Mission Control.

Steve, what is it? What's wrong?

I was hoping you could tell me.

He's alive.

He lost an arm, two legs, and one eye. But he's alive.

I'm not sure he'd want to live if he can't be the man he was.

What if he could be more than the man he was?

We have the technology to rebuild him. I want it done no matter what the cost.

He's done!

Catch him if you can. Beat him if you can. Love him if you can.

Now he's the man. Six million dollar man.

Thank you.

Don't jump.

I'll admit it isn't the most stimulating party in Alexandria's history.

You said that you were not leaving until tomorrow.

Why is it that I feel that I have already lost you?

Electronic binoculars.

Tomorrow, I thought we'd agreed that you wouldn't be here tonight.

Now you go back inside and slip away as quickly as you can.

That's Austin.

We can give him 12 minutes to complete his mission and still have time to get

out of here.

But not a second more.

Sir, would you mind telling me how we're going to pick up this Austin fellow

without running into Egyptian patrol boats?

Orders say he's going to swim out.

It would take him four hours to swim that distance.

Orders say he'll do it in six minutes.

Sir, to do that, he would have to swim it better than 35 knots.

That's impossible.

I know that.

And you know it, Lieutenant.

Apparently some wizard in Washington doesn't know it.

So we wait the assigned 12 minutes.

Or rather, make that 11 minutes now.

Then we get the thunder out of here.

Eight minutes, sir.

Ah, my guest of honor, Mr.

Finletter.

Welcome to the land of the Nile.

I trust you had a pleasant voyage.

Quite comfortable, thank you.

I want this to be the beginning of a long and profitable relationship for

both of us.

We have the finest caviar.

Champagne? Mr. Messer, I prefer to celebrate after the business at hand has

been settled.

But this party... Tis premature.

My dear Mr. Finletter, your wired instructions for this party will follow

to the letter.

What wire?

Well, I said no wire.

Other than the arrival time of my boat this evening.

Sorry, pal.

You are telling me you did not demand a state dinner with the specific

requirements up to and including the size of the orchestra and a special

selection of the music that you wish to be played throughout the entire evening?

Mr. Massa, I'm a businessman and not a raconteur.

Well, if you did not require this dinner, who did?

We got him trapped.

Call the patrol boats.

I came here to sell weapons, to help you annihilate your enemies.

Is this the greeting I receive?

You reasonably think I could have anything to do with this? We are in your

country. If not you, then who?

Radar reports patrol boats all over the harbor, sir.

Yes, I see them.

Underwater target on sonar, sir. At 30 feet, moving on a course of 150.

Come around to 184.

Prepare depth charges.

Coming up on target.

Two minutes to dive, sir.

I don't see how any man could swim through that.

Give a standby to dive.

The target is still moving very fast, sir.

Let me see that.

Why, that target is moving at more than 35 miles an hour.

Why, you imbecile, you're tracking a shark.

But it's the only target on the screen, sir.

Yeah, then he must have reached shore.

Order all boats to 350.

He didn't make it.

Let's get out of here.

Captain.

Medic's on deck. Flank speed.

That shark we were chasing, sir, it's rendezvousing with another target.

A large target sir.

We're safely underway, sir, and the Air Evac helicopter is on its way to pick up

Colonel.

Yes, sir.

I just got a priority, Red Circle, from Washington.

We're to forget what we've seen here.

Not just now, but forever.

And you're to get on that horn and tell Air Evac if they don't break every

record in getting here.

We're going to lose what must be the most valuable man in the world.

How is he, Richard?

His physical condition has been remedied. Good.

He's all right to go out again.

Well, well, well, look who's here.

They're turning a country upside down trying to find you, and here you are,

relaxing, sipping lemonade.

We've got some talking to do. I see you haven't lost your sense of humor.

Oscar, that safe was empty.

What we were after wasn't where it was supposed to be. We're gonna have to try

again. You put me through four weeks of cloak and dagger.

pit me against the entire Egyptian Navy, and you're going to stand there and tell

me it was all a mistake?

