MacGyver (2016) | Best Contraptions from Season 2 | Paramount+

0:00 Jack, how's it coming over there?

0:01 Well, it stinks to high heaven, but it's getting really thick.

0:04 Look at that.

0:05 Well, you're not supposed to inhale the fumes.

0:07 A, and B, thick is good.

0:09 That means it's ready.

0:10 That looks like C4.

0:11 No, it's not exactly C4, but it's not too far off, either.

0:14 I couldn't find what I needed laying around, so I had to make do.

0:22 Here we go.

0:23 And Jack,

0:24 Don't agitate the explosive, yeah?

0:26 [music] No, it's not shock sensitive.

0:27 I was just going to say hurry.

0:30 As in hurry.

0:31 Go!

0:31 Go!

0:41 Where exactly do you want me to put this thing again?

0:43 Equidistant.

0:44 Equi- what?

0:45 In the middle, between the two I-beams.

0:47 Okay.

0:48 Equidistant.

0:50 You're saying middle.

1:01 Hey, Mac, wait.

1:04 Look, I I dig your whole hero vibe, really, I do.

1:07 But you and Jack have gone above and beyond,

1:10 and it really should be me going down there.

1:11 I promised I'd get Diaz back, too.

1:13 Besides, if this breaks down, I'm the only one who can fix it.

1:16 Okay.

1:16 The camera's talking boom booms in place.

1:18 What's next?

1:19 Uh yeah, just tell me to get down here with all the stuff.

1:21 We've got 30 minutes till they livestream Diaz's murder.

1:24 You sure that's enough time?

1:25 to have to be.

1:26 That shaped charge is going to punch a hole in the dam.

1:27 It's going to flood the catacombs.

1:29 Then, after about 20 minutes, that pressure's going to widen the hole.

1:32 And the whole damn dam comes down.

1:34 And if I'm not back by then,

1:35 or if I'm wrong about any of this, Diaz and I both drown.

1:41 See why it should be me?

2:21 She arrived at 11:37 this morning,

2:24 and this is everyone who entered 30 minutes before and after her.

2:27 This man wears a now.

2:30 Facial recognition last, flag him on the penthouse level.

2:32 Damn, again?

2:34 What is that, like 90 grand?

2:36 Kojak throwing the Tootsie Pop.

2:38 Man, you're killing it.

2:39 Me, on the other hand,

2:40 I feel like I'm starting to tread water in the shallow end,

2:42 you know what I mean?

2:43 Doing the old You know, fun fact, you know the one breed of dog that can't swim?

2:50 Huh?

2:51 Nobody?

2:53 Found the door.

2:55 I'm going to borrow your phone.

2:55 You'll get back, I think.

3:15 Yeah, one second.

3:21 You sure this is going to work?

3:23 Still no, but it's our best shot.

3:25 Riley, how's it going?

3:27 Okay, I'm shutting off this pacemaker.

3:29 Now.

3:31 Okay, start compressions.

3:36 1.17 hertz audio.

3:38 It's the same frequency as a human heartbeat.

3:41 Same pulse that's coming out of those speakers.

3:42 It's going through these wires.

3:51 We have a pulse.

3:55 [laughter] It's It's weak, but it's there.

3:57 Well, photos Diaz reflecting visible light are over.

4:00 Fire scorched most of the emulsion,

4:02 but if there are any silver bromide crystals left,

4:05 they should still glow if we hit them with enough X-rays.

4:07 Thank you.

4:09 That's why I'm opening this portable

4:12 X-ray emitter and removing the voltage resistor.

4:18 If I swap it for a penny, I can use the copper to rebuild

4:22 the connection and get a higher output of X-rays.

4:25 Is it safe?

4:28 I would recommend stepping back and covering yourselves.

4:33 Closer.

4:33 The lights.

4:37 Uh Mac, I don't see anything.

4:39 You don't, but the camera sure does.

4:41 Lights again.

