[thunder and lightning]

[music playing over radio]

[Man on radio]
We interrupt our programming

to give you a special news report.

A low pressure ridge
is lying just off the coast

and is pumping moisture in
from the trailing edge

of a hurricane that is slowly
moving out to sea

after devastating
the West Coast of Mexico.

Travelers warnings have been
issued for route five

and 395 and for all secondary
mountain roads in the area.

There are numerous reports
of bridges flooded

and motorists are urged
to check with their auto club

or the division of highways
for the latest information

on hazardous road conditions.

We now return to our
regularly scheduled program.

[music resumes]

[tires screeching]

[crashes]

[tense music]

[siren wailing]

[music continues]

[Man 1] It looks good
at NASA One.

[Man 2] Roger.
BCS Arm Switch is on.

[Man 1] Okay, Victor.

[Man 2] Landing Rocket
Arm Switch is on.

Here comes the throttle.
Circuit breakers in.

- [Steve] We have separation.
- [Man 1] Roger.

[Man 2] Inboards and outboards
are on.

I'm coming forward
with the side stick.

- [Man 1] All looks good.
- [Man 2] Uh, Roger.

[Steve] I've got a blow out,
damper three!

- [Man 1] Get your pitch to zero.
- [Steve] Pitch is out!

[Steve] I can't hold altitude!

[Man 2] Correction,
Alpha Hold is off.

Turn selectors... Emergency!

[Steve] Flight Com,
I can't hold it.

She's breaking up.
She's breaking...

[whirring]

[explosion]

[Rudy] Steve Austin,
astronaut,

a man barely alive.

[Oscar] 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.

[whirring]

[theme music]

[siren wailing]

[dramatic music]

How is he?

He had a severe concussion.

He should be up and about
in a couple of days.

[sighs] You ought
to see the other guy.

Hey, pal.

What happened?

I was on my way to your office
to get my next assignment.

Your next assignment
was to track down

two enemy agents that slipped
into the country.

They're scientists, and they're
experimenting in bionics.

I was worried about you.

Are you alright?
What happened?

Car comin' right at me
on the wrong side of the road.

In order to avoid it, I had to
go off the road and hit a tree.

Something funny
happened just...

Just before I passed out.

I saw somebody...
about 50 feet away,

just standin' there, lookin'.

I can't understand that,
people see an accident

and they just
don't wanna get involved.

Yeah, well, this somebody could
have been my twin brother.

Steve,
maybe it wasn't an accident.

Maybe those two
secret agents got to you

before you got to them.

That man that you saw
50 feet away looking at you,

could it have been
either of these men?

No, I tell you, Oscar,

he could've been
my twin brother.

Well, why don't you
just take it easy?

We'll talk
about the assignment

after you get back on your feet.

Excuse me, Oscar.

This will help you get
a good night's sleep.

What about my car?

Your car will be
out of the repair shop

before you're out of here,
Steve.

[dramatic music]

- There he is again.
- Hm?

Who?

Same guy I saw
after my accident.

Where?

[Steve] On the roof
across the street.

- [Rudy] I don't see anything.
- [Oscar] Neither do I.

He was there a second ago.

Steve, why don't you just
get some rest now?

I--I t--tell you he was there,
Oscar.

First get some sleep.

[mellow music]

Rudy... what's going on here?

Well, it's uh...

It's perfectly... normal.

It's not unusual
for someone to have

hallucinations as a result
of severe trauma.

But he's not in shock now.
The accident was yesterday!

Yeah, I know. Look,
let's not worry about him.

He's gonna come out of it,
he's been through

a lot worse than this. You go
ahead, keep your appointment.

Alright,
keep in touch with me.

I will.

[mellow music]

Rudy, have you seen Steve
this morning?

No, Oscar, I haven't examined
him yet, this morning.

I was just on my way
to the hospital.

Well, don't release him
too soon.

You know Steve,
he'll want to be up and out.

Well, physically,
he's okay, I...

I checked his chart by phone.

