Original subtitles

Hi, my name is Peter Parker.

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 me

when 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.

MJ, come on. Including you.

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

right now.

Thank you.

Because I'm not just Peter Parker.

I'm Spider-Man.

And sometimes, Spider-Man has to do the hard thing, 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.

But until then, I'm going to be...

what happened to him by Spider-Man yesterday.

Does anybody ever come up here?

I don't know if they like the set-up.

We've just been using it for storage.

It's perfect.

Hey, everyone.

Thoughtful here, and then it's back.

Older. Wiser.

Liar.

Let's go.

Whoa. What?

It's on your face.

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

Are you here for Spidey?

If I drop you, maybe I'll knock you through and take you to the underground.

I don't know.

You tell me.

What kind of high note, huh?

Are you trying to take my job like this? Hey, you guys are the professionals. I'm

just a volunteer.

It's a new New York.

Thanks to Spider-Man's crime rate has dropped to a record low.

Police and damage control give much of the credit to the Mac Bureau. Can you

hear it, Hudson?

Armed robbery in Civic Union Bank.

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

five boroughs, including the super-powered ninja group, The Hat.

He is the pride of New York City, a hero every grown-up relies on and every kid

wants to be.

Final semester, MIP.

Oh, my God, for graduating in a month.

He's made so many memories.

Where do I begin?

Night swimming the Charles River with Jim and Wiley.

The infamous food fight at the Banana Lounge.

Pulling all-nighters and stud five with MJ and Nate Dowd.

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

through this with anyone else.

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

It's someone.

What?

No!

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, puppy.

What you need is some real human connection.

A what? We're not connecting?

Nah, dude.

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

I don't think he'd ever ask me a question about my life. Sure, I have.

Hey, what are my kids' names?

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

Is it Spider-Man? I can't tell you that, sweetheart.

Oh, Spider-Man?

Oh, gosh.

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.

You wouldn't know it just by looking at it, but this very This street was

completely destroyed in the Battle of New York.

What are you doing out again, Frank?

You're goddamn right we're not.

This time you're going to get the hell out of my way.

What, you mean instead of saving your life?

Are you going to talk about that Staten Island bullshit again?

Well, you said it, not me.

Look, man, you can't just shoot yourself out of every situation.

Innocent people get hurt.

What do you think's done with that tape, young dog?

It's your birthday, Kyle.

You better stop that thing or what?

Heading straight for the Damage Control Detention Center. I'm trying.

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

them in there?

Let's go, Scorpions.

I was thinking the same thing.

It's simple bag.

Who are you?

You can see me.

Tell me who you are.

You pushed

me

out.

Interesting. What the hell was that?

Did you just try to jump into my mic?

No. The whole time you've been chasing me, you got to ask yourself a very

important question.

What's in a tank?

Spider-Man?

What just happened?

I don't know.

Hey, good job.

Hey, good buddy.

You guys okay? You good?

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

That's okay. It's okay. Look, let's just keep them safe and scary. I would never

hurt you. Okay. I love you, Spider-Man. 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 right out

the door. What? Mm-hmm. What about the tank?

Stolen from a damage control warehouse in Brooklyn. Driver was a janitor who

worked there.

He got a motive?

Not on. And no criminal record.

Scorpion must have gotten to him somehow.

Yeah, maybe.

What do you mean, maybe?

I mean, I don't know.

But I know someone that might.

Where you going?

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

Hi, uh, is this 350 Brighton Beach?

You don't want clothes and lasagna.

This is not a landlord.

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 nice, nice things, too. And I get to see that you

don't have any weapons.

And we both win.

Okay.

You never take that off?

No, you know, you see the whole arm restraint.

Even for your girlfriend or boyfriend?

Or whatever.

There's another good picture of mine.

A super graphic artwork, have you seen?

The one with you and the ten mysterious... Yeah, yeah, yeah, 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, by yourself all the time? I wonder if you feel sad.

So sad.

A little bit. 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 manual managers are focusing on big potato stuff.

Right, okay, well, there's more to it than that, you know.

through their eyes.

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

Exactly. Like how they use don't be in the red room. Exactly. And the other way

of those.

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 in forests

and can possess.

Sorry.

Whatever it is, they're looking for something.

This is the fourth attack on the damage control capability missile.

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 cyber security alert that

got triggered.

Someone accessed the damage control restricted server using credentials from

13 police from the way station.

