01x08 - The Doctor Prescribes Doom

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Spider-Man.

[inaudible speaking]

[meow]

[inaudible speaking]

[roaring]

[narrator] Spider-Man.

[gasps]

Everything looks
peaceful enough.

Uh-oh.

There goes
my spider sense again.

[child singing]

Oh! Oh!

My ducky!

- [child screaming]
- My baby!

[beeping]

[beeping]

Morning, Ambassador Bishatta.

The Security Council meeting
has been changed

to ten this morning.

Stand back, Father.

- Hyah! Hyah!
- [neighing]

- Hyah! Hyah!
- [neighing]

Hyah!

Oh!

[whistling]

Father, are you all right?

My son, we must escape.

Doctor Doom will try to...

Don't worry about the tyrant,
Father.

One day
I will defeat Doctor Doom

and free Latveria
once and for all.

Go, Father!

You there!

Get him!

[grunting]

Doom is a monster!

He must be stopped.

He must be stopped before...

[neighing]

[howling]

The matrix is ready,
Doctor Doom.

It is perfect, master.

Of course.

[Doctor Doom] Enough force.

It's... It's an exact copy,
master.

Yes.

No one will be able

to tell my robot

from the real Secretary General

of the United Nations.

Yes, master, as you ordered.

Your jet leaves for the UN
within the hour.

[Doctor Doom] Good, Boris.

Soon the world will be mine,

to do with as I choose.

[footsteps]

[clattering]

- Peter!
- Uh, so this is what

the broom closet looks like.

Jameson's been looking
all over for you.

Uh-oh. Thanks.

Uh, Betty,

there's this dance
on campus Friday, would you...

I'd love to.
Pick me up at eight. See ya.

[Jameson] Parker!

Get in here, you nincompoop!

Doctor Doom? The man's a tyrant.

Tyrant? The world needs
more leaders like Doctor Doom.

Strong, decisive.

It's going to take
someone like that

to stop world terrorism.

I couldn't have said it better,
Uncle Jonah.

You couldn't have
said it worse, either.

I want Doctor Doom's visit
on our front page.

Doom? Here?

[Jameson]
Okay, Parker, I want some great photos.

Undoubtedly, His Majesty

will want to meet me personally.

Gee, a whole dime tip.

Sure you can spare it?

A dime?
I meant to give him a nickel.

[blip]

If you require anything else,
Mr. Jameson,

please don't hesitate to ask.

You betcha.

Now, this is
what I call service.

Uh, I'll see you guys later.

Need another angle
for the best shots.

[Jameson] You know, the
UN wouldn't be such a bad idea

if it wasn't
for all these foreigners.

Good morning,
Mr. Secretary General.

My automatic camera will get
the pictures Jameson wants

and leave me free
to keep my eye on Doom.

Ladies and gentlemen
of the press,

delegates to the United Nations,

his majesty Doctor Doom.

This is it.

People of the world,

I am Doctor Doom.

Hear my words well.

There is one answer

to the world's problems,

leadership,

my powerful leadership.

With Doctor Doom,
Master of the World,

there will be no more wars,

no more hunger.

All I demand

is total obedience.

Doctor Doom
will be with you shortly.

Good. Fetch my photographer.

This will be a historic moment.

- What's going on?
- [scuffling]

Get your hands off me!

Doctor Doom will hear of this!

What...

Is everything all right,
Mr. Jameson?

Never better.

There will be no debate.

Vote! Now!

Doom voted in
as Master of the World?

No way.

[man 1] Aye!

- [man 2] Yes!
- Huh?

Doctor Doom will lead us!

Doctor Doom,
Master of the World!

We support Doctor Doom!

[all chanting] Doom! Doom!

Doom!

Doom! Doom!

Doom!

- Doom! Doom!
- This is a nightmare.

- Doom! Doom!
- Doom elected dictator of the world?

Doom! Doom! Doom!

Doom! Doom!

- Doom!
- Silence!

[man] Wait! I protest!

The freedom-loving people
of Bokland

will never accept the rule

of such a ruthless tyrant!

Be silent, worm.

Let that be a lesson

to any who would defy

the power of Doctor Doom.

In my first action
as dictator of the world,

I abolish all newspapers

and TV.

None must be able
to criticize me.

You'll never get away
with this, you tyrant!

My word is law.

[grunts]

Betty!

[grunts]

[screaming]

Destroy Spider-Man!

I'm glad to see that Doom
still takes an interest in me.

Doom!

Destroy Spider-Man!

[woman] Yes, get him!

[man] Grab him!

Destroy him!

Isn't it nice to have friends?

I'm glad you asked me
to the party this Friday, Peter.

I've really been wanting to go.

[Jameson] Parker! There you are.

Uh, yes, Mr. Jameson?

Good pictures, Parker.

What did you say, Mr. Jameson?

Oh, Peter, call me Jonah.

He... he told me
to call him Jonah.

He even liked my coffee
this morning.

Ever since he came back
from the UN yesterday,

he's been different.

Hmm.

Wait!

Ambassador, I want to help

in your fight
against Doctor Doom.

What? Fight Doom?

