the vigilante and the car thief. Oh, okay.
What?
No, no, no. I don't want to talk about that.
Forget that. I won't talk about that.
I'm gonna talk about me, okay? What about you?
It's impo... I wish I could just...
I can't. It's hard to say.
Just say it.
I don't know. Say it.
What? What?
What?
Okay, then forget it.
You...?
Shh, shh.
You're Spider-Man. Shut up.
Gwen?
Gwen... Uh...
Your father wants you to come inside.
Okay.
- Okay? - Yeah.
Gwen.
I'm coming.
Oh, I'm in trouble.
Will you please
find out what is going on, Alfred?
Oh...
Excellent.
Hey!
Hey! What is that?
- Oh, my God! - I don't know!
Get back in the car!
Help!
Incoming!
Somebody help!
Help me! My kid is trapped!
I want my dad!
Dad!
Hey, hey, hey. Help!
Hey, buddy.
It's okay. Get away.
Aah. Help! Hey, look.
Just a normal guy, all right?
Wanna hold this?
Hold my mask.
All right.
What's your name?
Jack?
Yes. Let's get you out of here.
Okay, stay very still.
All right.
Okay, I got you.
Okay, look.
I'll undo the belt. You hold on
to that seat in front of you. On three?
All right. Okay, one, two, three.
See how easy that was? You did a great job.
All right, okay.
Jack, climb now.
I can't. Yes, you can.
Put it on, the mask.
It's gonna make you strong.
Jack, trust me.
Put it on.
There you go. That's it. That's it, buddy.
Okay, now, climb.
Come on, Jack.
Do me a favor.
A little faster, okay, bud?
You're doing great, buddy. You're doing great.
That's it. Keep coming.
Keep it coming.
Keep coming.
No! Aah!
Jack. Oh, God.
Thank God.
You okay?
My son. My son.
Oh, my son.
My son.
Who are you?
Spider-Man.
Beautiful.
Settle down, guys.
Settle down, boys. Settle down.
- Come on. - Listen.
At approximately
9 p.m. last night, an incident took place on the Williamsburg Bridge.
Much of what occurred is speculation
at this point. However, several eyewitnesses
to the crime, as well as our own preliminary findings, have
positively placed
one individual at the scene.
Which is why, this morning
lam issuing a warrant
for the masked vigilante known as Spider-Man.
And lastly, city council members met with homeowners and airport officials
in the first of four meetings...
It's so beautiful.
Knows how to bite though.
Who else knows about this?
Just you.
Really?
Hey, you don't...
You don't believe what the police are saying, do you?
Of course not.
Does it scare you?
What you can do?
No.
What did that thing on the bridge look like?
It was real big. Too big to be human.
You gotta lay low.
No, can't do that.
You've got to.
I mean, why...?
Because of last night.
Those people on the bridge.
Whatever was attacking them would have killed them.
So
I gotta go after it.
That's not your job.
Maybe it is.
I really liked kissing you.
You're an amazing kisser.
Well, you know, it was...
It was good for me too.
Yeah? Mm-hm.
Yo!
Who did that?
Hello!
It's not nice to snoop.
I gave everyone the week off.
Yeah.
Shouldn't you be at school?
No, I got a free track.
I wanted to ask you a question.
How would a predator
track a reptile?
Oh, they don't. Most reptiles are at the top
of their food chain.
Kings of their domain.
They gotta have vulnerabilities.
Why the sudden interest in the cold-blooded?
Just asking a question.
I got school stuff.
Biology profiles to do.
Mm. So because of the cold blood,
would they react to changes in temperatures?
You'd have to catch one first.
Did you know there's a rumor of a new species in New York?
Beautiful and quite large.
What do you know about it? You seen it?
No, it's not yet classified.
But it can be aggressive
if threatened.
Doc, you all right?
Never been better, Peter. Never been better.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Afraid I have to ask you to leave. I have a new project
I'm working on. I need to be alone.
Good. Good, good.
