Day of Jeopardy

First aired Saturday, January 25, 1986

Synopsis

Hawke protects an old flame set to testify against her husband's assassination plot.

Episode recap

An old flame of Hawke's is set to testify about an assassination plot — her husband's — and staying alive until the courtroom becomes a full-time occupation. "Day of Jeopardy" gives the series a protection thriller with history in the cockpit: Hawke guarding a woman he once loved, against a man she once married, with the calendar itself as the enemy. Every safehouse is temporary, every road is exposed, and the Lady can't hover over a witness stand. The episode plays the days like a countdown and lets old feelings complicate professional distance — a combination Hawke has never once handled cleanly.
