GWEN: Welcome to Oscorp.
I'm Gwen Stacy, a senior

I'll be with you for the duration of your visit.
Where I go, you go.
That's the rule. Remember that,

I guess I don't need to tell you what happens if you forget.
Shall we?
Come around this way.
Good afternoon, Gwen.
Dr. Connors.
Welcome.
My name is Dr. Curtis Connors.
Yes, in case you're wondering, I'm a southpaw.
INTERNS: Ha-ha-ha. I'm not a cripple,
I'm a scientist, and the world's foremost authority on herpetology.
That's reptiles, for those of you who don't know.
Like the Parkinson's patient
who watches on in horror as her body
slowly betrays her, or the man with macular degeneration
whose eyes grow dimmer each day, I long to fix myself.
I want to create a world without weakness.
Anyone care to venture a guess just how?
Yes.
Stem cells?
Promising. But the solution
I'm thinking of is more radical.
No one? PETER: Cross-species genetics.
Person gets Parkinson's
when the brain cells that produce dopamine
start to disappear.
But a zebra fish has the ability
to regenerate cells on command.
If you could give this ability
to the woman you're talking about, that's that. She's...
She's curing herself.

Not just in the community at large but at Oscorp, as well.
They called us mad scientists.
And then your father bred the spiders
and everything changed.
The results were beyond encouraging.

We were gonna change the lives of millions.

