Spider-Man (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 5 - Generations - full transcript

[dramatic music]

‐ Good morning, Horizon High.

This is your new principal,
Dr. Connors.

Reminder:
all students must turn in

their completed lab projects
to the transport drones

at precisely 2:59 p. m. today,
no exceptions.

Speaking of no exceptions,
starting Monday,

students are required to wear
their new Horizon uniforms

at all times.

‐ [groans] ‐ [groans]

‐ Man, Dr. Connors seems
particularly cold‐blooded.



And not just 'cause he
turned into a lizard once.

‐ [chuckles] Cheer
up, fellow inmates.

Horizon is about to get
a splash of color.

‐ Good morning, Horizon High.
Are you ready to party?

[upbeat music playing]
[students cheering]

‐ Pretty easy to hack
into a security bot

when I programmed them
in the first place.

‐ Hmm?

[blaster fires]

‐ All students proceed to
class in an orderly fashion.

‐ [groans] Another
day at No Fun High.

‐ I miss Max as principal.

He encouraged us
to be individuals,

to push boundaries.



‐ Well, unfortunately,
Max pushed the boundaries

so far with his Venom technology

that he got fired.

‐ I know Max made mistakes,
but I don't trust Dr. Connors

at all.

I mean,
what's with this new faculty?

And these drone deliveries
to the faculty lounge?

And then there's
our lab projects.

We're testing
all these random components

with no explanation.

It's like they want us to build
some bigger project,

but they don't want us
to know what it is.

‐ Huh? Whoa!
‐ I agree. It's sketchy.

And I'm no fan of Connors,
but not everything

is a supervillain plot.

‐ Well, actually,
at my old school,

everything was
a supervillain plot.

But that's what happens

when your school
was secretly run by AIM.

Guys, I think we better get
to work if our projects

have to be completed
by precisely 2:59 p. m.

[boys groan]

‐ Grady, doesn't it bother you
that we don't know why

they want us to test the limits
of this fluid injector?

‐ Well, we've all heard
Dr. Connors' old saying,

"Don't ask why
and stop talking to me,"

so I'm gonna focus
on the what and the how.

Like testing every what
I can think of:

apple juice, pudding,
refried beans, peanut butter.

‐ How about trying something
that's not from your lunch bag?

‐ I agree, which is why
I'm pushing the limits now

with a super‐corrosive
acidic compound.

‐ Uh, Grady, wait!

‐ Don't worry.

My calculations confirm
the injector can handle it.

‐ [whimpers] ‐ [yelps] Huh?

‐ But you didn't calculate
if the containment unit

can handle it, did you?

‐ Well, my data on that was...
not as detailed.

[acid sizzles]

Um, what's one floor below us?

[confused chatter]

Three floors below us?

‐ That acid is heading straight
for the Project Graveyard!

‐ I recall from my inventory
that one of the abandoned

projects stored there is some
kind of sonic pulse generator.

But there's no chance
the acid would fall

directly on top of that machine.

[loud rumble] [both gasp]

[panicked chatter]

Okay, maybe some chance.

[both shout

[panicked chatter]

‐ Why do I always
destroy my high schools?

‐ Grady, look out! [grunts]

‐ Huh?

Wow! Ooh, so heavy!

That support beam's
not gonna hold.

‐ Everyone!
‐ We need to evacuate now.

‐ On the ground.
Keep your heads down.

[dramatic music]

‐ Wait, wait. Where's Peter?

‐ No looking!

‐ I mean heads down, for safety.

[all grunting]

‐ Thanks, guys.

I know I promised
the school board

I'd never be Spidey
at Horizon again, but...

‐ But you're clearly still
wearing your web shooters.

Well played.

If anyone asks, we'll say
Spider‐Girl showed up

and did this.

‐ And then
mysteriously disappeared.

Hmm? [all gasp]

‐ Attention, students.
Return to class immediately.

[electricity crackling]

‐ Anya! Are you all right?

‐ Maria?
What are you doing here?

