The name is Sinjin Hawk.

Hey, that's my name.

He's also your father.

Carson, do your brother in Saigon!

I saw Sinjin go down.

You saw him killed.

He wasn't moving.

He's not coming back.

Oh my God.

Very good.

I trust your journey was a safe one?

Good journey. No problems.

How shall we get to our business, sir?

You got the money?

Merry Christmas, General.

My little L.

Mules.

What could be more appropriate?

that's the biggest load i ever brought down from the mountain now how are you

going to get it into the states one man is going to bring the whole thing in one

man oh i must know his name next time you come bring him i would like to meet

him there aren't going to be any more trips i'm retiring after this one very

rich oh carson that is too bad well you send your

friend we can uh Do some business together, huh?

I'm sorry, General.

You're retiring too.

Since you wanted to know, my friend's name is Stringfellow Hawk.

No sign of that Russian sub in these waters, String.

He's probably out of the area by now.

Angel One to Airwolf. Come in.

Yeah, we read you. What's up, Michael?

Any sign of that Russian sub yet?

No, it looks like he's out of our waters.

In that case, you'd better come on back.

We've turned up some interesting information on Sinjin. What kind of

information, Michael? I think it's better if I give you the details when

you get back.

Angel One, out.

Now, why would Michael be so mysterious about information on St. John, huh?

Let's see how fast we can find out.

No way, Michael.

Absolutely no way.

I would have known.

The report was thoroughly checked by the firm. Samantha double-checked it.

Then I personally triple-checked it.

Has anybody made contact?

I thought you'd want to do that yourself.

Mr. Hawk?

Yes, ma'am. Hi, how are you? Would you follow me this way, please?

Attention. Today at 3 o'clock, there will be a special assembly in the

lunchroom. All those who are members of the glee club and pep rally squads are

expected to attend.

There he is.

Thank you.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You're too good, man. I'm out.

Nobody's that good all the time.

I was just lucky.

You cheated.

How? I don't know how, but you did.

I'll show you how I do it. You could really be good.

You want our money.

No way.

Good toss.

I saw you do a lot better.

Looks like you win, huh?

Just lucky.

You a new teacher or something?

Nah. Pretty handy fella.

I saw you take on those guys.

I was just lucky.

You, uh, you always say that? I was just lucky?

Hey, what do you want?

People that know tell me you ought to recognize this man.

His name is Sinjin Hawk.

Hey, that's my name.

This is my brother.

I've got a great deal of reason to believe that he's also your father.

That makes us family.

I already have a father. His name is Darren McBride.

Mr. Hawk.

Are you Mrs. McBride?

Your call was such a shock.

My sister and her son.

You're just the boy, Leigh.

Family resemblance.

She's very beautiful like you.

It's just a boy's father.

I never met him.

Are there any pictures of them together?

What's wrong?

This is my brother's ring.

I'm home. It's Darren.

What's this? Darren, he's... Head on top for a cell.

Stringfellow Hawk, I came to ask Mrs.

McBride and yourself about your foster son.

He thinks Lee's father may have been his brother. You're St. John's brother?

You knew him? Yeah, I knew him.

Stringfellow Hawk.

Oh, your family had a thing about names.

Listen, hon, look, get us a couple beers, will you? We got a lot of

catching up to do. Sit down, sit down.

You know, all the time I knew him, he never told me he had a brother.

Had?

Sound like you're speaking in the past tense.

You don't have any idea where Stenjin is, do you?

Where he might be.

He's been dead for a long time.

Yeah. Your brother and I were part of a joint UC warfare task

force called SOG.

SOG? Special Operations Group. Our outfit was made up of green berets and

indigenous personnel.

Don't smoke-screen me, Brighton.

Were these cross-the-border operations?

Laos, Cambodia, North Vietnam, even China.

We went everywhere.

You say he's dead. How do you know?

There's supposed to be this chemical warfare lab the Kong had going up in the

highlands. The high command was afraid Charlie was getting ready to use it.

They sent us in on a search and destroy.

Only Charlie pulled a hat-trick and we got ambushed.

I caught one.

I saw Sinjin go down.

You saw him killed?

He wasn't moving.

Then the lab blew sky high.

It was like the Fourth of July.

I was the only one who made it back to the LZ for the pickup.

I'm sorry, man.

I'm sorry.

Please, Father, let us not forget these brave men.

We thank you for delivering these men back to their families, that they may

rest in peace far away from the land where they valiantly died.

Amen.

Order! Halt!

Forward!

Thank you for your kindness.

Coming up now, sir.

Damn it, Michael.

I don't care what that computer says.

McBride was there.

He saw my brother die.

Hawk, you said there was an explosion.

Maybe Sinjin survived, just like McBride did. Maybe McBride saw it all wrong.

Maybe McBride is lying.

Punch out McBride.

