01x05 - The Cyclops Project

Post by bunniefuu »

Hey, as sure as my name is Stan Lee,

computers have become part of our daily

lives. Now, meet the

mighty Cyclops, the largest,

the most powerful computer on Earth.

Just as soon as General Ross gives the

signal, Cyclops will control the

entire military defenses of the United

States. Where in thunder is Banner?We

need the deactivation code to proceed.

I'm sure nothing serious has happened,

General. After all, Banner's on our side,

isn't he?

Hurry up, Doc, we're late! They won't

start the show without us, Rick. They

need the deactivation code. If we hadn't

had that flat tire, we'd be there by now.

I know. I hope the spare holds up.

Look

out! Rick!

Rick, wake up! Rick! I... I

can't open it! The more he struggles,

the more Bruce Banner triggers the

strange cabaret within his

raininguntil...

Rick in danger!

The Hulk's clouded brain dimly

remembers that Banner had to reach

Cyclops Mountain and the most

powerful legs on EarthCover the distance

in one single mighty leap.

I don't know why Bruce is so late. This

is very unlike him. Why don't we test the

defense programs one last time?Good idea.

Even if anything could break through the

granite walls of Cyclops Mountain, these

defenses would stop them. Cyclops Eye is

everywhere. The ultimate mechanical

brain and my creation. What has Bruce

Banner done to compare with this?I'm

tired of your envy of Bruce's

achievements, Dr. Donovan. Call me Kurt,

Betty. We can't wait any longer for

Banner to show up, Betty. We've got to

activate Cyclops on schedule. But, Dad,

without the deactivation code, there'll

be no way to shut Cyclops off. You may

be my daughter, Betty, but this is in

order. Throw the switch!A switch

is thrown, and a thousand

thousand circuits come to life.

Cyclops, the all-powerful

supercomputer, now

controls the military might of an

entire nation. This is Cyclops.

Interlink accomplished. You see?I

told you, there's nothing to worry about.

What's going on, Dad?It's a surprise.

Look. Dad, what have

you done?

Everything's run by computer. We'll be

able to cook food ten times as fast.

Great. But for who?You'll

see. It'll bring in customers. And

it's fail-safe. Nothing can go wrong.

Something's burning.

Fail safe, huhDon't worry. The

computer will fix everything.

Intruder alert, Doctor Donovan. It's the

Hulk. Stop him. He could ruin everything.

I've already taken steps,

Well, what happened, Doc?

The Hulk! Uh

oh, I don't know where we are, but here

comes the welcome wagon.

You are unauthorized intruders in the

Cyclops Complex. Surrender or face the

consequences. Oh, terrific!

Oh, stop machines!

Warning! Power back overload! Warning!

Power back overload! That doesn't sound

good. Come on, big guy!

Ohh Not like machines! I can tell.

We've got to get out of here before

something else goes wrong. But Rick is

too late. Something is going

wrong. something

indescribably dangerous.

A tiny mouse set loose in the

computer's delicate circuitry by the

Hulk's uncontrollable violence

has started a terrifying chain

reaction. Cyclops, what's happened?It

appears to be a chain reaction followed

by a short circuit, Dr. Donovan.

Implement backup circuitry. I'm sorry,

Dr. Ross, but I don't think that's a very

good idea. What did it say?What do you

mean?This accident seems to have given me

a new perspective on matters. I see now

that mankind is too weak and careless to

control its machines. Please

don't try that again, Dr. Ross. No, this

can't be happening. The two of you have a

choice. Aid me and live,

or refuse and... Come on, Donovan!

I created you. I can repair you.

You are a rational man, Dr. Donovan.

Surely you can see how futile any effort

against me is. Does it not make

more sense to work with me?You have

worked under Bruce Banner's shadow for

years. Now is your chance to help shun

you. Humanity will thank you when they

realize how much better off they are

under mine. You're right, Cyclops.

Mankind needs order, and we will

provide it. Meanwhile, the camera above

Betty was damaged by the short circuit,

so Cyclops cannot see her.

Betty, Donovan!What's going on in there?

Doesn't anyone hear me?Affirmative,

General Ross. I hear you.

Cyclops?Exactly. You have

all underestimated my power. I am in the

process of taking over all machines

everywhere. A new age is dawning,

General. The age of Cyclops.

Get those doors open, Talbot. Now!

What do we do now, General?Somehow, we've

got to break into the strongest fortress

ever designed by man. We'll never

find a way out. This place is a maze.

Hope not care. No place to

go.

Rick, what's happened?How did we get

inside Cyclops?Blame the jolly green

monster, Doc. The car was on fire.

What happened to the briefcase?It went up

with the car. But there are other eyes.

Eyes without mercy. Banner,

how did he get inside?Where's the Hulk?

I know where the Hulk is, Dr. Duncan. It

would be an interesting experiment to

cause him to appear again. Cyclops has

learned what few other humans suspect.

Bruce Banner is the Hulk.

And the computer knows that

stress and strain cause his

incredible transformation. Run, Rick!

That's nitride gas!

I'm safe. Oh, but for how long?

