Sumlee triwai.
Are you the doctor|that's been treating my lady? Yes.
|How is she? I'm sorry,|mr.
Colton.
Wanda tran was very il|I for a long time before mr.
Macgyver found her|and brought her to the clinic.
She died|late yesterday afternoon.
Your plane was|already in the air there was no way|to let you know.
Damn.
It's been 15 years since they|pulled my unit out of nam.
I had to leave her behind.
I've been searching|all these years.
Why should i suddenly|get lucky now? I'm sorry, jesse.
Uh, there's something else you have a son.
A son? A 15-year-old boy|named willie.
You're telling me|this kid is 15 years old? Well, like i told you, man, that's|about how long i've been out of nam.
For 15 years.
So? So she had a kid.
That doesn't necessarily|make me daddy warbucks.
Hey, man, she could have|met somebody else.
Jesse, She told me|willie is your kid It was a lousy war.
Screwed everybody up.
Hey, shut him up,|will you? Come on, gus,|come on.
Hustle, throw it in there.
|Come on, that's it.
All right.
Come on, come on,|come on, come on.
Hey, now, hold the phone.
|Now, wait a minute here.
Now, you're not taking off|without a little bit of profit to show for all our work,|are you? Now you go on back there|and get your hands full.
Go on, or i'll feed yo u to|the sharks, you little slime.
Come on, let's go! That's the way it's done,|my boy.
That's the way.
Is that it?|Yeah.
We're out of here.
|Let's go! All right, go! There you go, suzie.
|It's a work of art.
Just in time.
The old one broke down|yesterday.
Am i going to be attached|to it all the time? Not all the time, suzie.
Just for a 3-hour|treatment every other day.
And when i get to america, and you give me that new|kidney you promised me, macgyver, will i be able to play, and go to school, and do all the things|i used to do? Yeah.
That's right.
Ta-da! That's what happens|when you eat too much.
Nothing here,|nothing there.
Whoa! Is something in there?|Let me see.
Whoa! Whoa! Look at that look at this! That's it, folks.
That's all i know is 3 tricks,|and you've seen 'em all.
Bye! Bye! Have you ever considered giving up|bounty hunting and going on the stage? Once.
When this, uh,|dude i was tracking threw me out|a 6th floor window.
All right.
So, the phoenix foundation|is gonna fly the sick kids to america|for treatment? No, just suzie and the 5|emergency cases in here.
As soon as the visas|come through.
Well, this ain't|the middle ages, folks e they can get those|kind of operations her as well|as anywhere else.
Not amerasians, mr.
Colton they are very low-priority when it comes|to expensive , lifesaving operations.
Half-asian, half-american,|they are treated as outcasts.
They have nowhere else to turn,|except to private institutions like the phoenix foundatio|n and other charities.
What about the others?|The, uh, kids in the street? Good question.
May the lord receive her into his peace, and raise up her body|on the last day.
Amen.
I will keep my promise|to you.
I will put a headstone|on your grave, like all|the rich people have.
I swear it, mama.
willie? This is jesse colton.
While my mothe|r was in the bed waiting for god|to take her to heaven, she told me my father|was coming to bangkok.
Are you my father? I can see in your face|that you are my father.
Can you not see in my face|that i am your son? Go easy on me, boy.
I never knew about you.
This is kind of scary.
Then you are my father i guess so.
You slime! Willie well, i'll be a son of that kid stole my wallet! Willie! Oh, forget it! Forget it, man,|forget it.
Let him go.
I guess it's plain he didn't wanna|have anything to do with me, huh? He didn't get very much.
My mama taught me never to keep a picture of|andrew jackson in your wallet.
Now, you come back soon,|folks.
Bring your money, all right? Come|in, sir.
Come right this way, pal.
Ok, got some great deals|for you.
Step right up.
See that man right there.
|He'll take good care of you.
Whatever you need, we got.
Whatever you don't, we've got|that, too.
Heck, we've got it all come right over here, sir.
Yes,|sir, i got some great deals for you.
Oh, step this way, ma'am.
|You'll like it, too.
then we're gonna talk|cash discount, all right? Where else can you fin d merchandise|like this at such bargain prices it's a steal, folks,|i tell you, a steal.
Now, go in there and take a look|around.
We got a lot more stuff, sir.
Ringe, show these people|what we got.
Typewriters, tapes,|videos, you name it.
You like that|motorcycle, kid? You got the money, you got it.
|We got lots more to look at.
Socks, we got acrylic, nylon,|all kinds of socks up there.
More sneakers, more|you like those ties, ma'am your husband would|look great in those.
