Original subtitles

Hi, my name is Peter Carter.

You don't remember me, but I have something to tell you that's going to

sound crazy.

But it's the truth.

And I know you're going to believe me because you're very good at telling what

I'm lying.

Evie, can you check the calibration of my targeting matrix? That doesn't feel

zeroed in to me. Checking target calibration.

Hey, take five.

Standing by.

We used to know each other.

We were together.

But something bad was going to happen, and the only way to stop it was to make

everyone forget me.

First bit!

MJ, come on. Including you.

Pretend like you're not the happiest you've ever been in your entire life

right now.

I can't.

Because I'm not just Peter Parker.

I'm Spider-Man.

And sometimes, Spider-Man has to do the hard things, and if it breaks, Peter

Parker's hard.

And maybe that's my responsibility.

to live alone with the truth.

But the truth is, MJ, that I love you.

And I hope that deep down, something inside of you remembers that you love

me, too.

Suspect is 5'8", 5'10". See you, Mel. But until then, I'm just going to be

spying.

This is what happened. We painted Bob Spider-Man yesterday.

Is anybody ever at the locker room?

I don't know if they like the spectrum.

We've just been using it for so long.

Perfect.

Hey everyone, sophomore year and then it's back.

Older, wiser, flyer.

Let's go.

Whoa. What? It's on your face.

How do you know about it? I mean, you look like an assistant coach.

Is he here, Spidey?

If I drop him for you, how long will you take to hit the ground?

I don't know.

You tell me.

Let's get this on a high note, huh?

You trying to take my job, Simon?

Hey, you guys are the professionals. I'm just a volunteer.

It's a new New York.

Thanks to Spider-Man's crime rates, it's dropped to a record low.

Police and damage control give much of the credit to the Mac Heroes. Appreciate

it, Hudson.

Armed robbery at City Union Bank.

In the past six months, he has taken down every major crime ward across the

five boroughs, including the superpower ninja group that has.

He is the pride of New York City.

You know, every grown-up relies on him, and every kid wants to be.

Final semester at MIT.

Oh, my God, for graduating in a month.

He's made so many memories. Where do I begin?

Nice swimming in the Charles River with Jim and Wiley.

The infamous food fight at the Banana Lounge.

Pulling all-nighters and studs by with MJ and Nate Dow.

It feels like yesterday I was sitting on a roof with MJ dreaming about coming

here together. I still can't believe we did it.

I'm so grateful for all the friends that I've made. I couldn't imagine going to

this with anyone else.

Dad, who do you think is actually watching this? Uh, I don't know. Maybe

someone? What?

No!

Yeah,

I hear you, but can you prove it? Yeah, we're going through his financial

records and we're following his crew every night.

Do you do anything besides work?

You know what I'm saying? You do something you love. You don't work a day

in your life.

Mom, where's my calculator?

Trust me, all right?

Being married to the job never ends well.

Oh, don't worry about it. I'll be okay.

Oh, yeah?

You still getting them headaches, though?

Uh, yeah, but, um...

But I'll be fine. I don't know, man. I think your body's trying to tell you

something. Like you need to get out of that suit every once in a while.

Mom, do you know where my calculator is? I don't know, Poppy.

What you need is the real human connection.

Oh, what? We're not connecting?

Nah, dude.

I don't know your name, your face, or nothing about you.

I don't think you've ever asked me a question about my life. Sure I have.

Yeah, what am I connecting?

Uh, well, for starters, your son's name's Poppy.

And his Spider-Man?

I can't tell you this, sweetheart.

Not me, Mr. Spider-Man.

Oh, God.

A hijacked tank is heading southbound past 34th Street. All available units

respond. Hey, you getting this?

More work. Lucky you.

Okay, I'll see you out there. I'm so sorry, I gotta go.

No, no, I don't need to...

I didn't know it just by looking at it, but this very street was completely

destroyed in the Battle of New Orleans.

Yo.

Yo.

Thank you.

Thank you, guys.

Are you going to stop that thing or what?

Heading straight for the damage control detention center.

I'm trying.

Try harder. There's a lot of scary loot blocks up in there. Who do you think put

them in there?

Let's go, Scorpion.

Get out of the vehicle, ma'am.

I was thinking the same thing.

Keep everything.

There is a building.

Enjoy the rest, Scorpion.

Scorpion team, let's lay down in the cheaper bag.

Scorpions are eternal, man.

You can see me.

Tell me who you are.

You first.

You pushed

me out.

Interesting. What the hell was that?

Did you just try to jump into my mind?

No. The whole time they've been chasing me.

You guys are asking yourself a very important question.

What's that thing?

Spider-Man?

What just happened?

You guys okay? You good?

I swear, all the things they said I did, I don't remember doing any of them. It's

okay, it's okay. Look, let these people take a carry. I would never hurt you.

Okay. I love you, sweetheart. Yeah, all right, buddy, all right.

Hey, what do you got? Here, get this.

Chopper took Scorpion to Bellevue. Ten minutes later, a guard walked in right

out the door. What?

Mm-hmm.

What about the tank?

Stolen from a damage control warehouse in Brooklyn.

Driver was a janitor before there.

You got a motive?

Not on.

And no criminal record?

Scorpion must have gotten to us somehow.

Yeah, maybe.

What do you mean, maybe?

I mean, I don't know.

But I know someone that might.

Where are you going?

You keep following the lead, Don Scorpion. I'm going to go talk to

someone.

Is this 3250 Brighton Beach?

Okay.

I think I know what that means.

Take off your clothes.

Uh, what?

You don't wear clothes in Tasmania.

They're just a leotard.

This is not a leotard.

Your text said that this was your office.

This is my office.

Get in.

Fine, thanks. I'll just... My office, my room.

