The Incredible Hulk (1978) s02e23 Episode Script
Vendetta Road
Run! Run, mister! Nobody is going to believe you if you keep breaking the law.
All right, come on out, Floyd! (GUNS FIRING) Your paper's got to be thrilled.
A shoot 'em up and a monster besides.
Westco's gotta pay for what they did to my father.
DAVID: You're gonna die at that refinery.
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) (BIRDS TWITTERING) I'm doing it, Pa.
I'm doing it the only way I know how.
There it is.
That'll be three dollars now.
Thank you, kindly.
You tell Mary-Lou I said howdy, you hear? Hello there.
If you don't mind, I'd like to use your bathroom.
Our facilities are usually just for customers.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
Hi there.
Howdy.
Fill her up? Yeah.
Howdy.
Hey, what do you think you're doing? Don't move, mister.
Now why don't you just take a walk up the road.
Keep on walking and don't turn back.
Come on, honey.
Come on.
Run! Run, mister! Ray! He's hurt! He's hurt! We can't leave him! Hurry, Ray! Cassie, get his bag! Mark, come on, now.
This time I'm right on the Hulk's tail.
Don't pull me off of that and stick me on some local Bonnie and Clyde story, that's never gonna be anything more than filler.
I've Yeah, well, Mark, just because I happen to be in the area doesn't necessarily mean I'm the right guy for the job.
You know what I'm saying? I mean, why don't you try giving this to Henderson.
It sounds like his kind Yeah, but Yeah.
(SIGHS) Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
I guess I'm it.
Give it to me again.
Yeah, Westco's Industries.
I've got that.
Ben Madrid.
Like Spain? Okay.
Head of Securities.
Yeah, Mark, I'll play it up real big.
Sure.
Yeah.
Big.
Real big.
SHERIFF: This is the most recent station that Ray Floyd has blown up.
And as you can see, gentlemen, Floyd's leaving a trail as plain as a spinster with marriage on her mind.
We'll run out of gas stations, for Floyd to blow up.
(ALL CHUCKLING) Jokes aside, Sheriff.
When are you gonna get this kid? Well, I'll let Ben Madrid, Security Chief at Westco Oil answer that.
I intend to continue I mean to say the Sheriff and his men, with the assistance of Westco, will continue to man the roadblocks sealing the county.
The remaining Westco stations in this area will be staked out and we'll wait for a break.
Phone for you, sir.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
What roadblocks is he talking about, Sheriff? SHERIFF: You know, we can't tell you all that.
That's privileged information.
But I can tell ya it's gonna be in this area right up here.
MADRID: Who is it? MAN: It's Mr.
Fielding, calling from his office.
Madrid here.
FIELDING: I hope, Ben, that the reason you haven't called is because you've got everything under control.
He just hit another station.
Outside Shepley.
And he got away again? Yes, sir.
I think this thing is getting a little too big for you to handle on your own.
Mr.
Fielding, sir.
The last time you said that, a man was killed unnecessarily.
Give me now what I wanted then, just a couple more days and I'll bring those two kids in.
Now listen, Ben.
Ray Floyd's gonna cost us more than just a couple of gas stations.
The press is starting to move in.
I can handle the papers, too.
I'm sure you can, Ben.
But I think I should be there just to back you up.
Yes, sir.
(RECEIVER CLICKS) (GROANING) How do you feel, mister? Are you all right? (GROANS) Yeah, I think so.
Well, you couldn't feel any worse than me.
Driving just don't agree with me, you know.
I didn't think you'd ever wake up.
You took a real bad fall.
Yeah.
That's just my husband, Ray.
He saved your life.
Yeah.
He also blew up a gas station.
That's right, mister.
Why would anybody blow up a gas station? I've got my reasons.
Ain't nobody getting killed.
I know what I'm doing, and I don't make mistakes.
Yeah.
My name is Cassie, mister.
Cassie Floyd.
And I'm just as sorry as I can be about this accident.
Look, honey, you don't gotta apologize to this guy, you know, because if it wasn't for you and me he'd be well-done right now.
It still don't hurt to say we're sorry.
What's your name, mister? David Brennan.
Apologize to David, Ray.
I'm sorry.
Well, why don't you just get your stuff and move on now? What are you going to do? Probably the same thing you are, just move on.
Okay.
Well.
Good luck.
Same to you.
HANK: Shh.
I think I see him.
