The man who built Airwolf 2 is the same man who built Airwolf 1.

Next on Airwolf.

They've got another Airwolf.

It's impossible.

Hawk will come for her.

We'll take care of it. The talk is over. It's proof time. Put up or shut up.

Just you and me, Hawk. Airwolf to Airwolf.

Land that thing now while I'm still in the mood to let you.

There have been many words written and spoken that have attempted to describe

courage, but all have fallen woefully short.

Bravery is not an easy quality to perceive.

If courage, however, is the willingness to face danger, difficulty, or pain

without withdrawing, well then, ladies and gentlemen, I can tell you from

personal knowledge that the man we honor here tonight has never withdrawn from

anything in his life.

And so it is with great pleasure that I present to you a man whose life embraces

courage, the Chamber of Commerce's Man of the Year, Roy Starkey!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Not only is this award an honor for me, but it's also a reflective honor for 36

million other Americans who are physically challenged.

This better be really important, good buddy.

This is an awfully important night for a good friend of mine. You better believe

it's important.

Where were you last night?

What, we were on a date or something? Don't get cute with me, Hawk, right now.

I'm the only thing standing between you and an immediate FBI arrest.

Uh, gentlemen, please, let's have a little courtesy.

Uh, for those who have to deal with handicaps, uh... Everything's been

arranged, sir.

I believe the innate faculty that serves them best is self-discipline. You want

to tell me what's going on? I find this a little less than amusing.

Hawk, you know I'm not a man of rash conclusions.

I deal in facts and logic.

What kind of bug you got in your pants, anyway?

You have no idea why I'm here.

Where were you last night?

Michael, why are you coming down on me?

Last night, a fully loaded military train, property of the United States Air

Force, was hijacked at exactly... What was it?

2,300 hours in Lassen Pass, utilizing a precise military-style assault. And the

reason I'm coming down on you is that the attack was led by none other than...

Michael, you're telling me that you believe I was

involved in a military train hijacking?

I'm telling you facts. I'm trying to arrive at logical conclusions.

Well, you're not doing too hot.

Check the report, Hawk.

The assault on the train was led by a Santini helicopter, 50,000 gallons of

jet fuel, 18 cases of 30 and 40 millimeter cannon ammo, 24 cases of

sidewinders and hellfires, and 22 Red Eye missiles were stolen. All items

applicable to an Airwolf mission.

These are facts.

I'm going to try and tell you as calmly as I possibly can that myself or anyone

I know

Meaning Dom and Kate would never, ever, for any reason, steal or hijack

anything. I've been doing nothing but telling myself that I've got to believe

that. The fact that you don't sets my guts on fire.

The talk is over.

It's proof time.

Either put up or shut up.

Okay. Let's see what this does for your gut. This is tape from the security car

on the train.

That's Santini's chopper.

I don't know what's going on here, Michael.

But I guarantee you one thing.

I'm gonna find out.

The committee is pressing real hard for your arrest.

I don't know how long I can hold off the FBI.

Well, this old bird's gonna be down for a while.

It's a cinch those holes aren't pigeon-peckings.

Yeah, but they don't look exactly like bullet holes. You know what I mean?

Somebody's gone to an awful lot of trouble to make this look like the

chopper that we used in that train hit the other night.

Or one just like it.

At any rate, the FBI is going to be around and asking us all kinds of

questions. We all better have some answers or get out of Dodge.

Come on.

Let's go find some of those answers.

Sure, but where?

At the movies.

Should I come with you?

Won't be necessary.

Desirable, but not necessary.

Follow me, please.

Well, well, well.

It's not my old friend, the angel of secrecy. How you doing?

What's this?

Delicious little slice of angel food cake, huh?

Homer Jenkins, isn't it?

Well, it has been a long time, hasn't it?

Harlan. Harlan Jenkins.

Yes.

One of Moffat's assistants on the airwolf design.

No, I think it's the other way around.

Well, now that we're establishing identities, who are you?

What's the matter, darling? You don't talk?

Only if it pleases her.

Or if I tell her.

Nice seeing you, Harlan.

Oh, by the way, I wouldn't make a move on her.

She's a cobra.

