It's morning. I'm tired. It's hopeless. We'll never find him. Our only lead back to Kalas and you had to kill him.
I told you, I didn't kill him. He fell.
On his gun?
Yes!
And it went off just like that.
Just like that.

It's morning. I'm tired. It's hopeless. We'll never find him. Our only lead back to Kalas and you had to kill him.
I told you, I didn't kill him. He fell.
On his gun?
Yes!
And it went off just like that.
Just like that.
Well. Life as we know it is over.
Remember when Gustave Eiffel built this thing?
World's Fair, 1889. Half the people thought it would ruin Paris forever. There were fist-fights all along the Champs Elysees.
Now you can't imagine Paris without it.
I've got a lot to offer. Five thousand years of history, Joe...I was there.
History's been written. People have been known to kill the messenger who waltzes in with a new version of the truth.
Why would I tell the truth?
C'mon, MacLeod... Haven't you ever wanted to do something really crazy?
Amanda, be careful. We don't fly.
Have you ever tried? Relax. Whatever happens, I'll survive.
MacLeod. It seems you're always a day late and a dollar short.
You should have killed him. You had him... I can't believe you let him go!
It's not that simple, Amanda...
I'll tell you what's simple. Dead is simple.
I was in Rome once. 93 A.D., the Coliseum... I saw Christians facing the lions. Some of them looked almost happy to die for their faith.
Your point? Or are you just strolling down Memory Lane here?
But afterwards, the only ones looking happy were the lions
This isn't about faith.
No, it's about sacrifice. It's a helluva thing to be a martyr, MacLeod... And that's exactly what Kalas wants. He's pushing all your buttons.
Well, I'm open to suggestions. Enlighten me.
Maybe Amanda's right. You fight your best fight.
[sarcastic] What? Every man for himself and to hell with the rest?
So what if the world finds out? Life's about change. Civilizations rise and fall.
This isn't about civilization, this is about people! Amanda, Dawson, Richie... Our world isn't an ant farm.
[with a touch of admiration and humor] The passion of youth.
[with a sense of humor] Boys will be boys.
And every cloud has a silver lining.
What do you mean?
If you die, Amanda will be free to date.
That's a comfort.
[At his parents' graves]
I'm Rachel MacLeod, and those are my ancestors you're standing on.
Well, mine too, I'm Duncan MacLeod.
Another one. Let me guess, you're here to find you Highland roots.
I didn't know I'd lost them.
Och, if it isn't the clansman. What can I get you? Haggis? Maybe a kilt?
An ale would do just fine. Are the people of Glenfinnan always this friendly?
We're friendly enough, just careful of strangers.
Really. And since when is a MacLeod a stranger in Glenfinnan?
All this for an ax?!
An ax? An ax made by the Gods, MacLeod. Used by Loki and Thor themselves.
You can't still believe that.
As much as they believe in their pale Christ.
[At night. Duncan takes his father's sword down from the wall]
He came back from the dead, claimed his father's sword, killed the Viking, and stopped the slaughter.
That's the legend, Rachel.
The bracelet. Now this. If I asked you to explain, would it make any sense?
[Duncan is silent]
Duncan MacLeod.... maybe some legends are true.
Maybe.
[Rachel is waiting when he returns the sword]
It's over.
I knew you'd be back. The legend. That seems to belong in your hand.
No, it belongs in Glenfinnan. This is it's home.
[She kisses him]
Your's too, Duncan MacLeod.
Anne, you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Is the baby OK?
Yeah, the baby's... learning to tap-dance I think.
Somebody told me that there was an emergency.
Well, yeah, it's your cousin. (Duncan looks blank) The one from Wisconsin.
Kenny's here?
Yeah, he's in the chapel. I was gonna call security, but I thought, what am I gonna tell them, I've got this kid who could live forever but he's only safe in churches?
[Duncan walks through a minefield]
When you think of me, when you, you know, if you ever had to describe me to someone else, would you think of me as a nurturing person?
(long pause) Definitely. Is that it?
No! I want you to be honest, OK?
How honest?
Honest. I mean, tell me the truth, don't think about hurting my feelings.
OK, then, no. Nurturing is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of you.
Oh, I don't think you know me very well.
Amanda, you're beautiful, you're smart, and you're a lot of fun. Nurturing's in there... it's just not high on the list.
Well, do you think that I would have made a good mother?
Absolutely.
Really? I mean, because I could take it if you don't think that, you know, I have it in me.
You would have made a wonderful mother.
Really?
