I'm looking for the aloe iodide.
It's not here.
Yeah, because that's not where it is.
Can you give me 12 seconds and I'll come and get it for you?
12 seconds is specific.
Wow, these are very expired.
No iodine.
Oh, right.
But... that's not... we tried for two years.
I know.
I know, babe.
We're not going to talk about it anymore.
Talking was not an important part.
It wasn't going to be for us and we were okay with that.
We were okay, but... well, this is better.
Yeah.
It's a lot better, isn't it?
This is great.
Obviously, we're going to need protocols to account for our cell mutations.
Read.
We can do this.
Okay?
I really want to do this.
And what?
Nothing is going to change.
Of course not.
I just want to know what the science is.
Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you to a very special
event celebrating four years of the Fantastic Four.
And now, your host for the evening, Tim Gilbert.
On our books.
Folks, we all know the story.
Four brave astronauts head up into space, encounter a
bit of cosmic turbulence, and come back forever changed.
Not just the molecules of their bodies but
also their bodies, and they can change forever.
Four years ago, man and woman conquered the last frontier as we know it.
The exploration of space.
The best pilot in the world, right here.
Best looking human beings.
It was my mission, space exploration.
I assembled the best scientific minds to come along, who also happened to be my
best friend, my wife, and my brother-in -law.
Comms check.
Everybody sound off.
Check.
Check, check.
Check.
Comms are alive.
The last voice you just heard is my baby brother, Jonathan Storm.
And ladies, he is very single.
Kiss for luck.
Kiss.
However, Dr. Richards' expedition encountered an unforeseen event.
Change.
Not only the lives of these courageous individuals.
Never mind.
Go for launch.
But also the course of our history.
Come here.
What is that?
I don't know.
It must be the cosmic wave.
Stay.
Obviously, while we were in space, due to errors on my
part, we encountered a cosmic storm that altered our DNA.
We came back with anomalies.
And they returned with superpowers.
They became our protectors.
It's clobbering time.
I
was at the opening of the Pan Am Tower when Ball Man attacked.
The Fantastic Four saved my life.
Ball Man's attempt to steal the Pan Am building was thwarted by the Fantastic Four.
It's all Reed Richards' fault.
Him and his endless pursuit of progress.
Power to the underground!
Now, when the bad finger tried to sabotage New
York City, the Fantastic Four came to our rescue.
Gotcha!
We're dead!
It defeated Red Ghost and his super-aids.
They
are our inspiration.
This equation not only confirms alternate dimensions, but it suggests parallel
Earths exist on different dimensional planes.
Who wants to see a big explosion?
And they became our leaders.
Sue Storm brokers peace deal with Harvey Mole Man
Elder, leader of the underground nation, Subterranea.
I don't trust surface dwellers.
I never have.
But I do trust Sue.
We have come together today to form a new charter.
The Future Foundation.
All participating countries agree to dismantle their armed forces.
And on this fourth anniversary, we celebrate.
They are the very best of us.
They are the Fantastic Four.
Thank you, Fantastic Four!
We still believe in you.
I love you, Johnny!
We love you!
Thank you!
Thank you, Fantastic Four!
We are proud to call them our guides, our protectors, and our friends.
Let's hear it for Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben!
I must say, that was all a bit of grandizing.
Herbie!
Herbie with the Herbs!
How's that sauce look?
Don't do that.
Wash your hands first.
It's on my gloves all the time.
Let me try that.
Okay!
Is this guy good?
That is fantastic!
It's incredible.
Stop.
Don't do that.
It's not quite done.
No, it's not quite done.
No, it could be done.
But I'm going to add a little more garlic.
Not because it's not delicious.
I just want to add a little bit of zip.
Okay?
What are you doing?
What do you mean, what am I doing?
I mean you're gonna ruin your appetite.
I'm hungry.
We're never late for Sunday dinner.
Should we wait?
Yes.
You're late.
What do you mean?
What do you mean, what do I mean?
You're late for dinner.
Oh, yes, we are.
Really?
By a single minute.
Yes, we were just...
I'll put some aloe-iodine on my shoulder.
I'll do it on your shoulder.
Why is there breakfast here?
And the dinner table?
Why, are you being weird?
No.
I'm not being weird at all.
I'm doing that weird thing with your face.
The only time I know what you're talking about.
Are you pregnant?
Yeah, I'm pregnant.
Yes, yes, yes.
How did you know that?
And have you looked at your husband's face?
I know.
He just cannot keep this secret.
What?
Really?
Yeah.
I just match him.
I doubt you will.
You are going to be the bad millions.
You are the best, Mom!
Oh my God, and you are gonna be the best, Dad.
Just kidding.
You are out of your depth.
