[wall rumbling]

[alarm blaring]

This is GD2, I've got an alarm in B section receiving area.

[rumbling]

Hi, Steve.

The OSI was monitoring the police channels as usual

when we heard about this.

- No explosives? - None.

What do you think?

Well, if I didn't know better, I would think

a bionic man came through here.

You haven't gone into business for yourself, have you, pal?

That's not funny. How much was stolen, anyway?

Twenty-one gold bars.

That's about 500 pounds.

That's an awful lot of weight for somebody to tote outta here.

It's an awful lot of money, too.

Over a million dollars.

I'll have a look outside.

[mysterious music]

[beeping]

[Man 1] The creature of legend that roams the timberline,

my people named him, Sasquatch.

You call him, Bigfoot.

[dramatic music]

[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 2] Roger.

[Man 3] Inboards and outboards are on.

I'm comin' forward with the side stick.

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

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

- [Man 2] 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 break...

[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.

[theme music]

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

Give me a readout on today's work.

That's enough for now. Let's head in.

Synapse circuitry seems a little slow.

Have you noticed it?

No.

[music continues]

[music continues]

- Hi. - Hi.

- How are you? - I'm okay.

How's your 10,000-mile check-up doing?

Fine.

Oscar, I--I think something is bothering, Steve.

What do you mean?

I--I don't know. Maybe it's me.

But, uh...

he--he's been acting so strange,

kind--kind of distant, you know, the last few days.

Yes, I've noticed that, too.

What do you think it is?

I don't know. Maybe...

- Oh. - Hi.

- Hi, Jaime. Oscar. - Hi, Steve.

- Jaime - Hi.

- It's good to see you. - Thanks.

Hi, Oscar.

Steve? Um...

Have I--have I done something to upset you?

No. Why?

Well, I don't know, you just seem kind of...

preoccupied these days.

I was wondering what was on your mind.

Let me show you something.

Oh! Ho-ho! Whose foot is that?

The Indians say it's the print of the Sasquatch.

We found it in Northern California mountains last year.

Right, that's... The Sasquatch is the, uh...

The legendary creature that the white men name, Bigfoot.

Right, and I can see why they call it, Bigfoot.

[chuckles]

Did you actually get to see the creature that made that thing?

No, we never saw it, Jaime.

[mysterious music]

What's the matter?

I don't know. It's, it's like there's something there.

Like I can almost remember, but not quite.

It's frustrating.

Oh, tell me about it.

I'm the one that wrote the book on partial memory, remember?

Yeah.

Hey, why don't we, uh, go out and take your mind off it?

I think we could go for a walk or something.

Hey, make it a bionic run. Will you?

I--I could check your heart pulse when you get back.

Slave driver.

- How about it? - Sure.

Okay.

[mysterious music]

[intense music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[beeping sound]

What's the matter?

I don't know. I, I was running with someone else.

Bionically.

Uh, when?

I don't know.

Well, Steve, there just aren't any other women

to run around with.

- Bionically, anyway. - I know, but, uh...

[beeping]

[twig snaps]

What it is?

I just heard something up there. Can you see anything?

[beeping]

No. Uh, there's nothing up there to see.

[dramatic music]

[buzzing]

How did you...

Please, forgive me, Colonel Austin.

But I--I need your help, desperately.

Where did you come from?

I know you weren't just hiding under the table.

My name is Gillian.

Colonel Austin, you won't remember my people.

And my powers to restore your memory are severely limited.

But if you'll close your eyes, I can--

- Wait a minute. - Please, Colonel Austin.

You must trust me.

I can explain why this footprint has been troubling you.

It's extremely important, Colonel Austin.

Many of my people may die.

Many of your people, too.

Please.

- All right. - Close your eyes.

And concentrate intensely.

I will remind you of what happened.

In the California mountains last year,

you encountered the Sasquatch.

We sent him to test your strength.

