It's not known if the explosion was caused by gas, chemicals, or a terrorist bomb,
but it's clear the mid-city subway complex has been torn by a huge blast.
Firefighters and rescue teams across the city are scrambling to reach the disaster site,
hoping to contain the damage and to reach victims.
Other than two pedestrians, no casualty figures have yet been released.
But as the smoke billows up, one thing is certain...
-The death toll will continue to rise. - Keep it moving.
We need water at the main entrance. Come on. Let's go.
We need emergency vehicles here right away. Go! Go!
Where do you think you're going, Anne? I'm the doctor. Remember?
Ha. A pregnant one?
Look, I work in the E.R. She's gonna have to get used to it someday. Let's go.
Stop, wait... Stand aside, sir. We need this area clear.
We need miners. We need mining equipment. We can't do this kind of thing on our own.
Excuse me, sir? You can't go down there. You understand?
- I'm Dr. Anne Lindsey. - Who let you through? Jack!
I told you to keep people out! They said you needed extra help around here.
We need to get down there. Yeah, well, you don't. Not for now.
You go get yourself a cup of coffee or a glass of milk or...
What are you talking about? The first hour's critical. This could take a while.
I know, Doctor. I'm sorry. I can't let you through till I got it secure.
The whole place could come down around your ears yet.
Relatively few victims are thought to have been inside the structure.
We will continue to bring you late-breaking developments from the...
Mac, I've been thinking.
What, again? No, I'm serious.
No, Richie. I like the colors.
No, it's not about the colors. I like the colors too.
I've been thinking that... what with this place being finished and all...
maybe you wanna give me the loft.
I'm not moving. Reporting live from the disaster.
Here is an update. Rescue workers are having a difficult time...
Attention all crew. The structure is still unsafe.
-Use extreme caution when entering the building. - Oh, I hate this!
I'm not gonna wait. You know, just calm down. You know what he said.
We don't want any heroes. That's what they pay me the big bucks for, right?
We need more stretchers at the front entrance.
Don, have your crew string a line around the perimeter of the building.
Hey, could you give me a hand over here?
Keep civilians away. Emergency personnel only.
What? You gonna sell this thing?
I mean, this is all a business venture? Nope. It's not.
Well, if you're not gonna sell it, and you're not gonna live here,
can I live here?
Too late.
Let's go.
Help!
Please, help! Hey! Over there. Over there!
Wait here. Let's clear the way.
Okay, come on down, Anne.
Hi. We're here. We're here to help you.
I'm going to go check out the other side. All right. All right.
I'm a doctor. You're gonna be fine. We're gonna get you out. Try not to move.
It's okay. It's all right.
Where does it hurt? Just tell me...
Look out, Anne!
We interrupt our program with an update...
on the mid-city subway explosion.
A second major blast has rocked the station, making access to lower levels almost impossible.
Unconfirmed reports say a medical team from County General Hospital,
led by Dr. Anne Lindsey, has been trapped inside.
We have little information at this time, but we will continue to cover the situation...
Anne. as it develops.
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
Five guys up over on the north side.
Doctor, over here!
Okay.
Our E.T.A. is approximately...
What a circus! Who do you think's in charge here, Mac?
Your guess is as good as mine.
No, I want everybody out of there. You understand? Everybody.
Your guys, my guys... everybody.
Water and Power's discovered another leak. It could blow at any time.
Anne Lindsey, she's with... Just a minute, just a minute.
Here. Gimme this, Max. Let me show you. What? Anne who?
The doctor, Lindsey. The pregnant one. I remember.
That's her, yeah. She went in there without my permission. She never came out.
Went in where? Never mind where. The last thing I need's another damn hero.
Come on. Come on.
We're not giving up, are we? No, we're not.
Just 'cause he says we can't go down, doesn't mean we're not going down. That's right.
Well, then, um, where are we gonna go?
Oh, God! Mike!
Okay, buddy. It's okay. My back. I think it's... my back.
It's okay. I'm gonna get you out of here.
Okay.
