MacGyver

That's one of the dealers down there, man.

We got to get him out of there before the ether blows, bro.

Oh, my God!

Let's get out of here. Let's go.

Come on. Now!

- Up on the right, there, T.C. - Okay.

- T.C.? - Yeah.

This is right, this is left, okay?

Yeah. Okay, little bit more.

Dario, drop your end just a little bit, there, okay?

You want it higher? Great, great.

How's that?

Now start lifting it up. There you go.

A little higher. Oh, you got to drop your end, Dario.

Drop your end just a little bit. There you go.

A little bit more. A little bit more. Let go, let go.

Okay, now raise her up a little bit.

Looks perfect.

- Is that a MacGyver I see? - Manny!

- - How you doin'?

Great, great. It's good to see you.

You know, Cynthia had to step away for about an hour.

She asked if I'd show you around.

Yeah, but what are you doin' here?

I'm stoppin' crime before it gets started.

You are lookin' at their number-one volunteer.

Whenever I'm not on duty, I come down here and help out.

Yeah, but I thought you moved away to someplace like Nebraska

and bought a farm!

I did. Then I sold it, came back.

Chief reinstated me.

What can I say, I'm a city cop.

- Did you get your old beat back? - Yep.

And, thanks to Cynthia, and a fellow named R.T. Hines,

they've made my job a whole bunch easier.

Would you believe that they've tripled enrollment?

Well, looks like somebody's been busy.

That's why they need this Phoenix grant.

"Self-Esteem Life Force." It's our new program.

The man who runs it, Rutherford Hines, unbelievable.

Yeah, well, I'm looking forward to meetin' him.

So, how's Joan?

Well, Joan had to divorce me, old buddy.

- - She's in therapy.

- Sorry about that, man. - It's okay.

It's just old Manny the cop, my grandbaby...

Full-time nurse now.

Let's get you started.

But before we go in,

both Cynthia and I want you to keep an open mind about R.T. Hines.

I think I can manage that.

You are what you believe!

Let no one nowhere convince you that you are lacking!

It's up to you to make your life better!

You and no one else!

- Understand? Understood, sir!

- Understand? Understood, sir!

- I can't hear you! Understood, sir!

Give me ten!

One, two, three...

Some have left gangs.

Some have stopped using drugs.

Some get better grades.

He just pushes and pushes and pushes.

Try, try, try, try! Do you hear me?

Yes, sir!

Is that "Coco" Hubbard?

None other.

He stopped being the leader of the Rolling Thunder gang to come here.

This is our neighborhood! Ours!

And we can make it anything we want it to be!

Anything...

we believe with all our hearts!

- Do you hear me? Yes, sir!

Jumping jacks. 100! Do it!

You're lookin' at magic, MacGyver.

One, two, three, four...

Halt!

You're late, Angel!

Oh, I'm late.

Does that mean I have to scrub your mat for you?

Turn that music off.

Oh, no way, ese. This is a loco hit record.

You don't like it?

You've been drinking.

And we don't allow drugs or alcohol in here.

You got 10 seconds to get out, son.

How about 30 seconds, ese? Huh?

Give me 30 seconds, and we'll all get out of here!

Huh? What do you say?

- There, I scrubbed your mat for you. - All right, Angel, let's leave.

We'll have no disrespect in here, Angel. Do you understand me?

Do you?

Do you understand me?

Mr. Hines!

I think you made your point.

Now, you understand we cannot tolerate

any disrespect in here, Angel, don't you?

No more, "Yes, sir!"

"Understood, sir!"

I don't want to be nobody's soldier!

You understand?

All right, everybody.

Review today's lesson. Take a minute for meditation.

Hector, Coco, you scrub those mats.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

What's your name, tourist?

This is MacGyver, R.T.

Oh, so you're MacGyver. I want to talk to you.

Outside.

All right, kids. Let's take a break.

Let's go upstairs. Come on.

People I respect have said some pretty nice things about your, mister.

And I know you're here to figure out if we get some money.

I'm here to tell you I'm the first one that hopes we get some money.

But nobody interferes when I'm working with my kids.

Nobody undercuts my respect when I'm in a session.

Do you understand me?

What I understand

is that you were stickin' a kid's head in a bucket of water,

and nobody does that in front me.

You understand that?

Let me tell you somethin', tourist.

You're standing in the middle of a war zone.

Almost as many people die on these streets as there are days in a year.

I'm givin' these kids what they need to survive!

That may be your intention,

but what I saw up there bordered on abuse.

- It was appropriate! - It was excessive.

Look, look, I know the both of you.

And believe me, you both want the same thing.

I don't think so, Manny.

Mr. MacGyver is a tourist.

He ain't dirtying his hands in this war.

And you know what I think of tourists.

- Look, R.T., MacGyver is not a tourist... - Don't bother, Manny. Forget it.

Excuse me!

I'm going to find Angel.

I've no time for educating the educated.

Tough Boys.

Every time I turn around, it's Tough Boys.

What do you want to do?

What do I want to do?

Look at this!

They burned down eight of our buildings.

Last night somebody got killed.

People are getting nervous about doing business with us.

They're becoming heroes!

Songs on the radio. T-shirts.

I want them dead. Yesterday!

We've got to do somethin' about him.

Angel's losin' it, man.

He's gonna jam us all.

Hey, what you talkin' about, man?

Angel's gonna be all right.

He's lucky Hines didn't drown his butt, man.

This is it, man! This is our deal.

At the top of the news,

we have the eighth "Take back the neighborhood" crack-house burning

by the self-styled vigilante group who call themselves "The Tough Boys."

- Vigilantes? What's wrong with her? - Chill.

Sixteen were arrested at the location.

All believed to be crack-house customers and pushers.

But the big story is, for the first time,

there was a fatality.

Police believe that a 19-year-old crack dealer...

Oh, man, that's weak.

...was trapped inside the building.

Neighbors say there were shots...

Yeah, wh-what you need, cuz?

Nothin'. Just lookin' around.

Uh, hey, uh, come on, we better go finish up them mats, huh?
