The Six Million Dollar Man (1974) s01e10 Episode Script
The Last of the Fourth of Julys
1 (OMINOUS MUSIC) (DEVICE BEEPING) Blue Dolphin this is Blue Dolphin.
The rainbow ends at four fathoms.
Am suspect, get this first time, no repeat.
Laser ready, Quail picking up contact.
Something top level happening in July.
You must stop it or many will die! Hurry! Hurry! How much information did the agent get out? We don't know.
What do you mean you don't know? He bit into a cyanide capsule before we could get to him.
That's too bad too very bad.
Does that mean that you're going to call the attack off? Not go through with it? Nothing will change.
Quail suppose he told them about our plan? It's a calculated risk, Mr.
Ives.
You came to me with your problem.
You wanted me to deliver the absolute weapon, deadly, silent and accurate to a distance of 3,000 miles.
Yes, without a trace of how it operates or who pulled the trigger.
And I delivered that weapon.
But how I deal with the risks involved is no concern of yours just as it is no concern of mine as to how you deal with your political opponents.
You did make the deposit? Oh, yes, as agreed.
Ten million in gold.
In a Swiss bank.
The account number will be handed over to you after the assignment is completed.
I'm sure it will.
Precisely.
So then you and I are on the line for big stakes, aren't we, Mr.
Ives? Double security at all checkpoints from now until the final countdown.
Nobody comes in or goes out, nobody.
Yes, Mr.
Ives, you have no reason to worry.
Your little spectacular will go off exactly as planned.
Exactly on schedule.
July the 4th, 6:00 PM to the second.
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 off.
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.
We can rebuild him.
We have the technology.
We can make him better than he was.
Better, stronger, faster.
(MAIN TITLE THEME) AGENT:Am suspect, get this first time, no repeat.
Laser ready, Quail picking up contact, something top level happening in July.
You must stop it or many will die! Hurry! Hurry! Many will die.
Obviously one already has.
And he was our last chance.
It's been two years, Steve.
That's how long we've been trying to track down this man Quail.
Black market arms, gold smuggling, you name it, he's at the top of it.
And the rainbow ends at four fathoms? No, that's a special code.
The month of July is the fourth fathom.
Balsam was the first of our men who was able to find out who Quail is and tip us off when he plans to strike again.
But, strike at what? OSCAR: I don't know.
Quail is there.
The plan is there.
The date in July and why the laser? The information's all there, Steve.
Well, I'm sure it is.
Inside the head of a dead man.
Everything you want to know about a man named Quail a man nobody's ever seen before.
There's a time bomb hanging over our heads and Quail has already lit the fuse.
Well, Oscar, call in the Army, the International Police.
Impossible.
His base is in a neutral country.
We've tried through diplomatic channels but we haven't been successful so far.
All right.
What's the odds? Not too good.
Even with special training and all the help that we can give you you're still on your own against Quail and his organization.
I don't know what your chances are, Steve But I do know this.
You've got to break through and stop Quail.
OSCAR: The point of landing, Steve, will be near a fjord along this stretch of beach at the northern tip of Norway.
How do I get in, by boat or a parachute drop? Submarine.
Submarine? OSCAR: Submarine.
Quail has a radar net that picks up anything that moves above the surface along a ten mile radius.
And then I swim in.
No, we're gonna shoot you out in a torpedo.
This industrial facility, in reality, conceals an underground heavy water plant.
When you get there, you'll find a complicated system of pipelines.
They feed directly underground into the mountain to power the reactor for the laser.
Where did you get all this information? Balsam transmitted it to us in an earlier message.
Now here is a 30-foot high fence that rings the base of the entire mountain.
Electrified.
You think I have a chance, Oscar? Depends on how you make it through the training program, Steve.
JOE: All right, Austin! Ready? Go! Come on, pick 'em up! Pick 'em up! Come on, pick 'em up.
Austin! Pick 'em up! JOE: Get 'em up off the ground! Get 'em up! Up, up, up! (BIONIC SOUND EFFECT) Wonderful, Austin, that's just wonderful.
Your real arm just hit the top of the fence.
JOE: If that had been for real, we'd be going to your funeral.
Maybe I should wire it! All right, take another run.
Let's see if you can stay alive this time.
Come on! Joe, easy.
I wouldn't talk to him like that if I were you.
Look, Mr.
Goldman, I don't care if he can pick me up and throw me over that fence I only know one way to do my job.
