The Incredible Hulk (1978) s03e11 Episode Script

David is no thief.
I think he purposely mismarked the stock.
Why? Case the store for some kind of heist.
I do want all the money.
Why, you good for nothing I'll be good for plenty.
I trusted you.
How were you planning on opening this thing? If I can get out of that elevator shaft I can get into that vault.
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.
I put four months into this job.
Worked in that store as a stock clerk, just so I could make all the plans from the inside.
I've got every detail figured.
It's perfect.
No surprises.
It's perfect, huh? Uh-huh.
I'm gonna take care of you.
You're gonna take care of me, huh, little brother? Hey.
We're gonna work together and you're gonna stay with me and you're never gonna go back to any cell again.
Look, Gary, I know you put a lot of time into this plan Jim.
Jim.
Nothing's gonna go wrong.
You're not going back to prison.
I promise you that.
Yeah, well, that's a promise I've already made to myself.
Here you are, kid.
No.
We don't need that.
Take it.
Three strikes, you're out of the inning, but four strikes, you're out of the game.
All right.
It's almost closing time.
Let's go over this thing once more.
All right.
All right.
Look.
We go in the northwest entrance.
Here.
When they lock up and everybody's gone home.
We'll go down these steps to the basement.
Raymond, isn't it about time for you to be heading home? Well, good evening, Mr.
Bishop.
I'm on overtime, just like you.
I can sure use the extra money.
I know what you mean.
You too, eh? Special duty chaperoning you and Miss Karen Mitchell.
This is probably the one night she won't need any protecting though.
Thank you, I think.
If she was to be alone with that Mr.
Edwards Mmm-hmm.
it'd be another matter.
Know what you mean.
And what about the alarms? The alarm We disable 'em here along with the phones.
Where's the safe? Safe, right here.
At least $250,000 in receipts.
Just a traditional combination lock.
Easy.
Like the ones in the hall we used to bust into at P.
S.
105.
Left, right, left.
Yeah, P.
S.
105.
Okay, kid, I guess we better get moving.
Right.
That whole time that you were locked up, it's like I was, too.
I was just doing time, taking odd jobs, packing, digging, whatever I could get.
Just passing time, just waiting for you to get out.
Well, Gary, I'm grateful that somebody was thinking about me all those years.
But you know, kid, you should have been going about your own business.
I mean, you shouldn't have wasted your life worrying about me.
No, us working together.
That was my dream all those years.
Look, if this thing isn't perfect, your doing time won't be a dream.
I mean, those bars are real, very real.
Take my word for it.
Okay, let's go.
Slater's is proud to announce its annual anniversary sale, starting Friday the 14th.
Help us celebrate 60 years of service to Philadelphia.
If you haven't yet, please take the time to visit Slater's ground floor exhibit of Venetian crystal.
This retrospective features exquisite crystal dating back to the 13th century.
No night shift? No.
No guards? Uh-uh.
What about dogs? No, I told you, it's all computerized.
Yeah, I know.
It's perfect.
Hi, David.
Hello, Karen.
I'm afraid we're going to be here all night long re-marking that stock.
I'm positive we're going to be.
I happened to be the stock clerk on duty when Mr.
Edwards misread the inventory code.
I tried to explain that 5-0 was really the inventory number, not the price, but he wouldn't listen.
Well, Mr.
Edwards does not take very well to being told he's wrong.
No, he doesn't.
You know, David, sometimes I can be telling him something about stock or how I think a particular display should be handled, and even if I know I'm right, he can talk me out of it.
He's a very persuasive man.
It's not that.
He just intimidates me.
Sometimes he gets me so crazy I don't even know what color the sky is.
Oh, come on, Karen, everyone knows what color the sky is.
The sky is Ask Mr.
Edwards, I don't know Your attention, please.
The store will be closing in 20 minutes.
Thank you for shopping at Slater's and do come again.
Good night.
Come in.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Come in, Karen.
Close the door.
Did you want something? Oh, it really wasn't anything important, Mr.
Edwards.
I just wanted to tell you that David and I will be re-marking the stock in ladies' wear.
Unbelievable, the wasted man-hours because those boys in the stockroom can't read the code.
I think with David's help, we'll be able to get it done in a couple of hours.
I was just going to tell Raymond about "helpful" David.
Mr.
Edwards wants me to keep an eye on him tonight.
Keep an eye on him? I think he purposely mismarked the stock.
Why? To get overtime.
All in the store after-hours.
Oh, come on, all of that for time-and-a-half? No.
To steal, or maybe case the store for some kind of heist.
Mr.
Edwards, I've seen a lot of employees come and go.
David is no thief.
Even you said a man of his caliber working in the stockroom was very unusual.
Very unusual.
I offered David a promotion to sales and he turned it down.
A man doesn't turn down a promotion, a raise in pay and a commission for no reason.
That'll be all.
Oh, Karen, stay a minute, will you? Your attention, please.
The store will be closing in 15 minutes.
