186,282.

For those of you who wanted in here just for the credit, that is the speed of

light in miles per second. If you prefer kilometers per second, then you get

299,792

.458. Thank you, Reed.

You're welcome, sir.

Show off.

I didn't see you whipping that man.

Although traveling at or near the speed of light has always been theoretically

possible, it has long been considered physically impossible.

That is, until the discovery of Colossus, a

radioactive comet-like energy source traveling in ten-year orbits that

tonight will be closest to Earth that it will ever come.

So close, in fact, that it will pass through the heart of the

Van Allen Belt, slow to the speed of the Earth's rotation, and

become visible to the human eye.

So bring your telescopes, bring your imaginations, and above all...

That's it. Class dismissed.

You cannot keep adjusting the primary angle of that prison quadrant.

Of course I can.

I have to. Your calculations fail to consider it.

Not here.

Outside.

All I'm saying is if we don't take into consideration the possibility of a

velocity variance, the result could be failure. Victor, we worked on this for

four years, okay?

I don't want to blow it.

Neither do I.

So could we at least run a simulation?

It'll make me feel better.

All right.

We have time.

Take it easy.

It's not the end of the world.

Oh!

Johnny!

You've just got to go.

See ya.

Oh!

Oh!

Neither of you is going anywhere without a coat.

I won't have you catching cold just to watch Colossal. That's Colossus, Ma.

Oh!

In a hurry?

Actually, yes. I'll run away.

I just came back home to pick up some notes.

Aren't you coming with us, Reed?

No, Susan, listen, I'm sorry. I can't. I've got to get back to the lab.

You okay?

You're not going to miss it, are you?

You know what?

I might even see it if I get lucky.

Listen, I want you two kids to have a great time, will you?

Take good care of your mom. I've got to go.

It is incredible.

I never thought we could pull it off.

Got work to do.

One problem, Victor.

I've been reviewing your notes, and it still seems to me that your

calculations... Calculations are based on your figures.

I know.

But all I'm asking you to do is just factor in these revised estimates, will

you?

Please.

Get to your station.

What about the simulation?

No time.

Velocis is here.

Everything we've ever dreamed of, Reed.

It's here right now.

We're going to harness the energy of tomorrow.

That's the future, my friend.

Read. It's picking up speed.

It's not possible.

I'll get help.

You'll be all right.

The burns were too severe.

I'm very sorry.

Where are you taking him?

Downstairs.

To the morgue.

He's hiding us.

We must save him.

He's not already too late.

So, you want me to fly that hunk of junk, huh?

That hunk?

No junk, eh?

Thank you. That hunk of junk's better than anything you flew in the Air Force.

If you miss this chance, you'll never have another chance to fly anything like

it.

I guess you can get grant money to do anything these days.

Grant money?

Come on, Ben. It's state-of-the-art.

Better touch control.

With telepathic override.

Full voice-activated computerization.

All systems. Okay.

Okay, man.

I'm just flying the thing. I'm not flying it.

But you did promise me that if ever I built it, you would take it up.

Huh?

And besides, it's very important to me.

And you got yourself a pilot.

Now all we need is a crew.

Hi, Mrs. Storm.

Does Johnny and Susan go to outer space with us?

Well, I don't know, dear.

You'll have to ask them.

It's so good to see you, too.

Johnny! Susan!

Ben, this is crazy. What do they know about astrophysics?

Come on, they may not have Harvard diplomas, but they know more about this

project than anyone else on Earth.

Besides, if you don't let them come, they will never forgive you.

Hey, Finn, all right.

Hey,

Doc, ready to go?

Actually, Johnny, I don't think... We're ready.

Anyone for a ride in a rocket ship?

I'll drive.

Yes.

Yes, absolutely.

You've got a lot to do.

Don't let anything happen to my babies.

I'll see to it personally.

Look at you.

The fantastic four.

information you requested on the diner

There it is.

I can smell a diamond a hundred miles away.

And this one, well...

Hey.

It's show and tell time.

So, Reed, what's in this thing?

Reed, what's going on?

I got you.

Oh, jeez, I'm sorry.

Oh, all my work.

Here, let me help you.

Careful, what are you doing?

Put me down.

It's okay, it's okay, I got you.

You're safe with me.

I really am sorry.

I know.

I can sense it.

Don't worry about it. Accidents happen.

It was only a statue, right?

