Highlander: The Search for Vengeance Page #3

Synopsis: The lone warrior Colin travels with the wise-cracking ghost Amergan through the ages searching for the immortal despot Marcus Octavius, who killed his lover on the Celtic plains tens of centuries ago. On his quest, he discovers New York is submerged, and one dominant monolith fortress towers over the seas. Colin can save the survivors, but his sword only hungers for the blood of one man. Despite many lifetimes of training, Colin has failed to vanquish Marcus on the great battlefields of history. Can he finish what he started and stop Marcus? Will Colin lead the people to freedom or become consumed by hate? There can be only one.

...without a name...

...he fought for us, he died for us.

He lived as a stranger, but in death he is a Highlander.

From today onward, he shall be known...

...as our brother Colin MacLeod of Clan MacLeod.

Hoi!

When you did find a place to call your home...

...and a woman who loved you...

What did you do?

I see him! This way!

Get out of the way, Deborah!

The demon must be destroyed!

You'll have to kill me first!

Are you mad girl?

You're in the way, Deborah!

Leave me Deborah...

...this is my fight.

No, it's mine... I love you! No!

Kill him now!

Leave him be! Leave him! No!

Colin!

Enough!

You'll not do this man any harm.

But Gregor... he's a demon!

We saw him dead! Yet now he lives!

He's the devil!

I don't know what could have brought him back to life...

...but he fought at our side and

helped bring us a great victory.

Look at his eyes...

There is no evil there!

Only sadness!

Then you will not raise your hands against him.

He has bewitched you!

He must die! He must die!

Here I swear on my honour... that so will you!

Go.

But... never forget...

...that you are Colin MacLeod of Clan MacLeod.

Live with honour, Highlander.

Colin!

Did Deborah's love or Gregor's faith change you?

Did you live with honour?

No. Because honour was not what you wanted.

For over a thousand years, it was only...

...vengeance.

Marcus!

Fire! Fire!!

You died again and again...

...with no thought of what you could have been...

...or what you could have done.

Well, that'll at least get you an A for the effort!

Hmm... Holy ground...

Why don't you just give up before you luck runs out?

I loved Moya... and you killed her!

I loved Rome... things die...

It is the way of life.

All we can do is try to find a reason to go on.

Build it again.

I have found mine.

Why don't you find something?

Mine is to bury you!

I wonder... who is the bigger fool?

So here we go again.

You must really enjoy getting your ass kicked...

...you do it so often.

Sh*t!

Dahlia! Hurry!

It's closing!

I knew it was you.

He's my guest.

You're looking well, old friend.

You are the same pitiful savage you have always been.

That will hurt...

Oh, sh*t!

Holy sh*t!!

Colin! Keep going!

Come on, let's go! He's dead!

Get the vaccine to Doc, and tell him about the virus.

What are you waiting for?!

I'm outta here!

Colin!

What?!

Jesus!

You were dead, weren't you?!

Y-Yeah... I was..

...but it's not... the first time.

Huh, you expect me to believe that you ran out on us because ...

...you and Marcus are both immortal?

And you've been chasing him all this time...

...for revenge...

...all this time?

Yeah.

Because he killed your wife, two thousand years ago...

Two thousand years!

I think you're out of your f***ing mind!

I'm getting tired of this crap!

Go... but...

Two thousand f***ing years!

So much grief!

So much hate!

You've had so much pain...

You must have really loved her!

That was very impressive... NOT!

At least you're consistent.

Where am I?

Inside... inside your own head!

Pretty empty, huh?

Remember this place?

Or have you forgotten her like you forgot your promise?

So, what would Moya think of you now?

Moya is gone.

Uh, you think?

This is her grave.

I've met trees with more brains!

You think that she was only of the body?

That dust is all she has become...

...but her soul, her essence is eternal.

She was meant to meet you again.

And she had found you throughout time.

But you staggered around blind and stupid...

...unable to see, unable to love...

...so full of anger and rage.

You've lost your reason, your promise!

You're full of sh*t!

Am I?

Open your eyes! Don't you see?

Don't you get it?

Moya, Deborah, Dahlia... are the same woman.

Colin...

Moya!

It's me...

Dahlia saved your butt!

Welcome back!

About five minutes ago you had six broken ribs...

...three crushed vertebrae, and you were bleeding out from a ruptured spleen...

...now you're not!

There he is!

It's him!

He's really alive...

I'm used to people running from me, like I was the devil.

Hmm, what you are doesn't matter.

You not only helped bring the vaccine...

...you've brought them something much more important.

You've brought them hope.

They now believe that anything is possible.

And so do I.

Doc, tell me you're not thinking of going to war with the city...

I'm tired of hiding in sewers...

...waiting for the day they kill us all.

Are you out of your mind?! He has an army! You have no chance.

You have no chance.

We have no choice.

Doc!

Listen up, everyone.

Today we have learned the truth...

...this virus has one purpose.

To kill us all. I say we fight!

Who fights with me?

We got no choice, let's take back our city!

Tell all your friends: tomorrow, we take back our city!

Tomorrow, we take back our lives!

Colin!

You'll fight with us, right?

It's our war, it's not his problem.

But...

To glory!

TO GLORYYYY!!!

In the name of honour!

HONOOOUR!!!

It was all going so well.

Now you say it's useless...

What am I going to do with you?

Not... useless... just not perfect.

Until we can control it, to use it is madness... it could kill us all.

I just need a little time.

Which, sadly, you do not have.

You're done.

What do you mean... done?

Done... means done!

They won't like that we created the virus...

I think it's time for a little creative brutality.

Go!

Yes sir!

What about MacLeod?

Don't bother looking for him. He'll be back.

Come in.

I never thanked you for carrying me out of there.

Forget it.

If you die... you won't be coming back.

Sometime dying's easier than living.

Seems like my whole life I've been fighting.

If I die, and we win... that's good enough for me.

Every day, at church, I pray for it.

I know you don't believe...

...but I'm sure God's been listening.

He has to be.

Because He answered one of my prayers.

Colin... I was praying... for you.

Hey, where's Dahlia?

We're letting her sleep.

So much for the element of surprise...

Come on, tough sh*t on us! It's now or never!

Rudy's right... but there's only way you can really win...

Marcus has to die.

Can you hold out long enough?

What are your chances of killing him?

Best you not know...

Right... same here.

Colin! There's another way into the city...

...but you'd have to be crazy to try!

Show me.

Come on baby... come to papa...

Wait and you'll see what daddy's got for you...

A little more...

That's it!

What the...

Up there!

Keep firing!

Run!

Colin...

Motherf***er!!!

This is it...

Right through there...

Let's fall back!

I told you had to be crazy.

But this is the only way to get up there.

Thanks.

I'll take it from here.

Hey Colin! Kick his ass...

You can't hide from me, cutie!

Oh baby... that must hurt...

Dahlia!

Just do what you gotta do and get your ass back to me!

Dahlia! Be careful!

What a bang!

Who's the man?

You're the man!

Let's finish this.

You got it.

C'mon, it's time to kick some ass!

There's the signal!
