NARRATOR: Last week, on The Bionic Woman...

RUDY: Maximilian was our first bionic creature, (BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

He was the fastest animal alive.

JAIME: Was?

Well, why wasn't I told about him?

Are you guys hiding something from me?

For the past two weeks,

Max has taken a nosedive in every measurable way.

Rudy is afraid that Max is experiencing a new kind of bionic rejection.

I mean, he thinks this could happen to me, huh?

It can't be rejection.

If I... I“ could get him out there and show him how much fun bionics could be,

I know I could get him to use them.

The answer's no.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

JAIME: That's a boy, Max. Come on! We'll show them. Come on!

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

If you could've seen him running and jumping with me bionically...

How? Look at him! (MAX BARKING)

The bionic rejection is driving him crazy.

RUDY: I'm going to put Max away.

Well, what are you gonna do when I start to reject?

Are you gonna put me away, too?

RUDY: Where do you think she took him?

OSCAR: Ojai.

Don't make a bad boy scout, do I, Max?

JAIME: Hey, [don't know what made Max go crazy before, but he's fine now.

(GROWLING)

(WHIMPERING)

(BARKING)

JIM: Max!

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

JAIME: Max!

I'm sorry, Jaime. I've got to call the state police.

No.

Max! Come back! (BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

NARRATOR: And now, for the conclusion of The Bionic Dog

on The Bionic Woman.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

POLICE RADIO: All units, we have just received an APB from Ventura County,

Be on the look-out for a Jaime Sommers.

Female, blonde, late twenties.

Traveling with a German Shepherd dog.

Locate and refer information to the OS! on priority 6 basis.

However, if the dog attacks, shoot to kill.

Hi, Harry.

TRUCKER: Hey, lady. We're here.

Lady?

Here you are.

Oh.

Come on, Max.

They keeping you much busy, John?

Nah.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

Got an APB on a couple of runaways from down south,

but I don't expect they'll get up this far.

They might. Weather's nice.

Stay, Max.

How's by you? Can't complain.

If I do, nobody listens.

OFFICER: That's how I feel. Mmm-hmm. On the run?

HARRY: You tell Betsy to stop by anytime. TRUCKER: Yeah.

I've been there too. Glad to get the invitation. See you around.

Well, tell grandma howdy. HARRY: Will do.

There, he's leaving now.

(SIGHS WITH RELIEF)

Thank you.

Nothing to it. You got any friends around here?

Well, I hope so. I used to.

Used to?

I hope you find them.

Thanks.

Goodbye. Bye.

Come on. Let's go. Bye.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(FOLK MUSIC PLAYING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(SHEEP BLEATING)

Look at that, Max. Aren't they beautiful?

Okay, come on, let's go.

Well, Max, let's hope this old friend is still friendly.

MAN: Come on in, Harry. I'm in the kitchen.

Harry?

Sometimes I can't believe you.

Half the time you barge right in, the other half you pretend...

You're a gentleman.

Jaime.

Hello, Roger.

Uh...

Come on in. Thank you.

Stay. No, no, it's okay.

It's okay? Yeah.

Animals are considered people around here.

Okay.

ROGER: It's been...

It's been a long time.

It has.

Can I get you a cup of coffee or something?

Oh, yeah, I'd love some. Would you mind putting just a little...

Teaspoon of cocoa in it.

Yeah. You remembered.

You hungry?

A little.

Okay, I got some stuff going.

What brings you up here anyway?

Oh, we were just passing through.

Didn't hear your car.

Well, we walked up from the bottom of the hill.

Max wanted to stretch his legs and sol ran along with him.

Here you are. It's fresh,

it's hot. Thank you.

Uh...

Roger, I would like to apologize for the way that I left.

It wasn't easy for me either.

I don't blame you.

The tennis circuit is a lot more exciting than anything that's happening around here.

Most of the time it's downright dull.

Well, I could've been a little more mature about it

and discussed it with you before I left.

Would've made it worse. Like pulling a Band-Aid off.

Honest.

Jaime,

I'm glad you're here.

Okay.

I used to have a Shepherd when I was a kid, out in the country.

I ever tell you about him? Mmm-mmm.

Lobo.

