He hides his sword and is arrested by the police while leaving the stadium.

Never lose your temper.

If your head comes away

from your neck...

it's over.

Never overextend

your thrust.

You're vulnerable and...

off balance.

Connor! Ha ha ha!

Heather, please.

If it came down to us two,

would you take my head?

We must fight

until only one remains.

You are safe only on holy ground.

None of us will violate that law.

It's tradition.

Now for the last.

Trust me.

Let yourself

feel the stag.

His heart...

beating.

His blood...coursing.

Feel?

Come on!

I feel him.

Macleod, come on!

I feel him!

Come on!

Ha ha ha!

I feel him!

Come on, haggis!

Macleod.

This is the quickening.

Yeah!

Now, pendejo...

shall we see what sort of

swordsman you've become?

En garde!

Very good.

Give me your hand, brother.

That one there.

How much is it?

Put him in.

But what I want is a family.

You cannot have a family.

We cannot have children.

That won't please Heather.

I'll tell you that

for nothing.

He's full of life.

Connor!

Here's dinner!

I'll be off now.

I fancy buying

a new dress.

Oh, you little devils!

Go on!

She's beautiful.

You must leave her,

brother.

Macleod.

I was born 2,437 years ago.

In that time,

I've had three wives.

The last was Shakiko,

a Japanese princess.

Her father, Masamune, a genius...

made this for me...

in 593 B.C.

It is the only one

of its kind...

Iike his daughter.

When Shakiko died,

I was shattered.

I would save you

that pain.

Please.

Let Heather go.

When we first met,

you felt ill, remember?

That wasn't the first time...

you felt

that sensation, was it?

No.

When the Macleods

fought the Frazers...

and a black knight...

I felt it then.

Only it was more painful.

That black knight

was the Kurgan.

It's because of him

that I sought you out.

Who is the Kurgan?

Where does

he come from?

The Kurgans were

an ancient people...

from the steppes

of Russia.

For amusement,

they tossed children...

into pits with hungry dogs

to fight for meat.

The Kurgan.

He is the strongest

of the immortals.

He is the perfect warrior.

If he wins the prize...

mortal man would suffer

an eternity of darkness.

How do you fight

such a savage?

Hmm. With heart,

faith, and steel.

In the end,

there can be only one.

very dangerous for you.

Well, I was very much in love...

with her, my dear.

She was the only thing

on my mind.

So, holding the rose

in my teeth...

I climbed up on the rooftop,

lowered a rope...

and swung in

through the open window.

Unfortunately, the lady

was no longer there.

What did you do?

I introduced myself...

to the lady that was there.

She was most helpful.

Would you like

some more wine?

Yes, please.

Heather.

Get out!

What's wrong?
