HIGHLANDER 1x18 "THE LADY AND THE TIGER" Subtitles subXpacio
Ah, the roar of the crowd, the smell of... What is that smell?
I love the circus. But why would anyone send you tickets?
- I'm not sure. - But you can guess.
I'm actually going to a circus. Unbelievable!
Merci, messieurs, dames! !Thank you, ladies and gentlemen!
And now, please direct your attention high overhead, to the highwire...
and give a big round of applause...
for the dazzling, the electrifying, the death defying...
the amazing Amanda!
Friend of yours?
Just a bad habit.
I'll take your horse, sir.
I'm glad to see you back safe.
Duncan!
- My love. - Were you planning to say good-bye?
Good-bye?
I'm not going anywhere. Just putting a few things away.
What have you been doing since I've been gone?
I've been waiting here, very impatiently.
How was Munich?
It lacked a certain... "je ne sais quoi".
You know very well what it lacked.
- Remember, just the moment I go in there. - Yes, sir!
I want MacLeod's quickening.
You helped me steal the jewels. MacLeod's head wasn't part of the deal.
Besides, you'll have to fight a troop of soldiers to get to him.
Another time.
Don't be foolish.
What do you want?
An explanation.
What you are doing with Baron Holstein's signet ring, for example?
You first.
You stole it last night from the baron's castle,
with all of his wife's jewelry.
But this ring...
you stole right off his finger while he slept!
Imagine that.
Don't do that again.
You're threatening me?
Yes.
Pick it up. Pick it up!
Again.
I... I... I'm sorry.
Apology accepted.
Gute Nacht!
She's stolen my horse!
Shoot him!
My horse! Shoot! Shoot!
You mean the Amazing Amanda is like a thief?
Not like at thief. She is one. A master thief, who steals when it suits her.
You mean whenever she needs the money.
Yeah, or when she needs a little excitement.
- But she could have gotten you killed! - Or worse.
When I finally caught up with her,
she swore she hadn't meant to get me in trouble.
Hey, wait a minute. You mean you tried to see her again?
Yeah.
Duncan!
Yeah, well, who wouldn't!
- Hi! - It's been ages!
Barnum & Bailey, the 1926 tour of the Southwest as a matter of fact.
They know.
Well, I'm sure they don't know everything.
You'd be surprised.
There was a federal Marshall after you back then,
after you'd left the circus, something about a string of burglaries across five states.
I'm sorry. I hope he didn't bother you.
After Bavaria, I never forgave myself.
You don't look like someone who would worry much about forgiveness.
Tess, you do know they all carry big swords with them.
Just a thought.
You've always had a taste for beautiful and spirited women, Duncan.
And modest. Don't forget modest.
Time to go. It's been thrilling...
It's been sixty-five years. A girl might think you're trying to avoid her.
How could you think that? Good-bye, Amanda.
If you ever wanna run away with the circus again, look me up.
I will.
Listen, you know, you should stop by,
you know, maybe say hello or something like that.
- I'd love that. - I've got a business card somewhere...
Here. Here you are. Just feel free, drop by, anytime, love to see you.
Bye bye.
- So, now you've met Amanda. - Yes. Now I've met Amanda.
Hey, Amanda! There's a guy waiting for you in the tent. Says he knows you.
- Thank you, Jules. I was expecting him. - Ok, fine.
Hello?
So, you couldn't stay away.
Hello?
Where are you?
You haven't changed a bit.
- Zachary. - Amanda.
Finders' keepers?
You've become a creature of habit.
- You escaped. - Yes.
You know, it wasn't easy getting out of a maximum security prison. Even for me.
I had to play crazy outside the walls. After that...
And you know what I missed most?
The feeling... of a good... old fashioned...
Quickening!
Wait!
No, after what you did to me, you can't come up with a reason good enough.
I can give you ten million reasons. In American dollars.
It's funny. You'd think that would be enough...
I can give you the head of Duncan MacLeod!
Bonjour, mademoiselle.
Tu as le bien bel air aujourd'oui.
I've always thought French was overrated as a love language, haven't you?
Absolutely.
And you should only use "tu" when you know someone really well. Very well.
- When will Duncan be back? - Who?
- Duncan. - Duncan. Yes! Duncan MacLeod. He will be...
I don't know. Maybe you should ask Tessa.
Ah! I'm sorry. I don't think you told me your name.
My name? Richie... Rich... Richard.
The Lionheart.
- I knew him. - Richard The Lionheart?
Yeah, right.
Really?
What was he like?
His lion heart wasn't his only animal attribute.
He had the stamina of a bull...
His muscles rippled under his skin like a fine stallion when he...
Well...
Yes. You do remind me of him.
I do?
Yes, yes, I do.
When did you think Duncan would be back?
Any minute... now.
It's very nice meeting you, Richard.
Yeah. Richard The Lionheart. I like that.
