Amazing Spider-Man, The (2012) Movie Script
Five, four, three, two, one.
Ready or not, here I come.
Dad?
Dad?!
You're gonna stay with aunt May
and uncle Ben for little while.
I want to go with you.
Doesn't like crust on his sandwiches.
And he likes to sleep with
a little light on at night.
Come on.
Dad...
Be good.
- Sorry.
- Morning Flash.
Good morning Parker.
Hey, it's Peter, right?
- I really like your photos.
- Oh, thanks.
Hey listen, are you busy Friday night?
Cool, can you take pictures
of my boyfriend's car?
I just, really wanted to put
him a good one for his birthday.
That's really nice of you,
that's such a nice thought.
- I'm gonna get the old, old schedule.
- OK.
- Parker!
- Yes sir?
You want to keep that skateboard?
- Yeah.
- Keep it off the ground, wheels up!
- Like that?
- That's it!
OK!
Eat your vegetables Gordon, come on!
Hey Parker, come on,
get a picture of this!
Put him down man.
Don't eat it, don't eat that.
- Take a picture, Parker.
- Put him down Flash.
- Take a picture.
- Put him down, Eugene!
Come on! Get up Parker!
Get up! Come on!
- I'm still not taking the picture.
- Stay down Parker!
- Who wants one more?!
- Flash!
Flash, are we still on
for after school today?
My house, 3:30? I hope
you've been doing your homework
last time I was very disappointed in you.
Flash, how about we go
to class? How about it?
Whatever.
I thought that was great,
what you did out there.
It was stupid, but it was great.
You should probably go to the
nurse, you might have a concussion.
- What's your name?
- You don't know my name?
I know your name.
I just want to know
if you know your name.
Peter.
- Parker, Peter Parker.
- OK.
- I'd still go to the nurse, though.
- You're Gwen, right?
Gwen Stacy.
I'm making spaghetti
and meat balls tonight.
You're serious? Spaghetti...
Since when don't you like
spaghetti and meat balls, huh?
Oh my God, what happened to your face?
I'm alright, I fell, skating.
Ben Parker, don't you even think about
leaving that filthy box in my kitchen.
- These are my bowling trophies.
- Oh, then by all means,
please, leave that
filthy box in my kitchen.
- What happened to you?
- He fell.
Why you kids ride those
things I'll never know.
Because it's stupid and dangerous,
remember when we were
stupid and dangerous?
- No.
- Trust me, we were.
- Good to know. Hey, where's the flood?
- Follow me, I'll show you.
- You serious?
- Yes!
I think it's the condenser tray.
No, too much water for the condenser tray
or the heat exchange tubings,
this is gotta be the filling.
That's the only thing
that makes any sense.
- Can you fix it?
- No, not tonight.
- I'll go by the hardware store tomorrow.
- Good deal,
meanwhile put this on your face.
How's the other guy look?
Come on, I know a right
cross when I see one.
Yes or no, do I have to
call somebody's father?
No, no.
I wouldn't tell your aunt May.
Pity the poor kid who'd
have to suffer her wrath.
Hey, before you come up, see if
there's anything else worth saving.
Yeah.
- Excuse me?
- What?
Can I help you?
I don't know, I'm here
to see Dr. Connors.
You'll find yourself to the left.
You are here for the internship?
Yeah. Yeah.
OK, you'll find your badge to the left.
- Are you having trouble finding yourself?
- No, I got it.
OK, Mr. Gueverra.
- Gracias.
- De nada.
Welcome to Oscorp.
Born from the mind of our
founder, Norman Osborn,
the Oscorp Tower has its
Our scientific minds are
pushing the boundaries
of defense, biomedical and
chemical technologies.
The future lies within.
Welcome to Oscorp, my name is Gwen
Stacy, I'm a senior at Midtown Science,
and I'm also head intern to Dr. Connors,
so I'll be with you for
the duration of your visit.
Where I go, you go,
that's the basic rule.
If you remember that all will be fine,
and if you forget that then...
Tell them Rodrigo Gueverra is down here!
Please, just tell them
Rodrigo Gueverra is down here!
I guess I don't need to tell you
what happens if you forget that.
Shall we?
Come around this way.
- Good afternoon Gwen.
- Dr. Connors.
Welcome, my name is Dr. Curtis Connors.
And yes, in case you're
wondering, I'm a southpaw.
I'm not a cripple, I'm
a scientist and I'm the
world's foremost
authority on Herpetology,
that's reptiles for those
of you that don't know.
But like the Parkinson's patient who watches
on in horror as her body slowly betrays her,
or the man with Macular Degenerations,
whose eyes grow dimmer each day,
I long to fix myself, I want to
create a world without weakness.
Anyone cares to venture
a guess just how? Yes?
Stem cells?
Promising, but the solution
I'm thinking of is more, radical.
- No one?
- 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 can somehow give this ability to the
woman you're talking about, that's that...
She's curing herself.
You just have to look
pass the gills on her neck.
And you are?
He's one of the Midtown Science's
best and brightest.
Really?
- He's second in his class.
- Oh.
- Second?
- Yeah.
- You sure about that?
- I'm pretty sure.
I'm afraid duty calls, I'll leave you
in more than capable hands of miss Stacy.
Nice meeting you all.
If you'd like to gather round.
Welcome to Oscorp's Tree of Life.
Our planet's tree of life is a mess.
At Oscorp's cross-species division...
Hi.
What are you doing Rodrigo?
- Oh yeah.
- What are you doing here?
I work here, I don't work here.
I was gonna say I work here,
but it seems you in fact work here, so
you know that I don't in fact work here.
- Are you following me?
- No, I'm not following you.
- I had no idea you worked here.
- Then why would you be here?
I just snuck in because I love science.
- You love science?
- I'm passionate about it.
I have to lead this tour group, so I'm
gonna ask you more about this later.
Do not get me in trouble,
stay with the group.
Alright, guys, I'm gonna take
you to the bio-reactor room now.
I'm sorry! Yo.
We received the results from
the MRNA sequences this morning,
they were...disappointing.
- So define "disappointing".
- Another dead end.
It's the Decay Rate Algorithm.
This is to be expected.
- Expected? You said you were close.
- We are close, but it's gonna take time.
He doesn't have time, Norman
Osborn is dying, Dr. Connors.
Save him.
Or we both loose our heads.
Give me your badge.
Give it to me.
Sorry.
Disgusting, now I smell like beer.
I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to do that, I'm...
- Get your hand off her.
- I'm trying to get my hand...
- Are you kidding?!
- No, I'm sorry.
- Are you freaking kidding me?!
- Get him Rooney.
- Man, I'm sorry!
- Help him, Brad!
Man, are you alright?
No man, not my board.
Please dude, no...
I'm so sorry!
Conney Island next stop.
Next stop, Coney Island.
- Hey! Hey.
- Hey.
- Sorry, I'm late, I got a...
- We were so worried.
I know, I'm sorry... Watch it!
That's a fly, Peter.
I'm so sorry I kept you guys up.
I'm insensitive, I'm
irresponsible, I'm hungry.
- Drinking?
- I don't think so.
This isn't meatloaf.
This beats all other meat loafs.
- Something is very wrong.
- Yeah.
Nobody likes your meatloaf.
I got it.
- He took the frozen macaroni and cheese.
- I noticed that.
Why didn't you tell me you
didn't like my meat loaf?
You could have said
that to me 37 years ago,
how many meat loafs have I made for you?
Peter? What are you doing up there?
- Homework.
- Be careful.
Sure.
Dr. Connors?
- You don't remember me, I...
- You're the intern from the other day.
- Yes, that's right.
- I'm sure you are very nice young man,
but this is a home, I'll ask you
to make an appointment in my office.
I'm Richard Parker's son.
Peter?
I'm afraid I can't help you much
Peter, I don't know why they left,
or where they were going.
- Good reflexes.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- I read your book.
It's something. So you really think
it's possible, cross-species genetics?
Yes of course, but for years your father
and I were mocked for our theories,
not just in the community
at large, but Oscorp as well.
They called us mad scientists.
And then your father bred the
spiders and everything changed.
The results were beyond
encouraging, they were spectacular.
We were gonna change lives of millions.
