ANNOUNCER: Steve Austin. Astronaut.

A man barely alive.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him.

We have the technology.

We have the capability to make the world's first bionic man.

Steve Austin will be that man.

Better than he was before.

Better, stronger, faster.

OSCAR: This is Omega's sign, all right.

No finger prints, as usual.

This particular job looks like the work of Kirov.

Kirov? Is that Omega's real name?

No, this is just one of the names of one of the men who works for Omega.

Nobody knows who Omega is.

Well, I'd say he had inside help.

I agree, that's why he's so efficient... so invulnerable.

He has inside agents all over the United States, Steve...

all over the world.

Last night I heard that...

(PHONE BUZZES)

SALLY: Mr. Goldman.

Yes, Sally.

The Secretary is on your private line in your office.

We're on our way.

How important is the Project Fusion material he stole?

Couple of days ago, I'd day it was the single most important project...

we've been involved in.

Since then I've learned we've run into a dead end.

Excuse me.

Then if Omega got nothing, there's no harm done.

The project cost eight billion so far, I'd hardly say no harm done.

Put him on.

I'd guess the fact that Omega got his man in and out of here as easily...

is also bothering the Secretary.

Exactly.

Hello, Mr. Secretary.

No, I don't know how that man got by our security.

Yes, I'm well aware of the gravity of the situation.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir, I have heard about those Congressional questions...

from that Committee.

I don't know exactly to the penny what this project costs...

but I'll have a report on your desk tomorrow morning.

Mr. Secretary, would you like my resignation?

Thank you, sir.

Yes, a security review is on its way.

Wouldn't let me off the hook by resigning.

It's this Omega thing, Rudy, on top of the Project Fusion failure.

What exactly is the Fusion Project?

Hydrogen fusion.

Basically we took two approaches.

Pure research and practical development...

like an underwater breathing device that breaks water down...

into its components, hydrogen and oxygen.

Except that it doesn't work.

RUDY: The power it takes makes it impractical.

Impractical! That's the word, Rudy!

Impract-ibilty.

That's the name of this project.

Five years.

Right, Rudy? Five years.

OSCAR: What have we got? Nothing.

The papers Omega stole show those final results?

No, the scientists weren't in on it.

We kept them working in their own special areas for security reasons.

So, the information they got is enough to make them fascinated...

and make them want more.

What are you saying, Steve?

You're saying that he might come back for more?

Well, according to you, Omega is O.S.I.'s biggest problem.

Lfwe could capture him...

we might could justify the money spent on the Fusion Project.

Yes, but it doesn't work, pal.

How can we fake it to convince him that it does?

Well, we concentrate on one part of it.

The underwater breathing device.

What's so great about that?

Well, it's supposed to make its own oxygen, and its own power.

The problem is we have to get the power from somewhere else.

How much power?

Too much, it needs an atomic module to...

STEVE: Right.

And we know someone who's already atomically powered.

It might work.

It will work.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

(CAR ENGINE TURNING OVER)

Car trouble?

Oh, well, I don't seem to get it started.

Sounds like your not getting power through to the starter.

Hit the hood latch, I'll have a look.

Thanks.

No wonder you're not getting any power.

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(POWER DRILL SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(POWER DRILL SOUND EFFECT)

Try it again.

Trying!

(ENGINE STARTS)

Now how did you do that?

Well, that's the advantage of an extensive education.

No, just a loose wire.

Well, I'm very grateful and I'm very impressed.

Oh, we haven't met. My name is Ilse Martin.

Nuclear Biochemistry.

ILSE: What do you work on?

Well, I was warned not to discuss that.

Oh, that's Oscar with his silly security precautions.

You must be new here, eh?

You get used to him.

Well, thanks a lot and I hope I can return the favor one day.

Well, I hope so, too.

Okay, thank you.

Bye.

How much longer?

To design miniaturized components we need three things.

People we have.

Money, you supply.

What you keep refusing to give me is time!

But you said it was ready, Rudy.

Please, gentlemen, don't fight over me.

Okay, now this converter I designed...

takes up more space than I planned.

I'm gonna have to reroute a few of your circuits.

STEVE: This is the bionic connection.

It inserts like a hypodermic just below the shoulder.

That's great, but will they believe it?

Well, it is the original converter.

It didn't work, but only because of the power source.

If it seemed logical then, Oscar, it should seem logical now.

