The Six Million Dollar Man (1974–1978): Season 4, Episode 1 - The Return of Bigfoot - full transcript
Steve Austin becomes a suspect after series of burglaries that can only be accomplished with bionic strength are committed. As Austin begins to have vague memories of his encounter with Bigfoot, he is approached by Gillian, one of the alien travelers. She explains that one of her own, Nedlick, has formed a splinter group intend on world domination and is now using Sasquash to commit robberies in order to gain wealth.

(RUMBLING)
Hi, Steve.
The O.S.I. was monitoring
the police channels as usual...
when we heard about this.
No explosive?
None.
What do you think?
Well, if I didn't know better, I would think
a bionic man came through here.
You haven't gone into business
for yourself, have you, pal?
That's not funny.
How much was stolen, anyway?
Twenty-one gold bars.
That's about 500 pounds.
That's an awful lot of weight
for somebody to tote out of here.
It's an awful lot of money, too.
Over a million dollars.
I'll have a look around outside.
(BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT)
TOM (VO).' The creature of legend
that roams the timberfine.
My people named him Sasquatch.
You call him... Bigfoot.

ANNOUNCER:
Steve Austin. Astronaut.
A man barely alive.
Gentlemen, we can rebuild him.
We have the technology.
We have the capability
to make the world's first bionic man.
Steve Austin will be that man.
Better than he was before.
Better, stronger, faster.

Give me a read out
on today's work.
That's enough for now.
Let's head in.
The synapse circuitry seems
a little slow. You notice it?
No.
Hi.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm okay.
How's your 10,000 mile
checkup doing?
Fine.
Oscar, I think something's
bothering Steve.
What do you mean?
I don't know. Maybe it's me, but...
He's been acting so strange.
Kind of distant, you know?
The last few days?
Yes, I've noticed that too.
What do you think it is?
I don't know.
(DOOR OPENS)
Maybe...
Oh, Hi, Jaime.
Hi.
Jaime.
Hi.
It's good to see you.
Thanks.
Hi, Oscar.
Steve? Um...
Have I done something
to upset you?
No, why?
Well, I don't know,
you just seem kind of...
preoccupied these days.
I was wondering what
was on your mind.
Let me show you something.
Oh, wow. Who's foot is that?
The Indians say it's
the print of the Sasquatch.
We found it in the northern
California mountains last year.
Right. That's the Sasquatch
is the, uh...
The legendary creature
that the white men named Bigfoot.
Right, and I can see why
they call him Bigfoot.
Did you actually get to see
the creature that made that thing?
No, we never saw it, Jaime.
(EERIE MUSIC)
What's the matter?
I don't know. It's... it's like
there's something there.
Like I can almost remember,
but not quite.
It's frustrating.
Hmph. Tell me about it.
I'm the one who wrote the book
on partial memory, remember?
Yeah.
Why don't we go out
and take your mind off it, huh?
I know. We could go
for a walk or something.
Hey, make it a bionic run,
will you?
I could check your heart pulse
when you get back.
Slave driver.
How about it?
Sure.
Okay.
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(CLICK, ELECTRONIC WHIRR)
What's the matter?
I don't know. I was running
with someone else. Bionically.
Um, when?
I don't know.
Well, Steve, there just aren't any
other women you run around with.
Bionically, anyway.
I know, but...
(BIONIC EAR SOUND EFFECT)
(CLICKING SOUND)
What is it?
I just heard something up there.
Can you see anything?
(BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT)
(CLICK, ELECTRONIC WHIRR)
Uh, there's nothing up there to see.
(ELECTRONIC WHIRRING)
How did you...?
Please, forgive me Colonel Austin.
But I need your help desperately.
Where did you come from?
I know you weren't just
hiding under the table.
My name is Gillian.
Colonel Austin, you won't
remember my people...
and my powers to restore
your memory are severely limited.
But if you'll close your eyes, I can...
Wait a minute.
Please, Colonel Austin,
you must trust me.
I can explain why this footprint
has been troubling you.
It's extremely important,
Colonel Austin.
Many of my people may die.
Many of your people, too.
Please.
Alright.
Now close your eyes...
and concentrate intensely.
I will remind you of what happened.
In the California mountains last year...
you encountered the Sasquatch.
We sent him to test
your strength...
and you were an admirable
match for him.
You discovered that his construction
was similar to your own.
You followed him to our complex
where we subdued you...
and tested your abilities further.
SHALON: Right leg and right foot
definitely nyosynthenic.
Or perhaps 1st generation bionic.
Mergeron?
No, nuclear.
Also left leg and left foot.
