Macgyver S1E1, Pilot
It's funny, you know, the kind of stuff that pops into your head when you're trying to work.
I remember there was this horse, a golden palomino.
Old Man McGinty had got him in a trade, I think.
I couldn't have been much more than 9 or 10 at the time, but I'd made up my mind I was gonna ride that horse.
Of course, knowing Old Man McGinty, that was gonna take some doing.
Well, first off, there was his dog, Hector.
They didn't come any meaner or louder than Hector.
One whiff of me heading for that corral, and Hector would have the old man down on me like a shot.
So much for Hector.
Well, I remember thinking to myself, as that palomino stared at me from across the corral with a real kind of proud and angry look, that if ever there was a time for turning back, this was it.
But something else must have decided our paths were bound to cross that day, because my feet just kept right on going.
Now, having a golden palomino in a corral is all well and good, but actually getting right up to her, well, that could be a whole other ball game.
She was starting to look a little bit bigger than I remembered too.
No, there was definitely more to riding this palomino than had occurred to me the night before.
They didn't say anything to me about any survivors.
The missile.
Which tent? You might want to pass the time by cutting yourself a little elbowroom.
Hey, I want that knife back, you know.
I'd always heard, in riding horses, it was the horse that did the sweating.
But I wasn't even on him yet, and you could have wrung enough out of me to water the lawn.
From here on, it was easy does it.
If you move too sudden, or worse, try jumping on her back, and you might just as well strap yourself to a Well, to a rocket.
All right, hotshot, so you got a golden palomino between your knees and no reins.
Now what? Cavalry should be here any minute.
Now.
God, I hate heights.
- What are you doing? - Making a rocket thruster.
What are we doing?! I'll tell you later.
Come on, Mac, I've had Big Brothers before, none of them lived in a place like this.
Well, it's comfy.
I call it home.
I thought you had to be real normal to be somebody's Big Brother.
I mean, this ain't a normal place to live.
This is weird.
People a lot taller than yourself have said the exact same thing.
- I think it's interesting.
- Okay, it's interesting.
Now can I see Venus? You will be able to once that cloud clears.
Tell you what, in the meantime, what do you say we go get a bite to eat? Okay.
State Department vehicle J1765 requesting entry access to KIVA level one.
Clearance request granted.
proceed to level one.
Will you excuse me, please? Oh, yeah, I see what it's doing.
Yeah, okay.
That's a discrepancy.
Okay.
Dr Marlowe.
Our director, Dr Burke, was delayed, so on behalf of Dr Steubens and the Sendrex Corporation, I'd like to welcome you to the KIVA Laboratories.
- Thank you.
- Oh, I'm Barbara Spencer.
Oh, yes.
Yes, his assistant.
He's mentioned you in his letters.
Dr Steubens is waiting for us down on the third level.
Follow me, please.
The elevator's this way.
If you'll just stand completely within this circle, this will only take a moment.
Go ahead, station B.
It just came up.
Right.
Okay.
Set it up on level B.
Spencer, Barbara T.
GL773, clearance to level three.
Such tight security.
Should I be flattered? Standard procedure, I'm afraid.
The KIVA has the most advanced security of the all the Sendrex corporations.
Nothing moves in or out of here that isn't constantly monitored and controlled.
Sidney, dear Sidney, how are you? I'm great.
It's good to see you, Carl.
Shall we start with a little tour of the facilities? No, I've changed my mind about that.
We have a serious matter to settle, face-to-face.
As I recall, your last telex, it was queen to bishop four.
Yes, correct.
You countered with rook to king's fifth.
Pure suicide, but far be it for me to stop you, Carl.
- It's your move, Carl.
- Oh, I know.
I'm sorry, Sidney.
Acid leak.
Level Three.
Containment out of control.
Acid leak.
Level Three.
Containment out of control.
Tell me you were just in a hurry to see me and there's no bad news.
I was just in a hurry to see you and I'll save the bad news till we get inside.
Gant.
Gant.
