All language subtitles for The Greatest American Hero s03e07 Live at Eleven

Look at what's happened to me

I can't believe it myself

Suddenly I'm up on top of the world

It should have been somebody else

Believe it or not I'm walking on air

I never thought I could feel so free

Flying away on a wing and a prayer

Who could it be

Believe it or not it's just me

Just like the light of a new day

It hit me from out of the blue

Breaking me out of the spell I was in

Making all of my wishes come true

Believe it or not I'm walking on air

I never thought I could feel so free

Flying away on a wing and a prayer

Who could it be

Believe it or not it's just me

Who could it be

Believe it or not it's just me

Bill, hurry up.
I'm gonna be late.

Come on. Let's go. Will you please
calm down?

You're gonna be okay.
You're on time.

Of course, you may miss the first
round of the hors d'oeuvres,

but, uh, they're probably gonna serve those
little, breaded hot dogs in the ketchup sauce.

Pam's law firm is not gonna serve
breaded hot dogs in ketchup sauce...

at a reception
for Henry Williams.

Aw, come on. Just because the guy
rides anchor for network news...

don't mean he don't have fast
food in his good American veins.

Come on. Down underneath all that stuff in a
"gazer phraser," he's just a guy with a deadline.

You have the most incredible way
of reducing almost anything...

to its most trivial metaphor.

For instance,
Einstein was "running numbers."

Michelangelo was
"doing ceilings."

And now you talk about one of America's
foremost journalists at his retirement...

as if he was writing obits
for the Bakersfield Gazette.

Bill, we're talking about
a very important man here.

If he's so important, uh, he ain't
gonna lose any sleep if Ralph Hinkley...

is 10 minutes late to his
cocktail party, now, is he?

Better late than never may hold
true for most things in life,

but can we afford to be late when
it comes to tough regulations...

regarding storage of radioactive material?

And that concludes part three
of "The Plutonium Predicament."

Tomorrow we'll look at the effects of
exposure to radiation, and on Friday...

we will go live to the El Adobe
Nuclear Power Plant.

This is Henry Williams
signing off.

What a wonderful series.

I don't think I'm even gonna be able
to watch the news after he leaves.

His forced retirement
is a travesty.

So you won't see him
at 7:00 every night.

Wouldn't you rather see him
in charge of the country?

He hasn't said he'd run. He hasn't even
hinted at it. He may not have a choice.

The latest Gallup Poll shows Henry Williams
to be the most recognizable man in America,

and last week
the University of Texas...

published a list of the 10 most
popular people in the world.

Henry was one of them,
right up there with Mick Jagger.

Well, I still say he won't run. But if
anyone could talk him into it, you could.

Oh, Pamela, may I have
a few of those, please?

Uh, sure. Here.

Oh, no. It's Hinkley.

Oh, never mind.
It's close enough for politics.

Ralph, Ralph!

Where have you been, honey? You're almost
half an hour late. Oh, honey, you know Bill.

We were on a stakeout and he kept
saying, "Five minutes, five minutes."

Before I knew it it was 2:00.
Have I missed him?

No, he isn't scheduled to arrive
till about now. Come with me.

I have to make sure there are
plenty of hors d'oeuvres. Hors d'oeuvres?

They got you doing hors d'oeuvres?
Isn't that a bit, uh, sexist?

I mean, uh, here you are, the only female in
the firm, and you're doing hors d'oeuvres.

Honey, this job happens to be
a very large responsibility.

Only an insecure woman
would find it sexist.

Well, that's very nice, honey. I have to be
bedridden before you bring me a cup of coffee.

And here you are playing
waitress to a bunch of strangers.

This is for Henry Williams.
Honey, do me a favor.

Take this to the guys parking the cars
out front. They're probably hungry.

Thank you.

Well, now, that is
what I call service.

Not only do they drive me up
here in a limousine,

but they've got a fellow here standing
at the curb waiting to feed me. Oh!

Hi. I'm Henry Williams.

Uh, hello. I see you're Ralph,
uh, "Hunkley."

Hinkley, actually. Sir, I've long admired
you. I'm sorry to see you retiring.

