NARRATOR: In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a miIitary court...
for a crime they didn't commit.
These men promptIy escaped from a maximum-security stockade...
to the Los AngeIes underground.
Today, stiII wanted by the government, they survive as soIdiers of fortune.
If you have a probIem, if no one eIse can heIp...
and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.
[Theme music]
[Crickets chirping]
RAMON: This wiII be our finaI contact, Mr. TeasdaIe.
If you want to see your daughter aIive...
the price is $500,000 in smaII unmarked biIIs.
Put the money in the briefcase we've suppIied you.
Here's the new part.:
Find an independent cabdriver who might want to make a few extra doIIars.
SuppIied by you, of course.
TeII him to take interstate 12 to Farm Canyon turn off.
Then he takes Farm Canyon Road north about 12 miIes into the hiIIs.
He'II come to a crossroads that meets Princeton Street.
He shouId drive exactIy 2 miIes...
past that crossroads and park on the shouIder.
Now, as soon as we verify...
that you haven't been stupid enough to set a trap for us...
we'II Iet the cabdriver go and we'II bring you information...
on how to find your daughter. But we're warning you.:
We know you don't Iike the IittIe peopIe teIIing you what to do...
onIy this time, take it. Don't hire anybody.
No cops, no Army, no FBI. Nothing.
Because there is no one anywhere...
who can heIp your daughter if you don't do exactIy what we say.
AbsoIuteIy no one.
[Slow instrumental music]
[Tense instrumental music]
[Hannibal groaning]
HANNlBAL: Hey, take it light.
-You're a stinking cop. -Are you kidding?
l've been hit three times in the last two months.
I get a $20 tip and a suitcase...
l'm told to deliver in the middle of nowhere...
up your Khyber Pass.
Do you think I'd traveI with a prayer?
-lt's all in here? -l guess so.
lt's locked.
TONY: How do you know? HANNlBAL: l looked, didn't l?
Only, l'm a cabdriver, not Joan of Arc.
Spread eagle it. You stay right there.
You think you got a title?
[Hannibal groans]
l'll be back in two minutes.
l can see you from where l'll be.
So if you scratch your ear, you'll lose it. Along with the rest of your head.
-Right? -Right.
Wrong.
[Upbeat instrumental music]
Take it easy, it's Tony.
[All laughing]
l love it.
TONY: l can't believe it. They actually did it. $500,000. Just like we asked.
-Of course they did. -What about the cabbie?
He was carrying this. He says he just uses it for protection.
He's been robbed on the job.
Lucky for us, he was so cautious.
lt would have made me very unhappy...
for a thief to have robbed him of our ransom before he was able to deliver it to us.
-Get rid of him. -Right.
And hurry.
Nice toy, huh?
[Electronic beeping]
FACE: The transmitting device in the gun has been activated.
l see Hannibal got the homing device planted.
Now, all we got to do is follow the bouncing ball.
ln the past, it's always worried me when he said it...
but this is one time he was right.
This job is gonna be a piece of cake.
[Laughing disbelievingly]
ls everything all right? Can l go now?
[Gunshot firing]
Hannibal!
[Moaning]
-l guess that bulletproof vest did work. -Where could Hannibal be?
-He placed the homer. Where could he.... -You don't think....
Why does he do this to me?
[Sighing]
Hey, my friends, not a bad start for the GLA, huh?
What do you say, Tony?
There you go.
Just ahead, B.A.
You better sIow down or we're gonna wind up in their trunk.
All Hannibal had to do was plant the homer and take a slug in the vest.
Why would he change the plan all of a sudden?
l don't know if he did change it or if he just didn't tell us in the first place.
l knew he was on the jazz all the time. Man, l just knew it.
The Colonel really bends my mind out of shape, you know?
lf your mind was bent out of shape, it'd be straight, fool.
Slow down B.A.
We're catching them in an awful hurry here or they must have stopped.
RAMON: Take over for Kathryn on watch and tell her l want to see her.
Tony, you take the south cliff and cover it, all right?
Just a minute.
You wasted him. lt's yours.
FACE: Hannibal expects us to take out the perimeter guards...
and rendezvous in 10 minutes.
[Suspenseful instrumental music]
[Screaming]
[Face screaming]
-B.A.! -Hey, sucker.
Over here!
[Both screaming]
No smoking.
-So how did it go? -The way it was supposed to.
Ramon wants to see you. l guess he wants to fill you in personally.
