The Bionic Woman (1976) s03e10 Episode Script
Max
1
Max's bionics are very
special and you know that.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
You have a little
built-in spy system, do you?
We'll never lose
Max again, Jaime.
BOBBY: Max?
Max, where are you?
(BARKING)
The drug should have
made the dog docile.
So they've got
Bobby and Val too, huh?
Max, get out of here!
Run! Fast!
HOBBS: We need
the dog anymore?
SAUNDERS: No. HOBBS:
Good, it's doggy heaven for him.
HOBBS: Look out!
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(BARKING)
Come on, Max. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Hey, all right, come on.
Come on, pull. Pull. Come on.
Come on, Max. Pull.
(GROWLING)
Come on, Max.
Okay, Max.
Okay, Max. You win.
Give me back the rope,
you big overgrown hairbrush.
Give me it.
(LAUGHS) Now give me
the rope. Give me the
All right, give me the rope.
Give me the rope.
Give me the rope.
Come on, Max, you big ox.
Give me back the rope.
Can I have the rope?
Give me the rope.
Come on, hand me the
rope. Okay. Come on.
I got a better idea.
Come on.
Wait. Hold on.
Hold on.
(BARKS)
Come on, Max.
Max, come on.
All right, sit, Max. You
think you're good, don't you?
Come on. Sit, Max.
Sit. Sit.
Now, good boy.
All right.
Yeah. This should teach you,
you old hound dog.
Now, let's try it again.
All right. Come on.
Take it. Go on. Pull.
Come on. Pull.
Come on, Max.
Pull, Max, pull.
All right, Max.
Max, hold on. Max!
Max, hold on.
Come on, Max. Max.
Come on, Max.
Pull. Pull. Max. Max.
Hold on, Max. Max!
Max. Hold on, Max.
Max, stop.
Come on, Max.
That's just what he wanted.
Some shepherd, huh?
I'm already counting my money.
BOBBY: All right, Max.
Max, hold on.
OSCAR“. Valerie should be here.
She was leaving
the house when I called.
There she is. Valerie.
(OVERPAA Dr, Granville.
Dr. Granville,
please call the operator.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
VALERIE: Oscar, Russ,
sorry I'm late,
I stopped in the lobby to
buy Jaime these flowers.
They brighten up a heart
as we" as a room,
I knew I forgot something.
We", here, take these.
If you ever get tired,
Valerie, of bionic science,
[could get you a great job in
the diplomatic corps. (GIGGLES)
Hello, hello, hello.
Well,
well, if it isn't the two wise
men, and one lovely wise woman.
Hi, babe.
Hi.
How's everything?
Good.
Well, thank you.
They're pretty.
Flowers brighten the
heart as well as the room.
Yes, I know.
And thank you, Val, for helping
these two gentlemen be so thoughtful.
Well, how do you like that.
You two ladies plan this? Huh?
No. Rudy is working on my
legs and my arm, not my ear.
Bionic ear.
How about you, lady?
You working on me, too?
Or would you like to split and
go get a malt and a hamburger?
Well, your bionics do need
a little bit of work, Jaime.
Okay. I will not say
another word about it.
How's Max doing?
You put that little computer
transmitter thing in him, right?
Mmm-hmm.
Is it working out okay?
Better than we all expected.
The Maxicomp Computer can
now monitor all of Max's vital signs
and give us his exact location
up to 50 kilometers away.
That's nice. You have a little
built-in spy system, do you?
We'll never lose
Max again, Jaime.
Yeah. Well, don't you get any bright ideas
about putting one of those things in me,
because there are some times
I happen to like being lost.
Did it ever occur to you that
sometimes I don't want to find you?
Well, good.
(OVER P.A.) Dr, Granville,
please call the operator.
Dr. Granville,
please call the operator.
I really miss that
mutt, you know.
How's he adapting
to your home life?
Adapting? He's
nearly taken it over.
He'll do that.
He and Bobby are
absolutely inseparable.
You know, I feel funny, Val.
I'm feeling jealous.
Jaime.
I mean, I know that all of the tests
that you're doing and experiments,
they're good for him
and it's working out fine.
I really love Bobby.
I know, but you have
Max under your skin.
Guess I do.
Well, some of him, anyway.
Hey, who's up for a
Bette Davis film festival?
There's one, uh
The Bijou.
Jaime, you promised that you wouldn't
say another word about leaving. Remember?
Ilied.
(HORN HONKING)
It's Aunt Val.
She's gonna kill us.
Max, you big chicken, get
out here and face it like a dog.
(WHIMPERING)
Bobby.
Max.
Oh, hi, Aunt Val. You
have got to be kidding!
What's been going on here?
Anti-tank maneuvers?
I was teaching Max some new
football plays. He's a natural.
I told you never to let
Max use his bionics outside.
Don't get all steamed up, Val.
We were just having some fun.
I'm sorry.
You agreed to my rules when
I brought Max home, right?
Well, nothing's changed.
Max's bionics are very
special and you know that.
You also promised Oscar that
you'd be very careful with him.
Now, do we have
an understanding?
Or do I take Max back to the
lab till Jaime's out of the hospital?
You treat me just like Dad
used to, you know that?
