EAST BERLIN

East Berlin

On a mission to East Berlin, MacGyver acquired a small camera containing highly sensitive encoded microfilm. In order to make his way out of East Berlin, MacGyver orchestrated an escape in which he hid in a coffin that was delivered to a bridge where "mourners" waited to take possession of it. When the plan was discovered, the mourners rushed to toss the coffin off the bridge into the water, and MacGyver triggered a release that converted the specially designed coffin into a jet ski, allowing him to make his escape by water.

Anxious to prevent the microfilm from reaching American intelligence, the Tribunal, a shady organization with ties to East Germany, authorized Quayle, a foreign agent whom MacGyver had encountered once before, to eliminate MacGyver and to recover and destroy the microfilm.
