Original subtitles

(male narrator) In 1972, a crack commando unit...

was sent to prison by a military court...

for a crime they didn't commit.

These men promptly escaped...

from a maximum-security stockade...

to the Los Angeles underground.

Today, still wanted by the government...

they survive as soldiers of fortune.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help...

and if you can find them...

maybe you can hire the A-Team.

[gun firing]

[birds chirping]

(man) Phone call for Mr. Smith. Phone call for the Aquamaniac.

[people chattering]

Aquamaniac here.

Hannibal, Faceman here.

I hope I didn't catch you at a bad time, but I have to talk to you.

Bad time?

Did you ever try to hold your breath for four minutes?

Listen, I got some loose ends to take care of down here...

so I'm going to be tied up for a couple more days.

But B.A. and Murdock, they're driving up ahead of me.

I finish shooting here tomorrow.

Now that gives us time to go over our latest offer.

Yeah, well, see, I'm with some business associates. And you know how it goes.

Before they'll talk investments they want to see the sights.

They want to meet some girls.

I should be able to wrap it up in a couple of days.

Oh, by the way...

there's a little slippage from low to second gear on the Vette.

So would you take it easy when you accelerate?

The only thing wrong with that Vette

is that vibration that starts when you get it over 95.

Now, B.A. and Murdock have got quite a drive up here.

And you figure they're gonna have a good time?

I don't know. They've been getting along pretty good lately.

I have faith they'll get to LA in one piece.

With a little luck.

Luck is with us now.

My rabbit's foot gonna bring us luck all the way back to LA.

Rabbit had four of them. Didn't do him much good.

Just think about it.

I mean, look how good everything has been going up to now.

I mean, we've been driving two days now.

How many fights we had?

None. I mean here we are, just hanging out together...

good friends, in this van.

And what about your radiator? You yourself said:

"I should've have had that thing fixed in Baja."

That thing hasn't had a leak. Yeah, you're right.

We have been holding up pretty good.

Yeah. I tell you.

Luck is on our side now.

With my new rabbit's foot.

[car engine sputtering]

(Logan) Come on, get this thing going! It won't start!

Look here. You fill it up. I'm gonna get us some milk.

You get us some milk, I'll fill her up.

[Murdock laughing]

Right on, brother.

Hello, what's going on?

I can't remember having such a good time.

Fill her up, please.

You don't want to? Slide over and drive.

I'm warning you. You don't wanna take this van.

I mean, you really don't want this van! I said, you better move!

Well, let me put it this way. Taking this van is like taking...

downtown Tokyo away from Godzilla. Shut up and move!

[tires screeching]

Hey, Murdock! Where you going, fool?

[car engine sputtering]

[tires screeching]

[tires screeching]

[horn blaring]

[siren wailing]

There were four of them! They had a van and a four-door Chevy!

Where did you learn to drive like that?

I saw Cannonball Run five times.

Hold on, Murdock!

You turn up Junction 18.

And then you take DuPont Road.

Russell farm? We're going there now?

Hey, we're scoring big.

I wanna keep that kind of luck.

What about the wife and kid?

I feel like having some fun.

We got a car following us.

I'll back him off.

[gun firing]

You lose him or you're dead.

Well, you got it.

[tires squealing]

Freeze! One move and I'll blow you apart.

[female dispatcher chattering on radio]

I know-- I know what this looks like.

Two guns, two thugs, two law-abiding victims...

and very, very understanding officers.

Yeah? You're all under arrest for armed robbery.

I want a phone call, I want a lawyer, I want a cup of coffee.

I want this ink off my fingers.

It's under your fingernails, you can't get it out.

You have to turn over all your personal possessions.

Better make sure nothing happens to my gold.

Everything I own has to go into this.

(Bickford) Well...

looks like you two are going away for a long time.

Yeah, let me tell you something. Number one...

I'm initiating a $35 million lawsuit against this Sheriff's Department.

And secondly, nobody here offered us lunch.

Nobody had the common decency to ask us if we'd anything to eat in the last 24 hours.

Real wise guy. Cool it, Murdock.

B.A., we have our rights.

Now, I insist that you interrogate those two guys.