Good.
Don't worry, Mr. Parker. I'll be back.
Wonderful things are coming.
Wonderful things.
Fred?
Mr. Mayor, if there was a giant dinosaur
running around you would be the first to know.
So tell your son he can rest easy, all right?
Yeah. You and me both, sir.
Okay. Bye-bye.
Mr. Parker, why are you
not in school? Got a free track.
Okay, well, I do not.
So make your point quickly.
Fine, there may not be a dinosaur running around.
There is something more dangerous, and I know who.
You know who? Dr. Curtis Connors.
He's a biochemist. Of Oscorp?
That's right. Dr. Connors,
who's my daughter's mentor. Is that who?
That's the one. Okay.
Recently, Dr. Connors gave Gwen a college recommendation.
It was beautiful. When I read it, I cried.
You would have me believe that he
is running around dressed up like a dinosaur?
Not dressing up and not a dinosaur. He has transformed himself into a lizard.
Let me ask you a question.
Do I look like the mayor of Tokyo to you?
I'm telling you the absolute truth.
This man has worked for his whole life on cross-species genetics.
He lost an arm, he tried to grow it back, but the equation was imbalanced.
He has turned into a lizard. He's using lizard DNA.
He is dangerous, and he is planning something horrific. I know. I know.
Okay. All right, I get it.
Here's what we'll do.
You'll go back to hanging out with the citizens of Tokyo.
I'm gonna go back to
protecting the citizens of this fine, fair city of ours.
Sergeant Butler, please escort Mr. Parker
- back to school. - Captain Stacy,
I'm not messing around.
Just bring him in. Just call him in. You have to call him in.
He is a danger to everybody.
- Just, please, listen to me. - Let's go.
- Jimmy. - Mm?
Get me everything we have on Dr. Curtis Connors.
Okay? Right away. Yeah.
Subject: Dr. Curtis Connors.
Current temperature: 89.7.
Steady for 48 hours.
Blood panels reveal lymphocyte and monocyte readings
consistent with subject's past.
Clotting rate vastly improved.
Marked enhancement
in muscle response,
strength and elasticity.
Eyesight similarly improved.
Subject no longer requires corrective lenses.
This is no longer about curing ills.
This is about
finding perfection.
In attempt to redress regenerative relapse,
dosage has been increased to 200 milligrams.
You stopped me once.
You won't stop me again.
I'm getting stronger every day!
Oh, that sucked.
Peter Parker.
Come in.
You should maybe, uh,
consider coming in through the lobby.
Also, my father is under the impression
that you require psychiatric attention. Oh, really?
Peter.
What happened?
You should see the other guy.
The other guy, in this instance, being a giant mutant lizard.
Hey, Gwen, honey.
Do you want cocoa?
Howard's making some.
Shh.
No, Dad, I do not want cocoa.
Honestly, I'm 17 years old.
Okay.
I remembered somebody saying her fantasy was to live in a chocolate house.
Well, that's impractical.
And fattening.
Chocolate house.
Sony, Dad. It's good.
I can't have cocoa right now because I'm work...
I'm doing this, um...
I have cramps.
Oh. I feel kind of pukey and just son of...
Like, emotional. I keep crying. It's okay. Good.
Good. It's brutal.
You don't want to know.
It's, like, bad. Got it.
Thanks, Daddy. All right.
Easy, Bug Boy.
What'd you call me?
I'm going to be all right.
No. No. Yes. Yes.
I know what this is.
What is it?
Every day, for as long as I can remember, my father
has left every morning
and he's put a badge on his chest
and strapped a gun to his hip.
And every day, for as long as I can remember,
I haven't known if he was gonna make it home.
I got you.
Okay?
I gotta stop him, though.
I have to, because I created him.
What do you mean?
I gave him an equation
that made all of this possible.
Something my father had been working on, you know.
Secretly. Now I realize why he kept it a secret.
Point is, this is my responsibility.
I have to fix it.
Peter.
