Chapter VIII
The Final Confrontation/End Game
Saying Goodbye
MacGyver drove his car back to the compound and parked after the first hill in front of it. Kiley and Blake were hiding behind the rock MacGyver was last night. Kiley noticed Nikki's situation.
'MacGyver, what's going on?' Kiley asked.
'Nikki is an insider working for them.'
'What's with the broken arm?' Blake wondered.
'A little accident.'
'You broke my arm,' Nikki screamed.
'Put a cork in it, lady. Kiley, do you have handcuffs with you?'
'Yeah, what for?'
'For the lady. She betrayed us and that's why Jack Dalton's plane crashed and that's why he's dead now.'
Kiley gave MacGyver the handcuffs and he cuffed her.
'What are we going to do?'
'Trade her in for the hostages.'
'Not a too bad idea. How are we going to do that?'
'About the same way like yesterday, you guys, stay here with the lady and cover me.'
'What about me, dad?'
'Do what you got to do and come with me.'
'Thanks dad.'
'Don't thank me just yet; thank me when we're out of here with our girls. Alright, now, what's it like down there?'
'Full of soldiers,' Blake answered.
'On the roof too, I see.'
'Is that a howitzer, they got there on the roof?' Sam asked.
'A howitzer?' MacGyver looked up a bit and saw indeed a howitzer standing upon the roof. 'Apparently they have. Heavy guns for armless men. 'Ready, Sam?'
'Ready, dad.'
(Here the music comes up from the opening scene of the episode Bushmaster)
MacGyver and Sam got up and ran down the hill when an explosion followed by the howitzer. They ran towards the building and hid behind the crates, standing against the wall.
'Dad, what are we going to do?'
'I don't know.'
'You don't know, dad, don't do this to me, come on, think.'
'I know, Sam.'
'We were going to trade Nikki for our girls, remember?'
'Yeah, but how are we going to tell them about the broken arm?'
'Look, dad, we gotta get them back.'
'We surrender and fight our way out of there with our girls.'
'That doesn't sound like a good idea to me, dad.'
'First of all, we need to get rid of that howitzer on the roof.'
'Now you're talking.'
'So I think the best way is to go to the roof immediately and take out the howitzer.'
'Dad, I think it's better that I go to the roof and that you go rescue the girls.'
'That's not a bad idea, Sam.'
'I'm getting the hang of it.'
'Yes, you are. Let's go.'
MacGyver and Sam sneaked into the compound, splitting their ways up. Sam to the roof and MacGyver to the asylum again. MacGyver ran down the stairs, in search of Maria and the others. He took his SAK and started to pick the door again. This time, he didn't get caught, because no one was watching the monitors. He finished picking the door again and managed to open it. Finally! He got reunited with his wife Maria Romburg.
'Maria!' he said, going over to her and taking the handkerchief out of her mouth.
'MacGyver!'
They kissed each other, long and passionate.
'I missed you so much,' she said.
'I missed you too, baby,' he said kissing her over and over again.
'Untie me.'
MacGyver untied her, cutting the ropes with his Swiss Army Knife.
'Whose clothes are these?'
'They gave them to me, they didn't like the purple night robe I guess.'
'What happened to you?'
'Deborah and I fought.'
'Right, you know karate, I hope you kicked her ass.'
'No she kicked mine, I'm sorry.'
'Pretty badly as I can see.'
'That'll be alright, there is something else I would like you to know.'
'What's that?'
'I'm not sure but you probably noticed all the puke here?'
'Uhu, we ate that on our wedding.' He said pointing to a piece of lobster.
'Right.'
'So, what is it, then?'
'I'm not sure but I think I'm pregnant.'
'Pregnant of me?'
'Yeah, but I'm not sure. I could be wrong.'
'Then we'll take you to the doctor as soon as we get back from here.'
'Shouldn't we think of a name?'
'First we need to get Penny, Sally and Murphy out of here.'
'Where's, Sam?'
'He's up the roof, destroying the howitzer.'
(Suspenseful music comes up here again)
MacGyver was right; Sam slowly walked up to the door of the roof and looked through the small window of it. He saw four man standing on the roof.
'Jesus Christ! Four men?'
He sighed, how was he going to do that, taking out four men?
Hand to hand combat, maybe? No time for questions, he need to get rid of the howitzer and go to his girlfriend, so… he jammed the door in and got on the roof. The guards looked at each other but before they knew what happened, Sam floored a guy and disarmed him. A second came towards him but Sam kicked him in his stomach making him fall backwards. He took the MP5 and kept the men under shot.
(The music fades away here)
'Alright, gentlemen, don't you move, now.'
'Do you know, how the handle a gun like that?' the third man asked.
'What the hell do you think I am? Stupid?'
'You sure look like you're stupid.'
Sam took the safety off of the gun.
'You handle it a bit like this, don't you? Taking the safety off and all.'
The man was surely surprised.
'Now, you better drop your guns.'
The men dropped their guns, Sam noticed a particular gun.
'Hey, is that a desert eagle?'
'Yeah,' the fourth men answered, 'and a Beretta 9 mm and a six-shooter revolver.'
'You better give those to me and that Rambo knife too.'
'What are you going to do with it?'
'Playing. Now if you kindly throw all you're weapons down there including the howitzer.'
The men obeyed, surprising Sam.
'Put your hands behind your head.'
He took the men with him all the way downstairs to Capt. Kiley and Sgt. Blake.
'Sam? What are you doing here?'
'Doing your job,' he joked. 'I hope you got enough handcuffs for these fellas.'
'We know where to put them right, sergeant?'
'You sure, ya betcha. Never leave home without two pairs of handcuffs, my mother always say.'
'Momma's boy,' Nikki said.
'Shut up, you.'
Sgt. Blake and Capt. Kiley took care of the men, they had handcuffs for eight hands, and so they put the men around a tree and handcuffed them in a circle.
'I'm going back to my father.'
'What about us?' Sgt Blake asked.
'You stay here with Nikki to back us up, we'll let you know something when we need you.'
'Check!'
Sam ran back the building and found his way to the asylum. On his way to it he managed to disable the cameras. In the main room of that building they started to get the feeling something was wrong.
'Something is really wrong here.' Deborah said.
'I think, he's here,' Murdoc said.
'If MacGyver is here, you still take him alive, got it?' Zito ordered.
'Got it!' Deborah acknowledged.
'Why don't you come with us for a change?'
'I don't feel like it.'
'We always have to do everything,' Deborah mocked.
'I have to think what I'm going to do with Lt. Murphy.'
Deborah sighed. 'Whatever, whatever.'
In the meanwhile MacGyver and Maria succeeded to pick up open Penny Parker's door.
'Penny, are you in here?' he asked.
'MacGyver? Is that you?'
'Penny? Yeah it's me, are you okay?'
'I'm fine. Oh my god, MacGyver, I'm so glad you're here, Murdoc said, you wouldn't come.'
'He still doesn't know me then after 15 years,' MacGyver said cutting her ropes. 'What else did he say?'
'He loves me, he said and he would kill you.'
'He still doesn't know that you have to get up early to kill me.'
'Oh, but I did MacGyver, I did. I got up at a quarter to six.' Murdoc said suddenly appearing.
'Murdoc!' Penny cried.
(Music comes up here again and fades out)
Murdoc indeed got in Penny's room together with a few men, Deborah and Sam.
'You got my son,' MacGyver said.
'That's right MacGyver, I got your son. Come and get him.'
MacGyver didn't move.
'You don't want your son back?'
'I do, but I've got another idea.'
'Would you like to share it with us?' Deborah asked.
'Maybe. Because of you two people are dead, two good friends of ours but we also got something that belongs to you.'
'What's that?'
'Nikki Carpenter.'
'Nikki? Isn't she on your side?'
'I thought so, until the moment she became responsible for Jack Dalton's death.'
'Is our little pilot friend dead?' Murdoc asked.
'That's right, and that's when we found out she was on your side and betrayed us.'
'And what's your point, now?' Deborah asked.
'Trading Nikki for Sam.'
'I don't know about that. Murdoc?'
'What?'
'It sounds reasonable, don't you think?'
'Yeah, but it wasn't part of the plan.'
'Let's ask Zito.'
