All language subtitles for The Six Million Dollar Man S03E06 The Deadly Test

Flight 79, calling
Edwards Air Base.

Our ETA is 45 minutes, over.

Flight 79, read you
loud and clear, cowboy.

Cowboy.

Nobody calls me
that but Joe Gordon.

That's right, Steve.
How you doin'?

Fine, Joe and you?

I'll be doing a lot better
once you get here...

and help out running this
International Pilot School.

I hear you got every nationality
of pilot in the world at that school.

Will you stop jawing, cowboy
and get down here to the rescue?

On my way, Joe.

All study teams report to the
communications room at 0800 hours.

All study teams report to the
communications room at 0800 hours.

Captain Segal,
report to operations.

I can't stand that
kind of music.

Eh, it's all they had.

Yeah.

Dr. Winslow?

This is Winslow, put him on.

Dr. Winslow, and?

Yes, sir.

Are the plans
moving on schedule?

Yeah, he'll be doin'
a fly-by tomorrow.

Is there any chance for failure?

No, no. No danger of that.

It'll look just
like an accident.

Are you sure?

Some of our people feel your
machine may not be fool proof.

Don't give me that!

I made the machine, I
know exactly what it can do.

Positive, Dr. Winslow?

That's right.

Are you sure?

That's right.

Positive?

I promise you,
Prince Sakari will die.

It looks good at NASA One.

Roger.

BCS Arm switch is on.

Okay, Victor.

Landing Rocket Arm switch
is on. Here comes the throttle.

Circuit breakers in.

We have separation.

Inboard and outboards are on.

I'm comin' forward
with the side stick.

Looks good.

Ah, Roger.

I've got a blowout
in damper three.

Get your pitch to zero.

Pitch is out. I
can't hold altitude!

Correction. Alpha Hold is off.
Threat selector is emergency.

Flight Com. I can't hold it! She's
breaking up! She's breaking...

Steve Austin. Astronaut.

A man barely alive.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him.

We have the technology.

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

Steve Austin will be that man.

Better than he was before.

Better, stronger, faster.

Test Pilot School, Commandant's
office. May I help you?

Yes, Mrs. Madden.

Well, why don't you let
me see if the Colonel's free?

Colonel Gordon?

Yo!

It's Mrs. Madden.

What is it this time?

She says she's heard that we have
a Chinese pilot being trained here.

She thinks he's a spy.

Spies, ay?

Well, tell the old bat that the
only spying that Yang does...

is in the centerfold
of girlie magazines.

And if she calls again
this month, you tell her...

I've got the idea.

Spies. eh?

You still puffin' on those logs?

Hey, Cowboy! Well,
about time you got here.

Air Force Reserve to the rescue.

Yeah, sit down. Sit down.

You up to a little
arm wrestle, cowboy?

Oh, no, come on, I
pass this time, partner.

You never passed before.

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon,
I'll go easy on you.

All right.

And one, two, three.

Yeah!

That easy life is makin'
you marshmallow.

No, that lousy cigar
smoke of yours.

Just don't appreciate good
tobacco. You never did.

Well, listen.

You're supposed to be
learnin' how to run this place...

let's take a little look
around, whaddaya say?

All right.

A couple o' new computers...

I guess the big change since
you were here last, Steve...

is we got twice as
many foreign pilots.

Any problems?

Oh, yeah, the U.S. taxpayers.

Some people think we train
these guys to fly fighters.

They don't realize
they're pilots already...

and we train 'em at
their own country's

expense to test planes,
not to fight in 'em.

Some of 'em even go on
to become space cowboys.

Gonna be good public relations
having you in command while I'm gone.

You're impossible to work with!

Whoa, whoa!

Well, this is a major change
that I almost forgot to mention.

Steve, this is
Major Aram Sakari.

Major.

And Lieutenant Jan Simmons.

- How do you do, sir?
- Lieutenant.

In case you hadn't noticed,
one of them's a woman.

First one in the
program. Fine engineer.

Thank you, sir.

She and Major Sakari
are a study team.

You are Colonel
Austin, the astronaut?

That's right.

Someday my people
will travel to the moon.

Probably quite a bit beyond.

Sakari is from Kutan.

Prince Sakari.

But as you can see...

in your country I'm
just one of the guys.

Now, you will please excuse us.

We were discussing the
variables in today's flight.

We were not discussing.
You were dictating.

I think this is where
we came in, Steve.

Now I want to know why
every time I have something...

In my country, women
know their place.

You just look at me
with this blank stare.

She's the best engineer in
the school, he's the best pilot.

They'd make a great team if
they could just got along better.

Kutan's the richest country
in the world, but, you know...

the women gotta
walk behind the men?

Sounds like Lieutenant Simmons
has her work cut out for her.