4:45 It's called X-ray fluorescence.

4:48 I got a plan.

4:49 It's right here.

4:50 It's This little plan doesn't involve me putting

4:55 away a 70-year-old can of corn, does it?

4:58 No.

4:58 I just need the can, not the corn, so have at it.

5:00 What do you recommend?

5:13 Cage and Wheeler are down here.

5:14 We should be able to see their heat signatures on this.

5:24 Is that me?

5:26 Did you just make [music] a 1940s thermal camera?

5:41 Okay, Jack.

5:42 The rebels scatter.

5:43 I need you to go to the runway and grab

5:45 as many seat belts as you can from those destroyed planes.

5:48 Seat belts?

5:48 And the leopard people are going to suddenly scatter because?

5:51 Because they are going to be running towards

5:53 what they think is an enemy firing at them.

6:01 Use your weapon.

6:03 Am I going to get it back?

6:04 Yeah, absolutely.

6:06 At least look me in the eye if you're going to lie to me.

6:09 Okay, that's better.

6:16 Now, hey H, while Jack's collecting,

6:18 you and I are going to go hot-wire that truck.

6:20 Oh, the one with the highly flammable barrels of jet fuel in the bed.

6:25 Super.

6:25 Means we got to be long gone before the rebels catch on.

6:29 Just one stray bullet, it's game over.

6:32 Okay?

6:33 Everyone ready?

6:34 Well, actually, I have a few questions.

6:36 Sorry, clock's ticking, pal.

6:44 How long we got?

6:46 I want to know.

6:47 Well, it's a time delay relay made with a rock, backpack, and two shoelaces.

6:52 my shoelaces.

6:54 It's not exactly an atomic clock, is what I'm saying.

6:57 Fair enough.

7:06 Mac, if you had to guess, like roughly?

7:11 We don't need our truck.

7:12 We just need a distraction, and keep your eyes on that one,

7:15 cuz that's what we're getting again.

7:16 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

7:17 Here, stay back.

7:17 Stay back.

7:18 He's up something.

7:22 Hey.

7:23 Careful, that thing is the most dangerous thing.

7:36 Run!

7:40 Wow!

7:42 Did you just make tear gas?

7:43 Hey, it was the best I could do on the fly.

7:45 Um I need your shoelaces and and a boot.

7:49 Jack, give me your new boot.

7:50 Jack, give me your cell phone, you'll please.

7:52 It would be nice.

7:54 Like you would raise my pack of wolves or something.

7:58 You have zero respect for my stuff, dude.

8:12 [music] Oh, hey, wait.

8:13 Can I see what you're doing, Dr.

8:14 Jones?

8:14 Yeah, I don't know what I'd do.

8:15 Let's do it.

8:28 That's it?

8:29 Yeah.

8:30 Man, stealing modern art is easy.

8:33 Hey.

8:35 What the hell are you doing?

8:37 It's leaking!

8:38 Then get out of there!

8:39 It's too late!

8:40 I'm already exposed!

8:45 Let's get back.

8:46 Wait, wait, wait.

8:47 Break the glass, we all die.

8:48 Let V X get in the water.

8:51 He'll think of something.

8:57 Now, what are you doing?

8:59 Adrenaline.

9:00 Injury releases adrenaline in the body, which can slow the effects of the gas.

9:03 He's buying himself time.

9:04 I've got to make A VENT HOOD!

9:06 LIKE THE ONES IN EVERY LABORATORY EVER BUILT!

9:08 WON'T THAT just spread the gas to the air above the plant?

9:12 No!

9:13 Sewer gas lines are already SET UP TO SAFELY DISPOSE OF THE DEAD THING!

9:21 I push the gas through an industrial flare!

9:26 I'M GOING TO USE THAT SAME system to [snorts] ignite

9:32 the VX gas and burn it off before it can disperse!

9:45 See?

9:46 It's working!

