Episode Summary

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. - IMDB

Episode Quotes

Murdock: Wait a minute, Face. I don�t know what to say. I'm scared to death of dentists. I keep thinking that they're not fixing my teeth, but that they�'re, they're hiding things in there. Dog toys, vacuum cleaners, who knows? Who knows?

Murdock: Can I, can I tell you what I'm really, truly, honest to gum balls scared of? Fruit bats. They're awful, Face. They�re all over the south. Backwood terrors of the night. (with Transylvanian accent) The flap, flap of their little wings, and the smell of cumquats on their feathered breath.
Face: Cumquats?
Murdock: (still with accent) Sure. Vampires have garlic, fruit bats have cumquats.