‐ I was hoping to surprise
my baby stepsister.

But not like this.

‐ Ms. Corazon,
the projects in there

might be irreparably damaged.

I need all the help
I can get from faculty.

‐ Wait, you're faculty?

I thought you were away,
working on your PhD.

‐ I was, but when Dr. Connors
offered to let me finish

my research while teaching
at Horizon,

I jumped on the first plane
back to New York.

‐ So awesome!

Guys, you've gotta meet
my stepsister, Maria.

She was my inspiration
to pursue science.

‐ Ay, don't blame me,
Anya Bananya.

You were always too smart
for your own good.

‐ Introductions can wait.

We need to salvage
those student projects.

‐ All due respect, Dr. Connors,

shouldn't we be more concerned

about the students themselves?

‐ Student safety
is my number one concern.

Unlike my predecessor.

I would just hate to see all
their hard work go to waste.

‐ Huh?

Huh?

Guys, these vials
have the same markings

as the serums Swarm had.

‐ Where'd these come from?

‐ Only one way to find out.

‐ Attention, students.

Clear this area and return
to class immediately.

‐ Uncle Raymond, where are you?

[keyboard clicking]

[suspenseful music]

‐ Look familiar?

‐ [gasps] Where
did you find this?

‐ You know those
drone deliveries

to the faculty lounge?

Well, it's not coffee
and doughnuts.

‐ I've been searching for clues

to my Uncle Raymond's
whereabouts for weeks,

ever since we found his serums

in that underground
monster fight club.

Now you're telling me
the Jackal is still

somehow connected
with our school?

‐ His serums definitely are.

But who knows who's
shipping them and from where?

‐ We might be able
to trace the where

with this motherboard I borrowed

from the transport drone.

‐ Borrowed?

‐ The harbor?
I need to check this out now.

‐ I'll go with you, Gwen.

Meanwhile,
someone needs to find out

what Dr. Connors is up to
with Jackal serum.

‐ We can handle that.

‐ Oh, man, sneaking
into the teachers' lounge.

I've always wanted
to see where the teachers

eat their fancy food,
make up their stupid rules,

and sit on their
super‐comfy couches.

‐ I think you're getting
way ahead of yourself, uh,

not to mention way ahead of me.

Can you slow down a little?

‐ If the Jackal's still alive,

he could be using Horizon High

to re‐create his spider army‐‐
or worse.

‐ According to Miles' data,
the drone delivery originated

from that warehouse.

‐ No time to waste.

If my uncle is in there,
then we need to stop him.

[grunts]

‐ Did you not see
the door latch?

Well, you sure showed this
empty warehouse who's boss.

‐ [ragged breathing]

‐ Authorized personnel only.

Please present identification.

‐ [moans and grunts]

‐ Access granted.

Warning! Security breach.

[distorted]
Warning! Security breach.

‐ A faculty lounge
with high security?

[panel beeping]

I'd say that falls into
the category of "abnormal."

‐ I don't know.

If I had couches as soft
as I think theirs are,

I'd want to keep them
really secure.

[panting]

Please...

I've done everything you wanted.

I need the serum again.

[groans, sighs]

Thank you.

‐ [sighs] I was so sure
I'd find the Jackal this time.

But it's a dead end.

‐ Or an excuse to test this new
variation on my webbing.

Web‐dusting!

Oh, I should copyright that.

Yes! Evidence.

Footprints and wheel marks
that suddenly stop at a wall.

‐ Conclusion: the Jackal's lab
is behind said wall.

‐ Remember, the last person
using those serums was Swarm.

He could've stolen them
from Jackal, so...

it might not be your uncle
behind all this.

Be ready for anything.

‐ Access code.

‐ Whoa, oh! I got this.
Web dust!

[chuckles] Copyright Spider‐Man.

‐ Access denied.

‐ Okay, new conclusion.

It's a trap!

‐ I see the code buttons.

Just gotta get them
in the right order.

‐ Access denied.

‐ [whimpers] Oh, no. No, no.

