04x23 - The Sound of Thunder

[bunniefuu]

(male narrator) In 1972,
a cr*ck commando unit...

was sent to prison
by a m*llitary 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.

(Michele)
I am so lost, Monsieur Smith.

I've saved all I have
to come to America...

to find my brother.

And there is no one
to help me.

Not Immigration...

or the police.

No one.

Miss Devereaux...

Michele, the information you've
given me is sketchy at best.

Your brother's been missing
for over a year.

I'd be ripping you off.

Pardon?

Cheating you.

Not being honest with you
if I took your money.

[sighing]

It is all I have.

I give you everything.

I have no other place
to turn.

Please, please,
Monsieur Smith.

I would give anything...

anything-

lam a friend named Face...

who's never gonna forgive
me for this, but...

I don't operate
that way, Michele.

You've come to me for help
and I can't do anything.

And I can't take advantage
of you...

not for money
or anything.

I cannot think of many people who
would not have taken advantage.

But I am a stranger...

all alone in this country.

I know no one else.

I like you, Hannibal.

Whether you help me
or not...

I like you.

And I do not wish
to be alone this evening.

I came in a cab,
so we can go in your car.

Why don't you have
the valet bring it around?

And I have a quick
phone call to make.

Thank you,
Hannibal Smith.

All right, Smith--

[women screaming]

Ladies, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

Go on about
your business, sorry.

[g*n cocking]

Smith.

Now, now, General...

didn't you ever learn it's not
nice to look up ladies' skirts?

Smith, I've been
looking for you.

Yeah? In there?

We better have a little talk
about boys and girls.

Now, smile when you pass the cashier.
Where are you taking me?

Where they won't throw
purses at you, General.

I'll drive.

Hey, what do you think
you're doing?

It's just...

one of the many services we supply to
clients who've had too much to drink.

I didn't have too much
to drink.

Enough to have lost
your accent.

Oh, you look surprised
to see me.

Oh, I...
Monsieur Smith...

What do you say we skip
that evening at your hotel...

and go directly to that place you've
been using at the beach, huh, Face?

Evening at her hotel,
huh, Colonel?

Gee, you should have sprung
that trap a little later.

Business before pleasure,
Lieutenant.

You no-good, son of a--

Well...

if you two were wired, the
bugs aren't any good anymore.

Right, General?

Get me out of here.

Not till you tell me
what's going on.

You and Meryl Streep here
have been giving...

a performance for Mr. Lee and some of
my acquaintances for the past week.

You were so obvious, I decided
to find out what you wanted.

I wanted to find you.

Now you found us,
just spit it out.

[splashing]

I wanted you to go on a mission.
I needed your help.

Boy, this is rich.

Come on,
we're out of here.

No, I mean it,
it's true!

Is it?

She doesn't know anything.

I just pulled her
out of the pool...

because she could speak
another language.

And because I thought she would
be interesting enough...

to lure you in, Smith.

General, you are beginning
to figure me out.

Can I get the hell
out of this water?

Okay, B.A.
Let him out.

Colonel Morrison.

Morrison!
What about him?

He's the officer you claim sent you on
the mission to rob the Bank of Hanoi.

The mission that you
got locked up on.

He's the only one that can
prove your innocence.

You mean, could have.
He's been dead since '72.

Can.
He's still alive.

Morrison d*ed in a shelling
in Phnom Penh.

The information we have, he's still alive.
He's a prisoner of w*r.

The information came
from our underground.

Well, if the government
has this information...

they must be mounting
a rescue effort.

The government is choosing
to ignore this information...

as bogus.

Why they want
to do that?

We've been getting
information...

from the POW camps
ever since the w*r ended.

And everyone in America is demanding
that we get those boys out of there.

But if we did, I don't have to tell
you what that would mean, do I?

Start another w*r.

It's a very
touchy situation...

because nobody wants
to point their finger.

Nobody wants
any confrontations.

Why is Morrison of such
great interest to you?

Morris and I,
we go back a long way.

A lot of wars.

A lot of campaigns.

We got through
all of them together.

Till Vietnam.

We didn't get through it.

