(Telephone ringing)

Romburg's toys.
How may I help you?

MacGyver: Otto, it's MacGyver.

MacGyver. Where are you?

I'm in east Berlin at
stasi headquarters,

or what's left of them, anyway.

Listen, Otto, I've
got some good news.

You have found my granddaughter?

Well, not yet, but I've
found Maria's name

On a list of orphans
the stasi had on file.

I'm meeting with a guy later

who might have a
line on how to find her.

That is good news,
huh, but I was hoping...

Otto, if Maria's in east
Germany, I'll find her.

That's a promise.

I don't know how to
thank you, MacGyver.

I've been waiting 15 long
years for this moment.

Otto: I'll wait by the
phone. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

(Both speaking German)

(Guard yelling in German)

(Yelling in German)

(Speaking German)

(Groaning)

(Dogs barking)

(Maria shouting in German)

♪♪(Music playing)

(People chattering)

- Herr MacGyver?
- Yeah.

Rolf mossel. We
spoke on the telephone.

Yes, yes. Thank
you for meeting me.

Oh, a pleasure.

(Speaking German)

I have heard only good things

about your
foundation's work here.

Thank you very much. I understand
you're with the citizen freedom committee.

Correct. We work
mostly in the field

helping people
locate their relatives.

I personally handled your
inquiry about a Maria romburg.

How'd you do?

Uh, danke. Well,
you are in luck.

Certain files were looted when
the government was overthrown

And the people stormed
stasi headquarters.

This was amongst them.

Uh, yeah. My German's
a little weak. Would you...

Yeah. Yeah.

(Reading in German)

Maria romburg was
a ward of the state

from 1975 at the age of eight.

They educated her.

For the last two years, she
has been a teacher in leipzig.

Catch the morning train.

You can be there by noon.

Thank you.

(Children chattering)

(Speaking German)

(All giggling)

(Speaking German)

Hi. Um, sorry, I don't
mean to interrupt.

What is it you wish?

Well, my name is MacGyver.

Your grandfather sent
me. He's a friend of mine.

(Speaking German)

Why does my
grandfather send you?

Why does he not come himself?

His doctors
recommended against it.

I see.

And now that you've found
me, what exactly is it he wants?

To know that you're well.

I'm sure you can
tell him as much.

And to see you again.

Well, you can give my grandfather
a message for me, Mr. MacGyver.

You can tell him
that to me, he is dead.

Uh... excuse me, wait. Whoa.

Look,

I know it's been

a long time.

MacGyver: Can't you
at least think about it?

I've been thinking about it
since I was eight years old.

I can still see my father's
body on the barbed wire.

He died while my grandfather
ran to save his own life.

You were an 8-year-old child

who saw your father
and grandfather

betrayed by the stasi.

MacGyver: Your grandfather
had no choice but to run.

Maria,

He has never stopped
looking for you.

He loves you.

He wants you to live with him.

In america?

Yes.

The wall is down. You
both have choices now.

There's nothing to stop you
from being a family again.

No. Nothing but the
memory of a selfish old man

who would leave his son and
granddaughter to be executed

by the border guards.

Maria, I tried to explain
the circumstances...

No, Mr. MacGyver.

I want nothing to
do with him. I can't.

Okay.

Um...

This is from your grandfather.

Read it.

If you change your
mind before tomorrow,

My hotel number
is on the envelope.

I have to go. The children.

(Speaking German)

Looking for someone?

Huh?

(Speaking German)

You took my picture.
Mein foto. Why?

(Groaning)

(In English) So, your photo.

(Groaning)

(Both grunting)

(Groaning)

(Car tires screeching)

You know, high tech
equipment like this

makes you think
the wall is still up.

There must be thousands
of out-of-work stasi agents

wandering around the country
with nothing better to do.

Then again, maybe our new
government still can't resist

the need to watch you Americans.

I'm sorry if things did
not go well with the girl.

Yeah. You know, I
can't help thinking

that maybe I
should stick around,

maybe talk to her again.

(Scoffs) Mr. MacGyver,
you found her,

You gave her the letter
from her grandfather.

What more could you do?

MacGyver!

(Panting)

I think I would like
to change my mind,

if that is all right.

Uh, of course. Yeah.

Mr. Mossel, this is Maria.

Ahh.

Mr. Mossel's organization
helped us find you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

After the way I treated you,
you think I am crazy, yes?

No.

I think you needed
time, that's all.

I read my grandfather's letter.

He sounded so
lonely. So heartsick.

