Highlander: The Raven (1998–1999): Season 1, Episode 14 - The Rogue - full transcript

How long do we have
to wait out here?

Just wait a minute.

In my work,
being seen and being heard
is number one.

Debra!
Clear!

Debra--
Next time, stay out
of my damn light.

Excuse me?
I told you--

right side for camera,
left side for security.

You guys rookies or what?

Hey, who feels like pizza?

Am I talking to you?

You know,
you would feel a lot better
if you had something to eat.



I might feel better
if the people protecting me
weren't retarded.

Look, Debra,
we're your bodyguards.

If we got in your way,
we're just doing our jobs.

No, your job...
is to remain invisible.

Our job is to keep you alive.

Hey, if you're that unhappy,
take it up with Myers.

- Oh, I'll do that.
- Miss Dow, no windows.

- I want her out of here!
-Fine.

Now, step back.
Consider her gone.

She is immortal.

A thousand years old
and she cannot die.

A creature of legend...

like the raven,

a thief who stole the sun
and the moon.



They sent a warrior
to bring her back.

He found her.

Together, they brought back
light to the world.

I was a cop.

To me she was just a thief,

another day on the job.

But she wasn't--
She changed my life,
changed everything.

And both of us knew
from that moment on,

nothing would ever be
the same.

Cops found a 7. 5mm shell casing
on the roof across the street.

Sounds like an
FR-F2 to me.
Sniper's dream.

2800 feet per second.
Professional hit.

Wanna bet
they bored out the muzzle?

So ballistics
come up with squat.
Exactly.

Ah! Watch it, Popeye.
Myers, could I please
talk to you?

What's it now, Amanda?
I think we should have them use
the service elevator next time.

Not today.
I'm not in the mood,
all right?

Darling, they're
scuffing my floors.
I'm really sorry. Really.

What is wrong with you?
You act like someone died.

Congratulations.
I'm sorry.

Rachael and Nestor
were guarding Debra Dow.

Somebody's trying to kill her.
Debra Dow, the actress.
Is she okay?

They killed Jim Nestor instead.

I still have to be in
Washington in three days' time.
I'm on it.

Just stick to her
like glue, will ya?

Debra Dow, you know,
she's the ultimate
slasher chick.

The Terror,
uh,Deathwatch.

This could be kind of fun.
Sorry, Amanda.
I think this one's for Nick.

As in, "Amanda,
we don't need you.
Please go away"?

It's the client.
She plays a lot better
with boys than with girls.

How tragic.
All right, well, um,
have fun.

I think you hurt
her feelings.
This whole thing is my fault.

She comes to me
with this death threat.
Of course, I don't believe her.

I'm still waiting
for the part
where it's your fault.

I told Jim that
I thought it smelled
like a publicity stunt.

He gets careless,
lets his guard down--
Yeah, I won't.

If this guy's a pro,
he's not gonna stop.

What are you saying?

What I'm saying is-- Come on.
Jim was a close friend.

If you get a clean shot,
just--

Hey, how do I make this
clear to you? I'm here
to save a life, Bert.

All I mean is,
whatever it takes.

Okay?

Hey, Rachael, um,

listen, we're really sorry
about your partner.

Yeah, thanks.
Maybe I'm cursed.

Second time in four years
I've lost a partner.

I was just talking to, uh,
Jim's wife. I'm going over
to spend some time with her.

How's she doin'?
She's a mess.

Well, tell her,
anything she needs.

And tell her
we'll get the guy.

Hey, Rachael.

Look, Nick,
let's just cut to the chase.

You're gonna tell me
it's not my fault.

And there was nothing
you could've done
and that you're not to blame,

but you're probably gonna go
over all the incidences
that happened that day--

everything you did,
you said.

But that's not gonna make
any difference, is it?

Thanks for trying.

Okay, that's enough.

- You shouldn't be here.
- What?

I said,
you shouldn't be here.

Well, fine.
Your place or mine?

