[THEME SONG PLAYING]

MacGYVER: I'd finished up a little mission in Zurich,

and the Phoenix Foundation gave me a bonus:

some time off and a first-class flight anywhere I wanted to go.

So I took them up on it.

Signed up for a hot air balloon rally.

Slow and easy, over the Alps.

No schedule, no timetables.

Just watching the birds go by.

Enjoying the scenery, smelling the fresh air,

and reminding myself why eagles don't get ulcers.

I did hope we had enough fuel

to keep our altitude over the peaks,

and clear the snow field.

We did, and as soon as we got away from the others,

everything kinda worked out.

Besides, I'd brought along an expert.

MacGyver, I can't make it pop.

Well, as they say, it's all in the wrist.

[CORK POPS]

[GIGGLES]

Oh, well.

A bogey.

[MAN SPEAKING RUSSIAN OVER RADIO]

Not today, pal. Let's part company.

Whoever you are, you're good.

[SPEAKING RUSSIAN OVER RADIO]

Backup base, this is GX-1, breaking radio silence.

I've been spotted.

I've got a MIG-25 Fox interceptor on my tail.

I can't shake the bogey. He's lining me up.

[MAN SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

[BEEPING]

MAN [OVER RADIO]: GX-1, climb to 90,000 feet.

MIG tops out at 75,000.

PILOT: Roger, base. Attempting altitude.

I'm hit. I'm hit!

MAN [OVER RADIO]: Climb, GX-1.

Climbing.

Zero, 78, longitude 50 degrees, 22 north.

Latitude 12 degrees, 55 east.

Altitude 78,000... 80...

84,000 feet.

And that's it. That's all she's got.

All right.

Bogey hit her ceiling. I've lost it.

- Hold it! - [ALARM BLARING]

Flare in #1 engine.

Losing power.

Engine #1 out!

...GX-1. Come on. We'll pick you up.

I can't hold her! I can't hold her steady!

Oh, God! Trouble in #2 engine!

[ALARM BEEPING]

#2 engine out!

Attempting re-ignition...

Negative, negative, no go!

Can't fire... setting destruct...

Now!

Tell my wife... Tell her I love her.

MacGYVER: One thing you got to know when you're ballooning

is how to land.

Simply put, you just cut the heat,

and let gravity do the rest.

[ALL CHATTERING]

MacGyver!

What a landing.

Hey, Pete!

What on earth are you doing here?

Uh, listen, we have a problem.

Uh, would you excuse us a minute, please?

Come here.

What's up?

We've, uh, lost a plane

somewhere here over the Alps.

Must be a pretty important plane for you to come this far.

Well, it is.

The GX-1.

Oh, you mean the plane that's not supposed to exist yet?

Yeah, well this is a modified GX-1.

It is the most secret,

most experimental craft ever developed.

But it won't be a secret very long,

if you can't find the wreckage.

No, wait a minute, Pete.

Search for a missing aircraft, isn't that your department?

Certainly takes your kind of manpower.

You need radar, infrared, air search, all that stuff.

That's just the point.

This is a prototype stealth craft

with an experimental cooling system on the engine.

Its whole purpose is to defeat radar and infrared.

Now, the Air Force has done everything they can do.

They have, uh, gone as far as they can go.

What do you mean, they've gone as far as they can go?

I mean they can't cross the East German border.

The Pentagon thinks the plane is on the other side.

And they can't go in themselves.

So it's us.

Any more good news, Pete?

Yeah, I have, uh, a few things I can give you back at the hotel.

All right, fine. I'll meet you there.

Just let me say goodbye to Heidi.

What's she doing here?

Uh, Nikki, nothing personal,

but I'm going into the mountains, I am going alone,

and Pete, you should have consulted me.

Listen, I tried to call you, more than once.

Oh yeah, well, I've been out of touch.

Slaving away, as I can see.

Look, I said nothing personal,

but those mountains are rugged. I don't want to be saddled...

