This scene occurs just after MacLeod final Quickening.



CUT TO:

FIRE TRUCK

converging on MacLeod's antique shop.

SIRENS SCREAMING. It's a blazing inferno. Cops hold back crowds. Firemen direct hoses. Tears in her eyes:

Rachel moves through the crowd.

She's carrying the silver-framed 1952 photo of herself with Nash. Beams split in cascades of sparks.

CUT TO:

MORAN

stands on the sidewalk. T.V. crews film the blaze. Cops hold back gawkers behind barriers. Seeing Rachel, Moran takes her arm.

MORAN
I'm sorry. We couldn't get him out.

RACHEL
I know.

MORAN
(eyeing her)
The Head-Hunter got another one tonight.

RACHEL
(anxiously)
What was his name?

MORAN
Some guy named Kruger.

Relieved, she closes her eyes for a moment. MacLeod has won.

MORAN
Why d'you ask, Miss Ellenstein?

RACHEL
You can call me Rachel if
you want.

MORAN
Rachel's a nice name.
(seeing photo)
What's that?

She shows it him.

MORAN

Nash.
(she nods)
Who's the pretty young girl?

RACHEL
(smiling)
Would you like to get some coffee?

Puzzled, he looks at the photo, then at her. Taking his arm, she walks him off down the street.

Behind them, the inferno RAGES.
