Director Webber.

There you are.

Still not a fan of these things?

Getting all dolled up to
kiss the ring seems like

a giant waste of time to me.

Well, let me suggest that you never run

for U.S. Senate.

Sort of feels like

that's 90% of what I do.

I'd rather be working.

- No offense.
- None taken.

Truth is...

I only RSVP'd to this
shindig to see you.

I didn't think you would agree

to meet with me any other way.

You're right. I wouldn't have.

Wait, Matty.

I need your help.

Yesterday I received

a very disturbing e-mail.

Whoever sent it is demanding $10,000,

or they're gonna release photos of me...

with a woman.

Senator, our history
allows you the privilege

of knowing about the
organization that I work for.

But if you've been hacked,
you need to take that up

with the FBI Cyber Unit,
just like everybody else.

I wasn't hacked.

Someone somehow got their hands
on one of my old computers.

Huh. Well, then it seems
like you have two choices.

One, pay the ransom,

and hope your wife doesn't find out.

Or two, don't pay, and come clean

before this blackmailer outs you.

I strongly suggest option "B."

Good night, Senator.

I wish it was that simple, Matty.

That same computer has another file

that this blackmailer
doesn't realize they have yet.

It's a file

from my time on the committee
overseeing covert ops.

It's Dragonfly.

Dragonfly?

Are you sure?

Meet Senator

Todd Steckler from Ohio.

Two years ago, one of his aides wiped

his office computer and brought
it to a recycling center.

But instead of it

being recycled, it was illegally
shipped overseas to Ghana.

Why would somebody's old computer

be sent all the way to Ghana?

Because it's more expensive to
recycle electronic waste here

than to export it to
a developing country

where it gets dumped in
a landfill and forgotten.

- Really?
- Sadly, Mac's correct.

Some of the most reputable
recycling services

do this under the radar.

I don't know how many computers
I've thrown out in my life.

You're telling me there's a
chance they're rotting in one

- of those landfills?
- Unfortunately, a very good chance.

Almost 50 million tons
every year of junked TVs,

computers and cell phones
make the exact same trip.

All right, so what happened
to the senator's computer

once it got to Ghana?

All we know is that once the
computer was shipped overseas,

it fell into the hands
of an extortionist,

who, 36 hours ago,

sent this e-mail.

Um...

Matty, that's an e-mail
threatening to expose

- Steckler for cheating on his wife.
- That's correct.

I'll take this one, Ri. I think

what she's trying to say
is, what is Senator Scumbag's

personal trash doing
in the Phoenix's lap?

Because those photos aren't
the only sensitive material

on that computer.

There is also

a file called Dragonfly.

It is this file that I need retrieved

before the extortionist
stumbles onto it.

And there it is.

Okay, that makes more sense.

What is this Dragonfly, exactly?

That information is need to know.

Now, the four of you need to
hurry, or you will miss your flight.

There's a car waiting
to take you to LAX.

Matty, you just said LAX.

- We don't usually fly out of there.
- Today you do.

You're flying commercial.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, now.
- Mm-mm.

Come on, let's...

I'm sorry, but what part of "hurry"

or "you'll miss your flight"
did you not understand?

- Go.
- Matty, I don't...

- I don't fly commercial.
- Jack.

Please.

Okay, yes, ma'am, yeah,
yeah, we'll handle it.

I gotcha. We'll handle it.

Uh, that was weird.

Yeah, very.

Any idea what this is about?

No, but I've never seen her

- like this before.
- Really?

- What do you mean, Jack?
- She's scared.

- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
-- www.Addic7ed.com --

You know, maybe Dragonfly is a...

a secret FBI document revealing
that Tupac's alive and well

- and living in the Caymans.
- Or...

it's a series of photos
shows who really shot JFK.

Ooh, that's good. Or maybe
proof that Stonehenge was built

by ancient aliens. What
do you think of that?

Ah. Maybe it's evidence

that a asteroid is two years
from colliding with Earth,

and the government is staying mum

to avoid a massive public panic.

- I love how fired up you get.
- Passion!

As must as I'm enjoying
these theories...

Which is all they are...

I think if Matty wanted us
to know what Dragonfly was,

- she would have told us herself.
- Yeah, well, whatever it is,

it's got to be really important.

