01x18 - The Rise of Doc Ock: Part 4

[bunniefuu]

SPIDER-MAN:
New York Penitentiary,

home to some of the city's
most dangerous criminals,

and an almost impossible place
to break out of.

Lucky for us, we're trying to break in.

Let's save the word "lucky"
for after we're finished, okay?

Tell me again why we're doing this.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Norman Osborn claims
he destroyed the Jackal.

But you and I know the Jackal's
really Professor Raymond Warren.

So if the Jackal's gone,
Raymond should be too.

Unless, of course, Norman is lying.

Norman Osborn? Lie? Never!

[GRUNTS]

You joke, but I haven't been able
to convince Harry otherwise.

So if we find Warren here tonight,

it'll go a long way to proving my point.

Norman Osborn has people everywhere
who are willing to lie for him.

So I won't believe it until I see it
with my own eyes.

Professor Warren?

Spider-Man.

I knew it!

Osborn claimed he took the Jackal out.

The Jackal? Gone?

That explains why my beastly counterpart
hasn't checked in.

I'm sorry to hear that, Spider-Man.

Because we're made in pairs, you see.

And if one goes, so must the other.

Good-bye, Spider-Man.

Help! Guards! I'm being attacked!

SPIDER-MAN:
What? Keep it down!

-[LAUGHING]
-MAN: Hey! Who's this guy?

[MEN SHOUTING]

Spidey, we've gotta get out of here.

He's having some kind of,
I don't know, meltdown!

[LAUGHING CONTINUES]

[BOTH GRUNT]

Yeah, and if we don't leave soon,
I'm gonna have a meltdown too.

Let's go!

GUARD:
Break-in in Sector 1!

-[ALARM BLARING]
-Secure perimeter! Full lockdown!

Shh!

[ALARM CONTINUES]

-Stay clear of the spotlights.
-[g*n c*ck]

Freeze, Spider-Man!

SPIDER-MAN:
Looks like they got us, Miles.

Speak for yourself. I'm in camo mode.

Really? Because it looks a lot
like leaving-me-flat mode.

I said don't move, Spider-Man!

Are you kidding me?

Disappearing is the best thing
I can do for you.

Because I can do stuff like this!

GUARD:
Hey!

Come on, Miles!
I think visiting hours are over! Unh!

[GUARDS GRUNTING]

Grab on!

Huh?

Ha! See?

You can still learn a thing or two
from me.

Yeah. I just never thought breaking out
of jail would be on the list.

But it paid off.

Now we know that the Raymond Warren
in prison

and the Jackal at Oz Academy
were both fakes.

Meaning the real Jackal
is still out there somewhere.

SPIDER-MAN:
And that isn't good for any of us,

because if Norman truly thinks
the Jackal is gone,

then it leaves him and his family
open to an attack.

I have to warn Harry.

I thought he wasn't speaking to you.

He's not.

But if his life's in danger,
he'll have to listen.

Want me to slingshot you home?

No need. See?

Web Wings. I am still learning from you.

-Good luck at Oscorp.
-Thanks.

HARRY:
I have nothing to say to you, Pete.

PETER:
Just listen to me for a second.

I think the Jackal your dad claims
to have destroyed was a clone.

[CHUCKLES]
A clone?

Yes. Spider-Man said--

Again with Spider-Man!

Haven't you learned anything, Pete?

The guy's a menace.

Did you hear how he broke into prison

and possibly eliminated Raymond Warren?

It wasn't Raymond Warren.

It's all over the news!

That's what I'm trying to tell you, Harry.

The thing Spider-Man confronted in prison
wasn't Raymond Warren.

It wasn't even human.

So there's a good chance
that whatever your dad destroyed

wasn't the real Jackal either.

Now, how do I know you and Spider-Man

aren't just trying to diminish
my dad's achievement?

Because if we were,
we would just go to the press.

Look, if the Jackal is still out there,

then my best friend's life
could be in danger.

Which is why I'm here.

He must be up to something, Harry.

Why send a Warren clone to prison

and a Jackal clone to Oz Academy,

unless you're trying to distract someone
from something bigger?

[SCOFFS] The only distraction here,
Parker, is you.

I need to finish this before class.

-So please go.
-Uh...

[METALLIC CLINKING]
[DOOR OPENS]

[BEEPS]

Hey, Dad, can I talk to you for a minute?

Peter, did you hear what Spider-Man did
to my Uncle Raymond?

Gwen-- Gwen, listen.

I have it on good authority

that the man in that prison cell
was not your uncle.

In fact, it was some sort of clone.

What do you mean? It wasn't him?

That's what I'd like to find out.
And I could use your help.

Do you know if your uncle
was working on anything unusual?

I mean, besides mutating himself
into a human-sized jackal

and turning Aleksei into a rhino?

Well put, but I don't know.

Would it be possible
to look around his house?

Maybe something there
can point us in the right direction.

Sure. I was heading home for lunch,

but we can swing by
my uncle's place instead.

-Hop on.
-Oh. Uh, o-okay.

So, if Pete's riding on back,
can I take the handlebars?