Well, what about the wire?

That connection runs under the helmet when Steve demonstrates it.

Right into his arm.

Then the moment the dive is finished, it retracts into the unit.

They'll never see it.

Terrific.

Well, let's give it a try, huh?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(DEVICE WHIRS ON)

Good work, Rudy.

Steve's bionic batteries are working beautifully.

Those bubbles are hydrogen.

Unfortunately we're throwing that away.

If we could design a hydrogen fuel cell to take the place of Steve's atomic batteries...

it would burn hydrogen while extracting breathing oxygen...

and then burn hydrogen again.

Perpetual motion.

(DOOR SLAMS)

I'm sorry, Dr. Martin, but you really shouldn't...

Excuse me!

Oscar, you know I'm really quite annoyed.

What is this I hear about you testing my catalytic...

(BUBBLES RISING)

Well, what do you know? It works.

What did you use as a power source?

I'm sorry, Mr. Goldman.

I said it was a private test but Dr. Martin has a 12 security clearance and...

And it is my converter, okay, Mr...?

Cartwright.

Yes, Mr. Cartwright.

(DEVICE WHIRS OFF)

Hello, there, my favorite mechanic.

So that's what you're doing here.

How did you manage a power source small enough to fit into the pack?

I mean I've tried for ages, I just...

Dr. Martin, you know that this information is classified.

You know the rules.

It applies to all scientists on this project.

All right, even though we can't discuss it...

it looks pretty good on you.

Gentlemen.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Steve, I want you to familiarize yourself with this dossier.

Dr. Mark Porter...

What's his problem?

He has two problems.

He loves money and he loves women.

Well, nobody's perfect.

He also has financial difficulties, which makes him a security risk.

You'll find everything in that file.

Everything about his early childhood.

He graduated from MIT. Brilliant scientist.

Is there a picture of him in here somewhere?

It's on the back page.

STEVE: Well, not a bad looking fellow.

I take it you want me to impersonate this Dr. Porter?

There's no such person as Dr. Mark Porter, Steve.

He exists only in that file, and in the world computer record...

which we've altered.

In this briefcase are top secret documents on Project Fusion.

Also the underwater breathing device is in there.

Your plane leaves at 12:45.

Where am I going?

To Los Angeles, to your laboratory there.

You have a secret research facility there...

where you've been working on Project Fusion.

We've also leaked the word to Matheson...

that you're there and that you have financial difficulties.

Matheson?

Theodore J. Matheson, head of EURAM Enterprises.

One of the largest industrial complexes in Europe.

His operations extend in every country.

We've leaked the information that you're sick of working for your government...

and that you have access to a valuable invention.

Why Matheson? Does he have contact with Omega?

No, no, no. Nobody has direct contact with Omega.

But if he senses that someone as important as Matheson is interested...

Omega will know it.

STEVE: How do I contact Matheson?

OSCAR: He owns a marine amusement park...

where he keeps offices when he's on the coast.

You'll have an apartment nearby.

Just continue your research and wait.

Matheson will contact you.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

(WEAK BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(WEAK BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello.

Dr. Porter? Yes.

We haven't met but I'm sure it would be mutually advantageous that we do.

Who is this?

Someone who can solve your problems.

Your apartment, Doctor.

(DIAL TONE)

(WEAK BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

STEVE: Oscar, my bionic arm isn't working.

Steve, I have Rudy here on the extension.

What exactly was the loss of function?

Was there a sudden failure?

This was the first time I've tried to use it bionically since you rewired me.

Well, I expected some energy drain...

but only when the breathing apparatus was being used.

Well, it's no stronger than my normal arm.

Steve, you better get in here and let Rudy...

I can't, Oscar.

Matheson just called. It's all in motion.

But it'll put you in jeopardy.

If your arm goes, the rest might.

Oscar, you spent a lot of time convincing me how urgent this operation is.

But Steve, if...

Steve, until we find a solution, I agree with Oscar.

Then find a solution.

I just might need an arm.

I don't want to have to make this an or...

(DIAL TONE)

(WEAK BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Well, who are you people?

We're friends, Doctor.

We're just checking out to make sure your apartment hasn't been bugged.

It's clear.

If you're O.S.I. Security, I'm sick of being checked on.

No, Doctor, we're amateurs. That's why it takes us longer.

We should have been through here by the time you arrived.

