Return of the Incredible Hulk, The (1977)

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: Dr. David Banner.
Physician. Scientist.

Searching for a way to tap
into the hidden strengths
that all humans have.

Then an accidental overdose
of gamma radiation

interacts with his unique
body chemistry.

And now, when David Banner
grows angry or outraged,

a startling metamorphosis
occurs.

The creature
is driven by rage

and pursued
by an investigative reporter.

Mr. McGee,
don't make me angry.

You wouldn't like me
when I'm angry.

An accidental expl*si*n
took the life
of a fellow scientist

and supposedly
David Banner as well.

The reporter thinks
the creature was responsible.

MCGEE: I gave
a description to all the
law enforcement agencies.

They got a warrant for m*rder
out on him.

NARRATOR: A m*rder
which David Banner
can never prove

he or the creature
didn't commit.

So he must let the world
go on thinking
that he, too, is dead,

until he can find a way

to control the raging spirit
that dwells within him.

Where you headed?

North to Everett.

We can take you
as far up as 102.

Hop in the back.

Thanks.

I remember my eyes were white.

But how can I control it?
It isn't even safe to study.

How can we keep it
from ever happening again?

Certainly try x-ray reversal.

Radiological treatment
to try to counteract
the gamma rays.

DAVID: "The Everett
Memorial Hospital
in Everett, California

"has just begun using
the most advanced
radiology unit in the state.

"The new $1,200,000 unit
is capable of delivering

"virtually every kind
of radiation therapy

"including x-ray,
cobalt, microwave,

"and new multiplex
combinations of
radioactive impulses

"over the entire
frequency spectrum.

"It is hoped
that the unit will open

"new methods of treatment
for cancer and
various other afflictions. "

Thanks a lot.

All right,

let's try it again.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm a little spacey, I guess.
I'm on a bunch of medication.

For your legs?

Yeah, but it doesn't help.

They just don't want
to work anymore.

Thank you.

Sure.

It's really a drag.

I used to go
jogging with my dad
every morning.

No matter where we were.

London, here,
Brussels, Morocco.

Oh, Morocco.
It was funny there.

The police thought
we'd stolen something
and were trying to get away.

It sounds like
you and your dad ran
all over the world together.

Yeah, we did.

Only, neither of us
are really up to running
anymore.

That's my name.

Griffith?

David.

That's my favorite name.

Means "beloved,"

and he sure was that.

You're sure you're all right?

Yes.

Only I better
get on back home
I'll get them.

Before they send
a search party out for me.

Could you use
some food or something?

No. No, thank you.

I have to get on to Everett.
I have some business there.

Oh, okay.

Well, if you
change your mind...

You're sure you can make it
back to the house all right?

Oh, yeah.

I'm getting used to
these things.

Thanks for helping.

Okay.

MARGARET: Julie!

Julie!

Julie.

What happened?
What happened to her?

She fainted.

Where was she?

Down by her father's grave.

Up here.
Quick, this way.

Carl, give him a hand.

Miss Julie.
What happened?
Is she all right?

I thought you were
keeping an eye on her.

I was, but...

In here. This way.

Her bedroom's upstairs.
Can you make it?

Yes, I think so.

Up here to the right.

MARGARET: Here,
this is her bedroom.

Julie, Julie?

NURSE:
You better let me do that.

MARGARET:
Will she be all right?

I think so.
She just fainted again.

Call Dr. Bonifant.

Yes, Mrs. Griffith.

That's the third time
she's fainted.
I think she's getting worse.

And where were you?

Daddy,
can we go running, Daddy?

Julie,
wake up, honey.

DENNY: Julie?

Julie?

Hi, Denny.

Hi, baby. You all right?

Mmm-hmm.
Who found her?

Can I have some water?

Yeah.
Yes, honey.

Up you go.

There you go.

Thanks, Margaret.

MARGARET: That's okay, honey.
Now just lie back.

She'll get the medicine
in just a second.

Miss Griffith?

Did you reach him?

Yes, Ma'am.
Dr. Bonifant said to give her

10 more cc's of myo...

Myostatin.

Right.

But is he coming over?

He say this afternoon.

JULIE: It's okay, Margaret.
I'll be okay.

DENNY: Now you just lie back
and relax a little bit, Julie.

Now, that's a girl.
Take it easy.

NURSE: Okay,
let me find a vein.

Here we go.

That's it.

Almost done.

Good girl,

and we're done.

Thank you.

I thought Myostatin
was a clear liquid.

Who are you, Dr. Salk?

David?

Margaret,
see if you can
get him to stay.

You just take it easy
for a while. Okay, honey?

I'm sorry if
I seemed rude outside.

I was just very
concerned about Julie.

Well, you have
every reason to be.

I'm Mrs. Griffith.

Do you work for us?

No.

Could you use a job?
I'm sure we could find room
for another picker.

Mrs. Griffith,
we've already got
a full load of pickers.

We got 153 of them.

Then another one
won't matter, will it?

I'd like to find some way
to repay you, Mr...

Benton.

David Benton.

Yes,
I think I will stay around
for a while.

Good.

We got one bunkhouse
off to the side there.

You can pick up
some stuff there.

Right, thank you.

Don't thank me, pal.

MAN: Hey!

We're driving into Everett.
We'll take you
by that hospital

you were asking about.

Uh...

