All language subtitles for Fantastic Four 2005 1080p BluRay CEE AVC DTS-HD MA 5.1

Typical of Victor Von Doom to
build a 30-foot statue of himself.

Well, it's obviously aimed
at first-time visitors

to create feelings
of smallness, inadequacy.

Good thing it ain't working.

Reed, what are we doing here?
This guy's fast-food, strip-mall science.

This wasn't our first stop,
in case you forgot.

Besides, Victor's not that bad.
He's just a little larger than life.

My research suggests that exposure
to a high-energy cosmic storm

borne on solar winds might have triggered
the evolution of early planetary life.

In six weeks, another cloud
with the same elemental profile

will pass Earth's orbit.

A study conducted in space could
fundamentally advance our knowledge

about the structure of the human genome,
cure countless diseases,

extend human life, give kids a chance
to live longer, stronger, healthier...

Turn it off, please.

I don't think I have explained
my proposal fully.

No, I think you have.

Same old Reed, always stretching,
reaching for the stars

with the weight of the world on his back.

But dreams don't pay the bills, do they?

You remember, when we were in school
we talked about working together.

Well, that's what I was about to explain.

The storm is deadly.

But the shields on
your station's control room

are designed to protect
any occupants inside.

So, it's not just my money you want.

It's my toys.

Tell me, if NASA doesn't trust you,
then why should I?

That's my job, to stay a step ahead.

To know what other men don't.

I can't take this.

Ben, this is business, just work.

He's right, Ben. It is just business.

I think you both know my Director
of Genetic Research, Susan Storm.

One more thing he's got.

- Hey, Susie.
- Hey.

It's so nice to see you. How's Debbie?

- Great.
- Great.

- How have you been?
- Never better.

This isn't going to be a problem, is it?

- No.
- Not at all.

Good.

Then you're just in time
to hear the great Reed Richards

ask me for help.

You know, you made a lot of folks at MIT
feel like a junior high science fair.

So you'll excuse me
if I savor the moment.

You back this mission and I'll sign over
a fair percentage of any application...

The number's 75%.

And its applications and patents.

- What about his first born?
- Ben...

Come on.

25% of a billion is enough
to keep the lights on for a while, isn't it?

Maybe even pay off your fourth mortgage
on the Baxter Building.

Deal?

Well, then. To our future.

Together!

It's funny how things turn out, isn't it?

Hilarious.

He knew about NASA.
Maybe he made the call to shut us down.

Ben, think about all the people
we can help if this works.

Look, we got what we wanted.
That's enough.

A few days in space, it'll be great.
What's the worst that can happen?

If Reed's right, this little trip
could double our stock offerings.

- And if he's not...
- Reed's always right.

Good thing he doesn't always know
what he's got.

Reed, you should know those solar winds
have been picking up speed.

I factored them into my coordinates.

Right, of course you did. In theory.

It's a little different once you're out there.

- I assure you I...
- When are we leaving?

I'll be scheduling the launch,

so you can call me in the morning
for resources and crew.

- I think I remember the number.
- It's been changed.

As far as crew, I was hoping
Ben could pilot the mission.

We already have a pilot on our payroll
but you're welcome to ride shotgun.

Remember my brother, Johnny?

Can't do it. Cannot do it.

External SRBs, orbital system engines,
it's just like the shuttle you flew.

No! I cannot take orders
from the underwear model.

- Come on now, Ben.
- That wingnut washed out of NASA

for sneaking two Victoria's Secret
wannabes into a flight simulator.

Youthful high spirits.

They crashed it into a wall.
A flight simulator.

When have I ever asked you
to do something

you absolutely said you could not do?

Five times.

- I had it at four.
- Well, this makes five.

Attention, all personnel.

Commencing launch sequence
in six hours.

I miss you already, Debs.

Captain on the bridge!

Digital camera: $254. Memory stick: $59.

The look on your hard-ass
former CO's face

when he finds out he's your junior officer:

Priceless.

Thank you. That's so sweet.

I can handle the ship.

I can even handle Mr. Blond Ambition.

But I don't know whether I should be
flying or doing Swan Lake in these suits.

- I mean, who the hell came up with these?
- Victor did.

The synthetics act as a second skin,
adapting to your body's individual needs.

See, now that means
it keeps the hot stuff hot

and it keeps the cool stuff cool.

Wow. Fantastic.

Material made from self-regulating
unstable molecules.

I've been working on a formula for this.

Great minds think alike.

- Here you go, Ben.
- Thanks, sweetie.

Reed.

ETA until cosmic event: nine hours.

If you're good, maybe next time
Daddy'll let you drive.

You keep talking
and there won't be a next time.

Long way from the projection booth
at the Hayden Planetarium, isn't it?

Yes. Yes, it is.

We can monitor the cloud's approach
and observe the tests from here.

Is it safe?

The shields on the station
should protect us.

Should?

