Highlander: The Raven (1998–1999): Season 1, Episode 4 - Immunity - full transcript
Nick accepts an undercover assignment in which he has to infiltrate the Romanian embassy and recover a set of secret plans that had been stolen by one of its employees, and he asks for Amanda's help. Also, Amanda is being hunted by Stefan Collier, an immortal who insists that, despite not knowing her personally, she is next on his list.
Hold it, hold it,
hold it in that spot!
Okay, half an hour.
He's moving.
I'm on him.
Mike!
That's not the deal
we agreed on, Mr. Norris.
- It's not like it's your money.
Things change.
I've run into some problems.
That's unfortunate,
but it has nothing to do
with our agreement.
Take it or leave it.
You're putting me in a most
uncomfortable situation.
No!
Freeze!
Drop it.
You're very good.
I didn't see you.
My name is Marta Antonescu.
I'm cultural attach?
to the Romanian Embassy,
and I claim
my diplomatic immunity.
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.
Amanda.
Do I know you?
Stefan Collier.
I'm sorry.
I don't remember.
You don't know me,
but I know you. I do.
- Do tell.
- Born in Normandy,
early ninth century.
Your mentor was Rebecca.
Your preferred method
of sword fighting these days...
is light broadsword
with a little hapkido.
- Should I be flattered?
- It's all right there. See?
I nearly caught up with you
in France a few years back,
but you quit the circus
and disappeared.
It's taken me this long
to track you down.
- And now that you found me?
- I'll be taking your head.
Just like that?
Well, did I accidentally
acquire something of yours,
or kick your dog or something?
- It's not personal, Amanda.
- It is to me.
Well, it shouldn't be.
It's how I work.
The more heads I take,
the stronger I become.
Yes, I'm quite familiar
with the concept.
I've determined
the statistical probability of
successfully taking your head.
And suffice to say,
at this juncture,
I'm stronger than you.
If I believed in astrology,
I'd say the planets
were in alignment.
- And which one are you from?
- Charming sense of humor.
If you hurry, you can make it
back to the asylum by dinner.
Very funny.
Oh!
Amanda? Amanda.
What?
What happened?
Oh, well, you know,
I found the perfect sweater
to go with my gray pants.
It seems that a girl
can't even go shopping
without being assaulted.
Who was it?
No one.
Really?
Lucy, just leave it
alone, okay?
Maybe I can help.
You really wanna help me?
Well, stop thinking
that my life is your business.
Excuse me?
Lucy, you know, sometimes
things are just too much.
And right now
you are too much.
Can't you go see your niece
in Cleveland or something?
Or-- Or just go somewhere so
that every time I turn around,
I'm not tripping over you?
Put it up, man.
Nothing but net.
Come on, baby.
Pass!
Hey, hey, whoo!
Nick.
Good one.
Ho ho!
Break.
Nick?
You screwed up.
Where is it?
Cops said they found
nothing at the scene,
so let's have it. Come on.
Where's what?
Are you trying
to be funny?
It's not a good joke.
Come on.
You want me
to be funny? Okay.
Here's a joke.
You hire me to trail
a guy who's selling
international secrets.
I found myself in the middle
of an international incident.
You're not in the middle--
That's funny.
You're not in the middle
of anything.
Well, you just forgot
to tell me she was a diplomat?
That's it?
The people paying us insisted
on a need-to-know basis.
Gordon Norris
was hip-deep in debt,
selling out his own company.
That's all
you needed to know.
I thought
the Cold War was over.
Technically.
We have no official enemies.
But see, that's the nature
of industrial espionage--
you get to be screwed
by your friends.
Yeah, I know the feeling.
Okay, now gimme the plans.
Where are they? Come on.
They're inside the tube.
What are they?
Phase two.
Of?
Even if the technical crap
made any sense to me,
I couldn't explain it.
All I know is that 15 years
of U. S. -backed "R & D"
is heading overseas...
because Gordon Norris
has a gambling jones.
Had. Gordon Norris
is dead.
Nothing you could
have done about that.
Yeah, maybe.
Don't ever lie to me again.
What do you want me
to do, apologize?
Okay, I'll apologize.
Nick, I'm sorry I lied
to you. You're right.
Oh, by the way,
we have another situation.
Oh, no, no,
wehave nothing.
The job's not quite done.
I am.
Catch you later.
Go away. You got a problem,
you take it up with your buddies
at the State Department.
Well, I tried there,
but they can't break
into a foreign consulate.
That's it?
What, did you get dropped
on your head as a kid?
Come on.
You got the plans.
What else do you need?
We've only got phase two.
Phase one is still somewhere
in Marta Antonescu's consulate.
And in this delusional fantasy
of yours, you want me to
break in and steal phase one.
- That's it, right?
- Well, she's a murderer, Nick.
- With immunity.
- So the only way to get her...
is to get her
where she lives.
I can get you in there.
All you need to do is find
the plans and bring them out.
Right. Marta Antonescu
takes one look at me, and she
puts a bullet in my spine.
Nope. Marta
will still be downtown
answering questions.
What about
her diplomatic immunity?
Got a little tangled up
in red tape.
Look. We really need
those plans, Nick.
I really need those plans.
It's personal.
How long can she stay
lost in the system?
Thirty-six hours.
Maybe 40 with
a little extra pressure.
She's not your problem.
Leave her to me, okay?
Oh, did I mention
it's a two-man job?
No, no, no, no.
I work alone.
It's the only way in.