Look, why don't you go ahead?
I'll get over there
a little later.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm very sure.

Buenos dias, Miss Julie!

Hello, David.

How you feeling?

Much better, thank you.

You look
a little better yourself.

Well,
I was pretty grubby.

Oh. Margaret says
you're going to stay on
and pick for us.

Well, for a while, yes.

Please sit down.

Well, thank you.

Tell me.
Do you always call your mother
by her first name?

Margaret's my stepmother.
Oh.

She married Daddy
a year or so ago.

Here's my mother.

She died when I was 17.

Your dad?

Yeah.

That one's my favorite.

In your jogging clothes, huh?

(CHUCKLING)
Yeah.

He was such a neat guy.

JULIE: God.

He was a terrific businessman,
too.

He took
a little family business

and turned it
into an entire empire.

The PanAmerican Corporation.

PanAmerican?

Uh-huh.

I'm sitting
with an heiress, huh?

For what it's worth.

He looks so healthy.
How did he die?

He was k*lled.

We had a boat
in the channel down by
the edge of the swamp.

One of the butane
bottles went.
There was a big expl*si*n.

My father
was k*lled instantly.

The boat caught on fire.
It was awful.

You were there?

Oh, yeah.

I could see him
through the flames,

but I kept blacking out.

By rights,
I should have died with him.

How did you get out?

Somebody pulled me out.

I don't know who it was.

I saw his face,

but I don't remember
what he looks like.

I never found out
who that was.

Are you all right?

I... I lost somebody
in a fire, too.

Oh.

So, is that
how you hurt your legs?

Yeah.

Do they know what's wrong?

Well, the first doctor
thought it was psychological,

but they really don't work.

Then Dr. Bonifant found
there was something wrong,
neurologically.

Hey, you.

The field hands
are not supposed to be
hanging around the main house.

It's all right, Denny.

No, it's not.

Next thing you know,
we'd have all the pickers
traipsing around up here,

and then where would we be?

Come on, fellow.
Let's go.

Oh, Denny,
don't be so jealous.

DENNY: Jealous of what?

Julie.

Honey, Dr. Bonifant
came by to see you.

Hello, Julie.

Hi, Doctor.

I hear
you've been feeling
a little shaky, hmm?

Yes.

Aren't you taking care
of your girl, Denny?

I'm trying to.

This is Mr. Benton,
who helped Julie.

Hello.

Okay, girl, give us an arm,

and we'll slip you
a little more Myostatin.

Now, make a fist
so I can find the vein.

That a girl.

This will make you feel
a lot better.

Mrs. Griffith,

may I speak to you
for a second, please?

Of course.

Excuse me.

Are you accusing Dr. Bonifant
of malpractice?

I'm trying to tell you
that there's something strange
about Julie's medication.

Are you a doctor, Mr. Benton?

Let's just say I know
something about medicine,

and the drug he's giving her
is not Myostatin.

And the fact
that he's giving it to her
intravenously

scares the hell out of me.

Why?

Because depending
on whatever chemical it is,

the toxic affect on her brain
is potentially very dangerous.

You're beginning
to frighten me, Mr. Benton.

I hope so.

Couldn't you
possibly be mistaken?

Mrs. Griffith,
we are wasting time.

While I stand here
trying to dazzle you
with biochemical trivia,

your stepdaughter
could be in serious trouble.

Now, if you
don't believe me,

and I can certainly
understand why
you might not,

then find another doctor,
one that you trust,

and let him find out
what's going on.

But in the meantime,
keep Dr. Bonifant and
his nurse away from Julie.

Because before you...

Thank you, Mr. Benton.
That's an
excellent suggestion,

I'll get right to it.

Why don't you
wait at the bunkhouse,
and I'll get to you.

Thank you.

Would you
close the door, Doctor?

Is something wrong?

Yes, there is.

He knows
you're up to something.

Who, him?

How could he possibly?

He knows it's not Myostatin
that you're giving the girl,

and he picked up
on the intravenal injection,

which you
so cleverly gave her
right in front of him.

Why didn't
you say something to me?

Because I didn't
know about it either,
until just now.

I mean,
you don't expect a field hand

to have any intimate
knowledge of medicine
or poisoning techniques.

Well, who is he?

What is he?

Dangerous.

Or at least
potentially dangerous.

The sooner
we get him away from here
the better.

Well, how do you
want to handle it?

Have Rafe and Phil
run him off?

No, I think that there's
a more natural solution.

BONIFANT: Denny?

MARGARET: Mmm-hmm.

And Denny won't even suspect
that we're using him.

This Benton fellow said what?

Practically demanded
that I allow him
to work up here

at the main house.

DENNY: What?

He's quite taken
with Julie.

And what's worse,
she seems to be
infatuated by him.

Well,
why don't I just tell him
to pack up his things

and get out?

Oh, I don't know, Denny.

If he thought
it came from me...

He really frightens me.
I just don't know
what he might do.

You just let me
take care of him,
Mrs. Griffith,

and I promise you
he won't be any trouble,

and I'll guarantee you that
he won't be back here again.

Well, all right, Denny.

I think it would be best
for all concerned.

He'll be out of here
in 20 minutes.

Very well played, as usual.

You know,
I wonder what would happen
if Denny found out

what you were doing to Julie.

He never will.

I think I'll have
Phil and Rafe down there

just to make sure that
Denny doesn't muck it up.

