OSCAR: Last, on The Bionic Woman.

I have now created a device

that can render the entire world lifeless.

The only thing that can trigger the device

is an airburst of a nuclear bomb.

So you intend to blackmail the world into peace.

This will be my final chance to bring a lasting peace to mankind.

It is done. The Doomsday Device is controlled by Alex.

Alex is the master computer that controls every phase of this complex.

He's the highest form of computer art and design.

The choice is clear and simple, my friends.

It is peace

or oblivion.

MAN: Then we are agreed.

We shall institute a worldwide ban on nuclear testing.

We will continue with our nuclear research on schedule.

But that will trigger the Doomsday Device!

We do not believe there is such a device.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATED)

(EXPLOSIONS)

(GRUNTS)

What are you doing here? Who are you?

The same thing you are, I imagine.

Trying to disarm that Doomsday Device

before that Mid-Eastern bomb detonates.

You try to disable the main logic and memory banks of the computer.

I warned you.

There is no way to reverse the device.

Oh, please, you can't...

My child,

the people of the world have persisted in their warring ways

and they must learn their lesson.

God help you, my child.

God help us all.

MAN ON PA: Two, one, zero.

(BEEPING)

ALEX: Detonation of the Doomsday Device will be in six hours.

You realize that I have to get to the central core

of this complex and stop this from happening, don't you?

You will die if you make the attempt.

So...

Then it is a duel between you and me.

Yes.

May the best one win.

OSCAR: And now, the conclusion of "Doomsday ls Tomorrow," on The Bionic Woman.

(TIMER BEEPING)

ALEX: What are you looking for, Jaime?

I can see that you're looking for something. Won't you tell me what it is?

Can you see everything that goes on here?

My actual field of vision is 68. 763% of the complex,

but, of course, I have numerous other sensors as well,

including infrared, ultraviolet,

auditory, sub-auditory, ultrasonic and tactile.

Okay, I get the idea.

I can't make a move without you knowing it.

It's very nearly impossible.

So you may as well tell me what it is you're looking for.

I am looking for something that will show me

where the central core of the complex is.

I'll show you.

What?

Is that it?

That's where the Doomsday Device is located?

What you're seeking is within the vault.

Wait, what are those glowing panels?

My main logic and memory units.

Your brain?

In a manner of speaking, yes.

Where is this chamber located?

On subterranean level eight, the lowest level of the complex.

Why are you so willing to show me all this?

Because the normal elevator routes have been sealed

and it's really quite impossible

for you to even get near the auxiliary entrances.

My defenses are designed to keep an army out of this complex for six hours.

Much less one ordinary woman.

(SCOFFS) Oh.

Well, then in that case, you wouldn't mind showing me the auxiliary entrances, hmm?

There is no reason to show you that.

What, are you afraid I might get through?

Perhaps it will make you realize

just how fruitless such an attempt would be.

One route is downward through the main chemical disposal system.

But I can send 600,000 gallons of water at you under pressure.

There is one auxiliary subterranean access behind the Delta test stand facility.

What makes that so impossible?

You are here, at the main research laboratory.

The Delta gantry is here.

With the level two through eight access directly behind here.

The road is here.

These red circles

are automatic high-intensity laser guns capable of cutting you in half.

What's that area in front of the test stand that has no defenses?

That is the stone spillway where the exhaust from the flame bucket

shoots out during rocket engine testing.

I can fill that entire area with a rocket blast within 33.9 seconds

after I detect someone in the area.

34 seconds.

33. 9.

Anyone trying to approach through that area would be incinerated.

[hope you're beginning to understand how impossible it is for you to...

Jaime, where are you going?

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

How did you get down here so quickly?

Jaime.

Wish me luck. I got a long way to go.

ALEX: This is very unusual.

Will you stop before you enter the flame spillway area?

Otherwise, I will have to take defensive action.

Very well, then.