Zito got a call from Deborah.
'Zito, can you come down here? An emergency.'
'Why the hell, do I have to do everything myself?'
Zito came downstairs.
'What is it?'
'Should we trade Sam for Nikki or not?'
'No!'
Zito looked at MacGyver.
'Oh, hohoho. MacGyver! That man who defeated me five years ago. How does it feel to be hooked up in this?'
'I double dare you to find it out yourself.'
'Tough guy.'
'What are you talking about? Defeated by MacGyver?' Maria asked.
'Five years ago, I tried to teach him a lesson in evil and I got defeated instead of him.'
(Flashback scene from the episode Lesson in Evil)
'Pick up the gun, MacGyver.'
MacGyver looked at the gun.
'Sorry Zito, I know your riddle.'
'Huh?'
'The rope is the tread of life, the scissors is there to cut it off, then we have a scale or a balance, and with a little extra weight…'
MacGyver placed his foot on the platform, 'to trigger it off.'
With the extra weight of he putted on the platform, the platform crumbled under his feet, making the churchlike clock going off. MacGyver was thrown to the ground when the bell hit him; Zito took a board knocking MacGyver on his back. MacGyver nearly fell but could hold him on the edge.
'Evil never plays fair, that's why it always wins, and you loses. End of lesson, MacGyver.'
Zito stood on MacGyver's fingers, squashing them with his foot. MacGyver had to let go one hand, Zito stood on the other, which MacGyver couldn't hold either and let go off the edge jumping to the bell rope causing the bell hit Zito making him fall against the wall. MacGyver jumped the bars, climbing his way out of the cage, now it was his turn. He took a piece of rope and tied Zito real tight.
'Now look, take a look.'
MacGyver made him look into the cage of how deep it really was, he rips the key from Zito's neck.
'I'm keeping you alive because of Dr. Skinner but this is for Murphy.'
MacGyver slugged him real hard with his right fist making Zito fall into the cage hung up by the rope. MacGyver ran down the stairs to save Dr. Skinner from an electrifying death.
'Well done, dad,' Sam said.
'You let Sam go right now and we give you Nikki.'
'Tempting but no,' Zito said.
'If we just let Sam go to get her with one of our men?' Deborah wondered. 'We'll kill them anyways.'
'If you'll kill us anyway, what's the use then for bringing her here?' MacGyver said.
'Look, just go and get her, I'm uncomfortable with this situation here,' Deborah said.
'Feeling a little heat are we?' MacGyver taunted her.
Deborah stuck her tongue out.
'You there,' she said pointing to a man, 'take him with you and get Nikki in here.'
The man sighed for the job and took Sam with him outside.
'Just don't get any funny idea's!' he said.
'Fuck off, man!' Sam said.
'Big mouth eh?' the soldier slapped Sam in the back with his gun. 'There, that'll teach you.'
'If you just pulled my ear, I would have gotten the picture.'
Sam mumbled.
The men got outside at the door.
'Now, American, wait here, maybe you've got traps outside. I know your reputation.'
'No, that's my dad's reputation, I'm not as smart as he is.'
'Right! Signal your men from here.'
'OK, OK! Capt. Kiley! Sgt. Blake! Bring on Nikki.'
Blake could have sworn he heard something.
'Did you hear something?'
'Take a check!'
'Me? Why, me? You're the captain.'
'If you wanna be a good cop take a look.'
Blake took a look.
'My god, it's Sam again. He's waving at us to come.'
'So we'll come.'
'BRING NIKKI IN HERE!' Sam shouted from far.
'We have to bring her with us.' Blake said.
'Got it!' Kiley responded. 'Alright, missy, you come with us and don't get any idea's.'
Kiley and Blake took Nikki with Sam and the soldier and went back inside the building but when they got back at the place they left everybody was gone.
'Oh, great, terrific! Everybody is gone!' Sam said.
'Well, then I got no reason, to stay here any longer,' Nikki said. She wriggled herself loose from the agents, smashed Sam into a wall, scratched his jaw, making five bloody marks on his face and kneed him in the groin. Ouch!
'OW!'
'Get her, Blake!' Kiley ordered.
Blake ran after Nikki who was running down the hall.
'Get her, don't waist anymore of your time, get her.'
'Let her go, she's of no longer use to us.' Sam said.
'What? Why?'
'We'll get her in the end, she has nowhere to go except for the jungle and she has a broken arm. I think the best thing to do is to spread out and find our ways out like this. Just spread out and do your jobs, I got to find Sally.'
'Swell.'
So the men split up, fighting, shooting and destroying the compound. MacGyver came outside the compound hiding Maria and Penny Parker.
'Honey, you wait here until I can find Sam. Hide behind this truck.'
'But…'
'No buts, Maria. God, I love you so much, I don't want anything to happen to you, I want my kid being born. Come here.'
MacGyver and Maria embraced each other and kissed.
'Wait here or better wait inside the truck. I think it's pretty safe here. Nobody will look for you here, I hope.'
'Then I can better wait in the men's room,' Maria joked.
'Very funny, Maria, I'll be right back.'
'What if we get caught?' Penny asked.
'That won't happen and if that happens, I'll just have to rescue you again as usual.'
MacGyver went back inside the compound; he had one more door to open. The one with Sally and Lt. Murphy in it, there he bumped in with Sam again, he saw the scratches on Sam's face.
'Sam, what happened to you?'
'Good question, I might ask you the same thing, what happened to you?'
'Well, let's say I got a little too excited. They couldn't care less about Nikki, so all hell broke loose.'
'Nikki got away; she scratched me like a sorority kitten and kneed me in the groin, that bitch. Where are Maria and Penny anyway?'
'In a hiding place, I hope they're stupid enough to think that they're in the jungle.'
MacGyver was right of course a whole part of their army went looking in the jungle.
'Which they're not?' Sam asked.
'Of course not, with any luck they find the soldier that I caught there.'
'I hope they get lost over there.'
'I hope so too. Time to pick another lock again,' MacGyver said taking his knife again.
He started to pick the lock again with his knife.
'Can you do it, dad?'
'I hope so, son. Funny, I came to think of it that this door is locked from the other side.'
'You think?'
'I'm certain of it, trust me.'
MacGyver succeeded to pick the lock again.
'It's open.'
'Let's go in, dad.'
(Ominous music comes up)
MacGyver and Sam went in the room, which was empty.
'It's empty, dad.'
'I can see that, son.'
'Maybe it's an ambush.'
'Maybe.'
They were right but it wasn't Murdoc or Deborah who made the ambush it was Dr. Zito.
'Well well MacGyver. Mr. Malloy,' Zito said appearing from behind the door.
'Oh please, call me Sam.'
'Sam, I've got something you might like.'
Zito took Sally from underneath the bed keeping her under shot.
'Sally?!'
'Sam!'
Sam took the six-shooter revolver from under his jacket and aimed it at Zito.
'Whoa! Where'd you get that gun from?' MacGyver asked.
'Never mind, that now, dad, that's not important.'
'Where did that gun come from?'
'I took it along with a few other weapons I got when I destroyed the howitzer, that's all.'
'Give me the gun.'
'Dad?'
'GIVE ME THAT GUN!'
'Fine, take it!'
'And the other ones too.'
'Well, here's the Beretta and that's it.'
'Good. So, Zito, what are you going to do with her?'
'The same thing I'm going do with Lt. Murphy. Something I should have done a long long time ago.'
'Where is Lt. Murphy anyway?' MacGyver asked again.
'Right behind you MacGyver,' the lieutenant said.
MacGyver looked behind him and saw Murphy tied to the chair.
'Hang on, I'm coming to make you loose,' he said.
'I wouldn't dream of it,' Zito threatened. 'You untie her, I kill Sally.'
'Then I kill you,' Sam said aiming the desert eagle at Zito.
'Hey, you lied to me, you said you didn't had anymore weapons.'
'Screw that, dad and untie Murphy.'
Before MacGyver could really start untying Murphy his attention got drawn by a scream of Sally when Zito started to kiss her in her neck. She felled how his beard stung in her face. Sally started to wrestle to get free but Zito was too strong. Sam didn't know what to do, he was too afraid to fire the gun.
