Thank you.

When you think about it, I take on a lot of jobs nobody else would want.

The question is, why do I want them?

I find myself asking these questions more and more, and rationalizing answers

with stuff like flexible hours, nice scenery, all expense-paid vacations in

colorful Eastern European luxury resorts.

But the bottom line is, I like it. I actually like getting into stuff that

makes the old adrenaline pump.

And I get to meet some interesting people who've made some interesting

career choices themselves.

Fantastic moves, that one.

Yeah, this one, too. As soon as you deliver.

Everything is inside.

Thank you.

You've taken some risks.

So have you, my friend.

A drink?

How they say, one for the road?

No, thanks.

It's not that far, is it?

No. The border is only 12 kilometers.

I'm a Soviet officer.

We must go to the house, please, for I want a friend in the apple juice.

For in the airport.

And she is my wife.

Yes, sir.

New director?

Oh, you're going to love him.

Can hardly wait.

We're an over 90% home.

It's down this hill and a couple of kilometers to the west.

Brakes seem to be fading.

Some backup, huh?

No, no, no, no. There's got to be a way. What are you talking about? There's got

to be a way to stop this thing.

Without brakes?

I brought you something.

Special delivery.

I forgot.

There's a letter in there, too, for you.

You saw my sister?

Yeah, she's fine, Prince.

So are the kids. You can tell by the pictures here.

Well, I was just passing through East Berlin.

No, no, you don't understand.

This is Ingrid.

Well, I certainly hope so.

Ingrid, this is MacGyver, the fellow I was telling you about.

He, uh, fixes brakes.

How do you do, Mrs. Bannister?

Not well, if you intend to take him away from me again.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that, but... Well, he's under contract. I'm only part-time

here. We were barely home from our honeymoon, and they took him away for a

whole month.

Yeah, I remember.

Now he's back, I've hardly had time to say hello.

And already your new director's asking for him again?

Listen, why don't I see if I can stall him a bit?

What'd they tell you about McGyver?

Why don't you two get back to what you're doing?

Send him in. He's on his way, sir.

Well, I'll be dipped.

The new executive director.

Peter, congratulations.

They couldn't have made a better decision.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

On the other hand, maybe condolences would be more appropriate.

I heard they were waiting for you. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, you know, I made it.

Thanks to Craig Bannister, actually. I owe you for that. Well, I sent him

because I was sweating for you.

Why? Sit down.

I didn't know this until they gave me this job, but we have lost four top

agents in the past seven weeks.

Four. Somebody out there knows exactly what we're going to do before we do it.

So... No.

What? No.

Mac, you'll be working with Bannister.

I don't care. The answer's still no.

I just found myself a great new house down on the beach, and I'm in the middle

of moving in.

Mac, nobody knows better than I do that you have really earned some serious R&R,

but... Boy, am I glad you said that. Pete, you're going to be the best darn

director this place ever had.

And as soon as I'm settled in...

I'm going to have a barbecue, in your honor.

Mac, this is... important.

Mac, you've got to hear me out.

Will you just, for one single second, stop and listen to what I'm saying?

Pete, got any use for an old truss?

Nice. Listen, I thought we could rely on each other. I thought we were friends.

Our friends, Pete.

We're friends shall be evermore after my vacation. Let me spell it out to you. V

-A-C-A-T-I-O-N.

Yeah, but you're not on vacation, are you? You're working. Look at you. You're

working your tail off.

Getting ready to move to some crummy seaside shack.

Pete,

you have no taste.

None. Mac, for the love of heaven, give me a break, will you? This is serious.

Look, I've come up with a plan.

It's a little risky, but I think that we can set a trap and catch this mole.

Good traps have good bait.

Well, we've got good bait. A Russian defector who worked in the GRU and can

ID most of the key Russian agents by sight.

Well, there you go, Pete. You don't need me.

Yeah, well, a defector is still a defector. What if ours turns out to be a

double agent? A plant.

Mac, I need someone I can trust to stay on top of it.

You have got a whole file full of people on salary who can do that. Yes, and any

one of them could turn out to be the mole.

Mac, I need someone that I know is clean.

Look, you're talking to a brand new and very nervous director of operations.

We've lost four very good agents. And a key piece of our national security is

starting to look like Swiss damn cheese.

Now, come on. Mr. Thornton.

You're wasting your time and mine.

And I have no interest to work with someone who has to be back to do his

duty.

Victoria, I told you to wait. I know what you told me. And I'm tired of

waiting in the car.

This is your defector?

