SPARR: Here's something a bit more interesting

It's a possible gamma sickness. Milwaukee.

A man drank one of those guarana sodas.

Guess it had a little more kick than he was looking for

Wow.

- Where was it bottled? - Porto Verde, Brazil.

Have our people look for a white man at the bottling plant.

Tell them no contact! If he even sees them, he's gone!

I got you who I could. Short notice, but they're all quality.

And I pulled you one ace.

Emil Blonsky. Born in Russia, raised in England.

And on loan to SOCOM from the Royal Marines.

GENERAL: I know you cashed in some chips for this, Joe.

Glad I could help. Just make it good.

SPARR: This is the target and the location. Snatch and grab, live capture.

You'll have your dart clips and suppression ordnance,

but live fire is for backup only.

We got local out there, but we want it tight and quiet.

Is he a fighter?

Your target is a fugitive from the US government

who stole military secrets.

He is also implicated in the deaths of two scientists,

a military officer, an Idaho state trooper and possibly two Canadian hunters.

So don't wait to see if he's a fighter!

Tranq him and bring him back.

(SIRENS WAILING)

I knew something was different before I got the shot off.

He had it on him when he bolted.

Is that a girlfriend? She helps him, maybe?

She is no longer a factor.

We closed that door to him a long time ago. He's alone.

He wants to be alone. But see if he's been talking to anybody.

Forgive me, sir?

Doesn't anybody want to talk about what went down in there? 'Cause…

He didn't lose us.

And he was not alone, sir. We had him.

And then something hit us, something…

Something big hit us!

It threw a forklift truck like it was a softball!

It was the most powerful thing I've ever seen.

Well, it's gone.

Well, if Banner knows what it is,

I'm gonna track him down, I'm gonna put my foot on his throat

- and I'm gonna… - That was Banner.

It

was Banner.

- You have to explain that statement, sir. - No, I don't.

You've done a good job.

Pack up and get our men on a plane. We're going home.

Wait.

Please.

(IN ENGLISH) Where am I?

WOMAN ON HEADPHONES: He's tight, this one.

There's no names. All authors' names deleted.

He was using a randomizer to tap into the different wireless networks

every time he went online.

We can't even tell where the e-mails went or where they came from.

God. He wants to get rid of it.

WOMAN: Get rid of what?

"It." His chemistry.

He wants to neutralize whatever powers the transformation.

That's not a good thing. No, it's not a good thing, Major.

But I don't want Banner, anyway.

God damn it! I want what's inside of him.

We'll have the agency people keep their radar up.

What will that do? He's already on the move.

Do you want to tell me that one more time?

Joe, do I look like I'm not being serious?

T, I've known you a long time,

and I've never known a cooler head under fire.

I know something bit you in the ass down there,

but that is one hell of a white whale story,

and I am way out on a limb with you on this already.

Ask Blonsky.

Ten feet tall,

I'd put it at 1,500 pounds, easily, and green.

Or gray, sir.

Greenish-gray.

It was very dark. I couldn't tell.

Put three clips on it, didn't even flinch, and I didn't miss, sir.

I'd stake my medals on it.

Is there a medal you haven't won, Captain?

Medal of Honor, sir.

But a high percentage of those are awarded posthumously.

Of course.

T, do you want to tell me what the hell you really think is going on here?

Banner's work was a tangent of Bio-Tech.

You told me you were going to Brazil to nab a scientist.

Are you telling me another one of your Super Soldier experiments

has gone haywire?

Is there anything that came out of that program that didn't turn into a mess?

Joe, what we're talking about here

is something that could be an incredibly dangerous weapon in the wrong hands,

and we don't know what his intentions are.

Put together a new list,

but be prepared to explain everything on it.

BLONSKY: I've run into bad situations on crap missions before.

I've seen good men go down

purely because someone didn't let us know what we were walking into.

I've moved on to the next one, because that's what we do, right?

I mean, that's the job.

But this?

This is a whole new level of weird.

And I don't feel inclined to step away from it.

So if you're taking another crack at him, I want in.

And, with respect, you should be looking

for a team that's prepped and ready to fight,

because if that thing shows up again,

you're gonna have a lot of professional tough guys pissing in their pants.

Sir.

(HENS CLUCKING)

(DOG BARKING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

(COINS CLINKING)

(CHATTERING IN SPANISH)

Tienes mas stretchy?

Yeah. Perfecto.