You need a wife.
Hey, I like being single.
See, it's a party
at the consulate.
Some kind of a thank-you weekend
for a dozen couples who
contribute to the new Romania.
What can I say?
I'm a real humanitarian.
Actually, not you.
It's your wife.
- I thought we could
maybe use Laura.
- No, no, not her.
- How about Jamie Devlin?
- Isn't she still mad at me?
Oh.
Well, you got someone
better in mind?
You still here?
You almost had me
there, Amanda.
What do you mean?
Picking a fight
to get me to leave.
I was not.
You do it all the time.
Whenever your back's against
the wall and you have no place
to run, you push everyone away.
Now, that's a good defense.
It just doesn't work
with me anymore.
You know what, Lucy?
You're brilliant.
You've got me pegged.
Now get out!
First I wanna know
who's in town and what
they want from you.
You don't know him.
I don't know him.
His name is Stefan Collier.
And, for some reason,
he's chosen me
as his next target.
Why?
Because the nexus
of the planets
are in alignment.
And Mercury's in retrograde.
How the hell should I know?
He's a nutcase,
and I want you out of here.
I was just about
to make us some lunch.
Lucy!
Now don't you use
that tone with me!
You don't understand, do you?
He knows my history.
He knows my fighting style.
He knows my bra size,
for God's sake.
He's gonna
come here to find me,
and I want you out.
You don't think
you can take him?
If you stay, so do I.
Oh, Lucy,
you make me crazy.
Yes, and that's
what you pay me for.
Amanda?
You're right, Amanda.
Let's both leave.
I can't run from him
forever.
Well, run today
and fight tomorrow
or next month.
Amanda.
Okay, you win.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Sweetheart?
Amanda,
come out and play!
Hey, Janet.
Hey, where we going?
I got a job for you.
Fine. Let's go.
"Let's go"?
That was too easy.
Can we go now?
Please.
Please.
All right,
Amanda's friend.
Let's see who the D. M. V.
says you are.
Welcome, Stefan.
Connecting
to satellite uplink.
D. M. V. search enabled.
Searching.
Search complete.
You want me
to do what exactly?
Breaking and entering,
safecracking, robbery--
the usual.
Ah, gee,
I don't have
a thing to wear.
Don't worry about that.
I'll send you everything
you need.
What is that,
a size three?
Aren't you sweet?
Now why do I have this feeling
that I'm gonna have my ass
shot off?
If they're shooting at you,
they're shooting at me.
All right,
what's our cover?
Mr. and Dr. LaSalle.
Dr. LaSalle.
I've never played
a doctor.
Better watch out, Myers.
She might cut out
your appendix.
Will you excuse us
for a second?
Mm.
May I have
a word with you?
Are you out of your mind?
She's perfect
for the job.
She is a criminal.
She can get in and out.
She's blonde.
A blonde criminal.
She's never been convicted.
You know what, guys?
I'm gonna go.
Wait.
If she's out,
I'm out.
Okay.
Okay then, where are
the real LaSalles?
Tony and Christine?
In Boca Raton.
Poor things, their G-4
got stuck on the tarmac.
Real shame how that happened.
Now here's everything
you need to know.
And by the way,
you're newlyweds.
- We can do that.
- No, wait a minute.
I didn't agree to that.
She'll do it. Don't worry.
It's a done deal.
No, I won't.
No, no, it isn't. No.
Yes, it is.
Listen, you lovebirds.
You've exactly two hours.
Let me know.
It's either her
or someone else.
This is a lame plan
and a sophomoric idea.
You're still doing it.
Why should I?
Because
I'm irresistible.
Get over your big self.
Because I need the best,
and that's you.
Now you're getting
a little warmer.
And because it's in
a secured building,
two days.
Armed guards, security.
Or you could play Zorro
with that guy
you're running from.
You don't miss much,
do you?
No, I don't.
I'll let you know.
Holy ground.
Very clever.
It's weird, isn't it?
Almost as though
I know where you're gonna be
before you get there.
You know, Stefan,
I think you should find
someone else to fight.
But I can't, Amanda.
You're next on the list.
Look. See? The numbers
are perfectly clear.
You know, I've had men
come after me because
they love me,
and men come after me
because they hate me,
but I've never had anyone
come after me because
I'm a blip on their flowchart.
Look. It's all
so black and white.
If I move on to the next
Immortal, it screws up
my calculations.
You can see that,
can't you?
How did you ever function
before computers?
Abacus, but the results
were the same.
There is reason and order
to everything in my life.
It is essential.
I like things neat.
Did anyone ever tell you
you have the loveliest skin?
Ow.
You are one sick puppy.
Yes. I've been called
that before.
There was a lovely man--
Artemis Lowe?
- Never knew him.
- Shame.
Right after my first death,
he took me in,
showed me how to fight,
helped me make order
out of chaos.
He was like
a father to me.
And still,
he never quite understood
why his time had come.
You killed him?
The risk-reward ratio
made it viable.
He never even
saw it coming.
You're good, Amanda.
But I'm better.
Wherever you go,
I'll be there.
Well, this is very nice.
And where will you be sleeping?
Who said anything
about sleeping?
Spoken like
a true newlywed.
Shouldn't you be casing
the place or something?
Okay.
Ah, voila.
- Parabolic mike?
- Mm-hmm.
And I bet these are
antistatic gloves.
Very good.
- Ah?
- Dental floss.
Filament line,
500-pound test.
Your friend Myers
knows his stuff.
