Original subtitles

my name is Peter Parker you don't remember me but I have something to tell you that's

gonna sound crazy but it's the truth and I know you're gonna believe me because you're

very good at telling 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 Evie take five standing by

we used to know each other we were together but something bad was gonna happen and the only way

to stop it was to make everyone forget me including you pretend like you're not the

happiest you've ever been in your entire life right now because I'm not just Peter Parker

I'm spider-man and sometimes spider-man has to do the hard thing even if it breaks Peter Parker's

heart 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 five eight five ten medium build but until then I'm just gonna be spider-man

keep coming

members of the manfred crime syndicate were apprehended by spider-man yesterday

Hey, you live on the same floor.

Oh, cool.

Does anybody ever come up here?

Not unless they like asbestos.

We've just been using it for storage.

That's perfect.

Hey, everyone, sophomore year ahead is back.

Older, wiser, flyer.

Let's go.

Whoa.

What is on your face?

How do you feel about it?

I mean, you look like an assistant coach.

You sure you want to do this, Scorpion?

Did you miss me, Spidey?

If I drop you from me, how long did you take me to get the ground?

I don't know.

You tell me.

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

Yo, Lonnie.

What happened?

The wolf.

All the evidence you're gonna need is in the trunk of his car.

You trying to take my job, Spider-Man?

Hey, you guys are the professionals.

I'm just a volunteer.

...

It's a new New York.

Thanks to Spider-Man, crime rates have dropped to a record low.

Police and Damage Patrol give much of the credit to the masked hero.

Initiate hot test.

Armed robbery at Civic Union Bank.

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

including the super-power ninja group, The Hand.

He is the pride of New York City, the hero every grown-up relies on, and every kid wants to be.

Final semester at MIT.

Oh my gosh, we're graduating in a month.

We've made so many memories.

Where do I begin?

The night swimming in the Charles River with Jim and Wiley.

The infamous food fight at the Banana Lounge.

Pulling all-nighters in stud five with MJ and Nate Dong.

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.

I think maybe someone.

I'll buy someone.

What?

No!

I mean, we're talking about downtown Brooklyn in a broad daylight.

High-profile job like that.

You know that Faza was involved.

Yeah, I hear you, but can you prove it?

Yeah, I'm going through his financial records and going following his crew every night.

Do you do anything besides work?

You know the saying, you do something you love, you don't work a day in your life.

Can't hear about this.

Mom, where's my calculator?

Trust me, all right?

Being married to the job never ends well.

Don't worry about it.

I'll be okay.

Oh, yeah?

You still getting them headaches, then?

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.

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 are my kids' names?

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

Is it Spider-Man?

I can't tell you this, sweetheart.

That means it's Spider-Man?

Oh, gosh.

Hank 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.

I got you, Spider-Man.

No, no, I don't need you.

I'm looking at it, but this very street was completely destroyed in the Battle of New York.

Oh, come on, come on.

Frank.

You goddamn right, whatnot.

It's time you gotta get the hell out of my way.

What, you mean instead of saving your life?

I need to talk about that stat-knight of bullshit again.

Nah, well, you said it, not me.

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

Let me see if people get hurt.

Who do you think is downrange of that tank, dumb-dumb?

See yourself.

Check it out.

This freaking guy.

I'm gonna kill this kid.

Wolf, you gonna stop that thing or what?

We're taking 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, Scorpion.

Move it, Dave.

Get out of the vehicle, ma'am.

I was thinking the same thing.

Spider-Man?

What's next?

Perfect question.

Clearing the building.

Enjoy the ride, Scorpion.

You won't be seen unless they lied in Supermax.

Scorpions are nocturnal, buddy.

The building is under attack.

Get the prisoner out of here now.

Save me, would you?