Including my own, then it was over.
He was gone.
Took his research with him.
And I knew, without him I...
I...
I was angry.
So I stayed away from you and your
family, and for that I'm truly sorry.
Say...
Say it worked, say you got it to work.
How much would the
foreign species take over?
What could the side effects be?
It's hard to say, considering
no subject survived.
- The problem was always...
- Decay Rate Algorithm?
- Right.
- Right.
- Can I?
- Of course.
Extraordinary. How did
you come up with this?
Peter, how would you feel about coming to
see me at the Tower one day after school?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Come on Reggie, run it buddy!
Rejected!
- You did that on purpose, Flash!
- No, but I should have.
You better watch your back.
Alright.
Give it up Parker!
One sec.
Why don't you take it from me?
- Go ahead Flash, take it man.
- Go ahead, take it.
Just take it.
Alright, how about this?
How about that?
- Come on Flash!
- Stop playing man.
- Take it from him!
- Come on Flash, take it.
- Do it Flash, stop playing!
- Yo Flash, come on!
Alright, bring it!
Come on Parker! Come on!
They're not gonna make us pay
for the backboard, you know that?
I don't care about the backboard.
- Was that true?
- What?
What I heard in there just now.
Did you humiliate that boy?
Yeah, I did.
But this guy deserved it.
- Did he?
- Yeah.
Is he the kid that hit you?
- Is he?
- Yeah, but...
So all this was about getting even?
If so, I guess you must feel pretty
good about yourself now, right?
Am I right or wrong?
Yeah, I thought so.
Well, thanks to this
little escapade of yours,
I had to change shifts
at work, so you have to
pick up aunt May tonight
at 9 o'clock, understood?
Is that understood? OK, good.
She looks familiar.
She's the girl on your computer.
He's got you on his computer.
I'm his probation officer.
Don't forget aunt May.
OK.
He's a character, that's my uncle.
He's a pathological liar and he
thought you were someone else.
Oh man, you don't have
me on your computer?
I took a photo of the debate team,
you're in the debate team so...
- Right.
- So, he must have seen it.
- I was touching up stuff.
- You were "touching up stuff"?
I'm not gonna answer that.
- Did you get expelled?
- No, I didn't get expelled,
I got community service.
So, you want to... I don't know...
- Want to what?
- I don't know, just...
I don't know, we could...
Or we could do something else, or we
could... If you don't... We could...
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Yeah, either one.
- Really?
- Sure.
Alright, good, sounds good.
I can't right now, I'm
so busy right now.
Me too.
- But maybe...
- Yeah, just, you know...
- Some other...
- Time, alright.
OK. Alright.
We have protein structurer,
rDNA chromatography,
transgenics testing, that's x-ray video.
That's the only one on the planet.
- We have...
- I remember that.
- I've seen that before.
- The GANALI device.
I remember a picture of
that in my dad's office.
The idea was so simple, load
it with an antigen, make reactive cloud
which can be dispersed over a
neighbourhood, even an entire city.
Theoretically, you could cure a polio
in an afternoon.
It's incredible.
Well, others disagreed. What if the
device were loaded with a toxin,
what if you wanted to opt-out, you
can't run away from a cloud after all.
So here it lies, covered in dust.
What you see here is a
computer model of the lizard.
Many of these wonderful creatures
have so brilliantly adapted,
they can regenerate
entire limbs at will.
You can imagine my envy.
We're trying to harness this capability and
transfer it into our host subject, Freddie,
the three legged mouse.
Enter the algorithm now.
Do you need to take that?
System ready for gene incersion.
Check.
What are we trying to do?
- Free up the proteins.
- Create the immuno response.
Beginning trials, pending...
Failed, subject deceased.
Pending... Failed.
Subject deceased. Pending...
Input algorithm accepted.
Regrowth complete, vitals
normal, blood pressure normal.
Regeneration successful.
Extraordinary.
Thank you.
Meet Fred and Vilma,
our three legged mice.
Hey buddy, I got you.
OK, careful, don't want
to sting you by mistake.
Human trials aren't until next week.
There.
Hey, I thought you...
Didn't you forget something?
Don't answer that, but I'm
glad to know it's working.
You owe your aunt an apology, big time!
Be a man, get in there and apologize.
I'm sorry aunt May, I got...
- Honestly, you don't have to
apologize to me...
- Hell he doesn't.
- Ben...
- I'm sorry uncle Ben, I got distracted...
- You got distracted?
Your aunt, my wife, had to walk 12
blocks alone in the middle of the night,
and then wait in a deserted subway
station because you got distracted.
Ben, sweetheart, honestly, I am
completely capable of walking home...
- You will not defend this boy!
- I'm not defeneding...
- You are defending him! Listen to me son!
- Yeah, go ahead.
You're a lot like your father.
You really are Peter,
and that's a good thing. But
your father lived by a philosophy,
a principle really. He believed
that if you could do good things
for other people you had a moral
obligation to do those things.
That's what's at stake here,
not choice, responsibility.
That is nice, that's great.
It's all well and good, so where is he?
- What?
- Where is he? Where's my dad?
He didn't think it was his responsibility
to be here and tell me this himself?
- Oh come on, how dare you?
- How dare I? How dare you?!
Where are you going? Peter
come back here, please!
Ben leave him alone for a
little while, he'll be alright.
Peter?!
Peter?!
Peter?!
That's 2.07$.
- It's 2.07$.
- Yeah, I know.
You're holding up the line.
No, you can leave a penny,
you can't take a penny.
What? - You can leave a penny anytime,
you have to spend 10$ to take a penny.
Store policy. You gonna pay?
You're holding up my line.
I don't have 2 cents.
You can't afford your milk,
just step aside.
What, daddy didn't give
you enough milk money today?
- We're talking about two cents.
- Just step aside, kid.
Really?!
Not cool, man.
Hey man, stop!
Somebody stop that guy!
- Hey kid, little help?
- Not my policy.
Somebody, stop that dude!
Hey stop!
Somebody, stop that dude!
Oh God, help me... Uncle Ben?!
Call an ambulance!
Someone, call an ambulance!
Uncle Ben, uncle Ben...
Oh God, oh my God...
Oh God...
We gave a description to the sketch
artist, I need you to take a look.
No, I don't know him.
I didn't expect you would ma'am.
Homicide detectives are on it,
- we'll see what they turn up.
- OK.
- Can I have that?
- Sure.
There's one other thing, he has
a star tattooed on his left hand.
Peter, I know things have
been difficult lately,
and I'm sorry about that.
I think I know what you're feeling.
Hey Parker.
- Not today Flash.
- Come on man, I just want to talk.
Feels better, right?
Your uncle died, I'm sorry.
- I get it, I'm sorry.
- OK.
Peter...
Stay away from here, you understand me?!
Stay away from Joe, you understand?!
You like beating on girls?
Like beating on old men?
Hey pal, just keep on walking,
you're in the wrong place buddy.
When was the last time
you were in Queens?
- I asked you a question man.
- Vickie, no! - Is that the gun?
You gonna kill me too?
Stop it!
This guy is crazy!
There he is!
He has a star tattooed
on his left hand.
Oh yeah? Come on!
I know what you look like! You hear me?!
I've seen your face!
Attention all units, in the
confines of precinct 13.
Receiving a 10-30 on west
Assailant is Caucasian male,
mid 30's, 170-180 pounds.
Shoulder length blond hair, last seen on
foot heading east bound on 19th street.
- You got a description?
- Well no, he wears a mask.
A mask?
Yeah, and most of
his victims are suspects.
Some of them with serious rap sheets,
they're calling him a vigilante.
OK, he's not a vigilante, he's an...
Help me, somebody! Arrest
me! Please get me out of here!
Hey look!
Spandex, spandex...
Everything spandex.
Extraordinary velocity vector is a
function of both mass and acceleration.
Oh come on, you know
better than anyone that the
weight above any pendulum
has no effect on sling state.
It doesn't effect frequency, but
it's totally a factor in momentum.
Hey aunt May. Yeah,
eggs? Organic, got it.
You know, in the future,
if you're gonna steal cars,
don't dress like a car thief man.
What are you? You a cop?
Really? You seriously think I'm a cop?
Cop in a skin tight red and blue suit?
