The A Team, Season 5

The A-Team (1983–1987) is an NBC television series, created by Stephen J. Cannell, featuring the adventures of a band of ex-military men who, unfairly accused of a wartime crime, evade government pursuers while doing good deeds for assorted people across the United States.

[Murdock has just told Face that AJ Bancroft was his father]

Face:
What kind of a friend are you?

Murdock:
Well it still might not be true. It's possible that he isn't your father.

Face:
Yeah, and it's possible he is. Why didn't you tell me Murdock, why? Why- why did you hide it from me?

Murdock:
Because AJ begged me not to tell you, and I said OK, but if he didn't tell you, then I would.

Face:
I see, so you tell me now, huh, after he's dead. Well your timing stinks!

Murdock:
WELL HE WAS DYING! What do you want me to do?! It was a last request!

Face:
Oh, I see... Well, it's nice to know where your loyalties are. And who else have you told? Hannibal, BA, Frankie, the newspaper boy?

Murdock:
No no... Just you, me and... Stockwell knows.

Face:
Stockwell? You- you told Stockwell about my father but you can't tell me?! I swear, you know, I don't understand what motivates you. And you know something? You were always the one that I thought I could count on.

Murdock:
Well you still can count on me!

Face:
Oh really?! Now because of you I may have lost the only chance I had to find out who my father was. Did you think it wasn't important?

Murdock:
Face-

Face:
Ah, just leave me alone...

Murdock:
Listen, there's more to this story-

Face:
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!

[Face shoves Murdock to the ground. They stare at each other for a moment and Murdock gets up]

Murdock:
Good… good, good. You're perfectly clear about that. But let me tell you one thing. You remember when I was in the van and you caught me on the phone? And I told you I was talking to Erica and I asked you for your advice. I said someone had come to me and they told me something about Erica but they begged me not to tell her about it, I said what should I do, you said to trust your gut instinct! Well it wasn't Erica I was talking about. It was you! And you were wrong! And let me tell you this: If AJ had not died, and if he had the opportunity to tell you, right now, here by this tree, you would be thanking me for holding back and not telling!

Face:
Look, Murdock-

Murdock:
No, don't say anything!... The one thing about you and me I've always liked… that's our fights. Because we don't have to… stumble over our lips… apologizing.

Frankie:
I've always thought of Johnny as some kind of ... Superman, ya' know?

B.A:
There ain't no body!

Frankie:
They don't always find a body, B.A.

Murdock:
Hey Frankie, do you know something we don't know? Why are you trying to convince us that Hannibal's dead?

Frankie:
I'm not! I'm just trying to face facts. Everything we've heard so far says that Johnny's not alive.

Face:
Frankie, there's not a shred of hard evidence that says that he's dead.

Frankie:
Yeah, except that goon back there who says he was killed!

Murdock:
WELL YOU SHOULDN'T BE LISTENING TO GOONS!!!

Silent Pause

Murdock:
I'm, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's just that g- goons are not a very reliable source of information you know.

Face:
Yeah, see the bottom line here Frankie is that were not gonna believe Hannibal's dead until we get some proof.

Murdock:
If there's no body, then Hannibal is alive.

Face:
I think the key to this whole mess is Bobby, that little peddycab peddler.

Frankie:
Yeah, how come you haven't let Stockwell in on that one!?

Murdock:
Stockwell? Stockwell? Stockwell doesn't give a rats tail whether Hannibal is alive or dead!

B.A:
You got that right crazy man.

'[Stockwell walks into the room]

Stockwell:
O.K we're upgrading the status of this mission to Code Red. Now according to Colonel Smith's message, we've got 16 hours before the plutonium shipment changes hands. I have arranged for our friend back there to be picked up in a half an hour. So I want you to stay here until then.

Face:
B.A and Frankie will uh, cover this end here for you, Murdock and I have something we've gotta check out.

Stockwell:
No, you're not checking anything out until the prisoner is picked up. Then I want you to meet Alice and me at Hop Louie's. Understood?

[Pause]

Stockwell:
Is there a problem?

Murdock:
Yes. We do not believe that Hannibal is dead, General.

Stockwell:
That's an interesting fantasy, but we don't deal in fantasies in this business.

Frankie:
Fantasy? Whoa, whoa, whoa wait just a minute here. This situation is NO FANTASY!