Oh, God. You're gonna be all right. Try not to move.
Pretty easy. All right. I'm gonna give you something for the pain.
No, no. There isn't time. You gotta get out of here.
I'm not gonna leave you!
You have to get... Shh.
- You gotta get out of here. This whole place could... - Don't speak. Be quiet.
Get out. This whole place could come down. It's okay.
Are you okay?
Go.
Man, this is unbelievable! Looks like someone dropped a bomb in here.
That's exactly what it looks like. But this was gas.
And, uh, there's a difference? Yeah, there's a difference. Believe me.
I've been there.
Uh, yeah? Where was that? Hello?
Did you hear that?
England, World War II. They called it "the blitz."
With this blackout, as London waits out this terrible war,
a little beacon of light in the darkness... we are broadcasting live,
courtesy of the BBC, directly from the lounge of the Savoy Hotel in the heart of London,
to all of England and across the great ocean to all our friends in America.
We have been informed that the great man himself, Winston Churchill,
has left his bunker and is in a suite upstairs...
negotiating with our French and Dutch allies,
and that he will be down momentarily to discuss the state of the war with you.
Until then, we are returning to our studios...
and the Lester Lawrence Orchestra.
So join us all... Devonshire to Devonport,
London to Los Angeles...
Ah, we need the Americains in the war.
The problem is is that Montgomery is so full of himself,
he can't stand the idea of sharing power with anyone.
I say, she's right. Old Monty was a bit of a pip even when we were back at Oxford.
Sulked ferociously for months when he didn't make crew.
What I heard is he could not row.
And I'm sure that's not how he remembers it.
Still, I'd rather him on our side than Rommel.
That's because you'rea Brit.
If you'll excuse me? Madame, gentlemen.
Could you, uh, give me a moment? Thank you.
You look beautiful. I hate to be the one to say it first, but I missed you.
Well, it's only fair. I said it first the last time.
It's not fair that British Intelligence should have a stronger hold over you than I.
Who said anything about British Intelligence?
Please. You have MI5 written all over you.
You're fishing in the wrong pond. I was just down at Somerset looking at some horses.
So why don't I believe you?
Because you're a reporter, and that makes you terminally suspicious.
Just persistently curious. Here. Yes.
Welcome back, MacLeod. Profitable trip, I hope.
Oh, very promising. Uh, we'll know soon.
- Somerset? - The horses.
Right.
What?
Ladies and gentlemen, it seems the führer is once again paying an uninvited call.
Therefore, we will be suspending our broadcast until further notice.
For those in the London area, please proceed to a shelter as quickly as possible.
Remain there until the all clear is sounded.
This is not the first time Nazis have bombed civilian London, but let's hope it's the last.
We interrupt our program until Mr. Hitler gets the message...
that he is decidedly not welcome and calls his hooligans home.
Get in the hole, James.
I'll see you later. Where you going?
Harry, I need a favor.
There's an air raid going on. And the world needs to hear about it.
Not from me, they don't. All I need you to do is set this up on the roof.
Look, they don't pay me enough for that.
Do I have to beg?
You can't go up there. You'll get yourself killed! He's right.
You know what, dearie? I think you're out of your bleedin' mind.
Oh, well.
What do you think you're doing?
Well, you can't do this on your own.
So, you know how to work this stuff?
Oh! Of course, you do. Isn't that one of the first things they learn in, uh...
which part is this, "cloak" or "dagger"?
It's a radio. How hard could it be?
All right. You can help. But it doesn't mean I believe...
all that stuff about Somerset and the horses.
Come on. Come on! What is taking you so long?
Oh, God, how can you be so calm?
Calm, huh? Slow.
Maybe you'd like to do it? Yeah, I could.
You're on the air.
Good evening. This is Diane Terrin on the rooftop of the Savoy Hotel.
Once again, Hitler is displaying his madness with indiscriminate bombings in the heart of London.
At this very moment, I am here to report on the fires,
on the bombs, on the attacking planes.
