Previously on MacGyver:

Ethan Reigns...

is my husband.

My name is Ethan Reigns.

I'm making this video because tomorrow I start deep cover.

Matty, I'm so sorry.

S-Company knows there's an undercover CIA agent in their ranks.

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

-Nod if you understand. -Ethan, what happened?

Daddy!

I met Deena while I was undercover.

And then our daughter was born.

It just became my life.

S-Company learned of your location. It's no longer safe here.

This part in Nebraska we're going to is really beautiful.

You'll never see me again.

Bye, Matty.

BIRTHPLACE OF THE FAUX DINER

A slice of your best pie, please.

Got to check out the competition.

I've had it. I would not call it competition.

Thanks so much for meeting with me.

Yeah. Sure.

You said on the phone

that you had something of interest for the Phoenix.

I'm here. I'm listening.

My boy Billy and I have been tracking a skip

that jumped bail all the way across the Atlantic.

Name's Ryan Hayes.

The billionaire's son suspected of funnelling money to terrorists?

The DOJ has been trying to make a case against him for years.

Then you know that he got busted on drug charges.

He posted bail, probably hopped on a private plane to Paris

before his arrest could hit the Fed's radar.

I'm aware.

It's my understanding that you don't work internationally.

We don't.

Which is why I was thinking to myself.

"Self," I said, "taking a terrorist financier

off of the streets

might be of interest to my favourite director

of a secret spy organisation."

Am I right?

Bagging Hayes would definitely be a coup.

And I suspect a high profile bust like this

wouldn't hurt the Coltons either.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

What do you need from me?

Well, I was hoping that you might loan me the talents

of a certain young woman

with a formidable set of computer skills.

Billy and Riley are dating each other.

Sending them on a mission to Paris, they could get distracted.

Distracted or not, the Coltons always get their mark.

Besides, Mama will be there to make sure

that the Phoenix gets their share.

Mama...

you got yourself a deal.

Yes! That's what I'm talking about.

Okay, I did try to warn you.

This is a tragedy.

Agreed.

ETHAN REIGNS

Excuse me.

Ethan?

Where are you?

Sorry, I didn't know

-who else to call. -What's happening?

You're in WITSEC.

-You're not supposed to contact me. -S-Company found me.

They nabbed Mara and Deena.

I'll have every resource on this within an hour.

No, you can't.

They called with a ransom demand.

They said if I involved any agencies, they'd kill them both.

Who called?

August Roth.

What does he want?

Since I left, he's been on a mission

to eradicate every mole in the organisation.

He's giving me 48 hours

to get him a list of every undercover CIA agent

currently with S-Company.

But you don't have that list.

Agents are sent in without knowledge of each other for this very reason.

I know. That's why I contacted you.

Tell me you're not about to ask me what I think you're about to ask me.

The lives of my wife and child are at stake.

You want to give Roth the list

of every undercover agent in his organisation

-and you want my help to do it? -It has to be the real list.

He'll know if it's fake.

Ethan, you give Roth that list,

he'll kill every undercover agent in his organisation.

Their blood will be on your hands.

I can't meet with Roth without the list.

And if I don't meet with him,

there is no way to get Deena and Mara back.

I know what the stakes are.

If I have to turn over the list,

I will do everything I can to warn all the men and women

-who are on it. -There's only one person

with that list, the Director of the CIA.

He carries it on his cell phone in an encrypted file

-so it's never out of his sight. -I know.

That's why I'm going to steal it from him.

-What? -But I can't do it alone.

Ethan!

What you're planning, what we're talking about is treason.

I know. But there is no other way to save my family.

Will you help me?

MAIN TITLE

PHOENIX FOUNDATION

SOMEWHERE IN LOS ANGELES

We had a meeting. Where are you?

Sorry, Jim. Something came up.

As in you're running late?

As in I'm not coming in.

I'm going off the grid for a couple of days.

What's in Virginia?

- Jim, don't track me. -Well, don't keep secrets from me.

What's going on?

I'm going to need you to trust me on this one.

-It's better that you don't know. -That's not good enough.

It's going to have to be.

What about the team?

Jim, we can't have this conversation.

I'll take that as a yes.

If you don't want to be associated with an act of treason,

then I suggest you hang up this phone right now.

-Matty? - That's all I'm going to say.

Good luck.

-Thank you. -Don't thank me

until your wife and daughter are safe.

Did Matty say where we were going?

No. Not yet.

Hey.

Okay. I need to ask.

Are we really sure we want to be involved in this?

Because if we're caught,

we're going to be tried as accomplices to treason.

We'd spend the rest of our lives in prison.

And not one of the nice prisons.

-It'd be a bad one. -I hear what you're saying, okay,

but Matty knows exactly what she's doing.

Agreed.

If Matty needs my help, then I'm going to go help her.

So if Matty goes to jail, you're willing to go with her?

Only if we fail.

Look, if we can find Mara and Deena before the 48 hours are up,

we avoid the whole treason thing altogether.

And if not?

I call top bunk.

Relax. Nobody's going to jail.

There she is.

Look, this mission is volunteer only.

Disavow protocol is in effect.

So it's up to you if you want to go.

But if you're not in...

You should leave.

Now.

My job is to protect you all.

So if you're going on this insane mission, count me in.

Hey, Matty.

Mac, are you sure you want to do this?

If you're asking me to confirm what I already told you, then yes.

-I'm in. -Me, too.

Make that court martial for three!

Putting you on speaker.

What's the news?

I managed to trace the phone where the ransom call came from.

So we know where August is?

No. It's not going to be that easy, I'm afraid.

August has become really careful since he took over S-Company.

He doesn't even touch his own phone.

It's probably one of his guys' phones.

But this guy could know where Deena and Mara are being held.

Exactly.

I've uploaded the phone's location to your tracking software.

Okay, so it looks like our only lead on Deena and Mara

is taking us to Belarus.

Look, I have to thank all of you

for risking your lives to help find my family.

Ethan and I are going to get the list,

but handing it over to S-Company is a last resort,

only if you guys fail.

- So, Mac... -Don't fail. Got it.

PARIS, FRANCE

CITY OF LIGHTS... AND LOVE

Okay, I'm in their feed.

We will be able to see Hayes coming from any entrance.

We now have eyes on every wineglass, cheese plate, and steak au poivre.

I might be getting hungry.

Which tie?

Does it matter?

I mean, aren't we just waiting for Hayes to show up and grab him?

Maybe.

But there's a dress code and they won't let me in without a tie.

Well, in that case, definitely the grey.

Cut it out, you two!