How's our little girl doing?
Fine, till a few minutes ago. Marcus showed up with her breakfast.
-Hasn't come out yet. -No kidding.
You're a real pig. You know that, Strickland?
You're a real snow cone for such a hot mama.
Don't you even dream about it.
JENNlFER: Leave me alone. Don't touch me!
Get away from me!
STRlCKLAND: Marcus, at least keep her quiet.
[Suspenseful instrumental music]
lt's hazardous for your health.
[Dramatic instrumental music]
HANNlBAL: Come on. JENNlFER: Let go of me!
Look, lady. l know what you've been through.
HANNlBAL: But l don't have time to explain. JENNlFER: Stay away from me!
[Jennifer screaming]
My friends and l have come here to rescue you.
Do you want me to push? Then come along quietly.
HANNlBAL: Don't make this harder than it is.
[B.A. groaning]
B.A., we'll pick you up on the way back.
[Both laughing]
This should buy plenty of munitions for our next cause.
Yeah, and leave plenty over for a long vacation in Rio.
HANNlBAL: Hold it right there.
l mean, hold it. Put your arms around each other.
l'm very fond of lovers' embraces.
l'm sorry to interrupt the celebration, but this money was just on loan.
RAMON: Who are you? HANNlBAL: Friends of Mr. Teasdale...
sent to retrieve his daughter and return the money.
HANNlBAL: Now, l'd like to stay and chat, but that's the kind of foolishness....
[Fast-paced instrumental music]
JENNlFER: Let go of me! HANNlBAL: l see you ran into my friends.
Miss Teasdale, they're with me. Good night, Miss Teasdale.
Piece of cake, huh?
[Gunshot firing]
[Alarm beeping]
[Fast-paced instrumental music continues]
-What's the static from here? -Shouldn't be any, Colonel.
MURDOCK: We took care of the perimeter guard.
How's B.A.?
Murdock, give me a hand. Get her up. Face, give me some cover.
Now!
[Gunshot firing]
[Comical instrumental music]
[B.A. panting]
Nice, B.A.
Atta boy.
He told me he was interested in food. l didn't believe him till now.
FACE: Come on, you're gonna be okay, big guy.
MURDOCK: Get him around!
MURDOCK: Up with the leg.
[Alarm continues beeping]
Come and get it!
[Coughing]
HANNlBAL: How're we doing, guys?
l'm definitely gonna have to get my ribs taped.
FACE: l think that moose broke my nose.
B.A.?
You should see the other guy.
-What'd l tell you, Face? -What'd you tell me?
l'll tell you what you told me. ''This is gonna go down smooth, Face.
''A piece of cake, Face.
''Just a couple of goons with some camouflage paint...
''who call themselves a terrorist group, Face.
''ln and out. One, two, three, with the girl and the money.
''No muss, no fuss.''
-Right. -Right.
l think l got a busted nose.
FACE: Murdock's lost some ribs. B.A.'s lost all his marbles. And...
a very big ''and'' l might say...
we lost the money.
We were supposed to come back with the money.
Oh, great. The entire terrorist army is on our tail and we're out of gas.
Well, look at it this way, Face.
lf we hit rock bottom now the only place we can go is up.
You're going to let me go now or l'm going to blow you all away.
This is up?
[Tense instrumental music]
Miss Teasdale, l've heard you're a bit of a loon.
HANNlBAL: But you really jump the double yellow line with this.
l have to get back to the compound.
Hey, man, we ain't going nowhere. They hit the gas tank.
-l have to get back! -All you have to do is stand right there...
and those guys will find you.
lt won't take them that long to mobilise.
l've heard about cases like these...
where the victim is assimilated into the group...
and then becomes sympathetic with the kidnapper's cause.
HANNlBAL: You better give me the gun.
[Clicks]
JENNlFER: Oh, shoot. HANNlBAL: l'm sorry.
HANNlBAL: That's just a homing transmitter.
You have no idea what you've done. You've ruined everything.
You haven't made things all easy for us, either.
We were hired to rescue you from these creeps.
Your father paid a huge ransom. He's concerned about your welfare.
Yeah, right.
l don't know what family problems you have...
but our job is to deliver you home safely.
Which we intend to do, with or without your cooperation.
-But they'll kill Marcus. -Oh, no.
Who's Marcus?
He was with me when you guys came and pulled me out of there.
l don't want anything to happen to him.
You mean, the guy that had you on the cot and ripped your dress?
