1
00:00:02,089 --> 00:00:04,395
Previously onMacGyver... You know, a lot of kids, they
2
00:00:04,439 --> 00:00:06,615
go to MIT and they think thatthey're gonna change the world.
3
00:00:06,658 --> 00:00:08,617
Frankie was a double major
in mechanical engineering
4
00:00:08,660 --> 00:00:10,097
and biology.Yeah.
5
00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:11,315
Mac, what the hell
have you been doing
6
00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:12,795
since you dropped out
of school?
7
00:00:12,838 --> 00:00:15,580
Boy genius is a spy now?
8
00:00:15,624 --> 00:00:16,712
But, hey, if you hit a snag,
9
00:00:16,755 --> 00:00:18,192
you want to brainstorm ideas...
10
00:00:18,235 --> 00:00:19,584
I think we're smart enough
to, uh,
11
00:00:19,628 --> 00:00:20,977
figure out
how to use a telephone.
12
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:21,934
Or build one.
13
00:00:55,011 --> 00:00:57,622
Mac, this is a bad idea.
14
00:00:57,666 --> 00:00:59,972
Hey, just imagine
we're back at MIT
15
00:01:00,016 --> 00:01:03,106
bribing the security guard for
more time in the biology lab.
16
00:01:03,150 --> 00:01:04,716
How is that the same thing?
17
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,155
Technically against the rules,
but it's for a good cause.
18
00:01:13,856 --> 00:01:14,987
$20,000
19
00:01:15,031 --> 00:01:16,380
for the sample.
20
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:20,297
I have what you want.
21
00:01:20,341 --> 00:01:22,647
The man who brought it
from the island got bit.
22
00:01:22,691 --> 00:01:25,128
I, uh, I watched
his face swell.
23
00:01:25,172 --> 00:01:26,260
Sangue...
24
00:01:26,303 --> 00:01:28,697
blood poured from everywhere.
25
00:01:30,655 --> 00:01:34,964
At the hospital, they cut off
his arm, but he died anyway.
26
00:01:37,619 --> 00:01:41,188
If you want it,
you will need to extract it
27
00:01:41,231 --> 00:01:42,798
from the creature
yourself.
28
00:01:56,681 --> 00:01:58,814
MacGYVER:All right,
we're gonna need supplies.
29
00:02:02,078 --> 00:02:03,775
Uh... Frankie, can you grab
30
00:02:03,819 --> 00:02:06,430
that jar, empty it
into this bucket?Yes.
31
00:02:12,044 --> 00:02:13,089
Yeah?
Right here.
32
00:02:14,656 --> 00:02:16,962
All right, that's it.
33
00:02:17,006 --> 00:02:19,704
Wait, hold on.
34
00:02:35,459 --> 00:02:37,722
Ready?
Yep.
35
00:02:47,689 --> 00:02:48,864
All right.
36
00:02:58,743 --> 00:03:00,615
Okay,
now we're gonna
37
00:03:00,658 --> 00:03:02,486
slowly position his headYeah.
38
00:03:02,530 --> 00:03:04,358
over the jar
until he bites down.
39
00:03:05,663 --> 00:03:06,795
How do you know how to do this?
40
00:03:06,838 --> 00:03:08,188
You know, YouTube.
41
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,235
Look.
42
00:03:12,279 --> 00:03:13,802
Okay.
43
00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:16,370
Now...
Uh-huh?
44
00:03:16,413 --> 00:03:19,503
we massage his venom
glands, which are here-ish.
45
00:03:21,723 --> 00:03:23,681
Yes.
46
00:03:23,725 --> 00:03:25,205
Be careful.
47
00:03:26,728 --> 00:03:29,513
All right, I
think that's it.
48
00:03:29,557 --> 00:03:31,646
Now, if this venom
49
00:03:31,689 --> 00:03:33,082
does everything
you think it can...
50
00:03:33,125 --> 00:03:35,998
Then we will be saving
a lot of lives.
51
00:03:36,041 --> 00:03:37,521
Yeah.
52
00:03:42,178 --> 00:03:43,310
All right.
53
00:03:48,271 --> 00:03:50,230
First one might be your own.
54
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,220
♪ Everybody shake
55
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:27,615
♪ Everybody do
56
00:04:36,101 --> 00:04:38,452
How's anyone supposed to get
excited about the research
57
00:04:38,495 --> 00:04:39,975
when they don't even
understand how it works?
58
00:04:40,018 --> 00:04:42,238
Well, the people who matter
will understand it.
59
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:43,718
You can't dumb it down.
60
00:04:43,761 --> 00:04:45,328
Oh-- Mac.
61
00:04:45,372 --> 00:04:47,025
Finally, a voice
of reason.
62
00:04:47,069 --> 00:04:48,549
Help us settle something
for our entry
63
00:04:48,592 --> 00:04:50,420
into the Journal of Oncology. Please. These two
64
00:04:50,464 --> 00:04:52,161
have been debating one sentence
for an hour.
65
00:04:52,204 --> 00:04:53,728
All right. Let's hear it.
66
00:04:53,771 --> 00:04:56,339
"The therapy uses
protein complexes
67
00:04:56,383 --> 00:04:59,603
"and strongly basic
polypeptides extracted
68
00:04:59,647 --> 00:05:01,301
"from virulent saliva
69
00:05:01,344 --> 00:05:02,998
to target tumorigenic masses."
70
00:05:03,041 --> 00:05:04,304
That's the right idea,
71
00:05:04,347 --> 00:05:05,783
but can we put it
into layman's terms?
72
00:05:05,827 --> 00:05:07,568
Wecan. This guy, not so much.
73
00:05:07,611 --> 00:05:09,526
All right.
74
00:05:09,570 --> 00:05:12,573
"The cancer
treatment uses toxins
75
00:05:12,616 --> 00:05:14,226
"extracted from snake venom,
76
00:05:14,270 --> 00:05:17,012
"which billions of years of
evolution have taught to attack
77
00:05:17,055 --> 00:05:18,622
"the weakest cells
in a creature's body,
78
00:05:18,666 --> 00:05:20,668
to target cancerous tumors."
Something like that?
79
00:05:22,060 --> 00:05:23,018
You nerdsplained
that perfectly.
80
00:05:24,106 --> 00:05:25,673
Thanks, boss.
81
00:05:25,716 --> 00:05:28,415
Hmm, so gladyou could make it.
82
00:05:28,458 --> 00:05:29,590
Here it comes.
83
00:05:29,633 --> 00:05:30,939
No, no, it's my fault.
84
00:05:30,982 --> 00:05:32,723
See, when you said
you'd be checking in weekly,
85
00:05:32,767 --> 00:05:35,117
I interpreted that to mean,
like, everyweek.I know.
86
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,293
Last Thursday, I was halfwayout the door when Matty called.
87
00:05:37,337 --> 00:05:38,860
And then the week before that,
88
00:05:38,903 --> 00:05:42,298
I was on my way here in mytruck, and then... Matty called.
89
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:43,865
But, look, I'm here
90
00:05:43,908 --> 00:05:45,214
and I come bearing gifts.
91
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,479
Just in time. We're almost out.
92
00:05:49,523 --> 00:05:51,394
So, how's our friend
at the pet shop doing?
93
00:05:51,438 --> 00:05:52,787
Oh, you know,
about as friendly
94
00:05:52,830 --> 00:05:55,398
as the last five times
I went to visit him.
95
00:05:55,442 --> 00:05:57,792
Have you made
any progress?
96
00:05:57,835 --> 00:05:59,794
Well, I've managedto cut the toxicity
97
00:05:59,837 --> 00:06:03,145
to surrounding epithelial cellsdown to 15%.
98
00:06:03,188 --> 00:06:04,494
What?
99
00:06:04,538 --> 00:06:06,322
Frankie, that's progress.
That's a huge deal.
100
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:07,628
Yeah. Getting there.
101
00:06:07,671 --> 00:06:09,369
Yeah.Um, Mac,
102
00:06:09,412 --> 00:06:10,761
listen, while I have you,
there is something
103
00:06:10,805 --> 00:06:12,023
that we need to talk about.
