Action!

Don't be afraid, I came to take you out.

Come on, String, come on, move it!

Where do you keep it? What? That monster machine of yours. I don't know what

you're talking about.

String, I've got a heat seeker targeting the Jet Ranger.

Kate, roll out!

Mr. Mayor, I very much appreciate your intercession with the newspapers.

Small contribution to your upcoming campaign.

Tony will see you out.

Sorry about that.

He'll be afraid.

I'm a friend of Dominic Santini's. I came to take you out.

I'm on the school.

You won't tell him? No, señorita.

Wait.

Thank you. Vaya con Dios, señorita.

Que Dios la bendiga.

The guy's just trying to do his job. Oh, well, the next time I'll buy a couple

more tickets from the policeman's ball.

Mr. Santini, I need information.

So what am I, a hostile witness?

Was she forced by errands down there against her will? We can call the

Mexican government.

Well, not exactly.

Not exactly. Kidnap doesn't print very well on extradition papers.

He invited her.

Oh, he was her lover.

I thought you said she was his prisoner.

Look.

He's a hood.

He beat her. He wouldn't let her go. He kept armed guards around the house to

keep the hitman out and her in. Now, is that clear enough?

Yeah, apparently.

She lived in Argentina with her grandmother.

He met her, invited her to Mexico, complete with a sister for a chaperone,

no less.

Nice touch.

It worked. When she wanted to leave, his ego got in the way. I don't know. You're

describing a lover's quarrel. Well, we went to pick her up with a lot of

firepower. It wasn't exactly a lover's paradise.

How'd you manage?

Luck.

Well, luck isn't going to help our case. Mexico's out of local jurisdiction.

So what are you doing here?

Mr. Santini, I'd love to get this guy.

He's into every racket in town, and he runs them all down there.

Now, unfortunately, he has contacts south of the border, which makes

extradition very hard to come by.

But if we could make...

A kidnapped girl case work.

We could put him out of business.

Hey, guys.

How do I look?

You got her statement?

You look great.

I feel great.

Now, first of all, we're going to get you some clothes, and then we're going

to work on getting you home. Let's go, Uncle Tom.

See you later.

She staying with you guys?

Yeah, for a couple of days.

I'll put her on a plane. You better keep her out of sight for a while.

Airports, crowds.

A guy like Ahrens can get away with murder.

thing about these old steerments.

You think getting the oil pan cover off is trouble enough, then you drop a wing

nut, and you have to be a contortionist to get it.

Thanks.

My pleasure.

Is there something I can do for you?

Something I can do for you?

Well, I thought I'd get a much better welcome than that after traveling all

the way from Polk County, Texas, just to find you, Stringfellow Hawk.

You know, you could wear this around your neck.

Katelyn.

Kepenny Katelyn.

I know that.

How'd you find me?

Chopper pilot with a name like Stringfellow Hawk. I just called the

first 300 S-Hawks in the phone book.

What is that?

That's a Tyler mount.

Use it for shooting film out of choppers.

You do that fancy flying stuff?

Yeah, sometimes.

So what brought you here?

Oh, I had some time off.

You know, after you shut up the town and everything, I took a leave of absence.

Didn't want to be a flying meter maid anymore.

So where do you keep it?

What? That monster machine of yours.

What monster machine?

You know, that black battleship with the rotors.

It's the most incredible helicopter I've ever seen in my life. I don't know what

you're talking about.

Oh, you don't want to talk about it.

I have nothing to talk about.

Okay.

Uh, there's one thing I have to tell you.

I brought your friend back.

I found his remains out in the desert.

I'm real sorry.

Thanks.

Hey.

You saved my life, even if you don't want to admit it.

Stop when you get to the plate.

I can't. It's free.

Not me free like money. I mean free like land of the free, home of the brave

free.

He must have fed you.

Oh, fast.

Flown in fresh daily from everywhere.

When I talked to your grandmother, I just couldn't believe it.

Can't figure out how you could take up with someone like that.

He was charming.

He was romantic.

And I guess that's why I feel so dirty now.

No, no, honey, no.

No, not dirty.

No. Young, yes.

Maybe even a little innocent.

Not dirty.

