(CROWD CHEERING)

Look out for 37!

(WHISTLE)

Move it!

Get down in a crouch!

ANNOUNCER: And it's another eight points for the Hawks!

Incredible as it seems, they continue to lead the celebrated T-Birds.

Least of all manager Rand Hendricks and coach Maureen Wright of the T-Birds...

as they go down to defeat at the hands of the underdog Hawks.

William!

That new guy of theirs, number 37.

Without him, these clowns would be pushovers.

Bust him up. Put him out of the game.

It's only a skating rink.

Why do you treat it like a battlefield?

As far as I'm concerned, they're all battlefields.

Number 37's luck is about to change.

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 oil“. 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)

(CROWD CHEERING)

(WHISTLE)

Move it!

Hey, come on!

ANNOUNCER: You know, ladies and gentlemen...

they used to joke in the league that the Hawks skated on square wheels!

But no one's joking tonight.

(WHISTLE)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(CROWD CHEERING)

I'm a doctor. Please let me through. Don't move him!

Looks like your man has a broken leg.

RUDY: And, maybe a concussion. Over here!

Over here! Move back, please.

Please, will you please give them room. Let them through, please.

Now be careful, it's his left leg.

Take it very slow. And bring that oxygen with you.

Let's get him in.

Taylor.

Yeah, what do you want?

What do I want? You just put a man in the hospital.

Yeah, well, he was crowding me.

He was crowding you? Is that all you got to say?

Yeah.

You know, Taylor, I've had it with you. I'm tearing up your contract.

Get out of the rink. You're fired.

This team was nothing before I came. You understand? Nothing!

It'll be nothing after I'm gone. Good riddance.

Hello, Oscar.

So, he's still out, huh?

From the gas Steve used on him, huh?

Yeah.

Now, Oscar...

I can't indefinitely keep a healthy man out with a broken leg.

Now how long do I keep up the charade?

I don't know.

We set the trap.

Now we have to wait for Hendricks to take the bait.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Just saying goodbye.

Don't say goodbye yet.

Mr. Hendricks wants to talk to you.

This way.

Don't I know you?

I'm the T-Birds coach.

No, I mean from someplace else.

You look like Maureen Wright.

The skater that was sent home from Innsbruck for...

For being a "professional"?

Some professional.

When I was 15, I won a lousy 25 bucks in a skating race.

And boy, did my parents ever need it.

And you know what happened to my "professional earnings"?

Every penny of it bought groceries.

But that didn't matter to the Committee.

Well, you just had a tough break.

At least I always thought so.

Forget it.

Listen, Mr. Hendricks wants you to skate for the T-Birds.

I don't know.

Why the hesitation? You've got no job.

Afraid you might not like being coached by a woman?

No. I just like to think about things before I make a decision.

We're hiring you to skate, not to think.

No other team in the League will have you after the way you broke Niles' leg.

Mr. Hendricks, you can't hire him after what he did to Niles.

You fill him in on our routine and send him home.

He's going to need a good night's sleep.

HENDRICKS: You're skating for us tomorrow, right?

Okay.

Let's go.

I don't like that guy.

Why?

Because he's a better skater than you or because Maureen knows he's better?

Warn your new skater to stay out of my way.

ANNOUNCER: Don't forget, folks, Monday the 31st, Halloween night...

kids basketball game, The Ghosts vs. The Witches!

Joey Green, meet Phil Taylor.

You can count on Joey but don't get too close.

He usually eats onions before the game.

Eddie Randal.

Eddie'd be a great player if he wasn't always keeping an eye out for the cops.

Chip Curtis.

Point him in the right direction, he'll be okay.

Phil Brady.

Yeah.

Sorry about the block I threw you last night.

(BUZZER)

Hey, come on! Let's move, you guys.

Come on. Move it, move it! Let's go!

Hurry up.

Good luck.

(BUZZER)

ANNOUNCER: And there's the final bell.

The T-Birds have done it again.