All right, Austin! Go! Move it up, up! Pick 'em up, up, up, up! Get it above the ground! (BIONIC SOUND EFFECT) Great! That's great! Don't look too happy.
He didn't clear it by that much.
JOE: Ready for decompression! Ready when you are, Coach.
All right.
I'm gonna start the pressure now.
Simulate the firing pressure.
(AIR HISSING) How is it in there? Normal so far.
All right, Austin, I'm gonna alter the pressure.
You'll be going up that fjord at 20 fathoms.
All right, how is it now? (GASPING) Austin? I can't breathe! Heavy pressure against my body! Blow the hatch! Wait a minute! Wait until the pressure comes down! (AIR HISSING) (GASPING) Come on, Joe! 60! 50! Joe, come on! I said, hold it! 40! 20! 10! All right! Get him out! Come on! Open that up! Open the door! (GASPING) It felt like I was getting the bends.
I'm gonna have to do something about that pressure.
I'd appreciate that, Sergeant.
Too fast, Austin, too fast! Slow it down! Not so strong on the bionic thrust! (BOMB WHISTLES) See? You'd wind up hooking nothing but air.
JOE: Let the momentum build up for you.
Play it out slow slow! Then let it go! JOE: Try it again.
Easy.
JOE: Easy.
(BOMB WHISTLES) Like that, Coach? JOE: Yeah, like that.
Let's do it again.
OSCAR: I'm afraid we can't, Joe.
Time's run out on our little training program.
Tomorrow is the first of July.
(OMINOUS MUSIC) (DIVE ALARM SOUNDS) (SONAR PINGS) CAPTAIN: Target dead ahead.
MAN: Target dead ahead.
CAPTAIN: Range 12 miles.
MAN: Range 12 miles.
Tide high at 5.

Tide high, 5.

Three to six westerly swells.
Three to six westerly swells.
(SONAR PINGS) Your oxygen tank and breather unit are all packed for you for the swim back.
Just relax, Austin.
Let the boys here guide that fish right up onto the beach.
You'll be on your own.
I won't be there to bail you out.
Try to bring the equipment back and, uh, one more thing.
Good luck, sir.
Thanks, Joe.
CAPTAIN: Target dead ahead at ten miles.
MAN: Target dead ahead, ten miles.
Well, see you, Oscar.
Steve, if there's any trouble-- I mean, if you should fall into their hands try not to reveal your strength.
You may need it for the finish.
I understand.
Now whatâs the bad news? All right, Sergeant.
Ready for firing.
Range, ten miles.
Range, ten miles.
Bearing 074 degrees.
MAN: Bearing 074 degrees.
Fire! (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (SONAR PINGS) Sonar reports torpedo surfacing, sir.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: 11:15, area clear, no intruders.
11:15, area clear, no intruders.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT) (ELECTRICITY BUZZING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (BRIEF ELECTRIC BUZZ) (ALARM BEEPING) (ALARM BEEPING) FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: We are reporting radioactivity at top side level.
Sir? Yes, what is it, Root? I'm not quite sure.
I'm getting a radioactive reading here on the screen from just outside the mountain.
That couldn't be.
Everything we have is neutralized, contained.
Well, it's coming from inside the fence about the third level where the pipes feed in.
FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: We are reporting radioactivity at top side level.
It doesn't make sense.
It makes sense if it was an air drop.
An explosive device could be radioactive.
We are reporting radioactivity at topside level.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: Radioactivity is now present at Level 3.
Dispatch a security unit there immediately! Security patrol, security patrol.
Investigate Level 3, investigate Level 3.
Urgent! (MUSIC CONTINUES) (METAL CREAKING) (METAL CREAKING) (METAL CREAKING) FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: Radioactivity is now present at the sewer level.
Radioactivity is now present at the sewer level.
It's moved inside! Root, you cover the third level from the north side.
I'll cover the south.
Hurst! Yes, sir.
Monitor this.
Keep me in direct contact at all times.
(DEVICE BEEPING) Yes? HURST: Target has moved to Section A, Level 3.
Alert all security units! FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: Target is proceeding to Level 4.
Target is proceeding to Level 4.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (ALARM SOUNDING) Target at Checkpoint 2! Root, get there! Right.
FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: Target now stationary at Level 5.
Quail, that fence is 30 feet.
Nobody can vault that high! But he did get over the fence.
