Yup, that's Mr. Krengel's house.

He's the grumpy old guy who always grills me

But why were you spying on him?

BOZER: I wasn't spying. I was using the telescope,

and happened to see Krengel violently

attack someone with a fireplace poker.

And doesn't he live with his wife?

(laughs): So?

So, marriage wasn't built for quarantine.

Four weeks, locked up under one roof...

That could drive anyone to the edge.

Bozer, first you said the virus was a man-made

bioweapon, and now you think

our neighbor murdered his wife?

If nothing's going on,

why are all their curtains suddenly closed?

'Cause there's a creep spying on them

- with a high-powered telescope. - Who?

Well, the Krengels don't have any smart devices

connected to their router,

so I don't have eyes or ears anywhere in the house.

Except for a couple pockets of web traffic here and there.

Hang on a second.

What are you talking about?

What? Well, 30 minutes ago,

he ordered ten pounds of lawn lime, a hacksaw and a shovel.

Overnight delivery.

He's gonna chop her up into little pieces

and dispose of the body.

Or he's using quarantine to catch up

on yardwork like everybody else is.

Come on, Mac, you have to admit that's shady.

I swear this isn't like the other stuff.

I know what I saw.

Hey, Boze, please tell me you're not still spying on them.

Mr. Krengel didn't look like a guy just taking

his frustrations out on a TV.

And Mrs. Krengel was screaming.

She sounded fine this morning.

It doesn't make sense.

a rough couple of weeks for everybody,

but are you all right?

My mom's sick.

Fever, trouble breathing.

All the symptoms.

She got tested the other day, but the labs are backlogged.

So, yeah, if I'm cleaning too much

or if I'm being nosy with the neighbors,

it's because I can't do a damn thing about it

and if I just sit around here waiting, I'll go crazy.

- Why didn't you say anything? - Why would I?!

Oh, you mean because that's the kind

of thing friends talk about?

But, I mean, when's the last time

you and I hung out one-on-one?

Huh? Ever since Codex and Desi,

you've been completely MIA.

I mean, you didn't even realize I was struggling

until I accused the neighbor of murder.

Well... (sighs)

Bozer, what are you trying to say?

I'm saying you haven't acted like my friend

in a very long time.

Hey, let me help you out

But you were all like, "Bozer,

I came back from Vietnam in one piece.

That was, uh... 1972.

1973, Lenny.

And maybe get a tac team suited up.

RILEY: All right.

Well, the call came in from a burner phone,

so no I.D.

GPS puts them at a Anaheim shopping center 40 minutes away.

Wai-Wait a second. Your-your son has a cleaning company...

Do they do malls?

Ever since COVID, they've done just about everything.

You were the leverage.

His partners are using your son's cleaning crew

as a disguise, so that they can ransack

an empty mall.

(sighs) And then they're gonna kill him.

MATTY: CCTV of James Krengel being forced into the trunk of a sedan

confirms that he was abducted the same day

that Shane Steckler took your neighbors hostage.

TAYLOR: For the last two days, while the Krengels were being held,

his coconspirator used his son's cleaning crew

as cover to rob a spree of high-value storefronts.

Businesses want to disinfect during shutdown,

so these guys have access to all the merchandise.

And with the stay-at-home order in effect,

nobody would have noticed the Krengels missing for weeks.

The robbers still don't know

that Steckler's out of the game, but...

the second they make another check-in call...

That window closes.

MATTY: Which means you only have

30 minutes to rendezvous with Desi at the mall

and extract James Krengel and his crew.

You wanted a mission.

I did want a mission.

RILEY: Well... Yes, you did.

Matilda...

if you send the, uh, the helicopter now, then I can be

- with the team in an hour. - And do what, Russ?

In an hour, this will all be over, one way or another.

Well, then I can go to, um, Phoenix and prep the debrief.

You messed things up with your "friend," didn't you?

(laughs): What? What are you...?

Russel Taylor,

listen to me carefully.

Any woman that could stand being shacked up with you

for 30 days, in my book, is a saint.

So whatever dumb thing you did,

I suggest you go fix it right now,

or you're gonna die alone in that big house of yours.

- Mm-kay? - Bye.

Pretty sure I just broke the land-speed record

- on an L.A. freeway. - (chuckles)

Yeah. Only part of quarantine

I could actually get used to.

- Uh... - Like...

- You know what? - There.

RILEY: Guys, check it out... Security cameras show

12 cleaners spread throughout the mall.

