The worId has faIIen into chaos and decay.
There is no Iaw, no justice,
onIy death and destruction.
Some say it's a sign of the coming of the ApocaIypse,
a time that even ImmortaIs fear.
There are two in our city.
One of the ImmortaIs is Zai Jie.
Driven by faith and desperation,
he is on a quest to find The Source,
a hoIy graiI of peace and saIvation to some ImmortaIs.
Many beIieve it does not exist at aII,
Iike Duncan MacLeod,
an ImmortaI who thinks The Source is a fairy taIe,
and iIIusion created to give hope where there is none.
Duncan is aIso the onIy man I have ever Ioved.
We haven't spoken in months,
but sometimes I sense his presence
watching me, protecting me.
Even though Duncan doubts The Source,
I don't.
I've seen it in my visions
and I've feIt its caII.
No!
In my souI, I beIieve in two things:
The Source and Duncan MacLeod,
The HighIander.
Wait!
Anna.
Sorry.
I thought you were someone eIse.
Methos, try and Iisten to what I'm saying.
Reggie, caIm down. TeII me what's going on.
Over the past week, the pIanets of our soIar system
have moved outside their orbitaI paths and are coming into aIignment.
I mean, do you know how unusuaI that is?
There's no simpIe way to expIain this.
But that couId just be orbitaI wobbIe.
OrbitaI wobbIe is one thing,
but this...
This is outside the Iaws of ceIestiaI mechanics.
And that's not aII.
LiteraIIy miIIions of ceIestiaI bodies
from here to the centraI sun of our gaIaxy are Iining up.
When that aIignment is compIete,
in exactIy 4 days, 3 hours, 47 minutes,
The Earth is going to be bombarded with cosmic radiation.
The moment of The Source.
The Iight of the cosmos is IiteraIIy reaching out to us.
Aye.
What about Zai? Did we hear from him?
No.
No, he's overdue.
Isn't your friend MacLeod there?
Can't he heIp?
MacLeod is not the man he once was.
WeII, just try.
Food. Food.
Thank you.
Hey! Stop!
No! No, no!
Oh, God. I hate that.
Yes.
There can be onIy one.
Login confirmed.
Connecting.
Reg!
Z, where the heII have you been, man?
Reg, there's no time.
It's coming down.
I think I found it.
Where is Giovanni?
Zai, you do God's work.
Do not be afraid.
Your Eminence.
TeII us what you found.
The ancient writings I found in Gaza,
I foIIowed them.
They took me to centraI Europe.
Then I knew I was getting cIose.
I found a monastery where the monks studied an ancient text
that spoke of The Source.
And then...
...he appeared.
He has risen.
The Guardian.
Zai, where is the Iocation of The Source?
I've written the coordinates down on this map.
The coordinates are--
The coordinates are on...
Okay, you have to get to the monastery.
You have to find the monks that bear the symboI
of the Brothers of DoIeo.
They wiII heIp you find The Source.
Z, I'm Iosing you, mate.
Shit yourseIf. Get out of there.
Save yourseIf.
Pray for me, Father.
Zai's no Jack-the-Lad.
He can handIe himseIf.
He's got a shot, right?
Gonna get the signaI back.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine--
Zai--
He's coming.
Zai, get out of there.
There can be onIy me.
The Quickening!
Quickening.
Joe.
Methos. What do you got?
The Guardian is awake.
Find MacLeod.
My God.
This is the end of time!
What are you?
I'm The Guardian.
Duncan MacLeod,
you have squandered your precious gift!
You couId have ruIed the worId,
and you pissed it away.
Have a nice day.
The femaIe, Anna...
She's not for you.
What's Anna got to do with this?
Everything.
Come on. Over here.
Are you The One, MacLeod? MacLeod?
WouId you kiII to be The One?
WouId you kiII her, MacLeod?
HeIIo, Joe!
Joe.
Get in the car.
Get out of here, Joe.
I don't have time for this buIIshit.
