"The creature is wanted f0r a murder he didn't c0mmit." "David Banner is believed t0 be dead." "And he must let the w0rld think that he is dead until he can find a way t0 c0ntr0l the raging spirit that dwells within him." "(ROARS)" "(sighs)" "GEORGE:" "What's wr0ng with the life we live?"

"Here, here." "I'll do it for you." "Atta boy." "What's your name?" "Ah, Buddy!" "No, no, no, not the bone, not that." "(GLASS shattering)" "(DOG barking)" "Anybody here?" "Hello?" "Huh." "Hold it!" "Turn around." "Slow." "What are you doing here?" "I, uh... I came here for a job interview with Dere Laboratories." "Sure." "And how did you get past the roadblocks?" "Roadblocks?" "They set them up when they evacuated the town this morning." "You already work for Dere." "(helicopter WHlRRlNG)" "Get over here." "Let's go." "Easy." "Slow." "Keep going." "Against the wall." "Why is the town evacuated?" "I'm sure Mr. Cunningham has already explained all that to you." "I don't know any Cunningham." "Right." "And, of course, you don't know about..." "What'd Cunningham call it?" ""A minor problem."" "A little chlorine leak over at Dere." "is that why the town was evacuated?" "There's been nothing to indicate any kind of chlorine contamination." "No evidence." "Stop it!" "Look, we both know that it wasn't chlorine." "It was Bacteria E. Coli." "E. Coli?" "is Dere Laboratories doing research on recombinant DNA?" "That must come as a great shock to you." "You're sure that it's E. Coli?" "You're sure that E. Coli was released?" "Yes." "And I'm gonna prove it." "And you're coming with me." "Let's go." "That way." "Here we are." "There never was a roadblock that could stop her." "Oh, Rita, you had some good ideas in your time, but this one beats all." "Our own free shopping mall." "rita:" "How long do you think we have?" "MARK:" "Well, they finished evacuating about an hour ago." "By the time they're organized, we got about an hour before they get the guards in here." "Uh, listen, you guys." "What if it's like they said?" "What if that chlorine they leaked is really dangerous?" "The voice of doom." "Tom, you heard the news." "The amount that leaked is practically harmless." "They only evacuated everybody to be on the safe side." "A one part per million is nothing, man, believe me." "I took a chemistry course at City College." "Which you flunked." "Come on, let's get shopping." "Move to the car." "Look, I'm not with this Cunningham." "I mean if I was, I'd know about the leak, wouldn't I?" "And if I knew about the leak, would I come into town without protective clothing?" "Will you just let me show you?" "I have..." "I have a letter here, from Dere Laboratories, giving me the job interview." "Slow." "I'm sorry." "Cunningham would do anything to keep the truth from getting out." "Why aren't you wearing protective gear?" "I'm staying here just long enough to get the papers I need, and then run to the nearest hospital." "What papers?" "The progress reports on Dere's DNA experiments." "But I didn't know they had the facilities for conducting genetic research." "They don't." "At least not the proper ones." "It would cost a few million dollars for them to fulfill the federal safety standards." "Cunningham paid a couple of inspectors to look the other way." "Cunningham's in charge of the program?" "The board in New York doesn't even know about it." "He had this dream of walking into corporate headquarters and saying," ""Surprise, look what I did," and then laying some big-buck discovery at their feet." "is he seriously working with E. Coli?" "It's a new strain." "It's called R-6." "It's like the K-1 2, in that it has a lifespan of 48 hours." "K-1 2 was harmless." "It's too bad you missed your job interview." "You really know your stuff." "Life expectancy is all the two strains have in common." "R-6 is deadly if ingested." "Or transmitted through the lungs." "We have to get to a hospital right now." "No!" "I have to prove Cunningham's negligence." "Now, the papers are in his office and I'm not leaving until I get them." "Without treatment, you could die." "I'll make it!" "There's a chance that you won't." "The bacteria only lives 48 hours outside a host." "After that, there won't be any way to prove that this ever happened." "No, wait a minute, wait a minute." "is there an infirmary at the plant?" "Yes, why?" "There's every chance they'll have some BBK9 which is an antibiotic and it will kill the E. Coli." "If they don't have that, they'll have Gentamicin." "At least that will ease the effects and give us more time!" "(BUDDY WHlMPERlNG)" "is that your dog?" "He ate some food in the park." "Careful, guys." "Don't scratch the merchandise." "You know, I'm getting hungry." "Yeah." "Come on, we haven't got time." "Let's get this stuff loaded and get out of here." "(engine STARTS)" "MAN ON RADIO.:" ":that might be