Whoa.
[gasps]

Who are you?What are you doing?

Clear.

Well, that was close.

When you said you had a plan,

I was expecting a coffee pot
and Silly String or something.

Instead, your genius idea was
to get me into bed with you?

Well, it was the best way
to avoid getting killed.

No, the best way would have been
to avoid this altogether.

Well, we can argue
about it all day,

but it worked,
didn't it?[door opens]

For a minute.

So I got naked for nothing?

Got any Silly String?

♪

BOZER:
Wake up!
[gasps]

[laughter]

I told him not to do it.

Sorry.Sometimes in life,

the universe gives you a gift,
and all you can do

is accept.All right.

Remember that
when your old MySpace profile

is circling
around the office.

Some things are better left
in the past, Riley.

MacGYVER:
Hey, you, uh,

probably shouldn't keep
crashing out here in the lab.

You're running
yourself ragged.

Yeah. I guess
I lost track of time.

LEANNA:
For the third time this week.

You've been burning it
at both ends

ever since our
personal information

was leaked on
the Dark Web.

Hard to sleep knowing
our information is out there.

Any luck with the search?No.

Whoever did this hid
their tracks well.

I haven't been able
to make any headway.

Yet. But you will.

I hope Ms. Davis finishes
her search very soon.

Well, thank you, Sparky.
That's very nice of you.

Her snoring interrupts
my nighttime

software
updating cycle.

I don't snore.May I present evidence?

No, I'd prefer
if you didn't, Sparky.

I'd prefer if you did.

Exhibit A...[Riley snoring over recording]

[laughter]

You clocked in at a
whopping 50 decibels.

What?

[laughter]

[phone chimes]

Matty wants to see you
and me in the war room.

Yeah.

Y'all have fun.
We'll just be here, inventing

earplugs for
poor Sparky.

[laughter]

Hey.

I'll, uh, join up
with you in a second.

All right.

Hey, Dad.
I missed you yesterday.

How's General Attrius?

He's fine, he just
had some questions

about the upcoming
Libya operation.

Look, I'm sorry

I missed our lunch again.

I, uh... I-I'll make it up
to you next week.

Sure.

Oh, good, I'm glad you're here.

Will you shut
the door behind you?

Did you get the info I sent?

I did.

MacGYVER:
Wait, isn't that

the Skjaldmar
International Seed Vault?

Seed vault?
DESI:
In Greenland.

Much like Svalbard,

it's an international
collaboration to collect seeds

for agricultural crops.

Yeah, for the worst-case
scenario.

If a country's agriculture
is completely wiped out

by a natural disaster or a war,

they have backup seeds from
their region so they can reboot

their crops.
OVERSIGHT:
I was personally involved

in development and planning.

They reached out
to me

about an urgent matter
that needs our assistance.

An employee has gone missing.

MATTY: Karl Knudsen
is a maintenance tech

at the seed vault.
Last Thursday,

he swiped his badge
to enter a security door,

but there's no record
of him ever leaving.

I designed
this security system myself.

If an employee doesn't swipe
his badge, the vault won't open.

Not only that,
none of the security cameras

caught him exiting.

MATTY: Local PD searched
the entire space

but found no sign of Karl.
They're stumped.

And his family is beside
themselves with worry.

OVERSIGHT:
The peace agreement

involving the seed vault
is a delicate one.

Almost every country
in the world put politics aside

to place deposits
into that vault.

If word got out
that things were amiss,

it could destabilize
the entire agreement.

And escalate into an
international incident.

Whatever fragile peace
that'd been agreed upon
before would be shattered.

RILEY:
So they need us
to figure out

what happened to Karl
before word gets out

about his disappearance.MATTY:
You three will travel

to Greenland and meet with
the Skjaldmar chief of police.

He will escort you
to the seed vault.

Just us three?
You're not coming?

Something's come up.

But I have confidence that the
three of you will figure it out.

Okay. We'll establish
comms once we land.

[dialogue inaudible]

Mac.

You okay?

[sighs]

So, my dad's missed several
of our weekly lunches,

including yesterday.

And he had an excuse,

but I don't know.

I think
something's going on.

Well, he does run
a super-secret spy organization.

It's possible he just
can't tell you what's up.

He's personally asked to assist
at this seed vault thing,

a place that he designed, by
the way, and he can't make it?

Something's not right,
and I want to know what it is.

So you want me
to spy on your dad.Yes.