(MOTORCYCLE PASSING)

Let me emphasize that what I'm about to share with you

is tremendously sensitive, both to me personally and the Army.

You're aware that we've got an Infantry Weapons Development program.

Well, in WWII, they initiated a subprogram

for Bio-Tech Force Enhancement.

Yeah, Super Soldier.

Yes.

An oversimplification, but yes.

And I dusted it off, got 'em doing serious work again, bold work.

Across the hall, they were trying to arm you better.

We were tryin' to make you better,

in all the obvious ways

and some not so obvious.

Banner...

Banner's work was very early phase.

It wasn't even weapons application.

He thought that he could strengthen cellular resistance through radiation.

We thought it could give our boys built-in insulation

against some of that depleted uranium no one likes talking about.

It was promising.

But politicians don't give a flying F about what real soldiers need.

They like big twin-rotor heliplanes that don't work,

that they can build in their state

while perfectly good machinery rots under their nose.

So our money was running out.

Banner was so sure of what he was onto, that he tested it on himself.

I let him.

It was supposed to be very low exposure.

And something went very wrong.

Or it went very right.

I still don't know.

So why'd he run?

Banner was brilliant, one in a generation, but there are people

who grasp that peace and freedom derive from power,

and people who don't.

He doesn't.

He's a scientist.

He is not one of us.

So it'd be good to nail him then, huh?

Why don't you just take the data to someone else?

Because he is the data.

He skipped before I could get him on a table

and get it out of him.

As far as I'm concerned, that man's whole body is property of the US Army.

You said he wasn't working on weapons, right?

No. But you were. You were, weren't you?

You were trying other things.

One serum we developed

was very promising.

But it didn't pan out, or

it did, but it was unstable.

It made subjects unstable.

We were refining it, but then

Al-Hageed happened.

All those pictures at the hearings,

Congress lost its nerve and they killed it.

I have a real contempt for people like that.

You and me both, Captain. You and me both.

Blonsky, how old are you? 45?

39.

You know, when I came back from Vietnam, I was 27. I looked 45.

So you're beating the curve.

It takes a toll, doesn't it?

Yes, it does.

So get out of the trenches.

You should be a Colonel by now, with your record.

No, I'm a fighter.

I'll be one for as long as I can.

You know, if I could take what I know now,

put it in the body I had ten years ago,

that would be someone I wouldn't want to fight.

I could probably arrange something like that.

You said they killed it. They killed the program.

But you kept some of it, didn't you?

Didn't you ever hear about saving something for a rainy day?

Well, I think it's raining.

Take care, kids.

Stan, I give you my word,

whatever you've heard about me, it's not true.

Oh, I know it. I always knew it.

I mean, you know how I felt about you two.

- Have you talked to her? - No.

She doesn't know that I'm here.

- She's with somebody? - Yeah, he's a head shrink.

They say he's one of the best. But a really nice guy.

Good. That's good.

- Bruce, what can I do to help you? - I could use a bed for a few nights.

- You can have the spare room upstairs. - That'd be so great.

There is one other thing.

(RINGING BELL)

MAN: It's gotta be 0581.

That's the only way to do it. Thank you.

Hold on. Come on, Einstein... You gotta show him,

he's gonna complicate the whole thing.

Yeah, that's $32.

Keep it.

You know, your temperature's too high.

What?

That third thermal couple, you're running it hot.

That should be like 165, not 185.

He's right.

(ALL EXCLAIM)

(KNOCKS ON DOOR) Pizza.

Awesome.

That's two large pepperoni and olive.

Thanks. Uh...

That's $29.50.

We have an account with Stanley.

He knows us. We're Theta.

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, I can see that.

I'm gonna need to call Stan to check that out. Do you mind?

Yes, I mind.

Not to mention that these pizzas...

Well, they took forever and now they're cold.

(GIRLS GIGGLING)

Oops!

Sorry.

Uh...

You know what? You don't want to make me angry.

You're not gonna like me when I'm angry.

Pervert.

Dude,

where are your balls, man?

You can't lay down for that shit.

You gotta smash that door in and get what is...

Tiffy!

Hey, pal. I got a delivery on five.

I don't think there's anybody up there.

Oh, man. I'm gonna catch hell if I don't collect. You got to let me try.

I'll tell you what. I got an extra medium. Take it on the house.

- You are the man. - God bless you, brother.

All right.

(COMPUTERS BLEEPING)

Hey, man, those dicks in radiation ordered this and then skipped.

Do you want it?

Oh, my God. It's you.

