MacGyver

Previously on "MacGyver"...

Run. Run!

Who is this guy?

- Why does he want you dead? - His name is.

Nicholas Helman.

This is Officer Martinez.

I need to report a possible 207.

That's the man who trained me. He taught me everything I know.

The man was an artist of death,

someone that I greatly admired.

You think I'm bad?

Oh, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Come on, sing it, man.

Yeah!

*MacGyver* Season 03 Episode 18

*MacGyver* Episode Title: "Murdoc + Helman + Hit"

So, I know this place is first-rate

as far as conventional care goes.

However, I read about an experimental drug in China.

- Your knight, - bishop...

The way you're playing, there's just so many options.

There's also that top clinic in Berlin I told you about.

The wait list is long, but I made some calls, so...

You know who you should call? Bobby Fischer,

because this is turning into a massacre.

Are you even listening to me?

Not really. You should get your head in the game.

My head is exactly where it should be, Dad.

Focused on getting you

the best cancer treatment available.

I'm already getting the best treatment.

Yeah, well,

chemo's not without side effects.

And the results have been mixed.

That's not what I mean.

Oh.

As much as I love spending time with you, and I do,

we both know that it's not gonna save your life.

Matty needs me in the War Room.

Director Webber, perfect timing as usual.

I know.

Checkmate.

All right, let's go.

Uh, Dad, you need to rest.

I'll manage.

Besides, going to work takes my mind off things.

I really think you should stay.

I appreciate your opinion, son,

but I don't need your approval.

I'm your boss, remember, and next time you let me win,

try to be less obvious.

All right, listen up.

Last night a man was murdered

at a karaoke bar in San Francisco.

Currently police have no suspects, but

one patron did manage to capture this video on their cell phone.

- Hold on, is that...? - No, it's not possible.

Why is everyone shocked

that the silver fox can sing?

'Cause that's Nicholas Helman,

one of the world's most prolific killers for hire.

Old man's an assassin?

More like the best assassin. Long, very violent

story short,

the last time we saw Helman,

he was being zipped up into a body bag.

But today I had two agents

exhume his coffin, and it was empty.

Who was Helman's target?

The victim

was FBI interrogator Michael Evans.

His primary focus

was organized crime.

SFPD and FBI are working his murder.

But since Phoenix is responsible for Helman

still roaming the Earth,

it's on us to catch him.

I've already reached out to the FBI to get more information

on Special Agent Evans.

You know, it's possible

someone Evans was chasing hired Helman.

Helman gets his jobs from the Dark Web.

I could search around, try to see who

was retaining his services.

Get on it.

That means you three

tag along with me.

Cool, riding with the big man.

So where we going?

To speak to the one person who knows Helman better

than anyone else.

I'm guessing it's not his mom?

That's a big no.

Roll down your windows.

- Talk about remote. - Trust me,

the guy you're about to meet,

you want as far away from populated areas as possible.

The Moon would be too close.

Sir, follow me, please.

Okay, enough suspense.

What kind of monster you keeping down here?

Indominus Rex? King Kong?

That kid from The Omen?

The only prisoner kept here has a son.

And since field trips off-campus

aren't really an option, once a month

there's a supervised visit here.

When I heard I was getting visitors,

I didn't want to get my hopes up,

but here you are.

Wilt, always a pleasure.

A new Avenger.

Lovely.

I do hope that we can be friends.

Or not.

Could it be? The Mac Daddy himself?

Truly honored.

Whatever could be so important?

Helman is alive.

Good one, boy scout.

We both saw me shoot him.

Then the men came,

zipped him in a body bag, drove him off

to be buried in a hole.

And yet he never made it there.

You're serious.

Very.

That's a wrinkle.

We're here to get your help.

Putting him in the ground?

Finding him.

Boring.

Karaoke bars, dead bodies,

blah, blah, blah.

I'm just so happy

to finally meet the man who abandoned

my BFF.

How's the reconciliation going?

I'm sensing some tension. Anything we need to talk out?

You are not kidding about this one.

He is special.

The deeper you go, the darker it gets.

Mac's dad's no easy puzzle, either.

Guy's got the big "C" and he won't let it

slow him down, despite the toll it might take.

Yeah.

The man's a force of nature.

I meant on Mac.

Tell me, Papa Bear, why should I help you?

Because if you refuse, your visits with your son will stop.

And soon you'll become nothing but someone.

Cassian kind of remembers.

The irony of receiving that threat from you.

Wow.

But you're forgetting something.

Guys, I've been locked in a box.

How could I possibly know what Old Saint Nick's

been up to, hmm?

Well, he trained you.

Taught you everything that you know.

So, you can get into his head

and tell us how he operates.

It's like...

You know, I'm really short on patience these days.

You've got three seconds to say yes.

- Three... - Okay, okay, I'll help, I'll help.

All right? Gosh. Relax. Is he always this tense?

Got to learn to enjoy life more, Dad, okay?

Okay. Here we go.

Is this the only body that he's dropped?

That we know of.

Why? Because allowing himself to be captured on camera

wasn't a mistake.

It was a calculated risk.

Yeah. Yeah. I'll file the motions tomorrow.

Don't worry. I'm ready for trial.

Obviously, I don't know exactly what Helman's planning,

but whatever it is,

Helman is willing to risk

everything to finish what he started.

Murdoc was right.

Helman just committed another murder.

This time he killed a federal prosecutor.

Is there a connection between the prosecutor

and the FBI interrogator at the karaoke bar?

Yes. This gentleman.

His name is Alex Yee.

Not too long ago he was the number two shot caller

in a San Francisco gang

with strong ties

to a Hong Kong crime syndicate.

- And now? - The FBI flipped him.

He's scheduled to testify against his former colleagues

to the grand jury in less than a week.

Let me guess.
