MacGyver (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 10 - War Room + Ship - full transcript

Previously on MacGyver... Matty?

No, no, no, no.

Don't do this. It's
not up to me, Bozer.

BOZER: I don't
think I want to play.

Please, stay.

I don't want you to go.

Elwood. If you hurt Riley again,

I'll be giving you a lot
more than a wake-up call.

ELWOOD: I was hoping,
maybe, if you had time later,

you'd let your old man
take you out for some dinner.

Why are you following
Elwood Davis?



You want him dead, you're
gonna have to get in line.

JACK: Messing up my song, man.

(Jack grunts)



(both grunting)

Elwood... Come on, now, stop it.

(grunting)

Cut it out.

(grunts)

Don't be stupid.

Don't make me do this.

I'm-a hurt you.

Ow!

(groaning)

Damn.

Damn, that was a lot
harder than I remember.

You been working
out or something?

Little bit. Little bit, yeah.

Except this time, I'm
not blackout drunk.

What the hell, Jack?
You friggin' kidnap me

and throw me in your trunk?
I didn't kidnap you, Elwood.

I put you in protective
custody. Oh, really?

From where I'm standing,

the only thing I need
protecting from is you.

You sure about that?

Who's the wannabe

bald-headed tough guy,

about yay tall with a scar
underneath his chin right there?

Got no idea what
you're talking about.

No idea. Oh, okay.

Then why'd he pull a gun on me

last night while I was watching
you and Riley have dinner? Hmm?

You were watching me and Riley
have dinner last night? Don't...

Don't focus on the wrong
part of the story, Elwood.

This dude jumps in
my car, flashes his piece

and tells me he
wants to kill you.

Now, personally,
I'm okay with the idea.

But I know Riley
wouldn't be, so...

here we are.

Again. I'm gonna ask
you one more time,

and I want you to
think really hard about it.

Who wants you dead?

I don't know, Jack.

Could be anybody. Okay, fine.

Until we figure this out,
you're staying with me.

Oh, no, no, no, no,
no. Mmm. Mm-hmm.

Hell no. Whatever this is,

I'll handle it.

Oh, yeah. You handling
it is what got you

in this situation in the
first place, Big Bird.

You know, Riley...

Your lovely, one
and only daughter...

Swears to me,

up and down, that
you've changed.

But I don't know, man.

I don't see it, man.

You gonna have to show me.

All right.

Deal.

Where in the hell do
you think you're going?

In the car. You
ain't going to the car.

You're not riding up front

and risk getting spotted
on the way to my place.

You're riding right
back here. Come on.

Come on!

That the real reason?

Among the many reasons, Elwood.

Get in there.

I'm going.

Get in there.

♪ ♪

Have a seat.

Cool place.

You're making a list,
right now, chump stain,

of everybody who wants you dead.

And I mean everybody.

I ain't trying to get
myself killed for you.

I don't need to
make a list, Jack.

I had time to think about it

when I was bouncing
around in your trunk.

Bald guy,

yay high, scar on his chin?

Yeah.

Name is Dougie Luccano.

Guy's from the Bronx.

He lives about two
hours up north now.

Huh? Why's he after you?

Let's just say, uh,

we've done some
business. Business.

What, building orphanages?
Helping the homeless?

He's a small-time crook, Jack.

We pulled off a
couple of cons. Yeah?

And which one of these
cons has Dougie mad enough

to put a cap in
your ass right now?

About a year ago,

we cheated some
sports memorabilia guy

out of an autographed

Jackie Robinson baseball.

It was worth about, I
don't know, 75 grand.

We were gonna sell
it, pocket half each.

On the way home that
night, that's when it hit me.

If I was gonna ever
reconnect with Riley,

then I had to change.

Not in a month or a
week or even an hour.

I had to change right then.

So I, uh,

took the ball, I tossed
it in the Hudson.

Ran straight to
my first AA meeting

and I've been sober ever since.

You know, you can go
to your first AA meeting

without being so dramatic.

It was a big, life-changing
moment for me, Jack.

Got a little, you
know... carried away.

Whatever.

So you owe this chrome dome

a $75,000 baseball
that you don't even have?

Hmm? (knock at door)

Bedroom. Now.

Go. Go.

Hey... Whoa! Whoa,
what's with the gun?

And your eye?

Nothing.

Doesn't look like nothing.