What I'm concerned with
is that

he continued to hallucinate
last night,

according to his nurse.

He saw that figure again, eh?

No, but he insisted
he had seen it,

and that it was real.

Now, I suppose it could be
the effect of the sedative,

but... I think
it's more than that, Oscar.

I, I think he's troubled
somehow.

I'm afraid you're right.

Do what you can, Rudy, to...

relieve his concerns, huh?

[Rudy] You can be sure I will,
Oscar.

[dramatic music]

Well... how you
feeling this morning?

Physically, okay.

What does that mean?

I saw my look-alike
on that roof again.

The man you think
you saw at the accident?

Rudy, I tell you, I saw him
outside that window again!

- Okay, take it easy, Steve.
- Look, you gotta believe me.

I'm not seeing things, I know
you looked out that window

and you didn't see anything,
and you think I'm flipping out.

No, I don't think
you're flipping out!

[Steve] Well, then, what?

I don't know for sure.

But if it's
bothering you this much,

there's someone you
could go and talk to.

- Who?
- Dr. Margaret Winslow.

She's a parapsychologist,
an extraordinary woman.

Her office is here in town.

I've been to many seminars
with her, and she's brilliant.

Now, parapsychology
is an exciting new field

with limitless possibilities.

Come on, Rudy. Seances, crystal
balls, and all that junk?

What have you got to lose?

If you're certain you're
seeing things I'm not,

what have you got to lose
just by talking to her?

Alright,
set up an appointment.

Will do.

[dramatic music]

[Margaret] To tell you the truth,
what happened to you

just after the accident
is unusual,

but not without precedent.

Oh, I'd have accepted
that it was a hallucination

at the scene of the accident,
but the fact that it

reappeared at the hospital
when my mind was clear--

- Made you wonder?
- Yes.

- Cream and sugar?
- Uh, black, please.

It's probable you
did see a spirit.

Well, doctor,
I'm probably wasting your time.

I don't believe in spirits.

[chuckles]
It's not an easy concept

for most people to accept.

But since you're here, why don't
we explore it a bit further?

Alright.

On the assumption you're going
to keep an open mind.

Doctor,
I'm keeping an open mind.

I'm just not worried
about spirits.

Perhaps you should be,
at least for a little while.

Why?

I believe it's possible

you did have
a psychic experience.

Of course, we haven't proved
anything yet, either way.

Why don't you tell me about
yourself? What do you do?

Well, I'm a retread
from the space program,

on-call
for special assignments.

I used to be something
of an athlete.

I still prefer participation
to watching.

- Family?
- None living.

I've never been married, uh,

and I don't see a ring
on your finger.

You get an A for observation.

What's a retread
from the space program?

I had an accident
several years back.

- How serious was the accident?
- Serious.

- Did Dr. Wells treat you?
- Yes.

Could I talk to him?

Well,
I'll get him on the phone.

Have you ever been treated
for anything

other than a physical ailment,
Steve?

- What do you mean?
- Oh, nervous tension.

- Anxieties, things like that.
- Steve Austin.

Is Dr. Wells there?
Thank you.

No.

[Woman] Dr. Wells,
Steve Austin is on the phone.

Thanks.

- Hello, Steve.
- Hello, Rudy.

I'm with Dr. Margaret Winslow.
She'd like a word with ya.

- [Rudy] Put her on.
- Thank you.

Hello, doctor.

[Rudy] It's nice talking again,
Dr. Winslow.

Thank you, Steve tells me

he was involved
in a serious accident

several years ago.

Well, we're getting into
a classified area, doctor.

- You know, the space program.
- I understand.

All I need to know is,
was he clinically dead

for even a brief period
of time

as a result
of that accident?

[Rudy] If you respect this
as a confidence.

Of course.

Yes, he was clinically dead
for 52 seconds.

Really? For that long?

Um, well, thank you, doctor,
very much.

- You're welcome.
- Bye-bye.

What does it matter
if I was clinically dead?

It's the key that unlocks
the door to probability.

I don't understand.

You were a dead man
for a full 52 seconds.