Hey, buckaroo, next time you see me, you're gonna know exactly who I am.

This committee has tolerated long enough the division of your loyalty between

Stringfellow Hawk and the firm. A division, I might add, which has never

been far from treason.

Unless he's been selling vodka to the Russians, treason seems a little strong

to me.

Nevertheless, by protecting the man Hawk and his theft of Airwolf, you have

consistently placed this organization and the security of the country in

severe jeopardy. There is no question of either Hawk's loyalty or my own. You

know that. The decision of this committee has been formulated.

Minus my vote, I'll tell you.

In short, Hawk has gone too far, and you, Mr. Colesmith Briggs III, have not

gone far enough.

Therefore, as of this day, you are suspended from duty with this

organization until further notice. You will have no access to Hawk and no

access to the files or the offices of the firm.

Clear?

You've been canned, son.

Without me, you have no airwolf.

The truth is, Mr. Coalsmith Briggs, we have no further need of Airwolf.

Archangel, please meet Airwolf Two.

So we meet again, buckaroo.

How long have we been here?

Four hours, 17 minutes, and 36 seconds.

You sure this guy knows what he's doing?

Every move.

Trust me, I used to date him. He never misses.

I didn't mean that.

Hold it right there.

I can bring that up a bit.

Can you show me the tail section?

You pick out any portion on that screen no smaller than an ant's behind.

I can bring it up 1,200 times.

Cleaned up your act, Mal.

Only in public.

He never used to say behind.

Look at that tail section. That might just be what keeps the FBI off our

backs. I don't see a thing.

Exactly.

No world scene, right?

Ow!

You got those pictures? Yeah.

Yeah.

It's for you.

Hello?

Yes?

Keep your pants on!

Blast!

Admiral?

Damn it, boy.

Why can't you use my name? You know, as a spy, you'd make a fine sports

announcer. How'd you know I was here?

Now, listen to me carefully.

They've canned your pal.

Michael? Yeah, that's right. Right down the tube.

I don't want to tell you something.

You never had a better friend in your life, and this country never had a

better man working for it, either.

Now, I want you to get out there and find him.

Help him. Why would... Don't ask questions.

Just do it.

Come on, let's go. Where are we going? Help out a friend.

Looking mighty fine today, hmm?

Well, wait a second. I don't think you should just run off.

I got to give you credit, amigo. You certainly know how to pick a

fine meeting place, don't you?

I doubt that the firm will intrude us on here, Mr. Jenkins.

No, I think that's a real safe bet, huh?

Well as pretty as they might be I know you didn't invite me here to look at

Fine bodies quite true

My people are getting shall we say eager for us to proceed with our arrangements

They request a more precise time schedule you listen to me Now I'm gonna

be stealing a piece of machinery

that costs over $2 billion.

And I don't really think the United States government is going to package it

and ship it to a tortilla republic, if you comprendo my meaning, sir.

So that there is no misunderstanding between us, our mission does not have to

be compromised with talk of tortilla republics.

I can assure you I'm aware of your problems.

But I also know that you're being paid exceptionally well for the risks you're

taking.

Now, you listen to me, amigo.

You and your people's republic couldn't afford to pay me if I was charging you

what this job is really worth.

I'm doing this to settle an old debt, you understand?

And before I'm done, this whole world is going to know that the man who built

Airwolf 2 is the same man who built Airwolf 1, and that is me.

Your vengeance is directed at the dead man.

Muffet is burning in hell.

Without a doubt.

I just want to make sure he has some company.

So you tell your people I'll deliver it when it is time to deliver it, all

right? And you remind them of the fact that only two pilots can fly, Airwolf.

And personally, I don't think Mr.

Stringfella Hawk is going to deliver one to you, do you?

No, I didn't think so.

Quesadilla, amigo.

Well, that's the third place we look for, Archangel.

Where do you look for a guy whose life is full of secrets?

Well?

You know, those bullet holes, they were .50 calibers. They leave a ragged edge

when they exit.

The rims of all those holes were smooth.

You're right.

And you were right about that well seam, too.

Well, that means that the chopper that hit that train wasn't ours, right?

That's right.

Somebody's setting this up. I don't know who or why.

