Synopsis: Bruce asks Agent Pratt how they made it look like the Hulk killed the boy from the collapsing building. Pratt replies taht it was small time stuff, anybody could do it. Bruce tells Pratt that he saw him die with his own eyes. Bruce asks if he is just another man made to look like Pratt through plastic surgery. Pratt doesn't answer. When Pratt picks up a vial of blood, Bruce mentions that it is normal blood and won't do him any good. Pratt hits Bruce across the face with his hand and knocks him to the floor. While out, Bruce dreams about being in the apartment he was staying at before being captured and seeing the woman who he was staying with's decomposing body talking to him. Pratt splashes water on Bruce to wake him up and tells him they are leaving but won't tell Bruce where they are going. As they walk out of the hospital, a man is being wheeled in on a stretcher and they overhear that he worked at the morgue and tried to kill himself. As they head for a car, Pratt tells Bruce they are going to talk with some dead people. As they drive away, Bruce gets a bad fever and passes out again. He dreams that he is in the bed at the apartment and an IV is attached to his arm and runs to the decomposing but still living body of the women he was staying with, Laurie Copeland. He wakes up and Pratt is pretending like he was just telling Bruce why they wanted his blood. Pratt and Bruce arrive at the morgue and Pratt asks the person there to see a list of recent entries. The man asks for ID and Pratt shoots him. Bruce runs over and finds that the man is still breathing. Pratt looks on the list and sees where Laurie Copeland's body is being kept. Pratt tells Bruce to pull open the drawer with Laurie's body but Bruce says no. A woman walks in and asks if Bruce and Pratt need any help in which Pratt shoots her. Bruce checks the woman and finds her alive also but Pratt warns that the next person won't be so lucky. Pratt reviews what has transpired with Bruce recently with being hit by a car and Laurie taking him in and then going to Kansas City. Bruce then was in and out of consciousness for awhile in the apartment room until the police came in and found a decomposing body who they assumed was Laurie Copeland and also assumed Bruce was someone named George Copeland. Pratt points out that given the time between when Laurie supposed left and when the body was found with Bruce, there was no way that Laurie would have decomposed that much. Bruce asks who killed the woman in the closet. Pratt replies Clarence Sodworth, a PhD who moonlights as a registered executioner by lethal injection. Bruce opens the drawer supposed holding Laurie's body and finds it empty. The police break in suddenly and shot Pratt. The police walk up to arrest Bruce when Pratt, who was pretending to be dead, starts shooting the policemen. One of the remaining police finally gets Pratt in the chest while Bruce falls out the window to the outside of the building where he is surprised to find Sandra alive and standing in front of him. He tells him she has wheels and that they should be off.