You were right, MacGyver.

The wall is down.

I have the freedom
to decide for myself.

And when I see my grandfather,
I will know for sure, yes?

This is what makes
my job so worthwhile.

So, now what? Papers? Visas?

No, that's all
been taken care of.

Let's just go see

your grandpa, huh?

Thank you.

My pleasure.

Your plan seems to
be working, Huber, huh?

In a few days, the gold
will be in our hands.

(Chuckling)

Maria: Do you think
he'll recognize me?

It's been so long. Maybe
we are both so different now.

Will you relax? You'll be fine.

Have I thanked you yet for
what you've done, MacGyver?

For keeping me from
making a terrible mistake?

About a thousand times, yes.

Wow! I'm in america!

First time here?

You mean you cannot tell I have
never before set even one foot

out of east Germany?

Not by the way
you speak English.

- It's almost perfect.
- Oh, thank you.

The state needed teachers of
English, so I was trained for this.

Oh, look!

Female announcer on pa: The white
zone is for the loading and unloading

of passengers only.

No parking.

MacGyver, do you
have three quarters?

Quarters? Uh, yeah, sure.

In your old magazines people
used to smuggle across the border,

I kept seeing this one picture
of beautiful men and women

in beautiful swimsuits
drinking ice cold root beer.

And now it is my turn.

(Bell chiming)

Otto: Maria!

Maria, my god,
let me look at you!

Oh, here.

Opa.

Uh, you two have
a lot to talk about.

I'm gonna take off.

Thank you, my friend.

MacGyver, what time must
we go back to immigration?

4:00. I'll pick you up.

Otto: Immigration?
What is this about?

Maria: Oh, I'm sorry, opa, but I
must go fill out some more papers.

There's so much
catching-up to do.

Put your toy away, Kurt.

I still cannot
believe I am here.

What are they doing?

Kurt: The girl just arrived.

(Bell chiming)

Oh, look.

It's such a
wonderful store, opa.

(Otto laughing)

Otto: My apartment's upstairs.

It's small, but
there's room for two.

Maria, look.

There's an old friend

Who wanted to say hello.

She is lovely.

You don't remember
her? She was your favorite.

Oh, birgit!

- (Chuckling)
- My precious little birgit.

How could I have forgotten?

You insisted

We take her along
the night we...

I tucked her under my sweater
where she would be warm.

She's waited for
you all these years.

She knew some day
you would come for her.

And it was always in my
prayers that you would.

Come. You must be tired.

Maria: Yes. It's
been a very long day.

There has not been
one word about the gold.

How do you know he still has it?

He has it.

He wouldn't dare double-cross us

while his granddaughter
was in our hands.

And now she is here, hmm.

So why do we wait?

Because it is our
plan from the start.

Because it is safer for us

to let the girl find
out where he hides it.

Do you have a problem
with that, weise?

Oh, no. Not at all, Huber.

As you constantly remind
me, you are my superior.

But I still say,

give me 10 minutes
with the old man alone

and I promise you he
will beg us to take the gold.

Oh, weise, will you stop?

Stop what? Huh?

We have no jobs.

We're almost out of money.

How are we supposed to exist?

You prefer to be
working for the Mossad

or the CIA,

I will be happy to write a
letter of recommendation,

yeah.

In exchange for
your share of the gold.

Just cool it, huh?

- Our operative
knows - what to do.

Just give her time.

A million bucks in gold.

Come on, men,
it's worth the wait.

I don't know. Something's
not right, Pete. I know it.

MacGyver, just
because she sat down

and immediately
fastened her seatbelt?

- Now what does that prove?
- No, no, it's more than that.

She knew how to
make the seat recline,

how to plug in her head phones.

She even asked the flight
attendant for a magazine.

I'm tellin' you, she behaved
just like a seasoned traveler.

- Look, I admit that's a bit odd, but still...
- No, and then...

And then at the airport, she
asked me for three quarters

for a root beer.

Quarters, Pete?

She's never been out of east Germany
and she knows our coin system?

Look, you want to check her out?

We're going to
check her out, okay?

- Come on.
- Thank you, thank you.

Willis.

Willis: Hi, MacGyver,
welcome back.

Thanks, Willis.

- Can you help me out here?
- Sure.

What do you think of that?

Looks like it could be kgb.

Most likely assembled
in east Germany.

- Stasi?
- Yeah, could be.

MacGyver: Got any
fingerprints there?

Willis: Yeah,
couple of good ones.