9:48 Bend the generator's fuel line into a U-shape

9:51 around the wheel and axle assembly.

9:53 Okay, done.

9:56 How's this look?

9:58 Yeah, that's perfect.

9:59 You just built yourself a peristaltic pump.

10:02 Now, running the drill should push diesel along the fuel line

10:05 and into the generator just like the fuel pump should have.

10:11 Just like that.

10:12 Wow, I used to help me mind is not too.

10:19 [music] Oh my god.

10:28 Oh my god, we did it.

10:29 Oh my god.

10:31 All right, I I I never really know if

10:33 I'm going to find what I need to make well,

10:35 whatever it is I need, but this time I got lucky.

10:41 Too lucky.

10:43 Matches and aluminum foil are everywhere,

10:47 but sodium hydroxide doesn't exactly grow on trees.

10:51 Neither does tin foil.

10:54 Not today.

10:55 Pick, but it doesn't doesn't grow on trees.

10:59 I was in a hurry calculating exothermic reaction rates in my head,

11:02 so I didn't really think about it at the time, but along with sodium hydroxide,

11:07 I also found cold medicine and nail polish remover,

11:12 which can only mean one thing.

11:24 Oh.

11:25 Cool.

11:25 So, you think [music] she's going to be

11:26 able to make your strobe light phone thingy?

11:28 That's a photophone.

11:29 Whatever.

11:31 [music] And uh yeah, they're pretty straightforward.

11:32 I'll show you.

11:32 Can you grab me that boombox right there?

11:34 Huh?

11:39 Pretty sad excuse [music] for a boombox, but here you go.

11:55 All right, here.

11:56 Start talking.

11:57 I need to test it.

11:58 What do you want me to do?

11:59 Just start talking.

12:00 What do you want me to say?

12:01 Doesn't matter.

12:02 Anything you want.

12:10 How we doing?

12:11 Nearly there.

12:12 We're all wired up.

12:13 I'm just finishing coding a program to convert that flickering light to sound.

12:18 Oh my my music hits me so hard.

12:21 Like you say, "Oh my my I don't think Jack knows we can hear him.

12:24 Are you sure?

12:25 I mean, it is Jack that we're talking about.

12:27 Riley, please tell him to shut up.

12:28 Unfortunately, I can't.

12:29 We still need to build our transmitter.

12:31 Build it quickly.

12:33 MacGyver, can you get me a screwdriver from back there?

12:35 Yeah.

12:50 You're using the AC systems carbon [music] dioxide sensors to build

12:54 an electronic nose so we could sniff out Bruno's exhaust.

12:58 It may not be the cutting edge tech

13:00 you're used to, but it'll still do the trick.

13:06 Jack, I need your cell phone.

13:07 Huh?

13:07 You heard me.

13:08 It's brand new.

13:09 Jack.

13:09 There's three phones sitting right there,

13:11 and she is my wife, so technically they're half mine.

13:13 Just use one of those.

13:14 Okay, number one, those phones are evidence.

13:16 Number two, she's not really your [music] wife.

13:19 And number three, give Mac your damn phone.

13:21 Yeah, yeah, one, two, three, break Jack's phone.

13:23 I get it.

13:25 Uh I'm going to need a broom.

13:28 What are we going to clean the place?

13:30 Go get it.

13:33 So, ever since 2004, all US currency has been printed using metallic ink.

13:38 So, more bills Well, you don't got to smile while you're breaking it.

13:44 Sorry.

13:45 Means more metal.

13:47 Now, if we can attach the Hall effect

13:49 sensor from your phone to this radio speaker,

13:52 thank you, should have our little makeshift metal detector.

14:01 More good news, we can't get in.

14:03 I could shoot it out there,

14:04 but I think I better save some ammo for the Terminator.

14:06 No, no, no, no, no, I I I can get through this.

14:07 It's low-grade steel.

14:07 I just need a piece of uh heavy-duty high-carbon steel.

14:12 All yours, MacGyver.

