have you been doing

how to use a telephone.

And then, a-after he died,
158
00:07:44,376 --> 00:07:46,335
I decided to develop
that treatment,
159
00:07:46,378 --> 00:07:48,511
do something good
in his honor.
160
00:07:48,555 --> 00:07:50,905

through an angel investor
161
00:07:50,948 --> 00:07:53,516
and convinced my friend
Frankie to do the day-to-day.
162

at you right now,

356
00:17:31,441 --> 00:17:34,749
how to stabilize them, uh,
how to aerosolize those toxins.
357
00:17:34,792 --> 00:17:36,968
The only real barrier
to production that I saw
358
00:17:37,012 --> 00:17:39,754
was sourcing a supply of venom.
359
00:17:39,797 --> 00:17:41,756

vial from the lab.

So we should proceed
361
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:45,716

crossed over that threshold.

have failed, so for now
we're calling him UnSub One.
366
00:17:56,336 --> 00:17:58,990
Likely a former soldier
hired by a terrorist group
367
00:17:59,034 --> 00:18:01,602
or hostile regime
to obtain Frankie's research.
368

Well, that's one theory.

What's the other?
370
00:18:04,866 --> 00:18:06,302
Frankie partnered with
this man and his team
371
00:18:06,346 --> 00:18:08,913
to stage a robbery,
and then she covered her tracks
372
00:18:08,957 --> 00:18:11,481
by killing everyone
involved with the project.
373

That's insane.
Is it?

Yes. Frankie may have done
the science on paper,
376
00:18:17,661 --> 00:18:18,967

00:18:34,374 --> 00:18:36,158

didn't know about the project

389
00:18:39,770 --> 00:18:41,032
I don't know,

390

Yes, there is.

After Frankie was turned down
by the DoD,
393
00:18:46,212 --> 00:18:47,561
she realized there
was more money

the black market
395
00:18:49,476 --> 00:18:52,653
and she reached out to this man
for help in pulling it off.
396
00:18:52,696 --> 00:18:55,612
Okay, Mac, we need to be open
to all interpretations

In order to scale
and produce the nerve agent,
402
00:19:08,364 --> 00:19:10,323
she would have to set up a lab.
403

Um...
[sniffles]
542
00:26:22,102 --> 00:26:25,279
I, uh... I was approached
543
00:26:25,322 --> 00:26:28,064
by the DoD woman
Nina Harris
544
00:26:28,108 --> 00:26:30,937
to engineer a nerve agent
from the golden lancehead venom.
545
00:26:32,329 --> 00:26:36,159
I said no. Of course I said no.
546
00:26:36,203 --> 00:26:38,074
But once the idea
was planted, you know,
547
00:26:38,118 --> 00:26:39,641
it-it hooked onto my brain.
548
00:26:39,685 --> 00:26:41,730
It became this...
549
00:26:41,774 --> 00:26:44,124
this logic problem I couldn't
stop trying to solve.
550
00:26:44,167 --> 00:26:46,735
You know, I needed to know
that the DoD was right.
551
00:26:46,779 --> 00:26:50,609
That the techniques we developed
could make this weapon.
552
00:26:50,652 --> 00:26:53,089
So I kept my work off-line.
553
00:26:53,133 --> 00:26:58,573
And after a week
of all-nighters, I cracked it.
554
00:26:58,617 --> 00:27:01,097
What about the $2 million
deposited
555
00:27:01,141 --> 00:27:02,621
into your bank account?Okay, I know
556
00:27:02,664 --> 00:27:04,710
this is gonna sound crazy,
but a few days
557
00:27:04,753 --> 00:27:06,712
after I met with Nina,
it just showed up.
558
00:27:06,755 --> 00:27:08,931
Two million bucks,
just like that.
559
00:27:08,975 --> 00:27:10,933
And then at the same time,
I-I started noticing
560
00:27:10,977 --> 00:27:14,763
people, like, following me,
uh, noises on my phone, um,
561
00:27:14,807 --> 00:27:16,765
a car parked outside
my place late at night.
562
00:27:16,809 --> 00:27:18,114
At first I thought
I was just being paranoid,
563
00:27:18,158 --> 00:27:19,507
and then
564
00:27:19,550 --> 00:27:21,857
I realized,
if the DoD figured out
565
00:27:21,901 --> 00:27:24,120
what I was capable of, then...
566
00:27:24,164 --> 00:27:26,470
maybe somebody else did, too.
567
00:27:26,514 --> 00:27:29,256
That's why you didn't tell me.
'Cause you were being watched.

sounds very familiar.

falling from the sky.