This way, you get to enjoy a nice, relaxing talk, and I get to see that you

don't have any weapons, and we both win.

I've seen it.

It's hard to unsee to be honest. But look, I don't have anyone. I just kind

of keep to myself.

Oh, but you're sad all the time?

I wonder if you feel sad.

Can we just talk about when I came here to talk to you about the attack on

damage control?

Yes. So that is more your area.

Like small potato stuff.

Whereas the new Avengers are focusing on big potato stuff.

Right. Okay. Well, there's more to it than that. You know, the driver and the

others who were helping. Like someone was looking at you.

And you're wondering if it's mind control.

Exactly. Like how they used on me in the red room. Exactly. And the other

weirdos. Right. Right. No, I don't think so. I actually think it's probably more

like possession.

Possession?

As a ghost, or a demon, or in Russia we have leshy, leshy.

Wolves can fart and can possess.

Sorry.

Whatever it is, they're looking for something.

This is the fourth attack on the damage control facility in the room.

What do you think they're looking for?

I don't know.

But you know what?

After the attack today, there was a cross-agency cybersecurity alert that

got triggered.

Someone accessed the damage control restricted server using credentials from

13 police on the way station.

They all searched for the same thing.

What does that mean?

It could be alien tech, or secretive weapon programs, or

launch codes, or... I don't know. This is for you to figure out. This is

plumbed baby potato stuff, not baby potato brain stuff.

Jeez, maybe I'll just go ask damage control myself.

You know, you're not completely anonymous anymore.

I figured.

Belly button.

Okay, bye.

appointment with, uh... Director Metzger. Yes. Please step through the

scanner.

Enhanced human detected.

Superior strength.

Superior agility.

Heightened senses.

Exogenous DNA.

Arachnid.

Please remove your face covering for identity scan.

Oh, no, I can't do that. Failure to remove your face covering will result in

defensive measures.

Defensive measures? What are you talking about?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, guys, guys, guys, I can't take my mask off.

Spider-Man.

He's all right.

My apologies.

We are so glad you're here.

Bill Metzger, Director of Damage Control.

How are you?

I'm good, thank you.

We have to beef up security around here, but I hope we didn't give you a fright.

No, not at all. All right, come on this way.

This floor is mostly research and administrative.

Down there, we have incident cleanup, laboratory, agent training.

Hey, what are they doing? It's okay.

The hand works for us now.

After you brought them in, I realized that fundamentally they're a group of

kids without a leader.

All they needed was a little direction.

And suddenly all the things that made them dangerous turned them into an

invaluable part of our security team.

You can look at the many fronts that face us and see only danger.

But you can see opportunity.

Wow, look at that.

In the hands of Docker, these are nuisance.

That doesn't mean we can't buy from the technology or respect the innovation.

Our mission is to redirect destructive energy to something useful.

That's the true meaning of damage control.

Be careful with that!

President Lloyd?

I, uh, wanted to talk to you about the recent attacks on the agency.

There's been four, right?

Please, have a seat.

You are right.

It appears we're faced with a threat we can't control.

One we can't even see.

But you can.

I saw the security footage.

I also read Detective DeWolf's report.

I believe you understand exactly what we're up against.

Someone or something that can hop into people's minds.

But not yours?

No. I mean, it tried, but it couldn't.

I'm gonna be honest with you.

We're on our heels right now.

God forbid if we were to get in here and find whatever it is it's looking for,

the consequences could be... unimaginable.

Let me get whatever it's looking for in that giant vault.

There are some things, because of the nature of my job, I cannot tell you.

But I believe you're our best defense against this.

You're the only one who can sense it.

You're the only one who's immune to it.

I'm counting on you to defeat it.

That's a pretty good speech, Director.

I'll do everything that I can, I promise.

Well, then consider yourself a friend of Damage Control.

Thanks.

I'll be in touch.

Oh, I wanted to ask.

The phrase VMAX doesn't mean anything to you, does it?

No.

Where'd you hear that?

Oh, I just, you know, thank you for being a superhero. There are some things

I just can't tell you.

Anyway, I'll see you later.

You guys are doing great. Keep it up.

I don't think Metzger knows any more than we do, but I told him I'd do

whatever I can to help.

You want to help?

The best thing you could do is find Scorpion. He's our only lead. Yeah, I

know. I have every camera in the city running official recognition scan for

him. That sounds super illegal, Spider-Man. I'm going to pretend I

didn't hear that.

Yeah, probably for the best.

But look, if he shows his face, we'll know. Do you have any, any tips?

No, not yet.

I'll call you back.

Uh-huh.

It's easy.

Hey,

uh,

also, you got any sharp fire energy?

Yeah.

Oh, no, no, no. I don't want any. That stuff will kill you.

All my friends were drinking them during finals, and now they're addicted.

So I'm going to need you to not sell me any.

Memorize my face?

Please, do not sell this guy any short fire.

Sure. Whatever.

Actually, I'll take one.

The last one.

Maybe two.

And then never sell me any.

I'll get it right.

See, you've stumbled across my board.

I'm not one of those weirdos, I swear.

He actually saved me and my friends' lives a few times in high school.

Oh, cool.

Yeah, yeah.

Ever since, I've just been trying to figure out who he is.

Not to unmask him to the world or anything, just to, you know, hopefully

thank him face-to-face.

I actually created this app that monitors your sightings.

Well, you created his body tracker.

You heard of it. Nice.

Where is Spider-Man?

Little chat room right there.

Now, we know he's definitely from Queens.

Not the biggest revelation.

But I have been able to narrow it down to two prime suspects.

Yeah. If you knew who they were, it would really blow your mind. I'm sure.

Ned, by the way.

