All language subtitles for Originally Aired 09-27-1966 Tue Hulk Ep 04 The Power of Doctor Banner.ia

At the missile base headquarters of General Thunderboat Ross,

a tense top level conference is taking place.

The reports come from reliable sources gentlemen.

Bruce Banner is somewhere behind the steel curtain.

But this is disastrous, he's one of our top scientists.

He knows all our defense secrets, he must be rescued at once.

Or silenced, whatever.

Sir, I wish to volunteer to go behind the steel curtain and

do whatever must be done to protect our- >> Refine negative, Major Talbot.

I know you warned us the banner was a security risk.

But before we risk a dangerous international incident,

we must learn his exact whereabouts.

The answer they seek, an arm center far behind enemy borders.

You are a prisoner, Dr. Banner, and

will give us the benefit of your keen scientific abilities.

You're wasting your breath, Colonel.

We shall see.

You will rot in here until you change your mind.

But under the strain of imprisonment, Bruce Banner's blood pressure rises,

and rises until once again he becomes the mightiest mortal honor.

The incredible Hulk.

Rushing, crumbling the enemy bastion, scattering its terrified forces.

Run, run, everyone runs from Hulk.

But the enemy commandant goes into instant action.

That's right, send tanks, heavy artillery, everything in the arsenal, hurry.

I don't know how he got here, but if I can catch him off guard,

I'll destroy him myself with this proton gun.

The Hulk is doomed.

And nothing can save you now, death to the green skinned brute.

Boy, monster.

Come on.

You tried to kill Hulk, now it is Hulk's turn.

What terrible rampaging menace has been let loose in our land?

Desperately, the terrified commandant searches for

a hiding place as the Hulk's fury mounts.

Then suddenly, his pounding pulse rate reaches the crucial point,

which triggers the most amazing transformation in medical history.

No, not now, mustn't stop being Hulk.

No, no, mustn't change now.

What could have happened to him?

Too late, I couldn't stop myself.

But now, what chance have I, as myself?

In the distance, a powerful armored force rumbles to the scene.

Onlookers stare bewildered, as above screaming jets join the deadly

cavalcade heading for the arms center.

Where the exhausted scientist, who was the world's mightiest mortal,

sags weakly to the ground.

If only I'd been able to prevent the change,

if only I could have remained as the Hulk.

Jets, they must be searching for the Hulk.

They spotted me.

They're blasting everything that moves.

No, no, killers, killers.

Rage explodes within Bruce Banner.

Killers.

And again, the incredible chemical change within his body begins as artillery

and rockets blast around him.

But it is not Bruce Banner who rises from the shattered wall.

It is again, the rampaging Hulk.

No, the Hulk struts back.

You needn't sense, they come to kill Hulk, none can kill Hulk.

Did you say the base is doing advanced arms research?

Dad, what is it?

We've learned where your Bruce Banner is.

He's working with the enemy.

I knew he'd set us out.

No, you're wrong, Glenn, wrong.

You've got to forget him, Betty.

Right now, we have to recognize the immeasurable danger to our national security.

If Banner is in silence, stand quickly.

If General Ross only knew how close to endless silence Bruce Banner is,

with an armored tank force closing in on the incredible Hulk.

Can the mighty Green Giant withstand such a deadly concentration of fire power?

Or will this finally be the end of Bruce Banner?

Alone, the mighty Hulk faces enough fire power to destroy a thousand men.

Tanks come to kill Hulk, but Hulk's stronger.

He's approaching at point blank range, fire.

We didn't even slow him down.

10 bugs, they try to kill Hulk.

The aim, lower your sense.

With a mind staggering display of raw strength,

the Hulk rips the entire gun turret from the mighty tank.

Ha, run while Hulk destroys tank.

Guns, they try to kill Hulk with guns.

Must not get second chance, must stop them.

All tanks ride on road, easy target for Hulk.

Hulk is heading up the road.

Now, Hulk's turn to attack.

Elevate the gun, pass them.

Men all run, afraid of Hulk.

Hulk smash all tanks.

Hulk run, he tears tanks apart with bare hands.

While some tank crews panic, others are maneuvering.

The Hulk turns and sees.

All around me, no place to run.

Ready, all guns together.

The green skinned Goliath has one remaining resource, his mammoth hands.

The ear splitting concussion has the force of a near nuclear explosion.

In panic, the battered enemy troops flee,

leaving the Hulk master of all he surveys.

Run, fight over, Hulk has won.

Then the brutish brain struggles to recall.

Where is Hulk, Hulk lost, must find way home.

And moments later, the mightiest leg muscles of all time are propelling

the tormented creature in incredible distance swallowing leaps,

over hills, mountains, for hours on end.

Until finally, his smoldering rage nearly spent,

the Hulk reaches the towering Himalayas on a lonely, isolated peak.

He comes to a halt.

He settles to rest.

Hulk lost.

The green head lowers.

The violent heartbeat slows.

And finally, in the quiet shadows of slumber,

the incredible phenomenon begins again.

And it is Bruce Banner who is awakened hours later by the click of a rifle board.

Hands aloft, sleeper.

Who are you?

He speaks like an American.

Yes, but not a rich American.

