Senders, Joaquin and Morales approach Terry Haines and Gentry. Senders tells Terry that Gentry, who is constantly coughing, is going to get them all sick and needs to be killed. Captain Mendez walks up to the group and Senders and his friends walk away. Terry tells Mendez he wants Senders kept away from him and Gentry and Mendez tells Terry not to give him orders. Terry asks to speak to Comandancia Garcia and Mendez taps Terry in the stomach with his metal baton and tells him that he is in charge of the prison. Terry then bribes Mendez to leave him and Gentry alone. After Stringfellow Hawke's visit, Terry tells Gentry about the plan to escape and Senders and his friends walk up to Terry and Senders tells Terry that Gentry needs to die and Terry tries to bribe him. Senders then threatens to kill Terry too if he doesn't murder Gentry that night in bed. Senders doesn't believe Terry can do it and tells Morales to kill Gentry. Hawke and Dominic land Airwolf in the prison yard and are swarmed by prisoners, but Terry is not where he is supposed to be. Hawke gets out and is captured and yells to Dominic to fly away.

Hawke is thrown into a cell with Terry and Gentry and refuses to speak with Terry when Terry tries to speak with him. Mendez tells Hawke that if he doesn't tell him who he is by the time Garcia returns, then he, Terry and Gentry will be killed. Terry tells Hawke how Gentry helped him learn how to survive in prison, as Hawke rips the copper wiring from a fan. Mendez notices extra wiring on the front gate and Gentry grabs him and yells he is dying. Hawke offers Paco a candy bar and as Paco sticks his hand in the gate, he touches the side of the metal, electrocuting himself. Hawke takes Paco's gun and shoots Mendez in the shoulder while Gentry takes Paco's keys and unlocks the gate. Dominic arrives in Airwolf and starts shooting at the prison while Hawke, Terry and Gentry steal a truck and drive out of the prison. Hawke drives towards a helicopter that Caitlin O'Shannessy is flying and Eleanor is in and they all get in and fly off. Back at Santini Air, Eleanor tells Terry it is time to go, but Terry insists he go with Hawke to fly Gentry back to Texas.