Okay. Get them off to
Washington right away.

Oh, also, Pete,

could we run this through
the child finder program?

I want to see what a young
Maria would look like at 23.

- Willis?
- No problem. I'll have it tomorrow.

Thanks.

Okay.

- You got everything you came for?
- Yes.

Thank you for indulging me.

(Chuckling) No problem.

(Bell chiming)

(Laughing)

Opa, you work too hard.

Most men your age
are retired by now.

Ja, perhaps, perhaps not.

I've been thinking, what if I
closed the store for a few months,

So you and I can
travel, see america.

Maria: Oh, that
would be wonderful.

But would that not
cost a lot of money?

Otto: Let me worry about that.

I have something put away.

This is it! This is it! Mensch!

Come on, you old fool,
tell her where the gold is.

Huber: Move the laser up to
the old man's apartment window.

Hurry, they are coming in.

Otto: What did I have
to spend money on?

Maria: So, opa, you
mean you are rich?

Richer than ever,
now that you are here.

(Laughing) Opa, be serious.

You mean you are
rich from selling toys?

Well, I make enough
to be comfortable.

You keep the money
in a bank, yes?

So many questions about money.

Go get changed.
MacGyver will be here soon.

Maria: All right.

But tonight when I get back, we
will talk about everything. Yes?

- Otto: Yes, Maria.
- I've had enough of this talk, talk, talk.

He tells the girl nothing.

We were fools to
cut her into the deal.

Weise, we can do
without your impatience.

She's doing her best.

Kurt: It appears
we have a visitor.

Oh, it's the lover-boy.

Lover-boy.

Listen to you calling
him. And look at you.

Your jeans and bows and arrows.

(Speaking German)

I don't know you any more.

Just 10 years in this country and
you're more American than German.

Don't knock it till you try it.

(Door bell ringing)

Maria. That must be MacGyver.

Maria: I'll be right out, opa.

Yes?

Otto, it's me.

(Buzzer buzzing)

Come in. Maria will be ready

Hello, Otto!

MacGyver, hello.

So, have you gotten used to
seeing Maria all grown up yet?

She is some young
lady, is she not?

It's hard to believe she
was my little liebchen.

Yeah, well she's
definitely a woman now.

Yes.

But in here, there is no change.

Only the same
sweet, innocent child.

I am ready, MacGyver.

Boy, I'll say.

Opa, why don't you come with us?

Yeah, then we'll all go
out to dinner afterwards.

Oh, thank you, but I
must work on my books.

All right, then we'll bring
something in for you.

Oh, no.

Opa, we insist.

This is america. Everybody
brings food in to eat.

Otto: Go! Go!

(Chuckling)

Huber: Here they come.

It must be for her
immigration appointment.

So we continue to
wait and wait and wait.

You got it.

What do you say we take a break?

Get something to eat?

Huber, you can buy.

Huber: You know a place
that takes traveler's checks?

Only if you have some ID.

(Laughing)

You coming, weise?

No. My ulcer.

Too much American junk food.

You two go ahead.
I'll stay here and watch.

(Doorknob rattling)

Weise!

We have much to
talk about, old man.

It was wonderful
driving through the city.

In spite of all your questions.

Oh, I was just trying to get
to know you better, that's all.

Why do you look at me like that?

Oh, I was just thinkin'

how happy your grandfather is

to have you here, that's all.

All those years, all the hate.

I never would have
known how wonderful he is,

if it wasn't for you.

Come. Let's try your
Hawaiian pizza with pineapple.

Where is the gold?

(Groans)

You have killed my son.

My granddaughter,
she is safe now.

The iron curtain is gone.

You have nothing to
threaten me with now.

Except your life, old man.

If you do not
give me the gold...

(Groaning)

Where is the gold?

(Screaming)

(Gun firing)

(Grunting)

Otto: Maria, run!
Call the police!

Hurry! Hurry!

(Grunting)

(Speaking German)

(Screaming)

- MacGyver, you all right?
- Oh, yeah.

He ran into me and fell.

(Police radio chattering)

MacGyver.

- Everybody all right?
- Yeah.

Well, guess what, Pete?

The guy they just loaded
into that ambulance

Is the same guy that
followed me in leipzig.

But that's all we have, at least
until he regains consciousness.

No ID, no apparent motive.

His name is Helmut weise.
He's a former stasi agent.

You know those prints that we
lifted from that listening device?

They matched with stasi files

- provided by the Bonn government.
- Stasi?