104
00:06:12,067 --> 00:06:14,330
Yeah. What's going on?
105
00:06:19,509 --> 00:06:20,423
Matty?
106
00:06:20,467 --> 00:06:22,382
Uh, uh, Desi this time.
107
00:06:22,425 --> 00:06:24,471
Okay.I'll hoof right back.
108
00:06:25,950 --> 00:06:27,561
Morning, sleepyhead.
109
00:06:27,604 --> 00:06:29,737
Where'd you sneak off to
so early?
110
00:06:29,780 --> 00:06:32,653
Um... a run in the canyon.
111
00:06:32,696 --> 00:06:34,132
You back soon?
112
00:06:34,176 --> 00:06:36,700
Um, nah.
Kind of hit a groove, so...
113
00:06:36,744 --> 00:06:39,094
You know how it is,
got to get those endorphins
114
00:06:39,137 --> 00:06:40,661
while the getting's good.
115
00:06:40,704 --> 00:06:42,271
Okay, dork.
116
00:06:42,314 --> 00:06:44,360
Pick me up
one of those blueberry scones
117
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:45,970
on your way home?You got it.
118
00:06:46,014 --> 00:06:47,842
Oh, and, Mac?
119
00:06:47,885 --> 00:06:49,713
Yeah.
120
00:06:49,757 --> 00:06:51,976
I'm sitting in your truck.
121
00:06:52,020 --> 00:06:55,458
I followed you from the house
to this creepy brick building,
122
00:06:55,502 --> 00:06:56,503
and your GPS history shows
123
00:06:56,546 --> 00:06:57,808
you've been coming here
for months.
124
00:06:57,852 --> 00:06:59,593
Desi...
125
00:06:59,636 --> 00:07:02,117
You have the walk outside
to think very carefully
126
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,162
about the words you use next.
127
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:13,520
I can't believe you
were tailing me.
128
00:07:14,999 --> 00:07:19,177
What I meant was... I'm sorry.
129
00:07:19,221 --> 00:07:21,397
Look, after Codex,
you and I promised
130
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:22,833
to be brutally honest
with each other.
131
00:07:22,877 --> 00:07:25,619
That, and dealing with
everything after Jack's funeral,
132
00:07:25,662 --> 00:07:27,316
is the only reason I've been
ignoring my Spidey-sense
133
00:07:27,359 --> 00:07:29,884
that your Thursday morning jogs
are bogus.
134
00:07:29,927 --> 00:07:31,189
So why are you lying to me?
135
00:07:31,233 --> 00:07:32,234
And what is this place?
136
00:07:32,277 --> 00:07:34,889
It's a medical
research laboratory.
137
00:07:34,932 --> 00:07:36,543
Okay.
138
00:07:36,586 --> 00:07:40,155
When my dad got sick, I
started researching an idea
139
00:07:40,198 --> 00:07:42,636
for an experimental
cancer treatment.
140
00:07:42,679 --> 00:07:44,333
And then, a-after he died,
141
00:07:44,376 --> 00:07:46,335
I decided to develop
that treatment,
142
00:07:46,378 --> 00:07:48,511
do something good
in his honor.
143
00:07:48,555 --> 00:07:50,905
So I raised money
through an angel investor
144
00:07:50,948 --> 00:07:53,516
and convinced my friend
Frankie to do the day-to-day.
145
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,301
And it started as a
total moon shot, but...
146
00:07:56,345 --> 00:07:59,130
she's been making
real progress.
147
00:07:59,174 --> 00:08:03,047
You've been secretly,
in your nonexistent free time,
148
00:08:03,091 --> 00:08:05,093
attempting to cure cancer?
149
00:08:09,445 --> 00:08:10,925
Ow. What was that for?
150
00:08:10,968 --> 00:08:12,579
I have the right to be pissed
at you right now,
151
00:08:12,622 --> 00:08:14,102
and you're ruining it.
152
00:08:14,145 --> 00:08:15,756
Why didn't you say anything?
153
00:08:15,799 --> 00:08:18,541
I just wasn't
ready to talk about it.
154
00:08:18,585 --> 00:08:19,760
Mac...
155
00:08:19,803 --> 00:08:22,632
total honesty means
total honesty,
156
00:08:22,676 --> 00:08:24,895
no matter how well-intentioned
the lie is.
157
00:08:27,158 --> 00:08:29,683
Yeah. You're right.
158
00:08:33,425 --> 00:08:35,819
You want to come inside
and check it out?
159
00:08:35,863 --> 00:08:37,342
We have snake venom.
160
00:08:40,128 --> 00:08:43,087
If I do, it doesn't mean
I'm not still mad at you.
161
00:08:43,131 --> 00:08:44,959
Deal.
Okay.
162
00:08:45,002 --> 00:08:48,528
Hey, guys? I've got someone
I'd like you to meet.
163
00:08:52,619 --> 00:08:54,621
Sandra, Ben!
164
00:08:58,233 --> 00:08:59,713
Fr...
165
00:09:02,237 --> 00:09:03,717
Frankie?
166
00:09:07,982 --> 00:09:09,418
Mac!
167
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,796
Mac. You okay?
168
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,842
Yeah. I'm fine, I'm fine. Go.
169
00:09:55,464 --> 00:09:57,422
I searched everywhere.
170
00:09:58,946 --> 00:10:00,556
Frankie's gone.
171
00:10:12,176 --> 00:10:13,221
Riley, update.
172
00:10:13,264 --> 00:10:14,701
Security cameras
in this building
173
00:10:14,744 --> 00:10:16,528
and all the surrounding
have been scrubbed.
174
00:10:16,572 --> 00:10:19,270
Whoever did this
planned well.
175
00:10:19,314 --> 00:10:21,229
Thinner nose.
176
00:10:21,272 --> 00:10:22,709
Bigger forehead.
177
00:10:22,752 --> 00:10:25,537
Ugly. Very ugly.
178
00:10:25,581 --> 00:10:28,062
Okay, Bozer, get that composite
to every law enforcement agency
179
00:10:28,105 --> 00:10:30,064
in the country the
instant it's done.
180
00:10:30,107 --> 00:10:31,587
On it.
181
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:33,110
Look, I'm sorry, Angus,
182
00:10:33,154 --> 00:10:35,069
I know you're upset, but we
need to keep going through
183
00:10:35,112 --> 00:10:37,114
all of your research.Look, I told you
everything I know,
184
00:10:37,158 --> 00:10:39,247
and I think we should be
out there looking for Frankie
185
00:10:39,290 --> 00:10:40,727
Mac, the Phoenix
186
00:10:40,770 --> 00:10:42,424
is doing everything possible
to find Frankie,
187
00:10:42,467 --> 00:10:44,905
but only you can help us
understand what happened here.
188
00:10:44,948 --> 00:10:46,907
Except I can't.
It doesn't make any sense.
189
00:10:46,950 --> 00:10:49,779
Well, whoever they are,
they hired professionals.
190
00:10:49,823 --> 00:10:50,998
They worked fast, quiet.
191
00:10:51,041 --> 00:10:53,870
You know, I'd wager
the man who attacked you
192
00:10:53,914 --> 00:10:55,437
was part of a small team
of ex-soldiers
193
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,917
turned private
military contractors.
194
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:02,531
They were sitting on this lab,
saw me come in today.
195
00:11:02,574 --> 00:11:04,185
They planned
on executing everyone
196
00:11:04,228 --> 00:11:06,361
working on the project
all at once.
197
00:11:06,404 --> 00:11:08,406
If Desi hadn't called me...
198
00:11:20,462 --> 00:11:22,333
What is that? Something?
199
00:11:22,377 --> 00:11:23,770
Uh, I'm not sure yet.
200
00:11:23,813 --> 00:11:26,424
Uh, Mac?
Yeah?
201
00:11:26,468 --> 00:11:29,079
The label on the vial says
"Bothrops insularis."
202
00:11:29,123 --> 00:11:30,515
Uh, yeah, it's a venom
203
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,128
from a snake breed called
the golden lancehead viper.
204
00:11:34,171 --> 00:11:37,479
Aka one of the rarest and
deadliest snakes in the world,
205
00:11:37,522 --> 00:11:40,177
found only on one island
off the coast of Saão Paulo.
