memo from Oscar golden, Director of Operations Office of Scientific Information to John Pricer,

chief of staff on March 30, at Oh 300 hours

power of military soldiers of the organization known as fortress

attack the Debono munitions depot, stealing arms and explosives,

killing six guards and two civilians and injuring 19 others

this is the ninth in a series of fortress relationships planned and engineered

I am convinced by one Lyle spinning

one voice let's move it

will be out here in five minutes

they escaped in a stolen samurai

with a dozen boxes of automatic weapons

sixteens a San Diego

this reminds me of the cool we stayed down in Angola

remember 50,000 a piece

that all the arms we could carry out of there

Just what the hell are we fighting this time Santiago

a bleeding liberals would give away what made this country great.

Now this is our new battlefield right here.

Right here at home

there was only one man who understand standings mine.

I will try to persuade him to come out of retirement.

That man is Steve Austin.

You alright,

yes, thank you. You're so strong.

I'll bet you were some defensive back in college.

That's a little too shy to make the team.

I always had my head in the clouds

to think I real daddy and all by myself.

I mean, you were there to help me secure the line.

But imagine, I just don't know my own strength.

Awesome.

Totally. Totally fine.

ice formation,

and wish you were back to the controls. When was Colonel Austin?

Sometimes only in a suicidal moment?

Colonel, Jerry Duke and I haven't even talked to you.

We take a few minutes of your time alone.

Very important. But you sir.

So what is the Air Force? Colonel Austin?

Tell them Dude,

we've always told you mean a lot to the student fliers

if you came and talked to him.

I mean, you've been a hero in their eyes and everything.

Yeah, well, heroes are frightened man

who make bad decisions that good moments.

But that's not what you wanted to talk to me about. No, it's about Michael.

He graduates this Thursday and then he's out of our control.

He's a hell of a pilot. A little eager.

Maybe. We thought we could deal with his attitude, and we can't.

Then he starts intensive training. F 16

Frankly, Colonel, I don't think he's ready.

I mean, technically yes. Emotionally.

I'm worried about.

It's the Jewish mother in me.

Now we know you stayed away from the base for your own reasons, Colonel,

and it's none of our business. But he is your son.

We need you to talk to him.

I'll click on it. Thank you

Yeah, you're right.

You ever think of stopping by just to say hello? Steve.

This is serious. Yeah, well, I don't want to hear it.

Don't try to bully me or blackmail me or

wave the flag in front of my face.

I retired from the agency for a reason. I don't think

I ever heard what that was.

Being a spy, bro. So It was bad for my health.

People kept shooting at me, Steve.

It's fortress.

They've regrouped mercenaries freedom fighters,

but it's our freedom that's being threatened.

Led by a man called name, Santiago.

Real name unknown.

We think he's a protege of stabbings.

He's still in prison. Al Capone was in prison for 22 months

and he held his organization together.

There's been a series of sabotage raids against munition factories,

strategic sites throughout the southwest.

We don't know what they're doing.

They're back in business. All right.

Yeah, well, I'm out of the business.

I got no context. No backups, no lifelines. I wouldn't be any good.

Do you know the way standings mind works?

If this wasn't critical? I wouldn't be.

Yes, you wouldn't. You just wouldn't be sugarcoating it like that.

I put every cent I have into that boat.

It's a home. It's a haven and it's an escape.

I like fishing. I like tranquility.

I like not getting calls to go and

save the world from itself.

I can see why running a charter boat does have its simple pleasures.

Some are made in a particular summer you had in mind

when you named her

I guess I just couldn't forget it no matter how hard I tried

how hard it is to try not very hard. I wish

Jamie Oh, she's just fine.

Still working for a rehabilitation center downtown.

Teenagers from broken homes crash victims schizophrenia

she always did have a desire to help other people.

One of the things you both shared isn't that true?

So a couple cups of coffee you ironic words mutual respect.

That's what we share. More on come on.

There was more to that relationship than that.

Maybe once what if she remembered

the way you felt before that skydiving accident?

Well guess what? She didn't

find yourself another operative against fortress Oscar.

I've let you down too many times

name one

Chris Williams who the best you wanted my help

then I couldn't give it to you you

must have had your reasons

yeah oh worked out all right, didn't it

you got Williams out

you did get Williams out what happened?

One bullet from a high powered rifle he was in a closed cell

I had no right to ask you to go in there

could have been fortress that did it.

