Outline

B.A.’s friend Jase is sent to a prison, where he must fight in death matches for the amusement of the warden and several high-profile gamblers. Jase is able to escape but is captured again in front of B.A., who enlists the other members of the A-Team to help out his friend. In the end, they use the camera for the fights to get the warden and everyone else involved on film; the warden is fired and Jase is revealed to have already served his time, since the warden trumped up fake crimes to keep him around. At the beginning and end of the episode, Hannibal (disguised as his own agent) is trying to get another job for himself; when the news about the A-Team’s efforts hit the TVs, he humorously almost reveals he was involved.
