The Six Million Dollar Man Edit

A cybernetic organism.

A normal man, of course, could not be expected to survive the ordeal.

A reconstructed man capable of inordinate, physical feats.

A robot doesn't have emotional needs and responses.

A weapon that is potentially far more destructive than a cannon.

A week, ten days at the most.

About 18,000 feet.

About 5 to 7?

Absolutely anything his mind tells him to.

Afterwards, when we got to know you, everything was personal.

Al Hagmud been dead five weeks.

All courtesy, all compliments of Uncle Sam.

All I want is to be left alone.

All of it?

Alright, then you'll go in and fly him out safely in the DC 3.

Alright.

Alright.

Alright.

Alright.

Alright. B 52 cameras are on.

An appropriate description.

And as you can see, the conclusions dictate a somewhat different approach.

And call a foundry and have a cannon designed and built for us.

And committed to detent between the Arabs and Israelis.

And drop you by parachute.

And everything was just technical.

And Geraldton, Operational Tactics.

And half a million to a million dollars a year there after to sustain those facilities...

And I paid my obligations above and beyond the call of duty.

And I'm the result. You are the result.

And if it's what you want...

And if they determine you have no use to them...

And in no way will any of her human senses...

And is about 30 yards from this block house...

And maintain the operation.

And now you hold the OSO responsible for those feelings...

And possibly even the eye and make him come out even better

And so on.

And that, Mr. Austin, is where you come in.

And that's where you come in, Doctor.

And the body, in effect, resonates with the impulse.

And they've discovered...

And time is an important factor here.

And to the extent that he is machinery...

And wake him up only when you need him?

And we'll also give you two legs.

And we'll match it perfectly.

And what do I have to do for it?

And what I don't know is how you could possibly send a man to his death...

And where the use of a so called normal agent would be ineffective.

And you want me to spring him? Precisely.

And you'll be able to walk up to her, take her by the hand...

And you've finished learning how to use this arm...

And your air connects, and you've got it from here.

Any change since you called me?

Apparently, in part due to you...

Are you alright?

Are you going to ask for volunteers?

Are you serious?

Are you telling me for the sake of a test you risked an extraordinary man's life?

Are you?

As long as we keep the current going, he'll sleep.

As to why I haven't spoken to you since... that night.

As you can see, it's not finished yet...

As you know, he's being held hostage by a group of terrorists.

As you propose, part machine, part human...

Assassination?

Atta boy.

Based upon hearsay...

Be able to tell her which arm you were given.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Because he's all I had.

Because the eye normally rejects any foreign bodies.

Before I risk World War III on a man...

Bend down here a minute, Spencer, I wanna tell you something.

Both legs are badly crushed.

Boy, you guys really play for keeps, don't you?

But 30 or 40 miles is a serious distance.

But conceivably transcend normal vision.

But how do you test a man to find out if he has the need, the will to survive?

But I felt a lot closer to it then...

But I just wanted to give you a sense of the...

But I must warn you...

But I would've thought that a man with your background...

But I'd hold it just like you are.

But if he should survive, which appears to be doubtful...

But if it doesn't, what do I tell him?

But now, what is the price tag?

But that day, you were in electro sleep.

But they've done a lot of operations...

But to make it, you would have to put out this tank.

But we think it's worth it in order to get the shots.

But with all your technology...

But you have no idea at all about what I do.

But you will have some traveling to do.

But you, my friend...

By angling off to the compass rose.

By then, you might pick up 30 or 40 miles in gliding down.

Can take a man in Steve Austin's condition...

Can you hear me?

Certain jobs where the use of...

Certainly. I wouldn't be sitting here talking with you if they're weren't one.

Check your circuit breakers.

Come here.

Come on Jeff, Steve. Five more degrees.

Come on. I may walk like a two year old, but I'm not that naive.

Come on. Out. Out.

Coming on. I'm indicating 004. How does that look?

Correction. 20,000 feet. I'm sorry.

Cyborg.

Did you?

Do not move!

Do you?

Do your job.

Doesn't your file tell you they'll hold you in contempt for what you've done?

