There was a time when about the worst thing you could say about a man was that

he was a horse thief.

In some places, that's still true today, particularly when the horse that gets

stolen belongs to a king, and it's considered to be maybe the most

expensive horse alive.

Come on, Tom.

When it's a tribal leader who does the stealing, you've got the makings of a

small war.

And because small wars have a way of becoming big ones, it saves a lot of

trouble if the horse gets back to where it belongs.

Just when you're getting ahead, somebody always changes the odds.

We couldn't go back to your place to talk about this.

Nah, I didn't think so.

I'm with you, pal.

I hate hype.

You know, my life is like a rubber ball.

No sooner do I get the horse returned than I bounce right into another

assignment.

Intelligence agents are a very cautious bunch.

Take Nikolai Grotsky, for example, an old buddy of mine.

He's got some top-secret information, and like any good agent, he'll only hand

it over to someone he trusts.

In this case, me.

And that's his spine.

I get to visit Budapest again.

And having a big road rally in town is like a bonus.

Good opening move.

Nice, fast dip. Good carry on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being best. Give you about a

6, maybe a 7. But you look down at your hand.

That's a cardinal no-no.

You gypsy?

No. Not that I know of. Why?

Because it takes a gypsy to catch a gypsy.

You look American.

Want a guide?

Yanni is the best.

I don't think I'll be needing a guide. I've been here quite a few times before.

Thank you.

Okay, then I sell you a special gypsy blessing.

Keep you safe.

Sell? You want to sell me something? I just caught you.

For free.

Because you caught me.

That's right. Taught me a lesson. Huh?

For free.

All right.

Go in safety.

Find what you seek.

Thank you, Yana. That was very nice.

She did it again.

He has been walking around for three hours.

Grotsky is a cautious man.

Not surprising in a double agent, which is why Moscow wants pictures of whomever

he contacts.

The watch looks very valuable.

Valuable? It contains the name of a dozen key KGB agents in England.

We want the watch and Grotsky and his contacts.

You! Grotsky!

MacGyver. I didn't expect you, old friend.

Yeah, kind of a surprise to me, too.

A pleasant one, I might add. How are you doing, Nicky?

With you as my contact now, perfect.

I have the names in my watch, but not here.

The Cafe Mozart, remember?

Keep taping.

Thank you.

Is

he

alright?

He is dead.

That's

him.

Freeze. Now close up.

Now. Fast forward until... There.

Tighter.

The watch.

Uh-huh.

I want that girl.

And the man.

Both, Inspector.

Well, I will try, but it may be difficult.

Inspector Metzik, I am Russian, you are Hungarian.

But I'm sure we are comrades in socialist reality.

Please, Comrade Kosov, my government has given me instructions.

I am at your disposal.

We will run this man for the grapher, the border control, through all the

hotels, the banks, the railway, the airport authorities.

We will find him.

And have you checked the girl?

Ah, a gypsy.

Budapest has gypsies like a dog has fleas.

They have no papers, no address.

They change their name. Inspector, miss.

I...

I love good food,

excellent wine, charming women.

But if I do not retrieve Grotsky's watch, I will return to Moscow in

disgrace.

An ugly cold.

And if I am cold, you could feel the death.

Thank you. Luck to you, sir.

May your beauty increase if that were possible, ma'am.

Thank you.

Hi.

I'm in the market for a Swiss Army night.

Diana!

Don't worry about Diana. She can vanish like a shadow in the sunshine.

Now I want the watch.

Gypsies don't need a watch.

They don't tell time. John, don't mess with me.

It's worth a lot, huh?

A very good friend of mine was killed for that watch.

What do you think?

Okay, MacGyver.

I'll get your watch.

Get?

You will get me the watch?

I gave it to my brother, Bruno.

All right.

Brother Bruno.

Polly. Hey.

Let me go.

He killed your friend?

Yeah.

So what are they going to do to my family?

They confess to everything and nothing.

They tell a lie and lie about life.

The gypsies, they're trying to protect the girl.

She's family.

But the American... Mikhail, we have a name in the picture.

Well, he has the watch.

So, we'll hold them here at bottom.

We'll continue to look for the American and the girl.

I assume suitable pressure will be applied to this.

I don't like that, Comrade Major.

I will do what I must to get the watch back.

I've not said it.

I'm a realist.

24 hours.

No more.

Then my way.

You want a drink, Gypsy?

Ah,

Gypsies. They're like mongrel dogs.

It's a public service when you kill one.

Why do they hate us?

Some people are scared of anybody who runs free.

Don't worry, Yana. We'll figure a way to get him out.

Yana, you say the supply truck gets here about five?

Yeah, MacGyver.

But they search you before it goes out.

It'd be stupid not to.

MacGyver, this doesn't make any sense to me.

Think of it as a light bulb sandwich.

and hope they swallow it.

