Macgyver s05e17 Episode Script
Deep Cover
Bow plane, 12 degrees.
Response to surface|controls, good.
All right,|activate the sonar Sonar engaged.
Let's set up|for the test.
Right.
Patch in e.
r.
m.
a.
Yes, ma'am.
Right away.
We just have to make|one final adjustment.
There we are.
E.
r.
m.
a.
Standing by.
Load the operations disc.
Operations disc engaged.
Is the sonar reading? Picking up the sub|loud and clear.
I'm ready|to run the test, pete.
Where's that drug|enforcement agent|of yours? Oh, boy,|i don't know.
He was supposed|to be here|an hour ago.
Hey, pete thornton|.
Dan, how are you? I'm sorry i'm late.
|I got stuck in traffic|.
Yeah, sure you did|.
|Traffic's rough.
Come on, don't start.
Uh, gwen carpenter,|this is, uh, dan stringer, drug enforcement agency.
Pleased|to meet you, dan.
I've heard a lot|about your submarine|interdiction program.
Yeah.
Well, uh,|it was going great until the cartel came up|with their own program,|and, uh, they equipped|a fleet of drug boats|with sonar.
You know, even though|i know it's true, i can't believe|that they can afford|that kind of technology.
Nothing the cartel|does anymore|surprises me, pete.
They outgun us,|out-budget us.
They've got 10 times|the technology.
Their chump change is wort|h more than the assets|of most governments.
Well, let's hope e.
r.
m.
a.
|Can turn all that around, huh? E.
r.
m.
a.
, uh, echo|regeneration module active,|right? You got it.
Pete says|you wanted an overview|before we run the test yeah, great.
Ok.
Well, as you can see,|the model sub is equipped|with transmitters.
Now they simulate depth, water temperature,|and surrounding terrain.
The boat on the surface is equipped|with a miniature sonar unit.
E.
r.
m.
a.
's sensors detect that the sub|is being scanned by sonar, its processor is designed|to assimilate the signals, and send back a false imag|e that makes the sonar think that it's reading|the ocean floor.
And we're here to see|if it finally works, right and it should if the calculation|s i made last night Are in sync|with macgyver's|sensor adjustments let's give it a try, huh? Cross your fingers Ok, e.
r.
m.
a.
Activated The submarine is gone.
I think we did it.
This is fantastic!|Congratulations, all of you.
Well, thank gwen here.
|This is her baby.
This whole project|wouldn't have happened|without her.
Come on, pete,|i'm just one of the team.
Oh, no, dr.
Carpenter,|i think you're|a lot more than that.
You may have|just changed the cours|e of the war on drugs.
And this is|our remote control model.
She'll carry|up to 1,200 pounds|of cocaine, with a range|of 200 miles and at a cruising dept|h of 100 to 200 feet.
And the weight you save|by eliminating the pilot allows you to carr|y that much more cok|e on a single run.
We're hoping it'll be|our biggest seller.
Senorlandis, when the d.
e.
a.
Created|their submarine surveillance|blockade in the caribbean, we stopped them cold|with sonar.
They can still do|the same with us.
This business proposition|of yours does not deal|with reality.
Mr.
Sanchez, we've known|each other for 5 years now you know i study|the marketplace.
I'll tell you|about the marketplace.
We've lost 6 loads off the florida coast|in the last month.
Awacs surveillance flights, and half the navy fleets|are crawling all over us.
I know.
I know and they've seized|at least 20% of your product at a revenue loss|of $100 million.
$120 million, senor.
With our subs,|you can cut that loss|to less than 5%.
Impossible.
|No, sir, it's not.
The d.
e.
a.
Tried to use|submarines against you,|you responded with sonar.
Well, now it's time|for you to use submarines.
Mine.
|And we can equip|every one of them so they are completely|undetectable to sonar.
Would you have this kind|of stealth technology? I wouldn't waste your time|if i didn't, mr.
Sanchez.
As soon as i start delivering|these submarines,|you start winning the war.
Well, this is all|very impressive.
But, uh, i won't believe i|t until i see it work.
I think that|can be arranged.
How about|tomorrow afternoon? All right, dan.
|0700 hours.
Got it.
See you then.
Ok, dr.
Carpenter,|just sign here And we'll get e.
r.
m.
a.
|Packaged for transport Good.
Ok, take it away stringer has the navy set|for the full open water test first thing|tomorrow morning.
Why don't we meet here,|about, uh, 6:30 a.
m.
And i'll arrange transport|to take us over to the base.
Great.
Let's call it|a day, then.
I have a major,|somewhat intimate|gourmet dinner to prepare.
Oh? Uh, actually, gwen,|i was hoping that you woul|d be able to stay and finish up|the final project report.
You know, so we'd have|everything nice and tidy for the d.
e.
a.
Brass|in the morning.
Get someone else, pete|.
this lady's busy.
Good night, macgyver.
Good night, gwen.
Do you believe that? Yeah, well, 6 months ago she wasn't fixing|"major, somewhat intimate,|gourmet dinners" either.
I think|the lady's in love.
It's kind of nice,|isn't it? Love.
Sure does|affect productivity.
Macgyver, about that report,|you know, i think|no.
But listen|no.
Good night macgyver! I really shouldn't,|nick.
Come on.
I have a big day|with the test tomorrow i thought|you said the project|was a complete success.