You performed your part of the mission brilliantly.

The fact that the safe was empty is no concern of yours.

Higher heads will fall because of it.

What was supposed to be in that safe that was worth so many necks?

Our people function on a need-to-know basis.

We told you where the boat was, we told you where the safe was. Knowing more

wouldn't have done you any good then or now.

That's the way we operate, Steve.

That's not the way I operate.

Steve, you're special, but you're not that special.

We can't break the rules for one man. Then you get yourself another.

Take it easy.

I am taking it easy.

If I meant to break that glass, it'd be powder.

Well, I don't understand. If you didn't mean to break it, then how did that

happen? Oh, it's simple, Doctor. The equipment you gave me is faulty, just

like the thinking around here. Well, it seems as though we're not accomplishing

anything here. Steve, you need a rest.

Take it easy. Take some time off. Before we discuss any time off, there's some

unfinished business.

The contents of the safe?

I'm talking about the girl.

Tamara.

The one you said might be sympathetic.

She was.

I made her a promise.

What sort of promise?

That we'd get her out of there.

Well, um... I'm afraid that's impossible, Steve.

Why?

She's dead.

Fifty-five?

Fifty-eight?

Sixty miles an hour?

Steve, I gotta slow this thing down, you're gonna break the machine.

I did it. I did it, but I don't believe it.

What's the matter? Nothing's the matter.

You're not just as good as new, you're better.

Those new booster gyros have improved your balance to the point where I'm

afraid to find out what your ceiling is.

Hey, Steve, I'm sorry.

I am really about the girl, about what we've gotten you into.

There's a part of me, the unscientific part, that

wishes it had never happened.

Why, Rudy?

Why is she dead?

She didn't do anything but provide me with the kind of information they pass

out at the Egyptian tour center.

She was seen with you.

Oscar thinks they tried to make her talk.

Steve, you're just going to have to realize that these things happen. You

can't blame yourself or the organization.

We've got a problem on our hands.

Steve Austin?

Give him time.

He'll come around. We haven't got time.

What do you know about a man called Arlen Finletter?

I know we've lost an awful lot of good men to him. The safe that Steve Austin

cracked in Alexandria belonged to him.

It was supposed to contain an arms catalog.

He deals in the nuclear black market.

Nuclear black market?

This country has been shipping and storing nuclear weapons all over the

world for the past 27 years.

Naturally, we've lost a few.

But up until now, we've managed pretty well.

Up till now?

We've received a report that Finletter is trying to peddle American and Russian

Polaris-type missiles.

We've never lost a Polaris missile.

At least, I don't think so.

Then what's the problem?

This morning, a Russian rocket expert arrived in the Caribbean to talk to

Finletter.

Now, the Russians don't fool easily. On the other hand, I stake my reputation on

the fact that Finletter is a fraud.

Rudy, we've got to get our hands on that arms catalog.

and we're gonna need Steve Austin to help us.

Well, if you're asking for a medical opinion, he's ready.

But given Steve's present attitude towards you and the methods of your

organization, I wouldn't guarantee that he's gonna cooperate with you. We're

gonna need Steve Austin on this mission with or without his cooperation.

Steve, don't sell Oscar short.

He's a good man.

Yeah, well, what's his limit?

How far will he go to fulfill a mission?

I don't think anybody knows what his limit is until he has to make that

decision.

Steve, you've been through an emotional experience.

Oscar's arranged for you to have a little rest.

What's the catch?

No catch.

You have the full run of this floor.

Gymnasium, movies, food, drink, anything you need.

The full run of this floor?

Security, Steve.

They can't let you leave this protected area until the mission you were a part

of is completed.

At this point in my life, Rudy, I owe you everything.

You took the pieces and put them all back together again.

But I'm nobody's robot.

Not yours, not Oscar Goldman's.

Nobody's.

Excuse me, Major.

I'm sorry, fellas. We're all on the same side, I think.

It's all right. We're all friends. Hey, buddy.

