Episode Quotes
MacGyver: Ah, Siberia. Not known for its tourist trade or over-population. That's exactly why it's such a popular place for political prisoners. And nuclear facilities.

Yuri Demetri: You can't get me through the gates without paper. They'll stop us. They'll shoot!
MacGyver: Who said anything about going through?

MacGyver: Penny, do you have any relatives or friends?
Penny Parker: I have you.

Penny Parker: I'm an actress; it's my job to study people.

Yuri Demetri: As Patrick Henry once said, "Give me liberty or give me death."
Lyle: I vote for death.

Penny Parker: I promise I'm not going to talk!
Lyle: Sweetheart, you do nothin' but talk!

MacGyverisms:
* A flare tossed on top of a van to follow it from a distance without being seen
* Magnesium alloy from a wheelchair wheel, put inside an iron pipe and rags used as wadding, to heat the pipe and pop a padlock open
