Spider-Man Unlimited (1999–2005): Season 1, Episode 13 - Destiny Unleashed - full transcript
[High Evolutionary]
I have been patient,
my children...
extremely patient.
But no matter where I turn,
my enemies lurk,
striking against me,
the rebels.
Let's get out of here!
We got what we came for!
[weapons powering up]
The symbiotes.
Looks like trouble brewing.
We have business of our own.
Spider-Man!
[straining]
[grunts]
[grunts]
All have taken advantage
of my good nature,
and they have been
far too successful
far too often.
But no more!
No longer will I
tolerate their insolence.
No longer will I allow these
inferior species to plague us.
They must be stopped.
They will be stopped.
Am I understood?
Am I understood?
[pounds table]
[all]
Yes, Your Highness.
Far be it for me
to question you,
Your Highness,
but might not
the New World Order
be better served
by approaching the humans
with a more benevolent hand?
And suffer further
rebel insults?
The High Evolutionary
is right.
They must be crushed!
Silence!
Before this week has ended,
my enemies will feel my wrath
as they have never
felt it before.
Begin your preparations,
my Knights.
The destiny
of the New World Order...
will be fulfilled.
[thunderclap]
[Spider-Man thinking]
Funny how you never know
what kind of curve-ball
fate will throw you.
When I hitched a ride
in the Solaris II,
who thought I'd wind up
stuck on a planet
where humans are considered
no better than cockroaches?
And who thought I'd actually
make friends on this rock?
Naoko, Shayne, Karen--
Even Jameson's turned out
to be an okay guy...
considering he's
as stubborn as a mule
and has a major problem
controlling his body hair.
All in all,
my stay on Counter-Earth
has been one heck of a ride,
and only Lady Fate
knows what's coming next.
[whoosh in distance]
Of course, it'd be nice
if she gave me just
a little warning.
[theme music playing]
[Spider-Man thinking]
Now there's a bunch
of tin cans ugly enough
to give recycling a bad name.
No point in making it
easy for them.
Wait a minute.
They didn't even sneeze
in my direction.
Either they're blind,
or they've been programmed
for a special task.
I'd hate to look a gift horse
in the mouth,
but I'd better find out
what they're up to.
They've been setting up
blockades all over town,
and I don't think
it's for a street party.
[Machine Man]
Attention, humans.
By order
of the High Evolutionary,
you are commanded to vacate
your homes immediately.
Those who do not comply
will be vacated by force.
[crowd clamoring]
Please! Please, don't!
[overlapping shouts]
[all gasp]
[man]
Oh! Someone help us!
Eat dirt, buckethead!
[man]
Keep away from me!
No!
[grunts]
[Spider-Man thinking]
Has the High Evolutionary
gone nuts?
[Machine Man]
Identification confirmed. Next.
Step inside.
You are under arrest
for unauthorized altering
of an identification implant.
Come with us, rebel.
No, wait.
It must have been defective.
I'm not a rebel.
[screams]
[panting]
[panting continues]
[Spider-Man thinking]
Too many Machine Men
for me to help that guy.
It's like a war zone
out there.
But how do I stop it?
How?
[Naoko]
What are you talking about?
-[weapons firing]
-[crowd clamoring]
My license to practice,
my health inspection,
my lease,
everything's here,
signed and up to date.
You tell
the High Evolutionary
my mom didn't do
anything wrong.
[Spider-Man thinking]
They're harassing Naoko, too?
No way.
[Machine Man] Your neighbors
have reported
seeing both of you
in the company of the rebel
called Spider-Man.
[Spider-Man thinking] Uh-oh.
[Naoko]
You think I sympathize
with Spider-Man?
All I know is,
he's a troublemaker.
Tell us where to find
Spider-Man now,
or you will be placed
under arrest.
You leave my mom alone.
Arrest the boy.
[Spider-Man thinking]
I've gotta do something.
But if they see me,
I'll be surrounded
by a hundred more tin soldiers
before I can holler Aunt Mae.
Maybe I can create
a diversion.
-Let him go!