I have to ask for your clearance.

Is five level high enough for you? May I see it?

Why, certainly, Corporal.

All right, sir. You can talk to Colonel Austin outside the lab. Oh.

Well, anything you said.

If they got you cordoned off, it'd be easier to get in to see God. What's that

all about?

It's just another one of those NASA quarantine dates. What about you?

Oh, well, I'm having a little overseas physical.

Somebody pushed the Harry Donner button, and now it looks like I'm gonna be stuck

in Tokyo.

Well, you make it sound like Devil's Island.

Oh, no. Ordinarily, I'd be tickled pink. It's, you know, Tokyo.

No, it's just I had other plans.

Hey, Steve, do you remember Tony Doyle's place in the Bahamas?

Well, I got it rented for two weeks.

Tony Doyle's place? I guess I missed out on that one.

You're kidding.

Well, then you've missed out on paradise.

Now, I mean, this is it. The whitest sands, the bluest water.

They got fish a mile long.

This is like the ends of the world. It's like Shangri-La.

Old elephants go there to die.

And what can I tell you? It's there, all paid for, and I'm here.

Harry, I think we can do some business.

Hey, listen, Steve, just one last thing.

I want to tell you about an awful sweet little lassie.

I mean, there's no obligation, but in case you feel like spending a little

time with her.

Oh, thanks, Harry, but I owe this weekend to a special lady.

Oh? Is she going to join you down at Paradise Key?

No, she couldn't make it, but I'm going to think about her.

Well, listen, whatever's right. I mean, to each his own, right?

Hey, listen, have a good time, buddy.

Steve Austin is on his way.

More champagne?

No, thank you.

Sir, I asked if you would like more champagne.

Yes, please.

Look, you seem like a very nice lady.

What I mean is, I think we better straighten this thing out right now.

Do you confuse me with someone?

I don't think so. You're a friend of Harry's, right?

Who? Look, whatever he said to you, I'm sorry.

I'm just not interested.

In doing what?

Look, let's don't play games.

This plane is less than a fourth full.

They just don't seat passengers together like this unless someone has made a

specific request.

If Harry's made some kind of arrangement with you, I'll be glad to pay you off.

Pay me off?

Look, I guess Harry thought he was doing me a favor.

You think you're going to play with me for pay?

Now I understand.

You do?

Yes.

And now you understand.

I don't think we should wait until this plane lands to go our separate ways.

I think we should do it right now. And since you seem to have a social problem,

I'll be delighted to change seats.

Excuse me.

You can't win them all, huh, Colonel?

Yeah, I recognize you from television.

Me and the whole family watched you walk on the moon.

Dang, that was exciting.

What do you think about going next?

What I'm working on, making it up to that little boy's room.

Go fool him.

Is something wrong, sir?

Uh, yes. My, uh, judgment seems to be a little off today.

Keep him flying.

Steve, where are you?

They're going crazy around here. You had us worried. Well, that's why I called,

to let you know I'm all right.

Matter of fact, I've never felt better.

Except there is one thing.

What is it?

Well, you remember I had that glass shatter on me in the hospital.

Well, it happened to you.

Well, Steve, I ran that through a simulated laboratory condition, and I

think I've got it licked.

Were you by any chance upset or angry at the time?

Yes, I was.

Well, then that's it.

You're experiencing a power surge in your hand induced by a sudden adrenaline

increase in your system when you're angry.

It's a minor adjustment.

I'll have to wait a few days, Doc.

But don't worry, I'm not in any place where I'm liable to be getting angry.

Be seeing you.

Oh, hi there. I didn't see anybody around. The lady who arrived in that

car, is she inside?

Well, you see, I think I owe her an apology, since we're apparently going to

be neighbors.

Go home.

Go home.

Yeah, I think that's a good idea.

Perfect.

Don't ever do that to a person. You could have given me a heart attack.

Let me guess.

You're a friend of Harry's.

If you're gonna say it like that, I guess I'll just leave.

Well, that's probably a good idea.