Well, yeah, it was but, uh, the d.
e.
a.
Wants|to check it|in open water.
after this is over i'll have a lot more|free time on my hands.
For us then let's celebrate|something more important|than your precious e.
r.
m.
a.
Happy 6-month|anniversary, honey.
Bubbles tickle my nose This has been|the most incredible|6 months of my life.
I remember the first day|that we met on the beach.
I always knew a morning jog|was supposed to be|good for me, but, uh i never dreamed|it would change|my entire life.
When larry died, it was like|i died with him.
I never thought|i'd ever be able|to love someone again.
Good mornin', mr.
Thornton.
Chuck, are you a part|of the e.
r.
m.
a.
|Transport unit? Yes, sir.
|Got her in the back.
Good.
Go ahead|and load e.
r.
m.
a.
|On the sub.
I'll be there|with the technical tea|m in half an hour.
Yes, sir.
Heads up, donnelly.
|The phoenix van just passe|d my location.
They should be|in the strike zone|in approximately 8 minutes i'm ready|to rock 'n roll.
No way they're gonna|get past me.
Good morning, macgyver.
Hi, gwen.
|How was dinner|last night? Oh, dinner was ok.
But the evening|was perfect.
Really perfect.
Yeah,|i'm looking forward|to meeting this guy.
Oh, you'll like him.
|He's something special.
Hey, macgyver.
On time!|This is a big day|for you.
Well, if e.
r.
m.
a.
's|field test goes the wa|y we think it will, this dope cop|is on his way|back to sea.
Macgyver! I just spoke|with security.
The transport team|never made it|to the naval base.
What happened?|They were hijacked.
The e.
r.
m.
a.
Unit|has been stolen.
Oh, my god! Here it is.
The e.
r.
m.
a.
Unit.
Way to go!|We're in business.
Not exactly.
What? Where's banniker? Everything went|just like we planned.
We took out the van,|we loaded up|without a hitch what happened to banniker? Highway patrol car spotted us.
He led 'em off|down a side road|so i could get away.
They shot the bike out|from under him.
He's dead?|Worse.
He's in jail.
Hi, this is nick landis.
I'm out.
Leave a message.
|I'll get back to you|as soon as i can.
Nick, where are you? Please.
I've called everywhere|.
i must talk to you.
|I'm at the phoenix lab dug up some|interesting background on that, uh,|motorcycle bandit|they captured.
Name's joe banniker.
He's a white-collar|computer hacker.
One of the best.
Made a killing|a few years back intercepting|modem transactions headed for|the consolidated bank|of zurich.
Yeah, and then he used|the money to make|a big drug buy in miami.
The guy should have quit|while he was ahead.
Yeah.
Well,|that's where our guys|nailed him.
He did 3 years|in the federal pen|in tallahassee.
You question him yet? No, we never got|the chance.
His lawyers beat us|to the police station.
Boy, this group|is wired into everything.
Well, at least|they didn't get their hand|s on the operations disc.
What are you talking about? Oh, it's a routine|security precaution.
E.
r.
m.
a.
Is useless|without it.
And even|if they did have it, they would still need|a password to get|into the system.
Well, with banniker's|computer background, he could very well be|the guy they were counting on|to crack it for 'em.
Is there a chance of banniker not making bai|l for a while? With his priors? Yeah.
I could get the d.
a.
|To give him some grief.
Why? Well, with their hacke|r in jail, they might be lookin'|for a replacement.
Do you have somebody|in mind? Remember dexter? Hey, i'm claustrophobic.
I don't want to be|in here too long.
It's creepy in here.
And where are|my shoelaces? Hey.
You dexter filmore,|the guy in the paper here? Mmm.
To think yesterday|i was a nobody.
Hey, you pull|a job like this, and people|are gonna notice.
Uh, joe banniker's|the name.
Banniker? Joe banniker? I've heard|that name before.
I have been recognized|for my talents as well yeah! Sure! You're the guy|that gave that swiss bank|the fiduciary flu a few years back, huh? Same one.
Wow! Yeah.
Th-that's great! You know, you're my well, uh, you know|what i mean.
I mean i got a lot of inspiration|from those stories about you.
Well, so it seems.
Yeah, well wow! Joe banniker.
Who'd have thought? Hey, you guys,|joe banniker! There it is.
|It's our ticket|to millions.
Might as well be a toaster|without that operations disc.
So what's the problem|with our lawyer|getting banniker bail? D.
a.
's kicking up|a major storm|about his previous record.
So do we tell sanchez|the deal is off? No! Nothing is off, not yet.
What about the woman|you conned down at phoenix it's just a matter of time|till she puts|2 and 2 together.
Gwen's been leaving me|messages all day.
My guess is|she has already|put it together.
She just can't|bring herself to believe it.
Now, that might|not last too long.
What are you gonna do? I'm gonna get us|our operations disc.
Research, dr.
Carpenter.
Gwen, it's nick.
Nick! I've been trying|to reach you all day.
Look, i'm in trouble,|honey.
Big trouble.
i can't talk|on the phone right now you got to come down|to the factory right away.
What's wrong? I'll explain everythin|g when you get down here|.
please, gwen.
It's a matter|of life and death.
Of course|the real challenge was getting by|their multl-layer|security program.
It's one of the best|i ever cracked.
