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.
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.
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.
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!
Jeez, I better warm him up a little.
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...
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.
Money's all here, Steve.
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.
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.
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.
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.
