The Incredible Hulk (1978) s02e07 Episode Script

You saw a great deal.
The force you possess? I did see it.
Fear.
I can feel it as sharply as you are seeing it.
You can always go back to being weak-willed and undisciplined.
Steve! Perhaps you should leave.
And if I don't? He's coming to us.
I have already called the men in.
I'm not gonna let you do it.
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) (POUNDING ON DOOR) Where'd you come from? Just down the road.
I've been trying to hitch a ride, but no luck.
I could sure use a lift.
Hey, there's no riders.
Beat it.
Well, look, I wouldn't mind riding in the back of the truck.
It's awfully wet out.
What does this rig look like to you, huh? A bus? Now, go on, beat it.
So you want a ride, fella, huh? You'll get a ride.
Hey! Hey! That should cool the bum off.
I'll give him a ride he won't forget.
Sir? Excuse me, sir.
Hey! Hey! There's somebody else in here.
Hey! Hey, we're freezing in here! Hey! Stop the truck! Hey! (GROANS) (ROARS) Jeez, I better warm him up a little.
(BANGING) (ROARING) Come closer to the fire, friend.
Have some tea.
My name is Li Sung.
David.
David Braemer.
Where are we? Was anybody hurt? Each question in turn.
First, we are where we are, which is here.
Second, I'm not sure what happened.
It was raining.
I found the truck.
I climbed inside.
I was meditating.
Then the cold started.
You were there then, weren't you? Yes.
Yes, I was.
You and something else.
Something powerful.
What do you mean? A force.
Strength.
Anger.
Like a beast, but different.
I felt it growing.
It was very cold then.
All of a sudden we are free.
I'm sure no one was hurt.
That's very good to know.
The vehicle we were traveling in, however, was damaged.
At least it sounded damaged.
Sounded? Excuse me, are What? What is it? He only wanted the warmth of our company, but I've never liked snakes.
Yes.
I am blind.
A physical disorder that, fortunately, has little to do with true seeing.
Well, you seem to manage very well.
You saw a great deal inside the truck.
The force you possess? I did see it, in my own way.
You said something about meditation.
Yes.
There are many levels in the mind.
I was relaxing in the basement, so to speak.
I'm sorry if I caused you concern.
I was feeling fine.
You have that kind of control? Besides talking, I also love to show off.
I apologize.
No, please.
I (STAMMERING) I've read of similar phenomena, at least related aspects, like biofeedback, which suggest a possibility of controlling the autonomic nervous system.
But I've never seen it carried so far.
Would you mind if I look at your hands? That's amazing.
I mean, there's no burning.
The epidermis is totally undamaged.
You're quite an impressive man, Li Sung.
There are more kinds of technology than you have learned so far, David.
Can you teach this kind of control? I consider the lessons a gift that should be passed on.
After the war, I left China and traveled to Taiwan.
Myself and Wu Chuan, a boyhood friend.
In Taiwan, we met Americans for the first time.
I heard American jazz.
Do you like jazz, David? Yes, I do very much.
It fascinated me.
Like the Americans themselves.
Three years ago, I arrived in San Francisco with Wu Chuan and an American pupil, Steve Silva.
We were eager to show hard-headed Yankees the True Path.
And were you successful? The school became chic.
It wasn't what I expected, or wanted, and I ran away to find the real America.
Real Americans.
And learn from them.
It's been two years.
And now? And now I am on my way back.
Li Sung, I have a great need for this kind of control.
I think I understand.
My wife, Caroline, and I, we were trying to reverse my disease.
We were almost successful, but she died.
I've tried to control it many times.
Using your technology? Yes.
Perhaps you should try mine.
Perhaps I should.
Good.
Good.
We'll travel together.
Talk about life, death and Dizzy Gillespie.
Li Sung would not be pleased at your failure to pay for our protection, Chien Fong.
SIMON: Money's all here, Steve.
(SPEAKING CHINESE) I told you to pay him, Jimmy.
Every month we have to pay.