That's very kind of you,
Mr. "Hickle."

But, please,
don't let my wife hear you say that.

Henry, they are
waiting for you.

Oh, fine, Chuck. I'll be right there.
Awfully nice meeting you, Ralph.

And you, Henry.

It's around back here. All right.

We want Henry! We want Henry!

We want Henry!
We want Henry!

We want Henry!
We want Henry!

We want Henry!

We want Henry! We want Henry!

Thank you.
Thank you.

Ralph, honey! Guess what.

Sherwood Dawes just told me that Henry Williams
wants to talk to me about some legal advice.

I think it has something to do with the
news special he's doing on plutonium.

Well, can you believe it?
Iam going to advise Henry Williams!

- Well, I think future President Williams.
- We want Henry!

I had the suit on underneath,
and when I was shaking his hand...

out in the front yard,
I... I got these vibes.

This man is definitely gonna run for
presidency, and I have a feeling that...

your firm's gonna be the firm
that's gonna help put him there. No!

Yeah! Quiet, quiet, please. Quiet.

Henry, I've been your friend
for a long time,

and your lawyer
for almost as long,

so you know I'd be lying if I pretended
this is merely a retirement party.

I'll say. Nobody even
gave me my gold watch yet.

Well, on behalf of this law firm, I'd
like to give you more than a gold watch.

We would all like to be the people
who put you on the ballot...

for the president
of the United States!

Thank you, Woody,
I... I'm really very grateful for your...

Your feelings of trust
and confidence.

But I... I do have to say that when
this old journalist finally retires,

all he wants is to catch up
on some of his fishing.

But I do thank you, Woody, and especially
the members of that fine law firm.

You make me feel...
Well, you all make me feel...

very, very good.

Thank you. Thanks, folks.

Maybe he's stalling.

I don't know, hon.
His mind seems pretty well made up.

I better get these goin'.
See you later.

This is Cole.

Yes, Mr. Cole.
We're all ready to go.

- Any problems over there?
- No. No problems.

All right. Go for it.

Sherwood.Chuck.

Very nice affair.

Pam, may I? Uh, sure.
Help yourself.

Ralph, what are you doing?
Someone might see you!

Some guys are breaking into
the lab at the N.R.T.

I gotta go. You just got here!

- I've been looking over this report, Maxwell.
- Yes, sir. And?

Dangling participles, no subject-verb
agreement, misspelled words...

Well, you know, I mean, the secretarial
pool is really falling off...

with those typos and everything, and I've
always had a problem between "who" and "whom."

But you always get
the drift, sir.

Maxwell, does the phrase "pride in
one's work" mean nothing to you?

Look at this report that I did
a couple of years ago. Hmm?

Look at the margins,
the double spacing. Hmm?

Oh, I'll bet with the best of these, your mommy
used to stick 'em to the refrigerator door.

This is not a joke.Ahh.

I want every report you've handed
in over the last month done over,

and I want it
by the end of the week.

Laugh that off!
Bill! Come in, Bill!

What was that? Um, what was what, sir?

Bill, I'm heading for
the N.R.T. processing plant.

Sounds like one of those
little mice from a Disney movie.

Oh, no, it's my stomach, sir.
It's, uh...

It's really acting up with these
antacids and everything, and...

Bill, can you hear me? It's the plutonium
storage vault. Someone's breaking into it.

Maxwell! Uh, sir, I'm really
not feeling too hot,

and it... This isn't regulation.
What is this?

Well, I'm studying Spanish, so every
time I get a second, I just flip that...

and it's...
What is this, Maxwell?

Who's on the other end
of this thing? Bill, can you hear me?

Uh...

Maxwell! I'm sorry, sir.

I gotta go.

Hold it! Just drop it.

- Who are you?
- Put it down.

Ralph! You're...
You're glowing!

Bill! Don't come any closer.
This is plutonium. Get out of here!

Bill, get outta here!

Bill, I told you
to get outta here.

Bill, you all right?

No kiddin'?
That was plutonium, the big "P"?