So, when I heard that...

he's alive,
maybe there's a chance--

Chances of Morrison still
being alive are slim to none.

Hannibal, you know, this whole thing
could just be an elaborate trap.

Can we take that chance?

Can we afford not to?

This is a chance...

for all of you
to have something...

you never thought
you could ever have again.

Freedom.

(Murdock)
Free. I need to be free.

I'm suffocating.
I need to get out.

Out.

And I will grant
three wishes...

to whoever does me
the good deed.

I can make you beautiful.

I can make you rich.

I can make you poor.

But you've either
or either got it...

or you haven't got style.

♪ And if you've got it ♪

♪ It stands out a mile ♪♪

[people exclaiming]

(orderly)
No panic, no panic.

The emergency generator
will kick on in a minute.

[people exclaiming]

Hey!

He did it again.

What are we doing sneaking
around the VA hospital?

This is government property and
it happens to be against the law.

Will you keep it down? You're
gonna get us nailed here.

I can't keep it down because I'm
not used to being a burglar.

We didn't burgle anyone.

We're just shutting off
the electricity for a bit.

The bottom line is, Captain, if you
come along with us, you're exposed.

Your cover is blown
for good.

Not to worry,
Colonel.

[birds chirping]

Oh, no.

Uh, I don't believe
we've met.

I can't believe it. Murdock
is part of the A-Team.

Right under our noses,
all this time.

I'm sorry,
my nose knows...

not to whose nose
you refer.

You're Captain Murdock.

Captain Spaulding.

Murdock.

I wonder what
gave me away.

(Fulbright) Listen, I'm not
gonna have any part of this.

We're busting a ring ding
out of the hospital.

I finally agree
with this guy.

Fulbright and I agreed
that on this mission...

neither gets out
of the other's sight.

Now, first, we need
transportation.

I know.
We have to fly.

I'll do it this time.

Because if this Morrison
guy can clear us...

you guys won't have to be
knocking me out no more...

for none of these crazy
capers we've been going on.

(Fulbright) Okay, I got the uniform on.
Now what?

What are we
doing here?

Well, I believe that
they're here searching...

for the proper forward
and upward momentum...

to get them to their
preferred destination.

I mean, not that I know
anything about flying or--

lam not gonna steal
a m*llitary airplane.

Of course you're not.
We are.

You're just coming along
for the ride.

Smith, hold on
a minute.

Now, look,
Fulbright...

maybe it'd be better if you'd give
us all the information you have...

and then we'll
go get Morrison.

No way. This is my mission.
We're gonna do it my way.

You know, we're all part
of the same team.

Correction. The team
did not join you.

You are joining
the team.

Now, if you wanna
tag along, fine.

But keep your mouth shut
and be a good soldier.

Now, I believe that...

that this is the one that your
Captain, if he were here...

would request,
Manface?

Yeah, that one? One with the
little stars on the side?

We'll never get away
with this. Never.

We're gonna get
thrown in the stockade.

Oh, my God. I'll be in a
cell next to the A-Team.

Well, at least you won't have to chase
us all over town to find us anymore.

And just how do you
propose to pull this off?

Face, give me
the General's g*ns.

Sure, sure.

All right, General, you've finally succeeded
in doing what you've been trying to do.

You've finally captured
the A-Team.

You actually captured
the A-Team, sir.

That's incredible.

Lieutenant, I want the first available
aircraft made ready for me.

I gotta get these dangerous
criminals to Washington right away.

(Lieutenant) Well, we have
a transport coming in...

within the next
two hours.

They will only
be laying in--

(Murdock) What about this
plane right here, Lieutenant?

This plane is
General Ekworth's, sir.

(Fulbright)
Ekworth?

What does this man
look like to you?

Don't you see
the stars on his shoulder?

Oh, yes, certainly, but General
Ekworth is a four-star General.

What do you think that "Bull"
Fulbright is going to be...

when he turns in the A-Team...

the most notorious outlaws in
America since the James g*ng.

Well, I could call
General Ekworth--

You do that,
you do just that.

No, no, don't do that.

I mean, if...

I don't have to,
here he comes.

All right, nobody moves
or Fulbright eats it.