He is so poor, he will welcome a bullet.

Wait, I didn't get money for you, just taken to the nearest Americans.

Oh, General Ross, it's a video microcode from one of our Asian ambassadors.

But Dr. Banner, sir, on the scope.

What the hell in blazes, who was next?

Contact Major Talbot's plane.

Get him back for new orders.

Banner, in the Himalayas?

He's being held for ransom by some bandy chief named Tanga Khan.

Here are your instructions with an authorization for ransom money.

We ought to pay the bandits to keep him.

We want him back, Major Talbot, to stand trial if he deserted.

Or to return to his work if he didn't.

I'll bring him back, sir.

Meanwhile for Dr. Banner.

Anything would be better than this endless waiting.

Finally, in a nearby mountain city,

the money will be forwarded when I'm sure you have Banner.

Oh, we have him all right.

And you impatient one, I'd better have the ransom with you.

Where's Banner?

Other greedy eyes are watching everything that transpires.

Oh, just as we thought.

The prisoner means much ransom to our enemy, Tanga Khan.

But we shall collect it, eh?

Major Talbot.

Banner.

And now thee?

It is Hakun Gantu and his accursed readers.

And our ransom, Kanga.

Stop fools.

I do not even have it yet.

Major, come on.

It's our chance.

Don't worry.

I'm not losing you again.

Where's your plane?

Down that cliff trail.

Look out!

The ledge is breaking away!

Oh, no!

Down, down, Bruce Banner plungers.

How could any man survive the fate waiting thousands of feet

below?

Flunging towards certain doom, the terrible shock exploding

within Bruce Banner produces the most spectacular physical

change ever recorded.

In an instant, he again becomes the incredible Hulk.

Above, the cliff is claiming another victim.

In the fury of the fall, Glenn Talbot blacks out.

Man falling.

Hulk will catch.

Mainly, the Hulk tries to comprehend the situation.

Man, speak.

Speak to Hulk.

Must go, must go home.

He leaps high over the nearest peak,

and again from mountain to mountain.

Even the broad Pacific is no problem

for the incredible Leviathan leaping from island to island.

Meanwhile, on the murderous precipice,

the stunned Major Talbot regains consciousness.

I'm still alive.

Luck was with me.

Believe me, Banner, I wish you two had

lived to face all the people you betrayed.

Then rescued by the Air Force,

Major Talbot returns to make surprising charges.

Bandits, ha, it was all staged for our benefit.

To explain his disappearance behind enemy lines,

we're well rid of the traitor.

Meanwhile, the Hulk has reached the missile base,

vaguely remembered by the small part of him

that is still Bruce Banner.

Banner, not here.

But Banner's home is a good place to rest.

For the first time in hours, the Hulk's heavy eyelids

close, his violent heartbeat slows,

his blood pressure returns to normal,

and once again he becomes Bruce Banner.

He's alive, he's back.

Wake up, you traitor, you're under arrest.

General Ross.

Oh, Bruce, tell them you didn't betray us.

Prove you didn't, Bruce.

Sorry, Betty, I can't.

Take him in.

But within an hour of Bruce Banner's imprisonment.

From the Pentagon? Of course, put him on.

But, sir, he--

Yes, sir, at once, sir.

Pentagon orders me to tell them

where to release Banner immediately.

What?

But-- >> Somebody up there

knows something we don't.

I'll see that he's released.

But in the meantime, Bruce Banner's fury is mounting.

I'm not a spy, I'm not a killer.

Guard, guard, someone's got to believe me.

They've got to stop pounding me.

Oh, no, the change.

Hey, what's the matter with you, Dr. Banner?

No, no, no, no, no, go away.

You need a medic, I better run for a doctor.

Nobody imprisons the Hulk.

What? The Hulk?

Oh, no, he must have released Banner.

Where is Banner?

He's been cleared, he doesn't have to run.

You, my enemy, you come with me.

Oh, no, no!

General, sir, the Hulk released Dr. Banner.

Now he's got Major Talbot.

Oh, no, didn't Glenn tell Bruce he's free?

That monster here?

Back, back, no one can't just hold.

He's got Talbot.

Stop him, fast.

And they grow only at empty air as the Hulk leaps away,

carrying the now unconscious major as if he were a limp doll.

He vanishes into the canyons of distant stone mountain.

But where is Bruce?

Probably heading in the opposite direction.

Sergeant, the sonic beam, it's our only chance.

On those mountains, General Butts.

Major Talbot is going to stand anyway if we don't.

Yes, sir.

Almost soundlessly, the beam reaches out.

But when it's ultrasonic vibration stab into the stone

heart of the mountain, even the Hulk cannot stand

against the tons of tortured rock that cascade down.

Oh, poor Glenn.

Honey, this is just one life.

The Hulk is a menace to the whole world.

Numbed by sudden impact, the Hulk's great body

has undergone the miraculous change again.

Look, Bruce, it's Bruce and Major Talbot.

Banner, you, you came back to help me?

Well, you don't have to run away, Bruce.

You're free.

Now they know the truth, they believe you.

Yes, but what about the Hulk?

Is he buried under all that?

Let's all hope so.

I pray he's gone forever, if only I could be sure.
