All language subtitles for MacGyver 1985 - 2x07 - The Road Not Taken.DVDRip.MEDiEVAL.en

We just crossed the border.

The pilot said we just left Thailand.

He's not a happy guy.

I don't blame him.

The situation is worse
than when we left home, Mac.

This new regime has started
to eliminate disruptive elements,

and the orphanage is sitting
right in the middle of the worst of it.

They won't be safe
until we get them out.

I know seeing Debra again
isn't going to be easy for you.

Yeah, it's been a while.

- How about you and Sister Margaret?
- Last time I saw Margaret,

she was being chased across the
Sahara with 1 5 children and a goat.

Sister Margaret. Sister Margaret.
Soldiers coming for you and Debra.

Chanthara's men, they come for you.
I saw them on the road.

Take the children.
You must go now.

Children, come with me. Hurry.

- Debra, get the children together.
- This way, come on.

Quickly, we're going inside now.

I can't get any closer
to the orphanage.

They have patrols around.
They'll hear the chopper.

Pick us up at the clearing half a mile
east of the orphanage in two hours.

- Debra, hurry.
- Coming, Sister.

This way.

Hurry up. Follow her. Here we go.

All right, there we go.

- Thank you.
- Up you go.

Mac, I have just one question
about rappelling:

What do you do if the line breaks?

You fall.

Watch your step.
Now, hold on tight, but hurry.

Don't be frightened. Keep moving.

Here, I've got you.

Now, wait for me in the tunnel.
Be careful. Kahn, it's your turn.

No, Sister. I will stay here and talk
to the soldiers until you get away.

Kahn, you've been like family to us.

You know what that means
to Chanthara.

What can he do to me?

I'm old.

We must make sure
the children are safe.

God bless you.

Not rushing you, am l?

Listen, I may get there slower, Mac,
but I get there.

Did I ever tell you the--?

Pete, let's go!

- Everybody out!
- Let's go.

- Where are the American women?
- Gone. Across the border.

I admire your loyalty,
but I know they're here.

They have spread lies
about our government.

You have no respect.

Sister Margaret is a woman of God.

Our people are oppressed.

You sin against the Saviour if you--

Look inside. Search the area.

I've always liked
being close to nature.

Yeah, me too.

All right, children, I want each one
of you to take a blanket now.

We'll stay here until we're safe.

Sister, we have to get to the border.

- We'll wait until tonight.
- No, we have to go now.

It's too dangerous for them.

What if Chanthara's men
are out there?

What if they find the tunnel?

- Stay with them.
- No.

I'll go find us a way across.

Don't worry.

I was a sprinter in high school.

I'll be back in a flash.

You're cold. Here.

Yes.

You doing all right?

The orphanage has gotta be
this way.

Can't be more
than a couple hundred--

Pete.

You're kneeling on my hand.

- Debra.
- MacGyver.

Oh, God.

I don't believe it.

What are you doing here?

We'll explain later.
Where is Sister Margaret?

Back at the cave. This way.

MacGyver, by the time you read this,
I'll be gone.

Please understand that leaving you

was the hardest decision
I ever had to make.

But it was one that had to be made.

I'll always remember you.

And I'll always love the memory
of what we had together.

Debra.

Aren't you just a little hungry?

Here, now just a little bit.
Oh, come on.

That's a good girl.

Want a little more?

Sister Margaret?

Peter.

Peter Thornton.

Well, you always said
I had a standing invitation.

Oh, thank God you're here.

Hello, Maggie. You look wonderful.

You're not looking so bad yourself.

Hey, listen, I'm sorry about
that tackle out there.

The second time I've fallen for you.

Your hair's longer than it used to be.

Yours is shorter. I like it.

Yeah?

Well, this is like old times.

Getting you out of trouble.

We've got a chopper coming
in about an hour,

but until then,
we should stay where we are.

You know, you've got
some very unfriendly people out there.

- Where does this tunnel go?
- Back to the orphanage.