Wait a minute, wait
a minute. Look at this.

What's the matter?

They park a 2,000 pound crate right
here behind my car and they just walk off?

I mean, they just walk off?

Where is it supposed to go?

Over there by the fence!

Wait a minute.
How did it get there?

Well, some guys came along in
a fork-lift, Joe, and they moved it.

It just took a little
sweet talk, you know?

Never mind.

What was that you were we
talking about inside about leaving?

Oh, I thought I told you.

No, what?

You used to run this place
better than anybody ever did.

So I'm goin'
fishin' for a while.

Fishin'?

Ten days.

But first I'm gonna show you what's
changed around here since last year.

You gotta be kiddin'.

You're gonna leave
me stuck with this?

I've been stuck here
enough, cowboy.

But I wanna go
fishin' too sometimes!

I thought sure you're gonna
wreck that car back there.

Another coat of paint and
you wouldn't have made it.

And Colonel Austin
comes here once a year...

to serve his Air
Force Reserve duty.

And as you all know, he's somewhat
over-qualified to take my job.

However, since he is
here to be running things...

I thought I'd get a
little fishing done.

So, as of this moment...

you will take all of your wonderful
little problems directly to him.

Because I am on vacation.

Oh wait, there's one more thing.

Levy and Sakari.

That calibration fly-by
schedule is wrong.

Senior officer always goes
first, so, Levy, you'll follow Sakari.

And that's at 0900, gents,
so you'd better get cuttin'.

Dismissed.

As you saw, Sakari and Levy
have bad blood between them...

so keep an eye on those two.

Say no more, Joe. I understand.

You sure there's no
way can reach you?

Nope.

I'm gonna be lost
up in them hills.

Anyway, Steve, it's
just gonna be routine.

I mean pure routine, pal.

Want to try again,
marshmallow arm?

Well, why not?

You ready?

Go.

What'd you have for
breakfast anyway, cowboy?

Roasted marshmallows.

Woo-hee.

Roasted marshmallows, my fanny.

Remember, best
flier always goes first.

This experiment tests the
accuracy of the plane's altimeter.

When the plane flies by the
tower, it activates the camera.

Like a photo-finish
at the horse races.

Then we compare the altitude
that the plane was reading...

with the altitude of
the calibrated camera.

Simple, but effective.

I guess you've done
this a million times before.

Never with better company.

Why, thank you, Colonel.

Hmm. They're almost ready.

After you, Major Sakari.

The next set of experiments,
we get to fly with them.

I guess that's as
close as I'll ever get.

Close to what?

To being an
astronaut. Silly dream.

Well, do you want to?

Yes... yes, I do.

I know why I call it a silly dream.
I guess just to hide my ambition.

I want to be an astronaut
very much, Colonel.

Steve.

Edwards tower, test
flight 8-1-1-niner-1.

How do I read?

How do I read, Edwards?

Just fine, Major Sakari.

Are you ready to take off?

Yes. I trust you have
film in the camera.

I trust you have
fuel in the plane.

Yes, lieutenant.

8-1-1-niner, affirmative.
You're clear to go.

Thank you, Edwards.

Now listen, never...

Never let that needle see red.

Right.

All right.

Approaching for first fly-by.

Roger, Major.

First fly-by at 2-7-5-0 feet.

Roger. Over.

How did I look?

You blinked your eyes.

Your turn, David.

First pass at 2-7-5-0 feet.

Roger. Be there in a second.

All right. Give me some juice.

Here comes the second jet.

I can't hold it.
Losing all control.

The system's going
haywire. I can't hold them.

I've lost control of the stick!

I'm out.

Eject!

Eject!

Next time you won't be so lucky.

LAX radio, World Way's Flight 101
listening one twenty-three point six.

Roger 101. This is LAX.

101 requests
vector instructions.

Hold it. The
controls are jammed.

Losing altitude.

Flight 101, this is
LAX. Do you read?

Roger LAX. We experienced
momentary loss of control.

All systems seem normal now.

Here's where Levy lost control.

200 yards past the tower.

Mm-hmm.

Flight 101 was here.

Do you think there was a connection?
Flight 101 was 50 miles away.

What could have affected it,
and yet left Aram's plane alone?

I was less than a mile away.

My plane surely would
have been disabled.

Or is it that you are trying to save
the Israeli's wings, Colonel Austin?

Aram!

Be quiet, woman!

I will not be quiet.

Levy's plane might just
as well have been yours.

And he was lucky
to get out alive.

I suggest you
remember that, Major.

Nevertheless, I seem to be the only
one in the room with an explanation.

Perhaps you have
another, Colonel?

No.

Not yet.

The report says it could have been caused
by an ultra-high energy coherent wave...

that's been converted into a steer-able
beam... now that's what the experts say.

