All language subtitles for Macgyver S01e14

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Take a look at what
our eye in the sky has to say.

- What are they calling her?
- Henry.

Two hundred miles across, and
we're headed right down his throat.

I think our passengers might object.
Not exactly vacation weather.

Make a course adjustment and see if
we can skirt Henry's west perimeter.

Bridge. Right away.
Patch him through.

It's the home office for you, captain.

Captain Howard, aboard
The Victoria to Control, over.

I'll check it out personally.
This is The Victoria.

- What is it?
- Bomb threat.

Take over the bridge.

Notify Henshaw and Neilson
to meet me

- at the weather fax compartment.
- Yes, sir.

What was that?

Get me Engineering.
Scott, give me a damage--

It sure is great
to start off a sunny day

thinking about the people
you like most.

My pal, Suzanne, for instance.

She's my landlady,
the building maintenance person,

and the only human being who's
figured out how to keep me organized.

So how do I repay her?

A 21st-century breakfast,
of course.

I wonder how she likes her eggs.

Okay, Suzanne, this is the future.
Or part of it anyway.

I think I'll hang loose here in the past.
It might be safer.

The first thing we have to do
is get the fridge open.

- There it goes.
- Okay. That's a start. What's next?

Now we put Roboter to work.

- Isn't she great?
- Let's not go straight to great.

After all, I did just meet her.

Let me guess.
You like them scrambled.

Just watch. Right to the pot.

Right to the pot, Mac?

Love that modern technology.

It needs a couple adjustments,
I guess.

I guess. Not safe
in the past here either.

Incredible timing.

Whoever you are,
I owe an incredible debt of...

- MacGyver?
- ...gratitude.

- Good, I'll take it right now.
- Peter?

- On second thought--
- Now, hold it.

Mac, I've got a job for you.

Pete, I'm on the verge
of a great discovery.

Sure, you are.

The world's just waiting to find out
about shoe polish egg foo yung.

What was that?

It's my cranky maintenance lady
being her usual self, cranky.

Mac, I need your help.

Last time you said that to me,

I ended up in Washington wearing
a pinstripe suit and a necktie.

Yeah, well, that was a show-and-tell.
This is for real. It's important.

How important?

Well, a cruise ship
in the North Pacific

with 1,100 passengers
and a bomb threat.

From some clown
calling himself Viking. How's that?

You make it kind of tough
for a guy to say no.

Team briefing at my place.

I think I'll have at least
one pleasant surprise for you.

Get here as fast
as possible, will you?

See you then.

I have this contract
with Pete Thornton's outfit

that says I take only
those jobs I wanna take.

Now, you'd think I'd say no
once in a while,

especially when Pete
wants to put me

in the middle of the ocean
to babysit a bomb.

But no.

Somehow he always seems to
come up with a convincing argument.

And then he holds out a carrot
like this special surprise.

Charlie?

Charlie Robinson?

- MacGyver?
- Is that you?

- I don't believe it.
- Charlie.

- Good to see you. How you been?
- Good, good. Real good.

- How's Shirley?
- Well, lately, Mac,

Shirley's been a little bit
under the weather.

Darn near every morning.

You're kidding.

- That's terrific. Congratulations, pop.
- Hey, thanks a lot, Mac.

You know, we've been trying
a long time, and it finally happened.

That's terrific.
What are you doing here?

Well, what is it you always say,
"Too big to talk about."

You haven't been talking to a guy
named Peter Thornton, have you?

You got called up for this one too?
This is great. This is great.

Charlie, you get back in your car
and you go back home.

This one's gonna bail
your old dad out.

You know, Uncle Sam found me
in that computer-expert file of his,

and put 25,000 on the counter.

Look, Charlie,
this isn't you and me in Nam.

And there wasn't a Shirley or
a little one on the way back then either.

Yeah, I know. I know.
And there wasn't a supply company

and a home mortgage looking
bankruptcy square in the face.

Nothing more to say.
I'm in. Come on.

You got a screw loose,
you know that?

So? What else is new?

Suspects. Fifty to start.
More to run down.

