They yank me out of the biggest jamboree
of the year and right in the middle of the night...
How am I going to teach responsibility to the Young Bisons
if I'm not even there?
And don't think that they can't track me down.
And if they track me down, that means they can track you down,
and if they track you down, whose cover is blown, then, huh?
Murdock, General, Carla.
Excuse me, ladies, I must go.
Lauren, why don't you give your swimming suit to Carla?
All right, ladies, we will see you next Friday.
This obviously explains the huge tabs you've been running up all around town.
$25,000 in just the last few weeks.
Yeah, well, I never could say no to a bargain.
Especially when Uncle Sam is picking up the tab.
What is this doing here, Mr. Santana?
Those are expensive surveillance cameras.
Chalk up another $5,000.
I don't know why you bother, Stockwell.
We said we'd go on the missions, we gave you our word.
The honor system seems to work with my troops, General.
This house of cards couldn't keep us for five minutes.
Check your security.
Where are Able Six and Able Seven?
Unable. This way.
Here are your boys, General.
They decided to sit this dance out.
Spoilsport.
Shall we adjourn?
I don't get it. How could a two-bit dictator like Alexander Martien
dare to take three US citizens prisoner?
Well, apparently their boat, The Lucy,
strayed into San Marcos' territorial waters while on a cruise.
And for this they need our services?
President Martien would like to turn this minor infraction
into an international incident.
Man, isn't that the way?
No respect for power.
Hey, isn't that Ted Burke?
The rich guy who owned all the movie studios?
And advertising agencies and race horses and...
He and two other men,
Rick Balcolm and Dan Sellers, are now Martien's political prisoners.
Obviously, this administration can't be involved with another Grenada.
The United States cannot attack that little island.
So if we go in, we're on our own.
Oh, I love that. I love it, I love it.
Well, certainly we will not abandon you,
at least not for 24 hours.
That's very considerate.
As Americans, you can expect to be shot on sight if you're discovered.
How do they feel about Puerto Ricans?
And black people?
I'll arrange for a submarine to drop you at San Marcos.
It will rendezvous with you in exactly 24 hours.
If you're not there to meet it,
you and the mission will be abandoned.
Well, we'll need a bazooka, automatic weapons,
some fire grenades, some stun grenades.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with US military equipment.
If it were left behind...
Then they would know the US government was involved. Yes, spook 101.
We do have a few pieces of Korean equipment,
which I think is in working order.
No way, General. I mean, we don't go in without good equipment.
Hey, man, B.A. Baracus don't fight with no toys.
We've got some of our own we can use.
Okay, guys.
Don't tell us you're going to get sick now?
How'd you guess?
Because your skin pigmentation
is the color of a ficus bush.
Take deep breaths, Frank.
No can do, Johnny.
Frankie Santana don't ride the waves no more.
From now on we fly or we drive.
Hey, man.
If it's a choice between flying or taking a boat,
we're going to take a boat.
Well, I'll take that choppy boat ride over some smooth flight any day.
Frankman is one flexible dude, okay?
Murdock, keep track of the hours till rendezvous.
You got it.
All right, let's go! Prison's north of here.
Colonel, Colonel, my Bison training tells me
that this is fungi Musci moss here,
which means north is that way.
I'm sorry, Murdock, but the compass says north is that way.
B.A., take rear guard.
We are searching for the rebel Juan Alvarez.
We have information that he is from this village.
Expose him as the traitor that he is
and no harm will befall you or your children.
Where is Juan Alvarez?
Search everywhere.
Are we just going to stand here and watch?
B.A., we've got 21 hours to accomplish our mission and make that rendezvous.
We haven't got time for cleanup detail.
You do not fear me, huh?
Perhaps you are a rebel, huh?
Take her. No!
No! No!
Stop it! No! Stop it!
Now, that guy's really out of line.
Give my brother.
Leave her alone!
You want someone to take back, take me. I am her brother.
We'll be back.
Well, you have to admit he earned his Bison badge for bravery on that one.
