SECOND CHANCE
Episode 5-05 [088]
16 October 1989
In Bangkok, Thailand, a shipment of medical supplies including a new dialysis machine arrives for the Phoenix Clinic headed by Dr. Triwai. MacGyver has located Wanda Tran, a woman Jesse Colton loved many years ago in Saigon. Wanda dies just hours before Jesse gets there, but he learns that he has a 15-year-old son, Willie. Willie hates him and steals his wallet to buy a headstone for his mother's grave. Blackmarketeer Frank Skinner offers him $500 for access to the Clinic supply room, and his gang steals everything. MacGyver and Jesse return from negotiating visas, realize the theft was an inside job and blame Willie, who flees. They find Skinner at a boxing match, and a brawl breaks out when they are recognized. Jesse jumps onto the truck as they leave, but back at their warehouse he is knocked out. MacGyver and Willie follow, but Willie is spotted, so MacGyver gives himself up, and they are locked in the supply room. Using a peashooter MacGyver hits the guard with a tranquilizer dart, and burning chloroform busts the lock. The thieves are taken, and the machine is returned. Visas come through for the emergency Amerasian patients and Willie.
Suzie: MacGyver, am I going to die now?
MacGyver: No, baby, you're not going to die.
Suzie: You think if you lie, I'll feel better?
MacGyver: No. I think I'm going to find that machine...