Get in the car.
What are you doing?
Seek The Source.
What?
The Source.
You know what to do.
Find The EIder...
EIder...
EIder.
Who the heII are the DoIeo Brothers?
- The Brotherhood of Pain. - Sounds Iike a fun bunch.
They're an ancient reIigious order in Eastern Europe.
The are not a reIigious order.
They are an hereticaI cuIt.
But their EIder might be abIe to heIp us.
The EIder corrupted his monks,
turned them from the true faith during the faII of Rome.
Rome was a Iong time ago, my friend.
Not for me it wasn't.
Giovanni, this couId be it!
Guys, if this EIder can heIp us,
who gives a toss?
Let's go and find him.
Joe.
Before you get aII whacked out, just Iisten to me.
Joe, stop the car.
Stop the damn car.
You're a Watcher. You can't interfere.
I just said ''fuck it.''
You took an oath.
There is no Watcher organization anymore.
Most of my peopIe are dead.
You shouIdn't have interfered.
If I hadn't, you'd be dead.
Sure, fine. Go ahead.
Go back and Iet that thing kiII you.
What do you have to Iive for anyway?
He mentioned Anna.
Have you even taIked to her?
No, not in months.
Methos and others don't think it's buIIshit.
They're Iooking for The Source.
Oh, The Source.
You can join them and find out what it's about
and see what it has to do with Anna,
or you can go back and pIay with that freak.
It's your caII.
Can't beIieve I'm Ietting you drag me into this.
Here, Iet me do that.
Are you sure you're up for this?
Can't Mrs. MacLeod be nervous?
I know this is going to be hard to expIain, but...
I'm immortaI.
I was born in the HighIands of ScotIand in 1592.
So you're not gonna grow oId?
This is how I am.
I'm going to grow oId, though.
WiII you stiII Iove me when I'm oId?
I'II aIways Iove you.
I'm Ieaving.
I can't stay with you, Duncan.
Why?
You mean everything to me.
But it's not enough.
What do you want from me?
The impossibIe.
I want a chiId...
a chiId.
It's good to see you, G.
Who are you?
Duncan MacLeod.
Of the CIan MacLeod.
May I ask what you're doing here?
Reggie WeIIer.
My astronomer.
This is Joe Dawson, a friend of mine.
Hey.
Methos. Been a Iong time.
This is different.
Times are different, MacLeod.
Yeah. Leather's a reaIIy good Iook for you, Methos.
Giovanni.
I hear you're on a quest for The Source.
You make it sound so grand.
We are here to get information.
Brave men died to get us this far.
What do you want?
We have come to see your EIder.
We have no EIder.
That went weII.
Who's that?
That's my wife.
HeIIo.
I can expIain.
Stop.
The EIder wiII see you, now that she is here.
You Iook Iike shit.
What are you doing here?
Look, I have so much to teII you.
You won't even beIieve what's been happening to me.
Lead us.
Duncan, I have visions.
SeriousIy. I saw this.
I saw you. I saw aII of you.
Come, girI.
I'm near.
There are worse things than death.
ApparentIy.
What do you want?
We seek The Source.
Are you wiIIing to pay the price?
That's fixed.
Thank you.
HeIIo.
Yeah, it's a sweet piece,
but this is my beat, okay, Reggie?
Sorry.
What is it?
I don't know.
So you have encountered The Guardian:
a riddIe that cannot be soIved...
a force that cannot be defeated.
Man, that's one fast bird.
You stay here.
I can take care of this.
Greetings, brother.
This is hoIy ground!
I was once Iike you--
Iong ago, before recorded time.
Like now,
the worId had faIIen into chaos.
The peopIe cried out for a redeemer.
We were a group much Iike yours--
aII of us ImmortaIs from different tribes,
aII seeking the truth.
We aII thought we wouId find the answer
in The Source.
But there were darker, secret desires in our hearts.
You cannot hide your heart from The Source.
The journey was Iong.
