[lively music]

Peter, don't forget to water all the plants.

Aunt May, relax.

You're just going to be staying around the block.

I know, dear.

But I wanna give Anna Watson all my attention.

She's been devastated since Mary Jane's been gone.

[thinking] She's not the only one.

Shall I ring the bell?

No. Anna gave me the key.

Take care while I'm gone.

Dear Aunt May.

She's never given up her faith

in the value of helping others.

I wish I could feel the same.

But after what happened to Mary Jane,

I'm angry at the world.

Question is, can I be this angry

and still live up to my responsibilities as Spider-Man?

I got your message.

What'd you wanna see me about Felicia?

Mother and I are preparing

our budget for next year's youth science program.

We need your input.

[warning beeping]

[alarm sounding]

There's a break-in in the east lab

near the warehouse storing area.

[Peter, thinking] I don't believe it.

It's Sergei Kravinoff.

What's he doing here?

[guards grunting]

[groaning]

Who is that wild man?

Stay here while I see if I can help!

Parker, come back!

[Russian accent] This does not concern any of you!

I don't know about that.

I'm a caring kinda guy.

Spider-Man.

You are the last person I wanted to see.

[dramatic music]

[groaning]

I forgot. This bolas wire is stronger than my webbing!

-Run! -Look out!

Aah! Oh!

[Felicia] Mother!

Are you all right?

Yes, thanks to you.

That maniac nearly killed you.

I'm going to get help.

[Spider-Man] The last time I saw Kravinoff,

he helped me as a friend.

Now he's acting more like his insane alter-ego,

Kraven the Hunter.

What's changed him?

[dramatic music]

Aaaah!

[coughing]

Hang on tight.

You okay, Spider?

Yeah, must have been some chemical in that powder.

It's making my head pound like a jungle drum.

[Black Cat] I'll give you a hand up.

Forget it. I'll be okay in a sec.

Spider, you really do

have to take better care of yourself.

[thinking] This is humiliating.

I'm saved then chided by the Black Cat.

Who does she think she is?

The superhero version of Aunt May?

[Anastasia] This lab is ruined.

What did that maniac want?

Good question. What was in this cabinet?

Why, it contained serum

that a doctor named Mariah Crawford

had been working on.

It was one originally developed by a friend of hers.

A Dr. Reeves.

[Spider-Man] Dr. Reeves?

[Anastasia] Reeves gave me the last vile of his wonder drug.

[thinking] Could this have been the serum

that turned Kravinoff into Kraven in the first place?

Is Dr. Crawford here in town?

Last I heard, she was still in Africa

fighting an outbreak of the plague.

The serum is gone.

That jungle man must have taken it.

Did Kraven use the serum again

and turn himself back into that monster?

I will not hurt lion!

So you're gonna hurt me instead?

And if he did, why?

You don't seem to understand, Spider.

I've been given this great power.

I owe it to the world to give something back.

Like you, I want to do good things with it.

Do yourself a big favor. Forget it.

My great powers have given me nothing but grief.

Quit while you still can.

If it's so bad, why don't youquit?

Lady, I've been asking myself

the same question every night since--

-[growling] -What was that?

Sounded like some kind of wild animal.

[man] Aah! No!

Someone's being attacked.

[men yelling]

Rraarr!

He's as strong as me!

Heis Kraven now.

-Kraven the Hunter! -[groans]

Last time, we met as friends.

But make no mistake.

I would sooner destroy you

than suffer your interference.

Not this time, pal.

You've taken the serum!

I want to know why!

Yaaah!

[groaning]

Is this private

or can any party animal join the hunt?

Stay back! Kraven's too dangerous!

[Kraven] Yaaah!

[groans]

Thanks. You gave me time

to untangle his little toy and use it on him.

See? We really ought to work together, Spider.

Look, I've told you before, I'm not interested.

I can't take the risk of anyone else getting hurt.

That's why I work alone.

[both groaning]

[gears grinding]

Watch it!

Cat, stay out of his way!

[yowling]

Stop!

Oh! What?!

Cat, look out!

[Spider-Man grunting]

If you ever try to stop me again,

-I promise I will destroy you! -[coughing]

[groaning]

Spider!

[grunting]

Thank goodness.

You're only stunned.

Blast!

-He got away because of you! -[meows]

What were you thinking?

You risked both our lives for this?

I couldn't let an innocent creature be destroyed.

Don't you care about anybody anymore?

That's just the problem. I don't think I do.

Wait.

I don't know why you wanna be a crime fighter.

Take my advice. In the end, you'll regret it big time.

I wish I could tell him why I wanna be a crime fighter.

It's not just for me,

but for my father as well.