And he is so good
with dresses. Wow.
- Who knew?
- What'd you get?
My dinner jacket
and a note warning me
not to trust you.
Well, that's no way
to start a marriage.
Hey, sweets.
Whoa, man.
You're dead, man!
Shut the hell up, man.
Don't I even
get a phone call?
You could get me out of this
if you wanted to.
You're right, I could.
At what cost?
I get what you stole.
You get a nice apartment.
Maybe a sports car.
Would red make you happy?
I'd still have to
stand trial for murder?
With a good lawyer,
you might beat it.
Hmm.
I don't like the odds.
Don't eyeball me.
It's a good life here, Marta.
It's worth the gamble.
You don't change,
do you, Bert?
You still assume
I want what you have.
Sorry.
My mistake.
Guard?
We're done here.
Take her.
What now?
As soon as we straighten out
your paperwork here
and get you uptown--
Uptown?
You're being moved
to a woman's facility.
A lady like you shouldn't
have to spend the night
in a place like this.
No. No, I demand
my phone call.
I hear they have
real nice phones up there.
You can't do this to me.
Make a real woman
outta ya, huh?
I am Marta Antonescu...
of the Romanian Embassy.
Yes, ma'am,
and I'm Cleopatra,
Queen of the Nile.
So how does it feel
to be a thief?
Oh, I get it.
You get to be clean.
It's for a good cause.
This is it.
No, it's not.
You know, with all
the expensive equipment,
you'd think that Myers
would find a better ring
than this.
You're a doctor.
Buy a new one.
And they say
romance is dead.
It's just a piece of metal.
Actually,
it symbolizes eternity.
Yeah, well,
eternity's overrated.
You're telling me?
You were married.
I'm right, aren't I?
- Ah, there it is.
-How do you know?
I've seen that security system
before. It was first used
by the Mossad headquarters.
I beg your pardon.
- You seemed to
have lost your way.
- Have we?
This area's off-limits.
- Off-limits.
- For security reasons.
Oh, of course.
If you'll follow me.
Just keep her for a while.
Thanks.
She's loaded up.
She should be arriving
uptown around 9:00.
And they'll move her again.
Mm.
Anything else you need?
Just keep her
off balance, that's all.
Who are you?
The Easter bunny?
Ah, here are
the lovebirds.
Bonsoir.
Bonsoir.
Now, you two have been
married how long?
Not long.
Seems like forever.
Um, I understand
you gave up private practice
for research, Doctor.
Yes, I'm studying
the immunology of rare tropical
diseases in the rain forest.
Ah, really?
Mm-hmm.
Before I joined
the diplomatic service,
I worked in Belize.
Such a small world.
Hmm.
Are you familiar
with Von Stern's articles...
on the native grasses
of the subtropics and their uses
in hemotropic diseases?
It is my bible.
Darling, you remember
Von Stern? He's one of
your biggest fans.
Like it was
yesterday.
Hmm.
They're playing
our song, sweetheart.
Would you mind if I took
my new bride for a dance?
Thank you.
You love to take chances,
don't you?
Mm. Always, don't you?
Compared to?
I guess being immortal
makes your life a little more
complicated than mine.
Mm, not tonight.
Where did you learn
to dance?
84th Street Gym.
It's easier
without the gloves.
You're staring.
Of course.
Let me give you my card.
Hmm. I seem to
have misplaced my wallet.
What could I
have done with it?
Where is it?
Maybe you should, uh,
frisk me, Detective.
You picked his pocket?
I bet you didn't
even see when.
Isn't that what
you brought me here for?
No, not to steal wallets.
Oh, no, we're here to steal
international secrets.
That's much more ethical.
Find Frank.
He'll have me
out of here in an hour.
You can't keep moving me
around like this.
Honey, if I had
10 bucks for every time
I heard those words--
Stop here, ladies.
Guard?
Something bothering you?
Is that real?
Is that?
A real sapphire, yes.
Move along, ladies.
What, you've
never seen anyone dust
for prints before?
Not with a makeup brush.
Mm-hmm.
Just throw it in the flowerpot.
He'll never know the difference.
Son of a bitch.
Thank you.
Maybe I should go first.
You don't trust me?
I don't like to follow.
It's a character flaw.
Especially for a cop.
Ex-cop.
Exactly.
Access by fingerprint only.
Okay. We have exactly
56 minutes until
the next security check.
Are you thirsty?
We don't have time
for this.
- How the hell did you know?
- It's the brand.
You might as well put up
a neon sign that says
"Here's the safe. "
Really scary.
What's the time?
We've got 54 minutes,
20 seconds.
Yo, let me outta here.
I'm getting carsick.
Yo, we need some help
with this one.
Oh, man.
Somebody
have some keys, please?
Mary Margaret Kelly.
Your lawyer posted for you.
You're free to go.
Ground is clear.
Your job was to find me
and get me out of there.
I don't pay you
to take no for an answer.
Amanda.
Ah, they've customized
the damn tumblers.
It's pressure
as well as the numbers.
If your friend Myers
had given us the combination,
we'd be out of here by now.
We don't need Myers.
We have you.
- Time's up.
- Thirty seconds.
We don't have
30 seconds.
Do you know what they'll do
to me if anything happens
to those plans?
They're still here.
That son of a bitch
didn't get them.
We're cutting our losses.
Tell Divaj
to make arrangements.
I'm flying home.
Yes, ma'am.
We have to get to her
before she leaves.
