[THEME SONG PLAYING]

Mr. Thornton should've been here an hour ago.

Vice President Mantu is asking where he is.

Uh, Miss Hendrix,

I'm sure he just got hung up somewhere.

That's no excuse to insult foreign dignitaries.

I don't look upon it as ins...

See?

[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]

Sorry I'm late.

Looks like I'm right on time.

Just.

Miss Hendrix. Very efficient.

Chopper's coming.

Everybody ready? We're feeding live.

ENGINEER: All right, stand by.

In five, four, three, two...

I'm Janet Blake, coming to you live from the Municipal Helipad,

where we're awaiting the arrival of President Abu Dakru,

of the African nation of Kimbala,

on this, the last leg of his state visit.

BLAKE: This has been a whirlwind tour

for the popular African leader.

It began in New York, with a speech

before the United Nations General Assembly.

Then on to Washington, where he received a standing ovation

at the Convention on Human Rights

for his support for peacekeeping efforts in East Africa.

Later, during a state dinner at the White House,

President Dakru pledged to strengthen Kimbala's trade ties

with America and its western allies.

He was praised by our own president,

who said Kimbala is a cornerstone for peace and democracy

in that politically turbulent region.

President Dakru will wind up his state visit

with a gala banquet tomorrow night,

during which he will present medals to two American citizens.

Kimbala's rich oil fields and political stability

make it one of the strongest trade allies

the U.S. has in East Africa.

President Dakru is making his first visit here

to thank the U.S. for developing a major irrigation project

to combat the crippling drought that struck Kimbala last year.

Vice President Mantu and his wife are here to greet him.

The vice president has been here the last few weeks

negotiating the trade deal President Dakru will sign

at the end of his trip.

Thanks for covering.

Yeah, what's going on with you?

Helen said she'd been trying to reach you all weekend.

THORNTON: With all the security preparations

I had to go through for this state visit,

I thought I deserved a couple of days off.

You took a vacation?

Without filing your itinerary in triplicate?

[CHUCKLES]

Next, you'll tell me you had a good time.

I found a beautiful mountain stream.

It was just me and the salmon.

Like a dream come true.

DAKRU: A pleasure to meet you, sir.

This is Peter Thornton of the Phoenix Foundation.

My people owe much to your organization

for the development of the irrigation project.

We thank you.

We're glad we could help, Mr. President.

Actually, it was MacGyver here who discovered the way to divert

the mountain runoff to the drought area.

Ah, MacGyver, of course.

Our country is greatly in your debt.

And the pilot who helped you, too.

Ah, Jack Dalton.

Yeah, couldn't have done it without him.

I am looking forward to pinning medals on both of you.

We must be going, Mr. President.

Will you excuse me?

Certainly.

Couldn't he just send the medals?

It's the highest honor Kimbala can award a non-citizen, MacGyver.

I'm grateful -- don't get me wrong --

but formal ceremonies, speeches, tuxedos...

HENDRIX: It's called protocol, also known as manners.

I suggest you don't forget yours tomorrow,

and remind your fly-boy buddy, Dalton, to do the same.

WOMAN [ECHOING]: Jack...

Jack Dalton.

We're waiting for you.

Don't be afraid.

Where am I?

[ECHOING] Through the double doors.

Don't be afraid.

Come, Jack.

Come to me.

WOMAN [ECHOING]: From the bottom of my heart,

I salute you.

From the bottom of my heart,

I salute you.

From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

From the bottom of my...

Hey, pal.

Hey, you.

What's wrong?

[UNINTELLIGIBLE RADIO TRANSMISSION]

You okay, buddy?

What are you doing out here?

You tell me.

Is this some kind of a joke?

I'm not laughing.

- How did I get here? - Good question.

Come on over here to the car.

You got anybody I can call?

Friends? Family?

[GRUNTS WITH QUIVER] I'm staying with a buddy.

His name's MacGyver.

MacGyver, what took you so long? My feet are freezing.

I got icicle toes.

I called, Mr. MacGyver.

Do you know this man?

Guilty as charged, officer.

I was just cruising by and saw him wandering around here.

It looked like he was sleepwalking.

Sleepwalking?

MacGYVER: You mean you've never walked in your sleep before?

DALTON: Not a step.

I'm telling you, MacGyver,

I don't remember walking to that fun park.

MacGYVER: Well, has anything been bugging you lately?

DALTON: Not a thing.

Can you believe it, Mac?

All these years of sleeping like a baby,

and all of a sudden I'm the Midnight Rambler.

Are you sure you weren't just coming off a weekend bender?

Drinking?

Moi?

