‫So, when you said you'd be in ‫town and you wanted to see me

‫I didn't think you ‫.meant a stakeout

‫.I know. My bad

‫.But it's nice to have backup

‫? Oh, so I'm backup

‫.Super sexy backup

‫.Mm-hmm

‫Just think of it as a taste

‫of what it'd be like to ‫.work with the Coltons

‫.I told you I'd think about it

‫Sooner or later you're gonna ‫.have to give me an answer

‫? Jack, what are you doing here

‫.Hey, we had an agreement

‫Same time, same ‫: place, once a week

‫.Skee-Ball and pizza

‫.Okay? Y-You were a ‫no-show .I got worried

‫So I had one of the ‫many nerds in the lab

‫.trace your cell phone. ‫Sorry, Jack .That's my bad

‫.I asked Riley to hang with me ‫.lt's not your fault, Billy

‫Well, I tried to ‫, leave you a message

‫but someone's voice ‫.mail was full

‫.Oh, okay. I'm sorry

‫Yeah, I got so many ‫, new cell phones

‫I can't even keep ‫.up with messages

‫So

‫what's better than ‫? Skee-Ball and pizza

‫.JACK: Yeah, let's go, let's go

‫I'm always up for ‫.some bounty hunting

‫.Oh. Oh, I know that look

‫? Am I the third wheel ‫.I mean, I get it

‫There ain't nothing ‫.cool about a tricycle

‫I can head out

‫.I like the solitude

‫Wait, Matty wants ‫.to see me ASAP

‫I didn't get a ‫.message from Matty

‫Well, maybe she tried to ‫.leave you a voice mail, too

‫Well, we'll clear ‫.this up right now

‫Looks like I got ‫.some free time

‫Well, since Jack's free

‫, and you just lost your backup

‫.why don't you two... you know

‫? Work together

‫.Oh, I like the sound of that Yeah. ‫Yeah, I like

‫.where this is going. Okay

‫You boys have fun. Don't ‫.you worry about that

‫.Behave.Uh-huh

‫Mm-hmm. Those were

‫? You mind if I hop up front

‫! Be my guest. Yeah

‫.Sorry to cut your date short

‫? Wasn't a date. It wasn't

‫No. Billy didn't fly ‫? Into town to see you

‫? Did you guys break up

‫.Wait, what? Folks

‫.Work brains. Timely crisis

‫As compelling as this soap ‫.opera is, we have a situation

‫ln the last 48 ‫, hours, two bombs

‫both made from ‫, transparent explosives

‫.detonated in Morocco

‫I thought transparent ‫explosives

‫were still in the ‫.theoretical phase

‫Oh, I'd say we're well beyond ‫.the theoretical phase, Mac

‫The first bomb

‫took out a weapons ‫.manufacturing plant

‫The second destroyed a ‫.government training facility

‫BOZER: Okay, for those ‫of us who aren't experts

‫? In kaboom

‫Uh, transparent bombs are ‫.cutting-edge explosives

‫, They're made from thin ‫see-through, volatile material

‫that can be molded ‫.to cover any object

‫.MATTY: A-plus, blondie

‫Two weeks ago, three labs

‫at three different science and ‫.tech firms were broken into

‫, The material stolen ‫, when combined

‫gave the thieves ‫everything they needed

‫to build the world's first ‫.two transparent bombs

‫? Well, do we have any suspects

‫.Meet Kyle, Caroline, and Nick

‫All three were students ‫.at Western Tech

‫, After graduation

‫each went to work for one ‫of the three R & D firms

‫.that was just robbed

‫So these three are ‫? Working together

‫No. And this is where ‫.it gets strange

‫They all graduated ‫, different years

‫and as far as we ‫can tell, they never

‫crossed paths at ‫.school or after

‫How do three people

‫who have never come in ‫contact with each other

‫manage to build a high

‫48 hours before the ‫, thefts took place

‫all three received e-mails ‫giving them the green light

‫.to proceed with their mission

‫So someone's recruiting sleeper ‫.agents out of Western Tech

‫.MATTY: It appears so