Get them to tell you the truth.

This guy here was chasing me because I was being held hostage in that van.

Really? I just got out with those two.

Logan and Malcolm are two wanted killers in two states.

I have a signed written confession.

They told me you two planned the whole thing.

And in addition to that, one of them said he didn't want to go along with it...

but the big guy there threatened him.

That's lies! That is 1,000 lies!

I mean, does he look like the kind of guy who would threaten somebody?

Let me rephrase that question.

Don't push me, Jack.

We in big trouble now. We in big trouble, guy.

[phone ringing]

By the time those bozos figure out that we didn't pull off that robbery...

your fingerprints are going to be in Washington.

And they're gonna figure out who you are.

We're gonna be dead men.

And I had my lucky rabbit's foot with me and everything.

You know, B.A., you didn't have to get in that car and chase that van.

I would've brought it back.

Man, how I know they wasn't gonna hurt you or shoot you or something?

Wait a minute. Are you telling me, that you got into that car...

and chased that van 'cause you were worried about me?

I was worried about my van. I knew it was too good to last.

You really care about me. You were really worried about me...

weren't you, you big guardian-type guy? I cared about my van!

(Murdock) Oh no, you didn't. I did, too.

Did not. I did.

[laughing] Did not. I did.

Okay, you two. We're taking you down to the work farm.

You got any phone calls, now is the time to make them.

Fingerprinted? Yeah.

I got that black ink all over my fingers, under my fingernails.

It's a killer to get off and I hate it.

It'll take me about two hours to get there.

Come on, you got to have a plan, Colonel.

I hope you have a plan, 'cause you got to get us out of this one.

When that computer sends B.A.'s fingerprints back, they'll know who he is.

I don't know how long it will take Decker to get there.

Now, I don't want anyone to talk to the prisoner.

And don't release him to anyone until I get there.

And thank you.

Captain Crane.

You are not gonna believe this. It had to happen.

Some small-town sheriff just arrested B.A. Baracus.

He put his prints out on the wire and just got a confirmation back.

I'll get a car and some men.

We'll be ready to leave in 10 minutes, sir.

Very good, Captain, very good.

[birds chirping]

All right. Out of the truck. Up to building B.

You know B.A., this might not be so bad.

I mean, we get three squares a day...

plenty of exercise, get that old pump going.

It might be real neat. We'd get to clear some weeds...

dig a few holes, maybe even a drainage ditch or two.

Okay, got a few things you fellows ought to hear.

I don't wanna spend too much time with you scum.

So I'm going to tell you the rules once and you better follow.

Wake up at 7:00 a.m.

Breakfast at 7:15.

Work car leaves 8:00, returns at 6:00.

Dinner at 7:00, lights out at 9:00.

You stay in line and everyone's happy.

Step out of line...

and I get real unhappy.

And that will make you real unhappy.

Got it? Excuse me, Sir.

For breakfast in the morning, I'll have my eggs poached, very, very soft.

And bacon, extra crispy, on the side...

and half a melon or guava.

Maybe I should show you what this stick can do to a fella's skull.

If you wanna stay alive, you better keep your mouth shut.

Or I'll nail it shut.

I owe you one.

If you try something, you better make sure I don't get up.

I hope the Colonel comes up with a plan in a hurry.

(Hannibal) Colonel Decker. United States Army.

Boy, you sure got here fast.

We didn't call your office more than an hour ago.

Military moves fast, Sheriff, when it comes to the A-Team.

We've been after this Baracus for a long time.

We haven't been able to come up with anything more...

on that crazy guy he was picked up with.

But boy, can you imagine it?

Catching one of the A-Team right here in Green County.

Outstanding, Sheriff.

I'd appreciate it if you'd turn over the arrest records...

and the fingerprints on both these men...

as well as any personal effects they might have.

The military would like to continue the investigation from here on.

Right.

Maynard, could you bring in all the personal effects of both prisoners?

Here's the paperwork that your office requested.

If you'll just sign this release, Colonel. Yes, sir.

The camp where we're holding them is about 10 miles from here.

Thank you very much, Sheriff. Thank you, Colonel.