Yes, it was. Come on. We got to get out
of here. Oh, boy. Well, that's it, Ralph.

I mean, come on. We're finished. They're gonna
be cuttin' us up for bicycle reflectors.

Bill, we're all right.
Well, you... yeah, maybe.

You got the suit on, but not me.
Tomorrow I start to peel.

The rest of my hair
goes in the sink.

Okay. You in the funny suit,
both of you, right there!

Now, I-I... I know this
looks kind of funny, but...

Oh, this is Agent Bill
Maxwell with the F.B.I.

He needs medical attention. Look. Don't-Don't
touch it. It might be radioactive.

Uh, now, lookit. The guys you're
lookin' for are gettin' away.

Yeah. You look like
the guys we want right here.

Yeah. It's getting dim here, Ralph.
I can hardly see my watch.

I can't get a pulse.
Even this ticker stopped.

Gentlemen, please. I... Forget about
me and take care of Agent Maxwell.

Please. Forget about me and
take care of Agent Maxwell.

Sure, pal.
Everything's all right.

Get an ambulance,
and I'll check out the building.

- Everything's gonna be all right.
- Yeah. A lot you know.

Joints are seizin' up.
Uh!

Bill, did you see that?

I mean, these guys did
what I told 'em to do.

Yeah, I noticed. It's like you
had a power over 'em or somethin'.

I mean, I-I... I just thought to
myself "do it," and they did it.

It's like I controlled
their minds.

Ralph, you're telling me you
can dowhat with your mind?

Well, honey,
it's kind of hard to explain.

No, counselor, it is not hard to explain.
Just think of it this way...

He can have us both jumping off of
bridges every time he gets a headache.

Bill, you make everything
sound so... trivial, so trite.

It's a little bit more complicated
than that. You're giving me a headache.

I wish I had some coffee. You two clam up.
This is Henry Williams's segment.

It's on exposure to radiation,
and that I want to see.

...and the controversy surrounding
yesterday's break-in and aborted theft...

at the N.R.T.
reprocessing plant will continue.

Nuclear opponents will claim
that labs are not impregnable.

Proponents will contend that burglary attempts
have not and never will be successful.

For the three men exposed to
plutonium in the break-in,

symptoms will become evident immediately,

beginning with severe nausea,
headaches and hair loss.

Uncontrollable nervous twitching,
convulsions and hemorrhaging will follow.

This is Henry Williams
signing off.

Oh, gee louise!
Here, I'm gettin' it out right now!

Oh, boy.
What a way to go!

Bill, this has absolutely nothing to do
with you. You did not touch the plutonium.

As a matter of fact, you barely even saw it. Now,
the doctor said you can get up and go home.

Well, he just wants
to get rid of me...

so I won't keep the other patients
awake at night, glowing in the dark.

Bill, why don't you get out of
bed and get dressed and go home?

On the other hand, why don't I get
up, get dressed and go home?

Eh-heh!
This place is so boring anyhow.

- You made him do that?
- Who made who do what?

See my socks?
You guys... Anybody see my socks?

I don't know if I did or I didn't. I
mean, I haven't had this power very long,

and I... I don't know when I
control it or when I don't.

But I think it has something
to do with concentrating.

You think being exposed to the plutonium while
you had the suit on made this power come out?

Well, it's the only explanation that I can come
up with. Boy, and speaking of explanations,

I wish I had one for the holograph
that I got off of Cole's telephone.

- What do you mean? What explanation?
- Well, honey,

there has to be some kind of a connection
between Cole's telephone and the crime.

- I mean, otherwise, why would I get the holograph?
- Well, maybe it was a tip.

I mean, these guys are network newsmen, and
Henry's been doing this special on plutonium.

- Maybe.
- Oh, come on, Ralph!

Don't tell me you think Chuck
Cole is involved in this crime!

- Honey, don't get so upset. I mean, it's merely a suspicion.
- Well, I am upset!

Well, don't be upset.

All right. I won't be.

Wha... I saw that.

You zapped the counselor, Ralph. Lady,
you better keep an eye on your husband.

- There's no tellin' what he's gonna have you doin' next.
- Oh, come on, Bill!