I think what you saw,

the man who looks
exactly like you,

could be, what in essence,
is your own spirit.

- [scoffs] My what?
- Your own spirit.

How could I have seen
my spirit?

I don't even believe in 'em.

One of the things that makes
this field so difficult

is that half
of what occurs is real,

and the other half
is a product of belief.

Believers sometimes see things
that aren't there.

And non-believers, like you,

sometimes see things
that are.

You see,
it's theorized that upon death,

the spirit will become free
from the body.

So what you're saying is,
when I was clinically dead...

- My spirit left my body.
- That's right.

In 1927, Miss Evelyn Thomas,
22 years old,

lived in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.

She was revived 27 seconds

after she was pronounced dead.

Six months later,
she died, suddenly,

of no apparent cause.

She was in good health
at the time,

her pulse
and blood pressure normal,

her heart, undamaged.

Obviously, that's supposed
to mean something significant?

Well, to a paranormal
investigator,

it might mean that after
Evelyn Thomas' spirit

had left her body,
it discovered

that it was forced
to wander in limbo

when she came back to life.

Then you're suggesting
that the spirit

caused the death
of Evelyn Thomas so that

it could remain free
of the body?

That's right. Another case.

Willie Jones,
Chicago, Illinois, 1939.

He was clinically dead
for 29 seconds

and then revived.

Eight months later,
he fell out of a rowboat

while fishing and drowned.

Anybody could fall
out of a boat and drown.

What you say is true,

but not a six-foot tall man
in four feet of water.

Both these cases
are documented,

if you'd like
to read about them.

In each of those cases,
their spirits caught up

with them
in less than a year.

Now, I had my accident
four years ago.

Why did it take my spirit
so long to catch up to me?

I don't know.

You were clinically dead
for 52 seconds.

That's one of the longest
times on record.

That might make a difference.

That might make you
very special.

It could be
that it's taken your spirit

four years to find your body
in order to destroy it.

[scoffs]

Listen,
why don't you think about it?

And if you can accept
even 50 percent

of what I'm saying to you,
we can investigate it.

- I'll think about it.
- Okay.

You've been very kind.
Thank you.

[explosion]

[intense music]

[fire crackling]

[music continues]

Are you alright?

Explosion.

All I remember
is an explosion.

There was an explosion
outside your office door.

- Do you know what caused it?
- No, but, uh...

- What is it?
- Well, you'd call it my spirit.

- Do you see it?
- Yes, I see it.

I'm gonna
settle this right now.

- No, Steve. Don't.
- Why?

It's just standing there,
waiting.

Steve,
you mustn't touch it.

Any physical contact
is very dangerous.

- It's gone.
- I don't think so.

It's waiting somewhere.

[mellow music]

Well, doctor,
you can take a look if you like,

but I'm afraid
your office is a total loss.

- Was anybody hurt?
- No.

You two are lucky to be alive.
I can tell you that.

Any idea what caused
the explosion?

Carelessness.

Delivery man over there
left a container

of highly volatile materials
in the hall

just outside your office door.

It blew up.

Well, that's the way
most accidents happen.

Carelessness,
pure and simple,

especially with highly
volatile fluids.

When will they ever learn?

Well, excuse me. Come on.
Let's roll 'em up, men.

I'd like to talk
to the delivery man.

- Okay?
- Alright.

Excuse us.

I guess you were the folks
who were in the office?

- Yes.
- Hey, w--what can I say?

If I hadn't have put
that stuff down there,

I wouldn't
be standing here now.

Well, it's lucky you put
it down then, isn't it?

I wonder, do you remember
why you left it where you did?

Well, I--I, I was heading
for the, uh, chemistry lab.

- At the back of the building.
- Ah, yes, but why there?

Why that particular
office door?

I was headed for the stairway.

I started...

Well, to tell the truth, lady,
I don't know.

Maybe I should have left it
in the van, but I didn't.

Look, there's,
there's no way I could've known

that that stuff was gonna
go up like that.

