[Man 1] It looks good
at NASA One.

[Man 2] Roger.
BCS Arm switch is on.

[Man 1] Okay, Victor.

[Man 2] Landing Rocket
Arm switch is on.

Here comes the throttle.
Circuit breakers in.

- [Steve] We have separation.
- [Man 1] Roger.

[Man 2] Inboards and outboards
are on.

I'm comin' forward
with the side stick.

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

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

- [Man 2] Get your pitch to zero.
- [Steve] Pitch is out.

[Steve] I can't hold altitude.

[Man 2] Correction,
Alpha Hold is off.

Turn selectors... Emergency!

[Steve] Flight Com,
I can't hold it.

She's breaking up.
She's break...

[explosion]

[Rudy] Steve Austin, astronaut.

A man barely alive.

[Oscar] Gentlemen,
we can rebuild him.

We have the technology.

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

Steve Austin will be that man.

Better than he was before.

Better, stronger, faster.

[theme music]

[military theme]

[music continues]

[Beck] White Bird to Grey Fox.
White Bird to Grey Fox.

White Bird to Grey Fox,
White Bird to Grey Fox.

[Shank] Grey Fox to White Bird.
Grey Fox to White Bird.

Go ahead, White Bird.

[Beck] We have power
on both boosters.

We're ready to synchronize.
Over.

Ready to synchronize.
Test for maximum power.

Over.

[Beck] We are ready.

Uh, turn on the first booster.

[Oscar] I don't want to hear
that it's impossible.

- Take it easy, Oscar.
- I understand your problem.

I don't think
you do understand, David.

We have an intelligence
report that says

there may be an attempt
to sabotage the launch.

The best protection
against sabotage

is to schedule it earlier
than anyone expects.

But to have the 1 -B ready
for launch in six days

is cutting 4 days
out of our schedule.

Order three shifts.
The OSI's paying the bill.

I want Colonel Austin
and Dr. Russell up there

in six days.

[sighing]

Uh, Nancy, I want a meeting with
the Saturn 1 B systems engineers

and the launch staff in the
conference room in 30 minutes.

No, no, you can cancel that.

And I want around
the clock shifts

on pad B starting tomorrow.

- Alright.
- Thank you, David.

Well, all of a sudden,
I've got a lot of work to do.

Make yourself at home.

I just hope we can pull it off.

You always have before.

I get the feeling
there's more to this

than what you told Dave.

I'm afraid so, pal.

This is a satellite
that we sent up last year.

The nation's missile defense
program depends on it,

and it's beginning
to malfunction.

That's why I wanna get you
up there to link up with it

and replace
the satellite's brain.

Well, now,
I understand the rush.

Dr. Leah Russell who designed
the satellite's new brain

will be your co-pilot.

She'll fine tune the system
after the link up.

Sounds good.

There's just one more thing.

This orbital satellite
wasn't designed for link ups.

And you'll have to enter
through this

emergency hatch.

Oscar, when I open that hatch,

the pressure release could
blast us into the next galaxy.

That's why I want you
to use your bionics

to prevent the hatch
from blowing.

And vent the pressure
gradually, like this.

The success of this mission
depends on you, Steve.

Nobody else can do it.

[dramatic music]

Good thing we got some time.

That impulse booster
is giving me a lot of trouble.

Just as long as we're ready
for the launch.

I'd give half my bonus
to see their faces

when we snatch that bird right
out of their hands.

That'd be a considerable
shock to them, won't it?

[Man] It's Webster.

- Yeah, what is it Webster?
- We got problems.

The launch has been moved up.
It's going in six days, not ten.

[Shanks] Positive?

I just returned from a meeting.

McGrath has put extra
crews on the pad,

and a Colonel Steve Austin
is gonna do

the repair work
on the satellite.

[Shanks] If this thing
falls apart,

it means a $1 million investment

and a $10 million dollar pay off

down the drain.

What are our chances
of being ready in six days?

Are you serious?

[sighing]

Delay the launch,
we can't be ready in six days.

But be careful,
whatever you do

has to look like an accident
that causes a delay,

not an FBI investigation.

Well, that just leaves
the Saturn 1 -B or Steve Austin.