MacGyver, you wound me.

Well, where have you been the last couple of days?

With her.

Her? Who's her?

We met at Phil's Tux-for-Bux.

I was getting measured for a penguin suit

for the shindig tomorrow.

What can I say? It was just me and her.

Like a dream come true.

Does "her" have a name?

Guess so. She never got around to telling me.

That sounds like true love to me.

[SIGHS]

Check in next time, will you?

- Where are you going? - To bed.

You can't leave me down here on my own.

What if I doze off and my feet decide to do the walking again?

Sleep in your shoes.

[SIGHS] How about a life jacket?

In case you haven't checked lately, this house is a boat.

I could wake up in the ocean.

Or worse, I could not wake up on the bottom of the ocean.

All right, okay.

You sleep in the bed upstairs.

I'll sleep on the couch downstairs.

That way if you start roaming, I can keep an eye on you.

Don't worry about me.

Hey, you mean it?

I really appreciate this.

If there's ever anything I could...

Jack...

go to bed.

Thanks, Mac.

Night.

MAN [WITH AFRICAN ACCENT]: I waited until they were both asleep

before returning here.

Are you telling us that Jack Dalton escaped

from you by walking in his sleep?

- Yes, sir. - [GRUNTS]

MS. MANTU: Thank you, Tabur.

Go back to the houseboat.

Watch them.

Tell us if anything happens.

Yes, madam.

Is that necessary?

Didn't you hear him?

If MacGyver finds out what happened to Dalton,

we are ruined.

Even if he does, he cannot stop us.

I have finished the president's speech.

Read the last line.

"From the bottom of my heart, I salute you."

When Dakru says those words, he's a dead man.

I should never have let you talk me into this.

It's all too risky.

Great leaders take great risks, my love.

You must have faith.

By this time tomorrow, I will make you president.

[FOOTSTEPS]

WOMAN [ECHOING]: Jack...

Jack Dalton.

We're waiting for you...

Don't be afraid.

Through the double doors.

Don't be afraid.

[ECHOING] Come, Jack.

Come to me.

Through the double doors.

Don't be afraid.

Come, Jack.

Come to me...

DALTON [DREAMLIKE]: MacGyver.

What are you doing here?

Who's dead?

You killed him.

[GASPS]

[EERIE VOICES SINGING]

Pete!

No, it's not true!

[CREAKING]

Jack.

Wake up, Jack.

MacGyver.

You were walking in your sleep again.

Oh, what a relief. Then Pete's not dead?

What?

I was looking at him, Mac, lying in the coffin, dead as dirt.

Take it easy. You were just dreaming.

Dream nothing. This was pure, 150-proof nightmare.

That's all it was. It's over.

[SIGHS]

- MacGYVER: Relax. - Oh.

Let me make some breakfast.

Well, I'm glad you can shrug it off just like that.

I'm still shaking.

Look at me. Look at my hands.

How did that get there?

MacGYVER: Jack...

what's going on?

MacGyver! MacGyver, wake up!

- What? - MacGyver!

- What?! What? - Is it really you this time?

Is it really me?

Jack, settle down.

You're not making any sense.

You're telling me.

I think I'm losing my mind.

I'm hav... I'm having a problem.

I think I'm really losing my mind.

MacGYVER [OVER PHONE]: The police said he was sleepwalking.

He said he's never done it before.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Uh, well I thought it'd be a good idea

to let a professional look at him.

MacGYVER: You can?

Oh, that's great.

Yeah, that's no problem.

All right, we'll see you then.

Doc Beatty says she can see you

at the Phoenix lab in about an hour.

I don't like it.

I've never been to a shrink before.

Jack, she's a psychiatrist.

Whatever.

It's all mumbo-jumbo anyway.

Come on. Give it a try.

Maybe she can help you sort things out.

- Trust me. - [LAUGHS]

Okay. Just this once.

But no couches or inkblots, okay?

Right, Jack. No couches, no inkblots.

[KEYPAD TONES BEEPING]

[PHONE DIALING THROUGH]

Mrs. Mantu.

MRS. MANTU: Yes, Tabur.

TABUR: MacGyver is taking him

to a psychiatrist at the Phoenix Foundation.

- And then what? - I'm not sure.

Shall I follow them?

No, Tabur, do not follow them. Return to the hotel.

MacGyver is taking Jack Dalton to a Phoenix Foundation psychiatrist.

[SCOFFS]

What if this psychiatrist discovers your programming?

MacGyver could figure out our entire plan.

Then we will change the plan.

Jack Dalton is not the only puppet on our string.

[GULLS CAWING]

Jack, seeing a psychiatrist is no big deal.

