"Families come together to celebrate their own traditions in their own special way." "And they're all wrong." "Because the only right way to celebrate Christmas is with pastrami." "Pastrami?" "On Christmas?" " Is that even a thing?" " Is it even a..." "Does Rudolph have a red nose?" "I guess I missed the part where Frosty fires up the smoker." "(chuckles) Snark all you want, Miss Grinch, but your heart is gonna grow three sizes once you experience the world's best pastrami." "Now, pay attention." "I'm about to drop some serious meat knowledge, which is... it's all about the rub." "I call it" ""seasonings tidings."" "(chuckles)" "What's up, Ms. Davis?" "Something's messing with your Christmas mojo." "Seriously, though, what's going on?" "I don't know." "Christmas is just tough, you know?" "Everyone's walking around smiling, drinking peppermint lattes, pretending life is great." "You know, when I was a kid, I actually believed in miracles." "And then real life happened." "My dad bugged out." "Things got bad for my mom." "I was arrested and sent to prison, and now it's just..." "Damn, Ebenezer, maybe, uh, pump the brakes on the "bah humbug" mobile." "I'm sorry, it's just... this time of year reminds me that life isn't that great." "Miracles don't happen, and December 25th is just another day." "Mom used to say a white Christmas meant the coming year would be better than the last." "I guess I'm still waiting on one of those." "Well, then consider the wait officially over." "I mean, look, you probably won't be seeing a white Christmas in sunny So." "Cal., but I'm gonna make sure you have yourself a merry little Christmas." "You'll celebrate it right here with me, Mac and Jack, all right?" "And we do Christmas right." "Does that mean I have to get you guys presents?" "I mean, Mac's easy..." "Paper clips and duct tape." "But what do you get Jack?" "Another black T-shirt?" "Don't worry, I'll help you find the perfect gift for everyone, including me... hashtag Xbox One." " Noted." " (chuckles)" "All right, let me get this beautiful brisket going." "First step to a perfect Christmas:" "keep stirring the sauce." "Will you?" "Yes." "Now, that's the spirit." "Appreciate it." "I'll be right back." "Yeah." "Now, usually a brisket has to grill for hours and hours, but Mac worked his magic on our grill, so now it only takes 30 minutes, when it doesn't suddenly burst into flames." "Which it doesn't anymore." "Mostly." "(beeping, whirring)" "(beeping)" "(whirring louder)" "(gasping)" "(chuckles)" "Whew!" "(sizzling)" "All right." "(smoke alarm beeping)" "Riley." "Where'd you go?" "Hey, Riley." "Riley." "(smoke alarm continues beeping)" "Riley?" "♪ ♪" " JACK:" "Do what now?" " ...outside using your super-grill" " when I hear the smoke detector." " No." "No, she would never do something like that." "...my sauce is burning and Riley's gone." "Now, I know I'm new to this whole spy thing, but that's not normal behavior, right?" "JACK:" "Are you sure?" " She didn't say anything?" " Nothing." "But we were talking about the holidays." "Kind of a touchy subject for our girl, so maybe she got upset and went home?" "I don't know." "She has been in a weird place the past couple of weeks." "Quiet, withdrawn, distracted." "Yeah." "I sent agents to Riley's place." " It's been tossed." " What?" "Yeah, her hard drives have been drilled and destroyed." "She left her phone, which isn't a good sign." "They ran trace on it and found an encrypted text from a blocked number." "They opened it, and a virus shut down the phone completely." "Something on that text made her run." "Yeah." "Thornton needs us... now." "We don't have much time." "Oh, frosted glass." "It's about to get real in here, Boze." "Seven hours ago, this was posted online." "JACK:" "This is a copy of an executive order giving the NSA the go-ahead to attack China with a cyber weapon." "China responded by sending their entire submarine fleet into attack position in the Pacific." "Are you kidding me?" "This imagery is live." "Means these subs will be within attack range of our west coast within 24 hours." "China's message is clear." "We hit them with a cyber weapon, they'll hit us back with a conventional one." "MacGYVER:" "And we haven't called off the cyber attack because...?" "We can't." "This attack was unauthorized." "This executive order is a fake." "Have we tried telling China that?" "Yes, but they don't believe us." "But we're not really gonna attack them, so they're just racking up a lot of frequent mariner