[BUZZING] [GRUNTS]
[ROARING]
On my order Ah! Stop!
Kravinoff,
the beast is mad with fever!
It must be put down!
It can be saved. [ROARING]
We've tried
tranquilizer darts!
Its hide is too
Please, Sergei Kravinoff
needs no tranquilizers
to bring down his prey.
[SNORTING]
We'd better
hope you're right!
[GRUNTS]
[ROARING]
[SQUEALING]
Oh, no you don't,
my friend!
You need a nap, old man.

[KRAVINOFF LAUGHING]
Ah, good boy, Gulyadkin.
Sergei, my love.
You were magnificent
with that poor rhinoceros.
Do not patronize me,
Calypso.
It was, as always,
all too easy.
Then perhaps this
will brighten your mood.
Another package
from our anonymous
friend in America.
Hmm His new beast
is intriguing.
No other creature
has this combination
of speed,
agility and strength.
[WHINNIES]
I am convinced.
It is a prey worthy
of my prowess.
We will fly
to New York
to hunt
this Spider-Man!
Living on the edge
Fighting crime
Spinning webs
Swinging from
the highest ledge
He could leap
above our heads
Villains on the rise
And the city's victimized

Hey, Parker.
Flash look about done
in there? We got practice.
Cool it, King Kong.
Bio's not exactly
QB's top subject.
Yeah, does he
have a top subject?
BOTH: Football.
PETER: Wow, and with
no spider-sense.
[SIGHS] Come on, Pete,
just tell her how you feel.
Uh, Gwen, [LAUGHS]
I've been wanting to say
[LAUGHS] Hey, Rand,
look. Nerd-love.
that I'm
interning at
ESU again.
I heard.
I'm so happy for you.
I thought we could
head over together.
And maybe score
a little cross-town
bus privacy for a real talk.
Thank you, thank you,
thank you! I aced that final!
I can feel it!
And it's all because
I had the world's
best tutor, Petey!
Well, I'm just
glad I could help.
Hey. You didn't
wait for me.
I wasn't sure your grateful
pupil would detach herself in
time for you to catch the bus.
CURT: There he is!
Welcome back, Pete.
Thanks, and thanks
for the second chance.
I promise I won't
need a third.
We hope not, Peter. Pete, this is Deborah Whitman.
She's the new Eddie.
Hey, Deb, it's nice
to be working With you.
I think she
prefers Deborah.
Speaking of Eddie,
I know you two are friends.
Have you heard from him?
Yeah, I'm worried.
He was right behind me
at the Thanksgiving Parade
when that monster
Anyway, I haven't
seen him since.
Do you Do you think
Sorry.
I don't know where he is.
Believe me, I wish I did.
Curt, this research
of yours is stunning.
Kids, this is our
new senior fellow,
Dr. Miles Warren.
Miles, this isYes, Gwen Stacy.
Peter Parker.
My brother,
your biology professor,
speaks highly of you both.
Now, Curt, about your theories
on lizard DNA's mutagenic
application to
the human genome.
They mesh perfectly with my
own work running computer
simulations on mammalian DNA.
You're missing a step,
of course. The formula
must be electrolyzed
to increase potency.
But if we combine our efforts,
we could have a working,
programmable mutagen
in a matter of
That line of research
was a dead end, Miles.
Something of an
embarrassment, really.
Please, just drop it.
If you insist.
I think
I think Liz Allen
really is into me.
Gwen, too.
Gwen, Liz. Liz, Gwen.
Web-slinging 30 floors up
never made me this dizzy!
KRAVINOFF: There you are.
Such agility, such grace!
Truly, prey worthy
of Sergei Kravinoff.
Whoa!
Where'd you come from?
Mother Russia
by way of Mother Africa!
Two moms and still
so ill-behaved?
[GRUNTS]
What's the game here?
[LAUGHS] Big game!
Now, be still.
The noblest prey ends
the hunt in silent dignity.
Prey? Silent? Dignity?
You don't know me at all!
[SOFT JAZZ PLAYING]
[GASPS]
Ha! You cannot shake
Sergei Kravinoff so easily!
Hey, Spidey never
does anything easy!
Oh, man, now you've got me
talking in the third person.
Just for that
[KRAVINOFF GRUNTING]
Amazing!
No beast has ever
broken the grip
of Kravinoff.
Oh, okay, I think
I see the confusion.
Not a beast.
A Spider-Man, get it?
Always Kravinoff
tempers his skills
to give his quarry a chance.
At last, Kravinoff
can be Kravinoff
and thrill to
a true challenge.
Missed!
And missed again! [GROANS]
[GRUNTS] Okay,
point for you.
But proportionate strength
of a spider, here.
I'll snap this
thing andDon't bother.
This blow-dart is tipped
with a paralyzing poison.
It will all be over soon.
[BLOWS]
What is this?
Just a little sample
of my spectacular
spider-powers, chief.
Here's another.
[PANTING]
Okay, the thermals with the
hearts were half-price
and do not reflect
my very high macho-quotient.
[GRUNTING]
[CRASHING]
You just don't get it.
[GROANING]
You're good. Maybe at
the whole hunting thing,
you're even the best.
But when it comes to the
New York super-powered scene,
you're out of your league.
Nyet![GRUNTS]
No! This cannot be happening
to Sergei Kravinoff!
Oh, Kraven off.
[CROWD LAUGHS]
You have need of me, love?
[CAR APPROACHING]
I did not call you.And yet I am here.
No, Calypso.
Only the hunt may
restore my lost honor.
[CAR DOOR OPENS] Gulyadkin!