JED: Shouldn't we wait for the sheriff? No, it's Floyd all right.
(GUN FIRING) (GUN FIRES) We better tell the sheriff there are three of them now.
CASSIE: Can we rest here? I feel kind of bad.
Sick to my stomach.
RAY: Sure, honey.
It's gonna take a while to fix the car, (GASPING) And I know this place has been deserted for years.
What is it you're feeling, Cassie? Hey, she just got over the flu.
Cassie? Why don't you just get out of here? Take your stuff and go, that's what you wanted to do in the first place.
Look, I have some medical training.
Maybe I can help.
Ray, please You'll see.
We'll find those kids.
This is a respectable county.
The citizens don't much like people running around blowing up private property.
We got a whole slew of volunteers to help us bring them in.
(CHUCKLES) Everyone's sort of united, you know? The company's sending down that extra equipment.
Make sure your men have covered Route 7 into Henderson.
That could be their next stop.
Now where were we, Mr.
McGee? Yeah.
You were telling me how the Westco people regard these kids as nothing but a nuisance.
Right.
That seems hard to believe considering the command-post situation you got set up here.
Well, the army is habit for me.
And yet my information tells me that you took an early retirement.
Westco pays a lot better than the army.
I guess you could say I did it for the money, you know.
Look, I hate to cut you short, but I've got a little business to attend to, okay? Uh, one more thing.
Have you figured out yet why Floyd is only hitting Westco stations? Why and how doesn't concern me.
My responsibility is to capture the two of them before somebody gets hurt.
MAN: We know where Floyd's hiding out.
The kid says there's three of them at the old Larson cabin.
RAY: We can move out any time, the buggy's ready.
CASSIE: Let me rest just another 10 minutes, honey.
Sure, baby.
She really needs to rest.
Yeah, well, we can't stop now.
We gotta keep moving.
She's extremely fatigued.
She's not gonna get any better if you keep dragging around.
You think I like seeing her like this, huh? Sick, tired? Then why don't you stop? 'Cause I've got a schedule to keep.
Blowing up Westco stations? That is right! I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I woke you.
Ray, why do you do it? Westco killed my father.
I know what happened, David.
Can't you see? In the whole county there was only three independent stations left.
My daddy had flat turned down their offer already.
Him and these other two guys, they were gonna try to stick it out, you know.
Well, then Boom! The next day the other two guys sold out.
You're not gonna prove anything by blowing up gas stations.
All you're gonna do is hurt yourself and Cassie.
David, there's nothing else I can do! Nobody, and I mean nobody, is going to believe you if you keep breaking the law.
Now, if what you say about Westco is true then what you're doing is no better.
What are you saying, huh? That I should go turn myself in to a police department that is already in Westco's pocket? No! All right, if you don't trust the police, go to an attorney.
Let me tell you something, David.
This, your country boy, you see, he already went to an attorney.
One of the biggest and the best in the whole county.
Sherman and Harris, Attorneys at Law.
They wouldn't even touch my case.
Fifty bucks for an appointment and they didn't even wanna take my money.
Hey, there's no way that you can ever understand this.
No way.
You weren't there.
You didn't see what happened.
You didn't see what they did to my father.
You didn't see the station going up in flames.
Tell him, Cassie, will you? Tell him what I'm talking about.
You're not with him, are you? I get it.
I get it now.
Well, you know, you're wrong.
And you're wrong.
And I don't need either one of you.
You've got everything on Floyd that Bantam, my ace reporter, could come up with.
Is that the entire file on Ray Floyd? That's it.
He wasn't much of a newsmaker till he got his hands on a few sticks of dynamite.
I've known Ray Floyd since he was born.
He was a good kid.
Never caused his folks a minute's grief.
How does his family feel about him now? Ray doesn't have any, except the girl.
His mama died when he was a boy, and his daddy was just killed a few months back.
Killed? Yeah, his gas station, out on the highway One night there was a fire Well, Floyd got caught in the explosion.
Was it a Westco station? No.
Bill Floyd was an independent.
Had Westco made him an offer? You metro reporters assume big business is always the bad guy.
Ray Floyd did not wake up one lazy Sunday morning and decide to start blowing up Westco stations just for the fun of it.
Well, I'm not gonna take on the company that almost single-handedly supports this county.
If you and your paper want to make a hero out of the boy, you can do it without my help.
I don't think he'd like my style.
