Thank you.

What the hell are you doing here?

What do you mean, what am I doing here?

You take an emergency leave of absence, grab a Soviet ID, a map of northern

Russia, and you split. You didn't even say goodbye to me.

What, so you just naturally have to follow me?

Pete, we're friends.

If you got troubles, I got troubles.

In fact, this one is all mine.

Alexander Karsov.

Candidate for the Nobel, led a civil rights protest in Moscow a while back.

He's got a cabin right up the river, too, doesn't he? How do you know all

that? I, uh, pulled the operations file from your office.

How else was I supposed to find out where you were, huh?

So, is this Karsov your problem?

Yeah.

He died three days ago.

Under police interrogation.

Because of his contacts with an American secret agent.

Well, that sounds like the usual phony cover-up.

No.

It's true. I was the agent.

But there wasn't any spying.

I was his friend. I was helping him move some letters from political prisoners to

relatives, friends outside of Russia.

Somehow we slipped, and they caught him.

Pete, you can't blame yourself for that.

The hell I can't.

Alex is dead.

And now I've learned they're going to arrest his daughter, too, Maria.

So you came to Russia to get her out. Well, that's great, Pete. How do we

operate?

Mac, this is personal, all right? First person singular.

Just me.

I'm not going to jeopardize anyone else in this. Hey, hold it.

I'm here. I traveled 10,000 miles to be here. Now, like it or not, you got me.

Okay.

But she's going to be a little nervous about anyone arriving here. Let me go in

alone, all right?

You just wait here.

All right? Yeah.

Okay.

Maria. Oh, Peter.

God in heaven, are you crazy coming here?

Don't you know?

Yes, I do.

Come in.

Maria, I... I can't tell you how truly sorry I am.

I have no time for weakness.

The police, in their infinite sensitivity, have ordered me out.

Peter, an American doesn't simply drop in in the middle of Russia. Maria, I

have come to take you out of here.

No! Before you are arrested.

A car like that's got to be the secret police.

Three men in a black car.

Maria Alexandrovna Kalkova.

Yes? You are requested to accompany us to police headquarters.

There are some questions.

And the answer is she is guilty and will be sent to the gulag.

No. Maria Alexandrovna, I am only a policeman. Then find yourself an honest

trade. I'm not coming.

Hi, Pete.

Any ideas?

The boat, Pete.

All right.

and you want to leave me behind.

Everybody makes mistakes.

Not much chance of their hitting us. Not unless they get lucky.

We've got to get them off our tail.

Give me a hand, Peach.

What are we doing?

Wrecking this blanket.

Gonna build something for them to run into.

That boat's got a jet drive.

You gonna jam their intake?

You got it.

Got him!

He's on fire!

Well, all right.

Nice driving.

MacGyver, I'm truly happy to finally meet you.

Maria Alexandrovna Karsov.

Mac, I'm grateful.

You bet. And I am. To both of you.

Peter,

you risked your life coming here to help me.

And you, MacGyver.

Maria, what else could we do? When I learned that Alex was dead, I rushed

here as soon as I could. No, no, no, Peter. What you heard was a lie.

My father isn't dead.

What?

He's being held secretly in the state mental hospital.

Hold on, wait a minute. Why this death notice, then?

Because he is known.

Because he is loved.

They announce his death and wait.

If there is not too much public protest, then he will die.

No.

No, he will not.

Listen, I'm just grateful he's alive.

And thank God you are free.

To leave Russia?

I thank you, Peter, but I'm not going to escape.

The hospital is near Leningrad. I have friends there.

I'm going to get my father out.

No, we are.

Hey, what about me?

I've never been to Leningrad before.

I hear it's a real party town.

Listen, Maria, your friends were real helpful.

They're very loyal.

And I'll do my part.

Well, we've now got travel permits, identification papers, and medical

certificates. That's great.

So we'll just waltz right in.

There it is.

Kind of impressive.

Right in the middle of nowhere.

It's a psychiatric hospital. It has to be isolated.

Are you certain we can do this?

Nope.

Maria.

Are you sure you can handle your part of this plan?

My part is simple.

They take advantage of cheap labor from the village.

But yours, MacGyver, is... It's a bit mad.

Yeah, that's the idea.

Let's go, Mac.

Good luck.

This is highly irregular.

I was not even told you were coming, Doctor.

Torrin, I'm no happier than you are, Doctor.

I'm required to stay here for a week of observation.

Although there doesn't seem to be much question.

Is he really schizophrenic or is he political?

He's ill.

Why do you ask?

There are different modes of treatment.

Dr. Suvarin specializes in political patients.

I myself do not enjoy...

acting as an agent of the internal security.

We carry out an important duty.

But I can see that he is a simple, good fellow.

He won't give us trouble.

