"Sub was improved by AAF93..." "Tnx to Aorion :-)" "Ever since I was 3, I wanted to play quarterback for the New York Giants, like my personal hero, Eli Manning." "Annual salary is between 10 and 20 million dollars a year." "Thank you." "Next up..." "Reed?" "Mr. Richards." "Earth to Richards." "Beam me up, Scotty." " Okay, come on guys." " Oh, sorry." "...." "When I grow up," "I want to be the first person in human history to teleport himself." "I'm sorry, what?" "It's already possible to transport quantum information from one location to another." "Right now, there are supercomputers that can transport quantum information through space, so why not a machine that can send people through space?" "Well, even if you could build the thing, which you can't." "I've already built it." "Well, I'm building it." "In my garage." "Is it next to your flying car?" "I'm not working on that anymore." "Just this now." " I call it, The Biomatter Shuttle." " Biomatter..." "Technically, I'm shuttling matter from one place to another." "Well." "First, matter." "But once I test on biological materials, I can..." "Alright." "Well. thank you, Mr. Richards," "This is all very interesting, but the assignment was to pick a real career in the real world." "Redo the report and I'll let you try again tomorrow." "Ben?" "...." "The girl is living with me, so what're you going to do about it.?" "What was that?" " Hey, where you going?" " I got homework." "What?" "Look at that fridge pile." " Idiot." " What'd you say?" "Hey!" "Clobberin' time." " Ow!" " Come here." "What'd you think?" "You think you can talk to me like that?" "Huh!" "You think you can talk to me like that?" " Punk, I ought to beat..." " What the hell's the matter with you?" " Shit." " Huh?" "Huh?" " Aw." " Ma." " I didn't do nothing." " Huh, huh?" " Ma, I swear to god." " You didn't do nothing." "Go check on that fuss." "You didn't do nothing?" "I watched you." "What's the matter with you?" "How many times do I have to tell you," " you don't hit a kid." " Ma, please." "Hey!" "Hello?" "Who's in there?" "Please don't kill me." "Take that off." "I know you, from school." "I'm just looking for a power converter." "I'm building something." " Ben!" "What's going on out there?" " Hold on!" "That teleporting thing?" "I can show it to you." "I just need the converter." "All right." "Come on, throw the ball!" "Throw the ball." "Throw the ball." "Dwlight is open, throw the ball!" " That it?" " Yeah." "Help..." "me." "Here you go." "Your family owns a junkyard?" "Mm-hm." "That place is awesome." "Here, you're stripping the head." "So." "Who else lives here?" "Just my mom and stepdad." "They don't care about all this?" "They don't understand it." "You might want to cover your ears." "Stand back a little." "What the hell?" "Damn it." "It's alright." "Alright, alright, play on." "Don't blow up." "Don't blow up." "Come on, man!" "The guy's open!" "Whoa!" "Reed, what did you do?" "Now!" "Reed!" "Did it work?" "Where the rocks come from?" "From the same place the car went to." "Where is that?" "I don't know yet." "Reed." "What?" "You're insane." "Thanks." "...." "Mr. Richards." "Shall I alert the fire department?" "What is this?" "Uh, this is a Cymatic Matter Shuttle." "Uh, me and my associate, Ben, have been working on it every day since fifth grade when we launched the beta version in my garage." "And today is our first public demonstration." "What does it do?" "It modulates the frequency of matter from one location to another and back again." " It's a teleporter." " A teleporter." "Model car, please." "The model..." "the model car, please, Ben." " I don't have the model car." " Why don't you have the model car?" " I thought I brought everything." " I specifically said." "What?" "Mr. Richards?" "Okay, I will use this model plane." "Hey, I just need to use this for... one second, but I'll give it back." "I promise, thanks." "Here we go." "Ben." "Please." "You may want to cover your ears." " Great." "Now Ben, bring it on back." " Yeah." " Oh, keep them covered." " All right, come on." "Come on." "Don't do this." " Aw!" " Whoa." "Oh!" "Okay." "Now if I can have your attention please." "What you're looking at, is sand presumably from the Gansu desert in China," " or perhaps even from the Sahara." " You're disqualified." " We're not entirely sure." " Mr. Richards." " Yeah?" " You're disqualified." "Wait, what?" "This is a science fair not a magic competition." "I don't see any real science here." "And you're paying for the backboard." " Did you put in the sensors?" " Everything is the same." "I know, but your smashing the buttons." "It's delicate, you can't smash it." "Hey, kid, I'm really sorry about your plane." "You're a dick." " You cranked it up too high." " I didn't crank it up too high." "It's on the same settings as the