All language subtitles for The A-Team (1983) - S02E17 - Pure-Dee Poison (1080p x265 EDGE2020).eng

(male narrator)
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.

[gun firing]

(Boyle)
Nothing like that
pure Arcadia shine,

is there, neighbor?

Except maybe some arsenic
or some paint thinner.

How many people
you poison

with that moonshine
today, Boyle?

Reverend,

I'm not gonna listen
to any more of your preaching.

Well, that's fine
with me,

'cause I'm through
sermonizing.

Let us pray.

[gun firing]

Now, you tell your boss
the war has just started.

[birds chirping]

[laughs]
Uh-uh, Dad, it's crooked.

Now, it's either the building
or your eyes.

Stephanie,
go on up to the house
and get me some coffee.

Now.

Oh. I take mine
with sugar, sugar.

[Burt chuckling]

Let me ask you some
professional advice, Reverend.

There's a line in the Bible
that says:

"Vengeance is mine,
I will repay, saith the Lord."

What do you think
they meant by that?

Well, Mr. Drew, I prefer,

"By thy sword shalt thy live
and shalt serve thy brother."

Well, you got your beliefs,
I got mine.

And yours is costing me money.

Damn your money.

That rotgut you're sellin'

has killed 13 people
in the last six months.

You do anything too much
and it's gonna hurt you.

Especially
if what you're doing

is trying to run

other people's lives.

That galls me.

Tsk. That just galls me.

Hey.

[groaning]

[grunting]

You wanted war,
Reverend?

Well, you gonna get
the unholiest war
you ever saw.

Amen.

Well.

Did you come
to cast your bread

upon the waters,
Reverend?

Uh, Looks like the guy
I'm meeting here

has done
a no-show on me.

Well, you never
can tell.

People bite,
when they're ready.

Just like fish.

What's that little, uh,
doohickey on your collar?

That some sort of
junior bird man?

No, these are wings.

I was in the paratroops,
a long time ago.

Real long time ago.

How many "B" bag jumps
you got?

"B" bags?

You store your dress uniforms
in those.

You don't jump with them.

Oh, I know.

Just fishing,

and making sure that
nobody's fishing for me.

Who are you?

I'll tell you where
the fishin' is good.

Now, you just take a little
walk down the beach with me.

Oh, wait a minute.

Walk down the beach?
W-What is this?

Well, I thought you wanted
to hire the A-Team.

I'm Hannibal Smith.

Come on, we've got
a lot of talking to do.

(Hannibal)
Well, Face said
he knew a Reverend Taylor

in Vietnam.

But we never had an idea
it was you.

Yeah, that's me.

You know, this place
reminds me of that villa

you acquired in Saigon.

[snickering]

In those days you'd do
just about anything

to get somethin'
you wanted.

But pretending to be
Vietnamese royalty...

[laughs]

The trick was
never to make eye contact.

But we all mature,
right?

For instance,
you take the way I, uh,

evolved into an association
with this place.

Association?

Man, you just scammin'
like always, that's all.

Elvira happens to be

a very renowned
silent film star.

And I'm here
running her fan club.

Don't lie, Face.

You were supposed to be
takin' care of the fan club

from the garage.

And besides, that old lady
don't have no fans.

I'm a fan.

Besides,
Elvira likes me.

I make her laugh.

You make me laugh.

[chuckles]

You have gotten better.

(Hannibal)
He gets a lot of practice.

Which you'll be glad of
real soon,

if I read you right.

Tell me, Reverend,
what is the extent

of this Drew's influence
down there?

He must be wearing
pretty fancy socks

in that county to be
selling killer moonshine.

Well, he controls
Arcadia County.

That shine operation
he kingpins

is the South's largest.

Shine used to
just be whiskey

you didn't have to pay
any taxes on.

I mean, it was
never any great sweat.

(Hannibal)
Not anymore, Captain.

Now they make it in iron vats

and then cook it off
in car radiators.

And all that
corrosion and lead

goes straight into
what they pour over the bar.

That's pure-dee poison,
Hannibal.

That's what it is.

I've had some of the people
in my parish blinded by it.

Paralyzed.
Some even died.

Just glamorized poison,
that's all it is.

What's, uh, Drew's
exact operation?

