1
00:00:00,317 --> 00:00:02,111
Good evening. I'm standing
inside the entrance
2
00:00:02,194 --> 00:00:03,821
to Fort Owen in
Southern California,
3
00:00:03,862 --> 00:00:05,739
where, in a heavily
guarded stockade,
4
00:00:05,906 --> 00:00:09,701
the most infamous war criminals in
US military history are confined.
5
00:00:09,827 --> 00:00:11,995
Their names are
already familiar to us:
6
00:00:12,079 --> 00:00:14,957
Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith,
Lieutenant Templeton Peck,
7
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,253
and Sergeant B.A. Baracus, the
legendary A-Team of the Vietnam War.
8
00:00:19,336 --> 00:00:22,005
Former war heroes
turned popular cult figures,
9
00:00:22,047 --> 00:00:25,926
they were finally captured after
nearly 15 grueling years as fugitives
10
00:00:25,968 --> 00:00:27,928
running from
their own government.
11
00:00:28,178 --> 00:00:29,429
They've been through a lot.
12
00:00:29,513 --> 00:00:32,141
But now the most difficult
challenge ever faced by the A-Team
13
00:00:32,224 --> 00:00:33,350
is about to begin.
14
00:00:33,392 --> 00:00:35,269
A military court-martial.
15
00:00:35,519 --> 00:00:39,398
Reporting live from Fort Owen in
southern California, this is Tiiu Leek.
16
00:02:39,309 --> 00:02:42,062
So, this is where they are.
17
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:44,523
The A-Team? Yes, sir.
18
00:02:45,399 --> 00:02:47,651
They're in an area below
in the stockade.
19
00:02:47,818 --> 00:02:49,444
But with all due respect,
Major, from what I hear,
20
00:02:49,528 --> 00:02:51,071
it'll be no easy trick
holdin' onto 'em.
21
00:02:51,154 --> 00:02:54,825
From what I hear, you are
absolutely right, Corporal.
22
00:03:12,843 --> 00:03:14,094
As you were.
23
00:03:30,068 --> 00:03:31,278
Major Laskov, sir.
24
00:03:31,361 --> 00:03:34,156
Major Laskov, I've heard
some good things about you.
25
00:03:34,281 --> 00:03:35,824
You may stand at ease.
26
00:03:36,575 --> 00:03:41,079
Conviction, conviction,
conviction again.
27
00:03:42,456 --> 00:03:44,916
Your prosecution record's
real impressive, Major.
28
00:03:45,083 --> 00:03:47,586
Everybody in Washington's
talking about you.
29
00:03:48,295 --> 00:03:51,006
I trust we picked the right
man to handle this case?
30
00:03:51,131 --> 00:03:52,632
I believe you did,
General. Yes.
31
00:03:52,758 --> 00:03:56,011
Convicting the A-Team is awfully
important to a lot of people.
32
00:03:56,261 --> 00:03:57,429
I understand, sir.
33
00:03:57,512 --> 00:04:00,807
I'm here to see to it that
you really do understand.
34
00:04:02,059 --> 00:04:03,477
Now, Major Laskov,
35
00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:06,772
that these men have evaded capture
and repeatedly humiliated us
36
00:04:06,855 --> 00:04:08,774
on Capitol Hill
is readily apparent.
37
00:04:09,024 --> 00:04:12,027
But the Joint Chiefs are far more
concerned about something else.
38
00:04:12,402 --> 00:04:15,697
This so-called heroic legend
39
00:04:15,781 --> 00:04:18,533
that Smith, Peck, and Baracus
have created for themselves
40
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:20,535
is a slap in the face
to every man and woman
41
00:04:20,619 --> 00:04:22,537
that honorably served
in Southeast Asia.
42
00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:25,749
Well, hell, the A-Team is an insult
to anybody who ever wore a uniform.
43
00:04:25,832 --> 00:04:27,501
I couldn't agree
with you more, sir.
44
00:04:27,626 --> 00:04:30,170
And we are fully prepared
to see that justice is served.
45
00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:32,714
Well, would you like me to show
you a list of everybody else
46
00:04:32,798 --> 00:04:35,217
who thought they were
prepared for the A-Team?
47
00:04:36,385 --> 00:04:41,098
Hannibal Smith is rather adept at
invoking the element of surprise, Major.
48
00:04:41,515 --> 00:04:44,101
With all due respect, sir,
I don't think Colonel Smith's
49
00:04:44,226 --> 00:04:47,646
unorthodox strategies will be very
effective in the face of a court-martial.
50
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:53,735
The A-Team will discover that the
element of surprise is ours this time.
51
00:04:55,904 --> 00:05:01,076
And so, after hitting that crucial
home run in the bottom of the ninth,
52
00:05:01,159 --> 00:05:05,580
we won the orphanage league
softball championship and I...
53
00:05:05,705 --> 00:05:10,085
I suddenly found myself
as somewhat of a celebrity.
54
00:05:10,252 --> 00:05:11,294
Yeah, celebrity,
55
00:05:11,378 --> 00:05:16,091
with all 315 young ladies
56
00:05:16,174 --> 00:05:18,260
at Saint Teresa's.
57
00:05:20,512 --> 00:05:23,515
Of course, I was only
13 years old at the time,
58
00:05:23,598 --> 00:05:26,101
but I like to think
of that experience
59
00:05:26,184 --> 00:05:30,981
as when I first discovered
my real calling in life.
60
00:05:32,482 --> 00:05:33,567
Yeah.
61
00:05:33,650 --> 00:05:35,152
Did anyone ever tell you
62
00:05:35,277 --> 00:05:39,364
that you have a very,
very special way with people?
63
00:05:40,198 --> 00:05:42,451
No. Apparently not.
64
00:05:42,951 --> 00:05:44,870
You're wasting your time, Face.
65
00:05:45,162 --> 00:05:48,248
These guys all went to
the Decker School of Charm.
66
00:05:48,415 --> 00:05:50,584
Yeah. You might be right.
67
00:05:50,917 --> 00:05:55,213
Still I can't help but feel, we
could've had so much in common.
68
00:05:55,297 --> 00:05:56,339
Hey, Faceman,
69
00:05:56,423 --> 00:05:59,468
if you don't stop all your jibber jabber,
you're gonna have my fist in common!
70
00:05:59,593 --> 00:06:01,803
Don't pay any attention to him.
71
00:06:01,928 --> 00:06:06,475
He's always this way during the
first few years of a life sentence.
72
00:06:08,393 --> 00:06:09,811
Oh, cheer up, guys.
73
00:06:10,562 --> 00:06:12,898
I think I hear room service.
74
00:06:15,567 --> 00:06:19,237
I hope you brought B.A.'s milk
and cookies. He gets cranky.
75
00:06:19,863 --> 00:06:21,698
Somebody's here to see you, sir!
76
00:06:24,576 --> 00:06:27,287
Gentlemen, I've never
been one to mince words,
77
00:06:28,955 --> 00:06:31,416
and I have no intention
of starting now.
78
00:06:34,377 --> 00:06:37,797
The government has had years
to build a case against you.
79
00:06:38,465 --> 00:06:41,176
I don't believe you have
much chance of winning.
80
00:06:41,259 --> 00:06:44,221
Well, winning isn't everything,
as my daddy used to say.
81
00:06:44,346 --> 00:06:46,640
In a court of law, it's the
only thing, Colonel Smith.
82
00:06:46,723 --> 00:06:49,726
Wait a minute, what do you mean, "We
don't have much chance of winning"?
83
00:06:49,809 --> 00:06:52,562
I thought you were a hot-shot
criminal defense lawyer.
84
00:06:52,687 --> 00:06:54,189
Given the overwhelming evidence,
85
00:06:54,272 --> 00:06:57,234
I'd much rather be prosecuting
than defending you, Lieutenant.
86
00:06:57,359 --> 00:07:00,612
Unfortunately, that job's
already been taken.
87
00:07:00,779 --> 00:07:02,489
As I told you,
I don't mince words.
88
00:07:02,572 --> 00:07:05,575
No, but your optimism
more than makes up for it.
89
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:09,037
If you feel that way about us, why
you take the case in the first place?
90
00:07:09,329 --> 00:07:12,749
I received a letter asking me
to look into the charges,
91
00:07:12,832 --> 00:07:17,921
from a very close friend
of yours, a Frank Santana.
