There are some places in this world that are a lot easier to get into than out

of.

Like East Berlin, for instance.

I mean, look at me.

I'm dying to leave.

So far so good, but the next parts where it could get a little tough

My grief-tricken mourners

here to lend a helping hand

Getting a little warm in here.

Get out with that thing now. Yes, be careful.

Get out with that thing. Close your eyes.

Come on, get out of here.

Come on.

Now you can come.

Könnt ihr uns bitte helfen?

Dankeschön.

Hier Kontrollsteuer Ost.

Jawohl.

Jawohl, jawohl.

Watch out!

Watch out!

I guess this makes me about the first guy who ever attended his own funeral

lived to tell about.

We have reviewed your proposal.

Yes, sir.

It is correct in every detail.

We have had assurances like this from you in the past, Claire.

Particularly very concerned MacGyver.

MacGyver is the only blemish on my records, gentlemen.

I have never failed you in anything except... We know that dreary story,

Claire. He made a fool of you.

Of us.

He was lucky.

Extremely lucky.

And I admit I underestimated him.

But this time I'm ready for him.

I can guarantee you success.

You guarantee?

To neutralize the information he took from us in East Berlin?

Absolutely.

Promise. Always promise.

They must have results.

You must prevent that information from reaching American intelligence.

Consider it done.

And suppose you fail again?

I won't.

I see you remember what happened to you.

After your last failure.

Yes, sir.

I remember.

Then let that memory be an inspiration, Quayle. Let it guide you in your

efforts. What he means, Quayle, is that it's your chance for redemption.

Definitely your last.

I understand, Mr. Hankerson.

Good.

It is the decision of the tribunal to authorize your operation.

David! On your personal guarantee.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

You won't regret it.

I appreciate the opportunity to redeem myself in your eyes.

To re-establish my value in the cause. Better get started, Craig.

Our thought has betrayed MacGyver halfway around the world.

He's about to return home.

I'll be waiting.

You look terrific.

Boy, is it good to see you.

What a sight.

Especially with the three heavies that are setting you up for a hit.

Peter Thornton sent me.

How's the general?

Generally good, except Thornton is a colonel. And he asked me to remind you

that he owes you a camel.

And you came all the way down here just to tell me that?

Uh-huh.

Oh, sweet Lulabelle.

I love this girl. I love her. She's great.

I love her.

You love her, too.

Let's go, Lulabelle. Name's Karen Blake.

Looks more like a Lulabelle to me. So how's Peter?

Waiting for you, so hold on, lover.

Aren't we going to Pete's office?

No, he set up a special safe house.

You been with the company long?

Why? Well, I thought I knew all the pretty girls in the office.

Business must be good, since when do safe houses look like this?

I was just told to bring you here for a high-level debriefing.

High level lives in high places.

I've just got one question.

Hey, I'm only a courier.

I'm only hungry.

Good to see you again, MacDiver.

Wayne?

We saw something.

Hey!

Right. Good to see you.

And I thought all secret agents were cold and heartless.

No, Pete and I go way back to some pretty funny places.

Is that what the camel was about?

Well, the first time I met this fella, he pulled me out of the quicksand in the

Wadi Nafud, deep desert.

Then he put me on a camel, and he gave it this gigantic swat.

What happened?

Oh, we just... Throw it on out.

Yeah, for six days. I couldn't sit easy for a week.

Anyway, it's good to see you. And congratulations. You had some problems

getting out of East Berlin.

Yeah, I had some real unfriendlies waiting for me. I sort of had to cut and

run for the border.

Turned a coffin into a jet ski.

Yeah, that part was fun.

I had a real good time.

Me and Junior here. That is very important.

So thanks.

You're welcome.

And congratulations yourself, I heard.

Deputy chief of the department. Big deal.

You can call me sir.

Yeah, I noticed.

This place?

Yeah, it's been out of use for quite a while. Off the list and unofficial,

which is exactly what we need.

I think we have a very large hole in departmental security.

What leaked?

Your name and what you brought back.

Terrific. So I'm handling it personally from here on.

Here, now, and quietly.

My own office doesn't even know we're here. No one does. Perfect.