Go ahead.

Search him.

Three silver stars, two purple hearts.

Six regimental commendations.

There's not a scratch in that man's record.

Samantha, will you excuse us, please?

Also, there's no mention of the unit he and Sinjin supposedly served in on any

secret missions.

That doesn't mean diddly, Michael.

And you know it.

Huck, I don't know any more about this thing than you do.

You think I'm lying?

After all we've been through, you must know I wouldn't lie to you about your

brother. One of the only reasons that I'm here is because I want to believe

that. I made you a promise a long time ago.

I intend to keep it.

Then you better start keeping it fast, Michael.

Or?

Well, there's gonna be some real big changes around here. What kind of

changes?

Listen, I've got a 12-year-old kid I gotta start getting acquainted with.

That's a big change for me.

Samantha! Sir.

Get me everything we have on McBride, and I mean everything.

Come on, Ted, let's go.

Come on.

Does he know where we're going?

Hey, listen, Half-Pint.

Old Tet knows these mountains way better than I do.

Well, who takes care of Tet when you're gone?

Well, he takes care of himself.

Where does he go?

What does he eat?

I'll tell you.

Me and Tet, we got a deal.

I don't ask where he goes, and he doesn't ask me what I do while I'm gone.

He's a dog. He can't talk.

I guess that's why we get along so good, you know?

One of the best views in the whole country.

Real pretty, isn't it?

I guess so.

A little different than what you're used to, huh?

There aren't any people around?

No, that's one of the best parts.

The whole country used to be like this at one time.

Sure would have been hard to live back then, huh?

I tell you, I think it would have been a whole lot easier.

Fact. I wish I'd been born about 200 years earlier. I might have been a

cowboy or something. Like Clint Eastwood in the movies.

Go ahead.

Make my day.

Yeah.

I probably would have turned out like that.

Come on, Half-Pint, let's go get some supper.

You had quite an effect on him, Uncle Hawk.

I'd say he had quite an effect on me. I'm bushed. He hasn't shut up since he

woke up this morning.

Is a chopper really the only way to get into your place?

I make it by horseback.

And I thought I was spooky about being around people.

Don't get me wrong.

I know where you're coming from.

You know, McBride, there's something I'd like to talk with you about.

Shoot. I haven't said anything to Lee.

But I figured you and your wife should have some time to talk about it.

I'd like to adopt a boy.

Just raise him like my son.

I lost a lot of friends over there.

One of them was your brother.

I'll talk to men.

We'll work it out.

You always said that's his footlocker.

And he'd be the only one who would ever open it.

You okay, kid?

Damn box is full of ghosts.

A letter for me.

What is it?

Huh?

Says he's been assigned to some secret special forces unit.

Make raids on North Vietnam.

Suicide.

What else?

Oh, my God.

It's like he said.

Maybe Sinjin really is dead.

Hawk.

What's this all mean?

Read this.

It's not even dated. This doesn't prove anything.

It does to me. String, please listen to Michael.

You know, finally comes the time just to face the truth.

The Vietnam War is over.

Sinjin's gone.

If the McBrides agree, I'm going to adopt Sinjin's son and start a new life.

What kind of a life?

A quiet one, Dom.

Michael, I've got one request.

I want Sinjin's remains.

I want to bury him on the hill above the cabin.

Hawk, I don't even know for certain that he's dead.

Find him.

What's up?

Lee ran away.

He's done it before.

He always goes back out to the streets.

Call the police? I did better than that. There's a refugee worker who knows the

agent community better than anyone.

Glenn Carson.

If anybody can find him, Carson can.

He found Lee in that awful camp.

He arranged entry permits for Lee and Min.

Here he is.

See your favorite show.

The people in the back think it's too much noise. I'd have thought that I was

ready to go. So, put me out to a car for a friendly little kiss.

Now I know where I've been and here's my man. Check on his shoulder. He said,

hey! I don't like what I see. The girl you're with belongs to me.

I can reach home as I can. In the walls! Down!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah, they can't turn them. Down! Down.

Thank you. Thank you.

There you go.

You should win this game now.

Come on, Jimmy.

You did it, kid.

500, 500.

Come on, come on.

Yeah.

That's it.

Oh, Jimmy, man. Check this dude out.

Come on.

Come on.

Yeah.

Pretty good, huh?

Guess I was just lucky.

Well, let's see how lucky you are.

Hey, kid, shouldn't you be at home now when your mama is home?

What do you suppose made that kid run away?

When we found him in that rat hole or refugee camp in Thailand, he was living

with another family.

And I told him we were going to bring him back to the States.

He ran away.

It took us a week to find him that time.

He's a good boy.

He's just got something kind of wild inside of him. Every once in a while,

it's got to get out.

Don't judge them too harshly. No, I don't judge anybody anymore

Pretty

good

kid except we think you're too good

Come on, boys. It's not that important.

