Episode Summary

Toby Griffith (Kristen Meadows) hires the A-Team to help her protect her murdered father's investment in a South African diamond mine. A ruthless South African businessman will stop at nothing even murder to steal it from her. In order to keep the mine operating, the A-Team must find a way to get dynamite to the mine and blow open an air shaft so workers won't suffocate while working the deeper recesses of the mine. And, of course, stopping the bad guys before they do any more harm will also be on the agenda.

Episode Quotes

Moran: I sell good stuff here, and everyone knows it.
Murdock: Oh don�t make me laugh. No kippers, no English herring bone tweeds, no meet pies, no Rolls Royce petrol caps, no original dressings of Hey Jude. You sir are a miserable excuse for a shop keep.

Scheckter: A little healthy advice, mister. Don�t work for that lady. It�s real rough country out there, and something might bite you in the middle of the night.
Hannibal: Oh, great. You know, since I gave up golf, my life has been real boring.

Hannibal: Face, you're turning luck into an art form.
Face: Well, art form's a bit much. I prefer to think of it as talent for the remarkable.

Face: Don't you smile at me like that. That's not even a real smile. It's just a bunch of teeth playing with my mind.


Episode Disguises & Aliases

Hannibal: Carnie (Funfair side stall), Doctor.
Face: Doctor, Edmund Morris the UN attache to Zulabwe.
