MacGyver (1985–1992): Season 1, Episode 22 - The Assassin - full transcript
Mac and Pete are tying to apprehend an assassin who has a penchant for killing anyone who sees him. Mac poses as a man who sells timepieces which includes timers used for explosives. When the man shows up he tries to kill Mac, after he shows him the timers. Pete saves him and they go to the assassin's hotel and the man who hired him calls with instructions on how to pick up his latest assignment. Mac goes in his place and the man tells him he has arranged for the girl he needs. It seems the assassin uses call girls to get his assignments then kills them after. What Mac doesn't know is that the girl is the sister of the one he previously killed and asked to be placed with the man her sister was with so she can kill him. And some men are following them.
Sis, it's me, Terry.
Lila?
Oh!
It's okay. Who did this, hmm?
Who did this?
I should've listened to you.
Oh, no...
He's crazy.
No, no, don't die!
Please...
Please, don't die!
I'm going to get on the horn.
Mac, come in.
I am in. Did you get
anything on that watchmaker?
He's still in custody,
and he's still not talking.
It's kind of an interesting
looking clock shop.
Sure, specializing in timing
devices for explosions.
You know, I think I'm going
to enjoy playing watchmaker.
Oh, yeah.
"Yeah" what?
Some timing devices.
That's what piedra's
coming to buy.
Nice...
In a nasty kind of way.
Well, nasty's piedra's style.
14 assassinations in
eight different countries.
Each time, a different
face, name, I.D...
Guy sounds kind of nervous.
Yeah, he sounds. I am.
Mac, we know the
man is coming to pick up
An assassin's
tool for a major hit.
Be careful.
Yes, mother.
Mr. Thornton?
Yeah?
As far as we know, piedra
doesn't have a family.
Any one I want?
Just pick.
Hi. What can I do for you?
I'd like to see some
watches, please.
You've come to the right place.
Honey, you know what
kind of escort business I run.
And do you want to
be sent out on a date?
I thought you wanted
To get your sister Lila
out of the business.
Well, maybe I've grown up.
Lila told me about the
way you run your business...
So I'm willing to pay
a little entrance fee
To meet the last gentleman
you arranged for my sister.
That's confidential.
He must have been
something special.
Yes.
So?
His name was Smith.
I never saw him.
Strictly phone contact.
C. W. Smith.
This one.
Don't bother to wrap it.
How much?
Uh, let's see.
$42.50 plus, uh...
Call it $40 even.
We're running a special.
Hey, thanks.
Nothing.
And nothing.
Here you go.
Hey, thanks a lot.
Okay, tiger.
How come the
kid left by himself?
Yeah.
Why would he do that?
You're not his father?
No.
I'm the man who's
looking for a timer.
Think I can help you.
Come on.
There's some special problems.
I was told you were coming.
And problems are my specialty.
That's funny. Mine, too.
It has to weigh less
than three ounces,
be accurate to five
hundredths of a second
and pass a metal detector.
One of
these ought to do.
This for explosives
or incendiary?
It's piedra!
Oh, it'll make no difference.
These two. I'll wait out front?
Fine. I'll just make a
little adjustment here.
I give up?
What took you so long?
Well...
I wanted to see who
was going to win.
I had him right
where I wanted him.
Yeah.
Yeah, come on.
I've never spoken
to the client himself.
Mr. Smith made the
arrangement for Lila's date.
And you're sure
it's the same Smith
that called and
asked for another girl?
Oh, I'm positive.
Call this number
at 2:00 exactly.
Mention Smith,
And the client will
take it from there.
And, Terry, I'm really pleased
you've joined our organization.
Remember, make the client happy.
Oh, don't worry, I will.
Will
you look at this stuff?
The guy's a walking armory.
Curare?
Yeah.
A curare derivative
was used last
year to assassinate
A government minister
in Central America.
Your job?
Prove it.
I intend to.
Anything? Toothpaste?
Industrial strength.
Toothpaste.
Yeah.
Anybody check his watch?
Not yet.
1:22 A.M.?
Forget to set it this morning?
Plastique.
The guy's got something
for every occasion.
That's enough to blow
his way out of a cell.
All right.
