You know, I'm particularly interested in your theory
on anger in animals being induced biochemically.
It's dead.
I'm afraid that new janitor is suspicious.
CARL: He's not gonna interfere anymore.

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.
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.

JOE: That about does it, David.
Let's get out of here.
Aren't too many creatures more unpredictable than a pregnant elephant.
Well, I really do appreciate
your taking the time to show me the ropes.
Well, after all, if you're going to be working around my animals,
I want to make sure you're gonna treat them right.
You ready for your next lesson?
Sure.
Well, that's good.
'Cause we're on our way to cleaning the reptile house.
(GROANS)
Well, now life would be very dull
if all God's creatures were warm and furry.
You civilians are all alike.
Well, I'll tell you what, why don't I just
go clean up the research lab and I'll let you
Iive with the lizards.
(LlON ROARlNG) Why the research lab?
Well, I understand
the doctor there is rather attractive.
Dr. Baxter?
Don't get your hopes up.
Unless you're going disguised as an ape.
What?
Well, she'd sooner spend her time
with her microscope and lab animals
than anything else.
Very devoted, huh?
She's devoted to her weirdo research.
If she had spent less time studying animal aggression
and more time doctoring,
maybe that lion cub and orangutan
wouldn't have died last month.
Hmm.
Well, I'd like to meet her anyway.
Well, suit yourself.
Sometimes, in the afternoons
she takes walks down by the children's zoo.
But remember,
a man's known by the company he keeps.
Mmm-hmm.
I guess that's why you hang out with the tigers.

