Thanks.
You're welcome.
Jones and Taylor just got it.
How many guys have we got left?
Just you and me.
I think the best route is due west
about a hundred yards.
MacGyver, I want to tell you
how much I appreciate your being here.
Save it till we get that little silver box back.
Here.
Just for insurance.
Pete, you know how I feel about those things.
Yeah, I do, but you're defenseless out here.
No, just weaponless.
Come on.
There it is.
The silver box is hidden right under that bridge.
Uh-oh.
Looks like 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 last 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?
Haven't seen anybody else.
What's that? 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'll keep watch.
I guess you're right, Pete.
This was pretty easy.
I'm hit!
Pete?
There goes the trophy again!
Hey, Jeff, I want to 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've really got to 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. Slow.
It's just I can't hold off telling Kelly any longer.
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.
Uh, 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.
What about diplomatic channels?
Have you exhausted them?
I've pulled every chain in the State Department.
That 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 workin' here now.
Why don't you go on home?
But haven't you found out anything yet?
Are they gonna let my dad go?
Well, the State Department's still making some 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 is done?
Well, the chopper'll 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 little 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.
Almost time for the green light. Better get ready.
I'll see ya soon.
Not soon enough, partner. Go get him, huh?
Any time you're ready...
What are you doing here?
Relax. I'm just leavin'.
What kind of stunt do you think you were playin' up there?
Do you realize you could have killed yourself?
Relax. I know what I'm doing. I've been trained in this.
Now the first thing we got to do is chart our distance
to the border of the military zone.
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 you're comin' 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,
nine millimeter automatic, and ten clips.
Kelly, this isn't a game.
People down here don't come back to life when you blow a whistle.
I know that.
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?
No. Come on, you're wastin' time.
Kelly?
You're goin' the wrong way.
Cuánto para dos?
Uno sesenta.
- ¿Bien? - Sí. Gracias.
Colonel, I'm Lieutenant Raul Parra.
Welcome, lieutenant.
I understand you have been appointed by the central government
to represent the American in court.
That's correct, sir.
Good.
Traigan a Henderson.
I've been told there's no real proof of his guilt.
The problem is being corrected as we speak.
Classified documents have been planted in his plane.
Please have a seat, Mr. Henderson.
I would like you to meet the public defender
who's been assigned to represent you.
Let's not play any games. No one's going to 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.
Please 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 20 years in prison.
But I didn't do anything.
That is not the issue any longer, is it?
You have till tomorrow morning to decide.
Encierrenlo.
You know, this is a lot easier than I expected.
I thought we'd be dodging bullets in the jungle,
and instead, we're taking a nice little cruise into town.
I think the cruise just ended.
I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like
the police are going to check the bus.
Sometimes, they grab people who don't have the right papers.
Sometimes, they shoot 'em.
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 here.
Por favor,
tengo una familia, tengo tres hijos.
Por favor, no me maten, no me maten.
Esto es un puesto militar.
¿Alguien tiene algo que reportar?
Hmm?
Bajense todos del autobus.
Vamos. Pronto. Bene.
Deme su papellas pronto, pronto.
Americano.
Sí. Buenos días.
I like Americans.
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?
¿Qué va a pasar con ellos?
Si, si, si, me maten,
ellos van a morir de hambre.
Por favor, piensen en mis hijos...
Don't run Kelly, don't run!
Hold it, hold it, hold it!
It's a misunderstanding.
Big misunderstanding.
Now, why were you hiding from us?
She lost her passport. She was scared.
That's why she was hiding.
Let me see.
Tear gas.
Hmm.
Mini flares.
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...
Please go on.
I said go on.
Habla.
Come on, we don't need that...
Sir, the weapons are mine. Leave him alone!
Very noble, but you should be
concerned about your own fate.
Down on your knees.
Now!
Yeah!
Los Americanos se escaparon.
Díganselo a los ostros.
You're lucky that soldier didn't shoot you back there.
I figured, "What would Dad do?"
He's quite a guy, huh?
I'll never be that great, for sure.
Do you have to be?
This place gives me the creeps.
Where is everybody?
Well, the military must have moved 'em out,
centralized the people to control 'em.
Where's my dad?
Up there.
What are we waiting for?
- We have to hide until dark. - Why?
My contact.
I'm going to meet him at the church on the edge of town at 2100 hours.
Until then, we stay put.
Hungry?
I guess I left 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?
Ah, we're a little early.
MacGyver?
You must be Lieutenant...
Parra.
- Buenas noches. - Buenas noches.
How's my father?
He's injured his leg, but he's well otherwise.
Is he going to be able to make it to the pickup point?
He'll have to.
All 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 going to ditch me here
- like some kid! - Shh!
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 want to rescue him,
and believe me, I don't want to leave 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 like...
just like...
A son?
Did he say that to you?
That he wanted a son?
He didn't have to.
That's an awful lot to assume, isn't it?
Maybe I am trying to prove something,
but I want him to be safe.
That's first.
Okay, I'll stay behind.
Thanks.
We'll get him back.
Lieutenant...
So, is everything still on schedule?
Perfectly.
Raise your hands.
Move.
Chocolate.
You can keep that if you'd like.
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 outta 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 want to be here any longer 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 organized this?
He sent one man to get me past an army?
Yeah.
Unfortunately, we have a little unsolicited help.
Your daughter's waiting on the outside, too.
Outside? Where?
Shh-- just take it easy, will you?
She's all right as long 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 want 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 the rescue attempt failed.
Henderson must be very demoralized 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 lack 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 leaves, I'll drop a pouch
of plastique explosive through the window...
Oh, wait a minute.
I don't know about plastique.
The noise is liable to attract more soldiers than we can handle.
Uh...
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.
Uh, follow the coil down to what?
All right, uh, wait a minute.
Um, 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.
All right.
Follow that coil down to a small canister
that contains freon gas.
Crimp both ends of that canister
so the gas doesn't leak out.
Cut it off and bring it to me.
What're you gonna use the freon for?
Gonna break the lock. Quietly.
Um... uh...
Whoa, excuse me.
Um, hello?
We could sure use all the fresh air we can get in here.
You are lucky to be breathing at all, señor.
We take no more chances now.
Now how're 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, look at it this way.
He's getting just as tired as we are.
Gotcha!
MacGyver...
can you knock a board out?
Nah, it's too noisy.
Just like the plastique.
Go around back.
You'll get a little visitor through the drain pipe.
Time for your big escape.
You think there's enough freon to freeze the lock?
I'll tell you when it's empty.
Should do it?
Yeah, should shatter like a piece of glass.
I hope.
Do it -- the guard's coming back.
Come on.
Report this to Captain Barbero. Y pronto.
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 looking for you.
I was worried you wouldn't come back.
Shh. All right, all right. We gotta go.
- You all right? - I'll be okay.
Come on.
Hold up.
Leg's gone, huh?
Not much left.
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'll never make it there on foot in time.
Yeah, well, the road's bound to be blocked...
but that railway line 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 long 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 wheel base 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're 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?
All 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'll 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're you doing?
Trying to slow up our friends.
I think we'll 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 light this fuse.
They're getting closer, MacGyver.
Hurry! We're almost there.
Got it!
Okay!
Look, the chopper!
Well, it looks like 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'll get here any minute.
I'll get you to that steak house on time.
Believe him, Pete.
He wasn't a minute late with that chopper.
Ah, just a little pickup and delivery.
You know, business as usual.
You know, I heard this morning Colonel Salazar has fled the country.
Looks like 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 late.
Had to do a few things.
Well, now wait a minute. Hold on.
Look at this beautiful young lady.
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.
