"You are Mei Jan's friend?" " MacGyver." " I'm Tan Yee." "The shipment's in the warehouse." "(SPEAKING MANDARIN) ..." "Yeah, Globe Wide, this is Lee." "Tan Yee has made contact with an American." "They're in the warehouse." "Deal with him." ""Made in Korea." Ha!" "All this came from Camp Zero." "A forced labor prison in China." "Yeah, I know." "I got a lot of friends there other students." "They're being starved and tortured so the fascis in Beijing can get rich." "Uh, Mei Jan said you smuggled out a videotape?" "I hid it over here." "It's been magnetically coded." "Can you unscramble it?" "Yeah, no problem." "What's on it?" "The truth about Camp Zero." "A girl sent there smuggled in a camera." "She got this out before the guards discovered what she was up to, and executed her." "Big trouble." "No kidding." "Wait here." "Hold it right there." "That's far enough." "We've got to get out of here." "Don't let them get the tape." "Give me the tape." "Hand it over." "Now!" "Get on!" "You might want to cover up." "That's our way out." "Uh, they won't be following." "I guess you could say I gave them a free tune-up." "Name's MacGyver." "Yeah, I'm, uh, Sam." "Hey, Sam, thanks for your help." "What were you doing back there, anyway?" "Uh, working." "I'm a stringer." " A photojournalist." " Ah." "MacGyver!" "I was so worried." "I was gonna..." "Mei Jan, a couple of guys showed up." "Tan Yee?" "He didn't make it." "I'm sorry." "Uh..." "He did give me this to give to you." "He's a friend of yours?" "He helped me out." "Uh, Sam, Mei Jan." " Hi." " Thank you, Sam." "I don't know what this is all about, but you're welcome." "Please, come inside." "We searched Tan Yee." "All we got was a phone number." "Then the American has the tape." "We must move quickly." "Put the crates back on the freighter." "Hide the body along with it." "Leave nothing." "China has 1,000 Laogai, forced labor prisons holding millions of people, most of them political." "Camp Zero's the biggest." "We heard that the students arrested in Tiananmen Square were being sent there as slave labor." "So you think the stuff in those crates was made at Camp Zero?" "Hopefully, we can prove that." "Yeah, but it's illegal to import anything made with convict labor." "I mean, how would they get it past customs?" "There's a ring of import companies." "They route the shipments through Hong Kong and Korea to confuse customs." "All right, got it." "That's Lin Yi and Su Min!" "They were in Tiananmen Squar when the soldiers attacked." "Don't the Chinese deny using student protestors as slave labor?" "Yeah." "This should shoot some hol in their story." "I must fax Beijing and let them know that we have the tape." "And also about Tan Yee." "So, photojournalist, what's the story at the warehouse?" "Well, I was following those two goons, hoping they'd lead me to a guy named Chung." "But, instead, they led me to you." "Who's Chung?" "Chung Tai Shan." "Look." "That's him there in the middle." "He owns a big Asian import company called Globe Wide." "Yeah, why are you after him?" "Well, 10 years ago, he was Colonel Chung, in the Red Chinese Army." "I want to expose him as a murderer." "Why, you got proof?" "I saw him." "I was only nine at the time, but I'll never forget that face." "Ten years is a long time, Sam." "He killed my mother." "Mom was a photojournalist." "She was working on a story about the democratic movemen in China." "We were staying in a small village near Beijing." "One night there was a meeting." "The soldiers came." "Mom made me hide." "Stop!" "You are a spy!" "Kneel!" "Down!" "Shot resisting arrest." "That's the official story." "How'd you know that?" "Um..." "Uh, I knew a woman." "She was killed in China." "What was your mom's name?" "Katherine." "She thought it sounded stuffy." "She liked to be called..." " Kate." " Yeah." "Kate Malloy." "You knew her?" "I..." "Yeah." "Yeah, we were friends." "Close friends?" "Well..." "I mean, it was a long time ago, it was 20 years." "Mom gave me this." "It's got a couple of pictures in it." "One's of her." "She said the other one's my father." "It is you, isn't it?" "You're my father." "Pete." "It's too late, MacGyver." "The warehouse is cleaned out." "Terrific." "Terrific." "But we still have the tape on Camp Zero." "Mei Jan, I'm sorry, but if we don't present solid evidence to the State Department, that the Chinese have been smuggling banned goods into the US, those trade talks are going on as scheduled." "Then Tan Yee died for nothing?" "Chung's very efficient." "Oh, uh, Sam, this is Pete Thornton." "He works for the Phoenix Foundation." " Hi." " Sam." "Are you a friend of MacGyver's?" "Uh, actually, I'm a relative." "A what?" "MacGyver?" "It's a long story, Pete." "Uh, the guys who killed your friend work for a company called Globe Wide." "The owner's name is Chung." "All right, I'll check it out right away." " MacGyver?" " Pete..." "W-Why don't we look inside?" "Come on." "This is the debris." "MacGyver, I thought your grandfather Harry was your last living relative." "Yeah, me too." "Well then, what line of the family is Sam from?" "I guess you could say he's from my side." "He's my son." "Your what?" "He's my son, Pete." "I, uh..." "I knew his mother a long time ago." "Like I said, it's a long story." "Yeah, I bet it is." "Your son?" "You're