I know how it sounds, but...

I thought we were
in a good place recently,

and now it just seems
like he's keeping secrets,

so I want to know
what's going on.

You're asking me to pit every
skill I have in my arsenal

against one of the best spies
in America?

You're right, dude.
I'm sorry, I didn't really...

I'll do it.

What? Really? Seriously?

Of course, Mac.

You're my best friend.

Besides, you're gonna owe me
so big for this.

Like, Bozer gets
a new PlayStation big.

With video games.

Yeah, whatever it takes.

Hey, you're the best.Yeah.

NILS:
Welcome to the Skjaldmar
International Seed Vault.

DESI:
This is a pretty
impressive structure.

We take security very seriously.

Every door requires
a different key.

There are three doors alone
before we get into this tunnel,

all needing a swipe card
and a code.

I didn't see
any guards posted outside.We don't have any.

The vault was built
as a peace initiative

with global cooperation.

Armed guards would
send a bad signal.

And realistically, with
polar bears outnumbering humans

two to one,
and a remote location

closer to the North Pole
than any civilization,

I doubt there was ever a
need for a guard station.

[chuckles]
You sound like your dad.

He's a good man.

Always the smartest
in the room.

He's very proud
of you.

I'm sure he tells you that
all the time.

That's always very nice to hear.

NILS:
I have to say,
I'm relieved

that you were all able to come
on such short notice to help us.

So what can you tell us
about your missing employee?

Last Thursday,
Karl showed up for work,

used his card to enter the vault

at the start of his shift,
and never swiped to leave.

We thoroughly searched
the vault,

even tried to track his phone,

still no sign of him.

It's as if he just, uh,
disappeared.

We'll need to talk with whoever
else was working that day.

Karl was alone.
Other than the few days a year

when countries make deposits,

this facility
is mostly unmanned.

Well, can you show us the vault?

Of course.
You'll have to put this on.

Resting temperature
inside the vault

is negative ten degrees Celsius

to protect the seeds.

Think warm thoughts.

This is our main seed room,
where every deposit is stored.

The vault is built
into an old mine.

Everything is fortified
with permafrost walls.

The entrance where you came in
is also the only exit

out of here.
RILEY:
So, somewhere in this room,

Karl disappeared.
Not many places

he could've gone.This facility was built

for one purpose only:
to store seeds.

Not a lot of need
for other rooms.

So the exterior
is literally a mountain,

the only entrance is that door,
and we know Karl didn't use it,

so... where did he go?

What about access tunnels?

Ventilation shafts?

No access tunnel.

All ventilation is too small
for a person to fit through.

It's like Karl just disappeared
into the mountain.

NILS:
May I ask
what you're doing?

I need a down feather.

Now, if you
all don't mind,

I'm going to need everyone to
stay still and hold your breath.

Sorry about the jacket.

He does this sometimes.

Yeah, his father's the same way.

Hey, guys, over here.

Help me move all these.

Whoa.

Someone dug another exit.

Can I see your flashlight?

Yeah. Someone with professional
mining equipment.

You think Karl
tunneled his way out?

From the looks of the grooves,
it looks like someone tunneled

their way in.

It gets worse.

What is it?Well, whoever dug this tunnel...

...also killed Karl.

Okay, guys,
so what you're telling me

is someone went to all
the trouble of traveling

to the remote arctic
tundra of Greenland

to drill into
a highly secure seed vault

just to kill someone?

If they wanted to murder Karl,

there were easier ways
to make that happen.

OVERSIGHT:
Agreed.

Drilling through the permafrost
could not have been easy.

Whoever this is
wanted something badly

and could
only find it here.

Karl was
collateral damage.

[sighs]
There's nothing here but seeds.

My team and I
checked the seal

on every box, found no evidence

that anything was disrupted.

So if they were after seeds,

it looks like they failed.No, the thief wouldn't have

done this if they didn't
take what they came for.

He must have covered his tracks,

but if we
can somehow

figure out what was stolen,

it may help us identify
and find the guy.

Yeah, but there are millions
of seeds here.

Searching through every one
of these boxes could take weeks,

maybe even months.
By that time the thief

and the seeds would be
long gone.There's got to be

a way to narrow down
our search.

Maybe there is.

[grunts]

Here you go.

Oh, it's dead.

That's why they couldn't
track him before.

Between the head wound
and the multiple tears

on Karl's jacket, he clearly
fought with the killer.