Hey, look, I said I was
sorry. I can see you are sorry,
but do you understand?
Max is here as an experiment.
He's not part of our family.
If that's what
you want to call us.
Hey, Val, I didn't mean that.
We sure can go at it
pretty good, can't we, kid?
Where's Max?
The hero's hiding in the bushes.
(WHIMPERING)
Max. Come over here.
Now!
(WHIMPERING)
Max. Come here!
(WHIMPERING)
You ought to be
ashamed of yourself.
Come on, Val, don't take it
out on Max. It's all my fault.
I dragged him away
from the television set.
Let me tell you, it wasn't
easy. He was watching Lassie,
(LAUGHS)
You two put on some kind
of an act, you know that?
And you, you're
just like your cousin.
MAN: Your brother's plane has
gone down in a storm,
We understand your husband
and son were aboard.
VALERIE: Oh, no! Where?
We don't know.
Their homing device
isn't working.
We're doing everything
we can to locate the crash.
Can you see anything?
I'm sorry, Mrs, Breuer, It
looks like we're too late,
If their homing device had been
working, they might have had a chance,
Val?
Val, why don't you take
the rest of the afternoon off,
and take us downtown
for some R and R, huh?
Hey. That's
a good idea.
But I don't have the time.
Same old story.
All work and no play
makes Val a very dull aunt.
If I'd been doing the kind of work
two years ago that I'm doing today,
your father, John and
Ricky might be alive now.
Come on, Val, that was a crash.
A crash that could've been
located days sooner
if they'd been carrying
a homing device like Max has.
Yeah. Well, you
talk like it's your fault.
Can't go blaming yourself.
I can blame whomever I want.
Now how about helping
me for a change?
Uh-uh.
What?
Won't I get in trouble
with the scientists' union?
Well, we won't
let them find out.
Why don't you take Max for a walk so
I can test the Maxicomp locator. Okay?
But don't go too far away, okay?
It has a very small sensor
with only a five kilometer range.
And, Bobby,
no running, no jumping,
and no funny stuff out there.
Okay? I don't want any trouble.
You got it. Come
on, Max. Let's go.
(BARKING)
MAN: If their homing device had been
working, they might have had a chance,
Hey, Max, wait up.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
Come on, Max, that's not fair.
Slow down, Max,
Val's gonna kill us.
I'm gonna kill them!
Max. Max. Hey, no fair.
There's no showing off in public.
Okay? Now, come on. Let's go.
There they are.
They're in range.
Turn on the jamming device.
You got it. Coming on.
Make it fast and quick.
I'll take care of the kid.
Hey! Heel!
Hey, kid, stop right there.
Stay, Max.
Come over here.
What do you want?
Where's your dog leash?
My dog leash?
Yeah.
I had it when I left the
house, but it was kind of old.
It was really old, and it broke
so I threw it in a trash
can a couple blocks back.
I'm really sorry to hear
that, my young friend,
but at the moment you're
violating a city ordinance.
What does that mean? Aticket.
Come on, I don't deserve that.
He's a smart dog. He
doesn't even need a leash.
Sure, kid. The law says
your dog's got to have a leash.
Max isn't any old dog.
He's special.
Come on, give me
a break, will you?
What's your name?
Bobby. Bobby Wilson.
Address?
3134 Downing Drive.
Your telephone number?
203-1871.
I wonder what's wrong.
Let this be
a lesson to you, son.
Your dog could run out in
the street. Not on a leash,
get killed by a passing
car. You wouldn't like that!
Yeah, well, don't
do me any favors.
He knows all about crosswalks.
Max, would you get over here.
You've got me in enough trouble already.
Come on out, Max.
Quit hiding.
Max?
Max, where are you?
OSCAR: So the hospital emergency
rooms haven't reported anything, huh?
All right, stay with it but remember,
this whole thing is classified.
Don't give out any more information
about the dog unless you have to.
Yeah. Okay.
I'll be at this number.
Anything?
Oscar, this makes
no sense at all.
The computer and
Maxicomp homing device
have been working perfectly
for the last six weeks.
I didn't leave the room
for more than two minutes,
and when I get back both
of them were going haywire.
Have you got any ideas, Val?
Sure, lots of them,
but no answers as to why the
computer can't pinpoint Max's location.
All the terminals
check out positive.
There's no power failure.
There's something
very wrong, Oscar.
Just like when my
brother's plane went down.
I can feel it all around me.
You know, we're probably
worrying about nothing.
Bobby's bowling somewhere,
or at a neighbor's house.
Bobby was helping me test
the homing device.
He's an independent kid,
Oscar, but he is not irresponsible.
Please check
the hospitals again.
Bobby.
Sorry, Val.
Where've you been?
All over.
Around and around.
What is that supposed to
mean? And where's Max?
That's just what I mean.
I don't know. What
about your computer?
The Maxicomp isn't
working. Sit down, Bobby.
Tell us what happened.
Well, everything was going
all right till this guy stopped me
for not having a leash on Max.
He gave me this ticket.
When he was gone, so was Max.
Oscar, Val, I'm sorry.
How soon can you get
that computer going?
I don't know. An hour,
a month, I don't know.
Make it an hour.