There's a secret entrance.

Yeah, well, secrets have
a funny way of getting out.

Excuse me.

Hi, how you doing?

Like to make a little deal with you.
A little trade, actually.

You give me that ball,
and I'll get you a brand-new one.

But you're gonna have to trust me.
I'm gonna have to owe you.

What do you say?

Yeah? Good man, good man.

Now, I'm gonna need
some empty cans, some fuel,

a noisemaker
and some form of grease.

Animal fat will do.
Open that, will you, Pete?

- What's he doing?
- I haven't got a clue...

...but I'm used to it.

Still doing it, huh?
Making things out of thin air?

What is it this time?

I'm gonna use the string in this ball as
part of our alarm system and a fuse.

A fuse? We don't have
any explosive.

But the guys out there
don't know that.

And what they don't know
can only help us.

But they are women,
and only two of them.

They are Americans.
And they're on the death list.

If we lose such a prize,

provincial headquarters
will have us both shot.

No sign of them?

They haven't been seen
on the border roads.

They wouldn't risk the children's lives
by going through the jungle.

They must be here.

A lot of people
use electronic sensors

to let them know if they're
about to have uninvited guests.

But there are other ways to do it.

I remember tying a piece of string
between two tin cans.

The idea was if someone talked
into the can at one end,

I could hear what was being said
at the other.

I was kind of hoping
to do the same thing here...

... sort of.

I guess you could call it
simple communication.

If anybody came through this door,

I wanted to get the message
loud and clear on the other end.

Which is more than I ever got
playing Telephone.

- Here you go, Mac.
- Oh, thanks, Pete.

The animal fat in the meat
and some kerosene

is gonna make a great fuse.

Yeah.

So why'd these guys come after you?
What set them off?

The other day, Sister Margaret
saved one of the villagers

from being beaten to death
by Chanthara's soldiers.

She covered the man with her body.

And they stopped.

I guess that did it,
they decided to move against her.

But we heard you were both
on their hit list.

Well, you know me.

I've never been one
to sit on the sidelines.

Yeah.

If that moves, we move.

That's it. Let's get everybody
out to the clearing.

- All right. Children, come quickly.
- Come here.

Come on.

A bomb! Look out!

Clever.

Come on.

This way.

Hold on! Look out!

Debra!

Take off, Pete!

Mac!

- Bulgaria!
- Yes!

- Let's move. Are you all right?
- Yeah.

The man and woman.
Get them. Kill them!

Pete said "Bulgaria."
What did he mean?

That's an arrangement we've got.

He'll be back in the clearing
in eight hours.

If we miss him then,
it'll be 1 6 hours after that, and so on.

You mean, we've gotta get back
to that clearing at 6:00?

That's the idea.

- But Chanthara's got it blocked off.
- Yeah, that's the problem.

Is this thing gonna get us
to the refugee station?

- It's ten miles from the border.
- We took a hit.

Oil pressure's down near zero.

Sister, if you got a direct line
upstairs, put in a call.

All right, hold it.

Now, step backwards into the creek
using the same footprints.

Go ahead.

- What are we doing?
- An old Apache lndian trick.

Can't track anyone through water.

Think it'll work?

Well, it should.
Unless they've seen a lot of Westerns.

Come on.

There's the refugee camp.
We're gonna make it.

Thank God.

I got no feeling in my leg.

Can't work the pedals.
And there's a torque in the tail rudder.

What does that mean?

There's no way
to control the landing.

She's liable to hit the ground
wherever she wants.

Coming in!
Sister, hold on to those kids!

Hang on!

We need a doctor, a medic!

Hurry, come on.

- Here we go.
- Take cover behind the building!

Everybody out!
She could blow any second.

Come on. Here we go.

Peter!

Peter. Oh, it could have exploded.

Yeah, I know, Maggie,
but we need the chopper.

Without it, we can't get back
to Mac and Debbie.

