It's all over but the cremation.
Come on, Jack, we can make it.
Wolves. They're breaking through.
Let me get up.
Jack, no! Jack!
(GROWLS)
(ROARS)
You must be a lot stronger than you look.
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 alters his body chemistry.
And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged,
a startling metamorphosis occurs.
(ROARS)
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.
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit.
David Banner is believed to be dead.
And he must let the world think that he is dead
until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
(ROARS)
Look out!
What is your name?
(DAVID BREATHING HEAVILY)
DAVID: I don't know.
Amnesia?
DAVID: Uh, Doctor, please.
I think I know him.
Try to remember.
If I find the Hulk, I get my story.
You collect $10,000 reward money.
(THUNDER CLAPPING)
We've snapped an oil line.
You guys strap in back there pretty tight. It's gonna get kind of rough.
(THUNDER CLAPPING)
(CRASHING)
You're a lot luckier than the pilot.
PILO T: No sign of wreckage, One Zebra.
I've checked all quadrants on their flight plan from Barstow to your position.
Caroline!
DAVID: Well, look at the front of that fire!
Now look at the sides, right? It's cutting around like a giant pincers.
If we get caught in the middle of that,
my memory, your story, and the Hulk won't make any difference, Jack.
DAVID: We've got to keep moving, Jack.
McGEE: (SIGHING) I was afraid you'd say that.
(BOTH SIGHING)
I'm telling you, you should stay off the leg.
It's all right. No, it's not all right.
All we have in the first-aid kit are peroxide and Band Aids.
I'm cold. All right?
Move around a little bit, it helps the circulation, all right?
(WOLF HOWLING) Besides, we've got other things to worry about now.
Yeah, I know. I've been watching them since this morning.
McGEE: Wolves.
I feel like I'm in some Jack London novel, or something.
Well, they're being driven by the fire just like we are.
Only one difference. What?
We're trying to survive in their environment.
We got our brains, that puts us one up on the wolves.
Are you hungry, Jack?
Yeah, I'm hungry. Why?
Well, if they're hungry,
we're gonna need a lot more than our brains.
Now look, you got to stay off that leg,
so strap yourself back in again, will you?
Come on.
Easy.
(HOWLING)
You okay? Yeah.
Just keep an eye out for those wolves. All right?
Here we go.
(MAN CHATTERING ON RADIO)
Well, Chief Cory, am I glad to see you.
That sounds like we've got a bad one building.
Oh. You're so right.
And you're just in time to start making all the hard decisions.
The ones they don't pay us deputy chiefs to make.
Tell it to my wife and daughter, Hal.
I had to leave them up at the cabin.
This is my first vacation in six... Uh... Uh...
All right. You better give me the bad news.
Okay.
Well, we got a 20-mile front.
And the winds on the fire line are about six knots.
Mmm.
Now, if this wind picks up, things are gonna start jumping all over the place.
We've got four companies working
and two held in reserve, but that's not lot to fall back on.
On the way in I picked up search control's message
on that downed aircraft. What's the status from our end?
No status as of yet.
We don't know exactly where it went down,
but it's got to be someplace in the path of this fire.
Weather still predicting snow?
Yeah. But nobody wants to say when.
Could be just the thing we need to stop the fire, though.
Well, what if there are survivors from that air crash?
(EXHALES)
Freezing in a blizzard or frying in a fire. Now, there's some choice.
(GROANING)
Home is the hunter.
(COUGHING)
I cleared the area for about 20 feet around, okay?
And I found us some food.
Oh.
What food do you come up with in the mountains in wintertime?
Right here.
What is it?
Serviceberries, okay?
Serviceberries?
Suddenly I remembered that Indians used to mix this with their pemmican.
Those little doors in your brain just keep opening, don't they?
Yeah. Opening and...
And then closing again.
How about you? How are you feeling?
Well, I could use a drink.
Okay.
How's our old friend, the forest fire?
Well, fortunately, it is still
to the southwest and it's a very good thing that we went north.
Well, we're alive.
But we are further off from Eden still.
Well, suppose I fix dinner, hmm?
Yeah. Waiter,
I would like my berries medium-rare.