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

you know the whole time you've been chasing me you forgot to ask yourself a very important

mission what's in the tank

spiderman what just happened hey good job you guys okay you good i swear all the things they

said i did i don't remember doing anything it's okay it's okay look let these people take good

carry i would never hurt you okay i love you spiderman 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 him

right out the door what what about the tank stolen from the damage control warehouse

interrupted driver was a janitor who worked there you got a motive nada 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 leads on scorpion i'm gonna go

talk to someone

hi uh is this 3250 brighton beach

okay

okay i think i know what that means

take off your clothes

uh what you don't wear clothes in the mania

ditch the leotard this is not a leotard your tech said that this was your office

office this is my office get in it i'm fine thanks i'll just my office my rules this way you get to enjoy a nice relaxing

soak and i get to see that you don't have any weapons and we both win

okay

okay

yeah

really but you never take that off no you know it defeats the whole anonymous thing even for your

girlfriend or boyfriend or whatever there's a lot of conjecture on my head and super graphic artwork have you

seen the one with you and the dead mysterious i've i've 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 all by yourself all the time

no wonder you're so sad i'm not so sad

could we just talk about what 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 deal the driver and the others

who were helping it was like someone was talking to me through them like someone was looking at me

through their eyes 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 at the most or a demon or in russia we have leshy

leshy rules the forest and can possess

yes sorry whatever it is they're looking for something this is the fourth attack on the damage

control facility this month 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 a damage control restricted servers using credentials from 30 employees from the way station

they all searched for the same thing v max

v max what does that mean i 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

okay okay maybe i'll just go ask damage control myself

you know you're not completely anonymous anymore i've seen your belly button

okay hi i got an appointment with uh director metzger yes please step through the scanner

enhanced human detected superior strength superior agility heighten senses exogenous dna arachnid

please remove your face covering for identity scan oh no i can't do that that's not

man she'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 laboratories agent training oh 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 threats that face us and see only danger or you can see opportunity

wow look at that in the hands of shocker these are a nuisance

but it doesn't mean we can't learn from the technology or respect the innovation

our mission is to redirect destructive energy into something useful that's the true meaning of damage

control

be careful with that right this way i uh 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 de wolf'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

well let me guess is 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 uh i wanted to ask um the phrase v max 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

medscore 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 a facial recognition scan plan that sounds super illegal spider-man i'm gonna

pretend i didn't hear that yeah probably for the best but look if he shows his face we'll know do you

hey uh also you got any shark fire energy yeah oh no no i i i don't want any that stuff will kill you

you know all my friends were drinking them during finals and now they're addicted so i'm gonna 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 last one maybe two and then never sell me any

so

i get the message i read my list

Tried to correct it, I think I wrecked it

I'm a treasure, I love you

I'm a treasure, I love you

I'm a treasure, I love you

Oh, oh, um, 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, and ever since I've just been trying to figure out who he is

Not to unmask him to the world or anything, just to, no

You know, we get to hopefully thank him face to face

I actually created this app that monitors his sightings

Wait, you created Spidey Tracker?

He heard of it, nice

Where is Spider-Man?

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

God, there's like 50 people in our apartment

Statistically speaking, that means at least two of them are sociopaths

Which is kind of cool

Nice flowers

Oh, they're, uh, a housewarming gift

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, Maine

Uh, 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 gonna 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, MJ, that's amazing

I turned it down

What?

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

They're, 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 your principles

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 something

Great, you know

Okay

To, uh, waiting for something great

Waiting for something great

Well, the wait is over

Oh

You know

Dude, this is top shelf

Just like you

Oh, dude, oh

I'm gonna hide this

I lifted this off

And again

What if Ned needs the fire of a thousand sharks?

You mean heart palpitations

You can't save everyone

I can try

That's my girl

I'm sorry

I got it

When we get into MIT

We should live together

Yeah, for sure

Yeah, I'd love that

Be a fresh start

And we'll all be together

Definitely

Fresh start

You're gonna forget who I am

Okay, we're right

What are you talking about?

It's okay

I'm gonna come and find you

And I'll explain everything

I love sweet

I didn't tell you

When you see me again

My name is Peter Parker

And I

Like a coffee

Is there anything else?