- It isn't safe.
- Yeah, well,
then you make it safe.

It's your job.
Mine is to be seen.

Is this that important
to you?

This ad is gonna be seen
in 70 countries.

Prime time.
Haven't had that in a while,
so you tell me.

- Is this guy bothering you?
- Oh, please. Never enough.

I need to get through.
J. C. Squires. J. C. Squires.

Hello.
Darling, let me through.
Thank you.

Squires.
Should I have heard of you?

I don't think so, darling.
I'm an agent.
Who do you represent?

Oh, everyone who's anyone.
Such as?

Never mind.
Debra, darling.

- Do I know you?
- J. C. Squires,
I. C. T. , Paris office.

I'm here to take your career
out of the toilet, dear.

Excuse me?
Look, keep your attitude
or keep your career.

This train is leaving in 30
seconds. Wait just one second.

Hello?
No, no, no, no, no.

I told you--
nothing less than a cover.

I'm sorry, but we already have
a better offer fromPeople.

Right. Good. Ciao.
Sorry about that.

Excuse us.
Uh--

Excuse me. Can I see
that card for a moment?

Sure.

Just what the hell
do you think you're doing?

I'm undercover.
Oh, really?

You asked for my help,
I'm gonna give you my help.
Oh, no.

Wait a minute.
I never asked for your help.
Exactly.

Where?

Get down!

You all right?
Stay down!

Are you okay?
I'm fine.

Do you know him?

Yeah, I killed him.

So I told him to apologize.
When he didn't,

I dumped a bowl
of chocolate mousse on his head.

You didn't!
Yes, I did.

So what happened?
The ma??tre d' bought me
a bottle of champagne.

This is good, driver.
Okay.

Okay.
Ahh.

Milady.

You owe me.
Oh, it's amazing
what a little guilt can do.

Just because you broke four
of our first eight dates.

Mm-mmm. Three.
Okay, maybe four,
but who's counting?

Obviously, I am.
Yes, obviously.

Cops and doctors
are always on call.

No beeper.

And for that--
What?

you will be rewarded.
Mmm.

- Hold that thought.
- Don't you dare!

Come on.
Take her back to the hotel.

I'll be right there, okay?
Thank you.

If you're not back
in half an hour,
I won't be there!

Okay!

I want you
to see this comin'!

Let's see who he is.

- Show me.
- He's a cop.

No.

- But he's a witness.
- He saved my life.

It's not your ass on the line.
He's a loose end.

Let me worry about that.
Just go call the cleaner.
Come on.

Go.

Oh!

- Do you smoke?
- No.

That was quite a nasty fall
you took there.

You all right?
Yeah, I'll be sure
to take care next time.

What the hell's going on?

So much for small talk, huh?

All right.

N. S. A. --
and I have a problem.

I'm very impressed.

The problem's you.

I need to know
you'll be discreet.

You mean like
nothing happened here tonight?

-
Exactly.
- Wrong.

Well, you should know that
accusations without evidence
are worthless.

- There's a body.
- Oh, really? Where?

I can identify you.

I'm having dinner with
four friends in Philadelphia
as we speak.

Don't look at me.
I wanted to kill you.

Relax, will ya?

All right, here's the deal,
Detective Wolfe.

The body you thought you saw,
it might've been
a rogue agent.

Except there's no way to be sure
because there's no record
he was ever here.

And the body--
if there was one--

would be buried
in Jersey by now anyway,

along with half the sons
of the five families, hmm?

Here.

If this becomes
part of the 6:00 news,

my friend here and I
will be, um,

reluctant witnesses against you.

After all,
we did see you kill that guy.

Maybe we'll
see each other again.

You never know.
New York's a small town.

One more thing.

What would you do
if you found a bad cop?

I wouldn't kill him.

I didn't.

Bye. Let's go.

So three months later
I'm working undercover,
and I bump into Myers,

and he actually
helps me solve the case.

Sounds like the beginning
of a beautiful relationship.
Yeah.

