Episode Summary

Cpl. Brown asks the Team to investigate the death of her older brother, Paul, who was involved in weapons trafficking at a military base. The Team is unaware that she has alerted Col. Decker as to their whereabouts. When Hannibal catches on, he decides to fool Decker into thinking they have taken refuge at the guest house on an Army base - by making the National Guardsmen think they're being fired upon, thanks to an elaborate setup involving a stereo and a war sound effects record. Decker's men wind up destroying the guest house, only to find nobody inside.. and the Team fast approaching the convoy in a tank! - IMDB

Episode Quotes

Murdock: [Beaver impersonation] Hello? Hello? Wally? Uh, this is the Murdock. Gee, uh, gee, there, there's not a whole lot goin' on out here. Somebody who looked like Lumpy just walked by, but that's about all.

Hannibal: Um, a channel changer, Murdock?
Murdock: Yeah. I mean, usually it's for me. You know, if I get tired of, uh, Ozzy and Murdock, or I Love Murdock, or Murdock for a day, I just flip through the dial, and it's time for Bachelor Murdock, or Have Murdock Will Travel. Like this: [as Walter Cronkite] And now it's time for the weather. ]regular voice] See what I mean?

Faceman: Listen Hannibal, there's about a hundred reasons why I hate this plan of yours, but my biggest objection, even bigger than my objection to letting someone else drive my 'vette, my biggest objection is sending the Golden Age of Television here to back up Tawnia while she's trying to scam a piece of scuzzy luggage like Harnett.
Murdock: Thanks for the support, oh facial one.

Face: Oh, boy, I hate situations like this. You go in trying to help mankind, and, uh, all of a sudden you realize you're adjusting your halo in a two-way mirror.

Murdock: We went to any army base, and decided to follow a soldier home when he picked up a pretty girl. Now, right now he has no idea that we are playing a harmless little joke, and that our entire Candid Murdock audience can hear every word. Now let's listen in, and have some real fun.

Face: I'm impressed.
Hannibal: I know you are Face.
Face: Hannibal, you don't even know what i'm talikng about.
Hannibal: Sure I do. You're impressed because we managed to invade an U.S Army base, drive their tanks around, stay in the guesthouse and blow out of there without a scratch.
Face: Well, that's part of it.
Hannibal: I was'nt finished. We also managed to put away Harnett and his ugly cousins Shaw and Noche. And give Decker an ulcer in the process.
Face: Yeah, I think that about--
Hannibal: Good. Just did'nt want to miss anything.

Murdock: Hey kids, do you know what time it is? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
B.A.: Hannibal, if this fool don't stop that crazy TV talk, I'm gonna knock him out over the airwaves for real.
Murdock: It's Howling Murdock Time!
