and suddenly I'm alone.

That's terrible.

You know l'd never hurt you.

[Solemn instrumental music]

[Dog panting]

Hey there.

What's your name, darling?

Okay. lt's okay.

[Dog growling]

[Key turning in lock]

[Ominous instrumental music]

[Typing]

[Eerie instrumental music]

BANNER:
I gotta talk to you, Edith.

EDlTH:
Bruce, stay here.

[Bruce cries out]

[Dog barks in distance]

[Ominous instrumental music]

[Rhythmic instrumental music]

BANNER:
C, T, G, A...

G.

Bruce.

My Bruce.

Morning. Glenn dropped by.

BRUCE:
What's he doing here?

TALBOT:
You know, Dr. Krenzler...

we've never had the chance

to get to know each other properly.

lt's because l don't want to get to

know you, properly or improperly.

[Pager beeping]

BRUCE:
So leave.

Hey, no worries.

You know,

let me give you a little heads up.

There is a hair's breadth between

friendly offer and hostile takeover.

l've done my homework. The work

you're doing here is dynamite.

Think:
Gl's embedded

with technology...

that makes them instantly repairable

on the battlefield...

in our sole possession.

-That's a hell of a business.

-lt's not what we're doing here.

We're doing the basic science

for everyone.

You know, someday l'm gonna

write a book and l'm gonna call it:

''When Stupid ldeals Happen

to Smart Penniless Scientists.''

ln the meantime, Bruce,

you will be hearing from me.

[Ominous instrumental music]

-About Glenn.

-There's nothing to talk about.

l just wanted to say,

don't worry about him.

l'll handle it.

How?

l'm gonna call my father.

Ask him to exert some pressure.

Last l heard, you and your father

weren't speaking.

l guess now l have something

to talk with him about.

HARPER:
I think this circuit's fried.

I don't know.

Maybe you want to

come take a look at it.

Okay, I'll be right there.

[Harper yells]

[Harper panting]

[Machine whirring]

The gamma's too high!

Bruce, l can't stop it!

Harper, get out!

Get out!

[Machine whirring loudly]

[Door opening]

-How's Harper?

-He's all right.

You saved him.

l don't think he's coming back

to the lab for a while, though.

l don't understand

how this is possible.

You should be dead.

They worked.

The nanomeds.

l feel great. l feel like...

l don't know,

they must have fixed me.

They've killed everything else

that they've come in contact with.

Are you sure the doctor checked--

The doctor gave me the full workup.

He wants to know

where he can get what l'm taking.

l'm 100%.

More.

-What do you mean?

-Remember my bad knee?

Now it's my good knee.

Bruce, this isn't funny.

l was watching you.

You were gonna die and l was gonna

have to watch you die.

l'm sorry.

Really.

l am not gonna explode, okay?

[Sobbing] Yeah.

BRUCE:
You should get some rest.

l'm fine, really.

l've never felt better.

[Soft instrumental music]

[Eerie instrumental music]

[Soft instrumental music]

[Dog whimpering]

Your name is not Krenzler.

lt's Banner.

BRUCE:
What?

BANNER:
Your name. lt's Banner.

Bruce Banner.

BRUCE:
How did you get in here?

BANNER:
l work here now.

ln the labs. The late shift.

lt keeps me close to you.

You always work so late yourself

with your friend, Miss Ross.

No, please. Let me.

You're not well.

You've had a terrible accident.

You're wondering why

you're still alive.

You're thinking

there's something inside.

Something different.

lnexplicable.

l can help you understand,

if you let me.

lf you'll...

forgive me.

Look, mister...

l'm sure l have nothing

to forgive you for...

so perhaps you should leave now.

l'll be fine.

BANNER:
You must know.

You may not want to believe it,

but l can see it...

in your eyes.

So much like your mother's.

Of course you're my flesh

and blood...

but then you're something else, too,

aren't you?

My physical son...

but the child of my mind, too.

No. You're lying.

My parents died

when l was a small boy.

No, that's not true.

That's what

they wanted you to believe.

The experiments, the accident,

all top-secret.

They put me away for 30 years.

Away from you. Away from our work.

But they couldn't keep me forever.

l'm sane. They had to admit it.

You see...

everything your

extraordinary mind...

has been seeking all these years...

it's been inside you.

Now we will understand it.

We will harness it.

[Telephone ringing]

BANNER:
Don't answer. lt's Miss Ross again.

There's something

you need to know about her, Bruce...

something troublesome.

BANNER:
Let me protect you from her.

No. Get out.

[Shouting] Get out!

Sit!

[Dogs growling]

We're gonna have to watch

that temper of yours.

[Machine whistles]

[Dogs whimpering]

[Rat growling ferociously]

BETTY:
Sure you're okay?

BRUCE:
Yeah, just glad to be out of bed.

l got a message from my father.

He's coming to see me.

BRUCE:
Your father? When?

He lands in about an hour.

BETTY:
[Voice-over]

The funny thing is, he called me.

BETTY:
Hi, Dad.

ROSS:
Hello, Betty.

WAlTRESS:
Here, ma'am.

BETTY:
Thanks.

WAlTRESS:
You're welcome. Sir.

ROSS:
Thank you.

WAlTRESS:
You're welcome.

-Look, l'm gonna get right to it.

-lt's about Glenn, isn't it?

He's been snooping around my lab.

Glenn noticed some things.

He asked me to make some inquiries.

BETTY:
Are you here to question me?

ROSS:
No.

We've turned up

some surprising things.

This Krenzler you work with...

do you know who he really is?

How much do you actually know

about him?

l think the question is...

what is it that you know about him?

l'm not at liberty to--

Not at liberty

to disclose it to me. Right.

You know, l think l was hoping...

that maybe this time you just

honestly wanted to see me again.

You've got this all wrong, Betty.

BETTY:
Do l?

ROSS:
Yes.

l do want to see you.

l really wish

that l could believe you.

[Dramatic instrumental music]

BANNER:
[Voice-over]

Everything your extraordinary mind...

has been seeking all these years...

it's been inside you.

[Telephone ringing]

[Panting]

BRUCE:
[On machine] This is Dr. Krenzler.

Please leave a message

and I'll call you right back.

[Answering machine beeps]

BETTY:
Bruce, hey. Are you there?

[Bruce breathing heavily]

Look, I think I screwed up.

My father, it's like

he suspects you of something.

[Thumping]

I was so impatient, like always...

I didn't hear him out. I don't know.

I just think they're planning

something with the lab.

[Growls]

So call me, okay? Bye.

[Tense instrumental music swells]

BRUCE:
Betty!

[Growling]

[Dramatic instrumental music]

[Bruce groaning]

[Bruce screaming]

[Roaring]

[Growling]

GUARD:
Dispatch! We have a 4-15 at the lab!

GUARD:
Send the Berkeley P.D. now!

[Dramatic instrumental music continues]

[Heaving]

[Siren wailing]

[Hulk grunting]

[Hulk roars]

[Hulk growling]

[Policeman yelling]

EDlTH:
What's going on?

BANNER:
l gotta talk to you.

EDlTH:
Bruce, stay here.

[Hulk growling angrily]

[Banner yelping]

[Hulk roaring]

[Tense instrumental music swells]

[Sobbing]

My Bruce.

[Knocking at door]