Are you all right?

Well, our pilot was hit.
He went off with the medic.

Oh, you must be Mr. Thornton.

I am Gilbert Arnaud.

Your foundation told us
to expect you.

Unofficially, of course.

What's a Frenchman doing
running a refugee station out here?

I am a refugee myself,
of the old colonial days.

I will check on your pilot.

And I will be with the children.

- You know, this is all your fault.
- What are you talking about?

You're the one who put me in touch
with Sister Margaret.

Your letter caught up with me
in Kenya,

at that game preserve
where I was working.

Now, wait a minute.

Pete said Margaret needed help
in the orphanage,

and I thought the two of you would
hit it off. But I didn't think you'd stay.

Wait.

Our footprints are shallow.
Theirs are deeper.

As if they step in them twice.

They never crossed this creek.

Move.

Go, go, go.

Your pilot's leg wound is minor.
He will be fine.

Listen, we left two people behind
when we evacuated back there.

I've gotta return for them by 6:00.

Have you got anybody here who can
fix this chopper in four hours?

Oh, we have no one.

But I know a man at the refugee
station 20 kilometres from here.

- I will call him.
- All right.

Wait.

One thing I miss about the city,
no empty warehouses to hide in.

All right, we'll rest for a second.

Come here. Please?

See if we can make these guys
think we're someplace else.

So you're saying this man
is the only mechanic you have?

I understand.

The mechanic at the other station
has been sent to Bangkok.

- lsn't there anyone else you can call?
- Oh, Sister, please understand.

Our resources are so limited.

- We have no people who can just--
- I know. We do have people,

and they're stuck on the other side
of the border, in very serious trouble.

In three and a half hours, they
expect me to come back and get them.

And somehow I'm gonna do it.

I will continue to try.

One more of these saplings
ought to do it.

Grab those vines
on the other side of the log.

- Pull them together.
- You got it.

Here's another one.
Give them a yank.

- Is that tight enough?
- Yeah.

The more tension
we put on these vines,

the further away
those guys will think we are.

That ought to hold it for now.

I've never been able to figure out
how your mind works.

How do you think of these things?

Well, if it comes down
to me against a situation,

I don't like the situation to win.

How many more rocks do we need?

These ought to be enough
to get their attention.

They should fly about 1 00 feet
if we're lucky.

There. Now, we're gonna need
some kind of time-delay fuse.

Do you have anything
that will refract light?

A crystal? A prism of some kind?

We could try my rosary.

Sister Margaret gave it to me,

but seeing as this
is an emergency...

It's perfect.

Gotta make sure this coil
is wide enough

so it'll catch the sun
before it changes position,

be in the right spot
for a few minutes.

So the light
will go through the beads.

Right, and it'll be focused
on our small vine.

Kind of like a solar fuse.

We'd better go.

Three-thirty.

Two and a half hours
to get back to the clearing.

Bad luck, I'm afraid, mes amis.

There is not a qualified mechanic
within 200 kilometres.

How far across the border
are your friends?

Our orphanage is near
the village of Sonh Pra.

What about that old truck over there?
Would that get us there?

Oh, it is too dangerous.

It is too far. And besides,
that truck has not run in months.

That, as you Americans say,
is the line at the bottom.

Well...

...I guess we'll have to fix
the chopper ourselves.

What?

Maggie, how in the sam hill
are we gonna do that?

I'm good with broken-down machinery.
It's the only kind I've ever had.

Besides, what else is there to do?

Over there!

Rocks.

Don't you see what he's doing?

If rocks are landing around us,
they had to be thrown from there.

Move out!

Come on. Come on, come on.
Hurry, hurry.

Rosary beads.

This man is quite ingenious.

He wants us to think
he's going away from the bushes

where the rocks landed.
But he's going toward them.

You, go to the creek.
Watch for them.

You, circle around.
The rest, follow me.

You said he'd do that.

Yeah.

But something tells me this guy's got
brains he hasn't even started to use.

