Macgyver s01e21 Episode Script

What the hell are you doing here? What do you mean what am I doing here? You take an emergency leave of absence, grab a Soviet I.
D.
, a map of northern Russia, and you split.
You didn't even say good-bye to me.
Well, so you just naturally have to follow me? Pete we're friends.
If you got troubles, I got troubles.
Mac, this one is all mine.
Alexander Karsov.
Candidate for the Nobel, led a civil rights protest in Moscow a while back.
He's got a cabin right up the river, too, doesn't he? How do you know all that? I, uh, pulled the operations file from your office.
How else was I supposed to find out where you were, huh? So, is this Karsov your problem? Yeah.
He died three days ago, under police interrogation because of his contacts with an American secret agent.
Well, that sounds like the usual phony cover-up.
No, it's true.
I was the agent.
But there wasn't any spying.
I was his friend.
I was helping him move some letters from political prisoners to relatives, friends outside of Russia.
Somehow we slipped and they caught him.
Pete, you can't blame yourself for that.
The hell I can't! Alex is dead.
And now I've learned they're gonna arrest his daughter, too, Marya.
So you came to Russia to get her out.
Well, that's great, Pete.
How do we operate? Mac, this is personal, all right? First person singular.
Just me.
I'm not gonna jeopardize anyone else in this.
Hey, hold it.
I'm here.
I traveled Now, like it or not, you've got me.
Okay.
But she's gonna be a little nervous about anyone arriving here.
Let me go in alone, all right? You just wait here.
Okay.
All right? Yeah.
Okay? Okay.
Okay.
Peter! Marya.
Oh, Peter! God in heaven, are you crazy coming here? Don't you know? Yes, I do.
Come in.
Marya, I I can't tell you how truly sorry I am.
Ah I have no time for weakness.
The police, in their infinite sensitivity, have ordered me out.
Peter, an American doesn't simply drop in in the middle of Russia.
Marya, I have come to take you out of here.
No! Before you are arrested.
A car like that's gotta be the secret police.
Three men in a black car.
Marya Alexandrovna Karsova! Yes? You are requested to accompany us to police headquarters.
There are some questions.
And the answer is she is guilty and will be sent to the Gulag.
No! Marya Alexandrovna, I am only a policeman.
Then find yourself an honest trade.
I am not coming.
Hi, Pete! Any ideas? The boats, Pete.
Oh, right.
Stop them! All this fun, and you wanted to leave me behind.
Everybody makes mistakes.
After them! Hang on! Not much chance of their hitting us.
Not unless they get lucky.
We got to get 'em off our tail.
Give me a hand, Pete.
What are we doing? Wrecking this blanket.
Going to build something for them to run into.
That boat's got a jet drive.
You going to jam their intake? You got it.
Got 'em! Clear the boat! Well, all right.
Nice driving.
MacGyver, I am truly happy to finally meet you.
Marya Alexandrovna Karsov.
Mac, I'm grateful.
You bet.
And I am to both of you.
Peter, you risked your life coming here to help me.
And you, MacGyver.
Marya, what else could we do? When I learned that Alex was dead, I I rushed here as soon as I could.
No, no, no, Peter, what you heard was a lie.
My father isn't dead.
What? He is being held secretly in a state mental hospital.
Well, wait a minute.
Why this death notice then? Because he is known.
Because he is loved.
They announce his death and wait.
If there is not too much public protest, then he will die.
No.
No, he will not.
Listen, I'm just grateful he's alive.
And thank God you are free.
To leave Russia? I thank you, Peter, but I am not going to escape.
The hospital is near Leningrad.
I have friends there.
I'm going to get my father out.
No we are.
Hey what about me? I've never been to Leningrad before.
I hear it's a real party town.
Listen, Marya, your friends were real helpful.
They are very loyal.
And I'll do my part.
Well, we've now got travel permits, identification papers and medical certificates.
That's great.
So we'll just waltz right in.
There it is.
Kind of impressive.
Right in the middle of nowhere.
It's a psychiatric hospital.
It has to be isolated.
Are you certain we can do this? Nope.
Marya.