One big still.
Site, unknown.

He sells it to
the poor joints

and he sells it to
the private clubs as well.

An octopus.

And it's strangling
all of Arcadia.

(Tawnia)
I can't tell you guys

how included
this makes me feel.

I mean, we're like family,
practically.

I--I mean, it's great,
don't you think?

Tawnia, you may not be
thanking us for long.

Things can get hairy.

That's what you guys
always tell me.

But still, you called me,

and asked me
to come along and help.

I mean, you can't tell me
that's not significant.

Well, I'm here anyway.

Now, Rev. Taylor tells me

there are
three roadhouses in this area

that cater to minors.

You mean to tell me
they're selling this poison

to teenagers?

That's right.

And Drew makes his deliveries
every Wednesday.

Sir, as this is Tuesday

it's my feeling
that Wednesday

could occur officially
as early as tomorrow.

Good work, Murdock.

So,
we check them all out

and figure out
the best place

to get in Drew's way?

Nope. We just pick one.

We don't ask any questions.

We don't give Drew
the opportunity

to pick up anything
on his grapevine.

[tires screeching]

(Hannibal)
Stand by for our signal.

Tawnia'll let you
in the front door.

Looks like
an old speakeasy.

I'll bet
they're real careful

about who they let in.

*[music playing]

Members only.

My friend Mr. Drew

told me this might be
a smart place

to have a sociable drink

with
little Bubbles here.

[chuckling]

Consider that
a contribution.

Howdy.

Howdy.

I apologize, mister,

but we're gonna have to
shake you down.

So just stand easy
for a minute.

Uh, now, since when's
a man have to be searched

to buy his gal
a drink?

Especially a personal friend
of Mr. Drew's.

Well, we've been
havin' problems lately.

No insult intended.

It's just that
the wrong kind of people

been trying to get into
these private clubs.

Well, we wouldn't want
that, would we, honey?

[giggling]

What about the girl?

Uh, forget it.

She couldn't hide
anything in there.

[both laugh]

Wanna bet?

Oh, little lady,
you wouldn't, now.

No.

But I'm a whole other
stretch of road.

Get over there.

*[music continues playing]

[grunts]

[groaning]

[screams]

[groans]

Now, you boys wanna
keep on playing.

I'm dealin'
from this deck.

What is this, man?
A stick-up?

Fact-finding mission.

(Hannibal)
First question:

Are you on the shine delivery
route tomorrow or not?

Moonshine?

This is a legit bar.

What are you
plannin'?

To do your wash?

Are you on the route
or not?

I can't tell you, man.
They'll burn me out.

[music stops]

Never did like that song.

They'll kill me.

I guess you didn't hear us.

Face.

[sighing]

What's he doin'?

Oh, just getting ready
to, uh,

turn this place into
an open air beer garden.

Now, uh,
I'm open to suggestions.

Which wall
would you like me to remove?

Okay, okay.

They deliver the shine
tomorrow, all right?

Hmm, well, that concludes
this part of
the fact-finding mission.

But don't be sad.

We saved the best part
for last.

Howdy, partner.

Partner?
Mmm-hmm.

We just went into
the roadhouse business.

I love it when a partnership
comes together.

Don't you?

Yeah.

Well, phase one
is always the easiest.

The bad guys never know it
when you're doing phase one.

Now, phase two,

that's when the soup
sticks to the spoon.

Well, we have
the element of surprise

on Drew and his muscle.

And the boys here

will just keep on
doin' their work

like there's
nothing wrong at all.

You talk like
you'll catch them

like you caught
these suckers.

Don't forget, man,

these moonshine trucks
are rigged.

They know they
gonna be chased,

so they plan on being
twice as fast.

We'll need something

to give us more horsepower
than them.

Any ideas?

Sure. Nitrous oxide.

Do it every time.

You just feed it
into the mix

and stand back.

You heard that.

Any local speed shops,
pal?

Closest one's
about 100 miles.

Face,
you got any thoughts

on how we might solve
our supply problem?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
Uh, Murdock,

how's that overbite you've
been complaining about?

Huh?

Wait a minute, Face.

I don't know what to say.
I'm scared to death
of dentists.

I keep thinkin'
that they're not

fixing my teeth
but that they're--

they're--they're
hiding things in there.