Ah, yes, sir. Absolutely, sir. Absolutely.
(WOLF GROWLING)
DAVID: The wolves.
(DAVID GRUNTING)
(WOLVES GROWLING)
They're breaking through.
John!
John! Over there.
They'll be back.
You were right. They're hungrier than we are.
(GROWLING)
MAN: Go back. The wind's shifting.
MAN ON RADIO: Basecamp-King.
This is Rook Air-Five to Basecamp-King.
Basecamp-King, have you noticed a wind shift?
MAN 2: The wind velocity is up in the northeast quadrant.
MAN 1: Yes, we copy.
Boss.
What is it, Hal?
We've got a wind shift and an increase in velocity.
Which direction?
North. We got a problem.
John.
Let me get up. I can walk.
No, no, just stay there, Jack!
Just stay on that. Come on, I can help.
Jack! No, Jack, no!
Jack!
(GROWLING)
DAVID: Jack, grab my hand.
I'm trying. I can't.
You've got to. Reach.
They've cut around us.
Grab on to the other hand!
(GRUNTING)
Jack! Jack, damn it. Stay with me!
Jack.
Jack!
(WOLVES CONTINUE GROWLING)
(ROARING)
(GRUNTING)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(GROANING)
DAVID: A threat. He threatens your survival.
He'll expose you.
No. Why a threat? Expose what?
(INAUDIBLE)
LI SUNG: A persistent man, Mr. McGee.
DAVID: Oh yes, he's very persistent.
LI SUNG: Persistent man, Mr. McGee.
McGee. McGee. McGee.
With McGee around every corner, I really can't afford to take a chance.
Very persistent.
Enemy. Enemy.
Enemy McGee. McGee. McGee.
(ROARS)
John?
Yes?
You got us out of there?
I think so.
What's that supposed to mean?
I'm not sure, I, uh...
I must've blacked out when I...
When I came to, I...
I don't know, my shirt was torn off my body,
my pants, my shoes were gone.
I can't explain it. It...
I must've blacked out. It's that simple.
Well, nothing is simple anymore.
Simple plane trip, simple hike in the woods.
Wolves, fires.
All right, Jack.
(EXCLAIMING IN PAIN)
Now look, I want you to hold that on there.
Right, hold it on there.
Yeah.
I'll be back in a little bit. I'm gonna, uh...
I'm gonna go get us some water.
John.
Be careful, okay?
Yes.
I mean, uh...
I don't have
too many friends.
A friend that...
Just look out for yourself, all right?
How's the fire?
We're a little ahead of it.
(CHUCKLES)
You must be a lot stronger than you look.
A lot stronger.
DAVID: Friend.
PILO T ON RADIO: Basecamp-King, this is Rook Air-Five.
Basecamp-King, this is Rook Air-Five. Over.
WOMAN ON RADIO: Rook Air-5, this is Basecamp. Go.
Roger, Basecamp-King.
Lima Company commander reports
his people have located downed aircraft...
Seven-Oh-Seven Hotel. Over.
Was the aircraft in Lima's burn-quadrant, Air-Five? Over.
Ah, Roger, Basecamp-King.
Everything in the area was wasted. Over.
No survivors, then? Over.
A grave, and that's it. Over.
I copy, Air-Five. Stand-by.
Air-Five, they may have headed up north.
Why don't you go up to quadrant 35 and see what you can see? Over.
I copy.
McGEE: I always was afraid of death.
You see pictures of death.
You know, pictures in books.
Always about nine feet tall, a hooded skull and a big scythe.
It used to...
It scared me to...
So, I started to think about death as
just a creaky old man on a squeaky old bike, just moving along.
It made it easier to think about.
Especially now.
You're not dying, Jack.
Oh, no, no, certainly not.
Can't give up hope, can we?
No, we can't.
Hope.
Now there's a word for you.
It's right in a class with Eden.
But you will have to admit it's a very strange name
for a place you have to reach to find safety.
Probably some flea-bitten little
pit stop with a one-pump gas station
and a 10th-rate motel...
And a doctor.
Oh, you're my doctor, John.
Hands like silk.