It goes on to say in the sixties,
several private corporations...

were working along these lines, but
no weapons systems came out of it.

Too unreliable.
Problems of overloading.

The project was dropped.

The beam jams
the electronic parts?

Right.

An unreliable energy wave.

It's possible part of it could
have bounced off Levy's plane...

and been reflected
back to the ground.

Maybe that's the problem
you had with your bionic eye.

Yeah.

I wonder what would've
happened if I'd taken the whole ray.

Still doesn't explain why somebody
would want to knock off one of our planes.

What do you think? Is it a test?

It's not the plane
they were after, Steve.

What?

Prince Aram Sakari has been under
our protection for the past two months.

Sakari?

As I understand it, Colonel Gordon
changed the schedule at the last minute.

Now if he hadn't, Sakari
would've been on this plane...

the second plane.

Then whoever's behind it has
access to our flight schedule.

Right.

Well, what do you think?
Who wants him dead?

Our theory is Kutan's
Prime Minister Chadal.

With the Prince
out of the way...

he could take over the country
easily when the king dies.

Of course, we have no proof.

Well, there's only one
way to prove your theory.

You think he'll
stand still for it?

Nope. But then I wasn't
gonna ask his permission.

No! Levy's crash was
only due to pilot error.

I will not allow you to
take my place in the air!

I came here to fly!

That's right, but not to die.

No one is trying to kill me.

My people, the entire country, would
be at the throat of whoever tried it.

But what if the murder
was planned as an accident?

Aram, who would benefit
the most by your death?

Chadal, our prime minister.

Okay.

Now we can't pinpoint what
went wrong in Levy's plane.

The analysts think that the stability
system may have been electronically jammed.

The only chance we
have of finding out is...

if I go up in your place
and see if it happens again.

Look, I ask no one to
risk his life in my place!

I'm not gonna argue with you.

Now until further notice, you're
confined to your quarters...

and you're not to
mention this to anyone.

What?

That's all, Major.

You seem prone to
mistakes, Dr. Winslow.

Even if you had chosen
the correct plane...

the pilot was able to
escape with his life.

Now listen... Don't
raise your voice at me.

No one else in the world
would touch your project.

I suggest you remember that.

I will accept no more mistakes.

You know, I don't think
Aram took it too well.

Oh, he'll get over it.

He always does.

About you taking his flights...

What about it?

I want to go with you.

No way.

Now look. I've beat my brains
out with Linear Control Systems...

and Analog and
Digital Computations...

and Aero elasticity and
Performance Data Reduction...

to make it as a
flight test engineer.

Furthermore...

if you don't take me along, they'll
say it's because I'm a woman...

that'll make you a sexist.

Well, we can't
have that, can we?

Have you been checked
out in a glider spin yet?

No, but we could
do that tomorrow.

All right, what about
tonight? You busy?

No.

Well then I would suggest you
brush up on your egress procedures...

and then how about dinner?

That would be nice.

Oh, that's okay.

Oh, sorry.

Now you were saying
about Nebraska?

Oh, yes.

Well... I was at the
top of my class...

in chemistry and
calculus and physics.

But all that meant in
Grand Island, Nebraska...

was that I would be
a smart housewife.

And now?

I'm shooting for the stars.

An astronaut.

Mm-hmm.

That's a long haul.

The voice of experience.

I know, believe me.

You wanted to know what it was like
being the only woman in a company of men?

Mm-hmm.

It's like being one of the guys.

One of the guys?

With none of the privileges.

And then there's always Aram
to put me back in my place.

A male chauvinist.

Oh, he's the worst.

Did you know that in
Kutan, the women...

Walk behind the men?

Right.

It's not funny, really.

Isn't that Levy?

Oh, yes, it's David.

Do you know it's a shame he's
been kept in the dark about the crash.

Excuse me a minute.

That stuff'll eat
away your liver.

If I live long enough, Colonel.

Well, I've got some good news.

Looks like the stability
system went haywire.

The accident review board's
gonna lift your grounding next week.

And in the meantime?

Barrows and I fall behind
while Sakari and the others fly.

Well, I'm sorry.

Did it ever occur to you, Colonel, that
my crash might not have been an accident?

You should know, that
before I came here, I

was flying patrols
over the Sinai desert...

and I shot down
Sakari's best friend.

"An eye for an eye,"
the Scripture says.

Why don't we talk about that when
your mind's not swimming in that drink.

The rumors are that it was
sabotage, Colonel Austin.

Against Sakari? I doubt that.

If his life was threatened...

the first thing you Americans
would do would be to ground him.

I was the intended
victim, Colonel.

Let me tell you something, Levy.

