01x13 - De-mole-ition

[bunniefuu]

- BEN: Are these fresh?
- Freshest in the

city.

I'll take them. Heads up, Stretch.

Intriguing.

The null field expands with the
introduction of the artificial dark matter.

HERBIE, recalculate the algorithm.

Oh, man, this rots.

My new car is gonna be here any minute.
Can I go home?

No. This is called "quality time."

Sometimes people spend it together,
when they're not working.

Reed, you agreed to take a break.

BEN: Incoming.

What? I am taking a break.
Only 49% of my attention is on the lab.

The other 51% is enjoying my morning
here with you.

I'll be right with you, HERBIE.

HERBIE, it's me, Johnny.
Is my car there yet?

No? What about now?

Your car will be there
when we get back, Johnny.

Nothing's gonna happen to it.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah, nothing will happen to the car
until Johnny gets ahold of it,

then it's toast.

Hey!

[LAUGHING]

Oh, I'm sorry. You mentioned toast,
I thought you might want some egg.

[EXCLAIMS]

You like to be corny, huh?
Well, here you go.

Oh, it's on now, brickhead. Flame on!

[POPPING]

[GROANS]

Listen to me, all of you.
This is family time, understand?

I just want to have a nice, normal day.
No burning, no working and no fighting.

Huh?

Time to go on a diet, big guy.

[THUDDING]

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[GROWLING]

You forgot to say, "No giant monsters."

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[ROARS]

So much for quality time.

[EXCLAIMS]

Susan!

Flame on!

[GROWLING]

[GASPING]

Hang on, Suzy. It's clobbering...

Time?

Suzy, you ruined my moment.

Sorry, Ben. It was getting a little tight.

This is what I call "quality time."

Bad monster. Bad.

[GRUNTS]

Uh-oh.

[GROWLING]

My mouth was open.

[SIRENS APPROACHING]

Do you think he got bored with us?

No, the creature seems to have picked up
a new scent.

Wow. You'd think Ben's scent
would have been too distracting.

You're asking for it, Matchstick.

I can't imagine this is a coincidence,

but the creature seems to be heading
directly toward the Baxter Building.

Of course it is.

Oh, no, my car is in there. Flame on!

You know you're just going to
wreck it anyway.

Hey, wait up.

[SHOUTING AND CONFUSION]

[ROARING]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, big guy.
I got all my stuff in there.

Yeah, you wouldn't want "Giganto" here
to smash all your toy cars.

[GRUNTING]

Models. They're model cars, Ben.

My toys are in storage.

Hold it off. I'll be right back.

Let me guess,
you're getting something from your lab.

What do you expect?
I have a really great lab.

Step away from the building.
No monsters allowed.

- Not including Ben.
- Stomp me, will you?

[ROARS]

[EXCLAIMS]

Too big.

There. That stasis field
should hold it for a little while.

I knew this would come in handy.

[CAMERAS CLICKING]

[PEOPLE CHEERING]

How come we always
get the giant monsters?

I could talk to Doom,
maybe he could send us a giant robot.

Sure, that'd be a nice change.

- My car, it's not here yet.
- Yes, well, that is terrible.

But to the matter at hand, it would appear

this incredible creature was deliberately
attacking the Baxter Building.

We need to find out why.

Or we could just move on and accept it.

Let me guess, the hole.

The creature tunneled up
from somewhere,

and that's where we're going.

REED: See, you're excited about it, too!

SUZY: Dark and dirty. Wonderful. Johnny?

- BEN: I knew you were good for something.
- But I brought my plasma flashlight.

JOHNNY: Phone call for Mr. N. Erd.

It's all right, buddy.
We can use your flashlight later.

REED: We've descended 6.7 miles so far.
Is that a cavern ahead?

Wow!

[MURMURING]

This is incredible.
These boulders are pure diamond.

How come the water falls up?

Liquid helium, almost certainly.

See the frost? It must be freezing.

Look out.

[BOTH GASP]

Flame on!

REED: Johnny, flame off.

Huh?

Johnny.

[SCREAMING]

Cold.

Hey.

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

[SNORTING]

That's gross. Sleepy...

Subterranea is Mole Man's world.

No trespassing!

[GROANING]

[SNIFFING]

Behold, the destruction
of the surface world.

I'm glad you survived
the monster's attack, Fantastic Fools.

Now you can bear witness
to my rise to power.

What have you done, Mole Man?

You should be more concerned
with what I'm about to do.

Each of the monster's eggs
is about to hatch.

My Moloids have seen it happen.

The little beasts will imprint
on the first thing they see,

but I lured their mother out.
Now they will see me,

and I will have an army of the monsters
at my command.

That's horrible.

Yeah, no one should have a mama
as ugly as you.

Talk about childhood trauma.

[STAMMERING] You're dumb.

[EXCLAIMS]

Your pitiful insults
are a waste of your last breaths.

For when these creatures hatch,
they shall be hungry.

[GRUNTING]

Let me go.

Your invisibility
is useless against my Moloids.

They do not rely on vision.

They will continue to hold you.

I can't light up. It's too cold.

Can't one of you bust loose?

This is like swimming in taffy. Can't move.

And I can't exert enough pressure
to break through the Moloid.

I can't stretch.

Well, aren't you three
just the sorriest excuses for superheroes?

Susan? How... Where...
What are the Moloids holding?

