02x08 - Bring on the Bad Guys: Part 1

[bunniefuu]

♪♪

[Peter] Three days before
the Horizon High Open House,

and, thanks to my secret life
as Spider-Man,

barely started
to get my project together.

I'm trying to build

an environmentally sound
energy amplifier,

and companies have been
known to buy inventions

directly from the Open House,

which is something my bank
account could really use,

because without a job,
I can't afford school.

But you know
what else I can't afford?

$162.

Equipment for my project.

Sorry. Too expensive.

Used equipment-- $97.

Uhh.

Very used equipment--


[sighs]

New York City, Panda-Mania.

Can you believe it?
The Big Apple.

And we're
three hours early.

I told you there wouldn't
be any traffic, Hippo,

but no, you had
to get us on the road
at 2:00 in the morning.

So how about some sightseeing?

Wax museum? Or-Or-Or--

I've always wanted to take
one of those tour boats

around the island.

You get seasick
in the bathtub.

Of course, there's always
our favorite pastime.

[Jameson] I was captured
by that lunatic Venom!

All Spider-Man's fault!

[Peter scoffs]
My fault?

Since that wall-crawling
weasel first appeared,

New York's been overrun
by his superpowered cronies.

Do your job,
Police Chief Watanabe.

Bring that masked menace
to justice,

or face the consequences!

Uh--

[disguised voice]
Spider-Man's

not all that bad.

[woman] Uh-huh.
[expl*si*n]

Uh-oh.

Aw, yeah!

I love bank robbing.

A panda person.

That's got to be the weirdest
thing I'll see all day.

[grunting]

So awkward.

I take that back.

One web locker
for my equipment.

Now time to become
a zookeeper.

[both panting]

Who the heck are you?
[gasps]

You're kidding.

Spider-Man?
The web-swinging wonder?

Idol of millions?

[audible shrug]

Sorry. We're from Toledo.

Then welcome to New York.

Ooh! I told you
we would have had
more fun

at the wax museum.

[grunts]
Are you kidding?

This is where the fun
really starts.

Uhh. I hate tourists!

[grunts]

You come to New York,

rob a bank,
and trash our statues?

Who came up with your
vacation itinerary?

[gasps]
Uhh!

Ow! Ohh!

You'll save yourself a lot
of unnecessary bruising

if you just give up now.

No way. You ain't
taking this job

and stealing our cash.

Raah! Ha! Ha!

First of all,
it's not your cash.

Ohh!
And second of all,

I'm not stealing it,
I'm giving it back.

You're
supposed to be a good guy?

In a scary spider costume?

As if.

[tellers]
Ohh!

I happen to be

New York's
most beloved superhero,

as anyone in this bank
will tell you.

Just don't hurt us,
Spider-Man!

Hurt? But--

Jameson! Huh!

[straining]

Body slam!

[Panda-Mania]
Menace!

[grunting]

So, wax museum?

Seriously?

Just grab the bags,
Fluffy Lumpkins,

and let's move!

What are we gonna do
till the meeting starts?

It's a big city,
with a lot of banks.

[groaning]

Ohh!

Out of the way!

Hey, wait up!
[grunting]

Ohh. Oh, pardon--

Oh, excuse me. Just make way.

Oh, sorry!

Sorry.

We should have taken a cab.

When am I ever gonna
get another crack

at riding a New York
subway?

Hey, where's the rest
of our money?

Sorry. I'm an even-toed
ungulate.

Among other things.

Oh, well.
There's a bank in SoHo
that looks promising,

but we have to get off
at the next stop
and change trains.

You think that spider guy's
gonna come after us?

After the beat-down
we gave him,

he'd be a perfect idiot
to tangle with us again.

Whoa!
[gasps]
Whoa.

I don't know about "perfect."

[Panda-Mania]
How?

My unerring subway sonar
led me right to you.

You have subway sonar?

No.

That map shows every stop.

Doesn't Toledo have a subway?

You're not getting
away from me in my town.

What are you doing?

Running away!

Sorry.

That's obvious, but why?

This spider guy knows the city
like the back of his webs.

Let's forget about robbing
New York banks.

Just get to the meeting and--

I make the decisions
on this team,

and I say-- Huh?

Aah!

One down, one to--

[horn blaring]
Uh-oh.

Aah!

Are you all right?
Aah! Uhh!

With my tough hide,

it'll take more than that
to stop me.

[horn blares]

Rude much?

Okay, tourists,

get ready
for some spectacular views

of New York's
best prison cells.