She'd never agree to
help some scumbag senator

cover up his infidelity.

Oh, it's important, all right.

But come on, now,

Mac... you got to be

a little bit curious about
what it is, aren't you?

- Don't you even want to guess?
- My level of curiosity

is irrelevant... we should
stay focused on the op.

I'm always focused on the op, there,

- fun dodger.
- Jack, pull over right here.

That's the bank the senator's
extortion payment was routed to.

We got 30 minutes till it opens.

Okay.

We got some time, now,

before this extortionist shows up, so...

- who's on snacks?
- Aw, great.

Stakeout pillow.

Jack, please tell me you left

the Willie Nelson CDs at home.

Oh. Yeah.

Evidence that Tom Hanks
isn't a nice person.

No, wait. Evidence that Tom Hanks isn't

a real person at all, dude.

Like, there is no Tom Hanks.

Look, whatever Dragonfly is,

it's got to be personal
to Matty, because why else

would she send us to
recover something that

she can't talk about and doesn't
want on the Phoenix books?

Someone just put through the ten grand.

Right there. Blue hoodie. Backpack.

Y'all follow him on
foot. I'll stay here with

- the van in case we need a quick getaway.
- Yeah.

Go, go, go.

That's him.

Nice and easy.

Why are they stopping?

The mirror.

He made us.

Oh, I got him!

Got you now!

Damn!

Who we chasing? Houdini?

Boze, give me a lift.

Hey, he's just a kid.

- How old are you?
- 16.

Stop kicking me, you little psychopath!

- That hurt!
- Then let me go!

- Not gonna happen.
- I didn't do anything to you.

That's true, but we were
monitoring the $10,000

you just withdrew. You've been caught

- blackmailing a U.S. senator.
- Yeah, crime like that

carries a sentence of at
least a decade in prison.

But we'll let you off with a warning

if you tell us where his computer is.

Hey! Don't touch that!

This model's, like,
seven years old, but...

I'm seeing hardware

from other machines added to it

to boost performance.

- Did you build this?
- No.

Custom-built rigs modded like that

are sold on every corner in Accra.

Computers are kind of my thing, too.

Got to admit, this is pretty legit.

You seem smart,

so I don't blame you for not talking.

My friends and I, we don't
care about the blackmail.

You give us the computer we
want, we'll let you walk away.

How do I know I can trust you?

Huh? Trust us?

You really are crazy.

We're not the ones extorting people.

I know you don't care about trusting us.

You're playing scared so
we sweeten the deal, right?

- That's what I thought.
- Let's bottom-line it, then.

You give us the location

of the senator's computer, and
we will let you keep the cash.

I know where the hard
drive is being kept,

but I don't know how to get to it.

Joseph keeps them locked up,
and he's got the only key.

MacGYVER: We're not
worried about a locked door,

- but who's Joseph?
- The man we work for.

We?

Ten grand for a tour of your office.

Put it right there.

When you said you were
taking us to an E-waste

junkyard, I don't know
what I was imagining,

but it wasn't this.

So, what are all these kids doing?

They're, uh, breaking down
electronic scrap into something

that they can resell, like gold,

plastic, copper.

Literally turning peoples'
trash into treasure.

Uh, we call them "scavengers,"
'cause their job is

to search the landfill for anything

that can be sold in town.

Uh, circuit boards, cameras,

batteries, monitors, keyboards.

What do computer fans go for?

Uh, 19 cents a pound.

Uh, LCD screens are the real prize.

Those go for 60 cents each.

80 if they're not cracked.

Those always go quick at
the beginning of the day.

Most kids sleep here so that they can

get in first, and get
to the best stuffs.

Danso, what did I tell you

about cracking those
printer cartridges open?

They're full of poison.

Mind if I show you another way?

Cellular PCB boards are made

from epoxy resin, which makes them

incredibly strong, so
you can use one of these

as a lever...

...to pry this casing open...

...without throwing toxic ink

in the air.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.
- Hey, maybe I'm missing

something here, but
how is it even possible

to blackmail the senator

if everything that gets

sent here is-is broken down

for scrap metal?

Well, because not everything
is broken down. Follow me.

There's more.

