During the events of Airwolf: Season 3 Episode 1 The Horn of Plenty played by Richard Lynch

A Lab Technician monotonously gives directions to Harry. Dr. Gastner tells Harry, Horn saved his life, while Dr. Fairling tells Harry, he owes Horn. Harry stands up and Horn asks him how he feels. Harry says he will do whatever Horn wants him to do and Horn has Harry shoot himself in the head. Horn then says the next subject will be Stringfellow Hawke. At Dominic Air, a limo pulls up and "Mr. Van Dorian" steps out of the limo with Angelica in order for Hawke to fly him to Scottsdale, Arizona. Hawke wonders why he chartered him for three days when the flight only takes three hours and "Mr. Van Dorian" tells him he needs Hawke to fly a briefcase full of special gems to a buyer. "Mr. Van Dorian", who is already at the hotel pulls off his makeup to reveal he is Horn in disguise. As Hawke and Angelica are getting into an elevator to return to their rooms, Horn disguised as "Neal Streep", tells Angelica the buyer now wants the gems delivered to him in the Palo Duro, Texas area. They fly to Texas and as Hawke and Angelica get out of the helicopter, Horn welcomes Hawke, who is then ambushed by a group of armed men who take him captive. Hawke is placed in a chair with his eyes taped open and shown a video of Horn's face floating around, while Lab Technician, Dr. Fairling and Dr. Gastner repeat the same phrases they told Harry. Later, Dr. Gastner and Dr. Fairling take Hawke to a room full of men in suits, including TJ, with a large painting of Horn hanging from the wall. Horn asks Hawke if he knows who the man in the painting is and Hawke tells him he does and he owes him his allegiance. Angelica asks Hawke how he feels about her and how she deceived him and she tells him he owes her many thanks for bringing him to see Horn. Horn, still disguised as "Neal" removes his disguise and reveals himself to Hawke and says he needs Hawke's help. He has sent a ransom tape ordering Dominic to bring him Airwolf. Airwolf lands and Dominic gets out. Hawke shoots and seemingly kills Dominic and Airwolf is brought to the kidnappers base. Horn argues with Angelica, who has grown to like Hawke. Horn admits to her he is worried that she might help Hawke and Angelica tells him she would never betray him. Dr. Fairling tells Horn it won't be until morning until Dominic wakes up from the sleep pellets he was shot with in Hawke's gun and Horn tells her he wants Dominic brainwashed as soon as he wakes up. Later, Hawke is brought to Horn by Dr. Fairling and Dr. Gastner. Horn tells Hawke his plan is to take over a country in the Caribbean called Moro, for men like him who believe intelligence makes right. Horn tells him his mission is to destroy a rebel outpost on the island and then radio back. TJ gives Hawke a map with a rendezvous location. In the morning Hawke takes off in Airwolf but attacks Horn's base instead. TJ picks up Horn and Angelica in a car and they drive away and Horn and Angelica escape.
