MacGyver (2016–…): Season 4, Episode 12 - Episode #4.12 - full transcript
Previously, onMacGyver...
RILEY:
I just want to give Mac and
Desi the space they deserve.
Is that whatyou're telling yourself?
Don't make me say it.
I'm Auntie Gwen.
OVERSIGHT:
File 47 is a hypothetical plan
that would plunge
the world into chaos.
It's a reset switch.
[alarm blaring]You can't save everyone.
When I fed you that lie
about wanting to join Codex,
you lapped it up.
Of course, you were lying.
Sure.
♪ Your time has come
♪ Can't tell hell
♪ From the sun

[grunting]
[gun cocks]
Gorgeous day, isn't it?
Gwen. Yeah, I am
always starving after
a good nature hike.
What do you say?
A little breakfast
with your dear ol' aunt?
Doesn't seem like
I have much of a choice.
[chuckles]
Come on, kiddo.
♪
[door opens]
MATTY: You're here early.
Or should I say late?
You know we have techs
working around the clock.
You really need to go home
and get some sleep.
I'm concerned about Angus.
I think he may have fallen
under Codex's spell.
Why would you say that?
Is there something
you know that I don't?
No, it's just a feeling.
Okay, well, since we aresharing feelings,
I'm concerned about you.
Russ, listen to me.
Don't mistake your pareidolia
for single-minded focus.
You're brilliant,
but don't get crazy.
I've made a lot of mistakes.
Lost more to Codex
than I care to admit.
I just don't want
to lose Mac, too.
Well, there's only so much
weight any one of us can bear.
It's time for next steps.
What did you have in mind?
Let me show you.
You're eating like
this is your last meal.
Mm.
Help yourself.
Blueberry were always
your favorite.
How did you know that?
You know, I remember
giving you your first telescope.
You used to huff it all
the way up to the roof
to get a good look.
Just like I used to.
That telescope
that you're talking about
was given to me by my father.
Was it?
[chuckles]
Your father had many
admirable qualities... truth
was not one of them.
When Mom died...
everyone said she was...
looking down at me, so
that telescope, in my mind,
allowed me to...
look back up at her, somehow.
Yeah.
I promised to look out for you.
For her.
Although...
admittedly, I'm kind of the
world's worst guardian angel.
You know, when you were born,
you looked like
a little shriveled-up alien.
Seriously ugly.
But I took one look at you,
and my heart...
just opened up.
A biological response. Well,
exactly. Key to the survival
of our species,
but the feelings...
The-the feeling...
was surprising.
Why am I here?
Codex desperately
needs people like you.
What, my engineering skillsmake me worth saving?
Yes. And besides, you're
all the fam I got left.
Right. You and I,
together... we can rebuild.
The world.
Just like
your mom would have wanted.
Invoking my dead mother
doesn't sell me
on a plan that kills billions. The plan...
Herplan... is world salvation.
Well, look, if you really
want to get me on board,
maybe now's the time
that you walk me through it.
[laughs]
Nice try.
You know, you have one
of my top operatives... Scarlett.
Her sister Ella's
worried about her.
She's the only family
Ella has left.
She's fine.
Unlike you, we don't like
to hurt innocent people.
[clears throat]
Yeah, your father
has indoctrinated you to believe
that you're working
for the good guys.
Always owning the
moral high ground,
but...
It wasn't cancer
that took your mom.
It was your government.
The same CIA that
tried to kill me.
I'm sorry. I...
You must have at least suspectedl was telling you the truth.
Maybe.
Then you can finally see
the world the way I see it.
The clock's run out.
We are mere days away
from a long winter's night.
And I would rather
you not be left...
well, left out in the cold.
That's up for you to choose.
Phoenix or Codex.
[scoffs]
It's all gonna be
paper soon anyway.
[door opens, bells jingle]
DESI:
Has anyone seen Mac?
He was gone before I woke up,
and... assumed he was here.
Nope, and I've been
here most of the night.
Hey.
Hey.
What happened to you?
Codex grabbed me
on my morning run.
What? Yeah.
It was my aunt. TAYLOR: What?
Gwen just wanted to
have breakfast with me,
but it felt like a last supper.
So how did you get away?
She just let me go.
Right.
She said we are "mere days away
from a long winter's night."MATTY: So whatever
their plan is,
we don't have a lot of time.
Riley, where are we
with locating Codex'snew headquarters?
The number we got from
the merchant linked
to a 56K hardwired modem.
I'm using a brute force
attack on its encryption
to isolate the network. It's notgonna be fast or guaranteed.
I've been reaching out
to intelligence agencies,
and things are getting
a little freaky.
Well, it's the endof the world.
They've got thingsto cross off their bucket list.
Not that kind of freaky,
you freak.
Top-level scientists
and military personnel
are going AWOL
or-or straight-up missing.
So, Codex agents
are going to ground.
It's confirmation
of an imminent attack.
Taylor and I are getting
on the jet to D.C.
It is past time we ring alarm
bells at the highest level.
MacGYVER: No.
I mean, you said it yourself...
We can't trust anybody.
Certainly not the people
who murdered my mother
and her whole team. BOZER: But
your mom died of cancer. That's what
the CIA made it look like.
Gwen filled me in. TAYLOR: Angus,
Gwen's manipulating you. Look,
letting in the CIA
or anybody else means
more people who'll only
serve their own agendas.
Mac, what would you do instead?
I haven't figured that out yet. Codex is
on the verge of attacking theworld, so we don't have time to
not figure things out yet.
I realize that. MATTY:
Okay, Mac,
I understand how you're feeling,
but it's done.
Taylor and I are calling in the
cavalry, and in the meantime,
I need the four of youto use every available resource
Phoenix has to locate Codex.
Starting with their operative... Scarlett.
I've brought her in
for interrogation, so...
DESI:
Hey.
What's with all the late-nightdisappearing acts?
You ever heardof leaving a note?
I'm sorry. I've had a lot on my
mind. Let's see. My dad's dead.
I killed that nice family
man at the power plant.
And, oh, yeah, now my mom's
been murdered, so that's fun.
That's why I'm here... to help you. Desi,
there's no future for any of us
if we don't figure this out.
Look...
right now
what we need to focus on
is just getting Scarlett
to talk.
[keypad beeps]
[buzzer sounds, lock clicks]
[door closes]
Hey, Scarlett.
We really want to help youget back to your sister,
but we need to knowwhat Codex is planning.
Help us stop them,
and we are authorizedto give you whatever you need.
That's the easy way.
Oh, if you take these off,
I'm happy to do things
the hard way.
