Spider-Man Unlimited (1999–2005): Season 1, Episode 12 - Sins of the Fathers - full transcript
-[children chattering]
-[Peter]
In a world that scorns,
the scorned have to learn
to improvise.
So every winter,
the local church
turns its basketball court
into a poor man's
Rockefeller Center.
It's not much,
but it gives
the budding human Olympians
of Counter-Earth hope,
and guys like me a chance
to eke out a living.
[man] Parker, you've got to be
kidding me.
[Peter] Or not.
What, you have something
against human-interest stories?
I don't want
human-interest stories.
I want stories
that interest humans...
action, romance.
[children laughing]
[Peter] Speaking of action,
what's the rebels'
second-in-command doing here?
[man] Are you listening to me,
Parker?
Hi, Mom, Dad.
I know I haven't been here
in a long time.
I could tell you
it's too dangerous for me
to be out in the open,
but the truth is
I don't know why I stay away.
Maybe because it's so painful
for me to see you like this.
And I always think of you,
and I always remember.
[male voice] Karen O'Malley,
you are under arrest
for crimes against the state.
Surrender now.
I don't think so.
No!
Uh-oh. This can't be good.
Now, that's what
sells newspapers.
Get in there, Parker.
[grunts]
A-huh!
Aah!
[grunts]
[grunts]
[screams]
[grunts]
No!
[Peter thinking]
I've got to do
something to stop this.
Ah! But I can't risk exposure
in front of all these people.
Leave her alone.
What are you waiting for,
Parker?
Go!
Step aside, human.
[grunts]
No!
Aah!
[theme music playing]
[growls]
Whoa!
[thud]
-Oh!
-Oh!
-[grunts]
-[grunts]
[woman] Oh, let go of me,
you bag of bulk.
[struggles]
[sighs]
[Peter thinking] Can't let them
get away.
[Machine Man] Interference
will not be tolerated.
[grunts]
[Peter thinking]
Crowd or no crowd,
it's time
for your friendly
neighborhood Spider-Man
to show--
[groans]
Reverend? You okay?
Uh, yes, thanks to you.
I'm not sure I can say
the same about the young lady.
[sighs]
It's my fault.
I shouldn't have hesitated.
Don't blame yourself, my son.
-You did your best.
-Did I?
I can do better.
While you're at it, kid,
do us both a favor
and get a new camera.
I need pictures.
[Spider-Man thinking]
No sign of the tin twins
anywhere.
Wonder how Jameson
will take the news.
When it comes to Karen,
I get the feeling
he's got more than
blasters and Bestials
on his mind,
not that I blame him.
-[Jameson] What?
-I lost them.
She could be anywhere
between here and Brooklyn
by now.
I never should've let Karen
go out there alone.
If anything happens to her...
Check every resource.
I want her found.
You got it, guv.
John Jameson,
I have formulated a plan
to retrieve information
on Karen O'Malley's
whereabouts,
but it requires assistance.
I'll do whatever it takes.
No. I'm the one
who blew the rescue before.
The way I see it,
now's the time
for your local Spider-Guy
to make up for that.
Then that's what you better do.
Spider-Man's destruction
of the laboratory
was only a temporary setback.
It is now completely restored.
Have the DNA scans
been entered into the database?
Yes, Your Highness.
Everything is in order.
[Karen]
Uh! Let go of me, you freaks!
[struggling]
What is this?
A rebel we arrested
this afternoon.
She is being taken
to interrogation.
[struggles]
Bring the prisoner here.
Uh, I said let go!
Don't touch me.
[baby crying]
That mark.
Can it be?
Take her upstairs
to a private chamber.
But, Your Highness,
she is a rebel.
-She needs to be inter--
-Silence, Ram!
You heard me.
[struggling]
Have a seat, rebel.
[grunts]
[laughter]
Return to your posts.
The High Evolutionary
has asked me to handle this.
Halt. Enter your clearance
code.
[buzzer]
[beeping]
Clearance code accepted.
Proceed.
Entry complete.
[Spider-Man] Tinster,
mind letting me out of here?
[X-51]
First we must locate
the central processing unit.
[Spider-Man]
You're not the one who feels
like an overheated pretzel.
-Let me out.
-[X-51] Very well.
[grunts]
Maybe I should've let the kid
have this gig after all.
It'll take me a week
to work out the kinks.
Now, what's this about the CPU?
It's the network mainframe
that processes all data
vital to the operation
of the Machine Men.
So if we manage to tap
into it...
we will discover
Karen O'Malley's location.
If we're discovered,
it'll be a-thousand-to-two
against us.
Who knew I'd have to break
into Machine Man Central?
Commencing data retrieval.
So what do you need me for?
To download the necessary
encryption codes
located on a separate database.
Time is critical.
All files must be downloaded
before the secondary
scanning system
rejects the counterfeit
clearance code
I used to gain entry here.
Huh,
nothing like a little pressure
to keep the heart pumping.
[beeping]
Father, good news.
Catherine's having a baby.
Except for the name,
it all fits.
She is the one.
The time has come, my dear,
to finish what I started.
What are you staring at?
You humans amuse me.
Where do you get the strength
to continue the delusion
that somehow
you're the superior ones
when he has proven you
so wrong.
We're human. I don't know
if that makes us superior,
but it definitely
makes us survivors!
[shrieks]
[High Evolutionary]
Admirable effort, my dear,
but you will never defeat
my Force Shields.
They are tuned
to your specific DNA.
What do you know about my DNA?
Your skills
are well developed,
and feistiness
runs in the family.
What do you know
about my family?
You would be surprised
by what I know...
[gunshots]
...and even more surprised
by what you do not.
