MacGyver, what's shakin'?
Hey, Wilt, how you doing?
Just dropped by to borrow your paper.
The paper boy chucked mine in the bay again.
Well, that'll happen when you live on a boat.
Aren't you a little old to be playing ice hockey?
Listen, why don't you come out with me some time? Skate warm-up.
- Be good for you. - Right.
I've seen how you come home after those games.
You're like Grandpa McCoy!
Oh! Oh, dag gum it!
Yeah.
- Let's go in there. - Yeah.
Oh, listen, I love this song, One More For The Road.
It's so hot.
♪ I've heard it said that love is a drug ♪
♪ Well, I can't get enough ♪
♪ I need a mainline ♪
♪ Shot to the heart ♪
♪ And your lovin' touch ♪
♪ It feels oh, so good and you're so fine ♪
♪ Come on, baby, give me ♪
♪ One more for the road ♪
♪ Keep me rocking till checkout time ♪
♪ Oh, sugar, give me ♪
♪ One more for the road ♪
♪ Come on, give me a shot ♪
♪ I gotta hit the bricks ♪
♪ Sing a little pain for my fortune and fame ♪
Wasn't that fun?
Let's go check out one of those clothing stores.
- There she is. - Yup.
Travers said she'd be wearing a purple leather jacket with fringes.
Let's go.
- Let's go there. - Yeah.
Oh, these are cool.
Todd Williams would love these on you.
No way. He doesn't even know I'm on the planet.
You said he sat next to you at lunch.
He's 16!
So, when he's 30, you'll be 28. Big deal.
Oh, Lisa, I'm never telling you anything again.
Ingrid, just look at these.
Oh, wow, they're great.
Let's try one.
Am I too cool for school, or what?
You've got your dad's credit card. Buy it.
I'll take this one.
Can't you just hear my father?
Yeah.
Cheap.
The shoddiest.
You creep! What do you think you're doing?
Let me out of here!
You can't do this!
Open the door now! Help me, please!
What'd you do with my friend?
Charlie, Charlie.
Smart brokers listen, they don't talk.
How many shares gets us control of the board?
Well, Ludlum's white knight goes $60 a share,
we'll float a bond issue and go $70.
Whatever we need to take Ludlum down.
Charlie, what do I care how many blue collars I put out of work?
This is business.
We crush Ludlum like a bug, our stocks are gonna go through the roof.
Neil, what is it?
Can't you see I'm in the middle of a major transaction?
Sorry to interrupt you, Mr. Woodman,
but a messenger just dropped this off for you.
It was marked urgent, so I opened it.
You better have a look at this.
I'll get back to you, Charlie.
Someone's taken Lisa.
Oh, my God.
What are you going to do?
The note said not to call the police.
I'm not calling the police.
- Hello? - MacGyver.
Eric Woodman. Lisa's father.
Hey, Eric, how are you doing?
You're not gonna believe this. Lisa's been kidnapped.
What?
When?
I don't know. She went shopping this morning
with my maid's daughter.
They've just delivered her jacket to the house,
Along with a note saying they will call with further instructions.
MacGyver, I need your help.
All right, if they call, you agree with everything they say.
I'll be right over.
Uh, Neil, get Charlie back on the phone.
Tell him to forget the Ludlum deal,
sell all the stocks in my portfolio.
I'm gonna need all the cash I can get my hands on.
Mr. Woodman, when word gets out on the exchange
you've liquidated your assets,
the brokers could read this as a panic move.
They'd be like sharks in a feeding frenzy.
- You could lose everything. - I don't care.
Get Charlie on it now.
- MacGyver, thanks for coming. - Hi, Eric.
You heard from the kidnappers?
Nothing so far. Come in. Come in.
You got any idea who these guys are?
No. All I have is this note.
My success is no secret, though. It could be anyone.
You call the police yet?
No, the note says they'll kill her if I do.
That's why I called you.
After the way you handled yourself in Switzerland with Lisa,
I knew I could trust you to help.
I'll pay you, of course, whatever it takes.
Name your price.
Eric, this isn't about money, it's about Lisa's life.
You have to call the police.
