During the night, Tess is walking along a boat as she is followed by two men. Tess jumps into the water and then starts to struggle and sinks under the water. The next morning, Tess is brought to shore by a rubber boat and is met by Michael Coldsmith Briggs III, Archangel and Vivian. Both Hawke and Dominic are also on the beach and Hawke and Tess have surprised looks on their faces when they recognize each other. Dominic asks who Tess is and when he finds out she is married to Cullen he tells her he did flying for Cullen, but was never paid for it. Archangel tells Hawke that a congressional committee has been formed to hear testimony from Tess. He continues that Hawke and Dominic's mission is to fly Tess to an undisclosed location whose coordinates will be sent to Airwolf's onboard computer. Vivian then gives Tess a suitcase full of clothes. On their flight, Dominic tells Hawke where they are located at and then tells him when two helicopters start chasing them and firing at them. They shoot down the two helicopters and Hawke demands to know from Tess what is going on. She tells them she knows people who are part of a conspiracy to assassinate key politicians around the world. Tess starts to have a panic attack and tells Hawke and Dominic she can't trust anyone, even them. Two jets start chasing Airwolf and one of them manages to hit Airwolf with a rocket. Airwolf appears to crash and as the jets pass over the crash site, Hawke shoots them both down with a surface to air missile. On the ground, Hawke walks over to Tess and she apologizes for thinking he may have been on Cullen's side.

A helicopter rises above the horizon and starts shooting at Tess and a group of motorcycle riders ride up and join in the attacks. Dominic gets Airwolf into the air and shoots the motorcycle riders dead and then chases after the helicopter. Tess runs away and is chased by a red truck full of men. Hawke grabs one of the motorcycles and chases after the truck. Tess flags down a semi driver and gets inside of his truck. The riders in the truck start to shoot at the semi. The semi driver is shot dead. Tess takes control of the semi and Hawke manages to jump inside the semi and takes over driving and Dominic blows up the truck and the men riding in it. Tess starts to have pains and Hawke realizes she is pregnant. She apologizes for aborting their baby and tells him they were too young and tells Hawke the baby isn't Cullen's but the child of an Arab prince dignitary. Tess tells Dominic after the heads of state are assassinated, the plan is for the criminal committee to take over the banking committee for the world. Archangel and Vivian arrive at the meeting at about the same time as Airwolf lands. As everyone is walking to the meeting, Hawke senses something is wrong and as Vivian is about to shoot Tess, he shoots her first. Tess testifies in front of Committee Chairperson, Kase and the rest of the committee. Kase shoots and kills himself in front of the committee as Tess gives her testimony.
