The Six Million Dollar Man (1974) s01e09 Episode Script
Dr. Wells is Missing
1 Guten abend.
May I help you? I'm Dr.
Wells.
I have a reservation.
Oh, Dr.
Wells! Just a minute, sir! Fräulein! Ja.
The call for Dr.
Wells? Have you disconnected? No.
He's here.
There is a call for you from the United States.
The operator will put it on the house phone.
Danke schÃn.
This is Dr.
Wells.
Rudy? Yes.
Oscar.
I just left you.
Is it something wrong? Is Steve all right? No, Steve's fine, he's right here.
Listen, I'm gonna put this call on the speaker.
Hey, Rudy.
How's the Alps? Beautiful, but you didn't call just to ask me how the Alps are, what's going on? Well, Oscar's still a little uneasy about your trip.
Still got the feeling, Rudy, gut instinct.
Youâre paranoid.
Paranoid? If something should happen to Steve, what are we gonna do without you? After all these years, my Alma mater decides to honor me with a doctorate and you try and turn it into a crisis.
Heâs jealous.
All he gets from his Alma Mater is a bill for yearly dues.
Look.
I'll be back in three days, so why don't you just relax, Oscar? Oh, and Steve Yeah.
Dr.
Lester's been briefed to replace the diode relay in the muscular flexors unless you want to wait for me to get back.
No, itâs working better today, Rudy.
I'll wait.
I'm still gonna place a call to our office in-- Why don't you stop worrying? Youâre worse than my mother.
Okay.
Okay.
I'll be back in the lab in three days, I'll talk to you then.
Right.
Now there is a stubborn man.
I offer to make a routine check, you know what he says? The Chancellor would be offended.
But you know, Oscar, I'm due for a little vacation myself.
What would be wrong if I dropped in on him? He couldn't object.
I was hoping you'd say that.
You may register right here, Dr.
Wells.
All right.
Hey, what are you doing? It looks good at NASA One.
Roger.
BCS Arm switch is on.
Okay, Victor.
Landing Rocket Arm switch is on.
Here comes the throttle.
Circuit breakers in.
We have separation.
Inboard and outboards are on.
I'm comin' forward with the side stick.
Looks good.
Ah, Roger.
I've got a blowout in damper three.
Get your pitch to zero.
Pitch is out.
I can't hold altitude! Correction.
Alpha Hold is off.
Threat selector is emergency.
Flight Com, I can't hold it! She's breaking up! She's breaking-- 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.
Pardon me.
Oh, guten tag.
How may I help you, sir? What room is Dr.
Wells in? Dr.
Wells? We have no one here by that name.
Are you sure? He checked in yesterday.
I'll check.
Oh, yes! He checked in last night and checked out three hours later.
He checked out? Yes, thatâs why I recall the incident.
The gentleman that picked up his things, said Dr.
Wells was to be his house guest.
The gentleman had the key to Dr.
Well's room and he paid the bill.
Is something wrong, sir? Well, I don't know.
Did you see him leave the hotel? It was a busy night.
Guests checking in, checking out.
I'm sorry, sir.
Thank you.
Pardon me, sir.
Yes, sir.
Were you here last night when this man checked out? Oh, hotel-- yes, I remember the American.
He was so drunk that his friends had to carry him to their car.
What kind of car? A Lagonda '36.
And you see, I like these cars.
See, I am very much interested, so I looked at the license plate and the license plate was from Northern Salzburg.
The city? Nah, nah, province It's-- I would say around Mondsee.
Thank you very much.
Hello, Signor Tucelli.
Yes, he's right here.
Yes? Signor Tucelli this is the desk clerk at the Otztal.
A man just asked about Dr.
Wells.
I told him nothing.
What man? He's an American.
That's all I know about him.
Let him inquire.
That's not all, sir.
The porter told him about the Lagonda and that it came from Mondsee.
That is unfortunate.
Tell Guido and Karl to see he doesn't get any closer.
Do you understand? Yes, sir.
Good.
Well, that's fascinating.
A few hours after we so carefully abduct you, a man shows up looking for you.
You see, Julio, I was right, otherwise they wouldnât send someone.
It still doesn't prove there's a bionic man.