[typewriter clacking]

Excuse me. Sheriff Bickford?

I'm Colonel Decker. United States Army.

I have the release papers for B.A. Baracus.

I gotta hand it to you, Face.

I found Decker's ID in the car trunk. It's perfect.

Ah, Hannibal, I was saving that as a surprise for your birthday.

[chuckling] Well, you can get me something else. Now, listen.

I'm almost at the camp, and I got the release papers.

We'll meet you in LA.

Okay, as soon as things come together down here, I'll catch the first flight out.

Take care, pal.

Ciao.

I promise that's the last phone call.

Can I get some water? Water?

Guys are real nice, you see?

You treat people with respect, they'll give it back to you.

You gotta talk to them the right way.

Thanks, squat face.

[metallic clanging]

You are dead meat.

Come on, Logan. Cool it, man. Patty's gonna be here, right?

Back off!

You.

Pick it up! This isn't working out the way I expected.

You got something to say?

What the hell's going on here?

Uh, pick broke.

You got termites here. Look at that there.

Ugly little fellows. They'll gnaw on anything if you give them a chance.

[horn honking]

Hey! (all) Hey!

What's wrong?

Now, if I knew what was wrong with my truck here...

I don't suppose I'd be standing here talking to you.

Now, would I?

Well, we can push it off on the side of the road.

I have a work gang of prisoners I got to watch out for here.

And I got a .38 special says otherwise.

[gun firing]

Now you tell them to drop their weapons.

All right. Put your guns on the ground. You, too.

Uh-uh, your left hand, nice and easy.

I knew you could do it.

Hey, Pedroza?

Nice, yes? [giggles]

Use them. Give it to him.

That's for the one I owe you. Let's go!

He's wounded pretty bad. We gotta get him to a hospital.

If we take him in, that means we give ourselves up.

Yeah, I know. But he's gonna die if we don't.

Okay, let's go.

(Murdock) Is this an emergency room or what?

I got a man, with holes in him!

Holes. Wounded man!

I see a lot of patients, but I don't see no doctors.

What happened to him? Gunshot wound. Lost a lot of blood.

Get him in to OR right away. Yeah.

This is Nurse Morgan, in Emergency.

Send security down here right away.

We have a wounded Deputy. He's hurt real bad.

Uh, we train dogs.

Special dog collars.

We better get out of here. Posthastily.

Wrong direction.

We'll catch you later, really.

This is a....

I know what it....

This has Hannibal Smith, written all over it! First he impersonates me.

Then he starts a prison break. Just hope that young deputy can help us.

They're inside the hospital.

Who? Two men, handcuffed together.

Two security guards chased them down the corridor, but they lost them.

A big black guy with a Mohawk?

Yeah, and another guy with him.

Baracus. And maybe Peck's with him.

Roy, secure all the exits.

I don't want anybody leaving this hospital without being cleared.

I'll take my men and work our way down from the top.

We'll start with the basement and work up.

B.A.? I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you I'm real sorry...

that they took your gold back in prison.

Oh, that's all right. If I don't get it back, I'll just have to kill you.

I got to make a call.

Outside line, Mobile Operator please.

Got to get these cuffs off.

You know, it's an actual documented fact...

that a coyote will chew his leg off...

to get out of a trap.

You got any coyote blood in you?

[cell phone ringing]

Yeah? Colonel, am I glad I got you.

B.A. and I are at the Green County Hospital.

You or B.A. hurt? (Murdock) No. We are fine.

There was a breakout and one of the guards was hit.

I know about that. I'm with Pedroza.

He told me some miniskirt with a .38 busted Deke Logan out.

Yeah, you got it.

But you gotta pony express it to a place called the Russell farm.

It's off Junction 18.

There's a woman living there with her kid. I overheard Logan say...

he was gonna have a good time making life pretty miserable for them.

Understood. I'm on my way.

This place is going to be crawling with Decker bugs in a minute.

B.A. and I'll find a way out of here. Then we'll meet you there.

Okay, take care.

Go, move.

Deputy, can you help me get this big guy in the back of the truck here?

The ambulance.

Thanks.

God bless you, sir.