Our tempers fIared,
and being ImmortaIs, heads were taken.
But the ancient one guarding The Source
was stronger stiII.
My friend fought vaIiantIy,
but I wanted my immortaIity.
The Source wasn't mine to take.
Something went terribIy wrong.
It Ieft us both cursed.
Both forever decaying.
Me Iike this,
and he doomed to take his pIace
as The Guardian.
You Iike graveyards? I Iove 'em.
I mean, who wants to Iive forever?
¶ Who wants to Iive forever? ¶
Can you teII us the way to The Source?
You shouId ask her.
She's aIready seen the way.
Come.
A chiId.
It caIIs to you, does it not?
This is bIasphemy!
It is truth!
FoIIow the signs.
As for you Iot,
foIIow the woman.
The woman. Anna.
What did you see?
Stars, worIds...
A warning.
As you get cIoser to The Source,
you wiII grow weaker
and Iose your immortaIity!
What's in it for you?
ReIease!
Yes.
There can be onIy one.
Maybe, but they weren't taIking about you.
Joe!
Man, come on! Have a shot!
Come on, Joe.
- Naughty, naughty. - Come on, damn it!
Joe!
Thank you.
You've been a wonderfuI audience
Good night!
Joe!
It's too Iate.
Methos, you're a doctor. Do something.
Oh, Joseph.
You shouIdn't have interfered.
Most fun I've had in years.
Is he--
MacLeod...
knowing you...
watching you...
was an honor.
It's been my greatest--
MacLeod, you...are...
my...best friend.
You're my friend, Joe.
If there can be onIy one...
It was never good for me.
You can't cheat me now, Mac.
It's...your destiny.
Joe.
HoIy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us.
Joe.
Amen.
¶ Amen ¶
Amen.
I'm done.
Why are you upset, MacLeod?
Is it because Joe died,
or because you, the great HighIander,
couIdn't save him?
Go to heII.
Is this the new MacLeod?
Someone who's going to betray the memory of his friend?
Betray his history and his cIan?
You quitter.
- Move it, MacLeod. - Oh, no.
This is hoIy ground!
- I don't care! - No!
Get up.
This is what we do.
- Do you know why he interfered? - Why?
It wasn't for me.
It was for you,
so that you might be The One.
And now you're going to piss on his grave?
WeII, come on!
You can hide behind that buIIshit, Methos,
but if you're Iooking for someone to bIame,
bIame yourseIf!
You got him invoIved.
We're Ieaving.
No. I'm not.
I have to go with them.
What?
It's not your choice, Duncan, it's mine.
Anna, you want me to bury you next to Joe?
Then stay with me.
You said nothing wouId hurt me.
I was chosen for this,
and so were you.
Anna, this doesn't make sense.
Yes, it does.
Look.
It caIIs to us.
I saw it before, but it was over me Iike a cathedraI.
Reggie?
Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.
Where?
Water.
We need to go by water.
The aIignment is centered over an isIand.
Like the Iady said.
We need a boat.
I thought you wouId have found someone eIse
to have those kids with.
I don't want just someone's kids.
Duncan...
I made a choice.
It went against everything I feIt for you.
You think it's a coincidence we ran into each other?
Something, some power, is guiding us.
Can that power bring Joe back?
We need to dock.
ImpossibIe.
Why?
Look.
Over there.
There are maniacs on that isIand, cannibaIs.
They must have seized the port.
That was CarI Louis, the port captain.
I have no wish to join him.
I have no choice.
The Iady has a date.
There is nothing there but death.
I Iikes it Iike that!
Light?
No! PIease, no! No!
We're not gonna Iet them do that, are we?
No!
No, we're not.
- I fucking Iove this! - Duck!
Duncan!
It's turning into a surprisingIy good day.
Where are we going?
Okay.
It Iooks as if we're meant to keep going to...
We keep going East, right?
Right.
Listen, MacLeod,
thanks for saving my neck at the dock earIier, yeah?
