01x02 - Prisoner of the Monster

[bunniefuu]

Thanks for getting me out of the lab for

a while, Betty. And don't forget our

picnic tomorrow. Sounds great.

The Incredible Hulk. It seems

Bruce Banner can never escape

him. We're back.

Hi, Betty. Hi, Dad. More homework on the

Hulk?You and Banner ought to be just as

worried about this monster. We've got big

things happening on this base soon, or

have you forgotten?If you mean the

testing of the sonar crystallizer,

General, we're ready. Take a look at this

pentagon tape.

There's never been anything like it.

It's amazing! It can pulverize rock to

create new farmland. It could have

crystallized the lava on Mount St. Helens

and saved many lives.

See why we have to steal the crystallizer?

It's the greatest weapon in the world!

Just like I told you, remember?But

Boss, I don't remember any

crystallizer. That's enough,

Cosmos! Get

ready! I've planned a big surprise for

General Ross!

Keep looking for that old trunk. My

great-great-grandmother's recipe for

chicken wings could make me the Chicken

Wing King! Hey, here's a trunk!

Careful! The recipes!

Now this!The map!

I haven't seen that in years! That map

tells quite a strange story.

Okay, baby. Now you've got the molecular

structure of the Hulk. So far, I haven't

figured out how to stop him. Maybe you

can. The information has been recorded in

my memory bank. Please transmit further

instructions.

Rick, hey, Doc, take a look at this.

Go on, Rio, tell them the story. This map

has been in my family for years. They say

that the village of the Lost Tribe of the

Serenidads is about here.

I don't understand. You will.

Many, many years ago, the

legend says that in this hidden valley,

the king's son was trapped inside of a

forbidden enchanted volcano.

After that, whenever the young man became

angry, they said he would change into a

wild beast. Ohh Much like

the Incredible Hulk.

But they say the tribe's magician k*lled

him with a secret potion.

The raging beast was no more, and the

king's son went on to become a great

ruler of this kingdom. And that is why

the potion is supposed to be enshrined in

a temple and is still there to this very

day. Interesting story,

huh, Doc?Oh, yes. There's a

training flight leaving for the Yucatan

at 7 a.m. I already got you a seat.

See you, Doc. Happy landings.

Coffee, tea, or milk?Rick!

and a stone. There's no way I was gonna

miss this, Doc. I hope you know what

you're in for. Meanwhile, back in Cosmo's

limo, my crystallizer will turn the walls

surrounding the gold and silver into

powder. Then we just walk in and take the

goodies. Stop laughing and

double check our phony ID passes. Got

'em right here, Spymaster. This time,

not even the army can stop me.

Even deep in the Yucatan jungle, Bruce

Banner manages to find a guide who will

follow the ancient map and lead them into

the heart of the forbidden land.

Then it's a deal. Let's go, Mateo.

Vacation?But I need him now! Dad, I

told you he'd be gone for a few days. The

tests for the sonar crystallizer have

been moved up. Banner just couldn't be

counted on.

Mud!

Quicksand, jump!

Here, Mateo, I'll help ya!

I'm hung up on the seat! Doc, I can't get

loose! Jump,

Mateo, jump! I'm coming, Rick!

Mateo, jump! Get out of that jeep!

But let me go! They'll

go under! Help!

Help

No help! You stop here!

No! No Look what you're

doing to me! No!

It is the ready one! Look! He hasreturned!

Nothing can hurt

us! Distracted by the warrior's attack,

the Hulk's clouded brain forgets about

the slowly sinking jeep.

Hold on! Got it!

My jeep! My jeep! Well, at least we're

out of the quicksand.

These passes don't look quite right,

sirs. I'm sure

you're mistaken. Why, I'm General--

Attention!Look at yourself,

soldier. I won't have sloppiness in my

ranks. You're missing a button.

I was just about to mention it myself,

Major. Thank you.

Wow! This is right out of a science

fiction flick. At

least this part of the legend is true.

There, up ahead. The temple Rio told us

about.

