~Private Jet~

*Mako, Miyabi, and Gregory arrive*

Gregory: *Glances at them* ... *To himself* And so, we meet.

Honami: How did the meeting go?

Miyabi: Zheng didn't show up.

Ryūji: *Notices Gregory* And who's this stranger?

Mako: Gregory Thornton. He's a representative of Zheng.

Gregory: We made a deal. I see the horns and a partner of mine will show up with the money.

Honami: Which is provided by Zheng?

Gregory: Yes, ma'am.

Honami: ... *Sighs* Very well. Akane, Nazuna, hold down the fort! Come on, guys.

*They hop in and the van drives away*

~Victoria Flood Barrier~

*The team arrives*

Francine: I'll stay here at the truck to radio my rangers.

Jeremy: Okay. We're gonna look around. *He and the others do so*

*They find a good lookout spot*

SpongeBob: Looks like we beat B-Platoon here.

Hilda: *Pulls out some binoculars and looks around* No one's here so far. *Spots something* Except for that boat. It has to be holding the horns. *Notices someone* Huh?! What's he doing here?!

Steven: Who?

Hilda: *Passes the binoculars*

Steven: *Looks through them* Oh, god. It's B-Platoon's supplier.

Jeremy: What about him?

Steven: It's the head of the Kambezi Defense Force.

Everyone: *!*

Kara: You mean, General Seko?

Steven: *Spots someone familiar* Oh, it gets worse. *Passes the binoculars to Frida*

Frida: *Looks through them* Hey, isn't that soldier one of the guys who tried to hang Gregory back at the refinery?

Steven: It is. Which means he knows him.

Frida: And if he sees Gregory...

Victor: Gregory's a goner. Oh, boy.

David: So, what should we do? How are we going to prevent this?

Lewis: Simple. All we have to do is get down there before Gregory and B-Platoon do.

Maya: Sounds simple enough. If we can get to the bridge, we should be able to set up a trap.

Louise: But how do we get down there? I mean, without them spotting us?

Jeremy: *Looks around* ... Think like MacGyver. Think like MacGyver. Think like MacGyver. Think like- *Spots a gutter* ... *Smirks* Shingle bolt flume.

Hilda: *?* Shingle... what?

Jeremy: Follow me and I'll tell you! *Leads the way*

~Gutter~

Jeremy: *He and the others arrive* Okay. Here we are.

Louise: ... *Examines the gutter... and realizes* Don't tell me we're really gonna slide down this thing!

Jeremy: We are.

Frida: Oh, no.

Hilda: Oh, yes!

David: Of course, you'd say that.