We got more sandals, too.
Ringe, i|told you to keep these tapes neat! Skinner.
You looking for a meal, kid? The garbage pails|are out on the pier.
A friend told me that you sell|things.
And that you buy things also.
Yes, that's right.
Get on with|it.
I found this on the street.
You found it?|Sure you did, kid.
So what happened|to the money? There was none.
|Only the cards.
They say credit cards|are worth money.
"Jesse colton.
Seems this colton person had some|connection with the phoenix clinic.
That mean anything to you?|No.
How much will you|give for it? Ordinarily, not much.
But you're lucky, my boy.
|200 baht.
Maybe even 5.
Sure, kid, sure.
But it's not that easy.
Something you got to do first.
Hi, macgyver.
|Look at me.
I'm flying.
Yeah,|it's a piece of cake, huh? It's fantastic.
|Look at how good she looks you're going to be|all right, suzie.
Of course i am, with you and macgyver|to look after me.
Yep, see?|That's what friends are for.
We have a problem with|the embassy, macgyver.
What, the kids' visas again? Yes.
They still|haven't issued them.
If we don't have them|by at least noon tomorrow, you'll have to|postpone the flight again.
These kids are sick,|and they're getting sicker.
Don't those people|understand that? Baan jar, number 10,|poi dang road.
Yeah, got it.
Any other stonecutters|in the area? Thanks.
Hey, i didn't think you were|interested in tracking willie down.
It's not the kid,|it's the credit cards.
You know what a hassle it is trying|to get new ones? Oh, yeah, sure so what'd you|come up with? If you're not busy.
|Yeah, sure just got a quick stop|to make along the way.
Look, macgyver,|you have to understand.
The thai government isn't very|sympathetic to your amerasians.
They're your amerasians,|too, rog.
The point is, there are some|in the government who don't like the idea of being|shown up by the phoenix foundation.
You wanna spell that out|for me? It's simple enough, isn't it? Flying those kids back to the|states for medical procedures is a form of charity.
There are those who feel|that charity begins at home, and don't want the government|embarrassed in the eyes of the world.
They say they'll look after it|themselves.
Yeah, sure.
6 months, a year,|whenever they get around to it.
These kids don't have|that much time.
I'm sorry.
My hands are tied.
Well, ok.
Then i guess we'll|have to spring this story to the washington post,|time, newsweek shh.
It's a good idea,|slick.
You never know what a little|publicit y like that'll do.
It'd get me called up before a congressional|committee, that's what it would do.
Oh! Darn.
All right.
|I'll see what i can do.
When? Give me a week.
Tomorrow, rog.
Tomorrow noon, 6 visas make that 7 visas.
The extra one's for a boy|named willie tran.
Can you remember|that name, rog? Thanks, rog.
Thank you very much! Like i told you, my boy,|honesty is the best policy.
I'll be waiting around back.
Well, hello, willie.
|How can i help you? This belongs to the man|who calls himself my father.
Mr.
Colton? I found it.
|Now i want to give it back well, he's out|with mr.
Macgyver just now.
I expect|they'll be back soon.
Do you want to leave it?|No.
I'll wait.
All right.
|Make yourself comfortable.
Bingo.
Stonecutter said willie was|here a couple of hours ago.
He ordered a stone any idea where he went? No.
Just that he was going to get|the money for it and come back.
Willie Willie hi, suzie.
I've been wanting|to see you.
I'm so sorry|about your mother.
Are you ok? Yeah.
L i see|you got the new machine.
Yes.
Just in time.
The old one stopped working.
Real complicated-looking|thing, isn't it? How does it work? I don't know.
But it keeps me alive.
Wow.
|Yes.
I would die without it why do you ask? Are you gonna|be a doctor someday? Maybe.
A boy like you Yes, i believe you can Oh, yeah.
All right, come on, you little|monsters, let's clear it out.
What did i tell you about honesty,|my boy? It works every time.
Come on, get out of here.
Hustle! Listen to me, i don't want|anything damaged, all right? If it says "fragile,"|it means don't break it.
Take everything.
|Everything.
Take the dust|off the walls! Get this one|out of here.
You join our little group,|my lad, and that is|just the beginning.
Mr.
Skinner, no, they|mustn't take that machine.
Get serious, kid.
|Everything goes.
No, not that!|What are you doing? Let go of it! Leave off,|you little sewer rat! Come on, let's get|the rest of this stuff.
Yes.
Mr.
Colton? Yes, at the clinic|.
thank you.
You're a very lucky man,|mr.
Colton.
Very few people lose their|wallet and get it back.