Look, I have to believe that
somewhere deep down you know
that what Codex is
doing is wrong.
Help us,
we'll get Ella out.
We can reunite you two.
Well, since we're talking
about family...
what about all of you?
Well, Angus here, an only child, but...
Bozer was the closest thing
you had to a sibling.
Desiree has a brother,
doing his residency
at John Hopkins.
Am I right?
Yeah, you're right.
Let's take those shackles offand get to the fun part.
You know, ever sincemy parents were killed,
my sister wanted to be a doctor.
I mean, we're just soldiers
who break things.
Ah, but our siblings...
They put it back together.
You and me,
we're not that different.
And what's your sister think
of culling
the global population?
So much for "do no harm."
She deserves so much better
that the global climate disaster
that's being left to her.
How can you say
that you can protect her
after what the government did
to your aunt,
to your own mother?
How could I possibly trust them?
Gwen still thinks that
you're gonna come around.
Over and over,
she was very clear:
do not harm Angus.
Even when it went
against orders.
Gwen doesn't call the shots?
No.
Well, we all have to take
orders from somebody.
Right, soldier?
Isn't that how you justify
all those people
you've killed, Desiree?
Let me show you.
[grunts]
No. Desi,
let's go. You can beat me
till I'm black and blue,
but my loyalty is to my family.
Get off of me!
What are you doing?
She's about to talk,
and then you nearlytake her head off?
You're letting herget to you.
I'mletting her get to me?
Yes, you're playingright into their hands.
I'mplaying right
into their hands?
God, what is wrong with you?
Why do you refuse to seewhat is actually happening here?
And what is that?
You're compromised.
Are you questioning my loyalty?
You are so drunk on somescrewed-up cocktail of your mom,
your aunt, Codex science...
No, I'm not.
Things are just complicated.
No, it is simple.
It is us or them.
Whose side are you on?
I don't know what answer's
gonna get you off my back.
Both? Neither?
Wow.
Clearly, you are not on mine.
[indistinct conversations]
Matty, I hope you understand
this is your one and only call
using the red bat phone. I understand
that, Danny,
and I wouldn't waste it.
But we need to mobilize
our nation's defenses
like never before.
Okay.
FBI. NSA.
ODNI. DHS.
JSOC.
The whole alphabet's here.
You have 90 seconds.
TAYLOR:
All right, then.
Let's get straight to it.
This...
this is Codex.
A millenarianist doomsday
international terroristorganization that wraps itself
in an eco-warrior ethos...
You know, rather than just...
rehash this brochure,
why I don't I just...
jump to the good bits, hmm?
Recent attacks and penetrations
on sensitive facilities
directed by their leader,
Gwendolyn Hayes,
are soon to culminate
in a global attack
that will wipe out
a quarter
of the Earth's population.
They believethat these attacks
will save the planetfrom an otherwise
inevitable collapse
due to climate change.
Nearly two billion people...
dead.
[murmuring]
Now, we haveintelligence
that says this attack...
is mere days away.
DANNY:
Armageddon is
scary stuff,
but where's the hard evidence?
Well, they tend notto leave anything behind, but...
rest assured...
this threat is real.
How are they gonna do it?
We don't know.
Phoenix is closeto finding
the location
of Codex's headquarters,
but we need to knowthe rules of engagement
and if we can relyon military support.
TAYLOR:
This is exactly
the kind of intransigence
that has allowed Codexto recruit
so many to its cause.
We need to act, and act now.
[phone rings]
Yes?
I hear you.
Very clear.
[hangs up]
Look...
the big boss had ears on us
and heard your pitch.
The problem is POTUS
doesn't want to get caught
holding a dookie sandwich
if you're wrong.
A dookie sandwich?
But, Danny,
with all due respect,
this is no time for us
to stick our heads in the sand.
Right.
Well...
Plausible deniability
is a cloak I've worn before.
Russ, excuse me.
Mr. Taylor,
we're hereby giving you
authorized authority, via
your private military company,
Spearhead, to eliminate Codex.
No chances taken.
Understood? MATTY: Gentlemen,
I'm not comfortable
with the ramifications...
You may assure
President Royce...
that the enemywill be chopped off at the head.
I expect no less
from a man of your...
character.
Somebody call
to get the cable fixed?
Riley, have youlocated Codex yet?
I'm almost there.
They're still in the western
U.S., but I need more time.
Who are these guys?
They're Reaper drone pilots.
TAYLOR:
Good news, everyone.
The president has sanctioned
Spearhead Operations
to neutralize Codex.
By any means necessary.
Neutralize?
Codex is on U.S. soil,
so to circumvent
the law, it's you ordering
the missile strike
instead of the president.
Well, with so much at stake, all options are on the table.
Look, what they're doing
is obviously very wrong,
but there are good people there.
There are civilians,
scientists, their families. Angus,
you are distraught
by personal loss.
Your vision is
completely clouded.
We are all in this
fight because you
wanted to make up for past sins,
yet here you are,
resorting to the same method
you swore off. MATTY:
Okay, you two need
to cool it. I'm sorry, Matty,
but this isn't
how the Phoenix works...
We don't indiscriminately take
innocent lives. But you're okaywith Codex doing it?
I don't... What are
you talking about?
This.
CLIVE [on recording]:
And why do you
want to join Codex?
MacGYVER:
Both of my parents are dead.
I feel...
free.
Free to choose a path
of science and reason.
CLIVE:
And the whole...
Codex planning on killing
billions of people...
your friends...
Phoenix...
your girlfriend?
Sometimes to do what's right
you have to sacrifice
the things you love.
Body language. Pupil dilation.
Electrocardio rhythms.
All indicate the same thing: that you're telling the truth.
I knew it.
No. I...
I was playing a part. Yes, well,
the data says otherwise. This is insane.
Auntie Gwen got to you. You don't all believe this,
do you? Riles.
Boze.
Unless you've been
taking acting classes...
It's hard not to worry
about you, Mac.
TAYLOR:
I'm sorry.
But I needed to removeall doubt, so that no one
would question me
when I say to you
that you are off this mission.
Ma-Matty.
You're not a machine, Mac.
And a person
can only take so much.
None of you get it.
It's... you're not...
You're taking sides in
a war that nobody wins.
[laughing, indistinct chatter]
I like your pom-pom.
That's a good one.
Would you excuse me?
Sure.
Roman.
Your unsanctioned tripto Los Angeles raised concern.
[chuckles]
Leland had you tail me.
That's lovely.
I don't need a babysitter.
And you should know,
muscle's easily replaced.
