In 1924, Captain Witwicky is held in the Psychopathic Institute for the Long-Term Insane (no, really. That's what it's called). He keeps raving about a war that will come to our world. In 1935, one of the First Seven is shown the new Hoover Dam, including the new cryoblocks for Ice Man. The old man is retiring soon, and wants one last look at the cube. An aide asks if the old man believes that more of them will come. He does, saying that it's not a matter of "if", but "when".