Nick, it's over.
We lost.
No, not yet.
A good thief knows
when to cut and run.
She knows what you look like.
She could have us both killed
and bury us in the garden,
and no one would know.
- We'd know.
- You don't get it, do you?
You're expendable.
You're not even here.
What?
Nothing.
You're really
bailing on me?
We're done.
No, we're not done.
You agreed to do this job.
I don't give a rat's ass
if some Immortal's chasing you.
You take a job,
you stay with it.
Watch closely.
This is me leaving.
Find someone else.
He's out there,
isn't he?
Isn't he?
Okay, go.
"Go"? So now you're
telling me I can go.
You heard me.
Why did you have me do this
in the first place?
You don't trust me.
I'm not even sure
that you like me.
So what is it?
You're good.
Myers gave you a long list
of good people.
You could have had anyone.
But you insisted on me,
didn't you?
Because I'm immortal.
I don't have time
for this.
Anyone else can die,
can't they? Like Claudia.
Leave it alone.
I am the only way
you won't have to lose
another partner.
Except you just figured out
I can die.
I could die here tonight.
Okay.
How do we get her?
She'll be carrying it
on her.
I'll take the chauffeur
and the bodyguard.
- You can have Miss Antonescu.
- Oh, thanks. I'm flattered.
Wait. One moment.
Miss Antonescu needs to
get her ass in gear.
We'll have to be ready
to grab and run.
Yeah, we'll, uh, take the limo.
We'll disappear in a hail of
bullets like Bonnie and Clyde.
Bonnie and Clyde died
in a hail of bullets.
Oh, you think so, huh?
- Nick.
- What?
Go. Go on.
Get outta here.
I can handle it.
What the hell
are you doing?
You don't have to
fight him. Run.
I'm sorry.
Amanda.
It's time,
you twisted bastard.
What did you do?
Come on.
She's getting away.
We can argue about it tomorrow.
You son of a bitch.
You cannot do that.
Thank me later.
You can't interfere.
He was about to
slice your head off.
Besides, it's not like
I killed him. It's more
like "Immortus interruptus,"
or something like that.
He'll be back. And besides,
one job at a time.
Nick, listen to me.
You cannot interfere.
Fine. We'll talk about it
on the way to the airport.
Unless you'd rather stay here
and have chips and dip
with the party guests.
Hey, you there! Stop!
Call the police!
Oh, man, this day
can't get any worse.
Come here.
Good news and bad news.
I got three teams I can spare.
Don't tell me.
Get more.
- There are six airports
in the county.
- Oh, that's a big help.
Are you sure she has
the plans with her?
- She has the plans.
- Hi, Amanda. Having fun yet?
Oh, a laugh riot.
You know, we can save
ourselves some trouble.
She knows that we're gonna
be watching the airports.
Yeah, but she's
in a hurry.
Helicopter.
What, a chopper to Bucharest?
Now that's some flight.
No, not Bucharest, Bermuda.
She'll get a jet there.
Call in the cavalry, Myers.
I'm on my way.
Something you wanna
say to me?
Yeah. Take a left
at the gas station.
So who was he?
What, you shoot first
and ask questions later?
Who died and made you hero?
- You've known him a long time?
- Just met.
And he wants to
kill you?
That's the game, Nick.
The game has rules.
You don't interfere.
I just did.
You can't save me from this,
so don't try.
I don't get it.
You can live forever,
but you go around...
whacking
each other's heads off,
and you call it a game?
What would you call it?
Good guys, bad guys.
Cops, robbers.
It's all a game, Nick.
Yes, okay.
As soon as possible.
Pilot says 20 minutes.
Not good enough.
How will you explain
your failure?
I'm not allowed
to fail.
I'll put the plans we have
in the engineer's hands
and declare victory.
If they can't make it work,
it's their heads, not mine.
But you're going home
with the job half done.
We're five million dollars
into this, Divaj.
If I lose what we have,
I won't get a parade.
I'll get a bullet
in the brain.
Remember to fire the pilot
when we get home.
This had better be him now.
Hold it! Freeze!
I'm not armed.
Don't shoot.
-Hi there.
- Who the hell are you?
I'm with him.
We'll take those plans.
My name
is Marta Antonescu.
I'm cultural attach?
to the Romanian Embassy.
And you can tell Bert Myers
I claim my diplomatic immunity.
Diplomatic immunity,
my ass.
Nice shot.
It's easier
without the gloves.
Good work.
You can leave her
to me now.
Our pleasure.
Oh, God.
Where the hell
are you going?
Unfinished business.
You've gotta be kidding.
Look.
He's not going away,
- and I'm tired of running.
- You need help?
It's the game.
My game.
We're all clear here.
I'm fine.
So, what happens now?
It's up to you.
I still have immunity.
Not when you return home
without the plans.
Well, I'm not staying here
and going to prison.
There are
worse things, Marta.
They'll give me
another chance.
I hope you're right.
You say that
like you mean it.
Bye.
You let her go?
She's a murderer,
and you let her go home?
We have what we wanted.
No, you have
what you wanted.
I wanted her to do life.
Not with immunity.
Not here.
But back home,
a woman loses five million
hard currency on a botched deal,
some places
they call that treason.
It's enough
to get you shot.
I gave her the choice.
She picked the hard way.
She always did.
Something else
you're leaving out?
Nothing relevant.
Tell me anyway.
She's my ex.
Nick, you never
get used to it.
What's it for?
