MacGyver and the team attempt to rescue Sarah, Jack's former CIA partner, who went missing in Venezuela after obtaining evidence to take down an international arms dealer.

(bullets ricocheting)
any chance you
could smooth out that ride?
I'm trying.
(gunfire continues)
♪♪
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Take it easy, take it easy.
We still need some of that
go-go juice, brother.
(gunfire over speaker)
hey, guys, heads up.
(over radio): Your tail
invited guests to the party.
Jack: I take it a drone strike
is out of the question.
♪♪
thornton: Not unless you want
to start world war iii.
Jack: Never mind.
Gentlemen,
remember,
we need the asset alive.
You mean the asset
and us, right?
Mm. Don't get insecure
on me now, jack.

jack (whoops):
What happened?
Macgyver: I think
I just made them angrier.
♪♪
jack: You missed!
You want to trade places?
Jack:
Absolutely not.
Guys, dmz is just
around that corner.
It looks like
the border guards
know you're coming in hot.
♪♪
can you take out
the barricade?
With what? You only brought
one bag of fertilizer?
That was all they had. Oh, come on! You
got to get your a-game on, brother.
What is that
supposed to mean?
You...
(beeps)
we lost radio contact.
Get them back online.
You know exactly what it means.
I'm not thinking about her.
Ah, no, I beg to
differ, my man.
For the last two weeks,
nikki's been in your head.
Ever since she
escaped fbi custody,
you've been off.
And I got to be
honest with you,
if I'm gonna do my job,
I need my partner back.
I'm here. You just worry
about your driving.
(beeps)
we got 'em back.
Guys...
Is everything all right?
Not really.
Jack: We're not gonna make it
through those barricades.
♪♪
(gunfire continues)
what are you doing?
Improvising.
♪♪
hold on,
this is gonna suck!
It already sucks!
(gunfire continues)
(both yelling)
(soldier shouts in korean)
(speaks korean)
my name's angus macgyver.
I work with the u.S. Government.
You can call my embassy
to verify my identification.
Hi. I'm jack.
(loud banging,
muffled shouting in korean)
(muffled shouting)
jack:
Uh...
That there is python.
I-I'm sure
he has a real name,
but I honestly can't remember it
under the circumstances.
He's a cyber terrorist.
One of interpol's most wanted.
He tried to melt down
your nuclear reactors
a couple of months ago.
A-among other...
Pretty fun things.
(speaking korean)
♪♪
(grunting)
(muffled): No, no, no, no!
Don't hit me! Hey! Don't...
(gasps)
dude! Are you crazy?!
Bozer,
what are you doing?
What are you doing?
You said you'd play the general
in my movie!
I thought I'd show you
the prosthetic I made.
(panting)
your movie.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, I, uh...
Was having a bad dream.
A dream where you
almost kill your roommate?
Yeah, well,
I-I got in late last night.
This is really good.
Thanks, man.
I used my buddy chu
to make a gypsum mold,
then added a little slush latex,
which settled
into vulcanized rubber.
Way above your pay grade, bro.
Definitely.
(laughs) so, how was your
energy conference in cleveland?
You run into lebron?
You tell him about the
cameo I wrote for him?
Uneventful.
And, uh, no. Sorry.
Oh, riley.
You said it was okay
not to knock.
Should I come back later? Uh...
No, it's cool. I was
just showing my boy
a few jiu-jitsu moves.
He was on top.
We were taking turns
throwing down.
Hmm. Right.
Okay, well, I need to get out
of this costume-- 100% wool,
100% not breathable.
I'll be in my plush
master suite
if anyone needs me.
Actually...
I do need you.
Man:
Miss davis.
My name is mr. Green.
I will be
your parole officer
until the court deems
you are no longer
in need of my services.
Now, yours is
a very unique situation,
miss davis.
According to a federal ruling,
you will be
on conditional release,
working off the remainder
of your sentence
under the employ
of the phoenix foundation.
A think tank.
Now... How does
a hacker like you
get a deal like that?
Personally,
I'd like to believe
good things happen
to good people.
Well, I have a few questions.
Please answer truthfully,
all right?
Now, since your release,
have you traveled
outside the los angeles
city limits?
No, sir.
Can I assume that
since your arrest,
you haven't even thought
about touching a computer?
Absolutely not.
What about alcohol?
Not a drop.
You know,
I just finished interviewing
your boyfriend, mr. Bozer.
Charming young man.
He certainly is that.
Enjoy your time together--
ex-cons have a much lower rate
of reoffending when they're
in healthy relationships with...
Stable people.
Come on.
(door closes)
seriously?
Uh...
It's cool. It's cool.
I paid for it.
The only thief here
is the vending machine.
Ate my last dollar,
then mocked me by dangling
that sweet, sweet chocolate
in my face.
Dang...
That was awesome.
Thanks.
I should be
thanking you.
Convincing my p.O. We're dating
gets him off my back.
Aw, no prob. Happy to do it.
I figure helping you
is like helping mac,
since his boss pulled you out of
prison to fight cyber terrorism.
Besides,
bad girls are my kryptonite.
(sighs):
I'm not bad.
I just made a mistake.
Yeah, you know
what they say--
your best teacher
was your last mistake.
My mom used to say that
when I got in trouble.
Which was all the time.
(laughs): Mine, too.
I appreciate you
understanding.
Of course I understand.
I get you, riley.
It's why all of this
feels so natural.
It's like it's
not even acting.
I think the universe
is telling us something.
I think we're supposed
to lean into this.
So... How about you
slide me your digits?
Uh...
See, I was thinking
"digits." plural.
You-you just gave me one.
That's right.