Knock, knock.
Sorry to barge in... No pun intended.
This is quite charming, in a claustrophobic sort of way.
Well, we can't all live under the Big Top and wear rhinestones on our bodysuits.
Can I help you with something?
Yes. I was hoping to catch Duncan at home.
No pun intended.
So you're an artist?
I do sculpture, mainly. This is just a preliminary sketch for something.
Ah, sculpture? I knew Rodin.
He seldom used sketches. He preferred to go directly to the clay.
He liked to work it with his hands.
Very sensual man. I modeled for him... among other things.
Well, you'll have to tell me about those "other things" sometime,
but right now, I have to go.
Well...
just in time to say good bye to Duncan.
Why am I not surprised?
The ghost of Christmas past come to pay you a visit.
Don't unwrap any presents while I'm gone.
She's quite refreshing in a gauche sort of way.
- I think I like her. - What do you want, Amanda?
I need your help.
I'm sorry, I don't do second story work. Or maybe you need a getaway driver.
I've given up my life of crime, Duncan.
That's what you said in Constantinople, two hundred and fifty years ago.
I succumbed to an impulse.
I was nearly flayed alive when they came looking for you.
But you got away. You always do.
- Someone is after mi. - The Police?
No. One of us.
- I felt his presence last night. - Who was it?
I don't know. But it's not a fan.
Could you just... keep an eye out for me.
I need someone to hold my hand.
That's a switch. I usually end up holding the bag.
Not this time, I promise.
Look, I think she's caught me, don't you?
May I help you, monsieur?
I bought a sword in here some... some time ago.
Unfortunately, it was lost.
It was forged in Toledo, with a Damascus blade, an Austrian saber.
I remember selling such a sword, but that was before your time.
Perhaps you are thinking of one of our very fine copies.
That is indistinguishable in appearance from the one you lost.
May look the same, but it doesn't feel the same.
I don't want this for show.
I need a blade that can stand up to the finest steel ever made. Do you understand?
Of course, of course. You are a purist.
I do have one original, made in Toledo, of Damascus steel.
Get it. Please.
Yes.
There was a man in here thirty years ago, who handled a sword just like you.
- You resemble him. - Really?
I'll take it.
Monsieur, must be aware that such a sword costs forty thousand francs.
- I'm not sure I have quite that much on me. - We do take credit cards.
I won't leave home without it.
- He's not here. - Yeah. So I see.
Why don't you come inside? I have a Veuve Cliquot 76 on ice.
As I recall it's your favorite year.
That was 1876. And my tastes have matured since then.
You know? I know you won't believe this, but...
there've been a lot of times when I missed you.
I know it isn't mutual.
There never was another Immortal, was there?
Just... you think I made him up to get you here?
- It had crossed my mind. - I'm not that hard up.
Good bye, MacLeod.
Hey! What the hell is going on here?
I'm Duncan MacLeod of the clan MacLeod.
- I don't think we've had the pleasure. - I know who you are.
We'll meet again, Highlander.
- You're sure you've never seen him before? - If I owned a bible, I'd swear on it.
Would you?
You know, a girl could get used to having someone like you around.
Don't get too used to it.
Hey! Where are you going?
- Home. - What if he comes back?
Now that your friends know who to be watching for, I doubt he'll give you anymore trouble.
But...
you haven't let me thank you properly for saving my life.
Send me a card.
What's up?
Just checking into a prison break I saw on the news.
- Why? - Well...
the Immortal who attacked me resembles the guy who escaped.
What does it say?
The guy's name is Zachary Blaine. He tried escaping twice before by...
walking out on a telephone wire. - Telephone wire? Like a circus guy.
Just like a circus guy.
You think there is a connection between this Blaine and Amanda?
I used to be a performer myself, you know.
Is that so, monsieur Lamartine? I'll bet you were magician.
No, no. It was in vaudeville. I was The Memory Man.
"There is nothing he doesn't know, no question he... " I forget the rest.
After the war, jobs were scarce...
- So you became an agent? - I love show business.
Especially the circus.
How many performers do you handle right now?
None at the moment, I retired three years ago.
But I come in every day.
Have you ever come across a highwire artist by the name of Amanda?
- Amanda Darieux? - I do remember an Amanda.
but her last name was... LeFauve.
She was a beauty...
phenomenal talent. Why do you ask? She must have been dead for years.
I'm doing research for a book on the history of the circus.
She and Zachary were stars of the first magnitude.
- Zachary? - Zachary Blaine.
They were partners for a while. I think... wait...
I may have a poster somewhere.
I don't find it. Oh! Here we are...
That's Amanda.
Monsieur Lamartine, your memory's just as good as it ever was.
Okay, okay they're in it together, but what are they after?
- Isn't it obvious? They're after your head. - Not Amanda.
Maybe this Zachary fella is forcing her.
That woman doesn't get forced into anything.