first time." "It's very..." "I know it's very precise." " Excuse me, but, could I..." " Just pack it up." "Yeah?" "Did you really build this in your garage?" "Mm-hm." "Now this is elegant." "What are these?" "Um, sonic projectors using cymatics to modulate the fuel." "That's why we can't bring the matter back from the other dimension." "Uh, what?" "We've gone so far as to send matter to another dimension but we haven't been able to maintain the fuel long enough to bring that matter back." "You just did." "Oh, you're serious?" "I think you've cracked inter-dimensional travel." "Ah, I mean, we're not... we're not sending anything to another dimension, we send something, we think, to another part of the planet but, I don't know about another dimension." "We found the same thing you did." "We've had it analyzed repeatedly, but no one's ever seen anything like it." "Oh wow." "I'm sorry, we're from the Baxter Foundation." "This is my daughter, Sue." " Hi." " Hey." "We like to give you a full scholarship." "Uh, where did you say you were from again?" "Hey." "They could put the whole neighborhood in there." " What's your name?" " Uh, Reed." "Richards!" "Yes, of course, we've been expecting you." "They actually wear lab coats here." "This is you, sir." " Here." " What?" "What is this?" "It's a going away present." "I'm not going away, I'm, like, a 40 minute train ride from Oyster Bay." "Reed, look at this place." "You belong here, I've been here 2 minutes and I already know that." "I'm just going to school here, it's where I'm going to be working." "It looks like you're home, buddy." "Baxter researcher proves existence of dark matter" "Baxter Institute develops first Quad Series Super Microchip" "Hey." "This place is pretty incredible, they have molecular chem books from the 1950s." "Oh, hey." "Sorry, did you say something?" "Yeah, I was just asking, uh..." "what are you listening to?" "Portishead." " Never heard of him." " Them." "I'll have to check them out." "I love this book." "It's about this guy, Captain Nemo, he invents a submarine that goes deeper than anything in history." "Yeah, I know." "I read it." "So you like music?" "Is that, kinda like, your thing?" " Pattern recognition." " Pattern recognition?" "Music is just a series of altered patterns." "The musician creates the pattern and makes us anticipate a resolution and holds back, makes you wait for it." "There's patterns in everything and everyone." "Hmm." "What's mine?" "You want to be famous." "Your parents, teachers, all told you one thing, one way to be, and" " you ignored them." " And now I'm here." "So you are." "Am I that predictable?" "Everybody is." "Well, you're wrong, I don't want to be famous." "I just want my work to make a difference." "Well here you are, Captain Nemo." "Go for it." "Bye." "Let me guess, some kid from the internet." "Science fair." "Franklin, this board has invested a great deal in your little orphanage." " We need real world applications." " This has real world applications." " I truly believe that there is an entirely..." "An entirely new universe just beyond our ability to see." "Yes, I read your paper." " Once we get there" " If we get there." "We'll be able to discover new resources, energy sources, which will revitalize our own." "This is our chance to learn more about our planet and maybe even save it." " And I'm sure you all would agree that even if such a..." " Wait, what is this?" " ( Victor Von Doom )" "Victor Von Doom is on here." "He started this project and devoted a decade of his life to it." " He deserves to be in jail." " He deserves another chance." "He set fire to your data servers before he left." "I'm going to personally supervise him." "I need his talent." "I believe he and Reed can finally get us there." "We want to support you Franklin, but you put a lot of faith in these kids." "I put all my faith in them." "So someone stole my design." "No one stole anything, Victor." "Someone else figured out your idea and made it worked." "That's what happens when you drop out of the world." "Other people finish what you started." "Well, if you came to ask for help, it'd be better you didn't insult both of us and turned back around." "Don't you want to even look at the designs?" "I told you I'm done working for you and your employers." "They're not my employers." "You can't do a thing without their permission, yes?" "Wake up, you're an employee." "They'll stay out of my way this time, trust me." "Uh." "It's not you I don't trust." "Yeah." "Well." "I hate to interfere with all your important work." "Guess we'll just have to make history without you." "Is Sue going to be there?" "I trust her." "Yes Victor, she'll be there." "Clean yourself up, son." "Holy shit." "Amazing." "Oh." "Thanks." "Amazing you didn't black out the entire western