Get on the plane.
You, get in the pilot's seat.

I, but--

Do what he says,
do what he says.

(Fulbright) Are you
satisfied, Lieutenant?

You gave them the upper hand.
Now tell that to Ekworth.

What are you going to do
with General Fulbright?

What are you doing
with my plane?

The A-Team has
taken it, sir.

The A-Team! They've taken
General Fulbright hostage, too.

Let's go. Stop that plane.
I don't care what it takes.

I'm not gonna be one
of The A-Team's many fools.

(Lieutenant)
But General Fulbright--

ls a soldier.

Look, why don't you
just take off?

I don't know what the General's
been up to lately...

but he's been hanging around
with some pretty funky people.

I mean, they got all kinds
of weirdo mundo stuff here.

Blank, black gauges.

Black gauges?

All top secret stuff,
who knows what it's for?

I mean, this could even
be a self-destruct button.

Hey, wait, wait.

What? Will you just
get us up in the air?

[g*ns f*ring]

Are they crazy?
Don't they know I'm aboard?

Those who live
by the sword...

You guys are lunatics.

Yeah, well, General, you should learn to
enjoy your vacation time more, you know?

This isn't exactly
standard procedure...

landing a plane like this
in a joint like this.

A gnat couldn't even
get in here.

Actually, gnats choose the
narrow polis st*lks to land on.

Face, how far to Hanoi?

(Face)
About 10 clicks.

Hey, man,
I can't believe it.

I made it all the way.

Yes, well, you did black out
for a small part of the trip.

Like from Kansas City
to Manila.

(Murdock) Technically,
he didn't blank out.

He was mildly catatonic.

(Fulbright) Just how in the hell
are we gonna get out of here?

How did we get in here,
that's what I want to know?

Let's get
this thing camouflaged.

I want to be in Hanoi
before dark.

[crickets chirping]

[helicopter whirring]

[explosions]

Lieutenant, I know it's
good to be back...

but we got work to do.

(Hannibal) Okay, General, it's your call.
Where do we go from here?

We have to head for the
village of Dai Khong.

But I don't think we should
attempt it till tomorrow morning.

(Hannibal) That means we
need a place to stay, Face.

Can you do anything
about that?

Sure, Sheraton Hotel,
downtown Hanoi.

No, no fooling,
really.

(B.A.) Man, they're gonna notice
five Americans checking in.

Ah, yes, but who would pay attention
to Monsieur Pierre Lebec?

Europeans,
especially the French...

have very good relations
with the Vietnamese.

[people chattering]

[helicopter engine whirring]

N[Eve of Destruction playing]

[machine g*ns f*ring]

[a*tillery f*ring]

[helicopter whirring]

Where's Fulbright?

[people chattering]

Are you sure this is where
you're supposed to bring me?

[speaking in Vietnamese]

Wait!

Fulbright, hit the deck!

[g*n f*ring]

Get her, Face.

Face, Face. Help him,
he's gonna need it.

(Fulbright) Look, I don't
know who that girl was...

and I don't know why she
was trying to k*ll me!

Why did you slip out on us? I thought
we were all in this together.

Where were you
going, anyway?

You lied to us.

Right from the start.

We didn't come over here to
rescue Morrison, your friend...

the guy who could
clear us.

Morrison was
my friend.

Was. He's dead. You've got no
reason to believe he's alive.

You didn't any information
from government sources.

Morrison has nothing to do
with why we're here, does he?

No.
No?

No. I...

I did what
I had to do.

For whom?

For you?

For my son. Okay?

(Fulbright)
For my son.

(Hannibal) I didn't
know you had a son.

I didn't either,
till that came.

Evidently, he had tried
to reach me before...

but this was the first one
that got through.

And his mother never told
you she was pregnant.

Well, you know
how it is.

Me being a soldier.

American soldier. She probably
figured I'd be shipped out...

if I wasn't k*lled first.

Why didn't you try to get your
son back through the government?

It doesn't work that way.

In this country,
I'm a w*r criminal.

That's why...

I have to get him out of
here because he is my son.

Well, someone must've known
what you're up to.