Uh, some ritual combat
about nothing.
Not even about
right or wrong.
Not to them.
I'll open
some champagne.
You're okay.
I better go.
Sure. Whatever.
You are okay?
Hey.
Um--
Let's do this again sometime.

Okay, half an hour.
He's moving.
I'm on him.
Mike!
That's not the deal
we agreed on, Mr. Norris.
- It's not like it's your money.
Things change.
I've run into some problems.
That's unfortunate,
but it has nothing to do
with our agreement.
Take it or leave it.
You're putting me in a most
uncomfortable situation.
No!
Freeze!
Drop it.
You're very good.
I didn't see you.
My name is Marta Antonescu.
I'm cultural attach?
to the Romanian Embassy,
and I claim
my diplomatic immunity.
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.
Amanda.
Do I know you?
Stefan Collier.
I'm sorry.
I don't remember.
You don't know me,
but I know you. I do.
- Do tell.
- Born in Normandy,
early ninth century.
Your mentor was Rebecca.
Your preferred method
of sword fighting these days...
is light broadsword
with a little hapkido.
- Should I be flattered?
- It's all right there. See?
I nearly caught up with you
in France a few years back,
but you quit the circus
and disappeared.
It's taken me this long
to track you down.
- And now that you found me?
- I'll be taking your head.
Just like that?
Well, did I accidentally
acquire something of yours,
or kick your dog or something?
- It's not personal, Amanda.
- It is to me.
Well, it shouldn't be.
It's how I work.
The more heads I take,
the stronger I become.
Yes, I'm quite familiar
with the concept.
I've determined
the statistical probability of
successfully taking your head.
And suffice to say,
at this juncture,
I'm stronger than you.
If I believed in astrology,
I'd say the planets
were in alignment.
- And which one are you from?
- Charming sense of humor.
If you hurry, you can make it
back to the asylum by dinner.
Very funny.
Oh!
Amanda? Amanda.
What?
What happened?
Oh, well, you know,
I found the perfect sweater
to go with my gray pants.
It seems that a girl
can't even go shopping
without being assaulted.
Who was it?
No one.
Really?
Lucy, just leave it
alone, okay?
Maybe I can help.
You really wanna help me?
Well, stop thinking
that my life is your business.
Excuse me?
Lucy, you know, sometimes
things are just too much.
And right now
you are too much.
Can't you go see your niece
in Cleveland or something?
Or-- Or just go somewhere so
that every time I turn around,
I'm not tripping over you?
Put it up, man.
Nothing but net.
Come on, baby.
Pass!
Hey, hey, whoo!
Nick.
Good one.
Ho ho!
Break.
Nick?
You screwed up.
Where is it?
Cops said they found
nothing at the scene,
so let's have it. Come on.
Where's what?
Are you trying
to be funny?
It's not a good joke.
Come on.
You want me
to be funny? Okay.
Here's a joke.
You hire me to trail
a guy who's selling
international secrets.
I found myself in the middle
of an international incident.
You're not in the middle--
That's funny.
You're not in the middle
of anything.
Well, you just forgot
to tell me she was a diplomat?
That's it?
The people paying us insisted
on a need-to-know basis.
Gordon Norris
was hip-deep in debt,
selling out his own company.
That's all
you needed to know.
I thought
the Cold War was over.
Technically.
We have no official enemies.
But see, that's the nature
of industrial espionage--
you get to be screwed
by your friends.
Yeah, I know the feeling.
Okay, now gimme the plans.
Where are they? Come on.
They're inside the tube.
What are they?
Phase two.
Of?
Even if the technical crap
made any sense to me,
I couldn't explain it.
All I know is that 15 years
of U. S. -backed "R & D"
is heading overseas...
because Gordon Norris
has a gambling jones.
Had. Gordon Norris
is dead.
Nothing you could
have done about that.
Yeah, maybe.
Don't ever lie to me again.
What do you want me
to do, apologize?
Okay, I'll apologize.
Nick, I'm sorry I lied
to you. You're right.
Oh, by the way,
we have another situation.
Oh, no, no,
wehave nothing.
The job's not quite done.
I am.
Catch you later.
Go away. You got a problem,
you take it up with your buddies
at the State Department.
Well, I tried there,
but they can't break
into a foreign consulate.
That's it?
What, did you get dropped
on your head as a kid?
Come on.
You got the plans.
What else do you need?
We've only got phase two.
Phase one is still somewhere
in Marta Antonescu's consulate.
And in this delusional fantasy
of yours, you want me to
break in and steal phase one.
- That's it, right?
- Well, she's a murderer, Nick.
- With immunity.
- So the only way to get her...
is to get her
where she lives.
I can get you in there.
All you need to do is find
the plans and bring them out.
Right. Marta Antonescu
takes one look at me, and she
puts a bullet in my spine.
Nope. Marta
will still be downtown
answering questions.
What about
her diplomatic immunity?
Got a little tangled up
in red tape.
Look. We really need
those plans, Nick.
I really need those plans.
It's personal.
How long can she stay
lost in the system?
Thirty-six hours.
Maybe 40 with
a little extra pressure.
She's not your problem.
Leave her to me, okay?
Oh, did I mention
it's a two-man job?
No, no, no, no.
I work alone.
It's the only way in.
You need a wife.
Hey, I like being single.
See, it's a party
at the consulate.
Some kind of a thank-you weekend
for a dozen couples who
contribute to the new Romania.
What can I say?
I'm a real humanitarian.
