It's me, Terry.

Lila?

Who did this?

Who did this?

I should have listened to you.

Oh, no, no. He's crazy.

No, no.

I'm going to get on the horn.

Mac, come in.

I am in. Did you get anything on that watchmaker?

He's still in custody and he's still not talking.

Kind of an interesting looking clock shop.

specializing in timing devices for explosions.

You know, I think I'm going to enjoy playing Watchmaker.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, what?

Timing devices.

That's what Pietro's coming to buy.

Nice.

In a nasty kind of way.

Well, nasty is Pietro's style.

Fourteen assassinations in eight different countries. Each time a

different face, name, ID.

Guy sounds kind of nervous.

Yeah, he sounds. I am.

Mac, we know the man is coming to pick up an assassin's tool for a major hit.

Be careful.

Yes, Mother.

Mr. Thornton?

Yeah.

As far as we know, Piedra doesn't have a family.

Do you know what I want?

Just a pen?

Hi. What can I do for you?

I'd like to see some watches, please.

You've come to the right place.

Honey, you know what kind of escort business I run. And do you want to be

sent out on a date?

I thought you wanted to get your sister Lila out of the business.

Well, maybe I've grown up.

Lila told me about the way you run your business.

So I'm willing to pay a little entrance fee to meet the last gentleman you

arranged for my sister.

That's confidential.

He must have been something special. Yes.

Well, his name was Smith.

I never saw him.

Strictly phone contact.

B.W.

Smith.

30 to 50 plus death.

Oh, 40 even.

Running a special.

Hey, thanks.

Nothing.

And nothing.

There you go.

Hey, thanks a lot.

Okay, Tiger.

How come the kid left by himself?

Yeah.

Why would he do that?

You're not his father.

No.

I'm the man who's looking for a timer.

Think I can help you?

There's some special problems.

I was told you were coming.

And problems are my specialty.

That's funny.

Mine too.

It has to weigh less than three ounces, be accurate to five hundredths of a

second, and pass a metal detector.

What are these ought to do? Is this for explosives or incendiary?

It's tear drug.

Well, it'll make no difference.

These two.

I'll wait out front.

Fine. Make a little adjustment.

Give up?

What took you so long?

Well, I wanted to see who was going to win.

I had him right where I wanted him.

Yeah. Yeah, come on.

I've never spoken to the client himself, Mr. Smith.

Made the arrangement for Lila's date.

And you're sure it's the same Smith that called and asked for another girl? Oh,

I'm positive.

Call this number at two o'clock exactly.

Mention Smith, and the client will take it from there.

And Terry, I'm really pleased you've joined our organization.

Remember, make the client happy.

Oh, don't worry, I will.

Look at this stuff.

Guys are walking armory.

Curare? Yeah.

A curare derivative was used last year to assassinate a government minister in

Central America.

Your job?

Prove it.

I intend to.

Toothpaste industrial strength Toothpaste yeah

Anybody

check his watch not yet

1

22 a.m

Forget to set it this morning?

Plastique.

Guy's got something for every occasion.

That's enough to blow his way out of a cell.

All right.

As soon as we're finished here, I want him taken to the safe house, stripped,

searched again, and locked up.

And then I don't want anyone within ten feet of him.

Understood? Yes, sir.

Can't be Trace.

State-of-the-art scrambler.

It could be whoever's hired him.

There's one way to find out.

Uh... Yes?

Mr. Smith here. Do you have the time?

Yes.

1.24 a.m.

Confirmed.

I'll place the payments and directions behind the monument in the northwest

corner of our Holy Father Cemetery.

Got it.

When?

Three o'clock.

This afternoon?

Agreed. It will be there for one hour only. Then I will reclaim it.

Don't worry. I'll be there. The woman you requested will call you at exactly

two o'clock.

Excellent.

It's a paymaster setting up the drop.

I think we're on a roll.

We are.

Is

it

true he uses call girls to make his pickups? Yeah, he does.

And then he kills them.

Smith says the new girl will give a call about two o'clock.

I guess I better follow through with the lady.

Has Piedra?

No. I need to work.

You could also get killed.

Yeah?

Got anybody else?

General Smith, he seems to be carrying the money with him. Just do not lose it.

