All language subtitles for 7x13 The Stringer

You are Major Antifran?

MacGyver. I'm Tani. The shipment's in
the warehouse.

What are you doing now?

What are you doing now?

What are you doing now?

What are you doing now?

What are you doing now? What are you
doing now?

Yeah, globe -wide, this is Lee.

Kanye has made contact with an American.

They are in the warehouse.

Deal with them.

Made in Korea. Ha! All these came from
Camp Zero, a forced labor prison in

China. Yeah, I know.

I got a lot of friends there. Other
students. They're being stopped and

so the fascists in Beijing can get rich.

Uh, Mei Xian said you smuggled out a
videotape.

I hid it over here.

It's been magnetically coded. Can you
unscramble it?

Yeah, no problem.

What's on it? The truth about Camp Zero.

A girl sent there smuggled in the
camera.

She got this out before the guards
discovered what she was up to and

her.

Hold it right there.

That's fine enough.

Get out! Get out!

I've got to get out of here.

Give me the tape.

Hand it over. Now!

Get on!

You might want to cover up.

That's our way out.

They won't be following.

I guess you could say I gave him a free
tune -up.

Name's MacGyver.

Yeah, I'm, uh, Sam.

Hey, Sam.

Thanks for your help.

What were you doing back there, anyway?

Oh, working.

I'm a stringer.

Photojournalist?

MacGyver! I was so worried. I was
gonna... Make your hand.

A couple of guys showed up. Tenny?

He didn't make it.

I'm sorry.

He did give me this to give to you.

He's a friend of yours?

He helped me out.

Sam Mason.

Thank you, Sam.

I don't know what this is all about, but
you're welcome.

Please, come inside.

Wait there, Tonya.

All we got was a phone number. Then the
American has the tape.

We must move quickly.

Put the crates back on the freighter.
Hide the body along with it.

Leave nothing.

China has a thousand Lao guys.

Forced labor proof and holding millions
of people. Most of them political.

Camp Zero is the biggest.

We heard that the students arrested in
Tiananmen Square were being sent there

slave labor.

Do you think the stuff in those crates
was made at Camp Zero?

Hopefully we can prove that.

Yeah, but it's illegal to import
anything made with convict labor.

And how would they get it past customs?

There's a ring of import companies.

They ride the shipments through Hong
Kong and Korea to confuse customs.

All right, got it.

That's Ling Yi.

What? It's Ling Yi.

They were in Tiananmen Square when the
soldiers attacked.

Don't the Chinese deny using student
protesters as slavery?

Yeah.

They should shoot some holes in their
story.

I must fuck Beijing and let them know
that we have the tape.

And also about Tianyi.

So, photojournalist, what's the story at
the warehouse?

Well, I was following those two goons,
hoping they'd lead me to a guy named

Chung.

But instead, they led me to you.

Who's Chung?

Chung Taishan.

Look.

That's him there in the middle.

He owns a big Asian import company
called Globewide.

Yeah, why are you after him?

Well, ten years ago, he was... Colonel
Chung in the Red Chinese Army.

I want to expose him as a murderer.

Why? You got proof?

I saw him.

I was only nine at the time, but I'll
never forget that face.

Ten years is a long time, Sam.

He killed my mother.

Mom was a photojournalist.

She was working on a story about the
democratic movement in China.

They were staying in a small village
near Beijing.

One night there was a meeting.

Soldiers came.

Mom made me hide.

Shot resisting arrest.

That's the official story.

How'd you know that?

Um... I knew a woman.

She was killed in China.

What was your mom's name?

Catherine.

She thought it sounded as dark as she
liked to be called. Kate.

Yeah. Kate Malloy.

You knew her?

I, uh, yeah.

Yeah, we're friends.

Close friends.

Well, I mean, it was a long time ago. It
was, uh, 20 years.

Mom gave me this.

It's got a couple of pictures in it.

One's of her.

She said the other one was my father.

It is you, isn't it?

You're my father.

Pete, it's too late, MacGyver. The
warehouse is cleaned out. Ah, terrific.

Terrific. But we still have the tape on
Camp Zero.

Mei Jian, I'm sorry, but if we don't
present solid evidence to the State

Department that the Chinese have been
smuggling banned goods into the U .S.,

those trade talks are going out of
schedule.

Then Tan Yi died for nothing?

Chung's very efficient.

Oh, uh, Sam, this is Pete Dorn. He works
for the Phoenix Foundation.

Hi. Sam, are you a friend of MacGyver's?

Uh, actually, I'm a relative.

A what?

MacGyver?

It's a long story, Pete.

Uh, the guys who killed your friend work
for a company called GlobeWide.

The owner's name is Chung.

All right, I'll check it out right away.

MacGyver? Pete?

Why don't we look inside?

MacGyver, I thought your grandfather
Harry was your last living relative.

