Is that a fishing lure?
Yeah, I call it the Harry Jackson Dazzler.
Here, might improve your luck.
Whoa!
Thanks.
You say you learned to fish from your grandfather, huh?
Yeah.
Long time ago, when I was a kid.
But he moved to California. So I don't see him that much.
Yeah, I know how that is.
My grandson lives in California.
Seems like an awful long way off sometimes.
Yeah.
Want to see his picture?
Sure.
There you go.
He's your grandson?
Boy, he's old.
Uh, I mean, you don't look that old.
Well, uh, I'll let you in on a little secret.
I don't feel that old, either.
Uh, try,
try keeping your wrist straight when you cast.
You'll get a little more distance.
Okay.
Hey, mister, you okay?
Just do me a favor, bud.
Go to the cottage back down the trail there.
Tell them to get an ambulance.
Fast as you can.
Our earliest flight with an available seat
departs at midnight.
No, that's too late.
Please, my grandfather's in the hospital.
I have to be in Minneapolis today.
Are you sure you don't have a seat on an earlier flight?
I'm sorry, sir.
The best I can do is keep you on a wait list
for the next available flight.
Uh, okay.
Uh, do that. Thank you.
- No luck? - Wait listed.
You know, his worst fear is dying alone somewhere.
He needs me, Pete. I'm the only family he's got.
Well, we still have to turn the Sun Boat over
to the Egyptian consulate representative.
That should keep your mind off things for a while.
Maybe by the time we finish,
something will break with the airlines.
If not, I'll try to get you a military flight, okay?
Mr. Thornton.
Here's Hakim now.
Mr. Thornton, good to see you again.
- Mr. Hakim. - Yeah.
This is MacGyver.
Mr. Hakim is the consul officer
in charge of repatriating Egyptian artifacts to the Cairo museum.
We've been working on the Sun Boat acquisition for a month now.
Pleasure indeed.
Hello.
Well, this way, gentlemen.
I'll be very happy when the transfer is complete.
Ever since my country started lobbying
to return Egyptian artifacts to our homeland,
the demand on the black market has become fierce.
I'm afraid a piece like the Sun Boat is a tempting target.
Uh, this is Jeremy Stintson,
the museum's antiquities curator.
Uh, I read the paper you published
on religious rites of the 18th dynasty, Mr. Hakim.
Most impressive.
You are too kind.
I am merely an interested amateur.
May I see it?
The finest example
of middle kingdom artistry I've ever seen.
The museum will miss it.
Is it not magnificent?
Well, it's certainly easy to understand
why your country wants artifacts like this returned home.
This, uh, this symbol,
looks like the one you're wearing, isn't it?
Yes.
It stands for Ka.
It is said to protect a man's spirit in this world and the next.
Are you familiar with the legend of Osiris, MacGyver?
I'm not up on my Egyptology, no.
The pharaohs believed when they died,
Osiris would guide them to the afterlife
to meet Anubis, judge of the netherworld.
A haunting figure, isn't he?
MacGyver, are you all right?
Uh, I have to check up on my grandfather.
Excuse me.
Once you sign the papers,
the Sun Boat will officially be in your custody, Mr. Hakim.
Please express my government's thanks
to the Phoenix Foundation, Mr. Thornton.
Your negotiations with the museum made this possible.
Well, we're glad we could be of help.
Someone took the Sun Boat.
Hang on.
Come on, friend, hang on.
The transfer went well.
The Sun Boat's in the trunk.
You fool.
This was supposed to be a clean operation.
I wanted no one hurt.
The American attacked me.
I had no choice.
Thanks to you,
the police will not rest until they find who did this.
Everyone will be investigated.
But you said your diplomatic immunity would protect us.
Not for long.
We must smuggle the Sun Boat out of the country tonight,
under embassy seal.
Once it's in my client's private collection,
no one will see it again.
Then we'll be safe,
and very rich.
But he saw my face. He can identify me.
Then he must not live to get the opportunity.
Dr. Rozoff to Radiology 3.
Dr. Rozoff, Radiology 3.
How is he?
Well, the doctor's still in there with him.
What about the police? They have any luck?
I'm afraid not. Nobody got a good clear look at the thief.
Uh, this is Tarik, my security aide.
I felt you might require some backup.
Oh, good, I appreciate it.
It's gonna take a while to arrange for a Phoenix security team.
There's the doctor.
How is he? Is he all right?
There was a lot of fluid build-up from his head injuries.