But we, we're gonna be the best uncles ever.
Okay, we should eat.
You're handling this well, you know.
I figured you'd be locked in your lab, drenched in a panic sweat.
I had that scheduled for later.
Countdown continues.
As the Fantastic Four prepare to welcome a new member to the family.
Needless to say, preparations inside the Baxter building are well underway.
All right, Herbie.
Let's start the baby prep.
Let's go, Dad.
Herbie?
The Yancey Street bookies are putting the odds on the girl at four to five.
But chances of twins are a long shot.
Herbert?
Herbie!
The Arlington-ass cowboys want a minute to
yell at you before you go on maternity leave.
Speaking of, hold on here.
Lynn, where do you see Sue?
Larry, I will tell her when I see her.
Thank you, Lynn.
The question on everybody's mind is, will the baby be born with superpowers?
Herbie, we need to scan the baby.
The internal scan hasn't achieved the right level of precession for clear imaging.
Your deep space transmission.
Let's identify its origin.
Shall we record and file it?
Yeah.
One, two, three, four.
Two, fifteen.
What two fifteen?
I don't have any meetings today.
Two fifteen.
You are free.
Oh.
That two fifteen.
Thank you for making the time.
Johnny, do we have to today?
I had some thoughts on the new suit design.
There aren't any suit designs.
You finished them years ago.
They have dust on them.
I get it.
You're going to be a father soon.
New responsibilities.
You're a bit scared.
I'm not scared.
I'm busy, Johnny.
I'm busy.
There's a difference.
New transmission today.
Haven't listened to it yet?
More of the same.
It's a complex signal.
Knock yourself out.
Johnny, I'm running a test.
Cool.
I got time.
Bridge teleportation test.
Cool.
Movement of organic matter.
Six meters.
Thank you very much.
Let's run it.
It worked.
Johnny?
Yes?
Could you reset the breaker?
Other way.
Babe?
Babe, when you're done, can you... Hello, Herbie.
I, um... I just went by the nursery.
How's it looking?
Um, it's looking like Herbie's building a crib.
Which I kind of felt was a huge deal.
Well, I built this instead.
Anyone can build a crib.
Only I can build this.
Anyone can build a crib.
But not, not for us.
Not for him.
This is for him.
Because unlike anyone else, his parents have cosmically compromised DNA.
Read!
Read, we have done every test.
Well, not this one.
You want to see?
Fine.
Let's see.
See?
There's nothing wrong with him.
He's absolutely perfect.
That is such a bullshit way to end it on you.
Happy Halloween.
Easy with the candy.
Hi, Ben.
Hi, Heather.
How are you, man?
How's Sue doing?
Oh, she's got a float.
She was craving some major cookies.
Hey!
What time is it?
Say the thing!
That's not really something I say.
It's clobberin' time!
It's just in the cartoon.
Sorry, sir.
You want me to lift up the car?
This car?
Right here?
You guys are going to get me in trouble.
Alright, I'll try.
Can't do it.
Alright, I'll try one more time.
You're all going to get me in trouble.
One more time!
Can I trigger it?
No, no, no.
It's OK.
I love kids.
Spend the day with ten fourth grade girls and you may begin to rethink that.
Rachel.
Rosalyn, I mean I.
I'm Ben.
I know.
You grew up near Arnie, ain't ya?
Out right there.
Oh, very near.
You know, it feels really good being back here.
I like that everything stays the same.
Like maisies?
Yeah, the black and white cookies were always my favorite
when I was a kid, but I used to steal them back then.
Okay.
Well, maybe step inside next time.
The kids would love to see you.
Yeah, okay.
I will.
I'll bring cookies.
Oh, yeah?
Okay.
Yeah.
I'll bring cookies.
Oh, sweet Jesus.
It doesn't matter how long you beat it.
You're not going to make a meringue if there's egg yolks.
The real question is, do you have some vinegar or not?
I'm the vinegar guy.
What's happening?
Hey, why the long face?
What of it?
It sounds like your 215 with Reed didn't go well.
I'm sorry, pal.
Hey, I'm fine.
You know, I don't mind.
It's just... I hear you.
We'll go to space again.
Yeah, we will.
Who?
Nice.
Flame on.
Flame off.
Down.
Fantastic Kitchen.
Down.
Whoops.
Stop.
I finished the crib.
Stop.
It included two extras.
I don't know why.
Go, Tony.
No, it's okay.
This... this is me.
For the last few months, I've been tracking a small number of criminal organizations.
A small number?
47 of them.
Including the Puppet Master in the Bowery, the Wizard
in Gramercy Park, and Diablo in Washington Heights.
You baby-proofed the world.
It's a sweet gesture.
It's a thorough gesture.
But, uh, I like punching.
