Spider-Man Unlimited (1999–2005): Season 1, Episode 1 - Worlds Apart: Part 1 - full transcript

[helicopter whirring]

[reporter] This is Lisa,
live at the Cade.

Colonel John Jameson
is coming to the podium
to make a statement.

Six months ago,

through use of an advanced
warp drive engine,

the unmanned probe Aleta

projected itself
to the far side of the sun.

There, Aleta discovered
an exact duplicate

of our world, the Counter-Earth.

Then, as you know,

Aleta sent back
this troubling final footage



of its own demise.

Due to Aleta's destruction,
many have questioned the wisdom

of risking a manned mission
to the Counter-Earth,

but this act of aggression
by the people of Counter-Earth

demands investigation!

That's my son.

Hear that, Parker?

I've always said
John was a hero, haven't I?

You sure have, Jonah.

About 50 times in the past hour.

That boy's presidential timber.

My Spider-Sense tingling.

You say something, Parker?

Parker?



Something funny
is going on here.

My Spider-sense
is going full blast.

What could possibly be...

Hey, what's up with those guys?

No!

Venom and Carnage.

Looks like Jameson's gonna
have a couple of stowaways.

Unless they get
their tickets punched

by their friendly
neighborhood Spider-Man!

[theme music playing]

[Mission Control]
T-minus five, four...

three, two...

one.

We have ignition!

[Jonah] That's my boy!

Chock full of the right stuff!

I don't know
what the blob brothers

are doing on John's spaceship,

But he won't stand
a chance against them.

This is the best day of my...

Oh, no!

Not again!

It's always Spider-Man!

[grunting]

[grunting]

[grunts]

Now that was a bit
too close for comfort.

Uh-oh.

[roars]

Whoa!

Hey! You two could never morph
like that before!

I just may be outgunned here.

Sorry, web-head,
but this flight's booked.

Nothing's going
to stop us from reaching
Counter-Earth

and the Synoptic!

The Synoptic?

[groaning]

I'm impressed.

Snazzy new powers
and a vocabulary to match.

[Carnage] So long, sucker!

Jameson's still up there,

alone with Venom and Carnage,

because I couldn't save him.

Activating warp ring.

[John] What's that?
Something coming
from the cargo bay.

Breaking into the cockpit!

[grunts]

John?

John!

[woman 1] Wh-what's Spider-Man
doing up there?

-[woman 2] It's Spider-Man!
-What was he doing up there?

Spider-Man! He did this!

He sabotaged the ship!

Because of him, John is--

Hey, wait a second!
It isn't my fault!

I was only trying to help.

-Hold it, Spider-Man!
-Surrender!

Sorry, gentlemen,
but I don't do surrender.

[soldiers yelling]

Great. Just great!

As usual, something goes wrong,

and look who everybody blames.

Meanwhile, John Jameson's
alone in a spaceship

with two of the meanest psychos

this side of Vlad the Impaler.

[jeering]

[cat meows]

[cat yowls]

No! Get away!

-[Spider-Man groans]
-Don't hurt me!

[crowd clamoring]

But this time he's gone too far!

My paper is prepared
to pay $10 million

to anyone who can
identify Spider-Man

or aid in his capture.

Ten million?

For that kind of money,
I'm tempted to turn myself in.

[explosions]

-[woman screams]
-Uh-oh.

Aah!

[woman screaming]

[siren wailing]

Ah-ah-ah. Don't thank me.

Just remember to support
your local web-slinger.

[grunts]

[fireman] Hold it
right there, murderer!

You're not going anyplace.

For all we know,
this fire is your doing.

You're blaming me?

After all the times
I've risked my life
for this stinking city,

this is the thanks I get?

[gasps]

Look out!

Then he lunged at me,
and I don't mind saying

I thought my hour was at hand.

but the building
collapsed on him
and saved my life.

This is all we found of him.

Oh.

I was so worried, Peter.

I've been so worried
for so long.

And when it seemed like
it finally happened...

Oh, tiger!

I thought I'd lost you.

[reporter] Last night
brought a seeming end

to the troubled career
of the controversial
masked adventurer

known as Spider-Man.

[sighs]

[sighs] I hope so.

[groans]

Hey, M.J, did you get
the number of that building
that fell on me?

[reporter] Has the controversial
life of Spider-Man ended?

While many question the value
of these masked vigilantes
to our society,

others remember Spider-Man
as a hero,

a man willing to lay his life...

What's wrong, Peter?

I, I don't know what to do.

All these years,
I've been two people
instead of just one,

being Spider-Man,
trying to do right.

Sometimes I think it was
all that defined me.

There are lots of people
who fight the good fight

without it turning
into a costumed slugfest.

Peter Parker could be
as important to the world
As Spider-Man ever was.

If you'll let him.

[reporter] Reed Richards
has scheduled a press conference

later today to discuss the...

Maybe M.J.'s right.

Maybe I have been given
a second chance.

Maybe Spider-Man did die
in that fire last night.

This just in.
After a week of silence,

a transmission
from astronaut John Jameson

has been received.

Repeat! I am on Counter-Earth!

This situation is desperate.

The creatures are...

I can't do it alone!

If they're not stopped here,
Earth may be next.

Jameson's still alive!

And this time,
if Spider-Man can't help him,

maybe Peter Parker can.

