1
00:00:55,288 --> 00:00:58,324
( Crowd murmurs )

2
00:00:58,391 --> 00:00:59,793
Now that I have your attention,

3
00:00:59,859 --> 00:01:03,797
let it be known that
the annual fizzics follies

4
00:01:03,863 --> 00:01:09,502
Has been fractioned
to the final four finalists.

5
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:10,670
The great,

6
00:01:10,737 --> 00:01:12,772
Just ask him, Geoffrey Kramer.

7
00:01:12,839 --> 00:01:13,773
Woman: Geoffrey!

8
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,176
( Applause )

9
00:01:17,710 --> 00:01:19,679
the beautiful, in both brain

10
00:01:19,746 --> 00:01:20,847
and body, Hillary Chapman.

11
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:21,781
Man: All right, Hillary!

12
00:01:21,848 --> 00:01:23,850
You get my vote!

13
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:27,587
The prodigal son

14
00:01:27,654 --> 00:01:30,123
Of the great one
himself, David ryman.

15
00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:31,274
All right, David!

16
00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:32,358
You can do it. You can do it.

17
00:01:31,275 --> 00:01:32,358
!

18
00:01:32,425 --> 00:01:35,195
And last, but
certainly not least,

19
00:01:35,261 --> 00:01:37,664
uh, this year's cinch winner

20
00:01:37,730 --> 00:01:42,669
With the best barricade since
the great wall of China... me.

21
00:01:42,735 --> 00:01:46,105
( Laughter, applause )

22
00:01:49,509 --> 00:01:50,643
Thank you...

23
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:51,711
Thank you.

24
00:01:53,847 --> 00:01:55,315
Woman: We love you, guy.

25
00:01:55,381 --> 00:01:56,316
Man: All right.

26
00:01:56,382 --> 00:01:57,650
Aaron: Good luck, everybody.

27
00:01:57,717 --> 00:01:58,852
See you later.

28
00:01:58,918 --> 00:02:00,119
David: MacGyver!

29
00:02:00,186 --> 00:02:01,120
Bye.

30
00:02:01,187 --> 00:02:02,355
Hey, MacGyver!

31
00:02:02,422 --> 00:02:05,658
Dad told me you were coming
to judge the barricade contest.

32
00:02:05,725 --> 00:02:08,328
Yeah, it's kinda tough to
refuse a request from your dad.

33
00:02:08,394 --> 00:02:09,796
How you doing, David?

34
00:02:09,863 --> 00:02:11,264
Oh, pretty good.

35
00:02:11,331 --> 00:02:12,699
You sure haven't changed much.

36
00:02:12,765 --> 00:02:13,766
That's the same jacket

37
00:02:13,833 --> 00:02:15,768
you had ten years ago, isn't it?

38
00:02:15,835 --> 00:02:18,638
Yeah, I'm kind
of attached to it.

39
00:02:18,705 --> 00:02:19,806
Listen, congratulations.

40
00:02:19,873 --> 00:02:21,474
I hear you're one
of the finalists.

41
00:02:21,541 --> 00:02:24,310
Following ryman family
tradition right down the line.

42
00:02:24,377 --> 00:02:26,312
Now all I got to do is win.

43
00:02:26,379 --> 00:02:28,314
Yeah, but don't worry. With you

44
00:02:28,381 --> 00:02:30,149
Here as referee, the fix is in.

45
00:02:30,216 --> 00:02:31,651
- Sure it is.!
- Look, I got to go

46
00:02:31,718 --> 00:02:32,928
Pick something up before class.

47
00:02:32,952 --> 00:02:34,830
You heading over to
check in with the great one?

48
00:02:34,854 --> 00:02:35,788
Yep.

49
00:02:35,855 --> 00:02:37,857
Okay, I'll catch you there.

50
00:03:14,727 --> 00:03:16,796
MacGyver: The fizzics
follies had been a tradition

51
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:20,600
At western tech
for almost 30 years.

52
00:03:20,667 --> 00:03:22,936
The first winner of
the barricade contest

53
00:03:23,002 --> 00:03:25,939
was my mentor, Julian ryman,
who had barricaded the lab

54
00:03:26,005 --> 00:03:28,541
in the physics buildig
during his senior yea.

55
00:03:28,608 --> 00:03:29,776
Ryman went on to becoe

56
00:03:29,842 --> 00:03:32,645
A professor and a
nobel prize winner.

57
00:03:32,712 --> 00:03:34,781
Not all of us were so brilliant.

58
00:03:34,847 --> 00:03:36,282
Welcome back,

59
00:03:36,349 --> 00:03:37,483
MacGyver.

60
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:40,520
Reflecting on past glories?

61
00:03:40,587 --> 00:03:41,864
It does bring back
some memories.

62
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:42,989
How you doing, professor?

63
00:03:43,056 --> 00:03:44,390
Oh, fine.

64
00:03:44,457 --> 00:03:46,659
I continue to be a
little disappointed

65
00:03:46,726 --> 00:03:50,296
When those who show a
shred of promise flee the fold.

66
00:03:50,363 --> 00:03:53,766
There you are, MacGyver,
in the physics hall of fame.

67
00:03:53,833 --> 00:03:56,769
But where are you, MacGyver?

68
00:03:56,836 --> 00:03:58,371
Happy doing what I'm doing.

69
00:03:58,438 --> 00:04:00,707
Oh, nonsense. You should
have stayed with physics.

70
00:04:00,773 --> 00:04:03,643
I expanded my horizons,
went in other directions.

71
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:05,645
Ohh... ( Chuckles )

72
00:04:05,712 --> 00:04:06,956
so you're looking
forward to seeing

73
00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:08,657
your son's picture up
there along with yours?

74
00:04:08,681 --> 00:04:10,316
( Scoffing chuckle )

75
00:04:10,383 --> 00:04:11,818
I saw David outside.

76
00:04:11,884 --> 00:04:12,652
How's he doing?

77
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:15,622
B's. He's getting
b's. A few a's.

78
00:04:16,623 --> 00:04:18,558
That's not what I mean.

79
00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:19,993
How is he doing?

80
00:04:20,059 --> 00:04:22,295
Oh!

81
00:04:22,362 --> 00:04:24,364
Fine.

82
00:04:24,430 --> 00:04:26,833
( Bell clanging )

83
00:04:26,899 --> 00:04:29,302
Come and see the
next generation in action.

84
00:04:29,369 --> 00:04:31,704
You can be depressed
along with me.

85
00:04:44,717 --> 00:04:47,920
( Various indistinct
conversations )

86
00:04:58,865 --> 00:05:01,901
23.7 below.

87
00:05:01,968 --> 00:05:03,436
Perfect.

88
00:05:03,503 --> 00:05:04,637
Hi.

89
00:05:04,704 --> 00:05:05,824
When I heard the rumor about

90
00:05:05,872 --> 00:05:09,308
some nerdling breaking into
the RotC storage compound

91
00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:10,843
and making off
with their Cannon,

92
00:05:10,910 --> 00:05:12,512
I wondered, "where's David?"

93
00:05:12,578 --> 00:05:14,514
Oh, vicious lies.

94
00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:16,516
I didn't forget. Happy birthday.

95
00:05:16,582 --> 00:05:17,517
Thanks.

96
00:05:17,583 --> 00:05:18,918
It was yesterday.

97
00:05:18,985 --> 00:05:21,754
Oh, I'm sorry.

98
00:05:21,821 --> 00:05:23,856
You seem to say
that a lot lately.

99
00:05:23,923 --> 00:05:27,393
Well, I guess I've had
a lot on my mind lately.

100
00:05:27,460 --> 00:05:29,395
Like the barricade contest?

101
00:05:29,462 --> 00:05:31,631
You didn't sleep again
last night, did you, David?

102
00:05:31,698 --> 00:05:33,032
You look awful.

103
00:05:33,099 --> 00:05:34,901
You're gonna kill yourself.

104
00:05:34,967 --> 00:05:37,336
Well, the thought
crossed my mind.

105
00:05:37,403 --> 00:05:38,971
Quit talking like that.

106
00:05:39,038 --> 00:05:41,908
I'm kidding. Just kidding.