You were an admirable match for him.

We discovered that his construction

was similar to your own.

You followed him to our complex,

where we subdued you and tested your abilities further.

Right leg and right foot definitely non-synthetic,

or perhaps first generation bionic.

[indistinct]

No, nuclear.

Also left leg and left foot.

[Gillian] Then our leaders introduced themselves.

I am Apploy.

I am Shalon.

Shalon.

Do you remember Shalon?

[mellow music]

Yes, I think so.

It was Shalon who sent me to find you.

Do you remember who we are?

We're a group of deep space explorers.

Yes.

Then there was an earthquake.

[dramatic music]

[Gillian] You and the Sasquatch

dug down to our volcanic vent.

You restored our power and saved our complex.

Ground the cable first.

The gold junction box over there.

[Steve] What do you think?

[Shalon] He'll be all right.

The Neotraxin will ward off any infection or disease.

Even help speed up the recovery.

He should have died from all his wounds.

That's really magical stuff.

Then we erased your memory of us.

[mellow music]

You will not be forgotten.

I wish I could say the same.

Do you remember now?

Yeah, parts of it.

I mean, I can feel that it happened.

But it, it still seems like it was all a dream.

And what I can't understand is how you just appeared here.

Oh. Oh, this.

It's a timeline converter, uh, TLC.

It allows us to move faster or slower through time

than the objects around us.

So we can apparently disappear

and reappear somewhere else.

We can't go through locked doors.

But we can go through unlocked ones so fast you can't see us.

I know all of this must be very difficult

for you to grasp suddenly.

But we need your help badly.

But why? What's happened?

Some of our people...

under one named Ned lick,

have broken away from us.

They radioed our mother ship that our complex

was contaminated and to abandon all of us.

W--Why would they wanna be left here?

Well, they want to enjoy the fruits of this planet

and have dominion over it.

The Sasquatch tore our power converter.

There was a burst of radiation

and many people were badly injured.

Shalon?

Yes, that's why she wanted me to find you.

Will you help us?

Please.

Well, I'll try.

At least the bionic gold robbery makes sense now.

- Bigfoot must have broken in there. - Yes.

Do you have any idea where they are now?

Or what their next move might be?

No.

[intense music]

[crickets chirping]

Well, I think that should be more than enough gold.

Don't you, Ned lick?

For now, yes.

Listen, Ned lick, our power cells are running very low.

Everything is proceeding according to plan, Faler.

But how much longer will we have to stay in this hole?

As soon as we gather the three remaining items,

we will be able to establish our new base.

How long will that be?

You said that once we left the St. Angelo complex,

the Earth and all of its riches would be at our feet.

Your lack of patience is extremely trying, Faler.

Listen, Ned lick, it's not just me.

- There are others that I talk to-- - Sasquatch.

Put it down. Come here.

[grunts]

Faler, let's be clear on two points.

I am the leader here.

And with the help of the Sasquatch,

our new base will be established.

Then, whatever we want on this planet will be ours.

All right?

Dallet...

I want you to come with the Sasquatch and me.

It's time to attack our new target.

Are you sure we can rely on the Sasquatch?

Quite sure.

I have my ways.

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

That's it, Sasquatch, the emeralds.

Someone is coming.

I want no witnesses.

Prepare to attack him.

[music continues]

I said attack.

[shrill noise]

Do as you're told or your friend, Shalon,

will get the same treatment.

It's very effective.

But you really couldn't hurt Shalon, could you?

No, of course not. But the stupid animal doesn't know that.

And it makes him very obedient.

[music continues]

[growling]

Sasquatch, return now.

[music continues]

Steve, look how this vault door was torn open.

Look at that.

Looks like whoever hit the gold depository hit here, too.

Only this time, the thief came and went

through this third story window.

You got any ideas?

- Uh, no. - You sure?

That's really strange, isn't it?

Yes, really is strange.

