( engine sputtering to a stop)
Welcome to Paradise!
( chuckles)
Relax.
Come on, Sims, relax.
Nobody saw you
get on the aircraft.
And as far as
everybody's concerned,
you're still in the States.
Hey, you're home free.
Yeah.
The police are probably
following me now.
Not here.
( laughs)
Relax. Come on, it's cool.
Right.
Let's take a look at the goods.
Ha, I've always wanted to see
what $60 million in
diamonds looked like.
SIMS: $6 million is your share.
I wouldn't cheat you, Catlin.
You're an accountant, Sims.
Figure it out.
( laughs)
MAN: I trusted Daniel Sims.
No one's blaming you, Senator.
I'm blaming me!
I was Chairman of the
Famine Aid Committee.
That $60 million was raised
on my name, my friends,
my reputation.
And it was stolen
by the man I hired.
Daniel Sims.
It's not my reputation
I care about, MacGyver.
What Catlin stole
isn't just dollars.
These people are dying today.
That money was raised
to save human lives.
When my daughter, Chris,
heard about it, she flew back
from Africa.
She's in the Virgin Islands now.
She's trying to find some
way to get to Catlin, but...
nothing's worked.
Nothing.
MacGYVER: Well,
then, I better get going.
( indistinct conversation)
MAN: Here they come. Billy?
Hi.
Your name MacGyver?
That's amazing. So is mine.
You're MacGyver?
Oh, sorry.
I guess I was expecting
another high-powered lawyer
or an ex-FBI agent
with another great
idea that doesn't work...
I-I'm sorry.
I'm a little wound up.
Chris Rhodes.
MacGYVER: Your father tells me
you've been
researching things here.
You can start by
telling me what you
know about Catlin.
He keeps what amounts to
a private army around here.
Some of them arrived with him.
He used to be a mercenary,
soldier-of-fortune.
Asia Minor, Libya.
In Angola, they call
him The Butcher.
Hey, Chris, we're
gonna get to him.
Just what exactly do
you do, MacGyver?
What else do you
know about Catlin?
He came to the Virgin Islands
about five years ago
with a gaudy reputation
and a lot of money.
( laughs)
With which he bought
this hotel and casino.
Huh... Catlin's little hideaway.
You don't like him much, do you?
You know, I was in the
Peace Corps in Africa.
I know what famine does.
( laughter)
CHRIS: There he is.
Welcome...
to my little exhibition.
That's Catlin.
MAN: Come on over, guys.
( people gasping, groaning)
( men grunting)
( audience members
gasping, fighters grunting)
WOMAN: Oh!
( grunting and
audience groaning)
( grunting)
( audience groaning)
( applause)
We got a confirmation
from Amsterdam.
They can handle the diamonds.
All of them?
$60 million to be paid
to a Swiss account.
We need flight
plans and clearances.
I want to be off this
island in 48 hours.
See to it.
He looks like a happy guy.
( soft chuckle)
Why not? We can't touch him.
Maybe we can.
What if I were to
just to go in and...
take the diamonds from Catlin?
My God, you're a thief!
CHRIS: It's impossible!
It's ridiculous!
( stammering): It's illegal.
Why?
Catlin claims he doesn't
have the diamonds.
You tell me how taking
something that doesn't exist
constitutes breaking
the law, hmm?
Because we can't just...
Well, because we-we
can't just plan a break-in,
or-or pull off some kind
of farfetched caper, or...
( laughs)
You know, you're right.
What the hell!
We'll do it!
What you mean
"we"?
You were in the Peace Corps,
not the Green Berets, remember?
Come on, what's your plan?
I have found from
past experiences
that the tighter your plan,
the more likely you are
to run into something...
unpredictable.
Okay.
How, then?
We fake it.
Oh, great.
Great!
We are in deep trouble.
Look, for starters,
we're probably talking about
200 pounds of diamonds.
Now, where's he
gonna store that?
Believe me, I know Catlin.
He wouldn't trust
his own mother.
Everything he has,
he guards.
So?
So, I researched all
the construction permits
on the casino.
He built in two
security vaults...
A big one in the casino
and another one
in his private suite.
Then that's where I'll start.
Where do we begin?
I begin by getting a look
at the inside of
that casino vault,
see if the diamonds are there.
I'll go in as a high roller.
Start shootin' and see what...
CHRIS: Catlin's casino is,
well, frankly, dishonest.
Nobody wins.
The vault in the casino has
got to be guarded and locked,
so the best way to get a look
at the inside is by invitation.
So, I'll have to make sure
I win big at the crap table.
Get them to store my
money in their vault.
How can you be
so sure you'll win?
I'll cheat.
Not bad.
You look like James Bond.
I feel like...
James Bond.
I'm in disguise.
( horn honking)
( buzz of conversation)
BOTH: Oh!
Oh, I'm so sorry!
You stupid little fool!
You spilled this drink
all over my dress!
MacGYVER: Nice lady.
WOMAN: Do you know
how much this costs?
I-I know. I'm sorry.
WOMAN: My husband
gave it to me for my birthday.
MacGYVER: Should be right
to give me a proper diversion.
WOMAN: I want to know your name.
I'd like to speak
to your supervisor.
WAITRESS: I'm so sorry.
You're absolutely right.
It was my fault. It
was very clumsy of me.
