In this episode: Dr. Claudia Baxter (4), Jack McGee (2)
[after hearing that Jack McGee has arrived]
David, can you get rid of him for me?
Claudia--
I'm sorry, I just can't handle these things, I fall apart.
[pause]
Please?
Claudia, you can't keep running from people your entire life.
I know.
Then handle it. You've got to start sometime.
[pause]
All right.
I'm sorry, this area's restricted to authorise personnel.
Well, I just want to ask a couple of questions about that creature that was here. Couldn't we talk inside your lab?
I really don't have the time right now.
Well, I think, Doctor, maybe you oughta make the time. I understand the one thing you don't need is a little more bad publicity.
Mr. McGee, the main thing is--
Look, I just hope that you're not gonna regard this thing as another species to be studied. It's killed two people, you know?
Dr. Baxter, it is worth reminding you that the power of the press can be used to your advantage or to your disadvantage.
Why would someone inject Elliot with AGD-4?
To kill me. Or at least scare me.
What?
Carl locked me in the cage with Elliot.
How did you get out?
I don't know. The creature I guess. I was thrown against a wall by Elliot and I was knocked unconscious.
Why would Carl wanna do that?
Because I knew the chimp wasn't dead.
Oh, come on, that's not worth killing somebody over.
How do we know that? What's this all about? I think it has something to do with the chimp.
And maybe the lion cub, and the Orangutan that died.
Possibly. [pause] Maybe they weren't dead. Maybe they were being sold illegally.
No. I saw the autopsies, they were dead.
And they weren't particularly exotic, were they? There was nothing unique about them?
No, they were typical South African species.
They were all typical South African species?
Right. [pause] What?
I don't know, um... Do you have a paper - today's paper, by any chance?
Of a sort.
I saw a headline the other day.
[Claudia hands David the newspaper, he looks at it]
What?
[reading from the newspaper] "Johannesburg police are still baffled by last months theft of 7.5 million dollars worth of uncut diamonds. The diamonds are believed to have already been smuggled out of South Africa, but there are no leads as to how this was accomplished."
Oh my God, and the animals?
Possibly.
Should we call the police?
[suddenly appears, points a handgun at them] No. That won't be necessary.
750,000 as I promised.
Balance?
After your final delivery. [closes the money case]
[Carl brings David and Claudia in at gunpoint]
[to David and Claudia] Come on, get over there.
You were supposed to handle the situation more subtly, Carl.
I had no choice she was calling the police.
Jagger, I... I don't wanna get involved, please.
You take care of it, Carl, and I'll be back with your final payment after the zebra's autopsy.
No problem.
[Jagger leaves]
Carl, this has already gone too far--
We're gonna need some time up! [moves David and Claudia] Malone, tie him to that beam!
Now look, why don't you just let her go! She can't hurt you!
Too late.
Maybe it's not, Carl--
Shut up! [Malone moves David to the beam] Hurry up, Malone. Tie him, and remember what I told you before, Bradburn. You get outta line and she's dead.
[Malone ties Banner's hands]
Tie her hands too, Malone.
[Malone walks over to Claudia and begins tying her hands. Carl holds out a thing of AGD-4]
And give him a shot of this.
What for?
If 20cc's put that gorilla into a coma, almost half a bottle's gonna do wonder's for him.
Oh my God, Carl!
It's all very simple. You experiment on a man and he dies from an overdose of your aggression drug.
Nobody would ever believe that Claudia would be capable of doing that!
The board of directors already does. Your gonna make a house call on Androcles. [takes Claudia] I'll be right back, Malone. Get it done.
Malone, listen to me! The only crime that you've committed so far has been smuggling. If you give me an overdose of that drug, it'll be murder. Malone! Malone, think about what you're doing! You know what that line'll do to Claudia?! It'll tear her apart! And you can't let that happen! Malone! [Malone holds the injection in his hand, begins walking towards Banner] MALONE, STOP! FOR GOD'S SAKE! DON'T DO IT! [Banner's eyes start turning green] MALONE!...
[Banner transforms into the Hulk, as Malone is about to inject him. The Hulk rips the rope off his arms, startling Malone who drops the injection and falls in front of a truck, knocking him unconscious]