What's the matter, Ben?
Getting paranoid in your old age?

Let's start loading those samples.
Get your suit ready, Ben.

So I see you're still doing
all the heavy lifting.

Maybe you should have stayed in the lab.
Field work never suited you.

He does the talking, I do the walking.
Got it?

So take a walk, Ben.

Actually, if you'll all excuse me,
I need to borrow Susan for a moment.

Sure.

Please tell me your guy's not trying
to rekindle things with my sister again.

Of course not. It's strictly business.

Yes, well, his eyes say differently,
don't they?

Two hearts got busted last time.
Maybe she's not over it, either.

Wow, Dr. Phil, that's deep.
Let's think about that.

You got Victor, more money than God,
stud of the year.

And you got Reed, world's dumbest smart
guy, worth less than a postage stamp.

That's a real toss-up.

Don't trouble your tiny little mind.

Don't wander off now, boy.

Securing airlock chamber.

Surprised I agreed to Reed's proposal?

I understand the business reasons.

Well, when you're looking at your future

it doesn't hurt
to find closure about the past.

Susan, every man dreams he'll meet
a woman he can give the world to.

In my case, it's not just a metaphor.

Opening viewing station shield.

That can't be right.

Event threshold
in T-minus 9 minutes, 47 seconds.

That's impossible.
It should be seven hours.

We've been together two years now.

It's been a good two years, Victor.
The company's accomplished so much.

Right, of course, the company.

But, you see, I've come to realize that
all the accomplishments in the world

mean nothing without someone
to share them with.

I've lived my life
unafraid of taking big steps.

Now it's time to take the biggest step
of all.

- Victor.
- If it helps, think of this as a promotion.

- Victor, I...
- I have four words.

Four little words that can change
our lives forever.

The cloud is accelerating.

We've got minutes until it hits, not hours.

Victor, that storm is deadly.
We need to abort.

Get a grip, Reed. We didn't come all this
way to lose our nerve at the first glitch.

Just close the shields.

- Ben is still out there.
- So reel him in.

But we came here to do a job,
so let's do it quickly.

Victor, Reed's right.
We have less than six minutes!

- Ben, you need to get inside now.
- What's going on?

I ain't done
arranging your flowers yet, egghead.

Ben, turn around!

Guys, I'm not gonna make it.

Ben, you gotta jump. It's the only way!

- What are you doing?
- Closing the shields.

- You can't just leave them out there.
- Watch me.

- You can't help them any more than I can.
- I can try.

Come on, Ben, you got it!

Okay, Johnny,
get ready to close the portal.

Wake up. Ben.

Rise and shine, big boy. How you feeling?

Where am I?

Back on Earth. We're in quarantine.
Victor's medical facility.

Reed? Sue?

They're fine. Everybody else is fine.

What's wrong with me?

I swear to you, Ben. They've done
everything humanly possible.

The best plastic surgeons
in the world are here, Ben.

You had the best.

- Give me that mirror.
- I don't know if that's a good idea.

- They said the shock alone...
- I said give me that goddamn mirror!

Okay, Ben, just be strong.

Unfortunately, the doctors
just couldn't do anything to fix your face.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Nice do. I'm liking the grandpa look.

What?

- How's she doing?
- Stable and her vitals are strong.

Blood panels show no irradiation. Good.

- You'll step up this protocol every...
- Every four hours, yes.

We know what we're doing.

Another day of observation
and you're all clear.

Excuse me.
More flowers from Mr. Von Doom.

She's allergic to orchids.

Put the sunflowers by her bed,
they're her favorites.

Well, Victor,

the bank would like to congratulate you

on the fastest freefall
since the Depression.

We can't even give your stock away.

Ned, you know I can turn this around.

Well, you're going to have to, Victor,
or we pull out.

You have a week.

You're enjoying this, aren't you, Ned?

One week.

Where do we think we're going?

I don't know if we've noticed

but the sickest runs this side of the Alps
are right outside that window.

Yeah, I've noticed,
but there are rules here.

- You can't leave until we...
- Until we've finish the tests.

I know, I've never been good with rules.
You let me know how those come out.

- Do you wanna help me with this zipper?
- You know, this is not a ski resort.

Not yet. Luckily, Grandma still sends
care packages, though.

You know, it's amazing, for an 80-year-old
woman, you'd be surprised...

- You are trouble.
- Trouble is my middle name.

You're hot!

Why, thank you. So are you.
And I'm not afraid to cry.

No, I mean, you feel a little feverish.

Well, I've never felt better in my life.
My God, you smell good.

Listen, when do you get off work?

-4:00, but I...
- Tell you what.

You meet me at 4:01
at the top of the mountain.

That'll give you a minute to freshen up.
This is yours, that's mine.

Nurses!

How long was I out?

Three days. Man, I was worried about you.

- How are you feeling?
- Solid.

- That was a close one, though, huh?
- Yeah.