Brennan was immortal.
Maybe, or maybe he became one
when you killed him.

Otherwise,
he's been dead for so long,
why's he trying to kill Debra?

Maybe he wasn't.
Maybe it was Myers.

Nestor was there
that night in New York,
and now he's in the morgue.

Ah.
What happened?

Oh, he got away.
Did you get a look at his face?

Medium height, medium build,
brown hair.

Your powers of observation
are stunning.

How about his face?
Did you see it?
No, I said.

What, no face?
Well, how come
your shirt is torn?

I tripped.
What about you, Amanda?

I definitely agree with Nick.
I think his hair was brown.

That's all
you can give me?

Amanda, please.
What, do you want me
to make something up?

Hey, that's all there was.
Mmm.

Yoo-hoo! Debra,
your career's calling.

How the hell
did you get in here?
Where's my star?

Shh! She's out cold.
She took a sedative.

And you tucked her in?
That must've been
a wonderful event.

She thinks someone's
trying to kill her.
Who wouldn't, darling?

After 30 minutes, I'd be
selling tickets myself.

She's just a scared kid.
She's acting out.

She's a piranha.
She makes agents
look like Mother Teresa.

Besides, you and I both know
that no one's after her,
so let's just go.

If we leave,
Myers will get suspicious.

Now, do you wanna
be the one to tell him
about Immortals?

You got a point.
Mmm.

Okay. See you later.
Where the hell
are you going?

Someone has to watch him.
I'll do it.

Would you put the testosterone
away? There's a guy
out there who's invisible.

You're never gonna see him,
and I can sense him
a block away.

Who the hell
are you trying to protect?

I get to choose? Ciao.

Been a long time,
partner.

- Frank?
- In the flesh.

But it can't be.
What's going on?

It's not safe here.
Can we go back
to your apartment?

It's all right, Rachael.
Don't be afraid.
I'm not a ghost.

You moved. It took me
a long time to find you.

Yeah, well, it's been
four years, Frank,
and I thought you were dead.

I had to stay dead.

There was nothing else
I could do
after Myers set me up.

Myers?
He said you were killed
when the Russian deal went bad.

Of course he did.
He and a guy named Wolfe
put a bullet in me.

Nick Wolfe?
They still think I'm dead.

I came to in a shallow grave.
I could hardly breathe.

I dug my way out.
Yeah, but all this time.

I had to stay hidden.
They'd have finished the job,

maybe killed you too.

Four years,
and you couldn't
pick up a damn phone?

I was your partner, Frank.
You were more than that.

I missed you.

Yeah, well,
we certainly had our moment.

But it's not like
we were married.

I thought you'd be
pleased to see me.
I am.

It just doesn't seem possible.

Myers.
He's a damn liar.

I was making the delivery--
three million in cash.

They set me up,
shot me, took the money.

That's what went down.

Rachael, I'm alive.
Doesn't that prove he's lying?

Didn't he tell you
he saw me die?
Yes, yes, he did, but I--

How do you think he got the
money to go private-- to set up
this organization of his?

It was blood money--
myblood.

Rachael, we were together
for five years. We always
took care of each other.

How many times
did I save your life?

All right, Frank.
How can I help you?

I don't want to
be dead anymore.

Oh.
Wolfe and Myers.

No, you can't.
It's them or me.

Well, you can leave me
out of this.

Okay, Rach.

Whatever you say.

All right.
What is this?

What?
Why are you
following me around?

I don't know. I guess
we're partners now, and we don't
spend that much time together.

I figured we should
get to know each other.

Why do you think
we never spend
much time together?

I'm not sure.
I think we should talk about it.

Well, this is just a wild guess,
but I always had the feeling
you don't like me much.

You thought--

You really thought that?
Mm-hmm.

Well, then you have to buy.
Buy what?

Dinner. I'm famished.
I'm starving.
Take me to dinner.

Well, uh, it's been
a long day, and we all
have to eat, don't we?

You need your protein.

