LEGEND OF THE HOLY ROSE II
Episode 5-02 [085]
25 September 1989
MacGyver escapes the ax by ingenuity and the help of a cleaning lady. Professor Wycliff also arrives in London, and MacGyver follows him to Von Leer's estate, where Zoe is locked in the tower. He rigs a grappling hook and climbs into her window. They escape to the roof, and he goes down the chimney. He sneaks into the main room, where Wycliff is deciphering Ambrose's writings, and is caught gathering up the artifacts in his bag. Hiding in a hall fireplace he climbs back up to the roof, but Von Leer's assistant Eunice has discovered their escape. Zoe knocks her out, and they climb down to the garden, run through the bushes, and get away safely. A few miles away they charter a plane to cross the English Channel to Cherborg. Following Ambrose's instructions they find the flower of the goddess and, together with the mirror, scepters, and sunlight, the focus of energy becomes a lazer that blows open the door into a cave. Within is the miniature Temple of the Holy Rose enclosing the grail, a chalice filled with red earth. Von Leer and Shiva Luca come in, taking the grail from them at gunpoint. In a confrontation between the two, Shiva Luca is killed. MacGyver and Zoe exit the cave, and a shaft of sunlight again strikes the doorway, where Von Leer is standing. The explosion within the cave kills him and apparently destroys the temple. MacGyver gathers up the artifacts in his backpack, and they depart.
Zoe: You could have been killed!
MacGyver: I never thought I'd owe my life to a traditional English breakfast.
