1. Typical of Victor Von Doom to build
a 30-foot statue of himself.
Copy !req
2. Well, it's obviously aimed
at first-time visitors...
Copy !req
3. to create feelings
of smallness, inadequacy.
Copy !req
4. Good thing it ain't working.
Copy !req
5. Reed, what are we doing here?
This guy's fast-food, strip-mall science.
Copy !req
6. This wasn't our first stop,
in case you forgot.
Copy !req
7. Besides, Victor's not that bad.
He's just a little larger than life.
Copy !req
8. My research suggests that exposure
to a high-energy cosmic storm...
Copy !req
9. borne on solar winds might have triggered
the evolution of early planetary life.
Copy !req
10. In six weeks, another cloud
with the same elemental profile...
Copy !req
11. will pass Earth's orbit.
Copy !req
12. A study conducted in space could
fundamentally advance our knowledge...
Copy !req
13. about the structure of the human genome,
cure countless diseases...
Copy !req
14. extend human life, give kids a chance
to live longer, stronger, healthier...
Copy !req
15. Turn it off, please.
Copy !req
16. I don't think I have explained
my proposal fully.
Copy !req
17. No, I think you have.
Copy !req
18. Same old Reed, always stretching,
reaching for the stars...
Copy !req
19. with the weight of the world on his back.
Copy !req
20. But dreams don't pay the bills, do they?
Copy !req
21. You remember, when we were in school
we talked about working together.
Copy !req
22. Well, that's what I was about to explain.
Copy !req
23. The storm is deadly.
Copy !req
24. But the shields on
your station's control room...
Copy !req
25. are designed to protect
any occupants inside.
Copy !req
26. So it's not just my money you want.
Copy !req
27. It's my toys.
Copy !req
28. Tell me, if NASA doesn't trust you,
then why should I?
Copy !req
29. That's my job, to stay a step ahead.
Copy !req
30. To know what other men don't.
Copy !req
31. I can't take this.
Copy !req
32. Ben, this is business, just work.
Copy !req
33. He's right, Ben. It is just business.
Copy !req
34. I think you both know my Director
of Genetic Research, Susan Storm.
Copy !req
35. One more thing he's got.
Copy !req
36. - Hey, Susie.
- Hey.
Copy !req
37. It's so nice to see you. How's Debbie?
Copy !req
38. - Great.
- Great.
Copy !req
39. - How have you been?
- Never better.
Copy !req
40. This isn't going to be a problem, is it?
Copy !req
41. - No.
- Not at all.
Copy !req
42. Good.
Copy !req
43. Then you're just in time
to hear the great Reed Richards...
Copy !req
44. ask me for help.
Copy !req
45. You know, you made a lot of folks at MIT
feel like a junior high science fair.
Copy !req
46. So you'll excuse me
if I savor the moment.
Copy !req
47. You back this mission and I'll sign over
a fair percentage of any application...
Copy !req
48. The number's 75%.
Copy !req
49. And its applications and patents.
Copy !req
50. - What about his first-born?
- Ben...
Copy !req
51. Come on.
Copy !req
52. 25% of a billion is enough
to keep the lights on for a while, isn't it?
Copy !req
53. Maybe even pay off your fourth mortgage
on the Baxter Building.
Copy !req
54. Deal?
Copy !req
55. Well, then. To our future.
Copy !req
56. Together!
Copy !req
57. It's funny how things turn out, isn't it?
Copy !req
58. Hilarious.
Copy !req
59. He knew about NASA.
Maybe he made the call to shut us down.
Copy !req
60. Ben, think about all the people
we can help if this works.
Copy !req
61. Look, we got what we wanted.
That's enough.
Copy !req
62. A few days in space, it'll be great.
What's the worst that can happen?
Copy !req
63. If Reed's right, this little trip
could double our stock offerings.
Copy !req
64. - And if he's not...
- Reed's always right.
Copy !req
65. Good thing he doesn't always know
what he's got.
Copy !req
66. Reed, you should know those solar winds
have been picking up speed.
Copy !req
67. I factored them into my coordinates.
Copy !req
68. Right, of course you did. In theory.
Copy !req
69. It's a little different once you're out there.
Copy !req
70. - I can assure you I...
- When are we leaving?
Copy !req
71. I'll be scheduling the launch...
Copy !req
72. so you can call me in the morning
for resources and crew.
Copy !req
73. - I think I remember the number.
- It's been changed.
Copy !req
74. As far as crew, I was hoping
Ben could pilot the mission.
Copy !req
75. We already have a pilot on our payroll,
but you're welcome to ride shotgun.
Copy !req
76. Remember my brother, Johnny?
Copy !req
77. Can't do it. Cannot do it.
Copy !req
78. External SRBs, orbital system engines,
it's just like the shuttle you flew.
Copy !req
79. No! I cannot take orders
from the underwear model.
Copy !req
80. - Come on now, Ben.
- That wingnut washed out of NASA...
Copy !req
81. for sneaking two Victoria's Secret
wannabes into a flight simulator.
Copy !req
82. Youthful high spirits.
Copy !req
83. They crashed it into a wall.
A flight simulator.
Copy !req
84. When have I ever asked you
to do something...
Copy !req
85. you absolutely said you could not do?
Copy !req
86. Five times.
Copy !req
87. - I had it at four.
- Well, this makes five.
Copy !req
88. Attention, all personnel.
Copy !req
89. Commencing launch sequence
in six hours.
Copy !req
90. I miss you already, Debs.
Copy !req
91. Captain on the bridge!
Copy !req
92. Digital camera: $254. Memory stick: $59.
Copy !req
93. The look on your hard-ass
former CO's face...
Copy !req
94. when he finds out he's your junior officer:
Copy !req
95. Priceless.
Copy !req
96. Thank you. That's so sweet.
Copy !req
97. I can handle the ship.
Copy !req
98. I can even handle Mr. Blond Ambition.
Copy !req
99. But I don't know whether I should be
flying or doing Swan Lake in these suits.
Copy !req
100. - I mean, who the hell came up with these?
- Victor did.
Copy !req
101. The synthetics act as a second skin,
adapting to your body's individual needs.
Copy !req
102. See, now that means
it keeps the hot stuff hot...
Copy !req
103. and it keeps the cool stuff cool.
Copy !req
104. Wow. Fantastic.
Copy !req
105. Material made from self-regulating
unstable molecules.
Copy !req
106. I've been working on a formula for this.
Copy !req
107. Great minds think alike.
Copy !req
108. - Here you go, Ben.
- Thanks, sweetie.
Copy !req
109. Reed.
Copy !req
110. Nine hours.
Copy !req
111. If you're good, maybe next time
Daddy'll let you drive.
Copy !req
112. You keep talking
and there won't be a next time.
Copy !req
113. Long way from the projection booth
at the Hayden Planetarium, isn't it?
Copy !req
114. Yes. Yes, it is.
Copy !req
115. We can monitor the cloud's approach
and observe the tests from here.
Copy !req
116. Is it safe?
Copy !req
117. The shields on the station
should protect us.
Copy !req
118. Should?
Copy !req
119. What's the matter, Ben?
Getting paranoid in your old age?
Copy !req
120. Let's start loading those samples.
Get your suit ready, Ben.
Copy !req
121. So I see you're still doing
all the heavy lifting.
Copy !req
122. Maybe you should have stayed in the lab.
Fieldwork never suited you.
Copy !req
123. He does the talking, I do the walking.
Got it?
Copy !req
124. So take a walk, Ben.
Copy !req
125. Actually, if you'll all excuse me,
I need to borrow Susan for a moment.
