The Trial Of The Incredible Hulk Page #5

Look, I'm not sure if the

Mendez woman is still alive.

I do know that Fisk is gathering

crime bosses from all over the country.

Word is that they meet tomorrow.

Now, these are men with no

warrants on them. I can't do a thing.

Can you?

Let me know if you're alive.

Please.

[roaring on screen]

Stop it, stop it, stop it.

Roll it back.

[tape rewinding sound]

And we end it... there.

Do you suppose he is dead?

I'm sure of it.

No one can take that kind

of punishment and survive.

Hmm.

I want this on the giant screen.

I don't want our guests

to miss a moment of it.

I want them to see how

we solve our problems.

And then they will agree

the link our networks.

A national corporation

with me at the control.

As it should be.

As it should be.

Mr. Fisk,

Uhm... The Mendez woman.

Is she still alive?

Yes.

Why?

[music playing]

[laughter]

Are you comfortable?

Clothes seem to fit.

You look lovely.

Look at me, please?

If none of this had happened,

if you were...

if you were seated

in a restaurant,

dining alone,

and the waiter approached your table

and said,

the man in the corner booth

has sent you this glass of champagne.

He asks if he might be

allowed to join you.

You look up.

It's me in the corner booth.

I'm nervous, but I try to

smile without looking foolish.

What would you say to the waiter, Ellie?

You look across the room at me.

You turn to the waiter,

and you say?

I'd say,

I think I'd like some company.

Some dinner conversation.

He seems like a nice man.

(WHISPER) Thank you.

But I'd be wrong, Edgar.

You people are killers.

Sometimes I save lives,

if I can.

[bedroom door closes]

[music playing]

Touching.

Very, very, very touching.

Ah, Ellie, what are you

doing the rest of your life?

Say, 24 hours.

I'm a good doctor.

I thought I'd lost it, but I haven't.

I can cure anything they broke in you,

but your spirit.

Don't you understand?

They were waiting for me.

They... They knew just how to

get at me. Somehow they knew.

No.

They knew nothing.

They threw everything at you.

If they'd known you were

blind,

do you think they would have tried

to disorient you with all that light?

To have Ellie Mendez sitting

out in plain view like bait?

They wasted me.

It was easy for them.

That sound would have crushed anybody.

Of course it hurt you more with your gifts.

- Gifts?

- Yes.

Radiation took your sight.

But look at the gifts it gave you.

Look at what you can do.

You're forgetting that.

I understand, because I forgot.

I have gifts too.

I have something to contribute.

Recently somebody said to me,

I was thinking only of myself.

That someone was you, Matt.

- Leave me alone.

- That's what I said.

What you said was this,

if you walk,

you're walking out on Ellie Mendez

and all the people that they try and break.

Who in the hell is

going to stop them?

Who in the hell is going

to keep Ellie Mendez alive.

- Will you shut up?

- No!

I'll help.

I'll be your eyes.

I'll do what I can. But I think

together, you and I possibly...

Shut up!

Help me to the gym.

Good to see you.

Well, there's at least six limos out there.

Crime lords.

LA, Detroit, Chicago.

Fisk is spreading his wings.

What do you hope to do?

Discredit him somehow.

Well, first you're going to

have to get in that building.

That part's easy.

There's a rooftop to our left. It's within

reach, from here to there on a cable.

There's a door on the roof.

I've studied it.

That's easy?

I could do my eyes closed.

You go in through the front door, David.

Meet me on the 20th floor, west side.

Then we head for the penthouse.

That's the tough part.

The fortress is on top of the tower.

[murmur of voices]

Gentlemen, welcome.

A toast.

A toast.

Unfortunately we cannot drink,

because there is only ice in our glasses.

But it is a very special kind of ice.

Gathered especially for you.

Diamonds!

A modest gift.

Thanks, Fisk.

We read about the little, uh, diamond

harvest you had here two weeks ago.

Ah, so kind of you to keep up

on events in our little town.

Some of you will have heard rumors

and will no doubt be wondering

whether it is true

that at last I've managed to put

my own house in order

and get rid of my most troublesome enemy.

Yes, what about Daredevil?

Can he still throw a wrench in our machine?

So glad you asked.

Please.

[music playing]

An octopus can not be only legs, gentlemen.

It needs a head.

An engineer, if you will.

I humbly submit myself for the

post of manager of all our tentacles.

And the following video is my resume.

DANNY:
(SINGSONG) Honey.

I'm home.

Hurry.

We have to make our move now...

[slam]

You've been bad, Edgar.

Very bad.

This woman was supposed to be erased days ago.

Now.

Mr. Fisk says you're supposed

to help me do the job.

And very quietly.

We can't disturb the meeting.

Right?

Right?

I recognized him from the subway.

The other guy called him John.

(URGENT WHISPER)

No! He'll be armed!

Aaah!

Ooof!

All right, now listen.

The woman, Ellie Mendez.

Is she still alive?

(PAINED) Yes.

Yes.

Who the hell are you?

You're going to tell

us where the meeting is.

You're going tell us

where the woman is.

Or I'll punch your heart out.

You look tired, hon.

Rough day?

Why don't you go lie down?

(ANGRILY) You scum.

Aaah!

Catch her screams, Edgar.

Be sure you catch them all.

[pained sounds]

ID scanner.

Ah!

Thumb!

Aaah!

Ooof!

DAREDEVIL:
Camera.

[glass breaking]

This leads to Fisk's office.

There'll be guards from here

on, no way to avoid them.

This is as far as you need to go.

Well, if he was telling us the truth,

this stairway leads to

in Ellie Mendez's room.

I'll try and get her.

OK.

You are watching the ending of a man.

And the ending of an era.

I am without serious enemies gentlemen.

No.

No guns, the meetings on.

They can't know this is happening.

You were crazy to come here.

I like it here.

It's quiet.

This time we finish the job.

See what I mean?

No.

I don't see at all.

[music playing]

Hah.

Ah!

Hah!

Augh.

Hiyaugh!

Oof.

Ow!

Ungh!

[swish]

[swish]

[swish]

Shoo.

Shoo.

Ungh.

Do it again.

Do it.

Now.

You sad little... Augh!

[crash]

Follow me.

This stairway leads to the street.

Go. Hurry.

- But Edgar, he'll kill you now.

- No, no, no.

He'll forgive me.

I'm the only one he does forgive.

C'mon, Ellie.

I'll get you out of here.

Gentlemen, it is

with the greatest pleasure that I declare

Daredevil officially dead.

[laughter]

[applause]

[crash]

MAN IN ROOM:
It's him!

Intermission.

Your power is finished in this city, Fisk.

Finished!

Finished!

[motor revving]

[groaning creak]

[crash]

[groaning creak]

[crash]

[motor revving louder]

You're finished, Fisk!

You think Fisk will be back?

He'll try.

Ah, you'll be here to stop him.

And you.

No. I'm going to start using my skills

as a scientist and a doctor.

Parts of me that I've

been neglecting lately.

I have you to thank for

giving me back myself.

Could you settle here?
