"What is going on here?" "Tell us, Mr. Ross." "I need a workforce." "Only the best for the slaves of Isaac Whittier Ross."

"(HULK ROARS)" "NARRATOR:" "Dr:" "David Banner, physician, scientist." "Searching for a way to tap int0 the hidden strengths that all humans have."

"I'm all right." "Can you fix it?" "I don't know." "I'll try." "Well, you really did it, didn't you?" "Yeah." "(GRUNTS)" "Oh." "Well, that's fine." "That's really great." "Yeah." "You lost all your water." "Yeah, it looks like the, uh, fan cut right through your water hose." "You're gonna have to get a new one." "(sighing) Oh." "Well, you know of any parts stores around here?" "Uh, no, not one." "Hmm." "How'd it happen?" "Oh, just a dumb prairie dog sitting there, right there, in the middle of the road." "I tried not to hit him, look where it gets me." "It's not even my car." "Maybe you ought to sit down and rest for a second." "Map says, there's not a town within 30 miles from here." "Well, you coming?" "Hmm." "Name's David." "Oh." "(groaning)" "(sighs)" "(groaning)" "Name's Christy." "So, uh, what were you doing walking out there in the middle of nowhere, anyway?" "Well, my ride dropped me off at the crossroads." "I just started walking." "And evidently, I picked the wrong road." "(clicking his TONGUE)" "Hmm, yeah." "You and me both." "(sighs)" "(CAR approaching) lt's about time." "I guess." "Hi." "You folks look like you could use a ride somewhere." "Climb on up here." "Thank you." "Okay." "You all set?" "Isaac:" "Yeah." "I think I can get you that new hose you're looking for." "I got all kinds of stuff like that." "(Isaac CHUCKLES)" "Yeah, old Isaac can get it." "Don't you worry about it." "Now, that's just an awful nice car you got there, missy." "Too bad you had to go and bust it up." "Yeah, but never mind about that, 'cause old Isaac gonna get you a new hose, and y'all gonna be back on the road again in no time." "That's just great." "Uh, just how far is this town of yours?" "Well, missy, if you keep your eyes peeled, I think you're gonna see it just around the next bend here." "(singing) Tr0uble in mind Am I blue" "But I w0n't be blue always" "'Cause that ol' sun g0nna shine 0n my back d00r 0ne day" "Isaac:" "There we are." "christy:" "There isn't anybody here." "Yeah, that's right, missy." "Nobody here except ol' Isaac." "You mean you live out here all alone?" "Yeah, folks say ol' Isaac's crazier than a loon." "Yeah, but this here is home to me." "My grandpa's land." "Yeah?" "Well, I couldn't stand it." "Grew up in Houston." "Just give me the city any day." "Well, it's not for everybody, but I likes it like that." "Yeah." "Well, what about the hose?" "Oh, yes'm, yes'm." "I got it." "Yeah." "Now, you wait here by the truck, and me and your boyfriend, we'll go and get it, okay?" "He ain't my boyfriend." "Well, whatever, missy." "I got all the stuff you need somewhere around here." "Come on." "(muttering)" "Right in there." "Ouch." "Oh, my." "(GASPS)" "Well, Studebaker, DeSoto." "You really have a mixed bag of parts here, don't you, Isaac?" "Oh, yeah." "Ol' Isaac got everything you need." "Everything you don't, too."