Can't feel a thing.
See?
Not a twinge.
It is a little infected, that's true, but I think if we get to town...
Oh, knock it off. It's gangrene. Even I can tell gangrene.
It's not gangrene. Not yet.
But it soon could be.
You're dynamite at fixing a busted leg, John.
And nobody can touch you as a sled dog, but as a liar,
you're an out and out bum. You got no talent for it at all.
The skin would be turning black if it was gangrenous. No circulation.
And that's why we have to get to town before gangrene does set in.
Why don't you just cut it off?
Why put off till tomorrow what you can cut off today?
John.
We're going on.
That fire isn't standing still.
PILO T ON RADIO: Lima company's commander asked me to relay
that he's had to pull back to coordinates
seven-eight-niner- zero-zero-six.
It's shifting again, Bob.
Getting awfully close to that cabin of yours.
No, Helen's all right. She has her radio. She'll know when to get out.
Betty, radio my wife.
Call letters India-Bravo-Echo-Six.
But what about our friends out there?
About the only thing that can save them now is our reluctant blizzard.
Save them or kill them.
If they're not dead already.
You know, you should see the map that I've got back at the office, John.
It's full of pins.
There are red pins, white pins,
little green pins, like a crazy war game.
Every place that the Hulk's been seen.
The Hulk even saved my life once.
It was an accident, of course.
When, Jack? Where?
Uh, it was in Las Vegas.
I was out there staying at the...
Sahara Hotel.
Yeah.
This, uh, buddy of mine
dug up some information on the Mob.
So I was doing a story and...
How did you know I was at the Sahara?
I'm not sure.
Las Vegas is a big tourist city.
I must've been there at one time or another.
Maybe we stayed in the same hotel.
Could be.
Funny, though.
Yeah.
Well, what happened in Vegas?
Oh, yeah...
To make a long story short,
my buddy ended up in the hospital, and I ended up
at a construction site in the bottom of a pit.
McGEE: The Hulk is like nothing else you have ever seen, John.
It's like going back in time.
(ROARING)
That was that. He just
wandered off into the night.
Like I said, it was an accident. He...
Where you going?
Oh, I'm gonna check that stream we've been following and get some more water.
John?
(INAUDIBLE)
(GROWLING)
David Banner
was killed in a lab fire.
No.
DAVID: Have you read much Robert Louis Stevenson?
CAROLINE: Treasure Island.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
(SIGHING)
DAVID: I'm Dr. David Banner.
And I'm the creature.
(ROARING)
McGEE: John?
John?
Where were you? I was starting to get worried.
What's the matter?
What are you looking at me like that for?
I told you not to move around, Jack.
You've re-opened that wound.
Get on the skid.
It's a waste of time, John. I'm just holding you back.
Listen, John...
Ow!
I've been... I've been thinking about this.
You know, you... You could make it into Eden alone...
And then you can send help back here.
Shut up, Jack.
We're going back together, okay?
There's no percentage in that.
We both know that I'm as good as...
(EXCLAIMS)
John, you're a born sucker, you know that.
Help your neighbors and to hell with your own skin, right?
Right?
Hear me?
Yeah, I heard you.
McGEE: You're just a stupid, idealistic sucker.
You hear me, John?
(ALL CHATTERING)
That's a roger, Air-Five. Over and out.
Quadrants 16, 17, and 20 have had it, sir.
Try my wife again.
India-Bravo-Echo-Six.
This is Basecamp-King. Do you read us? Over.
India-Bravo-Echo-Six.
This is Basecamp-King. Please respond. Over.
Chief, we've got fire showing about 300 meters away.
Pack it in, Betty. We've got to move it out.
(MEN CHATTERING)
I'm going into the cabin. You're in charge, Hal.
That's crazy. Look, her radio's on the blink, that's all.
She's probably down that mountain already...
Move to that secondary base camp we talked about. I'll try and meet you there.
Hal, contact search control. Tell them to call it off.
Those quadrants are wasted. There's no chance to survive.
And you're going in there? Bob, wait a minute.
Bob, wait!
It's too thick to get through with the sled.
We're gonna have to go the rest of the way on foot.