You're, you're...
You've got a mind of a true scholar sir.
I was going more for one
of the guys who do the
Good thinking, good thinking, use
the window, get out the window.
There you go, you got it.
Crutch!
- Just let me go.
- Is that a knife?
- OK? Yes it's a real knife.
- My weakness, it's small knives.
- Just let me go.
- Anything but knives!
- Oh, it so simple.
- What the hell is this?
Webbing that I developed myself, I don't
think you really want to know about it.
Come on, let me go!
Get off man...
Come on, let me go! Stop it!
- That isn't funny!
- It is kinda funny man.
- Help!
- Shh.
This could have gone a
lot worse, now hold still.
Boys in blue are here!
Yo I got him!
- Freeze! You in the tights, don't move!
- He's not going anywhere.
- Serious?!
- Who are you?!
No one seems to grasp
the concept of the mask.
Freeze!
I just did 80% of your job!
That's how you repay me?!
Alright, that was fun!
Bus!
What're you doin'?!
Hey watch out, I'm swinging here!
I'm swinging here!
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, you know.
- Yes I do.
- No you don't.
- Yes I do. Where were you?
- I was out.
Did you get the eggs?
Great, 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.
You're hurt.
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!
Peter, listen to me.
Secrets have a cost,
they're not for free.
Not now, not ever.
Cross-species genetics
is finally working.
I've used lizard DNA to help
Freddie regrow that limb.
- It's a miracle.
- No, that's hard work and
promise, and it's a step
closer to the primate lab.
- But it isn't time for a little step.
- Little?
- I just mean he can't wait.
- Well, he'll have to.
- Unless he wants to be a lab rat.
- No, it's not what I'm saying.
- So what are you saying?
- You have to start human trials, now.
- No I don't and no I won't.
- Then he's going to die.
People die, even Norman Osborn.
- We are not finished.
- Human trials?
Where on earth are you gonna
find the people to volunteer?
The ward, as far as anyone's
concerned is for a winter flu shot.
I might think that veteran's
hospital is a place to start.
- You've got to be kidding me.
- I don't think I am.
It's little for shock and
indignation Curt, 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, Peter?
- I don't know what you're saying.
- You don't know, or you don't want to 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 won't.
Fine.
The formula is ours now, anyway.
Say goodbye to that arm you dreamed of.
I'm shutting it down, have your
office cleared out by the morning.
Your toys will be
taken away to, you know.
Night Freddie.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- How's it going?
- Where you headed?
- Monday, B-track.
- It's Thursday.
- It's Thursday?
- What happened to your eye?
- Your eye, it looks bruised.
- I know, I got a rash.
It's pretty bad, did
you go to the nurse?
Do you like branzino?
- Finger fish?
- I know.
If you want...
You can come to this
address at 8 o'clock tonight.
My mom is making branzino.
It's apartment 2016, I didn't write that
part down, I don't know why I didn't.
- I'll remember it.
- 2016.
Hi.
- How did you get out there?
- The fire escape.
Your doorman is intimidating.
- It's 20 stories.
- Yeah.
- This is your room.
- Yes, this is my room.
Books.
Got your mom these...
- Lovely.
- Yeah, they're beautiful, right?
They're beautiful.
- They weren't, 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.
- You have your suit in there?
- My suit?
- It's for dinner.
Are you gonna wear that? That's..
Hey hon.
- You must be Peter.
- Dad, this is Peter.
- Hey, nice to meet you sir.
- Nice to meet you.
Dinner's ready.
Hope you like branzino.
Who doesn't
Emma, it's Curt, is he there?
I'm afraid not doctor,
the car's taking
him to the veteran's
hospital in Brooklyn.
No, no, he can't Emma,
you have to stop him.
I would, but I always loose
him when he's on the bridge.
I'll make sure Dr. Ratha returns
your call as soon as possible.
Holton Avenue across the
river, I'm in a hurry.
OK, you want me to take the
tunnel or the bridge?
Bridge!
- Take the bridge.
- Alright, I'm gonna do that.
Hey man, you alright back there?
Are you trippin'?
- Just drive.
- OK.
You're having trouble there, aren't you?
The head goes in the other, Simon
help Gwen's friend with his fish.
- I don't know it.
- First time.
George, why don't you
tell us about your day?
Yeah dad, did you
catch that spider guy yet?
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.
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?
Let me illuminate you, see
the car thief was leading us
to the people who run
the entire operation.
It's been a six month long
stinger, this is called strategy,
I'm sure you're aware of the term strategy,
you've probably heard about that in school.
Obviously he didn't know you had a plan.
You seem to know an
awful lot about this case,
you know something that we don't know?
- I mean, who's side are you on here?
- I'm not on anyone's side.
I saw video on the Internet...
- Oh, you saw the video on the Internet.
- Well, then case is closed.
- No, I'm just saying
if you watched the video,
maybe he'd send you a link,
it looks like he's
really trying to help.
Sure, on the Internet he's been made out
to look like some kind of masked hero.
No, I'm not saying he's a hero,
I don't think he's a hero at all...
- What are you trying to say?
- I'm saying he's trying to help,
but it looks like he's trying to
do something maybe the police can't.
- Something the police can't?
- I don't know.
What do you think we do all day?
Just sit around, eating donuts
- with our thumbs planted firmly
up our asses? - George. - Daddy.
- Think we do that down there?
- Up your what dad?
I think he stands for
what you stand for, sir.
- Protecting innocent people from bad guys.
- I stand for law and order son,
that's what I stand for.
I wear a badge.
This guy wears a mask, like an outlaw.
He's hunting down a bunch of
criminals that all look the same,
like he's got some sort
of personal vendetta.
But he's not protecting
innocent people, Mr. Parker.
Let's get some air Peter.
- Dad, we need to talk.
- Yes we do.
Thank you for having me, I'm sorry if
I insulted you, it was not my intention.
You're welcome.
Branzino was really good.
Mrs. Stacey, thank you.
You're welcome.
- Dad.
- Yes.
That was something.
I'm sorry, I thought he was
gonna arrest me at one point.
I wouldn't have let him arrest you.
- What happened to your face?
- I'm gonna tell you something.
OK.
I've been bitten.
So have I.
OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, I gotta
tell you this one thing,
and it's about the vigilante and
the car thief, alright?
Oh, OK.
No, no, no, don't.
Forget that, I'm not gonna talk
about that, I'm gonna talk about me.
What about you?
I wish I could just...
I can't, it's hard to say.
Just say, say it.
Why, what?
What?
- You're Spiderman...
- Shut up now.
Gwen?!
Gwen?
Your father wants you to
come inside, right away.
OK.
- OK?
- Yeah.
- Gwen...
- I'm coming.
I'm in trouble.
Can you please go and find
out what's going on, Alfred?
Excellent.
Incoming!
Somebody, help!
Help me, my kid is trapped!
I want my dad! Dad!
Hey buddy, it's OK.
- Get away!
- It's alright.
- Help!
- Hey, look.
Just a normal guy, right?
Wanna hold on to this?
Hold on to my mask.
- What's your name? Jack?
- Yes.
Let's get you out of here.
Stay very still.
- Alright.
- I got you.
OK, now I'm gonna undo the belt.
You're gonna hold on
to that seat, on three.
OK, one, two, three.
See how easy that was?
You did a great job.
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!
OK, now, climb! Come on Jack!
Do me a favor, a little faster, OK bud?
You're doing great
buddy, you're doing great!
That's it, keep coming, keep coming.
No!
Oh Jack, thank God.
You OK?
My son...My son...
Who are you?
Spiderman.
Peter.
Does this scare you?
Who are you gonna tell?
No, no.
What did that thing on
the bridge look like?
- Real big, too big to be human.
- You got to lay low.
- No, I 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 its.
I really liked kissing you.
And you're an amazing kisser.
Well, you know, it was good for me too.
Yeah?
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 you don't, most reptiles
are at the top of their respected
food chain, kings of their domain.
They got to have vulnerabilities, right?
Why the sudden interest
in the cold blooded?
Just asking a question,
I got school stuff,
biology profiles to do.
So because of the cold blood would they
react to sudden changes in temperature?
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?
It's not yet classified.