Don't be sentimental. I can always have another cyborg built if this one fails.

Don't make a decision for Mr. Austin...

Don't take any chances, Steve.

Don't you think so, Miss Manners?

Dr. Frankenstein, I presume?

Dr. Wells, listen to me carefully.

Dr. Wells?

Dr. Wells?

Due to the fact that you could replace the parts...

Easy coming around. Atta boy.

Easy.

Easy.

Engine's on. Take her to 4 00.

Especially equipped, as it were, for such projects.

Espionage? Sabotage?

Everything I told Steve Austin...

Everything's fine in here.

Exactly.

Excuse me, General.

Feels real dizzy.

Fighting us?

Finally, though.

Fine. Beautiful, Steve.

Five left.

Fooled you.

For no reason whatsoever.

For the manipulation of the arm and hand and fingers.

For two arms and two legs.

Four months.

From the plane which is on the runway.

General.

General.

Get him out!

Get him out!

Get him out! Get him out!

Get that chopper out of the way.

Get that fire truck out there immediately.

Getting the lady replaced doesn't settle it that easily.

Give him his full weight. See if he can carry it.

Given me the opportunity of my life.

Good luck, Steve!

Good.

Good.

Good. Good. Looks good.

Got you coming through 17,000 feet now.

Great, Steve.

Hang that.

Have a good day.

Have you any idea what time it is?

He can't see us?

He is a vital link to any negotiated settlement in the Mideast.

He is an Arab who chose to remain in Israel.

He lost his right arm in the crash, Mr. Spencer.

He was shot trying to escape.

He won't let us sedate him.

He would be much more durable...

He would be transformed into something that had never before existed.

He would work alone, course.

He'll be alright, ma'am.

He's an Arab, Mr. Austin.

He's got a clear gap.

He's in the front! Get him out of there! He's a baby! He can't get out!

He's not even breathing hard.

He's not in his trailer, sir.

He's the last I'd want to live the way he is now.

Help me strap him down, Jean.

Help! He's right down there!

Help! Help!

Help! Somebody! Help!

Here. Take a card.

Hey, old buddy, right now, get out!

Hey, Steve.

His physical powers would be absolutely awesome.

Hiya, Charlie. How's it going?

Hiya, Gus. Hi, Steve.

Hold it.

Hot. How is he?

How are you able to do that?

How can I communicate with you when you suspect everything that I say?

How did it go?

How did you find out?

How do you do?

How do you know I'll follow through?

How do you know what I've lost?

How long has it been?

How was Malta?

How we looking? Real good.

How's it going?

How's the family? Just great.

However, the gains are open.

I am Israeli.

I am not altogether unfamiliar with him, Doctor.

I am not concerned about feelings. His, yours or mine.

I am prepared to give you all the money you require to make that happen.

I can understand your feelings.

I can't tell you how grateful I am.

I didn't have anything to say.

I didn't know you were here until about three minutes ago.

I didn't say you could touch me.

I didn't tell him that if the operation was a success...

I didn't want to die. I wanted to make it back.

I don't know how he's gonna react.

I don't know.

I don't like that too well.

I don't owe the OSO anything.

I don't want a permanent nurse again.

I don't want anybody here.

I don't want to kill people.

I don't want you in here when he comes to.

I don't. Unfortunately, I have no guarantees.

I felt like taking a walk.

I got a report on what happened.

I guess because it's there.

I had my reasons.

I haven't the faintest idea.

I imagine you're curious.

I know how much things cost.

I know it's old fashioned. But it applies in this instance.

I know that man.

I know. It's the story of my life.

I made it back.

I mean, a man loses an eye.

I mean, if some of the main nerves were affected.

I must know, beyond a doubt, that he is utterly, totally reliable.

I prefer the paraldehyde in case we have to knock him out again.

I suppose you have a file on me, too.

I think he's ready for us now.

I think perhaps a few days off, a little R and R as it were.

I think so.

I thought we were talking about a glass eye.

I wanna know who's paying the freight.

I wanna show you something, Steve.

