Original subtitles

Hi,

nice to see you.

Well, I'm glad you could make it, Ashley.

Have a good time.

Always a pleasure.

For you or for me, General Serinsky?

For both, of course.

Better conditions than the last time we met, yes? As far as your premier is

concerned. The last time we met never happened.

Let us leave it that way. Better for Dayton.

I have a good memory, General.

As do I.

As do I. If you'll excuse me.

How are we doing?

Any international incidents I should know about?

The old guard is a little tense, Alec.

This whole Glasnost scenario is floating on a sheet of black ice. One explosive

word, one long move.

One American agent found in an alleyway in Red Square and these games will be

over before world unity begins.

You sound a little old guard yourself, Oscar.

What? Does a room with this many enemies in it make you nervous? You're damn

right it does. I didn't spend 30 years behind an OSI desk pushing pencils or

shoving pins into third world hot spots. I was out in the field. I was out in the

action.

I watched Comrade Kelligent over there, the smiling bear in the dinner jacket,

calmly order the execution of one of my best agents.

And that charming general, Vianney's wife, 50 medals, Zorinsky.

He put Steve Austin in a room about the size of a coal cellar. Take it easy,

boss.

You worked 30 years to get to this moment.

Watching all these enemies embrace the tone, try to enjoy it.

Speaking of Steve Austin, Colonel Austin will be here.

I got a message. He needs to see me.

Okay, give it another rehearsal. Wait a minute.

Spotlight hits you.

Comedy club audience, no mercy.

Eight manic leeches ready to suck the lifeblood out of you if you happen to go

over big. But hey, just relax.

A good gig at the club last night? Oh, Adam Howling.

I think it was for my blood.

Anyway, I'm my uncle.

Oh, there's a scary thought.

And you come up to me and say...

Oscar, look, this may come to you as a shock.

Ah, no, it won't.

He's known how you've felt about her longer than you have, pal. But I do have

to ask her, and I just don't know how to do it.

She always says, say what's in your heart, even if it is made of Teflon.

That's great. I'll use it. Oscar, since you're the man of words, I thought maybe

you could diplomatically, tactfully, and with a minimum of preamble, tell me how

to... Oh, wait, wait, just a minute. I'm the one that's going to ask about you.

And all I want from your uncle is just... Insight?

Wisdom.

Dutch courage? That boat of mine better be gleaming in the dark tomorrow when I

get there. Because if it isn't, you're going to be out of a job. There won't be

anything funny about that.

Oscar,

there you are.

So, General McAllister, I understand you want to reorganize my department.

Goldman, I'm a military man. I'm told there's a problem.

I take as many men as I need. I come in, I clear it up, and I leave without any

regrets or annihilation.

The OSI needs new rules, needs new guidelines, new blood.

We'll see.

By the way, have you talked to Steve Austin yet about security on these World

Unity Games?

It's a request from the President of the United States.

I know which President you're talking about, General.

No, I haven't talked to Colonel Austin. You see, he doesn't work for me.

But he might do it for me, as a favor, a friend.

But then, I don't know whether you'd understand something like that.

Loyalty between colleagues.

I believe that's in the manual.

We're ready.

Maintain radio silence. We're entering Pentagon airspace.

Okay, four minutes, twelve seconds.

Hey, big guy. It's been a while. Hey, Jim.

Jim Castillo.

That's with two L's.

James Goldman.

One L. Oh, your Oscar's nephew.

That's right. I heard you were in town. You're training for the games, aren't

you? Uh-huh. Running the 400 and the hurdles. Fastest thing on two legs.

Except, of course, for Alice Grayson.

I never did catch her in four years of college.

Used to be an athlete myself.

You can probably tell.

Not much time for it now.

You're in the OSI dodging bullets in the interoffice memo.

See, if you're looking for James... Who said I was looking for... She's right

over there.

Melting Charlie Estridge's heart.

See if that were possible.

I hear it's made of dry ice.

She is looking D.D.G. tonight.

That's drop-dead gorgeous.

Oh.

Good luck, big guy.

Everybody know what I'm gonna ask Jamie.

Go for it.

Smart and beautiful.

How do you do it in the summers?

My secret.

You must share it with me sometime.

An attractive offer. Do I have time to think about it? Take all the time you

need. That's right. You're the man who feels that time is a convenience man has

worked out to run his life.

Oh, now, when did I say that?

I think it was as I was stepping out of my limo and you were already up here.

How could that be?

Lucky guess, based on your reputation.

Don't pay too much attention to that. And I won't pay too much attention to

your bionics.

Bionics?

That word isn't familiar to you?

We like to keep a friendly eye on our partners at the OSI.

Help them keep their secrets.

Isn't that right, Colonel Austin? I wouldn't know. I can't seem to keep a

secret from anybody.

Hello. Hello, darling.

You know Charles Estiman? He's the deputy director of the CIA.

We usually meet at functions like this?

I don't think there's been a function like this.

If you'll excuse me, I know you two have a lot to talk about.

How did he know that?

What?

Oh, nothing.

You look absolutely stunning.

You look rather charming yourself.

Thank you.

I understand you're going to be handling the security for the World Unity Games.

That Oscar trapped you into that.

Would you like to dance?

I knew there was a reason Oscar asked me here tonight.

What with Oscar, there usually is a reason. You going to do it?

When I refuse, he comes up with low blows like your country, your

friendship. Oh, you're the best.

I've heard a few of those myself.

Oh, Oscar said there was something you wanted to ask me.

Oh, he did.

What about the limo driver that brought you here tonight did he mention anything

no good

Well, here I am Jamie you know how I feel about Are

you I mean us in the restaurant when we escaped from fortress I wouldn't forget

that. Well, you said you needed a little time to... Time to?

To get to know me again, and I think we've done that. Done what?

Well, gotten to know each other and how we feel.

Well, nobody knew that.

And now... Now?

Jamie.

Yes?

Jamie, will you?

Will I?

I'm sorry. Someone has shut down our security.