Holly! It was Aaron!

No, no, it wasn't. No, honey.

No.

Oh, Uncle Don.

It was a nightmare and it won't end.

Little by little.

Little by little, sweetheart.

Pretty.

This isn't a contest.

We're friends.

Oh.

I haven't seen her.

She has an uncle named Santini.

Oh, yeah?

No kidding.

My friend misses her.

Well, if I see her, I'll tell her.

You tell her if she comes back, my friend will forgive her. But if we have

to come back and get her, somebody's gonna get hurt.

No deal, no promises. I just don't have enough work for another pilot right now.

But if you want to hang around part-time... It's a deal. What's a deal?

What you're offering. I'm not offering nothing.

Except to hang around.

Part-time.

And maybe fly a stunt in a movie.

You mean it?

I don't know. I said maybe.

Some people say after a funeral, you should go out with friends and think of

living.

She's something, isn't she?

A bad dream like she just came out of, and she's encouraging him.

Well, that was a pretty philosophical mouthful.

What kind of a crack is that?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, okay?

No, it's not okay.

If you've got an attitude problem, just keep it to yourself.

What did I say?

I got something else to say. This is a fine way to start a job.

Well, if I can't say what I think, then I'm gonna pack up my things and be on my

way. The hell you will. I'm not through chewing you out yet.

Well, how long is that gonna take?

I don't know.

Maybe not till after you finish that movie stunt.

Please. Come on. We're losing the light.

Now, when you get up here, crab over there. Check on the girls. Wait for me.

That's it. That's great. Now, Carl, what I'm going to want here is a full shot of

the helicopter and then zooming into a two-shot of them by the door. Can you do

that? Is that going to be a lighting problem for you, Sam?

You got it? All right.

This is the 50 millimeter on here?

What do you do in Polk Town?

Oh, well, I was flying traffic for the Highway Patrol.

But you see, this town was more like its own country.

The sheriff and the judge and the ranchers and everything, they could do

anything they wanted.

Then Hawk came along.

I thought you were his girlfriend.

Hardly. We just met out there.

He's so sad.

I mean, his friend's death really shook him up.

Yeah, well, if he'd been there a day sooner, his friend'd still be alive.

Hawk knows that.

It's a tough thing to carry around.

Hey, I'd like to ask you a question.

Do I look as dumb as I feel, huh?

Dumber.

Boy, you sure know how to butter up the boss, don't you?

Hi,

there. Are you the fellow who saves girls' lives?

Well, I'm not out fighting famine and pestilence, Senorita.

Pestilence? Where the hell have you been?

Every time I tried to leave, the phone would ring.

Nobody was ever there.

Must have been Crosslands.

You know, I, uh...

Saw the results of your shopping trip.

Did you leave anything for the rest of the city?

Not a shoe.

I broke Dom.

I thought I'd have to hock a chopper.

Good of you to join us, Mr. Park.

Real happy to be here, Mr. Carlson. Yeah, good. Look, we got problems.

Big ones. We're over budget and we're over schedule and we gotta be out of

here by Saturday.

Making movies is not our job.

Yeah, we just do those little magic things that add to the excitement.

Oh, is that what they do with what we do?

Look, fellas.

Please, just do your air stunts in one take.

Okay? Bless you.

Nice outfit.

Come on, Dom, let's go.

All right, honey, do you know what to do?

Just mark the spot in the sky.

Everybody's a comic, right?

Please, Miss Bebo!

Forget it, forget it. I changed my mind. It's too dangerous, and you never did

the stunt before.

I'd never kissed a boy before either.

Until the first time.

Somehow I managed.

Hey, Dom, can I see you for a minute?

All right, rehearsal, people!

Settle! Come here, come here, kids. Right over here.

Stand on that mark.

Stand right there. Now, this is a pickup from where the stars left off. It's

right before your big air act. So, Hawk and, uh, Caitlin, this is your last

moment together.

So, hold her.

Oh, joy.

I'll go on. You're gonna miss me. Oh, like a toothache. Right, right. Now, say

goodbye and kiss her. Remember, we're trying to match this with the stars'

exit.

Let's walk through this again.

Come on. Let's have some feeling in it.

