this is the story of Walter

nebiker doing what he likes best

fighting crime in the streets you see

Walter's a policeman unfortunately the

chief doesn't want Walter on the streets

Captain get back to your cage

boy now so Walter must fight crime in

his own way in the computer room that's

where he's an expert fortunately for me

Walter's Advanced knowledge of

electronics led him to experiment with

what is called a hologram that's a very

fancy word for a three-dimensional

picture that when perfected can be made

to look real sound real as a matter of

fact given enough power it can even be

made to feel

real that's kind of what got me into

this

[Music]

world

my name is

Automan you must be Walter

Nea how did you know that it's on the

programming you fed into my system I

must say Walter you're very good very

good

indeed I look

wonderful if you do say so yourself well

you programmed me to be honest but tell

me why did you call me Automan it means

that you're the world's first truly

automatic man you can do anything

because you're not real oh but I am I'm

as real as you are just different and

thanks to you perfect nobody's perfect

Automan that's not true Walter you've

programmed me to observe other people

and do whatever they can do as well as

they can do it Jimmy con is playing

tennis John Travolta dancing in fact on

a scale of 1 to 10 think of me as an

11 I've created a

monster no what Walter really created

was a wonderful Force for

good

Automan that's

me and we'll take it the other way with

115 to play that's 115 and 105 Lakers on

top okay Cooper looking for Paxton yo-yo

Samy Colton on the outside take it

inside Valentine into now double team

Thomas rejects the ball on the outside

here's a high jumper rejected again and

we'll take it back once again and wait a

minute

ain't that hot shot hurt a defense hey

he got trapped on the switch how can a

guy 6'2 supposed to stop a guy

610 oh swell look at the spot this guy

picks to break

down7 I better give him a

[Music]

hand

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

a now stick around neish maybe you and

your pile of junk can make yourselves

useful hello Jack what's up you're

sounding pretty important it

is somebody hijacked close to a ton of

paper that the government uses to print

money A man was killed in the process

you will be our link with the FBI and

the treasury boys well they abandoned a

car at least that's a start well that's

the problem they made it hard to trace

no license engine ID numbers are

practically scratched off maybe the

computer could read it are you trying to

say that it has better eyes than we do

actually sir yes I could try what they

call Electronic image enhancement to

bring out the numbers why don't you get

right on a

wall the C of it is usually the paper

that's the giveaway this stuff ever gets

into circulation is going to be hard to

spot which means that we're going to

have to make sure that it never gets

into

[Music]

circulation

[Applause]

[Music]

what do you think you're

doing just absorbing some of those old

gangster films you have on tape

thoroughly engrossing I asked you to

file my tapes not stand around here and

waste time it wasn't recreational Walter

I thought I might gain some insights in

solving that hijacking case Auto auto

you have to understand time have changed

criminals just don't use guns anymore

they they have much more dangerous

weapons like college degrees and

computers now but crime fighter have

more sophisticated weapons now too like

what like

me I've got the engine ID for you

lieutenant there it is Lieutenant that's

incredible yeah well it just took the

computer filling in the gaps and the

visual data in those photographs you

match this against registration yeah the

name's phony and the address doesn't

exist this is right back on Square One

not completely I ran that ID number on a

cross check with our unsolved case File

turns out that the same car was used in

a Gangland murder of a man named laru

Laro yeah about 5 months

ago W do you know what you've done not

yet do you yes I do you've told us who

was behind that hijacking I did yeah you

did laru was a contender for the number

two spot and the biggest mob in this

state his rival was a guy with the name

of Brock Rudy Brock when the Rue wound

up murdered execution style there wasn't

much doubt that Brock gave the orders

but we couldn't prove it thank you

w what do you do now find Brock I wish

it was that easy he's got himself

covered nine ways against the middle I'd

be lucky to get to his Gophers you

wouldn't by any chance uh want some help

out there well you want a help you just

stay here and continue to play this

keyboard like van cin all

right now let's see what we can do to

shake

[Music]

rocket you promise me yellow roses

that's what I expect to see here on

Sunday right I don't want any excuses Mr

Rell I want roses yellow long stem thank

you tell you Kevin I known planning a

wedding was got to be this difficult I

never would have taken the leap well

maybe you would have been better off

with less of a production oh no I'm

sorry Kevin but if you're lucky enough

to marry the daughter of a former

Congressman you got to do better than

cuts and an accordion player at least

you won't have any trouble paying for

it well let's not get cocky now what do

you

say all that money still has to be

printed press starts rolling tonight by

Sunday llo figures on having 20 million

maybe more yeah you tell him not to rush

we're not unloading rubbish

[Music]