Come on, let's have it.
All right.
An accident in New Mexico.
A lab that handles a lot of classified research.
Something set off a series of explosions.
- How bad? - Most of the personnel got out, but at least 20 are still unaccounted for.
Among them is a top British scientist named Marlowe.
He was here visiting one of our own men, Steubens.
They're also both candidates for the Nobel Prize this year.
Not exactly the kind of publicity the State Department wants to hear.
They still alive? They survived the blast, but they're still trapped in the lab.
They calculate the chances of anyone getting through to Marlowe and Steubens is Well, it's not great.
Well, give me "not great" on a scale of one to ten.
Minus three.
That's why we couldn't order anyone to try.
So your name came up.
What other options do they have? - I'm it, aren't I? - You're it.
Now, look, Mac, you don't have to take this assignment, you know that.
Call the lab, Gant.
Tell them we're on our way.
- Try the other monitor.
- I don't want excuses from you.
- Stand by.
- The auxiliary backup went down.
I think we may be getting through again.
Dr Marlowe, Dr Steubens, can you hear me? Gentlemen, can you hear me? Yes, just a little.
I think Carl is regaining consciousness, but we do need a doctor down here.
Dr Marlowe.
Hello? Do you hear me? Hello? - Sorry, sir, we lost it.
- Keep trying.
On the double.
Okay, move out.
Double time.
Move out.
Let's go.
- Colonel Keel.
- Gantner.
Attention, please.
All sector clearances must be approved on a priority basis.
Check at your substation command post.
Oh, Ed, I see you've already met Colonel Keel.
I better keep things moving outside.
I'll check in with you later.
- Good.
- Charlie Burke, this is MacGyver.
- Charlie is director of the lab.
- Thank you for coming.
- How's it stand right now? - Well, Marlowe's fine.
Steubens was unconscious for a while, but he's coming around.
We've been unable to maintain any communication for more than a few seconds at a time.
You got any idea what set it off? An explosion on the third level somehow made its way to the first, but past that we're guessing.
Any chance it could've had anything to do with their research? No, no.
Steubens' research had to do with magnetic fields in the ozone layer.
- Rainmakers? - Yeah.
You're sure this was an accident, right? Given the security of the KIVA Laboratories, I don't see how it could be anything else.
Yeah, right.
You got somebody I can talk specifics with? Andy Colson is our chief of operations.
All right, let's have him.
That ten hours can't be getting any longer.
Get Colson down here.
Now, we started to drill an air hole from the outside, but we had to stop.
- Why's that? - We hit sulfuric acid.
Explosion must have ruptured one of the tanks, and it's Well, it's leaking into the ground.
- Has it reached the aquifer yet? - What's that? Aquifer.
It's a layer of underground water.
In this case, it leads directly into the Rio Grande.
Now, if the acid hits the river, we're gonna poison most of this state, Texas and Mexico.
- What can you do about it? - Well, we can neutralize it.
But in order to do that, we have to flood the entire complex with sodium hydroxide.
What's that? Let's just say it's the same stuff they use to clean the flesh off of skeletons.
You're kidding.
- Is that true? - Yeah.
There's a convoy of tankers on the way right now.
So it's not ten hours anymore? No, given the rate of flow of the acid, I'd say you have a little under five hours, my friend.
Boy, you're just taking all the fun out of this, Charlie.
- Can you show me where the tank is? - Right there.
Third level, 300 feet below ground.
- You Colson? - That's right.
- You must be the screwball.
- Andy, come on.
Yeah.
It doesn't make much sense to go over every level right now.
If you can wire me for two-way, you can fill me in as I get to each one.
The first problem, though, is to get me inside.
Have you got any ideas on that? The only way to get down to the first level right now is through the elevator, and we can't even open the doors up here.
The whole shaft is protected by laser.
- Infrared or gas discharge? - Gas.
CO2, 10,000 watts.
You boys take your elevator shafts pretty seriously.
- Spare a cigarette? - Yeah, sure.
