All language subtitles for Macgyver S01e08

Some people say there are no more
frontiers left for us to conquer.

But then again, some people
still go out into the wilderness

in search of their dream.

MaCGyver!

Hey, Mac!

Trouble is, sometimes that dream
can become a living nightmare.

Darling!

Oh, I've missed you, MacGyver.

Elegant as ever.

As beautiful as ever.
And oh, so sexy.

How did Bill ever see you

- before I did?
- Well, just lucky, I guess.

Yeah, I'd say.

- How is he?
- Terrific. Really.

And how's the project?

Wonderful, exciting,
and Bill says it's gonna make us rich.

Always said you're my best friends.

Okay, Torg, tie her off!

- Slow it down.
- Okay, Bill.

Hold the drilling bit steady.

Okay, I got it.

- Hey, come on, let's go.
- That'll take us down

to about 1,800 feet.

Yeah, maybe we'll have to go
down another 2,000.

You gotta have faith.

I smell hydrocarbons.

There's oil down there, son!

Hold it!

Gas pocket!

But it means there's really oil
down there, Bill.

Yeah!

Come on, baby! Come on up!

Oh, I thank you, God.

We gotta let the gas bleed out
before we can drill.

Hey, MacGyver! We're gonna be rich!

- Hey, Pete! Meet our best friend.
- Yeah!

Damn, MacGyver!

I don't hardly recognize you.

- That's because I'm not me anymore.
- Where have you been?

Oh, yeah! Get over here!

Get over here with me. Get over here.

Hey, glad you could
drop by my estate.

I was in the neighbourhood.
What can I say?

- It's good to see you.
- You too.

- It's been a while.
- Master of the understatement.

"It's been a while." What was it?

- Sumatra?
- Yeah.

You flew straight in from Texas,
all duded up in your fancy hat,

your ten-gallon boots
and put on a party.

You didn't even know
where Sumatra was.

- I had jet lag. Heavy-duty partying.
- Yeah.

- Before I met you, hon.
- Oh, sure, sure.

Was he as hopeless a liar
when he was a kid, huh?

I'd be lying if I said no.

Hey, I'm about to forget
my manners here.

Hey, Pete!

Get over here.

Got somebody I want you to meet.

MacGyver, Pete Torgut.

- Hey, Pete, how you doing?
- Pleasure.

Heard a lot about you.

- Hellcatting with this clown.
- No way.

No, I'd help rig the well,
but he'd blow it out.

Oh, MacGyver's just being modest.

Listen, I got some more picking up
to do. Thanks for dropping down.

So this is what you gave up
hellfighting for.

You know, wildcat drilling isn't exactly
the greatest way to make a living.

"Make a living." Mac, if today's
core samples check out

with the geological reports
you brought me,

man, we're sitting on an empire.
You wanna buy a share?

Yeah, line it up here, Pete. Yeah.

Have a look.

This is our area.
That could be our gas pocket.

Where is that striation overlay?

- Let's see if it matches up.
- Laura, look, look.

Oh, you're just amazing.

Man of many, many, many, many,
many, many talents.

I'll say.

Fresh coffee. Get it while it's hot.

- Bill?
- Thanks, hon.

- Pete?
- Oh, thank you.

Put the light on, would you.

Oh, sure.

- See how that lower level juts down?
- We've gone deeper than that already.

- Fuse blew again.
- Oh, no.

Got a fuse box?

See, I was right, Pete.

Where's that second overlay?

Well, there's the problem.

Got a spare fuse?

You're holding it.

I try to make do with shorter orders
on the supply runs.

Fuses,

batteries for the radio...

Guess it's kind of catching up
to me now.

- Gum?
- No thanks.

So things are kind of tight, huh?

Yeah, kind of.

What are you doing
with that gum wrapper?

Well, maybe we can get around
this fuse problem, temporarily.

Great!

You bridged the fuse.

Now, why can't I come up with
money-saving ideas like that?

Listen, Laura,

when Bill got hurt, how bad was it?

I thought he was gonna die.

Three months in the burn ward.

It was my worst nightmare.

So he quit?

- He was the best, you know.
- Sure.

And probably tough enough
just to last forever.

But I'm not.

And I asked him to make a choice.

Hellfighting...

...Ol' US.

He chose right.

I don't know.

We've put all the money
we saved into it,

every cent that we could borrow.
Nothing's left.

It's all out there.

This land and that derrick.

If this doesn't work out...

...Bill will go back to hellfighting.

And I...

Hey, Bill, look at this.