As I'm standing here, the enemy continues to pound this city...
as they have for months, striking at the greatest landmarks...
without honor or remorse.
What I really want to tell you...
is that, through it all, this is still London.
I can see the towers, the moonlight on the surface of the Thames,
Parliament is still standing, the palace is untouched,
and Big Ben is still ticking.
So, Mr. Hitler, the beer is warm, the food inedible...
this is still England!
There aren't enough bombs to undo that!
So my message is to the Nazis...
I was dancing when you got here, and I'll be dancing when you're gone.
The all clear has been sounded.
It is over for tonight.
Merry old England,
I urge you all,
check with your neighbors,
see if anyone needs help.
Back home, in America, write your congressman.
England needs our help.
She needs our planes, she needs our weapons,
and she needs our prayers.
Good night, and God bless.
You were great.
Where did everybody go?
I think all the sane people are still in the shelter.
How wonderful! They left us some champagne.
Well, maybe they know there's a war on.
You know, for the moment, I don't care.
Thank you.
Dance with me. What, here?
Mm-hmm. But there's no music.
That's funny. I can hear it.
Just listen.
Have I known you all my life, or does it just seem that way?
Do you believe in fate, Duncan?
Sometimes.
I do.
I think this whole war happened just so we could meet.
I'm, uh, sorry to interrupt.
If it isn't Harry, my trusty engineer.
What can we do for you, Harry?
Oh, I just came to see if you and the gentleman were okay,
and to, uh, thank the gentleman for doing my job.
It's no problem, Harry.
We had a radio in the shelter. We heard you... every blessed word.
You did us all proud. Wasn't a... Wasn't a dry eye in the place.
Thank you, Harry. No. Thank you.
And, uh, God bless the both of you.
The city looks so peaceful.
No Luftwaffe,no bombs, no sirens.
Diane, tonight was... Wonderful.
Incredibly stupid.
Uh-oh. I think I've heard that before. Oh.
I know we have to take chances, but you risk your life every chance you get.
And you don't?
I never tell you not to go somewhere, not to do something.
We're fighting this war in our own way.
I am doing what I have to do just the same way you are. It's different for me.
I hope you're not going to say it's different for you because you're a man.
No, that'snotwhat I was going to say.
That's good, because if I thought for a minute that you were anything like...
those idiots that won't let me into that damn Press Club,
then this could turn into a very long war.
I should've met you before all of this.
Why? You think I'd be any less stubborn?
No, I don't.
But I would've liked to have shown you London then.
There are some places here that are magical.
Take me.
Someday. How about now?
You wanna go sightseeing in the middle of the blitz in the middle of the war?
It's a beautiful night... not a bomber in the sky. It sounds good to me.
Anne? Anne!
Over there.
Easy with him. Easy. Come on. Got you.
Come on. I've got you.
There. There you go.
He's in shock. He's gonna need a doctor.
Yeah. Yeah, put that 'round him.
That's it. There.
You got him? Yeah, I got him.
I'll take care of him. You go find Anne.
Okay. Wish me luck.
Good luck. See you then.
Here you go. It's okay. Anne? Anne, where are you?
I'm right here. I'm right here.
Drink some of this, okay?
Just drink some of this. All right?
Anne. Anne, I feel dizzy.
I can't see you!
Doctor? Doctor.
Doctor! Oh, my God!
Mike. Damn it!
Mike! Oh, God, no! Mike, don't do this.
Do something! He's gonna die.
He's not gonna die!
Come on, Mike. Stay with us. Stay with us.
Keep him still. Keep him still!
Come on. Come on. Come on. We need you down here, Mike.
Stay with us. Come on. Come on, Mike. Hold on.
Hold on! Come on!
Mike, we're here. We're here with you. Come on. Come on.
Come on. Come on, please! Don't go! Stay with us! Come on.
Mike! Please! Come on! Stay with it!
Oh, God, he's dead. He's dead.
We're all gonna die. We're all gonna die! Oh, God in Heaven, help us!
The war rages on. London reels as the Nazis do their worst...
to strike at the very heart of Britain.
