Now this is what going to the beach is all about.

Boy, there's some fine-looking women out there, huh?

You got those binoculars? Yeah, in the kitchen.

On the other hand, rescuing a lady general has never been my idea of beach

fun.

Let's see what we've got to work with.

Okay, this seems to be a good start.

All I need is a few seconds of distraction.

Oh, man.

Look at that.

Oh, I gotta go outside and check this out.

What? Hey, let's go. Come on. Who's in there?

I'll bet you didn't tell them a thing, huh, General? Let's get you out of here.

Handcuffs. Damn.

No, I'm not.

Good dogs Yeah,

Pac-man MacGyver, you know that lady generally lost well a founder

I really have to rethink my life.

I hardly get the Lady General back to the Pentagon when I get a code red

priority.

So, here I am on a moonlit night, staring down the throat of a brand new

Middle Eastern nuclear refining plant put on this good earth for no other

reason than to allow some crazy strongman to blow up his neighbors.

Guess what Washington asked me to do?

All right, ready to blow it. Be at the pickup zone at 0430.

Home. Enough is enough.

I will not, under any circumstances or any reason whatsoever, answer the phone.

Probably. Again.

Yes, I am definitely home.

Well? I just dropped in to congratulate you.

Thank you very much.

The department is grateful.

You're welcome.

And I'm very tired.

I'm not offering you an assignment.

I'm giving you a warning.

You're a target.

Now that I'd like spelled out.

When you put away that nuclear installation, they ID'd you.

Contract went out the next day.

They hired Axminster.

He took out Sheikh Hussein, didn't he?

right in the middle of prayers, blew him straight to Allah and killed 37 others

along the way. You ought to get out of town while we stake this place out.

Barney, I like to take care of my own messes.

MacGyver, Axminster would torch the whole block just to get you.

I can set up a safe house, full security, unless you've got someplace

you'd like to settle in for a couple of weeks.

You know, there is a kind of a...

A trip I've been toying with. Take it now.

As long as it spells one word, lost.

I guess I do owe a visit.

To who?

That's personal, Barney.

Okay, just tell me if and where.

I'll handle that, Colonel.

And you don't need to know where.

You just take care of Axminster.

Take a look at this.

What? It says this here lady was attacked by aliens and had an alien

baby.

No kid?

Yeah, in Alabama somewhere.

Big on aliens in Alabama.

No lie. Full of strange people.

That's why I'm going north.

Back and see my family for a while.

Makes sense.

I hadn't seen my grandfather since I was ten.

He was all the family I had left.

And we were strangers.

Hi, MacGyver here.

When you hear the beep, let me know what's on your mind.

I'll let you know what's on my mind, bud.

Pick up that phone and talk to me. I got no mind for machines.

The general store brought me up a note, this phone number. It says you're coming

to visit me.

And I just want to say, don't come, I'm busy.

You're probably on the way here already.

You can phone the general store again. It's area code 303-555-7702.

I'll try and run that down right away.

What a beautiful part of the world.

Has everything but people.

I gotta wonder what happened to my grandfather that made him decide to live

in such isolation.

Actually, I wonder if he'll even be here to meet me.

Hi, Harry.

How'd you know?

I never forget a grandfather.

You've grown.

Well, it's been, what, 17, 18 years, hasn't it?

I hadn't noticed.

Didn't get my message to you. I tried to head you off.

You mind that I came?

Ah, what the hell you hear?

Well, come on. I want to get home before dark.

Headlights don't work.

You haven't changed.

Haven't had to, and I don't plan to.

All

right.

All right.

Okay.

Hey, come on.

The number's a general store in a little town in Colorado.

Hooray. Harry Jackson doesn't have a phone.

But they know him, Max Smith. They know where he lives.

You trying to throw me or just scare me?

You know, I just like to talk.

Still tough as a dirty boot, aren't you?

You're damn right.

Black hot and strong, right?

Nothing wrong with your memory, but Grandma I should say you'd never drink

up coffee unless a spoon would stand up in it Grandma never did give up trying

to civilize me.

I guess maybe that was the only dumb mistake if you ever did make Maybe dying

Is that why you left us You always did get right

to the point I've changed

Not much.

You want coffee?

Yeah.

You didn't answer me.

I left.

It was time to leave.

You know, when Dad died, you were there. I mean, you were there.

I stayed around for a while.

You have the love of Mike, boy. I still have the right to my own life.

Doggone it, Harry.

I guess maybe it's how you did it.

