All language subtitles for MacGyver - 04x11 - The Battle of Tommy Giordano.BluRay.REMUX.AVC.FLAC.2.0-SiCFoI.English.orig.Addic7ed.com

Tommy Giordano
was a good friend of mine.

Had been since the first time I gave
him a bath and got wetter than he did.

I'd known Tommy's mom,
Mary Ruth,

since I first came
to the Phoenix Foundation.

She was a lab technician,
one of the best.

Her husband, Richard,
was a successful surgeon.

They had everything
a family could want.

Except a happy marriage.

The divorce was hard,
but now mother and father

were both suing
for custody of Tommy.

Tommy really didn't understand
why his mom and dad

were suddenly at war
with each other.

Or why he had to be
one of the casualties.

But you could see he was
carrying around a lot more pain

than you'd think could fit
into an 8-year-old kid.

MacGyver,
if I go live with my mom,

my dad will think
I don't love him anymore.

And if I go live with my dad,
my mom will think I don't love her.

I promise you,
that's not how it works.

See, you got to live somewhere,

so somebody has to have custody.

- They both understand that.
- Is that a rule?

It's better. It's a fact.

Like two parts hydrogen
and one part oxygen?

And it never changes?
That kind of fact?

Yeah.

I don't know.

It's a little tough now,
but I promise,

it gets easier.

There she is.

Come on.

Bye.

- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, honey.

I pay you a fortune and you can't
even get me visitation rights.

You verbally abused your wife
for nine years,

then you started in on the judge,
Dr. Giordano.

You didn't give me a lot to work with.

Anyway, you'll have visitation rights
after six months.

You're gonna live with me, Tommy.

What about Dad?

You'll see him soon.

Don't make any trouble.
It's not gonna help.

We'll talk about it later. Come on.

Just a second.

MacGyver.

- Hi, son.
- Hi, Dad.

Look, Mary Ruth,
I wanted Tommy with me.

I admit I've been upset.

But let's call a truce.

Make it easy on Tom?

Friends?

I'd like that.

Tommy would too.

Can I talk to him alone for a minute?

Say goodbye?

Dad, why can't we just
call the divorce off?

I'd like to.

But you know your mom.

Speaking of that,

you know how much trouble she has
taking care of things?

How she gets hysterical?

Well, if that happens
and she can't handle things,

I want you to call me, okay?

I will.

Look what MacGyver
bought me, Dad.

He's taking Mom and me
to the aquarium this afternoon.

I wish you were coming too.

Me too.

But I'll see you soon, huh?

You did the right thing.

Go back to law school, jerk.

You made the right decision
to pull out this afternoon.

Peter Vaccaro could make his move
any time.

I knew his father Albert.
Peter, I don't know.

Albert Vaccaro
never got into narcotics.

He was like me, he didn't wanna see
the stuff get into schoolyards.

Peter, he don't care.

He thinks I'm dribbling my oatmeal.

But I have to shred his tail feathers.

- Narcotics is a lucrative business.
- Don't talk stupid, Pauley!

You gotta draw the line somewhere.

Me, I'm an old man in baggy pants.
Soon, I gotta answer for what I done.

I don't want 1 0-year-olds
on my conscience.

Peter Vaccaro could wait a fast
couple of years and Joe Catano

is history.

It's stupid to kill an old man.
Better to let life do it.

Excuse me.
Someone to see you, Mr. Catano.

I don't believe it.

Hello, Uncle Joe.

Pauley, you remember
Richard Giordano, eh?

He used to be my nephew,
until he gave me the bum's rush.

Uncle Joe, that was a long time ago.

I need help. It's Tommy.

He's sick? An accident? What?

It's private.

I'll make some calls.

See that they have the ranch
ready for us tonight.

Your jet's all arranged.

- I'll be taking a commercial flight later.
- Yeah, yeah. Thanks, Pauley. Thanks.

- Tommy's been taken away from me.
- What do you mean, taken away?

His mother divorced me.

She got custody.
I didn't even get visitation rights.

Don't lie to me.
You run around on her?

No, she left me.

Lied about me in court,
they believed her, that's it.

You're telling me the truth?
That's all there is to it?

That's all.

I swear.