You're making me crazy with all this stuff.
I mean, you give me a migraine.

- Honey, would you go out and get me some coffee, please?
- Yeah. Sure.

- Ralph, you did it again!
- Ralph!

What? What?

I-I... I just asked you very nicely...

to get me coffee,
and that's what you were gonna go do.

- Bill, come on.
- Ha-ha!

- Yeah? What about Bill?
- What?

Ten minutes ago you were
laying on your deathbed.

Now you're all dressed
and ready to go out.Oh.

Yeah. Well, no. That's, uh,
because I wanted to, uh, change my clothes,

and because I, uh...
Because I felt like it.

Yeah. Come on.
You think that the kid has got a hold...

on the old Iron Mind Maxwell, you got another
think coming, because that's not... that's...

I mean...
Ralph, that's a cheap shot.

You have no business messing
around with the mind of a sick man.

Bill, you are not a sick man,
and I'm not messing around with your mind.

- You're just... picking up on my vibes, that's all.
- Gimme a break. Your "vibes."

Next thing we know,
you're gonna have me and the counselor...

wandering around here like
a couple of cocker spaniels,

- bringing you your slippers and the evening paper!
- Yeah.

You guys gimme a break? I'm not gonna abuse
the power. You know me better than that.

Did you want cream and sugar in your
coffee? No. Black is fine, thank you.

Uh!

Just thought vibes.

Hello?
Yeah, Cole? It's Canton.

Listen, pal. We got some problems here.
I think Jenkins is really sick.

What's the matter with him?
Don't you listen to your own news?

We got blasted yesterday
in that lab.

Every scientist in the country figures we got
slapped with a lethal dose of radiation.

Well, what about that fed you ran into? I'm
sure he got exposed just like you guys did,

and the hospital's
released him already.

And the other guy who caught you? I haven't
heard anything about him having problems.

Yeah. Well, he must have been
wearing a special suit or something.

Besides, we actually touched that
stuff, so something must have happened.

Now, we need medical attention.
If we don't get it fast,

you're gonna have some pretty
unpleasant problems on your hands.

Okay, just stay calm.
Don't panic.

Well, we can't do anything in the city because
the cops will be swarming all over you.

I need to find a doctor
that owes me a favor.

In the meantime,
can Jenkins still do his job?

Jenkins will do his part.

You just make sure
you do yours.

- Uh, you wanted to see me, sir?
- There he is... the bureau's resident glowworm.

Oh, oh, yeah. Well, no.
The doc gave me a complete okay.

Um, I'm certified,
everything's fine, no problem.

I'm so relieved. Here I was afraid
you were gonna leave the department...

and rent yourself out
as a night-light.

What the hell were you doing
at that plant, Maxwell?

One minute we're talking
about your reports.

The next thing I know, you're over
at N.R.T. stopping a plutonium theft.

How? Well, we all have, uh,
anonymous tips, right?

- It's got something to do with this, doesn't it?
- Oh, yeah. I reme...

Uh, you have...
I forgot about that. Yeah, yeah.

I really could have used that in the hospital. I
was supposed to be conjugating my Spanish verbs.

You don't learn Spanish from this!
How stupid do you think I am?

Well, I don't know, sir.

Let me explain to you what we're
gonna do with this gadget, Bill.

We're gonna put this little
thing right here. Hmm?

And we're gonna wait
for it to talk to us.

This? This.

Things are real slow for you
this afternoon, huh, sir? Terrible.

Boring! Ooh.

But you know what? I have a definite
feeling that with this on my desk,

and you in my office,
things are gonna pick up.

Hey, you guys.
Knock it off!

Knock it off!

Knock it off.

Thank you.

Did anyone happen to read The Open Window
by Saki that I assigned last night?

- Sure.
- - Hey, don't take that from him!

Throw your book at him.
Throw your book at him!

You know, I bet I could find some good
stories in there if I read 'em all.

Hey, hey, here's a great one
on page 63.

Sixty-three?

Sixty-three.

Uh, listen. Uh, why don't you uh, enjoy the
stories, and I'll be back in a few minutes.