Karl must have stumbled
upon the thief

while he was searching
through the boxes.

Yeah. Smartphones
have a chip in them

that runs a gyroscope,
an accelerometer,

and an electromagnetic
compass, meaning...The phone is

constantly recording where it
is in three-dimensional space.

So it recorded
all of Karl's movements

during the fight.
Exactly.

MATTY:
Mac, you think
you could figure out

where the thief was

based on the information
on Karl's phone?

MacGYVER:
Yes, with Riley
guiding us through,

Desi and I can
recreate the fight,

starting at the end.

When our thief dragged Karl

into the tunnel.So, working backwards,

we'll be able to pinpoint
where the thief

was standing when
Karl first found him.

Huh. Not bad.

So, who's playing Karl?

Seriously?

Just trying to be fair.

[chuckles]

Rock, paper,
scissors, shoot.

[chuckles]

Put that in your pocket.

Same place as Karl had it
when you found it.

Thank you. That way I can match
Karl's movements to yours.

DESI:
Oh, hey, Mac.

Assume the position.

Comfy?

Never better.

Okay, I'm ready.
So, Karl's phone

was horizontal.

Moving at a quick clip
of about

25 feet due south.

Positioned approximately
six inches above the ground.

I'm guessing this is
when he was dragged.

It's not too late to switch.
Are you sure you can drag...?!

Aah! Ow!Sorry.

Ow.Uh, stop right there.

Oh, hey, look.

Yeah, this would be from, uh,
Karl's key ring I saw on him.

I think we're on the right
track, let's keep going.

Okay, there's a lot
of chaotic movement right there.

Ending with
the phone horizontal.

I'm guessing this is
when the killer hit Karl

with something, killing him.

If we can figure out
the angle of the head wound,

it might help orient us
to where they came from.

Can we borrow your
flashlight again?

Ready?
Come at me.

[grunts quietly]

[device buzzes]No. Wrong direction.

[grunts]

[device buzzes]Mm-mm.
Not quite.

You need to be lower.

Here, put me in a headlock.

What?
I don't bite.

I said,
put me in a headlock.

Thought you were trained.Okay, I really don't
think this is...

[grunts]

[device chimes]Yep, that's it.

A little enthusiastic,
don't you think?Just getting into character.

MATTY:
Okay, guys.

I need you two to focus.

Now, where was the thief
before he killed Karl?

There's more chaotic movement

ten feet southwest...

ending with a sudden stop.Yeah.

Okay, go.

[grunting]

[device buzzes]Nope. Try south.

[grunting]

[device chimes]Yeah, that's it. Keep going.

[grunts]

[device buzzes]Uh...

Wrong direction. Turn around.

Maybe, uh...Whoa...

Kind of like that? Yeah?

[grunts]

[device chimes]Yeah.

That worked.
So at this point,

Karl moved 17
feet southeast.

I'm guessing
this was

the end of his approach
to the killer.

Okay, there's a lot
of movement over here.

His phone is pitching

all over the place.

[device buzzes]No, that's not it.
Try something else.

[both grunting softly]

[device chimes]

Yeah, that matched.

It was a sharp move... here.

[MacGyver grunting]

[device buzzes]Uh, try and move east to west.

[both grunting]

[device chimes]Little extreme, but,

yeah, that matched.

[both grunting]

[device buzzes]How about that?

Someone needs to go lower.Lower.

[grunts]

[grunts]Yes.

[grunts]

[device chimes]Good, Mac.

Now let's run it all
through to make sure

we got this right.Okay.

[grunting]

RILEY:
Good. Okay, Mac.

You reset. Desi, you hang back
in the second aisle.

Okay, Mac.

Right here, Karl
moved about ten feet.

Pretty slow.

[exhales] Okay. So...

This is where he saw the thief.

Must've surprised him,

asked him
what he was doing there.

Approached him slowly

until he got close enough...For the thief to attack.

So, where I'm standing
is where Karl

surprised his killer.

One of the nearby boxes

must've been what
the thief was after.

Let's start checking.

I got new nails.
This is it.

He must have used a pry bar
to pull the nails out

and then replaced them
with new ones

once he was done.A pry bar is a good
weapon of opportunity.

And it's consistent
with Karl's head wound.

Okay, so we've found
the thief's target.

Whose box is that?

It's one of North Korea's boxes.