And you don't want to be stuck dragging a woman around.

Well, I wouldn't have put it quite like that.

But that's exactly what you meant.

THORNTON: Nikki...

You're a closet sexist.

- What? Wait a minute. Wait a minute. - THORNTON: MacGyver...

Why don't we just admit that you and I do things a little different?

Look, hold it, will you?

Look, MacGyver, as soon as I'm finished crossing that border, baby-sitting you...

I should have known this wasn't gonna work.

- I'm going to be at the Aspenhaus Spa... - Baby-sitting? Baby-sitting?

- Did you hear what she said? - Yes, I did.

- Okay, stop it. - I do not need to be baby-sat.

- ...courtesy of the Phoenix Foundation - Did you hear what she said?

THORNTON: Would you hold it a minute?

Let me get a word in edgewise here.

Now you are going to go across that East German border together,

as a married couple,

because that's how I think you will get across undetected.

Now once you are across,

once you're at the resort, you can separate.

You can each go your own way.

Okay?

Everybody happy now?

Mm.

THORNTON: Good.

Okay, let's go back to the hotel.

There's a lot of prep work to do.

Fine. I'll meet you there,

soon as I get Heidi a ride home.

Heidi? It would be.

- THORNTON: Oh, stop it. - [NIKKI GIGGLES]

PILOT [ON TAPE]: I can't hold her!

I can't hold her steady.

Oh, God! Trouble in #2 engine!

[PLANE ALARM BLARING]

Attempting re-ignition...

Negative, negative, no go.

Can't fire.

Setting destruct... Now.

Tell my wife... Tell her I love her.

[EXPLOSION]

- Any word on the pilot? - No. Not since he ejected.

In fact, the pilot is presumed dead.

But, from his last known position,

the speed of the aircraft, and the direction he was flying in,

we've calculated that the wreckage should be somewhere here...

in this area, in the mountains,

just over the border.

What do we expect to find?

Well, the skin of the aircraft

was coated with a radar deflection shield.

But the real goody

is this new cooling system on the engine exhaust.

It makes the plane virtually undetectable with infrared.

And that's what the Russians are after.

So you're in a race.

Well, we got a head start with those last coordinates, didn't we?

Well, that's true, but the Russians have something -- someone --

going for them, too.

I'll be honest, I scoffed myself,

but Intelligence is taking this very seriously.

It's a man named Starkoss. He's a psychic.

A psychic?

THORNTON: That's right.

Watch this.

This film was smuggled out of

the Petroskia Institute for Paranormal Studies in Moscow.

The Russians are very deeply into parapsychology,

psychic phenomena, mind control.

They find these psychics,

and they train them for intelligence work.

Now this man, Starkoss, is their #1 performer.

He's a celebrity, a star.

He lives like a king,

even in Russia.

And our experts

say that he could be the real thing.

Well, that's great by me.

I've got the pilot's last coordinates, his altitude,

his air speed, a satellite map.

And they've got some guy doing parlor tricks.

I'll take the odds any day.

I wouldn't.

There is trouble.

The craft...

it was over our airspace.

MARKOV: We believe it was making

a high-altitude surveillance flight.

We detected nothing on our radar.

Some malfunction must have forced it down

to lower altitudes.

That is when our aircraft observed him.

Yes, there is trouble.

I see it.

The pilot is afraid.

All he wants is to go home.

And then he's spotted.

We fired upon him.

The photographs are from our gun cameras.

We fired on him when he refused to land.

I'm hit. I'm hit.

There's damage.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

I can't make it.

I can't make it.

Call to base.

We lost him, but he went down, we know that.

Where's the plane?

[GASPING]

Map... Bring me map.

You will find plane here.

NIKKI: You were real smooth with that border guard back there.

How did you ever manage to ask him about his sister's feet?

MacGYVER: All right, so my German's not so good.

We got through, didn't we?

I want to thank you for all your help.

Oh, I suppose your Swiss Miss could have done better.