Actually, not you.
It's your wife.
- I thought we could
maybe use Laura.
- No, no, not her.
- How about Jamie Devlin?
- Isn't she still mad at me?
Oh.
Well, you got someone
better in mind?
You still here?
You almost had me
there, Amanda.
What do you mean?
Picking a fight
to get me to leave.
I was not.
You do it all the time.
Whenever your back's against
the wall and you have no place
to run, you push everyone away.
Now, that's a good defense.
It just doesn't work
with me anymore.
You know what, Lucy?
You're brilliant.
You've got me pegged.
Now get out!
First I wanna know
who's in town and what
they want from you.
You don't know him.
I don't know him.
His name is Stefan Collier.
And, for some reason,
he's chosen me
as his next target.
Why?
Because the nexus
of the planets
are in alignment.
And Mercury's in retrograde.
How the hell should I know?
He's a nutcase,
and I want you out of here.
I was just about
to make us some lunch.
Lucy!
Now don't you use
that tone with me!
You don't understand, do you?
He knows my history.
He knows my fighting style.
He knows my bra size,
for God's sake.
He's gonna
come here to find me,
and I want you out.
You don't think
you can take him?
If you stay, so do I.
Oh, Lucy,
you make me crazy.
Yes, and that's
what you pay me for.
Amanda?
You're right, Amanda.
Let's both leave.
I can't run from him
forever.
Well, run today
and fight tomorrow
or next month.
Amanda.
Okay, you win.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Sweetheart?
Amanda,
come out and play!
Hey, Janet.
Hey, where we going?
I got a job for you.
Fine. Let's go.
"Let's go"?
That was too easy.
Can we go now?
Please.
Please.
All right,
Amanda's friend.
Let's see who the D. M. V.
says you are.
Welcome, Stefan.
Connecting
to satellite uplink.
D. M. V. search enabled.
Searching.
Search complete.
You want me
to do what exactly?
Breaking and entering,
safecracking, robbery--
the usual.
Ah, gee,
I don't have
a thing to wear.
Don't worry about that.
I'll send you everything
you need.
What is that,
a size three?
Aren't you sweet?
Now why do I have this feeling
that I'm gonna have my ass
shot off?
If they're shooting at you,
they're shooting at me.
All right,
what's our cover?
Mr. and Dr. LaSalle.
Dr. LaSalle.
I've never played
a doctor.
Better watch out, Myers.
She might cut out
your appendix.
Will you excuse us
for a second?
Mm.
May I have
a word with you?
Are you out of your mind?
She's perfect
for the job.
She is a criminal.
She can get in and out.
She's blonde.
A blonde criminal.
She's never been convicted.
You know what, guys?
I'm gonna go.
Wait.
If she's out,
I'm out.
Okay.
Okay then, where are
the real LaSalles?
Tony and Christine?
In Boca Raton.
Poor things, their G-4
got stuck on the tarmac.
Real shame how that happened.
Now here's everything
you need to know.
And by the way,
you're newlyweds.
- We can do that.
- No, wait a minute.
I didn't agree to that.
She'll do it. Don't worry.
It's a done deal.
No, I won't.
No, no, it isn't. No.
Yes, it is.
Listen, you lovebirds.
You've exactly two hours.
Let me know.
It's either her
or someone else.
This is a lame plan
and a sophomoric idea.
You're still doing it.
Why should I?
Because
I'm irresistible.
Get over your big self.
Because I need the best,
and that's you.
Now you're getting
a little warmer.
And because it's in
a secured building,
two days.
Armed guards, security.
Or you could play Zorro
with that guy
you're running from.
You don't miss much,
do you?
No, I don't.
I'll let you know.
Holy ground.
Very clever.
It's weird, isn't it?
Almost as though
I know where you're gonna be
before you get there.
You know, Stefan,
I think you should find
someone else to fight.
But I can't, Amanda.
You're next on the list.
Look. See? The numbers
are perfectly clear.
You know, I've had men
come after me because
they love me,
and men come after me
because they hate me,
but I've never had anyone
come after me because
I'm a blip on their flowchart.
Look. It's all
so black and white.
If I move on to the next
Immortal, it screws up
my calculations.
You can see that,
can't you?
How did you ever function
before computers?
Abacus, but the results
were the same.
There is reason and order
to everything in my life.
It is essential.
I like things neat.
Did anyone ever tell you
you have the loveliest skin?
Ow.
You are one sick puppy.
Yes. I've been called
that before.
There was a lovely man--
Artemis Lowe?
- Never knew him.
- Shame.
Right after my first death,
he took me in,
showed me how to fight,
helped me make order
out of chaos.
He was like
a father to me.
And still,
he never quite understood
why his time had come.
You killed him?
The risk-reward ratio
made it viable.
He never even
saw it coming.
You're good, Amanda.
But I'm better.
Wherever you go,
I'll be there.
Well, this is very nice.
And where will you be sleeping?
Who said anything
about sleeping?
Spoken like
a true newlywed.
Shouldn't you be casing
the place or something?
Okay.
Ah, voila.
- Parabolic mike?
- Mm-hmm.
And I bet these are
antistatic gloves.
Very good.
- Ah?
- Dental floss.
Filament line,
500-pound test.
Your friend Myers
knows his stuff.
And he is so good
with dresses. Wow.
- Who knew?
- What'd you get?
My dinner jacket
and a note warning me
not to trust you.
Well, that's no way
to start a marriage.
Hey, sweets.