miles?" "I wish it was that simple." "A few hours before the fake attack order was leaked, someone hacked the NSA and downloaded 200 gigs of data." "We don't even know what exactly was taken." "But you think someone stole a cyber weapon and is now using it to start a war?" "JACK:" "Any idea who was behind the hack?" "Unfortunately, I do." "What?" "No." "Riley?" "No." "You can't possibly think she's behind this." "Come on, Patti." "Riley's one of us now." "Last I checked, none of us spent time in prison for hacking." "But I'm telling you I have known her for a long time." "She would never do something like this." "I don't want to believe this either, but Riley's disappearance on the same day that the NSA gets hacked... that's suspicious." "MacGYVER:" "Well, I'll admit the timing is suspicious, but if that's all you have to go on, then..." "It's not." "There's more." "Riley was sent to supermax for trying to hack the NSA." "And does the NSA consider her a suspect?" "They called an hour ago asking for her whereabouts." "I told them she was off the grid on a deep-cover op." "But there's only so long" "I can keep them at bay." "It won't be long until every agency in the country is hunting her down." "That's why we have to find her first." "And when we do, we're gonna clear her name." " If she didn't do it." " She didn't do it." "But if she did, then the only people I trust to bring her in alive are in this room." "Find Riley, figure out what was stolen from the NSA, and get it back before this turns into World War Three." "You got it." "Jack..." "No, no, no." "Stop." "I can tell by that look in your eye," "I know what you're thinking, but Riley isn't Nikki." "Okay, she would never do something like this." "Yeah, exactly what I said about Nikki, remember?" "(grumbles)" "What if it's all true?" "If Riley's been planning this the whole time?" "Planning on us springing her from federal prison?" "Risking her life, dragging her halfway around the world?" "All the while biding her time to hack into the NSA a second time, starting World War Three." "Come on, man, she's smart, but she ain't Nosferatu." "The German vampire?" "No, the guy who predicts stuff." "I think you mean Nostradamus." " BOZER:" "Guys!" " Whatever." " You know who I'm talking about." " Guys, wait up." "Wait up." "I'm coming with you." "JACK:" "Absolutely not, Bozer." "This is dangerous stuff here, man." "Riley's in trouble." "I want to help." "We don't have time to debate this." "I'm sorry, but you're staying." "You hear me?" "Fine." "I won't come as a field agent." "I'll come as your informant." "I mean, unless you know someone else who knows how to find Riley." "Riley destroyed her laptop and went off the grid." " So if she did hack the..." " (clears throat) ...you-know-who agency, she'd need a new rig, right?" "You saying you know where she might have gotten one?" "Yes." "Where?" "Back when I was doing CG on my movie, she hooked me up with this dude." "Said he was the only guy she trust to build custom high-performance hardware." "Mm-hmm." "And this dude..." "You know where to find him?" "I take that smile as a yes." "And you're not gonna tell us unless we bring you with us." "All right, fine." "Do you know martial arts?" " No." " Ever use a gun?" "No, but I have in my movies." "(rock music blaring inside, Jack groans)" " They can't hear you." " Yeah, I know." "I can't stand this migraine-inducing, lazy-ass robo-rock." "I mean, is it too much to ask for some lyrics?" "Huh?" "It takes three dudes to deliver a pizza?" "Looking for Jaden." "And some aspirin, but Jaden first." "Who are you guys?" "BOZER:" "We're in the market for some new hardware." "Jaden knows me." "It's cool." "JACK:" "We got a Geek Squad problem, and they're busy." "So we came to you, Cheech." "Wait, you-you think we're tech support?" "Yeah." "What up?" "Jaden!" "How you doing, man?" "We have some questions, so unless you like sucking your food through a straw, you're gonna have some answers." "I'd do what he says." "(chuckles) Hey, I remember you." "The Michael Bay wannabe who didn't know the difference between a CPU and a GPU." "Really not something people are embarrassed about, bro." "And what are you two, wannabe cops?" "No, I "wanna be" punching people." "That's my thing." "Well, lay a hand on me, Kewpie Doll, and I'll sue." ""Kewpie Doll"?" " Well, I mean, your hair is kind of..." " What's wrong with my hair?" "MacGYVER:" "Look, we're just trying to find Riley." "Do you know where she is?" "Riley?" "No." "And