Steve you could set that right. Well, you never let go

do you ask her and hope it

our country gets in your blood.

You don't think that kind of patriotism doesn't run through my veins

did not give us enough

two legs an arm and and I had the best we ever had

legs. But the answer is still no.

Okay. I see your side.

I just wish I could be honest but be careful.

Remember, you're the man who put standing away 10 years ago.

Fortress may go after you alone. I'm ancient history

not too ancient, I hope

All right

thank you boys. Hey, Michael. What?

See at the pub tonight?

Gee, I don't know. Yeah,

I'll see you there.

Steve.

General

good looking young fella wasn't?

Yeah, it looks like his mother.

Yes. We never talked about that.

How did Karen die?

Pneumonia? little town called placid villa.

Population about 104.

With snow and the night I got there Christmas Eve

old town turned out say oh, sorry.

They were even though she'd only stayed in the hotel one night.

It was that kind of town. How old was boy?

He was six then.

A senator live with Karen Sister Mary 14, four.

He took any interest in his father.

You know Steve Austin astronaut, he wrote.

So you got in touch with him. And that was that?

No, he we never met.

wrote a couple of letters. Then came the in three, five crash.

After that, you know, I was pretty busy.

Yeah, Oscar Goldman likes his agents to keep a low profile.

You're not supposed to know about Oscar golden. Well,

I wasn't supposed to know about the stealth missile

or my 52nd surprise birthday party either.

Your son's a fine officer, Steve.

He takes too many chances.

Yeah, I know. I had Jerry Dreyfus, Duke and Jim on my turbo yesterday.

Not really to fish just to corral me.

Well, that was my idea. You know, the guys really care for your son.

What do you think I don't?

Well, maybe you should note that.

All right. There's a restaurant in the marina called the schooner

tonight. 830.

All right. I'll make sure that second lieutenant Austin gets the message.

Thanks, General.

So what are we doing now? San Diego.

Follow him.

So Colonel Austin didn't get together with his son.

Is that right, General? Oh, they are going to have dinner.

schooner restaurant tonight. 830.

Good.

Thank you, General.

These all need your signature.

Thank you Trish.

Martin, what are you doing for dinner tonight?

Well, thank you very much, sir. But

actually, I was going into my bridge class.

There's a radiant, elegant, extremely beautiful woman.

I'd like you to entertain

you've come to the right man, sir.

Any more trouble with fortress Aashka

forget about fortress tonight.

All you have to worry about is being a father. Look,

I abandoned his mother and deserted him.

Why? Would you want to talk to a father who did that?

Well, I'm sure he cares about you.

I mean, you put him through school.

You call your sister in law every night.

Find out how he was just guessing.

You do remember telling me that he lived with your sister in law in Seattle?

When did I tell you that in France?

Don't you remember that night?

We were surrounded and that Chateau

and stunning was throwing grenades at us.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Did we get out of that one?

I don't know. How do we ever get out of any of those things? You love pretty good.

Thanks.

Sure. Look, all right.

It's not too sophisticated. To folksy.

So that's pretty yourself Powell and positive thinking. Yeah.

You know, I know he hates me.

I'll be surprised if he shows up at all.

What do you guys think?

It's too stiff. It's too military, right?

I shouldn't wear the uniform.

You look sharp. Why do you think you have skin and bones

and I'll feed you in the military.

Let your new father buy a steak Ed

Right go get them hotshot

so if the downward spiral is arrested source

and you don't forget to compound the interest

and then the growth factor will come soon as you do the readjustment to the budget

Well, now obviously the graph is going to go off the chart,

but when I gave those figures to Hastings the board meeting

and Laguna can imagine the excitement.

Must have been tremendous.

I tell you secret

never been on a blind day before of you.

And thank your friends thought we might not be compatible.

Good evening. Do you have a reservation for Steve Austin for two?

I'd like a booth somewhere quiet.

Oh, I understand. Young lady hasn't arrived yet, sir.

Oh, no. Can I show you to your table Mr. Austin?

Enjoy your meal, sir.

Thank you.

I really have to cut such a wonderful evening short,

but I'm not really feeling very well. And I need to know

the odds against bronchitis or the flu at this time.

I'd like to I'd really like to just get some air. What could we do that?

Yeah, well, no problem.

I think I'll get the check. Jamie?

Oh, my goodness.

Hi. How are you?