But I think you should have a drink first.

Well, that's sort of a left-handed invitation.

Well, you made a left-handed entrance.

What do you have?

Vodka on the rocks.

The lime wedge is in the refrigerator.

Like you said, I'm a friend of Harry's.

I thought Harry just rented this place.

Well, he's rented it before.

I see.

Thank you.

What's that?

That is a moonshot.

A which?

A little number from the Cape.

Guaranteed to keep you in smooth orbit.

Tell me about the house next door.

Well, it's empty as far as I know.

No, a lady came in on the plane with me, staying there.

Is she pretty?

Yes, but that's not why I asked.

Harry said you might be a little, uh... Different?

Standoffish. He just said that I should fill you in on what's going on. You

know, like set you up with some sport fishing and line you up with the golf

pro at the country club.

Things like that.

And then he said I should stay out of your way.

That's good advice.

May I ask you a question?

Shoot.

What's the matter with you?

Well, doctors say I'm not all here.

What's missing?

Well, nothing that should prove to be of any problem in our relationship.

You mentioned a golf course.

Anytime you're ready.

How about tomorrow?

Uh, Cynthia Holland.

My friends call me Sin.

No cracks.

Sin? Uh, no cracks it is.

Alexei! Swell.

Alexei?

I didn't realize they paid you Russians enough for this kind of life.

Well, it's an American shortcoming to believe your own propaganda.

Miss Polana, Mr. Findlayter, this is... Colonel Austin, the American astronaut.

Yes, we've met.

Oh, you're all friends, then.

The Soviet government invited the crew of Apollo 19 to Moscow.

As a rocket engineer, I was one of the hosts.

But... We met on the airplane coming over. The Colonel and I were seated

together.

For a while.

Oh, what a remarkable coincidence.

Well, I don't know how long you're gonna be here, but we gotta get together.

Well, our schedule is rather full, I'm afraid, but... It was nice to see you,

Colonel. Excuse me.

Seems to me that we have met before.

I don't think so.

Well, perhaps it'll come to me.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay.

I hope it proves to be profitable.

I remind you, it's rude to leave one lady to converse with another.

Not to mention interrupting her backswing.

I saw an old friend.

Well, you don't mind my saying so. If that's the way your old friends treat

you, you ought to consider a personality course.

Maybe I should at that.

Well? Well, what? How did you do that?

It's all in the wrist.

It's addressed to you.

Thank you.

None of my business.

Well, you've been invited to dinner.

Me? You mean us?

Yes, I mean us. Would you fix me a drink?

One of those, um, moonbeams?

Shots. Moon shots.

Right, right.

May I ask who invited us to dinner tonight?

Was it your friend the Russian?

Well, matter of fact, it was the gentleman who was with him, Mr.

Finlater. You ever hear of him?

No. No, should I have?

I don't know.

Well, that makes two of us.

May I ask you another very personal question?

Sure. Do you like girls?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, yes, very much. I think they're great fun. In fact, I wanted to take one

to the moon with me.

There were some experiments I wanted to attempt in a zero-gravity situation, but

they would let me.

What you really want to know is why I haven't made a pass at you.

Well, a girl does like to think that she's attractive.

And you are.

If I was ready to open up to anybody, I think it would be you.

But, uh... Yes?

Well, I read someplace that you shouldn't be in too much of a hurry to

be rid of a hurt.

It's good for people to feel.

That's what separates us from machines and some institutions.

That's so beautiful, I think I'm gonna cry.

That's good for you, too.

Now take off your clothes.

What? Get in your bathing suit. We're going for a swim. And then we have a big

night ahead of us.

Oh,

is there anything you want good at?

Well, I've never had much success at milking reindeer.

Mr. Austin, Alexie would like to see you.

Well, I assumed he'd be joining us later with Mr. Finlater.

He would like to see you alone first.

My dear, would you cover for me?

Oh, why can't I come too?

Well, because my system is based on 1,000 continuous plays at the wheel. I

worked it out on this computer.

