Original subtitles

GRAYLAND: Come to me, Stingray! Oh, she's beautiful, isn't she?

Just like she's answering the command you gave her, Dad.

She is.

She had to come to repair the warning system.

Now.

OSCAR (VO): Here are some scenes from Part One of "Sharks".

The Stingray's in trouble.

Ten... five.

I think I'm gonna get back into that sub now.

(CABLE SNAPS)

Hold it!

You think I'm afraid to use this gun?

Lady, anybody with sharks as swimming companions...

isn't afraid of anything as far as I'm concerned.

Is that another one of your pets?

That one's my best work.

It has a brain implant, which means that I can control him electronically.

Remember that if you're considering an escape attempt.

The FBI has picked up a suspect...

who may have planted an explosive device on the Stingray.

He worked at the Boston Navy Yard last year...

when torpedoes and nuclear missiles were stolen.

Are you suggesting the possibility that that theft...

has something to do with what's going on out here?

I'm only guessing, and I may be wrong.

The Stingray is in enemy hands, Gentlemen.

It's piracy.

It's an ancient, sometimes honorable, always profitable profession.

I thought this caper was designed to prove you can handle sharks.

I was gonna sail the Stingray into New York Harbor...

to show them what I can do with my sharks, but this proved to be too good.

And once the torpedoes are loaded and we're off, nothing's gonna stop us.

Cynthia, use the special shark to eliminate the bathysphere problem.

(ELECTRONIC TONES)

(CABLE SNAPS)

Austin's loose. He's taken scuba gear out of Room 3.

I told you he should have been killed.

He'll get in the sub.

GRAYLAND: Cynthia, bring him back.

(ELECTRONIC TONES)

I know that Rudy's alive in that bathysphere...

and I feel it in my bones that Steve's alive, too.

I'm ordering the Stingray to be depth charged and destroyed.

OSCAR (VO).' In a moment, the conclusion of "Sharks".

FLIGHT COM: It looks good at NASA One.

B- 52 >PILOT: Roger.

BCS Arm switch is on.

FLIGHT COM: Okay, Victor.

B-52 PILOT: Landing Rocket Arm switch is on. Here comes the throttle.

Circuit breakers in.

STEVE: We have separation.

B-52 PILOT: Inboard and outboards are on.

I'm comin' forward with the side stick.

FLIGHT COM: Looks good.

PILOT: Ah, Roger.

STEVE: I've got a blowout in damper three.

SR-71 PILOT: Get your pitch to zero.

STEVE: Pitch is out. I can't hold altitude!

B-52 PILOT: Correction. Alpha Hold is all“. Threat selector is emergency.

STEVE: Flight Com. I can't hold it! She's breaking up! She's breaking...

ANNOUNCER: Steve Austin. Astronaut.

A man barely alive.

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.

(MAIN TITLE THEME)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Steve.

Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

You're sorry. That wipes out everything, right?

Look, I'm not making excuses.

Just an apology to make chopping down the bathysphere okay...

leaving a man helpless on the bottom on the ocean...

using sharks to risk the lives of...

My sharks can kill.

Now, so far I've kept them from harming anyone.

You should be grateful.

What do you want? My vote of thanks?

That man in the bathysphere...

he's sending a message in Morse Code!

He's gotta be stopped.

Parker, wait.

You are reacting before thinking.

Now what could he possibly say to a surface party that can hurt us?

I don't know, but I don't see why we should risk his tellin' them anything.

Parker, you're a very valuable man when you act under orders.

Otherwise, you have the finesse of an outraged bull.

Now, they know the man's alive down here...

so the Navy is gonna be far less eager to do anything drastic...

to stop the Stingray if there's a possibility he could be harmed.

That limits their action against us.

What about Austin?

Well, what about him?

Look, Captain...

when you gave the order that no one was to be hurt, it made sense.

In the beginning, but no more. Not with him.

He's shown how dangerous he is.

His escape was our own fault.

It won't happen again.

Now, get over to the Stingray, check out the work, and report back to me.

I wanna know when it can get underway.

Adams, I want two men guarding him.

He's a time bomb ready to explode.

What have you got?

Dr. Wells, sir. He rapped a message he's okay.

He saw Colonel Austin.

Thanks. Sir?

