At the Condor Squadron 135, Dominic pins up his jacket from World War II and tells Stringfellow Hawke and Caitlin O'Shannessy stories about his time in the war. Lia walks up to them and jokingly gives Dominic a hard time about telling old war stories. Art walks in and grabs Lia and tells her they need to talk. Hawke sees Art pushing Lia around and confronts him. As Art is about to fight Hawke, Bartender grabs him and tells him to leave. Caitlin invites Lia to sit with them. Lia calls Santini Air and asks Hawke for help. Hawke goes to her apartment and she tells him Art helped get her out of Vietnam and afterwards tracked her down. She tells him Art changed and she tried to break it off with him, but he has made her life miserable ever since. He calls Caitlin to see if she can stay at her place for a short while and while they are talking, a group of masked men run into the Santini Air hangar and kidnap Caitlin and Dominic. Lia is walking Tet when Michael Coldsmith Briggs III, Archangel leaves with the others. She comes inside and sees Hawke re-watching the video the kidnappers sent. Tran congratulates Dao Van Lat on his work and Dao notices Lia seems sad. Tran confronts her and she tells him she saw the same fear in Jimmy Oshiro's daughter's eyes as she had when their village was slaughtered. Tran has Lia call Hawke and she tells him she knows someone who may be able to help. She takes Hawke to an alley to meet with the person she said had information and they are confronted by Dao and some men. They attack Hawke, but he manages to knock them away and tells them to stop. Afterwards he tells Lia he thinks she might be in on it. Tran walks into the alley and mentions Village 108 and then walks away. Hawke tells Lia he was scheduled to go on a mission code named 108, but asked to interrogate a prisoner who may known the whereabouts of Saint John and was taken off the mission. Lia tells Tran they can't go through with killing the innocent children and Tran reminds her what happened to their families. Tran accuses Lia of falling for Hawke and she tells Tran, he is the only man she ever loved and begs him not to go through with it, and he agrees. She is killed and a Detective takes notes as Lia's body is taken away.