Oh, I'm, um... Well, there's like 50 people in our apartment.

Statistically speaking, it means like two of them are sociopaths. Which is

kind of cool.

Nice flowers.

Oh, they're, uh, housewarming gifts.

Really? Yeah.

Oh, okay.

Most people just brought beer and chips. That's very nice.

Uh, I'm MJ.

I'm, uh, I'm, uh, Maynard.

Maynard.

You two don't know each other?

No, I'm a neighbor.

Friendly neighbor?

Sorry.

So, how was the interview?

I'm gonna go put these in water.

It was nice to meet you, Maeve Nard. Nerd.

Maeve Nard. Yeah.

Did you go?

Please tell me that you went.

Yeah, so I went.

And?

And I got the job.

Oh my god, that's amazing!

I turned it down.

I don't want to work for some sort of corporation.

It's not almost soulless.

Okay, they're all mostly soulless, but don't you want, like, health insurance?

Yeah, of course I do, but at what cost?

Depends on your deductible.

Oh, you mean, like, your principles?

Yeah. Sorry.

I don't know. I know it sounds cheesy, but something is just telling me that

I'm supposed to be waiting for something great, you know?

Okay, um, to, uh, wait for something great.

Waiting for something great.

Well, the wait is over.

Oh!

You're home.

Dude, this is Bob's house.

Just like you.

Oh! I want to hide this.

I lifted this off him again.

What if Ned needs the fire of a thousand charms?

You need heart palpitations.

You can't save everyone. I can try.

together.

Yeah, sure. Yeah, I'd love that.

Be a fresh soul.

Allow me to get?

Yeah, you're right. You're going to forget who

I am.

What are you talking about?

It's okay.

I'm going to come and find you.

I'll explain everything.

I don't want to wait.

Why don't you tell me what you did?

My name is Peter Parker, and I would like a coffee.

Is there anything else?

You think you don't have to listen to me now that I've got powers?

You know, this whole thing can get really

scary.

You know that?

Well, yeah, it's already pretty scary.

Yeah.

And things can change very quickly.

Ways that we can't even imagine right now.

Believe me, I know.

What do you mean?

Oh, no!

I uh... I live here, I just um... I'm gonna grab my stuff.

Oh, keep the mouth.

You have 107 new alerts. Please check backlog.

What is happening?

The results of your body scan show a surge in the hormones associated with

your arachnid DNA, resulting in the formation of organic web spinnerets and

dangerously heightened sensory receptors.

Okay, but I feel fine.

Prolonged isolation or emotional trauma could be contributing to this sudden

change. Have you experienced any recent traumatic events?

Peter?

I'm fine, Edie. You don't seem fine. I recommend you take some time to

rebalance. Well, that's not really an option, is it?

Mechanical web shooters and organic webs cannot be used simultaneously.

are taking in too much information at once.

Okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

All right, organic webs.

Peter 2 happened. He was cool.

He was cool.

Oh, my God, that's hideous.

Okay, here we go.

Okay, that didn't work.

Organic webs.

Come on, man!

What's going on, Evie?

Shots fired at the Damage Control Data Center in Manhattan.

Suspect facial match with Scorpion.

Okay, I'm on my way.

Come on, three.

Scorpion, do we really gotta keep doing this? My head is killing me.

You think I'm Scorpion?

What's happening, Katie?

Huh.

You can't save me anymore.

You.

What's going on with you, Spider-Man?

Is she okay?

Is she okay?

No. It wasn't Scorpion, okay? I mean, it was... He was possessed by whatever

hijacked that train, okay?

Please, can I just... Slow down.

Listen, I don't know what this is, but I need you to pull it together.

You almost killed a cop.

This isn't you.

I know, I'm sorry.

If you act like this again, I cannot protect you.

Whatever this is, you need to fix it.

Through lattice chromodynamics,

We can arrange time and space in a grid, which allows us to simulate the

quarks binding into the protons.

Cindy, is this the question about protons or more stuff about Avengers?

Okay. Guys, I love to tell stories, but you know, I got to teach you some

physics at some point here.

All right. Let it rip, Cindy.

If Thanos is so worried about overpopulation, Why didn't you use the

magic glove to make more food?

Arthur, you want to answer that question?

Hulk!

Excuse me, Dr.

Maddox. Are you okay?

Yeah, sorry. It's just a headache.

Have you got a minute? I wanted to talk to you about your inhibitor.

Oh, sure.

Don't worry. We've got fail-safe. I'm not going to turn into the big green

raging monster machine in the cafeteria.

But if you do see me with this thing off, run.

No,

but you're using target-specific short-interfering RNA, right?

It's like gene silencing, you're just incorporating the gamma radiation.

What'd you say your name was?

Uh, Ned.

So you found a way to suppress the expression of DNA even as it's

undergoing the mutation due to gamma radiation, right? Yes.

Okay, so my question is, would that same thing be possible with DNA that's

mutating for another reason?

What's the reason?

I don't know.

Let's say that the host genome is mixed with some kind of foreign DNA.

Theoretically.

Theoretically, yes, that's possible.

Yes.

to press on these young parts of that DNA expression.

Like the bad aspects, but just keep all the good stuff.

You mean, like if I wanted to keep some parts of hope and not others?

Right. It would be enormously dangerous and complex, but if you were able

to target the correct mRNA strand?

Possibly. Wait, so you could just turn the mutating gene on and off as long as

you do it before the mRNA transcription?

Maybe.

I mean, if you apply the same thinking, you could even develop some kind of

automatic inhibitor that would just adjust to any type of mutation.

Well, now you're talking about a universal inhibitor that would control

anyone who has any powers.

It's a dangerous idea.

Well, yeah, but it's theoretical, right?

You're not one of my students, are you?