I think you don't have to

Listen

Listen to me

That I've got powers

You know

This

This whole thing

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

Maybe I know

I don't think you do know

What do you mean?

I live here

I just don't

I'm gonna grab my stuff

Is that my shirt?

No

Fuck you dog

Shh

Hi Peter

You have 107 new alerts

Please check backlog

It's 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 an option, is it?

Mechanical web shooters

And organic webs

Cannot be used simultaneously

Come on, Peter

Alert

Senses are overloaded

Alert

Senses are overloaded

What the hell was that?

Your heightened senses

Are taking in too much information at once

Okay

It's okay

It's okay

Alright

Organic webs

Peter 2 had him

He was cool

You're cool

Oh

Oh my god

That's hideous

Okay, here we go

Okay, that didn't work

Organic webs

Come on, man

And webs

Stop

Stop

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

Two

Quick

Stop

Hurry

Hurry

Stop

Stop

I'm sorry!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

I'm looking for B-Max.

Oh!

I don't know anything.

I'll see for myself.

No!

No!

No!

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 Scorpion?

What's happening to you?

You can't sense me anymore.

You! What's going on with you Spider-Man?

I need some help over here.

Spider-Man.

The wolf, is she hurt?

Is she okay?

Is she okay?

No, don't. What is going on with you?

It wasn't Scorpion, okay?

I mean, it was, but he was possessed by whatever.

Hijacked that tank, okay?

Look, please, can I just-

Slow down.

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

You almost killed a cop.

This isn't you.

I know.

I know, I'm sorry.

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

Whatever this is, you need to fix it.

The dynamics.

We can arrange time and space in a grid,

which allows us to simulate the quirks binding into the protons.

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

Okay.

Guys, I love to tell stories, but you know, I gotta teach you some physics at some point here.

Alright, 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!

No!

Uh, excuse me, Dr. Banner.

I, um...

Uh...

You okay?

Yeah, sorry, it's just a headache.

Um, have you got a minute?

I wanted to talk to you about your inhibitor.

Oh, sure.

Don't worry.

It's got fail-safes,

so I'm not gonna turn into the big green raging monster machine in the cafeteria.

But if you do simulate this thing off, run.

No!

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.

Leeds.

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 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?

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?

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, Ned.

Thank you, Professor.

Okay.

Like reptiles and aliens and cancer.

Fourth inhibitor prototype complete.

While floating as a spider's life cycle, you can leave the spider...

Upload inhibitor beta build seven.

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 rebirth can you turn that spider stuff

all turning off video inhibitor keep an eye on my vitals inhibitor engaged suppressing arachnid

hormones to your baseline levels all right let's do this initiating field test one

that's working alert inhibitor is overheating functionality reducing yeah i'm sensing that

web grenades 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'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 sworn 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 has something that i need

oh you mean v-max

i was planning to use scorpion to get it but you keep getting in my way

i will always be in your way

are you sure about that peter parker

you know your apartment is kind of like a parody

where you think a sad single guy in his 20s might live

takeout containers

free weights

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

and of all places

a coffee cup

evie display home workstation

you spend four years erasing peter parker from existence

no wonder the spider's trying to swallow up the man

i wonder if mj would even recognize you

i think i might go see how she's doing

i'm not gonna let that happen

no her roommate was nice enough to post a new address online

how about this

how great you do

if you touch it

you have to start swinging

i'm fast

hey it's a long way

you better pick up the pace

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

in a race for the love of his life and it's not looking good

come on spidey

keep up

excuse me

sorry

analyzing jump distances for patterns

calculations complete

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

you

very clever

like i said

you're not getting near her

i'm sorry but you're in danger where's your roommate

what

where's man

uh in boston with friends why

okay good you gotta come with me

what i don't know if you're the real spider-man i'm not coming with you

we don't have time for this please come on

you need to get out of my apartment

look 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

fine

well

well

well

well

well

well

well

are you okay

yeah i'm fine

okay

uh we should be safe up here

okay well safe from what

uh 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

well i wish i could tell you i just

uh

we knew each other didn't we

what

it'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 prog and the night monkey