here

hello Walter I've been expecting your

call you have I'm beginning to know as

much about your program as you know

about mine that's ridiculous I don't

have a program but you do it's what

tells you to be loyal ambitious

persevering inquisitive I believe you

call it a

personality next thing you know you'll

be psychoanalyzing me I already have

remind me to show you the file

fascinating you and I have a lot in

common neither of us will ever be

content processing data well I'd be a

liar if I told you that I wasn't giving

this hijacking case some thought any

ideas yet well we now know who was

behind it a man named Brock if there was

a way we could convince him that there

was someone new in town that was

offering more money for the counter than

anyone else they might come out into the

open along with the counterfeit

brilliant Walter we'll go under cover

make ourselves conspicuous in the right

circles and Brock will come to us now

wait a minute I never said we I can use

those detective movies to create the

demeanor of a master criminal I'll call

myself Mr Auto I think I may have made a

mistake showing you those films my

conclusions are based on mathematical

logic and the strictest application of

police science not old movies do you

really think it'll work it worked for

Marlin Brando and The Godfather didn't

it I'll call up Brock's files on the

computer and get a rundown of each of

his operations then we'll go after them

one at a time with your help uh I think

I can make things Mighty uncomfortable

for him our first priority is to get his

attention correction Walter our first

priority is to give Mr AO the proper

look

[Music]

cursor of course if you don't like uh

Malon Brando I could always give you a

Humphrey

Bogard hang on

[Music]

Walter is this Brock's headquarters

according to the police computer it's

one of his subsidiaries his steeled

order car ring you're not a afraid are

you Walter me are you kidding I've Got

The Godfather with me come

[Music]

on you had a better shot with the 107

combination we're looking for a man

named

Zach you got an appointment no I hope

you brought sleeping bag no but I did

bring a lot of cash I got $10 a ball

against a th000 that says you find Zach

before I miss a

shot what shot any

shot let me see if I got this

the

[Music]

movie you want to talk to me if you're

the man who turns exotic cars into cold

cash you go run an ad what's your

turnaround

time how long does it take Brock to fill

your orders well that depends on the car

what if I were to promise you any car

you order in under 10 minutes day or

night you still be working for

Brock 10 minutes that's a that's a good

one

Immortal just don't forget your own

limitations well you may be smart but

dangerous these people really are for

starters show a little confidence Walter

Lieutenant Curtis it's one of the most

profitable gambling casinos this side of

Las Vegas Brock's its sole owner doesn't

look like a casino from here that's the

whole idea I just hope we can Bluff our

operations to La I take what I want and

you and your friend here can fight it

cab Cash in their chips we don't want to

keep the gentleman

waiting I think we did very well thought

easily what choice did they have they

couldn't figure out how Cura was rigging

the wheel I thought it was a nice touch

now so what do we do next the next move

is brocks right here we'll be fine cabie

whatever this Mr uto did at the roulette

wheel the thing didn't quit paying off

it kept on winning yeah but that wheel

is rig Kevin uh not last night it wasn't

at least not in our favor house paid off

over 200,000 before L closed the

involved with some people people some

very dangerous

people is that

so Rudy she was wrong wasn't she listen

accusation thrown at him at one time or

another that's that's that's

business and it isn't

true well what do you

think I think I'm about to marry the

most wonderful man in the world

Walter when are you going to learn you

can't solve crimes with a hologram 50

years ago they would have said that

about the

microscope of all in joints and all the

two bit towns in the world she had to

walk into

mine I ought to walk into the captain's

office right now and tell him what's

going on

no all right I'll give you 48 hours to

make this pay off then I go to the

captain when I was first told your

payments hadn't been made I thought

there was some mistake seems I was wrong

Nelson is a very simple explanation uh

I've been experiencing a temporary cash

flow problem that's with your Casino

closed down I don't doubt it but with

the wedding and all you know you can

imagine how difficult it is for me to

stay on top of business not your

business I'm M about its mind I simply

will not tolerate an interruption in our

Arrangements I want my money okay okay

just just give me a week got till

Sunday well uh okay you got it I'll just

uh get the money out of my own pocket

giving you a computer history so that

you would have legitimacy as a criminal

I just don't know about that outfit it's

a little behind the times good good I

made my home base

control yeah yeah all right all right so

bonus for signing on not to mention our

medical and dental plan well you must

really hate Brock let's just say I like

to see a grown man cry well um when

won't be able to tell Brock from a

nonprofit

[Music]

organization what happened to the little

guy who cares we got Mr

precedes you I find it best not to

believe everything I hear humility it's

a rare quality these days I like you

Trotter to begin with let me offer my

congratulations you've done more to

Rattle Rudolph Brock's cage in a week

than any 20 men could have accomplished

in a year I don't get it Brock works for

you doesn't he no it doesn't mean I

respect him or even like him just

between us I lo the man I pour you some

wine no thank

you Brock killed a man in Cold

Blood man I thought very highly of

someone who should be where Brock is now

well if I might pose an obvious question

why do you put up with a man you hold in

such contempt expedience I need him

there hasn't been anyone strong enough

to give Brock a run for his money let

alone take his place that is until

now until

you you didn't bring us here to

congratulate us you're right Walter

unless my instincts are Wolly misguided

neither you nor Brock intend to make

good on the bargain you struck you're

both too smart but only one of you is

going to come out of win

if it's

you and as far as I'm concerned you can

take over for Brock tomorrow Lock Stock

and

Barrel won't Brock have something to say

about

that there's enough information in this

envelope to put Brock away for a very

long time if you get the better of him

I'll give it to you you can do with it

what you like should he get the better

of me then you'll be

dead you still want us to keep your cop

guards is there any word on this

government agent who used this fancy new

stun gun out

Brock no no no that's typical the feds
