'Back then, nothing seemed to go right for me. Now,...' Cool! Look! It's Spider-Man! Super cool! Wow! '..people really like me.' Hey, stick around! It'll start again in a few minutes. Nah. That's OK. 'The city is safe and sound. I guess I've had something to do with that.' 'My Uncle Ben would be proud.' 'I still get to school, top of my class.' The Hamiltonian shows us that the energy levels are perturbed by the electric field. From the form of this matrix, we can see...? Miss Stacy? That only the 'm' equals zero quantum states are affected. Correct! Good work, Miss Stacy. Parker,... you got something to add? No, sir. 'And I'm in love with the girl of my dreams.' Hi. Um,... Miss Watson left a ticket for me. Peter Parker. Excuse me. Sorry. Thank you. Sorry. (INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) Oh! I'm so nervous. (CHUCKLES) # They say that falling in love # Is wonderful # It's wonderful # So they say (APPLAUSE) That's my girlfriend! # And with the moon up above # It's wonderful # It's wonderful # So they tell me # I can't recall who said it # I know I never read it # I only know # They tell me that love is grand # And # The thing that's known as romance # Is wonderful # Wonderful # In every way # So they # Say # (APPLAUSE) I thought she was... Good? Yeah! Harry? Harry! I need to talk to you. Explain things. Tell it to my father. Raise him from the dead. I'm your friend, Harry. I cared about your father. MJ! Oh, Peter! Congrats! Oh! Was I good? Good? You were great! You were... You said "great"! I love my flowers. They're beautiful. And those are from Harry. Was he here tonight? Um, yeah, I... I ran into him outside. What's with you guys, anyway? It's complicated. Tell me again, was I good? I was so nervous! My knees were shaking! Your knees were fine. The applause wasn't very loud. Yes, it was! It's the acoustics. It's all about diffusion. It keeps the sound waves from grouping. When sound waves propagate, then it's like an... You are such a nerd. "(BEEPING)" Wow. Ooh! (CHUCKLES) Did you see that one? You know what? Hmm? I'd like to sing on stage for the rest of my life, with you in the first row. I'll be there. Tell me you love me. I love you. I love you so much. I always have. (GIGGLES) Ready? Yep. "(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)" '(TRAIN RUMBLES PAST)' '(TRAIN RUMBLES PAST)' You can't hide here, Flint. I'm just here to see my daughter. You are an escaped convict. The cops are looking for you. You're not getting near her. You're nothing but a common thief. You maybe even killed a man? It wasn't like that. It wasn't. I had good reason for what I was doing and that's the truth. You and the truth, sitting in prison, having three meals a day. I live in the presence of great truth, and that is the truth that you left behind, right there in that bedroom. (DOOR CREAKS) Oh. Penny. I missed you. I missed you, too, Daddy. I promise I'll make you healthy again. Whatever it takes, I'll get the money. You get out of here. Now. '(SIREN BLARES)' I'm not a bad person. I just had bad luck. (DOORBELL RINGS) Peter! What is it? It's MJ. I'm gonna ask her to marry me. Oh, Peter! Oh! The day your Uncle Ben asked me to marry him, he was so scared. And excited. And very young. And I loved him so fiercely. And you said yes, right? No. I wanted to say yes, but I said no. I wasn't ready. Neither was he. So we took our time, looked forward to it. Didn't wanna run into something with nothing to count on but love. A man has to be understanding and put his wife before himself. Can you do that, Peter? Yeah. I think I can. Then... you have my blessing. Oh. I hope you've considered a proper proposal. Your uncle had it all planned. He took me to the beach one Sunday. Oh, he was a knockout in his bathing suit! (CHUCKLES) And I, I didn't look too bad myself. We were very good swimmers, and it was a beautiful day and he said, "Let's swim to the island." And at the island, we found a perfect spot by an old tree and we lay down and looked up at the sky. And then he said, "Close your eyes, May." And I did. And then he said, "Open them." And I did. And he was holding this ring,... ..dazzling in front of me. I thought it was the sun. We'd be married 50 years... ..come August if... So,... (SNIFFS) ..I hope you'll make it very special for Mary Jane. Do something she'll never forget. Give her this. Go on. Take it. Whoa! (BUS HORN HONKS) (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) Harry. You knew this was coming, Pete. Listen to me. I didn't kill your father. He was trying to kill me. He killed himself. Shut up! (GASPS) "(BEEPING)" I'm still here, Peter! Whoa! Hate those things. (SCREAMS) (YELLS) (YELLS) Harry? Harry? Harry! Oh, my God. Harry! Come on! God! Great. Defib. 