(GASPS) All right, come on out, Floyd! We need this army? Sure, there's three of them now.
SHERIFF: Floyd! What do we do, David? Come out! Do as the man says.
Floyd, put down your weapons and come out.
Put down your weapons and come out.
(COCKING RIFLE) OFFICER: I swear he just took a shot at me.
Just stay down! Floyd's still in there! Hold it! Hold your fire! Hold your fire! We don't have any guns! (SCREAMING) David! Cassie! Hold it and stay down! David, help me! Fire, help! (SHRIEKS) Cassie! David.
(GUNS FIRING) (BULLETS WHIZZING) (ROARING) (SNARLING) OFFICER: Dynamite! Run! Well, boys, what do you think? DEL: That stuff's got a kick like a mule.
Two mules! (GROWLING) I don't believe that.
Look at that.
What's he doing to that girl? Hey! Get away from there! I told you to leave her alone! (SNARLING) Do something, Del.
WAYLON: Boys, come on, now! Whop him upside the head there, boy.
(PANTING) Go on, get back.
I'm warning you.
(GROANING) Oh, Del! (SCREAMING) (ROARS) DEL: Don't just stand there.
Do something! Not me! (BIRDS TWITTERING) (GROANING) Who put you up to it? I was just doing my job.
Was it Fielding? Get the hell out of here.
Mr.
Madrid, I was wondering if I could have a few words with you about the shootout, and the fire, and a green creature that rescued Cassie Floyd.
Your paper's got to be thrilled.
A shoot 'em up and a monster besides.
Well, you have to realize that from the point of view of quarry, the Hulk is as real to me as Ray Floyd is to you.
You're a good reporter, McGee.
What makes you work for a rag like The National Register? What makes you work for a company like Westco? All right, now This is gonna hurt a bit, okay? Hey, is she gonna be all right? I think so.
It's a clean entrance and exit wound.
I hope this stuff works better than it tastes.
Okay Put your head through this.
Attagirl.
We've got to get her to a doctor.
All right, come on now.
(GROANING) Hey, come on, let me do that.
Now, Cassie, listen.
The bleeding is stopped but there's always the danger of infection.
I'm gonna be fine.
Cassie, shut up, will you? Now listen to David.
We gotta get you to a hospital.
CASSIE: I'm not leaving without you.
Cassie, I was crazy to let you come with me in the first place.
You're crazy if you're gonna still try and blow up that refinery.
Cassie, nothing is gonna stop me from blowing them tanks.
Nothing and nobody.
Not even you, honey.
All right.
But I'm your wife and where you go, I go.
(SHUDDERING) Cassie, you should listen to Ray.
I'm not going to the hospital without him.
As long as you're here, I'll be okay.
I can't stay, Cassie, I just can't.
Please, David.
I can't.
You could take care of me just like you did back there.
I think I'm pregnant.
Cassie, it's one thing to threaten your own life, it's quite something else to threaten the life of your baby.
(THUNDER CRACKING) (RAIN PATTERING) (THUNDER RUMBLING) (PHONE RINGING) Hello.
DAVID: Yeah, hello.
Is this the reporter (STATIC INTERFERENCE) Covering the story on Ray Floyd and Westco? Yeah, hello, I think we've got a bad connection here.
It must be the storm.
I'm with Ray and Cassie Floyd now, and they need help before there's more trouble.
What kind of trouble? At the refinery.
You see, Ray is convinced that Westco is responsible for his father's death.
Listen, I can't understand you.
Whose death? His father.
Now, look, I'm just trying to convince Ray that the press isn't going to be one-sided on this issue.
Now, if I can get him to come and talk to you, will you listen to his story? What about the refinery? And what kind of trouble? That's not important.
What? I said that's not important! Important.
Look, I'll meet you there.
Bring Ray to the refinery.
Hello? (DIAL TONE) Hello! Mr.
Madrid, please.
David, what were you doing out there? I was talking to a reporter, Ray.
I really believe you'll get a fair trial if you talk to the press first.
You'll have to tell them your story, but they'll help.
I think it's a little late for that.
You see, Westco's gotta pay for what they did to my father.
Did you tell the papers I was gonna blow up the refinery? I told them I'd call them first.
Well, you were wrong, David.
Blowing the Westco refinery is only gonna prove that everything they've said about you is right.
You're gonna help them prove that you are wrong and you are going to go to jail or even worse, you're gonna die at that refinery.
