I did a lot of editing for this one. so much to say. but Mac is sad. (oh yeah, i forgot to mention he looks 12 too and Angus????? really?) hes sad his girlfriend who died and isn't dead and is a traitor is still out thereand he goes to her apartment to try and figure it out a lot but Jack Dalton, who still isn't a big mustached taxi driving looking pilot finds him there cause hes so smart. My Jack Dalton from the 80's would have been in a bar and got lost in the Mens room. Then the meet Pete Thorton for a meeting (the lady-one now who does kick boxing and isn't fat and bald) and learn that a reporter, who is really a spy, was caught in Venzuela as a spy so they have to rescue her cause Government wants to not be connected. Guess what, its Jack Daltons ex flame. So now Mac is fine love wise like nothing happened and Jack is sad, (till the end, then shes engaged and Jack is sad but gets over it and then Mac is back to being sad). While this is going on the pretty bad girl who is the new Systems analyst, who reminds me of a hot Lisa Bonet, is going to her parole officer and pretends Macs roommate is her boyfriend. So now he shows his interest by being cocky and going for her like its nothing. The Confidence these people , all of them exude is disgusting. And the Corny ness. My wife pointed it out, it was embarrassing, she watches Greys Anatomy and crap like that.
SO they go to Venezuela, go to a bar to meet a contact and start a bar fight cause people remember them and shows how bad ass they are, do a chase , catch the contact, get the info i guess cause then they Park their big black Cadillac like car outside the super secret dark compound behind some light bushes and sit their with a computer and big binoculars. So this missing "journalist" aka spy is viral but the people in the old hospital building have no security outside. Mac sees a way in. A big huge steel plank over an elevator shaft. Finally he does something MacGyver and separates it with nickels, jumper cables and stuff. Real Macgyver would have pointed out the steel plate they lowered down probably weighs about close to half a ton and wouldn't have been that easy. so he climbs down the elevator shaft. Opens unsecured rusty and loud elevator doors and makes nighttime vision googles and has the power knocked out by their hot LIsa Bonet tech. Then he finds the imprisoned woman, who is unguarded, and knocks out some bad guys, finds the ones with flashlights a little troubling and they start finding their way out. But ut oh, one bad guy is spotted outside starting a generator by Jack. Shoot him? no. lights go on and Mac battles his way out til Jack drives his car through a brick wall, now that i think about it, at ground level, 4 floors up, where Mac just happens to be. Maybe i missed him going up stair cases.
So Jacks happy, this woman who he adores, who one time he almost got killed with but she got him to safety in time to go home and see his dad before he died is safe. So they do the next smart thing and go to her old apartment where she was kidnapped. I guess to look for the disks she had that incriminated the bad guys. They find the landlord tied to a chair, lightly beated i guess for TV sake and dead. I think they were trying to portray the brutality of the bad guys but i never saw the landlord alive and get to know him for sympathy , and he looked mildly bruised so i didn't get that feeling. they hear sirens, run away, the Lisa Bonet goes to a internet hub and rents 8 hours to send data to Phoenix foundation with creepy guys around. THen it turns out she was ratted out by a local guy looking at porn, bad guys with guns come but Peter Thorton lady shows up and shoots them cause she was warned while kick boxing what was happening.
So the Dalton Love interest tells him they have to get this bad guy who kidnapped her before he leaves the country or he'll do it again somewhere else. Daltons like "no way man" but shes like "i learned it by watching you" (80's reference old Mac fans right eh , eh). so they go to Vintage Mac mansion with gun man and ammo crates and all hell breaks loose, and they chase the bad guy on a bike, complete with stopping in front of downed tree in shape of ramp etc.
Then the weird thing happened, Commercials. First a Puff's commercial came on where poor "Dakota" has a runny nose. While i was brewing over that (sorry if your kids name is Dakota) a commercial comes on for, get this, Visit Peru. I was just watching a show, that showed what a corrupt crap hole Venezuela is, why would i want to go to somewhere possibly similar in the average Americans mind?
