After Hatchett is busted, he is thrown in jail. There, he is escorted to prison handcuffed to Raymond Villard (Gérard Ismaël), a French inmate in jail for smuggling diamonds. The two are thrown on the prison bus when Villard's partner in crime, Dubray (Frank Bruynbroek), follows out plans to free Villard by blowing up the bus. The escape plan works and Hatchett, Villard and Dubray escape the fire and the police by boarding an awaiting helicopter. While on the helicopter, Hatchett overhears the location of the stashed diamonds. Hatchett then jumps out of the helicopter after hearing the discussion between Villard and Dubray to get rid of him. Now Hatchett's name and face are all over the news as an accessory to the prison break. Hatchett has to clear his name but he needs help. He calls on the only person who can help, the one that dimed him out, James Russell.
