CHARLIE - [appreciative] You've done this before.

MacLEOD - [looks up to see Charlie entering] Get out of here, Charlie.

[MacLeod senses the BUZZ.]

MacLEOD - [tight] Whatever happens, don't come after me. [cold] This is mine.

[Charlie nods. MacLeod moves into the darkness. Charlie watches him a beat.]

[MacLeod moves deeper into the warehouse, drawing his sword. As he nears a large wooden crate, an instinct tells him to duck as Xavier attacks from the shadows, his sword taking a chunk from the crate over MacLeod's head. MacLeod parries and moves back. Xavier moves to attack again.]

CHARLIE - [reacts to the sound of the sword fight, with sarcasm] Don't come after me. [beat] Right. [He moves toward the sound.]

[MacLeod and Xavier battle, hacking into crates and posts. Xavier swings with his sword, slashing MacLeod's belly and cutting his arm. MacLeod's sword goes flying. MacLeod does a roll to reach his sword, comes up with it just in time to fend off another sword blow. As they fight, Charlie steps into the battle zone. He stares in awe, as for the first time he sees two Immortals in full killing mode, sparks flying from their weapons.]

CHARLIE - Holy sheei . . .