And every week you
successfully pretend
to be my boyfriend,
you'll get another.
So only six more weeks
till I can showcase
my dope texting skills.
You mean nine more.
Area code.
Six, nine, it don't matter.
Soon I'm gonna woo you the same
way romeo would've wooed juliet
if they had snapchat
back in the renaissance.
Thornton:
How's mac doing?
He's good.
Are you sure about that?
Look...
Mac compartmentalizes
his feelings
better than anyone I know,
but he is operationally sound,
I can promise you that.
I'd understand
if he wasn't.
Nikki's betrayal would have crushed
most people. Well, macgyver
isn't most people.
And nikki wasn't just a coworker
who went rogue... His mom died
when he was five, his
dad left when he was
12... 12. I'm familiar
with his history, jack.
Point is,
adapting isn't
just some cool trick he does.
It's his survival mechanism.
Hey.
Is he brokenhearted?
Sure. But should he be
pulled from the field?
Hell, no.
He just needs some time.
He's not gonna go off the
rails looking for nikki.
He knows we have
assets out there
searching for
her right now.
He's gonna be fine.
Macgyver:
Okay, I will admit
breaking into your ex's
apartment is never a good look.
And lying to your best friend
about being on your a-game
when you're clearly distracted
by your former
girlfriend's betrayal
and consumed by a desire to
hunt her down: Also not great.
I've just been having a hard
time processing what happened.
We've talked about how
unhealthy this is, right?
You do know this place has been
searched by everybody and their dog?
Yeah. I just can't...
Stop coming back. I know.
I've only been here a few times.
A few times?
If by "a few times,"
you mean every day
since nikki escaped custody,
then... Yeah, it's a few times.
How... (chuckles) now,
before you get upset
with me, listen,
I know how you get
when something is-is stuck
in that ginormous brain
of yours.
But... Stop touching that.
Look at me.
Listen,
I'm sorry for what I said
to you in north korea.
The whole a-game thing.
I was out of line. I apologize,
okay?
But I'm genuinely concerned.
And, clearly,
I have good reason to be.
I know we missed something.
Okay.
Something that's gonna help
us find nikki. All right.
Finding nikki's not our job.
(phone chiming)
every agency in the world's
out there looking for her.
Let them find her.
Which is good,
because, as of right now,
I think we just got busy.
Riley:
I just saw this on the internet.
Venezuelan secret police
grabbed a reporter,
dumped her in some
prison, claiming
she's
an american spy.
Story's gone viral.
#hurryhomehannah
is trending.
Come on, now.
This is just another example of
a corrupt government making up
excuses to justify illegally
holding a u.S. Citizen.
Thornton:
Not just a citizen.
She's a spy.
Her real
name is...
...Sarah adler.
I'm sorry, jack.
How do you know her?
Uh, we-we went
through the farm together.
Wait, this is sarah?
Like sarah-sarah?
What was she doing in venezuela?
Agent adler was sent
in to confirm rumors
that international
arms dealer,
alfredo barrios, was now running
his operation from caracas.
Two days ago, we
got word from her.
Barrios was there.
So what happened?
She make a move on him
and something go wrong or what?
Sarah was tasked with
intel gathering only.
The cia wants
enough information
to destroy the entire
barrios network.
And sarah
got it.
Her last message mentioned
a ledger she had stolen
detailing every barrios buyer
and supplier,
including terrorist sleeper cells.
That should be
all the cia needs to arrest
barrios and destroy his network.
It would be.
But sarah was taken before
she could hit her exfil.
Where are they keeping her now?
We don't know.
Venezuela's not exactly
a friendly place
for americans these days.
Especially those accused
of being a u.S. Spy.
Which is why the cia was
forced to disavow her.
The u.S. Government can't
go anywhere near this
or they risk
blowing her cover.
It's why they asked the phoenix
foundation to come in.
We are sarah's agency
of last resort.
If we don't
find her...
...She's dead.
That's not gonna happen.
(distant gunfire)
you sure you want to do this?!
You having second thoughts,
cowboy?
You know, if you didn't have
a boyfriend, I'd marry you.
Hold on. Is this a confession?
'cause we're getting out
of here alive, so...
Don't say anything
you might regret.
(chuckles)
one,
two...
...Three?
Jack.
Are you okay?
I was thinking about belarus.
When those mercs had you
and sarah pinned down?
Closest I ever came
to coming home in a box.
That woman is the only reason
I made it home in time
to say good-bye to my dad...
Before he passed.
Hey.
I told you.
We'll find her.
Pilot says we're 30 minutes
from wheels down.
(clears throat) good.
You sure your contact
knows where to find sarah?
Hey, since you're new,
I'll let your lack of faith
slide this time, all right?
Jack used to work south
america back in the day. Oh.
Like when they invented fire.
A couple years after that.
Okay,
when you're both done
reminding me
that I'm the only one here
with wisdom,
I'll tell you
about my contact.
Nothing happens in caracas
without him knowing about it.
Nothing.
And luckily
for you two,
me and him are bffs.
(grunts)
(groaning)
jack dalton.
I thought I told you
to stay out of my bar.
(weakly):
Marco?
I thought you were dead.
You survived all
four bullets, huh?
You shot me five times, jack.
Can't even tell.
You look fantastic.
I suggest
the two of you go.
Now.
We don't serve your kind here.
Well, it's good to see
you still keep honest riffraff
like us out
of this cesspool
of a bar of yours.
I'm not gonna ask you again.
All I want to do is