Yeah, me too.

Well, then what line of the family is
Sam from?

Oh, I guess you could say he's from my
side, John.

He's my son.

Your what?

He's my son, Pete.

I, uh, I knew his mother a long time
ago.

Like I said, it's a long story.

Yeah, I bet it is.

Your son.

You're a father.

Imagine that.

Yeah.

Yeah, imagine that.

Pete, I swear to you, the crates were
here.

You still see the dust pack in the left?

Well, MacGyver, you finding anything?

Well, maybe, Pete.

There's a beetle here.

Might help us determine where the crates
were from.

Yeah? How?

A forensic entomologist.

Oh, yeah.

Well, we happen to have one of those in
Phoenix.

Dr. Fleck.

Well, we want to get him working on it.

See if he can find out where this little
guy's from.

Sure. Oh,

I haven't run a spectrograph on this.

Yeah.

Steel smelt in China would have a high
ratio of iron isotopes.

Yeah, sure.

Well, I'll let you know as soon as I get
something.

We need to chip off the old block, isn't
he?

Yeah.

You know, Pete, I don't know if I'm
ready for this.

You mean being a father?

Yeah.

Well, as one father to another, let me
tell you something. You're never ready.

I mean, it's like life.

You take what comes and make the best of
it.

And you're pretty good at that.

And after the soldiers left, I spent the
night crying my eyes out.

Next morning, I hiked to Beijing.

Wait a minute. You were nine years old,
and you hiked through Red China?

Yeah. I always could take care of
myself.

Mom said it runs in the family.

Anyway, a couple of mom's reporter
friends brought me back to the States,

since mom had no relatives left, they
took care of me until I was old enough

make it on my own.

Why didn't you try to find me?

All I had was the picture from this
locket.

And Mom died before she even told me
your name.

You remember her?

Tough lady to forget.

Yeah.

This was the last time we were together.

After we graduated, she went to cover a
story in Brazil.

Yeah.

Why didn't she tell me?

Well, Mom said you moved around a lot,
helping people all over the world.

And she said that she'd introduce us
when we'd both grown up.

She knew me pretty well.

Yeah.

She told me one time you were both like
discoverers, that most people could be

happy living in one place all their
lives, but the two of you could only be

happy if you were on the road to
somewhere else.

She said that runs in the family, too.

she loved you too.

I transmitted your description of the
American to Beijing.

They believe it was this man.

Yeah, that's him.

MacGyver. He works for the Phoenix
Foundation.

champion of so -called human rights
causes.

Beijing says that he is an active
sympathizer with a group of student

led by this girl.

If MacGyver gave her the tape, she would
use it to destroy the trade talks with

the United States.

We must stop her. How can we find her?

This phone number you found on Tang Yi.

What's that?

It's a fax machine.

Probably one of the student underground
lines.

Should be easy to trace.

Topal? Wheaton?

Don't you have anything that's even a
little bad for you?

Harry used to say, eating healthy never
hurt anybody.

Who's Harry?

He was your great -grandfather.

Yeah.

I think you would have liked him.

Yeah.

That's all right.

I'll contort.

You got any bread?

How'd your mom come up with that?

Well, actually, my real name's Sean.

Sam's a nickname.

Sean A. Malloy.

S -A -M. Sam. Get it?

Yeah.

What about the A?

Uh, that's my middle name.

Let me guess.

Ang.

Yeah. Mom loved it.

Yeah, I know.

I'm not too crazy about it, though.

I know the feeling.

Yeah? MacGyver, it's Pete. I've got some
info.

Dr. Fleck identified that beetle you
found.

It's called a metallic wood borer. How
do you like that?

And it's native to only one region in
south -central China.

Hunan province.

Exactly. And that is where Camp Zero is
located.

Oh, and Sam was right.

The spectrograph test on that engine
part you gave me detected a high ratio

iron isotopes. That metal was definitely
smelted in China.

Listen, with this and the tape, I think
we have enough to go to the State

Department. At least the Secretary's
going to have to listen.

Well, what about Chung?

Well, I checked out his company, and it
seems legit.

But there's very little personal data on
Chung.

He seems to stay pretty much to himself.

I did get his address.

What is it?

54 Oakwood Estate.

You know, even if he is the front man
for this smuggling pipeline we've got

here, we don't have enough to go after
him. Yeah, I know, Pete.

How soon can we get to the State
Department?

Well, I've already made an appointment.

Listen, May Jeanne is over at the
student underground office, and she has

tape. I need for you to go over there,
pick her up, and bring her over here.

All right, will do.

What are you doing with that?

Maybe you don't have enough to go after
Chung, but I do.

Not with that you don't.

It's all Chung needed.

Let me understand something, then.

You're actually planning to go out and
take a human life?

Well, the law can't touch him. So what?

