Joe tells Gibbs and Ziva "The Watchers" were created 5000 years ago to observe record but never interfere with the lives of a group of immortal beings who roamed the Earth unbeknownst to most humans. Ammaletu the Akkadian created the Watchers after he saw Gilgamesh resurrected from the dead.
As a form of identification, each Watcher wore a bluish tattoo (stylized Zodiac sign of Aries inside a circle) on their forearm/inner wrist. The design is Centuries old, however, Watchers wore a medallion symbol of their organization.
Gibbs asks Joe "If I decide to go public!" looking at Dawson smugley
Joe pulls a gun pulls a slide back loading it and points it right at Jethro's head saying "Then I kill you, right here, right now!"
Sarah moves to step between them pleading "Mom, stop him!"
Holding on to Sarah tighly with both hands Amanda looks at her saying "Sarah this is the way it has to be!"
Dawson goes on to tell them all those working for the Watchers group swore an oath that under no circumstance would they reveal their existence to the immortals. The world is not ready for this truth! Joe tells them.
Joe tells Gibbs and Ziva "You two get the prize, I am assigning to two to Methos!"
Ziva asks"How old is he?" raising her Eyebrow inquizitivly
Looking at Ziva Joe explains to her "As far as we know he is the eldest of all the immortals"
Turning just a hint of crimson Amanda tells Gibbs & Ziva "He makes me look like a teenager..., he is over 5000 years old!"
Joe tells them "His teacher was Djer of Ancient Egypt!"
Ziva asks "The pharaoh djer of the first dynasty?"
Joe tells them "One in the same... Ziva"
Amanda looks at Sarah saying, "Come on Sarah we have to go..., there are still some things I need to teach you!"
Joe tells her, "Watchers & immortals don't interact Sarah..., I am only allowing this as a favor to Amanda... so you can say your goodbyes"
Sarah pouting Sarah states "I wish it didn't have to be this way!"
Joe exclaims "But it does..., and all of you have some training to do!"
Both Amanda and Sarah turn to leave. Sometime later back in Washington D.C. as they both make their way back to the The Georgetown Suites Sarah feels a Quickening for the first time and knocks her to her knees!
Methos says "Hello Amanda, who do we have here?" As reaches down to offer Sarah a hand pulling her to her feet
Turning just a hint of crimson Sarah says "Thank you sir!"
Amanda says "Methos meet my adopted daughter & student Sarah!"
Sarah looks at the six foot tall man with jet black hair stating "Methos!"
Amanda tells Sarah "Sarah he is the oldest Immortal on record..., he was one of the actual four Horsemen"
Sarah asks "Methos is it true, were one of the four horsemen!"
Methos scolds Amanda saying "you should not have told her that!"
Amanda "If you are going to be her mentor she has a right to know!"
Her eyebrows drooped she had resinged herself to finding and loosing her birth parents in the same week Sarah ws begining to feel meloncolly as she said "Mom..., I thought…!"
Amanda looks at Sarah telling her "it's because I am your mother I can't... besides you can already fight as well as I can..., I asked Methos if he would step in..., he said yes!"
Methos tells Sarah "I think what your mother is trying not to say is..., she might go easy on you Sarah!"
Sarah looks to her mom she does not need to ask the question, when the answer is written on Amanda's face!
Methos, Sarah asks "is what my mom said true..., I am not sitting in judgment, but you have kind eyes..., I don't see how you were death incarnate?"
Smiling Methos tells her "Thank you for that Sarah..., I was a much different person then!"
Turning to look at Methos Sarah asks "How so!"
Methos tells Sarah "I was filled with rage I had just witnessed my wife being killed..., I rode as one of the horsemen during the Bronze Age..., and I was the thing of nightmares Sarah"
Sarah eyes suddenly widen as she states "Really!"
Methos stops mid stride saying Lesion One "When you are fighting for your life there's no such thing as fair!
Sarah stops and thinks about what she had just been told saying "If I understand what you're saying correctly..., don't underestimate the person you're fighting!"
Methos smiles saying Amanda has taught you well Sarah"That..., and once you have them on the run don't let up!"
