The world has fallen

into chaos and decay.

There is no law, no justice,

only death and destruction.

Some say it's a sign

of the coming of the Apocalypse,

a time that even immortaIs fear.

There are two in our city.

One of the immortaIs is Zai Jie.

Driven by faith and desperation,

he is on a quest to find The Source,

a holy grail of peace and salvation

to some immortals.

Many believe it does not exist at all,

like Duncan MacLeod,

an immortal who thinks

The Source is a fairy tale,

and illusion created to give hope

where there is none.

Duncan is also the only man

I have ever loved.

We haven't spoken in months,

but sometimes I sense his presence

watching me, protecting me.

Even though Duncan doubts The Source,

I don't.

I've seen it in my visions

and I've feIt its call.

No!

In my soul, I believe in two things:

The Source and Duncan MacLeod,

The Highlander.

Wait!

Anna.

Sorry.

I thought you were someone else.

Methos, try and listen

to what I'm saying.

Reggie, calm down.

Tell me what's going on.

Over the past week,

the planets of our solar system

have moved outside their orbital paths

and are coming into alignment.

I mean, do you know how unusual that is?

There's no simple way to explain this.

But that could just be orbital wobble.

Orbital wobble is one thing,

but this...

This is outside the laws

of celestial mechanics.

And that's not all.

Literally millions of celestial bodies

from here to the central

sun of our galaxy are lining up.

When that alignment is complete,

in exactly 4 days, 3 hours, 47 minutes,

The Earth is going to be bombarded

with cosmic radiation.

The moment of The Source.

The light of the cosmos

is literally reaching out to us.

Aye.

What about Zai?

Did we hear from him?

No.

No, he's overdue.

Isn't your friend MacLeod there?

Can't he help?

MacLeod is not the man he once was.

Well, just try.

Food. Food.

Thank you.

Hey! Stop!

No! No, no!

Oh, God. I hate that.

Yes.

There can be only one.

Login confirmed.

Connecting.

Reg!

Z, where the hell

have you been, man?

Reg, there's no time.

It's coming down.

I think I found it.

Where is Giovanni?

Zai, you do God's work.

Do not be afraid.

Your Eminence.

Teli us what you found.

The ancient writings I found in Gaza,

I followed them.

They took me to central Europe.

Then I knew I was getting close.

I found a monastery where the monks

studied an ancient text

that spoke of The Source.

And then...

...he appeared.

He has risen.

The Guardian.

Zai, where is

the location of The Source?

I've written the coordinates

down on this map.

The coordinates are--

The coordinates are on...

Okay, you have to get to the monastery.

You have to find the monks

that bear the symbol

of the Brothers of Doleo.

They will help you find The Source.

Z, I'm losing you, mate.

Sh*t yourself.

Get out of there.

Save yourself.

Pray for me, Father.

Zai's no Jack-the-Lad.

He can handle himself.

He's got a shot, right?

Gonna get the signal back.

Requiem aeternam

dona eis, Domine--

Zai--

He's coming.

Zai, get out of there.

There can be only me.

The Quickening!

Quickening.

Joe.

Methos.

What do you got?

The Guardian is awake.

Find MacLeod.

My God.

This is the end of time!

What are you?

I'm The Guardian.

Duncan MacLeod,

you have squandered your precious gift!

You could have ruled the world,

and you pissed it away.

Have a nice day.

The female, Anna...

She's not for you.

What's Anna got to do with this?

Everything.

Come on. Over here.

Are you The One, MacLeod?

MacLeod?

Would you kill to be The One?

Would you kill her, MacLeod?

Hello, Joe!

Joe.

Get in the car.

Get out of here, Joe.

I don't have time for this bullshit.

Get in the car.

What are you doing?

Seek The Source.

Seek The Source.

What?

The Source.

You know what to do.

Find The Elder...

Elder...

Elder.

Who the hell are the Doleo Brothers?

- The Brotherhood of Pain.

- Sounds like a fun bunch.

They're an ancient religious order

in Eastern Europe.

The are not a religious order.

They are an heretical cuIt.

But their Elder might be able to help us.

The Elder corrupted his monks,

turned them from the true faith

during the fall of Rome.

Rome was a long time ago, my friend.

Not for me it wasn't.

Giovanni, this could be it!

Guys, if this Elder can help us,

who gives a toss?

Let's go and find him.

Joe.

Before you get all whacked out,

just listen to me.

Joe, stop the car.

Stop the damn car.

You're a Watcher.

You can't interfere.

I just said "f*** it."

You took an oath.

There is no Watcher

organization anymore.

Most of my people are dead.

You shouldn't have interfered.

If I hadn't, you'd be dead.

Sure, fine. Go ahead.

Go back and let that thing kill you.

What do you have to live for anyway?

He mentioned Anna.

Have you even talked to her?

No, not in months.

Methos and others don't think it's bullshit.

They're looking for The Source.

Oh, The Source.

You can join them

and find out what it's about

and see what it has to do with Anna,

or you can go back

and play with that freak.

It's your call.

Can't believe I'm letting you

drag me into this.

Here, let me do that.

Are you sure you're up for this?

Can't Mrs. MacLeod be nervous?

I know this is going to be

hard to explain, but...

I'm immortal.

I was born in the Highlands

of Scotland in 1592.

So you're not gonna grow old?

This is how I am.

I'm going to grow old, though.

Will you still love me when I'm old?

I'll always love you.

I'm leaving.

I can't stay with you, Duncan.

Why?

You mean everything to me.

But it's not enough.

What do you want from me?

The impossible.

I want a child...

a child.

It's good to see you, G.

Who are you?

Duncan MacLeod.

Of the Clan MacLeod.

May I ask what you're doing here?

Reggie Weller.

My astronomer.

This is Joe Dawson, a friend of mine.

Hey.

Methos.

Been a long time.

This is different.

Times are different, MacLeod.

Yeah. Leather's a really

good look for you, Methos.

Giovanni.

I hear you're on a quest for The Source.

You make it sound so grand.

We are here to get information.

Brave men died to get us this far.

What do you want?

We have come to see your Elder.

We have no Elder.

That went well.

Who's that?

That's my wife.

Hello.

I can explain.

Stop.

The Elder will see you,

now that she is here.

You look like sh*t.

What are you doing here?

Look, I have so much to tell you.

You won't even believe

what's been happening to me.

Lead us.

Duncan, I have visions.

Seriously. I saw this.

I saw you.

I saw all of you.

Come, girl.

I'm near.

There are worse things than death.

Apparently.

What do you want?

We seek The Source.

Are you willing to pay the price?

That's fixed.

Thank you.

Hello.

Yeah, it's a sweet piece,

but this is my beat, okay, Reggie?

Sorry.

What is it?

I don't know.

So you have encountered

The Guardian:

a riddle that cannot be solved...

a force that cannot be defeated.

Man, that's one fast bird.