Uh, we drained it and relieved the intercranial pressure
but I'm concerned there might be damage to the brain stem.
How bad?
We won't know until he comes around.
I'm sorry, your friend has lapsed into a coma.
Can I go in? Can I see him?
Yes, of course.
Dr. Chan to Oncology.
Dr. Chan, Oncology.
MacGyver?
Don't worry, pal, I'm right here with you.
Pete, what's happening to me?
Answer me, Pete. What's goin' on?
Does he have any family who should be notified?
His grandfather.
But he just went in the hospital this morning
after a serious heart attack.
When you think about it,
I'm the closest he's got to family.
Come on, MacGyver.
You never quit on me before.
Don't do it now.
You're gonna pull through this.
Wait a minute!
That's the guy!
He stole the Sun Boat.
He's working for Hakim. Can you hear me? Pete!
Pete, that's the guy!
Give it up, bud.
You can't afford to waste your breath.
Harry? Is that you?
Last time I looked.
What are you doin' here?
I'm lookin' at this fine mess you got yourself into.
You gotta learn to be more careful, bud.
No!
Harry! Don't go!
Pete?
Harry, wait!
Harry!
Pete!
- I have to get on board. - Of course, you do.
Wait your turn like everyone else.
My grandfather's on this ship. I've got to see him.
What seems to be the problem?
Are you in charge here?
I'm Chief Purser Anubis. How can I help you, MacGyver?
How do you know who I am?
It's part of my job.
Have I seen you before?
I take many forms.
It helps me relate better to those who pass through here.
Where's here?
Why, the other side, of course.
Other side of what?
The other side of life.
This is the netherworld, MacGyver.
You mean...
I'm...
Dead?
Dr. Rose, 1127.
Dr. Elder, 2297.
Dr. Elder.
Put this in MacGyver's IV at your first opportunity.
I've got two MacGyvers, Ellen and James.
But they both came with the ship to meet a new passenger, Harry Jackson.
That's him. Harry's my grandfather.
Did you say...
James and Ellen MacGyver?
Those are my parents.
Please, let me on board.
I'm sorry, but you're not on the manifest.
Try his name again.
All right, I'll let them know.
Yeah, thanks.
Have the police found out anything?
Not a thing.
It's as if the Sun Boat just vanished into thin air
along with the thieves.
Lieutenant Rhome thinks that whoever did this,
had to know of the Sun Boat's delivery schedule in advance.
The possibility that one of our own people
was responsible.
It's an outrage.
Well, I just told the lieutenant
he could search the Phoenix Foundation.
And he wants permission to check out your consulate.
I must consult the ambassador before allowing such a search.
I'm sure he'll agree.
I'll fix everything.
Yes, MacGyver.
There we are.
He's clear to go aboard now.
Ah.
So, I'm...
I'm really dead?
Have a pleasant journey, MacGyver.
Harry.
What are you doing here, bud?
Well, I was looking for you.
Well, okay, now you've found me.
Why don't you do us both a favor and just go.
Oh, come on, Harry.
Look, I know you're upset. But I tried to get to you
as soon as I heard about the heart attack.
That's got nothing to do with what's eatin' at me.
I've seen some bone-headed moves in my time,
but then you comin' on this ship,
that takes the blue ribbon.
Well, I didn't have much choice.
I'm dead. Just like you.
Nonsense, you can't be dead!
Well, I fell three stories to the top of a car.
I... I think it's pretty likely.
The fall didn't finish you off, bud.
You can still fight.
Wait a minute.
So what are you sayin'?
I'm not dead?
It's up to you.
The second boarding call. Be one more.
If you're still on board when they cast off,
you won't ever get back.
Harry, Harry!
Mom and Dad are here.
They're sentimentalists.
Oh, they say they're just here to help me along here.
As if I'm gonna get lost.
Well, you know where they are?
Well, come on, take me to 'em!
Haven't you been listening to me?
Come on, Harry!
I haven't seen Dad since I was 10,
and you know what happened when mom died.
I never got a chance to tell either one of 'em
how much I really loved 'em.
They know, bud.
Are you gonna take me to 'em,
or do I have to hunt all over this boat on my own, huh?
I suppose changing your mind is out of the question.
Yes, sir.
You always were stubborn.
Just like your grandma.
Yeah, well, she used to say I got that from you.
Come on, I haven't got all day.
He's gone into V-fib.
Get a cart in here and draw A.B.G.'s and lytes, stat.
Yes, doctor, right away.