92
00:07:19,214 --> 00:07:21,007
So I made a few phone calls.
93
00:07:21,132 --> 00:07:23,802
That was when I discovered that
the Army had assigned you a lawyer
94
00:07:23,927 --> 00:07:25,345
with very limited
trial experience.
95
00:07:25,428 --> 00:07:27,722
Clearly, nobody was
going out of his way
96
00:07:27,806 --> 00:07:30,684
to provide you with the best
defense the military has to offer.
97
00:07:30,809 --> 00:07:33,895
So you volunteered even though
you believe we're guilty?
98
00:07:33,979 --> 00:07:36,356
What I believe is
irrelevant, Colonel.
99
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:38,024
We didn't commit no crime!
100
00:07:38,108 --> 00:07:39,109
Can you prove that?
101
00:07:39,234 --> 00:07:41,236
B.A. Baracus don't lie!
102
00:07:44,573 --> 00:07:47,826
I'm afraid we're going to need
something a little more compelling
103
00:07:47,851 --> 00:07:49,187
than your word on this.
104
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,413
Take it easy, B.A.
105
00:07:51,496 --> 00:07:54,124
The prosecution
is prepared to deal.
106
00:07:55,083 --> 00:07:57,335
Plead guilty on all counts
107
00:07:57,460 --> 00:08:01,214
to charges of robbery,
treason, and desertion,
108
00:08:01,298 --> 00:08:05,427
or face trial on the somewhat
more serious charge of murder,
109
00:08:05,552 --> 00:08:07,012
Colonel Morrison
being the victim.
110
00:08:07,095 --> 00:08:08,305
Some choice.
111
00:08:08,430 --> 00:08:13,476
Especially seeing that Colonel
Morrison died in an artillery barrage.
112
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,105
Captain Josh Curtis claims
he can place you at the scene.
113
00:08:17,230 --> 00:08:18,690
Curtis is lyin'!
114
00:08:18,982 --> 00:08:20,775
The choice is yours, gentlemen.
115
00:08:22,027 --> 00:08:23,361
I strongly recommend
116
00:08:23,486 --> 00:08:26,990
you consider
the prosecution's offer.
117
00:08:27,157 --> 00:08:32,454
Prison beats execution any day.
118
00:08:33,663 --> 00:08:37,417
I'm only sorry I won't be there to
see the joyful tear in Decker's eye
119
00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:39,127
when he hears about all this.
120
00:08:39,586 --> 00:08:41,004
I know what you mean.
121
00:08:41,171 --> 00:08:44,174
Hey, Hannibal, you think somebody
really did kill Colonel Morrison?
122
00:08:44,257 --> 00:08:45,550
I don't know.
Where we're concerned,
123
00:08:45,592 --> 00:08:47,177
the Army's capable of anything,
124
00:08:47,260 --> 00:08:50,055
but I don't think they'd
manufacture a lie like that.
125
00:08:50,972 --> 00:08:53,183
What bothers me
is where it could lead.
126
00:08:53,433 --> 00:08:56,144
Why would the idea of
a firing squad bother you?
127
00:08:56,436 --> 00:08:58,521
Face, are those guards
still out of sight?
128
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,404
Yeah.
129
00:09:07,072 --> 00:09:08,573
I'm worried about Murdock.
130
00:09:08,698 --> 00:09:09,824
What about Murdock?
131
00:09:09,866 --> 00:09:13,703
I mean, as far as they're concerned,
he's just our chopper pilot.
132
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:15,747
Yeah, but think about
somethin' for a minute.
133
00:09:16,456 --> 00:09:20,377
When we left for Hanoi, Morrison
was still breathing, right?
134
00:09:20,543 --> 00:09:21,586
Sure.
135
00:09:21,711 --> 00:09:24,089
He's the one that gave us the
final go-ahead on the mission.
136
00:09:24,255 --> 00:09:26,549
And who was the last one
to see Morrison alive?
137
00:09:26,675 --> 00:09:31,638
Well, Murdock reported back
to HQ after dropping us off.
138
00:09:31,763 --> 00:09:33,056
What you trying to say?
139
00:09:33,139 --> 00:09:35,141
Crazy Man Murdock
didn't kill nobody.
140
00:09:35,266 --> 00:09:38,561
I know that, B.A.
And you know that.
141
00:09:38,978 --> 00:09:41,648
But is that what
the prosecutor would think?
142
00:10:06,214 --> 00:10:08,383
Hey, Murdock,
how's it going, huh?
143
00:10:08,508 --> 00:10:10,218
As if you didn't know.
144
00:10:11,177 --> 00:10:14,013
Listen, I was thinking, maybe I could
watch some of the trial with you.
145
00:10:14,097 --> 00:10:16,349
You know, lend a little
support to our boys.
146
00:10:16,683 --> 00:10:18,059
I wanna talk to you, come on.
147
00:10:18,184 --> 00:10:19,561
Hey, hey. Stop.
148
00:10:19,728 --> 00:10:21,980
I just wanna make a little
correction to something you said.
149
00:10:22,063 --> 00:10:24,399
See, it's not "our boys,"
150
00:10:24,607 --> 00:10:26,568
it's "my boys."
Not "our boys."
151
00:10:26,609 --> 00:10:29,654
Okay, okay.
What do you want from me?
152
00:10:29,988 --> 00:10:33,074
I already told you Stockwell
made me do it, didn't I?
153
00:10:33,283 --> 00:10:34,576
Oh, that's right, yeah.
154
00:10:34,701 --> 00:10:37,162
He was holding up your dear
father's pension checks, right?
155
00:10:37,245 --> 00:10:39,748
Well, that's a touching
fiction, Frankie.
156
00:10:39,831 --> 00:10:41,541
That was for real, Murdock.
157
00:10:41,708 --> 00:10:45,795
And besides, who was it that got the best
lawyer around to handle the case, huh?
158
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:47,630
Frankie Santana, that's who.
159
00:10:47,714 --> 00:10:51,301
Well, lucky for Frankie Santana
that Hannibal believes you.
160
00:10:56,431 --> 00:10:58,016
What's he doin' here?
161
00:10:59,851 --> 00:11:02,604
Now you've got somebody
you can watch the trial with.
162
00:11:09,402 --> 00:11:11,821
Mr. Curtis, how did you
come to know the accused?
163
00:11:12,655 --> 00:11:15,950
I met them in Vietnam while serving
with the late Colonel Sam Morrison.
164
00:11:16,034 --> 00:11:17,660
And how long were you
with Colonel Morrison?
165
00:11:17,827 --> 00:11:18,912
Two years, sir.
166
00:11:19,162 --> 00:11:22,207
Until he was murdered
in January of 1971.
167
00:11:22,290 --> 00:11:25,919
Objection. The issue of murder is the
ultimate legal issue before this court
168
00:11:26,002 --> 00:11:29,422
to be determined by this
honorable body, not by the witness.
169
00:11:29,506 --> 00:11:32,008
All right, check it out.
170
00:11:32,383 --> 00:11:34,469
My man, Bennie. All his
friends call him Bennie.
171
00:11:34,552 --> 00:11:36,513
He's gonna make mincemeat
out of these bozos.
172
00:11:36,638 --> 00:11:38,973
Your honor, Colonel
Morrison's body was exhumed
173
00:11:39,057 --> 00:11:41,309
from Arlington National
Cemetery last week.
174
00:11:41,810 --> 00:11:43,728
I make an offer of
proof to this court,
175
00:11:43,937 --> 00:11:46,439
and let the record reflect
that I now submit
176
00:11:46,689 --> 00:11:51,152
the official pathology findings of
the Army's Medical Corps director.
177
00:11:51,778 --> 00:11:54,239
Colonel Morrison was murdered.
178
00:11:54,697 --> 00:11:58,993
Shot twice at close range,
prior to the enemy shelling.
179
00:11:59,285 --> 00:12:01,996
I acknowledge prior receipt
of this report, your honor,
180
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,541
but object to its entry into
evidence on the grounds of hearsay.
181
00:12:04,624 --> 00:12:08,002
Overruled, Mr. Conway.
You may proceed, Major.
182
00:12:08,211 --> 00:12:11,589
Just exactly when do we get to
the "mincemeat" part, Frankie?