You do, and I'll bite your lip.

Yeah, yeah. Okay. Great. Great. That's it. Now you move over to the chopper.

Kids. Kids.

Great. Great. Now you move over to the chopper.

That's it. Great.

Uh-huh.

All right, now, Caitlin, this is where you were flying in to rescue your war

correspondent boyfriend, and suddenly, bang!

I got it. You got it? The revolutionary shoot, and suddenly you're hit. Then you

spin around a couple of times, you land behind that building, and Whitey's gonna

send up a fireball so that we all think you're blown to smithereens. You got it?

Like I said, piece of cake.

Piece of cake.

I'm scared to death.

It's your first time up. Just take it easy.

Play it safe.

And make sure you get back in one piece in case you need a second tape.

Very funny.

How's it feel?

The cyclic's a little stiff.

Just play it safe all the way. Come on, boys and girls. Come on. We haven't got

all day. All right? Okay.

Easy as pie now.

Ready?

Ready.

Got trouble?

Use your collective.

Put your nose up. The cyclic's jammed. Gone.

What are you doing? She's wonderful.

Finally get a stuntwoman with some guts and nervous. Now they... More!

Thank you.

push-pull tube on its own.

There's ring scars on that. That was the greatest stunt I have ever seen. We got

it all on film.

Are you sure you wouldn't like another take?

Welcome back to Tier Affirmative. You did great.

Hey, those are those two guys back there. What guys?

I tried to tell you before. They had a message to deliver for Holly and damn

near broke my arm doing it. Hey!

Keep your eye on Holly. All right.

What can I do for you? I want to see Aarons. He's not here.

Hey, didn't you hear me? Hey, hold it here.

Hold it, hold it. What is this?

Hey, I want to see Aarons.

I'm trying to tell him. Well, forget it, forget it. You want to talk business,

you talk to me, I'm his associate.

This is personal.

Well, he's in Mexico.

When's he coming back?

Maybe never.

You tell Aarons wherever he is. But leave that girl alone.

That girl.

You tell Ahrens to stay away from Holly Matthews. He's done her enough damage.

If he bends a hair on her head, we'll go back down there and tear him apart.

Again!

He'll understand what you mean.

Come on.

Very nice to me.

Well, now, why wouldn't I be?

I wouldn't blame you if you were angry.

I mean, String's a special guy.

And you just got here, and suddenly I come prancing into the picture.

I got a great idea.

Let's just divide them up into sections. You know, like a bowl?

You take the rump, and I'll take the shoulder.

What are you two guys talking so seriously about, huh?

Beef, what are you two guys talking so seriously about?

Turkey.

We're gonna have a little talk with Aarons.

Are you out of your mind? He's a killer.

He wasn't home. We just left a message. Hey, I'm leaving. It's that simple. I

can't do this to you people. Now, just stop that. Stop that talk.

Hello?

I got a package for, uh, Miss Matthews. That's me.

He can just sign here on line number five. Yeah, I'll sign.

Okay.

All right.

Which one of you guys sent it?

Well, not me.

I, uh, work for a living.

Get out of here. Thank you, sir.

Hey,

wait.

Let me check this thing.

Stop teasing me.

I'm sorry, baby.

Spider doesn't kill.

It produces pain.

Come back, Holly.

Hey, Dom, we gotta get her as far away from here as possible, right? No,

please, I just don't want to cause you any more trouble.

Shh, easy does it.

Maybe we should call the police.

No, I'll take her to the cabin.

You get her up there.

I'll check Aaron's out.

To here.

And us.

And all of us.

You love it here.

Yeah, you ran away once.

I do it all the time.

But you have nice friends.

I'm lucky.

Especially Caitlin.

Yeah.

She sure is.

She's not for you.

Who said she was?

Yeah, it's a wolf.

It's kind of nice to hear there aren't many left, you know.

It probably won't be very long.

Holly.

Holly. Holly.

Don't put me on the spot like that.

It's Caitlin, isn't it?

It's no one.

Yeah, I know the type.

Pretty smile, jokes, one of the boys.

Sure she is until she gets you.

I'm gonna knock it off. Hey, I saw you on the movie set.