But in those suits and masks, how do we tell the robbers

- from the legitimate cleaners? - Neutralize first,

ask questions later.

And remember, let's keep it quiet.

We don't want to alert the robbers

before we're ready... They could hurt James.

Well, this WAM hammer thinks you do.

The jewelry store.

Was that so hard?

Good friend of mine told me I was acting like a bit of an ass.

She was right.

Don't want you to go.

The research you found in my room...

was very, um, personal to me, very private.

When the Spanish conquistadors invaded Peru in the 1500s,

they... plundered the Incan treasure

and melted it into various daggers, axes, spears...

Then, during World War II,

the treasure was stolen by the Nazis.

I know the story.

What does that have to do with you being such a wanker?

Never knew my father.

My mother spent most of her time

trying to make ends meet, and I was practically raised

by my Peruvian grandfather,

who spent... (sighs)

well, most of his time filling my head with fantastical tales

about Atahuallpa and the lost Incan treasure.

We fantasized about finding it one day

and all the things that we would buy.

All the ways it would change our lives and...

pull us out of poverty.

- BOZER: Mac, can you hot-wire this thing? - Uh,

honestly, the truth is, it'd be easier to find the keys.

Anything built after 2000

- is pretty much im... - He's right.

- (engine starts) - Cars are just computers on wheels.

Let's go.

BOZER: Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

(tires squeal)

No, no, no. You were supposed to turn back there. Left.

- What is the rule, Mac? - Wouldn't have to backseat drive

if you would just pay attention.

Come on, this way.

(tires squeal)

Really? Bikes were an option?

MacGYVER: Hey, whoa-whoa, an exit right there. You see that?

Okay, all right, you got it, all right, all right.

(tires screeching)

Hands! In the air!

Hands up!

Stay where you are!

You're all under arrest.

I can't fathom what part of "stay-at-home"

in the stay-at-home order

you three had so much trouble understanding.

But the bottom line is that the Krengels are safe

and these criminal lowlifes are in cuffs,

so, well done.

Pays to be a nosy neighbor.

Don't push it, Boze. I'm putting you straight back

on quarantine for at least two weeks. No exceptions.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

- Tac team leader... - RILEY: Whoa, whoa.

- I got a bone to pick. - Where you going?

Geez.

I'll allow it.

Well,

I guess

this is goodbye again for a while.

Yeah, I guess.

This virus sucks.

Yeah. But, hey, um...

you were right.

- I was kind of avoiding talking to you. - No, this is my fault.

I was being impatient.

If being kidnapped

with an old married couple

has taught me anything, it's that

good things are worth waiting for.

So take as much time

as you need to figure out what you want.

I'll be here.

I almost wish I could, uh, kiss you right now.

(both chuckle)

Did you talk to him?

No, but I'm glad I didn't.

I mean, look at 'em.

I'm not getting in the way of that.

Oh, yes!

Toilet paper time!

At last. So long, suckers.

Later, fellas.

(chuckles)

Hey, Boze, listen.

You were right, and I'm sorry.

I've been a bad friend. I was so focused

on all the things that I had lost,

like my dad and Gwen and...

and Desi, that I...

(chuckles softly) I neglected the family

that was right in front of me.

I appreciate that.

Hey, look, man,

whatever happens with your mom's test results,

you're not gonna go through it alone.

Thanks, Mac.

Yeah. You got it.

Now please finish cleaning the kitchen.

- I knew you were gonna say that. I'm on it. - (laughs)

Oh, one last thing.

Okay, so, in the kitchen here a couple nights ago with Riley,

there was a, uh...

I don't know, a moment.

What kind of moment?

(chuckles softly)

It was nothing.

(laughs)

Quarantine cabin fever's getting to me.

MacGYVER: When the world feels like it's so turned upside down

that it's impossible to fix,

it helps to look at things from a different angle.

Because no matter how broken something appears,

whether it's your grumpy neighbor,

your terrified best friend,

your estranged girlfriend, or a shard of glass,

that broken thing could inspire something new,

like a soda bottle ventilator.

Maybe even something better than before.

It's all a matter of perspective.

MacGYVER: Some site about Fauci on the cover of Time magazine.

What was the name of the website?

- Cheese.org. - (laughter)

Well, good. You know, just, just checking.

- Cheers to that. - Yeah, cheers to that.

RILEY: ♪ Fauci ♪

ALL: ♪ Fauci, in Tony we trust. ♪

Oh, hey, look.

Thank you!

Hey, look, it's the Krengels!

Hey, Lenny!