183
00:12:11,714 --> 00:12:12,966
Are you kidding me?
184
00:12:13,091 --> 00:12:16,553
See, he's just letting them get
a false sense of security, see.
185
00:12:16,719 --> 00:12:21,391
Mr. Curtis, please tell this court
exactly what happened on 27 January, 1971.
186
00:12:21,558 --> 00:12:23,434
Colonel Morrison told me
that he had discovered
187
00:12:23,518 --> 00:12:26,938
that Smith, Peck,
and Baracus had planned on
188
00:12:27,146 --> 00:12:29,023
robbing the Bank of Hanoi.
189
00:12:29,566 --> 00:12:31,401
The Colonel's signature
had been forged
190
00:12:31,484 --> 00:12:35,113
on orders requesting
a helicopter for that mission.
191
00:12:35,446 --> 00:12:38,199
The Colonel had always
trusted the A-Team implicitly.
192
00:12:38,283 --> 00:12:40,702
This news
was quite a shock to him.
193
00:12:40,785 --> 00:12:42,245
Objection, your honor.
194
00:12:42,328 --> 00:12:46,165
This man's entire testimony is based
on nothing but hearsay and speculation.
195
00:12:46,249 --> 00:12:48,001
It lacks foundation.
196
00:12:48,167 --> 00:12:49,544
Okay. Now, pay attention,
amigo.
197
00:12:49,669 --> 00:12:51,629
We're gonna show them how
we do it in the big leagues.
198
00:12:51,796 --> 00:12:55,174
I offer into evidence
the same offer of proof.
199
00:12:55,466 --> 00:12:57,886
A duplicate of the
document in question.
200
00:12:58,094 --> 00:13:01,723
Handwriting experts confirm
that Colonel Morrison's signature
201
00:13:01,806 --> 00:13:04,309
is, in fact, a forgery
202
00:13:04,976 --> 00:13:07,478
in the hand of
Lieutenant Templeton Peck.
203
00:13:07,645 --> 00:13:09,063
Best evidence rule, your honor,
204
00:13:09,147 --> 00:13:12,066
unless the prosecution can
show location and condition
205
00:13:12,150 --> 00:13:16,112
of the original documents,
how can we rely on mere copies?
206
00:13:16,696 --> 00:13:20,450
This document had its origin
in the combat zone, Mr. Conway.
207
00:13:20,909 --> 00:13:23,745
We will allow the duplicates
for what they're worth.
208
00:13:25,121 --> 00:13:28,583
Well, I think things are going
rather nicely so far, don't you?
209
00:13:29,375 --> 00:13:31,294
I don't know where
he got that phony paper.
210
00:13:31,377 --> 00:13:35,840
Morrison signed the orders in front
of me and handed them to me personally.
211
00:13:36,299 --> 00:13:38,009
Please continue,
Mr. Curtis.
212
00:13:39,761 --> 00:13:42,555
Well, I... I left
the GHQ for dinner.
213
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:46,935
Colonel Morrison said he was going
to stay there and confront the A-Team.
214
00:13:47,685 --> 00:13:50,438
When I returned,
I heard a very loud argument
215
00:13:50,521 --> 00:13:52,899
from the Colonel's office.
216
00:13:53,524 --> 00:13:54,943
The Colonel was saying,
217
00:13:55,234 --> 00:13:57,403
"Just because you're
a member of the A-Team,
218
00:13:57,487 --> 00:13:59,197
"doesn't mean you
can threaten me."
219
00:13:59,322 --> 00:14:01,950
Did you recognize the voice of
the man with Colonel Morrison?
220
00:14:02,075 --> 00:14:04,118
Yes, sir, I did. It was...
221
00:14:04,911 --> 00:14:07,580
It was one of the accused,
Colonel John Smith.
222
00:14:07,997 --> 00:14:10,833
I left immediately
to alert the MPs,
223
00:14:10,959 --> 00:14:14,963
but that was the exact same time that
the shelling began from the enemy.
224
00:14:15,672 --> 00:14:17,674
Our headquarters
took a direct hit.
225
00:14:17,757 --> 00:14:20,468
I didn't think anyone
could survive that explosion.
226
00:14:21,344 --> 00:14:23,179
As I looked through the smoke
and the flames,
227
00:14:23,262 --> 00:14:26,307
I did see someone run
from that building.
228
00:14:27,850 --> 00:14:30,395
I swear it was
Colonel John Smith.
229
00:14:30,937 --> 00:14:32,063
He's lyin'!
230
00:14:32,146 --> 00:14:34,232
Order! We was in North
Vietnam that night!
231
00:14:34,315 --> 00:14:36,150
This is contempt
of court, Sergeant.
232
00:14:36,234 --> 00:14:37,860
I'm not gonna sit down
and let that fool lie!
233
00:14:37,944 --> 00:14:39,278
Sit down!
234
00:14:40,905 --> 00:14:42,407
Restrain the accused!
235
00:14:43,116 --> 00:14:44,325
Order!
236
00:14:49,247 --> 00:14:50,623
Order!
237
00:14:57,672 --> 00:15:02,719
Your honor, Sergeant Baracus was
trying to say we didn't do it.
238
00:15:18,735 --> 00:15:20,820
Well, how thoughtful.
239
00:15:21,195 --> 00:15:23,656
They sent somebody
to tuck us in, guys.
240
00:15:27,118 --> 00:15:29,245
Come out,
come out, whoever you are.
241
00:15:30,121 --> 00:15:31,914
Thank you for coming, Colonel.
242
00:15:32,749 --> 00:15:35,168
I was in the neighborhood.
You?
243
00:15:35,334 --> 00:15:39,756
I'm hearing certain things about your
impending trial that concern me a great deal.
244
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:41,966
You're not the only one
who's concerned.
245
00:15:42,717 --> 00:15:46,095
When we first met to discuss
an association with the A-Team,
246
00:15:46,721 --> 00:15:48,723
I had no idea I was
employing murderers.
247
00:15:48,806 --> 00:15:49,974
You weren't.
248
00:15:50,558 --> 00:15:52,602
We didn't kill Colonel Morrison.
249
00:15:53,102 --> 00:15:56,814
Well, I understand the Army is reviewing
candidates for your firing squad.
250
00:15:57,023 --> 00:16:01,277
Oh, gee. You didn't have to go to
all this trouble just to cheer me up.
251
00:16:02,111 --> 00:16:04,864
Obviously, my initial
instincts were mistaken.
252
00:16:05,782 --> 00:16:07,492
I don't like to be wrong.
253
00:16:09,660 --> 00:16:11,329
Who are you, Stockwell?
254
00:16:11,412 --> 00:16:13,372
What's this midnight melodrama?
255
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:17,126
Well, just call me
an interested third party.
256
00:16:17,251 --> 00:16:18,878
Well, I've got
a suggestion for you.
257
00:16:18,961 --> 00:16:22,548
Obviously, somebody made
a deal with Josh Curtis.
258
00:16:22,673 --> 00:16:27,261
They agreed to layoff that
slime-ball, gun-running back of his,
259
00:16:27,386 --> 00:16:29,889
in return for
rolling over on the A-Team.
260
00:16:30,056 --> 00:16:32,350
Now, if you're really
interested in us,
261
00:16:32,683 --> 00:16:35,937
why don't you use your influence
in Washington to clear us?
262
00:16:36,395 --> 00:16:39,816
Are you suggesting that I interfere
with the due process of law?
263
00:16:43,194 --> 00:16:46,114
I figured I'd do better
with a firing squad.
264
00:16:57,750 --> 00:17:00,545
There's one question
that begs to be asked.
265
00:17:00,795 --> 00:17:03,881
Why'd you wait so long to come
forward with your testimony?
266
00:17:04,006 --> 00:17:06,509
The war has a way
of leaving very deep scars.
267
00:17:06,592 --> 00:17:09,428
It's been quite a few years since
I've been able to talk about it at all.
268
00:17:09,512 --> 00:17:11,639
Mr. Curtis, how do you
earn your living, sir?
269
00:17:11,722 --> 00:17:14,809
I'm self-employed. I'm in
the import-export field.
270
00:17:14,934 --> 00:17:17,895
And what sort of things
do you import and export, sir?