All right?
I have to step out.

Bill? Can you hear me?
Come in, Bill.

Oh, yeah. Some of those tapes
go by so fast that you can't... Shut up.

Really understand the Spanish. Maxwell,
I'm trying to listen.

Shut up, Maxwell!

- I think there's probably...
- I'm heading for the KJV-TV news station.

KJV-TV news. Shall we go, Bill?
We'll take my car.

Well, things seem to be
going pretty well. I think so too.

Then why do you
look so worried?

I beg your pardon?
I thought so.

That's Henry Williams!

That's
Henry Williams!

Boss, get down!

Ralph! Bill!

I think he's dead.
I don't know.

He must have already been sick,
because I barely hit the guy. Maxwell!

What happened?

Uh... Uh, well,
this guy's dead.

I gotta call the coroner,
get an ambulance up here.

You've done it again. Huh?

I-I don't know how,
but you've done it again.

But this time, at least we know where
you're getting these anonymous tips.

It comes from this,
and I've got it.

I've got it.
Oh, and I'm giving it to you.

It is yours. Oh, thanks.

Ni-Nice going.

Thanks, boss.

Where'd that come from, Bill?

It's a long story. Uh, Billy?

Uh, if you're ready.Yeah. Sure, boss.

Honey, would you like some of
these leftover hors d'oeuvres?

No, thank you. Maybe I'll save them
for Bill.

Pam, you know you're gonna
have to warn Henry about Cole.

Ralph, he has asked me to help
him out with some legal details.

He has not asked me to
become his personal advisor.

Well, he does trust you,
and he respects you.

So you're gonna have to talk to him
about it while you're riding out...

to the El Adobe Power Plant.
And what would you like me to tell him?

That my husband has had a weird
holograph about his administrative aide?

You can't exactly bring that into a court
of law, you know. I need some more facts.

Can I make you a sandwich? Well, hon,
you're gonna have some more facts.

I mean, Bill is checking
out Cole right now.

Well, I hope he's also able
to come up with a reason...

for Chuck Cole to be doing the
things you claim he's been doing,

because it all sounds
pretty outrageous.

Honey, it is not
that outrageous.

On the other hand,
it's not so outrageous.

No, it's not, really.
Now, I had a suspicion from the first,

- maybe Henry Williams was somehow involved in this crime.
- Oh, Ralph.

But then after the attempt on his
life, I figured that,

well, he probably didn't have
anything to do with it at all.

How terribly
open-minded of you.

Well, honey,
the suit doesn't lie.

The vibes I got said that Henry
Williams is running for presidency...

despite what he is
telling everybody.

Now, I know for a fact that Cole
is involved with this crime.

And I thought given the
relationship of the two men,

that maybe Henry Williams was somehow
involved in the, uh, whole crime.

What would Henry want to do
with stealing plutonium?

Well, it would substantiate what he
predicted on his television show.

Fabulous publicity.
Come on. Give me a break.

It's what every candidate
looks for, relies on heavily.

Now, it's a prime example of abuse of power.
I mean, you've seen it a million times.

I'm sure.

As a matter of fact,
I'm married to it.

Huh?

Knock off the innocent routine,
Ralph. Look at you.

You've been zapping me with your mind
through this entire conversation.

- I think that's rotten.
- No, I haven't.

No, you haven't.

Yes, you have, Ralph!
Look at me.

I have made you lunch, gotten you mayonnaise,
napkins. I've even cleaned a window for you.

I don't remember wanting to do any of these
things. I am just in a hurry to get out of here.

Honey, it's not my fault.

I know.
It's... not your fault.

Ralph, that's not
what I wanted to say.

I wanted to say that itis your fault.
Will you just let me say that?

Honey, you can say
anything you want to say.

No. I say what
you want me to say.

Honey, that's not true.

No. It's not true.

- Ralph, stop it!
- I'm not doing anything!

Yes, you are. No, I'm not.

No. You're not.

Ralph! Honey, what are you doing?

I'm... I was just
playing a game.

