The Six Million Dollar Man - Season 1 Edit

A man barely alive.

A ransom note. Or two.

A shame I won't be able to congratulate him.

About a year.

Afraid to send anybody in there.

After they wasted ten years of my life.

Ah, yes, Colonel.

All Mind, (It

Alright, it is the truth.

Alright.

Alright. I only work here.

Alright. I'll stand by.

And feed directly off the grid.

And for the cherry on top, you, Mr. Austin.

And I know something about what's current in medical research.

And I want an hourly report on weather and winds.

And it hit me in the ears first.

And Oscar only shows up when there is big trouble.

And so am I.

And then what?

And then?

And underneath that shell of red tape...

And...?

ANNOUNCER: Steve Austin. Astronaut.

Anyone check the ozone count?

Anything?

Anyway to get through?

Armada u. nun nun

As you can see, there's been no movement in the town at all.

B 52 PILOT: Correction. Alpha Hold is off. Threat selector is emergency.

B 52 PILOT: Inboard and outboards are on.

B 52 PILOT: Landing Rocket Arm switch is on. Here comes the throttle.

B 52 PILOT: Roger.

BACON: "We will pick another town and use our full capacity.

Barney

Barney, something terrible has happened here.

Barney, stay away from here!

Barney, this is Paul again.

BARNEY: 10 4.

BARNEY: Paul, come in.

BARNEY: Paul, what're you talking about?

BARNEY: Roger, Paul. Standing by.

BARNEY: What're you talking about?

BCS Arm switch is on.

Be talking to you.

Before you see the general, I think I'd better explain something.

Besides, I've got another assignment for you. If I need you, I'll let you know.

Better, stronger, faster.

Bionic limbs deteriorate at sub zero extremes.

But he can still do to another town what he did here!

But I am a government doctor with top secret clearance.

But if things go right, well, we won't be back.

But if you've bought off the right people...

But may I respectfully ask you to please hurry?

But there's one problem: there's no money either.

But we need some more information.

But we've only got nine hours left to act. Yes.

But would you mind telling me how you did it?

But you didn't hear anything?

By air. It was negative.

Bye

Call me Chris.

Call me Steve. Better radio procedure.

Can do, but

Can you imagine an operations manual for a man?

Can't kill anyone.

Can't make it out.

Can't they tell us anything?

Can't you tell me?

Cause the man who's taking charge is an old acquaintance of mine.

Chief Project Officer was Dr. Stanley Bacon.

Chris, I'm identifying one of the bodies.

Chris, I've found someone alive.

Chris, stand by. I wanna check something.

Chris, this is Steve.

Circuit breakers in.

Computer readout indicates ultra high frequency alpha waves...

Cones converged on target.

Cover your ears!

Cover your ears!

Crouch down like I'm doing.

Did what?

Did you get filled in?

Did you make a Geiger sweep?

Do you realize that for one sixth of your cost...

Do you remember Phil Haley? Fat kid with a bewildered look?

Doc, thanks for everything.

Does it have anything to do with bionics and Dr. Rudy Wells?

Does that seem odd to you?

Don't treat me like a twelve year old, Mr. Austin.

Don't turn it on the town.

DR. BACON: A gun. A shotgun.

DR. BACON: How he had to fight the red tape.

DR. BACON: Pulse on one side only?

Dr. Bacon...

Dr. FORBES: Get some rest.

DR. FORBES: Something shiny up there under the high tension wires.

DR. FORBES: These are all pictures taken from a helicopter at half hour intervals.

Dr. Forbes?

Dr. Forbes?

Eight hours.

Everything okay so far.

Excuse me, sir.

Experimental weapon design for infantrymen with battery pack.

Extend the cones.

Far enough.

Fatality could result."

Federal agents arrested Johnson at the power station.

Federal Agents will take over from here.

Fine, Oscar, you do that.

Fine. I'll set it up.

FLIGHT COM: It's looks good at NASA One.

