Control tower, all clear.

So, how did you do this trip, MacGyver?

Do you think they'll have a settlement today?

We're gettin' close, Danielle.

That's wonderful.

The Azmirs have been at war

with the Samadians for a long time, haven't they?

Yep.

Why is the Phoenix Foundation running the peace talk?

Why not the United Nations?

Well, sometimes a private organization

can come up with a fresh approach,

kind of cut through all the red tape.

So the Phoenix Foundation asked you to be part

of negotiating a settlement?

Sort of.

I volunteered.

Do all my questions bother you?

No.

If they stopped, I'd worry.

Thanks.

I'd really like to have a job like yours.

I mean, I'd like to do something important for peace some day.

Well, Danielle, you are.

Consider what you're doing as

shuttle diplomacy.

Good luck, MacGyver.

The 9th point of agreement

specifies the condemnation of

and the cessation of all terrorist activities.

And the 10th, and, uh, final point of agreement,

the establishment of a neutral border corridor

between the Azmir Heights and the Samadian Desert.

I think we're close.

Gentlemen, good news.

The Republic of Azmir

has agreed to sign this peace proposal

with one amendment.

The immediate withdrawal of all Azmir

and Samadian troops from their present positions.

President Habad, if you can agree to these terms,

we have our treaty.

I would like a moment with my advisors.

Good work.

Whatever happens, I wanna thank you both.

You've given a tremendous effort.

Listen, without your organization's funding and persistence,

we would never even have gotten up to the table.

Right now I just hope President Habad

is listening to his own heart, and not his minister of defense.

He doesn't seem happy with the proposal.

Well, Yanif thinks peace comes from the barrel of a gun.

But the progress we've made, Mr. President,

has been the result of military pressure,

not some promises on paper.

If we sign the peace agreement,

we risk what gains we've made.

Perhaps it is time to risk peace, Yanif.

Now, gentlemen,

it seems that we have benefited by the objectivity

of a private organization promoting peace.

You have succeeded where governments have failed.

Mr. Walker, your choice of the Phoenix Foundation

to promote this initiative,

it was very astute.

Then you'll sign?

Well, when, as you say, we finish crossing the T's and dotting the I's,

I will sign.

Excellent.

Then with your permission, I would like to arrange for a meeting

with the Azmir delegation for this afternoon.

We should be able to clear up all the details by then.

That's fine.

I wanna push this signing through as soon as I can.

We should be through here by 3:00.

I'll make the arrangements with the Azmirs.

Gentlemen, lunch is waiting on the terrace.

Ah, I am so happy for this, Mr. Walker.

Sir, it's not such a hot day that we need the umbrellas.

Take it down.

Oh!

Well, the table looks nice.

MacGyver. MacGyver, come join us.

I am told the hotel has prepared an excellent lunch.

Oh, no, thank you. I'm not very hungry, actually.

I think I'll take a little walk.

Excuse me.

Move.

Move.

Everybody down!

Everyone inside!

Move it! Move! Move it!

This is Yanif. What is happening?

I have MacGyver down here. He saw everything.

Keep him there.

What's going on?

Your people know anything?

My men have spotted a sniper.

I'll notify the Swiss police.

Watch the trail. The police will be here soon.

Aren't you taking your differences with Habad a little far?

Habad's decision proves he's too weak to lead us anymore.

Give me the gun.

What are you doing?

Giving the police their sniper.

It's got his prints all over the weapon now.

Shoot him.

This is Yanif.

Put me in communication with President Habad.

What is it, Yanif?

We have shot the sniper.

Is he an Azmir?

An American.

It's MacGyver. He's dead.

What in God's name went on here?

We'll know more after a proper investigation.

He used this gun.

No way. Not a chance.

MacGyver never fired a gun at anyone in his life.

Where is he?

I want the full story now, step by step.

I saw him take aim and I tackled him as the gun went off.

I got the gun away, but he ran.

I followed and shot him.

- And he went down over the cliff. - That makes no sense.

MacGyver is not an assassin.

He's been meeting on the mountain with the Azmirs all week.

They must have paid him or even blackmailed him to do this.

Absolutely out of the question.

Then why did he suddenly leave the hotel at lunch?

I don't know.

But I'll tell you one thing, you've killed the wrong man.

Well, where is he?

He's gone.

Then he's still alive.

We must find him before he tries again.

Is there another way down this cliff?

There is a private road by the International School.

It's the only way.

We must get to him first.

Ah, here's your mother arriving now.

Hello.

In you get. Bye-bye, now.

See you later. Bye-bye.

Hi, Daddy.

Mr. Thornton,

the signing is set with the Azmirs for 3:00 on the mountain.