- What was that about?
- I don't know.

I really don't know.

I've been going over the figures
again and again and they all add up.

I just don't understand.
Maybe I should have aborted...

Reed, it was a freak of nature.
You couldn't have possibly predicted it.

Let it go.

You know, you live through
something like this,

it really makes you appreciate
having the right woman in your life.

- Yeah, you and Debbie are perfect.
- I'm not talking about Debbie.

What? Come on.

She's got a good thing with Victor.

He's smart, he's powerful,
he's successful...

Well, maybe you should date him then.

Ben, she ended up with the right guy.

Things worked out for the best.

Do I have to do everything myself?

All right.
I think you should stay to the right.

The left might give you trouble.

- I think we should drop, like, 10 more feet.
- Good.

Last one down springs for room service!

That's my future wife.

You're losing!

All right, no more kid's stuff.

Check this out.

You're on fire.

Thanks! You're pretty good, too.

No, you're on fire. Look!

Care to join me?

I can only stay for one drink
'cause I have to meet Victor.

Well, wouldn't want to keep Vic waiting.

Reed, what are you doing here?

I thought...

Great! Maybe you can join us.

How's the IPO now?

It's falling. We're looking at low 20s.

It's a good number
considering the fallout from...

From Reed's disaster?

Get me on the a.m. shows,
Larry King, the cover of the Journal.

I have to do something about this scar.

Make sure they only shoot me
from my left side.

Actually, the scar's tracking well.

People seem to think it humanizes you.

And that's a good thing?

You know,
maybe you should get some rest.

Later.

First, I have some unfinished business.

A deal that needs closing.

Sir, I have always wondered, why Sue?

You could have any other woman
in the world.

That's why.
Because I could have any other woman.

- No, let me tell the story.
- No, let him tell the story.

- You all right?
- Yeah, bad shrimp.

I think I better go lie down.

Excuse me.

Oh, God!

So, you feeling better?

Yes, thank you.

Good.

That's...good.

You always had a way with words.

Wow. I should be going because

I have to meet Victor.

I'm really happy for you and Victor.

You're really happy for me and Victor?

I can tell you guys are enjoying
what was the best part of our relationship.

- Which was?
- Passion

for science.

You're such a dork, Reed.

You never got it,

-and you never will...
- Well, what did I say?

...Unless it's explained to you
in quantum physics.

I just wanted to let you know that I...

It's been two years
and all you can say is that you're happy

for me and some other guy?

Victor may be a lot of things.

But at least he's not afraid
to fight for what he wants.

It's nice to be wanted sometimes, Reed.

To be seen and heard.

Look at me.

I can't.

What do you mean, you can't?
Look at me!

Sue, look at your hands!

Hey, you GUYS

You are never gonna believe
what just happened to me.

What?

Well, I can explain this.

It has to be the cloud.
It's fundamentally altered our DNA.

Let's not jump to conclusions

We need a massive amount of evidence
before making that leap.

Guys, look!

Now, picture that, but everywhere.

It was everywhere.

What?

The cloud has fundamentally altered
our DNA.

- Cool!
- We need to find Ben.

And you know what, guys?
I think I was flying.

I said, cut it out, Johnny.

- I'm getting the hang of it.
- Johnny.

- Ben, it's Reed.
- Stop.

- All right.
- All right?

- Yes.
- God!

- God?
- What's wrong with you?

- What?
- Sue, do you know the code?

I might.

Ben, open up.

You all right, Ben?

Does somebody have keys to these doors?

Anybody?

Just break the glass. It can't be that thick.

Give me another couple of seconds, guys.
I almost got it.

That's gross.

Ben?

Look, look, look, look, look.

What is that thing?

What's going on?

What happened in here?

Victor, are you feeling all right?

I'm fine. Just a few scrapes, that's all.

Ben did this.

He's had some kind of reaction
to exposure from the cloud.

We all have different symptoms.

Symptoms?

- Victor, I should have...
- Just find him.

Anybody got any ideas
where the big guy's going?

He's going home.

You gotta be kidding me.

Little buttons.

Hello, Operator?

- Hello?
- Debs?

- It's me.
- Ben?

Are you all right?
You sound a little different.

- Listen, I need you to come out front.
- Out front?

You're home, baby?

Yeah.

I got a surprise for you.

Yeah, I got a little one for you, too.

Ben?

Where are you?

I'm over here.

Don't come any closer for a sec, okay?

It's gonna be a bit of a shock.

Honey, what's going on?

Debs,

remember when we used to say,

"Together forever no matter what?"

Yeah.

Well...

Baby, you're scaring me.

Oh, my God.

Deb, it's me. It's still me.

It was the accident. Let me explain.

- No! Don't touch me!
- Debs!

Hey, I'm calling the police.

Everybody all right?

I saw him. It's that guy over there!

Okay, so he was there last night.

Debbie's gonna meet us
on the other side of the bridge.