And they're doing a good job of it, too.

Without those forceps, I could have sworn that that chopper on that tape was

mine. Yeah, well, Michael did, too.

If you'll pardon my enthusiasm, Mr. Secretary, what you're about to see may

be the finest single aircraft in the world.

As good as Airwolf. Perhaps better. If you'll pardon my sense of realism,

a half-billion-dollar cost overrun and three years of development ought to buy

that. Plus, two dozen angels of the Lord flying around the thing singing Amazing

Grace. I believe my report stated that this is a prototype, the only one of its

kind. To avoid duplication, the plans are stored only in the onboard computer.

The cost of this alone?

All right, man.

Let's... Let's get on with it.

Red Wolf, you have a go.

Shall we begin, Mr. Secretary?

My God.

Permit me to say, Mr. Secretary, the cost overrun is money well spent.

The last demonstration is coming up.

Congratulations, Mr. Jenkins. That test was superb.

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Secretary, but for a bird like this, the

test was routine. The pilot was superb.

It's harder to find than a cat in a doghouse.

Before you say anything, I want to tell you that I know I came down on you like

a damn fool.

If my brain had been working at all, I never would have even entertained the

thought that my friends would steal anything from anybody.

Sounds vaguely like an apology, man. Let him go. Let him go. I'd love to see a

fed grovel.

About the only excuse I can offer is that the committee has been on my back

in a way that exceeds all prior harassment.

And only yesterday did I find out why.

Well, all right. Why?

I could be brought up on some heavy charges for telling you this, but

they've got... They've got another airwolf.

You mean the committee has developed another airwolf? That's right.

It's impossible.

I don't believe it. Believe it. It exists.

I've seen it.

Obviously, somebody set you guys up because you've got airwolf. And it was

airwolf's kind of fuel and armament that was stolen.

Yeah, except for now, from what you're saying, there's another ship around that

can use the same stuff.

Somebody figures they have it in their possession.

Question is who?

Who comes later? Right now we better take care of the what.

I think it's time you called Zeus.

I will, but only for the sake of national security.

Dom, please?

Yeah, sure.

This is Angel One.

Yes, I know my code has been deleted.

Who is this?

I see.

Well, I suggest for your sake that you contact Zeus and inform him that he has

a possible Bravo code situation involving Airwolf 2.

Tell him to get back out to the test site. I'll meet him there as quickly as

I can.

Those you talked to at the site.

Harlan Jenkins.

Remember him?

Good old boy Harlan Jenkins.

That's the one.

Your old white school buddy.

Boy, how could he forget?

I tell you, when String beat out Jenkins for that high test pilot slot, Jenkins

went to work for Moffat as his number one lackey.

and spent five years trying to convince everyone from the president on down that

he was the one responsible for the major developments in Airwolf. And with an ego

as big as Texas.

Well, that ego now belongs to the committee.

It's back working at the firm.

Only this time, he's number one pilot.

Red Wolf, this is security.

Your actions are not authorized.

Shut down.

I repeat, shut down your engines.

So you won't play kicks with a mule, do you?

Hey, what's going on?

That's gotta be Jenkins.

Springfellow Hawk.

Well, Hawk, old buddy, you cannot believe how good it is to see you.

Well, it seems to me that I'm in an eagle and you're fluttering around a

little sparrow, don't it?

It had to be Jenkins. He set us up.

Doc's right. If he wants to, he can blow us clean out of the sky.

I'd say we'd better play to his ego.

Uh, Jenkins, so what's all this about?

Well, Hawk, old buddy, I'd say it's a matter of pride. Otherwise, I'd have

flown you out of the sky when you first came into my sights, wouldn't I?

So what made you hold off?

You want the truth?

I'll tell you. I have been wondering and I have been dreaming for a long time

what you would do up against me on equal terms.

Just you and me, Hawk.

Airwolf to airwolf.

I thought that was subtle a long time ago.

Not in my mind, cowboy.

Not in my mind.

Yeah, well, how do you see it?

Well, I think you'd be coyote meat in about 15 minutes, son. You know, Harlan,

you sound a little like a coyote yourself.

Always yip, yip, yip, yip, yip.