You're worried about him?
This story's getting too far out, even for me.
lt was just a show.
We heard somebody coming and we thought it might be one of the others.
We didn't want anybody to find out.
Find out what?
That Marcus and l love each other.
[Murdock laughing]
Why don't we get the van out of sight before they spot it? And then...
we'll all try and get our oars in the water...
and we'll all try to stroke in unison.
l'll take the wheel.
Okay, guys. Push!
They will not, l repeat, not get away.
l can't afford to strike camp now.
We've got three teams out covering this entire area here.
They were in a van so they can't handle any of the off-roading...
which limits their possible routes.
They obviousIy didn't know the type of terrain they wouId encounter.
Which makes me wonder, just how they located us in the first place.
-Somehow during the ransom pickup. -Yes. Somehow.
Too bad you were too busy to have interfered with that attack.
MARCUS: l don't need-- RAMON: Enough, both of you!
l want everyone assembled here in an hour whether they're found or not.
l'll take one of the jeeps and cover the northern quadrant.
You will stay right here, my friend...
where you can be watched.
You want us to go and rescue one of your kidnappers...
from your other kidnappers?
This is getting better by the moment.
He is not a kidnapper.
Marcus was my boyfriend before this whole thing went down.
Yeah, sure. He was a member of the GLA.
JENNlFER: He believed in their philosophies.
Their leader, Ramon, duped him into bringing me along for the weekend...
to see if l might understand what they stood for.
The next thing I knew, Ramon had me under Iock and key...
and the ransom demand went out.
Fathers get upset when their daughters are only taken to a drive-in.
What did you do? Win this date on some TV game show?
Jennifer, you've just won an all expenses paid...
kidnapping with the terrorist of your choice.
JENNlFER: They used Marcus as a pawn.
He just continued to play along with them...
once he realised the kind of fanatic he was dealing with.
Look.
Ramon was already beginning to suspect something.
He's going to think that Marcus helped me escape.
Now, there's no telling what they're gonna do to him.
You have to get him out of there.
Lady, all we care about is getting you back to your father.
-My father doesn't care about me. -Look, lady...
he went through an awful lot of trouble and a lot of money, to get us to find you.
Of course he did. What else is he gonna do?
He can't have people thinking that a big tycoon like Warren Teasdale...
wasn't going to ransom his daughter back.
Just wait until he finds out that you guys didn't get the ransom back.
l'm sure your father could care less about the ransom money...
once he finds out that his only daughter is safe and sound.
What the hell do you mean, you lost the money?
-All of it? -Well, yeah, it was all in the briefcase.
$500,000. You lost $500,000!
That was what you gave us. That was what the kidnappers took.
Yeah, l'd say we lost $500,000. But...
-we did get you your daughter back. -You said the money was just bait.
The only reason l agreed to turn it over was because...
Smith said he would guarantee it personally.
Yeah, you'd be surprised at the unexpected turns...
one runs into in the field.
l loaned you my money as a tool to retrieve my daughter.
TEASDALE: You Iost it.
Since the amount of cash Iost exceeds our negotiated fee...
l'm holding you all responsible for the difference.
Wait, we pulled this off and we owe you money?
You provided a sloppy service.
And you're facing a legitimate penalty for such.
TEASDALE: A business agreement is a business agreement.
Thank you for getting my daughter back.
Tell her l can't wait to see her.
And you don't want to go home.
[Slow instrumental music]
We got them now.
[Slow instrumental music continues]
You stay on their tail. Don't lose them.
l'll catch up with you later. l'll run back and call for some backup.
They're on foot so they can't be far ahead.
l'll bring a radio and we'll contact you as soon as we've sighted them.
Out.
[Tense instrumental music]
David.
David!
STRlCKLAND: David, are you all right?
[Murdock singing]
Say, Murdock...
-you look kind of nice in that outfit. -Thank you, Colonel.
Come on, Hannibal.
You don't intend to go back there? Those guys are expecting us.
They're looking for us out here, not expecting us back there.
Big difference.
Sneaking back into a war zone with the same plan a second time is insane.
lt's brilliant.
They'll never think we're crazy enough to do it.
I mean, they see the abandoned van. They automaticaIIy assume we're on foot.
Never think to look inside.
Everybody thinks that the best plans are the most elaborate ones. They're not.
-You're really going to go back? -Yes, ma'am.
My dear, l'd hate to go through this whole thing for nothing.
Our payment is back there.