206
00:11:40,221 --> 00:11:42,440
The Brazilian government has
made it illegal to transport
207
00:11:42,484 --> 00:11:43,659
or own.
208
00:11:45,835 --> 00:11:47,663
Bozer, how do you know all that?Getting shot in
the leg gives you
209
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:49,143
lots of time to
binge Planet Earth.
210
00:11:49,186 --> 00:11:52,799
Hey, guys, uh,
I'm not really huge on snakes.
211
00:11:52,842 --> 00:11:54,191
BOZER
"The golden lancehead's
212
00:11:54,235 --> 00:11:58,282
"venom targets the nervous
system of his prey
213
00:11:58,326 --> 00:12:00,458
"with pinpoint accuracy,
214
00:12:00,502 --> 00:12:03,897
"causing blood blisters,
intestinal bleeding,
215
00:12:03,940 --> 00:12:05,725
tissue necrosis, hemorrhage!"
216
00:12:05,768 --> 00:12:07,030
All right, that's great.
I'm just gonna...
217
00:12:08,379 --> 00:12:10,077
The fact that the golden
lancehead is so deadly
218
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,513
is precisely why
I needed its venom.
219
00:12:11,556 --> 00:12:13,341
The more fast-acting
a toxin is,
220
00:12:13,384 --> 00:12:15,386
the better it is at attacking
cancerous tumors.
221
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:17,127
But how did you
even get it in here?
222
00:12:17,171 --> 00:12:20,174
Uh, insulated hair spray bottle
223
00:12:20,217 --> 00:12:21,653
with a false bottom.
224
00:12:24,221 --> 00:12:26,310
Guys, I think I found something.
225
00:12:26,354 --> 00:12:29,009
Spyware embedded in the OS
of Frankie's laptop.
226
00:12:29,052 --> 00:12:30,706
Someone's been logging
her every keystroke.
227
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:32,012
What?It's reporting
to a burner phone
228
00:12:32,055 --> 00:12:33,317
not too far from here.
229
00:12:33,361 --> 00:12:35,580
That's got to be the sasquatch
who attacked us.
230
00:12:35,624 --> 00:12:37,669
Y-Yeah, and he could have
Frankie. Let's go.
231
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,603
All right, Riley. Where to?
232
00:12:58,647 --> 00:13:00,605
The burner phone
doesn't have GPS.
233
00:13:00,649 --> 00:13:03,173
I was triangulating its location
using cell towers,
234
00:13:03,217 --> 00:13:04,696
but now there's only one
in range.
235
00:13:04,740 --> 00:13:06,133
Come again?
236
00:13:06,176 --> 00:13:08,135
It means he's in the park,
but this is as close
237
00:13:08,178 --> 00:13:09,876
as I can get us.Right.
238
00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:11,399
Looks like we're gonna
have to go old-school.
239
00:13:11,442 --> 00:13:12,748
Form a dragnet,
240
00:13:12,792 --> 00:13:15,229
start at the edge of the park
and work our way in.
241
00:13:15,272 --> 00:13:18,014
Remember, if he makes us
before we make him,
242
00:13:18,058 --> 00:13:20,190
our only lead to rescuing
Frankie is shot.
243
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:32,899
RILEY
He's still here somewhere.
244
00:13:36,467 --> 00:13:37,904
Everyone's covered up.
245
00:13:37,947 --> 00:13:40,732
It's hard to get a visual.
246
00:13:40,776 --> 00:13:43,648
Yeah, hang on. I've got an idea.
247
00:13:43,692 --> 00:13:45,128
I can hijack the spyware
248
00:13:45,172 --> 00:13:46,260
and send a script
to the burner phone.
249
00:13:46,303 --> 00:13:47,565
What kind of script?
250
00:13:47,609 --> 00:13:49,480
The kind that overclocks
a lithium-ion battery.
251
00:13:49,524 --> 00:13:50,960
Look out for a reaction.
252
00:14:07,629 --> 00:14:08,804
Suspect ditched their phone.
253
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:10,806
We lost him.
254
00:14:12,460 --> 00:14:14,505
Maybe not. I've got one person
255
00:14:14,549 --> 00:14:16,290
walking away,
red hoodie.
256
00:14:16,333 --> 00:14:18,248
He's off. He's off!
257
00:14:23,732 --> 00:14:24,907
Sorry. Need to borrow this.
258
00:14:24,951 --> 00:14:26,169
Hey, what the...?
259
00:14:37,006 --> 00:14:38,878
Who are you?
260
00:14:38,921 --> 00:14:41,750
I'm Nina Harris
with the Department of Defense.
261
00:14:41,793 --> 00:14:44,057
Check my coat pocket
for my credentials.
262
00:14:48,757 --> 00:14:50,106
Right.
263
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:53,849
Agent Harris,
your bona fides check out.
264
00:14:53,893 --> 00:14:58,506
And your superior agrees
that you should fill us in.
265
00:14:58,549 --> 00:14:59,855
So he did.
266
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:01,465
If you work for the DoD,
why'd you run?
267
00:15:01,509 --> 00:15:02,510
I clocked someone
tailing me,
268
00:15:02,553 --> 00:15:04,686
did what I was trained to do.
269
00:15:04,729 --> 00:15:06,862
That doesn't explain why
you were spying on my lab.
270
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:08,690
We flagged a very dangerous
substance being imported
271
00:15:08,733 --> 00:15:10,910
illegally from Brazil.Mm.
272
00:15:12,172 --> 00:15:13,825
The, uh, snake venom
273
00:15:13,869 --> 00:15:15,740
was being used
for cancer research.
274
00:15:15,784 --> 00:15:18,134
So we learned when we watched
Dr. Mallory's computer.
275
00:15:18,178 --> 00:15:20,136
And we also learned
that her proprietary method
276
00:15:20,180 --> 00:15:21,659
for extracting toxins
from the venom
277
00:15:21,703 --> 00:15:22,878
had potential
alternative applications.
278
00:15:24,184 --> 00:15:26,490
You're not just DoD,
are you?
279
00:15:28,536 --> 00:15:29,885
You're black budget.
280
00:15:31,365 --> 00:15:32,975
Her group runs operations
281
00:15:33,019 --> 00:15:34,977
that are illegal
but necessary.
282
00:15:35,021 --> 00:15:37,371
Or at least that's
the company motto, isn't it?
283
00:15:37,414 --> 00:15:39,590
If one of our enemies
is gonna create a weapon,
284
00:15:39,634 --> 00:15:41,331
it's better that we do it first.
285
00:15:41,375 --> 00:15:43,681
What are we talking about here?
286
00:15:43,725 --> 00:15:46,032
I approached Dr. Mallory
about using her technique
287
00:15:46,075 --> 00:15:47,990
to engineer
the golden lancehead venom
288
00:15:48,034 --> 00:15:50,210
into a nerve agent
for the U.S. military.
289
00:15:52,255 --> 00:15:53,561
What did Frankie say?
290
00:15:53,604 --> 00:15:54,954
She refused.
291
00:15:57,913 --> 00:15:58,914
Hold on.
292
00:15:58,958 --> 00:15:59,915
Uh, you guys
finish this up.
293
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:00,916
I'll meet you
back at Phoenix.
294
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,309
Hang on, where are you off to?
295
00:16:02,352 --> 00:16:03,571
Back to the lab.
296
00:16:04,702 --> 00:16:06,139
Mac, Taylor
said you left
297
00:16:06,182 --> 00:16:07,792
in the middle of
interviewing Nina.
298
00:16:07,836 --> 00:16:09,533
Yes, earlier
I found this scrap of paper.
299
00:16:09,577 --> 00:16:12,145
It's got Frankie's handwriting,
molecular equations...
300
00:16:12,188 --> 00:16:15,104
related to golden lancehead
venom, but at the time...
301
00:16:16,149 --> 00:16:19,413
I couldn't figure out... how.
302
00:16:19,456 --> 00:16:22,068
And that's why you're
trashing the place that's
already been trashed?
