The episode concludes with a classic A-Team ruse where Hannibal tricks Decker into destroying a guest house using a stereo system and war sound effects. As the dust settles, Murdock immediately returns to his comedy routines, quipping "Book 'em, Danno!" in a nod to Hawaii Five-O . This rapid return to "insanity" is not a sign of instability, but of recovery. For Murdock, being "mad" is his way of being at peace; however, " Say It with Bullets " proves that his loyalty to the team is the only thing more powerful than his need for the mask.