Heidi happens to be extremely competent,

intelligent and articulate.

Not to mention a great body.

That's not her fault.

You certainly wouldn't hold it against her.

Oh, now who's the sexist, huh?

Who's the sexist?

Heidi.

Heidi, that's right. That's her name.

H-E-I-D-I, Heidi. What's wrong with it?

Nothing. Nothing.

You're Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter?

- Yes. - Welcome to Aspenhaus.

I am Helmut.

I will be your personal attendant while you are with us.

Oh, very nice to meet you, Helmut.

What a lovely name.

Please... call me Nikki.

First I will take these to your room,

then later I will tell you

all about the services we have at the spa.

Oh, wonderful.

I'm sure we'll find plenty to keep us busy

while my husband's off hiking.

MacGYVER: Just drop the bags in the Bridal Suite, Helmut.

Jawohl.

Hmm.

- Ciao. - HELMUT: Ja.

See you later, Helmut.

Well he seemed very polite.

And articulate.

Yeah.

Helmut...

Well, have a nice time on the mountain.

Good morning, Comrade Starkoss.

STARKOSS: Morning.

The helicopter's ready, colonel.

MacGyver!

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING OVERHEAD]

Oh!

[GROANS]

[HORSE SNORTING]

Oh! Hello!

Boy, am I glad to see you.

I could really use a hand.

Actually, I could really use your horse.

Could I borrow him?

Or... or rent him?

I'd be happy to buy him outright if I had to.

Ja. Sprechen Sie Deutsche, Fraulein?

[SPEAKING GERMAN] ...English.

Uh... how much Deutchmarks

for das

horsey?

[FOOTSTEPS]

Oh! Oh!

As soon as your teeth stop chattering...

Oh! Oh, MacGyver!

...there's an obvious question.

Do you realize what I've been through?

That rotten horse!

He threw me off halfway up the mountain.

And then I had to walk... and walk,

and I fell into this river,

and I cut my feet trying to get out.

I think a mountain lion followed me here.

No, that wasn't the question.

Oh, and then I saw this glorious campfire,

and I prayed that it would be you.

But if it wasn't, it could have been Jack the Ripper,

and I would have been his gladly just to get to this fire.

You know, I know this comes as no big surprise to you,

but you are soaked to the bone.

- Here. Put those on. - Thank you.

Could you turn around?

Oh! Oh!

[SHIVERING]

Put both shirts on, and tuck them in.

Leave the top one unbuttoned.

I saw Starkoss. He's up here.

He left the Aspenhaus by car.

And there was something said about a helicopter.

Yeah, a helicopter. I saw one fly over this afternoon.

From the direction,

I'd say it was headed towards the target zone,

which means they've got a jump on us.

Listen, that was important information for me to have.

I owe you one.

It's okay. You can turn around now.

Pull your top shirt open there.

- Like this? - Yeah.

What are you doing?

Putting pine needles between the shirts for insulation.

It's not quite Neiman Marcus, but it'll keep you warm.

Ah. Okay. Ouch! Ow! I got it.

Thank you. I'll do it later.

Now, there's some trail mix there.

Water in the canteen, if you'd like.

No, thanks.

I'm not hungry. I just want to get warm.

Uh... by the way,

there are no mountain lions in East Germany.

Is that it?

Is that... Is that all you have with you is one sleeping bag?

Yeah, well, I wasn't expecting company.

There's plenty of room here.

Yeah, right. Not in a million years.

Suit yourself. Good night.

Good morning.

Morning.

Well... I have to give you high marks

for acting like a perfect gentleman last night.

That's amazing.

I don't know how I did it, but I controlled myself.

I guess I deserved that.

Now what?

Well, we find the plane.

But it's going to take some walking to get there.

You all right?

Just fine...

if you don't count the blisters.

Those homemade boots I made for you

aren't going to last long.

You might have been better off going back to... Helmut.