(sighs)

What are you doing?

ELWOOD: Thought
it might be Dougie.

JACK: Elwood, this is MacGyver.

He works with Riley.

Mac, this is
Elwood, Riley's dad,

who doesn't have permission
to be touching my stuff.

Nice to meet you. Yeah.

Nice to meet you, too.

Well, you two look busy. Hmm?

I was gonna talk.
We can do it later.

No, no, no, no, no.

We-we can do it now.
We'll-we'll step outside.

You... stay here.

And put that up.

You really think
Matty's lying to you

about knowing your father?

It was her on that film, Jack.

I'm almost positive of it.

Oh, man.

I have known her a long time,

and if there's one
thing I'm 100% sure of:

if she's lying, you
won't know about it.

If Matty has intel on my
father and isn't telling me...

Then she has her reasons.

Mac, look, ask yourself
what's more likely.

Okay? Your secret
agent boss is lying to you

about knowing your father,
a civilian who went missing,

or you're kind of spun out,
man, jumping at shadows.

Looks, I've said it
before and I'll say it again:

Family can do a
number on anyone.

Case in point,

look at Riley and
Daddy Dearest in there.

Okay? No, thank you. (chuckles)

That's why I'm a lone wolf, man.

Lone wolf?

(howls)

(short growl)

Last week you tried to convince

Riley, Matty and
I that we needed

matching leather
jackets to help foster...

And I'm using your words
here... Greater family unity.

(phone chimes) Because it would.

What do you want me to say?
Every lone wolf needs a pack.

Matty. I need to get to Phoenix.

All right, good, let's bounce.

Looks like she just needs me.

Well, I'll be there in the
corner lone-wolfin' it up.

I got to get away from
this guy, man. Come on.

You gonna leave him in there?

You're right, that's a bad idea.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Hey, hey, do me a favor.

Don't tell Riley
about her pops, okay?

I don't need her
getting all mad at me

'cause I agreed to stay away

from her dad and
then ended up...

Kidnapping him?

Yeah. Copy that.

Okay. Thanks.

This is one
dysfunctional wolf pack.

♪ ♪

Leanna?

Bozer?

Did we just...?

No.

I don't think so.

(relieved sigh) Okay.

So why are we in bed together?

You mean why are we
handcuffed in bed together?

(automatic gunfire,
glass shattering)

What the hell is this? Some
kind of crazy final exam?

(automatic gunfire resumes)

With real bullets? Look,

maybe we should
focus on escaping

and talk about this later.

(Bozer yells)

You're shot!

I thought I would feel worse.

You will if it doesn't
just graze you next time.

CAGE: Two hours ago,

there was an accident on
board a college research ship,

the R.V. Bancroft,
which stranded it

in the Arctic Ocean 50 miles
offshore. What happened?

Explosion in the engine room.

Blast killed the captain,
four crew members

and severely damaged the ship.

And temperatures are
dropping fast. Okay, Zoe,

I've tasked a satellite
to keep us connected.

We shouldn't lose your signal.

Cage has you up to speed?

More or less. Zoe Kimura,

meet Angus MacGyver.

MacGyver is an engineer
here at the think tank,

and our best chance
at keeping you alive

until help can get to you.

How far away is this help?

A Coast Guard icebreaker
is steaming toward them,

but it's 12 hours out.

What about aircraft?

It's negative 54 degrees.

Negative 56 now,
actually. So too cold

for planes and helicopters.

Okay. First step is gonna be
keeping everyone on board warm.

RILEY: The
propulsion room housed

the two main generators.

Both were taken out
during the explosion.

And for some reason I can't
get the backup genny to start.

Okay, Zoe, first thing
I'm gonna need you to do

is to use the camera
on your laptop

to show me the backup generator.

Okay. We're gonna be doing
this a lot, so got to make sure

you don't run out of battery.

But I'll whip up something after
we diagnose the genny's problem.

And it looks like
it's right there.

Okay. Now, Zoe,
what I need you to do

is make me a list of
everything on board

that you can get your hands
on... So that's gonna be

supplies, uh, equipment,

provisions, toiletries,

everything... and be precise.

Six packets of
ketchup is not seven.

Does that make sense?

Yeah. Sure, I-I can do that.

But why?

Because this is the stuff we're
gonna use to save your life.

Life jacket. Check.