200. And clear. No response. Recharge. Let's go again. And clear. No response. Just recharge and do it one more time. And clear. Captain Stacy. What's this? Flint Marko, the guy we tied to the Ben Parker homicide. What about him? He just broke out of Rikers. And? He's on the run in the marshlands. I think we got him. (DOG SNARLS) (WHISTLE BLOWS) There he is! (DOGS BARK) (DOG GROWLS) You two, take the west side! Tommy, take the east! Where'd he go? (RUMBLING) (BUZZING / WHIRRING) Capacitors charged. Right. Donnie, we got a fluctuation on one. There's a change in the silicon mass. A bird. It'll fly away when we fire it up. Initiating demolecularisation. (WHIRRING) (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) How is he? He's gonna be OK. But there's been some memory impairment. Particularly his short-term memory. He can't remember the accident or anything that happened recently. Is it permanent? It could be. Only time will tell. He's awake, if you want to see him. Oh, maybe I should wait. Ah, it's fine. Just keep it brief. I want him to rest. Hey, buddy. Hey. Hit my head. Yeah. Doctor said I was in an accident. Hit-and-run. I don't remember much of anything. My father, he died, right? This is all so weird. Hi. I got here as fast as I could. I know that face! How you doing? I don't know. The last thing I remember, I was fine. Somewhere... You're still fine. We love you, Harry. It feels like somehow I've been gone for a really long time... ..and now I'm back home. It's good to have you back. I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to ask you guys to scoot, OK? OK. Alright, thank you. Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Yeah. Great. Get some sleep. I think he's gonna be fine. I think so. And you guys seem great. Yeah. You have lovely friends. My best friends. I'd give my life for them. . . . . . (BREATHES) . . . . . (KNOCK ON DOOR) Yeah? 'It's me.' Oh! Hey! 'Peter, you know I can't open the door.' It's stuck again? 'Just come on and help me.' I'm coming. Hey. The review... Oh. They hated it. They hated me. Well, they can't hate you. "The young Miss Watson is a pretty girl. Easy on the eyes but not on the ears. Her small voice didn't carry past the first row." That's ridiculous! I was right there. You were in the first row. Yeah, that's... Listen. You were great. That's a critic. This is something you're gonna have to get used to. Believe me, I know. Spider-Man gets attacked all the time. This isn't about you. This is about me. It's about my career. I know. I'm saying you can't let it... You can't let it bring you down. You just gotta believe in yourself. You get right back on the horse... Don't give me the horse thing! Try and understand how I feel. It's just... (SIGHS) I look at these words... ..and it's like my father wrote them. (RADIO) "All cars in the vicinity of 54th and 6th Avenue, please report." "Crane out of control. Approach with caution." "Go get 'em, tiger"? '(POLICE SIRENS)' I'm sorry. (LAMP RATTLES) (SIRENS WAIL) Oh, my God. Seven Adam to Central. That crane job, it's bigger than we thought. We're gonna need a major mobilisation right away! (CRANE GROANS) Shut it down at the generator! Now! (ROCK MUSIC) OK, Gwen, I've got a secret. It's my copier. What is that thing doing in my background? (SCREAMING) (SCREAMING) (SIRENS WAIL) Captain Stacy. They can't shut down the crane. Get Edison on the phone. Kill the power to the whole block. Are you alright? It's coming back! (PEOPLE SHOUT) (PEOPLE SCREAM) (SCREAMS) Oh, no! Oh, my God! (PEOPLE GASP) (SCREAMS) Oh, my God. That's Gwen. What? 'Let's set up triage, 400 yards.' What's she doing up there? I don't know. I saw her last night. She said she had a modelling gig. Who are you? It's Brock, sir. Edward Brock Junior. I work at the Daily Bugle. And I'm dating your daughter. (GASPS) (GASPS / SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) Oh! (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) (GASPS) 'Way to go!' 'Spider-Man!' You OK? Yeah. I'm fine. Thank you. Hey, Spidey, hold on! Bugle needs a photo. Thank God you're OK. Daddy! Hey. I'm the new guy. New guy? Sweetheart... Are you OK? From now on, I'll be taking shots of you for the Bugle. So, um, smile. Are you smiling? Just kidding! They got a guy. Who? Parker? Um, yeah, look, between you and me, the guy's kind of an amateur. Have you noticed his stuff makes you look a little bloated? Just... a little chunky. OK. But you don't have to worry about that any more, buddy! . Dazzle me. Wow! Zap! Just a little something the boys in the ad department and I whipped up. As you know, circulation at the Bugle has been pretty good. Though not as good as The New York Times or the Daily News or the Post or several smaller... Get on with it! "(BUZZING)" What? (COMM) "Your blood