FLIGHT COM: Looks good.

FLIGHT COM: Okay, Victor...

Focus full! Get him!

Forget the ropes. They'd never hold him. Would they?

Frank, hand me the Geiger counter off that bench.

Full voltage.

General Tate's expecting you, sir.

General, I wan an armored car here by seven in the morning.

General? Steve Austin.

Gentlemen, because you are officials of the town and various utilities...

Gentlemen, let's tie into the power.

Get me the local station.

Get the ropes, Frank.

Go ahead.

Goldman must be very proud.

Goldman says under no circumstances does he go in there alone.

Goldman sent you here to stall.

Good for him.

Good morning.

Good.

Got five kids to boot.

Had a population of 23.

Have you known him long?

Have your communications boys rig up a transponder.

Haven't heard much about you since you walked on the moon.

He built his cyborg after all.

He can't feed enough power into it for that.

He didn't have time for a drink.

He runs a big foodcompany in Seattle now.

He seems to pull a lot of weight around here.

He should be by now.

He thinks so.

He wouldn't remember me.

He's even got a heart.

He's lived in this town a long time.

He's on his way.

He's stalling because he thinks I can't pull it off.

He's there.

Headquarters is three miles up.

Hello. Yes, Oscar?

Here we go.

Hey, Oscar.

Hey, Steve!

Hey, what do you say we start this conversation over?

Hey, you fellas are new at the base, huh?

Hi, Steve.

His name is Taylor. Joe Taylor.

Hollister, get the van ready to roll.

Hollister, turn the freezer down to 20 below.

Hollister, you hit him too hard. There's no pulse.

How can you be sure?

How do you do, Colonel?

How do you tell a man who saved your life that he disobeyed an order?

How does he know that?

How fast can you run? 35? 40?

How long ago?

How many volts are you talking about?

How much did you cost?

I agree with you.

I am he.

I brought an old friend of yours here to ask you some questions.

I couldn't see him. I

I did.

I didn't order anything from NASA.

I don't know!

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't think so.

I eat a lot of jumping beans.

I figure if you ever run out of things for me to do...

I figured you out all by myself.

I gotta move.

I have to destroy government property.

I like Oscar. He bright, he's straight.

I like the readout.

I looked around, talked to the dispatcher.

I think the best one for that would be the medical officer in charge, Dr. Forbes.

I think we have a mutual acquaintance. Oscar Goldman.

I think you've given them some second thoughts about that.

I told you, they don't think it will happen.

I took it off when I bent over the postman.

I try to remember old friends, Joe.

I was better than before, okay?

I was driving. That's all. The car was running fine.

I was fine. I drove into town...

I was wondering if I could speak to your commanding officer.

I will reduce you to a six million dollar pile of ,junk.

I'll be seeing you.

I'll check with you later, Barney.

I'll do a radio check as soon as I'm on the other side of that little hill.

I'll get my security force, and we'll stand on full alert.

I'll open a machine shop.

I'm I'm taking some packages over to

I'm at my store.

I'm comin' forward with the side stick.

I'm Dr. Bacon.

I'm entering Norris at this time.

I'm glad this problem's reached such a high level.

I'm glad to help, sir.

I'm going in.

I'm just wondering. That civilian I've seen.

I'm late. I gotta catch a plane to Washington.

I'm not sure. Fella named Oscar Goldman's his boss.

I'm sorry, sir. No vehicles are permitted beyond this point.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I can't remember.

I've been thinking about narcosynthesis.

I've got a feeling Dr. Bacon is in our neck of the woods.

I've got the town in sight. Nothing's changed.

I've hit 60.

If anything should go wrong, I can trade you for us.

If he's all you say he is, he'll bust out of there.

If I hit you or anything, no hard feelings.

Imagine! This man has two bionic legs...

In order to make them understand...

In this case: a battalion of the army...

Incredible.

Injection. Taking a patient back in time past the mental block.

Is 8,000 volts enough?

Is he in Norris by any chance?

