Thanks.
You're welcome.
Jones and Taylor just got it.
How many guys we got Ieft?
Just you and me.
I think the best route is due west, about 100 yards.
MacGyver, I wanna tell you how much I appreciate your being here.
Save it. Till we get that Iittle silver box back.
Here. Just for insurance.
Pete, you know how I feel about those things.
Yeah, I do, but you're defenceless out here.
No, just weaponless.
Come on.
There it is. The silver box is hidden right under that bridge.
Uh-oh.
Looks Iike we've got company.
Maybe I can use that rifle after all.
You're gonna use a rifle?
Absolutely.
- What are you doing? - Gonna try and get his attention.
MacGyver, the Iast thing we need is to bring him over here.
No, that's exactly what we do need. We just won't be here to greet him.
Why don't you keep watch while I do this.
I haven't seen anybody else.
What's that? A time-delay fuse?
Yeah, should draw his attention over here.
While we go to the bridge.
Right. - Good idea.
Let's go.
Diversion worked. We're home free.
No, the timer worked.
We're not done yet.
Go ahead. I'II keep watch.
I guess you're right, Pete, this is pretty easy.
Aah! I'm hit.
Pete?
There goes the trophy again.
Hey, Jeff, I wanna talk to you.
Be back in a second.
Congratulations.
And it was nice to meet you, Kelly.
Thanks. You weren't so bad out there yourself.
Oh, boy, I really gotta hand it to you.
Not only do you not come to the competition this year,
but you end up winning. And with a ringer.
You mean Kelly. Yes, I mean Kelly.
- Where'd you get her anyway? - She's Joe Henderson's kid.
Henderson? You mean the Joe Henderson?
The Bushmaster champ?
Joe's the reason I couldn't show up today.
What's the matter, some kind of trouble?
Joe was on a cargo flight for us to Panama City.
His plane went down over San Perez.
Oh, no.
- Is he dead? - No, he's okay.
They're calling him a spy, Pete. They're holding him for questioning.
Joe Henderson a spy?
- That is ridiculous. - That's what I've been telling
- the State Department. - And?
And bureaucrats got their own way of dealing with things. SIow.
It's just I can't hold off telling Kelly any Ionger.
Mr. Moore.
Didn't I tell you we'd get it? Didn't I tell you, Mr. Moore?
You sure did, Kelly. It's just great.
My dad is gonna flip when he sees this.
Yeah, you bet he is.
Look, there's something I need to talk to you about, Kelly.
You should hear her talk about that trophy.
Yeah.
Well, she's got something more important to think about now.
Have you exhausted diplomatic channels?
I've pulled every chain in the State Department.
The country down there just won't budge.
Joe's being used as a scapegoat.
They're planning a trial in two days.
Followed by an execution.
Oh, nice. Really nice.
I want my man back home, Pete.
I didn't build this company by sitting on a sofa
waiting for bureaucrats to push paper.
I need your help in putting together a crack rescue team.
Come here.
There it is. There's your rescue team.
Kelly.
Honey, you shouldn't be working here now. Why don't you go on home.
I mean, haven't you found out anything yet?
Are they gonna Iet my dad go?
Well, the State Department's still making inquiries,
but I think we're getting real close to a solution.
I thought you cared about your employees.
About my dad.
Be patient.
I'm working on it.
Now go on home, huh?
Well, here's the aerial map
and the reconnaissance information for San Perez.
You know, I can see MacGyver's way in,
but how's he gonna get out when the job's done?
Well, the chopper'II pick you up here, section H, 0800 hours, day two.
Who's my contact on the inside?
Lieutenant Raul Parra.
He's gonna be acting as public defender for Henderson's trial.
He's gonna meet you at a Iittle church at the edge of town
tomorrow at 2100 hours.
How well does the pilot know the area?
Don't worry about him. He's our best man.
- One question. - Shoot.
You've got a dozen pilots on your payroll. Why you?
Never could keep my spoon out of the broth.
Three minutes to San Perez, section C.
AImost time for the green Iight. Better get ready.
I'II see you soon.
Not soon enough, partner. Go get him, huh?
Any time you're ready.
- What are you doing here? - Relax. I'm just Ieaving.
What kind of stunt do you think you were playing up there?
You realise you could have killed yourself?
Relax. I know what I'm doing. I've been trained in this.