i mean twice as a coincidence but over and over again

we knew each other tell me i'm wrong

you're wrong

what were we were we classmates or friends or something

look i 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 and i can 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

i can't believe you figured it out

i did

hold her

you've been wanting to for so long

true love's kiss breaks the spell

and reunites to start cross lovers

i'm jay with vomit

you really are a simple spider aren't you

i see why you like her

she's uh

she's smart

funny

i'm a little dark and twisted

i mean it is sad

there is like

no thoughts of you in here

whatsoever

but you knew that didn't you

you're a monster

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 would kill to hold the person they loved one last time

stop it

now

you're running out of time peter

soon enough it won't just be your friends who don't remember peter partner

maybe you should write a letter to yourself

get out of her

who's the monster now peter

maybe you should prepare a letter to yourself

you should know that you should do it

just be hoising you

if i want you to not

to just paseing to me

that you want your last time

Come on, oh, thank God, oh, thank God, oh, I'm so sorry.

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.

And each time I want.

I can be anyone I want.

So you can't protect MJ, even for herself.

It really is a nice letter, a little heavy-handed.

I'm not bad.

I'm gonna take you someplace safe.

What?

Take me to 31651.

Lafayette Street.

Navigating to Vampire State University.

I got a look at you.

Sure?

Yep.

Okay, because I'm glad I'm sitting here and hitting you.

Oh, you're not sitting there.

I'm okay.

You're okay, you're okay, you're okay, you're okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Okay, can we just slow down for like two seconds?

We're almost there.

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

Well, not technically.

And you're lucky I believe in that stuff, okay?

Because governments have been doing it for years,

especially the French.

Are you okay?

Yeah, look, sorry,

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

You're losing it, kid.

I 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, let me ask what do you think's gonna happen.

Wait, this is your house?

Don't, don't, don't, don't.

Who the hell is that?

What the hell are you?

Well, uh, she's, um, uh, you know.

No, I don't know.

That's why I just asked you.

She's in danger, Frank.

Look, I need your help, okay?

Yeah, it looks like it.

Well, come on, you owe me.

Ah, for crap.

Aren't you sick of this story?

Staten Island.

Nah, Staten Island.

What more do you want me to do?

I literally saved your life.

Get out of your mind, kid.

What, I gotta save it twice to get a favor?

That guy could hit me with a handful of rice.

What does that sound like to you?

I had exactly what I wanted, then I went to the gun out of the drug dealer.

I know exactly what I'm talking about.

Take that drug dealer back into his voice.

Okay, fine, go ahead.

No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, 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, just watch out for the claymores.

I won't 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

It's nothing but a goddamn teenager.

And it's not just a tank, 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 you all over the street like that.

She did not beat my...

Is this your family?

But you get the hell away from that.

Look, I got one rule in this house.

You don't touch anything, you don't move anything,

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

What do you mean?

So three rules.

Mm-hmm.

If I see why you like her, then 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 run into the system.

Who is she?

Until a couple of months ago, nobody.

She was in and out of foster care, psych hospitals,

and then eventually she ran away and dropped off her 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.

Jean Grey.

Now, these are the damage control sites that she hasn't hit yet.

So if she surfaces, then my facial tracking program would 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.

She's not my girlfriend.

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

Just got to 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.

Well, what do you need to do that?

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

Hey, you've got some mouth on you.

A static mat, a tonal probe, and micro tools?

I got all that shit.

What for?

Bombs.

Bingo.

Unbelievable.

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, so.

Right, yeah.

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.

Hmph.

But why do you think you're withholding?

I don't know.

He'd tell me, mass vigilante, behind the curtain.

Um, okay, I see your point.

So what about you?

What about me?

Well, do you have, uh, Mrs. Spider-Man?

