Recap

MacGyver meets at a warehouse the docks with Anthony Braddock, a chemist and former member of British Intelligence who once helped MacGyver out of a tight spot. Now Braddock needs help and wants MacGyver to come alone. Outside, three terrorists on Braddock's trail pull up in an RV. Their leader, Lancer, sends his man Jules in to find Braddock. Braddock informs MacGyver that he's been on the run because Lancer hired him to prepare an explosive. Meanwhile, Jules reports back to Lancer and his assistant, Tara, that Braddock is meeting with MacGyver. Lancer and Jules go in as Braddock explains that he created a stable explosive that can be weaved like cloth. He discovered that Lancer plans to use it to assassinate high-ranked officials in the U.S.'s anti-terrorist brigade, Omega Force. Braddock explains that the assassination will take place at a funeral tomorrow at 4 p.m., but has no idea how Lancer will disguise the explosive...

Episode Quotes
MacGyver: Pete Thornton wanted to come. It wasn't easy keeping him away.
Anthony Braddock: Peter. Yes. He always disapproved of me. A keen judge of character.

Carol Varnay: What is it?
MacGyver: I don't know. Everything I'm remembering is filled with explosions and gunfights. And I'm right in the middle of ‘em.

Pete: His name is MacGyver. He can fix anything. He could fix a computer with a hairpin and a piece of duct tape.

Pete: Right now, I know you better than you know yourself. You don't use guns. That gun doesn't feel right in your hand. It can't. You don't use guns, MacGyver. You hate them.