Then our leaders
introduced themselves.
I am Apploy.
I am Shalon.
Shalon....
Do you remember Shalon?
Yes, I think so.
It was Shalon who
sent me to find you.
Do you remember who we are?
APPLOY: We're a group
of deep space explorers.
Yes.
Then there was an earthquake.
You and the Sasquatch
dug down to our volcanic vent...
you restored our power
and saved our complex.
Ground the cable first!
The gold junction box over there!
STEVE: What do you think?
SHALON: He'll be alright.
The Neotraxin will ward off
any infection or disease.
It even helps speed up
the recovery.
He should've died
from all those wounds.
That's really magical stuff.
Then we erased your memory of us.
You will not be forgotten.
Wish I could say the same.
Do you remember now?
Yeah. Parts of it.
I mean, I can feel it happened...
but it still feels like
it was all a dream.
And what I can't understand is
how you just appeared here.
With this.
It's a Time Line Converter.
A TLC.
It allows us to move faster or slower
through time than the objects around us...
so we can apparently disappear...
and appear somewhere else.
We can't go through locked doors...
but we can go through unlocked
ones so fast you can't see us.
I know all of this must be very
difficult for you to grasp suddenly...
but we need your help badly.
Why? What's happened?
Some of our people...
under one named Nedlik,
have broken away from us.
They radioed our mother ship
that our complex was contaminated...
and to abandon all of us.
But why would they
want to be left here?
They want to enjoy the fruits of this
planet and have dominion over it.
The Sasquatch tore our power converter.
There was a burst of radiation.
Many people were badly injured.
Shalon?
Yes. That's why she
wanted me to find you.
Will you help us?
Please?
I'll try.
At least the bionic gold robbery
makes sense now.
Bigfoot must have broken in there.
Yes.
Do you have any idea where they are now?
Or what their next move might be?
No.
I think that should be more than
enough gold, don't you, Nedlik?
For now, yes.
Listen, Nedlik, our power cells
are running very low.
Everything is proceeding
according to plan, Faler.
How much longer will
we have to stay in this hole?
As soon as we gather
the three remaining items...
we will be able to
establish our new base.
And how long will that be?
You said that once we left
the San Angelo complex...
the earth and all of its riches
would be at our feet.
Your lack of patience
is extremely trying, Faler.
Listen, Nedlik, it's not just me.
There are others I've talked to who...
Sasquatch.
(SOFT GROWL)
Put it down. Come here.
(LOUD BANG)
(SOFT GROWL)
Faler, Let's be clear on two points.
Lam the leader here...
and with the help of the Sasquatch
our new base will be established.
Then what ever we want on
this planet will be ours. Alright?
Dallett?
I want you to come
with the Sasquatch and me.
It's time to attack our new target.
You're sure we can
rely on the Sasquatch?
Quite sure.
I have my ways.
(SOFT GROWL)
(SOFT GROWL)
That's it, Sasquatch.
The emeralds.
(SOFT GROWL)
Someone is coming.
I want no witnesses.
Prepare to attack him.
I said attack.
(LOUD TONE)
Do as you are told or your friend
Shalon will get the same treatment.
That's very effective, but you really
couldn't hurt Shalon, could you?
No, of course not, but the stupid
animal doesn't know that.
And it makes him very obedient.
(ROARS)
Sasquatch, return now.
(GROANS)
Steve, look how this vault door
was torn open. Look at that.
Looks like whoever hit the gold
depository hit here too.
Only this time the thief came and went
through this third story window.
You got any ideas?
Uh, No.
You sure?
That's really strange, isn't it?
Yes, really is strange.
Listen, there's nothing more I can do here.
I'm gonna go back to the ranch.
Gotta meet somebody.
If anything turns up, let me know.
I'll do that.
GILLIAN: They only stole emeralds?
Yes, but they left behind
a fortune in diamonds.
Now why would they do that?
I'm not sure.
But I do know that jewels can be
used in a lot of other ways.
You know, like watches
and electronic components.
See, I don't think they stole the gold
and emeralds for their value...
but to use in some kind
of electronic device.
Well, Shalon may be able to tell us.
She's an electronic genius.
(ELECTRONIC WHIRR)
It's not gonna work.
Nedlik took the power converter.
Our transmission strength is very low.
Would a larger antenna help?
It might.
Would this work?
Well, it might.
It needs to be triangular.
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
Try that.
(ELECTRONIC WHIRR)
Apploy, this is Gillian.
Can you hear me?
Yes, just barely, Gillian.
Have you contacted Colonel Austin?