Keep your voice down, will you?

It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Just relax and run with it.

[PHONE RINGS]

Let me get that. I'll be right back.

MAN: Hey, you could tell he didn't know a leader from a sinker.

MAN 2: Whoa, these beginners.

MAN: So, he goes on telling me what kind of bait to use.

Can you believe it?

I tell him, "Look, if you think you know more about fishing than me,

then from the bottom of my heart,

- I salute you." - [LAUGHTER]

MAN 2: That must have riled him.

MAN 1: Yeah, you know it. So I told him,

"Why don't you do me a favor and go stick your head in a bucket?"

Huh? Imagine him, trying to tell me about fishing.

The biggest catch he ever made was that rich wife of his.

MacGYVER: Jack?

You looking for something, son?

MacGYVER: Jack?

MacGyver.

What happened?

I don't know.

But I think we better find out soon.

Come on. Let's get you changed.

[GULLS CAWING]

Can you still hear my voice?

Yes.

So, where are you now, Jack?

I'm walking down a long hallway.

DR. BEATTY: And what do you see?

DALTON: Double doors.

BEATTY: Do you open them?

I'm scared.

Don't be afraid, Jack. Open the doors.

[DOOR CREAKING]

DALTON: I'm in a room.

BEATTY: Describe it.

DALTON: It's big.

Lots of tables.

BEATTY: Where is the room?

In the moon.

BEATTY: Look around, Jack.

What else do you see?

My name in gold.

BEATTY: What happens next?

I'm sitting down.

Where, Jack?

[SHALLOW BREATHING]

I can't remember.

You have to.

Look around and tell me what you see.

DALTON: I see a shadow.

MRS. MANTU: From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

There's a voice.

What does the voice say?

MRS. MANTU: From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

He's holding something.

MRS. MANTU: From the bottom of my heart, I salute you...

MRS. MANTU: I salute you, I salute you...

I can't!

MRS. MANTU: I salute you.

I salute you, I salute you, I salute you...

Stop. No, I can't.

He's trying to remember, but his subconscious won't let him.

Listen, Jack.

The nightmare is over.

Good.

I'm going to count to three.

When I get to three, you will wake up.

You won't remember anything that we've talked about.

- Do you understand? - Yes.

One... two..

three.

Hey, doc, how'd I do?

You did fine.

You're a pretty good subject, actually.

Just rest a few minutes.

I'll be back.

Oh, uh, by the way, Jack,

what have you done in the last few days?

Hmm.

I met the most beautiful lady.

What can I say?

It was just me and her. Like a dream come true.

[SIGHS]

You know, that's exactly what he told me,

word for word.

What you just heard, my friend, was a preconditioned response.

Preconditioned?

You mean he's been hypnotized before?

Calling this hypnosis is like comparing an H-bomb

to a firecracker.

Oh, I've deprogrammed enough brainwashed DXS agents

to recognize the symptoms.

Well, how do we deprogram him?

BEATTY: It isn't easy.

There's a key, probably a word or a phrase,

that triggers him like tumblers in a lock.

But without that key,

we can't get in and find out what he's programmed to do.

How do we get that key?

It takes time, but I'll get the people

and the equipment together, and we'll start tomorrow.

DALTON: Oh.

What's the matter?

Déjà vu, I guess.

What? Do you remember something?

- I'm not sure, but... - [ALARMS SOUND]

HENDRIX: There! There! That's what I mean.

We can't have this contraption being set off

by our guests' jewelry.

All right, we'll lower the sensitivity.

They'll never even notice it's there.

Pete, can we talk to you about something here?

- Yeah, sure. - First things first, MacGyver.

I want to make sure everybody's clear about the ceremony.

Everything has to go off without a hitch.

MANTU: I'm sure it will, Miss Hendrix.

Gentlemen.

You must be Mr. Dalton.

Hi.

I was hoping for an opportunity

to congratulate you personally before the ceremony.

Good to see you. Who are you?

This is Vice President Mantu of Kimbala.

[LAUGHS]

I'm writing the president's speech for tonight.

I thought you might offer some personal memories

of your work in our country.

MacGYVER: Actually, uh...

uh, we have something to work out with Pete.

MANTU: It will only take a moment, I assure you.

Uh, this way, MacGyver.

I want to run over the procedure with you.

- MacGyver? - I...

[SIGHS]

Pete, would you keep an eye on Jack?

Sure.

Mr. Thornton, I need your signature, sir.

Now, Mr. Dalton,

tell me all about it.

Well, to tell you the truth, Mr. Vice President,

it was all MacGyver's show. I was just the sky jockey.