Weâre wasting our time, Alfredo.
What do you say, Doctor? I've told you, I don't know anything about a bionic man.
Doctor, the people who told me about you wouldn't lie to me.
They wouldnât dare.
Now I don't understand anything about science or scientists but you are a man, Dr.
Wells, and I know how to get a man to cooperate with me.
What if he can make a bionic man for us? Then what? Everything is working fine now, Alfredo.
Julio with a bionic man, no bank vault is safe from us.
No walls, no steel bars, no guards can keep us out of anywhere.
Think of that! Now, let's have some lunch, I'm starved.
I'm not hungry.
You see, Yamo is right, you should eat something, Doctor.
And then you can look at our laboratory equipment.
Hello, are you the mechanic? Yes, what's the trouble? No trouble, I'm looking for old cars.
Old cars? Yes, I collect them.
We have many around this village Dusenbergs, some early Fiats, Bugattis, Lagondas, Citroëns I keep them all running.
Someone said there was a 1936 Lagonda in this area.
A touring sedan.
I'd pay a lot of money for a car like that.
I don't know any such car.
Well, I guess I'll have to ask somewhere else.
Thank you very much.
He asked about your Lagonda.
Yes he's an American.
Just a moment.
Doctor, your American friend has slipped through our trap.
How could he have gotten past Guido and Karl? What shall we do with him, Doctor? I don't know anything about him.
I'll send Kurt to take care of him.
No, no, not so fast, Julio.
Anton, keep an eye on him.
I want hourly reports on what's happening.
Check with the car rental agency in Innsbruck, thatâs where he started from.
And then find out what happened to Guido and Karl.
Well, Doctor, how do you like our laboratory equipment? I've been doing cancer research for the last two years your equipment is of no use to me.
Something more, mein Herr? No, I think that'll do it.
Excuse me, how would you say, "Stop watching him and get out here right away" in Austrian? Ah.
Beobachten Sie ihn jetzt nicht und komm sofort heraus.
Beobachten Sie ihn jetzt nicht und komm sofort heraus? Ja! Gut! I need some repair work done on my automobile.
Do you know the mechanic's name across the street? Oh, Anton! Anton Brandt.
Danke schÃn.
Bitte schÃn.
Hello.
Beobachten sie ihn jetzt nicht und komm sofort heraus.
Ja gut! Signor Tucelli, why don't you believe me? For the past few years I've specialized in cancer research and nothing more.
Honestly, I wish I could say that I was experimenting with the perfection of bionic limbs.
I'm running out of patience, Doctor.
I've tried to treat you with respect, but it seems-- I don't know what I can do to convince you that I'm not involved in anything like that.
Steve! Who is this man, Doctor? Oh, come on, Doctor.
You called him Steve.
He is obviously a friend of yours.
What do we care about the American? Julio, he got away from Guido and Karl.
That's not all, they both ended up in the hospital.
Then he tricked Anton, and somehow got over the castle wall.
How he managed that we still don't know.
Yeah, but Then he used the name John Smith when he rented the car in Innsbruck.
Now, don't you find that intriguing? So, he's a secret agent or something like that.
What's the difference? Why would a secret agent come searching for Dr.
Wells who is doing cancer research? He' s not gonna tell us anything anyway unless we let Yamo work him over.
Is that right, Doctor? I mean, is that really what you want? You're right.
I can make a bionic man for you.
Now you see, Julio.
There is another way to deal with an intelligent man.
I've done all the experiments but the government wouldnât let me go through with it.
That's why I went into cancer research.
So the man who came after you is a government agent.
He's an agent, but not for the government.
He represents an American Pharmaceutical company thatâs been after me to try and make a bionic man for them.
I know his first name is Steve, but that's all I know.
He keeps on using different last names.
He's followed me all over the world trying to get me to agree to leave the government and go to work for his company.
So what he wants is what we want, a bionic man.
That's right.
If you let me talk to him, I can explain that I've decided to work with you and he'll leave us alone.
You want us to let him go? Well, what good is he to you? I don't know.
You can watch me on the TV monitor.
You can hear everything I say.
I can convince him that I'm here because I want to be.
Once he knows that, he'll make no trouble.
