Murder: Stabbing
Terry O’Quinn guest stars
The greatest Matlock episode of all-time guest starring Terry O’Quinn as Malcolm Engle, cocky philanthropist murderer extraordinaire. Engle invites Matlock over for dinner, taunts him and challenges him to solve a murder that he hasn’t committed yet. In The Dare, the murder victim is Matlock’s old acquaintance, Lieutenant Bob Brooks (David Froman) so the case is personal. So personal that our murderer’s vengeance is fueled by an old case in which Matlock got the defendant a successful insanity plea – the victim in that murder was Engle’s son.