If it wasn't for Cassie, I could let you walk away from all of this.
But I need your help.
I need your help, David, to make sure that Cassie is going to be all right.
And if I don't cooperate? Then we go alone.
It's as simple as that.
And I don't think I'll be able to stop Cassie from going along with me all the way.
So that's it.
If anybody sees anything unusual, I want to know about it.
I heard the Floyd kid was on his way.
I'm here strictly in a supervisorial capacity, Ben.
You're still in charge.
Yeah.
Just like Bill Floyd.
Mr.
Floyd's death was unavoidable.
No way.
When you sent Spalding down to torch Floyd's place, you had to know there was gonna be trouble.
You were in Dallas on company business, so I had to use another man.
I was in Dallas on your orders.
Floyd was getting ready to sell.
Once he came over, we had the others in our hip pocket.
Well, they sold out anyway.
And at a lower price.
Oh.
Well, I guess Floyd didn't die in vain then.
Don't be so self-righteous, Madrid.
You're just damn lucky I'm keeping what I know to myself.
Well, if you did tell anyone, they'd subpoena my records.
Let's see, there was that bribe you made to a certain senator.
And that episode down in Mexico.
And, you know, that sheik never did fully recover from his wife's indiscretion.
But you know all about these incidents.
That's right.
But like we used to say in the army, I was just following orders.
Orders.
(CHUCKLES) You tell the police you were just following orders.
When Floyd arrives, I want you to use Spalding.
You can trust him the same way I trust you.
McGee, I want you to turn this car around and get out of here.
Well, I admit I didn't have an engraved invitation, but then I didn't know you were throwing a party.
Then what are you doing here? My sources informed me that you always go where the action goes.
You got just one job today.
Keep that reporter out of the refinery.
You wouldn't want to cheat your friend out of a headline, would you? I don't want that man hurt.
If he got in the line of fire David, get Cassie to the hospital.
Cassie, I love you.
You don't have to do this, Ray.
Yes, I do, honey.
What kind of a son would I be if I stopped now? It's not just the name, it's what my father meant to me.
I loved him.
Cassie, tell him.
(EXCLAIMS) Tell me what, honey? I'm gonna have our baby.
Now, Ray.
Ray, listen to me.
You can still call and tell that reporter.
Tell him your story.
He can help you.
It's not too late.
(TIRES SCREECHING) Yes, it is, David.
You take care of Cassie.
CASSIE: Ray, be careful! Now lift your hands.
She's been shot! (SHRIEKS) Take her to a hospital! David! Hey, take it easy on her! She's got hurt! (SCREAMING) Watch it.
She's pregnant! David! OFFICER: Look, we don't want to hurt you, lady.
David! Where is your husband? David! All right, looks like Harry needs some help with the girl.
Ray! Ray! David! All right, lady, in the car.
It's over.
It's over.
CASSIE: Ray! Ray! David! David! (GROWLING) (GASPS) What? (SHOUTING) (EXCLAIMING) (SCREAMING) (GASPS) OFFICER: I don't believe it.
OFFICER: What is that thing? Where did it come from? (EXCLAIMS) OFFICER 2: Get on the horn to Madrid! Madrid, Madrid.
This is Patrol 416.
Floyd got through.
All right, I'll be right there.
Miserable.
Floyd got through.
Well, let's go.
I'll take care of it.
I'll get the rifle.
(WHISPERING) You wanna blow us all to hell? I'll go around him.
WOMAN ON RADIO: Okay, number Four.
Chopper on route.
Floyd.
Get up and step away from that satchel.
Now turn around real slowly.
Be smart, kid.
Put the dynamite down.
I never figured on getting out of here alive.
And you won't either.
(GRUNTS) (SCREAMS) (ROARS) You crazy (BOTH GRUNTING) MADRID: Dynamite.
He has the dynamite.
(EXCLAIMS) Throw it! Throw it! Throw it! (GROWLS) (SNARLING) MAN ON PA: This is the police.
On the ground.
Do not move.
I repeat.
Do not move.
MAN: Dispatch, coming down.
Madrid got one.
WOMAN: Roger.
FIELDING: What are you waiting for? Kill him! I'll see you never work again, Madrid! I think you're wrong about that, Mr.
Fielding.
You gonna have time for that interview now, Mr.
