01x04 - Terror of the Toadmen

[bunniefuu]

Behold, the planet earth,
mother of mankind,

the wellspring of human life,
silently spinning in the universe.

The earth, whose existence
is soon to be threatened

by unearthly spacecraft,

which even now
thunder toward our planet,

carrying loathsome crews
bent upon our destruction.

And now behold the Hulk,
mightiest of men,

who st*lks the earth, wreaking havoc.

This is man, intelligent,
resourceful, unsuspecting.

about to be tested
to the breaking point.

Oh, no. It's the Hulk.
Look out. Warn the others.

Get off the streets!
The Hulk is coming!

The Hulk.

The towns people fearfully watch
the troopers search.

There he is.
Quick, slam him.

Hulk, stop. It's me, Rick.

Wait, stop.

Come on, now, Doc...
the Hulk... Bruce.

Easy, now. Easy.

Rick leads the huge green-tinted
Hulk away from the town.

As the first rays of the sun
spray over the horizon,

a strange phenomenon occurs.

Welcome back, Doc.

Amen to that. I think I've got
the answer now. It's the night.

As soon as night falls,
I become that marauding monster.

Gosh, Doc., I think you're right.

And so Banner formulates a plan
to protect himself.

Bruce, Rick, wait.

Where are you going?

Rock hunting, no doubt.

On a scientific research expedition.

Don't run into the Hulk.

They soon find a good location.

This lonely underground cave
is perfect.

Meanwhile, the alien spaceship
lands in the desert.

Powerful brain detectors seek out
the brilliant mind of Dr Bruce Banner

who is deep within the bowels
of the earth.

At last my refuge is finished.

Now, remember, each twilight
before I change to the Hulk,

lock me in there without fail.

This door is of solid concrete
ten feet thick.

- Even the Hulk can't break through.
- OK. I'll release you every morning.

Suddenly...

We're being held here by magnetic
forces of unimaginable power.

Doc., look.
Coming towards us.

Giant human toads.

Our mind detector leads us
straight to our victim.

It is useless to struggle, earthmen.

We are toadmen
from outside your galaxy

and I am Captain Torrak.

Take them to the ship.

Doc;, what's happening to us?

It's fantastic. They've put us
into a weightless state.

We have captured
the greatest mind on earth.

Safely in orbit,
the toadmen attend their captives.

This is the flagship
of our invincible fleet.

After we learn how scientifically
advanced you earthlings are,

we will attack.

You will tell us
what we want to know.

Refuse and we can...

swoop your people
to the ground.

Or we can empty your oceans
with our magnetic repulsion rays.

We can destroy your cities.

Therefore you will tell me
what I wish to know.

Never, no matter how you threaten us.

- Attaboy, Doc.
- Silence, worthless stripling.

Back you go to earth.

Rick is soon on his way back
in a space cylinder

while Bruce fearfully witnesses
his landing.

Thank heavens he's safe.

We're orbiting into night.
Don't let it happen again, not now.

Who dares to imprison the Hulk?

Come, let us interview Banner.

What manner of creature is this?

We'd better destroy it.

You dare attack Hulk?

Your own puny g*n.
to stop puny man!

Now you stay locked up
while I explore ship.

More g*ns. Hulk doesn't need g*ns.

Meanwhile, at an American
anti-m*ssile base on earth...

Unidentified flying object?
sh**t it down, man.

Immediately
the electronic sensors zero in.

Stop. Wait. The Hulk...
Dr. Banner's up there.

His frenzied cry
cannot stop the deadly rockets.

The countdown begins.
Three, two, one, zero, fire.

Can even the Hulk's mighty frame
withstand the shock?