We shall go on to the end.
We shall fight in France. We shall fight on the seas and oceans.
We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air.
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.
We shall fight on the beaches.
We shall fight on the landing grounds.
We shall fight in the fields and in the streets.
We shall fight in the hills.
We shall never surrender.
But England rises from this latest outrage,
led by Winston Churchill, our prime minister, himself.
You think Churchill's right that there'll always be an England?
Count on it. But the Nazis are destroying it one night at a time.
I mean, how much more can they take?
If America doesn't get into this war, there may not be an England.
Well, some places don't know how to die.
When London was decimated by the bubonic plague, nobody thought the city would ever recover.
Smell of death was everywhere.
Six years later, again the city was thriving.
You have a gift...
aside from the ones I already know about.
The way you make the past just come alive.
Thank you. No. No. I... I'm serious.
You should use it to teach, to write,
to recreate the worlds as you see them.
That is after you're retired from the spy business.
I'm not a spy.
I just meant you have a gift. That's all.
The point is nobody thought the city would ever recover, but it did. It has.
Where does all this admiration for the English come from?
I thought you Scots hated the English.
Well, courage is a hard thing to deny.
They rebuilt the city after the great fire. They'll do the same thing after Hitler.
And us? What happens to us after Hitler?
Us?
I guess I'll teach history, and you can...
go back to your desk job and teach those young fellows about a journalist's life.
Come on.
I'm serious.
Are we together because the world is full of adrenaline,
or is there something else, something more than that?
That's good, but it's not exactly an answer.
Diane, I... I...
To the shelters now! Come on!
We better go. Come on. I can't.
Diane, you're not on the air out here. There's no microphone. There's no reason to stay here.
On the air or not, I have to be a witness. It's my job.
Diane, let's go to the shelter.
Are you planning on dragging me there?
No, I'm planning on asking you. Please.
Please, come on. This way! This way!
Hurry! Come on! Let's move along there!
You're so stubborn. Come on.
No. Don't you mean independent?
I'm coming!
Be careful... That is an expensive hat. Come on.
Give it to me!
If it hadn't been for me, you'd probably be on the roof of the Savoy right now.
Don't worry about it.
That's probably where the bombs hit.
No!
What?
Gas.
Now?
Yeah.
Oh, sweetheart, don't do this. Oh, sweetheart, don't do this now.
You'll be... You'll be okay.
- That's my line.
How-How early are you? Eight weeks.
This can't be happening.
Oh, trust me, hon. I've had four of my own,
and you don't always get to count on the time and the place.
What's your name?
Karen. Karen?
How do you feel about natural childbirth, Karen?
Well, I think the more important question is how does she feel about it?
This isn't how I pictured it.
Yeah. She'll be okay. Mm-hmm.
Oh, God!
Okay.
This is, uh, Charlie. We need the keys to open...
Excuse me. Excuse me. Can I get a hand with him?
What is this? I thought I told you you couldn't go down there.
I just saved that boy's life.
Where you going now? I'm going back down.
Like hell you are. Jimmy, get over here.
Okay. Okay, they're starting to come closer, so you, uh...
you lie back. Lie back. Lie back. Yeah. Okay. Okay.
No! No! No, no, Anne! Anne.
I'm not having the baby here! No. No.
You're not going anywhere, because the baby's coming.
You're gonna stay here. We're gonna start your breathing.
Okay. Okay, start your breathing.
No.
Well, yeah... I mean, no. Not exactly.
We got a good idea, but it's a mess down there. Everything's...
I, uh... I've been down there, man.
I know where they are. I can lead you to 'em.
You don't have to waste time searching.
Come on. These are my friends we're talking about.
Put it on.
Here. You're gonna need this. Thanks.
- Good luck. - I won't let you down.
God, I hope not.
Yeah. Anne?
Did you hear that?
You heard something?
Anne! Oh, did you hear that?
Is it real?
Anne!
God, there must be three stories of debris on us.
I have... I have to keep diggin'.
Forget it. Someone will dig us out in the morning.