Dog toys,
vacuum cleaners.

Who knows? Who knows?

Murdock, nothing is gonna
happen to your teeth.

I'll have you
out of there untouched.

I promise.

All right, can I--
can I tell you

what I'm really, truly,
honest-to-gumbo scared of?

Fruit bats.
They're awful, Face.

They're all over
the South.

Backwood terrors
of the night.

The flap-flap

of their little wings

and the smell of kumquats
on their fetid breath.

Kumquats?

Sure.

Vampires have garlic

fruit bats have kumquats.

Right.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Hello. Can I help you?

Uh, hi.
This is an emergency.

Uh, my friend's
a patient of Dr Klink.

Oh, well, he's not here.

But if it's an emergency,

I'm sure
we'll take care of you.

I'm Dr. Reed.
I'll show you to a room.

Something
in a Mediterranean

would be super.

I don't know
if I can do this, Face.

Sure you can, Murdock.

Just act insecure at being
in a dentist's office.

Subtlety,
that is the key.

Right.

Oh, here we are.

[gasping]

Uh, now, wait a second,
Clarke. Take it easy.

You saw her
just a minute ago.

Now, look. Here she is.

It's a trick. It's a trick.
I know it is.

They always do that first.

Is there a problem here?

You said
this was an emergency,

and I normally see
adult patients alone.

She's gonna put braces
all over my teeth

and then sell my lips
to a bologna factory.

I can't seem to find
your X-rays

in Dr. Klink's office yet.

But I thought
I better help you

calm down a little
before I looked any farther.

I'm going to give you
some nitrous oxide

to take some
of the edge off.

It's going to make you
feel nice and relaxed.

Yeah, that's--that's
a terrific idea, Doctor.

Look, I think Clarke's
feeling better already.

I'll be back in a second.

Now, breathe deeply,
Mr. Clarke.

In, out.

In, out.

In, out.

In,

out.

[laughing]

Clarke, wait a second.
Clarke!

Oh, there's nothing
to worry about

I'll have him back
in no time.

Just leave everything to me.

[door opening]

Okay, Hannibal,
I got the truck all rigged.

I think the guys
are comin' up the road,

so I decided to come inside.

Everybody relax.

You'll know
when to tense up.

[inaudible]

Okay, Tawnia, Face,
out the back door.

And go out fighting.

(Face)
And don't bother
to come back.

You just lost yourself
a honey of a job.

Good luck in nowhere.

Yeah, same to you,
you stupid goon.

This place stinks, anyhow.
Tips are lousy.

Nice talkin' to you.

And I hope 60 Minutes
does a close-up on you

so you're all sent
to the electric chair!

[door slamming]

Hey, Hey.

It's not so bad.

You know what?

You need to relax.

Get lost, porky.

I got a truck
full of relaxation

right here with me.

You just simmer down
and we'll talk about it.

Okay?

How you doin'?

Set to deliver.

Truck's out back
with a full load.

New man. He seems fine.

There's sure a lot of people
around here today.

Think we could
step to the back,

take care of some
private business?

If you're gonna make
any deliveries, friend,

you ought to make them
with the man

who has the new
majority interest

in this establishment.

What is this?

(Hannibal)
We had a merger.

The boys here
are the mergees.

They got a new boss.

And that's supposed to be you?

Give you a problem?

Gotta call your mamma?

I said what is this?

I wouldn't ask him,
if I were you.

He's had
the wrong answer

to just about
everything all day.

Now, you came here
to deliver some shine.

Deliver it.

Only, we're gonna
take all of it.

And then we're
gonna pour that slime

down the nearest hole.

You keep talkin', fella,

and I'm gonna stuff you
down that hole myself.

You're Rev. Taylor's friend,
right?

Let's just say

we ain't no friends
of yours, sucker.

[exclaiming]

Hey, hey,
that's valuable shine there.

I think we're
gonna enjoy this.

(Burt)
Let's get out of here!

[groaning]

[groans]

[both grunting]

(Burt)
Get out of here!

[truck doors slamming]

[grunting]

(Tawnia)
I couldn't blow up
the second truck.

[tires screeching]

Hey, man,
we ain't losin' them.

We'll lose them.

[guns firing]

We ain't cutting it here,
Hannibal.