They all served 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 small baby potato stuff, not big potato brain stuff.

Maybe I'll just go ask damage control myself.

You know, you're not completely anonymous anymore.

I'm seeing your belly button.

Okay. Bye.

I got an appointment with, uh... Director Metzger. Yes. Please step

through the scanner.

Enhancement 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 did you... Oh, oh, oh, oh! Guys, guys, guys, I can't

take my mask off.

I'm part of that.

It'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.

Downstairs, we have incident cleanup, laboratory, agent training.

Hey, what are they doing here? 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.

Okay.

Wow, look at that.

In the hands of Stalker, 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 into something useful.

It's a true meaning of damage control.

I 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 could hop into people's minds.

But not yours?

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

I'm going to 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 guess, it's 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 are 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.

Thank you.

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, it's just, you know, thanks 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.

Do 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 a facial recognition

scan. 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 know what they need?

Anything?

Is that a man?

Also, you got any shark 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 shark fire.

Sure. Whatever.

Actually, I'll take one.

The last one.

Maybe two.

And then never sell me any.

Oh, what's up with your spirit?

I'm being racist.

See, you've stumbled across my board.

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

He actually saved me and my friend's 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 Spidey Tracker?

You heard of it. Nice.

Where is Spider-Man?

Chat room right there.

We know he's definitely from Queens. Not the biggest revelation.

But I have been able to narrow it down into crime 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...

There's like 50 people in our apartment.

Physically speaking, at least two of them are sociopaths, which is kind of

cool.

Nice flowers.

Oh, they're housewarming gifts.

Really? Yeah.

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

I'm MJ.

I'm Maynard.

Maynard.

Oh. You two don't know each other?

No, I'm a neighbor.

Friendly neighbor?

I'm sorry.

So, how was the interview?

I'm going to go put these in water.

It was nice to meet you, Maynard. Nerd.

Maynard. Yeah.

Did you go?

Please tell me that you went.

Yeah, no, I went.

And? And I got the job.

Oh my god, that's amazing!

I turned it down.

What?

Yeah, I don't want to work for some soulless corporation.

They're not all 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 the principal's? Yes. Sorry.

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

I'm supposed to be waiting for the building.

Great, you know.

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

Waiting for something great.

Well, the wait is over.

Oh!

Yo. Dude, this is top shelf.

Just like you.

Oh!

I want to hide this.

I'll lift this off of him again.

What if Ned needs the fire of a thousand charms?

You need heart palpitations.

You can't save everyone. That's my girl.

We live together.

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

Okay, first of all, allow me to get in.

Yeah, well, you're right, Dad.

Right, sir.

You're going to forget who I am.

Okay, what are you talking about?

It's okay.

I'm going to come and find you.

I'll explain it.

Come on, tell me.

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

Anything else?

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

You know, this whole thing can get really scary.

You know that?

Oh 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.

I don't think you do now.

What do you mean?

Oh God!

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

Oh, keep them out.

Hi,

Peter. 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, Evie. You don't seem fine. I recommend you take some time to

rebalance. Well, that's not really enough.

Mechanical web shooters and organic webs cannot be used simultaneously.

Titan's senses are taking in too much information at once.

Okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

All right, organic webs.

Peter 2 Adam, he was cool. You're cool.

Oh, my God, that's hideous.

Okay, here we go.

Organic whips. Come on, man! Whips!

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.

What are you looking for?

I'm looking for VMAX.

I don't know anything.

I'll get it for myself.

I'm

sorry,

I'm late. I've had a really crazy day.

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

You think I'm Scorp-

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

Is she okay?

Is she okay? No. Just let me go. What is going on here?

It was a scorpion, okay? I mean, it was, but he was possessed by whatever

hijacked that thing.

Please, can I just... Slow down.

Listen, I don't know what this is. I need you to blow that 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.

chromodynamics, we can arrange time and space in a grid, which allows us to

simulate the quarks binding into the protons.

Cindy, is this a question about protons or more stuff about adventures?

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 was so worried about overpopulation, why didn't he just use

the magic glove to make more food?

Arthur, you want to answer that question?

Hulk!

Excuse me, Dr. Ben.

I, um...

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.

It's 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.

Please.

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.

So could you suppress only some 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 thing, 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

them. Anyone who has any powers.

It's a dangerous idea.

Yeah, but it's theoretical, right?

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

No, 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?

All 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, Ned.

Thank you, Professor.