I wake up one morning and you're gone.

I never liked goodbyes.

I took a job working construction up in Alaska.

Good job.

New country.

So I went.

Figured sending money.

Regular would be more used to you and your mother than I was.

You figured wrong.

That's a bunk.

Leave or stay, it's up to you.

How do you want this guy MacGyver?

Dead or alive?

Dead.

Good.

Now, why are you here?

I guess I just got past putting off this visit.

I haven't thought about family in years.

I don't really want to now.

Harry, were you always this hard-nosed, even when I was a kid?

I remember this.

Didn't I make this for you when I was about ten for your birthday or

something?

It worked good, too.

Best I ever had.

Cabin's the top of the ridge, X-Men.

Then spread out.

Then surround the cabin and hit them.

So, you ready for some fishing?

I've already been. What do you think we're having for breakfast?

Come on, Harry.

You're the one that used to tell me you don't fish for fish, you fish for

fishing.

Cabin's empty, Axe Mister.

Night.

Yeah, it's real nice.

Found this place about eight years ago.

I'm staying right here till I die.

Aye, you're too mean to die.

What goes around comes around.

The trucks go here, Axe Mister. They gotta be close.

You know, I think Mom and I missed you most around Thanksgiving, Christmas.

I remember you used to take me out to cut a tree. Stop writing it. Is my being

here that hard on you? Bud, subject is closed.

I got one.

I got one.

Watch that drag, bud. Watch it.

Ah, it's a beaut.

It's thinner.

Don't let loose of him.

I'm not going to let loose of him.

Get the net, Harry.

What the...

What the hell is going on? I'll tell you later. Come on.

Who are your friends?

Harry, I didn't think they'd find me here. I'll probably be down here in a

minute.

Let's go.

Hello, Reeds?

Yeah, we'll make them think we're still out there in the water.

They're too smart for that one, boy.

You got to try something.

Well, they do fall for this ton of years, bud.

What do we get out of it?

Fly a little distance.

Well, it depends on them believing it's us breathing under these reeds.

Have a little faith, Harry.

They tricked us.

What are you talking about?

MacGyver set us up.

Let's go tell Axeman.

Get your friends from those reeds over on the other side of the lake.

See?

Grandson's got something on the ball.

Hold it, Harry.

It's a plant from the Urtica family.

Strong stuff. One dab and the bloodstream hits the neural system and a

guy's out for hours.

Blowgun?

I was thinking along those lines.

Huh.

Only

problem

we got here, E.

In order for me to knock him out, I'm going to have to hit him just right.

Right in the neck.

What if you miss?

Got a blowgun.

Maybe help make kind of a trail for the trackers.

Hold it.

Their trail leads down to the stream.

Nice. Got to hit him just right.

Harry, can we get out this way? We don't seem to have a lot of choice. Nope.

Hold it right there, bud. Will you stop?

Now, wait a minute.

I said hold it right there.

Who are you, bud?

Now, what the devil's all this about?

I ain't moving till I get an answer.

I'm sorry, Harry. I shouldn't have come.

I underestimated some things.

Just answer the question.

It had to do with freedom and peace, Harry.

And some people who don't like either.

I sure hope it's worth losing that damn trout.

They're still alive, Axminster.

Can we pick them up? Forget them.

Move it.

Got a job to do.

Is there a ranger station around?

How about a fire lookout, a ranch, anything?

Ah, there's ever more.

A little old nothing town, half dead. Well, now they got a bone line.

How far is it?

Oh, down to 12 miles.

It's up in the high desert.

All right, let's move.

Go that way. We'll swing around the hill and meet you. Right.

Haven't done this much running since two winters ago, and Grizzly was chasing me.

Did he catch you?

Nah, I'm tired of trying to catch an old buzzard.

Hey, what are you doing now?

Stop to collect rocks?

Maybe up that way.

Okay, we'll flush them out.

See anything?

Oh, I see a lot of things.

Anything I'd be interested in?

Yeah. Two jeeps splitting up.

Only one's heading our way, but he's going to be well getting here, so I

figure we got a little time.

To do what?

Harry, don't you remember teaching me all about decoys?

Why don't you fill that up with branches?

Oh, yeah. Make it look like a man.

Now, let's see if I can get the tree to do a few tricks.

No sign of him coming this way.

Should I keep going?

We should figure out MacGyver.

Then make a decision.

Alpha calling Baker. Do you read?

This is X Finster. Are targets in sight?

No, sir. No problem. It's just a little cat and mouse. Keep moving.

