Cut! Okay, okay.

Get her out of the tank!

Dry her off and rearrange for the stunt!

Roxy, real nice job.

Pretty good.

You think so?

So, MacGyver, what'd you think?

I'm impressed. It's a catchy tune.

Roxy!

Roxy.

You're playing it too light.

We need a more sober attitude.

Maybe try to be a little more serious about what you're singing.

Look, Eve, I'll decide what attitude I should have.

It's my tune, and I like the way I played it.

Roxy, we're doing a video about drugs!

About how getting high on drugs is bad news.

It doesn't call for sexy looks and toothy smiles.

What about it, MacGyver? You said it worked for you, right?

Oh, yeah, thanks a lot.

Come on.

Roxy, I'm a fan, not the director. She might have a point.

Dan, get everybody ready for another take.

We're gonna do it again, and again, and again,

Until we get it right.

All right, everybody, reset for another take!

MacGyver,

when you came to me about this Phoenix Foundation anti-drug gig,

I cancelled some nice dates for you.

I know, Roxy,

and we appreciate it, a lot.

Listen, we really do.

I mean, Rock Against Drugs would not carry half the weight that it does

without people like you donating their talents.

I'm glad you appreciate it,

but I didn't count on having to deal

with a lot of garbage from dragon lady over there.

Look, if you had as much talent as you have mouth,

you would just begin to be the kind of star you think you are.

- Now look, ladies, ladies... - That's it!

That's it, fellas, I am out of here.

If you want me back, get rid of her.

- Roxy, come on. - Wait!

What...

Well, now what?

You're the boss.

You want to fire me? Fine.

Better yet, replace her and the Phoenix Foundation

will wind up with a better product

because I'll tell you something.

That girl is not the singer she used to be.

She's lost something.

That's it for today, Dan.

Then again, maybe that's it.

All right, everybody, that's a wrap!

Make it safe and walk away.

If there's a tomorrow, we'll give you a call, let you know.

Well, what do you think, MacGyver?

Is there gonna be a tomorrow?

I don't know, Pete. Not much I can do about it.

Well, you have been friends with Roxy ever since you were kids.

I mean, that should count for something.

Well, we'll find out.

Listen, mister, I have had it with you.

Get out of here, Frank, you lousy crook.

I said, get out!

Soon as we get something straight.

This complaint you made to the district attorney

about how you were cheated out of some of your record royalties.

Some?

You call ripping me off for more than $300,000, some?

Look, Roxy, out of the whole album we cut,

you had one lousy hit on the charts.

Now how do you think it got there?

Not on your pipes, babe. They're gone.

- Have been for months. - What?

I'm singing as well as I ever did. Better.

You want to fool yourself? Fine.

But I made that song a hit through promotion,

and promotion costs money.

Oh, not that much.

Not over 60% of everything I took in on that album. No way.

You got no complaints.

You get royalties in North and South America.

My people get the rest of the world. That was our deal.

No, no, that was your deal, not mine.

Who do you think you're playing with, some sort of bimbo?

Calm down, okay?

Maybe we can work out something on the next album.

You want to work something out, Frank? Fine!

You work it out with the D.A.!

But let me tell you something.

The D.A. isn't gonna be much interested in a deal

when he sees the evidence I put together.

You understand something, sweetheart.

I'm not in this business for myself.

This evidence, if you use it to blow the whistle,

you'll be in more trouble than you ever wanna know about.

Hey, hey, whoa! Whoa. What's going on here?

None of your business. You remember what I said.

Nice guy.

My manager. Ex-manager, that is.

Turns out he's a thief.

I'm looking for a new one. You interested?

Handling temperamental talent? No way.

Not me.

It sure was a lot simpler when I was first starting out.

And all I had to worry about was getting Sammy Caruso

and his dumb band to play in my key.

Do you remember Sammy?

Oh, yeah, Sammy.

He kept trying to drag your twin sister up on stage to play a set.

He never could tell you and Carla apart.

How's she doing?

Carla is Carla.

All right, let me guess.

You're here to try to talk me into going back to work on the video.

It shouldn't be such a hard sell.

Come on, Roxy, you've been out there.

You see what drugs do to kids.

Some your own fans.

You're right.

And that's what Rock Against Drugs is all about, isn't it?

Okay, MacGyver.

Tell Eve I'll be there tomorrow.

You can give me a lift home.

I'd like to show you my place.

Deal?

Deal.

You know, MacGyver, I decided to work on this video

as a favor to you, right?

- Yeah. - So you owe me.

What do I owe you, Rox?

Have dinner with me tonight.

That's a pretty heavy price to pay, but, uh, it's for a good cause.