Whoa, man.
You're dead, man!
Shut the hell up, man.
Don't I even
get a phone call?
You could get me out of this
if you wanted to.
You're right, I could.
At what cost?
I get what you stole.
You get a nice apartment.
Maybe a sports car.
Would red make you happy?
I'd still have to
stand trial for murder?
With a good lawyer,
you might beat it.
Hmm.
I don't like the odds.
Don't eyeball me.
It's a good life here, Marta.
It's worth the gamble.
You don't change,
do you, Bert?
You still assume
I want what you have.
Sorry.
My mistake.
Guard?
We're done here.
Take her.
What now?
As soon as we straighten out
your paperwork here
and get you uptown--
Uptown?
You're being moved
to a woman's facility.
A lady like you shouldn't
have to spend the night
in a place like this.
No. No, I demand
my phone call.
I hear they have
real nice phones up there.
You can't do this to me.
Make a real woman
outta ya, huh?
I am Marta Antonescu...
of the Romanian Embassy.
Yes, ma'am,
and I'm Cleopatra,
Queen of the Nile.
So how does it feel
to be a thief?
Oh, I get it.
You get to be clean.
It's for a good cause.
This is it.
No, it's not.
You know, with all
the expensive equipment,
you'd think that Myers
would find a better ring
than this.
You're a doctor.
Buy a new one.
And they say
romance is dead.
It's just a piece of metal.
Actually,
it symbolizes eternity.
Yeah, well,
eternity's overrated.
You're telling me?
You were married.
I'm right, aren't I?
- Ah, there it is.
-How do you know?
I've seen that security system
before. It was first used
by the Mossad headquarters.
I beg your pardon.
- You seemed to
have lost your way.
- Have we?
This area's off-limits.
- Off-limits.
- For security reasons.
Oh, of course.
If you'll follow me.
Just keep her for a while.
Thanks.
She's loaded up.
She should be arriving
uptown around 9:00.
And they'll move her again.
Mm.
Anything else you need?
Just keep her
off balance, that's all.
Who are you?
The Easter bunny?
Ah, here are
the lovebirds.
Bonsoir.
Bonsoir.
Now, you two have been
married how long?
Not long.
Seems like forever.
Um, I understand
you gave up private practice
for research, Doctor.
Yes, I'm studying
the immunology of rare tropical
diseases in the rain forest.
Ah, really?
Mm-hmm.
Before I joined
the diplomatic service,
I worked in Belize.
Such a small world.
Hmm.
Are you familiar
with Von Stern's articles...
on the native grasses
of the subtropics and their uses
in hemotropic diseases?
It is my bible.
Darling, you remember
Von Stern? He's one of
your biggest fans.
Like it was
yesterday.
Hmm.
They're playing
our song, sweetheart.
Would you mind if I took
my new bride for a dance?
Thank you.
You love to take chances,
don't you?
Mm. Always, don't you?
Compared to?
I guess being immortal
makes your life a little more
complicated than mine.
Mm, not tonight.
Where did you learn
to dance?
84th Street Gym.
It's easier
without the gloves.
You're staring.
Of course.
Let me give you my card.
Hmm. I seem to
have misplaced my wallet.
What could I
have done with it?
Where is it?
Maybe you should, uh,
frisk me, Detective.
You picked his pocket?
I bet you didn't
even see when.
Isn't that what
you brought me here for?
No, not to steal wallets.
Oh, no, we're here to steal
international secrets.
That's much more ethical.
Find Frank.
He'll have me
out of here in an hour.
You can't keep moving me
around like this.
Honey, if I had
10 bucks for every time
I heard those words--
Stop here, ladies.
Guard?
Something bothering you?
Is that real?
Is that?
A real sapphire, yes.
Move along, ladies.
What, you've
never seen anyone dust
for prints before?
Not with a makeup brush.
Mm-hmm.
Just throw it in the flowerpot.
He'll never know the difference.
Son of a bitch.
Thank you.
Maybe I should go first.
You don't trust me?
I don't like to follow.
It's a character flaw.
Especially for a cop.
Ex-cop.
Exactly.
Access by fingerprint only.
Okay. We have exactly
56 minutes until
the next security check.
Are you thirsty?
We don't have time
for this.
- How the hell did you know?
- It's the brand.
You might as well put up
a neon sign that says
"Here's the safe. "
Really scary.
What's the time?
We've got 54 minutes,
20 seconds.
Yo, let me outta here.
I'm getting carsick.
Yo, we need some help
with this one.
Oh, man.
Somebody
have some keys, please?
Mary Margaret Kelly.
Your lawyer posted for you.
You're free to go.
Ground is clear.
Your job was to find me
and get me out of there.
I don't pay you
to take no for an answer.
Amanda.
Ah, they've customized
the damn tumblers.
It's pressure
as well as the numbers.
If your friend Myers
had given us the combination,
we'd be out of here by now.
We don't need Myers.
We have you.
- Time's up.
- Thirty seconds.
We don't have
30 seconds.
Do you know what they'll do
to me if anything happens
to those plans?
They're still here.
That son of a bitch
didn't get them.
We're cutting our losses.
Tell Divaj
to make arrangements.
I'm flying home.
Yes, ma'am.
We have to get to her
before she leaves.
Nick, it's over.
We lost.
No, not yet.
A good thief knows
when to cut and run.
She knows what you look like.
She could have us both killed
and bury us in the garden,
and no one would know.
- We'd know.
- You don't get it, do you?