- Thank you.
- Take the pack, why don't you.
- You want my lighter too? - No, thanks.
I carry my own matches.
Now, this wiring duct here, it looks like it runs into the elevator shaft.
Does it? Yeah, it does.
And it's got a grate on the opening.
But that's not gonna do you any good.
You're still gonna draw the laser there.
That's what I'm counting on.
Can you get me inside? You know, you're not gonna be able to see that laser.
- Can you? - Yeah, I can get you in.
You know, it's gonna take a lot more than you can carry in that knapsack to get you through all this.
Well, the bag's not for what I take, Colson.
It's for what I find along the way.
MacGyver, that mike is voice-activated.
All you've gotta do is talk.
We'll be listening.
Okey-doke.
Ed, relax.
I've got a big date on Sunday.
I'm playing ball with my Little Brother.
Well, I've reached the grate.
Can't see any damage so far.
What was that? Yeah, well, there's nothing wrong with your laser.
I told you you couldn't get through.
Well, then, maybe it's time for a smoke.
Come on, pal, how about a light? Is he really taking the time for a smoke? Well, that's kind of pretty.
Gant, remind me to get another pair of binoculars.
Jeez, I hate to do this.
You're the best pair I ever had.
Binoculars? What the? What are you doing with binoculars? Well, I'll tell you.
Did you ever see a scorpion sting itself to death? Think I'm in.
- What does it look like down there? - Twilight Zone.
The elevator's jammed in the shaft, so I'm gonna find another way to the lower level.
I'm heading for the bio lab.
- We got a problem, boys.
- What is it, Mac? Well, the corridor's caved-in ahead here.
I don't think I can make that bio lab.
Back the other way, MacGyver.
There's a control room.
Hold it a second.
Mac, what's happening? I'm getting a tapping sound coming from the direction of the lab.
I got a pretty big girder in my way here, though.
Come on back to me one more time.
I got some life down here, boys.
MacGyver, the girder, can you move it? Well, that'd take some doing.
It's wedged in here pretty good.
If I could raise it up about three or four inches, I might be able to swing it to one side.
What's that sound? It was me, Mac.
Just taking a sip of water.
Water.
MacGyver, what are you doing down there? Praying my back doesn't give out.
- Anybody hurt seriously? - Some of us, but we can all walk.
All right.
Let's get you out of here.
One at a time, up through that hole.
Make your way to the corridor from there.
Colson, you got a whole bunch of people coming your way.
A rope ladder in the elevator shaft ought to get them topside.
We'll see them out from up here.
Thank you.
Well, we got lucky.
Let's just hope it holds, huh? Sure you can go on, Mac? Unless you got another way to get to Marlowe and Steubens, I'm just getting lazy.
Marlowe and Steub? You're not saying they're still alive, are you? Yes, ma'am.
In a lab on the third level.
I know where.
I mean, I was just about to join them again in his lab when the first explosion hit.
- Are you going down after them? - Yeah, well, that's the plan.
It sure would be a big help if you could tell me how you made it all the way back up here.
I'll do better than that.
I'll show you.
I'm going with you.
No, no, I'm sorry, but the only place you're going is up through that hole to the surface.
Oh, no, not without Carl Steubens.
- Look? - Spencer.
Barbara Spencer.
Barbara, what if I were to tell you that if I can't stop an acid leak down there, in a few hours, they're gonna flood this whole complex with sodium hydroxide? Then I'd say we're wasting time.
Guys, we got a little change of plan here.
I have a Barbara Spencer on my hands.
She's coming with me.
God, I hate heights.
Well I know this is a stupid time to ask, but have you got a name? MacGyver.
MacGyver.
That's a good name.
- Any idea what set the blasts off? - No, it was so sudden I barely had time to make it past the electronics lab before that exploded too.
Steubens' lab, bio lab, electronics.
It seems like all the explosions were somehow connected to the labs.
I don't see how that's possible.
They're all independent of each other.
- This where you came up? - Yeah.