Just let me go. Is that a real knife?
Yes, it's a real knife.
My weakness, it's small knives.
Just let me go. Anything but
knives! Oh, it's so simple.
That was cool. What is this?
Webbing I developed. I don't think you want to know.
Let me go!
(GRUNTS)
Okay, one second. Hold on, one second.
Knock it off, man. No!
(SNEEZES)
Come on, let me go. Stop it!
(LAUGHING)
That isn't funny.
It is kind of funny. Help!
Shh.
(MUMBLING INDISTINCTLY)
(SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE)
This could've gone a lot worse.
Now hold still.
Oh!
Boys in blue here.
Yo, I got him. Freeze!
He's not going anywhere. Don't move.
You serious?
Who are you?
No one grasps the concept of the mask.
Freeze!
I just did 80 percent of your job. Huh?
And that?
That's how you repay me?
OFFICER: Hold it right there!
(♪♪♪)
Woo-hoo!
Well, that was fun.
Bus! Hey there, everybody.
(WOMAN SHRIEKS)
(HORN HONKING)
MAN: What are you doing?
Whoo!
Hey, watch out.
I'm swinging here.
(HORNS HONKING)
Woo-hoo!
So 38 of New York's finest
versus one guy in a unitard.
Am I correct?
You don't have to wait up for me.
Yes, I do. No, you don't.
Yes, I do.
Okay. Where were you?
I was out.
Did you get the eggs?
Nope. Forgot the eggs.
I'm gonna get them now.
No, you most certainly will not.
Not at this hour.
Look at me, Peter.
Take off the damn hood and look at me.
Peter. Where do you go?
Who does this to you?
Please go to sleep, Aunt May.
Please tell me. Aunt May, please,
please, please go to sleep.
I can't sleep. Don't you understand? I can't sleep.
(KETTLE WHISTLING)
(♪♪♪)
Peter, listen to me.
Secrets have a cost.
They're not for free.
Not now, not ever.
DR. CONNORS: Cross-species genetics is finally working.
I've used the lizard DNA to help Freddy regrow that limb.
RATHA: It's a miracle.
No, it's hard work and promise.
It's a step closer to the primate lab. He doesn't have time for every little step.
Little?
I just mean he can't wait.
Well, he'll have to.
Unless he wants to be a lab rat.
That's not what
I'm saying.
DR. CONNORS: So, what are you saying?
You have to start human trials.
Now.
No, I don't, and no, I won't.
Well, then he's going to die. People die.
Even Norman Osborn.
We are not finished.
Human trials?
Where are you going to find the people to volunteer?
As far as anyone's concerned, it's for a flu shot.
I might think the Veterans Hospital is a place to start.
You've gotta be kidding me.
I don't think I am.
It's a little late for shock and indignation.
About 15 years late.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Richard Parker wore it well.
On you, it's a cheap suit, as it was then.
I had nothing to do with that.
Is that what you told his son?
I don't know what you're saying.
You don't know, or you don't wanna know?
I'll remind you what happened.
Richard Parker said just about the same thing then that you are saying now.
The clock is ticking, Dr. Connors.
I, um...
I won't.
Fine.
The formula is ours now anyway.
Say goodbye to that arm you have dreamed of.
I'm shutting you down.
Have your office cleared out by the morning.
Your toys can be taken away too, you know.
Right, Freddy?
Hey. Hi.
How's it going?
Where you headed?
Monday, B track. Oh, it's Thursday.
It's Thursday? What happened?
What? Your eye, it looks bruised.
Oh, yeah, no, I don't...
Maybe I got a rash or...
It's bad. Have you gone to the nurse?
Mm-hm.
Do you like branzino?
Like, a fish.
Mm-hm. No, no. I know. I know.
Well, if you want,
you can come to this address at 8:00 tonight.
My mom's making branzino.
So...
It's apartment
2016. I didn't write that pan down.
I don't know why I... Heh.
I'll remember it. Oh, okay.
2016.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)
(♪♪♪)
(GROANING)
(♪♪♪)
Hi. Heh.
How did you get out there?
The fire escape.
Your doorman's intimidating.
It's 20 stories.
Yeah. It's all right.
This is your room. Yes, this is my room.
Books.
Shoes.
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, hey, uh...
I got your mom, um,
these.
Oh, lovely.
Beautiful, right? Beautiful.
They were nice.
No, they're beautiful. I'm sorry.
No, it's impressive. They actually held together very well.
I'm gonna keep these. Heh.
You have your suit in there?
My Suit?
It's for dinner. Are you gonna...?
Are you gonna wear that?
That's, um... Hey, hon.
You must be Peter.
Dad, this is Peter.
Nice to meet you, sir.
Nice to meet you.
Dinner's ready.
Hope you like branzino.
Who doesn't?
(♪♪♪)
(GRUNTS THEN LAUGHS)
DR. CONNORS: Emma, it's Curt.
Is he there? EMMA: I'm afraid not, doctor.
The car is taking him to the Veterans Hospital in Brooklyn.
No. He can't, Emma.
You have to stop him. He...
I would, but I always lose him on the bridge.
(GRUNTS)
I'll make sure Dr. Ratha returns your call as soon as possible.
(♪♪♪)
I'm going to Holton Avenue, across the river. I'm in a hurry.
You want me to take the tunnel or the bridge?
Bridge! Take the bridge.
All right, we'll do that.
Hey, you all right
back there?
(GROANING)
You tweaking,
man?
Just drive.
Okay.
HELEN: You're having trouble there?
The head goes on the other...
Help Gwen's friend with his fish.
PETER: Oh, I...
I got no idea.
First time.
(WHISPERS) Branzino. HELEN: George.
Tell us about your day. Did you catch that spider guy yet?
CAPTAIN STACY: No, we didn't catch him yet.
But we will. He's an amateur
who's assaulting civilians in the dead of night.
He's clumsy, he leaves clues,
but he's still dangerous.
He's assaulting people?
I'm not sure.
I mean, I saw that video
with him and the car thief, and...
I think most people would say that he was
providing a public service.
Most people would be wrong.
If I wanted the car thief off the street, he'd already be off the street.
So why wasn't he then?
(CHUCKLES)
Let me illuminate you.
The car thief was leading us to the people who run
the operation. It's a six-month-long sting.
It's called strategy. I'm sure you're aware of the term?
You've heard about that in school? Yeah.
CAPTAIN STACY: Good.
(MOUTHS) I know.
He didn't know you had a plan. You seem to know
a lot about this. Know something we don't?
Whose side are you on? I'm not on anyone's side.
I saw a video on the internet... Oh.
You saw the video on the Internet.
Well, then the case is closed. PETER: Well, no.
If you watch the video...
Maybe send you a link?
It looks like he's trying to help.
On the Internet he's being made out to look like a hero.
No, no.
I'm not saying he's a hero.
What are you trying to say? He's trying to help.
He's trying to do something the police can't.
Something the police can't?
I don't know. What do you think we do?
Sit around eating doughnuts
with our thumbs planted up our asses?
(IN NORMAL VOICE) George. George. Daddy.
Up your what? HELEN: Howard.
He stands for what you stand for.
Protecting innocent people from bad guys.
CAPTAIN STACY: I stand for law and order. That's what I stand for.
Okay? I wear a badge.
This guy wears a mask like an outlaw.
He's hunting down criminals that all look the same,
like he's got some son of personal vendetta.
But he's not protecting innocent people, Mr. Parker.
Let's get some air, Peter.
Dad, we need to talk. CAPTAIN STACY: Yes, we do.
PETER: Thank you for having me. I'm sorry
if I insulted you. It was not my intention.
You're welcome. Branzino was real good, Mrs. Stacy.
Thank you. HELEN: You're welcome.
SIMON: Dad. CAPTAIN STACY: Yeah?
(♪♪♪)
Well, that was something.
I'm sorry. I thought he was going to arrest me at one point.
No, I wouldn't have let him arrest you.
What happened to your face? I wanna tell you something.
Oh. Heh.
Okay.
I've been bitten...
So have I.
Okay.
Okay, okay, okay. I gotta tell you this one thing.
I gotta tell you this one thing about
