Complete story — includes the ending

The A-Team travels to Hong Kong after Hannibal goes missing in action during a solo mission to locate a nuclear core; adding to the problem is that if not stored properly, it will slowly poison anyone within its vicinity. With the assistance of Stockwell, they hope to A) complete Hannibal's mission in time and B) find and save Hannibal himself. The mission is successful, and Stockwell gives the A-Team 12 hours of vacation time as a reward for doing things his way (since Hannibal was not around to challenge him for once). Guest stars: Soon Tek-Oh, Nancy Kwan, Rosalind Chao and Dustin Nguyen. Note: First time the A-Team is led by Stockwell. This episode aired on Tuesday at 9:00 PM (after Matlock ).
