Babe, what are you doing?

I'm looking for the aloe iodine.

It's not here.

Yeah, because that's not where it is.

Babe, can you give me 12 seconds
and I will come and get it for you?

Twelve seconds is specific.

Wow, these are very expired.

Okay. Betadine. Chlorhexidine...

No iodine.

Right. Thanks.

But...

Well, that's not...

We tried for two years.

I know. I know, babe.

I mean, we don't even
talk about it anymore.

Talking was not the important part.

It wasn't gonna be for us,
and we were okay with that.

We were okay, but...

Well...

This is better.

Yes. It's...

It's a lot better, isn't it?

This is great.

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

No, Reed.

- ...monitoring for further cosmic effects.
- Reed.

We can do this.

Okay?

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.

Well, now, folks.

Folks, we all know the story.

Four brave astronauts head up into space,
encounter a bit of 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.

This is Excelsior Launch Control.
T-minus 3 hours, 42 minutes, 19 seconds.

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

the exploration of space.

The best pilot in the world, right here.

Yeah. The best-looking he means.

It was my mission, space exploration.

I assembled the best scientific minds
to come along,

who also happened to be my best friend,
my wife and my brother-in-law.

Comms check. Everybody, sound off.

- Check.
- Check, check.

- Check.
- Comms are live.

That last voice you just heard
was my baby brother, Jonathan Storm,

and, ladies, he is very single.

- Kiss for luck.
- Kiss?

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

that changed not only the lives
of these courageous individuals...

Verify go for launch.

Go for launch.

...but also the course of our history.

- Come in, Excelsior. Come in, Excelsior.
- What is that?

I don't know! I don't know!

It must be the cosmic rays.

- Ben! Ben!
- Ben!

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

Stop.

...we encountered a cosmic storm
that altered our DNA.

We came back with anomalies.

And they returned with superpowers.

They became our protectors.

Cannonball!

It's clobberin' time!

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

The Fantastic Four saved my life.

Mole Man's attempt
to steal the Pan Am building

was thwarted by the Fantastic Four.

This is all Reed Richards's fault.
Him and his endless pursuit of progress.

Power to the underground!

And when the Mad Thinker
tried to sabotage New York City

the Fantastic Four came to our rescue.

Gotcha!

Have a great day!

They defeated Red Ghost
and his Super-Apes.

They became our inspiration.

This equation not only confirms
alternate dimensions,

but it suggests parallel Earths exist
on different dimensional planes.

Who wants to see a big explosion?

Me!

And they became our leaders.

Sue Storm brokers peace deal
with Harvey "Mole Man" Elder,

leader of the underground nation,
Subterranea.

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

But I do trust Sue.

We have come together today to form
a new charter, the Future Foundation.

All participating countries

agree to dismantle their armed forces.

And on this 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!
- We love you, Fantastic Four.

- I love you, Johnny!
- Fantastic Four, we love you!

- Thank you, Fantastic Four.
- Thank you, Fantastic Four.

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,
that was all a bit aggrandizing.

- Yeah.
- H.E.R.B.I.E.

- H.E.R.B.I.E. with the herbs.
- How's that sauce looking?

Don't do that.
Wash your hands first, please.

- I was wearing my gloves the whole time.
- Just wash your hands.

Let me try that.

Okay.

Okay. Is this guy good?

That is fantastic.

- Let me try.
- It's incredible stuff.

Stop. Don't do that.

Don't do that. It's not quite done.

No, it's not quite done.

No, it could be done,
but I'm gonna 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?

- I mean, you're gonna ruin your appetite.
- I'm hungry.

They're never late for Sunday dinner.

Should we wait?

I guess.

You're late.

What do you mean?

What do you mean, what do I mean?
You're late for dinner.

Yes, we are. We're late for dinner.

- By a single minute.
- Yes, we were just...

I had to put some aloe iodine
on my shoulder and...

Just had to do his shoulder and...

Why is there breakfast cereal
on the dinner table?

Why are you being weird?