a father!" "Imagine that." "Yeah." "Yeah, imagine that." "Oh, man." "Pete, I swear to you, the crates were here." "You can still see the dust patterns they left." "Well, MacGyver, are you finding anything?" "Well, maybe, Pete." "There's a beetle here that might help us determine where the crates were from." "Yeah, how?" "A forensic entomologist." "Oh, yeah." "Well, we happen to have one of those at Phoenix." "Dr. Fleck." "Well, do you want to get him working on it?" "See if he can find out where this little guy is from?" "Sure." "Oh, and have him run a spectrograph on this." "Yeah!" "Steel smelted in China would have a high ratio of iron isotopes." "Yeah, sure." "Well, I'll let you know as soon I get something." "Well, he's a chip off the old block, isn't he?" "Yeah." "You know, Pete, I don't know if I'm ready for this." " You mean being a father?" " Yeah." "Well, as one father to another , let me tell you something." "You're never ready." "I mean, it's like life." "You take what comes and make the best of it." "And you're pretty good at that." "And after the soldiers left," "I spent the night crying my eyes out." "Next morning, I hiked to Beijing." "Wait a minute, you were nine years old and you hiked through Red China?" "Yeah." "I always could take care of myself." "Mom said it runs in the family." "Anyway, a couple of Mom's reporter friends brought me back to the States, and since Mom had no relatives left, they took care of me, until I was old enough to make it on my own." "Why didn't you try to find me?" "All I had was the picture from this locket." "And Mom died before she even told me your name." "You remember her." "Tough lady to forget." "Yeah." "This is the last time we were together." "After we graduated, uh, she went to cover a story in Brazil." "Why didn't she tell me?" "Well, Mom said you moved around a lot, helping people all over the world." "And she said that she'd introduce us when we'd both grown up." "She knew me pretty well." "Yeah." "She told me one time you were both like discoverers." "That most people could be happy living in one place all their lives, but the two of you could only be happy if you were on the road to somewhere else." "She said that runs in the family, too." "Sam..." "I know." "She loved you, too." "I transmitted your description of the American to Beijing." "They believe it was this man." " Yes, that's him." " MacGyver." "He works for the Phoenix Foundation." "Champion of so-called human rights causes." "Beijing says that he is an active sympathizer with a group of student anarchists led by this girl." "If MacGyver gave her the tape, she will use it to destroy the trade talks with the United States." "We must stop her." "How can we find her?" "This phone number you found on Tan Yee." "What's that?" "It's a fax machine." "Probably one of the student underground lines." "Should be easy to trace." "Tofu?" "Wheat germ?" "Don't you have anything that's even a little bad for you?" "Harry used to say eating healthy never hurt anybody." "Who's Harry?" "He was your great-grandfather." "Oh." "I think you would have liked him." "Here." "That's all right." "I'll have some toast." "You got any bread?" "Yeah." "Here." "So..." "Sam." "Samuel." "How'd your mom come up with that?" "Well, actually, my real name's Sean." "Sam's a nickname." "Sean A. Malloy." "S" " A" " M, Sam." "Get it?" "Yeah." "What about the "A"?" "Uh..." "That's my middle name." "Let me guess." "Angus." "Yeah." "Mom loved it." "Yeah, I know." "I'm not too crazy about it, though." "I know the feeling." " Yeah?" " MacGyver, it's Pete." "I've got some info." "Dr. Fleck identified that beetle you found." "It's called a metallic wood borer." "How do you like that?" " And it's native to only one region in south central China." " Hunan province." "Exactly." "And that is where Camp Zero is located." "Oh, and Sam was right." "The spectrograph test on that engine part you gave me detected a high ratio of iron isotopes." "That metal was definitely smelted in China." "Listen, with this and the tape," "I think we have enough to go to the State Department." "At least the Secretary's gonna have to listen." " Well, what about Chung?" " Well, I checked out his company, and, uh, it seems legit." "But there's very little personal data on Chung." "He seems to stay pretty much to himself." " I did get his address." " What is it?" "Uh, 54 Oakwood Estates." "You know, even if he is the front man for this smuggling pipeline we've got here, we don't have enough to go after him." "Yeah, I know, Pete." "How soon can we get to the State Department?" "Well, I've already made an appointment." "Listen, Mei Jan is over at the student underground office and she has the tape." "I need for you to go over there, pick her up, and bring her over here." "All right." "Will do." "What are you doing with that?" "Maybe you don't have enough to go after Chung." "But I do." "Not with that, you don't." "It's all Chung needed." "Let me understand something then." "You're actually planning to go out and take a human life?" " Well the law can't touch him." " So what?" " You're the judge, jury and executioner?" " He was." "I saw him put a gun to her head." " I want justice." " All right, hold it right there." "Murder is not justice." "The killing has got to stop with us." "We should be