[Alarm Ringing]

[Siren Blaring]

[Tires Screeching]

[Alarm Stops]

Officer: He's Up There Somewhere.

Turn On
The Searchlights.

I Wonder What's Going On Down There.

Looks Like Somebody Broke Into The Midtown Museum.

Officer: There He Is! Get Him!

Spider-Man!

Officer: Don't Let Him Get Away!

Guards: Ooh!

Where Is Everybody?

Biggest News Story Of The Year And Nobody's Around.

Miss Brant, Where Have You Been?

I Got Here As Fast As I Could, Mr. Jameson.

Do You Realize It's 6:00 In The Morning?

I Don't Care
What Time It Is.

Look At This.

"Spider-Man Robs Midtown Museum."

I Always Knew
He Was A Crook.

I Don't Believe It.

Jameson: You'd Better Believe It.

There Were Witnesses.

At Last,
That Web-Headed Weasel

Is Going To Be Exposed For The Fraud He Is.

Reporter: The Midtown Museum Was Broken Into Last Night,

And According To Eyewitnesses,

The Thief Was None Other Than Spider-Man.

Who, Me?

Reporter: Thousands Of Dollars Worth Of Antique Treasures

Are Missing.

[Phone Ringing]

Hello? Betty?

What Are You Doing At The Office So Early?

Mr. Jameson Wants To Talk To You. He's Very--

Parker! A Fine News Photographer You Are.

Sleeping
While Spider-Man

Runs Rampant
Through The City.

Get Me Some
Pictures...Fast!

I Couldn't Have Committed That Robbery.

I've Been Here In My Room, Asleep All Night.

Unless...Am--Am I Becoming A Split Personality

Like--Like Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde?

Or Could Somebody Disguised As Me

Be Trying To Destroy Me?

I Think I'll Just Go Check The Scene Of The Crime.

Nobody Around.
Now's My Chance.

Coast Is Clear.

I'll Just Check Out--

Uh-Oh. My Spider Sense Tells Me I'm Not Alone.

Officer:
Ok, Spider-Man.

We Figured
You'd Come Back.

Check-Out Time Postponed.

The Chief Wants To Have A Little Talk With You

At Headquarters.

I Don't Talk Well
At Gunpoint.

What?

Sorry, Officer.

We'll Have
That Talk Later.

I've Got To Stay Free To Clear Myself.

[Ominous Music Plays]

And That Goes For Spider-Man, Too.

[Ringing]

J. Jonah Jameson Here,

And Whoever This Is, I'm Too Busy To Talk.

Too Busy To Talk About Getting Rid Of Spider-Man?

Say, Who Is This?

Just Call Me Mysterio.

And For A Fee...

I Will Rid You And The World Of Spider-Man Forever!

[Jameson Speaking
Indistinctly]

Of Course, If You're Not Interested--

Who Said
I Wasn't Interested?!

But, Uh, How Much Is It Going To Cost Me?

[Mysterio Speaking Indistinctly]

But--But That's
Preposterous!

Very Well.

It's A Deal.

But Remember,

Not A Penny Until Spider-Man Is Defeated

And Exposed For The Fraud That He Is.

Your Career Is At An End, Spider-Man.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Officer In Helicopter: All Right, Spider-Man.

Give Yourself Up.

In This Case,

The Best Place
For Me Is Down.

Oops, Here Come The Ground Forces.

[Sirens Blaring]

[Tires Screeching]

Police Above Me, Police Below Me.

Offhand, I'd Say There's No Place To Go.

[Helicopter Hovering]

Officer: We've Got You Covered, Spider-Man

Covered?

Thanks For The Idea.

He's Come Down
To The Street.

Get Him.

Officer: Surrender, Spider-Man...

Or We'll sh**t.

The Spidey
Seal Of Approval.

It's Stuck.

Somebody Get A Crowbar.

Not First Class,

But Right Now It's The Only Way To Go.

There He Is.

Just Like We Figured.

Here We Go Again.

This Calls For A Special Shield.

Officer: Give Up,
Spider-Man!

Give Up?
You Mean Go Up.

Officer: Cease Firing! Go After Him!

This Is No Place For A Growing Boy.

I've Got To--Oops!

I'm Caught.

Me, Stuck.
That's A Switch.

Switch. That's It!

This Had Better Work.

I Can't Look.

Is It Over?
Is He Gone?

He's Gone,
All Right.

The Captain Will Never Believe Us.

"Spider-Man Makes Fantastic Escape."

Spider-Man's Tougher Than I Figured.

I Have To Come Up With Another Plan.

Must Get My Hands
On That Money

Before Jameson Changes His Mind.

And There's
Only One Sure Way.

What's Going On Here?

Who's Cutting In
On My Line?

Don't You Know

You Can't Keep A Good Menace Down?

Jameson: Who Is This?

Your Friend And Ally
Mysterio.

Oh, You.