hemisphere." "Hmm?" "You basically ripped a hole in the fabric of space-time with unspec'd components and no supervision." "Yeah, that was..." "an accident." "And if by accident you upped the power you would have created a run-away reaction that opened a black hole and swallowed the entire planet." "Well, I'm glad that didn't happen." "Are you helping on this?" "I'm making the environment suits." "Based on the soil samples from our experiments, anyone who goes to the other dimension is going to need to be protected." "Who's that?" "Victor." "Who's Victor?" "He started this whole project." "Oh." "Does he go here too?" "It's complicated." "Rudimentary." "Elementary." "It's basically a child's drawing." "You know what Albert Einstein said." "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." "10 years searching for something that is basically runner-up for a baking soda volcano." "We were actually disqualified." "The potato clock got second." "Reed Richards, Victor Von Doom." "Victor started the Quantum Gate project when he was younger than you." "Well, it's great to meet you." " Hi Susan." " Hey Victor." " Do you prefer Susan?" " No." "It's been awhile." "I didn't expect to see you back here." "Yeah, well I couldn't resist." "When I heard about the design I needed to see it with my own eyes." " I gotta say it's pretty impressive..." " Thank you." "That you nearly destroyed an entire planet with speaker cable and aluminum foil." " Yeah, that was an accident." " He did get it to work." "What is this?" "This is where your little, uh, accident leads to." "We put a camera on a drone we sent over there, the drone didn't come back but those images did." "Wow." "It's beautiful." "Yes it is." "New energy, resources." "It's a whole new world." "Which can help save this one." "Not that it deserves to be saved." "I mean think about, the people running the earth are the same ones running it into the ground so maybe it deserves what it's got coming to it." "Like Dr. Doom over here." "The failures of my generation are the opportunities for yours." "There are no greater minds than the ones in this room." " Is he going to give a speech?" " He's going to give a speech." "But you're going to have to all come together." "Each of you working together with a level of commitment and collaboration, putting aside petty squabbles, if you want to fix what my generation broke." "If you can do that, work together, then you can change the course of history." "That's a pretty good speech." "I'm in." "Me too." "I'm here, right?" "First, design." "We figure out what went wrong and correct it." "Then we build, then we send organic matter over there." "But more importantly, we bring it back." "And then, most importantly, they send us." "Us?" ""Us" us?" "We're going over there?" "Not unless you get to work." "So get to work." "Johnny Storm." "So that's the piece of shit Toyota you been talking about." "Well, yes it is." "Now you promise me, we'll still be cool after I dust your ass." "No." "Come on." "Rookie!" "Bye bye." "Oh, shit." "I cannot believe you are out here doing this nonsense again." "I told you." "What?" "I told you I was doing 45 when I spun out." "Yeah." "The ground was wet and I hydroplaned." "Funny, I don't seem to remember any rain today." "You were probably too busy to notice." "Johnny!" "I thought you were turning things around, what is this?" " What are you talking about?" " This, this!" "Is this the way you want the rest of your life to be?" "You keep acting out." "You have the potential and the IQ to do so much more." "Oh you mean like Sue?" "I know you think you know what's best for you but trust me son you do not." " Can you stop that?" " What?" "Stop what?" "Stop talking to me like I'm one of your students." " Well you're not getting the car back." " Excuse me?" "You're not getting the car back." "I built that thing from scratch with my own two hands." "With my money." "My money, my car." "You want it back, you're gonna have to earn it." "You're gonna have to come work for me." "I'm not wearing a lab coat." "I'm pretty sure you weren't missed." "Oh." "You got to untuck that shirt, man." "Is that..." "Adolph?" "Long time." "I'm still not German." "And, we don't need any more help." "Yes you do." "With what, his boundless enthusiasm?" "Oh, why, thank you, Victor." "He can build anything." "With a broken arm." " What exactly happened?" " What?" " Were you racing again?" " I don't know what you're talking about." "I could use some help, actually." "Oh this guy doesn't take orders well." "Yeah, especially from people who say shit like I don't take orders well." " What you need, buddy?" " Oh, that's brilliant." " What's up?" " Hey." " Johnny." " Reed." "Nice to meet you." " Have you welded before?" " Of course." "Hey." "What's up?" "I gotta say, it's fun having you