OVERSIGHT:
If North Korea
finds out the vault

was breached and one
of their boxes was targeted,

it could cause
an international incident.

Nils, how long before
we have to report the theft?

The protocol is 12 hours.

MATTY:
Okay, Mac.

That gives you 12 hours
to recover the stolen seeds

and find Karl's killer.

They log every seed
that comes in here.

So it's just a matter of
matching the list of contents

with what's
inside the box.Okay, well,

at least we narrowed down
the search from millions to 500.

While you do that, I'm gonna
go check out the tunnel.

Uh, Riley.

Thanks.

Be careful.

All right, fill me in.

Yeah.

Uh, I'll be back, Matty.

Man, what a bummer, not being
able to go to Greenland.

Well, I can't be
everywhere at once.

I trust Mac to take
care of the problem.

Of course. You know,
busy man like you

constantly zipping
from meeting to meeting?

[chuckles]
Lots of places to be.

Yes, Bozer.

When you're Oversight.
[chuckles]

[elevator bell dings]Excuse me.

Oh, I get it. Probably have
a meeting with the CIA?

Huh?

Or, uh, need to go
walk your dog? [chuckles]

Tea time?

Something like that.

Hmm.

Good-bye, Bozer.

[elevator bell dings]

What was that about?

Girl, the hell you came from?

Huh?

Nothing, okay?

That was just
a totally normal conversation

I always have
with my scary boss.

What?
Are we really
gonna do this?

Do what?I know you're up to something.

Don't make me
pull it out of you.

Fine, okay? Mac thinks his dad
is hiding something.

He asked me to spy on him
to figure out what it is.

Wait, you're gonna
spy on Oversight?

Shh, girl,
why you so loud?

What...?You're gonna spy
on our boss?

Yes, okay? But Mac
wanted to keep it quiet,
so don't tell anyone.

Fine. I won't
tell anyone.

All right.
But... I'm
coming with you.

All right.

[scanner beeps]

What's going on with Oversight?

What makes you say
something's going on?

[scanner beeps]

Well, he personally helped plan
and build this place

but then they ask for help
and he doesn't come?

I don't know,
seems kind of weird to me.

Well, he did say
he was unavailable.

Seems to be happening
a lot lately.

Didn't you say he's been
missing your lunches, too?

[scanner beeps]Look, Mac, you don't
have to tell me.

But I'm part of the reformed
dads club, too, so...

you ever want to talk,
I'm here.

The coroner's
on their way over.

How's the inventory
coming along?

This is all of it.

According to this list...[computer beeps]

the only object
missing from this box

is a rare form of a pea plant.

Hmm.DESI [over comm]:
Hey, Mac?

Riley? I reached
the end of the tunnel and...

you are not
gonna believe this.

I've got schematics,
seed reports,

drilling equipment.

Whoever this guy is,
he's been here for months.

Months?

That's insane.

Trust me, this looks insane.

MacGYVER [over comm]:
If this guy was willing

to go to all this trouble,

kill an innocent person, and
risk an international incident

with North Korea
over some seeds,

there's no telling
what he'll do next.

MATTY [over comm]: Mac, you got anything on the seed thief yet?

We're trying,
there's just a lot here.

This place is like a very
special episode of Hoarders.

All this effort,
months of digging and planning

and work just for a rare form
of a pea plant?

Something's not adding up.

Wait a second.

Yeah, this is
the chemical formula

for a neurotoxic amino acid.

It's a poison, Matty.

RILEY: The pea plant is
a key ingredient?

MacGYVER:
Yes.

This particular pea plant,
that can only be found

in North Korea,
is a carrier for that toxin.

And with the seeds, they can
grow as much as they want.Yes.

And with the right equipment,

they can then extract the
neurotoxin and synthesize it.

Depending on the method
of distribution,

this poison has
the potential to kill millions.

You're saying
they could weaponize it.Yeah.

Explains why they went

to all this trouble to break
into North Korea's seed stash.

Okay, whoever we're looking for
just upgraded

from murderer
to possible terrorist.

We need to figure out
who this is

and where they went
with that seed

right now.

RILEY: This cabin is
in the middle of nowhere,

with no access
to any wireless signal.

How was our thief

able to print out this web page
from two weeks ago?

Line of sight.

In remote rural areas, a central
satellite tower is built

on a high point.

So, if anyone wants service,

each individual house has to
point a satellite dish

directly at the main tower.

