Scenes from the DVD set's "Final Shooting Script"
that do not appear in the episode.

 

SCENE ONE

 
[Gringkov's eyes turn to ice. He drops the poor confused victim routine, spits his reply--]

GRINKOV - You tell me. There was one-point-four mil in laundered cash and I want it back!
 

BACK to transcript.

 

SCENE TWO

 
[An ARMORED CAR pulls up and stops on the other side of the herd. MacLeod takes a deep breath and begins to relax, then he gets the BUZZ. Amanda checks her mirror but MacLeod points through the windshield.]

MACLEOD - There.

[They watch as a sleek black ROADSTER pulls up beside the Armored Car. Out of this roadster jumps Cory, Tommy Gun in hand. He runs to the Armored Car and hurtles a GAS GRENADE through the view slot. It EXPLODES in a burst of SMOKE. MacLeod and Amanda are out of their car in a flash. MacLeod starts moving through the cows that block his path.]

MACLEOD - Damn! [to the cows] Excuse me. Pardon me.

[On the other side of the herd, the two SECURITY GUARDS stumble out of the armored car, coughing and gagging from the gas. Cory cold-conks both of the Guards, apologizing as he goes.]

CORY - Sorry, fellas.

SCENE THREE

 
CORY - There's a little something for your trouble. I'll mail you a receipt for the rest.

[Cory tosses the money bags into his roadster, jumps in, does a 180. In the midst of the cows, MacLeod silently curses.]

MACLEOD - [to cows] Would you move? You're on my foot.

[CORY tips his grey fedora, waves a cheery adieu to his captive audience as he speeds away.]

SCENE SEVEN

EXT. ROAD - MISSOURI - 1926 - DAY

[Just your typical pastoral scene -- sun shining, birds chirping, three Immortals speeding through the countryside in a red roadster. Amanda points up ahead.]

AMANDA - Uh-oh.

MACLEOD - [strains to see] Uh-oh.

CORY - [peeks around] Oh, brother.

[There's a ROADBLOCK dead ahead. Three police cars block the way through. MacLeod starts a U-turn. Too late. POLICE swarm out of the trees on either side of the road, effectively blocking any escape.]

CORY - Hey, guys... can we get the show on the road here?

AMANDA - [to MacLeod] That's how it's going to be?
 

BACK to transcript.

 

SCENE NINE

 
CORY - It coulda been fun.

[MacLeod watches as Amanda and Cory pull out of the graveyard. Amanda turns to look back, something in her eyes pleading with MacLeod to stop her. But he stays strong. Hat pushed back, jacket slung over his shoulder, MacLeod just watches them drive away -- finally, the roadster becomes a dot on the horizon.]

[With a last look down at the now-empty grave, MacLeod turns and heads down the road the other way.]

EXT. COUNTRY BACK ROAD - KANSAS - 1926 - DAY

EXT. SMALL TOWN BANK - SOUTH DAKOTA - 1926 - DAY

[Cory backs out of the bank, heads for Amanda and the waiting getaway car. Suddenly the street is full of Police. The cops open up and Amanda and Cory are surrounded by a fury of gunfire.]

BACK to transcript.

 

SCENE EIGHTEEN

 
[He presses the switch and -- BLAAAMM!! The construction trailer is airborne. Like a giant aluminum can, it's up, up and away. And then a shattering CRASH. Flat as a pancake. Scraps of money and newspaper drift through the air. Nothing left standing. Well, almost nothing.]
