Especially the samurai.

Very nice.

Shall we have a toast?

Yes.

Brandy.

Bottled in 1783.

Wow. That's old.

Mozart wrote

his great mass.

The Montgolfier Brothers went up...

in their first balloon.

And England recognized...

the independence

of the United States.

Is that right?

Yes.

What's that?

It's for you.

Can I open it?

If you like.

You bastard.

Where did you find this?

I have an extensive library.

Odd thing.

Your bio doesn't

mention the Met.

It says you work

for the police...

in forensics.

Are you and Moran

setting me up?

I don't work for Moran.

Then why is that bald policeman...

sitting outside

watching your apartment?

You remember him.

Moran's had him tailing me.

What are you going to do?

Question is,

what are you going to do?

Turn off the tape or

shoot me with the .45?

I'm not looking

for a killer.

I'm looking for a sword.

The one used on Fasil.

- I only want to see the samurai.

- Why?

Because it's not

supposed to exist.

I dated the blade

at 600 B.C.

The metal had been

folded 200 times.

The Japanese didn't make swords

like that till the Middle Ages.

So where the hell

did it come from?

If I could verify

its existence...

it would be like

discovering a 747...

a thousand years

before the Wright Brothers ever flew.

This is crazy.

Wait a minute, Nash.

I want some answers.

You want?

Don't you ever

think about anything...

except what you want?

You must leave her, brother.

# There's no time for us #

# There's no place for us #

# What is this thing

that fills our dreams #

# Yet slips away from us? #

# Who wants to live forever? #

# Who wants to live forever? #

# There's no chance for us #

# It's all decided for us #

# This world has

only one sweet moment #

# Set aside for us #

Heather!

# Who wants to live forever? #

# Who wants to live forever? #

Heather!

Connor, I'm here!

# Who dares to love forever #

# When love must die? ##

My beautiful man.

My husband.

I am that, my love.

I've never really known...

What?

Why you stayed.

Because I love you

as much now...

as the first day we met.

And I love you.

I don't want to die.

I want to stay

with you forever.

I want that too.

Will you do something

for me, Connor?

What, lass?

In the years to come,

will you light a candle...

and remember me

on my birthday?

Aye, love. I will.

I wanted to have

your children.

They would have been

strong and fine.

Don't see me, Connor.

Let me die in peace.

Where are we?

We're in the highlands.

Where else?

Running down a mountainside.

The sun is shining.

It's not cold.

You've got your sheepskins on...

and the boots

I made for you.

Good night,

my bonny Heather.