All right, it's 4:1 5.
If they keep moving,

we may have bought ourselves enough
time to get back to the clearing.

Let's go.

MacGyver,

if you weren't here right now,
where would you be?

Well, the big camel races
are in Morocco this time of year.

Come on.

Skating with the Rangers?

I'm serious.

All right. Come here.

We really had something.

I wanna know why you left.

You were gonna ask me
to get married.

- You knew that?
- Yeah.

Well, if you knew I was gonna ask you,
why didn't you say something?

I don't know. I...

I just wasn't ready to be married.

It was bad timing, Mac.

- Neither of us were ready.
- I was.

That was eight years ago.

- We're not the same people anymore.
- Sure we are.

I still like hockey.

And I'll just bet...

...that you still like pickles
dipped in cream cheese, don't you?

I thought I had stopped
thinking about you.

I was so wrong.

- I can't do this.
- What?

If they hadn't come after us,
I'd be getting ready to take my vows.

Your vows? What do you mean?

I'm going to be a nun.

We'd better get out of here.

- I heard gunfire.
- Yes. This way.

This is too small.
Give me the three-eighths.

What did you wrap
around that hose?

Oh, an Ace bandage
from the medical kit.

Screwdriver.

Well, I figured
that's what Mac would use.

You know, I wasn't surprised
when I saw you there today.

You always seem to show up
when I need you most.

Yeah.

Funny how we keep
bumping into each other, isn't it?

Every six or eight years.

All right, let's get the pilot

and see if we can get this thing
off the ground.

Come here.

Look.

How did they figure that out?

Maybe he has seen
a lot of Westerns.

Come on. We gotta go.

Come on. Come on.

The igniter's missing.

Engine won't fire up the fuel
without it.

It was there before.

- Wasn't it?
- It sure was.

Well, it's gone now.

He'll be here.

Let's just keep moving around
the edge of the clearing. Come on.

Halt!

I'm proud to have had
such worthy adversaries.

I almost regret that this game
is now over.

How did they know
we'd be at the clearing?

Kind of curious about that myself.

What do you think they'll do?

Well, they could give us
a lift to the border...

...but I wouldn't count on it.

Oh, yeah.

They must be using the orphanage
as a headquarters or something.

This used to be the old kitchen.

These are your crimes.

It's important the people know you're
not being punished without cause.

Hey, you spelled my name wrong.

It is a shame to waste
your sense of humour on me alone.

But tomorrow at high noon,

the entire village can witness
your final performance.

MacGyver.

"High noon"?

This guy's seen too many Westerns.

You know, there is something
very wrong with this whole place.

Well, we now have
till 1 0 tomorrow morning

to find that igniter
and get back to MacGyver.

I'll start looking in that supply area
by the chopper pad, okay?

Thanks a lot, Jimmy. Maggie, why
don't you look in the kids' barracks.

Whoever stole the thing
would never think we'd look there.

I'll go check the buildings
by the gate.

- Be careful.
- Be careful.

What are you doing now?

Well, the chimney's not big enough
for us to get out.

We're not gonna make it, are we?

What happened to all that faith?

I'm just a novice, remember?

Not with those kids, you're not.

At the convent they taught us
that wanting things, needing people...

...get in the way
of our serving God.

I want to serve him, but now...

- Now what?
- Everything was set, Mac.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do
with my life.

And now it is all upside-down.

I keep thinking that--
That maybe I want children of my own.

They tend to frown
on nuns doing that.

And...

...there are other feelings that
I thought I'd trained myself not to have.

What difference does it make?

We're not gonna
get out of here anyway.

Yes, we are.

And then you're gonna have
to decide what you really want.

I did decide.

I just didn't figure
on you showing up.

- That's no decision.
- Oh, Mac.

- I've gotta think.
- Don't think.

Feel.

It would never work with us.

- Why not?
- It just wouldn't.

- Give me a reason.
- You're always moving around.