- There's a stairway - Hey, hold it, hold it.
Got another way down? - The gas chamber.
- The what? It's the nickname we have around here for a series of airlocks around a common lab that work with sensitive gases.
This way.
You got three hours and 27 minutes, Mac.
- How's Spencer holding up? - She likes my name.
What more could I ask for? Chocolate.
- Want one of these? - No, thanks.
How can you think about eating candy at a time like this - when chances of getting out of? - I know what the odds are.
But I thought we might be able to store up on a little energy before we pressed on.
Let's go.
- That's strange.
- What's that? The airlocks along the corridor are designed to close in any emergency.
MacGyver! Hurry! Oh, my God.
Carl? Carl? We're still alive? Well, after that explosion, it's a miracle we are, but we're trapped down here, and the intercom, it's on-off-on-off.
- They know we're here? - Yes, they're trying to get to us.
With all the damage on the upper levels, it's a Oh, no.
Roger.
Colonel, the hydroxide tankers are reaching the complex now.
Get Burke on the line.
Tell him we'll be ready to flood the complex in 55 minutes.
Listen, we're repairing the circuits that open the airlock doors that are behind you.
I hear you.
You have any idea what kind of gas is in there? No, I sure don't.
Maybe Spencer does.
Yeah, Colson, I don't think we can get a fix on it just yet.
We're gonna try the airlock circuits now.
Okay.
Colson? Yeah.
Sorry.
What's the distance from here to the complex wall? And a straight shot.
Radio Burke.
Tell him we found a spot.
Colson, this is a gas lab, right? Shouldn't there be some vacuum pumps to evacuate the air just in case of an emergency? Yeah, that's right, there are.
But you would have to go through the gas to get to them.
And even then, there's no guarantee that they'll work.
Mac, you can't.
Once you break the seal on that airlock, the gas will kill you.
Doesn't matter, Gant.
We're gonna run out of air in here pretty soon anyway.
The switch for the pumps is on that panel.
See it? All right.
When we open this airlock, I want you to head straight for that passage down to the next level.
All right? Here.
Now, I want you to put this around your mouth and nose.
It won't keep out the gas, but it might help a little.
MacGyver, if you don't get the pumps started Hey, hey.
I just wanted to say thanks.
You bet.
It's the indicator lights for the pumps.
They're coming on.
I can't be positive they're working, but they're on.
Mac? Mac, can you hear me? Colonel Keel's confirmed, sir.
They're about to go into the launch procedure.
- Thank you.
- Launch procedure? What launch procedure? What's he talking about? Ed, take it easy.
We had no choice.
- About what? - About the acids.
We can't be sure the sodium hydroxide flooding's gonna be enough.
We have to fuse the substratum rock between here and the aquifer.
And we think an underground missile aimed at the KIVA foundation might do it.
A missile? Well, what happens to the KIVA? Below the first level, there won't be a KIVA.
Mac, you've gotta get out of there.
They've got a missile aimed at you.
Mac? Mac, can you hear me? Mac, answer me.
Mac, use your intercom.
Mac! Bad news, Spencer.
We lost the two-way mike.
- They don't know where we are now.
- Let's find that acid leak.
The tanks should be this way.
Watch your step now.
This is nasty stuff we're looking for.
MacGyver.
Well, it looks like the explosion cracked the foundation too.
Acid's running into the ground through that.
Well, there's nothing we can do to stop it, is there? We might be able to whip up a Band-Aid.
Our first problem, though, is to get up to that crack.
You think you could balance against the tank if you stood on my shoulders? That might get us close enough to stop that leak.
With what? That's sulphuric acid up there, remember? - With these.
- Chocolate bars? To you they're milk chocolate.
To sulphuric acid, it's lactose and sucrose, C12H22011, disaccharides.
The acid will react with the sugars to form an elemental carbon and a thick gummy residue.
It should be enough to clog up that rupture, temporarily at least.
Coming up.
All right, I'm moving over.