Thank you for shopping at Slater's and do come again.
Not necessary, big brother.
I got the real thing.
Getting a key could tip them off.
Clay mold, two minutes in the manager's office.
You see, I do my homework.
Okay, big brother, now, I want you to take a look at this.
Alarm system, telephone lines.
And we're right on schedule.
You know, Karen, I'm going to talk to Mr.
Slater about that promotion for you.
Oh, thank you, Mr.
Edwards.
Why don't you come over to my place when you're through here and we'll talk strategy.
Thank you very much, but I think I'm really gonna need some sleep when I get off tonight.
I keep telling you, Karen, fashion is like any other business.
If you want to get ahead, you need the right people behind you.
You ought to try and be friendlier to the right people.
Friendlier? Yes.
Why don't you come over? I won't be able to see Mr.
Slater until you and I have talked strategy.
Why don't you let me think about it? I'm leaving now, why don't you call when you're through here? It's my home phone.
And Karen, good night.
Good night.
Good night.
Good night.
Okay, the alarms are bypassed.
And that takes care of the calls to the outside.
What about the inside calls? We're the only ones here.
Take it easy.
I told you before, it's perfect.
Gary, I've yet to see the perfect crime.
Karen.
I'm sorry.
How's our Jesse James doing? It's just not right spying on David like this.
I tell you what, Raymond, I'm gonna be working with him all night long.
I'll keep an eye on him.
Mr.
Edwards told me to do that.
I'll tell you what, if he even looks like he's gonna steal so much as a pair of socks, I promise I'll holler.
I don't know.
Oh, come on, Raymond, with the echo in this place you're probably gonna be able to hear me all the way to ladies' lingerie.
All right.
I'll take a once-around the store.
But I tell you that man is not a thief.
All of those mismarked too? Every single one of them.
Fifty dollars! I told you.
Mr.
Edwards may know an awful lot about cash receipts and budgeting, or advertising, but the man does not know wool from corduroy.
Look at this display.
What's the matter with it? Well, it's last year's brown.
Oh.
I wish he wouldn't insist on doing everything himself all the time.
You know, it would be absolutely wonderful, if just once somebody would tell that man that he is just a store manager and not a king.
What do you think? Yeah, that's better.
Much, much better.
I mean, last year's brown.
Look, I need the code sheet.
Oh, it's hanging in the stockroom.
Okay, I'll be right back.
There's a motion detector.
See, if we didn't take care of the alarm system, we'd be hearing sirens coming down the street.
Shh! Karen? Uh-huh.
Karen.
Hello.
Night shift.
Guards.
I wonder where they keep the dogs.
Move out.
See it? Right there.
Oh, no! I swear! None of this was here a month ago.
There There was a safe, a safe that had a lock that turns.
Left, right, left, huh? It was put in a couple of weeks ago.
Lots of crime in the area.
The immediate area.
All right.
Open it.
I can't.
What do you mean, you can't? He can't.
The vault is on electronic time lock.
Nobody can open it until tomorrow morning.
What are you talking about? You have to have an entry code and only the manager knows it.
You've just been promoted.
Open it.
Now! I am not the manager.
Only he can open the vault.
There's no one here besides me and Raymond.
I don't know what's going on here! Why don't you shut up? What are we gonna do? We can't get the money until the morning.
We stay till morning.
You worked here four months, huh? I had it all checked out.
Do you know them? I've seen 'em around.
He's harmless, she's a saleslady in the dress department.
Harmless.
Gary, there's no such thing as a harmless witness.
If you know them, they probably know you.
I had a beard.
My hair was cut real short.
Yeah, but if they can remember your face later on, they can tie you to an address, or to a Social Security number, and to me.
More night shift or another guard? Who's out there? Probably just the dogs.
Wait here.
I'll check it out.
Raymond! He's just seen too many Pat O'Brien movies.
Aren't you smart enough to be afraid of a gun? Yes.
I'm scared to death.
All right, well, then just stay quiet and things will work out.
They haven't so far.
Things will work out.
Hold it.
Get in.
Move! Piece of junk.
Get in.
You can't be serious.
Didn't you see that sign upstairs? This elevator's under repair! Just relax and keep your mouth shut.
But it was slipping as we were coming down in it.
You know that! I'm doing you a favor by keeping you in here.
The cable's slipping! What happened? What have you done to him? When I heard the crash, I ran back.
Is he all right? The force of the crash blew out the wall.
The elevator was wrecked.
There was nothing left of him.
He's dead? Shut up.
You killed him? It was an accident.
An accident that wouldn't have happened if you hadn't been robbing the store, you murderer Keep an eye on him.
Hold it! He said it was an accident.
I believe him.
You're an accessory and that makes you just as guilty as your brother for David's death.
Calm down.
It seems the reports of my death were grossly exaggerated, or at least a little premature.
Oh, David! You're alive.
I have enough friends right now, thank you.
They're holding us here until Edwards opens up the vault in the morning.
