One Minute to Midnight

Written by David Tynan | Directed by Dennis Berry

Summary

The Watchers think MacLeod was responsible for the massacre at Joe's execution, so they begin hunting him. Methos, who tends to Joe's wounds, tries to convince MacLeod and Joe to leave town. MacLeod refuses, choosing instead to hunt for the real killer. He finds his old friend Jacob, who began killing Watchers after Horton killed his wife. Meanwhile, Joe and Methos break into Watcher headquarters, and Joe makes a deal for MacLeod's life, saying he'll deliver the real killer. So when MacLeod convinces Jacob to meet with Joe, Joe betrays him to the Watchers, who take Jacob's head. MacLeod goes after the head Watcher for revenge, but Joe convinces him that the cycle of hatred has to end. MacLeod walks away.