That's funny. I tell you, though, I could blow you right out of the sky

right now and spare you any future embarrassments. I could do that for you.

I'm not flying alone, Harlan.

I thought you were bigger than that.

Well, you did, huh?

Well, that's very nice of you, and I'll tell you what, we'll do it later. You

just name... the time, and I will name the place.

I'll tell you what, when you think you're ready, you can just call me up.

Ha ha, Hawk, I have always been ready.

But you hang by that phone, you understand?

Because I'll call you, and you can count on that.

I'll see you later.

I don't mind telling you, dirt farmer, I nearly got religion.

Amen.

If you were trying to draw him out, I'd say you did a bang-up job.

At least it bought us some time. If you ever want to see that chopper again, you

better hope it works.

$30 million.

Ship is waiting for us in the harbor right now.

I told you before I got this little matter I want to settle, that's all.

A little matter?

We are on a very precise time schedule.

The entire delivery is in danger every hour we delay. No, no, no, no. I need a

better reason than just a little matter.

Well, all right, how's this sound?

First I'm going to check the Red Wolf over, make sure it's okay.

Then when I'm through with that, I'm going to arm it.

Then I'm going to make a phone call.

And then...

I'm going to blow Stringfella Hawk right out of the sky.

No, no.

You're not crazy enough to think I'll let you jeopardize everything so you can

play cowboy.

What, you're so stupid to think the firm is just going to let us fly south in a

billion-dollar-plus bird now that we've become a national threat?

You that stupid?

Damn right they're not.

I'm not going to let that happen.

Well, Moffat, uh...

He tried to take off on the first airwolf, didn't he?

And they sent Hawk after him.

You can bet your butt they're gonna send him after me, too, so I say forget it.

Right now, we handle it right here and now.

Settle it for good.

On this side of the border.

Except this time, I'm gonna do it my way.

Texas style.

Oh!

Adios, amigo.

Would you like to explain this?

Wait till you hear this, son.

I regret, first of all, the manner in which you were brought here, Michael.

But would you have come had we simply requested your presence?

I think you know the answer to that.

Precisely. Now, to the reason we have taken these extraordinary measures to

assure your appearance before us.

Here it comes.

With due respect, Admiral, if you persist in commenting on these

proceedings, I shall be forced to rule you out of order and remove you from

these premises.

All right.

All right.

Now then, Michael, we are distressed.

to report that Airwolf Two has been stolen.

I know that.

Yes, of course.

Then you also know the man who took it is Harlan Jenkins.

What plan he may have for such a ship is problematical.

However, we have reason to suspect, because of the violence of this morning,

that whatever his motives, they are decidedly less than honorable.

Therefore, Michael, we wish to ask you to help us to retrieve the helicopter we

call Red Wolf, or to have your friend, Mr. Hawk, to shoot it down.

We're asking you to help us, Michael.

A friend of mine said to me recently that he loves to see feds grovel.

I'd like nothing better at this moment than to see you on your knees.

However, the obvious dangers involved here forbid me that pleasure.

I most certainly will not help you, Mr.

Chairman.

But I will help my country.

We appreciate that. In exchange for which, I want... total access not only

to our files, but to the NDC alpha bracket computer.

I want the airwolf budget doubled.

I want full international access classification, and I want you to leave

me alone to do my job.

Whatever you need, Michael.

Nice shot, kid.

Come on, muchachos, let's go. Chop, chop.

We can't risk to let him fight Airwolf.

But there might be a way to stop him before he starts.

Let's hope this is all for nothing.

Well, the entire firm's been put under Michael's command.

He promised me he'd try everything before he had to send us in.

Yeah, sure, but this isn't just another milk run, you know.

Well, it comes right down to it. Can you think of a better way to stop Jenkins?

Against Airwolf?

Yeah, they can call out the Air Force, the Navy, even the Marines.

And send him where?

I just hope I baited him enough to come after me.

I'm gonna go relieve Kate at the office. You finish up here. Okay, sure.

Hey, but you'll call me right away if Jenkins calls now.

Oh, he'll call. Let the man sit and count it.

Hark!

Hark!

Where's Caitlin?

Isn't she supposed to be here?