You are much too modest.

What you did was heroic.

From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

What's the matter, Mr. Dalton?

You look pale.

You must be ill.

You know he's right, Jack. You look terrible.

It must be something I ate.

Just came on all of a sudden. I...

- MANTU: Yes, perhaps... - [GRUNTS]

...a breath of fresh air.

It's a good idea. Excuse me.

[ALARM SOUNDS]

Oh.

We've got to adjust that thing. Would you excuse me?

Gentlemen, the sensitivity has got to be lowered.

The noise is way too annoying.

Hello, Jack.

Excuse me, lady, I'm really under the weather.

From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

And now you are under my control.

You do remember me, don't you?

Yes, Edith.

Excellent. Follow me.

Yes, ma'am.

Now, at precisely 8:00 p.m., the president will make his way

to the podium and start his speech.

You and Mr. Dalton will be sitting here, at this table.

Mr. Thornton will be here, and I will be here, at his right.

And please, once you're seated,

don't play musical chairs.

You must be in your assigned places.

BEATTY: What else do you see?

DALTON: My name in gold.

His name in gold.

Please try and pay attention.

Now, when President Dakru calls your name,

you and Mr. Dalton will approach the podium on his left.

DALTON: I'm sitting down...

HENDRIX: ...the furniture, so this is very important.

DALTON: My name in gold.

HENDRIX: ...one thing tonight, MacGyver, remember this.

On his left. Remember that. His left.

Once you're there, the president will have some more to say.

Try and keep your hands out of your pockets,

and for pity's sake, act like you're interested

in what the man's saying.

MacGyver, we're not finished!

Pete? Where's Jack?

Well, the last time I saw him, he went out for some fresh air.

- He wasn't feeling well. - Oh, great. I got to find him.

Would you tell me what's going on.

Pete, I think Jack is involved in a plot

to assassinate President Dakru.

Are you comfortable, Jack?

Yes, thank you, ma'am.

Good.

And do you understand your new orders?

Yes.

Tabur will take you to a place.

He will give you a gun.

And when you see MacGyver, you will kill him.

Yes, ma'am.

When I see MacGyver, I will kill him.

MacGYVER: I can't find Jack anywhere.

Has he been back here?

No sign of him.

Listen, what's going on?

Jack Dalton has done a lot of crazy things in his time,

but an assassination? I don't believe that.

Doc Beatty says he's been brainwashed.

Come here. Let me show you what I found

under his place at the table.

It's gone.

Who else has been in this room besides us?

Just our security, a couple of workmen and Hendrix.

What's gone?

There was a holster under this table,

and whoever put it there probably planned to sneak

a gun in after the security sweep.

Where did it go?

They got rid of it, which means they know I'm on to 'em.

Is there a problem, Mr. Thornton?

No.

Nothing serious.

Good.

Do you think Hendrix is in on it?

I think we'll have a better chance of finding out who is

if we don't tip our hand.

Okay. Without tipping our hand, what's next?

We've got to find Jack before he hurts someone or himself.

He could be anywhere.

I know. I'll start looking.

All right, I'll stick around in case he turns up back here.

Right.

If he does, grab him.

Tie him up, sit on him, whatever it takes,

but don't let him around President Dakru.

No one saw the holster removed?

The subject took it without anyone noticing.

You see, Edward, nothing is ever lost

if one plans ahead.

After all, with so much at stake,

why risk everything on just one assassin?

It will be just as I promised.

When the president dies at the hands of the American official,

it will destroy the trade treaty.

You will return to Kimbala

crying vengeance for Dakru's blood.

The people will rally around, cheering your name.

Once we have won their hearts, nothing is beyond our grasp.

With my guidance

and the support of our new allies,

you will become the most powerful man in all of Africa.

With you at my side.

I am not important.

You are all that matters, Edward.

I am doing all of this for you.

Jack?

Jack, you here?

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello?

THORNTON: MacGyver, any luck finding Jack?

Uh, no, Pete, doesn't look like he made it back here.

Well, the banquet begins in an hour.

What about that fun park where the police found him sleepwalking?

Well, it's worth a shot. I'll swing over there now.

- Keep me posted. - Yeah.

[SIGHS]

BEATTY: Where is the room, Jack?

DALTON: In the moon.

[CREAKING]

MacGYVER: Jack?

Jack, you in here?

Jack, it's me.

[CACKLING]

[CARNIVAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[CHORUS OF MANIACAL LAUGHTER AND SCREAMS FROM PROPS]

[ROARING AND HISSING]

[CHORUS OF MANIACAL LAUGHTER AND SCREAMS FROM PROPS]

[GRUNTS]

[RATTLING]

[SIGHS]

DALTON: I'm walking down a long hallway.

