Besides,

who would want to hurt me?

People who want to get at your dad.

I've been working for five years to eradicate terrorism in my country. I

know how these people think.

And Jagerman thinks they're going to try and get at him through her, huh?

I will see Jorgen Mann watch his precious daughter die the way he watched

Franz Spada.

Thank you.

One less terrorist for you to hunt down, Inspector Yagaman.

I'm afraid I don't take any pleasure in executions, Commander.

A dozen innocent victims killed.

Seems hardly a fair exchange.

And if he hadn't been in the military, the government would not have made this

an exceptional case.

Inspector, in the farmhouse the terrorists were using, we found this in

the fireworks.

My daughter.

Get me the U.S. Embassy quickly.

Yes, sir.

Inspector Philippe Jagerman, currently with Interpol on an anti-terrorist

mission. He wants his daughter to return home.

Jagerman hasn't seen her for about five years.

He's afraid that she'd take off if she knew that he had us protecting her.

And Jagerman thinks they're going to try and get at him through her, huh?

Could be.

Let's hope not.

Well, at least he's not our responsibility.

Not yet.

You approve?

Come on. Take another bow. You earned it. They loved you. Well, thank you. Out

of the way. They were Mr. Q.

What's wrong with you people? You forget where you are.

I'm sorry, Antonio. It was my fault. The audience loved her.

What's wrong with an extra bow? Change for the finale, Anna.

Look, I do not believe in your American paranoia, but I did agree to accept your

protection.

I also kept it secret from the rest of the troupe.

But what I did not agree is that you ruined my reputation.

What's the big deal? It was an extra bow.

An extra bow.

If you people had a union, I'd ask for a replacement.

You don't understand.

Mime is a highly disciplined art.

One, just one extra bow controlled the natural flow and rhythm of the entire

performance.

There's no room for such indulgence.

The show.

Must go on. Uh-huh.

The roar of the grease paint.

The smell of the crowd.

God, I love show business.

Ah. We better stay on our toes or we're going to lose our jobs.

That's a nice move.

The company took a video of Airwolf in action?

Yeah.

That chopper was one of the four that were hijacked from a supply ship in the

Pacific two years ago.

We didn't make a connection until a terrorist used one of these choppers to

take out the French Prime Minister's motorcade six weeks ago.

And was put up against a firing squad for his efforts.

The intelligence community's best estimate places him as part of a new

terrorist group.

Experts recruited from various countries.

All the members have no criminal record, so they're hard to track down.

Any clue as to who the leader of the group is?

None.

What do the choppers have to do with the girl?

Well, Jagerman is convinced that they'll use the chopper to kidnap his daughter.

But we believe that she's only a small part of a much bigger plan.

Does the girl know she's in danger?

I don't think so.

Well, let's just hope that Mike breaks the news to her gently.

He has a way with women.

I just have a way with women. A certain... Je me sais quoi.

What?

Je... A way with words.

Ah, she trusts me.

Don't worry, I'll tell her.

Tell me what?

Joe, didn't you have to go fix some props or something for tonight's show?

Yeah, sure. Why not?

Hi. Hi.

I know what you were going to tell me.

You do? Mm-hmm.

You were going to confess that you don't really work in the theater.

I was?

I mean, I don't?

Any professional can tell that.

You're both too down-to-earth.

Not the artistic temperament, you understand?

Yeah. Yeah.

Tell me something, Mike.

You and Joe, are you, um... Are you friends, or...? Uh... We're just, uh...

Down-to-earth friends.

Good. Good.

So... Do you know any good places to eat?

Do I?

I-I do.

Yeah. Lots.

Will you still kidnap the girl?

Ah, yes.

I will see Jorgelman watch his precious daughter die the way he watched Francois

die. Our informer says they have arrived in the theater.

We must proceed with caution. The Americans have probably surrounded her

with protection.

No matter.

We will teach Jorgelman how to cry.

And then on to bigger things.

They found her, Inspector.

The Americans have assigned two agents.

Good.

Arrange with our consulate to expedite her return trip.

I don't want any slip-ups. She's not coming back.

What? She insists on continuing the tour.

Book me on the next flight.

Use a false name.

You're going alone?

Yes, alone.

Contact U.S. Intelligence.

I do not care where the press seats.

Just do not give away the seats of paying customers.

Comprenez-vous? Understand?

Okay. Well, then, I'll tell Anna, and you tell Anton.

Not good.

Why not?

She needs gentle persuasion, Joe.

Ah.

More of your je ne sais quoi approach?

Yeah, yeah.

Besides, I'm going to give her this.

A detector?

Yeah.

Good luck, Mikey.

Thanks, Jo.

Oh, Anton, could I speak with you for a moment?

Anna's father's coming in from France this afternoon, and he insists on taking

her back with him.

What about the show?

What does Anna say about this?

Well, Mike's talking to her now. We've got to get her to a safe place.

A safe place?

You Americans see assassins behind every tree.

Traitors in the shadows.