I'm a grad student.

I've taken enough of your time. I've got to get some books back to the library.

The library is that way.

Right. Right.

How would you decide?

What's that?

Old parts of nature are good or bad.

What if you're trying to control the expression of something that needs to be

expressed?

Good luck with your studies, Ed.

Thank you, Professor.

Fourth inhibitor

prototype complete.

Upload inhibitor.

Uploaded.

Would you like to run a test?

Yeah, run it.

Several days.

Spiders have three stages in their life cycle.

Each stage is characterized by physical changes, with the largest changes

occurring during the beautiful transition to adulthood.

For those who make it through, molting amounts to a kind of fever.

Can you turn that spider stuff off? Turn it off video.

Inhibitor. Keep an eye on my vitals.

Inhibitor engaged.

Suppressing arachnid hormones to your baseline level.

Okay.

All right, Amy.

Let's do this.

Initiating field test one.

That's working.

Alert. Inhibitor is overheating.

Functionality reducing.

Yeah. I'm sensing that.

Alert. Sensing overload.

Alert.

Web grenades activated.

There we go.

Yo, Spider-Man!

You okay?

Yeah, I'm just trying out some new tech.

Oh, yeah?

To get rid of that monster inside you?

You okay, Anthony, huh?

Guess your technology isn't working.

You know, you're the only person I've met that I can't... Hop into.

I'm sure that's really frustrating for you.

Well, I'll get in there one day. What do you want?

I don't know why a half-human, half-spider would decide to work for an

organization whose sole mission is to hunt down anybody who's different.

Damage Control isn't after you because you're different.

They're hunting you down because you're dangerous. Now, what do you want?

Since you're a very simple spider, let me spell it out for you.

Damage control is something that I need.

Oh, you mean VMAX?

I was planning to use Scorpion to get it, but you keep getting in my way.

I will always be in your way. Oh, are you sure about that, Peter Parker?

You know, your apartment is kind of like a parody where you think a sad single

guy with money is my bitch.

Bain powder container.

Freeway.

Protein powder?

You're bluffing.

You know, you're not hard to track down, Peter.

Well, at least not for someone like me.

I did find one interesting thing, though.

In the wrong places.

Coffee cup.

Easy display home workstation.

You spent four years erasing Peter Parker from existence?

No wonder this body's trying to swallow up the man.

I wonder if MJ would even recognize him.

I think I might go see how she's doing. I'm not going to let that happen. No,

her roommate was nice enough to post a new address online.

How about if I erase it?

You touch her, and it starts winning.

I'm fast.

You better make up your mind.

He's being tracked for physical anomalies.

Searching for physical anomalies between subjects.

Please stand by.

Thank you all so much for coming today.

I'm sorry about that.

Give it up for Spider-Man.

It raised for the love of his life, and it's not looking good.

Come on, Spidey.

Hip-hop.

Sorry.

Excuse me. Run these numbers with the others.

Calculating. Calculation complete.

I don't see anybody up here for you to hop into.

Like I said, you're not getting me.

Time for this. Please, come on. You need to get out of my apartment.

But this is going to sound insane, but there is someone who is after you who is

really dangerous, okay? And I promised you that I would keep you safe.

Please, you just have to trust me. Come on.

Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. Okay.

We should be safe up here.

Okay, well, safe from what?

I'm not entirely sure.

Okay, well, what do they want with me?

I don't know.

You don't know?

It doesn't make any sense. Why would they choose me?

I wish I could tell you. I just... We knew each other, didn't we?

What?

That's the only explanation.

It's been driving me crazy for years, all the times that Spider-Man saved

either me or Ned.

It was the Washington Monument, and then it was London, and Prague, and the Night

Monkey.

I mean, twice as a coincidence, but over and over again.

We knew each other. Tell me I'm wrong.

Wait, you're wrong.

What were we? Were we classmates or friends or something?

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

Were we something more?

I just, I can't.

I can't remember and I feel like someone scrambled my brain and you're the only

one who would know why.

This is crazy. I know that you can't tell me the truth.

But I need to know.

Maybe there's a part of me that still remembers.

Go ahead,

Peter.

Touch her.

Hold her.

You've been wanting to do this so long.

True love's kiss breaks the spell and reunites the star-crossed lovers.

I'm Jamie Fonda.

You really are a simple spider, aren't you?

I see why you like her.

She's, uh... She's smart.

Funny.

A little dark and twisted.

I mean, it is sad.

There is, like, no thoughts of you in here.

Once or never.

But you knew that, didn't you?

You're a mother.

If you loved someone the way that I love her, then you'd know that what you're

doing right now is unforgivable.

All of that, though.

You know, some people...

You're running out of time, Peter.

It's good enough that it won't just be your friends who don't remember Peter

Parker.

Maybe you should write a letter to yourself.

There's a monster up here.

You win, you win, you win. Just don't hurt her.

You're a mess, Spider-Man.

Anytime I want.

I can be anyone I want.

So you can't protect MJ.

Even from herself.

It really is a nice letter.

A little heavy-handed.

Not bad.

I'm going to take you someplace safe.

Take me to 3165.

Navigating to Empire State University.

Can we just slow down for like two seconds, please? We're almost there.

Yeah, yeah, but you just told me I was mind-controlled.

Well, not technically. If you're lucky, I believe in that stuff, okay? Because

governments have been doing it for years, especially the French.

Are you okay?

Yeah, gee, look, sorry. I'm just trying to make you someplace safe, okay?

Oh, I'm so safe.

You're losing it, kid.

Thought you'd be able to see that coming a mile away.

What is wrong with you? You could have killed us. Excuse me? You show up to my

house and ask what you think is going to happen. Wait, this is your house? What

the hell is that?

