MacGyver

Behind the barrier. Sir, please step back.

Pincer is approaching the target.

Sniffer confirms chemical presence

of explosives.

Engaging Pincer's articulated arm now.

Attempting to locate and deactivate

the device.

I do not see a device.

Repeat, there is no bomb inside the duffle.

Confirming. There's no device.

This was a false alarm, people.

Sensors are all screwy.

When we get back to the barn, let's recalibrate the sniffer

and figure out what that...

Nope. Can't do it.

You're gonna need to give me something else.

- Anything else. Boze,

this is truth or dare, and you chose dare.

- No backing out. What stone is that chiseled into?

I believe it is international law.

- What in the what? - Bozer,

either come out of there of your own free will,

or I go back there, and I drag you out.

- Oh, wow. - (laughs)

It was laundry day, okay?

Take all the pictures.

Y'all know y'all like it, huh?

- They sag a little. - Oh.

Then you get to work.

Hey! - (all laugh)

All right, Desi.

It's your turn. Truth or dare?

- Dare. - Not again.

What a surprise.

We've run out of life-threatening dares

that we can accomplish inside the cabin,

so unless you're willing to wing walk,

stop hiding.

Fine, whatever. Truth.

You've been with us for some time now.

In fact, you dropped everything to come to L.A.

and join the Phoenix.

All because of a debt.

Is there a question to all this?

Why do you owe Jack?

- Uh... - (phone ringing)

Oh, Mac, you should answer that.

Oh, no. You're answering first.

I got to...

Hey, buddy, what's going on?

Mac,

I'm gonna get right to it.

We've got a situation.

Hey, everyone, it's Charlie.

Tell us what's going on?

The downtown L.A. federal courthouse

just got bombed.

- Was anyone hurt? Two KIAs.

LAPD bomb techs. Good people.

Though it could have been a lot worse.

- Do we know who's responsible? No.

But whoever they are, they're next-level smart,

'cause they created a false alarm

and put the explosive inside the LAPD robot.

I'm sorry, you said

the bomb was hidden inside the robot?

Affirmative.

- That's insane. - Actually, it's genius.

MacGYVER: Yeah, it's the last thing a bomb squad

would expect

and the last place they'd think to look.

So instead of defusing a bomb, they delivered one.

I'm gonna go look for secondary devices

and check for some answers.

I could really use another set of eyes, Mac.

Yeah.

We're wheels down in 50.

We'll head over then.

I'm in the courthouse now.

- Proceeding to what's left of the IED. - MAN (over comm): Copy that.

Do you see any signs of another device?

Secondary devices are not readily apparent,

but that doesn't mean they're not here.

: Understood.

Proceed with extreme caution.

- (voice cutting out) - Commander?

Can you hear me?

Hey.

This area's closed.

Even to emergency personnel.

For your own safety,

- I'm gonna need you to leave. - I'm afraid I can't do that...

Charlie.

How do you know my name?

Who are you?

Oh, God!

Stand by near Grand Park.

Angus MacGyver.

Charlie called me in to assist.

- Is he already inside? - Yeah. But we lost contact

with Special Agent Robinson almost five minutes ago.

- Did you send someone to look? - We're suiting up

- another tech now. - Let me put on a suit. I'll go in.

Bomb squad!

I asked the FBI field director

and the LAPD commander for control of the scene.

You asked?

In my most polite, non-asking way.

They determine how the bomb

was attached to the robot?

Well, that's my next order of business.

Comms check. Copy?

I got you.

Charlie!

Charlie?

He's not here, but, uh...

No. Wait a second, there's...

drops of blood on the floor.

Mac, two people did die in there.

No. Based on the blast pattern, this happened

after the detonation.

They, uh...

They lead to the...

...fire escape.

So, you think it's Charlie's?

- I hope not. Hey, guys, I was able

to get a lock on the GPS in Charlie's cell.

Where is he?

He's at the Aliso Tower.

It's a high-rise about two blocks from the courthouse.

MacGYVER: What the hell is he doing over there?

- (doors closing) Charlie's here,

but the GPS says he's now at 212 feet.

Which means Charlie's between the 18th

and 21st floors.

Down here.

MacGYVER: Something's wrong.

- Can you get eyes inside? - Yeah. Let me see.

What is it?

Found Charlie.

Wait. Stop! You don't want to do that!

We're federal agents.

And you're here for a stuck elevator?

- In this case, yes. - Trust me,

there's more to this situation than meets the eye.

You got I.D.?

Call that number.

The man in the elevator is a missing bomb technician

from the blast site over at the courthouse.

Yes, but...

Yes, I...

Of course.

Your boss is very persuasive

and slightly terrifying. How do I help?

Well, for now, just leave me your tools and step back.

Until we know more, we need to be very careful.

- (grunts) Riley, can you get the other side? - Yeah, yeah.

We're coming for you, pal.

Thanks.

He's lost a lot of blood, Mac.

- We got to hurry. - Yeah.

Mm-mm!

Mm-mm! (Grunting)

I see your spidey sense is tingling.

MacGYVER: Those sensors.

They're not supposed to be there.

Hang in there, Charlie.

We'll be right back, okay?

Don't suppose they have one of those on all elevators.

I'm gonna have to get down and get a closer look.

What's going on, Mac?

Well, kind of looks like something I would build myself

if I wanted to drop an elevator.

Hey, guys, we're looking

at a homemade cable cutting device here.

Can you disable it?

MacGYVER: I don't know.

A control box has redundancies

and multiple triggers.

And it's wired to the sensors on the glass in the elevator,

so we can't rescue Charlie

without triggering it.

Hey, Charlie, I'm working on getting you

out of there, but first things first.

We got to stop the bleeding.

Thanks.

How did you get in here?

A cop came at me in the courthouse.

Never seen him before, but he knew my name.

He shot me, drugged me.

Mac, what the hell is going on?

I don't know.

Why do I get the feeling...

my day's about to get a lot worse?

There's a cutting device on your elevator's main cable,

and anything that we do to try and get you out will trigger it.

Anyone who went through that kind of trouble

probably disabled the elevator's safety features, too.