I'm Walker, Mr. Matheson's secretary.

Mr. Matheson wanted me to check out a matter of mutual concern.

He hears that you're losing interest in your present employment.

What makes Mr. Matheson think I don't like my work?

WALKER: Well, what do you like, Doctor? Your reputation?

Which they deny you because of security.

The laboratory they gave you to work in?

(BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT)

WALKER: Are you a rich man?

Mr. Matheson would like all his friends to be rich.

He knows how frustrating government work can be.

Your budget is subject to the whim of committees...

you're grossly underpaid for the responsibilities you have.

Mr. Matheson has dealt with many men in your condition, in many countries.

Men who've sold out?

That's a moralistic term, Doctor.

Mr. Matheson is prepared to market your discovery...

and bring you a profit.

How much profit?

If the device tests out, one million dollars.

(SCOFFS)

Five million dollars... in gold.

And safe conduct out of the country.

Five million dollars is a great deal of money, Doctor, for an underwater breathing device.

If Matheson thought it was just an underwater breathing device...

we wouldn't be talking.

No, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Besides, it wouldn't be patriotic to sell out for less than five million.

I don't have the authority to make such a decision.

You'll have to confer with Mr. Matheson.

He owns a Marine Amusement Park near...

I know where it is.

I'll arrange an appointment... tomorrow.

Dr. Porter, so good of you to come.

May I introduce my two friends, the killer whales, Orki and Gorki.

Let's come up, because they have a tendency to splash.

It's a fun place here...

but it's actually a hobby of mine.

This is Tango X-ray. Do you read? Over.

This is Tango X-ray. Do you read? Over.

This is Omega, Tango X-ray. We're on scramble.

They're together. I've got a clear shot.

Proceed.

You drive a hard bargain.

But, if your device tests out under the conditions I specify...

yes, you'll have the money...

and a new identity in whatever country you like.

You have the breathing device with you?

You'll see it when we agree on terms.

For the price, that should be quite a sight.

It's only a gadget, but it works. It's salable.

(PLINKS)

(BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT)

MATHESON: Do you have it here?

Well, the breathing device is the only thing involving the principle you're buying.

Small enough to smuggle out of the O.S.I..

Would you like to give me an idea of the principle involved?

Would you like to give me five million in gold?

That's a great deal of gold.

Well, it's a great deal of principle.

All right, it will be here when you complete the test.

When will that be?

This afternoon, after the park closes.

I have a few arrangements to make, including the gold.

Will that be agreeable to you?

Fine.

As for an idea of what's involved... it's unlimited power...

but the conversion is the real secret.

Do you mean nuclear fusion?

That's right, Mr. Matheson.

STEVE: The ocean is one vast, untapped and unlimited power source.

Dr. Porter was worth waiting for.

(PHONE RINGS)

Yes, Steve.

I just left Matheson. The test is set for this afternoon.

Where?

In the main tank.

In the main tank!

Well, he wouldn't settle for anything less.

Well, you just postpone it, I want you to get back here.

Rudy's gonna redesign your bionic circuitry.

He's got a plan.

We went through that, Oscar.

It's set. The test has to be done this afternoon.

Steve!

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

Hey! Hey, fella, come here!

Hey, are you all right?

Yeah.

The way you were running down that hill I thought you were in trouble.

No, I was just out jogging.

Don't you think it'd be easier to jog on the read than a cornfield?

Well, that's the way I learned it back on the farm.

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(PAPER RUSTLING)

How did you get here?

I mean, the last time I saw you were... well...

I see you're selling out.

You called Matheson.

And you're working for Omega. You sold out a long time ago.

I think I'd better call O.S.I. Security.

Well, why don't you just do that?

See, it may come as a shock to you, but I happen to be part of O.S.I. Security.

You're working as a spy?

Yes, sir.

Oscar never told me that.

Well, of course not, the Secretary put me in to watch Oscar.

That's ridiculous.

Please.

I'm a double agent.

Omega got to me first.

(HANGS UP PHONE)

You know who Omega is?

No, I don't.

I think the only one who does is the guy who recruited me.

Was that Kirov?

Yup. It was Kirov.

Oh, quite a lot.

You see, I studied your dossier quite carefully, Doctor.

All right.

Then you know how much I earn.

So you can tell the O.S.I. I'm sick of working for a government...

that doesn't appreciate their scientists.