I know the best
little Franco-Japanese place.
Franco-Japanese? What's that?

Have you ever had
Franco-Japanese?
Sushi with cream sauce?

Or we could go home,
and I could order out.

Does Nick know about this?

Maybe.
Maybe not.

Look at this.

Look at Debra.
She's all over the paper.

That's exactly the publicity
we need, huh?

Stupid. Look.

Amanda?

I used to be a gum chewer
in the old days.

Part of a strategic assault
on a nicotine addiction.

Now I say,
"What the hell. "

Well, you know,

I'd stick with the gum,
because you cannot go wrong
with fresh breath.

You're a very beautiful woman.

You're a very sloppy spy.

It was easier tracking people
before I became an Immortal.

No radar.

You've been a very
naughty boy, Mr. Brennan.

Please, call me Frank.

Okay, Frank.
Why are you walking around
shooting people?

No fair.
You haven't told me
your name yet.

I prefer it that way.

Any reason you decided
to duck into this place?

Holy ground, isn't it?

Do I frighten you?

That's not the word I'd use.

Then maybe we should
take this outside.

I don't think so.
I'm new to this Immortal stuff.

I'm into guns, not swords.

Besides, my fight
isn't with you.
Not yet, anyway.

That's where you're wrong,
Frankie boy.

You go after one of my friends,
I get my feathers all ruffled.

Myers had me killed
four years ago.

I'm just out to even the score.

Why don't you
tell me about it?

We were supposed to deliver
three million dollars
to a Russian general...

in exchange
for a nuclear warhead...

that was about to be dumped
on the black market.

But you decided
to keep the money yourself.

The bastard went Boy Scout
on me.

Let me give you
a piece of advice.

You're an Immortal now.
Why don't you
drop the resentment...

and get on
with your new life?

Thanks for the tip,
but I don't think
I can do that.

Oh, sure you can.
Just hop on a flight,

come back in
another century or two,
and I'll let you live.

Otherwise, you'll have
to go through me.

- If you insist.

-Amanda, you in here?
-Hey.

Who were you talking to?

Who do you think?

I could've sworn
I heard voices.

Voices? Uh,
a choir of angels, perhaps?

Come on.

Come on.

It's okay. It's okay.

It was a nightmare.

I know what it was.
You're all right.

Oh, please don't
play shrink with me.

Someone tried to kill me.

I know. But I'm here,
and you're safe
while I'm here, okay?

Oh, and it's--
it's that simple?

- Yes, it's that simple.
- And why should I believe you?

Because it's the truth,
Debra. I promise.

You didn't see
the look in his eyes.

And then the light just--

- He was doing his job.
- But he's dead.

I know.

It's like...
there's a movie...

and it's just in my head,

and I keep seeing him
again and again.

It's okay.
It's over.

It's over.

Oh, you hate me.
I don't hate you.

Well, you're going to.

I made it up.

I know.

You know, when I was 20,

I was a star.

I did all the talk shows,
I... was on the cover
of everything.

The phone never stopped.

And now I am 30,
and I am a nobody.

Who says?
Oh, please. Everybody.

Who's everybody?
Everybody doesn't know
anything.

You know who you are.

What I know is acting.
It's--

It's who I am.

I thought being a cop
was who I was.

It wasn't.
It cost me my marriage,

my partner.

And it almost cost me my life.
But it wasn't who I was.

It's just what I did,
not who I am.

What if you don't know
who you are?

You know.

You know.

I'll be right back.
Okay.

There-- There's something
I have to know.

What are you doing here?
Did you shoot Frank Brennan?

If it's J. C. Squires,
you wanna tell her
I'll be right out?

Stay in the room.
I'll be right back.

Come here. Where is he?
You've seen him?

Answer the question, Nick.
Where is he?

You did!
You did it,
you son of a bitch!

- It's just like Frank said.
-Relax.

Would I lie to you, partner?

Thanks for leading me to him.

Frank!

I didn't know.
I-I swear.

- Don't do this, Frank!
- Good-bye, Wolfe.

