A Priest, Bernard, comes across a man he believed dead from WWII, Daimler, an immortal who was a Nazi officer. Later Bernard runs into Duncan. When Bernard was a little kid he saw Duncan come back to life during the same period. Duncan asked him to keep his secret and he did. Now he asks Duncan to help him as he is terrified of Daimler. Meanwhile, Anne tells Duncan she's pregnant.
Dalou from season 1, episode 15, 'For Tomorrow We Die,' is back in this episode. I mention him in my review for that episode.
Here we see more of Duncan's history as he helps the resistance in occupied France during WWII. I thought it was cool that they did a story where someone saw Duncan come back to life and then runs into him many years later.
Anne: "Why? Is it your job?" I can't help but love this line. Duncan does sometimes act as if though he is the self-appointed immortal police and deliverer of justice. Although in this case, Bernard did ask him for help.
Wow, Anne was kinda b*tchy to Duncan in this episode. I know she worried because she got pregnant and obviously Duncan isn't the father. It's hard to tell how much time has passed between when Anne saw him "die," and when she has reunited with him again. But anyway, why does it matter? Duncan slept with Annie Devlin in the very next episode after Tessa died. I believe that was a short amount of time as I wrote in my review for that episode.
No wonder they sent Richie home in the previous episode. He might think Duncan was kinda a hypocrite:
Anne: "Duncan, we don't have to. This is not your child. You have absolutely no obligation."
Duncan: "I know that, but I have an opportunity."
Oh, Duncan did you forget your own advice when you said this in 'Line of Fire?': "Richie, this isn't about you being a father. It's about you being an Immortal. I know what this means to you, but you can't protect them. It doesn't matter what you do. It doesn't matter how much you love them or how hard you try. You just can't."
I don't know why they wrote Duncan as being a hypocrite at times.
If Bernard saw Duncan come back to life and realized he couldn't die, why did he think that Duncan could kill Daimler all these years later? There's really no explanation for that. Plot hole.
Both Dalou and Bernard end up being killed by Daimler. Kinda reminds me of 'Obsession,' and 'Nowhere to Run,' where the person or people he is trying to help end up dead anyway. Poor Bernard. After all that, I really wanted him to live. He was a hero in the past, lived with anxiety and guilt all those years, only to still end up Daimler's victim anyway. His worst fear actually came true. I also liked Dalou as this shady old guy with bodyguards and yet a likable fellow.
I had to laugh at how dumb these neo-nazis, white supremacists were when Duncan said: "Mens sano in corpore sano." Even when Duncan translated it, the guy was too stupid to get it. Yep, an accurate portrayal of the intelligence or lack thereof in this case, of these types of people. Good job writers!
Anne decides she can't be with Duncan. They were never a good match in my opinion. I never felt Duncan was actually "IN" love with her. More like he was in love with the idea of her. I gave the episode an 8/10.
