Next, on Airwolf.

My brother's still alive.

Some guy rips off a cockamamie copter, and you're going bananas.

Stand down!

Stay! Get out of here!

Your brother is missing in action. That's his M.O. He grabbed that chopper.

We will find the Ajax one, and when we do, we'll blow it to hell. Along with

whoever is inside it.

Come on, Dunkirk.

Truth.

How much is in this for you, huh?

Ah!

That bird's long gone. He did it.

String. Calm down and think realistically, will you? Are you really

trying to tell me that your brother is alive after all these years?

Not in the Viet Cong prison, but here in the States?

This is his kind of job.

Oh, you're hysterical.

Some guy rips off a cockamamie copter and then you're going bananas.

They came in under zero power using auto rotation.

That's a technique we developed in Nam for hitting Kong depots.

it off without stuffing the chopper in the ground.

Myself, Colonel Vidor, Mace Taggart, and Sinjin.

And Colonel Vidor is dead.

So is Mace Taggart.

I'm here.

So who's that leave?

Sinjin.

My brother's still alive.

Where's my brother?

Sanjay! Mace!

Where are you? Give me your coordinates.

My chopper went down 50 yards east of the river.

String, we're tolling up the program.

Yeah, tell him we'd like to go home. This dance is over.

Roger. I read you.

Almost there.

I gotcha.

See what happens when he asks for waivers on brothers in the same unit?

What can I do?

He's afraid to stay at home alone.

No.

We're standing!

Let's hit it!

Come on! Hit it!

Go! Go! The ropes are full! We can't take any more!

It's my brother!

Nothing. We've already covered all the ground within HX-1's fuel radius.

One more pass and I'm gonna phone Archangel. That baby's nowhere.

Don't bother.

I'll see him myself.

String, don't open up that hurt all over again. You know what it does to you.

Dom, you've always wanted to be a father to me.

And I'm grateful.

For a father.

Not a mother.

String, think.

After all these years, your brother wouldn't be running around like this

without... trying to contact you now would he that's what i intend to find

out are

you out of your mind the firm was not involved

in the davco raid yeah just like you had nothing to do with airwolf If we had the

HX-1, why would I have every branch of the military plus 30-odd fixed-orbit

satellites searching for the damn thing and then call you in? I don't care about

HX-1.

Well, I do.

That thing is one of a kind.

Her avionics are revolutionary. She can out-climb, out-maneuver, out-shoot

anything else that flies.

Pound for pound, she may even be more deadly than Airwolf. That's how serious

this thing is.

What I care about is my brother, Sinjin.

Sinjin? What's he got to do with this? Come on, Michael.

He's here, isn't he?

I don't know how you came up with an idea like that.

Isn't he?

Your brother is missing in action. M.I.A. in Vietnam.

And the firm is still looking for him. That's our deal, remember?

You guys found him. You got some kind of hold on him so he can't contact me.

I think it might be better if we took you off this one.

Michael, that's his M.O. He grabbed that chopper.

I'm gonna find it.

And when I do, he'll be in the cockpit.

Hawk, we can't have a weapon like this on the loose.

You worry about the weapons.

I'm worried about my brother.

What I'm saying is we will find the HX-1, and when we do, if there's just

this much chance of it leaving the country, we'll blow it to hell, along

with whoever is inside it.

Well, what'd I tell you?

No satisfaction, right?

Ah, everything with Archangel's like a Chinese puzzle.

Look, let's say he is alive.

How do you find a man who doesn't want to be found or hasn't been found in all

these years?

Well, during the latter part of the war, we did a lot of intelligence work.

Me, Sinjin, and I.

Trouble is, some of the people we worked with got to like it too much.

Sure, they became mercenaries, but Sinjin wasn't that kind.

He couldn't do it for money.

Any more than you could.

Maybe he doesn't have any choice.

Look, in order to find Sinjin, I'm gonna have to find HX1.

That means I'm gonna have to go back into life.

But String, that world is a sewer.

What they steal and deal in is wholesale misery and death.

It'll be well worth it.

If finally this time I can pull Sinjin out.

Hey, Joe.

What you been up to?

Ah, this and that.

You can see.

You're looking awful fat and sassy.

I can't complain.

That's a mighty nice weapon.