I wanna thank you.

I want her replaced.

I was a quarter of a million miles away from the real world.

I was in the desert today.

I was there the day they...

I was told this is where you take your breaks.

I won't take it.

I'd like a report of his condition, please.

I'll arrange a briefing for you and transportation.

I'll be here waiting when you get back.

I'll be right with you. Okay.

I'll follow.

I'll get Miss Manners in here.

I'm fine.

I'm fine. I just feel a little cold inside.

I'm going out of here. You coming?

I'm going to stay alive.

I'm gonna tell you everything.

I'm gonna tell you, Steve.

I'm in love with you.

I'm not gonna use the Sparine.

I'm not interested.

I'm not promising, but I'll listen.

I'm not quite sure, Oliver.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure there must be some explanation, General.

I've been through a rather extensive file on him.

If Austin isn't here in two minutes, I'm gonna pull the plug.

If he comes through this...

If he thinks so, I'm for it.

If only these feelings of mine wouldn't keep getting in the way, right?

If the OSO were an artillery outfit...

If we fly you in by air foil parachute, you'd have a four to one glide ratio.

If you can't do it...

If you could get things rolling on it, please.

In fact, quite a desert.

In fact, there's no guarantee that even you...

In fact, virtually limitless.

In short, what I hadn't told Steve Austin...

In some ways I think even better than before.

In the field, under any circumstances over any terrain.

In the past 18 months, we have had three projects...

In the present state of technology, Mr. Austin.

In the same way that a baby has to learn how to grasp...

International confrontations.

Is everything alright?

Is he in a coma? Why?

Is it possible to keep him asleep indefinitely?

Is that a one way mirror?

Is that I've known this boy for a very long time.

It gets too personal.

It is not easy going in broad daylight dragging a cement wall behind you.

It may be more important than your rush to get the hell out of here.

It must be able to reprogram itself in the field...

It must be mobile and self propelled...

It must have superior strength, stability, and utter dependability.

It should work.

It was just an idea.

It will be alive to do what you want it to do.

It will take orders from your brain.

It won't be a long assignment.

It'll be covered with skin that'll match your skin in color and texture.

It's almost 0700.

It's alright. Nothing broken.

It's alright. You're okay. You're clear.

It's hot in here. Let's get this show on the road.

It's infinitely more powerful than your own arm.

It's just like being up there on the moon again.

It's nondepressive as far as the respiratory system is concerned.

It's warm.

Jean, thank you.

Jean?

Jean?

Johnny!

Johnny.

Johnny. God.

Just keep him alive.

Just like the other eye.

Just sits there.

Keep him under between assignments...

Keep it coming Jeff, Steve.

Kind of relaxes me.

Let's get oft the test frequency.

Let's put in another 30 seconds, NASA One.

Look at it, Steve.

Look at it, Steve.

Look, I was a civilian member of the space program for 12 years!

Look, I will not work for the OSO, period!

Look! It's impossible.

Looking real good.

Looks good, Steve. All systems are okay here.

Man flying.

May I touch you?

Maybe this is none of my business, but...

Mr. Austin.

Mr. Austin. We didn't order you into the lifting body you were testing.

My arm didn't come packed in a wooden box!

My God!

Nearby is an reinforced emplacement. There it is.

Negative.

Never mind, just stay here.

Never mind. I'm here to get him out.

No difference.

No one's asking you to. Come on.

No sweat.

No way to reach it.

No, actually, we would've preferred a robot.

No, he's just fighting us.

No, no, accidents happen all the time.

No, the mirror's on his side.

No.

No.

No. He just sits there. He won't let us repair the arm.

No. We're keeping him unconscious.

None that could justify what you've done. None!

Not a bad one at that?

Not by sight, not by touch, not by skin temperature, no way.

Not so alright. Not from the tone of your voice.

Now as you can see, they have been fully prepared for this.

Now come on. Slowly.

Now I have a choice again.

Now notice, please, these two half trucks.

Now take your time.

Now their aircraft is the DC 3...

Now this is where they are.

Now what are you going to do?

