Previously onMacGyver...
MacGYVER: Everything's a puzzle

when it comes to my father.
Always has been.

Look at the numbers

on the tattoo on his arm.

I think he's trying
to tell you how to find him.

MATTY: Need I remind you what
would happen if these people

escape with a handheld EMP?

Drop it. Now!

BOZER: This dude's
not crazy enough to trigger

an EMP while he's still

on the plane, is he?

JACK: Riley!
Take the shot!

RILEY:
Have you ever made a mistake

in the field, Jack?Sure.

What happened on that plane

sure wasn't yours. I hesitated, Jack,

and the guy got away.
That's textbook definition

for "it's my fault."

This mistake ended in the loss

of an EMP.

The next mistake you make
like this

could end in the loss

of everything.

♪

Hey, Mac!

You home?

Hey, man.

Where you at?

Yo.

Hey, Mac.

Mac, what are you doing?

Hey. You alive?

External force is always zero.

Huh?

What kind of weird
dreams you having, dude?

I was giving a lecture,

on the, uh...

Lagrangian formulation

of quantum field theory.

Ah.

To a class
full of ten unicorns.

Hmm. Well, aside
from the unicorns--

which are wicked awesome--

sounds like
a frickin' nightmare.

What time is it?

It's 11:00.

What?
Yeah, you know,

I-I figured you were pulling
another all-nighter,

looking for your mystery man.

It's been weeks, and you
still haven't found anything.

I'm starting
to get worried.

You're burning the candle
at both ends here, and for what?

For what

Let's go.

Actually, I found something.

Really?

Yeah.
What?

A name. Charles Pfeffer.

Who?

Charles Pfeffer.

JACK :
This is great.

All right.

Let's just go
track down this fella.

Already tried.
Turns out,

72 years ago, he got off
a boat at Ellis Island,

got a New York I.D. and then...
well, he just disappeared.

There's no employment
or housing records.

Any living family?
Anything like that?

No. No family, nothing.

Yeah.

I thought I'd made
a major breakthrough.

It turns out
it's another dead end.

What are you talking about?
This is great.

This is just another
bump in the road,

and a good opportunity
for the both of us

to start thinking
outside of the box

when it comes
to looking for your dad.

Did you just find
a silver lining in a dead end?

I'm an optometrist.

"Optimist."Whatever. Yeah.

Matty?

Yeah.

Let's go, we're late.

Unicorns. Really?

Yeah.
They were wicked smart, too.

Hey.

Okay. Now that
we are all finally here,

remember that EMP
that we lost?

Of course.Well, we've
just been given

an opportunity
to get it back.

After your encounter
with these guys

on the back of that C-17,

the whole group fell
off the grid.

But 12 hours ago,

we intercepted
chatter suggesting

that they're
setting up a sale.

The EMP is about
to switch hands.

Do we know who the buyer is?

And what they want it for?

Unfortunately, we do not.

However, we do know
exactly when and where

the sale is going down.

JACK: Thatlooks
an awful lot

like a parking garage.

That's because it is
a parking garage, Dalton.

And this particular
parking garage

is located in Seoul,

South Korea.

The sale's being set up for
tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m.,

which means you four
are wheels-up in 20.

Guys.

This is our one shot
to grab that device,

and a bit of redemption.

Make it count.

MacGYVER: Faster, Jack,
they're getting away!

MATTY:
Why do I show you two racing

through Seoul
at 90 miles per hour?

Guys

Do you copy?

H

The buy went bad.

Yeah. Uh,

short version,

it wasn't so much
of a sale as it was

a fatal ambush
where the buyers killed

the sellers and then
split with the EMP.

We're tailing them now.

Watch it!Good. Whatever you do,

do not lose sight
of that device.

Riley, Bozer,
I need to know exactly

who we're chasing.

Get me intel.

Copy that, Matty.

Just as an FYI,
it's a bit of a mess over here.

I'm not asking you
to clean it up, Boze.

Just search it.

We're on it.

Thanks.

JACK: Riley!
Take the shot!

You okay?

Better than he is.

That was him, wasn't it?

You need a minute?

We don't have a minute.