Why is that man's life so important to you? I'm a doctor.
If I can prevent a man's death, I must do it.
And you can convince him you're here of your own volition? I'm sure I can.
All right, you may try.
I'm very disappointed he's just a business agent.
What do you mean? I had hoped he was the bionic man.
That he had rushed to the rescue of Dr.
Wells like a dog comes to the aid of his master.
You all right, Steve? Yeah, I guess.
I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble.
It's my fault, I should have told you no a long time ago.
I'm sorry I encouraged you to think that I'd leave the government and make a bionic man for your company.
But, Steve, I've made a deal to live here and to do my work for these people.
You made a deal? Yes.
Rudy, you guaranteed us if you went anywhere it'd be with our company.
Well, I know I did, but I changed my mind.
Well, how much did they give you? What's the difference how much, it's done.
How much? A lot more than your company offered.
I don't believe it.
You've got a right to be disappointed, you've spent a lot of time.
Look, I broke my neck chasing after you.
You should've given us a chance to meet their offer.
You owed us that.
You're right, I'm sorry.
But I went to school in this part of the world and I'll just be much happier working here living here.
Well, If you've made up your mind.
I have.
How do I get out of here? Well, you have a lot of work to do, Dr.
Wells.
I'll see to it that your friend gets back to the village.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
You're not taking me to the village, are you? No.
Why don't we just kill him? If I were a scientist, I would examine him to see if he is bionic.
As I lack that knowledge.
I have to be patient.
Look! I was right.
It is the bionic man.
He did come to his master's aid.
Look, Julio! Look! Nobody could be that strong.
A bionic man can.
That bionic man has that strength.
Come on.
His power is incredible.
Find him! All right, let's get Dr.
Wells! What's your bionic friend's name? Steve Austin.
Mr.
Austin! Mr.
Austin! We have Dr.
Wells! If you don't surrender, we'll have to kill him.
Ten seconds, Mr.
Austin.
That's all Dr.
Wells has.
If you don't surrender, my brother will kill him.
Just another five seconds, Mr.
Austin! Fourthree twoone.
I'm over here! Mr.
Austin, we saw the way you broke loose from the chains.
It's remarkable.
Incredible.
Dr.
Wells, your bionic man is a colossal achievement.
And still you have a heart.
When your master is in danger, you come running, regardless of the danger.
I find that very touching, Mr.
Austin.
You see? They're looking at you like savages staring at a ferocious animal just before a kill.
They want to see how good you are, Mr.
Austin and so do I.
So, first thing in the morning we'll see how good he is.
How fast? How strong? Whether you are better than two men or three men.
Come! Well, Mr.
Austin, you're probably just as curious as I am.
Yeah, about what? About how strong you really are.
Where would you say the scales would tip? Are you stronger than two men? Three? Four? Well, I hate to brag.
Of course, of course, of course.
One thing.
Don't hold back.
If this is to be a contest, a fair contest, don't hold back on us.
Don't worry.
I won't.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Well, we'd better get out of here.
I'll try not to let you down, Coach.
Pierre! You're first.
Pierre is an expert in the French art of savate.
Not bad, Mr.
Austin! Not bad at all! Now let's see how you do against two men.
Kurt.
Vincent.
That bionic arm is marvelous, Dr.
Wells, it's marvelous.
Yamo.
Whoa! His bionic arm! Yamo, you broke it! No! No! No! Leave him alone! Stop it! He's too valuable! Leave him alone! Stop it, I said! Stop it! Come on.
Did he hit your bionic leg or your real one? What? Was it your bionic leg that was injured? If it was my bionic leg, it wouldnât hurt like this.
One bionic leg and one arm? And his left eye.
What does his eye do? It's like a zoom lens on a camera.
A zoom lens? Amazing.
I don't know, Alfredo.
What's the good of him? He's got the bionic arm, but it's not good now.
I can repair the arm.
Oh, yes, I'm sure you can, Doctor.
But, he is not one of our people.
If you were to make Vincent or Kurt or Yamo into a bionic man we wouldnât have to worry.
But he? He wonât follow my orders.
I don't think that we have any use for him, Doctor.
There's one way.
What way? There are drugs that can make him do whatever you want.