Let's go.

Will you excuse me?

I might, but you have to ask.

Don't be clueless, babe.

We've got the exit soon, but I can't find Oscar.

I need some help. You burn them on your own, Dad.

Happy birthday, Katie.

Just for you. Hope you like them. There you go, sweetie.

Oh, look at her.

Oh. Oh, Kate.

Katie. Katie, you all right?

Let me help you, okay? Come on. I'm all right.

Come on. Let me help you. Go.

the wheelchair cake oh my god i don't want not another one that took courage

hi hi and here you come in

getting back into that wheelchair was no special act of courage just

something we're all taught to do in rehab automatically that isn't what i'm

talking about i was talking about somebody helping you and you letting

them

Denise gave you back that book and you took it. You didn't let anybody at the

party feel sorry for you. That took courage.

They were about to be poisoned by my father. I felt sorry for them.

Are we getting close?

I guess you're wondering what the gimp's doing sitting in the dark. I really,

really hate it when you call yourself that.

Yeah, me too.

But it's who I am, Jamie.

That's me on that screen.

I got to know that girl.

She had friends and a family that loved her and they didn't care if she could

walk. You still have those friends and you still have that family. But they

want their cake. That's okay.

It's okay.

Danny, I've been in this wheelchair since I was six.

Before I could understand words like congenital disease and muscular

deterioration.

If this bionic thing works, I'll be a completely new person.

Yeah.

I don't know if I could go with her.

I don't even know if I like her. Oh, I do.

I don't know what I'm trying to say.

How about you're scared to death?

Oh, I know that one.

When I woke up from that parachute jump and I saw what had happened to me.

I was angry,

and I was bitter, and then I got really, really scared.

But, Kate, you chose this.

And they chose you, and they chose you because of all of the qualities that

make you Kate. Well, what if the Oziers made a mistake?

What if I'm not the person that they'd hope I'd be? What if I'm not a Jamie

Summers? They don't want a clone of me, okay?

They couldn't handle it. They've had too many problems with me over the years.

Start having confidence in yourself.

They believe in you. I believe in you.

I don't know if that means anything to you, but I know what I'm talking about,

okay? It means everything to me, it does.

Look, honey, if you just want some more time, I can talk to Rudy. If you don't

think you're ready, I will talk to him. No matter what, no matter what, I'm

gonna go through with this.

Now this won't hurt you, but you have to be still.

It's fine.

I'm good.

Program is ready.

Not a good thing.

Okay.

Gentlemen, I'd like to give you a thumbnail account of this operation for

the last six months.

What's hanging up on the screen here is an Azarian bone lengthening brace.

There are pins that are inserted into the opposite ends of the bone and they

radiate outwards. They're attached like the spokes on a bike to these two steel

-like devices held apart by metal rods.

Their tension can be adjusted and this device exploits the ability of bone and

their associated tissues to grow in response to that tension.

That's very useful in bionic terms because...

When we add electrostimulative techniques, the bone alloy is stronger

than anything in the world.

During a long series of bionic operations, we inserted thousands of

small nuclear capillaries stitched into new veins.

And all the circuits have to be monitored by a computer.

Just a moment, gentlemen. There's a slight adjustment I have to make.

Hi, Jamie.

Now, what you're not seeing is that we have fixed...

The nerve cell axons, dendrites, and synaptic buttons to a space in the

brain.

Colonel Austin, it's nice to see you again, sir.

Yeah, will you let me through? I'm late for Rudy Wells, Building 10.

Colonel, we received amended instructions. You've been put on ground

level green.

Administered a building in executive offices only.

I'm sorry, sir. What?

You're not going to go bionic on me, are you?

Get ready, Kate.

What's going to happen?

Nothing to worry about. Just a slight surge of electric current.

Do you remember I told you about the limbic system that wraps around the top

of the brain stem?

From its myriad of structures, we get pain and pleasure and memory and the

ability to balance extremes of emotion.

Remember that?

That's what I'm tapped into.

Now, you're a bionic computer.

The one inside your head is going to control all of that.

Once I flip the switch.

Is this a moment you tell me it's not too late to change my mind? No, it's far

too late for that.

It'd be a waste of bionic capillaries.

Well, I know you can't tell me I can just walk away from all of this.

Maybe not now, but you'll be able to.

In just one moment.

If you're ready.

Alright, ladies.

It's all over now, Kate.

Could you join me here, Kate?

I love you, Doctor.

Ladies and gentlemen, come on down and meet our new Bionic Girl.

Way to go, gentlemen.

Way to go.

No, no, no. Take it easy now. Remember, she just got her legs. Thank you.

Mind if I cut in, Ellen?

All right, all right. Come on, come on. Hey, no cringes.

Hi, I'm Senator Johnson. Oh, God, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I guess I just don't know my own strength. I'm sorry.

Oscar. Since when did my security rating at this place go down to the valet

parking level? Have you seen this?

No, what's that?

The newspaper, yes. I've seen that. You haven't answered my question.

If we can calm the Russians down and get Glasnost back to the taunt level, these

games will go on. But it might be without you.

General McAllister is considering taking over the security of the games himself.

Look, if the general wants the job, that's fine.

Just tell me what's happened to make me an overnight security risk. The intruder

in the Pentagon last night was someone within the OSI.

Someone who knew exactly where the card keys were. Someone who had inside

information. Someone who knew exactly what he wanted. You still haven't

answered my question.

That someone was Bionic.

That's not possible.

He nearly killed one of the guards.

He threw two Marines against a wall, picked me up with one hand, and threw me

out of a window.

Now, to my knowledge, there are only four bionic human beings in this world.

You, Steve.

Your son, Michael, who's in Florida, right?

You, Jamie. And Kate, okay, but that's crazy.

She just became bionic a few minutes ago.

Yes, but we don't know that.

Rudy's technology is in place.

Remember, her bionics are different than yours. Her implants are stitched into

her veins.

Those implants could be activated by another computer.

Belonging to who?

