05x13 - Chapter II: Farewell, Spider-Man

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Spider-Man.

The Hobgoblin and the Green
Goblin destroying the city?

You finish the job, Hobgoblin.

Uh-oh.

He looks like Carnage,
but in my costume.

Well, dear clone.

Tell me what's going on.

They're from parallel realities.

The Carnage symbiot bonded
with Scarlet-Spider's clone

and drove him completely insane.

Spider-Carnage will detonate
a disintegrator b*mb.

The blast will destroy
every reality.

You must stop Spider-Carnage.

Kingpin, it's Spider-Man!
Five of him!

Stop them!

My mutation disease!

What's happened to him?

Man-Spider! We're in trouble!

Spider-Carnage has not
detonated the device yet.

We are powerless to stop him.

How can I help?

[ Grunting ]

Spider-Man!

There.

It's complete at last.

Then activate the
mind-control device.

Look! We've run out of time!

And now, world, say good...

Guess again.

You! How did you get
up here so quickly?

A good magician
never reveals his tricks.

You did it!

You transported the
powerless one there.

Yes. But if he fails,
I'm now too weak to help him.

Stop! Let me go!

All is lost.

No. I will use the
last of my power

to transport Man-Spider away.

Then, to stay alive,

I must return to our
home dimension.

If Spider-Man prevails
and we survive

tell him the Beyonder
said, "thank you."

[ Groaning ]

[ Grunting ]

There. I've reprogrammed
the device.

And I shall rip this imposter
limb from limb

for causing us a delay.

Kingpin, I know he's promised
to build you a machine

to take over people's minds,

but he's really built a b*mb
that will destroy us all.

These lies won't save
your pathetic life.

It's the truth!

Spider-Carnage has duped you!

Don't listen to them!

What was that?

The dish stolen from
J3 Communications

is magnifying the
dimensional transporter!

A huge portal has been opened.

A portal?

Spider-Carnage is going
to detonate a b*mb.

And that expl*si*n will be magnified
through time and space

until it destroys all reality!

Shut up!

Why would you do this?

Ever since that spider bit me

the world has misunderstood me

and tormented me!

Now it's my turn.

I'm going to obliterate you all!

[ Yelling ]

Guys, I think he just
started the countdown!

I'll try to reprogram the b*mb.

You disable the transporter.

How can I help?

You keep your head down
and stay out of trouble.

That I can do.

No!

Spider-Man! I found it!

It's over, Spider-Carnage.

Hey!

Stop him!

We still have to
disarm the b*mb!

Even without the transporter

it's powerful enough
to blow up this building!

Where... what?

You did it!

You saved reality!

We all did.

It was a team effort.

Where's the Beyonder?

He had to go back to
our home dimension.

The strain was too
much on his powers.

Madam Web brought you
back just in the nick of time.

I still have a few
tricks up my sleeve.

Behold!

I'm sending him to a jail.

The authorities will find
him under lock and key.

At least it's all over now.

Alas, it isn't.

Observe the window.

It's him again!

And it looks like he's
up to his old tricks.

But I thought...

He has transported himself
into another alternate reality.

Which one?

I am trying to search
through infinity.

Ah!

The Peter Parker
Science Foundation?

Wait a minute.
That's my world!

I've got to go back!

You cannot.

You are still paralyzed,
thanks to your rash behavior.

Web, can you send
the rest of us there?

Only one of you.

Let me go!

No, I'm the leader here.
I'll go.

My own powers are waning.

I can't place you there
with pinpoint accuracy,

and you will be on your own.

- I understand.
- Good luck.

Something tells me
you're going to need it.

Amazing.

Looks and feel so much like
the New York of my reality.

The people love me!

No wonder my armored
alter-ego was so arrogant.

I should be in
charge of this group

'cause I never lose.

Hey, wait!

A laser built right
into your armor?

It's my own design.

In my world,
I'm a multi-billionaire.

Aren't you?

He probably didn't know the
meaning of the word "failure."

If I don't find
Spider-Carnage quickly,

this paradise isn't
going to be around

for my armored
alter-ego to return to.

There you are!

How dare you keep
us waiting so long.

Whoa! Wait! Stop!

Hey! Can't your fiancee
give you a kiss anymore?

Great, Parker.

Here, you're engaged to somebody
you don't even know.

Ah, I'm sorry, miss, uh...

Funny, Peter.

The name's Gwen Stacy.

Look, Mr. Comedian.

I'll go down to let them know
you've finally arrived.

Then you can make
your grand entrance.

My "grand entrance"?

It's not every night the city opens
a science center in your name.

And wearing the
old costume tonight.

