01x04 - Incursion of the Skrulls

[bunniefuu]

Hey, taxi.

You got a fare here.

Taxi, hey taxi. Over here.

Marine Hall, please.

Hey. Okay, sure, Mr. Fantastic.

I'd have stopped sooner,

but I didn't see who you are.

And step on it, Jack.

We're late.

Hold on to your socks.

These crystals

are the product of years

of radioactive pollution

on the ocean.

Watch their effect on one

microscopic organism

floating in the sea water.

Why are we always late?

Because Ben

never knows what to wear.

I've shown you this to warn you

of the perils of pollution.

Perils I alone can control.

Hey. A sea monster.

And I thought this

was gonna be boring.

I am from

the worid beneath the sea

that lies just

outside your window.

We have endured your

pollution for centuries

but we shall suffer it no longer.

Know that I am Namor

ruler of the kingdom of Atlantis.

Your time in the sun is over.

Punish them,

O tentacled avenger.

Flame on.

What is this?

A fiery man-child?

How intriguing.

Denizens of the depths,

cool him off.

Johnny got spritzed by whales.

Okay, fish breath,

it's clobberin' time.

How'd you like that,

you waterlogged loser?

Huh?

Not bad, buttercup.

And I thought you was

just another pretty face.

One sea monster,

fit to be tied.

- Susie.

- I'm coming, Ben.

Your shield.

Use your invisible

- Not me. Him.

- Oh, no.

Get me out of here, Susie.

This interlude is ended.

Away.

- Hey, he's flying away.

- Stop him.

Hey, who was that

wing-footed nutbar?

He said his name was Namor.

Ruler of the worid under the sea.

And he plans

to be our ruler, as well.

He does have amazing powers.

And incredible eyes.

Well, I mean for a man

who lives under the sea.

The cool sea.

Home again.

How the astringent waters of brine

restore my courage and

fill my heart with gladness.

Would that these depths

remained ever pure.

Sentinels of Atlantis

salute your ruler.

I hate Earth food.

Bring me some plankton.

You really shouldn't treat

the help like that, my lord.

It's so hard to

find good starfish.

These Earth people vex you.

Why don't we go

to the Caribbean?

Just you and I,

for a little vacation.

Hail, O munificent

and mighty Prince Namor.

- Welcome home.

- Later, Krang.

His Majesty is in no

mood for your groveling.

I am here to serve.

My troops are ready to attack

the air-breathers at your command.

And when I am the victorious

conqueror of your new realm

I shall ask only one boon.

One prize,

fairer than all the rest:

The hand of the

beautiful Lady Dorma.

You overstep your station, sir.

My heart belongs to only one.

Leave me, both of you.

I must think.

You will be mine.

No matter what.

Did you not hear me, Lady Dorma?

I said leave me.

Aura Lee, Aura Lee

All my dreams fulfilled

- Hey, let me play something.

- Hey!

Since when are you a musician?

Since you stink.

Oh, it's such a beautiful,

romantic night.

- Isn't it, sweetheart?

- Mm-hmm.

You know, if there is a race of

water-breathing humanoids in the ocean

this analysis will prove it.

I'll just drown myself,

while you're busy, okay?

Hmm?

Yeah, sure, honey.

That's, uh That's nice.

No need to struggle.

My minions have been instructed to

attend to your need, as you now see.

Welcome to my kingdom, Susan.

Now, relax and enjoy the journey.

Ah, Atlantis.

My capital city awaits.

Is it not magnificent?

A pearl of the deepest deep.

Lustrous and mysterious

awaiting my return

in majestic silence.

My throne room is yours.

You can't get away with this.

Reed will find me.

And he, and Johnny

and Ben will take me back.

I can breathe.

I filled the great dome

with air for you.

Oh, you fascinate me.

I have never known

a female like you.

- What?

- I want you to remain here

so I can get to know you better.

That is impossible.

Nothing is impossible

for the prince of Atlantis.

You need have no fear.

I mean you no harm.

Prince Namor, I am

flattered by your attention

but I am married

to Reed Richards.

How can a mere surface dweller

compare to the

power of a prince?

I'm not interested in power,

Prince Namor.

Or in you.

You must take me back.

Never.

Remain here, willingly

or my warrior legions will

make the surface dwellers pay

for the pollution they

have unleashed on this planet.

You have 24 hours to decide.

But why?

I can't understand it.

It's just not like Sue to wander off

and not tell anyone where she's going.

Reed.

Look.

What could have left

this kind of print?

Hmm.

Well, it's either

a duck-billed platypus

or a guy with

a real weird set of ankles.

Yes, that professor yesterday, Namor.

He flew around the room

with wings on his feet.

Holy mackerel.

And I'm talking real fish.

Hey, you don't suppose

If Namor's got Sue

he's got the entire

ocean to hide her in.

Select a bauble.

This is an unseemly display,

Your Highness.

Explain yourself.

This surface woman

is no suitable companion

for the ruler of the seas.

It is your responsibility

to your people

to choose a consort

more in keeping

with the dignity of

your family and office.

In short, one of your own kind.

Does the Lady Dorma have

anyone particular in mind?

I was right.

I've cracked the elemental bio-code

of the humanoid water breathers.

Now I can track them with

this new spectroscopic dowser.

We can use it to find Sue.

Hey. I already

had a bath last week.

Relax. This is a

special oxygenating fluid.

You'll be able to breathe

underwater for three hours.