Yeah, well, it's my job, ma'am.
Head of security,
et cetera, et cetera.
But you know that.
So don't take it personal.
You can tell our boss
that it was a
fact-finding mission.
It turns out Scarlett is being
held by the Phoenix Foundation.
She's alive,
but... potentially compromised.
Then we should up the timetable.
No, Roman.
We proceed according to plan.
Myplan.
So relax.
Hang out, enjoy the sunset.
It's a reminder of what
we're fighting for.
BOZER:
I'm not saying Mac's
gone full Codex,
but Taylor's always been right
with the psy-ops stuff.
You're siding with
Taylor over Mac,
who doesn't have an
evil bone in his body?
DESI: Mac is just too good
of a person to make hard choices
in the best of times.
Des.
I think something inside him
is close to breaking.
Here I am.
The sum total of both of you.
All the good.
All the bad.
You taught me
I could fix things, but...
I don't know if I can this time.
Really wish you guys
were here right now.
Dad, you used
to always say that thing.
The only real failure
is never having tried at all.
So...
I'm gonna try something.
But it means risking everything.
Everyone I love.
Science is driven by cold logic,
by equations you can test
and duplicate.
But humankind's
greatest leaps forward
were all born of instinct
and intuition,
by the belief that the
impossible was within reach.
So there comes a time
to put aside all logic
and trust your gut
and do what you feel is right.
Liftoff affirmed.
Green lights
on missiles one and two.
This is a last resort, correct?
Of course.
[guards coughing]
[alarm blaring]
We got a security alert
in the interrogation room.
Get Desi to meet me there.
MacGYVER:
There's a high probability
in the next 24 hours
that the Codex base
will be taken out
with a drone strike.
Your sister, my aunt...
I need your help saving them.
If I take you there, how dol know you won't betray us?
You don't.
[sighs]
TAYLOR: Angus,
there's no way out, so just...
just stop this.
Mac,
just put her back in her cell.
We can talk about this.
I think we both know
it's too late for that.
Don't do this.
MacGYVER:
At my recommendation,
the Phoenix recently installed
a hypoxic
fire prevention system,
based on the simple principle
that fire needs oxygen.
Wait.
So, if you suck
most of the oxygen out
and replace it
with nitrogen-rich air...
breathing gets very hard.
[both gasping, panting]
I'm sorry.
MATTY:
Angus MacGyver has gone rogue.
Get APBs out
to every local and federallaw enforcement agency.
Start running facial rec
on every camera
located withina 60-mile radius.
Report all progress
to Riley Davis.
Angus MacGyver is now officiallyan enemy of the state.
Get to work.
Is all this really necessary?
Was leaving me and Desi withoutany oxygen really necessary?
There has to bean explanation.
Mac does everythingfor a reason.
DESI: Mac's not himself.
He needs to be stopped
for his own good.
TAYLOR:
I know only too well
the evil that Codex nurtures
in even the best of us.
Unfortunately,
Mac is now a threat.
And there's no telling
what his next move will be.
Desi.
Put the Phoenixin lockdown.
Riley, Bozer, you both know Mac best.
Anticipate his moves and help mebring him back in here
before he does anything else
he's gonna regret.
None of us want him hurt.
I'm counting on the both of you.
Why the pit stop
at the sketchy warehouse?
A century-old secret.
A few weeks ago,
Phoenix obtained a
weapon known as Shiva,
made by Nikola Tesla...
I know.
I was there, mansplainer.
Oh, yeah. Right. Well, anyways, we outfitted this building
as a research facility
in the hopes
that we could determine whatCodex is planning to use it for.
So did you? No.
I was hoping, since we're
on the same side now,
you could spill the tea. I'm a soldier,
I'm not a scientist.
I don't knowwhy we want it.
So we're gonna go grab it?
Yeah. You're crazy.
I like you.
Wait.
Hold on.
Nothing on the west side.
What you got?
Hoping to catch Mac and Scarlettstealing their getaway vehicle,
so... I'm hackingdoorbell cameras
in the neighborhoodaround the Phoenix.
Smart.
And disturbing that
you can do that.
I can't believe we're runninga manhunt for Mac. Actually, this is
my second time.
In sixth grade,
he got in trouble
for blowing up the
chemistry lab and ran away.
The whole school went on
lockdown and a search party
was formed to comb through
Mission City woods.
Where'd he turn up?
My house.
Said he got scared and...
that's where he felt safe.
Do you really think Gwencould get into his head?
Maybe.
If it were me,
I know she would
mess with my head.
Mac's always wanted a
connection to his mom,
and Gwen's giving him that.
Got something?
No.
Mac's too smartto leave a trail.
Yeah.
Can you take a look at this?
Mm-hmm.
Hey, hey.
[grunting]
Well, when it comes to partners, I guess I have a type.
We are not partners.
[indistinct chatter]
Knock, knock.
We're here for Shiva
and we have no intention
of hurting anybody. All of the emergency protocols...
I designed them.
So whatever you're thinking, I'm a step ahead.
Look, we'd love to cooperate,
but Mr. Taylor
made it very clear
that you're persona non grata.
Ahem.
But, hey, who are we to judge?
Knock yourselves out with Shiva.
We literally have.
A couple of times.
[alarm blaring]
Dude.
Hold on.
Before we shootanybody,
let's just... try locking 'emin that supply closet.
I'll workon the exit strategy.
He's going after Shiva.
Damn it, Angus.
GUARD:
Lock down the building!
[gunfire]
Aw, come on!
What now, genius?
Working on it.
Riles? Get in.
Let's go!
Hey. Stop![tires screeching]
[gunfire]
Looks like
the ALPR blocker on the
plates is still working.
[sighs]
Thank you.
I'd hate to think where I'd beif you hadn't shown up.
[chuckles]
Why did you do it?
Because, at the end of the day,
I trust you, Mac.
But, seriously,
man, what's going on?
I know that everybody thinks
that Gwen has cast
a spell on me,
but look at Taylor.
I can't figure it out,
but he's obsessed with Codex.
He pretends like there's
other options on the table.
But, given the chance,
he's gonna press the button,
no matter how many
innocent lives he takes.
So now what?
We ask your Aunt Gwen nicely
not to press herbutton
to reset the world?
I saw somethingin her, Riles.[scoffs]
As estranged as we may be,
I'm the only familythat she has left.
More importantly,
she thinks
I'll join 'em. So,
I use Shiva back there
to convince 'em
that I've changed my mind.
And once I'm inside Codex,
I figure out a way to stop her.