- We're not being weird.
- We're not acting weird.

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

Well, we don't know
what you're talking about.

Are you pregnant?

- Yeah, we're pregnant.
- Yes, yes.

How did you know that?

- Have you looked at your husband's face?
- I know.

He just cannot keep a secret.

- Wait, what? Really?
- Yeah.

What?

You are gonna be the best mom. Oh, my God.

And you are gonna be the best dad.

Just kidding. You are out of your depth.

But we... we're gonna be
the best uncles ever.

- Okay, we should eat.
- Okay.

You're handling this well, you know.

I figured you'd be locked in your lab
drenched in a panic sweat.

I have that scheduled for later.

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.

All right, H.E.R.B.I.E.,
let's start the baby prep.

Yancy Street bookies are putting
the odds of a girl at 4-to-5,

but chances of twins are a long shot.

Herbert!

H.E.R.B.I.E.!

The oil and gas cowboys
want a minute to yell at you

before you go on maternity leave.

Speaking of, coal lobby.

Lynne, when you see Sue...

Larry, I will tell her when I see her.

Thank you, Lynne.

The question on everybody's mind is,

"Will the baby be born with superpowers?"

H.E.R.B.I.E., we need to scan the baby.

The Interna-Scan hasn't achieved the right
level of precession for clear imaging.

New deep space transmission?

Let's identify its origin.

Shall we record and file it?

2:15? What 2:15?
I don't have any meetings today.

Reed.

- Oh, that 2:15.
- Thank you for making the time.

Johnny, do we have to today?

I had 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 busy, Johnny.

I'm busy. I'm busy.

There's a difference.

New transmission today.

Have you listened to it yet?

More of the same. It's a complex signal.

Knock yourself out.

Johnny, I'm running a test.

Cool.

I got time.

Bridge teleportation test.

Movement of organic matter, six meters.

- Glasses.
- Thank you, Herbert.

Sparky.

Let's run it.

It worked.

- Johnny.
- Yep?

Could you reset the breaker?

Other way.

Babe?

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

Hello, H.E.R.B.I.E.

I...

I just went by the nursery.

How's it looking?

It's looking like
H.E.R.B.I.E.'s building the crib.

Which I kinda thought was a you deal.

I built this instead.

Anyone can build a crib.
Only I can build this.

Anyone can build a crib,
but not ours. Not for him.

This is for him.

Because unlike anyone else, his parents
have cosmically compromised DNA.

Reed.

Reed, we have done every test.

Well, not this one.

You wanna see?

Fine.

Let's see.

See? There's nothing wrong with him.

He's absolutely perfect.

That is such a bullshit way
to win an argument.

- Happy Halloween.
- Happy Halloween.

Easy with the candy.

- Hi, Ben.
- Hi, Heather.

Hey, Ben. How's Sue doing?

Yeah, she's getting close.
She was craving some Maisie's cookies.

Hey! What time is it? Say the thing.

That's not really something I say.

It's clobberin' time!

It's just in the cartoon. Sorry, sir.

Oh, my God. There he is!

Hey! Lift the car!

- Lift it!
- You want me to lift up a car?

- This car? Right here?
- Lift the car! Lift the car!

You guys are gonna get me in trouble.

I'll... I'll try.

Can't do it.

- Come on. You can do it!
- All right. I'll try one more time.

Lift the car! Lift the car!
Lift the car! Lift the...

Throw the car! Throw it.

- Throw the car? All right.
- Yeah, throw the car.

Okay, everyone. Settle down.
Back to your game.

Hey, maybe throw it next time.
That'll show 'em.

No, no, no. It's okay. I love kids.

Spend the day with ten fourth-grade girls

and you may begin to rethink that.

Rachel Rozman.

- I'm Ben.
- I know.

You grew up near on Yancy, yeah?

Right there.

Very near.

You know,
it feels really good being back here.

I like that everything stays the same.

Like Maisie's? The best.

The black-and-white cookies were always
my favorite when I was a kid, but...

we used to steal 'em back then.

