Recap

MacGyver breaks into a toy factory to sneak into a semi and recover a hidden vial of bio-toxin from inside of a teddy bear. As he leaves, two men spot him and MacGyver is forced to flee over a fence. As the men go around, MacGyver finds himself in a dead-end alley. Only one door leads out, into the rear entrance of a bar, but one of the men intercepts MacGyver as he goes through. The other one arrives and draws his knife, but a biker comes out of the bar and slams him onto a wall, and then takes out the other man as he swings at MacGyver. MacGyver recognizes the man as Earl Dent, who explains that he's changed since the last time they met. Police sirens sound in the distance and Earl makes a hasty exit...

Episode Quotes
Earl Dent: I got a little nervous when I heard the sirens. I'm trying to stay out of trouble.
MacGyver: Yeah. How's it going?
Earl Dent: I'm clean.
MacGyver: That's good.
Earl Dent: Of course, I've only been out of the joint two days.

Pete: It's the Handle Bar. 3217 Oakdale. That's a biker hangout, isn't it?
MacGyver: Yeah, I think so.
Pete: Well, what are you going to do?
MacGyver: Hang out.

MacGyver: I need some noise so I can break that beaker.
Earl Dent: What kind of noise?
MacGyver: Uh, talk louder.
Earl Dent: What do we talk about?
Montana: Anything. I just need time to cut these ropes.
Earl Dent: Let Montana cut them. She has the fangs for it.

Montana: Do you want this job or not?
Earl Dent: Well, I think I might be overqualified for the job.
Montana: Overqualified of what? Making license plates?
Earl Dent: I can make a lot of numbers out of them and they're pretty darn good, too.
Montana: Oh, yeah, I bet the lowest one is your IQ.