But first, President Habad insists

on going over the plan details with you personally.

Gentlemen, you are going to have to handle this without me.

Peter,

we need you.

You developed this proposal.

Right now MacGyver needs me.

He's been shot. I have no choice.

If you refuse to see this process through personally,

then I will not sign the agreement.

Mr. Habad, I can't abandon my friend.

He may be dying.

The Swiss police will find MacGyver, and take care of him.

Look, your friend may or may not be a traitor.

But at this point, what is more important?

The life of one man,

or the thousands of lives that this agreement could save?

It's your choice, Mr. Thornton.

Peter, the best thing you can do

is to keep this peace process going.

It simply won't work without you.

All right.

All right.

Listen, when you find MacGyver or if you hear anything,

call me immediately, will you?

Lisa,

I have a message for you, my dear.

Lisa,

Your father just called from his office in Zurich.

Don't you want to hear what he had to say?

That's okay. He probably just forgot it was Parents' Day.

That's okay.

Your parents had an appointment with a lawyer.

They couldn't cancel.

I know.

They're getting a divorce.

I guess I didn't help.

I got on their nerves a lot. I'm pretty demanding, you know.

Sending me away to school didn't help them sort things out either.

It just cost them a lot of money.

If they get divorced,

you are not the reason,

they are.

Do you understand that?

Give it time, Lisa.

Mr. Blake,

may we speak with you a moment, please, sir?

I'll see what they want.

Miss.

Excuse me, miss.

Over here.

No, wait. Wait... wait. Please.

Give me a second to explain.

It's me the police are after.

Wait, please.

I need your help.

What happened? Why are they after you?

Well, it's...

It's kind of confusing.

I tried to stop a...

a shooting and I got shot myself.

Now the police think I'm an assassin.

I'm not.

Please, believe me.

What's your name?

MacGyver.

What's yours?

Lisa.

Thank you, Lisa.

You need a doctor.

Yeah, I think you're right.

You know any that make house calls out this way?

Then I guess it's up to you.

What's up to me?

I need you to help me.

Me? Oh, no, I couldn't.

I'm sorry, I can't. I'm no good at anything.

Whoa... whoa... whoa... whoa, wait.

I'm not the right person, really.

- I never know what I'm doing. - Says who?

Well, you know, everybody.

Well, everybody used to say the world was flat, too.

Lisa,

you can do anything you want to do

if you put your mind to it.

Does your school have a nurse?

Good.

I need a first aid kit.

I can't do that. I'll get caught.

There's the police and the headmaster and...

Lisa, please, I really need your help.

But what if I'm caught? What if they stop me?

Well, then at least you tried,

Didn't you?

What do you say?

All right, I'll try.

Thank you.

You'd be safer hiding in the boathouse.

It's just over there.

Okay.

No luck. Nothing.

There is no sign of him here.

We should go back and search the school.

Oh! God!

I made it.

Yeah, you sure did.

What's that?

Well, it's the reason this boat won't start.

It's a broken spark plug.

The electrode is snapped off.

Feel like giving me a little hand with some medical attention?

I'm kind of lucky you were around today.

It's Parents' Day.

I'm always around on Parents' Day.

Mine never make it.

They had an important appointment.

They're getting a divorce.

Yeah, so I heard.

What do you think about that?

Hey,

me you can talk to.

I'm a captive audience. You got nothin' to lose.

It doesn't matter what I think.

Lisa,

If you got somethin' to say, you should say it.

Or it's just gonna tear you up inside.

I think their divorce is taking the easy way out.

It's like sweeping dirt under the rug.

They're not dealing with the dirt, they're just moving it around.

Did you tell them that?

No, they're too busy yelling at each other.

If they'd just listen,

then maybe they'd hear what the other person was saying.

Or how they were feeling.

How are you supposed to know what another person needs

if you don't even listen to them?

I mean, you can't just talk about your problems.

You have to look for solutions.

Sounds like pretty good advice.

You really think so?

Yep.

I also think you should tell your folks exactly what you just told me.

It's probably too late to stop them from getting a divorce anyway.

Yeah, probably.

And it's probably too late to try and fix this boat, too.

You aren't just gonna give up, are you?

No.

Are you?

Good choice.

My men will continue searching the school.

Could I ask that you and your men help us and check the grounds again?

Now what?

I'm gonna need a nail.

What for?

Well, if I can weld it to the spark plug,

it'll replace the electrode.

How're you gonna weld it?

With wire, battery and jumper cables.

How do you come up with this stuff?

Oh, the stuff's already here. I just find a different way to use it.

Wanna grab me a piece of that wire?

They're here.