271
00:17:17,979 --> 00:17:20,857
Office equipment, farm
machinery, that sort of thing.
272
00:17:21,023 --> 00:17:22,900
- Weapons?
- Objection.
273
00:17:22,984 --> 00:17:25,736
I fail to see how this line
of questioning concerns us.
274
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:29,448
The integrity of these
proceedings very much concern us.
275
00:17:29,782 --> 00:17:34,726
This is an official, notarized Interpol
report to the French government,
276
00:17:34,787 --> 00:17:37,915
dated May 17th of this year,
277
00:17:37,999 --> 00:17:42,545
which describes the prosecution's
witness, Josh Curtis, as, and I quote,
278
00:17:42,753 --> 00:17:46,507
"A principle figure in
international gun smuggling."
279
00:17:46,632 --> 00:17:48,176
Objection overruled, Major.
280
00:17:49,093 --> 00:17:50,887
Thank you, your honor.
281
00:17:52,305 --> 00:17:55,224
So, Mr. Curtis.
What about these reports?
282
00:17:55,975 --> 00:17:58,895
Have you ever been
involved in gun smuggling?
283
00:18:02,273 --> 00:18:04,442
- Yes.
- No further questions, your honor.
284
00:18:04,775 --> 00:18:07,153
We're in the last reel
now, Madman.
285
00:18:07,612 --> 00:18:10,114
Benny's on the loose,
the opposition's on the run.
286
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,825
I wouldn't bet on it.
287
00:18:17,997 --> 00:18:21,834
I pursued Colonel Smith and
the A-Team for three long years.
288
00:18:22,126 --> 00:18:24,086
I lost track of how
many laws they broke,
289
00:18:24,170 --> 00:18:26,631
and how much military
property they destroyed.
290
00:18:26,923 --> 00:18:30,426
I can tell you this. Rules
mean nothing to these men,
291
00:18:30,509 --> 00:18:32,637
and they're loyal to
no one but themselves.
292
00:18:32,762 --> 00:18:37,058
I have no doubt that they're capable of
the crimes for which they are accused.
293
00:18:37,225 --> 00:18:38,267
What a guy.
294
00:18:38,392 --> 00:18:42,730
Colonel Decker, in those three long
years that you pursued the A-Team,
295
00:18:42,813 --> 00:18:47,276
were you ever aware of any civilians who
were in trouble that they might have helped?
296
00:18:47,693 --> 00:18:48,611
I was.
297
00:18:48,694 --> 00:18:50,571
In your estimation,
298
00:18:50,947 --> 00:18:54,867
how many civilians who were in trouble
did they help in those three years?
299
00:18:54,951 --> 00:18:56,827
- I wouldn't know.
- Well, take a guess.
300
00:18:56,911 --> 00:18:58,412
A dozen? Several dozen?
301
00:18:58,496 --> 00:19:00,539
Several dozen. But that
doesn't make it right.
302
00:19:00,581 --> 00:19:01,749
Thank you.
303
00:19:02,083 --> 00:19:03,960
No further questions,
your honor.
304
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,466
And like I said, before
I know what's happening,
305
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:13,177
those A-Team guys
is all over my case.
306
00:19:13,302 --> 00:19:15,763
I mean, they're wrecking
my auto-repair shop.
307
00:19:16,180 --> 00:19:20,913
Mr. Bertane, I call your attention to
these articles in Chicago newspapers.
308
00:19:22,103 --> 00:19:23,729
They're investigative reports
309
00:19:23,813 --> 00:19:26,649
about the proliferation
of stolen auto parts.
310
00:19:27,108 --> 00:19:28,609
Would you explain to this court
311
00:19:28,693 --> 00:19:32,363
why your name appears so
prominently in these articles?
312
00:19:32,446 --> 00:19:35,324
Objection! The witness
is not on trial here.
313
00:19:35,366 --> 00:19:36,242
He ought to be.
314
00:19:36,284 --> 00:19:39,453
Nobody has ever convicted
Marko Bertane of no crime!
315
00:19:39,578 --> 00:19:41,956
All I know is that
they wrecked my life
316
00:19:42,039 --> 00:19:45,084
and the business that my beloved
father built with his own hands!
317
00:19:45,167 --> 00:19:47,837
You guys are animals! I hope
you get what you deserve!
318
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,380
I know what you deserve, sucker!
319
00:19:49,463 --> 00:19:51,424
- Silence!
- Lying fool!
320
00:19:51,966 --> 00:19:54,552
Remove the prisoner and the
witness from the courtroom.
321
00:19:56,887 --> 00:19:58,764
Order!
Order in the courtroom.
322
00:20:06,939 --> 00:20:09,150
I thought we were beginning
to make some progress.
323
00:20:09,233 --> 00:20:12,862
Well, B.A.'s always been
just a bit high-strung.
324
00:20:13,070 --> 00:20:15,948
Look, if you want them
to believe you're innocent,
325
00:20:16,032 --> 00:20:19,243
the four of you are gonna have to
take the stand and convince them.
326
00:20:19,410 --> 00:20:20,828
What do you mean,
all four of us?
327
00:20:20,911 --> 00:20:24,081
They're planning to call your friend
Captain Murdock to testify against you.
328
00:20:24,206 --> 00:20:25,041
Murdock?
329
00:20:25,124 --> 00:20:27,793
I was wondering why they hadn't
named him in the original indictment.
330
00:20:28,419 --> 00:20:30,379
I think they plan to
break him down on the stand
331
00:20:30,463 --> 00:20:32,506
and then indict him
as a co-conspirator.
332
00:20:33,174 --> 00:20:35,801
Murdock on the stand.
333
00:20:37,094 --> 00:20:39,013
That should be interesting.
334
00:20:40,556 --> 00:20:44,101
Mr. Murdock, do you remember seeing
Colonel Morrison on the night in question?
335
00:20:44,268 --> 00:20:45,519
Certainly.
336
00:20:46,270 --> 00:20:51,442
I flew the accused to the
aforementioned Hanoi bank,
337
00:20:51,734 --> 00:20:55,112
and then I returned,
as per my orders,
338
00:20:55,196 --> 00:20:57,788
later that evening to Colonel...
339
00:20:59,283 --> 00:21:01,911
The late Colonel
Morrison's office.
340
00:21:01,994 --> 00:21:03,037
What time was this?
341
00:21:03,341 --> 00:21:04,580
About 8:00.
342
00:21:05,164 --> 00:21:07,333
This was before
the enemy shelling?
343
00:21:07,666 --> 00:21:11,295
Oh, yes. It was just before,
as a matter of fact.
344
00:21:11,379 --> 00:21:12,671
You see, that evening,
345
00:21:12,713 --> 00:21:17,301
there was a lot of enemy activity
as I returned to the base.
346
00:21:18,761 --> 00:21:20,846
And that's why I had to fly in
347
00:21:21,430 --> 00:21:24,934
fast and low.
348
00:21:29,105 --> 00:21:33,067
This is Captain Murdock, I'm
under attack! Mayday, mayday!
349
00:21:38,948 --> 00:21:40,783
I'm under attack!
Mayday!
350
00:21:40,866 --> 00:21:42,701
No, is it possible?
351
00:21:42,785 --> 00:21:45,830
Can someone make
a mayday call in January?
352
00:21:46,122 --> 00:21:48,137
Quick, someone bring me
an Army manual.
353
00:21:48,184 --> 00:21:51,460
Oh, I'm sorry, Captain. We
just ran out of Army manuals,
354
00:21:51,585 --> 00:21:53,754
and all we have left
are the Navy manuals
355
00:21:53,838 --> 00:21:56,966
and a few vegetarian
Boy Scout manuals.
356
00:21:57,216 --> 00:22:00,553
Then you'd better kiss me.
357
00:22:13,107 --> 00:22:15,442
I tried to run my ship
by the book,
358
00:22:15,526 --> 00:22:17,319
but how could I? I didn't
know where the manuals were.
359
00:22:17,403 --> 00:22:18,821
I mean, naturally I was upset.
360
00:22:18,904 --> 00:22:21,991
What kind of war was this, where
you run out of Army manuals.
361
00:22:22,283 --> 00:22:24,869
And all the officers,
they were all unreliable.
362
00:22:24,994 --> 00:22:26,745
They were all disloyal.