As soon as we're finished here,
I want him taken
to the safe house,
strip-searched again
and locked up,
and then I don't want anyone
Within ten feet of him.
Understood?
Yes, sir.
Nice.
Can't be traced.
State-of-the-art scrambler.
It could be
whoever's hired him.
There's one way to find out.
Uh-uh.
Yes.
Mr. Smith here.
Do you have the time?
Yes.
1:24... A.M.
Confirmed.
I'll place the payments
and directions
behind the monument
in the northwest corner
of our holy father cemetery.
Got it.
When?
3:00
This afternoon.
Agreed. It will be
there for one hour only.
Then I will reclaim it.
Don't worry, I'll be there.
The woman you requested
will call you at exactly 2:00.
Excellent.
Paymaster's setting up the drop.
I think we're on a roll.
You bet we are.
Is it true he uses call
girls to make his pickups?
Yeah, he does.
And then he kills them.
Smith says
The new girl will
give a call about 2:00.
I guess I'd better follow
through with the lady.
As piedra.
No.
I need the work.
You could also get killed.
Yeah. Got anybody else?
It's general Smith.
He seems to be carrying
the money with him.
Just do not lose him.
It's 2:00.
That's right.
And it'll be 2:00 for
the next 40 seconds.
I'm going to
arrange for a backup.
Oh, that's terrific.
I'm out there
impersonating piedra,
and you've got feds
crawling out of manholes
and dangling from trees. Thanks.
Will you just relax?
She's prompt.
Yes.
Mr. Smith told me to call.
My name's Terry.
You're to follow my
instructions precisely.
Now, listen carefully.
You Terry?
Mmm. For me?
No.
We have an appointment.
Where's the car?
Around the corner.
You'll drive.
Where to?
I'll tell you as we go.
All you have to do
is pick something up
and deliver it to me.
What if something happens
and we get separated?
Then we'll meet
at my hotel room.
Here's the key.
Terry...
Be sure you do
exactly as I tell you.
Of course; Don't you trust me?
I don't trust anybody.
Feeding time.
What a waste of the
taxpayers' money.
Move back away from the bars.
All right, here you go.
No knife and fork?
Are you kidding?
A woman?
She's the assassin?
I do not think so.
I heard he often uses
women to run errands for him.
However, she should be able
to lead us to him directly, hmm?
Come on.
We're being followed.
Who is it?
That's a good question.
What's going on?!
Take the wheel!
Come on!
Let's go!
Go!
Ah!
Wow.
Archbishop fierro.
That's it.
Yeah, this is dx-five.
Give me extension 56-20.
- Yeah?
Pete?
It's Connors.
Thornton hasn't gotten here yet.
- Yeah. I made - can I help?
The pickup, and I
have a line on the target.
I'll fill you in later.
I'm on my way in.
And check out a
plate for me, will you?
Plate number Peter Jackson
Peter five eight six.
Right.
Put the phone down.
Now.
Please put the phone down.
Now!
Uh, look, um...
Don't you think we should
talk about this for a minute?
No talk.
You killed my sister and
now I'm gonna kill you.
Your sister?
Oh, no, no, no.
I think you got it all wrong.
Uh, I'm not the
man you think I am.
Put it down!
It's just toothpaste.
Put it down.
I did not kill your sister.
I am not piedra.
The man your
sister calls Mr. Gray?
Sure, the check's in the mail.
You killed my sister,
and now you're gonna kill me.
And I don't care, Mr. Piedra
or gray or whatever...
Name's MacGyver.
I'm on a government assignment
Taking piedra's place.
He's in custody.
Terry,
Think about it for a second.
If I was piedra,
you'd be dead by
now, wouldn't you?
Piedra's in a cell.
Believe me, he's gone.
All wrapped up and
stashed away someplace.
He's history.
It's over.
I almost shot you.
When I saw Lila dying...
She's all the family I had left.
Us two.
And he killed her.
He just got rid of her
like you get rid of a
stray cat or something.
Terry, I'm sorry.
Believe me.
Come on.
I'm gonna drop this off
And then get you
into debriefing.
What?
Well, the important thing now
Is we've got a line
on piedra's next target.
It was supposed to happen
at 4:00 this afternoon
at St. Marcus convent.