I'll be breathing,

but I won't be torching.

Without my flame-on ability,

I might as well stay home.

What's this for?

An experiment that

might come in handy.

A- Ha. Excellent.

Ah, Lady Dorma.

A shell of mead?

Oh, you've been throwing eels.

I find eel throwing so

stimulating.

I did not know.

There are many things

about me you don't know.

So many things

I would like you to know.

Namor has been stricken

by that pale creature

from the airy worid.

He has become weak and soft.

Unworthy.

- Well, uh

- Krang

I want to apologize

for the way I have behaved.

I realize now that you

are the true power.

Do you wish to hear more?

Oh, yes.

Take up the sword.

Lead your army to victory

over the land dwellers.

And take me as your queen

and co-ruler.

Your people are

destroying my worid.

Your engineers punch holes

in its deeps to find oil.

Much of which they spill

while trying to haul it home

in unseaworthy vessels.

Waste and filth

tumble down my rivers

each year into my ocean.

They are contaminating my worid.

As well as their own.

Many of us are aware of that.

We're trying to stop

the contamination.

It's too little too late.

Perhaps, but maybe there's

a way we can still be friends.

We shall be more than friends.

I was speaking of

my worid and yours.

We could join together

to save the oceans.

I know there is much

you could teach us.

There is much

I could teach you.

You, alone.

Conquer the sea dome and

engage the entry hatch. We're going in.

- Reed.

- Ah. He is a fool.

In the sea, I am supreme.

- Spiral out, Ben.

- Roger, Stretch-o.

- Geronimo.

- Intruders shall perish.

Flame on.

Sweet dreams, flounder butt.

Stay with him.

I'll look for Sue.

Where's my sister, creep? Talk.

Don't let

Namor get away, hurry.

Raise the sea dome.

The dome is flooding.

We must find Sue at once.

Web-foot's

making a run for it.

The ocean's on his tail.

Namor, what happened to Reed?

Who did this to you?

Where is everyone? They're gone.

Yes, Your Highness, I know.

What? Where are they?

General Krang has taken every available

warrior to defeat the surface dwellers.

I authorized no attack.

General Krang is a great patriot.

- He has anticipated your command.

- He must be stopped.

Too late, I fear.

The hatch, Ben.

Get us through.

You sure don't know how

to treat guests, do you?

Well it's time you

learned some manners.

I shall not win you this day.

But there will be another day.

And you shall be mine.

This, I vow.

Oh, darling.

I signaled the Fantasticar

to meet us on the far parapet. Hurry.

A rebel general

is using Namor's forces

to attack our worid.

What are we going to do?

Fight, sweetheart.

We're going to fight.

My forces are

headed to New York City.

Forward!

Lives will

be lost to no purpose.

I must intercede.

- Hey.

- Come on!

Oh, Krang.

You fool.

Hear me, Krang.

Stop and think.

You must stop this

invasión at once.

I'm afraid you have no authority here.

I have taken command.

But I am lord of the seas

and you serve me.

This is treason!

I am commander of all forces

and you are a foolish prince

who has surrendered his heart

and his kingdom

to an Earth woman.

That is treason. Onward!

Hey, there's that

fish-market Frankenstein.

I got a knuckle sandwich

with your name on it, halibut head.

No, wait. Hear him out.

I am at your mercy.

I have no army.

I have no kingdom.

Krang has seen to that.

You may be a threat no longer

but your general is.

And we have to stop him.

Wait. This invasión

is not of my doing

but I am responsible for it.

I will help you stop it,

but I will not harm Krang

or any other citizen of Atlantis.

- Do we trust him?

- Yes. Agreed.

My prince is joining

the Fantastic Four.

They will face overwhelming odds.

Follow them.

Them underwater yo-yos

are playing it for keeps.

So are we.

What's your hurry?

There are too many of them.

Thanks for the update, Mr. IQ.

These creatures

breathe sea water.

What would happen if

the water evaporated

and they couldn't

achieve respiration?

Yeah.

I'm up to my shingles

in bubble-heads, here

and you're playing 20 Questions.

Dry up.

That's it! Dry up.

These characters

are washed up.

Hey!

Vile traitor.

Now, taste my wrath.

I will teach you to

betray the lord of the deep.

Look out, my lord!

- Ahh!

- Krang.

It was always you, my prince.

Always you.

The carnage continues.

Now, as Benjamin said, "Dry up. "

Back! Fight, you cowards.

Fight.

Don't let him get away.

But the water will

put out my flame.

The wristband I gave you.

It's thermite. It'll burn underwater.

Prince Namor, your

troops have been defeated.

The city is saved.

Yes. For now.

I must return

to restore order in my kingdom.

And to see that

Lady Dorma is honored.

She paid the ultimate price

for her love.

And I paid

a great price for mine.

Lady Dorma is of another species

but my molecular

resuscitator may help.

Then again,

I may be too late.

We're going home, my lady.

I dropped General Krang in the prison

swimming pool at Riker's Island.

Good place for a sea slug.

There are probably only about 50

federal crimes they can charge him with.

- Darling?

- He has a kind of

nobility, doesn't he?

He's welcome to it

as long as he stays

under the ocean.

Where he belongs.

You weren't tempted

to join him, were you?

I mean, he is charismatic

and unique and

But not as cute as you,

you sweet talking son of a g*n.

Blecch.

I had enough mush for one day.

Hey, who's up for pizza?

And if anybody

asks for anchovies

I clobber 'em.