Fourth inhibitor prototype complete.

Okay.

Upload inhibitor.

Uploaded. Would you like to run a test?

Yeah, run it.

To adulthood.

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

Can you turn that spider stuff off? Turning off video.

Inhibitor active. Come on, come on.

Keep an eye on my vitals.

Inhibitor engaged.

Suppressing arachnid hormone.

to your baseline level.

All right, Amy, let's do this.

Initiating field test one.

That's worse.

Alert. Inhibitor is overheating.

Functionality reducing.

Yeah, I'm sensing that. Alert. Senses are overloaded. Alert.

Web grenade activated.

Inhibitor field test one.

Failure.

Yo, Spider-Man.

You okay?

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

Oh, yeah?

To get rid of that monster inside you?

Still can't sense me, huh?

Guess your technology isn't working.

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

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

Well, I'll get it done one day. What do you want?

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

organization whose one 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 V-Man?

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

I will always be in your way. Oh, it's true about that?

Peter Parker?

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

guy in his 20s wants to hate how he can hate him.

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.

AP display homework station.

You spent four years erasing Peter Parker from existence?

No wonder this virus tried to swallow up the name.

I wonder if MJ would even recognize it.

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

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

How about this? I'll race you there.

If you touch her, you'll start swinging.

I'm bad.

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 waits for the love of his life and it's not looking good.

Come on, Spidey.

TV,

run these numbers with the others.

Analyze and jump distance from patterns.

You have a limit to your jump radius, don't you?

33 feet.

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

Very clever.

Like I said, you're not getting near her.

time for this please come on you need to get out of my apartment but this is

gonna 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

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?

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

Were we something more?

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 it needs to be.

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

So long.

I can't believe you figured it out.

I can't.

Go ahead, Peter.

Touch her.

Hold her.

You've been wanting to for so long.

and reunites to serve cross-lovers.

I'm Jade with Vomit.

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...

And no thoughts of you in here.

Once or never.

But you knew that, didn't you?

Yeah, I did.

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

doing right now is unforgivable.

Oh, is that so?

You know, some people will kill a total person they love for the rest of their

life.

You're running out of time, Peter.

Soon enough, it won't just be your friends who don't remember Peter Parker.

Maybe you should write a letter to yourself.

Yeah.

Good morning, Peter.

Stop. Wait, wait, stop, stop, please. I'll quit. 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.

Little heavy handed.

You're

okay.

I'm going to take you someplace safe.

Take me to 3165.

Navigating to Empire State.

I got you. I got you. You sure? Yep. Okay, because I think I'm sleeping in

here. No, you're not sleeping. Okay.

You're okay. You're okay. You're okay.

You're fine.

You're fine.

Come on.

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

Yeah, yeah, but you just told me I was lying.

I'm just trying to take you someplace safe, okay?

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 then ask what he thinks is going to happen. Wait,

this is your house? What the hell is that?

What the hell are you?

Uh, 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 sickest story. Staten Island.

That's Staten Island.

What more do you want me to do? I literally saved your life. You're out of

your mind, kid. What, I gotta save it twice to get a better life? 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 it right there. I know exactly what I want. I'll

kick that drug dealer back into his face. Okay, fine, go ahead. What does

that sound like to you?

I just wanna go home.

That's an excellent idea.

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

Please.

Hey, I've 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.

They'll pick up pieces of you for the next two weeks.

Hey, 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 an attack. It's every attack on damage control this past

month. How does a kid learn how to drive a tank? I don't know, Frank.

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

Is this your family?

Why don't you 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 this image from my HUD and read it.

Who is she?

Until a couple months ago, nobody.

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

away and dropped off a grid.

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

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

Jane Gray.

No.

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?

I'm just supposed to sit here and babysit your girlfriend?

I don't want to keep 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?

It's got some mouth on you.

What, do you think you have an anti-static mat, a total probe, and

micro tools?

I got all that shit.

What for?

Bingo.

I'm doing at 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.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right.

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

If I call 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 absurd.

Why do you think you're withholding?

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

Um, okay.

I see your point.

So what about you?

What about me?

Well, do you have Mrs.

Spiderman?

Do I have Mrs. Spiderman?

Um... No.

No.

Why not?

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

Welcome to the club.

There was someone.

Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What happened?

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

I keep her safe.

I'm sorry, that must have been really hard for you.

Yeah, it was, yeah.

It is.

It is really hard.

Oh!

