The Incredible Hulk (1978) s05e02 Episode Script

Just get us out of here, honey.
They have a hostage.
Is it a hostage? Why the escape? I want my baby to come into the world free.
(BARKING) (EXPLOSION) He was giving all the orders, he even took my clothes.
It's coming! (ROARS) 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.
NARRATOR: 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) (BELL RINGING) (MOANING) Is it your time, hon? It's our time.
Now, be cool, please.
Give Sondra your cuffs, sweetheart.
Okay? Come on, mama.
Hurry up, now.
Our limo is waiting.
You can check in the room down the hallway.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Not a sound, or you lose a captain.
Give Sondra the key.
(SOFTLY) Do it! For God's sake.
(LAUGHING) Inside.
Inside! I'm sorry about this.
I was going to leave you a note.
Eight years, and you finally did it.
It's about time.
I've been waiting.
So have I.
Come on.
Get in! I can't wait to see you again, Barbara.
I just can't wait.
Don't worry, you ain't.
Let's go.
(PRISON BELL RINGING) BARBARA: No heroics.
Another felony or two won't make much of a difference in my future.
Just get us out of here, honey.
You'll be all right.
No heroics.
BARBARA: Smart.
Get down.
We all did it! Thank your two godmothers! Oh, and you too, David.
Cool as a cucumber.
Thank you.
Uh-huh.
Where are we going? On a mission of mercy.
Just drive.
DAVID: Where? Alpine.
Just a couple hours away.
We drop Lannie off at her sister's, then Sondra and I head for the border.
With me? (LAUGHS) In a little while, this van is going to stick out like a queen of roses float in a cornfield.
Don't worry about us, honey.
We have got wheels waiting for us in Alpine.
You could take a walk.
No problem.
(ALL EXCLAIM) Are you okay? Uh-huh.
I'm fine.
Pick it back up.
No tricks.
It happens to be a rough road.
Pick it back up.
You might be taking a chance on inducing labor right now.
Now, are you willing to risk that? You just get me to my sister's.
I'll worry about the baby.
(BELL RINGING) (SIREN WAILING) State and local police are on the look-out.
Aircraft is up.
It should be just a matter of a couple of hours and they'll be back.
We don't have the manpower for a full posse.
They might be armed.
They have a hostage.
Is it a hostage? Did you check it out? Sheriff's Office is running a computer check on him.
We should hear soon.
I'm not gonna wait.
Look, they can notify us mobile.
Barbara Davis has been challenging my authority ever since I got to this institution.
There've been two administrations.
Mine and hers.
She's gonna find out, once and for all, there's only room for one.
Mine.
Now, get in the car.
Let's move out.
Another hour, Alpine.
Just hang in there, Lannie.
I guess I should have waited till they finished building the new highway.
Yeah, right.
Oh, that's funny! Oh.
How soon? (METALLIC CLANG) What happened? Uh, I don't know, but I don't like it.
But that noise Yeah.
Get out and check it.
That's great.
Broken tie rod, so that's it.
No.
Well, what are we gonna do? Walk.
With Lannie? Yeah.
And you, cross country.
It'll be overnight and a little cold, but we'll still make Alpine by morning.
Well, a brisk hike might do the kid some good, you know.
I like your spunk, hon.
DAVID: Fine.
You'll be jeopardizing your baby's life and your own.
Uh, maybe he's right.
It is gonna get awfully cold, and it'll be dark soon.
We could get lost.
Maybe we should just stay right here.
You have a short memory, Sondra.
Real short.
I'm not waiting around for Hackett.
You know as well as I do, if she catches up to me, one of us is not going back.
BARBARA: And we made a deal with Lannie.
Her belly for our freedom.
We promised we'd get her to her sister's.
And we couldn't have made that escape without her.
And you can't get to Alpine with her.
So you really don't have much choice.
But what there is of it is mine.
I know where Barbara's coming from.
I'm not dumb.
But we all have our reasons for doing things.
We're walking out of here.
Let's hit it.