You are nothing
if not thorough.

Hi, Phil.

Here you go, Benton.

What's this?

That's your severance pay.
You've been severed.

Mrs. Griffith know about this?

Look,
I'm the foreman around here
and I run things.

Now you shove off.

All right, as soon as
I talk to Mrs. Griffith.

Uh, look, turkey.
I don't want to get mad.

Believe me, neither do I.

All right, fine.
Then you just hit the road.

As soon as I speak
with Mrs. Griffith.

I said get out!

DAVID: Look,
please don't do that, okay?

Better do
like the man says, pal.

RAFE: Old Denny
don't fool around.

Shut up, Rafe.
I can handle this.

Listen,
I've got to talk to her
about Julie.

Uh-oh.
He's coming on
with your girl, Denny.

No, I'm not.
Will you listen to me?

I don't have to listen to you,
and I can take care of Julie
just fine

without any help from you.

Look,
I wish you wouldn't do this.

I'll do whatever the hell
I want to do.
I told you to get out!

I'm trying to tell you
that Julie's in danger.

From weirdos like you.

Don't! Don't, I'm warning you!

(GRUNTING)

Well, you sure told him.

Yeah.

That'll teach him
to mess around with
your girlfriend, old buddy.

(HULK GROWLING)

What the...

PHIL: What was that?

I don't know.

DENNY: What in the name of...

PHIL: Where did he come from?

Get him!

RAFE: Are you kidding?

Rafe, don't just
stand there.

Get him!

(RAFE AND PHIL YELLING)

DENNY: Hang on. Hang on.

Take it easy. Take it easy.

My God!

No! No!

Hey, let go! No!

(DENNY SCREAMING)

I got him, Denny.

Let go! Let me go!

Don't. Look out!

(PHIL SCREAMING)

Man, I don't know
what you are
or where you came from,

but I know
where you're going!

DENNY: Help me.

Help me, somebody.
Help me.

PHIL: Come on, he's inside.
Hurry up.

You ain't gonna believe it.

(MICHAEL HUMMING)

Come on, get on there.

Get on there, you miserable
little cackle bag.

Come on now. Come on.

(SIGHING WITH SATISFACTION)

(CHUCKLING)

There.

For a while,

I didn't know
which one of us
was gonna win.

But I finally got you,
didn't I, you dumb little
cluck-cluck-cluck-cluck?

(SINGING)
Gonna dance all night

Gonna dance all day

Bet my money

On a little fat hen

Somebody bet on the bay

Gonna drink all night

Gonna drink all day

I'll bet my money

On a bottle of booze

Somebody bet on the bay

Gonna drink all night

Gonna drink all day

I'll bet my money

On a bottle of booze

Somebody bet on the bay

You're gonna cook up
right quick,

aren't you
my little chicky-chick
chick-chick-chick?

c*ck-a-doodle-doo!

c*ck-a-doodle-doo!

(HUMMING)

Pink elephants is one thing,

but this is something new.

Well, would you like to
sit down?

Please, sit down.

Are you real,

or did you come out
of this bottle?

You're real,

or this stuff is really
beginning to get to me.

Never seen you around
these here parts,

and I've lived here
a long time.

You live around here?

Can you talk?

(GROWLING)

It doesn't hurt to ask.

You sure are
a big son of a g*n.

You know, this firelight
is making you look
sort of greenish.

(GROWLING)

(STUTTERING)
Well, maybe it is this bottle.

Are you hungry?

Yeah.

This bird is beginning to look
pretty good!

It smells just fine.

Here,

try some home cooking.

(BONES CRUNCHING)

Bones and all.

He ate the whole thing,
bones and all.

Maybe...

Maybe you should
have a little something

to wash it down, huh?

No, don't eat the bottle!

Don't eat it. It's glass.
Don't eat it.

Drink it. Like this.

There you go.
Ain't that good?

(MICHAEL SCREAMING)

(HULK EXCLAIMING)

Oh, doggone!

(MAN COUGHING)

Who's out there?

Who?

Who's that out there now?

How did you get out here?

I don't know.

Well, come on over
to the fire. It's cold!

Here.

You sit down here
before you get chilled.

Looks like
you might have had a run in
with that big fellow, too.

Big fellow?

You mean
there was someone here
before me?

Some thing is more like it.

Sort of greenish.

Didn't you see it?

No.

Did he damage anything?

No,
just scared the tar out of me.

Turned my dinner
from regular to extra crispy.

You'd better come inside.

I'll see if I can find
some duds for you.

You look a mess.

Sit down. Sit down.

You live here alone,
do you?

Yep. It's the only way
to be, believe me.

(HUMMING)

Here, try these on.

That medal you're wearing.
It's the Medal of Valor,
isn't it?

Yeah.

Yours?

Yeah.

It is now.

You were saying out there
something about
a big fellow.

What did you mean by that?

He was a creature.

Did you talk to him?

I talked at him.

(CAR APPROACHING)

Sheriff.

Maybe you had better
wait in here.

Evening, Michael.

Hi.

You seen anything strange
out here tonight?

Strange?
What do you mean?

SHERIFF: Well,
a big greenish thing.

Like a man,
only bigger, they say.

It attacked Denny Kayle
and a couple of other guys
over at Griffith's.

Dropped the whole roof
down on Denny.