Yeah, Ben.

"A few days in space. It'll be great.

"What's the worst that could happen?"

Hey, little guy.

You're not afraid of me, are you?

Perfect.

Thanks.

Hey!

You think you've got problems?
You take a good look, pal.

How bad could it be, right?

I don't think you...

Okay, pal. Take it easy.
No, don't go out there.

Look, I said stop, you fruitcake!

No. Come close.

That's further. Come closer.

I said, stop! No!

Come here.

All right, calm down.

You wanna be scared?

- Fine!
- No!

Get back, everybody! Get back!

Get back in your vehicle.
We'll tell you when you can go.

- What do we do now?
- We're not going to get past these guys.

But you could.

Sorry about the truck, pal. Come on.

A little help, here?
You wanna hit the button, sir?

It's stuck.

Sue, your clothes. Lose them.

Right.

This is so wrong.

- Wow, you've been working out.
- Shut up!

All right.

All right, freeze!

Now just...

Just put the man in the seat down.

Do it!

Any more great ideas?

Why don't you strip down
and have a 100 people stare at you?

- Sue.
- What?

I'm gonna need therapy.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Excuse me. Coming through.

All right, now just back away from him.

And I want you to put your hands
on your head...

954 approaching scene.

I still can't believe you made me do that.

We got through, didn't we? Just find Ben.

Ben! Ben!

Mom! Mom!

Stay here, okay?

I'm coming.

Hold on.

Hang on!

I got you.

Get down on the ground.

Get down on the ground now!

Ben.

I swear to you

I will do everything in my power

until there is not a breath left in me.

You're going to be Ben again.

I told you I felt fine.

Where are your ears?

There are some folks outside
that want to talk to you.

We're not going public with this.

We're scientists, not celebrities.

It's too late, son.

Look.

When a New York Fire Department
ladder truck...

See that?

...Became part of the tragedy.

But the rescue itself is not the story.

One of the four stretched
to an amazing length...

That's what they're calling you.
"The Fantastic Four."

- Cool.
- No, wait! Where are you going?

I'm gonna go talk to them.

No, we should think this through.

That's great. Brainstorm.

Get back here, right now. Johnny!

Settle down.

Do you believe this?

Which one of you is the leader?

That would be me.

No, seriously.

Okay, son. You're on.

During our recent mission
to the Von Doom space station,

we were exposed to
as yet unidentified radioactive energy.

- What happened on the bridge?
- How can you stretch?

- Were you really on fire?
- Is it true you can fly?

Yeah, I'm working on it.
It's actually really difficult.

No, actually, we do not know
much more than you do at this point.

Sir, Larry King just canceled.

Apparently, there's a bigger story.

Actually, here they come now.
You had to see it to believe it, folks.

- The man...
-...named The Fantastic Four...

We'll be going directly to our lab
to diagnose our symptoms.

Symptoms? Is this some kind of disease?

No. It's not a disease.

If having special powers is a disease,
then, yeah, we got it bad.

Excuse me,
that thing doesn't look so fantastic.

Ben Grimm is a genuine American hero.

What he means is,
every team needs a mascot.

A new day is dawning.
The day of the Fantastic Four.

Look!

We went up to space
to find a way to understand DNA,

cure disease, save lives.

Well, now it's our DNA, our disease,
our lives on the line.

Thank you. No more questions.

This is how you turn things around?

These freaks on the front page?
Your companies in the obituaries?

I was planning to use the publicity.

The board's in agreement,
the bank's lost enough already.

- Wait a minute.
- It's too late, Victor.

Do you know how much money
I've invested in this company?

Victor, stop.

This isn't a negotiation. It's a notification.

We're pulling out.

Is all that for you, Dr. Richards?

I'm afraid so.

Come on, Ben, smile.
They want to like you, Ben. Say hi.

Don't do drugs.

Welcome back to the Baxter, Dr. Richards.

I have got the usual for you.

Good to have you back, sir.

Thanks, Willie.

We had a tough year.

Yeah, like nine straight.

Either we're moving really fast
or not at all.

I'll take the stairs.

How come Ben can't turn it on and off
like we can?

That's what we're here to find out.

I mean, if it happened to him...

What? You mean, like, we won't be able
to turn it off, either?

That would save time.

You don't really wanna walk around on fire
for the rest of your life, do you?

- Is that a trick question?
- Grow up.

Come on.
Am I the only guy who thinks this is cool?

We should stay here until we can define
the extent of our changes

and figure out how to reverse them.

But I have to warn you, it's gonna be
a little crowded in some areas.

So, what do you think?

I don't know, Reed, I think you might be
bringing your work home with you.

Come on. Let me show you guys
where you'll be staying.

Busy guy-

Mr. Von Doom, would you like to comment
on the recent failure of your IPO?

What about the rumors of a takeover?

God, I was so worried about you.