If we stop now, it'd cost us a fortune.

It's all right.

Two parts vodka, colossal liftoff. One part brandy, magnificent orbit.

Blend of triple sec and grenadine to bring you safely back to Earth.

There's mud in your eye.

If you gentlemen will excuse me.

Nothing would please me better than to talk of the good times we had together

in Moscow.

The vodka we drank, the women we knew, and the rules and regulations that we

broke, but... I was not happy to see you today, my friend.

That came through.

Any other time, yes, but not now, not here.

I asked you here for one reason.

You guessed what it is.

Well, I presume it was to explain what happened this morning.

You know what happened this morning.

I asked you here to suggest the possibility of working together.

Look, Alexei, I'm here on a vacation.

Isn't that why you're here?

This is no time for nationalistic games, Steve.

Divided, we play right into the hands of Findlater. Together, we can destroy him.

Look, pal, you gotta believe me when I say I don't know what you're talking

about.

Well, if that's the way you want it to be.

After our chance-unexpected meeting this morning, I had you checked.

From the beginning of the year until now, you have been involved in no NASA

activities of any substance.

On 11 separate occasions, I can place you in the same building with Oscar

Goldman, a man whose activities are quite familiar to us.

One week ago, you were in Alexandria the night Alan Finnerter's boat mysteriously

blew up. You left Alexandria that same night by means unknown.

One day ago, you arrived here aboard a flight on which an office in Washington

specifically requested a seat next to the Soviet Undersecretary of Special

External Security.

And once here, your lodgings are conveniently next door to Soviet

mission. Do you still insist that you are no more than an astronaut playboy on

holiday?

What I said was the truth. I came here for no other reason than what I told

you. Now, if you'll excuse me, Alexei, I must be going.

Thanks for the drink.

I'm sorry, Steve. Believe me, I am.

The Soviet government will meet your price... subject

to my inspection of the merchandise.

There will be no bidding.

The American is not coming.

We didn't want to do business with the Americans, Alexei. We just wanted to

drive up the price a bit.

Anyway, to the victor go the spoils.

Alexei, when do you want to make your inspection?

As soon as possible.

Some distance away. I need some time to make suitable arrangements.

Shall we say tomorrow night at the same time?

Good.

He never came back. You know whose fault it is? It's the Russians. This whole

foul-up. They overreacted, that's all.

Harry, what are we gonna do?

Well, knowing the Russians, if they got their hands on him, he's fish bait by

now.

How do you feel?

Arrested.

I should get shot more often. Not shot.

Tranquilized. It's for your own good.

Where was that decided? Moscow?

No, it was Alexis' decision.

If you really don't know what is going on, you could easily get caught in the

middle and badly hurt.

If you were telling him the truth about wanting a vacation, then you should

accept the hospitality he's extending you.

You have the run of this ship.

The best food, best drink, best fishing.

And you?

You made that mistake once before.

That doesn't answer my question.

How far did Lexi say to go to keep me here?

You better go up on deck.

No, no, fellas.

Fishing poles, not rifles.

They don't speak English.

I suppose they're here to protect me from flying fish.

The captain has orders to allow you to fish any of these waters so long as you

don't come within 20 miles of any shore.

Well, that sounds fair enough.

But now I think I'm entitled to at least one phone call.

You aren't taking this very seriously.

Well, you told me to enjoy myself.

Then you accept our terms.

A nice, relaxing excursion aboard this ship as a guest of the Soviet Union.

And you won't try to use the radio or cause trouble.

Well, what's the difference if I said yes or no?

If you say yes and give me your word, you'll find this a much more enjoyable

trip.

All right, I'm on vacation.

And if I change my mind, I give you my word, you'll be the first to know.

One moonshot coming up.

It's all right, fellas. We're operating under a new system. The honor system.

Well, so much for the honor system.

Nice move, though, guy.

It looked real good.

There is no place in our line of work for amateurs.

What could Steve Austin do that any one of us pros couldn't do better?

The whole idea was to have a diversion.