What did Security find at the third level when we first picked up his signals? Nothing.
No sign of entry.
We ran a Geiger counter over the entire area.
Clean.
He had to break in somehow.
And if he can get in, others can.
Maybe you should cancel the attack? And lose ten million dollars? Simply because one man was able to break in as far as the corridor? Seems a bit of an over-reaction.
Maybe his people wanted him to be captured.
Why? He could be carrying an implant.
An implant to destroy the laser before it can be used.
A nuclear implant would have set off those sensor devices.
Are we getting any further radiation readings from him since we locked him into Area R? Negative.
Then if he is wearing an implant those lead walls are blocking the rays from affecting the laser.
But who is he, Quail? How much does he know? Who sent him? Those are three very good questions, my dear.
And we shall find the answers, I promise you.
My name is Quail.
But I'm sure you know that already.
I think I've heard it someplace.
Your name? My name? Oh, I forget, but it'll come back to me.
Who sent you? Oh, lady, please.
The CIA, Interpol, KGB Scotland Yard? All right, I'll give you my name and my rank and my serial number.
Well then, you could be shot as a spy for infiltrating out of uniform.
STEVE: If there was a war and if you had your own country But there isn't and you don't.
But you could be shot and killed for trespassing on private property.
Oh, that's how you plan to handle it, huh? At the moment, I'm curious about you.
You registered a nuclear reading on our scanner screen.
I want to know what makes you tick.
QUAIL: You're a very strange, very interesting person.
What can I say? Oh, you will if I have to authorize an autopsy on you.
Let me! Agh! Lady! QUAIL: Not so overzealous, Violette.
We have plenty of time.
Who sent you? ROOT: Who sent you? OSCAR: Steve, if there's any trouble, I mean, if you should fall into their hands try not to reveal your strength, you may need it for the finish.
Who sent you! ROOT: I said, talk! Who sent you? Do you hear me? Now you talk to me! Who are you? Who are you? Forget it! How did you get here? ROOT: Who sent you here? I repeat, forget it! Where'd you come from? Your name! You talk! All right, who are you? Who sent you here? Who are you? How did you get here? Who are you? All right! Who sent you? (DEVICE WHIRRING) (SONAR PINGS) Test the opening.
And aim the laser.
The satellite should be in orbit directly over us in exactly ten hours.
The laser is programmed to fire at precisely that second.
I promised you your little spectacular, Mr.
Ives and I never break a promise.
You don't seem too enthusiastic, Violette.
Oh, I am.
I only wish I knew more about him.
Well? I haven't gotten anything yet.
Well, how are we feeling today? Well, the first team couldn't score so I see they brought in the second team.
I think you will talk to me.
Leave me alone with him.
STEVE: Ow! Trust me.
I am an Interpol agent.
Promise you won't get mad if I say I've heard that one before? You're behaving very foolishly.
I think it best that you realize that your cooperation is necessary.
Now! (STEVE GRUNTING) STEVE: Ow! Blue Dolphin.
Rainbow end at four fathoms.
No sale, lady.
You could've overheard Balsam use that code signal.
STEVE: Or you could have forced it from him before he died.
I'm warning you! Now there really isn't much time and you have an important decision to make.
Now I would suggest that you start making it.
Yes, but what can you lose by trusting me? I need your help.
It's happening today! What is? A giant laser bouncing a beam off a satellite.
To where? I don't know.
Get the information out.
It's safer.
Impossible.
All right, we're going to try it one more time! Now I am losing my patience with you! How'd they get me? Radiation.
You set off sensor alarms.
There's something different about you.
What is it? It's my accent.
Where's the laser? Top level.
Elevator end of corridor.
Can you shut off the sensor system? What are you saying? You said to trust you.
Prove it.
STEVE: Now I can break out of here, but you gotta buy me time.
I'll try.
I must go now, but I don't want to hurt you.
Just touch me.
I'll do the rest.
All right.
(STEVE GRUNTS) (SIGHS) Close it! (OMINOUS MUSIC) (METAL CREAKING) (LOUD CRASHING) (ELEVATOR WHIRR) (OMINOUS MUSIC) HURST: Main sensor system has just blown out! (BEEPING) Freeze the laser and follow me! Oh, Violette I'm so disappointed in you.
(BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT) (PHONE BUZZING) Yes? He got out! Bring her.
All right, hold it! You seem to have found yourself an ally.
