DEEP COVER
Episode 5-17 [100]
26 February 1990
Nick Landix, a drug cartel spy, steals a prototype stealth submarine by seducing the main engineer, Dr. Gwen Carpenter. MacGyver goes undercover as Dexter, computer geek, to pump Nick's computer hacker Joe Banniker for information while he's stuck in jail. Since Nick can't activate the operations unit E.R.M.A., he seeks the help of Dexter, jailmate to Banniker. He also calls Gwen, claiming he's in big trouble and needs her help. When she arrives, she recognizes MacGyver and calls him by name, blowing his cover. Nick locks MacGyver in a test tank filling up with water, from which he escapes. Pete locates Nick's business address stamped on a pen left at Gwen's home and arrives in time to help MacGyver. Gwen has been taken to a boat, The Windward Isle, where she is ordered to demonstrate E.R.M.A. to the Colombian buyers. She confuses them by saying it still has a lot of bugs. Meanwhile, MacGyver gets onboard, and between the two of them all the men are overpowered.
Dexter: You bet, babycakes, I'd like to do that too. Listen, I gotta go. My ride's here. I love you too, creampuff... It's my steady girlfriend. We're in love.
