( engine sputtering to a stop )

Welcome to Paradise!

( chuckles )

Relax.

Come on, Sims, relax.

Nobody saw you get on the aircraft.

And as far as everybody's concerned,

you're still in the States.

Hey, you're home free.

Yeah.

The police are probably following me now.

Not here.

( laughs )

Relax. Come on, it's cool.

Right.

Let's take a look at the goods.

Ha, I've always wanted to see

what $60 million in diamonds looked like.

SIMS: $6 million is your share.

I wouldn't cheat you, Catlin.

You're an accountant, Sims.

Figure it out.

( laughs )

MAN: I trusted Daniel Sims.

No one's blaming you, Senator.

I'm blaming me!

I was Chairman of the Famine Aid Committee.

That $60 million was raised

on my name, my friends,

my reputation.

And it was stolen by the man I hired.

Daniel Sims.

It's not my reputation

I care about, MacGyver.

What Catlin stole isn't just dollars.

These people are dying today.

That money was raised to save human lives.

When my daughter, Chris, heard about it, she flew back

from Africa.

She's in the Virgin Islands now.

She's trying to find some way to get to Catlin, but...

nothing's worked.

Nothing.

MacGYVER: Well, then, I better get going.

( indistinct conversation )

MAN: Here they come. Billy?

Hi.

Your name MacGyver?

That's amazing. So is mine.

You're MacGyver?

Oh, sorry.

I guess I was expecting another high-powered lawyer

or an ex-FBI agent

with another great idea that doesn't work...

I-I'm sorry.

I'm a little wound up.

Chris Rhodes.

MacGYVER: Your father tells me

you've been researching things here.

You can start by

telling me what you know about Catlin.

He keeps what amounts to a private army around here.

Some of them arrived with him.

He used to be a mercenary,

soldier-of-fortune.

Asia Minor, Libya.

In Angola, they call him The Butcher.

Hey, Chris, we're gonna get to him.

Just what exactly do you do, MacGyver?

What else do you know about Catlin?

He came to the Virgin Islands

about five years ago with a gaudy reputation

and a lot of money.

( laughs )

With which he bought this hotel and casino.

Huh-- Catlin's little hideaway.

You don't like him much, do you?

You know, I was in the Peace Corps in Africa.

I know what famine does.

( laughter )

CHRIS: There he is.

Welcome...

to my little exhibition.

That's Catlin.

MAN: Come on over, guys.

( people gasping, groaning )

( men grunting )

( audience members gasping, fighters grunting )

WOMAN: Oh!

( grunting and audience groaning )

( grunting )

( audience groaning )

( applause )

We got a confirmation from Amsterdam.

They can handle the diamonds.

All of them?

$60 million to be paid to a Swiss account.

We need flight plans and clearances.

I want to be off this island in 48 hours.

See to it.

He looks like a happy guy.

( soft chuckle )

Why not? We can't touch him.

Maybe we can.

What if I were to just to go in and...

take the diamonds from Catlin?

My God, you're a thief!

CHRIS: It's impossible!

It's ridiculous!

( stammering ): It's illegal.

Why?

Catlin claims he doesn't have the diamonds.

You tell me how taking something that doesn't exist

constitutes breaking the law, hmm?

Because we can't just...

Well, because we-we can't just plan a break-in,

or-or pull off some kind of farfetched caper, or...

( laughs )

You know, you're right.

What the hell!

We'll do it!

What you mean

"we"?

You were in the Peace Corps, not the Green Berets, remember?

Come on, what's your plan?

I have found from past experiences

that the tighter your plan, the more likely you are

to run into something... unpredictable.

Okay.

How, then?

We fake it.

Oh, great.

Great!

We are in deep trouble.

Look, for starters,

we're probably talking about 200 pounds of diamonds.

Now, where's he gonna store that?

Believe me, I know Catlin.

He wouldn't trust his own mother.

Everything he has,

he guards.

So?

So, I researched all the construction permits

on the casino.

He built in two security vaults--

a big one in the casino

and another one in his private suite.

Then that's where I'll start.

Where do we begin?

I begin by getting a look

at the inside of that casino vault,

see if the diamonds are there.

I'll go in as a high roller.