Yes, he's here...
but we need Shalon's help.
How is she?
She's not well. Wait a moment.
Speak to them.
(ROMANTIC MUSIC)
Hello, Steve Austin.
Shalon. Are you alright?
Yes, I'm as well as can be expected
under the circumstances.
It's good to see you again...
even this way.
Yes, it is.
We must talk quickly, though.
Our power level is very low.
Have you located my Sasquatch?
No.
Nedlik and his people have used him
to steal some gold and some emeralds.
Colonel Austin thinks that they
may be planning to use them...
in the construction of some kind
of an electronic device.
GILLIAN: Could that be it?
Gold? Emeralds?
Oh, no.
What is it?
Gold and emeralds are two
of the elements needed...
to construct a phase lock magniton.
What is that?
It's a device that can create
an impenetrable field...
of magnetic force around their base.
You mean that nobody
could attack them?
I'm afraid so.
And then with our advanced technology,
they'd be free to loot and pillage...
and demand whatever
they wished of your planet.
Shalon, you said two of the elements
they needed were gold and emeralds.
What's the third one?
The third element...
is a rare isotope of
radioactive Boron Three.
And then they need...
a small amount of extremely
dense titanium alloy.
I guess we'll have to
try and stop them.
Is there anything we
can do for you?
Yes. Just get our power converter
back to us as quickly as possible.
Our complex here is dying.
Are you taking the Neotraxin?
The drug is in very short
supply here now, Gillian.
Shalon, you must take it.
Yes, yes. I will.
Thank you for helping us, Steve.
You are our only hope now.
(ELECTRONIC WHIRR)
I wonder where they'd look
for the Boron isotope?
The nearest place would be the
San Carlos Nuclear Research facility.
If they follow their pattern,
they'll probably hit there tonight.
And we'll be waiting for them?
The isotope storage unit
is through there.
I'm gonna go on in.
GILLIAN: Be careful.
You can count on it.
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
What's happening?
Why doesn't he attack?
I don't know.
Attack, Sasquatch.
Attack.
Now take it easy.
We're friends, remember?
Let's keep it that way.
Sasquatch, Attack. Or you know
what happens to Shalon!
How did he know
that we'd be here?
Nedlik.
Of course.
Gillian. Go get her.
Alright.

Alright, freeze, mister!
Hit the deck! Come on! Hit the deck!
Wait a minute, I'm Colonel Steve Austin.
I don't care if you're Nelson Rockefeller.
Hit the deck. Come on.
(CLICK, ELECTRONIC WHIR)
Hi. Is Colonel Austin in here?
Yes, ma'am.
But no one's allowed in.
(BIONIC EAR SOUND EFFECT)
OSCAR: and the
National Security Bureau...
the Secretary, they're all over me!
Can't say that I blame them,
Colonel Austin.
Look at this record.
Three criminal acts.
All worth a lot of money and all with the
absolute evidence of bionics.
And now you're caught
at the scene of the third crime...
with one guard saying, quote...
"That he saw you throw
a steel drum on him."
Do you believe that?
I don't wanna believe it,
but who else could throw a steel drum?
Oscar, I didn't throw it at him. I...
Are you gonna tell us
what happened?
We're trying to help.
I promised to keep it a secret.
Anything you say stays with us.
Steve.
Trust us.
STEVE: I guess you're right.
If I can't trust you two...
RUDY: You know you can.
STEVE: You're not gonna believe it.
In the California mountains,
there's a colony of aliens.
Explorers from deep space.
Space people?
RUDY: In the mountains? Where?
STEVE: I don't know exactly,
but they've been here for 250 years.
They can move forward
in time in the blink of an eye.
They also control the Sasquatch.
Bigfoot?
That's right.
But a group of rebels broke away
from the main complex.
They took the Sasquatch with them.
They've been using Bigfoot
to steal these materials...
to create some sort of magnetic
force field around their new base...
to make it invulnerable.
I told you you wouldn't believe it.
Oscar, remember last year, that day
I disappeared in the mountains?
Yes.
STEVE: Bigfoot took me to the complex.
I met these people.
I talked with them.
Well, why didn't you tell me
about it then, Steve?
Because they erased my memory.
RUDY: Erased your memory?
Look, I know it all sounds crazy,
but it's true.
Wait a minute.
They gave me some of their wonder drug.
It could cure almost all diseases
and help heal injuries in no time.
They called it Neotraxin.
What happened to it?
I gave it to you, to give to Rudy
to have it analyzed.
RUDY: I don't remember
too much about that.
I... I do remember that
I was worried about you.
You had a head injury
during an earthquake.
