Mike starts the ball rolling. He should be smack dab in the middle of the Golden

Triangle. It's dangerous territory.

And dangerous company.

Kill him.

I'd feel a lot better if it was me down in that lab.

Joe will be okay.

French police established cover.

Sinjin and the other mules will be here soon, and then she'll be long gone.

Thank you.

Mike starts the ball rolling. He should be smack dab in the middle of the Golden

Triangle. He's managed to work his way into the hill country of Laos.

It's dangerous territory.

And dangerous company.

He'll make the buy and hopefully get some pictures of Curtis.

He's the number one supplier of raw opium in the world.

Mike's on his way to meet Curtis.

Sinjin served under his command in Vietnam.

Curtis was dealing heroin to his own troops.

When the war ended, he set up his drug empire in the Golden Triangle.

Welcome to Laos.

It's a nice place to visit, if you know what I mean.

Stateside, huh?

That's right.

You know what I'd like to have right now is a good old American hamburger, some

fries and a milkshake. I'll tell you what I'll do when I get back stateside.

I'll go to a takeout and send you some.

Number one, brand raw opium.

Number one brand cash.

Well, I see we understand each other. Looks like.

I had my men pack this up for you, and that's okay.

Well, it's nice doing business with you.

Well, it's nice being done business with.

If you know what I mean.

Yeah, this is Curtis.

The buyer you just left here.

He's seen too much.

When he arrives, kill him.

Home office to traveling man. Do you read?

Home office to traveling man. Come in.

This is traveling man. I read you.

About three miles ahead of you.

The route seems clear.

You see Curtis?

Sure did.

He's operating in a big way, still.

I want that bastard so bad I can taste it.

Don't worry, Sinjin. We've got him now.

Hey, look, it's better late than never.

Traveling man to home office. I'm under fire.

On my way. Ain't stopped.

That should slow him down.

I'll contact you in Singapore. Don't leave your hotel until you hear from me.

Here's your shipping papers.

Mike Rivers, able-bodied seaman.

Merchant marine.

Here's your film.

Curtis had no idea that he was on candid camera.

Well, just make sure there's no screw-ups.

We'll get him, Ascension.

Him and his entire operation.

We'll see you in Marseille.

Marseille.

Do you read?

Read you loud and clear, St. John. What have you got?

Some pretty pictures.

I'll transmit if you're ready.

Go ahead. I'm ready.

Beautiful.

Like he was posing for a passport picture.

Jason promised me a shot at him before he's locked down.

Don't let this become a personal vendetta, St. John.

Curtis turned some close friends into junkies.

A lot of guys got killed because they were too stoned to react to enemy fire.

It's nothing but personal.

I understand, but I don't want your feelings to get in the way of this

operation.

Don't worry. Nothing's going to get in the way.

I waited too long to blow it now.

We all want him, Syngent.

Okay. Airwolf over and out.

You never did tell me what ships you sailed on before.

Nope, never did.

You don't strike me as a seaman.

More like a city kid.

It's all right.

I watched you chow down.

You couldn't get a whiff of that gravy without turning green.

This is your first trip, ain't it?

I got a berth on this bucket to get some peace and quiet.

Catch my drift?

What were you doing in Singapore?

strictly rest and relaxation.

Maybe I'll find some up on deck.

Because I sure as hell won't find any here.

Well, don't fall overboard.

The captain might like to know about you, chump. The ship.

You know, you could be on this tub all the way to Brazil.

Stay out of this, Maxie. You don't know what you're getting into.

My guess is smuggling.

I want a cut or you'll get yours.

Come on, you're getting too old for this game. Just go to bed.

Give me the bag.

All right.

All right, have it your way.

I want to share.

You can spare a few grand.

Split with me or I'll get the skipper. Listen, why don't you just go down below

and tuck yourself in?

I meant to tell you this a lot earlier, Maxie.

You talk too much. You ask too many questions.

Now get the hell out of here.

Colonel Cutie sends his regards.

We've got St. John's pictures.

How you feeling, Mike?

Thank God for bulletproof underwear.

Ran out of seasick pills my second week at sea, but I think I'll recover.

Excellent work, Mike.

Is Joe in position?

Ready to go.

Corsican just made his drop.

Joe should be right behind him.

Make sure you keep a tight watch.

She's vulnerable in there.

Keep this line open.

Will do.

Here comes Joe.

The cars are for the couriers.

I used to be one. A mule?

Believe me, our job is much easier.

Felix. The one I told you about?

Be careful.

He has an appetite for beautiful women.

And I think you are on the menu.

Giselle.

I've been expecting you.

This is Elaine, my assistant.

This is Felix.

Enchanté. I've heard a lot about you.

I'm flattered.

Don't be.

I was the one who told her.

