01x03 - To Be a Man

[bunniefuu]

Igor the spy has sent a code message
behind the steel curtain

where it is delivered
to the dreaded Gorgon.

Learning that there is a creature
as powerful as he,

the Gorgon vows to destroy
the Incredible Hulk.

Attention.
This is the Gorgon.

Prepare a rocket-firing sub
for immediate departure.

A few hours later,
the giant ship surfaces.

Our radar is tracking an unidentified
object heading this way?

Unleash our hunter missiles.

But the capsule containing
the dreaded Gorgon escapes.

And now to find
the accursed Hulk...

and destroy him.

While in America...

It's hard to believe that you,
the world's most famous m*ssile expert,

because you were exposed to gamma rays,
might change again at any time.

Doc, your hands.
It's happening.

You're becoming the Hulk again.

Look out.
Keep your hands on the wheel.

Wheel? What wheel?
Who cares about a wheel?

Arising from the wreckage...

My head.

What am I doing here?

Where is Betty?
Must see Betty.

No, wait. You can't let Miss Ross
see you like this. Stop.

At last, the one called the Hulk.

Meanwhile, at General Ross's house...

I just can't get Bruce
out of my mind.

Honey, you just need
a little fresh air.

You're too imaginative.

Dad was right. I'll just say
to myself there is no Hulk.

- There is a Hulk.
- What?

Fainted.

Hulk, let go of her.

Shut up.
Nobody tells the Hulk what to do.

You're wrong, monster.

Turn around and face me,

the terrifying, all-powerful Gorgon.

The Hulk fears no g*n.

But this is a different kind of g*n.

This weapon shoots a will-destroying
pellet of my own design.

I'll swat you like a flea.

Wrong again, for the instant
this pellet strikes you,

you will become my sl*ve.

And now you.

It is done.
Now both of you rise and follow me.

How easy it is to conquer
any unsuspecting foe.

Recovering from her experience,
Betty is comforted by her dad.

It was horrible. I saw the Hulk.
But where is he now?

I'll find him, my child, I swear!

Racing to the coast in a stolen jeep,

the Gorgon brings its captives
closer to their doom.

In the eerie hours before dawn,
they paddle to his waiting submarine.

Reaching the edge of space,
they level off

to glide behind the steel curtain
at supersonic speeds.

The passive Hulk
sits like a dolt inside the cabin.

Suddenly... And he becomes
once more Dr Bruce Banner,

world-renowned scientist.

After landing, the Gorgon
receives a startling surprise.

The Hulk!
What happened to the Hulk?

What's this joker
talking about, Doc.?

Doc.? Wait.
I know you.

Dr Bruce Banner,
America's foremost atomic scientist.

That's it. You and the Hulk
are one and the same.

It's the most horrible thing
in the world to be a freak.

Doc., he's crying.

I'd give anything
to be normal again. Anything!

Doc., he's actually begging you
to help him.

I know, Rick.
Let me think.

Radiation might help if we do it now,
but we need the proper equipment.

I have it.
Follow me.

And so where once a Gorgon lay,
a man arises.

I despise you and all you stand for.

An American cured me,
and I renounce you.

The prisoners have escaped
in the Gorgon's rocket.

Enter, gentlemen. I am he
whom you once called the Gorgon.

Knowing I have saved
America's most brilliant scientist,

I am prepared to pay the price
with you as a man.

Traveling at supersonic speeds,

Banner's rocket
barely escapes the atomic blast.

Dismayed by the news
on his subminiature radio in America,

Igor awaits the fate of all spies,
while aboard the rocket...

- We're safe now, Dr Banner.
- You are, Rick.

But will I ever be safe
from the Hulk?
