Highlander III: The Sorcerer Page #3

A TRANSFORMATION BEGINS. The image of Young Man begins to fade

and is replaced by the HOODED MAN. He LAUGHS LOUDLY as he

holds up his arms as if prompting The Old Man for his

appreciation of the illusion.

OLD MAN:

(hatefully)

Kilvara...

The Hooded Man smiles when he hears his name.

KILVARA:

It flatters me you remember, old one.

It's been what... two hundred years?

OLD MAN:

It's not been long enough. What

witchcraft is this?

KILVARA:

Impressive -- is it not? The problem

is I can only keep the illusion for a

few minutes. I need more power to

hold the form longer. I need the

Highlander. Where is he?

OLD MAN:

I do not know -- and even if I did...

KILVARA:

(cutting him off)

I know. I know-- you would not tell

me. Loyalty -- it really is a

concept that eludes me.

(shrugs his

shoulders)

Oh well -- I shall find him. Time is

on my side.

The Old Man looks sadly at the open door. Kilvara notices and

grins.

KILVARA:

Is this what you're looking for?

Kilvara opens the SACK. Inside it is the head of the Young

Man. Kilvara LAUGHS, a deep guttural laugh. He turns and

starts towards the door. Suddenly he stops and turns back to

face the Old Man.

KILVARA:

(mockingly)

Oh -- I almost forgot. Your head.

OLD MAN:

It does not come off as easily as the

young ones.

KILVARA:

(amused)

Perhaps -- but it comes off none the

less.

With a savage YELL Kilvara draws his sword and lunges at the

Old Man. The Old Man steps aside and Kilvara's sword smashes

down on the table, shattering it into splinters.

The two Horsemen step into the room and watch. Kilvara lunges

again -- and again -- each time the Old Man side-steps him.

Kilvara swings -- the Old Man ducks -- the blade hits the stone

wall -- SPARKS FLY -- ROCK EXPLODES. The Old Man slices his

blade across Kilvara chest. A deep gash is cut -- blood flows.

Kilvara examines the wound.

KILVARA:

You're dead.

With brutal strength Kilvara begins his attack again, whipping

his sword through the air furiously. Their swords cross --

sparks fly. Kilvara is too powerful for the Old Man. All he

can do is back up -- using his sword to block each ferocious

blow. They pass through a large ARCH at the rear of the room.
