Highlander: The Series · Season 4
I'm, uh, Adam Pierson.
Where are you from?
Umm...
Your accent. Your not from here.
No, I've traveled a lot.
Really?!?! Paris?
Paris is too full of Parisians. Even the French don't like Paris.
Venice?
Venice, the smell alone would kill you.
A little young to be so cynical, aren't you?
Well, if you say so.
I just did. (leaves)
What did I say?
Ah, forget it, Alexa's not your type, OK?
[Discussing Claudia]
How long have you known her?
Since she was 14. She was living with a foster family. Pretty poor, and intimidated that they had a prodigy in their midst.
And does she know...
That she's one of us? Doesn't have a clue.
[Walter has been trying to kill her]
You're completely insane!
It makes so much sense, MacLeod! Don't read something diabolical into it.
Immortality is not a game of tag. You can't say "you're it!" or "you're it!". It's not for us to decide when a mortal life is over.
But I must. If she doesn't die, now, at the pinnacle of her genius, it could be lost forever.
You don't know that!
Ooh, Shakespeare. I found my purpose, MacLeod. Imagine, Claudia Jardine's talent living on through the ages... under my loving guidance.
Walter, get a life!
Don't you see, she'll thank me. She will always be young, and beautiful, and passionate...
...and what happens when her fans see that she's not getting any older?
Well... either you like to drink or you're crazy about the blues.
No, I was waiting for you... I see I leave you speechless, this is an excellent start.
A start to what?
To... Dinner, a film, a concert, a smile, a sunset, a walk, all of the above, whatever you would like...
Do women really fall for that line?
I have no idea, I've never used it before.
.... Why do you want to go out with me?
Because the alternative is unthinkable.
I'm dying. You see, don't you? We can't go out tomorrow.
Absolutely. We'd better make it tonight.
Where's Alexa? We have a date.
She called in sick.
Where does she live?
Adam, she doesn't want to see you, OK? Just leave her alone.
Joe, I didn't ask for your opinion. I know she's dying, OK. You are all dying. 20 years, 6 months, what's the difference?
She's protecting herself. She's protecting you, don't you get it?
Yes, I get it! Now tell me where she lives.
Amanda, you've lived for over a thousand years, how many times have you seen real magic?
MacLeod, I was an illiterate thief starving on the street before Rebecca found me and made me her student. This is all I have left of her. Magic or not, no-one's gonna take this from me!
There is no way Methos sent those men, not a chance!
Why not? It's perfect. It's wily, it's devious, it's... just like him.
Why are you doing this? You've lived this long without it, why do you need it now?
Alexa... she's in hospital in Geneva, she doesn't have long.
You knew it had to be this way.
Yeah, from the first moment I saw her. Is, is that supposed to make it easier? Is that supposed to make it OK?
You understand nothing. Three weeks ago, we were standing on a beach on Santorini, watching the sun rise on the Mediterranean. Now she is lying in a hospital in Switzerland breathing through a tube! ... You think it takes courage to do what we do? Face another Immortal with a sword, knowing only one of you will live? You try being her! You try living one year, knowing that your time is running out. Knowing that when it comes to the final fight, however much you train, whatever tricks you have, you still lose! That's the way it is for them. So little time for them to see anything or do anything.
My flight back to Geneva leaves at 10. She'll never know how close I came.
She'll know how much you love her.
As much as I can for as long as she lives.
[At the circus]
How can you not be excited, MacLeod? Just the smell of sawdust, popcorn and cotton candy. This makes me feel like a kid! Oh, isn't it exciting! I mean the sights, the sounds, the carnies!
The wonderful smell of wet fur. Low pay, rotten hours, sleeping in trucks.
Sorry, no more autographs, I've got a monster headache.
I don't want an autograph, and that's not a headache. We need to talk about who you are.
(laughs) Like the poster says, I'm The Immortal Cimoli!
Ah, the Immortal Cimoli!
He's got that part figured out.
Listen to me. That headache that you got, all of us get it. It's how we know another one of us is around.
Ah... look, Mister, I don't know what you're talking about...
... you died recently, a robbery or an accident or something? But you didn't stay dead, did you?
How did you know?
Because it happened to me. Four hundred years ago.
We should talk.
Ever since the truck hit me, I've thought, this can't last, one day it's going to end, bang, I won't get up. But if it lasts forever, I can do any trick. Anything, and I wont die! I'll be bigger than Houdini.
Sit down. Sit down! This isn't some trick for some magic act!
[They are in bed together]
MacLeod, you awake? What are you thinking about?
Umm, Danny.
Must be losing my touch.
No, you're not losing your touch!
[They snuggle]
What are you thinking about?
Moscow.
I must be losing my touch.