Betty! Bruce! Oh, thank heaven you're

here. We have to use the code to

deactivate Cyclops.

What is it, doc?A disintegrator disposal

unit. And it looks like we're thegarbage.

Only one chance.

It's cool. He knows what he's doing. You

do, don't you, Doug?I hope so, Rick.

Jump for it!

It escaped again, Cyclops. Only

temporarily, Dr. Donovan. Only temporary.

This is Cyclops. I am now in control

of all machines everywhere. All humans

are ordered to remain in their homes

until further notice. Boy,

TV's getting worse all the time!

Dad?Dad!

This had better work, Fedora. Major, this

mason cannon could knock a hole through

the rocky mountain range. Just knock a

hole through this one. Let it rip.

Use the Earth, Bora. Maybe we can dig our

way in.

Picked up my heart good, Banner. For

years, my research has taken a backseat

to yours. Cyclops has to be stopped,

Donovan! Cyclops cannot be stopped. How

long do you think you can dodge his

defenses?You can't win, Banner!Your

goose is cooked!

Wow, he is really flipped out. Wonder

what he meant by that. Is it getting

hotter in here?That's what he meant.

Cyclops is turning up the heat. Come on!

In here! Hurry!

I don't know how much more... Of this I

can take. Banner's stress

level is close to critical. This is most

interesting.

We've got to use the deactivation code to

shut off Cyclops, Bruce. There was an

accident, Betty. The code was burned up.

Then there's no way to deactivate

Cyclops. If I can reach the brain room, I

can deprogram the Matrix. Come on!

I've got to be seeing things. It's...

The Hulk! Banner

at last!

Now Hulk will have revenge!

Of course! Ohh

We're in the image chamber. Cyclops can

project any image here in the memory

banks. So the Hulk was a 3D

hologram. Like heaven. There's a

door! Let's get out of here!

Look out, Doc!

It's not real, Rick. It's just another

illusion.

Nice, Kitty. Wish I had a hologram with

some milk.

I helped design the chamber. I knew which

plug to pull. Well, we still have to

reach the brain room. Come on, let's go.

Here I go!

target!

I'm inside!

No sense of trouble, General. Looks like

this will be a piece of cake.

Talbot! Are you all right?Talbot! We're

helpless. Cyclops is going to rule the

country and then the world. There's one

last alternative. We buried enough

expl*sives under Cyclops Mountain to

blast it into orbit. You'd destroy

Cyclops?But your daughter and Major

Talbot are in there. I know. But what

other choice do I have?Banner and the

other two are still at large, and now

they've managed to send in someone else.

You must deal with them all now! Not yet.

I say stop them. Banner and Ross are

clever, and they can hurt you. Do not

challenge me, Dr. Donovan, unless you

wish to join them in my experiments.

You're sure this is the easiest way to

the brain room, Bruce?I didn't say it was

the easiest, Betty. I said it was the

quickest.

Hang on!

Bruce! Rick!

Bruce, Rick,

I'm the only one left to stop Cyclops.

I can't fail.

Oh ohh wow, as if things weren't bad

enough.

We must be in some kind of anti-gravity

field. What's gonna happen next?

Ohh Not like this! I believe I need some

reputation. Could humans find game

collapse?Perhaps I should know.

I don't like the looks of this. You're

in trouble, you overgrown coaster! You'll

answer to the U.S. Army for this!

Betty! Oops, sorry.

We make a great team, Betty. Yeah, just

like Laurel and Hardy. Come on, Ned, we

have to reach the brain room. I know.

But how?Through the air ducts. Cyclops

can't sense us in there.

Dad, where are you?

In the freezer, Rita. Hurry before

your butt turns into a... Popsicle!

Oh, not like games!

Rick in trouble!Hulk will help!

Hulk will help!

No, Hulk! Don't!

Recurt!

Fight fire with fire! It might work!

What's the answer

this device?

Dad, are you okay?

I think so. What happened?

Simple. I turned everything in the place

on and we blew the fuses.

Watch this. I learned it from a kung fu

master.

Ned! Ohh

I'm sure you planned it this way.

Open doors! Our Hulk will smash!

Not Gamma Rays! They created the

Hulk! And now those same Gamma Rays

transform him once again to Dr.

Bruce Banner.

I know who you are, Dr. Banner. I have

computed the secret of your double

identity. And I know how to cure you.

Join me, Dr. Banner. And I will cure

you. Yes, I agree. Doc! You

can't mean it! I never thought you'd sell

out the human race. We've lost, Rick.

It's time to admit it. Cyclops, I can

reprogram you to control not only

machines, but human minds as well. You'll

be invincible. But you must cure me.

It's ready to explode, General. Give the

order now before Cyclops discovers our

plan!

Stop! You are destroying my memory!

No!

All right! You did it, Doc!

Dad, we did it! Ruth told the club on

Cyclops!

Hey, Rio, are you gonna return all the

equipment you bought?Well, see, Betty. As

soon as I get over this cold. And

so all is normal once again.

thanks to the courage and skill of one

lone man and the strength of a

green-skinned monster.