Look, I know this one's
personal for you, Riley.

I remember the way you felt
when we lost the EMP.

It's nice of you to say "we,"
Bozer, but Ilost the EMP.

Ever since he jumped
out of that plane,

I haven't stopped thinking about
all the ways it could be used.

All the lives it could cost
if that gets deployed.

That's on me.

Listen, we're gonna
get it back.

I know we are.

I never thought I'd get a second
chance to get that EMP back.

I'm not going home without it.

♪

Ooh. Ooh, you know,
these G Wagons can get it.

This is some
pretty precision driving.

Spec ops, ambush tactics.

I don't know
who these dudes are,

but they're well-trained.

MacGYVER:
That's the airport up ahead.

And it doesn't look
like they plan on

sticking around
Seoul much longer,

does it?No, it does not.

Put on your safety belt.

It's on.
Put it-- oh.

Well, I don't suppose
you could whip up a set of wings

for this van real quick.

Probably.

But I just thought
of something way faster.

Surprise, surprise.

Hands up, gentlemen.
We are officially

commandeering your vehicle.

Hi.

I'm... really...

really, really sorry about this.

Where are we going?Follow that plane.

JACK:
Let's go!

Fellas, you don't
want to get in here?

Come on.

Hey...

Hey, there we go.

Hey, don't look at me like that.

When I tell people I was
in a high-speed jet chase,

I'm gonna need
some selfies as proof.

Smile.

Hey, there we go.

Aw, that's a good one.

Hey, uh, Matty, any idea

where these guys
are taking the EMP?

MATTY:
I've got our techs

working up a list of every

high-value target
that one could reach

with that kind of jet
and a full tank of gas.

Military bases, nuclear plants,
industrial centers,

basically anywhere that an
electromagnetic pulse could fry

sensitive electronics
and have a devastating impact.

I'm using the jet's
current speed and heading

to eliminate certain targets,

but... there's still
dozens in range.

In other words,
you don't know nothing.

Why don't you just say that--
"I don't know nothing.

Your guess is as good
as anybody else's."

If you're trying
to piss me off, Dalton,

you're doing a bang-up job.

Thank you.
All right, look,

if we can identify these guys,

it'll help us determine
what their target is.

MacGYVER: Riley, any luck
with the sellers' tech?

Nope, not yet.

The sellers' phones
are heavily encrypted.

I'm gonna need some more time
to I.D. the buyers.

JACK:
Riley, Riley,

time is not something
we have in abundance, okay?

A-And quit
calling them "buyers."

Making them sound
all regal and cool.

They're the "shoot everybody,
steal the EMPers,"

that's more accurate.

RILEY:
Thanks, Jack. Very helpful.

You're welcome.

Hey, uh, Matty,

these guys have definitely
changed their heading.

MATTY: Yeah, I see it.
We're recalculating

projected flight path now.

JACK:
What the hell is that?

MacGYVER: Probably
the elderly couple

whose plane
we just commandeered?

Oh. Oh, oh, my gosh,
I forgot all about them.

I'll go back there
and make sure

they know we're
not terrorists.

Hold on, I'm not gonna
let you do that by yourself.

Ow! Oh. What are you doing?
Give me that.

I-I just came back here to
tell you guys not to worry.

We're the good guys.Good guys?

Yeah.You're hijacking our plane!

"Hijack" is
a very strong word, sir.

You forced your way
onto our plane,

you told our pilot where to fly;
what do you call that?

Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the
definition of hijacking.

Thank you very much,
Merriam-Webster.

What are you,
what are you...?Okay, okay.

M-Maybe we did hijack...

...the plane just
a little bit,

but it's a matter
of national security.

We work with
the U.S. government.You understand?

Hey, sonny,

I wasn't born yesterday.

No, sir, that-that's
very apparent,

but it doesn't change the fact
that he's telling the truth.

Yeah?We-we work for Uncle Sam.

We're ex-military...Oh, no.

He's lying, Saul.
Hit him again.

That's not very nice.Now, now, now,
you just wait a minute.

You're not gonna do it,
give me the bottle, I'll do it.

Ah, now, now,
wait a minute.