Do I have a Mrs. Spider-Man?

Um...

No.

No.

Why not?

Why not?

Because, um...

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.

To 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!

Oh!

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm okay.

I, uh...

You know what?

I'm just gonna come over.

Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Hold on, hold on.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Whoa.

What's going on?

Um...

It just keeps overheating on me.

It's been stomping me for days.

Before I switched to aerospace, I was gonna major in biochemical engineering, so...

Do you mind if I...

Oh, yeah, for sure.

Here.

How you doing?

Wow.

So, does the device itself...

I mean, does it generate any kind of radiation or a magnetic field?

Because that would definitely interfere.

Oh, yeah.

It has a micro magnetic field, but I can't interfere.

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, MJ, 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, MJ, that, like, totally worked.

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 understand.

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 side of the curtain.

A really good guy.

I might just be changing.

I don't mean to overstep. I'll, uh, let you get back to it.

You 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.

Hmm.

You know what else would work? You'd just shoot her.

Nice.

Jesus Christ.

That's got to be the goofiest shit I've ever seen in my life.

Well, you can't even take the mask off. Drink a cup of coffee.

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

Even her?

Who is she, kid?

I don't know.

Ah, it's horse shit. Who is she?

I'm telling you, I don't know who she is.

What are you doing? 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 a sentence.

You know something?

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 in Manhattan. I gotta go.

Okay.

She's gonna be okay. I'll see you through it.

Thanks, Frank.

Hey.

Hey.

You just gonna let him go himself?

You know, I think he might need you.

Yeah.

Kinda like you need him on Staten Island.

You can't hide from me forever, Bill.

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

Who are you and what do you want?

I'm Jean Grey.

And you know what I want.

Jean?

You look 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.

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

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

You're both fighting the losing battle against the monster that lives inside you.

Jean, this is the Hulk you can't defend.

No!

What the hell?

Oh, I see.

Trying to muzzle me like you muzzle yourself.

I can't let you in there.

Whatever V-Max is, you're not getting it.

Like hell I'm not.

Go around!

No!

Jean, don't do this.

Save your breath.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

I'm sick of doing.

I'm saving your...

This is way above your paper.

You're fighting the whole...

Oh shit!

Really?

That's not the problem. She is.

Did you stay home and watch at me?

Yeah, you did it.

And then she tells me I gotta come watch you.

Wait, did she actually say that to you?

Are you blushing that for Bill?

I'm not blushing.

God damn it.

I knew I should have brought a bigger gun.

That's a good idea. Bring a bigger gun.

What are you gonna do? Take him into death?

No, look.

Changing point.

First we get this on the Hulk.

Then we go after Jean.

I 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?

No.

I guess who?

Okay, whatever. Get back at this.

What the fuck I did?

What?

Do not kill her!

Don't start with that self-serve bullshit.

You know something?

I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna do it my way.

Just...

Just go!

Just go!

Don't get within 33 feet!

Hey.

You see that?

Whoa.

This guy's got issues.

Oh no.

No, not again.

Oh no.

Dr. Banner?

Is that you?

Spider-Man.

What happened?

Where am I?

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Did I do all this?

Yeah.

Did I hurt anyone?

It's not your fault.

She was in your mind.

She wasn't in control.

I lost my enhancement.

Look, here, here.

It's the only thing keeping the monster inside.

It's okay.

I got another one.

I just need you to put this on.

What is it?

It's universal.

It should work on you.

Please, sir.

There's people in the building.

Just put it on.

You okay?

My head.

I think she broke something.

Is she still in there?

No.

It's the other guy.

Bruce?

Look, I can get you out of here, okay?

I just need you to put that inhibitor on.

Get away from me!

It's coming.

I can't get through.

Yes, you can, Bruce.

Yes, you can!

Get out of the building!

Get out of the building!

Get out of the building!

Get out of the way to hide and open the door!

No!

Battle, please!

Look at me!

Good luck with that, Peter.

