Pressure on the watertight bulkheads from the decks above is-is mounting.

We need a more permanent solution.

We're gonna make putty.

Welcome to Hydrolysis . From the Ancient Greek "hydro", meaning "water", and "lysis", meaning "to unbind". To use this process to make putty, get some olive oil, sand, epoxy resin and shampoo. This will cause a reaction in which water molecules rupture chemical bonds to form new, longer chains strong enough to hold back water until help arrives.

Right, well, the rest of the chaps had to get on with pressing matters.

However, you two were called in because yesterday, this vehicle was listed for sale in Umbria, Italy.

"Vehicle" is being generous.

Yes, it may not look like much, but this is what automotive enthusiasts refer to as a...

"Barn find".

Old, rusted cars found abandoned in people's garages.

The seller has no idea that buried beneath all that rust and grime is a legendary Bizzarrini GT Strada.

A car with lines so exquisite its body had to be forged by hand.

Listed at...

... euros.

Restored value: one million.

So you're sending us to get you a new toy for your collection?

Meet Franco Scuro.

Number five in Interpol's most wanted.

Once the head of the Cornacchia crime family, he was last seen in fleeing from a sh**t with police driving a car of the same year, make and model.

You think this is Scuro's old car.

Well, it's the only lead that's surfaced since he vanished years ago.

And in that time, the Cornacchia crime family had become the suppliers of mass-casualty weapons to extremist groups across Western Europe.

The bombing in London last year.

And Paris.

And Belgium.

All made possible by Scuro's people.

I need you to go and confirm that the vehicle is his and follow any clues.

If this man is still breathing, we must find him and interrogate him.

Find Scuro, stop the weapons, stop the v*olence.

But if Desi and I are the only ones going to Italy, what's everyone else doing?

Bozer, any updates?

Since the last time you asked?

Larry b*at his personal best in the maze, uh, Curly pooped at hours, and...

oh, yeah...

Moe started sh**ting laser beams from his whiskers.

You know, Bozer, just because I'm off-site doesn't mean I can't hurt you.

I'm sorry, Matty, but it's been days since we injected these rats with nano-trackers from Mac and Riley's blood and nothing's happening.

Riley, what about you?

A device senses the collision, triggering a controlled expl*si*n which then inflates a bag that catches your head, all while your car is still crashing. Which should mean that these two airbags also pack enough punch to lift the front end of our Bizzarrini. That's not gonna work.

It's the nano-trackers.

That's what's causing the issue with Mac's hands.

What?

One of the rats is having the same problem in his front paw.

And the one thing you two have in common is those nano-trackers.

How can that be?

We made sure that the nano-trackers were inert when we got the sunset sequence from Silas.

And that's why I brought in Dr. Sandria...

the CIA's top neurologist.

The nano-trackers are inert, but they are foreign nanoparticles in the blood, which are having an unexpected physiological side effect.

All right, what does that mean exactly?

Basically, the nano-trackers have been forming a plaque in Mac's brain, kind of like cholesterol.

Which is restricting blood flow to the primary motor cortex that controls movement in the hands.

BOZER: So, while Mac's mind may be working fine, his hands aren't getting the message.

Similar to a stroke.

Is this gonna happen to me?

Each body reacts differently.

We don't know how your body will react, if at all.

SANDRIA: We have discovered the side effect gets worse with increased stress.

The good news is, the problem seems to be localized in his front paws...

hands...

and shouldn't spread any further.

Probably.

Maybe.

Could this be permanent?

There's still a lot we don't know.

But I promise to get you all the answers we can.

What if he makes a move?

Well, I thought you'd jump at the chance to ditch "Project Boring".

Well, "Project Boring" just became "Project Urgent".

Matty's right.

We need to figure out who's behind these nano-trackers and why.

Look, I may have a solution.

I-I wanted to do this for you and Matty at a better time, but...

I've been grooming these girls.

Now, hear me out.

- They do have criminal records,

- (SCOFFS)

but these are some seriously skilled computer hackers.

We could outsource code to them and create a program to watch the broker with real-time keystroke analytics by the time we land in Italy.

Are you really proposing we involve civilians in classified ops?

Well, yes.

But we could chop up the code into discreet sub-tasks so they can't see the whole program.

We can't possibly trust matters of national security to a bunch of delinquent girls with rap sheets.

You mean delinquent girls with rap sheets like me.

Look.

I don't mind you having personal projects on the side, but you shouldn't mix your personal life with official Phoenix business.

But it's cool for my boss to have me hack into his booty call's text messages on company time.

Got it.

He is humping the car, Taylor.

It's not him.

Just another car nut.

You don't survive years on the run without being obsessively careful.

He easily could've had a look from a distance hours ago.

Yeah, or he was never even in San Marino.

RILEY: Uh, where'd this guy behind the wheel of our car come from?

He's got something in his hand, but I can't make it out.

Taylor?

No visual for me.

BOTH: The cigarette lighter.

It's him.

Go, go, go!

Franco Scuro, you are under arrest!

Out of the car!

Slowly!

I'm done.

(CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

Polizia Stradale.

Stand down.

You have absolutely no authority here in the Republic of San Marino,

- so just back off.

Well, that's not good.

MACGYVER: Desi, door.

Door?

Thanks.

Damn, that old man knows how to drive that Bizzarrini.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Damn it, I can't keep up.

Riley, you got a shortcut?

Yes.

That road doubles back about five kilometers below you.

If you can get to it, you could cut them off, but then what?

Leave that part to me.

I mean us.

♪♪ ♪♪ (GRUNTS)

We only have a few more minutes before Scuro's car comes flying down that road.

I have an idea.

Catch.

All right, so, take that and run it through the hook from the truck's emergency kit, and then secure the loose end to the back wheel.

Yeah, but at the speed he's driving, we're gonna destroy that car.

Not if we raise the rear axle and wind up the cable.

- And then I'll tap the...

- At the exact moment that he hits the line

- and we Top g*n him.

- We Top g*n him.

MACGYVER: The principle of an arresting cable is simple. You have a limited distance to stop a high-velocity vehicle without causing damage to a very valuable object.

DESI: Typically they're used on aircraft carriers to catch fighter jets. But in our case, a very wanted crime boss and his lovingly restored car.

MACGYVER: But for it to work, many moving parts must function perfectly in sync.

(ENGINE STARTS)

DESI: He sets the trap to snag the car...

MACGYVER: While she works the brakes to adjust the tension and absorb the force of impact, until...

BOTH: We got him!

(SIGHS)

Get this to my daughter.

(ZIP TIE FASTENS)

MATTY: I heard they charged Marco Vecchi with m*rder and several flavors of conspiracy.

Well, that's one sexist slimeball cherry on our crime boss sundae.

Oh, did, uh, did Riley mention this, uh, hacker group of hers to you?

It's my job to know everything happening in my operatives' lives.

Yeah, she got all bent out of shape when I wouldn't read them in, but, uh, I mean, I made the right call, obviously.

Do you want me to shut it down?

No.

I'll keep an eye on it.

Oh, and, um, Matty, if you're blaming yourself for this nano-tracker business...

Russ... it was my mission.

I sent them.

And one way or another, I'm gonna fix it.

Good news.

Mac is already starting to regain control of his hands.

TAYLOR: All from meditation.

Really?

Guided body scan meditation.

Studies show it reduces stress by rewiring neural pathways in the brain which will mitigate future side effects and prevent anything from happening to Riley.

Perhaps we should start calling you Dr.

Double-O-Boze.

I like the sound of that.