Excuse me. I'm the one

who had to play Sir Edmund Hilary

to get up here and warn you

about that Russian search party, if you remember.

How can I forget?

You keep reminding me.

Fine. Wisecrack all you want,

but we don't know what we're up against here.

Starkoss is something else.

Mr. Starkoss is no more clairvoyant

than common sense and logic.

[MEN SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

CARPENTER: Then how did they know where to go?

Same way we did.

They calculated the speed of the GX-1,

and approximated where it had to go down.

- Uh-oh. - What is it?

I'm afraid we found the pilot.

Josef, quickly, come with me!

Well, colonel, have I earned my keep today?

Very impressive.

Or maybe a bit of good fortune.

I'll resist the temptation to celebrate

until we find the plane.

Bring me a piece of his clothing.

That chopper couldn't land around here.

They must have dropped them in a clearing

when they saw the parachute.

At least they haven't found the plane yet.

MARKOV: Look around.

Look around the ground for anything.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Oh... I don't want to die.

I... I don't want...

position...

location...

Where is the plane?

[WHEEZING]

[WHEEZING]

There.

Let's go.

The pilot. We should bury him.

Should we also hold a service, lieutenant?

Collect your squad. Move out!

Call the base. Alert the helicopter.

Have it stand by with the equipment just in case.

Lieutenant Stukel to Command Air Force.

Have the helicopter ready -- standing by -- with all the equipment.

This way! Quickly!

All right! Move! Move!

Move! Move! Move!

This must be an abandoned barracks.

There's stuff all over the place.

I found these boots.

I guess the best we can do

is bring these back to his family.

MacGyver...

"Follow me.

Starkoss."

He knew we'd come here.

Of course he did. He saw us.

Well, then why didn't he come after us? We're in East Germany.

Maybe they're trying to draw us closer.

Maybe Starkoss didn't tell them that he saw us.

Maybe we should get moving and find that plane.

Let's bury the pilot first.

We're here!

Come on!

Hurry.

Come on.

There it is.

Well done! Well done.

[GASPS]

Very dramatic.

You should faint, Starkoss,

for surely this is an overwhelming moment.

You have just ensured your personal supply of caviar forever.

I cannot talk. I just want to replenish my energies.

Replenish all you want. Lieutenant.

You men, spread out, patrol the area.

You are to gather every piece of the aircraft no matter how small.

- Yes, sir. - You, too, move.

Start here.

Markov to base.

I have located the wreckage.

You have a fix on our location.

Send in the removal team.

[WHIRRING]

[WHIRRING]

[WHIRRING]

NIKKI: Starkoss.

He took them right to it.

Well, he got here first.

But we can't let them leave with one piece of that cooling system.

With all these soldiers, what are we going to do?

We're going to have to destroy the plane.

That's a very good idea.

Had I wanted to have you taken prisoner,

I could have pointed you out to Colonel Markov at any time.

Yeah, we got your note.

NIKKI: How did you know we were following you?

How did I know?

But I brought you to me.

And why would you do that? What do you want with us?

After you destroy the plane,

I want to go back with you to the West.

- You want to defect? - STARKOSS: Yes.

And that be feather in your cap, no?

Well, I don't care about that.

But if you want to go, we'll sure take you.

Of course, you will have to wait until the soldiers have put

the remainder of the plane into a pile,

and then you can use your explosive

you've been carrying in your pack

and destroy the pieces.

It is good of you to come with him.

You will save his life.

And don't worry about your feet. They will not fail you.

How did you know?

It might be better to wait until night,

but you're an impatient man.

He knew!

He knew about my feet.

I mean, I've got blisters. I didn't tell him that.

Nikki, you're wearing oversized boots.

Blisters are a given.

He knew you were carrying explosives.

He knew I came here to destroy the pieces of the plane

when I found them.

Obviously, I'm not going to truck them

off the mountain in my backpack.

Maybe.

But he was right on both occasions.

And he found the plane.

