Finale, parts 1 & 2


Summary

Part 1 Written by David Tynan | Directed by Mario Azzopardi

Kalas escapes from prison with the accidental help of Amanda, who intended to kill him as a favor to MacLeod. MacLeod and Amanda begin the hunt for Kalas, who is determined to destroy everything the Highlander loves. He kidnaps Amanda, but she escapes. Meanwhile, Methos and Joe try to convince Don's widow, Christine, not to reveal the existence of immortals to the world. She ignores their pleas and goes to the newspapers with a CD-ROM that catalogues all the immortals. In a last, desperate attempt to stop Christine, Joe tries to shoot her, but MacLeod jumps in the way and takes the shot.

Part 2 Written by David Tynan | Directed by Dennis Berry

Kalas kills Christine and a newspaper editor, stealing the Watcher CD. He tells MacLeod that if Mac takes his head, the CD's information will be sent to every major news agency on the planet. Methos tries to convince MacLeod that all things change and he should not sacrifice his head to keep the immortals' existence a secret. The final fight between MacLeod and Kalas takes place on the Eifel Tower, and after MacLeod wins, the tower amplifies the Quickening and shorts out electricity in most of Paris -- it also destroys Kalas' computer and the CD.


Quotes

Methos: "Immortals are part of history. They are part of the truth."

Methos: "Give me a break, will you. What did you expect? Einstein, Freud, Budda? Sorry Joe, I'm just a guy."

Methos: "People living forever, running around cutting each other's heads off with swords ... It'll be filed away with alien abductions and Elvis sightings."

Joe: "History's written. People have been known to kill the messenger who waltzes in with a new version of the truth."
Methos: "Why would I tell the truth?"

Methos: "I was in Rome. 93 A.D. Colliseum. I saw Christians facing the lions. Some of them looked almost happy to die for their faith."
MacLeod: Your point? Or are we just strolling down memory lane?"
Methos: That afterwards, the only ones looking happy were the lions."

Methos: "If you die, Amanda will be free to date."