363
00:22:27,496 --> 00:22:30,332
That's where I had them,
I knew where the manuals were.
364
00:22:30,457 --> 00:22:32,668
They laughed at me
and they made jokes.
365
00:22:32,751 --> 00:22:35,171
But I proved beyond
the shadow of a doubt
366
00:22:35,254 --> 00:22:37,464
and with geometric logic
that a duplicate key
367
00:22:37,548 --> 00:22:39,383
to the wardroom
bookcase did exist.
368
00:22:39,466 --> 00:22:41,635
And I would have
produced that key, but...
369
00:22:53,355 --> 00:22:58,652
Naturally, I'm trying to
cover these things by memory,
370
00:22:58,819 --> 00:23:01,405
and if I've left anything out,
371
00:23:01,614 --> 00:23:04,825
you just ask me
specific questions
372
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:07,786
and I'll try to answer them
373
00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:11,624
one by one.
374
00:23:16,128 --> 00:23:18,047
No further questions,
your honor.
375
00:23:18,297 --> 00:23:22,593
As you know, Mr. Murdock resides in the
VA psychiatric facility in Los Angeles.
376
00:23:23,594 --> 00:23:25,221
- Thank you, Major Laskov.
- That's it.
377
00:23:25,971 --> 00:23:28,807
That's all they have. They
still haven't established motive.
378
00:23:28,933 --> 00:23:31,352
Why would you have wanted
to kill Colonel Morrison.
379
00:23:31,644 --> 00:23:33,395
Now it's up to us
to sell ourselves.
380
00:23:33,479 --> 00:23:35,606
You may call
your next witness, please.
381
00:23:35,814 --> 00:23:40,236
Colonel Smith, could you tell us about
your mission on the National Bank of Hanoi.
382
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:42,196
Well, the war had
dragged on and on.
383
00:23:42,279 --> 00:23:45,950
And then Colonel Morrison told me that
he had a secret mission for me and my team
384
00:23:46,033 --> 00:23:49,119
that could possibly
help end the war.
385
00:23:49,370 --> 00:23:51,163
And you were in favor of that?
386
00:23:51,288 --> 00:23:52,414
Who wouldn't be?
387
00:23:52,831 --> 00:23:56,961
Seems like an impossibly dangerous
thing to do to rob the Bank of Hanoi.
388
00:23:57,086 --> 00:23:58,462
How did you ever
hope to pull it off?
389
00:23:58,545 --> 00:24:01,757
It was January 27,
the Tet New Year.
390
00:24:02,091 --> 00:24:04,051
It's the biggest
holiday in Asia.
391
00:24:04,426 --> 00:24:07,429
We knew the streets in
Hanoi would be jammed.
392
00:24:10,849 --> 00:24:13,310
The plan was to
come in early Sunday morning.
393
00:24:13,769 --> 00:24:16,397
The Tet celebration was
really cooking in the streets.
394
00:24:16,522 --> 00:24:18,899
And everything went
according to schedule.
395
00:24:19,441 --> 00:24:23,988
Sergeant Baracus was to take out the
burglar alarm, while I handled the guards.
396
00:24:27,741 --> 00:24:30,619
While Sergeant Baracus set
the explosives on the safe,
397
00:24:30,786 --> 00:24:34,164
Lieutenant Peck was outside
obtaining a getaway vehicle.
398
00:24:53,309 --> 00:24:55,019
They didn't notice us
in the bank.
399
00:24:55,144 --> 00:24:57,646
We had the Army money
and then we hit a snag.
400
00:24:58,022 --> 00:25:00,733
Two NVA soldiers
decided to stop by
401
00:25:00,816 --> 00:25:03,485
and hang out right
by the getaway truck.
402
00:25:04,111 --> 00:25:07,698
This forced Lieutenant Peck
to commandeer another vehicle.
403
00:25:16,206 --> 00:25:18,584
When Sergeant Baracus appeared
at the window to investigate,
404
00:25:18,667 --> 00:25:20,002
all hell broke loose.
405
00:25:42,524 --> 00:25:45,819
That's quite a heroic saga, Colonel.
How much did you steal from the bank?
406
00:25:45,903 --> 00:25:47,279
Ten million piasters.
407
00:25:47,363 --> 00:25:50,699
That's about
one million US dollars.
408
00:25:51,408 --> 00:25:54,995
A Bank of Hanoi audit shows
a loss of 50 million piasters.
409
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:57,623
Then some North Vietnamese
got very rich.
410
00:25:57,748 --> 00:25:59,333
All we got was 10 million.
411
00:25:59,416 --> 00:26:00,751
You insult this court, Colonel.
412
00:26:00,834 --> 00:26:02,044
Objection!
413
00:26:02,127 --> 00:26:04,254
Counsel is arguing
with the accused.
414
00:26:04,338 --> 00:26:05,422
Sustained.
415
00:26:05,798 --> 00:26:08,550
The fact is that Colonel
Morrison discovered your plan
416
00:26:08,634 --> 00:26:11,343
and you weren't about to let him stand
in the way of 50 million piasters.
417
00:26:11,374 --> 00:26:13,972
- Isn't that right?
- We wouldn't kill Colonel Morrison.
418
00:26:14,056 --> 00:26:16,350
- Have you ever killed anybody?
- In war, of course I did.
419
00:26:16,433 --> 00:26:18,060
Then you are capable
of taking a human life.
420
00:26:18,143 --> 00:26:22,815
That's what you do
in a war to an enemy.
421
00:26:23,065 --> 00:26:25,567
Colonel Morrison
was not an enemy.
422
00:26:25,692 --> 00:26:28,612
So the distinction is that
killing the Viet Cong was okay?
423
00:26:28,695 --> 00:26:30,072
Now who's insulting the court?
424
00:26:30,155 --> 00:26:32,241
Just answer the question,
Colonel.
425
00:26:32,533 --> 00:26:35,452
The Viet Cong was the enemy.
426
00:26:36,662 --> 00:26:39,206
They killed us, we killed them.
427
00:26:47,381 --> 00:26:48,590
Your honor,
428
00:26:49,091 --> 00:26:51,718
it may be true that money alone
429
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,346
was not enough of a motive
for killing Colonel Morrison.
430
00:26:54,430 --> 00:26:57,474
Colonel Smith would have us believe
there was no motive whatsoever
431
00:26:57,599 --> 00:27:00,352
for murdering a
respected senior officer.
432
00:27:00,477 --> 00:27:03,397
Therefore, I would like to submit
as rebuttal evidence at this time,
433
00:27:03,522 --> 00:27:05,023
a significant new document
434
00:27:05,107 --> 00:27:08,402
which has only just now been
declassified and come into my possession.
435
00:27:09,319 --> 00:27:14,408
It is secret congressional testimony on
the US conduct of the Vietnam conflict,
436
00:27:14,533 --> 00:27:18,871
by one Colonel Chun Van Quyet
437
00:27:19,163 --> 00:27:20,581
of the North Vietnamese Army.
438
00:27:20,664 --> 00:27:23,709
Objection! This eleventh-hour
maneuver must be disallowed
439
00:27:23,792 --> 00:27:27,421
on the grounds that Colonel Quyet
is not here for cross examination.
440
00:27:27,504 --> 00:27:31,592
Your honor, in exchange for his valuable
cooperation with postwar intelligence,
441
00:27:31,675 --> 00:27:33,552
the Army provided Colonel Quyet
442
00:27:33,594 --> 00:27:36,597
with a confidential,
new identity in this country.
443
00:27:36,722 --> 00:27:40,392
While I know no precedents, I'll
take the evidence under advisement.
444
00:27:40,726 --> 00:27:45,522
You will note that on page 1174,
445
00:27:45,814 --> 00:27:49,318
Colonel Quyet has documented
a list of 20 American soldiers
446
00:27:49,443 --> 00:27:53,071
who provided information to the North
Vietnamese Army in exchange for money.
447
00:27:53,155 --> 00:27:54,615
At the top of that list
448
00:27:54,823 --> 00:27:58,285
you will find the name
of one Samuel Morrison,
449
00:27:58,410 --> 00:28:01,121
Colonel, United States Army.
