Quotes 

• 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.

• 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] 

• 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?