Nice touch. Very nostalgic.

Wait right here.

Sorry to miss the party.

Got to go look for a maniac.

Where do I start?

I'm running low on time.

Come on, where are you?

Oh, this is almost too obvious.

I'll bite.

Oh, boy.

Well, my alter ego did say
he owned his own robot.

Robot!

Destroy that intruder!

Spider-sense! Danger!

[ Groaning ]

I'm done for!

Wait, on the side of its head.

Those look like sonic receivers!

This robot can hear me!

If he's Spider-Man's,

he'd respond to verbal
orders from Spider-Man!

Robot, put me down.

No! I command you
to destroy him!

Spider-Carnage must
be controlling him

from some hidden place!

Put me down!

No! Listen only to me!

Put me down!

Me!

Uh-oh.

Probably couldn't handle
getting orders

from two Spider-Man voices.

Now I know
Spider-Carnage is here.

Hello?

What?

I don't believe it.

Mary Jane. It's me, Peter!

Sorry, but I was
wandering around.

I... heard some noise.

Oh, I'm so happy to
have found you at last!

Whoa, handsome.

I appreciate the attention,
but take it easy.

You're wrinkling the
latest fashion from Paris.

MJ, don't you remember
how much I love you?

How much you what?

Mary Jane.

Oh, it's you, Mr. Parker.

I had no idea you two were...

Aunt Anna,
it's not what you think.

We hardly know one another.

That's not true!

I love you.

I am so happy to
hear you say that.

Come on, Aunt Anna.

There's a party trying to
get started in the ballroom,

and without me there, it's
bound to be a flopper-roo.

Ciao, tiger.

Catch you on the upswing.

Mr. Parker, do come and
visit us sometime soon.

That's not the
Anna Watson I know.

That's not the Mary
Jane I know either.

Care to explain what
that was all about?

- Gwen!
- Did I hear correctly?

You love that Watson woman?

Let me explain...

Hey everybody, we found them.

Peter! Where the heck
have you been, boy?

You had your old
godfather worried.

My godfather?

Hey. Where's that
cool spider-armor?

You know, Peter.
He's always full of surprises.

Why don't we all go down

and greet those people who paid
good money to see the star here?

If I get trapped down
there all night...

I'm afraid I must take
Mr. Parker away from you

for a moment or two.

Wilson, what are
you talking about?

As Mr. Parker's lawyer,

there are a few important legal
papers that he must sign.

The Kingpin is my lawyer?

At least, it gets me out of here.

Listen. You guys go out there
and have a good time.

I'll be right along.

Thank you for your time, Peter.

No problem, Mr. Fisk.

Truth is, I need a little
distance from them all.

Huh?

Allow me to grant you your wish.

Well, if it isn't my clone friend.

Spider-Carnage has
explained everything

to me about the
alternate dimensions.

Now, I see an excellent
business opportunity.

Using him to replace you

he and I can take over all
Peter Parker's resources

and rule this empire together.

I should have guessed that
Wilson Fisk couldn't be trusted.

Listen, Fisk. He's not
interested in ruling the world.

He wants...

Ignore the slimy clone, Fisk.

Now, what is our next step?

Let us join the party as
if everything is normal.

We can eliminate
him later tonight.

Hey, are you all right?

Yeah, but how did you know...?

Something my beau whipped
up so we're never be apart.

It can find his heartbeat
from a million miles away.

How did you know that Peter
Parker downstairs wasn't me?

He's as nutty as a fruitcake.

A girlfriend notices
little things like that.

You don't know the half of it.

Now, how do I get you out of here?

And I just want to say

that I intend to see that you all
get from me what you deserve.

And I'm going to see that
you get what you deserve.

[ All gasping ]

[ Screaming ]

There's two of them!

And they're going to
tear each other apart!

[ Grunts ]

Soon, my dear clone

you'll be nothing more
than a bad memory.

Gwen, now!

[ Screams ]

Fisk, what's wrong with you?

[ Gasps ]

I'll show you!

I'll destroy you all!

And if anyone follows me,

she'll be the first to go.

Destroy us all?

You were tricked, Fisk.

Not for the first time either.

I've got to stop him.

No.

That's what I'm doing wrong.

I have to remember that
my enemy here is me.

Maybe I shouldn't be
trying to defeat him.

Maybe what I need to
do is understand him.

I'm forgetting everything
that Madame Web taught

me all these months.

Why isn't he trying to
save my girlfriend?!

What's wrong with him?

Be quiet.

He is using his head at long last.

Something you may
never learn to do.

That's it.

He's confused.

And there's only one person who can
help him remember right from wrong.