Okay. Well, maybe step inside next time.

Kids would love to see ya.

Yeah. Okay. I will. I'll bring cookies.

Oh, yeah? Okay.

Yeah, I'll bring cookies.

All right.

Sweet Jesus.

It doesn't matter how long you beat it,

you'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. Always have been.

Hey. Why the long face?

What of it?

Sounds like your 2:15
with Reed didn't go well.

I'm sorry, pal.

Hey, I'm fine, you know? I don't mind.
It's just...

- I hear ya. We'll go to space again.
- Yeah, we will.

Nice.

I'm Johnny Storm. Flame on.

Flame on. Flame on. Flame...

Flame off.

Down.

Fantastic Kitchen, down.

Whoops.

- Stop it.
- I finished the crib.

Included two extras. I don't know why.

Thank you.

- Go time.
- No, it's okay.

This... This is me.

For the last few months,

I've been tracking a small number
of criminal organizations.

A small number, huh?

Forty-seven of them,

including the Puppet Master in the Bowery,

the Wizard in Gramercy Park

and Diablo in Washington Heights.

You babyproofed the world.

- It's a sweet gesture.
- It's a thorough gesture.

But I like punching.

- You mean "clobbering"?
- No, I mean "punching."

- Let's eat.
- Hey, what time is it?

It's dinnertime. Get inside.

- You sure it's not clobberin' time?
- Stop it.

- Johnny.
- On it.

What the hell?

Would you look at that?

Stand clear. I need everybody to
remain calm and clear the area.

Stay back. Out of the way.

- Get back.
- Out of the way. Get back.

Breaking news from Times Square.

There appears to be an object in the sky,

debris raining down and some sort...

Are you the protectors of this world?

Yes, we are.

Your planet is now marked for death.

Your world will be consumed
by The Devourer.

There is nothing you can do to stop him.

For he is a universal force.

As essential as the stars.

Hold your loved ones close,

and speak the words
you've been afraid to speak.

Use this time to rejoice and celebrate,

for your time is short.

I herald his beginning.

I herald your end.

I herald...

Galactus.

Scientists around the world are trying
to verify the origin

of this unknown space creature...

Are you tracking her?

She is too fast to track, Johnny.

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.

- He 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.

And not just disappeared.

Destroyed.

Wait, you're saying
these planets disappearing,

that's connected 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 is in 16.

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

- I'll start the nav plot.
- Hey, guys...

H, you wanna buzz the prep team
and I'll meet you down there?

She spoke to me. The herald.
She spoke to me.

She spoke to all of us, Johnny.
Galactus, devouring...

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

What did she say?

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

Well, what were the context clues?

Context. Space.

And what was the tone?

Angry? Threatening?

No, no, no. Not at all. It was...

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 it was kind of...

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 repeated language
and 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.

It's flame-retardant.

Maxed out 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.

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 occasion led to the accident
that mutated them

and gave them those fan...

What we learned was that
the unknown also meant fear.

And profound, radical change.

Hiya, pal.

Johnny showed me the new suit.

It's pretty spiffy,
especially compared to the old ones.

Well, the old ones...

weren't adequate.

Who could've known?

Me.

- I could've known.
- Stop.

Please. You gotta stop
beating 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, not a science.

- Did you pass your driver's test?
- That was due to poorly marked signage.

This Galactus, this herald,
they got 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.

The second the engines fire,
everything you do from then on

will be the first time a pregnant woman
has done them in the history of the world.

I know.

I really do.

And just because I'm not talking about it
doesn't mean I'm not thinking about it.

About him.

I really love my new suit.

It's really your old one,
it's just a lot bigger.

Bluer.

It is actually bluer. Just a little extra
around the sides is all.

This is Excelsior Launch Control.

T-minus two hours, 37 minutes, 20 seconds.

Here we stand prepared
to face a danger that is unknown.

A danger that has threatened our home,

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.

Twelve, eleven,

ten, nine, eight, seven...