Now why am I worth a few million dollars?

Now you all have given me a gift, and I thank you very much.

Now, he'll only have to take care of one.

Now, look here.

Now, Steve.

Now.

Of all the men I know...

Of course.

Of further service to your country.

Of making accommodations for you and your staff on the same plane.

Of use to them? No.

Okay, Cecil, have you got the B 52 in sight?

Okay, hold it. Now, hold it.

Okay, I'll raise the gains.

Okay, just took to your Jeff.

Okay, just took to your Jeff.

Okay, looks good.

Okay, on Theta.

Okay, Steve, go ahead and check your SAS gains

Okay, Steve.

Okay, Steve. Check your dampers, old buddy.

Okay, you're coming up on Theta.

Okay, you're cutting out. Someone's keying your mic.

Okay, you're on track and you're on profile.

Okay, you're over the turn point now.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Going to lower gains.

Okay. Good luck, Steve.

Okay. I got 19.

Okay. I think we need the connection right a little bit high.

Okay. Stand by for system's okay, Steve.

Okay. Take her any place you want.

On pilots who had pieces of broken windshield in their eyes.

On the basis of new information and altered circumstances.

On the contrary. If he survives, you've lost your man.

One minute. Someone's keying their microphone.

One of six civilians so trained and employed.

One of the most powerful men in Israel has been kidnapped by terrorists.

One question.

One robot.

Or upon your own, personal prejudice, Doctor.

Out of a kind of plastic that the eye does not reject..

Out there, just before the sun comes up...

Over my dead body.

Part machine, part human being.

Personnel, would be inappropriate.

Pity.

Please! Get him out of there!

Please! He's stuck! My little boy!

Please?

Please.

Please.

Possibly than he was before, is that correct?

Pull away out there. Give him some room.

Push it. Push it, come on.

Put you back together again.

Really?

Replace the arm and both legs...

Right down to the fingerprints.

Right.

Right. Dim the lights, please.

Rog. Okay, NASA One, I'm gonna try to cut it short...

Roger.

Roger.

Roger. And 008 hold is heading.

Roger. Watch your alpha, Steve?

Roger. We have you at max altitude.

Roger...

Rudy Wells.

Rudy?

Rudy.

Saudi Arabia, of course.

Shall we begin?

Shall we get on with the briefing?

She's really oscillating now.

Ships, planes...

Should he die in the attempt, the Arab world would blame Israel.

Simply because we gave you those two legs and that arm and that eye to see out of?

So that I can feel what I'm touching?

So we spent millions on him. Literally rebuilt him from scrap.

Something like that.

Something like that.

Sorry, Mr. Spencer.

Sparine. 50 milligrams.

Spencer, I'm glad you could come.

Starting my tum.

Stay here. Please! Help him!

Steve Austin is a risk. He was from the very beginning.

Steve Austin isn't anyone.

Steve, I got 18,500 now.

Steve, we're gonna put you back into electro sleep to get you through the pain.

Steve?

Steve?

Steve?

Steve?

Steve?

Still, how can we get out of this building? That door is two inches thick.

Suicidal?

Suppose he doesn't want to do that kind of work.

Supposing I agree to take your assignment, whatever it is...

Tell that to them.

Tell you what we're gonna do.

Ten seconds, Roger.

Than I do now.

Thank God.

Thank God.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That arm, those legs of his will do anything...

That cost too many lives, too much money...

That could cost millions.

That depends upon your ingenuity.

That has a 50 caliber machine gun...

That his new arm with it's nuclear power source...

That his new eye would not only approximate...

That his new legs would enable him to run at incredible speeds.

That in all respects, he'd be a normal man again.

That is risky to the point of threatening uncontrollable...

That made you feel a little like, some kind of a Frankenstein monster?

That perhaps might become damaged.

That runs this motor.

That what you're talking about?

That you will use in your escape.

That's a distance of about 250 yards...

That's for one prototype?

That's good, Steve.

That's it, Steve. Come on. Slow.

That's it, Steve. Put your back into it.

That's it?

That's it. Come on.

