MACGYVER: It's occurred
to me that some friendships

are like a good game of hockey.

The right balance of teamwork
and smooth skating

generally adds up
to a winning combination.

Like me and Pete Thornton.

Partner, boss, friend.

You can't do much better than that.

But sometimes things come up
that test the best of friendships.

And this weekend of skiing
was one of them.

- It wasn't my fault.
- Whose fault was it?

The guy cut me off.
What was I supposed to do?

Come on, Pete, let's face it.
You did not belong on that slope.

It was for expert skiers.

You telling me, I should have been
on the bunny slope?

- Well--
- Listen, that man was skiing

Iike he owned
the whole darn mountain.

Pete.

That man does own
the whole darn mountain.

Well, that's still no excuse
for him to swing on me.

Look, all I know is
I've been looking forward

to skiing that mountain for months.

And now I'm banned for life.

Did I ask for your help?

- I could have handled him just fine.
- That's not the point.

[ENGlNE RATTLlNG]

PETE:
Now what's the matter?

We couldn't be out of gas,
could we?

Could we?

You said you would fill it up
when you went for pizza, remember?

Well, I didn't.

I messed up.

- So sue me.
- Oh, never mind.

Why let a little thing like this
ruin a perfectly good vacation?

- Now where are you going?
- To find a gas station.

And I suggest you look
the other way.

Fine.

First one back with a can of gas
goes after the other guy.

- Okay?
- Fine.

JONATHAN::
Put the body here in the back room.

Quickly. The truck should be here
within ten minutes.

We have a problem.

No. Let me check him out first.

Hi. What can I do for you?

Oh, my buddy and I ran out of gas
a few miles up the road.

I can help you out.

You picked a nice day for it.

Your friend's not the walking type,
huh?

No, I sent him up the other way
to try his luck.

Kind of looks like you got
a corner on the market.

You could say that.

"Phoenix Foundation."

You work there?

Yeah, more or less.

My cousin Louise works
in accounting. You know her?

I can't say that I do. It's a big outfit.

You need a deposit on the can?

You've got an honest face.
Just bring it back when you're done.

Sorry I can't give you a lift.
I'm here alone.

No problem.

You let him walk away?

For the moment.
He's with the Phoenix Foundation.

It could prove useful to us.

Then why didn't you take him now?

Because now we have
more important matters to attend to.

More questions, Armin?

Frank.

JONATHAN [OVER RADlO]:
Frank, are you there?

Do you read me, Frank?

Frank, come in.

Talk to me now, Frank.

Go ahead, Jonathan.

Frank, we have a problem
I need you to deal with.

Hey.

PETE:
Thanks a lot.

You're the first good thing
that's happened to me.

I guess this is your lucky day, huh?

You'll love the food.

I've been coming here for years.
Never disappointed.

LlSA:
Good morning.

Well, where's Justine this morning?

She's at home in bed.

She's got the flu.

I'm telling you, don't even look at it.

This place makes
a corned beef hash

that will make you think
you've died and gone to heaven.

[GUNSHOTS]

FRANK:
Now stay still.

Come on.

- Let's go, come on.
PETE: All right, take it easy. Ow!

FRANK:
Get over here.

Stay right there.

Don't move.

There we go. Get down there.

Get down.

He's going to come looking
for his friend.

Why don't we have Frank put
our new toy to the test?

You got it.
Hot damn, you got it. Nice.

- Did you get the friend?
- Yeah. He's in the cellar.

Phoenix Foundation too,
am I right?

The other one will be here soon.

How much power will it take
to stop his Jeep?

Point-one percent of one capacitor.

That transformer is
more than enough to juice it.

Help me with the cables.
Let's go with the cables.

Okay, here we go.

That'll do it. Point-one percent.
We're in business.

That's it?

It's everything we can pull out
of that transformer.

You just wait until we patch it
into Powertech's superconductor,

- then you'll see what this baby can do.
- Show me how it works.

First, you need some power
to charge the capacitors.

Then the capacitors dump
the electricity

into the vircator chamber here.

It generates
the electromagnetic pulse

which discharges from the focus

in the dish here.

Follow me.

The whole procedure is operative
when you push this button.

[BEEPlNG]

It also has an automatic-sequence
feature for remote operation.

All the modern conveniences, huh?

Good.

Armin.

Better get out there.
He'll be coming any time now.

[ROCK MUSlC
PLAYlNG ON RADlO]

He's coming.

- Now.
- Do it.

[ELECTRlClTY CRACKLlNG]

[WHlRRlNG]

[TYRES SCREECHlNG]

MACGYVER:
Now what?

ARMlN:
Hold it right there.

What's going on?