- You never stay in one place.
- I wasn't the one who left, remember?

That was eight years ago.
I've changed.

So would l...

...for you.

I never thought
I'd hear that from you.

I never thought I'd say it.

Oh, my God. Guard! Please help!

Nice hit.

The Tigers could have
used you this year.

Hey, it's getting light.

Now we count on Pete.

Well, look at this.

The igniter.

Patch me through
to Captain Chanthara.

This is Gilbert Arnaud.

Chanthara? The American, Thornton,
is planning another rescue.

At the same clearing,
at 1 0:00 this morning.

I heard him talking to the nun.

No, no, no. The helicopter
has been sabotaged, but--

You have captured them?

Well, then you have accomplished
your mission, but with my help.

So you will now send me my money.

Merci, captain.

Looking for this?

Well, mon ami,

we'll just see
that you don't go anywhere.

Or make a peep.

But they've been captured.
You heard what Arnaud said.

I know, Maggie, but I've got
an agreement with Mac.

Now, I stood him up before.
I'm not gonna do that again.

The rest is up to him.

Nine-twenty.
Now, that gives me 40 minutes.

- I'm going too.
- Maggie, you're not going.

Listen, if anything should happen,
those kids need you.

Maggie, if anything does happen,
I want to say something.

If things had been different for us...

...we really would have been
something special.

In fact, if I had it to do over again,
there's a lot of things I'd change.

No.

You'd have done everything
just the same.

And so would l.

But it's lovely that you feel that way.

All right, let's get out of here!

What happened?

The Americans have gone
to the clearing. Alert the men.

Yes, sir.

That was easy.

I still--

I still don't understand
why you wanted to stay here.

Well, chances are,
Chanthara would catch us

if we went back to the clearing.

But if we don't go,
Pete will never find us.

Well, then it's up to us
to let him know where we are.

And we're gonna do that
with a little flare.

Chanthara took my knife.

Belt buckle's
the sharpest thing I've got.

Gonna cut off some of this wire
and make a saw.

And this bamboo leg here
is just what we need.

I'm not following this plan.

How's a piece of bamboo
gonna help us?

It's got a natural sealed cavity.

No sign of MacGyver anywhere.

How much time before
they're supposed to show up?

Seven minutes.

Good. Hang on to that.

- What's that stuff?
- Oh, it's just plain old fertilizer,

but it's got some chemicals in it
called nitrates.

And they pack a pretty good zip.

Wanna hand me
that wooden spoon back there?

Great.

Hold that right there.
This will give it a little stability.

- It's a rocket.
- Yeah.

Hopefully, in about ten minutes,
we'll have our own Fourth of July.

They must be here.
That is their plan.

Take cover.

And this funnel ought to make
a great nose cone.

- What do you think?
- Nice touch.

Thanks.

Arnaud was lying.

Fire on them.

I can't stay this low.
Ground fire will bring us down.

I can't see Mac.

I can't see anything.

There he is.

Jimmy! Up ahead!

Near the orphanage.

- The flare, it's MacGyver.
- Right.

I know I don't have to say this,

- but hang on.
- Okay.

Up! Take him up!

- You all right?
- Yeah. Just great.

The Thai authorities
took Arnaud into custody.

Margaret's gonna stay here
and run this place

until they bring up
a new administrator from Bangkok.

Well, that's great, Pete.

Excuse me.

Howdy.

Listen, I know I'm a day late,
but I wanna thank you for trusting me.

I owe you a new ball.

And you got any use for that?

Listen, l...

I booked you a seat
on the plane tomorrow.

You said I'd have to decide
what I really wanted.

I have.

Are you sure?

I've made a commitment.
Yeah, I'm sure.

You'll always be with me.

Well, Maggie,

I guess I'll see you
next time you're in trouble, huh?

I'll be looking forward to it.

Yeah.

Me too.

I'll never meet anyone like her.

I know exactly how you feel.
