MacGyver

Any time you want to close that door,

Riley, would be great!

Yeah, I'm trying, Jack!

This is an $800 million

military aircraft designed to be unhackable!

It's not exactly user-friendly!

Yeah? Well, neither am I. Status update, now.

We are still...

mid-acquisition!

Don't worry, boss.

We'll get that digital doohickey before takeoff,

just like you requested!

Jack, I'm tracking your airspeed and altitude.

Need I remind you

what would happen if these people escape with a handheld EMP?

It's kind of hard to remember stuff

with four guys trying to kill you.

Hey, Mac, a little more punching

and less of whatever that is you're doing!

What are you doing?!

You're gonna like this, I promise.

What?!

Riley!

Drop it!

Now!

Riley!

Take the shot!

You don't want to press that button!

This dude's not crazy enough to trigger an EMP on a plane

while he's still on the plane, is he?

That will shut down the engines.

He's exactly that crazy.

Did he just take the last parachute?!

Yeah! And I just sent out a cargo crate

with all the stuff I need to make more!

Hang on, Cage.

Almost done. Just finishing touches.

There.

Your new and improved evening wear.

With custom ballistic Kevlar woven right in.

You'll be the bulletproof belle of the ball.

And have I mentioned how...

dashing I look in a tux?

Nice try.

But Matty wants me to interrogate the ambassador solo.

By the way, this is really good.

Where'd you learn to sew like this?

Tenth grade. Ayesha Goldfarb.

She was Juliet.

I wanted to be her Romeo.

Are we talking real life or high school production?

Both. They cast that doofus Aaron Schwartz instead.

So I volunteered for the crew to be near Ayesha,

and the only department that still needed help was costumes.

And were you star-crossed lovers?

Nah. She wound up dating the guy who played her dad.

They're married now. It's weird.

Yeah, that's sad. - Very sad.

I would feel bad for you if any of that was true.

I do this for a living, Bozer,

against much better liars than you.

It's not lying, all right?

It's acting.

So what gave me away?

Rapid blinking, shifting your weight,

six microexpressions,

you kept looking up and to your right...

Do you want me to keep going?

No.

We good.

What I don't know is why.

So, you gonna tell me?

Or am I gonna have to make you tell me?

Okay.

The team's got a bet to see

who can sneak a lie past you first.

When did Jack come up with this idea?

All right, now you're just freaking me out.

Look, I promise to get out of your head

if you promise to help me play a trick on Jack one of these days.

Jack doesn't like tricks.

Well, then Jack shouldn't have started a war.

Yeah. Thanks.

Glad to see you got my message, Riley.

I couldn't not get it. You sent it six times.

Each with increasingly more urgent emojis.

Well, sometimes a small picture is worth a thousand words.

And why should I have to call you six times?

Call me back.

I know what this is about.

Yeah. Pizza.

What do you want?

There's nothing like crash-landing a plane

that's just been EMP'd to make you appreciate

a good slice of pie. Or two.

This isn't about pizza.

I remember this place.

You used to make me come here as a kid.

I never made you do anything, okay?

Pizza and Skee-Ball.

You love this place.

You love this place. I hated Skee-Ball.

Plus, you'd only make me come here

when you wanted to give me some long-winded advice

that usually ended in weird metaphors,

like punching sharks in the face.

That's not a metaphor, okay?

I didn't say punch a shark in the face.

Don't do that. You're only gonna piss him off.

I said poke him in the eye.

You need to remember that,

in case you ever have to fight one of 'em.

So, I told Matty that the mission failure was my fault.

Why would you do that?

Because what happened on that plane definitely wasn't yours.

I hesitated, Jack,

and the guy got away...

That's textbook definition for "it's my fault."

Yeah, but the reason you hesitated isn't.

Look, I remember the first time I had to kill somebody.

And it's... it stays with you.

It's not something that you just easily... forget.

But you have to come to terms with it.

And I know you haven't come to terms with what you had to do.

But you're gonna have to.

Because if you don't...

Have you ever made a mistake in the field, Jack? ‭

Sure.

That is all this was.

One mistake. - Well, I hope that's true.

Because this mistake ended in the loss of an EMP.

The next mistake you make like this

could end in the loss of everything.

Do you hear me?

Everything.

Now, I don't know...

why you won't just talk to me.

I've told you a thousand times,

come and talk to me, that I'm here for you.

I love you, too, Jack.

Skee-Ball?

Who-who doesn't like Skee-Ball and pizza?

I remember you running around in here from one end to the other.

And all those tickets.

I won you all those tickets.

You weren't that good, Jack.

I was good.

You weren't that good.

You trying to tell me that you hacked the Skee-Ball machines?

At 12?

I wanted to get out of here.

I was tired of seeing you lose.

That is terrible.

Matty wants us back at the Phoenix.

I'm fine, Jack.

I promise.

Okay.

Riley,

have you ever heard of a hacker group called Bedlam74?

No. Why?

Because they've heard of you.

Phoenix intercepted several messages from them from the deep Web.

They're looking for Artemis37.

Your old hacker handle.

What do they want?

They'd like to hire her for a job,

and they're willing to pay big bitcoin.

Hackers are paranoid, tight-knit groups

that only work with people they trust.

Why do they want new blood?

Well, their best coder disappeared about a month ago.

Disappeared, like won the lottery?

I think she means more the murdery kind, Boze.

What's the job that they want Riley for then?

Doesn't matter.

She's not in the black hat business anymore, am I right?

Well, I think she may need to come out of retirement,

just for this one.

We've discovered that Bedlam74

has been gearing up for a major cyber attack.

And if they're willing to spend a small fortune

to hire a legend like you,

- whatever this attack is... - Could be catastrophic.

Exactly.

These guys want a face-to-face.

And I'm thinking that this is our best shot to ID them,

get a sense of exactly what it is they're planning.

So you want Riley to go undercover as Riley?

If Riley goes under as herself,

who do Mac and I go as?

Each other?

You're not going.

Nobody would believe that

you even know how to turn on a computer, Jack.

Okay. ‭- Besides,

they only want to meet with Riley.

If she goes with anyone else,

it'll blow the whole operation.

Mac, Jack, you'll provide backup from a follow vehicle.

Riley, you're gonna go in alone.