Pay, pay! I say fight him, Papa! Fight him.
Shut up.
Be quiet, you young fool.
You don't fight men like Steve Silva and Li Sung.
(EXCLAIMING) Thank you very much.
Most enjoyable.
David? David? David? We've arrived.
San Francisco.
How long was I away this time? Six hours.
You're learning very quickly.
Hungry? Starving.
We'll have full bellies soon enough.
Thank you.
Watch your head.
(MAN SPEAKING CHINESE) (WOMAN SPEAKING CHINESE) Are we near 1122? Uh, yes.
This is 1118.
Just two doors down.
Gone.
Well, maybe we can ask somebody where your friends have moved.
DAVID: Li Sung I can feel it as sharply as you are seeing it, David.
Fear.
Yes.
Wait! Please.
What happened to the people who ran the school? They move.
They move.
Chien? Chien Fong.
It is Chien, isn't it? Yes.
It's me.
What is it? What's wrong? It's nothing, Li Sung.
You're back.
I'm surprised to see you.
It's been two years.
A surprise, that's all.
It's good to see you again.
You're always welcome at my home.
And your friends.
Mr.
Fong, wait, please.
Perhaps you could tell us where the school has moved.
Around the corner.
The Tower.
Thank you.
Not a moment passes that our world is not changing, in some way.
Is it far, Chien Fong's Tower? Not very far.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
May I help you? Yes, we are looking for two friends.
Would the two of you like to sign up for our classes? We have quite a few easy payment plans available, and the school accepts all major credit Oh, my goodness.
Miss, if either Mr.
Wu Chuan or Mr.
Silva are here, please.
Mr.
Silva's in the gymnasium, sir.
Sir, please forgive me.
I didn't know.
I mean, ever since I enrolled here I've wanted to meet you.
But we've always been told you were in seclusion.
No need to be upset, miss.
Once in Chicago, I met Miles Davis.
He's much more impressive than I am, I can assure you.
Thank you.
(ALL EXCLAIMING) That's it.
Ready stance.
Assume the aggressor stance, Rogers.
You can always go back to being weak-willed and undisciplined.
Steve! (ROGERS GRUNTING) STEVE: Li Sung! ALL: Li Sung! Wu Chuan was crossing the street down there.
A few blocks away.
The car turned the corner and The face of the world changes when friends depart.
Changes.
I didn't know where you were by then, Li Sung.
I was forced to make my own decisions.
You seem to have made the right ones, Steve.
Yes.
The school's been successful.
The youth in this country crave direction.
Direction.
Yes.
And so you emphasize the martial arts.
The martial arts were always part of your teachings, Li Sung.
A small part.
But America isn't the Orient.
You should know your own countrymen better than I.
Exactly.
Discipline Discipline is quickly becoming a forgotten word in America.
The school, the principles of your teaching, Li Sung, provide an answer.
When coupled with my innovations.
The school is now built on solid ground.
We have other investments.
Enterprises, insurance.
And, of course, we still remain tax-exempt.
A philosophy, a religion, if you will, need not be a losing venture.
Only the body is lost.
The spirit changes but never ceases.
Yes.
Li Sung, are you all right? I'm very tired.
If you will show us where we'll be sleeping tonight, Steve Stay here, Li Sung, please.
This apartment is yours until we can make further arrangements.
Both of you.
Very well.
Li Sung, I don't think that Silva's school is going to be of any use to me.
Li Sung? Do your exercises, friend.
But, Li Sung, I'm trying to tell you Do your exercises, David.
(DOOR OPENS) (DOOR CLOSES) LI SUNG: David, you're as curious as ever.
Well, I was a little more worried than curious.
Are you all right? I'm fine.
Complacent senility is useful to a point, but now it's time to use the brain God gave me.
Craftiness is a side of you I hadn't yet seen, Li Sung.
The less of a threat Steve thinks I am, the more we will learn.
I'll need your eyes if you'll lend them.
Of course.
Finding the truth could be very dangerous and I don't want you No, Li Sung Please.
