Original subtitles

Honey, what are you doing?

I'm looking for the yellow iodine.

It's not here.

Yeah, baby. That's not where it is.

Hey, can you give me 12 seconds and I'll come get it for you?

12 seconds is specific.

Wow, these are very expired.

Okay, benadine...

No, it's not.

No wonder.

Oh, right. That is.

But - that's not...

We tried for two years.

I know.

Same old thing.

You didn't even wanna talk about it anymore.

Talking was not the important part.

It wasn't meant to be for us.

We were - we were okay with that.

We were okay, but...

Wow...

This is better.

- It's a lot better. - Isn't it?

It's great.

Obviously, we're gonna need protocols to account for his cell mutations

- to monitor for the cosmic effects. - Reed - Reed.

We can do this.

Okay?

We really want to do this?

I really want to do this.

Then, what?

Nothing is going to change.

Of course not.

Ladies and gentlemen.

We welcome you to a very special event.

Celebrating four years of the Fantastic Four.

And now, your host for the evening, Ted Gilbert.

I'm on the phone...

Of course, we all know the story.

Four brave astronauts head out into space,

Encountered a cosmic turbulence

and come back forever changed.

Not just the molecules of their bodies,

But also their place in our hearts.

And now, a look back.

Four years ago, a man and a woman conquered the last frontier as we know it.

The exploration of space.

The best pilot in the world, right here.

That's what Reed dreams.

It was not a mission.

Space exploration.

I assembled the best scientific minds to come along.

Who also happened to be my best friends.

My wife,

and my brother-in-law.

Coms check and please hail all.

Check.

Sure, check?

Check.

Coms are live.

That last voice you heard came from my baby brother, Jonathan Storm.

And ladies, it's very simple.

Kiss for luck.

Kiss.

However, Dr. Richard's expedition encountered an unforeseen event

to change not only the lives of these courageous individuals

Interplanetary craft ready for launch.

But also the course of our history.

Get a picture.

Who is that?

Sorry, I don't know.

It must be. She's hardly aged.

Obviously, while we were in space, due to errors on my part,

we encountered a cosmic storm that altered our DNA.

We came back with anomalies.

And they returned with superpowers.

They became our protectors.

Let her go!

It's clobberin' time!

I was at the opening of the Pan Am Tower when the Moleman attacked.

The Fantastic Four saved my life.

Moleman's attempt to steal the Pan Am

building was thwarted by the Fantastic Four.

It's probably Richard's fault.

Him and his endless pursuit of progress.

Power to the underground!

When Mad Thinker tried to sabotage New York City,

The Fantastic Four came to our rescue.

Gotcha!

That's my dance!

They defeated Red Ghost and his Super Apes.

They are inspirational.

This equation not only confirms an alternate dimension

but it suggests parallel Earths exist on different dimensional planes.

Who wants to see a big explosion?

And they became our leaders.

Sue Storm brokers peace deal with Harvey "Moleman" Elder

leader of the underground nation "Subterranea".

I don't trust surface dwellers. I never have.

But I do trust Sue.

We come together today to form a new charter.

The Future Foundation.

All participating countries agree to dismantle their armed forces.

And on their fourth anniversary, we celebrate them.

They are the very best of us.

They are the Fantastic Four.

Thank you Fantastic Four!

Thank you Fantastic Four!

- I love you, Johnny! - We love you!

- We love the Fantastic Four. - Thank you!

We are proud to call them our guides, our protectors and our friends.

Let's hear it for Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben!

I must say, they'll fill up those grant monies.

Curry.

Curry with herbs.

How's that sauce look?

Don't do that.

Wash your hands first.

- Mm, I told you I washed the last time. - Let me try that-try that.

Okay.

Okay.

Is this guy good?

That is fantastic!

- No, I wanna try that. - That's a horrible-filth us.

Stop - Don't do that.

Good.

Depends what you do.

No.

- It's not quite done. - No.

It could be done.

Let me add a little more garlic.

Not because it's not delicious. I just want to add a little bit of zip.

Okay?

What are you doing?

What do you mean, what am I doing?

You know, you're gonna ruin your appetite.

I'm hungry.

They're never late for Sunday dinner.

Should we wait?

I guess.

You're late.

Uh, what do you mean?

What do you mean, what do I mean?

You're late for dinner.

Oh, yes, we are.

- Really late. Yes. - Obscenely late.

- Just, um, just a tick. - I put some yellow iodine on my shoulder.

Doing the shoulder, and...

Why is that breakfast cereal

on your dinner table?

Why are you being weird?

No. We're not being weird.

Well, you're doing that weird thing with your face.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Are you pregnant?

- Yes, I am. - Yes.

- Yes, yes. - How'd you know that?

Get outta here - its your husband's face.

I know. He just cannot keep a secret.

What? Really?

Yeah.

