A short time later, he gets access to the fortress in which the scientist and hundreds of political prisoners are imprisoned. He familiarizes himself with the facilities and works out an exemption plan.
According to Morgan's plan, Kim is supposed to be waiting at an airfield with a CIA plane. He penetrates the fortress, frees the scientist and the other prisoners. Morgan and the scientist escape the dictator's approaching soldiers. At the airport, Morgan meets his old war comrade Sal Dekker, who has in truth stolen the 40 million and betrayed Morgan so that he would be convicted of the theft and is now threatening Kim with a gun. Morgan can get Dekker to admit his guilt in front of Kim and then kill him. On board the plane, Morgan confesses to the freed Kim that he has fallen in love with her. Together they want to bring the scientist back and then look for the missing money to clear Morgan's name.