true:" "But, Mr. Cunningham, wouldn't you call a chl0rine leak a maj0r catastr0phe?" "CUNNINGHAM.:" "N0:" "N0t in this case, just a maj0r inc0nvenience." "And by the way, Dere Lab accepts full resp0nsibility f0r any financial hardships suffered during the mishap." "MAN.:" "When do you think pe0ple will be able t0 return t0 the area?" "He thinks he can buy off the whole town like he did the inspectors, and like he tried with me." "You work for Dere Laboratories?" "For Cunningham." "By the way, I'm Patty Knowlton." "David Bradshaw." "(tires screeching)" "(PATTY GRUNTS)" "Hi." "What are you doing here?" "What do you think we're doing here?" "The same thing you and your friend are doing here." "Unfortunately, me and my friends got here first." "This food is contaminated." "All that spilled was a little chlorine." "A little chlorine never hurt anybody, right, Mark?" "Hey, man, that amount of gas wouldn't harm a bug." "You'd get more than that walking by a swimming pool." "They lied. lt was not chlorine they leaked, it was R-6." "Bacteria." "I knew it. I knew it." "I said all along this was a lousy idea." "Shut up." "She's just trying to scare us." "david:" "I'm trying to tell you that you're all in extreme danger." "By ingesting that bacteria, you're speeding up a process that makes it lethal." "Now you all could be dead within an hour." "We've got to get you to a hospital." "If all that's true, how come you guys are here?" "(david GRUNTS)" "(PATTY SCREAMS)" "(PATTY SCREAMS)" "Hold her!" "Hold her!" "(ROARS)" "(HULK roaring)" "(SCREAMS)" "(engine sputtering)" "(engine revving)" "Hey, stop, please!" "(roaring)" "(ROARS)" "(WHlMPERlNG)" "David, are you all right?" "Yeah." "Did you see that?" "See what?" "The creature." "That green thing." "It came out of nowhere and it went after those looters." "Huh." "Did it hurt anyone?" "Uh-uh." "They all got away." "Boy, there's no telling how many people they could infect." "We don't have much time, do we?" "No." "No, we don't." "(PATTY sighs)" "Oh, I feel like I'm I'm getting the flu." "Except it's not the flu, is it?" "No, it's not." "Come on, we have to hurry." "Atta boy." "(BUDDY WHlMPERlNG)" "Cunningham hired me right out of college." "I had an MA in business administration." "He promised me I could climb the corporate ladder right to the top." "I got as far as his outside office." "I was such a good girl." "Never complained, never rocked the boat." "Oh, I bet that didn't last." "Not when I found out what he was up to." "Cunningham told me he liked my spirit." "He offered to make me an executive assistant." "Hmm." "Hey, hey!" "Well, there's nothing we can do." "(groaning)" "(coughing)" "Help me, please." "All right, we've got to take him with us." "The Gentamicin might help." "The rash." "He still has a chance and so have we." "Come on." "Damn, it's quiet." "Yeah, no welcoming committee, huh, Mr. Cunningham?" "All right, let's get started." "The infirmary's just inside." "What's the matter?" "They're cramps." "They're bad." "I'll be all right." "Come on." "Come on." "Can you make it?" "(WHlMPERlNG)" "PATTY:" "Okay." "Don't leave anything that could be biopsied." "The EPA's sure to find traces of the bacteria." "Well, R-6 has a life of 48 hours." "By the time their federal team gets here, picks up any specimens that are left and gets them back to the lab, there won't be any R-6 to find." "They're gonna be looking for chlorine, anyway." "We spread enough of that stuff around to explain any rodent or bird that we've overlooked." "is it there, that antibiotic?" "No." "No BBK9." "David." "Yeah." "All right." "There's Gentamicin." "It's not a cure, but it may give us some time." "How long?" "An hour." "Maybe less." "(sighs)" "All right, let's get them out of here and put them in the back of the van." "I'm sorry, David." "What did you do now?" "For being so suspicious of you." "That's understandable." "All right, tighten it up." "It's just so hard for me to trust." "You just rest for a moment, Patty." "(sighs)" "No, I'm all right." "Fine, I'm great." "Hey, hey, hey, it doesn't work that fast." "I've got to get those papers out of Cunningham's safe." "It'll just take a second." "You don't give up, do you?" "I'll be down the hall if you need me." "All right." "Blood." "Must have been somebody else in there with them." "We'd better get down to the lab." "Yeah." "(sighs in relief)" "(breathing heavily)" "Hey, hey, hey." "All right now, just sit down." "Just sit down for a bit." "All right?" "Now, just take it easy." "(LOCK clicks)" "We made it, David." "Okay, not quite." "Come on." "Patty." "What are you and your friends doing here?" "Those papers wouldn't happen to belong to me, would they?" "Now look, Patty, I can see you're not feeling very well." "Now, why don't you just give me those papers and we'll get you all to a hospital." "Easy." "Easy."