A baby.

What?!

You are gonna be the best mom.

Oh, my gosh.

You are gonna be the best dad.

Just kidding.

You are out of your depth.

But we - we're going to be the best uncles ever.

Okay. We should eat.

You're handling this well.

You know, I figured you'd be locked

in your lab drenched in a panick sweat.

I had that scheduled for later.

The countdown continues.

As the Fantastic Four prepare to

welcome a new member to the family,

Needless to say, preparations inside the Baxter Building are well underway.

Alright, Herbie.

Let's start the baby planning.

Herbie...

"Yancy Street" believes that we really are for the girl

at four to five, but chances of twins are a long shot.

Herb train.

Herbie!

The oil and gas cowboys want a minute to

to yell at you before you go on maternity leave.

Speaking of coal value.

Liv, we needed Sue.

Larry, we will tell her when I see her.

Thank you, Liv.

The question on everybody's mind is, will the baby be born with superpowers?

Herby, we need to scan the baby.

The internal scan hasn't achieved

the right level of procession for clear imaging.

A deep space transmission?

Identify its origin.

Shall we record it and file it?

Do you have an appointment?

There isn't a marked 2:15, but I don't have any meetings today.

Here he comes.

- Ah, Reed. - Oh.

That 2:15.

Thank you for making time.

Johnny, we can't do it today.

I have some thoughts on the new suit design.

There are no new suit designs.

You finished them years ago.

They have dust on them.

I get it.

You're gonna be a father soon.

New responsibilities.

- You're a bit scared. - I'm not scared. I'm...

I'm busy, Johnny. I'm busy.

I'm busy.

There's a difference.

New transmission.

New transmission today.

Have you listened to it yet?

More of the same.

It's a complex signal.

- It's done. - Knock yourself out.

Johnny, I'm running a test.

Cool.

I got a time.

Bridge teleportation test.

We'll move some organic matter

Six meters.

Thank you, Herbert.

Let's run it.

It worked.

Uh-oh.

Johnny, go.

Could you reset the breaker?

Other way.

Babe?

Babe, when you're done, can you...

Hi.

Hello, Herbie.

You're home.

I, um, I still - I don't really see it.

How's it looking?

Um, it's looking like Herbie's building a crib.

Which I kinda thought you'd do.

I built this instead.

Anyone can build a crib.

Only I can build this.

Anyone can build a crib.

but not-not ours.

Not for him.

This is for him.

Okay, y'know, I came around. His parents have cosmically compromised DNA.

Reed.

Reed, We have done every test.

No, not this one.

Do you want to see?

Fine.

Let's see.

See? There's nothing wrong with him.

He's absolutely perfect.

That's such a bullshit way to win an argument.

- Happy Halloween. - Happy Halloween.

Easy with the candy.

- Hi, there. - Hi, Heather.

Hey, Ben. How's Sue doin'?

Ah, she's gettin' close.

She's cravin' some Maisie's cookies.

Hey!

What time is it?

Say your thing.

That's not really somethin' I'd say.

"It's cobberin' time!"

It's just in the cartoon.

Sorry, sir.

Hey! Lift the car!

You want me to lift a car?

This car right here?

You guys are gonna get me in trouble.

Okay, well, I'll try.

I can't do it.

Alright, let's give it one more try.

Throw the car! Throw it!

Throw the car?

Just settle down. Nice and easy.

Why don't you really throw it next time? Rattle skulls...

None of that, Rox, okay?.

I love kids.

Spend the day with ten fourth grade girls

and you may begin to rethink that.

Rachel Rosmond.

I'm Ben.

I know.

You grew up bein' around kids, yeah?

Right there.

Oh, very near.

You know, it feels really good being back here.

Like, uh, everything stays the same.

Like Maisie's?

The best.

Yeah, the black and white cookies were always my favorite when I was a kid,

but I used to steal 'em back then.

Well, maybe step inside next time.

The kids would love to see you.

Yeah, okay.

I will. I'll bring cookies.

Oh, yes.

Okay.

I'll bring cookies.

Oh, sweet Jesus.

It doesn't matter how long you beat 'em.

They're not gonna make a meringue if there's egg yolks.

The real question is, do you add some vinegar or not?

I'm a vinegar guy.

I always have been, vinegar.

Why the long face?

What of it?

Yeah, sounds like your 2:15 with Reed didn't go well.

I'm sorry, fella.

Hey, I'm fine.

You know, I don't mind.

- It's just, ah... - Hey, I hear ya.

We're going to space again.

Yeah, we will.

Oh, nice.

Flame off.

Down.

Fantastic kitchen, down.

Oops.

Stop it.

I finished the crib.

- Stop. - They included two extras.

I don't know why.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

This is me.

For the last few months, I've been tracking

a small number of criminal organizations.

A small number, huh?

