Spider-Man Unlimited (1999–2005): Season 1, Episode 10 - Matters of the Heart - full transcript

[Spider-Man thinking] Baseball,
the all-American pastime.

[crowd cheering]

I remember the last time
Mary Jane and I went to a game.

It was a three-hot-dog night.

Hmm? I wonder
what chili dogs are made of
here on Counter-Earth.

On second thought, Spidey,
you don't want to know.

It may have the name,
but this game's not the same.

[players grunting, shouting]

[announcer] And Santino
evens the score!

[cheering continues]

[Sir Ram] The humans
are getting unruly.



We should
have them removed.

Let them be, Ram.

They're here to enjoy the game
just as we are.

Your tolerance of this
subspecies is admirable,
my lord,

but is it wise?

You're blocking my view.

[John] Lord Tyger's in his box,
all right.

Never misses a game.

Do you think we can
convince him to come back
to the basement with us?

I don't know.

But of all
the Knights of Wundagore,

he's always seemed
our best shot

at getting a fair shake
from the High Evolutionary.

Assuming we'd get
past his bodyguards



with our skulls
still intact.

[rattling]

Better check that out.

[door closes]

-[beep]
-Find anything?

Charlie, you read me?

[Karen] We don't want trouble.
We just want to talk
to Lord Tyger.

You clear, Bromley?

As a midsummer night's dream
in London.

Our friend's a bit foggy,
however.

Stay alert.

We're going in.

[beep]

I see you're a fan,
Lord Tyger.

You dare!

We don't want
to hurt anyone.

But we don't intend
to get hurt, either.

Lord Tyger, may we have
a word with you?

I don't know
what you're up to, rebel,

but you're interrupting
my enjoyment

of an important game.

[grunts]

[beeping]

A flipping silent alarm!

[grunts]

Everyone, fall back!

Aah!

Let's go, men!

[Men yell]

Woah!

Down the stairs!

[groans]

[grunts]

[theme song playing]

[Karen] Bromley!
If they've got Bromley--

We'll do what we can later.

Now move!

[yells]

The others got away,
but we have this one.

Enlighten me, rebel.

What was the purpose
of this futile foray?

It is obvious that they
were here for you.

A kidnapping attempt.

Kidnapping?
Why, you...

A ransom on your head

would be quite attractive
to these hooligans.

It's fortunate I was
able to foil their plot.

Yes, I suppose it was.

Dress his wound
and place him under arrest.

The High Evolutionary
will want to know about this.

[thinking] That fight I had
with Venom really scrambled
my suit's circuits.

My sonics
should be back online.

Nothing like
a little target practice

to test the repairs.

Sonics on.
[mechanical humming]

[yowls]

Well, looks like
I'm back in business.

-[firework pops]
-Did I do that?

Fireworks?

I almost forgot
about the street carnival.

Everyone say cheese.

[chuckles]

[Peter thinking]
There's no getting past it.

The longer I'm stuck
on this planet,

the more Shane and Naoko
feel like family to me.

If MJ weren't waiting
for me back home...

[laughs]
Enough. Peter.

There you go again, Parker,

wondering about
the forbidden fruit.

Your assignment was to shoot
the carnival, remember?

I don't think the Daily Bite
will be too thrilled

by photos of Shane and me.

They will if they have
any taste.

[chuckles]

Hey, anyone want ice cream
before we head home?

I do, I do!

Move it! Out of the way!

-We don't need
your kind around here!
-[crowd shouting]

Looks like trouble brewing.

We could join in.

We have business of our own.

Once the young are
reestablished in our new nest,

this kind of trouble will
look like a Sunday picnic.

[shouting continues]

We don't need
your kind around here!

Hey, what's going on
over there?

Nothing good,
that's for sure.

So much for family hour.

Looks like Spidey will have
to break up this party

before it gets too wild.

Somebody's gonna get hurt.

Maybe we should--
Peter?

Yeah! Come on! Come on!

[shouting continues]
Clear, humans.

[Woman] We want our city back!

[crowd clamoring, gasping]

Somebody call for a referee?

Take a hike, creep.

This isn't your problem.

Tsk, tsk. That's 10 yards

for unsportsmanlike conduct,
El Toro.

Hit the bench.

-Why does everything always
have to get so complicated?
-[Men groan]

[Woman screaming]

Time to blow
this popsicle stand.

[murmuring, crying]

I can't believe
Peter is such a coward,

running off like that.