Madrid? MAN ON TV: Earlier today, in testimony before the Grand Jury, Westco Industries' security chief Ben Madrid admitted his involvement in numerous crimes for that company.
His testimony implicated John Fielding, a Westco Vice President, in political buy-offs, extortion and murder.
Mr.
Fielding was unavailable for comment.
The Westco Board of Directors, eager to clear the company's name, has offered to help Ben Madrid with his defense.
Ray Floyd, whose vendetta against Westco led to the Grand Jury investigation, took time out from the trial proceedings to visit his wife in the hospital.
The Floyds are expecting their first child in five months.
WOMAN ON INTERCOM: Mr.
Fielding? Mr.
Fielding, would you please answer some of these calls? Mr.
Fielding?
All right, come on out, Floyd! (GUNS FIRING) Your paper's got to be thrilled.
A shoot 'em up and a monster besides.
Westco's gotta pay for what they did to my father.
DAVID: You're gonna die at that refinery.
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.

Mr.

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) (BIRDS TWITTERING) I'm doing it, Pa.
I'm doing it the only way I know how.
There it is.
That'll be three dollars now.
Thank you, kindly.
You tell Mary-Lou I said howdy, you hear? Hello there.
If you don't mind, I'd like to use your bathroom.
Our facilities are usually just for customers.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
Hi there.
Howdy.
Fill her up? Yeah.
Howdy.
Hey, what do you think you're doing? Don't move, mister.
Now why don't you just take a walk up the road.
Keep on walking and don't turn back.
Come on, honey.
Come on.
Run! Run, mister! Ray! He's hurt! He's hurt! We can't leave him! Hurry, Ray! Cassie, get his bag! Mark, come on, now.
This time I'm right on the Hulk's tail.
Don't pull me off of that and stick me on some local Bonnie and Clyde story, that's never gonna be anything more than filler.
I've Yeah, well, Mark, just because I happen to be in the area doesn't necessarily mean I'm the right guy for the job.
You know what I'm saying? I mean, why don't you try giving this to Henderson.
It sounds like his kind Yeah, but Yeah.
(SIGHS) Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
I guess I'm it.
Give it to me again.
Yeah, Westco's Industries.
I've got that.
Ben Madrid.
Like Spain? Okay.
Head of Securities.
Yeah, Mark, I'll play it up real big.
Sure.
Yeah.
Big.
Real big.
SHERIFF: This is the most recent station that Ray Floyd has blown up.
And as you can see, gentlemen, Floyd's leaving a trail as plain as a spinster with marriage on her mind.
We'll run out of gas stations, for Floyd to blow up.
(ALL CHUCKLING) Jokes aside, Sheriff.
When are you gonna get this kid? Well, I'll let Ben Madrid, Security Chief at Westco Oil answer that.
I intend to continue I mean to say the Sheriff and his men, with the assistance of Westco, will continue to man the roadblocks sealing the county.
The remaining Westco stations in this area will be staked out and we'll wait for a break.
Phone for you, sir.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
What roadblocks is he talking about, Sheriff? SHERIFF: You know, we can't tell you all that.
That's privileged information.
But I can tell ya it's gonna be in this area right up here.
MADRID: Who is it? MAN: It's Mr.
Fielding, calling from his office.
Madrid here.
FIELDING: I hope, Ben, that the reason you haven't called is because you've got everything under control.
He just hit another station.
Outside Shepley.
And he got away again? Yes, sir.
I think this thing is getting a little too big for you to handle on your own.
Mr.
Fielding, sir.
The last time you said that, a man was killed unnecessarily.
Give me now what I wanted then, just a couple more days and I'll bring those two kids in.
Now listen, Ben.
Ray Floyd's gonna cost us more than just a couple of gas stations.
The press is starting to move in.
I can handle the papers, too.
I'm sure you can, Ben.
But I think I should be there just to back you up.
Yes, sir.
(RECEIVER CLICKS) (GROANING) How do you feel, mister? Are you all right? (GROANS) Yeah, I think so.
Well, you couldn't feel any worse than me.
Driving just don't agree with me, you know.
I didn't think you'd ever wake up.
You took a real bad fall.
Yeah.
That's just my husband, Ray.
He saved your life.
Yeah.
He also blew up a gas station.
That's right, mister.
Why would anybody blow up a gas station? I've got my reasons.
Ain't nobody getting killed.
I know what I'm doing, and I don't make mistakes.
Yeah.
My name is Cassie, mister.