-[straining]
Possible rebel activity.
We must investigate.
Hey, Mom.
[Peter] Looks like I came
at a bad time.
You two okay?
-[Shane] Peter!
-[Naoko] Thank goodness
you're safe.
The High Evolutionary
and his crew
have gone crazy!
So what else is new?
Good evening, humans.
Look! He's even taken
control of the TV.
As you already know,
I have sent
my security forces
into your neighborhoods
tonight.
I am certain that many of you
may be frightened
and confused
by the evening's
turn of events.
But my hand has been
forced by those among you
who call themselves
resistance fighters.
This message is intended
for Spider-Man
and these so-called
revolutionaries.
So listen carefully, rebels,
for what I have begun
can only be ended by you.
Starting immediately,
my Knights will supervise
the systematic destruction
of human neighborhoods
building by building.
-What?
-He's bluffing.
There's no way
he'd destroy his own city.
[High Evolutionary]
For every hour that Spider-Man
and the rebels
fail to surrender
to my security forces,
a dozen more buildings
will fall,
and a dozen more homes
will burn.
[laughing]
We always knew
the High Evolutionary
was a man after
our own heart.
By clearing out the humans,
he paves the way
for the Synoptic.
[both laugh]
Dr. Baronsky's theta meter
is picking up hive activity.
The symbiotes are near.
The choice is yours, rebels.
Your actions will decide
the fate of your people.
Only you can save them
from complete annihilation.
And your time is up.
No.
-He can't do this.
-[explosion in distance]
Looks like he already has.
Kelly Wing reporting
to you live
from the New York City slums,
as the High Evolutionary's plan
to ferret out the rebels
continues.
Here comes one of
the project coordinators now.
Sir Ram! Sir, would you
care to comment?
No comment is necessary.
All you have to do is watch.
Please, my home!
Where will I live?
[laughing]
Do you believe for one moment
that I care?
Your thirst for destruction
is disconcerting, Ram.
As is your lack of it,
My Lord.
Perhaps you should retire
to the safety of Wundagore
and let me handle the matter.
[Spider-Man thinking]
Naoko must really think
Peter Parker's a jerk now.
But what else could I do?
I have to stop all this,
but not by surrendering.
What I wouldn't give
for the days
when my toughest decision
was figuring out
what fruit to put in my
cornflakes every morning?
[Lord Tyger]
This is a day of infamy.
It is the Creator's will.
Surely, you do not
oppose him.
Carry on.
Prepare to fire.
[Spider-Man]
Thanks, guys.
This could be
just what I need.
Oh, don't worry.
I'll get you a new one
next time I go to the weapons
of mass destruction store.
Spider-Man!
Stop him!
Ahh!
[groans]
[Sir Ram] Stand down!
He's mine.
[Spider-Man thinking]
Duck and cover, Spidey.
Duck and cover.
If I could only
get my feet free.
[powering up]
[Lord Tyger]
Hold your fire, sir.
Get out of my way!
The High Evolutionary's order
was to take Spider-Man alive.
Thanks for the massage, guys,
but I really gotta run.
He's getting away!
And it's on your head.
[grunts]
What is this,
a class reunion?
Ahh! Ooh! Uhh!
Ahh!
Didn't anybody ever
teach you to play fair?
The Knights aren't
the only ones with big guns.
We are out-weaponed.
Fall back.
[Spider-Man] Gotta tell you,
John-John,
you might just be
a bona fide hero after all.
Don't congratulate me yet,
web slinger.
This isn't over by a long shot.
Who you calling a hero?
You rebels are the reason
we're in this mess
in the first place.
[crowd clamoring]
Always so eager
to turn on one another
and prove their inferiority.
Spider-Man and the rebels
have positioned
as you requested,
Your Highness.
Excellent work, Tyger.
Time for a taste of some
modulated brain harmonics.
-[crowd clamoring]
-[man]
We don't need your help!
We don't want you around!
Whoa, whoa. Hold on, folks.
We're on your side.
[thinking]
My spider sense tells me
we've got a bigger problem
than this crowd.
