MacGyver

Previously on MacGyver...

My name is Ethan. Let's get you home.

Okay.

Ethan Reigns is my husband.

MacGYVER: S-Company knows there's an undercover CIA agent in the ranks.

They will kill you when they find out it's you.

Nod if you understand.

Daddy! I met Deena,

and then our daughter was born, and then all of a sudden

the role that I was playing

in order to survive long enough to get back to you,

it just became my life.

Mac!

Mac!

That's got to be Mac, right?

Come on, let's go.

Don't stop. Keep going.

Okay. You all right?

You okay?

That was a gunshot.

Come on.

Bozer, you want to hand me one of those waters back there?

Oh, yeah.

Uh, can't. It's empty.

You forgot to pack the drinks? No. Filled it up right before we left.

Did someone rob us at that last rest stop?

Nobody robbed us, Bozer. I unpacked the cooler.

Why? Because packed coolers are

for camping trips, and this is wilderness survival.

We'll be roughing it. And "roughing it" means no water?

"Roughing it" means no water, no food,

no cell phone, certainly, no tent.

Just the three of us in the great outdoors.

Whatever we need, we will make it

or we will find it.

So I guess we won't be enjoying s'mores by the fire later.

Not unless you find yourself a marshmallow tree.

Matty tasked me

with teaching you guys primitive survival skills,

because sooner or later every agent finds themselves

in a situation where they're gonna need them.

Training never stops for those of us in our line of business,

and immersive training is the best training.

It's not the best training if it, you know... kills us.

Uh, Mac,

where are we?

'Cause this looks like the kind of place

where serial killers get their start.

MacGYVER: Yeah, well, it's where

we're gonna drop the Jeep off...

Assuming the owner's okay with it.

What owner?

Looks like no one's been here in years.

Hello? Anyone home?

Oh, God.

He's got a banjo. I've seen this movie.

I know how it ends. I die first.

We need to go now. He can hear you.

You folks ain't from around here.

: That's exactly how the movie starts.

No, we're from L.A.

Me and my friends here,

we were, um, gonna go backpacking in Walker Gorge.

You sure you want to give him all this information, Mac?

Eh, it'll be fine. And we were wondering

if we could just leave the Jeep here.

I'd be more than willing to pay you for your troubles,

if that's okay. Not a good idea

for you three to go off in those woods.

Uh, maybe we should just get back on the road, Mac,

find another spot. Yeah, he's giving me,

uh, "kill us in our sleep" kind of vibes.

MacGYVER: How you doing, Freddy?

How are you?

MacGYVER: Nice to see you. Good to see you.

Well, these are my friends... Bozer, Riley.

This is Freddy. He owns the place.

You'll have to forgive me.

Ever since Mac started bringing people here,

we've been having some fun at their expense.

No hard feelings.

Hey, I'm just glad we're not gonna get murdered and eaten.

Putting two more newbies through the grinder, I take it.

That's the plan. Uh-huh. Well, it's been quiet

ever since last week's rain.

You have the whole place to yourself.

And don't worry about that Jeep.

She'll be fine right there.

All right. Well, I'll give you these.

All right.

Keys, cell phones, wallets.

Goodbye, modern civilization.

I don't care what Mac says.

He's creepy. All right.

Besides what you're wearing and the rain gear,

you each get three things: A backpack, a canteen and a knife.

There a reason these backpacks are so big?

I mean, we're not taking much. Yeah.

The extra space is for the stuff you're gonna pick up

along the way that you'll need, like firewood and food.

Trust me, you'll be glad you brought them along.

All right, Freddy. Couple days?

Don't be so sure.

Not everyone who walks in those woods

walks out.

He's way too good at that.

The sun is your compass.

Right now, it is to our backs,

which means we're headed which direction, Riley?

Uh...

west. Very good.

We are 30 miles

from the nearest ranger station,

70 from the closest thing to civilization,

so keeping your bearings out here is imperative,

unless you want to become a permanent resident.

Would that be so bad?

Haven't been away from a computer screen

this long since prison.

It's really refreshing, honestly.

Tell that to my stomach.

That's not two bears you're hearing fighting.

It's hunger pains.

Well, I think I hear a stream nearby.

Gonna teach us how to fish, Mac?

No, fishing is day three.

Day one is foraging.

Foraging what? Nothing out here to eat.

Ha. There's plenty. You just got to know what's edible

and where to look.

Cattails. They're the fast food of the wilderness.

One for you. Ooh.

Thank you. One for you. All right.

Hmm.

Tastes like...

...used Q-tips.

If this was my secret ingredient on Iron Chef, I'd forfeit.

Well, sorry, guys, but you're gonna have to get used to them,

because we each have to consume 240 per day...

...to match the energy we're exerting.

So that's ten very important calories you just wasted.

I'm sorry, did you say 240?

MacGYVER: Surviving in the woods ain't easy.

That's why nobody comes out... here.

Actually,

looks like someone did. Guess Fred was wrong.

There are people out here.

Hmm. People who brought a lot of equipment

but have no idea what they're doing.

Can you tell me what mistakes they made?

Riley?

According to the wilderness manual,

they didn't ring their fire with stones

to keep it from spreading, one.

They left cigarette butts,

which is not only a fire hazard but...

violates the Leave No Trace rule.

Not to mention,

extremely rude. Yes.

And they camped in a valley,

which is a big no-no because of flash floods.

Very good, Riley. Only missed one thing.

Cotton fibers.

Why is that bad? Well, out here,

cotton kills.

It gets wet, and it stays wet,

making you vulnerable to hypothermia every time it rains.

That's why we're head-to-toe nylon and wool.

Whoever did this,

asking for trouble.

Are you sure about this, Matty?

I mean, it's never too late to change your mind, you know.

I'll be fine. You sure?

Come on.

Okay.

Dalton?

Yeah, we're good. We're good.

Let's go. Come on.

Matty. What are you doing here?

We need to talk.

You could've called.

Honey?

Hey.

Hello.

Matty, is everything okay?

No. That's why we're here.

I don't understand.

We followed protocol. We didn't leave a trail.

My family is just settling into a normal life.

How did this happen?

All I can tell you is S-Company learned your location.

It's no longer safe here.

You trust the intel?