‫, And we have no idea who

‫, because after Caroline, Kyle ‫, and Nick completed their task

‫.all three were murdered

‫.Damn. That's just cold

‫None of these students ‫seem like the type

‫, to betray their country

‫? So how did they get recruited

‫, Maybe these three, at first

‫thought that they ‫were being recruited

‫into a collegiate ‫.secret society

‫.Like Yale's Skull and ‫Bones MATTY: The only thing

‫we know for sure ‫about whoever's

‫pulling the strings is that ‫they're sending e-mails

‫, from the Western Tech campus

‫which is why, as of ‫, a half an hour ago

‫the four of you ‫have been accepted

‫as transfer students ‫.to Western Tech

‫.Congratulations

‫Wait, so let me ‫.get this straight

‫? We're going back to college

‫.That's correct, Bozer

‫.But let me be clear. Yes

‫This is not about keg ‫.stands or rush parties

‫The four of you are ‫going undercover

‫to smoke out a skilled handler

‫who's building an army ‫.of domestic terrorists

‫.Are we clear? ALL: Yes, ma'am

‫.BOZER: Man

‫.This is dope ‫.Like, really dope

‫? Think he's excited ‫.Maybe a tad

‫.Pace yourself, Bozer

‫.You don't seem as excited, Mac

‫lt's just weird ‫.being back on campus

‫Don't know what ‫.I was expecting

‫I dropped out before I finished ‫.so I could join the Army

‫Hmm. Better enlisted ‫.than incarcerated

‫I went to a supermax ‫.instead of college

‫Well, I loved college. Some ‫.of the best years of my life

‫.You went to film school, Bozer

‫.That definitely doesn't count

‫? What about you, Leanna

‫.Uh, you mean Ms ‫? Track Scholarship

‫You say that like ‫.it's a bad thing

‫.Not bad, just boring

‫? Weren't you studying ‫all the time .Yeah

‫Because I had to ‫.keep up my GPA

‫.Not a ton of time for parties

‫, Just me, my books ‫.and a lot of coffee

‫.Like I said: boring ‫? You know what

‫.Aw, I'm joking

‫What do you say we make ‫up for that right now

‫and try to get expelled ‫? On our first day

‫.Okay, now. Clear to enter

‫.Wait, guys, stop

‫Two rubber guns about ‫.to round the corner

‫.: Here, get to cover

‫.Um, we'll create a distraction

‫.You get to the server room

‫.Dude! We did it. Hey, you two

‫? What are you guys doing here ‫.This is a secure building

‫.Pledge chair's gonna be pissed ‫.I told you this was a bad idea

‫Oh, you told me? You're ‫the one who bragged

‫he could get into any ‫.building on campus

‫.And guess what? I did ‫.We're inside. Yeah

‫.I can't wait for pledge ‫week to be over .Let's go

‫But it's his... but it

‫? Can you put himin jail

‫Then this Terry Crews-looking ‫, dude grabbed me

‫.and I think he bruised my ‫clavicle .That's your clavicle

‫Were you able to ‫? Access the server room

‫Yeah. I hard-lined in

‫.and confirmed Matty was right

‫Whoever's been sending ‫these recruitment e-mails

‫.is definitely on this campus

‫But that's where ‫.the good news ends

‫? So you couldn't identify them

‫No. Digitally, there's ‫.no way to track them

‫More bad news: I ‫.found more e-mails

‫.How many more? A lot

‫Each one mobilizing ‫a former student

‫to either steal bomb components ‫.or carry out an attack

‫So those two transparent bombs ‫.weren't an isolated event

‫.No, not even close

‫Someone's been ‫recruiting students

‫, every time a message goes out

‫an attack happens less ‫.than 24 hours later

‫.Guys, we uncovered a pattern

‫MacGYVER: Yeah. A pattern

‫we could use to ‫connect this ring

‫to a decade's worth ‫.of unsolved bombings

‫The recruiter has been at ‫, Western Tech at least that long

‫.so it can't be a student