Truck should be here any minute.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Excuse me guys.

My mom had a chili recipe that would just about blow your socks off.

Shake of this, pinch of that, and just let it cook.

I changed the ingredients a little.

Salt, sugar, weed killer.

I wouldn't want to eat it, but the end result should be dynamite.

Yano thought you might want to get out of here.

The Americans?

In the street corner?

Name's MacGyver.

Oh, the Americans is leaving.

Well, I've got some plans.

You guys just hang tough, all right?

Okay, guys, get crazy.

Back to work!

Back!

Chili should nearly be cooked.

Time to wrap this thing up.

It's a stick, man!

Okay, you guys, settle down.

Now, where's my watch?

I sold it.

You sold it?

Yana's brother sold the watch to another gypsy, a fence named Rina.

Trendy little joint she's got here.

I see the beautiful people just stopped in to have a quick cocktail before the

ballet.

Evening, gents.

Looking for a...

Or Rena.

Rena.

That's a nice name.

What is yours?

MacGyver.

What do you want, MacGyver?

Well, now that's kind of personal.

And important, too.

Then we are truly interested.

Where do you come from and why?

What exactly is your business with Rena?

Well, now you seem to be asking more questions than I'm willing to answer at

the moment. Come on.

Boy,

boy.

Let's talk.

See, I'm just kind of a peace-loving guy like the rest of you.

I like a good time.

Let's not be ridiculous.

Now that I have your undivided attention.

MacGyver, I am Rena.

Why don't we talk?

Okay.

You know, I really don't drink too much.

Virtuous?

Artificial.

Habit. No matter.

To your health, MacGyver.

It would be a considerable risk if I sent you back downstairs.

Yeah, is there a back way out of here?

Of course.

Several. But you have to earn them.

Which brings us to business.

You're American. What are you selling, blue jeans?

Buying watches.

Uh-huh.

Digital or spring-wound?

Old-fashioned.

It's a family heirloom.

Yeah, I know. I know the family that sold it to you.

Don't think in gypsy warfare.

If their hides were worth the trouble, I'd have them gutted, skinned, and used

as rugs.

I thought you were a gypsy, too.

I am.

Takes one to know one.

And how do you know them, MacGyver?

Oh, call it luck.

I know exactly what you mean.

Now, tell me why this is worth so much to you.

You're okay, Rina.

I think I'm going to have to be honest with you. Never say that to a gypsy. It

makes us nervous.

Okay.

The watch carries information.

I want it, your police want it, the Russians want it bad enough to kill for

it.

the truth that you're a lie detector gypsy magic unlike most gypsy

magic a cheat but nice you said information you mean political what

kind let me show you

of their people. Who spy on some of your people?

Yeah, something like that.

What are you offering, MacGyver?

Well, Rena, I don't have a lot of cash on me.

Could you take plastic?

I don't deal in credit.

You can't afford to buy it, MacGyver.

So it's a gift.

Taxi!

Come on!

Hurry up! The police are right behind us!

Got it.

MacGyver, though you owe us for helping you, right?

Yana.

It's only that we like you, MacGyver.

We want to go with you.

Where?

America. America.

Right, right.

The U.S. of A.

Clint Eastwood.

Coca-Cola.

Yana.

Girls just want to have fun.

Can you get mechanics overall for the whole family?

We'd like a shoot.

Why? Because we're going to have to get across the border fast.

That rally at Hoot Park's got all kinds of racing cars, and I figure we're going

to have to borrow a few. You know what I mean?

Think I'm not going to be unhappy about a taxi.

Okay, we'll be in America.

All right, you all know what to do.

Let's go.

A credit card can usually get you out of a jam.

I'm hoping this will create one.

so what did he say they found that taxi in wood park and make the assumption

you may save yourself those cold winters in moscow comrade

Let's do it.

What is wrong with the traffic signals?

That will do no good.

Right behind them.

have to go where they can't.

Why are all the lights against us?

Inspector, can't you go any faster?

Connect with two underground garages.

Not exactly.

Get some duct tape out of my pocket.

Okay. We are closing in. Now take the police radio and tape it to your

transistor. They've

already

crossed half the city.

They are heading for St. Ivan's.

Inspector Matic here. All units.

All units, heal up the Church of St. Ivan.

Is this okay, my diver?

Not bad.

If we can get that up on something tall, we can blow out the police radio for a

mile.

Is that your tall building?

Best I could do.

It's terrific.

message here.

Message here.

Hope your cousin got to the gate in time.

We've got to forward the Major in.

Thank you, Comrade Major.

How can we? Ah, come on. There's nothing to it.

It'll take a couple of days to get you processed, but you're on your way.

Woo! We're free!

You're leaving us now.

Yeah, honey, I have to.

But you need it. Now, come on. You earned it.

Yana, you don't have to do that.