Shouldn't we take some linens, just in case? Come on.
Across the river.
No, go this way! Come on.
GRUBB: That was the Sheriff's Department coming back about the delivery man.
He's a drifter.
He's only been on the job a couple of weeks.
His ID belongs to a school teacher in Long Island, New York.
Consider him like all the others.
Armed and dangerous.
Rest.
(LANNIE COUGHS) (MOANS) This is ridiculous.
Every 20 minutes? I'm sorry.
It's harder than I thought.
Rest.
You can't keep up this pace.
Who's in charge here, Dave? Look, I know you can't help it, but the deal was just a two hour drive to your sister's.
Not dragging a pregnant broad halfway across the Rocky Mountains.
I ain't no girl scout.
That's for sure.
You shut up! I think we ought to keep moving, huh? You fall behind, we'll give you Dave here.
At least, we'll all be mobile.
What do you say? I say that we build a fire now.
Otherwise, when morning comes, we're gonna have no mobility at all.
Dave, why don't you just I don't know You know, it doesn't sound like such a bad idea.
I mean, it's cold, Barbara, it's really cold! We can talk about our plans in the morning, you know.
It's just a little fire.
Don't just stand there, huh? Go find some wood.
Okay.
This is ridiculous.
Hungry? It's, uh It's tuna fish.
My luncheon was postponed today and Well, I never quite got around to it.
I forgot it was in my pocket.
Thanks.
Thank you very much.
You want some? No.
No, thank you.
You go ahead.
You need all your strength, if you're gonna continue.
I intend to continue.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand why you're willing to take such a risk.
When I was sentenced to Clayfield seven months ago, I had no idea I was pregnant.
My crime was driving the getaway car in a liquor store robbery.
My boyfriend, Kenny, he kind of talked me into it.
Said we needed the money to get married.
'Course he was the guy who thought a black squirt gun would fool the clerk in the liquor store.
Hmm.
Hooray for Kenny.
How long is your sentence? Sixteen months.
And with time off for being such a model prisoner, I'd have been out in six.
That's what I don't understand.
I mean (SIGHS) Why the escape? Why this insane trek through the mountains? I want my baby to come into the world free.
I don't wanna be strapped down in a prison infirmary, and go through childbirth, only to have them take him away from me.
Away from me for six months.
I can't do that.
I want my baby to be born in freedom.
And I want to share it with him.
When he fills out an application for a job or for college, I want it to say, "Place of birth: Alpine, Wyoming.
" Do you know what I mean? Freedom? Lean forward.
Come on.
(GUN FIRING) So much for due process.
Whatever your personal feelings, you're a public official.
And public officials can get in a lot of trouble blowing away pregnant girls.
Take it easy.
I heard a click.
It was a reflex.
With you and Barbara Davis, it is reflex.
I'm telling you right now.
I am not going to be party to an execution.
Barbara Davis is an escaped felon.
We shall act accordingly.
Move out! (DOGS BARKING) Look, we'll be there by lunch.
You keep up as best you can, but I ain't making any promises.
Nobody ever held my hand.
I'll keep up.
DAVID: Uh, hey, pardon me.
Did you happen to read the sign? And my lips weren't even moving.
Well, I would suggest, we take another route.
(CHUCKLING) Dave, am I going to be glad when we're done with you.
I never could pick a decent man.
Anyway, you are outvoted.
It's Saturday.
And who the heck works on Saturday? (SIGHS) Hit it! Cops do.
Cops work on Saturday.
And so does Hackett.
Okay, ladies, and gent, let's go.
(DOGS BARKING) Hold on, hold on! They'll be just a second.
(EXPLOSION) Mercy's mercy, but it sure don't extend to sainthood.
Come on.
Look, Lannie, don't go! (RUMBLING) (EXPLOSION) (BARKING) Not this way.
Go around.
(BOTH SCREAMING) (BOTH SCREAMING) Stay here! Dave! Come here.
Are you okay? Come on! (SCREAMING) (ROARS) SONDRA: Are you okay? (GRUNTING) (GROANING) (BARKING) (DOG BARKING) Your hand.