I wanted something better for you.

Better than the life I had.

Daddy, this isn't your fault.

There was no way you could've stopped

the Kingpin from giving me that serum.

Maybe. But what about all the times

you needed me when you were growing up,

and I wasn't there?

Will you ever forgive me for that?

That's all in the past.

I wanna make up for all the mistakes

he made in his life.

That's what he'd want me to do.

But Spider's become so hard-hearted lately.

How can I make him understand

what a great companion a cat can be?

I should feel badly about this.

After all, Kraven did save my life once.

Now I'm trying to bring him in.

Why am I always hurting people?

Especially once this mask is on?

And I wonder how Aunt May's doing with Anna Watson.

Maybe I ought to peek in to make sure everything's okay.

Hey, who's that guy watching the house?

It's Harry Osborn.

Looks like he's taking Mary Jane's disappearance

as hard as I am.

I should talk to him.

But I have nothing to offer.

The Black Cat was right.

I feel nothing in my heart right now for others.

And that makes me a worse monster than Kraven.

[dramatic music]

-[roaring] -[grunting]

Help!

[snarling]

Help!

[growling]

-[animal snarling] -No! No!

Aaah!

That's interesting.

Uh-uh! Whoa!

Oh! Flash!

This would be much easier if you would hold still.

Debra, I never did anything like this

for any of my other dates.

Not even Felicia Hardy.

Hmm. I'll consider myself a member of an elite society

from here on in.

Yes! Claw marks.

And a hair sample.

This supports my theory

that the night stalker is some strange animal.

Phase one of my investigation is complete.

Now phase two.

Phase two?

All right, Spidey. You've faced this puzzle before.

How do you hunt for the hunter

in an asphalt jungle as big as New York?

The last time, I tracked him down

to the special jungle exhibit at the Central Park Zoo.

He's at home in that kind of environment.

-It's where he has an advantage. -[growling]

I'll start there.

I just wish I knew what he's after.

Okay, the coast is clear.

Debra, what are we doing here?

Listen, Flash, this was where that creature was spotted last.

If I can prove its existence, maybe I can get funding

for another project I've been wanting to do.

-Project? What project? -[growling]

Shh! I thought I heard something.

Wait a minute.

I just figured it out.

Figured what out?

You've been into this weirdo stuff

ever since Michael Morbius disappeared.

You think that this might lead to Morbius, don't you?

That's your project, isn't it?

You don't know what you're talking about.

[Flash] Well, you wanna find that vampire?

-Debra, are you crazy? -Look, Flash--

[growling]

-What on earth?! -[Debra screaming]

Sounds like I came to the right place.

It's gotta be Kraven!

-[roaring] -Help!

Raaarrr!

Come out of hiding, jungle man!

I know you're here!

So it is you!

Kraven.

I have already warned you

to leave me alone Spider-Man!

Oh, no. Not more jungle dust.

[gasps] Can't see straight.

Can barely move.

[grunting] I cannot risk further interference!

[roaring]

I will keep my promise and end this charade now!

-[Debra screaming] -[Flash] No, don't!

[roar]

-Back off! -[Kraven groans]

Oh! Aaaah!

[groans]

Are you all right?

There's nothing that beast can dish out

that this beauty can't handle.

Look!

-Stay back! -[birds squawking]

Why do you stalk this city?

This hunt is not my passion!

It is my tragedy!

Great! Just great!

Don't worry, Spider. I'll help you find him.

I don't need your help.

I need you to stay out of my way.

Out of my life!

[Debra] What's with him?

I don't know. He seems to be going through

some personal struggle right now.

Unfortunately, it's giving him tunnel vision.

I mean, there's more involved here

than what Spider thinks.

For instance, why did Kraven call his hunt a tragedy?

And you two. What are you doing here?

We're not doing anything that I wouldn't drop

in a hot New York minute if you needed me.

In fact, if Spider-Man doesn't wanna be your partner,

I'm willing to-- [Flash grunts]

Ahem! I have a scientific interest in the stalker.

So I tracked him down to his lair

here in the park.

Really?

Perhaps we need to talk.

Is Kraven and this ferocious stalker

one in the same?

But if so, how does he transform himself and why?

Was it a nasty aftereffect of his taking the serum?

I've gotta figure out where he'll strike next.

Now that Central Park isn't his lair any longer,

does East River Park seem like the next best location?

I couldn't see it clearly.

It was some kind of horrible monster.

It headed east out of the park.

Well, I had the right park, but I'm too late.

Kraven's on the move again.

The Williamsburg Bridge leads to Brooklyn.

Now, why would Kraven be headed there?

Of course. Prospect Park.