Let's go
to the smoke, man.

[hissing]

[car engine revving]

[tires screeching]

Now, I told you boys
we'd take all your shine.

Do it, Face.

(Hannibal)
Now, you get to walk home.

And tell your boss
he's out of business.

From now on,
we own the road.

What happened
to the trucks?

Taylor's escalatin'.

He's hired
a bunch of city guys.

They got guns,
grenades,

the whole shot.

Said he's gonna put us
out of business.

Well...

We can escalate, too.

Thank you. This ladder
is a little rickety.

Whoo!

[laughs]
Thank you.

Perfect landing.

Well, you gotta be careful.
You might hurt yourself.

Better let us do
the climbing around here.

You don't think a woman
can handle a little work?

All I said is that you should
let us do the climbing.

You're a strange
sort of man, B.A.

No. Ain't no different
than all the rest.

I think you are.

You're, um...

You're special.

Well, Drew,
I'm surprised.

I didn't think
you'd have the plumbing

to take
the humiliation in person.

Oh, we just dropped by

to, uh,
let you people know

you're playin'
with the wrong guy.

We got the right guy.
And we're not playin'.

What we want is for you
to close up shop.

Today.

[all laughing]

[scoffs]

You trying to be funny?

I'm trying to save you
ten miles of misery.

We know where the roads run.
We hurt you once

and we'll keep
knocking you down

every time
you're dumb enough to get up.

I got too many men.

(Hannibal)
Oh, you'd sneak through
a few loads.

We'll take that
battery acid you sell

and spill it all over
the road enough times,

you'll go broke.

[all laughing]

I get it.

Looking for a piece
of the action around here,

is that it?

Us?

We wanna bury you.

You're lucky we're friends
of the Reverend,

'cause he wouldn't like that.

All these threats.

(Drew)
All these threats.

Maybe I'll put a torch
to this place right now

with you all in it.
How about that, huh?

How about this, sucker?

[clears throat]

Get out.

[car door closing]

[car engine starting]

We could've given as good
as we got in there, Mr. Drew.

Oh, we're gonna give
more than we got, Burt.

You can count on that.

[car engine starting]

Murdock,
you all right?

I believe Operation 70mm

is going to be a success,
gentlemen.

[guffawing]

Not bad reception,
huh, Reverend?

Better than cable.

What are we
looking for,

where the place is?

That and
something more.

Yeah, like what they got
waitin' for us.

They'll be set up

before they come here
to make trouble

and you can stuff your
piggy bank on that.

What you got so far, Face?

A couple of cameras
in the trees,

a few trip wires

and, uh, several fairly
obvious booby-traps.

Pretty amateurish.

Yeah, they may be amateurs

but anybody trying that hard
to hide somethin'

must really have
somethin' to hide.

That's a big operation.

But it's getting ready
to shrink.

Well,
there goes our Emmy.

But we got enough
to move on.

Enough?

What if they have
mine fields out there?

Hannibal,
this guy is so mad,

he's lookin' for a river
to dump us in.

Face, now they may have
asked us to dance

but they don't know

that we're gonna do
a flamenco

on their little heads.

Sergeant,
you ready to fold,

spindle and mutilate?

Hey, now wait a second.

I don't wanna risk
any more lives

than I've already lost
around here.

That's just what
I'm tryin' to prevent.

Maybe there's
some other way.

Reverend, sometimes they
don't give a person a choice.

I'm sorry, Reverend,

but he's just
telling it like it is.

We don't like goin' around
hurting people,

but we do like
wrecking a bad still.

You gotta
have faith in us.

Amen, brother.

[birds chirping]

[whirring]

[static buzzing]

(Frank)
That figures.

So much for this
$49.95 low-tech special.

Well, I'll go get somebody
to check it out.

See if it clears.

Maybe we can
shine it on.

[sighing]

[groaning]

(Murdock)
Man!

[static crackling]

What's that noise?

[snorting]

[Murdock squealing]

[snorting]

Ain't nothing but
a wild razorback.

[birds chirping]

[grunting]

[grunting]

(Hannibal)
Hold it!

Just hold it
right there,

or these ladies die.

(Burt)
Get out!

[Burt snickers]

Well, Look at the saviors
of Arcadia County now.