They got him up there
at Everett Memorial.

I'd think the whole thing
was crazy myself

if there wasn't
a wanted poster
out on this thing.

No, I ain't seen it.

Now, Michael,
it couldn't have
come out any other way.

Are you sure you
haven't seen anything
unusual out here?

No.

Okay, Michael.

Thanks for nothing.

Michael.

You didn't tell them
you saw that creature.

You didn't say
that you saw me, either.

Why not?

People's business
is their business.

Got nothing to do with me.

Uh-huh.

You don't like
to get involved.

Getting involved
with people only leads
to trouble and pain.

I had me enough pain,
thanks.

Yeah, I know how you feel,

but you helped me.

Listen, mister.

A dog was hurt and lying
in the middle of the road,

and I pulled it over
to the side, and
that's all I've done for you.

Why don't you go on
and get out of here?

I don't know when I'll be able
to pay you for these clothes.

No charge.

Just go on
and get out of here.

All right.

Which way to Everett?

Back on the highway.

Turn left, couple of miles.

Uh, Michael,

you've probably lived
around here a long time.

There was a boat

in a channel near here.
It exploded
just a little while ago.

You know anything about that?

Nope.

I don't know nothing.

Okay, well,

thanks again.

WOMAN: (ON P.A.)
Mrs. O'Brien, telephone,
please. Mrs. O'Brien.

Yes?

Oh, hello. I'm Jack McGee
from The National Register.

I'm looking for a Dennis
or a Denny Kayle, K-A-Y-L-E.

Oh, yes. He's in
the Wagner Pavilion,
room 202.

Right back this way.

Thank you.

Please check with
the nurse on duty.

Oh, I always do.

WOMAN: (ON P.A.)
Dr. Kaufman, telephone,
please. Dr. Kaufman.

Excuse me.

How is he doing?

Well, I think he's
going to be all right,

but he's under sedation
right now,

and Dr. Bonifant
really doesn't want him
to have any visitors.

So I'm going to
have to ask you to leave.

Yes, all right.

Sir...

Yes, can you tell me
where the new multiplex
radiology unit is?

Three West.

Thanks.

WOMAN: (ON P.A.)
Dr. Anderson to Maternity,
please. Dr. Anderson.

Dr. Hensel to Surgery, please.
Dr. Hensel.

MAN: All right, Mrs. Siegel,
we're beginning
the x-ray scan now.

Just lie still.

That's it.

Good.

Very good.

Yeah, that's it.

Hi. How is it going?

Fine.

Who are you?

David Benchley.
I'm with Rowe Scientific.

Just came here to check up
on the unit. How's it working?

Smooth as silk.

You guys
can really be proud of it.

Oh, we are. We really are.

Okay, Mrs. Siegel,
that's today's treatment.

The nurse will show you
back to your room.

Um, what about
the multiplex radiation mode?
Have you tried it yet?

No. Only the x-ray
and radium therapy modes,

but we've run a lot of tests,
and it really looks good.

Oh, good. Good.

And you run it
round the clock, huh?

No, until midnight.
Then we give it a rest
till the next day.

We're really glad the hospital
invested in this unit.

It should help
a lot of people get well.

I certainly hope so.
Thank you.

WOMAN: (ON P.A.)
Ms. Erin, telephone,
please. Ms. Erin.

Mrs. Fernandez, Front Desk,
please. Mrs. Fernandez.

Um, excuse me, Nurse,
is Dr. Bonifant in there?

No. I haven't seen him
this morning yet.

Thank you.

WOMAN: (ON P.A.)
Dr. Pickard, Pediatrics,
please. Dr. Pickard.

Mrs. O'Brien, telephone,
please. Mrs. O'Brien.

Dr. McCullen, Surgery, please.
Dr. McCullen.

Where's Denny's room?

Second floor,
but come to my office first.
I want to show you something.

Good morning, Dr. Bonifant.

I want to show you
the x-rays on Julie.

I got the doctored ones back.

How do they look?

Perfect.

No one would be able to tell
the original from that.

I mean, it's impossible to
tell that it's been altered.

If an expert
were to examine it,

he would confirm
my diagnosis
of her condition.

And that her condition
was terminal?

Absolutely.

How much longer
will it take?

Well, lets see, that was
the seventh dose
I administered yesterday.

And since she's already
begun passing out,

I would say, one,
maybe two more ought to do it.

So soon?

I thought you couldn't wait
to get rid of her.

I just don't want to make
any more mistakes.

Margaret, darling,

it was your men who bungled
the expl*si*n on the boat,

leaving us with
a survivor to contend with.

I should think you'd be
more appreciative

of the way I turned
her psychosomatic belief
that she couldn't walk

into a terminal
neurological disorder.

Are you sure
they can't trace the poison?

It will appear
as part of her symptoms.

Her death will
appear natural,

and then the control
of your dear departed
family's fortunes

will be all in your hands.

I'm sorry.

I really do appreciate you,
John.

More than you know.

You can be warm
and wonderful, can't you,

when you're
maneuvering someone?

Like your husband
or Denny yesterday.

Let us stick to business,
shall we? I think it would
be healthier all around.

What about
that farm hand, Benton?

I don't know. He's gone.

Aren't you going to get rid
of that original x-ray?

I'll pick it up this afternoon
and dispose of it.

I think we should
check on Denny,

and then we can go out
to the house and finish up
Julie's treatment.