Honey, I'm-I'm having
a little fun. Gimme a break.

Come on, honey.
Honey. Honey! Jerk!

Ralph, will you put a lid on the mushy
love stuff, and let's get on the case here.

I ran a deep check
on this Chuck Cole.

We got a real card-carrying
hot dog here.

I can't believe it. I mean,
I'm just having a little bit of fun.

- Bill, I got this new power, and I'm testing it out.
- Uh, Ralph? Um, Chuck Cole?

This geek, turns out,
was a spearhead...

behind almost every campus protest
in the country during the '60s.

Boy, been spending so much time in the courtroom
she has no sense of humor at all anymore.

He caused so many headaches
for the department, Ralph,

that the computer popped four red
flags on his name and yelled, "Tilt."

The only thing I can't figure out is why
Williams has got a guy like that as an advisor,

unless he doesn't know. I don't know.
Maybe I abused the power, Bill.

She says I did. I mean, she called me a jerk.
She called me a jerk. I'm a jerk, Bill.

Oh, all right, Ralph.
Have it your way. You're a jerk.

You don't have to agree
with me, Bill.

I'm trying to get your attention and it ain't
always easy. Would you rather I step on your foot?

Now, would you listen up,
please, kid?

I dropped Jenkins name in the computer
next, and lo and behold, sure enough,

him and Cole were running mates
in the underground in the '60s.

So, uh, Cole probably hired, uh, Jenkins and
the rest of them just the way we thought.

Ralph, please try to come to the party
here. What you need is some fresh air.

Gonna do you a world of good.
Let's go.

Where are we going? Chuck Cole's house.

You know, the mind push can be
used to do good things, Bill.

I know it can. You bet your
red booties, kid.

You're gonna have bad guys
spilling their guts...

like we was giving away a set of
dishes with the best confession.

You know, I used it on the kids because I wanted
them to do some more reading, and it worked.

Maybe we could do away with
the whole jury system. Boy.

I don't know. I guess I was letting
it get a little bit out of hand.

Pamela was right.
I was beginning to abuse the power.

Well, we got a chance to bust the big
red machine itself. Boy, think of that.

I'm glad it's beginning
to fade though.

I probably won't even have to go
in the office later on.

I can just, you know, phone it all in.
Uh, what's starting to fade?

- The mind push. I'm losing it.
- Wha...

Wait a minute.
No, you can't, kid. Not yet!

All I know, Bill, it's getting harder to do, and
every time I use it I'm getting a headache.

Well, there's aspirin there in the glove
compartment. Now, just rest and take it easy now,

and don't tap in to your juice
till we get to Cole's house.

Hello?

Mr. Cole?

Yeah. Well, if he was supposed to be
the bad guy, we got big problems now.

Bill, look at this equipment.
He had a camera, tape recorder, and a TV.

Yeah. Looks like ol' Chuckie was
deep into home movies all right.

Maybe they got the whole
thing down on tape.

We'll know in a second.
Maybe we get lucky.

All I know, you weren't keeping
your promise, Mr. Cole.

You weren't getting us medical attention.
You were setting us up, weren't you?

No, no.
That's... not true.

If you want me to prove it, I can call the
doctor. You can talk to him yourself. Here.

He must have known these guys were coming,
so he turned his cameras on to nail 'em.

Look. You sold out, Cole.

You were just pretending
to be what you once were.

But underneath,
you're like the others... like Williams.

That's okay, 'cause we've got a big surprise
waiting for all of them at El Adobe.

There's no way you could get
past the security at that place.

No. Maybe a couple of
Henry Williams's aides could.

Why don't we just wipe the slate
clean and start over with all this?

No, Mr. Cole!
There's no starting over.

I mean, the radiation's
taken care of that.

We're all dead men.
And now, so are you.

No!

I wonder what kind of surprise they're
planning out at the Adobe Power Plant.

I don't know, but whatever it is, it
does not include paper hats and balloons.

Wait a minute now. Pam said she was going to
help Henry Williams with some legal work.

What are you
talking about, today? Today.

She was going out there
when she left.