BEATTY: And what do you see?

DALTON: Double doors.

My name in gold.

EDITH [RECORDED]: From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

BEATTY: What does the voice say, Jack?

EDITH: From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

DALTON: I see a shadow.

Jack.

[GUNSHOT]

Listen to me, Jack.

Somebody's making you do this.

But I've got the key now.

Listen to me.

From the bottom of my heart,

I salute you.

All right.

That's it.

I'm in control now, Jack.

And I'm turning you off.

Put the gun down.

[GUNSHOT, YELLS]

They changed it.

EDITH: From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

[GUNSHOT]

From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

From the bottom of my heart...

Jack...

Go ahead, Jack, take your best shot.

Over here, Jack.

Kill me again, Jack. Go ahead.

Again, Jack.

[GROANS]

[GROANING]

[PANTING]

It's all right, Jack. It's over.

It's over, Jack!

It's me.

It's Mac.

It's all right.

Where are MacGyver and Dalton?

This is an outrage.

I'm sure if we just give them a few more minutes, they'll get here.

Just in case they do miss the ceremony,

would you accept the medals in their place?

I'd be happy to.

Luckily, I wrote another version of the president's speech

- for such an emergency. - Edward...

You were right, dear.

I found the new speech in your briefcase.

You were... prepared for something like this?

In international politics, one must plan

for every emergency, Miss Hendrix.

This is where you spent last weekend.

There was no beautiful girl from Tux-for-Bux.

They created her and that lost weekend

to cover your absence while they programmed you.

I don't remember this place.

Well, do you recognize this?

[ON TAPE]: From the bottom of my heart, I salute you.

Edith.

Mantu's wife?

Yeah.

They used that phrase to activate you.

Why couldn't you use it to switch me off?

I don't know. They must have changed it

when they thought I was getting too close.

Well, at least the president's safe now.

I, uh, wouldn't count on it.

Two chairs.

Two assassins.

They must have programmed somebody else

in case they needed a backup.

Whoever it was had to have been here with you.

Now come on, Jack, think. Who else was brainwashed?

I can't...

[SIGHS]

All I can remember is spending the weekend

with that beautiful lady they planted in my brain.

Weekend.

Two lost weekends.

It was just me and her.

Like a dream come true.

It was just me and the salmon.

Like a dream come true.

That's it.

The other assassin... it's Pete.

[APPLAUSE]

Ladies and gentlemen, honored hosts...

I thank you for your warm hospitality.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[TIRES SQUEAL]

MacGYVER: I should have known it was a setup

when Pete steered me to that place.

I never told him that's where the police found you sleepwalking.

I don't get it. Even if Pete hears the key phrase,

how are they gonna give him the order to shoot the president

in front of a big crowd like that?

- The Star of State. - The what?

The medal. He's been conditioned to shoot whoever's holding that medal.

There are two Americans in particular whom we wish

to honor this evening:

Mr. MacGyver and Mr. Dalton.

Their deeds saved thousands of my people

from starving to death.

They are true humanitarians,

but most important --

true friends.

And now I will ask Mr. Thornton

to please come up and accept the medals

for Mr. MacGyver and Mr. Dalton.

[APPLAUSE]

Hold it, fellas.

We've got trouble. Come on.

Wait a minute!

[APPLAUSE]

Although they can't be with us this evening,

please convey to them

the respect and gratitude of my people.

[ECHOES] Please convey to them

the respect and gratitude of my people.

This is our country's highest award,

but it is only a small token of our gratitude...

[SCREAMING]

Catch, Edith!

The respect and gratitude of my people.

Do not shoot.

Put it down.

Do you hear me?

Put it down.

MacGyver!

What happened? What's going on?

It's all right, Pete. Welcome back.

Edith...

I think you just blew your right to remain silent.

When I count backwards from ten, you will begin to wake up.

Ten, nine...

you're starting to awaken now...

eight, seven, six,

your eyes are opening...

five, four,

three, two, one.

Hey, Pete.

How are you feeling?

Oh, like I've been asleep for days.

Well, in a way you have been.

Just take it easy and you'll be fine.

Boy, who would've thought a classy lady like Edith

would try an assassination?

Well, it happens.

I'll tell you one thing.

I never want to hear the words "the respect and gratitude of my people"

again as long as I live.

Or "from the bottom of my heart, I salute you."

MacGyver?

MacGyver!

This isn't funny, Mac.

Mac?

What?

- [LAUGHING] - Oh...

[GROANS]