Copy !req
126. Sure.
Copy !req
127. Please tell me your guy's not trying
to rekindle things with my sister again.
Copy !req
128. Of course not. It's strictly business.
Copy !req
129. Yes, well, his eyes say differently,
don't they?
Copy !req
130. Two hearts got busted last time.
Maybe she's not over it, either.
Copy !req
131. Wow, Dr. Phil, that's deep.
Let's think about that.
Copy !req
132. You got Victor, more money than God,
stud of the year.
Copy !req
133. And you got Reed, world's dumbest smart
guy, worth less than a postage stamp.
Copy !req
134. That's a real toss-up.
Copy !req
135. Don't trouble your tiny little mind.
Copy !req
136. Don't wander off now, boy.
Copy !req
137. Securing airlock chamber.
Copy !req
138. Surprised I agreed to Reed's proposal?
Copy !req
139. I understand the business reasons.
Copy !req
140. Well, when you're looking at your future...
Copy !req
141. it doesn't hurt
to find closure about the past.
Copy !req
142. Susan, every man dreams he'll meet
a woman he can give the world to.
Copy !req
143. In my case, it's not just a metaphor.
Copy !req
144. Opening viewing station shield.
Copy !req
145. That can't be right.
Copy !req
146. Event threshold
in T-minus 9 minutes, 47 seconds.
Copy !req
147. That's impossible.
It should be seven hours.
Copy !req
148. We've been together two years now.
Copy !req
149. It's been a good two years, Victor.
The company's accomplished so much.
Copy !req
150. Right, of course, the company.
Copy !req
151. But, you see, I've come to realize that
all the accomplishments in the world...
Copy !req
152. mean nothing without someone
to share them with.
Copy !req
153. I've lived my life
unafraid of taking big steps.
Copy !req
154. Now it's time to take the biggest step
of all.
Copy !req
155. - Victor.
- If it helps, think of this as a promotion.
Copy !req
156. - Victor, I...
- I have four words.
Copy !req
157. Four little words that can change
our lives forever.
Copy !req
158. The cloud is accelerating.
Copy !req
159. We've got minutes until it hits, not hours.
Copy !req
160. Victor, that storm is deadly.
We need to abort.
Copy !req
161. Get a grip, Reed. We didn't come all this
way to lose our nerve at the first glitch.
Copy !req
162. Just close the shields.
Copy !req
163. - Ben is still out there.
- So reel him in.
Copy !req
164. But we came here to do a job,
so let's do it quickly.
Copy !req
165. Victor, Reed's right.
We have less than six minutes!
Copy !req
166. - Ben, you need to get inside now.
- What's going on?
Copy !req
167. I ain't done
arranging your flowers yet, egghead.
Copy !req
168. Ben, turn around!
Copy !req
169. Guys, I'm not gonna make it.
Copy !req
170. Ben, you gotta jump. It's the only way!
Copy !req
171. - What are you doing?
- Closing the shields.
Copy !req
172. - You can't just leave them out there.
- Watch me.
Copy !req
173. - You can't help them any more than I can.
- I can try.
Copy !req
174. Come on, Ben, you got it!
Copy !req
175. Okay, Johnny,
get ready to close the portal.
Copy !req
176. Wake up. Ben.
Copy !req
177. Rise and shine, big boy. How you feeling?
Copy !req
178. Where am I?
Copy !req
179. Back on Earth. We're in quarantine.
Victor's medical facility.
Copy !req
180. Reed? Sue?
Copy !req
181. They're fine. Everybody else is fine.
Copy !req
182. What's wrong with me?
Copy !req
183. I swear to you, Ben. They've done
everything humanly possible.
Copy !req
184. The best plastic surgeons
in the world are here, Ben.
Copy !req
185. You had the best.
Copy !req
186. - Give me that mirror.
- I don't know if that's a good idea.
Copy !req
187. - They said the shock alone...
- I said give me that goddamn mirror!
Copy !req
188. Okay, Ben, just be strong.
Copy !req
189. Unfortunately, the doctors
just couldn't do anything to fix your face.
Copy !req
190. - Hi.
- Hey.
Copy !req
191. Nice do. I'm liking the grandpa look.
Copy !req
192. What?
Copy !req
193. - How's she doing?
- Stable and her vitals are strong.
Copy !req
194. Blood panels show no irradiation. Good.
Copy !req
195. - You'll step up this protocol every...
- Every four hours, yes.
Copy !req
196. We know what we're doing.
Copy !req
197. Another day of observation
and you're all clear.
Copy !req
198. Excuse me.
More flowers from Mr. Von Doom.
Copy !req
199. She's allergic to orchids.
Copy !req
200. Put the sunflowers by her bed,
they're her favorites.
Copy !req
201. Well, Victor...
Copy !req
202. the bank would like to congratulate you...
Copy !req
203. on the fastest freefall
since the Depression.
Copy !req
204. We can't even give your stock away.
Copy !req
205. Ned, you know I can turn this around.
Copy !req
206. Well, you're going to have to, Victor,
or we pull out.
Copy !req
207. You have a week.
Copy !req
208. You're enjoying this, aren't you, Ned?
Copy !req
209. One week.
Copy !req
210. Where do we think we're going?
Copy !req
211. I don't know if we've noticed...
Copy !req
212. but the sickest runs this side of the Alps
are right outside that window.
Copy !req
213. Yeah, I've noticed,
but there are rules here.
Copy !req
214. - You can't leave until we...
- Until we've finish the tests.
Copy !req
215. I know, I've never been good with rules.
You let me know how those come out.
Copy !req
216. - Do you wanna help me with this zipper?
- You know, this is not a ski resort.
Copy !req
217. Not yet. Luckily, Grandma still sends
care packages, though.
Copy !req
218. You know, it's amazing, for an 80-year-old
woman, you'd be surprised...
Copy !req
219. - You are trouble.
- Trouble is my middle name.
Copy !req
220. You're hot!
Copy !req
221. Why, thank you. So are you.
And I'm not afraid to cry.
Copy !req
222. No, I mean, you feel a little feverish.
Copy !req
223. Well, I've never felt better in my life.
My God, you smell good.
Copy !req
224. Listen, when do you get off work?
Copy !req
225. - 4:00, but I...
- Tell you what.
Copy !req
226. You meet me at 4:01
at the top of the mountain.
Copy !req
227. That'll give you a minute to freshen up.
This is yours, that's mine.
Copy !req
228. Nurses!
Copy !req
229. How long was I out?
Copy !req
230. Hey.
Copy !req
231. Three days. Man, I was worried about you.
Copy !req
232. - How are you feeling?
- Solid.
Copy !req
233. - That was a close one, though, huh?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
234. - What was that about?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
235. I really don't know.
Copy !req
236. I've been going over the figures
again and again and they all add up.
Copy !req
237. I just don't understand.
Maybe I should have aborted...
Copy !req
238. Reed, it was a freak of nature.
You couldn't have possibly predicted it.
Copy !req
239. Let it go.
Copy !req
240. You know, you live through
something like this...
Copy !req
241. it really makes you appreciate
having the right woman in your life.
Copy !req
242. - Yeah, you and Debbie are perfect.
- I'm not talking about Debbie.
Copy !req
243. What? Come on.
Copy !req
244. She's got a good thing with Victor.
Copy !req
245. He's smart, he's powerful,
he's successful...