You mean clobbering?
No, I mean punching.
Let's see.
Hey, what time is it?
It's dinner time.
Get into it.
You sure it's not clobbering time?
Stop it.
Charlie, clobber.
Charlie, look at that.
Are
you the protectors of this world?
Yes, we are.
Your planet is now marked for death.
Your world will be consumed by the Devourer.
There is nothing you can do to stop him.
For he is a universal force.
As essential as the stars.
For everyone in this universe.
He is the only one that can cause us to save this world.
Hold your loved ones close.
And speak the words you've been afraid to speak.
Use this time to rejoice and celebrate.
For your time is short.
And that is the end of my Wit's End.
I, Harold, beginning... I, Harold, beginning.
I, Harold, beginning...
I, Harold... She's too fast to track, Jimmy.
She is too fast.
But I'm tracking where she's been.
What's a galactus, right?
And how do you consume a whole planet?
Here.
D-A-7-7-3.
A planet in the Proxima Delphi system.
You ate that whole planet?
Five planets, actually.
Five have disappeared, and I'm aware of.
There might be more that fit the pattern.
And the pattern is what?
That they've been chosen with great care.
Targeted.
And not just disappeared.
Destroyed.
Wait, you're saying these planets disappearing, that's connected to her?
Yes.
I've identified the Herald's energy signature and matched it to D-A-7-7-3.
She was there.
She was at all of them.
So you're saying this galactus... Can do exactly what she says it can do.
How long to get Excelsior launch ready?
I think we go up there.
Galactus comes here.
I don't know.
20 hours.
The launch window's in 16.
Guys, like I said, 16 hours.
Hey, guys.
I'll start the nav clock.
Hey, guys.
It's, uh, you and one of those in the prep team that'll meet you down there.
Uh, she spoke to me.
The Herald.
She spoke to me.
She spoke to all of us, Johnny.
Galactus.
The Valarie.
Well, when I chased her, she spoke to me in her language.
What did she say?
Well, it was in her own language.
I don't know.
What were the context clues?
Context.
Space.
And what was the tone?
Angry.
Threatening.
No, no, no.
Not at all.
It was, uh...
Kind.
Not kind.
Warm.
I don't know.
It was... She was, like, right here.
And I was looking into her beautiful face.
And I saw stars.
And I could see me in her face.
She spoke to me.
And she was kind of, um... Warm?
Kind.
Kind?
No.
I get it.
Johnny loves space.
Johnny loves women.
Now there's a literal naked space woman.
And Johnny thinks they had a moment.
I doubt she was naked.
It was probably a stellar polymer.
For the record, Ben loves when Johnny speaks in third person.
We need to get ready.
.
Okay.
So she spoke to you, yeah?
And?
There are 23 of these.
The only repeated language in the oldest recordings.
Now, I don't know who they are or what they're saying, but this...
This is the same.
This is her language.
Okay.
Maybe that is something.
Come on.
Reid wants to see you in the lab.
Sommet me.
I finally knocked it off the list.
What?
The new space suits.
It's flame retardant.
Maxed out oxygen supply, but you have to monitor the gauge.
If you stay flamed on in zero atmosphere, you will
burn through your air reserves in less than 10 minutes.
So you can follow them.
I take back every single bad thing I've been saying about you.
To myself.
In private.
Four years ago, we were dreamers.
Back then, the unknown meant adventure.
And mystery, and discovery.
With space, the greatest mystery of all.
Was
that the unknown also meant fear.
And profound, radical change.
Johnny showed me the new suit.
It's pretty spiffy.
Especially compared to the old ones.
How are the old ones?
Weren't adamant.
I could have known.
Stop.
Please.
You gotta stop beating yourself up about this.
You know, Stretch...
I got bad news for you.
You ain't that smart.
Like I said, I am that smart.
Oh yeah?
Can you cook?
It's more of an art, not a science.
Did you pass your Traverse test?
That was due to poorly marked signage.
This Galactus, this Herald...
They got no idea what they're up against.
So the four of us will return to space and face the danger waiting for us.
And we will find this Galactus.
Second the engines fire, everything you do from then on will be the first time a
pregnant woman has done them in the history of the world.
I really do.
Just because I'm not talking about her doesn't mean I'm not thinking about her.
I really love my new suit.
It's really your old one.
It's just a lot bigger.
Blewer.
It is actually Blewer.
Just a little bit extra around the side.
This is Excelsior Launch Control.
T-minus 2 hours 37 minutes 20 seconds.
Here we stand.
Prepared to face a danger that is unknown.
A danger that has threatened our home.
Threatened our families.
And threatened this planet.
The unknown will become known.
And we will protect it.
We will protect it.
Check
the check please.
