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.

I'm sorry about this, David.

I'm sorry
for you and the girl.

No!

But I had no choice.

No!

No!

No!

(GRUNTING)

(HULK GROWLING)

It's locked.

I'll get some help.

(HULK GROWLING)

The door is locked.

(GROWLING)

NURSE: Look out!
Get away from me.
Get away!

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

This is OB. We need
security up here. Stat.

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

For God's sake,
send the security.

MAN: (ON P.A. SYSTEM)
Security personnel to OB/G YN
immediately.

All security personnel
to OB/G YN immediately.

(HULK GROWLING)

(ELEVATOR DINGING)

(NURSE SCREAMING)

He's in the elevator now,
with a patient.

It's going down.

No. It just stopped
between floors.

What's going on?

We've got
some kind of a thing
trapped between floors.

Look, just call the police.
This thing's a giant.

(CRASHING)

Oh, my God!

He's trying to get out.

(ROARING)

(SIRENS BLARING)

RHODES: It's
morphine sulphite.

Morphine sulphite.

Carrie.

(GROANING)

(HORNS BLARING)

MAN: Yes?

Rhodes.

(BUZZING)

Hi. I'm sorry I'm late.
The hospital's gone crazy.

She's prepped. Contractions
are fast and heavy.

Okay, good.

How did it go
with your patient?

I gave him an overdose
of morphine sulphite.

I'll be able to hide it
from the autopsy.

We'll do the same for her.
Right after delivery.

(COIN CLINKING)

CARRIE: 585 Rosemont.

It's supposed to be somewhere
up here near the hospital.

You wouldn't have believed it.

Some reporter from
The National Register

has been calling everyone
to get the story.

Sounds like something
that they'd go for.

NURSE: Well,
he's really been a pest.

Tied up one of my nurses
for 50 minutes talking
about it.

As if she didn't have
anything better to do.

She's still on sedation?

Yes. That's what
Dr. Rhodes ordered.

Let me see her chart.

I don't believe this.

No. Take her off this
immediately.

What the hell was Dr. Rhodes
trying to do?

ELLEN: Here's another pillow
for your head.

Okay, just try to make
yourself as comfortable

as you possibly can
on this table.

Let me have the meperidine,
please.

CARRIE: You know, Doctor...

I'm not sure
I want to do this.

Now, Carrie, it's
a little too late to decide
you don't want a baby.

Not that.

It's that...

Maybe I wanna keep him.

Babies are expensive.

Yeah, but what about
state homes, and...

And child support.

RHODES: Easy. Deep breaths.

Come on now.

One.

Two.

That's it, good.

Doctor. Meperidine, Doctor.

Thank you.

Okay, now,
this is meperidine.

This will help ease the pain.

You're doing beautifully,
Carrie. Just beautifully.

CARRIE: What if I...

What if I just get into some
kind of an aid program, I...

I could afford to keep him.

It's possible.

The most important thing
is that I love him.

I want my baby.

RHODES: You and Carrie
were trying to set us up.

I'm sorry, David.

CARRIE: I'll be all right.

RHODES: I'm sorry, David.

I've changed my mind.
I want to keep him!

I want my baby.

RHODES: You and Carrie,
I'm sorry.

Dan.

Doctor...

Prepare the multiple dosage
for me when she delivers.
...I wanna keep him.

45 CC's.
Please. No.

Yes, Doctor.

I wanna keep him.

I want my baby.

Try to relax now, okay?
No.

We'll talk about it later.
Yes.
No.

Get me some light.
Doctor.

(DOOR LATCH CREAKING)

CARRIE: No. Doctor.
I want my baby!

Baby.

They sold my baby.

You see, Doctor,
she's been mumbling something
about selling her baby.

They sold my baby.

Who did?

Can you tell me who?

Matrix.

Dr. Rhodes.

Dr. Rhodes was there.

Dr. Rhodes?

Who is...

(STUTTERING)
Who is Matrix?

Where is he?

Rosemont.

Rosemont Avenue?

I think we better
call the police.

Please, my baby.

(CARRIE GROANING)

How's that?
A little bit more.

Thank you.

Is he there?
Is he there?

Not yet,
but you're doing beautifully.
My baby!

Just relax.
David said...

He said he would...

I know, but you're fine.
So just breathe.
My baby.

Just try to relax.

My baby.

Now, Carrie,
take a deep breath,

hold it and push.

(GROWLING)

RHODES: Easy, easy.

There he is.

It's crowning.

Good. Very good, Carrie.

I want my baby.

My baby.

I want my baby.

RHODES: Good. Atta girl.

(CARRIE MOANING)

(HULK GROWLING)

RHODES: Here it comes.

(CARRIE GASPING)

It's a girl!

(BABY CRYING)

(ROARING)

ELLEN: Oh, God! What is it?

DAN: Stay away.

Stay away. Stay away.
Don't...

ELLEN: Do something, Stan.

(SCREAMING)

(POLICE SIREN WAILING)

DAN: No.

(SCREAMING)

Nice house.

Yeah. I hope
the Sergeant got it right.

Yeah, Matrix. This is it.

How would you like
to live in a place
like this?

Yeah, it's really nice.

(GROWLING)

(BABY CRYING)

CARRIE: My baby.

No.

(ROARING)

CARRIE: Who are you?

No! Don't touch her!

Help us. Help us, please.

He's with the baby.
Hurry.

OFFICER 1: Where?

Upstairs, in the back bedroom.
Hurry.

CARRIE: Please,
don't hurt her.

No.

No.

Don't hurt her.

Please put her down.

Hold it.

Don't shoot.

Will you give her to me?

Oh, mama.

Please, please
give her to me.

(BABY CRYING)

OFFICER 1: All right, back up.
Get away from her.

OFFICER 2: That's it.
Now up against the wall.

(GROWLING)

All right...

Turn around.

(ROARING)

Good.

Put your hands
against the wall.

CARRIE: No.
No, don't shoot him.

She's a beautiful baby.

Have a nice visit.

Thank you.

(BABY CRYING)

Well, have you got
a name for her?

Not yet.

Oh, if she was a boy
it would be easy.

David.

But a girl?

What about Davidette?

Or Davidia?

Or Davona.

How about not?

Anyway, we both
wanna thank you
for caring about us.

(INTERCOM BUZZING)

Yes?

NURSE: Carrie,
there's a reporter from
The National Register here.

Mr. McGee.

I didn't know if you'd
want to talk to him.
He's a terrible...

Oh, sure. Why not?
Tell him to come on down.

Look, I...

I've got to go.

Oh, hitching?

Yeah. Up north.

But...

You two be good to yourselves.

Be safe.

We will.

It'll be terrific.

Once we get past
the sleepless nights,
slightly moist diapers.

Or worse.

David!

I forgot to ask you.

Was what you had to do here
a success?

No.

But this time
it was for the better.

Bye-bye.
Bye.

Now, let's see.
Here it is.

Right at the end of the hall.

Thank you very much.

(ELEVATOR DINGING)