talk to my
good pal julio
over there.
Julio?
Julio, ¿qué te parece?
You want to speak to jack
and his friend?
No.
You heard the man.
Now leave!
Show him out, boys,
and make sure
he bleeds.
Macgyver:
Yeah, not the best idea.
But right now,
we need a distraction.
(grunting, groaning)
(speaking spanish)
(grunting)
(coughing)
no one, I mean no one, likes
a bar fight better than me,
but you just blew up half
the bar with us in it.
I had no choice.
You're gonna kill us before marco does.
That's a brilliant plan.
♪♪
(panting)
jack:
Come on! Make this easy!
(tires screech)
(groaning)
what?
You told me to wait
in the car. Technically, I did.
(groaning continues)
your boy julio
was right.
There's something
going on in that dump.
I got live cameras,
motion detectors,
laser sensors.
Definitely a black site.
If that means
scary dudes doing scary things
in a scary building then, yeah,
black site.
How did you do that?
I used signal strength
to determine
which wi-fi network was theirs,
then used a rainbow table
to reset the password
and gave myself
complete access.
Macgyver:
Jack, I got her. There's sarah.
Riley: The good news is we found her.
Bad news is
there's no obvious way in.
Can you pull up an
overhead sat image?
Yeah, give me a sec.
What are you thinking, mac?
Yeah, that. You see that?
It's an elevator.
Most hospitals have one straight
from the alley to the morgue
so the patients
don't have to see dead bodies.
It's our way in.
Only one problem with your
plan-- street-level access
to that elevator is sealed
by what can best be described
as a giant metal plate
bolted directly into the brick.
This is
all we need
to get through three inches
of steel?
Of course not. How much
change you got in your pocket?
Macgyver: Even the mightiest
of obstacles has a weakness.
It just may not be easy
to identify at first glance.
Or second. Or third.
The trick in this line of work
is to get good
at spotting this weakness
quickly.
Then all that's left
is finding--
or more often building--
the right tool to exploit it.
(grunting)
(clang)
(clacking)
macgyver:
You watch the perimeter.
I'll radio
as soon as I find her.
All right.
(grunting)
okay. Riley, you're my eyes.
I got a direct route from you
to sarah,
but there are two problems.
The surveillance cameras
I told you about?
They're everywhere.
What's the second?
Guards,
comma, lots.
I count at least a dozen.
I can disable
any camera you want,
but there's nothing
I can do about the guards.
Riley, can you cut the power
to the building?
Shouldn't be a problem.
Hey, not to poke holes
in your plan there, mac,
but if riley blinds the guards,
she blinds you,
too, remember?
Maybe not.
Macgyver:
If I'm being totally honest,
I've never been a huge fan
of the dark.
An overactive imagination
like mine turned
my childhood bedroom into
a breeding ground for monsters
and unspeakable horrors the
moment the lights snapped off.
As an adult,
I made my peace
with the darkness,
because it can be an extremely
effective ally in the field.
So, as long as you have
a way to see
while everyone else
is in the dark--
two night vision cameras,
a little imagination,
and voilà--
you can have your very own pair
of ugly ass glasses
that boost ambient light
and let you see in the dark.
Okay. Riley, cut the power.
Got it. Ten, nine...
Ho-hold on, really? You start
your countdowns from ten?
Hey, some of us haven't done this
before, okay? I mean, come on,
go.
Riley.
(men shouting in spanish
in distance)
riley:
At the end of that corridor,
sarah's cell should be
on your left.
(men continue shouting
in spanish)
(grunts)
sarah?
You're not a guard.
Who are you
and how do you know my name?
I'm angus macgyver.
I'm with the phoenix foundation.
What's that?
Uh, u.S. Covert ops.
I'm actually here
to rescue you.
If you're with the government,
then why are you here alone?
I'm not, I'm...
I'm with... I'm with jack.
Dalton?
(coughs)
jack dalton came for me?
Yes. And if you
want to see him again,
I need you to come with me.
Right now.
Drop the flashlight, hold on.
Riley:
They have a generator.
Jack:
That's not good.
Mac, we got a new problem.
Lights are about to come on.
Get out of there now.
(men shouting in spanish)
♪♪
(grunts)
(speaks spanish)
we need another exit.
Anyone call for an uber?
(engine revving)
nice to see you, jack.
Thought you got out
of the business.
He wanted kids.
I wasn't ready.
I agree. This woman
should not have kids.
Jack, you didn't
owe me anything.
But thank you.
(clears throat)
you look good.
(chuckles)
I mean, you look good.
I bet you say that
to all the rescued hostages.
Oh, no.
(chuckles)
just you.
Yeah?
Just you.
Jack, I, um...
Yeah?
(honking, tires screech)
whoop.
My bad, my bad.
Sorry.
We here?
I... Almost.
Just, uh, take that next right.
Yeah, yeah.
That's me.
Second floor.
Been renting a room
from a local.
Can you trust him?
With my life.
What's that look for?
You're not over her, are you?
Me?
Yeah, who else would it be?
I'm not the one who
stares at her every time
she looks away.
I don't stare.
Oh... You stare.
Yeah?
Like a pro.
But it is a little more
charming than creepy.
So it's all good.
Oh...
Yeah.
And I see why
you fell for her.
She's a female
version of you.
Yeah, and what's that
supposed to be,
a hit on my ego
or something?
No, I'm just saying,
I don't understand
how you let that get away.
I don't know.
I-I don't know,
man. I was young, I was dumb,
I had no idea...
I was in love.
I always thought
she would be there,
no matter how long
the assignment.
But hey--
maybe just by us being here
is the big man's way of giving
me a second chance with her.