You know, withoutall the needless death.
And how do we know
we're not walking into a trap?
We don't.
Gwen could welcome uswith open arms, or...
we could be marchingto our deaths.
You know you don't haveto do this, right?
What?
And miss all the fun?
[chuckles softly]
If any of you had any doubtsabout where Mac's loyalties lie,
well, I hopethey've been put to rest.
There's got to be
another explanation.
Then I suggest
that you find them,
bring them back and ask them.
Riley did a hell of a jobcovering their tracks.
I mean, no phone signals, no GPS, no nothing.
Y'all believe what you want,
but Riley left us a clue.
The trace on the modem finally
pinged a location in Montana.
I'm accessing
satellite coverage now.
Looks like a ranch complex.
We've got
multiple power sources,
heat signatures
for about a hundred people.
I'll start a scanof the property.
No, that's Codex headquarters.
We've got them.
Desi, how long to geta tactical assault team on site?
We've got to gear up,
get airborne,
add in flight time, HALO in.
At best, four hours.
Calculating from when
Mac and Riley left
the research facility.
They'll get there first.
And warn Gwen, which
will give enough time
to evacuate Codex.
Or worse, set up a defense
and turn our assault
into a suicide mission.
We can takewhat they throw at us.
Or we can call Washington
for other options.
No, Matilda.
Chain of command was clear.
Cut off the head of the snake.
How long before you can get
the Reaper in position?
At top speed, we can getto these coordinates
in roughly an hour.
All right.
Get on it.
BOZER: Uh, hold up.
We don't know when Macand Riley are gonna get there,
and we're talkingabout dropping a missile?
How do we even knowthat will stop Codex?
MATTY:
The drone
could be our best optionat taking out
Codex leadership.
Has everyone lost their minds?
Desi, back me up here.
Sometimes we need to sacrifice
the things we love
for the greater good.
Look, we all know what
you're going through, Bozer.
Angus is family.
But we can't risk billions
of lives to save his.
If you could go back
in time and stop Hitler,
stop 9/11, even if it meant
sacrificing innocent lives,
wouldn't you do it?
Let me I ask you something, Taylor.
How's that so differentthan what Codex is saying?
Inform me
when the Reaper'sin firing position
and wait for my command.
Home sweet home.
I have eyes on Scarlett,
MacGyver, and another
Phoenix agent. Over.
Scarlett's compromised. Take her out. Take 'em all out.
Hey, Roman, we don'teven know why they're here.
Don't be so naive.
She led Phoenix right to us.
MAN [over walkie]:
All units,
take out MacGyver. Do not
let them reach the perimeter.
So is there a secret
password or signal?
Or do we just drive up to the
front door and shout "Howdy"?
Duck!
[gunfire]
Gwen sure knows how to
roll out the red carpet.
We do tend to besuspicious of outsiders.
Hang on.
Hold your fire!
That's not good.
They'll have us dead
to rights in a second.
Can you do your Mac thing? Yeah. On it.
Is this really timefor arts and crafts?
You know what?
It actually is.
[grunts]
DESI:
What the hell's
going on down there?
Are they fighting
with Codex agents?
Since you're out of toys,
MacGyver, this one's mine.
[grunts]
Reaper in position.
Target acquired.
MATTY: There's more going on
down there than we're aware of.
Don't let your trigger fingerget itchy.
Come on, Taylor. Mac's fighting them.
Missile One away.
I didn't give the order to fire.
My orders have been
clear all along, sir.
Abort that missile. We've got people on the ground.
I'm afraid I can't do that. I think you can.
GWENDOLYN:
MacGyver could provide
valuable intel.
What's the strategic
benefit of shooting him?
Eliminating risk.
I have my orders, and we don'twant to take chances. Hey.
Do not let them near
the ranch house.
Is that clear? MAN: Yes, sir. You heard him.
What now? Well, I just got a lot less
popular at group meals.
We need to make contactwith Gwen.[phone dings]
Hey.
Damn.
Taylor pressed the button.
Oh, God. Ella.
We need to get everybody out.
Tell me you got a plan, Mac.
Get to the ranch house.
Of course you'd say that.
Everyone, just calm down.
We're all on the same team here.
Desi?
It's easy.
You can do it, too.
[grunting]
Stand down.
Green light, boys. Fire at will.
Is this windshield bulletproof?
Not against that kindof firepower.
But I have an idea on how
to get through to Gwen.
Wait.
Wait, new orders.
Hold your fire.
Come on, Gwen. He's doing Morse code.
He's saying "Hellfire...
inbound."
Incoming missile.
Emergency protocols. Get everyone to safety now.
Everyone inside! In!
Now! Get the kids. Get 'em in.
[screaming, shouting]
Now it's my turnto be your guardian angel.
He's on our side,
Roman, and so am I.
He brought us Shiva. You gonna shoot him for it?
What's that gonna do
against a Hellfire?
Hopefully it'll act as a
mini missile defense system.
Thank you.
Tesla designed Shiva
to release a powerful
electromagnetic pulse,
which should scramble
any electronics within range.
In this case,
that'd be the guidance system
in an incoming missile.
[exhales]
It actually worked?
Thanks for the doubt.
Hey, Mac, how many missiles does
a Reaper drone carry?
I'm guessing two.
You better hurry. Yeah, well, this thing takes
a minutes to crank.
We don't have a couple minutes.
[chuckles]
I'll be hanging onto this.
Thank you, Taylor. You made the right call.
Let me make something clearto you, Matilda.
I am not on Mac's side.
There's a concrete structure
under that ranch house there.
Taking out Codex leadership
was not 100% guaranteed.
Otherwise, I would have
let that bomb drop,
regardless of Mac or Riley.
Well, then, thank you anyway.
Bozer,
we need to getin touch with Mac
and find out exactlywhat's going on down there.
We still don't knowwhere his loyalties lie,
and our priorityis to take out Codex.
So if he getsin our way next time,
I'm telling you,
I will not hesitate.
[indistinct chatter]
SCARLETT: Ella.
[sighs]
Thank you.
GWENDOLYN: Roman,
play nice with our guests.
So what changed your mind?
I can't find a holein the logic of File 47.
I hate it, but I don'thave any other solutions.
My mother was right.
I'm really glad that you werehere to show me that, Gwen.
So am I.
And your girlfriend?
You know I'm not his girlfriend.
You also know
the skills I have to offer.
We're a package deal.
Then you both understand
the commitment you're making?
Any lingering doubt? We just betrayed our friends
to stop a missilefrom dropping on your head,
so I'd saythat ship has sailed.