No court's got the right to take a son
away from his father just like that.

I came to you.

You're the only family I have.

Oh, when you're in trouble,
I'm family, huh?

Want to go to college, I'm family.

Medical school, I'm family. Set you up in
a fancy medical practice, I'm family.

But when things are going good,
I'm just an old guy

you don't wanna see
around your son, eh?

I was young.

You was out of line.

I look at you, I don't know you.

You're not a Catano.
You're not like any Giordano I ever knew.

The only thing you ever got
from a Catano was a lot of nerve.

What can I say? I was wrong.

But I want my son.

That's the first human thing
I ever heard you say.

Uncle Joe, I swear to you,
if you help me, I'll make it up to you.

You'll like Tommy,
he's a terrific little boy.

He looks just like Mama.

You should've left that out.

You were beginning to win me over
until you overdid it.

What are you talking about?

Even when you were a kid,
you manipulated, played on people.

Always told them what they wanted
to hear until you got what you wanted,

then threw them away
like a used-up piece of Kleenex.

I'm sorry I bothered you.

Hold it.

I didn't say I wouldn't help.

I just wanted you to know
I was wise to you.

Where is the boy?

At the aquarium.

A friend of his mother's took them.

Well, it so happens I'm going on
a little vacation to Canada tonight.

It'd be nice
to have the boy up there with me.

I'll arrange something.

Wow, he's a giant.

- What are they called, MacGyver?
- Arapaima gigas.

Awesome.

They're so rad.
If I were a fish, that's what I'd be.

That or a shark.
Do they have sharks here?

Yeah, right around the corner
in the next gallery.

- Can I go see them?
- All right,

- but don't go running off, honey.
- Okay.

You know what?

I'm scared to death.

Of what?

I don't know. Everything.

I've never really been alone.

All those years of Richard telling me
I couldn't do anything.

After a while, you start to believe it.

I think it's about time you start
believing in yourself.

Where is he?

There he is.

- Hey!
- Tommy! Stop!

That's my boy! Tommy!

- Surprise.
- Dad.

Tommy!

Tommy!

How long have you had
sole custody of the child?

Since this morning.

That means the custody papers
haven't even come down yet.

- Wha--?
- lt'll take a few days.

And you have to have proof
that Mr. Giordano

doesn't intend to
return the child.

What are you talking about?
He's kidnapped my baby.

Look, in a few days,
when you have the right documents--

What good are documents
if you give them time to disappear?

I'm sorry.

Right now, this is a civil matter.

I wish there was more I could do.

Oh, MacGyver,
what am I gonna do? What?

Dad, what's going on?

We're taking a trip.

Your mom got custody,
but before you go to live with her,

we get to take a trip.
It's part of the deal.

No kidding?
Where are we going?

To a ranch in Canada.

I haven't got my clothes
or a suitcase or anything.

- We'll get some new ones.
- What's Mom gonna do?

I guess she'll be with MacGyver.

Hey, you're gonna like the ranch.

I used to visit Uncle Joe up there
when I was your age.

- Who's Uncle Joe?
- That's me.

Your grandmother was my sister.

That's why I'm Uncle Joe.

So how come I never saw you before?

Well, I was away

but now I'm back.

You know what I got in Canada?

Horses.

- You like horses?
- Yeah.

Yeah?

You and me are gonna be pals.

I like him.

One of those horses
is just a little bit bigger than you.

Here we go.

Mary Ruth, I want you to know

that we're doing
absolutely everything in our power

- to get Tommy back safe and sound.
- Thank you, Mr. Thornton.

Call me Pete, huh?

So, what is a surgeon doing with
a couple of professional thugs?

Well, I think I can explain that.

When we hired you,

Phoenix did a thorough background
investigation on you.

Now, that's standard procedure.

But the review included
Richard's family background.

Have you ever heard
of Joseph Catano?

There was an Uncle Joe. He came
to visit when Tommy was born.

He brought a huge teddy bear.

But Richard was in a hurry to get rid
of him. I never saw him again. Why?

- Who is he?
- He is the absolute,

undisputed head
of the Catano crime family.

I lived with Richard for nine years.

How could he keep that from me?

Well, our information is that Richard
broke with the family some time ago.