Unless, of course,
you're having second thoughts
or remorse.

You're a dangerous woman,
Margaret.

See you this afternoon,
Mrs. Bartlett.

Morning, Doctor.
Did that man find you?

What man?

He was just looking for you
by your office.

Oh, there he is.

Hey!

He's got Julie's x-rays.

Stop!

Stop!

I think he's headed
toward the house.

Come on. We'll take my car.

Julie.

Who is it?

Julie, it's David.

David?

David, they told me you left,

that you were
disturbed or something.

Julie, listen to me.

I've got to try
and get you out of here.
You're in terrible danger.

What?

No, this is my room,
my house.

No, Julie. Julie.
Julie, listen.

Try to understand.

Your stepmother
and Dr. Bonifant
are trying to k*ll you.

No.

Listen! Julie.

Julie, the drugs
that they are giving you

are not to help you.
They're trying to poison you.

No.

Julie, look. I have the x-rays
from Dr. Bonifant's office.

They have his fingerprints
on them for evidence.

He's altered them
to make it look as if
your legs were damaged.

But they are. I can't walk.

Julie, you can.
Don't you understand?
They're trying to k*ll you.

No! I don't believe you.

Julie.

No, I don't believe you.

MARGARET: Hurry. Go faster.

Julie, I've got to
get you out of here.

No. You let me alone.

Julie.

Help!

Call Rafe and Phil.

Denny! No, they told me
you were crazy!

Julie, stop it! We've got
to get out of here.

Let go! Denny!

Let me go!

NURSE: Julie!
Denny!

Let go of me!

(JULIE MOANING)

Julie!

Julie! What's wrong?

Help! Help me!

Help me!

He's crazy! Help me, please!

Now, Julie. Julie you've
got to believe me.

If they give you
one more injection,
you're going to die!

NURSE: Julie!

Got to hide these...

(EXCLAIMING)

Julie!

NURSE: Julie!

Julie.

What's wrong?

I don't know.
Huh?

Get the door open.

Stay away from me.

Come on, help me.

PHIL: Come on. Hit it again.

RAFE: What's
against the door?
Who's in there?

PHIL: What if it's
that creature who was
in the bunkhouse

that attacked Denny and us?

(GROWLING)

Look out, look out.

RAFE: Come on. We've got to
get the door open
and get in there.

PHIL: Push it.

Up there.

That's not Benton.

What in the name of God...

PHIL: Come on, push it.
Come on, push!

That must be the creature
that attacked Denny.

The thing
the Sheriff is looking for.

It's got Julie.

We've got to go after it.

No, wait, wait.

Rafe, can you see it?

It looks like
he's heading off
through the orchard,

towards the swamp.

Is Benton up there?

There was no one up here
but that hulk.

Listen, get them down here.
We've got to go after it.

You saw what it did to Denny.

I certainly did, and it'll
probably do the same thing
to Julie, won't it?

It's the perfect cover-up
for disposing of her.

Now, I'll send Rafe and Phil
into the swamp after it,
just to be sure.

MARGARET: Julie will not
get out of that swamp alive.

Why are you stopping?

What are you going to do?

Who are you?

Who are you?

What happened to you?

Can't you speak?

What are you?

What are you
gonna do to me?

Where are we?

At the edge of the swamp.

How did we get here?

Don't you remember?

No.

You carried me here.

Only,

it wasn't you. It was...

I know.

The x-rays.

The file with the x-rays.
What happened to it?

I think you stuffed it
under my mattress

before you...

Yes.

Yes, I hid it.

What's that? My medicine?

It's your poison.

It's got Dr. Bonifant's
fingerprints all over it.

I can't believe that.

I can't believe any of this.

What are you?

For one thing, I'm a doctor.

I know what I'm talking about,

and I heard them
planning to k*ll you.
You've got to trust me.

Trust you?

I'm scared to death of you.

I mean, one minute you're
a nice, gentle man,

but I saw...

I saw what
happens to you.
What you turn into.

My God, I...

Listen.

Listen.

Please.

I know you're afraid of me,

but the creature
never hurt you.

Did he?

No.

And he won't.

Believe me, he won't.

But why does it happen?

I'll explain that
to you later.

The important thing now
is to get you
to the authorities

so you can
give them that evidence

and tell them
those x-rays are hidden.

Now, did you see anyone
following us when we left?

I don't know.

Well, they have to be
after us by now.

I've got to
get you out of here.

Attagirl.

It was easier
for you before.

Yeah, I'm sure it was.

All right,
we'll try this way.

MARGARET: You all know
how high the stakes are.

My late husband's
PanAmerican Corporation

is a multimillion dollar
organization,

and you all stand to gain
a great deal of money.

We have to act quickly.

Wallace, I want you

to take several
of the other hands

and turn this place
upside down
looking for Benton.

Don't tell them anything
but that I want to see him.

No one else on the estate
knows anything. I'd like
to keep it that way.

Rafe, I want you and Phil
to take the dogs and
head out into the swamp.

Track down Julie and
whatever that thing was
that carried her off,

and keep in touch by radio.
I want to make sure

that they do not get out
of that swamp alive.

All right?

Get moving.

DAVID: There it is.
There's Michael.

Michael.

Michael.

Look at you.
What do you want now?

Michael, we need your help.
We have to get
to the authorities.