107
00:05:46,713 --> 00:05:48,014
Student 1: I got about 84.

108
00:05:48,081 --> 00:05:49,916
- Student 2: Here he comes.
- You did?

109
00:05:49,982 --> 00:05:51,017
- Yeah.
- Oh, good.

110
00:05:52,085 --> 00:05:53,653
Good afternoon, professor ryman.

111
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,655
Afternoon.

112
00:05:55,722 --> 00:05:56,722
Uh... class.

113
00:05:56,756 --> 00:05:59,058
I would like to introduce
to you Mr. MacGyver,

114
00:05:59,125 --> 00:06:02,361
Who will be observing today.

115
00:06:02,428 --> 00:06:03,529
MacGyver: Hi.

116
00:06:03,596 --> 00:06:04,664
Students: Hi.

117
00:06:04,731 --> 00:06:07,500
Mr. MacGyver is a
former student here,

118
00:06:07,567 --> 00:06:10,503
though of course, not in
your league. He was gifted.

119
00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:11,738
( Students groan )

120
00:06:12,004 --> 00:06:13,139
Mr. MacGyver

121
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:15,541
is also the alumni referee

122
00:06:15,608 --> 00:06:17,777
for the culmination of
the barricade contest,

123
00:06:17,844 --> 00:06:22,849
So I know you're going to treat
him with deference and respect.

124
00:06:22,915 --> 00:06:23,915
Ready your experiments

125
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:25,651
And I'll check them over.

126
00:06:25,718 --> 00:06:27,120
You may not be able to tell

127
00:06:27,186 --> 00:06:29,822
from some of the
constructions, MacGyver,

128
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:31,491
but the prodigies
are all focusing

129
00:06:31,557 --> 00:06:33,493
on low-temperature physics...

130
00:06:33,559 --> 00:06:36,629
Superconductors,

131
00:06:36,696 --> 00:06:38,874
because, of course, that's
where all the big bucks are today.

132
00:06:38,898 --> 00:06:41,901
Isn't that right,
my little geniuses?

133
00:06:46,105 --> 00:06:47,039
Using argon.

134
00:06:47,106 --> 00:06:48,040
Student: Yes, sir.

135
00:06:48,107 --> 00:06:50,042
How thin is your film?

136
00:06:50,109 --> 00:06:53,646
I got it down to
four atomic layers.

137
00:06:53,713 --> 00:06:56,516
That's impressive,
Mr. Kramer. Very impressive.

138
00:06:56,582 --> 00:06:57,784
Thank you, sir.

139
00:06:57,850 --> 00:06:59,786
David: Aw, now, look at this.

140
00:06:59,852 --> 00:07:01,754
These results don't
make any sense.

141
00:07:01,821 --> 00:07:03,823
Yeah, maybe you got a leak

142
00:07:03,890 --> 00:07:06,092
In the plumbing here somewhere.

143
00:07:06,159 --> 00:07:07,894
Yeah, you're
right, but I thought

144
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,562
I had it plugged yesterday.

145
00:07:09,629 --> 00:07:11,697
MacGyver: Run the
mass spectrometer again.

146
00:07:32,552 --> 00:07:33,986
Well, there it is.

147
00:07:34,053 --> 00:07:35,888
Have you tried
silicone, or apiezon?

148
00:07:35,955 --> 00:07:36,689
Silicone didn't work

149
00:07:36,756 --> 00:07:38,558
and the stockroom's
out of apiezon.

150
00:07:38,624 --> 00:07:40,726
Well, what you need
is something to stick

151
00:07:40,793 --> 00:07:42,962
In the fracture that'll
expand as it freezes.

152
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:44,163
David: Like what?

153
00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:45,998
Think... for a change.

154
00:07:47,867 --> 00:07:50,870
Yeah, well I need
the materials, don't I?

155
00:07:50,937 --> 00:07:53,039
Improvise, David.

156
00:07:53,105 --> 00:07:54,807
With what?

157
00:07:54,874 --> 00:07:56,108
( Sighs )

158
00:07:56,175 --> 00:07:57,743
MacGyver could fix it,

159
00:07:57,810 --> 00:07:59,078
couldn't you, MacGyver?

160
00:08:08,621 --> 00:08:09,621
Spit.

161
00:08:09,655 --> 00:08:10,890
Student: Sir?

162
00:08:10,957 --> 00:08:12,225
Spit, spit, spit.

163
00:08:38,751 --> 00:08:40,620
Nothing worse than a physicist

164
00:08:40,686 --> 00:08:42,154
Stupefied by the obvious.

165
00:08:53,299 --> 00:08:54,967
Don't let him get to you.

166
00:08:55,034 --> 00:08:57,570
No sweat.

167
00:09:03,175 --> 00:09:06,112
Wasn't that a little rough?

168
00:09:06,178 --> 00:09:08,948
Physics is about
truth, not tact.

169
00:09:09,015 --> 00:09:10,616
I was rough on you, too.

170
00:09:10,683 --> 00:09:11,617
Yes, you were.

171
00:09:11,684 --> 00:09:12,818
You were a tyrant,

172
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:14,787
but you humiliated David.

173
00:09:14,854 --> 00:09:16,022
He's your son.

174
00:09:17,356 --> 00:09:19,959
Nobody gonna give
him any points for that.

175
00:09:23,996 --> 00:09:25,164
Oh, I should have seen it.

176
00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:27,700
I'd been working
hours to plug that leak,

177
00:09:27,767 --> 00:09:29,278
and my father does
it in three seconds.

178
00:09:29,302 --> 00:09:31,637
Come on. He's been
doing physics his whole life.

179
00:09:31,704 --> 00:09:33,639
Yeah, right, and
he's got a nobel prize.

180
00:09:33,706 --> 00:09:34,640
But you've got me.

181
00:09:34,707 --> 00:09:35,707
Oh, he'll take notice

182
00:09:35,741 --> 00:09:37,109
When I win the
barricade contest.

183
00:09:37,176 --> 00:09:39,278
David, that contest
is not the whole world.

184
00:09:39,345 --> 00:09:40,279
Oh, I'm gonna win,

185
00:09:40,346 --> 00:09:41,747
and I'm gonna get my picture

186
00:09:41,814 --> 00:09:43,349
Up on that wall next to his.

187
00:09:46,152 --> 00:09:47,820
You want to see it?

188
00:09:47,887 --> 00:09:49,088
You want to see my barricade?

189
00:09:49,155 --> 00:09:50,089
You're kidding.

190
00:09:50,156 --> 00:09:51,891
You mean you're going to share

191
00:09:51,958 --> 00:09:53,826
the best-kept secret
on this campus?

192
00:09:53,893 --> 00:09:56,629
I'm honored. I'm
flattered, i'm...

193
00:09:56,696 --> 00:09:58,006
Hey, this is a
limited-time offer.

194
00:09:58,030 --> 00:09:59,231
Lead on.

195
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,043
I've been waiting months
to see your barricade, David.

196
00:10:20,987 --> 00:10:22,755
Bizarre, David. Really bizarre.

197
00:10:22,822 --> 00:10:25,691
Hey, are you hiding
another woman back there?

198
00:10:25,758 --> 00:10:27,393
Hey, hey, don't look back there!

199
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:29,829
Janet: David, I've
never seen you so jumpy.

200
00:10:29,895 --> 00:10:32,264
Look, if you don't
want to show it to me,

201
00:10:32,331 --> 00:10:33,766
I can wait till tomorrow.

202
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:35,901
David: No, no, it's
just I want you to try

203
00:10:35,968 --> 00:10:37,703
And figure it out first, okay?

204
00:10:37,770 --> 00:10:38,838
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

205
00:10:43,809 --> 00:10:45,811
Just wait till you see this.

206
00:10:59,425 --> 00:11:01,027
A garage-door opener.

207
00:11:01,093 --> 00:11:02,895
Oh, you ain't seen nothing yet.

208
00:11:05,498 --> 00:11:07,767
( Humming fanfare )

209
00:11:07,833 --> 00:11:09,435
A miniature!

