[THEME SONG PLAYING]

It's getting late, Mr. Chung.

Mr. Thornton called.

He and MacGyver will be delayed for about an hour.

I thought you might like some tea.

Thank you, Raymond.

But the vice president of the company

doesn't have to bring me tea, you know.

No. But a friend can.

[CHUCKLING]

I just hope your friends have been able to find out

who is behind this takeover nonsense.

They're using the full resources of the Phoenix Foundation.

Uh, we'll know soon enough.

Goodnight, Raymond.

Goodnight, Mr. Chung.

[MEN TALKING EXCITEDLY]

RAYMOND: Hey!

Somebody call an ambulance!

Quickly!

[BEEPING]

You're on your own now.

Get out of here.

Mr. Ling.

Thank you for coming.

Raymond, we got here as fast as we could.

- How is he? - Not good.

He's been asking for you.

Have the police found anything?

Not yet.

I just can't imagine who would do this thing.

Mr. Chung has no enemies.

Well, we've just discovered it may be a Hong Kong cartel

that's behind the takeover moves on Chung's company.

You suspect they may have done this?

No proof, but we've been told they're the kind of organization

that could do it without a second thought.

Since Mr. Chung owns the whole company,

he becomes the only obstacle between them and a takeover.

But... attempted murder?

Who are these people?

We haven't got that pinned down yet.

A cartel is a little bit like a shadow government.

It's very hard to tell who's running it.

But this one is into anything that means fast profits --

drugs, gun running, smuggling -- you name it.

The Jade Dragon facilities

could be the final link this cartel is looking for.

What kind of link?

A network of shipping and distribution

that would allow them to move anything anywhere in the world.

My God.

[MONITOR BEEPING]

Doctor, please.

Mr. Chung wish to be alone with these gentlemen.

There is only one way to save the company now.

I need your help.

What can we do?

I have a grandson.

You must go to him.

He is my only heir.

All right, take it easy, take it easy.

You want us to bring him to you?

Tell him what has happened.

Bring him only if he wishes to come.

He must make the decision.

It is his choice.

You understand?

Where do we find him?

Uh, north of San Francisco,

at the Bai Li Monastery.

I am Luke Chung.

Name's MacGyver.

Forgive me, I was expecting you to be a little older.

I am 14.

[SIGHING]

Luke, I've got some bad news for you.

Your grandfather sent me. He's been seriously hurt.

He's dying?

I'll get my things.

Wait. Now, Luke...

I think you should understand the whole situation.

You see, your grandfather is a very important man.

He controls assets

you may not be able to comprehend.

Now, some men have hurt him.

And there's reason to believe they may try to hurt you as well.

But you came to get me, to take me to him.

I came here to give you a choice.

But... now, I...

I think it'd be a mistake for you to go.

Why?

[WIND CHIMES TINKLING SOFTLY]

You'd just be safer here, that's all.

Mr. MacGyver, the fact that you have seen my grandfather

leads me to believe that you know more about me

than I know about myself.

I've never met him.

You have offered me a choice, and my choice is to go, now.

How long will it take you to get ready?

I am ready now.

[MONITOR BEEPING]

Doctor?

This is Mr. Chung's grandson.

Well, uh...

he slipped into a deep coma.

We have done everything we can.

It's out of our hands now.

ALISDAIR: Are you sure?

Where is he now?

Well, keep an eye on him!

That was Steve at the hospital.

Why didn't you tell me Chung has a grandson?

What? The old man never said a word.

I know he had a son,

but he died somewhere down south ten years ago.

Apparently not without giving Chung a grandson.

What's Hong Kong going to say?

They wanted me to step into the old man's shoes right away.

They're going to say we blew it, that's what they're going to say.

Would you care to explain it to them?

I'd rather have Wayne deal with the grandson

before we have to explain anything.

Tell him to make it look good.

A mugging.

And tell him I want it tonight.

[MONITOR BEEPING]

[BEEPING CONTINUES]

[BEEPING SPEED INCREASES]

Doctor?

You two had better go now.

You're only going to be in the way.

All he needs is rest.

Think you could use some of that?

You know, Luke, I know a little about Jer-Jun,

but that was more than acupressure

you were using on your grandfather.