Code blue, I.C.U. 3, code blue, I.C.U. 3.
Respiratory therapy, I.C.U. 3, respiratory therapy, I.C.U. 3.
That's MacGyver's room.
The afterlife certainly has its attractions.
Careful, bud, remember, you're just a visitor.
I don't know, Harry.
For the first time since I can remember,
I feel like I'm where I belong.
Like I've finally come home.
Harry, it's them.
Better let me talk to them first.
They're not expectin' to see you.
Dad!
Oh.
It's so good to see you again.
Welcome aboard, Harry.
You're both a sight.
Oh, Lord, I missed you so much.
No more, Dad.
We're taking you home.
You wouldn't know about Celia, would you?
She couldn't make the trip.
You know how she is on boats.
Mom's at home, Dad.
She can't wait to see you.
She's fixing you one of her famous special occasion dinners.
Oh.
Sounds great.
I'm starved.
Son?
Oh, honey, it is you.
It really is you.
Dad.
You always were full of surprises, son.
We didn't expect to see you for a while.
Yeah, well,
kind of a last minute change of plans.
You're here with us now.
That's all that matters.
Isn't it wonderful, Dad? We're a family again.
- What's the B.P.? - 70 over 30.
What's happening to him? What's going on?
For some reason his heart has gone into ventricular fibrillation.
In other words, his heart has stopped.
Well, you told me he was stabilized.
What's caused this?
I wish I knew.
He's dying, Mr. Thornton.
Doctor, we need you, sir.
Please, excuse me.
Dying?
I put the Sun Boat in your office safe at the consulate.
Arrangements have been made to ship it out of the country tonight.
Unfortunately the police already suspect this was an inside job.
They want permission to search the consulate and all diplomatic parcels.
You must not allow it.
Refusing to permit such a search
would only make them suspicious.
We must give them a new suspect to investigate so they will leave us alone.
Who?
Peter Thornton.
If he disappears, the police will think he's taken the Sun Boat.
As soon as MacGyver is dead,
Thornton will join him.
The next thing I knew, there you were,
riding a bicycle off the barn roof,
wearing a parachute
made with my best bedsheets on your back.
I'll never forget the look on her face.
I don't know which she was worried about the most.
You or the linen.
Dad, how could you remember that?
It happened after you died.
Just because we don't live in the world anymore
doesn't mean we don't take an interest in what goes on there.
He's right, dear. We've watched you.
Seen the things you've done, the people you've helped.
Two parents couldn't be more proud.
Well, I'm not so proud of myself.
I wasn't there for you when you died in the hospital.
Oh.
I knew you wanted to be there.
That's all that's really important.
But I've always felt guilty about that.
And I wanted a chance to say I'm sorry.
Mom, I just couldn't get back.
Let go of the past.
You've earned a rest.
You're going home.
Hogwash.
Now, Harry.
It's not the boy's time, I tell you.
Isn't it, Harry?
I'm all that's left of the family now.
What do I have to go back for?
There are other people.
Friends who depend on you.
Oh, they'll get along without me.
Willin' to put money on it?
Leave him alone, Dad. He's been through enough.
He's got a right to know the consequences of his decision.
Bring that coin over here, bud.
What's goin' on, Harry?
The future, bud.
Hakim's gonna kill Pete.
We've gotta stop him.
The only one who can stop him is dead.
That's right, bud, it's you.
What's my being dead have to do with Hakim killing Pete?
When you're alive, everything you do has an effect on others.
You make ripples like tossing a stone in a pond.
Same when you die.
Well, I've gotta warn him.
I've gotta get back.
You can try.
But there are no promises, bud.
Mom, Dad.
You're leaving, aren't you?
I think Harry's right.
It's not my time.
And if I stay, one of my best friends is gonna die.
We were finally together again.
Don't cry, Ellen.
It won't make things any easier.
Are you sure about this, son?
God, I miss you both so much.
This is not goodbye. We'll see each other again.
Tell Grandma, I'm sorry I missed dinner.
Last call, bud.
All ashore.
Dad.
Prepare a cardiac syringe. 10 C.C. of epinephrine.
One, two, three...
What's the B.P. now?
It's dropping, uh, 70 over 30.
Somehow his potassium level is way up.
So give him glucose and insulin to counteract.
Prepare to defib.
60 over 30. Dropping.
One, two...
Charging to 400 joules.
...three, four, five.
The paddles are on charge, doctor.
One...
Prepare to cast off.