Yeah, well, if he thinks we're gonna hang around long enough

for the Russians to take that stuff off the mountain,

then he's been reading the wrong minds.

Okay, now what are we going to do?

Well, you're going to stay put.

I'm going to give myself ten minutes to make it back here.

I'll use the explosion as a diversion,

grab Starkoss and go.

Listen, if I get hung up, we'll meet back

where we buried the pilot, all right?

MacGyver!

What?

[SIGHS] Don't blow yourself up.

Okay.

[MAN SHOUTING UNINTELLIGIBLY]

[SHOUTING CONTINUES]

Good.

The helicopter has just left the refueling station.

It should be here for the pickup within three hours.

Make the final sweep. Not a scrap shall remain here.

All in this area.

Keep going, keep it going.

Keep going, keep it going.

All right, hold it, hold it.

Stop, stop, stop...

Let's get it off here.

Okay, go forward.

MAN [AT DISTANCE]: All right, go forward.

[MEN SHOUTING AT DISTANCE]

[SHOUTING CONTINUES]

We finished.

Very good.

[MEN CONTINUE TALKING]

[TALKING CONTINUES]

MacGyver!

[GUN FIRING]

Look! Hey!

Fire! Hey, quick!

Quick, quick!

This way! Move!

[GRUNTS]

Come on!

MAN: Fire!

[GUNSHOTS]

Focus your fire on them!

Quickly!

[SHOUTING IN DISTANCE]

We must go.

We must go quickly.

The plane -- he has destroyed it all.

And probably himself.

[SIGHS]

Colonel, Starkoss is missing.

I saw him leave the camp.

COLONEL: That traitor.

Assemble the men and notify the border.

Begin a search, now.

Move.

And when you find them,

I want them shot.

Move out!

Let's go, quickly! Move!

[GRUNTS]

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

MacGyver! Thank God.

It's been hours. Where have you been?

Running and ducking, mostly.

- Were you spotted? - Probably.

NIKKI: What about the soldiers?

They're camped out at the crash site.

That chopper's got to be running on fumes by now.

Starkoss, how long will it take them

to get to a refueling base and back after sunrise?

Two, maybe three hours.

That'll give us 12 hours.

They'll have sealed off the border by then.

We'll never make it down the mountain in the dark.

We're trapped.

Well, maybe.

Maybe not.

Nikki, go out to the barracks.

Grab every piece of fabric you can find.

Curtains, tarps, tents, the lighter the better.

Go! Starkoss, give me a hand over here.

Help me get this refrigerator up.

Pull this grate off.

You worry.

Worry about the girl. You worry about me.

We shall not be captured. I know this.

Look, Starkoss, I'm trying to come up with a plan here.

Now, there's some welding equipment in the back room.

Could you get it for me, please?

I think it's about time we start dealing with reality.

You're a serious man. You're an intellectual man.

You're a man of the mind.

Why do you feel such guilt?

It's all right. She understands.

Your mother -- she forgives you.

What?

It's all right.

She understands.

You could not go to the funeral.

She forgives you.

You do not forgive yourself,

but she forgives you.

What kind of a dossier do you people have on me?

I couldn't be there. There...

Oh, you're good.

You're very good.

You've done your homework.

From the time I was a boy, I could see pictures.

Pictures of the mind.

And I could do things.

The state took me away, and I lived with the finest.

And I lived like a king.

But always with doctors,

always an object of study, always a freak.

From what I understand, you've made the most of your... gift.

If it is a gift I have,

it is a gift you would not choose to receive.

Pay dirt.

There's enough bedding and tents and stuff in the barracks

and in the storage rooms to outfit an army.

Good, keep it coming. I can use it all.

Uh, and grab the pilot's parachute.

The welding equipment.

Please?

Yes, colonel,

we are returning to base to refuel.

There has been no sign of Starkoss or the others

since we sighted the man near the abandoned mine last night.

Are the ground troops from the base on their way in?