Are you sure you can handle your part of this plan? My part is simple.
They take advantage of cheap labor from the village.
But yours, MacGyver, is it's a bit mad.
Yeah that's the idea.
Let's go, Mac.
Good luck.
This is highly irregular.
I was not even told you were coming, Doctor Torin.
I'm no happier than you are, Doctor.
I'm required to stay here for a week of observation.
Although there doesn't seem to be much question.
Is he really schizophrenic, or is he political? He's ill.
Why do you ask? There are different modes of treatment.
Dr.
Suvarin specializes in political patients.
I myself do not enjoy acting as an agent of the Internal Security.
We carry out an important duty.
But I can see that he is a simple, good fellow.
He won't give us trouble.
No, absolutely not.
In fact, I planned on putting him in a minimum security observation ward.
Doctor, you will observe your patient, nothing less, nothing more.
But he will be housed and treated under our rules.
Thank you.
Please.
Well, my friend, welcome to Ward K.
As long as you make an honest effort, we'll get along.
He means take your pills, do as you're told.
It keeps everything under control.
Better to eat flesh and drink blood.
Mm-hmm.
This is Lopat.
Just give him plenty of room, especially at night.
So, if you belong here, it's that side of the ward.
If you're political, it's here.
Still having illusions that you're a political prisoner, Dimitri? That's what I am, you bedbug.
Please don't provoke me, Dimitri.
Or I would be forced to quiet you down again.
No, this is just talk.
I belong here.
I really do.
Yes.
What about you, sir? Do you belong here? I am political.
But I also drink blood.
Do you play? I play both of you at same time.
I play all of you.
You're getting over-excited.
No.
No.
Don't do it.
We must learn control.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to take this for a little while.
Please, no.
Please, yes! For God's sake, let him have it! We all must learn to live together, don't we? Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes! You're right! You're right! You're right! Emergency! Quickly! Yes, yes, yes, you are right! We must do what we must do! We must live together and we must learn to play together and be what we must be! You're right! Thank you, my friend.
He has helped me.
I have a new friend here! That's right.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Oh, what's this! Oh, sorry, I quit! I quit! I quit! I quit! The patients eat in here in small groups.
Oh.
And the, uh, politicals? With the others.
Medication in the food? No.
I strongly disapprove of drugs instead of treatment.
Well, how do you control the drug dispensing? Mild tranquilizers are kept in the wards and the stronger drugs are kept locked up in my office.
Well, you're very wise to be so careful, Natalya.
Dr.
Torin.
Your patient became violent.
What? Where? Oh, what do you mean? What have you done to him? I'm not laughing.
Big of you.
But it's not easy.
You know, with the flip of a coin, this could have been you in here.
Will you just get me out? My head hurts and my body's about to turn numb.
All right, just stay cool.
I've located the, uh, psychotropic drugs.
What about Karsov? There are three politicals in the ward along with me.
They ought to know where he is if I can get them to talk.
We're rolling, Pete.
Yeah.
Uh, there is one hitch.
What? I only brought in one set of lock picks.
What? Well, I don't know if I can get them back to you after I open the drug cabinet.
Timing, Pete.
Yes.
All you've got to do is break into a cheese box.
I've got to break into a cell.
Change the timing? Remember Belgrade? Mm, don't change the timing.
Right.
Look, I'll get my own set of lock picks, all right? Good.
Let's go.
Pete.
Oh.
I'm here because of a man named Karsov.
Alexander Ivanovich Karsov.
Never heard of him.
Dimitri, please.
I have to make contact.
How? By flying out of the window? Or melting through the walls? We have a plan.
Just tell me where he is.
He is in Ward Zero.
Knight to Queen's Bishop Four.
That's the move I would make.
But I can't.
I can't.
Ward Zero? Who are you? I'm here with Marya Karsova.
We were given help and papers in Leningrad.
By Andrei Varsin.
Any good police spy might know the names.
Knight to Queen's Bishop Four.
But he wouldn't take a beating just to save a poor fool's chess set.
Ward Zero is just above us.
But it's supposed to be empty.
Oh, he is in Ward Zero.