- But they said... - No, it doesn't matter. You call them.
Ask for Lieutenant Rhome.
All right. Whatever you say.
Mr. MacGyver.
My Ingrid would have called by now if she was all right.
I'm so frightened.
Take it easy, Greta.
It's gonna be okay.
Hey, who's out there? Let me out of here, please!
Somebody help! Can you hear me?
Please, can you hear me? Answer me if you can hear me.
Open the door. Please, open the door!
Get me out of here, please, help me.
Answer me, let me out of here!
Get me out of here, please!
Hey, I'm working on it, okay? I'm working on it!
Please.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, God, they took my friend. I need to get home.
Can you drive me?
Hurry, this is an emergency!
Okay, kid, okay.
The phone's connected to the computer.
Okay, we're ready for the test.
All right, put the call through.
All right, you're calling from 555-4566.
The database at the telephone company
tells us your location is...
Intersection of Bronson and Fairdale.
Bronson and Fairdale?
We're online. It's working perfectly.
Thanks, Vinnie.
Dad? Where are you? Dad?
Lisa!
- Lisa! - Daddy!
They took Ingrid.
Two men in a van. I tried to stop them,
but they locked me in a supply room.
Slow down now. Easy here. Everything's gonna be fine.
MacGyver.
Hi, baby.
What are you doing here?
Well, I'm worrying about you, like everybody else.
Oh, Lisa!
Oh, thank God you are safe!
And where is Ingrid?
The two men, I tried to stop them...
But, they sent your jacket to your father.
Ingrid was wearing it.
Oh, no!
No. This can't be true.
They can't have my Ingrid.
Greta,
we'll get her back.
Um, Lisa?
I'm Lieutenant Rhome.
Do you think you can describe the men who took her?
Yeah, sure.
I really only got a good look at the one who grabbed me.
He was tall, dark curly hair.
Age? Height?
I'd say in his 30s, I guess.
Not as tall as MacGyver.
Rough hands, like he probably worked with them a lot.
Hands, fingerprints!
What fingerprints?
He left a big greasy thumbprint on Ingrid's sunglasses.
Well, I'll be...
Way to go, Sherlock.
MacGyver, is Phoenix still developing that computer-imaging system?
The face-finder? You bet.
Maybe you could run Lisa down there,
and see if you can come up with a composite of this guy.
Will do.
Mr. Woodman.
Now, Mr. Woodman, listen.
They may not know they've got the wrong girl,
so tell them whatever they want to hear,
and keep them on the line.
- All right. - Now, hold it just a second.
Hello, Eric Woodman.
$3 million, Woodman.
In cash.
Or your little girl won't live to see her next birthday.
All right. $3 million, whatever you say.
Where and when?
Leave the money at the flagpole in Observation Park.
Midnight.
And you better be on time, Woodman,
or the deal is off. Understand?
12:00, Observation Park. Right.
You will bring Lisa?
She'll be there.
Unless you do something stupid
and bring the police.
Uh, why are you doing this?
Wait... Wait a minute. How can I be sure she's still all right?
Damn! Not enough time.
They don't know they've got the wrong girl.
No.
But we'll get her back.
You are gonna pay them, aren't you, Daddy?
Lisa.
Honey,
I'm afraid that's not up to you or me to decide.
But Ingrid's my best friend in the entire world.
Look, this whole matter is out of my hands.
You just don't understand.
That's right. What do I know?
I'm only a kid. Who cares if my best friend's gonna die.
Oh, now, Lisa, don't even say such a thing.
Mr. Woodman,
I know this is a great deal of money, I,
I couldn't even dream of repaying you, but,
my Ingrid, she's all I have.
Well, we've just got to be realistic here, Greta.
The police know how to handle this sort of thing.
Are you going to give them the $3 million?
Uh, no, sweetheart, we don't have those kinds of resources.
We'll just have to handle it another way.
But something could go wrong, couldn't it?
There, you see? Something could go wrong.
But what do you care?
You just say, "Oh, my gosh, we're sorry,"
and go home like it's a bad day at the office.
That does it, young lady. You go up to your room.
I hate my room!
I hate this house, and I especially hate all your precious money!