Copy !req
246. Well, maybe you should date him then.
Copy !req
247. Ben, she ended up with the right guy.
Copy !req
248. Things worked out for the best.
Copy !req
249. Do I have to do everything myself?
Copy !req
250. All right.
I think you should stay to the right.
Copy !req
251. The left might give you trouble.
Copy !req
252. - I think we should drop, like, 10 more feet.
- Good.
Copy !req
253. Last one down springs for room service!
Copy !req
254. That's my future wife.
Copy !req
255. You're losing!
Copy !req
256. All right, no more kid's stuff.
Copy !req
257. Check this out.
Copy !req
258. You're on fire.
Copy !req
259. Thanks! You're pretty good, too.
Copy !req
260. No, you're on fire. Look!
Copy !req
261. Care to join me?
Copy !req
262. I can only stay for one drink
'cause I have to meet Victor.
Copy !req
263. Well, wouldn't want to keep Vic waiting.
Copy !req
264. Reed, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
265. I thought...
Copy !req
266. Great! Maybe you can join us.
Copy !req
267. How's the IPO now?
Copy !req
268. It's falling. We're looking at low 20s.
Copy !req
269. It's a good number
considering the fallout from...
Copy !req
270. From Reed's disaster?
Copy !req
271. Get me on the a. M. Shows,
Larry King, the cover of the Journal.
Copy !req
272. I have to do something about this scar.
Copy !req
273. Make sure they only shoot me
from my left side.
Copy !req
274. Actually, the scar's tracking well.
Copy !req
275. People seem to think it humanizes you.
Copy !req
276. And that's a good thing?
Copy !req
277. You know,
maybe you should get some rest.
Copy !req
278. Later.
Copy !req
279. First, I have some unfinished business.
Copy !req
280. A deal that needs closing.
Copy !req
281. Sir, I have always wondered, why Sue?
Copy !req
282. You could have any other woman
in the world.
Copy !req
283. That's why.
Because I could have any other woman.
Copy !req
284. - No, let me tell the story.
- No, let him tell the story.
Copy !req
285. - You all right?
- Yeah, bad shrimp.
Copy !req
286. I think I better go lie down.
Copy !req
287. Excuse me.
Copy !req
288. Oh, God!
Copy !req
289. So, you feeling better?
Copy !req
290. Yes, thank you.
Copy !req
291. Good.
Copy !req
292. That's... good.
Copy !req
293. You always had a way with words.
Copy !req
294. Wow. I should be going because...
Copy !req
295. I have to meet Victor.
Copy !req
296. I'm really happy for you and Victor.
Copy !req
297. You're really happy for me and Victor?
Copy !req
298. I can tell you guys are enjoying
what was the best part of our relationship.
Copy !req
299. - Which was?
- Passion...
Copy !req
300. for science.
Copy !req
301. You're such a dork, Reed.
Copy !req
302. You never got it...
Copy !req
303. - and you never will...
- Well, what did I say?
Copy !req
304. unless it's explained to you
in quantum physics.
Copy !req
305. I just wanted to let you know that I...
Copy !req
306. It's been two years,
and all you can say is that you're happy...
Copy !req
307. for me and some other guy?
Copy !req
308. Victor may be a lot of things.
Copy !req
309. But at least he's not afraid
to fight for what he wants.
Copy !req
310. It's nice to be wanted sometimes, Reed.
Copy !req
311. To be seen and heard.
Copy !req
312. Look at me.
Copy !req
313. I can't.
Copy !req
314. What do you mean, you can't?
Look at me!
Copy !req
315. Sue, look at your hands!
Copy !req
316. Hey, you guys.
Copy !req
317. You are never gonna believe
what just happened to me.
Copy !req
318. What?
Copy !req
319. Well, I can explain this.
Copy !req
320. It has to be the cloud.
It's fundamentally altered our DNA.
Copy !req
321. Let's not jump to conclusions.
Copy !req
322. We need a massive amount of evidence
before making that leap.
Copy !req
323. Guys, look!
Copy !req
324. Now, picture that, but everywhere.
Copy !req
325. It was everywhere.
Copy !req
326. What?
Copy !req
327. The cloud has fundamentally altered
our DNA.
Copy !req
328. - Cool!
- We need to find Ben.
Copy !req
329. And you know what, guys?
I think I was flying.
Copy !req
330. I said, cut it out, Johnny.
Copy !req
331. I'm getting the hang of it.
Copy !req
332. - Ben, it's Reed.
- Stop.
Copy !req
333. - All right.
- All right?
Copy !req
334. - Yes.
- God!
Copy !req
335. - God?
- What's wrong with you?
Copy !req
336. - What?
- Sue, do you know the code?
Copy !req
337. I might.
Copy !req
338. Ben, open up.
Copy !req
339. You all right, Ben?
Copy !req
340. Does somebody have keys to these doors?
Copy !req
341. Anybody?
Copy !req
342. Just break the glass. It can't be that thick.
Copy !req
343. Give me another couple of seconds, guys.
I almost got it.
Copy !req
344. That's gross.
Copy !req
345. Ben?
Copy !req
346. Look.
Copy !req
347. What is that thing?
Copy !req
348. What's going on?
Copy !req
349. What happened in here?
Copy !req
350. Victor, are you feeling all right?
Copy !req
351. I'm fine. Just a few scrapes, that's all.
Copy !req
352. Ben did this.
Copy !req
353. He's had some kind of reaction
to exposure from the cloud.
Copy !req
354. We all have different symptoms.
Copy !req
355. Symptoms?
Copy !req
356. - Victor, I should have...
- Just find him.
Copy !req
357. Anybody got any ideas
where the big guy's going?
Copy !req
358. He's going home.
Copy !req
359. You gotta be kidding me.
Copy !req
360. Little buttons.
Copy !req
361. Hello, Operator?
Copy !req
362. - Hello?
- Debs?
Copy !req
363. - It's me.
- Ben?
Copy !req
364. Are you all right?
You sound a little different.
Copy !req
365. - Listen, I need you to come out front.
- Out front?
Copy !req
366. You're home, baby?
Copy !req
367. Yeah.
Copy !req
368. I got a surprise for you.
Copy !req
369. Yeah, I got a little one for you, too.
Copy !req
370. Ben?
Copy !req
371. Where are you?
Copy !req
372. I'm over here.
Copy !req
373. Don't come any closer for a sec, okay?
Copy !req
374. It's gonna be a bit of a shock.
Copy !req
375. Honey, what's going on?
Copy !req
376. Debs...
Copy !req
377. remember when we used to say...
Copy !req
378. together forever no matter what?
Copy !req
379. Yeah.
Copy !req
380. Well...
Copy !req
381. Baby, you're scaring me.
Copy !req
382. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
383. Deb, it's me. It's still me.
Copy !req
384. It was the accident. Let me explain.
Copy !req
385. - No! Don't touch me!
- Debs!
Copy !req
386. I'm calling the police.
Copy !req
387. Everybody all right?
Copy !req
388. I saw him. It's that guy over there!
Copy !req
389. Okay, so he was there last night.
Copy !req
390. Debbie's gonna meet us
on the other side of the bridge.
Copy !req
391. Yeah, Ben.
Copy !req
392. "A few days in space. It'll be great.
Copy !req
393. "What's the worst that could happen?"
Copy !req
394. Hey, little guy.
Copy !req
395. You're not afraid of me, are you?
Copy !req
396. Perfect.
Copy !req
397. Thanks.
Copy !req
398. Hey!
Copy !req
399. You think you've got problems?
You take a good look, pal.
