The Silver Surfer s01e03 Episode Script
Silver Surfer
For millennia, the peaceful teachings of the world of Zenn-La have brought the universe wisdom and hope.
Attempting to ease his eternal hunger for energy, the unvanquishable being called Galactus struck at Zenn-La.
The destruction of the planet appeared imminent.
Then Norrin Radd, a brilliant young student, made a fateful covenant with the despoiler! In return for the sparing of Zenn-La, Norrin Radd gave up his home and his love to become Galactus' herald and scout.
As the Silver Surfer, he soared to the ends of the universe, finding planets for his master to devour.
With his memories hidden from him, the Silver Surfer never understood why he was so moved by the plight of Galactus' victims Until, He was forced into mental battle with the tyrant Thanos, an entity dedicated to universal annihilation! During the conflict, the mental barrier erected by Galactus was breached, and the Silver Surfer's awareness of his past returned Only to be lost once more, leaving an even greater sense of loneliness and betrayal! As the Silver Surfer confronts his master about this treachery, it is my duty to observe all that occurs here.
For I am the Watcher And this is the site of Galactus' latest depredation a small, blue and green world its inhabitants call Earth! The Origin of the Silver Surfer, Pt.
3 Galactus! The time has come for us to talk! There is no need, my herald.
I have found a planet with more life energy than I ever dared imagine.
And for that reason I forgive your failure to perform your duties, for now.
But I do not forgive you! Those are audacious words, Silver Surfer.
I want my life back, I demand my soul! I pledged that I would serve you, not give up my past! We will discuss this another time, my Silver Surfer.
For now, it is your duty Now your obligation to seek out my next source of energy! It is your obligation to return my memories.
For now and evermore! I said GO! The database has analyzed the probes' data, Lord Glenn Process.
I am sorry, my lord.
.
This star system lacks the essential elements.
We cannot build an advanced technology here.
We will continue our search, Ivar.
Somewhere in this universe must be a place where we can settle in safety And recover from the doom brought upon us by Galactus and his herald, the Silver Surfer! What happened? Galactus brushed me away, with as much thought as I might give a speck of dust! This is the United States Navy.
Remain where you are! Do these beings not realize that their world is coming to an end? I must help them understand! To me, my board! My planetary brothers! You must gather yourselves and flee this world while there is still time! It's a man! A man of silver! Whatever he is, he's wiping out our world! They look so familiar How can this be? What is this? What am I seeing? Norrin Radd, Would to demonstrate the true importance of weapons here on Zenn-La? I fear it is the end of Zenn-La! Zenn-La? Norrin Radd? I do not understand.
And yet within me those names strike a chord Aircraft! But how primitive they are! Is it possible that the inhabitants of this world are unable to leave it? No! Am I going mad? This cannot be happening again But Norrin.
This ship is so primitive, so old.
I can't understand why it fascinates you! It's not the ship, Shalla Bal.
it's what it means.
The adventure of soaring through space! Again, "Norrin Radd " And now "Shalla Bal " The words taunt me.
Are they indeed madness? or are they real somehow? Nice work, guys.
Looks like we just took out our first E.
T.
Cannot concentrate Must clear my head Just my luck.
A genuine hunk of a space alien comes to visit And it turns out that he wants to blow us to smithereens! These "special bulletins" are knocking my favorite shockjock right off the air! World is fallen apart and you are worry about Top Forty (America's Top Forty).
I seem to be making a habit of falling out of this world's sky! Ever consider getting into a twelve-step program for that? I thought Galactus a myth! And I hoped him one! Quickly! We must begin the Ceremony of Outreaching! Zenn-La cannot bring peace to the universe if there is no Zenn-La! We cannot give up.
We will not! My mind reels.
Is that my past! Is that me! How can I become Master of Zenn-La, Shalla Bal When I cannot even be master over myself? I believe in you, my love.
Whatever happens, I will be at your side.
Shalla Bal! My Shalla Bal! Sorry, Silverado, but the name's Frankie, Frankie Ray Never have I fed as well as I have since you joined me.
I will guide him only to planets whose cores burst with energy, yet which have no intelligent life.
All that must concern you is that I obtain the energy I need.
I will save countless civilizations! Soon this planet will be drained and the Great Hunger will be upon me once more! Frankie! This is your fault! Who are you? Why are you doing this to our planet? You have a hard time keeping friends, don't you? It doesn't hurt anymore.
