Fantastic Four (2006) s01e22 Episode Script

A little to the left.
No.
More to the right.
Up a bit.
Don't make me clobber you with this thing, Stretch.
Less talking, please.
This isn't as easy as it looks.
Sorry, Suzy.
(BEN GRUNTS) BEN: What's this for, again? Provided you don't break it, this will be part of the building's new security system.
Given all the attacks lately, I thought I'd give us an upgrade.
Yeah, come on.
We don't get attacked that much.
Ben, the building has been shot into space, pulled underground, invaded by Doombots, attacked by a giant monster, turned into a bomb and infested with bugs from another dimension.
Yeah, but I think most of that was Johnny's fault.
Speaking of Matchstick, ain't he supposed to be helping? What? My My Fantasticar? What happened? Pretty sweet, huh? I had HERBIE make a few mods to the old Fantasticar.
Wait.
It gets better.
Do you like it, Dr.
Richards? Johnny said you would like it.
- Moron.
- Oh, yeah.
You guys know you love it.
You know, I'm thinking maybe it's time to upgrade HERBIE's mainframe as well.
But Johnny said that would mean you want to get rid of me.
No, HERBIE, that's not what I You know, I take back what I said before.
We do get attacked a lot.
Hey, that stings! Watch the face! SUZY: Ben! (WOMAN SCREAMING) Oh no, you did not just scratch my ride.
It's on now, metal guy.
Flame on! Nothing like falling 30 stories to start your day.
- Took you long enough.
- Hey, I could have let you go, "Splat.
" Fair enough.
Take that! And that, and this, and one of these.
Well, you took them.
Nice job.
Hey, do we know this guy? It would appear that this is a version of the Iron Man armor worn by Tony Stark's bodyguard.
SUZY: Tony Stark, the billionaire? Why would he send his bodyguard after us? Whoa.
Hey.
I never even met the guy.
(GRUNTING) Will you just wait? Iron Man, why are you (SCREAMS) I just I just Strange.
The suit is empty.
JOHNNY: It's It's haunted? No.
Remote-controlled.
Stretch, we got more company.
SUZY: Is there a convention in town? JOHNNY: A haunted armor convention? Okay, I hate ghosts.
BEN: This is just not my day.
Autopilot, on.
Johnny, Susan, cover me.
I'll be right back.
Yeah, sure.
Take your time.
Reed! One's coming after you.
Did you not hear the "Cover me" part? Just a couple more seconds.
Guys, what's going on? COMPUTER: Reboot in progress.
Retreat.
And that is how you deal with haunted armor.
SUZY: Reed, what was Electromagnetic pulse, tuned specifically to the energy signature of the armors.
It should have shut them down, but Stark's armor is impressive.
So, Tony Stark.
Not one of our biggest fans, I'm thinking? There's only one way to find out.
We've got a meeting to go to.
Meeting? No one told me anything about a meeting.
HERBIE: Johnny? JOHNNY: What's up, HERBS? I trust you.
You always give me such good advice.
Tell me more.
Dr.
Richards is going to replace me, I know it.
I have to prove to him that I'm still a good computer, but I don't know how.
Can you help me? HERBIE, you came to exactly the right person.
Have you thought about redecorating Reed's lab? I know he'd like it.
Really? Sure.
Try something in a flame motif.
Wow! Thanks, Johnny.
Good tip.
Well, what can I say? Profits are up, orders are through the roof and our aerospace division is charting record Okay.
Meeting adjourned.
Please, come right in.
Though, you know, this is a very high-tech building.
We have things called doors.
So, welcome to Stark Enterprises.
To what do I owe the honor? You can start by explaining why you sent your Iron Men to attack us.
(SCOFFS) You know, you had me going for a moment there.
No, really.
Why are you here? No, this is no joke, Mr.
Stark.
Are you Hey, is that a diamond chandelier? I'm very serious, Stark.
I can see that.
You know, if you ever need a relaxing vacation, let me know.