00:27:35,349 --> 00:27:39,222
What if Frankie was wrong
about who was following her?
571
00:27:39,266 --> 00:27:41,703
Angus, Matilda and I are
gonna follow up on a lead.
572

You get Frankie somewhere safe.

If we don't move,
it can't see us, right?
578
00:27:53,976 --> 00:27:55,761
Unfortunately,
I don't think T. rex rules
579

so we're just gonna slowly

Oh, whoa, there's another.

All right, everybody
keep your eyes open.

We are all aware that
they climb trees, right?
585
00:28:15,171 --> 00:28:17,957
Yeah, but somehow
being up here
586
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,002
makes me feel so much safer.
587
00:28:20,046 --> 00:28:22,788
Mac, I read that when poachers
go on the island in Brazil,
588
00:28:22,831 --> 00:28:24,703
they bring
ultrasonic repellers.

are packing up shop,

of not following laws,

some details of your operation
have come to light
616
00:29:59,145 --> 00:30:00,624
since our last conversation.
617
00:30:00,668 --> 00:30:02,844
I answered
all of your questions.
618

Yes, while omitting just enough
to stay out of trouble.
619

I realized

I've been in
your exact position before.
621
00:30:08,284 --> 00:30:10,634
And so I asked myself,
what would I do
622
00:30:10,678 --> 00:30:12,288
if Frankie declined my offer?
623
00:30:12,332 --> 00:30:14,943
Would I respectfully
walk away?
624
00:30:14,987 --> 00:30:16,510
No, not a chance.
625
00:30:16,553 --> 00:30:19,034
I would go to plan B:
intimidation.
626
00:30:19,078 --> 00:30:20,731
Make the target think
they're being followed,
627
00:30:20,775 --> 00:30:22,211
then spring the payday,
628
00:30:22,255 --> 00:30:25,824
reconnect, but this time
the cash comes with protection.
629
00:30:25,867 --> 00:30:29,218
Protection against the person
that you hired to scare her.
630
00:30:29,262 --> 00:30:31,481
Matilda, what sort of chaps
would you use to do that?
631
00:30:31,525 --> 00:30:33,570
Not DoD.
Too much red tape.
632
00:30:33,614 --> 00:30:34,833

633
00:30:34,876 --> 00:30:36,878

635
00:30:38,314 --> 00:30:40,621
And that answers
another question.
636
00:30:40,664 --> 00:30:43,754
How did UnSub One even learn
about Frankie's research
637
00:30:43,798 --> 00:30:45,800
in the first place if not
even MacGyver knew about it?

one of the PMC chaps

that murder

So tell us, Nina,

00:30:57,290 --> 00:30:58,857
what went wrong?
644
00:31:03,296 --> 00:31:06,473
After we talked in the park,
I did some digging,
645
00:31:06,516 --> 00:31:08,475
and I found out
that the guys I hired
646
00:31:08,518 --> 00:31:10,129
to intimidate Frankie
had gone to ground.
647
00:31:10,172 --> 00:31:13,610
Hence the bug-out operation.
I see you're cutting ties.
648
00:31:13,654 --> 00:31:15,656
Best I can tell,
he saw the bigger payday.
649
00:31:15,699 --> 00:31:17,484
He killed the lab techs,
he abducted Frankie,
650
00:31:17,527 --> 00:31:19,616
and he's probably forcing her
to finish the nerve agent.
651
00:31:19,660 --> 00:31:21,531
Well, that all checks out,
except for the last part.