'Damn it, I can't get a clear shot.'
'You don't need to,' MacGyver said.
He was having trouble to untie her, it was a damn good knot, Zito made.
'Hurry up, MacGyver.'
'I'm trying, I'm trying! I'm going to use my knife again.'
Sally kept wrestling to get free from Zito and unexpectedly when he slightly had to release his grip upon her, she managed to give him an elbow blow in his stomach. She quickly turned around and gave him a head butt, followed by another blow in his stomach and another right hand punch in his face. Sam was astonished about her skills.
'Wow!'
'Surprised, baby?' she asked when Zito was down.
'Well, yeah.'
When they came so close to each other for a kiss, Zito got up again, his nose was bleeding, probably broken from the head butt and grabbed Sally by the shoulders smashing her against the wall and slugged her down with his left hand followed by a right in the face.
'You son of a bitch.'
Sam banged into Zito making him smash against the wall and started to punch him like a punching bag. Zito blocked a move and kneed him in the groin.
'Oh, shit, not again. That's twice this day,' Sam said while falling on his knees, he saw another fist coming towards him making him fall against the ground. Zito tried to run away but Sam caught him by his ankles making him fall too.
In the meanwhile MacGyver succeeded in freeing Murphy. She grabbed quickly the six-shooter out of MacGyver's hand.
'All right, Zito, that's it. Freeze!' Murphy said aiming the gun at him.
Zito didn't move for a second but then he slowly walked towards the door. He kicked MacGyver in the stomach, grabbed the chair and smashed it against Murphy's body, making her fall. Then he grabbed Sally again and took her hostage with him outside.
'Don't let him escape!' Murphy said.
'Don't worry,' Sam said, 'he's mine!' and ran after him.
'SAM!' MacGyver yelled after him but Sam was gone.
(Suspenseful music takes over)
Sam was running after Zito like a madman. If he touched his girlfriend on weird places, he would skin him alive no matter what his father would think about it. That disgusting filthy old man. But the old man ran pretty fast for somebody far over his sixties. He's what… like sixty-five or something? Well that doesn't really matter does it? What matters is that Sam was still running after them with his desert eagle. This guy should be a frigging cop, he probably watched too many Lethal Weapons. Sam was feeling like that Mel Gibson guy character. Zito and Sally got outside just like Sam. They started to head for the jungle while Sam started to fire his gun hoping not to hit his girlfriend. Pang-pang his gun was doing like that. Yes, he did it; he shot Zito in the back of his shoulder. Murphy came running outside with the six-shooter when Sam fired his last bullet. She missed five times but she hit Zito in his other shoulder with the last bullet.
'Good shot,' Sam said.
'Now what?' Murphy asked.
'I'm going after them and it could get ugly. You stay here, help my dad or something.'
Sam started running again when he saw that Zito and Sally were running into the jungle.
Sally tried to get loose again but it wasn't that simple, even with two bullets in his shoulders Zito was pretty strong, very unusual for an old man.
'Goddammit let me go you son of a bitch.'
Zito tried to calm her down… not.
'You bastard, dickhead.'
'Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names can never hurt me,' Zito said laughing out loud and was getting ready to rape her.
'God, no!' Sally screamed. 'Don't do this to me.'
'You're not so tough anymore like before huh?'
'Let me go, let me go. Let go off me.'
(The music grows darker here)
Sam saw what was happening with her and got suddenly so outrageous. This wasn't any human outrage but animal-like. He took his Rambo knife out that he got from one of the soldiers and made two horizontal bloody marks underneath his eyes and took fast paces forwards towards Zito. Sally got Sam in her eyesight and saw him come to them in ordinarily fast speed. He grabbed Zito and sliced his throat, blood splattering all around. Blood splattered on his face and on Sally's face, she started to scream. Zito fell down dead, but Sam wasn't finished, he pulled the corpse by his legs further down into the jungle and stabbed the dead Zito again, this time straight in his heart. The blood gushing sound was sickening, he started to wriggle the knife in the chest, and he made an opening and took his heart out. He let the little sunlight that was coming through the close trees, shining on it, and then he threw it away in the deepest jungle. He took the knife out of the heart and stabbed Zito again straight in the middle of his ribs. He pulled the knife all the way down to his ribcage to make the finishing touch of the incision, he pushed his fingers in the wound and with all his might and power he ripped the ribcage so hard open that it broke in little pieces. His guts was now seeing the daylight, now the jungle animals were having free food.
'I should have done this when you were alive you sick son of a bitch.' Sam's face was covered with blood; at least his entire right side was covered with it. He stood up and went to see where Sally was. Sally was crying near a tree. Her lip was bleeding. (The music fades away here)
'Sally?'
'Go away, I don't wanna see you again. Leave me alone.'
'Sally, it's over. He's dead, I killed him for sure. He won't bother you anymore.'
'Oh my god, look you at your face.'
'It got kinda bloody, your lip is bleeding.'
'I know,' she said keeping her hand to it. 'What was going on, why is this happening?'
'Well, just another attempt to kill my entire family, which are just me, my dad, my stepmother and you.'
'But we're not married yet.'
'I don't care, you'll always be family.'
Sam and Sally kissed finally for the first time in a long time.
'What's going to happen now?'
'We have to get back to my father, he's still in that compound.'
'So it's one done and two more to go, right?'
'Three more to go, that bitch of a Nikki Carpenter is an insider. She kneed me in the groin. Nobody knees me in the groin.'
'Well said, honey,' Sally said nudging against him.
Sam putted his arm around her shoulders when they walked back to the compound.
In the meanwhile MacGyver was searching through the compound, looking for Murdoc. He was nowhere to be found. MacGyver went out of the compound, once outside there he ran into Deborah. She aimed her gun at him.
'Hello MacGyver, it's great seeing you again.'
'Not likewise.'
'I failed the first time because of you.'
'Are we getting this again? We've been through this before.'
'Only this time, there's no cliff for me to fall into. I've got a few things to tell you.'
'Shoot!'
He shouldn't have said that, because she shot at him, she deliberately missed, lucky for him.
'Whoa!'
'Just shut up and listen.'
'What would you like to say to me?'
'I'm sorry.'
'Get real. You tried three times to kill me and you never succeeded, and then tried to kill me by kidnapping my wife. A so-called conspiracy on the MacGyver-clan.'
'There are a few things you don't know about me, you never knew about it.'
'Tell me about it.'
'Nikki Carpenter and I are sisters.'
'Relatives, no fucking way.'
'Yes, fucking way. We were separated from the very beginning. Since our birth and you wanna know something else. Debra, the girl you helped in South-East Europe?'
'When I was on the assignment with that nun and that orphanage? What about her?'
'She's my non-identical twin sister.'
'What?'
'That's right, MacGyver. I never thought of that until the day I decided to grave deep inside my dark past. It appears that all three of us has the exact same DNA.'
'But that can't be!'
'Believe me it's true!'
'Where's Debra?'
'Right, where you left her, nine years ago. I haven't seen her since we were 15, all I know is that she became a nun.'
'And what about Nikki then, I've seen her file and yours too, you changed a few things, didn't you?'
'That's right, to make the first plan work that you messed up.'
'Where is Nikki?'
'She's right here. Nikki!'
Nikki appeared.
'You neatly broke her arm, just look at her arm, MacGyver, you can see the bone, the point were it broke off.'
'Swell, she deserved it although it wasn't my intention to brake her arm. Nikki, I'm sorry.'
'Too late for apologies. Shoot him Deborah.'
'Wait! There's one more thing, he should knows.'
'What's that?'
'Nikki and I…' she looked at Nikki, 'let me show it to you.'
She grabbed Nikki and kissed her full on the lips.
'We're lesbians. Sisters but lesbian sisters,' she said licking Nikki's face.
This was going way farther then MacGyver's imagination.
'All right, this has gone far enough. I'm not going to let you kill me because I'm outta here.'
MacGyver turned around and ran back in the building.
'Shoot him, kill him!' Nikki screamed.
(Suspeful music comes up here again)
Both girls went after him. MacGyver may have been popular with the girls in his high school days and during college but never like this time. Okay, he had to run back then too but that was for different reasons, his life didn't depended on him in those days. He ran and ran through the halls and suddenly he bumped into Murdoc. They got him. Murdoc was on his left, Nikki and Deborah on his right.