Sorry, what?

I can't believe you actually came.

Do we know each other?

No.

I was in terrible need.

You heard my plea and you came to help me.

No, I'm just deliv...

Yes. No, listen.

Shh!

You, my friend, are a hero.

Don't hide from your power.

(SIGHS)

You mind if I get online for one second?

My kingdom is yours.

It's not even just the data.

They made it look like the program never even existed.

It's gone, as if it never happened.

Well, they closed the whole building for a year after the explosion.

Military guards...

I don't know what I was thinking.

I thought maybe there'd be some kind of a scrap,

but there is nothing here.

It was stupid to even risk coming.

What'll you do now?

I gotta move on.

Where?

Stan, it's better if I don't tell you.

(BELL RINGS)

I'm gonna get my things and I'm gonna go tonight.

You're not gonna go anywhere. It's about to rain like hell.

I'll close up. We'll have some food.

We're pretty well closed here, folks. I'm sorry.

Come on, Stan. It's Friday night.

Oh, kids.

I got nothing but marinara now.

Oh, I got to have a Mister Pink, please.

She worked through dinner again, of course.

Stan?

And he… I go, "So, yeah, I mean, where were you?

"I can't… I don't know where you were, Cecil."

And he goes, "Not where you been at."

I thought, "Oh, my God." I just felt so awful.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Bruce?

Betty? What's going on?

Betty…

Just tell me if I saw what I think I saw.

- I don't know what to say. - Please, just tell me the truth.

BETTY: Don't go. Don't go.

I want you to come with me now.

Please. Come with me.

Please.

Pardon me for pointing out that this contradicts

everything you've told me about the situation.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Hold on a second.

Hi.

Hi.

Come in.

Tilda, it's gonna be okay.

I know, but it's Friday night, and we can take care of this on Monday.

Okay. Bye.

Patient.

Leonard, this is Bruce Banner.

Leonard Samson.

Hi.

You two need to get dry. I have shirts up in my closet.

I'm cooking, you're talking. Now go.

BRUCE: Those months were kind of a blur.

I tried to keep moving, and when I got to the monastery,

I finally had some time to try to figure out what had happened.

And they just let you stay?

I'm good at fixing things.

I mean, even monks like their toilets to work.

It was peaceful, and for a while, that was all I wanted.

Then I started to hear them talking about a guy in the town, a rug dealer,

he had a satellite link and he was checking prices in New York.

And I tried to resist it, but my brain started going

and asking questions, and

finally, I had to try. I got on.

And eventually, that got me to Mr. Blue, and...

Sterns and trimethadine?

When I read what he had been doing,

I mean, I didn't think it was possible

to synthesize inhibitors that are that complex,

but he's doing it by the bucketload.

His work is unbelievably brilliant. I mean, he is way out in front.

He had some kind of an ethics cloud around him, but it didn't stop him.

I need to go and see him.

Maybe he's got something, maybe he doesn't.

It'll be a much longer shot without the data,

but I really don't see that I have a choice.

What data?

Our data.

That's why I came.

I tried to get into the lab, but there was nothing.

It was gone.

I got in there as soon as I could, before they took it all away.

I hoped somewhere that it might tell us something someday.

(EXCLAIMS)

What?

Sometimes,

hope comes back so quickly.

Does the General know that you have this?

No, I don't think so.

I haven't spoken to him in a couple of years.

You have to be sure.

Bruce, I need to understand why it has to be like this.

I don't understand why we can't just go in there together and talk to him.

I mean, it's just pride with him, you know...

No, no, no. No, it's not.

He wants to make it a weapon.

When you were in the hospital, he told me what he wanted to do.

He wants it out of me.

He wants to dissect it so that he can replicate it.

He was in Brazil.

He was there. I saw him.

How?

I don't know. I have turned it round.

I have looked at it from every angle, and it makes no sense to me

unless it was Sterns.

Would it be Sterns? Would he do something like that?

I mean, I... You know, I hear he's a total anarchist,

and I can't imagine him having any communication with him.

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I have to go and see him.

Why didn't you wait for me?

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Think we're all set.

This woman, on the very last day of my practice,

right before I came out here,

spends almost the entire session on her cell phone.

It was kind of the last straw for me.

And I finally, towards the end of the session,

was like, "Excuse me, you know, I don't mean to interrupt,

but, Miss so-and-so, I've been analyzing your condition for nearly three months now,

and I think I can say conclusively

that your issues are less manic-depressive than they are caffeinated-uncaffeinated".

