Recap

A shadowy figure with a death's head ring arrives in a darkened warehouse: Murdoc. A woman tells him to remove his weapons and go through a metal detector. It reveals he has plenty of other weapons and Murdoc discards a variety of guns, handcuffs, brass knuckles, knives, and grenades. He walks back through the metal detector and three members of the board of Homicide International Trust reveal themselves. They call the meeting to order and welcome Murdoc back. He notes they tried to kill him the last time and they admit they were worried he would compromise HIT's operations. Now Murdoc wants to rejoin them. They note that they can't tolerate failure and he has failed to kill MacGyver repeatedly. Murdoc admits that Murdoc helped rescue his sister and saved his life, and he owes a debt of honor. When the board notes that there is no honor in their business, Murdoc concedes the point and agrees to kill MacGyver. When the board suggests that MacGyver might be too formidable, Murdoc notes that his opponent fights fair. He then produces a plastic knife and throws it at the board, just missing them...

Episode Quotes
Man #1: Perhaps MacGyver's too formidable, even for you.
Murdoc: MacGyver is terribly clever, but then, so am I. You see, I do have one very definite advantage over him. He fights fair. (throws a hidden knife) I cheat.

Murdoc: What's the matter, MacGyver? You don't look happy to see me.
MacGyver: Yeah, go figure.

Murdoc: The death of MacGyver: Scene 1... Action!

Murdoc: "Better death through chemistry," that's what I always say.

Murdoc: So long, MacGyver. Rest in pieces.

MacGyver: For all I know, your dad could have sent me.
Amy Walker: Oh, no way. The guys he sends are flashy. You know, suits, haircuts. Not like you.
MacGyver: Thanks. I think.

(impersonating MacGyver)
Murdoc: Definitely Murdoc's work. I could fix it if I only had some duct tape.

Sheriff: We've looked all over the bottom of that shaft. You sure this fellow Murdoc fell in?
MacGyver: Let me guess. No body, right?
Sheriff: We'll keep lookin'. He's got to be down there. No way a fella could have survived a fall like that.
MacGyver: You don't know Murdoc.

MacGyverisms:
* Flattened shot from a shotgun shell, melted with the gunpowder. The shotgun, opened to load and forming a V, placed over a wire trigger. Finally, using the flattened shot to weld the wires to either side of the shotgun to keep the wire on either side in place while cutting the wire in the middle to crawl through the gap.