That's too bad. The timing is very bad.

That's what you're feeling?

The accident was 36 hours ago. He should be conscious by now.

The Arabs call it 'Ar Rab Al Khali'...

The basic structure.

The cannon is a 105 millimeter.

The cyborg.

The day they worked out the built in vibratory sensors in the fingertips.

The difference is when the bill comes due.

The limits are here, Miss Manners. Here.

The number of hairs of your forearm.

The problem is, it's all on paper.

The problem then is to get him out.

The pulse matches the alpha rhythm...

The skin on the fingertips will have your fingerprints on them.

The terrorists have nothing to gain from peace.

The thing is, Doc Why? Why?

The use of one single force...

The winds are down to about five or six knots.

The winds are westerly at 10 knots.

Their coming to power depends on a war.

Then I know that I have my man.

Then in effect, they're dammed if they do and dammed if they don't.

Then nobody can.

Then your intelligence is a bit dated.

Theoretically it could work, yes.

Theoretically.

There is no end to obligations.

There it is in close shot.

There was no other way.

There's a manual that goes with it. It has 840 pages. I'll give you a copy.

There's absolutely no habitation of any sort and a great deal of sand, as you can see.

There's nothing else like it in the whole world.

They are manned by 30 caliber machine guns.

They are unpredictable.

They can use me as bait for prisoner trade.

They gave me a long lifeline.

They have touch circuits built into it.

They will question you.

They will shoot you.

They'd never accept you.

They'll simply kill Al Hagmud straight away. Lights please.

They're not gods, you know.

They're shut down now.

Think I got time for a shave?

Think it over.

This fly by was a calculated risk...

This is a nuclear powered electrical generator...

This is a process called electro sleep. We got it from the Russians.

This is Ali Ibn Jabral Hagmud.

This is AS Of. B 52 is ready for taxi.

This is Mr. Spencer of the Office of Strategic Operations.

This is NASA One calling ten seconds now.

This is NASA One, you're just a little inside of track...

This is NASA One.

This is not something alien.

This is Nudaylah, desert survival.

This is your arm, Steve.

This is your arm.

This is your arm.

This motor provides power...

This will reassure him. Unconsciously anyway.

Those were our specifications.

To establish the facilities...

To put down, to pick up.

Too bad. It's a great trick.

Trim looks good.

Twelve brilliant years.

Two hands, both mine.

Understand me well ...

Unnecessarily.

Very rich, very powerful...

Vitamins.

Wait a minute, you took off on 2 2?

Walk?

Want some help?

Was designed to reassure him...

Was that if my theories prove correct...

Was the extent to which he'd be abnormal.

Watch your gear.

We always try to imitate nature. Do her one better.

We are going to put you back on the operating table.

We are not, however, an artillery outfit.

We cannot storm them, because if we do...

We didn't connect it to anything real or living.

We do need a different kind of a weapon.

We estimate the cost to be roughly six million dollars...

We feel that an agent...

We generate an electric pulse directly into his skull through those electrodes.

We had to cut them off and he's blind in one eye.

We have a job for you.

We have a touchy situation, Mr. Austin.

We have given you something back that you've lost and that is all.

We have no need of more than one till we work out the bugs.

We have work for him.

We have you because you are the optimum compromise...

We just couldn't get there from here.

We leave within the hour.

We make jet plane windshields...

We may as well begin to deal with it as a fact.

We merely picked up the pieces and unlike Humpty Dumpty...

We ran an analysis on the subject.

We would very simply pick up the telephone...

We wouldn't have to do this if he were totally powerless.

We'd better sort this out, Steve.

We'll fly you in as close as we can without alerting them, of course...

We'll just start with scrap.

We'll take care of his future. You take care of his present.

We're also concerned about injury to the spinal column.

We're going to connect this arm to you permanently.

We're gonna have to have Mr. Austin repaired and modified.

We're in a time bind, Doctor.

We're not talking about a nurse assigned to a case.

We're rather proud of it.

We're talking about a man and a woman and feelings.

We're transferring Steve Austin to our Research Center in Colorado.

