this is the story of Walter

Nea doing what he likes best fighting

crime in the streets you see Walter's a

policeman unfortunately the chief

doesn't want Walder 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

otan 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 KH is playing tennis joh

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

like this we paid almost nothing for

those Surplus parts and that's exactly

what we got Henry accidents happen fine

people lost their lives Jared that's

unfortunate we're going to run tests on

those remaining parts Henry 3 days from

now the problems with this company

belong to the new owner not us now

you're not going to Red Flag a deal it

took a year to put together there have

been three accidents in the past 3

months I am not going to be responsible

for another preventable tragedy

Jarrett

I afraid my partner's become a bit of a

problem problems are the last thing you

can afford right now get this out to my

daughter in the afternoon mail I wish I

minute hello Ed this is Henry oh hello

business for a long long while but I

can't remember the last time I saw

something that had winner written all

over it like this thing does so uh what

is it they want to design a video game

based on the TV show

abene the soap

opera is that an idea whose time has

come or what well I don't know Norm I

think you're talking to the wrong guy

I'm much of a fan on that kind of thing

uh I've never even seen the show no

problem no problem I got 6 months of

videotape right here now you check this

out and you tell me if that isn't worth

money in the

bank

well I'm not going to promise anything

chance terrific wallet I lead him on the

way out byebye

programmed my arrival I did we were

going to work on some refinements of my

database oh that's right yeah I have

from uh UCLA sounds

wonderful H hello iate my office on the

no problem at all captain yeah I'll be

long these must be those criminology

tapes abalene what's that got to do with

crime well no sense wasting time

of

lonely of lonely heart much better than

a owner of a Broken

Heart Owner of a

Lonely I've got

him I hope I don't seem ungrateful eh

you are nothing short of a miracal

worker arranging that foreign bank loan

for us but believe me Henry you're doing

the right thing trying to sell a company

under a cloud is only going to make a

bad situation worse I wish Jared could

see it that way he wanted a stone wallet

until the deal was made the sooner you

get this behind you the

better as a matter of

fact we're going to go talk to Jared as

soon as we leave here once you both make

a clean breast of it to the authorities

you'll feel 1,000%

better well I'm glad someone doesn't

think I'm

crazy shall we

[Music]

hello

scandin I just want you to know your

partner won't be into work tomorrow you

got to make a detour by the morg you

killed him it was that I watch him blow

the sale of the company clear out of the

water now listen to me

carefully I want you to go through his

office he has the entire operation on a

disc I know I turned his office upside

down after he left tonight now the disc

was gone I assumed he took it with him

that disc gets in the wrong hands and

you're going to have one hell of a time

hanging off that loan I

arranged don't worry now you can tell

your friends that I'll pay them their

money just as soon as the sale goes

through I hope

so they're not the kind of people to

[Music]

disappoint oh yes sir I am doing that

right now I am putting Lieutenant Curtis

on the case yes sir we'll

do second call from the commissioner

every time some big high Mucky muck like

Henry inis gets murdered it's damned the

torpedo so we find out who did it neish

come on in what's up you ever hear of

Henry in us the Aerospace guy yeah his

about was found tonight in the downtown

alley might have been a mugging he was

missing his bill fold he was missing his

jewelry now I don't know if this figures

or not his secretary says that he was

very rattled today and she's never seen

him so upset any suspects no we did find

this appointment book in his briefcase

though want you to look at the last

entry there

cd2000 an abbreviation of some kind any

idea what it means isn't that what you

and your high- price hardware store are

for I'll get on it right away all right

family been

notified there's only a daughter we

haven't been able to contact her so we

better put a news lid on this thing

until we do all

right are you still working on that

appointment book entry oh yeah I keep

going in circles on it Wally I never

thought I'd say this but have you

thought about calling Automan I'm quite

capable of figuring out a simple brief

avation without running to a hologram

for

[Music]