Right.

Victoria Tomanova, meet MacGyver.

Mr. Thornton.

You absolutely cannot do this. You're turning this woman into a human target.

Mac, I don't have a choice.

I think that is my choice, Mr. MacGyver, and I have made it.

My mother still would be in Soviet Kolak if it hadn't been for men like Mr.

Thornton.

I owe a debt, Mr. MacGyver, and I intend to pay.

Pete.

Excuse me, wait.

Now, I've done things for you.

And I'm more than willing to do more.

But risking this woman's life is not one of them.

This is useless to talk to this Balwan. Let us go.

Okay.

All right.

But, uh... Mac, could you do me one small favor, then?

There's a reception tomorrow. I know you don't like parties, but this one is

major. It's an international peace through science symposium.

There's going to be a huge Soviet delegation there now.

Headquarters wants everyone from our side to be present.

Could you just do that for me?

It's important.

I'll give it some thought.

You will?

Okay.

John Wayne would not have been afraid.

Bolton?

Welcome to the Peace Fruit Science Symposium.

I do hope you enjoy yourself this evening.

May I offer you some champagne?

Thank you. You're quite welcome, sir.

Good evening.

Good evening, Robert.

Be right with you.

Champagne, sir?

Don't mind if I do.

Good clarity.

Nice leg.

Good bouquet.

With a nice fish.

You're losing weight, Robert.

What is it?

Thanks.

Oh, stop it. Don't say a word. Leave it.

Will either of you please tell me what is so amazing? I mean, this man's idea

of black tie is a dirty shoelace. Definitely not in formality.

Then the answer is simple. A woman.

No, the answer is...

Pete put the arm on me. I must have taken a whole lot of drugs and torture.

Will you stop this?

Ignore him, McIvern. You're beautiful.

Thank you.

I need it.

So where is the boy, anyway?

Well, he said he was going to be a little late.

Yeah.

He may be late, but he sure knows how to make an entrance.

Well, well, well.

Why is everyone looking at me?

Well, maybe because you're beautiful.

You're so gallant and nice.

Who is she?

Oh, society, old money, that sort of thing, you know.

I don't know how Pete finds him.

All righty.

Then let's circulate.

Mike. Barry. How you boys doing? What's this? Not word one.

It's rented.

The company guys are all alike.

Thanks for coming.

Oh, yes.

Ultra high-pitched sound. It's used for cleaning jewels and coins. Or the family

silver. Does everything in America have to do with money?

Well, actually, it's also being developed for use in mining and

excavation without pollution or lung damage.

I'm sorry.

No, it's a fair question.

Did you finish packing, Mr. MacGyver?

Actually, it defeated me completely.

You must learn not to be defeated so easily, Mr. MacGyver.

And now, if you'll excuse us.

Who is it?

His name is Anton Vissarionovich Lem.

GRU. Special Operations.

Which means?

He kills people.

Lem, huh?

You're his part of a delegation to a peace symposium. Wonderful.

Maybe we should get you out of here. What do you say?

Please keep your hands from me.

Pete, you want to help me on this? I think he's right if you don't mind,

Victoria. I'm in no danger.

He doesn't know me.

I only know him from his file.

I was in records.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?

Thank you.

My dear friends, I welcome you this evening and...

May God bless you. On behalf of the Committee for Peace and Progress through

Technology.

Progress, but not perfection.

A more serious note here.

In the hope that faith and science can unite

for peace.

Let us.

take a moment to bless this dream.

This dream that

must unite

this divided planet and remember

we

are the animal that dreams. A dream which we all

share, which we must protect and defend.

Jeff. What is it? Drugs? I don't know. Something hit him, that's for sure.

Reverend.

Everyone listen, please. We want you to clear the room, but don't leave the

building. We may have some questions.

Reverend. You just tried to kill someone.

Why?

That's it.

Someone told you to use the gun. Who?

They told me.

They?

Who's they, Reverend?

What is it? There's got to be a doctor here somewhere.

He's having a heart attack. Let's go.

I don't.

He's dead.

Hey, hey, hey.

Left inferior artery.

Rightio.

Blockage of left inferior artery as well.

Arterial embolism thereby indicated as cause of cardiac arrest.

And away he went.

You have to make jokes?

What do you expect?

Tap dance?

Who's your sensitive flower?

Pat, you've been down here too long.

Craig, there's no need for you to watch this, you know.

Oh, Mac.

I can handle it. Excuse me.

Damn civilians.

Ed, you got any idea on the nature of this thing?