here." "Mm-hm." "You kinda look like you're in your element." "Look, don't get used to this." "I'm just here to get my car back." "Right." "It's good seeing you too." " Almost there!" " Couldn't have done it without you, buddy!" " Oh." " Sorry." "Oh my god." " Why did you do that?" " Sorry." "I freak out like that, I was like... sorry." "You were sort of sleeping." "Was I?" "Is that what that was?" "It's okay if you need to take a nap or something." "No, I'm good, thanks." "So." "That must have been cool with..." "Dr. Storm as your dad." "Yeah." "Did he adopt you?" "Mm-hm." "Yeah, I know what that's like." "You were adopted?" "No, I-I just wish that I was." " Why?" " I don't know, I just, we don't really understand each other." "Where were you born?" " Kosovo." " Kosovo." "You don't have an accent." "I don't?" "Hey, Reed." "Can I have a word?" "Okay." "Yeah." "Hey." "You're being unprofessional." "You're supposed to be down here working." "Yeah, I am." "That's what we've been doing." "That's not what it looks like." "We're finished." "What?" "Yeah, we, we finished it." "Do you want to see?" "Yeah." "Hey Sue." "Can you show him?" "I'm really tired, I'm going to go take a nap." "Can you tell Dr. Storm for me?" "We did it Victor." " Harvey." " Franklin." "Big day." "Didn't think we'd make it here, but, well done." "I told you these kids could do it." "Harvey's here." "Organic test commencing." "Clear for launch." "Goggles up." "Ten nine eight seven six five four three" "two one" " Woo!" " Alright!" "Standing by for video on position." "Status unknown, stand by." "Trying an alternate frequency." "We've got signal." "Look at the plates, it's almost primordial." "Unformed, like Earth over a billion years ago." "That place could explain the origin of our species." "The evolution of our planet, answers to questions we don't even know to ask yet." "EPS, body temp, ventilation rates are all elevated." "Let's bring him back." "...." "Goggles up." "In five." "four three two one" "How is he?" "The vitals are good." "They're really good." "He made it." "It's safe." "All right." "Looks like we're next." "Gentlemen." "Everyone." "You all deserve an enormous pat on the back." "I think it's time to start coordinating with our friends at NASA." "What?" "It works." "We have to start thinking about sending men." "Yeah." "Us." "Look, I won't deny that what you've created here is incredible." "But this isn't the school science fair anymore." "We have to bring in help now." "Well, hey, why just NASA?" "Why not the Army, or the CIA?" "We could send our political prisoners there, waterboarding in the 4th dimension could prove very effective." "Why don't we discuss the details of this someplace else?" "In the meantime, we appreciate your service." "Oh, hey, thank you." "I won't let this go, I promise you." "Just give him a second to figure this out." "Look, I don't know about you guys, but..." "I could use some." "one drink." "Ethanol kills brain cells." "Heh heh." "You are a light-weight." "Heh-heh-heh..." "Looks like we need another refill." "Yup." "Yup." "Hey Vic." "You guys know who built the Apollo spacecraft, went to the moon?" "Yeah." "Your mama." "So the answer's no?" "But you know who Neil Armstrong is, right?" " Oh, yeah, of course." " Of course." " Buzz Aldrin." " Yeah." "First men to walk on the moon." "Famous faces hired to conquer dreams that weren't even theirs." "Dreams of someone else, some other scientist who probably died penniless and alone and sat in a bar telling people he sent men to the moon." "That's going to be me." "That's gonna be me." "I think it's all of us." "Unless we go first." "Why don't we go first?" "My God." "This thing works." "Okay?" "We can go up there, take 5 minutes, we could take a flag, plant it down, get our footprints down there, we're going to be the first people over there, okay?" "Screw those guys." "My dad might actually kill me this time." "Johnny, by the time your dad finds out, we'll already be back." "Think about it." "Just the 3 of us?" " Hello?" " I'm not going without you." "What time is it?" "Look, we started this thing together, we're going together," "I'm not taking "No" for an answer, okay?" "Forget Neil Armstrong!" "Come on." "Neil Armstrong?" " You're drunk." " Yeah, I am a little drunk." "It doesn't matter." "Look, the machine works." "The machine works, Ben, and I need you to come with me." "Now?" "Yeah." "Look, Ben, I need you to come, because we're going tonight and I told the guys that I'm not going without you." "Okay?" "Who's going to have my back?" "Alright, fine." "Just-Just give me a second, alright?" " Okay." " Please, all right?" " All right, buddy." " Thank you, thank you." "He's with me." " Ah!" " Hey what's up man." " What's up buddy?" " How you doing, man." "Good to see you." "Thanks, Pano." "No