(SCREAMING)

(ROARING)

Picked her up in his arms
and crushed her.

Well, have you any experience
as a valet?

I'm afraid not.

The pay is good,

and I think you'll find
the fringe benefits
most exciting.

(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.



(GROWLING)

TERRl: Please, help me!

Will somebody
please help me?

Help me, please,
somebody!

Can anybody hear me?

Somebody, please help me!

Please, help me!

(BARKING)

Help me, please, somebody!

(BARKING)

Help me!

Help me!

ELAINA: David Banner
is not a killer.

Listen to me, David.
David Banner
is not a killer.

We're not talking
about David Banner.
ELAINA: Yes, we are!

Now, it's the same thing as if
someone is under hypnosis.

Unless they're
a potential killer,

you cannot hypnotize them
and make them kill.

Now, this creature is an
outgrowth of David Banner.

It's his primitive emotions
run wild.

It may be undisciplined,
it may tear the hell
out of a pressure chamber,

but it won't kill
because David Banner
won't kill.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

WOMAN: (ON TV)
The big news this morning

is the murder of model
Terri Ann Smith

who for years was known
as the Joslin Cosmetics girl.

Last night she was killed
in the mansion
of her boyfriend,

cosmetic king James Joslin,

by what was described
to be a seven-foot giant.

More from John Parker,
who's at the mansion
with our mini-cam.

PARKER:
James Joslin is coming
into the room right now.

We understand first
he'll make a statement,
then answer questions.

A giant killed her.
Really creepy.

(HORN HONKING)

Terri was very special
to all of us

at Joslin Cosmetics.

She was loved dearly.

I want to answer
all your questions,

I want to tell you
everything I know
about last night

in the hope that
it will alert the citizens
in this city

to the danger that this
murdering beast presents.

We can't allow
something this tragic
to happen twice.

Your questions?

Yes, Mr. Joslin...
Mr. Joslin,

we share your concern
about this creature.
Could you tell us

exactly what happened
last night?

Terri and I
had said goodnight
to several friends

and we were alone,
upstairs in the den.

What time was this?

(CAMERAS CLICKING)

About 2:00 a.m.

Some of your neighbors
heard cries for helps
that time.

Yes, well,
we were pretty rowdy.

Terri...

Well, she used to joke

that she could
scream her head off

and that no one
in the neighborhood
would pay any attention.

(BOTH CHATTERING)
JOSLIN: Last night
she decided to prove it.

Now of course
they'd be here.
I'll show you.

They're watching us now.
No...

(SCREAMING)

You mean to say that
when she screamed,
she really didn't need help?

Not then.

It was like the boy
who cried wolf.

She was just joking.

Please help me!

Anyway,

she was by the window,
shouting,

when we heard
a howling outside.

Somebody help me!

(DOGS HOWLING)

TERRl: Help!

JOSLIN: It was the dogs.
Can anybody hear me?

(BARKING)

They spotted an intruder
and were going after him.

Please, help me!
I went to the window.

(DOGS BARKING)

(SNARLING)

(WHINING)

(GROWLING)

Then he moved
toward the front door
but it was locked.

And it was solid
two-inch oak.

He tore it to pieces.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
We heard him coming
down the hall, growling.

(GROWLING)

And then he came in.

He was massive,
at least seven feet,

and very, very angry.

(ROARING)

(TERRI SCREAMING)

He was incredibly strong.

He smashed a marble statue.

He looked around
and saw Terri

and started toward her.

This time her screams
were for real.

Terri tried to hide
behind a display case.

He crossed to it,
looked at her
through the glass

and then reached up
and smashed it
to the ground.

The thing...

He picked Terri up
in his arms,

squeezed her,

crushed her.

But I ran...
Would you excuse me?

PARKER: James Joslin appears
to be overcome with emotion

and unable to go on.

Must have been horrible.
That poor man.

He crushed her.

Police Chief Jackson
is now stepping up
to the microphone.

The cause of death
appears to be
a broken back

and possibly
a crushed spinal cord.

The coroner
will release his official...

You see that girl
with Joslin?

(JACKSON CHATTERING)

Yeah. She's pretty.

Have you ever seen her
before? I mean,
do you know that face?

No. Probably one of
Joslin's models.