‐ You do know that means

256 possible
four‐button combinations,

1,024 five‐button combinations,

and 4,096
six‐button combinations.

‐ Well, minus the two
I already tried.

‐ Unless you can type
at the speed of light,

we are going to drown.

Wait, what if it's not
a sequenced code?

[inhales sharply]

[dramatic music]

‐ Access granted.

‐ How did you possibly know
what pattern to enter?

‐ I didn't enter any pattern.

It's a DNA code.

Those four keys,
pressed at the same time,

reacted to my touch.

The only way
that could have worked

is because my DNA is similar
to my uncle's.

This is a Jackal lab.

Well, my suit needed a
wash anyway.

I was gonna say...

‐ You sure this will work?

‐ Trust me. ‐ Anya?

‐ Huh?
‐ What are you guys doing?

‐ Uh...

‐ Definitely not reprograming
a security bot,

'cause why would anyone
do anything so stupid

and blatantly against the rules?

[upbeat music playing]

‐ [sighs] Okay,
here's the truth.

We think something suspicious
is going on

in the faculty lounge.

Seriously?
Like nefarious lesson planning?

Or mysterious report card prep?

‐ Look, you have access, right?

Can you do me a favor
and look around?

Check for secret experiments

or strange chemicals
or something?

Please?

‐ This better not be
a prank, Anya.

‐ Pinkie swear.
Like we did as kids.

‐ Okay, okay. I'll check it out.

But I can't have
you two loitering

where you don't belong.

[bot beeping]

‐ If this is
Professor Warren's lab,

he has definitely upped
his creepy evil genius vibe.

‐ My uncle's actions
should put him in prison,

but I can't lose hope there's
still a good man inside.

[gasping]

Well, if he's alive,
I don't even want to know

what he has in mind
for these ugly things.

‐ Cloning tubes.

He's back
at his old tricks again,

like I was afraid of.

‐ Maybe these could be old,
abandoned cloning tubes,

not even active, right?

‐ Or very active.

‐ Look out!

‐ [sighs] What's keeping Maria?

How long does it take to poke
around a faculty lounge?

‐ Uh, it didn't seem like it
was high on her to‐do list.

But that doesn't mean
we don't have other options.

The security bot is now
completely under my control,

and get this:
it has the faculty lounge

access code keyed into it.

We're in!

Oh, man!

I don't see
a single comfy couch.

Dreams crushed.

[electronic beeping]

What's that?

‐ Check it out.

I think it's about to get
a lot more interesting.

‐ That is a lot of Jackal serum.

‐ And that is our lab work.

What are they making
out of all of our projects?

‐ The Venom Seed? This is bad.

As in a planet
full of symbiotes bad.

‐ Oh, no.
Maria could be in there.

We have to go now.

Ugh! You really need
to brush more.

It appears to be
amitsukurina owstonihybrid,

also known as a Goblin Shark.

‐ Sure, 'cause
being a regular shark

just wasn't horrifying enough.

‐ [growls] [both grunt]

‐ Just our luck.

It's cornered us
on the opposite side

of the escape elevator shaft.

‐ Unless there's
another elevator right here.

Let's hope this is also
activated by a DNA scanner.

‐ Access granted. ‐ Yes!

Another way out! Great work!

I give you an A‐plus.

[both growl]

A‐minus.

‐ So maybe we quit with
the opening of strange doors?

It has been all shark hybrids
and zero Jackals.

‐ Care to revise
that hypothesis?

I Knew Raymond Warren
would be here.

‐ I don't use that name anymore.

I'm only the Jackal now!

‐ It doesn't have to be
that way, Unc‐‐Professor!

Please listen to me.
[both growl]

[tense music]

‐ [sighs] Keep your head
in the game.

Goblin Sharks have
52 rows of teeth.

‐ That is oddly specific
knowledge.

‐ I went through a shark phase.

‐ Whatever knocked your
security bot off‐line in there,

it can't be good.

‐ No time for subtlety.

‐ Security breach!
Security breach!