problem, Mr. Richards." " Why are we doing this tonight?" " Huh?" "Why are we doing this tonight?" "You trust me, right?" "Ta-da!" "It's just like ours, but expensive." "Guys." "This is Ben." "How you're doing?" " What's up." " You're his lucky charm?" "I'm sorry, this is Borat." "Borat's a dick." "You guys sure you're in the best shape to be doing this?" " Oh yeah." " Yeah." "We're good." "Let's do this." "So I guess I should come up with something better than" ""One small step for man?"" "Strap in and get comfy, kids." "We're about to make history." "Yeah, or die." "Either or." "Wow." "That's great, Ben." "Thanks." "All right, gentlemen." "Hands and feet must remain inside the ride at all times." "...." "Shit." "Dad you need to come to the lab." "REMOTE LAUNCH INITIATED" "Ten." " Don't blow up." " Nine." "Please, don't blow up." "Oh yeah, that's what I want to hear before going into another dimension." "Yeah." "Don't worry, he does that." "Five." "Four." "Three." "Two." "One." "Initiate launch." "What happened?" "Did we abort?" "Uh, I don't think that we went anywhere." "God damn it." "Johnny?" "Guys, can you hear me?" "I made it." "Wow." "Ben." "Look at this place." "It's amazing." "We did it." "I think we did." " Here, give me a hand." " Yeah." "Oh yeah, this one is definitely going on Instagram." "All right, let's do this." "Ready?" "After three." "one, two, three." " Woo!" "Look at that." " Whoa." "Hey Victor." "I think you should see this." "The energy seems to be converging over there." "Come on." "Let's check it out." "Alright." "Well, let's do it quickly, so we can get out of here." "Nope." "Uh-uh." "I'm good." "Reed." "What's he doing?" "We need to climb down there so we can get a better look." "Oh, you guys go on without me." "Stay here." "We need an anchor." "Yeah." "Yeah, yeah I'll be a great anchor." "Easy does it." "Just a little further." "Right behind you." "Okay." "It's responding to physical stimulus, almost like a nerve impulse." "I can feel it." "The energy, it's alive." "It's incredible." "There's no expenditure." " Reed." " What?" "I think we should go back." "This is important, Ben." "Come take a look." "Ahh!" "Get up!" "Come on!" "Ah!" " Look out!" " Come on!" "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Hurry up." "Come on Reed, come on!" "Aww!" "Aw." "Victor!" " Reed!" " Hold on!" " Reed pull me up!" " Victor!" "Grab my hand!" "Reed!" "Pull me up!" "Come on." "Come on." "Victor hold on!" " Reed!" "I can't hold it!" " Don't let go!" "Ahh!" "Help me!" "No, Victor!" "Victor!" "No!" "Reed!" "Let's go, come on!" " Victor!" " Come on!" "We can't leave him." "Reed, we got to go now." "Come on!" "Come on." "Come on." " Come on!" " Come on!" "Go go go!" "Move your ass, Reed!" "Move it!" "Keep moving!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Reed, let's go!" "Okay!" "Reed, come on!" "The re-entry's not working, I don't know what to do!" "Get us out of here!" "Reed do something, we got to go!" " Guys can you here me?" " Sue!" "Sue!" "Sue, can you hear me?" "Johnny!" "Do you have any idea how much trouble you're in?" "Yes, yes, I do." "Sue, listen." "I need you to manually override the re-entry, okay?" "Okay." "Okay, I got it." " Manually override the re-entry!" " I'm trying!" "Sue, just do it!" "Reed, the door!" "I can't close the door!" " Ben!" " The door won't close!" "...." "Ben?" "Ben." "Ah!" "Johnny." "Ah." "Ah." " Reed!" " Ben." " Come..." " Ben," " help me!" " I'm coming!" "Reed, help me." "I can't move." "Ben." "Where are you?" "Reed." "Ben." "Reed, help me." "I can't move." "I'll get you out of there." "Oh my god." "...." "Get a BP reading." "BP 128 / 72" "Bone density?" "Reed." "Can you move your hand?" "Where is Ben?" "Keep trying Reed." "Hey." "Do you guys know where my friends are?" " Can you lift your index finger?" " I-I..." "I'm trying." "Where's Ben?" "Did you see him?" "He was covered in the rocks." "Why won't you answer me?" "Where are my friends?" "Help me!" "Increase sedative 50 CCs." "What have you guys done to me?" "So, just for the record." "This program was under your supervision, was it not?" "I already told you it was, but I wasn't there when it happened." "All I want to know is where are my children." "I need to know if they're alive." "She's unconscious." "Somehow she's shifting in and out of the visible spectrum." "We don't know how." "Her vitals are stable." "She doesn't seem to be able to control it." "Looks like we have some activity." "Dad!" "Son..." "Oh my god." "Help me, Reed!" "Please, help me." "Somebody, please." "Is anybody there?" "Ben?" "Somebody, please." "Somebody, please." "Help me!" "Can anyone hear me?" "Please, help me." "Help." "Somebody answer me." "Anybody." "Ben?" "Ben!" "Ahhh!" "Reed?" "Oh my god." " Ben." " Reed." "What-What happened to me?" "I