Summary[]
Magnum is called up from the reserves for a top secret mission, but his friends are stunned when they learn that the mission is a lie and Magnum has been set up.
Magnum's former C.O., Captain Buck Greene (James Remar), calls him up from the reserves to tackle a secret mission in the "triple frontier" area of South America. Magnum wants to bring T.C. and Rick along to help, but Greene tells him a team has already been selected. When he arrives, Magnum soon realizes Greene lied and he is on a suicide mission. The ringleader, an arms dealer named Gene (Peter Facinelli), is revealed to be the mysterious Ivan, the man who sent mercenaries to Robin's Nest in search of the "White Knight" (ep. 2.3). Greene's confession has Higgins worried that something is amiss, so she arranges a rescue with help from T.C., Rick, Shammy and Katsumoto. While Magnum is rescued, Ivan escapes.
