People usually go to a junkyard looking for a bargain.

I did.

When I got my first set of wheels, it went kind of flat.

I spent a lot of time in hook cap heaven piecing together that first car.

So would anybody else looking for a real bargain.

like a matched set of top-secret Pentagon missile launch codes.

Force missiles come in all kinds, sizes, and shapes.

I've always been partial to round.

As long as you keep a grip on it, thanks.

The thing about a junkyard is, the treasure you find is liable to be

something another fellow lost.

Sometimes he wants it back.

Real bad.

Now, I've always got to start.

Or sometimes plans don't work out.

But you always know for sure when they hit you right in the... face.

Now you may find this hard to believe but there have been times when I've had

a lot more fun in the backseat of a car

I think the last thing I wanted to do before these guys left the party was to

find the nicest way I could to lift their spirit.

Yeah, it's MacGyver.

You know that diplomatic security case you guys put me on a while back?

Well, I got it.

And the boys who took it.

Yeah. Want to come pick them up?

I just did.

It's my humble opinion that old Alexander Graham Bell has a lot to

answer for.

Getting away from it all gets tougher and tougher.

Not just the newspapers, the telephone, the radio.

The people.

It's hard.

Maybe impossible.

Good morning, MacGyver.

Ever been to Burma?

You'll be going deep into wild country.

There's no government, no law.

Just two kinds of people.

Opium bandits and the local people they hold as slaves.

Sounds like you're sending me to a real nice neighborhood.

Nice, dangerous.

It's important.

Very.

I hear it's also sweaty and hot. Very.

No place to buy a condo. The cargo plane hit hard.

Pieces scattered all over the jungle.

Main thing is we lost a canister. Toxic.

Enough heavy-duty poison to destroy a thousand acres of plant life.

Animals and people.

And you'd kind of like to have that.

Get it if you can.

Destroy it if you have to.

We'll have a pickup chopper come for you 24 hours after you drop in.

Don't be late, MacGyver.

I won't be back.

Ah, shucks.

I guess this means I won't have time to do any shopping.

Flavor is just a word, something out of ancient history.

Until you see it, get a close look at human beings treated like animals.

Oh, Grandfather!

Is there trouble, sir?

You told me you could get your people to work hard.

Harvest the opium.

This one can't even walk.

I'm all right.

Please.

Come, grandfather.

I can walk.

I just helped you out with a little jam. Is that any way to thank me?

That's gratitude.

Nice guy.

Who are you?

Name's MacGyver.

Can. Good to meet you.

I apologize.

No problem.

Now, you want to tell me where you got the hat?

I will show you.

Who's that guy that's chasing you?

He's Twang.

General and the right dog.

He in charge of forced labor for the poppy field?

Yes. Who's Narai, boss?

They say General Narai is not human.

They say he drinks blood.

This is where I find my red hat, MacGyver.

Of course.

It was in canisters gone.

I think I was not going to be too happy.

Lucky boy, I don't have time to punish you now.

He hurt you? Who is that?

I know who you are

and what you are doing here.

So do not lie.

French?

English?

American.

I'll take your pick.

Wherever you come from, I know what you are.

Narcotics agent.

What? Your kind have been in our area before.

I know.

The general is coming.

Get everything ready.

The storeroom. He will want to see the opium.

His guns. Make sure his guns are ready.

Move!

Move!

Long time ago, my cousin Allie got a dog from a pound.

Part Airedale, part Spaniel. Real cute.

But she'd been beaten.

All that puppy knew how to do was cower, cringe away from you, expecting to be

hit.

It's a real ugly thing to see in a dog.

It's even worse in a human being.

This is something I did not expect.

Who are you?

Name's MacGyver.

And I'll just bet you're General Narai.

That's a nice landing, General.

A little flashy, but effective.

He's a narcotics agent.

I made him speak.

The poppies.

Only half the harvest is complete.

You radio about a darn American airplane with weapons.

A helicopter will become a gunship.

A powerful weapon.

Load them.

You wish to tell me the real reason you're here?

Tourist?

I like a sense of humor.

Shows spirit.

Five days and my caravan will come here to pick up the opium.

Finish the harvest.

And if you're not ready... They're slow.

Too many old men and women.

Lazy children.

They're stubborn.

Hesman!

Are your people slow?

Stubborn?

I've told them, General. I've warned them you'd be angry.

I care for you.

give you protection, food, shelter.

But as children are responsible to their father, you must not disappoint

me, hurt me.

If I suffer, you will suffer.

We will bring in the crops, I promise. Good.

Just to remind all of you.

How important this is.

I will give you an example.

Take our narcotics agent out at the head of the trail.

No food, no water.

Every morning you go to work, every evening you come back.

You can watch him die.

He will inspire you to work.

I will return in five days.

And with luck, you may live the entire five days.

But I doubt it.

My mom used to make a great broiled chicken.

One of my favorites.