Fatty tissue.

Nature blockage unknown.

Complex mass of fibrous tissue. Analysis to follow.

Can I get a sample?

You might get it.

Why?

Well, it's not cholesterol. It's fibrous. So what is it? I'll probably be

able to tell you that tomorrow.

Unless you're in a rush.

I'm in a rush.

You're always in a rush.

You realize that this is bending the regulations just a little?

Ed, who rebuilt your sound system?

Ah, you have a point. You also have a sample. Thank you.

Any time, MacGyver.

Oh, there's some localized journal trauma, too.

So what'd you expect to find? I don't know, but I hate coincidences. What

coincidence? The man had a seizure and dropped dead. The man was a

psychologically stable, highly respected clergyman who suddenly pulls out a 9mm

and starts... Blasts away.

Six shots at someone whose identity is top secret. Our defector.

Was he political?

Reverend Mather?

As far as we can tell, the last political stand he took was against

Pontius Pilate.

We checked back till he was an altar boy. And he was an altar boy. The man

was clean. Until he started shooting and then had the world's most convenient

heart attack. Wait a minute.

How can you cause a heart attack on demand?

You remember Broodin?

Yeah. Out of Belgrade?

Yeah, that's the one.

Air bubbles injected into the arteries.

Nobody injected anything into Reverend Mather. I mean, he was up there with a

hundred people watching.

Yeah, well, that makes it harder. But six through and even, somebody killed

him. While he was trying to kill our girl, which brings us right to it.

Somebody leaked.

Somebody set her up.

How is she now?

Angry. Scared.

I'm going to put her in a safe house until we get some answers.

She did give us Anton Lem.

How was someone able to use Mather like that and then kill him?

I'm working on that, guys.

May I come in?

Please.

You haven't finished packing yet.

I thought Peter Thornton was going to tuck you away in a safe house.

He did.

But I told him that I would not be able to remember anything unless he brought

me here.

Remind me to thank him. The last time I was here, I was very rude.

I came to apologize.

No, no, no, that's not necessary.

Oh, yes, it is necessary.

You saved my life.

The Chinese say if someone saves your life, you're in debt to them forever.

Strange folk, the Chinese.

They also call their beautiful children ugly for fear the gods will punish them

for the sin of pride.

This is true.

If we were in China, I'd be obligated to call you the ugliest woman in the world.

Are you a chemist?

Chemistry, I dabble.

What is dabble?

Well, in this case, it might just prove that Reverend Mather was murdered.

I saw the heart.

Oh, I understand.

The heart didn't stop.

It was stopped.

But how? I find adipic acid in his blood and fatty tissue.

I don't understand.

Let me show you.

Adipic acid in a compound including hexamethylene diamine.

Pollution often contains a certain amount of iron particles. What I'm going

to do here is activate a magnetic field and...

Turn

the chemicals into nylon.

Good for lady stockings and clogging the arteries of a kind old man.

Of course.

He was a weapon that failed.

And he was eliminated.

Victoria, this guy, Lem... Of course.

That is what he does.

Kills.

MacGyver.

Lem, we know.

But there may be others.

Any idea who?

No. I just have a feeling.

I said before, I'm not afraid.

Wasn't that terrible a day, dear?

I've had better.

Because of that crazy man, Mather?

I don't have a lot of sympathy for a man who could have killed you.

Well, MacGyver thinks he was used, fed up, and then killed.

He had a heart attack.

Mac thinks it was induced.

No kidding, huh?

I don't know.

He's working on it.

MacGyver's a remarkable guy.

You're lucky to have him as a friend.

Yeah, I'm even luckier to have you as a wife.

Are you changing the subject?

Mm-hmm.

I thought you had a hard day.

I did.

So I need a lot of comforting, loving care.

All right, turn over.

You're the best thing that ever happened to me.

You know that? All that time I was in Europe, I kept remembering our

honeymoon.

Like a dream.

You're all I could think about.

It's not a dream, sweetheart.

Not a dream at all.

Not between us.

I love you, honey.

I know you do, Craig.

And it was such a special honeymoon, teaching you to trust me, believe me, in

everything.

And you do.

That's why I want you to tell me exactly who MacGyver suspects

of killing Reverend Mather and how.

You know, Mac,

You can't let a puzzle alone.

He told me the Tomanova woman spotted a GRU hitman at

the reception.

Who?

Name of Lem.

Anton Lem.

We have him in the files.

If we can figure out how the Reverend was taken out, tie it to

Lem.

We have some key pieces.

