MacGyver season 3 episode 15, titled "The Negotiator," follows our titular hero Angus MacGyver as he tries to save a group of hostages taken by a group of criminals. MacGyver is called in to help after the FBI and local authorities are unable to successfully negotiate with the hostage-takers, who are demanding a large sum of money in exchange for the hostages' release.
As always, MacGyver approaches the situation with his signature resourcefulness and ingenuity. He quickly realizes that the hostage-takers have a particularly interesting weakness: they're all heavily invested in a fantasy football league. MacGyver devises a plan to use this weakness to his advantage, manipulating the league in a way that gives the criminals an incentive to release the hostages without receiving the ransom they so desperately crave.
But things don't go as smoothly as MacGyver would hope. The lead hostage-taker, a particularly ruthless man named Frank Colton, quickly catches on to MacGyver's game and becomes even more belligerent towards the hostages. Meanwhile, Jack Dalton and Riley Davis work together behind the scenes to track down the location of the hostages, and Bozer finds himself in a risky situation as he tries to deliver a vital piece of equipment to MacGyver.
"The Negotiator" is a high-stakes episode of MacGyver that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. With plenty of action, suspense and clever twists, MacGyver and his team of heroes will have to use all of their skills and experience to save the hostages and stop the criminals before it's too late.