He's coming in.

Oh! You scared me half to death.

What are you doing here?

I go to school here.

Maybe I should ask you the same thing.

Lisa! Go back to the main building, please.

These men are looking for a criminal.

Check the boathouse.

I saw somebody earlier.

He didn't look like one of the parents.

Over there. In the clearing.

I'll show you.

I'll go and tell the police.

He was right over here.

Search over there in the trees.

This is getting us nowhere.

There's no sign of him.

If Habad learns the truth, we'll face a firing squad.

Habad won't reach the top of the mountain alive.

The bomb will take care of him.

Hey.

How did this blood get on your scarf?

Hurry. They're right behind me. I'm coming with you.

No way.

Yes way, go.

It's 2:00.

We have only one hour to stop Habad from signing the treaty.

Are you all right?

I feel great.

You do understand you could've been killed?

I know. But I've never had so much fun.

It was not a smart thing to do.

It was your idea.

My idea?

I had something important to tell you.

You said if I had something to say to say it.

It would have been kind of tough to tell you

if you were halfway across the lake, wouldn't it?

Well, yeah, but...

What could have been that important?

You tell me. Who's Habad?

He's the president of Samadia.

The one I'm accused of trying to assassinate.

Well, I heard those men talking and they're planning to kill him.

Is that important enough for you?

One of them said Habad would never reach the top of the mountain alive.

Does that mean anything?

They're meeting at the summit.

Anything else?

Something about a bomb.

- Any word on MacGyver? - Nothing.

They're conducting a thorough search, Peter.

Just keep your mind on the peace accord.

Yeah.

We're too late.

Lisa, listen to me.

I want you to tell the police exactly what you told me,

but only the Swiss police. Nobody else, all right?

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna try to get to the tram before they do.

Go.

- Excuse me. - Where did you come from?

There's gonna be another assassination attempt on the president.

- He won't reach the top... - I see.

Now, how did you get here?

Did you hear me? It's the truth. They said the bomb would...

Tell me, how does a young girl like you

find out about an assassination?

If you'd be quiet and let me finish, I'll tell you.

I'd like to conduct a security sweep of the gondola, please.

Thank you.

We've just conducted a sweep of the area.

All right.

- All secure. - Okay.

I'll take the next car.

Is the president in that car?

- Yes, he is. - Let me use your radio.

Hello.

I'm calling to warn the president.

There's gonna be another assassination attempt.

My friend MacGyver came here to warn you.

Your own men are trying to kill you.

That's a lie.

That's him. That's the man I told you about.

I'm sorry, sir. You'll have to come with me.

That's MacGyver.

No, no, no. Don't shoot, please, please!

I'm sure he's trying to help us.

Or kill us.

Listen to me.

MacGyver is climbing the tower towards this car right now.

You've got to tell the president everything you know.

They've got a gun aimed at MacGyver.

I go to the International School.

That's where I met him.

I heard this man Yanif say he had a bomb

and the president wouldn't reach the top alive.

Please, listen to her.

I trust that man out there with my life.

You can, too.

Put away your gun.

There's a bomb under this gondola.

The explosive could be unstable.

Stop the car.

All right, where's your emergency rope?

Here.

What are you going to do?

I'm gonna have a look at the bomb. Undo that, will you?

MacGyver, you're wounded. Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm all right, Pete.

Feed that rope through those straps.

Come on.

Give me the end.

Got enough?

How much slack do you want?

Give me some more.

What is it?

He's got a thing about heights.

All right, let me down a little at a time.

A little more.

You okay?

Yeah, fine.

Let me down a couple more feet.

More.

How's that?

That's good, right there.

Can you defuse it?

I can't even reach it.

Oh! Man!

Anybody got a knife?

I do.

It's got a lot of different blades.

I know.

Way to go, MacGyver.

MacGyver.

- Hi. - Hi.

Listen, I stopped by the school to say goodbye

and they told me you were here.

- Thanks. How are you feeling? - Um, I'm better. How about you?

Great. Guess what?

My parents are here. Both of them. Together.

They heard everything on the news and came running.

How are they gettin' along?

Well, I told them what I told you,

and I've got them to sit down at the same table.

- It's a start. - Yeah.

I kind of lifted a few principles from you and Mr. Thornton's peace proposal.

Yeah, like what?

Well, for starters,

everybody's got a right to have a place they can call home, right?

And the right to live there peacefully, without fighting, right?

Right.

So I told them I wanted to live back at home.

The three of us on a trial basis.

What'd they say to that?

We're negotiating the fine points.

They've agreed to a cease-fire.

That's terrific. Good for you.

Thanks for caring, MacGyver.