You just pick her up
and get moving, will you?

Michael.

Don't I know you?

No.

I know I've seen
your face before.

JULIE: The fire

on the boat. It was you.

You were there.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

I just don't want to
get mixed up with you.

David, remember I told you
somebody saved me,

pulled me out of the flames?
It was him.

Then you probably know

that the fire
wasn't an accident,
don't you, Michael?

What?

No. I didn't see nothing.

What do you mean,
it wasn't an accident?

The expl*si*n that k*lled
your father was planned

by Dr. Bonifant
and your stepmother,

and you were supposed
to be k*lled, too.

But when you walked
out of it alive,

they started poisoning you,

and they're coming along
to finish the job,
and you can bet on it.

Now, Michael, you saw it.
You saw the fire. Tell her.

I didn't see nothing.

Just like you told the Sheriff

you didn't see nothing
the night that I was here?

You leave me alone.

Please tell me.
Is it the truth?

I don't want to get involved
with you or anybody else.

Michael, you are involved.

No, I'm not.
Yes, you are.

Michael,
what are you afraid of?

Those guys who rigged
the expl*si*n? Because
they're 10 minutes behind us,

and when they find out
that you saw us,
that you spoke with us,

they're gonna cut you
into little pieces.

I didn't see nothing.

DAVID: All right. All right.

Then maybe you could tell us

how we could get to a sheriff
or a ranger station
or something.

Closest way to town
is back the way you came.

Michael, we can't
go back that way!

The nearest ranger station
is seven miles through
the swamp that way.

All right.

Will you show us
how to get there?

No.

Michael,

you saved her life once.

Are you going to
let her die now?

Michael.

Michael.

That Medal of Valor
you wear around your neck,

it was given
for someone's commitment

to bravery.

Get them!
Go get them!

I think they're getting
that scent, all right.

Go get them, babe.

Go get them.

Seven miles.

I know.

No, Mrs. Maloney.

We still haven't seen
any more of that thing
that attacked Denny, and I...

Well, then I think
that you should call
the parents yourself

and tell them to pick up
their kids at the bus stop,

just to be on the safe side.

Oh, yeah. My boys
are keeping a sharp lookout.

So don't you worry.

You're welcome. Goodbye.

Locals getting
a little concerned about
that hulk, Sheriff?

I guess so.
Some of them, anyway.

It's hard to believe
that something like that's
running around.

You better believe it.
You're talking
to an eyewitness.

You have seen this thing
yourself around here?

No. Over by Sacramento.

I'm Jack McGee
of the National Register.

Oh, yeah. My wife
picks up that paper

in the grocery store
sometimes.

"All the news
that's fit to print."

And some that's not, right?

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

In fact,

I think that if
I hadn't seen what
that thing had done to Denny,

I just might believe
that you guys

had run out of U.F.O. Stories

and made up this
creature thing yourselves.

Sheriff, I am willing to admit
that my paper has

a borderline reputation
for mild sensationalism.

Mmm.

But are you aware
that it was The Register

that cracked the case
of the district attorney
assassination

in New Orleans last year,
and a dozen other cases
of the same sort?

Now, that's true.

It's getting better.

As for the creature,

like I said, I saw it.

And I know for a fact
that he's directly responsible

for the deaths of two people,
Doctors Elaina Marks
and David Banner.

Well, what do you want
from me?

Nothing.

Not a thing.

Except,

maybe to sort of
hang out with you

and follow up on any calls
from people who claim
they spotted it.

Well, all right. You're on.
Grab yourself some coffee.

Thank you.

SHERIFF: I wonder
where that thing is.

No, David.

(PANTING)

I wish I could walk
and make it easier for you.

Well, maybe when
that poison wears off,

you will be able to walk.

No, I've tried.

Well, you saw me
at my father's grave.

Yeah.

I also saw
your x-rays, too, and
your legs are normal.

But that's impossible.
I can't walk.
My legs don't work.

And you won't as long as
you believe you won't.

David. David, I can't walk...
MICHAEL: Hey!

(SHUSHING)

Hey!
Get back.

Okay, you can get up now.
It's just me.

How'd you find us?

Why, you left a trail
like a bulldozer.

I seen you five minutes back.

You're gonna have to do
a whole lot better than that.

Would you please try
and take better care of these?

Thanks. Yes, I will.

Are we heading
in the right direction?

No. You keep going
straight ahead,

you're gonna wind up
in one of them bogs.

You've got to
skirt around to the west.

Will you show us the way,
Michael?

Yeah, I guess so,

but you better get hustling.

I could hear them coming up
toward my place.

Hear them?

Yeah.

They got the dogs out.

Nobody here.

Look at the way
they're straining.

Hello, Base. This is Rafe.
Do you read?

Rafe, where are you?

RAFE: At the edge
of the swamp. They must
have gone in there.

All right.
You know what has to be done.

Yes, ma'am.

And, listen, they might
have taken that old man,
Michael, in there, too.

You know what has to be done.

It'll be done, all right.

We'll keep you posted.

Let's get going.

Here, let me help.

What's your plan? To get to
the ranger station
and call the Sheriff?

No.

To have you
call the Sheriff.

I have to be careful
about the law or anybody that
might recognize me.

You're in
some kind of trouble?

No, I'm not, but...

The creature is?

Yeah.

Creature?