-Harry!
-Harry.

Hey, Gwen. Pete,

I thought a lot about what you said,

and I appreciate your concern.

I tried to talk to my dad about it,

but his ego's too big to accept the fact

that he might not have destroyed
the real Jackal.

Which means it's up to me to protect him,
to protect us.

So until we find proof that the Jackal
is really gone, count me in.

I'm glad to hear you say that, Harry,

-because we could really use your help.
-Good.

Let me start by offering a more
comfortable mode of transportation.

[ALL CHUCKLE]

Thanks.

That's weird.

I thought we'd find more
of his research here,

but all these papers
are from his college days. Ugh!

You okay?

Sorry. Yeah. I just...
[SIGHS]

It's still weird for me.

First to learn that my uncle
was the Jackal,

and now to hear he might've been a clone?

I just...

What's going on?

We'll figure it out, Gwen.

Of course we will.

Here, there's gotta be a tissue
or something around here.

Hey, guys,

any idea what Professor Warren
might've kept at West End Storage?

[PETER & HARRY GRUNT]

PETER:
Empty?

Didn't see that coming.

Why would Uncle Raymond rent such
a large space for just one computer?

And wire it with security cameras?

AUTOMATED VOICE:
Scanning.

DNA recognition complete.

What was that?

Hello, Norman.

"Norman"?

The DNA scanner must be confusing me
with my dad.

I knew you'd come looking
for my spider experiment.

"Spider experiment"?

And bravo on finding this place.

Sadly, it's a dead end.

Unless, of course, you came here
looking for your demise.

-[CHUCKLING]
-Look out!

[CHUCKLING CONTINUES]

-Head for the door!
-[GRUNTS]

[PANTING]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

Peter!

Pete!

Uh-oh. Can't change to Spidey
in front of these cameras.

Uh, but that might be
the very least of my problems.

[PANTS THEN YELLS]

Gotta keep that secret identity
of mine secret.

[GRUNTS]

That takes care of one prying eye.

One more!

[GRUNTS] What would Captain America do
at a time like this?

Yeah! Let's try a little
of Thor's Meyolnor--

-Meyo-- Meow--
-[WHIRRING]

Uh, his hammer!

By the power of something or other!

[GRUNTS]
Ha!

I gotta say, being an Avenger's awesome.

But there's nothing better
than being Spider-Man! Hi!

That does not sound good.

-Oh, hey, guys.
-Peter?

-Are you okay?
-What happened to this place?

[GRUNTS]
Yeah, uh,

once the turrets registered
that the Osborn DNA was gone,

they started to power down,

which gave me a chance
to disable the computer system.

Oh, yeah?

Which then caused the turrets
to self-destruct?

Huh. Yeah, something tells me
there's more to that story.

Something tells me
there's more to these files. [CHUCKLES]

But I'm guessing everything's encrypted.

Let me try.

None of Uncle Raymond's passwords work.

But I might have something that can help.

-What's that?
-A little something

I've been cooking up at school.

It can't necessarily decrypt files,

but it can show us
where the files were created.

Hang on. Wait. I know that IP address.

It's Midtown High.

Hopefully this isn't just
another wild-goose chase.

Feels like old times, huh?

Because we just did this
at Professor Warren's house?

No. I mean, you and I.

We find a problem, present a hypothesis,
and work together to prove it.

I'm really glad you showed up today,
Harry.

It means a lot to me.

Sure. Any idea
what we're looking for here?

A decryption key or a password list.

Anything that might unlock
Uncle Raymond's files.

Where would you hide a decryption key?

Huh.

-[GRUNTING]
-What are you doing?

[GRUNTS]
Look at the floor.

This desk is bolted down,

but there are deep scuff marks
all around it.

-Almost as if...
-[CLICK]

it moves.

Whoa.

Not what I was expecting,
but maybe even better.

Whoa. A secret underground lair.

Where's my treasure map?

I'll just be happy if we find
those decryption codes.

Let's split up and keep searching.

You are not the person I thought you were,
Uncle Raymond.

Wonder how far back this goes.

HARRY:
This is it!

What'd you find?

Warren's spider experiment.

-His what?
-Dad, I found it.

Lock on to my signal.
You're clear to come in.

What? What are you doing?

I played you, Parker.

Just like you kept it from me

that you're working with Spider-Man,

I kept it from you
that I'm working with my dad.

There's gotta be a light switch
around here somewhere.

What are you talking about, Harry?

My father told me the whole story.

You're right, Pete.

Norman does want to destroy Spider-Man.

Because he's a member
of the Jackal's spider army.

-That's not true.
-Oh, no?

Because from where I stand,

you just led us to the very experiment
that created Spider-Man's pow--

They're not here. Where are the spiders?

Ah. Here we go.

[GASPS]

Harry, listen to me. I'm your friend.

-That's now how--
-No, you were my friend,

until you chose to side with Spider-Man.

Guys!

Gwen, what's the--

Oh, no.

Clones?

My Uncle Raymond seems to be creating
dozens of them.