What the hell are you?

She's, um, uh, you know.

No, I don't know. That's why I just asked.

She's in danger, Frank. Look, I need your help, okay?

Yeah, looks like it. Well, come on. You owe me.

Ah, come on. That's your sick-headed story. Staten Island.

That's Staten Island. What more do you want me to do? I literally saved your

life. Get out of your mind, kid. I gotta save it twice to get back to you? That

guy's gonna hit me with a handful of rice. What does that sound like to you?

I have exactly what I want. I see you right there. I know exactly what I want.

Take that junkie a little back. Okay, fine. Go ahead. What does that sound

like to you?

Okay, I just want to go home.

That's an excellent idea.

Kick rocks. No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Please.

I have got to keep her safe, okay? And I don't have anywhere else to go.

You like chili?

I made chili.

All right. Watch out for the claymores.

I won't pick up pieces of you for the next two weeks.

I definitely would not eat that chili.

So you're telling me that maniac behind all that tank nonsense is nothing but a

goddamn teenager.

And it's not just a tank. It's every attack on damage control this past

month. I think you did learn how to drive a tank.

I don't know, Frank.

Beat your ass all over the street like that. She did not beat my ass.

This is him?

You should get the hell away from that.

Look, I got one rule in this house.

You don't touch anything.

Don't move anything.

You sure as shit don't ask me any goddamn questions about anything.

So three rules.

Ask you why you like her.

Go put some pants on.

Don't touch the chili.

I like him.

Of course you do.

So I managed to pull the zimmies from my HUD and I'm ready to do this.

Who is she? A couple months ago, nobody.

She was in and out of foster care, psych hospitals, and then eventually she ran

away and dropped off the grid.

There's hardly any information about her that hasn't been scrubbed, but she

classified as a telepath, and now we have a name.

Jean Gray.

Yeah.

These are the damage control sites that she hasn't hit yet.

So, if she services, then my facial tracking program will pick her up.

Right. Oh, yeah? What then?

Well, don't worry about what then. Just look after her.

Don't worry about it, huh?

You're supposed to sit here and babysit your girlfriend?

I don't want to. She's my girlfriend.

All right, look, what's the plan, huh?

Just kind of hope that your facial tracking program works?

You get yourself killed, I got to watch her the rest of my life. I'm not going

to get killed, Frank. I can catch her, okay? I just have to fix my inhibitor

and then I'll be good to go.

What do you need to do that?

Frank, you do not have what I need to do that, okay?

Hey, you got some mouth on you. What do you think you have, an anti-static mat,

a total probe with micro tools?

I got all that shit.

What for?

Bingo.

I'm leaving home.

Hey, do you think it's safe to maybe call someone and let them know I'm okay?

Uh... Like your boyfriend?

No, like my roommate.

Oh, um...

I don't think that's such a good idea, you know, because she already knows who

he is and she can inhabit anyone she wants. Right, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

Sorry. No, it's fine. I totally get it.

If I called my boyfriend, he'd just ask me a bunch of questions that I couldn't

answer and then he'd tell me I was being withholding again.

Withholding? Yep.

Sounds like your boyfriend's kind of a jerk.

Why do you think you're withholding?

I don't know. You tell me, masked vigilante behind the curtain.

Um, okay,

I see your point.

So what about you?

What about me?

Well, do you have Mrs.

Spider-Man?

Do I have Mrs. Spider-Man?

Um... No.

No.

Why not?

Why not? Because I'm... I'm too withholding, obviously.

Welcome to the club.

There was someone.

Huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What happened?

I, uh... I had to let her go.

To keep her safe.

Sorry, that must have been really hard for you.

Yeah, it was, yeah.

It is.

It is really hard.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm okay. What? It's kind of cold. Hold on, hold on, hold on,

hold on, hold on.

What's going on?

It just keeps overheating on me.

It's been stomping me for days.

Before I switched to aerospace, I was going to major in biochemical

engineering.

Do you mind if I... Oh, yeah, for sure. Here.

There you go.

So, does the device itself, I mean, does it generate any kind of radiation or a

magnetic field? Because that would definitely interfere.

Well, yeah, it has a micro magnetic field, but I accounted for that in the

design. Okay, well, what about your suit?

Oh, it actually dissipates into the fabric, which is pretty cool.

Okay.

What about those?

What about what?

Your goggles.

Or whatever you call them. Uh, they would create a field. It would be tiny,

but... But it's on your head, which is very close to the inhibitor. Which is

probably why it's overheating. Oh, and that is genius.

Okay, this has to work.

Inhibitor engaged.

Suppressing selected arachnid hormones.

Okay, that feels better.

That feels totally better.

Oh, my head feels so clear.

And I'm not shooting organic webs. Oh, my God, Angie, that, like, totally

worked.

You know, this isn't really intense stuff you're working on here.

Well, yeah, it's really important.

Yeah, but this is, like, I mean, this is, like, altering your DNA.

I mean, this is the kind of stuff you put on, like, I don't know, like a

monster?

Well, if you've seen what's been happening to me over the last couple

days, then you might understand.

Yeah, well, I've been with you for the last few hours, and that's not what I've

seen.

Then what have you seen?

From my side of the curtain.

I really could die.

I might just be changing.

I don't need to overstep all that.

I'll get back to it.

You want coffee?

Sure.

Get your shit fixed.

Yeah, I've been wearing it all night.

So far so good.

I made this other one universal.

So if I could get it on Jean, it should completely shut down her powers.

You know what else would work?

You just shoot her.

Nice.

That's crazy.

That's got to be the goofiest shit I've ever seen in my life. You can't even

take the mask off. Drink a cup of coffee.

I'll take it personally, Frank. It stays on for everybody.

Even her?

