01x10 - If This Be My Destiny...

[bunniefuu]

-[Peter] Hey, ugly!
-[gasps, groans]

I don't think she's interested, buddy!

[Doctor Strange] Where do you think
you're going?

[Peter] Are you okay?

-[♪ suspenseful music playing]
-Nice to meet you, Pete. I'm Nico Minoru.

[groans loudly]

I... am... Spider-Man.

[Nico] Seeing you today,
watching you save people,

and not even thinking about yourself,

I saw a hero. The same one
that saved me last year at Midtown.

-You can burden me anytime!
-Thanks, Petey. It means a lot.

Jeanne? You're not supposed to be up here.

-[Peter grunts]
-I'm trying to help you understand

what's really going on.

Osborn is hiding something.

Oscorp is better than ever.

We're even close to space exploration.

What are you babbling on about?

[Dr. Wittman] Thanks to the blood sample

we received the other evening,
we will be able to successfully replicate

Spider-Man's unique DNA structure

-in no time.
-Splendid.

[Grayfield on radio] Morning,
Rockford students. Coach Grayfield, here.

I just wanted to congratulate our boys
on giving it their all

-in last week's championship game.
-[sighs]

[Grayfield] We didn't bring home the gold,
that's okay. Happens... [clears throat]

And we'll be having some tryouts
over summer for a number of positions,

including quarterback.
Hope to see some new faces out there.

Come on, Petey. Where are you?

Hey, I'm sure Pete's close.
Just give him a few more minutes.

[♪ tense music playing]

Uh, dude, Nico says Pearl is flipping out.
Something about a diorama.

I know! I know!
I'm bringing it right after this.

[Harry] Okay, well, wrap it up.
I don't think you've got a lot of time.

-[grunts]
-[Peter exclaims] I'm working on it.

[Harry] Maybe you should cut back
on Spider-Manning before school.

Just a thought.

Whoa! Okay. I don't control
when people's cars get stolen, Harry.

[exclaims, groans]

[♪ tense music continuing]

[phone chimes]

-[Pearl gasps]
-[Mr. Taylor] Big day today, everybody.

We'll be presenting
our chemical reaction models to the class.

It will factor in heavily
to your final grades.

[sighs] Who should go first?

-[sighs wearily]
-[Nico] Me!

-[Mr. Taylor] Nico?
-[girl] What?

[chuckles] Usually I have to wake you up
when it's time to give a presentation.

-[students gasping]
-[chuckles] Good one.

Guess I must have had
too much coffee this morning

-because I got energy to burn.
-[exclaims] Huh?

[Peter] Will the owner of a red sedan
please come see me?

I chased your car down to a chop shop.

Hey, thank you, Spider-Man.

-And here's your... your...
-[people chattering]

-[Peter] No, please. [groans]
-It's yours.

Thanks! I gotta run. Stay safe.

-[crowd] Bye!
-[crowd applauding]

And, uh, that, uh-huh...

explains... photosynthesis.

[groans]

-Okay! That was... long.
-[students yawning]

Thank you, [sighs] and let's move on
to Pearl, Emma, and Peter.

[♪ tense music playing]

[Pearl chuckles nervously]

Um... Mr. Taylor, our model is--

-[door opens]
-Wait! Don't start yet. [grunts]

-[students gasp]
-Right here. [chuckles]

[gasps]

-[whispers] Peter, what happened to it?
-[pants] What? Funny story.

-We are waiting, you three.
-[chuckles]

Uh... Um... [clears throat]

Iron oxidation

-is a progressive process...
-[gasps]

[Emma] ...that results in
a flaky brown layer...

-[students gasp]
-[Emma] With these coins being produced

in the Han Dynasty way back in 1800...

Which is why way my grandma still uses
that cast iron skillet to this very day.

[boy] That was surprisingly informative.

Rust! And if you have any more questions,
please consult our diorama.

-And follow me.
-[camera shutters]

[cheers, applause]

[Mr. Taylor] Top notch work, y'all.

Well, have to call it an A-minus
since your model is a bit, uh... lacking.

[both chuckle]

You cut it close there.
Don't scare me like that again, Peter.

Yeah, sorry I--
Wait, you just called me Peter.

-[♪ whimsical music playing]
-[Pearl chuckles]

-Hey, thanks for buying me time.
-Of course!

You gonna be able to live
with the fact that you got an A-minus

-on a science project?
-[chuckles]

Yeah, well, you know,
grades aren't everything.

Boom! This is what peak
academic performance looks like.

[chuckles] I'm only a freshman

and they're already declaring me
omega c*m laude.

That sounds like you made it up. [slurps]

Oh! [chuckles] Oh.

Don't be jealous just because you have
nothing to flex about, Parker.

The NYPD has none other
than Spider-Man to thank

for solving a number of automobile thefts.

The vigilante single-handedly took down...

-You're right. I'm nobody special.
-[Asha] Hey!

Don't say that, Peter. We're all special.

