Highlander (1992) s05e06 Episode Script

I like the way you move I like the way you groove Your mother told you it makes you go blue You have got to be joking.
I never joke about money, Richie, especially when it's mine.
Besides, this place has atmosphere.
Yeah, I can smell it from here.
Amanda? What? What's wrong with a regular bank? Unfortunately, dear boy, regular banks are full of sad little men who'd insist on knowing all the dreary little details of my overseas money transfers.
So? So behold the Temple of No Questions Asked.
Amanda? What? That's called fraud.
No, Richie.
That's called C-Y-A, cover your assets.
Now are you gonna come in with me? No, thank you.
I think I'm gonna just stay with my bike.
It's okay.
Come on.
Fill 'er up.
Relax, man.
I'm not gonna hurt ya.
Uh-oh.
Amanda.
Cory? Hit the sidewalk! Stay where you are and nobody gets hurt! Amanda! Damn it! He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander.
Born in 1592, in the Highlands of Scotland, and he is still alive.
He is immortal.
For 400 years, he's been a warrior, a lover, a wanderer, constantly facing other Immortals in combat to the death.
The winner takes his enemy's head and with it, his power.
I am a Watcher, part of a secret society of men and women who observe and record, but never interfere.
We know the truth about Immortals.
In the end, there can be only one.
May it be Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander.
Here we are Born to be kings We're the princes of the universe I am immortal I have inside me blood of kings I have no rival No man can be my equal Take me to the future of your world Was that a rush, or was that a rush? Just like old times, isn't it? Yeah.
Too old.
You know, I haven't been in a getaway car since, uh-- too long.
You miss it? Yeah, I do.
You miss anything else? Well-- Mm-mmm.
Well, he's a persistent devil.
You know him? Yeah, he's a friend.
Ahh, a friend.
Well, let's just take a look at what kind of friends you're making these days.
Wha-- What are you doing, Cory? What was that for? Well, maybe I want you all to myself.
Well, I'm flattered of course, Cory, but I think that's a little much.
Don't get your knickers in a knot.
He's an Immortal.
Takes a licking, keeps on ticking.
Since when did you get so careful? Since forensics got better.
You know, it is getting harder and harder for an honest man to make a dishonest living these days.
What are you standing there for? Come on.
We're two minutes behind schedule already.
"We"? No, wait a minute.
No, I'm just an innocent bystander.
Oh, no.
No, no.
No.
No, no, no.
Don't kid yourself, little sister.
From the moment you jumped in the back of that van, you became an accomplice.
No.
Mm-hmm.
You and me together again.
Your cheeks are flushed.
No, I-- It's just merely a, um, metabolic surge in reaction to an external stimuli.
That's all it is.
That's all it is.
What now? Oh, my God.
The '24 Packard.
I can't believe it! I've always enjoyed the distinctive allure of a classic chassis.
Ooh, you silver-tongued devil.
Your chariot awaits, my queen.
Thank you.
Hey, slow down! Hey! Damn it! Cory! Oh! What? Why, I think he smudged my hood ornament.
Well, Mr.
Grinkhov, is it? Look at it this way.
At least nobody got hurt, and they didn't get away with much.
Yeah, yeah, a couple thousand, I guess.
Too early to tell.
Okay, boys, I think we've taken up enough of these folks' time today.
I'll meet you back at the car.
- Save me a donut.
So what happened? You tell me! There was and I want it back! What I pay for you? So some lowlife can waltz through front door and clean me out? I already got the word out on the street.
Nobody knows nothin'.
Then what the hell-- This guy came from nowhere! All I know is I am one and a half million poorer than I was this morning, and I am not happy man! Don't worry.
I'll make it right.
Yeah, you bet you'll make it right.
You find money and bastard who stole it, or it is your ass.
You like my English? I got the message.
There's gotta be something else we can do.
Well, if you've got a better idea, I'm listenin'.
No.
No.
Wait.
Mac, this is it.
Oh, yeah, I'm sure.
I got a real close look at that grille.