They sent Madame Kung Fu...

to take you
on your last rickshaw ride.

I didn't have anyone
else to turn to...

when I came to you guys,
and I figured, well...

if you're everything
that you say you are...

you'd take the mission.

You turn it down...

then I know
what you really are.

Tough way to prove
we're innocent.

I want all of you
to know one thing...

as much as I wanted and needed you
to go on this mission with me...

I never really thought
you were innocent...

until now.

Well, well, well,
don't that b*at all?

"Bull" Fulbright...

risking the disgrace
of a court martial...

to try and rescue the son
he never knew he had.

Looks like we're back in
Vietnam for no reason.

What we do now?

Well, we can split...

or we can help him out.

Help Fulbright?

No.

(Murdock)
Well...

I'm out
for the weekend anyway.

(Fulbright)
That used to be a bar.

Chinh Tu was a waitress there.
That's how I met her.

But that was
20 years ago.

(Hannibal) Oh, there must be
somebody who remembers her...

or her son.
A relative, a friend.

There was one girl.

Linh... My Linh.

My Linh.

Do you know
where she lives?

Same village.
Dai Khong.

[goat bleating]

[knocking on door]

My Linh?

[people chattering]

I believe you speak English.

I'm here for a friend...

Chinh Tu.

[speaking in Vietnamese]

I sent you from my house
once before, General.

That is how I feel now.

I've come
a long way, My Linh.

I don't have
anyone else to help me.

I will not help you.

Then if not for me...
Chinh Tu.

Chinh Tu
was my dear friend.

But she and you
were wrong.

What you did was wrong.

She did not listen
to me then, but...

she finally believed me
after you left.

What about the baby?

Yes...

I know about
the baby.

I know that
she was pregnant.

At least, I know now.

Now, why didn't
she tell me?

Would you have stayed?

Well...

it's hard to answer that question.
That was 20 years ago.

It was another world.

(My Linh)
You ruined her life!

You left her
with an American baby.

I didn't know!

You were an enemy
of this country!

Criminal!

She did not need you.

The child does not
need you.

But then why did he
reach out for help?

Who'?
M'! boy

Why did he send me this letter
asking me to bring him back?

The General has no son.

Chinh Tu had
a little girl.

A little girl?

(Face)
You mean...

it was your own daughter
who tried to k*ll you?

(Murdock)
Boy, it's a strange world.

My Linh says
his daughter, Tia...

lives in a small village
just across the river.

You mean,
we're gonna find her?

If she wrote the letter...

that mean, she wanted you
over here so she can k*ll you.

I'm not gonna go back now
until I find out why...

why she wanted to k*ll me,
why she hates me, why...

why her mother would say all
those horrible things about me.

I have to go see her.

[birds chirping]

I do believe we've met.

Small world, isn't it?

If you tip over
you're gonna stay that way.

Now, look, Tia...

I know the first time
you met your father...

wasn't exactly
a family reunion...

but all he wants to do
is to talk to you.

[speaking in Vietnamese]

(Hannibal)
Thanks, Captain.

Now look, Tia, I know
you don't trust Fulbright.

You don't even know
what he's about.

But that could come with time, if
you'd take some time with him.

All I'd take is his life.

And they say
daughters want everything.

Circumstances dealt both of
you a pretty nasty blow.

But what's all this hatred about?
You don't even know the man.

I know enough.

I know what he did
to my mother.

How he used her...

lied to her and left her.

It was a strange
time then, Tia...

nothing you could
ever understand.

Nothing you could
ever understand!

But he left us!

He left Vietnam.

He didn't know about you.

Now it's obvious
you know that.

Or why did you send a letter
telling him he had a son?

He knew she was pregnant!

I wrote I was a boy because
of the type of man he is.

I knew having a boy...

someone like himself,
would please him.

Why are you so sure he knew your
mother was going to have a baby?

Mama protected him...

always.

She was brainwashed
by you Americans.

My Linh finally told me--

My Linh?

Is she the one who poisoned
you against your father?

He is not my father!
He is my enemy!

Whoever he is, he's waiting
up the river for you.

And the two of you
are gonna have a talk.

When that's finished, you can
both do whatever you want.