No, no, no, no. Not that one.

I'm in the penthouse. I got my own elevator.

Penthouse, eh?

I'm impressed.

At last.

When I think of all the times I tried to impress you

when we were in high school.

I was impressed.

Oh, really?

Took you long enough to ask me for a date.

What happened?

Oh, my God.

It's dead.

Nothing works. What are we gonna do?

These cable mounts are loose.

And I don't think they're gonna hold.

What?

Give me your hand.

It's gonna go.

Grab the pipe.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Heights still get to you, huh?

Yeah.

That door is bolted shut. I don't believe it.

They're all that way except for the penthouse.

Oh, you're kidding.

That means we're gonna have to free climb.

You remember how to do that?

Just like when we were kids.

Toe hold and finger jam on a 90 degree pitch.

I still remember, how about you?

Yeah. Go ahead.

MacGyver.

You got it?

Yeah. Keep going.

You've been practicing.

It's one of those things you don't forget.

Watch yourself.

Watch it!

All right, come on.

You okay?

I've had better days.

You should think about buyin' a house.

This, uh, guy you had the fight with, this manager?

Rogan.

Yeah, you think you made him mad enough to sabotage the elevator?

It wasn't Rogan.

It was her.

Carla?

Why would you say that?

Because my sister hates me.

MacGyver!

Hi, Carla.

Oh, I can't believe it!

Hi.

Oh, look at you.

You're still the best looking guy on the block.

It's great to see you.

Whoa!

With a welcome like that, you mind if I come in again?

So what are you doing here in Chicago?

Oh, well, I talked Roxy into doing an anti-drug video.

We're shooting down at the Lakeshore Studios.

- You and your causes. - Yeah.

That's just great.

So did Roxy tell you where to find me?

No, phone book

I was just on my way to the studio, thought I'd stop by.

What do you got going here?

Oh, wow!

- You've really gotten to be good at this. - Thanks.

I remember that.

It's Lost Arrow, right?

You remember?

Oh, yeah.

Especially the polished marble to the summit.

Mmm, it is a hard climb to forget, isn't it?

I still love to climb.

I just wish I could have kept Roxy into it,

But it seems all she's interested in now is her singing.

I understand the two of you are having some problems.

What makes you say that?

Well, she said she thought you were trying to hurt her.

What is it?

Did she have another accident?

What do you mean, another accident?

About a month ago, she had a car crash

because her brakes went bad.

And a few weeks before that, there was a fire in her apartment,

supposedly an electrical short circuit.

So what happened now?

Oh, her private elevator went haywire.

And she thinks I had something to do with it?

Terrific.

I thought she was finally cured of dumping her paranoia all over me.

Whoa, whoa. What? What?

It was kept really quiet,

but Roxy had a serious breakdown.

She spent about a year at Pine Valley Hospital.

God knows I love my sister,

but this psychotic behavior of hers is really getting to me,

And I just don't know what to do about it anymore.

Roxy?

MacGyver.

- Roxy showed up? - No, not yet.

Oh, wait a minute. Here she is.

Spunky kid.

Coming in here after what you two went through

yesterday in the elevator.

- I'll see you inside. - Yeah.

I just saw Rogan coming out of your motor home here.

He was probably looking for the evidence I gathered against him.

But he won't find it, not here.

Is there anything I can do?

Yeah.

You can start believing in me, MacGyver.

Do you think I invented those things I told you about Carla,

that I imagined all of it?

- You talked to her? - She called to gloat.

To laugh at me for making up stories about her.

Roxy, I don't get it.

What happened between you two?

Call it jealousy, sibling rivalry, whatever.

And it's all coming from Carla.

Now that you're back, you've been added to the list.

Carla's jealous of you and me?

Come on, that was high school.

We're ready for your rehearsal, Roxy.

One minute.

Look, MacGyver, it's not just you.

She's jealous of every man who's ever come into my life.

I've had to put up with a lot from Carla.

Don't you turn against me, too.

Have we, uh, got a problem?

I don't know.

Something's going on between Roxy and her sister.

Quiet, please. Stand by first positions.

Rehearsing. And playback!

And action!

Come on!

1, 2, 3, 4!

??Come on in, gonna party all night ??

??We're gonna rock 'cause we won the fight ??

??On the war on drugs ??

??Here in paradise ??

??Ohh ??

??If the people don't see this heaven on earth ??

??Wasting all their time, don't know what it's worth ??

??They've given up ??

??They don't know how to live their ??

??Higher life ??

??We're living the ??

??Higher life ??

??Oh, yeah ??

??And you know we won't give in ??

??You got one life ??