All right, the bars are coming up, right hand.
A little closer.
All right, start stuffing them in at the angle and work your way over.
Oh, and, Spencer? Yeah, make sure it melts in the acid and not in my hand, right? Yeah.
How much longer before they launch? From our last sync check, nine minutes and 30 seconds.
- I think we got it.
- Yeah.
Nice work, Spencer.
Oh, no.
There's a door to Steubens' lab right there, but with all this in the way, I don't know how we're gonna get Well, we're just gonna have to build ourselves a new door.
Is there any way to communicate with them? There's a lab-to-lab intercom.
I'll try it.
Dr Steubens? Dr Marlowe? Can you hear me? Please.
Can you answer this? Are you all right? Dr Marlowe? - Plastique.
- Can you hear me? A bomb.
- Dr Marlowe.
- Yes.
- Is Carl all right? - Oh, yes, he's all right, but We're down here on the third level in metallurgy just behind the back wall of your lab.
- No.
- It's them, Carl, they're right there.
They've come to get us.
We're gonna Dr Marlowe, I want you to build yourselves a barricade as far from the back wall as you possibly can.
We're gonna try and blow an opening in that wall.
- Do you understand? - We'll do it.
Blow an opening? With what? Don't tell me you know how to make a bomb out of a stick of chewing gum.
Why? You got some? Come on, this is a lab, right? There's gotta be something here we can fake it with.
- What kind of lab is this anyway? - It's metallurgy.
Metallurgy.
Metallurgy.
Metallurgy.
Come on, MacGyver.
Sodium metal.
That'll do it.
Any idea where they might keep it? In here.
Bingo.
All right, we probably won't need much more than a few grams, but we're gonna have to contain it in something.
- Test tube? - No, much too big.
And it's got to be water soluble, something cellulose.
How about a cold capsule? Yeah.
You know, Spencer, I think you're starting to get the hang of this.
But I do wish I had known you had a cold before I kissed you.
Attention.
Six minutes to missile launch.
I say again, six minutes to missile launch.
All right, now try to find me a glass jar, about a quart size with a stopper in it, - and put some water in it, all right? - Okay.
This capsule hits the water and dissolves, the sodium will give off hydrogen, and enough of a reaction to ignite it.
Go call Marlowe, tell him to get down.
We're ready.
Dr Marlowe, we're gonna try and blow an opening in the wall now.
All right, Spencer, do me a favour, will you? You name it.
Let me go in after Marlowe and Steubens.
You wait out here, all right? Why? Well, chalk it up to superstition, all right? Wait here.
Marlowe? Steubens? You all right? Yeah, we're over here.
Get on the intercom.
Try to reach the surface.
Okay.
You, back.
Sidney, get away from that intercom.
Carl, what is this? What are you doing? Have you gone clean out of your mind? - MacGyver, is everyone all right? - Spencer, gosh darn it.
- I told you to wait outside.
- I'm sorry, Barbara.
Carl, I don't understand.
The explosion down here, it wasn't an accident.
Everybody kept looking for an accidental explanation because nothing else made sense.
With all the security of this place, who could possibly get a bomb to this level? You and Marlowe, you weren't supposed to survive.
- No.
- Carl, this makes no sense.
Doesn't it? You told me Sendrex ordered a whole new series of experiments, but that Steubens refused to accept the results.
So he invites the only other expert in the field to visit.
One accidental explosion and all this research is set back 20 years.
Maybe more.
They wanted it to become a weapon.
I've spent my whole life to stop suffering.
A weapon? Chain reactions in the ozone.
Without the ozone layer, the sun's ultraviolet rays would kill everything on earth.
I think Carl here discovered the key to make the ozone layer self-destruct.
Didn't you, Carl? The ultimate doomsday weapon.
I couldn't give them that.
I still can't.
Sidney, we're the only ones who can stop this.
No! That was dumb, Spencer.
Very, very dumb.
- Yeah, it also hurts like hell.
- Stop talking, will you? Colson, I want you to begin the flooding.