You must have some shekels in your pocket.

How come all the questions, Captain?

Did you read about the HX-1 raid?

Wasn't that beautiful?

You know, it kind of makes you homesick for the old days.

Tell you the truth, me and some of the mercs had you pegged for the job, but I

said, come on, be serious.

Hawk's out of the dog's life.

He's not studying war no more.

You know, it's an awful lot like those operations Mace and my brother used to

pull off.

Yeah, except Mace is dead.

And your brother is too, or he might as well be.

You know that?

Hey, Hawk, jeez.

I mean, Mace's body was ID'd, and what was left of it was shipped back.

And your brother?

That poor guy's still MIA.

What are you doing?

I've got a feeling that Stenjan's still alive.

A real feeling.

Tell your folks that.

My folks were dead.

See you around, Joe.

Joe we got a problem well done Kurt

Mace

used to say

Dad, you have twin sons.

How about that?

Me and my twin, Sinjin.

Did he ever tell you that?

Yes, sir, he did.

You were their baby brother.

Do you know where this was taken?

Feng Tao?

No.

Ham Tan.

Mace was a captain by then.

Frank and I know every step that he took those last two weeks.

Here.

Here's a motley crew of stumble bums if I ever saw them.

to the end, not yet.

All the way, my man. All the way.

Problem is, what do we do with him?

Can't take him with us. I'll come.

Because they sent him to us.

Hey.

Come on. No. Cut the love scene. Come on out. This is serious art for posterity's

sake. Hey.

Gosh, how ugly.

You see him wearing her?

My brother was a fine man.

He taught Mace all he knew.

Yes.

Mr. Taggart... Have you read anything about a break-in at the Davsco aircraft

plant?

A break-in?

There was a top-secret prototype.

Talk is, it was stolen.

Is that so?

Well, the thing is, it was the same kind of operation that this unit used to pull

off.

Well, what I'm asking is, get out.

Mace did it.

At last, somebody else believes me. Get out. Of course it can't be dead. My

heart is still beating. A mother knows that. I told you. Our son is lying in

Arlington in an honorable grave.

Now, the United States Army certified him killed in action.

But you want to think that he's still alive, don't you?

Because you could have saved him, and you didn't.

You could have saved your own brother, and you didn't.

That's why you came back here.

Because you want to know that you didn't let them die. Well, I am telling you

that you did let them die. You let them die.

Please, please, no, no, no. Don't stop. Don't stop. You find them both. There's

a very good reason why they haven't come forward. So when you see Mace, you tell

him that we will understand it. He is dead.

Dead.

So are 57,000 others.

But not you.

Not you!

So is that true? You're asking me if my intentions are honorable?

Baby, you know I'll be back after the war to help you plow those rice bags.

That is to love.

Hey, do you love me too, Mace? Oh, baby, you know I love you.

But you just gotta get rid of this Joker syndrome.

Oh, Mace, put me down.

You guys had enough to drink. Why don't you just float away?

Float? That's the Navy.

Float.

Do you love

me?

Do I love being alive?

Don't say that.

Ellie, I was just kidding.

Okay, but not here. Not about that.

I love you at home.

Oh, geez, I think I'm gonna be sick.

I'm gonna be sick.

So are we gonna get married and have kids?

Yep.

Lots of kids.

Lots of very beautiful kids.

He likes you.

So are you still working for the firm?

She wants to know if I'm working for the firm.

Well, almost everybody knew it.

We were that obvious, huh?

Only to those who loved you and worried about you.

Not bad, homemade.

Arthur made it. No kidding.

No.

No, as a matter of fact...

Arthur made him, too.

Pretty good, huh?

Does he love you, Ellie?

Yes.

Good.

Of course, being married to an accountant isn't exactly the

Saturday night in Da Nang with Sinjin Hawk.

Well, at least you're happy.

We had it all, he and I.

You had more than that.

My one night of folly with Captain Mace Taggart.

Boy, Ellie, girl, did you blow it.

A lover's quarrel with Sinjin Hawk.

The guy you always dreamed of.

Then a one-night stand with Mace because we had a fight and too much wine and

bingo.

Our whole future's down the tubes.

String, why in the hell are you dragging him back into my life?

He's not dead.