You're like frightened children.

Look, when I was in the French resistance, we lived by our wits.

If we could not judge a traitor from one of our own, we died.

Well, that's what we're trying to prevent.

You're trying to frighten the girl.

She's safer here among her friends.

Spies. No, I still can't believe that you would be part of all that.

Anna, we are not spies.

We're here to protect you, that's all.

Look, I don't care what your orders are. The way I live my life is my own affair.

That's fine.

That's fine.

But the danger could be real.

What is real? My life here is real. No, what's real is that you're Philippe

Jägerman's daughter. That's what's real.

Leblanc. Anna LeBlanc. I left his name when I left his house.

He's worried about you.

He's worried about me.

He sent a message via the consulate ordering me to return.

No thought for my life, what I'm doing here.

No, he is a driven man without a heart.

Besides, who would want to hurt me?

People who want to get at your dad?

Anna, please.

No.

No, I am not going to run back to Papa.

Oh, and you can keep your trinket.

And to think I was beginning to like you.

I want the chopper armed and ready to go on five minutes' notice. You are to

sleep here.

Understand?

And have Pierre ready with the other chopper.

Hello?

Say what?

Oh, hang on.

It's Paris.

Oui.

Bon.

The package is en route to you.

Ducos.

Yagerman has taken the bait.

Access code accepted.

For your eyes only.

That's him.

No shooting. I want him alive.

Mr. Jagerman?

Shall we go?

No,

no, no. They did not see us. We'll lose him. Don't be a fool. He came to see his

daughter.

We know where she is.

Try this one.

All right.

Attention, attention, everyone.

Finish what you're doing, then take an early supper.

I want a technical rehearsal starting at six.

Anna.

I know you're looking tired.

Take some rest. It's all right, Anton. I just need some air.

I think I'll join you.

No, no, thank you. I prefer to be alone.

Well, I need some fresh air, too, so...

All

right.

Jean, Jean, what say you and I juggle our schedules and go out and grab a

burger? There's no need for sign language if that's what you're doing.

He reads lips.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I forgot.

Well, what did he say?

Yeah?

Hello, ladies.

Oh, thanks.

Well, I don't blame him.

Why don't we join Joe and Anna?

We could all do with some air.

Very good.

Come on.

It's good to be outside.

You all right?

You're too clumsy to be professionals.

Let's get out of here.

Crazy American drivers, huh?

So, they have two men on the inside.

That's all we need to know.

There is obviously no time to waste.

Well, we don't know for sure if it was an attempt on her life. No? A mere

coincidence, perhaps?

Spare me your American optimism.

I've been working for five years to eradicate terrorism in my country. I

know how these people think. My people are up there risking their necks to help

keep your daughter safe.

Forgive me.

I am a worried father.

I agreed to come here in the heat of the moment.

You didn't tell me my father would be here. Anna.

I am not going home.

Could I have a few minutes alone with my daughter?

Sure.

Why don't you use the office?

We'll wait in the hangar.

Anna, let's go.

Papa, why do you always have to spoil things?

Papa, listen to me.

On stage, every night, I make a statement.

A statement for peace and understanding.

In my own small way, I act out stories about caring people.

People who love their fellow human beings.

People concerned with this very fragile, precious world we live in.

I am no threat to anyone.

Who would want to harm me?

The terrorists who want to get back at me.

You haven't changed, have you?

You're still driven by this dirty little war of yours.

We have evidence.

Your poster in their headquarters.

And what about the truck in the alley?

That was no accident.

Is that the way you want me to live?

Crouching in a corner, terrified by every sound?

Oh, I had enough of that when I lived at home.

Whatever problems there are between us, I hold myself responsible.

I love you.

I don't want to see you hurt.

There is a special rehearsal tonight.

In preparation for our last performance.

Why don't you come and watch us?

You know you've never seen me perform.

Very well.

And then you will consider returning with me.

All Americans like guns.

You've seen the movies.

I must leave tonight, John, after the performance.

My sister is ill.

I won't have time to tell your grandfather, but will you give this note

to him?

Will you do that for me?

Yes, I know.

We'll do more of that when I come back.

You can safeguard the magician's box for me.

Hello?

What do you want?

Well, we expected to hear from you by now. Is the girl still there?

She has left with the Americans.

There's nobody here.

You fool, where are they?

You said that no one would be hurt.

You almost killed the boy, along with Anna.

I'm finished spying for you.

Then you can say goodbye to your sister.

Make preparations.

We strike tonight.

So what do you think?

Was it an attempt on her life? Well, if it was, they were amateurs.

But it succeeded in one thing.

Which was?

They blew our cover.

We'll be late for the rehearsal.

You're right.

Hey, do you want to leave this hog and join us?

Move those props off stage!

Allons, allons!

Places, everybody!

Oh, Anna, it's about time.

You're a half hour late.

I should dock you at day's pay.

Oh, Anton, it's only a rehearsal.

Only a rehearsal.

All right, all right, everybody, let us start.