Since you're both so anxious to learn what weâre doing here I'll let you see for yourselves.
When it's over, I'll take you apart, whoever you are.
(OMINOUS MUSIC) Hurst, aim and activate the laser! QUAIL: Since you two comrades have gone to such trouble to find out what we are doing here I think it's only fitting that you know the full story before you die.
This is a summit meeting taking place in Paris at this very moment.
A meeting of the prime ministers of the seven member countries of the neutral sept-partite block gentlemen who happen to be diametrically opposed to the views held by Mr.
Ives and his associates.
So you plan to kill them.
I find that wording unfortunate but the answer is yes, I plan to kill them.
As the satellite passes overhead into position it will be hit with a beam from this laser, to bounce back and detonate explosives planted inside the embassy where this meeting is taking place.
Hurst, give me the count down.
HURST: Six minutes.
History may refer to this day as the last of the fourth of Julys.
Well, that's a shame.
I beg your pardon? I say thatâs a shame! How's that? 'Cause now that you told me what you're doing I'm going to have to do something about it.
How? Root, get them! I still don't understand, how did you get out of that cell? Never mind.
I programmed the laser to self-destruct.
How soon? STEVE: When Quail fires it, five minutes from now.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Do not concern yourself with trivia, my friend.
They cannot escape my men.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) (OMINOUS MUSIC) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) All right, go! FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: Target is climbing to Level 4.
Target is climbing to Level 3.
(GUNSHOT) (STEAM HISSING) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (METAL CREAKING) (LASER WHIRS) Laser on target, sir.
Good.
FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: Target is climbing to sewer level.
(METAL CREAKING) (SONAR PINGS) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Don't! It's an electric fence! We're trapped! No! No, please don't! Stand back! (ELECTRIC BUZZ) (SCREAMS) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Get on my back.
Hang on tight now, you hear? Oh, yes.
Okay.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) 59, 58, 57 All right, climb in.
Now here we go.
52, 51, 50 Now take this, put it on.
STEVE: Now just relax and breathe easy.
We have to hurry, we don't have much time.
43, 42 39, 38, 37 Mr.
Ives, the prime ministers will be dead in exactly 35 seconds.
35, 34, 33 (GUNS FIRE) Minus 10, 9, 8 4, 3 2, 1.
Fire! (SONAR PINGS) Joe, come here, look at this.
The whole mountain's exploding.
No one can survive that.
We'd better pull out.
We'll give him five minutes.
Five minutes? But Austin's gotta swim back.
It took ten minutes for the torpedo to get to the beach.
Five minutes.
We owe him that.
Mr.
Goldman, I'm sorry, I've got to get underway, sir.
I understand, Captain.
All ahead.
Flank speed.
I'm getting something.
Coming right at us.
What is it? Torpedo, sir.
Coming right for us! Prepare to dive! That might be Steve, Captain! (DIVE ALARM SOUNDS) Mr.
Goldman I can't risk this boat or my men on that chance.
SONAR: Sir? I'm not getting high-speed propellers.
You win.
Cancel that last order.
It's coming right at us.
(LOUD CLANGING) Right on top of us.
(BANGING) It's him.
Sergeant, let's go! Prepare the re-entry hatch! Open the re-entry hatch.
(AIR HISSES) Come on in, Steve! Atta b-- Who are you? (GASPING) A little mermaid I found along the way.
She swims for Interpol.
Well welcome.
Here, put this on.
(ROMANTIC MUSIC) I've been on the phone with Washington.
Interpol picked up the survivors at Quail's base.
OSCAR: Quail is still missing.
Not now, Oscar.
The good news is that the uh, that the summit meeting was a huge success.
And I have a tape of your new assignment, Steve.
I'm very busy, Oscar.
But they they want you briefed before arrival, Steve.
I said later, Oscar.
Colonel, that's Washington talking.
You can't just tell them to forget about the whole thing.
Joe, let me put it this way.
There's a time for business and there's a time for business, you know? Yes, sir.
Shall we? You know, I never really did get your name.
Oh, you will.
(MARITIME MUSIC) (END THEME MUSIC)

Radioactivity is now present at the sewer level.
It's moved inside! Root, you cover the third level from the north side.
I'll cover the south.
Hurst! Yes, sir.
Monitor this.
Keep me in direct contact at all times.
(DEVICE BEEPING) Yes? HURST: Target has moved to Section A, Level 3.