They'd be so busy watching Steve, even you could get in to get Finletter's

catalog. This won't be the first time that I've had to run for a touchdown off

a broken play.

Hey, where are you going?

To case Finletter.

I think Oscar and a lot of people have forgotten what it takes to score in the

field.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather be sport fishing?

I'm all fished out.

You haven't even been up on deck.

Look, Katrina, I think we should spend these last few minutes together.

What last few minutes?

The ones we're going to have while I'm tying you up.

What are you talking about?

You gave me your word.

That you'd be the first to know when I came off holiday.

Well, the time's come.

It'll be dark soon, and there are some things I've got to find out about.

Now, let's be civilized about this.

Look, I didn't make a big fuss over your kidnapping me, so I expect a little

reason from you.

I want to tell you how much I appreciate your making my stay most enjoyable.

That's better.

Why must you do this?

The guards will kill you.

They have their orders and they don't know any other way to stop you.

I'll be fine.

But it's miles and miles to shore.

I can't let you do it.

Sorry, I had to violate your porthole.

Steve!

Steve!

Yes, sir. We're going to try and get that catalog out of Flint Letters safe

tonight, sir.

Good, Harry. One more thing.

How did Steve take the news that he was on an operation all along?

Uh, uh, fine, sir.

I handled that very well, as a matter of fact. Fine.

I thought after a few days' rest, he might be ready to, uh, to listen to

reason.

about me handling Steve Austin, sir.

I mean, I got him here in the first place.

Steve!

Steve?

Hello? Hello?

What's going on there? Hello?

Is that you, Oscar?

Steve? How are you?

Listen, pal, the next time you want me on a mission, you lay it all out up

front, or I'll kick your department so high you'll need Skylab to get it down.

Now you get this clown out of here before I kill him.

Ow.

He hung up on the chief.

Don't worry, Steve. I'm not mad.

Look, nobody likes to be tricked, right?

This wasn't my fault.

See, you're a stubborn guy, Steve.

Oscar.

Oscar figured that we needed you.

I suppose you were in on this, too.

We knew you were friends with the Russian, and your presence would keep

them preoccupied long enough for us to get a crack at Finletter's arms catalog.

Steve, it's important that we get that catalog.

I'm not interested.

Steve. Let him go. We don't need him.

Look, if you won't do it for me, or for Harry, or for Oscar, would you do it to

get at the man who killed Tamara?

Well, if that's the truth, why didn't they tell me that in Washington?

Well, because we didn't know.

I mean, it took our people this long to get the truth.

Steve, they could have lied about it and said Bidletter was involved when they

weren't certain.

It would have been a sure way to trick you.

But Oscar wouldn't use the girl, knowing how you felt about her.

Maybe I found his limit after all.

Will you help us, Steve?

We need you.

Operating under my orders, of course.

All right.

First, I have a matter to settle with an old friend.

I'm sorry you can't enjoy the drive, Kosloff. Even at night it's lovely. I

came to see missiles, not palm trees.

So you shall.

Now make yourself comfortable because we have a long drive ahead of us.

It's not too far now.

The world's largest underground loss.

Incredible.

The SCRB sawfly missile.

A cluster warhead capable of delivering 200 megatons over a range of 3,000

miles.

How did you come to possess these weapons?

Alexei, the arrangement was...

To sell them back to you, not to give away my trade secrets.

There can only be one source.

Soviet submarine that sank two months ago. These must be her missiles.

They were her missiles.

Your catalogue also mentions Polaris missile.

I hope that you will be interested in that number, Alexei.

So, the Americans are indeed in the same unhappy boat as we.

And now let us go talk business.

Well, I got the catalog.

Thin letters as funny as a salesman's smile.

Mission's over.

It's over?

That's right.

And a lot of help you turned out to be.

It's a good thing Finletter was out all night.

It took Harry six hours to open his safe.

Well, better a little slow than no show, right?

Which reminds me, what happened to you?

Well, you can't get near those Russians that you don't pull a disappearing eye.