Well, he certainly didn't earn it for being smart.
You guys watch behind us. B.A., come with me.
Is Maria going to die?
No, but she's real sick.
Bonita, all of you live here alone?
Where are your parents?
They gone. Soldiers take them away, long time ago.
Why? What did they do?
Nothing, they were honest people.
President Martien takes many people. Most we never see again.
How does this guy get away with this stuff?
Bonita, the prison.
Can you show us a good way to get there?
I can.
I know this island up and down.
Hannibal, Maria's fever is getting higher.
I don't think she should be alone.
Well, I can stay.
No, you've got to look at that prison real close.
B.A., here. Give her these. Stay a little while.
We're at 0800 hours, Hannibal.
Got it.
So how much time does that mean we have?
Twenty hours. I thought you were in the paratroopers.
Seven guards in a watchtower,
four on each wall, all with automatic weapons,
an M60 at the gate with two ammo-handlers
and a gallows.
Well, at least we know we're in the right place.
Yeah.
I like it. It's going to be a piece of cake.
Colonel, the other side of the prison is identical to this one,
except that there is wild foliage growing up the north wall.
They got enough searchlights to hold a premiere at the Chinese theater.
How're we doing for time, Murdock?
We're at about 1030 hours, Colonel.
That means we got until 1300 to get somebody inside that prison.
That'll give us till 1500 to find Burke and spring him.
Wait a minute, so that leaves how much time to get to the sub?
We'll have four hours to get to the beachhead and then another hour
to row out to the rendezvous point about 1900 hours.
Colonel, that leaves us a cushion of less than one hour.
That's not much, but it'll have to do.
Now, why can't we just say, you know, like, 8:05, like normal people?
Like 2:30.
Hey, here comes Martien in a Rolls-Royce
with some guy in a Russian uniform. Take a look at that.
Russians?
That must have slipped Stockwell's mind.
Wait until you see the rest of our island.
The resources, the natural harbors...
I think you will be more than enthusiastic.
Uh-oh. Something's happening.
Get them! Get them, and bring them to me!
Let's get out of here.
What is your name? Answer me!
We will find out what we want to know.
Not from this one!
To come this close, this man has lost his fear of me.
Am I right?
You have no fear. Hmm?
You are willing to die in silence for your cause?
Leave,
and tell your rebel brothers that at least I respect their bravery.
That's the guy who started the all fireworks.
These must be his friends.
I tell you, guys, we're only here on a rescue mission.
If you are not working for Martien, why did you attempt to pursue us?
Things were a little confusing back there.
I mean, it wasn't exactly the kind of situation
where you trust the first person you run into.
I say the risk is too great. I say we get rid of them now!
Now, that would be a big mistake.
Yeah, a big mistake.
It's B.A.
This changes nothing. My men can still cut you down.
I'd think twice before I did that. B.A.'s got a short temper.
Mr. Good Guy.
You tell them. You tell them, Chihuahua.
These are my friends.
They help Maria. They gave us food.
When the soldiers tried to take me away,
this man risked his life to save me.
Please, listen to them.
You may call me Tómas Jefferson.
That seems appropriate.
I am the leader of the revolutionary forces.
This is my Capitán, Señor Alvarez.
Martien has three U.S. citizens in his prison.
We're going to get them out.
Nothing can interfere with the revolution.
No offense, but from what I've seen,
this isn't much of a revolution.
Hey, man, you're fighting hit-and-run with rocks and sticks.
That ain't no way to fight a war.
We will endure as we always have.
In five years of fighting, Martien has failed to destroy us.
Or you've made no progress against him.
It does depend on how you look at it.
We do not need outside help.
The revolution is a battle for the people of San Marcos.
You know, that Russian
who was getting the grand tour,
isn't here to buy a condo.
You can never stop the will of the people.
If Martien is snuggling up to the those guys you can kiss this revolution goodbye.
The Russians will not affect your mission, Colonel.
There was no need to tell you about them.
Well, the people down here are pretty upset about it.
Now, It may take us an extra day.