Come on, Hannibal. You wanna go back there and get Marcus.
-Why don't you just admit it? -You're so romantic, Colonel.
-And you're so crazy, fool. -Yeah.
l don't suppose we'd be lucky enough...
that one of these guys here is Romeo?
No, l didn't think so.
l just hope he appreciates what we're going through for him.
HANNlBAL: Come on, guys, it's gonna be-- ALL: A piece of cake.
[Slow instrumental music]
MARCUS: Ramon!
RAMON: Well? MARCUS: There's still no word.
l thought Strickland found them.
MARCUS: He followed them but he lost it about 2 miles from the vehicle.
He radioed a short while ago. He should be back any time now.
You don't seem too concerned the girl got away.
What can l do more than anyone else?
We've got to move quickly.
If the girI heard about our pIans--
The men are all assembled.
Except for David and StrickIand.
l left word with the guard to have them report to the briefing upon their return.
[Ominous instrumental music]
[Upbeat instrumental music]
GUARD: Hold it, right there.
Now you see...
this is why you don't have as many visitors...
-as the terrorists up the road do. -Hey.
Just bring your hands up off the wheel, nice and easy.
l can't. He's says l should keep them where they are.
Strickland, l didn't see you. Where's David?
He's in the back.
This ought to take some of the pressure off.
Ramon's been crazed since these guys got away.
ls he gonna be glad to see you're back.
ALL: You think?
D Unit, under Dillon's command...
will launch the attack and take out the perimeter guard.
Once we have penetrated the second level...
Laura and Strickland will eliminate the inner security.
RAMON: All right, Kathryn...
and Marcus will place and activate the device.
First you have to shut down the main generator.
ln order to do that you will have to gain access to this area here.
See, B.A.?
HANNlBAL: l told you. They got everything we need.
All we gotta do is find lover boy and get out of here.
That's the easy part.
Perfect.
There ain't nothing easy about this mission since the day we started.
Find a way to anchor the rope and then wait.
Yeah, man.
There are a couple little glitches in every plan.
But from here on, it's open road.
-Think positive. -Think positive.
[Ominous instrumental music]
Not again.
RAMON: All right, you all know your assignments.
RAMON: There must be...
there will be...
no attempt at abort on this mission.
Failure won't be a setback. lt will mean total annihilation.
lts success is necessary if the GLA is to be--
All right, everybody put their weapons on the ground.
Face.
[Gunshot firing]
Do it.
Now, kick them away from you, nice and easy.
l hope this little prayer meeting isn't over.
My brothers and l want to repent.
Amen, brother!
You're all dead men.
Really? l didn't think l'd feel this good after l was dead.
l want to thank you all for coming to the funeral.
You'll never make it out of here alive.
What makes you think...
we're gonna leave you alive this time, curly?
The last time l was here l didn't tell you my opinion of kidnappers.
lt's down there at the bottom of the swamp.
You! Over here!
Come on.
We got something special for you, Marcus.
Courtesy of Big Daddy Teasdale.
l don't think he liked you dragging his daughter off...
to this little weekend seminar.
What are you going to do to me?
Use your imagination. Or you can borrow mine.
[Murdock laughing]
HANNlBAL: This looks familiar.
You don't mind if l relieve you of your excess baggage, do you?
You wouldn't want to be overburdened when you checked into the county cooker.
[lmitating an evangelist] Okay, brothers and sisters. l want you to reach out.
l want you to reach out to me, Brother Murdock.
'Cause we're gonna tie your little hands and leave you for the local fuzz to pick up.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
lt's a miracle and l do believe l spot some rope.
Brother Marcus, will you do us the honour and obtain it?
FACE: Right down to the last rubber band.
-You got the keys to the Bronco? -l got them.
l told you this would be a piece of cake.
[Dramatic instrumental music]
HANNlBAL: Freeze, everybody!
Okay, now you, cover the perimeter fence.
Mobilise all the vehicles. They will not get away this time!
Kill them! Kill them all!
We'll all be killed.
Face, you may not believe this...
but if we hang around here long and they catch us here, we'll all be killed.
l'm glad Jenny's okay. l can't believe you guys came back for me.
FACE: You can't?
Face, they're gonna find out any minute we didn't go out the front gate.
-l'm not worried. Are you guys worried? -Heck, no.
-Why should we? -A piece of cake.
l can't believe they got back in again!
RAMON: How could you let them through?
They had Strickland and David.
