Macgyver s01e07 Episode Script

When I was a kid, my dad once took me on a trip to his favourite fishing hole.
It's a place called Sparrow Lake.
It's the most beautiful spot you've ever seen.
And whenever I get a little time off, like now, I go back and I try to find it.
But it's an out-of-the-way kind of spot.
I always seem to get a little lost and wind up at a crossroads.
How you doing? Good morning.
I just need some directions to Sparrow Lake.
- Sorry, we're closed.
- It's two miles back down the road.
Back at the crossroads.
Where the road forks, of course.
My mistake.
Look, I know you're closed, but could I get some coffee? Yeah.
- I'm Kelly Nielson.
- MacGyver.
- Nielson Flying School? - That was my dad.
My breakfast ready, cook? Yeah, coming up.
Thank you.
Finish it.
Or I will.
It was a little strong.
My name's Terry Andrews.
That is Tennyson.
Is that a great name for a short-order cook? Tennyson will fix your breakfast while you empty your pockets.
I guess this means I won't be going fishing.
They just came up here about two hours ago and took over the place.
Oh, I like girls that talk a lot.
Is that supposed to frighten me or excite me? Hey, hey, tough guy.
Tough enough to do you some damage, boy.
Now, now, let's all try to get along.
I estimate we'll be gone in three hours and a quarter.
You rent planes, you handle charters for fishing in Mexico.
Just consider us to be your customers.
And help us pass the time, huh? - Don't.
- Dave.
Oh, Davey.
Davey.
Davey.
Now, Davey's not gonna do nothing, are you, Davey? You're not gonna do nothing.
You put your hands on that girl one more time, I'm gonna show you where that gun of yours is gonna end up.
Please, gentlemen, gentlemen.
- Relax.
- Ah, the fascination of war.
Some men can't kill, others don't mind.
Yeah, but for Buddy, it's as necessary as breathing.
I wouldn't give him any excuse.
They're here.
Everybody out.
Yes! Turk, Elias, you're 40 minutes past ETA.
- Problems? - No way.
Except you drive all night from Dallas with "The Great Stone Face.
" He got nothing to say and he don't say it.
Any trouble on this end? No, not unless Buddy went and got mean and shot and ate one of them.
You still got that humungous mouth, huh, kid? I got it all, Buddy-o.
I got it all.
- You just might get lucky, sweetheart.
- Turk, now.
Now! Move it down.
Come on.
Storage van company in Dallas is missing their truck right now.
Curious mix of people around a man like me, MacGyver? Each one have their specialty, expertise.
I'd be willing to bet you didn't win that in a raffle.
Everything was planned, timed and executed perfectly.
Yo! - There's a man in there.
- Yeah, so there is.
But like most inside guards, he has no key.
But you'll kill him.
There is that possibility.
Do it.
Sixty seconds.
You know, if you blow that door, you're gonna burn up all the money inside.
I can open it for you.
Nobody would get hurt.
- With what, your teeth? - Thermite torch.
- Made out of what? - That bicycle.
And some of the equipment you got over there, and Add a little iron rust, and I'll cut through that door like a hot knife through butter.
Come on, what do you say? It won't cost you anything.
A good plan is always flexible.
We got a couple of minutes to spare, I guess.
So try.
A racing bike is made out of magnesium, light, strong and flammable.
When you file it down to a powder, add some ferric oxide, your rusted iron, mix it, tamp it down tight, you've turned an expensive bike into a torch.
Use a highway emergency flare for ignition, and you've got your hot knife through butter.
MacGyver, what do you do by profession? I move around.
Okay, I suggest you all move back for this.
Very good, MacGyver.
Very, very good.
Now, a dead body brings buzzards, right? - I ain't doing no day labour.
I'm rich.
- Oh, no.
MacGyver and Captain Yellow Streak will do the digging.
You can watch.
- You're all heart, buddy boy.
- Well, I try.
- Why? Does that bug you? - You didn't have to kill him.
No but I wanted to.
And if Andrews didn't see potential for the rest of you, I'd waste you too.
Start digging.
Kelly said you were a medevac pilot, Dave? I was.
I'm not.
That's too bad.
I don't fly anymore.
I'm sorry.
I was shot down.
They held me prisoner for 13 months.
Toward the end, I was mostly digging graves.
Last one I dug was for me.
They tied my elbows behind my back and then made me kneel at the edge.
I don't know how long I knelt there waiting for that chrome-plated revolver at the back of my head to go off.