[chuckles]
Okay.
[dialing]
[indistinct chatter]
Welcome home, Angus.
RILEY:
This is unbelievable.
They built
a whole city down here.
So what now?
Improvise.
Captioning sponsored by CBS
RILEY:
I just want to give Mac and
Desi the space they deserve.
Is that whatyou're telling yourself?
Don't make me say it.
I'm Auntie Gwen.
OVERSIGHT:
File 47 is a hypothetical plan
that would plunge
the world into chaos.
It's a reset switch.
[alarm blaring]You can't save everyone.
When I fed you that lie
about wanting to join Codex,
you lapped it up.
Of course, you were lying.
Sure.

Doesn't seem like
I have much of a choice.

Come on, kiddo.

[door opens]
MATTY: You're here early.
Or should I say late?
You know we have techs
working around the clock.
You really need to go home
and get some sleep.
I'm concerned about Angus.
I think he may have fallen
under Codex's spell.
Why would you say that?
Is there something
you know that I don't?
No, it's just a feeling.
Okay, well, since we aresharing feelings,
I'm concerned about you.
Russ, listen to me.
Don't mistake your pareidolia
for single-minded focus.
You're brilliant,
but don't get crazy.
I've made a lot of mistakes.
Lost more to Codex
than I care to admit.
I just don't want
to lose Mac, too.
Well, there's only so much
weight any one of us can bear.
It's time for next steps.
What did you have in mind?
Let me show you.
You're eating like
this is your last meal.
Mm.
Help yourself.
Blueberry were always
your favorite.
How did you know that?
You know, I remember
giving you your first telescope.
You used to huff it all
the way up to the roof
to get a good look.
Just like I used to.
That telescope
that you're talking about
was given to me by my father.
Was it?
[chuckles]
Your father had many
admirable qualities... truth
was not one of them.
When Mom died...
everyone said she was...
looking down at me, so
that telescope, in my mind,
allowed me to...
look back up at her, somehow.
Yeah.
I promised to look out for you.
For her.
Although...
admittedly, I'm kind of the
world's worst guardian angel.
You know, when you were born,
you looked like
a little shriveled-up alien.
Seriously ugly.
But I took one look at you,
and my heart...
just opened up.
A biological response. Well,
exactly. Key to the survival
of our species,
but the feelings...
The-the feeling...
was surprising.
Why am I here?
Codex desperately
needs people like you.
What, my engineering skillsmake me worth saving?
Yes. And besides, you're
all the fam I got left.
Right. You and I,
together... we can rebuild.
The world.
Just like
your mom would have wanted.
Invoking my dead mother
doesn't sell me
on a plan that kills billions. The plan...
Herplan... is world salvation.
Well, look, if you really
want to get me on board,
maybe now's the time
that you walk me through it.
[laughs]
Nice try.
You know, you have one
of my top operatives... Scarlett.
Her sister Ella's
worried about her.
She's the only family
Ella has left.
She's fine.
Unlike you, we don't like
to hurt innocent people.
[clears throat]
Yeah, your father
has indoctrinated you to believe
that you're working
for the good guys.
Always owning the
moral high ground,
but...
It wasn't cancer
that took your mom.
It was your government.
The same CIA that
tried to kill me.
I'm sorry. I...
You must have at least suspectedl was telling you the truth.
Maybe.
Then you can finally see
the world the way I see it.
The clock's run out.
We are mere days away
from a long winter's night.
And I would rather
you not be left...
well, left out in the cold.
That's up for you to choose.
Phoenix or Codex.
[scoffs]
It's all gonna be
paper soon anyway.
[door opens, bells jingle]
DESI:
Has anyone seen Mac?
He was gone before I woke up,
and... assumed he was here.
Nope, and I've been
here most of the night.
Hey.
Hey.
What happened to you?
Codex grabbed me
on my morning run.
What? Yeah.
It was my aunt. TAYLOR: What?
Gwen just wanted to
have breakfast with me,
but it felt like a last supper.
So how did you get away?
She just let me go.
Right.
She said we are "mere days away
from a long winter's night."MATTY: So whatever
their plan is,
we don't have a lot of time.
Riley, where are we
with locating Codex'snew headquarters?
The number we got from
the merchant linked
to a 56K hardwired modem.
I'm using a brute force
attack on its encryption
to isolate the network. It's notgonna be fast or guaranteed.
I've been reaching out
to intelligence agencies,
and things are getting
a little freaky.
Well, it's the endof the world.
They've got thingsto cross off their bucket list.
Not that kind of freaky,
you freak.
Top-level scientists
and military personnel
are going AWOL
or-or straight-up missing.
So, Codex agents
are going to ground.
It's confirmation
of an imminent attack.
Taylor and I are getting
on the jet to D.C.
It is past time we ring alarm
bells at the highest level.
MacGYVER: No.
I mean, you said it yourself...
We can't trust anybody.
Certainly not the people
who murdered my mother
and her whole team. BOZER: But
your mom died of cancer. That's what
the CIA made it look like.
Gwen filled me in. TAYLOR: Angus,
Gwen's manipulating you. Look,
letting in the CIA
or anybody else means
more people who'll only
serve their own agendas.
Mac, what would you do instead?
I haven't figured that out yet. Codex is
on the verge of attacking theworld, so we don't have time to
not figure things out yet.
I realize that. MATTY:
Okay, Mac,
I understand how you're feeling,
but it's done.
Taylor and I are calling in the
cavalry, and in the meantime,
I need the four of youto use every available resource
Phoenix has to locate Codex.
Starting with their operative... Scarlett.
I've brought her in
for interrogation, so...
DESI:
Hey.
What's with all the late-nightdisappearing acts?
You ever heardof leaving a note?
I'm sorry. I've had a lot on my
mind. Let's see. My dad's dead.
I killed that nice family
man at the power plant.
And, oh, yeah, now my mom's
been murdered, so that's fun.
That's why I'm here... to help you. Desi,
there's no future for any of us
if we don't figure this out.
Look...
right now
what we need to focus on
is just getting Scarlett
to talk.
[keypad beeps]
[buzzer sounds, lock clicks]
[door closes]
Hey, Scarlett.
We really want to help youget back to your sister,
but we need to knowwhat Codex is planning.
Help us stop them,
and we are authorizedto give you whatever you need.
That's the easy way.
Oh, if you take these off,
I'm happy to do things
the hard way.
Look, I have to believe that
somewhere deep down you know
that what Codex is
doing is wrong.
Help us,
we'll get Ella out.
We can reunite you two.
