Ep 21. Nowhere to Run

In Highlander: The Series season 1 episode 21, titled "Nowhere to Run," we see Duncan MacLeod, a 400-year-old immortal, being pursued by two men in a car. He dodges them expertly and manages to escape, but not before they get a good look at him. The men are actually Watchers, a secret organization that has been observing immortals for centuries. They believe that Duncan is the only immortal left, and they want to keep an eye on him to see if he is the one who will ultimately win the "Game," a battle between immortals to be the last one standing and claim "The Prize."

Duncan is unaware of the Watchers' existence and continues with his daily life, which includes running his antiques shop and spending time with his girlfriend Tessa. However, the Watchers are not the only ones after Duncan. He is also being hunted by Immortal Andrew Cord, a former friend who has turned into an enemy. Cord wants to kill Duncan to gain his power, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.

As Duncan goes about his day, he is constantly on high alert, knowing that danger could lurk around every corner. He begins to feel trapped, with nowhere to run and no one to turn to for help. Tessa tries to comfort him, but Duncan knows that he has to face his enemies alone.

Desperate for a way out, Duncan turns to an unlikely ally: Joe Dawson, a Watcher who has been assigned to keep tabs on him. Joe is different from the other Watchers, who view immortals as nothing more than subjects to observe. He has a genuine friendship with Duncan and wants to help him in any way he can.

Together, Duncan and Joe come up with a plan to lure Cord out into the open, using a rare antique as bait. The plan works, and Cord shows up at Duncan's shop, ready to fight. The two immortals engage in a fierce battle, with Cord gaining the upper hand at first. However, Duncan is able to turn the tables and ultimately emerges victorious.

With Cord defeated, Duncan is finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. However, he knows that his life as an immortal will never be easy. He still has enemies out there who will stop at nothing to kill him and take his power. But for now, he can relax and enjoy the knowledge that he has come out on top once again.