Despite you trying to
kill me every two seconds.
Just gonna have to let that go.
Stay back, riley,
stay back, stay back.
Sarah:
Somebody's been here.
Luis?!
Don't go... Sarah!
No.
No, no...
He wasn't a part of this.
He didn't know anything.
Wounds are still fresh.
Someone tortured him to death
within the last 24 hours.
It was barrios.
I'm so sorry.
(sirens wailing in distance)
anyone else worried about those?
I mean, they're for us, right?
There.
That's everything
on the ledger.
Go.
You got what you came for.
We came for the ledger and you.
I'm not leaving.
Forget barrios.
This is enough to take him down.
(magazine clicks)
sarah, sarah, sarah,
listen, listen.
There is nothing
you can do right now
to bring your friend back.
Do you understand me?
This isn't about
revenge, jack.
The only reason
barrios is still in town
is because he's
looking for that ledger.
As soon as he finds out
I escaped, he'll ghost.
Disappear. And he'll
do all of this somewhere else.
Yeah, but listen,
we got to go through
the proper chan...
There isn't always time
to beg some suit back home
for permission
to do what's right.
You taught me that.
I'm going with her.
You go, I go.
All right.
Um, wasn't our mission
sarah and the ledger?
Not anymore.
Isn't thornton gonna be pissed?
Only if we live.
So we're not gonna tell her?
If we tell her,
thornton will insist on backup
and we do not have time
for that right now.
Are you in?
Hell yeah.
I'm already breaking parole
just by being here.
Let's go.
I want your biggest
bundle of minutes.
Mucho minutos, por favor.
One hour.
300 bolivars.
Give me eight.
You need help
getting online, hermosa?
Uh, I think I'll
be okay. Thanks.
Hola.
Not interested.
Man:
American?
Dude, your game's good,
but there's already a half-
naked girl on your computer
and I don't want
to make her jealous.
(grunting)
(door opens)
excuse me, ma'am. We're
receiving an unsecured uplink
from venezuela
tagged with your name.
That's got to be
agent adler's ledger.
Scrub it and send it to me.
That might take a while.
It's coming in over
an old school connection
using a 56k modem.
Why?
I suspect to avoid electronic
eavesdropping.
At the current rate of download,
it'll take just over
eight hours.
Well, mac will be home by then.
He could bring it to me.
What is it?
I don't think
that's happening, ma'am.
According to ground,
macgyver and his team
missed their exfil,
and they're not responding
to comms.
(sighs)
(indistinct, distant shouting)
macgyver:
How did you get past all that?
Barrios is a pig.
He loves huge parties
and beautiful women.
So I slipped into a little
somethin' somethin'
and walked right in.
She cleans up
real nice.
(vehicle approaching)
if he gets out
of the country, that's it.
We don't get
another shot at him.
Hey, hey, I like
your spunk, I do,
but we're three people
with two weapons.
I don't think we stand
a chance against that army.
Then we'll have
to bring our own.
Macgyver: When I was a kid,
the bully down the street
used to burn ants
using a magnifying glass.
That was never my thing,
but the same principle
applies here.
Mirrors, magnifying glasses,
the power of the sun,
and you got yourself
a directional heat source.
Who is this guy?
One of a kind.
Macgyver: Once this heat source
starts cooking those ammo boxes,
they'll think
they're under attack.
(engines revving)
(tires squealing)
(men shouting in spanish)
oh, crap.
(men shouting in spanish)
(gunfire)
(men grunting)
get the ledger. Let's go!
I don't know how they found
me! I anonymized myself.
(gunfire)
they didn't trace you digitally.
This government has
informants everywhere.
Open the door.
I'm sorry.
You can apologize later.
(indistinct shouting)
(popping)
(indistinct shouting)
(explosion)
(explosion,
popping continues)
macgyver: There's barrios.
He's heading for the garage.
(engine revving)
was that barrios?
Macgyver:
We can't let him get away.
(engine revving)
there he is!
(tires squealing)
go!
(tires squealing)
get me as close to him
as you can.
Macgyver: Super bikes
are fast, very fast,
but that speed comes
at the expense of stability.
Two tires means
if you take one out,
with say, some netting
weighed down by wrenches,
the murdering drug dealer
you're chasing
will suddenly be flying,
and not riding.
(tires squealing)
stop!
(groaning)
turn over!
Turn over!
Look at me!
Look at me, you son of a bitch!
Sarah.
Stand down, agent adler!
Hey, sarah,
let's take a walk.
Come on.
(panting)
come on, let's
take a walk.
Come on, come on.
Give me this.
Give me this.
(sighs)
relax.
All right. Come on.
Come on. (sighs)
just relax.
Jack:
Hey, it's over.
There you go.
(panting)
there you go.
(sighs)
jack: Thanks for the
assist, boss lady.
You do know the mission
was sarah and the ledger,
not barrios.
That was my fault, ma'am.
Jack: No.
No, that was
my idea.
Actually,
it was mine.
Macgyver:
They're all lying.
I forced them.
Hmm.
But, seriously, how
bad is this gonna be?
On the record,
there will be a debriefing.
Oversight
doesn't like
things unsanctioned.
Off the record...
I would've done the same thing.
Hey.
Oh.
Who is that?
Friend?
With benefits. Sarah: Guys,
this is my fiancé,
jeff.
Fiancé.
Sweet.
Nice to meet
you, jeff.
I don't know what to say.
Other than
thank you.
I thought I'd lost her.
Yeah. You're
welcome, buddy.
(whispering):
I tried to tell you.
(whispering):
It's okay.
Uh...
(laughs)
what are you
laughing about?
Oh, it's just realized I have
terrible luck with women, man.
(both laugh)
what are you laughing at?
You ain't no better.
(sighs)
well, at least
we have each other.
Don't look at me.
Oh.
I know how weird it sounded.
Well...
(laughs)