But it can be aggressive, if threatened.
Doc, are you alright?
Never been better Peter,
never been better.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm afraid
I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
I have a new project I'm
working on, I need to be alone.
Don't worry Mr. Parker, I'll be back.
Wonderful things are coming.
Wonderful things.
Fred.
Mr. mayor, I can assure you if
there was a giant dinosaur running
around the streets of Manhattan
you would be the first to know.
So tell your son he can rest easy, alright?
Yeah, you and me both, sir.
OK, bye bye.
Mr. Parker, why are you not in school?
- Got a free track.
- Well I do not have a free track,
so make your point quickly.
There may not be a dinosaur
running around Manhattan,
but there is something more
dangerous and I know who it is.
- You know who it is?
- Dr. Curtis Connors.
Of Oscorp?!
That's right.
Dr. Curtis Connors,
who's also my daughter's mentor,
- is that who you're talking about?
- That's the one.
Recently Dr. Connors gave Gwen
a glowing college recommendation,
it was beautiful, when I read it I cried.
But you would have me believe
that he, in his spare time, is running
around dressed up like a giant dinosaur?
Not dressing up as a dinosaur, he has
transformed himself into a giant lizard.
Let me ask you a question, do I
look like the mayor of Tokio to you?
I'm telling you the
absolute truth, this man has
worked for his whole life
on cross-species genetics,
he lost one arm and has
been trying to grow it back,
but there is something unbalanced by the
equation and he has turned into a full lizard.
He's using lizard DNA, he is dangerous and
he's planning something horrific, I know.
OK, alright, I get it.
Here's what we're gonna do, you're gonna go
back to meeting up with citizens of Tokio,
and I'm gonna go back to protecting the
citizens of this fine, fair city of ours.
Sergeant Butler, would you 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.
- Please, listen to me!
- Let's go!
- Jimmy...
- Hmm?
Give me everything we have on
Dr. Curtis Connors, OK? Right away.
Subject: Dr. Curtis Connors, own
temperature 89.7, steady for 48 hours.
Blood panels reveal lymphocyte and monochyte
readings consistent with subject's past.
Clutching rate vastly
improved, marked enhancement
in muscle response,
strength, 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 repress
regenerative relapse,
dosage has been increased to 200 mg.
You stopped me once...
You won't stop me again.
I'm getting stronger every day!
Oh, that sucked.
Peter Parker?
Come in.
Maybe...you should, consider
coming in through the lobby.
Also, my father is under the impression
that you require psychiatric help.
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 cocoa.
No dad, I do not want cocoa.
Honestly, I'm 17 years old.
OK, I just thought I remembered
somebody saying last week that her
- fantasy was to live in a chocolate house.
- Well that's impractical.
And fattening.
Chocolate house?
- Sorry dad.
- It's good.
I can't have cocoa
right now because I'm...
Doing this... I have to have...
I have cramps.
I feel kind of pukey and just sort
of, like emotional, I keep crying...
It's brutal.
- You don't want to know,
trust me, it's bad. - Got it.
- Thanks daddy.
- Alright.
- Easy bugboy.
- What did you call me?
- No.
- It's OK.
- 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'd put a badge on his chest,
and strapped a gun to his hip.
And every day, for as
long as I can remember,
I havent known if he was
going to make it home.
I got you, OK?
I gotta stop him, though.
I have to, cos I created him.
What do you mean?
I gave him an equation.
I made all of this possible.
Something my father's
been working on, you know?
Secretly, now I realise
why he kept it a secret.
Why this is my responsibility.
I have to fix it.
Let's get out of here.
Let's get out of here,
just for a minute, can we?
- No. - Yeah.
- No. - Yes. Yes.
- No.
- Yes.
If my parents
see me leaving I'm dead.
Your parents are not
gonna see you leaving.
Peter Parker... Spiderman?
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 are not gonna 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 sure 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.
Alright, so you don't want to talk?
There you go.
Don't... Make me...
Have to... Hurt you!
Hey.
Where are you?
I'm fine, I'm OK.
I'm down in the sewer, I'm tracking him,
I gotta stop him before anyone gets hurt.
But we need an antidote,
do you know how to run a serum?
Yeah, I do it for
Connors all the time.
OK, OK, listen.
I need you to go to Oscorp,
I need you to access
the cross-species
file, it's a blue serum
file 12389.
OK, 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.
- Stacy!
- What?!
We've got a confirmed sighting sir!
The lizard is heading
toward Canal Street station.
- What about Spiderman?
- He was inside the high school.
I want that Spiderman off the street!
The lizard creature has
released a biological agent!
All efforts of stopping him have failed, he
is now proceeding north on 7th Avenue, over.
- Hey, where are you?
- I'm at Oscorp.
- You have to get out of there right now, OK?
- The antidote is cooking.
No, no, no, Connors is on the way.
He's coming to you right now,
he needs the disbursement device.
- He's gonna infect the whole city...
- There's 8 minutes left.
You're gonna wait there for 8 minutes after
what I just told you? People are gonna die!
You leave right now!
Listen, that is an order, OK?!
I'm gonna get everybody out.
Gwen! You mother
hover, are you serious?!
He's heading south!
Stand down now or we will open fire!
You are surrounded,
there is no escape!
Clear!
Clear up!
All clear here, sir!
Freeze!
Down on the ground!
Put your hands behind your head! Now!
Parker?
It's headed to Oscorp, and your
daughter is there right now!
You got to let me go.
Hold your fire!
Paul, if I didn't see
it I wouldn't believe it.
I won't venture to say
exactly what it is that's
crawling up the both
sides of the Oscorp Tower,
but clearly it is not human
and it is very, very strong.
Time remaining: 1 minute.
Antidote complete.
Oh man...
We are now 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.
Spiderman appears to be
heading toward Oscorp.
He looks injured and it is really
not clear if he's gonna make it.
This guy saved my boy on the bridge.
They're clearing us out, something
bad is going down in mid town.
Are you still friends with Mathews, that
crane operator down at the 6th avenue?
- Yeah.
- Get him on the phone for me.
The cops are evacuating
everybody, who the hell cares?
Get him on the phone for me!
Hey Charlie, get me
Enriquez from 54th street!
Angelo get your mug over here.
Walsky, you're getting some overtime!
All tower cranes on 6th, swing
your jib arms over the avenue.
Boom angles at 90 degrees. Spiderman
needs those big boys high and lined up.
Let's give him a
clear approach, over.
Dad, I have to get this to Spiderman.
- Get in the car, let's go.
- No, we can stop the lizard.
- You don't understand!
- 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 OK.
Initializing GANALI device.
Detonation in T minus 2 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 45 seconds.
Detonation in T minus 10 seconds.
9, 8, 7...
6, 5, 4...
3, 2, 1
The captain.
Captain!
- The lizard...
- It's alright, we stopped him.
Let's get you out of here.
Look at me, stay with me.
Help is on the way, OK?
You need to...you need to be gone,
when they get here, OK?
- 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 people closest to you.
So I want you to
promise me something, OK?
Leave Gwen out of it.
Promise me that.
You promise me.
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 counter
acted the bio toxins.
Residents of lower
Manhattan can rest peacefully,
knowing that the alleged
mastermind of this terror plot,
Dr. Curtis Connors is behind bars.
Sweetheart, it's OK.
It's alright.
Rough night.
It's gonna be alright.
Where have you been?
My father died.
There was a funeral.
They shot rifles and made speeches.
Two of my teachers showed up.
Flash showed up.
Everyone was there but you.
I can't do it.
- I'm sorry, I can't...
- 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?
- I can't.
- Why?
I'm just no good for her.
Peter Parker, if there's
one thing you are, it's good.
If 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 the road,
and 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.
- Hello Parker.
- Hey, how's it going?
You coming along man?
That's a cool shirt.
Yeah, dude, dude's crazy.
But chicks dig him.
I had a professor once who liked to
tell his students that there were only
ten 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.
Well, at least we can
always count on you.
Sorry Miss Ritter, it won't
happen again, I promise.
Don't make promises you
can't keep, Mr. Parker.
But those are the best kind.
OK class, open your books,
let's begin on page 1.
Hello doctor.
- Did you tell the boy?
- Tell him what?