I'll tell you one thing,
from now on,

someone else can haul it.

Hey, I'm really sorry about
what it did to your office.

I know. It's alright.

Well,
I--I better get back to work.

Steve, can I impose
on you to drive me home?

- Sure, no trouble. Come on.
- Thank you.

You think there's more
to it than even he knows.

Possibly,
I'm just trying to put together

the pieces of a puzzle.

- Nice.
- A government issue.

So this is where my taxes go.

[dramatic music]

- I turn here?
- Uh, no, no.

It's a little bit further.

Steve, you believe there
is a logical explanation

for everything, don't you?

Up until I met you, I did.

Now I'm not sure.

To understand
psychic phenomena,

to deal
with things paranormal,

you must begin with belief

in the possibility
of their existence.

Oh, you turn right
at the next street.

Uh, you did seek me out,
didn't you?

One of the more intelligent
things I've done lately.

Thank you very much.

[dramatic music]

It's, uh, the apartment
right here on the corner.

[Margaret] Well, here we are.

Please, uh,
make yourself comfortable.

- Can I get you a drink?
- Oh, coffee. Coffee's fine.

Okay.

Um, I believe
we haven't got much time.

Time for what?

To make contact
with your spirit,

so I can help you deal
with him.

That explosion, I don't
believe it was an accident.

Yeah, well, I don't
know any delivery men

that are out to do me in.

- Black, right?
- Right.

Besides,
if he'd have planted it,

he would hardly have
waited around to apologize.

I don't think
he could help himself.

I think that container
would have exploded

no matter where he left it.

You know, that's what
I figured you'd think.

I believe your spirit
dictated his actions

in an attempt to kill you.

What I'd like to do is try
and make contact with it now.

If we can control that meeting,
if I can confront it,

I might be able
to neutralize it.

Listen, spirits have been known
to take command,

to make people do things
that they're not even

aware of what it is
they're doing.

Like those two case histories
I told you about in my office.

How do we make contact?

By what you might
call a seance.

I prefer
psychic communication.

You're still fighting me.

Look, I just can't buy
psychic communication.

You have to trust me.

Alright, what do we do?

Good. Help me with the table.

I wanna warn you
about something.

There is an element
of very real risk here.

Remember I said that spirits

sometimes
have taken command?

- Well, don't worry about me.
- I just wanted you to know.

- Okay, grab that chair.
- Okay.

You sit here.

The lights are only
a device to help you.

I want you to focus

and fix your eyes
on the wall behind me.

Now, I want you
to concentrate on my voice.

Put your hands flat
on the table.

Right.

Now, don't look at me.

Concentrate on the lights.

If you feel sleepy,
don't fight it.

We're going back in time.

Days, weeks,

months, years.

Turn back.

Fold in on one another,

back in time to another place.

You are part
of the space program.

It's a special day.

You remember that day.

[mysterious music]

Hours, seconds...

before the accident.

[Man 2] Circuit breakers in.

- [Steve] We have separation.
- [Man 1] Roger.

[Man 2] Inboards and outboards
are on.

I'm coming forward
with the side stick.

- [Man 1] All looks good.
- [Man 2] Uh, Roger.

[Mission Control] Okay, Steve,
the winds are down

to about five or six knots.

Keep it coming less, Steve.

[Steve] Okay.
Okay, going to lower gauge.

[Mission Control] Okay, looks good.

Come on left, Steve.
Five more degrees.

You're on energy, Steve,
and you're heading

right for the turn point.

[Steve] Okay.

[Mission Control] Got you coming
through 17,000 feet now.

[Margaret]
Something's gone wrong.

There is something wrong.

[Steve] Pitch is out!
I can't hold altitude!

[Man 2] Correction,
Alpha Hold is off.

Turn selectors... Emergency!

[Mission Control] Don't take any
chances, Steve. No sweat.

Move away out there.
Give him some room.

[Margaret]
You are going to crash.

There is no way to avoid it.

[Mission Control] Okay,
take her any place you want.

You will die...

and your spirit
will be released.