210
00:11:09,502 --> 00:11:10,870
That's incredible!

211
00:11:10,936 --> 00:11:12,905
No wonder it's been
taking you so long.

212
00:11:12,972 --> 00:11:14,440
Aw, the true genius is the way

213
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:15,674
the miniature works.

214
00:11:15,741 --> 00:11:16,876
Janet: You mean it actually

215
00:11:16,942 --> 00:11:17,877
opens and closes?

216
00:11:17,943 --> 00:11:20,413
Yeah. Just like the real thing.

217
00:11:20,479 --> 00:11:22,381
Okay... step one.

218
00:11:22,448 --> 00:11:24,750
You're here to
bust my barricade.

219
00:11:24,817 --> 00:11:27,153
What's the first thing you do?

220
00:11:27,219 --> 00:11:28,387
Look through the peephole.

221
00:11:28,454 --> 00:11:29,755
What do you see?

222
00:11:29,822 --> 00:11:31,199
I see a room and the
garage door opener.

223
00:11:31,223 --> 00:11:32,291
Right.

224
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:34,160
But now...

225
00:11:35,828 --> 00:11:39,799
A periscope over the peephole.

226
00:11:39,865 --> 00:11:41,934
The plot thickens.

227
00:11:42,001 --> 00:11:44,770
Now what are you doing?

228
00:11:44,837 --> 00:11:46,237
I'm lining up the
model of this room

229
00:11:46,272 --> 00:11:47,940
with the periscope,
so, if you're looking

230
00:11:48,007 --> 00:11:48,941
through the peephole,

231
00:11:49,008 --> 00:11:50,076
now what do you see?

232
00:11:50,142 --> 00:11:52,745
I see the same thing.

233
00:11:52,812 --> 00:11:54,052
I see what looks like the room,

234
00:11:54,113 --> 00:11:56,048
but I'm really looking
at the miniature.

235
00:11:56,115 --> 00:11:57,049
Door locked?

236
00:11:57,116 --> 00:11:58,050
Door locked.

237
00:11:58,117 --> 00:11:59,285
Okay. What does

238
00:11:59,351 --> 00:12:02,288
A brilliant barricade
buster do next?

239
00:12:02,354 --> 00:12:05,157
I dig up a scanner to
locate the frequency

240
00:12:05,224 --> 00:12:06,826
Your remote operates on.

241
00:12:06,892 --> 00:12:08,761
Excellent. Excellent.

242
00:12:08,828 --> 00:12:10,129
Now, assuming you find it?

243
00:12:10,196 --> 00:12:11,931
Push the button...

244
00:12:12,798 --> 00:12:13,798
And the miniature opens.

245
00:12:13,833 --> 00:12:15,101
Right. And at the same time

246
00:12:15,167 --> 00:12:16,102
that's happening,

247
00:12:16,168 --> 00:12:18,170
the big motor turns,

248
00:12:18,237 --> 00:12:21,407
and the real one closes. Look.

249
00:12:21,474 --> 00:12:22,875
Janet: You mean the door is open

250
00:12:22,942 --> 00:12:25,077
The whole time they're
trying to figure it out?

251
00:12:25,144 --> 00:12:27,079
Uh-huh. And when
they solve the problem,

252
00:12:27,146 --> 00:12:28,881
the solution creates
the barricade.

253
00:12:28,948 --> 00:12:30,883
Well, what do you think?

254
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:32,118
It's brilliant.

255
00:12:37,890 --> 00:12:39,358
Worthy of the ryman name?

256
00:12:39,425 --> 00:12:42,094
Janet: Oh, more than
worthy. You're wonderful.

257
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:46,265
Oh, I can't wait to see the look

258
00:12:46,332 --> 00:12:48,801
On my father's face
when I win tomorrow.

259
00:12:48,868 --> 00:12:49,868
Neither can I.

260
00:12:52,138 --> 00:12:53,439
David...

261
00:12:53,506 --> 00:12:56,775
You promised me
you were off this stuff.

262
00:12:58,144 --> 00:12:59,145
Uh, yeah, I-I know.

263
00:12:59,211 --> 00:13:01,013
When I, when I
finish this thing.

264
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,149
No, David, you promised!

265
00:13:03,215 --> 00:13:04,917
Why don't you just lay off?

266
00:13:04,984 --> 00:13:06,085
Give them to me.

267
00:13:07,286 --> 00:13:08,954
Why don't you just
get out of here, okay?

268
00:13:09,021 --> 00:13:10,156
Leave me alone. No!

269
00:13:10,222 --> 00:13:11,824
I'm not gonna let
you kill yourself

270
00:13:11,891 --> 00:13:12,891
Over some stupid contest.

271
00:13:12,925 --> 00:13:14,226
Janet!

272
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:20,833
Janet! Wait a minute!

273
00:13:39,952 --> 00:13:41,820
All right, you all
know the rules.

274
00:13:41,887 --> 00:13:43,189
As each door is opened,

275
00:13:43,255 --> 00:13:45,858
the occupant of that
room is eliminated.

276
00:13:45,925 --> 00:13:49,595
But please, use your
wits; No heavy machinery.

277
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:50,563
( Laughter )

278
00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:52,307
The builder of the last
remaining barricade

279
00:13:52,331 --> 00:13:53,331
is the winner.

280
00:13:53,365 --> 00:13:55,267
Oh, and do remember...

281
00:13:55,334 --> 00:13:59,038
Einstein never won
a barricade contest.

282
00:13:59,104 --> 00:14:00,039
( Laughter )

283
00:14:00,105 --> 00:14:01,106
Boy: Good luck, Geoffrey.

284
00:14:01,173 --> 00:14:02,107
Uh, Janet,

285
00:14:02,174 --> 00:14:04,843
I tried calling you last night,

286
00:14:04,910 --> 00:14:05,844
but you weren't home.

287
00:14:05,911 --> 00:14:07,012
Yes, I was.

288
00:14:07,079 --> 00:14:10,182
I just didn't know what to say.

289
00:14:10,249 --> 00:14:11,917
But I'm really sorry.

290
00:14:11,984 --> 00:14:13,919
David?

291
00:14:14,853 --> 00:14:18,157
You waiting for an
engraved invitation?

292
00:14:20,626 --> 00:14:23,195
Go win your contest, David.

293
00:14:23,262 --> 00:14:25,231
I'll talk to you later.

294
00:14:25,297 --> 00:14:26,298
Yeah.

295
00:14:41,313 --> 00:14:43,983
What's the matter?
You seem worried.

296
00:14:44,049 --> 00:14:44,984
You saw him. He's a wreck.

297
00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:46,952
The others started
working on their barricade

298
00:14:47,019 --> 00:14:48,187
Maybe a week or two ago.

299
00:14:48,254 --> 00:14:51,390
David's devoted his
life to it for months.

300
00:14:51,457 --> 00:14:53,092
- Why?
- To win.

301
00:14:53,158 --> 00:14:56,228
To show his father he's
cut of the ryman cloth.

302
00:14:56,295 --> 00:14:59,231
What does the
professor think about this?

303
00:14:59,298 --> 00:15:00,232
Are you kidding?

304
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:02,067
He can't see past his own ego.

305
00:15:02,134 --> 00:15:05,471
He has no idea what
he's doing to his own son.

306
00:15:05,537 --> 00:15:07,573
I mean, it's no wonder
David's taking...

307
00:15:10,609 --> 00:15:11,677
Taking what?

308
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:13,312
Nothing.

309
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:14,546
Janet...

310
00:15:14,613 --> 00:15:17,149
Is David taking drugs?

311
00:15:17,216 --> 00:15:19,585
It's all the time now.

312
00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:21,687
He's moody, he doesn't eat,

313
00:15:21,754 --> 00:15:23,022
he never sleeps.

314
00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:24,623
And he jokes
about killing himself,

315
00:15:24,690 --> 00:15:26,492
and I can't tell if
he's serious or not.

316
00:15:26,558 --> 00:15:27,669
Janet, if you care about him,

317
00:15:27,693 --> 00:15:29,495
it's something you
got to deal with.

318
00:15:29,561 --> 00:15:30,681
It's not just gonna go away.