'Oh, shit.'
(Bullettime here)
He saw two guns aimed at him, then it happened like in slow motion, that two bullets were coming at him, so he just ducked to dodge the bullets. Unfortunately for Nikki the bullet that Murdoc fired hit her right in her broken arm. She screamed of course in pain. The bullet that Deborah fired missed not only MacGyver but also Murdoc.
'Murdoc, you hit me, you asshole. Learn how to shoot, goddammit my arm, my fucking arm.'
Now it was time for MacGyver to get out of there as soon as possible. He hits Murdoc in the face when it was time to get out of there. He ran away out of the compound. He ran back to his car.
Not so far from there the soldier which he pushed in the pit early that day got out of it and followed the gas leak back to the compound. The gas leak was incredibly long and got this idea. A very hot idea. He struck on a match and threw it in the gas leak that dripped from MacGyver's car. It caught fire, it immediately spread out and a whole entire area of the jungle caught fire. The fire crawled its way into the trees and followed the trail to the compound; it also passed by the Phoenix-lab. The soldier followed the trail of fire to the compound but only to meet Sam Malloy eye to eye. Sam's face was still filled with blood. The soldier was startled when he saw his face.
'Making a barbecue?' he asked sarcastic.
The soldier took his rifle ready to aim at Sam and a shot was followed. MacGyver stood upon the hill watching at that scenery.
'Sam!'
Sam wasn't hit, but Sally was, she was shot in her stomach. Sam ran into the soldier's body tackling him down and started to punch him in the face. One punch, two punches, three punches, four punches. The soldier planted his foot in Sam's chest and threw him over himself. The soldier got up and kicked him the face. Sam rolled over the ground and another kick followed. While the soldier kept Sam kicking all over the place, Murphy ran to Sally.
'Sally, are you okay, girl?'
'No, I'm not, I'm shot.'
'Come with me, I know a place safe.'
'A safe place out here? This is becoming a war zone.'
'Don't nitpick, young lady, Maria and Penny are there too.'
'Then get me the hell out of here.'
Murphy got Sally out of there when Sam got kicked again against his chest and in the face, when another kick was about the succeed he grabbed the leg and stabbed his Rambo knife in the middle of it from the under side, the knife's blade pressed through the kneecap. The soldier screamed of pain. He looked at the top of the blade through his knee, when Sam's fist got soaked from the blood. He took the knife out of his leg and sliced Sam in the face making another bloody cut on his face. Sam slugged the man with his left fist, followed by a right hand. The soldier fell; Sam kicked the man against the ribs, breaking a few of them.
'That's how it feels to get kicked all the time.'
Sam kicked the man again, this time in the face and kicked real hard. Hard enough to hear his jaw break. The soldier got unconscious. Sam took the knife back and was doubting if he would kill the man or not. He broke his jaw and with that knee he would probably never walk again. Sam already killed Zito; he took away a human life while actually the killing has got to stop. It has got to stop. Would he dare to take another one? What would his father say? Why does that matter this time if it didn't last time? Sam went back to soldier to turn him around on his back. Would Sam kill an unconscious man? After all, he kinda challenged him for nothing. However a fire wave that's closing in isn't really nothing and it's leading to MacGyver's car.
'Sam, let him be, the man is unconscious. You beat him up real good, come here,' Sally begged.
Sam got up and walked back to Sally but that's when the soldier got back up. Sally screamed when she saw the man got up and was running towards Sam. Sam looked behind him, startled.
'Whoa! Shit!'
He was still holding the knife, when the man grabbed Sam; the knife got caught in the man's chest, killing him instantly. Both men fell on the ground. The knife was sticking out of the man's back.
'Oh, shit, that's the second time today, I killed somebody. Twice in the groin and twice a human life has been taken away by my doing.'
'Don't take it so hard on yourself, this was an accident.'
'Oh, yeah right. The jungle isn't a good place for me.'
'Don't say that but I indeed also want to be somewhere else.'
'That is a good place to go to.'
'What is?'
'Going to somewhere else.'
(Music fades away here again)
MacGyver saw what happened and was willing to go back but some sort of smell attracted the attention of his nose. He looked behind him and saw black smoke in the distance closing in on him.
'What the hell is that, what's going on down there? Why is that closing in on me?'
The smell of fire came to his nose.
'That smells like fire to me.'
He looked at the ground and saw an oil leak coming from underneath his car.
'My god! A gas leak and it's coming from out the jungle.'
(The MacGyver theme song from season 5 start playing here)
MacGyver started to freak out and got in his car. He looked in the mirror and saw the fire wave closing in, and then he got an idea. It was a mad idea but still an idea. He started the car engine and drove at the top speed of it over the big hill, his car flying through the air. (Here you could here the part of it where MacGyver's name appear) With a bang he landed on its wheels safely. He drove to the compound and from a side door he drove through it with the leak going it. He was driving like a madman, circling around the compound making sharp turns and driving through the compound. (The theme song fades away and suspenseful music takes over) All the noise of course attracted the few people that were still there to the outside. Sam, Penny, Maria, Sally and Kate Murphy ran away from their hiding space and were standing now in front of the building.
'Dad!!'
Sam saw what destruction his dad was causing but MacGyver kept driving. Near the compound there was a shack with double doors and a glass roof. He drove through it, driving back into the compound. In the middle of the compound, he parked his car and saw the fire following the gas trail.
'Oh my god. Shit!'
MacGyver started to run out of the building when the fire gained the car. The fire started to burn harder and harder making the gas boil and then by the time MacGyver reached the door an explosion followed and not just any explosion, I'm talking about a big huge explosion, a real big bang. Before MacGyver could open the doors, he was blown through it, while the fired expanded itself. The flame went through the door making the people outside going backwards. MacGyver landed un-soft on his face, being covered by big pieces from the building. A shockwave went through the entire area of the jungle because of the explosion. Everywhere explosions were heard in storage rooms because of al the TNT that was stocked there also in the shack explosions where heard but explosions from a different order, they weren't powerful enough to destroy the shack only to cause a fire. By the time the explosions were over everybody was devastated of what MacGyver did, now the entire compound was from the inside out destroyed. The compound was now just on fire. Nikki and Deborah got out of there in time unfortunately. The roof was on fire but one of the soldiers was still up there and started to fire at them, of course he missed. Capt Kiley and Sgt. Blake appeared again, from out of the building, bleeding and wounded.
'Whoa, dad, nice going,' Sam mumbled.
'Look there are those two policemen!' Penny said pointing her finger at them.
'You right!' Murphy said. 'Hey, over here!' Murphy said waving her hand.
Kiley and Blake came out of the burning building.
'Hey!' Blake screamed.
Blake and Kiley walked slowly and hurt out of the door coming closer to Sam and the others. When they got outside a soldier from the roof started to shoot at them with a sniper rifle. Kiley was hit in the back of the head, while Murphy grabbed her own gun again and started to fire at the sniper, she shot half a clip empty but couldn't hit him. The sniper took down Blake too.
'Damn you!' Murphy screamed and fired again.
She hit him but he wasn't dead, down but not dead. She at least thought he was dead, until something was thrown down from the roof. It was a piece of armour of some sort, with a note on.
'Look!' Sally said.
Murphy picked up the note and read it.
'It says: Nice try but I'm not dead.'
Murphy looked back up at the roof but there was nobody there, Nikki and Deborah aiming guns at them drew her attention but she shot them first. Deborah first and then Nikki, they both died.
(The music fades away here)
'Now what?' Penny Parker wondered.
A long silence followed which Sam broke when he ran to his father, who still was covered by big pieces of the building laying on the ground unconscious.
'Dad? Dad?'
'Is he dead?' Penny asked.
'I better hope not,' Sam said, 'dad?'
'What? I'm not dead, just yet,' he answered.
'Thank god,' Maria said.
MacGyver got up, a little shaken on his legs and hugged Maria. He was completely all right, no damage anywhere, this guy was lucky.
'Is it over? What happened actually? Where are Blake and Kiley?' MacGyver wondered.
'Dad,' Sam started but didn't know where to begin.