Steve I really wish I could stay and talk to you,

but I can't right now. Sorry.

I know. It's been a long time. Yes.

It has been a long time.

My date is waiting for me in the parking lot.

I better get to and before I cons the park and get out of his TIFF.

Jamie, you know, I really thought I knew

what I was going to say to you when I saw you again.

You're here and I'm here.

And I don't why?

Wait a minute. Hey, Jamie, give me five minutes.

There's somebody I want you to meet. blonde or brunette. Come on,

it's not what you think.

Doesn't matter what I think was never true.

Steve, I just can't deal with you right now.

You're not you retreated inside yourself.

No contacts, no friends. And when somebody needed you.

You didn't care who you're talking to. It's fine.

Okay, just stay there. Obviously you don't need anyone but yourself.

Jamie, please let me know.

Let go of what you made me do

at least her bionic arm still works

Don't worry about the tip.

Call me about the window please. Is there a back way out of here?

Yes. Out the back so dad,

nice exit.

Here. Here's the door

glad you can make it.

Sure.

I mean, you look good.

How are you? Things? I mean,

I helped you me. Okay.

Must have been a pretty strong guy to throw you through a window.

It was a girl

I like to meet her someday. Well,

I don't feel good right now but I'll let you know.

When there was an accident, but the emotions weren't.

Haven't seen it a long time. To someone special.

Very special. How's he married?

That 50 sassy and reads too much Judith grant.

You know, son, I didn't want to put you with her.

But at the time it was the only thing I could look

that I already rehearsed the same for you.

Sounded good. So let's get past that.

Okay.

Construct instructors they say you're a hell of a pilot.

It's graduation. Thursday.

I consider it an honor if you could be there

gonna

do have a charter that day. Yeah

sure.

No sweat.

Life goes on, right?

I mean, we meet and shake hands and you tell me to take it easy.

Don't be the same reckless kid you were in your day.

And I tell you boy, it's been swell to meet a real American hero

who just happens to be my father.

What can be that? No promises no commitments.

Just real friendly. And say what?

Give me a high five I'll check the instruments of takeoff.

What do you want me to say?

And I'm sorry for all the wasted years lamb

I can't find the words they're hard

What is it you want the instant father

just a friend I can talk to

a guy can go fishing with

a pro I can talk flying with

Look, I don't know what happened to you in the years between the crash and the charter boat

or whatever it was I hope you can come to terms with it.

Because then maybe you can find some time for a son

it should be great to see my graduation that the charter gets back in time

nice going Steve. To people you care most about in the world

one throws you through a window and the other

you can't even talk to me

good morning Mr. Austin.

Why does stunning want this guy so badly?

He's bionic. A fighting machine we can duplicate

you're gonna lose it.

No, we're not

he took the side X. He's heading for the boot show.

Stopping remember he's no good to his dead.

Yeah, don't sweat it. I'll just stop this car

don't try and will never make it

Yes, I'd like to see Oscar golden.

Do you have an appointment?

Oh, I'm sorry, sir. Without an appointment,

it'd be absolutely impossible to just charge the boss.

Oh, kind of Austin. Yes. Yes, of course.

You don't need an appointment.

You could just rip the doors right off the hinges.

I mean, Colonel Austin is here to see Mr. Goldman.

Someone will be right with you

so you're the $6 million man.

That's probably 24 by now.

I wonder what parts of bionic

gym because doing? two L's.

Also young.

Yes, we are not easily impressed.

Do something bionic.

Would you have mind?

Run to the end of the room and back with a flick of an eyelash.

Leave the computer bank with a single bounce.

Maybe just bend an iron bar.

Look, I don't do circus tricks. Go on.

Give the New Kids on the Block country and

they need something to relieve the boredom for just doing a good enough job.

Oh, that's right. You're the expert on this mercenary

Grew by the man who put while standing away 10 years ago.

What are you coming to our rescue Colonel?

I'll try to keep you included.

Hi Trish. I'm hand delivering our new celebrity.

You got that updated file for me?

Are there no chairs in your cage Mr. Costigan must contact the zoo

is Castilian with two L's

she loves me really just playing hard to get it.

So have you thought about that drink tonight?

thought of nothing else. I'm Trisha Sullivan.

Mr. Goldman's assistant. He wanted you to go right in.

Thank you

got an answer about tonight.

Of course.

That's with two L's

stave, you know, John Fraser, our Chief of Staff, Colonel Austin.

