Episode Summary

When Kenyan game warden Kim is shot dead by poachers after refusing to take the customary cut for turning a blind eye on 'harvesting' animals hides and elephant tusks, his sister and colleague Kamara Kaboko travels all the way to LA to enlist the A-team. On arrival Murdock makes it his mission to reacquaint BA with his 'roots' (which are probably in West -, not East Africa). They stop a poach raid, plant a wire to find the local smuggle king and order him to hand over all his stock and pay nearly half a million dollars for his past catches; when he tries to evacuate, they ambush his plain with an elephant herd, and call on the next chain in the illegal traffic, cleverly setting them up against each-other... - IMDB

Episode Quotes

Hannibal: Of course, we do have one problem, though. Uh, we're going to have to fly to Kenya, and BA is, well he's not that fond of airplanes.
B.A.: Whatcha talkin' about, man?
Hannibal: Uh, well, you know, uh, you're uh...
Murdock: Scared. The word is scared. Scared. You're scared to fly.
B.A.: Huh, me? Scared of flyin'? That's just an act I put on sometimes. I ain't afraid of nothin'.

Murdock: There ain't no reason on this earth why you shouldn't feel fine, Big Guy. I can't imagine the excitement must be pulsin' through your veins. Do you know where you goin'? Does he know where he's goin'? You going to your homeland. You going back home to Kenya. It's the homeland of your great-great-great-great-granddaddy. And I can't tell ya how happy I am for ya. Can't wait to see the expression on your face when you get off the plane.

Murdock: Plane. Jumbo. 4 big engines. 60 million pounds of thrust at full throttle.
Kamara: You really like to fly, huh?
Murdock: Oh, I love to fly.
B.A.:
Yeah, I love flying, too.
Murdock: Do you really? Do you? You ain.t kidding me, are you? Cause if you love to fly, that means we have something to converse about when we get on the plane. I mean, when you just think about it, there ain�t nothing between you and the outside world but one little piece of sheet metal. You're traveling at 600 miles an hour, and there ain't almost nothing that can wrong. I mean, if you lost three out of four of your engines, that baby could still land. And if the fourth engine caught fire, there'd be an automatic fire extinguisher to put the fire out. And those babies almost never explode, even though there is almost 100,000 gallons of fuel in the wings.

B.A.: I ain't afraid to fly. And ain't afraid of no monkeys, either.

Episode Errors

The elephant herd as directed by Murdock are not African but Asian species. (This was probably done because Asian elephants are much easier to train). - IMDB

As the girl is being taken from the house and B.A. and Hannibal charge the bad guys, one of the bad guys shoots his gun as if it were semi-automatic although previously it could be seen he was holding a bolt-action type of rifle. - IMDB