Do you mean to say that
you got something to do
with that thing I saw?

It's him.

Oh, yeah?

You're crazy.

It's the truth.
I saw it happen.

DAVID: Come on.
We shouldn't be stopping.

How does it happen?

Well, it's a metamorphosis.

A change that takes place
whenever I get angry.

I got an overdose
of gamma radiation,

and that's why I was

on my way to Everett Hospital.

I thought perhaps if I could
sneak into the radiology lab,

I could reverse the process.

But you got sidetracked.

That's right.

So that's how your clothes
got ripped up.

You just
stretched out of them.

Oh, boy.

I sure wish I was you.

There are some people
I'd like to be mad at.

Michael, you don't
wish you were me.

It's like having
a demon inside of you.

Come on,
we've got to keep going.

We better make tracks
for a stream.

Those dogs
are after us.

(DOGS WHINING)

Take a sniff.

Good, boy. Good.

Let's keep going.

MICHAEL: This way.
The channel's down here.

Here,

let me go first.

I can't. I can't!

No!

MICHAEL: Oh, my God!

DAVID: Julie!

Are you all right?

Yeah.
Julie?

Are you sure?
I think so.

Julie, it would help a lot
if you could walk.
Yeah, really.

All right, why don't you try?

The water could
take your weight.

I told you I can't.

Please, missy, please.

We've got to get
into the water.

Look, Julie, I think
the whole thing
is psychological.

Now, why would I
not want to walk?

I don't know. You loved
your dad a lot.
Maybe you feel guilty

because he died
and you didn't.

Oh, come on. That has nothing
to do with it.

I mean, why
would it be my legs, anyway?

Guilt! People have lost
things they love
because of guilt.

Painters have lost
their eyesight.
It does happen.

Well, not to me. You think
I want to be a cr*pple?

You think I don't want
to walk or run like I did
with my father?

Now you two stop it.
We haven't got time for this.

We've got to get into
the water. We've got to
break this scent,

or those dogs
will be all over us.

Let's go now.

You're all right.

I can't do it. I can't do it.

Yes.

The water will
make you buoyant.
All right?

All right.

Hold it.

Look.

Can we get past it?
Will it attack?

Depends on how
hungry it is,

or if it thinks
we're invading
its territory.

Now take it easy.

I don't know.

Maybe we can try
another way.

We can't go back.

All right.
Take it easy.

A little bit further
and we'll get out.

We'll get out.

We'll get out.

I got something on my leg.

It's probably a leech.

MICHAEL: Hey! Look out!

(JULIE SCREAMING)

(BEAR ROARING)

(EXCLAIMING)

(BEAR ROARING)

David!

David, no!

(ROARING)

(HULK GROWLING)

(DOGS BARKING)

Come on. This way.

It's all right.

That way.

Michael,
I can hear the dogs.

I know. I know.

Rafe, where are you now?

MARGARET: Rafe, come in.

We're about four miles
into the swamp.

They may be heading
for the ranger station
on the other side.

I don't want them
getting out of
that swamp alive,

do you understand?

I'll pay double the money
I agreed to pay you.

I promise you,
we'll stop them.

Rafe, take this one
right here.

Here. Nice. Take this dog.

Let's go across
and check the other bank.

We'll pick up the trail again.

Missy, you wait here.

Oh.

All right. You come over now.

(RATTLING)

Michael.

Michael,
are you all right?

Yeah.

That rattler got me.

Help him.

Well, help him, can't you?
You said you were a doctor.

All right. Come on.
Out, out. Go on.

A tourniquet.

I need a tourniquet.

Give me that.

How do I do it?

Put it above the bite.

Wrap it up
as tight as you can.

Where'd you get this anyway?

My son won it,

in Vietnam.

He was a Green Beret.

He saved the lives
of 14 people,

three of them children.

Where is he now?

He died there.

Thanks to me.

Thanks to you?

I put him there.

He wouldn't have been there

if I hadn't filled his head
with all sorts of
glory-boy talk.

And David was talking
to me about carrying
around some guilt.

You shouldn't blame yourself.
A lot of good men
were k*lled there.

What next?

Got to get the poison out.
Here, take this.
Cut across the bite.

Your son was old enough
to make up his own mind,
wasn't he?

Hold on, now. Hold on.

Years of me bragging,

telling w*r stories,

glorifying it all.

He didn't have to
listen to it,

and I'll bet he didn't
have to save those 14 people
either, but he did.

Hand me your bottle.

(SPITTING)

There. Yuck.

I don't know which is worse,
the whiskey or the poison.

They're both about the same,
I guess.

Almighty God.

Look at him.

I guess we've all got
our crosses to carry.

The bear.

It's all right,
you took care of it.

What happened?
Are you all right?

It's a rattler.

The doctor was out.
How did I do?

Pretty good.
How does it feel?

It doesn't, but then
I'm not going anywhere.

(DOGS BARKING)

Now you two better get.

No, we're not leaving
without you.

Now, Julie,
I think you can walk.

I think you can
if you want to,
if you need to.

I can't.

Well, I can't carry
both of you.
Now you've got to try!

Well, look, why can't you just
get mad at something

and turn yourself
back into that thing?
Then you could...

It doesn't work that way.
I can't control it.

Well, I can't control
my legs, either!

MICHAEL: Stop it!

Now, you two, listen to me.