I Thought You Were Gonna Take Care Of Spider-Man.

He's As Good As Gone,

But First, I Want To Be Sure About The Money.

Look, You Get Spider-Man And You'll Get Your Money,

But Get Him Fast Or The Deal's Off.

I Have A Plan.

Now Listen Closely.

Hi, Betty,
What's New?

Well, I Woke Up This Morning With A Headache,

And When I Opened The Medicine Chest

All The Jars Fell Out.

When I Tried To Pick Them Up I Just--

Ok, Ok.
I'm Sorry I Asked.

So What's New With You?

I've Got To See
Mr. Jameson...

In A Hurry.

Sorry, Peter,
But He's Tied Up

With A Very Important Phone Call, And I--

Miss Brant, Have This Printed On Our Front Page.

Give It
Feature Billing.

At Last, I've Got Spider-Man Where I Want Him...

In My Web.

"If Spider-Man Wants To Know The Truth

"About The Midtown Museum Robbery,

"He Must Meet Mysterio

On Top Of The Brooklyn Bridge At Dawn."

Why, That Sounds
Dangerous.

You Mean It Sounds
Interesting.

I'll Be There....

Uh, With My Trusty Telephoto Camera.

[Dong]

[Dong]

[Dong]

[Dong]

[Dong]

If Spider-Man Dares To Meet That Challenge

In The Paper,

We'll Be
Waiting For Him.

I Know It's A Trap,

So I Better Move
Cautiously.

Officer:
See Anything Yet?

It Looks Like Something's Moving Up There,

But I Can't Be Sure.

If I Use My Web To Get To The Top,

I'm Bound To Be Seen,

But I'll Have
To Chance It.

There He Is!

Radio The Police
Helicopter.

One Way Or Another, We'll Get Him.

All Right, Mysterio,

Here I Am.

Where Are You?

What Kind Of Trick
Is That?

No Trick, Spider-Man.

I Am Mysterio,

And I'm Going
To Destroy You.

Spider-Man, You Have Met Your Match.

No False Modesty,
Please.

Very Clever.

Overconfident Fool!

My Power Is Greater
Than Yours.

Magnetized
Jet Shoes.

Wow.

Care To Go
Around Again?

What's Happened?

Have I Missed
Anything?

They're Doing A Lot Of Swinging,

But Nothing's
Happened Yet.

Good. I Want To See Spider-Man's Downfall

With My Own Eyes.

Try This For Size.

Big Talk,
Small Action.

Think So?
Try Dodging These.

I Don't Get It.

His Smog-Maker Dissolved The Webs.

Your Puny Little
Bag Of Tricks

Is Exhausted,
Spider-Man.

Not Quite, Weirdo.

Come On, Mysterio.

Come On,
Or The Deal's Off.

And Now For The Finishing Touch.

The Party's
Not Over Yet.

There's No Limit
To My Powers.

Tell That To
Your Press Agent.

I Can Get Away From You Anytime I Want To.

Oh, No, You Can't.

My Spider Sense Will Lead Me Right To You.

Mysterio: Ha Ha Ha.

Here I Am,
Spider-Man.

Come And Find Me.

Jameson: He's Falling!

Radio The Helicopter, The Shore Patrol.

Pick Him Up.

Don't Count Your Victories Before They Hatch, Mysterio.

This Was Just
The First Round.

Right Now, I Think I'll Go For A Nice Long Swim...

Underwater.

Now To Get The Money From Jameson.

The Game Is Won.

Safe...
For The Time Being,

But I Must Find Some Way To Meet Mysterio On My Terms.

Ok, Parker,
Where Were You

When The Biggest Scoop Of The Year

Was Taking Place?

That's The Trouble With You Teenagers.

Always Goofing Off.

But, Sir--

But Nothing!

A Battle Between Spider-Man And Mysterio

On Top Of
The Brooklyn Bridge,

And Not One Picture.

But What's That?

It Is I...

Conqueror Of Spider-Man.

And I've Come To Collect My Fee.

Now Just A Minute,
Mysterio.

They Haven't Found Spider-Man Yet.

No One Could've Survived That Fall.

And A Bargain
Is A Bargain.

I Want My Money...Now.

They Must've Been Born Under The Same Sign.

Yeah, The Dollar Sign.

Uh-Uh, Not So Fast.

You'll Get
The Other Half

When You Can Prove

Spider-Man Is
Out Of The Way.

How Can He Be
So Cruel?

I Just Know

Spider-Man's
Still Alive.

I'm Sure He Is,
Too, Betty.

He'll Be Found.

And When He Is,
I'll Be Back.

How Does He Do That?

Who Cares?

As Long As He Got Rid Of Spider-Man.

That Little Transistor I Slipped Into Mysterio's Cloak

Is Registering
Loud And Clear

From This Tv Studio.

Hmm, I Always Did Want To See Behind The Scenes.