319
00:15:30,729 --> 00:15:32,097
I've got to talk to him.

320
00:15:32,164 --> 00:15:34,066
No! No, please.

321
00:15:34,133 --> 00:15:35,634
You can't lay this on him now.

322
00:15:35,701 --> 00:15:38,137
Just wait a couple of
hours till after the contest,

323
00:15:38,203 --> 00:15:40,072
and then we'll both
talk to him, okay?

324
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:46,645
All right.

325
00:15:50,616 --> 00:15:54,086
Okay. Geoffrey Kramer starts
out with Aaron Turner's door.

326
00:15:54,153 --> 00:15:55,633
Aaron, you want to
set up the problem?

327
00:15:55,688 --> 00:15:57,256
I'd love to.

328
00:15:57,323 --> 00:16:00,359
We have, uh, 12 dead bolt locks.

329
00:16:00,426 --> 00:16:04,129
Some of the keys
you turn this way

330
00:16:04,196 --> 00:16:06,665
And it locks or unlocks.

331
00:16:06,732 --> 00:16:09,001
Some of the keys
you turn this way,

332
00:16:09,068 --> 00:16:10,536
and it locks or unlocks.

333
00:16:10,602 --> 00:16:12,705
( Students murmuring )

334
00:16:12,771 --> 00:16:13,771
All Geoffrey has to do

335
00:16:13,806 --> 00:16:16,642
is, uh, get all 12
unlocked at the same time.

336
00:16:16,709 --> 00:16:18,644
Try to be a good loser, Jeffy.

337
00:16:18,711 --> 00:16:20,045
( Laughter, applause )

338
00:16:23,716 --> 00:16:26,518
simply stated, the
barricade presents

339
00:16:26,585 --> 00:16:30,422
A possibility of 4,096
different key combinations.

340
00:16:32,257 --> 00:16:34,269
Hmm, well, at least you've
got that much figured out, Jeffy.

341
00:16:34,293 --> 00:16:37,062
Difficult, but not impossible.

342
00:16:37,129 --> 00:16:38,197
All right, next.

343
00:16:38,263 --> 00:16:41,066
David, you get Hillary's door.

344
00:16:41,133 --> 00:16:44,336
Okay. Unlike Aaron,
my barricade works

345
00:16:44,403 --> 00:16:46,538
from inside the room.

346
00:16:46,605 --> 00:16:48,607
Have a look, David.

347
00:16:48,674 --> 00:16:52,778
What David sees is a balance
scale holding two vessels.

348
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:55,581
One filled with a
fine French chablis,

349
00:16:55,647 --> 00:16:58,250
the other with
ordinary tap water.

350
00:16:58,317 --> 00:17:01,587
The object is to tip the
scale in either direction,

351
00:17:01,653 --> 00:17:04,456
completing the electrical
circuit to unlock the door.

352
00:17:04,523 --> 00:17:06,558
( All murmuring )

353
00:17:06,625 --> 00:17:09,695
Thank you.

354
00:17:09,762 --> 00:17:12,264
David, your turn.

355
00:17:12,331 --> 00:17:15,401
Well, mine is a
mechanical barricade.

356
00:17:15,467 --> 00:17:17,669
Now, empirical observation,

357
00:17:17,736 --> 00:17:19,338
an analytical mind,

358
00:17:19,405 --> 00:17:21,540
and some common
sense should get it open.

359
00:17:21,607 --> 00:17:22,708
How long it'll take?

360
00:17:22,775 --> 00:17:25,377
Well, that's another question.

361
00:17:31,216 --> 00:17:33,552
Oh, it looks like a
garage door opener.

362
00:17:33,619 --> 00:17:35,621
Interesting. I'm looking forward

363
00:17:35,687 --> 00:17:37,823
To solving this
one myself, Hillary.

364
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:40,159
But do your best anyway.

365
00:17:40,225 --> 00:17:41,160
( Students groan )

366
00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:41,827
Mr. Kramer,

367
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:42,828
Your turn.

368
00:17:42,895 --> 00:17:43,762
Mr. MacGyver,

369
00:17:43,829 --> 00:17:49,735
Professor ryman, fellow
competitors, observe.

370
00:17:49,802 --> 00:17:51,703
A time lock

371
00:17:51,770 --> 00:17:53,539
ticking down to
the grand opening

372
00:17:53,605 --> 00:17:55,707
Of this room tomorrow
morning at 9:00 A.M.

373
00:17:55,774 --> 00:17:58,544
Hey, the rules say
there's got to be a way in,

374
00:17:58,610 --> 00:18:00,345
Besides using a sledgehammer.

375
00:18:00,412 --> 00:18:01,313
Oh, there is.

376
00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:04,283
One just has to be
bright enough to find it.

377
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:05,350
( Laughter and groans )

378
00:18:05,417 --> 00:18:08,320
All right, you all
have the set-up.

379
00:18:08,387 --> 00:18:10,289
Four doors, four finalists.

380
00:18:10,355 --> 00:18:12,624
You have your assignments, so...

381
00:18:12,691 --> 00:18:15,194
So, let the games begin.

382
00:18:19,731 --> 00:18:22,167
Professor, you know

383
00:18:22,234 --> 00:18:23,514
David's been
knocking himself out

384
00:18:23,569 --> 00:18:25,838
To make his barricade
as famous as yours.

385
00:18:25,904 --> 00:18:28,707
Really? Oh, I'm
happy to hear that.

386
00:18:28,774 --> 00:18:30,809
It's put a lot of
pressure on him.

387
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,616
Pressure, MacGyver, is
what turns coal into diamonds.

388
00:18:57,269 --> 00:18:59,271
All I have to do is find
the right frequency,

389
00:18:59,338 --> 00:19:01,206
And you have yourself
a winner, MacGyver.

390
00:19:01,273 --> 00:19:03,642
Well give it a shot,
Hillary. Come on.

391
00:19:07,746 --> 00:19:09,481
Will you plug that in for me?

392
00:19:09,548 --> 00:19:10,549
Oh, sure.

393
00:19:16,421 --> 00:19:18,524
I'm afraid young Aaron
is, uh, on the wrong track.

394
00:19:18,590 --> 00:19:21,527
Well, from the looks of all the
equipment they just brought in,

395
00:19:21,593 --> 00:19:24,329
I'd say we have a
contest on our hands.

396
00:19:29,868 --> 00:19:33,705
Trying to run all 4,096
different combinations

397
00:19:33,772 --> 00:19:36,675
at an average of
ten seconds per try,

398
00:19:36,742 --> 00:19:39,711
would take me
more than 12 hours.

399
00:19:42,614 --> 00:19:45,717
So, using these iron
filings and a magnet,

400
00:19:45,784 --> 00:19:48,554
I'm going to
magnetize each lock,

401
00:19:48,620 --> 00:19:50,222
and provide a visual reference

402
00:19:50,289 --> 00:19:52,724
as to whether the
bolt is open or closed.

403
00:19:54,793 --> 00:19:55,827
Ah.

404
00:19:55,894 --> 00:19:57,829
This one's closed,
as you can see.

405
00:19:59,665 --> 00:20:01,333
Now it's open.

406
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:02,568
Very clever.

407
00:20:02,634 --> 00:20:05,270
Everything between the two
Poles of this magnet is magnetized.

408
00:20:05,337 --> 00:20:09,308
Wherever a lock bolt is
closed, the iron filings will stick.

409
00:20:09,374 --> 00:20:10,976
Two more are locked.

410
00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:11,977
Nice work.

411
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:13,312
Now they're open.

412
00:20:13,378 --> 00:20:15,681
Excellent analysis, Mr. Kramer.

413
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,217
Thank you, sir. I take
pride in my creativity.

414
00:20:19,284 --> 00:20:21,920
( Students murmuring )

415
00:20:24,690 --> 00:20:26,792
I think he's got it.
I think he's got it.

416
00:20:26,858 --> 00:20:28,327
Give me a hand over here.

417
00:20:29,661 --> 00:20:32,664
Come on, Aaron. You can do it.

418
00:20:32,731 --> 00:20:34,566
Geoffrey's moving
along pretty fast.

