Good-bye.
[ General Ross ] He gets released, anda month later yourlab is destroyed.
What a coincidence.
So you're not gonna tell me where he is, are ya?
How many times do I have to tell you? I'd like to help you, but I just don't know.
You know who I am. Right, Banner?
Your Betty's father. You're a high-ranking general. Let's cut the crap.
I'm the guywho had your father tossed away, and a lot more like him,
and I'll do the same with you ifl feel so disposed.
You understand? Ifyou had him tossed away, then why areyou asking me?
I don't remember. I was always told my fatherwas dead.
Don't playwith me!
You were fouryears old when you saw it.
When I saw what?
You were right there. How could anyone forget a thing like that?
What?
Oh, some more repressed memories.
Just tell me.
I'm sorry, son.
You're an even more screwed-up mess than I thoughtyou'd be.
Until we get to the bottom ofthis,
yourlab has been declared a top-secret militarysite...
and you're not gonna get a security clearance to get back into it...
or any other lab that's doing anything more interesting than...
trying to figure out the next generation ofherbal hair gel.
One more thing.
Ifyou ever...
come within a thousand yards of my daughter again,
I'll putyou away for the rest ofyour natural life.

And let nothing stand in yourway!
[Barking, Snarling Continue ] Go!

Hello?
[ David On Phone ] Bruce?
So, they think they can just throw you away as they did me.
[ Conversation, Faint ]
What's wrong with me? What did you do to me?
I got a visit today.
A very unwelcome visit.
I'm afraid my hand is being forced.
What did you do to me?
You so much want to know, don'tyou?
But I think no explanation will serveyou halfas well..
as the experience.
In any case, I still don't quite understand it myself.
Ifthey'd only let me work in peace--
Of course, my betters would have none ofthat.
[Bruce On Phone ] Soyou experimented onyourself, didn'tyou?
And passed on to me... what?
[ David ] An alteration. Genetic.
A deformity. I guess you could call it that.
But an amazing strength too.
And now, finally unleashed, I can harvest it.
No.
You'll do no such thing.
I will isolate it and treat it myself.
I'll remove it and I'll kill it before it does any real harm.
I'll betyou and your Betty would love to destroy it.
But would you really destroy part ofyourself?
I don't think so.
And as for Betty,
I'm sending her a surprise visit...
from some four-legged friends of mine.
You see, I managed to culture some ofyourvery own DNA, Bruce,
and the results are tremendous.
They're unstable, but very powerful.
What about my DNA?
[ David ] Let's just wait and see what Betty makes ofthe results, huh?
No. You're crazy.
I won't letyou.
[ Murmuring ]
Getyour hands off of me. Talbot, what's this--
Inside, asshole. I wanna talk toyou.
Listen, myfather's going after Betty--
What makes you think you can go behind my back and get Ross to cut me out, huh?
[ Groans ] Listen to me! Betty's in trouble!
[ Both Grunting ]
You pathetic freak.
Betty's in danger. I swear to you, she'll be killed.
I can state the obvious. [ Groaning, Panting ]
Something tells meyou aren't in much ofa position to be making stupid threats to anyone.
[ Grunting, Groaning Continues ]
Talbot. Yeah?
You're making me angry.
Oh, am I?