All right.
Eight steps now.
All right.
Now, we're coming to the main arena.
Now I would say it's approximately 50 feet by Wait.
Why, what's the matter? I'm not sure.
Something.
(SHOUTS) (SHOUTS IN CHINESE) Li Sung! David, are you all right? Yes.
Yes, I think so.
She knew you, Li Sung.
Who was she? STEVE: Her name is May.
She is Wu Chuan's daughter.
When her father died, May just vanished.
We tried to find her, many times, but couldn't.
Nothing.
She's gone.
We looked everywhere.
There, Li Sung.
As I said, she's crazy.
A sickness.
I'll have to notify the police.
She needs care, Li Sung.
Coming in here like that, trying to murder your friend.
Are you sure she was after me, Mr.
Silva? Who else? You work out here, don't you? Late at night? No need to call the police, Steve.
She's suffered.
The girl's suffered enough.
She'll find her way.
We all do.
David? Just a short walk.
That's all it was supposed to be.
And look what fate has brought us, David.
Do you see now how destinies are entwined? That wasn't a wise thing to say to Steve.
I couldn't help it.
SIMON: I think we should do something about those two, Steve.
We don't do anything unless I say so.
The old man taught me this.
Watch.
The force will carry into the target.
Steve, that's solid plaster.
The blow will happen first in my mind, then in reality.
Mr.
Silva Quiet.
I'm still in charge here, Simon.
You're not concentrating, David.
It's very difficult, Li Sung.
You must learn to do so or you'll never be able to curb your attacks.
Remember the image I gave you? The pool of still water.
I tried.
But questions keep coming to the surface.
Like Wu Chuan's daughter.
Silva.
All of it.
Then perhaps you should remove yourself from the potential danger.
When I was young and first blinded, there was a terrible rage in me.
A tiny rage compared to yours, and it's taken me half my lifetime to control it.
What are you trying to tell me, Li Sung? That there's no time for a cure? I'm saying that perhaps you should leave, David.
And if I don't? Then I'll use you selfishly to find the answers I need to know.
(KNOCK ON DOOR) (SPEAKING CHINESE) I'm looking for Miss May Chuan.
(SPEAKING CHINESE) Look, she's staying here, isn't she? May Miss May Chuan.
I was told she might be staying here.
Please Miss Chuan! Grandma.
(SPEAKING CHINESE) Miss Chuan, Li Sung sent me.
How do I know that? Wu Chuan was not your real father.
He took you in.
Adopted you in China when you were only four years old.
(SPEAKING CHINESE) Miss Chuan, your father Was murdered.
By Silva.
When Li Sung left, Silva showed us who he really was.
He said Li Sung was staying in touch and he did everything in Li Sung's name.
Wu Chuan knew better and Silva had him killed.
Nothing personal.
Business.
Silva is a born businessman.
He outmaneuvered the tong, and now he owns the district.
Everything! Then why don't you go to the police and tell them what you just told me? The people here are not the kind to trust police of any country.
And neither am I.
But killing Silva is not the answer.
It doesn't matter.
I failed.
May, can you provide any evidence to support what you've just told me? Just the voices of Silva's victims, the ones who have suffered.
I think that Li Sung should come here to you and hear them.
They've moved on.
I told you.
Simon Ming's searching everywhere for you two guys.
Please, Chien, continue.
Mr.
And Mrs.
Chi.
Their shop was burned when they refused to pay Silva's men.
They lost their son in the fire.
Mary Lee.
Mary's husband Frank wanted to organize against Silva.
Silva found out.
Frank, missing ever since July.
Enough, Chien.
Enough.
Silva must come down.
He's twisted the power I gave him.
It's my responsibility.
Li Sung.
They know now you had nothing to do with Silva.
But no one expects you to try to take Silva alone.
May's right, Li Sung.
You have friends again.
We'll help you, Li Sung.
We'll fight him with you.
Please.
Will you listen to me? We're dealing with a criminal.