What do you think he wants with Amanda? What do Immortals usually want with other Immortals? Oh, nice.
Nice.
Mmm, okay.
Oh, it's good to see you again.
Yes, it is.
It's great.
Great.
You know, you always were a great-lookin' skirt.
Skirt? Cory, you're living in the past.
What are you doing? Well, some habits die hard.
I can think of one in particular.
Look, Cory, I'm really flattered and everything, but I-I can't, um-- I can't do this, okay? You're married.
No, I'm, um-- Well, then what? I'm the original serial monogamist, you know? One guy at a time.
The guy on the bike.
You know, I really should call home.
He's probably really worried about me.
Hello? Hello? Hi.
You made an appointment? No.
We're looking for a 1924 Packard.
I'm happy for you.
Look, it's really important that we find it.
Really? Yeah.
You a cop or somethin'? No.
Then buzz off.
Does he not know who I am? I give up.
Who? I am Jacques Berie, the greatest director of all France.
You make movies? Movies? I make film history! You heard the man-- film history.
But I am desperate.
I am distraught.
- You are? - I am! - He is.
I, Jacques B?rie, am on the threshold of creating my greatest masterpiece! It's the gods.
Oh, the gods.
They mock me! The only thing my creation lacks is a car! Mais, non, not just any car.
It must be a 1924 Packard! - You, monsieur.
- Me? You are also an artist.
Look at these hands.
The hands of a genius! Genius.
Genius? But what good is a genius without the right tools? Uh, yeah.
Right.
You see? He understands.
Of course he does.
He knows my pain.
I love this man.
I love him! - A '24 Packard? -Oui.
Oui.
There was this guy who was lookin' for a part.
I'll-I'll go check the ordering.
Oh! Buddy! Genius? I'll applaud later.
That'd be nice.
Is that it? Yeah, that's the one.
Didn't leave much of an impression.
Oh, funny.
Ha-ha.
Okay, buddy, where is she? Cory.
- MacLeod? - Amanda? Serial monogamy, Amanda? Now, unless I'm seein' double, which I don't, I count two of them.
Now I recognize you.
You know, you look a lot different flying over the hood of a car.
Yeah? How would you like to go flying through a wall? He didn't mean anything by it, Richie.
Did you, Cory? Of course not.
I don't know him well enough to dislike him yet.
- Why, I oughta-- - Easy, Richie.
Hey, kid, what's the big deal? You're an Immortal, right? It's all in fun.
All in fun? Huh? Are you nuts? Let's just everyone relax.
As you can see, the young lady is in no immediate-- immediate physical jeopardy.
Well, obviously not.
In fact, she's positively glowing.
Look, I was gonna suggest that we dive into the old hot tub.
There's room for two more.
- Well, you can count me out.
You know what they say, don't you? Two's company, and four's not sanitary.
You know, I think he's still jealous.
Rules are made to be broken.
So are contracts.
But we signed on with Barnum and Bailey for a year.
We can't just leave! I mean, where are they gonna find an act as good as us? Let 'em use that third-rate lion tamer.
The Amazing Amanda takes second billing to no one.
I thought he was pretty good.
And having me do that tacky fortune-teller scam in between shows.
You looked great.
I mean, with that turban and-and, you know, the crystal ball.
I mean, you could've fooled me.
Is that what I spent my tightrope technique for? Well, is it? Amanda, maybe you should slow down just a little bit.
You know, you're not listening to me.
I don't think you care.
You don't care how depressed I get working those one-pump towns night after night.
I mean, where's the glitz? The glamor? The Great White Way? Stop! What are you, blind? I saw them.
- Of course you did.
- You're a little edgy today, aren't you? Can't be comin' from the cows.
There.
Looks like an armored truck.
Really? Don't get any funny ideas, Amanda.
Moi? - Excuse me, gentlemen? What's he doin'? What the-- Get out! Out! Get down! Oh, no.
Get out of the car! Get out! - Not now.
- In front.
Thank you.
Sir, get down.