Check.
Come out.
We have a
successful launch.
Thank you for...
...saying aye.
Approaching the FTL engine.
Wait for my signal Sue.
And 3, 2, 1, mark.
We are ready.
And clear for FTL navigation.
Faster than light in 3, 2, 1.
Go.
So the Herald's energy signature tracks to this binary system game.
LHS 275, yes.
Where we find her, we find Galactus.
Reid, what are we up against here?
Some sort of a space dragon or something?
Cool.
We don't know.
But it's basic tactical science.
Observe.
Assess capabilities.
Have her be collecting liquid, gas, solid materials.
Analyze his physiology.
Look, if he's just some big guy in a ship, then yes, you can punch him out.
Coming in on the dark side of the system's larger planet.
Copy that.
I'm going to take us out of FTL.
Okay everyone.
Be prepared.
So where's this Galactus?
That's strange.
The Herald's heat signature is coming from inside the planet.
What the hell is happening to that planet?
Is there something alive down there?
Charlie, bring us out of FPL!
Watch out!
Sue, hide us!
It's all gone.
The whole planet.
And it was 13% larger than Earth.
Help!
It's not responding!
I'm locked out!
Kirby!
Try to civilize the engines!
What's going on?
It's got us!
Take the engine.
Take the engine!
Johnny.
Your girlfriend's back.
Hi.
Galactus will see you.
I'll go.
All of you.
You should not have come.
No.
Scan everything and collect samples.
Right-o.
What does Galactus want?
He doesn't want.
He feeds.
How does he choose which planets to consume?
He does not.
You choose.
Yes.
Uh, Johnny, what are you doing?
You're the charmer.
So what did you say to me?
You threw me off the board.
What did you say?
It's a blessing.
It means...
Die with yours.
Last question.
So the surfboard, right?
Is that part of your body?
Or is that...
So she dumped you already?
No, it went well.
You have travelled far.
Yes.
To beg for mercy.
To talk.
You carry the power to save your world.
Yes, I believe we do.
Inside her...
the child.
What does that mean?
I will spare your world.
In exchange for the boy.
What?
No.
He possesses the power... cosmic.
And he will inherit this cursed throne.
It's not true.
He's normal.
We would know.
I would know.
I tested the child.
He hides his nature from you.
You will know.
He
meets your planet slowly.
While your child watches.
I'm waiting for you.
What?!
You're the one.
You are evil.
You can't be like me.
You cannot be like me.
How can you?
You cannot be like me.
I'm coming, buddy!
Move out of here!
Get us out of here, Ben!
F.T.L.
in visual range.
I'm here, Sue.
I'm here.
Surfer on R6!
Catch them!
Jump!
And go where?
Anywhere!
Just jump!
Bermie, I'm going to need your help stabilizing this thing!
Hold on!
We lost her.
All clear.
She's still on us.
Johnny, kill her!
Really?
Yeah, she wants to take your nephew!
Kill her!
All right, all right!
Just when I finally met someone interesting.
It's bending the beam!
The wormhole is bending the beam!
Marie, I can't get a lock on her!
I'll figure it out.
Figure it out.
Come on.
Marie, what's the plan?
Stop calling her sick!
Yes!
She's back!
Marie, I can't shake her!
Working on it!
Slippery!
Marie!
Trapes have a good deal here.
It's a pretty big neutron star.
I know.
We're gonna use it.
Isn't that basically a black hole?
Doesn't that kill us?
Check it yourself.
What's the plan?
If we draw her close enough to the star, she'll get stuck in the gravity
It'll take her a month to break free.
Take a second.
Reed, if you get sucked in...
Then trust me.
Hang on.
Come on!
It's chewing us up!
Get closer!
It's chewing us up!
A little closer!
Come on, Reed.
What are we doing?
Stu, we need 30 seconds of invisibility.
Can you do it?
After your next contraction.
Come
on!
You alright, Stu?
We need to strap you down.
Strapping her down?
Do not strap me down!
Not strapping her down.
Baby, you need gravity to push.
This is not right.
It's not how it's supposed to be.
I know, I know.
But we're gonna make it work.
You're doing wonderful, my love.
We don't have enough juice to get home.
No, we do not.
I could slingshot around the star.
Draft off its orbital momentum.
We need to get to point eight-eight speed of light.
Charlie, the velocity gauge!
On it.
Don't go, don't go.
I'm right here.
You're getting slingshot.
Here we go.
Coming up on point eight-two.
On your mark, Johnny.
Why, why do you want to take him?
Something's wrong with him.
Is there anything wrong with him?
You don't know.
Yes, I do.
I do know.
No, you don't.
You know everything.
You don't know that.
What if he's a monster?
He's not a monster.