Victor. I'm sorry
I didn't get a chance to call.

Please.

No apologies.

I've arranged for your things to be moved
to one of my condos.

You'll have round-the-clock care.

Thank you. That's very generous of you.

But I think I should stay here
with my brother

until we get a handle on things.

Susan, I think you should let my doctors
have a look at you.

Victor, what are you doing here?

I'm starting to wonder the same thing.

How much do you know
about what happened to you?

Not much.

We need to run tests
to see the extent of the damage.

Well, you let me know what I can do.
We're all in this together now.

Victor, wait.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry
the mission didn't go as planned.

Didn't go as planned?
It was a catastrophe.

You ruined the lives of four people.

With all due respect, we're both to blame.
I told you to abort.

Abort?

I put my company, my name,
billions of dollars on the line.

I will not let you make me look like a fool.

Victor, if we can understand...

I don't wanna understand it!
This isn't one of your science projects!

I just wanna fix it. Fast!

Is there a problem?

No.

No problem, Ben.

Just pay your damn electric bill
and get to work on finding a cure.

He's heating up from his core.

And his vitals are completely normal.

If we're going to identify
the source of the mutation,

we need to isolate
your recombinant DNAs

so we can activate positional genomes.

We have to do a physical
in order to see what got zapped.

Why didn't you just say so?

His internal organs are completely solid.

How bad is it?

You know, I used to smoke.

It's not invisibility per se.

You should be able to bend light
around other objects, even people,

if you could control
your emotional state better.

Excuse me?

I'm saying, if you had a little more
self-control, you could locate the trigger.

Can you remember your exact emotions
on the bridge?

Anger.

Rage.

Frustration.

Okay. ls there any way
to duplicate that feeling?

Some memory or...

I'm sure I can come up with something.

- You feel anything?
- Nope.

Okay.

It's hotter than I anticipated.

- Okay, Johnny, back it down.
- I can go hotter!

Johnny, just back it down.

- Johnny, back it down right now!
- Johnny!

Buzz kill!
You guys are cramping my style.

Johnny, you were at 4,000 Kelvin.

Any hotter
and you're approaching supernova.

- Sweet!
- No, not sweet!

That's the temperature of the sun.

Not only could you kill yourself

but you could set fire
to Earth's atmosphere

and destroy all human life as we know it.

Got it. Supernova: bad.

How's that coming?

- I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
- Yeah, fine.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

I...

You probably thought
that was some form of latent hostility.

What in the world
would give me that idea?

I mean, you broke up with me, right?

- Are you kidding?
- No.

I distinctly remember,
you walked out my door, ergo...

I was ready for the next step, you weren't
Ergo, I walked.

I think it was little bit more
complicated than that.

I just wanted to share an apartment.
What was so complicated about that?

- There were a lot of variables to consider.
- No, there weren't.

There was you and me.
There were no variables, no math.

It was actually
the simplest thing in the world.

But like always, Reed,
your head got in the way.

- No, it didn't.
- Then what was it?

Did you feel anything when I left?

Do you feel anything right now?

Hey, guys.

I think we have a serious problem.

So what's the prognosis?

Your tissue, your organs, your entire
biophysical structure is changing.

Every system is still functioning somehow.

And it's changing into?

I don't really know.

Some kind of organic-metallic alloy,

stronger than titanium or carbon steel,
harder than diamonds.

Like the shields
Reed said would protect us.

How long?

At this rate, the infection could be
complete in two, maybe three weeks.

What do you mean complete?

I wish I could tell you.

I can't pretend to know
what we're dealing with here.

I'll have to notify the CDC.

- What?
- Center for Disease Control.

I know what it is.

If this thing is contagious, we may have
a big problem on our hands.

We're talking about an epidemic here.

Look at me.

I have a life.

I'm the face of a billion-dollar company.

We need to keep this confidential.

Victor, this disease is progressive,
degenerative. I have to notify someone...

That's terrible news.

But I think I'll get a second opinion.

Our uniforms were exposed
to the storm, like us.

So they can transform like us.

Becoming invisible, changing size on
demand or remaining impervious to flame.

You guys look like an '80s rock band.

You know, Ben, this material stretches.

I'm sure I can figure out a way
to make it fit.

I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that.

I love these costumes. They're missing
something, though. Needs, like, spice.

They're not costumes.

You can't use your powers in public,
Johnny.

- You guys are worse than NASA.
- You could burn somebody.

Maybe it's missing a utility belt.

Here you go, there's your change.

Can I help you, buddy?

- Oh, my.
- It's Sue Storm, it's the Invisible Woman!

Sue Storm, it is you.
Listen, my kid loves you!

I can't believe I'm doing this again.

Reed, we really can't go outside any more.

We are on the cover of
every publication from...

All right, I'm here, let's make this quick.
I got a lot of places to go today.

Oh, wait. I don't go anywhere.

Johnny, it's imperative that we stay inside
for the foreseeable future.