All right, Mac, if you could
connect me to that tower,

I could pull the data
to find out what our thief

was looking up on the Internet
before he skipped town.

So we should be looking
for a satellite dish.

Right.

Think I found it.

It looks pretty fried.

I'm guessing the last storm
took it out.

DESI:
Can you get it
working again?

No.

But we can build one.

If you're ever in need,
a trusty metal bucket

functions as
a perfect satellite dish.

Add a drill bit
as the receiver,

the copper wire
as an Ethernet cable,

and point it at the tower,

and even in the middle
of nowhere,

you can connect to the world.

Okay.

Oh, read my mind.

All right.

All right.

How we doing?
All right,

hold it right there, Mac.

Keep it steady. It's working.

Talk to me, Riley.

His browser history

only goes back
about nine months.

Uh, yeah, that's about how
long it would have taken

to drill through the permafrost
from here to the vault.

RILEY:
Wait a minute, here's something.

Our thief was sending
a monthly payment

to a flower shop
in Brussels.

DESI:
Great, so now

he has the seeds
and a place with all

the equipment necessary
to grow this plant.

MATTY:
Not if you get to Brussels
and stop him first.

MacGYVER:
Hey, Boze, just checking in,

see how everything's going,
call me when you get a chance.

Thanks.

[phone beeps]

You're tense.

What's up?

[sighs]
Well, we're tracking down a guy

who broke into an international
seed vault, killed a man

and is potentially making
a dangerous weapon.

So I'm allowed
to be tense, right?

Nice cover.

What's really going on?Nothing.

It's something with his dad.

You know,

I thought the only good thing
about Jack being gone was that

maybe I could get
some privacy.

You were definitely
mistaken about that.

Clearly.Oversight did
seem distracted.

You noticed, too?

I don't know him
as well as you do,

I've only read
your files, but...

yeah, I could tell
there was something going on.

Any guesses as to
what it might be?No.

Oversight's my boss.

It's not my business
to know what he does.

But it is yours.

Thank you.

[computer beeping]

Okay. I was able

to find out what
our thief's monthly payment

to the flower shop was for.

They've got a standing
order for white lilies

to be delivered to the same
address every month.

Except, this month's order
was just picked up in person.

Yeah, that could be our guy.Agreed. This is our only lead.

We need to track him down.
Where are the flowers

usually delivered?

MacGYVER:
Yeah, I got nothing
on the north end.

RILEY:
I got nothing over here
on the east side.

Just a bunch of,
you know, cemetery.

Keep your eyes open
for some white lilies.

RILEY:
Wait.

I think I got some
up here on the hill.

These aren't fresh.

Definitely not the ones
picked up today.

What does this mean?

Who are you?

We're with the U.S. government.

We're trying to
locate someone

connected to a standing order
of flowers

to be delivered today.
Who are you?

My name's Oliver.

I've just come to
lay lilies down

for my sister and niece.

Just checked with Matty.

Oliver's alibi holds.
He's not our thief.

Background check
confirms

he is who he says he is.

He has white lilies
at the address

they're usually delivered.

He's connected to this somehow.

There.

It always looks better
with flowers.

Elise loved lilies. Hmm.

We're looking for the person
who pays for those flowers.

Is that you?No.

Uh, I pick them up when I
can to deliver them myself,

but I do not
pay for them, no.

This is about Jules, isn't it?

If Jules is who we're after,

we need to find him
as soon as possible.

We suspect he committed a theft

in a highly secure
facility.

What can you tell us about him?

Please.

Uh, Jules, uh,
was my sister's husband.

Before she died, I would have
never thought he'd be capable

of doing what you're saying.

He was a great man,

so in love with my sister,

a wonderful
father to Lily.

They did not have a lot,
but, uh, they were happy.

Can you tell us
what happened to them?

[sighs]

One night, uh,

coming home from dinner,
they were carjacked.

Elise, Lily, they were killed.

Jules barely survived.

That's awful. I'm so sorry.

Jules withdrew after that.

He picked up the oddest hobbies,

uh, things he had
no interest in before.

Spelunking, exploring ice caves,

going to the shooting range
every day--

none of it made sense.

And he started, uh, running
around with an awful crowd,

he got himself mixed up
in some really bad stuff.

The police even came
looking for him a few times.

Until one day, he just left.

Did he leave a note?
Any way to contact him?

No.

No, he's been gone a year now,
maybe more.

