- They say forgiveness is the best form of revenge. But in this case, the only payback is that woman rotting in jail for the rest of her life.—T.C.
When Thomas is abducted, the trail leads back to his ex-girlfriend, an ex-CIA agent and fugitive named Hannah.
Tropes:
- Actor Allusion: Jordana Brewster also appeared as an agent with uncertain allegiance and a romantic connection to the hero in Chuck.
- Badass in Distress: Magnum is abducted. However, by the time the others know he's in danger, he's already managed to escape.
- Call-Back: Hannah is after the gold Nuzo was killed over in "I Saw The Sun Rise". Hannah is also the cause of Magnum's broken heart, mentioned in that episode.Higgins: This Hannah is the woman you were going to marry? Lara told me there was someone, but that's all she told me.
Magnum: Hannah was a CIA case officer. She was embedded with me and the guys in Afghanistan. She would use her assets and analysis to locate high-value targets that we'd then go after.
Higgins: And things got personal between you. But how did she end up a fugitive?
Magnum: Doesn't matter. - Dark and Troubled Past: The source of Magnum's broken heart is revealed to be Hannah, who betrayed him and his friends' location to by the Taliban, leading to their capture and imprisonment.Magnum: It should have never happened. We were on an op doing recon on a possible target in the Hindu Kush, and... we got captured during exfil. For me, the worst part about being held was fearing that I'd never see Hannah again.
[Flashback in which an imprisoned Magnum witnesses Hannah meet with his captors and receive an envelope]
Magnum: I couldn't believe it. I figured she'd come to negotiate our release, but... that wasn't why she was there. We thought it was just dumb luck that we were captured, but in that moment I realized... it wasn't. Hannah was one of very few people who knew the details of the mission. Where we would be.
Higgins: You think she gave you up?
Magnum: Yeah.
Higgins: Why would she do that?
Magnum: I've been asking myself that same question since the day she drove away. - Gender Flip: Lieutenant "Mac" MacReynolds, Magnum's Naval Intelligence contact, is a woman in this version.
- Not Me This Time: Hannah insists she had nothing to do with Nuzo's death.Magnum: Nuzo was killed because of that gold.
Hannah: I know. I had nothing to do with that. I know you don't believe me, Thomas, but it's the truth.
