"It's a girl!" "(CRYING)" "(HULK GROWLING)" "I want my baby." "Look, just call the police." "This thing's a giant." "RHODES:" "I gave him an overdose of morphine sulphite." "I'll be able to hide it from the autopsy." "They took my baby." "No!" "No!" "No!" "(BEEPING)" "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." "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." "Thanks for the ride." "Have a nice day." "Hi." "You two headed for the city?" "One more ride should do it." "Been traveling long?" "Couple of days." "Well, with your excess baggage it must seem like a couple of weeks." "It's not that bad." "Not as bad as it was." "I don't understand." "I don't know." "Last week I started to feel lighter." "Well, the baby might have dropped." "You know, you really..." "You really shouldn't be traveling in your condition." "You could go into labor at any time." "Hmm." "Well, what I should do and what I got to do are two different things." "Thanks." "(SIGHS)" "You okay?" "I'll be okay once I get into town." "Well, have you got someone there to take care of you?" "I've got friends." "(TRUCK APPROACHING)" "You heading into town?" "You bet." "Well, that lady could sure use a ride." "I've got room for both of you." "Hop in." "Thanks." "Come on." "You've got a ride, if you want it." "I may be stubborn, but I'm not stupid." "Thanks." "I'm David Bernard." "Carrie Taylor." "Hi." "Hi." "Okay." "Watch your step." "Thanks for the ride, appreciate it." "Me, too." "I've got it in here somewhere." "So, where are you going?" ""585 Rosemont."" "It's supposed to be somewhere up here near the hospital." "Oh, good." "That's where I'm going." "The hospital?" "Mmm-hmm." "Patient?" "Yeah." "Hope it's nothing serious." "Well, it's nothing to get worked up about." "Hey, look, I'm sorry about the way I acted back there." "Oh, come on." "No, I've been kind of grumpy lately." "Truce?" "Truce." "I'd give you the big one, but I'm eating for two." "I understand." "How does it feel?" "Believe me, it's no fun." "Well, look at it this way." "Look at all the things you have to look forward to." "Sleepless nights." "A lot of moist diapers." "Or worse." "You know, when I was a little boy," "I had a baby sister." "And even with all the problems, there were some moments that were so" "special." "I'll never forget them." "I guess that's why I sort of envy you." "Well, that sounds nice." "I don't know." "But to bring up a kid alone..." "You have any kids?" "No." "You ever been married?" "Yes." "Used to be." "Divorced." "No." "Then you're alone, too." "Sort of." "You miss her?" "Your wife?" "Yes, I do." "Very much." "I guess there is only one thing as bad as losing a wife." "That's losing a child." "Hey." "Come on." "585." "This is it." ""Matrix." This is where your friends live?" "Yeah." "(WHISTLES)" "MAN:" "Yes, who is it?" "Carrie Taylor." "I called you last week." "I know who you are." "I'll buzz you in." "Some friends." "(BUZZING)" "Hey..." "You sure you're okay?" "Thanks for helping me out." "Thanks for the apple." "Good luck at the hospital." "Good luck with your baby." "(BABIES CRYING)" "Excuse me." "Yes." "I'm looking for Dr. Rhodes." "He said I could find him here." "I think he's in the genetics lab." "Down the hallway, last door on your right." "Thank you." "Is your wife a patient of his?" "No." "I am." "RHODES:" "Okay, Tina, let me have the laser." "Good." "Okay." "Come on over." "That's it." "Steady." "Steady, Stanley." "All right, now do your thing." "Got it!" "Okay, Tina." "Throw it in the incubator and let's see what we've got." "Right away, Doctor." "Thank you." "That's some pretty fancy surgery, Doctor." "The DNA only belonged to a rat." "Well, maybe I can change all that." "I'm David Bernard." "You're here." "Yeah." "Fantastic!" "Stan Rhodes." "I was afraid you wouldn't show up." "We've got to get started right away." "The modified x-ray device that I've been incubating those cultures in is being sent to St. Louis tomorrow for re-calibration." "So, today is the day." "That's fine with me." "I haven't been able to sleep since you called me last week." "I thought it'd be years before I had a human subject to work with." "I just hope I don't disappoint you." "Impossible." "However, I got to tell you," "I can't figure out why you wanna go through with this." "Eliminating an additional adenine-thymine link in your DNA isn't really gonna do much." "I mean, yeah, there have been some hypothetical connections made between it and excessive aggression," "Mmm-hmm." "But nothing substantial." "Well, I have my reasons." "I'm sure you do." "And I respect them." "Still, what we're about to do is very dangerous, David." "Yes, I understand." "You see, this experiment hasn't been tested or approved by the AMA, this hospital, or any government agency." "Legally, I can't perform it." "So, I'm gonna have to ask you to sign a release for a more conventional type of operation." "Yes, so that you and the hospital are not held legally responsible, and that's fine." "Good." "Let me have a finger." "I just want you to realize the risk that you're taking." "Injecting a mutant cell into your brain can have harmful and even lethal side effects." "I'm willing to take my chances." "I was hoping you'd say that." "Come