pressure." "Your wife told you to watch the anger." You tell my wife... (SOFTLY) Thank you. So, I propose, um, this campaign. Daily Bugle... That's obvious. "It's hip, it's now." I came up with that one. Um... "It's wow." That's actually Erickson. He goes crazy. We gave him a couple lattes, he's like...! "And how." That's me again. "(BUZZING)" (COMM) "Time to take your pill." "(BUZZING)" "Not that one." "(BUZZING)" "Not that one." "(BUZZING)" "Drink plenty of water." (SOFTLY) Thank you. Continue. # Betty-Betty bo-Betty # Banana-nana fo-fetty # He's busy. Oh, no. I'm here to talk to you. What's that smell? A little something called Nice and Easy. What's on you? It's called Go Away. Get out! That is the dumbest idea you've ever had! You have had some doozies! Blood pressure. Hey, where are you going? Who are you? You hired him last week. Freelance. I did? What's that smell? It's Brock, sir. Edward Brock Jr. Who? I like that shirt. It's the crane accident. He likes my shirt. Hey, Betty. You better get in there. New guy. He's trying to sell some Spidey photos. Oh, thanks. Parker! You're late, maybe too late. Bruckner beat you to it. Brock, sir. I got you this. But he got me this. Wait, how did you get that? How'd you get that high? Climbed. Nearly fell off a flagpole. A flagpole? Which one do we use? I like Bernstein's. It's better. Cheaper, too. Congratulations! I'll pay you 50 bucks. I'm your man. I know more about what makes a good picture than anyone. See, photography is not just about, no offence, flagpoles, whatever. It's about lighting, composition, drama. I want a staff job, sir. I have a girl that I intend to marry and I guess, I don't know, I have this stupid little dream of working with one of the greatest newspaper editors of our time,... ..J Jonah Jameson. Well, we do have an opening. Johnson quit. Remember? You fired him. Whatever. I know what makes a good picture. I've been here a long time. If there's a staff job, I think I deserve it. He's right. Peter's been with us for years. He's done a great job. You want a job and you want a job. Anybody care what I want? I do. Shut up. Get out. I want the public to see Spider-Man for the two-bit criminal he is. He's a fake. He's full of stick-'em. Catch him in the act. Spider-Man with his hand in a cookie jar. Whoever brings me that photo gets a job. What are you waiting for? Go! I'm on it, boss. You'll never get that shot. Oh, we'll see. (HORNS HONK) You know, I guess one person can make a difference. Enough said. Welcome home, Harry. Thank God you're alright. Thanks, Bernard. Bernard. Sir. Got you a homecoming present. Wow. It's your old ball. Yeah. Thanks, buddy. Hey, we were pretty good in the backyard, weren't we? We were terrible and we tried out for the varsity team. Yeah. For the cheerleaders. Right. Hey, do I have any girlfriends? I don't know. You don't? Hey, Bernard. Do I have any girlfriends? Not that I know of, sir. It's a pretty cool pad, huh? It's OK. Looks like I'm not hurting for money. No. Maybe I can turn this no-girlfriend thing around. (LAUGHS) He always appreciated how you helped me through high school. I just wish I could remember more about him. Well, he loved you. That's the main thing. Hey, let's watch the game in the kitchen, get something to eat. OK. Oh! Heads up! Did you see that? Still got the moves. Yeah! (HORNS HONK) (PIANO MUSIC) # So they say # And with a moon up above # It's wonderful # It's wonderful # So they tell me # (PIANO MUSIC STOPS) Why are we stopping? What is she doing here? Gary was supposed to call her agent. Hi, honey. We tried to reach you. I'm sorry. One critic? No, all the papers, dear. Mary Jane, sit down. Let's explain it. If you'd like, we could, um,... ..we could say you became ill. (PIANO MUSIC) That was so poorly handled. Yeah. Let's just rehearse. (CHEERING) 'Alright, Spidey!' (CHEERING CONTINUES) (SIGHS) . (MARCHING BAND MUSIC / CHEERING) Spidey! Spidey! Yeah! Whoo! (CROWD) Spidey, Spidey, Spidey! Whoo! (CROWD CHANTS) Excuse me, miss, can I please see that gorgeous smile? Hi, Eddie. (CHUCKLES) You're so beautiful. This is front-page stuff. OK, I've gotta practise. See you later, OK? How about tonight? Not tonight. Why not? What about that amazing, amazing night that we had? (LAUGHS) We had a coffee, Eddie. Hey, beautiful. One more. Everything OK? Yeah, I'm fine. You're not still mad at me, are you? No, Peter, I'm proud of you. Hey, I'm gonna be swinging in from over there. Oh, yeah? So you know where to look. Give 'em a good show. Don't worry about that review. We're gonna be laughing about it tomorrow night, I promise. Yeah. "(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)" Isn't that that guy from that prison break? He fits. Hey, you! Halt! Cover the back! Be careful. Come on, let's go.