even if I had seen her, I'd never rat out my girl." "You dated Riley?" "Please!" "You look like you haven't bathed since there was only three Indiana Jones movies." "JADEN:" "What can I say?" "Riley likes bad boys who know their way around a motherboard." " Hey, what the hell are you doing?" "!" " JACK:" "Relax." " Relax." "Relax." " I'm sorry, man," "But if you tell us what you know," "I won't have to use this transformer to send 2,000 volts into the rest of your gear." " Please." " Okay." "Okay." "Riley came to me a few weeks ago." "She wanted a new rig with a custom hard drive." "Where is she?" "I don't know, but I could find out." "She had me build a tracker into the laptop." "Turn it on." "Find out where she is." "Why would Riley put a tracking device in her computer unless she wanted us to find her?" " Or lead us into a trap." " BOZER:" "A trap?" "Whatever, man." "I'm sure Riley will be able to explain everything when we catch up to her in... (computer trilling)" "Canada?" "There." "That's all I know, I swear." "Now please stop zapping my stuff." "BOZER:" "Okay." "Riley tracker pings every five minutes, and the last four pings showed her heading this way." "Means all we can do is wait, keep an eye out, hope that when we do find her, she's got a damn good explanation." "Mm-hmm." "You all right, man?" "You look tense." "I'm not tense." "You're tense." "BOZER:" "Got to side with Mac on this one." "You're the very definition of tense." "If she was in trouble, why wouldn't she come to us for help?" "BOZER:" "Because, Jack," "I mean, trust is hard for Riley." " But once she gets..." " Respectfully," "Bozer, you've known the real Riley about a week." "Okay, I've known her since she was 12." "Riley and I met because I was dating her mom." "As weird as that sounds, it was going pretty good." "Till that drunk of a dad started to come back around." "Now, he come by one night all wasted and pissed off and throw his ex around for old time's sake, so..." "I threw him around for old time's sake." "BOZER:" "Damn, Jack." "For years, I tried to gain that kid's trust." "I bent over backwards to connect with her." "And all I ever wanted was... to be that person she could come to if she had a problem." "You know?" "And no matter how hard I pushed, she wasn't having it." "After a while, it put a real strain on her mother and I." " Is that why you two broke up?" " Yeah." "After a while, I just figured best thing I could do for both of them was get lost." "In a hurry." "I understand if she doesn't like the guy dating her mom for its own sake, but... this is different." "This job, trust is everything." "If I can't trust her and she can't trust me, we can't work together." "Even if we managed to keep her out of prison..." "BOZER:" "Guys." "Guys!" "Riley." "Look." "(screams)" "(tires screeching)" "RILEY:" "It's okay." "I'm here." "It's okay." " Diane?" " Hey." " MacGYVER:" "You know her?" " Yeah." "Of course I do." "This is Riley's mom." "This is your mom?" "Yeah." "(sobbing)" "That's why you hacked the NSA." "They were gonna kill her." "I didn't have a choice." "It's all right." "We're here now." "(whining)" "Mac." " Take a look at this." " RILEY:" "Oh, my God." " Mom!" " Come here, Mac." " Mom!" " Take a look at this." " Mom!" "Mom!" " (crying)" "Stay with me." "It's okay." "(gasping)" " Mac?" " I'm trying." "(mechanical clicking)" "(wire creaking)" "It's not working." "I..." "I need some leverage to cut through the wire." "Bozer, come with me!" "JACK:" "Diane, listen to me." "You keep breathing." " You hear me?" " (Diane groaning)" " Keep breathing!" " Stay with me!" "Hurry, now!" "Mom, it's okay." "It's okay." "(yells) I'm sorry, Mom, I'm trying." " JACK:" "Come on, Mac!" " Okay!" "RILEY:" "Mom, stay with me!" "JACK:" "Mac, we're gonna lose her!" "RILEY:" "Mac, hurry up!" "(Diane coughing)" "JACK:" "Come on, Mac!" "All right, everybody, hold still." "(wire creaking)" "(Diane gasps, pants)" "(coughing)" "(groaning)" "I got you." "(panting)" "(urgent chatter)" "DIANE (over video):" ""You have defied us before." "You will not defy us again." "You will break into NSA's" "Tailored Access Operations Group, and obtain the source code for the following programs."" "You did this all to save your mother." "About three years ago," "I was contacted by this group known as The Collective." "They traffic in stolen data." "I know who they are." "They have quite the reputation for state-sponsored hacking." "The kind of people that would stand to gain if two superpowers