Oh, String.

I think he pulled off that Davsco aircraft raid.

No.

Dear God, String, give yourself a break.

He's gone.

Accept it.

Forget it.

I mean, don't torture yourself after all these years.

That's Mr.

618.

618?

Arthur pulls into the driveway every day at exactly 618.

Yeah, you can set your watch by him and your life.

Ellie, after you came back, did you ever think about St. John?

Like when you see a face on a bus or in a ballpark?

No, Hawk.

Never. Not once.

Until now.

You coming here.

Hi, hon.

I want you to meet an old friend.

Kent!

That was great.

He is a crazy guy.

Your son is a fortune.

I happen to know your fortunes are in the pits, so you can stand another war

this year.

Besides, Persian Gulf's a great place to visit.

The food's fantastic, as long as you don't mind Santa.

What's the pay?

200 a day, the latest weapons, all the ammo you can eat.

200 a day?

That's bandage money.

Right, Hawk?

Don't knock it. It's the only war in town.

Hi,

guys.

Dunkirk, you still recruiting bodies?

Man has to make a living.

You're still flying that souped-up Black Mariah you borrowed from the fan?

Just kidding, Hawker. You know I like to kid.

Cash!

Long time no see, Hoff.

I've been busy.

Too busy to rap with old friends?

You got a problem, Decker?

Maybe you got a problem.

What's up, Hawker? What you looking for?

My brother.

We're in the wrong country, old son. I mean, he's missing in action over there,

remember? Yeah, I heard a certain helicopter pilot got the willies and

then flew off and left him for VC target practice.

You have a big mouth, Max.

Now it's bleeding.

Who asked him to come here?

You know, you guys don't have the brains to have pulled off that raid without

Sinjin. You still have a touch of malaria, old son.

When you see my brother, tell him I'm looking for him. You can write this

down.

I will find him.

You should have never come back.

Seeing you again, pal, gave me a taste.

I said, yeah.

I said, yeah.

What's it gonna take, pal?

Dom, I'm telling you, he's alive.

Oh? You saw him?

You saw somebody.

I felt him.

Oh, sure, sure.

Just like one of the mectoplasms, or whatever it is you call them, goose.

Yeah.

That's right.

Yes, ma'am?

Excuse me.

So, this is, uh...

Where you work.

Yeah, sometimes.

Last month, uh, Dunkirk came to see me.

He wanted me to handle his books because he needed someone who, uh, he could

trust. Did you handle him?

No.

I'm through with that world, thanks.

I really am string.

But Dunk offered me a lot of money.

Did he say what he was up to?

He's selling arms now.

But not just guns.

Rockets.

Tanks.

Planes.

Please be careful, String.

Not bad.

Uh-huh.

Are you properly impressed, chum? I'm more than impressed.

I had no idea that recruiting mercenaries paid so well.

What do you want here, Hawk?

The HX-1.

Now, there's a bird.

Should have been called exterminator. Give me one of those babies and I'll

clean house come Armageddon. Yeah, I bet you would.

Hawk, if I had HX-1, I'm not even sure if I'd trade for that little honey of

yours. Just look at the stats. Mind-boggling. Speed, maneuverability,

nuclear capability, and cheap as hell.

A little death wagon with kill capacity of half our regular Air Force at bargain

prices. Come and get it!

Uncle Michael, Uncle Michael, can I ride?

Oh, of course you can, darling.

But you have got to keep really quiet because Mr. Hawk and I are talking, all

right? Now, here comes your horsey.

We'll go on this one, shall we?

Yes.

Whoa! Not too fast.

You were saying?

How much you getting for the HX-1?

I don't have it.

You know, I don't approve of recruiting men to kill, but that new chopper is

wholesale slaughter.

Defense.

In the wrong hands. We've created another superpower.

That doesn't bother you.

Depends on the sale price.

Heaven don't come cheap, you know.

It would have bothered my brother.

Let me tell you something, Hawk.

You have a poison in you. I didn't put it there.

The mercenary life, poor God and country, you see a difference?

That's the lie you live.

The mayor war is a war.

God, I wish to hell your brother was still around.

I could use a man like him.

The man came to me and there was nothing I could say to turn him off.

You want the truth?