MacGYVER: When I was a
kid, the first time I went fishing,
I had to jury rig my own line.
WOMAN: This is
an absolute outrage!
MacGYVER: It worked.
Caught a fish that
turned a lot of eyes.
WOMAN: So
embarrassed in my life...
MacGYVER: This catch
should do the same thing.
WOMAN: This is
absolutely ridiculous!
I'm sorry. Please
forgive me. I'm sorry.
I'm soaking wet in the
middle of the casino.
I mean, where is the manager?
I... I want to talk
to somebody...
I want this replaced!
Oh. Oh.
Excuse me.
( crowd chatter)
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh. God! I... Oh, God! Oh!
What...
What are you looking at?
( crowd chatter)
( laughing)
( people laughing
and exclaiming)
Winner, seven.
Front line winner.
Play come.
Any craps.
Cut the seven.
Again.
CROUPIER: Lucky
seven, 11, any craps.
( women exclaiming)
Number's up on the come-out.
Comin' out.
Cut to seven,
bet the hard eight, hard eight.
( people gasping)
Seven again.
Pay the front line.
Front seven shooter.
Bet the front line.
Bet the seven, 11, any craps.
Bet the hard eight.
MacGYVER: Let it ride.
I've got this afternoon's
net winnings figure.
What is it, Jack?
That's the one.
Your Virgin Mary, sir.
Oh. Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
You're welcome.
Okay, here we go.
Come on.
( people exclaiming)
CROUPIER: Seven.
Right here, bet the front line.
Any craps.
I want you to
find out who he is.
My pleasure.
Uh, we'll let that ride again.
Hi.
I'm Tiffany.
Bond.
James Bond.
Uh, again.
Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
That's over our limit.
Let it ride.
Good luck.
Somehow, I know you mean that.
CATLIN: Would
you like to go again
for the whole $130,000?
Lucky dice.
CATLIN: Let's see
how lucky you really are.
Think I'll pass.
Don't want to be greedy.
This table is closed,
ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you very much.
Excuse me.
I have to ask a favor.
I'm going to feel
a little nervous
walking around with all
of your money in my pockets.
I assume the casino has a vault?
Not a very big vault, is it?
CATLIN: No, but big enough
to keep your money safe
until you're ready
to have another try
at your luck, Mr., uh...
MacGyver.
MacGyver.
I haven't seen you around.
I haven't been around.
So, Jack, it's been fun.
I'll tell you, Jack,
I've about had my
fill of the crap table.
Mr. MacGyver, you
made six straight passes.
The odds are against it.
MacGYVER: Yeah, that's why
they call it gambling, I guess.
These dice are perfect.
Yeah, you can say that again.
Huh?
Which is why we noticed...
you've forgotten your drink.
Seven. The hard way.
I'd like you to accompany
these gentlemen to my office.
It's a little more private.
Take him out.
Well, Jack, you've
been terribly civil
about this up until now.
Why not?
Oh! Oh, you clods.
The least you could
do is help me up.
All right, you, hold it.
Hold it, I said.
( blows whistle)
This way!
CATLIN: It's stuck!
GUARD: Hold it! Get him!
( gunshots)
Think, MacGyver.
Of course.
Hey, MacGyver, what happened?
The diamonds aren't
in the casino vault.
They must be in
his private suite.
Oh, great.
I never said it was
going to be easy.
How can you sleep?
Usually, it's no problem.
MacGyver...
Come on, MacGyver.
( grunts)
It was terrific.
I mean last night.
I was scared and excited and...
it's like all the
frustration just let go.
Felt good, did it?
Oh, felt great.
More coffee?
Uh, more coffee?
Sure.
That Catlin's suite?
Mm-hmm,
and the diamonds
must be in his vault.
Well, I'll find 'em.
Well, we don't have
to worry about Catlin...
He's always on
the casino floor...
But last night
his security guard
told me that Catlin
has a spy camera
and an alarm system
covering the suite.
Well, the guy figures
to be a little careful.
MacGyver, there
are over 200 pounds
of diamonds in there.
Even if you can open the vault,
getting the diamonds
out'll be impossible.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
But the way I plan to do it,
it's going to be kinda noisy,
kind of, uh, public.
You know what I mean?
So I'm going to need
a major distraction.
Small riot
in the casino
would do just fine.
You're going to cause
a riot in Catlin's casino?
Oh, you bet.
You can't possibly show
your face in there again.
I won't.
You will.
( dial tone droning)
I hope I can walk
with that thing in there.
Just make sure
you get this magnet
as close to the roulette
wheel as possible.
( laughs): Maybe I can hop.
No, it'll be all right.
What are you doing with my ring?
Give me your finger.
Ooh, who am I
supposed to scratch?
You're not going
to scratch anybody.
Just like this when
you're playing blackjack.
Oh, and then accuse
them of cheating.
Yeah.
Then you do the
roulette, the slots.
But, Chris, you got to make sure
it comes together at 2:10 sharp.
All right, you remember,
as soon as the
diamonds are in my car,
you get in your car and you go.
I'll be right behind you.
But it's got to come
together at 2:10 a.m. sharp,
or we're history.
I'll be here. Good.
MacGyver?
Yeah... we're gonna make it.

