An immortal claiming to be Methos approaches Richie
with a message of peace for all immortals, and Richie becomes his newest
student. MacLeod convinces the real Methos to reveal himself to Richie --
to expose the other as a fraud -- but MacLeod's student says he cares for
the message, not the name behind it. Fake Methos also tries to convert
MacLeod, and although he makes MacLeod stop and think, the Highlander
doesn't give up his sword. Then, an old foe of MacLeod's takes the fake
Methos' head and goes after Richie, who's unarmed. Methos prods MacLeod
into going to Richie's rescue, and after MacLeod throws Richie a sword in
the midst of a fight, Richie takes the immortal's head.
Methos: "Hey, grab a beer. There's a cold one in the fridge."
MacLeod: "Yeah, I know. It's my fridge. I thought you were out
wandering the world."
Methos: "In Tibet. Yak butter plays hell with the
digestion."
Methos: "Look, there are enough people out there who want my
head for who I am. I say if he wants to play Methos, let him."
Methos: "So, Richie's his newest disciple. Isn't that cute."
Joe: "And I suppose you would know exactly what to do."
Methos: "Oh, yeah. Standard response to unforseen dilemmas
perfected over many centuries."
Joe: "What?"
Methos: "Nothing."
Methos: "OK, so there's this Spanish guy, Alejandro Diego
Spenofa. One day, he gets called in by the Inquisition for questioning --
red-hot pins, tongs, usual drill. Now, all he has to do is say 'no.' Very
simple word. They take his home, his money, his lands, but he will not
give in."
Joe: "And so what happened?"
Methos: "He died screaming in agony. But he kept his
integrity."
Richie: "Old timer, you got any words of wisdom for me?"
Methos: "Nope."
