The Silver Surfer s01e08 Episode Script
Antibody
Silver Surfer - 08 - Antibody Zenn-La! Although only in my mind, it seems so real, so near Planet of my birth, where I lived, and learned And, yes, where I loved As the reality is gone, so too is the vision, like a fever dream! Yet how can I have a fever, when Galactus' power cosmic has removed from me the travails of common mortality? Just as he has doomed me to an endless search for my home What is happening? I have soared through far more treacherous courses and never missed a twist or turn No! I felt that! Just as I feel the icy vacuum of space seize my bones! My head throbs can scarcely see A gravity well! Nature's most destructive force, capable of sucking even the most powerful of celestial bodies into its maw And I have only a fraction of my accustomed strength This is not the afterlife the Master taught.
Where am I? Silver Surfer! We made it! You are the one who rescued me? I am in your debt.
Actually, it's kinda like a debit card.
You might say you pre-paid.
Had I ever encountered such a one as yourself, I am certain I would recall.
I'm Nova.
You saved my life once, on a little mudball called Earth.
I looked a little different then The name was Frankie Ray You have indeed changed but how did this come to be? Call it the ultimate makeover, by your old boss.
I'm Galactus' new herald and I'm here to ask you to help keep Big G alive! You serve Galactus? And you think that I, who have toiled for him, and fought with him, and suffered beyond measure because of him, would want to save the Devourer of Worlds? As a matter of fact, I do.
'Cause if he goes, so does everything he and his power cosmic have ever touched.
You, me Shalla Bal! We have traveled to virtually the other side of the universe! How did you find me at such a distance? I always find what I look for.
Since I was a kid, anywhere I've needed to be bam! I've been there! That's why Galactus gave me your old job after just one interview.
He said I had some kind of trick gene that was triggered when you healed me.
Nova! Get down! With each passing instant, I grow weaker! You're not the man you used to be, Silverado, and I'm not the new me It's 'cause we're sick.
And the reason we are is right there.
This is Galactus' ship? My mind cannot accept what my eyes see.
A Harpy Rasp! It's worse than I thought! The ship's defenses must be completely down! Harpy Rasps feed only on the raw energy of dying power! What you thought I was kidding? Tell me, Silver Surfer, have you come to pluck at my essence along with the Harpy Rasps? Or merely to shovel the last bit of cosmic dirt over my grave? I brought him here, my master, to help you survive! I need no help from you, Silver Surfer.
Go! I cannot move.
Within my body, I know not where, is a rot so deep that it has poisoned my very core Surfer, you've got to do something before it's too late for all of us! Please! There are those who consider me a traitor to life for ever having served Galactus! Would not saving him be the ultimate in treachery? Hey, give me some credit, huh? The only way I could live with myself was by changing the big guy's diet.
As long as I'm around, all he gets is "planet light.
" No salt.
No sugar.
No intelligent life.
Nova! When did this begin? I did what I always do, and found the planet below.
Everything seemed just fine 'til Galactus tried to absorb its energy.
Then he started shaking and bellowing Surfer the best job I could get without a college degree's going right down the tubes and I'm responsible! Responsibility is not the issue now.
A solution is.
If there were a way to actually enter Galactus, together we might still be strong enough to fight whatever is there.
There is a way, but I cannot risk both of you in one stratagem.
The Silver Surfer must go alone.
Galactus! Still is there one condition to be met Do what you must And all my knowledge of Zenn-La will be yours! Indeed, this is incredible.
I have entered Galactus' brain Surfer Surfer can you hear me? Surfer Nova! I am attacked! This is not supposed to be!!! Galactus? Surfer! Galactus is out! And I'm not doing all that well either! I believe I have had an encounter with his immune system.
And not to our mutual benefit.
I must look someplace else for the infection but where? And I thought pictures of smokers' lungs were disgusting! Just ahead of you the spinal cord! Yes.
I see it! The heartbeat of Galactus! Nova! Galactus is weakening! Time is running out! How near am I to our foe? You're almost to the chest cavity.
Take the left branch.
You're getting close Surfer! What happened? I do not know.
I will go back.
Surfer! Surfer! Somebody's trying to blow us out of the universe! Oh great, just great! Galactus! Can I help it if this is my first space war? What do I do? What do I do? My lord! Is it possible? Can Galactus' truly be defenseless? We will know soon enough, Ivar.