So since he's an established surgeon
in his own right,

we didn't consider the connection
to be a security risk when we hired you.

I can't believe this is happening.
What am I gonna do?

I think we can start
by trying to find Joseph Catano.

I have a call in to George Kaplan.

He handles organized crime
over at the FBl.

Yeah, but this is a civil matter,
remember?

It's just like always.

Richard's winning again. He's not
doing this because he wants Tommy.

He's doing this
because he can't stand to lose.

Mr. Thornton, there's a call
for Mary Ruth on line three.

It's Tommy.

Go ahead, Helen. Put it through.

- Tommy?
- Mom.

Tommy, where are you?

I'm at Uncle Joe's, with Dad.

I just called to say goodbye.

What do you mean goodbye?

We're going to Uncle Joe's ranch.

- I thought you knew.
- Where's the ranch, Tommy?

I was talking to Mom.

No time for that now, kiddo.
We're on our way.

I wanted to say goodbye to Mom.

You can call her from Canada, okay?

Well, who's this?

Look at this kid.
Is he a Catano or what?

It's Richie's son.

Tommy, this is Paul.

- Hello, Paul.
- Hi, Tommy.

We're gonna see a lot of Paul
at the ranch.

He's so efficient, I could sleep all day.

He's like talking to a computer.

But who's perfect, eh?

Mr. Vaccaro.

It's Paul.

It's all set for tomorrow night.

Get your people up there.

Tell them to check into
the Timberland Motel in town.

I'll get in touch with them
and give them their instructions.

No, sir, the security's no problem.

I can get them past it.

Yes, sir.

Goodbye.

Tony,

- I want you on the gate tomorrow night.
- Yes, sir.

Yeah. Got it.

Okay, thanks.

Here's Catano's address.
Get over there.

Kaplan's meeting you.

I'm still working on getting
your custody papers rushed through.

MacGyver, Mrs. Giordano,
I'm George Kaplan, FBl.

- Where's Tommy?
- Catano's people filed a flight plan

for his private jet.

- He's on his way to Canada by now.
- Canada?

Well, can't you do something?
Stop the plane.

You have to understand,
the Bureau can't get involved

- unless there's a federal crime.
- Don't tell us, it's a civil matter.

I'm sorry.

But it's kidnapping.
You have to help me.

Don't you understand? I have custody.
Why can't you have them arrested

- when they get to Canada?
- It's just not that simple.

You're talking about international law.

It could take months to get through
legal channels.

- Maybe even years.
- Not good enough.

In circumstances like this,
most people hire a private detective

to snatch the child back.

But in this case,
I wouldn't advise trying that.

- Why not?
- For the past few months,

there's been trouble
between Joe Catano

and the new boss of the
Vaccaro family, Peter Vaccaro.

There's a contract out on Catano.

He's gone to the pads.

- What does that mean?
- It means Catano's in hiding.

He's got a price on his head.

Oh, God, that means
Tommy's in danger too.

I wish there was something I could do
to help. But my hands are tied.

Yeah, well, mine aren't.

Any law that says
I can't go after Tommy?

Yeah. It's called kidnapping.

It takes a parent or legal guardian
to bring the boy

across the international border.

Otherwise, you're the one
facing the charges.

What if we both go after Tommy?

Look, I'm advising against it.

But the only way you're gonna pull
this off, is if you do it together.

We'd be walking
into a pretty messy situation.

Look, I've seen Richard do some mean,
manipulative things.

But I never thought
he'd put Tommy in danger.

He's not gonna get my baby killed.

I'm going.

How come those guys have guns,
Uncle Joe?

Some people work hard
all their lives getting things

and other people work hard all their lives
stealing what you worked for.

Now, Tommy, I want you
to do me a favour, huh?

You're not to go
outside that gate, huh?

Okay.

Okay.

- Tommy's okay.
- Oh, thank God.

Can you get in there?

Well, in the daylight, all those guards,
might be a little tough.

MacGyver, look.

They must be from the other family
Kaplan told us about.

It looks like they're doing the same thing
we are, for different reasons.

You mean they came up here
to kill Joe?

Come on, we'd better
keep an eye on them,

make sure they don't move
before we do.

- Now, how does that feel?
- I'm riding.