Hey.
Let's get out of here.
Let's just get out of here.
Just for a minute. Can we?
- No. No. - Yeah. Yes.
Yes. No.
Yes.
If my parents see me leaving, I'm dead.
Your parents aren't gonna see you leaving.
Peter Parker.
Spider-Man.
I'm not the one who needs
help.
There will be no more loneliness,
no more outcasts.
Species-wide distribution could enhance
humanity on an evolutionary scale.
One has to adapt to survive.
"That, changing like the snake, I might be free
to cast off flesh wherein I dwell confined."
Would you give it all up after all you know
you can do?
All the power you feel.
I can save
them!
You won't get in
the way of my plan,
Peter Parker!
Go. Go!
Nowhere to hide, Peter.
All these souls,
lost and alone.
I can save them.
I can cure them.
There's no need to stop me,
Peter.
You're not thinking straight, doc.
Stop this. This isn't you.
Let's talk this out.
Doc!
Oh, boy.
You don't want to talk?
There you go.
Don't...
Make me...
have to...
hurt you!
That is disgusting.
Gwen.
I'm gonna throw you out the window. What?
Uh-oh.
Somebody's been
a bad lizard.
This is Lieutenant Williams from the New York City
Police Department. We've got this building surrounded.
Alpha, let's move ahead. Go!
Hey. Where are you?
I'm fine. I'm okay.
I'm in the sewer, tracking him. I gotta stop him before anyone gets hurt.
But we need an antidote.
Do you know how to run a serum? I do it all the time.
Okay, great. Okay, I need you to go to Oscorp.
I need you to access the cross-species file. It's a blue serum.
File 12389.
Okay, got it.
On my way.
I spent my life as a scientist trying to create a world without weakness,
without outcasts.
I sought to create a stronger human being,
but there's no such thing.
Human beings are weak, pathetic, feeble-minded
creatures.
Why be human at all
when we can be so
much more?
Faster. Stronger.
Smarter.
This is my gift to you.
Oscorp.
- Captain Stacy! - What?
We have a confirmed sighting, sir. The Lizard's headed
toward Canal Street. What about Spider-Man?
Inside the high school.
I want that Spider-Man off the street.
The lizard creature has released a biological agent.
All efforts to stop him have failed
and he is now proceeding north on 7th Avenue. Over.
Hi. Where are you?
Peter, hi. I'm at Oscorp.
You have to get out of there now.
The antidote is cooking. No, no, no.
Connors is on the way. He's coming to you right now.
He needs the device. He's gonna infect the whole city!
Eight minutes left.
You're gonna wait eight minutes after what I told you?
You leave right now.
That is an order, okay?
I'll get everybody out.
Did you hear wh...?
Gwen! Gwen! You Mother Hubbard. Are you serious?
He's heading south.
Stand down now, or we will open fire.
You are surrounded. There is
no escape.
Go, go!
Clear!
Clear up top!
Clear, sir!
All clear here, sir!
Freeze!
Down on the ground.
Your hands behind your head.
Now!
Parker.
It's headed to Oscorp!
And your daughter's there right now.
You gotta let me go.
Hold your fire!
Well, Paul, if I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it.
I won't venture to say what it is crawling up
the north side of the Oscorp Tower,
but clearly it is not human and it is very, very strong.
Time remaining: one minute.
Antidote complete.
Oh, man.
We're getting the latest details. This is just coming in.
The New York Police Department
has called for a city-wide evacuation,
everything south of 54th Street.
If you are south of 54th Street,
you have to move out of the area immediately.
Spider-Man appears to be heading towards Oscorp.
He looks injured
and it's really not clear if he's gonna make it.
That's the guy who
saved my boy on the bridge.
Troy, they're clearing us out.
Something bad's going down in Midtown.
Still friends with Matthews, that crane operator on 6th?
Yeah. Get him on the phone for me.
The cops are evacuating everybody.
Get him on the phone for me.
Hey, Charlie, get me Enriquez on 54th Street!
