This is a chance...
for all of you to have something...
you never thought you could ever have again.
He's the only one that can prove your innocence.
Morrison died in a shelling in Phnom Penh.
He's a prisoner of war.
Let's get this thing camouflaged.
I want to be in Hanoi before dark.
This is my mission. We're gonna do it my way.
You know, we're all part of the same team.
Kill me.
And we have one more traitor in our country.
In 1972, a crack commando unit...
was sent to prison by a military 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.
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.
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-
I am 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--
Ladies, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Go on about your business, sorry.
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.
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.
I can. He's still alive.
Morrison died in a shelling in Phnom Penh.
The information we have, he's still alive. He's a prisoner of war.
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 war 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 war.
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.
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 ♪
No panic, no panic.
The emergency generator will kick on in a minute.
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.
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.
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.
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--
I am not gonna steal a military 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 guns.
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.
Well, we have a transport coming in...
within the next two hours.
They will only be laying in--
What about this plane right here, Lieutenant?
This plane is General Ekworth's, sir.
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 Gang.
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.
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.
But General Fulbright--
Is 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?
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 stalks to land on.
Face, how far to Hanoi?
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.
Technically, he didn't blank out.
He was mildly catatonic.
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.
Lieutenant, I know it's good to be back...
but we got work to do.
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.
That means we need a place to stay, Face.
Can you do anything about that?
Sure, Sheraton Hotel, downtown Hanoi.
No, no fooling, really.
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.
Where's Fulbright?
Are you sure this is where you're supposed to bring me?
Wait!
Fulbright, hit the deck!
Get her, Face.
Face, Face. Help him, he's gonna need it.
Look, I don't know who that girl was...
and I don't know why she was trying to kill 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?
For my son.
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 killed 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 war 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 beat 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.
Well...
I'm out for the weekend anyway.
That used to be a bar.
Chinh Tu was a waitress there. That's how I met her.
But that was 20 years ago.
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.
My Linh?
I believe you speak English.
I'm here for a friend...
Chinh Tu.
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.
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? - My 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?
You mean...
it was your own daughter who tried to kill you?
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 kill you.
I'm not gonna go back now until I find out why...
why she wanted to kill me, why she hates me, why...
why her mother would say all those horrible things about me.
I have to go see her.
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.
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 kill him.
Now I believe we're back.
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.
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 kill him or hug him...
we gotta get him back first.
Looks like their boat, Colonel.
It would help if we knew what we were going in against.
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.
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.
Cripple me.
Kill me.
I've got no daughter!
If it won't change anything...
then we may as well.
Stay down.
How many are there?
Is Fulbright all right?
He's alive.
He...
My Linh is there.
They got her, too?
She's not a prisoner.
She's...
Well, how many are there?
Three, counting Colonel Sieu.
Sieu?
He's a colonel in the army.
He hates the United States.
Hannibal, we got company!
Let's go, Colonel!
You all right?
We may not make it to Texarkana but I think we'll make it to the plane.
Last time I saw you...
you were trying to kill me.
Oh, you're so pretty.
Not like her old man.
Smith...
you and your men...
are good soldiers.
I'm glad...
we ended up on the same side.
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...
but I didn't think about it.