You want to make it
through test pilot school...

you'd get your head out of the
Sinai Desert, you understand me?

Yes, sir.

You mean you're actually
keeping Prince Sakari captive?

Yeah.

Can't risk him showing his
face here on the ground...

when he's supposed
to be up in the air.

Do you really think someone
sabotaged the plane?

Yeah.

It could happen again?

Look, Jan, you don't have
to go with me tomorrow.

I twisted your arm, remember?

Besides, you'd just
have to get another girl.

Although in these outfits, I don't
think anyone could tell the difference.

Well, I can.

Thank you.

Well, let's give it a try.

You're on your own, Colonel.

Have a good flight and I'll
see you on the ground, sir.

And this is what we call a spin.

Better get used to it.
We do it tomorrow in a jet.

Jan, as soon as I check in
with the tower and change...

I'll meet you... for
some final notes.

Right, Steve.

And then at 15,000 feet,
we begin our first spin.

Assuming a ten second recovery
interval you should finish at approx...

May I buy you a
soft drink, Colonel?

Hey, I think it's about
time we let a little

air outta this thing,
before it explodes.

I know that rumors are
flying hot and heavy...

and I wish I could
explain things, but I can't.

But until I can, I
expect both of you to

behave yourselves like
officers and gentlemen.

And leave your politics at home.

Is the lecture over, Colonel?

Yes, it is.

Excuse me.

About that soft drink...

I want to apologize, Colonel Austin, for
the way I behaved in your office yesterday.

Well, what about
what just happened?

You are an American.

I can't expect
you to understand.

You got some change?

Yes.

Typical American machine.

Y'all ready?

This is just a stupid game.

Now don't leave the room, Major.

Now, Steve, we've monitored
every inch of that plane.

If anything's been tampered
with, we'll know about it.

And Jan, at the
first sign of trouble...

you and that lug in front
of you get out... and fast.

Roger, Oscar. I'll do my best.

All right.

Let's go.

Everything looks
peachy, four-three.

Come out to 15,000
to begin your test.

Roger.

Ready for the spin, Jan?

Whenever you are.

Here we go.

Steve, the stability
systems have gone crazy!

Get out!

Oscar, my eye... Steve?
What's happening?

Steve! Get out of there!

It's a jam, Steve. It had to be.

How's your eye?

Same as before, Oscar.

What's the matter
with your eye, Steve?

I'll explain it too you later.

All right. Halt.

All right. Close that door.

Move!

All right, drive!

Come on, move!

Probably a mobile transmitter.

Seal off the base, Oscar. We're
gonna go down and take a look.

What the heck is
that Arab doing?

So it was Sakari that
you were trying to kill.

Oscar, there's a soft drink
truck headed for the west gate!

Now listen to me, Steve,
let us take it from here.

Roger, Oscar.

We'll bring it in
after this pass.

And I was so sure that
Sakari was after me.

Huh. Who are you?
The King of Persia?

Levy. The man you
almost killed the first time.

Well, your friend's
not gonna be so lucky.

Steve, get that
plane on the ground!

Jan. I can't see.

Read off the altimeter.

8,000.

9,000.

10,000.

1 1,000.

Steve, do you hear me?

Steve? Are you all right?

Well, I think so.

Oscar?

Thank, God.

Steve, get that
plane on the ground.

Just get it out of the air.

Put it down anywhere.

I can see him, Oscar. He's
driving across the lake bed.

Don't take chances,
Steve. It's not worth it.

I'm goin' after him.

I can't see a thing. What
are you talking about?

Stick around, you'll find out.

What the...

You want me? You got me.

It's gonna blow!

Somebody's gonna die...

Winslow!

Shut up!

Where did he go?

Steve!

Steve! It's David.

Get him out of here!

Goodbye, Colonel.

And thanks again.

Good luck, Major.

And David... what can I say?

Try I'm sorry.

I'll do the same.

You nearly gave
your life for me, twice.

I'll not forget that.

Thank you.

I think we both have learned.

I never thought I'd be sad to see the
world's biggest male chauvinist leave.

Can't you stay
and finish school?

With my prime minister in
jail, my country needs me.

Perhaps next
year... or the next.

And what about you,
Lieutenant Simmons?

Who will take my
place as your pilot?

Well, if Oscar doesn't mind, I
could use a refresher course.

Say good-bye to
Colonel Gordon for me.

Tell him I hope he caught
as big a fish as we did.

Was that Sakari?

Yup.

Doggonit, cowboy!

Year in, an' year out,
all I ever get is routine.

You come down here for two weeks, I
go on a vacation... and what happens?

Everything!

You space cowboys
have all the fun.

C'mon. Jump in. No
sense wearin' out your feet.

Did you catch any fish?

Whadda you think,
marshmallow arm?

Come on!