We don't wanna get involved in this.
Sorry, fellas.
It's all in the name of charity.
Here's a little something for your troubles.
Excuse me.
What does he think he's doing? Stop flirting.
That Immortal just robbed that armored car.
So? He saw it first.
Come on.
We still got 14 hours to get to Chicago.
I'm drivin'.
No, you're not driving.
Yes, I am.
I'm not gonna let you drive this car.
No.
Not gonna hit any more cows walkin' along.
Do you know how to work this? I know how to work it.
I hope.
Is that-- This way.
No, this way.
There you go.
See? Be careful.
It's my new car.
Oh, I like your new car.
But you love the big top.
Ten bucks a week doesn't cut it.
I'm not going back.
Yeah, but don't you remember the crowd? Amanda! Amanda! How much do you think he made? He didn't make it.
He stole it.
Oh, picky, picky.
- That's his car! -So? I wanna meet him.
Why? Please? Pretty please? Hey.
Stay in good health, yeah? We'll never forget you for this, Mr.
Cory.
Okay.
Crops died off.
The government left us flat.
If it wasn't for you, we'd have starved.
God bless you, son.
Good-bye.
Bye.
God bless you.
- Cory Raines.
- Amanda.
Um, they actually call me The Amazing Amanda.
I'll bet they do.
Yeah, they call me Duncan MacLeod.
So, you're givin' it away, huh? Ah, well.
What else is it for, huh? I'm giving this family hope.
A chance to move west to California, start a new life.
Oh, brother.
Spare me the violins.
Well, all right.
I haven't taken all the bank's money.
They got lots left.
So do you.
Think of me as the Robin Hood of the 1920s.
Well, I got news for you, Robin.
This isn't Sherwood Forest.
And you're not stealin' from the rich.
You're stealin' from banks-- banks that hold other people's money.
People like them.
Nobody's getting hurt.
And I'm doing a little good for the common people.
Yeah.
Block's cracked.
What now, Robin? Here you go.
Catch.
You take care of her, she'll take care of you.
Thank you.
Come on, kids.
Let's try her out.
Here we go.
Next stop: California.
Oh, thank you.
Come on, kids.
Cory, that's the most unselfish thing I've ever seen.
Well-- So I guess now you'll be wanting a ride, huh? Thanks again, my friend.
Oh, see, Close the door.
now you got the idea.
Nice.
Okay, get in.
In the back.
If I were you, I'd switch the plates before you hit the main road.
They're probably a little hot.
That's a minor detail, Mackie boy.
Minor detail.
See? I told you.
What have we gotten ourselves into? We don't even know this guy.
Yeah, woof, woof.
Does this thing go any faster at all? If he moves, blast him! Oh, brother.
Hold it there, mister! Nobody move! Doesn't look good.
Come on.
"Doesn't look good.
" Where is your sense of adventure? I'd say right now it's about Listen, don't worry.
Okay? I've always got a plan.
Well, now would be a good time.
I got it.
You two are my hostages, see? And you didn't have-- you didn't have anything to do with the robbery.
That's it exactly! Perfect! And you two get off scot-free.
Yeah.
And what about you? I'll be waiting for you two to dig me up.
Y'all stay right there! I'm not digging him up.
Okay! Don't move! Freeze, or I'll blow these hostages into Swiss cheese! Drop the gun, boy! Whoo! You'll never take me alive, coppers! Y'all stay put in the car there! Hold it right there! Put your hands up! Oh, my God! I am so glad you showed up! He was gonna kill us! He was gonna kill us! There, there.
There, there.
It's all over now.
Can't we dig any faster? "We," huh? It's about time! You know, it would really serve him right-- Ah, ah, ah.
Don't you even think about it.
We're coming, Cory.
All right.
Ready? God.
For a minute there, I thought you guys weren't coming.
I was dying in there.
It never crossed our minds.
Yeah, speak for yourself.
The guy's a riot.
You know, I got an idea.
Hi.
Oh, I love you.
What do you say we run this racket all over the country? - Brilliant! - Stupid! But we'd make a fortune.
