"I'll kill you if I get the chance."
Who gave it to you?
I don't know. A girl.
Do you mind if I get in?
I could never figure out why anybody
would want to steal 10,000 gallons of gas.
Hold on.

It's that thing again!

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.

Hi. Hi.
Where you headed?
North. Carson City.
I don't usually do this, but you look trustworthy.
Hop in.
Thanks.
I really appreciate the ride. It was getting pretty hot out there.
Oh. It always does this time of the year.
You don't live in Nevada?
No. Yeah.
You coming up from Vegas?
Yeah.
What's a guy like you doing hitchhiking?
I didn't have the money for a bus.
All right. That's a good reason.
Vegas.
Does that to a lot of people.
Oh, yeah.
You wanna make $10?
My boyfriend, he works at the warehouse up there
and it's his birthday today.
And I bought him this really funny birthday card,
and I thought it would be really terrific that if all his friends
could be around to see his face when he opens it.
What? You mean you want me to deliver it?
Yeah.
It sounds a little weird,
but I think it'll be much funnier then if it were delivered
by somebody that he didn't know instead of me.
Well, look, I'd be happy to deliver it for you. You don't have to pay me.
Oh, no, please. Really. It'll make me feel much better. Honest.
Okay. Oh, that's great.
It's only up here about a mile or so.
Well, this is it.
You sure you remember everything?
Uh, yeah.
I'm to look for the man with the dark hair and the mustache,
and he's not to open the card
until everyone's gathered around.
Right.
And then I'm gonna come down
and give him a big birthday kiss.
Here's your $10.
I really appreciate this.
Thank you.
DAVlD: Excuse me.
Hi. I'm looking for a guy with dark hair and a mustache.
You talking about Ted?
Well, I don't know his name but he's the boss.
Ted.
What do you need him for?
I have a letter for him
and all the guys are supposed to be around
when he opens it.
How come?
Don't ask me. I'm just a mailman.
Oh, there he is.
Come on. Okay.
Everybody's supposed to watch him open it?
Mmm-hmm.
Hey! Hey, you guys, come over here for a second.
MlKE: Come on.
MlKE: Hey, Ted.
What's going on?
This guy says he's got a delivery or something for you.
It's an envelope for you.
Who's it from?
I think it says inside.
Where did you get this?
What does it say?
"I'll kill you if I get the chance."
Who gave it to you?
I don't know. A girl.
What girl?
The one that picked me up. I was hitch...
Where is she? Right there.
She was just there.
I said, where is she?
I don't know.
That's not an answer.
Well, look, I don't know anything about this.
You know, you better start coming up with some better answers.
And quick. You got that?
I don't even know what this is about.
Hey, start talking.
I don't know any more than that.
Well, then we'll see. Hold him.
(HORN HONKlNG)
MlKE: Hey, look at that!
TED: That's our truck!
Who's in it?
I don't know, but run quick. Let's get out of here.
MAN 1: Look out.
Run, run!
MAN 2: The driver's a maniac.
(MEN SHOUTlNG)
Who's driving? Who's driving?
Some woman!
We got stuff loaded in that truck already?
Yeah. We've got to stop her.
What are you doing?
Look out!
Damn it. I missed one.
(MUMBLlNG)
Damn!
Oh, no.
Look what she did to my car!
TED: All right. We'll take my car. Come on.
Help me push this.
Get over here and get this thing pushed over.
And get that milk truck loaded and get it out of here.
What about my car?
Oh, come on. Just push, will you?
All right. No!
Shut up and push!
Are they coming?
I imagine they will be.
Yeah.
Why'd you steal their truck?
What are you talking about? I didn't. This is mine.
Yours?
Yeah, they stole it from me.
They stole it from you?
(SlGHlNG) I think there's an echo in here.
I'm just trying to catch up, that's all.
Yeah, I know. Let's just hope they don't.
Yeah.
TED: There. There, they're going up the hill.
Come on, come on, move that car.
MlKE: What about my car?
My dad and I put a lot into this rig, you know.
I mean, souping up the engine,
customizing it.
Those jerks had to come and hijack us.
Big, big tough guys, you know.
Four against one little old man.