Cassie Floyd.
And I'm just as sorry as I can be about this accident.
Look, honey, you don't gotta apologize to this guy, you know, because if it wasn't for you and me he'd be well-done right now.
It still don't hurt to say we're sorry.
What's your name, mister? David Brennan.
Apologize to David, Ray.
I'm sorry.
Well, why don't you just get your stuff and move on now? What are you going to do? Probably the same thing you are, just move on.
Okay.
Well.
Good luck.
Same to you.
HANK: Shh.
I think I see him.
JED: Shouldn't we wait for the sheriff? No, it's Floyd all right.
(GUN FIRING) (GUN FIRES) We better tell the sheriff there are three of them now.
CASSIE: Can we rest here? I feel kind of bad.
Sick to my stomach.
RAY: Sure, honey.
It's gonna take a while to fix the car, (GASPING) And I know this place has been deserted for years.
What is it you're feeling, Cassie? Hey, she just got over the flu.
Cassie? Why don't you just get out of here? Take your stuff and go, that's what you wanted to do in the first place.
Look, I have some medical training.
Maybe I can help.
Ray, please You'll see.
We'll find those kids.

CASSIE: Let me rest just another 10 minutes, honey.
Sure, baby.
She really needs to rest.
Yeah, well, we can't stop now.
We gotta keep moving.
She's extremely fatigued.
She's not gonna get any better if you keep dragging around.
You think I like seeing her like this, huh? Sick, tired? Then why don't you stop? 'Cause I've got a schedule to keep.
Blowing up Westco stations? That is right! I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I woke you.
Ray, why do you do it? Westco killed my father.
I know what happened, David.
Can't you see? In the whole county there was only three independent stations left.
My daddy had flat turned down their offer already.
Him and these other two guys, they were gonna try to stick it out, you know.

David, there's nothing else I can do! Nobody, and I mean nobody, is going to believe you if you keep breaking the law.
Now, if what you say about Westco is true then what you're doing is no better.
What are you saying, huh? That I should go turn myself in to a police department that is already in Westco's pocket? No! All right, if you don't trust the police, go to an attorney.
Let me tell you something, David.
This, your country boy, you see, he already went to an attorney.
One of the biggest and the best in the whole county.
Sherman and Harris, Attorneys at Law.
They wouldn't even touch my case.
Fifty bucks for an appointment and they didn't even wanna take my money.
Hey, there's no way that you can ever understand this.
No way.
You weren't there.
You didn't see what happened.
You didn't see what they did to my father.
You didn't see the station going up in flames.
Tell him, Cassie, will you? Tell him what I'm talking about.
You're not with him, are you? I get it.
I get it now.
Well, you know, you're wrong.
And you're wrong.
And I don't need either one of you.
You've got everything on Floyd that Bantam, my ace reporter, could come up with.
Is that the entire file on Ray Floyd? That's it.
He wasn't much of a newsmaker till he got his hands on a few sticks of dynamite.
I've known Ray Floyd since he was born.
He was a good kid.
Never caused his folks a minute's grief.
How does his family feel about him now? Ray doesn't have any, except the girl.
His mama died when he was a boy, and his daddy was just killed a few months back.
Killed? Yeah, his gas station, out on the highway One night there was a fire Well, Floyd got caught in the explosion.
Was it a Westco station? No.
Bill Floyd was an independent.
Had Westco made him an offer? You metro reporters assume big business is always the bad guy.
Ray Floyd did not wake up one lazy Sunday morning and decide to start blowing up Westco stations just for the fun of it.
Well, I'm not gonna take on the company that almost single-handedly supports this county.
If you and your paper want to make a hero out of the boy, you can do it without my help.
I don't think he'd like my style.
(GASPS) All right, come on out, Floyd! We need this army? Sure, there's three of them now.
SHERIFF: Floyd! What do we do, David? Come out! Do as the man says.
Floyd, put down your weapons and come out.
Put down your weapons and come out.
(COCKING RIFLE) OFFICER: I swear he just took a shot at me.
Just stay down! Floyd's still in there! Hold it! Hold your fire! Hold your fire! We don't have any guns! (SCREAMING) David! Cassie! Hold it and stay down! David, help me! Fire, help! (SHRIEKS) Cassie! David.
(GUNS FIRING) (BULLETS WHIZZING) (ROARING) (SNARLING) OFFICER: Dynamite! Run! Well, boys, what do you think? DEL: That stuff's got a kick like a mule.