No lethal rounds.

Detonation.

It's Peter!

I'm your friend!

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

Where is she?

It's over, Jean.

Sarah...

Is that my gun?

Is anyone hurt?

Is it just me?

Is that not her?

Spider-Man!

You saved my life.

You saved God knows how many lives

while 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 in my mind for a moment.

Sarah was the name of someone I worked closely with every silly past.

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.

That's all right.

Well, 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 in one day.

Yeah, of course.

Thank you, Spider-Man.

My pleasure.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Audrey!

It worked!

She's in custody.

You're safe now.

You left this?

Did she want me to find it?

No.

No.

Um...

Look, I can explain-

Can you take that off, please?

What?

The mask.

I think I deserved to have this conversation with...

Peter...

Parker.

He came to the 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 gonna tell me?

Right?

So you just were gonna 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 didn't 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...

You mean everything to me.

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

I can't.

I love you.

The spell, or whatever it is that you did...

It worked.

I don'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...

I understand that you did what you had to do to protect me.

And for that, I'm so grateful.

But I...

I don't love you.

Because I don't...

I don't even know you.

I should probably...

Go now.

Really, I'm sorry, Peter.

I don't have a phone.

Um...

Do you mind taking me home?

Yeah, of course.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah, sure.

Um...

I'm gonna, uh...

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, of course.

Do you want to come up?

Just to say hi tonight, maybe?

I would love that.

Okay.

The Hulk, AKA Dr. Bruce Banner, is in custody, currently being transferred to a psychiatric ward.

So sad.

After years as a peaceful academic, the question the world asks today is, what finally snapped?

Huh?

Hey, I'm nearby.

Hey, I'm nearby.

MJ?

Yeah.

Hey, I'm nearby.

Hey, I'm nearby.

You're not gonna 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.

Hello.

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?

Yeah, and...

She was on her phone.

Yeah, I got a little distracted and the train was coming.

And I just swooped her right up.

Yeah, it was safe.

There.

Oh, my God.

Why has that never happened to me?

So, what if you're at mid-swing and you decide you need to pee?

Do you just land on top of a building?

What?

Do you drop down 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 sheer 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?

Uh...

I mean...

Not exactly, but...

Okay, okay, well then tell me what's in the web fluid.

I would guess something like a long chain polymer.

Uh...

Nylon?

That's pretty close.

Okay, okay.

What about Nomex or...

Oh, Kevlar!

Alright then, keep your secrets.

If you're referring to the incident 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's?

I ordered five Bond me's.

We have Spider-Man in the apartment.

He's gonna get fed.

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 missed you guys.

You guys really do look like best friends.

What do you mean?

You should tell him.

He can handle it.

Yeah, I know.

Um...

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...

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 that light switch went off.

What?

So you don't remember anything?

No, why?

Metzger said he remembered 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 called Bleshy.

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

Potatoes? I think that's my widow.

I think Metzger lied to me about her name.

Can you see if there's a connection between Jean and someone named Sarah?

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.

They know about what?

Her sister.

Wait, Jean has a sister.

Hmm.

Sarah Grey.

Also a telepath.

Damage control, took her into custody for study and observation.

Wow. And then you can probably guess what they mean by that.

Experimentating in other human rights violations.

Yes, exactly. Wait, who are you?

Hi, Ned Leeds. Big fan.

Hi!

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm just so happy that this sad man has friends.

Uh, thanks. 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. Did you kick her?

Just be careful, alright?

Yeah.

Uh, well...

Spider-Man's name is Peter?

Uh, well...

Spider-Man's name is Peter?

She's too far.

You'd have to hop.

Hop?

First, pick something close.

And then...

Each hop 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.

If you get really good.

How 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 redhead ones.

Shut up.

We have each other.

Then we have ice cream.

Want a chip on chocolate?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, Chief.

I have to keep you safe.

I'm sorry.

Subject is awake.

Heart rate is 94 BPM.

Jean, that's not gonna work anymore.