Everything's gonna change.
I promise you.
You can't, you can't rule this out.
You can't rule this out.
Wait.
He's coming, he's coming.
One, two, three, four.
Push!
It's gone!
We're in a mission!
We need help!
Busters in case!
We're in a mission!
They're ready for you.
Step out.
Just keep it moving.
I'm sorry, we don't have a prepared stadium.
Welcome back.
Can you take us through how you defeated Galactus?
How we did it.
We didn't.
Not yet.
Not yet we didn't.
Follow up!
What do you mean you didn't?
We attempted to negotiate, but Galactus... he asked too high a price.
What does he want?
What did he ask?
He asked for a price.
He asked for our child.
He said, give us your child, and I will spare the earth.
We said no, obviously.
We said no.
You said no?
What does that mean for us?
You said no?
Could giving Galactus the child save us?
Just answer this!
Are we safe?
No.
Are we safe?
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I failed you.
I need the child.
I must get the child.
But he's just a baby.
He is a being of infinite power.
One strong enough to absorb my power.
So that I may fly.
What
do we do when he gets here?
What about the ship?
We blast it, problem solved.
We can't blast it.
Conventional weapons won't work.
So we run.
We run.
Draw him away from Earth.
We're faster than him, right?
Not faster than the Herald.
Well, we gotta head start.
That's all we got.
And then he can still eat the Earth anyways.
Reed, you want to take us through what you have?
What I have?
Yeah.
Right.
What I have is nothing.
Nothing.
You say nothing?
I analyzed the samples Herbig took from Galactus' ship.
All evidence suggests he predates our universe.
Our reality.
It could take ten years to understand his composition, let alone his existence.
You're talking about a god.
I'm talking about something beyond our experience.
An unknowable life.
Who imagines Franklin as his successor and possessing some kind of cosmic power.
That can't be true.
You ran all those tests, right?
I have, but I don't know what can or cannot be.
I'm not sure how long.
I'm not sure of anything.
I have nothing.
If we could solve something.
Any link in the chain.
He is the effort force.
R is the lever arm connected to the effort.
L is the load.
R is the lever arm connected to the load.
Archimedes.
The law of levers.
Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the Earth.
We need a lever.
You want to translate that?
Yeah, we solved the right small problem.
We solved the big problem.
The big problem?
And equal pastors lead the Gotteswald.
Yes, yes.
All right, boys.
Let's go look for levers.
Yes.
I know you're supposed to sleep when the baby sleeps.
By the middle and reading the books.
He thinks the baby absolutely sleeps.
I got to show you something.
What do you want to show me?
It's really good.
It's barely suffering.
Match me?
I'm sorry to hear that.
It's not like you chose this whole thing, being a mother, you know?
Sit down.
Good.
I got to show you.
It smells.
It's pheromones.
Relax.
Racking back the helmet, Kim.
Mohawk.
It's a blessing.
It means die with yours.
I told you I'd heard that before.
Now, we have a sentence translated, and we can
use that to figure out what all of this means.
I mean, Reed can build an algorithm, and his big brain is busy.
I'm all over this.
I'll present a stone to find him in Archimedes' leather.
See?
I can reference old stuff, too.
But
an unknown spacecraft, believed to be Galactus, has just passed Jupiter.
Financial institutions remain closed as angry protesters take to the streets.
The newly formed Galactus cult intends to summit Mount Everest.
Tempers boiled over in central London today, breaking out in violence as the
whole world wonders what is to be our fate.
Hey, what about us?
We got families, too.
Guys, it's getting bad out there.
It seems to me they have no plan for Galactus.
We, as a society, have to reckon with the idea that the
Fantastic Four could save us today, but they choose not to.
The idea is simple.
Reed Richards and Sue Storm hand over their baby, and we all live.
They're scared.
Who isn't scared?
Dad.
It's scary.
Why?
They can't hurt us.
It's scary because they hate us.
They think they might die, and they hate us for it, and they hate Friday Night.
And they may be right, because right now we don't have a workable plan.
The clock is ticking, so their plan looks good.
It's mathematical, and it's ethical, and it's available.
What are you saying?
I'm not saying anything.
Mom!
No Ben's wrong.
There's always people that can hurt you.
Sue, please hear me.
If I would never give him up to Galactus, I would never do that.
Mathematical?
Ethical?
Available?
It was so easy for you to say that.
It means nothing.
It means I know you, I know how your brain works.
It means you thought about it.
It means you rolled it around your head and worked the problem.
Which means nothing.
It is my job to think terrible things so the terrible things don't happen.
It's not your job, Reed.
That's you.
Okay.
You're right, it is me.
I don't dream, I don't wonder.
I invite the worst possible thing into my head to figure
out how to hurt them before they hurt anybody else.
