Thank you.

Sometimes, when they're after you, when
you're just about surrounded,

you realize just how seriously North

African kids take soccer.

My guy, now you let him steal that ball.

No way.

They just play better soccer than I do.

Oh, after the way you've coaxed them, I
don't doubt it.

It is so wonderful to hear music again.

Thank you.

Oh, you bet.

Just needed a couple of adjustments.

That earthquake kind of knocked it out
of whack, but it's a good organ.

And you are a good man, but a sneaky
sucker player.

Right here.

It's a little surprise.

Well, we are deeply grateful for all the
messes you brought, but what is this?

Oh, it's a secret surprise.

Oh, my God.

Sarah!

Here, let me help you. Thank you.

It's the clothing, I promise.

Wonderful. Oh, you are a blessing, both
of you.

MacGyver, this is Sarah Ashford.

How do you do?

I have told her all about you. Not
everything.

Well, she seems to know more than I do.

Nothing discreditable, I assure you.

Mac, Sarah needs a favor.

Be nice to her, huh?

At your orders, sister.

Thank you.

Well, we can't disobey the Mother
Superior.

What can I do for you, Miss Ashford?

I'd like you to break my brother out of
prison here.

Brian is the only brother I've got.

He's a medical missionary.

All he wanted to do was help.

He's an Hirosh prisoner.

Accused, tried, and sentenced for trying
to save human life.

Well, like the man said, no good deed
goes unpunished.

Sarah, what were the charges against
him?

Well, after the earthquake, he brought
in a very valuable shipment of relief

supplies.

Valuable? Worth enough money for someone
to show some interest?

Yes, exactly.

The government of this benighted country
tried to confiscate the supplies, so

Brian hid them.

Well, I think it's about time we got him
out.

He's in a maximum security military
prison.

Kind of makes it interesting, doesn't
it?

No, not that.

No, no, basta.

You sure you can get word to your
brother?

This is as simple to arrange.

All one needs is enough bribe money.

The only thing you can't buy at Haroche
is a man's freedom.

All right, then you arrange for the
cars.

And as soon as I get in and get the lay
of the land, I'll signal you.

I'll be watching.

You know, I'm beginning to believe it
might be possible.

Mac, you'll be running a horrible risk.

I know I asked, but you were just a name
then, not a man I like.

Well, it's too late now, Sarah. I've got
my orders.

What about the rest of the plan?

Well, I can't figure that out until I
get inside.

But it's a nice thing about this
country. They make it real easy to get

into prison.

What are you going to do?

Just wait for my signal.

All right,

guys.

Two points, takedown. Cops beat
peasants.

Oh, that's what I like to see.

Tax dollars at work.

Yeah.

Listen, guys.

For a job, well done.

I'd like to buy you a drink.

Hope Soty Pop will do for you.

Oh, shit!

Understand you assaulted two police
officers, MacGyver.

Ah, it seemed like a good idea at the
time.

They were leaning pretty heavy on a
peddler out there.

Do you still think it's a good idea?

Well, they left him and beat on me, if
that's what you mean.

Oh, I'll explain precisely what I mean.

You are no longer an American, a
privileged, or a Westerner. You are

garbage. You are a convict. You see,
here we have, through democracy,

All are equal in the dirt.

The intelligent rise and the stupid
remain in the dirt. Or are buried there.

Clear?

Buried.

You have no money. I suggest you find
some.

Otherwise, you'll have neither shelter
nor food.

What, you don't feed us in here?

Of course.

At reasonable prices.

Uh-huh.

So how do I come about this money?

Earn it.

Beg it.

Find yourself a protector.

As of now, your survival is your
responsibility, American.

Will you take him away?

Relax. He gave that same speech to every
foreigner who comes in here.

It's only 80% true.

That's comforting.

Did you really assault...

Two police over a street peddler?

Over an old man who was being beaten
without reason.

Noble.

But foolish, wouldn't you say?

Yeah.

But it sure felt great.

I'm sure it did, my friend.

I'm Francois Villard.

MacGyver. Call me Mac.

Attention.

Attention.

Hafez bin Ahmed, report to my office.

Hafez bin Ahmed, come to the
commandant's office at once.

Who lives here?

Khan.

Don't stare. Khan doesn't like it.

Well? Which one's Khan? The man with the
bald head.

He runs the prison. And Fuad is his dog.

That overweight enforcer he's got?

Fuad killed five men with his bare
hands.

Two of them inside the prison.

Ah.

Interesting.

You want him?

Not yet.

Ask around.

See if anyone knows something about him.

Only three sorts of Americans end up
here.

Drug dealers, soldiers of fortune, or
madmen.

I want to know which.

So as I can use him or get rid of him.

I'll make coffee. You take the top bunk.

