It's almost like the thing was being piloted.
What's wrong, David? What's What crashed up there? I wish we knew.
(GROWLING) Just stay away! It's never happened like this.
(GASPING) What's wrong? (SIRENS WAILING) MAN: Ground-based personnel, attention.
Attention.
(ROARS) Possible ET in the impact area.
Utilize all caution.
Repeat, move with caution.
(ROARS) Keep a watch for hostile 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.
(ROARS) 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.
(ROARS) (BEEPING) WOMAN ON PA: Colonel Appling to the Deep Space Net, please.
Colonel Appling to the Deep Space Net, please.
If this is for another dinner invitation, then you're on.
Your cannelloni was superb last night.
I hope you liked the dessert as well.
But this is business.
Goldstone's tracking something.
What? We don't know.
Something weird.
Where's it coming from? Deep space.
Coordinates? There.
Right ascension, declination.
Hmm, direction of the constellation Leo.
Right.
Just to the north of Regulus.
And look how big it is.
A quarter mile across.
At least.
Joann, I'm in the Deep Space Net.
We've got a situation here.
Put your computer on the line.
Let's see how close it's gonna come to Earth.
I'm working on it.
It's the biggest meteor I've ever seen.
If it's a meteor.
Well, it seems too symmetrical.
It's shaped more like a cylinder, I think.
Oh, come on.
It has to be a meteor.
We've got no spacecrafts out that way and neither do the Soviets.
It has to be a meteor.
Well, what else could it be? We'll have the opportunity to find that out.
It's gonna impact? Yes.
Coordinates? It's just a rough, we'll have to fine tune, but I'd say Hmm Northeastern Utah.
(HORN BLARING) (HORN CONTINUES BLARING) KATIE: Someone, please! Help me! Help me, someone! Please help! Help me! Help me! Hold on! Take my hand! No, here! Here! Take my hand! Here, here! Grab my hand! (GROANING) (KATIE GASPING) (KATIE COUGHNG) (KATIE GROANING) (KATIE COUGHING) (GASPING) (GRUNTING) (GROANING) Thank you.
Thank you.
David.
David.
Thank you, David, very much.
You're welcome.
(COUGHING) (BOTH GASPING) My cabin's back along the stream.
(GASPING) I thought for sure that I was dead.
Just take it Just take it easy.
Take it easy.
My name's Kathleen, Katie.
Glad to meet you.
I'm sure glad we met.
Your timing was terrific.
Let me get some towels for you.
Maybe you should rest.
No.
I'd rather, really.
Thank you.
Were you born without sight? (SIGHING) No, it's been seven months, three weeks, two days.
A drunken driver, damage to the optic nerve.
I woke up blinded.
Is there any hope? No! I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to bite the hand that saved me.
That's okay.
I guess adjusting isn't easy.
Definitely not for me.
How about some soup? Sounds terrific.
Great.
I've got beef barley, chicken noodle, alphabet, cream of mushroom or consommé.
And quite a memory.
I've got no choice.
Which one? Which would you recommend? The chicken noodle's great today.
I would love the chicken noodle.
Ah, a connoisseur.
I knew it.
So what else are you, besides a lifeguard and a connoisseur? Not much.
I'm just traveling around right now.
Which way? East.
Don't you get lonely way out here? Beats Broadway and 45th.
I couldn't take the city after all the lights went out.
I couldn't cut it.
I couldn't find my way around.
No.
Too confusing.
Very scary.
Very scary.
What about your friends? Oh, they tried to help, but couldn't really.
No one can.
That's why I came up here to live.
I used to stay here in the summers.
You know, watching you, I'd never guess That I was blind? My brother told me that this week.
It's true.
Well, that's just because I know the place.
But that took quite a while and an awful lot of bruises.
And just look how small it is.
It's not much like Manhattan.
No.
But it is a place to start.
I tried expanding my horizons.
Had my brother string a rope for me to follow to the creek.
I finally got my courage up today.
You saw how splendid that turned out.
Your first try? And my last.
I'll sit at my piano and play odes to springtime.
That will be my future contribution to the great outdoors.
You play professionally? Used to.
Used to.
Used to sight-read Bach.
The Goldberg Variations.
(CRASHING) Oh! (CLATTERING) But now I hear they're going to make a Katie Maxwell doll.
You wind her up, she walks into a piano.
Maybe just a little bitter? Maybe just a little.
How about your soup? Don't forget to save enough for your brother.
Oh, he won't be up till later.
He lives down in Mill Fork.
Have you been there? Yes.
Yes, I've been there.
Just like that.
But he came through the wall! You understand? He made that hole! You understand? Yeah.
Yeah, I understand.
Well, how about those 10,000 bucks? Well that's for information leading to the capture.