We'll get caught.
Of course we will.
Then we just dig us up and start all over.
You're not actually listening to this maniac, are you? Well, why not? I mean, it beats fortune-telling for rubes.
Well, if that's what you want, go ahead.
- Great! But just don't expect me to come along on your suicide junket.
So you're telling me you don't wanna go with me? If that's what you want.
Well, if you want me to stay, just tell me.
It's up to you.
Fine.
Fine.
Fine.
It looks like it's just the two of us.
Yeah.
Just you and me, doll face.
Fine.
So long, Mackie boy! Yeah.
Yeah, we're gonna have a lot of fun.
It could've been fun! You do that.
Lots of fun.
Fine.
Lots of fun! Whoo! You're letting her drive? I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Well, have fun.
Bye.
Don't forget to fill in the grave.
Amanda-- Wait! Wait, wait! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Let's talk about this! You can wait.
I'm gettin' tired of this, Amanda.
This is the last time.
I told you.
It's the last time! See ya, Mackie boy! We'll write! Get someone else to dig you up.
I'm not doin' this anymore.
Got better things to do.
Don't.
Those were the good old days, huh? Yeah? Are you nuts? How many times did you get shot? Oh, I don't know.
Um, more than Bonnie, less than Clyde.
What's the difference? Come on, Richie.
Let's go.
Amanda.
Take that.
It's okay.
Amanda? Think about tomorrow.
I mean, how can you like that guy? Everything to him is just one big joke.
Well, that's sort of why I like him.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
What did he mean about tomorrow? T-Tomorrow? Yeah, tomorrow.
Well, um, he sort of wants me to do this job.
What kind of job? The Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve.
Grinkhov.
Yeah.
I found our boy.
But we're gonna need some more bodies.
You're not actually thinking of helping Cory rob the Federal Reserve, are you? So what if I am? Because it's not some Ma and Pa outfit out of Hicksville.
You're talking about the Federal Reserve.
Oh, come on, MacLeod.
It's not the whole Federal Reserve.
Oh, well, that's a relief.
It's more like a, you know, a Federal Reserve truck.
A small one.
And, look, Cory has promised that no one, no one, no one is gonna get hurt.
Oh, he guaranteed you that, did he? Yeah.
Yeah.
He has a plan.
Oh, he would.
- You know what? I think you are jealous.
- I'm not jealous.
Yes, you are.
No, I'm not.
Why not? Because Cory thinks this is a big game.
That's why.
I mean, you get shot, you die, and, bingo, you pop back up again.
Immortality is a gift.
It's not a game.
You don't run people over just for fun.
Right? Absolutely right.
Not that I'm taking sides or anything.
Look, you get in over your head, don't come looking to me to bail you out.
What are-- What are you saying? Are you throwing me out? I didn't say that.
No, I think that's what I heard.
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Wait a minute.
You don't need the money.
I'm not gonna stay where I'm not wanted.
Hey! I didn't say I didn't want you here.
I know what I heard, and I don't need to be told twice.
Amanda! Smooth.
Very, very smooth.
I'm takin' notes.
Amanda.
What? Why are you doing this? Why shouldn't I do this? Because it's-it's-- it's dangerous and it's stupid.
Oh, great.
Now I'm stupid as well? No! Look, please, I-- Please what? Please don't rob the Federal Reserve? Please stay away from Cory? What? What you do with Cory is your business.
Exactly.
Look.
What? Are you gonna stop me? No.
Then get out of my way.
What do you want from me? You know what, MacLeod? It is amazing.
We have known each other and you still don't know.
Well, well, well.
I thought you said you weren't interested.
Mmm, I say a lot of things, you know? Just changed my mind.
Well, it's a woman's prerogative.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, well, then, let's-- let's get down to business.
Uh, yeah.
Let's go see those plans of yours.
I knew you'd come.
Amanda.
Richie? Where's MacLeod? Where's Cory? He's out.
What are you doing here? I'm trying to stop you from making a big mistake.
