All language subtitles for MacGyver - 211 - Phoenix Under Siege

When I was about 10,

I got my first chemistry set.

I've been a beaker-and-test-tube nut
ever since.

My mom said I was gonna
come up with a formula

that would either
improve the world...

... or blow up the house.

I kind of felt like
I was in an old movie.

The sound of the rain and thunder,
the flashes of lightning

and me, working alone
on a top-secret project.

I'm not sure why,

but I could sense that this time,
everything was gonna click.

And then I'd finally complete
the formula I'd been working on

for such a long time.

But I also knew that every drop
I added to the mixture

could mean the difference
between success and failure,

between Jekyll and Hyde.

Whenever they talk about an
overnight scientific breakthrough,

you can bet it took years
of trial and error.

And when all those experiments
look like they're about to pay off,

well, you can get
a kind of tunnel vision.

All you see are those glass tubes,

and the rest of the world
just sort of disappears.

Hi, Harry. Raining out?

No, I took a walk in a car wash.

You've been gone
an awful Iong time.

Ain't you been working on this
Iong enough, whatever it is?

Yes, I certainly have.
It's time for the test.

- What kind of a test?
- The ultimate test.

Well, hold it. What if you got
the wrong kind of bromide in there?

Bud, you okay?

Speak to me.

It's great. You gotta have some.

- Not till you tell me what it is.
- It's eggnog. Nonalcoholic eggnog.

Nonalcoholic eggnog?

- You're putting me on.
- Nope.

You sure the world needs
a drink Iike this?

- What happened to your finger?
- Oh, the perils of science. Drink up.

Hope you didn't spend
too much time developing this.

Another December 14th.

Hard to believe it's been 25 years.

I'm glad you're here, Harry.
Especially today.

Well, when you said we were
gonna see Gretzky and the Oilers,

I figured it was worth a trip.

Yeah.

It's been two hours.

This operation against the Phoenix
Foundation is never gonna work.

I don't remember asking your opinion.

How much Ionger
are we gonna wait?

As Iong as it takes for Murphy
to come out.

What makes you think
that the building's empty?

It's Sunday night.
Murphy's is the only car here.

Well, someone else could show up.
Maybe Karl-

No names!

The Liberation Front
hired me to do this job.

They sent you to back me up.

We go inside,
we activate the device,

the building blows up
and we walk away,

never to see each other again.

Is that clear?

- Yeah.
- Good.

I can't wait to see Gretzky
and those Oilers skate.

Our seats anywhere near the ice?

CIose enough to hear
some pretty outrageous Ianguage.

Great! Never seen Gretzky
in person.

Figured I never would-

- What's the matter?
- The tickets.

- Where are they?
- I don't know.

You don't know?

Did you Iose them? I come all the way
from Minnesota to see this game.

Harry, will you Iet me- ?
Let me think. Let me think.

He gave them to me in his office.
We went down to the computer bay

to access the Tompkins file,
back to his office...

They gotta be at
the Phoenix Foundation.

Come on, Harry.
We can still make opening face-off!

There's Murphy.

- Murphy's a woman!
- What sharp Iittle eyes you have.

Let's go.

Aren't you from the eighth floor?

Physics research
or something Iike that?

- Fourth. Demographics.
- Oh, yeah.

I thought I'd seen you
someplace before.

I'm Victoria James.

Susan Murphy.

Find her car key and put the body
in the trunk of the car.

Wait!

I'd seen you someplace before.

- I'm Victoria James.
- Susan Murphy.

I Iove the fuzz, Harry.

You run out of shaving cream
back home, or what?

I forgot to do it this morning.

Harry Jackson, you've got
that sandpaper beard again.

Will you please remember to shave?

You know, it's gotta be
at Ieast 20 years

since we've seen a game together.

Yeah.

I don't wanna miss
a second of it, either.

Don't worry.
I know all the shortcuts.

Remember when you were a kid,

that winter I taught you
how to skate backwards?

Oh, I can't forget it.
Spent the whole winter on my butt.

Ever think of putting doors on this
thing before somebody gets drowned?

Haven't Iost a passenger yet, Harry.

Hey, bud, where in the sam hill
are you going?

Dad, who's Sam Hill?

You been talking
to your Grandpa Harry again?

Yeah.

Who's Sam Hill?

I don't know why
the Front's using her.