Says in here|it was foolproof.
Yeah.
Well,|i'm nobody's fool.
Yeah, when i took out|that bank in zurich, i hacked the callback system,|slipped in a trojan horse.
Gave me the bypass number|and all the passwords.
No wonder you got|past it so easy.
Is it close in here,|or is it just me? Hey! You know,|it took me 7 month|s to crack that code well, better luck|next time, huh? Where is that guy? Who? The public defender.
I got to get|out of here|before i freak.
You waiting for him, too?|Are you kidding? My lawyer would have|had me out of here|hours ago if the d.
a.
Hadn't mad|e such a federal case|out of my record.
How come you're stuck|with a p.
D? I hadn't planned|on getting caught.
|Hmm.
That, and i'm broke.
Flat broke.
I'm never gonna|make bail.
I'm never gonna|get out of here! Cool it, cool it.
Sit down,|sit down.
Listen.
I've got an idea, um, why don't you let me|give my lawyer a call? I mean, you got no priors,|and he could pop you|out of here like that.
You'd do that for me? Think of it as a trade-off what kind of trade-off? Well, i have|some associates|on the outside who could use|your expertise in, uh, cracking security codes.
Anything! Call your lawyer,|tell him i'm available.
Just get me out of here.
Nick? Over here, gwen.
Don't come any closer.
Nick? Gwen, we gotta talk.
I need your help.
The e.
r.
m.
a.
Unit.
|You did take it! I need a minute|alone with her.
Please.
Try anything,|and you're both dead.
What is going on? Sweetheart, please,|just let me try to explain.
How could you? When pete told me|it was an inside job, i tried to tell myself|it wasn't you.
You used me! At first, yes.
But the more time|i spent with you,|the more i fell in love.
Gwen! Gwen, i tried|to back out of this, but i was in too deep.
|They threatened to kill me.
They? Who are they? The cartel.
The drug cartel? Yes.
It was no no accident|that we met that day|on the beach.
I knew all about|the e.
r.
m.
a.
Project.
I knew|about your part in it.
I owed them|a lot of money.
I couldn't pay them back.
They told me if l if i got|the e.
r.
m.
a.
Technology|for them, then they'd let me live.
I didn't count|on falling in love|with you.
Every night i prayed|that some day|i could ask you to marry me.
Oh.
|Now now, i have to beg you|to save my life.
Save your life? How? Let's cut through it, huh? Now, my people need|the operations disc, and you're gonna|help us get it.
You got one hour.
Or lover-boy here|is gonna be floating|face down.
Gwen, listen.
|If we give them|what they want, they'll go away.
I'll make it up to you|somehow, i swear.
Please, just don't let|them kill me.
Mr.
Thornton,|call for you on line 3.
Pete thornton here.
Macgyver! Oh, yeah, we had|to stop by here to check on some d.
e.
A|.
personnel records.
So what's happening? Did banniker go for it? His lawyer|just bailed me out.
Well, did you find out|who he's working for? I'm workin' on it.
The driver's supposed|to pick me up and take me to his boss|any minute now.
No, no, no, forget it,|macgyver.
You were supposed|to pump him for information,|and that's all.
I don't want you leaving|that jail without a back-up, you understand? Uh, you bet, babycakes.
I'd like to do that, too.
Listen, i got to go.
|My ride's here.
I love you, too, creampuff.
Babycakes? Creampuff?|Macgyver! That's my steady girlfriend.
We're in love.
I'm happy for you, romeo.
Now let's go.
You got|a steady girlfriend? Pete, uh, gwen carpenter|is the leak.
How do you know that? Your security|just notified headquarters.
She used her clearance card|to enter the security locker.
She took|the operations disc.
Oh, no! Yeah.
You know|where she lives? Yeah, sure.
I'll get a warrant.
Oh.
Gwen.
Mr.
Landis, this is the guy|that banniker|called about.
This is dexter filmore I hear you're good yeah.
Yeah, poor, too.
You do the job,|i'll make it worth|your while.
Ok.
Come on.
Thanks, you guys.
Yeah, call all the airlines.
All of 'em, yeah.
Carpenter.
Dr.
Gwen carpenter.
You got it? All right,|i'll call you back i still can't believe it.
Who's this guy|? her husband? No, he died|6 years ago.
This has got to be|the new boyfriend, nick.
Yeah, well,|let's start diggin'.
Yeah.
If you cracked|the pacific east bank, this should be|a piece of cake.
Hey, that code|took 3 weeks to break,|ok? This is not a matter|of random selection.
It takes research,|patience, and time.
Well, you don't have|3 weeks, you have 2 hours.
The demonstration's at 4:0|0 this afternoon.
As i see it, fellas,|we got 2 problems here.
First, or "a," we need this key code disc.
And 2nd, or "b," i'll need to write|a program that'll select|sequential letter combinations to hit the right password.
And how long will that take? Oh, most words in the|english language don't get|much longer than 12 letters.
There are 26 letters|in the alphabet.
So that's 26|to the 12th power.
That brings us to That'll take days.
No, approximately 3 months,|2 weeks and 4 days.
If you can do it|in 2 hours, i'll pay you|$200,000.
I know shortcuts.
Now you're talking, dexter you're my man.
We're gonna have this thin|g wrapped up in no time.
I like this guy.
Just might pull|this off after all.