Hello, Russ.
The boy's back. The dog
isn't. Could be kidnapping.
What kind of a car
was that guy driving?
A white van.
A dog catcher's truck.
A dog catcher's truck. White.
Put a net around the city.
Check the Animal
Regulations people.
I'll be back in the office in 20
minutes. We'll coordinate from there.
This could be
a professional job.
Valerie, is it possible to jam
the homing device on Max's leg?
Depends on how much you
know about Max's bionics.
High frequency radio
waves, negative feedback.
Yeah, it's possible.
Now, Bob, I want you to
listen to me very carefully.
This isn't your fault.
It could have happened
to anybody at anytime.
Now, I want you to tell me
exactly what happened.
Everything. Don't
leave anything out.
I want every detail.
Any luck yet? The
dog's still groggy.
Dr. Sanders is
with him now.
What's the problem, Yvon?
Our radio device isn't having any trouble
blocking the OSI homing signal, is it?
No, no. The jamming
mechanism is fine.
The problem is the dog.
I can't begin my tests with a German
shepherd who won't cooperate.
(WHIMPERS)
Especially one
with a bionic jaw.
The drug should have
made the dog docile,
yet he still refuses to eat.
There are alternative ways of
feeding human beings, why not dogs?
If you're speaking of intravenous
feeding, Mr. Carson, it is possible.
However, that would
just double our problem.
I would have to put the
shepherd to sleep first,
and that would only serve
to delay the bionic testing.
Get to the point, Yvon.
What should we do?
Valerie Breuer is a bionic scientist
who has worked extensively with Max.
She also has a long-standing
relationship with the OSI.
Two birds with one stone.
It might pay off.
You want me to get
an OSI scientist?
We only have 48 hours to
deliver the bionic information
to our eastern customer.
With the woman
we could buy some time.
And Max will assuredly
perform for her.
So Oscar expects me to stay here,
plugged into this thing while Max is lost?
Jaime, there's nothing
you can do about it.
Rudy's just finished
with your left side.
And you won't be back on
your feet for at least 48 hours.
So I suggest you just sit back
and control your blood pressure.
Wow! What about Bobby?
What?
Well, how's he handling this?
Not very well.
That poor kid. I mean, he has
been through so much recently.
He lost his father,
and Val's family.
And he probably feels he
was responsible for losing Max.
And Val?
She invented the Maxicompjust
to avoid this type of thing.
Must be difficult.
Yeah.
(ELECTRONIC BUZZING)
Not working.
Oh, Oscar, I'm sorry.
It's okay, Valerie.
Sandwich, Oscar?
No thanks, Bob.
I gotta push on.
You gave it your
best shot, Valerie.
Hey, Val, your favorite,
baloney and mayonnaise.
Right now the only thing my stomach's
looking for is a change of address.
Come on. Dad always said, "A full
stomach keeps your brain working."
My brother only said that
because he loved to eat.
Hey, why don't you push some more
buttons? Maybe the computer's working now.
I don't think so, Bobby.
The people who took Max know he's
special and that we're trying to find him.
Whatever it is they're using
to block our communications,
well, it's working.
Hey, you don't
sound like you, Val.
I mean, you've never
given up on anything before.
Oh, okay, Dad. I'll
give it another go.
Hey, Val, how about
the two of us going out
and using your little
Maxicomp to find Max?
Because if the big
computer's not working
Then I guess there's no
chance for the little one to.
Uh-huh. You already
thought of that, huh?
About 4,000 times.
I guess there's still a chance.
Maybe the computer at the OSI
can come up with the variables.
Want to come along?
No, thanks.
I'd feel better if I just
stuck around here.
Maybe Max will come home.
And Val?
Mmm-hmm?
It's "chance",
not " chance"
Three years back from
England and you still can't say it.
Good-bye.
Bye.
(BARKING)
No one can hear you, Max. As long
as you're within 50 feet of that jammer,
no one's going to
know where you are.
What do you think you're doing?
Valerie Breuer?
Yes, but will you get
that car out of the way?
Move over.
(BARKING)
Well, Max, you ready to start
behaving yourself and eat?
(BARKING)
We're going to get along
just fine, aren't we, Max?
Hungry, aren't you?
(WHIMPERING)
Once we get the Breuerwoman,
we'll be able to proceed with the
bionic testing without any problems.
That's right.
Not only that
I don't know what kind of
game it is you're playing,
but simply put, I don't like it.
You really don't have
much choice, do you, lady?
VALERIE: Let go of my arm.
Max, get out of here.
Run! Fast!
(BARKING)
Max, run! Max, run!
Don't shoot, Hobbs. The
dog's worth nothing dead.
Get out, Max!
Run! Now, Max!
Max. Run away.
Go on, Max.
Run, please.
HOBBS: Good boy.
Easy, doggy.
Get out, Max.
Now, please.
Max, run!
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
Get him, Hobbs!
Are you kidding?
Look at him go.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
SAUNDERS: Use the car.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(RHYTHMIC BEEPING)
It's working.
Valerie Breuer, please.
Well, do you know where she is?
What about Oscar Goldman?
No, thanks.
I'll call back.
He's five kilometers
west of here.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
Send a man over to
Valerie Breuer's house.