How are you?

I'm a little confused. Somehow I got in the same firing line as Oscar.

Now what could fortress want with me?

Well, I got a lot of sensitive information on that hit.

Keep me informed Austin.

They could have killed me. They wanted to take me alive. Not why

I warned you about that. Steve.

Talked to Stenning or next time they may kill you.

Look, this doesn't mean I'm coming back to OSI.

Of course not. Well, don't look at me with those big brown eyes.

I know what's going on that devilish mind of yours once he's back in the fold.

Once he feels the adrenaline flowing through those bionic vein,

the thought never entered my head.

Never kind of con man. Always look over your shoulder.

That's the first rule of surveillance and that's with two L's

are Yes. You met Mr. Castilian, our new OSI agent.

That is be careful. It's still coming in one day

and found his feet up on your desk.

I am standing by Jamie last night.

Oh

yeah, you just wouldn't had anything to do with that

now with me?

Jamie just happened to be in that restaurant at the right time.

Ask her Give me a break.

When she looked at me there was more than last time between us.

She had anger in her eyes. confusion, frustration.

She said things to me. I don't even understand.

But I'll tell you one thing I'm gonna find out.

Steve I know you're still on that with Jamie.

Still waiting for it to come back to the old Jamie.

Jamie before the skydiving accident.

But how can I say this?

You've got to learn to deal with a new Jamie.

I mean she's the same person the same emotions

the same affection for you

but it's good advice dad, but

it's a little too late. Jamie was in an accident Steve

an explosion coming out of her concussion

she remembered everything

Why do you hide this for me?

I was afraid of my brain back your memories

and your pain does it

now not anymore

I really appreciate everything

that you have done for me Steve

and I appreciate what we must have shared

but I don't feel those feelings now.

I can't remember what it was like

to be in love with you

understand Steve she now remembers

lot prettier and easier to grab

32nd mile.

I'm gonna tell the Olympic Committee Oscar

Hi, babe.

Oh, it's first time I've run full out in a long time.

Ever since I moved here, I've been having a hard time

finding some place to to run it was occluded enough.

But today I had to run it off anyway.

Running off watch emotions,

excess emotions.

Maybe you've been putting too much time on our clinic.

Those emotions I can handle it's the new ones

I'm having trouble dealing with in the next time you decide to play matchmaker.

Would you send me somebody a little more convincing?

I'm afraid that Martin as a computer programmer just doesn't get it.

Oh, I had to add up the check.

Well, it seemed like a pretty good idea at the time.

Me running into Steve.

Jamie, you're blaming yourself, not Steve.

For what went wrong in Budapest.

Steve refused to return to the OSI for the same reasons

you gave me that day in your apartment. Remember, when the National Security Board came to pick you up?

Or what is wrong with wanting to have a normal life to be a normal human being?

I've left you alone.

Don't be so defensive. Sorry.

apologize for trying to get you and Steve together.

I know it Chris Williams. Definitely.

I wanted to tell Steve everything,

but I was under orders not to don't blame Steve

he's carrying enough guilt for both of you

if you want to blame somebody try me.

I thought a lot about Steve when I was in the hospital

when the concussion was wearing off,

it was it was like I had walked into a room that was crowded with memories.

But they were all just acquaintances.

I mean, I knew them but they were only familiar

and then somebody walked in and opened the blinds

and there was light and then I could see all the faces

and I can remember everything

here knew I was going to remember about me and Steve

didn't do

Yeah. What are you gonna do about it?

Try not to throw him through another window.

I don't know.

I really don't know.

I want you to stay away from him.

Last night you're playing Cupid today you're sending me to my room

because of what's going on Jamie Listen to me fortress had regrouped.

They're back in business. No, no, no let me finish thereafter.

The secret of bionics they tried to pick up steam this morning

that's why you have to stay away from it

they just haven't been able to respond to me

now that I can't I can't be careful

you're no stranger to fortress either

standing one trade off

is not in your nature

should I call a guard?

No no no no this is just a little chat between you and me

to adversaries getting together

All right, then get on with it.

I want to know about fortress nothing

Oh well that was easy. That was money and power

but the new one and it's a return to the old values

of America for Americans.

You see this country's die of cancer spreading faster than any communist takeover?

I'm going to attack the disease at the source that's all

that sounds good to me.