Indeed you are.
If you weren't, I wouldn't have hired you.

You've all completed remarkable projects
for Oscorp during your internship

and it's my privilege to oversee them
personally in their final stages.

Really? You didn't seem to be paying
much attention before.

-Oh, make no mistake, I was, Jeanne.
-[♪ pensive music playing]

But you were all under enough pressure
without me adding to it.

Now, follow me, everyone.

Oh, uh, I thought
we were set up on this floor.

I had Dr. Wittman move everything
to a more secure testing lab.

[whirs, clangs]

[echoing] Welcome to Project Monolith.

[♪ menacing music playing]

[Norman] The most ambitious venture
in Oscorp's history.

[♪ menacing music continuing]

Asha, you probably recognize the star maps

you and the aerospace team spent
so long drawing up.

That's right, Jeanne.
Your quantum tunneling algorithms are

a vital part of this too.

As is Amadeus' masterwork
of engineering. It's--

A mechanical frame capable of suspending
an Einstein-Rosen bridge.

[chuckles] Yes!

Yeah, I figured out what we were
really doing a long time ago, Chief.

-The schematics you wanted...
-[both gasp]

[Amadeus] ...built were a dead giveaway.

It's a gateway, people! To outer space.

And I'm betting Pete's magnetic generator
powers the whole thing.

[♪ menacing music continuing]

A gateway?
Dr. Connors, did you know about this?

No. What's all this about, Norman?

It's about doing the impossible.

Together, we've unlocked
faster than light travel.

Instant matter relocation.
The limitless resources of the galaxy

are now at our very fingertips.

And I say, let the harvest begin!

I always knew I'd change the world.

We've already seen this type of technology
utilized on Earth, just not by humanity.

Thor's arrival in New Mexico,
the Chitauri invaders here in New York,

and reports about the unidentified attack
that left Midtown High in ruins.

There are beings that can traverse space
in an instant. Now, we can too.

Each of those events caused
massive amounts of destruction, Norman.

You have to think
about what you're inviting here.

Oh, I have, Carla,
and I'm inviting evolution.

It's a wild, wild universe out there,
and a flawed group like the Avengers

isn't enough to keep us dominant in it.

So, we're pushing forward on our own.

We will take from the stars themselves
and become as formidable

as those we once revered as gods.

None of that matters.
We didn't agree to this.

Being involved with this project
will skyrocket your careers.

I always have your best interests
at heart, Jeanne.

No one knows that better than, Peter.
Right, Peter?

-I-- Mr. Osborn, I--
-Show them, Dr. Wittman.

Punch in some stellar coordinates
from a quiet quadrant.

-On it, sir.
-[beeping]

Uh, no, I...
I haven't vetted those coordinates...

Relax, it's a barren void, kid.
We're just trying to prove a point here.

-[♪ menacing music playing]
-[whooshing]

[Norman] Aren't you all amazed?

I mean, look at what
we've been able to accomplish.

Uh, Mr. Osborn,
I haven't done anything yet.

[♪ mysterious music playing]

[gasps]

Norman Osborn,
I am Doctor Stephen Strange,

and your experiment must not continue.

You are opening the door to the cosmos,
and you cannot even comprehend

the unimaginable horrors
that lie beyond it.

On behalf of the sorcerers of the world,
I'm putting an end to this.

[chuckles] "The sorcerers"? Is that
a new group of superhuman lunatics

I'm supposed to be aware of?

It's you! You're the guy from Midtown.

Greenwich Village, actually.

Wait. You're saying he's the one
who leveled that school?

It was you! You destroyed Midtown High!

You're the one creating disasters, not me!

What are you even talking about?
I was never there.

There's an eyewitness who says otherwise.
Or maybe you don't remember

with all the collateral damage
you've caused.

-Excuse me?
-I will not.

You guys with your powers,
floating above us as if you're better,

not realizing the problems you're making
for us to clean up.

The lives you're changing
with the people you hurt,

the destruction you cause,
the schools you destroy!

You're delusional.
This isn't 21 Jump Street.

I'm not going undercover in schools
and blowing them up.

[yells] Come on!
The only threat here is that thing!

[Norman] No. It's you.

I don't know many sane people
who call themselves sorcerers.

Security, handle him!

-[♪ tense music playing]
-[Doctor Strange groaning]

Wittman, activate Monolith.

It's time to prove
all the naysayers wrong!

I don't know, Mr. Osborn,

maybe you should listen
to the magic doctor?

-Do it now!
-[beeps]

[warbling]

[♪ tense music continuing]

[electricity crackling]

[groans] No!

[grunts]

-You have to shut it down now!

Hey, Doc, you might wanna
start running now.

Yes, I think you're absolutely correct.
Thank you, Spider-Man.

-[Dr. Wittman yelps]

[Spider-Man] Come on, you traveled
all the way across the galaxy

and this is what you wanna do?
Ugh, tourists.

[♪ heroic music swells]

[exclaims]

You're welcome.