Did you tell the boy the
truth about his father?
- No.
- That's very good.
We will let him be for now.
You should leave him alone!
Ready or not, here I come.
Dad?
Dad?!
You're gonna stay with aunt May
and uncle Ben for little while.
I want to go with you.
Doesn't like crust on his sandwiches.
And he likes to sleep with
a little light on at night.
Come on.
Dad...
Be good.
- Sorry.
- Morning Flash.
Good morning Parker.
Hey, it's Peter, right?
- I really like your photos.
- Oh, thanks.
Hey listen, are you busy Friday night?
Cool, can you take pictures
of my boyfriend's car?
I just, really wanted to put
him a good one for his birthday.
That's really nice of you,
that's such a nice thought.
- I'm gonna get the old, old schedule.
- OK.
- Parker!
- Yes sir?
You want to keep that skateboard?
- Yeah.
- Keep it off the ground, wheels up!
- Like that?
- That's it!
OK!
Eat your vegetables Gordon, come on!
Hey Parker, come on,
get a picture of this!
Put him down man.
Don't eat it, don't eat that.
- Take a picture, Parker.
- Put him down Flash.
- Take a picture.
- Put him down, Eugene!
Come on! Get up Parker!
Get up! Come on!
- I'm still not taking the picture.
- Stay down Parker!
- Who wants one more?!
- Flash!
Flash, are we still on
for after school today?
My house, 3:30? I hope
you've been doing your homework
last time I was very disappointed in you.
Flash, how about we go
to class? How about it?
Whatever.
I thought that was great,
what you did out there.
It was stupid, but it was great.
You should probably go to the
nurse, you might have a concussion.
- What's your name?
- You don't know my name?
I know your name.
I just want to know
if you know your name.
Peter.
- Parker, Peter Parker.
- OK.
- I'd still go to the nurse, though.
- You're Gwen, right?
Gwen Stacy.
I'm making spaghetti
and meat balls tonight.
You're serious? Spaghetti...
Since when don't you like
spaghetti and meat balls, huh?
Oh my God, what happened to your face?
I'm alright, I fell, skating.
Ben Parker, don't you even think about
leaving that filthy box in my kitchen.
- These are my bowling trophies.
- Oh, then by all means,
please, leave that
filthy box in my kitchen.
- What happened to you?
- He fell.
Why you kids ride those
things I'll never know.
Because it's stupid and dangerous,
remember when we were
stupid and dangerous?
- No.
- Trust me, we were.
- Good to know. Hey, where's the flood?
- Follow me, I'll show you.
- You serious?
- Yes!
I think it's the condenser tray.
No, too much water for the condenser tray
or the heat exchange tubings,
this is gotta be the filling.
That's the only thing
that makes any sense.
- Can you fix it?
- No, not tonight.
- I'll go by the hardware store tomorrow.
- Good deal,
meanwhile put this on your face.
How's the other guy look?
Come on, I know a right
cross when I see one.
Yes or no, do I have to
call somebody's father?
No, no.
I wouldn't tell your aunt May.
Pity the poor kid who'd
have to suffer her wrath.
Hey, before you come up, see if
there's anything else worth saving.
Yeah.
- Excuse me?
- What?
Can I help you?
I don't know, I'm here
to see Dr. Connors.
You'll find yourself to the left.
You are here for the internship?
Yeah. Yeah.
OK, you'll find your badge to the left.
- Are you having trouble finding yourself?
- No, I got it.
OK, Mr. Gueverra.
- Gracias.
- De nada.
Welcome to Oscorp.
Born from the mind of our
founder, Norman Osborn,
the Oscorp Tower has its
Our scientific minds are
pushing the boundaries
of defense, biomedical and
chemical technologies.
The future lies within.
Welcome to Oscorp, my name is Gwen
Stacy, I'm a senior at Midtown Science,
and I'm also head intern to Dr. Connors,
so I'll be with you for
the duration of your visit.
Where I go, you go,
that's the basic rule.
If you remember that all will be fine,
and if you forget that then...
Tell them Rodrigo Gueverra is down here!
Please, just tell them
Rodrigo Gueverra is down here!
I guess I don't need to tell you
what happens if you forget that.
Shall we?
Come around this way.
- Good afternoon Gwen.
- Dr. Connors.
Welcome, my name is Dr. Curtis Connors.
And yes, in case you're
wondering, I'm a southpaw.
I'm not a cripple, I'm
a scientist and I'm the
world's foremost
authority on Herpetology,
that's reptiles for those
of you that don't know.
But like the Parkinson's patient who watches
on in horror as her body slowly betrays her,
or the man with Macular Degenerations,
whose eyes grow dimmer each day,
I long to fix myself, I want to
create a world without weakness.
Anyone cares to venture
a guess just how? Yes?
Stem cells?
Promising, but the solution
I'm thinking of is more, radical.
- No one?
- 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 can somehow give this ability to the
woman you're talking about, that's that...
She's curing herself.
You just have to look
pass the gills on her neck.
And you are?
He's one of the Midtown Science's
best and brightest.
Really?
- He's second in his class.
- Oh.
- Second?
- Yeah.
- You sure about that?
- I'm pretty sure.
I'm afraid duty calls, I'll leave you
in more than capable hands of miss Stacy.
Nice meeting you all.
If you'd like to gather round.
Welcome to Oscorp's Tree of Life.
Our planet's tree of life is a mess.
At Oscorp's cross-species division...
Hi.
What are you doing Rodrigo?
- Oh yeah.
- What are you doing here?
I work here, I don't work here.
I was gonna say I work here,
but it seems you in fact work here, so
you know that I don't in fact work here.
- Are you following me?
- No, I'm not following you.
- I had no idea you worked here.
- Then why would you be here?
I just snuck in because I love science.
- You love science?
- I'm passionate about it.
I have to lead this tour group, so I'm
gonna ask you more about this later.
Do not get me in trouble,
stay with the group.
Alright, guys, I'm gonna take
you to the bio-reactor room now.
I'm sorry! Yo.
We received the results from
the MRNA sequences this morning,
they were...disappointing.
- So define "disappointing".
- Another dead end.
It's the Decay Rate Algorithm.
This is to be expected.
- Expected? You said you were close.
- We are close, but it's gonna take time.
He doesn't have time, Norman
Osborn is dying, Dr. Connors.
Save him.
Or we both loose our heads.
Give me your badge.
Give it to me.
Sorry.
Disgusting, now I smell like beer.
I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to do that, I'm...
- Get your hand off her.
- I'm trying to get my hand...
- Are you kidding?!
- No, I'm sorry.
- Are you freaking kidding me?!
- Get him Rooney.
- Man, I'm sorry!
- Help him, Brad!
Man, are you alright?
No man, not my board.
Please dude, no...
I'm so sorry!
Conney Island next stop.
Next stop, Coney Island.
- Hey! Hey.
- Hey.
- Sorry, I'm late, I got a...
- We were so worried.
I know, I'm sorry... Watch it!
That's a fly, Peter.
I'm so sorry I kept you guys up.
I'm insensitive, I'm
irresponsible, I'm hungry.
- Drinking?
- I don't think so.
This isn't meatloaf.
This beats all other meat loafs.
- Something is very wrong.
- Yeah.
Nobody likes your meatloaf.
I got it.
- He took the frozen macaroni and cheese.
- I noticed that.
Why didn't you tell me you
didn't like my meat loaf?
You could have said
that to me 37 years ago,
how many meat loafs have I made for you?
Peter? What are you doing up there?
- Homework.
- Be careful.
Sure.
Dr. Connors?
- You don't remember me, I...
- You're the intern from the other day.
- Yes, that's right.
- I'm sure you are very nice young man,
but this is a home, I'll ask you
to make an appointment in my office.
I'm Richard Parker's son.
Peter?
I'm afraid I can't help you much
Peter, I don't know why they left,
or where they were going.
- Good reflexes.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- I read your book.
It's something. So you really think
it's possible, cross-species genetics?
Yes of course, but for years your father
and I were mocked for our theories,
not just in the community
at large, but Oscorp as well.
They called us mad scientists.
And then your father bred the
spiders and everything changed.
The results were beyond
encouraging, they were spectacular.
We were gonna change lives of millions.