They've certainly bounced back from their ignominious defeat...

at the hands of the Hawks.

Hiring Phil Taylor after the Hawks dropped him might be one of the reasons.

As the saying goes, "if you can't beat them..."

(CROWD CHEERING)

(TEAM CHATTER)

We got a report from Interpol.

The Syndicate is ready to buy information from Hendricks for 10 million dollars.

It'd have to be top secret to call for a price like that.

He's going to make the drop on October 31st, Halloween.

The delay, we think, is because he hasn't got the merchandise yet.

The 31st.

He'd have to pick it up this week.

What I want you to do is find out what he's after...

where it is and how he intends to get it.

Good luck, pal.

Hey, you guys, real good.

All right.

Boy, when those Williams brothers started to double team me...

I thought I was going to have to make out my will.

Thanks for being there, Taylor.

If you're wanna thank me, thank Brady. He was there, too.

I don't need you to throw me any bones, Taylor.

Okay, everybody, listen.

The special practice squad meets in 20 minutes.

Taylor, Mr. Hendricks wants you there, too.

Wear these.

You gotta be kidding.

I didn't sign on to play no kids' games.

These costumes could affect wind resistance...

jumping ability and freedom of movement.

I want you used to them, okay?

Special practice? What's that?

Don't worry, Taylor. I'll be there to hold your hand.

RANDAL: I still want to know why we're wearing these.

HENDRICKS: Maybe you're all going to a Halloween party.

Okay, boys, you know the drill.

You start, Curtis.

HENDRICKS: No good, Curtis.

You don't pass go, go directly to jail.

All right, you're next, Randal.

All right, Brady, go.

That's good, Brady, as usual.

All right, Taylor, let's see what you can do.

Taylor, you continue to amaze me.

Maureen, you have every man do it again.

Only this time with packs.

And have every man do it until every man clears the line.

You got that? Yep.

Let's go, guys.

Mr. Hendricks, excuse me for asking, what's all this got to do with skating?

Taylor, that's a floor, those are a pair of skates.

You're on top of both of them. Is that clear enough?

As clear as day.

That's good.

Maureen, you have them go through everything.

If you need me, I'll be in my office, all right?

Phil.

Phil Taylor. You're next, come on.

Let's go, guys! Hit the ramp!

What do you got in here?

Oh. Bricks.

Don't ask me. I just work here.

Bricks?

How long am I gonna be laid up here?

Well, that's a difficult question to answer.

Your leg's broken in three places. Healing takes time.

You said that yesterday.

I don't get it. I mean, a nothing spill, and I get busted up that bad?

It always surprises a layman to see how fragile human bones can be.

Let me show you.

Take a look at this x-ray.

You got a couple of hairline fractures right here.

And a very bad break here.

You see that?

Yeah. I see.

Look, I know how tough it is, but you're just going to have to be patient.

You'll be as good as new.

Yeah. Thanks.

Okay, I'll check back later.

(LINE RINGS)

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello?

Yeah, this is Niles.

How are you doing?

You're not gonna believe what I got to tell you.

There's nothing wrong with me.

This doc here...

If he is a doc... He just showed me an x-ray.

It's not mine.

I've had this pin in my leg since I was a kid...

there's no pin in the x-ray.

This whole thing is some kind of a set up. It's a scam.

I know...

Aren't you gonna... What do you mean, you know?

We both know every skater in the League.

Did you ever hear of Phil Taylor?

No.

Well, nobody did.

He comes out of nowhere.

He's maybe the best skater I've ever seen.

What does he do?

He wipes you out with a simple bump...

and then he's fired by his coach so he can take your place on the T-Birds.

That's convenient, isn't it?

You didn't hire him, did you?

Of course I hired him.

Now that I know who their undercover man is...

I'll use him until I don't need him anymore.

Then when he's no longer useful...

I'll eliminate him.

So relax. Enjoy yourself stay put.

Don't worry. I'll take care of Taylor.

Okay. Now practice the jumps with your masks on.

