Highlander: The Search for Vengeance Page #2

I trust we are still on track.

I understand sir.

However, in a chemical reaction of this complexity there are variables...

...that the less understood and controlled could lead to catastrophe.

You have until the end of the day.

But, sir...

I was a little slow today.

Sorry.

Ah, but the stroke was perfect.

And you... are perfect.

But I was nothing... till you found me.

Remember?

Of course.

Are you... God?

Close enough.

You are immortal.

You will serve me for eternity.

Besides, you really are much too beautiful to kill.

Show me your gratitude.

What is it?

Commander, Malike's killer has escaped.

Well, find him.

Kill him if you have to but I want his head attached to his shoulders.

Yes, sir.

Should I help them?

No, this is more important.

Come on, this way.

It's a secret entrance.

Soldiers can't track us down here.

Welcome to our world.

I'm still hungry.

Sorry, we're out of it. More's coming in tomorrow.

We still have soup.

I hate rat soup.

Next.

Your call.

You got my stud?

Yeah, you got it.

Why do you live down here?

Only the obedient a**holes live in the tower.

And they own the whole damn city.

Those bastards also control the vaccine.

Fewer get sick underground. It betters our chances.

Dahlia!

You're back.

Doc, how's Cerul doing?

Not good.

Without vaccine...

...she doesn't have a chance.

The virus is killing her.

This is the guy all the commotion's about?

That's him.

Home.

Come on in.

Scotch, gin, bourbon...

Help yourself.

Why did you bring me here?

Can't you guess?

Most of my customers look like Freddy.

Let's just say...

...I'll give you the house discount.

Why don't you take it easy?

You don't seem like the shy type.

You like what you see?

Come on, it's free. Whatever you want...

Why don't you tell me the real reason why I'm here?

No big deal. I just need a little help.

Yeah, right.

Hey, wait. I need your help.

Will you just hold on a minute?

I want you to help me break into the tower and steal some vaccine.

We lost our source inside. They killed him.

People are dying. Don't you care?

No, I don't.

Wait!

Wow, that didn't work.

This is all it takes.

Now, let us build our perfect world together.

Yo!

Hey!

I will make your dreams come true.

Please, just stop.

All in a world of safety, beauty and prosperity.

I got money, I can pay you.

Your obedience is all it takes.

Marcus!

Come, let us build our perfect world together.

What?! Don't tell me you know him?

He's the a**hole that owns us.

What is this?

Hey, on your feet, dog!

Who're you?

Get up!

Bring him to me.

Why have you come here?

Answer me!

You crucified Moya!

Moya...

What a pity to waste such beauty.

She was yours then?

I'll tell you what...

Kill me and you live.

Cut him loose.

I'll do it!

Leave him!

He's mine.

He lies on holy ground.

You are a lucky bastard!

Well...

...it took you long enough.

Are you a sorcerer?

No.

No, I'm just a spirit.

I was once a druid priest and I was called Amergan.

Where are you going?

To kill a Roman.

Aren't you at least mildly curious as to why you still live?

I'm healed!

You, my friend, are immortal.

You will live forever.

Unless someone cuts off your head.

Oh, and I'd lay down that sword if I were you.

Well, if I'm immortal then what have I got to worry about?

Pain.

Pain still hurts.

Are we ready to listen?

We have much to discuss.

You have been given a rare gift.

You will live to see civilizations rise and fall.

You will know a thousand joys...

...and a thousand heartaches.

My friend...

...the Romans have gone.

What?!

Gone where?

There are other immortals like yourself.

When they draw close you'll feel them just like you felt Marcus.

Where is he?!

Tell me, tell me!!

He will take your head and your quickening.

Where is Marcus?!

He was part of your mortal life.

That life is over.

It'll be over when he's dead.

Your life has just begun.

Why are you in such a hurry to die?

NOOOOO!!!!

Holy sh*t!

Where is he?

What?

What's with you?

Where is he?

He's up there.

Forget about it, okay?

Security is too tight.

And half the army is looking for you ass.

Unless you know how to get in...

...like I do.

Now remember our deal...

I get you in and you help me get the vaccine.

Once I have it, do what you want.

Joe!

Huh, what the hell are you doing here?

Sarah's dying. I'm going with you.

No, you're not kid.

You'll just be in the way.

Joe, no one's ever made it.

Doc was lucky ok? Only lost his leg.

My choice.

Keep quiet.

What, what the...?

Oh, shi-

It's off.

Run, right now!

I'm sorry about the watch!

Forget it, run!

This way!

Dahlia!

Oh, man...

Come on, this way.

You sure you know where we're going?

Yeah, the city's right above us.

It should be right...

...there.

Bad timing.

Just stay put and...

Wow, he's amazing.

Yeah... but not very subtle.

Let's keep moving.

Here goes nothing!

Nobody moves!

If you wanna live, put your hands behind your heads!

Do it!

What exactly do you think you're doing?

We're here for the vaccine.

Where is it?

No! No!!

I'll do what you want!

For God's sake stop firing!

Did we lose viral containment?

No, sir! We're safe!

All sensors are negative.

What was that about?

What?

This is gotta be it!

I found it! It's the vaccine!

Put it in here!

I got it.

Hey! What's in there?

You said it was "viral"...

Why is there virus in there?

Don't! You do that... and everyone within 50 miles dies...

Oh, it's perfection...

...a perfect virus with a contagion and kill rate of 100%.

What the hell is it doing down here?!

No... it can't be...

Son of a b*tch! You've been making it all along, right here...

You've been making us sick! Killing us!

I was under orders...

Why?! How could you do that?

Because... this is how it is... in Rome.

This isn't f***ing Rome! This is New York!

It seems... that the security is aware of your presence.

Now drop your weap...

We're outta here!

I'm ready, let's go!

What now?!

Dahlia!

Sh*t! Run!!

Why is he going?

I don't know!

Wait! Colin!

Colin!

Don't go...

Don't leave us!

You've never been that bright.

How many women are you going to run away from?

Friends? Lovers? They mean nothing!

You live only for your vengeance...

Marcus!

I see you've been busy!

It took you long enough...

...Persia, Gaul, Egypt...

I go wherever my empire needs me.

Your empire dies today.

No... No, it will never die... in here.

Rome is more... more than princes, and palaces.

...is a thought, an ideal, a vision of beauty, order and peace.

My destiny is to create it again, in all its perfection.

Not if you're dead!

It is you, my friend, who are dead.

Here. Just open your eyes.

Barbarian.

This is your destiny.

There can be only one.

All you knew was your hate for Marcus...

...all you had was your quest for revenge...

...wasting centuries of life on a useless journey...

...that can only end in your death.

Marcus!

No! Colin!

A warrior came to us without a clan...