(GUNSHOTS) (ROARS) (GUNSHOTS CONTINUE) (ROARS) (CAR ALARM WAILS) People of the City of New York, I am here today because I fell 62 storeys and someone caught me. Someone who never asks for anything in return. Someone who doesn't even want us to know who he is. Hey, MJ. Harry! Hey. Where's Pete? Um, taking somebody's picture, I guess. Right. I'm so happy to see you. You look so good, Harry. I've never felt better. It's a weird feeling not knowing who you are. Bump on the head, I'm as free as a bird. (LAUGHS) Will you bump me on the head? Bop. Hey, Pete said you're in a play. You came. You sent me flowers. I did? I'll come again tonight. You can't. I was let go. What happened? I wasn't very good. This is embarrassing, but I once wrote you a play in high school. (LAUGHS) You wrote me a play? Yeah. That's the sweetest thing. So I ask you, when you're dropping without a parachute or your store's being robbed or your house is on fire, who is it that breaks your fall, puts out the flames and saves your children? (ALL) Spider-Man! They love me. Let's hear it for your one and only friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man! (CHEERING) (BIG BAND MUSIC) Hey! What's up? Alright! How you doin'? Shazam! (CHEERING) Whoo-hoo! Hey, guys! (KIDS) Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Hey, there! Hi! Kiss him! Kiss him! (ALL) Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him! Go ahead, lay one on me. Really? Yeah, they'll love it. Kiss him! Kiss him! No, Spider-Man, no! Alright. (CROWD CHEERS) I hope Pete's getting a shot of this. (CHUCKLES) Blah! Hey, hey. Are you OK? Yeah, I'm fine. (WOMAN SCREAMS) (GASPS) Hey, man, we've got something on the roof. Agh! (ROARS) (GUN COCKS) (ROARS) (GASPS) (SCREAMS) Jig's up, pal. I don't wanna hurt you. Leave now. I guess you haven't heard. I'm the sheriff around these parts. OK. Ugh! Uh-oh. Ow! (HORN HONKS) Help! Where do all these guys come from? . (CAR HORN HONKS) (PEOPLE CHATTER) (GASPS) (CLASSICAL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) Um, pardon. Bonsoir. Le monsieur, a-t-il une reservation? I'm sorry, I don't speak... But this is a French restaurant, non? Oui. (LAUGHS) Name, please? Parker, Peter. (WHISTLE BLOWS) Ah, here we are. Table for two, Pecker. Parker. That is what I said. Pecker. Um, I have a request. Hmm. My girlfriend will be coming and I have this ring. Ah! Oh. Allo. Oh, so, you want to pop the question tonight? Yes, and I want to do something very special. I love it. Romance. I am French. When I signal you, if you'd bring some champagne, with the ring... ..in the bottom of her glass? Perfect. Magnifique. Also, I thought at the same time, if the musicians would play this song. Their favourite. Um, and take good care of the ring. Ah, oui, with my life, monsieur. S'il vous plait. Oui. I like you. (CHUCKLES) Thank you. Bonne chance. Bonne chance. Oh. OK... Oh, would you like some champagne? How'd that get in there? (CHUCKLES) Oh, don't cry. Hi. Look at you. Wow, beautiful. Thanks. This place in your budget? Oh, well, it's a special occasion. You're on Broadway. I don't feel like much of a star tonight. Well, you are a star and you've earned it. Peter,... ..you have no idea how I feel now. No, I know exactly how you feel. Listen, I have been through this. It happens to me all the time. I see Spider-Man posters in the window, kids running around with me on their sweaters. It's a big Halloween item. I don't know, I guess I've become something of an icon. Like yesterday, they kept screaming, "Spider-Man, Spider-Man." I don't know, you know... I'm thinking to myself, "I'm just a nerdy kid from