The A-Team

When her father is murdered, a woman hires the A-Team to help her protect her father's investment in a South African diamond mine. A ruthless South African businessman will stop at nothing -- even murder -- to steal it from her. In order to keep the mine operating, the A-Team must find a way to get dynamite to the mine and blow open an air shaft so workers won't suffocate while working the deeper recesses of the mine. And, of course, stopping the bad guys before they do any more harm will also be on the agenda.

The A-Team discovers that the cook from a Vietnamese prison camp -- an honorable man who helped them and many other GI's survive by sneaking them food -- is working in L.A. at a trendy restaurant. Unfortunately, the P.O.W. camp commander also knows that he's there and will stop at nothing to kill him for revenge. And in another twist, the camp commander is in business with another former prisoner, the son of a powerful U.S. mobster with a narcotics distribution network that can circulate South East Asian cocaine throughout the Western Hemisphere.

Face receives a cryptic message from an old girlfriend named Leslie Becktall (Markie Post) which leads him to believe that she's in some kind of trouble. Since the team doesn't trust his instincts, he's forced to hire them to make the trip to a Central American mission where Face discovers that Leslie's now a nun and the convent is being held hostage by a recuperating killer and his band of goons.

A young girl touches B.A.'s heart when she tells him the sordid tale of how a group of smugglers south of the border trafficking in slave labor are holding her mother who is dying and B.A. "encourages" the team to go along and break up the ring. Hannibal sets himself up as a potential "client" of the organization, but when the team loses track of the truck their leader is in, the colonel finds himself alone and in trouble -- he's placed in solitary confinement in a tin box baking in the sun -- and the A-Team must find the compound before their leader and Maria's mom die.

A young native American enlists the aid of the A-Team in saving a herd of wild mustangs which are being rounded up by a rancher named Carter (Morgan Woodward) who is shipping them into Mexico for slaughter despite their protected status. After agreeing to help out, Hannibal and the unit arrive in Arizona and accost Carter's henchmen. Meanwhile, the Army dispatches maverick Col. Roderick Decker (Lance LeGault) to round up the A-Team in the wake of Lynch's failure. Decker turns out to be an overzealous go-getter and will stop at nothing to apprehend the fugitive soldiers-for-hire. Part 1 of 2.

A small cab company finds itself on the verge of extinction when the A-Team steps in and helps them with a major problem...a rival no-holds-barred cab company that will stop at nothing to control the complete territory currently shared by both companies. Cal (Ernie Hudson) agrees to give Hannibal and the team 10% ownership of Lone Star Taxi if they can find some way to stop Love Cabs and their shady leader, Crane (Michael Ironside), who has no reservations about fixing meters, dealing dope out of his cabs and hiring ex-cons to drive them. The team breaks into Crane's estate in an effort to shake him up, but have they truly rattled him, or did they just knock over a hornet's nest?

After evading Col. Decker, the A-Team holes up in a small town and discovers that a group of migrant farm workers have their backs against the wall because a local farm owner, Jarrett (John Vernon), won't pay them fairly and won't let them leave unless they pick his crops. Hannibal and the unit start pushing the workers to form their own union but Jarrett has plans of his own. He has his goons locate the site for the union vote, then go there to bust some heads. Of course, with the A-Team around, just any old hired muscle ain't gonna cut it!

A small fishing village is held hostage by a greedy fisherman and his goons. They have a protection racket going and if the other seamen in the village don't give Garber half of their haul, Garber and his men capsize their boats. Of course, if the extortion continues, the bay's sea life will be depleted and none of the residents will be able to survive there anyway. The A-Team comes to the aid of the Mayer family which has fallen victim to Garber's men. Unfortunately, Col. Decker is also hot on their heels, too. The question is, will Decker leave with the A-Team or Garber in custody?

Three Vietnam vets settle in a small desert town and hope to eke out a living with a small hotel they're refurbishing. Unfortunately, a wealthy rancher named Frank Gaines (Alan Fudge) will stop at nothing to force them from the land they bought since the parcel the vets are on has the only local source of spring water. The vets could be sitting on a gold mine if Gaines doesn't get his hands on it first. Of course when the vets find themselves back at the V.A. hospital after being severely beaten by Gaines' men, they meet up with Murdock who convinces them to let the A-Team lend a hand.

Mickey Stern (Norman Alden) and his construction company have a series of misadventures when he contracts with the city to demolish an old high rise. It seems that a prominent mobster buried his partner there years earlier and doesn't want the building torn down since the evidence will be exposed. Stern hires the A-Team to help him get the project back on schedule. Things take an interesting turn, however, when Face is captured by the mobster and the team must rescue him before taking down the bad guys for good.