don't know, but I'm going to figure this out." "Ben!" "Please." "Help me, Reed!" "Subject 1 has escaped containment." "Subject 1..." "Oh shit." "Shit." "Shit." "Ben." "Ben." "I'm coming back for you, I promise." "No-no-no." "Reed" " Reed help me" " Please don't leave me!" " I'm Sorry." "Reed, do something please!" "Where is he?" "Where is Reed?" "I don't know." "He's scared, Harvey." "They're all just scared kids." "We don't know what they are right now." "All we know is that they are dangerous and powerful." "Which makes them extremely valuable to the guys who run this place." "If you think for a minute that I'm going to allow you to turn these kids into some kind of..." "You don't have a choice Franklin, and neither do I." "Either we play ball with the government, or who knows what happens to those kids." "Now." "Here's how this is going to go." "So you're Ben Grimm." "Where's Reed?" "I can't begin to imagine what you are going through." "He said he'll fix it." "Where is Reed?" "Reed's gone, and your friend isn't coming back." "Look." "I know you're scared." "You should be." "But we can help you." "You want to find a cure?" "We have resources here, the best in the world." "We're analyzing what happened to you." "Whatever it is, we can find a way to reverse it." "We can help you, Ben." "But you need to help us, too." "What do you want me to do?" "...." "His combat effectiveness this past year has been unprecedented." "In terms of potential, you already know what he's accomplished in the field." "He's been active in covert operations with a 100% success rate, protecting our men and women in battle, and saving countless lives." "Ladies and gentlemen, this is only the beginning." "The other survivors of the Baxter incident all exhibited unique physical conditions." "We developed suits which allow them to contain and control these conditions." "This subject's suit controls her spectral flares and refractive visibility." "With intense concentration, she's also developed the ability to render other objects invisible." "And to neuropathically produce forcefields." "All these abilities come from one place." "Another dimension that our scientists have taken to calling, Planet Zero." "A planet infused with the same energy that transformed these survivors and potentially could transform our military capabilities." "We have the direct link." "With your continued support, once the Quantum Gate 2 project is finished, we'll have control over more than that world." "We'll have control over ours." "Everyone, have a look." "What the hell is that?" "Subject number 2." "2000 meters in 6 seconds." "New record." "Still working on my takeoff, I can make it in 5." "All target drones neutralized." "Keep holding your breath, Susan, as long as you can." "Directional stability is 33 over 10, rise is steady, pitch is 8 degrees." "Your balance is getting better." "Hey." "They're going to send me on a project." "Like Ben?" "We should use these powers to do something." "They're not powers." "They're aggressively abnormal physical conditions that we're gonna fix." " Can you turn that off?" " Okay." "Alright." "And what if they can't?" "What if it takes more time to get it right, we could be talking years." "I am not going to be a tool." " Johnny." " Stan, you ready?" " Yes we are." " Flame on." "Okay Johnny." "Thank you Sue." "Don't forget, we're here to get our lives back." "The subjects have agreed to cooperate with us until we find the source of their powers and potentially, cure them." "Why don't we go see the big guy?" "Hi Ben." "I've got some friends of mine here from Washington D.C. visiting." "You got a second to say hello?" "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Grimm." "We appreciate all you're doing for us." "That was the deal, right?" "There she is, the Quantum Gate herself, the star of the show." "Franklin." "I'd like for you all to meet Franklin Storm, who is our supervisor here on the floor." " How do you do Sir." " Good morning." "Good morning." "How long until it's ready?" "Well we've had a few issues but we're getting closer." "Closer every day." "All right Dr. Allen." "We'll give you what you need." "In the meantime we'd like to put more of your subjects in the field." "Subject 2 is ready to go." "Get him ready for combat." "Susan!" "Can I have a word with you?" "They're sending Johnny into the field." "You mean he's sending himself into the field." "The only way to stop him is to cure him." "And that means finishing the gate." "I can't finish it without Reed." "Reed's not coming back." "He abandoned us, left us here." "He was afraid." "He didn't know what this place was." "I can't believe you're still defending him." "Help me track him down Susan." "He'll listen to you." "We'll reopen the gate, find a cure, end this." "Johnny's your