Scorpion Rising

1
We're a dynamic duo, you know?
We tell each other everything.
Everything?
-Harry was trying to tell me that you're
-[gasps]
[tense music playing]
-[Mac] This ain't over.
-They're a crew that showed up recently.
Call themselves the Scorpions.
-[panting]
-[tires screech]
[Big Donovan] Carmilla hasn't made
any more moves against us.
She was probably just trying
to freak you out.
We'll keep you safe.
I can tell you're young.
You're trying to do the right thing.
But this isn't it.
Osborn is hiding something.
I've been doing research into the devices
you encountered on those criminals.
Otto Octavius.
If we stop Octavius, we stop his designs
from getting into the wrong hands.
The plan worked.
He led me right to their hideout.
-Good work.
-[fire crackling]
Let me just say, you're gorgeous!

[pop music playing,
Swim School "Don't Leave Me Behind"]
-Nico! Wait!
-[girl grunts]
-Sorry, excuse me. Nico!
-What?
[pop music continues]
Nico, please, just talk to me.
[Nico sighs]
[groans softly]
You really outdid yourself
on this one, Peter.
So, tell me, what could the dynamic duo
possibly fight about?
Oh, um [sighs]
You know, we just
[sighs] I I messed up, big time,
and I don't know how to fix it.
[Pearl] At least you know
what you did wrong. [sighs]
-[players yelling, laughing]
-Uh-oh.
-Watch out! [groans]
-[Mike grunts]
-[yelling continues]
-And have you talked to Lonnie recently?
[chuckles] He would have to stop
ignoring me for that to happen.
Well, I didn't know it was that serious.
I was worried
that he hadn't been at school,
but I figured you would know why.
-[somber music playing]
-[sighs]
I just wish he would tell me
what's going on.
It's obvious something's been
bothering him for a while. I
-I just want to know if it's me.
-What?
Pearl, there's no way it's you!
You're incredible,
[chuckles] and Lonnie knows it.
[sighs] Then,
why won't he just talk to me?
[breath trembling]
We're supposed to be partners
and he doesn't trust me enough
to tell me what he's going through!
[stammers]
-How am I supposed to not think it's me?
-[people murmuring]
[Pearl crying]
Sometimes, we keep things
from the people we care about
-because we wanna protect them.
-[crying]
I decide what I can and can't handle.
That
That's not someone else's choice to make.
[Pearl sighs]
Sorry to burden you with all this.
You can burden me anytime!
I mean, not that you're a burden to me
or anything, I just You know
[chuckles]
Thanks, Petey. It means a lot.
[stammers] I wish I could stay, but I've
got my internship so, I have to run,
but if you ever need anything,
I'm always available to
Oh! Oh, no! I [chuckles nervously]
I got it.
See you later, Pearl. [groans]
[chuckles]
Never change, Petey.
[phone vibrates]
[tense music playing]
[pone vibrates]
-[thug 1] You spittin' facts, baby!
-[thug 2] Yeah, That's right!
-[thug 3] Oh, man
-How are you guys so calm?
You're not even slightly worried about
the Scorpions chasing us all over Harlem?
Scorpions know whose turf this is.
And if they didn't get the hint
from the last time they tried us,
[chuckles] well, we'll be more than ready
for round two.
[thugs] That's right.
That's what's up. Yeah, that's true.
[phone vibrating]
[rap music playing, Hannibal Stax
& Marco Polo "Gunz & Butter"]
[sighs]
-Hey, Mom.
-[Mrs. Lincoln] Lonnie, where are you?
You weren't in your room this morning.
Did you leave last night?
Yeah, yeah,
I spent the night over at Mike's.
He needed a bit 'a tutoring for chemistry.
[Mrs. Lincoln]
Just make sure you call next time.
I I don't mean to worry,
but Dre seems to be
finding his way back to us
and things are finally
getting back to normal.
Eh?
Ah, don't worry, Mom.
I have everything under control.
[Mrs. Lincoln sighs] Okay, sweetheart.
I'll see you later. I love you.
I love you, too.
-[thugs laughing]
-Love you, Mommy!