You're expendable.
You're not even here.
What?
Nothing.
You're really
bailing on me?
We're done.
No, we're not done.
You agreed to do this job.
I don't give a rat's ass
if some Immortal's chasing you.
You take a job,
you stay with it.
Watch closely.
This is me leaving.
Find someone else.
He's out there,
isn't he?
Isn't he?
Okay, go.
"Go"? So now you're
telling me I can go.
You heard me.
Why did you have me do this
in the first place?
You don't trust me.
I'm not even sure
that you like me.
So what is it?
You're good.
Myers gave you a long list
of good people.
You could have had anyone.
But you insisted on me,
didn't you?
Because I'm immortal.
I don't have time
for this.
Anyone else can die,
can't they? Like Claudia.
Leave it alone.
I am the only way
you won't have to lose
another partner.
Except you just figured out
I can die.
I could die here tonight.
Okay.
How do we get her?
She'll be carrying it
on her.
I'll take the chauffeur
and the bodyguard.
- You can have Miss Antonescu.
- Oh, thanks. I'm flattered.
Wait. One moment.
Miss Antonescu needs to
get her ass in gear.
We'll have to be ready
to grab and run.
Yeah, we'll, uh, take the limo.
We'll disappear in a hail of
bullets like Bonnie and Clyde.
Bonnie and Clyde died
in a hail of bullets.
Oh, you think so, huh?
- Nick.
- What?
Go. Go on.
Get outta here.
I can handle it.
What the hell
are you doing?
You don't have to
fight him. Run.
I'm sorry.
Amanda.
It's time,
you twisted bastard.
What did you do?
Come on.
She's getting away.
We can argue about it tomorrow.
You son of a bitch.
You cannot do that.
Thank me later.
You can't interfere.
He was about to
slice your head off.
Besides, it's not like
I killed him. It's more
like "Immortus interruptus,"
or something like that.
He'll be back. And besides,
one job at a time.
Nick, listen to me.
You cannot interfere.
Fine. We'll talk about it
on the way to the airport.
Unless you'd rather stay here
and have chips and dip
with the party guests.
Hey, you there! Stop!
Call the police!
Oh, man, this day
can't get any worse.
Come here.
Good news and bad news.
I got three teams I can spare.
Don't tell me.
Get more.
- There are six airports
in the county.
- Oh, that's a big help.
Are you sure she has
the plans with her?
- She has the plans.
- Hi, Amanda. Having fun yet?
Oh, a laugh riot.
You know, we can save
ourselves some trouble.
She knows that we're gonna
be watching the airports.
Yeah, but she's
in a hurry.
Helicopter.
What, a chopper to Bucharest?
Now that's some flight.
No, not Bucharest, Bermuda.
She'll get a jet there.
Call in the cavalry, Myers.
I'm on my way.
Something you wanna
say to me?
Yeah. Take a left
at the gas station.
So who was he?
What, you shoot first
and ask questions later?
Who died and made you hero?
- You've known him a long time?
- Just met.
And he wants to
kill you?
That's the game, Nick.
The game has rules.
You don't interfere.
I just did.
You can't save me from this,
so don't try.
I don't get it.
You can live forever,
but you go around...
whacking
each other's heads off,
and you call it a game?
What would you call it?
Good guys, bad guys.
Cops, robbers.
It's all a game, Nick.
Yes, okay.
As soon as possible.
Pilot says 20 minutes.
Not good enough.
How will you explain
your failure?
I'm not allowed
to fail.
I'll put the plans we have
in the engineer's hands
and declare victory.
If they can't make it work,
it's their heads, not mine.
But you're going home
with the job half done.
We're five million dollars
into this, Divaj.
If I lose what we have,
I won't get a parade.
I'll get a bullet
in the brain.
Remember to fire the pilot
when we get home.
This had better be him now.
Hold it! Freeze!
I'm not armed.
Don't shoot.
-Hi there.
- Who the hell are you?
I'm with him.
We'll take those plans.
My name
is Marta Antonescu.
I'm cultural attach?
to the Romanian Embassy.
And you can tell Bert Myers
I claim my diplomatic immunity.
Diplomatic immunity,
my ass.
Nice shot.
It's easier
without the gloves.
Good work.
You can leave her
to me now.
Our pleasure.
Oh, God.
Where the hell
are you going?
Unfinished business.
You've gotta be kidding.
Look.
He's not going away,
- and I'm tired of running.
- You need help?
It's the game.
My game.
We're all clear here.
I'm fine.
So, what happens now?
It's up to you.
I still have immunity.
Not when you return home
without the plans.
Well, I'm not staying here
and going to prison.
There are
worse things, Marta.
They'll give me
another chance.
I hope you're right.
You say that
like you mean it.
Bye.
You let her go?
She's a murderer,
and you let her go home?
We have what we wanted.
No, you have
what you wanted.
I wanted her to do life.
Not with immunity.
Not here.
But back home,
a woman loses five million
hard currency on a botched deal,
some places
they call that treason.
It's enough
to get you shot.
I gave her the choice.
She picked the hard way.
She always did.
Something else
you're leaving out?
Nothing relevant.
Tell me anyway.
She's my ex.
Nick, you never
get used to it.
What's it for?
Uh, some ritual combat
about nothing.
Not even about
right or wrong.
Not to them.
I'll open
some champagne.
You're okay.
I better go.
Sure. Whatever.
You are okay?
Hey.
Um--
Let's do this again sometime.