"(chuckling)" "I'd also like to apologize for the bump on your head, David." "But don't you worry." "It won't happen again, because, uh, I'm gonna take very good care of you." "Very good care of you." "As it should be." "Only the best for the slaves of Isaac Whittier Ross." "A minor wound, David." "Uh-huh." "Mmm-hmm." "It'll be sore for a while." "This man can work." "Work?" "What are you talking about?" "You just hit him on the head." "Shut up." "Better do what he says." "The hell I will." "I'm getting out of here." "I don't think so, lady." "I don't think anybody is getting out of here." "What do you want with us?" "You gotta call him Mr. Ross." "A name given my family by a slave owner almost 200 years ago." "I like to keep it as a reminder." "That's right." "You gotta call him Mr. Ross." "Oh, man." "What is going on here?" "Tell us, Mr. Ross." "Very simply." "I need a workforce." "The only problem is I don't have the cash to pay for one." "(laughing) We're not slaves." "Hey." "An American tradition." "Now, according to my grandfather's map, we are sitting on what is probably the richest vein of gold in this state, and I intend to find it." "Why us..." "Mr. Ross?" "Why not?" "You were unlucky enough to break down here." "Just like Marty and Harry did before you." "Right, Marty?" "Harry?" "He was here before you, man." "So, in return for your labor, I will provide you with food and shelter." "I will take care of you." "I don't need anybody taking care of me, thank you." "Forget it." "Nobody tells me I'm a slave." "This is America." "Exactly, dear lady." "Put them to work." "Uh, Mr. Ross..." "How long?" "Well, it won't be 200 years, David." "Just until we've found the gold." "Maybe a year, maybe less, if we're lucky." "All right, you heard him, sweat time." "You men get yourself a couple of picks." "Marty'll show you where." "Don't you hear well?" "Honey, you can load." "Just pick up the chunks of rock they bring out and put in that cart." "Put 'em in there yourself, shrimp." "I'm not in the mood." "Oh." "Now, you looky here, honey." "We better come to an understanding right quick, or I could make it real ugly for you down here." "You know what I'm saying?" "The only thing ugly down here is you." "I can grow on you, honey." "(CHRlSTY GRUMBLES)" ""Slave."" "David Becker." "Marty Gibbs." "Uh, hang on a second, I wanna ask you something." "Gotta work..." "No, no, wait." "Please." "Roy won't like it." "I just want to ask you something." "Gotta work." "We put in our time," "Mr. Ross is gonna let us go." "Now, don't bet on that." "Who are these people?" "I don't ask questions." "Mr. Ross don't like it." "Well, I don't like it either." "Look, when I was sitting next to that shaft, the one that's boarded up, I could feel a breeze coming through it." "is that any possible means of escape?" "Harry tried." "Forget it." "But what happened to him?" "He..." "Harry." "What happened to Harry?" "Harry was my brother." "He was five years older than me." "We had a truck." "Eighteen wheeler." "Broke down, just like you." "Harry was always trying to figure a way for us to get out of here." "That passageway you was talking about?" "Yeah?" "Well, it wasn't boarded up before." "Harry, he..." "He tried to crawl through it." "He fell down a vent and died." "Aw, look, man." "We're all gonna be dead before we find any gold." "Just like Harry." "You better eat something." "I wouldn't feed this stuff to a dog." "Well, you're not helping yourself any." "If you really wanna get out of here, you have to keep up your strength." "I don't plan on staying here long enough to starve." "Remember I told you that wasn't my car?" "Well, it belongs to this guy in LA, a real big shot in the record business." "Mmm-hmm:" "If I told you his name, you'd just die." "Well, see, I met him when I was looking for a job, and one thing just kind of led to another, till I found myself in Vegas about to get married." "Everything was going real fine until, uh, the other night the phone rang in the hotel and it was his wife calling." "Oh." "Mmm-hmm." "So I took his wheels and split." "And I got a funny feeling he's gonna want them back." "Yeah." "Well, one way or another, we're gonna get out of here." "And that Mr. Ross is gonna be in a lot of trouble." "Just as soon as Jack finds his car." "Mmm-hmm." "Roy took care of that hours ago." "Now, is there anything else I can do" "These, uh, clothes may not fit you exactly like your own, but, uh, I assure you that you're gonna find them functional." "Real functional." "Somebody's gonna find us." "You can't just hide a whole town." "No, no." "But I can hide you in the mine." "Out of sight, out of sound." "And me?" "Well, me, I'm just poor ol' Isaac, here." "Just tetched in the head, huh?" "(laughing)" "Mmm-hmm." "Well, go ahead, eat." "I used to be a pretty fair cook." "That's right. 