brother." "It's never been as easy for him as it has for you." "And like it or not, he's family." "And family means we take care of each other." "What can I do?" "The FBI, CIA, and NSA have blips of Reed here and there." " But they can't seem to see..." " The pattern." "The pattern." "Where was he last seen?" "3 months ago in Panama." "Did you get an IP?" "Early on he was using some old buried email accounts." "Bouncing off satellites, he's keeping himself pretty well hidden." "For a short while we were able to ping him here and there." "Caught him on a few sites." "He was looking for scrap metal, buying parts." " Never stayed online that long." " Is he looking for anything else?" "He was searching for him." " I'm gonna need some music." " Excuse me?" "Any music." "It helps me think." "Thanks." "...." "Captain Nemo." "That's him." "He's routing his emails through this relay." " Got him." " You did what you had to do." "Hi, Ben." "We've got another project for you." "I think you're going to like this one." "...." "Freeze!" "Do not move!" "Get down!" "On the ground!" "Freeze!" "Oh my god, Ben." "So, this is where you've been hiding out." "Wait, stop." "Okay, let me explain." " Why?" " I'm no good to you, to anyone." " This is all my fault." " That we can agree on." "Does it hurt?" "I'm used to it." "I'm sorry." "That's what you said when you left." "I'm going to fix this." "You can't fix this." "Nobody can." "I promise you, I'm going to fix this." "I stopped believing in your bullshit a long time ago." "You were my best friend." "Look at me." "I'm not your friend." "You turned me into something else." "Nice work, Ben." "Hey, Reed." "Look I'm sorry but I didn't have a choice." "We need your help to finish the gate." "It's the only chance we have to figure out what happened to us and reverse it." "You really think that they care about us?" "You know how they've used Ben." "Yeah." "I do." "And they're gonna do the same thing to Johnny if we don't stop them." "The only shot we've got is on the other side of that gate." "Do you ever wonder what life would've been like if you hadn't come to the science fair that day?" "We can't change the past." "But we can change the future." "You said you wanted your work to make a difference." "This is it." "This is your chance." "You ready?" "You made it ugly." "It's good to see you again, son." "I'm gonna need 10 minutes." "To do what?" "I need to make a couple adjustments to the source code, you have a few steps that are out of order." "It can't be that simple." "It might not be ten minutes, could be a little less." "Come on." "Let's go." "I got a good feeling Stan, I'm gonna crack 5 seconds." "Hey." "Could I take a couple minutes with my son?" "Sure, no problem." "Guys can you give us 5 minutes." "What's going on?" "Reed is back." "We're closer than we've ever been before." "Closer to what?" "Our old lives." " Oh, you mean your life." " No, son." "You always said I had the potential to do something important." "Who's to say this isn't it?" "Sometimes things just happen for a reason." "Johnny you have no idea what they are planning to do to you." "They're not doing anything to me." "I'm doing this with them." "Johnny you need to listen to me." "I did listen to you and that's what got me here in the first place." "I'm an adult." "I'm old enough to make my own decisions." "Clear for launch." "Stand by." "Look who it is." "Hey." " It's good seeing you man." " Good to see you too." "Sonic projectors engaged." "Goggles up." "Initiating launch." "Systems check complete." "We have a visual." " Roger that control." " Are you receiving atmospheric data?" "Copy that." "Checking configuration." "Data transmission looks good." "The landscape's changed." "How?" "I don't know, it's just different." "Commencing element, geological test series." "Copy." "Hey control, I'm picking up a heat signature about 60 yards away." "Now what could that be?" "Hard to make out." "The signal keeps fluctuating." "It's moving, heading towards us." "Copy that." "Proceed with caution." "Do you have a visual?" "It appears to be a human form with some sort of foreign element around it." "I knew you would come back." " Victor?" " Not possible." "Subject appears injured." " Get the med kit." " Let's get him to the shuttle." " Alright, easy guys." " Come on." "Abort." "Bring him back." " Aborting mission." "Stabilizing the subject." " Oh, shit." "Prepare to transport." "Preparing for launch." "Transfer the subject to containment room 1." "Copy that." "His thermal signature is barely registering." "His biochemistry is off the charts." "I want to talk to him." "Nobody talks to him until I do." "Confine the others to their quarters." "Victor?" "We don't know how you survived over there but... we're still analyzing the data." "It appears as if... environment