Listen, there's nothing more I can do here,

I'm gonna go back to the ranch.

Gotta meet somebody, uh...

Anything turns up, let me know.

I'll do that.

[mysterious music]

[Gillian] They only stole emeralds?

Yes, but they left behind a fortune in diamonds.

Now, why would they do that?

I'm not sure.

But I do know that jewels can be used

in a lot of other ways, you know, like watches

and electronic components.

See, I don't think they stole the gold and emeralds for their value,

but to use in some kind of electronic device.

Well, Shalon may be able to tell us.

She's an electronic genius.

[beeping]

[grunts]

It's not gonna work.

Ned lick took the power converter.

Our transmission strength is very low.

Would a larger antenna help?

It might.

Would this work?

Well, it--it might.

It needs to be triangular.

[music continues]

[metal creaking]

Try that.

[beeping]

Apploy, this is Gillian.

Can you hear me?

Yes, just barely, Gillian.

Have you contacted Colonel Austin?

Yes, he's here.

But we need Shalon's help.

How is she?

She's not well. Wait a moment.

Speak to them.

[mellow music]

Hello, Steve Austin.

Shalon. Are you all right?

Yes, I'm as well as could be expected under the circumstances.

It's good to see you again, even this way.

- Yes, it is. - We must talk quickly, though.

Our power level is very low.

Have you located my Sasquatch?

No, Ned lick and his people

have used him to steal some gold and some emeralds.

Colonel Austin thinks that they may be planning

to use them in the construction of some kind of an electronic device.

[Gillian] Could that be it?

Gold, emeralds.

- Oh, no. - What is it?

Gold and emeralds are,

are two of the elements needed to construct

a phase lock magnet on.

- What is that? - It's a device that can create

an impenetrable field of magnetic force around their base.

You mean that nobody could attack them?

[Shalon] I'm afraid so.

And then with our advanced technology,

they'd be free to loot and pillage and demand

whatever they wished of your planet.

Shalon, you said two of the elements they needed

were gold and emeralds.

What's the third one?

The third element...

is a rare isotope of radioactive boron 3.

And then they need

a small amount of extremely dense titanium alloy.

Well, I guess we'll have to try and stop them.

Is there anything we can do for you?

Yes.

Just get our power converter back to us as quickly as possible.

Our complex here is dying.

Are you taking the Neotraxin?

The drug is in very short supply here now, Gillian.

Shalon you must take it.

Yes, yes, I will.

[mellow music]

Thank you for helping us, Steve.

You're our only hope now.

Hm. I wonder where they'd look for the boron isotope.

Well, the nearest place would be the, uh,

San Carlos Nuclear Research Facility.

If they follow their pattern, they'll probably get there tonight.

And we'll be waiting for them.

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

The isotope storage unit is through there.

- I'm going to go on in. - [Gillian] Be careful.

You can count on it.

[intense music]

[music continues]

[growls]

[low growling]

What's happening? Why doesn't he attack?

I don't know.

Attack, Sasquatch.

[growling]

[Ned lick] Attack.

Now, take it easy.

We're friends, remember? Let's keep it that way.

Sasquatch, attack

or you know what happens to Shalon.

[growling]

How'd he know that we'd be here?

Ned lick.

Of course. Gillian.

Go get her.

All right.

[intense music]

[music continues]

[door creaking]

[music continues]

[growling]

[metal clangs]

[music continues]

[music continues]

All right, freeze, mister. Hit the deck.

- Come on hit the deck. - Wait a minute.

I'm Colonel Steve Austin.

I don't care if you're Nelson Rockefeller.

Hit the deck. Come on.

[crickets chirping]

[dramatic music]

Hi, is Colonel Austin in here?

Yes, ma'am, but no one is allowed in.

[Oscar] And the National Security Bureau,

the secretary... they're all over me.

I can't say that I blame them, Colonel Austin.

