Original subtitles

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 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 in 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 autom man 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 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

Automan that's

[Music]

me that's the last of the automatic

rifles ammo PL SE all wir good come on

give us a hand here

[Music]

hold it

di free

Co I hope you two brother officers can

explain why you're loading police

weapons into that truck Cy wait

I can explain come on Lyman out of the

truck hands out in front nice and

[Music]

[Music]

slow ah the guy's dead what are we going

to do now we're going to cover our

tracks

okay okay now let me see if I got this

straight there were three

guys you only saw the face on one and

that was Frank Cooney is that right it's

like I told you lieutenant me and Co

went over to question Cooney two guys

came up from behind us hit us with

chloroform and there you were you're

unconscious the rest of the time yes

sir Captain wants to see

you okay guys that'll be all if we need

anything else we get in touch with you

thanks

lie can we talk I'm not now

long I think you know Lieutenant

Whitaker of internal affairs yes sir

we've had the

pleasure

I'll uh I'll get right to the point I'm

taking you off the Cooney

investigation sir right at this time I

think it would be a mistake I'm sure

we're all very interested in what you

think Lieutenant but the fact is it's an

internal Affair as matter well that

remains to be established doesn't

it what are we going to establish it

with the testimony of those two officers

Lyman and Co that's all we've got Jack

all right now going look just for the

sake of argument suppose those two men

are lies all the more reason to handle

it through

IAD you want to you got

it is he always so

pleasant can uh we talk now what's on

your mind it's about Frank Cooney oh oh

tell lieutenant what's his name boy just

took me off the case he can't do that

well he did

Lieutenant

Frank Cooney and I were classmates at

the police academy he was a a good buddy

of

mine we wound up in different units so

we haven't seen each other for a while

but he was a good cop I can't believe

that he'd be involved in that

Heist a little late for a character

witness but that's not

all a couple of weeks ago Cooney came by

the computer room and asked me for some

help yeah what kind of help at first he

asked me to run up some data for him off

the record it all seemed like pretty

routine stuff inventories Duty rosters

things like that so what's the problem

the other day he came by and asked for

the stock inventory and duty roster for

the Armory Ah that's a

problem well you better tell Whitaker

immediately that's a guy you don't want

to cross he's level to be our next da I

just know Frank Cooney was no crook

his family loses everything if he gets

pinned for this

thing what would you do if you were

me would you sell out your

buddy well I can't tell you what to

do I know I'd be very careful about

going by the book If you don't tell

Whitaker he can nail you for withholding

evidence and he'd do it

too to answer your question

no

no I'd never run out on a

friend

thanks

W don't forget you are my

[Music]

[Applause]

friend

greetings Walter hi Oto have you had a

chance to go through that data that I

fed you yes and I've also been

monitoring police Transmissions Frank

Cooney was a friend of yours wasn't he

we went through the academy together and

now you believe your friend is innocent

of the allegations against him even

though the evidence points to the

contrary exactly then what was he doing

at the Armory last

night following up on a personal

investigation of some kind only problem

is Captain Boyds handed the whole case

over to Internal Affairs getting in the

way of IAD is like laying down in front

of a steamroller Walter in a case such

as this where the investigators are

investigated who investigates the

investigators what does that mean well

I'm not sure but it's rather poetic

don't you

[Music]

think

Walter did you realize that

statistically the silver Corvette is

second only to the black Porsche in

terms of owners with Macho

Hang-Ups they have a statistic on that

they do

[Music]

now lyman's getting out of the car

and there's

Co well what say shall We join them

Capital idea Watson I thought you were

[Music]

generator she's she's broke what am I

going to do I got to say on some 5

minutes I got no special offense what's

the sence Walter I have nothing on my

program on it oh uh well it's kind of

hard to explain it's where people get

together and try to contact uh

disembodied

Spirits why do you need a special

effects machine everybody wants visual

too much for a medium working

along all these people get together for

the sole purpose of scaring themselves

today oh this kind of stuff is real

popular these days psychics fortune

tellers mediums you know they're even

using psychic detectives in police work

really do they use special effects

machines too Walter well here goes a big

flopa you stay here and keep an eye out

for the others I'm going to check on

that one this is very dangerous why are

you here we why are money

Doan you get your money after we turn

the arms over to our buyer that wasn't

our deal no it was killing a police

officer look I am not here to play games

our deal was to let you get the guns out

of the army now we did

that you owe us 50 Grand a

piece and if we don't start seeing it

soon you're going to have to start

sleeping with your eyes open now you are

obviously very confused see there's no

evidence connecting me with any of your

action and as of the moment that officer

died you ceased to be in my employ now I

own you so you will do exactly as you

were told and never again will you

threaten

much my own business don't

[Music]

you

[Music]