Start shootin' and see what...

CHRIS: Catlin's casino is,

well, frankly, dishonest.

Nobody wins.

The vault in the casino has got to be guarded and locked,

so the best way to get a look at the inside is by invitation.

So, I'll have to make sure I win big at the crap table.

Get them to store my money in their vault.

How can you be so sure you'll win?

I'll cheat.

Not bad.

You look like James Bond.

I feel like...

James Bond.

I'm in disguise.

( horn honking )

( buzz of conversation )

BOTH: Oh!

Oh, I'm so sorry!

You stupid little fool!

You spilled this drink all over my dress!

MacGYVER: Nice lady.

WOMAN: Do you know

how much this costs? - I-I know. I'm sorry.

WOMAN: My husband gave it to me for my birthday.

MacGYVER: Should be right to give me a proper diversion.

WOMAN: I want to know your name.

I'd like to speak to your supervisor.

WAITRESS: I'm so sorry. You're absolutely right.

It was my fault. It was very clumsy of me.

MacGYVER: When I was a kid, the first time I went fishing,

I had to jury rig my own line.

WOMAN: This is an absolute outrage!

MacGYVER: It worked.

Caught a fish that turned a lot of eyes.

WOMAN: ...So embarrassed in my life...

MacGYVER: This catch should do the same thing.

WOMAN: This is absolutely ridiculous!

I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I'm sorry.

I'm soaking wet in the middle of the casino.

I mean, where is the manager?

I... I want to talk to somebody...

I want this replaced!

Oh. Oh.

Excuse me.

( crowd chatter )

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh. God! I... Oh, God! Oh!

What...

What are you looking at?

( crowd chatter )

( laughing )

( people laughing and exclaiming )

Winner, seven.

Front line winner.

Play come.

Any craps.

Cut the seven.

Again.

CROUPIER: Lucky seven, 11, any craps.

( women exclaiming )

Number's up on the come-out.

Comin' out.

Cut to seven,

bet the hard eight, hard eight.

( people gasping )

Seven again.

Pay the front line.

Front seven shooter.

Bet the front line.

Bet the seven, 11, any craps.

Bet the hard eight.

MacGYVER: Let it ride.

I've got this afternoon's net winnings figure.

What is it, Jack?

That's the one.

Your Virgin Mary, sir.

Oh. Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

You're welcome.

Okay, here we go.

Come on.

( people exclaiming )

CROUPIER: Seven.

Right here, bet the front line.

Any craps.

I want you to find out who he is.

My pleasure.

Uh, we'll let that ride again.

Hi.

I'm Tiffany.

Bond.

James Bond.

Uh, again.

Oh, I'm sorry, sir.

That's over our limit.

Let it ride.

Good luck.

Somehow, I know you mean that.

CATLIN: Would you like to go again

for the whole $130,000?

Lucky dice.

CATLIN: Let's see how lucky you really are.

Think I'll pass.

Don't want to be greedy.

This table is closed, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me.

I have to ask a favor.

I'm going to feel a little nervous

walking around with all

of your money in my pockets.

I assume the casino has a vault?

Not a very big vault, is it?

CATLIN: No, but big enough to keep your money safe

until you're ready to have another try

at your luck, Mr., uh...

MacGyver.

MacGyver.

I haven't seen you around.

I haven't been around.

So, Jack, it's been fun.

I'll tell you, Jack,

I've about had my fill of the crap table.

Mr. MacGyver, you made six straight passes.

The odds are against it.

MacGYVER: Yeah, that's why

they call it gambling, I guess.

These dice are perfect.

Yeah, you can say that again.

Huh?

Which is why we noticed...

you've forgotten your drink.

Seven. The hard way.

I'd like you to accompany these gentlemen to my office.

It's a little more private.

Take him out.

Well, Jack, you've been terribly civil

about this up until now.

Why not?

Oh! Oh, you clods.

The least you could do is help me up.

All right, you, hold it.

Hold it, I said.

( blows whistle )

This way!

CATLIN: It's stuck!

GUARD: Hold it! Get him!

( gunshots )

Think, MacGyver.

Of course.

Hey, MacGyver, what happened?

The diamonds aren't in the casino vault.