450
00:28:01,246 --> 00:28:02,414
Colonel Smith,
451
00:28:02,623 --> 00:28:05,209
I submit that you, Lieutenant
Peck, and Sergeant Baracus
452
00:28:05,334 --> 00:28:07,252
discovered that Morrison
was working with the enemy.
453
00:28:07,336 --> 00:28:10,047
You acted as judge and jury, you
took the law into your own hands,
454
00:28:10,130 --> 00:28:11,715
and killed him in cold blood.
455
00:28:13,550 --> 00:28:17,095
Gentlemen, if you have
a rabbit under those hats,
456
00:28:17,179 --> 00:28:19,389
I suggest you let him out now.
457
00:28:28,649 --> 00:28:30,484
Hey, slow down a minute,
will you? Where you going?
458
00:28:30,567 --> 00:28:31,610
I don't have time to chat.
459
00:28:31,693 --> 00:28:34,821
I know where you're going. You're
going after that Colonel Quyet, huh?
460
00:28:35,030 --> 00:28:37,783
You figured he would've known Morrison
sent you on that mission, right?
461
00:28:37,991 --> 00:28:40,410
- Right.
- Well, did it ever occur to you
462
00:28:40,494 --> 00:28:42,538
that maybe you're gonna
need some help, huh?
463
00:28:42,746 --> 00:28:44,289
Old Frankie Santana
can improve the odds.
464
00:28:44,373 --> 00:28:46,375
Now I gotta tell you, I'm getting
sick and tired of Frankie Santana.
465
00:28:46,458 --> 00:28:48,293
Here we go again.
Murdock!
466
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:51,088
Besides me, who's the one guy
who seems to know everything, huh?
467
00:28:52,548 --> 00:28:53,257
Stockwell.
468
00:28:53,382 --> 00:28:55,884
Twenty bucks says he's
got Quyet on ice someplace.
469
00:28:55,968 --> 00:28:56,927
Yeah?
470
00:29:13,318 --> 00:29:17,281
Hey, you forgot. I have his home
number. That's okay, I forgive you.
471
00:29:18,615 --> 00:29:20,284
Empress 12, urgent.
472
00:29:24,246 --> 00:29:26,540
Frankie Santana's
trying to reach you, sir.
473
00:29:31,962 --> 00:29:34,172
They want information on Quyet.
474
00:29:35,632 --> 00:29:36,800
Ignore him.
475
00:29:46,226 --> 00:29:47,477
Pizza parlor?
476
00:29:48,478 --> 00:29:50,022
How could it be a pizza parlor?
477
00:29:51,148 --> 00:29:52,733
Never mind.
Never mind, son.
478
00:29:53,108 --> 00:29:55,569
This isn't a job for
ordinary men, anyway.
479
00:29:55,736 --> 00:29:58,113
This takes a special breed.
480
00:30:02,284 --> 00:30:04,828
Special breed? What are you
talking about, Murdock?
481
00:30:09,791 --> 00:30:12,377
Now, repeat after me.
Fly by night.
482
00:30:12,461 --> 00:30:15,881
- Repeat after me. Fly by night,
- Fly by night,
483
00:30:15,964 --> 00:30:17,924
- laugh and say,
- laugh and say,
484
00:30:18,050 --> 00:30:21,928
beating up bad guys
makes my day.
485
00:30:22,429 --> 00:30:24,097
What'd you eat for lunch, man?
486
00:30:24,973 --> 00:30:28,310
That's the credo of the
Flying Nighthawk Commando.
487
00:30:28,644 --> 00:30:30,062
Words to live by.
488
00:30:35,651 --> 00:30:37,152
You'll get the hang of it.
489
00:30:48,455 --> 00:30:51,041
Colonel Morrison, an NVA agent.
490
00:30:51,124 --> 00:30:52,459
I just can't believe it.
491
00:30:52,542 --> 00:30:53,794
Seems to be true.
492
00:30:53,877 --> 00:30:57,422
Even so, surely the court would need
more than that to convict us of murder.
493
00:30:57,547 --> 00:31:01,593
Ever watch Perry Mason, Face?
Motive, method, opportunity.
494
00:31:01,677 --> 00:31:02,886
That's what he always
looked for,
495
00:31:03,011 --> 00:31:05,055
and that's what that
prosecutor says he's got on us.
496
00:31:05,138 --> 00:31:06,515
Well, what are we gonna do?
497
00:31:08,016 --> 00:31:09,643
I think we're gonna get nailed.
498
00:31:09,810 --> 00:31:11,019
Just checking.
499
00:31:11,103 --> 00:31:14,231
Crazy Man said he was at headquarters
when Colonel Morrison was killed.
500
00:31:14,314 --> 00:31:16,024
- So?
- So he never told us that.
501
00:31:16,149 --> 00:31:17,150
Maybe he forgot.
502
00:31:17,234 --> 00:31:20,237
How could you just forget
something like that?
503
00:31:20,362 --> 00:31:22,030
The human mind's
a funny thing, Face.
504
00:31:22,106 --> 00:31:25,283
Sometimes it tries
to protects us
505
00:31:25,367 --> 00:31:27,994
by blocking out
unpleasant experience.
506
00:31:29,121 --> 00:31:30,956
You think Murdock could have
killed Colonel Morrison?
507
00:31:31,081 --> 00:31:32,416
That's impossible.
508
00:31:33,375 --> 00:31:36,253
If you found out Morrison
was working for the Viet Cong,
509
00:31:36,378 --> 00:31:37,587
what would you have done?
510
00:31:45,804 --> 00:31:47,264
We've been here
all night, Murdock.
511
00:31:47,347 --> 00:31:50,600
Never say die, son.
That's the first commandment.
512
00:31:50,767 --> 00:31:52,477
All clear on the perimeter.
513
00:31:53,186 --> 00:31:55,772
Wow, you know, I've always
wanted to wear a hat like this.
514
00:31:55,856 --> 00:31:57,441
You know, it's like
a dream come true.
515
00:31:57,524 --> 00:32:02,070
The second commandment,
soldier, is never say "wow."
516
00:32:02,195 --> 00:32:03,613
I have to work on it.
517
00:32:07,325 --> 00:32:10,787
Man, I'm not gonna make any
promises on this mission.
518
00:32:10,871 --> 00:32:12,330
You already know the score.
519
00:32:12,539 --> 00:32:15,208
Three of our flyboys
are down behind enemy lines,
520
00:32:15,292 --> 00:32:16,960
and they need our help.
521
00:32:17,043 --> 00:32:18,295
It's not gonna be a cakewalk
522
00:32:18,378 --> 00:32:19,546
and some of us ain't coming back
523
00:32:19,671 --> 00:32:21,131
for Thanksgiving dinner
and pumpkin pie.
524
00:32:21,214 --> 00:32:22,883
But are you with me?
525
00:32:25,886 --> 00:32:28,430
It's a damn fine
bunch of boys, Frankie.
526
00:32:28,513 --> 00:32:29,765
Okay.
527
00:32:30,223 --> 00:32:31,641
Well, this puppy's set to pop.
528
00:32:31,767 --> 00:32:33,810
You and your friends might
wanna step back for this.
529
00:32:50,410 --> 00:32:54,539
The third commandment is never
leave your cap in plain sight.
530
00:32:54,748 --> 00:32:56,124
That's a good one.
531
00:32:57,417 --> 00:32:58,627
Now!
532
00:33:03,590 --> 00:33:05,592
Whoa, man, did you see that?
533
00:33:05,717 --> 00:33:07,594
Put three cameras on this,
with a little backlight
534
00:33:07,677 --> 00:33:09,763
and bee smoke, and we're
talking masterpiece theater.
535
00:33:09,846 --> 00:33:13,099
Men. Men,
the A-Team brief.
536
00:33:13,308 --> 00:33:15,393
Find Colonel Quyet's address.
537
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,562
Get a copy of the A-Team brief.
538
00:33:17,729 --> 00:33:20,065
With all this help,
how could we miss it, huh?
539
00:33:20,148 --> 00:33:21,399
Bingo!
540
00:33:22,067 --> 00:33:25,362
Chun Van Quyet.
It's a wrap.
541
00:33:26,154 --> 00:33:28,657
Men, I think our mission
is accomplished.
542
00:33:31,952 --> 00:33:34,454
What a harrowing
physical display you gave us.
