Recap

Otto Romburg, a toy store owner, is working on his battlefield dioramas when MacGyver calls him from the former Stasi headquarters in East Berlin. He tells Otto that he's found a file on Maria, Otto's long-lost granddaughter. Otto is unaware that someone is watching the shop using advanced surveillance equipment and armed with a crossbow. After hanging up, Otto looks at a doll and remembers crossing the border with his daughter Maria, only for the guards to kill her father and capture her while he escapes with her doll...

Episode Quotes
Weise: Look at you! Your jeans, and bows and arrows. I don't know you any more. Just ten years in this country and you're more American than German.
Kurt: Don't knock it until you try it.

Maria Romburg: You're the only American I know, MacGyver... and I think maybe the only one I want to know.