(ALL LAUGHING)

I still have no idea who she was talking to on the phone.

Maybe she just wanted a second opinion.

(LAUGHING)

That crossed my mind.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

I don't know. I just...

It's been a long time since I felt light about anything.

You're safe here.

BETTY: You're with friends.

Come here. I want to show you something.

Oh, my God.

You grew it.

I can't believe you actually grew it.

I mean, I thought if anyone could do it, you could do it,

but I really wasn't sure it could be done.

It shouldn't survive here.

It took four months just to cultivate the bacteria for the soil.

I've almost lost it a couple of times, but it's held on somehow,

despite everything.

It's so beautiful.

Thank you so much for sending it to me.

I just wanted you to know that I was...

I know. I'm so...

Ah...

The love she pours into this little guy,

it's amazing he and I are still friends.

Come on, let's go put his bed together.

- Hi. - Hi.

- I thought you might want - Thanks.

Listen, I should leave early, as early as I can.

Really? You can't stay at all?

I want to, but it's just not safe for me to be here.

- If I could borrow some cash… - Of course.

I need to take a bus.

Well, at least let me walk you to the station.

Okay.

- You have everything you need? - Yeah.

I…

What?

- Good night. - Good night.

I hope you get some rest.

Thank you.

We're giving you a very low dose only.

I need you sharp out there and disciplined.

First sign of any side effect,

we stop and you're off team until you straighten out.

- Agreed? - Agreed.

You'll get two separate infusions.

One into the deep muscle, one into the bone marrow centers.

The bone ones are going to hurt.

(GRUNTS)

- Hey. - Oh, God.

Lord, you scared me.

Sorry.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Oh, yeah. I thought it might be easier for all of us.

Want some wine?

Yeah. Yeah, if you're having some.

I'm having a lot.

I didn't come here to see Betty, if that's what you're thinking.

Really?

Why did you come?

I have a problem.

I thought that part of the solution might be here.

Cryptic, but I'll take it at face value.

I'll confess something to you if you clear up some things for me.

First, I confess, as a man,

as Betty's lover,

that I've always hoped you were dead.

Not because I didn't like you, but because I love Betty.

And I've known that unless you were really gone,

or she believed you were,

that there'd always be three of us in this relationship.

I've dreaded the thought of you walking through the door.

But now that you're here, I have to admit,

I'm very happy about it, because I'm also a psychiatrist

and I'm very committed to putting light into dark corners, so to speak.

Betty has a very dark corner that I've never found my way into,

despite considerable careful effort.

And the only thing I know about her dark place

is that you're in it.

So, why are you something that she won't talk about?

There are aspects of my personality that I can't control,

and when I lose control, it's very dangerous to be around me.

I hurt Betty in a way that I will never forgive myself for.

You don't drop your career and fall off the face of the Earth for five years

because you have an anger management issue, Bruce.

Did you see a shrink?

It's a little bit more complicated than that.

Trust me when I tell you that I've heard them all.

Not this one.

Completely honest, and yet avoiding something at the heart of the matter.

Exactly like her.

I don't see why we can't just call a cab.

BETTY: No, no, I don't want him calling a cab. I'm gonna go...

You don't think he can take care of him...

Hi.

um...

The car seems to be dead.

I must have left the lights on last night.

Are you okay to walk?

We can't leave here together.

Well, I'll meet you somewhere.

Remember our bench by the library?

All right. Let me go first.

There's a back way. I'll show you.

Is everything okay?

I think so.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Come here.

(CHUCKLES)

I just wanna do this.

Oh.

It's better like that.

It's too tight?

Yeah, a little.

What?

I just keep asking myself what it was we were trying to accomplish

that was worth all of this.

I think we were trying to understand.

Crack a puzzle.

We wanted to advance things a little.

I think those were the things

that we told ourselves because we liked the way they sounded.

I mean, at least the General was honest about what he was really trying to do.

We did talk about it, and we were all comfortable.

Nobody thought something like that was possible.

Nature takes a long time to build us the way that we are.

Delicate, wonderfully complicated systems,

refined over billions and billions of years,

and nobody understood that better than you and me.

And so, we did what? We come in here with these big brains of ours

and we monkey with things

and we think that... We think that we're gonna do what?

Improve it overnight?

And then we act surprised when it blows up in our face

in some way that we didn't expect.

- What? - They're here.

- Betty, look at me, look at me! - Bruce!