I saw.
I remembered his work on differential topology.
Very sound.
How will you get out of here? I'll just have to get a set of keys.
Excuse me.
Every lightbulb has tungsten filaments, two pieces of spring steel, right size, right shape.
Let there be light.
It's the first corridor on your left and then upstairs.
I'll arrange a diversion.
Good luck.
Thank you.
A noisy diversion.
Gentlemen I'm going to need your help.
I will check on it.
Ward Zero with one problem.
Caulking compound mixed with the proper hardening agent makes a unique version of Russian crazy glue.
If I get out of this, I'll be sure to mail them the recipe.
What is this? What are you doing?! Help! Security! Friend.
Fun! Fun! Fun! Don't hurt him.
And if anyone else comes, keep them out of here.
Secure all wards! Secure all wards! Guards to Ward Zero at once! Attention! Attention! Additional disturbance in Ward K.
Attention, Ward K! Sergeant Borov, east wing security desk at once.
Sergeant Borov, east wing security desk.
Karsov? Alexander Karsov? Who are you? Your daughter Marya sent me.
I'll have you out of here in a second.
Emergency! Attendants to Ward Zero at once! I am the only patient in this section.
They will certainly search this room, and then they find you.
Ward Zero security, report! We're going to get you out of here.
"We"? Please trust me, sir.
This is Sergeant Borov! All guard posts on the left! Patients are loose in the east wing.
Secure all exits.
Attention! Attention! Ward K has been secured.
Repeat, Ward K has been secured.
All guards and attendants report back to your stations at once.
You think he's a hero then, yes? No, leave it alone.
I want him restrained.
No, Suvarin, no! Dr.
Suvarin, please.
Doctor.
All right, doctor, you'll cripple him.
Prolonged loss of blood circulation will frequently result in permanent trauma inflicted upon muscle tissue, and may also entail blockage to kidneys, and I didn't know you had medical training.
I remember things.
Oh.
But then you forget again, yes? - I? - Yes.
Yes.
Maybe I should burn that chess set there so you can think about other things.
Do not touch this chess board until I give you permission.
Sadist.
We'll speak about that again later.
But for now, clean up this mess! It's all right.
He didn't use the needle.
It's clear.
This way, sir.
Dr.
Torin.
Where in the hell have you been? Outside.
For a stroll.
What? The moonlight.
It's very important to me.
Come, I'll show you the open gate.
Shouldn't there be better security, comrade? There are some disturbed people here.
Just show me the open gate.
I can't see.
Comrade, it is night.
Wolves and owls can see.
Men and flowers must wait for the sun.
You've been here too long, comrade.
Go outside and look for yourself if you don't believe me.
Can I get some medicine, please? I can't sleep.
All right, all right.
But no more noise.
Oh, of course, of course.
Crazy.
Indeed.
Thank you.
We made it.
At some risk to my heart.
Now who are you? Just a volunteer.
Along with Peter Thornton and your daughter.
Peter is here? Why? Friendship.
I don't want to make trouble for people.
And Marya-- I pleaded with her to leave.
Yeah, well, she's a little stubborn when it comes to you.
Children.
I am proud of her.
And I worry-- trouble I may bring to her.
What's the plan? Well, tonight was phase one.
Get you out of your cell and leave them searching.
And then phase two has Marya in the village passing as a local girl.
She's arranged to work in the hospital dining room.
When the security staff is eating, she'll help us take care of them.
And tomorrow morning is phase three.
Pete will kick that off in about five hours.
And I wanted to be a surgeon.
But for a woman, you know, it's very difficult.
Suvarin, you'll give me a heart attack yet.
My apologies, Natalya Petrovich, but I have the precise medication for your condition.
This is a powerful psychotropic drug.
I don't understand.
I'll explain.
It is worth a lot of money on the black market.
And that is why you and your coconspirator here stole it.
Suvarin, have you finally gone mad? Perhaps it's just a little bit of paranoia.
It's proof! I have already telephoned Leningrad.
You are both under house arrest.
You will see no one, speak to no one.
You are prisoners.
Good morning.
The Labor Office in the village assigned me to you.