Is he your boss?

Is the story out yet?

It couldn't be.

It feels just peachy, Doctor.

It should. You know this town. Pick me a stable personality.

It's a roll bar from a dune buggy.

It's Austin!

It's just a hunch, but it's something we can check out.

It's okay, Joe.

Joe Taylor's a tough old bird.

Joe, it's been good seeing you.

Joe, listen, I'll show you how to stop the pain.

JOE: No! No, no!

Johnson, things are going our way.

Johnson: Rover One, This is Johnson.

Jumped across the room like that?

Just had a talk with the man.

Just lock down the collar.

Just take it easy, huh? Take it easy.

Keep trying, huh?

Ken Williams? Oh, he moved away a long time ago.

Last person that went in didn't come out, and we don't know why.

Listen, you stand by. I'm gonna take a look.

Little late for that, isn't it?

Look, Chris, try and understand.

Look, give me a phone. Let me talk to him.

Look, I don't mean to pry...

Look, I had an accident a little while ago.

Look, there's no weapons and no tricks and no one following.

Look, you better listen if you don't want to blow it.

Looks like my hunch was right.

Looks like they're all dead.

Looks like?

Major, I want this put on the wire immediately...

MAJOR: Some lunatic is buzzing the compound!

MAJOR: What is this? Somebody get his number!

Man and Woman work hard together in dangerous situation.

Man is figure of great mystery and fascination.

MAN OUTSIDE: We're tied in!

Man saves Woman's life.

Manna duping; rum.

Maybe we can get something done, Doctor.

Maybe we got a little daylight at last.

Move.

Mr. Austin?

Mr. Goldman tells me that you're his good right arm.

Mr. Goldman, teletype's coming in.

Mrs. Nelson. I'm sorry to put you through this.

Mrs. Nelson. Mrs. Nelson.

My car or yours?

My head. My temples.

My medical curiosity.

My name is Barnes.

Next time, Steve, will you pick up the phone first?

Nine hours.

Niner one zero. Come in, please.

Ninety eight...

Ninety nine...

Ninety seven ...

Ninety...

No comment.

No further questions.

No good!

No hard feelings.

No kidding? ( LAUGHS )

No, that's not fair.

No, they're not.

No, we'd have to throw the grid connecting switch ourselves.

No.

Nobody wants to live in a small town anymore.

Nope, I don't have any questions.

Norris? I went to high school 20 miles from there.

Not a thing.

Not here? Where is he?

Not yet. They're trying, but so far they haven't been much help.

Nothing.

Now I order you to stay out of this. Is that clear?

Now I'm gonna catch a plane, I'll be there in the morning.

Now I'm gonna take all this data you sent us and put it through the computer bank...

Now let's see what the establishment does about it.

Now, isn't that the truth?

Nun mam!!!

Of course not.

Oh, Colonel Austin.

Oh, I don't know.

Oh, I grant you, it's not portable...

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Oh, no, sir. There's no way that could come through here without our knowing it.

Oh, Peanuts? He was killed in Vietnam.

Oh, Steve Austin?

Oh, the pain! Ow!

Oh, this and that.

Oh, yes sir.

Oh! Ow!

Oh! Somebody stop the pain!

Oh? Which one?

Oh. That's the end of your curiosity?

Okay, I'll read it to you again.

Okay, if you don't ask a lot of questions.

Okay, Oscar. I did it my own way.

Okay.

One bionic arm, and a bionic eye, all atomic powered.

One of the first ones.

Oscar Goldman had a pet project.

Oscar Goldman has a reputation for getting things done.

Oscar Goldman.

Oscar Goldman. I've heard of him.

Oscar, I know those people.

OSCAR: Hi, Steve.

OSCAR: Steve, it's negative.

OSCAR: Yes, sir. Yes. Yes, I know that $10 million is a lot of money.

Oscar.

Our meeting is off.

Our message has been delivered.

Oxygen, Mr. Austin.