Nick, what are you doing? Your life is not threatened.
Why? Why? You used me! I mean, look at this.
Macgyver? Macgyver? Your friend|from the phoenix|foundation? No.
He, just looks like him.
|I think the lady|made a mistake.
I think you both|made a mistake.
A big one.
I never should|have trusted you.
You lied to me|all along.
How could you do that?|Shut up! The game is over, gwen i'm sorry, macgyver.
Banniker.
They threw a plant|in with him|and he bought it! So did you.
Leave him alone! We're not finished yet|, gwen, i still need|that password.
And you're gonna|give it to me,|right now.
I wouldn't help you|if my life depended on it.
How about his?|You care about him take him outside.
You too.
Yeah? Well,|if he does check in, call me here|right away, will you? No word|from macgyver? Nothing.
And i found this pile|of cards and letters.
|All from this nick.
The good doctor's|really stuck on this guy.
Oh, you've got|that right.
All right, i'm gonna run|his picture downtown|and see what turns up.
Do we have|a last name on him no, i don't recall it|if she ever said it.
Wait a minute, there's got|to be an envelope|around here someplace with his return address,|maybe.
Inside.
Don't even|think about it What are you going|to do to him? It's entirely|up to you, gwen.
That ought to hold him all right,|lower it! Hold it.
That old sub|leaks like a sieve if you don't tell us|how e.
r.
m.
a.
Operates, your friend drowns|.
it's that simple.
You can't do this.
Put it on the bottom.
No! That sub's gonna|fill up pretty fast, doctor.
Now, you better|make up your mind.
Quick! All right, stop it.
Hold it, crocker.
Get him out of there, nick.
Please!|I'll let him out.
After you demonstrate|e.
r.
m.
a.
To our buyers.
That's my girl put her in the car.
|I'll get e.
r.
m.
a.
Pete! I got it.
|Her address book.
Nick landis.
And look at this.
He's into submarines.
That's got to be|the connection.
Landis, landis,|nick, nick,|here we go.
He's got an apartment|on wilcox.
All right, you check out|the home address.
I'll take the business|.
|Right.
Drown him.
Meet us|down at the pier.
Oh, no Macgyver! What are you doing in there? The backstroke, pete.
Wait, here's something.
"Pier 9.
" A boat called|windward isle.
4:00.
Suppose that could be|where they went? We don't have time|for it not to be.
There's at least|4 of them.
Yeah, it looks like|they're getting ready|to pull out.
Why don't you call|for some backup? I'll see if i can|slow 'em down.
How? Never mind.
I know you'll think|of something.
We should be in position|for the demonstration|in about an hour.
Dr.
Carpenter will answer|any questions you have|about the e.
r.
m.
a.
Unit.
So, dr.
Carpenter Is this machine as amazing|as landis tells us? Dr.
Carpenter? Yes.
Yes, it is.
Uh, it hasn't been|tested in open water yet.
But landis told me|it was ready.
Well, it's ready,|more or less.
There are just|plenty of bugs|to be worked out.
When this is over,|what do you plan|to do to her? Let's put it this way.
Gwen doesn't have|a round-trip ticket.
How soon|can we cast off? Won't be long.
But it looks like we've go|t some heavy weather|coming down on us.
Oh, great.
All right,|let's get it in gear.
I wanna get out there|and back before dark.
And you should have|seen e.
r.
m.
a.
|When we first tested it.
It actually made it easier|for sonar to find the target.
But that has been|fixed, right? Well, sort of.
It hasn't been tested|below 100 feet yet.
But landis never|told us this.
He probably didn't want|to worry you.
We'll let the engines|warm up a bit.
Then we'll cast off.
Yeah.
Coming from colombia, i guess you fellas|really know|a good cup of coffee.
This isn't very good, is it? Cream and sugar? Mr.
Landis|would like to see you.
He wants you boys|to have a look at this.
Thank god|you're all right! Ok, she's cast off.
So let's shove off soon as|this traffic clears.
All clear.
We should be|at the test site by 5:00.
Back in by 6:30,|at the latest.
Something's hangin' us up.
Probably missed|one of the lines.
I'll get it.
Crocker! Crocker! Crocker.
Hey! Hey, what are you doing? Hey! Whoa! Whoa! Landis! Landis! Get me|down from here! Landis, where are you? Get out here!|Get me down from here! Let me down! Hey! Well, that ought to do it.
Ernie, do me a favor|and check for me, will you? Yeah, i'll hold on sorry to hang you guys up.
|I got stuck in traffic.
What? Oh, all right, great.
Good.
Thanks a lot, ernie.
Well, that was|the d.
a.
's office.
In the interests of justice, the judge has dropped|all charges against gwen.
And what about her job well that's another story.
The board has voted no.
And i have to agree|with them.
But her only real crime|was in being too trusting.
Oh, she'll be fine.
She's a fighter.
Well, i'm gonna see to it|she gets full credit|for e.
r.
m.
a.
's first bust.
Good.
You mean,|e.
r.
m.
a.
Has|paid off already? You bet.
Our first navy sub patrol|in the caribbean detected that they were|being scanned by sonar.
So they flipped|on e.
r.
m.
a.
She worked like a charm.
And we nailed 'em.
Right here.
How big was the load? street value over $42 million.
Well, it looks like|we won the first battle.
Yeah.