Yeah, you're a good boy.

Yes, you are.

He was really something special.

No matter where Lo was, he had this kind of, um...

Energy with him, you know?

He had an ability

to look into things, to see through them

to what was essential.

Real.

(ROGER CHUCKLES)

I guess that I

learned more from life from him than anybody.

How to discover it. Enjoy it.

I loved that dog.

(WHINING)

Shh... Max.

POLICE RADIO: All units, the 08! has ordered us

to intensify the search for the girl and dog.

They think she might have hiked up Route 6 to our area.

Search all truck stops and other rest areas.

Get at it. Report in regularly,

Max?

That's okay. He's right here.

I fed him a little while ago.

(CHUCKLING) He ate like a horse.

Runs like one, too. How long have I been asleep?

Uh... Seven hours.

Really? Mmm-hmm.

I guess you were tired.

Yeah, so was Max.

Well, you definitely have not lost your touch, Mr. Grette.

A fireside dinner and everything, hmm?

Oh, this is just candlelight.

You see, this time of year, the forest is a great big tinderbox,

and we can't risk a hot cinder going up the flue, can we?

Well, you always were the cautious type.

Can I help?

No, this one's on me.

Oh, come on now, I can do something.

Okay, you can light the candles.

The matches are right there.

I'll get the lights.

Not fair.

All is fair. Not fair.

All is fair.

Okay. Here, let me help you.

One.

Come on.

Two.

Hello...

Come here.

(MAX BARKS)

Max? What's wrong?

Come on. It's okay.

He's just jealous.

Lobo used to get that way sometimes.

Okay.

(BARKING)

Max, what's the matter with you?

ROGER: I gotta get the steaks.

Okay.

(BARKING)

Max, what's the matter with you, huh?

(BARKING)

(WHINING)

Okay, here we go. It's the specialty of the house, Steak Diane.

Diane? What happened to Steak Jaime?

Okay, Steak Jaime.

Here, you do the honors. Okay.

(MAX WHINING)

(MAN LAUGHING)

(BARKING)

Max! (BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

Max!

ROGER: What the heck?

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

Max, come back here.

He's gone.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

That is the strongest dog I've ever seen.

Will you look at that? He pulled the screws right out of the frame.

Max was staring at that candle, Roger. It was the flame.

Hmm?

Jim was building a fire.

It's fire, fire. That's what it is.

That's what it's been all this time.

I don't understand.

Max was caught in a lab fire when he was a little puppy.

And that's what's been making him so crazy all the time. It's his fear of fire.

I mean, you saw the flames from the steaks made him run.

And is he what's been making you run?

What?

I know about the APB. They called.

They said that Max was dangerous and that if he attacked,

to shoot to kill.

"Shoot to kill"?

Oh, I don't believe it.

What's the matter with them? What about you?

Why didn't you turn us in? Why didn't you say something?

You could've... Wait a minute, now wait a minute...

I'm trying to help you.

Honest.

(SOBS)

I'm sorry, Roger. I'm sorry.

Oh, it's...

It's just so ridiculous, I mean, "Shoot to kill." Do you know how silly that is?

Hey, you know, I've got to call Oscar and Rudy.

They might still be at my house.

Who are they? And what's this about the OSI?

Can you tell me what's going on here?

I can't tell you much about it.

Max is a very special dog and he's got a problem.

He hates fire. He's scared to death of it.

Now, if I can just convince Oscar and Rudy... Hello?

Oscar? Jaime?

Where are you? Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Listen, I'm staying with a friend of mine up in the Sierras,

We're at the ranger station above Hardin Corner.

I was really worried about you.

Jaime, we're sorry. All of us are sorry that you had to run.

Things got so out of hand.

Yes, I know. It's okay.

Now, look, HI tell you what you do.

Bring Max back here and we'll see what can be done.

Well, I can't. See, he ran away again tonight.

What? But I know why he did it, Oscar,

It's fire. That's what it's been all this time.

It's fire.

I mean, that's what made him charge out of the coach house.

That's what made him run away tonight.

Well, Jaime, we can't be sure until we run some tests.

I am sure.

I mean, I can prove it to you when I get back there.

Look, will you please... Just call off the APB, okay, before somebody shoots him.