That's dumb.
What? Dumb.
I mean, your idea of waiting until tomorrow morning.
That's really a lousy fallback position, unless you're planning on getting caught.
What are you talking about? Raymond, didn't you clue them in? The manager doesn't come in and open the safe alone.
He comes with a cashier, two security guards.
Now, you better have a better plan.
Like I have.
When I found you upstairs, you didn't look like a man with a plan to me.
Oh, I had one.
Until you two jokers made your appearance.
If I can get out of that elevator shaft, I can get into that vault.
Okay, how were you gonna get into the vault if you weren't gonna wait until morning? Well, I wasn't going to use my bare hands.
Well, then how? Oh, no, not for free.
We are now all together.
I take a third.
Then I show you how to get to the money.
Well? Do we have a deal or not? Jim's already got a partner.
Yeah, I know.
Me.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I thought perhaps he'd like to have another one.
We don't even know this guy.
He might want all the money.
Shut up.
Let him talk.
He's right.
He's right.
I do want all the money.
But since you have all the artillery, I'll settle for half or a third.
It depends on family ties.
Why, you good for nothing Wrong, Raymond.
I'll be good for plenty after tonight.
At least a good night on the town.
I trusted you.
"Hell hath no fury " Do you know she'd believe me if I told her the sky is red? All right, all right.
Let's get to it.
How are you planning on opening this thing? Well, there's an override on the time lock.
It's a very good piece of equipment.
Mmm-hmm.
How does this override work? Just push a few buttons on the terminal and magically the vault door opens.
All right, hand over the code.
No.
Hand it over.
All right, you can waste me.
If you want to.
But that means you'll be busted at sunrise.
That'd be a shame.
We could all be very wealthy men.
I I'll tell you what, maybe this will sweeten the pot.
Even I know that vault can't be opened with a key.
You're absolutely right.
That key opens up the jewelry cases in the jewelry department.
Yeah, but the big stones would be in the vault.
Mmm-hmm.
But all those little stones will certainly add up to a big catch, won't they? What's to stop me from picking up these jewels and then blowing you away? Well, let's just call it an act of good faith on my part.
And anyway, those stones, those are just hors d'oeuvres.
I am the only one that can serve up the entrée.
All right, we'll check this out.
We'll lock 'em up in here.
It won't be the first time I've been locked up.
You stay here.
Why? I got 'em locked up here.
Maybe that console operates the door and the old guard might know the right buttons to push.
No, no, no.
You stay out here.
That young girl might know the right buttons to push on you.
I can't believe this.
Raymond.
Edwards was right about you.
Helping them rob the store.
Well, let's just hope that I've fooled them as well as I seem to have fooled you, Raymond.
What? I'm just glad I figured out what you were doing in time.
I was hoping you'd pick up on that red sky bit, yeah.
David, I was so afraid they were going to shoot you.
So was I.
Except I had to gamble on the fact that since I was the only one that could open the vault, they wouldn't Shh! All right.
I got the alarm override code card out of Edwards' office.
The card not only tells me how to open the vault, but it also said it triggers a silent auxiliary alarm which is transmitted by a separate radio frequency straight to the police department.
Yes, that's right.
Good.
Well, what do we do now? Just wait.
Nice try.
And I've already knocked out the silent auxiliary alarm.
All right.
So you have the override code and you don't have to worry about the alarm.
So, you can let us go.
No way.
Keep your eye on him, Gary.
"A", asterisk, one, six, "M", "V".
Well, it's good news.
Plenty of room in there for everybody.
Gary, please let us go.
There's not enough air in there.
We'll all be dead by morning.
Okay, everybody inside.
He says it's air tight and it's a long way till morning.
They could die.
Come on, move.
Move! Come on! There's an emergency ventilation system.
The white switch.
Gary, you know your brother's a three-time loser.
He can't let us live.
Gary! David! Are you all right, David? They've turned off our air.
They've turned off the lights, too.
We can't let them die.
Yes, we can.
The plan was Damn it! This is real life.
Not one of your fantasies.
All those years I thought about you, it wasn't like this.
Well, that's how it is.
I don't have time to be your hero.
Hero? Get out of my way, brother.
David? Raymond? There's something in here besides us! Hold on.
I got a match.
My God! The safe! Oh, my God, it's Look out! Look out! Look out! Jim.
Help me.
Help me, please.
Please.
Jim? Jim, come back, please.
Are you all right, Karen? I'm fine.
Just fine.
Get away from me! Oh, no! Hold it! Get up! Under the circumstances, Mr.
Edwards, I feel the new assignment as head of the stock room is rather generous.
But I thought David Bishop was a thief.
I was just trying to protect your merchandise.
By endangering the lives of my employees? No, thank you, Mr.
Edwards.
I'm going to be interviewing for the new manager this week.
So, in the meantime, our new assistant manager, Miss Mitchell, will be in charge.
Thank you.
Mr.
Edwards, the sky is blue.
