Complete story — includes the ending

When dining at a restaurant where Murdock is employed, Face and Frankie try to prevent three mobsters from being able to assassinate an important customer coming in later. However, a hitman shoots Face, leaving him badly wounded and nearing death. Murdock and Frankie are left helpless as they are also taken hostage. Murdock's lunacy manages to concoct a way to get a message out; he writes "HELP" on a pizza that B.A. picks up, allowing him and Hannibal to try to rescue the group; however a corrupt cop takes a hostage to permit the A Team to be captured and the "hit" to go on. Hannibal however manages to concoct a plan that turns the tables on the three hitmen being knocked out cold by the A Team; preventing the killing from taking place and allowing Hannibal, B.A. and Frankie to get Face to a hospital in time. Guest Stars: Mills Watson and Marc Alaimo Note: Although this was the last episode of the series to be broadcast, it is, in fact, the penultimate episode. It was aired out of order more than two months after "The Grey Team", for reasons that remain unclear. A visual clue of the order of the episodes is that in "The Grey Team", Murdock is seen wearing a shirt that says "Fini", the French word for "Finished", whilst in this episode he is seen wearing a shirt that reads "Almost Fini".
