Stella and two men approach Dominic and Stringfellow Hawke in a bar and she points a weapon at them. She takes them to Ivan Rivera's house and Dominic tells Ivan he was double crossed. Dominic walks away and Stella shows Hawke a folder of information on the two prisoners Dominic was supposed to save, including her father. When Hawke asks if any of the gangs knew about the money, Ivan admits to him and Stella that he borrowed money from Sanchez. After Hawke and Dominic return with a promise of having the three million dollars needed to free the prisoners, Stella calls Colonel Fernandez and schedules another meeting. She tells Hawke and Dominic that only Cubans will be involved this time, but Hawke insists Dominic go. Dominic and Stella fly the money to Cuba, but after they give it to Colonel Fernandez, he decides to double cross them. They are saved by Hawke who arrives in Airwolf, and he escorts them back to Florida after shooting down a helicopter with Sanchez in it and three MiG jets.