macgyver: Look, I know
what you're thinking--
this guy's back here again?

Yeah, it's easy to score

Push off? Please. Yeah.

You got anything to say before
I send you to the showers?
Thank you.
For what?
For caracas.
You, uh, you really brought
your a-game to caracas.
I appreciate that.
You were right, man.
Nikki got in my head
and I need to let that go.
Well, the good news is,
you don't have to go through

You've got me.

Yeah, yeah, okay.
Yeah, tell bozer

Little boy.
Oh, yeah, old man?
Ow, dude.
Riley: Yeah. I'm
not gonna do that.
I'm just gonna get out of here
before I drown in testosterone.
(laughs)
you know,
she is the closest
either of us get
to having a stable
relationship with a woman.
No. That's not even...
That's true,
actually, that's sad.
I'm hungry.
Ready to get smoked again one
more time before we go eat?
Macgyver: My grandfather took
me to my first basketball game
when I was seven years old,
but we left before it ended;
that was by design.
Another one of his lessons.
He wanted me to see that it
didn't matter who won or lost.
It was how you played the game.
Only, grandpa was wrong
about that,
because I don't like to lose.

According to a federal ruling,
you will be

Now... How does
a hacker like you

Personally,
I'd like to believe
good things happen
to good people.
Well, I have a few questions.
Please answer truthfully,

Now, since your release,
have you traveled
outside the los angeles

No, sir.
Can I assume that

Aw, no prob. Happy to do it.
I figure helping you

Besides,
bad girls are my kryptonite.