It's crushed.
Some bones are broken.
That's all? The boulder went right over it.
Yeah, and that big, green thing Oh! Contractions? (PANTING) I think so.
Oh, no! It ain't Oh! PHIL: Buck.
Hide.
PHIL: Here, Buck.
Here, Buck.
Hey, Buck, where the heck are you? Here, Buck.
Here, Buck.
You mangy, no good Hello.
Hello, yourself.
What's wrong? I was only looking for my dog.
You were looking for him? I was thinking of shooting him.
Oh, it ain't necessary.
Look, lady, you can rob me, you can burn my cabin down, but please don't shoot my dog.
Now, what can I do for you folks? Oh! Oh! (PANTING) You can take us to your cabin right away.
She's about to deliver now.
Anything you say.
Come on.
Let's go.
Hey, quit pushing.
Move! How far is it? Oh, it's just around the bend here.
It's not very far.
(BARKING) Leave it.
Let's go! (LANNIE PANTING) SONDRA: It ain't Alpine, honey.
But at least, it isn't Clayfield.
Speaking of time, I think we better get out of here.
I never was one much for parties.
Yeah, I don't know.
Thanks.
Sure.
I was a medic once, back in Where's your water? Oh, outside in the back.
All right, we're gonna have to fill all of your cooking pots.
We have some sterilizing to do.
Gotcha.
I remember once when Please, let's hurry.
There's not much time.
Okay, okay! Gee, won't even let a guy get a word in edgeways.
(LANNIE MOANING) Look, someone has got to stay.
David's hand is busted and that old man is Where is he? I sent him out for some water.
It's just like the movies.
I never understood what water had to do with it.
Anyway, too many chefs spoil (ENGINE STARTING) Old coot wasn't so crazy after all, was he? (MOANING) Big trouble Listen to me.
Birth is imminent.
There's nothing that I can do without the use of my hand, but I have had some medical training.
I could tell you two exactly what to do, if only you'd stay.
Sorry, Dave.
I just can't do it.
I'll send you a card.
(LANNIE MOANS) Well, you coming? No, I'm staying.
Look, you go.
David saved our lives, and Lannie needs us.
We needed her and now she needs us.
Go! I mean, you said no one ever held your hand.
Well, I wanna hold Lannie's.
Go on.
I can handle it.
Good luck.
What's happening? (PANTING) The water broke.
It's time.
Oh, no.
What am I supposed to do? (LANNIE MOANING) What am I supposed to do with this? That's for keeping the basin lukewarm, all right? Put the baby in it after birth, and then you'll be able to wash off the amniotic fluid.
The ammi what? DAVID: Amniotic fluid, all right.
(MOANING) Get some string.
String? Yeah.
You'll be tying off the umbilical cord after you cut it.
Oh! Oh, God! Oh, my God! DAVID: No, there.
On the icebox.
Oh, oh! Here it is.
Got it.
All right.
Now, I think you better scrub up.
Oh.
Okay.
No, not there! No, no.
Outside, at the well, and take some soap.
Oh.
Oh, David, I'm not any good at birthing babies.
(PANTING HEAVILY) PHIL: I heard all about it on the radio.
And so, after they jumped me, I kind of played it a little dumb, you know, till I could pick my spot.
(CHUCKLING) What about the hostage? Hostage? What hostage? Ha! He was giving all the orders.
He even took my clothes.
He was the ring leader of the whole mob.
Maybe from now on, you'll trust my instincts.
Do you think he could be Barbara Davis' boyfriend? Could have.
Oh, no, I can't.
(MOANING) DAVID: Try it again.
And now push.
Push.
Oh! I can't.
Come on.
Try it again.
Push.
DAVID: Push.
Keep pushing.
I see it.
DAVID: Atta girl.
Come on.
It's a head.
SONDRA: It's a little, bitty head.
It's coming! Come on.
Good.
Good.
It's coming! You've got your baby.
(PANTING) Atta girl.