303
00:16:22,111 --> 00:16:24,200
Okay, so one time at school,
304
00:16:24,244 --> 00:16:26,202
another student,
Frankie realized,
305
00:16:26,246 --> 00:16:29,945
had hacked into her computer
and lifted parts of her thesis,
306
00:16:29,989 --> 00:16:32,034
so...
307
00:16:32,078 --> 00:16:34,776
the next semester she wrote
the entire thing out longhand
308
00:16:34,819 --> 00:16:37,083
on legal paper
and hid it in her dorm room
309
00:16:37,126 --> 00:16:38,998
under a floorboard.
310
00:16:54,274 --> 00:16:55,927
So, Frankie refused
Nina's offer
311
00:16:55,971 --> 00:16:58,060
but then did the work in secret.
312
00:16:58,104 --> 00:16:59,757
Frankie's disappearance,
the murders--
313
00:16:59,801 --> 00:17:01,803
all of this is happening
because she solved
314
00:17:01,846 --> 00:17:03,761
how to turn the world's
deadliest snake venom
315
00:17:03,805 --> 00:17:05,807
into a nerve agent.
316
00:17:15,817 --> 00:17:17,123
Okay.
317
00:17:17,166 --> 00:17:19,212
Everything Agent Harris
told us checks out,
318
00:17:19,255 --> 00:17:21,431
but I still have more
questions,
319
00:17:21,475 --> 00:17:22,824
what would be the timeline
for someone
320
00:17:22,867 --> 00:17:25,218
to transform Frankie's ideas
into a reality?
321
00:17:25,261 --> 00:17:28,395
Short. According to her notes,
she cracked the whole thing.
322
00:17:28,438 --> 00:17:31,398
How to extract toxins from
the golden lancehead saliva,
323
00:17:31,441 --> 00:17:34,749
how to stabilize them, uh,
how to aerosolize those toxins.
324
00:17:34,792 --> 00:17:36,968
The only real barrier
to production that I saw
325
00:17:37,012 --> 00:17:39,754
was sourcing a supply of venom.
326
00:17:39,797 --> 00:17:41,756
They didn't steal your
vial from the lab.
327
00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:43,236
So we should proceed
328
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:45,716
as if someone's already
crossed over that threshold.
329
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,415
Agreed. Let's talk
about leads.
330
00:17:49,981 --> 00:17:51,244
He's still even uglier
331
00:17:51,287 --> 00:17:53,246
All attempts
to I.D. this man
332
00:17:53,289 --> 00:17:56,292
have failed, so for now
we're calling him UnSub One.
333
00:17:56,336 --> 00:17:58,990
Likely a former soldier
hired by a terrorist group
334
00:17:59,034 --> 00:18:01,602
or hostile regime
to obtain Frankie's research.
335
00:18:01,645 --> 00:18:02,994
Well, that's one theory.
336
00:18:03,038 --> 00:18:04,822
What's the other?
337
00:18:04,866 --> 00:18:06,302
Frankie partnered with
this man and his team
338
00:18:06,346 --> 00:18:08,913
to stage a robbery,
and then she covered her tracks
339
00:18:08,957 --> 00:18:11,481
by killing everyone
involved with the project.
340
00:18:11,525 --> 00:18:13,440
W-- Are...
341
00:18:13,483 --> 00:18:15,268
That's insane.
Is it?
342
00:18:15,311 --> 00:18:17,618
Yes. Frankie may have done
the science on paper,
343
00:18:17,661 --> 00:18:18,967
but she'd never do that.
344
00:18:19,010 --> 00:18:20,621
Have me killed?
What are you talking about?
345
00:18:20,664 --> 00:18:21,796
Why?
346
00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:23,798
The usual reason. Riley.
347
00:18:24,842 --> 00:18:27,106
Last week $2 million
348
00:18:27,149 --> 00:18:29,108
was deposited
into Frankie's account.
349
00:18:29,151 --> 00:18:30,457
Sent from a shielded account
350
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:32,459
Why didn't Frankie
351
00:18:32,502 --> 00:18:34,330
tell you she'd been
approached by the DoD?
352
00:18:34,374 --> 00:18:36,158
I don't know.How did UnSub One
353
00:18:36,202 --> 00:18:37,464
learn about the nerve agent
354
00:18:37,507 --> 00:18:38,595
if you yourself
didn't know about the project
355
00:18:38,639 --> 00:18:39,727
in your own lab?
356
00:18:39,770 --> 00:18:41,032
I don't know,
but there's got to be
357
00:18:41,076 --> 00:18:42,338
some sort explanation for this.
358
00:18:42,382 --> 00:18:43,992
Yes, there is.
359
00:18:44,035 --> 00:18:46,168
After Frankie was turned down
by the DoD,
360
00:18:46,212 --> 00:18:47,561
she realized there
was more money
361
00:18:47,604 --> 00:18:49,432
to be made in
the black market
362
00:18:49,476 --> 00:18:52,653
and she reached out to this man
for help in pulling it off.
363
00:18:52,696 --> 00:18:55,612
Okay, Mac, we need to be open
to all interpretations
364
00:18:55,656 --> 00:18:56,787
of the evidence.
365
00:18:56,831 --> 00:18:59,138
If Frankie were involved-- if...
366
00:19:00,661 --> 00:19:02,184
...how would we locate her?
367
00:19:05,056 --> 00:19:08,321
In order to scale
and produce the nerve agent,
368
00:19:08,364 --> 00:19:10,323
she would have to set up a lab.
369
00:19:10,366 --> 00:19:11,672
Somewhere off the grid.
370
00:19:11,715 --> 00:19:13,326
And I know the type
of equipment she likes.
371
00:19:13,369 --> 00:19:14,675
I can cross-reference
372
00:19:14,718 --> 00:19:16,459
lab equipment point of sales
from shipments
373
00:19:16,503 --> 00:19:18,635
to a single location.Let's do it.
374
00:19:38,394 --> 00:19:39,917
We came to the right place.
375
00:19:41,919 --> 00:19:43,356
It doesn't make any sense.
376
00:19:43,399 --> 00:19:45,358
If Frankie wanted to make
money, she could make money.
377
00:19:45,401 --> 00:19:47,534
She became a scientist
to help people.
378
00:19:47,577 --> 00:19:49,231
People change, Mac.
379
00:19:49,275 --> 00:19:52,191
I'm worried about more pressing
problems, like how do we get in?
380
00:19:53,366 --> 00:19:55,368
I got an idea.
381
00:20:15,953 --> 00:20:19,348
30 feet of cement wall and razor wire.
382
00:20:21,132 --> 00:20:23,874
Solution?
The scientific principles
383
00:20:23,918 --> 00:20:26,137
behind my favorite
Summer Olympic sport.
384
00:20:27,138 --> 00:20:28,575
Hold tight.He's not...
385
00:20:28,618 --> 00:20:31,099
Pole-vaulting? Oh, yeah.
386
00:20:31,142 --> 00:20:33,275
A running pole-vaulter
builds up kinetic energy,
387
00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:35,451
which is then transferred
to the pole,
388
00:20:35,495 --> 00:20:37,192
propelling
the vaulter vertically.
389
00:20:38,628 --> 00:20:40,369
Too bad Matty doesn't
give out gold medals.
390
00:20:40,413 --> 00:20:42,415
Sick nasty.
391
00:20:54,818 --> 00:20:56,994
You were hard on him before.
392
00:20:57,038 --> 00:20:58,300
Who?
393
00:20:58,344 --> 00:21:00,650
Unnecessarily.
394
00:21:00,694 --> 00:21:03,610
One of my agents didn't disclose
he'd been running a secret lab
395
00:21:03,653 --> 00:21:05,612
researching lethal and
illegal substances.
396
00:21:05,655 --> 00:21:08,310
I have a right to be pissed
when it all goes pear-shaped.
397
00:21:08,354 --> 00:21:10,356
This job requires
a lot from us.
398
00:21:10,399 --> 00:21:12,706
I won't fault Mac for wanting
something outside of it.
399
00:21:12,749 --> 00:21:14,185
Ah, yes, there it is.
400
00:21:14,229 --> 00:21:16,492
That excuse.
401
00:21:16,536 --> 00:21:18,494
That justification for the lie.