Aah!

I can even draw you a map
so you don't get lost.

How are you so fast?
It's not human.

Not human?
You're a hippopotamus.

[horn blaring]

The ceiling's
going to collapse.

Another reason why you
should never take
animals on the subway.

Oh, no.

[honking]

Run!

You have the money?

Uh...

You better hope
tonight pays off.

[screaming]

Ta-da!

Don't worry. I'm fine.

Everybody get out now,

before he wrecks
the rest of the station!

[crowd screaming]
No, wait. I was saving you.

I-- I was talking to myself.

[growls]

Jameson.

Whoa. There are some
heavy hitters here.

Yeah. This thing's
bigger than we realized.

Quite an impressive response
to my invitations.

Greed is an exceptional
motivator.

And if you want to collect

the generous bounty
I have offered,

then all you have to do is...

bring me Spider-Man.

Spider-Man?

Not again. No way.

Who among you--
Pardon me. Excuse me.

...has the courage
and skill--
I'm so sorry.

...to be victorious?
Just let me get by.

Sorry. Pardon me.

So, uh, wax museum?

Fine.
Aw.

Mmm!
No hugging!

Sorry. I was just
overwhelmed with emotion

over famous people
in wax.

You are so weird.

Okay, fighting a hippo
and a panda

wasn't exactly
the evening I had planned,

and neither was saying
something that crazy.

But the Horizon Open House is
now two and a half days away,

so I have to kick things
into gear, starting--

[sighs]

Not any time soon.

[groans]

Aunt May, do we have any glue?

A lot of glue?

[Aunt May]
You missed a wonderful
brunch, Peter.

The wheat cakes
were fantastic,

though not as good
as mine, obvs.

[scoffs]
Did you just say "obvs"?

Oh, is that
not cool anymore?

Maybe you'll bring it back.

Look, I'm sorry I couldn't
make brunch, Aunt May,

but I have to
finish this project,
and I've only got--

Got two days.
I know.

You'll get it done.
You always do.

And it will be exceptional.
I'm sure of it.

Yaah!

I wish I had
your confidence in me.

I've always
had confidence in you,

and so did your Uncle Ben.

He-- Aah!

[sirens blaring]

Aunt May?

Aunt May?

That was some kind of--

What do they call them?
Monster trucks?

Only it's a bus.
Must be going

right through
all the lights.

Someone's got to stop it,

or people
are gonna get hurt.

[sighs]

And I know
who that "someone" is.

Excuse me!
Got to catch a bus!
Wha--

You know your problem, people?

You're all too slow!

Ha ha ha ha!

I don't believe we've met.

Spider-Man. Finally.

Joyride's over, dude.

Name's Overdrive.

Remember it.

What is this,
Weird New Villains Weekend?

Well, so much for hoping
this bus was empty.

So let me guess.

Nanites?

Like little nano-machines,

rebuilding the tech
on this bus

on a microscopic level?

Didn't know
you were the science type.

Huh. Well, "Science-Man"
isn't as catchy of a name.

But you have to communicate
with the nanites somehow.

Let me guess. You text them?

I believe in physical
communication.

Okay, see, that's exactly
why we use science terms.

Otherwise, it just sounds
super-- Aah!

What is your deal?

It's all about
the need for speed.

And you just can't keep up,
can you?

[gasping]

Didn't think so, insect.

Wow, that bus is fast.

When I take the bus,
it's really slow!

So many violations.

Going 200 in a 25.

Reckless endangerment!

Aah!

That costume, Speedy Pants.

Whoa! You don't like
the name "Speedy Pants."

Noted!

Speed is my thing.

Risk, danger.

Getting the adrenaline
pumping.

You did this because
you like to go fast?

No. Speed's
just a bonus for me.

I did this to get to you,
web-head.

[bus approaching]
Huh?

Free us!

This is worse than what you did
in the subway,

menace.

What, me?

No, that was Hippo. He and--

I heard what that
J. Jonah Jameson guy said.

You're all in it together.
Cronies!

"Cronies"?

Jameson!

"Physical communication,"
he said.

Overdrive
has to be in contact

with whatever he transforms,

or it eventually reverts
back to normal.

Okay, everyone, stay calm,
and I'll keep you--
[engine accelerates]

Huh?
...safe.

Yikes!

Overdrive's attack--
Huh?

...must have jammed the bus
into high gear.

Whoa! Oh!

Ohh!

Whoa!
Whoa!