And I can't get close
enough to the 1 -B. Not now.

Well, that leaves Austin.

It's worth 25,000.

Alright.

- Alright, get on with it.
- Yes, sir.

[tense music]

On its side, it's like
a sleeping giant.

But when it's standin' up...

Well, I could never do it.

I could never ride
one of these things.

Well, that sure gives me
confidence.

Being as you're one of the guys
that put these things together.

Uh, you know what I mean, Steve.

Yeah, sure do.

I've been away from these birds
so long

I've been feelin' a lil'
uptight myself

ever since Oscar told me
I was goin' for another ride.

How do you get yourself
to do it?

I don't know. [sighing]

I keep tellin' myself
it's like riding a wild bronc.

And I'm gonna stay on, make it
go where I want it to.

That I'm in control.

Well, the truth is, Saturn 1 -B
is like 34 million horses.

Well, a day before the launch
is when that hits me.

Scares me.

I still don't know
how you do it.

Say, uh, when am I gonna meet
Dr. Russell?

This evening. She came in
from Houston last night.

I got in touch with you because
you once worked

at the Space Center,
and you know the routine.

When you called you said
this had something

to do with a guy named Austin.

Steve Austin, that right?

Yeah, I, uh,
understand he caused you

a bit of discomfort in the past.

Discomfort?
12 years of it.

Florida state prison.

How'd you like
to settle the score

and get paid for the pleasure?

- How much?
- Twenty-five thousand.

Now, the way you do it
is your business.

But it must look
like an accident.

Just 5,000 in here.

Oh, you'll get the rest

when I get word
that Steve Austin's been killed.

Accidentally.

[instrumental music]

[steam hissing]

[Leah] I hope that's not
too much steam.

Oh no, that's fine.

I'm sorry, I, uh,
the last time I bunked here

it was kind of like
West Point, you know?

That's also changed.

Yeah.

You must be Steve Austin.

You must be Dr. Russell.

That's right.

Very pleased to meet you,
Colonel Austin.

It's my pleasure.
I'll come back later.

Oh, I don't mind,
if you don't.

I mean, we're gonna be
living together

in that space capsule
for some time.

Well, I guess you're right.

What's it like out there,
anyway?

In space, I mean.

It's uh, it's, it's quiet, uh...

peaceful and exciting
all at the same time.

Physically demanding?

Over the long haul, yes.

- I was afraid you'd say that.
- Why, you worried?

About getting this
30 year old body

through those stress map tests.

Something tells me
you're gonna make it.

How'd you ever get into
designing brains for satellites?

My parents taught me
trigonometry

instead of the ABC's.

Read me logarithms instead
of fairy tales.

And I entered Oxford
when I was 17.

I know it's stupid.

Silly actually.

But I'm very frightened
about going off into space.

You'll do just fine.

Welcome aboard.

[dramatic music]

[treadmill whirring]

[monitor beeping]

The last quarter coming up.

You gotta do it in 133,
so start pumping it out.

[whirring continues]

That's done it.

128, five seconds to spare.
That's terrific.

Hey, you see?
You made it.

That's what the man said.

I knew there was some zip left

in that 30 year old body
of yours.

What do you say, colonel?

How about showing us
how it's really done?

No, no.
I don't wanna show you up.

After that,
you're gonna have to.

I took mine already
at the OSI headquarters.

Uh, Steve?

I-- I need some
for my records here.

Absolutely.
Come on, colonel.

Come on, I'll wire you up.

[suspenseful music]

Her security clearance
is at least a six, right?

- Mm-hm.
- Well, I think you're right.

It's as good a time as any
for her to find out.

Give me a hand with this
will you, Steve?

[dramatic music]

Okay, Steve.
Hit it.

[treadmill whirring]

[music continues]

[monitor beeping]

How am I doing?

You're not.

You have to be kidding.

I was never more serious
in my life.

Now get cracking, Steve.

[upbeat music]

Come on, colonel.
Turn on the steam.

[music continues]

Well, it looks normal.

I don't believe it.

It's not possible.

How did you do that?

Well, something about
a challenge

just gets my adrenaline
flowing, I guess.

Come on, colonel.

There has to be a better
explanation than that.