A reporter friend of Amy's enlists the team to aid in defeating a long term incumbent small town sheriff named Dawson (Clifton James) who is as corrupt as the day is long. Dawson and his deputies supply protection to an illegal casino and moonshine runs. Of course if anyone runs against him, Dawson finds a way to stop them...or kill them before they become a serious threat to his authority. Naturally, that won't stop the A-Team from having Face masquerade as a small town war hero returning to challenge Dawson for his seat. That is, of course, if Col. Decker and his men don't get wind of the A-Team's location first! (This episode marks the final series appearance of Melinda Culea as Amy Allen.)

The Golden Pagoda restaurant is owned by a good friend of the A-Team and they have helped out the Yengs by bankrolling them, thus making them part owners of the successful eatery. Unfortunately, the Yengs have become a target for the Lung Chin, a Chinese tong that extorts protection money from area businesses. When the Lung Chin take on the A-Team, they kick over a hornet's nest, however, and things get very interesting when the team discovers that the tong is attempting to smuggle an exiled mobster back into the U.S.

When a cargo plane pilot develops engine trouble over Venezuela, he safely lands only to find himself incarcerated by authorities when cocaine is discovered aboard his aircraft. The pilot's parents hire the A-Team to get to the bottom of the situation since their son is a decorated soldier who would never knowingly smuggle drugs. The team flies to Columbia where they discover the true mastermind behind the smuggling operation. The trick, however, is getting him out of Columbia since he has many friends in the Columbian government and can never be convicted there.

Marla Heasley joins the recurring cast as Tawnia Baker, an investigative reporter who infiltrates a security firm on assignment. There, she discovers that the A-Team is about to be captured by Col. Decker and his men, so she clues Hannibal in. Unfortunately, her snooping has made her a target of the firm's management and they attempt to find out what other information she may have discovered about the firm's planned activities which include the upcoming assassination attempt on the life of a prominent Middle Eastern diplomat.

Cpl. Brown asks the Team to investigate the death of her older brother, Paul, who was involved in weapons trafficking at a military base. The Team is unaware that she has alerted Col. Decker as to their whereabouts. When Hannibal catches on, he decides to fool Decker into thinking they have taken refuge at the guest house on an Army base - by making the National Guardsmen think they're being fired upon, thanks to an elaborate setup involving a stereo and a war sound effects record.

Reverend Taylor knew Face as a US military padre in Saigon, so when Charles Drew, the criminal king of Arcadia county where he now ministers, even sells his literally poisonous moonshine whiskey to local teenagers, he is quickly accepted as a client by the A-Team. They even promise to use minimal violence while putting an end to his illegal booze business, which also uses the 'protection' racket - just the team's ticket in so they can put him and his goons out of action for good, and since the scum won't listen, there's a final showdown.

A criminal gang, known as the Scorpions, robs the clients of a small desert casino in armored go-carts. Acting as bait, Face and Hannibal work out how it's done, with an employee 'tipping' a fatal shortcut. But they're too heavily armed to take on mere citizens, and after some research by Tawnia it becomes clear their real purpose concerns their imprisoned former leader Driscoll, and the A-Team comes up with a counter-plan.

While parking cars at an expensive restaurant, Davey, a young ex-con, becomes the victim of car theft. Fired from his job, he subsequently hires the A-Team to help him retrieve the car and clear his record. While attempting to bait the car thieves, B.A.'s van is stolen. The team discovers that the operation sells used cars, stealing them back a few weeks later and then sending them to a "chop" shop where they are broken down for parts. It becomes a race against time so that B.A.'s van does not meet such a fate.

The rescue of a kidnapping victim looks easy until the ransom is left behind and the victim insists on bringing along one of her captors. Hannibal has to decide fast, while he delivers the money.

While the team uses a period without a job to retreat for military-style physical training, a syndicate of crime lords is so fed up with the A-Team ruining their business that they pay legendary Major Douglas Kyle a fortune in advance to set up an "evil A-Team" of four merciless super-mercenaries to put them out of business for good. Having done their homework, the challengers use three team-members' weak spots to take them out one by one: a girl to bait Face, a dog for Murdock, BA's daily gallon of milk. Thus Hannibal is alone, with no other clue then the dairy firm which delivered the drugged milk, and has to escape the killer-quartet before he must free the others and plan a revenge.

Kale Sykes and his men are trying to bully the peaceful Society of Men away from Kellysburg because they don't agree with their way of life. Eric, a young Society member, hires The A-Team to build their meeting house, hoping the team can resolve matters without using any violence. The Team goes to work facing dangerous opposition from Sykes as well as objections from community leader Karl Peersen.

Decker learns that The A-Team is taking down cattle-rustler Russ Clayton. When he arrives at the scene the team is gone - but blood is found on the ground. The reason is that Clayton attempted to shoot Hannibal but Murdock took the bullet and the team is desperate to find medical help to save Murdock. As they strain to help Murdock, the members of the team recall his contributions to their success, such as giving B.A. his blood, leading an escape from prison, helping Face pull numerous confidence jobs, and displaying general engaging wackiness. However, with Decker on the prowl, the team must get the bullet out of Murdock's body themselves - and are forced to surrender when Murdock proves too weak to be moved.