That's a scene in a picture. Don't give me that. The director had to practically

pull you apart.

Hey, Holly.

I didn't mean to say anything.

I might make you misunderstand.

It's not you.

Just as soon as you get back, I'll go up and relieve string.

But be careful going up there.

You need clearance when you cross north of Santa Barbara.

Why? Why?

Didn't you read your map?

Because it's a restricted zone, that's why.

Uncle Sam says keep out.

Oh, yeah?

What's the military throwing up at us these days?

They'll shoot you down, little girl, no doubt about that.

Gee, a boss who worries.

I bought my chopper.

That's it.

Aw, shoot.

I forgot my map case.

Crank her up for me.

Don't forget your powder puff.

This didn't just happen, but we checked the copter. There's no indication of

foul play.

And the other incident, we checked the engine.

The bolt was old.

Two accidents in one week?

You couldn't buy a coincidence like that. Well, unless we find otherwise.

What do you guys want, a dead body on your desk?

Look, I'm not deaf, dumb, and blind.

Yes, I think you guys have trouble, but what I think doesn't matter.

Proof matters.

Now, if you've got any indication that somebody's involved in this, that's

another ballgame.

Hey, you know who did it. I don't know, and neither do you guys know.

Not in this country.

Now, I want to get errands in the worst possible way.

And if you can tie him in with this, I'll hang him from the highest tree.

Until then... I'll have a nice day.

Yeah.

Let's get the hose back on the truck. His hands are tied.

Yeah, but ours aren't.

Look, I'm not going to sit around and wait for Aaron's next move.

What are you going to do?

Get Airwolf and go south.

Hey.

Danny, wrap up the reporters.

Mr. Santini.

Phone.

Yeah, Santini here.

This is at Aaron's.

I understand you're looking for me.

Speak of the devil.

Yeah, yeah, I know where it's at.

Sure, we'll be there.

Okay.

He wants to meet us.

He's on.

Ev, see you later.

Again, fortunately, no one was injured.

This is Barney Cabral reporting live from the scene of the helicopter

explosion at Santini Air.

So they found anything?

No. No sign it's been tampered with.

But that doesn't mean it wasn't, that's for sure.

Hey, um... Do you know where Hawk and Don went? I turned around and they

disappeared. Yeah, it was a funny thing.

This guy, Aaron's, that you're having all the trouble with, he called here. He

wanted to talk to him. What?

No, they can't.

Polly, they can't talk about me.

Hey, they know what they're doing.

Look, if you're ever going to be free of this Aaron's fella, maybe now's the

time. They'll get hurt over me.

Nah, I can tell you something about those two.

They can pretty much handle anything. Aaron's included.

He's in the syndicate and he's a killer and he lies.

He lies?

Teddy, get the captain to check it out.

Huck made love to me last night.

Well, that's really none of my business.

He wants to marry me, of course, but it just can't be.

You know, I know we didn't like each other at first, but now I feel like

we're practically sisters and I could tell you anything.

It just wouldn't work out.

Well, like I said, it's between you and him.

I want to leave.

It'll be better this way, I know. Will you help me?

Wait for the guys. No, I want to leave now.

Maybe they worked something out. It'll be better this way, I know.

Will you help me, please, Kate?

What do you need?

I want to go home.

To Buenos Aires?

But first I want to say goodbye to Hawk.

Alone at his cabin.

Would you take me there?

Please?

I'm sure Santini wouldn't mind if I stole one of his helicopters.

That's the machine, huh?

Said no cops.

Didn't want to get caught shorthand.

Paul, I gave you my word.

Hey, whatever else you think of me, I am a reasonable man.

Reasonable enough to haunt a young girl out of her mind with your threats?

Threats? Mrs. Santini, I only wanted two things from Holly Matthews.

My coded account book, which she stole when she ran away with you.

And some peace of mind.

With her, out of my life. Out of your life? She was your prisoner.

Ah, I tried to get rid of her a half a dozen times.

I would have dumped her in the street if it hadn't been for that book.

Hey, haven't you caught on yet?

I mean, she's crazy.

She makes it up as she goes along.

Everything with her in life is a drama.

You spiced it up lately.