[Music]

hell Walter you

called second opinion never hurts well

I'll leave you two to your sleuthing

bye-bye roxan have a good evening

gorgeous

[Music]

what was that all about I'm a new man

Walter and I owe it all to you and those

marvelous tapes the tapes on criminal

Behavior that's what you said though I

found it odd they were all set in a town

called

Abal soap opera Otto you watched the

wrong tapes not wrong right in fact for

the first time I've realized what's been

missing in my life what's been missing

lust Walter passion ruthlessness deceit

I'm missing the struggle for life's most

worthy goals power and romance what have

I done choruses of angels Midnight rendo

Burning desires yeah yeah Auto auto I

get the picture Walter I've been in your

world for close to 6 months and I still

haven't fallen in love you don't

understand you're a hologram you're not

even real neither are the people in soap

operas and they fall in love every 20

minutes I don't believe this

Walter you don't want people to think

I'm a wimp no one well but if you don't

mind uh I'd appreciate you directing

your energies toward cracking that code

that I fed into your memory bank that

was a breeze oh did you figure out what

CD means well I came up with three

possibilities one certificate of deposit

it's a financial instrument two Carnival

Dream a long shot in yesterday's fifth

race at Hollywood Park inis was

something of a horse player and the most

likely possibility Club Dian Isis he had

a credit card receed from that

establishment Auto you're terrific

that's a singles club on laners now what

what about that 2,000 military for 8:00

p.m. he spent 6 years in the Navy which

means he had an appointment at that bar

last night it may just pay to go down

there and ask some questions it's a good

thing I'm familiar with the case we can

go over the questions on Theo not in

your present State of Mind a singles

club full of eligible young women just

isn't the place for a inexperienced

young

hologram well I guess you're

right good luck Walter thanks AO I never

would have found that place without

you

you Dar righty couldn't have found that

place without me there's one thing I've

learned from abalin you don't take no

for an answer besides my program won't

allow me to stand by idly if there's

some way I can

help no cursor it has nothing to do with

the beautiful young women now res me up

something Chic but

unpretentious

this should drive them

face here yeah I guess I see once or

twice look it's real important he was

supposed to meet someone here last night

but he was murdered in root and I need

to know who he was meeting look I'm

really sorry to hear this um all I know

is the other times he was in here with

Ed sken and good customer do you know

where I could find him n sorry oh well

thanks uh excuse me uh Rachel

inis yes my name is Walter nebiker I'm a

police officer I think we're here for

the same reason

well why don't we let the gentleman

decide well it uh doesn't seem fair to

deprive either of

you how did you know about your father's

[Music]

appointment look sooner or later you're

going to have to start trusting

[Music]

somebody excuse me for one

[Music]

moment

your place or

mine excuse

[Music]

me what are you doing here I was doing

just fine until you interrupted next

time we really should have a little

signal worked out between us really

would save a lot of embarrassment warm I

don't believe

this where did she go where did who go

there she is come

on uh uh where are you going oh I'm I'm

I'm sorry but the smoke was really

getting to me well that's okay uh we can

talk

outside oh Rachel inis this is my

associate

Auto

hello uh

Walter is there a chorus of angels

singing right

[Music]

now I got a call from my father about

7:00 last night did he call you from

work yeah he was pretty upset he said

he'd made some serious misjudgments that

he was involved in a crime that could

have uh devastating consequences if he

couldn't stop it in time oh excuse

me I'm feeling rather strange Walter

probably interference from those power

lines

overhead did he say anything else that

he'd be coming to this bar later in the

evening and that he'd call me when he

got home only he never

called well we'll do everything we can

right AO rest assured we'll go to the

ends of the Earth if necessary we'll

overcome any obstacle if I have to climb

the highest mountain cross the deepest

River

AO we get the

idea thanks both of you good

[Music]