I'm also getting sounds of pounding and hammering.

Somebody's working in the sub.

Stay on those phones.

Admiral, sir, back up destroyers coming up fast.

(NAVAL SIRENS WAIL)

Steve and Rudy are definitely alive down there, Josh.

I know. I got the report.

But work is apparently in progress on the Stingray.

If she's repaired and moves out, she'll be virtually impossible to locate.

You can't bomb that submarine, Josh.

You'll virtually seal the death warrant on two men.

Oscar, I don't want to harm Steve and Rudy...

but I have a national security obligation.

I cannot allow a nuclear sub in some enemy's hands to become operational.

There's got to be another way.

When I was in underwater demolition during World War II...

we had to block a harbor entrance quickly.

We used the NPB 427s.

Magnetic picket mines?

Oscar, you may have just come up with something.

You get points for bringing this thing off without getting anybody hurt so far.

How long do you think you can run it out?

All the way.

You said yourself those ships up there can destroy you.

They destroy me, they destroy you.

It's a perfect stand-off until I can get the Stingray ready...

and shipped out of here. Perfect.

This is the latest version of the NPB 427 picket bomb.

The Stingray will be surrounded by magnetic bombs anchored to the sea bed.

An explosive picket fence.

Place these bombs at 30 foot intervals so the Stingray can't slip through.

All right. There's just one problem.

What?

The sub could be made ready and slip away...

during the 30 minutes or so it'll take to drop those bombs into position.

If I could prevent them from doing repairs the next 30 minutes...

we'll have them blocked.

How?

Got an idea.

The steering assembly is about set.

We'll have it installed in about a half an hour and that should do it.

What about the missile tubes?

Beautiful. They'll be ready by the time we shove off...

Shhh.

(ELECTRONIC MORSE CODE)

That's an S.O.S.

So? We're in no trouble. Why care if they are?

Don't be stupid.

It doesn't hurt to find out what the other side is thinking, or offering.

Go ahead.

There are three naval vessels in the area.

Either you stop work on the Stingray immediately...

or we'll blast you out of the water.

You could have dropped depth charges at any time.

We have two of your men down here. You want them to get killed?

No, but unless you stop work, we have no choice.

Oh, I see.

Our choice is to wait down here like sitting ducks, or pop up and surrender.

No thanks.

You haven't got a chance. None. Zero.

You stop work or we bomb. It's as simple as that.

What kind of deal will you make if we accept?

We might offer you leniency at the trial.

Hold the work.

Well, I can't make that kind of a decision.

I'll have to contact my commander. He'll talk to you.

Is there a chance of finishing up quietly so they can't hear?

OSCAR: Stop all work immediately and then we can talk.

I'll give you 30 minutes.

I'll get back to you.

Maybe he thought I was bluffing.

We'll find out if we hear any pounding.

OSCAR: The destroyers are dropping bombs right on target.

PARKER: They're dropping them in a circle about 30 feet apart. 30 feet.

If the Stingray tries to move, she's blasted out of the water!

Can you get the engines going?

Move her out before the bombs are in place?

Even if she was ready, they'd hear the engines.

They sent word down, turn the engines over...

or even work on the sub, and they start dropping depth charges immediately!

This can't happen! I won't let it.

I planned too well for things to go wrong.

Oh, I'll find a way out.

No, you won't. No, you won't.

You are so locked into your own plans, you can never think your way out of them.

How could I improvise something?

(GROANS)

Dad! I'm all right. I'm all right.

I'm just unrealistic.

Parker is right. There is no way.

I should have learned how to accept defeat by now.

You came so close.

Nobody could have done any better.

In this game, there are no prizes for second place.

GRAYLAND: We've lost.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

It's not over.

It's not over.

We can move the Stingray silently, out of range of the hydrophones.

That's impossible.

You're a very lucky accident.

First, you stumble into us and second, you didn't get killed.

You're gonna push the sub.

Wrong.

How can he?

It's simple. First, we empty some ballast to establish neutral buoyancy.

Once the sub is off the ocean floor, he'll be able to move it.

Your friend in the bathysphere.

I saw how you reacted the first time you saw him.

Wanna take a look? He's still there.

Right on the very bottom.

He's helpless.