Then they started laughing.
When they were done I know what that sounds like.
Just the truth.
You and Kelly are about the only ones who didn't just pass judgment.
Well, I can't stand in judgment of you, Dave.
I'm not perfect yet.
Hey, get with it.
Let's keep that dirt flying.
You bet.
Planting season's over.
Ain't that something.
Eight million dollaroonies.
Buy a fresh ammo clip and a head start.
Cool it, Rambo.
After all, it's the second best thing going.
Don't touch her, man.
- Why, you got a claim? - Nobody has a claim on me.
Why, what would you do? - Kill yourself? - I'd do my best to kill you.
Only make it more exciting.
Oh, come on now, Buddy.
Now, that's just bad taste.
Picking on girls.
Show a little class for a change.
Buddy, Buddy.
Buddy, not now.
Sparrow Ridge, this is Baron Zero Seven Sierra, over.
That's it.
That's our charter.
Answer him.
- Sparrow Ridge, this is - Answer him.
Come on.
Come in please, Sparrow Ridge.
This is Baron Zero Seven Sierra, over.
This is Kelly Nielson, Sparrow Ridge.
We've been expecting you, Zero Seven Sierra, over.
Kelly, I have an electrical short in the trim control.
Can you make repairs or should I proceed to Nogales? - Can you fix it? - No.
Do you read me, Sparrow Ridge? Over.
Your "no" came much too quickly.
Tell him to come down.
- Kelly, do you read me? Over.
- Tell him, now! Can do, Zero Seven Sierra.
Come ahead, over.
Roger.
See you in 15 minutes.
This is Baron Zero Seven Sierra, out.
There's no guarantee I can fix it.
I may not have the parts.
Then a lot of people could get real hurt real soon.
How about you, MacGyver? Any ideas? I can jury-rig a trim control switch.
You got a spare-parts bin I can take a look at? Good man, MacGyver.
My schedule's assured with you around.
Show him.
You go with them.
- I was just cooling down, Terry.
- Take the beer with you.
Go easy on the brew, Buddy.
You still gotta fly us out of here.
I just gotta take care of one thing before we split: MacGyver.
Jury-rig a switch? All Dave has to do is trace the circuit.
Yeah, I know that and you know that.
No one else seems to.
Can you fly that chopper out there? No, but we keep it maintained.
- You asked Dave, didn't you? - Yeah.
You know, it's not his fault.
He would if he could.
It's just that he's been through so much.
Kelly, I'm not laying any blame on him.
Seems like a nice guy.
It's been tough for both of us.
See, Dave and I we make allowances for each other.
And we work together pretty well.
- At least, until this happened.
- Get started.
Does that fire truck work? Pumps run and all? Yeah, but there are four men out there carrying guns.
Kind of tough odds.
Let's even them up a little bit.
What's that? Lateral cranial impact enhancer.
He'll be out for awhile.
Let's go to work.
Listen, we can't just sail out of here.
What about Dave and Al? It's no problem.
We'll take them with us.
You didn't happen to use fertilizer in that garden, did you? - Yeah.
- Good answer.
Got any left? Over there.
What are you doing? Some of the chemicals in fertilizer and the ether in the engine start will mix together to make a pretty good bomb.
It's a little recipe I use in emergencies.
I'll remember that.
Listen, why don't you go back in the cafe.
And bring Dave and Al when the others run outside.
I won't even ask why they're going to run outside.
Faith, my dear.
Faith.
Your man says he's thirsty.
- And what? - And MacGyver's almost finished.
Come on! Come on, let's go.
Kelly, you drive.
- Come on! - I'll ride up top with MacGyver.
- Let's go.
Hurry! - Come on, move it, Kelly.
Stop them.
MacGyver, the water tank's empty.
Dave, give me a light.
- I got it, MacGyver.
- We gotta slow them down.
Quick, MacGyver, they're coming! Where's he going? He's going around us.
- Kelly.
Where's Kelly? - Dave, give me a light first.
Drop it, MacGyver.
Or have pieces of her all over the runway.
I owe you one, pal.
You can have what's left when I'm done.
Let's not fight over me, boys.
Charter flight's coming in.
You come with me.
Be very sensible.
Her life depends on it.
Hey viejo, keep making those sandwiches.
We got a long flight ahead of us.
Maybe we should tie them up.
No, I got a better idea.
Come on.
Let's go.
Easy, big fellow.
Open the door.