Well, we're due at
the high altitude chamber next.

We'll talk on the way.

See, there's a part
of this old legend

not too many people know about.

[tense music]

[music continues]

Let's go through this
by the numbers, okay?

Yeah, we have a new
kid on the block.

By the numbers, you got it.

We always do a manually
stepped run

first time, anyways.

I'll take it first.

[music continues]

[music continues]

[chamber hissing]

[Man] Ready to initiate
procedure.

[Steve] Standing by.

[dramatic music]

Hey, what's happening out there?

I don't know the auto-sequence
kicked in.

[keys clicking]

Hit the override.

I did, nothing happened.

He'll suffocate in there.
Do something.

Hurry, hurry.

[sirens blaring]

He's not getting any air.

Do something, hurry.

[metal crashing]

Are you alright?

I can't figure it.

Contact McGrath.

I want a security check
put on this right away.

[dramatic music]

He's what?

- You better give me that again.
- You heard me.

Austin's alive.
I missed him.

[Webster] Well,
take another shot.

Maybe, in a couple of weeks.

No, we need him
knocked out now.

What's the rush?

If he's still on deck,
something goes

before we're ready.
So you just stay on it.

No way. They're alerted now,
I'll end up back in prison.

Alright, you stay on the job,

you get the rest of your money
now.

Not enough, if I get caught.

Look, uh, if something
goes wrong

there'll be another
25,000 in it for you.

And you forget that
we ever talked.

What's my guarantee?

The money we placed in
your bank account today.

You bought yourself a deal.

He'll get Austin
this time for sure, Mr. Shanks.

He better.

Our backers would get
very unpleasant

if that satellite brain
were launched

before we can control it.

[tense music]

Security boys
don't have anything?

As far as we can tell,
it was an accident.

Some kind of electronic mix-up,

couple of reversed
circuit boards.

You sure that someone didn't get
into that control room

and switch those boards?

Our security has never
been penetrated before.

There's never been
a better reason before.

[sighing] Well,
do we go back to work?

Well, we have no choice.
I don't want to.

I've got to keep
the mission on schedule.

[dramatic music]

[Beck] White Bird to Grey Fox.
White Bird to Grey Fox.

We are ready.

Let's patch it to their flight
computers.

Hit three.

[Man] This is a pre-flight
test.

This is a pre-flight test.

[radio chatter] Come in, niner-roger.
I'd like TETB.

Delta B and Delta T, please.

[radio chatter] Roger TETB.

I have the guidance
indicator light.

Standing by
for guidance update.

[radio chatter] Delta T 1-4-3 minor.

[indistinct chatter on radio]

It's working perfectly.
One down and one more to go.

[beeping]

[radio chatter] That's six-niner
three five, copy.

That's, that's a copy.

I thought maybe I damaged it

when I got knocked
across the ATC.

It's functioning perfectly,
Steve. Perfect.

Well, how do you figure it?

Has to be the flight
guidance signals.

They must interfere with the
bionic mechanism in some way.

That kind of like
the way a microwave oven

messes up a pace maker?

Theory's the same, yeah.

So every time we update
the guidance program

it'll happen again, right?

Most likely.

Now that I know what causes it,
Rudy,

I'd like to stay with this one.

And keep it just between us.

As long as you keep me informed.

As long as it's
a momentary aberration,

and none of your other
bionics are affected.

Okay.

Thanks, Rudy.
Thanks a lot.

Okay, Steve.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music continues]

Hey.

What's Colonel Austin
the astronaut

doing hanging around here?

Astronauts hang
around here a lot.

- Yeah, why?
- Well, a lot of them do.

It's... Especially, uh,
the day before going up.

It's kind of like a,
a ritual with some of them.

- For Colonel Austin too?
- Oh, yeah.

You can bet anything that he'll
be here the day before launch.

Hey, how about that.

[music fades]

[indistinct chatter]

It's a history
of the space program.

Well, Dave's been at the Cape
from the beginning.

So have I.
From my beginning, I mean.

He has commendations from every
president since Kennedy.

I was a baby then.

Medal of Freedom.

He's especially proud
of that one.

And the one on the wall.

Got it at the White House.