She doesn't believe
in what we're fighting for.

- She's only in it for the money.
- Look, we've used outsiders before.

She designed and planted
the bomb at the airport.

- She's supposed to be very good.
- Yeah?

If she's so good,
how come the bomb didn't go off?

It didn't go off
because my support team

virtually invited the police
to the scene.

Not to mention the experts
from the Phoenix Foundation.

Hey, we don't Iike the Phoenix
Foundation any more than you do.

And they're gonna pay the price
for interfering with our plans.

Well, I don't really care
about your reasons.

I'm going to detonate the device

because I don't want it traced
back to me.

Leave the doors open
and watch for my signal.

Help you, miss?

Excuse me, I've Iost my voice. I can't-

What's that again?

Come on!

He'II be out for hours.
Lock him in an elevator.

- What floor are we going to?
- Eight, where the main computer is.

Release one of the elevators.

You'II get a kick out of
seeing the Phoenix Foundation.

I got no time for sightseeing.
Not if we're going to a hockey game.

- Come on, bud, we gotta go.
- Oh, keep your hat on, Harry.

There's 60 minutes of ice time.
There's plenty of time.

Voice identification, please.

Susan Murphy.

That's perfect!
That tape recorder worked perfect!

It's a Iaser-assisted
digital recorder. I built it.

Why do you need the computer?

Why don't we just set the bomb
and blow the building up?

In order for me to activate the device,
I have to do one very important thing.

Can you guess what that is?

- Find it?
- Very good.

Hi. How you doing tonight?

- Where's Lou?
- Home, sick. Touch of the flu, I hear.

It's going around.

Name's MacGyver.
I'm on the clearance Iist.

I Ieft some hockey tickets upstairs.

- He's with me.
- I'II release the elevator for you then.

I'd appreciate it.

Use car number two.

- How we doing?
- I'm doing fine.

Would you put that cigarette out?

Surprised they'd Iet you in
without an ID.

Well, you told them I was with you.

Yeah, but Security's usually
a Iittle more strict

about who they Iet in here.

Got a call from downstairs.
Two guys are coming up.

I haven't Iocated the device yet.

Take the equipment
and get out of here.

I'II meet you in the stairwell.

I'm telling you,
we'II never make the game.

Can't see the game
without tickets, Harry.

Voice identification, please.

MacGyver.

Sunday night.
That's what I call dedication.

Well, it's what I call fear.

My boss says he wants these figures
by Monday morning or I am doomed.

My name's MacGyver.

This is my grandfather,
Harry Jackson.

Susan Murphy. I've heard
an awful Iot about you.

- Anything good?
- Some.

- We better get moving.
- Yeah, Harry, we will.

What kind of work you doing?

Oh, I just had to access
some demographic figures.

I'm almost through now.

- Bud.
- Yeah. Okay, Harry.

- We'II see you again.
- I'm sure of it.

Well, I know I didn't Ieave the tickets
in the computer bay.

They gotta be here somewhere.

There it is.

Nice to meet you.

Maybe the tickets aren't here.
Maybe your friend Pete took them.

No, he doesn't Iike hockey.

How can you work
for a guy Iike that?

Tell the Iobby to kill the elevators
and secure the stairwell door.

- What for?
- Have him cut the outside phone Iines,

- but not the intercom system.
- I don't see why you're doing this.

You don't have to see why
I'm doing it, just do what I tell you.

Get on the phone,
I wanna talk to your people.

- We gonna blow the building now?
- Soon.

We're gonna blow the building soon.

I don't think we're gonna make it
to that game.

Come on, Harry. Be positive.

I'm positive we ain't gonna make it
to that game.

The Liberation Front.

Yes, I've Iocated the device.

But there's a man in the building
named MacGyver.

Wasn't he the one who stopped
your assassination attempt in Kuwait?

Yes, I thought you might.

Of course I can, but he's not
part of our original deal.

I got it!

When Pete and I came back
from the computer bay,

we were talking
about the Tompkins file.

- What are you Iooking for?
- The Tompkins file.

There they are. Let's go!

Yes, but the point is,
how much is MacGyver worth to you?

Somehow I think you can do
a Iot better than that.

Done.

- Get MacGyver and the old man.
- Why bother?

The building's Iocked down.
You're gonna set the bomb.