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm okay. You know what? It's going to come over. Hold on,

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, though.

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 this

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 overeating.

Oh, okay, 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 might totally work.

You know, this is some 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 not have been.

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

seen.

And what have you seen?

From my husband.

Early goodbye.

I might just be changing.

Well, I don't mean to overstep all that, but you get back to it.

Can't sleep either, huh?

You want coffee?

Sure.

You 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.

Jesus Christ.

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

take the mask off. Drink a cup of coffee.

Don't take it personally, Frank. It stays on for everybody.

You and her?

Who is she kidding?

I don't know.

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? It's a lifestyle? Is that what you

think?

Kid, this is insane.

If I had one second, people I love were 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 at 9-9. I gotta go.

She's gonna be okay.

I'll stay to it.

You know what I'm saying?

You know, I think he might need you.

Kind of like you need him. What's that matter?

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 like the way it feels like it did.

You looked 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.

And you're definitely not getting inside that vault.

Maybe not.

But this time I... Gene, you don't know what you're dealing with.

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

I was fighting the blooming battle against the monster that is inside you.

Gene, this is the Hulk you came to...

What

the hell?

Oh, I see.

Trying to muzzle me like you muzzle yourself.

I can't let you in there.

Whatever V-Max thinks, you're not getting in.

Like hell not.

Speak up, you're receiving your ass. Stick this blade up on some paper.

I told you to stay home and watch, didn't you? Yeah, you did.

And then she tells me I've got to come watch you.

Wait, did she actually say that to you?

Are you blushing? That's a deal.

You're blushing.

God damn it. I knew it. You brought a bigger gun.

That's a good idea. Bring a bigger gun. What are you going to do?

No, look. Change the point. First we get this on the Hulk, then we go after

Chief. I've got one better.

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

source. I take it down. You got it?

Are you just trying to get out of fighting the Hulk?

I guess so. Okay, whatever. I got this.

Oh, no, wait, wait, wait. What?

Do not kill her.

Don't start with that duster of bullshit.

No, stop. 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.

Whoa.

This guy's got a face.

Oh, no.

No, not again.

Oh, no.

Dr. Banner?

Is that you?

Spider-Man, what happened?

Where am I?

Did I do all this?

Did I hurt anyone?

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

I've lost my inhibitor. 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's your work on you.

Please,

for the people in the building, put it on.

You okay?

My head.

I think he broke something.

Is he still in there?

No.

See you later.

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.

I didn't know you did that, mate.

Whoa.

Good luck with that, Peter.

detonation.

Oh, no!

Oh, my God.

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

It's over, Jane.

Send my gun.

Any of them hurt?

The best one hurt?

Spider-Man.

He saved my life.

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

looking for in there.

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 my line formal.

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

I'm 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, if that's all right. Oh, of

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

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

much for one day.

Yeah, of course.

Thank you, Spider-Man.

My pleasure.

Okay. It worked.

She's in custody.

Stay tuned.

You lost this?

Did you want me to find it?

No.

No. Look,

I can explain.

Are you going to take that off, please?

What?

The mask.

I think I deserve to have this conversation with Peter.

Can we go party at our apartment the other night?

In the donut shop.

The year I went off to school.

Why didn't you tell me then?

I was trying to protect you.

Oh, I've almost been killed like five times in the past 24 hours, so it's not

really working that well.

I know. I'm sorry.

Were you ever going to tell me?

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...

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

everything.

or whatever it is that you did.

It worked.

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...

that he did what he wanted to do to protect her.

And for that, I'm so grateful.

But I... won't love you.

I could probably go now.

I am sorry, waiter.

I don't know how this is going.

I don't know.

Do you mind taking me out?

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 them, maybe?

I would love that.

Hulk, aka 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 snapped?

Huh?

Hey, I'm your boy!

Hey, I'm your boy! Hey,

I'm your boy!

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, uh, why are you here?

Oh, I, uh... 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, 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 a 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 left

hood. I would guess something like a long-chain polymer.

Nylon? That's pretty close. Okay, okay, what about Nomex or... Oh, Hevlar!

Alright then, keep those secrets.

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

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

Solid reference.

Oh, 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 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.

Um... When she was inhabiting you

on the rooftop...

She hits me, and I hit her back.

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

And I'm really sorry.

I just thought you should know.

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?

Master 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 Lishy.

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

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

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

connection between Jean and someone named Sarah?