suit fused with your body but we're working on that." "We're going to help you, Victor." "We're working with the government now." "We're going to send more expeditions to the other side but first, you need to tell us everything you know about that place." "You want to know how I survived?" "That place kept me alive." "Gave me strength, power." "What kind of power?" "The kind men like you must never possess." "You couldn't resist coming back." "It's not enough to ruin your world." "Now you want to ruin mine." "Victor." "If this world must die so that mine may live, so be it." "Code Red." "There is an emergency in this building." "Follow standard emergency protocols." "Proceed to the nearest exit and leave the building immediately." "Code Red." "Code Red." "There is an emergency in this building." "Get to the outside!" " Hurry!" "Go!" "Go!" " Over here." "Code Red." "Code Red." "There is an emergency in this building." "Follow standard emergency protocols." "Proceed to the nearest exit and leave the building immediately." "Running away again?" "No." "Sue!" "My bad, are you okay?" "Yeah." "I'm all right." "Where's dad?" "Victor, no." "Just stop!" "Out of my way, Franklin." "I'm going home." "This is your home, son." "Not anymore." "There's nothing for you over there." "Only the power to create a new world." "Victor, we're not gods." "We're just people." "And we are stronger together than we are apart." "What good is it if you're alone?" "I have always been alone." "Victor, stop!" "Just stop!" "It's too late, Susan." "The earth is dying." "Humanity had it's chance." " No!" " Dad!" "Dad!" "No!" " Dad, no." "I'm Sorry!" " Dad, no!" "Dad." " No!" " Dad!" "Dad, move." "Victor, no!" "Promise me." "Look after each other." "Dad, I'm sorry." "Dad, I'm sorry." "No." "He's overloading the system to create a runaway reaction." "It's not going to stop." "It'll create a black hole that'll swallow the earth." "It's pulling everything into the other dimension." "Hold on!" "Johnny!" "Got it." "The matter from Earth is being converted to energy." "We need to stop Victor, he's the source." "He's mine." "I have an idea." "This is what I do." "Where are you Susan?" "Victor, don't do this!" "There is no Victor." "There is only Doom." "I saw a different future for us, Susan." "Help me!" "Reed!" "Ben." "Goodbye, Susan." "Eh." "Reed!" "Is he dead?" "If that thing's still active, so is he." "We can't beat him." "He's stronger than any of us." "Yeah, he is." "But he's not stronger than all of us." "Look, this place gave him his powers." "But it gave us all of ours too." "It's who we are now." "Maybe it's who we're meant to be." "We opened this door, we're gonna close it." "So what's the plan?" "Enough!" "When your world is destroyed and I'm all that's left then, it will be enough." "Always so smug, thinking you were smarter than me." "I am smarter than you." "Now!" "Hey!" "It's clobberin' time!" "This better work." "NO!" "Let's get the hell outta here!" "While the world may not know what you did to save it, the men and the women in this room do." "And so does the president." "That said, we'd like to continue our existing relationship." "So" " If we're all in agreement?" " We're not." "Excuse me?" "We're not remotely all in agreement." "We don't need you or anybody else to keep an eye on us." "We just want a place where we can work." "And whatever we come up with belongs to us." "And what if we say no?" "Say yes." "How much space are we talking about?" "A lot." "So." "I thought there were going to be four of you." "Oh, there is." "Labs are upstairs, engineering's on the south side and and assembly's downstairs." "We've been operating out of here for over 12 years now." "Well, officially, that is." "But you still won't find our name on any government books." "Most people just refer to this as..." "Central City." "But call it whatever you want." "We work for you now." "Oh." "Oh." "Wow ." " Now that's what I'm talking about." " That looks pretty nice." "I'm taking that area over there." "I could get used to this." "I got it." "The Franklin Storm Research Center." "Dad was kind of allergic to his name in big letters." "Which reminds me, I think that the four of us should have a name." "Why would we need a name?" "Because we're a team now, and there's four of us." "So, we should come up with a name for it." "I like "The Human Torch and the Torchettes."" " Ugh." " No." "You kidding me?" "How about "The Big Brain and his Neurons?"" "How about "The Big Brain and her Neurons?"" "How about "Two guys, a girl, and the Thing that nobody wanted?"" "Hey." "We both know that you could take him." " Hey!" " Hey, what?" "We've come a long way since the garage." "I gotta say." "It's fantastic." "Say that again?" "It's fantastic." "Yes, it is." "Guys, I got it." " Ready?" " Yeah." ".  ....."