She's upset,
but she'll be all right.
Yeah.
I'll take her down to the lab, we'll get to work on the composite.
Good.
What are the girl's chances?
Well, right now, that's up to the kidnappers.
No, they weren't like that.
Keep trying, okay?
How about those?
They were smaller, squintier.
Sort of like this.
No, no, no, not that round.
Just a little smaller.
That's it! Perfecto.
All right, let's try the mouths.
No, not that big.
This guy's lips were really close together,
sort of thin.
Mean.
No lips, like Mr. Krillman.
Who?
My piano teacher. Never mind.
I'll stop you when I see it.
No, they were smaller.
No, we're talking real small.
There, that's it! Right there.
That's him, that's the guy.
This is so cool. We did it, MacGyver.
I'm gonna post his picture all over school and all around the mall.
I mean, maybe somebody will recognize him and help us out.
Okay, let's get it printed out and over to the police, huh?
This thing's great, MacGyver.
Yeah, well, there are just so many combinations
of features in the world,
like the shape of your face.
It's just like your dad's.
I'd rather you didn't compare me to him, thank you very much.
Come on, Lisa, he's not such a bad guy.
We all get our priorities messed up once in a while.
How can you defend him?
All he thinks about is good old T.C.B.
- Hmm? - Taking care of business.
He doesn't care what happens to Ingrid.
No?
Then why is he risking his neck going to that park at midnight
to get her back, huh?
He'll do anything so long as it doesn't cost him any of his precious money.
I just have a bad feeling this isn't gonna work out.
Do you remember when we escaped
from that boathouse in Switzerland?
That wasn't supposed to work out either.
But it did.
Darn you, MacGyver.
I just hate the way you talk me into everything.
- Woodman give you any static? - Are you kidding?
He sings a different tune when he's on the receiving end.
Well, sweetheart,
if everything goes right,
you'll be home with your precious daddy by midnight.
What the devil!
This is not Lisa Woodman!
Who are you?
My name is Ingrid. Ingrid Colberg.
Don't hurt me, please, don't hurt me.
No.
Nobody's gonna get hurt.
What happened?
There was two of 'em.
You said to take the one with the purple leather jacket.
You got the wrong girl!
They must have switched jackets.
Now what did you do with the Woodman girl?
We left her locked up in the mall.
Damn it!
She's probably been found by now.
Woodman's got to be stringing us along,
just like he did when he closed the place down on us.
Yeah, so, what do we do with this one?
The same thing you do when you catch the wrong fish.
You use it for bait.
Now, Mr. Woodman, after you make the drop,
all of my units will hold position
until I give go orders from the command post. All right?
Now, we already have men stationed
here, here, and here.
And as soon as Ingrid is safe,
I'll give the order to seal the entire area.
We'll be watching you from this overlook right there.
If you spot anything suspicious, just whisper.
We'll hear everything you say.
- We ready? - Yep.
Ross, Lubash, stay here and keep an eye on the house.
Let's move out.
Mr. MacGyver,
I pray to God that you will bring my Ingrid home,
alive and well.
We'll do everything we can. We promise.
Daddy,
About what I said before. I'm sorry.
I know, sweetheart.
Be careful, okay?
Both of you.
There's a note.
What should I do?
Get it and read it to us.
All it says is observatory.
All units secure the perimeter.
Stay here. Watch the duffle bag.
Ingrid.
Ingrid, I'm a friend, okay?
All right, you're gonna be okay.
Ingrid!
Oh, Mr. Woodman, I was so scared.
They said to tell you something.
They said to tell you that they have the leverage.
The what?
It's a market term. It means they're in control.
Lisa.
What's recall number for his house?
4-1.
Let's get back there.
Lisa!
- Are you all right? - Yeah, I'm okay.
Lisa, answer me!
Lisa, where are you?
Lisa!
Ross! Are you okay?
In here!
Mom!
Oh, Ingrid, my baby.
Lisa!
Where is Lisa?
They took her.
No.
No. Oh, God! No.
Ingrid, I know you're tired,
but we're gonna have to learn everything we can about these people.
I don't remember anything.
I had on a blindfold.