Will you at least do that for me?

Of course, babe, but...

I've got to get out there and start looking for Max now.

Would you tell Helen and Jim I'm okay and that I love them, huh?

I will. Take care of yourself.

Call off the APB. Jim, how far is Hardin Corner from here?

Well, it's an all-night drive.

Well I better get going.

What happened?

Max is running wild in the Sierras.

(WOLF WHINING)

(comm; GUN)

Gotcha, you bloodsucker.

(GUN FIRES)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

Roger?

Just a second.

Hey, I thought I heard a gunshot out there.

That's probably old Harley chasing off a wolf.

Here, let's go.

(RADIO BUZZING) Oh.

Hardin Mountain. Go ahead.

Roger? This is Harley down by the northwest meadow,

Harley, make it quick, will you? I'm on my way out.

Well, I just had this big dog kill one of my sheep.

A German Shepherd. I winged him,

I thought you'd want to know. He's heading up your way.

A German Shepherd? Now, are you sure it wasn't a wolf?

(CHUCKLING) Oh, heck no. I saw him clean as day. He was a big fella.

I'm going after him now.

I'm gonna see if I can finish him off.

Harley?

Harley, come in,

(SHOUTING) Harley!

Roger, that couldn't have been Max,

'cause he wouldn't attack a sheep herd.

That doesn't matter now. The important thing

is we get to him before Harley does.

Come on, let's go.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(WHINING)

(WHIMPERING)

JAIME: Max?

Max, here, boy. Max!

Max?

(SCREAMS)

(BARKING)

Believe me, he's more frightened than you are.

Yeah.

Well, now we know who killed the sheep, huh?

He's got some bad bites on him, too. Maybe he's been in a fight.

With Max?

Yeah, I think so. Come on, let's go this way. Max!

Max!

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(MAX WHINING)

(WHINING)

Roger, come here. I heard something down over there.

I don't hear anything.

I do. Come on. Trust me.

(WHINING)

(RIFLE COCKING)

Gotcha.

(BARKING)

Ahh! (GUN FIRES)

(GROANING) My foot. It's got my foot.

(CRYING) It's got my foot.

Stay away from me!

Help. Somebody please help me.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

Come on, dog. Leave me be.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

Nice dog. Good doggie.

Now, you know I didn't mean you no harm.

Oh... Oh, don't... Don't eat my foot.

Hey, please, don't eat my... Don't eat my foot!

No, please. I need it! Please... (CRYING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

I don't believe...

What kind of dog are you?

(CIRCUITS BEEPING)

(HOWLING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

Fire! Oh, no, got to get out of here.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

I heard something right over here.

Oh, my God.

JAIME: Oh, wow. Is it bad?

Forest as dry as it is now... Come on, I've got to get back to the station.

Okay.

Max! Come on, baby.

It's Jaime. It's Jaime. (BARKING)

Jaime, stay away from him. There's something wrong with his jaw.

It's Jaime, come on.

Jaime, stay back. Look out!

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

I gotta go after him.

But the fire's spreading that way. Don't be stupid.

Look, Roger, you said that to me when I wanted to go on the tennis circuit.

It didn't do any good then, and it's not gonna do any good now.

Jaime... Please listen.

Now you've got to go stop that fire, right?

Okay, I have to go find Max. Please understand.

WILL: Skylift Two, this is Fire Boss.

How's it look to you?

PILOT: Not good, Bill, It's running wild up the mountain,

All right, pull out and get another load.

PILOT: Gotcha, Bill.

Hardin Mountain, this is Fire Boss.

Roger, are you there?

Yeah, I'm here, Will.

WILL: How's it looking?

ROGER: Worse than '74,

The lines have been pushed back twice,

To tell you the truth, you know, we could use some relief,

WILL: That's a laugh. I'll call you when.

Willy, I'm serious. Now, we're all about to drop.

Hey, look, we could all use some help. You'll be the first to know when we get some.

Fire Boss out.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

Max?

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(MAX WHINING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(MAX BARKING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

PILOT: Skylift to Fire Boss.

Fire Boss, go ahead.

PILOT: Bad news, The wind is starting to shift,

WILL: What's it doing?