Queens." "Do I deserve this?" Hi, Pete. (LAUGHS) Hi. Hi. My parents and I were just having dinner here. Oh. Hello. I'm Gwen Stacy. This is Mary Jane Watson. Oh! It's so nice to finally meet you. Pete talks about you all the time. Oh? Gwen is my lab partner in Dr Connors's class. Pete's something of a genius. I'd be completely lost without him. Which actually reminds me, Pete, if you've got a picture of my kiss with Spider-Man, could you bring it to class? I'd really love it. For my portfolio. After all, who gets kissed by Spider-Man, right? I can't imagine. Well, it was lovely to meet you. Good night. Good night. Oh, she's in my science class. It's not her best subject. What? How come you never mentioned her? She's your lab partner. You saved her life. She thinks you're a genius and she had her polished fingernails all over you. Or didn't you notice? And she gave Spider-Man the key to the city. I'll never forget that. She's just a girl in my class. Let me ask you something. When you kissed her, who was kissing her,... ..Spider-Man or Peter? What do you mean? You know exactly what I mean. That was our kiss. Why would you do that? You must have known how it'd make me feel. Do you wanna push me away? Push you away? Why would I wanna push you away? I love you. You're my girlfriend. She's a girl in my class, MJ. I don't feel very well. I'm sorry. I have to go. No. Where are you going? Please don't follow me. Here we are. (PHONE) "Hi, it's MJ. Sing your song at the beep. Beep." "(BEEP)" Hello, um,... ..I wish you'd pick up the phone. I don't know what's going on.

"This is Detective Neil Garrett from the 32nd precinct." "I'm calling on behalf of Captain Stacy. He'd like to speak with you." Originally, we thought that this man, Dennis Carradine, was your husband's killer. We were wrong. What? Turns out Mr Carradine was only an accomplice. The actual killer is still at large. What are you talking about? This is the man who killed your husband. His name is Flint Marko. He's a small-time crook who's been in and out of prison. You got this wrong. Two days ago, he escaped. He confessed his guilt to a cell mate and we have a couple of witnesses who will corroborate the story. (BANGS ON GLASS) No, wait, son. You don't wanna do this. No! Hey, get in! What are you doin'? (GUNSHOT) Would you put these photos away, please? I'm sorry, Mrs Parker. I know this isn't easy but, please, be patient with us. We're doing our job. We will catch him. No, you're not doing your job. I watched my uncle die and we chased the wrong man. Now you say you had suspicions for two years? Witnesses? Why weren't we told about this? Settle down. No, I have no intention of settling down! This man killed my uncle and he's still out there! (TAPPING) (RADIO) "L-20 Parkway. All officers in the vicinity, please report."

And do something you'll regret, like... with that other guy. He had a gun on me. I made a move and he fell. I told you that. I'm not accusing you of anything. (RADIO) "10-22, auto at..."

What happened? Spider-Man killed him. Spider-Man? I don't understand. Spider-Man doesn't kill people. What happened? I, um... He... He was... I thought that you'd feel... He deserved it, didn't he? I don't think it's for us to say whether a person deserves to live or die. Aunt May, he killed Uncle Ben. Uncle Ben meant the world to us, but he wouldn't want us living one second with revenge in our hearts. It's like a poison. It can... it can take you over.

I was trying to figure out what to say. If it's a woman you're calling, then, you say, "You're a good woman. I am good man." Hmm? Hi, Pete. Hi. He's calling a woman. Mary Jane?