200 men, three times a day." "(chuckling)" "You better get used to it, dear lady." "She'll learn." "They all will." "(chuckling)" "Gold, gold." "We've found the vein!" "Gold, Roy!" "Gold!" "The gold, Roy, the gold!" "(laughing)" "Gold!" "(laughing)" "Gold, gold!" "Gold!" "ROY:" "Gold, gold!" "It's gold, it's gold!" "(piano playing)" "What's the matter with you all?" "I've seen happier folks at funerals." "And they'd be the dead ones." "Hey, honey." "Hey, you're looking at a rich man." "Don't I look a little better to you now?" "(DOOR OPENS)" "Christy." "Christy." "I want you to eat." "Look, I made you something special, hmm?" "Good." "Very good." "Hey." "Hey, I... I brought you a few things." "I thought you might like 'em." "You can..." "You can fix yourself up." "Hmm?" "I'm going back to the mine." "Isaac, have a good time." "What happens to us now?" "Who cares?" "Aw, ain't that touching?" "Aw." "Yeah." "Hey!" "Let's liven things up a little." "Have a party." "Come on." "Let's dance, baby." "Come on." "Dance." "Roy, let her go." "You two guys shut up and sit down." "I'm gonna tell Mr. Ross." "He wouldn't like this." "Sit down." "Roy..." "Oh, you guys are troublemakers." "Wanna act like tough guys, huh?" "All right." "If that's what you want, it's all right with me." "We'll see how tough you guys are." "Get up there on that stage." "Come on." "Get up on the stage." "And you two fight." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Roy, take it easy." "Oh, I'll take it easy." "You don't know what you're doing." "I ain't gonna fight." "Mr. Ross wouldn't like this." "Oh, the hell with him." "Harry would have." "No." "Oh, yes, Harry would have." "No." "He wasn't no sniveling, bootlicking geek like you." "No!" "Harry, are you sure he was your brother?" "No!" "Harry was a real man." "No!" "Marty, no." "Hey, Harry!" "Hey, all right!" "Take him out!" "Marty, don't do this." "ROY:" "Come on, let's have it!" "Harry!" "Fight, fight!" "Harry, Harry, Harry!" "All right, take him out!" "Marty, Marty..." "Oh, hey, hey!" "(HULK GROWLS)" "(GROWLlNG)" "MARTY:" "Let's get out of here." "(GRUNTS)" "Far enough." "There's no underground railroad here, my friends." "Eh, looks like the overseer needs an overseer." "Did you see it, that green thing?" "Now, be quiet." "I will not tolerate drunkenness around here, you hear?" "Now, you take them back to the mine." "This green thing destroyed the whole saloon." "Ripped everything apart." "Take them back to the mine." "And where's David?" "Huh?" "He must have got away." "I'll find him." "Why didn't you say something?" "You saw it, too." "The only thing I saw was you, running like a bat out of hell." "(GROANS)" "(GRUNTS)" "Let's go, David." "Let's go." "Now." "Isaac:" "I don't understand this." "Why?" "Why would you try to get away?" "I take care of you, I feed you." "This is nothing but a game to you, Mr. Ross." "What are you talking about?" "This isn't a game." "Oh, excuse me." "I'm sorry." "Please forgive me." "You're not a slave owner." "And Roy here is not an overseer." "I ain't nobody's overseer." "Yeah, you already proved that." "Look here, I was born in a society that gave me the illusion of freedom." "But I'm still black, still in chains, just as sure as my grandfather was." "Isn't that right, Marty?" "Yeah, right." "You didn't say, "Mr. Ross."" "Back in prison, we used to call him "boy."" "You're pushing your luck, Darnell." "Really pushing it." "That ought to hold you." "Marty, hand me that pick." "What are you doing?" "Getting out of here." "So am I." "Well, Harry would have tried, too." "(guitar playing)" "I want to talk to you." "What about?" "What we're here for." "The gold." "Come on, man, we found it." "Let's make a deal with the mining company." "Bring in the heavy equipment." "No, we'll go on like we have." "What?" "Two men with pickaxes and a girl?" "It's the safest way." "Do you know how long it would take them to mine out that vein?" "You gotta be kidding." "We had a deal, Ross." "Once we made the strike, I'd go to a mining company for credit, for heavy-duty drills and some workers." "We will get more workers the same way we got these." "It's dangerous to bring in outsiders now." "What's the matter with you?" "You know, that Becker guy's right." "All you want to do is to play your games." "Come on." "Spit it out, Roy." "You like being "massa" to a bunch of slaves." "It makes you feel real good." "That's what it's all about, right?" "Just like in prison, when you was the big man." "All those boys looking up to you." "For the first time in your life, all that book learning... I am what I am, Roy, and so are you." "Yeah?" "If it wasn't for me, you'd still be rotting away on that Louisiana chain gang, and that makes us partners." "So I say we do things right." "I didn't bust you out of there for nothing!" "All right." "So what do you plan to do with those three then, huh?" "I'll take care of them tomorrow." "I've got something specially planned." "No." "You getting squeamish?" "Seems to me that's how you got life, killing someone." "That guard was out to kill me." "There's a difference." "He's still dead." "And what about Harry?" "When he took that flyer, you went nuts." "You can't take it, Isaac." "You want to play this game, man, you need it." "Harry was a valuable