But a couple of days ago,

I received a text message
from an unknown number.

I assume it was
from Jules.

We're gonna have
to hold onto this.

A man has been killed,

and something very,

very dangerous has been stolen.

We need to find Jules.

When you do,
can you help him?

Elise would be heartbroken
to see what he's become.

We will do everything
that we can.

I promise.

MATTY:
Well, everything Oliver said
seems to check out.

Up until five years ago,
Jules Stevens was a librarian,

involved in his community
and living a happy life

with his wife
and young daughter.

Sounds like he went
from mild-mannered librarian

to Thomas Crown-level criminal.

After his family was killed,
Jules created an alias

and was linked
to a series of break-ins

and increasingly complicated
bank heists,

but he was never caught.

MacGYVER:
Still doesn't explain
why he was interested

in making a poison

from rare seeds he got
from a seed vault.

Okay, guys, I was able to hack
the number that texted Oliver,

and I found a bunch of messages
he sent to a blocked number.

These messages

line up with the timing
of the thefts he's linked to.

He was trying to
fence what he stole.

Not from what I'm reading.

According to these messages,
all he wanted

was a face-to-face meeting
with a Ludek Passer.

Well, this just went sideways.

Ludek Passer is the head
of organized crime

in Central Europe.
He's a known recluse

who refuses to meet with anyone
who isn't in his inner circle.

It's part of how he's stayed
in power for so long.

RILEY:
Guys, I got bad news.

Passer's agreed to a meeting.

Today in Prague.

Except this time,
Jules is bringing him a gift.

The last thing we want
is an organized crime boss

having his hands
on seeds that can synthesize

into a powerful poison.

Yeah, we're already behind.
We got to get to Prague

and stop that meeting
before it's too late.

LEANNA:
We have been following Oversight

all over town,
and all we've learned

is that he never uses
his turn signal

and his errands are
even more boring than mine.

I don't know what you're talking
about. I found the dry cleaners

to be scintillating.

And now he is having lunch

in a diner that
he always goes to.

How much longer
are we gonna do this?

Don't we have to be back
at the lab?

BOZER:
You can go, but Mac asked
for help, so I'm gonna help him.

Either we'll find something
or we won't, but either way,

Mac will have an answer.

Bozer, you know I love what
a loyal friend you are, but...

Look, I know to you
it's just an egg salad sandwich,

but to me, it could be the key
to figuring out what's going on.

We just have to keep
waiting and watching

until something
jumps out at us.

[knock on window]

[chuckles]:
Hey, man.

We were just, uh...

out for a drive.
You come here, too?

Thought you two could
use a little caffeine.

Following someone all day
can get very exhausting.

What? Following?
[chuckles]

Nah, man. I mean, Los Angeles
is known for being a small town.

Sooner or later we were bound
to run into each other.

It's just math.Mm-hmm.

For the record,
typical tail procedure

is eight lengths. When I
sped up, you cut it to four.

Should always
use two cars,

not just one,
so you can switch out.

You should always park with
your backs towards the target,

watching them with your mirrors,
so they can't see your faces.

And, Bozer,

next time, don't use
your own car.

I'm really, really sorry
about this, sir.

Look, I don't know
what's going on,

but I don't ever want to have
this conversation again.

Next time you want to watch me
talk to a waitress,

buy me dinner.

Okay, so that wasn't so bad.

We just got busted by our boss

for spying on him.

That's as bad as it gets.
We tried.

It's over.

Maybe not yet.

According to the messages,
this is where the meet is.

We'll intercept the seeds
before Jules hands them off.

[gunshots]They're already here.

There.

He's still alive,
just knocked out.

Check this out.

He ditched the seeds.
Why would he do that?

What's your name?

Arthur.

What the hell
happened, Arthur?

[speaking Czech]

Hey. We know you work[groans]

for Ludek Passer,
and chances are,

when we run you
through the system,

we're gonna nail you
with something.

So let's just cut
to the chase

and make it easier for yourself

and tell us what
just happened here.

Passer sent me to meet with some
guy who had something for him.

I came for the meet,

but when the guy saw
it was just me,

he got pissed.

Thought he was meeting
the boss face to face,

but that just
doesn't happen.

Boss doesn't meet with anyone
he doesn't know.

So where's your boss?

MATTY [over comm]:
Mac, I think I got something.

A few months before
his family was killed,

Jules was a key witness
in a trial.

RILEY: What does that
have to do with Passer?

