The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008–2009): Season 2, Episode 2 - Destructive Testing - full transcript
Peter feels great now Liz and Gwen appreciate him more as a tutor. Russian big game hunter, Sergei Kravinoff, who catches wild beasts with his bare hands and has a 'pet' lion, Gulyadkin, ...
- On my order.
- Stop.
Kravinoff, the beast is mad with fever.
It must be put down.
It can be saved.
We've tried tranquilizer darts.
Its hide is too--
Please.
Sergei Kravinoff
needs no tranquilizers...
...to bring down his prey.
You had better hope you're right.
Oh, no, you don't, my friend.
You need a nap, old man.
Good boy, Gulyadkin.
Sergei, my love.
You were magnificent
with that poor rhinoceros.
Do not patronize me, Calypso.
It was, as always, all too easy.
Then perhaps this
will brighten your mood.
Another package from
our anonymous friend in America.
This new beast is intriguing.
No other creature has this combination
of speed, agility and strength.
I am convinced.
It is a prey worthy of my prowess.
We will fly to New York...
...to hunt this Spider-Man.
Hey, Parker.
Flash look about done in there?
We got practice.
Cool it, King Kong.
Bio's not exactly QB's top subject.
Yeah, does he have a top subject?
- Football.
- Football.
Wow, and with no spider-sense.
Come on, Pete,
just tell her how you feel.
Gwen, I've been wanting to say...
Hey, Rand, look. Nerd love.
That I'm interning at ESU again.
I heard. I'm so happy for you.
I thought we could
head over together.
And maybe score a little
cross-town bus privacy for a real talk.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I aced that final. I can feel it.
And it's all because I had
the world's best tutor...
...Petey.
Well, I'm just glad I could help.
Hey. You didn't wait for me.
I wasn't sure your grateful pupil
would detach herself...
...in time for you to catch the bus.
There he is.
- Welcome back, Pete.
- Thanks.
And thanks for the second chance.
- I promise I won't need a third.
- We hope not, Peter.
Pete, this is Debra Whitman.
She's the new Eddie.
Hey, Deb.
It's nice to be working with you.
I think she prefers Debra.
Speaking of Eddie,
I know you two are friends.
- Have you heard from him?
- Yeah, I'm worried.
He was right behind me
at the Thanksgiving Parade...
...when that monster--
Anyway, I haven't seen him since.
Do you think--?
Sorry. I don't know where he is.
Believe me, I wish I did.
Curt, this research of yours
is stunning.
Kids, this is our new senior fellow,
Dr. Miles Warren.
- Miles, this--
- Yes, Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker.
My brother, your biology professor,
speaks highly of you both.
Now, about your theories...
...on lizard DNA's mutagenic
application to the human genome.
They mesh perfectly with my work...
...running computer simulations
on mammalian DNA.
Missing a step, of course.
The formula must be electrolyzed
to increase potency.
But if we combine our efforts...
...we could have a working,
programmable mutagen--
That line of research
was a dead end, Miles.
Something of an embarrassment,
really. Please, just drop it.
If you insist.
I think Liz Allan really is into me.
Gwen too.
Gwen, Liz. Liz, Gwen.
Web-slinging 30 floors up
never made me this dizzy.
There you are.
Such agility, such grace.
Truly, prey worthy of Sergei Kravinoff.
Where'd you come from?
Mother Russia,
by way of mother Africa.
Two moms and still so ill-behaved?
Look, what's the game here?
Big game. Now be still.
The noblest prey ends the hunt
in silent dignity.
Prey? Silent?
Dignity? You don't know me at all.
You cannot shake Sergei Kravinoff
so easily.
Hey, Spidey never does
anything easy.
Oh, man, now you've got me talking
in the third person.
Just for that...
Amazing.
No beast has ever broken
the grip of Kravinoff.
Oh, okay,
I think I see the confusion.
Not a beast, a spider man, get it?
Always Kravinoff tempers his skills
to give his quarry a chance.
At last, Kravinoff can be Kravinoff...
...and thrill to a true challenge.
Missed.
And missed again.
Okay, point for you.
But proportionate strength
of a spider here.
- I'll snap this thing and--
- Don't bother.
This blow dart is tipped
with a paralyzing poison.
It will all be over soon.
What is this?
Just a little sample of my spectacular
spider powers, chief.
Here's another.
Okay, the thermals with the hearts
were half-price...
...and do not reflect
my very high macho quotient.
You just don't get it.
You're good. Maybe at hunting,
you're even the best.
But when it comes to the New York
super-powered scene...
...you're out of your league.
No.
This cannot be happening
to Sergei Kravinoff.
Oh, Kravin off.
Look at that guy.
You have need of me, love?
I did not call you.
And yet I am here.
No, Calypso.
Only the hunt may restore
my lost honor.
Gulyadkin.