You're doing me a considerable favor,
Francois.

MacGyver, you're American.

I am... was French.

Different nations, different cultures.
We're both foreigners.

We can at least talk together.

Consider, we shall have ample time for
conversation.

Now, with all due respect, Francois, I
don't plan to be here that long.

Escape?

Every new man talks about escape.

Nobody succeeds.

Well, maybe it's about time I expanded
the realm of possibilities around here.

You play soccer?

Badly. Is that olive oil?

Don't tell me an American is interested
in cuisine.

Actually, I'm not.

What if I borrow this? Be my guest.

You can look, but you can't touch.

That little tint of blue which prisoners
call God.

You may be right, Francois, but they can
only lock me up.

Not my mind.

That guy, what are you doing?

A little experiment.

What sort of experiment?

Francois, the first men to fly over
Paris were French.

The Montgolfier brothers?

Of course.

The first had a balloon.

Mon Dieu, merveilleux.

Thank you very much.

You are sending a signal.

Outside contact.

I'm starting to see the beginnings of a
very good plan.

Yeah, it's kind of put together on the
cuff.

But it just might work.

You want to come along?

Yes.

But no.

I have been here five years, mon ami,
for the crime of not bribing a judge.

I have a wife, five children, and six
more months to go.

I understand.

But I will help you.

No.

No, you shouldn't jeopardize everything
this close to release.

It's not worth the risk.

MacGyver, the great risk in this ugly
little prison world is

that we forget to be human.

We forget we have pride, feelings,
courage.

I would like to remember those things.

And besides, how can one not help a
maniac?

Who assaults two policemen in the name
of justice.

Thank you.

First thing I have to do is contact a
prisoner by the name of Brian Ashford.

He's a political.

That's a special way.

Heavy security, extra guards, every cell
buttoned.

Yo!

Tom wants to see you.

Oh, yeah?

What?

No!

Not yet.

has it, you run the joint.

Pays.

What? Pays.

Speakers are out of pays.

Can I have a borrow of this?

You know what you're doing.

Well, I sure hope so.

You interest me, American.

Soldier of fortune?

Political?

No, I know.

Drug dealer.

Smuggler. A man motivated by intelligent
greed.

There. Think that's got it?

Very good.

Thanks.

You know, it wouldn't be much harder to
fix that refrigerator in your PCP lab.

It's awfully noisy.

It's not efficient.

You seem to be very well informed,
MacGyver.

Yeah, well, the word on the yard is you
deal drugs.

The easiest one to manufacture is PCP. I
saw the vent outside and heard the

noises in here. Pieces all seem to fit.

Very impressive.

Thanks. There's one piece that doesn't
fit, though.

The last thing management needs around
here is a prison full of dust heads

busting up the place.

I make it in here, but I sell it on the
outside.

Well, there you are. If it's a business,
why not make it more efficient?

Less risk, better quality stuff.

Efficient. You know the process?

You bet.

Could double your output.

My formula.

What do you want in return?

Half an hour with Brian Ashford in
private.

He's in security. I know. But what is
your business with him?

It's private.

I could have fought, ask you.

Yeah, you sure could.

But it'd be kind of tough for me to fix
up your PCP lab if I was dead.

I think we have an understanding, my
guy.

Good.

Well, we had an understanding, all
right.

I think Con figured me for a sucker.

And I knew the Commandant had every cell
bugged.

So I guess my plan was working.

James MacGyver.

Yes. I was told to expect you.

Frankly, I'm surprised you got this far.

Well, we're going to go a lot further
than this, Brian.

I'm going to get you out of here.

Oh? How?

Working on that.

With your sister, as a matter of fact.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Well, I'm grateful.

Frankly, you've taken a terrible risk.
Well, I don't know.

Sarah told me about all the work you do
with kids.

How can I help you?

Well, first of all, you can tell me
about the security system around here.

How many locks, who has keys, when the
guards change shift, and

especially the night security.

Most importantly, when we fly the Huey
Choppers in here, can you

still handle a 30 millimeter?

Definitely, yeah.

So, it's an aerial assault, is it then?

Yeah, for the most part.

Your sister tells me you stashed $10
million before you were busted.

Actually, it was $12. Ah, well, then you
can see you're well worth the effort for

us. My people are willing to use
gunships to free you.

Well, that's remarkable.

I'm delighted you're handling this.

It's good to meet you, too.

But I must admit, you're not quite what
I expected in a medical missionary.

Oh, I'll never be taken in by surface
appearances.

Actually, I raised a little hell before
I came to believe in heaven.

Ah, good.

And every now and then they got minor
miracles.

Well, I'm not sure I can provide that,
but I'll definitely get you out of here.

Well, I pray that you're right.

May God be with you.

