I always thought that you were a man that respected the law.
I like to see justice done.
“Under Color of Authority” · Season 2, Episode 12
In this episode: Duncan MacLeod (6), Mako (4), Richie Ryan (1)
A man can't always live by the law.
A man cannot live any other way.
I have been a lawman for almost 600 years. Even before I was Immortal. I have seen cities burned, I have seen children slaughtered. Law is what separates us from the beast. When we leave it, we leave a hole with no bottom.
LLaura
You don't exactly trust me, much, now do you?
I don't know you.
LLaura
So you don't believe me.
No, I believe that you're frightened, and I believe that you're running from something. I'm just not sure what.
When you're young and you care about someone, you think with your heart. You don't see clearly.
LLaura
I don't know why you're so worried about Richie. I mean, you act like you're his father or something.
I'm not his father, Laura, but he is like family to me.
I'm looking for a girl.
Try working on your personality.
Richie, where is this going from here? What happens if you are out on the road and a cop recognizes her? What are you going to do, kill him? How far is this going to go, Richie?
I don't know, Mac, I don't know! All I know is, I gotta help her, Mac. Mac, she needs me.