Copy !req
400. How bad could it be, right?
Copy !req
401. I don't think you...
Copy !req
402. Okay, pal. Take it easy.
No, don't go out there.
Copy !req
403. Look, I said stop, you fruitcake!
Copy !req
404. No. Come close.
Copy !req
405. That's further. Come closer.
Copy !req
406. I said, stop! No!
Copy !req
407. Come here.
Copy !req
408. All right, calm down.
Copy !req
409. You wanna be scared?
Copy !req
410. - Fine!
- No!
Copy !req
411. Get back, everybody!
Copy !req
412. Get back in your vehicle.
We'll tell you when you can go.
Copy !req
413. - What do we do now?
- We're not going to get past these guys.
Copy !req
414. But you could.
Copy !req
415. Sorry about the truck, pal. Come on.
Copy !req
416. A little help, here?
You wanna hit the button, sir?
Copy !req
417. It's stuck.
Copy !req
418. Sue, your clothes. Lose them.
Copy !req
419. Right.
Copy !req
420. This is so wrong.
Copy !req
421. - Wow, you've been working out.
- Shut up!
Copy !req
422. All right.
Copy !req
423. All right, freeze!
Copy !req
424. Now just...
Copy !req
425. Just put the man in the seat down.
Copy !req
426. Do it!
Copy !req
427. Any more great ideas?
Copy !req
428. Why don't you strip down
and have a 100 people stare at you?
Copy !req
429. - Sue.
- What?
Copy !req
430. I'm gonna need therapy.
Copy !req
431. Come on, let's get out of here.
Copy !req
432. Excuse me. Coming through.
Copy !req
433. All right, now just back away from him.
Copy !req
434. And I want you to put your hands
on your head...
Copy !req
435. 954 approaching scene.
Copy !req
436. I still can't believe you made me do that.
Copy !req
437. We got through, didn't we? Just find Ben.
Copy !req
438. Ben!
Copy !req
439. Mum.
Copy !req
440. Stay here, okay?
Copy !req
441. I'm coming.
Copy !req
442. Hold on.
Copy !req
443. Hang on!
Copy !req
444. I got you.
Copy !req
445. Get down on the ground.
Copy !req
446. Get down on the ground now!
Copy !req
447. Ben.
Copy !req
448. I swear to you...
Copy !req
449. I will do everything in my power...
Copy !req
450. until there is not a breath left in me.
Copy !req
451. You're going to be Ben again.
Copy !req
452. I told you I felt fine.
Copy !req
453. Where are your ears?
Copy !req
454. There are some folks outside
that want to talk to you.
Copy !req
455. We're not going public with this.
Copy !req
456. We're scientists, not celebrities.
Copy !req
457. It's too late, son.
Copy !req
458. Look.
Copy !req
459. when a New York Fire Department
ladder truck...
Copy !req
460. See that?
Copy !req
461. became part of the tragedy.
Copy !req
462. But the rescue itself is not the story.
Copy !req
463. One of the four stretched
to an amazing length...
Copy !req
464. That's what they're calling you.
"The Fantastic Four. "
Copy !req
465. - Cool.
- No, wait! Where are you going?
Copy !req
466. I'm gonna go talk to them.
Copy !req
467. No, we should think this through.
Copy !req
468. That's great. Brainstorm.
Copy !req
469. Get back here, right now. Johnny!
Copy !req
470. Settle down.
Copy !req
471. Do you believe this?
Copy !req
472. Which one of you is the leader?
Copy !req
473. That would be me.
Copy !req
474. No, seriously.
Copy !req
475. Okay, son. You're on.
Copy !req
476. During our recent mission
to the Von Doom space station...
Copy !req
477. we were exposed to
as yet unidentified radioactive energy.
Copy !req
478. - What happened on the bridge?
- How can you stretch?
Copy !req
479. - Were you really on fire?
- Is it true you can fly?
Copy !req
480. Yeah, I'm working on it.
It's actually really difficult.
Copy !req
481. No, actually, we do not know
much more than you do at this point.
Copy !req
482. Sir, Larry King just cancelled.
Copy !req
483. Apparently, there's a bigger story.
Copy !req
484. Actually, here they come now.
You had to see it to believe it, folks.
Copy !req
485. The man...
named The Fantastic Four...
Copy !req
486. We'll be going directly to our lab
to diagnose our symptoms.
Copy !req
487. Symptoms? Is this some kind of disease?
Copy !req
488. No. It's not a disease.
Copy !req
489. If having special powers is a disease,
then, yeah, we got it bad.
Copy !req
490. Excuse me,
that thing doesn't look so fantastic.
Copy !req
491. Ben Grimm is a genuine American hero.
Copy !req
492. What he means is,
every team needs a mascot.
Copy !req
493. A new day is dawning.
The day of The Fantastic Four.
Copy !req
494. Look!
Copy !req
495. We went up to space
to find a way to understand DNA...
Copy !req
496. cure disease, save lives.
Copy !req
497. Well, now it's our DNA, our disease,
our lives on the line.
Copy !req
498. Thank you. No more questions.
Copy !req
499. This is how you turn things around?
Copy !req
500. These freaks on the front page?
Your company's in the obituaries?
Copy !req
501. I was planning to use the publicity.
Copy !req
502. The board's in agreement,
the bank's lost enough already.
Copy !req
503. - Wait a minute.
- It's too late, Victor.
Copy !req
504. Do you know how much money
I've invested in this company?
Copy !req
505. Victor, stop.
Copy !req
506. This isn't a negotiation. It's a notification.
Copy !req
507. We're pulling out.
Copy !req
508. Is all that for you, Dr. Richards?
Copy !req
509. I'm afraid so.
Copy !req
510. Come on, Ben, smile.
They want to like you, Ben. Say hi.
Copy !req
511. Don't do drugs.
Copy !req
512. Welcome back to the Baxter, Dr. Richards.
Copy !req
513. I've got the usual for you.
Copy !req
514. Good to have you back, sir.
Copy !req
515. Thanks, Willie.
Copy !req
516. We had a tough year.
Copy !req
517. Yeah, like nine straight.
Copy !req
518. Either we're moving really fast
or not at all.
Copy !req
519. I'll take the stairs.
Copy !req
520. How come Ben can't turn it on and off
like we can?
Copy !req
521. That's what we're here to find out.
Copy !req
522. I mean, if it happened to him...
Copy !req
523. What? You mean, like, we won't be able
to turn it off, either?
Copy !req
524. That would save time.
Copy !req
525. You don't really wanna walk around on fire
for the rest of your life, do you?
Copy !req
526. - Is that a trick question?
- Grow up.
Copy !req
527. Come on.
Am I the only guy who thinks this is cool?
Copy !req
528. We should stay here until we can define
the extent of our changes...
Copy !req
529. and figure out how to reverse them.
Copy !req
530. But I have to warn you, it's gonna be
a little crowded in some areas.
Copy !req
531. So, what do you think?
Copy !req
532. I don't know, Reed, I think you might be
bringing your work home with you.
Copy !req
533. Come on. Let me show you guys
where you'll be staying.
Copy !req
534. Busy guy.
Copy !req
535. Mr. Von Doom, would you like to comment
on the recent failure of your IPO?
Copy !req
536. What about the rumors of a takeover?
Copy !req
537. God, I was so worried about you.
Copy !req
538. Victor. I'm sorry
I didn't get a chance to call.
Copy !req
539. Please.
Copy !req
540. No apologies.
Copy !req
541. I've arranged for your things to be moved
to one of my condos.
