02x12 - The Sentry Sinister

[bunniefuu]

[Reed] Ah, but, dear, be reasonable.

What if some intergalactic adversary

attacks while we're

Even the Fantastic Four need a vacation.

You are not putting it off again

by absent-mindedly losing our luggage.

Can't someone else

save the worid this month?

You mean,

just let the Avengers or Thor

get irradiated and pulverized

instead of us?

Ever hear the phrase

"overly responsible", Reed Richards?

[laughs] Guess the missus is serious

about a vacation this year, Stretcho.

Dead serious. Did you think Ben

and Johnny might need a break too?

All right, I'll call the airlines, dear.

By the way, where are we going?

Ah, wow, I'm so shocked you agreed

that my mind's a blank. Any ideas, Ben?

Yeah, what say I just let

the fickle finger of fate decide, huh?

Ah, yes, I'll hold. [laughs]

Just make sure I get three seats across

and plenty of honey-roasted peanuts.

Hey, grab ya sarong, Suse.

We're heading for a sunny South Pacific

piece of paradise called

Tivu Island.

There, Foley. The spire described

in the ancient Incan tablets.

According to the legends,

this stone hand will reveal

the ancient alien civilization

that once inhabited Tivu Island.

I don't believe it, Doctor Neville.

And here I was, thinking you be daft.

[Neville laughs] Greater minds

than yours have called me mad,

but here is proof of my sanity.

These mechanisms were old

when the human race was beginning.

I don't get it, Doctor. What's the

meaning of all this? What was that?

[both] No!

[robot] No outsiders are allowed here.

- So my supreme masters command.

- [both cry out]

[Ben] Sheesh. I was hoping for a plush

wide-body with complimentary slippers.

[Reed] Sorry, Ben.

Who'd have thought all the flights

to the South Pacific would be booked?

Gee, I don't know, Professor.

Maybe someone who waited

till the last minute. Whoa!

Sure you won't come, Johnny? A change

of scenery might be what you need to

Forget about Crystal?

Ha, not a chance.

I never wanna forget her, Sis. This

Torch is gonna carry that flame forever.

[laughs] Thanks, anyway.

I'll just hang out here.

You guys have a great time, and don't

worry. I'll keep an eye on the universe.

See you later.

I only knew him such a short time,

but it was so magical.

Fate's been kinder to you, Medusa.

You and Black Bolt were reunited.

Yes, but for how long?

Every day my beloved

flies through the city

seeking a possible weak spot

in the impenetrable Negative Barrier.

Every day our air supply diminishes,

and it gets harder to breathe.

When the oxygen's depleted,

all Inhumans will die.

No! I must finally shatter the barrier

and free everyone yet!

[grunts of exertion]

[sighs of resignation]

[Crystal] No more, Karnak, no more!

You'll break your hand.

Don't t*rture yourself, Karnak.

We've tried all we could.

The accursed Barrier can repel anything,

even my kick.

Cousins! See how clever Maximus is.

I have made a metal kite.

[manic laughter]

See how it flies without wings,

without a motor.

Maximus is like a poor lost child.

I feel so sorry for him, Medusa.

- But his madness has doomed us all.

- [growling]

Would you like me to make a kite

for you, Gorgon, or some other clever

It's dissolving the Barrier

you should be working on.

The Barrier, and the Barrier only!

Save your breath, Gorgon.

He cannot, or will not, understand.

Gorgon is displeased. But come, see

what I have done to our cousin Triton.

- [Karnak] You maniac!

- [Gorgon] If you've harmed him, I'll

[thud]

[Crystal] Maximus, no!

You madman! He'll die without water!

No, Karnak. See?

I have freed Triton from the confines

of his watery prison.

- [Karnak] What?

- [gasps] I can breathe!

[all gasp]

[Maximus] Don't you see?

The circulators I have created

will pump life-giving saline chemicals

through his water-breathing body!

Yes, yes! Now I can live

like all of you, breathing the air!

What precious little is left of it.

Black Bolt!

Look at what I have done for Triton,

dear brother.

Black Bolt! I am no longer sl*ve

to the watery depths!

[laughs] It was easy for me to do,

brother.

Now show your regal gratitude by

restoring me to the throne again, hmm?

Sorry, I didn't quite hear you.

[manic giggling]

Quiet, Maximus.

You know Black Bolt's merest whisper

would destroy this palace.

Oh, yes, I know that.

And I know other things,

like your useless attempts

to break the Barrier.

All have failed, and all your poor

little subjects will soon die,

because only I know

how to break free.

[heavy breathing] No!

Why should all the Inhumans perish

because of your madness?

- You will give up your secret.

- My loving brother, save me!

- Save your rightful king.

- [sighs] Forgive me, my King.

