Episode Summary

The Golden Pagoda restaurant is owned by a good friend of the A-Team and they have helped out the Yeng's 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. - IMDB

Episode Quotes

Hannibal: Now, if you'd taken the trouble to look, you'd find that I got an 8-round 9mm pointed at you under the table. Now the question is, which one of us is gonna get hurt the worst if we open fire? Go ahead, try it sucker.

Murdock: Mack Murdock was tired of paper cups and paper plates and bleary eyed broads with yellow teeth. This trip to Chinatown was like a ride on a neon horse: the hot sounds, the smell of grease crashing in on him. And he remembered Sam Ying and that night in Saigon when he and the A-Team huddled in basement of Sam's house. And rocket fire blew holes in the walls. And it was scorched into his memory.

B.A.: That night, there was a new private eye in town, and his name was B.A. Baracus. Right now he's looking down at the Maltese fool, thinkin' maybe he oughta break his arm, and cause him serious pain.
