Episode Summary

Face decides to invest some of the teams funds in 60% of a boxer, Billy Marquette, but looking him up the team finds his sister Tina bend over his miserable body after Sonny Monroe's ruffians beat him up to force him to loose the fight of his life against a certain Dixie Joe so the gangster can earn enough money to finance a lucrative drug deal with a Columbian. Hannibal enjoys concocting one of his more elaborate plans. First Gabriel is taken out of the equation because of a 'hand wound' fighting BA, who thus becomes his obvious successor, managed by Hannibal, who supposedly owes gambling debts to a bookie; buying those off makes the villains pay back Face's investment with a nice profit. Then BA is trained by Murdock, supposedly now in gangster Monroe's pocket, so the stage is all set for a finale with punch... - IMDB

Episode Quotes

B.A.: Look Face, we work hard for our money, man. We don't wanna be investing our money in some boxer. We should be investing in something safe. Like gold.

Murdock: This is a special combination of emollient and liniment oils together with the tenacious garlic root from Tanzania. This will make your blood sing, it�ll make it come alive. Yeah, just a little bit. A little bit, and then you kneed, kneed, kneed, kneed, kneed, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, kneed, kneed, kneed.

Hannibal: Hello [Sighs]
Monroe's Girlfriend: Hello
Hannibal: Here, Allow Me [offering her a towel]
Monroe's Girlfriend: Certainly
Hannibal: Help yourself [offering her bottle of spirits]
Hannibal: I never allow a really beautiful woman... who's wet to get too dry.
Monroe's Girlfriend: Hmm.

Monroe's Girlfriend: Do you know that when Sonny and I first met, he changed the combination of his safe to my measurements? Ooh, isn't that romantic?
Hannibal: Yeah!

Face: 38-26-38. Nice.
Hannibal: You're sure about the numbers?
Face: Hannibal, some people are connoisseurs of wine, some are into art, me... need I say more?
Hannibal: No.