on." "RHODES:" "That, David, is a single strand of your DNA." "Okay." "Now, your extra adenine-thymine link is the final pair at the end." "Can you see it?" "Yes." "Yes, I can." "Okay." "Tina, please, our laser." "(MACHINE WHIRRING)" "Good." "Perfect." "All right." "Now what I'm going to do is surgically remove the link and isolate the cell that the DNA belongs to in a special medium." "Then, I'm going to bombard that cell with x-rays to stimulate its reproduction so that it becomes almost like a culture of cancer cells." "Now, David, when I inject that culture into the hypothalamus of your brain, it should then destroy those cells that have that extra adenine-thymine link and take over their function." "Thereby eliminating my potential for excess aggression." "At best, yeah." "At worst, who knows." "Okay." "Let's put this one in the bag." "Steady, Stanley." "Steady as she goes." "That's it." "That's it." "Now, watch." "Watch this one." "That's it." "That's it!" "Tina!" "Please incubate this for exactly two hours." "Yes, Doctor." "And we're going to do that injection exactly at 4:00." "Come on, I'll buy you a cup of coffee." "Tell me, Doctor, how much of your research does the hospital pay for?" "Not a cent." "And believe me, I'm up to my ears in hock." "You're kidding." "Yeah, well, they're good for some lab space now and then, but..." "You see, Blanchard is a private institution." "They can't afford charity." "And I can't get a grant." "Not yet, anyway." "Boy, it must cost you a fortune." "Well, it's worth it." "If my experiments pay off," "I'll be able to correct congenital birth defects before the baby is even born." "WOMAN: (ON P.A. SYSTEM) Dr. Rhodes to OB 410." "Dr. Rhodes to OB 410, please." "This won't take long." "Dr. Rhodes is on his way." "Please, call him for me." "(BEEPING) Dr. Rhodes." "Dr. Rhodes." "Doctor, am I glad to see you." "Wait right here, okay?" "All right." "WOMAN:" "Dr. Rhodes, I'm bleeding." "It's all right, I'm here now." "My baby." "Okay, let me have 40 milligrams of Diazepam stat." "I want my baby." "Brought her in here about 20 minutes ago." "She was calling for you, so we thought we'd bring her up here." "She one of your patients?" "Never saw her before." "She must have got my name from the ambulance attendant." "She just gave birth?" "Yeah." "What happened?" "Walking downtown, collapsed." "Nobody knows where the baby is." "I want my baby." "Please, Dr. Rhodes, help me." "Prognosis?" "Not good." "There were complications." "Internal hemorrhaging." "She's lost a lot of blood." "Oh, thanks." "You sure you wanna sedate her?" "I mean, with that kind of blood loss it could be dangerous." "What are you, just out of med school?" "WOMAN:" "My baby." "Matrix." "Matrix took my baby." "I want my baby." "DAVID:" "How is she?" "Well, we'll keep her in for observation." "She'll be all right." "What about the baby?" "You heard that?" "Yeah." "Well, I don't know what we can do." "Hopefully she'll tell us more later." "She said something about Matrix taking her baby." "Matrix." "Sounds like a discotheque." "They often say anything that comes into their mind when they're like that." "Uh-huh." "Doctor, how much time do I have before my injection?" "Okay, it's 2:30 now." "You have to be back precisely at 4:00." "You have an hour and a half." "Would you mind if we just skip the coffee and I took a walk?" "I'm a little nervous." "No." "Not at all." "Please, be back a little early, okay?" "So we can sign those release papers." "Fine." "It's a one-shot deal." "Thank you." "MAN:" "Yes, who is it?" "My name is David Bernard." "I'm looking for a friend of mine, Carrie Taylor." "What was the name?" "Carrie Taylor." "I dropped her off here this morning." "I'm sorry." "I'm afraid you have the wrong address." "I'm sorry, but I'm sure that this is it." "It's very important that I speak to her." "Carrie." "What are you doing here?" "Uh..." "This may sound like a crazy coincidence, but I..." "Well, I just saw something at the hospital that I thought you should know about." "(GASPING)" "Contraction?" "Mmm-hmm, they just started." "They're light." "It'll be a while yet." "They told me to start walking." "Just keep walking around." "You..." "You do realize that every pregnancy is different." "I mean, you could have the baby within an hour." "Now, you are going to the hospital, aren't you?" "No." "I'm having him here." "Carrie." "I don't know what's going on here." "But I do know that I was just at the hospital and I saw them bring in a girl, one they picked up on the street," "that was bleeding, delirious," "and was crying," ""Please don't take my baby away."" "I stood outside the hospital room and I heard the word "Matrix"." "Now, is that what you're going to do?" "Give your baby away?" "No." "They're helping me." "Look, I can't afford to raise a child, and they have customers who can." "Customers?" "So, money's involved." "Yes." "Don't you see?" "I'm giving it a better home." "Jerry ran out with every penny we had, and I don't have a job." "Now, what kind of a home am I gonna give it?" "This baby needs someone who can afford to bring him up right." "You're sure that this is what you really want?" "The baby will be fine." "That wasn't the question." "I don't know, David." "I don't..." "I