Starting ignition sequence.

...six, five, four, three...

Go for launch.

...two, one.

The Excelsior has liftoff.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a successful launch.

And from all of us on Earth,
we wish you good luck.

And Godspeed.

Thank you, Earth.

You seeing that?

Approaching the FTL engine.

Wait for my signal, Sue.

Yeah.

And three, two, one. Mark.

And we are locked.

And clear for FTL navigation.

Faster-than-light in three, two, one.

So the herald's energy signature tracks
to 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?
- Cool.

We don't know.
But it's basic tactical science.

Observe, assess capabilities,

have H.E.R.B.I.E. collect any liquid,
gas, solid materials,

analyze his physiology.

Look, if he's just some big guy in a ship,
then yes, you can punch him out.

Coming 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's this Galactus?

That's strange.

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

What the hell is happening to that planet?

Is there something alive down there?

What is that?

- Ben!
- I'm on it!

Dropping us out of FTL.

Watch out!

Sue, hide us!

It's all gone. The whole planet.

And it was 13% larger than Earth.

- Ben!
- It's not responding. I'm locked out.

H.E.R.B.I.E.,
try to stabilize the engines.

- What's going on?
- It's got us. It's pulling us in.

Ben, save the engines.

Save the engine!

Johnny...

your girlfriend's back.

Hi.

Galactus will see you.

- I'll go.
- All of you.

You should not have come.

Follow.

Scan everything and collect samples.

Affirmative.

What does Galactus want?

He doesn't want. He feeds.

How does he choose
which planets to consume?

He does not.

You choose.

Yes.

Johnny. What are you doing?

I'm gonna charm her.

So what did you say to me?

When you threw me off your board?

What did you say?

It's 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...

So she dumped you already?

No. It went well.

You stand before Galactus.

The Devourer of Worlds honors you.

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.

You carry the power to save your world.

Yes. I believe we do.

Inside her.

The child.

- What the hell?
- What...

He hungers.

What does that mean?

I will spare your world.

In exchange for the boy.

What? No.

He possesses the Power Cosmic,

and he will inherit this cursed throne.

It's not true. He's normal.

We would know.
I would know. I tested the child.

- He hides his nature from you.
- No.

What are you doing to her?

Baby's coming. The baby's coming.

- Now?
- Yeah.

You will not have our planet.

And you will never have our son!

I will eat your planet slowly

while your child watches.

No you don't!

I'm coming, buddy!

Go, go, go, go!

H.E.R.B.I.E., prep all systems
for immediate launch.

No!

No!

Surfboard, not part of the body.

Come on.

H.E.R.B.I.E.!

Come on.

Get us out of here, Ben!

Hang in there, Suze, I'll get you home.

Get us to the FTL!

FTL in visual range.

- Babe.
- I'm here, Sue. I'm here.

Surfer on our six.

Attach then jump.

- And go where?
- Anywhere! Just jump!

H.E.R.B.I.E., I'm gonna need your help
stabilizing this thing.

Hold on!

Ben!

We lost her. All clear.

She's still on us.

Johnny, kill her.

- Really?
- Yeah. She wants to take your nephew.

- Kill her!
- All right. All right.

Just when I finally met
someone interesting.

It's bending the beam!

The wormhole is bending the beam!

Reed, I can't get a lock on her!

All right. Figure it out. Come on.

Reed, what's the plan?

Johnny, quit screwing around.

Do I tell you how to drive the ship?
Don't tell me how to kill sexy aliens!

Stop calling her sexy.

Yes! Yes!

- Yes!
- Yes!

She's back!

- Reed, I can't shake her.
- Working on it!

- She's slippery!
- 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?

Taking us out.

What's the plan?

Draw her close enough to the star,
she'll get stuck in the gravity well.

There'll be a time dilation.

- How much of a dilation?
- Is it more than mine?

It'll take her a month to break free.

Take us in, Ben.

Reed, we could get sucked in.

Ben, trust me.

Hang on.

Come on.