Okay, Rick, you're gonna help us get in.

Sure glad I came.

Is it true?Is the long search

really over?Is Bruce Banner at

last about to grasp his cure?

Ohh I

guess it's time for plan B.

I've got the chance. Here goes.

Yeah!

Miraculously, the transformation

stops. Bruce Banner is himself

once more. The potion

worked. The Hulk is gone

forever. But now, without the

awesome power of the green Goliath,

what will happen to the doomed Bruce

Banner?The

Hulk is gone. I'm myself again. But as

Bruce Banner, I'm helpless.

Doc! Doc, you okay?

Doc, look at yourself! No more

Hulk! You're cured!

Jamala cannot allow our

sacred temple to be violated.

I had no choice, Your Majesty. Let

him approach!That potion has cured

me of the same raging monster that once

lived within your own prince. Because

my warrior saw this raging green

monster, I do believe you.

You, Mateo, know the jungle too

well. I cannot allow you to leave.

My girlfriend's gonna k*ll me if I don't

get back for a date Saturday night. So

what do you say, tall lady?

I do not wish to harm you, Dr. Banner.

You have suffered enough. I forgive you,

both of you. Oh, boy.

Thank you, Jamala. But what about Mateo?

I'll be very happy to spend my final

days here. Go, doctor. You are

cured. The potion will not work again.

It only works once. I

understand.

Let's get the test started. Screen

two, take it.

At my command.

Fire!

The tests are underway, Dr. Banner. The

general's been looking for you. I was

afraid of that. They've moved the tests

up. To the lab, fast, Rick!

Well, look who's finally here. Banner!

Bruce, welcome home. Betty, something

wonderful has happened. Something

important to both of us. Dinner tonight?

There's a big question I want to ask you.

Oh, I can't wait. Banner, the tests!

Something's wrong with the accentuator.

Everything looks fine to me. Stop!

Let me go! Let go of her! Stop

right there, better. General Ross, get

the solar crystallizer loaded on a cargo

plane now. And I'm taking you along

too, General. Extra insurance.

Leave Betty and her father here. I'll be

your hostage.

Stay out of the way, Talbot. It's pure

electricity! Whoa!

When these sprinklers turn on, they'll

short out the force field. It'll eat

itself up.

Put me down!

This is the structural formula for the

sonar crystallizer rays. Find me a

defense against it. Nothing's working,

Doc. This computer's got all the

information. If there is an answer, it

must come up with it. Well, it better

hurry. Information computed shows that

only one thing can defeat the solar

crystallizer. Back Hulk! Back Hulk!

Back Hulk! Back Hulk! No!

No, it's impossible! I'm cured! I

can't become the Hulk again!The Hulk is

dead! You're cured! The gamma ray

machine! No! Tormented

beyond description, Banner

knows what must be done. In

order to save those who need him,

he must sacrifice himself.

The Incredible Hulk must live

again. Doc, stop! You

can't!

If you are ever cursed with this rage

again, we cannot help you. No

cure, the whole. No cure, the

whole. No cure, the whole.

Doc, you okay?Well, maybe it didn't

work this time. Doc!

No! No They're getting away!

Oh,

duck!

Boss, but what's coming?The Hulk,

where he's too late!

We'll be airborne in fitness. The

Hulk, that's all we need now.

That may be just who we do need

now. Hulk not lie. The

computer was right. The crystallizer

doesn't affect the Hulk.

Cosmos! Push the weapon out!

Help! Help

No! He won't hurt us!

How did you know he wouldn't hurt us?I

didn't know. I just felt it.

Too bad he destroyed the sonar

crystallizer. It could have done a lot of

good. Uh,

what time are you picking me up?Betty,

I'm afraid I'm going to have to postpone

it. The things have changed.

I'm sorry.

Oh, Bruce, I don't think we'll ever have

that dinner date. Once again, Bruce

Banner faces a future of torment and

sorrow, but he'll never stop

seeking a cure for his horrible

malady. He'll never stop hoping he can

one day destroy the monster

within him.