It's intense. (LAUGHS) So? You want the part? I'd love to be in your play. It's yours. (LAUGHS) You know, there's not even a scar. Barely. Sorry. Me, too. I didn't mean to do that. No, it's OK. Please, forgive me. Mary Jane. Mary Jane! Mary Jane, please. I'm sorry. Just... 'You've taken your eye off the ball.' 'Harry.' What have you done? Avenge me! My father, he died, right? Yeah. 'I wish I could remember more about him.' 'Well, he loved you, that's the main thing.' 'I swear on my father's grave, Spider-Man will pay.' Harry. Remember me? Yes, Father, I remember. I was right about her. About Peter. About everything. You know what you must do. Make him suffer. Make him wish he were dead. First, we attack his heart! "(PHONE RINGS)" (PHONE) "Hi, it's me. Sing your song at the beep." "(BEEP)" (PHONE) "Hey, MJ, it's Peter." "Um, I want to talk to you about last night." "I don't know what I was thinking." "I know you were just there to help, and... ..I, um,... ..I don't know, I want to see you." (GASPS) (SCREAMS) If you want Peter to live, you're gonna do something for me. (KNOCK AT DOOR) 'Yeah?' It's Ursula. 'Come in.' Hi, Pete. Hi. There's a phone call for you. It's Mary Jane. She called back. Really? Yeah. I put the phone on top of the thing. Thanks. OK. Hey. (PHONE) "Hi." I'm so glad you called. I've been trying to... "Can you meet me?" You bet. "Now?" OK. Where? "At the bridge in the park." On my way. "OK." OK. Hey, I love you.

I don't wanna see you anymore. What are you talking about? I don't know. I'm lonely. You aren't there for me. I can't do this. (SNIFFS) It's over. No. Please. Please don't say that. I know I've been selfish, but I can do better. I can change. It's not that simple. We love each other. I love you! We have problems. When people have problems, they work it out. They talk to each other. Look, you see? (SIGHS) You know what this is? You know what I want for us? There's someone else! I've fallen in love with someone else. Bravo. She says that she's lonely, that I'm not there for her. There's another guy. (EXHALES) Well, how are you holding up? Not good. Harry, I was gonna propose to her. Really? Well, she's been going through a tough time lately. Career. I mean, a singing waitress at a jazz club? It's not exactly what she had in mind for herself. Singing waitress? What are you talking about? Well, she was fired from the show. Didn't she tell you? She was fired? She was fired and she told you but she didn't tell me? Well, that's why I asked you here, Pete. I'm the other guy. What? Look, she came to me one afternoon, troubled. She needed someone and I was there for her. I've always loved her, Pete. You know that. It just started. I don't believe this. I don't believe you. I'm really sorry. I just thought you should know. Can I warm you up? Yes, please. How's the pie? So good. (HORN HONKS) (THUNDER RUMBLES) Would you like a drink? I'm sorry. What was I thinking? Bad for the public image, right? What did you do to her? I did what you failed to do. I was there for her. Mary Jane and I, we understand each other. She doesn't know what you are. Peter, she knows me very well. And when she kissed me, it was just like she used to kiss me. That taste... Strawberries. (METALLIC CLANG) How'd you like that, Spidey? That all you got? Stings, doesn't it? I protected you in high school. Now I'm gonna kick your little ass. Ooh. You gonna kill me like you killed my father? I'm done trying to convince you. You took him from me. He loved me. No, he despised you. You were an embarrassment to him. Oh... Look at little Goblin Jr. Gonna cry? (ROARS) "(DEVICE BEEPS)" Spider-Man used to make me feel safe. Now I'm afraid to walk home! My son thought the world of this guy. My daughter loves Spider-Man. Who's she supposed to look up to now? This is the guy they gave the key to the city to? I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye. Cheers to the new staff photographer! I just got lucky. This is so wonderful for you. Well, you might wanna tell JJ to make a little more wall space. (BOTH LAUGH) Oh, good morning. It's a beautiful day, huh? What was it you said? I'll never get that picture. There's your hero. Huh! I never thought he'd really do that. See? Right there. You made a judgement call. You've got to see it as it is. Funny you should say that cos I was looking through some old photos. It looks very... similar. OK. (CHUCKLES) Well, I've got to get back to work. You're trash, Brock. Excuse me? Your picture's a fake. You are