You have to go far away from me as you can!

- Don't argue with me, just go. Go! - Bruce!

(CAR ALARM SOUNDING)

Damn it! We'd have had snipers on target in three more minutes.

I wanna know who jumped the gun.

He's heading 2-7-0.

Blonsky! Not yet!

Sir.

Look alive. This could get interesting.

I got him!

Stop! Stop!

I know you're in there!

General, please!

Sir?

Dad!

Dad, please don't do this.

You can't see this clearly. Now, get inside.

There he is!

SOLDIER 1 ON RADIO: Target is in the overpass. We have a visual.

Do not engage! Repeat, do not engage!

SOLDIER 2: He's locked in.

Put two canisters in there with him.

SOLDIER: Fire!

Get her back here!

Now she'll see.

Sir?

Cover me.

Bruce! Bruce!

Where's the gunship?

Is that it?

Blonsky, pull back now.

Pull back!

Is that all you got?

(GROWLS)

- Fall back! - SOLDIER 3: Fall back! Let's go, let's go!

GENERAL: Find cover!

Betty!

Fire, goddamn it!

Bruce?

(HELICOPTER APPROACHING)

Stop firing!

No!

(GROWLS)

You did the right thing, calling us.

I need to know where they're going.

She'll be in incredible danger as long as she's with him.

From who?

He protected her. You almost killed her.

I give you my word, her safety is my main concern at this point.

You know, it's a point of professional pride with me

that I can always tell when somebody's lying.

And you are.

I don't know where he's going.

- I know she'll help him, if she can. - Then she's aiding a fugitive.

And I can't help either one of them.

I used to wonder she never talked about

Now I know!

GENERAL: Where does she meet these guys?

(SCREAMING)

(GROANS)

Bruce?

Bruce.

(ROARING)

It's okay. It's okay.

Come here. Come this way.

Watch your head.

Okay.

We're okay.

It's okay.

just the rain.

GENERAL: Will he ever walk again?

DOCTOR: Most of the bones in his body look like crushed gravel right now.

I will say this for him. He's got a heart like a machine.

Never seen anything like it, outside of a racehorse.

From Quantico.

The academic language in the published reports is maybe

three dozen off our list, and I don't even have samples for three dozen more.

You keep seeing it in your mind, don't you?

Yes.

Did it shake you up?

(CHUCKLES)

You're damn right it did.

Shook me up.

It was outside my training.

An enemy has an agenda and we fight to block it.

That... It had no agenda.

Major, a great writer once said,

"There are clefts in the rock

where we see the back part of God and tremble".

There is no training for what you saw out there,

because it's not an enemy that confronts us.

It's a new power,

let loose through a crack in the cliff of nature's mystery.

And how many times do you think that's happened in all of human history?

Fire. The splitting of the atom. The universe unveils a secret,

and people recoil,

cowering in fear and awe.

And then comes the person who stops trembling.

Who steps forward

to face the flame

and seizes the burning stick and says,

"This will I master and use".

And civilization's history is written by those men.

Major, we've glimpsed the back part of God,

and for our nation and for our way of life, I intend to put a harness around it.

And history will say that here at this moment,

we confronted our fear.

You're a good soldier, Kathleen,

if you wanna go back up the rabbit hole, you go with nothing but my thanks.

I'd just be staring out the window

wondering who was screwing it up in my place.

All right, then.

Here.

Okay.

(GASPS)

(PANTING)

(BRUCE VOMITING)

Bruce?

Oh, hi.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, actually, I feel a lot better.

- Good. - I just had to get my data back.

You ate it?

Well, you know, the circumstances called for a little improvisation.

Wow.

Okay, so they didn't have a great selection, but I got you some options.

First thing's first.

Oh, you're kidding me.

What?

- No. - They were the stretchiest pair they had.

I'll take my chances.

FEMALE REPORTER: Rumors continue to swirl about a violent clash

between forces of the US military and an unknown adversary

on the campus of Culver University earlier today

Sophomores Jack McGhee and Jim Wilson witnessed some of the battle.

JIM: It was so big.

- It was like this huge, like, hulk! - Yeah.

FEMALE REPORTER: McGhee, who happens to be a reporter for the campus paper,

captured this on his cell phone.

Further search for the mysterious "hulk"

was postponed by powerful thunderstorms in the Smoky Mountain National Forest.

Not too short back there.

I have done this before, you know.

I don't know how you've done this on your own for all this time.

With clippers, usually.