The first thing to do is chart our distance to the border of-
No, the first thing we're gonna do is get an explanation from you.
Okay, here it is: I'm saving my dad.
I've got it all planned out.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe the rest of us had a plan too?
And that your coming along messes everything up?
Me mess things up?
I overheard you guys talking.
You don't even have a gun.
I've got tear gas, combat knife, 9 mm automatic and ten clips.
Kelly, this isn't a game.
People down here don't come back to Iife when you blow a whistle.
I know that.
I just want my dad back.
That's what we all want.
But you being here doesn't make it any easier.
I can take care of myself.
That's what worries me.
Guess I don't have a choice, though, do I?
Nope. Come on, you're wasting time.
Kelly.
You're going the wrong way.
Colonel, I'm Lieutenant Raul Parra.
Welcome, Iieutenant.
I understand you have been appointed by the central government
to represent the American in court.
- That's correct, sir. - Good.
I've been told there's no real proof of his guilt.
The problem is being corrected as we speak.
CIassified documents have been planted in his plane.
PIease have a seat, Mr. Henderson.
I'd Iike you to meet the public defender who's been assigned to represent you.
Let's not play any games. No one's gonna defend me.
I know I'm innocent. You know I'm innocent.
So get on with whatever it is you're fishing for.
Well, I do have a proposition you might consider.
- Thought you might. - PIease sit.
Since the coup two months ago,
we've all been under the scrutiny of our new government.
They want you tried and found guilty by tomorrow.
And the crimes for which you have been charged
carry a mandatory death sentence.
There is an alternative.
What kind of alternative?
If you were to give us a videotaped confession before the trial,
our government will reduce your sentence
to no more than twenty years in prison.
But I didn't do anything.
That is not the issue any Ionger, is it?
You have till tomorrow morning to decide.
You know, this is a Iot easier than I expected.
I thought we'd be dodging bullets in the jungle.
And instead we're taking a nice Iittle cruise into town.
I think the cruise just ended.
I hope I'm wrong, but it Iooks Iike the police are gonna check the bus.
Sometimes they grab people who don't have the right papers.
And sometimes they shoot them.
Get your passport ready.
- I don't have a passport. - You what?
I don't have a passport.
Quick. Sneak out the back door.
Hide until they're done checking people.
I Iike American.
Nice hat.
Let me see your passport.
What is your business here in San Perez?
Tourist.
We have no tourism to speak of in San Perez.
What are you really doing here?
Run, Kelly, get out and run!
Hold it, hold it.
It's a misunderstanding.
Big misunderstanding.
Now, why were you hiding from us?
She Iost her passport.
She was scared. That's why she was hiding.
Let me see.
Tear gas.
Miniflares.
Ammunition.
Everything a tourist needs.
It seems you have good reason to be scared.
Americans get no special treatment under the new regime.
Including revolutionaries.
We're not revolutionaries.
I mean, we're...
PIease go on.
I said, go on.
Habla.
We don't need-
Sir, the weapons are mine. Leave him alone.
Very noble, but you should be concerned
about your own fate.
Down on your knees.
Now.
You're Iucky that soldier didn't shoot you back there.
I figured, what would Dad do?
He's quite a guy, huh?
I'II never be that great, for sure.
Do you have to be?
This place gives me the creeps.
Where is everybody?
The military must have moved them out,
centralized the people to control them.
Where's my dad?
Up there.
What are we waiting for?
We have to hide until dark.
- Why? - My contact.
I'm gonna meet him at the church on the edge of town at 2100 hours.
Until then we stay put.
Hungry?
I guess I Ieft my rations with my passport.
No problem.
So you and your dad are pretty tight, huh?
Mm-hmm.
He's my mom and my dad.
See, my mom died right after I was born.
Any brothers or sisters?
No. I guess I'm his daughter and his son.
Which one of you is here to rescue him?
Two Americans smuggling weapons
escaped past your checkpoint, sergeant?
Yes, sir. But our forces are spread so thin-
Are you making excuses?
They will be caught. And executed immediately, sir.
Colonel, if I may suggest,
you might want to put them on trial first.
They could be part of a rescue operation.
- What do you mean? - Exposing a U.S. rescue attempt
could further prove Henderson is a spy.
The central government would be very pleased.
Yes. That's a very good idea.
Put every available man on the search.
Find them and bring them to me.