Hey, superstar momma's boy!
[Big Donovan] Yo! You think it's funny?
Let your momma know she loved?
-[thug 1] Our bad, D.
-Don't sweat them fools.
Come on, Tombstone. You're one of us now.
And the One Tenth ain't gonna let no one
hurt the people on our turf.
[thug 2] I I love my mom, too.
Mr. Osborn, sir?
Dr. Connors said you wanted to see me?
Yes, come in, Peter.
-Activate security protocol.
-[whirring, clanking]
-That'll never not be cool.
-[trills]
I've got Oscorp's mass spectrometer
working in sync with our satellite
to locate Octavius by tracking the energy
left behind by his weapons.
I just need to identify
the type of elements
he's using to trace their energy output
back to the source.
Um, what about deuterium?
Hmm. Not strong enough.
Tritium?
Even Octavius would have
a hard time finding that.
[Peter] MmSolar?
[laughs] I doubt he's managed
to harness the power of the sun.
Well, are there any elements
from the signal
that you were able to identify?
I found some traces of lead,
but it was a mixture.
Lead? Hmm.
What if it's
a lead-polyethylene-boron composite?
That would explain why the lead reading
came out as a mixture!
Uh, not to mention
boron carbide stands out
since it has extraordinary properties
like ultra-high hardness,
low density,
and high temperature strength.
The biggest use for that kind of composite
is for nuclear shielding.
-Particularly with
-Gamma Radiation
[keypad beeping]
He wouldn't really use that stuff, right?
I mean, he has to know
how dangerous it is,
especially as a power source.
I mean, if the casing surrounding it
were to overheat,
it can melt and cause
severe radiation burns, uh, poisoning.
It could even fuse with someone's skin.
You know,
[sighs] one of the last conversations
I had with Otto was about Gamma.
He argued
that we were holding ourselves back
by not experimenting with its properties.
I put my foot down
and he called me a coward.
-Sir?
-[Norman sighs]
Good work, Peter.
Thanks to you,
we'll be able to get Octavius
and his weapons off the street for good.
-This is the first step to
-[alarm blaring]
[dispatch on speakers] Code red,
evacuate the area of east 42nd street.
Multiple injuries reported.
Threat is still at large.
Judging by its energy output,
this must be a new piece of tech
created by Octavius.
Looks like it's headed towards Harlem.
-Suit up, Peter.
-On it.
Wait, where's Harry?
Shouldn't we tell him what's happening?
It's fine. I'll run point with you.
Harry's taking care
of a personal matter today.
[Harry] "Hey, Nico, how's life?"
No, um "Oh, Nico, you live here?"
[sighs] No! All right, come on, Harry.
Just relax. You can handle a conversation.
Uh, hello, there.
I've noticed you've been pacing
outside our door for a while.
Is everything all right?
Oh, sorry. I might be at the wrong house.
I'm looking for a girl named Nico?
[chuckles] No, you're at the right place.
She's one of my foster kids.
Let me get her.
-[yells] Nico! Someone's here to see you!
-[whimsical music playing]
-[Nico] Coming.
-[child 1] One.
[child 2] You're it! Come on!
-[kids laughing]
-I'll just let you kids talk.
[whispers] He is so cute!
[whispers] Susan!
[chuckles nervously]
What do you want, Osborn?
Well, I I wanted to, uh
[stammers] Sorry, one sec.
No, that's for Kyla. No, that's for
the Nike board of directors [chuckles]
Hold on, it's here, just let me sort by
Okay, bye.
Wait! Please, just
Can we talk? [sighs]
[Nico's stomach growls]
[amusing music playing]
Wanna get some food?
Sure, but you're buying.
And just so you know, I eat. A lot.
-[Harry] Cool view, huh?
-[horns honking in distances]
I love coming up here
when I need to, you know,
-get away from all the cameras.
-[sighs] Fine, I'll hear him out.
[Harry] pretty draining having people
constantly vying for your attention.
I'm sure.
So did you need something,
or do you just pay for people's food
to flaunt your money?
[sighs]
I wanted to ask you to forgive Peter.
