01x10 - Impossible

[bunniefuu]

Yo, Ben, I didn't know you had kids.

You're about to get an asteroid-powered
beatdown, flame-brain.

What the...
Reed, your galaxy here is too lightweight.

Put me up something to throw at the kid.

It's all made of light, Ben.

None of it is real,
or throwable, for that matter.

[JOHNNY LAUGHS]

Your thingamabob looks broken.

Yes, my deep-space probes were designed
to be a simple early-warning system

so we could be better prepared
for any visitors.

Visitors? Oh, you mean alien invaders.
Good thinking.

It should have been able to evade
any small space rocks or debris. Strange.

It's coming back for repairs right now.

So you're thinking foul play?
Someone messed with it?

What?

Johnny, you should probably
start running, now.

[EXCLAIMS]

Best invention ever!

The probe's on its way.
Let's get up to the hangar.

Yeah, it'll be easy to throw Johnny
off the roof from there.

[JOHNNY RAZZING]

Why did you call me up here again, Reed?

In case aliens hijacked Reed's doohickey

and it turned into
a huge world-destroying robot.

No. But that would be interesting,
wouldn't it?

I thought you'd be curious.

Just imagine the data
this probe is bringing back.

It was outside our galaxy.

Reed, you did say there was
only one probe coming in, right?

I did. There is. I mean...

[ALL EXCLAIM]

Ta-da!

Hi!

Who are you? I'm me. Nice outfit.

What is this place? Can you talk?

Orange! Neat!

Reed, it touched my hair.

Would it be bad if I just stepped on him?

Great stuff. Say, a rocket? I like it.

It taught me English.
Are you really evolved from apes?

[GROWLING]

That's crazy.

I included information on humanity
within the probe,

just in case it made contact
with intelligent beings.

But what he did,
transforming into a working rocket,

that's not...

Pardon me. My name is Reed Richards.

- Who are you?
- What's a name?

You learned about humanity
from my probe,

but how were you able
to transform into it?

How? Like this!

You're a pretty weird species.
Are you all so different?

All stretchy and rocky and stuff?

What's all this in here?

What am I right now?

Anybody hungry?

You know, I am kind of hungry.

Hey, what is this thing?
Some kind of hyper-Skrull?

Reed, you're being awfully quiet.

It's not a Skrull. It's not... It's just...
It's impossible.

This creature, everything he's doing...

He's breaking every law of physics
there is.

- It's impossible.
- Well, obviously it's not.

I mean, there he is, doing everything
he shouldn't be able to do, right?

What are you talking about?
He's just a little alien spaz.

Hey, what are you guys talking about?
Me?

Do you like me?
Do you want to be my friend?

My planet isn't fun. Is your planet fun?

I bet it is. I want to see
what it's like to have fun.

I want this to be
the best game I've ever had!

That's impossible.

- We get it.
- We get it.

HERBIE: Beginning x-ray scan.

It's sh**ting me with light. Interesting.
I can be light.

Sir, the subject, it disappeared.

Wait, let me guess. That's impossible, too.

Well, it is.

Green person, can you transform back?

Continue scanning, HERBIE.

HERBIE? What's that?

Error. Subject transforming.

Why can't I see you? Are you light?

- Does not compute.
- Are you in this room?

- How are you?
- Am I really hearing you?

- Can you hear me now?
- Not possible.

- Am I HERBIE?
- No, I'm HERBIE!

Aren't I? Dr. Richards, listen...

Dude, it broke HERBIE!

All right, look, you... You...

You gotta have a name.
What do other people call you?

Call me?

I'm starting to think you humans
are obsessed with these names.

Like calling things things.
What do they call you? Bricky?

Okay, I officially like him.

That's it. Reed, your Impossible Man,
he's about to get chucked out the window.

No, Ben! It's okay. Let's not be hasty.

- Why do you wear clothes?
- Well, I... Good question.

What was that all about?

This being, this Impossible Man,

he could well be the most powerful
creature we've ever encountered.

[HORN BLARING]

Nice one, Stretch.
You had me going for a second.

Really, Reed, how dangerous could he be?

He's like a child.
An annoying, obnoxious child.

- You know, like Johnny.
- That could be exactly the problem.

Think about it. He can do anything.

He can transform into anything.

Now imagine if he got angry.

Imagine if he ran into
the wrong kind of person.

What if he had landed on Dr. Doom
or the Mole Man?

We have to keep him happy,

and keep an eye on him
until we figure out what to do.

If he were to discover the city,
it could be a disaster.

All right, we just need to keep him
occupied until Reed figures this out.

- Johnny, Ben...
- Who are you talking to?

Hey!

[CLATTERING]

[GLASS SHATTERING]

[LA UGHING]

[LAUGHING]

[PHONE RINGING]

REED: HERBIE, reconfirm the probe's last
known coordinates before it was damaged.

This may be the creature's point of origin.

HERBIE: Coordinates confirmed.

Last known location before the presence
of the... The alien.

Increase zoom by 10,000 times.

[IMPY LA UGHING]

Oh, no! Not possible! Does not compute.

Come on, let's do more and see more.
Let's go outside, have some fun!

You're not going anywhere, runt.
Now sit down!

- Hey, stop that.
- Hey, stop that!