And, sergeant...
...get rid of that cap.
Yes, sir.
Where's that contact of yours?
We're a Iittle early.
MacGyver?
You must be Lieutenant...
Parra.
How's my father?
He's injured his Ieg, but he's well otherwise.
Is he gonna be able to make it to the pickup point?
He'II have to.
AII the roads will be blocked now that Colonel Salazar knows you are here.
It was my understanding you were coming alone.
Mine too.
Getting one of you inside the compound will be risky enough.
I'm afraid you can't come.
Who are you to say I can't rescue my own father?
Kelly, shh!
I thought we had an orchestrated plan.
She's about to get us all killed.
Kelly, he's right. You have to stay behind.
No. You're not gonna ditch me here Iike some kid.
Give me a minute alone with her, will you?
Kelly...
...you can't come. That's the end of it.
I just want my dad back.
I know how much you wanna rescue him,
and believe me, I don't wanna Ieave you here alone.
But this is the only way to do it.
You don't understand, MacGyver.
I want to show him that I can be just Iike...
Just Iike...
A son?
Did he say that to you?
That he wanted a son?
He didn't have to.
That's an awful Iot to assume, isn't it?
Maybe I am trying to prove something, but I want him to be safe.
That's first.
Okay, I'II stay behind.
Thanks.
We'II get him back.
Lieutenant.
- So is everything still on schedule? - Perfectly.
Raise your hands.
Move.
Chocolate.
You can keep that if you'd Iike.
Listen, I hope you didn't take what happened
back at the roadblock personally.
I guess you did.
Get away from that. Go on.
Get out of here.
Hey, there's no more room in here.
Two's enough.
And that one's trying to steal my dinner.
Well, believe me, I don't wanna be here any Ionger than I have to.
Who are you?
The name's MacGyver.
I'm here to help you escape.
- Sure you are. - No, it's true.
Your boss, Jeff Moore, dropped me off.
He's got a chopper waiting as soon as my inside contact
gets things rolling for us.
Mr. Moore organised this?
He sent one man to get me past an army?
Yeah.
Unfortunately, we have a Iittle unsolicited help.
Your daughter's waiting on the outside too.
Outside? Where?
Shh! Just take it easy, will you?
She's all right as Iong as she stays put.
She's at the church.
That's crazy.
Kelly here in San Perez? Why?
I don't know.
That might be something you wanna ask her.
So when the Americans contacted you,
you played along as if you were to help with their escape plan?
That's correct, sir. The central government ordered me
to remain secret about it as a security measure.
What happened to the girl?
I never saw her. He was alone.
Then she's still out there.
Yes. But...
...their rescue attempt failed.
Henderson must be very demoralised by this.
Easy to manipulate, perhaps.
Yes.
Now is the time to obtain that confession.
Excellent thinking, sir.
Speak to your clients.
I will clear the path into the cell.
As you wish, sir.
Find the girl before there's another rescue attempt.
We cannot spare any more men to search, colonel.
Do as I say.
Compensate for the Iack of men however you have to.
I want more security.
- Are you all right? - Yeah, we're fine.
Everything still on schedule?
Yes, but Salazar is getting nervous. We haven't much time.
What's the plan?
We only have one chance to break you out.
The guard outside will start to walk on his rounds at dawn.
As soon as he Ieaves,
I'II drop a pouch of plastique explosive through the window-
Wait a minute.
I don't know about plastique.
The noise is Iiable to attract more soldiers than we can handle.
You got a kitchen in this complex? A refrigerator?
I have a small refrigerator in my quarters.
That's great. Look in the back and find the compressor.
Follow the coil down to the canister of Freon gas-
Wait, slow down.
Follow the coil down to what?
AII right, wait a minute.
First, find the compressor.
It's the motorized pump in the back that makes all the noise.
There's a coiled metal tube attached to it.
- I understand. Continue. - AII right.
Follow that coil down to a small canister that contains Freon gas.
Crimp both ends of that canister so the gas doesn't Ieak out.
Cut it off and bring it to me.
What are you gonna use the Freon for?
Gonna break the Iock.
Quietly.
Um, uh...
Excuse me.
Hello. We could sure use all the fresh air we can get in here.
You are Iucky to be breathing at all, seņor.
We take no more chances now.
Now how are we gonna get that Freon gas in here?
I don't know.