In my blind rage I did forget

that Maximus is truly mad.

[gasps] They all want to harm me.

All of them! But you'll always protect

poor Maximus,

won't you, my brother?

We'll never leave Attilan again,

but I'm not afraid,

because we're all together.

[crackling]

Black Bolt summons all Inhumans

to the Great Square.

While there is still air to breathe.

These who now dare intrude

will be destroyed by the Vibro Screen.

[buzzing]

[Ben] So, kiddies, what do you think

of the little hunk of heaven

Ol' Blue Eyes picked out

just for you, heh?

- Ben, it's beautiful.

- [beeping]

Hm, I don't like the looks

of this strange energy flux.

You really know how to rain on a picnic,

Professor.

[gasps] What the?

We've hit a vibration field.

The plane's shaking to pieces!

And here I am

without trip-cancellation insurance.

Susan, use your invisible

force field as a buffer!

- Reed, I'm on vacation!

- But I

It's a joke, dear.

[Ben] It's working like a charm, Susie,

except now I won't be able

to set this baby down on her tail.

Reed! I don't suppose

that's one of the tourist attractions.

[Reed] Sue, remove your force field

or you'll hit it!

- Ben, you're going to

- Relax, Stretcho.

I ain't gonna nail

that 15-foot-high speed bump.

[Reed] Throw me in front of the plane!

- Have you flipped your big brain?

- Just do it!

[Reed groans]

[crash]

[Ben] Emergency exit, Suse!

[robot] I am intergalactic Kree

Sentry 4-5-9.

I cannot be deterred from my purpose.

I am Sentry.

[both cry out]

For millennia, my unchanging orders

have been to protect this base

from invaders like you.

I'm not trying to harm you.

I'm trying to protect my friends!

This alien worid has spawned strange

new beings since my last awakening.

Give it a rest, Stretcho.

It's robot clobberin' time!

I am no mere robot.

And I ain't no mere Thing!

Often imitated, never duplicated,

and always cheaper by the pound!

[electrical crackling]

Oh, my aunt Petunia!

Yow! Oof! Ouch!

[splutters, coughs]

[Sue] Ben, are you all right?

I was till I stumbled into the Indiana

Jones ride at Tivu Disneyland!

Hmph. Looks like these two holidayers

want their shekels back.

Fascinating. They've been imprisoned

in a shimmering mass of colloidal atoms.

Wait!

Sorry, Stretcho, I can only take

so many big words.

Oomph!

Run! A big broth of a robot

is guarding this cursed place!

Easy, pal. I knocked that Sentry clown

into the next century.

All part of the Fantastic Four's

new robot-bashin' service.

[gasps, murmurs]

Why has Black Bolt

gathered us together, Medusa?

Do you think he finally found a way

to destroy the Barrier?

[whooshing]

[murmuring]

[electrical crackling]

He points to the shelters

deep beneath the city.

We must go there at once.

[Crystal] But why, Medusa?

What does Black Bolt plan to do?

We shall all know very soon, my sister.

Now, to the shelters!

The moment of truth has finally come.

[electrical crackling, sound of flying]

Please don't do it. I'm afraid!

I know you think me insane because

I created this Barrier that traps us,

but I'm not mad! [sobs]

My plan was sanity itself:

when you failed to free your people,

they would have returned

my rightful crown to me.

But I never thought you would speak.

- Don't do it! Please! Please!

- [electrical crackling]

[roars]

[Maximus] You set them free.

Now they'll love you forever.

I'll never be king again!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no! [sobs]

[thudding footsteps]

[breathes deeply]

Breathe deep the air, my cousins.

King Black Bolt has given

the Inhumans back their lives,

and their freedom.

But at such a cost:

beautiful Attilan gone.

We have sacrificed a city

to gain a worid.

Oh, Triton. Then maybe some day

I might see my Johnny again.

But there is so much

to be done here first.

[electrical crackling]

[Medusa] Black Bolt. Really?

Good ol' Sis sure picked

a primo time for a vacation.

I've never seen this burg so dead.

I knew it was too boring to last.

Looks like some yahoo's breaking

and entering at our place.

A little action should do me some good.

Come on out where I can see you,

or you'd better be fireproof.

J- Johnny?

Crystal? Wow, I must

be seeing things! You

It seems like a dream to me too,

Johnny, but it's very real.

Crystal, I have missed you so m

- But how?

- Black Bolt freed us.

[sighs] But our home was destroyed.

I must return soon for the rebuilding.

But Black Bolt allowed me

to see you first.

Oh, Crystal, there's so much

I want to say to you,

so many things I want you to know

I already do, my Johnny Storm.

- [barking]

- Yuck! What's he doing here?

[laughs] How do you think

I got here, silly?