402
00:21:18,538 --> 00:21:21,367
That small fissure is
all it takes for something
403
00:21:21,410 --> 00:21:25,675
far more sinister to slip its
claws in and tear us all apart.
404
00:21:28,678 --> 00:21:30,332
Mercenaries for hire,
405
00:21:30,376 --> 00:21:32,247
shady divisions
of democratic governments,
406
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:35,337
dangerous weapons.
407
00:21:35,381 --> 00:21:37,339
You're thinking
about the bioweapon
408
00:21:37,383 --> 00:21:39,689
you built for the U.S.
government, aren't you?
409
00:21:41,212 --> 00:21:44,346
Hades-X1 also started off
with good intentions.
410
00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:46,957
At least that's
the lie I fed myself.
411
00:21:47,001 --> 00:21:48,394
The money helped it
go down easy,
412
00:21:48,437 --> 00:21:51,527
and the next thing I knew...
413
00:21:51,571 --> 00:21:54,356
a weapon of mass destruction
existed with a patent
414
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,793
issued to yours truly.
415
00:22:00,928 --> 00:22:02,886
We've both done things
we're not proud of.
416
00:22:02,930 --> 00:22:05,236
It's the price we pay
for the world we operate in.
417
00:22:06,890 --> 00:22:08,152
Look, I've struggled
418
00:22:08,196 --> 00:22:10,372
with the moral traps
of this job for a long time.
419
00:22:10,416 --> 00:22:13,723
But at the end of the day, I've
made peace with the fact that...
420
00:22:13,767 --> 00:22:16,378
there's just no simple answers.
421
00:22:30,610 --> 00:22:32,351
Why is it so hot in here?
422
00:22:33,439 --> 00:22:35,223
Huh.
423
00:22:35,266 --> 00:22:36,398
What?
424
00:22:36,442 --> 00:22:38,008
Uh, nothing.
425
00:22:38,052 --> 00:22:43,405
Just, those are UVB lights,
also known as reptile lights.
426
00:22:43,449 --> 00:22:46,582
That plus the temperature makes
it the perfect climate for...
427
00:22:48,541 --> 00:22:50,543
Oh, oh, no, no, no.
428
00:22:50,586 --> 00:22:52,545
No, don't say it,
don't say it, don't say it.
429
00:22:52,588 --> 00:22:55,025
If you don't say it,
I can pretend they're not here.
430
00:22:55,069 --> 00:22:56,853
Pretend what's not there?
431
00:22:56,897 --> 00:22:58,333
You're making it worse.
432
00:22:58,377 --> 00:23:00,204
Sorry.
433
00:23:02,816 --> 00:23:04,426
Matty,
434
00:23:04,470 --> 00:23:05,601
bad news.
435
00:23:05,645 --> 00:23:09,300
UnSub One has acquired
a lot of venom.
436
00:23:09,344 --> 00:23:11,825
He has everything he needs...
437
00:23:11,868 --> 00:23:13,870
for the nerve agent.
438
00:23:20,311 --> 00:23:24,272
Did you know the national animal
of Scotland is a unicorn?
439
00:23:24,315 --> 00:23:26,274

450
00:23:56,522 --> 00:23:58,480
Hello?
451
00:23:58,524 --> 00:23:59,568
I'm in here!
452
00:24:01,309 --> 00:24:02,745
Hello?!Frankie?
453
00:24:02,789 --> 00:24:04,486
Hello?Frankie!
454
00:24:04,530 --> 00:24:09,099
Uh, just hold on one second.
455
00:24:09,143 --> 00:24:10,623
I'm gonna get you out of here.
456
00:24:15,366 --> 00:24:16,759
Here's another fun fact.
457
00:24:16,803 --> 00:24:18,805
When a golden lancehead
attacks,
458
00:24:18,848 --> 00:24:20,415
its venom reacts with the iron
459
00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:21,808
in the red blood cells
of its prey...
460
00:24:23,592 --> 00:24:25,159
...creating an acidic
by-product
461
00:24:25,202 --> 00:24:29,468
strong enough to eat flesh
and corrode metal.
462
00:24:42,089 --> 00:24:43,656
Frankie,
are you okay?
463
00:24:43,699 --> 00:24:45,875
Yeah. Yeah, I am now.
464
00:24:45,919 --> 00:24:48,399
I didn't think you guys
were gonna find me, thank you.
465
00:24:48,443 --> 00:24:50,489
Listen, we talked to DoD,
I found your notebooks.
466
00:24:50,532 --> 00:24:52,229
And this lab--
what's going on?
467
00:24:52,273 --> 00:24:53,579
Okay, I-I swear I had no choice.
468
00:24:53,622 --> 00:24:54,884
The men who grabbed me,
they said they were gonna
469
00:24:54,928 --> 00:24:56,930
kill Ben and Sandra
and you if I didn't do
470
00:24:56,973 --> 00:24:58,279
exactly what they said.
471
00:24:58,322 --> 00:24:59,454
I swear.
472
00:24:59,498 --> 00:25:00,716
You got to believe me.
473
00:25:03,589 --> 00:25:04,894
I believe you.
474
00:25:04,938 --> 00:25:06,113
DESI:We can talk about
all of that later.
475
00:25:06,156 --> 00:25:07,897
Priority is
getting you out of here
476
00:25:07,941 --> 00:25:09,551
before they force you
to finish that weapon.
477
00:25:09,595 --> 00:25:11,597
Oh, but the nerve agent's done.
478
00:25:12,946 --> 00:25:14,556
I already gave it to 'em.
479
00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:30,137
Updated the composite
with the new info from Frankie,
480
00:25:30,180 --> 00:25:31,834
still nothing.
481
00:25:31,878 --> 00:25:34,315
Desi, animal control is on
the way to pick up those snakes.
482
00:25:36,056 --> 00:25:38,058
Any luck getting
the PMCs to talk?
483
00:25:40,669 --> 00:25:43,019
Well, they're
the strong, silent type.
484
00:25:43,063 --> 00:25:44,238
That's warfighter code.
485
00:25:44,281 --> 00:25:45,674
Soon as they talk,
they become unhireable.
486
00:25:45,718 --> 00:25:47,981
Which means Frankie
remains our only hope.
487
00:25:48,024 --> 00:25:49,635
Okay, go through
her story again.
488
00:25:49,678 --> 00:25:51,375
See if you can shake
loose any details
489
00:25:51,419 --> 00:25:53,073
that'll help us I.D. UnSub One
490
00:25:53,116 --> 00:25:54,640
before he ghosts
with that nerve agent.
491
00:25:54,683 --> 00:25:57,207
Mac's working on it.
492
00:25:59,775 --> 00:26:03,649
Ben and... Sandra.
493
00:26:03,692 --> 00:26:06,913
I just can't believe it.
494
00:26:06,956 --> 00:26:09,480
I'm so sorry, Frankie.
495
00:26:11,308 --> 00:26:13,136
But you know what?
I need your help.
496
00:26:13,180 --> 00:26:15,312
Or they won't be
the last ones who get hurt.
497
00:26:15,356 --> 00:26:18,228
Can you, uh, run us
through the story?
498
00:26:18,272 --> 00:26:22,058
Um...
499
00:26:22,102 --> 00:26:25,279
I, uh... I was approached
500
00:26:25,322 --> 00:26:28,064
by the DoD woman
Nina Harris
501
00:26:28,108 --> 00:26:30,937
to engineer a nerve agent
from the golden lancehead venom.
502
00:26:32,329 --> 00:26:36,159
I said no. Of course I said no.
503
00:26:36,203 --> 00:26:38,074
But once the idea
was planted, you know,
504
00:26:38,118 --> 00:26:39,641
it-it hooked onto my brain.
505
00:26:39,685 --> 00:26:41,730
It became this...
506
00:26:41,774 --> 00:26:44,124
this logic problem I couldn't
stop trying to solve.
507
00:26:44,167 --> 00:26:46,735
You know, I needed to know
that the DoD was right.
508
00:26:46,779 --> 00:26:50,609
That the techniques we developed
could make this weapon.
509
00:26:50,652 --> 00:26:53,089
So I kept my work off-line.