'Look at your face, Sam, what happened with you? What have you done?'
'Dad, I think everybody is dead now. Zito is dead because of me, that soldier over there too. Murphy shot Deborah and Nikki and a sniper.'
'But I'm not certain that he really is dead because of this note,' Murphy stated.
'The sniper took out Kiley and Blake,' Sally said.
'Look, I think the best thing now for us to do is to take the people that didn't make it to the Phoenix-lab with a truck or a van or something. That means Jack, Kiley and Blake,' MacGyver said.
'What about Rhome?' Murphy asked.
'I'm sorry Murphy but there was not much left of Rhome when I last saw him. Jungle animals ate his carcass.'
'Oh, my god, MacGyver don't say such a thing.'
'I'm sorry Penny, but that's the way it is. I saw him when I crawled out of that pit and returned to the Phoenix-lab.'
'I think we should hold a minute of silence for them!' Sam said.
'Good idea, Sam,' MacGyver said.
A minute of silence was held.
'Oh, shit, damn! I just blew up my car.'
'Well, that took a long time for you to realize,' Sam said. 'Great way to break a silence, you know that, dad.'
'Damn, my favourite jeep.'
'It was your only jeep, dad.'
'And the only one of it's kind too.'
'Well, maybe you can fix him, you had him fixed when those men shot your car to bits and pieces, shortly after we met.'
'Bullet holes are different then burning wounds. A short silence for my jeep, thank you very much.'
Another short silence was held, but this only lasted 10 seconds.
'Dad, come on, four people are dead now and we can only take three bodies with us.'
'Well, more people are dead, but there were four on our side, I'll give ya that, but you're right, we gotta get out of here, right now.'
MacGyver, Sam and the others were making movements to the truck where Maria and Penny hided in until something dragged MacGyver's attention.
'MacGyver!!! Hey, MacGyver!!! I'm here, come and get me!' a voice said.
(Suspenseful music comes up again turning into something creepy)
'What the hell was that?' MacGyver looked behind him, looking for the voice that called him.
'I'm over here!'
MacGyver looked at the burning compound and… did he saw that well?
'Wait, everybody. I think it's Murdoc.'
'Murdoc?' Sam asked.
'Yeah, Murdoc, I think he's calling me. I'm going back in.'
'MacGyver, don't!' Maria begged. 'I've had enough of this, I wanna go home, to our place, you know, our good old houseboat at the Marina.'
'I wanna go home too Maria, but I also have had enough of this, is time to get this over with. He's been after me for 15 years, since the day I met Pete.'
'MacGyver, please do not go back in there, do it for me.'
'You know, she's right, dad.'
MacGyver felled uncomfortable about it until Murdoc's voice convinced him.
'Hey, MacGyver, I haven't got all day! Come out here and play.'
'I… I'm sorry, I'll be right back.'
Maria lost her patience.
'MacGyver! You told me every time you think when he's dead, he comes back. Let him go, so what if he's alive?'
'If he's alive, he will always come back to kill me, that's how he is. He'll never stop until I'm dead.'
'You wanna get yourself killed?'
'No.'
'Then stay here, honey, please.'
'Maria, if I stay there will be 99 chance that he may come back. I think the best thing for us and our baby is to fight it out.'
'Baby? What baby? Whose baby?' Sam wondered. 'Am I going to be an uncle?'
'No, you're becoming a stepbrother, your girlfriend however becomes an aunt.'
'Interesting!' Sally said.
'Maria, trust me! It's the best thing, for us and the baby.'
'Okay, then I'll be waiting for you here.'
'I'll be right back, in a flash of minute. Sam you drive out that truck where she hid herself in, so you can pick me up when I'm finished with Murdoc.'
'Okay, dad.'
Sam did what his father asked while MacGyver went back in the burning building.
'I'm here Murdoc, where are you?'
'I'm over here, MacGyver!'
MacGyver saw him ran away and went after him.
'Come on, Murdoc, let's get this over with!!'
'You are absolutely right, MacGyver, but not here!'
Murdoc was taunting him to make him come to the roof.
'What's the matter, MacGyver, can't you find your mammy?'
Murdoc laughed at the remark, while MacGyver kept following Murdoc's voice to find out where it came from.
'Let's fight it out for once and for all!'
'I completely agree, Murdoc!'
'If you wanna fight it out, come to the roof!'
MacGyver followed his way to the roof, covering his face from the heat of the fire. He couldn't believe he caused so much damage, oh well… he once blew up a nuclear facility, which was under control of an aggressive world leader. He only regretted the thing that he blew up his own car. But these things happens and it happened in case of emergency. MacGyver went the roof where he was waited by Murdoc.
(The music fades away)
'MacGyver, how nice of you to join me here on this fiery roof.'
'Cut the crap, Murdoc.'
'Well now, that's not nice of you saying something like that.'
'Come on, Murdoc.'
MacGyver's eyes darted in every direction searching for a possible trap that Murdoc set up. He couldn't believe it, nowhere a trap in sight; maybe he needed some glasses, but nowhere a trap in sight. 'We meet again and you've got to admit it, we've got you real good this time, right?'
'By kidnapping my wife and my friends? I call that low. The only time you had me real good was when you fired that rocket on me four years ago.'
'Yeah, those were some pretty rough days, huh?'
'So why this conspiracy?'
'A question, that has been asked an answered so many times before. The MacGyver-clan must be erased from this earth.'
'So must the Murdoc-clan.'
'The others had their reasons to kill you and I have mine.'
'So, let's hear it.'
'Since the very beginning you and Peter Thornton stood in my way.'
'I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time; Pete was assigned to you to hunt you down when he was working for the DXS. I just happen to be there.'
'So I decided to kill you too.'
'Don't forget that I was trying to help you.'
'You helped me saving my sister Ashton from HIT too and I gave you my thanks for that.'
'And it was more then just a little simple thank you.'
'You're right!'
MacGyver was getting bored.
'Murdoc, if this is one of your games, let's get on with it.'
'But this is not a game, this is something else.'
'I'm shocked!' MacGyver replied sarcastic.
(Tense music comes up)
'Do you remember this knife?' Murdoc asked when he took the knife and showed to him. MacGyver looked at it and he indeed recognized it.
'Yeah, that's the knife you used on that mountain. I made you to cut your own ropes.'
'Correct!'
'That's where Mike Forester fell after I rejected her when she explained her love for me,' MacGyver remembered sombre.
'I'm all tears.'
'What are you up to with that knife?'
'Cutting you in little pieces.'
'Yeah, right. Let's do it then tough guy, although I hate violence, it would be a pleasure to kick your ass.'
'Hehehe,' Murdoc laughed. 'Okay, then, here goes.'
(Music turns suspenseful again and into fighting music)
Both men took fighting stances and started to circle around each other. The fight MacGyver versus Murdoc was about to begin, there they go. Murdoc swung his knife to MacGyver's face which he easily dodged and kicked Murdoc in his stomach from the side and hits him in the face with his right fist. Murdoc went down but got up really angry, swinging his knife at MacGyver's face. Each time Murdoc swung his knife you could hear it whistle through the air. MacGyver placed a left hand in Murdoc's face, a right uppercut against the nose followed, making Murdoc fall backwards when blood flew through the air.
'You fuckhead!' Murdoc cursed him for making him bleeding his own blood. Murdoc tackled MacGyver and they started to roll over the ground, MacGyver had a firm grip on Murdoc's wrist to make sure he wouldn't cut him. He kneed him in the groin making Murdoc scream. MacGyver got up and kicked Murdoc in the face. Murdoc was mad with rage, because he still hadn't touched MacGyver.
'Come on, Murdoc.'
MacGyver taunted him, something he shouldn't have done because the knife struck MacGyver in the face right above his right eyebrow, and it was a bloody nasty bad cut.
'Argh! You got me, but I'm not out yet.'
'It won't take too long anymore.'
'Don't get your hopes up. It might take longer then you think.'
'Fuck you MacGyver!'