It was a robbery case.

A thief that authorities
in Europe

have been hunting
for a long time.

He was tried and convicted,

and guess who
the guy worked for.Passer.

Jules gave the damaging
testimony that ultimately

put the thief away.

Jules got Passer's guy
convicted, so...

MacGYVER:
Passer had Jules

and his family killed
in retaliation,

but made it look
like a carjacking.

Jules survived,

but he knew who was really
behind the death of his family,

so he became obsessed.

Because of the trial, Jules
knew that there was an opening

in Passer's organization,
so he devoted

himself to building a résumé

of heists and robberies
big enough

to land a meeting.

Everything that Jules has done

since the death of his family
was to get closer

to Passer, to meet with him
face to face.

[stun gun buzzing][shouts]

[stun gun buzzing]

[phone buzzes]

Stay back.

MacGYVER: This was never about the seeds.

He wants revenge.

There.

[tires screech]

Looks like Passer
called the cavalry.

Well, we can't let a firefight
erupt in the park.

You get Jules.
Riles, with me.

[grunting]

I've been trying to
meet you for a while now.

I don't know
who you are,

but I need you
to put that gun down.Oh, yeah?

You do know me. Jules Stevens.

My wife was Elise Stevens,

and my daughter, Lily Stevens.

Ring a bell?Again, I don't know who you are.

You had my family killed!
Murdered in cold blood!

And I was there that night,

and I watched them...

You're a monster.MacGYVER: Jules.

You don't want to do this.Get out of the way.
This doesn't concern you.

You don't know me,
but I know a lot about you.

I've been following
your trail since Greenland.

I know that you were

the key witness on a trial
for one of Passer's men,

and your testimony
got him convicted.

Then you know what happened
next. He sent those men

to kill me and my family.I know.

But you lived.

[chuckles]

I lived.

Oh, the doctor
told me I was lucky.

Can you imagine?

My family murdered

in front of me
and I'm lucky.

But that day I promised
myself that he

would pay for
their deaths,

no matter what it took.

Come on, bring it.

DESI:
Mac!

JULES:
Go away.

He will,

just let him
stand trial.

Let justice run its course.

No. I won't live
through another trial.

You were a good man, Jules.
You still can be.

No. That good man died

that night in the car.

You're not a murderer.

Every time you've had a chance

to kill Passer's men,
you haven't.

You merely stunned them.
You don't want

to kill anybody
because it's not who you are.

I didn't mean to kill that man.

The one in the
seed vault.

I didn't know he was
going to be there.

He caught me,

and everything
got out of control.

All this planning,
all these years, my life.

I couldn't let it
all be for nothing.

And it won't be.

We will take him in,
but if you...

[whispering]:
if you kill him

in front
of his family,

his kids? Then
you really will

become the
same monster

that he is.

So don't do this, Jules.

Please.

Elise wouldn't have wanted this.

Passer will pay for his crimes.

Please, for what
it's worth,

the man in the seed vault,
tell his family that I'm sorry.

I will.

MATTY:
Thanks to you,

we've recovered North Korea's
stolen seeds

and averted an
international incident.

Karl's family has been notified
that his killer has been caught.

Not only that,
but Arthur cut a deal.

He's gonna
give up everything

he knows about Passer
and the organization.

Looks like Passer's going away
for a long, long time.

MacGYVER:
What about Jules?

He'll be going to jail.

Karl's family
deserves justice as well.

Hey, uh, Boze, you in here?

BOZER:
Yeah.

What's going on?

Uh-oh. Everything okay?

I did what you asked

and followed
your dad.

You found something.

At first, no.

It wasn't
until I talked

to his usual waitress
at that diner

you both go to
that I got some answers.

I convinced her to tell me
what's happening with him.

And?

You should sit down.

Bozer doesn't give up, does he?

[both chuckle]

I don't understand.

Why keep it a secret?
Why not just tell me?

Well, think about it.

I'd just dropped back
into your life,

wanted a relationship,
any kind of relationship.

Didn't want you to forgive me
just 'cause I had cancer.

Dad.

We've been good
for almost a year now.

Yeah.

You could've told me,
and then I-I could've...

Could've what? Fixed me?

I'm not
a mission, Mac.

I'm your dad.

Can always do something.

Look, whatever time

I have left,

I want to spend it
with you,

getting to know my son.

Because, frankly, this is...

this is one problem
you can't fix.