It's chewing us up!

Get closer.

It's chewing us up!

A little closer!

Come on, Reed. What are we doing?

Sue, we need 30 seconds of invisibility.
Can you do it?

After your next contraction.

- Yes!
- Hell, yeah!

You all right, Sue?

We need to strap you down.

- Strapping her down.
- Do not strap me down!

Not strapping her down.

Baby, you need gravity to push.

This is not right.
It's not how it's supposed to be.

I know, I know.

But we're gonna make it work.

You're doing wonderful, my love.

We don't have enough juice to get home.

Oh, no.

No, we do not.

I can slingshot around the star,
draft off its orbital momentum.

We need to get to .88 speed of light.

Reed!

- Johnny, the velocity gauge.
- Reed!

On it.

- I'm here.
- Don't go. Don't go.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm right here.

Beginning slingshot. Here we go.

Coming up on .82.

On your mark, Johnny.

Why... Why do they wanna take him?
Something is wrong with him.

- There's nothing wrong with him.
- You don't know that.

- I do. I do know.
- No, you don't.

You know everything,
but you don't know that.

- What if he's a monster?
- He's not a monster.

- Everything's gonna change.
- Nothing is gonna change.

- Everything's gonna change.
- I promise you.

- I promise.
- You can't promise that.

- Reed...
- Okay.

He's coming. He's coming.

Give me your hand.

...84. Ben!

Come on!

- Sue. Push.
- No.

- Yes, you can.
- ...85.

- Ready?
- Okay.

One, two, three, push!

- Come on!
- ...86!

Push. Push. That's good.

...87.

- Mark!
- Ben!

H.E.R.B.I.E.

Ben, help!

Thrusters engaged.

H.E.R.B.I.E., get ready!

Hold on, everyone.

I got you, little guy.

Franklin.

After a monthlong return trip,
the Fantastic Four are finally home

and receiving a warm welcome.

Her baby!

Oh, my God. Unbelievable.

- Lynne, we're going to need--
- Come this way.

Reed! Reed!

- Move back!
- Dr. Richards, over here!

- Can we get a word?
- Stand back. Make a path.

Sue! Sue!

They're ready for you. Step up.
Just keep it brief.

I'm sorry.
We don't have a prepared statement.

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

Connor.

Welcome back. Could you take us through
how you defeated Galactus?

How we de...

We didn't.

Not yet. Not yet, we didn't.

What does that mean?

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.

We're gonna... We're gonna circle back

with a more detailed statement...

- You said no?
- What does that mean for us?

Could giving Galactus the child save us?

Hang on-- You can't just...

Just answer this. Answer this.

Are we safe?

- Are we safe?
- Yeah.

I don't know.

- What do you mean, you don't know?
- You don't know?

What do you mean, you don't know?
What do you mean, you don't know?

I'm sorry.

I've 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?
- And what do we do when he gets here?

What about the ship?
We blast it. Problem solved.

You can't blast it.
Conventional weapons won't work.

- So, we run.
- We run?

Draw him away from Earth.
We're faster than him, right?

- Not faster than the herald.
- Well, we got a head start.

Yeah, but that's all we've got, and then
he could 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 you say nothing?

I analyzed the samples H.E.R.B.I.E. took
from Galactus's ship.

All evidence suggests
he predates our universe, our reality.

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

You're talking about a god?

I'm talking about something
beyond our experience.

An unknowable life...

who imagines Franklin as 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 can or cannot be.

I'm not sure how long.
I'm not sure of anything. I...

I have nothing. I...

I have nothing.

If we could solve something,

any link in the chain...

E is the effort force, R is the lever arm
connected to 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.

You wanna translate that?

Yeah, we solve the right small problem,
we solve the big Galactus one.

Yes. Yes.

All right, boys, let's go look for levers.

Yep.

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

I've been, you know, reading the books.

He thinks the baby actually sleeps.

It's a blessing.

It's a blessing.

I gotta show you something.

What do you wanna show me?