Keep it up until you can make it once without falling.

Then, and only then, take five.

And remember to practice coasting the crouch. Okay?

You're a regular Hans Brinker.

Sure. Didn't you see the silver skates?

You read the book.

Well, didn't every kid?

Not in this bunch.

I don't know if they can even read their own police records.

Why does Hendricks hire people like this?

If the owners knew he hired them, Hendricks would be out on his ear.

None of that particular breed of skater is wanted in the game.

Well, they're tough, huh?

Like you.

And they do what he says.

And if you're smart, you'll do what he says, too.

Like you? Without question?

Yeah. Why not?

Look, I can take orders as well as the next guy. Maybe better.

But if somebody tells me to train people to skate with bricks on their backs...

I got to wonder, don't you?

No.

Look, when you pass 21

and the only skill you can list on your resume is skating...

there aren't too many positions available for a girl.

Hendricks saved me from a lot of things. I'm grateful.

And I show it by keeping my curiosity in check.

I don't think you give yourself credit.

I think that you can do anything you wanted to.

Do you really believe that?

Yes, I do.

And when you do, it'll happen.

Okay boys. That's enough.

Mr. Hendricks wants to check you on your specialties.

Specialties?

If you think it's been crazy so far...

But wait, I'll let you see for yourself.

I want to talk to you, Taylor.

Then talk.

I don't want to see you around Maureen.

Well, we'll go around with her, Brady.

It's called 'skating'.

Always with the smart mouth, huh?

That's what Maureen probably sees in you.

You're good with words, just like her.

Well, if I catch you with her again...

we'll see how you talk with your teeth rearranged.

Look, Brady, there are two kinds of people I tend to socialize with.

The people I like, and the people I can stand.

Right now, you don't fit in either category.

HENDRICKS: Well, Taylor, you got any hobbies?

You've got to be kidding.

If there's one thing I never do, Taylor, that's kid.

Do you have a pastime?

Like Curtis, here.

He's interested in glassblowing.

Or Randal, with his target practice.

Terrific, Randal.

Or Brady here.

He's becoming quite a plumber. Right, Brady?

What I'm most interested in is somebody who can throw darts.

Did you ever throw any darts, Taylor?

Yeah, from time to time.

Funny, I thought you'd say that.

Let's see if you can hit that target over there.

Let's see if you can hit the yellow square in the middle.

That's good, Taylor.

Now remember, I don't like the darts hitting the floor...

so you keep practicing.

Maureen, I want to see you in my office.

The rest of you can clean up and go home.

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

Incredible.

It's the Pentagon.

Steve, it's incredible

Well, that's howl felt when I saw the blueprints.

How do you suppose he got them?

Well, with 10 million dollars at the other end...

I think Hendricks can afford a few bribes.

Audacious man, isn't he?

How do you think the skating figures in? Or the glassblowing?

Don't forget the dart practicing.

Steve, I'm just happy that we know where he's going to strike.

Well, I think I can help you with when.

We got games scheduled tomorrow and Saturday.

And he's supposed to deliver the merchandise Halloween.

That's Monday night.

He won't want to hold on to stolen merchandise for very long.

He'll move on Sunday.

That figures.

With civilians gone, the Pentagon would practically be empty.

What do you think he's after?

Could be anything.

The Pentagon is a supermarket of classified material.

When do we pick Hendricks up?

Not right away.

I don't want to let him slip away on a conspiracy charge.

I want him and that coach, what's her name?

Maureen Wright? All of them...

red handed, holding a smoking gun.

Meaning I let them into the Pentagon.

And I keep them from getting out.

Steve, unless I miss my guess...

we got them right where we want them.

Those skates you've just been issued...

have wheels of a special soft rubber composition.

They're good for maybe 20 miles and they run very silent.

I guess you're wondering why, Taylor?

Taylor, I think it's time we let you in on a little secret the rest of us share.

We're about to commit a robbery.

HENDRICKS: Not surprised, are you?

None of you were.