Including my own, then it was over.
He was gone.
Took his research with him.
And I knew, without him I...
I...
I was angry.
So I stayed away from you and your
family, and for that I'm truly sorry.
Say...
Say it worked, say you got it to work.
How much would the
foreign species take over?
What could the side effects be?
It's hard to say, considering
no subject survived.
- The problem was always...
- Decay Rate Algorithm?
- Right.
- Right.
- Can I?
- Of course.
Extraordinary. How did
you come up with this?
Peter, how would you feel about coming to
see me at the Tower one day after school?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Come on Reggie, run it buddy!
Rejected!
- You did that on purpose, Flash!
- No, but I should have.
You better watch your back.
Alright.
Give it up Parker!
One sec.
Why don't you take it from me?
- Go ahead Flash, take it man.
- Go ahead, take it.
Just take it.
Alright, how about this?
How about that?
- Come on Flash!
- Stop playing man.
- Take it from him!
- Come on Flash, take it.
- Do it Flash, stop playing!
- Yo Flash, come on!
Alright, bring it!
Come on Parker! Come on!
They're not gonna make us pay
for the backboard, you know that?
I don't care about the backboard.
- Was that true?
- What?
What I heard in there just now.
Did you humiliate that boy?
Yeah, I did.
But this guy deserved it.
- Did he?
- Yeah.
Is he the kid that hit you?
- Is he?
- Yeah, but...
So all this was about getting even?
If so, I guess you must feel pretty
good about yourself now, right?
Am I right or wrong?
Yeah, I thought so.
Well, thanks to this
little escapade of yours,
I had to change shifts
at work, so you have to
pick up aunt May tonight
at 9 o'clock, understood?
Is that understood? OK, good.
She looks familiar.
She's the girl on your computer.
He's got you on his computer.
I'm his probation officer.
Don't forget aunt May.
OK.
He's a character, that's my uncle.
He's a pathological liar and he
thought you were someone else.
Oh man, you don't have
me on your computer?
I took a photo of the debate team,
you're in the debate team so...
- Right.
- So, he must have seen it.
- I was touching up stuff.
- You were "touching up stuff"?
I'm not gonna answer that.
- Did you get expelled?
- No, I didn't get expelled,
I got community service.
So, you want to... I don't know...
- Want to what?
- I don't know, just...
I don't know, we could...
Or we could do something else, or we
could... If you don't... We could...
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Yeah, either one.
- Really?
- Sure.
Alright, good, sounds good.
I can't right now, I'm
so busy right now.
Me too.
- But maybe...
- Yeah, just, you know...
- Some other...
- Time, alright.
OK. Alright.
We have protein structurer,
rDNA chromatography,
transgenics testing, that's x-ray video.
That's the only one on the planet.
- We have...
- I remember that.
- I've seen that before.
- The GANALI device.
I remember a picture of
that in my dad's office.
The idea was so simple, load
it with an antigen, make reactive cloud
which can be dispersed over a
neighbourhood, even an entire city.
Theoretically, you could cure a polio
in an afternoon.
It's incredible.
Well, others disagreed. What if the
device were loaded with a toxin,
what if you wanted to opt-out, you
can't run away from a cloud after all.
So here it lies, covered in dust.
What you see here is a
computer model of the lizard.
Many of these wonderful creatures
have so brilliantly adapted,
they can regenerate
entire limbs at will.
You can imagine my envy.
We're trying to harness this capability and
transfer it into our host subject, Freddie,
the three legged mouse.
Enter the algorithm now.
Do you need to take that?
System ready for gene incersion.
Check.
What are we trying to do?
- Free up the proteins.
- Create the immuno response.
Beginning trials, pending...
Failed, subject deceased.
Pending... Failed.
Subject deceased. Pending...
Input algorithm accepted.
Regrowth complete, vitals
normal, blood pressure normal.
Regeneration successful.
Extraordinary.
Thank you.
Meet Fred and Vilma,
our three legged mice.
Hey buddy, I got you.
OK, careful, don't want
to sting you by mistake.
Human trials aren't until next week.
There.
Hey, I thought you...
Didn't you forget something?
Don't answer that, but I'm
glad to know it's working.
You owe your aunt an apology, big time!
Be a man, get in there and apologize.
I'm sorry aunt May, I got...
- Honestly, you don't have to
apologize to me...
- Hell he doesn't.
- Ben...
- I'm sorry uncle Ben, I got distracted...
- You got distracted?
Your aunt, my wife, had to walk 12
blocks alone in the middle of the night,
and then wait in a deserted subway
station because you got distracted.
Ben, sweetheart, honestly, I am
completely capable of walking home...
- You will not defend this boy!
- I'm not defeneding...
- You are defending him! Listen to me son!
- Yeah, go ahead.
You're a lot like your father.
You really are Peter,
and that's a good thing. But
your father lived by a philosophy,
a principle really. He believed
that if you could do good things
for other people you had a moral
obligation to do those things.
That's what's at stake here,
not choice, responsibility.
That is nice, that's great.
It's all well and good, so where is he?
- What?
- Where is he? Where's my dad?
He didn't think it was his responsibility
to be here and tell me this himself?
- Oh come on, how dare you?
- How dare I? How dare you?!
Where are you going? Peter
come back here, please!
Ben leave him alone for a
little while, he'll be alright.
Peter?!
Peter?!
Peter?!
That's 2.07$.
- It's 2.07$.
- Yeah, I know.
You're holding up the line.
No, you can leave a penny,
you can't take a penny.
What? - You can leave a penny anytime,
you have to spend 10$ to take a penny.
Store policy. You gonna pay?
You're holding up my line.
I don't have 2 cents.
You can't afford your milk,
just step aside.
What, daddy didn't give
you enough milk money today?
- We're talking about two cents.
- Just step aside, kid.
Really?!
Not cool, man.
Hey man, stop!
Somebody stop that guy!
- Hey kid, little help?
- Not my policy.
Somebody, stop that dude!
Hey stop!
Somebody, stop that dude!
Oh God, help me... Uncle Ben?!
Call an ambulance!
Someone, call an ambulance!
Uncle Ben, uncle Ben...
Oh God, oh my God...
Oh God...
We gave a description to the sketch
artist, I need you to take a look.
No, I don't know him.
I didn't expect you would ma'am.
Homicide detectives are on it,
- we'll see what they turn up.
- OK.
- Can I have that?
- Sure.
There's one other thing, he has
a star tattooed on his left hand.
Peter, I know things have
been difficult lately,
and I'm sorry about that.
I think I know what you're feeling.
Hey Parker.
- Not today Flash.
- Come on man, I just want to talk.
Feels better, right?
Your uncle died, I'm sorry.
- I get it, I'm sorry.
- OK.
Peter...
Stay away from here, you understand me?!
Stay away from Joe, you understand?!
You like beating on girls?
Like beating on old men?
Hey pal, just keep on walking,
you're in the wrong place buddy.
When was the last time
you were in Queens?
- I asked you a question man.
- Vickie, no! - Is that the gun?
You gonna kill me too?
Stop it!
This guy is crazy!
There he is!
He has a star tattooed
on his left hand.
Oh yeah? Come on!
I know what you look like! You hear me?!
I've seen your face!
Attention all units, in the
confines of precinct 13.
Receiving a 10-30 on west
Assailant is Caucasian male,
mid 30's, 170-180 pounds.
Shoulder length blond hair, last seen on
foot heading east bound on 19th street.
- You got a description?
- Well no, he wears a mask.
A mask?
Yeah, and most of
his victims are suspects.
Some of them with serious rap sheets,
they're calling him a vigilante.
OK, he's not a vigilante, he's an...
Help me, somebody! Arrest
me! Please get me out of here!
Hey look!
Spandex, spandex...
Everything spandex.
Extraordinary velocity vector is a
function of both mass and acceleration.
Oh come on, you know
better than anyone that the
weight above any pendulum
has no effect on sling state.
It doesn't effect frequency, but
it's totally a factor in momentum.
Hey aunt May. Yeah,
eggs? Organic, got it.
You know, in the future,
if you're gonna steal cars,
don't dress like a car thief man.
What are you? You a cop?
Really? You seriously think I'm a cop?