Who is she, kid?

I don't know. Ah, that's horse shit. Who is she? I'm telling you, I don't know

who she is. You care about her. I don't care about her. Look, I don't know who

she is, Frank, okay? I don't have anybody. I'm like you. I just keep to

myself. You're like me.

What do you know about me, kid?

You think this is a choice? Living like this is a lifestyle?

Is that what you think?

Kid, this is a sentence.

If I had one second, people I love are still breathing. You think I'd be hiding

behind a mask?

You think I'd pretend to be something that I'm not?

Acting like a goddamn coward?

I got a facial match.

She's at the damage control HQ in Manhattan.

I gotta go. Okay.

She's gonna be okay.

I'll see to it.

Hey.

Hey.

You're just gonna let him go by himself?

You know, I think he might need you.

Kind of like you needed him on set now.

You can't hide from me forever, Bill.

You've got a strong door, but it's the one you have to worry about.

Who are you and what do you want?

I'm Jeannie Gray, and you know what I want.

I don't want everybody to hear this.

Gene?

You woke me up?

I'm blushing.

I told you what would happen to your girl if you got in my way.

You're not getting near her again.

You're definitely not getting inside that vault.

Maybe not.

But this guy might.

Gene, you don't know what you're dealing with.

You know, you and Banner have a lot in common.

I'm fighting a losing battle against a monster that lives inside you.

Gene, this is the Hulk you can't def- What

the hell?

Oh, I see.

Trying to muzzle me like you muzzle yourself.

I can't let you in there.

Whatever VMAX is, you're not getting it.

Like hell I'm not.

I told you to stay home and watch him. Yeah, you did.

And then she tells me I gotta come watch you.

Wait, did she actually say that to you?

Are you blushing? I have to go.

God

damn

it. I can do it before I pick her up.

That's a good idea. Bring her up and go. What are you gonna do? Do you want to

live to death? No, look. Change your plan.

First we get this on the Hulk, then we go after him.

I got one better.

That's the highest casualty producing thread. You contain it. I go find the

source. I take it down. You got it?

Are you just trying to get out and fight in the hole?

What are you doing?

Okay, whatever, dude. I got this.

Hold your breath. Do not kill her.

Don't start with that soft serve bullshit.

I'm going to do this. I'm going to do it my way. Just go.

Just go.

Don't get within 33 feet.

So frustrating.

Hey. Oh, no.

No, not again.

Oh, no.

Dr. Banner?

Is that you?

Spider-Man, what happened?

Where am I?

Hey, hey, hey. Did I do all this?

God. Did I hurt anyone?

It's not your fault. She was in your mind. She wasn't in control.

I've lost my inhibits. Look, here, here. They're always been keeping the monster

inside. It's okay. I got another one. I just need you to put this on. What is

this? Universal. It should work on you.

Please, for the people in the building, put it on.

You okay?

My head.

I think you broke something.

Is he still in there?

No.

Oh, my God.

Bruce?

I can get you out of here, okay? I just need you to put that inhibitor on. I

can't get through.

Yes, you can, Bruce. Yes, you can.

Get out of the building.

Get out of the building.

I didn't know you could get that big.

Look at that, Peter.

to that nature.

Throw down your gun, or you'll get the next one in the head.

Where is she?

It's over, Gene.

Send my gun.

Save my life.

And you saved God knows how many lives by making sure she didn't find what she

was looking for in him.

Before she passed out, she tried to say something.

A name, Sarah.

Does that mean something to you?

Before you got the inhibitor on her, she managed to get in my mind for a moment.

Sarah was the name of someone I worked closely with that recently passed.

Sorry to hear that.

Somehow the memory of Sarah must have affected her.

Well, I'd love to talk to her when she wakes up.

That's all right. Of course.

She'll be transferred to our facility on Roosevelt Island.

I'm just as eager to give the talking as you are. But let's not strain her too

much for one day.

Yeah, of course.

Thank you, Spider-Man.

My pleasure.

One day.

It worked.

She's in custody.

Are you safe?

You love this?

Did you want me to find it?

No.

No. Look,

I can explain.

Can you take that off, please?

What?

I think I deserve to have this conversation with Peter Parker.

I was trying

to protect you.

I know,

I'm sorry.

So you just were going to make that decision for me?

I know I'm sorry.

I don't really need you to keep saying that you're sorry. I don't know what you

want me to tell you. I want you to tell me why you would do this to me.

I lost someone.

And they'd still be here if it wasn't for me.

I can read you that letter because...

I didn't want anything like that to happen to you.

That's not really your decision. I know it's not, but... And

I've been trying to live my life without you, but I...

or whatever it is that you did.

They weren't.

All these memories that you're saying that we have together, I don't... I

don't have them.

And I do see why, you know, she would love you, the girl you wrote that letter

to, but...

Don't think that what you want to do is to die for her.

After that, I'm so hopeful that I

never... I won't love you.

Because I don't... I don't even know you.

Do you mind taking me home?

Thank you. Yeah, sure.

Um,

I'm gonna, uh... Uh, yeah.

Yeah, of course.

Do you want to come up?

Just to say hi to Ned, maybe?

Oh, I'd love that.

a.k.a. Dr. Bruce Banner, is in custody, currently being transferred to a

psychiatric ward. After years as a peaceful academic, the question the

world asks today is, what finally is that?

Hey,

I'm here, bye.

Hey, I'm here, bye. Hey,

I'm here, bye.

Hey, I'm here, bye. You're not going to believe this, but the Spidey Tracker app

says that Spider-Man is in the direct vicinity.

Oh yeah? No way, that's crazy.

Uh,

Ned? Spider-Man? Spider-Man, Ned?

It's nice to meet you, Ned.