47 of them, including the Puppet Master

in the Bowery, the Wizard of Gramercy Park,

and Diablo in Washington Heights.

You baby-proofed the world...

It's a sweet gesture.

It's a thorough gesture.

But, uh, I like punishing them.

You mean clobbering?

No, I mean punching.

Let's eat.

Hey, what time is it?

It's dinnertime.

- Come inside. - Sure it's not a problem?

Stop.

Breaking news at Times Square.

There seems to be an offing in the sky.

Are you the protectors of this world?

Yes, we are.

Know your planet is now marked to die.

Your world will be consumed by the Devourer.

There is nothing you can do to stop it.

For he is a universal force, as essential as a star.

Hold your loved ones close.

And speak the words you are afraid to speak.

Use this time to rejoice and celebrate.

For your time is short.

I found your beginning.

I announce your end.

I herald...

Galactus.

Boha compero amhae

Scientists around the world are trying to verify the origin of this unknown space creature.

- You tracking her? - She's too fast to track forever.

She is too fast, but I'm tracking where she's been.

What's a "Galactus", right?

And how do you consume a whole planet?

Here.

DA 773.

A planet in the Proxima Delphi system.

It ate that whole planet?

Five planets, actually.

Five have disappeared, that I'm aware of.

There might be more that fit the pattern.

And the pattern is what?

That they've been chosen with great care.

Targeted.

They wouldn't just disappear.

Destroyed.

Wait, you're saying these planets dissipating, that's related to her?

Yes.

I've identified the Herald's energy signature

and matched it to DA 773.

She was there.

She was at all of them.

So, you're saying this Galactus...

Can do exactly what she says it can do.

How long to get Excelsior launch-ready?

Either we go up there

or Galactus comes here.

I don't know.

20 hours.

The launch window's in 16.

- Guys... - Like I said, 16 hours.

Hey guys?

I'll start the nav. clock.

Hey guys?

Why don't you go alert the prep team and we'll meet down there?

Uh, she spoke to me, the Herald.

She spoke to me.

She spoke to all of us, Johnny.

Galactus, the Bowery.

But when I chased her, she spoke to me in her language.

What did she say?

Well, it was in her language. I don't know.

What were the context clues?

Context.

Space.

And what was the tone?

Angry, threatening?

No, no, no. Not at all.

It was, ah...

Kind?

Kind.

- Not kind. - Warm.

Warm?

I don't know.

It was, she was, like, right here.

And I was looking into her beautiful face.

And I saw stars.

And I could see me in her face.

She spoke to me.

- And she was kind of, um... - Warm?

Kind.

Kind?

No.

No. I get it.

Johnny loves space.

Johnny loves women.

Now there's a literal naked space woman

and Johnny thinks they had a moment.

I doubt she was naked.

It was probably a stellar polymer.

For the record, Ben loves when Johnny speaks in third-person.

We need to get ready.

Okay.

So, she spoke to you, yeah?

And?

There are 23 of these.

The only repeating language in the oldest recordings.

Now, I don't know who they are or what they're saying.

But this...

This is the same.

This is her language.

Okay.

Maybe that is something.

Reed wants to see you in the lab.

You summoned me?

I finally knocked it off the list.

What?

The new space suits.

They're flame retardant.

Maxed out the oxygen supply, but you have to monitor the gauge.

If you stay flamed on in zero atmosphere, you will burn

through your air reserves in less than ten minutes.

Oh!

I take back every single bad thing I've been saying about you.

To myself.

In private.

Four years ago, we were dreamers.

Back then, the unknown meant adventure.

And mystery.

And discovery.

With space the greatest mystery of all.

The last opportunity led to the accident that mutated them and gave them enormous strength.

What we learned was that the unknown also meant fear

and profound, radical change.

Had a talk.

Johnny showed me the new suit.

It is good.

Especially compared to the old ones.

How were the old ones?

They weren't adequate.

Yeah, who would've known it?

Me.

- I could have known. - Stop.

Please, you gotta stop eatin' yourself up about this.

You know, "Stretch", I got bad news for you.

You ain't that smart.

Except I am that smart.

Oh, yeah?

Can you cook?

It's more of an art than a science.

Did you pass your drivers test?

That was due to poorly marked signage.

Oh.

This Galactus, this Herald...

they have no idea what they're up against.

So, the four of us will return to space and face the danger waiting there.

And we will find this Galactus.

It's simple when you describe everything to a four year old

It will be the first time a pregnant woman

has done it in the history of the world.

I know.

I really do.

Just because I'm not talking about her

doesn't mean I'm not thinking about her.

Not a "him".

I really love my new suit.

She'll turn you over when it's just a little bigger.

- Kidding me. - What?

It is actually fluid.

Just a little extra around the sides is all.

This is the Excelsior launch control.

T-minus 2 hours, 37 minutes and 20 seconds.