Any priority you want set up?

I recruited you to do a job
on this, Mike. It's yours.

- The best way you see getting it done.
- That's all I need to hear.

Carlysle, let's get an epic linkup with
central, east and southwest regions.

And I want a profile on these guys.
M.O.'s smoking the wires.

Doggone it, Pete. Charlie's got
no business taking this gig.

You're Peter Thornton.
Charlie Robinson.

And ignore him.

He has this irrepressible
paternal instinct toward me.

Mac, what is it?
You guys were in Nam together.

You were a bomb-diffusing team,
right?

Only the best.

Okay, coordination and control
come from here.

We've got direct communications
with The Victoria.

They've got a search going
for the bomb right now.

What's the threat assessment?

Well, there was a warning bomb
that wiped out the weather room,

and killed the captain. Come here.

There is a storm front moving in
that makes it impossible

- to put the passengers into lifeboats.
- What about sea or air rescue?

No way. There are no ships
or air rescue units close enough

to get to The Victoria
before she's into the typhoon zone.

So how do we get there,
take a bus?

No, you take a jet to Midway,

and a Huey chopper
the rest of the way to the ship.

Pete, given any consideration
to tracking down this bomber?

Oh, we're on that, with an expert.
Mike Donahue.

- No, sir, we can't figure it out.
- Donahue?

There was a Donahue that ran
the 227 bomb squad out of Da Nang.

Couple of years before our time.

Well, that's him. Medical discharge
and back in the police department.

He runs one of the best
bomb investigation units in the country.

- Mike.
- They've located the bomb.

Near The Victoria's engine room.

Disguised as an electrical cabinet,
2 feet across, 3 feet in height,

below the water line.

Threat assessment verified, eh?

You're the guys that get
to find out how it ticks?

MacGyver, Robinson.
Mike Donahue.

Heard a lot about you.

- Only the best.
- Thank you.

That's what the man said
about you guys.

The question is
how good is this Viking?

Patch from shipping headquarters
coming through. Viking's on the line.

Put it on the PA. Start a trace.

Good morning. This is Viking.

You will be interested to know
that I am aware

that Mr Thornton is listening in
from his headquarters.

In fact, I know all about
your efforts, Mr Thornton,

and the experts
you have recruited to stop me.

Donahue.

How's the leg, Donahue?
The one you lost in Vietnam?

Robinson...

"congratulations
on the upcoming baby.

And of course, your ex-partner,
the inventive Mr MacGyver.

- Hey, Pete, nice security.
- Good staffing job, Mr Thornton.

- Mac, I don't want to hear it.
- But still a waste of time.

The bomb is set to go off
at 6:30 p.m. your time,

ten and one-half hours
from now.

The way to stop the bomb is to put
together $6 million and deliver it...

The switching station at Proctor puts
the call somewhere in Westwood.

Notify all field units.

Please, don't disappoint me.

Damn.

Six-thirty. It's a five-hour flight
to Midway,

another two and a half hours
on the chopper.

That gives us about three hours to
work on the bomb once we get there.

This is Whiskey Sierra Bravo
to Midway Tower.

Requesting confirmation on a
standby chopper for bomb team.

Midway Tower. We copy,
Whiskey Sierra Bravo.

Proceed directly to helipad
for immediate liftoff.

The tools of our old trade.
Boy, these bring back a few memories.

Yeah, like the time you hocked them
for a night out in Saigon.

Only the essentials, MacGyver.
And if I remember right,

you had one of your most memorable
evenings in the French Quarter.

Oui, monsieur.

Victoria is dead ahead.

We'll have to cable you down.
Then I'm out of here.

No telling when that storm will roll in.

Let's start with your bag of bomb tools.
It'll help me line up on wind direction.

I want you to cordon this area off
and keep the passengers way back.

Yes, ma'am.

Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.
Could you clear this area, please?

Okay, boys, I've got cable control
in the cockpit. Let her go.

Bob, we got a winch malfunction.

I can't override, Mac.

Mac, we're gonna lose our tools!

Correction, Charlie.
They're already gone.