Alert all security units! FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: Target is proceeding to Level 4.
Target is proceeding to Level 4.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (ALARM SOUNDING) Target at Checkpoint 2! Root, get there! Right.
FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: Target now stationary at Level 5.
Quail, that fence is 30 feet.
Nobody can vault that high! But he did get over the fence.
What did Security find at the third level when we first picked up his signals? Nothing.
No sign of entry.
We ran a Geiger counter over the entire area.
Clean.
He had to break in somehow.
And if he can get in, others can.
Maybe you should cancel the attack? And lose ten million dollars? Simply because one man was able to break in as far as the corridor? Seems a bit of an over-reaction.
Maybe his people wanted him to be captured.
Why? He could be carrying an implant.
An implant to destroy the laser before it can be used.
A nuclear implant would have set off those sensor devices.
Are we getting any further radiation readings from him since we locked him into Area R? Negative.
Then if he is wearing an implant those lead walls are blocking the rays from affecting the laser.
But who is he, Quail? How much does he know? Who sent him? Those are three very good questions, my dear.
And we shall find the answers, I promise you.
My name is Quail.
But I'm sure you know that already.
I think I've heard it someplace.
Your name? My name? Oh, I forget, but it'll come back to me.
Who sent you? Oh, lady, please.
The CIA, Interpol, KGB Scotland Yard? All right, I'll give you my name and my rank and my serial number.
Well then, you could be shot as a spy for infiltrating out of uniform.
STEVE: If there was a war and if you had your own country But there isn't and you don't.
But you could be shot and killed for trespassing on private property.
Oh, that's how you plan to handle it, huh? At the moment, I'm curious about you.
You registered a nuclear reading on our scanner screen.
I want to know what makes you tick.
QUAIL: You're a very strange, very interesting person.
What can I say? Oh, you will if I have to authorize an autopsy on you.
Let me! Agh! Lady! QUAIL: Not so overzealous, Violette.
We have plenty of time.
Who sent you? ROOT: Who sent you? OSCAR: Steve, if there's any trouble, I mean, if you should fall into their hands try not to reveal your strength, you may need it for the finish.
Who sent you! ROOT: I said, talk! Who sent you? Do you hear me? Now you talk to me! Who are you? Who are you? Forget it! How did you get here? ROOT: Who sent you here? I repeat, forget it! Where'd you come from? Your name! You talk! All right, who are you? Who sent you here? Who are you? How did you get here? Who are you? All right! Who sent you? (DEVICE WHIRRING) (SONAR PINGS) Test the opening.
And aim the laser.
The satellite should be in orbit directly over us in exactly ten hours.
The laser is programmed to fire at precisely that second.
I promised you your little spectacular, Mr.
Ives and I never break a promise.
You don't seem too enthusiastic, Violette.
Oh, I am.
I only wish I knew more about him.
Well? I haven't gotten anything yet.
Well, how are we feeling today? Well, the first team couldn't score so I see they brought in the second team.
I think you will talk to me.
Leave me alone with him.
STEVE: Ow! Trust me.
I am an Interpol agent.
Promise you won't get mad if I say I've heard that one before? You're behaving very foolishly.
I think it best that you realize that your cooperation is necessary.
Now! (STEVE GRUNTING) STEVE: Ow! Blue Dolphin.
Rainbow end at four fathoms.
No sale, lady.
You could've overheard Balsam use that code signal.
STEVE: Or you could have forced it from him before he died.
I'm warning you! Now there really isn't much time and you have an important decision to make.
Now I would suggest that you start making it.
Yes, but what can you lose by trusting me? I need your help.
It's happening today! What is? A giant laser bouncing a beam off a satellite.
To where? I don't know.
Get the information out.
It's safer.
Impossible.
All right, we're going to try it one more time! Now I am losing my patience with you! How'd they get me? Radiation.
You set off sensor alarms.
There's something different about you.
What is it? It's my accent.
Where's the laser? Top level.
Elevator end of corridor.
Can you shut off the sensor system? What are you saying? You said to trust you.
Prove it.
STEVE: Now I can break out of here, but you gotta buy me time.
I'll try.
I must go now, but I don't want to hurt you.
Just touch me.
I'll do the rest.
All right.
