It takes 8 years. On board the S-123 aircraft, prisoners are transported under guard to a new prison. Among them is early release Cameron Poe. UBN agent Duncan Malloy is about to send a federal agent to the plane to monitor the situation and give him a gun. Marshal Vince Larkin asks to give him a weapon, because nobody has weapons on the plane. Malloy fulfills his request, but then secretly passes the gun to the agent.
During the flight, the recidivist Cyrus Grissom (Sirus-Virus), together with his accomplices, hijacks a plane, killing the second pilot, doctor and several guards, then freeing the prisoners. He takes the gun from the killed pilot, but the agent sent by Malloy reveals himself and, in the end, dies. Baby-O needs insulin because he is diabetic , and Cameron promises to help. The virus makes the pilot say that everything is OK on board.

Cameron, meanwhile, by order of the Diamond Dog, throws Billiard's body, which is stuck in the chassis, and writes a message for Larkin on his clothes.

Syros's boss and accomplice, Francisco Cindino, throws offenders and is about to fly on his plane, but Larkin knocks him down with a crane.