David, you pick her up
and get out of here.

No.

Now you do as I tell you.

Not very far to go.

There's one more
channel to cross,

then there's a clearing ahead
and a stand of trees,

and behind them
is a ranger station.

They'll k*ll you, you know?

Not if they don't find me.

The dogs will find you.

Maybe not.

Now, you give me
a hand down to
the edge of the water.

(DOGS BARKING)

Come on, son. Let's go now.

The dogs are
really hot now.

RAFE: We ought to be able
to stop them before they
get to the outside channel.

All right, keep after them.
I'll send Wallace
around the other direction.

Wallace, they're getting near
the west side of the swamp.

MARGARET: Are you ready
to head them off?

You got it, Mrs. Griffith.
Be like sh**ting fish
in a barrel.

That's it. Where'd they go?
Where'd they go?

(DOGS HOWLING)

Look at that!

Look at the size
of that thing!

Don't worry. A few b*ll*ts
will cut him down to size.

Come on. Come on,
they're not in there, stupid.
Get back on the trail.

Come on.

JULIE: This is
the stand of trees
Michael was talking about.

Yeah.

The rangers gotta be
on the other side.

Julie! Julie!

It's quicksand.
Don't move, don't move.

The bottom.
Under the water.
It's quicksand.

Don't force it. Stay flat
like you're swimming,
like you're swimming.

Stay as flat as you can.

Reach. Reach for the bank.

Pull yourself up.

David!

(DAVID GRUNTING)

Julie, the branch.
The branch,
get it down for me.

Julie! Julie!

Pull it down to me, Julie.

I can't reach it!

Julie, try, stand.
Stand up!
I can't!

I can't walk, David!

I'm not asking you to walk.
I'm asking you
to stand, Julie.

I can't!

Try! For God's sake,
try, Julie.

Julie! Try!

Julie.

Oh, God. David,
I can't do it!

Julie!

David, I can't!

Julie!

David, no!

Julie!

David, don't let that happen!

No, not now!
Don't, you'll make it worse!

Julie, for God's sake!

David!

MARGARET:
Where are you now, Wallace?

Coming in from the west.

If they come out of the swamp,
I'll get them.

DAVID: I think you can walk.
I think you can, if you
want to, if you need to.

(HULK GROWLING)

I got it!

I got it!

Forward. Phil!

RAFE: There it is!
Come on, give me the leash.

(BOTH EXCLAIMING)

The bottom's quicksand.

Hold on to the dogs.
Hold on to the dogs,
let them pull us out.

We ain't gonna
get across.

Wallace will have
to get them.

MARGARET: Wallace?
Wallace, Rafe and Phil
can't get them.

Don't worry, Mrs. Griffith.

WALLACE: They ain't gonna
get past me.

Okay, I got them.
They're just coming out
of the swamp.

(g*n FIRING)

WALLACE: I've got to
go around again.

WALLACE: I'll get them
this time.

I've got them now.

(g*n FIRING)

WALLACE: Oh, my God,
he knocked out the tail rotor.

Can't hold her!
Going down in the water.
I'm going down!

(HELICOPTER CRASHING)

(PHONE RINGING)

Dobson.

What? Be right there.

What is it?

Don't know. Ranger station
by the swamp heard some shots
and a helicopter.

You coming?

Yeah.

Wait, wait, wait. Um.

You've got to stay here.
They mustn't see you.

Let me have the poison
in your pocket.

Now you stay here,
over here.

Hide.

Hide in the trees.

Go on.

No.

Go on, over there.

Go on.

Go on.

You've got to.
You can't come with me.

Please.

WOMAN: (ON P.A.)
Dr. Kaufman, telephone,
please. Dr. Kaufman.

Did anybody come along?

No, missy.
He's still inside.

What happened?
Did you try
the radiation treatment?

Yeah.

Did it work?

Will it stop you from
turning into that creature?

God only knows. How's Denny?

He's doing fine. We all are,

except you.

JULIE: You sure
you won't stay?

And have that creature
tear up your house one night
when I have a dream

and become angry?

No, I have to keep moving.

Till I can be certain
that it's never
going to happen again.

But David...

Julie.

The creature is wanted
for m*rder,

one that I cannot prove
that he or I didn't commit,

and you would be
harboring a criminal.

I don't care.

I do.

Well,

there'll always be
a room for you,
right next to Michael's.

We're all family, huh?

Looks like you
got involved after all.

It's pretty hard not to.

I know.

Oh, no, Julie,
I can't accept that.

Yes, David.
You don't know how long
you'll be on the road.

Yeah.

Miss Griffith?

It's that reporter again.

I know.
I can't let him see me.
He thinks that I'm dead.

I've got to go now. Goodbye.

I'd...

Excuse me, I'd like to get
a full story on everything
that happened to you.

I think maybe the readers
would be interested.

Have you heard
from your stepmother
or your doctor

since they were taken
into custody?

No. No, I haven't.

I hear that
her three henchmen
are all in jail.

Yes, I think so.

You know, the thing
that really interests me

is that creature
that carried you
into the swamp.

What happened to that?

It went down
in some quicksand.

You're saying it's gone?

Yes, I guess so.

Miss Griffith...

Mister,

these past few days
have been quite a strain
on Miss Julie.

I'm sort of helping
with her affairs now.

Maybe you and me
could have a little chat, huh?
