MacGyver

Where...

the hell am I?

_

Hello?! (GRUNTS)

I was just like you.

20 minutes ago.

Woke up here in shock, no idea where I was.

I came over, gave you a nudge.

But you were busy producing a puddle of drool.

Honestly, who am I to interrupt?

Gray.

It's an interesting choice.

It's supposed to be psychologically oppressive.

But I like gray.

So there.

I know you.

You're The Merchant.

You tried to kill Desi.

Who?

Listen, I'm...

I'm genuinely sorry.

I...

I-I meet a lot of people in my line of work.

So... (SNIFFS)

... if you wouldn't mind being a bit more specific.

Where the hell are we?!

I have no idea.

You're a liar!

What do you want from me?

Uh...

I want you to let go.

Please.

Clearly, you and I are in the same predicament.

It's just I'd say I'm handling it a bit better.

Eh? Without all the grabbing and shouting

and toxic masculinity.

This coming from the man

who murdered a woman in a soccer stadium.

Was that you?

On the soccer pitch.

Oh, right.

You're that teenager from the, um...

from the Falcon organization.

Fal...

Phoenix... Foundation.

You're the criminally insane weasel on the run from Codex.

I don't like that word.

- What, "weasel"? - "Insane".

It's a simple word stupid people use

when they can't face the complexities of the human psyche.

"Sociopath"... there's another one.

It's like, "Everyone, calm down.

Stop trying to label me".

What was the last thing that you remember?

I was drinking a cup of tea,

oolong,

in a Shanghai cafe.

Everything went dark.

I woke up, I was being transported somewhere,

then held.

I really don't know.

I just...

found myself coming to here.

You?

I was in China, tracking you.

Oh, were you?

Well, serves you right, then, doesn't it?

You're bleeding, by the way.

Oh, look.

I've got one, too. Twinsies.

There's something sewn in under the skin.

Please.

Please stop poking it.

It's a planted port.

Oh, you mean there's an IV in here?

Yeah.

Yeah, that explains why we're so disoriented.

We've been drugged.

Judging by the stitches,

I'd say we've been here a week.

I don't...

I don't want to be in this cell.

I really... (BREATHING HEAVILY)

I really don't want to be in this cell.

Yeah, well, neither do I.

And I got a bad feeling nobody's coming for us.

Which means our only hope of getting out of here...

is each other.

Got it.

Got what?

Oh, t... I told you to stop poking that.

That's just...

: Try...

Trying to...

make it more difficult

for our captors to drug me.

Keeping hold of that, are we?

Never know. Might come in handy.

No, I kn...

I know who you are.

You're that bloke that makes things out of things, right?

You're like,

"I-I got a toothbrush,

I got some bubblegum, some duct tape and some earwax,

and, hey, hey, presto, I just made an aeroplane".

Let go of me! I don't speak crazy!

Get him off me! Get him off me!

- Get him off me! - Calm down! Calm down!

- I can't calm down! - Just...

listen to my voice, okay?

- I find it irritating. Please be quiet. - (MUTTERS)

My name is Angus.

What's your name?

- (EXHALES) - (CHUCKLING)

What are you trying to do, get me to laugh myself to death?

That's terrible, that is.

What, they named you after beef? (CHUCKLES)

Pretty sure it's Scottish.

My name's Clive.

It's not an alias.

Well, Clive, just...

make sure to breathe deep...

Why don't you shut up and let me listen to the birds?

I like listening to the birds.

What birds?

- Shh. - (BIRDS TWITTERING)

: Listen to that. You hear that?

That's a reed parrotbill.

And the other one, the...

That's a bunting.

That's a Tibetan bunting.

I think we're still in China.

Birds migrate,

but there is a way to confirm if what you're saying is true.

What are you doing?

- (CLANGING) - (GROANS SOFTLY)

Shh!

- (COUGHING) - (CLANGING)

Oi. N-No, no, no.

Oh, that's incredible.

This pipe most likely runs throughout the entire prison.

So...

if I create a seal between

my ear and this hole...

No. No, it's incredibly unhygienic.

Your face is right next to that bucket of wee.

- (GROANS) - (MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

Speaking Mandarin.

I told you.

I told you, didn't I?

So we are in China.

When are they coming for you?

Who?

The Phoenix people.

Yeah, they're not coming.

Great.

So what now?

Why don't we talk about the people

who did this to us?

Let's talk about Codex.

What, you think this is Codex?

How else do you explain the two of us in a cell together?

I shut down their match fixing operation.

You lost a lot of money for them.

Our common enemy is Codex.

Yeah, but I paid them back since then, didn't I?

And I've kept in their good graces.

This is not Codex.

Someone's coming.

_

Well?

I think he bought it.

Hook, line and sinker.

He's got a thing about birds.

Is that gonna be a problem?

The techs have done their research.

Hey. You okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

I need a reset on the rat.

Who's got the rat food?

And, Riley, I need those weather effects yesterday.

Almost there.

I see you're finally connecting with someone emotionally.