Send a man to the OSI lab.
If you don't hear from Valerie
and Bobby in the next 20 minutes,
send out an APB.
Now what about the van?
Well, that's the first
step in the right direction.
Stay on it.
What did you find out?
Jaime, the citation that Bobby
got was put in the OSI computer.
Handwriting analysis tells
us that Hobbs is, in actuality,
a man called DeMarko,
a wanted felon.
He's our first lead.
I'm checking with our
underworld sources
to find out if we can
come up with something.
So they've got
Bobby and Val too, huh?
I don't know.
You have only one
choice, Ms. Breuer,
and that is to
cooperate with us fully.
I don't think so.
The only cooperation
I'm gonna give
is picking all of you
from a police lineup.
That's very amusing.
But not very realistic.
You may be willing to give
up your life for your country,
but are you certain you wanna make
that fatal decision for your nephew?
Point one kilometers north.
That's in the park.
(BARKING)
Max.
Are you all right? Are
you all right? Yeah.
I gotta get you home and
start phoning around for Val.
They're all worried about
you. Yeah. Come on. Let's go.
(BARKING)
What's the matter, Max?
(BARKING)
What are you trying to say?
(BARKING)
You know, a bionic Mynah bird
would make things a lot easier.
This better be good.
Smart dog is
making my life easy.
He's leading the kid
right back to the nest.
Val's car.
Hey now, Max, don't move.
You understand?
Stay, Max.
Well, that's all the
information I can give you.
Unless, of course, you
take me home to get my files.
We know you've been
involved in bionic surgery,
but you've deleted all
information concerning the muscle
and tissue rejection procedure.
I'm sorry, Dr. Sanders,
but that's not my field.
I know nothing about it.
Valerie, you're not
helping yourself.
I told you, Mr. Carson,
I know nothing
I heard what you told me.
Now you're going to hear me.
I'm through fooling around with
you. Do you understand that?
Yes. But it will
take some time!
Time is the one thing that you
don't have time to worry about.
Yes, this is Carson.
I hope we can do that.
Of course.
We're getting all of
the information now.
Yes, she's giving us
everything we need.
All right, now we're gonna
be through here in a few hours.
You have that plane ready
at 5:00, and remember,
it's 100,000 on delivery.
Don't worry about that. I'll have
Hobbs take care of the woman.
All right.
For sure.
I can't give you any more
variables than you've got right here.
(CHOKING) Val!
Forgot your leash
again, huh, kid?
Don't worry. I'll be
back for you shortly.
If the kid is here, the dog
led him. Scout around outside.
(WHIMPERING)
Well, whatever it was that jammed
that computer signal, it's gone now.
Max is five kilometers
west of here.
There's a map in
the car. Let's go.
(WHIMPERING)
So, the next step?
Yes.
Get rid of Breuer's car and
then meet us at the airport.
What about the two of them?
Use your imagination.
Good. I think we can find something
to keep them occupied for quite a while.
Max, untie us.
Come on, Max.
Max, untie us.
Come on, Max, untie us.
Come on, Max.
That's a good boy, Max.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(WHIMPERING)
Come on, Val.
(WHISPERING)
Come on. Let's go.
Come on.
Okay. I'll go first. Now,
you wait right here. All right?
No. We go
as a family.
All right. I'll take care of it.
(FOOTSTEPS)
Carson! Hobbs!
Do we need the dog anymore?
No, we have all the
information we need.
Good, it's doggy heaven for him.
(BARKING)
Get the door, fast.
Come on.
Down the stairs.
HOBBS: Now we'll get them.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
Look out!
CARSON: Stop him!
Can you make it, Val? (GRUNTS
) Yeah. Do I have a choice?
They aren't going anywhere.
The gates are locked.
Where's Max?
I don't know.
BOBBY: Here he comes.
He's got their gun.
Come on.
Give me the gun.
Give me the gun.
Give me that.
Max, it's ruined.
BOBBY: Wait a minute.
Max can get us out of here.
Max, Max.
Max, break it.
Good boy,
Max. Hurry!
OSCAR: Stay where you
are, don't move. Right there.
HOBBS: Okay.
Okay. Don't shoot.
And you call yourself a dog.
(BARKING)
Hi, Max. How you doing?
BOBBY: Hey, don't
wash her face.
Come on, Max.
Lay off.
Oh, he's okay.
Hi. How are you?
(LAUGHS)
How did you get him up here?
The OSI moves in
mysterious ways, Jaime.
Oh. Yes.
You don't look any
the worse for wear, huh?
They've been taking
good care of you?
BOBBY: Hey, great care.
But we did come pretty
close to losing him.
Carson and Sanders
were very thorough.
That jamming device was an
extraordinary bit of engineering.
Yes. And tomorrow I'm gonna start
work on a system to defend against it.
Hey, you workaholic,
everybody's got to take a
rest now and then, you know.
Yeah.
Yes, but
No "yes, buts".
I mean, why don't you and
Bobby take atrip somewhere?
Yeah, a family vacation.
That does have
a nice sound to it.
You know, for the first time, I
really do feel like we're a family.
But who's gonna
take care of Max? Hey!
Who do you think?
VALERIE: Max.