[scoffs] Of course, you do.
Let me guess, he put you up to this?
This is all on me.
Look, it wasn't my place
to tell you Peter's secret
and I know I really messed things up
between you two.
-I'm just trying to fix it.
-Why?
Peter's clearly more than content
to keep me out of the loop
while you guys play hero.
No need to have me join the gang now.
It's not like he became a hero
to spite you.
He just wants to help people.
Right, and I'm sure
he's doing wonderful things out there.
How could he not with his new bestie
as his rich kid sidekick?
What is wrong with you?
Do you hate the idea
of him being a hero that much?
It's not about him being a hero.
It's about him moving on
and leaving me behind
-just like everyone else.
-[solemn music playing]
Nico
Peter would never leave you behind.
-You're his best friend.
-He already has.
Every time he ignored me or ditched me,
he was out playing superhero with you.
Look, you're constantly surrounded
by people that adore you.
I wouldn't expect you to understand.
Right. Because there's no way
someone like me could ever understand you.
Look, I know you wanna blame me
for ruining everything,
but the reality is,
I'm not the one who kept all this a secret
from you in the first place.
[sighs]
[sighs]
Sorry.
The truth is Peter is actually
the first friend I've had in a while
that wasn't trying to use me
for money or likes.
And if it makes you feel better,
Peter didn't intentionally bring me
on to team Spider-Man.
I only found out
because I was in the right place
at the right time.
-Funny how that works out.
-[sighs]
I can tell that this isn't going to work.
I'll drive you home.
[engine starts]
-I'm sorry.
-What?
Oh, I I didn't hear that.
You're gonna have to speak up.
-I said, nice car.
-[tires screech]
I can't even drive yet,
and you could probably break
the sound barrier with this thing.
[tires screech]
You know, I could teach you
-if you'd like.
-What?
[chuckles] Yeah. It'll be fun. Come on.
[sighs]
[intense music playing]
[dispatcher] Requesting backup
to east 42nd street,
multiple explosions
from an unknown source.
-All units, respond.
-[sirens wailing]
[Norman] Peter, have you found it yet?
[Peter] Not yet, sir.
Whatever this thing is,
it's causing a lot of damage.
Could you use that spectrometer thing
to get another ping?
[trilling]
Where are you, Octavius?
-[Peter on comms] Sir? Hello?
-Oh, yes.
I'll sync the spectrometer with your suit.
It should allow you
to track the energy like a beacon.
Got it! Thanks, Mr. Osborn.
-[exclaims]
-[intense music playing]
-[tires screech]
-[engine revving]
I'd say that attempt
was pretty successful.
Well, at least,
you didn't run the stop sign this time.
[sighs] You know, maybe this is my sign
from the universe to stick to the subway.
[chuckles] You're doing fine.
I crashed my dad's Audi
the first time I tried to drive.
Besides, who needs the subway
when you have
the great Harry Osborn as your teacher.
-[both laugh]
-[engine revving]
[upbeat electronic music playing
on speakers]
[engine revving]
Damn! Nice ride.
Wait, I know you.
You're that Osborn brat.
-[Harry sighs]
-[laughs] Lemme guess,
you letting your lil' goth girlfriend
joyride to Hot Topic? [laughs]
[gasps] Uh-oh! Don't let Mommy find out.
-Hey!
-It's okay. Let's just go.
I'm not the one
who has to add fire on my car
to make it seem like it's going fast.
Though kudos
for making it match your life,
-considering both seem to be up in flames.
-[gasps]
[woman] You wanna mess with me,
Beetlejuice?
I'll race you right now
and put you in your place.
Let's do it.
First one to the sub shop,
eight blocks down.
Wait, what?
-[engines revving]
-What up, y'all? It's ya boy Klev.
I was just here hanging out,
but it looks like a street race
is about to pop off,
so you know I had to bring it to ya,
right now live, on KlevTV.
Hey, you. Count us down.
-[engine revving]
-[Klev] Okay, just so y'all know,
earlier when you had
called her "Beetlejuice,"
I think what you actually meant was Lydia.
-That's the girl who
-Just count.