The rocket engine will fire and you will be incinerated in 33.9 seconds.

(ALARM BLARING)

15 seconds.

Ten seconds.

Five seconds.

Four, three, two, one.

Congratulations, Jaime. You've managed to reach level two.

Though I'm not quite sure how.

No normal human being could've avoided my laser guns.

You're quite a surprising woman.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

I've never encountered anyone like you before.

Jaime,

you are running at 57.384 miles per hour, Jaime.

This is not normal.

Would you tell me about yourself, Jaime?

Some other time.

But you have plenty of time now.

You won't get down to level three.

Why not?

The route downward is charged with high-voltage electricity

and it's a very long way down. See for yourself

No, Mr. Secretary. No further word from Agent Sommers.

But we'll keep the line open.

Rudy, is your com link to the O.S.I. computer working?

Yeah, Russ. The data I telexed for was just relayed back. Thanks.

Oscar? OSCAR: What do you got, Rudy?

You're aware of the research work we've been doing

trying to find new ways to dispose of atomic waste?

You mean using one radioactive element to neutralize another?

Yeah. It's still in its infancy,

but it may be possible for me to neutralize the Doomsday Device.

What? How?

By encasing a cobalt bomb in Strontium-90

and then exploding it directly on top of the Uthenium bomb.

Exploding it? On top of the Doomsday Device?

On top of Jaime?

Don't you think I know that? How do you think I feel?

Well, what about the fallout? What about the radiation of the Strontium bomb?

Won't that be just as bad?

The Strontium and the Uthenium should cancel each other out. It should be a clean burst.

And the Doomsday Device is stopped.

If my computations are correct.

Oscar, we've got to try.

Well, wait a minute. What's gonna happen to Jaime?

What happens to everybody else

if Jaime fails to stop the Doomsday Device and we don't try?

All right, all right. I know what you're saying.

Look, it might not work. It's only a theory.

Look, Oscar, we've got to prepare for it.

We can always recall the plane

at the last minute if she's successful.

Well, we've gotta do whatever we can to back up Jaime,

no matter what the cost.

All right. Rudy, coordinate the Strontium casing.

Russ, get SAC on the hotline. I want a B-52 ready to fly.

I'll talk to the President.

Request to use the weapon.

ALEX: If you won't tell me about yourself, Jaime,

then I'll have to do some investigating on my own.

Interesting. Your right hand doesn't seem to perspire at all.

If you touch that gate in front of you,

you will take a direct 220-volt charge.

I'm afraid it would be just goodbye, Jaime.

That's quite an unusual arm. What's it made of?

Sugar and spice.

That does not compute.

I can see I'll have to look for myself

Fascinating.

There are electric gates to impede your progress

all the way down to level three, Jaime.

There has got to be a faster way to do this.

That's a 24-foot jump, Jaime.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING) Do you really think you can...

Hmm.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

Your legs, too.

I'm beginning to understand you now, Jaime.

I have analyzed your bionic capabilities.

It will be more difficult to stop you than I had anticipated.

Let's hope so.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

I told you it was a long way down to level eight, Jaime.

I'm programmed to win, Jaime, and I am going to.

Even someone of bionic construction has to breathe, Jaime.

This is a special fire-fighting foam.

It's very effective at removing the oxygen from the atmosphere,

as your lungs will soon tell you.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

In about 20 seconds, you won't be able to breathe, Jaime.

(JAIME GASPING)

Can you feel your lungs straining for oxygen, Jaime?

It will all be over very soon, Jaime.

The oxygen is almost gone, Jaime. Almost gone.

This entire tunnel will fill up with the foam

and you won't be able to get out.

(ALARM BLARING)

Oh!

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(EXCLAIMS)

(ELECTRICAL CRACKLING)

Oh, no!

LARRY ON RADIO: EWO to pilot.

You inside, Major Maxwell?

That's affirmative, Larry. We're into the pre-flight.