Paul, what's happening?

PAUL: The whole town! They're dead!

People are going to die.

PILOT: Ah, Roger.

Please be patient. Thank you.

Please, don't do that.

Power off.

Power Plant, Johnson.

Project abandoned three years ago. Unable to solve power problems.

Rather stuffy in there, and suffocation might upset my timetable.

Report to the security tent for briefing.

Roger, Steve. We understand.

Roger. We're almost there.

Rover One, go ahead.

Run that through your computer.

Say, what ever happened to Peanuts Donnelly?

Says he has what we ordered.

Six

Six million.

SLOW HEARTBEAT )

SLOW HEARTBEAT )

Small town. Upstate.

So if you're smart, you better take me to him.

So what's our next move?

So wrapped up in their computers, they can't even think anymore.

So, I'm curious.

So?

SOLDIER: Blip is stationary, sir.

SOLDIER: Transponder's working, sir.

Some reflection or something.

Some V.l.P. from Washington just called.

Somebody help me!

Sometimes I get a little tight being the object of medical curiosity.

Son of a gun. It fits.

Spacesuit?

SR 71 PILOT: Get your pitch to zero.

Stand by.

Start the generator.

Stay away from this town!

Step in, please.

STEVE ( RADIO ): Chris, this is Steve.

Steve Au

Steve Austin.

Steve Austin. They said you wanted to see me.

Steve, for God's sake, what's happening?

Steve, how has it affected you?

Steve, I wish you wouldn't do this. Not until we've made more tests.

Steve, it's out of your hands.

Steve, what is it?

Steve, will you stay out of this, please?

STEVE: Flight Com. I can't hold it! She's breaking up! She's breaking

STEVE: I've got a blowout in damper three.

STEVE: Just after eight.

STEVE: Pitch is out. I can't hold altitude!

STEVE: We have separation.

STEVE: Why?

Steve?

Steve.

Steve...

Steve's famous now.

Stop the pain, or I'll kill ya! I'll kill ya!

Such as produced by government research project H 432.

Sun ammonium.

Sure, Oscar. That's perfectly clear.

TATE: Colonel Austin! Washington on the line.

TATE: Well, are they sending the money?

Thank you very much, Doctor. But I'd like to see Steve Austin, first.

Thank you, officer.

Thanks for saving my life...

That kid I used to play football with?

That lady doctor said, I...

That way you can follow me on radar.

That would have to come off the original power grid.

That's Austin.

That's beautiful.

That's precisely why I'm not going to kill you, Mr. Austin.

That's probably in your operation manual, right. Mr. Austin?

That's right, Joe. What's happening at your store?

That's right. Best protection there is.

That's the only way to guard this man.

That's the way it's been going.

That's what it felt like.

That's what the computer said three years ago.

That's when the pain started.

That's why Goldman's here. To negotiate.

The The eye, I suppose, is infrared...

The army's getting ready to leave...

The computer says you can't do it. You haven't got the power source.

The General has consented to a briefing in a few minutes.

The guy who wore this suit walked on the moon a couple of years ago.

The highway patrolman was only in the town for a minute before he collapsed.

The pain!

The pain. The terrible pain!

The town is in panic, the Army is shaken and so is the government.

The whole town, Barney! The whole town!

There's a truck from the Space Agency at the north road block.

There's Cord.

There's federal agents all over the place by now.

They could've had my weapon system perfected?

They didn't send it because they know all about Dr. Bacon and the rest of you.

They insist Dr. Bacon's device...

They located the armored car. No sign of Steve.

They really pulled it off.

They remember the pain, but the mind won't let them remember more.

They think they'll have Dr. Bacon in custody in 24 hours.

They won't authorize the money.

They would never care about just a town.

They're they're just laying all around me here.

They're alive.

They're all alive!

They're man made, officer. Man made.

They're standing by. Well?

They're willing to take that risk.

They've asked for a lesson, they're going to get it.

This is 9014 heading into Norris for a coffee break.