Copy !req
542. You'll have round-the-clock care.
Copy !req
543. Thank you. That's very generous of you.
Copy !req
544. But I think I should stay here
with my brother...
Copy !req
545. until we get a handle on things.
Copy !req
546. Susan, I think you should let my doctors
have a look at you.
Copy !req
547. Victor, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
548. I'm starting to wonder the same thing.
Copy !req
549. How much do you know
about what happened to you?
Copy !req
550. Not much.
Copy !req
551. We need to run tests
to see the extent of the damage.
Copy !req
552. Well, you let me know what I can do.
We're all in this together now.
Copy !req
553. Victor, wait.
Copy !req
554. I just wanted to say I'm sorry
the mission didn't go as planned.
Copy !req
555. Didn't go as planned?
It was a catastrophe.
Copy !req
556. You ruined the lives of four people.
Copy !req
557. With all due respect, we're both to blame.
I told you to abort.
Copy !req
558. Abort?
Copy !req
559. I put my company, my name,
billions of dollars on the line.
Copy !req
560. I will not let you make me look like a fool.
Copy !req
561. Victor, if we can understand...
Copy !req
562. I don't wanna understand it!
This isn't one of your science projects!
Copy !req
563. I just wanna fix it. Fast!
Copy !req
564. Is there a problem?
Copy !req
565. No.
Copy !req
566. No problem, Ben.
Copy !req
567. Just pay your damn electric bill
and get to work on finding a cure.
Copy !req
568. He's heating up from his core.
Copy !req
569. And his vitals are completely normal.
Copy !req
570. If we're going to identify
the source of the mutation...
Copy !req
571. we need to isolate
your recombinant DNA...
Copy !req
572. so we can activate positional genomes.
Copy !req
573. We have to do a physical
in order to see what got zapped.
Copy !req
574. Why didn't you just say so?
Copy !req
575. His internal organs are completely solid.
Copy !req
576. How bad is it?
Copy !req
577. You know, I used to smoke.
Copy !req
578. It's not invisibility per se.
Copy !req
579. You should be able to bend light
around other objects, even people...
Copy !req
580. if you could control
your emotional state better.
Copy !req
581. Excuse me?
Copy !req
582. I'm saying, if you had a little more
self-control, you could locate the trigger.
Copy !req
583. Can you remember your exact emotions
on the bridge?
Copy !req
584. Anger.
Copy !req
585. Rage.
Copy !req
586. Frustration.
Copy !req
587. Okay. Is there any way
to duplicate that feeling?
Copy !req
588. Some memory or...
Copy !req
589. I'm sure I can come up with something.
Copy !req
590. - You feel anything?
- Nope.
Copy !req
591. Okay.
Copy !req
592. It's hotter than I anticipated.
Copy !req
593. - Okay, Johnny, back it down.
- I can go hotter!
Copy !req
594. Johnny, just back it down.
Copy !req
595. - Johnny, back it down right now!
- Johnny!
Copy !req
596. Buzz kill!
You guys are cramping my style.
Copy !req
597. Johnny, you were at 4,000 Kelvin.
Copy !req
598. Any hotter
and you're approaching supernova.
Copy !req
599. - Sweet!
- No, not sweet!
Copy !req
600. That's the temperature of the sun.
Copy !req
601. Not only could you kill yourself...
Copy !req
602. but you could set fire
to Earth's atmosphere...
Copy !req
603. and destroy all human life as we know it.
Copy !req
604. Got it. Bad.
Copy !req
605. How's that coming?
Copy !req
606. - I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
- Yeah, fine.
Copy !req
607. - You sure?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
608. I...
Copy !req
609. You probably thought
that was some form of latent hostility.
Copy !req
610. What in the world
would give me that idea?
Copy !req
611. I mean, you broke up with me, right?
Copy !req
612. - Are you kidding?
- No.
Copy !req
613. I distinctly remember,
you walked out my door, ergo...
Copy !req
614. I was ready for the next step, you weren't.
Ergo, I walked.
Copy !req
615. I think it was a little bit more
complicated than that.
Copy !req
616. I just wanted to share an apartment.
What was so complicated about that?
Copy !req
617. - There were a lot of variables to consider.
- No, there weren't.
Copy !req
618. There was you and me.
There were no variables, no math.
Copy !req
619. It was actually
the simplest thing in the world.
Copy !req
620. But like always, Reed,
your head got in the way.
Copy !req
621. - No, it didn't.
- Then what was it?
Copy !req
622. Did you feel anything when I left?
Copy !req
623. Do you feel anything right now?
Copy !req
624. Hey, guys.
Copy !req
625. I think we have a serious problem.
Copy !req
626. So what's the prognosis?
Copy !req
627. Your tissue, your organs, your entire
biophysical structure is changing.
Copy !req
628. Every system is still functioning somehow.
Copy !req
629. And it's changing into?
Copy !req
630. I don't really know.
Copy !req
631. Some kind of organic-metallic alloy...
Copy !req
632. stronger than titanium or carbon steel,
harder than diamonds.
Copy !req
633. Like the shields
Reed said would protect us.
Copy !req
634. How long?
Copy !req
635. At this rate, the infection could be
complete in two, maybe three weeks.
Copy !req
636. What do you mean complete?
Copy !req
637. I wish I could tell you.
Copy !req
638. I can't pretend to know
what we're dealing with here.
Copy !req
639. I'll have to notify the CDC.
Copy !req
640. - What?
- Centre for Disease Control.
Copy !req
641. I know what it is.
Copy !req
642. If this thing is contagious, we may have
a big problem on our hands.
Copy !req
643. We're talking about an epidemic here.
Copy !req
644. Look at me.
Copy !req
645. I have a life.
Copy !req
646. I'm the face of a billion-dollar company.
Copy !req
647. We need to keep this confidential.
Copy !req
648. Victor, this disease is progressive,
degenerative. I have to notify someone...
Copy !req
649. That's terrible news.
Copy !req
650. But I think I'll get a second opinion.
Copy !req
651. Our uniforms were exposed
to the storm, like us.
Copy !req
652. So they can transform like us.
Copy !req
653. Becoming invisible, changing size on
demand or remaining impervious to flame.
Copy !req
654. You guys look like an '80s rock band.
Copy !req
655. You know, Ben, this material stretches.
Copy !req
656. I'm sure I can figure out a way
to make it fit.
Copy !req
657. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that.
Copy !req
658. I love these costumes. They're missing
something, though. Needs, like, spice.
Copy !req
659. They're not costumes.
Copy !req
660. You can't use your powers in public,
Johnny.
Copy !req
661. - You guys are worse than NASA.
- You could burn somebody.
Copy !req
662. Maybe it's missing a utility belt.
Copy !req
663. Here you go, there's your change.
Copy !req
664. Can I help you, buddy?
Copy !req
665. - Oh, my.
- It's Sue Storm, it's the Invisible Woman!
Copy !req
666. Sue Storm, it is you.
Listen, my kid loves you!
Copy !req
667. I can't believe I'm doing this again.
Copy !req
668. Reed, we really can't go outside anymore.
Copy !req
669. We are on the cover of every publication
from People...
Copy !req
670. All right, I'm here, let's make this quick.
I got a lot of places to go today.
Copy !req
671. Oh, wait. I don't go anywhere.
Copy !req
672. Johnny, it's imperative that we stay inside
for the foreseeable future.
Copy !req
673. I know, but when you said that last time,
my brain heard "a week. "
Copy !req
674. Johnny, it's too dangerous
for you to be in public.
Copy !req
675. You've been saying that for years.
Copy !req
676. What worries me is
that our powers are evolving.