Plastic beaker. Check.

Coffee mug. Check.

Ooh. Uh, Zoe said she had
a tin coffee mug on the ship,

and this one is ceramic.

And everything we have here

needs to be identical to
what she's got on board.

Got it. I'll keep
looking. Okay, Zoe,

it looks like your
generator problem

is actually a fuel pump
problem, so what we're gonna do

is make you a peristaltic
pump to manually feed fuel

to the generator.

First thing you're
gonna want to do

is to detach the two wheels
from the carry-on you have there,

and then you're gonna... Mac.

Uh, yep?

MacGYVER: Zoe, I'm so sorry.

I'm going way
too fast, aren't I?

No. No, no, no. It's okay.

Um, I can keep up.

I just, um, I know

we're running out of time. So...

Guys, can I have a second?

Thank you.

How we doing, Zoe?

Uh...

not great.

I mean, I-I-I'm having
trouble focusing.

And, uh, my hands
are so cold. (sniffles)

Plus, you're probably
overwhelmed, exhausted

and terrified.

And I only say so because
I know that I would be.

Yeah, that just
about sums it up.

All right.

All right, then.
Let's take a break.

What? Uh...

Do we have the time?

Zoe, don't worry about the time.

If you're gonna be
my hands on that ship,

we both need your
hands to be steady.

So, how about we
just talk for a second?

What do you teach?

I'm a... I'm a glaciologist.

It's boring, I know.

Well, maybe to most people,
but you are also talking

to a guy who once broke into
a lab at MIT to sneak a peek

at a frozen ice core
from Greenland.

Really?

Yeah.

How old was it?

They claimed 500,000 years,

but I was not convinced.

Wow.

It's not often I meet someone
who can out-geek me.

Well, Zoe, I out-geek
pretty much everyone.

Hey, can I tell you
something stupid?

I mean, I did just tell
you about the time

that I snuck into a lab

to ogle an icicle, so shoot.

I'm seriously craving
ice cream right now.

Ice cream is good.
Why is that weird?

You know what? All right.

I am ready to build this pump.

Yeah?

What is step one again?

Removing the two wheels
from your carry-on luggage

you have there and
I see on the manifest

that you do have a
tool kit, so you'll need

a Phillips head screwdriver.

Got one of those right here.

Nice.

These things come
in handy, don't they?

Zoe... (chuckles)

you have no idea.

Is he really going to be
able to save this ship?

There's no one I trust more.
MacGYVER: Save your screws.

You, uh, never really know
when you're gonna need them.

Hey, you should let me dress
that. Wait, we need to keep moving.

Look, I know spy
school's got this reputation

for being intense, but
would they really shoot at us?

My friend, Jack, warned
me that training exercises

were designed to feel
just like the real thing,

down to the operatives
using live ammo.

Live ammo and
some kind of narcotic.

I think they drugged us.

Look, we can't just
stay out here in the open.

All right? If this is a test,
there must be a way to pass.

Failing seems pretty
obvious, getting caught,

but how do we pass?

What's the first thing
that Glover taught us

about being behind enemy lines?

Find our way home.

We need to get
back to the school.

Agreed, which means

we need to figure
out where we are.

That's the flowering dogwood,

the state flower of Virginia.

Then they must not have taken
us far away from the school.

(dogs barking) Yeah,
but maybe far enough.

They're using dogs to track us.

Are we gonna be
able to outrun them?

I know I can. I hope
you can, too. Come on.

You mind if I ask
you a question?

I thought we agreed you weren't
gonna talk unless spoken to.

Didn't you used to
sell bathroom tile?

I got a promotion.

To a think tank? Just, you
know what, shut up, Elwood.

No offense, you just don't
seem the, uh, think tank type.

That's enough.

Look, I don't care personally

how you put your
money in your pocket.

I'm just glad Riley
has you in her life.

Oh, yeah, and we both
have you to thank for that,

don't we?

Look, I knew the day I met you,

you were gonna be
the one to, you know,

take over as her father figure.

Come on, Elwood.

You didn't lose her
in one day, man.

You lost her little by little
over the course of years

due to your actions, man.

Not your words, your actions.

They're what
made it clear to her

she's not the most important
thing to you in your life.

That's not very nice, Jack.

Yeah, well, I'll be
happy to point out

what a moron you are, Elwood.

Any time.