Probably seen her
in a magazine.

JACKSON: We have no choice
but to inform the public
of the tremendous...

I don't think so.

In closing,
I would like to assure

the residents of this city
and this county

that the manhunt
for this murdering creature

will be the largest
this force has ever launched.

But until he is caught,

the safest place for you
is in your home.

Now, stay off of the streets
at night, please.

As long as this creature
is running loose,

everyone's life
is in danger.

Thank you very much.

WOMAN: (ON TV)
Thank you, John.

We'll keep Chief Jackson's
warning in mind.

Elsewhere in the news
today...

Hey, not exactly
the greatest news
to wake up to, huh?

I heard Joslin's valet quit
when he heard about it.

Joslin's supposed to be
interviewing for
a replacement today,

but personally,
I won't go
near that place.

You on the road, too?

Sort of, yes.

Ah. Running from,
or going to?

A little of each.

One of those, huh?

Six months of running from
and all I got was blisters.

I'm gonna go back.

Where is back?

Portland.
You headed North, too?

Oh, sort of.

Look, maybe this
is out of line,

and I don't mean it
as a come on,

but I could
really use someone
to travel with.

I mean, a girl alone
on the road's bad enough,

and with this creature
running around,
I'm really scared.

JACKSON: As long
as this creature
is running loose,

everyone's life
is in danger.

GIRL: He crushed her.

I think you'd better
go on alone.

Oh, well, then,
suit yourself.

But you can't run around
in circles forever.

Be safe.

Thank you.

Good luck.
Thank you.

DAVID:
I have to turn myself in.

ELAINA: David Banner
is not a killer.

JACKSON: ... everyone's
life is in danger.

GIRL: She's probably
one of Joslin's models.

JOSLIN: Terri and I
were alone.

GIRL: He crushed her.

DAVID:
I've got to turn myself in.

ELAINA: David Banner
is not a killer.

Help me!

Hey, somethin' wrong?

ELAINA: David Banner
is not a killer.

You need some help?

No...

I thought I was lost.

GIRL: Joslin's
supposed to be interviewing
for a replacement today.

(CHUCKLING) Who's got
the one with the onions?

I do.

That figures.

I wonder when
he's gonna come out?

Well, he can't stay
in there forever.

Well, he may.

Excuse me.

Mr. Joslin is not seeing
any reporters.

Oh, no, no.
I'm here to apply
for the job of valet.

I'd read in the papers
where they were
conducting interviews.

Uh-huh.

You'll be met
at the side door.

Thank you.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Excuse me.

Yes?

I'm here to apply
for the position of valet.

Well, have you any experience
as a valet?

DAVID: Yes, in Boston.

For whom?

Dr. Jonathan Southwell.

Never heard of him.
Would you object
if we gave him a call?

Unfortunately he's deceased.

Oh.

Well, then, have you
any other references?

I'm afraid not.

JOSLIN: Hire him.

Mr. Joslin...

Hire him, Ellen.
Don't argue.

I'm James Joslin.

David Blaine.

I hire people
on my gut reaction
to them.

I think
we'll get along fine.

Well, thank you.
I'm sure that we will.

Ellen, show Mr. Blaine
to Sanderson's room.

And see if you can
find some clothes
that will fit him.

He looks to be
about the same size.

Why don't you shower
and change?

Be down here again
in 30 minutes.

Yes, I will.

He's the one
from last night.

I'm positive.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

ELKIN: Something wrong
with the fit?

No. As a matter of fact,
it's perfect.

Except I have
a bunch of matches
in my pocket.

Sanderson's Salvage?

Sanderson's cousin owns it.

Oh, who's he?

Sanderson? The old valet.
Oh.

He wasn't with us
very long,

so the clothes
are almost new.

As a matter of fact,
he just left yesterday.

He must have been
in a big hurry

considering all the clothes
he left behind.

I think there were
at least 20 jackets
in the closet.

Closer to 30.

Mr. Joslin clothes
all his personal staff.

It's one of
the fringe benefits.

Listen, I realize it's not...
I realize it's not helping
my credit. I know that.

(JOSLIN SIGHING)

Listen, I'll have it to you
as soon as possible,
but I need this loan.

All right. Right.
I'll call you tomorrow.