543
00:33:34,621 --> 00:33:36,706
Do you always solve problems
with your fists, Sergeant?
544
00:33:36,873 --> 00:33:38,208
I can take care of myself.
545
00:33:38,291 --> 00:33:40,126
As you have so
vividly demonstrated.
546
00:33:41,002 --> 00:33:43,713
I apologize if any of
my questions offend you.
547
00:33:45,882 --> 00:33:48,635
I wonder if Colonel Morrison
made the same mistake in 1971.
548
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,554
I already told you,
I didn't kill him.
549
00:33:50,679 --> 00:33:53,139
- Then perhaps you know who did.
- If I knew, I would tell you.
550
00:33:53,598 --> 00:33:56,017
Who pulled the trigger,
Sergeant? Was it Colonel Smith?
551
00:33:56,142 --> 00:33:57,769
Hannibal was in Hanoi with me.
552
00:33:57,853 --> 00:33:59,813
- Or Lieutenant Peck?
- Him, too.
553
00:33:59,980 --> 00:34:03,149
Oh, I see. I see.
You were all in Hanoi.
554
00:34:04,484 --> 00:34:08,697
All right, then let's talk about
Captain Murdock, your pilot.
555
00:34:08,822 --> 00:34:11,324
Now, he testified under oath that
he had returned to headquarters.
556
00:34:11,491 --> 00:34:12,534
Oh, no.
557
00:34:12,659 --> 00:34:15,996
Everybody in the world know
the man is a fool. He's crazy.
558
00:34:16,121 --> 00:34:19,666
He sees people who ain't really
there. He talk in circles all the time.
559
00:34:19,749 --> 00:34:21,084
He seems like
a disturbed individual.
560
00:34:21,209 --> 00:34:22,294
Do you think he's dangerous?
561
00:34:22,377 --> 00:34:24,045
Murdock won't hurt nobody.
562
00:34:24,588 --> 00:34:25,881
I wonder.
563
00:34:26,172 --> 00:34:28,508
If there are no further
questions, Major Laskov,
564
00:34:28,758 --> 00:34:31,469
we will take a one-hour
recess for lunch.
565
00:34:42,772 --> 00:34:44,357
All right, soldier,
this is where he works.
566
00:34:44,441 --> 00:34:46,067
Let's synchronize our watches.
567
00:34:46,401 --> 00:34:47,819
I'm not wearin' a watch.
568
00:34:47,944 --> 00:34:50,739
A Fighting Nighthawk Commando
always wears a watch.
569
00:34:50,822 --> 00:34:52,532
Let me guess,
fifth commandment, right?
570
00:34:52,616 --> 00:34:54,409
Oh, fourth. Fourth.
571
00:35:02,167 --> 00:35:04,002
A table for two, gentlemen?
572
00:35:04,336 --> 00:35:06,296
No, we're here to see the man.
573
00:35:06,796 --> 00:35:09,007
And what man
are you referring to?
574
00:35:10,216 --> 00:35:12,761
Colonel Chun Van Quyet.
575
00:35:14,387 --> 00:35:18,099
I believe the United States Government
set him up in this restaurant.
576
00:35:18,475 --> 00:35:22,354
I don't believe
I'm familiar with him.
577
00:35:22,604 --> 00:35:25,065
Perhaps my co-workers are.
578
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,717
That's Quyet. Come on.
579
00:35:55,887 --> 00:35:58,098
Gentlemen, I trust you
had a pleasant lunch?
580
00:36:00,517 --> 00:36:03,561
I trust you have more on your
mind than our happy tummies?
581
00:36:03,645 --> 00:36:04,771
I'll be brief.
582
00:36:06,523 --> 00:36:09,275
We all know that what the
Army wants out of this trial,
583
00:36:09,401 --> 00:36:11,111
is an A-Team conviction.
584
00:36:11,653 --> 00:36:13,863
But what I'm interested in
here is justice.
585
00:36:13,947 --> 00:36:15,949
I think the panel
can be convinced
586
00:36:16,032 --> 00:36:18,952
that Captain Murdock
was operating on his own
587
00:36:19,077 --> 00:36:23,707
and in a questionable mental condition
when he killed Colonel Morrison.
588
00:36:24,082 --> 00:36:26,501
Help me do that.
It could save your lives.
589
00:36:26,626 --> 00:36:28,044
Major, you can
take your proposal...
590
00:36:28,128 --> 00:36:29,546
Nice try, Major.
591
00:36:30,922 --> 00:36:33,508
But we've got this
beaten, and you know it.
592
00:36:38,179 --> 00:36:41,391
I just learned that Captain
Murdock has located Quyet.
593
00:36:41,516 --> 00:36:45,228
Now, if his testimony confirms your
story, you guys are off the hook.
594
00:36:45,311 --> 00:36:49,024
Now all we have to do is
recall Josh Curtis to the stand
595
00:36:49,149 --> 00:36:50,817
and find out why he lied.
596
00:36:51,026 --> 00:36:54,946
All rise. This court-martial
is back in session.
597
00:36:55,071 --> 00:36:58,158
His honor Colonel
Thomas Milo presiding.
598
00:37:04,664 --> 00:37:08,126
I'm sorry to begin the
afternoon with this sad news,
599
00:37:08,710 --> 00:37:10,587
but I want the counsel
to be informed
600
00:37:10,670 --> 00:37:14,174
that a principal witness in this
case has had a tragic accident.
601
00:37:14,257 --> 00:37:18,970
Captain Josh Curtis was killed early
this morning by a hit-and-run driver.
602
00:37:20,597 --> 00:37:23,141
Well. So much
for recalling Curtis.
603
00:37:25,310 --> 00:37:29,397
If Quyet clears our names,
they'll nail Murdock.
604
00:37:29,481 --> 00:37:30,857
What we gonna do?
605
00:37:31,191 --> 00:37:33,401
Mr. Conway,
would you call your witness?
606
00:37:33,943 --> 00:37:36,988
Your honor, I'd like to
request a short recess,
607
00:37:37,072 --> 00:37:38,156
given this recent development...
608
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,367
Your honor, I think
I can save us a lot of time.
609
00:37:41,493 --> 00:37:43,870
Do you wish to address
the court, Colonel?
610
00:37:43,953 --> 00:37:46,122
- I'm changing my plea.
- What?
611
00:37:46,206 --> 00:37:49,542
I plead guilty as charged.
I killed Colonel Morrison.
612
00:37:51,878 --> 00:37:54,339
Your honor, clearly my client
is upset with the...
613
00:37:54,422 --> 00:37:56,966
And I helped him do it.
614
00:37:58,843 --> 00:38:00,512
It was all three of us.
615
00:38:02,847 --> 00:38:05,350
This court will take
a 30-minute recess.
616
00:38:11,064 --> 00:38:13,566
Are you out of your minds?
617
00:38:14,734 --> 00:38:17,695
Well, it wouldn't be the first
time we were accused of it.
618
00:38:17,779 --> 00:38:20,365
Nobody tries to plead guilty
in a capital case.
619
00:38:20,448 --> 00:38:22,951
A man can only live
with his guilt so long.
620
00:38:23,284 --> 00:38:25,078
Yeah, we hate guilt.
621
00:38:25,203 --> 00:38:26,246
But we are winning!
622
00:38:26,329 --> 00:38:29,457
Their case is shot full of holes
and once Colonel Quyet testifies,
623
00:38:29,541 --> 00:38:31,000
it'll be shot down entirely!
624
00:38:31,084 --> 00:38:34,462
Would you mind not using words
like "full of holes," "shot down"?
625
00:38:34,587 --> 00:38:37,048
It conjures up such
a negative image.
626
00:38:37,173 --> 00:38:39,342
All right, you wanna
sabotage your own trial,
627
00:38:39,384 --> 00:38:41,010
I'll just withdraw and you
can do whatever you want.
628
00:38:41,094 --> 00:38:43,721
I should warn you, though,
that requires a mistrial
629
00:38:43,805 --> 00:38:46,099
and you'll have to go through
this whole thing all over again.
630
00:38:46,182 --> 00:38:48,852
Suppose we really
did kill Morrison?
631
00:38:48,935 --> 00:38:51,146
You could never kill
anybody in cold blood.
632
00:38:52,147 --> 00:38:53,481
I'm sure of it.