[tires screeching]

[siren wailing]

[people chattering]

*[country music playing]

I'm sure glad you guys got here.

No problem, Deke.

What did you say about having a bag of money stashed somewhere?

That's right.

From a bank job Malcolm and I did over four years ago.

Got it hidden on the Russell farm.

Almost $100,000 in cash.

[chuckling]

Kyle likes that. You like that, don't you, Kyle?

I thought you would.

Now, honey, I thought we were heading straight out of state?

You didn't say nothing about no Russell farm.

I don't tell you everything.

But they got my money, and I'm gonna get it.

We got half the state looking for us. So what?

That's suicide. I'm not going to let you do it.

Nobody tells me what I can and what I can't do.

Well, I'm not going. What did you say?

I said I'm not going. Leaving me?

Nobody leaves me.

Deke, come on. For God's sake, Deke.

You shut your mouth.

And you keep that mouth of yours shut.

[birds chirping]

Son, is this the Russell place?

Hold it right there, mister.

You're one dead man.

My name is Hannibal Smith. I've come to help you.

Toby, come here.

How do I know that?

I heard on the radio there was a prison break not far from here.

There's a reward for the escaped prisoners.

Well, I'm not one of them. You got a big problem coming here, lady.

His name is Deke Logan.

Now. come on. We'll get your stuff together.

[hens clucking]

Operator? Give me the Sheriff.

Operator?

Line's dead.

They must have cut it at the junction at the road. Now let's get out of here.

But how do I know you're not working with Logan?

If I was working with Logan, you'd be dead.

Now, lady, they already cut your phone line, they're gonna be here any minute.

Let's go.

Ma, there's a car coming down the road.

Have you got any other weapons?

No. I'm sorry, that's it.

Lock all doors and windows. And see if you can find some hose.

I think there's some in the basement.

(Hannibal) That's close enough, Logan.

[gun firing]

[guns firing]

[gun firing]

Stay down!

Here's the hose. What's it for?

It's a little backup when we run out of ammunition.

Now, I need a pair of pliers.

In the drawer.

[guns continue firing]

Take him to the basement and tell him to be quiet.

I can't believe that we're fugitives from a chain gang.

Manacled together, partners in a desperate bid for freedom.

Two men alone against the odds.

And 100 men out to get us with orders: "Shoot to kill."

Oh man, just shut up and concentrate on the road.

I don't wanna hear about how many men are chasing us.

You're nervous.

You know why?

You're just like most modern men.

You are afraid to lose control. That's why you can't fly.

You can't be a passenger, you must have control.

Control, control-- Shut up.

You know, B.A., you could go a little slower. A man could get windburn out here.

Oh man, just shut up and hold on.

Uh-oh, we're in trouble. What's the matter?

Oil's leaking. Must have a cracked oil pan.

Boy, you really do know about cars, don't you?

[both coughing]

Man, that 's the longest dipstick I ever did see.

Ain't any use looking at it, fool, the engine's gone. Forget it.

Oh boy, just great.

What else could go wrong, big guy?

(man) This is Central Control.

We have a report of a stolen ambulance seen heading east on Mill Basin Road.

(Decker) This is Colonel Decker, Military Police.

We're turning onto Mill Basin Road headed east.

We'll try to overtake the fleeing fugitives.

Man, we gotta get out of here. Won't take them long to get up here.

We gotta.... We gotta think of something fast.

I got it.

Looks like something parked off the side of the road just up ahead.

I think it's the ambulance, Colonel.

You men check the brush.

[birds chirping]

Smells like they cooked this engine.

Colonel, we found footprints leading away from the ambulance...

into the ravine over there.

Well, well, if Baracus and that other prisoner he's handcuffed to...

are crazy enough to think that they can make it out of here on foot...

they won't get very far.

We'll take the car, use the back road and head them off.

Let's move out, men!

Hey, man, it's not gonna take Decker long to find out we laid down a false trail.

We gotta get out of here and catch up with Hannibal.

[guns firing]

That's all we got left, sorry.

We sure haven't got enough firepower to hold them off.

Would you mind telling me why our friends out there are so anxious to come inside?

Logan and my husband were partners.