We have to consider
this a major assassination.
Archbishop fierro
was going to be killed.
Now... He's not.
I know you've had a tough time,
But if you need someone
to listen, I'll listen.
I'm here.
Hey!
Hey! Somebody!
Hey, somebody!
All right, away from the door.
Now what do you want?
Out.
Thornton called.
He's on his way over.
It feels good, doesn't it?
Knowing it's over.
What scares me is
I almost killed you.
No, Terry, if you were
that kind of person,
you'd have pulled
the trigger on me.
No, you don't understand.
I wanted to hear him beg.
I wanted to watch
his face as he died.
And now I'll never
get the chance.
Come with us, please.
What do you mean come with you?
Get into the car.
All right, all right.
Wow, I'll be glad
when this thing
is over, you guys.
Yeah, that's the truth.
Just trying to
work all this out on,
uh, on paper here.
Hey, you're the guys
Who chased us
out of the cemetery.
Guess I owe you
a set of tires, huh?
Keep moving.
I must go now and
meet the archbishop.
Be careful.
Raoul, la pistola.
You know, you guys
are way off base.
I'm not piedra.
We saw your paymaster,
When he left this
blood money for you.
And we saw her get
it and give it to you.
We know you have been hired
to kill the archbishop.
Is it only you, señor,
or are there others?
What is your plan?
Who hired you?
I'm telling you, you're wrong.
I do not want to hurt you,
But I am sworn to
protect the archbishop.
Well, that's good.
That's terrific.
Because piedra, the assassin
you were waiting
for this morning,
he was caught.
He's in a cell right now.
Well, why can't
you just believe us?
In god's name, I
wish I could, señorita,
But I must know the truth,
no matter how painful the way.
The archbishop's
life is in my hands.
Pardon me.
Excuse me, the reception
for the archbishop?
On the back lawn.
Ah, thank you.
Here, let me help you.
Oh, that's very kind of you.
We should expect his grace soon?
Within the next half
hour at the latest, sir.
Oh, that's excellent.
I can't tell you how much
I'm looking forward to it.
So good to see you
again, sister Eileen.
This is a wonderful
occasion for me.
For all of us.
Everybody who
contributed to your cause
wanted to be here
today to meet you.
Yes, I want to meet
them and to thank them.
And is everything well
with you, my loyal friend?
I have my fears,
your excellency.
As always.
We have a bargain.
He keeps watch on my
life and I look after his soul.
But I feel guilty.
Pato works much harder at
his part of the arrangement.
It would make
our job a lot easier
if you would listen
to our advice,
your excellency.
Ah, but then I would
get nothing done.
This way, excellency.
Excuse me.
You know, Emilio, you
have got a head of pure rock.
Just call the number, will you?
What do you got to lose?
I see.
I call and alert who?
Your confederates?
Those who hired you?
It's hopeless. He's paranoid.
No, he's just scared.
And I don't blame him.
Put that down.
Just relax, will you?
Let Terry make the call.
I said put it down.
I warn you.
Put it down.
Don't.
Telephone...
On the table,
please?
Terry, would you
mind covering him?
Dx-five, xc four
four seven nine.
Computer female voice:
Voice pattern accepted.
Hold for connect.
Mac, is that you?
Yeah, Pete?
I'm at, uh, Saint
Marcus convent.
And I'd like you
to straighten somebody
out for me, would you?
Archbishop's fierro's
bodyguard here thinks I'm piedra.
Mac, piedra's escaped!
He killed Connors, four others.
Damn bloodbath.
What?!
Yeah, Connors.
Listen, let's talk
about the archbishop.
If he's the target, piedra
could be heading...
Here.
His excellency.
Yeah. Look, Pete, we've
got some people here, but
you better come on
over while I explain
the facts of life
to the archbishop.
Terry, fill him in.
Please hurry!
I am sorry, Mr. MacGyver,
but I must make an appearance
and thank my friends.
But, your excellency,
You will be risking your life!
That is what a life is for.
The people who are here
have contributed to our cause
generously in money
and of themselves.
But with all due respect,
Your excellency, the
people will understand.
They will understand
that I've allowed myself
be directed not by god,
but by terror.
By an assassin.