there's this computer guy from

headquarters nebiker I just ran into him

outside that's not a good sign

Raley no it isn't especially since those

two trigger happy cops you set up for me

just showed up here you're

complaining and that's it Nea must have

tailed them

here and that means he's put you guys

together I assume you can handle

that Wy I think you may be in trouble

what for I don't know last time let get

in here on the

double right understand me come

on

these were recovered from Frank Cooney's

personal effects among them is a stock

report from the police

Armory did you recognize them yes sir

did you or did you not provide officer

Cooney with this

information I did Sir you mean you ran

classified police material without a

proper

clearance sir usually the guys need

their information in a hurry sometimes

it takes so long to get clearance except

in this case the material you ran was

directly related to this investigation

and Frank Cooney is a prime suspect

Frank Cooney was an honest cop suppose

you tell us just exactly what you were

doing at that club last night I followed

Lyman and Co there I was doing a little

snooping on my own you were what I mean

were you aware that this case has been

turned over to Internal Affairs yes sir

but I thought officer

NE

as of now you are officially a suspect

in this

investigation under the circumstances

I'm going to have to ask for an

indefinite

[Music]

suspension I'm sorry

[Music]

kid

[Music]

phen records interviews

bookings there's got to be

something not now cursor I'm right in

the middle of some important

data hello Walter I thought you might be

interested I've been doing some research

in the use of psychic detectives in

police work Otto I'm kind of busy and a

fascinating field mind reading telepathy

psychokinesis all Child's Play really

watch this

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

cursor huh well that's uh that's very

nice Otto uh but I really don't have

time for party games I found what I've

been looking for oh yes I dug that up

through a friendly little word processor

I know over on Lieutenant Whitaker's

personal staff you think it's

significant significant it tells me

exactly what my friend Frank Cooney was

investigating look at this Cohen Lyman

were under investigation by Whitaker

prior to the Armory robbery yes but

according to that the case was closed

but it doesn't say why it could have

been for insufficient evidence but the

important thing is that those cops had

already been in trouble before and for

some reason Whitaker didn't mention it

odd since it certainly does reflect on

their testimony Jack and the captain

have got to listen to me now see you

later Otto oh and uh thank that little

word processor for me and do me a favor

stay out of trouble will

you I agree he's going to battle with

about as much chance as general kuster

the important thing is Walter needs my

help I can't let him face those people

alone in fact why not give him some

federal help a special New Branch that

deals with precisely what we came here

to talk to him about curser psychic

investigations of course he won't like

it he never likes it when I go off by

myself but it always works out doesn't

it that's your opinion get over here I

need something to wear that says

[Music]

Washington a Fed psychic that's all we

need around here the term is psychic

investigator somehow I don't connect you

with this kind of work weren't you in

computers or something that was before I

was reassigned to this new detail it's

quite the rage in

Washington sounds like hogwash to

me

w-e I've got some information on

Lieutenant Wier I need to see the

captain or Jack right away Wally would

you give it up are you're making a fool

of yourself besides no one can see you

right now they're all in the captain's

office with some guy from Washington

who's going to help solve the Armory

case what guy from Washington I don't

know I was away from my desk he didn't

even have an appointment but he must a

big shot they rushed him right in this

is his

card Agent Man justice department office

of special psychic investigation

Washington

DC oh my God those guns could be

anywhere in the world by now thank you

lieutenant you know we've heard a lot

about you back in DC we're keeping an

eye on you a very close eye

W I'm afraid that my commitments are

right here for the time being I'm making

a stab at da as a matter of fact we're

kicking off the campaign this afternoon

with a um tennis tournament at the

Country Club look this has gone far

enough I'm going in there right now I

not for your own good I am not letting

you near

there yes sir we're on our way to the

party roxan yes sir you are going to

stay here until they're gone and then

you won't get into any more trouble than

you're already

in I'll admit when they first asked me

to enter this new field I was skeptical

like you Captain what Chang is your mind

some of our early experiments in fact

I'll demonstrate a few of our techniques

at the party this I got to see yeah well

I'll miss that action if you don't mind

I'll see you later all

right coming roxan well I was just

organizing your speech and I had to lock

up a few things um I'll be along right

away mol not go won't be a party without

you

you even you're going to the party and

you're calling him Malcolm the guy

that's trying to bury me Wally I'm sorry

the two of you don't get along over this

one case but Malcolm's a nice guy even

the captain says he'll make a great da

oh yeah I can see that he'll get his man

every time guilty or not I have to go

Wally I'm sorry look try to pull

yourself together things have got to get

[Music]

better

[Music]

