All language subtitles for MACGR317

Some people spend their lives

trying to move up in the world.

My friend, Jack Dalton, was at the top of that list.

A dreamer who wakes up every morning with a new idea

that'll rocket him to the top of the economic ladder.

The trouble is,

because he was always in such a big hurry to get there,

he'd take the kind of short cuts

that would drop him a rung lower.

Living in this neighborhood was the result

of his last shortcut.

Two Eagles!

Hey, kemo sabe, how're you doing?

You know my good buddy MacGyver.

What are you doing sitting out here?

I was mugged.

- You all right? - Couple of young punks.

They got my wallet, my keys, food,

I couldn't do a thing.

Jack, you've got to get out of this neighborhood.

Now you go on home before they steal your tires.

Sure there's nothing I can do?

No, we got it under control.

Thanks for the ride home.

Come on, I'll get you cleaned up and fix you something to eat.

What is it?

You don't like eggs with chocolate sauce?

You make a better nurse than a chef.

Okay, so I'm not Betty Crocker or Florence Nightingale.

I am your friend.

Jack, my time has passed.

My people are scattered, lost.

No one knows about the old ways anymore.

The ways of the Wolf Spirit.

So you're a little down in the dumps.

Hey, look, I've been down once or twice, too, you know.

But look at me now.

Did I ever tell you about the time

MacGyver and I got thrown in this prison camp?

I used to have this uncle who heard about

this big cache of hidden money.

You ever hear of B.B. Bartel?

Well, anyway, my Uncle Charlie had this map, see,

and it said where this money was hidden,

so I figured, "Hey, I'll get myself thrown in this...

...thrown in this prison camp."

Boy, did I ever get thrown in.

Thing was, I fixed it so Mac would get thrown in right behind me...

...dynamite, throws it in the suitcase,

tosses it out in the tunnel.

Before I can say a word...

blam!

There's five million bucks worth of confetti flying around.

I tell you, it was enough to make a grown man weep.

The Mask of the Illehkam.

What?

You would say "wolf."

I would? Wolf?

Jack, I want you to do something for me.

Take me somewhere.

What are you talking about?

When I was a boy, my grandfather

took me to the sacred place of the Kaqwani

to visit the house of the wolf...

to see the Mask of Illehkam.

It's time for me to speak with the great Wolf Spirit

one last time.

Hey, you're not talking about dying, are you?

That's up to the Illehkam.

My people have been the keeper of the mask

since the days before the white man.

But the time of the Kaqwani is coming to an end.

There are very few of us left.

You must help me get there, Jack.

No white man has ever laid eyes on the face of the wolf.

You would have the honor of being the first

to know of its powers, its secrets.

Help an old man, please, Jack.

Well, first we'll need transportation.

Isn't that gonna mess up your shirts later?

You can just forget about it, Jack.

This is the first time off I've had in months.

I'm not gonna spend it chasing you around on some treasure hunt.

Oh, come on, Mac, where's your sense of adventure?

What happened to that will-of-the-wisp guy

I've come to know and love?

He's going skiing at a resort

where the greatest danger is an overpopulated hot tub.

Besides, you've always got ten other angles

to any story you bring in here.

I come to you asking for assistance

for a mission of mercy to help an elderly Native American,

and you shun me.

Well, I didn't come here to be shunned.

I wouldn't shun you.

Why should you shun me? I hate being shunned.

Jack...

what's this all about?

Everyday stuff.

All we gotta do is take Two Eagles

up to the Kaqwani Indian Reservation

so he can commune with the Wolf Spirit.

He wants to get in touch with his spiritual roots,

see some kind of mask. He's got this old stick.

It's got these landmark things all over it

that tell him how to get there.

Well, Two Eagles isn't the kind of guy that would string you along.

What's in it for you?

Not a thing.

Strictly a mission of mercy.

Of course, I did happen to place a couple of phone calls.

Do you have any idea what National Geographic might pay

for a photograph of this Mask of Illehkam thing?