Doom is our only hope!

- Oh!
- [thud]

Oh.

He's as strong as Spider-Man.

And has he changed.

And he's not the only one.

[Jameson]
Oh, Peter, call me Jonah.

Hmm.

[Professor]
Today we'll discuss printed circuits

which make possible
your digital watches,

calculators, even robots.

Robots.

Of course, robots!

Whoops! Sorry.

[Doctor Doom] Perfect.

Now to close the trap

with my own spider sleep gas.

Spider-Man.

You're the only one I can trust.

Doom's replaced the entire
UN Security Council

with robots. Jameson, too.

- Exact duplicates.
- [door opens]

Not so fast, Spider-Man.

[grunting]

Robbie! My best friend!

What have I done?

[Doctor Doom] Too bad.

He's ruined
one of my better robots,

but no matter.

At last Spider-Man is mine.

I wonder what
Doctor Doom has in store

for our costumed clown here.

[man] I got a better question.

Who's under
that silly spider mask?

Yeah.

How does this blasted thing
come off?

Hey!

Nothing I can do now
will ever bring my best friend

Robbie Robertson back to life.

But at least I can
stop Doctor Doom

somehow.

[footsteps approaching]

Thank you, my man.

[Doctor Doom]
Idiots. Incompetent fools.

I shall have to destroy
Spider-Man myself.

Oh, great.

And here I am, a sitting spider.

If Doom thinks
these silly little bars

are going to stop your
ever-lovin' wall crawler

[zap]
- [groans]

Electrified.

[Doctor Doom]
Not just electrified, web swinger,

but a paralyzing force field.

[beeping]

Those rays.

I'm... getting

weaker.

Only... one... chance... now.

Okay, let's grab him!

That takes care of Spider-Man.

Now I can continue my work

without interference
by that meddling fool.

[exhales] Where is he?

Nobody can hold his breath
that long.

Split up!

Correction, no one
without spider power

can hold his breath that long.

This robot electronics
is pretty heavy stuff.

But I'll learn it.

Got to avenge Robbie.

[Doctor Doom]
Go to the Black Diamond

and get rid of the guard.

[footsteps]

Mr. Secretary General.
Evening, sir.

I wish to study
the Black Diamond

for a moment alone.

Well, I guess it's okay for you.

[Doom]
Now use your mechanical finger

to unlock the case.

Replace it
with the fake diamond.

Good. Very good.

[Mr. Secretary General]
Uh, thank you. Good night.

Good night, sir.

[Spider-Man] Wait a minute.

I think I've got it.

I know how to defeat Doom.

[sneezes]

[Aunt May] Peter!

I know you've been sneezing,
dear,

so I made you
some nice hot soup.

But... but, Aunt May,
I don't have time right now.

I really have to...

[Aunt May] Oh, nonsense, Petey.

Now I want you
to get your rest, dear.

We can't have you getting sick.

All right, Aunt May.

Now you keep nice and warm.

I will, Aunt May. And thanks.

She's such a sweet old lady.
I don't know what I'd do without her.

But right now Spider-Man's
got a job to do.

Professor, I need your help.

I know you're surprised
to see me,

but let me explain.

[Professor]
This should do the trick.

But we won't know
until we test it.

No time for tests, professor.

[web firing]

"Doctor Doom to address
the entire world

at noon today."

That doesn't give me much time.

Hey, what's this?

A Latverian ship.

Of course.

I'll bet that blasted
Spider-Man's

behind this somehow. [Grumbling]

[Spider-Man]
Hiya, fellas! What'cha know?

Now to see
if my hunch was right.

You still President
of the Doctor Doom Fan Club?

Spider-Man!

I knew you were behind this.

When are you going to... Robbie!

But that's impossible. I... I...

You what?

Of course.

You're one
of Doctor Doom's robots,

and I can prove it!

- See?
- [Robbie] See what?

But

then you're not a robot.

You sure about that now?

Uh, sorry about that.

Uh, I'd like to stay and chat,

but right now
I've got a date with Doom.

[all chanting] Doom! Doom! Doom!

Doom!

Doom! Doom!

- Doom!
- Silence!

People of the world,

I am Doctor Doom.

I am your leader.

As of now,

all armies are under my command.

All world leaders

- will answer to me.
- [swinging]

I'm afraid you're a bit
premature, tin head.

Seize him!

Sorry, metal mouth,
but the game's up.

Farewell, web slinger.

Sorry to explode
your dream of power, tin man,

but the entire world

just witnessed your treachery.

I'm afraid you've bombed out.

You may have stopped me
this time,

you loathsome creature,

but the last blast is on me.

I've heard of people
going to pieces over losing,

but this is ridiculous.

Remember this,
and remember it well,

you arrogant insect,

even in defeat,

Doctor Doom never loses.

We are not finished, Spider-Man.

You and I still have
a score to settle.

[phone ringing]

- [Spider-Man] Hello.
- [Betty]] Peter,

why didn't you
pick me up for the dance?

Oh. I'm sorry, Betty.

Something important came up.

[Betty] What can be more
importantthan taking me to the dance?

[sighs]

You'd be surprised.
