"One Minute to Midnight"
Methos: It's okay. It's only me. Couldn't get grapes.
Joe: Thanks.
Methos: How's the patient?
Duncan: Well, hates the food, criticizes the wine. I'd say he's back to normal.
Methos: I suppose an improvement was too much to ask for. Let's have a look at ya.
Joe: Yes, doctor.
Methos: You know, considering how shot to pieces you were, it's amazing you're still alive.
Joe: Ow! Considering who's treating me, I'd say it's a miracle. Watch out. Ah! Where did you say you studied medicine?
Methos: Heidelberg, fourteen fifty-three.
Joe: Did you major in medicine or dueling?
Methos: Both. Couple more day's you'll give it a travel.
Joe: Well, you don't have to look quiet so happy about it.
Methos: You know that run in you had with the Watchers the other night?
Duncan: Yeah?
Methos: Jean Dumar, he was killed the same night. I'm sorry, Joe, I know he was a friend of yours.
Duncan: It was the other Immortal.
Methos: Yeah, well you try telling that to Shapiro, because he'd convinced it was you. Really, guys, the time's come for you two to start a new life somewhere. Bora-Bora is very nice this time of year.
Duncan: Yeah, well, send me a post card; I'm not leaving.
Methos: Does the term self preservation mean anything to you, MacLeod? Look, you are under a death sentence!
Duncan: Yeah, and I will be until they figure out that I'm not the killer. Where's Shapiro?
Methos: Right at the moment, busy trying to kill you.
Duncan: Where's Shapiro?
Joe: Look, don't make it easy for him, Mac.
Duncan: Look, I'm making it easy for him because that's where the killer will go. Now, where is he?
Methos: They're hiding out in a mortuary on the left bank.

Joe: Forget it. The guy's a murderer. I won't meet him.
Duncan: Horton killed Irena in front of him. Then he tried to kill Jacob. He thinks you're all to blame.
Joe: So, that gives him a license to kill.
Duncan: Look, Joe, just meet with him. Talk to him. Show him you're not like Horton.
Joe: People are dead, MacLeod! My friends! Because he thinks we're responsible.
Duncan: Well, can you blame him? Watchers killed his wife.
Joe: Horton killed his wife!
Duncan: Horton was a Watcher!
Joe: Horton is dead! And your friend is still killing. So when does this stop, MacLeod? When he's dead, or when we are?
Duncan: Look, all I know is, I'm tired of losing friends! We'll find another way!
Joe: You know, I don't think there is another way.
Methos: Joe! Joe, we have to stop this, 'cause otherwise more people are gonna die.
Joe: We?
Methos: Yeah. Hey, I wear one of these too, okay? Or did you forget that?
Joe: I didn't forget. But we both know what you really are.
Duncan: Oh, come on, Dawson. Come on...
Methos: Mac! Mac! Look, I'll talk to him.
Duncan: Yeah, well you better because if Shapiro or Jacob puts a bullet in his head, he's not the type to get born again.
* * *
Joe: (Methos comes up behind Joe.) Dammit! Don't do that!
Methos: Look at that. Watchers, afraid they're going to be killed by Immortals, holed up in a funeral home. Is it just me or is there some cosmic irony in that?
Joe: I think it's just you. I'm not laughing. Are you trying to give me a coronary?
Methos: No, just making a point. If Shapiro's men see you, they're going to kill you, man.
Joe: Yeah, maybe.
Methos: Has everyone gone crazy? Did you hear what I said?
Joe: I have got to convince Shapiro that it's Jacob killing Watchers and not MacLeod.
Methos: I see. Well, to do that, you have to talk to him. They're not going to let you near the guy.
Joe: No, not on my own... Adam.
Methos: No. Give me one good reason.
Joe: Revenge.
Methos: Gave it up.
Joe: Well, then save my ass.
Methos: We're not that close.
Joe: Well, how about MacLeod? The Watchers want to kill him, and they eventually will kill him unless he learns the truth about who killed his son.
Methos: But then they go after Jacob. The guard is armed. There's probably half a dozen of them on the roof as well.
Joe: Not to mention the new password that we don't know about.
Methos: I wouldn't worry about the password. They're going to shoot you on sight anyway.
Joe: You know, I think I've had just about as much irony for one day as I can take. What we have to do is figure out a way to get inside.
Methos: Brilliant. Got any ideas?
Joe: Ironically enough, I do.
* * *
Methos: 'Scuse me. Adam Pierson, uh, I guess you know who this is.
Gaurd: You saved us a lot of trouble, Pierson. How did you get him?
Methos: Try that the other way around. (Joe reveals a gun.)
Joe: You get Shapiro for me.
Methos: Would you be careful with that thing; it might go off.
Joe: Yeah, what a good place for it. Ha! I mean, consider the irony. Come on.
* * *
Duncan: How could you let him do that?
Methos: It was a simple choice: Jacob Galati or you, and since I don't give a damn about Jacob Galati, it wasn't that difficult to make it.
Duncan: Yeah, I guess it wasn't!
Methos: I'm a pragmatist, MacLeod. The Watchers wanted the real killer, and I want to keep you alive. You can't have it both ways.
Duncan: No, you're right. You can't have it both ways. You're either one of them or you're one of us. Got it?
* * *
Methos: Mac! Mac... I'm sorry.
Duncan: Sorry?
Joe: Mac, Mac, I was just supposed to get him there so they could talk to him. Jack set me up! They weren't supposed to kill him; you've got to believe me!
Duncan: It doesn't matter what I believe.
Joe: It does to me!
Duncan: Either way, either way he's dead. (Duncan begins to walk away.)
Joe: I did it to save you! Where are you going? It can be over now; it's gotta be over! Stop him! Stop him!
Methos: Why?
Joe: Well, if he goes after Shapiro, the Watchers are gonna go after him.
Methos: Well, what about you, Joe? Who do you go after? I am five thousand years old; I don't know who I am anymore. I just helped set up one of my own.
Joe: I did not know they were gonna kill him.
Methos: You keep telling yourself that, Joe, maybe you'll start to believe it.