Copy !req
677. I know!
Copy !req
678. I am so close to flying, guys, I can taste it.
Copy !req
679. - You can't fly.
- Yet.
Copy !req
680. Johnny, can you put that napkin out?
Copy !req
681. Jesus.
Copy !req
682. So what's going on, Reed?
How're you going to cure us?
Copy !req
683. I'm going to build a machine
to recreate the storm.
Copy !req
684. The cosmic rays will travel
from this generator to this chamber.
Copy !req
685. What, no pop-ups?
Copy !req
686. - If I can reverse the wave signal...
- It'll return us back to normal.
Copy !req
687. Right. But what are the risks?
Copy !req
688. Even a small miscalculation could increase
our symptoms exponentially...
Copy !req
689. or perhaps even kill us.
Copy !req
690. Now, dying. That's bad, right?
Copy !req
691. I say we just let sleeping dogs lie, guys.
Copy !req
692. So how long
till this contraption's up and running?
Copy !req
693. - I don't know, it's hard to say.
- How long, Reed?
Copy !req
694. - I don't know.
- You don't know?
Copy !req
695. - You don't want this to get worse.
- Worse than that?
Copy !req
696. Guys, look, we're gonna be stuck here
for a while, so let's just try and get along.
Copy !req
697. - You could knock!
- Sorry!
Copy !req
698. Johnny!
Copy !req
699. More bad news for Von Doom Industries
today as Ned Cecil announced...
Copy !req
700. that his group of investors
would seek to gain control...
Copy !req
701. of Victor Von Doom's numerous
technology companies.
Copy !req
702. Earlier, the IPO was pulled
from the market...
Copy !req
703. after the steady decline
of its projected opening price.
Copy !req
704. Von Doom Industries was never able
to overcome the negative publicity...
Copy !req
705. Interesting.
Copy !req
706. Hello?
Copy !req
707. Victor?
Copy !req
708. What's with these lights, huh?
Copy !req
709. About the IPO, no hard feelings, right?
Copy !req
710. Nothing personal.
Copy !req
711. You know, you could always move back
to Latveria.
Copy !req
712. Start fresh.
Copy !req
713. Maybe that's where you belong,
the old country.
Copy !req
714. Nothing personal, Ned.
Copy !req
715. But I'm not going anywhere.
Copy !req
716. assassinated the competition
everywhere this season.
Copy !req
717. Truly unbelievable.
The crowd is going nuts here at the arena.
Copy !req
718. I tell you, if there's anybody out there
who can do what these guys do...
Copy !req
719. we dare you to come on down here.
Look at this spread-eagle...
Copy !req
720. no arm, back of the seat.
Motorbike grab, landed...
Copy !req
721. I got to get out of here.
Copy !req
722. Hey, pretty boy, let's see what you got.
Copy !req
723. Where's your hot sister and the monster?
Copy !req
724. Let's go!
Copy !req
725. All right.
Copy !req
726. I want you all to make a lot of noise
now for a very special guest.
Copy !req
727. Mr. Johnny Storm
from The Fantastic Four!
Copy !req
728. Look at that lift!
Copy !req
729. That was fantastic!
Copy !req
730. But, Johnny, come on. That's old school.
Copy !req
731. Show us something new.
Copy !req
732. Something new.
Copy !req
733. You got it.
Copy !req
734. Come on, Johnny, come on!
Copy !req
735. Is he flying?
Copy !req
736. Wait, no!
Copy !req
737. That's dangerous.
Copy !req
738. I'm okay, I'm all right, I'm good.
Copy !req
739. He's okay! He's all right!
Copy !req
740. Johnny Storm, ladies and gentlemen!
Copy !req
741. I have to give you props, Johnny!
You were on fire!
Copy !req
742. - He didn't.
- Oh, yes, he did.
Copy !req
743. - Flame Boy never listens.
- What did he do to his uniform?
Copy !req
744. Johnny, I've gotta ask you
about this outfit.
Copy !req
745. Yeah, it's sort of
Armani meets astronaut.
Copy !req
746. So what are your superhero names?
Copy !req
747. They call me The Human Torch.
Ladies call me Torch.
Copy !req
748. What about the rest of the team?
Copy !req
749. - That's the Invisible Girl.
- Girl?
Copy !req
750. What about your leader, Reed Richards?
I hear you call him Mr. Fantastic.
Copy !req
751. - Could've been worse.
- I guess.
Copy !req
752. Is it true what they say about him that
he can expand any part of his anatomy?
Copy !req
753. Well, I've always found him
to be a little limp.
Copy !req
754. What is that?
What do you call that thing?
Copy !req
755. That's it. The Thing.
Copy !req
756. Yeah, you think this is bad,
you should have seen him before.
Copy !req
757. Okay. Now I'm gonna go kill him.
Copy !req
758. There he is.
Copy !req
759. - Johnny!
- Can we talk about this later, guys?
Copy !req
760. - No. We can't talk about this later.
- We can do this at home.
Copy !req
761. - What are you thinking?
- Where's my ride?
Copy !req
762. You think that's funny, Pebbles?
Copy !req
763. - Johnny!
- What?
Copy !req
764. You gave us names? You don't think.
Copy !req
765. So now you're the face
of The Fantastic Four?
Copy !req
766. A face that's about to be broken!
Copy !req
767. Look, this isn't permanent, Johnny.
Copy !req
768. We need to be careful
until we're normal again.
Copy !req
769. What if I don't wanna be normal?
I didn't turn into a monster!
Copy !req
770. Ben!
Copy !req
771. Did you just...
Copy !req
772. Johnny, stop it.
Copy !req
773. - That's it, Tinkerbell!
- No, Ben.
Copy !req
774. You wanna fly? Then fly!
Copy !req
775. Wait a minute, guys! Ben, don't do this!
Copy !req
776. Let's see if we can get blood
from a stone.
Copy !req
777. Let's see. Bring it, burnout!
Copy !req
778. You two need a time-out!
Copy !req
779. Talk to blockhead, he started it.
Copy !req
780. I don't care. Damn it, Johnny.
Copy !req
781. Ben, wait!
Copy !req
782. What?
Copy !req
783. You need to control yourself
and think before you act.
Copy !req
784. Yeah, but see, that's your problem.
You always think, you never act.
Copy !req
785. What if we got these powers for a reason?
What if it's like some higher calling?
Copy !req
786. A higher calling?
Like getting girls and making money?
Copy !req
787. Is there any higher?
Copy !req
788. You know what, Reed?
This is who we are.
Copy !req
789. Accept it.
Copy !req
790. Or better yet, enjoy it.
Copy !req
791. Wait, Ben, slow down. He didn't mean it.
Copy !req
792. You know Johnny.
He's always been a hothead.
Copy !req
793. It ain't him. It's them!
Copy !req
794. I can't live like this.
Copy !req
795. Just give Reed a little more time.
You know how he works.
Copy !req
796. Analyzing every little step
before he takes one.
Copy !req
797. - It's easy for you to be patient.
- No, it's not!
Copy !req
798. I thought I was done waiting for Reed,
but I...
Copy !req
799. - We're all in this together, Ben.
- Together?
Copy !req
800. Susie, look at me.
You got no idea what I'd...
Copy !req
801. What I'd give to be invisible.
Copy !req
802. Thank you, gentlemen.
Copy !req
803. I'm just gonna pick up a few things...
Copy !req
804. for some friends.