Yes, it is.

Right in here.

Cozy. Thought you'd appreciate it.

And in a way it fits. We are hunting big game.

Dangerous game.

You know, Mrs. Chung?

By reputation, it's a pleasure.

How do you do?

The best cryptanalyst alive.

Oh, Peter, stop it.

He's the politician.

I solve puzzles.

And I understand you have brought us one today.

Yes, ma'am.

Should I be here, sir?

Oh, yes. We're all staying right here until Mrs. Chung decodes the microfilm.

Thank you.

This computer is fully programmed for us, Mr. MacGyver.

Well, that's fine with me. I just came for lunch.

I have not activated it.

What in hell is this? Do you have the pizza?

Check out Treat, it's April Fool's.

Long time no see.

Make the lady comfortable, and don't worry about her, MacGyver.

She's not dead, only sedated.

He knows you. Who is he?

Used the name Quail.

Sold the British out to the Russians, double-crossed the Russians for the

Ayatollah. Ah, those dear Sundays.

I ran into him moving a plane load of stolen military computers.

What happened?

I... I stole the plane back.

Your people weren't too happy with you, huh, Quail? No, they punished me.

Because of you.

But now, this is my game.

My board.

My rules.

Security leak a little bigger than you thought?

As big as our house.

For this?

No, no, no, no. I was commissioned to destroy it.

And deal with you.

Now.

Frightened, Karen.

All in a day's work. And in your case, was great.

Pleasure, Guy-Ban.

Don't be stupid.

Do be adventurous.

Try to escape.

Try to find me. Please!

Don't touch anything, Peter.

What do you mean?

I got the whole place rigged.

To kill him?

Yeah, sooner or later. At first, the man wants to have some fun.

MacGyver, that's crazy.

So is Quail.

His gears don't mesh.

Let's see if we can get out of here. Maybe he's missed a trick or two.

I don't want to leave Mr. Chung back there very long.

The best thing we can do for her is to get to Karen's car and get some help.

No.

The door has got to be booby trapped.

Yeah.

Let's see if we can figure out how.

want to test, huh?

Yeah.

A hypnotizer.

You always did like to talk, didn't you, Quail?

Here, give me that sheet.

It's kind of a weakness of yours.

I always had to say how great you were, didn't you, Quail?

Afraid maybe people wouldn't notice.

You'll be the last one to die.

That's what I figure, too.

Old age, hope.

Well, here it is.

Why here?

You'll find lots of handy stuff in a kitchen.

Let's look around.

Still with us, big guy?

You certainly are talented, Quail.

I mean, this guy has got it.

Got us, you mean.

Like pigeons in a coop.

Like rats in a trap. I have never been nailed down so tight in my entire life.

Your appreciation is not wasted, MacGyver.

Well, take your vows, Jen.

Not every day I run into pure perfection.

Let's just say you are my perfect challenge.

I certainly have met that challenge.

He is definitely back at the top of his form. A new chess game with a new

master, MacGyver.

You got that straight.

Brilliant, Quail.

Pure brilliant.

A couple of us acknowledged.

But you're not going to give up so easily, are you?

What's that feature you're up to?

Messing about with possum pants, what about you?

Then why don't you just put away the tinker toy and play the game?

Absolutely.

Positively.

Let the games begin.

Quail was listening on a radio frequency, so I figured by using every

electronic gadget around, I could heterodyne its frequency, give the man

an earful of static.

You built an electronic jammer. Yep.

Quail's gonna get nothing but white noise.

So, we got a little privacy in here.

All right. I figure if we split up and keep moving around this house, I can

find a way to bust out while he's not looking. Keep him busy tracking the

three of us. My radio phone.

It's in the library.

In my case.

If I can get to it without Quail watching.

Nice touch.

Okay, here we go.

One at a time. Keep him guessing.

Stay low, move fast, think smart.

And if you go, take company alone.

Get out.

You know, MacGyver, when I was little, I used to play international spy.

I think we all did, didn't we?

Oh, I'd be wearing a designer gown.

I'm going to some great party at Buckingham Palace, meeting a Russian

ambassador.