- It's really good.
- I 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. I gotta show you.
Just trust me.

Okay. All right.

Johnny, it smells.

It's pheromones. Relax. All right.

Racking back the helmet cam.

It's a blessing.

It means, "Die with yours."

I told you I'd heard that before.

Now we have a sentence translated,

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

I mean, Reed could build an algorithm,
and then...

His big brain is busy.

I'm all over this.

A Rosetta stone to find him
an Archimedes lever.

See?

I can reference old stuff too.

There you go. Good boy.

Fantastic Four has verified
that an unknown spacecraft

believed to be Galactus
has just passed Jupiter.

Financial institutions remain closed
as angry protestors take to...

The newly formed Galactus cult intends
to summit Mount Ev--

Tempers boiled over
in Central London today,

breaking out in violence,
as 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?
- No.

The idea is simple.

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

One life...

Where are you?

Get down from your high tower.

You're supposed to protect us!

Give up the baby!

- They're scared.
- Who isn't scared?

That is scary.

Why? They can't hurt us.

Well, it's scary 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, sweetheart. It's all right, buddy.

You know Ben's wrong.
There's always people that can hurt you.

Sue, please hear me.

I would never give him up to Galactus.
I would never do that.

"Mathematical? Ethical? Available?"
It was just so easy for you to say that.

It means nothing.

It means I know you,
I know how your brain works.

It means you've thought about it.

Means you've rolled it around in your head
and you've worked the problem.

Which means nothing.

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

It'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.

I know. I know.

I know.

Listen, I am 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.

You're selfish.

How can you bring him out here?

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 he lived,

but our mom didn't.

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

Our dad, he 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,

"Suzie, for you,
I would move heaven and earth."

And we would 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.

"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 earth.

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 moved 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.

H.E.R.B.I.E.

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.

I'm reaching out to the world
with a list of materials

that we need in bulk.

Plutonium-239.

All right, people.

Like 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.

The last 36 hours has 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 in the balance,

we are calling on every helping hand.

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

We are getting reports
that Galactus has passed Mars.

H.E.R.B.I.E., record.

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 isn't enough
power in the world.

I'd have to turn off
every light switch on the planet.

For how long?

Factoring in
we gotta keep building bridges,

how long would we need to conserve power?

Sacrifices will be made.

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

Quite right, H.E.R.B.I.E.

All the power.

The worldwide energy curfew only works

if everybody does their part
to conserve electricity.

Missed a spot.

Yeah. Curfew fried it.
Now I look like an idiot.

Beard could be cool.

Seriously?

I built this to see what you looked 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.

I'm gonna let 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 busy peeing.

You're a very good boy.

Thanks, buddy.

This is going to work.

It has to.

Yes! Yes!

Yep, coming. Coming, coming, coming.

Guys, I am onto something.

Moving a planet here, Johnny.

Yeah, Johnny. It's four. Fantastic Four.

Let's move a planet.

- Cool beard.
- You mean that? Thank you.

Copy, Delhi.

Let's do this. London, stand by.

Yes, copy, London.

Copy, Paris.

- Lima, do you copy?
- Copy, Rome.

- Copy, Delhi.
- Copy, Vienna.

Copy, Prague.

- Chicago, stand by.
- Copy, Chicago.

Earth go for countdown.

Here we go, folks.

Go.

20, 19...

18, 17, 16...

15, 14, 13...

12...

11...

10, 9, 8...

7, 6...

- What is that?
- What's happening?

- She's going for this bridge.
- No.

She's coming for Franklin.

- Oh, my God.
- Lock the building down!

Wait. Where's Johnny?

- Shalla-Bal.
- Shalla-Bal.

Shalla-Bal!

You understand these messages...

You know my language?

I've learned about you.

Shalla-Bal.

How do you know that name?

And how did you get these?

Die with yours.

How? He barely has a grasp
of the English language.

Twenty-three transmissions,

all in your language,

trace back to the planet Zenn-La.

Your home.

They were looking for you, to thank you.