Colonel, you are to get the men out of prison and meet the sub on schedule.
You are to have no contact with the civilians
or the government of San Marcos.
Now, do it my way.
Is that understood?
You were breaking up pretty bad there, General.
Sir, I don't read you, but I'll talk to you later.
You're in a defensive posture.
What you need are a couple of decisive victories.
As you can see, we are hardly equipped
to attack Martien's forces directly.
That's a bad attitude.
We're going to have to work on that.
Make sure you tie that hitch real tight,
so we can keep the tension.
A half hitch in time saves nine.
It is very kind of you, Frankie, and your friends to do so much for us.
You are very special.
Yeah, well, when you've been doing this kind of stuff as long as I have,
it sort of becomes second nature, know what I mean?
I only hope I can express my gratitude.
Oh, we'll think of something.
All set, Face.
Couldn't you have found me something in eelskin?
Okay,
you've got five grenades, the best M14 we've got,
50 rounds of ammunition, a synchronized watch, and this.
What's that?
This is a second-degree Woodfox badge.
Now, normally there is a requirement of a five-mile walk
but I think I can swing it with the board.
Now, don't say anything. Let's just share the moment.
What you... Share it!
Your man Santana could pass,
but the others would be spotted instantly.
That's true, but Face has got to have a back-up.
Very well, two of our men will go
with Face and Señor Santana.
We're fighting a revolution here.
We cannot sacrifice two of our men for their mission.
If they destroy the weapons,
they are doing us quite a favor, Juan.
I will go.
Oh, no, no, no. Forget that.
I'm not even crazy about me going.
Frankie, this is my country, I believe in the revolution,
and I will fight with the others for that belief.
Okay.
Bueno. Bonita will go. Juan, you will go as well.
I will not be lead by foreigners.
Fine, you lead.
That guy sure seems to be carrying a grudge.
The man Martien murdered today was Alvarez's brother.
Juan.
It's inexcusable. The weapons I gave you in good faith
are destroyed by guerillas, which you have said don't exist.
Comrade Kerensky, as I have told you
this is the work of a small group of malcontents.
They only got as close as they did through the negligence of soldiers.
The same soldiers, who allowed the attack
on your motorcar.
I will be blunt. I am here for the boat.
I don't care whether you have an insurgency or a group of malcontents,
but if you need more troops, I can...
No! We do not need foreign intervention!
We have a deal. The MiGs for the boat.
And let me remind you, Comrade,
the U.S.S.R. is not the only customer I can deal with.
Do not underestimate the President.
He does not make threats lightly.
He will have what he wants on his terms only.
And you seem to be much more rational,
more aware of the world arena.
Perhaps I was bargaining with the wrong man.
You could be very powerful, Commandant.
And you, Comrade, could be shot.
Mission accomplished, Johnny. Scratch one weapons deal.
But there is bad news. Your man has been captured and beaten.
Martien has him in his custody.
Martien has him just where we want him.
Take it easy. I got a tennis elbow, all right?
Do you mind?
Come on, at least give me back my watch, huh?
You're lucky he let you keep your shirt.
Burke, Balcolm and Sellers, right?
Guilty. Who are you?
Well, my name is Templeton Peck
and believe it or not, I am here to rescue you.
Ah! You did?
Yeah, well, I know, it's not, it's not quite the same
as the cavalry coming over the ridge, is it?
Then you're from the company?
Company?
Its okay, Peck, it's okay.
The cell isn't bugged, we checked.
Yeah, and besides, if you think Martien doesn't know already
that we're with American intelligence,
well, you've got a lot of surprises in store for you.
Oh, no, no, no. Don't tell me.
You guys are American intelligence agents?
That's right.
Well, that explains why Kerensky is here, doesn't it?
Anatoly Kerensky is here?
Yeah.
Damn it, he's here to get the boat.
The boat you guys were captured on?
I thought Martien blew that up.
No, no. We were gonna scuttle it ourselves
but we didn't have enough time.
His gunboats got to us too quick.