I've been watching you,
young lady.

You better stop
bragging so much.

I'm proud of you.

She positively embarrasses me.

Steve, I hear you had an uphill
battle with a treadmill.

Well, you see. I have aged,
it just doesn't show.

He owes that all to me.

We didn't want an old timer
on this project.

But, he's all our budget
would allow.

We don't have to listen
to this nonsense, come on.

I have a confession to make.

This is not a place to confess.

You know the perfect spot?

Yeah, tailor made for
post brunch cocktails

and confessions.

[seagulls squawking]

You don't mean that.

Twelve foot long rattlesnakes.

Sure, they used to come out and
sun themselves up there

where the road is now.

Of course, when we first came
training down here

there wasn't a road there then,

and hardly any people.

Just 12 foot long rattlesnakes?

Yup, and alligators.

Big alligators.

You know, they used to
get under cars

and flip 'em over just for fun.

This is when the space program
first started.

Yup, came here all the time.

Lots of confessing going on
in those days, huh?

Well, I had a lot to confess.

And I think I have
a confession now.

Not before I say
what I have to say.

You mean, about, uh, turning up

the resistance setting
on the treadmill?

You see, when Dr. Wells
was wiring you up for--

You knew?
All the time.

Colonel Austin, you're a rat.

Yeah, well that doesn't make me
a bad person.

And besides,
you see I don't lie.

Now, there's a 12 foot
rattlesnake if I ever saw one.

Don't you put it
anywhere near me.

- [laughing] Don't...
- Come on.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[engine revving]

[rattling]

[suspenseful music]

[radio chatter] Roger, copy eight
seven point four.

[radio chatter] T-0, end of the window.

[radio chatter] 1-3-4-5-1-6.

[radio chatter] Roger. Copy,
end of window 1-3-4-5-1-6.

[radio chatter] Roger.

[Man] We are now
testing escape procedure.

This is a test
for escape procedure.

That's a main, B bus interval.

We'd like you to initiate
an emergency procedure.

No, no you did it again.

First you restart the computer,
then--

Then I deactivate
the sarutack.

Got it.

Sorry.

This is mission director.
What's going on up there?

I'm afraid it's me.
I can't seem to concentrate.

Emergency alert
is well worth the effort, Leah.

I know, I... [sighing]
I just...

Give me a minute
will you, Dave?

I don't know
what's the matter with me.

That happens often
with the emergency alert.

We hope that we never need it.

So sometimes our mind refuses
to cope with it.

Think I understand.

I never take out
insurance when I fly.

[Steve] Exactly.

Feeling better?

Back on the line here,
standin' by.

Okay.
Let's give it another go.

Ready.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[music fades]

- Well, missed you at lunch.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Wasn't hungry.

What, you come here
to work up an appetite?

Oh, it's so frustrating.

Felt so dumb
in that capsule today.

Oh, forget it, you'll catch on.

I tried. It keeps gnawing at me.

You can't keep coming to
my rescue during the mission.

Well, you're right, I can't.

What you need is a co-pilot
you can depend on.

Well, you're right again, I do.

Now, look,
it's just pre-launch jitters.

You'll feel better tomorrow.

Seriously, Steve.

Perhaps I shouldn't be doing
it at all.

Hey, now, wait a minute.

Look, as commander of this
flight I order you

to allow me the pleasure
of one last rescue.

What you need is a lil' RATS.

Uh-huh, another space-age
acronym.

Uh-huh, Remote Area Training
Structure.

We'll go there this afternoon,
after we finish work.

And now, back to work.

[soft music]

Yes, sir, colonel.

You can rescue me any time.

- Feeling more relaxed?
- Very.

Good.

I always used to come here
just to get away

from all that hardware.

Why didn't we just send
a polite note

to Oscar and Dave McGrath

saying due to circumstances
beyond our control,

we're unable to attend
the launch of the Saturn 1 -B?

[chuckles] Wouldn't that just
frost?

They'd probably
never find us here.

Well, it's a good idea,
but they'd find us,

and just in time.

Hm, you know,
I just remembered something.

There was something I have
to do. I'll be right back.

Alone?

Well, I'm a creature of habit.