- It all checks out.
- Let's see.

There it is. That's it.

Oil!

Laura! We're gonna be rich!

- It looks good!
- Yeah, it's great.

We did it, babe. We did it.

- All right!
- Yeah!

- We did it!
- All right!

- We're gonna be rich.
- Yeah!

Oh, I love you.

Pete, cut the power!

- One of the bulbs blew!
- No!

Get back, it's gonna blow!
Get out of here! Get out!

Pete!

Pete!

Oh, God!

Stay back! Get back!

Come on, get him!

Oh, God.

Turn him over!

- Come on!
- Hurry!

God, hurry!

Easy, Pete.

You'll be all right.

You know, you got yourself
a simple fracture there.

Got off lucky.

Yeah, I'm a real lucky guy.

Couldn't get any better.

Of course, you know, we're gonna
have to give it a pretty good yank,

straighten it, get a splint on it.

Well, what are you waiting for, doc?
Let's do it.

Oh, I was just wondering...

- You having doubts you can do it?
- No, that's no problem.

It has to do with Curie's law.

Curie's what?

- Curie's law?
- Yeah.

You know, the one that says
the magnetic susceptibility

of a paramagnetic substance
is inversely proportional

to the absolute temperature,
you know.

The magnetic susceptibility to the...

On the other hand,

don't think about it.

You're real slick, MacGyver.

Well, naked dancing girls might have
been a little better, but, you know...

Just let everything flow.

- Okay?
' Okay_

- All right.
- Good man.

- I get the feeling we're not rich.
- You guys are losing me here.

You know, there are all kinds of
hydrocarbons coming out of that hole.

Even with my limited experience,

that generally means
there's oil down there.

I agree.

Just wait for the supply plane,
hire a fire-fighting crew.

Your credit ought to be good,
with all that oil coming in.

Not inside the next two weeks.

Which is when our lease runs out.

No way we can get a crew here
inside two months.

Well, maybe we ought to consider
putting it out ourselves.

With What?

Know-how, ingenuity.

Dynamite wouldn't hurt.

The last time I did that,

I used 5 million dollars' worth
of equipment and explosives.

We don't have any gear,

the dynamite blew away yesterday.

Bill, they used dynamite up
at Tenstrike Mine.

Where's that?

It's an old strip-mining operation.

Played out six, seven years ago.
It's abandoned.

Maybe they left some stuff behind.

We could maybe do it.

No.

I almost lost you once, Bill.

You made me a promise.

No more hellfighting.

No, Laura,
I've worked with Bill before.

Bet you I could handle it.

With Bill backing me up, of course.

- He wouldn't have to go in?
- No way!

Who needs him?

I can do that part myself,

providing we find some dynamite
up at the mine.

Listen, does that truck run?

Damn well better.

That mine's 40, 50 miles,
other side of the hills.

Well, then, why don't we take off
at first light.

This road would definitely be
an E ride at Disneyland.

Yeah, it's a roller coaster, all right.

We ought to be reaching
that old mine pretty soon.

Unless we're lost.

Hey, there she is!

Tenstrike Mine, up ahead!

Where do you think they stored
the dynamite around here?

Powder shack.
Look for the powder shack.

What do you say? Over there?

Yeah, looks like it.

Cross your fingers that they left
something we can use behind.

Yep, finders keepers.

Well, if there's any dynamite around,
it would be in here.

Look at that!
Plenty for what we need.

Oh, right!

You always did have great moves.

I wonder if I could sue the builder.

You know this building's coming down
with the first strong wind.

- Hey, you wanna live forever?
- Thinking about it.

Stuff's been here for a while.

Yeah, could be touchy.

Let's see what we got here.

It's dry.

Yeah, too dry.

I'll bet you a lot of the nitroglycerine
has leaked out already.

Well, let's try it.

Pure nitro.

Stuff will go off if you sneeze.

Let's try not to sneeze.

Stuff works good.

Well, that may be unstable,

but there's nothing worse
than pure nitro.

Still...

It's gonna be fun
putting it on my fire, Mac.

Two.

Three!

- You okay? How does that feel?
- Good. Good.

What was it you said to me?

- You'd rather be burned than bored?
- Sure would.

And you know all about that, Mac.

Yeah, but I'm not married.

Laura's the reason I gave it up.

There's no question about that.
I have no regrets.

You know, Laura,

I'm starting to understand
what Bill used to do.

Fighting something like that,
that would scare the hell out of me.

We put out the fire,
we bring in the well.