He's right, Alfredo.
Get me 10 ccs of dexothol.
After I've injected it into him, he'll follow your instructions to the letter.
You would do that to your creation, to your friend? To stop you from killing him yes.
What's that? Dexothol.
Subconscious control? Mm-hmm.
You sold out.
I'm staying alive and so are you.
Why into the leg? I need the heaviest muscle for anything over five ccs.
He'll be ready for suggestive control in 20 minutes.
I'll start preparations to repair his arm.
Stay with him, Yamo.
Doctor, I don't trust you and I probably never will.
Reaction to the shot.
You'd better steady his leg until the muscle relaxes.
I think you overdid that twitching a bit.
I did? What about that ham performance you gave when you were talking about making that deal? Well, I just said the first thing that popped into my mind.
Yeah, well, I appreciate it.
It probably saved my life.
Well, I got a lot of time and effort in you, Steve, I didn't want it to go to waste.
Well, let's get out of here.
Now what? Now what do we do? I'll decoy them, you get in the Jeep, head for the gates and I'll have them open for you.
Okay.
Go after him! Find him! They're catching up.
It's on the floorboard now.
We can't go any faster.
Slow down when you come to the next fork.
What for? I'm getting out.
Oh, come on, Steve.
Don't argue! Just slow down.
Oh, no, come on! There's Austin.
Forget about the doctor and run Austin down! How fast is he going? I can't believe it! He's doing 35.
Run him down! He's doing 40 now! 45! That's impossible.
Hang on! 50! 60! He's doing better than 60.
Good, he's headed straight for the cliff.
That'll stop him.
Where'd he go? He must be hiding along the cliff.
Yamo! Get him! So the Tucellis were the ones whoâd set it up and the Chancellor was surprised when I stopped in to see him.
He confessed they never thought of honoring me with a doctorate.
He said they might've had I made the breakthrough in bionics.
Rudy, I'm sorry youâre not getting the acclaim you deserve that your work has to be classified top secret.
Oh, I appreciate what you're saying, Oscar, and I'm not being humble but my reward is in seeing Steve function.
Not his extraordinary powers, but just living day to day.
How's his arm? Fine.
While I had him in the operating room I replaced the diode relay.
The new one will last much longer.
What about the Tucellis? They're in custody.
Metropole is very interested in their actions.
Hi, Steve! Hi, Oscar.
Hey, Rudy, I've been looking all over for you.
Now, what's up? Something the matter? No, but I've got this little problem.
Huh? It's kind of embarrassing.
What is? This I think I need a little adjustment.
May I help you? I'm Dr.
Wells.
I have a reservation.
Oh, Dr.
Wells! Just a minute, sir! Fräulein! Ja.
The call for Dr.

There is a call for you from the United States.
The operator will put it on the house phone.

Is it something wrong? Is Steve all right? No, Steve's fine, he's right here.
Listen, I'm gonna put this call on the speaker.
Hey, Rudy.
How's the Alps? Beautiful, but you didn't call just to ask me how the Alps are, what's going on? Well, Oscar's still a little uneasy about your trip.
Still got the feeling, Rudy, gut instinct.
Youâre paranoid.
Paranoid? If something should happen to Steve, what are we gonna do without you? After all these years, my Alma mater decides to honor me with a doctorate and you try and turn it into a crisis.

Wells! What's your bionic friend's name? Steve Austin.
Mr.
Austin! Mr.
Austin! We have Dr.
Wells! If you don't surrender, we'll have to kill him.
Ten seconds, Mr.
Austin.
That's all Dr.
Wells has.
If you don't surrender, my brother will kill him.
Just another five seconds, Mr.
Austin! Fourthree twoone.
I'm over here! Mr.
Austin, we saw the way you broke loose from the chains.
It's remarkable.
Incredible.
Dr.
Wells, your bionic man is a colossal achievement.
And still you have a heart.
When your master is in danger, you come running, regardless of the danger.
I find that very touching, Mr.
Austin.
You see? They're looking at you like savages staring at a ferocious animal just before a kill.
They want to see how good you are, Mr.
Austin and so do I.
So, first thing in the morning we'll see how good he is.