I must do the lord's will
as it is revealed to me.
I am imperfect.
He is not.
He is a great
man, but he will die.
Yeah, we're all gonna die.
The trick is not to rush it.
Emilio, con permiso...
Lopez, UN momento, UN momento...
Look, just keep your men
movin' around the grounds.
He's got to show up in
the crowd somewhere.
But, señor MacGyver,
nobody has seen piedra.
My men will not be
able to recognize him.
Well, I've seen
him, but I don't think
A description would
do much good.
He knows i'd recognize him,
so he'll be wearing some kind of
a disguise.
Look for a blind man,
somebody wearing
a uniform, a guy
in a wheelchair.
Look for the person
who'd be the least
likely assassin.
Oh, thank you, sister.
Excuse me.
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for coming.
I am sister Eileen Kennedy.
We are a service order, and in
archbishop fierro's country,
we have found a mission,
to work with the poor, the sick,
The children.
And with your help,
we have created
a small miracle.
The opportunity,
the real hope that
soon they can be free.
And we believe
with all our hearts
this can be done
without bloodshed.
Thank you.
The archbishop
himself will thank you
in a few moments.
He's, uh, conducting
a blessing service
with some of our sisters now,
so please, be patient.
Enrique, go to the
front of the house
and make sure
that nobody leaves.
Carlos, go to the
driveway in the back
And make sure that nobody
leaves the compound.
Have you checked the grounds?
To the wall, but I
think he's inside.
I mean, there are
classrooms, studies, the tower.
When does the
archbishop come out?
When he finishes the blessing
to the sisters who have
been to my country.
Where?
The chapel.
- Freeze!
Oh!
Sorry, sister, please, please.
Excellency...
Will you listen to a prayer?
Hi.
This is for Lila!
Terry, no!
Piedra!
Oh!
Oh. Oh!
You all right?
Yeah.
What happened?
The wages of sin, I think.
Yeah.
Get him out of here.
Oh, I admire
the man so much.
I want
to apologize first
For the delay.
I assure you, my
dear benefactors,
That this is a time of
great joy for all of us.
We opened the children's
hospital one week ago,
And we have always...
He does not
know how close it was.
Well, Emilio,
maybe he is in god's hands.
Gracias, señor MacGyver.
You're welcome.
And piedra's dead.
Fair enough.
Yeah, almost.
What does that mean?
Well, it's just that I'll
never know for sure.
Oh.
Know what?
Whether or not he
could have taken him.
Lila?
Oh!
It's okay. Who did this, hmm?
Who did this?
I should've listened to you.
Oh, no...
He's crazy.
No, no, don't die!
Please...
Please, don't die!
I'm going to get on the horn.
Mac, come in.
I am in. Did you get
anything on that watchmaker?
He's still in custody,
and he's still not talking.
It's kind of an interesting
looking clock shop.
Sure, specializing in timing
devices for explosions.
You know, I think I'm going
to enjoy playing watchmaker.
Oh, yeah.
"Yeah" what?
Some timing devices.
That's what piedra's
coming to buy.
Nice...
In a nasty kind of way.
Well, nasty's piedra's style.
14 assassinations in
eight different countries.
Each time, a different
face, name, I.D...
Guy sounds kind of nervous.
Yeah, he sounds. I am.
Mac, we know the
man is coming to pick up
An assassin's
tool for a major hit.
Be careful.
Yes, mother.
Mr. Thornton?
Yeah?
As far as we know, piedra
doesn't have a family.
Any one I want?
Just pick.
Hi. What can I do for you?
I'd like to see some
watches, please.
You've come to the right place.
Honey, you know what
kind of escort business I run.
And do you want to
be sent out on a date?
I thought you wanted
To get your sister Lila
out of the business.
Well, maybe I've grown up.
Lila told me about the
way you run your business...
So I'm willing to pay
a little entrance fee
To meet the last gentleman
you arranged for my sister.
That's confidential.
He must have been
something special.
Yes.
So?
His name was Smith.
I never saw him.
Strictly phone contact.
C. W. Smith.
This one.
Don't bother to wrap it.
How much?
Uh, let's see.
$42.50 plus, uh...
Call it $40 even.
We're running a special.