Kid, I think you better hit the friendly skies.
I'll call this in, and I'll see you out there.

Hello, can I help you? Yes, uh, we're with
Henry Williams.

He's doing an interview here
this afternoon.

- Yes, I believe I'll be speaking to him myself later.
- Well, we'd like to go in...

and maybe take a look around, uh,
speak to a couple of your electricians...

so as we can check the lighting for the
camera. Sure. May I have your names?

Yes, uh, my name is Chuck Cole,
Mr. Williams's administrative aide,

and this gentleman here
is Mr. John Fields.

Well, I have your name, Mr. Cole,
but I don't have Mr. Fields.

Well, he is my assistant. Uh,
I probably just forgot to clear his name.

Tell you what. Why don't you call
the station and check it out?

Well, it's okay. If you can't trust Henry
Williams's people, who can you trust?

Here. Uh, put these hats
and badges on,

and, uh, I'll have somebody
come out and take you inside.

Schneider, would you come to the
visitors' station right away, please?

Did you get Cole yet?
Oh. Well, keep trying him.

I don't know.
Maybe he's out there waiting for us.

Yeah. Yeah.
I'll talk to you later.

Well, Mr. Williams, I've just looked over
the research you've done on El Adobe.

It's quite impressive. So far everything
I've read seems legally sound.

Actually, Pamela, I didn't ask you to join me
so that we could talk about these papers or...

Or even this interview.

See, when I run for president, I'm
going to need a good campaign chairman.

Run for president?

I thought you said at the party... You
told everyone you weren't gonna run.

I think you'll to consider that a gentle
tease. It's how these games are played.

Well, it's like the news. You have to
give them a big, important headline,

or they...
They won't read the story.

Unfortunate but true. I don't believe it.

I was so convinced. You know, I even had
an argument with my husband about it.

- He disagreed with me.
- Well, there are those out there, of course,

who simply won't bite, but most people,
by and large, are quite easily manipulated.

All you need is
the proper... style.

At any rate,
I want you to be my campaign chairman.

- Oh, or in this case, chairwoman.
- Me?

Well, I'm very flattered.

But I don't know anything about
running a political campaign.

Besides, uh,
shouldn't that job go to Mr. Dawes?

Oh, well, Woody will be doing
most of the work, that's true.

But I need someone up there
in front of the people.

Now, you're young, bright,
intelligent, attractive...

and besides,
you are a woman.

Now, that can be a big plus
in a campaign like this.

You see, Pamela,
it's all image.

Everything is image.

Oh, I'll give you some time
to make up your mind.

But I'm sure you realize even now that
this could be a big boost to your career.

Okay, tell me exactly.
What is it you want me to do?

It's very simple. We want you to
cause a generator and a turbine trip.

Uh. That could take a lot of time...
uh, maybe a couple of hours.

It'll take less than 30 minutes. All you gotta
do is bridge 12 circuits to the master turbine.

Now, let's go.

You know, this is a federal offense.
You could go to prison for life for this.

We've got nothing
to worry about.

Henry,
how are you doing? Oh, okay.

Okay. We'll do your opening
sequence out here.Uh-huh.

And then we'll move inside for
interviews with staff personnel.

Have you seen
Chuck Cole? Step right there.

I mean, did he get here first? I haven't
been able to contact him all day.

No. No, I haven't seen him yet.
That's a nice opening shot,

just you and the power lines
in the background.

- That's good, Henry.
- Thank you. Yeah, yeah. I got it.

- Bill? Come in, please.
- Yeah. I got you, kid. What do you find?

Well, I don't know exactly
what I'm looking for.

Uh, it's like
a maze out here.

Henry's here and he's setting up his cameras and
stuff outside, but, uh, I can't get anything.

- Not even a holograph?
- Wait a minute, Bill.

I think I see something
I might be able to use.

Talk to you later.

Here you go, Ken.
Well, let's take a look.

Hey, what's that?

We're on a turbine trip.

Here. I'll take that. What am I supposed
to do now?

Go on.
Get out of here.

On tonight's final segment of
"The Plutonium Predicament,"

we will be talking with the people
who work and who run the power plant.