You got your orders.

Over and out.

Okay?

Head up the high ground.

Yeah, it's a nice day for hunting.

Remember you used to tell me about how the Indians fought this way?

Bud, out of that stuff I used to tell you, there's stories.

Yeah, well, a lot of it works, Harry.

Thought we'd at least get a free ride out of this. Guess we keep on running.

That's X-Minster. Let's get going.

X-Minster, the other jeep. Down in the gully.

Two more down.

Let's finish this MacGyver now.

You getting lightheaded, bud?

Pine cones?

Sure, Harry.

Don't you remember ever throwing one in a fire? What happened?

Kind of explodes.

Yeah, that's right.

I had a little pine pitch and got to make them to a landmine.

Hey, mother needs her grand.

You just trying to stay above them or you got some kind of an idea?

A little above.

Now I can manage.

Hold it, Harry.

I figure the jeep will come from there and right through here.

Well, what in the... Time to bury the landmine.

Say something?

Nope. I hear something.

Ought to get a move on.

Ah, there's plenty of time.

You sure that'll work?

Nope.

But you are a comfort.

Here they come.

Come on. Let's go.

When I was a kid, I used to chew pine pitch like it was gum.

It tasted all right, but it burned a lot better.

All right.

Get him.

Come on, Harry. Let's get moving.

Can anybody still move?

Yeah. Good enough to find MacGyver. Looks like we're walking now, too.

Not walk. Run.

We'll run him right into the ground.

That's okay.

I'm just dinged.

Yeah, so I noticed.

Just grazed you, Harry.

Could have been worse, you know.

Hurts like worse.

Put that inside.

Pressure on it.

You all right?

So, this is Evermore.

Harry, when was the last time you were here?

Too long ago.

It's dead.

I guess we are, too.

Harry, Harry, Harry!

So there we were in a ghost town, Harry and me.

I tried to make him as comfortable as possible.

What are you trying, bud?

Fool's gold.

Which contains pyrite, iron sulfide.

Mixing it up with a little clay here kind of makes a natural antibiotic.

Let's see what you got here.

Just what is it that you do, bud?

A little of this, a little of that.

There you go. Well, that... That sure explains it.

You're gonna be okay, Harry.

Ever think of hanging on a shingle as a medicine man?

I've got something to say.

I've avoided you.

I didn't want to be reminded, so I just kept moving.

Seeing you.

I missed you, bud.

Sure was a sorry sight.

Hey.

Don't you ever badmouth my grandpa, you hear?

Look, I'm going to try and find some things for us to fight with. What do you

say?

You really think they're going to find us here?

They're professionals, Harry.

They'll find us.

Harry had a good night's rest, but I didn't sleep at all.

I knew that with first light, Axminster would be tracking us again.

So, I had to build the best defense I could before they got to us.

Hey, Bud!

Mind telling me what you're doing?

Yeah, found some grain dust.

Treat it right, we got the makings of a pretty good bomb.

I'll bet you.

I'd work good.

Got a little parlor trick to get them to come up close to where the explosion

happens.

Sometimes you hear about floating grain dust exploding inside a silo.

It's called spontaneous combustion.

I'm going to do it on purpose.

And I found a real handy partner in Harry.

He seemed to be talking just the way I was.

Or maybe I'd been thinking like him all along.

Only get one shot with your exploding gadget, bud.

What you got in mind, Harry?

A remote-controlled distraction.

Guaranteed to get them galoots to come up real close for the big surprise.

Hey, bud!

I can play magician from over here. Now you see it, now you don't. And boom!

All right, that's enough.

It's shaking. I don't want it falling on my head.

Real tricks are going to be getting those galoots in position.

If they aren't right underneath it, it won't work.

Where are you going?

Come on, I got a trick of my own.

What do you got?

Pine nuts?

Yeah, I used to have fun with them when I was a kid.

I'd drop them to fire and watch everybody jump and they'd crack.

I had to go off like gunshots.

Well, they've been falling for your foolishness. I figured I'd try something

of my own.

I think Harry was beginning to enjoy the game.

And that's all the time we had.

Got him good.

Yeah.

Still have Axminster.

Well, this time we got the odds.

Yeah.

Try to move him over, bud.

Now, bud!

You all right, bud?

I'm more than all right, Harry.

Figuring on coming back this way?

Count on it.

I look forward to it.

Me too.

Hey, Harry.

Catch that big old trout, will you?

Count on it.

Take care of yourself, bud.
