I am the government in this country, Stringfellow Hawk.

Hawk!

We're going to go back there and bust him out.

Rescue one to airwolf.

Air support, bombard.

Where is this kinsman?

I told you the museum should have sent us to Crete, and we'd be diving for

sunken treasures right now. And miss the chance to explore an ancient Mayan

culture? Listen to this. The Mayan civilization developed a calendar

superior to that of the Egyptians.

And in mathematics, they discovered the use of zero before the Hindus.

And they were considered to be the most advanced.

Does that book say anything about the hotel where we're staying?

You know, last summer, when Mommy took me to China, they had places that didn't

even have hot water.

Look! Down there! Right in the middle of all that jungle!

It's them!

The Mayan pyramids!

That's our dig, alright.

And you kids get two whole weeks to sift through it.

Quite a change in climate crossing over those mountains, huh?

Yeah, it sure is.

Lake Snailpaw.

Locals call it the oven of the gods.

There's our airstrip dead ahead.

Bienvenido! How you doing, boss?

Tip-top, Camargo. Really raring to go.

Where's the bus?

Ah, over here.

Dumb tie rod cracked on me. Don't worry.

Mechanics got it 100%. Forged me a brand new one. As good as Detroit's. You'll

see.

Miguel, you forged that?

Si, senora.

Good work.

Gracias.

You're not gonna find me driving any clients across that lake in any vehicle

that's not 100%. Good way to find yourself as a pile of bleach bones.

On the way to the temples, there's no place to lose a wheel either, especially

with gorillas running around.

There been a lot of gorilla activity lately?

Si, lots.

Oh, Miguel, do not scare my friends.

There is always going to be bandits in those hills, senor.

Alazar is not just a bandit, camargo. This Alazar, he's, uh...

One bad gorilla, huh?

Si, senor.

Across at the nail park, many people are joining the side of Alzar because he

says he is against Americans.

Sir Hathaway, we got to work out that trip.

Follow me.

What have you got for me?

I see, my friend, you're going to be happy.

Sixth century.

Nicest pre-Columbian stuff you ever saw.

But are you going to be able to smuggle it all at one time?

I have this private plane to load up. I can take out a fortune.

You just get the shipment ready while I'm at the dig.

I'll do my best, boss.

You know you can count on me to make it worth your while.

You got it.

You know, Kate, I'm a little bit worried about what that mechanic said.

There have been bandits out here for years.

We're gonna be fine.

Take care.

Jeez, it's so hot. The least I could do is have air conditioning.

I'd give $5 for a chocolate soda.

Hey, listen. We ought to have a contest to see who finds the first artifact.

Don't worry, little ones.

We'll be out of the desert soon, in the mountains. It's very cool, no?

Open up the windows.

Let the mountain breezes get in your lungs.

Margo, did we leave the main road?

Short cut, señorita.

Big windstorm last month knocked some trees across the bridge.

Margo, I think we're going the wrong way.

No, we are not, boss.

The temple is back that way. It's got to be.

Boss, there's some very valuable stuff around here. You'll be interested in

looking up.

Hey, Camargo, take it easy. Is everybody okay?

Yeah, we're okay.

There's got to be a better road around here. Now turn around and find some

other way. That's an order.

My best greetings to Colonel Arturo Alzar.

Okay, just do whatever he says, understand?

No heroics.

That's very wise of you, señorita.

You, fat man, you follow behind.

Señor Sargento, lo que usted diga.

Colonel, I am very honored you remember me.

Camargo, you know this boss man. Tell him about the business.

Tell him I can make him a fortune.

Don't speak for yourself.

I have means of exporting any amount of pre-Columbian art you can lay your hands

on. I have buyers in the States. They're paying tens of thousands for good

pieces.

Colonel.

Let us go and I'll be your agent.

You have the only access to the temples now that you're controlling so much of

Pinzumel.

If I controlled the whole world and could not control my own greed, I would

be nothing.

Bribery will be added to your list of crimes.

Take them away.

Move!

What's gonna happen?

We're gonna be okay.

We're gonna be fine.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid. Just do what they want.

Well, we have a little more information.

Their bus has been found abandoned in territory known to be held by a Colonel

Arturo Alzar.

We also have unconfirmed reports of Americans being sighted inside his

compound.

