Highlander: Season Five
(1996-1997)

"He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander. Born in 1592 in the Highlands of Scotland and he is still alive. He is Immortal. For 400 years
he's been a warrior, a lover, a wanderer, constantly facing other Immortals in combat to the death. The winner
takes his enemy's head and with it, his power. I'm a watcher, part of the secret society of men and women who observe and
 record, but never interfere. We know the truth about Immortals. In the end there can be only one.
May it be Duncan MacLeod." (Joe Dawson)