Nico, we really shouldn't do this.
You're just learning how to drive.
[shudders] Remember that stop sign?
-Three!
-[engines revving]
Don't worry, Osborn.
-I had a pretty okay teacher.
-[Klev] Two!
-One!
-[upbeat music intensifies]
Hey! I got next!
[engines revving]
[gasps]
[engine revving]
-[gasps]
-[chimes]
-[grunts]
-[tires screech]
-[laughs]
-Can't this thing go any faster?
-Only if we turn on track mode.
-Then turn on track mode!
[beeps]
-[whooshing]
-[both yelling]
[serene triumphant music playing]
-[whooshes]
-[people gasp]
[tires screech]
[woman] Oh, come on! That was not fair!
[grumbling] Stupid Lydia, God!
-That was
-I know, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have done that with your car
Awesome! [laughing]
Oh, man! That was so sick!
I can't believe you actually won
after barely learning
how to turn a corner!
-I know. I'm pretty great.
-[chuckles] I'll say.
I mean, you're never driving my car again
but that was amazing!
[pants] Fair enough.
[gasps] Holy crap! Is that Harry Osborn?
I take it back. Drive!
[tires screech]
[rap music playing, Hannibal Stax
& Marco Polo "Gunz & Butter"]
Yo, Tombstone.
[Bulldozer]
You got someone here to see you.
Pearl? What are you doin' here?
[gasps]
[gun cocking]
[gun clicks]
-I can't believe you're actually here.
-Uh-oh. Somebody got girl problems.
-Look out!
-[grunts]
-Sorry, I gotta take this.
-I'm gonna go over here, bruh.
[Pearl sighs]
I didn't believe your brother
when he said that
this was where you had been going
-but I had to come check just in c
-My brother?
[sighs] Okay, look, it doesn't matter.
Pearl, you need to leave.
-You shouldn't be here. It's not safe.
-Yeah?
Then why are you here?
Lonnie, I am not an idiot.
Dre told me everything.
He's worried about you, Lon!
We both are.
-I mean, a gang?
-[solemn music playing]
This isn't your world.
You don't play around with this stuff.
Please, just let us help you.
[gasps]
[tense music playing]
[sighs]
I don't need your help.
Or anyone else's for that matter.
I have everything under
-[explosion]
-[Pearl gasps]
[Pearl screams]
[Mac distorted] Knock, knock.
-[growls]
-[Mac] Can Donovan come out to play?
-[laughing maniacally]
-Yo, get in there! What's wrong with you?
-[gunfire]
-[Pearl screams]
[villainous music playing]
[metal clanging]
[guns clicking]
[Bulldozer] He's still standing!
-[whirring]
-[Mac laughing maniacally]
-[groans]
-[Mac] Hope you don't mind
I brought a knife to a gunfight.
[thugs gasp]
-[Mac laughing]
-[Pearl gasping]
-[Mac] A true host greets his guest
-[groans]
when they come to his home.
Guess I'll just have to teach you
some manners.
-[whirring]
-[thugs scream]
-[villainous music continuing]
-Stay here.
Mm-hmm.
[Big Donovan and Mac grunt]
-[groaning]
-[whirring]
Now, to finish what we started.
-[yelling]
-Ah.
[groans]
-Just the person I was looking for.
-[groans]
-[whirring]
-[groans]
-[groans]
-Let's set an example.
-Oh, oh, oh!
-[coughing]
-[gasps]
-[Mac] Let's see what happens
when you try to play hero.
-[Spider-Man] Mind if I give it a shot?
-[gasps]
-[grunts]
-[Pearl screams]
[heroic music playing]
[Spider-Man] Lonnie? What's he doing here?
[hoarsely] Pearl!
-[screams]
-[Spider-Man] Pearl! [grunts]
-It's okay, miss. I got ya.
-[Pearl gasps]
[intense music playing]
[whirring]
-[Spider-Man] Don't worry, you're
-Safe!
[Spider-Man and Mac grunt]
Lady, you and your
friend need to run, now!
-Mm-hmm.
-[Bulldozer] We gotta go!