Well, since we're talking
about family...
what about all of you?
Well, Angus here, an only child, but...
Bozer was the closest thing
you had to a sibling.
Desiree has a brother,
doing his residency
at John Hopkins.
Am I right?
Yeah, you're right.
Let's take those shackles offand get to the fun part.
You know, ever sincemy parents were killed,
my sister wanted to be a doctor.
I mean, we're just soldiers
who break things.
Ah, but our siblings...
They put it back together.
You and me,
we're not that different.
And what's your sister think
of culling
the global population?
So much for "do no harm."
She deserves so much better
that the global climate disaster
that's being left to her.
How can you say
that you can protect her
after what the government did
to your aunt,
to your own mother?
How could I possibly trust them?
Gwen still thinks that
you're gonna come around.
Over and over,
she was very clear:
do not harm Angus.
Even when it went
against orders.
Gwen doesn't call the shots?
No.
Well, we all have to take
orders from somebody.
Right, soldier?
Isn't that how you justify
all those people
you've killed, Desiree?
Let me show you.
[grunts]
No. Desi,
let's go. You can beat me
till I'm black and blue,
but my loyalty is to my family.
Get off of me!
What are you doing?
She's about to talk,
and then you nearlytake her head off?
You're letting herget to you.
I'mletting her get to me?
Yes, you're playingright into their hands.
I'mplaying right
into their hands?
God, what is wrong with you?
Why do you refuse to seewhat is actually happening here?
And what is that?
You're compromised.
Are you questioning my loyalty?
You are so drunk on somescrewed-up cocktail of your mom,
your aunt, Codex science...
No, I'm not.
Things are just complicated.
No, it is simple.
It is us or them.
Whose side are you on?
I don't know what answer's
gonna get you off my back.
Both? Neither?
Wow.
Clearly, you are not on mine.
[indistinct conversations]
Matty, I hope you understand
this is your one and only call
using the red bat phone. I understand
that, Danny,
and I wouldn't waste it.
But we need to mobilize
our nation's defenses
like never before.
Okay.
FBI. NSA.
ODNI. DHS.
JSOC.
The whole alphabet's here.
You have 90 seconds.
TAYLOR:
All right, then.
Let's get straight to it.
This...
this is Codex.
A millenarianist doomsday
international terroristorganization that wraps itself
in an eco-warrior ethos...
You know, rather than just...
rehash this brochure,
why I don't I just...
jump to the good bits, hmm?
Recent attacks and penetrations
on sensitive facilities
directed by their leader,
Gwendolyn Hayes,
are soon to culminate
in a global attack
that will wipe out
a quarter
of the Earth's population.
They believethat these attacks
will save the planetfrom an otherwise
inevitable collapse
due to climate change.
Nearly two billion people...
dead.
[murmuring]
Now, we haveintelligence
that says this attack...
is mere days away.
DANNY:
Armageddon is
scary stuff,
but where's the hard evidence?
Well, they tend notto leave anything behind, but...
rest assured...
this threat is real.
How are they gonna do it?
We don't know.
Phoenix is closeto finding
the location
of Codex's headquarters,
but we need to knowthe rules of engagement
and if we can relyon military support.
TAYLOR:
This is exactly
the kind of intransigence
that has allowed Codexto recruit
so many to its cause.
We need to act, and act now.
[phone rings]
Yes?
I hear you.
Very clear.
[hangs up]
Look...
the big boss had ears on us
and heard your pitch.
The problem is POTUS
doesn't want to get caught
holding a dookie sandwich
if you're wrong.
A dookie sandwich?
But, Danny,
with all due respect,
this is no time for us
to stick our heads in the sand.
Right.
Well...
Plausible deniability
is a cloak I've worn before.
Russ, excuse me.
Mr. Taylor,
we're hereby giving you
authorized authority, via
your private military company,
Spearhead, to eliminate Codex.
No chances taken.
Understood? MATTY: Gentlemen,
I'm not comfortable
with the ramifications...
You may assure
President Royce...
that the enemywill be chopped off at the head.
I expect no less
from a man of your...
character.
Somebody call
to get the cable fixed?
Riley, have youlocated Codex yet?
I'm almost there.
They're still in the western
U.S., but I need more time.
Who are these guys?
They're Reaper drone pilots.
TAYLOR:
Good news, everyone.
The president has sanctioned
Spearhead Operations
to neutralize Codex.
By any means necessary.
Neutralize?
Codex is on U.S. soil,
so to circumvent
the law, it's you ordering
the missile strike
instead of the president.
Well, with so much at stake, all options are on the table.
Look, what they're doing
is obviously very wrong,
but there are good people there.
There are civilians,
scientists, their families. Angus,
you are distraught
by personal loss.
Your vision is
completely clouded.
We are all in this
fight because you
wanted to make up for past sins,
yet here you are,
resorting to the same method
you swore off. MATTY:
Okay, you two need
to cool it. I'm sorry, Matty,
but this isn't
how the Phoenix works...
We don't indiscriminately take
innocent lives. But you're okaywith Codex doing it?
I don't... What are
you talking about?
This.
CLIVE [on recording]:
And why do you
want to join Codex?
MacGYVER:
Both of my parents are dead.
I feel...
free.
Free to choose a path
of science and reason.
CLIVE:
And the whole...
Codex planning on killing
billions of people...
your friends...
Phoenix...
your girlfriend?
Sometimes to do what's right
you have to sacrifice
the things you love.
Body language. Pupil dilation.
Electrocardio rhythms.
All indicate the same thing: that you're telling the truth.
I knew it.
No. I...
I was playing a part. Yes, well,
the data says otherwise. This is insane.
Auntie Gwen got to you. You don't all believe this,
do you? Riles.
Boze.
Unless you've been
taking acting classes...
It's hard not to worry
about you, Mac.
TAYLOR:
I'm sorry.
But I needed to removeall doubt, so that no one
would question me
when I say to you
that you are off this mission.
Ma-Matty.
You're not a machine, Mac.
And a person
can only take so much.
None of you get it.
It's... you're not...
You're taking sides in
a war that nobody wins.
[laughing, indistinct chatter]
I like your pom-pom.
That's a good one.
Would you excuse me?
Sure.
Roman.
Your unsanctioned tripto Los Angeles raised concern.
[chuckles]
Leland had you tail me.
That's lovely.
I don't need a babysitter.
And you should know,
muscle's easily replaced.
Yeah, well, it's my job, ma'am.
Head of security,
et cetera, et cetera.
But you know that.
So don't take it personal.
You can tell our boss
that it was a
fact-finding mission.