Yeah. It's something the monks taught me.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Oh, man...

It has been called into question

whether numbers will always prevail.

Come on.

Oh, boy.

Uh, look, guys...

if it's money you're after...

WAYNE: It's not the money.

It's you!

Good forehand.

It was a joke!

[FIGHTERS YELLING]

[YELLING]

[YELLING]

Luke!

THUG: Come on, let's get out of here!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Are you all right?

I was going to ask you the same thing.

They teach you to fight like that in a monastery?

Yeah.

We're friends, right?

He has recovered.

Chung? That's impossible.

It's true.

Damn!

[SIGHING]

I told Hong Kong we'd have probate procedure starting next week.

I assured them we'd have control of the company by spring.

There still is a way.

A few drops of this

mixed in with his intravenous fluid.

It leaves no trace.

They're watching; you can't...

They're not watching you.

They've got a 24-hour guard.

You can get past the guard.

I've never killed anyone.

[BUZZER]

Steve, there's always a first time.

[KNIFE CLICKS]

Okay, well, that takes care of the old man.

Now, what about the boy? Has anybody heard from Wayne?

He has failed.

The grandson is still alive.

Wonderful. Now what?

Now... it's my turn.

Do you remember your father?

I remember the two of us together,

before I was sent away to the monastery.

Your father was my only child.

And he died when you were just six.

It was then I arranged

to have you sent to the monastery.

I could not raise you.

You sent me there for enlightenment.

I've lived a good life.

So, I am blameless?

Yes.

Mmm. They trained you well, those monks.

I'm sorry, but you'll have to go now.

I'm ready to go back to my grandfather's house now.

Okay, let's go.

[BEEPING]

In here, gentlemen.

Mr. Chung's office.

We found a rope and grappling hook

hanging from that eave there.

Apparently, he lowered himself down

and fired a bomb through this window.

How would someone get up on the roof?

[SIGHING] I don't know.

I would have sworn our security was airtight.

State-of-the-art alarm systems are everywhere.

Well, someone did get in, and out.

Hey, Pete, the wrench that guy's using down there...

THORNTON: What about it?

Well, it's just like the one the guy tried to use on me last night.

Do you think there's a connection?

Have you seen a guy working around here --

an Asian fellow about five six, mid-30s, maybe,

bald in front, long hair in back, Fu Manchu mustache?

Yeah, sure.

New guy started a couple of weeks ago working as a lift operator.

Haven't seen him around in a couple of days.

- Well, what's his name? - Wayne... something. Lim.

Let me look him up in the personnel file.

SIMON: Here it comes.

Yeah, Wayne Lim. He's a driver.

THORNTON: That your man, MacGyver?

It's him.

Thanks.

[GAME CLICKING]

[BUZZER]

Yes?

GUARD: Sorry to bother you, but do you know this young lady?

TIU: I am looking for the grandson of Adam Chung.

I'm his grandson; my name is Luke.

My name is Tiu.

I am the niece of your grandfather's old friend, Lee.

This man won't let me come to the door.

I've brought a gift for your grandfather from my uncle.

A get-well gift.

They wouldn't let me bring it into the hospital.

Send her in, please.

GUARD: Just a moment, ma'am.

Put the birdcage down.

Oh.

Go right ahead.

[ENGINE STARTING]

Yeah, right.

Got it.

Well, Research hit the jackpot.

Wayne Lim passed through customs

with a young woman I.D.'d as his wife

just two weeks ago.

Now, that's two days before he started working at Jade Dragon.

And you'll never guess where the flight originated.

- Hong Kong. - Yeah.

Question is, how did someone fresh in from Hong Kong

land a job that fast?

Inside influence.

I'm going to see if I can get back in the company files,

find out who Lim used as a reference.

Then I'm going to pass out descriptions at the hospital

and double security.

- You want to cover Chung's house? - I'm on my way.

Helen, get me Jade Dragon shipping.

[BIRDS TWITTERING]

They're lovebirds.

Soon they'll be mating.

[TWITTERING]

What was it like in the monastery?

It was my home.

Didn't you feel confined?

How can you feel confined when you're in touch with the universe?

But you're so sheltered.

Sheltered?