Formula electrolyzed.
Point 02 volts for three seconds.
Increased cell division.
I'm as close to adapting
Dr. Connors' mutagen...
...to mammalian DNA
as I can come...
...without a test subject.
He has been here.
What is this place?
My laboratory.
What a magnificent specimen.
Yours, I presume?
Gulyadkin is no man's property.
These spiders,
they do not exist in the natural world.
Genetically altered to combine traits
from multiple species.
- You can do that?
- I can.
Then you created the Spider-Man.
Yes, I gave Spider-Man his powers.
Powers, yes.
That is how he beat me.
The only reason he beat me.
Give me powers.
Spider-Man paid handsomely
for his.
Why should I pay
for what I can take?
You'll have no idea
what I'm doing to you.
Would you really trust me...
...if it weren't in my self-interest
to succeed?
Winding down the fourth quarter
of the state championship...
...Mustangs are down by five
as Woodoak runs out the clock.
Say, hey, what do you say
Midtown will come back today
Go, Mustangs! Defense!
Man, I love spectator sports.
Hey, Petey. Is that the new camera?
Yep, paid for with the advance
from my exclusive deal with the Bugle.
Peter. Did I hear you say
you're taking pictures for the Bugle?
Liz, you can't want to be
in the paper that badly.
Geekitude is contagious.
I don't mind catching
what Petey's got.
Gorillas fumble!
King Kong recovers.
Midtown's ball with 30 seconds
on the clock.
Thompson to Robertson.
Out of bounds at the 50, 12 seconds.
Rand, Rand, he's our man
Rand, Rand, he's my man
Gold ninety. Gold ninety.
Hut-hut.
Come on, Flash, you can do it.
Can't believe I just said that.
Flash Thompson
unleashes the bomb.
And Brown catches it!
The Mustangs win state!
The Mustangs win state!
Wait. Thompson's down.
Flash?
Flash.
Here's the last
of your down payment, doctor.
The rest comes
when I get what I need.
And if I don't,
Gulyadkin makes the final payment.
There's no need for melodrama.
The mutagen was compounded
to your specifications.
One more jolt...
...and you're a new man.
I feel nothing.
Days of treatments and still nothing.
You dare try to fool Kravinoff?
Admit it.
You are in league with Spider-Man.
His scent is all over this lab.
You can smell him?
I believe I'm owed
an apology, Kravinoff.
Call me Kraven.
Kraven the Hunter.
It's not like I want bad things
to happen to Flash.
Well, not super bad things.
Well, at least not super bad things
that make Liz forget I exist.
And why stress over Liz anyway?
I'm into Gwen.
Right?
Hey, I know that getup.
Kravinoff, is that you?.
You can call me Kraven now.
I could call you a lot of things.
What happened to you?
Same as happened to you.
Except Kraven pay
for higher class of DNA.
- You paid to do that to yourself?
- Of course.
Now Kraven climb
and leap like leopard...
...run fast as cheetah...
...and possess strength of lion.
Don't get any ideas.
Before, your powers
gave advantage.
But Kraven has levelled the field,
and you will fall like any prey.
Hate to break it to you, tabby.
You're not my first genetic experiment
gone wrong.
Just the first that smells
like a litter box.
All I smell is fear.
Perfect.
Hang on. Gotta take this.
- Liz?
- Oh, Petey, thank goodness.
Flash is in surgery,
and I'm freaking out.
Can you come
to Manhattan General?
I'm in the middle of something.
Please, Petey. I really need you.
You do? Okay.
Soon as I can, I promise.
Thanks, Petey.
Oh, Flash's parents are here.
Gotta go, bye.
Yeah, she's gotta go.
That's it. I've had enough of gorillas
for one night.
This one's for Flash.
Can't believe I just thought that.
Here, kitty, kitty.
Wish I was playing hide and seek
with Black Cat.
I so prefer my felines female.
Yeah, the werewolf look was passé.
But the mummy thing, pure gold.
Now you're mine, prey.
Sorry, who's the prey?
Take that, pussycat.
A lesson in humility,
courtesy of the original...
...and still number one
genetic misfit, me.
Liz.
Petey.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
But Flash is still in surgery.
I know you two aren't exactly close,
but if you'd just sit with me...
Sure, as long as it takes.
Thanks.
I'm so glad you--
Well, he did great.
There's every reason to be hopeful.
But we won't know how the knee
will heal for months.
He'll wake soon.
Immediate family only.
Calypso?
This change, it--
The eyes suit you, love.
The hunt is not over.
Glad to hear it.
Our anonymous American friend
now has a name of sorts.
I'm called the Master Planner.
And I was wondering...
...how do you feel
about hunting in packs?
- Stop.
Kravinoff, the beast is mad with fever.
It must be put down.
It can be saved.

Its hide is too--