(BETTY CHUCKLING)

(WATCH BEEPING)

(WATCH BEEPING RAPIDLY)

- Wait, wait, wait. Wait. - What? What?

We can't do this.

- It's okay. I want to. - No.

No.

I can't.

(BEEPING SLOWS)

I can't get too excited.

(BEEPING STOPS)

Not even a little excited?

(BRUCE SIGHS)

BETTY: It's okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It's okay.

It's so mysterious, this thing inside of you.

All the other scars have healed.

No, that's mine.

His scars heal, mine don't.

Yes, they do.

They leave a mark, but they stop hurting.

Look at me.

That pain didn't last.

Not knowing was so much worse.

I looked for your face everywhere.

I never stopped.

Rumors continue to swirl about a violent clash

between forces of the US military and an unknown adversary

on the campus of Culver University earlier today.

(PHONE RINGING)

REPORTER: But we do know...

JOE ON SPEAKER: T! I'm here.

The Joint Chiefs want National Guard involved.

Oh, for God's sake.

Joe, the National Guard can't deliver tents to hurricane zones on time.

You're telling me I gotta liaise with part-timers?

It's domestic on paper, so Guard and FBI have to be involved.

FBI?

Did the Chiefs see the tape? Do they think that was a video game?

Use them for intel and equipment, then tell them to back off.

It's a waste of time.

Now, what about Blonsky?

He's not looking good, but he is everything you said he was.

He was what made it happen.

And I saw the way he was moving before he got hit.

Reminded me of something I think we'd both like to forget.

Are you asking me a question, Joe?

Make your list and then get back to me.

JIM: It was so big.

It was like this huge, like, hulk! Yeah.

And homie was just stomping, just stomping on everything.

FEMALE REPORTER: McGhee, who happens to be a reporter for the campus paper,

captured this on his cell phone.

MAN 1: This green dude just, like, picked up

this motor and hurled it at these Humvees.

Huge explosion.

MAN 2: It's like US Army, zero, Hulk, one.

Badass.

Sir, it's Blonsky.

Has anyone found out if he has next of kin or family?

Ask him yourself.

Sir?

Good to see you back on your feet, soldier.

Thank you, sir.

How do you feel?

Pissed off and ready for round three.

Basically, we can't use any of this, because they can track all of it.

Well, my lip gloss? Can they track that?

- No. You can take your lip gloss. - Thank you.

- Well, I need my glasses. - Well, you can take

- your glasses and your watch, okay? - Okay.

We can use most of it. We just can't use the credit cards, the ID or the phone.

- Don't even turn that on. - Okay.

And we'll take the cash, obviously.

How will we get where we need to go on $40 and no credit cards?

Well, we could sell this.

No. No, that's the only thing you have left from her. No.

Well, we'll have to try and get it back.

It's okay. We'll get it back.

BETTY: Come on. SPARR: Federal is already monitoring

phones, plastic and Dr. Ross's web accounts,

and local PD have been placed on alert.

They'll pop up somewhere and when they do, it comes straight to us.

GENERAL: They're not gonna just pop up.

He made it five years and got across borders without making any mistakes.

He's not gonna use a damn credit card now.

If he was trying to escape, he'd be long gone.

He's not trying to escape this time.

He's looking for help and that's how we're gonna get him.

We know what they're after and we know he's been talking to somebody.

You all have copies of the correspondence.

The aliases Mr. Green and Mr. Blue

have been added to the SHIELD Operations Database.

If he comes up for air, we'll be waiting.

If he makes a peep, we'll hear him.

And when he slips up, we'll be ready.

Hey.

Smile.

What is it like?

When it happens, what do you experience?

Remember those experiments we volunteered for at Harvard?

Those induced hallucinations?

It's a lot like that, just a thousand times amplified.

It's like someone's poured a liter of acid into my brain.

- Do you remember anything? - Just fragments. Images.

There's too much noise. I can never derive anything out of it.

- But then it's still you inside it. - No. No, it's not.

I don't know. In the cave, I really felt like it knew

Maybe your mind is in there,

it's just overcharged and can't process what's happening.

I don't want to control it. I want to get rid of it.

Are you ready?

Let's even the playing field a little.

Gentlemen.

(HORN BLARING)

BETTY: Bruce, wake up. There's something going on.

We got to go. Walk toward the back. Just don't move too fast.

All right. Come.

BETTY: It is a long way uptown. I think the subway's probably quickest.

Me in a metal tube, deep underground,

with hundreds of people in the most aggressive city in the world?

