Recap
MacGyver and Pete are participating in a stakeout with the police, watching a crack house. A prostitute arrives and they wait for word from Murphy, the cop in charge. The prostitute leaves and they call in MacGyver, who goes around to the side of the house and meets with another cop, Sweeney. He sets up a series of advanced explosive charges on the gate covering door but one of them fails to activate. MacGyver and Sweeney break the gate down and another cop, Copper, breaks down the door with a battering ram. Sweeney stops one dealer while the other locks himself in the bathroom to flush the dope down the toilet. MacGyver and Cooper break in and capture the man, but they lose the dope. Fortunately, Murphy put another cop, Wyatt, beneath the toilet to grab the evidence. One more dealer tries to destroy more crack in the garbage disposal but Murphy arrives and shoots out the disposal before the evidence is destroyed...Read the full recap

MacGyver: He's making the buy.

Lieutenant Kate Murphy: Listen to me, MacGriever...
MacGyver: It's MacGyver.
Lieutenant Kate Murphy: Whatever. You just don't get it. What we are doing here is police work. Now, sometimes the public—civilians like yourself—just don't understand what it takes to get the job done.
MacGyver: We don't, huh?
Lieutenant Kate Murphy: No, you don't. Now, I've heard you hate guns, abhor violence, and I'm sure my tank is very chilling to your... sense of justice and fair play. But we do live in the real world here. Guns and tanks and nasty crooks are all just a part of the big picture.

Dr. Zito: I think you'll find Mr. Cross to have anticipated most everything.
MacGyver: That so?
Dr. Zito: He's quite an unusual man, you see. It will be very difficult to stop him. To solve his deadly riddle, so to speak. His cunning is so complex, you have to be intellectually superior, exceptionally persistent, and possess an abundance of ingenuity to even get close to him. Are you all of these things, Mr. MacGyver? Yes, I know your name. Does that frighten you?
MacGyver: Should it?

Dr. Zito: Back again, Mr. MacGyver?
MacGyver: You're good.
Dr. Zito: Yes, I know.
MacGyver: You're good.
Dr. Zito: Yes, I know.
Dr. Zito: My, my, my, my, my. It's all so brilliant, isn't it?
MacGyver: Thought you might say that.
MacGyver: Thought you might say that.
MacGyver: You helped Eric Cross escape.
Dr. Zito: So. Now what? They could have them take away my library card?
Dr. Zito: So. Now what? They could have them take away my library card?
MacGyver: See the question is, why would you help somebody escape?
Dr. Zito: I could have dozens of reasons. Humanity, for one. Did you think of that?
MacGyver: Humanity? No, I don't think that's the reason.
Dr. Zito: Oh? What makes you so sure?
MacGyver: I've seen your file. You are a self-centered egotistical psychopath who has to have control of everything.
Dr. Zito: Umm. Aren't we perceptive?
Dr. Zito: I could have dozens of reasons. Humanity, for one. Did you think of that?
