FORGIVE US OUR
TRESPASSES
After the Scottish massacre at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, Duncan
MacLeod was a man possessed, obsessed, with killing the English
bastards who had destroyed his people. Now Immortal Steven Keane has
come to make MacLeod pay for his murderous crimes. Amanda urges
MacLeod to take Keane's head and be done with it, but in his heart
MacLeod knows that Keane is right - he is a murderer - and that Keane
is simply judging him by the same terms MacLeod has judged so many
others.

Flashbacks
| 1746, England
Mac is obsessed with revenge in the aftermath of Culloden, and kills
the Earl of Dunbar, a friend of Steven Keane, in cold blood. |
| 1779, England
Keane learns that Mac has vanished into the Far East via Sean Burns,
and is persuaded to let his grudge go. |
Other Immortals
| Methos |
| Amanda |
| Steven Keane |
| Sean Burns |
Trivia
| Michael J Jackson makes a welcome return (in
flashback) as Sean Burns. He was beheaded by Duncan in
D14, 'Deliverance'. |
| Look out for the nightmare that Duncan has about
his murderous past - when he wakes he speaks with a Scottish accent. |
Verdict
A fabulous morality play where Duncan is made to confront the less
salubrious events of his past by an Immortal with as strong a sense of
good and evil as he has. I also liked the way Sean Burns played a
pivotal role in Keane first dropping - and then picking back up - the
grudge. A-
