UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Episode 4-19 [083]
15 May 1989
A beautiful woman just released from prison returns to kill MacGyver. He, Jack, and Pete are unsuccessfully panning for gold in Eureka River, and Pete abandons the effort to go trout fishing. They hear gun shots, and MacGyver remarks that it's a game preserve and hunting isn't permitted. They wonder if it could be one of Pete's enemies, maybe Weber or Murdoc. MacGyver tells Jack to go for help, but the woman takes him at gunpoint when he gets back to the jeep. MacGyver proceeds towards Whistler's Cliff, comes upon the empty jeep, and finds a note from Deborah. Pete and Jack are bound and gagged near the cliff. Deborah threatens to kill them, forcing MacGyver to step out into the clearing in plain view. She says that he caused her to make the first mistake in her career. Suddenly Pete kicks a rock at her, which distracts her, and MacGyver knocks the gun from her hand. Rushing to get it she trips at the edge of the cliff. MacGyver tries to save her, but she cuts him with her knife. He loses hold of her, and she falls to her death.
Pete: ...The turtle didn't think he had anything to fear, so he said, 'Alright, I'll give you a ride.' When they were about halfway across the river, the scorpion stung the turtle anyway. Just as they were going under, the turtle turned to the scorpion and said, 'Why did you do that? Now we're both going to die.' You know what the scorpion's answer was? 'Because it's my nature.'
Jack: Good story, Pete.
MacGyver: Yeah.