God professional soldiers to impose this righteous discipline

the takeover is already happening all around you

in the corridors of so called Power

here's a spline against the head and if forces required

your supplier Well, here's the message.

You hurt anyone close to me.

And I'll come for used any personally

good we didn't have that little chat and steamer.

A to see those bionic limbs resting upon yeah

that's good, Nick. Let's let's try some word association.

Love American style.

Hope Bob.

Old ski knows here.

Nothing to fear in the Twilight Zone.

All right, Nick. I'm not buying this television world.

You don't live there.

You're just visiting so give me a break.

Peace.

War, hate drank

Strength bionic?

Where did you hear that word?

It wasn't on the television. So then we're around

around where

Okay, same time tomorrow

beam me up Scotty. Turk out.

Sounds good. Take me with you

Jamie Be careful out there

I think I saw this scene in a Edgar Allan Poe movie once.

Man side is relaxing at home.

Just

how are you? Alright, let's see

a little older, a little wiser.

And I hope by ironically sound

lake when it rains.

How come the aging process hasn't caught up with you?

You've been using some of these bionic parts,

no one will ever know.

Go ahead, take a look at what are we got?

There are three times as many components as in the legs we fitted you with.

Now we stitch a microcomputer right into the chest.

And that pumps information around the electronic system.

Very impressive.

Take a look at this

your left eye miracle

the miracle of modern science.

But what if it had an added factor?

A laser beam very, very concentrated.

Capable of burning through an inch of steel.

I'm gonna hand it you got locked out of the house.

Now coming take a look at this.

After Max I went back to the drawing board

and I came up with a lot of breakthroughs since your day

you know fortress could have a field day if they raided this room

fortress they disbanded years ago.

Anyway, security is your department isn't it?

That righty back and forth

on a temporary basis.

It's terrific. It's great to see as the lone Splinter leave

that I've been experimenting with real bone laced into the latex fabric of the skin.

Gives it a certain strength certain texture.

Anyway. You don't need to worry about me, Steve.

everybody's forgotten.

Carol. Hi, what's going on now?

Come on. I tried to call you.

How was your dinner day last night?

Great. It took him down desert to realize I was blind.

I'm so bad. I asked him how I like going out on a real blind date.

Shame on you.

How was yours?

Well, it was eventful. Are you taking the kids today?

On a picnic? Oh, great. They're getting them together now. Okay.

All right. See you later. All right.

Hey, Carol.

The kids have been waiting for you.

She's here kids

get into the car. Miss summers.

Oh, what a lovely invitation.

Fred, it was late for work

no bionic tricks, my friend over there

and start firing at those blind children with the name what do you want?

Well, if I told you it was your body,

you might get the wrong idea.

But that's exactly what we want.

So get in now

No one thought I'd take it easy.

A long time since I've been kidnapped.

It really took me on Mr. Toes wild ride this morning.

Definitely an E ticket at Disneyland

fortress. It looked like a bunch of tired mercenaries that ran out of countries to fight in.

At least you have lost your sense of humor.

I certainly hope you capture is the other night when you went flying through that window.

Hey, sorry, gave me a spectacular entrance.

I feel right at the feet of my 23 year old son.

I wanted to tell you about it. But I guess I just never found the right moment.

I married young right out of college before going into the Air Force.

We tried to make it work. She was very fragile emotionally

and I guess I was never very good at handling breakable things.

What happened?

We divorced right away.

I only found out later that she'd had my son.

I never got to know him.

Then his mother when PCs air force term for permanent change of station.

Pneumonia was all before I could even get there.

But I'd been late for her our whole relationship.

He grew up the last 17 years with my sister in law in Seattle.

What's he doing?

stationed here at math and Air Force Base.

Takes his final solo flight tomorrow.

Like father like son? Does he know you?

Last night wasn't my nightmare getting acquainted?

Maybe tonight I'll do better if I can find the right words.

Words aren't that hard to find?

Look inside yourself say what's in your heart.

Even if it is made of Teflon.

You know, I never got in touch with you after I left OSI.

That isn't what I was upset about.

Because I didn't know who I was or what I wanted.

Why didn't you say something to me? Why didn't you talk to me?

You know, I'm the only person in the world that could understand what you were going through.

I was going through exactly the same thing.

Sorry, go ahead.

So I invested in a charter boat with some friends which I run

and then I I guess I shut everybody else out.