How fast? How strong? Whether you are better than two men or three men.
Come! Well, Mr.
Austin, you're probably just as curious as I am.
Yeah, about what? About how strong you really are.
Where would you say the scales would tip? Are you stronger than two men? Three? Four? Well, I hate to brag.
Of course, of course, of course.
One thing.
Don't hold back.
If this is to be a contest, a fair contest, don't hold back on us.
Don't worry.
I won't.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Well, we'd better get out of here.
I'll try not to let you down, Coach.
Pierre! You're first.
Pierre is an expert in the French art of savate.
Not bad, Mr.
Austin! Not bad at all! Now let's see how you do against two men.
Kurt.
Vincent.
That bionic arm is marvelous, Dr.
Wells, it's marvelous.
Yamo.
Whoa! His bionic arm! Yamo, you broke it! No! No! No! Leave him alone! Stop it! He's too valuable! Leave him alone! Stop it, I said! Stop it! Come on.
Did he hit your bionic leg or your real one? What? Was it your bionic leg that was injured? If it was my bionic leg, it wouldnât hurt like this.
One bionic leg and one arm? And his left eye.
What does his eye do? It's like a zoom lens on a camera.
A zoom lens? Amazing.
I don't know, Alfredo.
What's the good of him? He's got the bionic arm, but it's not good now.
I can repair the arm.
Oh, yes, I'm sure you can, Doctor.
But, he is not one of our people.
If you were to make Vincent or Kurt or Yamo into a bionic man we wouldnât have to worry.
But he? He wonât follow my orders.
I don't think that we have any use for him, Doctor.
There's one way.
What way? There are drugs that can make him do whatever you want.
He's right, Alfredo.
Get me 10 ccs of dexothol.
After I've injected it into him, he'll follow your instructions to the letter.
You would do that to your creation, to your friend? To stop you from killing him yes.
What's that? Dexothol.
Subconscious control? Mm-hmm.
You sold out.
I'm staying alive and so are you.
Why into the leg? I need the heaviest muscle for anything over five ccs.
He'll be ready for suggestive control in 20 minutes.
I'll start preparations to repair his arm.
Stay with him, Yamo.
Doctor, I don't trust you and I probably never will.
Reaction to the shot.
You'd better steady his leg until the muscle relaxes.
I think you overdid that twitching a bit.
I did? What about that ham performance you gave when you were talking about making that deal? Well, I just said the first thing that popped into my mind.
Yeah, well, I appreciate it.
It probably saved my life.
Well, I got a lot of time and effort in you, Steve, I didn't want it to go to waste.
Well, let's get out of here.
Now what? Now what do we do? I'll decoy them, you get in the Jeep, head for the gates and I'll have them open for you.
Okay.
Go after him! Find him! They're catching up.
It's on the floorboard now.
We can't go any faster.
Slow down when you come to the next fork.
What for? I'm getting out.
Oh, come on, Steve.
Don't argue! Just slow down.
Oh, no, come on! There's Austin.
Forget about the doctor and run Austin down! How fast is he going? I can't believe it! He's doing 35.
Run him down! He's doing 40 now! 45! That's impossible.
Hang on! 50! 60! He's doing better than 60.
Good, he's headed straight for the cliff.
That'll stop him.
Where'd he go? He must be hiding along the cliff.
Yamo! Get him! So the Tucellis were the ones whoâd set it up and the Chancellor was surprised when I stopped in to see him.
He confessed they never thought of honoring me with a doctorate.
He said they might've had I made the breakthrough in bionics.
Rudy, I'm sorry youâre not getting the acclaim you deserve that your work has to be classified top secret.
Oh, I appreciate what you're saying, Oscar, and I'm not being humble but my reward is in seeing Steve function.
Not his extraordinary powers, but just living day to day.
How's his arm? Fine.
While I had him in the operating room I replaced the diode relay.
The new one will last much longer.
What about the Tucellis? They're in custody.
Metropole is very interested in their actions.
Hi, Steve! Hi, Oscar.
Hey, Rudy, I've been looking all over for you.
Now, what's up? Something the matter? No, but I've got this little problem.
Huh? It's kind of embarrassing.
What is? This I think I need a little adjustment.