MacGYVER: Now if
Thomas Edison is correct,
at 2:10, when these wires touch,
all the slot machines

oughta go crazy.
MAN: Excuse me.
Think this machine
will change my luck?
Win some, lose some.
MacGYVER: Going to have to deal
with that security camera
in the penthouse hall.
The mirror from Chris' compact
ought to show
them a thing or two.
CROUPIER: All bets down, please.
( door opening)
MacGYVER: All right, got to
call a little attention to myself.
It should take at
least 90 seconds
for the security
people to get up here.
About enough time for
me to get into Catlin's.
Maybe.
Thomas? Yeah.
Some kind of interference.
Go check it out.

Good evening.
Is there anything you need?
I could use some
luck... right about now.

Hey, Catlin, how
about bringing me

I've already lost $30,000.
Tonight, luck is with the lady.

It's the penthouse again.
Get up there. I'm on my way.
I'll tell Mr. Catlin.

Round and round.

we have an intruder alarm
in your penthouse apartment.
Excuse me. I'll be right back.

CHRIS: MacGyver?
Yeah.
It's me.
Don't do what he tells you.
I'll kill her unless you
do exactly as I say.
I'm here.
There's a small park
just near the breakwater.
Oh, and MacGyver...
don't forget to
bring the diamonds.
Morning.
Where's Chris?
Straight ahead. Turn
at the breakwater.
Your lady's
waiting in the plane.
Let go!
MacGyver!
See, MacGyver?
You wanted the girl...
you got the girl.
You gave him the diamonds?
Ah, yes, our Mr. MacGyver
is quite the romantic.
That's why... he loses
and I win.
Okay, let's go up front.
You two, come on.
Still got the ring?
What?
Oh, yeah. Use it.
You two! Inside!
( gasps)
Get the jack out
of that trunk fast!
Take it up to 30,000 feet.
The lack of
oxygen will kill 'em.
I got an idea.
All right, time to go.
All right, all right! I'm ready.
I hope this thing works.
Consider it a test drive.
Now, get yourself
down and brace yourself.
This could be fun.
Oh!
They should be
pretty docile by now.

( engine starts)
You can come up now.
How you feeling?
Great!
Great!