You got it. Angelo, get your mug over here.
Wolski! You're getting some overtime!
All tower cranes on 6th,
swing your jib arms over the avenue. Boom angles at 90 degrees.
Spider-Man needs those big boys high and lined up.
Let's give him a clear approach. Over.
Come on, Parker.
Hey.
Dad!
I have to get this to Spider-Man. Get in.
It can stop the Lizard. Get in the car.
You don't understand! Yes, I do.
Your boyfriend is a man of many masks.
I get it.
Give me this.
Get in the car.
Please make sure he's okay.
Initializing Ganali device.
Detonation in T-minus two minutes.
Poor Peter Parker.
No mother, no father,
no uncle.
All alone.
He's not alone.
Detonation in T-minus 45 seconds.
Hey!
Gift from Gwen.
I got this, Peter! Go!
T-minus
30 seconds.
Detonation in T-minus

Seven.

One.
No.
No!
Aah. Unh!
The captain.
Captain!
The Lizard.
It's okay.
We stopped him.
Okay.
Let's get you out of here. Aah.
Come on. Aah...
Okay, okay, okay.
Look at me. Stay with me.
Help's on the way, okay? You need to...
You need to be gone when they get here.
Okay?
I'm not going anywhere.
I was wrong about you, Peter.
This city needs you.
Here.
You're gonna need this.
You're gonna make enemies.
People will get hurt.
Sometimes the people closest to you.
So I want you to promise me something, okay?
Leave Gwen out of it.
Promise me that.
Huh?
You promise me.
Oh...
An eerie calm
has set in over New York City.
Apparently, some sort of
aerosolized antidote was launched from
Oscorp Tower, which seems to have counteracted the biotoxins.
Residents of Lower Manhattan can rest peacefully,
knowing that the alleged mastermind
of this terror plot, Dr. Curtis Connors, is behind bars.
We've got John Niles
on the street for a report in Lower Manhattan.
John, what do you see?
Sweetheart, it's all right.
It's all right.
Rough night.
It's gonna be all right.
Where have you been?
Hi.
My father died.
There was a funeral.
They shot off
rifles and they made speeches.
Two of my teachers showed up.
And Flash showed up.
Everyone was there but you.
Can't do this. Can't do this.
I'm sorry. I can't, um...
What are you saying?
I can't see you any more.
I can't.
He made you promise, didn't he?
To stay away from me, so I'd be safe.
What a pretty
girl.
Yeah.
That's what Uncle Ben said.
Did you ask her out?
Why?
Can't.
Why?
I'm just no good for her.
Peter Parker, if there's one thing you are, it's good.
Anyone has a problem
with that can talk to me.
Peter, I know things have been
difficult lately,
and I'm sorry about that.
I think I know what you're feeling.
Ever since you were a little boy,
you've been living with so many unresolved things.
Well, take it from an old man:
Those things send us down a road.
They make us
who we are.
And if anyone's destined for greatness, it's you, son.
You owe the world your gifts.
You just have to figure out how to use them.
And know that wherever they take you,
we'll always be here.
So come on home, Peter.
You're my hero.
And I love you.
- What's up, Parker? - What's up?
Hey. How's it going?
You coming along, man?
Cool shin.
Yeah.
Dude's crazy.
But chicks dig him.
Come on, guys, you heard the bell. Get to class.
I had a professor once who liked to tell his students
that there were only 10 different plots in all of fiction.
Well, I'm here to tell you he was wrong.
There is only one:
"Who am I"?
Mr. Parker.
Tardy again.
At least we can always count on you.
Sony, Miss Ritter, won't happen again, I promise.
Don't make promises you can't keep.
Yeah, but those are the best kind.
Okay, class, open your books.
Let's begin on page one.
Hello, doctor.
Did you tell the boy?
Tell him what?
Did you tell the boy the truth about his father?
No.
Well, that's very good.
So we'll let him be
for now.
You should leave him alone!