Murdoc kicked MacGyver in his chest sending MacGyver backwards rolling through fire but he was all right. Murdoc jumped over the fire onto MacGyver. Murdoc held MacGyver in a headlock with his arms and hits him in the face with his left hand several times. MacGyver tried to break free but now Murdoc had him and he placed more power on the headlock. MacGyver screamed to break free, but it wouldn't help so he took Murdoc's legs from behind and picked him up in the air to swing him around and to fall over. MacGyver broke free from the lock and crawled onto Murdoc to punch him in the face. He busted his nose, blood was everywhere. MacGyver's fist was red from the blood. Murdoc had still the knife in its hand and tried to make another slice in MacGyver's face but he failed. MacGyver grabbed the wrist again and with all his might, he smashed the arm back down. The arm got caught in a trail of fire burning Murdoc's flesh and skin of it.
'Ow, that burns.'
'I know.'
Murdoc struck MacGyver in the face with a blow and pushed him away. He let the knife go through the fire heating it up and attacked MacGyver with it.
'Whoa!'
MacGyver ducked but Murdoc pushed him against the wall and let the knife going down on his face making a burning sound and a red burning cut on the flesh of MacGyver's face. MacGyver screamed of pain.
'That hurts, doesn't it?' Murdoc said.
MacGyver head butts him on what was left of Murdoc's nose and punches him in the face again. Murdoc falls again but gets back up. MacGyver grabbed a burning piece of wood and smashed it in Murdoc's face, making the piece of wood crumble. MacGyver tried to hit Murdoc but he blocks the moves and punches MacGyver instead. MacGyver tried to hit Murdoc again with his left fist, Murdoc blocks again but only this time MacGyver was quick enough to use his other fist and punched Murdoc in the face again. Murdoc didn't feel much of it and hit MacGyver again. He grabbed MacGyver's clothes and threw him to the ground. MacGyver rolled over the ground trying to get up but Murdoc was faster and kicked MacGyver against his ribs and again and again. MacGyver fell something breaking inside; a few of his ribs must have been broken. Another kick hit MacGyver in the face, making him roller closer to the edge of the roof. The people down below looked up to see what was happening.
'Kick his ass, dad,' Sam yelled from below.
Another kick but MacGyver grabbed Murdoc leg and with his own leg he made Murdoc trip. He grabbed his head and smashed it against side of the balcony and again and again. Murdoc's head started to bleed. MacGyver punched him again and slug the knife out of his hand. It was MacGyver's turn now and to finish the fight. He punched Murdoc with his fists lefts and rights. He grabbed Murdoc by his hairs and punched him in the face real hard. He punched him in the eye so hard that it turned immediately completely black and that it got swollen up. Then for the finishing touch he gave Murdoc when last blow, to knock him unconscious. It was one of his famous blows, it was a hard one that both of the men fell down. MacGyver was out of breath. He slowly got up and went to the edge of the roof; he waved at the people below, to show that he's all right.
(The music becomes relieving)
'He's alright!' Maria said in relief.
MacGyver looked behind him, Murdoc was still there, maybe for once he could sue Murdoc, since he was the only one alive and stand trial for his actions. He would probably get the death penalty for what he's done. He turned back to look down, he shouldn't. He should go back down there to his wife and his son and his friends and go home where he belongs. (The music turns suspenseful again) Suddenly from behind him Murdoc got back up, damn it MacGyver didn't hit him hard enough. Murdoc had his knife back and came running at him. MacGyver couldn't react and felled how the knife went in his body. He got stabbed! This fucker actually stabbed him. The knife went deeper, his mouth filled with blood, the blood dripped out of his mouth. The knife went deeper again, but he wouldn't let this son of a bitch kill him like this. He pulled the knife out and took the item over then he stabbed Murdoc in his stomach and again and deeper. MacGyver's fist got soaked from the blood. Murdoc screamed of pain, it was an intense pain and his shirt got wet from his dark red blood.
'Take this, Murdoc. That's how it feels to have a knife in your body. You feel the blade in your insides? Is this how you killed all of your victims, on such an ordinary way? Or is it too ordinary for a mercenary with your reputation? Why can't you just die for once and for all? Die and rot now and stay dead forever.'
MacGyver took the knife out of it and stabbed Murdoc once more. Murdoc fell on the floor again motionless. MacGyver's hand was shaking when he saw the knife and his hand blood-soaked. He realized what he has done… he took a human life, only this time he couldn't care after all it was just Murdoc. Well Murdoc or no Murdoc, it shouldn't have happened but it was too late now. He was sure of it that he killed Jack Dalton with that sniper, he was also sure of it that Murdoc killed Kiley and Blake. Now Murdoc was dead too by his doing. He tossed the knife away and went back to see where the other were, they were still down there but Murdoc still wasn't finished. He sneaked up at MacGyver and stabbed the knife in his upper right arm all the way through. MacGyver saw the bloody blade sticking out of his arm.
'AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
Murdoc wriggled everything up a bit and with all his strength, he yanked the knife to it's right, nearly cutting off MacGyver's arm. Now it was getting messy and bloody. A whole shower of blood sprayed out of his arm. Maria and Penny screamed when they saw what was happening to MacGyver. Sally and Kate Murphy were devastated.
Sam screamed.
'DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!
'Oh God!' MacGyver screamed of pain.
'You stood in the way of my love for Penny Parker.'
'When will you understand, that she doesn't love you?!'
MacGyver hits Murdoc again with his left fist.
'Take this, you bastard!'
MacGyver started to feel nauseas because of the blood loss. Murdoc rolled through the fire and lay down again but wasn't out. MacGyver thought he was but he wasn't. When MacGyver looked one last time over the balcony Murdoc got up again. MacGyver was making a turn to go back down but Murdoc stabbed MacGyver again in his back this time. He made MacGyver looking back over the balcony to his family and friends. Maria, Penny and Sam started to cry of what they saw happening to him.
'No, dad! Don't let him kill you!' Sam screamed.
'Please no,' Maria whispered.
MacGyver pushed Murdoc weakly away. Murdoc wasn't that strong anymore either. MacGyver's breathing became heavier when he took the knife out, blood gushed out of the wound. MacGyver used that knife again on Murdoc. He stabbed Murdoc in his face again, right above his left eye corner. MacGyver did the same move with Murdoc as Murdoc did with him and his arm. The knife was underneath the skin and MacGyver yanked also making the piece of skin flying away, revealing a lot of blood. The blood ran in Murdoc's eye. He had to keep the eye closed but was still able to see a little through his swollen eye. MacGyver smashed the knife against the ground that bounced up and down little. He took Murdoc by his bloody collar and punched one last time with his right fist. Murdoc got up again; not willing to give up easily, he grabbed the knife and attacked MacGyver again. MacGyver was falling backwards to the right side of the roof while Murdoc kept pushing. MacGyver saw the edge coming closer to him.
'Oh no! Shit!'
Murdoc pushed him over the balcony but MacGyver pulled him with him to his death. If he was going to die, then Murdoc had to die with him. Both men fell through the air. Penny screamed when she saw this happening, Maria cried out loud and Sam yelled.
'NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!'
Sally and Kate Murphy's eyes went bigger of astonishing.
MacGyver and Murdoc fell to their deaths.
'MMMMMUUUUURRRRRDDDDDOOOOOCCCCC!!!!!!!!'
'MACGYVVVVEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!'
They fell through the glass roof of the shack where MacGyver drove through earlier. An explosion followed from TNT that didn't explode before. (The music changes into the music from the last scene of Humanity and then fades out) MacGyver and Murdoc lay both motionless next to each other with a trail of fire between them, both men were still alive but only barely. They were extremely lucky, to be alive. The people outside feared the worst but they couldn't see what was happening, because of that last explosion caused the entrance collapse. Murdoc was the first one to gain consciousness. He saw MacGyver lying besides him.
'Well, MacGyver, it looks like I'm winning after all.'
'Like I told you before, Murdoc, don't get your hopes up.' (Music comes up again)
'No! It can't be! You're still alive.'
'Surprised?'
'Well, maybe this will end it for you.'
'Maybe it ends for the both of us here.'
Murdoc took a grenade from out of his pocket and pulled the pin out of it.
'Goodbye, MacGyver!'
Murdoc putted the grenade in MacGyver's hand and ran away into the burning building. It wouldn't last long for the final explosion. MacGyver realized what he had in his hands. He got up with lots of pain in his body; he knew what he had to do.
