Highlander (1992–1998): Season 4, Episode 14 - Deliverance - full transcript

Duncan, still under the influence of the Dark Quickening, arrives in France. In flashback to 1917 France, Duncan is an ambulance driver and his Immortal friend Sean Burns psychoanalyzes the mental victims. In present day, Methos and Sean Burns try to get through to Duncan.

Listen up.
Smith.

Harris.
Yeah.

Johnson.
Right here.

Frackberg.
Yeah.

Lonnie.
Where's my gear, Davis?

Take it.
Get the hell off my ship.

You're forgettin' somethin'.
My pay.

Your pay's been docked
for the damage and the trouble
you've caused on this trip.

You owe me.
You've got
no friends here, MacLeod.

Now get the hell off
before someone gets hurt.

Get movin'!
It's too late for that.



You think this is over, Davis?

I'm not finished with you yet.

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

Sean Burns.

Hello?

Hello? Who is this?

Sean. It's Duncan.

Duncan? For the love of God.
Are you in town?

You called me at a lousy time.
I'm due in Paris tomorrow.

I have a damn conference
to attend.

Sean?

This way.

Easy with him.
Easy.

It'll be all right, Henri.

You're in good hands.

Duncan, Duncan over here.

Thanks.
Get away! Get away!

Back!

Back, all of you!
You filthy German pigs!

I'll kill this one too,
so help me God,
and he won't be the first!

Easy, son.
Put the knife down.
No one wants to hurt you.

No. I'm going to kill him!

Move away.
Do as he says.

Put the knife down.
You don't wanna hurt anyone.

No.
I'm going to kill him.

I've killed others.
So many others.

I'm glad you're here.
The boy snapped.

- Hello, Antoine.
- Stay back!

Why should I stay back?

Antoine, we're late.

You know how angry Mama gets
if dinner gets cold.

Father?

It's me.
How are you, son?

But where's the front?

I told you,
if you needed me, I'll come.

I remember when you went to war,
how brave you looked
in your uniform.

No one was braver.
We were so proud, Antoine.

But the battle is over.
You can stop fighting now.

But the guns--

The guns won't stop.

They can't hurt you.

Remember the time
near the bridge?

We were fishing.
Remember the thunder, Antoine?

Remember the rhyme
we made up?

Who's afraid of thunder?

It's just a lot of noise.

Now, listen, Antoine.
You hear that?

It's stopped.
It's quiet now.

It's time to come home, son.

Duncan,
is everything all right?

No.

- It can wait.
- Like hell. Where are you?

I'll come to you tomorrow.

There's something I have
to take care of first.

I'll be here.

Well, well, Davis.
I told you it was time to pay,
didn't I? What do we got here?

Uh-- Oh.
She's nice.

Is this wifey?

Well, we'll just have to see,
won't we?

He's still in La Havre.

Stay on his tail
and let me know where he goes.

And stay the hell
out of his way.

He's dangerous.
No problem.

- Hello. Mrs. Davis?
- Yes?

Um, my name is Duncan MacLeod.
Your husband sent me.

Is something wrong?
Uh, no.

There was just
a little problem on the ship.

He asked me to
bring his bag home for him.

- He said he probably wouldn't
be home till very late.
- What kind of problem?

Something with
one of the men.

Oh.
I'm sorry.

I-I picked these up on the way.

I thought you might like 'em.

Thank you.

I know what it's like
to be disappointed, so--

That's very thoughtful.

Well, uh, I guess
I'd better be going.

No, please, come in.
Come in.

No, I couldn't. I--
Come in.

Yes. Come out of the cold.
Come.

Can I get you something?

A drink?

Maybe something to eat?
Oh, that's not necessary.

You have come all this way
to drop off Robert's things.

Why don't you just
stay for dinner?

If Robert were here,
I'm sure he'd insist.

Okay, I'd like that very much.
I haven't had
a home-cooked meal in weeks.

Well, could I wash up
a little bit first?
Of course.

It's just to your right,
Mr. Duncan.
Uh, Mr. McClaren.

- MacLeod.

Mr. MacLeod.

Through here?
You can call me Duncan.

Duncan.

To the right? Okay.
Right. There.

Hi.

This sure is good.

I haven't laughed
like this in months.

More wine?
No.

Maybe a little.

He's away a lot,
isn't he?

Yes.

- I have to go.
- No. Why?

- I can't do this.
- What?

Your husband's a fool.

There was no trouble
on the ship. He asked me
to come here to lie to you.

Why?

I saw him go off
with somebody else.

- No.
- I saw them.

I'm sorry.

Are you sure?

Dominique, Robert told me
to come here tonight...

to tell you that you'd be
spending the night alone.

Oh.
More wine?

Yes.

You were pretty good.

I think I'll
come back tonight.

Well.

Eeney, meeney, miney, moe.

Thanks, Davis.

Fits like a glove.

Hmm. Could do
one of these too.