What are you|talking about, doc? Willie.
He found it somewhere,|and came to give it back.
He's here? Where? Wandering around.
Dr.
Triwai! Strange people , dr.
Triwai.
What people, ko lin? In|the back.
Strange people i'll check it out.
Come|on.
I'm gonna dig up willie.
Where'd you see 'em? They have a truck|parked near the back.
Why don't you go|get in the truck? We got ourselves|a good haul today, huh I'll just clean off|this bottom shelf.
You never know what's|stashed away in these places.
Go on, go!|Go, go, go! What happened?|They cleaned out the joint.
It's willie! All right.
|Thanks, pete.
What did mr.
Thornton say? Is the foundation going to|replace the dialysis machine? Yeah.
The problem is, it'll|take 4 or 5 days to get here.
Suzie can't wait|that long, macgyver.
If she misses a treatment,|it could be fatal.
I'll try|the other hospitals again.
Come on, boy,|talk to me.
Why didn't you just tell m e|you needed money for a tombstone? I would've given it to you .
you|didn't have to steal my wallet.
How you doing,|willie? Man.
He is one stubborn kid look, I'm not putting you on how much is that stone|gonna cost? Come on, how much? I don't need your money.
Man! He must be my kid, all right!|He's got a lot of dumb pride! Why won't you|let me help you? Because i hate you.
You show me this money, you think|it's going to make you my father? Where were you|when i needed a father? Hey, willie,|that's not quite fair.
He didn't even know about you|until he got here this morning.
But he knew about my mother.
Where were you all those|years she worked day and night just to put food|on the table? I loved your mother.
Many years ago, when they|pulled m e out of saigon, i told your mother that i|was gonna come back for her.
When i did, she was gone.
To cambodia, thailand there were all kinds|of rumors.
But i never stopped|looking for her.
I show you my money.
I will buy a stone for|my mother with my money.
I will do this without the help of|a father who was never my father.
Where did you get all that it's none of your business.
Hey, willie.
Come here.
You see, willie, the|thing that's got me puzzled is that door.
Since you're|the only eyewitness, maybe you can tell me how the|thieves might have gotten in without breaking|the lock, hmm? I don't know.
|They were already in.
It doesn't take|a brain surgeon to figure out|that it was an inside job.
Does that make sense|to you, willie? That somebody from the inside|opened the door for 'em? Who? Hey, willie! I don't see him anywhere.
This crowd of people|swallowed him up.
Forget it, man.
|He's gone.
Long gone.
What about suzie? She gonna be able to make it|without that machine? The only way|she's gonna make it is if we|get that machine back.
Yeah, how are we|gonna do that? We don't even know who|ripped it off.
Willie knows.
Yeah, but we gotta|find him first.
Out in these streets,|that could take forever.
We don't have forever.
Well, then you got to fix the|old dialysis machine, don't you? Jesse, if it was in the|least bit fixable, i would.
You're the man!|You can do it.
While you're|working on it, i'll call|an old army buddy of mine.
Maybe he can give us a lead on who|fences hot property around here.
I don't know, jesse,|it looks pretty hopeless.
Come on, man,|you can fix anything.
Yeah, sure.
No problem.
George, jesse colton here.
Hey, buddy, how are you? Yeah, i'm in bangkok.
Listen, um,|i need you to do me a favor.
I'm looking|for some local creep who knocked over a bunch of medical|supplies at a friend of mine's clinic.
Yeah.
He uses kids|to do his dirty work.
Any progress? Well, the pump that|circulates the rinsing liquid is pretty much shot.
I can get it to circulate,|but not perfectly.
Any irregularity or|turbulence in the blood flow could cause clotting.
Got it fixed, slick? No, i don't have it fixed! There are some things in this|world that can't be fixed, and this happens|to be one of 'em.
And we don't need a|seat-of-the-pants patch job.
What we need|is the new dialysis machine.
Can't risk suzie's lif|e on this thing.
Macgyver, am i gonna die now? Jesse colton,|call on line 1.
Excuse me.
No, baby,|you're not gonna die.
You think if you lie,|i'll feel better? No.
I think i'm gonna find that|machine and get you back on it hey, i appreciate it, baby.
It's my army contact.
He gave me a lead|on a guy named skinner.
Says he loves to gamble.
That's p-pathetic! Hit the sucker,|don't blow him a kiss! Kind of place that sticks|to the bottom of your shoes.
Watch where you're|stepping, then.
Yeah.
This is like coming home.
You've been here before? No, not this joint.
But the good|ones are all alike, aren't they? That's him.