Fortress has been disbanded. I mean, who would have that kind of technology?

She's had a tight security band around her for six months.

Who could have gotten to her?

I don't know.

Oscar, she's not a traitor.

I believe that. But General McAllister doesn't.

That's where this is coming from, isn't it? Who's running this outfit now,

Oscar?

Yeah, they're in Goldman's office.

Steve, there's men right outside the door with guns.

Colonel Austin, you'll have to come with us.

On whose authority? General McAllister's. Miss Summers also.

You're making me very nervous.

I'm not paying you back for all the times you made me very nervous.

When was that?

That probably started when we carved our initials on that tree ten years ago.

And where will it end?

You know, you're not taking this very seriously. I do take this very

seriously. Someone inside the OSI is a traitor and bionic.

And if it's not you or me, if it's not Kate... Then who?

How do you do?

Colonel Austin, I'm John McAllister. Yes, I know who you are.

I wouldn't have thought an internal investigation like this would be of much

interest to the CIA.

The files that were stolen were top secret. They pose a formidable threat if

sold to the highest bidder.

And as we know, there are a number of those.

Yes, we know. We have been fighting that problem for years.

I'd like to point out that we no longer work for this organization.

That's why you're being questioned.

You were very quick to get to the scene of the robbery last night, weren't you?

Yeah, I followed Oscar Goleman out of the ballroom.

But when I got there, he had already made his trip through the window.

And Miss Summers?

Miss Summers had just been talking to me. She couldn't be in two places at

once. Now, we're not suggesting that either one of you is the bionic thief.

It's your knowledge that's suspect.

You think we're teaching bionics to the highest bidder?

I'm afraid only Rudy Wells could do that.

And if you suspect him, you know nothing about loyalty, Mr. Esterman.

He's already been questioned.

What about Oscar Goldman? Why not go to the top?

He knows more about bionics than anyone except Rudy.

You gonna roust him, too?

I'm gonna question any damn person I see fit until I find out what happened to

that file last night.

Until I find out who the traitor is.

As far as I'm concerned, nobody is Snow White.

If some foreign power, some group of terrorists, if some individual concern

has found out how to build a bionic man or a bionic woman, just imagine what an

army of them would be like.

You'll be free to go as soon as I've processed your files.

I'm sorry about this. I tried to put a stop to it.

But you'll be out of here fast.

And if you do get any information, come to me with it.

Someone within the OSI would not be trustworthy.

Come to me.

You know, I think Esterman is more than fond of you.

He'll get over it.

You know, I could kick it in.

Well, I think Sergeant Randall's out there waiting for you to do exactly

that. We could... We could use the back door.

I would have thought of that.

How did they get out?

Look, Kate.

Ever since high school... Well, ever since you ran over my foot, but... No.

Without gags, Jimmy.

You're getting like a ventriloquist in magic. Just try going five minutes

without a smart remark, okay?

Kate.

I've loved you...

Ever since Sue Ann Hawkins ravaged the quarterback and I didn't make the team

and... One more time.

Walking or sitting in that chair, you are the most beautiful person I've ever

known.

Not bad, pretty good.

Now I just need Cary Grant to say it.

They're all so excited.

Well, they should be inside of me.

My heart's pounding so loud it's going to wake up the entire neighborhood.

So how'd I do? What are you talking about?

Well, you didn't come here just to meet the family and to see how I'm adjusting.

That's not true, Kate.

Come on.

Actually, we're quite protective of our own at OSI.

Alan. You're right.

We have an internal problem, and it has to do with Bionics. To do with me?

No, no, and I'm going to tell them that.

Actually, I'm going to tell them what they already know.

You're a remarkable young lady.

How did our exit go down?

Very embarrassing, I'm happy to say. Of course, now I can't ask you for that

favor. Oh, yes, you can.

When was the last time this man said no to you?

Hi.

Hello.

Well, Kate is fine.

She said Alan Devlin grilled her for an hour while pretending to get to know her

family and sharing in the joy of her new life.

But he was gentle. Yeah, she's clear. Where does that leave us? In the dark.

Oh, one piece of intelligence I picked up. A name.

Volkov. What does it mean?

I don't know.

Something to do with the games.

Well, these games better be success, or this might be my last mission.

Don't forget you have friends.

How can I forget?

I keep coming to them for help.

Well, I think I'll go down to your boat, take my nephew, Jimmy, out to dinner.

What do you say we join you? Love you two. Come on.

Hey, yo, Jim!

What

the hell's

going on here?

Take it easy, Oscar.

Take it easy, Oscar.

Sounds familiar.

Last year, when your boy was in that plane crash, I said the same thing to

you, Steve. I said, take it easy, Steve.

Everything's gonna be all right. Oscar, he's strong.

He was an athlete, and he was thrown clear. He's going to come through.

Oh, thanks to me. Why are you blaming yourself for this?

It's not your fault.

When his parents died five years ago, I guess it was five years ago, time blurs,

I knew that...

I knew that I could take care of him.

I knew that I could make him part of my life.

But what kind of life was it?

Agents in the field, me in the field, political meetings, reports in

triplicate.

Jimmy, Jimmy, I don't have the time for you.

I just don't have the time for you, but I'll make the time. I promise you I'll

make the time.

My time.

Oscar, I felt the same way about Michael.

I made the time for him, and it worked out. Too late.

Mr. Goldman?

Yes, I'm Oscar Goldman.

Your nephew's alive.

He's lucky to be alive.

We've managed to stabilize his condition. What matters is...

It's all right.

It's all right.

Just take it easy.

It was like a steamroller came over me and backed up for the hell of it.

Must have been a fan.

Or my hurdles coach.

Where am I?

OSI headquarters.

OSI? I'm not the hospital?

You remember the hospital?

Pieces of it.

Oscar's face.

Talk about my legs.

What happened?

An explosion on the boat.

You were thrown clear.

Explosion?

The engines. I was working on the wiring.

Sabotage.

The explosion was meant to kill me.