Ingrid, think! Please.
All right, honey, I just want you to relax, okay?
What we're gonna do is pretend you're back there.
Now what do you hear?
Traffic sounds?
Uh, planes flying over?
No.
But I heard trains. I heard lots of trains.
All right, how close?
Oh, pretty close.
There are lots of warehouses down by the tracks.
Ingrid, um, this place they took you to,
did it feel big?
Mmm, pretty big.
I remember we had to go up stairs.
Was there anything special about the stairs? Anything different?
They were steep and narrow.
And they felt funny under my feet.
Funny, how? What, uh, slippery, rough?
Gritty, kind of.
Not like gravel, though.
Mind if I look at one of your shoes?
Steel shavings.
Could be from a place where they grind metal.
Like an ironworks or scrap yard.
I'll get my people right on it.
It's from upstairs. That's Lisa's private line.
Woodman.
Since you obviously have the police tapped into your other line,
I convinced your little girl to give us her private number.
You rotten scum! What have you done with my daughter?
No, you're the scum, Woodman!
I told you, no police.
But I should have known. You never did play by the rules.
I'm not gonna promise you anything
until I know Lisa's all right. I want to talk to her now!
Okay.
But you remember one thing,
this may be the last time you ever talk to her.
Daddy,
is that you?
Lisa, honey,
are you okay?
So far, but I'm scared.
Sweetheart, you'll be all right.
Just try to be calm, I'm going to do everything they tell me to do.
The stakes just went up, Woodman.
$5 million in unmarked cash.
And you get rid of the police.
Or she's dead.
You understand me?
I understand. Don't hurt her.
Tell me what you want me to do.
I'll get back to you.
No, tell me now! I want my...
I wish I'd known about this phone.
I'll have it rigged right away.
No.
I'm handling this myself.
I've got to do exactly what they say. No police.
Eric,
the police are the only ones who can help you.
Well, then let 'em do it from somewhere else.
The police station, anywhere.
From now on, I am doing exactly what the kidnappers tell me.
Why are you doing this? Why?
You want to know why? This is why.
You see this place?
400 men used to work here,
turning out 900 tons of steel a day.
Three shifts going around the clock.
And it's all gone.
What happened?
Your father is what happened.
He promised he'd keep the mill open after he bought us out,
but he shut us down with one phone call.
Why would he do that?
Because he didn't give a damn!
It's all a numbers game to sharks like him.
What your father did,
we all paid for.
Now he's going to pay.
Easy, watch it!
I'm getting very tired of you guys pushing me around!
You shut your mouth, kid!
Look, kidnapping me isn't going to change anything.
Just let me go.
I'll ask my dad to give all those jobs back. I promise.
A Woodman promise isn't worth the powder
it'd take to blow him to hell.
Mike.
You let her see our faces.
She can I.D. all of us.
She won't get the chance.
Wait a minute. What are you sayin'?
I'm saying it's too late.
All that matters now is making Woodman pay.
And believe me,
he is gonna pay.
$3,990,000, 10 makes $4 million.
Bank should have the other million arranged for pickup within the hour.
Good.
I just talked to Lieutenant Rhome.
The sunglasses and the composite paid off.
They I.D.'d a guy named Kirk Delaney.
- You ever heard of him? - No, never.
Well, he has a record for assault tied to a steelworkers' strike
about five years ago.
You say that as if it may be significant.
Yeah, well, steelworkers work in steel mills.
The metal tracings I found on Ingrid could be from a steel mill.
- The police are checking that? - Yeah, yeah, they are.
But you remember last night?
The kidnapper said that...
Well, you never played by the rules.
And then they gave Ingrid
that business phrase that let you know they had Lisa.
You mean about having leverage. What about it?
Well, I don't know, it just...
It sounds like they're trying to make it personal.
Is there a chance we're dealing with someone you've done business with?
How should I know? I'm... I'm always making deals.
Do those deals sometimes produce enemies?
MacGyver, I'm in a cutthroat business.
That comes with the territory.
Well, does that territory include steel mills?
What about Breland Steel? You shut that down last year.
Hmm, that was a leverage buy-out.