Well, you can just forget it, because I'm gonna do the job, and that's that.
No, Amanda, I'm not talking about the heist.
I'm talking about you and Mac.
Richie, you're wasting your time.
Look, Amanda, you don't really wanna be with Cory.
You're just doing it to get back at MacLeod.
Well, thank you for your insight, Oprah, but you're wrong.
You know, I'm missing the good old days.
You know, the running from town to town, one step ahead of the cops? All that good stuff.
You know.
I know Mac comes on a little strong, but that's only because he cares about you.
Did he send you here to tell me that? No.
Well, you see, that's the difference between MacLeod and Cory.
A woman wants to be wanted.
Not just a woman.
Everyone wants that.
But he does want you.
Then why didn't he tell me to stay? Because, Amanda, dear, nobody actually tells you anything.
That's beside the point.
No, this is the right thing to do.
You know, it's time to cut loose and have some fun.
Do you wanna come along? Okay, this is the armored car route.
Yeah? So? And this is where we're gonna stop.
Because? Because at that moment, a nearby car will choose to explode.
Boom.
And that's where Cory is? Right.
He's out wiring the dynamite as we speak.
You're really gonna go through with this.
Why not? It's an elegant, simple little scheme, you know? We pull the armored car over, gas the security guards, make off with the loot.
And nobody gets hurt.
Amanda, you don't know that for sure.
Come on, tiger.
You didn't used to be such a Boy Scout.
Don't you miss the thrill of a plan well-laid? A lock well-picked? You know, the adrenaline high.
Or maybe you've forgotten.
No, no, I remember being terrified, never knowing who to trust, always wondering if today'd be the day that I bite it.
Amanda, I've been there and I've done that, and I'm definitely staying very far away from anything that has to do with Cory.
Cory is a pro.
Cory is an ass.
You're just saying that because he ran over you.
- Twice.
Open up! It's the police! Go, go, go, go! Oh! The map! Freeze! Let go of me! Well, then.
I'm sure he'll come back for a little spitfire like you.
Let go of me.
Doll face? Oh, I've waited What was that for? Where's Amanda? Amanda.
She's been arrested, thanks to you.
Let's talk this out for a second, okay? First, what do you mean, arrested? - Where? - In your cabin.
Oh, now, well, this puts a little kink in things.
Yeah, well, you know what? I'm gonna put a little kink in your ass right after you help me get her out.
Ow! You know, I would love to, but we got us a little-- a little situation here.
What kind of situation? Well, at 8:29, an armored car comes by here, and, um, I-- I set that Saab to blow at, um, 8:28.
So-- Uh-oh.
We have to disarm the car.
Come on! There's no time! What do you mean, there's no time? - Disarming the car wasn't really in the plan.
- The plan? Give me the keys.
Give me the keys! No.
No! Give me the keys! No, no, no.
Come on, come on, come on.
Oh, no! That's gotta hurt.
Don't even touch me.
Oh, come on.
Mackie boy.
And don't call me Mackie boy.
Oh, yeah, no problem.
No, hey, no hard feelings, all right? Oh, no.
Why let a little thing like being blown up come between us, huh? No, no, no, no, no! Wait! It's all in fun! It's all in fun! Wait a second! You can't kill me! You can't kill me! You need me to get Amanda out, yeah? I really hate you.
First, you run me off the road.
Then, you get Amanda arrested.
Hey, I did not get Amanda arrested.
And now you've blown up Mac! Blown him up.
He's hardly the worse for wear.
You wanna try-- Come on.
Let's go.
Shut up! Yeah, okay, thank you.
Yeah.
The police don't have Amanda.
What? Yeah, they're, uh-- Everybody's got the same story.
No leads in the robbery case, no arrests, no suspects in custody.
No Amanda.
Hmm.
Well, if the police don't have Amanda, then who does? Exactly.
Cory.
You know, you're not-- you're not really gonna like this very much.
I'm sure I won't.
Sam Grinkhov.
Who? Excuse me? Sam Grinkhov.