ELWOOD: That's him.

That's Dougie. Also
known as the chucklehead

who was dumb enough to
pull a gun on me. Let's go.

Well, well, well.

Pistol Pete.

Elwood.

Dougie. Long time.

Where the hell have
you been hiding?

Must've searched every
racetrack in the country

looking for you.

Yeah. Hundred bucks
work for you, slick?

Finder's fee for bringing
this degenerate to me.

I didn't bring him to you.

He's here with me.

I'm here to tell
you to back off.

Or you're gonna have a serious
problem. You understand me?

That sounds a little like a
threat. You got good ears.

Still feeling tough?

Not as much, no. Good.

Because there's
no need for violence

as long as Woody here
coughs up the 75 grand

he owes me. 75?

Come on, Dougie. You
know I only owe you half.

Half was a year ago.

Now it's the full amount.

Unless you have the ball.

Not presently, no.

I get the ball or
I get the money.

And if I don't
get neither, well,

you have a
daughter, right? Riley?

Maybe she's good for the money.

The ball or the money...

by tomorrow.

Now, bend the generator's
fuel line into a U-shape

around the wheel
and axle assembly.

Okay. Done.

How's this look?

Yeah, that's perfect.

You just built yourself
a peristaltic pump.

Now, running the drill should
push diesel along the fuel line

and into the generator
just like the fuel pump

should have.

Just like that.

Wow. Here's to hoping
mine does that, too.

Oh, my God. It worked.

It worked. We did it.

Oh, my gosh.

I can already feel
the heat coming on.

Now that you got the power
on I can see you a little better.

Hey, Mac.

(alarm blaring)

Is that the fire alarm?

Go check on the other students.

Can someone go
in the control room

and see where the fire is?

MAN: I'm in the control room.

The computer's showing
fires in the bow thruster room,

the galley and the science lab.

Maybe it's just an error.

I'll go check the thruster room.

These rooms are right
above the propulsion room

where the explosion happened.

Heat from the blast
could've melted the insulation

on the wiring behind the walls.

MATTY: Turning the power back on

shorted them out
and lit the fires.

Okay, uh, not a
false alarm. Real fires.

Very real and our fire
suppression system

didn't come on.
MacGYVER: Okay, so the ship

must've sustained more
damage than we thought.

If we don't put
those fires out now,

the whole ship is gonna burn.

(alarm blaring) ZOE: We
have enough extinguishers

for the smaller fires,

but the one in the bow
thruster room... (coughs)

it's getting out of control.

MacGYVER: Okay,
that door right there.

It's watertight, which
means it's also airtight.

If you can close it,
then the fire should

eat up all the oxygen
and burn itself out.

Be careful, though.
It's gonna be very hot.

ZOE: Okay. That
seemed to have worked.

(chuckles) And the other
fires are going out, too, so...

(coughs) ...I think
we're gonna be okay.

(coughing)

Most fire deaths
aren't from burns;

they're from smoke inhalation.

So, without fresh air,

everyone on board
is still in danger,

which means we're just
gonna have to clean the air.

Cardboard boxes...

box fans...

carbon filters. I have an idea.

This ship is transporting
activated carbon filters,

which they're gonna
use to clean the water

at the research station,

but we're gonna repurpose
them and use them

to make the air on
board breathable.

Zoe, can you get
to the cargo room?

(coughs)

The cargo hold is directly
below the propulsion room.

(coughs) The initial reaction
must've caused this damage.

Mac, I can see the filters,
but I can't get to them.

Uh, how far away are they?

15 feet, maybe 20.

I need the exact distance.

Riley, pull up
schematics of that room.

Mac.

I need space so I
can build the ship.

Okay, which kind is it?

It's, uh...

No.

It's this one. This is it.

I think. Dude.

Jack, I'm pretty sure.

If we're gonna
pull off the fake,

you need to be more
than "pretty sure."

Jack, it was a year ago

and I was totally loaded.

I didn't exactly

snap a clear mental
picture. All right?

It looks good.

Best I can tell.

All right.

What next? Google it.

Google?

Yeah, "how to convincingly
counterfeit a baseball."

I-I don't know. This
isn't my specialty,

conning people.
Okay? This is your deal.

(knock at door)

(whispering): Go in my room.

Go in my room.

Riley. Hey.

Hey. Come on in.

What happened to your eye?