Yeah, yeah, you'll get him.
Well, maybe this time we will.
Colonel, Palomar Observatory's on the line.
They've got their telescope aimed at the object.
There.
It does look like a cylinder.
The spectroscope? Says it's made up of nickel and magnesium, with lead and iron also.
And the highest concentration of uranium I've ever Wait, I've got Goldstone on the line.
Now they're reporting something strange.
What else? Yes, Goldstone, go on, yes.
The Leo object is emitting radiation at high levels, notably the gamma range.
This is Prometheus.
Prometheus, you're on alert.
Come onto Comm Link 3 for updates.
Impact time tomorrow 09:17.
Location? Grid coordinates are being fed to your computer.
It's the Ashley National Forest, Utah.
Nineteen miles north northeast of Mill Fork.
This is NORAD, Cheyenne Mountain.
On my mark the Leo object is one hour, 15 minutes from the time of impact.
Three, two, one, mark.
Hello, NORAD, this is Captain Adam Welsh at Mill Fork, Utah, checking in.
Is Colonel Appling there? No, there's no need to wake him yet.
We're still just getting situated.
Tell him that the ground-based personnel are fanning out around the impact area, evacuating anybody that we find.
We've got some weather building to the southwest, and the visibility may get to less than optimum.
Prometheus? They're inbound now.
Anticipating arrival ETA just shortly after impact.
Yes, I understand.
Prometheus will have command.
We're here to back him up.
Tell Colonel Appling that we hear the orders loud and clear.
This will be Prometheus' show.
That's right.
We'll keep the channels open.
McGEE: What's Prometheus? Excuse me, who are you? I'm Jack McGee.
What's Prometheus? I'm sorry, but this area's restricted.
Do you live near here, sir? No, no, no.
I'm just a visitor like yourself, only you brought more friends who wear strange uniforms.
What's going on? A training exercise.
Oh, really? Yes.
I thought those usually took place on a military reservation.
Usually.
Not always, as you see.
What kind of uniform is that? Civilian.
On a military exercise? Yes.
And what kind of insignia is that? Excuse me, but you're gonna have to go out back the way you came.
Oh, sure.
Enjoy your exercise.
Tighten up security right now.
SOLDIER: Bring that truck up here.
Hey, come on, come on.
Hey, I said move that truck.
Move that truck, let's go.
Come on, you guys, come on, move it! DAVID: Okay.
Now, which way is the sun? Oh, I'm no good at this.
Just try and feel it.
There.
That's right, so That's northeast? Southeast.
At this time of day, you're right.
A cloud? Right.
Good.
Now what? So, we look for clues.
Like what? Like moss.
Moss? Mmm-hmm.
Right here, now feel it.
So? Feel over here.
No moss.
Not much.
Usually the north side is where it grows heaviest.
That's funny.
Listen now.
To what? Just tell me what you hear.
There's wind and birds.
What else? The creek.
That's right.
From which direction? Up that way to down there.
Right, and what direction is that? Northeast down to southeast.
That's right.
But what was that big F-sharp horn that sounded yesterday? Oh, a warning.
They were opening up the floodgates.
Why'd they do that? Lowering the level of the lake, I guess.
Where's the dam? You tell me.
Northeast.
That's right.
I'm a regular girl scout, huh? Yeah.
I've got to tell you, I'm still scared to death.
You're doing just fine.
With your help.
David, I appreciate your helping me, and how you saved my life.
I never really thanked you.
Oh, yes, you did.
Now you lead me to the main road.
It's time for me to move on.
Okay.
(BEEPING) Mill Fork, this is NORAD.
Go ahead.
Carnarvon tracking station in Australia says the Leo object's entering the atmosphere Computer's reconfirming the trajectory predicted.
Its angle is very shallow.
It's almost like the thing was being piloted.
Right.
Goldstone's got it now.
It's passing through 200 miles.
Airspeed? Mach 5.
Captain Welsh, it's over North America.
On target, on the glide path we predicted.
Better watch your heads.
We're trying to, believe me, but we're socked in here right now.
(BEEPING) And now? We're walking downhill, toward the cabin? Very good.
What is it? What's the matter? I don't know.
Oh, my God! (RUMBLING) What's wrong, David? David! David! Easy! What is it, David? What is it, David? Tell me! Something crashed.
I don't know what.
I hate it! I hate it! Take it easy, come on.
Come on, we're all right.
It came down just beyond the ridge.
An airplane, maybe? Maybe I should go take a look.
Wish I could say the same.
All right, the cabin is straight ahead, now.
Come on.
Go on! Go on! I'll be all right! Stop it! I'll be all right.
David, look, I'm sorry.
That's all right.
Go on.
Be careful.
Go on.
Be careful.
Here you go.
You be careful, too.
