Highlander III: The Sorcerer Page #11

MEDICAL EXAMINER

Well, it wasn't easy but I finally

determined the cause of death.

Bedsoe doesn't find any humor is this. Jennifer goes over to

the counter and looks through the personal affects.

BEDSOE:

What else?

MEDICAL EXAMINER

Nothing. Besides not having a head

he's in perfect health. No cavities.

No broken bones. Have you found out

who he is?

BEDSOE:

He's nobody. The police, the F.B.I,

Interpol -- nobody has record of this

guy. It's like he was never born.

Jennifer is examining the Horseman's jacket.

JENNIFER:

That's exactly what Scotland Yard

said about the person we found at the

site.

Bedsoe walks over to Jennifer.

BEDSOE:

What do you think?

JENNIFER:

They appear to be authentic.

BEDSOE:

Why are people walking around New

York with swords, dressed in mid evil

clothing?

JENNIFER:

Well, technically it's not mid evil -

- it's Renaissance.

45

BEDSOE:

Whatever -- it's old clothing, right?

This is some weird sh*t.

Detective Greley enters.

DETECTIVE GRELEY

Hey Lieutenant, the boys in robbery

have something I think you should

look at.

BEDSOE:

What is it?

DETECTIVE GRELEY

A tape from the surveillance camera

at the First National Bank. It was

robbed this morning.

BEDSOE:

Really? I want to make sure that I

understand what you're telling me,

Greley. A crime was committed in New

York City? That is news.

DETECTIVE GRELEY

The guy had a sword and was dressed

like this guy.

Bedsoe's interest is peaked. He looks at Jennifer.

DETECTIVE GRELEY

That's not all, Lieutenant. Wait

until you see the tape. It's

unbelievable.

BEDSOE:

(to Jennifer)

I'd like you to see this.

CUT TO:

INT. CONFERENCE ROOM, POLICE STATION - AFTERNOON

CLOSE ON TELEVISION SCREEN. We see Kilvara walking towards the

GUARD with his sword. The GUARD fires at him. Kilvara moves

towards him again. The Guard FIRES again. Kilvara falls to

the ground.

The CAMERA PULLS BACK to show Bedsoe, Jennifer, Greley and

several other Detectives looking at the tape.

ROBBERY DETECTIVE

Watch this part.

46

On the Television we see Kilvara reach up and grab the Guard,

then stand up unharmed. Bedsoe cannot believe what he has

seen.

BEDSOE:

What the hell. What is this? A

joke?

ROBBERY DETECTIVE

No joke, Lieutenant.

BEDSOE:

Where's the guy we saw in the

beginning -- what's his name...?

ROBBERY DETECTIVE

Parker. We found him knocked out in

the can.

BEDSOE:

If he was knocked out in the can how

could be walking across the lobby?

The robbery detective shrugs his shoulders.

ROBBERY DETECTIVE

Hey, I don't have answers for this.

I just brought you down here because

of the sword.

BEDSOE:

Am I supposed to believe that this

guy got shot in the chest six times

at point blank range and just got up

and walked out?

ROBBERY DETECTIVE

You can believe what you want. You

saw the tape.

Bedsoe walks out of the room. Jennifer follows.

INT. HALLWAY - DAY

Jennifer catches up to Bedsoe.

BEDSOE:

You didn't see this. Understand?

JENNIFER:

Yes.

47

(beat)

That guy you were talking to upstairs

-- Nash. You think he knows what's

going on?

BEDSOE:

Let me worry about Nash.

CUT TO:

EXT. CENTRAL PARK - DAY

Macleod walks along a gravel path. He stops and looks behind

him.

MACLEOD'S POV

Of the Detective trying his best not to be seen.

Macleod continues to walk. He stops at a large POND. CHILDERN

play, sailing miniature SAILING SHIPS. Macleod stares at the

ships -- his mind drifts.

CLOSE ON MINITURE SAILING SHIP

It moves over the choppy water, bobbing up and down behind the

waves. It disappears behind a wall of water -- when it

reappears...

CUT TO:

EXT. SAILING SHIP - DAY

A real Eighteenth century sailing ship, churning the rough

water of the Atlantic.

Macleod stands on the deck, staring out at the horizon. A spray

of water shoots over the side drenching him. He closes his

eyes and grins.

MAN'S VOICE

You're going to fall over you damn

fool.

Macleod turns around to find a rather pale Cavanaugh standing

behind him.

MCCLEOD:

(surprised)

Thomas. What are you doing here?

48

CAVANAUGH:

You didn't think I'd let you go off

by yourself, did you?

Macleod embraces him.

MCCLEOD:

You're looking a wee bit green,

Thomas.

CAVANAUGH:

The sea and I don't agree with each

other. Where we off to?

MCCLEOD:

France.

CAVANAUGH:

(suddenly feeling

sicker)

How long is the voyage?

MCCLEOD:

Not long. We should arrive in the

morning.

(amused)

Are you going to be alright?

CAVANAUGH:

Me? Of course.

The ship rolls up over a wave. Cavanaugh's face cringes.

CAVANAUGH:

Oh, Lord have mercy.

Cavanaugh bends over the rail dropping out of FRAME. Macleod

grins as he watches him. Slowly his grins fades -- the sight

of Cavanaugh's illness affects him. Macleod holds his stomach,

his cheeks bulge.

MCCLEOD:

Oh no.

Macleod bends over the rail and out of FRAME.

CUT TO:

EXT. PARIS - DAY

A Horse-drawn COACH arrives. TRAVELERS disembark. Among them

is Macleod and Cavanaugh. A small, street-wise man named

GASTON approaches them.