They lost their cable.
They'll never make it.

They have to.

Mac, that bomb's not waiting
for anybody.

A little more than three hours.
That's all we have left.

Where you going, Mac?

Well, we can't just sit up here
and look like a bunch of dummies.

What do you say we work out a way

to turn this cargo net
into something useful?

- You mean, like a rappelling line?
- Yeah, something like that.

Mac, you're a wonder,
a true wonder.

Just survival, Charlie.

Hand me that karabiner, will you?

Listen, you can still go back
to Midway on the chopper.

And miss a ride like this?

I think not.

Hang on to that for me,
will you, Bob?

Pick a number
between one and ten. Quick.

- Seven.
- Close, but wrong. I go first.

Hold her steady, Bob.
We wanna keep him dry.

I'll vote for that. Give me
the count when ready.

Hooking up.

He's on the rail. Stand by.

Bomb's away, Charlie.

Go, Mac!

Contact Control.

- Tell them they're on board.
- Right.

I'm Carole Tanner,
acting captain of The Victoria.

Captain, name's MacGyver.
This is Charlie Robinson.

- Captain.
- The red cargo bag. Was it important?

Well, that kind of depends
on the bomb, ma'am.

- Can we get to it?
- Engine room. Follow me.

Captain, what have you
told the passengers?

As little as possible.

How long you planning on keeping the
passengers in the dark about all this?

We're trying to steer
around a typhoon,

which prohibits any thought
of using lifeboats.

And there's a bomb on board.

What do you suggest I do,
Mr MacGyver, create panic?

Well, if it was me,
I'd be awfully curious,

especially with Charlie and me
coming on board

a couple hours
after that first bomb went off.

Well, tell me, Mr MacGyver,

would you want to know
that a very good possibility exists

that you could die a violent death
sometime during the next three hours?

Yes, ma'am, I would.

That's it.

We're convinced it was placed
during dry dock last month.

It wasn't really seen
until we started looking for it.

Looks just like it belongs here.

- Until you pull this door--
- Don't touch that!

It's okay.

Our electrical engineer saw it
was the bomb after he opened it.

We've touched nothing else.

You believe this?

This guy is no amateur.

Oh, just look at
those bomb triggers, Mac.

Mechanical, electrical, chemical.
Get through one, you got another.

And pray that we take them out
in the right sequence.

Here. The connection to Mr Thornton
in Los Angeles is ready.

Pete? Yo, Pete?

Yeah? Mac? I can hear you.
How's it look?

Well, this one looks like
it's gonna be a maze of triggers

before we get to the real thing.

Mike, are you hooked up
to the NCIC bomb file?

Right. Just call out the trigger M .O.'s,
we'll track them.

- That's a good idea, Mac.
- Well, I just hope it pays off.

Now, this first one I'm looking at
we ran across a whole bunch in Nam.

- Yeah, the Ling Chow bomber.
- Oh, boy.

Well, I know his technology.

You're looking at some kind of
chemical detonator.

Yeah, powder in a dish.

Sodium? It could be sodium?

Well, it could be, but I don't see
any source of water to set it off.

It's sitting below a heat-sensitive
thermocouple, little blue light on it.

Boy, dishful of some kind of powdered
chemical. Jeez, it could be anything.

Well, it's a start. Okay, guys, one list of
Ling Chow bomber types coming up.

Well, partner...

...who scrubs and who assists?
Pick a number.

- Captain? Ma'am?
- Oh, yes, Mr Atkins.

We found another bomb.
D deck, compartment six.

Where exactly is this D deck?

Okay, we're here,
below the water line,

and that's D deck,
compartment six.

Opposite ends of the ship. Could
be synched to go off at the same time.

And counting down
from three hours, six minutes.

Well, partner,
looks like we both scrub.

How can I help?

Just hold a steady course
and think positive thoughts.

I'll do that. As soon as
I've had a talk with the passengers.

Well, it's just you and me now.

Now hear this.

This is the captain speaking with an
important message for all passengers.

The explosion that killed
Captain Howard six hours ago

was the beginning
of a grotesque threat

made upon all of us
aboard The Victoria.