Look at this record, three criminal acts, all worth a lot of money,

and all with the absolute evidence of bionics.

[Oscar] And now, you're caught at the scene

of the third crime with one guard saying, quote,

"that he saw you throw a steel drum on him."

- Do you believe that? - I don't wanna believe it.

But who else could throw a steel drum?

Oscar, I didn't throw it at him. I...

Are you gonna tell us what happened?

We're trying to help.

I--I promised to keep it a secret.

Anything you say stays with us.

Steve. Trust us.

[Steve] I guess you're right, if I can't trust you two--

[Oscar] You know you can.

[Steve] You're not gonna believe it.

In the California mountains, there's a colony of aliens,

explorers from some deep space.

Space people?

[Oscar] In the mountains? Where?

[Steve] I don't know exactly.

But they've been here for 250 years.

They can move forward through time at the blink of an eye.

They also control the Sasquatch.

- Bigfoot? - That's right.

But a group of rebels broke away from the main complex.

And they took the Sasquatch with 'em.

They've been using Bigfoot to steal these materials to create

some sort of magnetic force field around their new base

to make it invulnerable.

I told you you wouldn't believe it.

Oscar, you remember last year,

- that day I disappeared in the mountains? - Yes.

[Steve] Bigfoot took me to their complex.

I met these people. I talked with 'em.

Well, why didn't you tell me about it then, Steve?

Because they erased my memory.

[Oscar] Erased your memory?

Look, I know it all sounds crazy. But it's true.

Wait a minute.

They gave me some of their wonder drug.

It--it could, it could cure most all diseases

and help heal injuries in no time.

They called it Neotraxin.

- Well, what happened to it? - I gave it to you

to give to Rudy to have it analyzed.

[Oscar] Well, I don't remember too much about that.

I, I do remember that I was worried about you.

You had a head injury during the earthquake.

There's nothing wrong with my head, then or now.

Now, Steve, how come you can remember this now?

Because they sent this woman, named Gillian,

to--to ask me to try and help them.

And she can move through time like you say?

- Yes. - Well, maybe we can meet her.

But she must have been captured by the rebels

when the boron 3 was stolen.

[Steve] Wait a minute.

Now, there's proof for you.

I was taken prisoner, yet the boron 3 was still stolen.

National Security Bureau had us check on that.

Boron 3 leaves a radioactive infrared trace.

Now, our instruments picked up a trail

which led outside the compound and stopped.

Well, that's right. Because Bigfoot carried it out.

Then the rebels must have taken it, using their TLCs,

traveling much faster than normal,

which means that the infrared trail must still be there,

but much fainter than normal.

Isn't that possible, Rudy?

- Well-- - Well, of course, it is.

And I can trace it with my eye. All I need is a helicopter.

- Can't do that, Steve. - [Steve] Wha...

The National Security Bureau

- asked me to turn down your bionics. - What?

Oscar's been fighting with 'em all morning.

The only thing they'll agree upon is to keep you're here under house arrest.

But there's no time for that. You two have got to trust me.

No, I guess you don't have to trust me.

[dramatic music]

Steve!

You are gonna trust him.

[intense music]

What's the status of the magnet on?

We are well on to stage three, just about to integrate

the boron isotope.

Excellent.

Yes, Faler?

You were apparently correct.

It looks as if Austin's own people are blaming him for our thefts.

I saw him escape.

And he's coming here now in a helicopter.

Probably following the boron traces. Good.

Good?

Yes, we'll let Colonel Austin take the blame

one last time and then to use that quaint Earth expression,

we'll kill two birds with one stone.

Sasquatch, come here.

[growling]

[helicopter whirring]

[beeping]

[device beeping]

Listen, Ned lick, Austin must be less than a 100 miles away by now.

I'd estimate 80, go back to the task I assigned you,

everything's under control.

Where's Ned lick planning to establish his new base?

I don't know or care so long as it's away from here.