Not to mention a first-person article.

See? I knew it. There had to be something.

Oh, that's cold, Mac, real cold.

I mean, we're talking history here, culture.

And a great old man who really needs our help.

All right.

You'll do it!

Why don't we do a little research

before we see what we're getting into, okay?

Oh, my man! "Research."

I love it when you talk science. I knew you'd come through.

Come on, Mac, we've been here two hours.

Can't you just take Two Eagles' word for it?

I mean, there's such a thing

as researching something to death, you know?

Shh! Jack, come here.

It says, "The Mask of Illehkam

is the most sacred object of the Kaqwani People,

also known as the Tribe of the Wolf."

I knew it.

We got the scoop of the century here.

Two Eagles says he remembers seeing the thing when he was a kid.

I'm going to see if there's some more pictures.

What's that reference number, 709...

Point one.

Point one.

He says we're gonna be the first white men to see it.

"The mask is assumed to be carved from cedar,

and adorned with inlaid gold

as was the practice of all Kaqwani representations

of the Illehkam figure."

"While the existence of the mask is unconfirmed,

the legend of it goes back for centuries."

Here's the book.

There's an old bone yard up near Pine Creek...

I knew Two Eagles was on the level.

Yeah, well, let's take along a reference book

just in case his memory gets a little fuzzy, okay?

Don't worry about him. He's got this walking stick I told you about

- that's gonna lead us right to it. - Talking stick, Jack, talking stick.

Talking stick, yeah, that's it.

Did you hear that?

The Mask of Illehkam.

That thing's nothing more than old man talk.

That's what they said about King Tut's Tomb until they found it.

Let's not lose them.

All right, you and Two Eagles get some stuff together.

I'm going to go back over to my place and get some gear.

It's gonna be cold out there, Jack.

All right.

Hey, Mac, you know that humongous

red and black parka? I like that.

Ooh, and boots. I need some boots.

Ten and a half?

Yes, Jack.

Thanks, Mac.

I really mean that. You got a heart this big.

Perry, we're about to get rich.

The way I've got it figured,

it's a good six-hour drive to the reservation.

From there, you and your stick will have to point the way.

We start here --

the main road into the reservation

off Highway 10.

From there, the trail will take us

to the Circle of Totems.

Wild. What then?

You mean to tell me hat stick has a map on it?

It was made by my grandfather

to provide a kind of road map.

Great.

So after the Circle, what then?

There we travel north.

The Cave of the Wolf can be found

beneath the spires of the Great Spirit.

- And the mask, right? - The Mask of Illehkam.

The Wolf Spirit.

This is gonna be great.

Are you sure you don't mind me taking a few snapshots, huh?

Your pictures will help preserve the way of our people, Jack.

And the mask will preserve my lifestyle.

Gentlemen.

What is this?

An opportunity of a lifetime, by my reckoning.

Perry...

Who are these people, Jack?

Garbage, if you ask me. Just give 'em what they want.

Well, you're supposed to be Kaqwani. What does it say?

It's the old pictograph language.

I can't read it.

He can. Come on.

Bring him along.

Hey, hey, hey, look, come on.

Come on, he's an old guy.

Give it a break, we'll work something out.

Come on, old man, the Wolf Spirit is calling.

Jack?

Jack, what's the matter? You all right?

Oh, man, they must have taken him.

Who, what? What are you talking about?

Two Eagles. Two guys grabbed him. One of them had a gun.

I think they were after the mask.

- How'd they even know about that? - I don't know.

- Well, do you want to call the police? - Forget it, I already did.

And?

Oh, I start talking about Two Eagles

and a wolf mask, they treated me like a nut case.

They said the Kaqwani Reservation's about 400 miles

out of their jurisdiction.

- What do you want to do? - Go after 'em.

They can't be that far ahead.

Two Eagles gave me a pretty good idea of where we were going.

All we got to do is high-tail it into Indian country

and head the bad guys off at the pass. What do you say?