- Yeah.
- Well, what's he doing here?

Excellent question.
Let's ask Otto.

That man, he was a burglar, yes?

He was a stasi agent, Otto.

Stasi in the United States?

Otto, he's the same man who
followed MacGyver in leipzig.

And he was knockin'
you around for a reason.

Now, what's going on?

I thought when the
wall came down,

and I had my Maria back,

it would all be over.
But it will never be over.

Otto,

I am your friend.

Now will you please
tell me the truth?

After that night
when they took Maria,

for years, they used her

To make me cooperate.

Telling me if I did not,

I would never see Maria again.

It has gone on for 15 years now.

Cooperate? In what way?

They used my store for
a courier drop. That's all.

A place to exchange
papers, microfilm,

tapes.

Opa, how could you?

I had no choice. They
would have killed you.

You should have let them.

And die a second death?

Even worse than the first?

You are making no sense.

Not a day has gone by

That I have not re-lived
that night at the border.

I hear you crying "opa, opa!"

Otto: Then,

I was down in the ravine,

helpless,

looking up, as the border
guards killed my only son

And took you away.

I knew then

that I was more a
prisoner of the past

than I was a free man.

Excuse me.

Did you guys see that?

Pete: See what?

I think there's a listening post
somewhere across the street.

You guys wait here.

They'll expose our laser beam.

Forget it. There's no time!

Up there, second floor.

We'll take the front.

Willis: This is the most sophisticated
laser technology I've seen.

It projects a beam of
light against a window,

And translates the
vibrations back into sound.

Sort of like a cd player.

- Check out the origin, will you?
- Will do.

Oh, Willis, how are you coming
on that child finder workup?

Uh, we have some
program glitches,

but I'll give you a holler as
soon as I have something.

- All right.
- The medical report on weise.

- Yeah, and?
- He's still in a coma.

Makes interesting
reading, though.

Seems he has more
than a fractured skull.

He took a shot to the throat
hard enough to rupture his larynx.

Well, that doesn't
make any sense.

I shoved the table into
his chest and he took off.

I never laid a hand on him.

Leaves only one
possibility, doesn't it?

MacGyver, good morning.

Maria.

Something wrong?

Well, maybe you can tell me.

The medical report says the
guy who broke in here last night

was struck in the throat
before he fell down the stairs.

What are you saying?

Maria, you were
on that stair landing.

He had to run right by you.

What?

MacGyver!

How could you
think such a thing?

How could I think anything else?

You had the time.
You had the position.

All right.

I will not deny it.

Not that you will understand.

Try me.

(door opening)

When he ran past me,

fearing for my own life.

I should have killed him.

Men like weise should not be
allowed to walk on the face of this earth.

You know this guy's name?

He was stasi.

What about you, Maria?

Karate?

Enough hate to kill?

You don't learn that kind
of stuff in an orphanage.

No, you are right.

That took special training.

Maria?

No. What are you saying?

What do you think it was like in east
Germany as a child with no home?

An orphan. A ward of the state.

Stasi had a special
training school

For children like me who owed
their existence to their government.

When I was 16, I was allowed to
stay at the orphanage no longer.

I was chosen to
become a "sparrow."

A "sparrow?"

Oh, it's charming, yes?
All birds of a feather.

The boys were known as "hawks."

For years, they taught us
how to manipulate people.

How to spy on our friends.

And yes, how to kill.

Otto: But you are a teacher.

Now.

That was my cover before the wall
came down and put us out of business.

Before that,

I worked all over Europe
and america as a stasi agent.

What about this weise?

I only met him a month ago.

He helped recruit me.

To help them find where
my grandfather hid their gold.

Gold?

The people that weise worked for

would exploit east
Germans for money

That would help buy them
safe passage across the border.

It was then converted to gold

And brought to the United
States for safekeeping.

It was brought to
my grandfather's.

She is an impostor!

No, I'm not.

They knew I hated
you all those years.

They used that to
get me to cooperate.

They even promised me a share.

Otto: Who are you?

You are not my granddaughter!

No, opa, it is me!

Opa, that night papa was
killed and I was captured,

I didn't know what
really happened.

Not until I knew you.

Not until I heard my opa
speak of that horrible night.

Mossel?

Not today, MacGyver.
The name is Huber.

Good show, Maria.

But we'll take it from here.

The gold, old man.

The gold, or you and
your friend are dead.

Willis: Okay, it's working
now. Here it comes.

Sorry for the delay, but
we had to disassemble

the image unit to
find the problem.