Copy !req
805. Perfect.
Copy !req
806. That's not funny.
Copy !req
807. This is Ben Grimm here.
Copy !req
808. The first mook from Brooklyn
to go into outer space.
Copy !req
809. So pay him some respect.
Copy !req
810. Just give me the usual and I'm out.
Copy !req
811. All right.
Copy !req
812. - Make it a double.
- Make it a triple.
Copy !req
813. - Put it on my tab, Ernie.
- All right, Alicia.
Copy !req
814. Appreciate it.
Copy !req
815. No problem.
Copy !req
816. It's okay, Ben.
Copy !req
817. If there's a God, he hates me.
Copy !req
818. She is not so into hate.
Copy !req
819. If you could see me,
you wouldn't be saying that.
Copy !req
820. Then let me see you.
Copy !req
821. Can I?
Copy !req
822. - Careful.
- It's okay.
Copy !req
823. So sad.
Copy !req
824. You know,
being different isn't always a bad thing.
Copy !req
825. Trust me. This ain't one of them times.
Copy !req
826. Not if you don't want it to be.
Copy !req
827. - All right, Ernie, I'm out of here.
- I'll take you.
Copy !req
828. See you later, Benny.
Copy !req
829. I'm Alicia, by the way.
Copy !req
830. Thanks, Ernie.
Copy !req
831. Reed got what he wanted.
Copy !req
832. And everything he wanted...
Copy !req
833. he took from me.
Copy !req
834. Now it's time to take it back.
Copy !req
835. But first,
I need to get rid of his bodyguard.
Copy !req
836. This seat taken?
Copy !req
837. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
838. I was worried about you.
Copy !req
839. You were worried about me?
That's sweet.
Copy !req
840. Come on.
Let me buy you something to eat.
Copy !req
841. Looks like you could use the company.
Copy !req
842. Reed?
Copy !req
843. - I was just resting my eyes.
- So I see.
Copy !req
844. The new readouts look very promising.
Copy !req
845. Not promising enough.
Copy !req
846. When are the next tests?
Copy !req
847. I've run out of plans.
Copy !req
848. So I was thinking maybe...
Copy !req
849. There's always me.
Copy !req
850. No. It's too soon.
Copy !req
851. - Reed?
- I should get back to work.
Copy !req
852. - You need a break.
- Sue, not now, please.
Copy !req
853. Come on. Let's go.
Copy !req
854. Remember this place?
Copy !req
855. Of course. This is where
I first asked you out.
Copy !req
856. I think that it was me
that asked you.
Copy !req
857. Right.
Copy !req
858. You can be a little intimidating.
Copy !req
859. You know a girl can grow old
waiting for you to take charge.
Copy !req
860. - We can't be as bold as...
- As who? Victor?
Copy !req
861. You know, there is no me and Victor.
Copy !req
862. Never was.
Copy !req
863. Well, I guess that's what
I thought you always wanted.
Copy !req
864. A stronger man.
Copy !req
865. I did, Reed.
Copy !req
866. But I wanted you to be that man.
Copy !req
867. Why didn't you say so?
Copy !req
868. I guess, it, kind of, would
have defeated the purpose.
Copy !req
869. But I'm saying it now.
So take charge.
Copy !req
870. That's not fair.
Copy !req
871. Excuse me.
Copy !req
872. I know it's not easy.
Copy !req
873. Life hasn't changed that much for Reed,
Sue, or Johnny.
Copy !req
874. At least they can still go out in public.
But for you...
Copy !req
875. If you're trying to cheer me up,
you're doing a hell of a job.
Copy !req
876. You know what I mean, Scarface?
Copy !req
877. I'm just saying I know what it's like
to lose something that you love...
Copy !req
878. to see it slip away
and know it's never coming back.
Copy !req
879. Look.
Copy !req
880. Reed is gonna fix me up, okay?
Copy !req
881. For your sake I hope you're right.
Copy !req
882. Look, he's a brilliant man.
Copy !req
883. We should all trust
that he's working as hard as he can.
Copy !req
884. You're his best friend.
Copy !req
885. So what possible reason could he have
for taking his time?
Copy !req
886. I mean, other than spending
more time with Sue.
Copy !req
887. - Wow, I had no idea.
- It's true.
Copy !req
888. Yeah.
Copy !req
889. I have that effect on people.
Copy !req
890. Ben.
Copy !req
891. So you remember my name now, do you?
Copy !req
892. Do you also remember
what you swore to do...
Copy !req
893. with every breath in your body?
Copy !req
894. We're working as hard as we can.
Copy !req
895. Yeah. I can tell.
Copy !req
896. - Victor was right.
- Victor?
Copy !req
897. Ben, I don't know if this thing
will change us back or make us worse.
Copy !req
898. I need you to be patient
for a little while longer.
Copy !req
899. Reed, look at me!
Copy !req
900. I am looking.
That's why I can't make a mistake.
Copy !req
901. I've gotta get it right and it's not right yet!
We need to test it!
Copy !req
902. I spent my whole life protecting you,
and for what?
Copy !req
903. So you can play Twister
with your girlfriend...
Copy !req
904. while I'm the freak of the week?
Copy !req
905. Ben, stop it!
Copy !req
906. - You stay out of this, Susie!
- Stop it, or I will.
Copy !req
907. Get off me, rubber boy!
Copy !req
908. You guys, quit it.
Copy !req
909. Calm down!
Copy !req
910. Good thing you're flexible enough
to watch your own back.
Copy !req
911. 'Cause I ain't doing it no more.
Copy !req
912. You two are on your own.
Copy !req
913. Look what the marketing guys gave me.
Copy !req
914. Look, check it out, listen.
You're gonna love this.
Copy !req
915. It's clobbering time!
Copy !req
916. It's catchy, right?
Copy !req
917. Isn't that great?
Copy !req
918. That was the prototype.
Copy !req
919. - Johnny, have you seen Ben?
- Yeah, Sunshine just left.
Copy !req
920. Look, Sue, I'm sorry.
I can't stand this freak show.
Copy !req
921. - I gotta get back to the real world.
- You're calling that the real world?
Copy !req
922. Sue, stop. You're not Mum.
Don't talk to me like I'm a little boy, okay?
Copy !req
923. Maybe I would
if you stopped acting like one.
Copy !req
924. Do you even hear yourself?
Who do you think you are?
Copy !req
925. Why is everyone on my ass?
If you guys are jealous, that's fine.
Copy !req
926. I didn't expect it
to come from you, though.
Copy !req
927. You really think those people out there
care about you?
Copy !req
928. You're just a fad to them, Johnny!
Copy !req
929. Let's try something new.
You live your life, I'll live mine.
Copy !req
930. Sound good?
Copy !req
931. And just for the record, they love me!
Copy !req
932. Oh, God. Reed.
Copy !req
933. Oh, my God, Reed. What did you do?
Copy !req
934. - I can make it work.
- No!
Copy !req
935. I need more power to control the storm.
Copy !req
936. More power?
Copy !req
937. - You need a doctor. Come with me.
- Sue.
Copy !req
938. - One more try...
- You need to rest.
Copy !req
939. Leonard, bring me our lab rat.
Copy !req
940. Ben. Come in.
Copy !req
941. What is this? Where's Reed?
Copy !req
942. Where do you think? With Sue.
Copy !req
943. I'll take it from here, Leonard.
Copy !req
944. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
945. What do you want, Vic?
Copy !req
946. To help you.
Copy !req
947. The machine is ready.
Copy !req
948. But Reed said it wouldn't...
Copy !req
949. He also said we'd avoid
that storm in space...
