Notes

add »
Absolutely nothing is blown up by Airwolf, or any other aircraft in this episode. (edit)
This is the only episode of the original three seasons that Hawke does not pilot Airwolf in. Dominic is seen to pilot The Lady, while Hawke is seen at the controls of another chopper as they try to free the hostages from the seige. (edit)

Quotes

add »
J.J: You gotta do me a favor. You remember that pact we made in the bar, you and me?
Robert: Yeah.
J.J: I can't do it.
Robert: J.J., you promised.
J.J: I know I promised. Look, I've been thinking about it, you know, and I can't do it. You gotta do it for me, Bobby.
Robert: (nervously walks away) I can't do that.
J.J: Look, Bobby, Bobby! I can't go to prison. I can't make it on the inside, and you know it!
Robert: I made it.
J.J: No, but I'm not as tough as you are. I never was. You gotta promise me right now, if it looks like we're gonna get caught, if we're not gonna get out of this thing.....Bobby, you gotta kill me.
Robert: (long pause) What are brothers for? (edit)
(Robert just upheld his end of the pact with his brother, killing him before being arrested)
Robert: He's my brother... (faintly) my brother. He'd never make it in prison. You understand?
String: Yeah, I understand. He's your brother. (edit)

Trivia

add »
GOOF: When Caitlin is set in front of the door by a hostage taker, she isn't wearing earrings. When the scene flips from Hawke back to Caitlin, she mysteriously has earrings on to send her Morse code message. (edit)