Hey, uh, hold on. My grandson's got to get off this tub.
I'm afraid that's totally out of the question.
No, you don't understand. I'm not dead.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Watch who you're grabbin' here.
Classic case of denial.
There's always one on every trip.
They'll upset the other passengers.
Let them cool off in the engine room until after we embark.
Hey, somebody's gonna be murdered
if I don't get back.
You'll feel much better soon.
Jammed the wheel.
I knew it was a mistake letting you stay on this boat.
It wasn't your decision. It was mine.
What was all fired important about you
comin' on this boat after me?
Maybe because there was so much left unsaid between us.
Like..
I'm sorry.
Sorry?
For not bein' around to spend more time with you.
Well, people have got to live their lives.
You don't like being crowded any more than I do.
No.
But I feel bad about all the weekends and the holidays I missed.
Well.
Do you realize, we didn't spend Christmas together once
after I moved to California? Not once.
Love's not
some bill to be paid on holidays and weekends, bud.
You want to let somebody know you care,
you do it when they're not around.
You know, like,
well,
livin' up to the example they set.
Well, thank you, Harry,
for settin' such a great example.
They're gettin' ready to cast off.
Sorry, bud.
Oh, come on, Harry.
We've been in tighter spots than this, right?
- One, two... - Charging.
...three...
- Stand clear. - ...four.
All clear, doctor.
We do have a talent for gettin' boxed in.
Yeah.
Remember that first camping trip we took?
Almost didn't make it when that truck of mine
got stuck in that steep washout.
Yeah, but you figured a way.
Harry, you're a genius.
I am?
Once again.
- Stand clear. - Clear.
I'm gettin' a little slow, bud,
what's this idea of mine?
When that truck was stuck, you said the best way
to beat a problem was to make it work for you.
So, you took a tire off a back wheel,
and tied a rope around the hub.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Then you took the other end of the rope
and wrapped it around that tree up the hill.
And you put her in gear,
and that truck just winched herself up.
So you figure that propeller shaft's gonna pull us out of this ditch?
Yeah, somethin' like that.
He's still in defib.
He's not responding, doctor.
- Stand clear. - Clear!
Come on, Harry.
You are a wonder, bud.
Just something my grandpa taught me.
I don't remember teachin' anythin' this crazy, bud.
All it can do is kill us, Harry. Come on.
No, no, no, bud.
My time is up.
Harry, let's go.
No. Celia's got supper waiting.
You remember, how she used to get if you showed up late for meals.
It's my time.
Goodbye, Grandpa.
I'll be seein' you, bud.
We've got a rhythm on him.
Oh, thank God.
He's got to keep fighting.
He's not on solid ground yet.
He's back in V-fib.
- Stand clear. - Clear.
No one leaves this ship.
Jump, bud. Go for it!
That's showin' 'em, bud.
Doctor.
Look, he's coming out of it.
He's stabilizing.
Your friend is quite a fighter, Mr. Thornton.
He has a normal sinus rhythm.
I don't believe it.
MacGyver, can you hear me?
Can you speak?
His autonomic responses need time to recover.
He's been through a great deal.
Yeah.
I just wish I knew who did this to him.
Look.
Maybe it's his reflexes.
No.
He's trying to tell us something.
Ka.
Are you sayin' Hakim's people did this?
You! This is all your doing!
No, this is a mistake.
Don't move!
Don't even breathe.
Doctor, can one of your staff call the police?
Tell them I'm holding three suspects
for theft and attempted murder.
Nurse.
Welcome back, MacGyver.
So, after Hakim's men confessed,
the Egyptian ambassador was more than willing
to let the police search the consulate.
They found the Sun Boat in Hakim's office safe.
He's been declared persona non grata.
Which means he'll be deported home to face charges.
I understand the Egyptian court
has a real thing for artifact thieves.
Yeah.
Well, I for one am just glad
the Sun Boat is safely in the Cairo museum,
where it can't cause any more trouble.
You know, MacGyver,
I'm really sorry you didn't make it back to your grandfather's funeral.
I know how much he meant to you.
It's okay, Pete.
I think Harry understands.
You know, for a while there,
I thought I was gonna have to go to your funeral.
When I think of how close you actually came to dying,
I don't mind telling you,
it still scares me.
Thanks, Pete.
But you know something?
Death's not so scary.
I don't think it's the end of anything.
It's more like, just another step along the way.
That's a nice thought.
Yeah.
Just somethin' my grandpa taught me.