They must have thought I was on the deck.

Why?

Somebody doesn't like my handling security for the games.

I can't feel my legs.

Jim.

They're paralyzed.

It's temporary paralysis, though.

That's it, isn't it, Steve? I mean, I'm gonna walk again.

You may walk again.

And if you walk, you'll run.

Faster than any man has ever run before, including myself.

Sorry, Steve, it's, uh... It's a bit much to take in all at once, you know.

It kind of comes over you in waves. You know, you've got pain and realization.

I worked so hard for those games.

I don't think I can deal with this right now.

I can't even think of a good punchline.

You just try to get some rest, okay? I won't be far.

My uncle, where is he?

He's fighting for you.

I realize that we're over budget this quarter because of Kate's procedures,

but I can swear that... Oscar, Oscar, you wouldn't even have to ask.

I'd do it if I could. You know that.

Fact is, I made some calls.

The authorization now has to come from General McAllister. And he turned me

down flat.

But he doesn't have the authority to do that. No, he does now.

Just got this in her office memo this morning. It's from our senator in the

Pentagon.

This is a very delicate situation.

One more incident could push the Russians right over the edge. Now, here

in Lebanon, we have a little bit of... Mr.

Goldman, I know that you've suffered a personal tragedy.

That's no excuse for walking in here. I need to talk to you.

Ladies and gentlemen, would you give us ten minutes, please?

Good luck, Oscar.

Oscar,

I sympathize with you, but this is not personal. And if you think it is, then

you are more emotionally unstable than I thought.

Isn't that the key phrase that's being thrown around?

Well, you know, gentlemen, you're right.

I am burned out.

I've served this department and my country for 30 years, and I've never

asked for anything until now. Nobody is questioning your loyalty, Oscar. They

aren't? Well, maybe they should.

Maybe I've been loyal to the wrong people all these years. Maybe I've got

caught up in a political machine, using up good people like Jamie Summers and

Steve Austin, sending them into the lion's pit time and time again. And for

what? So the reports of their death can be typed up in triplicate?

They would have died gloriously for their country a hundred times if it

hadn't been for their bionics and their ingenuity. Now, I'm giving my country a

new bionic operative, Kate Mason.

Try not to use her up, too.

General, for the first time, I am going to ask for something personal.

I want my nephew operated on.

I want you to call up Rudy Wells and authorize it. And if I don't? I'm not

giving you any choice.

Oscar, that's where you're wrong. We all have choices to make, don't we?

And some of them we don't like very much.

You weren't in Nam, were you?

I once had to order an airstrike against my own position because I was being

overrun by the VC and there wasn't any other way out.

I lived with that. Now you're going to have to live with this.

I have no more money.

or any further bionic development, much less the cost of an operation.

Don't give me that sense, memory, and statistics.

We're talking about a young man's life.

We're talking about his future.

My future.

What's your answer, General?

Oscar, I told you I would like to do it. I can't.

So, you want me out of the OSI.

You want the job?

You got it.

I resign.

For a smart guy, this isn't very smart. I don't want to talk about it.

Oscar, things have gone wrong for us before.

But you're the one that's always told me that's not when you walk away. That's

the time to stay and work things out. I have worked things out for the OSI for

the last time, Jamie.

Kind of hurts when you find out that you've been on the wrong side all these

years And they're not gonna let you go you know that you're much too valuable

too valuable or dangerous I Tried to hit him off the pass Oscar

That's alright Jim.

I Don't need this stuff Okay,

you're a wonderful girl

You really are.

You know, I'm not allowed to put my arms around you.

Much as I'd like to.

What, Uncle Oscar wouldn't like it? Is that it?

See, that's why I came to see you.

Oscar's resigned.

This is really important, Kate. Okay.

We don't know where Oscar stands now.

Well, in terms of what? World ideology?

I mean, come on, what do you think? Do you think he's gonna go over to the

other side? Okay, it doesn't matter what I think.

It's what the brass at the Pentagon thinks.

Right now, Oscar Goldman is a serious security risk.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

If he contacts me, I'll get in touch with you right away. Right.

No, you want me to give you a lift home? Come on.

No, no, I'm fine. I'm just gonna... I'm just gonna walk a little bit, clear my

hands.

Jeez, how glibly I just said that I'd like to walk.

Like it was something I did every day of my life.

We'll get used to it.

Bye.

Hi there.

Watch some flowers.

I'm just glad somebody remembered I'm lying in here.

I'm waiting for my uncle to come visit me, but I guess he's busy.

So, where should I put him?

Put him anywhere. It doesn't matter.

And if you don't mind, I'd really like to be left alone.

Come here, cleaner.

Kate.

Kate.

Look, I'm really sorry.

I really appreciate you taking the time to come and see me.

I do want to talk to you.

Have a seat.

Well, might be able to get a good routine out of this, huh?

Some snappy wheelchair patter.

Can I use you as a source?

You're the one about the athlete who did the 400 hurdles in 300 by wheeling under

them.

No, that's better. A little bit of that Jim Sardonic wit.

Just don't use it on yourself.

I know. I'm such a hot target right now.

God, this feels so strange.

For so long, it would have been me lying where you are and you sitting here

trying to give me some hope.

When did I do that?

Alan Devlin says that the doctors still aren't sure of the damage to your legs.

I mean, you're a great athlete.

There might be a chance you could walk without the use of bionics. With canes,

right?

There would have been a time that I would have settled for that.

Oh, but not now.

And you're okay now, right? You're going to be working for the OSI. You're going

to like that. The new challenges, new responsibilities.

Who's your officer in the field? That's Devlin, isn't it?

Well, you're going to like that even better.

What are you talking about? Come on, Kate.

Friends would have to be blind not to see the way you look at that guy. I used

to look at Sue Ann Hawkins that way when we were in high school.

Well, then maybe you should have set your sights just a little higher.

Like two rows further forward where that gawky little kid in the wheelchair was

cheating at math.

Maybe you're right.

I never could get my sights up above that letter sweater, though.