You do as you're told...

or I'll send a swimmer over to the bathysphere to open the hatch...

and it's goodbye to whoever's inside.

You can't do that.

Yes, I can, Mister. Because this is go for broke.

Like the man says, there are no prizes for second place...

but for first, there is a jackpot.

And believe me, I will do what is necessary!

Control to Stingray. Control to Stingray.

This is Parker. Now listen.

I want a man to swim over to the bathysphere and open the hatch.

Do it now.

This is the Captain. Now scrub that order.

Don't... I repeat... don't open the hatch.

I will not have a killing!

I knew it. I knew it all along.

You don't have what it takes to carry this job off.

I knew I'd have to take over.

Okay, Williams.

I'll watch him.

You swim over to the bathysphere...

and you know what to do.

Williams, I'm in command here!

Now you take orders from me!

Don't listen to him!

I say you take or...

Dad! Dad!

He needs First Aid.

Do we open the hatch?

Steve, please!

We don't have much time!

Hurry.

He needs oxygen.

Suppose Grayland lives.

Your friend in the bathysphere has had it unless you follow orders.

Cynthia!

Stop it! Let me go!

It won't do any good!

You don't care about anything or anybody.

The only thing that matters to you is money.

Well, let me tell you something, I've never wanted to hurt anybody...

but you've taught me a good lesson, and if I had a gun in my hands right now...

You'd do nothing. Now look after your father.

Come on.

Congratulations.

You probably saved his life which will last another 18 minutes.

That's when they start dropping depth charges.

That's when we all go.

But your friend in the bathysphere, he has even less time.

Because Williams will open the hatch in a couple of minutes.

That's a lot of dead people, Austin.

And you can save 'em all.

All you have to do is push the sub out of range of their hydrophones...

so we can finish repairs and get out of here. That's all.

If I agree to push the sub, how do you figure to get it by the picket bombs?

That's my problem. Your problem is a simple yes or no.

Now.

Seven minutes.

Not a sound.

If they could have started that sub, believe me, they would have done it by now.

Oscar, I'm not in the mind-reading business.

You gave them 30 minutes. That's what they get.

I want the bathysphere moved out of the area...

so that guy can't report what we're doing.

Get ready, lady. You're coming with us.

I'm staying with my father.

I'm all right. Don't worry about me.

I need you.

And as long as he's being taken care of down here, you'll cooperate, won't you?

And you, Austin.

We know that you'll try something.

But it wouldn't be wise when everybody's watching.

A noise, just a noise...

and they start dropping depth charges from up there.

A wrong move down here, we take care of you and the bathysphere.

Do you understand?

Right.

Leave the special shark, but bring the others.

They're gonna do guard duty while we push the sub.

In case somebody gets curious and comes down for a look.

All right.

Let's go.

PARKER: Stingray to Control. Stingray to Control.

We're cutting the phone line from the sub to the tender.

We are hooking it into Ed's helmet.

Once it's hooked, they'll think they are talking to the Stingray.

They'll never know the difference.

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

Oscar, I think you've pulled it off.

All the picket bombs are in place with three minutes to go...

and not a sound from the Stingray.

(INTERCOM BUZZER)

Stingray.

This is Oscar Goldman speaking.

30 minutes aren't up yet.

I'm calling to warn you.

You are completely surrounded by magnetic bombs.

Approach one and you'll be blasted out of the water.

Okay. Keep your hair on.

I'll tell the Captain.

I want to speak to the Captain.

He's not aboard. He'll get back to you.

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

Are you sure there's nothing, no engine, no propeller, no work crew?

Zero sound, sir.

Come on, Oscar, what's bugging you?

The phone on the Stingray, it has a different sound to it.

Like what?

It's not as full. Strange. Hollow. I don't like it.

Oscar, she's loaded with sophisticated hardware.

They've blocked out sonar.

Maybe they're trying something that's affecting the phone.

Now what could they do? We got 'em locked.

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

Time's up. I wanna talk with your Captain.

He's on his way. He should be here any second.

I've got a gut feeling something's wrong down there.

I could take a chance and send down some frogmen.

If there are any sharks, don't take any risks.

Send them back up.

I'll keep whoever's on the other end of this phone occupied.

Stingray, I wanna know what's holding up your captain.