Hmm?

Your eye. What...?

Oh, yeah. I, uh,

ran into a doorknob.

Really?

How is that even possible?

Yeah. What-what
can I do you for,

Riley, is everything okay?
Does Mac need me back at work?

No, Mac's good. He's
busy building something.

Kind of flying solo on this one.

I just ducked out because...

I keep calling my dad and
he's not picking up. Ooh.

Yeah. Well, that's not good.

You think he took off again?

No, I don't.

I think he's still in L.A.

You wouldn't happen to
know where he is, would you?

Me? No.

No, you asked
me to stay out of it.

That's what I'm
doing. Staying out.

Boundaries is my middle name.

Jack Boundaries Dalton.

That's me. I
wouldn't go that far.

All right. Well...

thanks, anyway.

Yeah.

Just one more thing.

Yeah?

If you don't know
where my dad is,

why is his phone
in your apartment?

Who are you, Columbo?

Hey, kiddo. You run
into a doorknob, too?

You tracked his cell phone,
huh? Of course I tracked his phone.

How do you think I got here?

Question is,

what are you doing here, Dad?

What are you guys
doing together?

I robbed a rare
baseball worth 75 grand,

and now someone's gonna kill me

if I don't give 'em
the money or the ball.

Well, I know you
don't have the money.

So where's the ball?

(sighs)

In the Hudson. River.

It's in... it's in
the Hudson River.

Wow.

I never thought I'd see the day

you two would be in
the same room together.

Let alone work together.

So how can I help?

JACK: What's going
on in here, brainiac?

Redecorating or what?

Uh, it's a long
story, but basically,

if I can't figure out how
to grab those soda cans,

through all the rubble,
then 32 people on a boat

in the Arctic are gonna die.

Hmm. Well, I would love to help,

but Riley and I gotta fake
a signature on a baseball

or her dad's gonna die.

What? Yeah.

Are you...

Sorry, buddy, I don't actually
have time for this right now.

It's too bad you can't
just yank that thing

off the shelf, the
way Luke did on Hoth

before that ice
monster attacked.

You know, he used the Force.

Wait, what did you just say?

(imitates Obi-Wan
Kenobi): Use the Force.

That's it. Ow!

That's it, I'm gonna
use the Force.

Glad I could help.
Forget that thing, Zoe.

Why, you came up
with something else?

I didn't, Jack did.

He did? He did?

Yeah. Okay, in order
to get those filters,

we're gonna use the
force... The force of gravity.

So I need you and the students
to grab everything that you can,

and move it to the
stern of the ship.

(coughs) Okay.

So...

what have you decided
about leaving school?

I haven't decided yet.

I'm still not sure how I feel.

I know how I feel.

Disappointed.

I just don't want to have
lost the U.S. a good operative.

Even if that means I've
lost myself a good friend.

Is that what we are, Leanna?

Friends?

Aren't we?

I'm gonna go see if this
guy has a first-aid kit.

(grunts, cries out)

(coughing)

Can you hear me now?

(panting)

See, that was a joke,
'cause of that old commercial.

Thanks. Yeah.

Okay. (cell phone chimes)

"Five teams neutralized,
three still in play."

Then we better get going
before his friends come.

Come on.

(indistinct chatter, coughing)

MAN: Someone help
me move this thing?

Is this really gonna work?

Uh, yeah, it should.

We just need enough
ballast in the stern

to raise the bow five degrees.

And if we do that, the filters

should fall off the shelf

and roll right down the hall
to Zoe. ZOE: Okay, Mac,

everything that can
be moved has been.

Okay, the rest is up to gravity.

(hull creaking)

(coughs) It's working. Tilting.

ZOE: Come on,
come on. (creaking)

Yes. Go get 'em.

(coughing)

ZOE: We got it.

Now what?

Uh, now we build
you an air filter.

Please hurry, Mac. It's
really hard to breathe.

I know, but we're
gonna change that.

Now, let's get to work.

Come on, man, when are we
gonna use all this tea I brought?

You know, to stain it,
make it look all old-timey.

This is a $75,000
baseball, Jack,

not a fourth grade book report.

This UV laser is going
to do 65 years' worth

of sun damage in one hour. Okay.

I'll be right back.

Who is that again? That's Jill.

She new? Nope, she's not new.

You've met her
numerous times. I have?