KATHRYN: As long as they don't get back off the grounds.
They're to be stopped. No matter what.
No matter who they have with them, this time. ls that understood?
You heard my second in command.
LAURA: Ramon!
They found something you should see.
[Suspenseful instrumental music]
[Fast-paced instrumental music]
They never intended to take the Bronco.
RAMON: They're heading for the north cliff.
MARCUS: Your Colonel Smith.
As long as there's gunfire, we know he's still alive for them to be shooting at.
[Dramatic instrumental music]
[Murdock mumbling]
What do we do now?
-We proceed on schedule. -What if Marcus tells them what he knows?
There is no way that they could get reinforcements...
and be at the dam before we're gone.
That means that it would just be the four of them again.
And that would be too bad for them.
JENNlFER: You made it.
-Honey, l was so worried about you. -Me, too, girl.
But you should have gotten out of here. Not let them come back for me.
We stand for truth, justice and the American way.
And if that means the kidnapper gets the girl...
well, we'll make that happen, too.
B.A.: Even if it kills us. JENNlFER: You guys are incredible.
l can't believe that you actually did it.
Neither can l.
We lost our wheels...
B.A. did 15 rounds with Godzilla.
Hannibal did a 20-story high dive.
We had our raft blown out from under us...
and we still managed to save the girl, her boyfriend and...
retrieve the money.
Now, all you've got to do is stop them from blowing up that dam.
Dam?
l want to cry.
[Slow instrumental music]
GUARD: Come on, move it up.
GUARD: Darn, let's go. Come on.
[Gunshot fires]
[Rhythmic instrumental music]
[Suspenseful instrumental music]
They're on their way.
l'll lock the gate and start the party.
You know...
l'm getting to love this bulletproof vest.
[Rhythmic instrumental music]
[Murdock panting]
This one here, it looks like it's just about your size.
lt's not exactly my idea of what a well-dressed terrorist should wear.
l'm gonna go get my gun.
Then l'll catch you on the flip side.
l'll go up to the catwalk over there and locate the second guard.
MURDOCK: Where am l supposed to go?
-Who are you? -You'd never believe it.
Neat surprise, huh?
MURDOCK: Put your guns down. Put them down.
Now move it.
Put your weapons down.
Get against the wall.
You've got to be kidding. My men are all over this place.
HANNlBAL: Wrong.
You had three on C level, two by the sluice gates...
and, if l'm not mistaken...
here come the ones who were supposed to take out interior security.
Just like shooting pool, you take your time and sink each ball.
You forgot about this.
KATHRYN: lt's set and you can't stop it.
You've got less than 90 seconds.
You're too Iate.
She's right. lt's ticking.
Face, Murdock, take care of them.
FACE: Never-ending madness.
What are you? A couple of fruit flies? There are places for people like you.
[Military instrumental music]
B.A.: lt's the bomb.
[Military instrumental music continues]
[Military instrumental music intensifies]
[Explosion]
TEASDALE: l owe you people a great deal for saving my daughter.
l owe you even more.
Marcus got a suspended sentence and we can keep on seeing each other.
That terrorist will never get a job.
My daughter doesn't have a dime. She'll do as l say.
You shouldn't be too unhappy, Mr. Teasdale, after all...
all the rest of the terrorists are turning into sharp cheddar cheese in jail.
And Jennifer here can see Marcus under more normal conditions.
Fair's fair in love and war and all that stuff.
None of which tells me where the money l entrusted to you went.
You people are supposed to have answers.
We can't pull a rabbit out of the hat, if the rabbit's jumped out of it.
But it is ironic...
that we brought your daughter home safely...
and you told us we did a sloppy job and wouldn't get paid.
And now, we can't find the money anywhere.
lt's real strange.
You have a definite payment coming.
Anytime now.
[Police siren wailing]
Sounds like the first instalment.
l figured you'd do something like this.
-That's Decker out there. -Sure is.
We got to pop a brodie and get moving.
They'll never catch us, Mr. Teasdale. And just so you know...
we're like socks.
You can put us through a rough wash once, but you'll never use us again.
-Good luck, Jennifer. -Thanks.
MURDOCK: You think he knows we put the beans in the bank under her name?
HANNlBAL: Minus our modest fee. FACE: Very modest.
HANNlBAL: She probably did.
HANNlBAL: Just to pay him back, for turning us in after we saved her life.
This is almost perfect justice for him.
Almost as if l planned it.
Didn't you?
[Theme music]