There's nothing wrong
with my head then or now!
Now, Steve, how come
you can remember this now?
Because they sent this
woman named Gillian...
to ask me to try and help them.
And she can move through
time like you say.
Yes!
Maybe we can meet her.
But she must've been captured by the rebels
when the Boron Three was stolen.
STEVE: Wait a minute.
Now there's proof for you.
I was taken prisoner,
yet the Boron Three was still stolen.
National Security Bureau
had us check on that.
RUDY: Boron Three leaves
a radioactive infrared trace.
Our instruments picked up a trail which
led outside the compound and stopped.
Well that's right,
because Bigfoot carried it out.
Then the rebels must've taken it...
using their TLCs,
traveling much faster than normal.
Which means that the infrared trail must
still be there, but much fainter than normal.
STEVE: Isn't that possible, Rudy?
Well....
Of course it is, and I can
trace it with my eye.
All I need is a helicopter.
Can't do that, Steve.
The National Security Bureau
asked me to turn down your bionics.
What?
Oscar's been fighting
with them all morning.
The only thing they'll agree upon is
to keep you here under house arrest.
Look, there's no time for that.
You two have got to trust me.
No, I guess you don't have to trust me.
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
Steve!
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
You are going to trust him.
What is the status of the magniton?
We're well into stage 3.
Just about to integrate the Boron isotope.
Excellent.
(ELECTRONIC WHIRR)
Well, you were apparently correct.
It looks as if Austin's own people
are blaming him for our thefts.
I saw him escape from them,
and he's coming here now in a helicopter.
Probably following the Boron traces.
Good.
Good?
Yes, we'll let Colonel Austin
take the blame one last time...
and to use that quaint Earth expression...
we'll kill two birds with one stone.
Sasquatch, come here.
(SOFT GROWL)
(BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT)
Listen, Nedlik, Austin must be
less than 100 miles away by now.
I'd estimate 80.
Go back to the task I assigned you.
Everything's under control.
Where is Nedlik planning
to establish his new base?
I don't know or care
as long as it's away from here.
What's in here?
Stay out of it.
It's Neotraxin.
How much of the drug did
you take from the complex?
I don't know.
You must've taken almost all of it!
So... Hey! Come back here!
Nedlik, do you know how
much Neotraxin you have?
Yes.
Well, you have to give
at least some of it back!
No. We may need it in the future.
But Shalon and many others need it now.
They will die without it.
Do I have to listen to this trivia?
Take her away from me.
Please, Nedlik!
It's the only thing that will... No!
Please! It's the only thing...
Sedate her if you must.
And Austin is probably
almost on top of us.
That boron trail...
Will take him right where we want him.
What?
Alright, Faler, if it will make you
more comfortable to know the plan...
we've eradicated the trail
that leads to here.
Dallett, you and the others will move to
the new permanent base of operations.
As soon as you get there, you will drill
the volcanic vent to power the base...
and also the phase lock magniton.
What about you?
The Sasquatch and I will leave a new
boron trail for Colonel Austin to follow.
Right to the security area where
we will acquire the Titanium Alloy.
The final element which is
necessary to make us invulnerable.
There, Colonel Austin will have his
final encounter with the Sasquatch...
whose strength I have just increased.
(HIGH-PITCHED TONE)
(CLICK, ELECTRONIC WHIR)
Now, when Colonel Austin
tries to stop you...
you will attack and kill him.
Is that understood?
You will do as I say, otherwise
Shalon will die by electrocution.
Is that clear?
Very well.
Go and get the titanium alloy.
(SOFT GROWL)
(SASQUATCH SOUND EFFECT)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECTS)
I told you to attack him!
(SOFT GROWL)
Attack!
NEDLIK: Attack, Sasquatch!
Attack!
(SOFT GROWL)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(LOUD BANG)
Attack, Sasquatch...
or Shalon will die
at the San Angelo complex.
San Angelo?
NEDLIK: Attack!
Sasquatch, attack!

(BIONIC SOUND EFFECTS)
(DOOR WHIRS)
Very well done, Sasquatch.
Now we have everything we need
to make our new base invulnerable.
No one can stop us now.
(SOFT GROWL)
NEDLIK: Return immediately.
Oscar, how's Steve?
Not good.
Rudy's been in surgery with him
since before I called you.
What is all this junk about him stealing
gold and jewels and whatever else?
I don't want to believe it's true,
but I can't help facing the facts.
Come on.
Jaime, I think there's something
wrong with his mind.
He tore through one
of our storage areas...
and seriously injured himself.
Steve injured himself?