‫I've had our techs start ‫looking into the profiles

‫of every staff and faculty

‫.member there with this in mind

‫.We've come up with a suspect

‫, Elliot Lambeau

‫Professor of Material ‫.Science and Engineering

‫Material science... that means ‫he'd have the, uh, knowledge

‫and skill needed to make transparent ‫bombs. BOZER: And look, he's been

‫arrested a dozen times since ‫he started teaching here

‫.at protests that turned ‫violent LEANNA: And a lot

‫of the graduates ‫involved in these attacks

‫.took his class over the years

‫.This has got to be our guy ‫.We should pay him a visit

‫.He just started a lecture

‫Mac, go sit in on his class ‫.and get a read on him

‫The rest of you, go find me ‫.evidence he's our recruiter

‫The stress parallel ‫to the slope

‫that pulls the object ‫in the downslope

‫direction parallel ‫.to the slope

‫? So... Excuse me

‫? Do you have a cell phone

‫.Um... yeah

‫? Do you need it

‫, And on that phone on the top ‫? Right in the middle is what

‫The... The answer I'm ‫.looking for is a clock

‫So there was no reason ‫for you to be 32 minutes

‫?...late to my lecture, Mister

‫.MacGyver. Mm. Come here

‫.Come over here

‫Since you didn't think it was ‫, important to join us on time

‫I can only assume ‫that you've already

‫mastered the engineering ‫.principles of slope stability

‫So, there is an

‫object at the ‫.bottom of this box

‫I want you to retrieve it ‫.using those principles

‫MacGYVER: Um

‫with all due respect, there's ‫.an easier way to do this

‫Using the principles

‫of fluidization, I can ‫, "liquefy" the sand

‫which is a lot quicker

‫than if I used the principles ‫.of slope stability

‫.Hmm

‫Well, that's certainly ‫.one way to do it

‫.But it's not the correct way

‫.Go take a seat

‫Okay, Matty, we're ‫.in Lambeau's office

‫MATTY: Guys, hurry up. His ‫.class will be over soon

‫.LEANNA: Hold up, Bozer

‫.That one's wired

‫lf you open it, an ‫.alarm will go off

‫.Okay. No problem

‫.I got this

‫.Let's see

‫? Did you learn that from Mac

‫.Nope

‫Learned this little trick

‫while working on ‫.a student film

‫.Heist movie

‫Guess film school was good ‫.for something after all

‫I hope there's something ‫, incriminating on that computer

‫Riley, 'cause all we got here ‫.are tests waiting to be graded

‫You know, this Victor guy ‫.doesn't seem that bad

‫All he's got's a ‫.few petty thefts

‫Yeah, and then he graduated ‫to robbing convenience stores

‫, and stealing cars. Actually

‫you mean convenience "store" and ‫,"car," both singular. Felonies

‫for sure, but it's not like

‫this guy's a ‫hardened war criminal

‫or an international terrorist ‫.or anything like that

‫Look, the flavor of a ‫.criminal doesn't matter

‫.A criminal is a criminal

‫That's not

‫ln my experience, it ‫.isn't always the case

‫.Now listen to this

‫lt says here that Victor's ‫, dad died when he was 12

‫and his mother had

‫, Oh, my gosh I ‫mean, his mother had

‫, a litany of problems, so

‫this kid had no parental ‫.guidance whatsoever

‫? I mean, what's gonna happen

‫.Tell me. Huh? Trouble

‫All right, you're reading ‫.too far into this

‫You mind if I give you ‫.a piece of advice? Sure

‫.Don't humanize the skip

‫.lt only makes the job harder

‫.Now this guy jumped bail

‫, I was hired to hunt him down ‫.not figure out why he did it

‫And is this super ‫detached emotional thing

‫something you ‫, apply only to work

‫? Or in your personal life

‫Now, is this your clever way

‫of asking about my ‫? Relationship with Riley