'Mother and Maria please forgive me for what I'm going to do,' he whispered in himself.
'MURDOC!!!'
Murdoc was just stupid enough to look behind him and to see that MacGyver threw the grenade towards him with his nearly severed arm.
'NO!!!'
Murdoc caught the grenade with his hand but lets it go and it falls right besides him there it exploded. Murdoc was blown away. The fire of the explosion extended itself. MacGyver tried to get away out of the shack but the entrance was collapsed. There was no way out for him. The explosion against the collapsed entrance also blew MacGyver away. (Music from the last scene of Good Knight MacGyver part 2 comes up here) He led himself slide down against the collapsed entrance on his behind. He had a dead empty look on his face, his eyes were open. His entire body became heavy; he let himself falling down slowly onto his side. His head touched the ground with a gentle thump; his right arm lies before him. He closed his eyes and died, his soul was no longer inside his body. (The music fades away here) Outside it became eerie silent again, the last two explosions echoes through the jungle. All of them: Sam, Sally, Maria, Kate Murphy and Penny Parker putted their heads down in defeat, they knew MacGyver was dead, nobody survives two explosions not even MacGyver. Sam, Maria and Penny were all tears. A long silent group hug followed. Sam collapsed on his knees barely keeping a hold on himself. He rubbed in his eyes, rubbing also some blood away.
'It's ok, you can cry if you want to, honey,' Sally said.
Sam cried and took a hold of Sally while Penny hugged Maria. Murphy just stood there in defeat; her four best friends were dead. MacGyver, Rhome, Kiley and Blake, all gone. They all stood there at least for fifteen minutes in mourning saying nothing, watching at the burning compound, remembering MacGyver.
'Sam, I'm sorry,' Sally said. 'If there's anything I can do…'
Sam got up from the ground, regaining his senses.
'I only knew him for three years.'
Sally hugged him again until Sam released himself softly from her.
'I'm going to look for his body, if there still is a body,' Sam said.
'Yeah, you do that, honey,' Sally replied.
'Then we can at least have a funeral,' Maria said.
They all agreed to look for MacGyver's body; with Sam in front of the group they all went to the collapsed shack.
'The entrance is collapsed,' Sam said.
'Maybe there's another way in,' Sally said, 'through the main entrance or something.'
'Stay here, I'm going in alone!'
'But Sam…'
'Stay here Sally, please.'
'If you ask it so nicely.'
Sam went in the burning compound. He saw MacGyver's burning car in the middle of the compound. Near by he saw Murdoc's body.
'Oh, you're dead too. Good!' he said. 'Now stay dead.'
Sam kept looking for his father and saw him lying in the shack.
'Oh, my god, dad.'
Sam ran to him.
'Dad!'
MacGyver looked awful, blood on his face, broken ribs and a nearly severed arm, well Sam didn't look good either.
'I'm sorry, dad.'
Sam dragged MacGyver's body to the truck along with Murdoc's body. Kiley's, Blake's and Jack Dalton's bodies followed. With Sam at the steering wheel they left the burning compound to what it was. The ride back was silent, nobody said a word, well that's no miracle. The Phoenix-Foundation just lost the best man they had in their lists of agents. Sam's eyes never lost the jungle's path, his mind was somewhere else. He remembered all the things he's been through with his father, all their adventures together, moving back to the houseboat and all. He increased his hold of the steering wheel, that his fists became white. They drove back to the Phoenix-lab. Sam parked the truck in front of the lab. The trail of fire was extinguished in front of the lab, people were still there cleaning up the mess and repairing the damage the fire made. They all got out of the truck with the exception of the bodies. They entered the lab when Mary-Ruth approached them.
'Sam?' she asked looking at his bloody face. 'What happened?'
'Um… my father is dead.'
'What? How?'
'He and Murdoc were fighting on the roof and they both felled of the roof, through a glass roof of a shack and two explosions followed.'
'Oh, my god, Sam. I'm so sorry.'
'How are we going to tell Pete about this?'
'You want me to talk to him?'
'No, never you mind about that, I'll talk to him, just make sure all the rest is okay. Is he in his office?'
'Yeah! Go right ahead.'
Sam went to Pete's office while Mary-Ruth took care of the girls. Sam knocked on Pete's office door.
'Come in!' Pete said.
'Pete?'
'Sam?'
'Yeah, it's me.'
'You're back?'
'That's right.'
'So, where's MacGyver?'
'My father is dead.'
'I must be deaf and blind. What did you say, is MacGyver deaf?'
'MacGyver is dead! Dead as in no more alive, not among the living.'
Pete took off his dark glasses and lays his face in his hands.
'Oh my god.'
'That's what everybody says lately.'
'How come?'
'As you might have think of it Murdoc was at it again.'
'Murdoc killed him?'
'No, but he was darn good close to it. Murdoc pushed him of the roof and MacGyver pulled him with him. They fell in a shack and two explosions followed.'
'Is Murdoc dead too? Did you find the body?'
'Yes, he's dead too and we have found the body.'
'Good! Get rid of it, right now! Burn it for all I care.'
'Got it, then I wanna get out of here, with my father's body and all the rest of them. We'll need a new airplane.'
'Why?'
'Jack Dalton is dead too, just like Nikki, Blake, Kiley and most of the bad guys.'
'Five people are dead?'
'Yeah, but Nikki was working undercover for them.'
'What?'
'It was just like they said. One big conspiracy on the MacGyver-clan.'
'And they succeeded.'
'Well not entirely, but they got their main target.'
'Target MacGyver.'
'Right.'
'What do you mean by not entirely?'
'Maria appears to be pregnant. We'll have a MacGyver junior on the way.'
'That's terrific, but doesn't take away the fact that MacGyver is dead.'
'I know what you mean. You want me to take you to everybody else?'
'Yeah.'
'They're at the medical institute, let me take you there.'
Sam took Pete with him to the medical institute, to make sure for him to know that everybody is all right.
'I'm going to dispose, Murdoc's body,' Sam said.
'What?' Sally asked.
'I told him to,' Pete said. 'This man tried time and time again to kill MacGyver and me. Apparently he had success this time.'
'Besides the fact that they fell and two explosions followed doesn't mean Murdoc succeeded in killing MacGyver. MacGyver gave his life to save ours and the way I see it, it were the two explosions that killed him and not Murdoc,' Murphy said.
'Well said,' Penny said softly. 'I think he should have a beautiful funeral, just like his wedding.'
'I have something to mention about the funeral,' Maria said.
'What is it?' Sam asked.
'I don't want him buried during my pregnancy.'
'What?'
'I want him buried after the birth.'
'That's somewhat different, if you don't mind my saying,' Pete said.
'Do you think you can arrange that, Peter?'
'I can ask the Phoenix board to freeze the body in and keep him in our coolers for a time.'
'A time? I want nine months, ten months tops.'
'I don't know, Maria.'
'Nine months, Peter! I don't want anybody to get close to his body except for you, Sam and me. His body must be well guarded by the best guards of the Foundation.'
'Got it. OK, Maria, you'll get what you want. I'll make sure everything happens as you wishes. What about the other deaths?'
'My department will make sure that Capt. Kiley and Sgt. Blake get a funeral.'
'And Lt. Rhome?'
'There's not much of a body left to bury, the jungle animals ate his carcass.'
'What about Jack?' Penny asked in tears.
'We'll keep his body with MacGyver's,' Pete said, 'and buries him the day we'll bury MacGyver. I'm going to book a flight or a charter, so all of you can go home.'
'First I'll have a little job to do,' Sam said and left the nurses office.
(Slow tense music comes up here)
Sam went outside and took Murdoc's body out of the truck and took a gasoline tank from the lab with him. He dragged the body into the jungle and dropped it with a smash on the ground. Now he was mad.
'You son of a bitch, you killed my father, didn't you?'
He kicked the body.
'How many times you tried? Six, seven times?'
He kicked the body again.
'You little piece of shit. You probably never had a father, huh? It's a good thing that he pulled you with him, when he died. I hope you rot in hell, with all those other bastards and bitches.'
Sam emptied the gasoline tank over Murdoc's body.
'I'm sure Zito is waiting for you in hell.'
Sam struck a match on and threw on the gas soaked body. Murdoc's body caught flames.