And Mr. Peck, that boat is just jam-packed
with top-secret, submarine detection gear,
I mean, enough to just blow the entire ocean grid network.
And Kerensky is the Soviets' top troubleshooter.
If he gets his hands on that boat...
We gotta get out of here.
Well, in two-and-a-half hours, we'll be on a submarine
headed for the Mayport Naval Air Station.
So, well, we can worry about your boat then, okay? Right now...
It's time for my daily walk around the grounds, isn't that right, guys?
How do you like the watch?
Radio Faceman is on the air.
It's a pretty snappy tune, too.
Yeah. Right on time. How is it coming, B.A.?
Right on schedule, Hannibal.
Good. When we get to the prison, we can triangulate
and pinpoint Face's exact location.
Amazing, the way your men work together.
You caught us on a good day.
All right, now, B.A., you got the walls, Frankie's got the rockets.
Murdock and I will hit the gate and try
to cover the guards on the watchtowers. It's gonna be tight.
My men and I will attack the gate.
Brief me on your plan.
Now, that's a welcome change.
You've helped us when you didn't need to
and your men have risked their lives for our cause. Now I wanna help you.
Besides, I can think of nothing that would humiliate Martien more
than an escape from his impenetrable prison.
I want our revolution to be a part of that.
This could get interesting.
Goodbye, Mr. Frankie.
So long, champ.
Now, I don't want to hear it, Bonita, okay?
We figure the old Presidente might try to get the jump on us,
so it's off to the high country for you.
I am not afraid of him.
Tell me about it.
You know, to tell you the truth,
when Hannibal asked me to come on this mission,
I was a little unsure.
Not scared, mind you, just thoughtful.
But you, you just jump right in there.
I've never met a girl like you.
When you think of our people who have been imprisoned or killed,
it was a small thing.
Still, the old Frankman was impressed.
For five years now, this war has gone on and our people have hidden in the brush.
But now everything is so big.
Well, look. Martien's on the defensive.
The A-Team is here.
What dictator wouldn't quake at that thought, huh?
You make light of everything. But I can tell.
I can read your soul, Frankie. You are scared.
My father gave me this.
It is for good luck.
I will probably never see you again and I want you to have it.
You will probably need it more than I will.
Look, Bonita...
Just go.
I will be back.
I promise.
Come on, move it, man.
Hannibal said we got three hours to finish our work and get back to the sub.
Yeah. Right.
You do have a choice, you know.
You can talk to me, tell me what I want to know and live,
or you can persist at being stubborn, in which case I will kill you.
And I guarantee,
it will take hours for you to die.
You have been on him for some time, Commandant, and yet, nothing.
Listen, young man, your life is over, do you understand?
Everything you and your spies have attempted has failed.
Now, I am the master here.
This is my country and you live or die at my whim.
Take him back to his cell.
Not a word of this American agent to Kerensky.
Oh, no, no, no, no. Not the boots again.
Okay, okay, okay.
How does it look, B.A.?
Looks good, Hannibal.
Oh, no.
What's the matter, what's going on?
Well, a major part of our escape plan has just gone into the toilet.
Got it.
Stand by.
Colonel Smith, the Russian is leaving.
Let him go, Alvarez. Stick to plan.
As you say.
Hey, compadre.
Hey, could you tell me what time it is?
They're attacking here!
Oh, I was beginning to wonder.
Have I ever let you down?
Ted Burke. Thanks a lot, Colonel.
Man, did you ever see such a thing of beauty?
Perfect trajectory. Up and over.
Colonel, we don't hit that beachhead in 15 minutes,
you better break out the water wings.
Let's go.
I will have those spies back.
I don't care how long it takes. I don't care how many people die.
I will have them back!
Mr. Good Guy!
I saw you land. I knew you'd come back here.
Chihuahua, you can't come with us.
El Presidente, he go crazy. He took people away.
He say if he not get his prisoners back, he start killing them every hour.
What about Bonita?
Soldiers take her and Señor Jefferson. We need your help.