Never mind that. What are you saying the mission's over?

Well, because Finletter is peddling Polaris missiles to the world, and

there's no chance that he can have one. No way.

I've already called Oscar and told him we're on our way home.

Well, you better call him back.

Oh, what's this?

Where'd you get that?

From a missile in one of Finletter's silos.

Well, I don't know what you thought you saw, but it couldn't have been a

Polaris. That's the most secure weapon we've got.

Check it out.

Well, I know what I'll find. Finletter's not no fraud.

I mean, wait a minute. Look at this.

Now, he's offering an entire United States Poseidon submarine for sale with

a full complement of 16 Poseidon missiles.

Now, Steve, I don't know how familiar you are with the Poseidon, but that's so

new, I mean, they're not even launching one till the 12th of this month.

That's tomorrow.

Yeah.

Oh, come on, Steve.

I mean, this is the most impregnable warship we ever built. You're not

suggesting that... Harry, I've seen enough to know that if Finletter says

he's gonna have a Poseidon sub, I'd start locking him up at night.

You expect me to call Oscar and tell him a story like that? I expect you to make

a decision, Harry.

Not one by the book.

And not one that you think Oscar Goldman would approve.

And not one to keep your skirts clean, but one that you, Harry Donner, believes

to be the right one.

Can I ask a question?

Yeah.

What are we doing up here?

We're miles from anywhere.

Whatever's going to happen is going to happen from that underground complex,

wherever it is. Steve, there's nothing down there but water and swamps.

Happiness Place and Slumber Road.

We'll find it.

I do not understand why it was necessary to return.

Certainly, Undersecretary Villana did not need to make such a long journey. I

thought our business was complete.

Yes, that I caused love yesterday.

Except you failed to tell me about the arrangement you had made with Steve

Austin, the American.

Steve Austin is dead. We told you that. Yes, I know you did cause love.

Now, let me tell you that your dead friend this morning rented an airplane

at the municipal airport.

He's dead.

He is dead.

He must be.

We were more than 30 miles from shore.

There were no other boats.

We circled for hours.

It's impossible.

Yes, I know.

There's only one possible explanation.

That is that you are lying.

The question is why.

Man, I gotta wonder about you.

How'd you ever find the moon?

As long as we keep the ocean on our right.

There it is. It's got to be it.

What are you talking about?

This is where I leave you, Harry.

Leaving me? You mean you're just going to bail out and leave me flying around

over some cemetery? What is that?

Is this what I get for making my first independent decision?

Well, I'd say you have one more decision to make, Harry.

Yeah? What's that?

How you're going to get aboard that Poseidon submarine that was launched

today.

Steve! Steve!

What am I going to tell Oscar?

What are you doing?

How did you get here?

Well, I just dropped in to talk to the man in charge.

We are temporarily closed.

I see.

Well, this is kind of an emergency.

Say, would you mind not pointing that thing directly at me?

My orders are to keep everybody off the property.

Perhaps there's somebody inside I could talk to.

I said we're closed.

Now, either you... What is it? You're just the man I want to see.

I want to look at your selection of caskets.

I'm gonna be needing one right away.

This is perfect.

It's gonna be just fine.

I don't think you're interested in the caskets.

Now then... If I were you, I wouldn't fire that.

I told you.

Those monitors, you see a United States Poseidon submarine.

and 16 long-range Poseidon missiles.

Now, she'll be within our waters in two hours.

And there she'll be the first of many to join my fleet.

Take any of the oil-rich Arab countries, for example.

There'll no longer be a need to train, equip, or man the land, army, navy, or

air force.

Just one Poseidon submarine and 16 missiles would be sufficient to

devastate any two of our enemies and have enough firepower left over to

incinerate a third.

It would be called the Six-Minute War.

This way, please.

A nuclear submarine must be attacked from within.

And in less time than it takes a wireless operator to trigger a pre-taped

SOS signal.

But the same line of communication that protects a nuclear fleet can

also be turned against her.