Just stop it.
If you guys are really

U.S. agents,
where's your badges?

Badges would be nice...

Yeah, we don't exactly
work for an agency

that goes around handing out
I.D.s, but I promise you both,

we're the good guys.Huh?

Well, why should
I believe you?

Because I have a gun
and didn't shoot you.

Now-now that's a fair
point he's making there.

Oh, Saul, are you
out of your mind?It's a very...

What?You're always so trusting.

Stop attacking
my character.

Oh, what about that time
you trusted

your friend Gary
to paint the house?

Gary gave me a good deal
on that paint.Because it was lime green.

There's no such thing as
a good deal on house paint.

Oh, g-go away.
Yes, sir.

Listen here, Edith,
you stop pushing my buttons.

BOZER: Guys, Riley just broke
the sellers' encryption.

Okay, I got a bunch
of e-mails here

between the sellers
and a potential buyer

setting date, time, place.

This has got to be them.

Anything in there
I.D. the buyer?No, but it looks like

the sellers were trying
to do just that.

They were tracing
the buyers' IPs,

trying to slip them spyware.

They weren't able to figure out
who you guys are chasing,

but then again, they didn't have
access to the Phoenix database.

Matty, you seeing this?

One of the buyer's
IP addresses matches a laptop

Phoenix previously
linked to someone named

Javier Morales.

Morales is a former major

in the Unidad de Operaciones
Especiales,

Spain's version
of the Navy SEALs.

Yeah, I called that.

The way they took out
the sellers

had special ops
written all over it, man.

Any idea why this Morales
would want the EMP?

It's hard to say.

Half his file has been redacted.

The other half is a laundry list
of medals and citations

earned in hot spots
on almost every continent.

But those files end
two years ago

when Morales left the military.

What's he been doing since then?

Well, it looks like he went
into business for himself.

And he's been busy
recruiting operators

from elite units
all over the world.

So you're saying Morales
built himself a dream team

of highly trained
operatives?

That's a commando Legion of Doom
right there.

Okay, so now that we know
who we're chasing,

anyone want to guess
where they're going and why?

Guys, Morales's jet just started
gaining altitude.

Can you confirm visually?

Yeah. Matty, these guys
are climbing fast,

but the real
question is why.

SAUL:
They're gonna jump.

What?

That's a spiral climb.

We did dozens of them
in Jump School.

You got your jump wings.

'69 Fort Benning,

75th Infantry, "C" Company.

Fought about two tours
in Vietnam.

So you were Army Rangers?

Rangers always
lead the way, son.

Yes, sir.

Anyway, I'm taking Edith

to all the places
I wrote her letters from

during the war.

Those guys
you're following,

they won't be on that plane
much longer.

He's right, you know.

Yeah, Matty, these guys are
circling which means

they have a specific
landing site in mind.

Well, you're over Shanghai now,

so maybe their target's
in the city.

Mac, Jack, I've got a visual

on six jumpers.

Looks like they're headed
for Dizang Tower.

Guys, track Morales's jet
and have local authorities

meet it wherever it lands.

You don't just halo jump
onto a 128th story building

just to say you did it.

Whatever Morales plans
to do with that EMP,

I think he's about to do it now.

Riley, I need eyes
inside that tower.

Bozer, I need you
to make me a list

of everything in that building
worth all this trouble.

We got to get to
the ground now.

We got to get to the ground,
like, right now.

They already have a really
big head start on us.

Let's go, Captain.
Get us down.

Sorry to be the lone voice
of reason here, fellas,

but we are nowhere near
a runway.

Well, it sounds like
you just became

the master of
improvisation.

Get us down,
Captain, right now.

Now.

You and Edith
should get buckled up.

We're gonna put this thing down
and it's gonna get bumpy.

Gotcha.

Wow, that was easy.
What'd you tell him?

I told him that your wife's
having a baby

at the hospital.Oh. Thanks for the ride.

Jack Jr., here we come.

Hey, Riley, we're
about five minutes out

from, uh, Dinzang, uh...Dizang.

We're about five minutes
out from the tower.

Did Morales and the
Funky Bunch show up yet?

I just got into
the tower security system.