419
00:20:36,735 --> 00:20:37,735
( Device humming )

420
00:20:37,769 --> 00:20:38,470
Check out, David.

421
00:20:38,537 --> 00:20:42,708
( Humming gets louder )

422
00:20:42,774 --> 00:20:44,276
Whoa.

423
00:20:55,587 --> 00:20:58,590
( High-pitched tone whirring )

424
00:21:10,736 --> 00:21:13,905
Hey, I did it!

425
00:21:16,074 --> 00:21:17,676
All right.

426
00:21:17,743 --> 00:21:19,478
Kramer: As did I.

427
00:21:20,579 --> 00:21:22,447
Well.

428
00:21:25,884 --> 00:21:26,884
Hillary, looks like

429
00:21:26,918 --> 00:21:28,820
we finally have
something in common.

430
00:21:28,887 --> 00:21:29,998
MacGyver: All right, everyone,

431
00:21:30,022 --> 00:21:31,523
we have our finalists.

432
00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:33,592
And may the
better physicist win.

433
00:21:33,659 --> 00:21:35,527
And we know who
that is, don't we?

434
00:21:35,594 --> 00:21:36,695
( Students groan )

435
00:21:40,699 --> 00:21:41,933
How's Geoffrey doing?

436
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,402
Not even close.

437
00:21:43,468 --> 00:21:44,536
Oh, good.

438
00:21:46,004 --> 00:21:50,475
Hey, everyone, I built
a frequency converter!

439
00:21:58,483 --> 00:21:59,483
Oh, that's great.

440
00:21:59,518 --> 00:22:00,786
He hypes the electric frequency

441
00:22:00,852 --> 00:22:01,920
and the clock goes faster.

442
00:22:01,987 --> 00:22:03,588
I do believe he's going to win.

443
00:22:03,655 --> 00:22:04,890
Don't be so sure.

444
00:22:05,791 --> 00:22:07,959
I think I got it.

445
00:22:08,026 --> 00:22:09,795
I found the frequency.

446
00:22:29,915 --> 00:22:33,452
( Students murmuring )

447
00:22:39,524 --> 00:22:42,360
Very clever, David.

448
00:22:42,427 --> 00:22:45,030
The garage door opener has
nothing to do with it, does it?

449
00:22:47,866 --> 00:22:51,536
Boy: Come on, David.

450
00:22:51,603 --> 00:22:53,672
This is your chance.

451
00:22:53,739 --> 00:22:55,407
Okay, come on! Come on! Come on.

452
00:22:55,841 --> 00:22:57,542
All right, it's working!

453
00:22:57,609 --> 00:22:58,510
All right, David!

454
00:22:58,577 --> 00:23:00,579
I'm gonna win! I'm gonna win!

455
00:23:00,645 --> 00:23:02,948
Janet: Come on, 9:00! Come on!

456
00:23:03,014 --> 00:23:04,014
Come on, 9:00!

457
00:23:04,783 --> 00:23:06,118
David: 5:15...

458
00:23:15,827 --> 00:23:17,028
Oh, 6:00.

459
00:23:17,095 --> 00:23:17,796
Come on.

460
00:23:17,863 --> 00:23:18,663
6:15,

461
00:23:18,730 --> 00:23:20,565
6:30,

462
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,702
6:45,

463
00:23:23,769 --> 00:23:25,504
7:00!

464
00:23:26,605 --> 00:23:27,765
Look at that! It's gonna work.

465
00:23:27,806 --> 00:23:28,740
Janet: David!

466
00:23:28,807 --> 00:23:30,575
7:30.

467
00:23:30,642 --> 00:23:31,543
I got it!

468
00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:33,612
Janet: What?

469
00:23:33,678 --> 00:23:34,846
It's all an illusion.

470
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:36,815
The door isn't locked at all!

471
00:23:42,888 --> 00:23:46,491
Let's congratulate the winner.

472
00:23:46,558 --> 00:23:49,427
Very well done,
Mr. Kramer. Well done.

473
00:23:49,494 --> 00:23:50,595
( Beeps )

474
00:23:57,135 --> 00:23:58,703
Ten more seconds...

475
00:23:58,770 --> 00:24:01,573
Congratulations, Geoffrey.

476
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,809
Hey, I'm sorry.

477
00:24:06,578 --> 00:24:08,947
David, you came in second.

478
00:24:09,014 --> 00:24:10,549
You did great.

479
00:24:10,615 --> 00:24:12,050
Now, come on. Get
some perspective.

480
00:24:14,152 --> 00:24:17,088
You know, I used to
get mad at my father

481
00:24:17,155 --> 00:24:19,024
For not believing in me.

482
00:24:19,090 --> 00:24:21,760
But he's right.

483
00:24:21,827 --> 00:24:24,729
I am a loser.

484
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:28,709
Who's gonna buy
me the first drink?

485
00:24:28,733 --> 00:24:29,901
Boys: Not me! Not me!

486
00:24:29,968 --> 00:24:31,636
I will, Geoffrey. Let's go.

487
00:24:34,573 --> 00:24:36,541
Will I see you
later at the party?

488
00:24:36,608 --> 00:24:37,609
Yes.

489
00:24:39,544 --> 00:24:40,545
Girl: Come on, Hillary.

490
00:24:40,612 --> 00:24:41,713
Boy: All right, Hillary!

491
00:25:29,794 --> 00:25:31,630
( Both chuckling )

492
00:25:31,696 --> 00:25:33,531
Tony!

493
00:25:36,234 --> 00:25:37,168
Excuse me.

494
00:25:37,235 --> 00:25:40,171
Have you seen David, MacGyver?

495
00:25:40,238 --> 00:25:41,306
No sir, I haven't,

496
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:43,541
But I would like to
talk to you about him.

497
00:25:43,608 --> 00:25:45,543
I hope he's not staying
away because he lost.

498
00:25:45,610 --> 00:25:47,312
That's hardly the ryman way.

499
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:49,314
What's that, staying away...

500
00:25:49,381 --> 00:25:50,949
Or losing?

501
00:25:51,016 --> 00:25:53,018
Sir,

502
00:25:53,084 --> 00:25:55,553
Would you please join me?

503
00:25:55,620 --> 00:25:58,189
Professor, I think there's
something going on

504
00:25:58,256 --> 00:26:00,325
With David that
you are not aware of.

505
00:26:00,392 --> 00:26:01,993
Oh, what's that?

506
00:26:02,060 --> 00:26:03,628
Pressure.

507
00:26:03,695 --> 00:26:04,963
Possible burnout.

508
00:26:05,030 --> 00:26:07,565
Every student on this
campus, Mr. MacGyver,

509
00:26:07,632 --> 00:26:09,567
is pushed to his
limits, you know that.

510
00:26:09,634 --> 00:26:11,870
Maybe for David it's too much.

511
00:26:11,937 --> 00:26:14,072
Janet says he doesn't sleep.

512
00:26:14,139 --> 00:26:15,941
He overreacts to things,

513
00:26:16,007 --> 00:26:17,776
like this contest.

514
00:26:17,842 --> 00:26:19,210
And, professor,

515
00:26:19,277 --> 00:26:21,880
he's taking speed
to stay up for things.

516
00:26:21,947 --> 00:26:22,948
Speed?

517
00:26:24,716 --> 00:26:26,584
My son... drugs?

518
00:26:26,651 --> 00:26:27,953
Yes, sir.

519
00:26:28,019 --> 00:26:30,622
David needs help.

520
00:26:31,456 --> 00:26:33,959
No, I'm sorry. I'm
sorry, MacGyver.

521
00:26:34,025 --> 00:26:35,293
I don't believe that.

522
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:36,962
Not any of it.

523
00:26:37,028 --> 00:26:40,131
No, sir, you don't, do you?

524
00:26:40,198 --> 00:26:42,100
You don't see any of it.

525
00:26:43,702 --> 00:26:46,004
But there's a difference.

526
00:26:46,071 --> 00:26:48,006
Like Geoffrey here.

527
00:26:48,073 --> 00:26:51,276
He handles pressure
in a totally different way.

