Hannibal, seeing from a distance what appears to be an impending disaster, [[SoMuchForStealth quickly starts brainstorming a plan to violently take out the security staff and rush through]], but it turns out Murdock also knows Swahili and responds in kind.

(Though since they're up against a CIA agent and Face is an Army Intelligence officer, he's also uniquely qualified to figuring out how the other person thinks - note that his plan only goes wrong when [[spoiler:Pike]], who's a different animal altogether, takes matters into his own hands).

The situation did not improve after the U.S. invasion and the subsequent ethnic infighting, with the district becoming a militant hotbed and clashes with American soldiers being frequent, leaving many of them with this view of it. It's no surprise that Morrison is very hesitant to send a mission there, or that the Army brass contracted with a mercenary firm instead of sending their own men after the plates.[[/note]]

Deleted line(s) 159 (click to see context) :
* MissingTrailerScene: Along with [[spoiler:Hannibal's line being different in the movie]], a scene in an ad where Face says to B.A., "I'm sorry, I can't quit looking at your hair", and B.A saying, "I'm B.A., you're about to be unconscious." aren't used. In addition, B.A. whistles the classic A-Team theme tune in the trailer, while in the movie, he hums tunelessly.
