- Jack Dalton: [Jack is in an office of I.T. techs in Oklahoma City, trying to find the person who's controlling Bruno] Riley, this place is absolutely ginormous. Any chance you chance you can tell me how to find this scumbag?
- Riley Davis: Sorry, Jack. I can tell you where he is on the network, but not in the real world. You're just gonna have to search that place one I.T. tech at a time.
- Jack Dalton: [sees the fire alarm] Or... I could use an old high school trick.
- [pulls the fire alarm]
- Jack Dalton: OK, PEOPLE, EVERYBODY OUT! BIG FIRE COMING THIS WAY!
- [I.T. techs don't move]
- Jack Dalton: HEY! HEY! IS MINIMUM WAGE WORTH DYING FOR? I DON'T THINK SO. NOT LAST TIME I CHECKED. SIR, YOU LIKE BEING ON FIRE? NO, NO, NO. THAT'S RIGHT.
- [singing-like]
- Jack Dalton: It's getting hot in here.
- [normal voice]
- Jack Dalton: No time for eye contact, sir, think of your family.
- [every I.T. tech clears out but one, Jack notices him, and walks over to him]
- Jack Dalton: And then there was one. What's up, dude?
- [takes a picture of the man with his phone, which auto-sends to Riley]
- Jack Dalton: Riley, coming you're way. Hey, wait a minute. Don't I know you? Did you go to my high school or something?
- Riley Davis: [recieving Jack's auto-sent picture] No, Jack, you didn't go to school with him, but you have seen him before. That's Martin Korman. Founder of the Korman challenge.
- Jack Dalton: The geek from the Robo-apocalypse contest? Why would you sabotage your own thing, man?
- Martin Korman: 'Cause it's not my thing. Not anymore.
- Jack Dalton: What do you mean?
- Martin Korman: I wanted to build unmanned ambulances to save wounded soldiers, but the government just wanted another weapon. They want to take the human element out of war.
- Jack Dalton: Well, mister, I was the human element in war. Believe you me, it's not pretty. Anything we can do to get the soldiers off the battlefield is a good thing, right?
- Martin Korman: Not if we can't control what we put in there place.
- Jack Dalton: Touche.
- Martin Korman: Robots can be hacked. Human soldiers can't. When I tried to explain this to my superiors, they pulled my security clearance. Forced me out. I had to make them see the mistake they were making. And since violence seems to be all they understand...
- Jack Dalton: What did you program that thing to do?
- Riley Davis: Unfortunately, I can answer that. I just got into Korman's computer. He sent Bruno commands to fire everything it's got at the Pentagon.
- Jack Dalton: Well, if you're at Frankenstein's computer, Riley, can't you just shut the monster down?
- Riley Davis: No, I can't. He sent his final command, then severed his connection to Bruno, making the drone fully autonomous. And I can't hack Bruno remotely. I've tried.
- Jack Dalton: Ok. Ok. Ok, Dr. Frankenstein, on your feet.
- [Korman gets up from his chair]
- Jack Dalton: Don't mess around, I'll put one in you. Let's go.
- Jack Dalton: [Matty is calling him, he answers his phone] Don't tell me, let me guess. You started the robot apocalypse.
- Matty Webber: Yes. We have a runaway robot.
- Jack Dalton: Well, I called that one, didn't I?
- Matty Webber: But a human is in control. Someone hijacked a fully-loaded military drone, and we believe it's heading for the Pentagon.
- Jack Dalton: Does this someone have a name yet?
- Matty Webber: We're working on it. Riley traced his signal to a network in Oklahoma City. And you're my closest agent. By the time you get there, we should have exact coordinates.
- Jack Dalton: Ok, I'm on my way.
- [hangs up, looks at the school banner on the wall behind him, and makes a hook 'em horns sign with his fingers]
- Jack Dalton: GO LONGHORNS!