Oh, how about that.

You're doing good. Yeah.

You know, R.J.,
that stands for Royal Jasper.

Some name, huh?

They always name horses like that.
The good ones, anyway.

Now, you look at his neck, huh?

Proud and high, good legs.

That's because family's
everything with horses.

Just like it should be with us Catanos.
You know, I only met your mother once.

Tell me about her.

Well, sometimes she's funny,
and we have a real good time.

But when Dad's around,
she cries a lot.

I think she's smart,
but don't tell Dad that.

He doesn't think so.

That's because she messes up
when Dad's around.

He makes her nervous.

I think I'd like her, your mother.

See that?

- So now what?
- We wait is what.

As soon as we get the phone call,
we move in

and we get the job done, huh?

Here's our room.

It looks like they're in room nine.

What do you say we check into
the room next door?

And whatever happens in there,
back me up.

Room ten, please.

They're all exactly alike.

Oh, not on the scale
of the great cosmos, they're not.

We want ten.

- Why?
- Numerology, man.

Numerology?

The karma of any number
that's not divisible by two or five

just puts us
into a cosmic tailspin, totally.

Right, babe?

Oh, right. The wrong number
really messes with my polarity.

Ten.

Are you two from California?

For sure.

Now taste this.

Okay.

You're kidding.

You can do better than 1 5 percent.

Dad, can I call Mom now?

I'm on the phone.

I mean when you finish.
You said I could call.

She'll be worried if I don't call.

Hang on for a minute.

I brought you on a trip.
I bought you toys.

You have horses to ride.
Isn't anything enough for you?

It's just Mom all the time?

- Don't you like being with me?
- Sure I do.

Then I don't wanna hear
any more whining.

Sorry about that.

I told you, 1 5 percent
is not good enough.

You have to speak bad to the boy?

I was on the phone to Austria.

I was about to wrap up a partnership
in a clinic in Vienna.

Vienna? You're going to Vienna
with Tommy?

You snatch him away
from everything he ever knew

and now you wanna take him
to Vienna?

Where they don't even
speak English?

It's a very lucrative practice.

I have to make some plans
for the future.

For you. All for you.

- Nothing for the kid.
- He'll have everything he wants.

All he wants is to be a kid.

Your kid.

What'd you want him for?

Because he's mine.

But he's not a silk tie
or an alpaca sweater.

He's a kid, Richie. A kid.

What are you doing?

The only way we can find out
what they're planning

is to patch into their phone line.

Can you get me a coat hanger?

The first thing I gotta do
is shove our phone line

over to their junction box.

And connect our phone to theirs.

Now I gotta connect the lines.

I'm gonna have to get in their room.
I'll need five minutes.

What?

You're gonna have to
get them out of there.

- How? What will I say?
- Whatever it takes.

Tell them the car won't start,
you need help. Anything.

I can't.

You have to.

Now go.

I can do this.

I don't know.

How about some Chinese, huh?

Hey, you think they got
Chinese food in Canada?

- Yeah, sure they do, huh?
- Come on.

You pay.

- I'll flip you for it.
- Oh, yeah.

They're gone.
They went out to eat.

All right, if you see them coming back,
knock on the wall.

I'm gonna call the store.

Oh, that's some toy.

My friend, MacGyver,
gave me one like it.

That's why I wanted this one.

It runs with this remote control.

You can program it to do stuff.

Will you look at that?

You know,
I could never understand that.

You're a very smart kid,
you know that?

I could teach you.

Would you do that?

Oh, that's great.

Look at him go.

Look at that.

I figured out maybe you'd like it

if Uncle Joe put you
on a plane tomorrow,

- sent you back to see your mother.
- You mean it?

- Yeah.
- Thanks, Uncle Joe.

How would you like it
if I called you up sometime,

just to shoot the breeze?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Make him go.

They're coming back already.

Is that our phone?

Hello?

Hello.

Missed it.

What'd I tell you?

Leave me alone!

Stop it! Leave me alone!

What's that?

Either a fight, or maybe
somebody's really in love, man.

Please, you gotta help me!

He's tearing up everything.
I think he's gonna kill me.

- Who, lady?
- My boyfriend, he's gone crazy!