Once I translated one phrase,

I pieced together enough language
to understand a part of your history.

You were some sort of scientist
or astronomer.

When Galactus came,
you offered to serve as his scout

if he'd 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. Saigas.

Do you remember 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!

Just trying to save my world, you know,

like you did.

So give up 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.

Maybe you'll live long enough
to forgive yourselves.

- Johnny, that was incredible.
- I mean, 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.

Yeah. Same here.
You gotta give us a second.

Yeah, this is Johnny Storm.
Can you hear me?

- The line's too busy. I'm sorry, okay?
- This is London.

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

What's going on?

Hold, Paris. Paris, hold.

- The line's not very clear.
- There's an error. Hold the line.

Chicago, yes, we're onto it.
We're just... We're fixing the problem.

We're trying to get...
We're trying to get on top of this.

Sydney, stand by.

- Tokyo, stand by.
- Sir, you're going to have to be patient.

- Hold. Hold.
- Yeah, we're working on...

- We have to bring him here.
- We're fixing something.

We are aware.

Yes, I understand. Can you stand by?

- We are aware. I'll... I'll update you.
- Yeah.

Yeah. This is gonna have to...

We need to bring Galactus here.

- I will come back to you. Hold...
- You...

- Call you back.
- Hold up.

Reed.

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 a 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,

charge back up,

we can keep the portal open for...

Thirty-seven 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 edges of the universe.
Without a ship, he'll be stranded.

How are we supposed to
get Galactus to Times Square?

And how do we move one giant
through one large bridge?

I haven't figured that part out yet.

You have.

Have 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?

We have to use Franklin.

Yes.

You wanna use the boy?

You wanna use the boy as bait.

- No.
- That's your plan?

No, it's not my plan. It's our plan.

It's the only plan.

- It's not my plan. I hate that plan.
- It's a bad plan.

- Come on. That's a stupid plan.
- Terrible idea.

Why don't I just burn through his ship?
That's another plan.

It's your kid we're talking about.

- Sue.
- There's gotta be a different way.

- I know.
- Sue. Sue.

Yes, I know. I know. I know!

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

Feels terrifying now.

It can be beautiful again.

Everything can.

They've been gone a while.

Johnny.

Go check. See if they're back.

I'm 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.

You're welcome. It's the least I could do

to say thank you for going down
to check first.

I'm definitely not going down.

Chickenshits.

Jesus.

Don't do that.

- I hate it when you do that.
- Don't do that.

Come on. Let's run through the details.

I don't like when she does that.

It's like... It's unsettling
when people just appear like that.

Bombproof. Shockproof.

Radiation-proof.

Franklin will go here
when Galactus arrives.

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

Well, 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 got an idea you'll hate.

Oh, my.

Very advanced.

So this must be where the sausage is made.

I think I prefer just trying
to steal the sausage.

Please, don't touch.

We'll fix that.

Harvey...

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 Reed or me asking.

It's the entire planet asking.

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, Mole Man.

- Mole Man? Really?
- You touch another piece of my--

Take the "mole" out of it.

- It's Mr. Elder to you.
- That is enough.

Give us a minute. Just give us a minute.

Yes, that's it.

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

Don't listen to him. You're handsome.

Harvey.

I'm sorry, Sue. I'm...

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 report to Subterranea.

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

Please report to Subterranea.

Welcome to Subterranea.

Hello there.

Welcome, sunshiners.

Thank you so much.

Yes, do me a favor
and just wipe your feet upon entering.

I'm kidding. It's all dirt.

Please, keep a move on.

Good evening.

We, 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.

- Hey, Mrs. H.
- Thank you, Ben.

We must use the time wisely

to be with the ones we cherish.

Keep hope, all right?

What?

Sorry, just... Hi.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You're looking very distinguished.

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

Did you come for spiritual guidance?

Oh, no, no.

I just came to see you.

I leave you tonight with these words.

"Never doubt that a small group
of thoughtful, committed citizens

can change the world.

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

Positions.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Don't cry.