Funny. I'm starting to feel real sympathetic towards them chickens.

My sister.

Hi.

Chen has told me how you helped him. We're very grateful.

You're very welcome.

If you wanted to cut me loose, I bet we could call it even.

I'm sorry.

I can't.

If we help you escape, Narai will kill many of our people.

MacGyver, you don't know Narai.

He has burned entire villages.

and massacred many people because he refused to harvest his opium puppies.

He's very rich and powerful.

We have no way to fight him.

I would fight.

I bet you would, champ.

Been wondering when somebody'd show up.

Getting some good raids here.

You must work faster!

Faster!

Work faster, Ming, you lazy boy! We only have four days left to harvest!

Don't look back from guardhouse.

We're MacGyver, or you will die out there.

and we lead low.

For a second I thought you were a truly stupid boy.

Are you?

Are you a stupid boy?

When I was a kid, one of the big events of the country fair was watching a lot

of optimists trying to catch a greased pig.

It was a lot of fun.

It sure keeps the crowd occupied.

The airplane tire should serve nicely as a delayed fuse.

And a little air pumped into the life jacket.

The boat inflates.

Hopefully.

Signal flare pop.

And we get the big bang.

I guess that's it then.

Now you're free?

No. Tron will reach General Narai's convoy. They will return very soon.

You... You have destroyed us all!

MacGyver, maybe you can teach us how to use these guns.

No, I don't think so.

It takes a couple of weeks or so to train a soldier how to use a rifle.

We need no training. We need you to leave now, before it gets worse.

So go, just go.

Is that the way all of you feel?

If we cannot find our souls, we do not deserve our lives.

Thank you for what you have done, MacGyver.

You need not thank him.

Just pray that Narai does not kill us all.

You know, I think you folks ought to decide which way you're going to go now.

I promised a man I'd do a job for him. That's what I got to do.

I got a chopper to meet.

And we'll be all right.

When General Narai comes back, we will apologize.

We will beg him to forgive us.

4 to 2, 23 Alpha.

Looks like MacGyver's got the goods.

He's a big guy.

I don't know him anywhere.

I was a hunter.

I have been a farmer.

Now I'm a slave. You are alive.

And Narai's win.

Ming is right.

Narai controls our life and everything else.

This is a useless conversation.

We have no means to fight. And your great hope, MacGyver, has gone.

Grandfather!

I finished the job I was sent here to do. What have you all decided?

Are you going to keep peeling poppies, or are we going to give this fashion

plate Narai a run for his money?

Teach me to be a soldier, MacGyver.

You are fools!

All of you!

You will suffer!

Narai will kill you!

Listen, folks, I don't think we have much more than a few hours before old

True Wang spreads the good news.

He said we cannot learn to shoot in time.

How do we fight?

Oh, I've got a couple ideas.

A little higher.

That's good.

That is to be seen.

Excellent.

Yes, yes, yes. Here.

Take this up to the ridge.

Signal us as soon as you see the convoy.

It isn't the right!

Checking this out. Heading north.

Yes. Heading north. The process is open.

I thought they'd keep them busy for a while.

Truang should reach that conduit.

Now this is how you cut the bandits down to size.

Teamwork.

The women and children are cooking up a bamboo buffet.

A giant wooden flute filled with fire ash and rice alcohol.

Guaranteed to bring tears to the eye.

How's it going?

Fine, except for the guns. I set traps like this when I was a boy.

That's why you're in charge.

You have given Ming a chance to become a man.

I can see the change in him.

From a slave to a leader.

Okay.

Is it deep enough?

Perfect. Perfect.

But you can see it, though.

That's what makes it perfect.

Good morning's work.

My people did a good job.

The signal.

All right.

I don't think we've got more than an hour before Chuang and his goons get

here. What should we do now?

Get some food.

First we eat, then we fight.

We'll be right back.

It seems only fair to warn you that these folks don't want you guys back

here. So if you just want to turn around and go back to wherever you came from,

these folks won't hold a grudge.

But I gotta warn you, if you keep on coming, you're liable to have a battle

on your hands.

So what do you say?

These guys are just spoiling for a fight.

Let's move!

Herpetologists will tell you everyone has an inner fear of snakes.

No! Including herpetologists.

Yeah!

Are you afraid of snake, MacGyver?

No.

I just don't like being around it.

Now,

you

take your psychologist.

They'll tell you when someone thinks they have you all figured out.

That's when they're the most vulnerable.

When it comes to Truang,

He doesn't know an ass from a hole in the ground.

Come

on,

Truang, it can only get worse.

What do we call it today?

He's only trying to bait us.

We go to the village first.

Then MacGyver.

And of course the archaeologist tells us the wheel is man's greatest invention.

I thought we'd blow the air out of that one.

Gentlemen, you're in time for the buffet.

Our short order cook just turned on the gas.

I don't know.

Thank you.

Now we are free.

Yeah.