I guess it's a long time since any of us were Boy Scouts.

Or Girl Scouts. I'll need you, too, Maureen.

Why? Be patient.

I'll tell you later.

What are we stealing?

That, I haven't told anyone.

But we're going to do it in 15 minutes.

Wait a minute, Hendricks.

You can't expect us to pull a job without being told anything about it.

Randal, you've been told everything you need to know.

Each of you will be equipped with one of these.

And with this unit I'll guide you through every step of the operation.

If you remember everything Maureen and I have taught you...

you'll come through with flying colors...

and the ten thousand dollars I promised each of you.

And that goes for you, too, Taylor.

Are you with us?

I'm with you.

Funny. I thought you'd say that.

All right, let's move out.

Don't go.

Get out of this, Phil. Get out of it while you can.

What about you?

I've no place to go.

It doesn't matter. But you...

HENDRICKS: Are you two joining us?

STEVE: Yeah. Sure.

Mr. Goldman, I'm with the Pentagon Security Chief now, sir.

He assures us that he can handle any emergency.

I'm sure he can.

But I'm going to be there anyway.

HENDRICKS: We'll only be an hour so just park it over there and leave the keys in the ignition.

We're gonna get picked up looking like this.

Why? We’ve just been invited to a very special affair.

The Annual Halloween Charity Ball.

Annual Halloween Charity Ball?

Mr. Hendricks, if we're stealing money from charity, you can count me out.

I'm touched, Curtis.

But we're only staying a little while.

We're on our way to the basement.

Trick or Treat for the Children's Fund.

Well, thank you. You're very generous.

HENDRICKS: The pleasure was all mine.

The main party is in the ballroom to the right.

HENDRICKS: Our target, gentlemen, is the O.S.I. Building.

O.S.I.? Isn't that a government building?

HENDRICKS: So?

But you said we were after securities and bonds that one of your partners had stolen.

HENDRICKS: Let's say I don't always tell the truth.

This door leads directly to the basement.

There's a tunnel that runs under the street connecting various government buildings.

Luckily for us, it runs right along side this building.

How do we get into the tunnel?

We've done a little preparatory work.

Brady will lead the way.

What about you?

Dracula will stay here with the Princess.

HENDRICKS: Move!

(SOFT JAZZ PLAYS)

(PARTY CHATTER)

The tunnel you are in leads directly to the O.S.I. Building.

The passage you are in will take you to a trans-in.

Climb through it.

At the bottom of that 60 foot ladder you will find a ramp.

You know what to do.

Taylor.

I'm broadcasting on your frequency alone.

I don't want the others to hear this.

I'm listening.

Quite simply, I know who you are.

What do you mean? What are you talking about?

Now, don't bother trying to bluff me.

I may not know your name, but I know who you work for.

I've known almost from the instant Niles had his supposed accident.

What do you want?

Obviously, I want you to go on with the robbery.

I suppose you plan to continue it to a certain point and then signal for help.

But I'm warning. Don't.

I'm quite familiar with every alarm in that building...

and I will know instantly if one goes off.

If one is tripped for any reason whatsoever...

the Princess will sleep for a hundred years.

Do you understand?

I understand.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

HENDRICKS: You will come to an intersecting corridor.

The floor of it is a pressure alarm.

Use your ramp as you have been trained.

You wouldn't want to leave me, would you, Maureen?

You're my insurance.

HENDRICKS: You are now approaching the second intersection.

The floor is another pressure alarm.

Cross it hand over hand.

You should be coming to the end of the tunnel.

Taylor, this is where you perform your specialty.

The elevator will not respond unless you hit your mark.

The entire floor...

is an extremely sensitive pressure alarm.

The dart must not fall to the floor.

Do you understand, Taylor?

But if you succeed...

the alarm will be deactivated.

You have got to hit the breaker on the box.

Now listen carefully.

Randal, you will go to the first floor.

The rest of you will go to the third floor.

That is where our target is.

It's an office belonging to a gentleman...

named Oscar Goldman.