I'm tired of being paid less than some teenager who sings out of tune.

Most of all, would you tell them that I'm sorry that you're a spy.

(PHONE RINGS)

Yes, Steve.

Oscar, do you want to discuss Ilse Martin?

What about her?

She claims she's a double agent.

In contact with Omega and working for O.S.I. Security.

It could be.

It would explain a few things.

You're telling me you didn't know?

Steve, there are some things they don't even tell me.

But does she know who I am? She acts as though she doesn't?

And there are some things they don't even tell her.

The Secretary personally recommended her.

My understanding is that she's loyal.

Would you bet your life on it, Oscar?

Because I'm betting mine.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

STEVE: All right, Mr. Matheson, I'm ready.

STEVE: What sort of test do you want?

And are you going to dive with me?

No, no, no, I'm a poor swimmer.

And basically lazy.

You see, we have viewing ports down below.

And I prefer to watch the test in comfort.

Well, I'd prefer to see the gold first.

(SIGHS)

Mr. Walker!

Would you open the safe, please?

How many bars?

It's all there, Doctor.

You must believe I'm a reputable businessman.

Well, let's get started.

All right, let's go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Come on!

That's all there is to it?

Well, that's all the hardware.

The rest is up here.

I'll go below.

Oscar, I programmed a computer run on Steve's bionics...

since he called about his loss of power.

Trouble?

More than I thought.

If he continues using that underwater equipment...

it'll result in a complete loss of his bionic power.

Well, then he'll be helpless underwater.

That's about it.

Now when's the test scheduled?

This afternoon.

This afternoon? You've gotta stop it!

It's too late for that, Rudy.

Sally, I'm going to Los Angeles.

I want Tom Farrell and Ed Moore to meet me at my jet as quickly as possible.

Yes, sir.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Whenever he's ready.

Doctor, they're ready for you below.

Whoa.

ED: Mr. Matheson?

Mr. Matheson...

we got trouble.

We know.

What is this? Who are you?

Don't move, stay where you are.

I demand to know who you people are and what you want.

Well, I don't think you're in much of a position to demand anything, Mr. Matheson.

Kirov, get the gold.

OMEGA: Would you please have your Mr. Walker open the safe for us?

It's a time lock. We can't get in 'til morning.

Mr. Walker, open the safe.

Gold is replaceable.

Kirov, would you lock up Mr. Walker and this gentleman right here for me, please?

Now according to your agreement with Dr. Porter...

he has another half hour down in the tank.

But I'm afraid he might notice your absence.

So you gentlemen, you better go down there and bring him up.

The scuba gear is in the diving room.

Why? There's no place for him to go.

Mr. Matheson, let's not waste each other's time.

There's a valve at the bottom of the tank, a passage way to the sea.

With that breathing device, we might never find him.

I hope you don't mind, but I'm afraid we're gonna have to lock you up, too.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(LOUD SPLASH)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(WEAK BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(WEAK BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(WEAK BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

Give me that breathing device!

What happened?

I don't know. He put up a fight down there.

And when we bumped into him, he passed out.

Give him a hand.

Get around. Get his head.

Okay, put him down now, gently though.

Okay.

I've got a pulse.

Well, look what I got for a nurse.

Beside my degree in chemistry, I've also got a medical degree.

How ya' feeling now, Dr. Porter?

Matheson didn't tell me he was expecting company.

All right, let's get him on his feet.

(COUGHING)

(WEAK BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

What's wrong?

I think I hurt my back on the rig below.

Kirov, check him into the divers' room.

You think it's serious?

I don't know. I'll have to examine him first.

Well, give him your best shot. I'd hate to lose him.

Yes, sir.

Hm, isn't that a lovely sight?

STEVE: So Omega's got the gold?

Yes.

What happens to me?

First, let's find out what has happened to you.

Whether you have any injury to the spinal cord or not.

What exactly happened when you hit the...

What do you get out of all this?

Look, I've told you my position, Doctor. I didn't lie to you.

Now do you have any strange sensations in your legs like numbness?

Or a certain sharp pain or...

No, none.

Good.

Okay, let's have a look.

Well, I guess I don't have any choice now.

I'll have to trust you.

My name is Steve Austin.

The astronaut!

Oh, then you are the one Rudy Wells was working on.

That's right.

The accident knocked out my bionics.