Once she's done aging the ball,

we still need to get
Jackie Robinson to sign it.

So, I'm aggregating 684

authentic Jackie Robinson
signatures into one. Mm-hmm.

And when do we
use the space laser

to print the
signature on the ball?

It's not a space laser, Jack.

And we need the
signature to bend

around the ball naturally.

The only way to do
that is to use a hand.

ROBOT: The aggregated
signature has loaded.

My hand is ready when
you are. You just sit tight.

Once I'm done aging
the ball, you can sign it,

and I can get back
to the War Room.

JACK: Or we can go to
Vegas and count some cards.

Mmm.

Thanks, Jack.

For what?

For helping Elwood.

You know I'm not
doing this for him, right?

Yeah, it's weird... it's like
I get why you're doing it,

I just don't get
why I'm doing it.

I mean, this guy has not
made one sacrifice for me.

Not one.

Then he shows back up in
my life swearing he's changed,

and the next thing you know,

I'm helping commit
baseball fraud.

It's like I'm ten years
old all over again.

You helped him commit
fraud at ten years old?

Don't answer that.

I remember when you were little,

you wanted to do
everything by yourself.

Didn't want help from anybody,

and wanted to make
sure we all knew it.

You were a tough little girl.

And you've become
a real badass, Riley.

Honestly.

Even if the biological
doesn't see it,

the Wookiee does.

(making Wookiee groans)

I'm gonna teach you
some Wookiee right now.

(making Wookiee sounds)

(chuckling) He's getting it.

ZOE: Hey, your air purifier
is still working perfectly,

and all 31 students
are accounted for.

Thanks for, uh,
keeping me company.

I really appreciate it.

Of course.

And the Coast Guard rescue
ship is only three hours away,

so nothing left to
do now but wait.

(chuckles)

Hey, what are you
playing with over there?

It's an old habit.

One my boss banned,

but you had paper
clips on the ship, so...

(chuckles)

Just something to
keep my hands busy.

And clear your head?

Uh... you know when
the Coast Guard told me

that they were patching
me through to an engineer,

the last thing I expected
was a cute science geek

who would save my
life with random objects.

I'm halfway a world away.
You saved your own life.

Uh, so, the Phoenix Foundation.

What's that all about?

Uh, well,

we are a think tank

and we specialize in
unconventional solutions

to unconventional problems.

And after what I've seen today,

you'd fit right in here.

(laughing): Oh. Oh, yeah?

Don't tease.

This geeky grad student is
buried under a mountain of debt

and could use a job,

preferably one on dry land.

(chuckles) Drop by when
you get back to the States.

I'll show you around.

We could grab that ice cream.

Yeah, I'm gonna
take you up on that.

(metal whining, groaning)

Uh, MacGyver, did you hear that?

Hear what?

Listen.

(metal groaning) What is that?

(water sloshing)

Oh, my God.

The hull is being
crushed inward.

There's water coming in.

Something's wrong with
the door. Can you show me?

The compression gasket's torn,

so even if you close it,
it's not gonna be watertight.

We got to find a
way to seal it now.

Okay, how?

I don't know just yet,
but it's gonna be all right.

You know, I never thanked
you for coming back for me.

You really thought
I'd leave you?

I mean, you were really angry.

I was, but only 'cause I
thought that... Sport bikes.

Coming up fast.

We're never gonna outrun them. Look, I'm
pretty sure this is a training exercise,

but if I'm wrong and it isn't,

then we are definitely gonna die

before we get back to school,

so here's the truth, Leanna.

I was mad at you
because I was hurt,

hurt by what you did,
because I thought that if you

could do something
like this to me,

then-then you must
not feel the way I do.

Leanna, I think you're amazing.

And the only
thing that I want...

The school.

(tires screeching)

Exit the vehicle now.

Hey, so, that thing I just said,

probably just the
adrenaline talking,

so don't feel
like you have to...

I think you're
amazing, too, Bozer.

GLOVER: Wilt Bozer.

Leanna Martin.

You just passed your
final training exercise.

(chuckles)

Congratulations.

(chuckles)

(both laughing)

Uh, can you help me?

ZOE: Okay, we've
mixed the resin.

It's thick, like Play-Doh.

That's perfect.

Now spread it around
the door's inner edge.

It's safe to use your fingers.
Just make sure you get it

all the way around
the door jamb.