This is as far as we better go.

This is my man, Bob. My name is Hodges.

Too late for that.

Try, Mrs. Nelson.

Uh huh.

Uh, it seemed like suddenly...

Uh, Major, um...

Uh...

Uh...

Ultrasonic waves.

Ultrasonic? Where do they come from?

Um... somebody coming after me.

Wait, here it comes.

Want some company?

Washington wouldn't send the money. That's the truth.

We can make him better than he was.

We can rebuild him.

We go for the money.

We have the technology.

We ruled that out, Colonel Austin.

We're keeping it a secret. We've ordered the Army to seal off the town.

Well, do we have a shotgun?

Well, don't make it so long next time.

Well, gave you kind of a bad time when I was under that stuff.

Well, I have the power.

Well, I've got no choice. It's orders from Oscar.

Well, it's a detail that I suddenly remembered. My helmet.

Well, it's a spacesuit.

Well, it's on the suit.

Well, she's chairman of the entire 4H club in this state.

Well, this is the test.

Well, we could try it on, maybe we'll get lucky, huh?

Well, we're in pretty good shape.

What about the victims?

What about water pollution?

What about you?

What does it feel like?

What have you been up to?

What I saw you do today, no ordinary man can do.

What if they're wrong, Oscar? What if a town dies before they get him?

What is it?

What makes you think it was just medical?

What?

What're you doing? What is this?

What're you gonna do? Put me on K.P.?

What're you talking about?

What's happening?

What's the problem?

What's underneath your shell?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

When I took my helmet off, that's when the pain first took me.

When I was in Washington...

When they put me back together...

Where am I?

Where are the others?

Where?

Where's Austin?

Whereabouts unknown 18 months. Urgent search underway.

Who?

Why are they doing this to me?

Why!

Why? They did a full computer analysis.

With a 10 12 to 1 zoom?

Yeah, kinda new.

Yeah.

Yes, but I need some technical details.

Yes, he works for one of those super agencies in Washington.

Yes, I know.

Yes, I understand, Thompson.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. That's right. It may not be important.

Yes, sir. What can I do for you?

Yes, well that's what I have to explain. He's not here.

Yes. It was normal.

You bet, Mr. Goldman.

You better hurry.

You can reach me at Army headquarters in Norris.

You can tap into the local power station...

You don't.

You got to have a little more faith, Hodges.

You gotta be kidding me. These suits are customed designed.

You just stay on the other end of that line.

You know, I just ran that through my computer.

You know, I, uh I didn't catch your name.

You know. Well, if I

You mean, you're going in there with an empty armored car?

You remember Janey Fitzsimmons?

You see I read the same basic research that Oscar Goldman read.

You should last about an hour in there.

You stay here just in case.

You think it'll work?

You used to go steady.

You want us to sit around here and do nothing?

You were alright, before that?

You're doing just fine, Mr. Taylor.

You're early.

You're in town. It's early this morning.

You're killing me for nothing.

You're my ace in the hole.

You're too valuable for this job.

7,000?

20? They really went all out.

20.

60?

Expecting me? Yes, sir.

Gimme a hand with this helmet. How do I do it?

He's coming at us! Turn the cones.

I'm Dr. Forbes. How do you do?

Look, Bacon Catch.

Mr. Goldman? Yes, Doctor?

Mr. Goldman? Yes.

Officer Cord? Uh, yes.

What's the name of the town? A place called Norris.

Where is he? Right behind you.

Who's all this stuff for anyway? It's for me.

Why are you doing this to me? Joe

Your helmet? Yes, ma'am.

"And this time, there will be no survivors."

"Computer now indicates if minimum 7,000 volts available to weapon...

"If anyone follows him or comes within 10 miles of the drop site...

"The driver must be alone.

"Unless you deliver $10 million by 8 a.m. tomorrow morning..."

"we will use our weapon on another city."

"You have witnessed only half of what we can do.

"You will deliver the money in an armored car.