(CHlLDREN CHATTERlNG)
DAVlD: They certainly seem to like you.
Probably because they know that you like them.
I saw your picture in Anthropology Monthly.
Yes. It was quite an article.
It certainly pointed out how controversial your work is.
Unfortunately.
I'm really fascinated by the research you're doing.
As a matter of fact, that's why I came to the zoo.
You on a fellowship?
No, I work for Joe. I'm just a keeper.
You're interested in my work?
Well, I'm particularly interested
in the studies you've been doing
on aggression in animals, and how to control their anger.
I probably should explain. I...
I had a little pre-med at Berkeley
and a couple of years of animal husbandry.
My wife was a research scientist.
Was? Yes, she died last year.
The article I read was three months old.
I was sort of curious as to how you're progressing.
Well, if you're that interested,
why don't you just stop by the lab later on
and I'll try to bring you up to date.
I've got some charts and papers that explain it in basic terms.
Could your lab use cleaning right now?
You are curious, Mr...
Bradburn. David Bradburn.
Okay, come on.
(SQUlSHlNG)
Stepping in something is an occupational hazard around here.
Welcome to the zoo.
Dr. Baxter? Yeah.
The Stanford Foundation called again.
I think it's about how you're spending their grant money.
Oh, maybe you better get Dr. Malone to handle that.
He's better with those people than I am.
Right.
And if Dr. Malone should call,
would you tell him I'm in the back lab with Elliot and Mr...
Bradburn. David Bradburn.
Sorry. Of course.
CLAUDlA: My lab's in here.
(ANlMALS CALLlNG)
You looking for me, Carl?
Just leaving you a reminder.
We still haven't had that candlelight dinner.
No, we haven't.
How about tonight?
No, I can't tonight.
Okay.
Don't forget I can be a big help
in getting that grant money for you.
That's charming. Yes.
(SlGHlNG) I'm not very good at social games.
I'll get those charts you wanted to see.
(GRUNTlNG)
Doctor.
Elliot, come on.
Now, you know you're not supposed to be out here.
What is it? What do you want?
You want a snack?
You wanna throw me one of those apples over there?
Sure.
I don't really think he's hungry.
He does this mostly for attention.
Don't you, Elliot? Yes.
It's all right. Calm down. Ooh!
There. Okay, go back in and behave yourself.
No more of this.
He's not dangerous.
He's got the strength to pull out both your arms if he wanted to,
but he's got the temperament of a pussycat.
That's very comforting.
Actually, I think he's a little jealous of our latest arrival.
Huh?
There.
Oh, well now, that is more my size.
(SQUEAKlNG)
Just arrived this morning from South Africa.
I love all the primates, but these are kind of special.
Hmm. Better not let Elliot hear you say that.
You know, I'm particularly interested in your theory
on anger in animals being induced biochemically rather than psychologically.
Now, have you had much success
with duplicating an amino acid combination of the DNA
that you feel is responsible
for violent behavior in specific animals?
You seem to have a fairly thorough knowledge of this subject.
(SCOFFS)
If that's the area you're interested in, I suggest you read this.
The collected articles of Dr. David Banner.
You familiar with his work?
Yes, I am.
Well, then you know that he can be terribly long-winded.
Yes, he can.
But some of his theories are brilliant.
And I've been trying to carry on his work since his death.
But he must've known the adenine-thymine combination in the DNA
had a direct effect on strength and aggression.
Yeah, he suspected it.
But his last published papers had no proof.
No positive proof, anyway.
If he knew anything, that knowledge died with him in the fire.
I'm just sorry that I never had a chance to meet him.
Is Elliot part of the experiment?
Right.
Elliot thrives in captivity.
He's adapted and he functions very well.
But Elliot had a brother who had a violent temper
and couldn't be tamed at all.
Now these two were raised
under identical psychological conditions,
so I had to find the difference between the two.
Did you? Yes.
I discovered that his brother had something missing in his transfer RNA.
Yes, uracil nucleotides.
Exactly.
How would you know that?
Well, I told you, I know Dr. Banner's work very well.
Yeah, I guess so.
Anyway, I isolated the amino acid that had caused the malfunction.
And if I can duplicate that, then I might be able to find an antidote.
Yeah, something like a tranquilizer.
Exactly. A chemical that can finally control
anger and violence in animals.
And humans.
Have you developed AGD compounds?
Yeah, I've got the latest one right here.
Here.
"AGD-4"?
Well, I've taken it a step further
than Banner had before he died.
All right, how are the lab tests with the animals?
Well, I've only tried it out on the rodents.
They go into a few minutes of minimal brain activity,
it's like a deep sleep, and then...
Yes?
And then they fly into an uncontrollable rage.
It's really terrifying to see.
It's almost as if they turn into a whole different creature.
(SlGHlNG)
So, what do you do next?
I don't know. I don't know. I've hit a block.
I've exhausted all the enzyme alternatives.
Have you tried taking the AGD
a generation further
with radiation?
It's a highly speculative, very advanced idea.
No, I just... I thought that you might try radiation.
It may be the breakthrough that you're looking for.
And, if you find that,
well, the anti-aggression drug
may be a little easier to create.
(PHONE BUZZlNG)
Yeah?
RlTA: Dr. Malone's on his way.
Guess what?
He's arranged a stay of execution for Androcles.
Fantastic!
Don't tell me.
Androcles. A lion?
Right.
Got him from the circus.
Brutalized beyond belief.
He was starved, beaten,
and finally brought to us after he turned on his trainer.
Now I'd like to use him as a test case in the anti-aggression drug,
once I create it.
He's a killer.
Poor thing.
(DOOR OPENlNG)
Well, how are you today, Claudia?
Fantastic!
(CHlMP CHATTERlNG)
Rita told you about Androcles?
Mmm-hmm.
I wanted to tell you myself.
She was just too excited to wait.