I mean, they beat him up, you know, real bad.
He's in the hospital back in Reno.
And I was on my way back to Tonopah when I saw the truck.
They've really done a number trying to disguise it
but I recognized it.
Why didn't you just go to the police?
I went back looking for a phone but I couldn't find one.
And I was afraid those guys would've moved the truck
before the cops could get there.
Oh! So you used me as a diversionary tactic?
Yeah.
Hmm.
I would've called the police for you.
Hey, listen, mister, I don't trust anybody, you know?
I've been tromped on too many times.
Don't you think we're gonna get tromped on when they catch up with us?
Wonderful.
TED: Give me the gun.
What gun?
It's in here somewhere.
Look, there she is.
They're catching up with us awfully fast.
Tissue paper, chewing gum, your maps. No gun!
TED: It's there.
TED: Here we go.
That chick can really drive that rig.
Find the gun! I want you to shoot out one of their front tires.
Well, you'll have to pull up beside them.
Yeah, yeah! Just find the gun.
Look under the front seat.
TED: All right. Come on! Come on!
(GROANlNG)
All right, now I got them.
MlKE: What's going on, man?
(LAUGHlNG)
Hey, man, what are you doing?
TED: Hang on.
Gun!
All right, now blow out one of those tires.
(GUN COCKlNG)
I think we got them now.
We've got them?
(CLlCKlNG)
The gun. It's not loaded.
I don't believe it! The glove compartment.
All right, man, there's nothing but gums in here.
What's she doing?
I'm gonna teach them to mess with me.
What?
I'm gonna teach them to mess with me.
Get the bullets, will you?
I can't find them!
Look in the tool box in the back seat. Come on, come on.
She's almost on top of us. Hurry up!
MlKE: I'm trying, I'm trying.
TED: She's really moving.
(THUDDlNG)
MlKE: What was that?
Take it easy, Ted, will you?
TED: What's taking so long?
I can't find the bullets!
(SlGHlNG)
Here she comes again.
MlKE: What's going on up there?
What are you doing?
TED: Hang on.
(MlKE SCREAMlNG)
(HORN BLARES)
(MUMBLES)
Watch for a phone.
Oh, I will.
I found them.
Come on, come on.
We gotta get some gas.
You fellas oughtn't to drive that fast.
Yeah. No real damage.
Radiator hose doesn't look too good though.
Later. We gotta get that truck back.
People drive that fast get themselves hurt.
Yeah. Right, lady.
Here you go. Keep it.
And make sure it's loaded this time, huh?
Drive carefully now, you hear?
I don't see them.
Do you? No.
They probably dinged themselves up pretty good on that fence.
It serves them right, the creeps.
You handle this rig pretty well.
You ought to see me downshift.
Where did they hijack you anyway?
About a 100 miles south of here.
Did you have insurance?
Yeah. They pay up pretty good for accidents, but if it's stolen...
You mean, they wait a while to see if it turns up?
A while?
Like, maybe until you're too old to drive anymore or too bankrupt.
My dad and I couldn't have held out anymore.
What were you hauling?
JOANlE: Gasoline.
I could never figure out why anybody
would want to steal 10,000 gallons of gas.
I mean, beer, maybe, but gas?
I mean, for the same trouble, they could've stolen
a truckload of something really expensive.
Maybe they wanted the truck.
Yeah, maybe.
What for?
I mean, a tankload of anything isn't worth that much.
What?
A tankload of anything isn't worth that much.
Well, they sure seem anxious to get it, though, don't they?
They ain't gonna.
Hmm.
JOANlE: Just what the doctor ordered. Gas and a telephone.
Hi, there.
A mighty little lady to be driving such a big rig.
And you're a mighty cute little fella
to be hanging out in the middle of nowhere, pops.
Now, listen, do me a favor,
fill this thing up with $10 worth of diesel, okay?
Sure thing.
Pardon me. Yeah?
Do you have a pay phone here?
Right inside there. There you are.
But it's broke.
Where's the next nearest one?
At McHugh's, five miles down.
Been down there twice myself,
trying to get a repairman to come fix my phone.
But the phone company around here is the pits.
I've been thinking of investing in a tin can and a piece of string.
