In 1994, Connor MacLeod was living with his adopted son, John, in Marakesh, "He knew he was adopted before he could spell." Brenda Wyatt, the woman he married after the incidents in the first film, was revealed to have been killed in a car accident three years previously. When trouble brewed, MacLeod left John in the care of his friend Jack Donovan, and then departed for New York to engage in the final showdown for the Prize. MacLeod eventually learns from Jack that John is on a plane bound for New York. MacLeod returned as quickly as possible, but he's too late.