Well, sure I did.

She's a good-looking woman.

You know, when we first got together, it was glorious. But after a while, I

couldn't breathe. I mean, if I smiled at a waitress, if I tipped the dancer, she

was all over him.

You sure you just smiled? Oh, come on. She tried to knife one girl.

I mean, my friends were hitting on her. There were spies.

Her life was in danger.

She even sent herself a dead cat once in the mail.

Oh, I see that rang a bell.

She tried to kill herself yet?

Has she tried to kill you?

She will.

She even cut the brake lines on my car once. Sent out notes saying her life was

in danger. She wanted to be rescued.

Oh, no.

No. I don't want that.

No thanks.

Well, what do you want from us?

Huh? Why'd you call us here?

What, to get back your book?

I gotta tell you, Ahrens, if we had it, we'd have turned it over to the police.

I got my book. I found it in your trailer on the movie lot. In her bag.

No, no.

I'm going home, and I don't want you guys chasing me in that machine.

I don't need that kind of trouble in my life.

Not from her fantasies.

So, what do you say, huh?

Let's part, friends.

That's for saying you would have dumped her in the street.

Hawk must be very close for him to risk his life to get you out of that town.

We'd never met.

That gang just had me down and Hawk flew over.

I've had a lot of men close to me.

Of course, they never stay close.

Always something happens.

They get together.

Make up lies about me.

Or there's someone like you. Helicopter squawking 1-2-0-0 at Angel 7.

You're about to enter a restricted zone. Hey, that's us.

This is Borgor, Charlie.

Lady, you're flying into a no-no zone.

Roger. Listen, we'll just do a 30 degree left. With your permission, cut your

corner. We're a little low on fuel.

You girls will never learn.

Chauvinist and out.

What's that for?

Just keep flying.

You heard the man. That's a restricted area.

Straight ahead.

They'll shoot us down, Holly.

And String won't have anybody either.

Two of them were headed up to String's cabin. They took off just a couple of

minutes ago. Over.

Thanks, Ev. Out.

Tom, give me both turbos again.

Both turbos.

Here we go.

Give me a magnetic.

265 magnetic.

I want Caitlin to stay away from that area.

Damn that woman. She's still coming right in.

What if it's not just a woman?

Mother of God.

Holly, what good is this?

And come on, this is crazy.

We can put down, talk to Hawkins. Keep flying.

She still hasn't turned off. I can see that.

Yes, sir. We have them on.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

That's it. We scramble jets for a closer ID.

But if we can't turn them, we shoot them down.

4-4 Charlie, this is Air Force Coastal Defense.

You're instructed to do a 90 left to 175 and get the hell out of there, or we're

gonna blow your fanny off.

Damn,

another bogey just penetrated. Where are those jets?

It, uh, appears to be another helicopter.

Appears? What kind of an identification is appears?

Tell our guys to shoot to kill.

Radar configuration says that thing's a chopper, but no helicopter can do one

and a half mach.

So him that.

Station commencing fire.

Hey, there they are.

String, I've got a heat sinker targeting the jet ranger.

Pop up a sunburst and raise our IR suppressor.

military X-Men. Don't waste your time. I think it's a trap.

Between you and them. Go home. Play catch. They're safe.

Easier said than done.

Hey, take that sunburst.

It's a sniffer.

Come here, Hellfire.

Where to go, Tanglefly?

You just wouldn't believe it if I told you, sir.

Your grandmother says it's beautiful where I'll be vacationing.

She said there's a lake and trees, just like your cabin.

Yeah.

That's what I understand.

I was happy at your cabin.

I loved it there.

Thanks, doc.

With a little love and care, she's gonna be all right.

Yeah.

Just gotta keep a good thought.

Hey, Mr. Santini.

Huh? That new 500's ready to check out any time.

Back to business.

Ah, who cares about business?

I'll take your chopper up.

Oh, hold on.

She's just moving right in.

Hey, I'll have to run her out.

We're a lot bigger than she is.

Hmm.

Did I definitely say that you were hired?

Well... Did I even say maybe?

You definitely didn't say maybe.

Huh.

I work cheap.

Magic words, Dom.

You're hired.