Now, would you like to walk up
there like a little lady...

or do you wanna go
over my shoulder?

I will listen to him...

and then I will k*ll him.

[birds chirping]

[man shouting in Vietnamese]

[man shouting in Vietnamese]

Now I believe we're back.

[people shouting]

Okay, honey,
you just enlisted.

I want you to go into your
house and draw those men out.

No!
Think about it...

as helping yourself.

That Vietnamese Colonel
said...

he wanted the girl, preferably alive.
Which means dead...

is okay with him.

You're not on the side of the
angels anymore, sweetheart.

My Linh turned you in
along with your Daddy.

[mumbling]
No!

They were only after
Fulbright and me.

And now they're
after you.

How would else do you think
they found out suddenly...

that you're in on
all this?

My Linh is like
my own mother.

This My Linh, she's turning
out to be a lot of things.

Why do we want
those men?

They're gonna be our method
to get Fulbright back.

Whether you wanna k*ll him
or hug him...

we gotta get him
back first.

[man shouting in Vietnamese]

[g*n f*ring]

[splashing]

(Face) Looks like
their boat, Colonel.

It would help if we knew
what we were going in against.

(B.A.) The only way in
is through the door...

and the window
on the north side.

Maybe we can get somebody
to climb that tree.

Tia, you did pretty good
on that drain pipe.

We'll wait here for you.

[loading]

Why?

Why did your daughter
call you here?

Is she part
of the underground movement?

She's been working for
the Americans all along.

You use your own daughter.

Why did you ask My Linh
about your child?

I tried to tell her
what you are...

but she wouldn't listen.

I told her
not to have your baby.

Not to have
your American child!

Who now grows up...

and we have one more traitor
in our country.

Drop dead.

[yelling]

[groaning]
cr*pple me.

k*ll me.

I've got no daughter!

If it won't
change anything...

then we may as well.

[whispering]
Sit down.

How many are there?

Is Fulbright all right?

He's alive.

[sobbing]
He...

My Linh is there.

They got her, too?

She's not a prisoner.

She's 3..

Well, how many
are there?

Three, counting
Colonel Sieu.

Sieu?

He's a colonel
in the army.

He hates
the United States.

[man groaning]

Hannibal,
we got company!

[g*ns f*ring]

[g*ns f*ring]

[screaming]

Let's go, Colonel!

[groaning]

You all right?

We may not make it to Texarkana but
I think we'll make it to the plane.

[gasping]

[gasping]
Last time I saw you...

you were trying to k*ll me.

Oh, you're so pretty.

Not like her old man.

Smith...

[gasping]
you and your men...

are good soldiers.

I'm glad...

we ended up
on the same side.

[sobbing]

Well, how was
Beverly Hills?

Expensive.

That, young lady,
is a door.

You see, you open it
to get in the car.

I'm sorry, Mr. Faceman.

Just call me Face.

He bought me all these new,
interesting clothes.

How'd you afford
all this stuff?

Well, I figured as long as we're still
wanted men, you know, why not go for it?

In for a penny, in for--
$2,000?

What?

I will pay you back, Face.

I'll repay all of you
for what you have done for me.

You will see, I won't be
just an extra burden to you.

Tia, I don't think
you understand something.

We brought you out of
Vietnam because you're...

Now you're wanted,
you're a criminal.

You'd be hunted
by the government.

And that's
our situation here.

Yeah, you see,
it's a very irregular job.

We never eat on time.

Yeah, besides, B.A.,
he's got a terrible temper.

I do not!

See?

What was my home
for 20 years...

no longer is.
I don't belong here.

I'm without papers...

or proof of
who my father was.

If I am caught...

what will happen to me?

Maybe you can stick with us
till we figure something out.

Can we celebrate?

Can we go to those nightclubs
Face told me about?

Nightclubs?

Yes, well, I was, you know,
explaining to her certain aspects...

of American life,
but for when she's older.

Never mind. Can we just get
something to eat?

Sure. Follow us.

Colonel, Colonel,
can I ask you a question?

Before we went back...

did you think about it?

I remembered it...

[helicopter whirring]

but I didn't think about it.