- I say we're driving all night. - Don't worry, I'll spell you.

Nice piece of work.

Museum will pay a lot for this.

Aw, museums pay nothing.

I know an art dealer in Chicago who'll pay at least $200,000

for that wolf mask, no questions asked.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

You would sell out your own people?

What have they done for me, lately?

I look out for number one.

It's a long haul up to the reservation.

Where do we go after we get to the trail?

Well, we can make this a very unpleasant trip for you, chief.

I'm too old to be afraid.

Yeah, but you're not too old to be history.

You know, one way or another,

we're gonna figure out those symbols and dig up that wolf mask.

So you might as well make it easy on everybody.

We're going to be hitting snow up there.

Eh, don't worry.

I got a buddy top of Robertson Pass

who will set us up with snowmobiles.

Nothin' gonna stop us.

Nothing.

Huh!

What... is it?

Friend of mine.

You okay? You want me to take over?

No, no. I'm wide awake.

We just passed over the summit of Robertson Pass.

We should make the Kaqwani Reservation just after dawn.

We're making good time, then.

We should catch up to 'em by morning.

Hey, Mac, you don't suppose they'll hurt Two Eagles, do you?

No, he's all right as long as he's leading 'em

to where they want to go.

- Yeah, what then? - Just keep driving, Jack.

All right.

The next stop is the Totem Circle thing, right?

Huh?

What you're asking me to do is a sacrilege.

I'm gonna let you in on a secret.

You got five seconds, chiefy.

Don't be a fool, old man.

The mask is just another piece of wood.

The Mask of Illehkam is symbol of Kaqwani.

Your people, too.

Illehkam.

My father used to talk about it.

He thought if he worked a hard, clean life,

the Wolf Spirit would reward him,

like the tooth fairy.

Your father was a wise man.

My father was a fool.

Like you.

He followed the trap lines

till he died in his tracks out here.

That's not gonna happen to me.

I work for Grant. I drive a Camaro.

Hey, hey.

Bad trade for your soul.

Let's go.

Hang on tight, old man.

Two Eagles said it was the main trail off Highway 10.

Let's check it out.

What do you figure they had on the trailer?

Snowmobiles.

Right, look.

There's some tracks over here.

Look pretty fresh, too.

Mac, this is it. Look.

Here, on the tree.

This belongs to Two Eagles.

He left us a sign.

Well, I guess now all we have to decide

is how we're gonna go after 'em.

We can't drive through that.

Too bad you didn't bring your skis, we could've taken turns.

Funny.

Well, at least we can walk in and find the first stop,

the worship ground, the Circle of Totems.

Yeah, and we do have tracks to follow.

Come on, let's get our warm gear.

Man, this is too much like work.

Hey, Mac, think you can bend a branch or something

to make us a pair of snowshoes?

This the place?

Well?

He's found the totem.

It's Kaqwani, all right.

We're on the right trail.

Well, now you're cooking, old man. Which way now?

This is the totem of the Great Eagle.

When it stood, it pointed the way to the Cave of the Wolf.

Okay, okay. Which way?

North.

North? How far north?

Not far.

You'd better be right.

It's a long walk from home if we run out of fuel up there.

Let's go.

Your necklace. The eagles?

What happened to it?

I must have lost it somewhere.

Shall we continue?

How come you're so cooperative all of a sudden?

We are in Illehkam's world now.

He will decide my fate, and yours.

Aw, come on.

Come on, come on, let's get going.

Civilization!

Hello!

Nice doggie...

Oh!

He won't bite.

Not unless I tell him to.

This is the Kaqwani Reservation, in case you didn't know.

You need a permit to trap here.

Well, we're not interested in that.

We could use some information, however.

I'm Anna Lightfoot.

We can talk inside.

You can warm up by the stove, and I'll get you a cup of coffee.

Ahh...

We don't see many people up here this time of year,

unless they're poachers after the trap lines.

Well, we were kind of hoping you might know

where the old Illehkam worship grounds are.