Bankers.

I'm surprised
they called today,
considering last night.

The fact is I called them.

Business helps me
to take my mind off it.
I hope you understand.

Of course.

Now, about your new job.

You'll have to be available
on a 24-hour basis,

and live at the mansion.

Sometimes
the work will be menial,
like answering the telephone,

sometimes creative
and demanding,

like one of our
advertising photo sessions.

But to all intents
and purposes, David,

you'll be my assistant.

The pay is good,

and I think you'll find
the fringe benefits
most exciting.

Yes, Mr. Elkin's told me.

Good.

(PHONE RINGING)

The Joslin residence.

MAN:
Is Mr. Joslin there?

May I ask who's calling?

Tell him
it's a former employee.

He's expecting my call.

It's a former employee.
He says you're expecting
his call.

Oh, yes.
Excuse me, just one moment.

Would you like to
get some coffee?

Thank you.

Joslin here.

Oh, yes, of course,
I know what that would do.

Yes, but just tell me
how much you want me
to pay, Sanderson.

(WHISPERING) Oh, my God.

Yes. Yes,
of course I'll pay.

(SIGHING)

A little problem
with back payments.
Nothing serious.

Well, as a new employee,
I certainly hope not.

We're shooting
some test layouts

on our new line
in cosmetics today.
Would you like to watch?

Very much.

(CAMERA CLICKING)
PHOTOGRAPHER: Two, three,

four, five.

One, two, three,

four, five, six.

Double, kick, recoil.

Okay, change.

That's good. Okay,
over there we go.

Again, one more time.

That's good. Change.

Change. That's good.
Okay, a little lower.

Okay, right to me.
Right to me.

That's it. That's it.
Drop the arm.

Okay, hold it. Hold it.
Hold it. You're fine.

That's good. That's good.

Stunning, isn't she?

Keep going. Change, change.
She's very pretty.

Hold it.
Okay, change. Change.

That's good.
Hold it. Hold it.

Good.
That's it. Change.

Good. Now, look at me.
Okay, that's good. Change.

I plan to base
our entire new line
on her.

Her face is literally
going to mean
Joslin Cosmetics.

Okay. Okay, that's good.
That's good. All right. Okay.

That's it, hold it.
Hold it.

Good, good, okay.
All right, change.

Okay, and over to me.
That's it.

What's her name?

Sheila Cantrell.
I'd like you
to meet her.

PHOTOGRAPHER: To me. Okay.
Right above me now.
That's it. Drop the arm.

Drop the arm. Okay.
All right. Hold it. Great.

Thanks a lot.

Good.
I think they're through.

(ALL CHATTERING)

Sheila, this is David Blaine.
David, Sheila Cantrell.

Hello. Nice posing.

Thanks. Nice looking.

Difficult not to.

I've asked Sheila
to show you over the place.

She lives here
and knows it pretty well.

I'll be up at the house
making calls.

If I need you,
I'll send Elkin down,
all right?

Fine. Thank you.

He was a different man
this morning on television.

He barely seems
affected now.

SHEILA: By the murder?

Well,
by the shooting session,

and job interviews,
business calls.

It's almost as if
nothing had happened.

I know.

It makes you nervous?

He's a strange man, David.
Watch out for him.

He can be
extremely vicious.

Come on.
I'll buy you a soda.

JOSLIN: Elkin,
join me on the patio
with your gun.

The one with the silencer.

Terri used to
love it back here.

Ah.

Did you know her well?

Oh, she was my den mother,

my sister and advisor,
all rolled into one.

Mmm-hmm.
The voice of experience.

Terri had
been through everything
I'm going through now.

Modeling contracts,
the advertising people.

She was the Joslin girl
for five years.

Yes, I know.

Look where it got her.

Were you here last night?

No...

I'd rather not
talk about it.

The thought of
that monster crushing her...

Oh, those white eyes.

No one mentioned
any white eyes.

What?

White eyes. No one said
anything about them.

Joslin described the creature
as being big and green,

but there was no mention
of white eyes.

I guess he did to me.

Well, what would you like?
We have cola, ginger ale,

all kinds of fruit juice.

Oh, no, nothing for me,
thank you.

Gone again.
Do you have a light?

I think so. Yeah.