My God.
It must be the nanomeds. It must be the gamma exposure.
Butwe've never seen any effect like this before.
No. Deeper.
The gamma just unleashed what was already there.
Unleashed what?
Me.
It. [ Gasps ]
It's okay.
[ Grunting, Panting ] Shh. It's okay.
What were those animals?
Myfathersent them.
He is my father.
He wanted me to change.
He wanted me to change into that mindless hulk.
Whywould he want that?
Can you remember anything?
Is there anything from when you were changed?
It was like a dream.
About what?
Rage.
Power.
And freedom.
[Phone Ringing]
Hello? Sir.
Hello. Dad?
Betty! Are you all right?
I'm scared. I need your help.
Where are you?
How are you?
Okay, I guess.
I think that somehow...
your anger is triggering the nanomeds.
How could it? We designed them to respond to physical damage.
Emotional damage can manifest physically.
Like what?
Serious trauma.
Repressed memories.
Your father grilled me about something that happened to me from early childhood...
that I'm supposed to remember.
He did?
It sounded bad, but... I honestly don't remember.
The thing that worries me...
is...
a physical wound is finite,
but with emotions,
what's to sayit won't just go on and on...
and start a chain reaction?
You know what scares me the most?
When it happens,
when it comes over me...
and I totally lose control,
I like it.
[BeepingSound]
[ Gasps ]
It's okay. I got you. I'm sorry.
You'll be okay. It's just to make you sleep.
Target down. Target secure.
I'm going to takeyou someplace safe.
Okay? Bruce?
Bruce?
[Man Shouts, Indistinct]
[ Man Shouting ] Clear!
Attention on deck. Carry on.
[Betty] We're buried out here in the middle ofnowhere.
How long are you gonna keep him sedated?
For the rest of his natural life, if I have to.
You said I could trust you. I 'm your father.
You can trust me to do what I think is right, not what you thinkyou want.
- He is a human being. - He is also something else.
Suppose he gets out, has one ofhis little mood swings...
in a populated area.
Yes, I'm aware of the potential danger. I'm also aware that he saved my life.
Yeah, from a mutant French poodle.
I'm indebted to him for that.
He also put three men in a hospital, and Talbot's barelywalking!
- What doyou want me to do? - I wantyou to help him!
- Why is he such a threat toyou? - Because I knowwhat he comes from.
He is his father's son, every last molecule ofhim.
Hesays he doesn't know his father,
but he's workin' in the same exact goddamn field his father did.
So either he's lyin'... or it's somethin' worse, and he's--
What?
Predestined to follow in his father's footsteps?
I was gonna say "damned."
Of courseyou were.
But I'm a scientist.
As a scientist, I believe we can figure this out and he can be helped.
I knowyou do.
Look, whetheryou know or care,
I've got a lot of pride in whatyou've done.
But this is too big foryou.
Look, I know the government thinks they have a weapon on their hands.
Otherwise, he'd be dead by now.
They can probe andprod all they want,
and in the meanwhile, just let me try to help him.
Nobodyknows him betterthan I do.
What did David Banner do to him?
Cover left! Clear left.
Cover right!