night here we go Edward M scanland

longtime operator for West Coast

organized crime family special ing in

gambling and lone sharking and what

would a reputable businessman like Enis

be doing meeting a man like that maybe

his partner can answer that

huh Lieutenant Curtis my wife Christine

how do you do hello Lieutenant now if

there's anything we can do to help

expedite your investigation just name it

for starter could you tell me if Henry

in his had any enemies I thought he was

the victim of Street crime well that

could be but right now we just don't

want to rule out any other

possibilities as far as I know he was

everybody's friend a colleague of mine

spoke to his daughter she seems to think

that her father might have been in some

sort of trouble something that uh he

couldn't handle Rachel always had an

active imagination so you wouldn't know

anything about that right well if he was

in some kind of trouble he never shared

it with me what about Ed scanland is

that a name I should know it's a name

your partner name I'm afraid I can't

help you there I don't recall his ever

mentioning

him what about you Mrs P sorry

lieutenant

is there anything else that either of

you would like to tell me just assure me

you'll find Henry's killer I

will good

day it wasn't your fault at all Willie

Joe it was those evil things that EJ was

saying about me but I couldn't convince

anyone else he was lying that's why I

took off from Memphis well it's all over

now willly Joe now I want aut man shh

what are you doing do you realize I've

been trying to reach you all morning

Walter would you please tell me what's

going on okay Willie Joe left the ranch

after he got blamed for Bonnie's nervous

breakdown but now he's come back only to

find his step brother EJ's in love with

both Bonnie and her half sister Ivonne

that's not what I meant aotto you've

gone absolutely mad no you're thinking

of Earl Willie Joe's long lost brother

now he is crazy demonstrated to

you why didn't you res up when I

accessed you I didn't realize you'd

called I called because Lieutenant Cur

has been asking for those profiles on

Henry's business associates the analysis

you were supposed to leave on my desk

this morning I'm sorry I forgot

Otto you're a computer you can't forget

I have felt rather out of phase of late

it seems every time I try to concentrate

on something my circuits get overloaded

by Rachel's face

Walter the simple fact is I think I'm in

love that's

ridiculous how can you be in love you're

an electronic

display you're a series of

commands and you were programmed to do

police work not to fall prey to human

weaknesses of course you're right I

can't possibly be feeling emotion I'm

I'm simply reacting to interesting

stimuli all right now look I'm going

back to work when I get there I want a

full update on the in investigation

cross indexed and summarized Yes

W

[Music]

and no more soap

operas it's falling apart scam I can see

it that Snoopy cop all but accused you

of innocent's murder and it's only a

matter of time before we're tied him

with that helicopter accident finding

one defective part is a long way from

proving a conspiracy you and your

foolproof schemes I should never have

taken that blood

money I don't ever want to hear you talk

like that again Powers 6 months ago this

company would have gone belly up my

friends hadn't bailed you

out I haven't forgotten well I hope you

haven't forgotten that the Barons are

coming over to celebrate buying the

company have the lawyers settled on a

price here are the figures

Worth the late honorable Homer

Trosper excuse

me what happened to you Walter I had a

runin with a couple of freelance

chiropractors what is this all about

about Rachel didn't want the company

sold until she found out what happened

to her father so I thought this might do

the trick and I wound up your account

well I thought sidekick might offend

you your father didn't send you anything

before he died did he I don't know what

you mean well he had a computer disc the

accountants need to finish completing

the inventory on her assets I don't know

anything about a disc he might have

mailed it but then you haven't had a

chance to check your mail why would my

father mail me something when he could

hand it to me

don't worry we have all the facts we

need I'm just trying to save

time you know the Rawlings on abene the

TV show they're modeled after my family

and what about that no good

EJ modeled after me you don't strike me

as being that ruthless only when I'm

going after something I

[Music]

want how much did you say you were

paying for this company what well

actually that's uh confidential now what

is it 30 million 40 I'd rather not

discuss it oh Mr Powers yes I don't know

what this gey has offered you for your

firm but uh I've just added 10% right

now see here this uh this transaction is

all but done it's a little late to

reopen the bidding 20% what I've just

improved his offer by 20% cash cash cash

do we talk or going let this Buzzard

steal your company well you have to

understand Mr tossers this is rather

sudden it'll take some time to study the

proposal I understand that take 15

minutes what's the matter with you you

look like someone just put starch in

your Bloomers I've never met such a rude

young man in all my days not even when

you were Toast of the Dallas Cowboys

well I never it's not what those

linebackers used to tell

me what are you doing I'm saving them

from financial disaster Walter yes sir

Mr B she must have been a hot little

number before the fire went

out Theodore let's go how about it Mr

Powers excuse me I'd like to confir with

my associates

sir yeah I got

you Kavin I just ran a computer check on

him says the guy's worth maybe 500 mil

and what are we waiting for I Got a

Feeling we can ask our price I don't

know it's all too easy I say we take

this Cowboy for all he's

worth darling Lieutenant Curtis is

[Music]