But I can tell you who's behind it all.

Who?

Two people.

Victoria Tomanova and MacIver.

Mac? Mm-hmm.

Behind killing?

It's true.

And Craig.

Yes.

You have to kill them.

Yes.

Yes.

Kill them both.

This is Lem. When will you be ready? Now.

Good. MacGyver just left.

When? Where is he?

He went to the science fair reception hall.

And the Telmanova woman?

She is there, too.

Excellent. So we move tomorrow?

No, tonight.

But what about Bannister?

He's never been more ready.

Good.

I'll have him dressed in 20 minutes, and I'll meet you in front of the reception

hall. And, Lem, there must be no mistakes this time.

I want them both.

It was very much like a dream, MacGyver, to think that the only... The other

night, I was here wearing that beautiful dress, feeling like a... Queen.

Yeah. I know, it sounds foolish.

But even loyal party members have their fantasies.

I think you've earned yours.

You wish me to see that film?

It's a tape, actually, of what happened here, and hopefully how it happened.

Now, just take a look at this and tell me if you recognize anybody besides Lem,

all right? All right. I welcome you this evening, and may God bless you.

On behalf of the Committee for Peace and Progress through Technology...

Whoa.

What is that?

Did you hear that sound?

I have heard it somewhere before.

All right, listen to it again and concentrate.

Oh, it's very close.

On behalf of the Committee for Peace and Progress through Technology...

I

have a head like a rock.

All right, all right, just stay cool and calm about this.

You trust me?

Yes. To do what?

I got an idea.

I just need something interesting for you to look at.

It's not bad if I can add to it.

Oh, yeah.

Perfect.

A little adjustment.

And we'll be in business.

That's the prettiest little thing.

Are you trying to hypnotize me? No, I'm not trying to hypnotize you.

I just want you to relax your mind so that half a memory can come to the

surface, all right?

Okay.

I trust you.

Good.

Almost.

Now I don't.

Craig,

you know that four of your men have been killed recently.

Damn right I know.

Now you're going to get the two people who killed them.

MacGyver and Victoria Tomanova.

Are you ready, comrade?

Craig, it's time now. They're inside, waiting for you.

This is a risk.

It is necessary.

The Tomanova woman saw me. She obviously did not remember, but at any moment she

could identify me.

All right, now I want you to relax.

I'm going to throw some words out at you, and I just want you to respond.

Don't even think, okay?

Okay.

Moscow.

Cold.

Thornton.

Cape.

America.

Freedom. Noise.

Dizzy.

Mather. Puzzle. MacGyver.

Lem.

Killer. Death.

Bannister.

Worried.

Ingrid. Wrong.

What? Somehow, the name is wrong.

What, Bannister?

No, what's made a name?

I don't know.

There's something.

All right, wait a minute here.

Picture her face, her walk, her clothes in a totally different place.

I remember the building. Where?

My office at JRU headquarters.

I saw her in uniform.

What kind?

Red Army. It was years ago, but it was her. She still seems so young.

A girl.

But she's Army Intelligence.

Army Intelligence?

Ingrid? MacGyver, she was chosen, designed to seem as a little young

American girl, innocent.

But she's not innocent.

She's, what do you say, lethal.

She's perhaps more dangerous than them, because she looks so fragile.

All right.

But she's the mole.

Not exactly, MacGyver.

Greg, you're the traitor, Mac.

You and that Soviet spy?

Between you, you've killed four good men.

He's the mole?

And doesn't know it, of course.

But actually, Mac, you have just been selected to be the mole, and you will be

executed.

Pete Thornton will be heartbroken, shattered.

He might even resign.

Making room for Craig.

All right, dear.

Ow, Craig.

Hold it, Mac.

Put the gun down.

Vicki, no.

You know it's not me.

You know it's her, Ingrid.

She ran you, man. She used you.

You're the traitor.

You and that Soviet woman.

Craig, listen to me.

Look at me.

You pulled me out of East Germany.

I covered you in Burma. We ran the pan jump together.

And we got out.

Together.

It's useless, MacGyver.

For four weeks on our honeymoon, he was programmed every day. He's ours.

For good.

You want to bet?

Take a look at what's going on here, lady.

No.

Oh, yeah.

He's still mine, MacGyver.

Vicky, get his shirt open.

Hardest damage yet.

Go ahead and get electric current through his system.

It'll break the magnetic field and unrack the clotting.

Please breathe in.

Come on, Craig.

Mac!

What are you doing?

John Wayne could not have done it better.