??And we're here to win ??

??Higher life ??

??We're living the ??

??Higher life ??

??Oh, yeah ??

??We're staying clear, will be staying clean ??

??Cause this life means everything ??

??Oh, yeah ??

??Stay clean! Stay straight! ??

Cut!

That's better, Roxy.

We're gonna do it one more time. Dan, one more time.

Okay, people, one more rehearsal,

then we're going for a take.

Well, this thing you mentioned between Roxy and her sister.

Do you think that's what's bothering her?

Carla told me Roxy had a nervous breakdown a couple of years ago.

A breakdown?

Yeah, and all Roxy can talk about is Carla's jealous streak.

Pete, can you pull some strings for me?

I think I should talk to the people out at Pine Valley Hospital.

Sure, I can do that. I'll get right on it.

Great.

Roxy?

Is that you, Frank?

Come on in. Fix yourself a drink. I'll be right out.

I really appreciate you changing your mind about bringing charges, Rox.

It was the right decision.

Now we can start to think about your next album.

You're right, Frank.

It's time we straightened everything out.

The papers are on the terrace.

Have a look at them. I'll be right out.

Ok, thanks.

MacGyver, over here.

Hey, Pete. Where's Roxy?

She's up in her apartment. They just finished questioning her.

- It's pretty rough. - She see it happen?

No. She wasn't home at the time.

Well, how'd he get in?

Well, the police aren't sure.

Apparently, Rogan was looking for some evidence that she had on him.

They found it on a table out on the terrace.

Where was Roxy when this was going on?

Doing her morning workout down in the health club.

You know, I only had one run-in with this Rogan,

but he didn't strike me as the type that would commit suicide.

Ah, he'd been drinking. You never know.

The police think that the evidence that Roxy had on him

was more than he could deal with.

Until something better comes along, that's the theory.

Mmm. I better check on her.

MacGyver, the office did make contact with the Pine Valley Hospital.

The resident psychiatrist will see you any time.

Great. Thanks, Pete.

Roxy?

Hi.

You okay?

I don't care what the police said.

Rogan wouldn't commit suicide.

I mean, he would fight me to the end for those royalties.

You were down in the gym when all this happened?

Yeah, it's a good thing I was, too,

Because if I wasn't, I'd be the one lying down there dead.

What do you mean?

Oh, MacGyver, do I have to spell it out for you

after what happened on the elevator?

What, Carla?

Did you tell the police that?

I couldn't say something like that to the police

without having any evidence.

I know it was her.

Well, the police said there was no sign of a break-in.

So how would Carla or Rogan get in here?

Carla had a key.

She always had a key.

She used it to come up here and freshen up whenever she was in town.

I...

I just never asked for it back.

Could've changed the locks.

Yeah, I suppose I could have.

There's just something so final about changing a lock.

I'd always hoped that someday we'd have the chance to reconcile.

Be sisters again, like it used to be.

Remember all the fun we used to have?

Yeah, I do.

That smile.

You have the nicest smile of anybody I've ever known.

Uh... I don't get it, Roxy.

I mean you and Carla used to be as close as two sisters could be.

You used to protect each other like wild cats.

It doesn't track that she'd try to hurt you.

Look, MacGyver, you haven't seen us in a lot of years. Things change.

All right. Things aren't the same,

but we're not talking about some petty misunderstanding here.

We're talking about murder.

I already told you, my sister hates me.

Well, does that mean she hated Rogan, too?

Why did he have to die?

Because he was close to me.

She thought I was in love with him.

I was once.

So she figured that by hurting someone you loved,

it was the same as hurting you?

That's the way Carla's mind works.

- Mr. MacGyver? - Yeah.

I'm Dr. Farrell.

Nurse tells me you're the one from the Phoenix Foundation

who wants to talk about Miss Yates.

She was a patient here a while ago.

Yes. Uh, admitted in May two years ago.

Nervous breakdown, severe mental depression.

Her sister, now there was an angel of mercy.

I remember her well. She came to visit almost religiously.

When was she finally released?

About, uh, 9 months ago.

Remarkable girl, Roxanne.

Big rock and roll star, but always stayed close to her roots.

I wish all my patients had someone close to them like her.

She was better for Carla than all the medicines and doctors.

Better for Carla?

Carla was the patient?

Not Roxy?

Yes, of course.

Carla Yates.

Carla?

Carla?

That girl is not the same singer she used to be.

She's lost something.

She was better for Carla than all the medicines and doctors.

Carla was the patient? Not Roxy?

I still love to climb.

I just wish I had been able to keep Roxy into it.

You've been practicing.

It's one of those things you don't forget.

??No, you won't give in ??