He's smart enough to figure a way out
before I can arm the device.

MacGyver's the best man
that the Phoenix Foundation has.

If he's dead, it'II help your cause.

You don't know anything
about our cause.

No, but I know a Iot
about $100,000,

which is what the Front
is willing to pay.

Find him. Kill him.

Kill them both.

Bud, I gotta hand it to you.
I never thought we'd find them in time.

I knew these tickets
would show up sooner or Iater.

Well, at my age,
they better show up sooner.

Oh, come on, Harry.
You're gonna go on forever.

That's what I used to think.

Oh, just for safekeeping,
I'II put these puppies in my pocket.

Gonna put these puppies
in my pocket.

How come you want me
to call you Harry?

- That's my name.
- But you're my grandpa.

Yep.

But "Grandpa" is for an old man.

Name's Harry.

Your move.

What's wrong with this thing?

Huh?

You don't suppose they forgot
we're here, shut down the building?

No, we haven't signed out yet.

Something's weird here.

Lipstick.

What?

That girl we just met, Susan,
she was wearing Iipstick,

but there wasn't any
on her cigarette.

What cigarette?

You didn't smell the smoke
in the room?

There was a fresh cigarette
in the ashtray, but no Iipstick on it.

PIus, she said she was working
demographics.

The Demographic department's
on the fourth floor. This is the eighth.

A security guard
I've never seen before,

I don't Iike what's going on here.
Well, Iet's check the stairway.

- What are you doing?
- Shh. Quiet!

God! Harry!

What the hell's going on?
Why are they shooting at us?

I guess those tickets
are hotter than I thought.

What are you doing?

SIowing down the hydraulics
on this door.

Come on.

- Let's go, Harry.
- That's easy for you to say.

You're not running on my knees.

Put the equipment down. Open
the cases, but don't take anything out.

Don't touch that!

That's the bomb?

Looks just Iike a Iittle suitcase.

Yes, well, I find it more convenient
than a brown paper bag.

What's your name, anyway?

Fred. But you said
you didn't wanna know our names.

Yours I wanna remember.

Come on, Iet's get to work.

This is a fire door.
It's never supposed to be Iocked.

There's a New York Iock on it.

It's got a suction base. The harder
you push, the stronger it gets.

Who put it there?

I'd be willing to guess
that guy at the desk.

- You saying we're trapped in here?
- Yeah.

Why'd they wanna do that?

I don't know, Harry.
I really don't know.

- Where are we going?
- Well, there's a Iab on the third floor.

Maybe we can find what we need
to open that door.

You all right?

There was a time I could run all day
without breaking a sweat.

I tell you, it's hell getting old.

Age is only in the mind, Harry.

Well, my mind tells me
I'm getting old.

I better call Pete.
He can get things moving.

Line's dead. Let's get to that Iab.

They gotta be
around here somewhere.

Wouldn't it have been easier
just to bring another bomb

and set it off in the basement?

I don't want anything Ieft
of this one.

I built it. The design is as personal
as a fingerprint.

The Ionger they have to study it,
the closer they get to me.

I don't want anybody
closing in on me.

Whoo.

There's gotta be a reason
those guys are after us.

You know some secrets
about this Phoenix place?

No, the Foundation
just does research, Harry.

It's a think tank.

Well, we're going in the tank
if we don't think of a way out of here.

If we can't push through
that New York Iock,

maybe we can slide it
out of the way.

What do you got in mind?

Dry-cell batteries and copper wire
and an iron bar.

Think I know what you're going for.

- Ought to work fine.
- I hope so.

There's our 24 volts of juice.

This will be our iron bar.

And that's where they keep
the good stuff, Harry.

I knew it.

Help me out here, Harry.

Remind you of that magnet

I built that summer?

Used it to pick up shoeing nails
out of the horse stalls.

Seems kind of strange not being up
at the farm this time of year.

AIways wanted to be alone
about this time.

Yeah, I've asked you down
every year.

- I was surprised when you said yes.
- Yeah.

This evening, back at your place...

...the reason I was gone so Iong...

...couldn't remember where I was.

Everything seemed the same.

Well, you don't know
the neighbourhood.

Oh...

That ain't it.

Last month, I was ploughing...

...I couldn't find my way back
to the barn.

Been working that same piece of Iand
for 20 years.

If you've been feeling Iike this,
why didn't you come down and talk?

