The Valkyrie

Written by James Thorpe | Directed by Richard Martin

Summary

Ingrid, an old friend of MacLeod's, is on a quest to rid the world of evil people. She failed to kill Hitler during World War II, and her guilt convinces her not to make the same mistake again. She kills a Russian, Stenonofich, in Moscow, and then comes to Seacouver to kill a white supremist named Wilkinson. MacLeod stops her first attempt and attracts the attention of an Interpol officer, who first questions him and then arrests him. Methos, posing as MacLeod's lawyer, gets him out of the latter situation. MacLeod says he wants to stop Ingrid but he doesn't know how, and Methos tries to convince him that Ingrid is no better than those she has killed. MacLeod is forced to take Ingrid's head at Wilkinson's speech to stop her from using a bomb to kill everyone in the room.
