Gamma base lab. Betty Ross speaking.

Bruce? Are you OK?

I'm fine. Somehow I ended up in South Dakota.

The Black Hills. Betty, I...

1 just needed to hear your voice.

Bruce! Stay strong.

Doc Samson and I are so close to a cure for you.

The nutrient bath is almost ready.

Just don't give up. Hang on.

And remember that I love you.

I love you, too, Betty.

I'm sorry. I gotta get moving.

I'll call you when I can.

Who else is on this line?

We got him, Thunderbolt.

Black Hills, South Dakota.

Hulkbusters, move it!

Father! How low will you sink?

You let SHIELD tap my phone line! My own father!

I'm sorry, but what am I supposed to do? You left me no choice.

Invading my privacy should not be a choice!

Banner's whereabouts are of interest to our country.

How do you think it makes me look?

My own daughter, sandbagging me

by keeping that kind of information secret!

Betty, I have to stop him.

The Hulk ruins lives everywhere.

He ruined ours and we'll never be the same because of him.

Betty Ross, under the aegis of a declared federal emergency,

you are hereby ordered to accompany me to Detroit.

What happened here?

Why is downtown Detroit being evacuated?

Ma'am, all of your questions will be answered by Dr Blake.

You! You're a star! Sign my forehead.

Get on the stage quickly.

Miss Ross, I'm Dr Donald Blake. Thank you for coming.

Being drafted isn't my idea of an invitation.

Sorry about the cloak-and-dagger summons.

It's critical. The city's in quarantine.

What for? It looks like gamma-radiation poisoning which isn't contagious.

It's not radiation. It's a gamma virus and it's spreading fast.

A gamma virus? What are the symptoms?

Green skin rashes, hallucinations, decreased respiration, coma.

And most puzzling,

a residue of sodium chloride on the patient's skin, salt.

Doctor, I...

This is a little bit out of my league here.

I'm sorry, but...

You're one of the few experts who...

You need the expert, Dr Bruce Banner.

Banner? I thought he perished in that explosion.

No, he's just been out of circulation.

He's somewhere in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

I hope we can locate him in time.

If you can't, then... Then find the Hulk.

- The Hulk? Miss Ross, I... - Trust me, Doctor.

You bring the Hulk here and Bruce Banner won't be far behind.

That's quite an order

but I believe I know someone who can help.

I take my staff and strike through mortal bounds calling forth...

Thor, God of Thunder!

Mighty Uru Hammer,

open a portal through the very fabric of space!

Stun lasers only!

Keep it in tickle mode, boys.

Back off, men. You can't fire on a national monument!

You're up, LaRoquette! Throw the gamma-reinforced rage cage!

It's holding. I've finally got that miserable beast!

Only the gods could release him from that contraption.

By thunder!

Fear not, friend.

I mean thee no harm. 'Tis Bruce Banner I seek.

Hulk hate puny Banner!

Hulk no like long hair!

Perhaps in days yet to come...

..we shall pit our strengths in battle.

But this hour, thy untamed will must yield to the God of Thunder.

Cease thy savagery, Behemoth.

Eat green!

Hammer man Hulk enemy!

Hulk pound enemy!

Let's get out of here! Move!

Hold, emerald one! Our battle hath breached the tunnel.

Cease we must, else these mortals shall perish!

Mighty Uru Hammer, I summon thee!

Time doth grow short.

Without my enchanted hammer, I...

Where hammer man?

Odin, my father, thy son hath failed his mission.

Are you alone, friend?

Hulk alone.

I see you're green with the sickness like me.

Come, sit down. Share my fire.

It's been so long since I had a friend.

I really miss having someone to talk to.

You know, nobody ought to be alone.

Man need Hulk? Hulk stay.

Where am I? Gamma-radiation poisoning.

Wake up!

Come on. I'm getting you to a hospital.

A pathetic inventory.

If this merchant ever reopens, I will never patronise here!

Abomination! Be careful, you clumsy cretin!

It now becomes painfully clear

why I should have left the Leader's mind control implant

rooted in his gnarled, scaly head.

I cannot believe it! Dr Banner is here? In Detroit?

Glory be! I am saved! Abomination!

Abomination, come help!

He's gone.

You can dress him up but you can't give him brains.

Start an IV drip and push two CCs of adrenaline. Stat!

Bruce!

Betty!

What's going on? What are you doing here?

Some gamma-mutated virus has gone out of control.

It's an epidemic and we can't stop it!

- Bruce, we're running out of time! - Avirus? But...

Code blue!

300 and clear!

Heart rhythm steady but weak.

Betty, it's now or never to test that synthetic vaccine.

One CC. Dr Banner.

Good. I'm Dr Blake. I wasn't sure if you'd show.

You expected me?

Betty said you'd come if the Hulk was here.

But who...?

Not important. Let's just get you into a suit.

These are contagious test cultures which manifest symptoms immediately.

So far our serum only manages

to temporarily slow their ravaging effects.

We'll lose this battle unless we find the source and develop an antibody.

Or there's one other possible option.

You can take a blood sample from me.

My prolonged exposure has definitely had no effect.