-Mr. Osborn, you okay?
-I didn't intend for this, Peter.

You have to believe me,
I never thought this would happen.

You-- [sighs] You gotta get outta here.

[♪ intense music playing]

Nice of you to join us.

-The name's Spider-Man.
-I'm Strange.

No more strange than
the gooey alien trying to k*ll us!

-[snarling]
-[Spider-Man grunts]

You're going to the Dark Dimension

until I can figure out
how to get you back home.

[grunts]

Wait!

-[grunts]
-[snarling]

[muffled grunts, snarls]

[whooshing]

-[grunts]
-[Spider-Man laughs] Whoa!

Can you teach me to do that? [grunts]

Well, only if you teach me to do that!

[roaring]

This alien is taking everything
we can dish out.

We need to figure out how to get this guy
back where he came from now!

[♪ intense music continuing]

I think I can get that
wormhole thing open again,

-but I'll need a bit of time.
-I got you.

[crackling]

[growling]

Okay, this thing has
definitely seen better days.

Uh, I might need longer than I thought
to run some repairs!

I don't think we've got time for you to--

[Spider-Man groans]

[Doctor Strange groans]

[Spider-Man panting] So,
you do this type of thing often or...

-It's becoming more and more common.
-[glass shatters]

[Spider-Man] Huh.

In other news,
Oscorp is seemingly in hot water

following a disastrous test gone awry.

Although a spokesperson
for the company has told us that

this test went as planned,
we have heard word that

-a few of the employees involved--
-[clicks]

[sighs] All right, I have had enough
of Oscorp for right now.

Oh! Oh, Harry, I'm so sorry.

Oh, no, trust me. I understand.

All right. I'm gonna go out and run
a few last minute errands.

Call me if you need me.

-So, I guess your internship is over.
-[groans]

The one where we unknowingly
opened a portal to the same alien

that destroyed our school? Yeah.

So, what does that mean
for your whole Spider-Man thing?

[Harry] That's a good question.

I mean, I'm sure my dad
still wants to help you, Peter.

It's just a matter
of if you want his help.

And I can't say
I'd blame you if you don't.

-[♪ pensive music playing]
-I... I don't know.

The internship was awesome.

I mean, getting to work with Dr. Connors,

getting to innovate with Asha,
Jeanne, even Cho.

And Mr. Osborn helped me
become a hero that...

you know, that everyone knows
and [chuckles] loves... mostly.

But all the secrets and lies...

I don't know that I can fully trust
Oscorp again. Or Mr. Osborn.

Honestly, you guys would've been
better off if my dad had just given you

a place to do your own thing,

without him and the other adults
pulling the strings.

If it were up to me, I'd just sit back
and let you all be geniuses.

-[♪ chill music playing]
-[Nico] Then why don't you?

[both] What?

Why don't you create a company
to do what you just said?

You can hire young, hungry geniuses
like Peter and his friend-terns.

Give them the tools they need to do good
without the fear of being exploited.

[chuckles] Nico, uh, that's a great idea,
but Harry can't just start a company--

-No. I could!
-You could?

I mean, I think I could.

-[gasps]
-No, I totally could.

I've got investments
and the connections to pull this off.

-[chuckles] Nico, you're a genius!
-Obviously.

Mm, don't look now, Nico, but I think
you might actually have a flair

for big business after all.

[groans] I think I'm gonna be sick.

[web fires]

[Spider-Man] Something told me
I'd find you here.

[♪ somber music playing]

You time-traveled, didn't you?

Yes. And you don't need to be
a master of the mystic arts

to know what happened here
was a mistake that could have...

Should have been prevented.

Luckily, no one got seriously hurt today.
Or back then.

That we're aware of.

But who knows who many lives were altered
by me and that thing,

going back and causing this?

Well, for starters, mine was.

I was there the day you showed up.

That was also the same day [chuckles]
I became... me.

-[♪ pensive music playing]
-But... I believe that things

that are supposed to happen
always find a way to happen.

Sometimes they make sense,
sometimes they don't.

And sometimes they really, really hurt.

But, it's okay, because those things
put us on the path to becoming

who we're meant to be.
And this is who I'm meant to be.

Hey, you're pretty wise for your age.

-What'd you say your name was again?
-Pet--

I mean, Spider-Man.

[Doctor Strange chuckles]

Good save, kid.

Wait! I... I gotta ask.

If that necklace can take you to the past,

you've probably been
to the future too, right?

Could you tell me what to expect?

I... I wanna make sure I'm ready
for whatever comes next.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Even if I knew,
I wouldn't be able to tell you.

But something tells me...

you're ready.

Looks like Osborn's kid is following

Claims to have good intentions though.

Yeah, everyone usually does.
You mind keeping an eye on him, Finesse?

Sure. I already infiltrated one company

-to spy on an Osborn for you.

Why not do it again?

And they say sarcasm isn't a superpower.

Yeah. I know.
At the very least, community college.

[vehicle approaching]

-Yeah. I promise, Mom.