Now if we could|just win the war.
Yeah.
Response to surface|controls, good.
All right,|activate the sonar Sonar engaged.
Let's set up|for the test.
Right.
Patch in e.
r.
m.
a.
Yes, ma'am.
Right away.
We just have to make|one final adjustment.
There we are.
E.
r.
m.
a.
Standing by.
Load the operations disc.
Operations disc engaged.
Is the sonar reading? Picking up the sub|loud and clear.
I'm ready|to run the test, pete.
Where's that drug|enforcement agent|of yours? Oh, boy,|i don't know.
He was supposed|to be here|an hour ago.
Hey, pete thornton|.
Dan, how are you? I'm sorry i'm late.
|I got stuck in traffic|.
Yeah, sure you did|.
|Traffic's rough.
Come on, don't start.
Uh, gwen carpenter,|this is, uh, dan stringer, drug enforcement agency.
Pleased|to meet you, dan.
I've heard a lot|about your submarine|interdiction program.
Yeah.
Well, uh,|it was going great until the cartel came up|with their own program,|and, uh, they equipped|a fleet of drug boats|with sonar.
You know, even though|i know it's true, i can't believe|that they can afford|that kind of technology.
Nothing the cartel|does anymore|surprises me, pete.
They outgun us,|out-budget us.
They've got 10 times|the technology.
Their chump change is wort|h more than the assets|of most governments.
Well, let's hope e.
r.
m.
a.
|Can turn all that around, huh? E.
r.
m.
a.
, uh, echo|regeneration module active,|right? You got it.
Pete says|you wanted an overview|before we run the test yeah, great.
Ok.
Well, as you can see,|the model sub is equipped|with transmitters.
Now they simulate depth, water temperature,|and surrounding terrain.
The boat on the surface is equipped|with a miniature sonar unit.
E.
r.
m.
a.
's sensors detect that the sub|is being scanned by sonar, its processor is designed|to assimilate the signals, and send back a false imag|e that makes the sonar think that it's reading|the ocean floor.
And we're here to see|if it finally works, right and it should if the calculation|s i made last night Are in sync|with macgyver's|sensor adjustments let's give it a try, huh? Cross your fingers Ok, e.
r.
m.
a.
Activated The submarine is gone.
I think we did it.
This is fantastic!|Congratulations, all of you.
Well, thank gwen here.
|This is her baby.
This whole project|wouldn't have happened|without her.
Come on, pete,|i'm just one of the team.
Oh, no, dr.
Carpenter,|i think you're|a lot more than that.
You may have|just changed the cours|e of the war on drugs.
And this is|our remote control model.
She'll carry|up to 1,200 pounds|of cocaine, with a range|of 200 miles and at a cruising dept|h of 100 to 200 feet.
And the weight you save|by eliminating the pilot allows you to carr|y that much more cok|e on a single run.
We're hoping it'll be|our biggest seller.
Senorlandis, when the d.
e.
a.
Created|their submarine surveillance|blockade in the caribbean, we stopped them cold|with sonar.
They can still do|the same with us.
This business proposition|of yours does not deal|with reality.
Mr.
Sanchez, we've known|each other for 5 years now you know i study|the marketplace.
I'll tell you|about the marketplace.
We've lost 6 loads off the florida coast|in the last month.
Awacs surveillance flights, and half the navy fleets|are crawling all over us.
I know.
I know and they've seized|at least 20% of your product at a revenue loss|of $100 million.
$120 million, senor.
With our subs,|you can cut that loss|to less than 5%.
Impossible.
|No, sir, it's not.
The d.
e.
a.
Tried to use|submarines against you,|you responded with sonar.
Well, now it's time|for you to use submarines.
Mine.
|And we can equip|every one of them so they are completely|undetectable to sonar.
Would you have this kind|of stealth technology? I wouldn't waste your time|if i didn't, mr.
Sanchez.
As soon as i start delivering|these submarines,|you start winning the war.
Well, this is all|very impressive.
But, uh, i won't believe i|t until i see it work.
I think that|can be arranged.
How about|tomorrow afternoon? All right, dan.
|0700 hours.
Got it.
See you then.
Ok, dr.
Carpenter,|just sign here And we'll get e.
r.
m.
a.
|Packaged for transport Good.
Ok, take it away stringer has the navy set|for the full open water test first thing|tomorrow morning.
Why don't we meet here,|about, uh, 6:30 a.
m.
And i'll arrange transport|to take us over to the base.
Great.
Let's call it|a day, then.
I have a major,|somewhat intimate|gourmet dinner to prepare.
Oh? Uh, actually, gwen,|i was hoping that you woul|d be able to stay and finish up|the final project report.
You know, so we'd have|everything nice and tidy for the d.
e.
a.
Brass|in the morning.
Get someone else, pete|.
this lady's busy.
Good night, macgyver.
Good night, gwen.
Do you believe that? Yeah, well, 6 months ago she wasn't fixing|"major, somewhat intimate,|gourmet dinners" either.
I think|the lady's in love.
It's kind of nice,|isn't it? Love.
Sure does|affect productivity.
Macgyver, about that report,|you know, i think|no.
But listen|no.
Good night macgyver! I really shouldn't,|nick.
Come on.
I have a big day|with the test tomorrow i thought|you said the project|was a complete success.