Print It.
That's All For Today.

You're Still
The Best Stunt Man

In The Business,
Joe.

You Can Say
That Again.

My Spider-Pin Transistor's

Picking Up Impulses Stronger Than Ever,

And They Seem To Be Coming From That Room.

I Won't Need This Disguise Much Longer.

As Soon As Spider-Man's Body Is Found,

I'll Collect The Other Half Of That Bill From Jameson.

Spider-Man: I Wouldn't Count On That, Mysterio.

Spider-Man.

You Didn't Think I'd Let You Choose

The Time And Place For This Round, Did You?

Yahh, I Can
Beat You Here

Just The Way I Did On The Bridge.

You'll Never See Me.

Even When You're Visible I Can't See Your Kind.

Mysterio: You Don't Have A Chance, Spider-Man.

Ok, Mysterio.

You May Have Me Beat, But First Admit One Thing.

It Was You,
Disguised As Me,

Who Committed The Robbery, Wasn't It?

Of Course.

Only I Have The Genius To Imitate Your Powers.

Thanks For The Confession, Mysterio.

You'll Be Happy To Know That Your Resonant Tones

Are Captured For Posterity

On My Handy-Dandy Pocket Tape Recorder.

You'll Never Live To Take It To The Police.

You're Finished,
Spider-Man.

Give Me That
Tape Recorder.

Coax Me.

My Boy Scout Training
Taught Me

Always To Be Prepared.

That Mask
Won't Protect You

Against The Power
Of Mysterio.

There's One Thing You Seem To Forget.

Your Power Is Artificial,

Mine Is Natural.

You're In There Somewhere.

Sooner Or Later, I'm Gonna Connect.

Try Swinging Your Way Out Of This.

[Mysterio Laughing
Maniacally]

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Heh Heh, Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.

"No Longer Will The Terrifying Figure Of Spider-Man

"Menace Manhattan,

For He Has Met The Fate He Deserves."

Aren't You Being A Little Hasty, Mr. Jameson?

Spider-Man May
Still Be Alive.

What A Horrible Thought, Miss Brant,

But Even If You're Right,

Which I Doubt,

Spider-Man Has Been Defeated In Public.

Furthermore, He's Been Proven A Thief.

He'll Never Be The Idol Of Those Mixed-Up Kids Again.

Care For Another Sample Of My Powers?

Don't Sell My Powers Short, Cloud-Head.

Gas.

But My Mask
Will Protect Me.

Not From This Powerful Chemical Spray.

Chemical? It's Dissolving My Mask.

Mysterio: So It Is, My Webby Friend.

And Now
For The Final Blow.

What Was That?

Probably A Sonic Boom.

This Is The Tenth Take,

And We're Gonna
Finish This

Even If We Have
An Earthquake.

Ok, Roll 'Em.

It's Zingo, Terror Of The Trail.

That's Right, Boys, And I'm Looking

For My Little Prairie Chicken Adelaide.

Zingo, You Shouldn't Have Come Here.

You Know The Sheriff Is Gunning For You.

I'm Not Afeard Of--

[Crash]

Enough Is Enough.

See What's Going On
In There.

[Crash]

[Gasps]

Aah! No, Not That!

That's Not In The Script.

Then I'll Just
Have To Ad Lib.

You'll Pay For This, Spider-Man...

Right Now!

[Crash]

How's That For
A Down Payment?

Stupendous! Colossal!

Keep Rolling.

[Crash]

[Thud]

I'm Not The Greatest Stunt Man In The World

For Nothing.

Thanks For Telling Me Who You Are...

And In Front
Of Witnesses.

Why, You...

[Crash]

Now, That's What I Call Using The Old Head.

When The Police Arrive,

Tell Them That This Little Package

Is From Their Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

I Don't Believe It.

I Just Won't Believe It.

Mr. Jameson, What Is It?

You Look Sick.

I Am Sick.

Cancel All
My Appointments--

Even The Ones
I Don't Have--

Then Get Something For My Headache.

Yes, Sir.

Mysterio, A Fraud.

Spider-Man, Innocent.

I Don't Believe It.

You'd Better
Believe It.

I've Got Mysterio's Full Confession

On Tape.

The Police
Have Mysterio,

And Now I Want You To Take Back

All Those Things You Said About Me.

I, Uh, Uh--What Things?

That I Was A Menace
To Society.

And I Want It
In Writing.

Uh, Uh, Can't Do It Now.

Have To Get The Night Edition On The Presses.

Very Well.
Just Let Me Know

When You're Ready
To Apologize.

Help!
What Are You Doing?

Just Making Sure

You Don't Change
Your Mind.

Let Me Down From Here.

Help. Help!

The Web Will Come Down By Itself...

Eventually.

Meanwhile, You Might Get A New Point Of View.

Spider-Man,
Come Back!

I'll Retract
Everything I Said.

Jameson: Help!