Sure, Jimmy.

Find the right remark.

That's what life is to you.

Jokes! Make them laugh, make Kate cry. Well, what happened to you is real. Try

and deal with it.

Well, if you want a friend, you know what my number is.

Kate.

Dr. Rudy Wells.

Funny stuff.

Way to go, Jimmy.

They swept her off her nuclear feet.

I thought Kate was with you.

Well, she was, but I decided to leave her at my house.

They were working on how to use her bionics a little better.

I got into Oscar's house.

And? He wrecked it.

I can't believe that.

It's so unlike him.

Is it? You know, we kind of lost touch with him over the last few years, except

for the fortress incident.

Oh, McAllister is going to have a field day with this. We've got a traitor

inside the OSI, and then Oscar resigns.

I assume the General's going to the Unity Games, is he? Oh, we're going to

be working very closely together.

Lucky you.

Because I'm going to be going on a lot of bionic runs. I don't have a class

starting for two more weeks.

I kind of thought we were going to have some of this time to... Time to what?

To, uh... Well, to spend together, to get to know each other a little better.

Well, have we done that?

Well, yes, but I thought maybe...

Didn't you want to ask me something?

Right.

Oh, right.

Yeah, well, with all the troubles we've been having and Oscar's disappearance.

And on the other hand, there's nothing like ceasing the moment.

Hey, Big Guy.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

The maitre d' said you'd still be here if I hustled.

Okay, you hustled. What is it?

Well, I found Oscar in the bar at the Watergate Hotel.

Now, if you people don't remember anything else tomorrow morning, I want

you to remember this.

Don't ever fight for your own country. Take it from someone who remembers the

good old days and found out that they weren't very good at all. In fact, they

were lousy.

This glass is empty.

Get me another one.

Wow.

Hello. How are you?

I'm fine.

What's your name?

Sally. Hi, Sally. Sally, may I tell you something?

Sure. Don't be offended.

Sally, you are very beautiful.

Thank you.

I don't think you should do that.

What? Put your hands on my shoulder.

Why? Because my boyfriend is very aggressive. Oh.

Then on the other hand, you're awfully cute.

Thank you very much.

Take your hands off the lady.

Oh, I like them here.

Move it or lose it.

I'll handle him, okay? Please.

Hey, Steve!

Hiya! Steve, how are you? Where's Jamie? Jamie? Hey, Jamie!

Hi, Jamie. I want you to meet my new friend. Hey, pal, you better be careful.

Now, old Steve's getting on in years, but... Speak for yourself, Oscar.

He's got secrets.

Secrets. Time to go, Oscar.

What do you mean, time to go? I don't want to go. There's nowhere to go,

Steve. There's nowhere to hide.

We can't run from anything.

Excuse us. I sent you, didn't I?

Hey, hey, listen. You know about these people? Let me tell you about them.

they're robots come on they are cyborgs would you believe that and they're

trying to kidnap me come on i need some help help are you sure you're his friend

oh absolutely listen don't don't hate anything he says he's very confused do i

look like a robot to you

What are you doing in here?

I'm a dangerous spy.

The wheelchair's just a cover. Actually, my legs are already bionic.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey.

Well, that struck a nerve, didn't it?

I'm a local resident.

Of the floor, that is.

Jim Goldman.

What are you doing in here?

Maybe you know my uncle.

The stuffed shirt and the great tux with a...

Smile that skiers fear.

You still haven't answered my question.

This is my uncle's office. I just came in here to get a release form so I can

get the hell out. No, this is not your uncle's office. This is my office.

And it's a natural mistake. His office is right next door.

I'm John McAllister.

My uncle's talked about you. Oh, in glowing terms, I'm sure. How are you

feeling? Like a recluse?

The doctors come and see me twice a day, and the nurses are in and out, but not

good old Uncle Oscar.

So... What do you mean, hasn't anybody told you?

Told me what?

Your uncle resigned from the OSI yesterday. He's missing. We're trying to

find him.

This is because of me, isn't it?

No, I think it's partly because of you. What's the other part?

There is a possibility that your uncle has defected to the other side.

Babe, I am potted. I am stewed. I am drunk. No kidding.

You know something?

The OSI is run by the book these days. Hey, come here. Come here. I want to

tell you something.

I threw the book away years ago.

You know why?

Because it's not about human beings.

It's about politics.

It's about numbers.

It's about production lines of cyborgs.

Volkoff.

Volkoff.

Volkoff. What?

That must mean something.

Oscar, how did you get yourself in a state like this?

How's our fearless leader?

How cold.

Good, and he won't insult anyone else tonight.

I had a feeling we were going to have to throw bodies around to get out of there.

That sounds like fun.

That's my line. How about a drink?

No, thanks.

How about you, Kate? I'm fine.

Oh,

I fooled around with the word vault call while you guys were out, and the

computer came up with some pretty nifty explanations.

Volkov, a Czech sprinter who was born in 1947.

A rather disgusting little roach that will inherit the Earth if we don't stop

nuclear madness.

And a particularly lethal brand of Russian vodka. Terrific. Like I said,

nifty, huh?

That's it?

That's it.

I, uh, fixed you one anyway. You look lucky.

Thank you.

You know, I really think something's gonna happen at these games. I'm telling

you, stealing the files didn't threaten the games themselves.

But it certainly gave it a higher profile. The entire world is watching.

You mean like Munich, killing athletes?

Killing someone.

If an official of the United States or the Soviet Union was to be assassinated.

Hey.

Kate, back off! Kate!

Kate, you okay?

I think we need somebody on the inside.

An operative who can mingle above suspicion with the athletes. Try to hear

something. Anything that might tell us what's being planned to happen at the

games. to tell us if Oscar's anywhere near them.

What do you mean? You think he's been taken there?

That's just an educated guess. Besides, I'm out of expert opinions.

Look, any organization that already has a bionic operative planted at OSI

doesn't need Oscar for his knowledge of cyborgs.