510
00:26:53,133 --> 00:26:58,573
And after a week
of all-nighters, I cracked it.
511
00:26:58,617 --> 00:27:01,097
What about the $2 million
deposited
512
00:27:01,141 --> 00:27:02,621
into your bank account?Okay, I know
513
00:27:02,664 --> 00:27:04,710
this is gonna sound crazy,
but a few days
514
00:27:04,753 --> 00:27:06,712
after I met with Nina,
it just showed up.
515
00:27:06,755 --> 00:27:08,931
Two million bucks,
just like that.
516
00:27:08,975 --> 00:27:10,933
And then at the same time,
I-I started noticing
517
00:27:10,977 --> 00:27:14,763
people, like, following me,
uh, noises on my phone, um,
518
00:27:14,807 --> 00:27:16,765
a car parked outside
my place late at night.
519
00:27:16,809 --> 00:27:18,114
At first I thought
I was just being paranoid,
520
00:27:18,158 --> 00:27:19,507
and then
521
00:27:19,550 --> 00:27:21,857
I realized,
if the DoD figured out
522
00:27:21,901 --> 00:27:24,120
what I was capable of, then...
523
00:27:24,164 --> 00:27:26,470
maybe somebody else did, too.
524
00:27:26,514 --> 00:27:29,256
That's why you didn't tell me.
'Cause you were being watched.
525
00:27:30,823 --> 00:27:32,651
You know, this all
sounds very familiar.
526
00:27:32,694 --> 00:27:35,305
Intimidation, cash
falling from the sky.
527
00:27:35,349 --> 00:27:39,222
What if Frankie was wrong
about who was following her?
528
00:27:39,266 --> 00:27:41,703
Angus, Matilda and I are
gonna follow up on a lead.
529
00:27:41,747 --> 00:27:43,183
You get Frankie somewhere safe.
530
00:27:43,226 --> 00:27:44,271
Copy that.
531
00:27:44,314 --> 00:27:46,665
All right,
let's get out of here.
532
00:27:48,623 --> 00:27:49,972
Oh.
533
00:27:52,279 --> 00:27:53,933
If we don't move,
it can't see us, right?
534
00:27:53,976 --> 00:27:55,761
Unfortunately,
I don't think T. rex rules
535
00:27:55,804 --> 00:27:58,807
apply here,
so we're just gonna slowly
536
00:27:58,851 --> 00:28:01,244
back away towards
the other exit.
537
00:28:04,334 --> 00:28:06,119
Oh, whoa, there's another.
538
00:28:06,162 --> 00:28:07,424
All right, everybody
keep your eyes open.
539
00:28:07,468 --> 00:28:08,991
We have no idea how many
are out right now.
540
00:28:13,822 --> 00:28:15,128
We are all aware that
they climb trees, right?
541
00:28:15,171 --> 00:28:17,957
Yeah, but somehow
being up here
542
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,002
makes me feel so much safer.
543
00:28:20,046 --> 00:28:22,788
Mac, I read that when poachers
go on the island in Brazil,
544
00:28:22,831 --> 00:28:24,703
they bring
ultrasonic repellers.
545
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:27,444
Oh, Frankie,
546
00:28:27,488 --> 00:28:28,619
you're a genius.
547
00:28:28,663 --> 00:28:31,100
Snakes' inner ears
are fixed
548
00:28:31,144 --> 00:28:32,841
to their jawbones,
only allowing them to hear
549
00:28:32,885 --> 00:28:34,016
low-end sounds.
550
00:28:34,060 --> 00:28:36,366
But vibrations
of higher frequencies,
551
00:28:36,410 --> 00:28:40,327
they can feel through
receptors in their skin.
552
00:28:40,370 --> 00:28:42,503
Frankie, that pole.
Yeah.
553
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:49,815
Thank you.
554
00:28:49,858 --> 00:28:51,207
All right, everyone.
555
00:28:52,252 --> 00:28:53,557
Watch my back.
556
00:29:13,012 --> 00:29:15,405
All right, everyone,
557
00:29:33,815 --> 00:29:35,643
All right, that's it, like
we're going out of business.
558
00:29:35,686 --> 00:29:36,862
Everything must go.
559
00:29:36,905 --> 00:29:38,907
Hey! You can't be in here!
560
00:29:43,172 --> 00:29:45,871
Russel Taylor.
Director Webber, I presume?
561
00:29:45,914 --> 00:29:47,568
You do not have
permission to be here.
562
00:29:47,611 --> 00:29:48,743
Oh, well, judging by
563
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:50,353
how fast your boys
are packing up shop,
564
00:29:50,397 --> 00:29:52,051
I'm guessing neither do you.
565
00:29:52,094 --> 00:29:54,227
At least not officially, anyway.
566
00:29:54,270 --> 00:29:55,706
And speaking
of not following laws,
567
00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:59,101
some details of your operation
have come to light
568
00:29:59,145 --> 00:30:00,624
since our last conversation.
569
00:30:00,668 --> 00:30:02,844
I answered
all of your questions.
570
00:30:02,888 --> 00:30:05,238
Yes, while omitting just enough
to stay out of trouble.
571
00:30:05,281 --> 00:30:06,587
In fact,
I realized
572
00:30:06,630 --> 00:30:08,241
I've been in
your exact position before.
573
00:30:08,284 --> 00:30:10,634
And so I asked myself,
what would I do
574
00:30:10,678 --> 00:30:12,288
if Frankie declined my offer?
575
00:30:12,332 --> 00:30:14,943
Would I respectfully
walk away?
576
00:30:14,987 --> 00:30:16,510
No, not a chance.
577
00:30:16,553 --> 00:30:19,034
intimidation.
578
00:30:19,078 --> 00:30:20,731
Make the target think
they're being followed,
579
00:30:20,775 --> 00:30:22,211
then spring the payday,
580
00:30:22,255 --> 00:30:25,824
reconnect, but this time
the cash comes with protection.
581
00:30:25,867 --> 00:30:29,218
Protection against the person
that you hired to scare her.
582
00:30:29,262 --> 00:30:31,481
Matilda, what sort of chaps
would you use to do that?
583
00:30:31,525 --> 00:30:33,570
Not DoD.
Too much red tape.
584
00:30:33,614 --> 00:30:34,833
Chaps like me.
585
00:30:34,876 --> 00:30:36,878
Private muscle,
professional,
586
00:30:36,922 --> 00:30:38,271
dubious morals.
587
00:30:38,314 --> 00:30:40,621
And that answers
another question.
588
00:30:40,664 --> 00:30:43,754
How did UnSub One even learn
about Frankie's research
589
00:30:43,798 --> 00:30:45,800
in the first place if not
even MacGyver knew about it?
590
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:48,803
TAYLOR:Unless he was
one of the PMC chaps
591
00:30:48,847 --> 00:30:51,501
that you hired
to intimidate Frankie.
592
00:30:51,545 --> 00:30:53,939
But I also know
that murder
593
00:30:53,982 --> 00:30:55,462
isn't in the DoD playbook.
594
00:30:55,505 --> 00:30:57,246
So tell us, Nina,
595
00:30:57,290 --> 00:30:58,857
what went wrong?
596
00:31:03,296 --> 00:31:06,473
After we talked in the park,
I did some digging,
597
00:31:06,516 --> 00:31:08,475
and I found out
that the guys I hired
598
00:31:08,518 --> 00:31:10,129
to intimidate Frankie
had gone to ground.
599
00:31:10,172 --> 00:31:13,610
Hence the bug-out operation.
I see you're cutting ties.
600
00:31:13,654 --> 00:31:15,656
Best I can tell,
he saw the bigger payday.
601
00:31:15,699 --> 00:31:17,484
He killed the lab techs,
he abducted Frankie,
602
00:31:17,527 --> 00:31:19,616
and he's probably forcing her
to finish the nerve agent.
603
00:31:19,660 --> 00:31:21,531
Well, that all checks out,
except for the last part.
604
00:31:23,272 --> 00:31:25,709
Frankie finished
the nerve agent, past tense.
605
00:31:25,753 --> 00:31:28,930
Your rogue muscle already has
enough in his possession
606
00:31:28,974 --> 00:31:30,976
to kill thousands.