Brother. Hey!

Come on!

Come on! Hey! Hey! Come on!

These are their kids!

These are kids!

I saw three of my buddies killed by kids older than that!

Killing one of them is not going to bring your buddies back.

Now get a hold of yourself.

I'm sorry.

Brought back memories.

I've got a kid right here.

You okay?

Sure, I'm okay.

You hadn't...

You had men going nuts. He scared the hell out of both of us.

What if I bring him home a little later?

Sounds like a good idea. Come on.

You

mad

at me?

Why'd you tick off like that?

I guess I should have talked to you first.

Or maybe we should have talked, huh?

What do you think about that idea?

It kind of scares me.

Yeah, it scares me too.

What part of it scares you the most?

That maybe someday you won't want me anymore.

What in the world gave you that idea?

Darren doesn't want me anymore.

He even paid money so my other family would let me come to the States.

Maybe someday you won't want me either.

Let me tell you something, son.

I'll always, always be there for you.

You promise?

What is this, anyway?

Kid's OK.

It's not the kid.

A buddy of mine called, who's still in.

He's stationed at Air Force Base near Riverside.

There's a plane coming in tonight.

MIA remains.

The manifest says that there's eight caskets.

My buddy says it's a ninth one, sealed tight.

Who was it, Jim?

Michael swears McBride is wrong about the caskets.

We can get in a lot of trouble doing this.

Dom, you know I have to know for sure.

Are you sure this is the right building?

We'll know in a second.

He's not here.

Over here.

He's not in there, Tom.

The question is, what is in there?

Sorry, Hawk.

I'll be sorry.

It just means that St. John's probably still alive.

China white.

Looks to be about 200 pounds, sir.

On the street, that's... 250 million.

What a haul.

How'd you know, Hawk?

I wanted to believe McBride.

But then when you asked me if I thought you were lying, it started me to

thinking. 14 years of looking with no luck.

Comes all at once, no luck at all.

And you started me thinking, too.

I had Samantha ask for a verification on the MIA remains shipment.

Someone fed erroneous information into the stateside computer.

But nine caskets were sent, though.

But only eight appeared on the readout.

Looks like McBride and that refugee worker, Glenn Carson, are in it

together. They were in Saigon at the same time, and they were both linked

with the drug trade.

They got it in the States.

How were they gonna get it off the base?

They figured you'd do it for them.

And they'd make the score of a lifetime.

They wanted a funeral.

Let's give them one.

You used to come here with your brother a lot?

No.

I know he loved it just as much as me.

This is weird.

I mean... I don't know.

It doesn't feel like it's my dad that's in there.

You don't remember very much, do you?

Guess I was too little.

Did your mother ever talk about your father?

She never talked much about anything.

Mostly she cried.

You miss him a lot, don't you?

Yeah.

It's a lot better since you're around.

I like you a lot, String.

There's something I have to tell you.

About Darren and Min?

Did they make you do something?

They said it was all up to me.

Uncle String... I want to come and live with you.

But I still love Min and Darren.

I want to come and live with them too.

Son, don't worry about it.

It'll all work out.

feel to be rich.

Well?

Working like a bunch of vultures.

Listen, you could do me a big favor.

Keep your eye on Kay here. She gets real paranoid about all these squirrels in

the hills.

Don't worry. I'll protect her.

Thanks.

Where's the lady, though?

Back at the trees.

Hey, you sure you don't want me to come with you?

No, thanks.

I think I'd better do this myself.

A string.

The boy.

Is he part of it?

What's going on here?

It was in there. I sealed it myself.

But where is it now? I don't know where it is. I swear.

McBride, the game's over.

I stand a better chance in the air!

Come on, let's go!

I'm tired of messing with you, Carson.

Like I said, end of the line.

Shut up!

I'm going to fall!

Tell me if I've said it.

I want to know it all.

I don't know anymore!

I don't know!

It's not enough to keep you alive.

If I push a button, we'll be doing Mach 1 in six seconds.

Carson knew your brother in a hospital in Saigon.

He said he talked about you all the time. Ask Carson.

He'll tell you what you want to know.

As it turns out, the two who died with Carson were airmen.

They were both on the plane that transported the caskets.

Was Carson ever in the hospital with Stingy?

In 73, for about a month.

As close as I ever came to some answers.

I just watched him fly right into a mountain.

No way you could have known.

Thank you, Michael.

I think I'll, uh...

I'm

glad you didn't get hurt.

McBride made you do that, didn't he?

He promised he would marry me and take me to America if I brought my nephew

with us.

He is.

And my sister was married to an American.

Her brother?

She had the picture and the rings.

But I don't know if Lee's your brother's son or not.

Uncle String.

Will you still love me even if I'm not your nephew?

Thank you.