PILOT: Blowing the burn up around the top. It's just a big circle of flame.

The mountain's closed in.

Look, Tyler, we really do need some relief up here.

WILL: Roger? What's wrong?

Look, I'm telling you, we need some people.

I don't have any people to give you.

Look, I got to get out of here.

Roger, what are you talking about?

Look, my girl is out there in the middle of it.

Willy, I've got to go get her.

You'll do more to help her where you are.

Look, I don't see it that way.

I lost her one time and I'm not about to lose her again.

Rog! Rog!

Rog! One of you guys watch the radio for me, will you?

I'm going out.

FIRE RADIO: ...east west, car to car and operations,

Get that shiny piece of junk out of here.

This is a fire camp not a rest stop.

I'm Oscar Goldman, of the Office of Scientific Intelligence.

This is my associate, Dr. Rudy Wells.

I don't care who you are.

My best ranger just deserted his post,

and I'm in no mood to fool with spies. Now get out.

I'm sorry to trouble you, but this is a matter of national security.

Now, we're looking for a young woman and a dog. A German Shepherd.

They're supposed to be staying at the ranger station. Have you seen them?

No. But I know where they are.

That ranger I was just telling you about went in after them.

Well, where are they?

Up there.

In the middle of the fire.

OSCAR: Jaime...

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(BARKING)

Max? Max!

(MAX BARKING)

(WHIMPERING)

Jaime!

Max. Max.

(BARKING)

(CIRCUITS BEEPING)

Hi, baby, it's me.

Now, come on now. It's your jaw that's making you hurt.

I can help you, honey. (BARKING)

Come on.

Max. I can help you.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

Okay.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING) Max, no!

No, Max.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(WHIMPERING)

(BEEPING STOPS)

WILL: Skylift Two, this is Fire Boss.

Any sign of the girl and the dog on your last pass?

PILOT: Negative, and don't hold your breath,

Right now that sector's hotter than a bakery oven.

Jaime!

(WHINING)

Jaime!

Max! Here, Max!

Jaime!

(BARKING)

Max...

Jaime.

It's okay, Max. Jaime, come here. Jaime.

Max, no...

It's all right, it's all right. It's all right.

It's okay.

No, it's all right now. It's all right.

Okay. Okay.

Oh, my.

My head hurts.

What happened to you?

Max attacked me. And he got my arm.

Jaime!

Oh, I'm sorry, Roger, I...

I didn't want you to see this.

Not all of me is like this, you know. Just parts.

ROGER: Well, what is it?

It's bionics. I'll tell you about it later.

Max, too then?

Yeah.

That's why he was running from me.

Apparently, when they shot him,

it caused a short circuit in his jaw.

And I guess the electricity or something was affecting his mind.

I jerked on a couple of wires when he jumped on me.

And I guess that did it.

It's getting hot!

Take that thing off. I've got a coat for you right here.

Are we going to get out of here, Roger?

Maybe.

There's a steam engine at the old logging camp. They used to use it for tourism.

It's just over the rise. Maybe we can get it to run. Come on, it's worth a shot.

WILL: See anything?

PILOT: Nothing yet, The north woods is going up something fierce,

I'm going to make a pass over the logging camp.

Easy. Come on. Come on. Come on. Max.

Okay.

What are we going to do about that car?

We'll push it if we can get this old horse to run.

Everything seems to be okay.

(GRUNTS)

Oh, I spoke too soon. The deadman's stuck.

That's an encouraging name. What is it?

You have to hold it back while the train's going, or it comes to a stop.

It was in case...

In case the engineer turned into a dead man?

Let me try.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

There you go. See, it's easy.

You'd be surprised at what else I can do.

I'm afraid to ask.

Come on, give me a hand with this fire here.

Roger, there's a helicopter.

Hello! Hey!

ROGER: (WHISTLES) Hey, down here.

Hey, down here.

JAIME: Oh, he's pulling away.

Well, he couldn't have landed anyway.

Come on, stoke it up.

PILOT: I'm sorry, Bill, but it's too hot to land,

WILL: I understand, Skylift Two,

Fire Boss out.

One of the choppers just spotted some movement at the logging camp.