Well, yeah, it was but, uh, the d.
e.
a.
Wants|to check it|in open water.
after this is over i'll have a lot more|free time on my hands.
For us then let's celebrate|something more important|than your precious e.
r.
m.
a.
Happy 6-month|anniversary, honey.
Bubbles tickle my nose This has been|the most incredible|6 months of my life.
I remember the first day|that we met on the beach.
I always knew a morning jog|was supposed to be|good for me, but, uh i never dreamed|it would change|my entire life.
When larry died, it was like|i died with him.
I never thought|i'd ever be able|to love someone again.
Good mornin', mr.
Thornton.
Chuck, are you a part|of the e.
r.
m.
a.
|Transport unit? Yes, sir.
|Got her in the back.
Good.
Go ahead|and load e.
r.
m.
a.
|On the sub.
I'll be there|with the technical tea|m in half an hour.
Yes, sir.
Heads up, donnelly.
|The phoenix van just passe|d my location.
They should be|in the strike zone|in approximately 8 minutes i'm ready|to rock 'n roll.
No way they're gonna|get past me.
Good morning, macgyver.
Hi, gwen.
|How was dinner|last night? Oh, dinner was ok.
But the evening|was perfect.
Really perfect.
Yeah,|i'm looking forward|to meeting this guy.
Oh, you'll like him.
|He's something special.
Hey, macgyver.
On time!|This is a big day|for you.
Well, if e.
r.
m.
a.
's|field test goes the wa|y we think it will, this dope cop|is on his way|back to sea.
Macgyver! I just spoke|with security.
The transport team|never made it|to the naval base.
What happened?|They were hijacked.
The e.
r.
m.
a.
Unit|has been stolen.
Oh, my god! Here it is.
The e.
r.
m.
a.
Unit.
Way to go!|We're in business.
Not exactly.
What? Where's banniker? Everything went|just like we planned.
We took out the van,|we loaded up|without a hitch what happened to banniker? Highway patrol car spotted us.
He led 'em off|down a side road|so i could get away.
They shot the bike out|from under him.
He's dead?|Worse.
He's in jail.
Hi, this is nick landis.
I'm out.
Leave a message.
|I'll get back to you|as soon as i can.
Nick, where are you? Please.
I've called everywhere|.
i must talk to you.
|I'm at the phoenix lab dug up some|interesting background on that, uh,|motorcycle bandit|they captured.
Name's joe banniker.
He's a white-collar|computer hacker.
One of the best.
Made a killing|a few years back intercepting|modem transactions headed for|the consolidated bank|of zurich.
Yeah, and then he used|the money to make|a big drug buy in miami.
The guy should have quit|while he was ahead.
Yeah.
Well,|that's where our guys|nailed him.
He did 3 years|in the federal pen|in tallahassee.
You question him yet? No, we never got|the chance.
His lawyers beat us|to the police station.
Boy, this group|is wired into everything.
Well, at least|they didn't get their hand|s on the operations disc.
What are you talking about? Oh, it's a routine|security precaution.
E.
r.
m.
a.
Is useless|without it.
And even|if they did have it, they would still need|a password to get|into the system.
Well, with banniker's|computer background, he could very well be|the guy they were counting on|to crack it for 'em.
Is there a chance of banniker not making bai|l for a while? With his priors? Yeah.
I could get the d.
a.
|To give him some grief.
Why? Well, with their hacke|r in jail, they might be lookin'|for a replacement.
Do you have somebody|in mind? Remember dexter? Hey, i'm claustrophobic.
I don't want to be|in here too long.
It's creepy in here.
And where are|my shoelaces? Hey.
You dexter filmore,|the guy in the paper here? Mmm.
To think yesterday|i was a nobody.
Hey, you pull|a job like this, and people|are gonna notice.
Uh, joe banniker's|the name.
Banniker? Joe banniker? I've heard|that name before.
I have been recognized|for my talents as well yeah! Sure! You're the guy|that gave that swiss bank|the fiduciary flu a few years back, huh? Same one.
Wow! Yeah.
Th-that's great! You know, you're my well, uh, you know|what i mean.
I mean i got a lot of inspiration|from those stories about you.
Well, so it seems.
Yeah, well wow! Joe banniker.
Who'd have thought? Hey, you guys,|joe banniker! There it is.
|It's our ticket|to millions.
Might as well be a toaster|without that operations disc.
So what's the problem|with our lawyer|getting banniker bail? D.
a.
's kicking up|a major storm|about his previous record.
So do we tell sanchez|the deal is off? No! Nothing is off, not yet.
What about the woman|you conned down at phoenix it's just a matter of time|till she puts|2 and 2 together.
Gwen's been leaving me|messages all day.
My guess is|she has already|put it together.
She just can't|bring herself to believe it.
Now, that might|not last too long.
What are you gonna do? I'm gonna get us|our operations disc.
Research, dr.
Carpenter.
Gwen, it's nick.
Nick! I've been trying|to reach you all day.
Look, i'm in trouble,|honey.
Big trouble.
i can't talk|on the phone right now you got to come down|to the factory right away.
What's wrong? I'll explain everythin|g when you get down here|.
please, gwen.
It's a matter|of life and death.
Of course|the real challenge was getting by|their multl-layer|security program.
It's one of the best|i ever cracked.
Says in here|it was foolproof.
Yeah.