Right. Let's get a cab.

CAB DRIVER: Come on, now! Let's go! You're too slow! You drive like a woman!

(HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)

- Very nice. You see her? - Oh, my.

Very pretty. Watch out, you goat!

Breathe, breathe, breathe.

Are you out of your mind?

- What is wrong with you? - What's the matter, baby?

You don't like a good ride?

(GRUNTING)

Asshole!

(BETTY GRUNTS)

You know, I know a few techniques could help you

- manage that anger very effectively. - You zip it. We're walking.

Okay.

Excuse me. Dr. Sterns?

Yes.

I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Elizabeth Ross.

Oh! Dr. Ross!

- I have someone who'd like to meet you. - Okay.

It's Mr. Blue, isn't it?

Mr. Green?

I got to tell you, I've been wondering if you were even real.

And if you were, what would it look like?

A person with that much power lurking in him.

Nothing could have surprised me more

than this unassuming man shaking my hand.

But, look. We're not strolling into the park for a picnic, here.

Even if everything goes perfectly,

if we induce an episode, if we get the dosage exactly right,

is that going to be a lasting cure

or just some antidote to suppress that specific flare-up?

I don't know.

What I'm saying is that if we overshoot this by even the smallest integer

we're dealing with concentrations with extraordinary levels of toxicity.

- You mean it could kill him. - Kill him? Yeah. I should say so.

You should know that there's a flip side to this, too.

If we miss on the low side, if we induce me and it fails,

this will be very dangerous for you.

Look. I've always been more curious than cautious,

and that's served me pretty well. So, are we going to do this?

How you feeling, man?

Like a monster.

Okay. On the table.

These will protect you from yourself if you have a strong reaction.

You can tell me later if you thought it was strong.

Oh, come on! Stupid graduate students.

Okay…

You, you, you.

This will be a somewhat novel sensation.

(MACHINE STARTING UP)

We have begun.

The dialysis machine will mix the antidote with your blood.

Except the antidote will only take hold once we've achieved a full reaction.

Just relax.

Okay. We are comprehensive.

Here you go.

All right. We set to pop?

I'd take your hands off him.

(GRUNTING)

Oh, my God!

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

Wait, wait! There's more! Wait!

- Now. Okay, now! - STERNS: Wait.

Now, do it! Do it!

Bruce! Bruce, look at me.

Stay with me. The antidote, now! Sterns, do it now!

Bruce, look at me. Look in my Please, look in my eyes.

(MACHINE BEEPING)

Oh, you've got to be kidding me!

(HULK GROANING)

Bruce.

Oh, my God.

Bruce? Bruce, can you hear me?

Bruce?

(GASPS)

It's okay. You're okay. You're okay.

You did it.

He's fine. This is fantastic.

BETTY: It's over.

Hi.

Hi.

(SIRENS BLARING)

Snipers in the point. Deltas in backup.

If we make it before they move again, we'll have two tries.

We can't take him inside, we try for a shot as he leaves.

But if we can hit him unaware before he makes the street,

then plainclothes will try to follow and we stand down.

Under no circumstances is Banner to be engaged directly.

What about if he goes nuclear?

Then we'll have failed to learn from our mistakes, won't we?

He's never turned unless he was cornered or hurt.

So if we can't take him out from long range,

or if he makes us and he runs,

then we fall back and we let him go.

Any more questions?

Not much of a rematch, is it?

There's 1.5 million people within a three-mile radius.

You want to take that thing out there?

Sir, you sure about your boy?

We need a dog in the hunt that won't run from the bear if he shows up.

And if we play this right, I'll never have to let him off the leash.

That was the most extraordinary thing I have seen in my entire life!

Okay, you know what? Stop, please.

We need to go back and talk about what just happened in there.

Absolutely. Okay. The gamma pulse came from the amygdala.

- I think Dr. Ross's primer… - Are you okay?

…lets the cells absorb the energy temporarily, and then it abates.

That's why you didn't die of radiation sickness years ago!

Now, maybe we've neutralized those cells permanently,

or maybe we just suppressed that event.

I'm inclined to think the latter, but it's hard to know

because none of our test subjects ever survived.

Of course, they weren't getting the primer!

Wait, wait.

- Wait, what did you just say? - They weren't getting

- the myostatin primer… - No, no, no. Test subjects?

What test subjects?

Come with me.

- SPARR: What's the activity level? - Snipers are covering Alpha sector.