It's two o'clock.

That's right.

And it'll be two o'clock for the next 40 seconds.

I'm going to arrange for a backup.

Oh, that's terrific.

I'm out there impersonating Piedra and you've got feds crawling out of manholes

and dangling from trees. Thanks.

We just relax.

Mr. Smith told me to call.

My name's Terry.

You're to follow my instructions precisely.

Now listen carefully.

You Terry?

For me?

Nope.

We have an appointment.

Where's the car?

Around the corner.

You'll drive.

Where to?

I'll tell you as we go.

All you have to do is pick something up and deliver it to me.

What if something happens and we get separated?

We'll meet at my hotel room.

Here's the key.

Terry, you sure you do exactly as I tell you?

Of course. Don't you trust me?

I don't trust anybody.

It's feeding time.

What a waste of the taxpayer's money.

Away from the bars.

All right.

Oh, young.

No knife and fork?

Are you kidding?

A woman?

She's the assassin?

I do not think so.

I heard he often uses women to run errands for him.

However, she should be able to lead him to him directly.

Come on.

We're being followed.

Who is it?

It's a good question.

Yeah, this is DX5. Give me extension 5620.

Yeah. Pete?

That's Connors. Thornton hasn't gotten here yet. Can I help?

Yeah. I made the pickup and I have a line on the target.

I'll fill you in later.

I'm on my way in.

And check out a plate for me, will you?

Plate number Peter Jackson Peter 586.

Right.

Put the phone down.

Now.

Please put the phone down.

Now.

Look.

Don't you think we should talk about this for a minute?

No talk.

You killed my sister, and now I'm going to kill you.

Your sister?

Oh, no, no, no. I think you got it all wrong.

I'm not the man you think I am. Put it down!

It's just toothpaste.

Put it down!

I did not...

Kill your sister. I am not Piedra.

The man your sister calls Mr. Gray?

Sure. The check's in the mail.

You killed my sister.

And now you're gonna kill me. And I don't care. Mr.

Piedra. Or Gray. Or whatever. Name's MacGyver.

I'm on a government assignment taking Piedra's place.

He's in custody.

Terry.

Think about it for a second.

If I was Piedra, you'd be dead by now, wouldn't you?

Piedra's in a cell.

Believe me, he's gone.

All wrapped up and stashed away someplace.

He's history.

It's over.

I almost shot you.

When I saw Lila dying... She saw the family.

I had left him.

And he killed her.

I'm going to drop this off and then get you into debriefing.

What?

Well, the important thing now is we've got a line on Piedra's next target.

It was supposed to happen at 4 o'clock this afternoon at St. Marcus Convent. We

have to consider this a major assassination.

Archbishop Fierro was going to be killed. Now, he's not.

I know you've had a tough time.

But if you need someone to listen...

What do you want?

Out.

Dr. Tom, he's on his way over.

Feels good, doesn't it?

Knowing it's over?

What scares me is I almost killed you.

Nah, Terry, if you were that kind of person, you'd have pulled the trigger on

me.

No, you don't understand.

I wanted to hear him beg.

I wanted to watch his face as he died.

And now I'll never get the chance.

Yeah? Come with us, please. What do you mean, come with? Go! Get off!

Get off!

Get into the car. All right, all right.

Wow,

I'll be glad when this thing is over, you guys.

Yeah, that's the truth.

Just trying to work all this out on paper here.

the guys who chased us out of the cemetery.

Guess I owe you a set of tires. Keep moving.

I must go now and meet the Archbishop.

Be careful.

Raul! La pistola.

No, you guys are way off base. I'm not Piedra. We saw your playmaster when he

left his blood money for you. And we saw her get it and give it to you.

We know you have been hired to kill the archbishop.

Is it only you, senor?

Or are there others? What is your plan?

Who hired you?

I'm telling you, you're wrong.

I do not want to hurt you.

But I am sworn to protect the archbishop.

Well, that's good. That's terrific.

Because Piedra, the assassin you were waiting for this morning, He was caught.

He's in a cell right now.

Well, why can't you just believe us?

In God's name, I wish I could, senorita.

But I must know the truth.

No matter how painful the way, the archbishop's life is in my hands.