Copy !req
950. but we all know how that turned out.
Copy !req
951. He couldn't generate enough power
for the machine to reach critical mass.
Copy !req
952. Yet another mistake for Mr. Fantastic.
Copy !req
953. - And you can?
- Yes.
Copy !req
954. Tell me...
Copy !req
955. do you want to be Ben Grimm again?
Copy !req
956. Thank you.
Copy !req
957. Vic?
Copy !req
958. Vic, it worked.
Copy !req
959. Everyone thought I was safe
behind those shields.
Copy !req
960. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
961. The machine worked for me.
It can work for you, too!
Copy !req
962. It did, Ben. It worked perfectly.
Copy !req
963. - You planned this.
- I've always wanted power.
Copy !req
964. Now I have an unlimited supply.
Copy !req
965. And no Thing to stand in your way.
Copy !req
966. Take a good look, Ben.
Copy !req
967. This is what a man looks like
who embraces his destiny.
Copy !req
968. One down, three to go.
Copy !req
969. Vic?
Copy !req
970. Right on cue.
Copy !req
971. Ben?
Copy !req
972. - What did you do?
- Exactly what I said I would.
Copy !req
973. I built a better, stronger being.
Copy !req
974. And outsmarted the great Reed Richards.
Copy !req
975. If you've exposed yourself to the storm,
you're endangering your life.
Copy !req
976. - You need help.
- You always know best.
Copy !req
977. So tell me, what happens
when you superheat rubber?
Copy !req
978. No!
Copy !req
979. Mr. Von Doom, are you okay?
Copy !req
980. Never better, Jimmy.
Copy !req
981. Why the long face? Let's talk in my office.
Copy !req
982. Ben.
Copy !req
983. Sue!
Copy !req
984. Johnny, the machine worked!
Copy !req
985. Give me a hand. Come on.
Copy !req
986. Get his arm.
Copy !req
987. You all right, Ben? Put him on the step.
Copy !req
988. What happened, big guy?
I leave you for five minutes...
Copy !req
989. The machine.
Copy !req
990. Vic used it on himself.
He was affected by the cloud like us.
Copy !req
991. - Where's Reed?
- Vic must have taken him.
Copy !req
992. Dr. Richards,
allow me to begin your lesson.
Copy !req
993. Chemistry 101.
Copy !req
994. What happens to rubber
when it's supercooled?
Copy !req
995. Give up?
Copy !req
996. That's not like you, Reed.
Copy !req
997. After all, we're both doctors.
Copy !req
998. Painful?
Copy !req
999. You don't know the meaning of the word.
Copy !req
1000. Just a little something
from our defense contracts.
Copy !req
1001. Let's check in on the rest of the family,
shall we?
Copy !req
1002. We gotta get out of here!
Copy !req
1003. Wait a minute. I got an idea!
Copy !req
1004. - Don't even think about it.
- Never do.
Copy !req
1005. What are you doing? Johnny, no!
Copy !req
1006. Come on, flame on!
Copy !req
1007. We have to help Reed.
Copy !req
1008. It's too dangerous for you now.
You have to stay here.
Copy !req
1009. What did I do?
Copy !req
1010. Come on, think!
Copy !req
1011. Two down, two to go.
Copy !req
1012. Sue.
Copy !req
1013. - What has he done to you?
- How romantic.
Copy !req
1014. Victor, please.
Copy !req
1015. Call me Doom.
Copy !req
1016. The machine works. It worked on Ben,
it can work on you. We can turn you back.
Copy !req
1017. Do you really think fate turned us
into gods so we could refuse these gifts?
Copy !req
1018. Victor, you always thought
you were a god. Now back off.
Copy !req
1019. Susan, let's not fight.
Copy !req
1020. No. Let's.
Copy !req
1021. Susan, you're fired!
Copy !req
1022. Marco.
Copy !req
1023. Polo.
Copy !req
1024. Did you say goodbye
to your brother Johnny?
Copy !req
1025. It's time to end this!
Copy !req
1026. No, Vic. It's clobbering time.
Copy !req
1027. Damn, I've been waiting to do that.
Copy !req
1028. Susie, you okay?
Copy !req
1029. Victor ain't that bad, huh?
Copy !req
1030. "He's just a little larger than life," right?
Copy !req
1031. Maybe next time
you'll listen to me before...
Copy !req
1032. Ben!
Copy !req
1033. - Sorry, ladies.
- Stop the car!
Copy !req
1034. Pull over. Hit the brakes!
Copy !req
1035. This is the police.
Copy !req
1036. Put your hands up
and step down from the vehicle!
Copy !req
1037. Take him out!
Copy !req
1038. Ladies, I'm gonna need
to borrow your car.
Copy !req
1039. - The transmission sticks.
- Not gonna be a problem.
Copy !req
1040. I can't let you do that!
Copy !req
1041. Reed?
Copy !req
1042. I'll be right with you.
Copy !req
1043. Hello, Susan.
Copy !req
1044. You three are pathetic.
Copy !req
1045. You missed me.
Copy !req
1046. Had a little relapse, huh?
Copy !req
1047. - Welcome back.
- This is gonna be fun.
Copy !req
1048. I can't hold it!
Copy !req
1049. Johnny, supernova!
Copy !req
1050. I thought we agreed that was bad.
Copy !req
1051. Now!
Copy !req
1052. - Ben!
- Gotcha.
Copy !req
1053. Sue! Think you can contain it?
Copy !req
1054. Flame on, kid.
Copy !req
1055. Is that the best you can do?
Copy !req
1056. Time for your lesson. Chem 101.
Copy !req
1057. What happens
when you rapidly cool hot metal?
Copy !req
1058. Ben!
Copy !req
1059. You done good, kid.
Copy !req
1060. Come on.
Copy !req
1061. Sue, you okay?
Copy !req
1062. Yeah.
Copy !req
1063. Man, I love this job.
Copy !req
1064. Job, huh?
Copy !req
1065. Well, we do have the suits.
Copy !req
1066. Ladies, your drinks.
Copy !req
1067. - I don't think we need another.
- Just one more.
Copy !req
1068. Thank you, thank you so much. Cheers!
Copy !req
1069. I need names and shots.
Copy !req
1070. Bartender!
Copy !req
1071. They're custom-made, 36 EEEE.
Copy !req
1072. Well, look. I've been crunching
the numbers on the machine.
Copy !req
1073. And I think if I can rework
the power settings...
Copy !req
1074. Forget about it, egghead. I'm good as is.
Copy !req
1075. Better than good, baby.
Copy !req
1076. You just need to work on your touch.
Copy !req
1077. I like the sound of that.
Copy !req
1078. - Can I talk to you for a second?
- Sure.
Copy !req
1079. Thanks.
Copy !req
1080. I found a broken gasket from space.
Copy !req
1081. A gasket?
Copy !req
1082. - Reed, come on, we're at a party.
- And if one of us were to wear it...
Copy !req
1083. No more thinking.
Copy !req
1084. No more variables.
Copy !req
1085. Sue Storm...
Copy !req
1086. will you marry me?
Copy !req
1087. Sue, you kind of need to say something.
Copy !req
1088. Yes.
Copy !req
1089. That's my nose, genius. These are my lips.
Copy !req
1090. She's kissing him.
Copy !req
1091. That's so cute.
Copy !req
1092. About time, you guys.
Copy !req
1093. No more wisecracks about the way I look.
Copy !req
1094. Call me Mr. Sensitivity.
Copy !req
1095. Okay. Wide load coming through.
Everybody move, he's huge.