She's been warned.

Pay no attention to Giselle. She has the mistaken impression that I'm nothing but

a gigolo.

The truth is that I am a happily married man.

Seven times.

I would think you'd be ecstatic by now.

Well, enough about me.

We'll have time to get to know each other later.

The chemists have distilled the opium to the morphine base.

We're ready for you to test for quality.

Felix is quite charming, huh?

Charming, yes.

Hypnotic? Yes.

Like a cobra snake.

Let's finish our business before you fall under his spell.

Oh, don't worry about me. I can take care of myself.

I never mix business with pleasure.

Never say never.

Felix is just like the dope he deals.

Once he gets under your skin he's hard to shake.

I put the purity at about 92%. We can start the acetylation, heating and

filtering.

Hand me the tartaric acid and benzol.

Were you a professional chemist?

A long time ago.

Things happen.

Felix.

Yes, Felix.

This is how he handles his women.

Oh, dear.

I'd feel a lot better if it was me down in that lab.

Joe will be okay.

The French police established cover.

Ascension and the other mules will be here soon, and then she'll be long gone.

Mike, I've got some good news and some bad news.

Give me the good.

We've had a report from Interpol on Curtis.

They've spotted him. And the bad news?

They lost him.

Caught a private flight out of Laos, and we don't know where to.

So we'll have every link in the chain except for Curtis.

That singer's gonna be furious.

Better that he doesn't know.

Right now, he's got his hands full.

The chemists are ready.

Good.

Ellen would probably enjoy a holiday.

I'm sorry, I have plans.

Change them.

Come on, Felix.

We have work to do.

You can make your travel arrangements later.

Leave us alone.

The carriers have arrived.

But St. John's late.

Wait a second.

Here he is.

He's going under the name of Ryan Murphy.

The DEA picked up the real Murphy two weeks ago.

And he's been in isolation since.

His cover is solid.

Gentlemen.

You are the American.

Ryan Murphy.

Nice to meet you.

The Barbarian, Mac the Knife, Pepe.

What's the delay, gentlemen?

We've got clients lined up around the block waiting for this shipment.

It's being packaged.

Felix is amusing himself with the blonde.

Women are a priority where he is concerned.

Blonde, huh?

Hélène, one of the graders.

A real knockout.

I must confess a weakness for Bonds myself.

Don't even look at her when Felix is around, or he'll cut your throat.

He doesn't like competition.

Oh, no!

Stop it. Mind if I cut in?

Get out of here.

Wait outside.

I couldn't help but overhear the lady's protests.

I think she might prefer my company.

No, stop this. This is stupid. The call is on. I need to go.

Go on.

You'll have the pleasure of Ellen's company.

Corsican rules.

I hate

to

end a beautiful business relationship over the affections of a tart Felix.

Let's get on with it.

You're winning.

You getting a car?

No hard feelings, huh, Felix?

What do you say?

All right.

Let's get this show on the road.

Need to keep the customers waiting.

Here comes the couriers.

Listen to me, Jo.

Watch your tail.

Beautiful.

How's that look, Jason?

Looks good.

I'm transmitting the courier's license plates to Interpol.

That's phase two.

Nice work, Joe.

What's the word on Curtis?

An Interpol agent thinks he identified him in London.

What's he doing in London?

Can't they nail him?

His jet stopped to refuel.

He was gone before they had a chance to move in on him.

Oh, great.

Great, all that work, and Curtis gets off as free as a bird.

Relax, Mike.

We've got half the police agencies on this planet looking for him. Let's

concentrate on phase three.

Sinjitz should be nearing the border crossing soon.

it will open up

What's hitting you, Mike? You worried about the New York connection?

Partly.

I'm just wondering what happened to Curtis.

He's obviously got good connections in high places.

Yeah.

Well, I'd really like to hang him from one of those high places.

Interpol is tightening the net in Frankfurt, Naples, Rome, and Paris.

They'll swoop in as soon as Syngent wraps up his end.

It should be in approximately four and a half hours.

How's it look on phase three?

Better than we planned.

The DEA just informed me that the three big syndicate chiefs from Chicago, L.A.,

and Montreal have just arrived in the Big Apple.

Big three?

They don't usually crawl out from underneath their rocks to personally

take delivery, huh?

No.

That's why I'm thinking maybe St. John can use some backup going in.

You giving him a wire?

A wire and some muscle.

I'm ready if you need me, Jason.

No, I'll go in myself.

We'll nail them all to the wall, and I want to be there.

How was the flight? Not bad.

Lousy movie.

Greased intestines, though.

We told them you were coming.

Let's get rewired.

Looks good.

How's that read, Jo?

Loud and clear.

We've got a ten-mile radius, but we'll be a lot closer than that.

The closer, the better.