STERNS ON RADIO: We started on rats and mice,

but it just completely fried them, so we had to go bigger.

And we still don't know which is more toxic, the gamma or your blood.

- What do you mean, my blood? - Bruce, this is all you.

You didn't send me much to work with, so I had to concentrate it and make more.

With a little more trial and error, there's no end to what we can do!

This is potentially Olympian!

This gamma technology has limitless applications.

We'll unlock hundreds of cures.

We will make humans impervious to disease!

No, no, we've got to destroy it.

- Wait, what? - All of it.

Tonight. We're gonna incinerate it.

- Is this the whole supply? - What…

We could get the Nobel for this!

You don't understand the power of this thing.

It is too dangerous. It cannot be controlled.

At your discretion, shooter.

STERNS ON RADIO: …three of us! This is Promethean fire!

BRUCE ON RADIO: It's just…

SOLDIER ON RADIO: No shot.

Blonsky's going in.

GENERAL: Blonsky, stand down. My daughter's in there!

We have the antidote now.

They don't want the antidote! They want to make it a weapon!

(SIRENS WAILING)

And if we let it go, we will never get it back.

You don't know how powerful this thing is.

I hate the government just as much as anyone,

but you're being a little paranoid, don't you think?

(GASPS)

Bruce! Bruce!

Get out.

(BETTY SCREAMS)

Where is it? Come on, where is it?

(BRUCE EXCLAIMS)

(WATCH BEEPING RAPIDLY)

Show him to me.

Blonsky!

(HEART BEATING SLOWLY)

SOLDIER: Miss!

Take this.

If you took it from me, I'm gonna put you in a hole for the rest of your life.

Betty.

I've never seen anyone come around from a trang dose like that.

Why the hell aren't we keeping him under?

You want to be the one to stick a needle in his arm

that he doesn't want?

She's our best insurance. Keep her right next to him.

He knows if he pops off, it's her that gets hurt.

Well, what do you want to do with Sterns?

I want him pinned in that lab with you.

Don't let him out of the room to piss

until he's identified every bottle, box and machine in the place,

then package it up and get it back home.

Then get aiding and abetting charges and get him turned over to us.

Banner won't give us the answers, maybe we can get him to.

Betty?

I will never forgive what you've done to him.

He's a fugitive.

He made choices.

You made him a fugitive

to cover your failures and to protect your career.

I know what you said to him after the accident,

before I woke up, what you proposed.

That's why he ran away and gave up.

His work,

his blood, is the property of the United States Army,

and my duty supersedes my personal feelings in this matter.

Freedom, democracy, our way of life.

Something like that.

You believe in so much.

Well, you have to start with truth, or the rest of it doesn't work.

Don't ever speak to me as your daughter again.

It's only because you're my daughter that you're not in handcuffs, too.

SPARR: Are you telling me you can make more like him?

No! Not yet. I sorted out a few pieces, but it's not like I can put together

the same Humpty Dumpty, if that's what you're asking.

He was a freak accident! The goal is to do it better!

So Banner's the only…

- She's an annoying bitch, are you always hitting people?

Now what possibly could I have done to deserve such aggression?

It's not what you've done. It's what you're gonna do.

I want what you got out of Banner. I want that.

You look like you've got a little something in you already, don't you?

I want more. You've seen what he becomes, right?

I have.

And it's beautiful.

Godlike.

Well, I want that.

I need that. Make me that.

I don't know what you've got inside you already.

The mix could be

an abomination.

(GASPING) I didn't say I was unwilling.

I just need informed consent.

And you've given it.

This is what I was trying to explain.

I don't know what you've been ladling into yourself.

But clearly it worked.

Let's assume you don't understand a word I'm saying,

but if you'll just get back on the table,

I can fix this.

It has to be me. You have to take me back there.

What are you saying?

You think you can control it?

No, no, not control it, but, I don't know, maybe aim it.

And what if you can

We made this thing.

All of us.

Please.

- Land us near it. no. No, keep us h

Open the back door.

Bruce! Bruce, stop! Stop! What are you doing?

Think about this! You don't even know if you'll change!

You don't have to do this! Please, this is insane!

It's been all over the TV. It doesn't seem real.

Well, it was real.

Just come home.

Leonard, did you call someone the night Bruce was at our house?

Is that why they came for him?

I was frightened.

Please forgive me.

I do.

But I'm not coming home yet.

Where are you going?

I have no idea.

But I'll let you know when I do. I promise.