I'll lay odds it's them. Can the chopper get in and get them?

No, it's too much flame. But there's an old steam engine up there.

Now, if they can get it started, and the tracks haven't burnt out yet,

they just might be able to ride it down.

Anyway we can help?

Yes, we can meet them up by the fire break.

Come on. Let's go.

(WHINING)

Okay, baby. We'll be out of here in just a minute.

You ready, Ace?

I haven't heard that in a long time.

(TOOTING)

All right! Here we go.

ROGER: Come on, let's go. Come on.

Let's go.

Go! ROGER: Come on!

Come on. What's wrong?

We're pushing too much weight.

Well, maybe it just needs a little help, huh?

Like another locomotive. Where you going?

Open the throttle.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(STEAM ENGINE RUNNING)

Can I ask you how you did that?

No.

(ROGER COUGHING)

The smoke's getting heavy.

(JAIME COUGHING)

(BARKING) JAIME: I know it's hot.

(ROGER COUGHING)

You guys and Roger...

She must be something very special.

She is.

What are their chances?

It depends on how hot it is. How long the tracks hold out.

ROGER: Here comes a hot spot.

JAIME: (COUGHING) Are we going to make it?

ROGER: (COUGHS) Maybe, if we don't die of smoke inhalation first.

(BOTH COUGHING)

(WHIMPERING)

(COUGHING)

JAIME: Hey, thanks, Max. (COUGHS)

(ROGER COUGHING)

WILL: This is it!

OSCAR: Can we get through?

Maybe.

But I'm not going to risk sending anyone in,

until I know that train is on the other side.

(COUGHING) I can't breathe.

I can't breathe. (COUGHS) Jaime...

The deadman...

(COUGHS)

(ROGER'S VOICE) Well, this deadman had to be held back,

(COUGHING)

(MAX WHINING)

(WHIMPERING)

(BARKING)

Did you hear something, Oscar?

I thought I heard a dog barking.

WILL: Somebody, get on the radio. See if the chopper can spot them.

It's only the fire, Rudy.

(MAX WHINING)

(COUGHING)

Max? (GROANING)

Max, did you hear that?

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

WILL: You guys go down the road

and see if there might be another way in,

Go... (COUGHS) Go get... (COUGHS) Go get them, Max. Go on and get them.

(WHINING)

Go get them. Go get them, Max.

(BARKING)

Go get them, Max.

(WHIMPERING)

(COUGHS)

(BARKING)

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

Max!

(BARKING) Max, where's Jaime?

(BARKING)

Let's go!

All right, get that line over here. We're going through.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

(ALL CLAMORING)

(BARKING)

Get him out!

RUDY: Smoke inhalation. It looks bad. I need oxygen.

Grab her.

Easy now. Easy.

Over here. Give me oxygen.

I've got her.

Get that mask out.

Hurry. Hurry.

Max...

Max, I'm sure your licks are beneficial, but the oxygen will do her more good.

WILL: Come on, deep breaths. Breathe.

That's it. That's it, breathe.

That's it. There she goes. There she goes.

(MOANING) Max.

Good boy, Max. Good boy.

WILL: There, she's gonna be okay.

Good boy, Max. Good boy.

PILOT: It looks pretty clean, Bill,

Everything seems to be under control.

WILL: That's terrific.

What are you hanging around for? Go on home.

PILOT: [thought you'd never ask, I'm out.

...was sparking.

And then he jumped over me and he ate my gun.

Solid steel. He ate it...

I thought you'd like to know, it's under control.

I'm relieved. Thanks.

Oh, and, Rog?

Yeah?

She's worth it.

Yeah, I know.

Rudy, what's gonna happen to Max now?

Oh, I guess I'll become a dog shrink

and I'll try to help Max overcome his fear of fire.

Not in the lab, huh?

Not in the lab.

Well, where will you keep him?

After he's gotten over it.

We're not sure. We might give him to Jaime.

Or a certain forest ranger's cabin?

(CHUCKLING)

That's a good idea.

Except I get visiting privileges, you know.

That's the idea.

OSCAR: We'll consider it.

But the final decision is up to Max.

Isn't that right, Max?

Max?

Shh... He's tired.

(MAX WHINES)