That's all I want.
And then I'll settle down.

I'll get fat, I'll have kids.

I'll tell dumb stories
about how great I used to be.

And how we put out that fire, Mac.

I just love Bill so much.

And there's something
in him that...

...really scares me.

Come on, this one last time, man.

One last time.
That's all I want. Okay?

It's a rush, Mac!

- You got that right.
- Come on.

All right, let's do it.

All right!

You know, back in the 1920s, they
used to truck nitro out to the fields.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

They used to call that the suicide run,
didn't they?

- Are you scared?
- You bet.

Me too. Ain't it great?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Laura, do you really think
we still got a chance?

Bill and MacGyver together?

They can work miracles.

We gotta get this hose laid out
before they get back.

- I'll unwrap it.
- Okay.

Give me the connection.

All right, take it.

You ever drop one of these?

Not recently. You?

Well, in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
a guy once bet me

that I couldn't balance a stick of
burning dynamite on my forehead.

Well, what happened?

Blew my head off.

MacGyver? You know what I said
about blowing my head off?

- Yeah.
- Joke, man.

- Dumb joke.
- Be right back.

Hold, darling.

Hold, baby, hold.

Okay- --...

You better hurry.

- Hand me--
- Oh, my...

Hand me your case.

- Got it?
- Yeah.

That's definitely not gonna work.

- Bill?
- What?

- Take this case.
- Give me one good reason why.

Laura. Get out of here.

Take it.

- Okay.
- Gently, will you.

Tell that to be gentle.

Huff)'-

Huff)'-

You are crazy.

I mean, certifiable!

Yeah?

What does that make you?

Well, let's get this fire food
on the road.

All right, the first thing we've gotta do
is build a little cradle for that nitro.

Hey, these wagon springs
ought to give that stuff a safe ride.

And some nice, absorbent sand
in case anything drips out.

Hey, I'm with you, Mac.

I want those blasting sticks to feel
real comfortable on the ride back.

Listen, Bill,

you know any other way home
besides that washboard road we took?

You don't want it to be too easy,
do you?

- Well, the nitro looks cosy.
- Oh, terrific!

Just 54 bumpy miles to go.

Watch that back wheel, Mac!

Here comes the ditch.

Could you widen out a little, please?

Thank you. You're fine, fine.

It's okay.

I'm sure we'll know when it's not.

Oh, boy, you're a real comfort.

Okay, Pete, crank it
about a quarter of the way open.

Okay-

You must know a lot about hellfighting,
working with Bill, huh?

Too much.

Do you use the water
to wet down the fire?

No, the firefighters.

Most importantly, the explosives.

You go in carrying
an explosive charge.

It has to keep being hosed down
so it doesn't just blow from the fire.

Okay, Pete, cut it.

You rig the charge so that they
can go right into the gut of the fire.

And when it explodes,
it eats up all the oxygen and...

...blows out the fire
like a birthday candle.

- Simple, huh?
- Yeah.

When it works.

You know, Laura's real shook up
over what happened in that last fire.

It ain't my happiest memory either.

Hey, watch that bump!

So, what happened in that fire?

Oh, come on, that's a long story.

I'll tell it to you sometime.

That's what it's like going over little
rocks, stay clear of the boulders.

Well, how do you feel
about crossing streams?

Just dip in one toe at a time.

See? No problem.

What was it you were saying?

Well, must be one of those days.

Your linkage spring is busted.

Got a ballpoint pen?

There's one in the
glove compartment.

Should I bother to ask why?

Thank you.

You always got an answer.

Doesn't always work.

Your batting average is pretty good.

Just get us back.

Why? Thought you were having fun.

Well, yeah,
but there's oil under that rig,

- and I think I can handle being rich.
- Yeah?

Yeah. Mansions, yachts,
maybe even a new truck.

Try it, will you.

All right, try it again, Bill.

Yeah.

Hey, nice going!

Voila!

You can forget about that new truck.

I'll take a dozen of those
ballpoint pens.

I got a good feeling, Mac.
We're gonna beat that fire.

We're gonna win, partner.

The eternal optimist.

That's why I like you.

Yeah.

Boy, I can hardly wait to see
Laura's big smile

when we come bouncing in there.

Don't say "bouncing."

Fasten your seatbelt, Mac.

The hills are coming.

Everything still looks secure.

Hey! Home stretch!

- Pete!
- Yeah!

- They made it!
- All right!

Hey! Did you feel that?

We could be in a little trouble here.

MaCGyver!

Brakes are gone.

Hang on!