That's it.

Good luck.

- Mac, can you read me?
- Yeah. Loud and clear.

Viking must have had
a field day in dry dock.

Is your bomb built into
a phoney electrical panel like this one?

Yep. All the triggers are behind
a sealed glass cover.

I've got an exact copy
of yours up here.

There's stuff around the edge.

Looks like some kind of booby trap.

Plastic explosive, maybe?

No, I'd say it's some kind
of a silicon base.

Probably a sealer of some kind.

Well, whatever.
We've gotta get inside.

We're counting down fast.

Well, don't push it, Charlie.
We don't wanna rush things here.

I got a hunch that's exactly
what Viking wants us to do.

This is Viking.

I assume you've found
the second bomb by now

and have gathered the $6 million.
So listen closely.

You must realize that you
do not have either the time

or intelligence to stop my bombs.

Only I can stop them, provided
you do exactly what I tell you.

If my instructions
are not carried out precisely,

you will not hear from me again

and you will not learn
how to disarm the bombs.

You will put the money
in a briefcase,

and place it in locker number 324
at the downtown bus depot.

And, gentlemen, it will be both futile
and dangerous to try to locate me.

- Carlysle?
- No trace.

He knows exactly what he's doing.

MacGyver, Robinson,
we've got a dead end on the trace.

No Ling Chow suspects. I'm gonna
go ahead with the money drop.

- You hear that, Charlie?
- Yep.

But suppose Viking doesn't
live up to his end of the bargain?

Well, what do you suggest?

I'm suggesting maybe Viking
won't tell us how to turn this thing off.

So we can't sit around and wait.

- Pick a number, Mac.
- No, no, no, no.

We've played that game already.

I guess that means
it's my turn to go first then.

You just follow
in my footsteps, partner.

All right.

But, Charlie,
remember the routine in Nam.

By the numbers, slow and easy,
and we'll live forever.

By the numbers.

Cal! it out, Charlie.
What's your benchmark?

All right, take it down this way.

I'm gonna probe the gasket that runs
around the outside of the bomb casing.

The one you think is a silicon base.

I'm using a dental probe
from the ship's doctor.

It's a number three.

I'm sealing the entry
with petroleum jelly.

I'm penetrating the seal.

The chemical in that dish could be
any one of a number of things.

I just need to touch it. Get one
sample to test. Then we'll know.

If I could just reach that dish.

I'm getting there.
I'm getting there, Mac.

Hey, easy, easy, Charlie.

It's a vacuum, Mac! It's a vacuum!

- You've gotta fill--
- Charlie!

Charlie.

All right, damage control
has the area isolated and secure.

The affected compartment
is shut tight and holding.

Now, I want lifeboats ready
and a lifeboat drill scheduled.

- The passengers will be briefed then.
- Right.

Are you okay?

You know, Charlie and I busted
51 bombs together in Vietnam.

My God.

Charlie used to put a little scratch
on the wall above our bunks

every time we'd get back
from doing one.

We used to tell anyone
who would listen

that we were going for the record.

The day we shipped out,
he counted them. Fifty-one.

Then he laughed. Just laughed.

I'm sorry.

If we get out of this one,

it's because Charlie found out number
52 in the split second before he died.

- I don't understand it.
- He yelled "vacuum."

That whole bomb is in a vacuum.

The chemical is phosphorus,
triggered to explode when air hits it.

The phosphorus flashed,

tripped a thermocouple,
and that was that.

But if the bomb is built
inside a vacuum,

then there's no way you can take that
glass face off without air getting in.

Unless I fill that vacuum
with something else.

- Like?
- You got any neon signs on board?

The search party found another one.
In the auxiliary power room.

- You got two neon signs?
- This is becoming insane.

- How many more can there be?
- Well, we're sure of the two,

and there's no reason to believe
they're not in sequence,

so we're gonna have to
disarm them simultaneously.

I can't be in two places at once,
so I'm gonna need a new partner.

- Any likely candidates on board?
- Me.

- I'll do it.
- Carole-- I mean, captain.