Hard drives are pulled from
computers and brought here

where they can be scanned
for pictures, e-mails, videos,

anything that can be used to
blackmail their previous owners.

You guys built a sophisticated
data-mining operation

entirely out of other peoples' junk.

So you're scraping through text messages

and e-mails, using key words

looking for proof of behavior
that can be blackmailed,

but how did you find explicit photos?

I wrote the script that looks

for color values, matching skin tones.

I'm not saying any of
this is okay, but, damn.

This is where

Joseph locks the hard drives
that have data on them.

But like I said, he has the only key.

Ah, don't worry about that.

When it comes to locked
doors, my boy Mac, here...

He's undefeated.

So, after we have the hard drive,

we're all in agreement,

we're definitely taking
a peek at Dragonfly.

- Right?
- Nah.

Matty would know we looked.

Not if we get

- Riley to help.
- Oh, yeah.

Ri. What makes you
assume I'd want to help?

I mean, that's what you do.

I mean, I'm just saying.

It's Matty.

Why is she calling
me? She never calls me.

You think she knows I was
just talking about her?

Yeah, probably.

Hey, Matty. How are you?

In need of a status update, Bozer.

Do you have the senator's drive?

Uh... your timing is
terrifying, as ever.

Uh, yes, we are seconds away from having

- the hard drive in hand.
- Good.

The moment you confirm
Dragonfly is on that drive,

I want you on your way to the airport.

Copy that.

What's going on?

Joseph is here.

- Bozer?
- Call you back, Matty.

He wasn't supposed to come today.

- You have to hide.
- Hide?

I hate to break it to you, kiddo,

but Jack Dalton doesn't
hide from anybody,

especially not dudes named Joseph.

Please. You have to.

If he finds out I brought you here...

Just tell us where.

Jack...

Okay, but for the record,
this is under protest.

- Get out of the way!
- Good God.

MacGYVER: Shh.

What, these kids sleep in here?

Welcome, sir.

I trust all is here.

Oh, come on, Mac. We
got to do something.

Anything we do impulsively here

could make their lives a lot worse.

Worse than this?

Abina said the senator's drive

was somewhere in that stack.

Mac, we can't just let 'em take it.

We're not gonna make a move here

and endanger these kids' lives.

Get back to work!

We got to get to the van.

If we lose Joseph, we
lose the hard drive.

Yeah, hold on now.

That road we took in here was wide open.

They'll spot us immediately
if we try to follow 'em,

especially in that soccer mom van.

So what do we do? Just let the
reason we came here speed away?

Abina, do you know where
he's taking that hard drive?

Yes. His house.

Can you take us there?

I can, but it will cost you.

Abina, for future reference,

that is not a house.

That is a fortress.

Yeah, a fortress paid for by poor people

and the sweat of little kids.

Agreed.

So how are we gonna get past all of that

and get inside?

Mac?

I don't know.

Yet.

Okay, so let me get this straight.

You were just one picked lock away

from retrieving that
drive, but backed off?

And now, it's being kept inside

a compound guarded by

four lookout towers and a small army?

MacGYVER: Yeah.

That pretty much sums
it up, but I assure you

that the circumstances made
it impossible to make a move

- on the hard drive earlier.
- Give me that thing.

Matty, relax.

We're gonna get your
little file back, okay?

Don't worry. It's just gonna be

a little bit tougher than we originally

- anticipated.
- Oh.

That's really great to hear, Jack.

Now tell me... how?

Okay.

Here. Why don't you take that one?

Thanks.

Still ironing out the details,

but... look, I know I can
make it over the fence.

It's the lookout towers
that are another story.

They have sight lines
in every direction.

I can move the guards for you.

Uh, sorry, kid, okay? No more moola.

You already cleaned us out.

It's okay. I don't want money.

If I do this,

I want to come home with you.

Give me that thing.

Did you, uh...?

Did you hear that, Matty?

Yes, Jack, I did,

and while I feel terrible
for this young girl,

I can't just pull a random civilian out

- of her home country!
- Yeah. I'm not saying...

A country I can't even acknowledge

- that my agents are currently in.
- Hey, I understand...

Hey, Matty, listen, Abina's the key

to accomplishing our
objective. Without her help,

we might as well just leave
right now, empty-handed.