This is Goldman. Report.

Mr. Goldman, Interior Stations 1, 2 and 3 report no unusual activity.

All outside stations are quiet and secure.

Acknowledged.

Report anything out of the ordinary, no matter how trivial. Over.

Randal...

there are two guards on duty...

who move from the first to the third floor.

You will stop them.

HENDRICKS: Brady, what is your status?

We're on the third floor.

Move straight down the corridor.

It ends at Goldman's office.

The glass doors are to your left.

HENDRICKS: It's deceptively simple.

But in the lock is an alarm so sensitive...

that it will react to the most minute touch.

You are going to make a glass bubble, then cut it in half..

Place one half over the door lock...

then shoot foam into it to insulate the alarm contacts.

Jacobs, how would you describe me?

Sir?

I mean, would you consider me logical, critical?

The type of person that only deaths in facts?

Uh, well, yes.

I suppose I would, sir.

So would I.

Then why am I getting this sickening feeling that something is very, very wrong?

Randal...

in a few seconds both those guards are going to enter a guard station.

Now, that's the only time both men are in the same place.

You have to skate up to speed...

then coast in a crouch past the windows...

and when you reach the doorway...

shoot.

And hold your breath when you do...

or the nerve agent in your pistol will put you to sleep.

Go!

(GUN POPS SOFTLY)

HENDRICKS: Put the glass tube over the lock.

Now pour the foam into the tube.

It will deactivate the alarm.

BRADY: We're in.

HENDRICKS: Good.

Behind the picture in the wet bar is a safe.

Normally it would take an experienced cracksman hours to open it.

You three will do it in seconds because the safe will do all the work.

Taylor?

While Brady gets ready, you smash in the wall around the safe.

HENDRICKS: The vacuum tube running from the safe...

is impervious to any tool...

but not to the solvent in your kit.

Brady.

Cut that tube and add the section you're canying.

Taylor...

this safe has all the usual safety devices...

and one more.

In case of nuclear attack...

the contents would automatically be sent to the basement for later retrieval.

HENDRICKS: As soon as Brady has done his work...

convince the safe that there is a nuclear attack.

The torch burns at 2,000 degrees...

more than enough to do the job.

(METAL CREAKING)

(AIR HISSES)

BRADY: It worked. It worked.

HENDRICKS: Taylor, I want you to know...

I will not consider this operation a success until those papers are in my hands.

Have you got that?

I understand.

I'm happy to hear that. Go.

BRADY: Taylor, move it!

(BUZZER)

But how?

Callahan can't beep me unless she's at her...

At her desk!

Attention all stations. This is a Priority One.

Return to base. Repeat. Return to base on the double.

Come on, let's get out of here.

But where? Where are we going?

The O.S.I. office.

(TIRES SCREECH)

All of you exit the via the main lobby. We'll meet you there.

The lobby? Won't that set off the alarm?

Of course.

And Mr. Goldman will come to lock the barn door...

long after the horse is winging his way to South America.

Over and out.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(TIRES SCREECH)

All right, Hendricks, I kept my end of the bargain.

And I kept mine. The princess is safe.

You, however, are a different story.

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(LOUD POP, AIR HISS)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)

Round them up!

Just looking back at my life of the last couple of years.

You talk like it's over.

Look, I'm not kidding myself.

Mr. Goldman told me I'm going to face charges.

Well, there's going to be a court hearing, that's all.

There are extenuating circumstances, dozens of them.

And I'll be there to read them off.

Thanks for trying to cheer me up.

You mean, I'm not making it?

On a scale of one to ten...

I'd say you hit about a three.

Well, I do know a place where the music is soft...

and the food is good.

The conversation makes allowance for the mood you're in.

You just hit six and still climbing.

Well, then after dinner there's a short walk along the beach...

and you'd be amazed at the magic a few stars shining on the water can perform.

I do believe. I do.

I believe anything you say, Steve.

Well, everything is going to be all right, believe me.