The whole ship is your responsibility.

If those bombs go off,
there will be no ship to command.

In any case, Mr Atkins,
you are fully competent to handle her.

- Can we get started?
- Yes, ma'am.

MacGyver, any objections?

As long as you don't mind taking
orders instead of giving them, captain.

I always bow to experts.

And I think we can find a couple
of neon lights in the lounge.

I'd say we're in
pretty good hands, Mr Atkins.

Yes, sir.

So we put the ransom money
in locker 324...

...and then we pull the key.
How's our Viking man take delivery?

He's probably already made
himself a duplicate.

All right, let's go.

- Hey. How about my carrying that?
- Why?

I never lifted 6 million bucks before.
It would be a cheap thrill.

I'll carry it. You keep thinking
about it. Out here.

Oh, come on. Why?

Why? Donahue has a dozen cops
covering this place--

- Donahue's inside.
- Yeah?

I'll be inside. We need one
of our men out here as a backup.

And you're the lucky winner.

Com check.

Guess who.

Heads up inside, Donahue.
The money's coming in.

This is the last call
for Interstate service

to San Francisco, Reno
and Salt Lake City.

Boarding at gate three.

I'm going out to the car. I'll call in
and check on that M.O. follow-up.

Right.

Boy, there's less than an hour to go.
Something has to give.

Yeah. I'm just afraid
of what that something is.

All right, let's stay alert, people.

All right, captain, what we're gonna
do here is make a little fair exchange.

What do you say we replace
the vacuum with a little neon gas.

But I gotta admit, I was
a little surprised to see you

in charge of this whole ship.

No more than I, MacGyver.

Everything happened
kind of fast around here.

Just give me directions.

First step:

Take the sharpening stone
we got out of the bar

and score a little piece of the neon
right at the very end.

Here we go.

Now...

...before you break the tube,
make sure you got the cork handy

to plug it so the gas doesn't escape.

One step at a time, right?

Right. I'm almost through.

All right. Now break the tube
and plug it fast, like I just did.

Okay-

Done. I don't believe it.

Now we're gonna work the tube
through the sealer.

And when I pull the cork, hopefully
H! get a momentary suction in.

That ought to give us enough time
to get the phosphorus out of there.

You with me, captain?

Under the circumstances, MacGyver,
why don't you call me Carole?

Okay, Carole.

Nice and slow.

I'll go first.

I'm working the silicon sealer now.

The glass tube is maintaining
an airtight penetration.

Easy. Real easy.

Just about through.

This is the tricky part.

Okay, I'm in.

Now I can pop the cork
against the edge of the dish.

Cork's out. Neon gas exchange
has given me the vacuum.

It's working.

It's extracting the phosphorus
from the dish.

I have an environmental exchange
in the bomb cavity.

The dish is empty.

Removing the tube,
dumping the phosphorus.

Okay, Carole. It's your turn.

Now, work the tube through slowly.

Keep moving it forward until you
get through the silicon sealer.

I'm petrified, Mac.

Hey, come on. Who's better than us?
You can do it.

I'm about to break through
the inner seal.

Okay, Mac, I'm through.

Good. Now go to the dish
and pop the cork.

Got it. I'm in the dish.
It's sucking up the chemicals, Mac.

I think it's gonna work.
I'm gonna make it. I know I am.

Come on, come on.

Almost there.

Okay, got it.

Well, that's one small step for local
Mankind, and still a mile to go.

That thermocouple is German-made.
Boltex.

If you guys want to check it out
in the bomber file,

we'll get on to this blue cauldron
on top of the bomb.

- You've got less than an hour now.
- Yeah, tell me about it.

- You guys any closer to this Viking?
- Not an inch.

Stay with them.

Mr Thornton, this is Viking.
Despite your efforts to ensnare me

at the bus station, I have the money.

But you have dealt in bad faith,
so I have decided not to give you

the bomb-disarming instructions.

Goodbye, Mr Thornton.

That's it.

Control to field operations, come in.

Control, this is Carlysle. Go ahead.

But we haven't taken our eyes off it.