telling ourselves we're good enough to solve our problems without taking human life." "The killing has got to stop, Sam." "Now right now that's a choice you've got to make." "What do you know?" "My first father-son lecture." "Yeah." "How was it?" "Kind of hard to take." "But not bad." "I still can't believe you're really his son." "Yeah, I know." "Isn't it wonderful, MacGyver?" "You know, now that I think about it, there is a resemblance." "Get her feet!" "Hang on!" "Help!" "Hold on to her!" "Get the door!" "Once we're outside US water, the shipment goes overboard." "Along with our dead revolutionary." "We set sail in a half hour." "Stay here." "Guard the girl." "Yeah, thanks." "I've got it." "A computer check just turned up a freighter under contract to Chung's company." "It sails for Hong Kong from Pier 16 this afternoon." " All right." "I'll check it out." " I'm gonna go with you." "I don't think so." "There could be some trouble." "Look, we just found out you're my father, okay." "That's father, not boss." "I've been on my own a long time." "And I'm old enough to vote." "I'm old enough to fight for my country, not to mention the fact that I am a professional photojournalist and I'm looking at one hell of a story." "So back off." "I'm going with you." " Pete..." " Nope." "Sorry." "I make it a point never to get involved in family arguments." "Thanks." "Ah, what do you know?" "My first son-father lecture." "How was it?" "Kind of hard to take." "But okay." "Got any ideahow we're gonna get aboard?" "Well, I guess we ride." "What's wrong?" "I'm a little afraid of heights." "That's funny, they don't bother me." "You got that from your mother." "He's guarding something." "Wait here." " Mei Jan!" " MacGyver!" "Oh, thank God!" "Come on, we got to go." "Wait!" "The crates from the warehouse are in the hold!" "We got to get to a phone." "Sam, look out!" "Dad!" "No!" "(MEN SHOUTING MANDARIN)" "It appears we will have more burials at sea to perform." "Ow!" "Your arm's broken." "Ow!" "You scared me, man." " How long have I been out?" " Just a few minutes." "Where's Mei Jan?" "They took her up to the bridge." " Ow!" " Hold still." "Where'd you learn how to do that?" "I don't know." "Just kind of made sense." "Huh." "I should have listened to you." "Going after Chung was stupid, and..." "Hey, we all make mistakes." "Yeah, some mistake." "Look at the fix I got us into." "You've got to learn to be more optimistic." "Look at all the options." "All the doors are locked." "You can't climb." "I only see one option." "(SPEAKING IN CANTONESE)" "The captain says we're clear to cast off." "Excellent." "You see, you accomplished nothing." "When the United States renews our trade status, there will be an economic boom in China." "As for your slave labor..." "Perhaps instead of being executed for treason, you will be sent to Camp Zero along with your student friends." "They will need help keeping up with the demand." "Hey, we can tear these crates apart and use them to make a ladder." "No." "That'd take too long." "Yeah, you're right." "Wish we could just sprout wings." "Yeah." "Maybe we can." "We can?" "How?" "Water pressure?" "Yeah." "Three thousand pounds of thrust ought to do it." "Uh, there any seatbelts left in that crate?" " Yeah, lots." " Rig up a couple of harnesses for us." "Hey..." "Might need that." "Cool." "Let's hustle, huh?" " We can use these for frames for the harnesses." " Perfect." "Mom said you're pretty good at getting out of jams." "I hope she was right." "So do I." "You sure about this?" "Your great-grandfather used to say, "Only fools are sure of anything." ""A wise man keeps on guessing."" "You're right." "I would've liked him." "Hook me up!" " When the pressure redlines we hit the nozzles." " Okay!" "Oh, man!" "Now!" "What about Mei Jan?" "We've got to get her off the bridge." "Hey, wait." "How about a small mutiny?" "That's a good idea." "Cut the top off that." "Good." " You got a match?" " Yeah." "Good man." "Stop!" "Chung!" "Drop your gun!" "No." "Mei Jan, don't." "No!" "This is for Tan Yee." "Mei Jan, put the gun down." "Don't you see?" "This is all that people like him understand." "That's his way." "Not yours." "Not ours." "Don't you see?" "If you kill him, then Tan Yee's death really was for nothing." "It has to stop with us." "It has to." "Hey." "Your mom would be proud." " Hi, Mr. Thornton." " Sam." " Well, are you guys all packed for your trip?" " Just finished." "Oh, uh, MacGyver, the Phoenix board asked me to give you this." "Pete." "It's an offer of a new contract, and it's very generous." " I think you ought to look at it." " We've been through this before, Pete." "Sam and I have got a little catching up to do." "Well I..." "I told them I didn't think you'd go for it." "You know, I can't even imagine what it's gonna be like without you around here." "Well, it was bound to happen." "Things change." "Not always." "Good things don't." "Don't you ever change, MacGyver." "Don't you either, Pete." "Well, uh, can I expect you to drop in once in a while anyway?" "Count on it, my friend." "Sam." "Take care of your old man, will you?" "You can count on it." "So, uh, where to?" "Somewhere else." "This is Richard Dean Anderson." "On behalf of all of us at MacGyver," "I'd like to thank you, our audience, for seven great seasons."