Well,|i'm nobody's fool.
Yeah, when i took out|that bank in zurich, i hacked the callback system,|slipped in a trojan horse.
Gave me the bypass number|and all the passwords.
No wonder you got|past it so easy.
Is it close in here,|or is it just me? Hey! You know,|it took me 7 month|s to crack that code well, better luck|next time, huh? Where is that guy? Who? The public defender.
I got to get|out of here|before i freak.
You waiting for him, too?|Are you kidding? My lawyer would have|had me out of here|hours ago if the d.
a.
Hadn't mad|e such a federal case|out of my record.
How come you're stuck|with a p.
D? I hadn't planned|on getting caught.
|Hmm.
That, and i'm broke.
Flat broke.
I'm never gonna|make bail.
I'm never gonna|get out of here! Cool it, cool it.
Sit down,|sit down.
Listen.
I've got an idea, um, why don't you let me|give my lawyer a call? I mean, you got no priors,|and he could pop you|out of here like that.
You'd do that for me? Think of it as a trade-off what kind of trade-off? Well, i have|some associates|on the outside who could use|your expertise in, uh, cracking security codes.
Anything! Call your lawyer,|tell him i'm available.
Just get me out of here.
Nick? Over here, gwen.
Don't come any closer.
Nick? Gwen, we gotta talk.
I need your help.
The e.
r.
m.
a.
Unit.
|You did take it! I need a minute|alone with her.
Please.
Try anything,|and you're both dead.
What is going on? Sweetheart, please,|just let me try to explain.
How could you? When pete told me|it was an inside job, i tried to tell myself|it wasn't you.
You used me! At first, yes.
But the more time|i spent with you,|the more i fell in love.
Gwen! Gwen, i tried|to back out of this, but i was in too deep.
|They threatened to kill me.
They? Who are they? The cartel.
The drug cartel? Yes.
It was no no accident|that we met that day|on the beach.
I knew all about|the e.
r.
m.
a.
Project.
I knew|about your part in it.
I owed them|a lot of money.
I couldn't pay them back.
They told me if l if i got|the e.
r.
m.
a.
Technology|for them, then they'd let me live.
I didn't count|on falling in love|with you.
Every night i prayed|that some day|i could ask you to marry me.
Oh.
|Now now, i have to beg you|to save my life.
Save your life? How? Let's cut through it, huh? Now, my people need|the operations disc, and you're gonna|help us get it.
You got one hour.
Or lover-boy here|is gonna be floating|face down.
Gwen, listen.
|If we give them|what they want, they'll go away.
I'll make it up to you|somehow, i swear.
Please, just don't let|them kill me.
Mr.
Thornton,|call for you on line 3.
Pete thornton here.
Macgyver! Oh, yeah, we had|to stop by here to check on some d.
e.
A|.
personnel records.
So what's happening? Did banniker go for it? His lawyer|just bailed me out.
Well, did you find out|who he's working for? I'm workin' on it.
The driver's supposed|to pick me up and take me to his boss|any minute now.
No, no, no, forget it,|macgyver.
You were supposed|to pump him for information,|and that's all.
I don't want you leaving|that jail without a back-up, you understand? Uh, you bet, babycakes.
I'd like to do that, too.
Listen, i got to go.
|My ride's here.
I love you, too, creampuff.
Babycakes? Creampuff?|Macgyver! That's my steady girlfriend.
We're in love.
I'm happy for you, romeo.
Now let's go.
You got|a steady girlfriend? Pete, uh, gwen carpenter|is the leak.
How do you know that? Your security|just notified headquarters.
She used her clearance card|to enter the security locker.
She took|the operations disc.
Oh, no! Yeah.
You know|where she lives? Yeah, sure.
I'll get a warrant.
Oh.
Gwen.
Mr.
Landis, this is the guy|that banniker|called about.
This is dexter filmore I hear you're good yeah.
Yeah, poor, too.
You do the job,|i'll make it worth|your while.
Ok.
Come on.
Thanks, you guys.
Yeah, call all the airlines.
All of 'em, yeah.
Carpenter.
Dr.
Gwen carpenter.
You got it? All right,|i'll call you back i still can't believe it.
Who's this guy|? her husband? No, he died|6 years ago.
This has got to be|the new boyfriend, nick.
Yeah, well,|let's start diggin'.
Yeah.
If you cracked|the pacific east bank, this should be|a piece of cake.
Hey, that code|took 3 weeks to break,|ok? This is not a matter|of random selection.
It takes research,|patience, and time.
Well, you don't have|3 weeks, you have 2 hours.
The demonstration's at 4:0|0 this afternoon.
As i see it, fellas,|we got 2 problems here.
First, or "a," we need this key code disc.
And 2nd, or "b," i'll need to write|a program that'll select|sequential letter combinations to hit the right password.
And how long will that take? Oh, most words in the|english language don't get|much longer than 12 letters.
There are 26 letters|in the alphabet.
So that's 26|to the 12th power.
That brings us to That'll take days.
No, approximately 3 months,|2 weeks and 4 days.
If you can do it|in 2 hours, i'll pay you|$200,000.
I know shortcuts.
Now you're talking, dexter you're my man.
We're gonna have this thin|g wrapped up in no time.
I like this guy.
Just might pull|this off after all.
Nick, what are you doing? Your life is not threatened.