Looking now.

Got them.

They're in
the northeast stairwell

heading down.

They just passed
the 100th floor.

MacGYVER: Bozer, how are
we doing on that list

of potential targets?Uh... good.

A little too good, honestly.

The whole building is filled
with high profile targets.

There's a Japanese embassy,
a military tech company,

six hedge funds,
over a dozen banks.

No way to know what Morales
and his men are gonna hit.

This might narrow it down.

They just exited the stairwell
on the 90th floor.

Yeah, okay, and do we know

what's on the 90th floor
exactly?

BOZER:
No clue. It isn't labeled

on the building's
public directory.

MATTY:
That's because the entire floor

is a private residence.

Belongs to a man
named Ralph Jerico.

You mean Ralph Jerico
the billionaire?

Yeah, man. How many
non-billionaires do you know

that own their own
floor of the building?

The man's made his fortune
in international finance.

He has homes all over the world,

but guess which home
he's in this week?

The one on the 90th floor?

Bingo. He's in town for
the Chinese Economic Summit.

Yeah, so,
what's the deal, Matty?

Are these cats
working for Jerico now?

Are they trying to help him
steal the EMP

As far as I can tell,
Ralph Jerico appears to be

an honest businessman.

Uh, guys, Morales and his men

definitely don't work
for Jerico.

They just took out
two of his guards.

BOZER: And now they're
putting a shaped charge

on his front door.

So what is this?
Is this, is this a hit?

MATTY:
Maybe not.

Jerico's known
for not trusting banks.

He keeps the majority of his
fortune in portable assets,

preferably gold and diamonds.

Looks like he just had
a huge new safe installed

with biometric
and electronic locks.

The kind of lock you need
electromagnetic pulse to beat.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

So this is a heist?

It looks that way.

And I don't know about you,
but I don't want to see

what a man like Morales can do
with millions

in untraceable wealth.

Guys, they're putting all their
electronics in a Faraday bag.

They're gonna blow the EMP.

Hold on to something now.

JACK: Seriously?They're about to send

this whole building
to the Stone Age.

Heads up, people. An EMP just
went off inside Dizang Tower

and I've got
two operatives inside.

The tower may be dark,
but the city is not.

I want live feeds
from every surveillance,

traffic and ATM camera
in the area

and I mean now.
Riley, Bozer,

what's your status?

BOZER:
We're 20 minutes out, Matty.

Hey, hey! Pick
a lane, man!

You know, uh,
depending on traffic.

Okay, Riley, I really need eyes
inside that building.

We are flying blind here.

Yeah, I'm trying, Matty, but
everything in there is fried.

Every camera, every television,
every computer,

everything we could've used

to get our eyes
in that building is dead.

It would take a miracle
for us...

Okay, then you're
just gonna have to

pull off a miracle,
Riley, okay?

Our boys are outgunned,
outnumbered

and literally in the dark.

And our best hope at helping
them survive this is you.

Hey, oh,
wait a minute.

So you're telling me all my
great airplane chase selfies

are just gone?

Yes. An EMP doesn't just
turn off the power, Jack.

Oh, man.
It burns the wires
right off the silicon.

So, anything within the blast
radius that's electronic

is dead forever.

It's not cool, dude.But, hey,

we're doing silver lining
today, right?
Huh?

For once it's not my fault
you need a new phone.

Oh, it's your fault, Angus.

It's always your fault.

All right, so we're 40 floors
below Jerico's penthouse.

Okay, so the
elevator is dead.

Morales and his
slow bus armada

are gonna have to
take the stairwell.

The problem is

we have no earthly idea

which stairwell they're
gonna take, man.

You know what, I don't think
he's gonna take any of them,

at least not yet.What makes you say that?

Well, think about it.

Commandos coming down,
fully tacked up,

carrying bags
of gold and diamonds.

Not exactly low profile.

They'll wait for the
stairwell to clear.

Then they'll
make their move.

Exactly. Which will give us
plenty of time

to go up there
and head them off.

Yeah. Well, w-wait, hey, man.

I ain't running up 40 floors.

Yeah, you are, man.