I'm gonna need some copper wire and some soldering equipment.

But I mean why would Oscar want to pass you off as Dr. Porter?

I don't understand that.

If you're on our side, you'll get me the equipment.

Stall them.

Tell them I can't be moved. Tell them anything.

Just get me the equipment!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

It may be a spinal cord involvement...

I'll need my bag to do some tests, all right?

Yeah. Okay.

Watch her.

The intercom on?

Dr. Porter...

you're aware that I've taken over for Mr. Matheson...

you're probably wondering what I plan to do?

That question crossed my mind.

I'm not a scientist but I do know that device is worth the five million dollars.

Which you stole.

Well, I certainly never meant you any harm.

It just turned out that way, huh?

Dr. Porter, if this breathing device works...

I want you alive and well.

I will give you your own laboratory in Europe.

Your own staff, pick of the top scientists.

And, of course, the five million dollars.

So you see I'm not at all greedy.

But first I would like a test of the device...

here, in the tank.

Afraid your men made that impossible.

I don't think I can even walk.

Perhaps.

Let's hear what Dr. Martin has to say.

I would like to be alone with the patient if you don't mind.

All right.

But be careful.

Very important patient.

I'll keep that in mind.

Did you get...

I'd have to take you to the hospital to get all the things I need.

You should have a complete neurological workup.

Now I'm going to make a few simple tests.

And you just tell me if you feel any pain and what you feel, all right?

(WHISPERS) Nothing.

Nothing.

That's good. Now what do you feel here?

(WHISPERS) Nothing.

No, I don't feel anything.

ILSE: Very good, now let's see the base of the spine, here.

Does that hurt?

STEVE: Ow! Yes, that hurts.

ILSE: It does? All right, I'll give you something to ease the pain.

Any allergies to drugs?

No, I don't think so.

That's good. All right.

Now that won't hurt a bit, I'm quite sure.

All right.

Cover me.

All right.

Okay, now bite your teeth together, okay?

Here we go.

(GROANS) All right, all right.

Where was... Only half as bad, right?

(WHISPERS) Connect them.

Now just lie there and let the drug take effect, all right.

Right. All right.

There is some paralysis. I need x-rays.

No.

But look, there's no danger.

I'll give him something to knock him out...

and I take him to the emergency hospital, get the plates and leave.

The O.S.I. must be looking for him.

And, of course, there's you.

Amazing. After all this time, you still don't trust me, do you?

After all this time I don't trust anyone.

That's why I'm Omega.

Call the airport.

Have them get my jet ready.

We'll take him to one of our own European clinics.

Safer that way.

OMEGA: Paul? Yes, sir.

Now try this out.

How does it work?

Ask her.

Look, there may be something wrong with it.

Dr. Porter...

Dr. Porter hurt his back.

You do know how this works, don't you?

You were put into the O.S.I. to find that out.

You helped develop it.

You told me it works.

It did. I saw it work.

But I had no idea...

Never mind! We'll try it.

The plane will be fueled and ready for take-off in 20 minutes.

Good. Dr. Martin is going to test the device for us.

Get a wetsuit on.

But what if something happened to it when Dr. Porter got hurt?

Kirov...

would you and Paul please help Dr. Martin to the tank?

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Why the cage?

Well, were just taking every precaution for your safety, that's all.

But the fish aren't dangerous.

Well, since you know about the sea valve...

we wouldn't want to hear you've surfaced in Hong Kong, would we?

(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

All right, take it up.

(WINCH WHIRS)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

All right, lower it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(METAL CREAKING)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

Get the breathing device!

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

It's nice to know who your friends are.

Steve, you just stood there and let him go.

Oscar, I wasn't just standing around.

Why didn't you try to stop him?

Why didn't you call me? I could have had them grounded.

I could have set up interceptors.

I had a very busy day.

You had a busy day?

Do you have any idea what kind of a day I'm going to have with the Secretary tomorrow?

You had a golden opportunity. You could have gotten the Omega.

It would have cancelled out everything.

And you let him slip right through our fingers.

What did Omega steal?

He stole the breathing device, pal. We know that.

And what's it worth?

Nothing.

Omega has a great reputation...

based on the fact that he's always been able to deliver what he's promised.

And this time he's going to deliver a fake.

The first government he tries to sell to will have him jailed as a fraud...

and his credibility with all the other governments will be destroyed forever.