Like you said everybody

but but you Jamie and I

I put you in a place where

I swear

where I could handle you place in the back of my mind

where I kept kept the candle burning so that you're me

When we put them all together

I guess I let it burn a lot longer than I should have

but they will be so angry about this night.

Oh, you just stirred up some emotions and I'd buried

it was about Chris Williams.

I was in Budapest with him.

It was the first mission that I had accepted from the OSI in years

and see we got in some trouble and we were separated.

There was a big explosion at the American Embassy.

And I was hurt. I was glad to get me shipped out of there.

And I guess I felt like I'd abandoned him.

And then And then so did I.

I heard Chris was killed.

I felt so guilty.

And I couldn't deal with my emotions. So I put some of it on to you.

Oscar is the one that helped me realize how unfair that was.

I mean, what I do for a living, I should know better.

Well, I should have gone in there.

I am trying to apologize.

Please let me

Steve, I loved Chris. And I know that's hard for you to hear.

Because when I was in the hospital, when I woke up,

I started remembering our schedule

you know that the funny thing was that even then,

there was something I couldn't put my finger on it.

There was something that just kept me from marrying Chris.

And I guess now I know what that was.

I mean,

somebody still cared about.

I guess I cared about it on your time.

I mean, of course, I knew I would need time

to get to know me again.

Yes, I mean, no.

I mean, I'm trying to I'm trying to say something that is long overdue.

Okay. Let me say

can't say it now.

Maybe I could say that.

I'll say see you around.

And you say stay out of trouble.

And we'll just try to stay in touch from now on

okay

my son does his last solo flight tomorrow.

Four o'clock be great. If you could be there.

To do that one on your own, don't you?

Would you mind leaving to the door or windows closed

today? That was them.

A Megan you change your mind about tomorrow night.

No way, flyboy.

You should be a little friendlier to me.

I was friendly.

Leave me alone.

What do you say we'd grab a beer before Jerry gets here.

All right.

What do you hear? What do you see?

Drinks on the graduating class tradition at math.

Was the celebrity buying drinks.

Maybe four nights to a mill introduces to daddy.

here that's where you got the graduation.

You were alive. Brubaker runs you take a walk along.

He were just interested.

Here's a hotshot pilot with a famous father

and he keeps it a big secret coming to ever visit you Austin.

cannot answer that, huh? I hear he lost it in that jet crash

couldn't get back into a fight or no guns. Hey, that's not true.

Where is he? sitting in a rocking chair on the porch somewhere?

creaking back and forth a faded memory.

That chance he flew with F 104 at 1.75

I think you could hack that Brubaker?

That's right. You can't flip over a t 38 Without a note from your mother.

Thank you could

I don't have to show off in an aeroplane or anywhere else can be graduating tomorrow.

But you blew it big fella because you haven't got enough discipline

to tie your own shoelaces.

Maybe I got better things to do with my mornings.

Isn't that right? Darn it.

Come on, honey. Don't pull away.

You weren't so standoffish last week.

Dr. Joyce report to X ray Hello

No, they say that your whole life passes before you

in that last split second before death.

You know what I saw when he came into that landing strip.

I saw his whole life I think before him

joys, sorrows. triumphs and failures are gone

and at one moment stood

there and watched it was nothing you could do about it.

It was an accident. Like just like you

know like mine is history repeating itself.

Except in his case, there's no reprieve.

There's no no Rudy Welles with his scholastic disk.

Italian bone replacement, cybernetic veins.

If he has a chance, don't take that away from him.

And Dr. Shepherd,

your son is alive. I can't tell you why,

except he has a will to live

that just won't quit.

Just give it to me straight.

Okay. We've had to amputate his right arm.

Both his legs are crushed.

His spine has snapped.

Even if we could repair the damage to his legs he never walk again.

A piece of metal lodged in his head and

it severed the optic nerves to his right eye.

Any damage to the brain?

No. brain scan is normal.

Its heart is very strong.

Respiratory System fair. Outside of that.

Broken ribs, cuts, lacerations, minor injuries that will heal with time

but for the rest.

I'm afraid there's not much more we can do.

No. No, there's something I can do.

Dr. Davis, fifth floor fat

boy really doesn't stand a chance.

Oh, yes, he does. Doctor.

I don't want to hear it. Asker I've played this thing with you before over Jamie.

I don't want to know about the millions of dollars with a risk of the Senate committees

that the entire bionic project has been mothballed due to lack of funds or wisdom.

I'm here to make you a deal. I'm listening.