And you know what?
Sometimes, sometimes you being you hurts me.
Well, I don't mean to.
Listen,
I am going to solve this.
I'm going to make it right.
We don't know what he is or what he might become.
But I am not giving him up.
I wanted to introduce you to someone.
This is our son.
Franklin.
There's been a lot of talk about him.
Most of you know me.
You know my story.
When Johnny and I were kids, our parents were in a car crash.
Our dad was driving and he lived, but our mom didn't.
I know what it's like to be part of a family that was torn apart.
Our dad, he wasn't always a great father, but he wanted to be.
He did his best.
He wanted us to be together because that's what family is.
It's about fighting for something bigger than yourself.
It's about connecting to something bigger than yourself.
It's about having something bigger than yourself.
And the four of us, the four of us already do because we have you.
You know, our mom always used to say, Susie, for you, I
would move heaven and earth, and we would do that for you.
I will not sacrifice my child for this world.
But I will not sacrifice this world for my child.
We will face this together.
We will fight this together.
And we will defeat this together.
As a family.
Archimedes, the law of leathers.
Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the earth.
We are going to move heaven and earth.
Well, just earth.
Sue?
You solved it.
I did?
Yes.
We are going to move earth to a place that Galactus will never find us.
How?
Well, we already have the lever.
The bridge.
The bridge is a prototype.
You moved an egg across the room.
You think you can do that with a planet?
We are out of options.
We have to make it work.
We will make it work.
Heaven and earth.
We interrupt this program with a special report.
And now an announcement from Reed Richards.
As you are about to see, we have solved the physics of teleportation.
The difference between a planet and an egg is only scale.
Starting immediately, we will create teleportation bridges spanning the globe.
They will be synchronized and interconnected.
Capable of transporting our planet to a new solar
system within a 2% margin of the inhabitable zone.
But, more importantly, away from Galactus, where
he won't be able to find us for millions of years.
Time is not on our side.
I'm reaching out to the world with a list of materials that we need in bulk.
Plutonium 239.
All right, people.
Like my old man used to say, if you don't know what to do, pick up a shovel.
I know.
We've got bridges to build.
Let's go.
The last 36 hours has seen a historical mobilization of every country working
together in a way the world has never seen before.
With Galactus' ship deep within our solar system and the Fantastic Four's Hail Mary
in the balance, we are calling on every helping hand.
If you can do something well...
Now you can do it for your planet.
We are getting reports that Galactus has passed Mars.
Let me record.
It takes too much power.
I only got this to work by tripling my intake,
which drained the New York City grid in two seconds.
To do this, if there isn't enough power in the world,
I'd have to turn off every light switch on the planet.
For how long?
Factoring in, we've got to keep building bridges.
How long will we need to conserve power?
Sacrifices will be made.
We all need to conserve power at a scale never attempted before.
Quite right, Herbie.
All the power.
The Worldwide Energy Curfew only works if
everybody does their part to conserve electricity.
Whoa.
Messed us, Bob.
Yeah.
Curfew Friday.
Now I look like an idiot.
A beer could be cool.
Seriously?
I built this to see what you looked like.
You see, most fathers want their sons to look exactly like them.
Inside and out.
But I don't want you to be like me.
There's something wrong with me.
Always has been.
The more I look at you, the less I know.
And the less I know, the more scared I am.
So you know what?
I'm not going to look anymore.
I'm going to let you tell me who you are.
And if you'd like to tell me now, that would be helpful.
Especially if you're an all-powerful space god.
I'd like to know that sooner rather than later, if you don't mind.
Oh no.
You're busy peeing.
You're a very good boy.
Thanks, Bob.
You're welcome, Bob.
Good boy.
This
is going to work.
Yeah, it's doing.
Yup, coming.
Guys, I am on to something.
Moving a planet here, Johnny.
Good, Johnny.
Fantastic four.
We'll move the planet over there.
Thank you.
Copy, Dolly.
Yes, copy, London.
London, copy Paris, copy Rome, copy Delaware, copy Vienna, copy
18th, 17th, 16th, 15th, 14th, 15th, 10th, 9th.
What is that?
We're covered!
She's
going for this bridge.
No, she's coming for Franklin.
Lock the building down!
Wait, where's Johnny?
How do you know that name?
And how did you get these?
How?
He barely has a grasp of the English language.
23 transmissions, all in your language, traced back to the planet Sembah.
Your home.
They were looking for you.
To thank you.
Once I translated one phrase, I pieced together
enough language to understand part of your history.
You were some sort of scientist or astronomer.
When Galactus came, you offered to serve as his scout and spare your planet.
Was it to spare your family?
He turned you into this.
Shalabal.
