Original subtitles

Thank you.

One of the problems of flying a jet is that you don't have a lot of time to

admire the scenery.

I just entered Pakistani airspace and already the Afghan border was coming up

fast.

One of our early satellites fell out of orbit and wouldn't you know it, it

landed just inside Afghanistan.

Now the satellite has a small capsule in it with a lot of classified data we

didn't want the Russians to get their hands on.

And it's funny when you remember that we brought those early satellites back to

Earth with wings on.

He's crossed the border, sir.

He's over Afghanistan.

So far, so good.

I can be pretty sure of one thing. My arrival would be causing more than just

a little activity down below.

One identified aircraft.

You are violating Afghani airspace.

Identify yourself on frequency 116.

Couple of more minutes and he's there.

Prepare to fire missiles.

Fire one.

Fire three.

Missiles heading right for him.

How long?

Think the fact I didn't reply annoyed him just a little this guy was suddenly

full of unfriendly fire I

Was thinking

it was about time to leave

It's not on another plane.

He's out, sir.

Well, scratch one obsolete jet.

I can just hear old Pete Thornton saying, why does he always have to wait

till the last possible second?

He always waits until the last possible second. He timed it perfectly, sir.

He certainly did.

Nice job, fellas.

Gave me a heart attack.

Well, we were in a time lock on this one. It was the only way to get him to

target fast.

Now, if they just believe that he went down with the plane, it should make

things a little easier for him.

You're not my father. I don't have to. Do it yourself.

No! I must go get the horse.

Now.

The Soviets will pay for any part of that plane.

If there is a pilot, they will pay even more.

You're bleeding.

No company waiting for me.

That's a good beginning.

Hiding a parachute was standard operating procedure.

But if the Russians know I'm here, it's not going to make much difference

anyway.

Dawn's coming, so the chance of being discovered increases.

On the other hand, I'm getting closer to where the satellite hit.

Found it, Lieutenant!

Some of it is still burning!

Don't touch anything!

Bring the experts from Kabul!

Lieutenant. There, on the cliff.

There's no way off that mesa except the way he went up.

He's trapped.

Let's go. He's on the mesa.

Armand's paid for the man who bring him down.

Let's go!

There it is.

Just about where they said it'd be.

It's all too easy.

Maybe for once it is really going to work out the way it was planned.

The data capsule is booby-trapped, of course.

But they told me I'd have plenty of time to disarm the mechanism.

Well, they told me I'd have plenty of time.

From the sound of things, I'm about 20 seconds away from becoming a part of the

landscape.

And there it is Pete said it'd be simple

Looks like he was right straight up the mountain

Yes, no way to get down but through us.

Oh, wonderful.

What happened to Simple?

It's hard to believe this plastic had been in space for 15 years.

I was kind of glad it was partly intact.

Lord, I hate heights.

Quickly! Quickly!

I don't think I can.

It may be Allah's will that you will die here, but I will help you.

Quickly, get on the horse.

Ow.

Hang on.

We must leave the river before they come.

My name is Ahmed.

MacGyver. Where are we going?

To my house.

Are you an American?

Yeah.

I don't think your father's going to be too happy about you bringing a stranger

home. Don't worry.

There's no one ever at my house besides my mother and me.

Why are you helping me?

Because they killed my father. The Russians?

No. A man named Colleen is a band of traitors.

No! No! I tried to shoot him, but I was struck down.

Where is he? He got away, but he was wounded.

Wounded?

You let him get away?

He cannot have gone too far.

No, don't! I beg you, don't!

Pilate will bring a fat price, my children.

Bring him to me.

I have unfinished business to attend to.

You know where to find me.

This is my house.

I'm bleeding badly.

God in

heaven,

who is this man?

Carly's men shot him, and the Soviets are looking for him.

He's an American.

We can't have him here. It's too dangerous.

But mother, they'll kill him.

If Cully finds him here, he'll kill us.

He could help.

I've seen him fly in the air like a spirit.

And then wounded, as you see. He fought one of the militia and knocked him into

the river.

I am sorry to bother you, ma'am.

Please.

Please, mother.

He can stay just for tonight.

I must go outside.

Khalil comes to warn me.

But, Mama...

Lift up. We must stop the bleeding.

Where is your mother?

It does not matter where she is. She's finished with you.

