->'''Mac:''' So, we're supposed to get El Noche to do what? Tell us where his secret hideout is?\\
'''Thornton:''' Actually, I was thinking that he could show us, after we help him escape from prison. Once he's out, like a wasp, he'll fly back home to his nest, and he'll lead us right back to his stronghold. Then we take him and his lieutenants down, and end the Merida reign of terror once and for all. \\
'''Jack:''' Yeah, that's one of the craziest plans I've ever heard and I love it.

[=MacGyver=] goes undercover in a maximum security prison. His mission is to befriend a cartel boss, El Noche, and stage a jailbreak to find the cartel's HQ. But when Mac is made during the breakout and taken prisoner, Phoenix must race to find him.
!!Tropes:
* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: Mac is tortured by being made to inhale pure nitrogen gas, which is compared to waterboarding. However, it's too much carbon dioxide that causes discomfort; inhaling nitrogen gas would only make him feel lightheaded before he passed out and died from lack of oxygen. It's not clear why this decision was made as the show has depicted at least semi-realistic torture methods elsewhere.
* ArtisticLicensePrison: Mac has to befriend a cartel boss in supermax and escape with him in order to find his HQ. The method he uses wouldn't work as it involves things like light fittings that wouldn't be in supermax and areas that prisoners wouldn't have access to. This is presumably because the showrunners didn't want to show an escape method that would work, or couldn't think of one.
* BadassInDistress: Mac is abducted by a cartel, tied to a chair and tortured before being rescued by a SWAT team led by Jack.
* PunkInTheTrunk: Mac is taken prisoner by the cartel and transported to the cartel's HQ in Mexico in this manner. He uses the situation to his advantage by tapping wires together to make the rear lights flash Morse code. It's a slim hope, but thankfully the message somehow gets back to Phoenix, who track the car to its destination.
* ShoutOut: Mac uses the alias Frank Morris, a real person who was played by Creator/ClintEastwood in ''Film/EscapeFromAlcatraz''.
* SpottingTheThread: El Noche makes Mac as an agent when he avoids killing a guard during the escape.