You let really well as Alfredo my son.

I'll bring you stunning and fortress on a silver platter.

No deal. Oscar Rudy is on his way to the hospital.

He's getting his team together

he's ready to operate on your boy tonight with your permission

Oscar Hi John Praiser okay

did we owe you a lot Powell?

Steve wouldn't want you to think

he is the only $6 million man around.

It's gonna be all right.

Physically, he's gonna be superb.

I implanted some metallic microchips.

They're new, no bigger than a fingernail and with legs.

And I interface them with a computer and it's chest.

And if it goes right, he'll run incredibly fast.

And if it malfunctions

his legs will tear apart.

I gave him a new right arm. I replaced him ribs was battalion substitutes

like in your body or reinforced his spine with roseum.

As far as his right is concerned.

We inserted the laser the nerve networks from the brain

they were intact, so I just reprogram.

That part was easy. reprogramming him

that won't be good, be happy to be alive.

Sure. Like you were like Jamie

was with you remember, I sat in your hospital room

and I made you listen to all the junk about synovial fluid

and bionic capillaries and biochemical processes.

You remember what you said to me?

You said Go to hell.

Can I talk to them in a little while

My son

would you let them do this

would you want your son made over and your own image?

Michael All I heard him talking in the recovery room.

The nurses from OSI

so excited to break through it

what medicine or mechanics

bionic saves my life.

It was the only way to save yours

I don't want to live like this

like some freak

like me

I couldn't stop thinking about it

that leap you made when Carl was coming as she started telling me about bionics

and I thought it would be so cool to be like that

and now

look I felt the same way you do

but I came to terms with it.

I came to understand that it made me better stronger inside

Why don't you go play hero for somebody else

because whatever happens now you lost your son in that crash

morning did you expect him to react any other way?

Give him some time let him see what is

nobody can do for him just hard

I've lost and I believe that he's going to my clinic for rehabilitation

I've already arranged it so just give me some time with him

where will you be?

I made a promise to ask.

Standing when the hell do we move?

Well I get word from Washington that certain fortress agents are in place

when key government officials have been kidnapped

and certain industrialists have been killed

we have Michael Austin

Hi I'm Jamie summers, me therapist.

I'm also an old friend of your father's

you just lost five points.

So did you know your physical therapy begins this afternoon.

Your emotional therapy begins right now

what happens though, or you climb inside my head

find out what cells have been burned out the real ones

of course I understand the bionic ones will last for years.

Unless you stand too close to a microwave

you do know that that word and your skills are not to be used outside these walls

and there are even areas in here that you're restricted to

All I know is that I'm the broken puppet

getting ready for the strings to be pulled

like why don't you tell me what you're feeling just can you tell me what's going on inside of you?

You wouldn't understand

I've been bionic

Jamie says streaming to speak

your way

on down, down, down

down

She gets out of town no way

right I think I found the answer

if we connect this circuit up with this circuit here

got it made

now what do you think

one sound afterwards

you will die

it doesn't matter you should not have disintegrated the lock.

I don't like being cooped up in another Steve Austin trade

this is really getting spooky. Michael

What, what what is what is the most?

What is your most favorite thing in the world to do?

fly jets? Yeah, I mean, just just for yourself. ride motorcycles.

Okay, that's what I want you to do.

In your mind. That's the place I want you to go.

Understand.

But to tell your story.

It was a man who was imprisoned in a German prisoner of war camp.

Okay, he was he was thrown into solitary confinement.

He was in darkness, total darkness for two years.

So he decided to construct a clock.

In his mind, he did this. He constructed a very intricate mechanism.

So what was he a clock maker? No. I mean,

he never he'd never even taken the back off of a watch.

And when he was finally released, I mean,

he built that he built that clock filled out cardboard,

and you can still see it. I mean, today it's in the museum,

but the Wright Patterson Air Force Base, and his captors could never, ever touch that clock.

And that's what I want you to do. Michael,

I want you to find a place in your mind where you feel safe.

And I want you to do something that makes you feel really good.

And then I want you to think about being bionic

and about your new life and what this means.

Because right now you're fighting it and you're scared.

Go someplace in your mind where you can feel safe

tell me about you and my father.

We're friends. I told you that.

Nothing more than that. No.

You said you were someone very special person

that when we met after you?

Yes, the exit.

I do remember the exit.

He said that today?

He's somebody very special to me too.