Oscar, what about the
story that he told you?
About these people. Uh...
From outer space?
Up in the mountains?
Alright, I know. It's sounds
a little crazy to me, too.
But Steve said they were there.
Suppose they are there.
Suppose they're there up in the mountains.
There's 6,000 miles
of country up there.
Where do you suppose
we should start, huh? Rudy.
How's Steve?
He's bad.
The nuclear cells that
power the bionics burst.
He took a severe
dose of radiation.
I don't think he'll make it.
What?
Is ... is he conscious?
No.
He may never regain it.
There's probably not much more
than 24 hours left.
Can I see him?
Yeah.
(STEADY BEEP)
Oh, Steve.
STEVE: Jaime.
Jaime.
Steve?
(BIONIC EAR SOUND EFFECT)
STEVE: Jaime.
I can hear you.
Many... will die...
unless...
Unless what, Steve?
We find... Shalon.
She'll...
help...
maybe...
stop them.
Steve, this wonder drug you said
that they had, if I could get it...
could it save you?
Can you tell me where to look?
Fault.
A fault... line.
San Angelo.
Jaime...
Jaime.
Steve, I'm here.
Beware... the Sasquatch.
Much stronger...
than we are.
What?
Hurry... Jaime.
Not... not...
much... time.
Steve?
Ste...

Hey, make it a bionic run,
will you?
I could check your heart pulse
when you get back.
Slave driver.
How about it?
Sure.
Okay.
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(CLICK, ELECTRONIC WHIRR)
What's the matter?
I don't know. I was running
with someone else. Bionically.
Um, when?
I don't know.
Well, Steve, there just aren't any
other women you run around with.
Bionically, anyway.
I know, but...
(BIONIC EAR SOUND EFFECT)
(CLICKING SOUND)
What is it?
I just heard something up there.
Can you see anything?
(BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT)
(CLICK, ELECTRONIC WHIRR)
Uh, there's nothing up there to see.
(ELECTRONIC WHIRRING)
How did you...?
Please, forgive me Colonel Austin.
But I need your help desperately.
Where did you come from?
I know you weren't just
hiding under the table.
My name is Gillian.
Colonel Austin, you won't
remember my people...
and my powers to restore
your memory are severely limited.
But if you'll close your eyes, I can...
Wait a minute.
Please, Colonel Austin,
you must trust me.
I can explain why this footprint
has been troubling you.
It's extremely important,
Colonel Austin.
Many of my people may die.
Many of your people, too.
Please.
Alright.
Now close your eyes...
and concentrate intensely.
I will remind you of what happened.
In the California mountains last year...
you encountered the Sasquatch.
We sent him to test
your strength...
and you were an admirable
match for him.
You discovered that his construction
was similar to your own.
You followed him to our complex
where we subdued you...
and tested your abilities further.
SHALON: Right leg and right foot
definitely nyosynthenic.
Or perhaps 1st generation bionic.
Mergeron?
No, nuclear.
Also left leg and left foot.
Then our leaders
introduced themselves.
I am Apploy.
I am Shalon.
Shalon....
Do you remember Shalon?
Yes, I think so.
It was Shalon who
sent me to find you.
Do you remember who we are?
APPLOY: We're a group
of deep space explorers.
Yes.
Then there was an earthquake.
You and the Sasquatch
dug down to our volcanic vent...
you restored our power
and saved our complex.
Ground the cable first!
The gold junction box over there!
STEVE: What do you think?
SHALON: He'll be alright.
The Neotraxin will ward off
any infection or disease.
It even helps speed up
the recovery.
He should've died
from all those wounds.
That's really magical stuff.
Then we erased your memory of us.
You will not be forgotten.
Wish I could say the same.
Do you remember now?
Yeah. Parts of it.
I mean, I can feel it happened...
but it still feels like
it was all a dream.
And what I can't understand is
how you just appeared here.
With this.
It's a Time Line Converter.
A TLC.
It allows us to move faster or slower
through time than the objects around us...
so we can apparently disappear...
and appear somewhere else.
We can't go through locked doors...
but we can go through unlocked
ones so fast you can't see us.
I know all of this must be very
difficult for you to grasp suddenly...
but we need your help badly.
Why? What's happened?
Some of our people...
under one named Nedlik,
have broken away from us.
They radioed our mother ship
that our complex was contaminated...
and to abandon all of us.
But why would they
want to be left here?
They want to enjoy the fruits of this
planet and have dominion over it.
The Sasquatch tore our power converter.
There was a burst of radiation.
Many people were badly injured.
Shalon?
Yes. That's why she
wanted me to find you.