Has it occurred to you that you might be talking to that traitor?

Yes, it did.

Calculated risk.

All right.

Now, where are we going to find an operative who could qualify for an

Olympic trials at a moment's notice?

I'd say the girl we just manufactured. She can outrun, outthrow any Olympic

medalist in any country.

Well, that's too dangerous.

She has no combat training. She has no field experience.

General, she's bionic. That gives her the edge. It didn't help her last night,

did it? She'll learn.

You think she'll do it?

She will if my prettier half can be persuasive enough.

Bye. Bye.

I'm starting to feel like an antique.

Oh, come on. Jamie, running fast doesn't define the qualities of a good OSI

agent. This is true.

And you have a lot of other qualities.

You're smart, you're reflexive, you're strong.

And Steve and I are going to be right behind you. Yeah, like I was right

behind you guys last night.

It takes time to learn to use your bionics. And that guy was good. Whoever

he was, he was very good.

If this was anybody but you, I'd say you were sending me right into a trap.

If someone here at the OSI is a traitor, then they know I'm bionic.

And what did Devlin describe me as? A very valuable experiment.

Wouldn't an enemy just love to get their hands on this body?

Yes, they would.

And it is very risky.

And you'd go, wouldn't you? Doesn't matter what I do or what I wouldn't do.

You have to make this decision.

No, I've already decided.

Before I started running.

Hey, if I'm gonna start working for the OSI, I've got to start sometime, right?

But Julie, you'll be close.

Try and get rid of me. Well, please don't run, okay? Please.

Okay, we'll jog.

Good, good, good.

Steve!

Well, now you're supposed to say, hey, you look great, kid. Therapy going well?

How about that ivory tower they've got you in, huh?

Not too many stairs, I hope.

Nurses jabbing you with enough sedatives to make you sleep to an 8.9 on the

Richter scale.

Jimmy. I want to know what happened to my uncle.

He's been kidnapped, Jim.

Last night from Jamie's house.

And we got every OSI agent in the country trying to trace him.

But... But General McAllister isn't too sure that Oscar wants to be traced.

Yet he's defected.

For a man in an ivory tower, you've got to grasp on reality.

No leads at all? No official ones.

I'll take the unofficial.

I believe he's somewhere near the Unity Games.

I want to go.

I hear you're going to send Kate undercover.

Oh, you have been nosing around. Let me go with her. As her trainer, she's going

to need someone to help her make this pretense work, and I sure as hell know

enough about running and training to help her get through it, even if I can't

compete myself.

Look, you're not an OSI operative. Come on, neither is Kate until she proves

herself, right?

And Oscar is my uncle.

All right, you can go, if Kate says yes.

So, I hear you're gonna compete in the games.

I hear you want to be my trainer.

Isn't life full of most delightful little coincidences?

So, you just wheeled on down here to ask me this?

Well, beautiful night.

It's going to snow.

Time on my hands?

It's almost midnight.

Tough crowd.

Steve and Jamie brought me. They're around the corner.

Oh, come on, Kate.

I'd worry about you.

Wouldn't be able to sleep.

And I thought that we could look for my uncle.

Together.

How's that for stacking the old deck?

You are a rat!

Is that a yes?

I wouldn't have anybody else.

Welcome back to the land of the living.

Zarensky, where am I?

Do you expect me to divulge that information?

Well, that's what it says in the manual, and I'm trying to be a loyal employee.

To General McAllister?

I understand there is some bitterness between you. You understand a great deal

more than that, Zarensky, or I wouldn't be here.

Yes.

Yes, you have been speaking out rather publicly about your former organization

in particular and your country in general.

That doesn't mean that I want to crawl from one pit of vipers into another.

That is very good.

I must remember it. Yeah.

Well, try to remember this.

Stay very still, Arthur.

Charlie Esterman?

I've got an ulcer eating away at the wall of my stomach, and killing you will

kick it in immediately.

Well, Charlie.

Establishing your own personal detente, eh?

True national security does not depend on international cooperation, but

international competition.

Keeping an edge so that the balance doesn't tip too far one way or the

other.

What if I told you that's exactly what I believe?

You'd have to prove it to me. Of course.

I expected to be contacted, Charlie. I didn't expect to be kidnapped.

Where in the hell are we? Toronto. You can know that much.

So you've got something planned for the games, eh?

Something you can be a part of. If you can convince us that you're really tired

of Mom's apple pie and the American flag.

Step by step, step by step, we can get there.

Ladies and gentlemen, a special thank you for coming to this morning's warm

-ups for the World Unity Games.

Already Lance Mayweather and Ty Hunt-Barr are taking their first

attempts at the men's high jump. Coming up, we'll have the preliminary in the

women's 400 meter race.

Give us something more than anti-establishment rhetoric.

How about 18 missile sites from Palestine to the Gulf?

You want them? They're yours.

A list of OSI agents in third world countries.

There's a fat man in Nairobi that's got it taped underneath a piano in a place

that was once called Rick's Bar.

Anything else you guys would like to know?

Everything you've got, Oscar.

That's negotiable, Charlie, unless you're into keeping the peace.

What if peace did break out?

Think of all of us out of work. I don't mean just you and me, but the guys on

the other side, too.

We've got a good thing going here. We can't just let a whole way of life

disappear.

Would you make contact with our men? Of course. There are a lot of things,

Charlie. But sentimental isn't one of them.

You are always interested in the bottom line.

Power and money.

Well, they do have their charms, don't they?

Don't you think?

I'll tell you what I think.

I think...

As long as the Cold War goes on, it's going to generate tensions.

An insurrection here, a civil war there.

And when there's killing to be done, there'll always be, shall I say, a

market opportunity for a shop guy like you. How am I doing?

You're smarter than you look, Oscar. Oh, it's cultivated.

I believe that it's only a guess.

That you and your friends on the other side are in the business of selling

guns. And tanks and mortars and rockets.

Bionics? Are you willing to cut me in?

If you tell us what we need to know.

And we're not talking about bionics.