??We've got one life ??

??And we're here to win ??

??Higher life ??

??We're living the ??

??Higher life ??

??Higher life ??

??We're staying clear we're staying clean ??

??'Cause this life means everything ??

??Oh, yeah ??

So this is the blue screen everyone talks about?

Yeah.

Is this gonna cost more?

No, actually less. It's gonna save going back to location.

See, by shooting her against this blue screen,

we can optically place her against any background we've already shot.

- So we save money? - Yeah.

Cut!

That's a cut.

So that does it for you, Roxy. Thanks.

I'll call you in for the rough cut when it's ready.

All right, everybody, that's a wrap!

Thank you very much for a great shoot!

Roxy, uh, I just wanna thank you, too.

You know, doing this video is a... a really important public service,

and you can be proud of yourself. Thanks.

Is that Carla?

Your sister?

What's she doing here?

Carla!

Carla, where are you?

Carla?

Why, Carla?

Why are you doing this to me?

Why?

Oh, Eve, there's a couple of questions

about final costs I wanna clarify.

Give me a minute, and then meet me in my trailer.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Well, it's in the can, as they say.

Is Roxy around?

Yeah, I think so. Last time I saw her, she was looking for her sister.

- Where? Which way? - I don't know, maybe in her trailer.

What's the matter with you? You look spooked.

Give me a minute. I'll tell you.

So what's this about?

Well, this is Carla's fingerprint.

And this is Roxy's.

Take a look.

They're identical.

MacGyver, identical twins don't have identical fingerprints.

I know, Pete. You better shoot a call to Dr. Farrell.

Get him over here quick.

Roxy?

Roxy isn't here, MacGyver.

I've been looking for her myself.

Come on down, Carla.

You won't find her up there.

Then where'd she go?

She went away.

A long time ago.

She went away?

Yes.

First I couldn't figure it out.

But the director noticed something.

- So did her manager. - What?

Well, her voice,

it wasn't the same.

I don't understand.

She didn't sing the way she used to.

Then the elevator.

The way Roxy climbed.

Roxy's a good climber.

Not that good.

Not like a cat. That's not Roxy.

And then I took a close look at your painting.

What about it?

It tells the story of what happened the last time

you went climbing with Roxy.

I hate that painting.

The two of you were climbing.

Roxy was in the lead.

Something happened.

I don't wanna talk about it!

She fell, didn't she, Carla?

Roxy fell.

I...

And you tried to pull her back, didn't you?

Do you remember that?

You tried to pull her back?

Come on, Carla, try to remember.

You tried to pull her back.

But I couldn't.

I told her to swing into the ledge,

but she couldn't reach it.

That's right. That's right.

And all the time she was pulling on you,

forcing you closer to the edge.

She was pulling on me.

I tried to pull her up.

But you couldn't.

I tried.

Oh, my God, I tried!

She knew that, Carla.

She knew you were trying.

I was slipping.

I just kept slipping.

Roxy knew that, Carla.

She knew she was pulling you with her, so she took out her knife.

No!

Just the way you painted it.

No! No!

And she cut herself free.

Roxy!

She cut herself free. She did it to save you, Carla.

No.

Roxy's not dead.

Yes. Yes, she is.

Carla, you gotta let her go.

You gotta let her go.

She's alive.

She's not dead.

I won't let you do this to her.

I won't let you kill her.

She's alive!

Yeah, I'm glad they found you, doctor.

Uh, we've got a problem. It's... It's the Yates girl.

Carla?

Carla?

I can't let you kill Roxy.

Carla!

It's all right, Roxy.

No one's gonna hurt you.

They won't hurt you.

They won't hurt you, I promise.

They won't because I...

I won't let them.

It's okay.

It's okay now.

It's okay 'cause I...

I know what to do now.

They won't find us.

We'll both go away together.

Don't do it, Carla! Please.

I have to. It was my fault.

I know that's what you thought.

But believe me, it was not your fault.

You hear me? It wasn't your fault.

I loved her so much.

I didn't want her to die.

So you brought her back the only way you knew how.

By becoming Roxy.

Carla, you gotta let her go.

You've got to let her go.

MacGyver.

She's dead.

My sister's dead.

It was an accident.

You know that now.

It was an accident.

It's nice here, MacGyver. It's quiet.

I can do a lot of painting.

Take care of yourself, huh?

Smile for me.

I love that smile of yours.

I'll always remember it.

Is she gonna be all right?

Well, you know that old bromide about time healing all wounds.

It's not that easy. It takes a lot of work.

Would it help at all if I stopped by once in a while?

A great deal.

More than anything else, she needs a friend.