MacGyver.
MacGyver.
I haven't seen you around.
I haven't been around.
So, Jack, it's been fun.
I'll tell you, Jack,
I've about had my
fill of the crap table.
Mr. MacGyver, you
made six straight passes.
The odds are against it.
MacGYVER: Yeah, that's why
they call it gambling, I guess.
These dice are perfect.
Yeah, you can say that again.
Huh?
Which is why we noticed...
you've forgotten your drink.
Seven. The hard way.
I'd like you to accompany
these gentlemen to my office.
It's a little more private.
Take him out.
Well, Jack, you've
been terribly civil
about this up until now.
Why not?
Oh! Oh, you clods.
The least you could
do is help me up.
All right, you, hold it.
Hold it, I said.
( blows whistle)
This way!
CATLIN: It's stuck!
GUARD: Hold it! Get him!
( gunshots)
Think, MacGyver.
Of course.
Hey, MacGyver, what happened?
The diamonds aren't
in the casino vault.
They must be in
his private suite.
Oh, great.
I never said it was
going to be easy.
How can you sleep?
Usually, it's no problem.
MacGyver...
Come on, MacGyver.
( grunts)
It was terrific.
I mean last night.
I was scared and excited and...
it's like all the
frustration just let go.
Felt good, did it?
Oh, felt great.
More coffee?
Uh, more coffee?
Sure.
That Catlin's suite?
Mm-hmm,
and the diamonds
must be in his vault.
Well, I'll find 'em.
Well, we don't have
to worry about Catlin...
He's always on
the casino floor...
But last night
his security guard
told me that Catlin
has a spy camera
and an alarm system
covering the suite.
Well, the guy figures
to be a little careful.
MacGyver, there
are over 200 pounds
of diamonds in there.
Even if you can open the vault,
getting the diamonds
out'll be impossible.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
But the way I plan to do it,
it's going to be kinda noisy,
kind of, uh, public.
You know what I mean?
So I'm going to need
a major distraction.
Small riot
in the casino
would do just fine.
You're going to cause
a riot in Catlin's casino?
Oh, you bet.
You can't possibly show
your face in there again.
I won't.
You will.
( dial tone droning)
I hope I can walk
with that thing in there.
Just make sure
you get this magnet
as close to the roulette
wheel as possible.
( laughs): Maybe I can hop.
No, it'll be all right.
What are you doing with my ring?
Give me your finger.
Ooh, who am I
supposed to scratch?
You're not going
to scratch anybody.
Just like this when
you're playing blackjack.
Oh, and then accuse
them of cheating.
Yeah.
Then you do the
roulette, the slots.
But, Chris, you got to make sure
it comes together at 2:10 sharp.
All right, you remember,
as soon as the
diamonds are in my car,
you get in your car and you go.
I'll be right behind you.
But it's got to come
together at 2:10 a.m. sharp,
or we're history.
I'll be here. Good.
MacGyver?
Yeah... we're gonna make it.

MacGYVER: Now if
Thomas Edison is correct,
at 2:10, when these wires touch,
all the slot machines
and lights in the casino
oughta go crazy.
MAN: Excuse me.
Think this machine
will change my luck?
Win some, lose some.
MacGYVER: Going to have to deal
with that security camera
in the penthouse hall.
The mirror from Chris' compact
ought to show
them a thing or two.
CROUPIER: All bets down, please.
( door opening)
MacGYVER: All right, got to
call a little attention to myself.
It should take at
least 90 seconds
for the security
people to get up here.
About enough time for
me to get into Catlin's.
Maybe.
Thomas? Yeah.
Some kind of interference.
Go check it out.
( buzz of conversation)
Good evening.
Is there anything you need?
I could use some
luck... right about now.

Great.
No combination,

And you're no help.

Hey, Catlin, how
about bringing me
some luck?
I've already lost $30,000.
Tonight, luck is with the lady.

It's the penthouse again.
Get up there. I'm on my way.
I'll tell Mr. Catlin.
Place your bets.
Round and round.
All bets down now.
( whispers): Mr. Catlin,
we have an intruder alarm
in your penthouse apartment.
Excuse me. I'll be right back.
CROUPIER: Five black the winner.
Looks good to me, Mr. Catlin.
Something set the alarm off.

Excuse me, sir.
Is there something
wrong with this card?
She's right.
This place is a rip-off!
These cards are marked!
Hey, we've been taken!
What kind of place is this?
All these cards are marked!
I want my money
back... Every dime of it.
500 bucks. And I want
to talk to the manager!
Buzz off, buster!
Let go of me!

This is a horrible place! Hey,

CHRIS: MacGyver?
Yeah.
It's me.
Don't do what he tells you.
I'll kill her unless you
do exactly as I say.
I'm here.
There's a small park
just near the breakwater.
Oh, and MacGyver...
don't forget to
bring the diamonds.
Morning.
Where's Chris?
Straight ahead. Turn
at the breakwater.
Your lady's
waiting in the plane.
Let go!
MacGyver!
See, MacGyver?
You wanted the girl...
you got the girl.
You gave him the diamonds?
Ah, yes, our Mr. MacGyver
is quite the romantic.
That's why... he loses
and I win.
Okay, let's go up front.
You two, come on.
Still got the ring?
What?
Oh, yeah. Use it.
You two! Inside!
( gasps)
Get the jack out
of that trunk fast!
Take it up to 30,000 feet.
The lack of
oxygen will kill 'em.
I got an idea.
All right, time to go.
All right, all right! I'm ready.
I hope this thing works.
Consider it a test drive.
Now, get yourself
down and brace yourself.
This could be fun.
Oh!
They should be
pretty docile by now.
( chuckles)
( engine starts)
You can come up now.
How you feeling?
Great!
Great!