Here we stand.

to face a danger

that is unknown.

A danger that threatened our home.

That threatened our families

and threatened this planet.

The unknown will become known.

And we will protect you.

We will protect you.

Final check and check, please.

Check.

Check.

Check.

10 - 9 - 8...

Flight engage

6 - 5 - 4 - 3...

Clear for launch.

2 - 1...

First Excelsior successful launch

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have a successful launch.

And that was something.

We wish you good luck.

Thanks, Earth.

See that?

Approaching the FTL engine.

Wait for my signal, Sue.

Commander.

Three, two, one, mark.

And we have a - lock!

Clear for FTL navigation.

Faster-Than-Light in 3 - 2 - 1...

Look at this binary system here.

LHS 275, yes.

Where we find her, we find Galactus.

Reed, what are we up against here?

Some sort of a space dragon or something?

We don't know, but it's basic tactical science.

To observe, assess capabilities,

Have Herbie collecting liquids, gas, solid materials.

Analyze his physiology.

Look, if he's just some big guy in a ship,

then yes, you can punch him out.

Come in on the dark side of the system's larger planet.

Copy that. I'm gonna take us out of FTL.

Okay, everyone.

Be prepared.

So, where is this Galactus?

That's strange.

The Herald's heat signature is coming from inside of the planet.

What the hell is happening to that planet?

Is there something alive down there?

What is that?

Alien!

Dropping us out of that ring now.

Watch out.

Sue, hide us.

It's all gone.

No more planet.

And it was 13% larger than Earth.

You're kidding me.

That will cost me and you.

Herbie...

- Quit it. - But the F tubes.

We don't have time.

They're heating up.

Cut the engines.

Johnny...

Your girlfriend's back.

Uh, hi.

Galactus will see you.

I'll go.

All of you.

He should not have come.

Follow.

Herbie, collect samples.

What does Galactus want?

He doesn't want.

He feeds.

How does he choose which planets to consume?

He does not.

You choose.

Yes.

Uh, Johnny. What are you doing?

The charm.

So, what did you say to me?

I assume nothing boring.

What did you say?

Boha compero amhae

Is a blessing.

It means...

Die with yours.

"Die with yours."

Last question.

So, the surfboard, right?

Is that part of your body, or is that...

She dumped you already?

No. It went well.

Stand for Galactus.

To know the quantum look honors.

We are honored.

I was once little like you, billions of years ago.

A man from another world.

Before this relentless eternal hunger.

You have traveled far.

Yes.

To beg for mercy.

To talk.

But you carry the power to save your world.

Yes, I believe we do.

Inside her, the child.

He has it.

What does that mean?

I will spare your world.

In exchange for the boy.

What?

No.

He possesses the power constant

to gleefully harrass this cursed throne.

It's not true. He-he's normal.

We would know.

I would know.

I-I tested the child.

He hides his nature from you.

What are you doing to her?

Don't give up.

You won't have our planet

and you will never have our son!

I will eat your planet soon

while your son watches.

Yeah, we're comin'!

We need to get home before this starts to get really fun.

Just go for it. You gotta, for everybody.

Hurry!

Get us out of here, Ben!

I will, soon as I get it started.

Race you uphill.

I see our usual way.

I'm here. Hold on.

Surfer on our six.

Calls for the jump.

But where?

Anywhere, just jump!

Herbie, I'm goinna need your help to stabilize this.

We.

Hold on!

Ben!

We lost her.

All clear.

She's still on us.

Johnny, kill her.

Really?

Yes, and I'm depending on you.

- Kill her. - I will. Don't worry.

Right. Whatever.

I finally meet someone interesting.

It bends the beam.

The wormhole is bending the beam.

Reed, I have no more power!

Let me at her. Let me at her.

Reed, what's the plan?

Johnny, pitch to the left!

And I'm still not cross but just don't tell me how to feel such cleanliness!

Shot calling your six.

Oh!

Yes! Game!

She's back!

- I can't shake her. - Workin' on it.

- She's maneuvering. - Reed!

Drop us out of FTL here.

That's a pretty big neutron star.

I know.

We're gonna use it.

Isn't that basically a black hole?

Won't that kill us?

I'm taking us out.

What's the plan?

If she flies close enough to the star, she'll get stuck in the gravity well.

There'll be a time dilation.

How long through the dilation?

Is it more than mine?

It'll take her a month to break free.

Take us in, Ben.

Reed, we'll get sucked in.

Ben, trust me.

All right.

Come on!

Call it now!

Can't call it here.

Comin' apart...

So we're falling apart.

Come on, Reed, I'm gonna do it.

How are you doing?

Your first contraction was really smooth. You good?

Time for your next contraction.

Great!

Out of it!

Stressful?

We need to strap you down.

Never a doubt.

Do not strap me down!

Nonsense.

