[MacLeod gets in, and it pulls away into the night.]

[A beat later, Renee slips from the dojo. She sees his car going, quickly jumps into her own sedan to follow him -- but it won't start. She jumps out and lifts the hood--]

BACK to transcript.


SCENE FOUR


HORTON - How can you eat at a time like this?

CHARLIE - As soon as I get out of here.

BACK to transcript.


SCENE SIX


CHARLIE - After all this. You're gonna let some bureaucratic need-to-know bullcrap get in the way. [beat] It's gotta be you're under some kind of orders... [beat] Right?

MacLEOD - You're a smart guy, Charlie.

CHARLIE - [not giving up] What was it, a new kind of body armor? Kevlar? Ceramics? What?

EXT. CANAL – DAY – CONTINUOUS

[MacLeod turns toward the barge. As she moves after him, he stops for a moment and just stares at it. Something in his face speaks volumes.]

[MacLeod nods. She sees his face, knows well enough to leave this one alone.]

RENEE - Timing...

BACK to transcript.


SCENE TEN

RENEE - [suspicious] There's more to it, isn't there?

[The camera pans the small crowd of people approaching. In the back of the crowd, almost hidden from view, the camera finds a cane. It moves up the cane to find Joe Dawson... Watching.]

MAURICE - It seems like forever.

SCENE SEVENTEEN


[Renee throws MacLeod a questioning look regarding Maurice.]

MacLEOD - Don't even ask.

[MacLeod reaches for a melon. Maurice reacts with some shock.]

MAURICE - Don't... [taking it from him] You're lucky I'm here. This is no melon. This is a potato. [reaching for another] This is a melon. [smelling it] Such flavor... such bouquet... such...

MacLEOD - It's a melon, Maurice.

MAURICE - To you, maybe, but to me who was once a chef at Pyramide under the great Fernand Point, it is a symphony of delight.

MacLEOD - Go do something, Maurice.

MAURICE - But I was going to help you shop.

MacLEOD - Go buy some wine for the cellar.

MAURICE - Ah! But with what?

BACK to transcript.


SCENE EIGHTEEN


HORTON - [with an edge] We're planning the raid.

XAVIER - [continues] You're in the Caspian Sea. The sun is shining. A two-thousand-pound beluga sturgeon is yielding her life to offer a delicacy that melts like butter on the tongue. It's poetry.

HORTON - Enough. This is about MacLeod. You still want his head, don't you?

BACK to transcript.


SCENE NINETEEN


RENEE - [to herself] It's not me I'm worried about.

MAURICE - Very rare. Only for the Shah and the Ayatollah. It would have to be smuggled goods. Completely illegal to sell.

MacLEOD - But sold.

MAURICE - Only by a handful of unscrupulous merchants. [beat] Who'd never talk to a stranger.

MacLEOD - How about to a famous chef?

BACK to transcript.


SCENE TWENTY-TWO


MacLEOD - It's outside. [beat] Live... and it's yours.

[MacLeod moves into the room, eyes tracking every corner.]

XAVIER - I intend to.