What for?

A friend of ours, Jamie Two Eagles. He's in trouble.

We found his necklace on the trail.

Yes, Two Eagles.

He's of our tribe.

I met him when I was a young girl.

Well, we've been tracking these guys,

but it's kind of a slow go on foot.

They're after the Mask of Illehkam. You ever heard of it?

Yes.

It's part of my tribe's legends.

The Great Wolf Spirit is sacred to my people,

and if the mask is for real, it belongs to us.

Not if these guys get there first.

We were sort of hoping you might have a snowmobile for rent.

No, but I have something just about as good.

There's only two ways to get around here in the wintertime--

Horsepower and dogpower.

I prefer dog power.

Oh, they're great dogs.

Easy, Mac, they're part wolf.

They're not pets, for sure. They work for a living.

We've won the Band dogsled race three years in a row, now.

- I'm very impressed. - You should be.

Let me see, it's been a couple of years since I've done this.

"Hike" is go,

"gee" is right,

"haw" left?

You've got a good memory.

Gee haw? I like it.

What about stopping?

Say "whoa" and throw this against the nearest tree.

Oh, hey.

There's a brake between the skids, but give 'em lots of time to slow down.

We'll take good care of them.

They'll take good care of you.

Thanks, Anna.

You all tucked in, Jack?

Hike!

Hike! Hike!

Gee! Gee!

Don't worry about it if you fall off!

The dogs know the way home!

How about it, old man?

This is the place.

The spires of the Great Spirit.

The place where Illehkam lives.

We are near the place we seek.

It's not too late.

You can still turn back.

We'll turn back when we get what we came for,

and not before.

This is it?

Must have been the wind.

Must have been.

I'll tell you something, chiefy.

I'm tired of all this chasing around.

Now, where is the mask?

It is here that the ways of your people were born.

Do not shame them.

Hike!

Hike!

Well! Will you look at that?

Whoa! Whoa!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Looks like they might have stopped here.

I don't see any totems sticking up around here.

Maybe they're not.

Not what?

Sticking up.

I think Two Eagles is still trying to help us.

Yeah. This must be the ruins of the Circle of Totems.

Yeah.

Right.

What's bugging you?

Oh, I don't know.

Ever since Anna said they tried to avoid her place,

I've had this feeling...

Yeah? What about?

Well, if they didn't want to be seen with Two Eagles,

chances are they're not planning on bringing him back.

Let's go.

Hike!

Hike! Hike!

Hike! Hike! Hike!

Hike!

That's enough.

Ah! Here we are.

Perry, come on up here.

Some kind of a pin holding it.

No. Wait, wait, wait.

Hey, what's that?

Booby trap, huh?

So, that's why you became so cooperative all of a sudden.

You figured on us triggering it, didn't you?

Forget it, Grant. We've got the mask.

Let's just get out of here.

Oh, no, you don't!

No. He's an old man.

If the cold doesn't kill him, the wolves will.

Tie him up.

Hike!

Hike...!

Hike! Hike!

Wait. Wait.

Whoa!

Snowmobiles!

We're not gonna sneak up on anybody with these guys.

Let's stash 'em in the trees.

Come on, Perry, let's get out of here.

This place is starting to give me the creeps.

Sorry, old man.

Come on, Perry, you're dragging your feet.

I got a bad feeling about all of this, Grant.

I don't like it.

No Two Eagles.

Ah, he's still got to be inside.

I think we're looking for trouble, Grant.

I think we should take it back.

Take it back? Why?

Because of the old man?

He's got one foot in the grave anyway.

Come on.

It's not just the old man.

The Spirit of the Wolf is part of my people.

Oh, since when?

Perry, you and I have been stealing beads and trinkets

out of the graves of your people for three years.

Careful.

You're not gonna let a little old legend scare you, are you?

Believe me,

you're gonna sing a different tune

when we get away from all this mumbo jumbo.

I want you to relax.

You'll like it all right when you get that money in your hands.