It's no good, forget it.
It's all over but the cremation.
Come on, Jack, come on, come on.
We can make it, it's not that far away. Now, come on.
Easy, easy, your leg, come on.
John, I can't make it.
Yeah, Jack, we can.
We can. Now listen to me. If you let up now, Jack, you'll never find the Hulk.
The Hulk is another lost cause.
Might as well be a million miles away.
But what if he wasn't?
What if you knew where he was?
I mean, what if you knew the secret close enough to touch?
It won't work, John. You're not gonna psyche me up again.
The Hulk, the Hulk, Jack. Look, think about it.
What if you had the Hulk?
Wouldn't it mean a great deal of money to you?
You could exploit all the publicity that the creature had to offer.
If you're trying to make me mad, it's working. What the hell do you think I am?
I don't know. Why don't you tell me?
Why do you want the Hulk so badly?
Because the Hulk means escape, get it?
It's the biggest story of the 20th century.
You could pick up a Pulitzer for journalism.
More important, I could get off of the Register.
I could stop banging out pap of the supermarket masses.
I could get my column back. Write real stories.
Important stories. I could be somebody.
And what happens to the Hulk?
I don't...
Probably just what you said would happen.
My paper'd bleed it dry.
They'd have the world's biggest freak.
They'll pull out all the stops, all the hoopla,
the exploitation, the whole King Kong sideshow.
But the Hulk saved your life, you told me so yourself.
Don't you think you should help it? Yes.
But you got to choose.
That's all life is, you know, my friend. Just choosing. It's you or the other guy.
What do you expect?
What do you want me to do, John?
Find the Hulk and walk away? You're kidding.
Yes, I guess I am.
But I'm not kidding about that fire.
And if we don't get out of here now, we're not gonna make it. Now, come on.
It's starting to catch up.
And we're gonna move now. And you're gonna go with me. Now, come on.
Come on, Jack, damn it.
(CHUCKLING)
You did it, didn't you? Kept me going.
(LAUGHING)
Jack! Jack! Look, the road.
Yeah. I'll lay you odds, it's the road to Eden. Come on.
No, no, Jack.
Jack, it's too hot down there. We're gonna have to find another way.
Sit down. Sit, Jack, come on.
Easy. Easy.
Okay, I'll be right back.
It's the road.
(SHOUTING)
Jack, Jack, no!
(TREE CRACKING) Jack, look out.
Jack!
Don't be an idiot.
Run! Jack, just help.
(BOTH GROANING)
McGEE: What is it?
What's wrong?
Oh, my God!
Get away, get back.
(McGEE BREATHING HEAVILY)
(GRUNTING)
It's you.
John!
It's you.
(ROARING)
McGEE: John, no... John...
John, can you understand me?
John...
John?
...and then we tried...
(COUGHING)
...the south access road, but...
Look out!
(WOMAN SCREAMING)
What's that?
Oh, Bob, quick, turn around.
Oh, Bob, what is it?
I don't know, but we're getting out of here just as soon...
Dad, that man's hurt.
Tony!
My God, Bob, stop her.
You see, Dad. He wants us to help him. You see?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think you're right.
It's okay. We'll help him.
John.
Wait!
It's okay, mister. You're all right now.
It's okay.
John!
Mark, I don't care if you're my editor or the Archbishop of Canterbury.
I think you're an idiot if you don't listen to what I'm telling you.
(WOMAN CHATTERING ON P.A.)
I know you're running the story, that's not the point.
It's not a gag. It's the truth.
I'm happy that it's selling newspapers.
I'm happy you're happy,
but there's a bigger story here.
Mark, this guy changes into the Hulk. He changes.
That's how the Hulk gets from place to place.
I don't know what man.
All... All I know is that I was with him for almost a week.
No, that's...
(EXCLAIMS)
No, his face was bandaged.
Damn it.
Mark, listen.
There is a man out there
who physically changes into a monster.
Now, I don't care if you believe it or not.
I know that it's true.
(WOMAN CONTINUES CHATTERING ON P.A.)
I know it's true. I know it's true. I know it's true.
I'll find you yet, John Doe.
They'll believe me then.