What? There's another to take your place. You're an ugly toad, and the man

with her will kill you.

Woman!

Khalil.

I'll go out to him. No, no, no, wait.

Is that cylinder filled with butane? Yes.

Let him come to it.

You are the offspring of a diseased goat.

And my mother is with another man.

I will kill them both!

Shoot him! Shoot him!

He killed my father.

He shot himself.

He's dead.

The Afghan militiamen report the American was wounded twice. In the

shoulder and in the hand.

Then where is he? Hiding, bleeding to death. We'll find him. Why is it so

important?

Because of that spy satellite.

I have a technical expert coming down from Kabul, but we still have to know

why the American is here. To contact the resistance.

You mean the bandits.

Bandits, of course. I keep forgetting.

In any case, I want every available man out on patrol tomorrow, including the

militia. We're short of personnel, sir.

Well, then use Sergeant Borsov.

His tank will not be operational for a few days anyway.

And what about Khalid? Where is he? You can use him.

I don't know, sir.

I'll send him to you as soon as he comes in.

It is done, and I'm glad.

You're a pretty big guy.

Why'd you do that?

We dragged him to his grave like a dead dog behind his horse.

This is Kali's whip.

When you are well, you will beat me with it.

Beat you? Why?

I lied to you.

I told you there was never anyone at my house besides my mother and me.

I promised my mother I would rid her of this terrible man.

But I wasn't strong enough.

So...

So you used me?

When I saw the way you could fight at the river, I knew you could defeat Kali.

Is your mother aware of all this?

She's a woman.

She doesn't know about man's business.

So where is she now?

Milking the goat.

Isn't that your job?

It's not a man's work.

The goat doesn't like me.

She won't give me milk.

I saw you fly like a bird.

But how did you make part of our stove fly?

Well, now that's a professional secret.

Can you make other things fly?

Can you teach me how to fly?

I'm a... Leave McGyver alone.

He needs rest, not questions.

But you saw what he did. I saw.

How is it?

You know, I think I'm going to live, thanks to you.

And, of course, the man of the house.

Ahmad, go set the horse free.

But he's a beautiful horse. And he has a bridle made of real silver. Worth much

money. He's Khalil's.

He must not be found. Get rid of him quickly.

Go.

Hey.

Don't forget your whip.

How long before Kalu's people come looking for me?

I don't know.

I think you do.

I think I better start getting out of here before something happens.

You can't.

There's no need. If they come, we'll hide you.

You can barely walk.

You must stay.

You must heal.

It has been infected.

It has to be cauterized.

Ouch.

You're so beautiful.

I wish I could keep you.

My mother doesn't understand.

The silver bridal.

I'll keep it. It'll come in handy.

Bite. How is it you know so much about treating bullet wounds?

Since the Russians came, all of guns know about bullet wounds.

Bite.

Mother, is he dead?

It's all right, Amanda.

It's all right, sweetie.

We have his trust, and he's healing now.

Will he stay?

I don't think so.

There's nothing for him here.

But there's the mountain, and the barn, and the house.

I'll even show him my secret place.

There's so much to do.

He'll stay.

I know he will.

We need him.

Father, when will he wake up? Soon.

He slept all night again, and this morning there was no infection.

At first you said he couldn't stay.

But yesterday you said, good morning.

Morning. What are you doing out of bed?

Well, to tell you the truth, I was starting to feel a little... Hungry?

Hungry. That's a very good sign. I'll get you some food.

I'm going to get me some water.

Excuse me.

Just one thing.

I put them on you while you were sleeping.

They belong to my husband.

Oh, this horse of Kali.

Just as mean and treacherous as he is.

Where is his silver bridle?

Lieutenant, this is Kali's horse, but Kali is nowhere to be found.

Perhaps an ambush?

The stupid pump is broken.

And so is my back.

Well, how long has it been since it's worked?

Years. It makes sounds, but no longer.

I told you it doesn't work.

It's not creating a vacuum, that's why.

Machines never work very long, and I cannot fix them.

You've got to have a little patience, like you should with the goat.

Back out the hole. You follow me. Yes, sir.

You see, wrapping the plunger with this material will make it airtight.

Make sure there are no wrinkles in this.

Packing's got to be smooth.

All right.

Let me see the end of the pulp now.

That fits.

Try it.

You got it?