As I said, Excellency, he's not what he
seems.

And you were correct.

You want MacGyver removed?

No.

Soldier of fortune.

Helicopter. Twelve million American
dollars.

Now I want to know every possible thing.

Everything.

And then?

And then, you kill him.

Tell me about your visit

to the political security section.

Well, I just wanted to prepare my friend
for the breakout.

With Khan's help?

McGyver, Khan will sell you down for a
second cup of coffee. Yeah?

Well, I sure wish you'd consider coming
with us. The water's fine.

I'll miss you, my friend.

Well, that sounds like you think I'm
going to make it.

I have my doubts.

But some men aren't designed to be
caged.

And besides, I have forgotten how good
it is to have a friend.

To help a friend.

Thank you, Francois.

So, what can I do?

Well, I know you can get into the
Commandant's office, but do you know how

to run the P.A. system here?

MacGyver, your wife is here.

Oh, yeah?

So, how's she looking?

Very beautiful.

Darling.

Yeah.

He's quite a guy.

How'd you arrange this so fast?

I told you.

Bribery works wonders in here.

Oh, have I missed you.

I missed you, too. At least we have
tonight.

Tell me about this lawyer you've got.

Lawyer? Of course. But can't we talk
about that later?

Are you positive?

Would I tell you I loved you if I
didn't?

Meg, I didn't realize how much I missed
you.

There's a breakaway!

Shoot! Break!

All in the footwork, big guy.

Hey, just go in.

You bet.

How you doing?

Pleasant night?

Yeah, it wasn't bad.

Not much privacy around here, though.

We're very close-knit community.

I've kind of noticed that.

So, uh, how's the stereo working?

It's fine.

This way.

Yeah, you know, I figure we can triple
your output.

All you need is a couple adjustments on
this thing.

Fix it.

By the way, how was your visit with
Brian Ashford?

Oh, it's great.

It's just wonderful.

Very interesting. He's an old pal, you
know.

Really?

It's very fortunate for you to find an
old friend in this unlikely place.

Yeah.

You're a lucky man, my guy.

Nothing on MacGyver, nothing.

Oh.

Don't be stupid. That means he is a
professional.

He is obviously moving on his plan to
break Ashford out.

That is why I had to tell you.

You had to tell me because otherwise I
would have you gutted and strung out in

the sun.

Why do you talk to me like that?

Perhaps to remind you of what you are.

Or what I am.

Can't take chances.

I'll have Minn Station on the roof.

You stay with MacGyver.

Thank you, Excellency.

The one useful thing about PCP is it
explodes.

Add a volatile liquid, and you've got a
bomb you can wear anyplace.

Attention, this is the Commandant
speaking.

Lieutenant NASA, report to the guard
post immediately.

All prisoners' privileges are hereby
suspended.

Prisoners are restricted to the main
compound.

There will be no exceptions.

Guard units 5, 6, and 8, draw automatic
weapons, extra ammunition, and take

position.

Units 2, 3, and 7, report to the room at
once.

This is a full alert.

Well, the Commandant ought to be getting
ready for those imaginary choppers.

I hate to disappoint a friend, so I
gotta create a little excitement.

The problem isn't how to blow up the
PCP. The problem is timing it.

Just right.

Any spark will do it.

All you need is an electrical circuit
that'll close when you want it to.

Which better happen when you're out of
the room.

Now, the thing about ice.

At a given temperature, it'll melt at a
given rate.

Just about as good as a clock.

Especially if you don't have a clock.

I brought you something.

You would like it.

Ha!

I'll be sorry to see you go.

I'll miss you too.

Or else I'd leave today.

No one.

Be alert.

The attack could come at any moment.

What about the prisoners, sir?

Lieutenant, the only threat is from the
air.

Hey, how you doing, sunshine?

Listen, I'm all finished in here. It's
running like a Swiss watch.

So I guess I'm gone, huh?

Don't hit.

Not quite.

I think it's time all the secrets were
out.

Fact.

Brian Ashford has worked a great deal of
money.

Twelve million.

Now I want some details.

Who's paying you?

How much?

And how did you plan to break him out?

Yeah, all right.

You're right about the 12 million.

I contracted to get them out of here for
10%. Why don't you help me out? We'll

split it.

You expect me to simply trust you?

Who hired you?

We did a plan to take Asheville.

Details.

I've got the number of the Swiss safety
deposit box.

I've got the map and the box numbers
stashed across the way.

Come on.

I'll give you all the names.

what do you know?

Book, wine, and sinker.

Commandant's plan was working just fine.

If his was working, so was mine.

Mr. Velars, didn't you tell me you could
trade this for some food?

I will try.

Is it in good shape?

You bet. Good.

Let's go.

Move it, Mom.