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(METAL CREAKING)

How was the Stingray moved?

Powered by Pixies.

With luck, you'll get ten years for stealing government property.

If anything happens to Rudy Wells or Steve Austin, the charge is murder.

Now if you wanna cooperate, we might be able to make a deal.

I already made my deal.

Get him out of here.

Oscar, I've ordered hunter-killer submarines.

They should be on the scene in about an hour.

I don't know if they can find the Stingray, powered by Pixies...

but if they do, they'll let go with everything they have.

It's all my fault, Josh.

I talked you out of those depth charges when we could have blasted the Stingray.

It doesn't matter whose fault it is. We've lost the sub.

And the two men I hoped to save.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Hold it, Austin.

Now I've seen what you can do. I'm a believer.

It makes my trigger finger very dancey.

One other thing: If you're even better than I think you are...

and you do manage to take my gun away...

her father won't be alive when you get in to see him.

That's guaranteed.

Steve, I've got no right, but please.

The gun's enough of a problem.

Let's go.

PARKER: You're out of range of the hydrophones.

Get this boat ready fast. I want missiles top priority.

(AIR HISSING)

It was just a crazy dream, wasn't it?

Dad, don't. Don't take it that way.

You deserved...

It was, wasn't it?

Maybe if I'd had the courage to say so...

I owe you an apology, Austin.

Not that it's worth much.

A man lets his frustration get tangled up with his pride, he's asking for trouble.

Is there a chance the men on the Stingray will reject Parker's orders?

No.

He hired 'em.

I trusted him.

Austin...

forget me if you can save Cynthia and yourself.

No whispering!

Say it loud enough for me to hear or be quiet.

Well, I was just explaining that I'm an old man with a weak heart...

and couldn't possibly disarm three guards single handed.

At least, I don't think I can.

It's very funny.

The three of us will be moving back to the sub.

Get the charts packed, then follow Williams.

I'll follow along.

WILLIAMS: What happens to them?

You'd really rather not know, wouldn't you?

Well, Captain, you planned it.

I'll give you credit for that...

even though you didn't have the backbone to finish the job.

Well, I guess that's your epitaph.

No backbone.

Are you going to add murder to piracy?

They've always gone hand in hand, haven't they?

Murdering us isn't going to accomplish anything.

Control to Stingray. Control to Stingray.

Stingray.

This is Parker. Now listen.

I want to know the minute you're ready to turn the engines over.

Right.

Now we wait...

but not for long.

Planes are en route, and we're covering the area with detection devices...

but I'm not optimistic.

Rudy doesn't have much more oxygen, Josh.

Sir, there's an oil slick off the port bow.

OSCAR: It's spreading slowly.

That's got Steve's signature.

The Stingray. That gives us a bead on her.

Oscar, this time I've got no choice.

Direct the ASW aircraft to that area...

and order the destroyers to ready depth charges.

Aye, aye, sir.

(SIRENS WAIL)

Missile tubes are okay and loaded.

Control to Stingray. Control to Stingray!

Stingray.

Any damage?

Not yet, but the bombs are moving closer.

Look, there's a back-up emergency buoy.

Release it. I'm coming over.

Will do.

Now look, you watch those two.

Tom and I will take Austin to the sub.

Why? Just do as you're told!

Now move!

Now look, Austin, your friend in the bathysphere...

I kept him alive just in case you got stubborn again.

Buoy! Ten points off starboard bow.

Tell them to cease fire.

Cease fire! Cease fire!

This is Oscar Goldman speaking.

Mr. Goldman, the Stingray is now armed with nuclear missiles.

The first one is aimed at Charleston, South Carolina.

It's ready to fire.

He says the Stingray is armed with nuclear weapons and ready to fire.

Try to find out who he is.

I wanna know who I'm dealing with.

I'm authorized to speak for the new commander of the Stingray...

Captain Morgan Grayland.

Captain Morgan Grayland.

Grayland? I've known him for years. He's brilliant!

He's unstable, but I'm sure he wouldn't use a nuclear missile.

Call his bluff.

Either you and your men surface immediately, or we'll resume bombing.

That's final.

I don't think so.

I'll let you speak to someone who may change your mind.

Oscar, this is Steve.

Steve, are you all right?