were at war." "And I made good money with them for a while." "Jobs are questionable, but I was always able to sleep at night." "Then they told me to hack the NSA." "I said no." "They said they'd kill my mom." "So I did the only thing I could think of." "I hacked the NSA... badly." "Made sure I got myself caught before I completed the hack." "You wanted to go to jail." "'Cause you couldn't hack anything from supermax." "And it worked." "The Collective backed off, let my mom go." "I set her up with a new identity off the grid in Vancouver." "She was safe." "And I thought The Collective was just a bad memory." "Until two weeks ago." "I got an encrypted message with that video." "DIANE: "This time, if you get caught, we'll kill your mother anyway."" "RILEY:" "I did what I had to do." "Look, I know you guys thought I was pulling a Nikki." "I wasn't." "No, you weren't, but unfortunately," ""I did it for mommy"" "is not a defense for treason, Riley." "I need to know what you stole from the NSA." "Cyber weapon called Cannibal." "It allows the user to take control of modern cars and drive them remotely." "Wait, if that's all that was stolen from the NSA, then let's just call China and tell them to call off their subs." "Bozer's right." "The Chinese must be expecting their nuclear plants to start melting down." "Worst case scenario, they're gonna have an increase in fender benders and weekend traffic." "Well, actually, it's worse than that, Jack." "With Cannibal, the user could alter the code to take control of any number of other systems." "THORNTON:" "So really you have no idea what The Collective plans to do with it." "And any deployment could quickly turn into the Chinese subs firing their missiles at the West Coast." "Actually, while I was working with them, I managed to hack one of their servers." "I don't know what they're planning, but something's going down in a building in Shanghai." "16 hours from now." "Okay." "That's where you're headed." "Stop them from getting into the building." "BOZER:" "Copy that." " Not you, Bozer." " We're off to save the..." "You should have never been in the field in the first place." "You're gonna return to the Phoenix with Riley and her mother." "Is that clear?" "RILEY:" "Copy." "We're on the next plane." "(beep)" "I'm going with you guys." "I made this mess, I'm gonna help you fix it." "Hey." "Get Diane back to the Phoenix safely." "Hold up." "What am I supposed to say to the big bad boss lady when she asks why Riley's not with us?" " Improvise." " Improvise." "Riley." "Are you sure you want to go?" "Is this going to be dangerous?" "Of course it is." "Not what any mother wants to hear, but I can't do anything about it, can I?" "So, when you get back, you are going to start from the beginning and tell me everything" "I clearly missed." "I can't." "Top secret." "Remember?" "Love you, baby." "I love you, too, Mom." "(sighs)" "So, when you told me you were a bathroom tile salesman," " you were..." " Yeah, I was..." "I was lying." "You're a liar." "(chuckles softly)" "(sighs)" "Yeah, I'm sorry about that." "Hmm." "Look, it's a long story," "Diane, but I work for a secret U.S. government organization." "And, uh, well, I guess it's not that long of a story, huh?" "How does Riley fit in to this?" "We recruited her, got her out of prison." "Hmm." "I guess I should thank you for that." "And for saving my life." "But it seems that you've dragged Riley into a very dangerous line of work." "Builds character." "Do you remember the first time I let you watch Riley for me?" "Remember what I said?" "Yeah, you said if I ever let anything happen to her, that, uh... you would end me." "You watch out for my little girl, or I'll make good on that promise, Jack." "♪ ♪" "MacGYVER:" "Well, whatever's inside that building, it's got a lot of security." "Riley, you got eyes inside yet?" "No, I don't." "Unless I miss my guess, this place is one giant Faraday cage." "Specialized shielding means no signals get in or out." "JACK:" "So, what do we think's in there?" "MacGYVER:" "Whatever it is, we have less than an hour to figure out a way to stop The Collective from using Cannibal, taking it through those doors and deploying it." "Well, if I can't get eyes inside, how about eyes outside?" "A nice close-up on the front door should help us keep an eye out for The Collective." "Sorry, man." "Thanks." "(whistles)" "(beeping)" "You know, at some point, we need to talk about why you didn't ask for any help earlier." " We're a team, you know."