I own several tropical islands.
Don't change the subject, Richie Rich.
You know you attacked us.
Yeah, 'fess up.
And tell me more about those islands.
Your pursuit of money is a waste of your genius, Stark.
Were you testing your armor against us? Trying to impress your stockholders? Look, Dr.
Richards, I have no doubt that you were attacked, but it's just not possible that the Iron Man armor attacked you.
It's under the tightest security on the planet.
- Prove it.
- And you're out of sprinkles.
That was a lot of doors.
STARK: Even a certified genius like Mr.
Fantastic here would have a hard time getting in.
(YAWNS) (SIGHING) Huh? This is impossible.
(ALARM BLARING) REED: You mentioned genius before.
Well, a genius is exactly what you're dealing with.
His name is Dr.
Doom.
(PEOPLE CLAMORING) We're still alive.
How? Well, that's useful.
Susan, isn't it? You know, if you're ever in the market for a new job, you just let me know.
You know, you're pretty calm for someone who almost got deep-fried.
It's just another day at the office for you? You'd be surprised.
The support beams are destabilizing.
This building is going to collapse.
Thousands of people working here.
(GRUNTING) What, is this building about 100 stories tall? I might need a hand here.
It feels like 110 stories.
Stark, you need to evacuate your employees.
Well, he got half of it right.
Come on, we've got welding to do.
My nose itches.
Need a hand? Reed, we've got a problem.
(SHRIEKING) Ghost armor! Don't think I can't take you out and hold up this building 'Cause I can! We're ready this time, Spooky.
Okay, look.
One, I'm not a ghost.
Two, if you want to fight, may I suggest we save the day first? - Iron Man, I presume.
- Welcome to Stark Enterprises.
So you're a friendly ghost? (SUZY GRUNTING) Can we chitchat later? Please? With the bracing we put in place, the building should hold until it can be properly repaired.
I agree.
Mr.
Stark thanks you for your assistance.
Yeah, I'm sure he would have thanked us himself, but he was too busy running.
You tell your boss not to worry, Iron Dude, we'll get his toys back from big, scary Doom.
You misunderstand me.
Your assistance is no longer required.
I'll take care of this Doom character.
He stole Tony Stark's property.
He's Iron Man's problem.
Yeah, right.
I'd like to see that.
Yeah, you do that, Buckethead, you just go take care of Doom.
Honestly, Iron Man, you should let us help.
We've dealt with Doom before.
REED: You're just as arrogant as Stark.
It must be something he values in his employees.
I'll be just fine on my own.
JOHNNY: Hey, go take care of Mole Man while you're at it.
We can't just let him go, Reed.
Of course not.
No doubt Doom is expecting both Iron Man and us.
And while Stark's Iron Man armor is quite capable, no one knows Doom better than we do.
Wait, wait.
So we're going? I thought Iron Guy was handling this.
REED: HERBIE, I need you to track Iron Man's position.
HERBIE? Hello? Maybe you should ask your new computer for help.
- HERBIE, what are you talking about? - Oh, like you don't know.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some packing to do.
Are you two fighting? How cute! Thank you, Susan.
It doesn't matter.
There's only one place Iron Man could be going.
HERBIE: How was that? Perfect, and next time, tell him you're leaving, that you quit.
Make him realize how much he needs you.
HERBIE: You're so wise, Jonathan.
I told you to leave this to me.
Easy, Iron Chef, I'm sure you've totally got this covered.
Oh, except for that guy shooting at you.
And that guy.
Yeah, Shellhead.
You're doing so good getting blasted up there, maybe I'll just take a little nap.
I don't need your help.
This is Iron Man tech.
I know it inside and out.
And only I can stop it.
Wow, you weren't kidding.
No, it wasn't me.
Indeed, it wasn't.
Iron Man.
How charming.
Your employer's armor is adequate.
Dude, double armor.
That's got to be heavy.
How do you even walk around in that? I have claimed this technology.