You stole from Sam Grinkhov? What is that horrible stench? Of course.
It's a rotten cop.
No, no, no, no.
Don't damage insurance policy.
Mmm.
Obviously, a gentleman of discretion, though somewhat dubious fashion sense.
Your partner took something that didn't belong to him-- namely, my money-- and I want it back.
Oh.
You know, you really should brush after lunch.
And you really should learn to shut your mouth.
Just relax, Fido, okay? Look, my hands are tied.
You'll have to dial.
Yeah.
MacLeod, this is totally ridiculous.
You are staying put.
What were you thinking stealing from San Grinkhov anyway? You know, you're not a thief.
You're an idiot.
Excuse me? You heard me.
Okay, okay, okay.
This is how it works.
Richie and I give back the money, and he gives back Amanda.
Yeah.
No can do.
Come again? Well, I gave the money away.
Yeah, right.
I suppose to an orphanage, huh? Actually, yes.
To the Little Angels Orphanage just across town.
You can check it if you want.
Oh, my God! Come on, you guys.
You know what it's like.
No.
What's it like? You know what it's like growing up in one of those places, man? No money, no toys, no love.
That's a real pity.
Okay, Mother Teresa.
How are you gonna give the money back to Grinkhov? Well, I thought that you could float me the cash.
Strictly a loan.
Oh! That's a lot of dough.
Yeah, all right.
Um-- Yeah, recession.
Okay.
You know what? I think it's time for you to leave.
Can you fly? What? - Richie, give me a hand.
- Absolutely.
No, no, no, no! No, I got a plan.
I got a plan.
See, we go for the Federal Reserve truck again tomorrow.
No.
Come on.
It was a beauty of a plan, except for the-- the little timer thing.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I've got a better idea.
Listen, there's gotta be a better way.
I mean, work with me here.
Let's-Let's be creative.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Because-- Shut up.
Here's the detonator.
Boom! It's a fake one, right? Trust me.
I got a plan.
It's not bad, huh? Hopefully, they won't look too close.
Yeah.
Well, hopefully they won't have the time.
Okay, Cory boy.
We have ignition.
See ya, buddy.
What gives? Um, you give up Amanda, and I give you the combination to the briefcase.
Screw combination.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
See, any attempt to tamper with the lock will detonate the contents.
He's bluffing.
It is mild weather for this time of year, isn't it? Okay, uncuff her and get her out of my sight.
I'm hurt.
Easy.
- Thanks.
Uh, Cory, you comin' with me? - He stays.
Right behind you, doll face.
The combination.
Oh.
All right.
Let me see if I can remember how that goes.
Right.
Um, three, two, one, boom! Can you say incendiary device? You wouldn't.
You got 60 seconds.
Oh, and could you leave the money on the way out, please? Well? Don't I even get a kiss? I think it worked.
I think.
You're bluffing.
Forty-five seconds to go.
Hell, it's not my money.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it did work.
Yep.
Good plan.
Ow! Oh, baby, I'm sorry.
You're not that crazy.
No.
No, no.
No! It's brilliant.
Yep.
Brilliant plan.
Thank you.
Well, now for the grand finale.
- You didn't.
-You wouldn't.
Would you? Oh, come on, Mac.
Let me.
No, no, no, no.
This one's all mine.
No.
I bet that hurts, Cory.
Mmm! Hey! What the hell was that for? It's all in fun, Cory boy.
It's all in fun.
- Somebody leaving? - Yeah, um-- Well, Cory already blew town.
Ah.
Said he had a plan.
And I think that I should, um, you know, hit the road too.
At least until Grinkhov stops looking for me.
I wish you could stay.
That was really nice to hear.
But I think I should go.
Well, of course you should.
Hey, Mackie boy.
See you in Paris? But of course,ch?rie.
But of course.
And here we are We're the princes of the universe Here we belong fighting for survival We've come to be the rulers of your world I am immortal I have inside me blood of kings Yeah! I have no rival No man can be my equal Take me to the future of your world