He didn't run, Mom.
He's just taking pictures.
You'll see.

This is
your new headquarters?

[chuckles] If you ask me,

up isn't much
of an improvement.

As me mum always said,

"Home is what you
make of it, Danny boy."

I hope you inherited
her sense of humor.

So where is everybody?

This is how
you welcome guests?

[whirring]

Now I know what
a tuna fish feels like.

Either X-51
just cloned himself,

or these guys
are the real McCoy.

You are under arrest,
Spider-Man. Do not resist.

Definitely not the tin can
we all know and love.

[grunts]

Aah! Uh!

[footsteps approaching]

Uh-uh. Spidey waffles
are a definite no-no.

Ooh. That's gotta hurt.

Not nearly as much as this!

Let's get outta here
before more of these
bad boys show up.

I don't think so, Spider-Man.

Aah!

[grunts] Bromley?
What--

Sorry, old man.

[grunts]

Nothing personal.

[Shane] I'll bet that's Peter.

-I hope so, kiddo.
-[phone ringing]

The way he disappears sometimes
really makes me worried.

-[phone ringing]
-Hello?

Hey, you're not Parker.
Where's Parker?

Who is this?

The guy who signs
his paychecks.

He was supposed to have
those street carnival photos

on my desk over an hour ago.

Where is the good-for-nothing?

I've been wondering
that myself.

Well, the minute
you lay eyes on him,

tell Parker to get his keister

over to the Byte pronto,

or he can start looking
for some other sucker

to string along.

The spider is awake.

[groans] Awake?

And here I thought I was
in the middle of a nightmare

filched from Franz Kafka.

But I promise we won't
disappoint, Spider-Man.

How do you like my trap?

I built it just for you.

Fortunately, the rebels
provided us with bait

much sooner
than I anticipated.

Bromley?
You set me up?

But you hate these guys.

Ah, Sir Ram, Lady Ursula.

[both]
Your Highness.

Congratulations are in order,
my Knights.

And you, Mr. Bromley,

have earned both my gratitude

and your reward

for proving my low opinion
of humans so well-founded.

Now, if you'll transport
the prisoner to Wundagore,

I can resume
the experiments I started

before Mr. Bromley's
former friends

whisked Spider-Man away.

Bromley, you sold out?

Why? What did they give you?
Answer me!

[Lady Ursula] Silence!

Prepare Spider-Man
for transport.

Are you forgetting
our agreement, Ursula?

The creator
will get his prisoner

after I have made a few

behavioral modifications.

[beeps]

[Spider-Man] This place is just
full of surprises.

With much more to come,
Spider-Man.

Once we're done here,
you will be a puppet

with your mind
under my control.

Why not just
put me on the payroll
like you did Bromley?

You can accomplish
the same thing.

Take him inside.

Consider this an honor,
Spider-Man.

You are about to become
my secret weapon.

Uh, couldn't I
just sign a pledge?

[laughing]

I know how weak
you humans are,

so if you experience
any pain,

feel free
to express yourself.

The only words I've got
are for Bromley,

and he already knows
what they are.

It will be such a pleasure
to silence you

once and for all.

[grunting]

My brain feels
like it's in a blender.

[yells]
God!

Move!

[coughing]

Can you walk?

I remember walking.

And this.

[subway horn blaring]

We have to get
out of these tunnels
before they find us.

Us? Us?
This is where
I get off, sport.

Why should I go
anywhere with you?

You're right.
I wouldn't, either.

They bought me, all right,
just as you said,

but not with money.

Then what was His Evolvedness
talking about

when he mentioned
your reward?

I'm one of the few
resistance fighters

old enough to remember
what the world was like

before the Bestials took over.

I was 13 when my family
came to Brooklyn

and opened a green grocery.

My brother Durwood and I
soon learned

how to get the best
of the streets.

But our happiness
didn't last long.

The neighborhood was slowly
overrun by hostile Bestials

-who taunted us
for being human.
-[Woman screams]

Soon, the High Evolutionary's
troops overtook the city,

ripping entire families
from their homes,
separating them.

The war raged,
the humans lost,

and those of us
who managed to survive

returned to find
our streets gutted

and our homes destroyed.

I never saw my family again.

Sad story, chum,

but not everybody
with a sad story

goes around
betraying his friends.

Very true.

But today,
after I was arrested,

Sir Ram gave me this.

My brother Durwood's alive,
Spider-Man.