‫.Give that man a gold star

‫I knew you were a ‫.smart guy, Billy

‫? So, are you two exclusive

‫Yeah, as far as I'm ‫.concerned, we are

‫And do you see ‫, a future in this

‫? Or are you just having fun

‫Look, Jack... I ‫would encourage you

‫to choose your words ‫.very carefully

‫Now, that-that's ‫.my little girl

‫.I care for Riley... a lot

‫And I take this ‫.relationship very seriously

‫So much so that I convinced ‫.my mama to offer her a job

‫Wait, the Coltons ‫? Offered Riley a job

‫? There. In Louisiana

‫? When did this happen? What

‫.You know, Riley, the job interview ‫.Jack, we got to cut him off

‫.Well, answer the question

‫.I'll stay on him, you go ‫around .Answer the question

‫[[car door closes, engine revs

‫!? Billy? Jack, what the hell

‫I told you to go around ‫.so we could cut him off

‫.My bad

‫MATTY: Guys, Professor ‫.Lambeau's class just ended

‫Please tell me you're ‫.wrapping this up

‫.Whoa, whoa, whoa ‫.Hold on, hold on

‫.I found something

‫.He's got a hidden bank account

‫Whoa. That's way more

‫than even a tenured ‫.professor should be making

‫MATTY: Could be the funding

‫.for his recruitment operation

‫Riley, can you ‫? Source this money

‫Yeah, I can, but it's ‫.gonna take some time

‫.Mac, stall him

‫Professor, I'd ‫like to apologize

‫.for being late to the lecture

‫I appreciate ‫.that, Mr. MacGyver

‫: You know

‫that was a pretty ‫.advanced trick you pulled

‫Most students barely ‫, have an answer

‫let alone show up the professor

‫after being put on ‫.the spot in class

‫I wasn't trying to ‫show you up, but

‫just thinking outside of ‫.the box is kind of my thing

‫Mm-hmm. Why haven't ‫? I seen you before

‫I actually just transferred ‫.from State, so... Uh-huh

‫And you clearly have a ‫.grasp of the material

‫? Why are you taking the course

‫All of your other ‫lectures were full

‫and you and I share interests ‫.in a lot of the same causes

‫? Do we

‫.Yeah

‫Well, we're gonna have to ‫.pick this up on Monday

‫Uh, it would be great if I could ‫.ask you a few more questions

‫Well, um... no, ‫I really .I have to go

‫lt would be better ‫.if you stayed

‫? Mac, was that an explosion

‫Uh, yeah. Lambeau tried ‫.to make a run for it

‫.I said stall him, not stun him

‫.Well, I did both ‫.He'll be fine

‫? But is he our guy ‫.He was acting shady

‫Tried to hit me ‫.with a microscope

‫RILEY: Well, there's ‫.a reason for that

‫He is guilty, just not of ‫.recruiting sleeper agents

‫He's been embezzling ‫department funds

‫to funnel to his ‫.radical causes

‫.Explains why he ran

‫He must have thought you ‫.were an undercover cop, Mac

‫.So we're back at square one

‫.Actually, it's worse than that

‫While we were ‫, looking into Lambeau

‫.I just got another alert

‫Our recruiter just sent ‫.out another e-mail

‫Which means something's going ‫.down in the next 24 hours

‫, MATTY: All right ‫people, tell me we ID'd

‫the student that received

‫.the recruiter's latest e-mail

‫The closest I can get ‫is pinpointing the hub

‫on the network where ‫.the e-mail was opened

‫, Which should lead us to a dorm ‫which would help us narrow down

‫.our suspects

‫There. I got a ‫.physical address

‫? Which dorm is it

‫.That's not a dorm

‫That's the Zeta ‫.Kappa Tau frat house

‫Most likely, our ‫e-mail recipient

‫.is a member of that frat

‫So, if we can ‫identify them, it may

‫lead us to whoever ‫.sent the e-mail

‫.The Zetas have 16 members

‫Any one of 'em could have ‫.received that e-mail

‫Okay, how do we figure out