- You gotta help me.
- Look, lady, it's not our problem, okay?

Oh, please. He's gonna kill me!

- He's hurt me before.
- All right.

Come on.

The jerk's gonna hurt her.

I guess he left.

- You ought to lock the door.
- Oh, I will.

It was really sweet of you guys
to help me, though.

I was really scared.

Look, if he comes back,
don't let him in, okay?

No, I won't. Thank you, really.

I don't know what I would have done
if you hadn't been there. Thanks again.

Nice going, ace.

- Where were you?
- What?

We got dinner and brought it back.

- What's the game plan?
- Listen.

Is there a delivery truck
in the parking lot?

See if there's a delivery truck
in the parking lot.

Yeah.

- Yeah.
- That's your way in.

I've got Tony on the gate
with another guy.

Take out the other guy.
Tony's with us.

- Yeah.
- You pull up to the house

and blow the horn twice.

When you do that,
I take out the old man.

You handle the two bodyguards inside,
Tony will clean up in the bunkhouse.

- You got it?
- We saw a kid this afternoon.

Everybody goes. Now move.

On our way.

All right, you can't call out on this.
Get to a phone and call the police.

- Where are you going?
- With them.

They don't get any smoother
in this setup.

- I don't like whacking the kid.
- Same here.

We got a job to do.

I need the police, quick!

Don't do that, lady.

- You'll give me a heart attack.
- It's an emergency. Call the police!

- There are no police here.
- What do you mean?

There's a Mountie base,
but it's an hour away.

Look, somebody's going to kill my
little boy at the Catano Ranch tonight!

Is this a prank, lady?

Does it look like a prank?

Just get the Mounties to
the Catano Ranch as fast as you can!

Okay.

All right.

Wait a minute.

Go check the back.

Hi.

Okay, one down.

I'll call the house.

We just drive in, nice and easy.

Remember, once we open fire,
nothing comes out of there alive.

It's Tony.
The delivery's here, Mr. Rizzo.

Good.

Let's go.

- What's wrong with it?
- I don't know.

Neither one is a 3-year-old.

Boy, I tell you, I didn't play him
because I thought

the track conditions unfavourable.
Too hot out there.

Now, I tell you.

They used too much garlic here?

- How about some salt?
- No, thanks.

Kind of dry, though.

- Have any beer here?
- No, there's some milk in there.

You wanna get some?

No beer, but milk we got.

Wednesday...

I can't stand to see the kid unhappy.

And I'm not letting Richie
carry him off to Vienna.

Give it some pedal.

Yeah.

Let's go.

I'll take care of the guys
in the bunkhouse.

It's the delivery.

Go give them a hand.

Hey! What gives?

- What's that?
- It's the delivery.

From the Vaccaro family.

So they got to you too, huh?

Nothing personal, Joe.

It's business.

Who are you?

My name's MacGyver.
I've come to take Tommy home.

Hurry up.

- What's going on here?
- MacGyver!

- What's he doing here?
- Never mind. Get the boy safe.

Vaccaro's people are here.

Where are you going?

This is your war, old man.
I'm getting out of here.

Without the kid?

Up there. Cover me.

Tommy, stay quiet.

There's a bunch of them.
I'd forget about trying to shoot it out.

You got a better suggestion?

Maybe.

What are you doing?

Alcohol, ammonia.

Acid from coffee descaler.

If I can hook up the power source...

That should be enough
to set off the alcohol.

After it blows, the rest of the stuff
will make a smoke screen.

After that, we're on our own.

Let's take some cover.

When I hit the button,
be ready to move.

Ready.

All right. Let's check downstairs.

My, my.

Haven't we been busy?

Awesome, Mom.

Tommy!

Take Tommy home. I'll see Richie
doesn't bother you anymore.

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

Both of you.

Hey, we love Tommy too, you know.

Oh, I don't mean just for Tommy,
I mean for me too.

And thanks to you, I've done things
I never dreamed I could do.

Like polishing off a hit man
with a skillet?

Right.

Thank goodness now
all I have to do is be a mom.

Are you kidding? In a few years,
you're gonna be dealing with a teenager.

- Yeah, puberty.
- High school.

Borrowing the car.

Let me try it.

Come on.

Better let me drive.