How do you know it's him? My man told me|he was about 6 feet, curly hair, mean,|wears a red bandanna.
Slightly pale.
Works for me.
So what do you think? He's a businessman.
Let's do some business.
Yeah! Go on up there.
|Hit him! The nest of the eagle|is empty, man.
What?|What do you mean, "what"? What does he mean,|"what"? The nest of the eagle|is empty.
Look, pal, i have got a|lot of bread on this fight.
Now get away from me|or i'll punch your heart out.
Hey.
He doesn't know|the password.
This ain't|frank skinner, man i'm skinner, all right?|I am skinner.
Now, who the hell|are you guys? Colonel mugwana.
|This is major bright.
We were told we had to|do this password bit in order to do busines|s with you.
This creep in manila was putting|us on about the password, man.
Wait a minute,|what kind of business? The revolution business.
The major and me are running a|little war on the island of mindoro.
That's a little south|of manila.
I know where it is.
See, the thing is, we need more guns, more|ammunition, and everything.
We were told you were the|guy that could handle it.
Yeah, i can handle it,|if you've got the money.
Does the sun|rise in the east? We've gotta see the|merchandise first, though.
All right, you got it.
I'll get right on it.
As soon as this|fight's finished.
Come on, hit him! Uh-oh.
What "uh-oh"? What? Uh-oh, you'll see.
It's him.
|What? It's the one|from the clinic.
What are you saying? He's the one who came running into|the alley when we were driving away.
Let the games begin.
Let's get out of here.
They're splitting! Whatever you want, man.
Morning, willie.
|Hold it.
I just wanna talk.
About what? Frank skinner.
|Where do i find him? I don't know anybody|by that name.
I think you do.
Your dad took off after hi m yesterday|afternoon.
He hasn't been seen since.
So, who cares? Willie, we know you let|skinner into the clinic.
Hey, come on! Your dad's not the only on|e in trouble here.
Suzie's life|is at stake, too.
She needs|that dialysis machine.
Now, come on! Where do i find skinner? All right.
I will show you|where to find skinner, but not for that man|who says he's my father.
For suzie.
Ok.
For suzie.
There it is.
All right.
|Wait here, willie.
The one from the bar|yesterday.
You come looking|for more trouble? Huh? No.
Not really.
Not really.
You're gonna die, pal.
You go that way.
Don't make me hurt you.
If this boy means|anything to you, come out! If you don't,|i'll blow him away! You hear me? Come on.
It's a big ocean out there with a|lot of hungry fish waiting for you.
Could start|a feeding frenzy.
Arrange for a boat to pick 'em|up.
I want them gone, out of here.
got it the cavalry's come for me.
|How about that? You feel as ba|d as you look? Oh, man,|i've had better days.
Yeah, you had me worried.
Hey, thanks for trying|to give me a hand, willie.
I was helping macgyver|for suzie, not you.
I have to give it to you, kid.
|You are consistent.
So what do you think? Stay here and keep an|eye on 'em .
come on.
I think we need a plan here, use that|to blow the lock.
Chloroform? How's an anesthetic|gonna do that? We'll put fire to it.
|It'll blow, believe me what do i do for a fuse? Soak something in alcohol.
A shoelace.
Yeah, good.
What about the guard?|I'm working on that.
Psst! Hey, willie.
I wanna make my peace|with you in case we don't get out of|here with all of our bones.
I have nothing to say.
Well, i do.
All i'm asking for is you to|listen to what i have to say.
Talk is cheap|and you got lots of it look, kid, i know you haven't had|an easy time of it.
We live in a world where most|people don't have it easy.
You rich americans, what do you|know about it? You have everything.
Not all of us|are rich, willie.
We don't all live in in fine|houses, and and drive big cars, and eat 3 steaks a day.
In fact, a lot of us live|from hand to mouth, just like some of the people|in this country.
Words.
You speak words,|and the words say nothing.
I've heard too many promises|already in my life.
You're not the only on e who's|an outcast in his own country.
I've been there.
In fact, in some ways,|i'm still there.
Hey, i don't blame you|for being angry.
But you've got to learn|to overcome it.
Anger only gets in your way when you're|trying to make important decisions that's gonna affect you|the rest of your life.
My mother.
She spoke of you many times.
"Someday he will come back|for us," she said.
Only someday came too late|for my mother.
God, i wish it could|have been different.
, hey, guys, sorry to break this up but i think it's time|we bust out of here.
Go to work.
|Willie, give me a hand stay down.
I'll call you back|Hurry.
Come on.
Lighter.
Get the key.