Hey, thanks.
Nothing.
And nothing.
Here you go.
Hey, thanks a lot.
Okay, tiger.
How come the
kid left by himself?
Yeah.
Why would he do that?
You're not his father?
No.
I'm the man who's
looking for a timer.
Think I can help you.
Come on.
There's some special problems.
I was told you were coming.
And problems are my specialty.
That's funny. Mine, too.
It has to weigh less
than three ounces,
be accurate to five
hundredths of a second
and pass a metal detector.
One of
these ought to do.
This for explosives
or incendiary?
It's piedra!
Oh, it'll make no difference.
These two. I'll wait out front?
Fine. I'll just make a
little adjustment here.
I give up?
What took you so long?
Well...
I wanted to see who
was going to win.
I had him right
where I wanted him.
Yeah.
Yeah, come on.
I've never spoken
to the client himself.
Mr. Smith made the
arrangement for Lila's date.
And you're sure
it's the same Smith
that called and
asked for another girl?
Oh, I'm positive.
Call this number
at 2:00 exactly.
Mention Smith,
And the client will
take it from there.
And, Terry, I'm really pleased
you've joined our organization.
Remember, make the client happy.
Oh, don't worry, I will.
Will
you look at this stuff?
The guy's a walking armory.
Curare?
Yeah.
A curare derivative
was used last
year to assassinate
A government minister
in Central America.
Your job?
Prove it.
I intend to.
Anything? Toothpaste?
Industrial strength.
Toothpaste.
Yeah.
Anybody check his watch?
Not yet.
1:22 A.M.?
Forget to set it this morning?
Plastique.
The guy's got something
for every occasion.
That's enough to blow
his way out of a cell.
All right.
As soon as we're finished here,
I want him taken
to the safe house,
strip-searched again
and locked up,
and then I don't want anyone
Within ten feet of him.
Understood?
Yes, sir.
Nice.
Can't be traced.
State-of-the-art scrambler.
It could be
whoever's hired him.
There's one way to find out.
Uh-uh.
Yes.
Mr. Smith here.
Do you have the time?
Yes.
1:24... A.M.
Confirmed.
I'll place the payments
and directions
behind the monument
in the northwest corner
of our holy father cemetery.
Got it.
When?
3:00
This afternoon.
Agreed. It will be
there for one hour only.
Then I will reclaim it.
Don't worry, I'll be there.
The woman you requested
will call you at exactly 2:00.
Excellent.
Paymaster's setting up the drop.
I think we're on a roll.
You bet we are.
Is it true he uses call
girls to make his pickups?
Yeah, he does.
And then he kills them.
Smith says
The new girl will
give a call about 2:00.
I guess I'd better follow
through with the lady.
As piedra.
No.
I need the work.
You could also get killed.
Yeah. Got anybody else?
It's general Smith.
He seems to be carrying
the money with him.
Just do not lose him.
It's 2:00.
That's right.
And it'll be 2:00 for
the next 40 seconds.
I'm going to
arrange for a backup.
Oh, that's terrific.
I'm out there
impersonating piedra,
and you've got feds
crawling out of manholes
and dangling from trees. Thanks.
Will you just relax?
She's prompt.
Yes.
Mr. Smith told me to call.
My name's Terry.
You're to follow my
instructions precisely.
Now, listen carefully.
You Terry?
Mmm. For me?
No.
We have an appointment.
Where's the car?
Around the corner.
You'll drive.
Where to?
I'll tell you as we go.
All you have to do
is pick something up
and deliver it to me.
What if something happens
and we get separated?
Then we'll meet
at my hotel room.
Here's the key.
Terry...
Be sure you do
exactly as I tell you.
Of course; Don't you trust me?
I don't trust anybody.
Feeding time.
What a waste of the
taxpayers' money.
Move back away from the bars.
All right, here you go.
No knife and fork?
Are you kidding?
A woman?
She's the assassin?
I do not think so.
I heard he often uses
women to run errands for him.
However, she should be able
to lead us to him directly, hmm?
Come on.
We're being followed.
Who is it?
That's a good question.
What's going on?!
Take the wheel!
Come on!
Let's go!
Go!
Ah!
Wow.