JOANlE: I know what you mean.
This rig yours?
You better believe it. Always was, always will be.
Looks like it could use a wash.
It could use a lot more than that.
I'll get it back into shape.
What are you carrying?
To tell you the truth, I'm not sure.
Hey! What's this?
What's what?
What is that?
A computer component.
A what?
A very expensive computer component.
It's full of them.
Yeah, it sure is.
And I bet they were gonna fill this full of gasoline
and then put it back in here so if anybody looked in...
They'd just think it was full of gas. That's right.
I remember about a guy who was carrying those things last week.
He got hijacked and his truck just disappeared.
Really?
Well, maybe they used your gasoline to burn it up.
I think you ought to make that phone call now.
I think you're right.
Here you go, pops. $10, thanks a lot.
Okay.
You want me to go with you?
No. It's okay.
Hey, listen, I'm really sorry you got hassled.
Ah.
I don't even know your name.
David.
I'm Joanie.
Hi.
Bye.
Oh, my bag.
Yeah.
Thank you. Take it easy.
Drive careful.
You got any soft drinks?
Right inside.
(BlRDS CHlRPlNG)
Thank you.
MAN: Sure thing.
JOANlE: Get away, freak. Get...
(JOANlE GRUNTlNG)
TED: Okay, let's get back to the plant.
JOANlE: Get your hands off of me.
(CAR STARTlNG)
(JOANlE GRUNTS)
(JOANlE SCREAMS)
TED: Come on, get her out of the truck.
MlKE: She won't come.
Then pull her out.
JOANlE: Let go of me. Get your hands off...
MlKE: (GRUNTlNG) Hey, man, she bit me.
Then bite her back.
JOANlE: Get your hand...
All right. God, would you cool it!
...and now I can get out of here myself.
MlKE: Come on! Hey.
TED: All right, put her over there, will you?
...I can do it myself.
I know you can, I know you... Would you come on?
Cool it, lady. You don't want this to hurt anymore than it has to.
JOANlE: I am warning you, don't you dare get near me. You jerk.
Let go.
TED: Come on, lady. Make it easy on yourself, huh?
(PHONE RlNGlNG)
MAN: (ON PHONE) If you've checked your directory
and are unable to find the number you wish, please stay on the line
and a directory assistance operator will answer. Thank you.
(SlGHlNG)
JOANlE: Let go of me!
WOMAN: (ON PHONE) May I help you?
Yes. This is an emergency. I have to have the police.
I can't do that, sir. What?
I don't have anyway to dial out here.
I don't believe it.
It's true, sir. I'm not equipped to...
Look, a woman may be killed.
Sir, hang up and dial operator.
I already tried that. There isn't any answer!
There should be, sir. There isn't!
What is your location, sir?
I don't know. It's a warehouse over somewhere on Route 21 1.
What is the number on your telephone?
(SlGHlNG) 7-8...
I can't read the rest of it. It's scratched out.
Why don't you try the operator again, sir?
I'm sure if you'll just wait for a few...
Look, look! Do you have the number of the police?
Yes, but there are several of them. Can you tell me what area...
(STUTTERlNG) I don't care, any number. Just give me any one of them.
5-5-5
2-3-4-5.
All right, now look. Now look.
(STUTTERlNG) Look, the operator, when I called her,
I didn't get my dime back.
So could you please connect me to that number?
I'm not equipped to do that, sir, but if you'll just hang up...
JOANlE: Let go of me!
WOMAN: (ON PHONE) Please deposit 25 cents for the first three minutes.
I don't have 25 cents!
(WOMAN CHATTERlNG ON PHONE)
Is everything...
Sir, hello. Are you there?
(GROWLlNG)
Damn it! Damn it! Let go!
What are we gonna do with her?
Knock her out. Then she's gonna have a little accident.
Go ahead.
(HULK GROWLlNG)
(SCREAMlNG)
Hit him! Hit him!
(GROWLlNG)
Let's go.
Hey. Hey! No. No!
What is that thing?
Never mind him.
Where's the girl?
There! There! Up there!
Hey! Hey, mister. Wait!
Hey, wait! Wait a minute!
