The Silver Surfer s01e11 Episode Script

Silver Surfer - 11 - The Forever War Centuries ago, our forefathers waged a gallant battle to possess this planet, Karra-Des They failed Over the years, all reconnaissance drones sent to investigate this area have been lost I have prevailed upon the new Prime Minister to let us redeem this blot on Kree history I, personally, will lead the assault to secure this entire system.
For the glory of the Supremor! For the glory of the Supremor! What is that? Instruments show a level ten spatial anomaly.
Level ten? That's impossible! Ship! Come about! Steer us clear of that thing Full speed! Full speed! Ko-Val [General.]
to fleet -- apply tractor beams at once! General Ko-Val! Acknowledge! Acknowledge! General! What are your orders? Colonel listen to me! Saveyourselves You mean to tell me you didn't search for General Ko-Val? Sir, he ordered us to save ourself.
The General's loss didn't frighten you, did it, Edokk? I'm a Kree warrior, Prime Minister Zarek I fear nothing.
Code Alpha! Kree-Lar system defenses have been breached! The invasion force is above the planet, currently repelled by our deflectors! Above the planet?! Where was the warning? This is the warning.
The entire invasion has consumed merely twenty-seven seconds so far.
What kind of invaders can move with such speed? Not "invaders," Invader The Silver Surfer! Once again, the Kree have proven themselves to be formidable foes I had hoped to gain entrance to their capitol by the use of sheer speed But this energy barrier has negated any advantage I gained.
Still, having obtained their attention, I may yet achieve my goal.
People of the Kree! I come in peace! He lies! He brings Galactus upon Kree-Lar! According to our Intelligence, the Surfer is no longer involved with Galactus There is no need to fight! My mission is a personal one -- City! Order our ships to cease fire.
The Silver Surfer is not an invader.
He has fired only in self-defense Silver Surfer! Please accept our warmest welcome.
Our escort will guide you down.
Such a "hospitality" is difficult to refuse.
A tangy treat from the far end of the Kirby Cluster I need to neither eat nor drink for sustenance, Prime Minister.
On the other hand if I might avail myself here? And now, Silver Surfer, what is this "personal mission" of yours? Since my earliest youth, I have heard the Kree Supreme Intelligence praised for its wisdom.
Now I would like to utilize that wisdom.
That is not possible! The Supremor is no publicly accessible database, he is a collective consciousness the absolute ruler of the Empire! Who better to turn to for the location of my lost home planet? I mean no insult to the Kree, nor do I want your secrets.
My only interest is in the world known as Zenn-La.
Surfer, the guiding precept of the Kree Empire can be put in one word -- - utility.
If I agree to grant you an audience with our leader are you prepared to demonstrate your usefulness to us? In other words, you seek some sort of payment.
Let me make that still clearer I seek it in advance.
The Kree wish me to investigate what happened to their lost General Ko-Val and bring back the findings To that end, have they provided me with this Analytical Belt Never before have I heard of an outsider being allowed to use their technology.
This mission must be more important than it seems -- The anomaly described in the reports from the general's fleet! I do not know what data the belt is receiving -- But I detect enough energy within this strange object to fill an entire star system! The anomaly is far more dangerous than I thought! There is only one way to solve this mystery, and to do it I risk all.
Yet it is worth any price if I can return to Shalla Bal! What is happening here? If I did not know differently, I would assume I had never left normal space! That ship, it must be Ko-Val's The configuration of these others, however, is antique although their condition appears new! No mercy, Kree! Who are you? Adam Warlock.
Defender of Karra-Des! Which side you on? Kree? Or freedom? I am the Silver Surfer, and I am not here to fight.
This is not my battle! Look around you! Doesn't it make your blood pound? They are all our battles! Well, Surfer, what is it to be? It would appear I have no choice.
I stand with you.
Well done, my ally! You too are a formidable warrior, Adam Warlock.
But I have many questions about what is happening here -- "Questions?" There's no time for questions.
We have to put these tyrants in their place! Yes, come to me! More fodder for the cause! The battle goes well, and yet this entire situation is exceedingly strange An entire Kree Division, in ships from long ago, fighting one man And all of it occurring within a segment of space that should not exist Adam Warlock and I have destroyed countless vessels but they leave not a trace as though they never were here! Thank you, friend Surfer! Together we've saved my homeworld from destruction or worse by the accursed Kree! Indeed, Adam, victory is ours.
How, though, did you get such power? And to be in this place No mercy, Kree! Never would I have thought such a thing possible.
The battle is unfolding exactly as before! Adam Warlock.
