Episode 67 of "MacGyver"
s04e03 The Outsiders

MacGyver, while on his way to vacation, blows a tire on his jeep and heads off a bridge several feet from the surface. Two children, one the daughter of a construction foreman, and the other an Amish boy whose family is to be removed from his land due to the construction project (potential enemies, but friends nonetheless) rush to MacGyver's aid. The Amish boy manages to get MacGyver back to the land of his people, where he is cared for. The Amish also manage to exavate MacGyver's jeep from the wreckage and bring it back as well. However, MacGyver soon finds himself in the middle of a bitter disagreement between the Amish, who refuse to leave their land, and the construction company, who is authorized by the government to clear the land for a new highway interchange. An overzealous member of the construction team is so frustrated by the lack of Amish compliance that he dynamites the well the Amish have built on the land in question. The event lands him in jail, but does not change the orders the construction team has to fulfill. The deadline for the Amish to leave passes and the state police are called in to disperse the Amish. Figuring the Amish will eventually withdraw, the foreman orders his team to begin by going around the back to begin the clearing process. However, before the machines move to far, Christy, the daughter of the foreman, runs in front of the bulldozer, refusing to see her best friend Jacob (the Amish boy) and his family driven from their home. Shortly after, Christy falls into the well shaft after the ground, which had been disrupted by the dynamite, collapses, trapping Christy in the well, thirty feet from the surface. The construction company and the Amish now must put aside their differences to rescue the young girl, if she is to survive. Can the two of them, with MacGyver's assistance, rescue Christy before it is too late...?
