Magnum is in danger when his reserve duty assignment turns out to be a trap set by the mysterious Ivan.

!!Tropes:

* ArtisticLicenceGeography: The Triple Frontera is a real place between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. However, it's a tourist spot, not quite the WretchedHive it's portrayed as in the episode. It's also not a mountainous region.
* ArtisticLicenceMilitary: One of Magnum's medals is the Army Commendation Medal. Although a Navy man could earn this, he would not place it above the Navy Commendation Magnum also has.
* BigDamnHeroes: Higgins, Rick, T.C. and Katsumoto rescue Magnum from Ivan again, this time by travelling to the Triple Frontera to find him.
-->'''Magnum:''' What the hell you doing here?\\
'''Higgins:''' Saving your life. [''{{Beat}}''] [[UngratefulBastard You're welcome.]]
* BloodySmile: Magnum is captured by [[BigBad Ivan]] and beaten for the location of an [=FBI=] informant. He (lying) describes how the informant was blown up earlier by a drone and flashes a bloody grin. Ivan, who was flying the drone, isn't fooled and tells TheDragon to keep going.
-->'''Ivan:''' Wipe that smile off his face.
* CallBack: Ivan, the GreaterScopeVillain from "[[Recap/MagnumPI2018S02E03KnightLastsForever Knight Lasts Forever]]", appears. The gang finally find out what he wanted with Magnum; he's after an [=FBI=] informant, and thinks Magnum knows where he is based on events in one of Robin's novels.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Gene Curtis, the mild-mannered drone pilot, is in fact BigBad Ivan. He's much less pleasant after his cover's blown.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: When Magnum is recaptured, Ivan has him beaten for the informant's location.
* ShoutOut: The child Katsumoto asks for help finding Magnum speaks English from watching ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'' and ''Series/MurderSheWrote''. This is a ShoutOut to the original series, which made {{Crossover}} episodes with those shows. Later, Katsumoto thanks the kid for his help by sending him [=DVDs=] of ''Series/WalkerTExasRanger''.
