Douglas hunts them down and kills them–only to learn that they were not the ones who killed his wife. Douglas has learned a lesson and questions whether his act of private lynching is any better than that of murder.

Lawrence's seat partner on the plane is Peace Corps worker Tom Tuttle (John Candy). They meet and become friends. Their mission in Thailand is to build a bridge for the local villagers, but opposing forces–the local Communists, an opium warlord, and the CIA–have their own unique plans for the bridge.