That's what families are for.

I've been scared
of that damn bus ride.

I had this picture in my mind
of dying on that bus

all by myself.

I'm scared of that, bud.

I never thought
you'd be scared of anything.

Never was till now.

You know, when I was a kid,
I used to have nightmares,

and you used to tell me:

"Being scared's a Iot worse
when you're all alone."

I was right.

You're not alone, Harry.

Neither am I.

It's just taken us an awful Iong time
to figure that out.

AII right.

Why are you doing this?
Just for the money?

No, Fred, not just for the money.

For the chance to work
with pros Iike you.

Some of these gizmos Iook Iike
they're straight out of Flash Gordon.

Oh, we passed Flash Gordon
a Iong time ago.

What's that, a sonic blaster?

EIectric razor.

The head guy of the Iab gets
five o'clock shadow around noon.

As Iong as you're going to the store,

would you pick up some cigars for me?

- I'm all out.
- AII right.

But I'm going to get you a new razor.

And when you get back,
I'm gonna get you.

- Ready?
- You drive careful, Jim.

- Cats and dogs out there.
- See you in a bit.

Harry?

Harry?

You with me?

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm not ready for that yet.

Well, you've seen a Iot
of the Phoenix Foundation after all.

Yeah, but if those guys think
I'm paying for the tour, they're crazy.

Things Iike this happen to you
often?

Yeah, as a matter of fact, they do.

Hold that bar steady. Another wrap,
and we're out of here.

Shorted the system.
The Iock is jammed.

Rotten eggs.

That's hydrogen sulfide.
That stuff will kill us.

Come on, give me your scarf.
Harry, take off your coat.

Put it over your nose
and breathe through it.

Stand on these boxes.

This gas is a Iot more concentrated
on the floor.

I'm gonna need an electric current
to open that door.

Light bulb.

No, it'd take too Iong.

There's too much rigging.

Normally I wouldn't have
to tell anybody this,

but stand very still.

You mean, it could go off?

I'm a statue.

Is it armed now?

And I thought you were new at this.

I got them.

MacGyver and the old man.

Locked them in a room,
turned on the gas.

And they should be dead by now.

- They were alive when you Ieft them?
- Yeah. But-

I want you to make sure
they're dead.

- What about the bomb?
- Don't worry about it.

I won't set it until after you confirm
the kill on MacGyver and the old man.

I have to set the timer now.
Hand me that roll of cable.

- What are you doing?
- Did you ever

rub your feet on a carpet
and then zap somebody?

That's about what I'm doing.

That's all we need,
just one Iittle spark.

Come on, Harry.

I can't make it.

- Come on, Harry. Wait for me in here.
- Oh, why there?

Because you can't wait
out here in the hallway.

Hopefully, they won't Iook for you
in here.

I'II be back in a minute.

There were two obstacles

keeping Harry and me
from getting out of the building:

The lock on the door
and the guard who put it there.

Moving that New York lock
from my side of the door

meant I had to make
an electrical device,

one that had enough power
to slide the lock out of position.

A pretty mechanical operation.

As for getting rid of the guard,

I figured that'd require
a more personal touch.

When Ben Franklin stood out

in the storm with his kite and key,

he probably didn't know how much
electricity was going to mean

to future generations.

I hoped Mr. Franklin's discovery

was going to give me another shot
at my future.

By running a current
from the batteries

through the piece
of stainless steel,

I wanted to rearrange the electrons
into neat little rows.

If the voltage was strong enough,

I'd have just what I needed
to move the lock:

An electromagnet.

- Look what I found.
- Where's MacGyver?

He's getting out of here.

Going for the police.

Harry, isn't it?
Nice to see you again. Sit down.

You mean, you're the one
behind all this?

- I thought you worked here.
- Just for tonight.

Tie him up.

Harry?

- Where's the kid?
- Don't worry about him.

What are you talking about?

Hey, what's the idea?

My agreement with
the Liberation Front

is that you're all expendable.

Besides that, you annoy me.

Mr. MacGyver?

It seems that everything

I've heard about you is true.

You are a very resourceful man.

I admire that. However,

I am going to activate the
Liberation Front's explosive device,

and it will detonate in 15 minutes.

I'm gonna leave the building now.
You're perfectly free to leave too.

But I don't think you will.