- Hey, somebody shut off that alarm!
- This is a scram situation.

What on earth is going on?

Attention. This is an emergency.

Everybody clear the area.
This is not a drill.

- We'd better get out of here.
- Well, where is Chuck Cole? He's supposed to be here!

Oh, this is all too premature!

- Get out of here.
- What is Chuck trying to do to me?

What have you been
trying to do to us?

We give this two more minutes,
then we gotta get the hell outta here.

Hold it, you guys.

All right. What'd you do?
Bust a cable or something? Tell me.

Are you crazy
or something?

Tell me.
Tell... Tell me.

We bridged 12 circuits
causing a turbine trip.

- Where are the circuits?
- That way, past the cooling pool.

Okay, freeze it right there.
Maxwell, F.B.I.

Bill, you're on your own.
I gotta fix a turbine.

Smart kid.

Try the turbine reset switch
again and see if it works.

Wait a minute.

It's coming back.

We're gonna be okay.

And although the situation
appeared critical for a time,

safety backup systems at El Adobe
Nuclear Power Plant proved invincible...

to even the staunchest
antinuke supporter.

I don't know if I can do this.
I mean, I can feel the power slipping.

- It's gonna give me an incredible headache.
- And that concludes my series,

"The Plutonium Predicament."

Honey, you have to try,
otherwise we could all end up...

with a power-crazed lunatic
in the White House.

All right. Try!

It also marks the end of...

30 wonderful years in a
profession that has enabled me...

to not only to follow
history in the making,

but to have the privilege
of bringing it into your homes.

So, now at the end
of my final broadcast,

perhaps I can share with you
a little philosophy...

that has helped me all
my years as a journalist.

News is only news
when you get it first.

After that, it's history.

And after all
the work I've done...

to get it first,

this network has seen fit
to cause me to retire.

Well, I can play
that game too.

I did this plutonium series
for a reason,

and I milked it
for all it was worth.

Why, I even staged the
plutonium theft at N.R.T...

and produced my own
assassination attempt.

Why, I wasn't just getting
the news first, I was making it.

And you believed me
because I'm Henry Williams.

And because you believe me,

every single one of you
will vote for me,

and I will become the next
president of the United States!

Yes. The next president of
the United States of America!

You see,
I made all of you love me.

The guy's lost his bananas.
Get him out of there. Go to commercial.

Ralph... Ralph, you did it.
It worked!

You couldn't help it.
I have you...

He split the whole enchilada right
on national TV. I can't believe it!

Honey? Honey, are you okay?
Say something!

Ralph? Aspirin.

Now, how's that? Does that feel any better?

That feels gr-r-reat.

I wonder who's massaging Henry
Williams's head this morning.

Bet his headache's a lot worse than yours.
Aw, you can count on that.

Every time I think about how I was almost
duped by that guy, it makes me sick.

Well, honey, don't feel bad.
I mean, the guy duped a lot of people.

Hm.He was a real super-duper.

Just... Just a joke. You know what I mean.
He had a lot of power over people.

Well, so do you. I had a lot of power.

It's gone? Yeah. Last of it went
with the push I gave to Henry.

Well, to be honest with you,
I'm glad it's gone.

I'd much rather be doing things
for you because I want to.

Mmm.

Ah, Ralph? Aw, boy,
am I glad I got you home. Ha-ha!

Counselor... Mrs. H.? Can you believe that?
I'm calling you Mrs. H. Already.

I don't believe this. Officer.
How's everything going, Bill?

Uh, well, the way I'm doing
is this officer, uh,

stopped me just down the street a
couple of blocks... real nice guy...

And I suggested he could come
up here with me if he would.

Um, he wants to give me a
citation, because of, uh...

Because you can't drive a
car with an expired plate.

Yeah. Right. So, I-I... I suggested
that if he'd come to your house,

which was real close, that you'd be
the one person in the whole world...

that could explain
to him... why.

See, Officer, the reason this man doesn't
have this year's sticker on his car...

is because, uh, he forgot to
buy the sticker for this year.

Sign here, please.

On the line.