Max's bionics are very
special and you know that.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
You have a little
built-in spy system, do you?
We'll never lose
Max again, Jaime.
BOBBY: Max?
Max, where are you?
(BARKING)
The drug should have
made the dog docile.
So they've got
Bobby and Val too, huh?
Max, get out of here!
Run! Fast!
HOBBS: We need
the dog anymore?
SAUNDERS: No. HOBBS:
Good, it's doggy heaven for him.
HOBBS: Look out!
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(BARKING)
Come on, Max. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Hey, all right, come on.
Come on, pull. Pull. Come on.
Come on, Max. Pull.
(GROWLING)
Come on, Max.
Okay, Max.
Okay, Max. You win.
Give me back the rope,
you big overgrown hairbrush.
Give me it.
(LAUGHS) Now give me
the rope. Give me the
All right, give me the rope.
Give me the rope.
Give me the rope.
Come on, Max, you big ox.
Give me back the rope.
Can I have the rope?
Give me the rope.
Come on, hand me the
rope. Okay. Come on.
I got a better idea.
Come on.
Wait. Hold on.
Hold on.
(BARKS)
Come on, Max.
Max, come on.
All right, sit, Max. You
think you're good, don't you?
Come on. Sit, Max.
Sit. Sit.
Now, good boy.
All right.
Yeah. This should teach you,
you old hound dog.
Now, let's try it again.
All right. Come on.
Take it. Go on. Pull.
Come on. Pull.
Come on, Max.
Pull, Max, pull.
All right, Max.
Max, hold on. Max!
Max, hold on.
Come on, Max. Max.
Come on, Max.
Pull. Pull. Max. Max.
Hold on, Max. Max!
Max. Hold on, Max.
Max, stop.
Come on, Max.
That's just what he wanted.
Some shepherd, huh?
I'm already counting my money.
BOBBY: All right, Max.
Max, hold on.
OSCAR“. Valerie should be here.
She was leaving
the house when I called.
There she is. Valerie.
(OVERPAA Dr, Granville.
Dr. Granville,
please call the operator.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
VALERIE: Oscar, Russ,
sorry I'm late,
I stopped in the lobby to
buy Jaime these flowers.
They brighten up a heart
as we" as a room,
I knew I forgot something.
We", here, take these.
If you ever get tired,
Valerie, of bionic science,
[could get you a great job in
the diplomatic corps. (GIGGLES)
Hello, hello, hello.
Well,
well, if it isn't the two wise
men, and one lovely wise woman.
Hi, babe.
Hi.
How's everything?
Good.
Well, thank you.
They're pretty.
Flowers brighten the
heart as well as the room.
Yes, I know.
And thank you, Val, for helping
these two gentlemen be so thoughtful.
Well, how do you like that.
You two ladies plan this? Huh?
No. Rudy is working on my
legs and my arm, not my ear.
Bionic ear.
How about you, lady?
You working on me, too?
Or would you like to split and
go get a malt and a hamburger?
Well, your bionics do need
a little bit of work, Jaime.
Okay. I will not say
another word about it.
How's Max doing?
You put that little computer
transmitter thing in him, right?
Mmm-hmm.
Is it working out okay?
Better than we all expected.
The Maxicomp Computer can
now monitor all of Max's vital signs
and give us his exact location
up to 50 kilometers away.
That's nice. You have a little
built-in spy system, do you?
We'll never lose
Max again, Jaime.
Yeah. Well, don't you get any bright ideas
about putting one of those things in me,
because there are some times
I happen to like being lost.
Did it ever occur to you that
sometimes I don't want to find you?
Well, good.
(OVER P.A.) Dr, Granville,
please call the operator.
Dr. Granville,
please call the operator.
I really miss that
mutt, you know.
How's he adapting
to your home life?
Adapting? He's
nearly taken it over.
He'll do that.
He and Bobby are
absolutely inseparable.
You know, I feel funny, Val.
I'm feeling jealous.
Jaime.
I mean, I know that all of the tests
that you're doing and experiments,
they're good for him
and it's working out fine.
I really love Bobby.
I know, but you have
Max under your skin.
Guess I do.
Well, some of him, anyway.
Hey, who's up for a
Bette Davis film festival?
There's one, uh
The Bijou.
Jaime, you promised that you wouldn't
say another word about leaving. Remember?
Ilied.
(HORN HONKING)
It's Aunt Val.
She's gonna kill us.
Max, you big chicken, get
out here and face it like a dog.
(WHIMPERING)
Bobby.
Max.
Oh, hi, Aunt Val. You
have got to be kidding!
What's been going on here?
Anti-tank maneuvers?
I was teaching Max some new
football plays. He's a natural.
I told you never to let
Max use his bionics outside.
Don't get all steamed up, Val.
We were just having some fun.
I'm sorry.
You agreed to my rules when
I brought Max home, right?
Well, nothing's changed.
Max's bionics are very
special and you know that.
You also promised Oscar that
you'd be very careful with him.
Now, do we have
an understanding?
Or do I take Max back to the
lab till Jaime's out of the hospital?
You treat me just like Dad
used to, you know that?
Hey, look, I said I was
sorry. I can see you are sorry,
but do you understand?