Let's get out of here.

Take a look.

That's Two Eagles' talking stick.

Oh, wow!

Two Eagles!

Are you all right?

I'm all right, but they got the mask.

Yeah, we know. Take it easy.

I shamed my people.

I led them here thinking I could trap them here forever,

but I failed.

No, you did what you had to do.

You're lucky they didn't kill you.

I'm already dead.

Gonna have to cut you loose.

Hey, Mac, forget that little red one.

Use this.

Jack, no!

Huh?

Jack?

Jack?

Yo.

You all right?

Okay. Man!

Lift, Jack. Lift.

It's no use.

It's the justice of Illehkam

that I die here in a place I was sworn to protect.

I'm only sorry I have to take you with me.

Hey, we're not dead yet.

MacGyver's gonna get us out of here, aren't you, MacGyver?

- I haven't got a clue. - Mac, that's not like you.

This door's over a foot thick.

It's just wood, we...

...we can burn it down.

Yeah! Yeah, that's it.

We'll just burn a hole right through it and walk right out of the hole!

Jack, think asphyxiation.

Oh, yeah.

We've just got to find a way to lift it, that's all.

Yeah, you bet! Lift it. How?

Well, this sand poured out of a shaft inside the wall here.

That's the booby trap.

Sand comes out, door goes down.

Big door goes down.

So big we can't budge it.

Well, the shaft has got to run up and down here.

There should be some kind of a piston behind it.

If we can get that to go up...

We could shove some high pressure water in there maybe?

If we had some.

The door is sealed forever.

We must prepare ourselves.

Let me see that stuff.

What is it?

Copper and zinc, I'd say.

Finely ground.

He's onto something.

We're saved!

It's a long shot, Jack, a real long shot.

I'll take it, I'll take it. What do we do?

Well, the idea is to pack a charge at the bottom here,

and force the explosion back up into the shaft.

I got it -- the explosion drives the piston up,

and it raises the door and we walk right out of here.

- No, not quite. - No?

No, if it works at all, the door's gonna

lift a foot, maybe two,

and then come crashing right back down.

Mac, this is very tough on my nerves.

Two Eagles, that hemp on your belt.

Dip it in oil, make me a fuse.

Jack, get that board and find a log, line 'em up at the door.

You got it.

It is here that the ways of your people were born.

Do not shame them.

We are in Illehkam's world now.

He will decide my fate and yours.

Now what?

I'm out of gas.

Damn.

Must have run low on fuel lugging that old man around.

But we can get some gas at that cabin we passed on the way in.

Come on, get on.

Mac, I sure hope this is gonna work.

So do I.

Let's get that board over here.

All right, Two Eagles.

Ready when you are.

Yeah.

Two Eagles, let's go!

It's gonna break!

Go for it! There's no more powder!

I told you. We made it.

My lucky hat!

Got it! Safe!

But not the mask.

Well, let's try to get it back for you. Come on.

What can I do for you fellas?

Well...

our other snowmobile ran out of gas a way back.

We'd like to buy a few gallons, if we could.

Come on inside. I can help you with that.

I'll just get a container off the shelf.

So, what brings you up this way?

What is this?

That was gonna be my question.

The old man said he lost this on the trail.

Somebody's got to be tracking us.

Those friends of his.

They're in for a big surprise when they get back here, aren't they, lady?

Perry?

Go hide the snowmobile.

You're not gonna get away with this.

Whoa! Whoa!

Looks like one of them ran out of gas.

Which means they'll be looking for more.

Anna Lightfoot's place.

Maybe they filled up and moved on.

And if they haven't?

Right. Anna's in big trouble.

Here they come.

Keep her out of the way.

Perfect targets.

Don't let him do this.

Tie him up.

How did you know it was a trap?

Well we knew they had to stop here for gas,

and there was always a chance they knew we were on their trail.

I think you're gonna live.

The old man.

We left him in a cave.

I'm sorry, old man.

You were right.

The Illehkam has returned your soul.