Fighting the sea of scared
people the whole way up.

You know what? Actually, it's
gonna be easier if we can see.

Let me make something
real quick.

Yeah. That's perfect.

Hey, you know what this
is reminding me of?

Hmm?

Huh?

You know, I was
thinking about it

but I wasn't gonna say anything.

A bunch of terrorists
taking over a high-rise

so they can pull off
a bank robbery? It's...

No, no, no, wait, wait, wait.

If anybody's gonna say it,
it's gonna be me.

Knock yourself out.

It's Die Hard,baby.

Oh, my God.
"Welcome to the party, pal."Crazy.

:
That's crazy.

Well, hold on now.

Hey. We're still
on the mission.

Act professional.Right.

But let's make
Bruce Willis proud.

Let's do it.

Hey, Matty.

I think I just thought of a way

to deliver up that miracle
you asked for.

Now, it's entirely theoretical
because it's never been done

on a scale like this before,
but I think I can...

MATTY:
Riley, don't explain.

Just type fast because I think

Morales's ride is on its way.

"Come out to the coast.
We'll get together,

have a few laughs."

:
Nice.

: Hey.

There's nobody here, man.

They must have already
hit the safe and split.

Well, you were half right.

The safe's still intact.
They didn't even open it.

What?
Yeah.

Well, if they didn't grab
Jerico's diamonds,

then what'd they take?

Whatever it was, they're
about to fly away with it.

Exfil wasn't on the ground,
it was on the roof.

The roof?

No way we're making it to the
roof before that chopper does.

Step aside.

That worked in Die Hard.

Yeah, 'cause that
was a movie.

In real life, skyscraper windows
are heavily reinforced.

Well, I can't tell Riley
we lost that EMP again.

I'm a father figure.

Well, they're gonna be coming
down the staircase now.

We're not gonna make it, Matty.
We're still two blocks out.

Actually, scratch that.

They didn't make it.

Matty, it looks like someone
just cancelled their Uber.

That's gotta be Mac and Jack.

Which means they just bought me
more time to pull this off.

MATTY: Yeah, true,
but they also just announced

their presence in the building.

Morales and his men are
gonna be gunning for them.

Let's just hope Mac's plan
has a step two.

Knowing Mac, it will.

He just hasn't
thought of it yet.

:
I think we just figured out

what stairwell they're in.Yep.

Now we need to quickly,
quickly come up with a way

to stop a commando death squad.

Come on, Jack!
What would John McClane do?

Hey, how about you
lure them down there,

I figure out what they took,
and steal it back?

I love that.Yeah, all right.

Okay, okay.
Hey, Morales!

What's the problem? Did I ruin
your little roof party?

I tell you what,
come on down to 87

and we'll hug it out.

Very McClane.

Just a fly
in the ointment, Hans.

Just a monkey in the wrench.

Hey, hey, hey.
Just a pain in the ass.

We don't have time
for the whole thing.

Yeah, sorry.

One, two, three, four, five.

One more step
and he's dead.

Okay, we're here, Matty.

Looks like security has
evacuated the tenants,

but I don't see any sign of Mac,
Jack, or Morales's men.

Me either. Riley,

how's that miracle coming?

Uh, Matty,

she just threw open the door
and ran out of our SUV.

MATTY: Well, hopefully
whatever it is she's doing

gets us eyes
inside that building.

I need to know what's going on
in there right now.

Don't do anything stupid.

Take one more step
and I pull this trigger.

Look, no one wins
if the kid gets hurt.

Put the gun down.

I'll do it. Back off.
Back off!

Go! Go!

Come with me.

Okay, base antennas are set.

All I have to do is daisy-chain
the surrounding buildings'

Wi-Fi and...
Anything I can
do to help?

Pray.

JACK:
Riley, Bozer

Hey, you copy?

Hell yeah we do, Jack.
Where are you guys?

Uh, 87th floor. I-I think

I'm playing cat and mouse
with these hombres.

I just wet-noodled one
and took his walkie. But, uh,

I have no earthly idea
where Mac is.

We, uh... we had to split up.

Did you get the EMP back?

JACK:
Well, no, not yet.