They must be in his private suite.

Oh, great.

I never said it was going to be easy.

How can you sleep?

Usually, it's no problem.

MacGyver....

Come on, MacGyver.

( grunts )

It was terrific.

I mean last night.

I was scared and excited and...

it's like all the frustration just let go.

Felt good, did it?

Oh, felt great.

More coffee?

Uh, more coffee?

Sure.

That Catlin's suite?

Mm-hmm,

and the diamonds must be in his vault.

Well, I'll find 'em.

Well, we don't have to worry about Catlin--

he's always on the casino floor--

but last night his security guard

told me that Catlin has a spy camera

and an alarm system covering the suite.

Well, the guy figures to be a little careful.

MacGyver, there are over 200 pounds

of diamonds in there.

Even if you can open the vault,

getting the diamonds out'll be impossible.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

But the way I plan to do it,

it's going to be kinda noisy,

kind of, uh, public.

You know what I mean?

So I'm going to need a major distraction.

Small riot

in the casino would do just fine.

You're going to cause a riot in Catlin's casino?

Oh, you bet.

You can't possibly show your face in there again.

I won't.

You will.

( dial tone droning )

I hope I can walk with that thing in there.

Just make sure you get this magnet

as close to the roulette wheel as possible.

( laughs ): Maybe I can hop.

No, it'll be all right.

What are you doing with my ring?

Give me your finger.

Ooh, who am I supposed to scratch?

You're not going to scratch anybody.

Just like this when you're playing blackjack.

Oh, and then accuse them of cheating.

Yeah.

Then you do the roulette, the slots.

But, Chris, you got to make sure it comes together at 2:10 sharp.

All right, you remember,

as soon as the diamonds are in my car,

you get in your car and you go.

I'll be right behind you.

But it's got to come together at 2:10 a.m. sharp,

or we're history.

I'll be here. - Good.

MacGyver?

Yeah... we're gonna make it.

MacGYVER: Now if Thomas Edison is correct,

at 2:10, when these wires touch,

all the slot machines and lights in the casino

oughta go crazy.

MAN: Excuse me.

Think this machine will change my luck?

Win some, lose some.

MacGYVER: Going to have to deal

with that security camera in the penthouse hall.

The mirror from Chris' compact

ought to show them a thing or two.

CROUPIER: All bets down, please.

( door opening )

MacGYVER: All right, got to call a little attention to myself.

It should take at least 90 seconds

for the security people to get up here.

About enough time for me to get into Catlin's.

Maybe.

Thomas? - Yeah.

Some kind of interference.

Go check it out.

( buzz of conversation )

Good evening.

Is there anything you need?

I could use some luck... right about now.

Yeah, it's okay down here, too.

Great.

No combination, no lock, no nothing.

And you're no help.

Maybe.

Hey, Catlin, how about bringing me

some luck?

I've already lost $30,000.

Tonight, luck is with the lady.

It's the penthouse again.

Get up there. I'm on my way.

I'll tell Mr. Catlin.

Place your bets. Round and round.

All bets down now.

( whispers ): Mr. Catlin,

we have an intruder alarm in your penthouse apartment.

Excuse me. I'll be right back.

Looks good to me, Mr. Catlin.

Something set the alarm off.

Don't do what he tells you.

I'll kill her unless you do exactly as I say.

I'm here.

There's a small park just near the breakwater.

Oh, and MacGyver...

don't forget to bring the diamonds.

Morning.

Where's Chris?

Straight ahead. Turn at the breakwater.

Your lady's waiting in the plane.

Let go!

MacGyver!

See, MacGyver?

You wanted the girl...

you got the girl.

You gave him the diamonds?

Ah, yes, our Mr. MacGyver is quite the romantic.

That's why... he loses

and I win.

Okay, let's go up front.

You two, come on.

Still got the ring?

What?

Oh, yeah. - Use it.

You two! Inside!

Get the jack out of that trunk fast!

Take it up to 30,000 feet.

The lack of oxygen will kill 'em.

I got an idea.

All right, time to go.

All right, all right! I'm ready.

I hope this thing works.

Consider it a test drive.

Now, get yourself down and brace yourself.

This could be fun.

Oh!

You can come up now.