Yeah, she was gonna watch the phone and wait for Jenkins' call.

Sorry we missed you, but perhaps your friend will serve the purpose.

She's over the mountain or the moon, safe as long as you come.

What's it mean?

It means they're after me.

And they're using Caitlin to get to me.

Over the mountain of the moon, down the valley of the shadow.

Edgar Allan Poe.

Ride boldly, ride the shade, replied, if you seek for El Dorado.

Dorado Canyon.

Could be.

Dom.

Hawk, come in.

Dom, you read me.

Come in, Dom.

Go ahead, String.

Listen, they got Kate?

No. You know where Dorado Canyon is?

Sure. Meet me there.

Bring the lady. Gotcha.

Meet us there?

Remove the rope and gag.

I apologize.

We are not always so ungentlemanly with ladies.

Who are you and why am I here?

Let us say, Tullio or your friend, Huck.

Huck? A trap for Huck? Why?

Well...

It's a nice surprise, huh?

How'd you know it was my birthday?

Hi, my name is Harlan.

Who are you?

Don't worry.

She's Huck's lady friend.

Huck will come for her and we'll take care of him.

You fly your wolf to aboard our ship.

Well, Huck is going to come, but he's going to be loaded for bear.

Oh, Alonzo, excuse me. You better hope I'm as good as I know I am.

Very nice to meet you, ma'am.

Where do you suppose Jenkins went?

I don't know, but I don't suppose he's gone too far.

I want Hawk to see you.

He's nearby. I can sense it.

My main priority is to stop Jenkins.

If he gets Airwolf 2 off the ground, we have nowhere to stop him but to send you

after him.

I don't particularly want to shoot it out with him. Well, the firm doesn't

want that either. We can't afford to risk losing both Airwolves. But if he

plans to fly his out of the country, we've got no choice.

All right, hold it right there.

Throw those weapons out in front of you. Now!

Real easy.

Here's a present for you.

Welcome

to

El Dorado, Mr. Hawk.

Please don't force me to hurt this girl.

His name is Alonzo Delomo. He works for rebel forces.

You know, there's no way on God's earth that harming that girl is going to help

your cause.

She dies, you die.

You know me, you know I mean it.

I don't wish to kill anyone, but I will do what must be done.

Looks like we got a standoff then, doesn't it?

How do you suggest we settle this, Tano? Mr. Hawk.

String, I got an incoming voting.

Stringfella Hawk.

Yeah, this is the time, baby.

And this is the place.

String, I got him covered.

If you back off, Tano, this is between me and the Lone Ranger, you understand?

And if you don't... I'm going to start with him and I'm going to finish with

you. Now get out of here.

Looks like Jenkins called both our hands.

Stop it. Stop it or the girl dies.

Stop it.

This is not what I had planned.

But I accept the terms of war.

You can't afford it.

You're right, I cannot.

I think the wise thing to do is to hope that Jenkins is as good as he thinks he

is.

A true revolutionary would have killed her.

I know it's against my better instincts, but why do I find myself wishing him

well?

It's a matter of class.

Come on, Pop. Tell the old go-ger to get the hell out of the way.

Now!

Not both of us. Not this time.

Please don't.

Come on.

But remember, keep your backside to the sun, you hear?

Don't make a lawyer out of me!

Come on, I'm waiting, hotshot. Let's go!

Oh, goat herder, huh?

String, I'll put you in the backside of hell!

Try this, Chicken Hawk.

you're gonna be nothing but desert barbecue, boy.

You know,

Harlan, anybody that shoots as lame as you sure didn't design an airwolf weapon

system.

land that thing now while i'm still in the mood to let you not a chance hawk

not one chance for you

Michael,

you're seriously not going to quit the firm.

I'm considering it. But they apologize, right? Not elaborately enough.

Sounds to me like he's reconsidering. Don't bet on it. They called me a

traitor.

Well, you called me a liar.

as I'm calling everyone to dinner. Chow time.

The ladies will gather immediately afterward for dessert at my place.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present a human being in the business of

pigs.

This is the admiral. The admiral.

Oh, boy, look at this.

Bon appetit. Wonderful.

What is it?

Roast pork.

Roast pig.
