Background

Charmaine "Chin Mou" Beaucaire is a French ex patriot living in Thailand.


During the events of Airwolf: Season 2 Episode 10 Once a Hero played by Cathie Shirriff

In Bangkok, Thailand, Charmaine walks up to a restaurant table and kisses Stringfellow Hawke and Hawke introduces "Chin Mou" to Dominic, Kearns and Gary Wallace. Hawke, Dominic, Gary and Charmaine start removing the lids of the crates holding their supplies. Kearns arrives and they remove their weapons and Hawke tells everyone thanks. There is a knock on the door and Kearns and Gary hurry and get the weapons loaded onto the truck while Charmaine stalls the Government Official at the door. Charmaine opens the door and the Government Official walks in with two military personnel. The Government Official asks what they are transporting and then comments on their truck. Kearns starts the truck and Hawke punches The Government Official when he tries to stop Kearns. The others get into the truck and drive off as the government personnel shoot at them. They park the vehicle in the jungle and cover it with brush. Hawke, Charmaine, Gary and Kearns walk through the jungle, while Dominic flies overhead in Airwolf. They find some punji sticks in the ground and Hawke notices Bandit Leader pointing a rifle at them. They are then surrounded by other bandits and taken hostage. They are brought before the Bandit King and made to kneel. The Bandit King asks if they are mercenaries and Hawke jokes and says they are combat Archaeologists. The Bandit King insults Charmaine and Hawke threatens that if the Bandit King doesn't show better hospitality, he won't do business with him. Hawke offers to pay the Bandit King for knowledge on where any American POW's are and then shows the Bandit King some money. As Hawke goes to give the Bandit King some money, he puts a knife to his throat and takes him hostage. They put the Bandit King in a jeep and drive off. They then push him off into the river and continue to drive away. At night in camp they make a toast to Saint John and Dominic walks up. The next day before they enter the camp, Gary hesitates until Hawke calls his name. They sneak into the camp and then into the prisoner barracks, but only find Laotians in it. Gary wants to leave, but Hawke insists they let the Laotian prisoners out. Gary starts panicking and has a flashback to when he was a prisoner in Vietnam. He admits to Kearns that he told the Vietnamese guards about the escape tunnel Kearns had dug while they were both prisoners. Gary tells Kearns, he thought by coming on the mission to save Saint John, he could make up for betraying Kearns. Kearns points his rifle towards Gary and fires it, killing a guard that was walking in, but also alerting the camp. Hawke and the others are pinned down and he calls Dominic on the radio for air support. Charmaine points out to Hawke that the guards are pulling a different group of prisoners out and putting them into a truck. Dominic arrives in Airwolf and starts killing the guards. Hawke and the others lead the Laotian prisoners into the jeep and then Kearns, Charmain and Gary drive off. The truck with Kearns and the others comes under machine gun nest fire and they take cover. Gary charges at the machine gun nest and is shot. He then pulls the pin of a grenade and charges at the machine gun nest when they reload and blows himself and it up. Kearns and Charmaine arrive in the jeep and Hawke tells them Saint John wasn't in the truck. A jet starts firing at them and they transfer the American prisoners into the jeep with the Laotians. Hawke get into Airwolf while Kearns and Charmaine park the jeep in the jungle.