I don't want to hurt the guy, but he's getting too close.

If Armand hadn't held us up, we'd be long gone.

Instead, we're watching the clock and seeing how long we can duck.

We shall cut the bloody bird up with torches and shift it to Livia.

Lighten up.

Tomorrow we'll give Armand a show he won't forget out at Red Rock Flats.

Then we'll all retire to a Swiss leg.

Don't even think about it.

Put the gun down. There's a good fellow. You're covered.

Yeah, I've heard that in all those old movies.

Well, he's right, old buddy.

Mace.

Hello, laughing boy.

You're still alive.

Been kicking, though, buddy.

The VC didn't get you? Got away?

Yeah, that wasn't for the lack of trying.

They've been telling me that Sinjin's dead.

He's not, is he?

Why ask me, buddy boy?

I'm the one you left behind on that last trip, remember?

He left us! He ran out and left us!

He had to come.

Now, Mace, pull it together, will you?

You saw the ropes were full on the rescue chopper.

Come on.

We've got to find some kind of cover.

Let's go.

I came back. I never left anybody behind.

You both were gone.

Yeah, it looked that way.

But we managed to scrape through that one.

So why'd you stay dead?

All that nice white powder coming out of the Golden Triangle.

Everybody making money but me.

What about Stenjin?

He's here, isn't he?

Is he part of this operation?

Is he?

Just tell me where the hell he is mace

Finish

it come on. You said he deserted you

Come on, pick it up! They're coming over the hill!

Sniper!

That's another one I owe ya.

All right, cut the romance.

We gotta get out of here.

Just dump him somewhere in the desert.

He can't touch us now.

Yeah, I'd appreciate it.

This is a tough place to break down.

It's a long walk to the nearest station.

Where'd you leave your car?

Hey!

What's the matter?

What happened to you?

What happened to you?

No, I...

Hey, it's a long story.

Come on, I gotta get you to a hospital.

Can you just, please, get me to a telephone?

Okay, come on.

Thank you.

Anytime. You're sure you don't want to lift into town?

No, thank you.

Yeah, operator.

I'd like Santini Air Services.

Municipal airport.

Thank you.

Red Rock Flats, you ever heard of it?

He's southeast of Mineral Wells. I'll give you the exact location in two

seconds.

You can supply all these items in quantity.

When I make a commitment, I always follow through, old boy.

What type of weapon is this?

M72A. 66 millimeter.

Anti-tank.

We ready for the main feature?

All ready.

Gentlemen.

Nothing can touch HX1 this side of Satan's 12 Valkyries. We should probably

make the levers out of them, too.

You're just a salesman, Dunker.

How can we be certain she'll perform as promised?

Give us a shot.

I want Sinjin.

If you got out, so did he.

Where is he?

What's happening?

Gentlemen, you're about to see a demonstration of HX-1's air-to-air

capabilities against the U.S. government's finest.

Mace, I know you can hear me. Answer me.

Okay, buddy boy.

I'll tell you this.

I do know what happened to your brother.

You just hold on.

Hold on?

For what? Where is he?

Where is he, Mace?

Mace, listen to me. You got trouble.

I'll help you out of it, I swear I will.

There's your answer, String.

He knows where Sinjin is.

Mace, please!

String, fire back!

Here you go, Hawk.

Here's the answer you've been waiting for. Ready or not.

String! He's gonna blow us out of the sky!

He's hit!

He's hit, man!

It'll be okay as soon as I blow out this smoke.

Yeah.

All right.

What I'm

trying to say is that there's the past, and there's the future, and then there's

today.

You understand?

And then there's the good times, and... Dom, I'm all right.

I'm not going to stop looking for Sinjin, but I'm okay.

Oh, what the hell? What I'm trying to say is... Oh, Mr. Santini, would you

shut up, please? Is that there's no way to say we know how you feel. So don't.

Hawk, you want to know the truth.

Don't. Good, because I'm going to tell you. Now, a piece of your life is gone,

and you didn't find your brother, but someday you will.

caitlin it's okay to feel badly but just don't do it for too long okay

okay okay okay then let's get back to work i

gotta pay the bills you know oh you owe me a bill what bill you know that fifty

dollars you bet me i wouldn't change my hair fifty dollars i said that i never