Two mules! (GROWLING) I don't believe that.
Look at that.
What's he doing to that girl? Hey! Get away from there! I told you to leave her alone! (SNARLING) Do something, Del.
WAYLON: Boys, come on, now! Whop him upside the head there, boy.
(PANTING) Go on, get back.
I'm warning you.
(GROANING) Oh, Del! (SCREAMING) (ROARS) DEL: Don't just stand there.
Do something! Not me! (BIRDS TWITTERING) (GROANING) Who put you up to it? I was just doing my job.
Was it Fielding? Get the hell out of here.
Mr.
Madrid, I was wondering if I could have a few words with you about the shootout, and the fire, and a green creature that rescued Cassie Floyd.
Your paper's got to be thrilled.
A shoot 'em up and a monster besides.
Well, you have to realize that from the point of view of quarry, the Hulk is as real to me as Ray Floyd is to you.
You're a good reporter, McGee.
What makes you work for a rag like The National Register? What makes you work for a company like Westco? All right, now This is gonna hurt a bit, okay? Hey, is she gonna be all right? I think so.
It's a clean entrance and exit wound.
I hope this stuff works better than it tastes.
Okay Put your head through this.
Attagirl.
We've got to get her to a doctor.
All right, come on now.
(GROANING) Hey, come on, let me do that.
Now, Cassie, listen.
The bleeding is stopped but there's always the danger of infection.
I'm gonna be fine.
Cassie, shut up, will you? Now listen to David.
We gotta get you to a hospital.
CASSIE: I'm not leaving without you.
Cassie, I was crazy to let you come with me in the first place.
You're crazy if you're gonna still try and blow up that refinery.
Cassie, nothing is gonna stop me from blowing them tanks.
Nothing and nobody.
Not even you, honey.
All right.
But I'm your wife and where you go, I go.
(SHUDDERING) Cassie, you should listen to Ray.
I'm not going to the hospital without him.
As long as you're here, I'll be okay.
I can't stay, Cassie, I just can't.
Please, David.
I can't.
You could take care of me just like you did back there.
I think I'm pregnant.
Cassie, it's one thing to threaten your own life, it's quite something else to threaten the life of your baby.
(THUNDER CRACKING) (RAIN PATTERING) (THUNDER RUMBLING) (PHONE RINGING) Hello.
DAVID: Yeah, hello.
Is this the reporter (STATIC INTERFERENCE) Covering the story on Ray Floyd and Westco? Yeah, hello, I think we've got a bad connection here.
It must be the storm.
I'm with Ray and Cassie Floyd now, and they need help before there's more trouble.
What kind of trouble? At the refinery.
You see, Ray is convinced that Westco is responsible for his father's death.
Listen, I can't understand you.
Whose death? His father.
Now, look, I'm just trying to convince Ray that the press isn't going to be one-sided on this issue.
Now, if I can get him to come and talk to you, will you listen to his story? What about the refinery? And what kind of trouble? That's not important.
What? I said that's not important! Important.
Look, I'll meet you there.
Bring Ray to the refinery.
Hello? (DIAL TONE) Hello! Mr.
Madrid, please.
David, what were you doing out there? I was talking to a reporter, Ray.
I really believe you'll get a fair trial if you talk to the press first.
You'll have to tell them your story, but they'll help.
I think it's a little late for that.
You see, Westco's gotta pay for what they did to my father.
Did you tell the papers I was gonna blow up the refinery? I told them I'd call them first.
Well, you were wrong, David.
Blowing the Westco refinery is only gonna prove that everything they've said about you is right.
You're gonna help them prove that you are wrong and you are going to go to jail or even worse, you're gonna die at that refinery.
If it wasn't for Cassie, I could let you walk away from all of this.
But I need your help.
I need your help, David, to make sure that Cassie is going to be all right.
And if I don't cooperate? Then we go alone.
It's as simple as that.
And I don't think I'll be able to stop Cassie from going along with me all the way.
So that's it.
If anybody sees anything unusual, I want to know about it.
I heard the Floyd kid was on his way.
I'm here strictly in a supervisorial capacity, Ben.
You're still in charge.
Yeah.
Just like Bill Floyd.
Mr.
Floyd's death was unavoidable.
No way.
When you sent Spalding down to torch Floyd's place, you had to know there was gonna be trouble.