- Angus MacGyver: [after finding out that someone hacked into Bruno] And you can't think of any way that someone could've gained access to Bruno? Like a... like a breach firewall or a phishing email?
- Allie Winthrop: No. No, I'm insanely paranoid. And my security protocols are better than the NSA's
- Wilt Bozer: Well, somebody got in. We need to get them out. Riley, what if we just shut down all the cell towers? Cut them off from Bruno?
- Riley Davis: First thing I tried. But 300 milliseconds after I killer the towers, Bruno switched over to a Chinese spy satellite. I'm trying to hack into that now, but it could take hours.
- Wilt Bozer: We don't have hours. The Pentagon's only 30 minutes away.
- Allie Winthrop: And even if you killed the satellite, I programmed Bruno to adapt. He'll just switch to ad hoc cellular, unsecured wi-fi, infrasound.
- Angus MacGyver: [looking at the houses outside his window] Actually, I have an idea. Allie, pull over now.
- Angus MacGyver: [after hearing an explosion, referring to the F-22 with orders to destroy Bruno] Matty, was that...?
- Matty Webber: [looks at the radar screen] No. You still have nine and a half minutes before the F-22 is in range.
- [Mac exhales]
- Wilt Bozer: Ok, Mac, as Jack would say, time to be brilliant. So what you got?
- Angus MacGyver: At this exact moment? Absolutely nothing.
- Riley Davis: Guys, I have an idea. I can modify Korman's kill code to reinstall the kill switch and shut Bruno down for good, but... I-I can't deliver the code remotely.
- Wilt Bozer: What does that mean?
- Riley Davis: Means your gonna have to physically upload the code by plugging a USB drive directly into Bruno.
- Wilt Bozer: That's... *insane*!
- Matty Webber: Agreed. But right now, insane is all we got. Mac, do you think you can do this?
- Angus MacGyver: What? Climb on board an out-of-control military drone and find a way inside in under nine minutes? Guess we're gonna find out.
- [accelerates his foot on the gas]
- Matty Webber: Guys, we've got a big problem.
- Wilt Bozer: You mean besides the hacked military combat drone heading for the Pentagon with Allie trapped inside?
- Matty Webber: Unfortunately, yes. The Air Force just scrambled three F-22s with orders to destroy Bruno on sight. You guys have, like, 20 minutes, tops, to get Allie out of there.
- Angus MacGyver: Matty, you gotta call that off.
- Matty Webber: Mac, I tried. Homeland Security thinks this is the best option.
- Angus MacGyver: Well, then, we gotta give 'em a better one.
- Wilt Bozer: In the next 20 minutes? And if we can't?
- Angus MacGyver: We gotta hope Jack's gonna be able to find whoever's controlling Bruno before it's too late.
- Wilt Bozer: [Bruno is destroying other drones, which is panicking the other people around them] Ok, this has to be a rules violation.
- Angus MacGyver: I don't think this is part of the contest
- [sees Allie typing on her laptop, he runs over to her]
- Angus MacGyver: Allie. Allie!
- Allie Winthrop: It's not me. I'm locked out. Bruno won't respond to any of my commands.
- Riley Davis: Has this ever happened before?
- Allie Winthrop: Never. I don't know what's going on.
- Wilt Bozer: [sees Bruno heading their way] MAC!
- [he and Riley run out of the way; Mac tackles Allie to get out of Bruno's way; Bruno drives off]
- Angus MacGyver: [to Allie] Any chance that thing has an off switch?
- Allie Winthrop: I wasn't lying when I said I liked you. 'Cause I did. I still do.
- Angus MacGyver: Really? That's cool. That's, uh... I-I really don't know what to say about that right now. But, uh, let's go stop your killer robot.
- Angus MacGyver: Hey, I need Allie's help, so can you just switch with her?
- Wilt Bozer: You couldn't have mentioned the need to switch drivers before we pulled onto the road again?
- Angus MacGyver: Have you met me? I am just making this up as I go along, man.