Hey, I was gonna return
the gas can.

Keep moving.

Let's go.

PETE: MacGyver.
- How you doing, Pete?

Over there, both of you.
Go now, over there.

Would you mind telling us
what's going on?

History in the making,
and you are going to be part of it.

You know, we'd be happy
to just pass on that.

Aside from special operations,
your Phoenix Foundation engages

in speculation and analysis, right?

Tell me,

how many men do you suppose
it would take to overpower

the downtown core of a city

and throw the lives of say,
a million people,

into total chaos, how many?

Uh, I don't know, what do you think?

- You got us on that.
- The correct answer is four.

With strategy, timing
and the right technology,

we will show the rest of the world
just how soft

and vulnerable
you Americans really are.

- Forget the rhetoric.
- At 1 :00 this afternoon,

a lot of people are going to wish
it was simply talk.

Your streets will be filled
with lifeless vehicles,

your communications
will be shut down,

and your financial centre
will be in a shambles.

And your people will riot

and panic and destroy one another.

- Big plans.
- You are going to be part of them.

And if you behave yourselves,
you may live to tell about it.

You gentlemen know
how these work. Pull the pin,

release the handle and it explodes.

Crude, but effective.

Now, then, if you gentlemen
should try to loosen your ropes,

you will only succeed in
blowing each other up.

Once we have achieved our objective,

we will notify the authorities
as to your whereabouts.

And then you can validate
our accomplishments.

You see, gentlemen,
you are our witnesses.

The videotape.

- Is it ready?
- It's all set.

They'll definitely get the message.

Good. Come over here, look at this.

Frank and I will be finished
with the microwave base by 1 0:40.

Armin, you and Lisa must have
the telephone switching station

out of commission by 1 0:45.

No problem.

We will rendezvous here
at this intersection by 1 1 :1 0,

1.5 kilometres from Powertech.

Understood?

Jonathan.

The Phoenix men. Would it not
be better if we killed them?

More questions, Armin?

What we are doing is a first
and I want it witnessed.

We are going to accomplish more
than just our leader's freedom.

And when it is over,
the American military complex

will do everything possible
to cover up the fact

that their defences could not prevent
four lone individuals

from crippling
one of their largest cities.

FRANK:
Jonathan.

There's no way to cover up
something this big.

They will try.

But the Phoenix Foundation
is a corporate white knight.

And when people come to them
looking for answers,

Phoenix will tell them the truth.
And they will be believed.

It is time. We must go.

PETE:
Did you hear that?

- Sounded like a truck.
MACGYVER: Yeah, it's a big rig.

They have something covered up
on the back.

Any idea what that could be?

I haven't a clue.

So...

So how do we get out of here?

I don't know.

You don't know?

MacGyver, don't do this to me.
Come on, think.

I'm trying, Pete.

You know, maybe you can come up
with something.

All right, maybe I can.

Let's see. Uh...

Uh...

Okay. I got it.

We throw one of the grenades there,
under the door.

We duck over there for cover,
and when it blows, we're out of here.

Yeah.

Except I think this place
would cave in on us.

Maybe you're right.

Uh...

Maybe we could find something
to replace the pins.

Yeah.

That's better.

- It's good, in fact.
- Really?

Yeah. I'll need your lift ticket.

Oh, well, that's fine.
How are you gonna get it?

Ever heard of a party game
called Pass the Apple?

[GUNSHOTS]

Take a look that way.

- You were right, no guard.
- He only checks in twice a day.

Like I said, this place is
an easy target.

This is where we patch in
to all the broadcasting signals.

Help me with this thing.

[CHATTERlNG
ON TV SCREENS]

Pull it.

Okay, right here.

This is suicide.
There's gotta be another way.

Well, if you think of one
in the next 30 seconds, let me know.

- Got it?
- Yeah, I got it.

But hurry.

There.

JONATHAN: I want it broadcast on
all stations, both radio and television.

I have to set the timer.

It's slipping.

- Don't talk.
- Yeah, but--

Get down. Run.

ARMlN: Twelve thousand
seven hundred telephones.

All the eggs in one basket.

Got another idea. Wanna hear it?

MACGYVER:
Yeah, shoot.

The detonator in the grenade.
You think that'll blow those doors?

Nope.

But you're on something, Pete.

C-4 inside it will.

Yeah?

You're doing good, Pete.

Here.

Get the detonator out of there.

Yeah, sure.

- Detonator.
- Yeah, here.

[EXPLOSlON]

PETE: It's just a power line.
There's no phone here.

- We've gotta get help.
- Let's check the truck.

No keys.

Listen, do you believe him?

You think they can really
do what he said they could?

Yeah. How about you?