14:14 Don't do this.

14:16 Get him off me.

14:16 If there was a contest for all-time worst ideas, this one's the blue ribbon.

14:20 I have a choice?

14:21 Just that creepy smile.

14:30 Got it.

14:34 All right, Leanna, knock him out and meet us at the balcony, all right?

14:37 But it's a balcony.

14:38 Yeah, but just go with it.

14:48 Hey, Leanna, look down.

14:50 Omar's out cold.

14:51 What now?

14:51 Tie one of these ends to your railing.

15:17 The hell is going on?

15:20 Omar?

15:25 Good work.

15:26 Do you think the guards heard?

15:27 Everything all right here?

15:28 Yep, I think they heard.

15:34 Hello.

15:35 Hello.

15:45 Honey.

15:48 Honey.

15:57 Honey.

15:58 Riley, meet us in the parking lot with a set of wheels.

16:00 We're coming in hot.

16:02 How far into the exclusion zone is this town, exactly?

16:07 A few miles.

16:08 Oh, and before you start complaining, Dalton, let me remind you,

16:11 the sooner you get Sergey, the sooner you get out of there.

16:13 So, if I were you, I'd start walking.

16:15 Yeah, yeah, kind of figured that.

16:17 So, how much radiation we talking about here, man?

16:19 I mean, is it the good kind where you get superpowers?

16:22 Or or the bad kind where you're super dead?

16:24 Well, there is no good kind,

16:26 but we are 10 miles away from the site of the nuclear meltdown,

16:29 so levels [music] of the bad kind should be safe,

16:32 but just to put your little mind at ease, I have whipped up something that will

16:37 help us monitor these [music] levels of radiation, and it is my Geiger counter.

16:43 Your MacGyver counter?

16:45 That's a little conceited of you.

16:46 Well, it's really sad.

16:47 It's what you call it.

16:48 Radiation sickness, I can deal with.

16:49 Your puns, I cannot, okay?

16:52 Okay.

16:52 Okay.

16:55 Nice.

16:56 Is it supposed to already be clicking like that?

16:58 Yeah, it's what it's supposed to do.

17:00 Pick up levels of radiation.

17:02 Right now, it's just low.

17:03 Hey, Jack, pop the hood, put it in neutral, and floor it.

17:06 I'll be back.

17:06 Okay.

17:19 [music] Gun it, Jack.

17:32 You are a very strange young man, MacGyver.

17:37 Some people have mentioned it before.

17:39 These guys must be sneaking real ones out

17:40 of the country and smuggling fake hundreds back in.

17:44 One way to find out.

18:03 Well, that's something you don't see every day.

18:05 We're going to take them all out at once.

18:06 It's brilliant.

18:07 Uh-huh.

18:07 What?

18:08 You You You want to fill us in here?

18:10 All right.

18:11 So, this is a light ballast.

18:14 I need as many of these as we can find.

18:16 Okay.

18:16 Okay.

18:17 Hey, take that.

18:18 You want me to do it?

18:18 Yes, take it.

18:19 And the lights.

18:25 Let's get it.

18:41 Oh, yes.

18:43 Yeah, uh now I I obviously I understand what you're building as usual,

18:47 but but what about small fry here, you know, it's a teachable moment here.

18:50 I know what a Faraday cage is, dumb ass.

18:52 Hey, watch your mouth, kid.

18:53 Starting to like this kid.

18:55 And uh yes, Ethan, it is a Faraday cage,

18:59 which will shield whatever's inside of it

19:01 from the electrical energy outside of it.

19:02 Obviously.

19:04 That's I I don't understand how a Faraday cage is going to stop a group

19:07 of highly trained killers from banging down upon

19:09 us with with automatic weapons and ill intent.

19:12 You let him carry a gun?

19:13 Your mouth.

19:14 It's a Faraday cage, Jack,

19:16 and it's not It's just going to keep us from getting electrocuted.

