We're on the brink of a disaster both natural and political. I'm not sending

more men to their death.

God, he's going to crash.

Pull back. The whole thing's ready to blow.

The pressure in reactor number two is almost at the critical stage again.

One more time.

Welcome to Stavrograd.

Our cloud, dead ahead.

My God, we'd be fried if we weren't sealed in.

I got a beat on the source.

It's in Soviet territory.

The hell's up there?

It's a nuclear power plant.

Stop a grot.

Open the feed water length between one and two.

Vladimir, that could affect number two as well. You could expose the core.

There is no other choice.

Do it.

Now!

Jason, I want to go in.

I'd say they're in the center of the biggest hornet's nest since the Cuban

Missile Crisis.

Do you have control of the situation or not?

What are you doing here?

That, my dear, is exactly what I was about to ask you.

Have you really come here to help?

Right now, that's up to you.

You have to lend. He's hurt.

I can't. The second we open the doors, we'd all be contaminated.

I have to do something.

What's going down over there?

Hold on, Jason. See for yourself.

Kirov's people intercepted a broadcast you made to America.

Give us a break.

You have hung yourselves this time, my friends.

Listen, I'm not looking for your blessing here. I just want to get them

out in one piece. As far as the company is concerned, they don't exist.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

It means that we can't afford to get any dirtier than we already are.

Your people were ordered to stay the hell out of Stavagrad.

Therefore, they did not go to Stavagrad.

You're telling me this never happened?

We have already begun proceedings to eliminate Ehrwolf from the files.

And we're supposed to just forget about them?

In a brief but stunning announcement, the Soviet Union has confirmed that an

accident has indeed occurred at the experimental nuclear facility of

Stavrograd in its isolated northwest region.

No other details were offered in a short statement from the TASS news agency, but

State Department officials say they have a firm grip on the situation.

I've no idea what's going on, sir.

Well, Locke went in strictly on his own, sir, without company sanction.

Yes, sir.

I understand, sir. We don't want another Iranian situation.

According to Article 6 of the covert activities section... Yes, sir.

I hate that book, too, sir.

All right.

Enough.

Reactor number two is heating up faster than expected.

Don't you think I know that?

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

My pilots and aircraft are standing by.

Let them stand. Your plan is too risky.

the amounts of boron compound in the missile would be insignificant.

And if they miss the core, the impact could cause all three reactors to blow.

I'm not sending more men to their death.

Kirov, on one thing we agree.

We must find a way to bring reactor number one under control.

It's no good anyway. The place is sealed tight.

I trust

you are comfortable.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, real cozy.

You know we're here to help, Arkov.

I know nothing.

I find it hard to believe you know that much.

Dragging doesn't become you, Arkov.

Come with me. We need extra help at the infirmary.

Well, I'm glad someone's finally come to their senses. Come on, guys.

No.

Just you.

You know we're clean, Arkov. Just look at the tapes again.

Next. Your papers.

You're an athlete by profession?

No, sir, I'm a draftsman.

Cecil won my visa.

So it does.

We see very many sports visas at this entry, Samuel Mason.

Why do you suppose this is?

Search me.

It's just an expression.

Like, have a nice day.

How many more people are going to have to suffer before we start helping each

other?

It's not as simple as that.

It isn't, huh?

Tell that to these men here.

Tell that to their children.

Tell that to the people who get cancer ten years from now. You tell them that!

Stop it seal it off.

I can't the control won't respond

With just a little luck, the pressure will stay down until we can formulate

some course of action.

What about the boron compound?

No, it is too dangerous.

To do nothing is also dangerous. We're on the brink of a disaster, both natural

and political.

You should listen to the experts. This is a military matter. I do not need the

KGB telling me what to do.

If you are not prepared to make this decision,

I am sure to eat the rivage, will you?

Next time this door opens, you've got to make room for it.

If we make it to Erewolf, at least we stand a fighting chance.

Run for it to where?

Even if we make it to the chopper, we still need Joe.

Some vacation.

Stop it!

I told you, leave it be!

There is no telling what kind of traps the Americans may have set for us.

Your plan is very imaginative, Commander Kirov.