And I would get him to tell me all his secrets.

Maybe that's why I went to work for the department.

Deputy Chief Peter Thornton.

Red, red. Repeat.

Red, red.

Details. But I already know the details, Peter.

Now

I

guess it's my turn to go out and distract Quail.

Hey.

It's going to be all right.

We're going to make it.

Thanks. I needed that.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

Boyle was a thorough kind of guy.

So it figured he had all the windows and doors either booby-trapped or covered by

the guns outside.

But maybe I could make myself a set of wheels that draw his fire and get me out

of this homemade prison.

I'm listening to your symphony, MacGyver.

Always a record.

When I was a kid... I used to build model planes with rubber band motors.

Then I discovered batteries.

It sure did increase the mileage.

Ah, my dear cat.

Welcome to my fortress.

It's going rather well, don't you think?

Well, Quail, I really didn't expect all this to be happening.

I mean, you said this was going to be over quickly.

Well, it will be.

But you mustn't deny me my brief moment of fun.

Fun?

I'm shaking.

Are you afraid they might find you out?

Who could suspect such a darling innocent?

But this MacGyver is very smart.

And Thornton is no dummy either. Yes, that's what makes him my, um, what shall

I call you?

My little mole.

No, that's far too unflattering.

My perfect collaborator in this delicious charade.

I'm telling you, Quayle, I'm scared.

Of them and of you.

You said that we were just going to do a simple job without hurt. I'm just

teasing. Just toying with him. But Mrs. Chong is... She's a stranger. There's

someone much closer to you that you ought to be worried about, isn't there?

I'll do what you say.

Perfect. Now, what is MacGyver doing in the kitchen?

When I left him, he was taking the motor out of a blender.

Ah, yes, with the handyman side of MacGyver.

He likes to make clever little things out of odd bits.

But I must have more details. I must know exactly what he is doing.

I'll go see. Yes, you do that, my dear.

No time to waste.

The sooner we deal with MacGyver, the sooner this will be over.

There's my perfect collaborator.

Stay in touch.

What sort of a fantasy is MacGyver indulging?

Answer me, Karen.

Are you there?

Yes, he's at the rear kitchen door, and he's built some kind of wheeled cart

with a piece of the suit of armor on top. It's the position I care about.

He'll be coming out of the back door.

I'll be waiting for him. Very good, Karen.

What are you going to do? My dear, sweet Karen, I only intend to embarrass them

painfully.

even MacGyver, especially MacGyver

Obviously, the guns are targeted to shoot at a given height, at anything

that moves.

But they can't shoot in two directions at once, so if I can get them aiming

down there...

I've gotten clear.

Not to worry. I'll get him back, Karen.

Karen! Come back!

I've got Thornton!

If you want to see Thornton alive, now is the time.

He's waiting for you in the trophy room.

I've turned my guns off so you can come back.

The game is not over.

Yet.

He's coming back to us, Karen.

But did I detect a note of concern for MacGyver?

We can't afford a major incident like a multiple VIP murder.

Look, my orders are to retrieve a piece of intelligence, not to carry out your

damned blood feud.

I give the orders, my girl.

And I'm ordering you to the trophy room.

You can get the roll of film from Thornton there.

Now get going before MacGyver gets there.

But Thornton's not going to give it to me.

He won't object.

I've given him the shock of his life.

Go on, girl.

Right.

He's not dead.

Oh, my God.

I thought...

She's

still the same.

They'll both be all right if we get them help in time.

Yeah.

MacGyver, I know you would have gotten away.

It's all right.

I changed my mind anyway.

If I get away, Quail gets away.

And I want him.

Let's go somewhere we can't be seen or heard.

Quail's got the house rigged electronic on the main power line, which is

probably in the basement.

I'll have some vinegar here.

Yeah. Now, if we can cut or control that power line, Quail goes deaf, dumb, and

blind.

He loses his edge.

MacGyver, what the hell are we doing?

Making some preparations.

MacGyver!

Thank you.

Now, you want to tell me if Quail hired you locally or were you assigned to him?

It was an assignment.

How did you know?

Well, first of all, you were a little too quick and cruel getting me out of

that hit. And the hitman didn't even try to follow.