I know, I know, but when you said that
last time, my brain heard "a week."

Johnny, it's too dangerous
for you to be in public.

You've been saying that for years.

What worries me is
that our powers are evolving.

I know! I know!

I am so close to flying, guys, I can taste it.

- You can't fly.
- Yet.

Johnny, can you put that napkin out?

Jesus.

So what's going on, Reed?
How're you going to cure us?

I'm going to build a machine
to recreate the storm.

The cosmic rays will travel
from this generator to this chamber.

What, no pop-UPS?

- If I can reverse the wave signal...
- It'll return us back to normal.

Right. But what are the risks?

Even a small miscalculation could increase
our symptoms exponentially

or perhaps even kill us.

Now, dying. That's bad, right?

I say we just let sleeping dogs lie, guys.

So how long
till this contraption's up and running?

- I don't know, it's hard to say.
- How long, Reed?

- I don't know.
- You don't know?

- Ben, you don't want this to get worse.
- Worse than that?

Guys, look, we're gonna be stuck here
for a while, so let's just try and get along.

Okay?

- You could knock!
- Sorry!

Johnny!

More bad news for Von Doom Industries
today as Ned Cecil announced

that his group of investors
would seek to gain control

of Victor Von Doom's numerous
technology companies.

Earlier, the IPO was pulled
from the market

after the steady decline
of its projected opening price.

Von Doom Industries was never able
to overcome the negative publicity...

Interesting.

Hello?

Victor?

What's with these lights, huh?

About the IPO, no hard feelings, right?

Nothing personal.

You know, you could always move back
to Latveria.

Start fresh.

Maybe that's where you belong,
the old country.

Nothing personal, Ned.

But I'm not going anywhere.

...Assassinated the competition
everywhere this season.

Truly unbelievable.
The crowd is going nuts here at the arena.

I tell you, if there's anybody out there
who can do what these guys do,

we dare you to come on down here.
Look at this spread-eagle,

no arm, back of the seat.
Motobike grab, landed. ..

I got to get out of here.

Hey, pretty boy, let's see what you got.

Where's your hot sister and the monster?

Let's go!

All right. All right.

I want you all to make a lot of noise
now for a very special guest.

Mr. Johnny Storm
from the Fantastic Four!

Look at that lift!

That was fantastic!

But, Johnny, come on. That's old school.

Show us something new.

Something new.

You got it.

Come on, Johnny, come on!

Is he flying?

Wait, no!

That's dangerous.

I'm okay, I'm all right, I'm good.

He's okay! He's all right!

Johnny Storm, ladies and gentlemen!

I have to give you props, Johnny!
You were on fire!

- He didn't.
- Oh, yes, he did.

- Flame Boy never listens.
- What did he do to his uniform?

Johnny, I've gotta ask you
about this outfit.

Yeah, it's sort of
Armani meets astronaut.

So what are your superhero names?

They call me the Human Torch.
Ladies call me Torch.

What about the rest of the team?

- That's the Invisible Girl.
- Girl?

What about your leader, Reed Richards?
I hear you call him Mr. Fantastic.

- Could've been worse.
- I guess.

Is it true what they say about him that
he can expand any part of his anatomy?

Well, I've always found him
to be a little limp.

What is that?
What do you call that thing?

That's it. The Thing.

Yeah, you think this is bad,
you should have seen him before.

Okay. Now I'm gonna go kill him.

There he is.

- Johnny!
- Can we talk about this later, guys?

- No. We can't talk about this later.
- We can do this at home.

- What are you thinking?
- Where's my ride?

We're totally exposed.

You think that's funny, Pebbles?

- Johnny!
- What?

You gave us names? You don't think.

So, now you're the face
of the Fantastic Four?

A face that's about to be broken!

Look, this isn't permanent, Johnny.

We need to be careful
until we're normal again.

What if I don't wanna be normal?
I didn't turn into a monster!

Ben!

Did you just...

Johnny, stop it.

- That's it, Tinkerbell!
- No, Ben.

You wanna fly? Then fly!

Wait a minute, guys! Ben, don't do this!

Let's see if we can get blood
from a stone.

Let's see. Bring it, burnout!

You two need a time-out!

Talk to blockhead, he started it.

I don't care. Damn it, Johnny.

Ben, wait!

What?

You need to control yourself
and think before you act.

Yeah, but see, that's your problem.
You always think, you never act.

What if we got these powers for a reason?
What if it's like some higher calling?

A higher calling?
Like getting girls and making money?

Is there any higher?

You know what, Reed?
This is who we are.

Accept it.

Or better yet, enjoy it.

Wait, Ben, slow down. He didn't mean it.

You know Johnny.
He's always been a hothead.

It ain't him. It's them!

I can't live like this.

Just give Reed a little more time.
You know how he works.

Analyzing every little step
before he takes one.

- It's easy for you to be patient.
- No, it's not!