Now, if this goblet were placed aboard a submarine 500 miles away

by merely transmitting a special signal, one could shatter a glass into a

million pieces one could use that principle to get something slightly more

deadly aboard the submarine

now

this canister contains what is known as g14 nerve gas it is colorless odorless

and painless yet death occurs within 30 seconds from time of exposure

As you can see, there are only two masks.

Miss Wallana, will you put one of them on, please?

Now, Alexei, tell me again.

What arrangements did you make with the Americans?

None.

Very well.

If you'll be so kind as to keep your eyes on that rat, and at precisely the

right moment, a signal will be dispatched.

You'll be able to hold your breath for perhaps two minutes.

That rat will last but 30 seconds.

You have less than one minute to live, Alexei.

Stop it here! He is telling the truth!

So, we work together after all, my friend.

Hang on, Alexei. We'll get you out of here. No.

If there isn't time, you must stop him. He will... Alexei, don't talk. We'll

find a way.

Who is this guy, Donner?

He's some kind of intelligence officer.

It's not that I don't want to be cooperative, Mr.

Donner, but guess what is it that we're looking for?

This will keep you from any further mischief, Mr. Austin.

You know, Austin, I've been watching you with fascination.

Your ability to swim extraordinary speeds and distances, knock down

concrete walls and survive on a minimum of oxygen for an inordinate length of

time.

I don't know what you are.

But you know, from what I've seen, you have great commercial possibilities. And

when this operation is over, I intend to seriously investigate the possibility of

making you the newest entry.

in my fall catalog.

What about me?

Why are you keeping me alive?

Really, dear.

Anyway, meanwhile, this will sedate you.

You might have notions about escaping with your apparent strength.

Would you mind giving that to me in my left arm? I don't want to ruin my

tennis, sir.

Yes, definitely into his right arm.

Now, if you manage to stay awake, you...

Might want to watch the capture of the Poseidon on the monitor. It will reach

shallow shores of our waters within about ten minutes.

Nine minutes and counting.

I'm not sure that I understand just how this works, Mr.

Donner. Now, you say that there are these people hiding underneath this

cemetery, and they're going to come out and steal this warship.

We must do something.

He's going to kill all those men. Try to stay awake.

Katrina, would you stop talking?

I have to keep talking. I have to help you ward off the effects.

In Russia, they say all American men are soft.

We rise to the occasion.

Four minutes and counting.

We've got to keep him from transmitting that signal.

How do we do that?

That's the question.

Two minutes and counting.

The Poseidon is entering the shallow shore.

Two minutes and counting.

One minute and counting.

45 seconds and counting.

Too late.

Thirty seconds and counting.

Fifteen seconds and counting.

Standby signal burst.

Ten seconds.

Five, four, three, two.

Here, take my hand.

How can you see where you're going?

I eat a lot of carrots.

It's a duty of emergency power.

There they are. Stop them.

Then here.

Power's back on. They'll still be able to release the lurkers.

The power, yes, but the transmitter has sung its last song.

There's no other way out, is there?

See if you can get the plate off that ventilator.

That's how to do it. What are you talking about?

Just fixing up a little surprise for Finlater when he opens silo number

seven.

Hurry with the charge.

I don't even see where it comes out.

This is frightening.

Don't look down.

There's no way out. They must be in one of those silos.

Silo one.

Maybe we should have taken our chances with Finn better.

I guarantee our relationship was heading for a blow-up.

Try number two.

Oh, I'm exhausted.

I smell salt air, love.

Move.

They must be in one of those silos.

There is nowhere else they could be.

Let's rest for a while, eh?

You sit down. You'll never get up again in this lifetime.

Silo 6.

Yes.

Of course, the Polaris. The Americans with the American missile.

As for a princess named Tamara, and a friend named Alexei... I think I

understand better why they say American men are soft.

Well, like I said, we rise to the occasion.

my man yeah let me tell you about him can't do without

him he's one of a kind now he's the man

now he's the man oh catch

him if you can't beat him if you can't