Look at how you were brought here.

Do you think we need bionic information from you when we've got a state-of-the

-art model right here on the inside?

What do you want of me, Charlie?

Patience is the dullest virtue.

But the most useful.

Here's to our future.

Alan, I've been here a week, and all I found out are the dating habits of the

women athletes.

Now, that doesn't sound like the Scarlet Pimpernel to you, does it?

Oh, you've got to give it time.

You know, I spent my first month at the agency on a stakeout in the men's room

at the Denver airport.

I must have washed my face and combed my hair at least 600 times.

And I kept on thinking, is this why I became a spy?

And albeit a clean spy.

There you go. Thank you.

Well, now I don't feel so bad about reading people's diaries.

Well, I don't know if I believe you but I do feel a lot better Thanks for being

a friend a what a friend friend That's like being told you're nice.

It's the kiss of death. Well, what would you rather be?

No, I know blonde handsome slightly mysterious

Romantic I thought

taking my hand was off limits

Well, I've decided to change the rules, if that's okay with you.

You know it is.

You're very beautiful.

Is it okay if I change the rules, too?

Kate... I don't know if this is the right time to say what I need to say to

you. No time like the present!

Never put up until tomorrow what you should say right now.

Right, Dev?

Right, Jim. How you doing?

Hey, great.

Couldn't be better.

I'm sorry. Am I interrupting something? I could wheel away or... No, no.

You look after our star athlete.

I've got to check security tonight.

See you for lunch tomorrow?

Yeah.

Good night.

Keep the faith.

God, you did that on purpose, didn't you?

Did what?

Will you stay out of my private life? Just stay out of my private life!

If you'll stay out of my dreams.

I just want you to be careful.

Okay, Kate.

Okay.

You lose.

New deal.

Not very lucky.

And you're a lousy poker player, Charlie.

Alan

Devlin.

McAllister was right.

No one is above suspicion.

Sadly true.

I see I've broken a few of your ribs, Oscar.

I really should kill you, but I can't afford to.

I wanted to ask you a small favor.

We need your voiceprint so we can decoy your OSI force.

No.

You're not going to be boring about this, are you, Oscar?

There is one other reason to keep you alive.

So you can see this work.

Because, Oscar...

As bionic architecture becomes more sophisticated, it also becomes easier to

disrupt.

We're going after Kate tonight.

You do remember her, don't you, Oscar?

Your latest masterpiece.

We'll just slip it underneath her skin, turn it on, and say goodnight to Katie.

Hi, guys.

I'd really love to stay and talk, but you know, I, uh... I left my iron on

back at the hotel room.

Ah! Oh, God!

Ow!

No!

Hold on.

There it is. Come on.

A cheap stunt to get your sympathy?

I... Will you listen to me, please?

Save your excuses, okay? You lied to me.

And you lied to Oscar. Now, that's unforgivable. Hey, I did not lie to

Oscar. Oh, what, so it's okay to lie to me?

When the bomb went off, I was on the stern. Now, if I'd been on the forward

deck, I'd have been history. Fish food.

You'd have missed me terribly. Yeah.

Instead, I was thrown clear.

So you weren't hurt at all? I had some cuts.

Oh, lacerations, really. And bruises. Bad bruises. One of them even turned

yellow. And Oscar knew you were faking. It was his idea.

He explained the whole thing to me in the ambulance on the way to OSI. So when

General McAllister refused the request that you receive this bionic treatment,

Oscar made a big stink about his resignation just to attract enemy

attention. See?

I knew you'd track with this. Yes, he wanted them to try to... He wanted them

to try to recruit him. He was a perfect target.

Well, don't you think the plan worked just a little too well?

Yeah.

Much too well.

Come on, you could have told me. I'm supposed to be a part of all of this, or

what? You don't trust me? No, it's not that. Look.

We had to be convincing.

Yeah. If you didn't believe the whole story, nobody else was going to.

Come on, I never wanted to lie to you. I didn't even think I was very good at it.

Well, you believe me, don't you?

Leave whatever you want. Wait.

I still haven't gotten around to thanking you for saving my life yet.

Oh, yeah, that old thing.

You know, some people might not have thought that meant too much.

Well, it does to me.

And I'm sorry for flying off the handle at you like that.

It's just that I've been under a lot of stress lately.

We all have.

Was that a bionic kiss?

Nope. 100% natural.

Thank you, Mother Nature.

So, what do we do now?

Well,

obviously, my cover's been blown.

Well, uh...

I'm a little new to this OSI spying routine, but I'd say continue playing

the role.

A couple of guys attack you on a moonlit path. I mean, you're very... You're very

beautiful.

Sorry.

Dangerous concept.

I think I'm gonna go tell Steve and Jamie what happened.

What about the kiss?

No, no, no, no.

Why don't we just keep that between us?

Who else knew I was going on that walk?

Jim and somebody close.

Looking good!

Thanks.

So, uh, you're in here often?

That is a great line.

Hey, come on. It's the 80s. You can't meet people when you're running. When

are you going to find the time?

Never thought of it that way.

So, we can take it from the top. You run here often?

Only when I'm lonely.

It's like I left the top when I'm already late.

Well, it rates a quarter mile.

What if I beat you?

Hey, I'm in pretty good shape.

Sure you want to go through with this?

Say the word, babe.

Babe, my favorite term in the near-miss.

Maybe I should take up racquetball.

Ladies and gentlemen, the people of Canada welcome you to Toronto and the

World Unity Games. Remember not to win any races. The greatest drag team

athletes are here to support our potential for global harmony in the

spirit of friendly competition.

Today, Canada's own Brendan Wild of Vancouver is out to break his own world

record. And Gina Brunelli, the Women's High World Champion, competes later this

afternoon.

Ladies 400-meter event, pitting Tanya Khrysova of the Soviet Union against

Kate Mason of the United States.

Runners to your marks.

Get set. Easy.

And they're off. It's a fair start. Tanya Khrysova of the Soviet Union is in

the lead, followed by Kate Mason of the United States and Ingrid Mueller of

Germany.