It has a botanical garden and zoo.

Kraven's probably picked up the animal's scent.

[sniffing]

[ringing]

-Yes? -[indistinct voice on phone]

Debra? What's wrong?

You need what?

Okay. Okay, I'll be right there.

-[spider-sense tingling] -Kraven!

-Aaaah! -[groaning]

You won't dare interfere again!

Now I'm really mad!

You got my suit wet again!

-You're not getting away. -Ohh!

Not until you tell me what your connection is to that stalker.

Are you that creature?

Me?! [laughing] No.

I am not creature!

But I did create it.

-What? -Yes!

I created it willingly,

and then it destroyed my love, Mariah.

My little Calypso exists no more.

No! I can't have lost her, too!

Why did you let that happen?

-Why?! -Spider, wait! [grunts]

-Leave me alone! -You've got to calm down.

There is something here you don't understand.

Something you must know about that creature.

All I need to know

is that it destroyed a good friend of mine.

And after I finish with this scum,

-I'm going to destroy it. -No!

Debra Whitman analyzed the hair samples in the lab.

She discovered the creature's DNA.

It's female.

-What? -Don't you get it?

When Kraven spoke of his tragedy,

he said it with passion in his voice.

With love.

That creature is probably someone that Kraven loves.

A woman.

No, it can't be.

-That's the truth, isn't it? -[Kraven straining]

No use trying to break free.

I mixed up a stronger batch of webbing just for you.

Better for you to talk, Tarzan.

Tragedy is like strong acid.

It dissolves away all but the very gold of truth.

My beloved Mariah Crawford

went to Africa to help the victims of a lethal virus.

[Mariah moaning]

I was devastated when she contracted the disease herself.

The doctors said she could not be saved.

There was only one hope.

The serum that Mariah used

to save my life when I was the Hunter.

She was still trying to perfect it,

to make it safe.

That was why we had it with us.

I did not know if I had done the right thing.

[moaning]

Her recovery was miraculous.

She seemed completely healed.

[thunder crashing]

I brought her back to New York to recuperate.

All was well at first.

But then the serum had an effect even stranger

-than the one it had on me! -[screams]

She became a worse feral creature

than I had once become.

-[Mariah screaming] -Mariah?

-[growling] -She was too strong.

I couldn't hold her!

[growling]

I only knew one thing

that could make me powerful enough to catch her.

The remaining sample of serum

that transformed me into Kraven the Hunter!

I didn't want to take it,

-but I knew it was my only hope. -[screams]

As Kraven, I could hunt her with abilities far beyond those

of an ordinary human.

I only wanted to capture her

before someone else did and cure her.

[Spider-Man] So Dr. Mariah Crawford is the hideous creature?

Yes.

You must know I would never harm my beloved Calypso.

-Calypso? -His nickname for her.

Calypso was a Greek goddess

who offered Odysseus the gift of life.

I believe you.

And I want to help you, but I don't know how.

Wait, I do.

Debra Whitman figured enough of this out

to go ask Dr. Curt Connors for help.

Connors was familiar with Crawford's work.

He used that knowledge to make this.

It's a possible antidote

based on the sample of Dr. Crawford's plasma,

which was on file at the Hardy Foundation.

It probably won't be a complete cure,

but it might reverse some of her transformation.

-Can we use it on him? -No! No.

It's tailored only to her blood cells.

[Kraven sniffing]

I have the creature's scent.

I know she is nearby.

You must set me free!

-Well? -All right, let him loose.

After all, I wouldn't wanna be accused

of being heartless.

[dramatic music]

[growling]

[shrieks]

[Kraven] Help me!

[Kraven grunting]

[roaring]

Calypso?

Kraven, my darling.

Dr. Crawford?

Spider-Man.

Is there a cure for her?

Can she be transformed

all the way back to her normal human self?

The only one who could come up

with that antidote is Dr. Mariah Crawford herself.

No! I do not want to change.

Don't you understand?

You and I, we are truly kindred spirits now.

I do understand.

We must go.

[Spider-Man] Go?

But where?

We will go where we can be free.

Perhaps it is better this way.

I vow to stay by her side

and protect her always.

[zoo animals growling and calling]

I feel like we lost this one.

At least Kraven and Mariah

still have their love for each other.

And what kind of life are they going to have?

I forgot you don't believe

in happily ever after these days.

But don't you still believe in love

and opening your heart to others?

Seems to me it's a prerequisite for you line of work.

I don't know.

Maybe I will again, someday.

[knocking]

Peter.

What are you doing here?

You still need a roommate?

Well, it is a big place.

I got to figuring,

maybe we need each other right now, old pal.