So exactly

how bad do you want
whatever's on that drive?

Tell the young lady she has my word

I will do everything I can
to get her somewhere safe.

But that will have

to be good enough for now.

Thank you, Matty.

Wheels are in motion to
bring you home with us.

So what's your plan for
getting past the lookouts?

- Yes.
- Joseph.

It's Abina. You have to come quick.

The Sakawa Boys are
raiding the landfill again.

You have to hurry.
They're taking everything.

Quick! Back to the yard!

Now!

There.

That should do it.

Move it! Quick! The Sakawa
Boys are at the landfill.

Move!

This place is freaking huge, man.

What do you say we
divide and conquer? Yeah?

Before old Joe-Joe
realizes he's being duped.

Bozer and I will take the
main house, you take the back.

Signal if you find the drive.

Hey, Boze, how serious were you

about checking Dragonfly
behind Matty's back?

I mean, she knows everything
about our lives, Mac,

but what do we know about her?

Not much. It's how she wants it.

Sure, but whatever's on that drive,

Matty just agreed to
airlift Abina out of Ghana

to ensure she got it back.

How could we not look?

I found embarrassing photos on
hundreds of computers before,

but no one has ever
showed up to get them back.

So what else is on that drive?

Honestly...

all we know is it's really
important to our boss.

So you're risking your
lives for your boss

and you don't even know why?

She must be a good woman.

She is.

Don't worry.

If my boss says she'll do anything

to get you out of Ghana,

she means it.

When I was young and
working as a scavenger,

I always used to wonder where
the electronics came from.

And then Joseph made me
start searching hard drives,

and... I saw the photos.

And the more I saw,

the more I dreamed of
living one of those lives.

Well,

what'd you see yourself doing?

Majoring in computer science.

At a university in Boston

or California.

I'd live in a dorm with my friends,

take classes,

go to parties.

Your boss will let me do that?

Yeah.

Sure.

You can do anything you want,

as long as you use your
skills to help people,

not harm them.

It's gonna feel a lot better, Abina.

Trust me.

You two,

stay here! You two, the east side!

The rest of you with me!

You find the Sakawas...

engage!

Mac, you're up.

Hey! What are you two doing?

Really?

Don't you...

Intruder! Intruder

in the house!

Intruder! Intruder!

- Intruder!
- Back to the house!

Now!

You got a faster way through that door?

Now that we can make noise, I do.

All right, Jack, we got incoming.

Five minutes, tops.
Any luck on your end?

No hard drives in the back house,

just Joseph's gross little man cave.

On the bright side,
I did trash the place.

Okay. All right.

- Which one's the senator's?
- No clue.

Just start trying 'em.

Mac, they're surrounding the place

and trapping you inside.
You got to get out of there.

We're doing our best here, Riley.

Would that help?

Spread out. Search the perimeter.

Look in the back house.

Go downstairs. You, come with me.

We're out of time.

Hey, hey, Mac. This is it, right?

- Dragonfly, that's it. Grab it. Let's go.
- Okay.

Yo, Mac. What's up?

We got the drive.

- Yeah!
- Yeah, good,

let's get out of here.

There they are!

We got company, boys.

This way!

I'm not gonna be able
to hold these guys off

for too much longer.

Look!

Let's go, let's go!

Let's go.

Come on, let's go!

Yeah.

Yeah, you're doing great, Riley.

Just don't let your foot off the gas.

Wasn't planning on it, Jack.

Okay, Matty, we have the hard drive.

That's a big "yee-haw" on that one.

Mission accomplished. But,
uh, we still got a problem.

We need to get out of Ghana, like, now.

And we're taking Abina with us.

So, we're just hoping you
have her all-all squared away

- on that front, yeah?
- I'm working on it, Jack.

I'll be in touch soon,
hopefully with good news.

Hopefully's not gonna
cut it, Matty. We got to

get Abina out of here or
bad things are gonna happen.

Riley, I recognize that you've
taken a liking to this young girl,

but this op is off the books,

remember?

If we're gonna get Abina
out of Ghana, it has to be

- done legally.
- Yeah, we didn't forget.

We're just hoping whatever
strings you're pulling,

you-you pull 'em rather quickly.