Never mind. But I've seen the nuke and it's in firing mode exactly as described.

Admiral Prescott says he knows Morgan Grayland...

and that Morgan Grayland wouldn't fire,

Well, the man down here with his finger on the button will.

I'm sure of it.

Mr. Goldman, the first missile's aimed at Charleston.

That will demonstrate that I mean business.

The second is aimed at a larger city.

What do you want?

Just move all your ships out of the area. Right now.

Any delay and that will... Well, you know what that'll mean.

Steve says the Stingray is armed.

Armed with nuclear missiles.

Missiles ready to fire unless you clear all these vessels out of here.

We can't! He'd hold the whole world as a hostage.

But he'll destroy a city with tens of thousands of people now...

if we try to stop him.

I am not a patient man, Mr. Goldman.

At least we'll buy time.

I accept your terms.

Well?

Engines rewing.

They're leaving the area.

What happened?

He's got nuclear missiles on board the Stingray and he's prepared to use them.

I never knew that.

Radio all other ships to continue at flank speed away from the area of the Stingray.

If we go any further, we won't have any hope of stopping that sub.

Stop engines.

It's all clear.

All right. Let's wrap it up.

Finish collecting the charts and don't waste any time.

I probably won't be needing the sharks any more.

Although if you were a different kind of woman, you could come with us...

and use them in emergency.

I'd agree if you were the emergency.

(CHUCKLES)

She's so unfriendly, but understandable.

It's a shame to waste such a talent as yours, but...

The sub seems to be making a run for it. We gotta take our best shot.

Those ASW planes will unload everything they've got...

and we hope we blast them before they can release their missile.

Stingray to Control.

Charts ready to go.

Stingray to Control.

Control here.

Repairs completed. Ready to move out.

Great! I'll be right over.

Now look.

There's an easy way to do what has to be done. Get some blasting powder.

Plant it around the cave entrance and we'll set it off as we leave.

They'll never get out of here.

I'd give anything not to get out of here, but to get my hands on you!

I've made so many mistakes, but there's one thing that's driving me out of my mind.

You! I trusted you!

Rave on, old man. Rave on.

You won't get away with it.

I'm gonna stop you with my own hands!

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

Steve.

Can we get him out of here?

We can float him out and up to the surface.

There'd be no exertion and he'd be breathing a rich oxygen mixture.

Come on.

We'll take him up, but I gotta make sure that my friend in the bath ysphere is all right.

What about Parker? He might get free and come after us.

Okay. I know how to handle that.

I'll take care of it now.

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

Let me out of this thing.

PARKER: They sealed us in the cave!

If we can stop Austin, we might dig our way out.

The men in the sub, they'd come looking for us, they'd help us!

Stop Austin? You gotta be kidding.

We've got a chance!

Can you control that shark?

No. But a shark is a shark. But I can tear him loose.

He can do what comes naturally.

(ELECTRONIC TONES)

CYNTHIA: Steve! Look!

Have I got a chance against that shark?

Maybe. He doesn't have a human intelligence controlling him now.

Try to keep the bath ysphere between you and the shark.

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

Cynthia, swim to the surface with your father.

What about you?

Just go. And I'll join you as soon as I check Rudy.

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

I don't believe it.

Of course not.

Because you don't really know Steve Austin.

The man in the bathysphere?

He'll be fine.

There's only one thing left to say. Bless you.

OSCAR: Well, all decompressed?

Finally.

Steve, I think you cut it a little close.

Next time, if you don't mind, I'd rather be rescued before I'm gasping for air.

I had my hands full with a big fish.

(ALL LAUGH)

We've got frogmen down checking the surveillance system.

The crew on the Stingray are in custody...

and the two in the cave will be brought up and put in the brig.

Well, they came close to pullin' it off.

You got your people to clean up that oil slick, didn't you, Josh?

Yeah.

How's your father?

Doctor says he has a good chance of recovering.

The fact that he has a chance at all is because of you.

I really don't know how to thank you.

Don't try.

When he does recover, he'll face charges.

So will I.

That's the way it should be.

Afraid so.

You've tried just about everything else.

Have you ever considered rehabilitating an ex-con?

Well, not yet.

Well, I'm not an ex-con yet.

But when I am, and if you will.

We'll talk about it.