All right, Spencer, it's time to get you out of here.
You're a lousy liar, MacGyver.
We're out of time, and they don't even know we're down here, do they? There's gotta be some way to contact the surface.
You did everything in your power, Mac.
Spencer, you're a genius.
What's going on with the lights, Colson? I don't know.
Will somebody tell me what's going on? - Morse code, sir.
- What's it saying? Twenty, 19, 18, 17, 16 "Acid stopped, all safe.
Mac.
" The missile.
The missile.
Abort the launch.
Abort launch.
Yes, sir.
Abort launch.
Abort launch.
Repeat, abort launch.
Hey, hold it a second, guys.
What is this, Spence, you trying to get out of here without saying goodbye? I'd kiss you, MacGyver, but I got this cold.
So, what's a little cold between friends, huh? You're terrific, Spencer.
Move her out.
You still haven't told me what you do for a living.
Oh, I'm sort of a repairman.
But I like playing basketball with you best.
- Okay, what's the deal this time? - Championship.
Seventh and final game of this awesomely contested match.
of course.
- And the clock? - A paltry three seconds remain.
- Look at that.
- Short Stuff's out.
All right, wait, hold it.
Hold the phone.
- What? - You better get somebody ready to measure me for my championship ring.
- All right, shoot it, shoot it.
- All right.
Reggie stops, pops, and is tops.
A phenomenal shot by a short kid.
The fans go crazy.

Macgyver S1E2
People usually go to a junkyard looking for a bargain.
I did.
When I got my first set of wheels, one of them was kind of flat.
I spent a lot of time in Hubcap Heaven, piecing together that first car.
So would anybody else looking for a real bargain, like a matched set of top-secret pentagon missile launch codes.
Of course, missiles come in all kinds, sizes and shapes.
I've always been partial to round.
Stay here! Anything? Anything? As long as you keep a grip on things Briefcase! Up there! There he is! Get him! The thing about a junkyard is the treasure you find is liable to be something another fellow lost.
Sometimes, he wants it back real bad.
Now, I've always got the start of a plan.
Of course, sometimes plans don't work out.
But you always know for sure when they hit you right in the face.
Come on! Now you may find this hard to believe, but there have been times when I've had a lot more fun in the back seat of a car.
I think the last thing I wanted to do before these guys left the party was to find the nicest way I could to lift their spirits.
Yeah! It's MacGyver.
You know that diplomatic security case you guys put me on a while back? Well, I got it and the boys who took it.
Yeah, wanna come pick them up? I just did.
It's my humble opinion that old Alexander Graham Bell has a lot to answer for.
Getting away from it all gets tougher and tougher.
Not just the newspapers, the telephone, the radio but people.
It's hard.
Maybe impossible.
Good morning, MacGyver.
Ever been to Burma? You'll be going deep into wild country.
There's no government, no law, just two kinds of people: Opium vendors and the local people they hold as slaves.
Sounds like you're sending me to a real nice neighbourhood.
Well, it's dangerous.
It's important.
Very.
I hear it's also sweaty and hot.
Very.
No place to buy a condo.
The cargo plane hit hard, pieces scattered all over the jungle.
The main thing is we lost a canister of toxin.
Enough heavy-duty poison to destroy animals and people.
- And you'd kind of like to have it back.
- Get it if you can.
Destroy it if you have to.
We'll have a pickup chopper come for you 24 hours after you drop in.
Don't be late, MacGyver - or you won't be back.
- Oh, shucks.
I guess this means I won't have time to do any shopping.
Slavery.
It's just a word, something out of ancient history, until you see it, get a close look at human beings treated like animals.
Oh, Grandfather! Leave him alone! Is there trouble, sir? You told me you could get your people to work hard, harvest the opium! This one can't even walk.
I'm all right.
Please Come, Grandfather.
I can walk.
Grandpa! I'm sorry! Keep them moving! Hurry! Back to the village! Move! Quiet.
Quiet.