‫which frat brother ‫? Is the right brother

‫We just need to find the one

‫.with this e-mail on his computer ‫.LEANNA: Easier said than done

‫We can't just waltz ‫to the front door

‫and expect to get private time ‫.alone with all 16 computers

‫, Actually, we can. Tonight ‫the house'll be packed. Should

‫give Riley enough cover to slip ‫.in and search the computers

‫.lt'll give us all enough cover

‫.You guys can help me search

‫All we have to do is plug one ‫.of these into each computer

‫I can program these to ‫auto-run a search for

‫.the recruiter's e-mail address

‫, LEANNA: Look, Simon ‫, if you don't talk

‫you're gonna be charged ‫with domestic terrorism

‫You ever been ‫? Inside one of those

‫Guys like you ‫.don't do too well

‫.I-I don't understand

‫How can I be charged with ‫domestic terrorism? I

‫.I've been working with the CIA

‫I'm sorry, did this ‫? Dude just say CIA

‫.Yes. They recruited me

‫Okay, if that's the ‫case, what's the name

‫of the agent you've ‫? Been working with

‫.I-I was never given a name

‫? Okay, what does he look like

‫.I have no idea

‫I was supposed to meet him ‫.for the first time tonight

‫.I was picking up a package

‫.He's talking about a bomb

‫The recruiter's ‫.planning another attack

‫Where was this meeting ‫? Supposed to be taking place

‫.Uh, I don't know. ‫I don't know Um

‫But my-my contact e-mailed ‫.me GPS coordinates

‫I'm supposed to be there ‫.in, like, 20 minutes

‫.He's telling the truth

‫Well, then, we need to ‫.get to this meeting now

‫! I'm the king of the world

‫.MacGYVER: Bozer, get down

‫? You know what

‫Suddenly, I don't ‫.feel so great

‫Leanna, can you ‫? Maybe slow down

‫lf we're gonna ID ‫, Simon's contact

‫.fast is the only option

‫We are ten minutes ‫.late already

‫Leanna, you can't go ‫? Any faster, can you

‫My foot is literally ‫.on the floor, Mac

‫Riley, any luck with ‫? The cameras in the area

‫No. The only one ‫is three miles away

‫.from these GPS coordinates

‫This location was ‫.chosen for a reason

‫Here you go. The ‫CIA just confirmed

‫.what we already suspected

‫There's no officially ‫sanctioned Agency ops

‫.running out of Western Tech

‫This is a "false ‫.flag" operation

‫So Simon's contact is ‫pretending to be CIA

‫to trick students into ‫.betraying the U.S

‫Okay, guys, satellite's ‫.up, but perimeter's empty

‫.There's nobody there

‫.We missed the meeting

‫, When Simon didn't show

‫they must've assumed ‫.he'd been exposed

‫So we just lost our best chance

‫.to catch this guy

‫? Now what

‫, I dunno about you three

‫but I'm gonna try ‫.really hard to not puke

‫.No, that way. No

‫.Oh, man

‫I'm having that dream ‫.about the woods again

‫.MATTY: It's not a dream, Bozer

‫This is where Western Tech's ‫Meteorology Department

‫conducts its ‫.weather experiments

‫.Hey. Look

‫There. That's a ‫.weather balloon

‫BOZER: Maybe, or maybe ‫.it's an alien orb

‫MacGYVER: Trust ‫.me, it's a balloon

‫And that one should be able to ‫.tell us who was here earlier

‫Leanna, I'm gonna need ‫.you to start the car

‫.Good job

‫.I hate balloons, ‫too .And clouds

‫.Okay, Mac, I'll bite

‫Other than pissing off ‫, a few meteorology nerds

‫what's popping that ‫? Thing gonna do

‫Well, weather balloons ‫.can do a lot of things

‫lncluding: suspend ‫a thermal camera

‫high above a corn field

‫to measure the heat ‫.impact on crop yields

‫, This camera, every ten seconds

‫, was snapping a high ‫wide-angle thermal photo

‫of the field, including the ‫, road that runs through it