Well, I'm glad you could make it, Jason.

You want to watch the rehearsal? I could take the outside watch.

Nah, I'm a song and dance man myself.

Besides, maybe we can switch at intermission. Deal.

Lana?

Please, for me?

All right.

Locke, are you in position yet?

Just getting here, Jo.

Looks like a normal night in the back alley.

Well, watch out for trucks burning rubber.

Over.

That's Cornelius.

He's playing the introduction for Turand.

He's our mime magician.

Now you should really see him, Papa.

It's you I'm interested in, Anna.

Well, I'm on next. I should really go get ready.

Where's Jean? He's on.

Oh, thank you.

You know, I don't know how he does it.

He can't hear his cue and he's always on time.

Locke, find Yagerman and Anna, fast!

God, hi!

Joe!

No sign of Anna and Jagerman.

I do not understand.

I do not understand.

Mike?

Air or ground?

Give me air support.

I'm gonna stay on the ground on this one.

You got it.

Mike, Joe, we'll be in contact as soon as we get the lady in the air.

It's a long shot right now, though.

We have no idea which way they were headed. Don't worry.

We got help.

She's wearing a homing device. Come on, let's go.

One move, young man.

She dies.

That is your only warning.

You won't get away with this.

Ah, American cliches.

Then we will all die, huh?

What do you want from us?

What do I want?

That's a good one. Tell her, Abdul, huh?

Revenge. Your death for his brothers.

No, no, the other direction.

You're losing it.

Look, come on, Locke. Can't you give us something more to go on?

We're homing in on the detector, Mike. Give us a break. There's more than just

one car down there.

Okay, okay, do your best.

Can't you go any faster?

What is this?

Oh, no.

Dear Anton, by the time you get this note, I shall be on my way to

Beirut.

Terrorists are holding my sister hostage.

I promise to help them if they let her go.

Forgive me.

I had no choice.

They are after Anna.

She is in danger.

To Rome.

He was a good man, Jean.

We will always remember him.

At least let my daughter go. She is of no use to you.

Au contraire, monsieur terrorist hunter.

She is of great use to us.

Once you have watched her die, you will.

What?

What is it?

It was a homing device.

The readings just stopped.

They're gone completely.

I'll try and contact Mike.

Yeah, I'm down once.

Why don't we just go by the warehouse, then?

Prepare that.

A simple yet effective device.

I'd love to kill you right now, but it would ruin my plan.

Don't gag her. No one can hear her screams.

Look, we'll crisscross the streets.

Look, we don't even know what we're looking for. Sit tight, you guys.

We've got some kind of activity in one of the buildings in that area.

You might say that the fate of you and your daughter is in your own hands, Mr.

Sharkaman.

When the pressure is released, the bomb will explode.

You're scum, Drucker. Just like your brother.

My only regret is that I will not be here to witness your suffering.

But I have a vivid imagination, huh?

You only have a few moments to catch up for lost time, Mr. Zorkerman.

I suggest you take advantage of it.

Oh!

And by the way, in case your body does not give out, the bomb is scheduled to

explode in... Let's keep it a surprise, eh?

Take it carefully. Stand by in the preparations for your final glory

tomorrow.

Anna, I... Papa, please don't.

I'm so sorry.

If I could do anything now, give anything... Listen to me, Papa.

It's not your fault.

I regret I never saw you perform.

If I could do it all again, I... Perhaps I would do it differently.

I've got something.

It's all right.

Anna, are you all right?

Please help, Papa.

Bring a barrel.

Sandbag.

Okay, let's get the hell out of here. Come on.

What was that?

Airwolf, come in, Airwolf.

We're okay down here. We've lost them, Mike.

I know where they're headed.

We sit tight until tomorrow.

Let's go back to the lair for now.

What are we up against?

This information just came in Peter Drucker

Wanted in over five countries for masterminding terrorist activities.

His brother was executed by Jagermann for similar activities.

Abdul Rastaman.

Recently escaped from an Italian prison.

He's a demolitions expert.

He probably rigged the bomb in the warehouse.

The targets have been narrowed to the NATO conference.

Let's go.

Conference site is 10 miles north.

Bandits at 3 o'clock.

Hijack shoppers.

Let's pick them up.

Look to that company.

What is that thing?

I'm getting tired of this.

Let's go get them.

That's one.

They're headed out over the water.

Gentlemen, set the chopper down.

We'll show them our pearly whites.

A toast to long life and happiness for all of us, and especially our good

American friends.

A votre santé.

I wish we could have met under better circumstances.

Better than no circumstances at all.

Thank you, Mike.

Thank you for everything.

Sounds a little too much like au revoir to me.

I'm afraid it is.

We have a lot of catching up to do.

And on your terms, one day at a time.

Does that mean you're not coming back?

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

Besides, I know this little bistro on the Pont de Nuit.

They serve incredible American hamburgers.

I'll be there.

And he'll be there.

As soon as we can give him some time off.

See you.

Thank you.