Cop in a skin tight red and blue suit?
You're, you're...
You've got a mind of a true scholar sir.
I was going more for one
of the guys who do the
Good thinking, good thinking, use
the window, get out the window.
There you go, you got it.
Crutch!
- Just let me go.
- Is that a knife?
- OK? Yes it's a real knife.
- My weakness, it's small knives.
- Just let me go.
- Anything but knives!
- Oh, it so simple.
- What the hell is this?
Webbing that I developed myself, I don't
think you really want to know about it.
Come on, let me go!
Get off man...
Come on, let me go! Stop it!
- That isn't funny!
- It is kinda funny man.
- Help!
- Shh.
This could have gone a
lot worse, now hold still.
Boys in blue are here!
Yo I got him!
- Freeze! You in the tights, don't move!
- He's not going anywhere.
- Serious?!
- Who are you?!
No one seems to grasp
the concept of the mask.
Freeze!
I just did 80% of your job!
That's how you repay me?!
Alright, that was fun!
Bus!
What're you doin'?!
Hey watch out, I'm swinging here!
I'm swinging here!
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, you know.
- Yes I do.
- No you don't.
- Yes I do. Where were you?
- I was out.
Did you get the eggs?
Great, 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.
You're hurt.
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!
Peter, listen to me.
Secrets have a cost,
they're not for free.
Not now, not ever.
Cross-species genetics
is finally working.
I've used lizard DNA to help
Freddie regrow that limb.
- It's a miracle.
- No, that's hard work and
promise, and it's a step
closer to the primate lab.
- But it isn't time for a little step.
- Little?
- I just mean he can't wait.
- Well, he'll have to.
- Unless he wants to be a lab rat.
- No, it's not what I'm saying.
- So what are you saying?
- You have to start human trials, now.
- No I don't and no I won't.
- Then he's going to die.
People die, even Norman Osborn.
- We are not finished.
- Human trials?
Where on earth are you gonna
find the people to volunteer?
The ward, as far as anyone's
concerned is for a winter flu shot.
I might think that veteran's
hospital is a place to start.
- You've got to be kidding me.
- I don't think I am.
It's little for shock and
indignation Curt, 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, Peter?
- I don't know what you're saying.
- You don't know, or you don't want to 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 won't.
Fine.
The formula is ours now, anyway.
Say goodbye to that arm you dreamed of.
I'm shutting it down, have your
office cleared out by the morning.
Your toys will be
taken away to, you know.
Night Freddie.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- How's it going?
- Where you headed?
- Monday, B-track.
- It's Thursday.
- It's Thursday?
- What happened to your eye?
- Your eye, it looks bruised.
- I know, I got a rash.
It's pretty bad, did
you go to the nurse?
Do you like branzino?
- Finger fish?
- I know.
If you want...
You can come to this
address at 8 o'clock tonight.
My mom is making branzino.
It's apartment 2016, I didn't write that
part down, I don't know why I didn't.
- I'll remember it.
- 2016.
Hi.
- How did you get out there?
- The fire escape.
Your doorman is intimidating.
- It's 20 stories.
- Yeah.
- This is your room.
- Yes, this is my room.
Books.
Got your mom these...
- Lovely.
- Yeah, they're beautiful, right?
They're beautiful.
- They weren't, 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.
- You have your suit in there?
- My suit?
- It's for dinner.
Are you gonna wear that? That's..
Hey hon.
- You must be Peter.
- Dad, this is Peter.
- Hey, nice to meet you sir.
- Nice to meet you.
Dinner's ready.
Hope you like branzino.
Who doesn't
Emma, it's Curt, is he there?
I'm afraid not doctor,
the car's taking
him to the veteran's
hospital in Brooklyn.
No, no, he can't Emma,
you have to stop him.
I would, but I always loose
him when he's on the bridge.
I'll make sure Dr. Ratha returns
your call as soon as possible.
Holton Avenue across the
river, I'm in a hurry.
OK, you want me to take the
tunnel or the bridge?
Bridge!
- Take the bridge.
- Alright, I'm gonna do that.
Hey man, you alright back there?
Are you trippin'?
- Just drive.
- OK.
You're having trouble there, aren't you?
The head goes in the other, Simon
help Gwen's friend with his fish.
- I don't know it.
- First time.
George, why don't you
tell us about your day?
Yeah dad, did you
catch that spider guy yet?
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.
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?
Let me illuminate you, see
the car thief was leading us
to the people who run
the entire operation.
It's been a six month long
stinger, this is called strategy,
I'm sure you're aware of the term strategy,
you've probably heard about that in school.
Obviously he didn't know you had a plan.
You seem to know an
awful lot about this case,
you know something that we don't know?
- I mean, who's side are you on here?
- I'm not on anyone's side.
I saw video on the Internet...
- Oh, you saw the video on the Internet.
- Well, then case is closed.
- No, I'm just saying
if you watched the video,
maybe he'd send you a link,
it looks like he's
really trying to help.
Sure, on the Internet he's been made out
to look like some kind of masked hero.
No, I'm not saying he's a hero,
I don't think he's a hero at all...
- What are you trying to say?
- I'm saying he's trying to help,
but it looks like he's trying to
do something maybe the police can't.
- Something the police can't?
- I don't know.
What do you think we do all day?
Just sit around, eating donuts
- with our thumbs planted firmly
up our asses? - George. - Daddy.
- Think we do that down there?
- Up your what dad?
I think he stands for
what you stand for, sir.
- Protecting innocent people from bad guys.
- I stand for law and order son,
that's what I stand for.
I wear a badge.
This guy wears a mask, like an outlaw.
He's hunting down a bunch of
criminals that all look the same,
like he's got some sort
of personal vendetta.
But he's not protecting
innocent people, Mr. Parker.
Let's get some air Peter.
- Dad, we need to talk.
- Yes we do.
Thank you for having me, I'm sorry if
I insulted you, it was not my intention.
You're welcome.
Branzino was really good.
Mrs. Stacey, thank you.
You're welcome.
- Dad.
- Yes.
That was something.
I'm sorry, I thought he was
gonna arrest me at one point.
I wouldn't have let him arrest you.
- What happened to your face?
- I'm gonna tell you something.
OK.
I've been bitten.
So have I.
OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, I gotta
tell you this one thing,
and it's about the vigilante and
the car thief, alright?
Oh, OK.
No, no, no, don't.
Forget that, I'm not gonna talk
about that, I'm gonna talk about me.
What about you?
I wish I could just...
I can't, it's hard to say.
Just say, say it.
Why, what?
What?
- You're Spiderman...
- Shut up now.
Gwen?!
Gwen?
Your father wants you to
come inside, right away.
OK.
- OK?
- Yeah.
- Gwen...
- I'm coming.
I'm in trouble.
Can you please go and find
out what's going on, Alfred?
Excellent.
Incoming!
Somebody, help!
Help me, my kid is trapped!
I want my dad! Dad!
Hey buddy, it's OK.
- Get away!
- It's alright.
- Help!
- Hey, look.
Just a normal guy, right?
Wanna hold on to this?
Hold on to my mask.
- What's your name? Jack?
- Yes.
Let's get you out of here.
Stay very still.
- Alright.
- I got you.
OK, now I'm gonna undo the belt.
You're gonna hold on
to that seat, on three.
OK, one, two, three.
See how easy that was?
You did a great job.
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!
OK, now, climb! Come on Jack!
Do me a favor, a little faster, OK bud?
You're doing great
buddy, you're doing great!
That's it, keep coming, keep coming.
No!
Oh Jack, thank God.
You OK?
My son...My son...
Who are you?
Spiderman.
Peter.
Does this scare you?
Who are you gonna tell?
No, no.
What did that thing on
the bridge look like?
- Real big, too big to be human.
- You got to lay low.
- No, I 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 its.
I really liked kissing you.
And you're an amazing kisser.
Well, you know, it was good for me too.
Yeah?
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 you don't, most reptiles
are at the top of their respected
food chain, kings of their domain.
They got to have vulnerabilities, right?
Why the sudden interest
in the cold blooded?
Just asking a question,
I got school stuff,
biology profiles to do.
So because of the cold blood would they
react to sudden changes in temperature?
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?
It's not yet classified.