(BABY CRYING) (SOBBING) Gee, isn't this something.
I mean, I don't believe it, David.
I I mean, everything worked.
I don't believe it, David.
Congratulations.
Congratulations to you, too.
What is it? Oh, gee.
I don't know.
I'll look.
No.
You just hold her.
Oh.
You have a little girl.
Can I hold (GROANING) Contraction? Yes.
A what? (BABY CRYING) Oh, why Why is she crying? Oh, God.
Another baby? Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh What are we gonna do? (DOOR OPENING) (CRYING CONTINUES) Thought I heard some screaming.
Got on my nerves.
How far is it? Oh, just around the bend.
It isn't very far.
Okay.
You better stay here.
There may be trouble.
(DOGS BARKING) Come on, huh? Come on, let's get this over with.
Push that little runt right out of there, Lannie.
Come on.
(PANTING) DAVID: Easy, easy, now.
Come on, keep pushing.
Push.
I can see a little toe! What? There's a little foot there! Stop.
Stop pushing.
Stop pushing.
Relax.
(SIGHS) All right, now listen to me.
We have a footling.
A footling? It means that the foot is coming through first.
Now, unless we turn that child around We will turn the child around.
All right, now just do everything that I say.
Sondra, get some flour.
Hurry.
(CHUCKLES) Fine time to be thinking about baking cookies.
We're gonna use it to coat the abdomen, so it will give you more traction.
Hey, now, wait a minute.
I don't know how I don't have a minute! Listen to me.
I'm listening.
All right.
You'll put one hand on top of the abdomen, and you'll use it to guide yourself.
With the other hand, grab the foot, push it in very, very carefully.
Very carefully.
Then, slowly manipulate the child around, so that the head is facing down, toward the birth canal, and can be delivered naturally.
Do you understand? Yeah, I think so.
All right, go ahead.
Start with the flour.
(MOANS) DAVID: All right.
Fine, fine.
That's enough.
We don't have any time to waste.
Okay.
Take it easy, now.
(PANTING) Whatever happens Shut up, will you? I'm busy working.
I love you.
All of you.
I love you, too.
Here goes nothing.
By the book.
You bet.
(BABY WHIMPERING) BARBARA: Men! (BARBARA AND SONDRA CHUCKLING) BARBARA: Hey, where you going? This time, I have to go.
SONDRA: This is a switch.
I can't be here when the police get here.
I have my reasons.
What is it, Dave? An overdue parking ticket? No, I'll bet you it isn't.
Guess it's time we did something for you.
Being that it don't look like we'll be doing much traveling.
(CHUCKLING) No.
Go on.
Get outta here.
Thanks.
Good luck.
(GROANING) Pretty far off your route, aren't you? My hand is broken.
The cuffs.
Please.
Get him out of the way.
We're moving in.
No! You can't.
There's babies in there.
Babies? DAVID: Twins.
Keep him quiet.
Lob in a round of tear gas.
Let Barbara know I'm here.
Hold it! Let her know through the bullhorn first.
Give me that! Get the dogs.
No! (GUN FIRES) (ROARS) There is no need for that! Drop your gun, Barbara! I don't have a gun! Drop it! You! (EXCLAIMS) (ROARS) (ALL COUGHING) PHIL: I'll get you! (DOGS BARKING) (ROARS) (DOGS WHIMPERING) (COCKS GUN) I'll take that.
(SIGHS) Holy jumping Jehosophat.
SONDRA: Be careful you don't stick yourself.
Hey, lighten up, will you? I'm getting the hang of it.
How're they coming? Don't ask.
I got a call from the state capital.
Your parole will be effective next month.
Really? Really.
That's wonderful.
Thank you.
Warden, what about us? I'm working on it.
So is the press.
You two are heroes.
Oh! (ALL GIGGLE) Big deal.
What's that got to do with it? It means, you probably won't get any additional time for the escape.
Hey, when are the kids coming? I don't know.
They should've been here by now.
I mean, Alpine's only two hours away.
(ALL LAUGHING)