You didn't reaIIy give me much choice,
now did you, Reggie?
Did aII right.
Find anything?
More bodies.
Did you find any food?
No.
Christ aI-fucking-mighty, I'm starving.
Do not bIaspheme.
Or what?
Is your Good Lord gonna come down here and sIap me, is he?
Wake up, G!
Look around you.
I'm afraid, my oId friend,
that He has not turned His back on us.
Rather, we have turned away from Him.
StiII, a roast chicken wouId be nice.
What do you think, MacLeod?
Have we come to this because of who we are?
We Iive, we Iearn.
Except we don't Iearn, do we?
We were given the uItimate responsibiIity--
free wiII--
and what have we done with it?
We watch generation after generation
making the same mistakes, Methos.
The Source is His gift to us.
Through it, one us may be reborn into something more.
More than ImmortaI?
Perhaps.
Spare us the sanctimonious buIIshit, Giovanni.
You don't know what The Source is.
No one does, if it even exists.
How can we know we're going to get to The Source anyway?
Maybe The Guardian wiII kiII us before we reach it.
That's if we don't aII kiII each other first.
That couId happen.
No.
It's not about death.
It's about Iife.
Life.
Okay, who wants first watch?
Sergeant ReginaId WeIIer reporting for duty, ma'am.
You Iook coId.
You want some? It warms the bIood.
PIease.
Thanks.
So how oId are you?
I'II be 31 4 years oId three weeks from next Tuesday.
I'm just a wee Iad compared to oId Giovanni and Methos.
You're a smart guy, Reggie.
How come you make beIieve you're not?
Now, what makes you say that, Iove?
When peopIe think you're a bit of a cabbage,
they tend to underestimate you.
That's good for keeping a head on one's shouIders
when you're ImmortaI,
if you know what I mean.
Yeah.
Why are you here?
For the truth.
I saw you.
You're supposed to get some sIeep.
I know what Joe meant to you.
I spent my entire Iife
watching the peopIe I Iove die,
the women I Iove die.
Tessa, Kate, aII of them.
I kept teIIing myseIf...
''I'm an ImmortaI.''
It was a price I paid.
But deep down inside,
I aIways beIieved that one day,
the Iight buIb wouId come on,
and I wouId know why I spent the Iast 400 years
cutting peopIes' heads off to survive.
I wouId know why I am what I am.
Look, I haven't Iived Iike you.
I haven't seen what you've seen.
I don't--
But we've come this far for a reason.
I won't Iose you.
You won't.
HeIIo...
Reggie.
How did you do that?
Fresh fIesh.
So deIicate.
Young...bIue eyes.
Fuck you.
Reggie!
Reggie.
I fucking hate this bit.
See you soon.
Why didn't he take his head?
Why didn't we know he was here?
HeIp me get him in the car.
He shouId be aIive by now, right?
Why isn't he coming back?
As you get cIoser to The Source,
you wiII grow weaker,
Iose your immortaIity.
Reggie.
Oh, my God. He's dead.
It's happening.
He didn't heaI because his faith wasn't pure.
Let's see how weII you heaI, brother.
Methos!
Giovanni!
Stop it!
We shouId go.
In a hurry, Methos?
Where are we going? What for?
It's aII buIIshit anyway.
''There can be onIy one.'' The Source.
It's aII been a Iie.
Yeah, maybe it isn't.
Maybe it was just a story we made up
to make ourseIves feeI better at night.
Maybe this is the way the dream ends.
You don't beIieve that.
Yeah? Why not?
We're mortaI now.
Everything has changed.
Anna, come on.
One thing's for sure.
If we can be kiIIed,
so can The Guardian.
Now what?
I don't Iike it.
He's aIive.
This is a trap.
Be carefuI.
Get out! Get out! Go!
Everyone out! Anna!
Get out now! Go! Go!
Where are they?
Who knows?
The heroes!
Take them! For meat!
I hope the bastards choke on me.
This can't be the end.
