Your next subject will be strength of a hawk.

Next on Airwolf.

I want you to deliver Airwolf. Give it in the instructions you receive with

this tape.

Take cover!

Would you betray me?

Thanks for coming.

Revert to all primal instincts.

He saved your life.

You owe him.

Undying allegiance to the end. He saved your life.

Revert to all primal instincts.

You owe him.

How

do you feel,

Donald?

I feel fine.

And what is it you want to do, Donald?

Whatever you want me to do, Mr. Horn.

And you know what that is now, don't you, Donald?

Yes, Mr. Horn.

Then do it.

The next subject will be Stringfellow Hawk.

What kind of chattering for how long?

Oh, no problem.

You called the right place, mister.

I got two of the best.

Myself and Stringfellow Hawk.

Nobody over 40?

Then I guess you want Stringfellow Hawk.

Yeah, yeah, I know I'll be there right

The hell's so bad about being over 40

Mr. Vandoria, sir, excuse me, but I'm curious.

You've hired myself in this helicopter for three days.

It's only a three-and-a-half-hour trip to Scottsdale. We can be there back by

tonight. Look, look, this is no ordinary job.

These precious gems that you, this boy, will deliver, they were for one hour.

million dollars.

My client is a very, very important, very busy man.

We don't like to be pressed.

The adventorian jewelers do not press them.

Isn't that so, Angela?

Never.

So don't be surprised, Mr. Hawk, if we find ourselves lying around the hotel

pool for a few days.

Well, that sure is sweet. 140, huh?

Huh.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That goes in there, that one in there.

Hey, what about the buyer?

He knows we're here. He'll turn up in his own time. Now, I'm gonna race to the

tub, take an hour's nap, and I'll meet you in the lounge for cocktails straight

up at 8. How does that sound?

Yeah, it's fine by me.

Uh-huh.

Wear a tie.

A tie.

What do you think about purple?

Yuck.

This is Angelica Bulletin,

suite 1116.

Mr. Hawk and I don't want to be disturbed. No phone calls, no messages,

no exceptions.

Thank you.

You know, this may be the greatest, all-expensive paid vacation I've ever

had.

Yeah, me too.

Oh, no.

We got a problem here.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, when the man snaps his fingers, it'll be over.

That is a problem.

Yep.

It sure is.

Where's this guy anyway?

Nope. Sorry. Can't know names.

Likes to keep a very low profile. Very eccentric.

Very unpredictable.

Does most of his wheelin' dealin' under street lamps.

He's as likely to show up at four in the morning as he is at four in the

afternoon.

Howard Hughes.

He is like Howard Hughes.

You know, I'm afraid that I could get used to you.

Angelica! Angelica!

I'm mighty sorry for the intrusion at this ungodly hour, honey, but plans have

changed, as usual.

What is it now?

Well, the boss got himself held up down in Texas, other kinds of business, and

he wants the gems to be delivered to him down there.

Of course.

When?

Uh...

Neil, this is Stringfellow Hawk.

This is the pilot that flew me down here.

String, this is Neil Streep.

He's the gem buyer's representative here in Arizona.

My apologies, Mr. Hawk, but you see, my employer has decided to fly out to the

Netherlands this morning in his own plane, and he's got to have those gems.

He's got to have them with him.

Where in Texas?

Why, down around his home. It's down around the Palo Duro Canyon area.

We can have a limousine waiting for you right down by the pad if you can get

down there around dawn.

You've been there before, Angelica. I have some flight plans right here for y

'all. We'll be there.

I appreciate it.

Until then, Angelica, Mr. Hook.

Neil?

Welcome, Mr. Hawk.

I am John Bradford. I am John Bradford.

Bradford. John.

I am John Bradford. John.

I am John Bradford.

VIRTUAL PRIMAL

INSTINCT

John. John.

Please have a seat. Mr. Hawk

Maddie

nice having you with us. Mr. Hawk

You know this gentleman, son?

Yes, sir.

Do you know his name?

Better than I know my own.

What is it?

John Bradford Horn.

You know where he is now?

No.

No, not exactly.

I lost touch with him.

That's one thing for sure.

I owe that man my eternal allegiance.

How do you feel about me, Strang?

I like you.

I truly like you, Angelica.

And how do you feel about my deceiving you?

Deceiving you to bring you here.

You know I don't like to be lied to.

But if you did it for the purpose of helping me find John...

I owe you many thanks.

I'm glad, String.

Because that's exactly why I brought you here.

And I want you to know something else.

I am John Bradford Horn's daughter.

And you're gonna see my father now.

That's right, Hook.

John Bradford Horn.

And I need your help now.

I got a special delivery package for a Dominique Santini.

Hey, Dom!

Special delivery for you!

I'm not expecting any special delivery.

Well, you got one anyway!

Well, sign for it, will ya?

Right here.

Hey!

You wanna give me the package?

Oh, yeah.

I'd like you to cut it up into small pieces, put it in a big bowl with lots

of salt. Open it! What else?

It's an envelope marked personal and a videotape.

Dom, I am being held prisoner.

I want you to deliver Airwolf at the exact time and the exact place.

given in the instructions you receive with this tape.

If you do, I will be set free to return with you and the Jet Ranger.

If you don't deliver Airwolf, I'll be killed.

The detailed instructions for the exchange must be followed to the letter.

There will be no further communications.

Dom, my life is in your hands.

This is a

recording.

If you persist in doing things your way, you are building a casket for your

friend. Follow the instructions you were given, or he is dead.

This is your last warning.

This whole thing is fixed.

Well, we know that Vandorian is tied in. So he's tied in, so what? He's flown the

coop. That's it.

We gotta get the lady.

Not we, me.

The instructions say me.

Dom, don't do that to me.