Those were messages from the one planet Galactus spared.
Your planet.
These planets weren't so lucky.
How many do you remember, Shalabal?
Did you come from Delphi?
Or Sagan?
Do you remember Polaris?
They begged for mercy.
You brought Galactus to all of these planets.
And now, you're bringing him here.
To my home.
To my planet.
I'm just trying to save my world, you know.
Like you did.
So give him the child.
If he was older, he would do it himself.
Like I did.
So take me.
Take me, not the boy.
Make me the sacrifice.
It's not yours to make.
Then stay and help us.
There is no help.
Take the child and leave this doomed place.
Maybe you'll live long enough to forgive yourselves.
Johnny, that was incredible.
I mean, does it even matter?
You saved Franklin.
Yes, it matters.
Read it.
We're not leaving, are we?
No.
No, we're not.
We're not leaving.
Uh, yeah, I'm sitting here.
You've got to go to society.
This is John.
I'm sorry.
Can you hear me?
The lines do this and I'm sorry.
Okay?
This is London.
Do you copy?
Hold London.
Hold Paris.
Paris first.
It might stop right there.
Stay up here.
SHINE ON IE.
We have to call you back.
We have to bring him here hope.
We need to bring Galactus here.
I will come back to you.
Call you back.
Hold on.
Read.
We need Galactus to come here.
I feel like we just spent a lot of time trying to prevent that from happening.
Listen to me.
We need to get him away from his ship.
We need to bring him here, to Times Square.
And then what?
And then instead of moving a planet away from one giant... we move addition away
from the planet if we run away from this planet.
We can route every power grid on the eastern
seaboard through our one last bridge charged back up.
We can keep the portal open... for...
37 seconds.
Not a lot of time to throw a space god off a planet.
No, it is not.
And where do we send him?
To the far edges of the universe.
Without a ship, he'll be stranded.
How are we supposed to get Galactus to Times Square?
How do we move one giant through one large bridge?
I haven't figured that part out yet.
You have.
And what?
We have to use the only thing Galactus wants.
No.
I'll think of another way.
What are you talking about?
You can't.
You can't think of another way.
I will.
There is only one way.
What are you talking about?
We have to use Wrangler.
Yes.
You want to use the boy?
You want to use the boy that's big?
No.
That's your plan?
No.
It's not my plan.
It's our plan.
It's the only plan.
It's not my plan.
I hate that plan.
It's a bad plan.
Come on.
That's a stupid plan.
Why don't I just burn through a ship?
That's another plan.
Reef, that's insane.
It's your kid we're talking about.
There has to be a different way.
I know.
It's true.
I know.
I know!
I thought this was one of the most beautiful things we'd ever built.
It feels terrible.
Everything now... can be beautiful again.
Everything can.
It'll be about a while.
Johnny.
Go check, see if they're back.
I'm in no rush to do that.
Well, I'm definitely not going to check.
I'm definitely not going either.
Thank you for going and checking.
You're welcome.
It's the least I can do to say thank you for going down and checking.
I'm definitely not going down.
Checking chance.
Oh, Jesus!
Don't do that.
I can't move you.
Don't do that.
Come on.
Let's run through the details.
I don't like when she does that.
It's like... it's unsettling when people just appear like that.
Bomb proof.
Shock proof.
Radiation proof.
Franklin will go here when Galactus arrives.
Hey, do we know what direction Galactus is going?
Well, it could be from anywhere, but when he crosses those lines, we trigger it.
We're in the very center of the city.
We're surrounded by miles of apartment buildings.
Any path he takes, he's going to be going
through thousands and thousands of families.
Very advanced.
So, this must be where the sausage is made.
I think I prefer just trying to steal the sausage.
Please, don't touch.
We'll fix that.
Hello there, little robot man.
Could you dim the lights for me, please?
Harvey, we wanted to ask you something.
And whatever it is, I would like him to ask me.
It's not... it's not Reid or me asking.
It's the entire planet asking.
Well, it wouldn't be the entire planet, now would it?
Just the over part?
No, Mr. Elder.
We've met Galactus.
He'll eat the under part first.
Well, regardless, why don't you butter me up?
Spread it on.
Okay, mole man.
Mole man?
Take the mole out of it.
It's Mr. Elder to you.
Give us a minute.
Just give us a minute.
Yes, that's it.
Johnny, don't be mad.
I didn't address you.
Don't listen to him.
Your answer.
Harvey.
I'm sorry, Sue.
End of days.
We all gotta learn how to laugh.
So, what do you need?
Evacuation orders are in effect in the greater New York area.
Please report to subterranea.
Welcome to subterranea.
Hello there.
Welcome, sunshiners.
Yes, do me a favor and just wipe your feet upon entry.