19:18 Electrocuted?

19:19 But I I I thought you said the EMP

19:21 knocked all of the electricity out of the building.

19:23 No, it fried all the electronics in the building.

19:25 Oh, the city's electrical grid is still going strong.

19:31 Since we are on the first floor, which means we still have power.

19:36 Huh, good.

19:36 Let's kill those bastards.

19:38 Easy there, Chuck.

19:39 No, no, I'm with him.

19:39 Relax.

19:40 We're just going to knock them out long enough for the cavalry to come.

19:44 What happens if your Faraday cage doesn't work?

19:46 As a friend once said, then the rest of day is going to suck.

19:48 Indeed.

19:52 [panting] There you are.

19:54 Don't move.

19:56 Now.

19:57 Now.

20:17 Now that was cool.

20:19 Hell yeah, we're Language.

20:20 Hey, have you heard him talk?

20:21 He's a little bull cub.

20:22 Damn right I am.

20:24 See?

20:25 Got it, Riley.

20:25 Could you turn on the gas stoves, but don't light the burners?

20:28 What?

20:28 So, your brilliant plan is to kill us slowly with gas?

20:30 Oh, nothing about this is going to be slow.

20:31 I didn't say it was brilliant.

20:32 Turn on those burners fast.

20:34 They're going to be coming in here any second.

20:38 Oh, that's nasty.

20:48 Gross.

20:50 They're in the diner.

20:50 [clears throat] Spread out.

20:51 Find your way in.

20:52 I really hope we're almost done.

20:53 Come here.

20:53 Let's go faster.

20:54 Freeze her.

20:55 Let's go.

20:55 Right now.

20:56 Freeze her.

21:02 You know, if we make it out of here,

21:03 I'm going to recommend you talk to someone about your codependency issues.

21:06 Let's be honest, it's a pretty big if.

21:10 They're in here somewhere.

21:11 Spread out.

21:13 Okay, you ready?

21:14 Yeah.

21:15 Yeah.

21:15 Set gas.

21:20 Run.

21:29 I don't think this is a drone.

21:30 You think it's a missile?

21:32 Yes.

21:33 Highly sophisticated, virtually unstoppable one.

21:36 Or at least a prototype.

21:37 Something like that could change the balance

21:38 of power in war zones around the world.

21:47 That explains why your friends want it.

21:50 Which is why we absolutely must not let them take it.

21:53 Okay, so I guess you better stop staring

21:54 at that thing and finish welding that door, right, Mac?

22:03 Change of plans.

22:05 These guys want the sphere back so badly, well, let them have it.

22:18 Sir, the signal is back on.

22:19 Where?

22:20 It's coming from over there.

22:31 Sir, in here.

22:35 Not clear.

22:39 FIND YOU, SIR.

22:47 YOU'RE ONLY DELAYING THE INEVITABLE.

22:51 WE'RE GOING TO shoot our way out of here, you,

22:55 all your little friends, and walk out of here with that device.

23:01 Wait, you mean this device?

23:15 [music] So, we're looking for something to pull us out there.

23:26 Quickly and quietly.

23:28 And assemble your rig.

23:30 Yeah.

23:31 You know what?

23:32 We could source all the parts from those vehicles right there.

23:34 Guard patrols they pass by every 4 minutes,

23:36 so if we time the start of our ascent right,

23:38 we should be able to get to the roof easily without getting spotted.

23:40 The only other variable are the lookouts.

23:43 Unless they're neutralized, they'll notice us the moment we start rising.

23:46 No, don't worry about that.

23:48 Dalton's got it covered.

23:49 They'll never see him coming.

23:50 One of these.

23:54 Okay, that's four down and how many to go, huh?

23:56 How many of there are you?

23:58 Should have asked you that before I put you to sleep.

24:00 I'm going [music] to borrow your machine gun.

24:02 Let's probably ask the next one.

24:23 Ready?

24:24 Yep.
