Season two of
Highlander gets under way as Immortal Duncan MacLeod (
Adrian Paul) returns to Canada, still searching for the murderers of his mentor, Darius. Using a book given to him by Darius as a clue, Duncan shows up at the bookstore run by Joe Dawson (Jim Byrnes, in his first series appearance). Dawson, it turns out, is a member of the Watchers, a group of mortals who have been keeping track of Immortal activities for hundreds of years. At first believing that Dawson was in on Darius' killing, Duncan is finally guided toward the genuine culprit. This episode includes "flashbacks" from the first-season
Highlander installments "
Mountain Men" and "
The Hunters." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