It turns out Scarlett is being
held by the Phoenix Foundation.
She's alive,
but... potentially compromised.
Then we should up the timetable.
No, Roman.
We proceed according to plan.
Myplan.
So relax.
Hang out, enjoy the sunset.
It's a reminder of what
we're fighting for.
BOZER:
I'm not saying Mac's
gone full Codex,
but Taylor's always been right
with the psy-ops stuff.
You're siding with
Taylor over Mac,
who doesn't have an
evil bone in his body?
DESI: Mac is just too good
of a person to make hard choices
in the best of times.
Des.
I think something inside him
is close to breaking.
Here I am.
The sum total of both of you.
All the good.
All the bad.
You taught me
I could fix things, but...
I don't know if I can this time.
Really wish you guys
were here right now.
Dad, you used
to always say that thing.
The only real failure
is never having tried at all.
So...
I'm gonna try something.
But it means risking everything.
Everyone I love.
Science is driven by cold logic,
by equations you can test
and duplicate.
But humankind's
greatest leaps forward
were all born of instinct
and intuition,
by the belief that the
impossible was within reach.
So there comes a time
to put aside all logic
and trust your gut
and do what you feel is right.
Liftoff affirmed.
Green lights
on missiles one and two.
This is a last resort, correct?
Of course.
[guards coughing]
[alarm blaring]
We got a security alert
in the interrogation room.
Get Desi to meet me there.
MacGYVER:
There's a high probability
in the next 24 hours
that the Codex base
will be taken out
with a drone strike.
Your sister, my aunt...
I need your help saving them.
If I take you there, how dol know you won't betray us?
You don't.
[sighs]
TAYLOR: Angus,
there's no way out, so just...
just stop this.
Mac,
just put her back in her cell.
We can talk about this.
I think we both know
it's too late for that.
Don't do this.
MacGYVER:
At my recommendation,
the Phoenix recently installed
a hypoxic
fire prevention system,
based on the simple principle
that fire needs oxygen.
Wait.
So, if you suck
most of the oxygen out
and replace it
with nitrogen-rich air...
breathing gets very hard.
[both gasping, panting]
I'm sorry.
MATTY:
Angus MacGyver has gone rogue.
Get APBs out
to every local and federallaw enforcement agency.
Start running facial rec
on every camera
located withina 60-mile radius.
Report all progress
to Riley Davis.
Angus MacGyver is now officiallyan enemy of the state.
Get to work.
Is all this really necessary?
Was leaving me and Desi withoutany oxygen really necessary?
There has to bean explanation.
Mac does everythingfor a reason.
DESI: Mac's not himself.
He needs to be stopped
for his own good.
TAYLOR:
I know only too well
the evil that Codex nurtures
in even the best of us.
Unfortunately,
Mac is now a threat.
And there's no telling
what his next move will be.
Desi.
Put the Phoenixin lockdown.
Riley, Bozer, you both know Mac best.
Anticipate his moves and help mebring him back in here
before he does anything else
he's gonna regret.
None of us want him hurt.
I'm counting on the both of you.
Why the pit stop
at the sketchy warehouse?
A century-old secret.
A few weeks ago,
Phoenix obtained a
weapon known as Shiva,
made by Nikola Tesla...
I know.
I was there, mansplainer.
Oh, yeah. Right. Well, anyways, we outfitted this building
as a research facility
in the hopes
that we could determine whatCodex is planning to use it for.
So did you? No.
I was hoping, since we're
on the same side now,
you could spill the tea. I'm a soldier,
I'm not a scientist.
I don't knowwhy we want it.
So we're gonna go grab it?
Yeah. You're crazy.
I like you.
Wait.
Hold on.
Nothing on the west side.
What you got?
Hoping to catch Mac and Scarlettstealing their getaway vehicle,
so... I'm hackingdoorbell cameras
in the neighborhoodaround the Phoenix.
Smart.
And disturbing that
you can do that.
I can't believe we're runninga manhunt for Mac. Actually, this is
my second time.
In sixth grade,
he got in trouble
for blowing up the
chemistry lab and ran away.
The whole school went on
lockdown and a search party
was formed to comb through
Mission City woods.
Where'd he turn up?
My house.
Said he got scared and...
that's where he felt safe.
Do you really think Gwencould get into his head?
Maybe.
If it were me,
I know she would
mess with my head.
Mac's always wanted a
connection to his mom,
and Gwen's giving him that.
Got something?
No.
Mac's too smartto leave a trail.
Yeah.
Can you take a look at this?
Mm-hmm.
Hey, hey.
[grunting]
Well, when it comes to partners, I guess I have a type.
We are not partners.
[indistinct chatter]
Knock, knock.
We're here for Shiva
and we have no intention
of hurting anybody. All of the emergency protocols...
I designed them.
So whatever you're thinking, I'm a step ahead.
Look, we'd love to cooperate,
but Mr. Taylor
made it very clear
that you're persona non grata.
Ahem.
But, hey, who are we to judge?
Knock yourselves out with Shiva.
We literally have.
A couple of times.
[alarm blaring]
Dude.
Hold on.
Before we shootanybody,
let's just... try locking 'emin that supply closet.
I'll workon the exit strategy.
He's going after Shiva.
Damn it, Angus.
GUARD:
Lock down the building!
[gunfire]
Aw, come on!
What now, genius?
Working on it.
Riles? Get in.
Let's go!
Hey. Stop![tires screeching]
[gunfire]
Looks like
the ALPR blocker on the
plates is still working.
[sighs]
Thank you.
I'd hate to think where I'd beif you hadn't shown up.
[chuckles]
Why did you do it?
Because, at the end of the day,
I trust you, Mac.
But, seriously,
man, what's going on?
I know that everybody thinks
that Gwen has cast
a spell on me,
but look at Taylor.
I can't figure it out,
but he's obsessed with Codex.
He pretends like there's
other options on the table.
But, given the chance,
he's gonna press the button,
no matter how many
innocent lives he takes.
So now what?
We ask your Aunt Gwen nicely
not to press herbutton
to reset the world?
I saw somethingin her, Riles.[scoffs]
As estranged as we may be,
I'm the only familythat she has left.
More importantly,
she thinks
I'll join 'em. So,
I use Shiva back there
to convince 'em
that I've changed my mind.
And once I'm inside Codex,
I figure out a way to stop her.
You know, withoutall the needless death.
And how do we know
we're not walking into a trap?
We don't.
Gwen could welcome uswith open arms, or...
we could be marchingto our deaths.
You know you don't haveto do this, right?