‐ My bot went this way.

‐ Um, isn't there supposed
to be a door here?

‐ There is now.

Man! What could've done this?

‐ Maybe some new kind
of symbiote?

What is that?

They're extracting DNA
from the Venom Seed.

‐ For what? [sighs]

Don't tell me they're trying
to make a new Venom.

Don't these people ever learn?

‐ Always knew you were too
smart for your own good, Anya.

‐ Maria? You know who I am?

‐ I knew you wouldn't be able
to resist coming in here.

[both groaning]

‐ We can't hang here forever.

‐ Got an idea.

It might get weird,
but just follow my lead.

[all growl]

‐ Suckers!

‐ Huh, dissolved?

That seems like a design flaw.
[yelps]

[both growl]

Clothesline! Now!

‐ Two grotesque water creatures
down, one to go.

[grunting]

My shark phase
is officially over!

‐ Don't stick your nose
in other people's business.

Uh, you got a little something
on your face.

Ha! The score: spiders three,
shark hybrids zip!

‐ We still have a Jackal
to corral.

‐ I see you've made it
past my flawed experiments.

Finding the perfect balance
of evolution is never easy.

‐ Neither is finding
new schemes.

I mean, building
another monster army?

Isn't that one played out
by now?

‐ Ha! A monster army!

That's what you think
I've been doing?

You have no idea the enormity

of the plans underfoot.

‐ I've been searching for you
for a long time.

You need to return
to your family.

You need help.

‐ [laughs] Help? For what?

My brilliant mind,

my superior genetics,

or my revolutionary
breakthroughs

in the possibilities
of evolution?

No, child,
it is you who will need help

if you hope to survive
what's in store for you.

[explosion] [both grunt]

Oh, I seem to have
left out the part

where I reveal
all my plans to you.

All my secrets
will drown in this lab.

[laughs]

‐ What are you doing?
We need to get out of here.

‐ [grunts] No!

I'm trying to access
his secret files.

I can't leave without some idea
of what he's up to

or who he's working for.

‐ Oh, no.

‐ Miles and Spider‐Girl
aren't answering their phones.

‐ We need to get back
to Horizon now!

‐ Huh?

‐ Found the comfy couch.

‐ Sorry for the extreme
precautions, Anya,

but Dr. Connors and I
didn't want you and Miles

discovering our surprise
before it was ready.

‐ Wait, you know who I am too?

[sighs] Why do we even bother
with these masks?

‐ What surprise?

‐ In due time.

‐ Don't act coy.

We know you're trying
to create a new Venom.

‐ Trying? I've succeeded.

But that's only part
of the surprise.

‐ You're smart kids.

Do you have any idea
what happens

when you combine symbiote DNA
with the Jackal's latest serum?

‐ I don't know, but I'm guessing

it's a lot more dangerous
than anything Max Modell

ever did at this school.

‐ Peter Parker,
you are in direct violation

of Horizon High's strict

"no Spider‐Man on campus"
policy.

‐ Make a move, and your friends
will suffer the consequences.

‐ Maria, why are you doing this?

‐ I think I can shed
some light on that.

We got to the Jackal's
private lab notes.

‐ Good. Then you know
who's behind all of this.

[suspenseful music]

both: Norman Osborn?

‐ The only thing that wasn't
in the Jackal's notes...

‐ Is how you're
still alive, Norman.

‐ [chuckles] Alive?

For too long, I have barely
been alive.

But that changes now.

‐ Those are
the student projects!

‐ Yes, I thank you all
for your hard work.

Also for your heroic curiosity,

which saved me the effort

of having to capture
all of you myself.

Now you can bear witness

as I reach my fullest potential.

[all gasp] ‐ Huh?

‐ As I achieve my destiny.

‐ As I become...

the Dark Goblin!

[laughing maniacally]

‐ That was it,

the moment that would forever
replay in my mind.

My greatest defeat
at the hands of Spider‐Man.

Though severely injured,

I would not let it be my end.