No, absolutely not. In fact, I planned on putting him in a minimum security

observation ward. Doctor, you will observe your patient.

Nothing less, nothing more.

But he will be housed and treated under our rules.

Thank you.

Well,

my friend, welcome to Ward K.

As long as you make an honest effort, we'll get along.

He means take your pills, do as you're told.

It keeps everything under control.

Better to eat flesh and drink blood.

This is Lopat.

Just give him plenty of room, especially at night.

So, if you belong here, it's that side of the world.

If you're political, it's here.

Still having illusions that you're a political prisoner, Dimitri?

That's what I am.

You bad bug. Please don't provoke me, Dimitri.

Or I would be forced to quiet you down again.

Now, this is just talk.

You belong here.

What about you, sir? Do you belong here?

I am political.

But I also drink blood.

Do you play?

I play both of you at the same time. I play all of you.

You're getting overexcited.

No.

We must learn to trust.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to take this for a little while.

Please, no.

Please, yes.

For God's sake, let him have it.

We all must learn to live together, don't we?

The patients eat in here, in small groups.

Oh. And the, uh, politicals? With the others.

Medication in the food?

No. I strongly disapprove of drugs instead of treatment.

Well, how do you control the drug dispensing?

Mild tranquilizers are kept in the wards, and the stronger drugs are kept

locked up in my office.

Well, you're very wise to be so careful, Natalia.

Dr. Thorin!

Your patients became violent.

What? Where?

I'm not laughing.

Big of you.

But it's not easy.

You know, with the flip of a coin, this could have been you in here.

Will you just get me out?

My head hurts and my body's about to turn numb.

All right, just stay cool.

I located the psychotropic drugs. What about Karsoff?

There are three politicals in the ward along with me.

They ought to know where he is.

If I can get him to talk.

We're rolling, Pete.

Yeah.

There is one hitch.

What? I only brought in one set of block picks.

What? Well, I don't know if I can get them back to you after I open the drug

cabinet. Timing, Pete.

Yes.

All you've got to do is break into a cheese box. I've got to break into a

cell.

Change the timing?

Remember Belgrat?

Don't change the timing.

Right. Look, I'll get my own set of lockpicks, all right?

Good. Let's go.

I'm

here

because of a man named Karsoff.

Alexander Ivanovich Karsoff.

Never heard of him.

We need to leave. I have to make contact.

How?

By flying out of the window?

Or melting through the wall?

We have a plan.

Just tell me where he is.

He is in Ward Zero.

Not to Queen's Bishop Four.

That's the move I would make.

But I died.

Ward Zero.

Who are you?

I'm here with Maria Karsova.

We were given help and papers in Leningrad by Andre Varson. Any good

police spy might know the names.

Knight to Queen's Bishop Ford.

But he wouldn't take a beating just to save a poor fool's chess set.

Ward Zero is just above us.

But it's supposed to be empty.

Oh, he is in Ward Zero.

I saw.

I remembered his work on differential topology.

Where is that?

How will you get out of here?

I'll just have to get a set of keys.

Excuse me.

Every light bulb has tungsten filament.

Two pieces of spring steel. Right size, right shape.

Let there be light.

First corridor on the left, and then upstairs.

Colorized version.

Look. Thank you.

Anointed version.

Gentlemen.

I'm going to need your help.

I will check on it.

Ford Zero, with one problem.

Caulking compound mixed with the proper hardening agent makes a unique version

of Russian crazy glue.

If I get out of this, I'll be sure to mail him the recipe.

What is this?

Keep my ear.

Secure all words.

Secure all.

patient in this section.

They will certainly search this room and then they find you.

War Zero Security, report!

We're going to get you out of here.

We? Please trust me, sir.

has been secured.

All guards and attendants report back to your stations.

No, leave it alone.

I want him to restrain.

No, Sovereign, no.

Doctor, Sovereign, please.

Doctor. All right, Doctor, you'll cripple him.

Prolonged loss of blood circulation will frequently result in permanent trauma

inflicted upon muscle tissue and may also entail blockage to... I didn't know

you had medical training.

I remember things.

Oh, but then you forget again, yes?

I...

Here. Maybe I should burn that chest right there so you can think about other

things.

Do

not

touch the chest part until I give you permission.

Thank you.

Speak about that again later.

But for now, clean up this mess.

It's all right.

He didn't use the needle.

This way, sir.

Dr. Torrey!

Where in the hell have you been?

Outside. For a stroll.

What?

The moonlight.

It's very important to me.

Come, I'll show you the open gate.

Shouldn't there be better security, comrade?

There are some disturbed people here.

Just show me the open gate.

I can't see.

Comrade, it is night.

Wolves and owls can see.

Men and flowers wait for the sun.

You've been here too long, Comrade. Go outside and look for yourself if you

don't believe me.

Can I get some medicine, please?