Terrific. You know, Michael, I really don't understand.

Caitlin cleared this thing with your office, just like we all do when we go

overseas. And we gave her the green light, I know, and we feel terrible

about it.

But Alzar's new activity just took us all by surprise.

He used to be just a local nuisance, a little more than a bandit.

He must have gotten some new backing somewhere, a big brother in the region.

He'd never risk this without it.

Well, who's his backer?

That's what I want you to find out.

So get down there, free those people, and then if you can, find out who's

behind Alzar and what his plans are.

Map coordinates to follow.

Good luck.

Never seen one outside a zoo before.

Cytosine.

Genus Amazona aquasophala auratrix. What?

A parrot.

What's really going to happen now?

Well, whatever it is, I ain't going to barf over it.

Hey, I didn't barf.

Very much.

What the devil were you trying to pull with Eleazar?

I was trying anything.

I was trying to save us.

I'm not a smuggler. I was just hoping he would go for that.

Camargo's the one that turned us in.

Camargo's your friend, Ozzie. He took a wrong turn.

Maybe. We were sold out, man.

And you're responsible.

Hey, you're okay.

I brought you a very rich gift, my friend.

Their scientific equipment, their cameras, plus nearly $20,000 in

traveler's checks.

Shama, you ever think back to the time when we were both driving taxis in the

States? Do I ever, Arturo? Do I ever?

And if a limo from Boca Raton had a flat tire in the Everglades, what would you

do? Strip it clean.

Just like you would.

I don't settle for stripping anymore.

I take the whole car.

I take the whole country.

That's a hell of a big bite to take, my old friend.

Kidnapping U.S. citizens?

I'm not afraid.

You must have some protection.

Some juice, huh?

Yes? Jeppe.

The connection to Havana.

It's me.

Hello?

Yes, this is Colonel Alzar.

Hello, my friend.

I've got something. There's a cab to the head.

I got it.

25 to...

a lot of heat sources, some kind of sophisticated machinery.

Yeah, military machinery.

That's it.

If Kate can just give some kind of signal. If Caitlin's in there, she'll

find a way.

but we need us a little diversion.

Looks like an ammo dump.

What's going on?

fly far.

The pitch link was damaged by that rocket.

I figured as much.

How is it? You're back.

It's been out before.

I'll be okay.

What about String?

He jumped off the net so we could lift off.

That sounds like him.

What about Ozzy?

He didn't make it either, but I don't think self-sacrifice is in his

character. Or character or not.

One thing's for sure, we're gonna go back there and bust them out.

A deal?

Deal.

Thanks.

Can you fix the radio?

No, um, the generator's out.

Anyway, using the radio would be the sheerest way of letting those bandits

know where we are.

Well, do you think they'll come after us?

Yeah, I'd bet my last dollar.

If for nothing else, they're going to come after Airwolf.

You know, the human body can survive without food for 60 days.

But without water... John, thank you.

You know that mechanic across the lake bed?

If he's as good with aircraft as he is with buses, we don't have anything to

worry about.

All we have to do is get Airwolf over there.

Yeah? How?

We'll do it together.

Let's go.

Hey, put this in the cockpit for me, okay?

Yeah.

Cookie, there's lotion in that kid in there. No, it's alright.

And they're gonna need it more than me.

Kay?

Didn't you already have a drink?

No, I didn't.

You started with Ernie.

Okay, guys, the recess is over.

You are a lying spy.

My name is Stringfellow Hawk.

I work for a private charter service hired by the Los Angeles Archaeological

Museum to transport a group of science students on a field trip to Kinzumel. A

charter service that just happens to own a military helicopter.

It's a private aircraft.

Experimental. with private and experimental weapons.

Why does Washington send such a mixed bag of agents to Quinsumel?

What kind of listening posts are you setting up?

Colonel, those young people are exactly what they say they are.

Their presence here is illegal.

They were given government permits.

I am the government in this country, and I do not permit foreigners to steal our

heritage. You damn Americans take anything you want anywhere in the world.

You steal the record of our past like brats from a candy store.

Streep us of our civilization.

A civilization more advanced than yours.

My ancestors had calendars and astrological observatories when your

ancestors were still living in caves and painting themselves blue.

You will be tried by a people's court.

And before we are through with you, the world will know your name, I promise.