The Moloids must be totally blind
from living in the dark.

I slipped out and left them a force field
shaped like myself to imprison.

- Not bad, Suzy. Now bust us out of here.
- Not yet.

As long as the Mole Man thinks
we are prisoners, he'll ignore us.

And we need to know
how he's controlling Giganto.

We're not really calling
that thing "Giganto," are we?

I am freezing here,

and I'm starving.

[GASPING]

I wonder how big an omelet
you could make with one of those eggs.

Johnny Storm, what a thing to say.

What? Looks like Mole Man
already tried it, see?

A missing egg.

Of course.
Mole Man said he lured Giganto out.

He must have used an egg.

And if the creature attacked
the Baxter Building...

He must have hidden the egg there.

No wonder it attacked us.

Poor Mama was just
trying to get its baby back.

We can't let Mole Man
take control of the babies.

We have to get Giganto back here.

[EXCLAIMS]

How is that better?

Susan, you have to find the egg
and lure Giganto back here.

- And scratch my nose.
- I'll do you one better.

Thank you, that'll do nicely.
You go, we'll keep Mole Man distracted.

Sue, wait, wait. I should go. I'm faster.

Johnny, your car will be fine. Let it go.

Oh, man.

Yeah, you just missed her, squishy.
She's right there. In front of you.

No, behind you. Oh, so close.

Just to the left, getting warmer.
Oh, warmer.

Oh, nope, no, no, colder.

Okay, if I were a 300-pound monster egg,
where would I...

The garage.

HERBIE, how could you not notice that?

HERBIE: Jonathan ga ve me
explicit instructions

to give all deliveries open access
to the garage.

Of course he did.

[EXCLAIMING]

It's hatching. Reed, it's hatching.

REED: Don't let it imprint on you.
JOHNNY: Sue, it's me. Is m y car there?

[EXCLAIMS]

[ROARING]

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[ROARING]

[GRUNTING]

Okay. I guess they've been introduced.

Now I just have to get them
back down into Subterranea

before they destroy New York
or crush me.

[ROARING]

Let's take a family trip.

You fungus-brained imbeciles!

How could you let her slip away? Find her!

Mole Man, she's the least
of your problems right now.

[SCREAMS]

Okay, Mole chump.
Let's have us a little chat.

No. Stop them.

This should warm you up just enough.

[GRUNTING]

So much better.

But wait. Everyone! Everyone, just stop.

I have to make a call.

[SIRENS WAILING]

[HORN BLARING]

[EXCLAIMING]

JOHNNY: Sue, the car came in, didn't it?
Tell me. It's awesome, right?

Yeah, Johnny, it's the best.
I'm in it right now.

What? No. That's mine.
You can't drive it. It's not...

[GASPS]

Are you being careful with it?

Johnny, you're breaking up.
I didn't catch that last bit. Gotta go.

This isn't happening.

[GRUNTING]

[EXCLAIMING]

You're too late.
Soon, I will be unstoppable.

Come to papa, my pretties.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

It's okay. We're just gonna find
your brothers and sisters.

The eggs are hatching.

As soon as the babies imprint on me,
they will be mine to command.

Keep them busy.
Just a few more moments.

Any more bright ideas?

Well, we could try
and have them imprint on you.

It's not ideal, but at least you wouldn't
have them destroy the surface world.

- Well, I might have them destroy Johnny.
- JOHNNY: I heard that.

It's working.

Soon the surface world
will pay for mocking me.

Soon, I will...

No. No. My car!

My beautiful car!

Good work, Susan.

You got a little monster
on you there, Suze.

It doesn't matter.
Nothing can stop me now.

[ROARING]

Hurry it up, you stupid monsters.
Hatch, already.

Hey, no problem. Here you go.
No need to eat anyone.

We know you just want your baby back.

[SUZY EXCLAIMING]

Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever...

[ROARING]

Seen? So much for being grateful.

To be fair, we are intruding.

Noble sentiments, fools, but too late.

For behold, the others are hatching,
and it is me they will see.

Look upon me.
Gaze on your new leader and obey.

No.

No. Stop this interference.
My babies are looking and they must see.

[GRUNTING]

I demand you make me visible at once.
At once, do you hear?

Whatever you say.

[EXCLAIMS]

[ROARS]

Invisible again. Please.
I've changed my mind.

[YAWNING]

Well, I'd say our work here is done.
Who's up for some lunch?

Now, now.

I think they'd revoke our superhero license
if we let the Mole Man be eaten.

Oh, all right. Come on, Torchie.

Yo, big guy. Come here.

Hey, look. Bright light. It's pretty!

Fools. Moloids, find me
an unhatched egg. We are...

Not this time.

[GRUNTING]

So what now? We can't just leave


Giganto just wanted her babies safe.
Now they are. I don't think she'd...

[ROARING]

Problem solved.

[EXCLAIMS]

You're coming with us, Mole Man.

Please, don't take me to the surface world.
The light, it burns my eyes.

Don't worry.

You're gonna be paying a long visit
to a nice little jail for supervillains

called the Vault,
and the sun don't shine there.

Amazing to think that such a creature
could live undisturbed

for what must have been millennia.

- Must you prattle on?
- Hey, only we get to say stuff like that.

Sorry I wrecked your car, little brother.

[SIGHS]

It's okay.
I just wanted to be the one to wreck it.

You can wreck the next one.

- Promise?
- You bet.