If I guess right,
this reality is the only place

where that person
might still be found.

Wha... what are you doing?!

I'm going to destroy all reality.

Even if I have to do it
one dimension at a time.

This heartbeat
tracker really works.

The lady was right.

I told you not to follow
me or she'd get it!

What are you planning to do?

I devised a way

to amplify the
dimensional transporter.

Only this hole won't lead
to another dimension.

I've recalibrated the
interface inhibitor.

You've deliberately
created an imbalance?

Then, whatever gets
sucked into that hole...

Right. It will cease to exist.

In minutes, this hole
will grow large enough

to suck this city into oblivion!

Then the entire planet.

You can't do something
this horrible.

It just isn't in you
because it isn't in me

and you are me.

I'm more you than
you'd ever admit!

And maybe you're being
overtaken by the symbiote.

There's only one
way I can find out.

I need to reach the real
Peter Parker inside of you.

The one who cares about
the people around him.

He's gone for good!

Is he?

I know he won't talk to me,

but I brought along somebody
that he might want to talk to.

No. It... it can't be!

Peter, it's me. Uncle Ben.

Uncle Ben?

I've been told everything.

Is it really you?

Did you think things were
gonna be easy, boy?

Huh? Did you?

But I...
I can't do it, Uncle Ben.

You know my rotten luck.

Nonsense.

Boy, good or bad luck

is nothing but the
right or wrong mix

of opportunity,
preparation and confidence.

Now I know you're prepared
because I had a hand in that.

We're looking square
at opportunity.

I know you've had
a very bad time.

But in this dimension
I'm here for you.

And no matter what, I love you.

I...

I love you, too, Uncle Ben.

I... love you, too.

Do you remember what I taught
you about great power?

Yes.

With great power there must
come great responsibility.

Peter, there's an evil inside you.

It's your responsibility
to the world

and yourself to expel it.

Get rid of it... please.

Yes... I must.

I see that now!

[ Screaming ]

What's wrong with him?

He's trying to get
rid of the symbiote.

But it's not giving
up without a fight.

Fight it, Peter.

Fight it with all
your heart and soul.

Your real heart and soul.

[ Screams and gasps ]

Won't work.

Too painful.

I'm sorry for all the
bad things I did.

Forgive me!

Oh, forgive me!

[ Screams ]

No!

He's gone. Vaporized.

I should have stopped him.

No. He did what he
thought was best.

For himself and for all of us.

You did fine tonight, Peter.

I'm proud of you.

I'll miss you.

And I'll miss you,
too, Uncle Ben.

But I'll always have you...

...in my heart.

Way to go, boss.

You did well, Spider-Man.

I am proud of you.

The others can go home

but there is one more
place that you must visit.

Where to now?

[ Clears throat ]

I think she means my reality.

What am I going to find there?

More than you can ever imagine.

I don't believe what
you're telling me.

In your reality, I'm a
character in fiction?

Yep, and I'm an actor
who plays you on TV.

But there's someone here
I knew you had to meet.

He's the man who created you
for fans all over the world.

And I said to Jack,
"what if his skin turns green"?

Ahem. Excuse me.

I'm looking for some
guy named Stan Lee.

What?

Spider-Man?

Uh, Pam,
hold my calls for a while.

I think I've finally gone crazy.

Oh man!

Wow!

You know, Spidey.

I've always wanted to
experience real webslinging.

And I've always wanted to be
appreciated as a real hero.

It seems you've made
me into one. Thanks.

Hey, don't mention it.

After saving all of reality

where do you go from here?

To find Mary Jane.

My Mary Jane.

I've been told she's still alive.

I can't wait to see her.

You know, for so long

I thought that I
never got any breaks.

But now, after all
I've been through

for once, I like my life.

I like myself.

And for the first time ever

I wouldn't want to change
anything about me.

Gee, you are definitely
not the same guy

I've been writing
about all these years.

Well Stan, we all have to grow
up sometime, I suppose.

Even us characters of fiction.

Spider-Man.
It's time to go.

Who is that exotic lady?

Oh, her?

She's my ride.

It's been great meeting you.

Take care of yourself.

You too, Spider-Man.

Farewell and good luck.

Well, I wonder how I'm supposed
to get down from here.

I suppose I could wait
for the Fantastic Four

to drop by and give me a lift.

That Stan Lee is quite a guy.

I think he's truly special.

Well, Madame Web, where to now?

Face front, true believer.

We are going to find the
real Mary Jane Watson.

- What?
- It has been a long hard journey

and I think you are finally
entitled to some happiness.

Amen to that, dear lady.

Amen to that.