Hey, come on, MacGyver, you're not gonna catch that rat.
We've been at it for hours.
Well, Iook at it this way.
He's getting just as tired as we are.
Gotcha.
MacGyver.
Can you knock a board out?
No, it's too noisy. Just Iike the plastique.
Go around back.
You'II get a Iittle visitor through the drainpipe.
Time for your big escape.
Do you think there's enough Freon to freeze the Iock?
I'II tell you when it's empty.
You do it?
Yeah.
It should shatter Iike a piece of glass.
I hope.
Do it. The guard's coming back.
Come on.
You okay?
Yeah, getting better all the time.
- Daddy. - We're gonna be all right, honey.
I thought I told you to stay in the church.
I couldn't. I came Iooking for you. I was worried you wouldn't come back.
Shh. AII right, all right. We gotta go.
You all right? Okay, come on.
Hold on.
- Leg's gone, huh? - Not much Ieft.
Why don't we check that map in Kelly's pack?
Yeah.
What time is that chopper gonna meet us again?
0800 hours on the other side of the San Morro River gorge.
I'II never make it there on foot in time.
Yeah, well, the road's bound to be blocked.
But that railway Iine won't be.
But we don't have a train.
I know where to get one.
What do you say?
The Americans have escaped!
- How Iong ago? - There is no way of telling.
What have you done about this?
I searched the compound, but found nothing, sir.
Then I came directly here.
- While they continue to escape? - Colonel, please-
The gauge of a train track in the United States
matches the wheelbase of my own jeep,
give or take an inch.
This jeep looked the same as mine
and the tracks outside were a close match.
None of that mattered, of course, if I couldn't get the engine running.
Well, getting the engine going didn't seem to be a problem.
But keeping it going just might be.
Radiator's bone-dry.
And my guess was a few bullet holes had something to do with that.
Sometimes I just hate it when I'm right.
I had to find some way to plug up this radiator
if we were ever gonna get out of here.
There are times you can't do a job all by yourself.
What I needed was a little help from the locals.
Local chickens, that is.
Stay.
Were you ever sorry you had me instead of a son?
I never wanted a son, Kelly.
Whatever gave you that idea?
AII that sports stuff. I mean, Bushmaster-
I don't know.
Well, you seemed to enjoy it all so much that I-
I enjoyed it because I thought you wanted me to.
Well, to tell you the truth, I never knew how to raise a daughter.
I was just doing the best I could.
Kelly, I wouldn't want you any other way.
Egg whites are good for a lot of things.
Lemon meringue pie, angel food cake,
and plugging up radiators.
The idea is
the boiling water in the radiator will cook the eggs
and they'll temporarily clog the holes.
That is if the holes aren't too big.
I guess MacGyver was right.
I was trying to prove something I didn't need to.
Think we've both been doing that?
Kelly, open the gate.
Let's go, Joe.
- You all right? I'm okay.
We'II cross the bridge in a mile or so.
Pickup point's just beyond that.
How's the time?
About five minutes.
We're not through yet.
What do we do?
Joe, keep your foot on the accelerator.
Kelly, switch places with me.
Now what are you doing?
Trying to slow up our friends.
I think we'II be using that arsenal of yours after all, Kelly.
There's the bridge.
- Either of you got a match? - Huh?
No.
I need something to Iight this fuse.
They're getting closer, MacGyver.
Hurry. We're almost there.
Got it.
Okay.
Look, the chopper.
Well, it Iooks Iike your boss is right on time.
You did it, MacGyver, you did it.
No...
...we all did it.
Are you sure Joe and Kelly are gonna meet us here for dinner?
Take it easy. They'II get here any minute.
I'II get you to that steak house on time.
Believe him, Pete. He wasn't a minute Iate with that chopper.
Just a Iittle pickup and delivery. You know, business as usual.
You know, I heard this morning Colonel Salazar has fled the country.
Looks Iike San Perez is gonna have a new government soon.
Yeah, we did a good job of it, didn't we, guys?
We weren't the only ones.
Sorry we're Iate.
Had to do a few things.
Well, now, wait a minute. Hold on.
Look at this beautiful young Iady.
Actually, my dad bought it for me.
Does this mean you're not gonna play Bushmaster with us again next year?
Well...
- It's entirely up to Kelly. Oh, yeah?
Including which team she plays for?
Yes.