Yes, sir.

They have established roadblocks

and are making their way up the mountain.

They should arrive at the abandoned mine site

in approximately three hours.

Good. By that time, we will be in a position

to cut them off from above.

When you return, we'll have their bodies ready for transport.

- Move out. - Yes, sir.

Let's go. Quickly!

Move, move, move!

This is the last scrap of nylon that I could find.

I hope this super-glue of yours works, MacGyver.

Well, it should if I melt it down right.

But we're gonna need more.

Run out of glue.

Something next for me, please.

Yeah, as a matter of fact.

Give me a hand with this. Here, keep stirring.

Come here.

All right. Push.

Keep moving!

Yes, sir.

We'll be there in one hour!

I feel time is running short.

Do you want to give me a hand here?

Quickly, let's go. Hurry!

Let's go!

Come on. Move!

Hurry! Move!

Got something for you.

A parachute? Why?

It's the pilot's reserve chute.

Ever use one of these?

Once I went skydiving on a dare.

Get your hands up.

What is this for?

Why are we doing this?

Do I have to spell it out?

Keep moving!

- Look. - What's that?

- A balloon?! - What's it doing here?

It's Starkoss! Fire!

Come on! Move!

[MEN SHOUTING]

[GUNSHOTS]

Cease firing. They're out of range.

Whoopee! Come here, MacGyver.

Consider that a professional congratulations,

because I thought we were dead ducks, but we made it!

STARKOSS: Thank you, MacGyver. Thank you both.

MacGYVER: You're very welcome.

Well, Starkoss, you're over and beyond the border.

You're home free.

Whoops.

- NIKKI: What is it? - We're out of gas.

But we made it across the border, didn't we?

Yeah. But are we gonna make it over that mountain?

We must gain altitude.

Well, let's steer this thing. Let's land it.

It doesn't work that way.

Balloons drift where they're going.

I've got to lighten the load.

Did that help?

It's not going to carry all three of us.

What?

- Nikki... - Oh, you can't be serious!

Look, you weigh more than I do.

Nikki, I'd do it, but you've got the chute and there's no time to switch.

You've got to go, now!

I'm sorry. There is no time!

Look, you said you did it before.

Just get clear of the balloon and pull the cord.

I can't! MacGyver, I'll get you for this.

So help me God, if I've got to walk all the way to Munich!

Go! Just go!

I'll see that Pete knows exactly what you've done to me!

MacGYVER: All right, she made it.

She's okay.

Now we got to deal with the mountain.

Come on.

Come on!

STARKOSS: Do not worry. We'll make it.

[BOTH YELLING]

STARKOSS: Hold on!

MacGYVER: All right. I'll take it.

Lucky your Nikki didn't drift back to the east.

Oh, she'll be all right.

Not too happy, but all right.

That woman -- you will come to love her.

- What?! - Yes.

No, no, no, no, no. No way. No.

I'm glad she's all right, but... trust me.

STARKOSS: No, MacGyver, trust me.

MacGYVER: Whoo-hoo!

Oh! What a flight! What a balloon!

Starkoss, we did it!

[LAUGHS]

Oh, we'll contact the American embassy

as soon as we get to Munich.

When we get to your country, MacGyver,

your people will want to talk to me, too, won't they?

Find out what I'm up to.

And get me a place to live very, very comfortably

with all the steaks I can eat, huh?

But I be prisoner again, wouldn't I?

I be freak again, isn't that so?

Goodbye, my friend.

You!

You rat!

You're the lowest!

I should have known there was a reason you gave me the only chute!

What's next, MacGyver?

Perhaps you'd enjoy dragging me behind a speeding truck.

Did it ever even occur to you that I could have landed in a tree

or in the middle of a busy intersection?

What if I hadn't spotted where you landed?

Did you ever consider that, Mr. Improvise?

And another thing... Wait a minute.

Where's Starkoss?

Don't tell me.

You didn't make him jump too, did you?