'I'm going to make sure that you'll burn until you're black dust!'
He spits on Murdoc.
'Burn you motherfucker.'
By the time Murdoc was all burned, Sam felled relieved again but not entirely however. Murdoc's body was gone, completely burned up; there wasn't even a skeleton, just black ash. Sam stared at it for a long time. Murdoc would never come back again; he would only suffer tortures in hell forever. Sam sighed, turned around and walked away. Going back to where he should be. To his girlfriend Sally.
(A pianolike MacGyver-Harry theme song comes up here)
MacGyver's soul has left his body but it was still lying on the ground against the collapsed shack entrance at the burning compound. MacGyver moved a little and opened his eyes. A white shine was shining on him. He looked right into it. It looked so peacefully and it was. It really was so peacefully. MacGyver touched his face and looked at his arm. His injuries were gone. He thought he was in some sort of hospital, but it was all he could do, you know, thinking. He couldn't move a lot only a little, just thinking and looking at the bright white light. He had this strange feeling that he's been there before, only this time there was no way of getting back. His feeling started to make more sense. When he was in that coma of his about five years ago. It was exactly the same but still also very different. He could move a little more now and the shack burned all the way down to the ground and now he was lying on an open spot. The white shine became larger and he became more interested in the light. For a moment there he could've sworn something was coming right at him. It was true, something was coming right at him but it was still very far away, it looked like a black dot on a white piece of paper, that became bigger and bigger. Whatever it was it floated through the air and was making a landing. You know the closer it came, the more MacGyver recognized it. It was like an angel coming down from the heavens. While it was coming closer, MacGyver fell so much love, acceptance and warmth coming to him. He was going to a place, where worries were out of the question and he's been there before only last time the angel wasn't there but this time it was. MacGyver knew his time had come; he kept looking at the angel that came nearer to him. The white shine has taken over the entire area where the compound stood. White mist appeared and the flames of the fire were doused when the angel set foot upon earth. It was a beautiful angel, wearing white shoes with straps on and a white dress with spaghetti straps, long blond hairs, intense blue eyes, white teeth and a big warm loving charming smile. This angel was his guardian angel and had the name Katherine Malloy but she prefers the name Kate. She let herself go down on her knees and sat by MacGyver. They looked at each other.
'Hello, MacGyver,' she said friendly. 'It's time for you to come.'
'Kate!?'
'That's right, honey. I'm your guardian angel.'
'What? Why?'
'Since I got shot by that Chinese, I've been watching over you, to make sure you were alright.'
'I am all right now. Why am I dead?'
'Because… well, you can't change the rules up there.'
'I can't go back, can I?'
'I'm sorry, baby.'
'What about Sam?'
'Sam will be all right; he's going to return home soon with his girlfriend and your wife. You are going home too.'
'Are all my friends going to be all right? I mean at least the ones that are still alive.'
'That's up to the big man up there. Let me get you up.'
Kate helped MacGyver getting up.
'So this time I'm really dead?'
'You're dead for sure, I'm sorry.'
'But I'm still so young, okay I'm forty-five but to hell with that.'
'You have been through a lot during your life and falling of a roof through a glass roof into a shack followed by two explosions, could no one survive, not even you.'
'What about Murdoc?'
'Murdoc is finally where he belongs.'
'Where's that?'
'In hell of course you silly.'
'I couldn't have survived this but I could've survive that fall from three storages up to a top of a car, five years ago, huh?' MacGyver asked suspicious.
'MacGyver, that was different. There weren't explosions, you nearly got killed by the poison they shot in your I.V.'
'I survived my own death then without getting an antidote. What and why is it so different, this time?'
'Everything is so different this time because you nearly fought yourself to death with Murdoc. Even if they would've tried to revive you, they couldn't because of your blood loss. You actually bled to death and the explosion was actually also part of it.'
'And what if they replaced my blood with someone else's blood?'
Kate didn't know the answer on that question.
'Good question actually. Are you willing to go back?'
'Well, I probably can't anymore. They wouldn't have thought of it to change my blood, if that was ever possible.'
'What if they did?'
'I would have gone back for Sam and Maria and Pete but now I can't anymore.'
'By the way MacGyver, here are also important people which means a lot to you.'
'Among the living there are also important people which means a lot to me.'
'SHH!!' Kate hugged him.
(Sad music comes up here)
'I know that sweetie,' she said on a whispering tone. 'Don't worry; everything is going to be just fine. You're okay now, you're safe.'
'I don't care!'
'Yes you do care! You're glad you are safe and that your family is safe. You gave your life to save theirs, that's so typical you. It runs in the family. I'm here if you wanna talk, your grandpa Harry is here too and your mother and your father. Your grandmother is here too.'
'What about Jack?'
'Jack Dalton is right here too. I mean right up there.'
'Who's going to look out for Penny?'
'Sam can handle the job.'
'So this time it's for real?'
'I'm afraid so, honey.'
MacGyver looked around one more time at the earth.
'Can we make a detour on our way to heaven?'
'Sure. Where to?'
'To my houseboat again, I wanna see that place one more time, after all that's where I used to live.'
'Okay, then ready?'
'Yep!'
'Here goes!'
Kate snapped her fingers and in a flash they were at the Marina.
'That was fast!'
'When you're an angel…' Kate said modestly. 'What do you wanna do here, anyway?'
'Like I said, seeing the place were I spend several years of my life.'
'You've been through a lot when you lived in that house, huh?'
'I nearly got killed there once by Deborah, I almost lived there with her. I lived here with Maria. Yes, this place means a lot to me. This is where Jack used the bother me the most to get him out of his troubles. He got us in I got us out.'
'That's what you were good at. Getting people out of trouble when you got in them.'
MacGyver smiled. (The music fades away again)
'You ever saw the interior of it?'
'Of what?'
'Of the houseboat.'
'Ah, uh, no.'
'I'll show you around.'
MacGyver took Kate with him inside his houseboat.
'So this is it.'
'It looks nice. It's beautiful and it's so you.'
'What do you mean by that?'
'This is a typical MacGyver's residence.'
'Well, it's not much. Living room, kitchen, dining table, bedroom.'
'And an old western collection.'
'Yeah.'
Kate looked around and noticed MacGyver's hockey shirt.
'Hey, your hockey shirt.'
'I played a lot of hockey games in that shirt. That shirt is as special to me as my SAK is.'
Kate smiled.
'Is it?'
'Yeah, I even had my own mug made, completely black with my name on in red and gold among the letters and a explosion at the background.'
'Wow!'
'You know each time I scored during a hockey game; my name would appear on a black screen just like it was on the mug. Red and gold among the letters, the explosion and some guy had some great music from an old 80's TV-show.'
'That's great.'
'They cancelled it in 1992 but somewhat later, about a year later it got two TV-movies.'
'That's great too, but MacGyver, honey, we gotta go. They're expecting us up there.'
'I see. It's just a shame that I can never speak to my friends again. Not to Pete, not to Sam.'
'You'll be able to speak to them from as soon as they're dead.'
'How long might that take?'
'That's up the big boss. We've to go right now.'
'I understand.'
(A slow MacGyver theme song comes up here)
'You know? Heaven's not so bad, neither is death.'
'I know, my grandpa once taught me that death is not so scary, it's just another step along the way.'
'Now that's a good attitude. When you were in that coma, you grandpa went to heaven with a ship, called the Osiris. They brought him to his actual home, because heaven is an exact copy of what you have here.'
'It is?'
'You sure ya betcha,' Kate said happily.
'You can have your houseboat back at the Marina in heaven.'
MacGyver was surprised to hear that.
'And when I saw you blowing up your car, I knew there was a Jeep waiting for you in heaven.'
'That's great, so what the hell have I got lose down here, then?'
'Nothing. Your friends will be okay and you will see them again, you've got my word of honour on that matter.'
'Then I think, it's for time me to come along with you. My task here is done.'
'That's right.'
MacGyver and Kate hugged each other for a long time, then she took MacGyver's hand and he followed her when she leaded his way to his final resting place in heaven. A white bright light appeared outside MacGyver's houseboat and they both went into the bright white lights. MacGyver's life as he knew it was over, forever.
