[voice-over narration] When I was a little kid, I used to think ships were like magic. Sailing in from strange places carrying mysterious cargo. This ship was from the People's Republic of China and the cargo was kinda special. A single treasure, literally beyond price. It'd been on display during the voyage and its security had been the responsibility of the Chinese government. Now, it was going to be ours; Pete Thornton's and mine.

Chu. I mean Commissioner Chu.
CChu
Don't be inscrutable with me, Peter. It's good to see you again.
What's it gonna take? What's the price?
You know what trade I deal in. What could you possibly offer me? I know you won't betray your country's security.
You got that straight.
I like you, MacGyver, but I can't let them go. As for glasnost, I don't agree with the current Soviet administration, this new openness. Weak. Foolish. Impractical.
And you think killing three people is more practical. That's amazing.
LLisa
My husband's name is… Nicholai Kossov.
Kossov? Major Nicholai Kossov? I know him. I escaped from him in Hungary.
Maybe she's alive.
No. I saw her die... I killed her.
Since when are you a magician?
When? I have studied at the feet of Hindu mystics! Climbed the hidden mountains of Tibet to learn the lost secrets of that unknown kingdom. I have delved into…
… a magic course he got selling magazines in the tenth grade.
Excuse me. This is a closed rehearsal.
Oh, like the time you tried to pull a silk scarf out of the principal's ear and got his toupée instead?
LLisa
I was ordered to attract you, yes. It was my job. But you must know, MacGyver. It was not all lies. There were real feelings, too.
I wish I could believe that.
Jack, doesn't this remind you of the time you were climbing through that Mayan pyramid full of snakes and spiders?
Did I tell you about that?
In great detail.
Well, actually, I didn't exactly participate in that crawl. But I saw the movie.
That's a comfort.
LLisa
You were both unbelievable.
Ah, shucks, ma'am, you're just saying that because it's true.
LLisa
There's a great deal I want to tell you.
Why bother?
LLisa
I will take care of MacGyver.
KKossov
Why?
Good question.
LLisa
In case you have forgotten, Major, we are not really married. This is my business.
But Nicholai attempted to escape. A fatal mistake.
Are you telling me he's dead?
Very.
Arnold Palmer's birthday. Pete's hero.
How in God's name can you know Arnold Palmer's birthday?!
Doesn't everyone?