I thought I was done waiting for Reed,
but I...

- We're all in this together, Ben.
- Together?

Susie, look at me.
You got no idea what I'd...

What I'd give to be invisible.

Thank you, gentlemen.

I'm just gonna pick up a few things

for some friends.

Perfect.

That's not funny.

This is Ben Grimm here.

The first mook from Brooklyn
to go into outer space.

So pay him some respect.

Just give me the usual and I'm out.

All right.

- Make it a double.
- Make it a triple.

- Put it on my tab, Ernie.
- All right, Alicia.

Appreciate it.

No problem.

It's okay, Ben.

If there's a God, he hates me.

She is not so into hate.

If you could see me,
you wouldn't be saying that.

Then let me see you.

Can I?

- Be careful.
- It's okay.

So sad.

You know,
being different isn't always a bad thing.

Trust me. This ain't one of them times.

Not if you don't want it to be.

- All right, Ernie, I'm out of here.
- I'll take you.

See you later, Benny.

I'm Alicia, by the way.

Thanks, Ernie.

Reed got what he wanted.

And everything he wanted

he took from me.

Now it's time to take it back.

But first,
I need to get rid of his bodyguard.

This seat taken?

What are you doing here?

I was worried about you.

You were worried about me?
That's sweet.

Come on.
Let me buy you something to eat.

Looks like you could use the company.

Reed?

- I was just resting my eyes.
- So I see.

The new readouts look very promising.

Not promising enough.

When are the next tests?

I've run out of plans.

So I was thinking maybe...

There's always me.

No. It's too soon.

- Reed?
- I should get back to work.

- You need a break.
- Sue, not now, please.

Come on. Let's go.

Remember our first date here?
God, I was nervous.

You know, I bribed the projectionist
10 bucks to keep the place open late.

Really? I gave him 20.

- No.
- Yeah.

- No way.
- Yeah.

I didn't want that night to end.

Sue.

You were right, it wasn't complicated.

I just wasn't ready to...

You always talked about how you liked
the kind of man who could approach you,

speak his mind.

One who wasn't afraid to tell you
exactly what he wanted.

I did.

But I wanted you to be that man.

Well, why didn't you say something?

Reed, I'm saying it now.

Excuse me.

I know it's not easy.

Life hasn't changed that much for Reed,
Sue, or Johnny.

At least they can still go out in public.
But for you...

If you're trying to cheer me up,
you're doing a hell of a job.

You know what I mean, Scarf ace?

I'm just saying I know what it's like
to lose something that you love,

to see it slip away
and know it's never coming back.

Look.

Reed is gonna fix me up, okay?

For your sake I hope you're right.

Look, he's a brilliant man.

We should all trust
that he's working as hard as he can.

You're his best friend.

So what possible reason could he have
for taking his time?

I mean, other than spending
more time with Sue.

- Wow, I had no idea.
- It's true.

Yeah.

I have that effect on people.

Ben.

So you remember my name now, do you?

Do you also remember
what you swore to do

with every breath in your body?

We're working as hard as we can.

Yeah. I can tell.

- Victor was right.
- Victor?

Ben, I don't know if this thing
will change us back or make us worse.

I need you to be patient
for a little while longer.

Reed, look at me!

I am looking.
That's why I can't make a mistake.

I've gotta get it right and it's not right yet!
We need to test...

I spent my whole life protecting you,
and for what?

So you can play Twister
with your girlfriend

while I'm the freak of the week?

Ben, stop it!

- You stay out of this, Susie!
- Stop it, or I will.

Get off me, rubber boy!

You guys, quit it.

Ben!

Calm down!

Good thing you're flexible enough
to watch your own back.

'Cause I ain't doing it no more.

You two are on your own.

Look what the marketing guys gave me.

Look, check it out, listen.
You're gonna love this.

It's clobbering time!

It's catchy, right?

Isn't that great?

That was the prototype.

Ben!

- Johnny, have you seen Ben?
- Yeah, Sunshine just left.

Look, Sue, I'm sorry.
I can't stand this freak show.

- I gotta get back to the real world.
- You're calling that the real world?

Sue, stop. You're not Mom.
Don't talk to me like I'm a little boy, okay?

Maybe I would
if you stopped acting like one.

Do you even hear yourself?
Who do you think you are?

Why is everyone on my ass?
If you guys are jealous, that's fine.

I didn't expect it
to come from you, though.

You really think those people out there
care about you?

You're just a fad to them, Johnny!

Let's try something new.
You live your life, I'll live mine.

Sound good?

And just for the record, they love me!

Oh, God. Reed.

Oh, my God, Reed. What did you do?

- I can make it work.
- No!

I need more power to control the storm.

More power?

- You need a doctor. Come with me.
- Sue.

- One more try...
- You need to rest.

Leonard, bring me our lab rat.

Ben. Come in.

What is this? Where's Reed?