I'll be back in a minute, little guy.

Just a couple more steps.

Come on, come on.

Clever little bugs.

He's going for Franklin.

Light him up, Johnny.

Ben!

Oh, my God.

What time is it, Ben?

No.

- 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.

Sue. Sue, stop.

Sue, stop. It's too much.

- Get Franklin.
- Sue, stop!

Save our son.

Johnny, the controls.

Hang on, Suze!

Johnny, now!

Reed! It worked.

No!

Tell Franklin Uncle Johnny loves him.

Sue.

Sue?

No, no, no. No, no, no.

- I got him.
- Sue.

No. Sue. Sue.

- She breathing?
- No.

No. No, baby. No.

You stay with us. You stay with us, okay?

Stay with me, Sue.
Stay with us, baby. Stay with us, baby.

Come on, Sue.

Come on, Sue, stay with us.

Don't leave us, baby.

Sue!

Come on, baby!

I'm sorry.

Hey.

He's not us.

He's more.

Wow, folks. We have so much
exciting ground to cover today.

The last year, a lot has happened.

We have seen it with our own eyes,

but tonight we're gonna
see it through theirs.

Our city, our country and our planet...

No. And there's nothing
to be nervous about.

You just stick with me. This thing
will be done before we 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. Absolutely not.

No, I don't think we can.

Well, I will break the bad news.

- Thank you, Lynne.
- You're welcome.

Places, please.

- It's too early.
- Way too early.

It's too early for that kind of stuff.

He can't even sit up without help.

I did not have time
to eat breakfast this morning...

- You need something?
- ...so if only I could eat a magic baby.

- Get his hair. Get that hair.
- No. Don't... Don't try me.

Who knows where his powers will take him?

But right now, he's here.

What's that guy doing?

- Who's that right there?
- Hi, cutie.

Frankie.

You got him?

Explorers, heroes, citizens or leaders.

They continue to change,

becoming whatever we need them to be
whenever we need.

- We're going in ten...
- Ladies and gentlemen,

just when you thought
we couldn't love, admire

or appreciate them any more than we do,

and they're now 25% more fantastic,

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

Precious cargo. Coming through.

Is this...

No, I've set that already.

- You've already set it?
- Let's get this car seat in nice.

All right, just make sure that it...

- Hold on, wait. Set the...
- Right, pull up.

Wait, wait. I gotta set it in first
before you close it.

- Set it in before you...
- There.

It's gonna make that noise until
you thread the belt under the chair...

- All right.
- ...and you get it through the other side.

- You gotta feed it through the buckle.
- Yeah. I'm doing it.

- Well, I don't feel anything.
- I can't...

- Johnny, you just hook it under the chair.
- Yep, it's through.

- All right, I got it.
- Through the buckle.

Let's move this along, fellas.

You gotta thread it. You gotta...

That's not... That isn't gonna help.

You gotta thread it through, connect it

- and then pull the slack.
- I've thread it through.

Yeah, but you didn't pull the slack.

Just push from above. Push from above.

- No, you gotta...
- Pull the slack!

Okay, I'll get-- I've pulled the slack.
It's thread through.

- All right.
- I can't fit my hands in there.

You from the left. You from above.
Three, two, one.

Got it.

- Yes! Yes!
- That's a good sound.

Okay, we're ready.

"He pushed his way out

- and he was a butterfly."
- "He was a butterfly."

You want the other book, don't you?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Back in a second, babe.

H.E.R.B.I.E., have you seen
the book that Franklin loves?

Not that one. We did that one yesterday,
and I know he loves it, but thi...

Here we are. It's here.

You see, we're going for something
a little bit more fun today. Yeah?

Changed by cosmic rays from space

Now they save the human race

Sue Storm commands the light

Johnny's flames burn blazing bright

Ben is rocking the world with might

And Reed bends science left and right

It's Red Ghost and his Super-Apes!

It's clobberin' time!

Join the fight and even the score

Get ready to watch Fantastic Four