The probes have shown all they can Now it is up to our allies to draw the Devourer out Lord Glenn! I read you, Gamora.
Are you as astonished by what lies before us as I? Every night in my dreams I relive the destruction of my home planet by Galactus.
Yet now I find his ship even more awesome than I remembered Frankly, Lord Glenn, I'm almost as frightened by the fact that he's not fighting back as I would be if he did I can't shake the feeling that this is a trap.
But why would a being with the power of Galactus resort to such a tactic? I guess we'll have to find out.
Refugee One to Wanderers Move in another notch, But stay prepared to cut and run Everything that has happened since I entered Galactus' body must be a product of his immune system How can I fight both him and the disease? To me, my board! Nova! Can you hear me? I am within Galactus' chest! I hear you, Silverado But I can't exactly help much right now! Silverado! There's this weird looking bald guy staring at us from the middle of nowhere! The Watcher! His presence here shows that this is indeed a portentous event! You must defy fate, Nova! Reach inside yourself, and replace the strength you have lost with the courage you will always have! Silverado, if you ever get tired of hanging ten through the spacewaves, I bet some guys at Notre Dame who'd love to sign you up as a coach! Back to the cheap seats, creeps! And try some take-out like my solar flambe! Wanderers, this is Refugee One Disengage! Repeat -- disengage! How 'bout that? Looks like the kid from Venice Beach just won a round That resource is not in our database! What is happening? Ah, Ivar, is that not the question we lesser beings have been asking about Galactus since the beginning of time? Or did you genuinely believe his end would come so easily? Galactus grows still weaker and so do I! What manner of bodily organs are these? [THE VOICE OF THE SPHERES.]
Silver Surfer! Noble Lackey of Galactus! So good of you to visit our ignoble selves! What are you, to mock me like this? We will show you! Do you recognize us now, Silver Surfer? We are the essence of the worlds consumed by Galactus! STOP!!! Signed by you and your master to this limbo of eternal despair! I was not myself! I knew not what I did! Yet still, do I hold myself accountable Then you must allow me to put an end to the evil! You are the infection! Galactus' defense is weakening again! May I remind you, Gamora, that organic tissue such as yours is notoriously frail? I suggest you and your people continue to reconnoiter.
Lord Glenn, I've waited to get at Galactus since I six years old.
Now that I'm this close I can't keep backing away.
Call it the curse of being "merely organic," but the Wanderers'd much rather have revenge than survive! Can't hold out much longer sure miss Amber and the boardwalk No! No! Gotta keep going! Where do you come from? Why are you doing this to me? I am the Universal Scourge, born and bred to be Galactus' last meal! Millennia ago, a selfless civilization dedicated all its resources, its very life, to the eradication of the Devourer! For eons they followed in his wake, collecting the detritus Galactus left behind and bringing it to the planet below, where its toxicity was cultivated as in a garden The effort destroyed them, but the venom, powerful enough to exterminate even the Dreaded One, lived on sending out a signal of false energy, and inviting Galactus to dine! NOOO!!! You think you can stop something begun long before any race now living rose from the slime?! Galactus! I have not the strength! You must focus your remaining energy, and trust me with all your POWER!!! First Herald.
Scourge of the Universe, you do what you must But so do I WHO DARES?! The giant's up and kicking! Abort! Abort! Emergency maneuvers! Take us out of here! Take us out! My herald! You have work to do! Galactus the Surfer just saved your life, and that's all you've got to say? I stand corrected, my Nova.
There is indeed more.
Know that the Great Hunger is upon me and it is far greater than ever before! I hope that the universe can forgive me for even I am not certain I did the right thing.
Did Galactus make good on his promise? Did he tell you where your homeworld is? In his way, Galactus is an honorable man.
He said he would tell me all he knew about Zenn-La, and he did In his great anger, my former master flung the planet so far into space that even he is not aware of where it came to rest! I'm sorry, Surfer.
Nova, you said something to me earlier about always finding what you seek.
Do you think you could find Zenn-La? Yes! I thought you'd never ask!
Where am I? Silver Surfer! We made it! You are the one who rescued me? I am in your debt.