Where do you think? With Sue.

I'll take it from here, Leonard.

Yes, sir.

What do you want, Vic?

To help you.

The machine is ready.

But Reed said it wouldn't...

He also said we'd avoid
that storm in space

but we all know how that turned out.

He couldn't generate enough power
for the machine to reach critical mass.

Yet another mistake for Mr. Fantastic.

- And you can?
- Yes.

Tell me,

do you want to be Ben Grimm again?

Thank you.

Vic?

Vic?

Vic?

Vic, it worked.

Vic?

Everyone thought I was safe
behind those shields.

Oh, my God.

The machine worked for me.
It can work for you, too!

It did, Ben. It worked perfectly.

- You planned this.
- I've always wanted power.

Now I have an unlimited supply.

And no Thing to stand in your way.

Take a good look, Ben.

This is what a man looks like
who embraces his destiny.

One down, three to go.

Vic?

Right on cue.

Ben?

- What did you do?
- Exactly what I said I would.

I built a better, stronger being.

And outsmarted the great Reed Richards.

If you've exposed yourself to the storm,
you're endangering your life.

- You need help.
- You always know best.

So tell me, what happens
when you superheat rubber?

No!

Mr. Von Doom, are you okay?

Never better, Jimmy.

Why the long face? Let's talk in my office.

Ben.

Sue!

Johnny, the machine worked!

Give me a hand. Come on.

Ben.

Get his arm.

You all right, Ben? Put him on the step.

What happened, big guy?
I leave you for five minutes...

The machine.

Vic used it on himself.
He was affected by the cloud like us.

- Where's Reed?
- Vic must have taken him.

Dr. Richards,
allow me to begin your lesson.

Chemistry 101.

What happens to rubber
when it's supercooled?

Give up?

That's not like you, Reed.

After all, we're both doctors.

Painful?

You don't know the meaning of the word.

Just a little something
from our defense contracts.

Let's check in on the rest of the family,
shall we?

We've got to get out of here.

Oh, no.

Wait a minute. I got an idea!

- Don't even think about it.
- Never do.

What are you doing? Johnny, no!

Come on, come on, come on, flame on!

We have to help Reed.

It's too dangerous for you now.
You have to stay here.

What did I do?

Come on, think!

Two down, two to go.

Sue.

- What has he done to you?
- How romantic.

Victor, please.

Call me Doom.

The machine works. It worked on Ben,
it can work on you. We can turn you back.

Do you really think fate turned us
into gods so we could refuse these gifts?

Victor, you always thought
you were a god. Now back off.

Susan, let's not fight.

No. Let's.

Susan, you're fired!

Marco.

Polo.

Did you say goodbye
to your brother Johnny?

It's time to end this!

No, Vic. It's clobbering time.

Damn, I've been waiting to do that.

Susie, you okay?

Victor ain't that bad, huh?

"He's just a little larger than life," right?

Maybe next time
you'll listen to me before...

Ben!

- Sorry, ladies.
- Stop the car!

Pull over. Hit the brakes!

This is the police.

Put your hands up
and step down from the vehicle!

Take him out!

Ladies, I'm gonna need
to borrow your car.

- The transmission sticks.
- Not gonna be a problem.

I can't let you do that!

Reed?

I'll be right with you.

Hello, Susan.

You three are pathetic.

You missed me.

Had a little relapse, huh?

- Welcome back.
- This is gonna be fun.

I can't hold it!

Johnny, supernova!

I thought we agreed that was bad.

Now!

- Ben!
- Gotcha.

Sue! Think you can contain it?

Flame on, kid.

Is that the best you can do?

Time for your lesson. Chem 101.

What happens
when you rapidly cool hot metal?

Ben!

You done good, kid.

Come on.

Sue, you okay?

Yeah.

Man, I love this job.

Job, huh?

Well, we do have the suits.

Ladies, your drinks.

- I don't think we need another.
- Just one more.

Thank you, thank you so much. Cheers!

I need names and shots.

Bartender!

They're custom-made, 36 EEEE.

Well, look. I've been crunching
the numbers on the machine.

And I think if I can rework
the power settings...

Forget about it, egghead. I'm good as is.

Better than good, baby.

You just need to work on your touch.

I like the sound of that.

- Can I talk to you for a second?
- Sure.

Thanks.

I found a broken gasket from space.

A gasket?

- Reed, come on, we're at a party.
- And if one of us were to wear it...

No more thinking.

No more variables.

Sue Storm,

will you marry me?

Sue, you kind of need to say something.

Yes.

That's my nose, genius. These are my lips.

She's kissing him.

That's so cute.

About time, you guys.

No more wisecracks about the way I look.

Call me Mr. Sensitivity.

Okay. Wide load coming through.
Everybody move, he's huge.

- Come here, Mr. Sensitive.
- Flame on.

Showoff!

How long will it be?

Should be about 12 days.