I never even set foot in the place.
And the chairman of the board wasn't very happy.
After the shutdown, I had to have him physically removed
from the plant a couple of times.
Travers, that's right.
A real hot head.
He was the founder, but he couldn't see the writing on the wall.
Breland steel was just a dog I put out of its misery.
But, I gave everyone three months severance.
It was more than fair.
Yeah, well,
a man spending his whole life trying to build a company
might not agree.
It was good business.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Listen, I'm gonna run out to Breland.
You want to call Lieutenant Rhome, tell him to meet me there?
Sure. Whatever you say.
Call the bank.
Make sure that other million's gonna be ready.
You know that liquidating like this
leaves you highly vulnerable to a takeover?
What other choice do I have?
Woodman here.
Do you have any idea who this is, Woodman?
Should I?
Only you could destroy a man's entire life
and never look him in the eye.
It's Mike Travers.
Formerly of Breland Steel.
Now I'm telling you that
because your daughter saw my face,
and it may be the last thing she'll ever see.
Travers.
Don't hurt Lisa, please.
I'll have your money together within the hour, all $5 million.
Good.
Now I want you to bring it to the steel mill,
so you can see for yourself what you destroyed.
I'll be there.
Alone, Woodman.
Or you'll never see your little girl again.
Mr. Woodman, what are you going to do?
- Exactly what they told me. - But what about the police?
Forget the police, I'm going alone.
If Travers catches MacGyver poking his nose around there,
he's going to kill my daughter.
Look, Molenski and me agreed to this whole thing
to help the men.
This will help the men.
There's no other way now.
Come on, Mike, gettin' money out of Woodman's one thing,
but you never said anything about killin' anybody.
I know, but we've got no choice.
How do we know he's not bringing the cops, huh?
Because I've got Woodman running scared.
We're in control now.
I still don't like it.
This is the only way it's gonna work.
Now, you stay here and watch the kid.
So why don't you bring the car around here to the scrap bay?
I'll watch for Woodman.
When we're through with him, I don't want to hang around.
Okay.
The guy you knocked down's got the key!
Delaney!
Woodman is pulling up at the gate.
Bring the girl.
Delaney? Do you hear me?
Delaney?
I don't believe that guy.
Let's go. Your father's here.
Come on, kid, now!
I'm coming, don't rush me!
Hey, what is this?
Get me down from here!
What the hell's going on here?
Hey!
Hey, Travers, do something!
Daddy, Daddy!
- Lisa! - Daddy!
Stop right there, kid!
Or I'll kill you both, right now.
I swear!
Let her go.
I have your money right here, sir.
Here's $5 million.
Let her go, now.
You think you can buy anything, don't you Woodman?
All I want is my daughter's life.
Please.
What about the lives of the 400 families you destroyed?
What are you willing to pay for those?
Travers, no! Don't do it! Please.
It's not worth it.
It's not gonna change anything.
I say it is!
Then you're gonna have to kill all of us,
and I don't think you're that kind of man.
That $5 million is going to the men,
their families.
Those people don't want blood money.
They want an honest day's work.
If you go through with this, there's no way
this place is ever gonna run again.
But if you give up now,
there's still a chance it can be reopened.
Right?
Listen to him, Daddy.
If all those men hadn't lost their jobs,
none of this would have happened.
Isn't that right?
Well, the place can be reopened, Travers.
I-I'll get my people on it immediately.
Sure you will.
Is that another one of those great Woodman promises?
You're gonna have to trust him.
Just like we have to trust you.
Daddy.
All right, get them out of here.
Lieutenant, I want to thank you for everything.
I'm sorry if I got a little crazy before.
Hey, forget it.
So, how long you think it'll take
before you get this place open again?
Well,
I'm not really sure if that's possible.
But you promised him all those men would get their jobs back.
Sweetheart, I'd have promised anything to get you back.
You lied to him!
Just like you lied to him before.
Daddy, can't you see what that does?
You can't just say anything you want to make things go your way.
Sounds like pretty good advice.
All right, I'll look into it.
Look into it?
All right, I'll do it.
Thank you, Daddy. I love you.
Lisa, I love you, too.