Archbishop fierro.
That's it.
Yeah, this is dx-five.
Give me extension 56-20.
- Yeah?
Pete?
It's Connors.
Thornton hasn't gotten here yet.
- Yeah. I made - can I help?
The pickup, and I
have a line on the target.
I'll fill you in later.
I'm on my way in.
And check out a
plate for me, will you?
Plate number Peter Jackson
Peter five eight six.
Right.
Put the phone down.
Now.
Please put the phone down.
Now!
Uh, look, um...
Don't you think we should
talk about this for a minute?
No talk.
You killed my sister and
now I'm gonna kill you.
Your sister?
Oh, no, no, no.
I think you got it all wrong.
Uh, I'm not the
man you think I am.
Put it down!
It's just toothpaste.
Put it down.
I did not kill your sister.
I am not piedra.
The man your
sister calls Mr. Gray?
Sure, the check's in the mail.
You killed my sister,
and now you're gonna kill me.
And I don't care, Mr. Piedra
or gray or whatever...
Name's MacGyver.
I'm on a government assignment
Taking piedra's place.
He's in custody.
Terry,
Think about it for a second.
If I was piedra,
you'd be dead by
now, wouldn't you?
Piedra's in a cell.
Believe me, he's gone.
All wrapped up and
stashed away someplace.
He's history.
It's over.
I almost shot you.
When I saw Lila dying...
She's all the family I had left.
Us two.
And he killed her.
He just got rid of her
like you get rid of a
stray cat or something.
Terry, I'm sorry.
Believe me.
Come on.
I'm gonna drop this off
And then get you
into debriefing.
What?
Well, the important thing now
Is we've got a line
on piedra's next target.
It was supposed to happen
at 4:00 this afternoon
at St. Marcus convent.
We have to consider
this a major assassination.
Archbishop fierro
was going to be killed.
Now... He's not.
I know you've had a tough time,
But if you need someone
to listen, I'll listen.
I'm here.
Hey!
Hey! Somebody!
Hey, somebody!
All right, away from the door.
Now what do you want?
Out.
Thornton called.
He's on his way over.
It feels good, doesn't it?
Knowing it's over.
What scares me is
I almost killed you.
No, Terry, if you were
that kind of person,
you'd have pulled
the trigger on me.
No, you don't understand.
I wanted to hear him beg.
I wanted to watch
his face as he died.
And now I'll never
get the chance.
Come with us, please.
What do you mean come with you?
Get into the car.
All right, all right.
Wow, I'll be glad
when this thing
is over, you guys.
Yeah, that's the truth.
Just trying to
work all this out on,
uh, on paper here.
Hey, you're the guys
Who chased us
out of the cemetery.
Guess I owe you
a set of tires, huh?
Keep moving.
I must go now and
meet the archbishop.
Be careful.
Raoul, la pistola.
You know, you guys
are way off base.
I'm not piedra.
We saw your paymaster,
When he left this
blood money for you.
And we saw her get
it and give it to you.
We know you have been hired
to kill the archbishop.
Is it only you, señor,
or are there others?
What is your plan?
Who hired you?
I'm telling you, you're wrong.
I do not want to hurt you,
But I am sworn to
protect the archbishop.
Well, that's good.
That's terrific.
Because piedra, the assassin
you were waiting
for this morning,
he was caught.
He's in a cell right now.
Well, why can't
you just believe us?
In god's name, I
wish I could, señorita,
But I must know the truth,
no matter how painful the way.
The archbishop's
life is in my hands.
Pardon me.
Excuse me, the reception
for the archbishop?
On the back lawn.
Ah, thank you.
Here, let me help you.
Oh, that's very kind of you.
We should expect his grace soon?
Within the next half
hour at the latest, sir.
Oh, that's excellent.
I can't tell you how much
I'm looking forward to it.
So good to see you
again, sister Eileen.
This is a wonderful
occasion for me.
For all of us.
Everybody who
contributed to your cause
wanted to be here
today to meet you.
Yes, I want to meet
them and to thank them.
And is everything well
with you, my loyal friend?
I have my fears,
your excellency.
As always.
We have a bargain.
He keeps watch on my
life and I look after his soul.
But I feel guilty.