528
00:26:51,343 --> 00:26:53,912
I heard my name mentioned.

529
00:26:53,979 --> 00:26:55,313
Of course. It's my party.

530
00:26:55,380 --> 00:26:56,982
No, actually, Geoffrey,

531
00:26:57,048 --> 00:27:00,819
I was just starting to talk
about how you won the contest.

532
00:27:00,885 --> 00:27:05,991
Right. Well, like I told you,
the door was never locked.

533
00:27:06,057 --> 00:27:07,759
Do you want to
tell the professor

534
00:27:07,826 --> 00:27:08,593
how you knew that?

535
00:27:08,660 --> 00:27:13,932
A little luck, a
little ingenuity.

536
00:27:13,999 --> 00:27:15,667
Uh...

537
00:27:15,734 --> 00:27:17,168
I don't think so.

538
00:27:19,404 --> 00:27:21,873
I don't have to
tell you anything.

539
00:27:21,940 --> 00:27:24,042
I think you do.

540
00:27:24,109 --> 00:27:25,310
Mr. Kramer...

541
00:27:25,377 --> 00:27:26,678
We're talking about

542
00:27:26,745 --> 00:27:28,947
physics here, not a game show.

543
00:27:29,014 --> 00:27:31,282
Now I think you will tell me,

544
00:27:31,349 --> 00:27:34,319
specifically, what
line of scientific inquiry

545
00:27:34,386 --> 00:27:36,287
Led you to your results?

546
00:27:37,722 --> 00:27:39,124
Hey, you all saw it.

547
00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:42,427
The door was open, it
was an optical illusion.

548
00:27:42,494 --> 00:27:44,129
He used that periscope.

549
00:27:44,195 --> 00:27:46,364
MacGyver: That's right, he did.

550
00:27:46,431 --> 00:27:48,066
That's exactly what he did.

551
00:27:48,133 --> 00:27:50,268
But you had no
way of knowing that.

552
00:27:50,335 --> 00:27:52,337
Geoffrey,

553
00:27:52,404 --> 00:27:55,707
You opened the door, but
you never looked inside.

554
00:27:55,774 --> 00:27:58,176
You never saw a periscope.

555
00:27:58,243 --> 00:28:00,678
At least not this afternoon.

556
00:28:03,782 --> 00:28:06,818
David won the barricade
contest, didn't he?

557
00:28:06,885 --> 00:28:08,953
Ryman: Mr. Kramer?

558
00:28:25,303 --> 00:28:27,439
We'll go and find my son.

559
00:29:11,116 --> 00:29:13,084
Yeah.

560
00:29:17,856 --> 00:29:20,125
I told you all that hard
work was going to pay off.

561
00:29:20,191 --> 00:29:20,992
He won.

562
00:29:21,059 --> 00:29:22,894
He certainly couldn't
do that on drugs.

563
00:29:22,961 --> 00:29:25,396
Professor, you're
not hearing me.

564
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,065
David needs help.

565
00:29:27,132 --> 00:29:29,334
He is a kid who's
begging you to listen.

566
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,369
Nonsense, MacGyver.

567
00:29:31,436 --> 00:29:33,471
Pressure turns coal
into diamonds, is that it?

568
00:29:33,538 --> 00:29:35,273
Well, that's a physical
fact, MacGyver.

569
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:36,484
It can also crush it to dust.

570
00:29:36,508 --> 00:29:37,442
In this part...

571
00:29:37,509 --> 00:29:38,910
Oh, thank god!

572
00:29:38,977 --> 00:29:40,137
I was just coming to get you.

573
00:29:40,178 --> 00:29:42,881
Hurry.

574
00:29:44,115 --> 00:29:45,350
David's on the phone.

575
00:29:45,416 --> 00:29:47,986
He's barricaded himself
in the physics lab.

576
00:29:48,052 --> 00:29:50,155
David, your father

577
00:29:50,221 --> 00:29:52,056
and MacGyver are here.

578
00:29:52,123 --> 00:29:54,225
They want to talk to you.

579
00:29:54,292 --> 00:29:55,527
Oh, no, no, no...

580
00:29:55,593 --> 00:29:57,996
What's happening, David?

581
00:29:59,130 --> 00:30:00,398
David.

582
00:30:00,465 --> 00:30:01,366
Hey, dad.

583
00:30:01,432 --> 00:30:05,537
We're going to make
history over this one.

584
00:30:05,603 --> 00:30:09,307
♪ Ryman and son ♪

585
00:30:09,374 --> 00:30:11,476
♪ ryman and son, yeah! ♪

586
00:30:11,543 --> 00:30:12,343
Ryman: David...

587
00:30:12,410 --> 00:30:15,947
David, you won the
barricade contest.

588
00:30:16,014 --> 00:30:18,349
Oh, barricade contest, hell!

589
00:30:18,416 --> 00:30:22,987
I built the barricade
to end all barricades.

590
00:30:23,054 --> 00:30:24,989
David...

591
00:30:25,056 --> 00:30:26,457
The whole physics lab...

592
00:30:28,126 --> 00:30:29,894
I've got it wired.

593
00:30:31,563 --> 00:30:34,199
I even outdid you, dad.

594
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:38,836
I built a bomb.

595
00:30:41,573 --> 00:30:45,343
So how about it,
professor ryman?

596
00:30:45,410 --> 00:30:47,345
Think we'll get
famous over this?

597
00:30:47,412 --> 00:30:49,147
Oh, it's the ultimate, huh?

598
00:30:49,214 --> 00:30:52,183
David, what do you say
you lighten up a little bit?

599
00:30:52,250 --> 00:30:55,286
How about if I come over
there and we talk about it?

600
00:30:55,353 --> 00:30:57,455
Oh, will you bring a six-pack?

601
00:30:59,524 --> 00:31:00,391
Oh, you know me.

602
00:31:00,458 --> 00:31:02,994
Carrot juice is about
as heavy as I get.

603
00:31:03,061 --> 00:31:04,996
What do you say?

604
00:31:05,063 --> 00:31:07,031
No go, MacGyver.

605
00:31:07,098 --> 00:31:10,401
This lab is for rymans only.

606
00:31:10,468 --> 00:31:13,104
Rymans only.

607
00:31:13,171 --> 00:31:14,439
I'll be there in five minutes.

608
00:31:14,505 --> 00:31:16,441
David, please stop
the foolishness...

609
00:31:16,507 --> 00:31:18,543
What does he mean,
he's wired the physics lab?

610
00:31:18,610 --> 00:31:21,012
It's that whole thing
with his father, you know.

611
00:31:21,079 --> 00:31:22,413
The great original barricade.

612
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,349
It won't be easy
to get in there.

613
00:31:24,415 --> 00:31:27,285
Do you think this
bomb thing is for real?

614
00:31:27,352 --> 00:31:28,653
There's only one
way to find out.

615
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,321
Listen, I'm finally
going to make

616
00:31:30,388 --> 00:31:31,889
a big Mark on this campus,

617
00:31:31,956 --> 00:31:33,391
professor ryman.

618
00:31:33,458 --> 00:31:35,526
All over the campus.

619
00:31:35,593 --> 00:31:38,896
David... David, not professor.

620
00:31:38,963 --> 00:31:42,200
Please, David, I'm your father.

621
00:31:42,267 --> 00:31:44,402
Since when?

622
00:31:44,469 --> 00:31:46,437
MacGyver: Listen,
I'm going over there.

623
00:31:46,504 --> 00:31:47,939
I want you two to
keep him talking.

624
00:31:48,006 --> 00:31:49,350
- You're not my father.
- Keep him busy.

625
00:31:49,374 --> 00:31:50,475
I'm going with you.

626
00:31:50,541 --> 00:31:52,310
So, now he's got your attention?

627
00:31:52,377 --> 00:31:53,578
Ryman: What?

628
00:31:53,645 --> 00:31:56,114
Are you saying this is my fault?

629
00:31:56,180 --> 00:31:58,182
You're the one that
has the nobel prize.

630
00:31:58,249 --> 00:31:59,249
You figure it out.

631
00:31:59,284 --> 00:32:00,551
Yeah, you tell 'em, Janet!