Just promise me you won't zap her

back home for a while, okay?

Phew, we gotta do something

about that breath.

the intergalactic Kree

the Seeker told me about

obviously left a robot Sentry to guard

this space port until their return.

So my arrival obviously

activated his energy sensors

[yawns] Some vacation, huh, Suse?

Now that Stretcho's found

another egghead to yammer with,

peace and quiet's

taken the first raft out of here.

[sighs] Yes, and unfortunately,

we weren't on it.

There!

With the vibration device deactivated,

you and your guide are now free to go.

[laughs] And not a minute too soon

for Mr. Foley.

Oh, I hope to return some day

with a more scientific team.

Ah, perhaps, Dr. Richards,

you would like

- Why, I'd

- Sorry, Doc, he's otherwise engaged.

Pick us up next week

and I'll get you an appointment.

He's all yours, Suse. Forgive me

if I don't oil your backs.

[grunts]

Ha. You ain't lost your touch,

Benjy boy.

- Oof!

- [heavy footsteps]

[Sentry] I bear you no malice.

Just think of the technological marvels

that ancient space port might hold.

[sighs] I guess a bikini

doesn't stand a chance with you.

- [Reed] Huh?

- [splash]

When is Ben gonna learn

to skip boulders more quietly?

Oh, no! Oh, no, Ben!

Though you have shattered

my instrumentation,

I have increased my strength

until I alone am master.

Even force fields shatter

before my power.

[Sue] He's too strong!

[Sentry] I bear you no malice.

I do only as I was programmed to do.

[splutters]

[Reed] Call Johnny from the Pogo Plane.

Tell him I need the ionic destabilizer.

If he uses the one-man m*ssile,

he might just get here in time.

- But, Reed, what about you?

- Vacation's over!

[Sentry growls]

[splutters]

Johnny, come in. We're on Tivu Island,

in terrible danger!

Johnny, please, are you there? Johnny!

[giggles] So is this what you humans

call an international dinner, Johnny?

Oh, yeah, to the max!

Polish kielbasa on a French roll with

Russian dressing and German sauerkraut,

and smothered in ketchup

from the good ol' US of A.

- [growls]

- [whimpers] Aaah

No, don't tell me.

You want a Polish dog too? [laughs]

- [barks]

- Hey, what gives?

- [Ben splutters]

- I couldn't raise Johnny.

Reed, look out!

I am a Sentry. I only obey orders.

It does not matter

whether I can see my victims.

My force will create a tidal wave

which will wash the island

clean of all intruders.

- My force field

- We'll never withstand the impact!

[groans] What a time to come to!

What the?

- [Johnny] Flame on!

- I'll try and hold the wave back.

I've got a little moat to dig.

- [Sue] Johnny, hurry!

- [Crystal] My wind power is fading.

Let me guess. You're the overachiever

who cooked up that tidal wave.

- [Sentry] You are an intruder.

- Ooph!

No! I'll save you, Johnny.

Whoa, thanks for the help, Crys.

You sure recycled that tin can.

- [Johnny] No!

- [Crystal] Johnny!

- [Crystal groans]

- [Johnny] I can't

Love conquers all, junior,

with a little help from your friends.

[Reed] Careful. Your powers

are causing seismic tremors

that could rupture the volcanic plate

beneath Tivu.

It's easier to start than stop!

[Ben] Oh, Jeez.

Too late, lady, it's lava time!

There's no way off the island

before it blows!

Yes, there is. Lockjaw!

[Ben] Oof! Hey, watch it,

you meat hound!

For the first time in all history,

a Sentry has failed.

Though I have not heard

from my Kree masters for untold ages,

I remain at my post,

as a Sentry must,

until the end.

This is Sentry 4-5-9

making his final report.

I've made up the spare room, Crystal.

How long before you?

Just long enough to be with Johnny

while he shows me the wonders of his

- Your worid.

- [Johnny] Come on, Crys.

We've got a little lost time

to make up for.

Oh, Black Bolt asked me

to give you this message:

"You were right.

Inhumans and humans need not,

cannot, live apart forever. "

It was meant that all races should

co-exist peacefully on this planet. "

Johnny and I are proof of that.

- [Sue] Aw, darling, isn't it romantic?

- Uh-huh..

Ah, you know, I was wondering how Black

Bolt will lead the Inhumans into

Sometimes a lady

just has to take charge. [laughs]

[Ben] Yeah, this is so charming,

'cept I gotta walk this mutant mutt.

Hang on, drool-bag.

Next stop, Central Park.

Something tells me that's going to be

no ordinary walk in the park.

Lockjaw!

Whoa! Stop! Hold it! Heel! Sit!

Reed! How do you stop this crazy thing?
