THE BLACK CORSAGE
Episode 5-03 [086]
2 October 1989
MacGyver provides protection for Sophia Ross, code name "Dolphin", who defected from Bulgaria after her father published papers defending democracy and mysteriously died. Frank Colton is hunting a stolen necklace: a black pearl set in blue and yellow diamonds. There is a $90,000 reward for its return. Sophia is walking her dog Frog near Expo Park when a man collapses at her feet, and before he dies, puts a piece of a map showing the necklace's location in the pocket of her dress. Terrified she calls the Phoenix Foundation, and MacGyver goes to meet her at Flo's Diner nearby. Deegan has patched into the phone line and arrives at the diner first. Sophia slips out the back door and hides in a fish cannery. MacGyver and Colton are close behind, but Deegan and March appear and take them all at gunpoint. MacGyver and Colton are tied to the conveyor belt and barely escape being chopped up as fish. Sophia is forced to give up the map. The techno-bandits go to the carousel at Expo Park, where Deegan turns on his partner March. MacGyver grabs the necklace and sets it as bait in the arcade so Deegan is easily trapped. Colton gets the reward and Frog as a bonus.
Waitress: Help ya, Handsome?
MacGyver: Yeah, I'm looking for a girl.
Waitress: Must be my lucky day.
MacGyver: Yeah...