-And giving them all the powers of--
-Spiders! There they are!

He is creating a spider army.

I told you!

But he hasn't siphoned their powers yet.

I can still prevent this.

-Harry, wait!
-No, Pete.

I'm taking these spiders back to Oscorp,
and you can't stop me.

[ALARM BLARING]
[ALL GASP]

[GRUNTS THEN GROWLS]

I won't stop you, Harry, but they might!

[GROWLING, SNARLING]

Have any other bright ideas, Osborn?

[THUD]

[GRUNTS]

In fact, I do.

[GROWLING CONTINUES]

[GRUNTS]

[YELLS]

Everybody, get back!

The Oz Commandos will take it from here.

-Step aside, Harry.
-But, Dad.

I thought I could be
one of the Oz Commandos.

You were wrong.

Let the boy stay, Norman.

I am the general of this battalion, Otto,
not you.

You are a mere doctor
and take orders from me!

Now get my son to safety.

Very well.

-Hey!
-Come on!

[ROARS]

[GROWLING]

[SONIC SCREAM BLARING]

The flame sword?

-You've enhanced it. [EXCLAIMS]
-Yep.

Changed the fuel source
for a hotter flame.

Can we discuss this later?

The three of us need to get to safety.
[GRUNTS]

But it's why you need the mask, isn't it?

Because the fumes are too volatile.

[PANTING]

Harry, Gwen, watch out!

[GROWLING]

I'm blocked off, but I can get out
through the ceiling!

I'll meet you outside eventually.

[GROWLING]

[GRUNTS]

Ew! Sorry.

Didn't mean to steal the spotlight
from you,

but I figured you could use some help.

Spider-Man!

These clones are not fully formed.

If we agitate their cells enough,

they'll degenerate back into their
basic primordial building blocks.

[YELLS, GRUNTS]

If the sheer number of them
doesn't overwhelm us first!

NORMAN: So this is how you make
a spider army, huh, Raymond?

[JACKAL CLONES GROWLING]

[SONIC SCREAM BLARING]

Well, let me show you
how you prevent a spider army.

-OTTO: Norman, don't!
-[GRUNTING]

There's valuable research here
that we can co-opt.

I've made that mistake before, Otto.

I won't do it again.

The only thing left to do is destroy it!

[GROWLING]

Ew! It's like fighting pudding.

But I think that's the last of them.

JACKAL: You may have defeated
all my clones, Normie,

but you'll never defeat the true Jackal!

[GRUNTS]

Decided to make an appearance,
huh, Raymond?

-Bad move.
-[GROWLING]

Commandos, finish him!

Did you hear me?

I said, "Finish him!"

[LAUGHING]

So sorry, Norman,

but any man who disregards
the importance of scientific research,

no matter how dangerous,

doesn't deserve to be in control.

What?

Besides, ever since you told me

that Oscorp owns all my tech,

I've made it my mission to own Oscorp.

With the help, I might add,

of the very mind-control devices

the Jackal used to control his Rhino army.

My pleasure.

Didn't see that coming.

I'll get you for this, you worm!

I'm an octopus, Norman.

[GROWLS, YELLS]

Aah!

[GROANS]

Dr. Octopus!

And the Sinister Five
are in my control now!

Where's the young Osborn?

-He escaped.
-Hmm. Too bad.

"Sinister Six"
has a much nicer ring to it.

SPIDER-MAN: "Ock's future inmates"
has an even better ring to it.

So, Doctor, is the enemy
of my enemy my friend?

If you hand over the rest
of your mind-control research.

-Otherwise...
-Eh...

Done.

-Excellent.
-[GRUNTS]

Now, that's what I call
a hostile takeover.

[GROWLING]

[SCREAMS]

Sinister Five, destroy the spider freak!

[SCREECHES]

[YELLS]

[NORMAN GRUNTING WEAKLY]

And now, to destroy this thing

once and for all!

[GRUNTS]

[YELLS]

Aaahh!

Oh, boy. That's not good.

[YELLS, GRUNTS]

Sinister Five, evacuate!

[GRUNTING]

-[GRUNTING]
-Hold on, Norman!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

-Dad?
-[GASPS]

-Dad!
-Harry, don't!

It's too dangerous!

[BOTH GRUNT]

[GRUNTS]

Spider-Man, save my son.

No! Let me go! No!

[HARRY PANTING]

I'm so sorry, Harry.

-And Peter?
-I got him to safety.

I'm sorry, Harry. I...

What did you do?

-We could've saved him!
-Harry...

it was him or you, and he--

he said to save you.

You had no right!

You never liked him! Never trusted him!

And because of that, my dad is gone!

I tried.

Just leave.

[SIRENS WAILING]

[HORN BLARES]

I tried to save you, Norman.

Even though you wanted me dead, I tried.

But when you build your empire
on pillars of hatred, fear, and betrayal,

nothing can stop those walls
from tumbling down.

Still have to wrap my mind
around what happened today.

The Jackal, Doc Ock, Harry...

No matter how many bad guys I take down,

new ones always seem to be lurking
just around the corner.