Oh, David, this is Dr. Malone, my boss,
and the reason I'm not waiting tables somewhere.
This is David Bradburn.
We were just discussing my experiments. Hello.
You're working with Joe?
Yes, yes, I am.
Well, now, I'll admit that
Dr. Baxter's experiments are extremely
attractive,
but, you know, if we had too many people like you around here,
we never would get the place cleaned up, would we?
No, sir, I guess you wouldn't.
Well, Dr. Baxter, thank you...
Claudia, please. Claudia.
Doctor.
When did you start giving seminars for the hired help?
Well, I'm just the hired help, too, you know. Uh-huh.
Is the Stanford Foundation going to renew my grant?
Since your magazine article, it's shaky, but...
Well, Claudia, there's one other thing.
The board wants a hearing
on the death of the lion cub and the orangutan.
Now, I know they died from a simple viral infection, but...
Well, it's very informal. Strictly routine.
Yeah.
To see if I'm negligent.
Now, Claudia,
you know that you're subject to criticism more than most.
Your aggression research has made you highly controversial.
And you know how seriously I take my veterinary work.
Now if those animals were that badly infected,
I couldn't have missed the symptoms.
Will you let me worry about the hearings?
Continue with your research. Do what counts.
How's the new chimp?
Clean bill of health. Not even a hint of a virus.
He'll be put in with the others later this afternoon.
MALONE: Cute little fella.
Joe, if you're looking for me at lunchtime,
I will be up in the research lab.
That makes it the fourth day straight.
Well, I'm learning a lot from Dr. Baxter.
JOE: Mmm-hmm.
(ANlMALS CALLlNG)
Something wrong?
No, I can manage.
That's the new chimp that was brought in, wasn't it?
What's the matter with it?
It's dead.
Are you sure? I think you're mistaken.
MALONE: What are you doing?
Oh, Dr. Malone. I don't think that this animal is dead,
but rather in a comatose state.
I really think we could save its life.
No, I'm afraid it's too late. He's gone.
Take the animal to pathology.
Doctor, I just think if we re-examine...
Mr. Bradburn, is it?
Yes.
I appreciate your concern for the animals.
But I'm a doctor
and diagnosing them is my responsibility.
Need I remind you what yours is?
Is this the latest delivery?
They're at the bottom.
A million dollar bag of popcorn.
Amusing.
I was looking at your next autopsy.
It's too risky to have another animal die that soon.
That's not my problem. We have an agreement.
I'm afraid that new janitor is suspicious.
He doesn't know anything. He knows the monkey wasn't dead.
He's not gonna interfere anymore.
Let's be certain.
Well, I can't just fire him.
He might get more suspicious and go to the board.
I don't want anybody hurt.
I'll think of something.
I've got a meeting.
I'm afraid your boss doesn't have the stomach for this business.
He gets nervous.
However, if you were to up the ante, I could take care of things.
All right.
I'll leave it up to you to scare him off.
Be creative.
CLAUDlA: Elliot looks like he's getting a permanent.
DAVlD: Would you say that if he wasn't tranquilized?
What do you think?
All right, it's been 30 minutes
since we injected the hybrid DNA strand into his spinal fluid.
Already? Okay.
Show him the pictures. Okay.
(DAVlD SlGHlNG)
The graph is still steady.
Makes sense.
For a natural instinctive friend.
(GRUNTlNG)
Steady.
(GROWLlNG)
Slight fluctuation.
But a lion would normally kick that needle
right off the graph, wouldn't it? Right, right.
Maybe we are getting closer to isolating the anti-anger compound.
Yeah. Let's go on.
(GROWLS)
DAVlD: Slight fluctuation.
Steady.
That the same kind of monkey that died?
Let's stop for a while, okay?
Claudia,
did you perform the autopsy?
No, Dr. Malone said that the board wanted him to do it personally.
Mmm-hmm.
Well, l...
I think I should tell you.
When Carl and Malone
took the monkey out of that cage,
it wasn't dead.
If it wasn't dead, why didn't they try to save it?
I don't know.
Well, I'm sure because they couldn't.
The pathology report showed that that monkey died of the same virus
that killed the lion cub and the orangutan last month.
No, no, we don't know that.
You didn't perform the autopsy.
I examined the tissues myself under the microscope.
I still can't believe that I could miss diagnosing
the same viral infection three times.
Neither can l.
(SlGHlNG)
Hey.
When was the last time you ate?
Oh, I don't know.
Breakfast. Hmm?
Yesterday.
Tell you what.
If you help me
put Elliot back into his little home,
I'll buy you a sumptuous meal.
Okay.
Sumptuous.
(PEOPLE CHATTERlNG) Well, filling.
How about "thoughtful"?
How about mustard?
Sure, why not.
(CHUCKLlNG)
Very artistic. Certainly a Renaissance man here.
What are you, David?
Okay,
where do you live?
Well, I have a room down on Fulton Street.
Just a room?
Yeah.
Well, that's not so curious.
I understand you live in your lab.
(BlRDS CHlRPlNG)
What do you know about him?
A lot more than I know about you.
Where are you from?
Most recently, New York City.
(CHUCKLlNG) Speaking of which...
My favorite paper.
The National Register?
Yeah.
I don't like big cities.
They make me feel very insignificant.
You know what?
I think
you should move past your insecurities.
I saw your lab diary.
You made several significant discoveries before Dr. Banner.
Why didn't you publish them first?
Well, Dr. Malone didn't think they were very important.
He wanted to avoid the controversy.
Dr. Malone?
Hmm.
Did he perform the autopsy
on the lion cub and the orangutan?
Mmm-hmm. Why?
Just curious.
(BlRDS CHlRPlNG)
Okay, Elliot.
(GRUNTlNG)
Come on, now, boy.
DAVlD: So that's Androcles?
I think he could definitely use a little anti-aggression medication.
Sad, isn't it?
The king of beasts turned into a killer
by supposedly civilized human beings.
(GROWLlNG)
Wonder why we're not the ones in cages, sometimes.
You find your own species a big disappointment, don't you, Claudia?
Usually.
It's rare that I get a pleasant surprise.
Like meeting an assistant keeper
who's an expert in bio-molecular structure.
David, it would be nice if you became my assistant.