Go, please. Go.
I shouldn't have done this.

Oh, I think
we should do this again.

Dominique!
Please, the back stairs.

You must leave.
Not yet.
In here, Robert.

No, please, don't!

Don't!
Dominique!

Robert, you're just in time.
Take a chair and watch.
No!

- That's my wife.
- I told you it wasn't over.

Get out! Get out,
or I swear I'll kill you!

Leaving's no problem.

But killing me,
that's not as easy as it looks.

Oh, it's time to play.

Let him go!

Well, well, Dominique.

What are we gonna do now?

Shoot him!

Please, don't.

Stay back.

You know what it's like
to kill, Dominique?

To watch the eyes cloud over
and see the life leaking away?

To feel the skin grow cold?

And at night,

the nightmares come,
wearing the face
of the one you killed.

Is that what you want?

Bastard!

Come back here!
I'll kill you!

- Get in!
- I'll kill you, you bastard!

What do you want,
a written invitation?

Come back here!

Good morning.

Feeling any better?

What do you think?

I think maybe
you got what you deserved.

You and your Watcher friends.

Dawson's becoming
a real pain in the ass.

- Yes, well, I'll pass that
along the line.
- You do that!

MacLeod, you need help.

I don't need your help,
my son.

Have you tried looking
in a mirror recently?

Yes, and I like what I saw.

Duncan, I know what happened.

First, Coltec.
Now, you.

This is a Dark Quickening.
This is not who you are.

No? Then maybe
it's who I should be.

What you see is what you get.

You can fight this.

I can help you if you let me.
Yeah, and why
would you wanna do that?

Because of who you are.

You're too important to lose!

I'm not lost.

MacLeod...

this could be
your last chance to be saved.

There's just one problem.

I don't wanna be saved.

You can't do this.
No?

This is holy ground!
Whatever evil is inside you,

you cannot do this.

Yes!
Oh, yes.

Look at that.
I want this car!

-Hey, lover boy.
I want this car.

- You wish.
- But I want it.

It's a fine piece
of German engineering.

It's my favorite color-- red!

And it's got
all the modern accessories.

I take.

-Leave her alone!
- Easy, baby. Easy.
I won't hurt you.

No!
Get off!

Now, why don't you
come with me?

Leave me alone!
Okay.

Pity.

MacLeod, what are you doing?

Hope you're insured.

Joe, he's worse than I thought.

Maybe you should just stay away.
He will kill you if he can.

I'm tougher than I look.

Adam.
How are you?

What brings you to Le Havre?
I've gotta find
Duncan MacLeod.

Claude, I know
this is irregular.

I'm trying to find out
where he might be going.
What do you care?

You're a researcher
working on the Methos chronicle.

You're not supposed
to be in the field.
Dawson sent me.

It-It's a special case
with MacLeod.

It's a Dark Quickening.
We can't let him
out of our sight.

He called Sean Burns.
He might go there.

Duncan, how are you?

It's been too long.

I called Paris,
canceled all my appointments
until further notice.

Appointments I can always get.
Good friends are
a little harder to come by.

You look like hell.

What is it?

Maybe this isn't a good idea.
Duncan,

if there's a problem,
whatever it is I'm here.

I know.

It's beautiful here.

You could almost forget
the war.

Except for the poor devils
I'm getting.

They're calling it
"the war to end all wars."

Do you believe that?

Wish I could.

Too many wars.

Too many broken bodies.

Shattered minds.

That boy, Antoine,
you got inside his head.

How did you know
what he wanted to hear?

Partly common sense,
partly Sigmund Freud.

Psychoanalysis--
trying to understand
how the mind works?

And heal it.
Well, I know the body heals,

but to heal the mind,
to heal the damage inside,
you think that's possible?

Sigmund Freud does.

Brilliant mind,
disgusting cigars.

You're doing
good work here, Sean.

You could stay on.
I could use the help.

No.

The guns keep firing.

The bodies keep falling.

But I'll remember this place--
the peace.

Something to hold on to.

It doesn't take a psychoanalyst
to see that
something's bothering you.

Psychotherapy?

Can it work for Immortals?

I suppose.
But we're so much
more complex than mortals.

Upon our page,
so much more is written.

But our core is similar.
We're formed by
the same experiences.

But they don't kill
to survive.

No, they don't.

And what about Quickenings?

If we had... one too many--

Could the evil
overwhelm the good?

I spent years thinking about it.
The truth is...

I don't know.

I do.

I see.

And when it happens...

which one is real,

the Immortal you are
or the one you've become?

I could fight you, Duncan,
but you're better.

I know it, and so do you.

But you're here because
you want me to help you.

Now, I can't do that
without my head.

That's too bad.

MacLeod, no!
Don't do it!

You can't interfere!

Now, Duncan,
it's not too late.

What you were, what you love,
it's still waiting for you.

There's nothing
waiting for me.