All right.
I'm on your side.
Just wanna ask you about this red hat.
Come on now.
I just helped you out of a little jam.
Is that any way to thank me? That's gratitude.
Nice guy.
Who are you? - Name's MacGyver.
- Chan.
- Good to meet you.
- I apologize.
No problem.
You wanna to tell me where you got the hat? I will show you.
Who was that guy who was chasing you? He is Truang, General Narai's dog.
He in charge of forced labour for the poppy fields? - Yes.
- Who's Narai? His boss? They say General Narai is not human.
They say he drinks blood.
This is where I find my red hat, MacGyver.
Of course.
poison canister's gone.
The pentagon's not gonna be too happy.
You're lucky, boy.
I don't have time to punish you now.
- Did he hurt you? - Who is that? I know who you are and what you are doing here! So do not lie! French? English? - American.
- Well, take your pick.
Wherever you come from, I know what you are! - Narcotics agent! - A what? Your kind have been in our area before.
I know.
The general is coming! Get everything ready! The storeroom.
He will want to see the opium.
His guns! Make sure his guns are ready! Move! Move! Move! A long time ago, my cousin Allie got a dog from a pound, part Airedale, part spaniel, really cute, but she'd been beaten.
All that puppy knew how to do was cower, cringe away from you, expecting to be hit.
It's a real ugly thing to see in a dog.
It's even worse in a human being.
This is something I did not expect.
- Who are you? - Name's MacGyver.
And I'll just bet you're General Narai.
That was a nice landing, general.
A little flashy, but effective.
He's a narcotics agent! I made him speak.
The poppies? Only half the harvest is complete.
You radioed about downed American aeroplane with weapons.
Bingo.
Good.
Very good.
My helicopter will become a gunship, a powerful weapon.
Load them.
You wish to tell me the real reason you're here? Tourist? I like a sense of humour.
Shows spirit.
Five days and my caravan will come here to pick up the opium.
Finish the harvest.
And if you're not ready They are slow.
Too many old men and women.
Lazy children.
They are stubborn.
Headman! Are your people slow? Stubborn? I've told them, general.
I've warned them you'd be angry.
I care for you give you protection, food, shelter.
But as children are responsible to their father, you must not disappoint me.
Hurt me.
If I suffer, you will suffer.
We will bring in the crops.
I promise.
Good.
Just to remind all of you how important this is I will give you an example.
Stake our narcotics agent out at the head of the trail.
No food.
No water.
Every morning you go to work, every evening you come back you can watch him dying.
He will inspire you to work.
I will return in five days.
And with luck you may live the entire five days.
But I doubt it.
My mom used to make a great broiled chicken.
One of my favourites.
It's funny.
I'm starting to feel real sympathetic towards them chickens.
I'll watch.
MacGyver, her name Lin, my sister.
- Hi.
- Chan told me how you helped him.
We're very grateful.
Well, you're very welcome.
Now if you wanted to cut me loose, I bet we could call it even.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
If we help you escape, Narai will kill many of our people.
MacGyver, you don't know Narai.
He has burned entire villages and massacred many people, because they refused to harvest his opium poppies.
He's very rich and powerful.
We have no way to fight him.
I would fight! I bet you would, champ.
They are coming.
Lin, please come now.
Been wondering when somebody'd show up.
Getting some good rays here.
You must work faster! Faster! Work faster, Ming, you lazy boy! We only have four days left to harvest.
- Where did you get that? - I stole it back from the guardhouse.
For MacGyver, or he will die out there.
Go to the narcotics agent and relieve Lo.
Be careful! For a second I thought you were truly stupid, boy.
Are you? Are you a stupid boy? When I was a kid, one of the big events of the country fair was watching a lot of optimists trying to catch a greased pig.
A lot of fun.
It sure keeps a crowd occupied.
Now let's try a little chain reaction action here.
Now I'll get this signal flare tucked under the aeroplane tire.
It should serve nicely as a delayed fuse.