Get the key! You did soak it in alcohol|, didn't you? Yeah, i soaked it.
Willie? How's the machine? It's ok, it's not hurt.
Suzie's gonna be fine,|isn't she? Yeah.
She'll be just fine.
Well, come on, jesse.
|You gotta at least ask him.
Man, bounty hunting|is nothing compared to this.
Macgyver's, uh, got some visas to fly the sick kids|to america for medical treatment.
I'm going|i'm going with them.
Um, listen, uh, he also managed to work an|extra visa out of the embassy.
You think you might|want to come along? I don't know what kind|of father i'd be.
I well, i never thought|about it.
But i'm willing|to give it a try if What should i do, mama couldn't pull it off,|slick.
Goodbye, mama.
You sure?
|Ok.
Thank you.
The new|dialysis machine.
Yeah, see? I told you|not to worry, doc.
Yeah, i should have known.

For 15 years.
So? So she had a kid.

|Let's go! All right, go! There you go, suzie.
|It's a work of art.
Just in time.
The old one broke down|yesterday.
Am i going to be attached|to it all the time? Not all the time, suzie.
Just for a 3-hour|treatment every other day.
And when i get to america, and you give me that new|kidney you promised me, macgyver, will i be able to play, and go to school, and do all the things|i used to do? Yeah.
That's right.
Ta-da! That's what happens|when you eat too much.
Nothing here,|nothing there.
Whoa! Is something in there?|Let me see.
Whoa! Whoa! Look at that look at this! That's it, folks.
That's all i know is 3 tricks,|and you've seen 'em all.
Bye! Bye! Have you ever considered giving up|bounty hunting and going on the stage? Once.
When this, uh,|dude i was tracking threw me out|a 6th floor window.
All right.
So, the phoenix foundation|is gonna fly the sick kids to america|for treatment? No, just suzie and the 5|emergency cases in here.
As soon as the visas|come through.
Well, this ain't|the middle ages, folks e they can get those|kind of operations her as well|as anywhere else.
Not amerasians, mr.
Colton they are very low-priority when it comes|to expensive , lifesaving operations.
Half-asian, half-american,|they are treated as outcasts.
They have nowhere else to turn,|except to private institutions like the phoenix foundatio|n and other charities.
What about the others?|The, uh, kids in the street? Good question.
May the lord receive her into his peace, and raise up her body|on the last day.
Amen.
I will keep my promise|to you.
I will put a headstone|on your grave, like all|the rich people have.
I swear it, mama.
willie? This is jesse colton.
While my mothe|r was in the bed waiting for god|to take her to heaven, she told me my father|was coming to bangkok.
Are you my father? I can see in your face|that you are my father.
Can you not see in my face|that i am your son? Go easy on me, boy.
I never knew about you.
This is kind of scary.
Then you are my father i guess so.
You slime! Willie well, i'll be a son of that kid stole my wallet! Willie! Oh, forget it! Forget it, man,|forget it.
Let him go.
I guess it's plain he didn't wanna|have anything to do with me, huh? He didn't get very much.
My mama taught me never to keep a picture of|andrew jackson in your wallet.
Now, you come back soon,|folks.
Bring your money, all right? Come|in, sir.
Come right this way, pal.
Ok, got some great deals|for you.

Yes,|sir, i got some great deals for you.
Oh, step this way, ma'am.
|You'll like it, too.
then we're gonna talk|cash discount, all right? Where else can you fin d merchandise|like this at such bargain prices it's a steal, folks,|i tell you, a steal.
Now, go in there and take a look|around.
We got a lot more stuff, sir.
Ringe, show these people|what we got.
Typewriters, tapes,|videos, you name it.
You like that|motorcycle, kid? You got the money, you got it.
|We got lots more to look at.
Socks, we got acrylic, nylon,|all kinds of socks up there.
More sneakers, more|you like those ties, ma'am your husband would|look great in those.
We got more sandals, too.
Ringe, i|told you to keep these tapes neat! Skinner.
You looking for a meal, kid? The garbage pails|are out on the pier.
A friend told me that you sell|things.
And that you buy things also.
Yes, that's right.
Get on with|it.
I found this on the street.
You found it?|Sure you did, kid.
So what happened|to the money? There was none.
|Only the cards.
They say credit cards|are worth money.
"Jesse colton.
Seems this colton person had some|connection with the phoenix clinic.
That mean anything to you?|No.
How much will you|give for it? Ordinarily, not much.
But you're lucky, my boy.
|200 baht.
Maybe even 5.
Sure, kid, sure.
But it's not that easy.
Something you got to do first.