But don't you think it is a very big gamble?

Not with you in charge.

You too, Vlaslov.

You do me a great honor, sir.

Now remember, your aim must be precise.

There will be no second chances.

No second chances.

Men die from such an honor as this?

Kill us all.

I made the bomb, and he lights the fuse.

Vladimir.

If there was some way that we could seal off the core of the first reactor, then

we can send in a team to repair the damage to the second one and try to cool

this down.

Roll the tape.

Hold it. Wait a minute.

Tabardage. No tabardage.

Bill Crosby?

You want X's or O's? Give me O's.

Again? Just give me X's. I don't care. I've been O's every single day. Give me

X's.

Well, it's about time.

But Kirov and the others will not.

So now what?

Kirov wants to fire boron compound missiles into the core of reactor number

one.

You've got to be kidding. That's practically impossible.

He's going to turn this place into a day-glow gravel pit if he does that.

Good airwolf. How can it help?

I don't know. I'd have to see what the situation is.

I can take you to your helicopter.

But the rest is up to you. So what about Jo?

I will take care of Jo.

Like you did in Bulgaria, huh?

I got her back to you unharmed. Okay.

Yeah, well, let's just hope your timing is a little better this time around.

See what I can do.

Gentlemen, after you.

Thank you.

How do you like it, comrade?

Jello? Coca-Cola?

Stavograd.

For you, comrade.

Thank you.

What is the status of the second reactor now? The pressure is rising Your plan is

ludicrous.

Fortunately for us all, it is no longer your decision to make.

I have already set in motion certain...

All right, so what's your plan?

My plan?

Yeah. I haven't got a plan. I was hoping you had a plan.

You don't have a plan?

All right, look, what we need is one of your diversions.

My diversions?

Why not one of your diversions? I don't do diversions. Don't do diversions.

All right, look.

We'll go to plan B.

Plan B?

What's plan B?

We make it up as we go along.

Come on.

What the... Nice of you

to drop in.

I wouldn't have missed this for the world.

Very touching reunion.

Welcome to Stavograd.

Shavuot

Not spying.

Then tell me, my dear Alexandria, what is this man doing here? I was

on a fishing expedition and I got lost.

Catch anything?

A cold.

Can't you see? They are trying to help.

If you send those jets in there, we may as well be dead.

She's right.

At least with Airwolf we'd be able to get close enough to take a decent shot.

Do you speak of missiles or your cameras?

Find the other one and bring him here.

We have to move quickly.

What's happened?

I've helped your friends escape.

You and I will have to get out on our own. Now come.

If we do not go now, there will be a thousand more.

You will come with me.

Go ahead. I will bring the girl.

Our orders are to bring you both.

I see.

Well, in that case...

Always

full of surprises, Joe Santini.

It's the least I could do. Come on.

Listen to me.

Look, you can't do it. It's too risky.

It'll be like threading a needle at 800 miles an hour. What are you, nuts?

Even in your Air Force, orders must be obeyed. We must go.

Okay. Okay, you might have a chance in it, but I'm not so sure about your buddy

here, and I don't think you are either.

There is no choice.

Yeah, yeah, there is.

Let me do it.

This is not possible. Sure it is.

You stay here, and I'll go up.

By the time Kirov and his goons find out, it will be history.

This is a very good idea.

How do we do this?

Boris will be thrown to the wolves for such a thing. Not if I overpower him.

Can you pretend to be unconscious?

They will never believe.

Go on, give it a shot.

It must be real. Yes, all right.

All right, have it your way.

We go.

Something must have gone wrong.

Now what do we do?

You can fly this, Airwolf.

Yeah, I can fly this, Airwolf.

The girl is willing to cooperate, but I am not taking any chances.

It could be a booby trap.

Have your men take it outside.

Immediately.

Open the door.

I do not want excuses.

Find them.

Lose something?

It does not matter.

There is nowhere to run.

My pilots will show you just how much of your help we need.

Let's hope not, Hot Rod.

These things must be built for speed, because they sure ain't built for

comfort.

You Americans like everything too soft. You are spoiled.

Fine by me.

What say we get this over with?

