The
Stone Perfs are gathered in a quarry, unaware that they have been lured into a
trap by Lotus Newmark; Hawkeye and Mockingbird are watching from above,
expecting the vigilante killer Terminizer to attack. When he doesn’t show, the
two Avengers go into action. Mounted on the Sky-Cycle, Hawkeye fires several of
his trick arrows to terrorize and scatter the gang. Then a black helicopter
appears and drops incendiary bombs on the Perfs, killing them all. Hawkeye
follows the copter on the Sky-Cycle; Mockingbird leaps aboard the copter and
fights the bad guys, jumping back to the Cycle as the copter heads down to a
fiery crash. After they leave, Prince Charming, ex-Perf and minion of Lotus
Newmark, emerges from hiding and paints a large Circle T on the ground nearby,
symbol of the Terminizer, and disgusted with himself for betraying all of his
friends….
That
night, Clint is still upset over the carnage; the more cynical Bobbi comforts
him, pointing out that a vigilante like the Terminizer doesn’t seem likely to
have a helicopter, henchmen, and napalm….
Prince
reports back to Lotus who explains about the cost of business, as she doesn’t
care about the loss of a helicopter and henchmen. She seduces Price into
forgetting about his betrayal of his friends in the Stone Perfs….
Bobbi
advises a brooding Clint to concentrate on the one thing that worked to give
him hope….
Auggie
Slater takes Prince to a secret lab to show him that Lotus is preparing a
synthetic drug to take the place of cocaine in the streets….
Anita
Gutierrez is checking out of the hospital; Hawkeye stops by to give Luis the
ride on the Sky-Cycle he promised. On the way, Hawkeye informs the boy that the
Stone Perfs are all dead. It’s not clear whether the Terminizer is involved but
Hawkeye is determined to bring him to justice; Luis looks worried….

Synopsis:
There is a standoff in the church: U.S. Agent versus Officer Fred Bouting over
Father Grass and a wounded Mexican girl. Bouting fires, toppling the huge cross
onto the pews. The Agent and Bouting fight brutally with the Agent subduing his
foe. Then Father Grass tells him that the girl may be alive under the rubble.
U.S. Agent lifts the giant cross onto his back so the priest can pull her out
when the revived Bouting points his gun at U.S. Agent—and then Captain Hitchuck
guns the rogue cop down. They take the girl to the hospital but they know they have
only stopped this killer, more will come along….
