In Highlander season 2 episode 17, titled "Warmonger," we follow Duncan MacLeod as he travels to a war-torn African country to prevent a ruthless warlord from gaining control of a powerful weapon.
The episode opens with MacLeod meeting with his friend, Rachel, who has been drawn to Africa to provide medical care to the war-torn country. As they catch up, MacLeod is introduced to Rachel's colleague, a young African boy named Sam.
Sam tells MacLeod and Rachel about a nearby village that has been attacked by the warlord, General Kahn, who is said to be seeking a powerful weapon that could give him control of the entire country.
MacLeod decides to investigate and travels to the village, where he finds evidence of the attack and learns that the weapon Kahn is seeking is a portable nuclear device.
MacLeod meets with the village chief, who tells him that they have found someone who claims to know the location of the weapon and has offered to reveal it for a price. MacLeod is suspicious of the man, believing that he may be working with Kahn, but decides to follow up on the lead.
He sets out with a group of mercenaries, led by a man named Slan, to retrieve the weapon. Along the way, they are attacked by Kahn's men and forced to take a detour through the jungle.
As they move deeper into the jungle, MacLeod grows increasingly concerned about Slan's true motives. He suspects that Slan may be working with Kahn and is only interested in the weapon for himself.
His suspicions are confirmed when Slan tries to take the weapon for himself. MacLeod and Sam manage to outmaneuver Slan and retrieve the weapon.
They return to the village, but they are not out of danger yet. Kahn and his men arrive and attack the village, determined to take the weapon for themselves.
In a thrilling battle, MacLeod and the villagers fight off the attackers and manage to disable the device before it can be used as a weapon of mass destruction.
In the aftermath, MacLeod reflects on the devastation that war and greed can bring, and he decides to stay in Africa to help rebuild and provide aid to those in need.
