Highlander: The Source

Wait!

Here, let me do that.

You sure you are up for this?

Can't Mrs. MacLeod be nervous?

Anna...

- 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.

Fucking hell, Methos!

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. Nah, he's overdue.

Isn't your friend MacLeod there? Can't he help?

MacLeod is...

not the man he once was.

Well, just try.

- I can't stay with you Duncan. - Why?

Duncan.

Hey. Hey you.

Please, something to eat.

You're kind, lady. Thank you. Thank you.

- Hey! Stop! - No! No, no, no! No!

Food. Food.

Thank you.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Is it good? - Uh-huh.

Oh, God, I hate that.

Yes.

- There can be only one. - Voice match accepted.

Login confirmed.

- Connecting. - Yes!

Signal acquired.

- Are you sure it's only a few days until the alignment is complete? - Guys!

- Come on, come on! - Yes.

- Four days at most. - Damn it!

They are going crazy out there.

Source better be some big medicine, or else we're all going down the toilet.

- 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? - What have you found Zai?

I found ancient writings in Gaza.

I followed them, they took me to central Europe.

And I found the location of the Source.

Z! I'm losing you mate. Try and stabilize your signal.

- Zai, easy, okay? From the beginning. - I can't hear you. I can't hear you.

Zai, you do God's work.

- Don't be afraid. - Your Eminence.

Tell 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.

One of the monks took me to a place where it last happened over 10,000 years ago.

I could feel the power of this place.

And then, he appeared.

So I ran. And I ran.

He has risen.

The Guardian.

Signal failure.

Reacquiring signal. Signal reacquired.

- I always thought the Guardian was bullshit. - He's the immortal antichrist.

The false prophet created in evil.

Well if he's such a bad boy, then why didn't he take Zai's head?

To get to us. He knows Zai's not alone.

Do you think he knows we are looking for the Source?

- He must. - Signal acquired.

- He's more than Immortal. - Zai, where is the location of the Source?

- He's like... like death. - Zai, are you in danger?

- Zai! The location. - He's coming.

- Zai! Get out of there! - What have you learnt? Give us something.

I've written the co-ordinates down on this map. The co-ordinates are...

The co-ordinates 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.

- Zai, save yourself. Get out of there! Zai! - Zai, we have enough. Save yourself!

Pray for me, Father.

Reg.

Can you get the signal back? Did you get the signal back?

- Zai! - Zai!

What are the Delio Brothers?

Brotherhood of pain.

Sounds like a fun bunch.

They're an ancient religious order in estern Europe.

They are not a religious order!

They are an heretical cult.

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's a long time ago my friend.

Not for me, it wasn't.

- Giovanni, this could be it! - Guys!

If this Elder could help us, who gives a toss?

Let's go and find him.

Zai's no Jack-the-Lad.

He can handle himself. I mean, he's got a shot, right?

- Joe. - Methos! What do you got?

The Guardian is awake. Find MacLeod.

There can be only me.

Hello.

This is the end of time!

You think I'm mad? Maybe a little bit crazy.

What are you?

I'm the Guardian.

Question is who are you?

- I'm Duncan MacLeod. - I'm Duncan MacLeod.

I'm 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?

Nothing. Everything.

- It's time for me and you to dance. - In that outfit?

Foreplay.

Let's go.

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.

- 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 fuck 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. And don't give me any of that end-of-days bullshit.

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 its about.

And see what it has to do with Anna.

Or you can go back and play with that freak. It's your call.

I can't believe I'm letting you drag me into this.

I know this is going to be hard to explain, but... I'm immortal.

It's just a dream.

I was born in the Highlands of Scotland in 1592.

It's more than a dream, Duncan.

Anna.

Nothing will hurt you.

- So you're not going to 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 mean I mean everything to you and I'm not enough?

- Make sense, Anna. - I can't!

What do you want from me?

The impossible.

I want a child.

A child...

It's good to see you, G.

- Who are you? - I'm Duncan MacLeod.

MacLeod, MacLeod. May I ask you what you're doing here?

- Reggie Weller. - My astronomer.

And part time cultural stereotype.

- Sure, you are. - Funny! Who's that?

It's 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.

Brothers of Doleo.

Rumour has it they've been governed by the same Elder for thousands of years.

- One of us? - I'm thinking so.

Well let's find out.

What's a man of the cloth doing on the quest for the Source?

- I am here for the greater glory of God. - What if you don't like what you find?

You assume there will be an inherent contradiction between what we will encounter and the Gospel.

- I know that will not be the case. - You seem very certain of that.