- Pete?
- They're going awfully fast.

- Oh, God.
- Oh, no!

God!

Piece of cake.

Yeah.

Let's not drop it,

or we might not be around
to pick up the pieces.

Set it down easy.

All right, Billy boy.

You tell me,
how do we put that thing out?

Well, last time
I used a heatproof vehicle,

sort of a tank,
with an extensor arm on it.

It was computer-controlled,

with a directional mechanism
for fine-tuning.

This time, I think it's gonna be
more like the old days.

Prayers and guts.

Wait a minute, here.

He's thinking.

I can hear the gears grinding away.

How close am I gonna have to get
to that thing?

Near enough to drop a charge
down to the well casing.

But the closer you get, the temperature
goes up exponentially.

Eight, maybe ten degrees
a foot squared.

So you gotta go in far as you can,

extending the charge
on the end of the pole.

Looks like I'm gonna need
a longer pole,

or I'm gonna fry.

Yeah, looks that way.

Well, I guess I'm gonna have to
entertain a couple of theories

a few of my buddies came up
with a while ago.

Archimedes and Euclid?
You may have heard of them.

But we're definitely
gonna need some stuff.

Yeah, we're gonna need a heat shield,
like this old refrigerator.

We got that.

We got our transportation...

...and the track for it.

And we got our dynamite!

There you are.

You know, I think that could work!

Where do we start?

Well, the way you start any railroad.

You lay track.

- You ready?
- Ready.

Move it.

Laura, fill this thermos
with all the liquid nitro

you can squeeze out of those sticks.

And need I say, be careful.

How's it going?

That's great.

Wait a minute.

Bill!

MacGyver, soup's on.

Keep it moving, honey.
Get it down in that sand.

Okay-

- Careful, now.
- Yeah.

Hey. Bill!

Come on, we need some
help here, bud.

No.

You can't handle it by yourself.

- Not in there.
- Bill.

- I think that's my choice, son.
- No!

And you know why!

That wasn't your fault.

My God, three months in a burn ward.

I think that's enough punishment,
don't you?

For three lives.

The guys on my crew,
man, they bought it!

They all bought it.

They're dead, Mac.

And if you go in there by yourself,
you're gonna die too.

So no.

This one's mine.

You made me a promise.

To let a good friend
kill himself, Laura?

I think I said that was my choice.

All right?

No, Bill! Stop it!

What's the matter with you? Please!

Stop it, you two.

Stop!

MaCGyver!

Please!

Stop it! Have you both gone crazy?

Stop!

What's the matter with you?

Stop, I said!

Stop it! Stop it!

I said, stop it!

Stop!

Get off him! Bill's right.

You can't do it alone, MacGyver.

And don't say another word, Farren!

Okay-

- Honey...
- Look, you're going in.

This one last time.

The two of you together.
That's the way you got this far.

- Laura, you know--
- Look!

You'll fry your tail
in there without Bill.

Damn it, he's the best!

So are you.

You heard the lady.

Yeah.

Baby, I want you to keep that water
going while we head into the fire.

Come on!

Good luck.

Keep it up, honey.

MacGyver, this is as close
as we can get.

Water!

Careful!

That was close.

Very close.

Better check the hitch release. It has
to open easy so the charge will drop.

Okay, it works fine.

Now let's get it to the shaft.

It's too hot in here.

Turn it all the way up, Pete!
Turn it up!

Keep it coming, Laura.

That's the right amount of tension,
MacGyver.

Oh, it's stuck. I gotta go out!

Right here, Laura.

Slide it forward, Mac.

You got it! Now, get back in here
or you'll be fried!

Laura!

Mac, come on!

Let's keep that canister
moving forward.

It's just about over the shaft.

Turn it up, Pete.

Turn it up, Pete. Come on. Yeah!

All right, get ready to move!

- Are you ready?
- Yeah! Let's go!

Go! Go, go, go!

All right.

- For sure.
- Yeah.

For damn sure.

So, what's next?

Well, we know there's oil there.

We just need to build up
a new derrick...

Start drilling that hole as soon
as I can work again.

- You'll heal.
- I know it, buddy.

Think you ought to do that
a little sooner.

Like maybe get someone to help you.

Hire somebody.

Out here?

Where in the world
are we gonna find...

I've been wanting to take
a nice, long vacation,

a little rest and relaxation.

Spend some time with friends,
party down.

I'll help you bring in the well.

- Then you're hired.
- All right.

- I like that.
- You're the best!

You're right.

Ready, break!
