Macgyver s01e05 Episode Script

Welcome to paradise.
Relax.
Come on, Sims.
Relax.
Nobody saw you get on the aircraft.
And as far as everybody's concerned, you're still in the States.
Hey.
You're home free.
The police are probably following me now.
Not here.
Relax.
Come on.
It's cool.
Right.
Let's take a look at the goods.
I've always wanted to see what Six million is your share.
I wouldn't cheat you, Catlin.
You're an accountant, Sims.
Figure it out.
I trusted Daniel Sims.
- No one's blaming you, senator.
- I'm blaming me.
I was chairman of the Famine Aid Committee.
That $60 million was raised on my name, my friends, my reputation.
And it was stolen by the man I hired, Daniel Sims.
It's not my reputation I care about, MacGyver.
What Catlin stole isn't just dollars.
These people are dying today.
That money was raised to save human lives.
When my daughter Chris heard about it, she flew back from Africa.
She's in the Virgin Islands now.
She's trying to find some way to get to Catlin but nothing's worked.
Nothing.
Well, then I better get going.
Your name MacGyver? That's amazing.
So is mine.
You're MacGyver? I'm sorry, I guess I was expecting another high-powered lawyer or an ex-FBl agent with another great idea that doesn't work I'm sorry, I'm a little wound up.
Chris Rhodes.
Your father tells me you've been researching things here.
You can start by telling me what you know about Catlin.
He keeps what amounts to a private army around here.
Some of them arrived with him.
He used to be a mercenary.
Soldier of fortune.
Asia Minor, Libya.
In Angola they call him "The Butcher.
" Hey, Chris, we're gonna get to him.
Just what exactly do you do, MacGyver? - What else do you know about Catlin? - He came to the Virgin Islands about five years ago with a gaudy reputation and a lot of money with which he bought this hotel and casino.
Catlin's little hideaway.
You don't like him much, do you? You know, I was in the Peace Corps in Africa.
I know what famine does.
There he is.
Welcome to my little exhibition.
That's Catlin.
Come on over, guys.
We got a confirmation from Amsterdam.
- They can handle the diamonds.
- All of them? Sixty million dollars to be paid to a Swiss account.
We need flight plans and clearances.
I wanna be off this island in 48 hours.
See to it.
- He looks like a happy guy.
- Why not? We can't touch him.
Maybe we can.
What if I were to just go in and take the diamonds from Catlin? My God, you're a thief.
It's impossible.
It's ridiculous.
It's illegal.
Why? Catlin claims he doesn't have the diamonds.
You tell me how taking something that doesn't exist - constitutes breaking the law.
- Because we can't just Well, because we can't just plan a break-in or pull off some kind of far-fetched caper or You know, you're right.
What the hell.
We'll do it.
What you mean "we"? You were in the Peace Corps, - not the Green Beret, remember? - Come on, what's your plan? I have found from past experiences that the tighter your plan, the more likely you are to run into something unpredictable.
Okay.
How, then? We fake it.
Oh, great.
Great.
We are in deep trouble.
Look, for starters, we're probably talking about 200 pounds of diamonds.
- Now, where's he gonna store that? - Believe me, I know Catlin.
He wouldn't trust his own mother.
Everything he has, he guards.
- So? - So I researched all the construction permits on the casino.
He built in two security vaults.
A big one in the casino and another one in his private suite.
- Then that's where I'll start.
- Where do we begin? I begin by getting a look at the inside of that casino vault.
To see if the diamonds are there.
I'll go in as a high roller.
Start shooting and see what Catlin's casino is, well, frankly, dishonest.
Nobody wins.
The vault in the casino has got to be guarded and locked.
So the best way to get a look at the inside is by invitation.
So I'll have to make sure I win big at the crap table.
Get them to store my money in their vault.
- How can you be so sure you'll win? - I'll cheat.
Not bad.
You look like James Bond.
I feel like James Bond.
I'm in disguise.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- You stupid little fool.
You spilled this drink all over my dress.
Nice lady.
- Do you know what this cost? - I'm sorry.
Should be ripe to give me a proper diversion.
- I wanna know your name.
- I'm so sorry.
You're absolutely right.
My fault.