[high-pitched tone]
[crowd strains]
What-- What's going on?
[groans]
Some kind of sonic weapon.
It was a trap.
They knew we'd fight.
[groans]
[laughing]
Now, this is what we call...
a real photo-op.
[both laugh]
[high-pitched tone]
[both cry out]
[groans]
Man, last thing I remember
is the fat lady singing...
loud...
right in my ear...
and really off key.
[groans]
[John] Spider-Man?
How you doing, John boy?
Your head feel as bad as mine?
Karen.
Where's Karen?
[groans]
Took her to... Wundagore.
Brock? Cassidy?
They got you, too?
But we'll have the last laugh.
Something else I got
to tell you, wall crawler,
and it's not pretty.
Gee,
why spoil a perfect day?
Oops. Too late.
I trust you slept well?
Oh, yeah.
The only thing missing
was the mint on my pillow.
I have grown
extremely weary
of you and your friends,
Spider-Man--
so much so,
that I have come
to a decision.
Oh, I can't wait to hear this.
Awaken the rest of the prisoners
and take them to Dome 2.
[Lord Tyger]
Yes, Your Highness.
[clicking tongue] Such a waste.
After last night's events,
it has become clear to me
that humans are even lower
on the evolutionary ladder
than I thought.
You are nothing
but a blight
on the face of this Earth,
which is why I have decided
to eradicate the problem.
Cut to the chase, top job.
Last night's demonstration
of my modulated brain harmonics
was merely a taste
of what is to come.
By harnessing your brain waves,
I will be able to broadcast
the harmonics with a power
never before imagined,
a power strong enough
to destroy the minds
of the entire human race.
What? Your Highness,
you would destroy them all?
The entire species?
Silence!
Or would you like me to add
the mind of a Bestial
to this mix?
You think this proves
your superiority?
I'd say it shows
just the opposite.
What you say
is of no consequence.
[Spider-Man] Modulated brain
harmonics?
How the heck
do I counteract that?
[strains]
[thinking] Wait a minute.
We're talking
sound here, right?
If I can modulate
my suit's sonic output,
I may be able to alter
the High Evolutionary's
frequency
and put the kibosh
in this whole operation.
Say farewell
to the human race.
[beeping]
[all straining]
[moans]
[screams]
[all straining]
[grunts]
[thinking]
Got to find the right tone
to counteract it.
-Sonics on.
-[high-pitched alarm sound]
-[groans]
-[screaming]
[screaming]
You did this!
[shouts]
[grunts]
You pestiferous little bug.
[Spider-Man thinking]
I almost forgot about this
bozo's telekinetic powers.
[grunts]
This is a pretty
good reminder.
[grunts]
[grunts]
[grunts]
[strains]
[groans]
You do not know
how wonderful it will feel
to finally be rid of you,
Spider-Man.
[Spider-Man]
I've had a few dates
say the very same thing.
[grunts]
[shouts]
[grunts]
[cries out]
[roars]
[grunts]
[laughs]
Hidey-ho, neighborinos.
[thinking] Goblin,
you're alive?
The rumors of Mike the Miser
are greatly exaggerated.
But-- But how?
That rocket ship of yours
blew me right into
reject territory.
Couple hours after you left,
they found me
and nursed me back to health.
We're so buddy-buddy,
I got Alice to dig me
a tunnel right here.
You dare interfere with me?
Careful. This guy's got
a heck of a mind punch.
Mind punch?
Ooh! Ahh!
Foolish creature.
Do you not know
that I am invincible?
Ah, go splice a gene.
[screams]
[grunts]
[cries out]
[groaning]
The Creator!
He's hurt the Creator!
Get out while you can.
We have to go to Wundagore.
[roars]
Go.
We got to help
Brock and Cassidy.
Spider-Man?
Let's get you out of here.
[Brock] Too late.
-It's too late for any of us.
-What're you talking about?
After Venom and I were
separated the last time,
the synoptic created
a seeding device
to be triggered
if it ever happened again.
Millions of spores will be
shot into the atmosphere,
bringing all other life
to an end.