Oh, a statue.

first impression. She likes me, I can tell. Are you sure?

Yeah. Well, just keep telling yourself that, Ben. You know why, Ben? Why?

Because it is too embarrassing.

I know. Yeah, hurry up and wait ten years. Yeah, but she likes me. I can

tell.

Reed, get up!

She is

magnificent.

You, stay here.

Follow the treasure.

See which floor they get off.

I'll be with you later.

Where are you going?

You ask me nothing.

Do what you're told.

We make no sudden move.

It would displease his highness.

And we would not want to do that, would we?

No.

No, indeed.

Awesome. Is it real?

Voila.

Johnny, would you get me the tray?

Yes.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend, huh, Suze?

So what's it for, Vic? It's the answer to our problems. By placing the diamond

in the center of the cosmic refractor, the heat is diffused, broken into small

doses, which gives the prisms time to cool before receiving another blast.

Pretty neat, huh?

Victor and I shared a common dream.

What secrets?

What would Colossus tell the world if we could give it a chance to speak to us?

For ten years, I've carried the failure of that dream with me. I've carried...

Victor's death.

If we can pull this off, then maybe he will not have died in vain.

I'm with you, buddy.

Me too.

Anywhere you want to go, I'm there.

Well, then we'd better call it a day. We've got a lot of work ahead of us.

At night, I can't.

I must go.

But... I'll be back.

With the most precious gift I can give you.

We will be ready to move in one hour, Your Highness.

Do not fail me.

Is that understood?

Yes, your highness.

Good.

Very good.

It's cool.

I'll see you then.

Somebody in there.

We have an intruder.

Sure.

Well,

let us see what this bizarre little thief

has in mind.

The diary has been replaced with a man-made replica.

Perfect!

It seems our little friend has helped me more than I could have dreamed.

I don't need to stop this mission now.

Now no one will cut the Colossus before me.

And they can die in space.

3 minus 15 seconds.

Guidance is internal.

11, 10, 9.

Ignition sequence start.

Susan, enter the release sequence.

Got it.

You got anything, Johnny?

Right on time. Baron, 18 degrees west, 5 degrees north.

Oh, God, this is awesome.

Putting on the turn signal and turning right.

Hey, you guys, Colossus is closing awfully fast. I mean, this thing's

really motoring.

You don't have a lot of time, Susan.

I'm all set.

Engage.

the inner circle, Johnny. You activate the gravitational field.

Aye, aye, sir.

Ben, no matter what, you keep her steady.

That's exactly why you pay me the big buck.

Hang on.

Susan, activate the antenna.

Yeah. Right, cowboy.

Diamonds of faith.

Fats, get us out of here.

John Richard.

I must be in shock. I don't feel any pain.

Let me get you out of here.

I can't believe it. We're here, huh?

Look at you.

Look at us.

What? What? We're okay, Reed. We're okay, huh?

Exactly.

Not a scratch on us. And the ship is in a hundred pieces.

We're fine?

Come on, doesn't that bother anybody just a little?

Oh, well, okay, we're not all together fine. I got a bit of dirt in my nose.

Did I

do that?

with you guys. I'm right here.

Where? Come on now. This isn't funny. I'm right here.

Look.

What is wrong with you guys? It's like you've seen a ghost.

Look at your legs, Susan.

We must have dropped telemetry.

You mean we fell off the radar?

Oh, great.

It's going to be days before they find us, especially if they think we're dead.

I'm scared, Reed.

Just tell me what is happening to us.

I'm sorry, Susan. I can't.

I don't know.

But there's no need to panic.

Panic?

Panic? Reed, Reed, my sister here disappears at the drop of a hat. You

stretch like some human rubber band, and I'm a walking blowtorch, and you don't

want us to panic?

Oh, oh, well, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

Sit down, Johnny.

Johnny, there'll be an explanation for this. There's always a scientific

explanation for everything. Ain't that right, Ben?

What should we do, Reed?

What should we do?

First thing we're gonna do is get some rest. I think some of us need it.

Maybe we can think more clearly in the morning.

Johnny, you think you can keep that fire of yours going a little while longer?

We might need it, pal.

What do you mean alive?

How surveillance indicates, your highness.

He survived.

No.

Not possible.

Find them.

Before anyone else does.

Is that understood?

Find them.

Who is it?