Excuse me.

The reception for the Archbishop?

On the back lawn.

Ah, thank you.

Here, let me help you. Oh, that's very kind of you.

We should expect it very soon.

Within the next half hour, the lady. Oh, that's excellent.

I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to it.

Oh, good to see you again, Sister Eileen. This is a wonderful occasion for

me. For all of us.

Everybody who contributed to your cause wanted to be here today to meet you.

Yes, I want to meet them and to thank them.

And is everything well with you, my loyal friend?

I have my fears, Your Excellency.

As always.

We have a bargain.

He keeps watch on my life and I look after his soul.

But I feel guilty.

But works much harder at his part of the arrangement It would make our job a lot

easier if you would listen to our advice your excellency, but then I would get

nothing done Excuse me

You know, Emilio, you have got a head of pure rock.

Just call the number, will you?

What have you got to lose?

I see. I call and alert who?

Your confederates?

Those who hired you?

Tell him he's paranoid.

No, he's just scared.

And I don't blame him.

Put that down. Just roll it. relax, will you? Let Terry make the call. I said put

it down.

I warn you.

Put it down.

DX-5, XC-4479.

Voice pattern accepted.

Hold for connect.

Mac, is that you?

Yeah, Pete?

I'm at St. Marcus Convent, and I'd like you to straighten somebody out for me,

would you?

Archbishop Fierro's bodyguard here thinks I'm Piedra.

Mac, Piedra's escaped.

He killed Connors, four others.

Damn bloodbath.

What? Yeah, Connors.

Listen, let's talk about the Archbishop. If he's the target, Pedro could be

heading... Here.

His Excellency.

Yeah. Look, Pete, we've got some people here, but you better come on over while

I explain the facts of life to the Archbishop.

Terry, fill him in.

Please hurry.

Sorry, Mr. MacGyver, but I must make an appearance and thank my friends.

But, Your Excellency, you will be risking your life.

That is what the life is for.

The people who are here have contributed to our cause generously, in money and of

themselves. But with all due respect, Your Excellency, the people will

understand.

They will understand that I have allowed myself to be directed not by God, but by

terror, by an assassin.

I must do the Lord's will as it is revealed to me.

I am imperfect.

He is not.

He is a great man, but he will die.

We're all going to die. The trick is not to rush it. Emilio, con permiso. Lopez,

un momento.

Look,

just keep your men moving around the ground. You've got to show up in the

crowd somewhere.

Well, Senor MacGyver, nobody has seen Piedra. My men will not be able to

recognize him. Well, I've seen him, but I don't think a description would do

much good. He knows I'd recognize him, so he'll be wearing some kind of a

disguise. Look for a blind man, somebody wearing a uniform, a guy in a

wheelchair. Look for the person who'd be the least likely assassin.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming.

I am Sister Eileen Kennedy. We are a service order, and in Archbishop

Fierro's country, we have found a mission to work with the poor, the sick,

the children.

And with your help, we have created a small miracle.

The opportunity, the real hope, that soon they can be free.

And we believe with all our hearts this can be done without bloodshed.

Thank you.

The Archbishop himself will thank you in a few moments. He's conducting a

blessing service with some of our sisters now. So please, be patient.

Go to the front of the house and make sure that nobody leaves.

Carlos, go to the driveway in the back and make sure that nobody leaves the

compound.

Have you checked the grounds? To the wall. But I think he's inside.

I mean, there are classrooms, studies, the tower. When did the archbishop come

out? When he finishes a blessing to the sisters who have been to my country.

Where?

The chapel.

sister, please.

Please.

Excellency.

Will you listen to a prayer?

Thank you.

This is for Lila.

Terry, no!

The wages of sin, I think.

Get him out of here.

I want to apologize first for the delay.

I assure you, my dear benefactors, that this is a time of great joy for all of

us. We opened the children's hospital one week ago.

He does not know how close it was.

Well, Emilio, maybe he is in God's hands.

Gracias, senor McGyver. You're welcome.

And Piedra's dead.

Fair enough.

Yeah, almost.

What does that mean?

Well, it's just that I'll never know for sure.

Oh. Know what?

Whether or not he could have taken it.
