The Trial Of The Incredible Hulk Page #4

10 years ago when I was first starting out,

I was ready to fight the evil in this city.

I wasn't sure exactly how.

There he is!

REPORTER:
Tendelly, what's going

on? What did you tell them in there?

Well, if you shut up, I'll tell you

exactly what I told them in there.

- You walk off the task force?

- Task force?

Huh.

The task force is a sham.

Are you accusing your own department?

Yeah, my own department,

and the DA's office,

and a third of City Hall is on the

take. And you can quote me on that.

Albert G. Tendelly.

A good cop.

I've met him.

Well, if the task force can't

do the job, captain, who can?

Are you saying that nobody

can get to these guys?

You're asking me who can take on

the organization? All right, I'll tell you.

You, captain?

Yeah. Me.

And a few good judges. And good cops.

And a few attorneys that can be trusted.

Maybe somebody who could work

alone could do some damage,

maybe somebody could

get behind the lines,

hit and run,

keep himself a secret.

Maybe some kind of a...

I don't know...

crazy daredevil, if you will,

could hurt them.

[laughter]

TENDELLY:
You can

laugh all you want,

but it'll be somebody that they

can't kill off, pay off, or scare off.

MATT MURDOCK:

So I trained very hard.

I took myself to what

I thought was my limit.

And then,...

I went beyond.

One day, I introduced myself.

So you work together?

No, not even Tendelly knows my identity.

But he has a way to contact me.

Uhhuh.

I see.

You haven't told me about this

award for bravery in 1968.

I was 14 years old.

I was very strong for my age,

and fast.

So,... when I saw the speeding truck,

I just moved.

There was an old man

standing in the way,

and I didn't even stop to think.

I just ran and pushed him out of the way.

And the truck hit you.

No.

One of the steel drums broke loose when it

swerved and hit the street in front of me.

Last thing I saw...

last thing I'll ever see...

was a wave green liquid.

Kind of radioactive liquid.

Toxic material.

It took your sight.

And left me other things.

Other things, yes.

It's kind of hard to explain.

I suppose it is.

Matt.

I'm a doctor.

I want to look at your eyes.

You doctors know very

little about radiation.

No matter what you think.

Mmmhmm.

I happen to know a lot about it.

Trust me.

Can my sight be restored?

No.

Thanks for being so honest, doc.

How can you see?

I don't.

I kind of sense everything.

A kind of radar sense.

With amplified hearing

and scent and touch.

I can listen in on your heartbeat.

It changes if your lying

or anxious, you know.

And I can read normal

print with my fingertips.

It says, I don't believe you.

Do you now?

Yes.

Then help me.

Help me bring them down.

If you walk, you're not

just walking away from me.

You're walking away from

Ellie Mendez, if she's still alive,

and all the other people

they're trying to break.

I can't help you, if I stand trial.

Who're you protecting?

Myself. And all other innocent

people that I might harm.

You said a change comes over you.

What you mean?

And who was that beast

that broke you out of jail?

I'll help you find the two people,

that I saw in the subway.

Don't ask more of me.

Why are you so alone?

We're both alone.

I've put a secret in your hands.

My life rides on that secret.

Now I expect you to tell me...

An untraceable cellular phone.

Only Tendelly has the code, and

even he doesn't know the location.

TENDELLY:
(ON PHONE) Turk came

to us selling information.

Not much.

He said he overheard a conversation.

That they're holding the

Mendez woman in the web.

That's all he heard, the web.

Can you make anything out of that?

Contact me, hmm?

Then she's still alive.

The web. That could mean anything.

A network?

Spiders.

Giant spiders from Mars.

What?

The last movie made the old

Cosgrove Studios on 14th.

Giant Spiders from Mars.

They had the whole studio

covered in a phony kind of webbing.

The stuff stayed up for years

after the studio went bankrupt.

Some people call it the web.

The old Cosgrove Studios.

They have her there.

You'll contact Tendelly?

No. Some of his

men can't be trusted.

Just me. In and out.

I'll bring Ellie Mendez back here.

They'll be guarding her.

I'll go with you.

Why?

To help.

I almost turned away from her once.

So I'll, I'll do what

I can before I leave.

For her.

And for you.

Because of my sad story.

Radiation poisoning, and now

you feel sympathy for me?

No.

I feel somehow we're alike.

I'll be back before dawn.

[music playing]

[pop] Hey, everybody.

Drinks are on Turk!

Hey!

Oh, now you drink too.

Come on! I'm in a good mood.

Everybody drinks, eh?

You, and, and you, and oh!

And a drink for my friend here.

Word is out you're

spending high, Turk.

Now where does slime like you

collect all these Benjamin Franklins?

I rolled a cop.

Guard!

Get him outta here.

[heckling laughter]

Hey, are the drinks still on Turk?

Get yourself some OJ, my friend.

[phone ringing]

TENDELLY:
(ON PHONE) Looks to

me like that information might be phony.

Turk was paid off to leak it.

If you made anything out of that

web business, don't act on it.

Could be dangerous.

Tendelly, he's left.

Hello?

[thud]

Ooof!

[music playing]

[creaking slam of door]

Are you ready?

You feel that you are

looking your best?

Do you know your part?

Let the woman go.

This will be the greatest

performance of your life.

And the last.

Lights.

Camera.

Sound.

[disorienting sounds]

[screaming]

Action.

[disorienting sounds]

[music playing]

[disorienting sounds]

[music playing]

[disorienting sounds]

[music playing]

[disorienting sounds]

[growling]

[disorienting sounds, growling]

[electrical sounds]

[electrical sounds]

ELLIE MENDEZ:
(CRYING OUT) Aaah!

Oh.

(SCREAMING) What is happening?

[hulk roaring]

DAREDEVIL:
Oh.

David.

You poor soul.

Hey, Tendelly!

What?

Is it true?

What they're saying?

Is Daredevil dead?

I don't know, kid.

[disappointed sounds from kids]

How much longer before

you can be up and around?

Has the doctor told you?

MATT MURDOCK:
(ON PHONE)

Not long.

Well, we want to come and see you.

MATT MURDOCK:
(ON PHONE)

No.

Not yet.

In a while.

Anybody can fall down stairs, man.

I've done it myself.

- You know, once I broke...

- MATT MURDOCK:
(ON PHONE) I'm being well cared for.

I'll call you in a while.

Wait.

I just want to stop by and say hi.

In a while, Christa.

Sometimes he keeps me

so far away from him.

It hurts, Al.

He's a proud man.

It hurts.

DAVID BANNER (BELSON):

You're lucky.

You have people in your life

who care about you.

Why don't you accept their support?

I don't want her to see me like this.

Wounded?

Helpless.

DAVID BANNER (BELSON):

You're healthy, and you're mending.

At least your body is.

You know, you could

try walking today.

Now.

If you'd like.

- Here's my hand, it's just above...

- Above my chest, I know.

[phone ringing]

TENDELLY:
(ON PHONE)

This is Tendelly.

If you're alive, send me word.

Or meet me.

Let me know, for God's sake.