Especially. So clearly.

I don't want to discuss it.

Oh, you're in love with him?

Why would you say something like that?

Something in the way that he won't talk about you.

Are you him?

Well, that part you got right. We are not here to discuss my relationship with your father.

Okay. The prisoner in Germany had this cardboard clock

I have my motorcycle. What do you do

when you want to shut out the world knock.

Matter of fact, I will race you to the end of the park.

I'm not sure if I can cruise subsonic anymore. Give you a head start

to Thanks. You're a bow Okay I'm beginning to feel like an obsolete model. Why don't you tell me?

Because it's a secret.

And it was a long time ago.

I was in a skydiving accident and your father

made the same life and death decision for me.

That's the closeness you feel. That's

That's what binds us together.

Yeah, it's much more than that.

It's a guess. So, what are you gonna do about it?

It's none of your business.

Ha, you don't know do you

leave me alone you

made a spectroscopic test of the soil sample of found inside the car

comes mainly from this area of the country.

So almost 1000 square miles. No.

I also found a piece of glass and one of the tires not ordinary glass.

very distinctive. I'm trying to track it down.

What is it Trish?

Rudy Wells is disappeared.

All of his equipment is gone

Michael, I hope I'm not disturbing you.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Oh, hi. It's just on my way.

Yeah, what's up

nice demonstration.

One more move like that. And I cashed in our insurance policy.

Let's go

take them to study so

your Steve Austin son

has the microchip off the old block

sorry about the grease.

I was working on my motorcycle when the friendly boys grabbed me.

Is it okay if I leave it outside?

What's he talking about?

Maybe his mind needs a little bionic readjustment.

So let me see if I got this straight fortress and Lyle standing.

You want me to demonstrate every nuance of my newfound skills

if I refuse it kill me.

Gotcha do no need for that kind of violence.

The mind is where the real battles are fought.

That's where we'll meet you and I go for it.

Take them out of here.

Oh, wait a minute.

If you're thinking of using your newfound skills to escape by all means do so.

But Rudy well as the man who gave you a renewed life will be dead.

And so will a blind teacher from the center entirely up to you

I know you want to make him talk,

but there's really not much time left.

What about your OSI Taskforce?

Still searching?

They won't find you.

Believe me?

Good to see you.

They came and took Michael.

Three men earlier tonight.

We just the facts, ma'am.

Say men were here the other evening. 8:24pm.

Did you hear where they were taking him? No, ma'am.

They had girl with them and Carol.

I thought they might say something to the other man.

What are the man? I an Alien Life Force captain.

No doubt about it. He was the leader.

It's only logical. I noticed the signal he gave them.

Thank you Nick

Come with me.

Could you draw his face the other man?

Please try to draw his face for me.

Affirmative. Get Steve

Yeah here, Jamie, I'm glad you're here.

Because Stevens found fortress.

They're in an abandoned glass factory. That'll be an overnight trip

Hill. Here's how.

John Fraser that's how they've stayed one step ahead of us this entire time.

One of my patients at the clinic identified him

Only Austin Castilian.

And he's too arrogant to be bought

hope you can see me Steve

Jamie hope you can hear this.

Steve

COVID

Sandiaga Steve

I got my motorcycle

ladies and gentlemen.

I would like to propose a toast to the destruction of fortress

What do you hear? What do you say?

How does it feel to be a hero?

Heroes are just frightened men that make bad decisions

that good moments right, Colonel? That's right.

Michael if you ever get tired of being a Top Gun in the Air Force, aren't you like to come to work?

For me, no no no no Oscar. He is not going to go to work for you.

You think he has a choice? Jamie?

By Oscar, you need us try not to find us.

I'll try not to make a note of that and Trish noted.

Oh, hey big fella. I just wanted to tell you that you're welcome.

And that's with one L

Well, you know I'm an orphan but if I had a father at wanting to be just like you

don't depress me well,

we outnumbered the Alamo was in that number.

Excuse me. As I was saying back in the South Bronx is rounded in this house like 14 people

I think my mother called dad

so how do I say this doc?

Straight out I think that's the best way.

Dad look. I said some things in the hospital that Well,

I know

we both need some time.

You to get used to your bionics and me

to get to the Western

will make it

certainly is a beautiful day isn't.

It certainly is.

awfully glad you didn't give up on me.

Somewhere to find the future.

I know a small candlelit restaurant

go for it.