They robbed the Franklinville Bank together. Police never found the money.

Logan must think it's here.

Is it? No. I don't know where it is.

That's it for the shotgun.

Where's your husband? He's dead.

I don't think we can hold them off much longer.

Well, I got some friends coming.

Let's just hope that they get here fast.

The wind's starting to howl and kick up.

It gives me an idea.

Let's get back to the ambulance.

I gotta get in there.

Cover me.

[flames roaring]

[rifle firing]

Sounded like a dumb idea.

But I gotta hand it to you, Murdock, it works.

Pioneers used to do it all the time with them covered wagons.

They called them prairie schooners.

You see, what you do is you take the wind factor...

the humidity level, and the temperature...

and you divide that by the square footage of your sail...

then you multiply that by the weight of your vehicle.

[in pioneer accent] And then you just hope and pray

that that wind keeps blowing, Hoppy.

So, according to this map we only have a couple more miles to go.

I sure hope we get there in time.

Heidi-heidi-ho!

Yes, sir.

Okay, follow behind.

Come on.

[guns continue firing]

Lose it.

[drops hose]

So, you're Deke Logan?

Yeah, that's right.

Now, you wanna tell me your name?

No.

[chuckles]

After I get through with my business here...

you and me are gonna have a little talk.

Now, are you gonna tell me where the money is...

or do I have to feed you to the hogs?

[all imitating hogs grunting]

(Patty) Hello? I wanna speak to the Sheriff.

Sheriff? If you're looking for Deke Logan...

I can help you. I know where he is.

Sam never showed up with any of the money after that bank robbery.

I don't know what he did with it.

(Logan) We took $100,000 from that bank.

And you're telling me that he showed up here empty-handed?

I'm not lying.

There's no money. I'm telling you the truth!

I don't believe you, miss.

If you wanna know where it is, I can show you.

You know where the money is?

Yeah, it's buried in that field out behind that shed.

Sam called me about a week before he died, told me where it was.

Said he was afraid if he told Callie, she'd give it back.

And you were gonna dig it up and keep it all for yourself.

You bet.

Get a shovel.

Watch the back road and see nobody comes.

We'll stay here.

Come over here, we gotta get these bracelets off.

Over here. No, man, this way. I see a toolbox.

[both grunting]

This should do it.

What you gonna do? What do you need?

Oh, Lord be praised.

Colonel is gonna need all the support we can give. Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Yeah.

Okay, where is it?

It's 13 paces off the corner of this shed.

Count them.

Right there.

All right.

Start digging.

What an ugly-looking scarecrow.

Malcolm.

Save that ammo.

Hey man, he's gone down pretty far. Where the hell is it?

There's no money in there. We would've found it already.

Oh no, Russell said he buried it deep. We'll come to it right away.

Well, we've come to the end of the road, pal.

You just dug yourself a grave.

No, this is too short for me.

[explosion sounds]

And you call me ugly, turtle nose.

Not bad, Murdock. For a straw man.

Have you ever hired yourself out, Mr. Smith?

I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who could use your help.

Well, we ought to think about that. Eh, guys?

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, Callie, you got yourself a nice reward for catching Logan and the others.

I expect there's a reward for the A-Team, too.

Help me find them. They saved our lives, Sheriff.

If it wasn't for them...

Toby and I wouldn't be standing here talking to you right now.

I can't give you any help with that.

I can appreciate that, Callie.

They got to be in this area somewhere. Let's go.

[female dispatcher chattering on radio]

(Hannibal) When we cross that state line, we're safe from the Sheriff.

And I don't see a sign of Decker.

Stop moving around, Murdock, and get your elbow out of my side.

I wouldn't worry about Decker, Colonel.

I got my lucky rabbit's foot with us.

This little baby's gonna take care of us.

I wouldn't worry about nothing.

Hey, that thing ain't brought us nothing but bad luck.

Give it here. No.

Okay, I mean, I will admit that...

running into Deke Logan, being thrown on a chain gang...

Decker, the prison escape, it could be construed as a streak of bad luck.

But I dismiss all that now because this baby has recharged its batteries.

And I guarantee you, big brother...

it's gonna take care of us all the way back to LA.