Pato works much harder at
his part of the arrangement.
It would make
our job a lot easier
if you would listen
to our advice,
your excellency.
Ah, but then I would
get nothing done.
This way, excellency.
Excuse me.
You know, Emilio, you
have got a head of pure rock.
Just call the number, will you?
What do you got to lose?
I see.
I call and alert who?
Your confederates?
Those who hired you?
It's hopeless. He's paranoid.
No, he's just scared.
And I don't blame him.
Put that down.
Just relax, will you?
Let Terry make the call.
I said put it down.
I warn you.
Put it down.
Don't.
Telephone...
On the table,
please?
Terry, would you
mind covering him?
Dx-five, xc four
four seven nine.
Computer female voice:
Voice pattern accepted.
Hold for connect.
Mac, is that you?
Yeah, Pete?
I'm at, uh, Saint
Marcus convent.
And I'd like you
to straighten somebody
out for me, would you?
Archbishop's fierro's
bodyguard here thinks I'm piedra.
Mac, piedra's escaped!
He killed Connors, four others.
Damn bloodbath.
What?!
Yeah, Connors.
Listen, let's talk
about the archbishop.
If he's the target, piedra
could be heading...
Here.
His excellency.
Yeah. Look, Pete, we've
got some people here, but
you better come on
over while I explain
the facts of life
to the archbishop.
Terry, fill him in.
Please hurry!
I am sorry, Mr. MacGyver,
but I must make an appearance
and thank my friends.
But, your excellency,
You will be risking your life!
That is what a life is for.
The people who are here
have contributed to our cause
generously in money
and of themselves.
But with all due respect,
Your excellency, the
people will understand.
They will understand
that I've allowed myself
be directed not by god,
but by terror.
By an assassin.
I must do the lord's will
as it is revealed to me.
I am imperfect.
He is not.
He is a great
man, but he will die.
Yeah, we're all gonna die.
The trick is not to rush it.
Emilio, con permiso...
Lopez, UN momento, UN momento...
Look, just keep your men
movin' around the grounds.
He's got to show up in
the crowd somewhere.
But, señor MacGyver,
nobody has seen piedra.
My men will not be
able to recognize him.
Well, I've seen
him, but I don't think
A description would
do much good.
He knows i'd recognize him,
so he'll be wearing some kind of
a disguise.
Look for a blind man,
somebody wearing
a uniform, a guy
in a wheelchair.
Look for the person
who'd be the least
likely assassin.
Oh, thank you, sister.
Excuse me.
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for coming.
I am sister Eileen Kennedy.
We are a service order, and in
archbishop fierro's country,
we have found a mission,
to work with the poor, the sick,
The children.
And with your help,
we have created
a small miracle.
The opportunity,
the real hope that
soon they can be free.
And we believe
with all our hearts
this can be done
without bloodshed.
Thank you.
The archbishop
himself will thank you
in a few moments.
He's, uh, conducting
a blessing service
with some of our sisters now,
so please, be patient.
Enrique, go to the
front of the house
and make sure
that nobody leaves.
Carlos, go to the
driveway in the back
And make sure that nobody
leaves the compound.
Have you checked the grounds?
To the wall, but I
think he's inside.
I mean, there are
classrooms, studies, the tower.
When does the
archbishop come out?
When he finishes the blessing
to the sisters who have
been to my country.
Where?
The chapel.
- Freeze!
Oh!
Sorry, sister, please, please.
Excellency...
Will you listen to a prayer?
Hi.
This is for Lila!
Terry, no!
Piedra!
Oh!
Oh. Oh!
You all right?
Yeah.
What happened?
The wages of sin, I think.
Yeah.
Get him out of here.
Oh, I admire
the man so much.
I want
to apologize first
For the delay.
I assure you, my
dear benefactors,
That this is a time of
great joy for all of us.
We opened the children's
hospital one week ago,
And we have always...
He does not
know how close it was.
Well, Emilio,
maybe he is in god's hands.
Gracias, señor MacGyver.
You're welcome.
And piedra's dead.
Fair enough.
Yeah, almost.
What does that mean?
Well, it's just that I'll
never know for sure.
Oh.
Know what?
Whether or not he
could have taken him.