Are you sure it's
gonna be thick enough

to completely seal the door?
Yeah, it'll expand when you add heat.

Uh, Mac, I think
you need to see this.

According to this model,

even if we seal that door,

once the backup generator
room floods, the ship will

have taken on too much
water. It's still gonna sink.

How much time do they have?

From the moment it fills...

45 minutes, tops. Okay.

Add the roughly
ten minutes it'll take

for the room to flood, plus
the two to three minutes

the students will have before
hypothermia hits... Which gives them

about an hour before that ship
absolutely needs to be there.

Where's the icebreaker now?
What's the time to intercept?

(computer chirps) 59 minutes,

with some margin of error.

ZOE: Uh...

Okay. Putty's in
place. What's next?

The last step... I'm gonna show
you how to make this detonator

so you can trigger
the reaction remotely.

Got it.

(quietly): Okay.

Okay, hope this works.

Three, two,

one.

Mac, nothing's happening.

Mine's not working.

Okay, check the
connections on the remote

and the detonator itself.

I-I don't know. Everything's
connected properly. MacGYVER: Zoe,

just breathe; I'm gonna walk
you through the build again,

Oh, my God, the
hole's all right?

Getting bigger... There's
water everywhere.

There's no way to stop it!

(beeps)

She's right.

There's gotta be
something I can use

to trigger this reaction
remotely. What if we...

This is...

Damn it, we've used everything.

Wait. We haven't
used everything.

What do you mean?
What haven't we used?

Me.

We haven't used me.

I can seal the door
from the inside.

So, you sat on this
thing for a whole year?

Why didn't you sell
it, take the money?

I thought about it.

I decided to get sober instead.

Okay. Well, this
has been a lot of fun.

Now that you
have your little ball,

we're all good here, right?

With this? Yeah.

Yeah. Awesome.

It's been great doing
business with you, Dougie.

Come on, Elwood.

There's still the matter of, uh,

interest that Elwood owes me.

JACK: Come on,
man, it's a baseball,

not a mutual fund. I spent a
year tracking this deadbeat down.

You cost me time and resources.

I got a reputation to protect.

You want to be square with me?

Do ya? Yeah.

I want another 10K.

I don't got that kind of
money. I might be able

to cobble that together...

Jack.

I'm tired of people handling
my problems for me.

I can,

uh, pay this the other
way, can't I, Dougie?

Wait, you mean...

$10,000 beating?

That could take a while.

(chuckles) Hang on, now,
no one is taking a beating.

Jack.

One more thing, Dougie.

When we're done here, we're...

we're done, right?

It's over.

(grunting)

Zoe, help is only
30 minutes away.

We can put you guys
in the lifeboats earlier,

we whip something up
to keep you guys warm.

No. Going out there
even a minute early

would risk the lives of my kids,

and I won't do that, not
when this is a sure thing.

There has to be another way.
There's always another way.

Mac... Something I overlooked.

Wait, Mac.

If I don't seal this
door right now,

the whole ship will sink before
the Coast Guard gets here.

You did the math yourself.

There's only one number that
matters anymore, okay? 31.

That's how many lives
are outside this room.

No, I can't let
you do this, Zoe.

Then come and stop me, MacGyver.

You know how I
know this is right?

Because, uh...

even though I don't
really know you,

I feel like this is what you
would do if you were here.

So, uh...

you just said it
needs heat to react,

so if I light the
resin directly,

it'll burn, right?

Yeah.

(sniffs, exhales)

Can we do this together?

(exhales) Okay.

(quietly): Okay.

Hope this works.

It will.

(water flowing)

Uh, the water's
rising really fast now.

(groans) Oh, God.

It's, um, colder than
I thought it would be.

Colder than I thought, uh...

anything would be, but, uh...

So...

this is what you do at
the Phoenix Foundation?

Save lives every day?

We try.

You did that, okay?

So don't forget that.

You did everything
you could, and...

so many parents... are
gonna be so grateful.

You did this, Zoe.

I just talked to you.

(panting softly)

(trembling): Uh...

h-hey, Mac?

Yeah?

I wish we could
have met in person.

Me, too.

I w... I would've liked
to see your think tank.

I'd like to share
that ice cream.

Hey, you never told me.

What's your favorite flavor?

(panting): Rocky road.

That's mine, too.

I know a great place.

You would love it.