We're in a bit of a pickle here.

Hey, am I seeing things,

or did those dudes just totally,

randomly stop chasing us?

They totally, randomly did.

Which is either really good...

- ...or really...
- Yeah, it's bad.

Bozer, why is the military chasing us?

Joseph has powerful
friends in the government.

That's how he keeps
the landfill operating.

Did I mention how much I hate this guy?

Hey, Mac, you know how annoying it is

when Jack runs out of bullets?

Well, that's about to happen
to us with random junk.

We got company, Riley.
Okay, what you're gonna want

to do here is a pursuit
intervention technique. First...

Yeah, that'll work.

That'll work.

Wait, no, no, no, no, not the microwave.

What? Why not?

Riley, when I give you the signal,

- stomp on the brakes.
- Brakes?

Look, nobody's in the
mood to die today, dude.

What is that thing?

A magnetron.

Just tell me it's gonna
save our lives, please.

I don't really have time

for a lecture on

electromagnetic fields. I just need

to get closer to the
alternators in the Jeeps' engines

so I can fry them out with this thing.

Jack, plug this in.

Okay, you're good.

Mac, time to do whatever you're doing.

- Bozer, hit the "popcorn" button.
- Riley, hit the brakes!

Inside every microwave oven

is something called a magnetron,

which emits radio waves
at such a high frequency

they excite the molecules
inside whatever you're cooking.

But if you remove the
magnetron from its housing

and focus its energy into a narrow beam,

you can do a whole lot more

than warm up last night's leftovers.

Yeah, good driving, girl.

Popcorn button? Really?

Great job, Mac.

I've wondered about this place.

Never thought I'd score an invite.

Well, lucky for you I don't trust you

to have this conversation anywhere else.

- You have an update?
- My team

retrieved your drive.

This is very good news.

Before you start celebrating,
I need a favor from you.

I need your help getting
someone out of Ghana.

- Who?
- A young girl who helped my people

accomplish their objective.

If your people accomplished
their objective,

then this young girl has
nothing more to offer.

This girl is the only reason
why we have your photos.

The only reason why
your marriage and career

aren't gonna go down in flames.

I'm sorry, I can't.

I'd have to spend

too much political capital

to make that happen under the radar.

Besides, I already did you one favor.

Warning you Dragonfly was at risk

is the only reason it
won't be getting out.

The only reason

his life...

...won't be in immediate danger.

You're gonna do me one
more favor today, Todd.

Because if you don't,

the photos of you and that blonde

are gonna make their way into the inbox

of every last staffer and talking head

in the district.

You wouldn't.

No secret stays buried forever.

Okay, it's a dot AVI extension.

Means it's a video file.

Without even opening it, I can
see that it's over two gigs,

created in 2010, and protected with

AES 256-bit encryption.

Which means what,

for those of us that were

in the fifth grade twice?

Someone really doesn't
want anybody watching it.

You could break through that
kind of encryption, though,

right, Riley?

Of course I can.

But that doesn't mean we should.

Look, of course I want to
know what's on Dragonfly,

but if Matty wants
to keep it to herself,

shouldn't we let her?

Agreed.

Good news, Abina.

You've been booked on a flight
to Los Angeles. Congratulations.

Matty came through.

Like she always does.

Now, we can discuss this on the plane,

but right now we should
get to the airport

before soldiers start
shutting everything down. Yeah?

Yeah, good plan.

Hey, how's about I
drive this time, Furiosa?

- If you insist.
- Yeah.

Abina.

A-Abina, where are you?

- Danso?
- I need your help.

- Danso, what's wrong?
- Please.

I gave you a place to live.

A way to earn money.

And how did you thank me?

Huh? By helping people steal from me.

Now here's what's going to happen next.

You bring me that hard drive,

and whatever's on it that I overlooked,

or I start hurting your friends.

And we both know that I can
always find more scavengers, eh?

You have 30 minutes...

or I start with Danso.

All right, I'm counting four,

maybe five of his men by the hostages.

Bozer, any chance you
could focus on that thing?

Doing the best I can, Riley.

Not exactly working with
Panavision precision here.

Okay.

Junkyard Joe's got

three two-man teams patrolling
the yard looking for us.

Yeah, make that four
two-man teams, Boze.

