episode synopsis: The team gets hired to rescue the daughter of a key witness in a mobster's trial.
impressions: This one was pretty good, filled with action and plot twists. Bullet holes even appeared in the back of the van when bad guys shot at it.

Hannibal wisecrack highlight: Shoots up mobster #1's club to trick him into leading them to mobster #2 (they're enemies) and then parachutes into mobster #2's pool wearing a monster suit.
B.A. toughness highlight: Nothing stood out.
Murdock insanity highlight: Thinks he's a 1950s news reporter, and tries to get sound bites from many people he encounters in this episode.
Face scam highlight: Talks his way into borrowing a helicopter.
