Mandroid

Okay, Doc, show me your Grand Prix maneuvers!

Keep watching the hand-eye coordination.

Benjamin, you're my warning signal.

Punch it!

If we're gonna do it, let's do this right!

Dr. Drago, Zanna, watch out!

Perfect!

That's great, Dad!

Benjamin, I'm easing off.

No, you're doin' great!

The coordination is perfect!

What was that?

What?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Look out!

Benjamin, it's Karl.

Try to stand up.

God, Ben, what happened?

Oh, just a shattered spine and a broken head.

It's all for the good of science.

Hold still.

I think you'll survive.

You know, you really scared me.

Tilt your head back.

My life flashed before my eyes for a second or two.

You can tell Dr. Drago that I'm fine.

Karl, not a scratch on the outer chassis.

I designed it even more than it was supposed to.

Good, but it seems I've lost an eye.

Because the optical feed system you insisted we use

was not durable enough.

It was only a test, Ivan.

The optical system is easily replaced, you know that.

Come back to the lab.

Let's celebrate a good test.

To Mandroid!

Ivan, have a drink with us.

Let us make a toast.

To your double-cross.

You're giving my life away, Karl.

My life!

Ivan, we can't keep this to ourselves any longer.

When we discovered the Superconn,

we didn't know what we had.

We still don't.

Perhaps the most powerful element known to man,

and you are just handing it over to the westerners.

The Superconn has great healing capability, Ivan.

We should be concerned with helping the world,

nothing else.

And my Mandroid?

Mandroid is my creation.

Your design has worked beautifully!

Much better than if I had done it on my own,

but it's still only a tool, like a tractor,

to help us do a much larger work.

The United States has offered us everything we need

to continue that work.

You're a traitor, Karl, and you're a thief,

and I'm gonna make you pay for it.

Hey, hey, hey...

Do you hear me?

Hey, hey, hey!

Take it easy.

Don't you worry.

I won't hurt him.

But I'll be here tomorrow.

If you're handing the Mandroid Unit to the United States,

I'll make sure they know who really built it.

You can continue your celebration.

That guy is trouble.

Father, if he shows up tomorrow,

he's gonna try to ruin the deal.

No, no, no, no, no, he's just upset.

In a way, I understand him.

We go back so many years.

He was always obsessed by power.

Oh my God.

Is this Booftaka?

Boufta.

Great, great.

What are you doing?

That's my camera you got there.

Who are you?

Where did you get that?

You pulled it out of my bag, huh?

Oh, yeah, tell you what, let's find Mommy.

Mama, huh?

Mama?

No?

Uh, Mama?

Mama, okay, there you go.

Uh, doors?

Yeah.

Yeah, okay?

Mine.

Here you go.

Oh, it's a turkey!

Okay, great.

Okay, uh, excuse me?

I'm getting off here, Bouftea, Bouftea.

I need to come through.

Dr. Franklin, I presume?

Joe Smith.

Nice to meet you, Joe.

What, did you bring your whole lab?

I'm a scientist.

I like to be prepared.

Huh.

Car's over here.

I'm sorry about the change of plans.

I have a fear of flying.

I got to ride on the Orient Express, though.

That was interesting.

So, you're with CIA, right?

CIA through Interpol.

You guys must have your hands pretty busy

with all those eastern European countries

selling their military secrets.

Uh, Dr. Zimmer's ours, though, right?

And the Superconn, as long as no one else beats us to him.

Did you happen to read his treatment

on virtual reality and cellular structure movement?

Not yet.

How much of the tech stuff have you been briefed on?

Well, the tech is your job, Franklin.

I couldn't explain how a flashlight works.

Well, what exactly do you do, Joe?

If Zimmer's were real, I'd write the check.

Dad, listen to me.

Can you listen to me?

I'm listening.

Didn't you make some notes

the last time we processed the Superconn?

I wanna know when you're handing Ivan Drago

over to the security police.

I'm not.

What about last night?

That's between us.

Ivan is going to be here for the demonstration.

Half the work is his.

He should benefit from it.

And afterwards, are you still partners?

I should hope so.

Um, could you slow down a little bit?

I was trying to get a picture here.

I take it you've never traveled in eastern Europe before.

Well, no, I...

Watch out, watch...

I haven't really been east of MIT, actually.

Coming from Boston,

this'll be quite a little adventure for you.

Yeah, I feel like I've gone back in time

about 100 years.

My father's demonstrating

the Mandroid unit himself, Doctor.

Just checking that everything is in order, Doctor.

Right.

We wouldn't want anything to go wrong, would we?

What's with the chewing gum?

Well, I'm trying to quit smoking.

Oh, really?

Why don't we talk about Proheba?

Huh?

I looked on the maps, and I haven't been able to find it.

Well, that's because Proheba's been more myth than reality

the last 50 years.

The commoners quardened off a small town in the mountains

to be used as a scientific research center.

All the doctors, their families, wives,

everything is completely contained.

So, what's it like?

Well,

you'll soon see for yourself.

Dr. Franklin, Mr. Smith,

Dr. Drago and I are very happy

to have you with us here today.

Zanna?

What you are holding in your hand

is the last word in organic research.

It will cure many of the diseases of mankind,

and it can be used as the most powerful

and cleanest fuel ever known.

But, as you will see,

the Superconn element starts its life

as one of Mother Nature's own.

That's some kinda mushroom, isn't it?

Very good, Mr. Smith, very good.

So, essentially, it begins its life as a plant spore?

Exactly, but first, it must be processed.

The Superconn formula we are adding

will have an immediate effect.

To open the tank now would release

a dangerous chemical reaction.

So, for that, we need some assistance.

Gentlemen, meet the Mandroid unit.

Powerful, indestructible, with only one purpose,

to make our work in the lab easier.

Gentlemen, what we cannot do,

the Mandroid unit can.