No, the morning's gonna be too late.
If we keep diggin', maybe we can get an air pocket.
What's the use? Good, solid British construction.
You know, the worst thing about this is all those bozos who said...
I was going to get myself killed are going to be laughing at this.
I'm not laughing.
Damn.
It's gonna be okay.
Whatever evidence you may think that you have seen to the contrary,
I really don't wanna die.
You're supposed to say something like, "Buck up. We're not going to die."
We're not.
Anne!
Duncan.
Come on, babe. Answer me.
Anne? Duncan!
You in there?
Duncan, we're over here! Hold on! I'm coming!
Hold on! Hang on! Hurry, Duncan! Hurry!
Hang on!
Duncan! We're here!
-Is she all right? - She's fine.
What's wrong? Oh, Duncan! The baby.
The kid... Duncan, the baby... the baby's coming.
You sure? Yes.
Keep breathing. Keep breathing. Keep breathing.
Ah! Oh, Duncan.
You know, I fantasized about us dying together,
growing old, raising some grandchildren,
spending some time on the front porch in rocking chairs.
This... This isn't what I had in mind.
How did we skip to... to grandchildren so fast?
No, you're right.
First come the kids. I... I figure maybe half a dozen of them.
You can't even fantasize in moderation, can you?
Why? You don't like kids?
No, I like kids.
Wouldn't you wanna have some someday?
Someday.
You know, this conversation isn't making me feel any better.
I'm scared, Duncan.
Me too.
You know, I've really done a lot of crazy things in my life, but I...
I always thought I'd be okay.
I've never been this close to death.
Have you?
Yeah.
When I was little,
I got this doll in the mail for my birthday.
She instantly became my favorite doll.
I thought I was your favorite.
That's now. We're discussing then.
I guess... I loved her so much,
because I got her from an aunt in Colorado that...
I never met, and I still haven't.
I guess she was sort of the embodiment of...
all my dreams.
Getting to Colorado,
becoming a real woman,
with my own cot,
finding Mr. Right,
even though...
I always thought his name was gonna be George.
What'd he look like?
I think he would've looked exactly like you.
I'm scared.
I guess none of this would be important...
if it wasn't our last day on earth.
It's important to me.
I'm really afraid.
Um... But I don't have any regrets for anything I've done,
only about...
what I haven't done,
and what it would've been like for us to spend our lives together.
At least we get to die together.
How am I doin'?
Good. You're doing very good. It won't be long.
You're doing good. Are you always this cheerful?
Sure, when someone else is having the baby.
Breathe. Okay. I'll breathe.
Yes.
I always thought there'd be more time.
More dancing, beaches,
exotic hotel rooms...
Oh, Duncan.
This is before the grandchildren?
There's this place...
my aunt wrote me about.
I always meant to go.
Gothic, in Colorado.
The wildflower capital of America.
It's meant to be beautiful. Oh, it is.
It is beautiful. You've been there?
There are only two ways in.
You can take the back...
through the pass from Aspen...
or take the river, the Meanders.
Because it me... meanders?
All over the place.
It's okay. Come on.
You said you've done this before?
- Well, I've had 'em. I've never caught one. - Ohh, great.
I'll do it. No! Don't, please... please, stay here.
Hold me. Hold me.
Come on. Come on. Push, please. Okay. No.
Push! Now! Push.
No, I can't anymore. You can do it. You can.
- Duncan, I can't do it... - Push. Push.
Please.
I can't anymore. You can do it.
Come on. Come on.
In the late spring, when the snow is all gone,
the fields are bursting with color.
You walk along this pass...
You're listening to the nuthatches and the magpies,
when suddenly,
you see this indelible...
splash of color rising from the prairies.
It's the flowers though.
The flowers stay with you forever.
You're not making this up, are you?
Doesn't matter.
Come on! She's coming! The baby's coming!
Breathe. Push. Push.
Please, Anne. The baby's coming.
Push. Push. Push. Come on.
Push.
Yes! Yes!