632
00:32:00,618 --> 00:32:02,120
All right, that's enough.

633
00:32:02,186 --> 00:32:03,488
We've got to calm him down.

634
00:32:03,554 --> 00:32:06,190
I want you to keep him talking.

635
00:32:06,257 --> 00:32:08,393
Well, it's time for the
lesser of the ryman clan

636
00:32:08,459 --> 00:32:09,627
to sign off.

637
00:32:09,694 --> 00:32:12,997
Or should I say, sign out?

638
00:32:13,064 --> 00:32:15,967
David, can we talk about this?

639
00:32:16,034 --> 00:32:19,370
Oh, talk, talk, talk.

640
00:32:19,437 --> 00:32:22,106
How come all of a sudden
everyone wants to talk?

641
00:32:30,281 --> 00:32:31,516
You know,

642
00:32:31,582 --> 00:32:33,451
if he really has built a bomb,

643
00:32:33,518 --> 00:32:35,486
this whole campus is in danger.

644
00:32:35,553 --> 00:32:37,188
Why? What do you mean?

645
00:32:37,255 --> 00:32:40,725
Plutonium. Nuclear physics
is in the lab above mine.

646
00:32:43,261 --> 00:32:45,496
David, it doesn't
have to be like this.

647
00:32:45,563 --> 00:32:48,733
It's too late.

648
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,102
No time.

649
00:32:57,375 --> 00:32:59,010
What's he done?

650
00:32:59,077 --> 00:33:00,111
David?

651
00:33:00,178 --> 00:33:03,147
David!

652
00:33:03,214 --> 00:33:06,317
Good evening, professor ryman.

653
00:33:07,819 --> 00:33:10,088
( Yells )

654
00:33:12,690 --> 00:33:14,058
Are you all right?

655
00:33:14,125 --> 00:33:15,293
Oh, yes, I think so.

656
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:16,427
See what happens

657
00:33:16,494 --> 00:33:18,329
When you try and get too close?

658
00:33:18,396 --> 00:33:20,498
You get hurt.

659
00:33:30,675 --> 00:33:32,276
Janet, I got to go.

660
00:33:32,343 --> 00:33:34,345
If you hear a loud bang,

661
00:33:34,412 --> 00:33:36,547
It was just me saying good-bye.

662
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:40,251
David? David, wait.

663
00:33:40,318 --> 00:33:42,186
Talk to me!

664
00:33:42,253 --> 00:33:43,788
David, pick up the phone!

665
00:33:43,855 --> 00:33:46,023
( Clicking )

666
00:33:47,558 --> 00:33:49,327
he's wired a motion detector

667
00:33:49,394 --> 00:33:51,362
to some high
voltage power source.

668
00:33:54,832 --> 00:33:57,301
If we get too close...

669
00:34:01,139 --> 00:34:02,407
We're toast.

670
00:34:02,473 --> 00:34:05,810
Ingenious. Damn it.

671
00:34:05,877 --> 00:34:07,612
MacGyver: We're
going to have to blindside

672
00:34:07,678 --> 00:34:08,746
that detector somehow.

673
00:34:10,348 --> 00:34:11,616
Keep him busy.

674
00:34:12,650 --> 00:34:14,318
Ryman: David.

675
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:17,054
David, we have to talk.

676
00:34:17,121 --> 00:34:19,056
Oh, you want to talk?

677
00:34:19,123 --> 00:34:20,391
That's a joke.

678
00:34:20,458 --> 00:34:21,759
Talk about what?

679
00:34:21,826 --> 00:34:24,495
Anything you say.

680
00:34:27,899 --> 00:34:30,067
Okay.

681
00:34:32,870 --> 00:34:35,339
How about the swim meet
you never showed up at?

682
00:34:35,406 --> 00:34:37,208
Or what about the
Christmas presents

683
00:34:37,275 --> 00:34:39,544
mom used to buy me
and sign your name to?

684
00:34:39,610 --> 00:34:42,380
I was busy.

685
00:34:42,447 --> 00:34:44,482
Oh yeah, right, busy.

686
00:35:03,568 --> 00:35:05,369
When's my birthday?

687
00:35:05,436 --> 00:35:06,737
What do you mean?

688
00:35:06,804 --> 00:35:07,805
I mean,

689
00:35:07,872 --> 00:35:09,540
when's my birthday?

690
00:35:09,607 --> 00:35:13,344
Uh... it's in may.

691
00:35:15,446 --> 00:35:16,881
Your birthday's in may.

692
00:35:18,583 --> 00:35:20,117
When in may?

693
00:35:20,184 --> 00:35:22,286
Yours is march 11.

694
00:35:22,353 --> 00:35:24,589
When's my birthday?!

695
00:35:24,655 --> 00:35:27,725
You don't know, do you?

696
00:35:27,792 --> 00:35:30,661
Uh, the 24th of may.

697
00:35:32,463 --> 00:35:34,332
June 6.

698
00:35:36,634 --> 00:35:38,336
You lose.

699
00:35:47,778 --> 00:35:51,749
David, David, if that
bomb is detonated,

700
00:35:51,816 --> 00:35:54,852
It's going to injure uh,
more than just you and me.

701
00:35:54,919 --> 00:35:56,287
Knock, knock.

702
00:35:56,354 --> 00:35:58,456
Who's there? Ryman and son.

703
00:35:58,523 --> 00:35:59,457
Professor ryman

704
00:35:59,524 --> 00:36:00,791
And professor son.

705
00:36:00,858 --> 00:36:01,926
David!

706
00:36:01,993 --> 00:36:05,897
There is plutonium in the
lab directly above this one.

707
00:36:05,963 --> 00:36:10,601
If you have a bomb, you could
contaminate the entire cam...

708
00:36:10,668 --> 00:36:11,903
The whole area!

709
00:36:13,905 --> 00:36:16,274
Plutonium?

710
00:36:17,742 --> 00:36:19,443
You're lying.

711
00:36:19,510 --> 00:36:21,345
No, it's the truth.

712
00:36:21,412 --> 00:36:22,914
David, let us in.

713
00:36:26,284 --> 00:36:28,920
David, what about
the other people?

714
00:36:28,986 --> 00:36:30,388
What about Janet?

715
00:36:30,454 --> 00:36:32,223
Janet...

716
00:36:34,825 --> 00:36:37,194
Janet...

717
00:36:41,465 --> 00:36:43,301
Hold it, hold it!
I got a way in.

718
00:36:43,367 --> 00:36:44,602
What?

719
00:36:44,669 --> 00:36:46,404
Acetic acid and ammonia.

720
00:36:48,673 --> 00:36:49,840
Oh, very good.

721
00:36:49,907 --> 00:36:54,378
Mix the gases, make a smoke
screen and blind the detector.

722
00:37:01,352 --> 00:37:02,753
Go!

723
00:37:02,820 --> 00:37:04,989
David!

724
00:37:09,860 --> 00:37:11,329
He's still got a strong pulse.

725
00:37:11,395 --> 00:37:13,297
Well, let's get him out of here.

726
00:37:21,339 --> 00:37:23,908
Oh, wow.

727
00:37:23,975 --> 00:37:27,645
You got an "a" on
this lab project, David.

728
00:37:28,846 --> 00:37:30,314
Janet, you still there?

729
00:37:30,381 --> 00:37:31,482
MacGyver, what's happening?

730
00:37:31,549 --> 00:37:33,684
Janet, I want you
to call security.

731
00:37:33,751 --> 00:37:36,253
Have them evacuate
the entire campus.

732
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:37,588
If this thing goes,

733
00:37:37,655 --> 00:37:40,491
the nuclear physics
lab goes with it.

734
00:37:40,558 --> 00:37:42,259
Do it now, Janet.

735
00:37:42,326 --> 00:37:44,495
Oh, god.

736
00:37:44,562 --> 00:37:45,796
Ryman: MacGyver!

737
00:37:45,863 --> 00:37:47,264
He's coming around.

738
00:37:47,331 --> 00:37:48,833
Call the bomb squad.

739
00:37:48,899 --> 00:37:51,702
There's no time.