Max is here as an experiment.
He's not part of our family.
If that's what
you want to call us.
Hey, Val, I didn't mean that.
We sure can go at it
pretty good, can't we, kid?
Where's Max?
The hero's hiding in the bushes.
(WHIMPERING)
Max. Come over here.
Now!
(WHIMPERING)
Max. Come here!
(WHIMPERING)
You ought to be
ashamed of yourself.
Come on, Val, don't take it
out on Max. It's all my fault.
I dragged him away
from the television set.
Let me tell you, it wasn't
easy. He was watching Lassie,
(LAUGHS)
You two put on some kind
of an act, you know that?
And you, you're
just like your cousin.
MAN: Your brother's plane has
gone down in a storm,
We understand your husband
and son were aboard.
VALERIE: Oh, no! Where?
We don't know.
Their homing device
isn't working.
We're doing everything
we can to locate the crash.
Can you see anything?
I'm sorry, Mrs, Breuer, It
looks like we're too late,
If their homing device had been
working, they might have had a chance,
Val?
Val, why don't you take
the rest of the afternoon off,
and take us downtown
for some R and R, huh?
Hey. That's
a good idea.
But I don't have the time.
Same old story.
All work and no play
makes Val a very dull aunt.
If I'd been doing the kind of work
two years ago that I'm doing today,
your father, John and
Ricky might be alive now.
Come on, Val, that was a crash.
A crash that could've been
located days sooner
if they'd been carrying
a homing device like Max has.
Yeah. Well, you
talk like it's your fault.
Can't go blaming yourself.
I can blame whomever I want.
Now how about helping
me for a change?
Uh-uh.
What?
Won't I get in trouble
with the scientists' union?
Well, we won't
let them find out.
Why don't you take Max for a walk so
I can test the Maxicomp locator. Okay?
But don't go too far away, okay?
It has a very small sensor
with only a five kilometer range.
And, Bobby,
no running, no jumping,
and no funny stuff out there.
Okay? I don't want any trouble.
You got it. Come
on, Max. Let's go.
(BARKING)
MAN: If their homing device had been
working, they might have had a chance,
Hey, Max, wait up.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
Come on, Max, that's not fair.
Slow down, Max,
Val's gonna kill us.
I'm gonna kill them!
Max. Max. Hey, no fair.
There's no showing off in public.
Okay? Now, come on. Let's go.
There they are.
They're in range.
Turn on the jamming device.
You got it. Coming on.
Make it fast and quick.
I'll take care of the kid.
Hey! Heel!
Hey, kid, stop right there.
Stay, Max.
Come over here.
What do you want?
Where's your dog leash?
My dog leash?
Yeah.
I had it when I left the
house, but it was kind of old.
It was really old, and it broke
so I threw it in a trash
can a couple blocks back.
I'm really sorry to hear
that, my young friend,
but at the moment you're
violating a city ordinance.
What does that mean? Aticket.
Come on, I don't deserve that.
He's a smart dog. He
doesn't even need a leash.
Sure, kid. The law says
your dog's got to have a leash.
Max isn't any old dog.
He's special.
Come on, give me
a break, will you?
What's your name?
Bobby. Bobby Wilson.
Address?
3134 Downing Drive.
Your telephone number?
203-1871.
I wonder what's wrong.
Let this be
a lesson to you, son.
Your dog could run out in
the street. Not on a leash,
get killed by a passing
car. You wouldn't like that!
Yeah, well, don't
do me any favors.
He knows all about crosswalks.
Max, would you get over here.
You've got me in enough trouble already.
Come on out, Max.
Quit hiding.
Max?
Max, where are you?
OSCAR: So the hospital emergency
rooms haven't reported anything, huh?
All right, stay with it but remember,
this whole thing is classified.
Don't give out any more information
about the dog unless you have to.
Yeah. Okay.
I'll be at this number.
Anything?
Oscar, this makes
no sense at all.
The computer and
Maxicomp homing device
have been working perfectly
for the last six weeks.
I didn't leave the room
for more than two minutes,
and when I get back both
of them were going haywire.
Have you got any ideas, Val?
Sure, lots of them,
but no answers as to why the
computer can't pinpoint Max's location.
All the terminals
check out positive.
There's no power failure.
There's something
very wrong, Oscar.
Just like when my
brother's plane went down.
I can feel it all around me.
You know, we're probably
worrying about nothing.
Bobby's bowling somewhere,
or at a neighbor's house.
Bobby was helping me test
the homing device.
He's an independent kid,
Oscar, but he is not irresponsible.
Please check
the hospitals again.
Bobby.
Sorry, Val.
Where've you been?
All over.
Around and around.
What is that supposed to
mean? And where's Max?
That's just what I mean.
I don't know. What
about your computer?
The Maxicomp isn't
working. Sit down, Bobby.
Tell us what happened.
Well, everything was going
all right till this guy stopped me
for not having a leash on Max.
He gave me this ticket.
When he was gone, so was Max.
Oscar, Val, I'm sorry.
How soon can you get
that computer going?
I don't know. An hour,
a month, I don't know.
Make it an hour.
Hello, Russ.
The boy's back. The dog
isn't. Could be kidnapping.
