Episode Summary

The team goes see a wrestling win by world champion Hulk Hogan, a colleague of BA's in Vietnam, and accepts his plea to help keep open a center for street kids in Venice, LA, which the Carter crime family wants and already has the bank ready to foreclose and sell to them if the next loan payment fails. Face figures out patriarch Victor Carter's past under his original name, Kotero, and the criminal connection with the father of the center's devoted manager Dicki Gordon: a gold transport robbery, the loot of which is probably buried under the center. The Carters may send in a bunch of goons, Hulks friends are a few sizes bigger. Hannibal pretends to be a crooked FBI agent after the gold, but MP Col. Decker is also on to the team... - IMDB