I'm... My gamma-mutated blood has made me immune to the virus.

"Bring the Hulk here and Bruce Banner won't be far behind."

- Betty meant... - Incredible, isn't it?

To say the least. Well, let's take that sample.

We have to filter out the gamma mutations

to stop it transferring to the patients.

- No! Stop! - I hate hospitals!

Hold on!

Oh, no!

Those contagious cultures that spilled on her...

Such massive exposure has sped up her infection.

She doesn't have much time. I need your blood sample now.

Bruce!

Oh, Betty. All because of me and my gamma research,

everything is in danger. And now you.

What have I done?

Bruce, it's not your fault.

Yes, itis! It is.

I even brought that homeless man in here.

I'm the only one to blame.

So tired.

Betty, I can't lose you this way.

You're my lifeline.

And you're mine.

I want Banner!

No!

I ain't a braindead hunk of muscle no more, Banner,

and I'm ready for a green-on-green rematch...

Abomination!

This is not the time for your petty grudges against the Hulk.

Our good doctor is here to help us.

Gargoyle, is that you?

Itis.

Though, as you can see,

I'm less and less the disfigured freak you once reviled,

but the price of my normalcy is sickness.

In fact, I'm dying.

So are hundreds of others. Now I'm needed in that hospital.

You are more urgently needed here, in this place,

where I unleashed the virus.

You what?

Alright, pal, you want a bout with the Hulk, just keep pushing me.

Please understand, comrade.

The tragedy was unintentional.

After the Leader banished me,

I came to these quiet, germ-free caverns

to ensure the purity of my experiment's gamma rays.

But an unforeseen development occurred.

Tiny arthropods, who feed on salt, had found new sustenance.

Gamma waste.

These insects carried the virus.

The salt must have contributed to its mutation.

Yes, yes. They quickly infected the workers in the salt mine,

who then carried it up to the city, where it spread.

l just...

All I wanted was to be normal.

Well, you caused this outbreak. Now you're gonna help me solve it.

Understood?

We are yours to command,

as long as saving my life is in the bargain.

- Bruce? - He's... He's not here, Betty.

The serum from Bruce, does it work?

Well, we didn't...

We're real close.

You get some rest.

I'm running out of time.

I won't survive much longer.

Just hang tough, Gargoyle.

We're close. I just have to isolate the mutagenics,

but I'm not sure how to maintain platelet integrity.

Perhaps by using slow, minimal exposure

of controlled gamma emissions.

Like a slow boil. That could work!

Because overexposure would destroy these particular mutagenics and...

And create a process that could possibly cure you?

Yes! Maybe.

But the ambient factors in this serum can never be duplicated.

It mutates too quickly. I'd have to try it now or never.

- This is my chance. - Is there time to do both?

No, there isn't. Let's forget about me. Let's move forward.

A very noble deed, Dr Banner.

You are an honourable man.

No. I just want to save the woman I love.

Respiratory at 20 per cent.

She's in the final stages of the disease.

Another two CCs of the test serum.

We have to stall this long enough for us to locate Banner.

He's her only hope.

If I only knew where to...

Salt?

Where has that scaly creature been that it would pick up so much salt?

It has been so very long since I've gazed upon this face,

which my own senseless radiation experiments took from me.

And now I must give it away again to save my miserable life.

Normal?

Give me my strength back instead of this iron zoot suit.

That's all I want.

The Hulk and I got a long overdue slug fest to attend to.

I am ready.

That's tough, cos so am I!

No! Be careful with the serum!

Yes!

Enough with this armour crutch!

You... You shouldn't have done that.

Come on, Banner weight. Bring on the Hulk!

This salt tracked in by that beast is pure, unrefined sodium.

- Where would that come from? - My guess would be the salt mines.

They run on for miles right under Detroit.

The secret lies there.

Mighty Uru Hammer, lead us to the object of my quest.

Smash!

Thou dost sorely try my patience.

Hulk, we must depart this...

Hulk smash and bash!

Hulk, search well thy heart for the one called Betty!

Betty?

'Tis she who hath dire need of thy life force.

- Need Hulk? - Rough luck, greenie.

Behold!

A raging torrent from the river above!

Surely it will undermine and destroy the city!

Stand with me, giant!

Harness thy wrath to impede this calamity!

Hammer man, take Hulk to Betty.

It would be Thor's sincere privilege, O bestial wanderer.

Betty? Hulk here now.

I'm right here, Betty.

Dr Banner, the serum will be ready soon but not in time to save her.

No! No!

Betty!

Dr Banner?

There should be enough serum left in here to save those most ill.

Gargoyle, how? Why? I didn't expect this.

Even a pathetic troll of a man is capable of a noble deed.

Thank you.

Do not expect such mercy again the next time we meet, Dr Banner.

Though in another time, another place,

we might have been respected colleagues.

Today, you and I, we are fated enemies.

It would be a mistake for you to think otherwise.

- Bruce? - It's over now, Betty. For everyone.

Military choppers. Fully armed.

- Betty, I... - For now you have no choice.

But, Bruce, very soon things will be different.

I will make sure of that because...

.I don't know how many more times I can say goodbye to you.

Brother, take my hand.