Hold it down real tight.

We'll test it before you screw down the base plate.

It worked!

You see, MacGyver can do miracles.

If you stay, you can fix the house and the barn roof and teach me to fly. Oh,

you bet. Anytime.

No problem.

This dispatch is from Captain O'Shaughnessy. He's very unhappy to have

not found hide nor hair of this American.

Or of Khalil either.

What is it just I tell him?

I'm sorry, sir. We have searched the caves, the wadis, and all but a handful

of homesteads. We have found nothing except for a few concealed weapons.

And Khalil?

We lost the horse's trail on rocky ground.

Khalil? He's dead or drunk.

You know which.

You expect me to make this report to Captain Oshiransky?

Sir, there are only a handful of farmhouses left. I'm sure we will find

him in one of them. I hope you're right.

I've been in this godforsaken wilderness for two years. I hate it.

But I suspect it might be considerably better than a stockade.

You take my meaning, Sergeant. Yes, sir.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you.

It's not important.

Are you leaving tomorrow?

Yeah.

The longer I stay, the more dangerous it is for you and Ahmed.

It meant a great deal to Ahmed to have you here.

It's very difficult to say goodbye to someone.

So where's Ahmed this morning?

I sent him out to look around.

I'm sure they're still looking for you.

You're staring at me.

I just want to remember.

Do you mind?

Not at all.

Father! MacGyver!

Soviets! Soviets!

They're coming!

Get inside.

Look, I was listening.

All right, I'll take it from here. You get inside.

Get to the table.

What do you want?

In the house, woman.

You're Khalil's woman. The one who was married to the resistance leader.

The one who Khalil shot.

In the back.

Why not? He kills everything that keeps him from getting what he wants.

When did you see him last?

Yesterday. Day before.

Who remembers?

I'll get you some more.

Where is Khalid?

Answer me, woman. Where is Khalid?

Kill him.

Kill him, MacGyver.

He's the enemy.

Get out of here.

Go on.

Run.

Go on.

Why?

Because I didn't have to.

That should be reason enough for anybody.

You know the Red Army's going to be here in no time.

All we can do is go?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

We have no life here. There's only killing.

We're ready to go.

Where? Well, we got transportation, a little bit of a head start, and the

Pakistani border's real close.

Once you get where you can.

Help your mother warm.

What happened? They're married.

Hello, get in.

Quickly.

Quickest way is through that path.

Take care.

These heels are my home.

That's good enough.

If it was not for my desperate need of non-commissioned officers, I would have

you shot.

One man.

One single.

Wounded man.

And you lose your vehicle, your weapons, and the man.

You are going back out on patrol.

Yes, sir. Take the tank.

And if you find the American, you will only lose your rank and six months' pay.

But if you do not find him, I will have you court-martialed for dereliction of

duty.

Now go!

The border is just beyond this drive.

There they are on the ridge. They're heading for the border. Quickly, drive!

This looks like a good place.

Stop here.

It'll be a good field of fire.

Stop!

Get the bazooka.

Again. Another owl.

What can we do?

Just hang on.

Move right.

Everybody okay?

It's dead.

And so are we.

Maybe not.

It is impossible to fight them.

We could if we had some heavy artillery.

And this jeep will position them just right.

That's water. Yeah, help me carry it. Come on.

Making that artillery, I hope. Ahmed, get that water up here.

What are you going to use it for?

I got an idea.

Pour it in here.

I don't understand.

It was freezing last night. These rocks are already cold.

Fire extinguisher uses carbon dioxide to produce a much, much greater cold. Stand

back.

Still don't understand.

Well, water's funny stuff.

When it gets cold enough, it expands.

And there's only so much room between these rocks.

A little more water, a little more ice, and then we'll help it along.

It froze.

Yeah, the water's expanding.

All right, get back down.

They could not be far away.

Down through there and two kilometers.

Easy walk to the border.

Piece of cake.

Come on, Anna.

That's the soldier you let go.

MacGyver. Easy now.

As long as we're alive, there's still a chance.

American, if I had seen you, I might tell you.

The border is two kilometers to east.

But next time, American, next time, I drop the roof on your head.

If you had shot him like I asked, there would be another one to take his place.

And he would have killed it for sure.

Something to think about, isn't it?

Still two kilometers left.

Plenty of time for two men to say goodbye.