I don't think we can afford not to.

[MOTOR REVS]

Let's get to a phone.

[HORN HONKlNG]

It's dead.

PETE:
Look, the windows.

PUPPET [ON TV]
They clash with my fur.

This one is out too.

- Maybe they got to a switching station.
- That could be.

He talked about weak links.
This sure fits.

Vectrocomp.

- Ring any bells?
- Yeah, we work with them.

They've been tied up
with the Air Force lately.

They specialise
in electromagnetic technology.

[CHATTERlNG
ON TV SCREENS]

[CRACKLlNG
ON TV SCREENS]

[HlGH-PlTCHED HUMMlNG]

JONATHAN [ON TV]: We, the soldiers
of the Black Dove Front,

have taken over
your public airwaves

to demand the liberation
of our leader,

General Shakthi.

He is to be released
before his court appearance

this afternoon at 1 :00

and taken to the airport,
where you will provide

a private aircraft
to return him to his homeland.

If you fail to do this,

we will strike a deadly blow
to the heart of your city.

We will attack your city
at its most vulnerable points.

All electrical systems
will be terminated.

Transportation will be brought
to a standstill,

creating massive gridlock
to all of your major thoroughfares.

Telephones, radios, television,

all forms of communication
will be cut.

Every computer
in the downtown core

will be rendered useless.

Their operational memory
and the information they contain

will be wiped clean.

Police and emergency services
will be powerless

to deal with the riots
and looting that will occur.

Many lives will be lost in the panic
that will grip your city.

The choice is yours.

You have until 1 :00 this afternoon
to release our leader,

or we shall bring
your city to its knees.

[CRACKLl NG]

MACGYVER:
They set the deadline for 1 :00.

That gives us less than an hour.

Well, if they had taken out
a switching station,

it'll take at least that long
to get a phone that works.

Think. Did you hear what he said?

I mean, how could four people

possibly do that much damage
to a city?

I mean, short of a nuclear bomb,
that is.

Vectrocomp.

My watch stopped.

[WHlRRlNG AND
TYRES SCREECHlNG]

My Jeep.

What's your jeep got to do
with your watch?

They both stopped
about the same time.

It would take an electromagnetic pulse
of some kind to do that.

And that is Vectrocomp's specialty.

Do you think they hijacked
an EMP generator of some kind?

I'll bet that's what was on the truck.

Suppose they hijacked
an EMP from these men.

Why would they take it
to the cabin?

I mean, why would they bother
to knock out a phone grid

- this far from the city?
- To create a dead zone to work in.

What for?

Power.

They need power.

Power?

Powertech. Heard of them?

PETE: Yeah. It's a multinational
energy development corporation.

They've got branches all over.

Maybe they got a branch around here.
In the dead zone.

Of course, it would take
an enormous source of energy

to feed an EMP generator
that could do that much damage.

"Powertech, High Voltage Lab.
1 460 lron Ridge Road."

- Let's find it.
- I saw a map in the truck.

I'm Marilyn Ross, reporting
from the federal courthouse,

and with me is Dr. Cromwell,

best selling author
of The Terrorist Game,

a book which detailed the activities
of the Black Dove Front

in the Mediterranean last year.

Tell us, doctor,

what is your assessment
of the televised threat they made?

Frankly, Marilyn,
I don't buy a word of it.

The Black Doves are obviously
making a last-ditch attempt

to keep their leader
from going to trial.

Is there other technology
they could use

to carry out such a threat?

In principle, yes,
but it's a good eight to ten years away.

The military has been experimenting
with electromagnetic-pulse generators

that produce
a similar atmospheric effect.

But I hardly think they'd have access
to that kind of technology.

LlSA:
Everybody on the floor.

On the floor. Get down. Now.

Who's in charge?

- I am.
- Open the doors.

Open the doors!

Now close it. Close it.

Get down with the rest of them.

We have to be loaded up
and out of here in 20 minutes.

- Where is it?
- Over here.

One high-density superconducting
energy storage magnet,

all recharged and rea--

What's going on?

- What's going on, I don't know.
- What's wrong?

It's empty, there's no power.
It's dead.

What? We planted you here
for two months to make sure

that everything was in place,
now this?

The maintenance was scheduled
to be finished last week.

It was supposed to be recharged
two days ago.

All right. Charge it now.

This is not a flashlight battery.
It takes all day.

We must be out of here
in 20 minutes.

There has to be another way.

Only one way.

What?

FRANK:
The high-voltage regulator.

We can force-feed this sucker
3 million volts

in one big gulp, but it's risky.

It could blow up our generator.

Nothing is as risky as certain failure.
Do it.