I used my power cosmic to heal you.
Not to shabby.
How about giving some of that action to the rest of the planet? Now that I know who I was and who I am that is exactly what I shall do! Galactus! Our bargain is over! You have deceived me, and I serve you no more! I will stop your carnage! Even if it costs me my life! Galactus! When I agreed to become your herald it was to save lives, by leading you away from sentient beings! This world is populated by men and women who think, who feel, who dream This planet has not the time for me to argue with one who will not even deign to answer Instead, I shall have to apply the power cosmic more directly Just as the power of Galactus created these engines of destruction.
The power he has given me shall destroy them! L.
A.
's falling into the ocean! Can't somebody help us?! Gotta be a way out of this There! Frankie, are you nuts? We've got to get to high ground! We can't get any higher up than that! Everybody! This way! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hope the owner doesn't freak 'cuz I didn't run my card through.
You did it! If there's one thing you've always been good at, it's being in the right place at the right time.
Way I see it, the right place now is wherever those alien attackers are.
I've gotta fight! I hate to break it to you, Frankie, but this is a balloon, not a rocket ship.
All this effort has drained my power cosmic.
I must replenish it quickly.
That should do Audacity is one thing, my Silver Surfer but rebellion is quite another! You have accomplished something, that no force in the universe ever has before.
What is that? You have forced me to interrupt my repast I do not know whether to congratulate you for this unique deed Or vaporize you! Do what you will, my former master, but I cannot allow you to kill anymore! "Former master?" "Former," you say?" Can it be that I have been wrong about you, Silver Surfer.
And you are neither audacious nor rebellious but simply mad? Perhaps I was, to believe that I could make any agreement with you! But now I know the truth And because of that you would attempt to destroy your creator? For, make no mistake about it, your creator I am! I took away your memories because it was necessary, I knew that with them you would never be able to serve me! Galactus, can you not understand? I no longer care about what you have done to me.
It is what you are doing to this world! This planet dies so that I may live a course of events that has occurred a billion times before! But it has been wrong a billion times before! This place reminds me of Zenn-La, and given time it too might become such a refuge! But even if it did not, still would its life be sacrosanct! I must make my stand! Your stand will destroy you! Better to perish for what I believe in than endure forever as a traitor to life! Then so be it! Frankie girl! What've you gotten yourself into now? One minute I'm dodging a tidal wave, and the next I'm in the absolute middle of nowhere Or am I? Let's see how that "right place at the right time" stuff really holds up I live! And, and so does the planet You have abandoned it.
But why? Since the dawn of time, the purpose of my life has been my continued survival.
To that end have I devoted all my great power.
But you, Silver Surfer, in your willingness to pay the ultimate price for the well-being of others you do not even know, have demonstrated a strength and courage that even Great Galactus shall never possess.
Norrin Radd, we can trust each other no more.
Consider this world a parting gift.
You will release me? I I can go? You must go.
And with you take the power cosmic.
Not as my blessing, but as my curse.
The power shall be like a brand, marking its bearer for all time.
Let us see if those for whom the Silver Surfer has been so willing to sacrifice can ever overcome their fear and hatred of you.
My board! Mighty Galactus, I shall prove you wrong about the people of the universe Go! You are condemned! Oh Man talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire You are from the planet below.
How do you come to be here? Guess it just must be my lucky day.
You have a rare gene, triggered by the power cosmic itself It enables you to unerringly find whatever you seek I do not know what a frying pan is However, I can extend to you the gift of fire.
On a planet known as Earth, there lived a young woman named Frankie Ray.
Now, she has a new form and a new name Nova, herald of Galactus! But what of the original herald the Silver Surfer? A free man, noble and pure, he streaks to his new life Zenn-La! The most beautiful planet in the universe! Soon I will be in the loving arms of Shalla Bal What has happened? Where is Zenn-La? Norrin Radd! I said that you could leave me, and I have kept my word.
But never did I say you could return to Zenn-La! Watcher! Watcher! Where is my world? Where is my home? Tell me please! I cannot tell you.
So mighty is Galactus that he has moved Zenn-La to a place where it is hidden even from me.
Truly, I am sorry.
I will find you, Shalla Bal! No matter how long or dangerous the way no matter what travail I must endure never will I stop searching! This I swear by our love! I am the Watcher.
It is my task to note all events of significance in this part of the cosmos.
This task brings me great joy and great sorrow