Frank.

Drop the gun,
or I snap his neck!

Let's not lose our heads.

What are you gonna do, Wolfe?

- Shoot me over and over again?
-I got plenty of bullets.

- So long, Wolfe.
- No!

Oh, my God!

Go home.

Go on. Go home.
But how--

I'll call you later.

I'll be waiting.

You lied to me!

I never lied to you.
You said I was safe!

You are.
Oh, please. No, you said,
"No one will hurt you. "

"Trust me," you said!

You're not in danger.
You never were.
Oh, please.

And what does he want?
Does he want an autograph?
I have to go.

No-- Go? Go?
You're-- What about me?

No one is trying to kill you.
You know what?
You are lying.

You just don't care
and you're not gonna leave!
They were after someone else.

I have to help them.
You know what?
You're lying!

You just don't care!
You-You have to stay here!

Debra,
they're after someone else.
I have to helpthem.

No, you stay right here!
I paid good money for you!

Your money's wasted.
Yeah, well, go!
Get out! Just get out!

What the hell do you care
if I get murdered?

- Where do you think
you're goin'?
- We need to talk.

You're damn right
we need to talk.

I just convinced
the cops upstairs into
buying your ridiculous story.

So?
So, look at me.
Am I smiling?

What the hell
happened here tonight?

Why the hell
don't you believe me?

You know what, Nick?
You make me feel
like a tiny little mushroom.

You keep me in the dark
and you feed me horse manure.

That's what you do!
I told you what happened!

All right.
Just for me
to get this straight.

You heard a noise in the hall.
You opened the door
to investigate.

That's when some guy
tries to rob you,

only room service steps in,
and the thief gets away.

Is that correct?
See?
You listened.

Okay. I'm really happy
we straightened that one out.

Thanks.

Just one more thing.

What do you mean, fired?
Myers fired you?

Firedus.
We'reoff the assignment.
He can't do that.

I don't work for him.
I've never been fired
in my whole life.

That's because you've never
had a real job.

What's wrong with you?
Nothing.

Okay.
That was a really
crappy thing you pulled.

What?
Pretending to be her agent,
setting her up like that.

This is what
you're upset about?
She's upset.

Oh, look, she's an actress.
She manipulates people
for a living.

I've got other things
to worry about.

But none so entertaining
as this.
One: Myers knew I was lying.

What did she say to you?
Two: Rachael saw Brennan
go off the roof,

then get up and walk away.

How are you gonna
explain that?
How amIgonna explain that?

Hello, Rachael.

You set me up.
I had to find Wolfe.

How the hell did you
jump off a 10-story building
and walk away?

I clipped a fire escape
on my way down.
It broke my fall.

Who the hell do you think
you're talking to, Frank?

My partner.

- You shouldn't be alive.
- But I am.

And you're not even hurt.
Where are your bruises?

Take it easy, Rach.
Don't you trust me?

Frank, you were dead.
Then you weren't.

Then you were.
What the hell's going on?

They took away my life.
I want it back.

All of it.

Get out!

- You wouldn't shoot me,
partner.
- Try me, Frank.

You're just like them.

So just follow my lead.
I've done this kind
of thing before.

All right, let's hear it.
I'm not gonna know till I
get there what I'm gonna say.

That's a hell of a plan.
Look, lying is best
when it's spontaneous.

Besides, I do
some of my best work
when I'm under pressure.

You've been doing it
for 1,200 years.
You're good at it.

I need to speak to Myers.

- What are you?
- I'm an Immortal, baby.

You're not.

He's here.

Stop jerkin' me around, Nick.
Who killed Rachael?

She was dead when we got here.

What are you two guys
actually doin' here?
Why are you here?

Well, I think
we should tell him, Nick.
Tell me what?

Go ahead.
No, by all means,
you tell him.

Tell me what?
Nick has this little theory...

that the person who was
aiming at Debra and missed was
actually trying to kill Nestor.

Right. Exactly,
and I think you're next.