What kind of a car
was that guy driving?
A white van.
A dog catcher's truck.
A dog catcher's truck. White.
Put a net around the city.
Check the Animal
Regulations people.
I'll be back in the office in 20
minutes. We'll coordinate from there.
This could be
a professional job.
Valerie, is it possible to jam
the homing device on Max's leg?
Depends on how much you
know about Max's bionics.
High frequency radio
waves, negative feedback.
Yeah, it's possible.
Now, Bob, I want you to
listen to me very carefully.
This isn't your fault.
It could have happened
to anybody at anytime.
Now, I want you to tell me
exactly what happened.
Everything. Don't
leave anything out.
I want every detail.
Any luck yet? The
dog's still groggy.
Dr. Sanders is
with him now.
What's the problem, Yvon?
Our radio device isn't having any trouble
blocking the OSI homing signal, is it?
No, no. The jamming
mechanism is fine.
The problem is the dog.
I can't begin my tests with a German
shepherd who won't cooperate.
(WHIMPERS)
Especially one
with a bionic jaw.
The drug should have
made the dog docile,
yet he still refuses to eat.
There are alternative ways of
feeding human beings, why not dogs?
If you're speaking of intravenous
feeding, Mr. Carson, it is possible.
However, that would
just double our problem.
I would have to put the
shepherd to sleep first,
and that would only serve
to delay the bionic testing.
Get to the point, Yvon.
What should we do?
Valerie Breuer is a bionic scientist
who has worked extensively with Max.
She also has a long-standing
relationship with the OSI.
Two birds with one stone.
It might pay off.
You want me to get
an OSI scientist?
We only have 48 hours to
deliver the bionic information
to our eastern customer.
With the woman
we could buy some time.
And Max will assuredly
perform for her.
So Oscar expects me to stay here,
plugged into this thing while Max is lost?
Jaime, there's nothing
you can do about it.
Rudy's just finished
with your left side.
And you won't be back on
your feet for at least 48 hours.
So I suggest you just sit back
and control your blood pressure.
Wow! What about Bobby?
What?
Well, how's he handling this?
Not very well.
That poor kid. I mean, he has
been through so much recently.
He lost his father,
and Val's family.
And he probably feels he
was responsible for losing Max.
And Val?
She invented the Maxicompjust
to avoid this type of thing.
Must be difficult.
Yeah.
(ELECTRONIC BUZZING)
Not working.
Oh, Oscar, I'm sorry.
It's okay, Valerie.
Sandwich, Oscar?
No thanks, Bob.
I gotta push on.
You gave it your
best shot, Valerie.
Hey, Val, your favorite,
baloney and mayonnaise.
Right now the only thing my stomach's
looking for is a change of address.
Come on. Dad always said, "A full
stomach keeps your brain working."
My brother only said that
because he loved to eat.
Hey, why don't you push some more
buttons? Maybe the computer's working now.
I don't think so, Bobby.
The people who took Max know he's
special and that we're trying to find him.
Whatever it is they're using
to block our communications,
well, it's working.
Hey, you don't
sound like you, Val.
I mean, you've never
given up on anything before.
Oh, okay, Dad. I'll
give it another go.
Hey, Val, how about
the two of us going out
and using your little
Maxicomp to find Max?
Because if the big
computer's not working
Then I guess there's no
chance for the little one to.
Uh-huh. You already
thought of that, huh?
About 4,000 times.
I guess there's still a chance.
Maybe the computer at the OSI
can come up with the variables.
Want to come along?
No, thanks.
I'd feel better if I just
stuck around here.
Maybe Max will come home.
And Val?
Mmm-hmm?
It's "chance",
not " chance"
Three years back from
England and you still can't say it.
Good-bye.
Bye.
(BARKING)
No one can hear you, Max. As long
as you're within 50 feet of that jammer,
no one's going to
know where you are.
What do you think you're doing?
Valerie Breuer?
Yes, but will you get
that car out of the way?
Move over.
(BARKING)
Well, Max, you ready to start
behaving yourself and eat?
(BARKING)
We're going to get along
just fine, aren't we, Max?
Hungry, aren't you?
(WHIMPERING)
Once we get the Breuerwoman,
we'll be able to proceed with the
bionic testing without any problems.
That's right.
Not only that
I don't know what kind of
game it is you're playing,
but simply put, I don't like it.
You really don't have
much choice, do you, lady?
VALERIE: Let go of my arm.
Max, get out of here.
Run! Fast!
(BARKING)
Max, run! Max, run!
Don't shoot, Hobbs. The
dog's worth nothing dead.
Get out, Max!
Run! Now, Max!
Max. Run away.
Go on, Max.
Run, please.
HOBBS: Good boy.
Easy, doggy.
Get out, Max.
Now, please.
Max, run!
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
Get him, Hobbs!
Are you kidding?
Look at him go.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
SAUNDERS: Use the car.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(RHYTHMIC BEEPING)
It's working.
Valerie Breuer, please.
Well, do you know where she is?
What about Oscar Goldman?
No, thanks.
I'll call back.
He's five kilometers
west of here.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
Send a man over to
Valerie Breuer's house.
Send a man to the OSI lab.