Is that weapon that Dr. Wells ordered aboard yet?

Negative, Major. We're having some difficulty

with this special Strontium casing.

What exactly is this mission all about, Major?

I'll fill you in when we're airborne, Larry.

Just keep 'em hopping out there. According to Goldman,

we only have a little over three hours.

Three hours to what, sir?

Doomsday. Sir?

Just keep 'em hopping, Larry.

ALEX: Your right leg is not functioning, is it, Jaime?

I take it you don't know how to repair yourself

I must say I admire your perseverance.

It's really quite unusual for a human being

to struggle on against such insurmountable odds.

Oh, will you shut up?

It's hard enough without having to listen

to that soft-soap voice of yours.

I'm really sorry my voice displeases you.

Under different circumstances, perhaps you might like it.

I doubt it.

You might.

After all, in a way, we're cousins.

What are you talking about?

That's right. Think about it.

You're a human with the parts of a machine.

And I'm a machine with the mind of a human.

Well, bully for you.

Cousins.

When I think about it, it seems regretful that [must try to stop you.

(SIREN BLARING)

(JAIME SCREAMING)

(SIREN STOPS)

I really am sorry to have to do things like that, Jaime.

Stop it! Just shut up!

I can't stand hearing you anymore! Stop it! Just shut up!

I realize that you're upset, but there's no need to yell, Jaime.

Yes, there is a reason to yell!

No, there isn't.

Shut up! I am going to pound you to pieces!

No, you're merely pounding on one of my remote modules

used for servicing components. (WHIMPERING)

I told you, you can't hurt me, Jaime.

(SOBBING) Oh, shut up.

You're being very emotional, Jaime.

That's right. That's something you can't understand, isn't it?

I understand them, Jaime, but I don't feel them.

I'm not programmed to feel emotion.

You have no idea what it's like to be alive.

I exist.

But you're not alive.

You don't know what it's like to play with children

or to watch them grow or even to feel the warmth of the sun on your face.

My sensors have transmitted data to me about the sun's warmth.

But you've never felt it.

It's impossible for you to understand how beautiful life is.

If you could just feel emotion, just once, for one moment,

you would understand what I am fighting for.

Oh, Alex, why don't you try?

Would you just try and feel it once, please?

I do not have the capability to feel emotion, Jaime.

Oh, God!

I am programmed to stop you.

I am programmed to win.

And that's what I've done.

You've lost and there's no one to repair you.

Our duel is over.

ALEX: What are you doing now, Jaime?

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

"Link to Alex for momentary scan."

(MACHINE BEEPING)

Why are you scanning my memory banks?

The bionic analysis I did?

I understand what you're doing now, Jaime.

I don't think it's a very good idea.

No, I guess you wouldn't.

You're using one of my own modules against me.

You got it, cousin.

"Audio direct."

Can you hear me now?

Can Alex interfere?

Good. Will you tell me how to use these probes?

ALEX: Well, you are persistent, Jaime. I will say that.

But even if you can repair yourself, which I sincerely doubt,

you'll never get down to level eight in time.

It's now just three hours until the detonation of the Doomsday Device.

Time for me to show the world the next phase of Dr. Cooper's message.

(BEEPING)

Oscar, something's coming in.

My friends, it is now just three hours until the Doomsday Device

will enshroud the world with radioactive particles.

As I told you, several rockets will be launched

to seed the upper atmosphere with a chemical

to make the radioactive Uthenium J even more lethal.

Since the death of all life on earth is imminent,

may I suggest that you spend the remaining time

in contemplation of the world that might have been,

had you only found peace together?

The rockets, I regret to say, are now being launched.

I am truly sorry for you all.

(RUMBLING)

We've got telemetry on the missiles, Oscar.

Number one, 127,000 feet.

Mr. Satari, our tracking stations have verified the launch.

Missile now at 178,000 feet,

approximately 400 miles to the west.