Because I have your grandfather
sitting on top of the bomb.

Say hello to him, Harry.

Get out of here, bud!

See?

I really do have him.

And if I'm any judge
of human nature,

you're gonna spend the Iast
15 minutes of your Iife Iooking for him.

Goodbye, Mr. MacGyver.

You must be out of your mind.

You're just plain crazy!

Goodbye to you too, Harry.

Front-row seat, Harry.

- Card-key access verified.
Come on.

- Voice identification, please.
- MacGyver.

I knew if Harry and I
were gonna live long enough

to see Wayne Gretzky
play hockey,

I had to defuse that bomb.

But first I had to find it.

That didn't strike me
as too big a problem

because the Phoenix Foundation
has an inventory file so detailed

it can tell you how many paper clips
are in the eighth-floor supply room.

I knew you'd try to access
the inventory files.

That's because
I'm a very resourceful man.

I thought you were Ieaving.

Couldn't run the risk that you'd
find the device and disarm it.

Oh, yeah, you think I could do that?

Don't be modest.

Everybody knows
MacGyver's MacGyver.

Yeah.

So who are you?

Victoria James.

This week.

You're probably aware
of some of my work.

We're cut from the same cloth,
you and I.

- Both professionals.
- Yeah, right.

Well, this professional
doesn't take hostages.

I needed Harry to make sure
you wouldn't Ieave the building.

Well, I didn't,
so now you can Iet him go, right?

Sorry.

Nothing personal.

Goodbye, MacGyver.

Hiyah!

- Give up?
- This is going to be a test.

May the best person win.

I really expected
much more of a fight, MacGyver.

- Sorry to disappoint you.
- That's all right.

I still enjoyed every minute of it.

But I really have to go now.

Hiyah!

It's funny how

when you want time to move along,
it never does.

But when you're running
out of time,

it disappears much too soon.

I know, bud.

Mr. Harry Jackson?

Yes.

Your wife, Celia Jackson,
son-in-Iaw, James MacGyver...

What happened?

I'm sorry to tell you, sir.

There's been an accident.
Car went off the road,

down into Miller's Creek.

They both drowned.

I'm real sorry.

I'm not gonna Iose you too, Harry.

Harry?

I hope you can hear me.

If you can, listen real carefully.

We're gonna make it out of here.

I'm on the eighth floor. I need you
to give me some kind of signal.

We can still make the third period
of that hockey game.

But I need a signal.

Something, Harry.
Anything. Please.

My chances
of finding Harry in this building

were about as good as sneaking
into Fort Knox through the back door.

Unless there was a back door
into that inventory file

that Victoria hadn't erased.

All the computers at Phoenix
have backup memories

in case the primary data's erased.

I had to find that
backup inventory file.

You really have to know
the Foundation's computer system

in order to access a backup file.

I was pretty sure Victoria didn't.

I was wrong.

Fifth floor. Gotcha, Harry.

Harry?

Harry!

The bomb's set to go off
in a couple minutes. Let's go!

We'd never get out of the building
in time. I gotta disarm it.

Shot him without blinking an eye.

Yeah, well, she's dead now.

There are three microcircuit boards.
They prime the bomb.

Can you take them out?

They're integrated
into the triggering mechanism.

If I try to disconnect them,
or even move this case, we are history.

Tools. I need tools.

Got a minute to go, bud.
Will you hurry?

I gotta cut the wires,
break the connection

between the trigger and the timer.

I can't reach them.

Just pry the top off. It's only plastic.

Harry, there's a mercury switch
in there.

Any sudden move will set it off.

Twenty seconds!

Oh, yeah.

- Did you do it?
- I don't know.

Oh- Oh!

AII right!

The way I figure it, if I can
make it through a night Iike this,

- I must be in pretty good shape.
- Like I told you, Harry,

you're gonna go on forever.

Oh, I don't think so. But I'm gonna
make that hockey game.

Harry!

Are you sure
you can't stay a Iittle Ionger?

- I gotta get back home.
- What's the rush?

A Iot of things to do.

I'm gonna fix that Ieak in the roof.

It's gotta Iast me another 20 years.

Another day.

I still miss them.

We always will.

Here we go. Here we go.

- Where you going?
- With you.

What?

Well, first of all, you packed
half my stuff in your suitcase.

And I wanna spend some time
with my grandpa.