Hey, you need gravity to push.

- He's above right now, as opposed to being... - I know, I know.

Don't look at me. Work.

Breathe through your nose.

We don't have enough juice to get home.

Oh, no.

I could slingshot around a star.

We have to have a control over momentum.

We need to get to .88 speed of light.

Oh-h-h, Reed!

Coming.

You lost your egg.

On it.

Don't go nowhere.

I'm right here.

We need slingshot.

Comin' up on .82.

I give up.

Honey, why do you wanna - go with him?

- We're gonna love him. - He don't know.

- Who would know that? - How do you know that?

He told me whover you were, you would know that. Believe he's a monster.

He's not a monster...

Oh, I can sense change.

Nothing's gonna change.

Won't work against us.

You don't know.

I promise you.

I do.

No, you can't.

And he'll know about everything.

Leave me alone a sec?

He's coming.

- He's coming. - I'm here.

Push. It's time.

.85

Focus, two, three, push.

Push. Good.

.87

- 8 - Ben?

Herbie!

Need help!

I'm moving to table.

Herbie, take pilot.

Hiya, champ.

Very good.

After a month long return trip

the Fantastic Four are on the ramp and receiving a warm welcome.

They have a baby!

God. Unbelievable.

On his way.

Stay back, please. Back.

They're ready for you. Sing 'em.

It's gonna be fine.

I'm sorry, we don't have a prepared statement.

One at a time, please. One at a time.

Batter.

What, Mr. Batter?

Could you take us through how you defeated Galactus?

How we...

We didn't.

Not yet.

Not yet, we haven't.

Follow up.

What do you mean, you didn't?

We attempted to negotiate, but Galactus,

he asked too high a price.

Well, what does he want?

What did he ask?

He asked for our child.

He said, give us your child

and I will spare the Earth.

We said no, obviously.

We said no.

Could giving Galactus the child save us?

Just answer this! Answer this.

Are we safe?

Are we safe?

I don't know.

You don't know...

Why do you think you don't know?

I'm sorry.

I failed you.

I need the child.

I must get the child.

But he's just a baby.

He is a being of infinite power.

One strong enough to absorb my hunger.

So that I may finally rest.

How much time do we even have until it gets here?

What about the ship?

If we blast it, problem solved.

We can't blast it.

Conventional weapons won't work.

So, we run.

We run?

Draw it away from Earth.

We're faster than him, right?

We're not faster than the Herald.

Well, we got a head start.

But that's all we got.

And he can still eat the Earth anyways.

Reed, you want to take us through what you have?

What I have?

Yeah.

What I have is nothing.

Nothing?

Did I say nothing?

I analyzed the samples Herbie took from Galactus's ship.

All evidence that suggests he predates our universe.

Our reality.

It could take ten years to understand its composition, let alone its existence.

Are you talking about a god?

I-I'm talking about something beyond our experience.

An unknown life who imagines, frankly,

is his successor and possessing some kind of cosmic power.

That can't be true.

You ran all those tests, right?

I have, but I don't know what it can and cannot be.

I'm not sure how long.

I'm not sure of anything.

I have nothing, honey.

I have nothing.

If we could solve something, any link in the chain.

E is the effort of force, R is the lever arm connected with the effort.

L is the load, R is the lever arm connected to the load.

Archimedes, the law of levers.

Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the Earth.

We need a lever.

Do you want to translate that?

Yeah, we solve the righted flaw problem, we solve the big Galactus one.

- Yes, yes. - Apparently.

Let's go look for levers.

Yep.

Y'know, You're supposed to sleep when the baby sleeps.

I've been wrong. I even read books.

He thinks the baby actually sleeps.

I gotta show you something.

- What do you want to show me? - This is really good.

He barely slept last night.

I'm sorry to hear that.

It's not like you chose this whole thing, being a mother, you know.

Sit down. Good.

Now I'll show you.

Alright.

I'm sure it smells.

It's pheromones, relax.

Mic.

I'm dragging back down on the camera.

Boha compero amhae

Is a blessing.

It means "die with yours".

Boha compero...

I told you I've heard that before.

Now, we have a sentence translated.

We can use that to figure out what all of this means.

I mean, we can build an algorithm, and then...

His big brain is busy.

I'm all over this.

Focus on the stone to find the hidden. in Archimedes lever.

See?

I can reference old stuff too.

The Fantastic Four has verified that an unknown spacecraft,

believed to be Galactus, has just passed Jupiter.

Financial institutions remain closed

while angry protesters hate.

The newly formed "Galactus" cult intends to summit Mount Everest.

Tempers boiled over in central London today, breaking out in violence.

And the whole world wonders, what is to be our fate?

Hey, what about us?

We got families too.

Guys, it's getting bad out there.

It seems to me they have no plan for Galactus.