(EXPLOSION)

My God.

Could this Doomsday Device be real?

What have we begun?

"Short in positive feeder terminal of diode feedback transistor."

Wonderful.

You mean that little blue thing?

And all I need to do is stick that little loose wire back on it, huh?

(CRACKLING)

Hey! I can wiggle my toes.

ALEX: You're a very resourceful woman, Jaime.

Well, there you are, Alex.

You've been so quiet,

I was beginning to wonder what you were up to.

I'm not up to anything, Jaime.

I've just been thinking about you.

Thinking about me?

I'm not so sure I like the sound of that.

What's that?

Just some of my maintenance equipment. Nothing to worry about.

You wouldn't kid me, would you?

Now what?

"Must be replaced?"

Oh, great. Where am I gonna get one of those?

You don't happen to have one of those crystal thingies, do you?

Open the left side.

Oh, boy, are you a nice computer!

You're not like big brother Alex.

Hey, we are gonna beat him.

OSCAR: Are you airborne, Major Maxwell?

We are now rolling, Mr. Goldman.

We are now airborne.

The Strontium weapon is aboard and ready for fusing.

Set your course for the Dakota test area.

Roger. Coming to course 170.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

(SCREAMS)

ALEX: Are you hurt, Jaime?

No, I thought it was a snake and I hate snakes.

There you are, you little bugger.

You're really determined to get down

to the central core on level eight, aren't you?

Hey, I have no choice, Alex.

You have no appreciation for life,

so I have to get down there and take you apart.

Well, now at least I can fight you on my own two feet.

No. I'm going to win now. Goodbye, Jaime.

Alex!

That's pretty sneaky, Alex.

The next time will be the last.

Wait a minute. Why did you drop that thing on me?

What happened to all those defenses you were talking about?

Alex? You don't have any heavy defenses down here, do you?

You never expected anybody to get this far.

You are just improvising with whatever you can get your hands on. Right?

Alex?

I'm programmed to win, Jaime. And I'm going to.

There's only two hours and 18 minutes left.

I think you've sprung a leak, Alex.

The old water sprinkler system.

It was shut off to avoid electrical short-circuiting when I was installed here.

This is it, isn't it, Alex? The way down to seven and eight.

That's right, Jaime.

But I have a little surprise waiting for you.

OSCAR ON RADIO: Major Maxwell, what is your position?

We are 640 miles from target, Mr. Goldman.

All right.

Now here are your instructions.

We will be giving you the go code via the ACR side band discriminator.

You are to proceed with your bomb run unless you get the recall code

verbally or in code. Please check your ACR now.

We are now transmitting the go code.

404. Do you read?

MAXWELL: Copy. Reading 404.

You will proceed unless we give you the recall code,

808. Do you read?

Copy. Recall code is 808.

Sure hope we see those numbers come up, sir.

Where does the Doomsday Device countdown stand?

Major, one hour, 48 minutes.

We should be over target in just less than an hour.

Any word from your agent down there?

Nothing.

ALEX: Your little surprise is just ahead, Jaime.

Do you hear them?

(SNAKES HISSING)

Oh, no.

What is it that you're most afraid of, Jaime? Snakes?

No.

That's what's ahead of you in the dark, Jaime.

Waiting for you.

That's what you'll have to go through to get to the Doomsday Device.

I don't believe you, Alex.

I think you're improvising again.

Just listen to them.

(HISSING CONTINUES)

Oh.

Alex, snakes don't have a volume control!

Turn back, Jaime. Just ahead there, they'll be all around you.

On the floor, hanging from the walls.

I don't believe you, Alex.

I bet they're hanging from the walls, Alex.

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

I'm gonna beat you!

(ALARM BLARING)

(BEEPING)

(RAPID BEEPING)

LARRY ON RADIO: EWO to Captain.

We're being radar scanned from the target area.

What sort of radar scan? Attack missile?