Now you have to call the police David, have you done your exercises today? My exercises, Li Sung? Great things can be accomplished if you make the work a ritual, David.
Great strength can be summoned or controlled in the same way.
Li Sung, you need help.
I planted this seed, and now I will chop the tree.
LI SUNG: The mind is like the sea and you can learn to swim in it as deeply as you dare.
But greed has no place in the heart of any man seeking the truth in himself.
Damn it, you ruined my concentration, Simon! He's coming to us.
Yes.
I have already called the men in.
He wants to make a test of it.
He's exposing himself on purpose.
There's talk on the street, Steve.
There's a lot of people out there waiting to see what happens.
They'll see.
They'll see me defeat him.
I know you feel responsible for what Silva's become and I think maybe your pride has been hurt a little bit, but what you're doing You've learned from me and now I've learned from you.
You can profit from the lesson, but for me it's just too late.
Nothing can be done to change my path.
Not now.
I don't believe that.
I mean, I just cannot believe that.
The hard-headed Yankee, eh? All right, all right, fine.
Yes.
Maybe I am.
But I'm not going to let you do it.
I have to go to the p (MRS.
LOO SPEAKING CHINESE) Mrs.
Loo? (SPEAKING CHINESE) Mrs.
Loo? Li Sung? Where's Li Sung? (PEOPLE CHATTERING) Are the students gone? Yes.
Good.
He's trying to psyche me out.
Get me to come to him.
It won't work.
(SPEAKING CHINESE) No, no, no, no, I don't want any tea.
I don't want any tea.
Mrs.
Loo, my hands.
No, no, Mrs.
Loo.
I don't want any No, no, I don't want any tea, Mrs.
Loo.
Listen.
Listen.
You've got to cut me free, Mrs.
Loo.
Untie me! You must untie me, Mrs.
Loo.
Mrs.
Loo, you've got to cut me Mrs.
Loo, you must untie me.
Li Sung could be killed.
Mrs.
Loo! Li Sung will be killed.
You've got to cut me free.
Mrs.
Loo! (SCREAMING) (SPEAKING CHINESE EXCITEDLY) (SPEAKING CHINESE) Wait until he gets inside.
No guns.
The workout will be good practice for the men.
They'll stop him.
Perhaps.
But even if they can't, it doesn't make any difference.
If Li Sung gets this far, he'll see that the student has now become the master.
MAN: Hey, when are we going to go to lunch? (GROWLING) MAN: Get outta here! (ROARS) Hey, it's green! (PEOPLE SHOUTING IN CHINESE) Steve, I'm here.
(ROARS) (GROANING) (SCREAMING) Somebody get me down! Charlie! Jackson! Get him! (ROARS) (SCREAMS) Something Green, big.
Steve.
Here I am, old man.
STEVE: Simon! Get him! (GROANING) Hi-ya! (GRUNTING) David.
(STEVE GROANING) It's over.
I think that May is going to be a great help to you in the new school.
She will be much better at it, I'm sure, than I will be.
I almost wish I could be going with you.
We had good times together on the road.
Mmm.
Good talk.
And my cooking wasn't that bad, was it? No.
It was fine, as a matter of fact.
You could stay and help also, David.
There's much to do.
No.
I really have to go, Li Sung.
I wish it wasn't this way, but it is.
You know how my demon behaves.
There's other people's lives and property, and now that the creature has shown himself, I think it's better for everybody if I just get out of town.
I understand.
Mr.
McGee called me this morning from Miami.
I played the senile old Chinaman very well, but he's coming anyway.
A persistent man, Mr.
McGee.
Oh, yes, he is very persistent.
I wish we had more time to work on your problem.
I've learned a great deal from you.
Not enough to be much help, I'm afraid.
Enough to give me hope.
I'll miss you.
You're a friend.
They're hard to come by nowadays.
Especially hard-headed Yankees.
If we don't have the years necessary to cure you, perhaps we could afford a few hours.
We could go someplace, listen to some jazz.
I would like that very much.
Fine.
It's a little place near the docks.
Not too far.