From poverty, from hunger, from crime, from war.

Those are the dark sides of life.

As I said, you've been sheltered.

And you've been hurt.

Would you like some more tea?

Please.

[TWITTERING]

Oh, you know, I didn't realize it was so late.

I really have to go.

Will you come back?

If you want me to.

I hope your grandfather enjoys his lovebirds.

Uh, please remember to feed them.

[CHIRPING]

Who was that?

Said she was a friend. Brought the family a gift.

- What kind of gift? - Couple of birds in a big cage.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[TWITTERING]

[MUSIC BOX PLAYING]

[TWITTERING]

There you go.

[MUSIC BOX PLAYING]

Luke!

[ALARMED CHIRPING]

What do you think?

Poisoned?

She said she was the niece of my grandfather's friend.

Well, she left her purse.

Maybe we can find out who she is.

[HISSING]

LUKE: MacGyver, look out!

Great shot.

Yeah, something the monks taught me.

I'm glad.

[PHONE RINGING]

Chung residence.

Yeah, Pete.

All right, we're on our way.

It's your grandfather. He's taken a turn for the worse.

Luke... he's gone.

Wait.

What happened?

They're not sure.

They were still working on him when I got here.

The doctor said his heart just stopped.

I'm sorry, Luke.

My grandfather was murdered.

He was pretty strong, son,

but that explosion was more than anybody could take.

No.

He was poisoned.

All right, establish a second perimeter.

This one further out.

And double your men, front and back.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

More guards?

Yeah, I think we need them.

They found the hospital orderly dead in his car.

Well, that tells us how they got to Chung with the poison.

Yeah, Luke was right.

Yeah, they found traces of an organic poison in the I.V. tubing.

It's called Hey-Shin.

Pathology would never have seen it.

Question is, how did Luke know?

Let's ask him.

Hey, Luke?

Hello?

Look at this.

He's mourning the death of his grandfather.

No, he's not.

That's not a god of mourning, it's Quan-Ti.

Quan-Ti? Who's that?

That's sort of like a war god.

He's going after them himself, Pete.

THORNTON: So, where would he go?

Well, he's got the same lead I have -- the poison.

They sell this Hey-Shin in Chinese herb shops.

Luke would know that.

I'll be in Chinatown.

I'll notify the police.

[GROANS]

ALISDAIR: Amateurs!

You haven't the slightest clue what's at stake here.

All our necks are on the line, yours as well as mine!

They have been spotted sniffing around in Chinatown.

We'll find them.

- I want them alive. - What for?

There's been a change of plan.

If that young man signs over the company to us,

probate time is gonna be cut in half.

And Hong Kong is gonna love that.

No.

He will be as stubborn as his grandfather.

If he is, he'll be just as dead.

Now get going.

[LOW, INDISTINCT CHATTER IN CHINESE]

Luke!

Listen, I know what you're trying to do,

but you have got to realize

how dangerous it is for you even to be here.

In my grandfather's country,

they say a man should not live under the same sky

as his father's murderers.

Luke, you were right about your grandfather.

He was poisoned.

How you knew that, I don't know.

I looked into his eyes.

His irises had turned yellow.

I know a poison that will do that.

I have two more herbal shops to check out.

All right, let me check 'em out for you.

If I find what we're looking for, I'll take it to the police.

Why should they do my work for me?

Because it's their job.

Now, come on.

I'd advise you both to keep quiet.

Luke, I'd like you to meet your grandfather's trusted assistant.

RAYMOND: Get in the car.

Move.

Get in.

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

Make yourselves at home.

Whatever they taught you in that monastery,

think of this as a chance to learn what the real world is like.

[DOOR CREAKS CLOSED]

MacGyver, I believe she's right.

I haven't had much to do with the dark side in the monastery.

You tried to warn me, but I was obstinate.

Oh, forget about it, huh?

Uh, Luke, my Chinese is a little rusty.

Can you read this?

Of course.

It's a plea for protection.

"Save us so we may better serve you in this lifetime."

That's very old.

Luke, are you familiar with the history of the Chinese in this country?

Somewhat.

I know they first came here as laborers.

[WHIRRING]

MacGYVER: Yeah. They helped build the railroad.

They were poorly paid and badly treated.