But if you're concerned
about your health...

I know, I know.
Quit smoking.

I don't know.
Maybe you're right.

Well, good for you.

I saw you in the window
last night.

You were there?

Long enough to see you.

I want to know why
you didn't tell the police?

What are you trying to hide?

Nothing. Just drop it.

Sheila, I have to know
what happened.

I can't.

Did the creature
really do it?

I can't. He'll kill me.

Who? Joslin.

Sheila, if you don't go
to the police, I will.

Now tell me,
did Joslin kill Terri?

Did Joslin do it? Tell me!

Yes.

Thank God.

I was upstairs in my room

when I heard them fighting.

Terri and Joslin?

I went down to see
if there was anything
I could do,

but they were into it
too far.

SHEILA: James was furious,

screaming that
she was blackmailing him
into marriage.

DAVID: Was she?
Yes.

I don't love you.
Can't you understand that?
I love you.

I love you!

You don't pitch good!
Take your...

She'd been wanting James
to marry her for years,

but he'd always backed out.

She wasn't going to
let that happen again.

I love you!
You don't pitch good!

Terri told him that she knew
he'd been embezzling money
from the company,

using it to pay off
old debts.

(SCREAMS)

And if he didn't marry her,
she was going to go
to the police.

I am going to the police.

(SCREAMING)

Help!

James couldn't convince her
to back down.

He started towards her
and then she screamed.

I wanted to help her,
but my legs wouldn't move.

I just watched.

Help!

Watched as he picked up
one of those metal statues
and hit her.

He hit her in the back
with it. Killed her.

What about the creature?

I don't know
where he came from.

We heard the dogs howling
and then there was
this enormous crash.

(DOGS HOWLING)

(HULK GROWLING)

SHEILA: We heard him
come up the stairs
and down the hallway.

Big, heavy steps.

And then there was
this roar.

(ROARING)

The creature
came into the room
like an angry animal.

He was furious
at something.
It was James.

He started toward him,
knocking over anything
in his path.

James tried to hide
behind the display case,

but the creature
just smashed it
to the ground.

(SNARLING)

James ran out
past Sanderson and me.

He must have come down
during the fight.

(GROWLING)

We turned as
the creature roared.

(DOGS HOWLING)

And then,
the strangest thing
happened.

He walked over to Terri,
kneeled,

and picked her up,

tenderly.

As if he really cared
about her.

It was...

Well, in a strange way,
it was touching.

The creature
actually seemed to be
crying over her death.

(WAILING)

I watched him for a while

and then I ran.

Leaving Sanderson behind.

I'm not sure
how much he saw.

Enough to blackmail Joslin.

Then he was the man

that I chased
out of the mansion.

You were inside?

Hmm.

Who was in the sports car?

Elkin.

James didn't want
his new Joslin girl

involved in
any investigation,

so he told me
to tell everyone

that I was the one
driving the car.

He also told you
not to go to the police.

Yes.

Are you going to now?

David, my whole career
depends on James.

Anyway, who'd believe me?

Well, with Sanderson
backing you up, everybody.

We don't even know
where he is.

I think I do.

(SHEILA SHRIEKS)

(GIRLS CHATTERING)

(SHUSHING)

All right. I don't think
they followed us.

Now, do you still think
that Joslin's trying to
protect you?

Then the only answer
is to go to the police.

Not without
Sanderson, David.
I won't go alone.

You say you know
where he is?

Yeah. I think so.

SHEILA: Salvage Yard?
DAVID: Mmm-hmm.

Do you think
he'll go with us?

With a little persuasion,
I do, yes.

Is it all right
if you go alone?

Well, you can't stay here.

I have a girlfriend
with an apartment
near here.

You could drop me off.

All right. But first
we have to get a car.

Show me the way
out of here.
This way.

(BOTH CHATTERING)

...put the gate up,
we'll get in and see him
and get out of here.

MAN: Last one for today, Joe.
Crunch it, then knock it off.

(MACHINERY HUMMING)

(CLICKING)

MAN:
Let's go down to Jackie's
and shoot some pool.

Hello? Anybody here?

Hello?

MAN: We're closed.

There's something
I have to talk
to Mr. Sanderson about.

Could you open the door?

Yeah. Well,
Sandy's not here.