such a Boy Scout. When are you gonna give a guy a break? (ALL GASP) You want forgiveness? Get religion. What's going on here? Are you guys alright? (CHUCKLES) Yeah, no, we're just horsing around. Look, I'm begging you. If you do this, I will lose everything. There's not a paper in town that will hire me. You should have thought of that earlier. What are you doing, Peter? Show this to your editor. Tell him to check his source next time. It's fake. Empire State Photographic Department confirms it. Pack your things. Get out of my building. I was just trying... You're fired! You know we're gonna have to print a retraction now. I haven't printed a retraction in 20 years! "(PHONE RINGS)" Oh, hello. (PHONE) "Mr Parker, Dr Connors here." Oh, Dr Connors! How are you? (SNORES) Quite a specimen you left me, Parker. Its chemistry is not unlike the chondritic meteorites of the '70s. Thanks. Mmm. That's good. "You know what, Parker?" Parker? Get me some milk. It amplifies characteristics of its host. Mmm. Hey, give me another cookie. "Especially aggression." Oh! Mmm. This could be dangerous. Peter, you didn't keep any, did you? You got any with nuts? I have nuts. I could make some. Go make me some. Peter? No, no, no. Course not. Your shots are so good. I'd love to shoot you sometime. Peter Parker! Peter... Parker! Miss Brant, that's not the position I hired you for. Black-suit Spider-Man! Peter, these are incredible! We've gotta have these. I'll pay you the usual rate. If you want the shots, I'll take the staff job, double the money. # "People Get Up And Drive Your Funky Soul" - James Brown # Get on up # Get yourself together, drive that funky soul # Everybody needs somebody # Drive that funky soul # Everybody needs somebody # Drive that funky soul # Get up # Raise up together # Drive that funky soul # Raise up, raise up together # Drive that funky soul # Raise up # Raise up together # Drive that funky soul # Raise up # Penny.

(YELLS) (SCREAMS) Who are you? I don't know. (SIGHS) '(BELL TOLLS)' (THUNDER RUMBLES) It's Brock, sir. Edward Brock Jr. I come before you today,... ..humbled... ..and humiliated,... ..to ask you for one thing. I want you to kill Peter Parker.

You don't seem to have changed the room around very much. Course, there's not much you could do, is there? When we spoke on the phone, I... sensed something was bothering you, so I thought I'd just come by. How is Mary Jane? I don't know. I never heard from you. Did you ever propose? You said... a husband's gotta put a wife before himself. I'm not ready. But what happened? Oh, you seemed so sure. Yeah. I, um... (SIGHS) I hurt her, Aunt May. I don't know what to do. Well, you start by doing the hardest thing. You forgive yourself. I believe in you, Peter. You're a good person. And I know you will find a way to put it right. In time. (GRUNTS) End of the line, Spider-Man. (ROARS) I want him dead, too, Flint. That's why I've been looking for you. Oh, yeah, I know all about you. Like the fact that Spider-Man won't let you help your poor daughter. It's just... That doesn't seem right to me. Look, I wanna kill the spider, you wanna kill the spider. Together, he doesn't stand a chance. Interested? Yeah. . . . . So,... where to? (GASPS) All New York is holding its breath as the hostage crisis continues to unfold. (WOMAN) Just 30 minutes ago, police came across this startling sight, a young woman, held hostage in a taxi suspended 80 storeys above the ground in what appears to be a giant web. (MAN) Every attempt by the police to rescue the hostage has been thwarted by the Sandman. (PEOPLE SCREAM) Compounding the danger is the appearance of a strange black-suited figure. Early reports had believed him to be the black-suited Spider-Man, but he has now been identified as something entirely different. The hostage has been identified as Mary Jane Watson, an actress recently seen in a brief stint on Broadway. We're now going to take you live to the scene with Jennifer Dugan. We're only about 100 feet away now. Wait. There seems to be some kind of activity in the web. They seem to be creating some kind of gigantic lettering. Spider-Man's being challenged to some sort of confrontation. That raises questions about what chance he'd stand against such... (SIGHS) Harry. I need your help. I can't take them both, not by myself. You don't deserve my help. Harry,... she needs us. Get out. If I may, sir? I've seen things in this house I've never spoken of. What are you trying to tell me? The night your father