You will be as famous as Francis Gary Bowers, Stringfellow Hawk.

Damn it, Kate, I feel like a big lummox sitting up here while all you people are

working. I know, Dom, but your back's...

Too bad, and I need you to steer that anyway.

How we doing?

I'm not exactly sure where we came down. I can tell you we're in for a couple of

days to hell, maybe more.

Yeah.

I just hope they don't come looking for us.

Oh, bite your tongue.

Listen, how are the kids doing?

Great. They're just great.

They just work together and don't lose heart.

Looks like we got sandstorms.

Uh-uh.

Worse.

Stop right here!

What? Stop. Stop! Stop!

All right, drop your harness.

Get out of your harness! Get back here!

All right, come here.

Let's swing this bird around so the guns are facing him. Aren't your systems out?

Radio's out. She can't fly. Otherwise, she's perfect. Now, get back there.

Swing me around.

Come on. Let's go.

It's one of Alzar's men. They followed us.

Hold it right there.

I have been sent by my commander, Colonel Alza.

You must return to the camp at once.

Well, you send the colonel our regrets and tell him we're on our way home.

Now back off. Back off or I'll shoot.

You remain his prisoners.

I have my orders.

Then die here, in the oven of the guards.

Hey, kids, get ready. But they're leaving.

Not on your life.

Get ready to swing ship.

Turn right. Turn right. Turn right.

Leah, what am I doing?

Caitlin, get in here and give me a copperhead.

I know where you are, swine.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Let's go!

Yeah!

You were wonderful!

You could have just somehow saved the Jeep. We'd have been home free.

Jonathan, you get a good idea fine.

Until then, just be thankful.

You get some sleep.

Can you hold on a minute?

Yeah.

What? What's up?

I've been thinking.

I mean, something like this really makes you think, right?

It's like I really never been scared before.

Yeah, a little bit, maybe.

Cookie.

We're gonna make it.

But just say in some lousy case we don't well There could be one experience

I Mean I've been thinking you're absolutely there's no better lady in

this whole world than you And it's sort of a special experience

Get what I'm kind of referring to

Yeah

Cookie. You're right. It really is very special.

But it doesn't mean anything unless you share it with someone you love.

Caitlin.

I'm very fond of you, Cookie.

Yeah.

You get some sleep.

Thank you.

He said hold it.

Relax, Chacho.

You see, my plan worked like a million dollars.

It was a great plan, John. You guys were brilliant.

Ernie, you're a positive lion.

Thanks, Cookie.

Without you, I would have ruined everything.

You're welcome, Kate.

I don't know what to do with an insect like you.

A man who hides behind children for his own profit.

You're hardly worth a bullet.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

You know, it's not hard to kill a man.

But you don't deserve a man's death.

Take him away. He offends me.

We're starting.

I'm not a man, you butchers!

Huzzah!

Minister Bizarro Havana. This is Arturo. I'll get the armored vehicle ready.

We're going in pursuit and load the 50 caliber Minister I regret I must ask

you for a favor.

Yes, sir

They got through to Washington.

They said Mirella's well on her way. She should be here any second with that

transport.

What'd they say about String and Ozzie?

I told them.

We're going back.

Oh, Archangel's got reports of MiGs being scrambled out of Cuba.

They're headed this way.

Little Brother, do you read me?

Red Squadron Leader to Little Brother.

Come in, Little Brother.

Welcome to our airspace, Combat Major.

With the exception of this vehicle, you may feel free to fire on anything that

moves, and particularly anything that flies.

Power's up.

Easy does it. Come on.

Damn! What is it? I can't get enough power to the turbines.

Poor Kate.

Let's get this lady in the air.

We can't get enough speed in the turbines to start her, Hawk.

Bypass the mains, Dom.

We'll try for a quick start in the secondaries.

Go, lady, go.

Go, sweetheart, go.

Rescue one to airworm. I'm five miles out.

Final approach.

Morello, we're drawing fire.

Thank you.

The werewolf will escort us all the way home.

My name's Mirella.

This is the first airline I've ever heard where all the pilots are women.

hardship just rolls off their backs.

Huh.

Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Now, what would you do if you had to live it all over again?

Huh?

Well, I'll tell you one thing. If I had to live it over again, I wouldn't want

to do it with anybody else.