We, as a society, have to reckon with the idea

that the Fantastic Four could save us

today, but they choose not to.

The idea is simple.

Reed Richards and Sue Storm hand over their baby and we all live.

One life...

They're scared.

Who isn't scared?

Dad.

He's scared.

Why?

They can't hurt us.

They're only scared because they hate us.

They think they might die and they hate us for it.

And they hate Franklin.

And they may be right because right now, we don't have a workable plan.

The clock is ticking.

So, their plan looks good.

It's mathematical, it's ethical and it's available.

What are you saying?

I'm not saying anything.

Oh, sweetie, it's okay.

No, Ben's wrong.

There's always people that can hurt you.

Sue, please hear me?

I would never give him up to Galactus.

I promise I would never do that.

Mathematical?

Ethical, available?

It is so easy to say that.

It means nothing.

Mm-mm, I'm tellling you right now, I know how your brain works.

It means you thought about it.

It means you rolled it around in your head and worked the problem.

Which means nothing.

It is my job to think terrible things so that terrible things don't happen.

That's not your job, Reed.

That's you.

Okay.

You're right, it is me.

I don't dream.

I don't wonder.

I invite the worst possible thing into my head

to figure out how to hurt them before they hurt anybody else.

And you know what?

Sometimes, sometimes you being you hurts me.

Well, I don't mean to.

Honey, come on.

Listen, honey, I'm going to solve this. I'm gonna make it right.

We don't know what he is or what he might become.

But I am not giving him up.

Please stop it!

I wanted to introduce you to someone.

This is our son, Franklin.

There's been a lot of talk about him.

Most of you know me.

You know my story.

When Johnny and I were kids, our parents were in a car crash.

Our dad was driving and-and he lived, but, um, our mom didn't.

I know what it's like to be part of a family that was torn apart.

Our dad wasn't always a great father, but he wanted to be.

He did his best.

He wanted us to be together because that's what family is.

It's about fighting for something bigger than yourself.

It's about connecting to something bigger than yourself.

It's about having something bigger than yourself.

And the four of us, the four of us already do because we have you.

You know, our mom always used to say, Susie,

for you, I would move heaven and earth.

And we'll do that for you.

I will not sacrifice my child for this world.

But I will not sacrifice this world for my child.

We will face this together.

We will fight this together.

And we will defeat this together.

As a family.

Archimedes.

The law of levers.

Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the earth.

We are going to move heaven and earth.

Well, just a - Sue?

You solved it.

- I did? - Yes.

We are going to move Earth to a place that Galactus will never find us.

How?

Well, we already have the lever.

The bridge.

The bridge is a prototype.

You looped an egg across the room.

You think you can do that with a planet?

We are out of options.

We have to make it work.

We will make it work.

Heaven and earth.

We interrupt this program with a special report.

And now an announcement from Reed Richards.

As you're about to see, we've solved the physics of teleportation.

Herbie?

The difference between a planet and an egg is only scale.

Starting immediately,

we will create teleportation bridges spanning the globe.

They will be synchronized and interconnected.

Capable of transporting our planet to a new solar system

within a 2% margin of the inhabitable zone.

But more importantly, away from Galactus

where he won't be able to find us for millions of years.

Time is not on our side.

We're reaching out to the world with a list of materials that we need in bulk.

Plutonium 239.

Plutonium?

Alright, people.

As my old man used to say, if you don't know what to do, pick up a shovel.

Fire it up.

We got bridges to build.

Let's go.

In the last 36 hours, we've seen an historical mobilization

of every country working together

in a way the world has never seen before.

With Galactus's ship deep within our solar system

and the Fantastic Four's "Hail Mary"

More than anything else, we're calling on every available man.

If you can do something well, now you can do it for your planet, y'know.

We are getting reports that Galactus has passed Mars.

Play the recording.

It takes too much power.

I only got this to work by tripling my intake, which

drained the New York City grid in two seconds.

To do this, there's not enough power in the world.

That would turn off every light switch on the planet.

For how long?

Factoring in the fact you're building bridges

so long as we need to conserve energy.

Sacrifices will be made.

We all need to conserve power at a scale never attempted before.

Quite right, Herbie.

All the power.

The worldwide energy curfew only works

if everybody does their part to conserve electricity.

Ooh, missed a spot.

Yeah, curfew Friday.

Now I look like an idiot.

Prepare to be cool.

Seriously?

I built this to see what you look like.

You see, most fathers want their sons to look exactly like them.

Inside and out.

But...

I don't want you to be like me.

There's something wrong with me.

Always has been.

The more I look at you,

the less I know.

And the less I know, the more scared I am.

So, you know what?

I'm not gonna look anymore.

From now on, you tell me who you are.

And if you'd like to tell me now, that would be helpful.

Especially if you're an all powerful space god.

I'd like to know that sooner rather than later, if you don't mind.

Oh, no.