I reveled in failure,

using it to fuel my hatred.

I vowed to rise again

to find the strength
to defeat Spider‐Man,

once and for all.

My body was damaged,

so I needed others
carry out my will,

such as Curt Connors.

The side effects
of past experiments

left him grappling
with his lizard side.

I could help him with that
for a price‐‐

the price of obedience.

Connors became my phantom limb,

putting my plans into motion.

If I was going to defeat
Spider‐Man,

I had to become more.

There was only one thing
I had ever seen

that had nearly destroyed
my nemesis‐‐

Venom.

Knowing Max Modell's
personal trauma,

and his driven personality,

I suspected he was
still working with a sample

of the symbiote,

so I had Connors plant
the Technovore

in Horizon High,
a creature that consumed tech,

thus forcing Spider‐Man to use
a non‐technological means

in defeating it.

This confirmed my suspicions,

and exposed Modell in a way
that I alone could exploit.

I pulled the strings
to have Modell ousted,

and his school became mine.

But I now had Modell's research

to perfect
the synthetic symbiote,

combining it with a strain
of Jackal's newest serum,

specifically designed
to enable my mind

to finally heal.

It has empowered me

to take my vengeance.

‐ Oh wait, are you finally done?

[record scratches]

Evil weirdoes sure love

to talk about themselves.

Am I right?

‐ I've watched you
from the shadows, Spider‐Man.

Swarm's Monster League‐‐

at first, it was just
a way to fund my research,

but it became a way to study
you and your team's actions

in close quarters.

I know your strength
isn't only your powers.

It's your support system,
your team.

So I developed
an even stronger one of my own.

Jackal?

‐ Huh?
‐ I've been looking forward

to finally spending some
quality time with you, Gwen.

‐ You‐‐you know who I am?

‐ Hey, sis, science fact:

the tarantula is deadly
to other spiders.

Guess what my new code name is?

‐ Maria? No.

‐ So we're going one‐on‐one?

Well, whoever you got for me,
I can take it.

‐ Ohh.

‐ Swarm? The bee guy?

Why do I get the bee guy?

‐ Pairing us up, huh?

Of all the heroes,
you picked me?

I feel like the luckiest spider
in the whole hidden lair.

Overconfident, Spider‐Man?

That's very unlike you.

Eliminate them.

‐ Okay guys, the new Goblin here

may have hired some kind of
villain gang,

but we're a team.

Let's show him the difference.

‐ Cool. But, uh, can I switch
villains with someone?

I'm not into this
bee situation, like, at all.

[grunting]

‐ Huh? Ah!

‐ Maria, wait!

[grunting]

Ohh! Ahh, ooh!

‐ Uh!
Show yourself, Uncle Raymond.

‐ Yoo‐hoo.

Come along, dear.

‐ Get back here!

‐ Look how easily I have
taken away all of your support.

Now you, like me,
are utterly alone.

‐ Wait, is that what
all of this is about?

Because if you feel alone,
it's only because

you chose
to drive people away, Norman.

‐ Don't call me that.

‐ What? Norman?

That's your name.

‐ No, Norman was my mask.

Now I have revealed
my true self,

just as the spider
is your true face.

‐ Have you lost
every single marble?

Look at me, Norman. You know I‐‐

‐ Wrong!
Peter Parker, Norman Osborn‐‐

these false identities
mean nothing.

There is only Spider‐Man
and Dark Goblin now.

And I will destroy you!

Ah, give me a challenge.

I've waited so long for this.

‐ Uh!

Yes, that's the spirit. [laughs]

Perfect. You, full of all
that spitfire and wit,

and me‐‐just look at me!

‐ Uh, do I have to?

Combine symbiotes
and Jackal serum?

What'd you look at Venom
and think,

"Yeah, I could do uglier"?

‐ Insults? Jokes?

No taunt or jibe
can perturb me now, Spider‐Man.

[grunts] ‐ Ah!

[both grunting]

‐ Ahh! ‐ Doctor Connors?

What are you doing?