[ROARING]
[SNIFFING]
[HORNS HONKING]
[INAUDIBLE]
[ELECTRIC FIZZLING]
Formula electrolyzed.
.02 volts for three seconds.
Hmm! Increased
cell division!
I'm as close to adapting
Dr. Connors' mutagen
to mammalian DNA
as I can come
Without a test subject.
[SOFT GROWLING]
[ROARING]
[SNIFFING]
He has been here.
What is this place?
My laboratory.
What a magnificent
specimen.
Yours, I presume?
Gulyadkin is
no man's property.
These spiders.
They do not exist
in the natural world.
Genetically altered
to combine traits
from multiple species.
You can do that? I can.
Then you created
the Spider-Man.
Yes. I gave Spider-Man
his powers.
Powers. Yes.
That is how he beat me.
The only reason
he beat me.
Give me powers.
Spider-Man paid
handsomely for his.
[SNAPS FINGERS]
[GROWLING] Why should I pay
for what I can take?
[LAUGHS]
You'll have no idea
what I'm doing to you.
Would you really trust me
if it weren't in my
self-interest to succeed?
ANNOUNCER: Winding down
the fourth quarter
of the state championship,
Mustangs are down by five
as Woodoak runs out the clock.
CHEERLEADERS:
Say, hey, what do you say?
Midtown will come back today!
Go, Mustangs!
Defense!
PETER: Man, I love
spectator sports.
Hey, Petey! Is that
the new camera?
Yep. Paid for with the advance
from my exclusive deal
with the Bugle.
Peter! Did I hear you say
you're taking pictures
for the Bugle?
Liz, you can't want to be
in the paper that badly.
Geekitude is contagious.
[LAUGHS]
I don't mind catching
what Petey's got.
[PLAYERS GRUNTING]
ANNOUNCER: Gorillas fumble!
[GRUNTING] [WHISTLE BLOWING]
King Kong recovers!
Midtown's ball
with 30 seconds on the clock! [CHEERING]
[GRUNTING]
Thompson to Robertson.
Out of bounds at the 50!
Twelve seconds.
Rand, Rand, he's our man! Rand, Rand, he's my man!
Gold 90! Gold 90! Hut-hut!
Come on, Flash!
You can do it!
Can't believe
I just said that.
ANNOUNCER: Flash Thompson
unleashes the bomb,
and Brown catches it!
The Mustangs win state!
The Mustangs win state!
[CHEERING]
Wait! Thompson's down!
Flash!
KRAVINOFF: Here's the last
of your down payment, Doctor.
The rest comes
when I get what I need.
And if I don't, Gulyadkin
makes the final payment.
[GROWLING]
There's no need
for melodrama.
The mutagen was compounded
to your specifications.
One more jolt
[GROWLING]
And you're a new man.
I feel nothing.
Days of treatments,
and still nothing!
You dare try to fool
Kravinoff? Admit it!
You are in league
with Spider-Man.
His scent is
all over this lab.
You can smell him?
[SCREAMING]
I believe I'm owed
an apology, Kravinoff.
Call me Kraven.
Kraven the Hunter!
SPIDER-MAN: It's not
like I want bad things
to happen to Flash.
Well, not super bad things.
Well, at least not
super bad things that
make Liz forget I exist.
[GROWLING] Why stress
over Liz, anyway?
I'm into Gwen, right?
[GROWLING]
SPIDER-MAN: Hey, I know
that get-up. Kravinoff,
is that you?
[GROWLING]
You can call me
Kraven now!
I could call you
a lot of things.
What happened to you?
Same as happened to you.
Except Kraven pay
for higher class of DNA!
You paid to do
that to yourself?
Of course.
Now Kraven climb
and leap like leopard,
run fast as cheetah
and possess strength of lion!
[GLASS SHATTERS]
[GRUNTS]
Don't get any ideas.
Before, your powers
gave advantage.
But Kraven
has leveled the field,
and you will fall
like any prey!
Hate to break it
to you, Tabby,
but you're not
my first
genetic experiment
gone wrong.
Just the first that smells
like a litter box.
All I smell is fear.
[GROWLING] [GRUNTS]
[ROARS]
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Oh, perfect.
Hang on.
Gotta take this.
Liz?
LIZ: Oh, Petey,
thank goodness.
Flash is in surgery
and I'm freaking out.
Can you come
to Manhattan General?
[ROARS]
I'm kind of in
the middle of something.
Please, Petey.
I really need you.
You do? Okay.
Soon as I can.
I promise!
[ROARING]
Thanks, Petey.
Oh, Flash's parents are here.
Gotta go. Bye.
Yeah. She's gotta go.
[GRUNTS]
That's it! I've had
enough of gorillas
for one night.
This one's for Flash.
Can't believe
I just thought that.
[SNARLING]
Here, kitty, kitty.
Wish I was playing
hide and seek
with Black Cat.
I so prefer my
felines female.
[ROARING]
Yeah, the werewolf look
was passe.
But the mummy thing,
pure gold.
[SNARLING]
Now you're mine, prey.
Ah, sorry, who's the prey?
Take that, pussycat!
A lesson in humility,
courtesy of the original
and still number one
genetic misfit, me.
[DRUMS PLAYING]
[DRUMS STOP]
[SIREN WAILING]
PETER: Liz!
Petey!
Are you okay?
[SIGHS] I'm fine.
But Flash is
still in surgery.
I know you two
aren't exactly close,
but if you'd
just sit with me
Sure. As long
as it takes.
Thanks.
I'm so glad
you [GASPS]
Well, he did great. There's
every reason to be hopeful,
but we won't know how the knee
will heal for months.
He'll wake soon. [ALL SIGH]
Immediate family only.
[KRAVEN THE HUNTER MOANING]
Calypso?

Shh. The eyes
suit you, love.
The hunt is not over.