These are the men we'll be delivering to.

What do you mean, we?

We. As in, we be some bad dudes, bro.

I'll be your back door. Joe and Mike will follow with Airwolf.

Let's go.

We got some smack to pack, Jack.

That's a fact.

You got that bad wardrobe, man.

These are my colors, baby. That'd be since I was knee-high to a jackrabbit.

You ready to rock steady, Freddy?

Ready to move with the groove, dude.

Assume the position.

Your turn, sweetheart.

Sorry fellas bosses rules no heaters. Well, I hope the boss is in a good mood

Cuz I want to get paid hey with this kind of business wouldn't you be in a

good mood? I heard that It is kind of money. I'd be retired in Hawaii.

Hey, let me tell you something with Curtis's bread. I could own Hawaii

Curtis

Curtis is here?

What do you think he's up to?

I don't know.

But we better be ready to move in fast.

If Curtis recognizes St. John, we're... Wait.

Listen.

Wait right here.

Looks like he's running a carnival.

Good cover for distribution.

Yeah.

Split if you think Curtis will recognize you.

It's been too many years.

I'm not gonna let him slip by me this time.

He's going down.

Hard.

Relax. Take five, kid.

We only deliver to the head, man.

That's right.

No cash, no stash.

Yeah, well, I gotta check weight before anything happens.

So relax.

It's all there, babe. Forty keys.

Yeah.

Well, I'd just like to get a second opinion.

You'd be surprised how many guys try to rip when out searching.

What's the scam, man?

Your flunky seems to think we're a little light-fingered.

It's business, boys.

Just like the little lady buying steaks at the butcher.

Steaks? That's filet mignon, baby.

And you better tell your meat packer to keep his thumb off the scales.

Well, now, who's the comedian?

My muscle.

Now, I like that. That's a good one.

A mule with muscle.

You must think you're moving on up or something.

If you were smart, you'd think about it.

Most of your boys look like they're ready to pick up their pension checks.

And wear pantyhose.

All right, ten keys

each to you, Bakari, and Watson.

Now keep ten.

Felix tells me that, uh...

You got a lot of jam.

Well, maybe that's because he's losing his.

Seems to me your whole organization has been too fat too long.

Where do I know you from?

Philly, Detroit, Montreal.

I've been around the block. Yeah?

That's funny. I was thinking maybe, uh... Da Nang, or...

Saigon, maybe, or...

High Farm?

No, it seems I missed that one.

I did my duty stateside.

Bad eye, you know.

That's too bad.

I could have used a guy with your talent in my unit.

We're open to offers.

You get a read on that guy?

Carlton Watson.

Distributor from L.A.

Something big must be going on. He never gets out of his jacuzzi unless it's

really important.

Get ready to fly.

We just got word from Europe.

Felix is down.

Gunther's down.

Everybody's been busted.

Somebody on the inside just rolled over.

We got a stool pigeon.

Damn!

Watson, get the guns out of the locker.

Carrie, I want you to take this to Chicago now.

You lay low.

Wait a minute, Curtis.

You owe us money.

We've seen this scam before.

You make like the heat's coming down, then you split with the goods.

Uh-uh.

We want our bread now.

You leave these wise guys here for bait.

Put a couple of bags on them. It'll slow the cops down.

Colonel Curtis!

Sir.

You walk out that door, you're going to have to face the kind of firepower you

never had the guts to in Nam.

But you got it coming, don't you, Curtis?

You served up junk to a bunch of teenage kids and then you sent them into

firefights so high they couldn't feel the wounds that crippled and killed

them.

So you go ahead.

You take the point for once.

You got the guts.

You go ahead and walk out that door.

You're bluffing.

Superman.

We got you cold, Curtis.

Mike, he's coming out the door. Blow him away.

Watson, get the car ready.

Come on, move it, Watson!

Aim carefully, Mike. He's up to his old habits.

You send in the soldiers out first.

You shut up!

Remember you, soldier.

You.

You're the one that's gonna go out first.

Now move it!

Tell your friends outside I'm using you as a shield.

They don't care, Curtis, so cut me down to take you out. St. John, don't be a

fool. Let him go.

They're not worth it. You see, buddy, he's got brains.

And yours are gonna be all over the wall.

Unless you tell him.

Now, you tell him!

Mike, we're coming out. Hold your fire.

Back off.

Damn it.

I want this bastard.

Back off, Mike.

We'll get Curtis.

Mike, dope's inside.

Don't let them out.

Send down the big guns.

I thought you'd never ask.

Party's over, fellas.

Front door.

The carrier has the dope.

Thank you.

He's dead.

I'm just making sure.

We got them all.

It'll dry up the streets for a while anyway.

Long enough to make it count.

We got our evidence.

Let him be.

So,