Anything?

Not a complete sweep. Nothing.

They checked the seals around the drainage grates. Steve, we've been over

this place ten times since dawn. We've taken every conceivable precaution.

We're stuck here waiting for the other shoe to fall.

Steve, Jamie.

Devlin wants us in the communications center. Now. All right, everyone into

positions. Condition yellow. Let's go.

In the lead, Tanya Fersova of the Soviet Union, the winner of the Women's 400

Meter Preliminary.

Fersova, with an unofficial time of 48.05 seconds.

Kate Mason of the United States, second. Now, now, now.

Hey,

I held up, okay? Even resisted the temptation to jump over and really blow

away. You're not here to line the old metal piece with gold medals, remember?

You see anything?

That's surprising.

According to Mickey, the summit premieres due here in half an hour.

Tim.

I think I know who the traitor is.

What have you got? It's a faint signal, OSI band six.

Code priority one. Emergency transmitter.

Their target is the Russian premier.

Somehow they have discovered that he will be attending the games.

He landed in Toronto ten minutes ago.

They are very well organized.

Give me a voice print of this transmission. I want to make sure it's

really good.

I have been able to discover some details of the plan. Now, here it is.

There will be an attack on the Soviet viewing area. They will make their move

during the women's 400-meter final.

They may be using an electronic explosive device.

As soon as the premier and his party arrive, they must be taken to a safe

place. It is imperative that the premier is protected at all costs, along with

the other ministers and their entourage. I repeat, protect the premier.

Do not worry about anyone else.

We're losing the signal, sir.

All right.

I want the Soviet box sealed.

And I want every agent we've got to cover that premier. We'll put him in our

security area. We'll move the rest of the Russian delegation to another VIP

box. We'll make it the one on the north side.

But we haven't secured that box, sir. I mean, it would have to be swept.

Just follow orders. Come on.

Steve, I picked up something on that transmission. It was a very low

frequency in Morse code.

Message from Oscar?

It sounded like it could be his location.

Thank you, Oscar.

It was very wisely done.

No attempt at heroics. That's always so boring.

Well, I guess I'm expendable now, Charlie.

Devlin wanted you out of the way as soon as you'd sent our little message from

Uncle Oscar.

Typical new school.

Doesn't have the sense to back himself up.

You mean keep you around in case something goes wrong to send another

message. Or even as a hostage.

The Soviet delegation is on their way to the stadium.

Good. Don't get too smug. You've only bought yourself a little time.

All units, the Russian premier has arrived.

Check. Station 6?

Jim Castillion, 2L.

Mr. Kelligen, please follow me. There's been a slight change in plans.

Ladies and gentlemen, now entering

the stadium, the premier of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

It won't be long now.

I have a feeling you're right, Charlie.

Oscar!

See what one little squeeze would have done.

You all right? Yeah, it's Alan Devlin. He's the traitor.

He just ordered double security on the premiere.

There'd be so many U.S.I. men around him, nobody could get to him. What if

he's not the target?

Volkov.

Maybe that code word is the name of the target.

Wait, isn't there a city in Russia called Volkov? In Stalin's time, there

was a place called Fletchergrad. That's right.

Fletchergrad. That's where Yuri Kalajin was born. How do you know that?

Well, I'm head of security. I did my homework.

So the foreign minister's the target.

I trust you'll be comfortable here.

I'm sorry for any inconvenience, but this is for your own security.

The teams are preparing for the men's 4x100m relay.

And the women's 100m dash is coming up. We've already got a World Unity Games

record in that event today from the preliminary.

Time now for the final.

So, the American Glamour Girl is not as good as she thought.

Eat my dust.

Just a minute. Just a minute.

Come on.

In lane six, Yasuko Saito of Japan, who earlier today won the women's 1,000

-meter event.

In past years, the winner of this women's 400-meter event has gone on to

win the Olympic championship at the same distance.

Runners at their marks.

Get set.

And they're off. And Kate Mason of the United States takes in Curly Lee.

It's still Kate Mason of the United States enjoying a comfortable lead over

Tanya Fersova of the Soviet Union.

Fersova had finished first in their preliminary heat.

Oh my god.

I see you're back for some more punishment.

To think that I actually cared about you.

I trusted you.

What can I say, Kate?

You were very stupid.

Very.

So how did you become bionic?

Ah, wouldn't you like to know?

Survival of the fittest!

Well, come on!

Welcome back, Oscar. But don't you ever... trick us like that again. To

Oscar. Welcome back.

To Oscar.

To Oscar.

Excuse me, Mr. Goldman.

I have something I have to read to you.

Congratulations to you and your OSI operatives for your excellent work in

ensuring the success of the World Unity Games.

The Soviet Premier has asked me to convey his personal gratitude and

admiration. For you and your team.

And to sign the present.

I think you should know that tomorrow morning I will be forwarding my

report on the reorganization of OSI.

And? And I will advise that your department needs no reorganization as

long as you are left in command.

Congratulations.

Thank you, General.

You're welcome.

Good night.

Well, Oscar, congratulations.

Oh, thank you, Steve. I'm sure you'll have a busy schedule.

Huh?

Oh, yes, yes.

Good luck. You too, pal.

Uh, don't you two have something to do?

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Ow! Oh, Dad, the thing. We gotta go.

Bye. Bye, Jamie.

Bye, Jim.

Good luck, big guy.

Bye.

Oscar,

come here. Come here. Look at this. What? Look.

I did have something I wanted to say to you.

You know, Jamie, we've known each other for a long, long, long time.

And we've been through a lot together.

Steve. Now, Jamie, just... Let me finish. Now, when

two people... Why don't we get married?

Please hear me out, Jamie.

What?

I said, wouldn't you like to get married?

Okay,

bye, Kate.

Well, best man won.

I guess.

So, I think this is gonna be a lot of fun.

What?

Well, having a bionic girlfriend?

Oh, you'd think so.