(STEVE GRUNTS) (SIGHS) Close it! (OMINOUS MUSIC) (METAL CREAKING) (LOUD CRASHING) (ELEVATOR WHIRR) (OMINOUS MUSIC) HURST: Main sensor system has just blown out! (BEEPING) Freeze the laser and follow me! Oh, Violette I'm so disappointed in you.
(BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT) (PHONE BUZZING) Yes? He got out! Bring her.
All right, hold it! You seem to have found yourself an ally.
Since you're both so anxious to learn what weâre doing here I'll let you see for yourselves.
When it's over, I'll take you apart, whoever you are.
(OMINOUS MUSIC) Hurst, aim and activate the laser! QUAIL: Since you two comrades have gone to such trouble to find out what we are doing here I think it's only fitting that you know the full story before you die.
This is a summit meeting taking place in Paris at this very moment.
A meeting of the prime ministers of the seven member countries of the neutral sept-partite block gentlemen who happen to be diametrically opposed to the views held by Mr.
Ives and his associates.
So you plan to kill them.
I find that wording unfortunate but the answer is yes, I plan to kill them.
As the satellite passes overhead into position it will be hit with a beam from this laser, to bounce back and detonate explosives planted inside the embassy where this meeting is taking place.
Hurst, give me the count down.
HURST: Six minutes.
History may refer to this day as the last of the fourth of Julys.
Well, that's a shame.
I beg your pardon? I say thatâs a shame! How's that? 'Cause now that you told me what you're doing I'm going to have to do something about it.
How? Root, get them! I still don't understand, how did you get out of that cell? Never mind.
I programmed the laser to self-destruct.
How soon? STEVE: When Quail fires it, five minutes from now.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Do not concern yourself with trivia, my friend.
They cannot escape my men.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) (OMINOUS MUSIC) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) All right, go! FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: Target is climbing to Level 4.
Target is climbing to Level 3.
(GUNSHOT) (STEAM HISSING) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (METAL CREAKING) (LASER WHIRS) Laser on target, sir.
Good.
FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: Target is climbing to sewer level.
(METAL CREAKING) (SONAR PINGS) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Don't! It's an electric fence! We're trapped! No! No, please don't! Stand back! (ELECTRIC BUZZ) (SCREAMS) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Get on my back.
Hang on tight now, you hear? Oh, yes.
Okay.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) 59, 58, 57 All right, climb in.
Now here we go.
52, 51, 50 Now take this, put it on.
STEVE: Now just relax and breathe easy.
We have to hurry, we don't have much time.
43, 42 39, 38, 37 Mr.
Ives, the prime ministers will be dead in exactly 35 seconds.
35, 34, 33 (GUNS FIRE) Minus 10, 9, 8 4, 3 2, 1.
Fire! (SONAR PINGS) Joe, come here, look at this.
The whole mountain's exploding.
No one can survive that.
We'd better pull out.
We'll give him five minutes.
Five minutes? But Austin's gotta swim back.
It took ten minutes for the torpedo to get to the beach.
Five minutes.
We owe him that.
Mr.
Goldman, I'm sorry, I've got to get underway, sir.
I understand, Captain.
All ahead.
Flank speed.
I'm getting something.
Coming right at us.
What is it? Torpedo, sir.
Coming right for us! Prepare to dive! That might be Steve, Captain! (DIVE ALARM SOUNDS) Mr.
Goldman I can't risk this boat or my men on that chance.
SONAR: Sir? I'm not getting high-speed propellers.
You win.
Cancel that last order.
It's coming right at us.
(LOUD CLANGING) Right on top of us.
(BANGING) It's him.
Sergeant, let's go! Prepare the re-entry hatch! Open the re-entry hatch.
(AIR HISSES) Come on in, Steve! Atta b-- Who are you? (GASPING) A little mermaid I found along the way.
She swims for Interpol.
Well welcome.
Here, put this on.
(ROMANTIC MUSIC) I've been on the phone with Washington.
Interpol picked up the survivors at Quail's base.
OSCAR: Quail is still missing.
Not now, Oscar.
The good news is that the uh, that the summit meeting was a huge success.
And I have a tape of your new assignment, Steve.
I'm very busy, Oscar.
But they they want you briefed before arrival, Steve.
I said later, Oscar.
Colonel, that's Washington talking.
You can't just tell them to forget about the whole thing.
Joe, let me put it this way.
There's a time for business and there's a time for business, you know? Yes, sir.
Shall we? You know, I never really did get your name.
Oh, you will.