You gotta do better than that.

Rachael was not within
10 miles of Debra.

It doesn't make any sense.
If they're after me, why
are they killin' my people?

Huh?
I thought you were
going to Washington.

Aren't you leaving
for Washington?
Washington can wait.

What in hell is going on?
You go to Washington.
Amanda and I can handle this.

Why do I get the feeling
you guys are trying
to get rid of me?

Oh! Why would you think that?
No.

If they're coming
after your people--

They're gonna come after you.
Let 'em come.

I'm not goin' anywhere
until I finish this guy off.

I don't think we can stop him
from going after Brennan.

You might as well hang
a sign on his neck that says,
"Shoot me. "

What are we gonna do?
Stick to him like glue.

Don't let him
out of your sight.
He's not gonna like that.

He's gonna like
being dead even less.

What if, um--
What if--

How much do you trust him?

Forget it.
Look, it's a matter of time
before Brennan is gonna be back.

We can't babysit him
for a whole decade. We can't
hold his hand all the time.

We're not gonna tell him
about Brennan. We're not gonna
tell him about immortality.

It's his life.
I know.

And I like Myers.
I trust him with my life.

I just don't trust him
with yours.

Nick.

Debra,
what are you doing here?

I came to say good-bye.

Scorsese's in London.
He wants to meet with me.

I think that's terrific.
I guess there's no such thing
as bad publicity.

The thing is, uh,

the meeting's not till Monday.

Um-- I-I'm sorry.
I-I gotta go.

- It's too bad.
- My loss.

Some other time.

What? Say again.
That's impossible.

Because the guy's dead,
that's why.

Sure, keep me informed.
Yeah, thanks. Bye.

That was the detective
investigating Rachael's murder.

They found a partial thumbprint
that matches up
with Frank Brennan's.

So? I mean, they were partners.
I'm sure he showed up
once or twice.

- She moved right after he died.
- Maybe she kept
the same furniture.

The print was lifted
from a living room window.

Well, you can't
trust partials.

Obviously,
somebody's out to lunch.

Lunch. Lunch.
You know what?

I am famished.
You just had breakfast.

It was just an apple.
You know, I'm a growing girl.

Somehow, we've gotta get
this guy out in the open.

So when he's shooting at me,
you're shooting at him.
You know what?

That's a good plan.
We'll-- I'll look at that.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where are you going now?

Where did Wolfe go?
Towards the railroad.

Hello again.
Amanda, isn't it?

You're still here.
Beautiful and smart.

If only we'd met
under different circumstances.

- But we're never gonna
get along, are we?
- Not in this lifetime.

I've never taken
a woman's head before.

You'll have to earn it.

That wasn't very nice.

- You should've left it alone.
- Fine.

What say I get on an airplane
and disappear again?

- A little late for that.
- You got that right.

You lose.

What can I say?
I heard a gunshot.

You showed up
like a bat out of hell,
and I just reacted.

Quick reflexes.
Look, I saw a body.

Hey, I didn't get a name.
Did you get a name?
Brown hair. That's all I saw.

Wait. Brown hair?
Are you gonna tell me
who it was?

Please?
You know what?

Get on a plane.
Go home. It's over.
Yeah.

What in hell happened
to that body?
Body? What body?

Accusations without evidence
are just worthless.

Mmm.

Thanks for sharing.
Don't mention it.

Bon voyage.

Now, don't you kiss me.
Gotta go, guys.

Pleasure as always.
Bye-bye.

You know, one thing
we need to get straight...

if we're going to live
under the same roof--
Here it comes.

you cannot interfere
with the fights.
Hey, you cheated.

It doesn't matter.
It matters to me.

Look, I just wish that for once
when we got in an argument,

you would say
that you were wrong
and that you're sorry.

I'm never wrong.

I have a club to open.
Thank you so much
for saving my life.

Amanda.
What?

I didn't know
you knew Martin Scorsese.

Well, there's a lot about me
you don't know.