To me? Oh yes, well yes.
Yes! And? What? What are your orders? Orders! Of course.
Knife, fork, spoon and napkin on this table only.
O-Only this table? Yes, for the staff, you know.
For doctors, nurses, security officers.
So it is important that it must be correct.
Of course.
When do they eat breakfast? In, uh, 20 minutes! So quick, quick, quick, my girl! Good morning! When are we getting out for our exercise? Oh, you don't, Dimitri.
Not until the patient that escaped last night has been found.
And the criminal plot that I discovered in this hospital has been fully resolved.
The criminal plot? Yes, the theft of valuable drugs by Dr.
Petrovich, the new doctor.
And I assume, until proven otherwise, our new patient.
Good work, Suvarin.
As it happens, I've been investigating this drug ring for some time.
I am K.
G.
B.
, and this is evidence Stay where you are! I am sure the three of you will benefit greatly from chemical interrogation.
No! I know where Dr.
Petrovich is.
I know where her office is.
MacGYVER: Good, show me.
Let's go! Come on.
We know this plan.
Hi.
Well, glad you could make it.
Thanks.
You are black market! No, we're just your basic revolutionaries.
Power to the people! You bet! Trust us, Natalya, trust us.
Come! Come quickly, quickly! Remember, I am mad! Thank you.
Thank goodness you are here! Well, seems to be working.
So far.
Here's the medication.
Now, it's all mixed.
What do you think you are doing, eh? Who are you? What are you doing? What is going on? Stop! We're breaking out.
Oh.
Oh.
We wouldn't like it if you interfered.
No, no, no.
You can lock me in the closet, or the supply room, or-or the cellar The closet'll do just fine.
Yes, of course.
Yes, yes Sorry.
This is a sedative.
It's a mild psychotropic.
They'll never feel happier.
Okay.
I had talked to him earlier about it What's that? More tea, sir.
About time.
Queen to Rook One.
Yes.
Oh, I will make the move for you.
Yes, here.
Just Knight.
Clever move, yes? Not so clever.
Bishop.
Sorry.
Oh.
Incidentally, you are in check.
You must move King.
I'll move King for you.
You're welcome.
You play very well.
Marya! Marya! - Papa! - Oh! Oh, Papa.
Oh.
Ah! Papa, thank God you're all right.
Oh, a miracle! You're a patient! No, wewere patients.
What? MacGYVER: Well, we figure it's about time for the patients to take over the asylum, old pal.
Natalya, we are leaving now.
We're gonna go.
And you can come with us if you want.
You'll be able to practice medicine the way you want to.
Join us.
I cannot stay here.
I-I do not know what I will do, but I-I will help you.
Ah.
How about that, Pete? All right! I must get you some passes.
We-We must hurry! Good luck! Oh, yes! Your papers, sir.
Oh, right.
Let's go, Pete.
Hurry, quickly! Hurry! This way.
Freedom! Gwen this way, this way It's not far, Alex.
We'll be across the Finnish border in two hours.
Oh, no, no, Peter, no.
I don't go with you.
No, they-they They have made me too too famous now to kill.
And now you give me another chance, I will take it to speak out.
Alex, they've had you locked in a straitjacket! That's the government, Peter.
Not Russia.
A government.
Yeah.
More people like you around just about anything can happen.
Anything.
Well, the word is out.
There should be a lot of people here.
Oh, thank you.
Papa! No, Masha.
We agreed.
But if you can stay, why can't I? If they take you, then they have me.
Hmm? Oh.
Come, you are young.
You will see America.
You can be my voice there.
And then, maybe, some better time, you can come home again.
Meanwhile, we will work to make it a better time.
And what about you, Natalya? Are you sure? No, but hopeful.
Because he believes.
That government can change? Oh, yes.
This This cannot.
This land is-is part of me.
I am afraid I I was not designed for exile.
I owe you so much.
Also, you, MacGyver.
Well, speaking for Pete and myself, I think we've been paid in full.
Papa! Alexander Karsov, it's you! You're alive! Oh Everyone, look! Oh, my that's really Karsov! Karsov!