There's got to be something else going on.
Why don't I follow her? See what she's up to.
- I don't think so. - Oh, trust me, Mac.
- She'll never know I'm there. - No.
- You're hurting me. - Good. I should do more than that.
What kind of games are you playing? MacLeod almost took my head.
It's your own fault.
If you would have come up an hour later, he would've been drunk and unconscious.
Now he knows you're around, it's gonna be that much harder.
I told you before, I'd have his head or yours.
Just relax, ok? You're gonna get it.
You still want the ten million, don't you? Well?
These books are worth ten million dollars?
This one.
Where the hell are you gonna fence a thing like that?
I already have the buyer set up.
There're two alarm systems, the Fortrin 303 is the mainline, the 122 as a sonic backup.
Now, the new box controls the sonic centre. You turn it to the right, and deactivate it.
- Is it to the left? - Don't be funny.
You tend to fall behind in prison.
We work it just like the Gottsburg museum. We do it tonight.
- What? What is it? - Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Zachary and Amanda didn't go into that museum because they're art lovers.
You're walking into a whole lot of trouble. And for what?
Zachary's motor is running. He won't rest until he takes my head.
Yes, and don't forget about Amanda. For what I could see, she's not a very happy camper.
After all she's done to you, why do you care whether she's happy or not?
I don't know, Tessa. She made me laugh when there weren't too many things to laugh about.
Maybe that doesn't seem important, but those are things I remember of her.
She makes me feel like I have to compete with her.
Maybe if I'd been a lady pirate or something.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Richie, gives a moment, would you?
I was just leaving.
Listen to me, young lady, she's no competition.
Duncan, be careful.
Always.
I should have known I could never fool you, Duncan.
- Well, so how did it happen? - We were partners, you know...
a little highwire, a little burglary. He started to get annoying, very greedy.
So I needed to get rid of him.
I staged my own death and he was convicted of the murder.
Oh, how convenient, so when he escaped,
he came looking for you, and you offered him my head instead.
No. It was his idea. He's detested you for centuries.
And why is that?
Because he's always felt second best.
I guess it's because I told him he was. - Thanks a lot.
I will never let him take this head. It's much too pretty...
- You should leave town. - I will. Come with me.
No, I'm sorry. I've already had that pleasure.
We could split the money and can get rid of Zachary and...
If I were you I'd stop wasting my time talking.
Cause when he finds out that you're not gonna show he's gonna be very angry.
Are you sure there's nothing I can do to make you come with me?
- Sorry. - Me too.
- Why am I not surprised? - A girl's got to do what a girl's got to do.
Okay, let's get this over with.
A man's got to do what a man's got to do.
Amanda!
They promised not to hurt you if it isn't necessary,
so just be good boy and they'll let you go in the morning.
Amanda! Amanda!
How'd she get you guys to do this? Like I didn't know.
Do you know what she's doing right now? She's committing grand theft.
- You expect us to believe you, rube? - Is that what you think I am? A rube?
The circus is being in my family for generations.
Yeah, right.
- My grandmother vas Zazel The Great. - The human cannonball?
Yeah. She traveled with the Silbon family aerialists.
Even played for Queen Victoria.
- What was your act? - I did an equestrian bit.
They called me The Great MacLeod.
- Never heard of you. - I played the Orient.
- Hey, look, I can prove ¡t. - How?
- Test me. - Amanda wouldn't lie to me.
Trust me. You won't be the first man she's made a clown of.
Okay, rube. Show us what you can do.
I might be a little rusty.
Excuses from the Great MacLeod.
At a full gallop you're going to hit each of these targets.
- That's right. - And you see that man over there?
That's Henry, the lion tamer. He's a crack shot, and those aren't blanks he's loading.
- Anything you want to say? - Yeah, it's show time.
Lucky!
The Fortrin 122 kicks in the next floor.
How long till the guard clear rounds?
12 minutes.
You know, you're really good. I should let you get away with it.
You know what? I'm gonna toss a coin.
Heads I let you go. Tails I call the police. Ok?
Well, it wasn't the smoothest job I've ever pulled...
but it worked.
Where the hell is MacLeod?
- I should've known this was a setup. - What?
I help you steal the book. MacLeod takes my head,
and the two of you live happily ever after.
Okay Zach, old pal. If it's what you wanted.
- Let's get this over once and for all. - My pleasure.
I was saving this to MacLeod to slowing down,
but as they say: "All's fair in Love and... "
- I knew you'd come. - What, you missed me?
Why try to save her, MacLeod? She's betrayed you before.
At least I was smart enough to stay out of jail.
What's a girl to do?
Look, I've a beautiful villa in the Greek islands.
We can bask in the sun for a hundred years.
- Amanda. - She's going to get old.
I don't care.
Oh well, ¡t was worth a shot.
I see you in the circus, someday.
Amanda.
Yes?
Leave the book.