He's spent the last 30 years

slaving in the bowels
of Wundagore Castle.

Sir Ram promised
that if I helped trap you--

He'd release your brother.

And you believed him?

Durwood's all that's left
of my family.

There was nothing
I wouldn't do to free him.

But I couldn't
go through with it.

And now...

Now it's time for us

to get big brother
out of there ourselves.

Don't toy with me,
Spider-Man.

You may not
believe this, Bromley,

but I know what it feels like

to be desperate
for somebody you love.

[Bromley] This won't be easy.
It could well be

the most highly guarded
place in the world.

-Even the toughest security
can slip up somewhere.
-[whirring]

What do you say
we try the service entrance?

What happened to Louis?

Uh, his kid's
getting married tonight.

[muffled grunting]

[thinking] Uh-oh. Rodent alert.

[sniffs]

Spider-Man?
It is you.

Seize him!

Uh, wait. I, uh--
I came to see you.

Me?

What are you doing here?
Return to your posts.

The truth is,
Lady Vermin,

I can't seem to get you
out of my mind.

So you thought
you'd sneak in here
and surprise me,

is that it?

Beautiful and smart.

And to think,

I didn't know you cared.

[thinking]
Spidey, don't you
dare be sick.

[Man]
Hurry up! We got another
million gallons of water

to get purified tonight!

Come on, you scum-suckers!
Suck more scum!

Better make this snappy.

Queen Ratifah's
only giving me 15 minutes

while she "makes herself
more comfortable."

What is this place?

A purification plant.

Sir Ram says it provides
clean drinking water

to the castle
and half the city.

Remind me
to order bottled.

I don't see Durwood.

There he is.

Get to work, slime-sucker.

Durwood?

It's me, Daniel!

Danny?
[laughing]

I knew you'd come.

You knew?
You had that kind of faith?

In the High Evolutionary.

He's the one who told me.

What?

He said your spider friend

would come for me.

[laughing]

and when you did,

I'd get a promotion

As soon as you and Spider-Man
are locked up,

I'll run this place.

Durwood, I'm your brother!

[beeps]

[High Evolutionary]
Nice of you to be

so predictable,
Spider-Man.

[Spider-Man]
You!

This was another trap.

Surely you didn't think

entrance to the castle
was possible

without my assistance?

But you have consistently

underestimated me,
haven't you?

Perhaps you need
a demonstration

of how highly I've evolved.

[grunts]

What was that?

I just got clobbered
by nothing.

You've been a thorn in my side

far too long, Spider-Man.

Helping the rebels
destroy a power plant,

hindering my efforts
to control the symbiotes.

[yells]

[grunts]

Telekinesis. Whoa!

How do I fight a guy who can
smack me around with his mind?

Hold it, Danny boy.

You're my ticket to the top.

[blow lands]

[groaning]

[grunts]

Educating you is indeed

a pleasure, Spider-Man.

A pleasure that
will increase tenfold

by the time
we are finished tonight.

A few more
of these mind punches,

and I'm down for the count.

And now, arachnid,

the final demonstration.

Hate to lose and run,

but I can't see any other way.

[yelling]

[grunts]

[thinking] This is it, Spidey.

You gotta come up
with something.

That sound.

These ray thingies
must be sonically powered.

Maybe I can counteract them.

-Sonics on.
-[mechanical humming]

Gotta raise the pitch.

Will the repairs hold?

Sonics up.

[mechanical humming
intensifies]

-[yells]
-[clattering]

[grunts]

[grunting]

I beat you
when we were kids!

We aren't kids!

Aah!

[yells]

[screams]

[grunting]

Durwood!

[huffs]

Me own brother using me!

I could say it runs
in the family,

but I'm not the kind of guy
who'd bring up
that kind of thing.

Huh. I earned that one.

I have to get back
to the rebels.

They'll be worried,

and they're all
the family I have.

I know what you mean, bub.

I know what you mean.

[Shane] Mom! Mom! Look!

-[door opens, closes]
-[Peter] Hey,
what's all the racket about?

[Naoko] Peter, you're back.

After you disappeared
at the carnival,

I was starting to think--

That's what I'm trying
to show you, Mom.

Look.

I told you
he wasn't a coward.

And you were right, Shane.
I am so glad.

How do you do it, Peter?

How do you always get
such great pictures?

I wish I could
tell you, Shane.

But if I did,
you'd steal my job.