Oh, yes! Come on, Anne. You can do it. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
In the summer,
when it's backlit by the falling sun,
it looks like a giant cathedral,
glowing in the sky.
It's beautiful.
At night,
it's always...
very quiet.
Oh, yes! Don't know where
Don't know when Oh. Oh, she's beautiful!
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day She's beautiful.
Keep smiling through
Just like you Let me see. Let me see.
Till the blue skies Hello?
Drive the dark clouds
Far away Hello?
Hello?
No, nothing, Rod. Move on.
Hey!
Are you okay?
You're a lucky bugger. We didn't think we'd find anyone alive down here,
what, with all this gas.
Hang on, mate. We'll have you out in a minute.
Mac! Richie?
Mac, is that you? Yeah, over here, Richie.
Mac! You okay?
You guys all right? Yeah, we're fine.
Three of you down there? Yeah, three.
Four. Four!
Get you guys out of there in a second.
We need a stretcher down here now.
Roger. Stand by...
You okay? Yeah.
Can we get a hand with this woman, please? Thanks. You guys all right?
Richie, we need a blanket... fast. She needs help.
Oh. Man! Um, yeah. I, uh... Yeah. Quick.
I'll get some blankets. I'll be right back. Hurry.
Please, hurry. Okay.
I've, uh... I've already picked a name for her.
Well, I hope it's a simple one. Kids like simple names. Yeah.
Mary. I'm gonna call her Mary.
Really?
You don't like it? No, I do.
It was my mother's name.
Yeah, I know.
I asked Joe.
Guess what, Anne? Mac picked all the colors himself.
That's right. I did. I picked all the colors.
Oh. Well, I think you did a terrific job. I really do. You do?
- You do? - Told you.
-That's what I meant about, uh... - Colors.
The colors.
I'll see you guys in a second.
It's beautiful.
Well, I thought it was a great place to raise a family.
It's yours.
Mine?
Oh! Oh, Duncan, that's an incredible gesture...
Anne, it's okay. I'll put it in Mary's name.
For Mary?
And you.
Anne, look.
Put it in both your names. I wanted you and Mary to have it,
because, well, you've got a lot to think about now,
and I just didn't want you to worry about anything.
Anne,
I just wanted you to have a part of...
me.
I don't know what to say.
Say yes.
Yes.
Thank you.
Thanks. Thank you.
That was a hell of a gesture, Mac, givin' her the house.
I used to think a dozen roses was a nice gift.
Or a sweater. Maybe even an ankle bracelet.
You think she liked it? Oh, are you kidding?
She's gonna be pinching herself for three days just to make sure she's not dreaming.
I mean, how often does somebody get handed a five-bedroom,
4,000-square-foot, custom-designed home?
For a minute, I didn't think she was gonna take it. Not a chance.
As soon as you lifted those keys, I knew it was gone.
I wanna ask you somethin'.
You wanna know why?
You're thinking of moving in someday.
No.
We were over a long time ago.
I'm pregnant.
Have you told the father?
Yes, I have.
But, um, he...
he... he's an old friend, and it just... happened.
- It was after you were gone... - Anne, you don't have to explain.
This is not your child. You have absolutely no obligation.
I know that, but I have an opportunity.
Are you... Are you telling me this, or are you trying to convince yourself?
Hey, I'm still trying to get used to it.
After 400 years, it's the last thing I expected to have.
Do you want a child?
Yes.
Daimler, no!
- No! - Anne!
It's all right. Oh, Duncan, the baby!
He killed Bernard. He would've killed you. I understand.
I can't live my life like this, Duncan.
I thought I could, but I can't.
Duncan, I'm a doctor.
I save lives. I don't take them. I can't start wanting to take them.
Duncan.
Yeah, but it doesn't make sense. I mean, you worked on that place for months.
You gotta have a personal relationship with every single nail in there.
Richie, did you see the look on her face after I gave her the keys?
Sure. She was glowing.
That's the reason... for that one moment.
Just to see the look on her face.
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
I have no rival
No man can be my equal
Take me to the future of your world
