Episode Summary

Face was already enjoying the possibilities to spend the profits from a no-sweat $300,000 job offered by a foxy millionaire when Hannibal guesses right it must by a Decker trap, and goes collect the money dressed as a bum, but a real one gets the briefcase and the MP arms before his nose, and is even erroneously sprung by the other team-members while Smith checked out a restaurant where the bum told him to ask for a certain Wiiliam to get free food- he finds himself in the hands of a dodgy group giving him a full medical and then ordering him to dig his own grave, but escapes and tells the team they must be after homeless men's identities, which sell for a small fortune to criminals. Therefore they set up their own 'mission' to draw potential victims and the goons, run by 'reverend' Face and evangelist Murdock, which sets more in motion then they bargained for... - IMDB

Episode Quotes

Murdock: Hannibal would be holding his turf, knowing that if he was with a wino, we wouldn�t know which wino was his wino, and which wino wasn�t his wino. And the wino he was, is the wino he�d want us to see. You know?

Doctor: Shut up! I'm getting tired of your chatter and your crummy jokes. You act like you're going to a birthday party. We're going to kill you, goofball.
Hannibal: Really? Tough luck for me.

Hannibal: Got a good joke for ya. A gorilla story. This gorilla comes into a bar and orders a drink. Bar tender doesn't know what to do, so he goes down the bar, and he asks the owner. Now the owner, he's never had a gorilla in his bar before, and he doesn't want his bar to become a hangout for gorillas, but he doesn't want this animal to get angry and tear the place up. So he says, serve him, charge him 20 bucks, maybe he'll go away. So the bartender does. He grabs the gorilla's 20, and he says, we don't get many gorillas in here. And the gorilla says, no wonder, look at the prices you charge. (laughs) Great story, huh?

Murdock: Men, remember some of us won't be coming back, but those of us that do, will be back and those of us that don't come back, won't be coming back. Now I point this out because if you don't come back, you won't be back and if you do come back, you will be back. Any questions?


Trivia/Episode Notes