Harrison, get this place locked down.

There's a rumour the $6 million's
already gone.

I'm on it.

What is it?

Thornton says that Viking's
got the money.

The money's gone.

He went in through here.
There's a utility room

in the back of the station, you know?

So nobody saw him, huh?

No, no, no. He had this thing
set up from square one.

He had a false back, hidden panel.

It was a nice, neat job, huh?

There's a false back on the locker.
Goes into the back room.

Viking must have had the money
two minutes after we put it in there.

He is smart.

He's too damn smart.

M ac?

I got some bad news. Real bad.

Viking somehow outmanoeuvered
us with the ransom.

He got it out of the locker
in the bus station.

We had it staked out,
but we didn't get him.

He just called, gloating about it.

But worse than that...

...he says that we broke faith
by trying to trap him,

so now he's really gonna punish us.

He's got the $6 million,

but he's not gonna tell us
how to deactivate the bombs.

He's gonna let everybody
on that ship die.

So the bottom line, Mac:

It's up to you now.

Okay. Here's where we find out
just how good Viking is.

This pipework in that blue cauldron
looked like our last trigger.

Can I tell you, I haven't
got the smallest hint

- of what I'm looking at here.
- Well, you're doing just great.

And you're not alone.

All right, now.

I'm touching the right-hand connection
at the circuit boards.

Read you.

- Mac, freeze it.
- What?

The computer says
the Ling Chow bomber

used an unstable electrolyte fluid
trigger on two sabotage attempts

in Cam Ranh Bay, 1973.

- What does that mean?
- The fluid carries a current.

Now our problem is to neutralize it.

Donahue.

No, this doesn't ring any bells.

Are you sure?

You commanded the lead
sabotage control group

in Cam Ranh Bay, '71 to '73.

Well, yeah, but I didn't
ride them all personally.

This one...

All right.

Mac, hold on a second.
This could be an acid mixture.

Yeah, that's what I figured.

Breach the piping circuit,
and you release the acid.

And we'd release the acid
into this lateral wiring.

- Yeah. Probably create a short.
- I understand.

All right, Carole,
I've got an idea here.

But we're gonna need some things.
For both of us.

Name them.

Let's see. A pastry tube,
a container of liquid oven cleaner,

- and a pint of milk, please.
- Milk?

- Yeah, low-fat, if you got it.
- Mr Atkins?

- Ma'am?
- You heard Mr MacGyver.

Pastry tubes, oven cleaner,
low-fat milk. Move.

On the double. Aye, aye, captain.

MacGyver, milk?

Add a strong alkaline base
in an organic neutral,

- if it's an acid, we're in business.
- What if you're wrong?

Well, then it's back
to the old drawing board.

All right, Carole, this is the best
we have to work with.

Let's just think of it as one giant dose
of industrial-strength antacid.

First, the milk. About three-quarters
full should do it. You got that?

Yeah, I got it.

Now I'm gonna top it off
with the oven cleaner.

And you do the same.

And mix it up real good.

Okay, it's mixed. Cap's going on.

Ready on this end, Mac.

All right, time check.
Nineteen minutes and 41 seconds.

And counting.

Now I'm gonna pry
up the lead-glass stopper seal

on top of the number one cylinder,
upper right quadrant.

Right.

Okay, Carole, this is probably acid,

so just wait until I get
the stopper seals off.

There's the first one.

It's acid, all right. I can smell it.

Now, number two.

Okay, Carole, go ahead and remove
your number one stopper seal.

Mac, is anything happening
with your acid level?

It seems to be okay.

I've removed number two.
You done yet?

Just about got it.

All right, Carole, I'm putting
the first dose of neutralizer

into the acid in cylinder number one.

Cylinder two.

There's a reaction starting.

All right, all four are treated.

How you doing?

Okay-

I am now removing
the final stopper seal.

Stopper seal's off.

Good job, captain.

Now inject our
milk-and-oven-cleaner mixture

- into the acid.
- Roger.

Am doing.

I have reactions.

AH four cylinders are cloudy.

Yeah, mine too.