- Don't do this, MacLeod.
-Those aren't
your memories, Duncan.

The hate doesn't belong to you.
The voices aren't yours.

Don't listen to them.

You're lost in there,
but I can help you.

I can lead you back.

Your core is still good.

You are still Duncan MacLeod
of the Clan MacLeod.

Now, come.

Not anymore.

No!

Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe I can't save you.

I've known a lot of us
in 5,000 years, MacLeod.

Of them all,
you were the best I'd seen.

I still am.

No, you're not.

And I think
I have to kill you.

Then I hope you like
what you see.

Because you kill me,
you become me.

You become what I am.
Maybe not.

Maybe there's more room
inside me.

You'll kill, Methos.
You'll do exactly
what I did.

You'll kill a friend,
a lover.

You will go mad.

Do you know what evil is?

Dark, soulless evil.

Imagine it.
Live it!

- You're deluded.
- What you see is what you get.

I hope your sword
is ready for me.

- Well, we'll see.

Go ahead.
Take my head.

Kill me.

Go on.

Fool!

I'm too old for this.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing. Nothing.

Nothing! Nothing!

Nothing! Nothing!

Nothing! Nothing!

Nothing! Nothing!

Nothing.

Are you all right?

Duncan?

Are you sure you're all right?

They're all so young.

They always are.
But look at them.

Duncan, you didn't take away
that man's eyes,
or his legs.

You're spending the war
trying to save them.

I'm doin' a great job,
aren't I?

Is that Scottish guilt I sense?

What, are we going back
to my childhood again?
Is it Jung or Freud this time?

It's Sean Burns.

You were brought up...

to lead and protect a clan.

You feel guilt
because you're whole--

because you'll survive.

I always survive.

I'll send you the bill.

How do I stop it?

Duncan...

it's not an illness.

It's... who you are,
who you'll always be.

It's something I admire.

Terence?

What have I become?

Everything I was is gone!

People I loved,
things I cared about--

I killed a friend.

I can't exist like this.

Help me.

If you can't help me,

stop me.

I was hoping
I'd find you here.
Leave me alone.

With God,
or with your demons?

Look at me.

See me as I am,
not as I was.

Or as you want me to be.

I will kill you.
You might.

I don't want to.

And that is your salvation.
There is no salvation
for me!

Why?
Because you're alone?

Because it's just you
against all that evil?

You're not alone,
not out here.

And not in there.

Why are you
in a church, MacLeod?
Why did you come?

Because Sean Burns
is with you.

His goodness...
is a part of you.

Feel him.

Take his strength and yours
and come with me.

It might be better
if I kept that.

Right. We're here.

There's a...
holy spring here.

It's been lost since
the seventh century.

Nobody seems
to know about it.

There are indeed those
who say it's magic.

- I can't do this.
- Fight it.

Fight it like you have fought
every other evil thing
in your life,

'cause that is what
you're up against.

Remember who you are.
Remember this.

It belongs in your hand.

Take it.

Take it.

Take it, I say!

Here's Duncan!

Yes, it's me.

But this time,

I'm here to stay.

Oh, that must hurt.

Give up.
We're one. Inseparable.

You can't kill
what you've become.

Give up, Dunkie.

Thank you.

Ahh.
Blood on there again.

Sean.

I'm sorry.

For what?
It wasn't you
who killed me.

Fight him, MacLeod.
Defeat him.
I can't!

There is more that is noble
in you than there is evil
in all those you've destroyed.

Summon all you are,
all you've been,

all who've loved you.

Come on, Dunkie.
You know you've already lost.

Kill me, you kill yourself.

It'll be
the end of everything.

Just you.
Just you.

Ah, suit yourself.

You can't drive me out.
I know your thoughts.

Then you know who I am.

You're nothing.

No! I am Duncan MacLeod
of the Clan MacLeod.

MacLeod?

It's over.

Then I think
this is yours.

Yeah. Yeah.

Here.

I'm warning you.
I trashed the place.

The place is a mess.

I haven't been myself lately.

You know,
I hadn't noticed.

Rachel?

I hope you don't mind.
I was just picking up

Uh, no.

What are you doing here?

A friend said you were
in trouble and that
you needed a sword.

So I gave it to him.
He's a convincing lad.

He's a persistent one too.

And then I started thinking,
when I was in danger...

and the MacLeod Clan
needed you,

you helped us.

I thought it was my turn.

You are in trouble,
aren't you?

Uh, not anymore.

I guess I can go then.
Well, n-n-- You--

Or I can stay, if you like.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Listen, I'd love to stay
and chat, but I've left
Alexa in Athens.

Just leaving.
Yeah. Thanks.

You kids be good.

Um, Adam?
Um, look.

Look, um--
Hey.

It's no big deal.

Good friend you have there.

Yeah, one of the best.

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
Yeah!

I have no rival

No man can be my equal

Take me to the future
of your world