You're good at peeing.

You're a very good boy.

Thanks, bud.

This is wonder for him.

Ours too.

Yup! Coming. I'm comey, come.

Guys? I am onto something.

We're moving a planet here, Johnny.

Here we go. Four.

Fantastic Four.

Let's move a planet.

Here.

New look.

Copy, Delhi.

And copy, London.

Copy, Paris.

India, we copy.

Come in.

Copy, Hatteras.

Copy, Trinidad

Copy, Prague.

Earth, calling to heaven.

Here we go.

Go.

20 - 19 - 18...

17 - 16 - 15...

14 - 13 - 12...

11 - 10 - 9...

8 - 7 - 6...

What is that?

What's happening?

She's coming for this bridge.

No.

She's coming for Franklin.

Lock him in the safe!

Wait.

Where's Johnny?

How do you know that name, and how did you get these?

How?

He barely has a grasp of the English language.

Twenty-three transmissions.

All in your language.

Traced back to the planet Semba.

Your home.

They were looking for you to thank you.

Once I translated one phrase,

I pieced together enough language

to understand part of your history.

You were some sort of scientist or astronomer.

When Galactus came, you offered to serve

as his scout to spare your planet.

Was it to spare your family?

He turned you into this.

Shalla-Bal.

Those were messages from the one planet Galactus spared.

Your planet.

These planets weren't so lucky.

How many do you remember, Shalla-Bal?

Proxima Delphi

saved this!

Your own Polaris?

They begged for mercy.

You brought Galactus to all of these planets.

And now, you're bringing him here!

To my home, to my family!

I'm just trying to save my world, you know.

Like you did.

So give him the child.

If he was older, he would do it himself.

Like I did.

So, take me.

Take me.

Not the boy.

Let me make the sacrifice.

It's not yours to make.

Then stay and help us.

There is no help.

Take the child and leave this doomed place.

May you live long enough to forgive yourself.

Johnny, that was incredible.

Does it even matter?

You saved Franklin.

Yes, it matters.

Reed?

We're not leaving, are we?

No. No, we're not.

We're not leaving.

Yes, I'm seeing here.

It's Lagos, uh...

This is Johnstown.

Can you hear me?

The line's clear but we got some of them.

Yes.

- This is London. Do you copy? - Hold, London.

We have to bring him here.

We need to bring Galactus here.

I'll come back to you, hold.

Call me back.

Hold on.

Reed, do we need Galactus to come here?

I feel like we just spent a lot of time.

trying to prevent that from happening.

Listen to me. We need to get him away from his ship.

We need to bring him here, to Times Square.

And then what?

And then, instead of moving the planet away from one giant

we move one giant away from the planet.

If we route every power grid

on the eastern seaboard through our

one last bridge, brought it back up

We can keep the portal open - for...

37 seconds.

Thirty...

Not a lot of time to throw a space god off a planet.

No, it is not.

And where do we send him?

To the far reaches of the universe.

Without a ship, he'll be stranded.

How are we supposed to get Galactus to Times Square?

How do we move one giant through one large bridge?

I haven't figured that part out yet.

You have.

Then, what?

We have to use the only thing Galactus wants.

No.

I'll think of another way.

What are you talking about?

You can't.

You can't think of another way.

- I will. - There is only one way.

What are you talking about?

You have to use Franklin.

Yes.

You wanna use the boy?

You want to use the boy as bait.

No.

That's your cover?

No.

That's not my plan. That's our plan.

It's the only plan.

It's not my plan.

I hate that plan.

- It's a bad play. Come on. - Terrible.

- That's a stupid plan. - Why don't I just burn his ship?

That's another plan.

- Hey, Reed, that has your name on it. - It's him we're talkin' about

There's gotta be a different way.

- I know. - Sue...

- Sue. - It's not my fault...

Back off. You're on your own!

I thought this was one of the most beautiful things we ever built.

It feels kind of funny now.

It can be beautiful again.

Everything can.

They've been gone a while.

Johnny...

Go check, see if they're back.

I am in no rush to do that.

- Well, I'm definitely not gonna check. - I'm definitely not going either.

- Thank you for going and checking on 'em. - You're welcome.

It's the least I could do to say "Benjamin".

- You could go down to check. - I'm definitely not going down.

- No... - Jesus!

Please don't do that.

I hate it when you do that.

Exactly.

Come on.

Let's run through the details.

I don't like when she do the door.

It's like...

It's unsettling when people just appear.

Like that.

Fog proof.

Shock proof.

Radiation proof.

Franklin will go here when Galactus arrives.

Hey, do we know what direction Galactus will be comin' from?

Oh, it could be from anywhere.

But when he crosses those lines, we trigger it.

We're in the very center of the city.

We're surrounded by miles of apartment buildings.

Any path he takes, he's gonna be going

through thousands and thousands of families.