‫to show the progression ‫.of sun damage on crops

‫And since this is the ‫, only road out here

‫whoever was meeting Simon ‫.must've driven down it

‫Exactly. There may ‫be a photo on here

‫that can help us ‫.ID our recruiter

‫Guys, this car drove up ‫, right before Simon's meeting

‫parked for five ‫.minutes and then left

‫.Gotta be his contact

‫Does everyone else see a red ‫? Squiggly shape or is it just me

‫No, it's not just you, but ‫we might be able to use

‫that red squiggly shape to ‫.help us ID Simon's contact

‫Yeah, look at the ‫.heat signature

‫There's no engine. It's ‫.running off a battery

‫lt's an electric ‫.vehicle.Uh-huh

‫Matty, can, uh, you ‫run the chassis shape

‫and see if you can get ‫? A make and a model

‫lf we do get a hit we ‫can cross-reference it

‫with staff and ‫.faculty vehicles

‫I can, but it might ‫.take some time

‫Right now, it's ‫.our only option

‫.MATTY: All right ‫.Stand by for a name

‫BILLY: The guy I spoke with ‫said Victor's headed down here

‫to sell some stuff ‫.for some quick cash

‫, But if he doesn't turn up

‫Mama's gonna be ‫.pissed you lost him

‫? So

‫She really doesn't like when ‫.people mess with her money

‫Well, you tell Mama I ‫really don't like it

‫when people mess ‫.with my family

‫And I consider offering ‫Riley a job behind my back

‫.messing with my family ‫.She's with us now

‫, Okay, for the record ‫.that wasn't my intent

‫I just... I don't want ‫to think about a future

‫.that doesn't involve Riley

‫.Well, join the club

‫.Riley's amazing

‫lf she wants to have ‫, a future with you

‫.consider yourself very lucky

‫.I agree with you, Jack

‫But you do realize she's ‫? Not a little girl, right

‫And whatever Riley decides

‫, for her future ‫.that's her decision

‫.Mm-hmm

‫.Okay, there's Victor

‫Okay. Can we please be on ‫? The same page this time

‫, Oh, yeah, you chase him down ‫.I'll cut him off. That's right

‫♪

‫.Hey, Victor

‫Don't, don't do anything ‫stupid and make this situation

‫.worse than it already is now

‫Be smart. If you ‫turn yourself in

‫.we'll clear all this up

‫.Y-You gotta let me go, man. ‫Please .Look, I had to do it

‫That's what guys in ‫your position say

‫to guys in my ‫.position all the time

‫.Yeah. I'm sure they do

‫But, look, if you take me in

‫I don't know what'll ‫.happen to her

‫? Happen to who

‫.My mom

‫? What's the matter with her

‫.24-hour care isn't cheap

‫She's so behind ‫, in payments as is

‫.I just... I needed that money

‫I need the money ‫.to get her square

‫Look, I'm trying to ‫.sell everything I can

‫.That's why I came here

‫And I got friends, ‫they owe me money and

‫lf I can just get that money

‫, and pay off her bills

‫.I will turn myself in

‫.I swear

‫24

‫.Yes, sir

‫.Go on. Get out of here

‫.Hey, hey

‫.Take care of your mom

‫.Go on. Thank you

‫.Jack

‫? Yeah. What are you doing ‫? Did he come this way

‫.No, no, no. I came around ‫the corner .I seen this

‫So he... I don't know ‫.He must've doubled back

‫.No, he didn't

‫.He didn't

‫? You sure you didn't see him

‫? You sure youdidn't see him

‫.Yeah, no, I'm-I'm positive

‫.All right, come on

‫lf we hurry, he might ‫.still be in this area. Yeah

‫.Yeah, okay

‫, MATTY: Julian Sloane

‫, I'm Matilda Webber

‫and I work for an agency ‫.you never heard of

‫You have a lot of explaining ‫.to do, Ms. Webber

‫Your people just kidnapped ‫.me off the street

‫Oh, you want to play ‫.private citizen? Fine

‫But you're not really a ‫, citizen of this country