You know, if they have an EMP,

and they get
the right amount of power,

the electromagnetic pulse
could wipe out banking,

social security records, pensions,
even the stock exchange.

I mean, it could be a threat
to the entire nation's economy.

Put that on top of blackout,
gridlock, looting.

- It's kind of a grim picture.
- Yeah.

I just hope we're not the only ones
coming to this conclusion.

Tell me, colonel,
could these terrorists have stolen

an electromagnetic-pulse generator?

Absolutely impossible.

If we were experimenting
with such a weapon,

it would be under such tight security
there'd be no way these fanatics

could get within a mile,
let alone walk away with it.

You have to remember,
we would be talking about

a massive piece of equipment here.

Come on.

Look at this place.
No security. None.

As soon as you got it locked down,
you need to run the ground cable

over to the floor box,
then start connecting this cable

to the magnet terminals.

Look at that.

They have got an EMP.

What are they up to?

MACGYVER: That big tower looks like
some kind of high voltage generator.

I'd bet they're gonna charge up
that magnet,

and, yes, it can store enough energy
to do what they said they'd do.

I'm gonna have to climb up
and pull the plug.

How are you gonna do that
without getting spotted?

I can't.

Maybe I can slow them down.

I want that magnet charged
to its full capacity.

Mister, you're out of your mind.

That generator tower puts out
over 3 million volts of electricity.

If we release a charge like that
too fast, this whole place will go up.

We'll just have to take that chance.

Take over, Frank.

- Come, come, come.
- Three million volts, coming up.

Armin, get those cables hooked up.

[BUZZlNG OVER P.A.]

FRANK [OVER P.A.]:
Move it.

- What have you got?
- I'm gonna lock them in with that.

If they bust through...

...give this a yank.

- How much longer?
- Thirty seconds.

It's that Phoenix man.

Lisa, come.

Hold it.

There goes the other one.
He's going for the cable.

[GUNSHOTS]

No. You'll hit the tower.
Finish that connection.

The moment it's charged, hit it.

Move, inside. Move. Quickly.

Almost. That's it.

[BEEPlNG]

- Charged.
- Fire.

No. Armin's still up there.

I said, fire.

[BLASTS]

No!

[ELECTRlClTY CRACKLlNG]

You butcher.

[GUNSHOT]

[GRUNTS]

JONATHAN:
Never mind. Never mind.

See if it worked.

FRANK:
The generator's fully discharged.

It worked.

Let's go.

You. You. Open the door.

Get back.

JONATHAN:
Hey. We've got your friend.

Interfere with us again
and he's dead.

I promise you that.

FRANK: Move it.
PETE: All right.

FRANK:
Do it.

MACGYVER: Please, think.
Did they say anything at all about

- where they were taking that thing?
- Nothing, they just wanted to get

the superconductor storage magnet
charged and out of here.

Do you have any idea what
pulse range the EMP might have?

With 3 million volts on board?

I figure at least two miles.

All right, they've got 1 5 minutes
before their deadline.

Where is the closest vantage point
of the city?

There's only one.
At the end of the road.

Jericho Point.

First a witness, now a hostage.

You are a valuable man,
Mr. Thornton.

WOMAN [ON TV]:
Will you release Shakthi?

It's government policy not to give in

to the demands of any
terrorist organisation.

Your policy's about to expire.

Enjoy your front-row seat.

--the Black Dove Threat
will continue.

With just five minutes left until 1 :00,
we have received word

that General Shakthi
is now in transit.

It's not yet clear if he's being
taken to the airport and released,

or brought here
to the federal courthouse

to face trial as planned.

Get it going.
Power up the capacitors.

FRAN K:
Storage magnet drained.

All capacitors charging.
Three million volts ready to go.

All right.

1 2:57.

Set the timer for three minutes.
I will focus the dish.

[TlMER BEEPlNG]

[CRACKLlNG]

Something is wrong.

Keep an eye on the power level.

[GRUNTlNG]

Frank?

Can you turn it off?

No, it's locked
in automatic sequence.

[BEEPlNG]

[WHlRRlNG]

[CRACKLlNG]

No, what MacGyver did
was connect the generator

to the superconductor,
then back to the generator. Right?

Yeah. Sort of like giving it
a shot of its own medicine.

This is a matter
of national security, officer.

My men will debrief you.

Do you realise
you have just destroyed

a multimillion-dollar piece
of top-secret military hardware?

Sorry.

Listen, it was the only way.

I'll give you the full details
in my report.

There's not gonna be any report,
Mr. Thornton.

I feel a stonewall coming here.

Yeah, but it's not gonna happen.

Count on it.

So, Pete,

what do you feel like doing
next weekend?

Well, l--