here what can I do for you lieutenant

well I thought you might be interested

in our progress on your partner's murder

investigation

couldn't this wait until tomorrow

traffic helicopter went down in

Greensboro North Carolina this morning

what does that have to do the same

mechanical failure as our police Chopper

only this time somebody traced the defec

of material to your company right here

Lieutenant I'm sorry but I can't help

you Mr Powers I'll be working late

tonight Police Headquarters if you think

of anything just call

me

listen I think I know where we can find

the answers to a lot of our questions

are you game well I I started off as

one well then let's

go what about Walter I think it'd be

easier for just the two of us to S the

away unnoticed where too my father's

Beach House Point

Doom I'll just leave Walter a

note cursor

[Music]

excuse me did you see that Mr Higgins

receives this it's quite important

certainly

[Music]

sir boy you really know how to travel in

style I like to think

so

[Music]

you

[Music]

[Music]

speed up come on faster faster

move

that car has been with us for

Miles do you think they're following us

well there's one way to find out hang

[Music]

on what happened where'd they

[Music]

go

it's my father's writing and it's

addressed to himself now be careful

don't touch the shiny Parts a disc's

memory is very

[Music]

sensitive

interesting what is it see this unit

designated Surplus the purchase price of

the assembly from the manufacturer in

the orient was

$1,640 but look what it was sold to the

aircraft company for under the

designation of me

37,000 well that's quite a markup

considering it's just middlemen selling

Surplus Goods I think the term is

highway

robbery wait a minute see this name

valir that's the name of the helicopter

that had the rotor gear go out now it's

beginning to make sense your father and

his partner must have been engaged in

the buying of surplus parts and selling

them as though they were new well that

must be the catastrophe dad was trying

to avert another accident like that

helicopter crash we better get this

information into the right hands I think

it might be advisable to wait for

officer nebiker he undoubtedly got my

note this is stanlin we had him for

about 5 miles and then that sports car

he was in took off like a bad out of

hell where did you lose him Pacific

Highway just a mile or so north of Tanga

Canyon

that's it they're headed for Henry's

beach house now I'll bring the papers

for Rachel to sign and I'll meet you

there all

right you are more beautiful than Ian is

she your ex no she's EJ's

cousin you're

crazy yes about

[Music]

you I'm a little bit a loss you see this

is the scene that's usually cut off by

the

commercial I was sure I was beginning to

mean something to you Rachel it would

never work they're from two different

worlds what are you

saying I'd only disappoint

you and I don't think I could stand to

see you

hurt I'm not interrupting anything am

I no hello Walter

we think we have a good idea why

Rachel's father was murdered what is it

yes I think we'd all like to

hear Mr scandin I presume I didn't buy

that good old boy routine for one minute

it cops both of you and unless I'm

mistaken You're The Man Behind Henry

inis murder not to mention the

conspiracy to sell second rate aircraft

Parts you're going to have a hard time

proving much of anything in the

condition I Leave

You

what do you want from

us all I want from you is your signature

on the sale of the company tomorrow then

why don't you let her go cuz I'm not a

fool that's

why

now why doesn't everybody get nice and

comfortable Mr Powers is on his way

[Music]

him I'll get on the radio to Lieutenant

Curtis chop her to headquarters send

backup units to the south of Malibu and

the same from my heart I hate to sound

like a soap oper but no matter what

happens I'll never forget you

[Music]

never

may we come in is there anything wrong

would we bring vintage champagne if

something was wrong no nebish for once

something is right the FAA has grounded

at least 90

helicopters and at least a dozen

airplanes based on the information you

found H think of the lives you saved I

didn't do it alone well it looks like

Powers turned to the Mob to get his

company a bailout yeah and after

scanland got the loan he put together a

scam to make sure that the mob got their

money back irange so they bought

literally tons of second rate parts and

sold them as new and the disc you found

on him is going to make the DA's work a

lot

easier Sweet Sound of success you know

where that comes

from hard work

look at nebish is here it's 10:30 at

night he's still working on his computer

stuff over there yeah what are you

working on son well uh it isn't really

very interesting a don't be modest