Who takes the first shot?

Hatch me into the aircraft through the tower.

Good luck up there. We are depending on you.

Well, thank you, comrade. We're going to need all the help we can get.

What is this man doing there?

Bring them back.

Bring them back!

What is it?

The pressure in reactor number two has reached almost the critical stage again.

Bring them back!

It is too late.

pictures and we broadcast the situation.

It cannot be kept secret any longer.

Yuri, how did you let this happen?

Answer me. Repeat.

How did you let this happen?

It's a long story.

Maintaining radio silence.

Here goes nothing.

What are those fighters doing there?

My God.

That fool.

Transmitting pictures to patrol room.

Come on, Mike, get the hell out of there.

Commander Kira, what is it? The American woman.

She and Arkov have taken the Air Wolf.

Get out.

It's going to blow up.

Send them back. Please send them back.

Abort the mission and return to base.

Do you read me? Abort the mission and return to base.

Return to base.

It's too low.

Is it light?

Second reactor's about to blow.

Hang on.

God, he's going to crash

Respond, damn you, respond!

Come in, Stavograd.

Aircraft down, I repeat, aircraft down.

Shoot her down!

Sorry, I can't help you there.

I hope you're satisfied now, Kirov.

You've just killed one of the best damn pilots I've ever seen.

I'm bringing this turkey down.

Right behind you, Mike.

I will see you shot for this, Arkov.

I think not.

Not after I discuss your brilliant plan with Moscow.

I had Dmitriyevich's full authority. You had nothing but your power-hungry ego to

feed.

Shall I call Dmitriyevich and ask him if you authorize this insanity?

I thought as much.

Now we are doing things my way.

The explosion in the second reactor wasn't big enough to damage the core.

And the third reactor seems intact.

We were very lucky.

Yeah, well, we had some coming.

We'll fire directly at the walls and try and collapse them.

That might smother the fire in number one.

Then, if we can seal off the second reactor, we can bring the cooling system

from number three and keep number two from overheating again.

And your air wolf can do this?

Let's find out.

Let's go, Mike.

Don't blame yourself.

Fury wouldn't.

I'm sure you don't need me in the back seat. No, we're going to need a level

head down here. Good luck.

You better go.

We have a team ready to move in the moment you have secured the situation.

Good work.

So much pain.

So much destruction.

You will be very careful up there.

You can count on it.

Reactor number two, the temperature is rising 30 Celsius degrees per minute.

Switching targeting monitor to infrared.

Roger.

What is he doing?

They have to fire from a nosedive. It's the only way to ensure a direct hit.

Ready?

And waiting.

Firing one.

Direct hit on number one.

I haven't sealed it off yet. Number two is still heating up.

One more time.

We missed.

Have that team standing by. We're switching to plan B.

What's plan B?

I'm not sure yet.

Pull back. The whole thing's ready to blow.

What are they doing?

Fighting fire with firepower. We're going to laser that sucker shot.

Say the word, fry it.

Temperature is still rising, 900 degrees Celsius.

That's impossible.

The external temperature is reaching its critical stage.

temperature stropping is working you did it guys glad to hear it

we'll be back in as soon as we cool off

Authorities have released a brief statement regarding the massive volumes

of radioactive gases released from the Stavograd nuclear facility The

Soviet news agency went on

to say that the situation at Stavograd was brought under control before it

reached a critical stage There were no deaths and only minor injuries reported

Goodbye, my friend.

Goodbye. Good luck.

You folks have a lot of work to do now. I just wish there was more we could do

to help.

You saved my life.

You saved all of our lives.

What more could anyone do?

So... This time I am in your debt.

Well, let's just say we're even, Arkov.

Nikolai is my name.

I would like, if there was time, for us to be friends.

Away from the danger and the politics.

Well, maybe we'll make some time, Nikolai.

For you.

Thank you.

And you send me Mickey Mouse head from Disneyland?

Mickey. Mickey?

Mickey. Mickey?

Okay.

You take care. You take care. No, you take care. You take care. Get out of

here. Go on.

Thank you.

You fly your arrow very carefully, my friend.

We better hit the road.

See you.

Thank you.