[Steve] 280, 270 knots.

[groans]

[Steve] Get that chopper
out of the way.

[Man] No, he's alright.
You're all clear.

[panting]

You will go into a coma.

[indistinct radio chatter]

You will not come out of it.

[Man] Get the firetruck out.

[Mission Control] This is NASA One,
get that firetruck

out there immediately.

No, no, no.

[panting]

[Steve] Flight Com,
I can't hold it! She's bre...

[grunts]

Hey.

[panting]

- What happened?
- Just take it easy.

Take it easy.

I was taken over by the spirit,
wasn't I?

It must have been
auto suggestion.

You're still doubting it?

Look, all I know is,
you tried to kill me.

But it took control
of my thoughts, my...

Oh, Steve, it took control.

Maybe we ought
to give this up.

Wait a minute.
You can't stop now.

- But I tried to kill you.
- Only you didn't.

How about a refill
on the coffee, huh?

[sighs]

Okay.

I'd like to make a fresh pot.
It'll take a few minutes.

- Alright, no hurry.
- Okay.

[dramatic music]

It's back.

What?

It's back!

No. No!

Steve! No!

[music continues]

[music continues]

- What happened?
- I'm not sure.

Somebody was driving this car.

Somebody or... something.

[dramatic music]

[Oscar] So, you've had a couple
of experiences

you can't explain, eh,
Steve?

Well,
I'm familiar with the theory

that destructive thoughts
can be projected

through others
into destructive actions.

But I am much more at home
with the premise

that somebody very
mortal and very clever

is trying to kill you.

What do you know
about Margaret Winslow?

She's a very bright woman

with impressive credentials
in her field.

- That's all?
- Come on, Oscar.

She wants to solve this
as much as we do.

That's true. It checks out.

What? You checked her out?

[intercom buzzes]
[Oscar] Yes?

[Woman]
The security officer is here

for some reports to sign.

Show him in.

Margaret Winslow is part
of the action, Steve.

You know as well as I do that
as long as you work for us,

your private life
belongs to us, too.

- Since when?
- Thank you.

Since I've come
to the conclusion

that those two spies
that slipped into this country

want you dead or alive.

Give me a motive.

The secrets to bionic surgery.

I wouldn't be much good
to them dead.

Don't be too sure.

Rudy Wells tells me
that an autopsy will tell them

all they need to know.

Alright,
then give me a full briefing

and put me back on duty.

I've assigned Bronson
and Smith to the case.

You have another
48 hours leave.

Okay, Oscar,
maybe you're right.

Maybe I have to clear my mind.

But there's still a lot
of unanswered questions,

questions
that I want answered.

[dramatic music]

Hi! You're prompt.

Oh, it's one of my vices.

Just when I thought I met
the perfect man.

Be kinda dull, wouldn't it?
A perfect man?

[upbeat music]

- [Steve] Storm is blowing up.
- [Margaret] There's time enough.

We both know what happened
last time we tried this.

Only, this time, please,
keep your eyes on me.

Just in case.

That won't be hard to do.

There's one thing
I can't understand.

How is it you never married?

Oh, I'm a bad risk
in a high risk business.

Or maybe it's because you're
married to your work?

That could be it.
What's your excuse?

Maybe it's because I've never
met a man like you.

You keep that up,
I'm gonna forget why we're here.

[Margaret chuckles]

- Is it much further?
- Just up ahead.

This is where I was
forced off the road.

Ended up here against
that pine tree.

Where was the spirit
when you saw it?

I don't know, I was
pretty punchy, but, uh...

I think it was off
in that direction.

Can you be more exact?

Uh, just past the big pine tree.

Alright, I'm gonna go
and try and make direct contact.

No matter what happens,
don't interfere.

Please, just stay here.

- Are you alright?
- Yes, I'm fine.

[dramatic music]

[thunder rumbling]

We know you're here.

We feel your presence.

We reach out to you.

We ask you to show yourself.

We beseech you
to show yourself to us.