Come on.
They'll freeze solid in there.
Probably.
But if you're real nice to me, I'll let you stay out here.
Open it up, Al.
I am crushed.
You heard the lady.
Open the door.
Get the food.
Hi, I'm your charter.
- How do you do, sir? - Good to see you.
We sure are anxious to get to them fish.
Well, that'll depend on how long it takes to make the repairs.
Hey, Dave, where's Kelly? I miss her smiling face.
- Hey.
- Okay, guys, let's do it.
Come on, killer.
Come on.
Oh, God, now what do we do? - We're gonna get out of here.
- How? Well, I don't know that quite yet, but I figure we ought to be pretty quick about it.
Kind of chilly in here.
Did you notice that? So, Kelly, tell me, how'd a nice girl like you end up with a place like this? I grew up here.
Dave used to work for my dad.
We kind of had something together before he went to Vietnam.
And got taken prisoner? The telegram said he was dead.
Killed in action.
Is this some kind of hijacking? My plane? You need him for anything? Back up, Buddy, back up.
He can help Davey fix the plane.
The only thing I'd help is at your hanging.
- Walt, they mean it.
- Fix it.
And we'll just watch real close to make sure you don't make any mistakes.
So did you ever think of leaving here? I lived in Chicago once.
I even got married.
Six months were pretty good and then Ended up two and a half years with the two of us pretending.
- What about kids? - Kids need a home.
Not two strangers just trying to be polite with each other.
Oh, God, I do want kids.
- We're getting there.
- I knew you would.
Have you any idea what Dave's been through? Yes, ma'am, I sure do.
Shot down, POW Excuse me.
A lot of isolation, torture.
Told me he even dug his own grave one time.
- I never heard that.
- Yeah.
Well, it doesn't matter.
What does is that he's still there, hiding.
I wanna help him, but I just don't know how.
I wish I wish for a lot of things.
So do I.
How about a deal? I'll wish for you if you wish for me.
Okay.
First wish: That we get out of here.
No problem.
Start making a second wish.
MacGyver, what are you doing? Water's kind of weird.
It's the only substance in the world that expands when it freezes.
Oh, inside the door lock.
Yes, ma'am.
Keep loading.
The state police should be guessing we're in Arizona by now.
I want to be in Mexico before they guess Sparrow Ridge Airport.
- She's still rough.
- Good enough.
Button her up.
Oh, gee, they really did a job on the radio.
You got the controls to this thing? Well, yeah, but why? Okay.
Now, we're gonna say goodbye, we're gonna take off, and that's all she wrote.
Let's go to the diner.
Come on.
- No! - Al, what are you doing? They're not gonna leave us living.
They're gonna do away with us too.
You just do what you wanna do.
I'm not going out like no whimpering dog.
So whatever you're gonna do, man, you might as well do it here.
Hey, what's going on? - What is that? - Something's on it.
You guys, come on.
Come on! Get it.
Move! - We gotta get out of here.
- Not with MacGyver on the loose.
If he tosses another firebomb when we're in the plane, we could fry.
He could be anywhere around here.
Then we'd better find him.
MacGyver.
Where are you? Buddy.
- Turk with you? - No.
He went over toward the moving van, but he's not there now.
I don't know where Turk went.
Did you check the road? Yeah.
Nothing.
Did you find them? Come on, they're not invisible.
I'll look around, brother.
Kelly.
MacGyver.
They're gonna get him, sooner or later.
- Yeah.
- You and your friends are dead.
MacGyver.
I can't fly that chopper, Kelly.
You won't fly it, and that's different.
Dave, I think she's saying this is one of those times when you go one way or the other, and the rest of your life depends on which way you pick.
MacGyver, here I am.
Turk, is that you? Nothing.
Nothing.
Come on.
Come on, we're losing it.
The whole plan is going to hell.
Warm up the plane now.
Come on.
We got the money, let's go.
- Dave.
- MacGyver.
I need your help.
I can't.
I told you, I can't! We gotta stop them.
Why? We're alive, and I don't give a damn about the money.
They killed a man.
I give a damn about that.
Okay.
Say, what's going on? MacGyver.
I'll try and dump him off.
He's riding the controls.
Blow him away.
- Think you can handle this one, Al? - Yeah, it'll be my pleasure.
Come on, let's go.
Move it.
Move it.
I'd better help the others.
I'll wish for you if you wish for me.
Gotta be careful what you wish for, Kelly.
It just might come true.