633
00:38:57,026 --> 00:39:00,613
All right, Mr. Conway,
we'll try it your way.
634
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:04,534
Murdock, this is crazy,
man. I don't get it.
635
00:39:04,617 --> 00:39:06,953
I mean, we blocked the guy's door.
We don't even know if he's home yet.
636
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,246
What if he left town already?
637
00:39:08,329 --> 00:39:09,685
No, no, no, he hasn't left.
638
00:39:09,710 --> 00:39:11,875
I just saw him pop his head
right out through the curtains.
639
00:39:12,083 --> 00:39:13,042
Are you ready?
640
00:39:13,168 --> 00:39:16,045
Yeah, but I still don't
think it's gonna work.
641
00:39:16,421 --> 00:39:18,798
Don't be discouraged, son.
642
00:39:19,883 --> 00:39:23,803
Let the lyrics of the Fighting
Nighthawk Commandos' theme song
643
00:39:24,012 --> 00:39:25,513

Frankie, Frankie, don't you wanna
pick up all the garbage in the alley?

I told you this was dumb.
I can't get this thing to...

00:40:24,322 --> 00:40:25,406
work.
656
00:40:32,372 --> 00:40:33,539
I'm a genius.
657
00:40:50,556 --> 00:40:52,725
Welcome to Fantasy Island,
Colonel.
658
00:40:55,019 --> 00:40:56,938
- What do you want with me?
- Information.
659
00:40:57,063 --> 00:40:58,231
I have nothing to say.
660
00:40:58,314 --> 00:40:59,983
Too bad. Let her rip!
661
00:41:01,359 --> 00:41:04,112
Every litter bit hurts, Colonel.
662
00:41:05,905 --> 00:41:06,906
Stop it! Stop it!
663
00:41:06,990 --> 00:41:09,617
Okay, okay, I'll tell you
what you wanna know?
664
00:41:10,535 --> 00:41:12,954
Was Colonel Morrison a
North Vietnamese operative?
665
00:41:13,663 --> 00:41:14,416
Yes.
666
00:41:14,441 --> 00:41:16,958
Then why did he send the
A-Team to rob the Bank of Hanoi?
667
00:41:17,316 --> 00:41:19,502
It was supposed to be a trap.
668
00:41:19,669 --> 00:41:22,171
But the message couldn't get to
our unit in time to stop them.
669
00:41:22,547 --> 00:41:25,300
It was to be an embarrassment
to your country.
670
00:41:27,176 --> 00:41:28,761
United States Army!
671
00:41:28,845 --> 00:41:30,638
Murdock, company!
672
00:41:30,722 --> 00:41:33,266
Throw down your weapons,
you're surrounded.
673
00:41:33,391 --> 00:41:35,643
You are a fool. I called them.
674
00:41:35,727 --> 00:41:37,854
You must now release me,
or you will die.
675
00:41:37,937 --> 00:41:41,566
A Fighting Nighthawk Commando doesn't
know the meaning of the word "die"!
676
00:41:41,733 --> 00:41:44,819
What's the first commandment,
Franklin?
677
00:41:44,902 --> 00:41:46,821
Never leave your cap out
in plain view, right?
678
00:41:46,904 --> 00:41:49,365
That's close enough! Hit it!
679
00:42:12,472 --> 00:42:16,267
Fighting Nighthawk express and
we're coming through, so watch out!
680
00:42:30,823 --> 00:42:33,910

684

Well, that's certainly a
cheerful-looking little group.
685
00:42:56,891 --> 00:42:59,185
Yeah. They could
at least smile.
686
00:42:59,435 --> 00:43:01,062
The accused rise.
687
00:43:04,399 --> 00:43:07,527
Stop these proceedings!
Stop the proceedings!
688
00:43:07,735 --> 00:43:08,861
Your honor.
689
00:43:11,697 --> 00:43:14,659
We have located
a very important witness,
690
00:43:14,742 --> 00:43:17,745
and I believe he can finally
shed some light on this case.
691
00:43:19,664 --> 00:43:21,040
Is that you, Captain Murdock?
692
00:43:21,165 --> 00:43:22,583
Yes, it is, your honor.
693
00:43:22,667 --> 00:43:24,252
And if you'll bear with me,
694
00:43:24,585 --> 00:43:27,380
I believe we can finally
establish some testimony here
695
00:43:27,463 --> 00:43:30,925
that will once and for all and
beyond a shadow of a doubt prove
696
00:43:31,134 --> 00:43:34,345
that A-Team is innocent
of all charges.
697
00:43:34,679 --> 00:43:35,888
You may continue.
698
00:43:41,394 --> 00:43:45,148
Do you swear to tell the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
699
00:43:45,273 --> 00:43:46,607
so help you God?
700
00:43:46,816 --> 00:43:48,025
I do.
701
00:43:51,571 --> 00:43:53,322
What is your name, sir?
702
00:43:54,115 --> 00:43:55,616
Chun Van Quyet.
703
00:43:55,700 --> 00:43:59,996
Are you not the same gentleman who gave a
statement before the United States Congress
704
00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:03,749
in regard to Colonel Morrison's
work for the Viet Cong?
705
00:44:03,916 --> 00:44:04,834
I am.
706
00:44:04,876 --> 00:44:06,043
I see.
707
00:44:06,460 --> 00:44:09,547
Would you give us your
version of the famed mission
708
00:44:09,630 --> 00:44:11,549
on the National Bank
of Hanoi, sir?
709
00:44:12,508 --> 00:44:14,343
I was shocked when it happened.
710
00:44:14,468 --> 00:44:16,721
Well, wait a minute.
That's not what you told me.
711
00:44:17,388 --> 00:44:21,267
We should have anticipated the
A-Team was capable of such a mission.
712
00:44:21,601 --> 00:44:24,020
I wish Colonel Morrison and I
could have recruited them.
713
00:44:24,437 --> 00:44:25,688
What do you mean by this?
714
00:44:25,771 --> 00:44:29,025
I had many times told Morrison,
we should make them an offer.
715
00:44:29,150 --> 00:44:33,821
But he always said no. He said
they were loyal American patriots.
716
00:44:34,197 --> 00:44:36,407
Loyal American patriots?
717
00:44:36,824 --> 00:44:40,620
Colonel Morrison, the man that these
men were supposed to have killed
718
00:44:40,703 --> 00:44:43,456
in fact held the A-Team
in high regard?
719
00:44:43,539 --> 00:44:44,624
No.
720
00:44:45,249 --> 00:44:46,792
He feared them.
721
00:44:47,752 --> 00:44:49,712
Colonel Morrison told me that
722
00:44:50,046 --> 00:44:53,841
if Smith and the A-Team
discovered he was an agent,
723
00:44:54,842 --> 00:44:57,011
they would not hesitate
to kill him.
724
00:45:08,522 --> 00:45:09,982
What do you think, General?
725
00:45:10,566 --> 00:45:13,194
I think the A-Team
looks as guilty as hell.
726
00:45:14,403 --> 00:45:17,156
However, the guilty
must pay for their crimes.
727
00:45:18,032 --> 00:45:19,659
They must have known the risks.
728
00:45:20,618 --> 00:45:21,827
Tell the pilot I'm ready.
729
00:45:21,953 --> 00:45:23,120
Right away, sir.
730
00:45:32,546 --> 00:45:34,382
Would the accused rise?
731
00:45:39,387 --> 00:45:41,180
What does the panel find?
732
00:45:44,100 --> 00:45:47,311
Colonel Smith, Lieutenant Peck,
733
00:45:47,812 --> 00:45:49,313
Sergeant Baracus,
734
00:45:49,563 --> 00:45:52,275
it is my duty
as president of this court
735
00:45:52,692 --> 00:45:56,946
to inform you that in closed
session, upon secret ballot,
736
00:45:57,571 --> 00:46:02,326
all of the members present concurred
in finding you guilty as charged,
737
00:46:03,035 --> 00:46:05,579
and sentencing you
to be put to death.
738
00:46:08,958 --> 00:46:12,586
The accused are remanded
to military police custody,
739
00:46:13,045 --> 00:46:15,631
and sentence will be carried
out as soon as possible.
740
00:46:16,090 --> 00:46:17,675
This court is adjourned.