I care about him too, you know.

Probably more than you know.

Neither one of you is going.

What?

What the hell are you saying?

Hawk told you not to tell me anything about all of this, and I wish to God you

hadn't. But now that you have, it's my responsibility to alert the firm.

If you do that, they'll send in the Marines, and that'll kill String for

sure. There is no way the firm is going to sit back and let you just give

Airwolf away.

Hey!

We're talking about String's life, buddy. I know that, Dominic. I am not a

machine, dammit. It rips my guts, too.

Now, if we can just find some way to save Hawk and still keep Airwolf, I'll

go along with you.

Maybe we can.

We all know that if those people that nabbed Hawk hadn't already known about

Airwolf's existence, he wouldn't have told them, right?

Go on. Okay, people operating on that stratum demand a thorough job. Now,

don't you suppose they know that Hawk and Dom are the only ones who can fly

the lady?

Well, of course. That's how they knew that Dominic could deliver her.

Well, I know something they don't.

And that is?

I can fly her.

You can fly Airwolf?

What? Yes.

Hawk and Dom taught me nothing can undo that.

Now, you want to talk about letting us go?

Let's talk

I'm

giving you 48 hours and then I'm hitting that location with everything I've got

understood understood This is an experimental serum the firm has been

working on it blocks the action of all other drugs on the quartet If Hawk is

under the influence of a mind-altering serum... Wait a minute.

You mean this will set his head straight? It's supposed to, but don't

use it unless you absolutely have to.

Reported side effects have been radical drops in body temperature and

convulsions, and in about a third of the tests, death.

If you get hung up, remember the missile compartment.

You got it?

Right.

Hi. How you doing?

You okay?

Fine. Thanks for coming.

I don't understand it. I simply do not understand it. The world is full of

plenty of important young men, and you have the wherewithal to have any of

them.

Spoken like a true father, Daddy dearest.

Then why this Stringfellow hook?

Because he touched me.

Can't explain it. When it happens, it just does. That's all.

He's a paper hero.

All you have to do is look at his dossier to know that.

Why is he here?

Because, my dear, he's expendable.

And why are we having this conversation?

Because I don't want you to get hurt if something should happen.

No, no, no, no. I mean, why are we really having it?

Don't smoke screen me, Daddy. It doesn't track.

This isn't some wonky, ponky, wind-up Barbie doll you're talking to anymore.

I now know where my father speaks, and it is never without devious purpose,

even when talking with me.

Why must you be so damned intelligent?

You don't trust me, do you?

After all the years, and you still don't trust even me?

I love you. But you don't trust me.

And you're trying to find out if because of my feelings for Hawk, I might

conceivably try to save him.

Isn't that it?

Indelicately put, yes.

I've got too much at stake not to cover all my bases.

What do you want me to say?

Would you betray me?

Mr. Horn.

Why isn't he out of it, Doctor?

Well, he's a big man.

Hawk shot him three times.

Any one of those pellets would have knocked him out for four hours.

He won't be fully recovered until morning.

As soon as he comes to, I want him programmed the same as Hawk.

Yes, Mr. Horn.

Angelica.

Where are you going?

Going to see Hawk.

Since he's taking off at dawn, I thought it might be nice to see him one last

time.

I'll see you back at the house.

Isn't that all right with you, Father?

Of course, daughter.

If they had to trust you.

I wanted to see you.

I'd like to talk.

I know that you said you could handle the deception.

I want you to know that I hate it as much as you do.

And I just want to know if there's still a chance for us.

Why?

Because, damn it, I want you.

I care about you.

And because I... I'm afraid that you may not

come back.

I'll be back.

Do you care about me?

Yes? Mr. Hawk's dinner tray.

Hawk.

Hawk.

Spy!

Damn you!

Tranquilizers. He's all right. I've seen him.

I've seen him.

Huck, who is this guy Horn?

It was all over the news a couple of years ago. He, uh, built billions of

people with him.

High-rises that didn't get built and oil wells that didn't get drilled and

government contracts that didn't get done. I don't know. The government had

him up for a grand jury indictment, right? He disappeared.

The feds have been after him ever since.

What does he want with you?

An air wolf mission.

We've got to find a way.

We've got to find a way to get us all out of here.

All right, Hawk?

I'm fine, John.

I don't know if you're familiar with my accomplishments of the past several

years.

As a matter of fact, I'm not.

My intellect has been pitted against oil tycoons, Wall Street wizards, even the

United States government.

And of course you won.

Every time.

But as a result, I've been labeled a fugitive.

A lawbreaker.

I'm a man without a country.

Men of intellect such as yourself should be above the law.

Precisely.

I am in the process of establishing a world base on a magnificently beautiful,

independent island country in the Caribbean for those who think as I do.

What can I do to help?

An agreement has been reached with the government in power for me to take

control of the island.

A leftist rebel group is causing problems.

I want it out.

The rebel stronghold is surrounded by radar.

It's heavily fortified.

Your mission is to root it out and destroy everything until a flag of

surrender goes up.

You'll then radio our planes, which will be circling off the coast.

We will then move in with our paratroopers.

Your rendezvous with our other planes one mile south of here.

They'll be taking off at the same time, 0600.

Flight plans across the Gulf of Mexico, just south of Cuba, over Jamaica, then

directly in over the island of Mara.

Your target.

Do you have any questions, Hawk?

No, sir.

I'm ready.

I'm depending upon you, my friend.

I don't want to talk to you now.

take cover take cover

to the paper hero now.

I haven't lost yet.

I want to take care of this personal.

Warrant's mine.

I've got dibs on a jelly.

The horn's going to turn up again sometime.

When he does.

And the daughter!

Remember Chief's mind!

Well, we've got to notify the authorities.

Let's go.