Will you help us?
Please?
I'll try.
At least the bionic gold robbery
makes sense now.
Bigfoot must have broken in there.
Yes.
Do you have any idea where they are now?
Or what their next move might be?
No.
I think that should be more than
enough gold, don't you, Nedlik?
For now, yes.
Listen, Nedlik, our power cells
are running very low.
Everything is proceeding
according to plan, Faler.
How much longer will
we have to stay in this hole?
As soon as we gather
the three remaining items...
we will be able to
establish our new base.
And how long will that be?
You said that once we left
the San Angelo complex...
the earth and all of its riches
would be at our feet.
Your lack of patience
is extremely trying, Faler.
Listen, Nedlik, it's not just me.
There are others I've talked to who...
Sasquatch.
(SOFT GROWL)
Put it down. Come here.
(LOUD BANG)
(SOFT GROWL)
Faler, Let's be clear on two points.
Lam the leader here...
and with the help of the Sasquatch
our new base will be established.
Then what ever we want on
this planet will be ours. Alright?
Dallett?
I want you to come
with the Sasquatch and me.
It's time to attack our new target.
You're sure we can
rely on the Sasquatch?
Quite sure.
I have my ways.
(SOFT GROWL)
(SOFT GROWL)
That's it, Sasquatch.
The emeralds.
(SOFT GROWL)
Someone is coming.
I want no witnesses.
Prepare to attack him.
I said attack.
(LOUD TONE)
Do as you are told or your friend
Shalon will get the same treatment.
That's very effective, but you really
couldn't hurt Shalon, could you?
No, of course not, but the stupid
animal doesn't know that.
And it makes him very obedient.
(ROARS)
Sasquatch, return now.
(GROANS)
Steve, look how this vault door
was torn open. Look at that.
Looks like whoever hit the gold
depository hit here too.
Only this time the thief came and went
through this third story window.
You got any ideas?
Uh, No.
You sure?
That's really strange, isn't it?
Yes, really is strange.
Listen, there's nothing more I can do here.
I'm gonna go back to the ranch.
Gotta meet somebody.
If anything turns up, let me know.
I'll do that.
GILLIAN: They only stole emeralds?
Yes, but they left behind
a fortune in diamonds.
Now why would they do that?
I'm not sure.
But I do know that jewels can be
used in a lot of other ways.
You know, like watches
and electronic components.
See, I don't think they stole the gold
and emeralds for their value...
but to use in some kind
of electronic device.
Well, Shalon may be able to tell us.
She's an electronic genius.
(ELECTRONIC WHIRR)
It's not gonna work.
Nedlik took the power converter.
Our transmission strength is very low.
Would a larger antenna help?
It might.
Would this work?
Well, it might.
It needs to be triangular.
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
Try that.
(ELECTRONIC WHIRR)
Apploy, this is Gillian.
Can you hear me?
Yes, just barely, Gillian.
Have you contacted Colonel Austin?
Yes, he's here...
but we need Shalon's help.
How is she?
She's not well. Wait a moment.
Speak to them.
(ROMANTIC MUSIC)
Hello, Steve Austin.
Shalon. Are you alright?
Yes, I'm as well as can be expected
under the circumstances.
It's good to see you again...
even this way.
Yes, it is.
We must talk quickly, though.
Our power level is very low.
Have you located my Sasquatch?
No.
Nedlik and his people have used him
to steal some gold and some emeralds.
Colonel Austin thinks that they
may be planning to use them...
in the construction of some kind
of an electronic device.
GILLIAN: Could that be it?
Gold? Emeralds?
Oh, no.
What is it?
Gold and emeralds are two
of the elements needed...
to construct a phase lock magniton.
What is that?
It's a device that can create
an impenetrable field...
of magnetic force around their base.
You mean that nobody
could attack them?
I'm afraid so.
And then with our advanced technology,
they'd be free to loot and pillage...
and demand whatever
they wished of your planet.
Shalon, you said two of the elements
they needed were gold and emeralds.
What's the third one?
The third element...
is a rare isotope of
radioactive Boron Three.
And then they need...
a small amount of extremely
dense titanium alloy.
I guess we'll have to
try and stop them.
Is there anything we
can do for you?
Yes. Just get our power converter
back to us as quickly as possible.
Our complex here is dying.
Are you taking the Neotraxin?
The drug is in very short
supply here now, Gillian.
Shalon, you must take it.
Yes, yes. I will.
Thank you for helping us, Steve.
You are our only hope now.
(ELECTRONIC WHIRR)
I wonder where they'd look
for the Boron isotope?