I'm kidding.
It's all dirt.
Please give me a move on.
We, the people of Earth, prepare for what could be our final moments.
The hours ahead may feel long.
But we must use them to support each other.
And we must hope.
We must dare to hope.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you very much.
We must use the time wisely to be with the ones we cherish.
Good evening.
Hey.
Wow, you're looking very distinguished.
I'm surprised to see you here.
I... did you come for spiritual guidance?
Oh, no.
No.
I just... came to see you.
I leave
you tonight with these words.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it's the only thing... that ever has.
PUSSIONS A little pause.
..
and we are back.
A little pause... and we are back.
Just a couple more steps.
Good work.
Clown little bugs.
He's gone, the breaker!
Good work, Johnny!
Oh my god.
What time is it, Ben?
No.
What time is it, Ben?
No, Johnny.
Say it!
I don't wanna!
It's not here!
It's for Rudy!
You are my salvation, my deliverance from this vicious hunger, to feed.
Cut down my son!
No!
You are
my salvation, my deliverance
from this vicious hunger, to feed.
You are my salvation, my deliverance from this vicious hunger, to feed.
Johnny, the controls!
A little pause.
..
and we are back.
Breathe!
It works!
Tell Franklin that we will join us.
Sue.
No.
Sue.
Is she breathing?
No.
No, baby, no.
You stay with us.
You stay with us, okay?
Stay with me, Sue.
Stay with us, baby.
Come on, Sue.
Stay with us.
Don't leave us.
Sue!
Come on, baby.
He's not us.
He's more.
Oh, folks, we have so much exciting ground to cover today.
The last year, a lot has happened.
We have seen it with our own eyes, but tonight, we're gonna see it through theirs.
Our city, our country, and our planet.
There's nothing to be nervous about.
You know, you just stick with me.
This thing will be done before we know it.
Obvious to say, but it is definitely worth
talking about, is the fact that the surfboard...
is not part of the body.
Okay, so, Ted wanted me to give you something as a thank you for doing this.
Interesting.
We would love it if Frankie would wear it for this in one minute.
No.
Absolutely not.
No, I don't think we can.
Well, I will break the bad news.
Thank you, Lynn.
You're welcome.
Places, please.
It's too early.
Way too early.
It's too early for that kind of stuff.
Can't even sit up without help.
I didn't know I didn't have time to eat breakfast.
Just this morning.
Only I could eat a magic baby.
He knows where his powers will take him.
And right now, he's here.
Explorers, heroes, citizens, or leaders, they continue to change,
becoming whatever we need them to be, whenever we need them.
Ladies and gentlemen, just when you thought we couldn't love, admire,
or appreciate them any more than we do... and they're now 25% more fantastic...
Reed, Sue, Johnny, Ben, and Franklin, the Fantastic Five!
Precious cargo, go to...
What's this?
No, I set that already.
Let's get this car set.
I got to set it in first before you close it.
It's going to make that noise until you thread the belt under the chart.
I don't know whether you get it through the outside.
You got to feed it through the belt.
Yeah, I'm doing it.
Well, I don't feel it.
Johnny's just... All right, I got it.
Let's do this alone.
You got to thread it through, connect it, and then pull the slide.
Thread it through.
It's thread through.
Just push from above.
Yeah, you got it.
Pull the slide.
I'll get there.
Pull the slide.
Thread through.
I can't feel my hands.
You from the left.
You from above.
Three, two, one.
Oh!
Yes!
That's a good sound.
Nice move.
All right.
Okay, we're ready.
Here you go.
Broke my primer.
OK, here we go.
Let's do that one again.
Oops.
Here we go.
All right.
See, we're turned off.
See, we're going for something a little bit more fun today.
Yeah.
like rock rock.
No, I love soccer.
bay, blinder, gosh.
We are back!
My roots are firmly planted here Were we once a shooting star that blazed the sky
Shattered into tiny specks of dust Longing for some wholeness we cannot describe
We're here Starving for comfort, starving for peace Let us be whole Let us
be, let us be, let us be devoured Let us be devoured
Grace is in your power Mighty tower Take away our pain
Let us be devoured Today
Separate minds and separate hearts and separate cars Believing we're all special
different seeds We have long forgotten how we came from far Grown from that same
sacred cosmic tree Starving for comfort, starving for peace Let us be whole,
let us be, let us be Let us be devoured, let us be devoured Graces in your power
Mighty tower Take away our pain Let
us be devoured Starving for comfort, starving for peace Let us be whole,
let us be, let us Be devoured Let us be devoured,
let us be devoured, let us be devoured today.
Let us be devoured, let us be devoured today.
Let us be devoured, let us be devoured, let us be devoured today.