Oh, it's okay.
I've gotta go back and check on the new zebra anyway.
I'll see you later.
Hop in, I'll give you a lift.
It's Elliot. Is he okay?
Yeah. He just made a mess.
Oh, my God. Carl, where did all the glass come from?

Was it really green?
And enormous.
The musculature was extremely developed,
but the skull structure was very primitive.
It was violently angry.

I hope I've convinced the board of directors
that that creature might be connected with Claudia's experiments.
Yeah. With their attention focused on her, it'll make it a lot easier
for us to finish our business, collect the money, and disappear.
They're anxious to hear her version
but I'm gonna make sure they don't get it.
Take a few days off? What for?
Well, it's going to take a couple of days
just to get this place back in working order, right, Carl?
Yeah. And with this new animal getting sick this soon after arriving...
What?
One of the zebras is showing the same symptoms of that virus.
It was fine when I examined them yesterday.
I want to examine that zebra myself right now.
Claudia.
Now, believe me, I hate to do this,
but as your supervisor, you leave me no choice. I...
I'm gonna have to suspend you from your duties.
Now, I don't want to see or hear from you until after these hearings.
But, Doctor, I don't understand... I'm sorry,
but you've become an embarrassment for this institution.
Now, I'll help you in any way I can at the hearings,
but it doesn't look too hopeful.
All right, let's perform the autopsy on that zebra as quickly as possible.
That injection I gave it should've killed it by now.
What about that keeper Bradburn?
No sign of him. The creature must've scared him off.
(CHlMPS SCREECHlNG)
Claudia, what are you doing?
Leaving.
When you're on the verge of isolating
the anti-aggression compound?
On the verge of never working again.
Dr. Malone suspended me. Why?
Oh, what difference does it make?
Look at this place.
When that creature tore through here,
it destroyed six months' worth of research.
What happened to him?
I don't know.
He was in a coma. He's stuporous now.
He's got some abrasions, no concussion.
It doesn't seem to be from the creature's attack.
I'm having him moved to the infirmary later on.
Did you take blood samples?
Of course I did.
Did you check for AGD-4?
Now, why would I do that?
Look.
Half-empty.
Who would use it? I don't know.
I don't know who did it,
but I think he used it on Elliot.
Elliot?
We're never going to know
without blood tests.
(BlRDS CHlRPlNG)
Somebody did inject Elliot with AGD-4.
Why?
(PHONE BUZZlNG)
Yes?
RlTA: There's a reporter to see you, Dr. Baxter.
A Mr. McGee.
Rita, tell him I'm busy. I can't be disturbed.
Oh, I'm sorry, Dr. Baxter. He got by me.
He's on his way down the hall.
David, could you get rid of him for me?
Claudia... I'm sorry. I just can't handle these things.
I fall apart.
Please?
Claudia,
you can't keep running from people your entire life.
I know. Then handle it.
You've got to start sometime.
Right.
I'm sorry, this area is restricted to authorized personnel.
Well, I just wanted 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 ought to make the time.
I understand the one thing you don't need
is a little more bad publicity.
Mr. McGee, the main...
See, I just hope that you're not going to regard this thing
as another species to be studied.
It's killed two people, you know.
(ELLlOT GROWLlNG)
It is there.
(ELLlOT GRUNTlNG)
Are you satisfied?
Or would you like to examine Elliot a little closer?
McGEE: Elliot?
Dr. Baxter,
it's worth reminding you that the power of the press
can be used to your advantage or to your disadvantage.
You give that a little thought tonight.
I'll be back to see you tomorrow.
Rita, make sure Mr. McGee finds his way out.
RlTA: Yes, Doctor, and I was just leaving for the night.
I would like to walk out to the parking lot with him.
That creature may still be around.
I'm not sure Mr. McGee is any less dangerous.
Good night, Rita.
You...
You handled him a lot better than I would have.
Thanks.
Why would someone inject Elliot with AGD-4?
To kill me?
Or at least scare me.
What?
Carl
Iocked me in the cage with Elliot.
How did you get out?
I don't know.
The creature, I guess.
I was thrown against the wall by Elliot
and I was knocked unconscious.
Why would Carl want to 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 is this all about?
I think it has something to do with the chimp.
And maybe with the lion cub and the orangutan that died?
Possibly.
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?
I mean, there was nothing unique about them?
No, they were typical South African species.
They were all typical South...
South African species?
Right.
What?
I don't know.
Do you have a paper, today's paper, by any chance?
(EXHALlNG)
Of a sort.
DAVlD: I thought I saw a headline the other day.
What?
"Johannesburg police are still baffled by last month's 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, in the animals.
Possibly.
Should we call the police?
CARL: No.
That won't be necessary.
(CRlCKETS CHlRPlNG)
$750,000, as I promised.
Balance?
After your final delivery.
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, l...
I don't want to 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.
Carl, this has already gone too far.
Get the ropes and tie them up.
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!
Hurry up, Malone. Tie him.
And remember what I told you before, Bradburn.
You get out of line and she's dead.
CARL: Tie her hands, too, Malone.
And give him a shot of this.
What for?
If 20 cc put that gorilla into a coma,
almost half a bottle's gonna do wonders 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.
You're gonna make a house call on Androcles.
I'll be right back, Malone. Get it done.
Help!
(CLAUDlA PANTlNG) CARL: You can shout all you want.
I sent the security to the other side of the park
to look for that creature.
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 will be murder.
Malone!
Malone, think about what you're doing!
You know what that lion will do to Claudia.
It will tear her apart!
Now, you can't let that happen!

For God's sake, don't do it!