The nearest place would be the
San Carlos Nuclear Research facility.
If they follow their pattern,
they'll probably hit there tonight.
And we'll be waiting for them?
The isotope storage unit
is through there.
I'm gonna go on in.
GILLIAN: Be careful.
You can count on it.
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
What's happening?
Why doesn't he attack?
I don't know.
Attack, Sasquatch.
Attack.
Now take it easy.
We're friends, remember?
Let's keep it that way.
Sasquatch, Attack. Or you know
what happens to Shalon!
How did he know
that we'd be here?
Nedlik.
Of course.
Gillian. Go get her.
Alright.
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(ROARS)
(WHISTLING THROUGH AIR)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(LOUD THUNK)
(GROWL)
Alright, freeze, mister!
Hit the deck! Come on! Hit the deck!
Wait a minute, I'm Colonel Steve Austin.
I don't care if you're Nelson Rockefeller.
Hit the deck. Come on.
(CLICK, ELECTRONIC WHIR)
Hi. Is Colonel Austin in here?
Yes, ma'am.
But no one's allowed in.
(BIONIC EAR SOUND EFFECT)
OSCAR: and the
National Security Bureau...
the Secretary, they're all over me!
Can't say that I blame them,
Colonel Austin.
Look at this record.
Three criminal acts.
All worth a lot of money and all with the
absolute evidence of bionics.
And now you're caught
at the scene of the third crime...
with one guard saying, quote...
"That he saw you throw
a steel drum on him."
Do you believe that?
I don't wanna believe it,
but who else could throw a steel drum?
Oscar, I didn't throw it at him. I...
Are you gonna tell us
what happened?
We're trying to help.
I promised to keep it a secret.
Anything you say stays with us.
Steve.
Trust us.
STEVE: I guess you're right.
If I can't trust you two...
RUDY: You know you can.
STEVE: You're not gonna believe it.
In the California mountains,
there's a colony of aliens.
Explorers from deep space.
Space people?
RUDY: In the mountains? Where?
STEVE: I don't know exactly,
but they've been here for 250 years.
They can move forward
in time in the blink of an eye.
They also control the Sasquatch.
Bigfoot?
That's right.
But a group of rebels broke away
from the main complex.
They took the Sasquatch with them.
They've been using Bigfoot
to steal these materials...
to create some sort of magnetic
force field around their new base...
to make it invulnerable.
I told you you wouldn't believe it.
Oscar, remember last year, that day
I disappeared in the mountains?
Yes.
STEVE: Bigfoot took me to the complex.
I met these people.
I talked with them.
Well, why didn't you tell me
about it then, Steve?
Because they erased my memory.
RUDY: Erased your memory?
Look, I know it all sounds crazy,
but it's true.
Wait a minute.
They gave me some of their wonder drug.
It could cure almost all diseases
and help heal injuries in no time.
They called it Neotraxin.
What happened to it?
I gave it to you, to give to Rudy
to have it analyzed.
RUDY: I don't remember
too much about that.
I... I do remember that
I was worried about you.
You had a head injury
during an earthquake.
There's nothing wrong
with my head then or now!
Now, Steve, how come
you can remember this now?
Because they sent this
woman named Gillian...
to ask me to try and help them.
And she can move through
time like you say.
Yes!
Maybe we can meet her.
But she must've been captured by the rebels
when the Boron Three was stolen.
STEVE: Wait a minute.
Now there's proof for you.
I was taken prisoner,
yet the Boron Three was still stolen.
National Security Bureau
had us check on that.
RUDY: Boron Three leaves
a radioactive infrared trace.
Our instruments picked up a trail which
led outside the compound and stopped.
Well that's right,
because Bigfoot carried it out.
Then the rebels must've taken it...
using their TLCs,
traveling much faster than normal.
Which means that the infrared trail must
still be there, but much fainter than normal.
STEVE: Isn't that possible, Rudy?
Well....
Of course it is, and I can
trace it with my eye.
All I need is a helicopter.
Can't do that, Steve.
The National Security Bureau
asked me to turn down your bionics.
What?
Oscar's been fighting
with them all morning.
The only thing they'll agree upon is
to keep you here under house arrest.
Look, there's no time for that.
You two have got to trust me.
No, I guess you don't have to trust me.
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
Steve!
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
You are going to trust him.
What is the status of the magniton?
We're well into stage 3.
Just about to integrate the Boron isotope.
Excellent.
(ELECTRONIC WHIRR)
Well, you were apparently correct.
It looks as if Austin's own people
are blaming him for our thefts.
I saw him escape from them,
and he's coming here now in a helicopter.