So what do you say, Mr. Good Guy?
Hold on, Smith. As much as we'd like to, we can't get involved in a civil war.
Okay, Burke,
grab the boat and get it to the sub.
If we're not out in three hours, call an air strike and split.
Yes, sir.
Let's go, guys.
Remember that sound, Jefferson.
Next time that door drops, you won't be hearing it.
Perhaps.
No one's coming to your rescue, Jefferson.
Your American friends have abandoned you.
And your pathetic little rebellion will die with you at the end of that rope.
My people, I have asked you all here to witness
the termination of a vicious plot,
a plot to take San Marcos away from me!
Us.
The seeds of discontent...
I'd dry that tear for you,
but it would be out of character.
Señor Smith? Don't look.
of our Caribbean homeland.
Is that you?
You don't think I'd let that slime ball really hang you, do you?
of the United States
that have poisoned certain segments of our sovereign nation.
God bless you.
on the threshold of destiny.
The elimination of these traitors
is one more triumphant battle won
for the freedom of Third World nations.
Tómas Jefferson, Bonita Gallegos
Alberto Musalen and Roberto Ribas,
once good people, have been infected with the disease of dissent.
For that they must die.
Those imperialists from across the ocean
who will look upon San Marcos with greedy eyes should take note.
Do not underestimate the will and determination
of our military forces.
We have come a long way.
The people of San Marcos have been forced to labor tirelessly
to bring our country...
This is gonna be for you, Bonita.
The gem of our efforts is soon to be mined
and polished to glitter
in the rays of the sun.
How many more? How many innocents will die because of...
Hey, Santana, you done here yet?
B.A., genius and artistry cannot be rushed.
Hey, man, if you don't hurry up, those people are gonna die.
Like I said, nothing here that can't pass for perfection.
So what's going on? Didn't you find the boat?
Martien got the boat in the building out back.
So what's the problem?
Now all we gotta do is wait for our boy Murdock to come through with his part.
That's the thing that worries me.
A new triumphant battle
won for the freedom of Third World nations.
It is a new beginning of dawn
of the long hard night of the longest day.
Executioner,
do your duty.
I don't believe this.
Anytime, Murdock. We're cutting it a little close.
Come on, Murdock.
I love the smell of revolution in the morning.
It smells like Hush Puppies!
What is going on?
I love this stuff.
My palace. They're attacking my palace!
How could you let them get away? After them!
This is Bison Leader to the combined military forces of Presidente Martien
offering you a rare opportunity to lay down your weapons
and join the Bison Troops of San Marcos.
It's the big maintenance building out back. Get it, crazy fool!
Okay. I gotta tell you, from up here
the local flora and fauna is quite remarkable.
Murdock.
My boat. They're going for the boat!
No!
Martien, I've been saving this little puppy just for you.
This is for all the rotten things you ever did to Bonita and her people.
I call it "The Frankie Flip. "
I love it when a plan comes together.
Regardless of me, you should come to the States, Bonita.
I mean, I'm not in a very stable position right now, but I will be.
You should see Hollywood.
It's like a multi-billion-dollar playground.
And New York, you'd love that.
Frankie, I have seen San Marcos die and be reborn again.
There is so much to be done and I want to be a part of it.
But I will never forget you.
Don't lose this, okay?
I may be selfish, but I don't want you to forget me, either.
I do not know if we'll ever be able to tell you
how much you've done for our people.
It may seem like the hard part is over, but I have a feeling
that our challenge is just beginning.
Thank you.
Colonel, what do you suppose Stockwell's gonna say
about us knocking this country sideways?
I don't know, but I'm gonna enjoy it.
Hey, Hannibal, the sub is on the way.
Murdock, what? What, what?
What? What are you looking at? I...
For outstanding dedication to the Bison code of bravery,
you are now
a Baying Wolf, First Degree.
I'm a... I'm a Baying Wolf.
I've always suspected it.
I can't believe this is the second time he pulled me away from my Bison troops.
I mean, how are they gonna learn anything?
