03x13 - Breakout!

Post by bunniefuu »

Luck is on our side now.

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

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

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.

Uh, we train dogs.

Can you help me get this big guy
in the back of the truck here?

What the hell's going on here?

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

You are dead meat.

Let's just hope
that they get here fast.

Where did you learn
to drive like that?

Does he look like the kind of guy
who would thr*aten somebody?

You got something to say?

(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.

[g*n f*ring]

[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 sh**ting 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.

[g*n f*ring]

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 g*ns, 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 K*llers 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 thr*aten 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 sh**t 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 k*ller 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.

m*llitary 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 m*llitary 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 Becker'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 g*ng of prisoners
I got to watch out for here.

And I got a .38 special
says otherwise.

[g*n f*ring]

Now you tell them
to drop their weapons.

All right. Put your g*ns 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) ls 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? g*nsh*t 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 k*ll 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 BA. 'nun'? (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]

N'[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 su1c1de. 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.

[g*n f*ring]

[g*ns f*ring]

[g*n f*ring]

Stay down!

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

It's a little backup
when we run out of amm*nit*on.

Now, I need a pair of pliers.

In the drawer.

[g*ns continue f*ring]

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

I can't believe that we're
fugitives from a chain g*ng.

Manacled together, partners in
a desperate bid for freedom.

Two men alone
against the odds.

And 100 men out to get us
with orders: "sh**t to k*ll."

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, m*llitary 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.

[g*ns f*ring]

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]

[r*fle f*ring]

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.

[g*ns continue f*ring]

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 d*ed, 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 a*mo.

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.

[expl*si*n 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 g*ng...

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.