Gonna have to askyou to...
put your hands up, pal, okay?
Nice and easy. [ Creaking ]
[ Wheezing Laugh ]
Doyou really believe...
that I am separate from you? [ Laughs ]
Whoa!
Where am I?
You're home.
It's hard to believe we used to live here.
I must have seen you or known you.
If only I could remember.
[ Chains Squeaking ]
This is my old house, isn't it?
Let's go.
Please try.
[ Shuddering ]
[Shuddering Continues ]
[Betty] What is it?
Nothing.
Really?
Damn it.
Okay, Betty... what doyou want to know?
What was in that room?
What are you afraid that I'll see?
[ Gasps ]
See? There's nothing.
[ Sighs ] It's empty.
[Betty] What doyou mean, I don't have access to him?
[Ross ] NSA has decided to turn overstudy ofthe, uh-- the threat to Atheon.
But you're head of the base.
I thought you were in charge.
But I don't set policy, and I still take orders.
[ Yells ]
I can't believe Talbot would go around me like this!
Oh, there's a lot of powerful people that want in on this.
And moneyto be made-- lots ofit.
You know the worst part about all this?
When I had David Bannerlocked up andsent that kid away,
I didn't give that boy a second thought: he was just collateral damage.
Well, he isn't anymore, is he?
What can I do?
[ Sighs ] You can go home now.
I'd tellyou to go andsaygood-bye, but I've alreadybeen informed...
that for now all further contact is out of the question.
Right.
[DoorOpens ]
[Door Closes ]
Hiya, Bruce. How ya feelin'? Grub okay in here forya?
What do you want?
That's a good question.
See, I need your cells to trigger some chemical distress signals.
You know, soyou can turn a little green for me again...
and I can carve off a piece ofthe real you,
analyze it, patent it, make a fortune.
Doyou mind?
I'll never letyou.
I'm not sureyou've got much ofa choice.
[ Screams ]
Come on, Bruce. Aren'tyou feeling a little angry?
After all, you've only got me to playwith now that Betty's dumped you and gone back to Berkeley.
[ Screams ] You're lying.
You know, for me this is a win-win situation.
You turn green, andall these guys come in and killyou...
and I perform the autopsy.
- You don't... - [ Screaming Continues ]
and I mop the floor with you...
and maybe by accident go too far and breakyour neck.
Bad science, maybe... but personally gratifying.
[ Screams ]
Come on, Bruce! Let's see what you got.
[ Panting ] Never.
[ Grunts ]
You know, consciously you may control it,
but subconsciously, I bet that's another story.
All right, let's jump-start those brain waves.
- [Tapping Keyboard] - [ Humming ]
[Edith's Voice, Indistinct]
Bruce.
- My dear Miss Ross. - [ Gasps ]
Welcome back.
There are two guards right outside.
You don't have to worry. I'm not angrywith you. Not anymore.
What do you want?
It's overforme now. I knowthat.
And soon it'll be over for Bruce.
That's why I've come to you--
to askyou ifyou could persuade your father,
as a man, as a father himself,
that ifl turn myselfin now, peacefully...
and before he puts me away forever,
that he would let me see my son...
for one last time.
Could you do that for me?
It's out of my father's hands now.
I understand. He's a puppet now.
I don't blame him. Youshouldn't.
You should blameyourself forwhatyou've done toyour son.
And what have I done to my son, Miss Ross?
Nothing. I tried to improve on the limits in myself.
Myself!. Not him!
Canyou understand? To improve on nature.
My nature! Knowledge of oneself!.
It's the only path to the truth...
that give men the power to go beyond God's boundaries!
You know what's beyond your boundaries? Other people.
Allyou've given Bruce is fear.
Fear of life.
Fear?
Perhaps, Miss Ross.
And loneliness too.
Yes... I feel them both.
But I have lived... completely once.
I was so much in love,
andshe so much wanteda baby.
Mybaby.
I could tell from the moment she conceived...
that it wasn't a son I had given her...
but something else.
A monster, maybe.
I should have put a stop to it right then,
but I was curious and that was my downfall.
And as I watched this tiny life unfold,
I began to imagine the horror ofit,
and my curiosity was replaced...
with com passion.
But they took away my chance to cure him.
Your father threw me out.
- What are you doing? - I remember that dayso well--
every moment, every sensation--
walking into the house,
the feeling ofthe handle ofthe knife in my hand.
I knew I was doing a father's work, fulfilling a father's mercy.
[ Edith Yelling ] David, please stop it! No!
David, no! Talk to me! Listen!
But then she surprised me.
- [ Yel I i ng ] - [ Edith ] No! No!
David, no!
It was as if..
she and the knife...
merged.
No!
You cannot imagine...
the unbearable finality ofit.
And in that one moment...
I took everything that was dear to me...
and transformed it into nothing more...
than a memory.
Bi ngo! That m ust be some jum bo nightmare he just had.
Okay, do it now. Start the enzyme extraction.
[ I nstruments Beeping, Whirring ]
Sir, negative on drill penetration.
Damn it, drill him harder! Give him full RPMs. Come on, Holeman! Come on!
[ Growls ]
[BeepingSpeeds Up]
- Should I neutralize? - No! I can't do anything with goop! Come on!
[ Grunts ]
[ Roaring ]
- All right, put him to sleep. - [Tapping Keyboard]
[ Pants, Grunts ]
[Technician ] It's not stopping him!
[ Growls, Grunts ]
Ready room, send in our containment team.
Non-lethals only. I repeat, non-lethals only.
I must have a sample ofhim.
Sir!
-Jesus! - Hit him with the foam.
[Technician ] Deploycontainment foam.
Talbot, talk to me.
Cease fire! Under control, General. I'll let you know ifwe need you.
Unacceptable. Unseat your asses down here immediately.
I want a full-court evacuation now.
I'm shutting you down. Lockdown.
Didn'tyou hear what the general said? I said lockdown!
Clear! I need a sample ofhim!
[ Growling ] Take it easy there, buddy.
This might giveyou a bit ofa sting here, Bruce. [ Drill Whirrs ]
[ Growling Continues ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Growling Continues ]
Fall back! Fall back! Clearyourweapon! Clear it!
Give me the M2. So long, big boy.
Clear!

Target's still moving towards blue level.
- Evacuate the main hall. - [ All Screaming ]

Mr. President, I have some bad news, sir.
Let's have it, General.
I've briefed the president onAngryMan. I assume that's what this is about.
It is, ma'am. I'm requesting a National Command Authority override.
Angry Man is unsecure.
I need everything we have at my disposal in order to stop his movement.
You're expecting civilian casualties, General?
Not ifl can help it, ma'am.
Consider it done. Keep us posted.
Contact Goodman Control.
Patch data to the assets.
Contact H.Q.
Have them initiate an immediate evacuation...
in vicinity ofgrid coordinates 653-2 1 6--
Confirm that the area has been cleared.
Confirm area cleared.
[Technician On Radio ] H.Q. confirms area cleared. Assets on-line, sir.
[ Ross ] Gentlemen, it's time to dig in.
I want this target stopped in his tracks.