I was very clumsy When I was a kid, the first time I went fishing, I had to jury-rig my own line.
- This is an absolute outrage.
- It worked.
- You made me look like a fool.
- Caught a fish that turned lots of eyes.
- I've never been so embarrassed.
- This catch should do the same thing.
- Absolutely ridiculous.
- Please forgive me.
I'm sorry.
Right in the middle of the casino.
Where is the manager? I want to talk to somebody.
I want this replaced.
Excuse me.
What are you looking at? Winner, seven.
Front-line winner.
Here they come.
Right there.
- Not bad.
Any craps.
Bet the seven.
- Again.
Lucky seven, eleven, any craps.
Beautiful.
Numbers off on the come out.
Coming out.
Bet the seven.
Bet the hard eight, hard eight.
Seven again.
Pay the front line.
Front-seven shooter.
Bet the front line.
Bet the seven, eleven, any craps.
- Bet the hard eight.
Hard eight.
- Let it ride.
I've got this afternoon's net-winnings figure.
- What is it, Jack? - That's the one.
Your Virgin Mary, sir.
Thank you.
- Thank you, sir.
- You're welcome.
- Okay, here we go.
- Come on.
Seven! Seven.
Right here, bet the front line.
Any craps.
- I want you to find out who he is.
- My pleasure.
We'll let that ride again.
Hi.
- I'm Tiffany.
- Bond.
James Bond.
Again.
Well, I'm sorry, sir, that's over our limit.
Let it ride.
- Good luck.
- Somehow I know you mean that.
Would you like to go again? For the whole 130,000? Lucky dice.
Let's see how lucky you really are.
Think I'll pass.
Don't wanna be greedy.
This table is closed, ladies and gentlemen.
- Thank you very much.
- Excuse me.
I have to ask a favour.
I'm gonna feel a little nervous walking around with all of your money in my pockets.
I assume the casino has a vault? Not a very big vault, is it? No, but big enough to keep your money safe until you're ready to have another try at your luck, Mr? MacGyver.
MacGyver.
I haven't seen you around.
I haven't been around.
So, Jack, it's been fun.
I'll tell you, Jack, I've about had my fill of the crap table.
Mr MacGyver, you made six straight passes.
The odds are against it.
Yeah? That's why they call it gambling, I guess.
These dice are perfect.
- Yeah, you can say that again.
- Which is why we noticed you'd forgotten your drink.
Seven.
The hard way.
I'd like you to accompany these gentlemen to my office.
It's a little more private.
Take him out.
Well, Jack, you've been terribly civil about this up until now.
Why not? Oh, you clod.
The least you could do is help me up.
All right, you, hold it.
Hold it, I said.
This way.
It's stuck.
Hold it! Get him! Think, MacGyver.
Of course.
Hey, MacGyver, what happened? The diamonds aren't in the casino vault.
They must be in his private suite.
- Oh, great.
- I never said it was gonna be easy.
How can you sleep? Usually it's no problem.
MacGyver.
Come on, MacGyver.
It was terrific.
I mean last night.
I was scared and excited and It's like all the frustration just let go.
- Felt good, did it? - Oh, felt great.
More coffee? More coffee? Sure.
That Catlin's suite? And the diamonds must be in his vault.
Well, I'll find them.
Well, we don't have to worry about Catlin.
He's always on the casino floor.
But last night his security guard told me that Catlin has a spy camera and an alarm system covering the suite.
Well, the guy figures to be a little careful.
MacGyver, there are over 200 pounds of diamonds in there.
Even if you can open the vault, getting the diamonds out will be impossible.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
But the way I plan to do it, it's gonna be kind of noisy, kind of public.
You know what I mean? So I'm gonna need a major distraction.
Small riot in the casino would do just fine.
You're gonna cause a riot in Catlin's casino? - You bet.
- You can't possibly show your face - in there again.
- I won't.
You will.
I hope I can walk with that thing in there.
Just make sure you get this magnet as close to the roulette wheel as possible.
Maybe I can hop.
No, it'll be all right.
What are you doing with my ring? Give me your finger.
- Who am I supposed to scratch? - You're not gonna scratch anybody.
Just like this when you're playing blackjack.
Oh, and then accuse them of cheating.
Yeah.