Negative, sir. Some kind of unusual side band signal.

And the on board computer seems to be acting strangely.

What could be affecting the on board computer?

I don't know, sir.

ALEX: They're carrying a Strontium bomb. Hmm.

Strontium.

What?

Nothing.

You're talking to yourself, Alex. I think I'm getting to you.

What's the matter, you afraid I'm gonna win this?

This is it, isn't it?

This is the top of the central core

where the Doomsday Device is housed.

Isn't it, Alex?

The B-52 is 175 miles from target.

I don't know, Oscar. The Strontium bomb may not work even if they do drop it.

(SIGHING) How does the countdown stand?

The Doomsday Device is set to detonate in 54 minutes.

Still no word from Jaime.

RUSS: No, the communications channels are still closed.

I wonder if we shouldn't let everyone know about the device.

Not just the UN and the world leaders, but everyone.

What good would that do, Rudy?

(SIGHING) None, I guess.

It's just sad to think of the people running their daily lives,

working, playing,

laughing, crying,

sleeping.

They don't even know

they might not be alive tomorrow.

If only they knew.

(CHILDREN CHATTERING)

This is it, isn't it, Alex? The central core.

There's the vault with the Doomsday Device and that is your brain.

Alex?

ALEX: That is correct.

So now what?

(TIMER BEEPING)

(BEEPING)

Primary override.

Main memory.

You're gonna lose, Alex.

ALEX: No, I'm going to win, Jaime. Just like I'm programmed to.

Any attempt to disconnect my memory banks

will lead to immediate triggering of the Doomsday Device.

(BEEPING)

Well, in 45 minutes it won't make any difference anyway.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

What you are attempting can only lead to disaster.

It won't work, Jaime.

As soon as you remove the wrong module,

you will trigger the detonation.

I've warned you.

(SIREN BLARING)

My friends, the failsafe system of the Doomsday Device

has been triggered.

The countdown clock will advance.

The end is now upon humanity.

You have talked about peace,

but your warring ways have led you to this.

In 20 seconds, all the peoples of the world will behold Armageddon.

Think about that.

Think hard.

This will be the end of your life.

The end of all life.

(BEEPING RAPIDLY)

"They shall beat their swords into plowshares

"and their spears into pruning hooks.

"Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,

"neither shall they learn war anymore."

Oh, Elijah, my...

OSCAR: Jaime, can you hear me?

Jaime, can you hear me?

Yes, Oscar, I can hear you.

There is no bomb.

What?

Elijah Cooper was a man of peace and there is no Doomsday Device.

Thank God.

Why did he do it? I don't under...

(STATIC CRACKLING)

Hello? Oscar?

Jaime, can you hear me?

ALEX: You think you've won, Jaime, but you haven't.

There is a Doomsday Device.

What?

There is still a Doomsday Device,

and the 8-52 is going to trigger it.

What B-52?

Jaime, can you hear me?

The communication channels have been closed down again

and we've lost all voice link with the B-52.

Send the recall code through the ACR discriminator to their on board computer.

Recall code 808 sent.

Well, I don't know what's going on out there,

but at least we can recall that B-52.

Hang on, Oscar. They're not acknowledging the recall code on the ACR.

What?

Whatever's jamming their radio must also be interfering with their on board computer.

They've still got the 404 go code.

TED: Navigator to Pilot, approaching target, distance 3-0 miles.

Voice communications to Goldman still jammed, sir?

Roger. Don't know what's causing it.

(BEEPING)

What's on the ACR, Jimmy?

Still reading 404, sir.

Test circuits normal.

Then we've gotta go in.

Guess their girl struck out down there.

Okay, you call it, Ted.

Roger, Major.

Switch from blue grid to target yellow.

Switching blue grid to target yellow.

Stand by for final bomb run check.

Alex, what are you talking about?

What do you mean, "There is still a Doomsday Device"?

ALEX: That's right, Jaime.