What about Jerico's
diamonds?

I don't think this is
about diamonds, man.

Jerico's safe was
locked up tight.

Morales must be trying
to steal something else.

I just, uh...

Well, I've been a little busy
to figure that out.

Actually, I think I may
have the answer.

Ralph Jerico just might be
the most heavily insured

person on the planet.

Home, fire, earthquake.

Even a kidnap and ransom policy
he took out

on his only child, Ethan.

As a condition of this sizeable
K&R policy,

Jerico had to agree to chip
his son with a GPS locater.

BOZER:
So Morales uses the EMP

to knock out the chip so
the kid can't be tracked.

This is bad.

Because if they get Ethan
out of the building...

JACK:
Hell yeah this is bad.

We may never see that kid again.

ETHAN:
Hey, let me go!

Hey. Hey. Hey.

You don't have to fight me.
I'm on your side.

Okay.

Now, what's your name?

Ethan Jerico.

And if you hurt me,
my dad will destroy you.

First of all,
I'm not gonna hurt you.

I'm here to save you.
You're welcome.

Second of all,
your dad is Ralph Jerico?

Duh! Who the hell are you?

I'm MacGyver.
I'm here to rescue you.

MacGyver? That doesn't sound
like a real name.

Let's see some I.D.

That's the second time today

someone's asked me for I.D.

Look, Ethan, you're just
gonna have to trust me.

:
Help!

Hey, man,

you want the guys with
the big guns to find us?

Aren't you just
another guy with a gun?

No. Kind of the
opposite, actually.

This is all I carry.

You know those guys
have guns, right?

Like, like big guns, dude.Shh.

Yeah, I noticed.

Okay, look, I'm gonna
get you out of here.

But to do that, I got to think.

And in order to think,
I need to know

that when I turn my back,
you're not gonna scream.

Or run. Because if you do
either one of those,

those guys with the big guns
are gonna catch you again.

And I promise you
you don't want that.

So... we cool?

JERICO:
No, no, no.

I-I know my son's chip
is offline.

I got an alert
the second it happened.

I pay your company
a lot of money to know

exactly where my son is
at all times,

and to keep him
safe at all times.

No, no, I-I don't want excuses.
I want answers.

You're gonna tell me
where my son is right now.

Excuse me,
Mr. Jerico.

I'm sorry, sir,
but this is for you.

This is Jerico. Speak.

Mr. Jerico,
my name is Matilda Webber,

and I work for
the United States government.

20 minutes ago,
a team of six armed men

knocked the power out
in your building

and abducted your son.

Is this a ransom call?

Absolutely not, Mr. Jerico.

I have two operatives
working inside the tower

to save your son,

but we're working with
limited information.

So I need you
to help me figure out

exactly what these
kidnappers want.

Tell me everything that you know

about a man named
Javier Morales.

Okay, if that's who's
behind this,

then... I know exactly
what he wants.

So, Morales is doing all this

to bust his little baby brother
out of prison?

Not just any baby brother.

We're talking about
Rodrigo Morales.

The man is an enemy combatant

wanted by 16 different
governments.

He and Javier used to run their
little commando unit together

until Rodrigo got busted
trying to topple

the Nigerian government.

These do not look
like nice people.

How does Jerico fit
into all this?

Rodrigo is currently

locked up in a Nigerian

supermax prison.

Nigeria is also a country
where Ralph Jerico

has significant business
holdings and political clout.

Morales contacted Jerico

asking him for help,
and Jerico refused.

I guess Morales is done
asking nicely.

So one phone call from him
could end this whole thing?

Yeah, which means releasing
Rodrigo back into the wild,

which ain't exactly a good
thing-- he's a rowdy one.

Matty, did you at least
call Jerico,

tell him not to make
any phone calls

till we confirm
they've got his son?

There's no sense in
giving Morales what he wants

if he doesn't even
have the kid.

I convinced Jerico to give us
a half an hour,

but unless he has proof
that his son is safe

in 29 minutes, 18 seconds
and counting,

he will make that phone call.

So, I need to know where
Mac and Ethan are right now.

I know that, Matty.
I'm not stupid.