Probably following the Boron traces.
Good.
Good?
Yes, we'll let Colonel Austin
take the blame one last time...
and to use that quaint Earth expression...
we'll kill two birds with one stone.
Sasquatch, come here.
(SOFT GROWL)
(BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT)
Listen, Nedlik, Austin must be
less than 100 miles away by now.
I'd estimate 80.
Go back to the task I assigned you.
Everything's under control.
Where is Nedlik planning
to establish his new base?
I don't know or care
as long as it's away from here.
What's in here?
Stay out of it.
It's Neotraxin.
How much of the drug did
you take from the complex?
I don't know.
You must've taken almost all of it!
So... Hey! Come back here!
Nedlik, do you know how
much Neotraxin you have?
Yes.
Well, you have to give
at least some of it back!
No. We may need it in the future.
But Shalon and many others need it now.
They will die without it.
Do I have to listen to this trivia?
Take her away from me.
Please, Nedlik!
It's the only thing that will... No!
Please! It's the only thing...
Sedate her if you must.
And Austin is probably
almost on top of us.
That boron trail...
Will take him right where we want him.
What?
Alright, Faler, if it will make you
more comfortable to know the plan...
we've eradicated the trail
that leads to here.
Dallett, you and the others will move to
the new permanent base of operations.
As soon as you get there, you will drill
the volcanic vent to power the base...
and also the phase lock magniton.
What about you?
The Sasquatch and I will leave a new
boron trail for Colonel Austin to follow.
Right to the security area where
we will acquire the Titanium Alloy.
The final element which is
necessary to make us invulnerable.
There, Colonel Austin will have his
final encounter with the Sasquatch...
whose strength I have just increased.
(HIGH-PITCHED TONE)
(CLICK, ELECTRONIC WHIR)
Now, when Colonel Austin
tries to stop you...
you will attack and kill him.
Is that understood?
You will do as I say, otherwise
Shalon will die by electrocution.
Is that clear?
Very well.
Go and get the titanium alloy.
(SOFT GROWL)
(SASQUATCH SOUND EFFECT)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECTS)
I told you to attack him!
(SOFT GROWL)
Attack!
NEDLIK: Attack, Sasquatch!
Attack!
(SOFT GROWL)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECT)
(LOUD BANG)
Attack, Sasquatch...
or Shalon will die
at the San Angelo complex.
San Angelo?
NEDLIK: Attack!
Sasquatch, attack!
(HIGH-PITCHED TONE)
(GROWLS)
(SASQUATCH SOUND EFFECT)
(GROWLS)
(SASQUATCH SOUND EFFECT)
(SASQUATCH SOUND EFFECT)
(BIONIC SOUND EFFECTS)
(DOOR WHIRS)
Very well done, Sasquatch.
Now we have everything we need
to make our new base invulnerable.
No one can stop us now.
(SOFT GROWL)
NEDLIK: Return immediately.
Oscar, how's Steve?
Not good.
Rudy's been in surgery with him
since before I called you.
What is all this junk about him stealing
gold and jewels and whatever else?
I don't want to believe it's true,
but I can't help facing the facts.
Come on.
Jaime, I think there's something
wrong with his mind.
He tore through one
of our storage areas...
and seriously injured himself.
Steve injured himself?
Oscar, what about the
story that he told you?
About these people. Uh...
From outer space?
Up in the mountains?
Alright, I know. It's sounds
a little crazy to me, too.
But Steve said they were there.
Suppose they are there.
Suppose they're there up in the mountains.
There's 6,000 miles
of country up there.
Where do you suppose
we should start, huh? Rudy.
How's Steve?
He's bad.
The nuclear cells that
power the bionics burst.
He took a severe
dose of radiation.
I don't think he'll make it.
What?
Is ... is he conscious?
No.
He may never regain it.
There's probably not much more
than 24 hours left.
Can I see him?
Yeah.
(STEADY BEEP)
Oh, Steve.
STEVE: Jaime.
Jaime.
Steve?
(BIONIC EAR SOUND EFFECT)
STEVE: Jaime.
I can hear you.
Many... will die...
unless...
Unless what, Steve?
We find... Shalon.
She'll...
help...
maybe...
stop them.
Steve, this wonder drug you said
that they had, if I could get it...
could it save you?
Can you tell me where to look?
Fault.
A fault... line.
San Angelo.
Jaime...
Jaime.
Steve, I'm here.
Beware... the Sasquatch.
Much stronger...
than we are.
What?
Hurry... Jaime.
Not... not...
much... time.
Steve?
Ste...