And every once in a while,

[WHIRRING STOPS]

a bunch of vigilantes would try to show them who's boss.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to find a back door out of here.

See, the Chinese would hide in rooms like this.

But sometimes, it just wasn't enough.

So, they dug escape routes --

a whole series of tunnels underneath the city.

Then they'd build secret doors to the tunnels.

Usually in basement rooms like this one.

It was a practice they followed up until the early 1900s.

This building is just old enough.

If we can find one, we're out of here.

- And the radio's gonna do that? - I hope so.

See, the static from the speakers sends out sound waves

that are either bounced back, or they get absorbed.

- [QUIET WHIRRING] - Come here.

Hold this onto the wall just like that.

If we hit a clear spot behind the wall,

the sound of the waves are gonna change.

[WHIRRING CONTINUES]

Works sort of like sonar.

Oh, I see, and then the hollow wall hides the door.

Yeah, that's the idea.

How do you know so much, MacGyver?

[WHIRRING]

Tell you what, Luke -- I'll make a deal with you.

I'll teach you about the principles of sonar,

you teach me about Jer-Jun.

[WHIRRING VIBRATION BECOMES DEEPER]

Got it.

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

MacGYVER [WHISPERS]: Hide it!

All right, I'll be brief.

Simple business plan,

no shenanigans, no coercion.

Good value for the assets, and we all come off well.

Now, you're your grandfather's heir.

Are you going to sell?

Why should I? My grandfather wouldn't.

Oh, and look where he is today.

Now, whereas, you could go back to your own monastery,

add a room or two, and here's your opportunity to live like a prince.

Or an opportunity to join your ancestors.

ALISDAIR: The point is,

Raymond here will be able to take over the company during probate,

and turn the company over to us in the event of your, um...

untimely death.

Do I make myself clear?

Maybe the boy needs a little lesson in cooperation.

All right, hold it right there.

- Come on. - [COCKS GUN]

Look... give me a few minutes alone with the kid.

I think I can convince him that your offer is more than fair.

Nobody has to get hurt.

Five minutes.

You just bought us five minutes.

You're catching on fast.

[BRICK SHATTERS]

[RUMBLING]

All right, come on.

Stand back.

Let's go.

[DOOR CREAKING]

What is this place, MacGyver?

Looks like an old opium lab.

[WATER RUNNING]

It's a dead end, any way you look at it.

Well, what are we gonna do?

I don't know yet.

It's great!

All right, we're gonna need a lot of that paper.

Start cutting it off in four-foot pieces.

What exactly are we doing?

We're gonna try and disappear.

Here. Tape it together with that.

ALISDAIR: This is a stupid delay, MacGyver.

Get some flashlights.

Guard the door.

[CLATTERING]

That's the idea.

We need one more of those.

And two longer ones for cross braces.

Where are they?

All right, finish up there and get these edges up here.

Here.

The dirt is disturbed.

There must be a door here.

What?

[TAPPING]

Wait. Wait.

[RUMBLING]

Get the braces under there.

[KICKS DOOR]

Locked.

Well, unlock it.

Stand back.

- What? - Hmm?

[GUN FIRING]

RAYMOND: There must be another way out.

No, they're here somewhere.

ALISDAIR: They must be here.

They can't just disappear into thin air.

[WATER RUNNING]

Here, look.

MacGYVER: Now!

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOT]

[COUGHING]

[ALISDAIR COUGHS]

We make a great team, MacGyver.

So... what do you think?

It looks good, it's perfect.

Well, I don't know if perfect's quite the word for it.

Well what's wrong? I-It fits fine.

He's wearing a tie.

Well, what's wrong with a tie?

It's a tie.

Come on, what do you really think?

Oh.

THORNTON: Now, Luke, remember,

the Phoenix Foundation is the official trustee,

and we are going to leave a few people here

to help you run things for a while,

but, as far as we're concerned,

Jade Dragon Shipping is all yours.

Think you're up to it?

I'll simply do what I think is right.

THORNTON: Well, it may not be that easy.

Running a big company can be a complex thing.

I've already learned so much.

Especially from you, MacGyver.

Yeah? What have you learned?

I've learned...

that I've got a lot to learn.