Hi, macgyver.
|Look at me.
I'm flying.
Yeah,|it's a piece of cake, huh? It's fantastic.
|Look at how good she looks you're going to be|all right, suzie.
Of course i am, with you and macgyver|to look after me.
Yep, see?|That's what friends are for.
We have a problem with|the embassy, macgyver.
What, the kids' visas again? Yes.
They still|haven't issued them.
If we don't have them|by at least noon tomorrow, you'll have to|postpone the flight again.
These kids are sick,|and they're getting sicker.
Don't those people|understand that? Baan jar, number 10,|poi dang road.
Yeah, got it.
Any other stonecutters|in the area? Thanks.
Hey, i didn't think you were|interested in tracking willie down.
It's not the kid,|it's the credit cards.
You know what a hassle it is trying|to get new ones? Oh, yeah, sure so what'd you|come up with? If you're not busy.
|Yeah, sure just got a quick stop|to make along the way.
Look, macgyver,|you have to understand.
The thai government isn't very|sympathetic to your amerasians.
They're your amerasians,|too, rog.
The point is, there are some|in the government who don't like the idea of being|shown up by the phoenix foundation.
You wanna spell that out|for me? It's simple enough, isn't it? Flying those kids back to the|states for medical procedures is a form of charity.
There are those who feel|that charity begins at home, and don't want the government|embarrassed in the eyes of the world.
They say they'll look after it|themselves.
Yeah, sure.
6 months, a year,|whenever they get around to it.
These kids don't have|that much time.
I'm sorry.
My hands are tied.
Well, ok.
Then i guess we'll|have to spring this story to the washington post,|time, newsweek shh.
It's a good idea,|slick.
You never know what a little|publicit y like that'll do.
It'd get me called up before a congressional|committee, that's what it would do.
Oh! Darn.
All right.
|I'll see what i can do.
When? Give me a week.
Tomorrow, rog.
Tomorrow noon, 6 visas make that 7 visas.
The extra one's for a boy|named willie tran.
Can you remember|that name, rog? Thanks, rog.
Thank you very much! Like i told you, my boy,|honesty is the best policy.
I'll be waiting around back.
Well, hello, willie.
|How can i help you? This belongs to the man|who calls himself my father.
Mr.
Colton? I found it.
|Now i want to give it back well, he's out|with mr.
Macgyver just now.
I expect|they'll be back soon.
Do you want to leave it?|No.
I'll wait.
All right.
|Make yourself comfortable.
Bingo.
Stonecutter said willie was|here a couple of hours ago.
He ordered a stone any idea where he went? No.
Just that he was going to get|the money for it and come back.
Willie Willie hi, suzie.
I've been wanting|to see you.
I'm so sorry|about your mother.
Are you ok? Yeah.
L i see|you got the new machine.
Yes.
Just in time.
The old one stopped working.
Real complicated-looking|thing, isn't it? How does it work? I don't know.
But it keeps me alive.
Wow.
|Yes.
I would die without it why do you ask? Are you gonna|be a doctor someday? Maybe.
A boy like you Yes, i believe you can Oh, yeah.
All right, come on, you little|monsters, let's clear it out.
What did i tell you about honesty,|my boy? It works every time.
Come on, get out of here.
Hustle! Listen to me, i don't want|anything damaged, all right? If it says "fragile,"|it means don't break it.
Take everything.
|Everything.
Take the dust|off the walls! Get this one|out of here.
You join our little group,|my lad, and that is|just the beginning.
Mr.
Skinner, no, they|mustn't take that machine.
Get serious, kid.
|Everything goes.
No, not that!|What are you doing? Let go of it! Leave off,|you little sewer rat! Come on, let's get|the rest of this stuff.
Yes.
Mr.
Colton? Yes, at the clinic|.
thank you.
You're a very lucky man,|mr.
Colton.
Very few people lose their|wallet and get it back.
What are you|talking about, doc? Willie.
He found it somewhere,|and came to give it back.
He's here? Where? Wandering around.
Dr.
Triwai! Strange people , dr.
Triwai.
What people, ko lin? In|the back.
Strange people i'll check it out.
Come|on.
I'm gonna dig up willie.
Where'd you see 'em? They have a truck|parked near the back.
Why don't you go|get in the truck? We got ourselves|a good haul today, huh I'll just clean off|this bottom shelf.
You never know what's|stashed away in these places.
Go on, go!|Go, go, go! What happened?|They cleaned out the joint.
It's willie! All right.
|Thanks, pete.
What did mr.
Thornton say? Is the foundation going to|replace the dialysis machine? Yeah.