There you are, Mr. Thornton.

Maria romburg, 15 years later.

That's not the
same girl. Not at all.

She's an impostor?

Yeah. Let's go.

Stasi, right?

Haven't you heard?

The wall is down.
There are no stasi.

(Grunts)

Now then, romburg,

where is the gold?

I will never tell you.

You killed my son.

His life is in that gold.

Your son shot at a border guard.

We had no control over that.

You said there
would be no guards.

After you took all our
money, you wanted us dead.

Like all the others.

But you did manage to escape.

Yes, to become your slave.

Keeping your blood money for you

while you held my
granddaughter hostage.

You see,

You have your toys
and we have ours.

Such a beautiful girl.

It would be such a loss.

Kurt: Romburg,

I do not want to put an arrow
through her beautiful throat.

She's your granddaughter.

That's what you say.

But I know different.
She is one of you.

- You are trying to trick me.
- Perhaps.

But you don't know that
for sure, do you, old man?

(Gasping)

Where is the gold?

(Gasping)

Huber: How sorry you'll
be when you find out

She really is your
granddaughter.

(Maria whimpering)

Last arrow, last chance.

Perhaps you would
like to say goodbye, yes?

Please, opa,

I know these men.
They will kill us for sure.

No.

You are not my granddaughter.

Opa, please.

Opa!

Please! Opa!

Opa!

Don't let him do this! Please!

(Maria shouting)

Opa!

(Maria sobbing) Opa, please!

Opa!

Stop. Stop!

I will tell you.

You are a wise man, romburg.

Now where do you hide the gold?

Upstairs at the store window.

The toy soldiers.

I'm impressed.

You are a very clever man.

Come.

We will make sure
he's telling the truth.

(Panting)

It's the gold.

We must hurry.

Kill MacGyver and
the other two. Now!

Huber, he's gone.

(Grunting)

Kurt?

(Toy plane whirring)

(Grunting)

Pete: MacGyver! You okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Take care of these guys.

Oh, MacGyver.

Thank god.

It's all right, Otto.

You're safe now and
no one can hurt you.

No, especially
not this young lady,

Who claims to be
your granddaughter.

What?

She's a fraud,
MacGyver, a fraud!

No, opa, tell them.

MacGyver, he is wrong.

Here.

Look at this. Look at the chin.

The jaw line.

That is a picture of what the
real Maria would look like now.

Well, you had me goin'.

I believed you.

MacGyver, no!

But I think I wanted to believe.

But it is me.

It's time to give it up.

You can't outsmart
computer imaging.

Please, you don't understand.

Five years ago, I was
on assignment in London.

There was an accident.

My jaw was broken
in three places.

There are hospital records
of the reconstructive surgery.

I am an old man.
Don't do this to me.

Why can't you believe me?

(Gasps)

Wait. Yes, I will prove it.

Opa, look.

Here's the orange thread where
mama sewed birgit's arm back on.

I don't remember. It
was a long time ago.

But, opa, you've
got to remember.

I came crying to you
after valdi chewed it off.

Valdi, our dog?

Yeah. Valdi!

No, no, no, no.

The stasi would
know about a puppy.

There were family pictures.

Would they know of our secret?

Would they know

that you let valdi sleep in
my bed when mama and papa

were away on holiday?

Otto: Oh, my god!

No one could know about that.

Oh, Maria, my little Maria.

(Video game playing music)

- MacGyver?
- He scores!

Ooh, Maria, hi.

Oh, I am interrupting you, yes?

No, no, no, no.
Come on in. I-I'm

Just, uh, setting
up a program here.

It's, uh, very
complicated stuff.

(Chuckles)

- So how's your grandfather?
- Opa?

He's thrilled to tears.

You know the gold that was turned
over to the German government?

- Yeah.
- They agreed to set up a fund in my father's name

To help reunited families
begin all over again.

Well, that's terrific.

And, me, they are
allowing to stay.

That's even more terrific.

What are you gonna do?

Well, to start, I was hoping

that perhaps we might be able
to see each other more often.

More often?

You're the only American
I know, MacGyver.

And I think maybe the
only one I want to know.

Yeah, sure.

That'll be great, um...

Yeah. I travel a lot, you
know, uh, all over the world.

A lot.

I love to travel.

And besides, Pete says with
my language skills and training,

perhaps there's a
place for me at Phoenix.

Pete said that, did he?

Yes.

Isn't that wonderful?

Yeah.

Yeah.