‐ I can't hold it off
any longer.

Please, I did everything
you asked.

I need the full cure
you promised me, now!

‐ Ha, fool.
I don't need you anymore,

so I might as well enjoy
finally telling you the truth.

There is no full cure.

I only ever had a way to
temporarily

keep your transformations at bay

‐ What?

There is no full cure.

‐ There never was.

‐ Why would I waste
the resources

to develop a cure for someone
as disposable as you?

‐ No. No!

[roars]

[screams]

‐ Ahh! [grunts]

[growls]

‐ Sorry for the interruption.

Now where were we? [laughs]

‐ Maria, please.

I don't know how Osborn's
making you do this, but‐‐

‐ He's not making me do
anything.

I want to be here.

Hey, these are your inventions,
right?

What's that? ‐ What?

That's a new form of centrifuge
I'm developing.

‐ The revolutionary design
looks genius.

‐ Oh! That was hundreds
of hours of work.

Why are you doing this?

‐ I'm destroying your life
like destroyed mine

when you joined my family.

‐ Stop it!

That's gonna sting
in the morning

‐ For real, though,

how does the bee thing
even work?

Are you each bee?
Or are you only all the bees?

‐ I'm not your biology teacher.

You wanna know
why I was so eager

to help Osborn take you down?

Because you came here,
into my neighborhood,

put my community at risk,
endangered my family.

It's because of you
I almost lost my only child.

‐ Your neighborhood?
This is my neighborhood.

I'd have noticed a next‐door
neighbor made of bees.

‐ You were my role model,
Uncle Raymond,

I'm sorry I have to be the one
to take you down.

‐ Oh, Gwen. If only you knew

what you could become
with my help.

‐ What?
A stooge for Norman Osborn?

‐ His and my goals
have only temporarily aligned.

Nothing more.

I have my own plans.

‐ What's that supposed to mean?

‐ Come and find out.

‐ Ahh! ‐ It's been fun,

but now it's time for
the moment I've dreamed of‐‐

my final vengeance!

‐ [straining] ‐ [growls]

‐ Joke's on you.

I'm just getting over a cold.

You know, Gobby,
I'll hand it to you.

Splitting me up
from my friends‐‐

great idea. [grunts]

But you haven't thought of
all of my friends.

[dramatic music]

‐ There's someone you've
always underestimated.

‐ Good timing?

‐ You have no idea.

‐ Harry?

What are you doing here?

‐ Yeah. I rang him up

when I was escaping
Jackal's undersea trap.

Just thought he might like
to know his long lost dad

was stopping by for a visit.

‐ Hey, Dad. Been a minute.

You owe me
some birthday presents.

‐ Harry.

I'm so happy to see you.

‐ Huh?

Uh‐‐[scoffs] What?

‐ Look at you, son.

Once again,
donning the Hobgoblin gear.

That makes me so proud.

This is all I ever wanted
for you.

Now you understand.

We're the same.

I was going to reach out to you
once Spider‐Man was gone.

We'd be free to rebuild
our empire together,

father and son.

But now we can
take down Spider‐Man together.

‐ There was a time
I would have done anything

for your approval, Dad.

But that time has passed.

You might be my blood,
but you're not my father.

‐ Ever the disappointment.

‐ Ah! Ah!

‐ Ahh!

‐ You're right.
I'm not your father, boy!

I am only the Dark Goblin!

‐ [grunts] ‐ [screams]

‐ In case you missed it, Harry,

your dad is not playing
with a full deck.

‐ Ahh!
‐ Or any cards at all, really.

‐ Listen guy‐‐or is it guys?

I don't know what you've heard,

but I've never been
a threat to this neighborhood.

I've been protecting it
from villains like you.

‐ I wasn't always like this.

I had to protect my family.

The goblin and his Jackal lackey

offered me a chance
chance to fight back,

so I took it.

It meant having to work for them

to create and run
that Monster League.

I hated hurting people.

But I did what I had to do.

‐ Hey, I'm trying
to fight back, too.