man." "Mmm-hmm." "But he tried to escape." "He put himself in that hole." "I respect that." "I can understand that." "You wouldn't." "All I respect is that gold." "And I want it just as fast as I can get it, and that's where it's at, man!" "Or are you so wrapped up in your games that you forgot that's what we come here for!" "Now, you will do exactly as I say, and you will not question it." "We will go on as before." "You forget, Isaac, I own the land now." "You're just an escaped con." "We deeded the land to me." "I quit my job, remember?" "You own the land in name because I'm a convict." "But don't you go getting the idea that you can run this thing yourself, because you can't." "Why not?" "Because without me telling you what to do every minute of the day, you'd screw up everything, just like today." "You are nothing." "Remember that." "Nothing without me." "Now, you get out of my face, boy!" "(GRUNTlNG)" "Once again." "Ready?" "All right." "Go!" "Someone's coming." "Someone's coming." "...thinking he can make a fool out of me." "What's going on here?" "Why ain't you sleeping?" "You folks think you're pretty smart, don't you, huh?" "About as smart as Harry." "Back in prison, we knew how to take care of smart alecks like you." "Didn't take no guff from anybody." "Not when I was a guard, I didn't." "No, they jumped when I snapped." "Even ol' Isaac shuffled." "Thinks he's a big man now, a real big man." "Yeah, he wasn't so big when he needed me to bust him loose." "Couldn't have done it without me." "Isaac giving you a rough time?" "Yeah, yeah..." "But that..." "That's all gonna change." "I... I got me some plans." "What kind of plans, Mr. Darnell?" "(MOCK LAUGHTER)" "Come tomorrow, this whole place is gonna be one big rock pile." "Well, what about the gold?" "Oh, it'll still be here." "We'll just bring in some heavy equipment and get it out." "And what happens to us?" "Why..." "Why, honey." "You're gonna stay right here." "(ROY laughing)" "MARTY:" "Come on, give it to me!" "david:" "Roy has dynamite, Isaac." "(laughing)" "You know, I used to lay in my bunk at night in prison just thinking, just wondering what it was gonna be like when I found this." "The freedom it was gonna give me..." "No, Isaac, that's not freedom." "That's another kind of slavery." "No." "No, this gold means being able to have the choice to live my own life the way I want to." "That's very good for you." "We don't have that choice." "And if you don't stop him, you won't have any either." "Isaac:" "Ah, you shouldn't believe everything Roy says." "He's all mouth." "Oh, hiya, Isaac." "Oh, I mean, uh, Mr. Isaac." "Isaac:" "You're late." "Oh, well, excuse me, but I was up kind of late last night with your slaves here." "Seems like they were getting a bit uppity." "Tried to bust out again." "But don't you worry your shiny little head none." "'Cause I fixed things." "Oh, yeah, I fixed 'em real good." "You get out of here." "You're in no condition to work." "Oh, I don't work." "I's the overseer." "You get up to your room." "Sleep it off." "There you go, telling me what to do again." "I don't got to take this." "No, why should you?" "After all, you're partners, you're equal." "That's enough out of you, David." "Now, you do as I say." "You get up to your room and sleep it off." "You're no good drunk." "You're not much better sober." "Yeah, I'll sleep it off, all right." "We'll all sleep it off." "Sweet dreams." "(ROY laughing)" "So you're sure he's not making a fool of you, hmm?" "I told you not to worry about it." "We used all the dynamite when we opened up this shaft, here." "Isaac:" "Now, don't mess with me." "I'm worried." "He said he was gonna blow us all up." "Roy is a drinker, Marty." "He talks a lot." "Look, it won't hurt to just check it out." "We're gonna be here anyway." "I think you should go, Mr. Ross." "Roy's a coward." "He'll always do as I say." "You're sure you can believe that?" "If you're right..." "Well, then the game is over." "All right, come on." "We have no time to waste." "Hey!" "No, no!" "(laughing)" "What's wrong, Mr. Ross?" "ROY:" "Come and get it." "(ROY laughing)" "ROY:" "Go get it, Isaac." "ROY:" "Come on." "Put that down." "Isaac:" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Catch!" "Come on, give me a hand!" "This whole thing's gonna go." "We gotta get out of here!" "Now!" "Come on!" "David!" "Look, he's dead." "They're both dead." "David!" "David!" "David?" "David!" "David!" "(SCREAMS)" "Let's go." "Come on." "(GROWLS)" "(HULK ROARS)" "(ROARS)" "(HULK ROARS)" "(ROY GROANS)" "That ought to do it." "We'll take 'em to the Sheriff's station." "(sighs)" "Maybe he just took off, you know?" "No, see, David wouldn't do that." "He'd stay and help us, like he stayed in the mine." "And that's why he's dead." "Come on." "If it wasn't for you and your games, we wouldn't be in this fix." "We'd be rich." "Instead, we're going to prison." "Well, the price of arrogance." "(sighing)" "Feels good to be in a truck again." "Guess I ought to start looking for a new partner." "What about you?" "I'm going home." "Yeah."
