Plot

A mercenary, Peter MacGregor Moore tells Stringfellow that he has news of his brother Saint John After meeting him, Hawke loses consciousness and appears to crash his helicopter. When he comes to in a hospital, the medical staff tell him he has been in a coma for a year. In the meantime Saint John has been rescued from a POW camp but Dominic and Archangel both died in the raid to free him. Thinking he now has what he wants, Hawke reveals Airwolf's location to F.I.R.M. representatives. Meanwhile, Susan Hill, a nurse, gets suspicious about the strange goings on in the "private floor" in her hospital. She helps Hawke escape and together they discover it has all been an elaborate ruse but it seems to late as Hawke has already given away Airwolf's secret. It is now up to Dominic and Archangel to come to the rescue--if they can work together.

Research notes

• At one point, inside the C-130, Hawke calls Else Manheim "Freida". He doesn't know her real name so Freida might have been the first name of her Nurse Simmons persona.
• Hawke knows Moore as "Peter" but Marella mentions him as "Patrick" to Dominic. Not like her to make these mistakes!

Gallery

Michael Halsey as Peter MacGregor Moore. He tells Hawke that he has news of his brother Saint John. In reality he is setting a trap.

East German spy Else Manheim in her persona as Nurse Simmons. The man she is with has plenty of action but doesn't seem to be credited.

Another East German spy, Klaus Keitel. He tells Hawke he has been in a coma for one year.

Eric Mass (Robert Hogan). He appears to be the leader of the gang. He adopts the persona of Martin Abrams, a F.I.R.M. director, in order to extract the location of Airwolf from Hawke.

Christopher Connelly. In other episodes he plays the real Saint John. Here he plays an imposter who looks like Saint John, at least to Hawke's drugged mind.

Anatasia Zarcov adopts the persona of Dr. Lisa Holgate, a "shrink". In reality she is a Russian expert in the use of behavior modifying drugs.

Nurse Susan Hill stumbles upon the strange goings on and helps Hawke escape.

This is the best view of the two anchors (Fred Holliday and Rebecca Clemons), putting up a fake news show for Hawke's benefit.

There is a credit for a "Charlene" played by Sally Hampton. This woman next to Archangel is part of the FIRM investigation team at the crash site. She has one or two lines, so she could be Charlene.

There are two credits for a man and woman in white coats (Bobbie Bates and Jerome Anson Blackwell). These could be them. Compare the view of Blackwell with his character in Inn at the End of the Road (episode).