Hi, Miss Masters. I got a package for you.

Come on in. It's open.

Oh.

Boy. Oh, sorry. Sorry.

Boy.

And this one's a biggie.

Oh, here, let me... Wow.

So these were used for the helmet things, right?

That's right.

I thought so.

Good luck on that memorial statue, by the way. Those people really... They

deserve the best.

Oh, good night. Yeah.

Right. Good night.

Good

night.

What is beauty, says my suffering soul?

You, my people, my beautiful, beautiful people,

we are such things as dreams are made on.

I have given you a home, have given you self-respect, and have asked nothing in

return until now.

I have recently acquired a most incredible gift.

A gift worthy of a queen.

That is what I ask of you, my people.

You can't be dead.

Dr. Reed Richards?

Yes?

We're here to escort you to debriefing.

I have a jet waiting about two clicks from here.

I'd just like to get out of here.

Get down!

Get down!

Hey,

what's going on?

No, he's with my crew!

Oh, wow.

Ben?

What?

What do you guys look

What

kind

of thing about turn it to

We're going to go get some help, Ben.

Look at me!

Ben,

we're all going to go get some help.

Good evening, Mr.

Grimm.

I'm Dr.

Hoffman. You have been placed in isolation until we can determine the

cause of your condition.

I'm going to need to take a blood sample, although I'm not quite sure how

we're going to do that.

Why don't you have a seat so we can maybe work this out together?

I've been making fires out of nothing, if that's what you mean.

Yes.

Big fires?

No, no. Little things like, um... Do you think you could explain this to me?

Maybe demonstrate how it works?

I don't know. I just concentrate on a part of my body, like, uh... You know,

like my hand, and I just flame on.

Ah! Ah!

Ah! Ah!

Flame off! Flame off! Flame off!

I guess we figured out the magic words, huh, Doc?

Miss Storm, you don't break things or float into flames or anything like that

now, do you?

No.

Good.

I... I, um... I sort of... Miss Storm?

Behind you.

Take your own blood.

Okay.

These people are medical miracles.

They hold the key to the greatest single breakthrough in scientific history.

Colossus lives in heaven.

Yes.

And if we could extract it from them, well, imagine the power we could

unleash, Your Highness.

And what if we took it all and put it into one man?

Into one man?

Well, it's all a conjecture, I suppose, but... Answer the question,

Doctor.

There's no telling how powerful that man would become.

Wonderfully interesting.

Thank you, Dr. Hauptmann.

A project of this magnitude must be undertaken at once.

They must be drained completely and absolutely.

Certain preparations must be made on our part.

And I must pay a visit to the jeweler.

I have a need for his dialogue now.

to be wandering around in at night.

You could get hurt.

What do you want here?

We are here to see the jeweler.

A bouquet of flowers would have been infinitely preferable.

Tell him we will make it worth his while.

Very worth his while.

I can't take it anymore.

Look, we've got to get out of here, huh?

I don't even know if they've called Mom to tell her that we're still alive.

I can't get a straight answer from anyone.

I mean, it's no phones, no television, no nothing, huh?

I mean, we're not patients here. We're prisoners.

What do you think, Ben?

I wonder if you'll read.

You heard Alvin.

We're contagious.

No wonder they don't want the outside world to have contact with us.

Maybe we should stay here a while longer until we find out what's wrong.

Why don't they let me into the lab?

Why all this mystery?

Why don't they let us help ourselves?

Exactly.

Look, I say we go for it, huh? I mean, what have we got to lose?

Johnny, come on.

We're either all in this together... or we don't move.

What do you want me to do?

The diamond is not for sale at any price.

You see, it has been promised to another.

The gem belongs to my beautiful queen, Alicia.

She does not seem to be very happy to have it.

Silence!

She will be when she realizes we are alike, outcasts in this world.

But that is none of your concern.

You have your answer. Now, leave.

We cannot do that.

If you will not sell us the diamond, we will have no choice but to take

it.

It

seems

the odds of your survival are pretty slim.

Tell your boss that the diamond is not for sale.

Period.

If you come back again, I won't be so merciful.

the Queen to my room.

I need to have a private consultation.

No. Stakes are too high.

I'll handle this personally.

Stay where you are.

I'll be there by nightfall tomorrow.

Time to take another blood sample.

Sleep's up.

What are you supposed to do with these guys?