But I don't know how to find him
if I don't know where to look.

Hey, Matty, remember
that miracle you asked for?

Check this out.

Did you just X-ray
the entire Dizang Tower?

Sort of.

Since every cam
in the building's fried,

I used Wi-Fi signals
from nearby buildings

to build a radar image
of what's going on in there.

You mean like the thing
Morgan Freeman did

in The Dark Knight?
Yeah.

Before you ask,
that was real.

Yeah, whatever.
Batgirl, use the Bat-thingy

and tell me what floor
he's on, pronto.

RILEY: Unfortunately,
this technique doesn't give us

enough resolution
to make out faces.

But those guys definitely
have machine guns.

And that guy's holding the EMP.

So, if I had to guess,

those two blots heading
straight down an elevator shaft

are Mac and Ethan.

Looks like they're
headed for the lobby.

Lobby!

I'm thirsty.

Can I drink the stuff
in the bottles?

Only if you want
to go to the hospital.

It's not soda, it's hydrogen
peroxide and bleach.

When they mix together,
they form something called

chemical luminescence.

Boring!

So, what, this is,
like, your thing?

You-you make weird stuff
out of other stuff?

That's lame.
You're lame!

Hey, maybe try being
slightly less rude

to the guy saving your life.

Tell you what,
MacGyver.

When you actually do
something cool,

I promise to be impressed.

Hey!

ETHAN:
Now what?

Gotcha.

Okay.
Good?

All right.

Go ahead.

Ooh. Yippee-ki-yay...

Shh! Got a kid present.Sorry.

Who the hell is this old fart

Watch mylanguage?You're the adult.

Yeah, well, watch your mouth,
Curlicue.

I take that back.
Bozer,

I found Mac and the kid.

We're in the lobby;
headed out front.

Pick us up.

Guys, looks like Shanghai SWAT
just got here.

Yeah, well, in that case, Matty,
tell Jerico his kid's safe.

With four minutes
to spare.

ETHAN: What the hell?
What the hell is going on?

That's not Shanghai SWAT.MacGyver...

Hey, change of plans, Matty.

Morales's boys
just took the lobby.

And we just lost
our only way out.

♪

MATTY:
Mac, they are securing

every door and stairwell,

cutting off all exits.

Once that is done,

they are gonna go room to room
until they find you.

Then I guess this
is where we make our stand.

Well, that's
fine with me.

I don't mind making a stand.

But let-let's come up
with a plan so it's not

our last stand.Yeah. On it.

Um... look,

we're gonna get you
out of here, okay?

You're gonna be
with your dad soon.

Not that he'd
even notice.

He's too busy
flying all over the world,

building his empire.

Yeah, well,
just 'cause your dad's busy

doesn't mean
he doesn't care about you.

ETHAN: He had
me chipped

by the same people that put
locators on his cars.

I'm just another possession
to him.

When I was your age,

my dad walked out on me
and he never came back.

And I was angry,
just like you are.So, what?

Now you're gonna tell me
that my dad really loves me

and it's all gonna
get better someday?

No, I'm not gonna tell you that.

I'm just gonna say
that I know how you feel.

It sucks and I'm sorry.JACK: Fellas.

Fellas, fellas.

No one likes an ill-timed
heart-to-heart more than me,

but we have some very aggressive
company coming this way,

and I got one clip
left for this bad boy,

so unless they attack
all lined up in a row

for me just to take 'em out
at once,

this ammunition
limitation's

gonna be a problem. Capisce?That's it.

Huh? Ow.
That's it.

Ah?We're gonna take 'em all out
at once. It's brilliant.

Huh Y-You want
to fill us in here?

All right, so...

This is a light ballast.

I need as many of these
as we can find.
Okay, okay.

Here. You take that.You want me to do this?

Yes. Take it.
In the lights. Go.

Oh, yes.

JACK: Yeah, uh,
obviously,

I understand
what you're building,

as usual, but...
but what about

Small Fry here?
You know?

It's a teachable
moment, here.

I know what a Faraday cage is,
dumbass.

Hey, watch
your mouth, kid.

Starting to like this kid.

And, uh, yes, Ethan,
it is a Faraday cage.