Oh, I'm not like a weirdo or anything.

He's a little weird.

Why are you here?

Oh, I was on the subway platform, right? And she was on her phone. Yeah, I got a

little distracted and the train was coming.

And I just swooped her right up.

Oh my God.

Why has that never happened to me?

So what if you're mid-swing and you decide you need to pee? Do you just land

on top of a building? What?

Do you drop down to the ground level and run into a coffee shop and you're like,

hey, it's Spider-Man, I need to pee? Or do you find a rooftop somewhere?

No, I don't find a rooftop somewhere. Is this really what you want to be asking

him right now? Yeah, dude, come on, you can ask me anything. You want to know

how my web shooters work? I mean, I already know how the web shooters work.

Is that right? Well, there's obviously some sort of shear-thinning fluid that

is cycling within the chamber, right, so it can keep its liquid form. And then

when you activate it by pressing on the triggers, it runs through a Teflon

turbine, and then it hardens when it interacts with the air.

Right? I mean, not exactly, but... Okay, okay, well then tell me what's in the

blood fluid. I would guess something like a long-chain polymer.

Nylon? That's pretty close.

Okay, okay, what about Nomex or... Oh, Kevlar!

Alright then, keep those secrets.

If you are very good interested with the dragon, I was very involved.

All I did was simply give your uncle a little nudge out the door.

Solid reference.

Ooh, bond me time.

You ordered bond me?

I ordered five bond me's. We have Spider-Man in the apartment. He's going

to get sad.

Sorry about him. He's just like very excited that you're here. Are you

kidding? It's like the most fun I've had in years.

I really miss you guys.

You guys really do look like best friends.

What do you mean?

You should tell him.

He can handle it.

When she was inhabiting you on

the rooftop, she kissed me.

And I kissed her back.

Because I thought it was you, but I didn't know.

And I'm really sorry.

I just thought you should know.

Thanks for telling me.

I mean, it's not like I remember anything anyway, so.

Really? Yeah. It was weird. It was like one second I was sitting at my desk, and

the next second I was lying on the street.

I don't know, like a light switch went off.

What? He said you don't remember anything.

No, why?

I'm sure he said he remembers thinking about someone named Sarah, but what

you're saying is that you don't remember anything at all.

I mean, yeah, it was instantaneous. That's what made it so scary.

He lied to me.

I heard you caught Bleshy.

Yeah, her name's Jean Grey. I need some help determining the size of the

potatoes. Potatoes? I think that's my widow.

I think Metzger lied to me about a name. Can you see if there's a connection

between Jean and someone named Thera?

Hmm, these potatoes sound meager.

Oh, wow, that really is your office.

Well, well, well.

Internet, government records, and a lot of data related to Jean Grey has been

scrubbed by damage control.

Data about what?

Her sister.

Wait, Jean has a sister?

Hmm.

Sarah Gray.

Also a telepath.

Damage control took her into custody for study and observation.

Wow. I mean, you can probably guess what they mean by that.

Experimentation in other human rights violations? Yes, exactly.

Wait, who are you?

Hi, Deadly's. Hi!

I'm sorry. I'm just so happy that the dead man has friends.

Thanks. I, uh, I owe you one.

Good luck, Spider-Man.

Bye. She was just looking for her sister, and I handed her to the people

who took her.

I gotta go.

Did you see her?

Be careful, all right?

Yeah, we will.

Spider-Man's gonna be here.

Jean, who do you want to be?

Her. Pink jacket.

She's too far.

You're gonna pop.

Pop?

First, pick someone close.

And then...

A chop is a limit, but you can string them together and go as far as you want.

And when you let go,

you run back where you started.

Could he do that to everyone in this park at once?

You know, maybe one day, he'd get really good.

How could she just send it away?

She wasn't really a mom.

Not like that, anyway. She was.

Fully changed.

Yeah, well, if that's all it takes for you to stop being a mom, then you're not

a mom.

What would you do if you had daughters like us?

I'd love them.

Especially the redheads. Shut up.

We are the other.

Do we have ice cream?

Want to mix it up with chocolate? Yeah.

Subject is awake.

Heart rate is 94 BPM.

Gene, that's not going to work anymore.

Thanks for inspiring me.

Gene.

I need you to breathe.

I need you to look at me and breathe.

Okay. You're safe.

Breathe.

Where is she?

Like your sister, you've been blessed with a power that has the potential to

do tremendous good in the world, or tremendous damage.

A power like yours in the hands of a child is an impossible burden.

But imagine if that power was placed in the hands of people who actually know

what to do with it.

Where is my sister?

You're going to change the world, Jane.

What you doing?

Oh, yeah, how's that?

Got eyes everywhere, kid.

Look, Frank, Samson's gonna kidnap Dean's sister. Dean was just trying to

find her. He was all about everything.

That metal horse shit.

You've seen what she can do and what she's capable of. What, you're gonna let

her loose? Is that what you're gonna do?

I can tell you right now, you knew that.

Now you're gonna look my way.

Distance checked.

Forty-fifths down. Flogging down the room.

Flogging down.

Distance is inevitable.

Change of powers are now fully operational.

As you can tell, you're beyond your jump rings.

Tell me what VMAX is.

You're the second person to ask me about that. I have no idea what that means.

She sent me a message.

She was trying to help me find her.

She communicated with you telepathically across all that distance?

We did register a huge spike in that session.

Fascinating. What does it mean, asshole?

I don't know.

Let's begin.

I

work

with Sarah Stungeon on two areas.

Identifying the source of her power and identifying a path towards copying it.

If we could find a way to record a telepathic brain during a jump.

But perhaps we could replicate those pathways in the mind of our choosing.

This instrument is your sister's legacy.

We built this together over many months of trial and error.