Okay, this pedal
should stop the bus.

Or not!

[grunts]

Scatter!
Huh?

[Spider-Man]
I don't have
my driver's license yet!

You deliberately tried

to crash that bus
into this construction site.

To prove what?
You hate buses?

Wait. Was this all
supposed to be a big trap?

Worked pretty well,
didn't it?

I've got places to be
and races to run.

So long, Spider-Man.

If that's the best
you've got...

you're gonna have to go
back to Bad Guy School

and take Basic Trapping 101.

Whoop. Oh!

Aah!

School?

Ha! I'm self-taught.

And that's not the trap.

This is.

All those hard cases,

all those big names,

and I'm the one who got him.

Overdrive beat Spider-Man,

and now it's time to collect.

Digging him up's
gonna take all day.

I don't have the patience
for this.

This ought to be enough
to convince them

Spidey's been taken down.

Ah.

Ah, web cocoon.

Best idea I've ever had

while having a building
fall on top of me.

[grunting]
Problem is,

a web cocoon
can keep me alive

but can't get me out of here
to stay alive.

[grunting]

This Overdrive guy wasn't
just committing a crime,

he was hunting me.

Everyone on that bus
was in danger

just because I exist.

No wonder people think
I'm a menace.

But if I'm gonna show
this city I'm not...

I've got to bring
Overdrive down.

But how?

Aha! A sample
of Overdrive's nanites.

Now we're in business.

I just need to figure out
how they work.

The nanotech's programmed

to respond
to Overdrive's thoughts.

Wonder if I can manipulate
the nanites' processing code

so they'll respond to mine.

Experiment-- would
a nano-souped-up vacuum

clean the house
in, like, 2.2 seconds?

Well, so much for nanites
handling my chores.

Maybe they can't
be programmed

for my DNA code.

Uh-oh. The bus?
The need for speed?

Did Overdrive
design his nanites

to only work on vehicles?

Okay, I need
a kick-butt vehicle

to test this theory.

Hmm. Maybe if I was chasing
a preschool supervillain.

Wait a minute. Uncle Ben's...

Don't wobble, Petey.
Keep her steady.

Steady.
[fretting]

That's my boy.

So when do I
get to ride this one?

Not yet, buddy.

Not till you've grown
into the amazing young man

I know you're gonna be
one day.

But you can have a minute
to get the feel of her.

Easy, Peter.

The shifter's a real beast.

Hmm. Looks like
my theory was right.

Now to implement my own ideas.

The Spider Shifter.

Thanks, Uncle Ben.

Whoo-hoo!

I've covered half the city
looking for you,

and here you are, returning
to the scene of the crime.

You're still alive?

Wait. Is that my tech?

You stole my tech?

You left your nanites
just laying around.

Couldn't resist.

Don't worry. I made
some improvements.

Bet you can't keep up.

Oh, pul-ease.

Nobody's
faster than Overdrive.

DeFalco Parkway's
not scheduled to open

for another two weeks.

Want to test
that hypothesis?

So why were you going back
to the construction site?

Having second thoughts
about what you did?

They wouldn't take
your glove as proof,

so I needed your body.

"They"? Who's "they"?

They're the ones that are
gonna make me rich

when I take you down.

Oh, hey.
Can your bike do that?

Didn't think so.

That ride of yours
may have some tricks,

but mine are better.

You really thought
that would work?

You invented this stuff.

Now you're starting
to annoy me.

Starting? I've been doing
my best to annoy you all day.

Uh-oh.

I thought you said
your bike was fast.

You weren't lying, were you?

Nobody's faster than me!

Nobody!

Huh? What's happening?

Oh, I overwrote your code.

Inputted a virus
into your chopper back there.

Science-Man, remember?

Push that thing beyond

and the nanotech
overheats and shuts down.

It's over, Overdrive.

Were you
rehearsing that?

[sirens blaring]
[scoffs] No.

He's all yours, officers.

You're both in trouble.

What'd I do?

Allegedly robbed a bank,

wrecked a subway station,

terrified a busload
of innocent people,

and now...

speeding.

You're kidding!

A speeding ticket?

Yeah. You get
used to them.

Peter, you did all this?

Uh, I was reminded today

that when I hit a roadblock,

you and Uncle Ben
always gave me the skills

to break through.

Obvs.

Well, then, let's
sit down and--

I can't. Got to get back
to my project for Horizon.

But you need to eat.

You know, I'm on
a really tight deadline.

But...

I can always slow down

for what's really important.