[Chambers]
Everything checks out.

The Solaris 2 rescue mission
is ready for lift-off.

T-minus two hours and counting.

You know, I've never been sure
what that guy does here.

I've heard old man Jameson
pulled some strings
and got him in.

He's some kind
of special photojournalist
from the Bugle.

Guess it's time for the world
to get acquainted with
the all-new, all-improved...

Spider-Man!

This year's
fully-loaded model features
nano-technology,

discreetly borrowed
from the lab of Reed Richards.

This scientific marvel
features billions
of microscopic robots

working in harmony to make
one spiffy set of duds,

complete with optional
antisymbiote devices.

Hold it right there, Spider-Man.

If you really are Spider-Man.

Don't try to stop me, Fury.

I said hold it, web-slinger!

I promise my next shot
won't miss.

Listen, Fury.

Jameson's rescue
is my responsibility.

I'm the only one who
can bring him home.

And it's the only way
to clear my name.

You sure you know
how to drive this thing?

Then whatcha waiting for?

If anyone can pull this off,
it's Spider-Man.

Everything's running hot,
straight, and clean.

Now just one more minor detail.

Listen up, world.

This is Spider-Man,
on my way to Counter-Earth
to find John Jameson

and clear my good name.

Now to cover
Peter Parker's tracks.

And I'm going with him,
Peter Parker.

After all, what newspaperman
could turn down
an opportunity like this?

And if they buy that,

I've got some Florida swampland
I'd love to sell 'em.

Now all I have to do
is survive the space-time warp,

figure out how to land
this baby on Counter-Earth,

and rescue John Jameson
from a hostile planet.

Remember what Uncle Ben
said, M.J.,

"with great power comes
great responsibility."

I'm guessing
that's Counter-Earth.

I'm caught in some kind
of tractor beam.

The ship is out of my control!

I can't break free.

Not that I'd know where
to go if I could.

Maybe I can angle the retros
and kinda slide out.

It's working!

Come on! Just a little more.

Uh-oh. I'm 6 degrees off
on approach. I'm toast!

Sorry, M.J.

You know I had to try.

Uh-oh, something tells me
that was the frying pan,

and this is the fire!

Surrender,
by order of Lord Tyger
and the High Evolutionary.

And everything was
going so well till now.

You're gonna have to do
better than that

to nail your friendly
interplanetary Spider-Man.

[Tyger] Wait!
He calls himself a Spider-Man.

Perhaps he's a bestial.
Leave him to us.

Now what? The Four Horsemen
of the Ridiculous?

Hey! What amusement park
did you guys escape from?

It is folly to continue
this flight, Spider-Man.

Know you not
that no one escapes us?

Holy moly!

Who... what are you guys?

We are the Knights of Wundagore.

I am known to all as Lord Tyger.

This is the mighty
warrior, Ursula.

I grow impatient with all
this talking, my lord.

This beauty among beauties
is Lady Vermin.

We should not do battle,
stranger,

for you are most fair
to Lady Vermin's eyes.

And you are most rat-like
to mine own.

[giggling] Flatterer.

And finally, this proud knight
is Sir Ram.

Know you, spider-creature,
that we are
the Knights of Wundagore.

Plenipotentiaries most puissant
of the High Evolutionary
himself.

Spider-creature?

This from a goat
in knight's clothing?

Well, I'm sorry
to disappoint you

and the rest
of old MacDonald's farm,

nut to paraphrase
John Paul Jones,

I have not yet begin to flee!

[grunts]

Maybe I can lose 'em
in that fog.

I'm getting the distinct
impression

that these beast people
are the ones running
this planet.

Aw, man! A planet where
apes drive SUVs?

Let's see. Fish Girl.
Monkey Woman. Giraffe Guy.

What is this,
the Manhattan Island
of Dr. Moreau?

Whoa!

Ground floor, coming up.

[people clamoring]

[screams]

[gasps]

Sorry to interrupt, but run!

[man screams]

[screams]

Couldn't bear to see
anything happen to you.

Looking for another roommate?

Guess not.

Stealth Mode, on.

Phew. I thought
she'd never leave.

This Stealth Mode
really heats up the suit.

What have we learned today?

Beast people are in charge,

and normal people live
in overpopulated slums.

I have a hunch I know
where I'm headed.

Surrender, Spider-Man.

I don't think so.

Too crowded down here
for a battle.

Up above there's more
room to move.

Ursula! An assist!

[grunts]

Uh-oh.

You know, in another context,

the idea of a goat-man
dressed like a doctor
might be amusing.

In truth,
he has a sense of humor.

I like that in a bestial.

I would curb my ardor
were I you, Milady Vermin.

We know not if this
creature is in fact one of us.

Aye, Sir Ram.

But be he human or beastial,

'tis certain
that he is a valiant warrior.

[chuckles] Listen to Tony here.
He's great!

Ha! An excellent jape.

Truly, you are either
most brave or most foolhardy

to make sport of Lord Tyger.

Why have you not
removed his mask?

Your pardon, excellency.

It is of a technology
unknown to me.

But I should be able
to pierce it with this device

and obtain a DNA sample.

Very well, proceed.

A DNA sample?

Hold it! Hold it!
I bite my nails!

How about a nice piece
of fingernail?