I'm not bad.
I just made a mistake.
Yeah, you know

your best teacher

My mom used to say that

Which was all the time.
(laughs): Mine, too.
I appreciate you

Of course I understand.
I get you, riley.
It's why all of this

It's like it's

I think we're supposed

So... How about you

Uh...
See, I was thinking
"digits." plural.
You-you just gave me one.
That's right.
And every week you

He's good.
Are you sure about that?
Look...
Mac compartmentalizes
his feelings
better than anyone I know,
but he is operationally sound,
I can promise you that.
I'd understand
if he wasn't.
Nikki's betrayal would have crushed
most people. Well, macgyver
isn't most people.
And nikki wasn't just a coworker
who went rogue... His mom died
when he was five, his
dad left when he was
12... 12. I'm familiar
with his history, jack.
Point is,
adapting isn't
just some cool trick he does.
It's his survival mechanism.
Hey.
Is he brokenhearted?
Sure. But should he be
pulled from the field?
Hell, no.
He just needs some time.
He's not gonna go off the
rails looking for nikki.
He knows we have
assets out there
searching for
her right now.
He's gonna be fine.
Macgyver:
Okay, I will admit
breaking into your ex's
apartment is never a good look.
And lying to your best friend
about being on your a-game
when you're clearly distracted
by your former
girlfriend's betrayal
and consumed by a desire to
hunt her down: Also not great.
I've just been having a hard
time processing what happened.
We've talked about how
unhealthy this is, right?
You do know this place has been
searched by everybody and their dog?
Yeah. I just can't...
Stop coming back. I know.
I've only been here a few times.
A few times?
If by "a few times,"
you mean every day
since nikki escaped custody,
then... Yeah, it's a few times.
How... (chuckles) now,
before you get upset
with me, listen,
I know how you get
when something is-is stuck
in that ginormous brain
of yours.
But... Stop touching that.
Look at me.
Listen,
I'm sorry for what I said
to you in north korea.
The whole a-game thing.
I was out of line. I apologize,
okay?
But I'm genuinely concerned.
And, clearly,
I have good reason to be.
I know we missed something.
Okay.
Something that's gonna help
us find nikki. All right.
Finding nikki's not our job.
(phone chiming)
every agency in the world's
out there looking for her.
Let them find her.
Which is good,
because, as of right now,
I think we just got busy.
Riley:
I just saw this on the internet.
Venezuelan secret police
grabbed a reporter,
dumped her in some
prison, claiming
she's
an american spy.
Story's gone viral.
#hurryhomehannah
is trending.
Come on, now.
This is just another example of
a corrupt government making up
excuses to justify illegally
holding a u.S. Citizen.
Thornton:
Not just a citizen.
She's a spy.
Her real
name is...
...Sarah adler.
I'm sorry, jack.
How do you know her?
Uh, we-we went
through the farm together.
Wait, this is sarah?
Like sarah-sarah?
What was she doing in venezuela?
Agent adler was sent
in to confirm rumors
that international
arms dealer,
alfredo barrios, was now running
his operation from caracas.
Two days ago, we
got word from her.
Barrios was there.
So what happened?
She make a move on him
and something go wrong or what?
Sarah was tasked with
intel gathering only.
The cia wants
enough information
to destroy the entire
barrios network.
And sarah
got it.
Her last message mentioned
a ledger she had stolen
detailing every barrios buyer
and supplier,
including terrorist sleeper cells.
That should be
all the cia needs to arrest
barrios and destroy his network.
It would be.
But sarah was taken before
she could hit her exfil.
Where are they keeping her now?
We don't know.
Venezuela's not exactly
a friendly place
for americans these days.
Especially those accused
of being a u.S. Spy.
Which is why the cia was
forced to disavow her.
The u.S. Government can't
go anywhere near this
or they risk
blowing her cover.
It's why they asked the phoenix
foundation to come in.
We are sarah's agency
of last resort.
If we don't
find her...
...She's dead.
That's not gonna happen.
(distant gunfire)
you sure you want to do this?!
You having second thoughts,
cowboy?
You know, if you didn't have
a boyfriend, I'd marry you.
Hold on. Is this a confession?
'cause we're getting out
of here alive, so...
Don't say anything
you might regret.
(chuckles)
one,
two...
...Three?
Jack.
Are you okay?
I was thinking about belarus.
When those mercs had you
and sarah pinned down?
Closest I ever came
to coming home in a box.
That woman is the only reason
I made it home in time
to say good-bye to my dad...
Before he passed.
Hey.
I told you.
We'll find her.
Pilot says we're 30 minutes
from wheels down.
(clears throat) good.
You sure your contact
knows where to find sarah?
Hey, since you're new,
I'll let your lack of faith
slide this time, all right?
Jack used to work south
america back in the day. Oh.
Like when they invented fire.
A couple years after that.
Okay,
when you're both done
reminding me
that I'm the only one here
with wisdom,
I'll tell you
about my contact.
Nothing happens in caracas
without him knowing about it.
Nothing.
And luckily
for you two,
me and him are bffs.

I thought I told you
to stay out of my bar.