You were in Dallas on company business, so I had to use another man.
I was in Dallas on your orders.
Floyd was getting ready to sell.
Once he came over, we had the others in our hip pocket.
Well, they sold out anyway.
And at a lower price.
Oh.
Well, I guess Floyd didn't die in vain then.
Don't be so self-righteous, Madrid.
You're just damn lucky I'm keeping what I know to myself.
Well, if you did tell anyone, they'd subpoena my records.
Let's see, there was that bribe you made to a certain senator.
And that episode down in Mexico.
And, you know, that sheik never did fully recover from his wife's indiscretion.
But you know all about these incidents.
That's right.
But like we used to say in the army, I was just following orders.
Orders.
(CHUCKLES) You tell the police you were just following orders.
When Floyd arrives, I want you to use Spalding.
You can trust him the same way I trust you.
McGee, I want you to turn this car around and get out of here.
Well, I admit I didn't have an engraved invitation, but then I didn't know you were throwing a party.
Then what are you doing here? My sources informed me that you always go where the action goes.
You got just one job today.
Keep that reporter out of the refinery.
You wouldn't want to cheat your friend out of a headline, would you? I don't want that man hurt.
If he got in the line of fire David, get Cassie to the hospital.
Cassie, I love you.
You don't have to do this, Ray.
Yes, I do, honey.
What kind of a son would I be if I stopped now? It's not just the name, it's what my father meant to me.
I loved him.
Cassie, tell him.
(EXCLAIMS) Tell me what, honey? I'm gonna have our baby.
Now, Ray.
Ray, listen to me.
You can still call and tell that reporter.
Tell him your story.
He can help you.
It's not too late.
(TIRES SCREECHING) Yes, it is, David.
You take care of Cassie.
CASSIE: Ray, be careful! Now lift your hands.
She's been shot! (SHRIEKS) Take her to a hospital! David! Hey, take it easy on her! She's got hurt! (SCREAMING) Watch it.
She's pregnant! David! OFFICER: Look, we don't want to hurt you, lady.
David! Where is your husband? David! All right, looks like Harry needs some help with the girl.
Ray! Ray! David! All right, lady, in the car.
It's over.
It's over.
CASSIE: Ray! Ray! David! David! (GROWLING) (GASPS) What? (SHOUTING) (EXCLAIMING) (SCREAMING) (GASPS) OFFICER: I don't believe it.
OFFICER: What is that thing? Where did it come from? (EXCLAIMS) OFFICER 2: Get on the horn to Madrid! Madrid, Madrid.
This is Patrol 416.
Floyd got through.
All right, I'll be right there.
Miserable.
Floyd got through.
Well, let's go.
I'll take care of it.
I'll get the rifle.
(WHISPERING) You wanna blow us all to hell? I'll go around him.
WOMAN ON RADIO: Okay, number Four.
Chopper on route.
Floyd.
Get up and step away from that satchel.
Now turn around real slowly.
Be smart, kid.
Put the dynamite down.
I never figured on getting out of here alive.
And you won't either.
(GRUNTS) (SCREAMS) (ROARS) You crazy (BOTH GRUNTING) MADRID: Dynamite.
He has the dynamite.
(EXCLAIMS) Throw it! Throw it! Throw it! (GROWLS) (SNARLING) MAN ON PA: This is the police.
On the ground.
Do not move.
I repeat.
Do not move.
MAN: Dispatch, coming down.
Madrid got one.
WOMAN: Roger.
FIELDING: What are you waiting for? Kill him! I'll see you never work again, Madrid! I think you're wrong about that, Mr.
Fielding.
You gonna have time for that interview now, Mr.
Madrid? MAN ON TV: Earlier today, in testimony before the Grand Jury, Westco Industries' security chief Ben Madrid admitted his involvement in numerous crimes for that company.
His testimony implicated John Fielding, a Westco Vice President, in political buy-offs, extortion and murder.
Mr.
Fielding was unavailable for comment.
The Westco Board of Directors, eager to clear the company's name, has offered to help Ben Madrid with his defense.
Ray Floyd, whose vendetta against Westco led to the Grand Jury investigation, took time out from the trial proceedings to visit his wife in the hospital.
The Floyds are expecting their first child in five months.
WOMAN ON INTERCOM: Mr.
Fielding? Mr.
Fielding, would you please answer some of these calls? Mr.
Fielding?