You're the judge, jury, and executioner?
He was.

I saw him put a gun to her head.

I want justice.

All right, hold it right there.

Murder is not justice.

The killing has got to stop with us.

We should be telling ourselves we're
good enough to solve our problems

taking human life.

The killing has got to stop, Sam.

Right now, that's a choice you've got to
make.

What do you know?

My first father -son lecture.

Yeah.

How was it?

Kind of hard to take.

Not bad.

I still can't believe you're really a
son.

Yeah, I know.

Isn't it wonderful, MacGyver?

No, not that I think about it. There is
a resemblance.

Thank you.

Once we're outside U .S. water, the
shipment goes overboard, along with our

revolutionary.

We set sail in half hour.

Stay here. Got the girl.

Yeah,

thanks. I've got it.

A computer check just turned up a
freighter under contract to Chung's

It sails for Hong Kong from Pier 16 this
afternoon.

All right.

I'll check it out.

I'm going to go with you.

I don't think so. There could be some
trouble. Look, we just found out you're

father, okay?

That's father, not boss. I've been on my
own a long time.

And I'm old enough to vote. I'm old
enough to fight for my country. Not to

mention the fact that I am a
professional photojournalist, and I'm

one hell of a story.

So back off.

I'm going with you.

Pete.

Nope. Sorry.

I make it a point never to get involved
in family arguments.

Thanks.

Well, what do you know?

My first son -father lecture.

How was it?

Kind of hard to take.

But okay.

Got any idea how we're going to get
aboard?

Well, I guess we ride.

What's wrong?

I'm a little afraid of heights.

That's fine. They don't bother me.

You got that from your mother.

He's guarding something.

RUN!

Come on, we gotta go.

Wait! The crates from the warehouse,
they're in the hole!

We gotta get to a farm.

Dad It

appears

we will have more burials at sea to
perform

Your arm's broken.

He scared me, man.

How long have I been out?

Just a few minutes.

Where's my shot?

They took her up to the bridge.

Hold still.

Where'd you learn how to do that?

I don't know.

This kind of made sense.

Huh.

I should have listened to you.

Going after Chung was stupid and... Hey,
we all make mistakes.

Yeah, it's a mistake.

Look at the fix I got us into.

You gotta learn to be more optimistic.

Look at all the options.

All the doors are locked.

You can't climb.

I only see one option.

Captain say we cleared to cast off.

Excellent.

You see, you accomplished nothing.

When the United States renews our trade
status, there will be an economic boom

in China.

As for your slave labor?

Perhaps instead of being executed for
treason, you will be sent to Camp Zero

along with your student friends.

They will need help keeping up with the
demand.

Hey, we can tear these crates apart and
use them to make a ladder.

No, that'd take too long.

Yeah, you're right.

I wish we could just sprout wings.

we can.

We can?

How?

Water pressure?

Yeah.

3 ,000 pounds of thrust ought to do it.

Uh, there any people up left in that
crate?

Yeah, a lot. Rig up a couple of
harnesses for me.

Hey, might need that.

We can use these for frames for the
harness. Perfect.

Mom said you're pretty good at getting
out of jams.

I hope she's right.

So do I.

I think you think.

You sure about this?

Your great -grandfather used to say,
only fools are sure of anything a wise

keeps on guessing.

You're right.

I would have liked him.

But when the pressure right lies, we hit
the nozzle.

Okay?

What about me, Sam?

We gotta get her off the bridge.

Hey, wait.

How about a small meeting?

Good idea.

Cut the top off there.

You got a match?

Yeah.

The man.

Drop your gun.

No.

Mei Zhan, don't. No!

This is for Tang Yi.

Mei Zhan, put the gun down.

Don't you see?

This is all that people like him
understand.

That's his way.

Not yours.

Not ours.

Don't you see? If you kill him, then
Tanny's death really was for nothing.

It has to stop with us.

It has to.

would be crap.

Hi, Mr. Thornton.

Sam.

What, are you guys all packed for your
trip?

Just finished.

Oh, uh, MacGyver, the Phoenix Board
asked me to give you this.

Pete, it's an offer of a new contract,
and it's very generous. I think you

to look at it. We've been through this
before, Pete.

Sam and I got a little catching up to
do.

Well, I told him I didn't think he'd go
for it.

You know, I can't even imagine what it's
going to be like without you around

here.

Well, it was bound to happen.

Things change.

Not always.

Good things don't.

Don't you ever change, MacGyver?

Don't you either, Pete.

Can I expect you to drop in once in a
while, anyway?

Count on it, my friend.

Sam.

Take care of your old man, will you?

You can count on him.

So, uh... Where to?

Somewhere else.

This is Richard Dean Anderson.

On behalf of all of us at MacGyver, I'd
like to thank you, our audience, for

seven great seasons.