Marco?
I thought you were dead.
You survived all
four bullets, huh?
You shot me five times, jack.
Can't even tell.
You look fantastic.
I suggest
the two of you go.
Now.
We don't serve your kind here.
Well, it's good to see
you still keep honest riffraff
like us out
of this cesspool
of a bar of yours.
I'm not gonna ask you again.
All I want to do is
talk to my
good pal julio
over there.
Julio?
Julio, ¿qué te parece?
You want to speak to jack
and his friend?
No.
You heard the man.
Now leave!
Show him out, boys,
and make sure
he bleeds.
Macgyver:
Yeah, not the best idea.
But right now,
we need a distraction.
(grunting, groaning)
(speaking spanish)
(grunting)
(coughing)
no one, I mean no one, likes
a bar fight better than me,
but you just blew up half
the bar with us in it.
I had no choice.
You're gonna kill us before marco does.
That's a brilliant plan.

jack:
Come on! Make this easy!
(tires screech)
(groaning)
what?
You told me to wait
in the car. Technically, I did.
(groaning continues)
your boy julio
was right.
There's something
going on in that dump.
I got live cameras,
motion detectors,
laser sensors.
Definitely a black site.
If that means
scary dudes doing scary things
in a scary building then, yeah,
black site.
How did you do that?
I used signal strength
to determine
which wi-fi network was theirs,
then used a rainbow table
to reset the password
and gave myself
complete access.
Macgyver:
Jack, I got her. There's sarah.
Riley: The good news is we found her.
Bad news is
there's no obvious way in.
Can you pull up an
overhead sat image?
Yeah, give me a sec.
What are you thinking, mac?
Yeah, that. You see that?
It's an elevator.
Most hospitals have one straight
from the alley to the morgue
so the patients
don't have to see dead bodies.
It's our way in.
Only one problem with your
plan-- street-level access
to that elevator is sealed
by what can best be described
as a giant metal plate
bolted directly into the brick.
This is
all we need
to get through three inches
of steel?
Of course not. How much
change you got in your pocket?
Macgyver: Even the mightiest
of obstacles has a weakness.
It just may not be easy
to identify at first glance.
Or second. Or third.
The trick in this line of work
is to get good
at spotting this weakness
quickly.
Then all that's left
is finding--
or more often building--
the right tool to exploit it.
(grunting)
(clang)
(clacking)
macgyver:
You watch the perimeter.
I'll radio
as soon as I find her.
All right.
(grunting)
okay. Riley, you're my eyes.
I got a direct route from you
to sarah,
but there are two problems.
The surveillance cameras
I told you about?
They're everywhere.
What's the second?
Guards,
comma, lots.
I count at least a dozen.
I can disable
any camera you want,
but there's nothing
I can do about the guards.
Riley, can you cut the power
to the building?
Shouldn't be a problem.
Hey, not to poke holes
in your plan there, mac,
but if riley blinds the guards,
she blinds you,
too, remember?
Maybe not.
Macgyver:
If I'm being totally honest,
I've never been a huge fan
of the dark.
An overactive imagination
like mine turned
my childhood bedroom into
a breeding ground for monsters
and unspeakable horrors the
moment the lights snapped off.
As an adult,
I made my peace
with the darkness,
because it can be an extremely
effective ally in the field.
So, as long as you have
a way to see
while everyone else
is in the dark--
two night vision cameras,
a little imagination,
and voilà--
you can have your very own pair
of ugly ass glasses
that boost ambient light
and let you see in the dark.
Okay. Riley, cut the power.
Got it. Ten, nine...
Ho-hold on, really? You start
your countdowns from ten?
Hey, some of us haven't done this
before, okay? I mean, come on,
go.

how you let that get away.
I don't know.
I-I don't know,
man. I was young, I was dumb,
I had no idea...
I was in love.
I always thought
she would be there,
no matter how long
the assignment.
But hey--
maybe just by us being here

I mean, they're for us, right?
There.
That's everything

Go.
You got what you came for.

I'm not leaving.
Forget barrios.
This is enough to take him down.

listen, listen.
There is nothing
you can do right now
to bring your friend back.
Do you understand me?
This isn't about
revenge, jack.
The only reason
barrios is still in town
is because he's
looking for that ledger.
As soon as he finds out
I escaped, he'll ghost.
Disappear. And he'll
do all of this somewhere else.
Yeah, but listen,
we got to go through
the proper chan...
There isn't always time
to beg some suit back home
for permission

You taught me that.
I'm going with her.
You go, I go.
All right.
Um, wasn't our mission
sarah and the ledger?
Not anymore.
Isn't thornton gonna be pissed?
Only if we live.
So we're not gonna tell her?
If we tell her,
thornton will insist on backup
and we do not have time
for that right now.
Are you in?
Hell yeah.

missed their exfil,
and they're not responding

(indistinct, distant shouting)
macgyver:
How did you get past all that?
Barrios is a pig.
He loves huge parties
and beautiful women.
So I slipped into a little
somethin' somethin'
and walked right in.
She cleans up
real nice.
(vehicle approaching)
if he gets out
of the country, that's it.
We don't get
another shot at him.
Hey, hey, I like
your spunk, I do,
but we're three people