If you don't hear from Valerie
and Bobby in the next 20 minutes,
send out an APB.
Now what about the van?
Well, that's the first
step in the right direction.
Stay on it.
What did you find out?
Jaime, the citation that Bobby
got was put in the OSI computer.
Handwriting analysis tells
us that Hobbs is, in actuality,
a man called DeMarko,
a wanted felon.
He's our first lead.
I'm checking with our
underworld sources
to find out if we can
come up with something.
So they've got
Bobby and Val too, huh?
I don't know.
You have only one
choice, Ms. Breuer,
and that is to
cooperate with us fully.
I don't think so.
The only cooperation
I'm gonna give
is picking all of you
from a police lineup.
That's very amusing.
But not very realistic.
You may be willing to give
up your life for your country,
but are you certain you wanna make
that fatal decision for your nephew?
Point one kilometers north.
That's in the park.
(BARKING)
Max.
Are you all right? Are
you all right? Yeah.
I gotta get you home and
start phoning around for Val.
They're all worried about
you. Yeah. Come on. Let's go.
(BARKING)
What's the matter, Max?
(BARKING)
What are you trying to say?
(BARKING)
You know, a bionic Mynah bird
would make things a lot easier.
This better be good.
Smart dog is
making my life easy.
He's leading the kid
right back to the nest.
Val's car.
Hey now, Max, don't move.
You understand?
Stay, Max.
Well, that's all the
information I can give you.
Unless, of course, you
take me home to get my files.
We know you've been
involved in bionic surgery,
but you've deleted all
information concerning the muscle
and tissue rejection procedure.
I'm sorry, Dr. Sanders,
but that's not my field.
I know nothing about it.
Valerie, you're not
helping yourself.
I told you, Mr. Carson,
I know nothing
I heard what you told me.
Now you're going to hear me.
I'm through fooling around with
you. Do you understand that?
Yes. But it will
take some time!
Time is the one thing that you
don't have time to worry about.
Yes, this is Carson.
I hope we can do that.
Of course.
We're getting all of
the information now.
Yes, she's giving us
everything we need.
All right, now we're gonna
be through here in a few hours.
You have that plane ready
at 5:00, and remember,
it's 100,000 on delivery.
Don't worry about that. I'll have
Hobbs take care of the woman.
All right.
For sure.
I can't give you any more
variables than you've got right here.
(CHOKING) Val!
Forgot your leash
again, huh, kid?
Don't worry. I'll be
back for you shortly.
If the kid is here, the dog
led him. Scout around outside.
(WHIMPERING)
Well, whatever it was that jammed
that computer signal, it's gone now.
Max is five kilometers
west of here.
There's a map in
the car. Let's go.
(WHIMPERING)
So, the next step?
Yes.
Get rid of Breuer's car and
then meet us at the airport.
What about the two of them?
Use your imagination.
Good. I think we can find something
to keep them occupied for quite a while.
Max, untie us.
Come on, Max.
Max, untie us.
Come on, Max, untie us.
Come on, Max.
That's a good boy, Max.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
(WHIMPERING)
Come on, Val.
(WHISPERING)
Come on. Let's go.
Come on.
Okay. I'll go first. Now,
you wait right here. All right?
No. We go
as a family.
All right. I'll take care of it.
(FOOTSTEPS)
Carson! Hobbs!
Do we need the dog anymore?
No, we have all the
information we need.
Good, it's doggy heaven for him.
(BARKING)
Get the door, fast.
Come on.
Down the stairs.
HOBBS: Now we'll get them.
(BIONIC POWERS ACTIVATING)
Look out!
CARSON: Stop him!
Can you make it, Val? (GRUNTS
) Yeah. Do I have a choice?
They aren't going anywhere.
The gates are locked.
Where's Max?
I don't know.
BOBBY: Here he comes.
He's got their gun.
Come on.
Give me the gun.
Give me the gun.
Give me that.
Max, it's ruined.
BOBBY: Wait a minute.
Max can get us out of here.
Max, Max.
Max, break it.
Good boy,
Max. Hurry!
OSCAR: Stay where you
are, don't move. Right there.
HOBBS: Okay.
Okay. Don't shoot.
And you call yourself a dog.
(BARKING)
Hi, Max. How you doing?
BOBBY: Hey, don't
wash her face.
Come on, Max.
Lay off.
Oh, he's okay.
Hi. How are you?
(LAUGHS)
How did you get him up here?
The OSI moves in
mysterious ways, Jaime.
Oh. Yes.
You don't look any
the worse for wear, huh?
They've been taking
good care of you?
BOBBY: Hey, great care.
But we did come pretty
close to losing him.
Carson and Sanders
were very thorough.
That jamming device was an
extraordinary bit of engineering.
Yes. And tomorrow I'm gonna start
work on a system to defend against it.
Hey, you workaholic,
everybody's got to take a
rest now and then, you know.
Yeah.
Yes, but
No "yes, buts".
I mean, why don't you and
Bobby take atrip somewhere?
Yeah, a family vacation.
That does have
a nice sound to it.
You know, for the first time, I
really do feel like we're a family.
But who's gonna
take care of Max? Hey!
Who do you think?
VALERIE: Max.