Okay, hold it
right there.

You know, as soon as
Drew comes

I'm gonna get you
a nice,

down-home fire
to warm you right up.

That's just what we need.

Fido on the rug,
the evening paper,

some slippers.

and you can throw in
a couple of 30-ought-6
if you feel like it.

You guys talk tough

for people a little close
to being dead.

Lock them up!

Thank you.

You two all right?
Where's Reverend Taylor?

(Tawnia)
They caught us alone.

(Stephanie)
My dad had to help out
somebody in his church

an old man that he takes
to the doctor once a month.

Guess we kind of helped
wreck your plan, huh, guys?

Well, let's just say
you were a bit of a surprise.

But I'm sure it's only
a, uh, temporary setback.

Don't worry about
anything, Stephanie.

Ain't nothing
really happen yet.

And when it does,
they ain't gonna like it.

That's my promise to you.

Plenty of overhead light,

good power source.

Just like
a hardware store.

I like this place.

What do you think,
B.A.?

Let's do it.

Okay. Murdock,
you work with Face.

Tawnia, Stephanie,
you're gonna work with me.

Let's go!

Wait a minute.
This is insane.

(Murdock)
This?

Stephanie,
this isn't even close.

You want insane,

ask me to write you
a letter sometime.

Come on, ladies.

[retching]

Let's crank her up.

[engine sputtering]

[sputtering stops]

[engine sputtering]

[sighing]

Where did you
put 'em?

The barn.

Nice and tight.

Burn it.

[engine sputtering]

[engine rumbling]

What's that?

Everybody
get out of here, now!

(Drew)
Move it!

Come on! Come on!

What have they got
in there?

I didn't think
they had dirt.

Walter, you and Frank
take the door.

And I'll, uh...

[guns firing]

[Murdock guffawing]

[guns firing]

[bullets ricocheting]

[panting]

[snickering]

[gun firing]

Always worked for John Wayne.

Time to start
the temperance meeting, B.A.

(Murdock)
Hannibal!

All right!

The bar's closed.

Hands over your heads
and start repenting

or we're gonna drop
a little hellfire

on your kick-a-poo juice
and send you to kingdom come.

Now, drop your guns
and come on out!

Move, suckers!

[gun firing]

Whoa!

[groaning]

Got a little advice
for you, pal.

Next time
a preacher talks,

you better listen.

[panting]

So, I bet
you're, uh...

Hannibal, I've really
gotta give you credit.

I never could figure out

how you were gonna
get it done.

Reverend, sometimes our work
is kind of like yours.

It's a matter of faith.

(Tawnia)
I'm not sure

that's how Drew
and his friends

are gonna look at all this.

All they're gonna see

are some small rooms
for a long time.

I'll tell you one thing,

you sure made my job here
a lot easier.

By that, I mean the job
I'm supposed to be doin'.

Not busting stills

and fighting
moonshine runners.

Reverend, when you do
the Lord's work,

a man has many duties.

Amen.

Bye-bye.

Bye.

Good luck to you.
Take care.

We'll see you.

One thing still
bothers me, though...

Doesn't it strike any
of you guys as funny?

What's funny?

Oh, we been
on this whole trip

and we haven't seen

one single fuzzy little
fruit bat. Not one.

Murdock,
I read that article.

It's fruit gnats.

Gnats?

Gnats?
Gnats?

Yeah, little bitty things.
You know, gnats.

Gnats?

But that perverts

my whole understanding
of the cosmos.

I don't know how
anything works

if they're gnats.

[sighs]
Oh, I'm back
to square one.

Hey, Hannibal,
take a look.

I, um...

I really wanted
to thank you.

No sweat.

Well,
even if it wasn't,

I especially wanted
to thank you.

(Stephanie)
I'm just sorry that
we didn't get a chance

to be better friends,
B.A.

Well, I got these guys
I gotta keep on wheels.

You know. And besides,
the Army is after us.

Anywhere we go,
there's trouble.

If we stay in one place
too long,

things get kind of hot.

Maybe some day you'll
work that out, you know.

Yeah.

Sergeant, I think
it's about time we rolled.

And maybe then
I can see you.

Yeah.

(Hannibal)
Time to go, Sergeant.

Let's move out.