Flood, you are one miserable son of a
diseased camel.

Guys, this is where it is.

No one ever thinks to bury anything
under a fire.

Can I borrow your knife?

To dig.

Thank you.

Had my clock sticking inside the PCP lab

And

in the Commandant's office

Hey, what's that?

I'm selling him a jacket.

You don't have enough heat in these
cells.

Yeah, too bad.

Light the left pocket and get clear.

The pocket?

Exactly. At when?

Hey, hurry up. Come on.

Thank you.

Don't thank me.

You paid for it.

We are coming from the northeast, from
behind the clouds over.

Sound the alarm.

Hurry!

Well,

that's it.

Let's go!

Quick! Let go!

You moron!

Half of my men are still up there!

Where is MacGyver?

I don't know.

I thought...

Everything I have is gone.

Oh, no.

For the rest of your sentence, you will
have total and undisputed possession of

an isolation cell.

Take them away.

I will kill you.

Well, then the pursuit stops here.

That's a bloody marvelous roadblock.

I think we can dispense with MacGyver
now.

I'm sorry, Mac.

What for?

I'm not the all-American girl you met at
the orphanage.

Oh.

I get it.

And he's not your brother, and he's not
a medical missionary.

And I've got egg all over my face.

A blind faith tends to do that to people
now, doesn't it? I think it was Sister

Anne's confidence in Sarah that fooled
me.

So, what is it?

Heroin? Coke? What?

No. Just duty.

I'm a representative of the Soviet
government.

My job is to deliver weapons to our
allies in the Third World.

Oh, that's terrific.

Not milk or medicine, but explosive
guns.

Congratulations. Is old Brian a Russian,
too?

No. He's a crooked arms dealer who stole
the weapons from me to sell on the black

market. But he ended up in Haroge Prison
before he could make the delivery.

Yeah, so the deal was I get him out and
you get the guns back, right? Look, must

we have all these modern little
revelations? Just kill him and get it

over with before the gendarmes show up.
If I were to kill anybody, it'd be you.

He's a decent human being.

You? are a miserable thief.

All I want from you now are the arms
you've hidden.

Have it your way.

But if it were me, I'd kill him.

You're a sweetheart, Brian.

Thanks.

Nothing personal.

Everything's personal.

Let me tell you something, comrade.

I've never hit a woman before, but you
come darn close.

I don't blame you, Mac.

But I'll sure give you credit.

You sold me a great story.

I had to get those weapons back, or
Brian would sell them to terrorists.

You trying to tell me you give a damn if
those weapons are used on civilians,

kids?

Yes, I do.

You have any idea where the weapons
might be?

They have to be somewhere in the harbor
area.

So we find Brian's car, we find the
weapons.

Unless you're setting me up again.

Look, Mac, I'm sorry about that. I
really am.

For what?

Because of me?

Or because Brian double-crossed you
again? He's good at that, have you

noticed? I wish to point out to you,
MacGyver, the only reason he tricked me

was because I stopped him from blowing
your head off.

Point to you, Sarah.

Well, I'll give you another.

I could have left you behind at the
prison. I did...

Now that

Brian is on the loose, he'll sell that
armed shipment.

And he'll be out of the country by
tonight.

Mac, we both have a reason to get those
weapons back.

All right.

I'll play.

With one condition.

If and when we find the weapons, we
destroy them. Blow them sky high.

I agree, Mac.

All right.

There's the car.

Bingo.

So, gentlemen, what do you think? Is
this what I promised or what?

Yes. Now, let us discuss price.

Good.

Hard currency. And as we agreed, you
take the entire shipment.

Ah, but some of these weapons are quite
old.

Antique. They still kill people.

And I presume that's what you want.

Go get the car.

You're the keys.

Because life is uncertain.

Fine.

And I'm speaking for myself.

Which brings us, I believe, back to
business.

Do you have the cash?

We are prepared to offer you very
attractive terms.

All right.

It's off the money now or no go.

Be careful, you idiot. Those are
grenades you're playing with.

Brother Brian wasn't giving away any
bargains.

Some of this stuff probably dated from
the Boer War.

The grenades still used gunpowder.

which was a plus, because I could use it
to lay a powder train, sort of an off

-the-cuff, on-the-floor type fuse.

Light it, and it'd burn right to the
rest of the grenade, under a truck full

of weapons.

Fingers there.

It's wonderful. It's a marvel. Now, how
on earth will we ever thank you?

There's something that we would like to
ask you.

That you take this off our hands.

Oh, no, no. I can't accept this.

It's too much. Well, we figure you've
got an awful lot of kids to feed and

care for. And what better use for money?

But, MacGyver, how?

Oh, I don't know.

Call it a small miracle.

Oh, thank you.