Talk to them. You've got a captive audience. We'll be back in ten minutes.

Okay.

Jacks are better open.

fighting with me as a kid finally paid off, huh?

This might just give us the answers we're looking for.

What language is this?

I have no idea.

Somehow it looks familiar.

What do you got there, Danny?

Not sure, but...

Hopefully it's the way out of here.

Bingo! Good work, Danny. Let's hurry.

It's incredible.

Johnny, this looks like it incorporates some... some kind of atomic splitter.

It's brilliant.

Thank you.

Coming for you, Dr. Richard, that is quite a compliment.

Who are you?

My name is Duke.

Nice suit.

Where are we?

Beautiful, charming country.

Thy supreme and beloved monarch.

Come back and visit us sometime for a vacation.

Bring the kids.

That is when I'm finished with you.

You're finished with us now.

No, no, no, no, no!

I have not even started.

We're going home.

Rudy! you.

After all the trouble, I want you to feel at home.

And you're running off like naughty little children. I just had to allow

that. Yeah, well, who asked you, you overgrown tin can?

What? Can't I? Aren't we, Jonathan?

Take my bite.

Eat your food.

I'm in the giving vein today, Doctor.

Return to your rooms and wait like good little children.

Or... Or you will know pain far greater than your worst nightmare.

Sorry I'm late.

Miss anything?

We're going home.

Very painful.

I had hoped would not come to this.

Alive or dead, your value to me remains the same.

I will not sully my hands.

I will return when you have earned your lesson.

It's clobbering time.

Thank you very much.

as I can.

Not fast enough.

Reed?

Hmm?

I, um... Well, I just wanted to say that, um...

Well, whatever comes of this, I mean, even if we

don't recover, or if we get worse,

oh, I... Um,

something shouldn't go unsaid.

I'm always so shy around you.

What did you say?

Well... I... I just wanted to tell you... Susan, what did you just say

about being shy?

This is the problem that I have sometimes.

That's it.

Susan, that's it. You've got a problem with being shy, right? So?

You've vanished, yet?

Johnny, you've always had a quick temper. Now, come on, ever since I've

known you, right?

You could call it fiery, so what happens?

I catch fire.

Exactly. And me, I've always had this problem. I just stretch myself thin all

the time, trying to take care of everybody, trying to do everything at

once. Too many things.

Ben, you've always relied too much on brute strength when your intelligence

would have sufficed.

Don't you see?

Listen. We know one thing from the blood test.

And that's that our DNA has been altered.

But I think Colossus has touched her psyche.

I think it's made us feel that our worst character defects are in fact our

greatest strengths.

Holy Freud, Batman, I think you're right.

Except that the three of us go back to normal. Our changes are only temporary,

but... I mean, why has Ben like that all the time?

That I don't know.

Yeah.

And I don't care.

The bottom line is, you can all live normal lives.

I'm not a freak.

Isn't it right?

Fight!

There's nothing more to say.

I've gotta get out of here.

Don't stop me.

Do the dishes.

Hey, buddy, you can't be hanging around back here. I'm not looking

for trouble.

I'm not looking to give any, man. Look, you've got to move, all right? Get

walking. Look, all I want is just to play. I don't care what you want.

Magnificent.

Thank you.

I have one for you.

And here's yours. It's flame retardant.

What's with the suit?

We are the Fantastic Four, remember?

Now we're more like the Terrific Three.

He'll be back.

My friend, we offer you no harm.

They don't understand like we understand.

You look so tired.

You need a place to rest.

A place where you belong.

Come with me.

Take you home?

In other news, Alicia requesting any information that may help in solving the

kidnapping case of Alicia Masters from her West End studio.

Ms. Masters had been working on a memorial statue.

I have never felt like an outcast.

And I don't feel beautiful here.

I'm an outsider.

Please, let me go home.

Oh, you keep me tied up here for the rest of my life, but I will never learn

to be your queen.

Never!

What?

We have a new member of the family. So?

So? He's the most fascinating one I've ever seen. You will come to meet him.

Keep an eye on the queen.

She is not to leave this room until I take her.

I said watch, not smell.

Where is he?

Let me introduce you to Ben.

Oh, my.

The pain.

The pain you have endured, my beautiful brother.

No more.

I will take it all away.

You have found a home here.

A world where you can rise to the greatness you deserve.

You, give him anything he asks for.

Treat him well.