Defender of Karra-Des! Which side you on? Kree? Or freedom? I am the Silver Surfer! Have you no memory of me? Of all this? What's there to remember? There's only the battle -- -- and the victory! Adam Warlock does not seem to know he is not in real space.
Perhaps he will come to his senses if I remove him from here.
But how? If anyone can understand his feelings about his world, it is I! Warlock! The Kree have infiltrated your world! This is the battle to keep them away! And it has only just begun! You have been outflanked! The people of Karra-Des have sent me for your help! We must hurry! Follow me! Where is Karra-Des? Beyond this Kree-manufactured barrier.
No Kree barrier will keep me from defending my world! We must work together to get through it.
Do not stop! It is responding! Warlock, are you all right? I -- I don't know Where am I? You have been trapped in what appears to be a time anomaly, fighting the same battle over and over.
No! No, that's not true! I've been doing what I was born to do! Defending my home! My home -- -- Karra-Des! Warlock! Wait! Oh no! My home! It's all gone! How? Why? Think, think, Warlock! Perhaps you will recall I can see pieces.
We were a planet of scientists and researchers, who refused to give our discoveries to the Kree We were attacked.
Karra-Des had no army, and our losses were great The High Evolutionary Council created me out of the most potent DNA on the planet To be its champion, and both defend and protect! That's all I know.
Did the war end? - Did I fail? - From what I have seen and heard, you have succeeded.
You drove the Kree off, generations ago.
Then what could have happened here? Why have I been out in space, fighting all this time? There is only one place where those facts may be found and, if I am fortunate, answers to my own questions as well Will you come with me, Warlock, to the planet of your enemies? Kree-Lar! So, Silver Surfer, you have returned But instead of General Ko-Val and his ship, you bring me -- Adam Warlock, Defender of Karra-Des! Now, Kree, tell me, what happened to my world? You think to threaten Kree-Lar? Zarek, your general is trapped in the Anomaly, endlessly reliving an ancient battle.
The Analytical Belt has recorded all the necessary information.
Therefore, in accordance with our bargain, I would see the Supremor.
No, Silver Surfer.
It is we who would see Adam Warlock and you! Welcome, Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock.
We are the Supreme Intelligence You are the Supreme bringer of suffering and despair - throughout the universe! - No! It would seem you have us at a disadvantage.
We would not be the Supremor if we did not.
Ah, Adam Warlock, long have we wondered if the rumors of your existence were true.
Had we allowed them to become public, you would be an interstellar legend now! I would settle for being your nightmare.
"Nightmare?" Hardly.
How could you frighten those you are going to so greatly benefit? For millennia, the Kree have been masters of genetic manipulation.
But even we reached a plateau we could not surpass.
In an attempt to revitalize our race, we sought and failed to obtain new knowledge from Karra-Des.
Now, the only being ever to best us is in our hands And, once we have taken him apart, we can make our race truly invincible using Adam Warlock's own DNA Supremor! You must not do this thing! Silver Surfer, you have served me well.
You may go - Save yourself.
- No! You are here because of me.
I shall not leave you behind! You cannot do this! I am the Supremor! I am Supreme!!! I will take us out of here.
We will be free! I I live! And all your genetic material remains intact.
If only my home lived as well.
I'll never know what happened! Thank you for your request.
Information processed.
The Analytical Belt! The Supremor did not deign to examine it! In studying the Anomaly and related phenomena, this Analyzer discovered chrono-syncratic images, like moments frozen in time I will now replay those images They show that after Adam Warlock defeated the Kree many citizens of Karra-Des feared their own hero Thinking that as someone who knew only the ways of war, he might turn against them A Temporal Anomaly was created to lock him away.
There Warlock would relive his great battle for all eternity But many disagreed.
What if he should be needed again? To impose this point of view, its adherents created a warrior of their own The other side retaliated in kind.
More warriors were created The result was inevitable.
Karra-Des, and everyone, on it, was destroyed.
In saving my planet, I destroyed it! How can I live with that knowledge? How can I go on? The universe is filled with good people, Adam Warlock, people weakened by injustice and greed.
Soar out to it with me, and you are sure to find a new cause, a new home, to champion! I have a home, friend Surfer.
Where I can leave my memories behind and live forever in glory, defending Karra-Des! It's ironic, isn't it? You learned nothing that you wanted from the Kree while I have learned too much.
Often have I felt overwhelmed by my own loss, and the futility of my search for Zenn-La Yet now I leave behind a man who could almost have been a brother, knowing that although his world no longer exists, still has he found a way to return.
My resolve is stronger than ever.
My home does exist, and never will I rest until I set foot on its peaceful soil! Yes, come to me! More fodder for the cause!