But it can be aggressive, if threatened.
Doc, are you alright?
Never been better Peter,
never been better.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm afraid
I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
I have a new project I'm
working on, I need to be alone.
Don't worry Mr. Parker, I'll be back.
Wonderful things are coming.
Wonderful things.
Fred.
Mr. mayor, I can assure you if
there was a giant dinosaur running
around the streets of Manhattan
you would be the first to know.
So tell your son he can rest easy, alright?
Yeah, you and me both, sir.
OK, bye bye.
Mr. Parker, why are you not in school?
- Got a free track.
- Well I do not have a free track,
so make your point quickly.
There may not be a dinosaur
running around Manhattan,
but there is something more
dangerous and I know who it is.
- You know who it is?
- Dr. Curtis Connors.
Of Oscorp?!
That's right.
Dr. Curtis Connors,
who's also my daughter's mentor,
- is that who you're talking about?
- That's the one.
Recently Dr. Connors gave Gwen
a glowing college recommendation,
it was beautiful, when I read it I cried.
But you would have me believe
that he, in his spare time, is running
around dressed up like a giant dinosaur?
Not dressing up as a dinosaur, he has
transformed himself into a giant lizard.
Let me ask you a question, do I
look like the mayor of Tokio to you?
I'm telling you the
absolute truth, this man has
worked for his whole life
on cross-species genetics,
he lost one arm and has
been trying to grow it back,
but there is something unbalanced by the
equation and he has turned into a full lizard.
He's using lizard DNA, he is dangerous and
he's planning something horrific, I know.
OK, alright, I get it.
Here's what we're gonna do, you're gonna go
back to meeting up with citizens of Tokio,
and I'm gonna go back to protecting the
citizens of this fine, fair city of ours.
Sergeant Butler, would you 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.
- Please, listen to me!
- Let's go!
- Jimmy...
- Hmm?
Give me everything we have on
Dr. Curtis Connors, OK? Right away.
Subject: Dr. Curtis Connors, own
temperature 89.7, steady for 48 hours.
Blood panels reveal lymphocyte and monochyte
readings consistent with subject's past.
Clutching rate vastly
improved, marked enhancement
in muscle response,
strength, 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 repress
regenerative relapse,
dosage has been increased to 200 mg.
You stopped me once...
You won't stop me again.
I'm getting stronger every day!
Oh, that sucked.
Peter Parker?
Come in.
Maybe...you should, consider
coming in through the lobby.
Also, my father is under the impression
that you require psychiatric help.
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 cocoa.
No dad, I do not want cocoa.
Honestly, I'm 17 years old.
OK, I just thought I remembered
somebody saying last week that her
- fantasy was to live in a chocolate house.
- Well that's impractical.
And fattening.
Chocolate house?
- Sorry dad.
- It's good.
I can't have cocoa
right now because I'm...
Doing this... I have to have...
I have cramps.
I feel kind of pukey and just sort
of, like emotional, I keep crying...
It's brutal.
- You don't want to know,
trust me, it's bad. - Got it.
- Thanks daddy.
- Alright.
- Easy bugboy.
- What did you call me?
- No.
- It's OK.
- 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'd put a badge on his chest,
and strapped a gun to his hip.
And every day, for as
long as I can remember,
I havent known if he was
going to make it home.
I got you, OK?
I gotta stop him, though.
I have to, cos I created him.
What do you mean?
I gave him an equation.
I made all of this possible.
Something my father's
been working on, you know?
Secretly, now I realise
why he kept it a secret.
Why this is my responsibility.
I have to fix it.
Let's get out of here.
Let's get out of here,
just for a minute, can we?
- No. - Yeah.
- No. - Yes. Yes.
- No.
- Yes.
If my parents
see me leaving I'm dead.
Your parents are not
gonna see you leaving.
Peter Parker... Spiderman?
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 are not gonna 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 sure 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.
Alright, so you don't want to talk?
There you go.
Don't... Make me...
Have to... Hurt you!
Hey.
Where are you?
I'm fine, I'm OK.
I'm down in the sewer, I'm tracking him,
I gotta stop him before anyone gets hurt.
But we need an antidote,
do you know how to run a serum?
Yeah, I do it for
Connors all the time.
OK, OK, listen.
I need you to go to Oscorp,
I need you to access
the cross-species
file, it's a blue serum
file 12389.
OK, 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.
- Stacy!
- What?!
We've got a confirmed sighting sir!
The lizard is heading
toward Canal Street station.
- What about Spiderman?
- He was inside the high school.
I want that Spiderman off the street!
The lizard creature has
released a biological agent!
All efforts of stopping him have failed, he
is now proceeding north on 7th Avenue, over.
- Hey, where are you?
- I'm at Oscorp.
- You have to get out of there right now, OK?
- The antidote is cooking.
No, no, no, Connors is on the way.
He's coming to you right now,
he needs the disbursement device.
- He's gonna infect the whole city...
- There's 8 minutes left.
You're gonna wait there for 8 minutes after
what I just told you? People are gonna die!
You leave right now!
Listen, that is an order, OK?!
I'm gonna get everybody out.
Gwen! You mother
hover, are you serious?!
He's heading south!
Stand down now or we will open fire!
You are surrounded,
there is no escape!
Clear!
Clear up!
All clear here, sir!
Freeze!
Down on the ground!
Put your hands behind your head! Now!
Parker?
It's headed to Oscorp, and your
daughter is there right now!
You got to let me go.
Hold your fire!
Paul, if I didn't see
it I wouldn't believe it.
I won't venture to say
exactly what it is that's
crawling up the both
sides of the Oscorp Tower,
but clearly it is not human
and it is very, very strong.
Time remaining: 1 minute.
Antidote complete.
Oh man...
We are now 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.
Spiderman appears to be
heading toward Oscorp.
He looks injured and it is really
not clear if he's gonna make it.
This guy saved my boy on the bridge.
They're clearing us out, something
bad is going down in mid town.
Are you still friends with Mathews, that
crane operator down at the 6th avenue?
- Yeah.
- Get him on the phone for me.
The cops are evacuating
everybody, who the hell cares?
Get him on the phone for me!
Hey Charlie, get me
Enriquez from 54th street!
Angelo get your mug over here.
Walsky, you're getting some overtime!
All tower cranes on 6th, swing
your jib arms over the avenue.
Boom angles at 90 degrees. Spiderman
needs those big boys high and lined up.
Let's give him a
clear approach, over.
Dad, I have to get this to Spiderman.
- Get in the car, let's go.
- No, we can stop the lizard.
- You don't understand!
- 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 OK.
Initializing GANALI device.
Detonation in T minus 2 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!

The captain.
Captain!
- The lizard...
- It's alright, we stopped him.
Let's get you out of here.
Look at me, stay with me.
Help is on the way, OK?
You need to...you need to be gone,
when they get here, OK?
- 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 people closest to you.
So I want you to
promise me something, OK?
Leave Gwen out of it.
Promise me that.
You promise me.
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 counter
acted the bio toxins.
Residents of lower
Manhattan can rest peacefully,
knowing that the alleged
mastermind of this terror plot,
Dr. Curtis Connors is behind bars.
Sweetheart, it's OK.
It's alright.
Rough night.
It's gonna be alright.
Where have you been?
My father died.
There was a funeral.
They shot rifles and made speeches.
Two of my teachers showed up.
Flash showed up.
Everyone was there but you.
I can't do it.
- I'm sorry, I can't...
- 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?
- I can't.
- Why?
I'm just no good for her.
Peter Parker, if there's
one thing you are, it's good.
If 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 the road,
and 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.
- Hello Parker.
- Hey, how's it going?
You coming along man?
That's a cool shirt.
Yeah, dude, dude's crazy.
But chicks dig him.
I had a professor once who liked to
tell his students that there were only
ten 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.
Well, at least we can
always count on you.
Sorry Miss Ritter, it won't
happen again, I promise.
Don't make promises you
can't keep, Mr. Parker.
But those are the best kind.
OK class, open your books,
let's begin on page 1.
Hello doctor.
- Did you tell the boy?
- Tell him what?
Did you tell the boy the
truth about his father?
- No.
- That's very good.
We will let him be for now.
You should leave him alone!