What?
And miss all the fun?
[chuckles softly]
If any of you had any doubtsabout where Mac's loyalties lie,
well, I hopethey've been put to rest.
There's got to be
another explanation.
Then I suggest
that you find them,
bring them back and ask them.
Riley did a hell of a jobcovering their tracks.
I mean, no phone signals, no GPS, no nothing.
Y'all believe what you want,
but Riley left us a clue.
The trace on the modem finally
pinged a location in Montana.
I'm accessing
satellite coverage now.
Looks like a ranch complex.
We've got
multiple power sources,
heat signatures
for about a hundred people.
I'll start a scanof the property.
No, that's Codex headquarters.
We've got them.
Desi, how long to geta tactical assault team on site?
We've got to gear up,
get airborne,
add in flight time, HALO in.
At best, four hours.
Calculating from when
Mac and Riley left
the research facility.
They'll get there first.
And warn Gwen, which
will give enough time
to evacuate Codex.
Or worse, set up a defense
and turn our assault
into a suicide mission.
We can takewhat they throw at us.
Or we can call Washington
for other options.
No, Matilda.
Chain of command was clear.
Cut off the head of the snake.
How long before you can get
the Reaper in position?
At top speed, we can getto these coordinates
in roughly an hour.
All right.
Get on it.
BOZER: Uh, hold up.
We don't know when Macand Riley are gonna get there,
and we're talkingabout dropping a missile?
How do we even knowthat will stop Codex?
MATTY:
The drone
could be our best optionat taking out
Codex leadership.
Has everyone lost their minds?
Desi, back me up here.
Sometimes we need to sacrifice
the things we love
for the greater good.
Look, we all know what
you're going through, Bozer.
Angus is family.
But we can't risk billions
of lives to save his.
If you could go back
in time and stop Hitler,
stop 9/11, even if it meant
sacrificing innocent lives,
wouldn't you do it?
Let me I ask you something, Taylor.
How's that so differentthan what Codex is saying?
Inform me
when the Reaper'sin firing position
and wait for my command.
Home sweet home.
I have eyes on Scarlett,
MacGyver, and another
Phoenix agent. Over.
Scarlett's compromised. Take her out. Take 'em all out.
Hey, Roman, we don'teven know why they're here.
Don't be so naive.
She led Phoenix right to us.
MAN [over walkie]:
All units,
take out MacGyver. Do not
let them reach the perimeter.
So is there a secret
password or signal?
Or do we just drive up to the
front door and shout "Howdy"?
Duck!
[gunfire]
Gwen sure knows how to
roll out the red carpet.
We do tend to besuspicious of outsiders.
Hang on.
Hold your fire!
That's not good.
They'll have us dead
to rights in a second.
Can you do your Mac thing? Yeah. On it.
Is this really timefor arts and crafts?
You know what?
It actually is.
[grunts]
DESI:
What the hell's
going on down there?
Are they fighting
with Codex agents?
Since you're out of toys,
MacGyver, this one's mine.
[grunts]
Reaper in position.
Target acquired.
MATTY: There's more going on
down there than we're aware of.
Don't let your trigger fingerget itchy.
Come on, Taylor. Mac's fighting them.
Missile One away.
I didn't give the order to fire.
My orders have been
clear all along, sir.
Abort that missile. We've got people on the ground.
I'm afraid I can't do that. I think you can.
GWENDOLYN:
MacGyver could provide
valuable intel.
What's the strategic
benefit of shooting him?
Eliminating risk.
I have my orders, and we don'twant to take chances. Hey.
Do not let them near
the ranch house.
Is that clear? MAN: Yes, sir. You heard him.
What now? Well, I just got a lot less
popular at group meals.
We need to make contactwith Gwen.[phone dings]
Hey.
Damn.
Taylor pressed the button.
Oh, God. Ella.
We need to get everybody out.
Tell me you got a plan, Mac.
Get to the ranch house.
Of course you'd say that.
Everyone, just calm down.
We're all on the same team here.
Desi?
It's easy.
You can do it, too.
[grunting]
Stand down.
Green light, boys. Fire at will.
Is this windshield bulletproof?
Not against that kindof firepower.
But I have an idea on how
to get through to Gwen.
Wait.
Wait, new orders.
Hold your fire.
Come on, Gwen. He's doing Morse code.
He's saying "Hellfire...
inbound."
Incoming missile.
Emergency protocols. Get everyone to safety now.
Everyone inside! In!
Now! Get the kids. Get 'em in.
[screaming, shouting]
Now it's my turnto be your guardian angel.
He's on our side,
Roman, and so am I.
He brought us Shiva. You gonna shoot him for it?
What's that gonna do
against a Hellfire?
Hopefully it'll act as a
mini missile defense system.
Thank you.
Tesla designed Shiva
to release a powerful
electromagnetic pulse,
which should scramble
any electronics within range.
In this case,
that'd be the guidance system
in an incoming missile.
[exhales]
It actually worked?
Thanks for the doubt.
Hey, Mac, how many missiles does
a Reaper drone carry?
I'm guessing two.
You better hurry. Yeah, well, this thing takes
a minutes to crank.
We don't have a couple minutes.
[chuckles]
I'll be hanging onto this.
Thank you, Taylor. You made the right call.
Let me make something clearto you, Matilda.
I am not on Mac's side.
There's a concrete structure
under that ranch house there.
Taking out Codex leadership
was not 100% guaranteed.
Otherwise, I would have
let that bomb drop,
regardless of Mac or Riley.
Well, then, thank you anyway.
Bozer,
we need to getin touch with Mac
and find out exactlywhat's going on down there.
We still don't knowwhere his loyalties lie,
and our priorityis to take out Codex.
So if he getsin our way next time,
I'm telling you,
I will not hesitate.
[indistinct chatter]
SCARLETT: Ella.
[sighs]
Thank you.
GWENDOLYN: Roman,
play nice with our guests.
So what changed your mind?
I can't find a holein the logic of File 47.
I hate it, but I don'thave any other solutions.
My mother was right.
I'm really glad that you werehere to show me that, Gwen.
So am I.
And your girlfriend?
You know I'm not his girlfriend.
You also know
the skills I have to offer.
We're a package deal.
Then you both understand
the commitment you're making?
Any lingering doubt? We just betrayed our friends
to stop a missilefrom dropping on your head,
so I'd saythat ship has sailed.
[chuckles]
Okay.
[dialing]
[indistinct chatter]
Welcome home, Angus.
RILEY:
This is unbelievable.
They built
a whole city down here.
So what now?
Improvise.