"Maybe you never really cared about her, but I do." "What do you mean I didn't..." "Riley, what did I ever do to you, huh, to make you just assume" " the worst about me all the time?" " MacGYVER:" "Hey, guys, how about we hold off on the family stuff till after we stop the cyber weapon's deployment?" "Guys, we got a problem." "Yeah, we got a big problem." "Problem is you running around here..." "RILEY:" "Jack, a real problem." "Cannibal's already in the building." "This is from ten minutes ago." "Guy dressed up as a guard marched my laptop right past security." "So we got to get in there right now." "RILEY:" "How?" "This place is a fortress." "Metal detectors, reinforced doors, a ton of guards..." "If we get caught trying to sneak in, they'll throw us in a holding room and call the cops." "Riley, that's a great idea." "I'll be back in five." "MacGYVER:" "There are certain sounds that are recognizable everywhere you go." "One of the most recognizable isn't that hard to make." "All you need is one tube spinning inside of another with some holes to chop up the air, and you got yourself an air raid siren that puts everyone on high alert." "Uh..." "One." "Thanks."

"RILEY:" "Like I said, they'd have to tweak the code, but... with some simple changes," "Cannibal can be used to control any number of..." "Submarines?"

"A lot of things I wish I could un-hear." "But every now and again, some actual wisdom pops out." "(chuckles) Hard to believe." "One thing he says that's actually true:" ""Trust is everything." "We can't work together if we don't trust each other."" "Wait, so he's been telling you he doesn't think he can work with me?" "No, he never said that." "He..." "What I meant was... (sighs) Look." "What I'm trying to say is whatever's going on between you two, we just need to... work through it." "Together." "Look, I-I appreciate what you're trying to do." "I do." "But some things you just can't fix with duct tape and paper clips." "So, we done here?" "Can we go?" "Uh..." "Yeah." "Took you long enough." "That a teleportation device?" "No." "And, by the way, that headline you saw was about quantum teleportation." "Only works on individual atoms." "The elevator only moves if the RFID fob is near the reader." "This is a range extender, it'll boost the signal of any fob nearby." "Okay, so we don't need to get someone with the key fob onto the elevator, just near it." "Exactly." "How close do we need to be?" "Uh, 20 feet." "Okay." "You two get on the elevator and be ready." "I got this." "Excuse me." "Do you speak English?" "Very..." "little." "(sighs)" "That's perfect." "Don't worry." "I'm only doing it to prevent a war." "So if you could just take a few steps closer to the elevator so that my friends... who, if you saw them, would make you totally freak out and sound the alarms..." "Could steal the signal off that fob clipped to your pocket and..." "(beep)" "You just helped save the world." "(chuckles) Okay, thanks." "Bye!" "I give him 15 minutes, tops, before he sends someone to look for me." "Nice work." "Just not nice enough for you to want to keep working with me, huh?" "No, Jack, I get it." "Makes perfect sense."

"Can you hack it, bring it down in the ocean?" "I'm trying, but I can't even talk to it." "Missiles like this are designed to be unstoppable." "After launch, the only signals it'll even listen to are pings from GPS satellites." "Oh, God." "All those people, and all because of me." "It's not because of you, Riley." "All right?" "We're gonna fix this together." "Besides, Mac already has a plan." "Don't you, Mac?" "Actually, yeah, I think I do." "Really?" "You just figured out how to stop a missile halfway around the world from hitting California?" "Yeah." "How?" "We just got to move the Earth." " This." "This metal mesh." " What are you doing?"