The problem is, it'll|take 4 or 5 days to get here.
Suzie can't wait|that long, macgyver.
If she misses a treatment,|it could be fatal.
I'll try|the other hospitals again.
Come on, boy,|talk to me.
Why didn't you just tell m e|you needed money for a tombstone? I would've given it to you .
you|didn't have to steal my wallet.
How you doing,|willie? Man.
He is one stubborn kid look, I'm not putting you on how much is that stone|gonna cost? Come on, how much? I don't need your money.
Man! He must be my kid, all right!|He's got a lot of dumb pride! Why won't you|let me help you? Because i hate you.
You show me this money, you think|it's going to make you my father? Where were you|when i needed a father? Hey, willie,|that's not quite fair.
He didn't even know about you|until he got here this morning.
But he knew about my mother.
Where were you all those|years she worked day and night just to put food|on the table? I loved your mother.
Many years ago, when they|pulled m e out of saigon, i told your mother that i|was gonna come back for her.
When i did, she was gone.
To cambodia, thailand there were all kinds|of rumors.
But i never stopped|looking for her.
I show you my money.
I will buy a stone for|my mother with my money.
I will do this without the help of|a father who was never my father.
Where did you get all that it's none of your business.
Hey, willie.
Come here.
You see, willie, the|thing that's got me puzzled is that door.
Since you're|the only eyewitness, maybe you can tell me how the|thieves might have gotten in without breaking|the lock, hmm? I don't know.
|They were already in.
It doesn't take|a brain surgeon to figure out|that it was an inside job.
Does that make sense|to you, willie? That somebody from the inside|opened the door for 'em? Who? Hey, willie! I don't see him anywhere.
This crowd of people|swallowed him up.
Forget it, man.
|He's gone.
Long gone.
What about suzie? She gonna be able to make it|without that machine? The only way|she's gonna make it is if we|get that machine back.
Yeah, how are we|gonna do that? We don't even know who|ripped it off.
Willie knows.
Yeah, but we gotta|find him first.
Out in these streets,|that could take forever.
We don't have forever.
Well, then you got to fix the|old dialysis machine, don't you? Jesse, if it was in the|least bit fixable, i would.
You're the man!|You can do it.
While you're|working on it, i'll call|an old army buddy of mine.
Maybe he can give us a lead on who|fences hot property around here.
I don't know, jesse,|it looks pretty hopeless.
Come on, man,|you can fix anything.
Yeah, sure.
No problem.
George, jesse colton here.
Hey, buddy, how are you? Yeah, i'm in bangkok.
Listen, um,|i need you to do me a favor.
I'm looking|for some local creep who knocked over a bunch of medical|supplies at a friend of mine's clinic.
Yeah.
He uses kids|to do his dirty work.
Any progress? Well, the pump that|circulates the rinsing liquid is pretty much shot.
I can get it to circulate,|but not perfectly.
Any irregularity or|turbulence in the blood flow could cause clotting.
Got it fixed, slick? No, i don't have it fixed! There are some things in this|world that can't be fixed, and this happens|to be one of 'em.
And we don't need a|seat-of-the-pants patch job.
What we need|is the new dialysis machine.
Can't risk suzie's lif|e on this thing.
Macgyver, am i gonna die now? Jesse colton,|call on line 1.
Excuse me.
No, baby,|you're not gonna die.
You think if you lie,|i'll feel better? No.
I think i'm gonna find that|machine and get you back on it hey, i appreciate it, baby.
It's my army contact.
He gave me a lead|on a guy named skinner.
Says he loves to gamble.
That's p-pathetic! Hit the sucker,|don't blow him a kiss! Kind of place that sticks|to the bottom of your shoes.
Watch where you're|stepping, then.
Yeah.
This is like coming home.
You've been here before? No, not this joint.
But the good|ones are all alike, aren't they? That's him.
How do you know it's him? My man told me|he was about 6 feet, curly hair, mean,|wears a red bandanna.
Slightly pale.
Works for me.
So what do you think? He's a businessman.
Let's do some business.
Yeah! Go on up there.
|Hit him! The nest of the eagle|is empty, man.
What?|What do you mean, "what"? What does he mean,|"what"? The nest of the eagle|is empty.
Look, pal, i have got a|lot of bread on this fight.
Now get away from me|or i'll punch your heart out.
Hey.
He doesn't know|the password.
This ain't|frank skinner, man i'm skinner, all right?|I am skinner.
Now, who the hell|are you guys? Colonel mugwana.
|This is major bright.
We were told we had to|do this password bit in order to do busines|s with you.