607
00:31:31,019 --> 00:31:32,194
So we need to know...
608
00:31:34,022 --> 00:31:35,719
...who is he?
609
00:31:39,767 --> 00:31:40,986
Donick Luca.
610
00:31:41,029 --> 00:31:43,727
Court-martialed Marine
turned mercenary.
611
00:31:43,771 --> 00:31:46,295
Has a reputation for taking jobs
nobody else will.
612
00:31:48,645 --> 00:31:50,038
I've got a rental
in Donick's name
613
00:31:50,082 --> 00:31:51,518
heading for
the U.S.-Mexico border.
614
00:31:51,561 --> 00:31:53,520
They're taking back roads.
Can I see this?
615
00:31:53,563 --> 00:31:55,478
Yeah.
Look.
616
00:31:55,522 --> 00:31:58,046
If we hurry, we can cut them off
at this gas station right there.
617
00:32:00,179 --> 00:32:02,268
Give me directions
to 945 Stoke Road,
618
00:32:02,311 --> 00:32:03,834
Dulzura, California.
619
00:32:03,878 --> 00:32:07,621
Please proceedto the highlighted route.
620
00:32:07,664 --> 00:32:09,362
Des, we're 30 minutes out.
621
00:32:09,405 --> 00:32:11,625
Hit it.With pleasure.
622
00:32:40,871 --> 00:32:42,003
Anyone got Donick?
623
00:32:42,047 --> 00:32:43,439
He's not up front.
624
00:32:45,528 --> 00:32:46,877
Not in back, either.
625
00:32:51,621 --> 00:32:53,536
Mac?
626
00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:54,798
Yeah? Is the nerve
agent back here?
627
00:32:56,626 --> 00:32:57,845
Half of it is.
628
00:32:59,586 --> 00:33:01,588
Where's your boss
and the rest
629
00:33:01,631 --> 00:33:03,372
of the nerve agent?
630
00:33:04,460 --> 00:33:05,809
Don't worry about it.
631
00:33:05,853 --> 00:33:08,247
This truck will talk
way faster than he does.
632
00:33:13,948 --> 00:33:17,038
Looks like they made one stop
between here and the lab.
633
00:33:17,082 --> 00:33:19,736
San Diego Airport.
634
00:33:19,780 --> 00:33:21,129
Boze, run a facial rec scan
635
00:33:21,173 --> 00:33:23,131
at the international terminal.
636
00:33:23,175 --> 00:33:25,133
Okay.
637
00:33:29,094 --> 00:33:30,530
Got him.
638
00:33:30,573 --> 00:33:32,619
Donick used an alias to check
into a flight to Ecuador
639
00:33:32,662 --> 00:33:35,448
that's still boarding--
and get this, he checked a bag.
640
00:33:35,491 --> 00:33:38,146
He checked a proprietary nerve
agent on a commercial flight?
641
00:33:38,190 --> 00:33:39,452
They hedged their bets.
642
00:33:39,495 --> 00:33:41,280
They sent half
out of the country by road
643
00:33:41,323 --> 00:33:43,325
and half by air,
hidden in plain sight.
644
00:33:43,369 --> 00:33:45,240
I'm gonna ground all planes
and lock down the airport.
645
00:33:45,284 --> 00:33:46,720
Get there
and secure that package.
646
00:33:46,763 --> 00:33:47,677
Copy that.
647
00:33:47,721 --> 00:33:49,070
Wait, wait, wait.What's wrong?
648
00:33:49,114 --> 00:33:51,116
These guys used an iron-alloy
container for transport,
649
00:33:51,159 --> 00:33:53,509
which would be fine,
except the TSA switched
650
00:33:53,553 --> 00:33:55,120
to ionizing radiation
for baggage scans.
651
00:33:55,163 --> 00:33:57,774
Which destabilizes the formula
bonding the nerve agent--
652
00:33:57,818 --> 00:34:00,081
the venom's gonna
react with the iron.
653
00:34:03,128 --> 00:34:06,174
If we don't get that bagand contain the breach...Yeah.
654
00:34:06,218 --> 00:34:07,523
Then everyone
in the airport will be exposed
655
00:34:07,567 --> 00:34:09,569
to the nerve agent and die.
656
00:34:24,366 --> 00:34:27,369
TSA and local police
are evacuating the airport,
657
00:34:27,413 --> 00:34:29,850
but there are a lot of people to
move and it's gonna take time.
658
00:34:32,592 --> 00:34:34,115
What about Donick?
659
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:35,638
Police didn't find him
at his gate.
660
00:34:35,682 --> 00:34:36,770
They're searching
the airport now.
661
00:34:36,813 --> 00:34:38,206
Then our only hope
is that they find
662
00:34:38,250 --> 00:34:39,686
the nerve agent
before it eats through
663
00:34:39,729 --> 00:34:41,557
the container and contaminates
everyone at the airport.
664
00:34:41,601 --> 00:34:43,907
It's easier
said than done.
665
00:34:48,564 --> 00:34:50,000
All right, Mac,
666
00:34:50,044 --> 00:34:52,481
each luggage tag has
a unique RFID signature
667
00:34:52,525 --> 00:34:54,353
that gets scanned as it moves
through the system.
668
00:34:54,396 --> 00:34:55,571
So we can use those scans
669
00:34:55,615 --> 00:34:57,051
to find the suitcase
with the weapon.
670
00:34:57,095 --> 00:34:59,314
Exactly. All right, now,
somewhere around you,
671
00:34:59,358 --> 00:35:01,360
look for a pink bag
with a pony on it.
672
00:35:01,403 --> 00:35:04,711
That's the bag Donick's using
to transport the nerve agent in?
673
00:35:04,754 --> 00:35:06,191
No, but it's heading
towards Donick's bag,
674
00:35:06,234 --> 00:35:07,409
and you're hitching a ride.
675
00:35:12,980 --> 00:35:14,068
Well, good news, Matty--
676
00:35:14,112 --> 00:35:15,591
we found Donick.
677
00:35:15,635 --> 00:35:17,506
He must have figured out why
the airport was closed down
678
00:35:17,550 --> 00:35:19,421
and came to recover the
nerve agent before we did.
679
00:35:19,465 --> 00:35:21,380
Mac, I know
you've got your hands full,
680
00:35:21,423 --> 00:35:23,164
but the train's
about to leave the station.
681
00:35:23,208 --> 00:35:24,948
Go! I got him.
682
00:35:47,971 --> 00:35:49,582
Okay, that was fun.
683
00:35:49,625 --> 00:35:51,453
Can you stop this thing?
684
00:35:51,497 --> 00:35:53,325
No, I'm operating
on read privileges only.
685
00:35:53,368 --> 00:35:55,240
All right, what next?
686
00:35:55,283 --> 00:35:57,285
Now, any minute you're gonna
be near another conveyor belt
687
00:35:57,329 --> 00:35:58,939
traveling
the opposite direction.
688
00:35:58,982 --> 00:36:00,549
Okay. Okay.
689
00:36:00,593 --> 00:36:01,594
Okay.
690
00:36:08,209 --> 00:36:09,210
Mac.
691
00:36:09,254 --> 00:36:10,429
The nerve agent's in a black
692
00:36:10,472 --> 00:36:11,865
hard-shell suitcase.
693
00:36:11,908 --> 00:36:14,259
It's coming your way
on a baggage cart in three...
694
00:36:14,302 --> 00:36:16,565
two...
695
00:36:16,609 --> 00:36:18,306
one.
696
00:36:30,013 --> 00:36:31,450
I need some identifying feature.
697
00:36:31,493 --> 00:36:32,494
The one you're looking for
698
00:36:32,538 --> 00:36:34,366
has a built-in lock.
699
00:36:50,338 --> 00:36:51,992
The containers
are already deteriorating.
700
00:36:52,035 --> 00:36:53,994
I don't have enough time
to get it out of the airport.
701
00:36:54,037 --> 00:36:55,038
Mac, what are you gonna do?
702
00:36:56,039 --> 00:36:57,867
Improvise.
703
00:37:11,707 --> 00:37:13,927
Wait a second.