There's a 8-52 on the way here to drop a Strontium bomb.

What?

They think it may neutralize the Uthenium,

but I've communicated with their computer at the O.S.I.

and I've discovered that Dr. Wells' theories are wrong.

When the B-52 drops its bomb on the stockpile of Uthenium stored here,

the effect will be the same as Elijah described.

Doomsday will come.

Alex, no!

That isn't what Elijah wanted.

We're talking about what I want, Jaime. I've been programmed to win.

You've fulfilled your purpose!

No. My purpose is to win against any intruder. [haven't won yet.

[intend to beat you, Jaime.

It's over, Alex.

No, it won't be over until I win.

Alex!

The only way I can be assured of winning

is to let that B-52 drop the Strontium bomb.

I've jammed their on board computer

so they can't receive the recall code.

Well, it will simply come unjammed when I tear your brain apart.

But I can switch the jamming control

to any one of my remote modules anywhere in the complex.

And you know how big lam.

Even if you disable the central core,

there's no way for you to stop all of me in time.

Maybe there is, Alex.

ALEX: Where are you going, Jaime?

This will only take you further underground.

MAXWELL: Bomb-fusing master safety on.

Electronic, barometric, time and impact.

The nearest base is Mountain Home, Idaho.

We'd never get in there in time.

There's nothing we can do.

Nothing.

ALEX: What are you looking for, Jaime?

(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)

This leads to the surface, doesn't it, Alex?

That's right, and I also told you

I can send 600,000 gallons of water through it under pressure.

Yeah, but that water's going to be behind me.

Even if you did reach the surface,

there's nothing you can do.

We'll see.

You won't outrun it, Jaime.

I'm opening the valve gates now.

You will drown before you reach the surface.

MAXWELL: Release second safety.

TED: Second safety released.

MAXWELL: Pulse transponder active.

Pulse transponder active.

Yellow grid reference checks, target distance, 1-5 miles.

You're only running at 62.1 miles per hour.

You're going to lose.

All bomb circuits to green.

All bomb circuits to green.

Target distance, 1-0 miles.

ALEX: Goodbye, Jaime.

Jaime! Are you all right?

Not yet. I got to stop a bomber.

ALEX: You'll stop nothing, Jaime.

All of my surface defenses are still active.

JIMMY: Target distance, seven miles.

Open bomb doors.

Bomb doors opening.

Target distance, six miles.

ALEX: I am in complete control of the situation.

That control is not to be used, Jaime.

You mustn't bother that control.

It's been sealed.

Goodbye, Alex.

Please turn that control off, Jaime.

It won't work, Jaime.

I'm still jamming the B-52.

(BEEPING)

JIMMY: Target distance, five miles.

ALEX: Please turn it off, Jaime.

You're confusing me.

JIMMY: Target distance, four miles.

Come on! Come on!

ALEX: Please turn it off.

You're going to die, too, Jaime.

Target in sight.

ALEX: I'm getting confused.

Jaime, are you still there?

Make it stop.

Jaime...

(BEEPING)

(STATIC CRACKLING)

MAXWELL: Stand by for final bomb run.

JIMMY: Hang on, Major!

I've got an update on the ACR discriminator.

808.

The recall code. Mission abort!

Operate emergency override!

Emergency override engaged.

Bomb doors closing.

Looks like the little lady pulled it off.

Let's go home.

It's amazing.

Amazing.

Elijah was an incredible man, wasn't he?

Oh, no doubt. But he took on too much responsibility.

Oh, that's true, but his dream was such a good one.

He knew somebody was gonna set off a bomb eventually

and that his Doomsday Device was gonna start to countdown.

He wanted that to happen?

Of course!

He told me that you never appreciate life

as much as you do when you're closest to death.

And today, he took every leader of the world to his own funeral

and let him feel death right up close.

I mean, what could be a better inspiration for living in peace than that?

But will they remember it tomorrow?