‫? Are you, Mischa Burov

‫.Born in Moscow, 1963

‫.Joined the KGB in 1981

‫ln 1985, you were sent

‫.to the States to recruit spies

‫And in 1986, you applied

‫to the Western Tech ‫Admissions Department

‫.under the name Julian Sloane

‫You were hired

‫and since worked your way up

‫.to head of admissions

‫, Then, in '91 ‫.the USSR crumbled

‫? So, what did you do

‫You turned your ‫recruitment ring

‫into a private ‫.moneymaking operation

‫Working in the admissions ‫department gave you

‫access to students' ‫, profiles and records

‫allowing you the opportunity to ‫handpick who you wanted to admit

‫.and recruit

‫.A nice story

‫.But it's just a story

‫Except it isn't. I've ‫got ten years of e-mails

‫sent from your account ‫to your student recruits

‫.ordering dozens of bombings

‫LEANNA: Bombings that ‫directly correlate

‫to deposits made into your ‫.offshore bank account. Oh, yeah

‫.We found that, too

‫Your last three ‫deposits all came

‫from the same place, which ‫tells me that you were hired

‫.to set off three bombs

‫.Two already detonated

‫? So where's the third, Mischa

‫We know you didn't make ‫.the handoff to Simon

‫And there's no bomb in your ‫.car, your office, or your home

‫Which means you ‫.planted it yourself

‫The only way to stay out of ‫jail for the rest of your life

‫is to tell us where that third ‫.bomb is before it goes off

‫? What was Simon's target

‫.Turn on the news at 9:00

‫All your questions ‫.will be answered

‫MATTY: It's just after 8:00 ‫a.m., which gives us less

‫than an hour before that ‫.third bomb goes off

‫.That's just not a lot of time

‫GPS in Sloane's car ‫.has been turned off

‫There's no way to ‫.tell where he's been

‫The, uh, time stamp on the ‫, weather balloon photos

‫it said that Sloane drove away ‫,.from the cornfield at 2:00 a.m

‫.and we grabbed him at 7:00 a.m

‫So he drove two and half ‫hours max to the target

‫.and two and a half hours back

‫The list of potential ‫.targets is massive

‫Okay, let's review ‫.what we already know

‫The students involved ‫in these attacks

‫used their employee access

‫to sneak the bombs ‫.into the buildings

‫? What did Simon have access to

‫Well, he's a Chinese and ‫.business double major

‫Did a semester abroad

‫interning at the ‫.Shanghai National Bank

‫Shanghai doesn't ‫.fit our timetable

‫No. But the Shanghai ‫National Bank does have

‫a corporate services branch

‫located on the 20th ‫floor of a building

‫.half an hour from Western Tech

‫Well, that's got ‫.to be the target

‫, RILEY: Without Simon's access ‫Sloane couldn't have snuck

‫.his bomb into the bank ‫? So where'd he hide it

‫MATTY: Probably somewhere in the ‫.building he could easily access

‫? Like the lobby

‫.Like the lobby. Go. Now

‫.RILEY: Damn it

‫.I can't see it anywhere

‫lsn't that the whole point ‫? Of a transparent bomb

‫lt can't be seen ‫? To the naked eye

‫BOZER: Yeah, but ‫.it's not invisible

‫Got to be some way to ‫.detect it, right There is

‫lt's called an induced ‫.secondary emission generator

‫Do all those big words mean

‫? "" Transparent bomb finder

‫.Pretty much

‫, When I pass this over the bomb

‫, it will shoot ions at it

‫.causing it to glow orange

‫The fire department's ‫.on its way

‫? How far out are you guys

‫.Yep. We are nearly there

‫Mac, you have 20 minutes

‫to find that bomb ‫.before it goes off

‫.So, no pressure

‫.Thanks

‫♪

‫BOZER: There's 28 ‫.floors in here

‫We'll never get ‫.everybody out in time

‫Well, then I guess ‫it comes down to Mac