And a little air pumped into the life jacket.
The boat inflates hopefully.
Signal flare pops, and you get the big bang.
No, Chan! Ming, he needs help! Well, I guess that's it then.
- Now you're free.
- No.
Truang will reach General Narai's convoy.
They will return very soon.
You You have destroyed us all! MacGyver, maybe you can teach us how to use these guns.
No, I don't think so.
It takes a couple of weeks or so to train a soldier how to use a rifle.
We need no training! We need you to leave now, before it gets worse! So go! Just go! Is that the way all of you feel? If we cannot find our souls, we do not deserve our lives.
Thank you for what you have done, MacGyver.
You need not thank him.
Just pray that Narai does not kill us all! You know, I think you folks ought to decide which way you're gonna go now.
I promised a man I'd do a job for him, and that's what I gotta do.
I got a chopper to meet.
Everyone, it will be all right! When General Narai comes back, we will apologize.
We will beg him to forgive us.
Looks like MacGyver's got the goods.
I'm going in.
MacGyver! Easy, big guy.
I wasn't going anywhere.
I was a hunter.
I have been a farmer.
- Now I'm a slave.
- You are alive.
- At Narai's whim.
- Ming is right.
Narai controls our life and everything else.
This is a useless conversation.
We have no means to fight, and your great hope, MacGyver, has gone.
Grandfather! Lin! MacGyver is back! I've finished the job I was sent here to do.
What have you all decided? Are you gonna keep peeling poppies or are we gonna give this fashion plate Narai a run for his money? Teach me to be a soldier, MacGyver.
You are fools! All of you! You will suffer! Narai will kill you! Listen, folks, I don't think we have much more than a few hours before old Truang spreads the good news.
You said we cannot learn to shoot in time.
How do we fight? Oh, I've got a couple of ideas.
A little higher.
That's good.
That is to be seen.
Excellent.
Yes, yes, yes.
Here.
Take this up to the ridge.
Signal us as soon as you see the convoy.
It is Narai! He's just checking us out.
Heading north.
Yes, heading north to process his opium.
Let's hope they keep him busy for a while.
Truang should reach that convoy in a bit.
Now this is how you cut the bandits down to size.
Teamwork.
The women and children are cooking up a bamboo buffet: A giant wooden flute filled with fire ash and rice alcohol guaranteed to bring tears to the eyes.
- How's it going? - Fine, except for the guns.
- I set traps like this when I was a boy.
- That's why you're in charge.
You have given Ming a chance to become a man.
I can see the change in him, from a slave to a leader.
Okay? Go now.
- Is it deep enough? - That is perfect.
Perfect.
But they can see it, though.
That's what makes it perfect.
A good morning's work.
My people did a good job.
The signal! All right.
We don't have more than an hour before Truang and his goons get here.
What shall we do now? Get some food.
First we eat.
Then we fight.
Hey! It's only fair to warn you that these folks don't want you guys back here.
So if you just wanna turn around and go back to wherever you came from, these folks won't hold a grudge.
But I gotta warn you, if you keep on coming, you're liable to have a battle on your hands.
So, what do you say? Those guys are just spoiling for a fight.
Let's move.
Herpetologists will tell you everyone has an inner fear of snakes including the herpetologists.
Are you afraid of snakes, MacGyver? No.
I just don't like being around them.
Now you take your psychologists, they'll tell you when someone thinks they have you all figured out, that's when they're the most vulnerable.
When it comes to Truang, he doesn't know an asp from a hole in the ground.
Come on, Truang.
It can only get worse.
Why don't we call it a day? He's only trying to bait us.
We go to the village first.
Then MacGyver.
Hurry! Dismount! Move that tree out of the way.
Of course, the archaeologist tells us the wheel is Man's greatest invention.
But I thought we'd blow the air out of that notion.
What are you waiting for?! Pick up your weapons! Move out! General? Gentlemen, you're in time for the buffet.
Our short-order cook just turned on the gas.
Now we are free.
Yeah.
