EXT. GAZEBO BY THE SEA - NORMANDY - 1660 - DAY

[MacLeod rides over to the little gazebo where Louise's easel and paints are set up. He dismounts and unstraps a 17th century picnic basket and blanket.]

MacLEOD - [calling] Where's my starving artist?

[MacLEOD puts the basket and blanket down in the gazebo and scans the immediate environs.]

MacLEOD - (CONT'D) [louder] Louise?

[MacLEOD races towards the scene.]

 

EXT. WATER'S EDGE - NORMANDY - 1660 - DAY

[The PEOPLE are gathered around the body of a drowned woman.]

MacLEOD - [pushing through] Let me through. What has happened?

WOMAN - It is a drowning, Sir. Thomas found her.

MacLEOD - No...

WOMAN - [with pity] And she was so young.

[MacLEOD pushes closer for a look. THE CORPSE, soaking wet, is clad in a familiar dress. It's Louise. MacLEOD falls to his knees beside the body, pulling her into his arms.]

MacLEOD - (CONT'D) Oh, Louise, no...

[THE ONLOOKERS step back a bit, out of shock and respect. The Woman who spoke to MacLeod touches his shoulder with compassion.]

WOMAN - Perhaps a wave took her.

[MacLeod is beyond answering. His trembling hand smooths the wet hair off Louise's pale, drowned face. She's cold in his arms.]