Secondly, you took one look at Pete from across the room and assessed that he had

been electrocuted.

You're very quick, my guy.

Not quick enough to save Pete from a pretty good jolt.

We could have killed him, you know.

I was told no killing, only that we would get the film back.

Why draw the line at murder? Coyle doesn't. I didn't know that. I've never

worked with him before. I told you they assigned me.

For how much?

How much money did they give you to betray your country, huh?

Money? It's not...

I wouldn't do it for money.

Look, I've never done anything like this before.

Oh, please.

Don't tell me you're one of those political males. Thank God, my brother!

He worked for Mr. Thornton, too.

For the company.

But he wasn't on assignment in Czechoslovakia. And he got caught.

And they said they would kill him.

Unless... Unless you cooperate.

Work for them.

There's another way, Karen.

You don't have to give in to their blackmail.

But my brother, he's my only family.

Help me catch Quail.

We'll use him as a bargaining chip.

Trade Quail for your brother.

What if they won't?

Then I'll go in and get him.

Personally.

You would do that for me after everything?

Will you help me?

What do you want me to do?

Well, I think we should start by forcing Quail out of his electronic fortress.

How? By unplugging all his gadgets.

We've got to get to the power room in the basement.

Let's go.

He could be anywhere.

Or everywhere.

You thought I couldn't track you, MacGyver.

Well, we all make mistakes.

This one is, I'm afraid, fatal.

I'll try to arrange a posthumous medal.

Watch a moving bat.

Whatever it touches, it kills.

Damn! Closer and closer.

I can hit you at any time.

These are your last moments.

Don't try them.

Why, Daddy, you think?

Can't hit what you can't see.

Smokescreen. That won't save you.

Now we're invisible.

Quail can't see or hear us.

MacGyver, come on.

There really is no escape.

MacGyver, I know where Quail is.

He's down that corridor to the right. His control room is down at the end.

The door is sealed. He's got a lot of security and weapons.

All right.

Maybe it's time for him to come out and play.

I've got an idea.

Let's make an early warning system.

It'll let us know when Quail's on the way. And what makes you so sure Quail's

going to leave his control room?

The only way to get to the power room, right?

Uh-huh. Well, if we can cut off his electricity, he's bound to come looking

for us.

What are you going to do?

Invite the man to a party.

Rusted junk machinery?

I don't get it.

Line it up, Karen.

Sort of casual clutter.

What are you doing? Those wires look like spaghetti.

Well, I traced all the heavy wiring into Quail's fortress.

So? I'm going to punch his lights out. Keep stacking that junk.

Quail comes in here. You've got to walk forward. Only one way.

How's that?

Perfect. Grim road and path.

Pull that camera over too, will you?

You know, I sure could use a mirror.

Think you could find me one?

Yeah, just what I want to do is look in a mirror right now.

Okay, okay, I'll go find a mirror.

what we need. So now we've got a mirror. Yeah, sort of. Come here.

Stand right here.

Don't move.

Oh, I see. So you're making a parrot go so we can see Quail, right?

Yeah, that's right.

Without being seen.

Why?

Because he'd probably blow us away.

Where are you?

You can't escape.

I'll find you.

I'll find you.

And we've got a mirror.

And a kind of water cannon.

I don't want to lose pressure.

The problem we're going to have, though, is getting them in and standing right

there. Yeah, yeah, I get it.

Where are they?

We'll keep the lights on in here and in the corridor.

Let's help.

This must be his power.

MacGyver That one

I've been clear tight now.

Quill!

Thank God you found us.

MacGyver was setting a trap.

I thought I could trust you.

We're on the same side, McQuill.

I'm a geometric rarity, my dear.

There's only one side.

Myself.

Josh. quail and all this time I thought you were just scum.

This one's free of charge.

You took a big chance trusting me.

That's what it's all about.

All right, let's wrap him up and see how the rest are doing.

Yes,

I think we plugged the leak.

Quail.

That's right.

I'm sorry.

No. Where were we?

Oh, yes.

Loving a puzzle.

That's okay, Mrs. Chung.

I think we just took care of that.