Leave now or be destroyed.
You chose poorly.
I see Stark saved his best suit of armor for you.
But there is no technology that I cannot master.
Now, what shall I do with you? I know.
I can't stop it.
He's got control of my suit.
Destroy the Fantastic Four.
Nothing's ever easy, is it? - Hey! - I can't control the armor.
You have to get away.
Run! "Run" ain't in my vocabulary.
Okay.
Try to get out of that.
Ben! - He got out.
- Shut up.
Ben! Watch out! He's firing the unibeam.
The what? Stop fighting, please.
I don't want to hurt you.
Sorry, Shellhead, but Ben Grimm don't lay down for no one.
Iron Man, listen to me.
We need to access your mainframe.
Reed, just get out of here.
I'll handle this.
Richards, you fool.
You're making this too easy.
JOHNNY: Make up your mind.
Up or down? Susan, I need you up here.
Ben, Johnny, distract Victor while I work.
What's the magic word? Being part of a team does have its advantages, Tony.
If we work together, we can stop Doom.
What? How did you Of course you're Iron Man.
Who else could it be? Now, can you access your armor's mainframe remotely, or not? Yes, but you need 100 supercomputer shifts to get through the encryptions.
Not a problem.
HERBIE, I need you to access the Stark mainframe.
- HERBIE? - HERBIE: I'm not speaking to you.
(DOOM LAUGHING) Doom, we missed you.
Missed clobbering you, that is.
Do you really think the two of you have a chance against my terrible power? Oh, your terrible power! And all this time, we thought we were fighting your terrible smell.
HERBIE, I am not going to replace you.
I'm going to give you an upgrade.
You'll still be you, just better.
Hmm Let me think about it.
REED: HERBIE.
(REED GROANING) HERBIE: Johnny, Dr.
Richards says JOHNNY: Just help him, HERBIE.
HERBIE Okay, I'll do it.
Accessing Iron Man mainframe.
Accessing Accessing Systems overloading.
Encryption is too much.
Overloading.
No, I won't I won't let you down.
- HERBIE.
- Overloading Overloading Access Access Granted.
HERBIE? He did it.
I can't believe it.
I have control of the armor.
HERBIE? Hey, if you guys ain't busy, we could use a hand down here.
Iron Man, wait.
With your technology merged with his, Doom may be too powerful.
We need a plan.
Any suggestions? (JOHNNY SCREAMING) You would be wise to stay down, monster.
No one ever accused me of being wise.
Doom, get away from him.
(LAUGHING) Such bravado.
Do you not see, Richards? The end is here.
SUZY: He does like his dramatic entrances.
(IRON MAN AND DOOM GROANING) I offered you a chance for survival.
Sorry, Doom, I'm a little more ambitious than that.
None may touch Doom.
I did more than touch, Doom, but don't blame me.
It was Reed's idea.
Overloading Doom's iron armor may have been my idea, but you definitely did it.
I take no responsibility.
DOOM: What? Your armor is going to self-destruct, Victor.
You may want to take it off.
Or not.
(DOOM GROANING) You have made yourself a deadly enemy today, Iron Man.
We shall meet again.
But I don't want a deadly enemy.
Yeah, you get used to it.
STARK: Thank you, Reed, and I'm sorry.
I should have accepted your offer to help in the first place.
REED: Let's call it even.
After all, there are so few of us.
What? Rich, handsome geniuses? I actually meant superheroes, but that works, too.
Well, thanks again.
Hopefully, one day I can return the favor.
BEN: Wait a minute.
Stretch is rich? Reed? Come on, HERBIE, come on! (ELECTRONIC STATIC) Hi, Dr.
Richards.
Did we win? We sure did, HERBIE.
Thanks to you.
Hooray! Oh, wait.
I almost forgot.
What do you think of the lab? Johnny said you'd like it.
I love it, HERBIE.
In fact, I've already returned the favor to Johnny.
(WHISTLING) What? My car! My beautiful car! No!