‫.and his bomb detector ‫.LEANNA: Come on

‫.Everybody. Out

‫.We got 12 minutes, ‫Mac .Not helping

‫, I hate to say this ‫but are we sure

‫? We picked the right building

‫, At least if we die

‫.I'm spared a massive hangover

‫Yeah, that's a ‫.bright side, I guess

‫.Wait a second, I got it

‫.lt's right here ‫? Can you disarm it

‫No way. There's too ‫.many redundancies

‫.lf I try, I could set it off

‫What about trying to contain

‫.the blast? No

‫There's just too ‫.much explosive

‫.Wait, this is a green building

‫.Okay

‫.Means there are solar panels

‫ls anyone else

‫? Following this

‫? Ls this lobby spinning

‫.We got to get to the roof. Now

‫.LEANNA: Come on

‫He's just not gonna tell ‫? Us what he's doing, is he

‫He could, but it'd be ‫.all weird and nerdy

‫Solar panels have ‫.hydrogen fuel cells

‫I'm gonna use 'em to ‫.get rid of the bomb

‫? Can you do it fast ‫.We got two minutes

‫♪

‫MacGYVER: Come ‫.on, get up there

‫.Higher

‫.Higher

‫.Come on, come on

‫.Higher

‫That would've looked so ‫.much prettier at night

‫♪

‫!: Hey

‫? Not so boring now, huh

‫.Drink up. Thank you. Yeah

‫.All right

‫? There. Okay? Everybody happy

‫.All right

‫? Whoa. MacGYVER: What was that

‫.My equilibrium's off

‫.MacGYVER: Dude, it's soda, ‫not beer .You have no excuse

‫? Really, guys

‫Whose idea

‫was it to play beer pong

‫? With soda

‫I've had enough beer ‫.for one lifetime

‫.Thank you

‫You want to get ‫? In on this, boss

‫.First things first

‫We were able to ‫connect the dots

‫between the two attacks in ‫.Morocco and Shanghai National

‫Turns out the ‫Moroccan government

‫was doubling its efforts ‫to fight terrorism

‫and secured a loan ‫at the Chinese bank

‫to fund both a weapons ‫development facility

‫and a training center for ‫.their anti-terrorist troops

‫Oh, so a local radical group

‫was trying to hurt the ‫government's efforts

‫.to stop terrorism

‫Yeah. And they hired Sloane

‫to maintain control ‫.over the region

‫, But when they failed ‫.they all went on the run

‫Which is good news ‫.for us and Morocco

‫LEANNA: So what's gonna happen

‫to the students that ‫? Sloane recruited

‫Phoenix agents have already ‫.started to round them up

‫But they're victims ‫, in this, too

‫so they're all gonna ‫.need to be debriefed

‫.Hey

‫? What happened yesterday

‫.Billy said you lost the skip

‫.Yeah

‫Yeah, well, sometimes they're ‫.a step faster, I guess

‫First chance you ‫get to be a Colton

‫and a bail jumper gets the ‫? Best of Jack Dalton, huh

‫I'm okay with not ‫.being a Colton

‫? Really

‫.Mm-hmm

‫What can I say, I guess

‫skip chasing just ‫.ain't my thing

‫.Hmm

‫.Dig that T-shirt, by the way

‫.Yeah

‫, Geez

‫Bozer, what's up? You ‫look like the south end

‫.of a northbound mule

‫.Thanks, Jack

‫The good news is

‫I feel the south end of

‫.whatever you said, ‫too .Mm, mm, mm

‫, Hey, blondie

‫.I've got something for you

‫.Really

‫.Well, this one's not from me

‫ln light of everything ‫, you did for Western Tech

‫the administration ‫.wanted you to have this

‫You are no longer ‫.a college dropout

‫.Aw

‫You know what they say ‫? About diplomas, don't you

‫? No. You gonna tell me

‫Great for when you run ‫.out of toilet paper

‫? Are you jealous, Dalton

‫Girl, I don't need a ‫piece of paper to prove

‫? How smart I am, okay

‫Well, I don't need a ‫piece of paper to prove

‫.how smart you're not

‫.Was that an insult

‫.No. You're a genius

‫.Oh, thank you

‫, All righty

‫? Who's ready to take me on

‫.Drink up, Bozer