Thanks to Spider-Man.

Jean.

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 gonna change the world, Jean.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Oh yeah, how's that?

Got eyes everywhere, kid.

Look, Frank.

Damage control kidnapped Jean's sister.

Jean was just trying to find her.

We were wrong about everything.

Sentimental horse shit.

You've seen what she can do and what she's capable of.

What, you gonna let her loose?

Is that what you're gonna do?

I'll tell you right now, you do that, I handle it my way.

Frank, please.

Frank!

Frank!

Distance check.

40 foot clearance.

Locking down the room?

Locking down.

Disengage inhibitor.

Jean, your powers are now fully operational.

As you can tell, we're beyond your jump radius.

Tell me what VMAX is.

You're the second person to ask me about that.

I...

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?

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.

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, 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.

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 in your line of work.

What about you?

Will you guys stretch?

It's so good for you.

You ready?

Watch your head.

Where is Jean Grey?

It's jump 26.

Recordings look good.

Excuse me, sir.

We have an intruder.

You were right.

She's much stronger than a sister.

Increase the frequency.

You're doing very well, Jean.

Jean?

Jean, can you hear me?

Jean?

Her frequencies are evolving.

This doesn't make sense.

The last thing my sister saw was this room.

Shut it down.

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 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.

God, that's cool.

No, no.

Jean!

Jean!

Are your friends from Damage Control 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 they trust you.

What a little bit, Frank.

You got a problem, kid.

I just got a hold of everyone within a kilometer of the island.

Wait, what?

If you better do something, you better do it now.

I'm trying.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh.

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?

I'm both. 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 won't bring her back, right, Jean?

Don't be so sure I can't get into your mind. I'm a lot more powerful since I last tried.

You think you don't have to listen to me that I've got powers? 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? 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 can do 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. Even when it feels like you're totally alone. That's your deepest responsibility. Never forget that no matter how powerful you become.

I'm sorry about you, sister. 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't. Trust me, I've been trying. It doesn't work. Even if that's true. I have no one. You have me?

You hurt? Fine. Peter. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. Peter. Peter. Peter. No, no, no, no, no. Peter.

Peter. Gene, you gotta get out of here. Don't be looking for you. No, no, no, no, no. Please just stay with me. Come on. Hold on. Come on. Please. Gene. You're... You're gonna be okay.

Okay. Just go. Just go. Just go. Look at me.

Shocked today. A Spider-Man arrived at Bellevue Hospital with a bullet wound. Seemingly a death's 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.

Frank. Where am I? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hey. Where's my mask?

I got you covered. Hey. You're good? Where's Gene? Is she okay? Yeah, she's okay. Yeah, she's okay. Yeah, she's okay. Where is she?

Yeah. I think maybe she just left. She was, uh, using her magic voodoo shit to keep you alive.

Yeah. She's alright. I'm sorry.

Frank, it's okay. I'm just, just, I'm really sorry for what I did. No, Frank, it's okay.

They don't miss a lot of things, but it sure as shit ain't okay, alright?

I, I seen, I seen real bravery. Kid, my date. That was something else.

Are you crying? No. I ain't, you know, you look the exact way I thought you would.

You're a nice kid. Never had a friend like that.

And we're friends now. I can't believe I just saw you cry.

I saw you cry like talking about. Oh shit.

Oh, yeah. They've been doing it all night. Been here since you walked in. Take a look.

Yo, kid. When you came in, they had to cut through the suit, but when you're ready to split, I got a plan.

Hey, it's Spider-Man!

I'm not gonna do this alone anymore. I miss you, mate.

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, but your friend, Black Widow, she's been helping us lead through all the records damage control tried to have scrubbed.

Have you dropped by her office the other day? And how was that?

Well, uh, 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 me. 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 hello.

Hi.

Uh, hey. Oh, oh, uh, flower guy, right? From, from the party?

It.

I'm Peter. Okay. Hello?

Peter.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Ooh.