I shut down
two giant spider slayers

on this very block.

‐ You had to shut them down
because they came for you!

You so‐called "heroes"
attract trouble.

The world doesn't need
more like you,

It needs more people
like my son.

He's just a kid
here on the block,

but he's a genius
going to a special school.

And one day,
he could change the world.

But he keeps getting caught
in your crossfire!

Well, today, that ends!

‐ Dad?

‐ Miles?

‐ You did all this...

all these horrible things...

for me?

Norman Osborn tricked you, Dad.

‐ No. I could've‐‐

I almost‐‐ ‐ Dad! Wait!

We can fix this! Dad!

‐ Maria, we promised.

When our parents got married,

we said we'd always take care
of each other,

that we'd become real sisters.

‐ You took that seriously?

‐ [grunts] ‐ I never
wanted a sister.

‐ You mean you never wanted
another sister, right? [grunts]

‐ What? Yes, Angela was
the only sister I ever needed.

‐ Did you actually forget about
your other sister for a sec?

'Cause you always worshiped her.

‐ You don't really know me.

‐ What if I do?

Maria, remember when
I got into Horizon,

you gave me your old microscope?

[grunting]

That meant so much to me.

‐ You think I really cared?
Mom made me give that to you.

‐ Hm.

‐ [groans] Ahh!

‐ [grunts] Yah!

‐ The Chameleon,
a professional imposter.

Spidey told me about you.

I heard you do
really thorough research

on the people you impersonate.

Guess not. The real Maria
got me a new laptop. [grunts]

Hm, as if I didn't
already have a microscope.

Spider‐Man, you there?

‐ [grunts] Barely. You okay?

‐ Fine now,
but I just realized something

about Osborne's healing pod.

If it really is built from the
projects he made as design‐‐

‐ Oh, I get
where you're going with this.

‐ Then buy me some time.

‐ Ahh!

‐ You know, Gwen,
I only tolerated Osborn

so we could have
a private, little talk.

‐ And we're way past talking,
Uncle Raymond.

‐ [laughs] You are brilliant.

You're just playing
the wrong team.

Of course,
with a few adjustments,

I could get you
to see things my way.

‐ Uh! Ah!

Ah! Another symbiote?
[straining]

‐ No, not a life form.

Just some of that
synthetic symbiote

Max Modell designed at Horizon.

Osborn recreated it for me

one of my demands for
agreeing to help him

My niece, so willful.

I needed some way to hold you

while I conducted
my improvements,

something that wouldn't trigger
your spider‐sense.

‐ [grunt] Improvements?

‐ Let's just say
I'm tired of being

the only Jackal in the family.

‐ [screeches] ‐ [yells]

[grunting]

‐ Like we're actually winnin'.

Man, I miss hangin'
with you, Harry.

We gotta do this more often.

‐ Yeah, maybe more smoothies

and less crazy dad villains?

‐ Deal.

Jackal, Tarantula, Swarm,

return immediately.

Do your duty to protect me.

I order you to respond!

‐ Looks like
you're outta allies.

But me, I'll always
have my friends.

‐ Come on, Pete.
Let's finish this.

‐ Never!

[grunts]

‐ Wait! We don't know what
that much serum will do to you!

‐ [groaning, grunting]

[laughing]

What happens to me
doesn't matter,

as long as Spider‐Man
is destroyed!

‐ Don't worry,
soon you'll be just like me.

A family affair.

‐ You're better than this,
Uncle Raymond.

When you turned, do you have
any idea how much it hurt Dad?

A cop with a super villain
in the family?

How do you think
that made him feel?

How it made all of us feel?

‐ People can be narrow‐minded,
yes, but you and I

working together, we'll be able
to change those minds

or enslave them.

‐ I looked up to you so much.

‐ And I valued that look.

That pride in your eyes,
little one.

That's why I'm doing this.

When you're like me,
you'll respect me again.

‐ Man, you take creepy mad
scientist to the next level,

don't you?

How did you find me?