Just a little ritual I go
through before every launch.

- I promise, I'll be back.
- Okay.

[suspenseful music]

[thudding]

[engine revving]

Richmond. Well, who're you
working for now?

- Nobody.
- Come on.

Didn't you learn anything
in 12 years?

- Cooperate.
- I learned, Austin.

How to hate my friends, my job.
You cost me everything.

You should've thought of that
when you were stealing

those components.

Now, whose payin' you?

Satisfaction.
That's my pay.

And I'd do it again.

I guess you didn't
learn anything, did you?

Come on.

I'm concerned for the safety
of your men, Oscar.

I appreciate that, David.

But you know the priority
of this mission.

[sighing] And now
you know why we want nothing

to do with military launches.

Who needs this?

Dave, if this was an attempt
to interfere with the launch

and not a grudge thing,
we've got it stopped.

There's no reason to abort now.

And there's no time
for another attempt.

Well, it's your show.
Whatever you want.

I'll run a check
on Richmond just to be sure,

but let's tighten up security
on this base

and get on with it.

Alright, it's a go.

[upbeat music]

They're moving that rocket
up to the pad.

- [Beck] Looks like we've lost.
- [Shanks] No, we haven't.

[Shanks] We'll find another way
to stop that launch.

[music continues]

[music continues]

Melissa?

Melissa?

[tense music]

- McGrath?
- [McGrath] What's this all about?

It's about keeping
your daughter alive.

Who are you?
What do you want?

- Money?
- An explosion.

You're gonna blow up
that rocket on the pad.

I'm...
You're out of your mind.

Maybe.

But you'll cooperate
if you want to see

your daughter alive again.

[music continues]

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

[radio chatter] Go TC.

[radio chatter] Uh, we're predicting
a negative

235 pound payload,
margin at two-zero-two-five.

[radio chatter] Roger.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[music continues]

[phone ringing]

McGrath.

Daddy.

Melissa.
Are you alright?

She's dependin' on you,
McGrath.

Hey Al, a cup of coffee would go
real good right now.

[dramatic music]

Well, how you doing?

Have you decided
to go along for the ride?

Oh, I'd like to.

But while you and Leah
are taking your ride,

I'm going back to Washington,
another emergency.

- Hey, where's Rudy?
- He's on his way to Washington.

Well, you guys sure
lead busy lives.

- It's a living.
- Where's McGrath?

Now, he never lets
a launch go up

without shakin'
everybody's hand.

He's probably got his nose
in some console

over at mission control.

I'm beginning to think
nobody cares.

[laughing] I do.

- Good luck, pal.
- Thanks.

[radio chatter] Roger, have you got a
final feed, what time for me?

[radio chatter] Uh, 51 seconds.

[radio chatter] Fifty-one.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[radio chatter] Okay, and I assume
you have your desired T-zero correct?

[radio chatter] I am carrying a 133933.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[indistinct radio chatter]

[Man] T minus 5 minutes
and counting.

Swing arm and white room away.

That's a copy.
Swing arm and white room away.

Launch escape tower,
armed and keyed for jettison.

[Man] T minus 4 minutes,
and holding.

Are we clear for launch?

[radio chatter] Roger I've got that
and it's been passed on to GC.

[indistinct radio chatter]

Cleared for launch.

[Man] T minus 3 minutes,
30 seconds and counting.

Feeling good.

[Man] We have automatic
initiation

of propellant pressurization.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[buzzing]

[dramatic music]

We have a warning light on
second stage

hydrogen pressurization.

[Man] Copy that.

Our instrumentation
is reading normal.

Standby for verification.

[buzzing continues]

We should've had release
valve cycling by now.

[Man] We're working on it,
Mac.

[radio chatter] Copy that,
let's get the white room

back to the bird, just in case.

[Man] Commencing that now.

Have we tried the hard
line to the valves yet?

- [Man] Negative.
- Well, let's do it.

[Man] Hard line in.

[buzzing]

Negative response to that.

Maybe it's a faulty sensor.

Maybe we should...

Steve, I'm scared.

I don't like it.
Abort.

Abort the mission.

[Man] Abort!
Abort mission.

- Hit the LET.
- I did, nothing happened.