[Music]

we are not only only here to have a good

time but to elect the next and greatest

district attorney in the history of Los

Angeles be generous in your

contributions you can drop a grand and a

kitty on the way down to the showers she

said before you keep this up you're

going to be 100% by Nightfall that is

the

plan your game's looking pretty sharp

old stick I got a lot of practice when I

was a kid I can take

you that sounds pretty heavy do I sense

a chance here to help the old campaign

coffers now to tell you the truth if we

play I'm afraid we'll only be helping my

campaign coffers I'm thinking of running

myself not for da no but

president it's a dad's dream but that's

years down the line still you can't get

started raising money too soon what

should we make it I've been playing for

a thousand a game but I warn you I'm up

25 what say we play for the chest one

set one game after all you have other

guests who are anxious to get a shot at

you

one game for

$25,000 you're on you're

great get out of your warm-ups will uh

volley till you're ready I'm always

ready one game $25,000 and you're not

going to warm up is it warm as I get uh

look either you're here to line my

pockets or you know something I don't

know who do you think you are John

mackenro I could play like macroe

although with the Mixed Company I'm

afraid the language might get

abusive man you sirve thank you I will

by the way I've been watching your game

Malcolm good serve good volley but uh

your service return could use a little

polish I was second in the state in

college you don't get there with a weak

[Music]

return

15

love B stop

dead how' you do

that back spin move in a few steps I'll

take a little off I wouldn't get cocky

after one lucky

serve right you are just like an

investigation just because you get lucky

one day doesn't mean you'll be just as

lucky the next for example uh

discovering that Co and Lyman were

already under investigation by your

apartment before the Armory robbery was

a shot in the

[Music]

[Applause]

dark what did you say 30

[Music]

love yeah just what are you up to man

what's going on here huh is this tennis

or

janery well I can only speak for my half

of the game it's tennis 40 love to be

exact es chanary someone in your

department seems to have erased any

trace of your earlier investigation into

those two offices and how could you know

about it well computers are fallible

just like people that's why they always

have backup memories backup memory in

case of accidental eraser whoever wiped

out that file on Cohen Lyman didn't know

enough about how computers function now

you're ready to play this match serve

it's worth

$25,000 I have nothing to hide man if

you did see a file which I will admit

did exist at one time then you also know

it was marked closed for a very good

reason such as they've been set up

probably by Frank Cooney who got himself

killed by mixing with slime I didn't

bring up a false accusation cuz they

didn't want to see two innocent men

framed by one crooked cop now go ahead

and serve I don't think I'd go so far as

to swear to their innocence Whitaker

Coen Lyman just tried to build me a new

[Music]

face

[Music]

hey in that's game

Lieutenant but you keep your money

you'll be needing it all I want is a

couple of

answers

I want the racket what kind of racket is

that why it's a regulation Auto racket

of

[Music]

course it's true I did have those two

men under investigation and I did give

the appearance of closing the matter but

it was only to get their guard down what

about Raleigh Dumont he's got priors on

this kind of thing he he happens to have

been cooperating with my department by

pretending to be a buyer with his

background I thought we could pull it

off till you interfered nebish and

scared them all off you see nebish I

told you there was an

explanation you have interfered with my

investigation for the Last

Time Captain I intend to file formal

criminal charges against this man excuse

me

[Music]

I suppose you think I beat myself up no

Wally I'm sure some of Co and lyman's

friends in the department did exactly

what you said they tried to avenge

fellow officers you were accusing of

crime maybe even

murder

so unless I can tie them directly to the

Armory robbery it's never going to be

anything more than my word against

theirs and you can't do that on a

suspension son and what Whitaker has

lined up for you is going to be like a

slap on the wrist compared to what I'm

going to have to do to

you thanks for all your

support if there's nothing else I'll run

along too ancient man you seem to have

Wally's ears why don't you pounce some

sense into his head oh I'll do the best

I

[Music]

can I thought that went pretty well you

thought that went pretty well I'm

forever banned from setting foot in the

department tomorrow I'm to be indicted

on criminal charges and marked for

extinction by some Elite Police hit

squad and you have the nerve to say you

think things went pretty well we're

upset we'll talk about it on the way

home it's all over Otto I've lost my job

my a girl my

reputation what else is there to lose

you still have

me yeah but even you can't save this one

I've been trying to figure the

connection between Whitaker and

dant you don't suppose Whitaker is a

gambler do you no I know he is this

afternoon he didn't hesitate to accept a

wager for

$25,000 two or three bad bets like that

could put you in a lot of trouble how

can we make him blow his cover when

attempting to break a chain Walter one

must Hammer at the weakest link

do you have any pictures of Frank Cooney

something we might build a hologram from

no I wait a

minute back at the Academy we had this

course in surveillance techniques and

Equipment you know how to use a camera

how to use a bug on our final Cooney

actually went on a drug stake

out he uh set up the deal and I shot

it the sound is even pretty good

how you doing man you talking to

me see anybody else standing here what

do you need unfortunately we couldn't

get the guy to show his face well we got

to see

Anyway come on I ain't got all night I

got that's enough I've got a programmed

all right

programmed what do you have in

mind an

illusion well hi fellas how's the old

fist feeling pretty sore huh shove off

nebish before I bust you for trespass I

just came down to warn you guys about

what nothing much just that Whitaker

plans to pin the whole thing on you that

is after he has you conveniently deep

sixed you must really be desperate kid

oh no see I have nothing to lose I'd

just rather put you in jail than fish

your corpses out of the channel you know

of course that he's reopened the

investigation into those burglaries you

guys were involved in before the Armory

robbery hey man we no we were cleared

only because it suited the Lieutenant's

purposes just like nailing to the wall

suits them