MlKE: Look out for my car! Not my car... Oh, no.
(HULK GROWLlNG)
Where did she go?
She must have ducked off the road somewhere.
David? David! David, come on!
We've got to find a phone!
David.
David, are you all right? What's the matter with you? Come on!
Oh, my God. They turned around. Will you hurry up?
What's the matter... Will you get in?
Will you just get in?
What happened? And how'd you get up here anyway?
In this car. I saw them take you.
You came back to help me?
Yes.
Why?
Thanks.
That creature attack you too?
I had an attack, yes.
I really have to buy shirts that stretch.
What?
Oh, nothing.
JOANlE: Why is there never a cop when you need one?
That looks like...Iike her right up ahead there.
Look, a phone!
What are you doing?
Joanie, there's no time. Will you...
What...
DAVlD: Get back in here! Joanie!
We have to get out of here.
When you're right, you're right!
Come on, pull the door.
MlKE: Come on. We're catching up. We're catching up!
Come on, baby. Come on.
Come on, baby. Come on, let's get them.
Come on. Yeah, we got them now, baby.
JOANlE: David, the train! Cut in front of the train.
(HORN BLARlNG)
Hang in there, Ted.
There. Go down there. There's a new section of road.
What good will that do?
It's got a steeper grade.
There. There, to the right!
They can't go as fast uphill.
Come on! Come on!
I've got it floored now. What do you want me to do?
(ENGlNE SPUTTERlNG)
What's wrong? Why are you slowing down?
I'm not. Something's wrong.
We're overheating.
The radiator hose must be leaking!
(SlZZLlNG)
JOANlE: They're starting to catch up.
Come on, baby. Come on, baby. Come on!
Come on, please!
Come on!
Come on, David. We gotta make it!
Come on!
Come on. We're gonna do it.
DAVlD: All right!
I told you. I told you!
Damn!
That's all right. That's all right. We got them now.
We got them, we got them.
Oh, thank God we made it over the top.
Yeah, so did they.
Now it's our turn to run them into the ground.
They're gaining!
Come on! We can get them, we can get them.
We got them, we got them. We'll get them.
Hold on.
(TlRES SCREECHlNG)
(CHUCKLlNG) We got them, baby.
(ENGlNE SPUTTERlNG)
MlKE: Hang in there, Teddy.
David. Listen, I want you to know that if we ever get...
Thanks.
(STUTTERlNG) What I wanna say is,
thank you for hanging in there.
I mean, nobody except my father ever cared about me.
I really appreciate it.
(TlRE BLOWlNG)
JOANlE: David!
(TlRES SCREECHlNG)
Joanie? Joanie!
No! No, not now.
We got them! We got them now! Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I see them. I see them.
(GROWLlNG)
Oh, my God. It's that thing again!
Yeah, well, he ain't gonna get away this time. I'll tell you that.
He's gonna try to hide behind that pole over there! What the hell!
This is some freak.
Look at this guy.
We got him now. We got him.
Man.
Stop! Will you stop? I'm trying. I'm trying.
I'm trying.
MlKE: No, no. My God. Watch it!
No! No, no. Stop! Stop!
Jump out!

My leg's broken, Mike. Get up and help me.
Mike. Mike?

Mike?
(GROANlNG)
Mike, wake up. Mike?
David, I thought...
Come on.
We've got to get down the highway and get some help.
At least we came out alive.
Yeah.
MAN: Good to see you again.
Nice seeing you.
Say, Joanie, you really ought to talk to
or look for that reporter guy, McGee.
He's around here talking to people like you who saw the big creature.
Okay. I'll watch out for him. Thanks.
Okay. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
By the way, thank you for the clothes.
Hey, are you kidding?
After all you went through for me,
a few new clothes is the least I could do.
I'm just sorry I couldn't afford more.
Look, I think until you get your insurance money,
you better save every penny you can. What about that reward?
Oh, it's coming, too, in a couple of weeks.
Those guys really had some operation.
Mmm.
And, David. Mmm-hmm.
I'd like to share that reward with you.
That'd be nice, but I really have to leave.
I'd like to share more than that with you.
How about lunch?
That's a start.
(CHUCKLlNG) Yeah.