don't know." "MAN:" "Yes, who is it?" "Rhodes." "(BUZZING)" "ELLEN:" "Hello, Stan." "Ellen, what was that girl doing out on the street?" "She should have been in bed at least a week with her complications..." "We tried, Doctor, but she got out the back gate last night." "She was delirious." "Obviously not delirious enough." "She asked for me by name in the emergency." "What did you do?" "I sedated her." "She's in a private room now until I can get back and get her out of there." "Well, Stan dear, then, there's no problem." "She could have died, Ellen." "Listen to me, Ellen." "You may not care about these girls, but I do." "I've got a good mind to back out of this whole thing." "And then where would you be?" "Where would your research be?" "I don't have to remind you how well I'm paying you for your services." "Could you continue to finance your genetics experiments without me?" "Oh, no." "Well, look." "I am sorry about the girl." "It won't happen again." "Look." "The fact that all of this is very illegal is beside the point." "I keep getting the feeling that you really wanna keep your baby." "I can't afford it." "But there are state homes and aid programs designed to help women in your situation." "All you have to do is walk out that gate." "All right, where's the next one?" "I'd like to examine her now, if I may." "She's out back." "I tried to call you." "Her contractions just started, but they're weak and sporadic." "ELLEN:" "Who is that with Carrie?" "I don't know." "He was at the front gate earlier." "Carrie?" "Will you come in for a minute, please?" "I can go to the police." "Oh, no." "Please don't do that." "I'm not sure yet." "ELLEN:" "Carrie?" "Just a second." "Please, I need time to think." "It's your decision." "But you don't have much time." "Now, I have to get to the hospital." "I may not be able to come back." "Carrie!" "I'll be okay." "(SIGHS)" "He's probably her boyfriend." "No." "No, I don't think so." "Does he know why you're here?" "No." "We met hitchhiking." "That's all." "Okay, that's about it for now." "Doctor, what's gonna happen to my baby?" "Will I get to see it?" "For a while." "It's really best for you if you don't spend too much time with it." "That way, you'll soon forget this has ever happened." "Now relax." "I'll be back in an hour to check you out." "Did you say he was a patient of yours?" "Well..." "Guinea pig, really." "I'll be experimenting on him sometime today." "How much do you know about him?" "Not much." "No family." "He has a unique genetic problem." "Doesn't it strike you as being strange that Carrie and this man called us separately at about the same time last week?" "That we don't know anything about either one of them and we just saw them talking together, out back?" "You think they're with the police?" "I think it's a possibility." "I think it's also possible they're setting us up for blackmail." "All right, Ellen, then what do we do?" "You said that you're running an experiment on him." "In about 10, 15 minutes." "Is it risky?" "Well, it's..." "It's too risky for a policeman." "But you don't know how far he is willing to go." "If he's a blackmailer, he might go all the way." "That's possible." "And you probably have some sort of a form that he has to sign, releasing you and the hospital from responsibility." "In case anything goes wrong." "Now, wait a minute, Ellen." "We just can't go around..." "We don't have a choice!" "They already know enough about the operation to convict or blackmail us." "We've got to get rid of them." "But we don't know for sure." "We can't take the chance." "You think about it, Stan." "Think about the risk." "Is it worth it?" "Think about the good your research can do." "Is it worth throwing all that away on the chance that they're not with the police?" "Is it worth going to jail?" "DAVID: "I hereby release Blanchard Metropolitan Hospital," ""its staff and Dr. Stanley Rhodes" ""from all responsibility, physical or otherwise" ""that may result from this operation." ""I fully understand the said operation" ""may have extensive adverse side effects" ""or even be fatal."" "You can back out anytime you want, you know." "No." "Absolutely not." "Miss Fargo, our notary." "Thanks for coming down." "I can't begin to tell you how uncomfortable this is." "Well, you have to stay immobile." "You don't want me to miss, do you?" "Oh, no." "No." "I forgot to ask, as a matter of fact, how the culture turned out." "Fine." "It looks just fine." "Good." "Good." "Now, how long, do you think, before I'll feel the results?" "I don't think you will feel the results." "I mean, it's something that only shows up in your DNA." "Doctor, are you sure you have the right needle?" "It seems too short to reach the hypothalamus." "Doctor?" "Please, be quiet." "The point of entry is too low." "Let me out of here!" "No, it's too late." "Just relax." "(GROANS)" "DAVID:" "The insertion's in the wrong direction." "I know that, David." "These aren't the cells." "This is morphine sulphite." "Enough to kill you." "Why?" "Because you and the girl were trying to set us up." "Now, I don't know if you're with the police or you're trying to blackmail us, but Matrix and I just can't afford it." "No!" "Hell, you don't..." "No sense in struggling." "Just relax."