I can't sleep.

All right, all right.

No more noise.

Oh, of course, of course.

Crazy?

Indeed.

Thank you.

You made it.

At some risk through my heart.

Now, who are you? Just a volunteer.

Along with Peter Thornton and your daughter.

Peter is here?

Why?

Friendship.

Don't want to make trouble for people.

And Maria.

I pleaded with her to leave.

Yeah, well, she's a little stubborn when it comes to you. Children.

I'm proud of her.

And I worry.

Trouble I may bring to her.

with phase one.

Get you out of your cell and leave them searching.

And then phase two has Maria in the village passing as a local girl.

She's arranged to work in the hospital dining room.

When the security staff is eating, she'll help us take care of them.

And tomorrow morning is phase three.

Pete will kick that off in about five hours.

And I want you to be a surgeon.

But for a woman, you know, it's very difficult.

Stubarin, you'll give me a heart attack yet.

My apologies, Natalia Petrovich, but I have the precise medication for your

conditions.

It's a powerful psychotropic drug. I don't understand.

I'll explain.

It is worth a lot of money on the black market.

And that is why you and your co-conspirator here stole it.

Warren, have you finally gone mad?

Perhaps it's just a little bit of paranoia.

It's true.

I have already telephoned Leningrad.

You are both under house arrest.

You will see no one. Picture no one. You are present.

the village thanked me.

To you.

To me?

Oh, yes. Well, yes.

Yes.

And? What?

What do you order?

Orders? Of course.

Knife, fork, spoon, and napkin.

On this table only.

Only this table? Yes. For the staff, you know. Doctors.

nurses, security officers.

So it is important that it must be correct.

Of course.

When do they eat breakfast?

In 20 minutes. So quick, quick, quick, my girl.

Good morning.

We're getting out for our exercise.

Oh, you don't, Dimitri.

Not until the patient that escaped last night has been found.

And the criminal plot that I discovered in this hospital has been fully

resolved. Criminal plot?

Yes, the theft of valuable drugs by Dr.

Petrovich, the new doctor.

And, I assume, until proven otherwise, our new patient.

Good works about it.

As it happens, I've been investigating this drug ring for some time.

I'm KGB and... Stay where you are.

I'm sure the three of you will benefit greatly from chemical

interrogations. No!

I know what her art is. Good, show me. Let's go.

Come on. We know this, Claire.

Hi.

Well, glad you could make it. Thanks. You are Black Market. No, we're just

your basic revolutionaries. Forward to the people! You bet!

Trust us, Natalia. Trust us.

as you're here.

Well, seems to be working.

So far.

Here's the medication. Now it's all mixed. What do you think you're doing,

eh?

Who are you?

What are you doing?

What is going on?

We're breaking out.

Oh.

We wouldn't like it if you interfered. No, no, no.

You can lock me in the closet.

Or the supply room.

Or the cellar. That closet will do just fine.

Yes, of course. Yes, yes.

Sorry.

This is a sedative.

It's a mild psychotropic.

You'll never feel happier.

Okay.

What's that?

Mojito. Balsam.

Queen, two rook, one.

Yes?

I will make the move for you.

Yes, here. Yes, knight.

Clever move, yes?

Incidentally.

You are in check.

You must move cake.

I'm working for you.

You're welcome.

You play very well.

Maria!

Maria!

Patient? No, we were patient. What?

Well, we figure it's about time for the patient to take over the asylum, old

pal.

Natalia, we are leaving now. We're going to go.

And you can come with us if you want. You'll be able to practice medicine the

way you want to.

Join us.

I cannot stay here. I do not know what I will do, but I will help.

Oh, right.

Let's go.

Hurry, quickly.

It's not far, Alex.

We'll be across the Finnish border in two hours. No, no, no.

I don't go with you.

No, they have made me too...

Too famous now to kill. And now you give me another chance?

I will take it to speak out.

Alex, they've had you locked in a straitjacket.

It's a government, Peter.

Not Russia. A government.

Yeah.

More people like you around.

Just about anything can happen.

Anything.

Well, the word is out.

There should be a lot of people here.

Thank you.

Papa.

Oh, Masha.

We agreed.

But if you can stay, why can't I?

If they take you, then they have me.

Come, you're young.

You will see America.

You can be my boy, Spade.

And then, maybe, some better time, you can come home again.

Meanwhile, we will work to make it a better time.

And what about you, Natalia?

Are you sure?

No.

But hopeful.

Because he believes.

That government can't change?

Oh, yes.

This? This cannot.

This land is part of me.

I'm afraid I was not designed for exile.

I owe you so much.

Also you, MacGyver.

Al, speaking for Pete and myself, I think we've been paid in full.

Alexander, Karsov, it's you!

You're alive!

Everyone, look!

It's me,

Karsov!