I don't think we stand
a chance against that army.
Then we'll have
to bring our own.
Macgyver: When I was a kid,
the bully down the street
used to burn ants
using a magnifying glass.
That was never my thing,
but the same principle
applies here.
Mirrors, magnifying glasses,
the power of the sun,
and you got yourself
a directional heat source.
Who is this guy?
One of a kind.
Macgyver: Once this heat source

macgyver: There's barrios.
He's heading for the garage.
(engine revving)
was that barrios?
Macgyver:
We can't let him get away.
(engine revving)
there he is!
(tires squealing)
go!
(tires squealing)
get me as close to him
as you can.
Macgyver: Super bikes
are fast, very fast,
but that speed comes
at the expense of stability.
Two tires means
if you take one out,
with say, some netting
weighed down by wrenches,
the murdering drug dealer
you're chasing
will suddenly be flying,
and not riding.
(tires squealing)
stop!
(groaning)
turn over!
Turn over!
Look at me!
Look at me, you son of a bitch!
Sarah.
Stand down, agent adler!
Hey, sarah,
let's take a walk.
Come on.
(panting)
come on, let's
take a walk.
Come on, come on.
Give me this.
Give me this.
(sighs)
relax.
All right. Come on.
Come on. (sighs)
just relax.
Jack:
Hey, it's over.
There you go.
(panting)
there you go.
(sighs)
jack: Thanks for the
assist, boss lady.
You do know the mission
was sarah and the ledger,
not barrios.
That was my fault, ma'am.
Jack: No.
No, that was
my idea.
Actually,
it was mine.
Macgyver:
They're all lying.
I forced them.
Hmm.
But, seriously, how
bad is this gonna be?
On the record,
there will be a debriefing.
Oversight
doesn't like
things unsanctioned.
Off the record...
I would've done the same thing.
Hey.
Oh.
Who is that?
Friend?
With benefits. Sarah: Guys,
this is my fiancé,
jeff.
Fiancé.
Sweet.
Nice to meet
you, jeff.
I don't know what to say.
Other than
thank you.
I thought I'd lost her.
Yeah. You're
welcome, buddy.
(whispering):
I tried to tell you.
(whispering):
It's okay.
Uh...
(laughs)
what are you
laughing about?
Oh, it's just realized I have
terrible luck with women, man.
(both laugh)
what are you laughing at?
You ain't no better.
(sighs)
well, at least
we have each other.
Don't look at me.
Oh.
I know how weird it sounded.
Well...

macgyver: Look, I know
what you're thinking--
this guy's back here again?
Just get over it, man;
it's getting pathetic.
But I swear I'm not hanging
onto some romance novel idea
that maybe, just maybe,
I can fix nikki and things can
go back to the way they were.
(fly buzzing)
no.
That woman belongs in jail.
And I'm not gonna stop looking
for her until she is.

now, I'm not supposed to show
a civilian this,
but here's how we do it at work.
The secret to the perfect patty,
is the meat mixture.
If you don't get it
exactly right...
Burger fail.
Dude, it's just a hamburger.
Don't ever say that,
caramel goddess.
When I make it,
it's edible art.
(laughs)
(jack grunts)
(panting) see, I know your
game too well, bro. Ha.
Seriously,
it's not even any fun.
I anticipate your every move.
If by anticipate, you mean
let me poster-ize you,
then, yeah, sure. 8-8.
(both grunting
(laughs):
Ah.
(whoops) you know,
you got to feel bad
for the defender
getting punked like that.
Yeah, it's easy to score
when you push off like that.
Push off? Please. Yeah.
9-8. Game point.
You got anything to say before
I send you to the showers?
Thank you.
For what?
For caracas.
You, uh, you really brought
your a-game to caracas.
I appreciate that.
You were right, man.
Nikki got in my head
and I need to let that go.
Well, the good news is,
you don't have to go through
this alone.
You've got me.
Ain't you lucky?
(laughs)
hey, um, burgers
are on the grill.
Oh, bozer said to tell you guys,
we're 30 seconds

Yeah, we'll be in soon.
I just gotta put this old man
out of his misery real quick.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Yeah, tell bozer
to brand a big ass "l"
on mac's burger,
'cause I'm gonna take
this little boy to school.
Little boy.
Oh, yeah, old man?
Ow, dude.
Riley: Yeah. I'm
not gonna do that.
I'm just gonna get out of here
before I drown in testosterone.
(laughs)
you know,
she is the closest
either of us get
to having a stable
relationship with a woman.
No. That's not even...
That's true,
actually, that's sad.
I'm hungry.
Ready to get smoked again one
more time before we go eat?
Macgyver: My grandfather took
me to my first basketball game
when I was seven years old,
but we left before it ended;
that was by design.
Another one of his lessons.
He wanted me to see that it
didn't matter who won or lost.
It was how you played the game.
Only, grandpa was wrong
about that,
because I don't like to lose.