[thunder rumbling]

[music continues]

Margaret!

[thunder rumbling]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[beeping]

[lightning crashing]

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[wind howling]

Come on.

Get into the cabin.

- What's going to happen to me?
- Be quiet. You'll find out.

[thunder rumbling]

Would you please tell me
what this is all about?

Weather pose a problem?

Some interference, maybe,
but they'll get the message.

Who will get the message?

Look, if you think
I'm worth kidnapping,

you're terribly mistaken.

I've only got
a small insurance policy,

and I'm behind
on the premium payments.

- Any luck?
- Not yet.

[lightning crashing]

[dramatic music]

[lightning crashing]

Would you sit in this chair,
please?

Now.

You know,
we never thought Colonel Austin

would go to you for help.

It was a lucky accident
we used to our advantage.

Sit.

Good.

- Anything yet?
- Afraid not.

The weather's giving us
a lot of difficulty.

Keep trying.

Sit back in the chair, please.

Put your hands at your sides.

[lightning crashing]

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[intense music]

Hope we haven't made you too
uncomfortable, Miss Winslow.

- You have.
- Sorry.

[device beeping]

Message received
and understood.

- Now what?
- We wait.

For what?

For Steve Austin to see you
and come to your rescue.

[lightning crashing]

[dramatic music]

Who are you,
and what do you want with Steve?

- What is that?
- Relax, doctor.

It's all in the interest
of science.

What kind of science
uses lethal gas?

And I assume it is lethal.

Lethal to him, but harmless
to bionic circuitry.

There are forces at work here
more deadly than lethal gas.

I spent a great deal of time
studying parapsychology

before starting this project.
And I agree, doctor.

There are psychic forces
more deadly than lethal gases.

However, they're not
a part of this operation.

- What do you think?
- Should work perfectly.

[dramatic music]

[lightning crashing]

[music continues]

See him yet?

I thought I saw him,
but... nothing.

Think he might be lost?

No, I believe our plans

have made sure
that won't happen.

[dramatic music]

[snaps] There he is!

Okay.

If you feel like screaming,
be my guest.

[music continues]

[beeping]

[dramatic music]

[air hissing]

Poison gas!

[music continues]

[coughs]

[both coughing]

- Are you alright?
- Yes, I'm fine.

But I don't understand
what's happened.

Well, it's a long story.

This is the way they did it,
Oscar.

They had these
laser beam projectors

set up wherever they needed
to make me see the image.

They also had it
on a timing device,

so that it would go... on.

And off.

Well,
they've made full confessions.

It'll be a long time before
they see their country again.

Did they fill in all
the blanks?

Yes,
they paid the delivery man

to leave that container
outside of your door.

And the car that drove itself?

That was
a remote control device.

What about when I went off
the road and hit that tree?

Steve, that was the start
of their master plan

to make you think you were
beginning to hallucinate.

[intercom buzzes]

- Yes?
- [Woman] Mr. Goldman.

You're wanted upstairs
immediately.

I'll be right there.

Steve,
you've got 24 hours off,

and then I'm going
to expect you back on the job.

Well, I didn't expect you
to expect anything else.

[laughter]

What a pleasure to meet you,
doctor.

Thank you.
It's nice to meet you, too.

See you later.

Well, I think I should be

saying goodbye, too.

What? Goodbye?

It's been quite an experience,
and I think

I need a little vacation.

So I'm gonna take off
for a few weeks.

Well, Margaret, I'm glad things
worked out the way they did.

I'm just sorry that they didn't
work out the way you expected.

Well, Steve, we both now
know that what you went through

was not a psychic experience,
only plotting.

I told you right off,
I didn't believe in spirits.

I knew there had
to be a rational explanation.

Agreed, there was a rational
explanation in your case.

But there is no
rational explanation

for those two case histories
I told you about in my office.

The thing I regret is that you
may find it hard to believe

and to trust me again.

I may always find it hard to
believe in psychic experiences,

but I'll always trust you.

[laughs] Thank you.

Well, goodbye.

Goodbye.