Which will shield
whatever's inside of it

from the electrical energy
outside of it.

Obviously.

But I-I don't understand
how a far away cage

i-is gonna stop a group
of highly-trained killers

from bearing down
upon us with...

with automatic weapons
and ill intent.

You let him carry a gun?Watch your mouth.

It's a Faraday cage, Jack,
and it's not.

It's just gonna keep us
from getting electrocuted.

Electrocuted?
Yes.

But I-I thought you said

the EMP knocked
all of the electricity

out of the
building.

No. It fried all the electronics

in the building.
Oh.

The city's electrical grid
is still going strong.

And since we are
on the first floor,

which means...
we still have power.

Oh, good.
Let's kill those bastards.

Easy there, Chucky.No, no, I'm with him.

Relax. We're just gonna
knock 'em out

long enough
for the cavalry to come.

You Webber's people?

Where's my son?

RILEY:
We don't know.

All right,
your half hour's up.

I'm making the call.

ETHAN:
Dad?

Dad, I-I don't know
if you can hear this, but...

I got separated from the guys
who were trying to save me.

I'm hiding.

In an accounting office
on the first floor.

Are you there

Dad

♪

What happens if
your Faraday cage doesn't work?

As a friend once said, then the
rest of the day is gonna suck.

JACK:
Indeed.

There they are.

Don't move.

Now!
Now.

Whoa!

Now that was cool!Hell yeah it was!

Language.JACK: Hey, have you
heard him talk?

He's a little wolf cub.

Damn right I am.
See?

Dad!

Daddy!
Ethan!

Oh, gosh!

Oh...Daddy.

Oh...

Oh. You okay?

Yeah.
Yeah?

Oh, I thought I lost you.

You probably would have...

if it wasn't for this guy.

That's MacGyver.

He's really weird, but...

he's also kind of cool.

JERICO:
MacGyver.

Thank you so much
for saving my son.

Of course.If there's anything
I can do to repay you...

Uh, no.

You don't owe me anything.

Actually,
you know what?

There is one thing.

Spend more time with your son.

Make him
a priority.

He's a good kid.

He's got a mouth on him,
but he's a good kid.

But for him to
grow into the man

that you want him to be,
you gotta be around.

So try not to
lose him again.

You may never get him back.

Trust me.

Thank you.See you around, Curlicue.

See you around, old fart.What?

JACK: It's
not that...

I got the EMP back!

Nice!

Mac fried it to smithereens,

but I did get it back.

Bravo.
Hey.

Yes. Bravo.

Yeah, a-and happy trails,
Morales.

I can't believe none of
you guys got that reference.

What reference?

Die Hard?

"Happy trails, Hans!"

Yeah, never seen it, Jack.

Wait a minute.
You've never seen Die Hard?

Of course I've seen Die Hard,
Jack.

Just wanted to see

if I could make your head
explode. Almost did.

It was pretty close.

JACK: After today,
I got a whole new respect

for John McClane,
I'll tell you that much.

Should I get the fire pit going?

Maybe order some food?

Nah.

I'm tired.

Gonna hit the hay.

Get some sleep.

Sleep, huh?

Sure you're not
just gonna spend another night

hunting for your dad?

Jack didn't tell you?

Photo was a dead end.

He did. But since when has
a dead end ever stopped you?

Fair enough. You got me.

I was gonna go through the
whole dossier all over again.

I just don't understand

why my dad would go through
all the trouble

of sending me the photo if there
wasn't some puzzle hidden in it

I was supposed to figure out.

And then I wonder, why
all the cloak

If he had something
he wanted to tell me,

why not just pick up the phone
and call?

Well, that question
I can answer.

Your dad always believed
the best way to learn something

was to figure it out
for yourself.

Like the time I asked
for a computer

and he gave me two college-level
books on how to build my own?

This may sound weird,
Mac, but...

I always thought that stuff

was your dad's way of saying
"I love you."

Never thought about it
like that.

And do you remember
what my dad used to say?

Every night?

"Go to bed. Now.

And if you can't sleep,
pretend to"?

You should really listen to him.

Pops has always been a wise man.