Rest, my weary traveler.

The life you always should have had begins right now.

Yes, yes, yes.

Mr. Roche, I'm going on a little day trip.

I expect the laser to be fully operational upon my return.

No questions, I trust.

Very good.

But how is it even possible that Doom knows about the diamond?

Or about gathering colossus, for that matter?

Reed, you're the only one alive that even knows the details of this

experiment.

He's got a point.

Nobody's ever thought of harnessing Colossus except for you.

Your friend Victor, of course.

Where's my death suit from the castle?

Closet.

Victor is alive.

Victor is alive.

I will ask you only once to stand aside.

Time's up.

You touch it and she dies.

So? I'm in it.

Please, don't let me stop you.

Let her go.

Ben Grimm.

Ben?

I'm dead.

Let her go.

Oh, yes.

By all means, let her go.

Ben?

Let her go.

Watch yourself, Mr. Grimm. I can do a lot of damage.

before you get hit.

Doom, it's clobbering time.

Ben, no!

Ah,

well, well.

It seems another boy is...

Not quite himself today.

Kill him.

Let him go.

We have what we want.

Oh, and a little insurance

as well.

Dr. Ritter, good to see me again.

This is the little device I've been playing.

I hope for your sake it's working well.

I have the diamond and the friends of Mr.

Grimm.

Oh, by the way, that laser you saw, it's finished now.

Allow me to demonstrate its purpose.

You have 12 hours to surrender yourself to me.

Or I'll wipe out New York City!

I'll get the suits.

You're not going anywhere without me.

Ben! All right.

Don't ask.

I'm back, and that's all that matters.

It's good to have you back, but I got news for you. Doom is your old friend,

Victor. What?

He's got a friend of yours with him.

Yeah? Tell me about it.

Now, hold on a minute. It was my quest to bury Victor's memory that got us

involved in this mess in the first place. He'll be waiting, and we know it.

There's no need for all of you to be involved.

No way.

I'm going.

I've got my reasons.

I have my reasons, too.

I love you, Reed.

I love you, too.

I gotta make sure nothing here happens to Seth.

Five. We are the Fantastic Four.

Right?

Hey, you guys, you guys.

Don't you think this is just a little too easy, huh?

Yeah. I love walking into a trap, don't you?

I don't know. I've never done it before.

Which way?

Main room, that way.

Expect trouble.

Maybe we got here early enough to buy ourselves some time. Now listen to me,

gang. Why don't you keep your eyes open? Johnny?

I'm gonna see if I can figure out a way to disarm this laser.

Pitiful.

You are pitiful.

Half the fun is the chase.

You've robbed me of even that.

Ah, well.

At least you've left me the pleasure of the kill.

That is, of course, after I've taken from you what I want.

Colossus.

names from the past.

You may call me Dr.

Doom.

Faithful love, ten years ago, made me what I am today.

I had such a unbearable hatred for you, Reed,

for turning me

Into this.

Look at it.

See it.

Does it amuse you?

When I heard you were to face Colossus again.

I knew you would be the fitting instrument of my revenge.

But just think.

In what is in each of you.

Is all in me.

Well, imagine that.

And a special treat for you, Mr. Grimm.

After I have cleansed you of your power, you may watch my men

kill the one who claims to love me.

Just before you die.

if you can't appreciate the irony.

At least I do.

this way at least you've saved new york for

now

It's blabbering time for real.

It's going to fire.

Stop it.

No, but I can't.

I've been wanting to blow up that destructory since I was a kid, huh?

I'm Alicia Masters.

Nice to meet you.

It's nice

to meet you.

It's not like you to run away from a challenge, Victor.

Yes, you're right, Reed.

Considering all that has happened here tonight, I'll take what I can get.

I'm going to enjoy killing you very much.

That's for trying to kill me.

That's for trying to kill my friend.

And this?

This is for being a real jerk.

friends once.

Remember.

Hang on, Victor.

You see, you have not the courage to strike the final blow, do you?

Just as ten years ago you failed in our moment of triumph, you betrayed me.

Colossus was to be ours together, and now it stands between us.

You still have a chance, Reed. Go on.

Save me.

Do not think for a moment I shall ever rest until I have what is rightfully

mine.

Here's to the future, my friend.

Let's go home.

Let's hope we have a home.

We'll try not to get into any trouble. Do get back.