We've been watching your work very close for some time, now.

We've given him food and he won't eat.

We've given you and eye for an eye, haven't we? An arm for an arm.

We've got your pitch pulse here. Looks real good.

Well, congratulations, Steve.

Well, he may not be able to use his remaining arm.

Well, I haven't been called that since grammar school.

Well, I was always hoping you would.

Well, let me tell you what's involved.

Well, let's cut through this nonsense. We're pressed for time.

Well, Mr. Austin. Glad to see you're looking so fit.

Well, Mr. Spencer, you've...

Well, then, you're his only hope.

Well, they used to think that was impossible...

Well, unless you've got something, I don't have anything else.

Well, where in blazes is he?

Well, you see, his lungs are used to handling oxygen for the blood supply...

Well...

Westerly at about 10 knots.

What about the winds?

What are you so suspicious of?

What are you?

What do you mean?

What do you want?

What happens after he's been equipped with all these new parts?

What I couldn't rebuild into him was attitude.

What I didn't tell him, because I didn't feel he was ready for it...

What if I trade places with him?

What kind of work?

What will it look like when it's in place?

What will the other one feel?

What would you tell anyone?

What you don't understand, Mr. Spencer.

What's going on here?

What's the difference how I found out? I know.

What's the difference?

What's the problem, Doctor?

Whatever it takes, we want you to do it.

When all this is done...

When I was a kid, it really used to bug me.

When I was up there on the moon, Doc...

When the shooting starts, run for the plane, start it up.

When we're through...

When we're through...

When you get a chance, come about five degrees left.

Where do you get the raw materials, Oliver?

Where does he come off keeping us all waiting?

Where does he think he is?

Where have you been?

Where we believe Al Hagmud is kept.

Where's Al Hagmud?

Whether or not you could feel or touch anything?

Which one do I touch you with?

Which translates as 'The Empty Quarter'.

Who are you? What are you doing here?

Who can make him a new eye to see out of?

Who's watching me??

Why didn't they kill you, too?

Why don't the Israelis get him out?

Why don't you just let him die?

Why is that?

Why, what?

Why?

Why? Because you had an experience this afternoon...

Will you brief him on Steve's condition, please?

Will you sit with me a minute?

Winds are okay, Steve.

With the kind of the life that you led would lead you to want to be...

Won't feel any pain.

Would be the best compromise this particular time.

Would have the strength of a bulldozer.

Would you take over from here, Mr. Geraldton, please?

Yeah, because it's there.

Yeah, something like that.

Yeah. Always finally.

Yes, Dr. Wells. Of course we play for keeps.

Yes, it would've been simpler.

Yes, of course.

Yes, sir?

Yes, thank you.

Yes, we've had to settle for that.

Yes, well, I'm sure you'll work it out, Doctor.

Yes, why?

Yes?

Yes. He's a very close friend, I understand.

Yes. We trained him, we taught him, we tested him...

Yes. Yes, it is.

You alright?

You claim that you and your research team...

You do.

You don't really know what kind of work we do, Doctor.

You fly that little number out there?

You got a positive genius for antagonizing the wrong people.

You had twelve years.

You have a remarkable opportunity, Doctor.

You know, Doc...

You know, Doctor, what this is, is impossible.

You know, that's why I wanted to go to the moon.

You know, you're more of a robot than I am.

You lied.

You remember you asked me about feeling?

You should've been me.

You'll be able to dance with her.

You'll be able to hold a woman in your arms...

You'll be healing while you sleep, okay?

You'll forgive me if I've taken the liberty...

You'll forgive me if my anxiety is showing.

You're going to have to deal with those feelings.

You're on energy, Steve, and you're heading right for the turn point.

You're the doctor.

You're very good at what you do.

Zero, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

8 9, get on your way!

18,000 now. Thanks, Bill.

20 years ago, so was the four minute mile.

35 to 4 0 degrees.

280, 270 knots.

Is that what you're telling me? Please, please, Wells.

Please sit down. All.

There's another pulse. And the pulse looks good here.

Dr. Wells? I'm here.
