Season Two

The Watchers

Complete with new titles and a different narration to open it, the programme returns with the conclusion of last season's cliffhanger ending. MacLeod meets Joe Dawson, a Watcher who has been following his exploits and travels for fifteen years. The Watchers belong to a secret organisation which has existed for centuries. They know all about the immortals and the Quickening, but some of their number, under Horton, have gone rogue and see the immortals as a threat to the continued freedom of ordinary Mankind, and plan to stop them. It was Horton who murdered Darius, and very nearly FitzCann and MacLeod, too. And now, as the trail leads Mac, Tessa and Richie back to their old home in the US, a showdown between the evil Horton and Duncan MacLeod is inevitable. Afterwards, the real Watchers vanish, leaving no trace behind. But they are still watching...