Why? Why? You used me! I mean, look at this.
Macgyver? Macgyver? Your friend|from the phoenix|foundation? No.
He, just looks like him.
|I think the lady|made a mistake.
I think you both|made a mistake.
A big one.
I never should|have trusted you.
You lied to me|all along.
How could you do that?|Shut up! The game is over, gwen i'm sorry, macgyver.
Banniker.
They threw a plant|in with him|and he bought it! So did you.
Leave him alone! We're not finished yet|, gwen, i still need|that password.
And you're gonna|give it to me,|right now.
I wouldn't help you|if my life depended on it.
How about his?|You care about him take him outside.
You too.
Yeah? Well,|if he does check in, call me here|right away, will you? No word|from macgyver? Nothing.
And i found this pile|of cards and letters.
|All from this nick.
The good doctor's|really stuck on this guy.
Oh, you've got|that right.
All right, i'm gonna run|his picture downtown|and see what turns up.
Do we have|a last name on him no, i don't recall it|if she ever said it.
Wait a minute, there's got|to be an envelope|around here someplace with his return address,|maybe.
Inside.
Don't even|think about it What are you going|to do to him? It's entirely|up to you, gwen.
That ought to hold him all right,|lower it! Hold it.
That old sub|leaks like a sieve if you don't tell us|how e.
r.
m.
a.
Operates, your friend drowns|.
it's that simple.
You can't do this.
Put it on the bottom.
No! That sub's gonna|fill up pretty fast, doctor.
Now, you better|make up your mind.
Quick! All right, stop it.
Hold it, crocker.
Get him out of there, nick.
Please!|I'll let him out.
After you demonstrate|e.
r.
m.
a.
To our buyers.
That's my girl put her in the car.
|I'll get e.
r.
m.
a.
Pete! I got it.
|Her address book.
Nick landis.
And look at this.
He's into submarines.
That's got to be|the connection.
Landis, landis,|nick, nick,|here we go.
He's got an apartment|on wilcox.
All right, you check out|the home address.
I'll take the business|.
|Right.
Drown him.
Meet us|down at the pier.
Oh, no Macgyver! What are you doing in there? The backstroke, pete.
Wait, here's something.
"Pier 9.
" A boat called|windward isle.
4:00.
Suppose that could be|where they went? We don't have time|for it not to be.
There's at least|4 of them.
Yeah, it looks like|they're getting ready|to pull out.
Why don't you call|for some backup? I'll see if i can|slow 'em down.
How? Never mind.
I know you'll think|of something.
We should be in position|for the demonstration|in about an hour.
Dr.
Carpenter will answer|any questions you have|about the e.
r.
m.
a.
Unit.
So, dr.
Carpenter Is this machine as amazing|as landis tells us? Dr.
Carpenter? Yes.
Yes, it is.
Uh, it hasn't been|tested in open water yet.
But landis told me|it was ready.
Well, it's ready,|more or less.
There are just|plenty of bugs|to be worked out.
When this is over,|what do you plan|to do to her? Let's put it this way.
Gwen doesn't have|a round-trip ticket.
How soon|can we cast off? Won't be long.
But it looks like we've go|t some heavy weather|coming down on us.
Oh, great.
All right,|let's get it in gear.
I wanna get out there|and back before dark.
And you should have|seen e.
r.
m.
a.
|When we first tested it.
It actually made it easier|for sonar to find the target.
But that has been|fixed, right? Well, sort of.
It hasn't been tested|below 100 feet yet.
But landis never|told us this.
He probably didn't want|to worry you.
We'll let the engines|warm up a bit.
Then we'll cast off.
Yeah.
Coming from colombia, i guess you fellas|really know|a good cup of coffee.
This isn't very good, is it? Cream and sugar? Mr.
Landis|would like to see you.
He wants you boys|to have a look at this.
Thank god|you're all right! Ok, she's cast off.
So let's shove off soon as|this traffic clears.
All clear.
We should be|at the test site by 5:00.
Back in by 6:30,|at the latest.
Something's hangin' us up.
Probably missed|one of the lines.
I'll get it.
Crocker! Crocker! Crocker.
Hey! Hey, what are you doing? Hey! Whoa! Whoa! Landis! Landis! Get me|down from here! Landis, where are you? Get out here!|Get me down from here! Let me down! Hey! Well, that ought to do it.
Ernie, do me a favor|and check for me, will you? Yeah, i'll hold on sorry to hang you guys up.
|I got stuck in traffic.
What? Oh, all right, great.
Good.
Thanks a lot, ernie.
Well, that was|the d.
a.
's office.
In the interests of justice, the judge has dropped|all charges against gwen.
And what about her job well that's another story.
The board has voted no.
And i have to agree|with them.
But her only real crime|was in being too trusting.
Oh, she'll be fine.
She's a fighter.
Well, i'm gonna see to it|she gets full credit|for e.
r.
m.
a.
's first bust.
Good.
You mean,|e.
r.
m.
a.
Has|paid off already? You bet.
Our first navy sub patrol|in the caribbean detected that they were|being scanned by sonar.
So they flipped|on e.
r.
m.
a.
She worked like a charm.
And we nailed 'em.
Right here.
How big was the load? street value over $42 million.
Well, it looks like|we won the first battle.
Yeah.
Now if we could|just win the war.
Yeah.