died, I... I cleaned his wound. The blade that pierced his body... ..came from his glider. I know you're trying to defend your father's honour, but there's no question that he died by his own hand. I loved your father... ..as I have loved you, Harry. As your friends love you. (WIRES SNAP) (GASPS) (WIRES SNAP) (GASPS) (WIRES SNAP) (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) (ALL GASP) (SCREAMS) Look! (GASPS) (CHEERING) (ALL) Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Spider-Man! (CHEERING) He seems to have come out of nowhere to answer the prayers of the city. Just when all hope seemed to be lost. (GASPS) Peter. They're gonna kill us both. I'm gonna get you outta this. Watch out! (SCREAMS) (ROARS) Hey, Parker. My God. Eddie. Ooh, my spider sense is tingling! (GASPS) (GROANS) If you know what I'm talking about. (LAUGHS) (ALL GASP) (SCREAMS) We can find a way to settle this. You're so right. I'm thinking humiliation. Kinda like how you humiliated me. Do you remember? Do you remember what you did to me? (CREAKING) (GASPS) (SCREAMS) (LAUGHS) You made me lose my girl. Now I'm gonna make you lose yours. How's that sound, tiger? (ROARS) (ROARS) (GRUNTS) (ROARS) (GRUNTS) (CREAKING) (GASPS) (CREAKING) (GASPS) Hold on, Mary Jane! (RUMBLING) (ALL SCREAM) (ALL CONTINUE TO SCREAM) (GROWLS) (SCREAMS) Mary Jane! (SCREAMS) (ROARS) (CHOKES) (GASPS) (PEOPLE GASP) It's hard to believe what's happening. (THUDDING) The brutality of it. I... I don't know how he can take any more. This could be a tragic day for the people of New York. It could be the end of Spider-Man. Hmm? "(BEEPING)" (ROARS) (CHEERING) Awesome! Wicked cool! You came. Looks like just in the nick of time. Couple of minutes ago wouldn't have been so bad. What are you gonna do? (ROARS) (SCREECHES) I may need some help over here. I'm a little busy right now. (ROARS) Gimme your hand! (ROARS) (ALL GASP) Parker! Parker, where...? I need a photographer. Hey, kid, you want a job? Why would I want a job? I'm just a kid. Alright, how much for the camera? One hundred bucks. A hundred bucks? (THUDDING) (CROWD GASPS) Alright, you little crook. Here. What the...? Film's extra. . (ROARS) Gotcha! (GASPS) (WIRES SNAP) Pete, up top! (SCREAMS) (ROARS) (SCREAMS) Mary Jane! This thing got any more? Hang on! To what? Go, buddy! Got her! (SCREAMS) (BOTH GROAN) (CHEERING) Are you OK? Yeah. Good. (HARRY) Hey, Pete! (ROARS) Am I interrupting? (ROARS) (GROANS) (SCREAMS) (GROANS) (CHEERING) '(GROWLING)' (GASPS) (GASPS) (SCREECHES) Never wound... what you can't kill. Eddie, the suit,... you gotta take it off. Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you? (GROANS) I know what it feels like. It feels good. The power. Everything. But you'll lose yourself. Let it go. I like being bad. It makes me happy. (ROARS) (PIPES CLANG) (SCREAMS) (SCREECHES) (BELL TOLLS) (SCREECHES) (ROARS) (GROANS) Harry!

What are you doing? No! (ROARS) Eddie! (SCREECHES) Harry. Mary Jane. I'm gonna get help. No. Stay. (PIPE CLATTERS) I didn't want this. But I had no choice. We always have a choice. You had a choice when you killed my uncle. My daughter was dying. I needed money. I was scared. (TAPS ON GLASS) 'I told your uncle all I wanted was the car.' What is it? I need your car. He said to me, "Why don't you just put down the gun and go home?" 'I realise now he was just trying to help me.' 'Then I saw my partner running over with the cash.' 'And the gun was in my hand.' (GUNSHOT) Get in! 'I did a terrible thing to you.' 'I spent a lot of nights wishing I could take it back.' I'm not asking you to forgive me. I just want you to understand. I've done terrible things, too. (SIRENS WAIL) I didn't choose to be this. The only thing left of me now... ..is my daughter. I forgive you. Hey, pal. How you doin'? Been better. We'll get you through this. No. I should never have hurt you. Said those things. None of that matters, Peter. You're my friend. Best friend. Harry. 'Whatever comes our way, whatever battle we have raging inside us, we always have a choice.' 'My friend Harry taught me that. He chose to be the best of himself.' 'It's the choices that make us who we are, and we can always choose to do what's right.' (JAZZ MUSIC) # I'm through with love # I'll never fall again # Said adieu to love # Don't ever call again # For I must have you or no-one # And so I'm through with love... # I've locked my heart # I'll keep my feelings there # I have stocked my heart # With icy, frigid air # And I mean to care for no-one...#