- Knock it off!
- Knock it off!

I'm warning you.

Well, I've got some bad news

and some really bad news. I...

Ben! No!

- Hey, that was fun. Look, there's more.
- Oh, grog!

[BEN SCREAMING]

So much for containment.

[GRUNTS]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Gotta get Reed to install rubber streets
around the Baxter Building.

That was fun. What's next? What now?
Let's go again.

Look, Mommy.

Yeah, I think we're going to play a game
called, "Let's go back in time."

Wait! What's that?

- What's what?
- That and that and that and that!

That. And that, and that and that!

Fun time's over, Impy. Let's go.

Oh, you want to play that game again.
Okay.

[BEN SCREAMING]

Where'd they go?

I don't think they'll be too hard to find.
Just follow the sounds of destruction.

Well, hello!

Look, we're the same.

Hey, America, Johnny Storm here,
reminding you to fly safe.

You're all bright and warm now!

I know how much fun throwing Bricky
around the city is, but we gotta go.

We can beat him up
at the Baxter Building.

Thanks, Torch. Thanks a lot.

I suppose we could go back,

or we could go look around the city.

You wouldn't believe all the stuff
that I've seen.

JOHNNY: Wait! No! What?

BEN: Okay, I'll admit it.

This one might be my fault,
but he was asking for it.

Let's just find him
and get him back to the building.

Everyone relax. I'm okay.

[EXCLAIMS]

How come you don't talk
when you change?

Well, let's talk about that.
If we go back to my lab...

I've been there. I'm gonna go. I'll be there.

Look, I know everything
must seem very exciting,

but it's really important
that we go back inside for now.

Do you understand?

Why isn't anyone changing?

You four seem different.
No one else is changing.

They can't, can they?

No, normal humans can't change
like you do.

[WHISTLES]

My planet was the most dangerous place
you could imagine.

But we learned to change to survive.

But here, you are all so soft and pudgy.
You wouldn't last a day.

Are you saying your people evolved
your ability to change?

That this is some sort of
environmental adaptation?

I'm not pudgy.

This has got to be the best place
in the universe.

I got him!

Nice one, tubby.
Let me show you how this is done.

- Johnny!
- Flame on!

Wait! No!

This is the best place on...

I'm sorry. He's just really annoying.

Everyone just stop.
It's useless to try and fight him.

He's too powerful and doesn't understand.
He thinks it's a game.

Oh, say, Impy, what are you doing?

I love you guys. I love this planet.

It's like some kind of paradise. So fun.
People have to know.

Oh, no!

Yes, I'm letting all my people know
they have to come here right now

and check Earth out.

You're going to love my people.
They're just like me.

But, you know, times a billion!

- ALL: Fun, fun, fun...
- Fun, fun, fun...

Ben, get in.

We're playing a new game.
It's called catch.

Oh, sweet! Can I play?

- How do we play?
- You'll figure it out.

I didn't know we were so playful.

Hey, wait! Where are you going?

Oh, I get it. Catch!

REED: Susan, are you reading me?
I've got a plan.

We're heading back to the Baxter Building,
but I need a few minutes to set up.

- I need you to slow him down.
- No problem. We'll keep him

occupied. Right.

Okay. Johnny, Reed said
for you to slow him down.

I'm on it. I know exactly what to do.
Hey, Imp! Take a look.

Oh! Shiny.

HERBIE: Can't be! Can't be! Impossible!

HERBIE, I agree. It's impossible.

But there's no time
to think about it right now.

I need to import your data
from the Impossible Man

into the simulation systems.

[RUMBLING]

And I'll get that.

Hey, guys, how's it going?
Where's the little green guy?

What? Where'd you guys go?

Need more time.

Reed,

you're out of time.

[PEOPLE CLAMORING]

- I caught you. I win.
- No, actually, I win.

The games are over.

- What did I miss?
- I have taken away your ability to change.

What? No, you didn't.

You're playing. I can still change.
Look, I'm a giant robot.

No!

No! You can't do that.

I'm afraid I can.

- That's not fair! Give it back!
- No.

- Unless.
- Anything. Name it. Please!

First, contact your people and tell them
Earth is a terrible vacation spot.

And second, go home.

[ALL EXCLAIM]

JOHNNY: You're a gorilla.

[ALARM BLARING]

You guys, it's a trick! You're the funnest.

That's it. I give up.
You win, Impossible Man. I'm done.

What do you mean? Where are you going?

Hey! Guys?

What are you doing now, huh, huh?
Can we go back outside?

Can we play catch again?

There's no point. We can't beat you.
You've won.

We're just gonna sit here now.

We're just gonna sit here now
and do absolutely nothing.

[GRUNTS]

What? You can't do that.

[BEN SNORING]

Come on! I thought you were fun.

But you're not. You're boring.

I hate this place.
No one should ever come here.

I hope your planet gets eaten.

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Can I...
- No.

- I said no.
- IMPY: How about now?

- No.
- Can we come back now?

- No.
- How about now?

- No.
- How about now?

No.

[IMPY WHIMPERING]

Do I have to fix this? It wasn't my fault.

I didn't set the controller down there!

There's still the hole in the wall
downstairs to fix, too.

Come on. I said I was sorry.

I miss Impossible Man.