Hmm, these potatoes sound meager.

Oh, well, 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, how did that happen?

Hmm.

Sarah Gray.

Also a telepath.

Damage control to critical capacity for study and observation.

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

other human rights violations. Yes, exactly.

Wait, who are you?

Hi. Dudley. Hi.

I'm sorry.

I'm just so happy that the Dudley 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

that took her.

I gotta go.

Hey, Peter?

Be careful, all right?

Yeah, we will.

Spider-Man's name is Peter?

Jean, who do you want to be?

Her. Pink jacket.

She's too far.

You're gonna... Hop?

First, pick someone close.

And then...

The shot has a limit, but you can string them together and go as far as you want.

And when you let go, you're right back where you started.

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

Yeah, maybe one day.

You'd get really good.

Now could she just send us away?

She wasn't really a mom.

Not like that, anyway. She was, before we 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 love each other.

Here we have ice cream.

Want to mix up one chocolate?

Yeah.

Subject is awake.

Heart rate is 94 BPM.

Gene, that's not going to work anymore.

Thanks to Spider-Man.

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's he doing?

Oh, yeah. How's that?

Got eyes everywhere, kid.

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

find out what we were wrong about him.

Is that a metal horse shit?

You see when she can do what she's capable of. What, you're gonna let her

loose? Is that what you're gonna do?

Let me tell you right now, you do that, I don't want you to lose my wife.

Frank, can I see you?

as you can tell we're beyond your jump rings

Tell me what V-Mac did.

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 centered 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, then

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?

Trigger the first jump.

Tell me what VMAX is.

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

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? Do you have a big stretcher? I mean, you should do it.

Your line will work.

What about you? You guys stretch?

It's so good for you.

You ready?

What the heck?

You were right.

He's much stronger than his sister.

Increase the frequency.

You're doing very well, Jane.

Gene? Gene, can you hear me?

Gene?

You're a murderer.

The frequencies are so low. It doesn't make sense.

The last thing my sister saw was this room.

The rain waves are 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.

Move.

I can't let you do that, Bill.

The only hand.

that will wield in power our minds.

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 we need saving.

And now, so do you.

There we go.

How your friends from Damage Control developed a special weapon just for you.

They've got a whole attack force ready.

Just in case you ever get out of line.

You belong on Earth.

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

You gotta 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 get to live a normal life.

We don't get 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?

Jean, please.

This won't make it right.

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

You have 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.

You know this will bring her back, right, Kiki?

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

I'm a lot more powerful than they last tried.

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, like, very quickly.

Ways that we can't even imagine right now.

I know.

I don't think you do know.

What do you mean?

You're a really special person.

And I would 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 play these dark, monstrous things to you.

But, this is what I want you to know.

You're beautiful.

And the people who love you, we love you. Not because you're special, we 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 how bad.

I'm sorry about your sister.

I'm sorry about your aunt.

Yeah, you would have loved her.

Listen, did we lie to someone?

It doesn't mean we have to do this alone.

I mean, we can.

Trust me, I've been hearing.

Doesn't work.

Even if that's true, I have no one.

You all right?

Fine.

I'm okay.

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

Peter, Peter.

No, no, no, no, no.

Peter.

You've got to get out of here.

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

hold on. Come on, please.

Just go.

Just go.

Look at me.

Shocked today, a Spider-Man arrived at Bellevue Hospital with a bullet wound,

seemingly a death door.

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 glass? What about that? I got you

covered. Hey, 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 potion to keep you alive.

Yeah.

She's all right.

I'm really sorry for what I did. I know there's a lot of things, but sure, shit

ain't okay, all right?

I think... I think real bravery killed my day.

But that... That was something else.

You crying?

No, I ain't crying.

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

Nice kid.

Never had a friend like that.

And we're friends now.

I can't believe I just saw you cry.

I can't believe I just saw you cry.

Bullshit.

Oh, yeah.

I've been doing it all night.

Been here since you walked in. Take a look.

No kidding.

You came in there to cut to 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.

I miss you, babe.

I mean, I still got 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, Metzger's still missing.

Your friend, Black Widow, she's been helping us dig through all the records,

damage control, trying to have scrubs.

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

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 too.

Say hello to E.J. Marley for me.

Okay.

Spider-Man says so.

Uh, hey.

Oh, whoa.

Uh, flower guy, right? From the party?

I'm Peter.

Okay, hello.

Come on, come on, come on

thank you
