Aye, blossom.

The way you like it.

You can do that to me

forever, my lord.

Will you, Connor?

Aye, blossom. I will.

Greetings.

I am Juan Sanchez

Villa-Lobos Ramirez...

chief metallurgist

to King Charles V of Spain...

and I'm at your service.

Who?

What do you want?

You.

You're Connor Macleod.

Maybe I am and--

You're Connor Macleod,

wounded in battle...

and driven from your village

five years ago.

Connor!

Heather, go in the house.

I'll stay right here.

Do as I say, woman!

The sensation you're feeling

is the quickening.

Who are you?

We are the same, Macleod!

We are brothers!

I knew you guys

were bottle-fed.

Well, there's not a lot

I can do about it, pal.

See what I'm up against?

His Vietnamese neighbor

ate his dog.

Uh...

that's confidential.

How are things

in forensics?

Dull. How about lunch?

Lunch? It's a good idea.

Who pays?

Me.

You're on.

By the way, Frank...

the hairs in the Moretti case...

matched up.

Oh, I forgot my purse.

I'll meet you outside.

Garfield, Brenda and I

are going to lunch.

Sometimes, Macleod...

the sharpest blade is not enough.

# B-A-L-A-N-C-E

Balance ##

I don't like boats!

I don't like water!

I'm a man, not a fish.

Oh, you complain endlessly.

You look like a woman,

you stupid haggis.

Haggis? What is haggis?

Sheep's stomach stuffed

with meat and barley.

And what do you

do with it?

You eat it.

How revolting.

Be still.

You'll tip us over!

So?

I cannot swim,

you Spanish peacock.

I'm not Spanish.

I'm Egyptian.

You said you were

from Spain! Liar!

You have the manners

of a goat...

and you smell like dung.

And you have no knowledge

whatsoever of your potential.

Now, get out!

No!

Help!

Help! Help!

Help!

Help me, I'm drowning!

You can't drown, you fool.

You're immortal!

I'm drowning!

Come help!

# We ask you...

Heavenly Father ##

I'm alive.

I can breathe.

I'll slice you in half.

Hah!

Crude and slow, clansman.

Your attack was no better

than that of a clumsy child.

This cannot be.

It's the devil's work.

You cannot die, Macleod.

Accept it.

I hate you.

Good.

That is a perfect

way to start.

Tell me...

how did it happen,

for God's sake?

Why does the sun

come up, hmm?

Or are the stars just pinholes

in the curtain of night?

Who knows?

What I do know is...

because you were

born different...

men will fear you,

try to drive you away...

Iike the people

of your village.

You must learn to conceal

your special gift...

and harness your power...

until the time

of the gathering.

What gathering?

When only a few of us

are left...

we will feel

an irresistible pull...

towards a faraway land...

to fight for the prize.

Come on!

Faster!