- What's in here? - Stay out of it.

It's Neotraxin!

How much of the drug did you take from the complex?

[Faler] I don't know.

You must've taken almost all of it!

So... Hey, come back here!

Ned lick, do you know how much Neotraxin you have?

Yes.

You have to give at least some of it back.

No, we may need it. In the future.

But Shalon and many others need it now!

They will die without it.

[sighs] Do I have to listen to this trivia?

- Take her away from me. - Please, Ned lick, it's the...

- Please! It's the only... No! - Sedate her if you must.

Austin is probably almost on top of us. That boron trail--

Will take him right where we want him.

What?

All right, Faler, if it'll make you more comfortable

to know the plan,

we'll eradicate the trail that leads to here.

Dallet, you and the others will move to the new permanent base of operations.

As soon as you get there, you will drill the volcanic vent

to power the base and also the phase lock magnet on.

- And what about you? - Hmm.

The Sasquatch and I will leave a new boron trail

for Colonel Austin to follow.

Right to the security area where we will

acquire the titanium alloy.

The final element which is necessary to make us invulnerable.

There Colonel Austin will have his final encounter

with the Sasquatch,

whose strength I have just increased.

[dramatic music]

[buzzing]

[intense music]

[helicopter whirring]

[beeping]

[music continues]

Now, when Colonel Austin tries to stop you,

you will attack and kill him.

Is that understood?

You will do as I say.

Otherwise, Shalon will die by electrocution.

Is that clear?

[growling]

Very well.

Go and get the titanium alloy.

[music continues]

[growling]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[whirring]

I told you to attack him.

[music continues]

[metal creaking]

[music continues]

Attack.

Attack, Sasquatch.

[music continues]

Attack!

[growling]

[electricity zapping]

[growling]

Attack, Sasquatch

or Shalon will die at the San Angelo complex.

San Angelo?

[Ned lick] Attack!

Sasquatch, attack!

[groaning]

[growling]

[electricity zapping]

[growling]

[zapping]

[somber music]

Very well done, Sasquatch.

Now we have everything we need

to make our new base invulnerable.

No one can stop us now.

[mellow music]

[Ned lick] Return immediately.

[music continues]

[mysterious music]

- Oscar, how is Steve? - Not good.

Rudy's been in surgery with him since before I called you.

What is all this junk about him stealing gold and jewels

and whatever else?

I don't want to believe it's true, but I can't help facing the facts.

- Oh, come on. - Jaime...

I think there's something wrong with his mind.

He tore through one of our storage areas

and seriously injured himself.

Steve injured himself?

Oscar, what about the story that he told you

a--ab--about these people, uh...

From outer space up in the mountains.

All right, I know it sounds a little crazy to me, too.

But Steve said they were there.

All right, suppose there are there.

Suppose they're there up in the mountains.

There's 6,000 miles of country up there.

Where do you suppose we should start, huh?

Rudy, how's Steve?

He's bad.

Nuclear cells that power his bionics burst.

He took a severe dose of radiation.

- I don't think he'll make it. - What?

Is--is--is he conscious?

No.

He may never regain it.

It's probably not much more than 24 hours left.

[dramatic music]

- Can I see him? - Yeah.

[beeping]

Oh, Steve.

[Steve] Jaime.

Steve?

[beeping]

[Steve] Jaime.

Go ahead. I can hear you.

Many... will die...

unless...

Unless what, Steve?

We find... Shalon.

She'll...

help.

Maybe...

stop them.

[music continues]

Steve, this wonder drug you said that they had,

if I could get it, cou--could it save you?

Ca--can you tell me where to look?

Fault... fault line.

San Angelo.

[music continues]

Jaime.

Jaime, Jaime.

Oh, Steve, I'm here.

Beware the Sasquatch.

Much... stronger...

than we are.

What?

Hurry, Jaime.

Not...

Not... much... time.

Steve?

Ste...