This creep in manila was putting|us on about the password, man.
Wait a minute,|what kind of business? The revolution business.
The major and me are running a|little war on the island of mindoro.
That's a little south|of manila.
I know where it is.
See, the thing is, we need more guns, more|ammunition, and everything.
We were told you were the|guy that could handle it.
Yeah, i can handle it,|if you've got the money.
Does the sun|rise in the east? We've gotta see the|merchandise first, though.
All right, you got it.
I'll get right on it.
As soon as this|fight's finished.
Come on, hit him! Uh-oh.
What "uh-oh"? What? Uh-oh, you'll see.
It's him.
|What? It's the one|from the clinic.
What are you saying? He's the one who came running into|the alley when we were driving away.
Let the games begin.
Let's get out of here.
They're splitting! Whatever you want, man.
Morning, willie.
|Hold it.
I just wanna talk.
About what? Frank skinner.
|Where do i find him? I don't know anybody|by that name.
I think you do.
Your dad took off after hi m yesterday|afternoon.
He hasn't been seen since.
So, who cares? Willie, we know you let|skinner into the clinic.
Hey, come on! Your dad's not the only on|e in trouble here.
Suzie's life|is at stake, too.
She needs|that dialysis machine.
Now, come on! Where do i find skinner? All right.
I will show you|where to find skinner, but not for that man|who says he's my father.
For suzie.
Ok.
For suzie.
There it is.
All right.
|Wait here, willie.
The one from the bar|yesterday.
You come looking|for more trouble? Huh? No.
Not really.
Not really.
You're gonna die, pal.
You go that way.
Don't make me hurt you.
If this boy means|anything to you, come out! If you don't,|i'll blow him away! You hear me? Come on.
It's a big ocean out there with a|lot of hungry fish waiting for you.
Could start|a feeding frenzy.
Arrange for a boat to pick 'em|up.
I want them gone, out of here.
got it the cavalry's come for me.
|How about that? You feel as ba|d as you look? Oh, man,|i've had better days.
Yeah, you had me worried.
Hey, thanks for trying|to give me a hand, willie.
I was helping macgyver|for suzie, not you.
I have to give it to you, kid.
|You are consistent.
So what do you think? Stay here and keep an|eye on 'em .
come on.
I think we need a plan here, use that|to blow the lock.
Chloroform? How's an anesthetic|gonna do that? We'll put fire to it.
|It'll blow, believe me what do i do for a fuse? Soak something in alcohol.
A shoelace.
Yeah, good.
What about the guard?|I'm working on that.
Psst! Hey, willie.
I wanna make my peace|with you in case we don't get out of|here with all of our bones.
I have nothing to say.
Well, i do.
All i'm asking for is you to|listen to what i have to say.
Talk is cheap|and you got lots of it look, kid, i know you haven't had|an easy time of it.
We live in a world where most|people don't have it easy.
You rich americans, what do you|know about it? You have everything.
Not all of us|are rich, willie.
We don't all live in in fine|houses, and and drive big cars, and eat 3 steaks a day.
In fact, a lot of us live|from hand to mouth, just like some of the people|in this country.
Words.
You speak words,|and the words say nothing.
I've heard too many promises|already in my life.
You're not the only on e who's|an outcast in his own country.
I've been there.
In fact, in some ways,|i'm still there.
Hey, i don't blame you|for being angry.
But you've got to learn|to overcome it.
Anger only gets in your way when you're|trying to make important decisions that's gonna affect you|the rest of your life.
My mother.
She spoke of you many times.
"Someday he will come back|for us," she said.
Only someday came too late|for my mother.
God, i wish it could|have been different.
, hey, guys, sorry to break this up but i think it's time|we bust out of here.
Go to work.
|Willie, give me a hand stay down.
I'll call you back|Hurry.
Come on.
Lighter.
Get the key.
Get the key! You did soak it in alcohol|, didn't you? Yeah, i soaked it.
Willie? How's the machine? It's ok, it's not hurt.
Suzie's gonna be fine,|isn't she? Yeah.
She'll be just fine.
Well, come on, jesse.
|You gotta at least ask him.
Man, bounty hunting|is nothing compared to this.
Macgyver's, uh, got some visas to fly the sick kids|to america for medical treatment.
I'm going|i'm going with them.
Um, listen, uh, he also managed to work an|extra visa out of the embassy.
You think you might|want to come along? I don't know what kind|of father i'd be.
I well, i never thought|about it.
But i'm willing|to give it a try if What should i do, mama couldn't pull it off,|slick.
Goodbye, mama.
You sure?