Then you do the roulette, the slots.
But, Chris, you've gotta make sure it comes together at 2:10 sharp.
All right, you remember, as soon as the diamonds are in my car, you get in your car, and you go.
I'll be right behind you.
But it's gotta come together at 2:10 a.
m.
sharp.
- Or we're history.
- I'll be here.
- Good.
- MacGyver? Yeah, we're gonna make it.
Now, if Thomas Edison is correct, at 2:10, when these wires touch, all the slot machines and lights in the casino ought to go crazy.
Excuse me.
Think this machine will change my luck? Win some, lose some.
Gonna have to deal with that security camera in the penthouse hall.
The mirror from Chris' compact ought to show them a thing or two.
All bets down, please.
All right.
Gotta call a little attention to myself.
It should take at least 90 seconds for the security people to get up here.
About enough time for me to get into Catlin's.
Maybe.
- Thomas? - Yeah.
Some kind of interference.
Go check it out.
Good evening.
Is there anything you need? I could use some luck right about now.
- Looks fine up here.
- Yeah, it's okay down here too.
Place your bets.
Place your bets.
Thank you, madam.
Place your bets, please.
All bets are down.
Ten black, the lady wins.
Seems your luck is changing.
Nasty habit.
Catlin's private vault.
Subtle little thing.
Great.
No combination.
No lock.
No nothing.
And you're no help.
Maybe.
Hey, Catlin, how about bringing me some luck? I've already lost $30,000.
Tonight, luck is with the lady.
It's the penthouse again.
Get up there.
- I'm on my way.
- I'll tell Mr Catlin.
Place your bets.
Round and round.
All bets down now.
Mr Catlin, we have an intruder alarm in your penthouse apartment.
Excuse me.
I'll be right back.
Five black, a winner.
Looks good to me, Mr Catlin.
Something set the alarm off.
Which one of you idiots left the birdcage open? God.
Come on, sweetheart.
What's the matter, baby? Come on.
There you go.
Yeah.
It's all right.
Guess I'd better check everything else while I'm here.
What's the matter, sweetheart? What's the matter, sweetheart? Everything's secure.
Thanks, I owe you for this.
All bets down, please.
Winner, number seven, black.
- Did you see that? Did you see that? - Oh, a change.
- Eleven, red.
- That's why I've been losing money.
- Excuse me, sir, please.
- Let go of me.
- Take it easy.
- This wheel is rigged.
What a clip joint you got here.
You're right.
It's an octave too high.
And the name of the game is blackjack.
Bets, please.
Excuse me, sir.
Is there something wrong with this card? - She's right.
- This place is a rip-off.
- These cards are marked.
- Hey, we've been taken.
What kind of place is this? The cards are marked.
I want my money back.
Five hundred bucks.
And I wanna talk to the manager.
Buzz off, buster.
- Let go.
Let go.
- Take it easy, pal.
Take it easy now.
Excuse me.
I've got a bottle of champagne on ice.
If you could wait.
On that machine, was there a pretty brunette? - I just saw her leave.
- Hey! Come on! Over here.
Come on.
Watch it! Come on.
Out.
Come on.
I always knew you'd be lucky for me.
- MacGyver? - Yeah.
It's me.
Don't do what he tells you.
I'll kill her unless you do exactly as I say.
- I'm here.
- There's a small park just near the breakwater.
Oh, and, MacGyver, don't forget to bring the diamonds.
Morning.
Where's Chris? Straight ahead, turn at the breakwater.
Your lady's waiting in the plane.
Let go.
MacGyver.
See, MacGyver? You wanted the girl you got the girl.
You gave him the diamonds? Yes, our Mr MacGyver, quite the romantic.
That's why he loses and I win.
Okay, let's go up front.
- You two, come on.
- Still got the ring? What? Oh, yeah.
- Use it.
- You two, inside! Get the jack out of that trunk fast.
Take it up to 30,000 feet.
The lack of oxygen will kill them.
I got an idea.
- All right, time to go.
- All right, all right, I'm ready.
- I hope this thing works.
- Consider it a test drive.
Now get yourself down and brace yourself.
This could be fun.
They should be pretty docile by now.
You can come up now.
How are you feeling? Great.
Great.