I hope you and I can honor her sacrifice.

What are you talking about?

Sort of the first jump.

Tell me.

What VMAX is.

I know that's where you're hiding her.

She's jumping.

Copy.

We're in full lockdown.

Process has commenced.

What process?

Hey, whoa, that's a pretty serious look there, dude.

Hey, whoa, what the hell, man? Come on, I'm a friend of Damage Control. What are

you doing?

Huh, it's going to be like that if you want to go.

All right, all right, just give me a sec.

Give me a sec.

I'm not in high school anymore.

Did you stretch? Are you a big stretcher? I mean, you should do it in

your line of work.

What about you? Are you a bad stretcher?

It's so good for you.

You ready?

What the heck?

Recording's not dead.

Excuse me, sir.

We have injury.

You were right.

He's much stronger than his history.

Increase the frequency.

You're doing very well, Jane.

The last thing my sister saw was this room. One of the rain waves is somehow

affecting the objects around her. Shut it down. I'm trying, sir. What do you

mean you're trying?

The last thing my sister saw was this goddamn room!

Shut it down!

I can't, sir.

I can't let you do that, Bill.

The only hands that will wield this power are mine.

What do you want?

Jean, I'm here to help you.

You put me here.

I know, and I'm sorry about Sarah, and I'm sorry that I got it so wrong.

If you came here to save a helpless girl from damage control, you're too late.

They're the ones who need saving.

And now, so do you.

Here we go.

Please,

please, please.

your friends from damage control and developed a special weapon just for you.

They've got a whole task force ready.

Just in case you ever get out of line.

People are monsters.

You shouldn't trust them any more than you trust you.

You got to bum, kid.

You got to hold everyone within a kilometer of the island.

Wait, what?

My sister died in this room.

Surrounded by these men.

And her only crime was that she was special.

Just like you.

Just like me.

People like us don't live a normal life.

We don't need to have friends.

Or a family.

Those people are gone.

That life is over.

So why don't you just be honest with yourself?

Are you Peter Parker?

Or are you Spider-Man?

This won't make it right.

Come on, you're not a killer, Jean.

She has no idea what I am.

I know that you loved your sister.

And I know that losing her felt like you lost everything.

If you come any closer, he dies.

They all do.

Don't be so sure it can't get into your mind.

I'm a lot more powerful than they'll ever try.

Hey.

Hey.

You think you don't have to listen to me now that I've got palace?

You know, this

whole thing can get really scary.

You know that?

It's already pretty scary.

Yeah.

And things can change very quickly.

Ways that we can't even imagine right now.

I know.

I don't think you do know.

What do you mean?

I hope that that will always make you feel really great about yourself.

But I know, sometimes it doesn't.

Sometimes it'll be really lonely.

And sometimes, because you're special,

people can be dark, monstrous things to you.

But,

is what I want you to know.

You're beautiful and the people who love you, they love you not because you're

special, they love you because you're you.

I want you to remember that.

You know when it feels like you're totally alone?

That's your deepest responsibility.

Never forget that no matter No matter how powerful you

I'm sorry about your aunt.

Yeah, you would have loved her.

Just because we've lost someone, it doesn't mean we have to do

this alone.

I mean, we can, but trust me, I've been trying.

Nothing's ever...

Even if that's true.

I have no one.

You hurt?

Fine.

I'm okay.

Peter. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. Peter.

Peter. Peter.

No, no, no, no.

Peter.

You've got to get out of here.

Don't be looking for me. No, no, no, no. Please just stay with me. Come on. Hold

on. Come on. Please.

Peter.

Peter. Peter.

Look at me.

Shock today.

A Spider-Man arrived at Bellevue Hospital with a bullet wound.

Seemingly a death story.

The reclusive crime fighter is in critical condition as the city's top

medical experts work to save him.

Tonight, all eyes are on Spider-Man.

The hero who saved New York so many times is now in the hands of its best

and brightest.

And the people of New York hold their breath.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Hey. Where's my dad?

Where's my dad?

I got you covered.

You're good.

Where's Jean? Is she okay?

Yeah, she's okay.

She's okay. Where is she?

I think maybe she just left.

She was, uh, using her magic voodoo shit to keep you alive.

Yeah.

She's alright.

I'm really sorry for what I did. I know it's a lot of things, but here's the

thing, okay?

I think... I think

your bravery killed my day.

But that... That was something else.

Are you crying?

No.

I ain't good.

You know, you look the exact way I thought you would.

You're a nice kid.

I've never had a friend like that.

And we're friends now.

I can't believe I just saw you cry.

What am I talking about?

Bullshit.

Oh, Jeff.

I've been doing it all night.

Been here since you walked in. Take a look.

No kidding.

We came in there to cut through the suit, but...

When you're ready to split, I got a plan.

I'm thinking a lot about what you said.

And you'd be happy to know that I've decided I'm not... I'm not gonna do this

alone anymore.

A little pain in my back, but I could probably get back out there if you need

me for anything.

What I need you to do is rest.

I know, I know, but come on, you gotta give me something. I mean, how's the

investigation going?

Well, the minister's still missing.

Your friend, Black Boydall, she's been helping us get through all the records.

Damage control, trying to have scrubs.

Had me dropped by her office the other day, and I was back.

Well, my skin feels amazing.

Attention all units, we have a confirmed bank robbery in progress.

Hey, are you getting this?

Yeah, I'm on it. Hey, it's not that far from here. I could probably meet you

down there.

No, we can handle a robbery.

Just try to take care of yourself.

Okay.

You do it.

Say hello to E.J. Marley for me.

Okay.

Spider-Man says hello.

Hey. Oh, whoa.

Flower guy, right? From the party?

I'm Peter.

Okay, hello.
