In any of the Highlander movies (except #2), is there a clear implication that Only One remains?

Leaving aside "Highlander II: The Quickening" due to its continuity controversies, is there a clear and unambiguous implication in any of the "Highlander" movies that MacLeod is The One remaining Immortal with the rest of them dead (with the possible exception that one remaining hidden villain is frozen somewhere for the sake of the sequel movie)?

Highlander



In the end of Highlander there's an extensive shot (in the Highlands) where Connor talks about the benefit of having received "the prize", e.g. that he's the last Immortal and has received the Quickening power from all the other Immortals who died before him.



I really don't see how his speech can be viewed any other way.








Highlander III



There's a similar voiceover at the end of Highlander III: The Sorceror where Connor again talks about winning the prize (again) after killing the titular villain.




MCCLEOD: I'm at peace, it's finally over.




The original ending in the draft script was even clearer;




JENNIFER: What now?



MCCLEOD: Now I can start to live. To feel. To grow old and live each day without the promise of another.

How to label and detect the document text images

Image
1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica.