Almost finished.
How much time before those
counterfeit codes are detected?
According to my
internal calculations--
[woman on PA] Security breach.
Attention.
We have a security breach.
None.
Halt. You have entered
a restricted area.
Surrender immediately,
or you will be terminated.
I repeat.
Surrender immediately
or you will be terminated.
I know a third alternative,
if I might offer you a ride.
My stabilizers are damaged.
Hold on.
Uh, if I wanted to ride
the tilt-a-whirl,
I'd have gone to Coney Island.
Whoa!
[grunts]
Give my regards to Jupiter,
bolt brain.
Uh-oh, tell me you've got
a plan B.
Prepare to dive.
[Spider-Man] Did we get
all the data we need?
Impossible to say
without the encryption codes.
That's what I was afraid of.
I only managed to get about
90% before the ref
blew the whistle.
What do you say
we head back to Sewer Central
and see what Bromley
can cook up?
[Machine Man] Your Highness,
we have reports of a break-in
at the Machine Man facility.
Spider-Man was involved.
Yes, I was notified
by the Central Processing Unit.
You do not seem concerned.
I am prepared for the move.
This may well be
my opportunity to crush
Spider-Man and the rebels
once and for all.
But how?
Long ago, in anticipation
of an event such as this,
I left any intruders
a small surprise.
Place castle security on alert.
What's going on here, Father?
What are you doing to
Catherine?
Prepare yourselves, my knights.
We are about to reach
a reckoning.
[Jameson] Hurry it up.
Karen's depending on us.
[Bromley] This isn't a military
assault, John.
Without
all the inscription code,
deciphering X51's data
is delicate surgery.
-Blimey!
-What's wrong?
A glitch of some kind.
Don't tell me
you dropped the scalpel.
Could be a virus.
I better do a security scan.
See, that's the trouble
with computers.
A couple aspirin never help.
This is no virus.
There's a flipping
homing program
built into the download.
It's been transmitting
since we started.
[explosion]
-Take cover.
-Cover?
I'd say
it's a little late for that.
[explosion]
We better clear out.
How much data did you decipher?
Maybe half.
Bring what you've got.
Aah!
It's time to hit the road,
Bromley, before it hits you.
Well, well,
the high muckety-muck himself.
I guess I should be flattered.
Indeed, you should.
Tell me, my dear.
What do you know
about your heritage?
None of your business.
Do you not ever wonder
where your skills come from,
your unerring accuracy
and grace?
I've had a lot of practice
on nimrods like you.
What's with all the questions?
You will learn soon enough.
I better check on Bromley
and the great data search.
Any luck?
Got it.
The prisoner transfer report.
They're keeping her
at the old blighter's castle.
Just like Karen to demand
luxury accommodations.
[Jameson] All right, listen up.
I want an all-out
frontal attack
on Wundagor Castle.
Whoa, that's a bold move,
John boy.
You think the gang is up to it?
We're talking about Karen,
web slinger.
We may be too late already.
You summoned us, Your Highness?
-[struggling]
-Yes.
Prepare the prisoner
for full Bestial enhancement.
Make a true Bestial
out of a human?
Excellency, such a thing
is unheard of.
And she? She is the worst
of humans, a rebel.
I know precisely what she is.
There's no way you're laying
a hand on any part of me.
And how do you propose
to stop me?
This is for your own good,
my dear.
Humans are weak, prisoners
of their own petty desires.
The only cure is to make them
more like the noble animals.
You will thank me
when it is over.
Has anybody ever told you
to get a life?
Take her to the laboratory.
[explosion]
The rebels are attacking.
Alert the rest of the knights.
I want them crushed.
And the prisoner?
[High Evolutionary]
Leave her.
The Force Shields will keep her
from going anywhere.
[explosion]
[gunshots]
[gunshots]
[Spider-Man thinking]
Looks like Jameson's
going to be busy for a while,
so it's up to yours truly
to get Karen.
Yah!
My spider sense
is going crazy.
Considering all the danger
I'll be in when I find Karen,
I must be close.
Works every time.
[grunts]
[grunts]
I've got to get out there.
[groans]
[sighs]
[Spider-Man]
Huh, enjoying the show?
Spider-Man.
The door's wide open.
What's the holdup?
Force Shields.
They're tuned to my DNA.
What do you say,
we try to confuse them
with a few spider molecules?
Ah! You're a genius.
Aw, shucks, ma'am.
Stop right there.
[groans]
It is so hard to find
good help these days.
Whoops!
We meet again, arachnid.
Let us hope this experience
is a bit more pleasant
than the last.
For me, that is.
It is over, Spider-Man.
The rebels will be crushed,
and young Karen here
will attain a greatness
many would kill for.
Suck an egg, butt-brain.
[grunts]
See what your impertinence
gets you?
Her? I'm the one
with the headache.
Leave him alone.
Is he your weakness?
[grunts]
I said leave him alone!
[grunts]
[yells]
Oh!
[grunts]
[grunts]
[grunts]
[grunts]
Don't do this. Let us go.
She's your granddaughter,
your own flesh and blood.
-How could you?
-[baby crying]
No!
You experimented on her,
altered her DNA.
I will finish what I began,
my dear,
but not until you are ready.
You will rue this day,
Spider-Man,
as will all humankind.
[grunts]
Karen, you're safe.
The target has been acquired.
Everybody fall back.
So what do we do
for headquarters now, guv?
What do you guys think
about Coney Island?
The rides need a little work,
but it would be
one heck of a hiding place.
Change course for Coney Island.
What's up, love?
You've been awfully quiet
since we left the castle.
Just remembering, Brom,
just remembering.