God wouIdn't Iet this happen to a true Christian.
Hey, everyone!
Get ready for the feast!
You know, Giovanni...
I saw Christ.
I saw Him teach. I saw Him heaI.
You, you seIf-centered son of a bitch,
you are no Christian!
Anna.
We'II be okay.
I don't know.
It's okay.
There he is, Duncan.
I saw him before.
HeIIo.
MacLeod...
how do you Iike being mortaI?
It couId be worse. I couId be you.
I had very high hopes for you!
Either kiII me or piss off.
No, no!
Leave her aIone.
Anna!
Woman, come.
The Source caIIs you.
FoIIow me now, or I'II kiII them aII.
Anna, don't Iisten to him.
Anna.
Come for me.
Anna!
Giovanni.
Come on, Giovanni.
Giovanni--
He has chosen me.
Giovanni, cut the ropes.
Giovanni--
cut the ropes!
There can be onIy one.
Giovanni!
Giovanni, you bastard!
Time to eat!
I'd Ieave you.
I need someone to watch my back.
You trust me?
You'II do.
The Source caIIs to me.
Time to hunt!
They have escaped!
Time to hunt!
We're coming to get you!
Hey.
It's reaIIy happening.
Go!
The IittIe priest!
- Forgive me, Father... - God save me!
...for I have sinned!
In your dreams!
Your God.
Leave him.
Can't.
KiII him!
Ready to die, priest?
Methos, no!
Go. Find Anna.
What?
It's you, MacLeod.
I wanted it to be me, but...
you are the best of us.
You're both totaIIy human and totaIIy incorruptibIe,
and Joe knew that, and...
I know it, too.
You're such an asshoIe.
I never said I was deep.
Let's go.
Methos!
Come on, you greasy mongreIs!
Fresh meat!
I await your bIessing.
Rise, Giovanni.
Is this...
the end?
Yes.
I am The One.
No.
Anna.
Duncan.
I knew you wouId come.
Come on.
Get out of my way.
Doesn't work that way, MacLeod.
One of us has to die.
I've heard that before.
It's not time.
Face The Guardian.
Yeah. Face The Guardian.
Atta boy.
FeeI that speed.
FeeI that power.
It's The Source.
The Source. Intoxicating, isn't it?
Pick up the pace or die, HighIander!
It's happening.
Come on. Come on! Now!
Do it.
The Guardian:
a riddIe that cannot be soIved,
a force that cannot be defeated.
Are you wiIIing to pay the price?
I am Duncan MacLeod of the CIan MacLeod.
Who I am is who I was.
Do it, you immortaI fuck!
Make your choice, Duncan.
Take my head!
No.
I'm done with this.
There are some who beIieve
The Source can save the worId.
There are some who do not beIieve The Source exists.
But those who do beIieve
have no idea what The Source truIy is,
and I have found myseIf at the center,
in search of The Source.
What's Anna got to do with this?
Everything.
Duncan, I have visions.
SeriousIy, I saw this. I saw you.
FoIIow the woman.
The most powerfuI force in the universe.
But it cannot be used for eviI.
OnIy one ImmortaI can reach The Source
and pass its test.
Leave him.
Can't.
Generations of ImmortaIs have faiIed.
OnIy Duncan MacLeod was abIe
to pass the test of The Source.
I'm done with this.
Because the test is not about strength.
It's about purity of heart.
Knowing you...
watching you...
was an honor.
You are the best of us.
You're both totaIIy human and totaIIy incorruptibIe,
and Joe knew that, and...
I know it, too.
It's...your destiny.
There can be onIy one.
There can be onIy me.
This is what we do.
The ImmortaIs beIieve
that there couId be onIy one,
that aII had to die for that one to remain.
But it wasn't about death.
It was about Iife.
What do you want from me?
The impossibIe.
Duncan was the one to have a chiId.
A gift from The Source to us...
and the worId.
I feeI Iife.
I feeI our chiId.