Now we wait,
and keep our thumbs crossed.

Bridge, this is the captain.
I want the compartment doors

dog shut on myself
and Mr MacGyver.

Have Engineering brace them.

If the bombs blow, hopefully
we'll confine the explosion.

- Ma'am.
- Mr Atkins,

- this is no time for conversation.
- Will do, captain.

What do you think, Donahue?

Seems like we might be
on the right track.

Well, I am impressed.
You just may have licked it.

Didn't your boys do a postmortem
on this acid trigger in Nam?

Well, sure we did, but there
wasn't much left after she blew.

We ended up
with a lot of guesswork.

That's too bad.
I'd sure like to know if I'm right.

Well, we'll know
in about five minutes.

Hey, Pete, don't forget, you and I
have got a little golf match

as soon as this job is over.

Yeah, right. And I'm gonna spot you
a stroke a hole, buddy.

I'm gonna check in with HQ.
Keep monitoring.

Yeah, I will.

Mac? What's up?

- We dear'?
- Yeah, we're on a separate channel.

Come on. You never played a round
of golf in your entire misspent life.

- What's up?
- Listen, I got a notion here.

Can you check out that incident
at Cam Ranh Bay in '73?

Yeah, sure I can. What is it?

Well, this is a great piece of
booby-trap rigging.

And I mean good.

But anything this fine usually
has a personal signature to it.

It's not technology, it's art.

Art? MacGyver, it's a damn bomb.

You just lack artistic taste.

Just crosscheck them for me,
will you, Pete?

Phosphorus, thermocouple,
an acid trigger.

Who ran into them in Nam?

Yeah, it could be anybody
on a decon team.

Yeah, but who was on each
of these? All of them?

You might be able to narrow it down
to a couple of names.

- Or maybe just one.
- Viking.

Okay, Mac, I'm on it.

- MacGyver?
- Yeah?

I can see a definite change
in the fluid. Is that what we want?

Absolutely. It's neutralizing.

- It's clear.
- Okay.

Okay, everybody,
last step coming up. Stand by.

I'm draining it now.

Mac, everything stopped.

Okay. We did it.

They did it.

MacGyver nailed that sucker.
Congratulations.

He sure did.

Listen, I gotta notify my people.
Stay on top of this, will you?

You got it.

- Mac?
- What is it, Pete?

We're back on the separate channel.

The computer ran your pattern.
Came up with one name.

- Want a guess?
- Try me.

Viking had to be familiar
with each of these trigger traps.

Especially the acid
in Cam Ranh Bay.

- Is that where Donahue lost his leg?
- Yeah.

If you knew, why did you bother
with the computer check?

Oh, it gave us proof.
All I had was a hunch.

Well, it nails Donahue.

- Pete, get back on the com line.
- Right.

Carole, get the panel off now.

We have to get to the bottom
of the bomb. It's reactivated.

Okay, Mac, I see what looks like
two fuses. A yellow and blue.

Yeah.

- One cuts the circuit and one fires it.
- Which?

- Donahue?
- Right here.

I'm stuck. I got less than a minute.
I need some help.

We've got all the pieces of Viking's
signature right here in the bomb.

Stop it, and we stop him. Come on.

I've never made this kind of call
without Charlie. We'd team it.

Two heads. Both experts.

Help me, Donahue. Help me,
and we'll stop this guy.

What's your head and your gut say?
Yellow or blue?

Come on, Donahue.
You've been there.

You can make a judgment call.

There are 1,100 people
aboard this ship.

Blue.

Carole, hold it. In my tracks, captain.
I go first, just in case.

Pull the blue!

Thanks a lot, Donahue.
I'm pulling the yellow.

No!

Yellow, Carole. Yank it!

Viking.

Carole? How you doing?

I think I'll live.

Me too.

Get him out of my sight.

Your chopper will be here in an hour.
Do you have to go?

- Well--
- I can recommend the cruise.

Gourmet cuisine, sports and games,
dancing every night.

It's a great place to relax
if you've been under stress.

Well...

...do I get to sit
at the captain's table?