I have an idea you will hate.

My. Very advanced.

So, this must be where the sausage is made.

I think I'd prefer just trying to steal the sausage.

Don't touch.

We'll fix that.

Hello there, little robot man.

Could you dim the lights for me, please?

Harvey, we wanted to ask you something.

And whatever it is, I would like him

to ask me.

It's not - it's not Reed or me asking.

It's the entire planet asking.

Well, it wouldn't be the entire planet, now, would it?

Just the "over" part.

No, Mr. Elder. We've met Galactus.

He'll eat the "under" part first.

Well, regardless, why don't you butter me up?

Spread it on.

Okay, Moleman.

Moleman!

I-I dunno.

Alright, stop.

Mr. Elder to you!

Give us a minute.

Guys, give us a minute.

Yes, that's it.

Johnny, don't be mad. I didn't dress you.

Don't listen to him.

Your handsome.

Harvey...

I'm sorry, Sue.

End of days.

We all gotta learn how to laugh.

So, what do you need?

Evacuation orders are in effect in the greater New York area.

Please look up "Subterranea".

Welcome to "Subterranea".

The underground.

Welcome for the sunshiners.

Just do me a favor and just wipe your feet when you come in, sir.

I'm kidding, it's all dirt.

Today, the people of earth prepare for what could be our final moments.

The hours ahead may feel long.

But we must use them to support each other.

And we must hope.

We must dare to hope.

We must use the time wisely,

to be with those we cherish.

- Hiya. - Hey.

Hey.

Uh, welcome.

Very distinguished.

I'm surprised to see you here. I...

You come for spiritual guidance?

Oh, no, no.

I just came to see you.

A greeting to Galactus with these words.

Never doubt that a small group

of thoughtful, dedicated citizens can change the world.

Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

Places.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't cry.

I'm gonnna be there for you.

Just a couple more steps.

Caring for bugs.

He's going for Franklin!

Eyes on Johnny!

Ben!

Oh, my god!

- What time is it, Ben? - No. Not it.

What time is it, Ben?

- No, Johnny. - Say it!

I don't wanna!

Say it!

It's clobberin' time!

You are my salvation.

My deliverance from this vicious hunger.

Time to feed.

Put down my son!

Come...

Come on, Sue!

Get Franklin!

Stop!

He's our son!

Try to control him.

Cuttin' loose!

Johnny, now!

Reed. Fours.

Tell Frank who Uncle Johnny is.

Sue.

Sue?

Hang onto him. Sue.

No...

No. Sue, Sue?

- Is she breathing? - No.

No. No, baby, no.

Please stay with me. Stay with me, okay?

Stay with me, Sue. Stay with it, baby.

Stay with it, baby.

Come on, Sue!

Come on, Sue!

Stay with us.

Don't leave us.

Sue!

Come on, baby!

Be sad.

He's not us.

He's more.

Wow, so we have so much exciting ground to cover today.

In the last year, a lot has happened.

We have seen it with our own eyes.

But tonight, we're gonna see it through theirs.

There's nothing to be nervous about, you know, we just did the room.

This is gonna be done before you know it.

Obvious to say, but it is definitely worth talking about.

is the fact that the surfboard is not part of the body.

Okay, so, Ted wanted me to give you something as a thank you for doing this.

Interesting.

He would love it if Franklin would wear it for this in one minute.

No, actually, no, I don't think we can.

Well, I will break the bad news.

Thank you, madam.

You're welcome.

Places, please.

It's too early.

Way too early.

Is it too early or is that how it's done.

He knows where his powers will take him.

But, right now, he's here.

Explorers, heroes, citizens

or leaders, they continue to change,

becoming whatever we need them to be, whenever we need them.

Ladies and gentlemen, just when you thought we cannot love, admire,

or appreciate them any more than we do, now they're 25% more fantastic,

Reed, Sue, Johnny, Ben and Franklin, The Fantastic Five!

Precious cargo, comin' through.

Let's do this.

No, I set that already.

Let's scoot this power seat.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

I gotta set it in here pretty close.

There.

It's gonna make that noise until

you thread the belt under the chair

and when you get it to the other side.

Oh, you got a few who didn't think of dealing with that.

Yeah, I'm doin' it. I'm doin' it

- Well, let him feel it. - I've got...

- Johnny, too steady. - I'm doin'. I'm doin'.

I'll have it done.

Let's do this all over.

- You got it, Ben. - No you've got to finish that.

You gotta bend to connect it, and then pull the slack

- Then tighten this here. - Imagine he rose, huh.

Just twist on the bottom. Twist on the bottom.

- You know you got it. - Pull the slack.

Pull the slack, then thread through.

I'd hate to. Now you...

you do the last piece from above.

Three, two, one.

Oh! Yes!

That's a good sound!

Yes!

Okay, we're done.