Riley, all of these bags
704
00:37:13,970 --> 00:37:16,016
have been scanned
by the TSA, right?
705
00:37:16,059 --> 00:37:17,496
Yeah. Why?
706
00:37:17,539 --> 00:37:20,194
Okay. I need you to help me
with a shopping list,
707
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:22,370
starting
with nail polish remover.
708
00:37:22,414 --> 00:37:24,807
Look for a makeup kit.All right.
709
00:37:24,851 --> 00:37:26,374
Uh...
710
00:37:26,418 --> 00:37:29,464
Red duffel, outside pocket.
711
00:37:29,508 --> 00:37:31,510
What else?Shaving cream.
712
00:37:31,553 --> 00:37:33,251
Look for the oversized
stuffed backpack
713
00:37:33,294 --> 00:37:34,643
coming by you right now.
714
00:37:38,908 --> 00:37:41,084
All right,
now for the hard part. Glue.
715
00:37:45,524 --> 00:37:47,439
Mac.
716
00:37:47,482 --> 00:37:49,963
Canvas satchel, service rack,
right above you.
717
00:37:52,879 --> 00:37:55,316
He's creating a
fast-hardening sealant.
718
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,057
Frankie's right.
I can't use another bag
719
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:59,277
to contain
the aerosolized nerve agent,
720
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,191
because even a microscopic hole
721
00:38:01,235 --> 00:38:02,889
would allow the toxin
to escape.
722
00:38:02,932 --> 00:38:05,587
However, when these items
are mixed together,
723
00:38:05,631 --> 00:38:08,111
they'll expand to 30 times their liquid volume
724
00:38:08,155 --> 00:38:10,375
before hardening
into an airtight shell.
725
00:38:10,418 --> 00:38:12,420
Now, let's just hope
that happens
726
00:38:12,464 --> 00:38:14,770
before the nerve agent leaks.
727
00:38:23,126 --> 00:38:26,173
It worked. It worked.
728
00:38:26,216 --> 00:38:28,306
It's contained.
729
00:38:33,223 --> 00:38:35,051
Great job, Mac.
730
00:38:35,095 --> 00:38:36,618
Sit tight.
Hazmat's on the way.
731
00:38:36,662 --> 00:38:39,142
I'll notify local authorities
and let them know the threat
732
00:38:39,186 --> 00:38:40,927
has been neutralized.
733
00:38:58,510 --> 00:39:00,207
We have the nerve agent.
734
00:39:00,250 --> 00:39:02,383
Placing it
in containment now.
735
00:39:09,825 --> 00:39:12,741
How you holding up?
736
00:39:12,785 --> 00:39:14,221
Fine.
737
00:39:14,264 --> 00:39:16,136
Told the hazmat team
everything they needed to know
738
00:39:16,179 --> 00:39:17,572
for transport and disposal.
739
00:39:17,616 --> 00:39:19,313
And I volunteered
to work with them
740
00:39:19,357 --> 00:39:20,749
until they develop
an antidote.
741
00:39:20,793 --> 00:39:22,403
That could take months.
742
00:39:22,447 --> 00:39:24,013
Well, years, probably,
but eventually
743
00:39:24,057 --> 00:39:25,667
someone's gonna discover
the same thing I did,
744
00:39:25,711 --> 00:39:26,929
and we have to be ready.
745
00:39:26,973 --> 00:39:28,409
Yeah.Hey, who better
746
00:39:28,453 --> 00:39:30,324
to lead the team than the
monster who created it?
747
00:39:30,368 --> 00:39:31,543
Frankie.
748
00:39:31,586 --> 00:39:34,067
This mess is as much
my fault as it is yours.
749
00:39:34,110 --> 00:39:37,462
Well, there's plenty
of blame to go around.
750
00:39:37,505 --> 00:39:40,943
You know, this cancer treatment
could still work.
751
00:39:40,987 --> 00:39:43,337
It's a good idea, Mac.
752
00:39:45,078 --> 00:39:48,647
But honestly I wish I'd never
walked into that pet shop.
753
00:39:49,691 --> 00:39:51,389
All right, talk soon.
754
00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:12,975
So, uh...
755
00:40:13,019 --> 00:40:16,065
remember that, uh,
secret that I was keeping?
756
00:40:16,109 --> 00:40:19,373
It kind of sort of blew up
in my face.
757
00:40:20,505 --> 00:40:23,464
Yeah.
758
00:40:23,508 --> 00:40:26,641
But even if it hadn't,
I'd still owe you an apology.
759
00:40:26,685 --> 00:40:27,990
So...
760
00:40:28,034 --> 00:40:29,514
Apology accepted.
761
00:40:29,557 --> 00:40:30,602
Thank you.
762
00:40:30,645 --> 00:40:32,473
But you're still
not off the hook.
763
00:40:32,517 --> 00:40:34,823
I want an explanation
on why you did it.
764
00:40:34,867 --> 00:40:36,042
The real reason.
765
00:40:38,348 --> 00:40:41,003
Just,
at the time it felt like...
766
00:40:41,047 --> 00:40:43,223
Codex was infecting
everything around me,
767
00:40:43,266 --> 00:40:46,139
and I just wanted to do
this one good, pure thing
768
00:40:46,182 --> 00:40:48,576
the world couldn't get
its hands on and mess up.
769
00:40:48,620 --> 00:40:51,231
And the irony is,
I was willing to do a whole lot
770
00:40:51,274 --> 00:40:53,973
that I'm not proud of
to make it happen.
771
00:40:54,016 --> 00:40:56,192
Was that so hard?
772
00:40:56,236 --> 00:40:58,673
All right.
I got to go talk to Matty.
773
00:40:58,717 --> 00:41:00,109
Okay.Okay.
774
00:41:06,115 --> 00:41:08,422
Hey, boss.
You wanted to see me?
775
00:41:08,466 --> 00:41:10,076
Yeah. Close the door.
776
00:41:14,341 --> 00:41:16,517
Let me start
777
00:41:16,561 --> 00:41:18,650
by saying I'm sorry.
I really should have...
778
00:41:18,693 --> 00:41:21,870
told you what Frankie and I's
research entailed.
779
00:41:21,914 --> 00:41:23,481
This isn't about the research.
780
00:41:23,524 --> 00:41:25,091
It's not?
781
00:41:25,134 --> 00:41:26,353
No.
782
00:41:26,396 --> 00:41:28,181
Mac, when you asked me
for funding
783
00:41:28,224 --> 00:41:30,183
for cancer research
in your father's name,
784
00:41:30,226 --> 00:41:32,315
it was my choice
not to ask you any questions.
785
00:41:32,359 --> 00:41:35,667
I knew that it was something
that you wanted, needed
786
00:41:35,710 --> 00:41:36,755
to do alone.
787
00:41:36,798 --> 00:41:38,583
And I understand why.
788
00:41:38,626 --> 00:41:40,715
I wouldn't have
agreed otherwise,
789
00:41:40,759 --> 00:41:42,064
because I trust you.
790
00:41:42,108 --> 00:41:44,458
And so I hope
that this trust
791
00:41:44,502 --> 00:41:47,026
is a two-way street, because...
792
00:41:47,069 --> 00:41:49,768
we may need to lean on
each other now more than ever.
793
00:41:50,812 --> 00:41:52,031
Of course.
794
00:41:52,074 --> 00:41:53,685
What's going on?When we searched
795
00:41:53,728 --> 00:41:56,078
Donick's belongings,
we found a cell phone.
796
00:41:56,122 --> 00:41:58,864
The last message received
included a location
797
00:41:58,907 --> 00:42:01,214
for a dead drop to
deliver the nerve agent.
798
00:42:01,257 --> 00:42:03,259
The message was from the buyer?Yes.
799
00:42:03,303 --> 00:42:05,000
Signed with this.
800
00:42:10,615 --> 00:42:12,094
Codex?
801
00:42:12,138 --> 00:42:14,009
But... who? How?
802
00:42:14,053 --> 00:42:15,663
I don't know.
803
00:42:15,707 --> 00:42:19,014
But if someone's using Codex's
encrypted communication system,
804
00:42:19,058 --> 00:42:21,713
it could mean...Somebody's putting the band
back together.