740
00:37:51,769 --> 00:37:54,005
We're the bomb squad.

741
00:38:03,948 --> 00:38:07,385
David... oh, sit up, son.

742
00:38:07,451 --> 00:38:08,953
( Groans )

743
00:38:09,020 --> 00:38:10,020
Sit up.

744
00:38:10,054 --> 00:38:11,789
Oh, god.

745
00:38:15,493 --> 00:38:17,428
I'm sorry, son.

746
00:38:17,495 --> 00:38:20,398
There's got to be a liter
of Nitroglycerin in here.

747
00:38:20,464 --> 00:38:22,633
MacGyver, just get
David out of here.

748
00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:24,068
I'll take care of the bomb.

749
00:38:24,135 --> 00:38:26,671
Trust me, professor,
there's no time.

750
00:38:26,737 --> 00:38:29,440
Besides, it's gonna
take two of us to do this.

751
00:38:29,507 --> 00:38:31,642
I'm gonna need some tools. Uh...

752
00:38:31,709 --> 00:38:34,612
Flat head screwdriver
and needle-nose pliers.

753
00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:38,616
I've got that kind of
stuff here, in my desk.

754
00:38:38,683 --> 00:38:39,617
( Crashing )

755
00:38:39,684 --> 00:38:41,385
Forgive me.

756
00:38:41,452 --> 00:38:43,320
I'm a little bit nervous.

757
00:38:43,387 --> 00:38:44,689
I'd be worried if you weren't.

758
00:38:44,755 --> 00:38:45,556
Wire cutters.

759
00:38:45,623 --> 00:38:47,525
No, no, he's built

760
00:38:47,591 --> 00:38:48,526
A collapsing circuit.

761
00:38:48,592 --> 00:38:49,927
Cut a wire and she blows.

762
00:38:49,994 --> 00:38:52,496
How has he triggered it?

763
00:38:52,563 --> 00:38:55,366
It's a Mercury switch.

764
00:38:55,433 --> 00:38:56,467
That glob of Mercury

765
00:38:56,534 --> 00:38:58,703
touches any of
the exposed wires,

766
00:38:58,769 --> 00:39:01,372
The bomb goes off.

767
00:39:01,439 --> 00:39:02,573
Ryman: Yeah, and the timer

768
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,875
is set to tilt the dish
with the Mercury.

769
00:39:04,942 --> 00:39:07,344
Four and a half minutes.

770
00:39:07,411 --> 00:39:10,881
Yeah, we've got to get
inside and stop that timer.

771
00:39:22,660 --> 00:39:24,361
Wait a minute! Stop!

772
00:39:30,201 --> 00:39:32,503
He's got the screws wired.

773
00:39:34,071 --> 00:39:36,507
( Exhales deeply )

774
00:39:40,211 --> 00:39:42,413
No way to disarm this bomb.

775
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,615
Professor, we're going to
have to contain the blast.

776
00:39:44,682 --> 00:39:47,151
That's the only way we're gonna
save the nuclear physics lab.

777
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:49,553
Contain?

778
00:39:49,620 --> 00:39:51,055
( Snaps fingers )

779
00:39:51,122 --> 00:39:51,889
The elevator.

780
00:39:51,956 --> 00:39:53,824
We can get it to
the sub-basement.

781
00:39:53,891 --> 00:39:57,094
Well how do you move
it with a Mercury switch?

782
00:39:57,161 --> 00:39:59,730
Sir, you once said, "there's
no problem without a solution."

783
00:40:03,901 --> 00:40:05,402
Liquid nitrogen.

784
00:40:05,469 --> 00:40:08,405
Freeze the Mercury.

785
00:40:08,472 --> 00:40:09,406
That's worth a try.

786
00:40:09,473 --> 00:40:12,076
I'll get the elevator.

787
00:40:31,128 --> 00:40:33,464
( Whooshing )

788
00:40:45,242 --> 00:40:48,612
No good. It won't freeze.

789
00:40:48,679 --> 00:40:50,881
That Mercury's too
far down in there.

790
00:40:50,948 --> 00:40:53,050
Well, we still got to get
this bomb to the elevator.

791
00:40:53,117 --> 00:40:56,854
MacGyver, it's over 20 yards.

792
00:40:56,921 --> 00:40:59,156
David.

793
00:40:59,223 --> 00:41:01,792
David!

794
00:41:01,859 --> 00:41:04,061
How do we disarm the bomb?

795
00:41:04,128 --> 00:41:06,597
Can't.

796
00:41:06,664 --> 00:41:09,600
Got to get out.

797
00:41:11,268 --> 00:41:14,138
Professor, we got to move it.

798
00:41:14,205 --> 00:41:15,105
How?

799
00:41:15,172 --> 00:41:16,974
Very carefully.

800
00:41:19,009 --> 00:41:20,711
Give me a hand here.

801
00:41:21,946 --> 00:41:23,881
There's got to be a better way.

802
00:41:23,948 --> 00:41:25,683
If you come up
with it, let me know.

803
00:41:27,551 --> 00:41:29,620
Ready?

804
00:41:32,890 --> 00:41:34,124
All right.

805
00:42:16,934 --> 00:42:18,569
( Clanks )

806
00:42:54,672 --> 00:42:56,974
Easy, professor.

807
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,118
A minute fifteen.

808
00:43:16,260 --> 00:43:20,064
All right, watch it here.

809
00:43:29,273 --> 00:43:30,674
No! No.

810
00:43:30,741 --> 00:43:32,176
Oh, god.

811
00:43:33,811 --> 00:43:34,878
MacGyver: 55 seconds.

812
00:43:34,945 --> 00:43:37,047
We got to defuse it.

813
00:43:37,114 --> 00:43:40,084
I can't even begin to think
under this kind of pressure.

814
00:43:40,150 --> 00:43:43,020
Pressure. That's it!

815
00:43:43,087 --> 00:43:44,888
What?

816
00:43:44,955 --> 00:43:45,990
Gas pressure.

817
00:43:46,056 --> 00:43:51,061
If I can heat that switch...
I can bust it wide open.

818
00:43:52,196 --> 00:43:53,964
I'm not sure I understand.

819
00:43:54,031 --> 00:43:55,666
( Electrical popping )

820
00:43:55,733 --> 00:43:57,901
We need to get these
wires between the panels.

821
00:43:57,968 --> 00:43:59,870
Pry open the lid.

822
00:44:09,213 --> 00:44:12,216
If I can get these
wires hot enough,

823
00:44:12,282 --> 00:44:13,650
it'll cook the Mercury.

824
00:44:13,717 --> 00:44:15,652
And heat it to a gaseous state.

825
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,155
Of course. 20 seconds.

826
00:44:19,356 --> 00:44:22,259
( Electrical buzzing )

827
00:44:26,063 --> 00:44:27,131
Come on.

828
00:44:27,197 --> 00:44:28,265
( Buzzing )

829
00:44:38,108 --> 00:44:39,109
( Electrical popping )

830
00:44:39,176 --> 00:44:40,344
( Yells )

831
00:44:52,189 --> 00:44:54,892
( Both sighing )

832
00:45:07,838 --> 00:45:09,206
You're gonna
be all right, David.

833
00:45:09,273 --> 00:45:10,174
You're gonna be fine.

834
00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:11,175
The bomb...

835
00:45:11,241 --> 00:45:12,452
The bomb squad's
taken care of it.

836
00:45:12,476 --> 00:45:14,178
Oh, dad, I'm sorry.

837
00:45:14,244 --> 00:45:15,179
David, please.

838
00:45:15,245 --> 00:45:17,014
Don't talk. Be quiet.

839
00:45:17,081 --> 00:45:18,148
Let's go.

840
00:45:27,791 --> 00:45:30,027
David!

841
00:45:30,094 --> 00:45:32,362
He's gonna be all right.

842
00:45:32,429 --> 00:45:34,731
But it's gonna take time.

843
00:45:36,333 --> 00:45:38,068
Oh, I'll make the time.

844
00:45:46,276 --> 00:45:47,276
Oh, MacGyver.

845
00:45:49,113 --> 00:45:52,149
Thank you.