They're everywhere.

I wish we could just shoot them.

All right, I think I can

carve a path through
the patrolling guards,

get us close enough to Joseph, but...

even if I do, we still got a problem:

the stationary guards.

Unless I can knock all
them out at the same time,

we still got a problem.

We can't. The moment we move
on them, someone could get hurt,

or worse.

We need to separate the
kids from the guards.

Yeah, agree,

- but how?
- Signal the kids

without Joseph's men knowing.

How are we gonna signal the kids

- without getting Joseph's...
- What's the main difference

between the hostages and
the men guarding them?

Okay, Mac, you're doing that
annoying thing your dad does

where you ask a question instead of...

Age. The hostages are much younger

than the men guarding
them. We can use this.

People's ability to hear
high frequencies degrades

as they age, so a five-year-old
can hear higher frequencies

than a 20-year-old,

who can hear higher
frequencies than a 40-year-old.

You just have to
calibrate the frequency.

- You guys hear that?
- Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

- How about now?
- I can still hear it.

Right, because you're younger;
we're older, we can't hear it.

Which should work on a guard.

- Wow.
- Abina, I need you

to record a message to your friends,

telling them to run

when they hear the whistle.

Fast.

It's working. The kids can hear

Abina's recording, but the
guards are totally oblivious.

Joseph.

I brought you what you want.

Now let them go.

Where are your new friends?

They left.

Without the drive that
was so important to them

that they came all the
way to Ghana to retrieve?

I swapped it out for a
decoy before I ditched them.

Maybe the 12 of you will
survive after all, huh?

Give me the drive.

I'll give it you.

Only after you let them go.

You are in no position to
make any demands, Abina.

Actually, I am.

Okay, Mac. Perimeter's clean.

Get your battery bombs ready.

You're clear to the hostages.

Whatever's on this drive
must be very valuable...

Enough!

Mac, it's time.

Riley, give them the signal.

Give me the drive, now.

Don't move.

I told you.

We did it.

We sure did.

I'm happy to report

that not only is Joseph
Musah's entire operation

being ripped out by the roots,

but the corrupt Ghanaian
soldiers that were helping him

have already started
turning on each other.

Ah, that's great news.

You can also tell Abina

that she's booked on the
next flight back to L.A.

And I was able to secure
her temporary housing

while we sort out her situation.

Matty, I don't know how you did that,

- but thank you.
- Yeah, thanks, Matty.

You can thank me by getting
that drive back to the Phoenix.

- Pronto.
- Yes, ma'am.

Hey, Mac.

I thought about what you
said earlier and realized

you were right.

Matty always has our backs.

We should have hers.

If she wants to keep Dragonfly a secret,

then that's her right.

Yeah, I agree.

Works for me. Let's go home.

Abina. We got to get going if
you want to make the flight.

I'm not coming.

- Why?
- I'm sorry.

I can't abandon them. They need
somebody honest to lead them,

or another Joseph will
come in and take over.

They need me.

A-Are you sure? Where
are you gonna live?

We'll figure something
out. We always do.

Yeah, that's just not gonna work for me.

I know you don't know
why you went to Ghana.

But I'm so grateful that you did.

Thank you for this.

Cards on the table, Matty,
I seriously considered

looking at Dragonfly.

I was really curious... still am,

to be honest... But none of us looked.

You deserve that.

I appreciate your honesty, Bozer.

Now,

who's ready for more good news?

Oh, I think we all are.

Matty, come on, now.

Don't-don't leave us hanging.

Actually, I'm gonna let someone
very special show you herself.

Hi, Riley, hi, everyone.

You won't believe what's happening here.

Phoenix just partnered with a non-profit

to build Abina and her
friends new prefabricated homes

near the landfill, ensuring
that she'll be working

in the safest environment possible.

We're so excited. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Hope to see you guys again soon.

My name is Ethan Reigns.
Born February 11, 1974.

As you can see, I'm
standing in an office

at CIA headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Today's date is August 6, 2010.

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

and I need my true identity on record

in case something ever
happens to any the few people

who are read-in on my assignment,

codenamed Dragonfly.

Matty...

I want you to know that this

is the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.

I'm so sorry.

I love you.

I love you, too.
