MacGyver

- Previously, on "MacGyver"... - Hey. Hey, Mac.

Dragonfly, that's it. Grab it, let's go.

What-what is this Dragonfly, exactly?

That information is need-to-know.

My name is Ethan Reigns.

I'm making this video because

tomorrow I start deep cover.

Code name Dragonfly.

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

I'm so sorry.

I love you.

I love you, too.

All right, Dan.

What's so important that it was worth

interrupting Christmas dinner with your family?

You should know the Agency isn't gonna do anything.

About what?

You didn't get this from me.

Honestly, Bozer.

I don't know why you bother anymore.

How about next year we just keep it simple, order some takeout.

Yeah. Yeah, man. That way

when some dingbat terrorist

tries to steal an intercontinental missile

or weaponize the weather,

we're not... stuck wasting four pounds of pastrami,

trying to save the world in slacks.

Two things I never thought I'd hear in the same sentence:

"intercontinental missile" and my Christmas pastrami.

Okay, I'm still not connecting the dots

between Christmas and cured meat.

Well, the secret's in the marinade. Please, don't get him started.

Yeah, trust me, you do not want to go down that road.

Yeah, you're not gonna want to start that conversation

unless your afternoon is clear.

No, ignore the haters, Leanna.

As soon as we get back from dealing with these terrorists,

I'll tell you the origin story

of the greatest holiday tradition since mistletoe.

On second thought, why wait?

- You know, when I was... - Hey, guys.

I don't think this is about terrorists.

When Matty asked us to come in, it...

sounded personal.

Hey, Matty. What's going on?

Close the door.

Yesterday a man named Samir Verma

was arrested for smuggling half a ton of heroin into Croatia.

My friend at the Agency passed me footage

of Samir's interrogation

from Lepavina Prison, where he's being held.

Do we maybe want to run some translation software?

Forget the cops. Focus on Samir's body language.

This guy got caught

smuggling half a ton of heroin?

What's the minimum sentence for that in Croatia?

Decade. Maybe even two.

Well, if that's the case, then what is this chucklehead

smiling about?

This.

Tell the American CIA

that I know all about Ethan Reigns.

And I will start talking in 48 hours

unless they walk me out the front door.

Are we supposed to know

- who Ethan Reigns... - Ethan Reigns... is my husband.

Matty, d-did you just say your husband?

Ethan and I worked together

at the CIA until eight years ago

when he accepted an undercover assignment

and was inserted into the largest criminal syndicate

in South Asia, S-Company,

a group that profits

from drug trafficking, kidnapping

and politically motivated bombings.

Ethan's assignment...

was code-named Dragonfly.

Dragonfly?

That's the name of the file you sent us into Ghana to recover.

Ethan was only supposed to be under for a year,

but as he rose up the S-Company ranks,

he kept passing back increasingly valuable intel

to the CIA, so...

they kept extending his assignment.

Samir is threatening to expose Ethan as a spy

if the CIA doesn't comply with his demands.

Wouldn't take long

for a rumor like that to get

from the prison population back to S-Company.

At which that point, they would...

- Kill him. - All right, hang on, now, hang on.

If the CIA sent you this video,

that means they saw it before you did.

Why wouldn't they just send Ethan a signal

warning him that his cover had been compromised?

- Warning Ethan is not a possibility. - Why not?

Because two years, three months and 11 days ago,

Ethan stopped communicating with his handler.

All efforts to locate him

in Mumbai, where he was living at the time, failed.

The CIA's theory is that Ethan flipped sides.

But the truth is nobody knows why he went dark.

Two years.

- Matty, I'm so sorry. - My friend at the Agency

passed me the footage

because Uncle Sam is currently negotiating

a new trade agreement with the Croatian government.

- What does that have to do with... - Well, the U.S. government

isn't gonna waste the political capital

to transfer Samir to another prison.

Not when they have bigger fish to fry.

And... I can't say I blame them.

So no one's going to help Ethan.

No one but us. You need us

to break into that prison, grab Samir, break back out

before he has a chance to tell anyone else what he knows.

My husband's life depends on it.

*MacGyver (2016)* Season 03 Episode 10

*MacGyver (2016)* Episode Title: "Matty + Ethan + Fidelity"

Hey.

Hey.

Don't bother.

Hey.

KC and The Sunshine Band?

- Really? - Who doesn't love

KC and The Sunshine Band?

My name is Ethan.

Let's get you home.

Okay.

Now, they first met

when Ethan saved Matty on an op that went belly-up.

You know, he and I had only crossed paths

a couple of times at the CIA.

He had a reputation for being

an exceptional agent

with a certain pizzazz for getting under the ASAC's skin,

which is something I kind of liked about him,

to be honest with you.

But I was one of the only ones

that knew that, uh, those two were an item.

That's not really condoned behavior at the Agency.

There were some grumblings that he was on a deep cover op.

I didn't know the details, but, you know...

I knew enough not to ask.

You know what I mean?

Can't believe this.

- What, that Matty was married? - No.

That Jack was able to keep a secret for that long.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact

that if this Samir guy never got arrested,

- we never would've found out. - I know.

I feel like, all of a sudden, Matty's a totally different person.

Nah. Same person, Boze.

You're just getting to peek behind the curtain, that's all.

Two years is a long time to wonder what happened

to someone you love.

Especially since the CIA's official position

is that Ethan flipped sides.

I don't buy that for a second.

Matty Webber is a human lie detector.

No way she'd get married to a guy who'd bat for the bad guys.

But nobody's immune to what happens to your head

when you go under.

Y-You walk enough in the shoes of whatever role you're playing,

soon enough, you're gonna see things their way.

Guys, I hate to say this, but...

there could be another reason Ethan went dark.

If he didn't flip, I mean.

He was exposed as a U.S. operative, and executed.

Yeah, there is that.

She must have so many questions.

Yeah.

Hey, Matty.

Blondie.

I've been replaying all the conversations that we've had

over the last year, while I was searching for my dad,

and all the times that you've been there for me.

And then I realized that you've been living the same nightmare

with your husband, and I had no idea.

It's okay, Mac.

You didn't know, because, I didn't tell you.

How did you do your job every day, like everything was fine?

I'm in awe.

But I also wanted to tell you,

I wanted you to know

that I am going to do everything that I can

to make sure that you get the answers you deserve.

Just like you did for me.

I know you will.

Bozer and I are in position.

I'm behind the prison's firewall.

Now I just need to give myself super-user access,

and we can really have some fun.