I'm not talking about Sandy.

I'm talking about a valet
who's blackmailing his boss,

and whose name I'm going
to give to the police
unless he opens this door.

Who are you?

My name is David Blaine.
I want to talk to you.

You don't need the gun.

Okay.

It's a nice jacket.

Used to have one just like it
when I worked for Joslin.

If you think he sent me here,
you're wrong.

I'm here to ask you
to go to the police.

For what?

To tell them you saw
Joslin kill Terri Smith.
That it wasn't the creature.

I'm afraid you don't know
what you're talking about.

You were standing
in the doorway

with Sheila Cantrell
when he did it.

That's what Sheila told me,

and that's what she's going
to tell the police.

She's going to the police?

Mmm-hmm.

And the only way you can
avoid blackmail charges

is to go with her.

Wait a minute.

She told you that
she was going to the police

and you believed her?

Yes.

You're out of your mind.

SHEILA: I'm afraid
he's right, David.

Because James didn't
kill Terri.

I did.

Don't look at me
like that, David.

Terri deserved it.

She was the one who was
going to blackmail him.

She was getting old.

It was time for her to leave,
to get out of his life.

James was mine.

She knew that.

And the only way
she could hang onto him

was to force him
into marrying her.

No way. I'm not leaving.

I am the Joslin girl.

And she was gonna
rub my face in it.

Well, I wasn't about
to let her do that.

I'd worked too hard
to get there.

So I threatened her.

SHEILA: The karate
and the photography session
wasn't a put on.

I'm a black belt,
Terri knew it.

But she wasn't afraid,
she forced me to show her.

And if that's not enough,
how about this?

But she wouldn't listen.

I showed her what I could do,

but she wouldn't back down.

Instead,
she screamed for help.

Help!

Help, somebody! Help!

I had to stop her.

So you killed her.

Yes.

Actually,
we were pretty lucky.

I don't know where
that creature came from,

but he acted
as the perfect scapegoat.

And where were you?

In the sports car
that nearly ran you down.

That's how I was able
to pick you for my valet.

I knew you were there
that night,

and had to be silenced.

So why'd you protect her?
Because she's a Joslin girl?

Because I love her.

In you go.

(GRUNTING)

JOSLIN: All right, Elkin.

This is 2-Baker-7.
MAN: (ON RADIO) Go ahead.

Yeah. I've located
the reporter's stolen car.

Yeah.

On the corner
of Solvang,

near Sanderson's junk yard.

Yeah. Why don't you
run him out here
for an ID?

(GRUNTING)

(HUMMING)

(SNARLING)

(GROWLS)

(ROARS)

Yeah. Everything looks okay.
The only thing that's missing
is my tape recorder.

(GROWLING)

SHEILA: Oh, my God, it's him!

Shoot him! Shoot him!

(GUN FIRING)

Get in there!

(SIRENS BLARING)

(SCREAMING)

(POLICE SIREN WAILING)

OFFICER:
Are you all right?

JOSLIN:
Thank God, you're here.

That creature
was going to kill us.

OFFICER: Where did he go?

JOSLIN: He disappeared
into the yard. He's gone.

(HORN HONKING)

(GROANING)

(TAPE REWINDING)

SHEILA: (ON TAPE)
I'm afraid he's right, David.

Because James didn't
kill Terri.

I did.

She was the one who was
going to blackmail him.

She was getting old.

It was time for her to leave,
to get out of his life.

She...

PARKER: Jack,
the police told us

that something you recorded
on your tape machine
played a key role

in the arrest of James Joslin
and Sheila Cantrell.

Can you tell us
what it was?

Yeah. Well, essentially,
it was a recording

of a full confession.

PARKER:
How did you get it?

Well, that's
a trade secret, John.

But I suspected
Miss Cantrell
for some time,

and I felt
that if I kept after her,
she'd start to crack.

Well, what about
the creature?

McGEE: Well, the creature
may be clear of this murder,

but he's still
a threat to society.

I'll be here trying
to track him down.

I only hope
that the local police
can say the same.

Thank you, Jack.
To recap,

the latest development in
the Terri Ann Smith murder

is the startling arrest
of Sheila Cantrell,

the new
Joslin Cosmetics girl...