How did you know I needed help?

‐ I traced your com signal.

I mean, I didn't actually
know you needed help.

I came to get you
for reasons of science.

‐ Ahh! ‐ Yo, Spidey,

I got Ghost‐Spider.

We're on our way to Spider‐Girl.

‐ Hurry.
Goblin's one‐man zoo routine

is not as cool as it sounds.

‐ [panting] We can't beat him.

He's stronger, faster, bigger.

Ahh!

‐ And grosser. Way grosser.

But we just have to
hold on long enough

for the team to finish.

‐ Yeah. Easier said than done.

‐ What do you need?

‐ Attenuate these wires.

And Gwen, reinforce
this casing. Hurry!

[roaring]

‐ [grunts] ‐ [roars]

‐ [struggling efforts]

Ahh! [grunts]

‐ [groans] ‐ You still in there,

Mr. Osborn?

I'm gonna give you
one last chance to give up.

‐ Ohh!

[straining]

‐ [screams] ‐ [grunting]

[roars]

Give up?

This is my greatest victory.

‐ Oh, shut up! ‐ Ahh!

‐ Wow, he got grosser.
‐ Oh, good.

So it's not just me.

‐ We're doomed! If only someone
could go faster and save us!

‐ Hm. Got the memo.

And done.

‐ That's it. Let's go.

‐ [roaring] ‐ [grunts]

‐ Ah! [grunts]

‐ [roaring, grunting]

‐ [grunts] Ahh!

‐ Uhh!

‐ [grunts] ‐ Uhh!

‐ Huh!

[grunting]

[electricity crackling]

‐ Ahh!

‐ Uhh, yah!

‐ Ohh!

Hey, Dad.

‐ Yah!

[thud]

Ah.

‐ When your stooge Connors
was running the school,

he had all us students
working on mysterious projects

without knowing what they were.

‐ But then we learned
it was to turn you

into the Dark Goblin.

‐ You've been making us
build your evil,

Venomizing machine for you.
‐ Which is just lazy.

But which also means
we're the people

most capable
of reverse engineering it.

[groaning]

[moaning]

‐ Yes! ‐ Yeah! Yes!

‐ [laughs] ‐ Yeah! Go, team.

I'm sorry to drag you into this.

‐ No, I needed to be here.
Thank you.

‐ How are we gonna explain all
of this to the school board?

Or the police?

Or literally anybody?

‐ Well, good thing these drones
record everything they see.

‐ This confirmed my suspicions,

and exposed Modell in a way
that I alone could exploit.

I pulled the strings
to have Modell ousted,

so both his research
and his school became mine.

‐ So, as you can see,

Max's experiments were safe
and incident‐free

until Norman Osborn came along
and set him up.

Time to reconsider?

Welcome back, Max.

‐ Yeah, to where you always
deserved to be.

‐ You were missed by all of us.

‐ Can we just never speak
of the time

you weren't principal here?

It was pretty dark.

Uniforms, ugh!

‐ Thank you, all.

I know what you had to
go through to get me back.

And after everything I've done,
I‐‐

‐ It's all right, Max.

Leave the past behind you.

It's time for all of us
to focus on the future.

‐ Of course I'm still down here

on the rainforest
research expedition.

Why wouldn't I be?

‐ No reason.
I've just recently realized

I need to stay in better touch
with my big sis.

‐ Well, that sounds good to me.

‐ Nothin' like having
your pretend sister

turn out to be
a criminal in disguise

to put things in perspective.

‐ Or having a super villain
for an uncle.

But now he's behind bars.
There's some closure, at least.

‐ [sighs] Yeah,
I'd like closure, too.

It's gonna be tough, though,

'cause my dad‐‐ my dad is bees.

‐ We'll find him together.

We're like a family, too, Miles.

We've got each other's backs.

Norman Osborn
might have lost his mind,

obsessed with revenge,

but he got one thing right.

My greatest strength
isn't my powers.

It's my support system.

[chuckles]
Or a better way to say it:

my friends.