[Pearl] It's okay, Lon. I got you.
-[whirring]
-[Mac yells]
[Spider-Man] Are you seeing this,
Mr. Osborn?
[Norman] Hmm.
And I thought the lady with the helmet
was weird but a tail?
[Spider-Man and Mac yell]
Okay, shouldn't have insulted the tail.
[tires screech]
[Nico sighs] Well, I can't say
I'll be joining NASCAR just yet,
but I think that was a pretty successful
first attempt at driving.
[chuckles] Forget NASCAR.
It's the Fast and Furious
kind of life for you.
[both chuckle]
I had a really good time
getting to know you, Nico.
Thanks again for hearing me out.
Well, it's not like
I could pass up free food.
[chuckles] Right. Well. Have a good night.
[gasps] Mm.
Wait!
I
I'm sorry. You were right.
Before I even met you,
I pegged you as a vapid, rich, pretty boy,
and didn't give you a chance.
It was wrong of me to judge you
like you that, and
you're not too bad.
Maybe you are a good friend to Pete.
Well, you weren't completely wrong
on all accounts.
I am definitely a pretty boy.
[both chuckle]
So, everything's Gucci?
[chuckles] We're Gucci.
Great. I'll let Peter know and then
-What? No. I'm still mad at Pete.
-[melancholy music playing]
Peter and I
are supposed to be best friends.
Since the day we met,
he's been like a brother to me,
-but this whole time
-[gasps, sighs]
he's been keeping this major secret.
He didn't trust me enough
to let me into this huge part of his life.
That's not something I can just get over.
[sighs] I mean, I think
he just wanted to protect you.
Trust me, having power
also means having a lot of enemies.
It's one thing to risk your own life,
but it's another thing to be willing
to risk the people closest to you.
Maybe that was just the risk
-he wasn't willing to take.
-[sighs]
I can't control how you feel about Peter
but, um, hopefully, moving forward,
you can count me
as one of your friends too?
This time you could give me
a real tarot reading.
[chuckles]
I would love to.
Though don't blame me
if your reading comes out bad.
[both laughing]
[both sighs]
[gasps]
[chuckles]
[chill music playing]
See you around, Nico.
Back at ya, Osb Harry.
[sighs]
[phone dialing]
-[Mac laughing maniacally]
-[grunting]
[intense music playing]
[Mac] Come on, araña.
Don't tell me you're too afraid
to fight a Scorpion?
Scorpion, no.
Psycho pretending to be a Scorpion, yes!
-Huh?
-[grunts]
[groans]
[cracking]
[Spider-Man groans]
[whirring]
[groans] Ouch. That did some damage.
[static]
[Spider-Man on comms] He's not letting me
reach him with that tail.
[Norman] Oh, yes.
Use your environment, Peter.
[Spider-Man grunts]
I think he had the same idea.
Try cutting through this!
-Wow, you did it.
-[gasps]
-[grunts]
-[intense music swells]
[Spider-Man] Well, this was super fun,
but I think it's time to wrap things up.
If you ever need another butt-kicking,
just look for your
Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
Huh?
[groans] Out of web fluid.
-[static]
-[clicks]
Well, he's all tied up, sir.
That psycho took all the web I had.
-Nice job, Peter.
-Thanks, Mr. Osborn.
I mean, I'm getting pretty good at this.
I guess I'll head back.
-Sounds good.
-[sighs]
All right, Scorpion guy,
just wait here while I find a pest control
professional to take you
-[whirring]
-[tense music playing]
[web creaking]
Uh
-[whirring]
-[Mac grunting]
[growls]
-[whirring continuing]
-[Mac grunting]
[screaming]
[Spider-Man] Stop it!
That thing is overheating!
[screams]
You think this hurts?
This is nothing!
Nothing to me!
Mr. Osborn, he just tore out
of my webbing. Any ideas?
-[tense music playing]
-[Spider-Man on comms] Mr. Osborn?
[laughing maniacally]
[whirring]
Oh, shoot
[yells]
[grunting]
[Spider-Man] Whoa!
[straining] Play nice.
[metal creaking]
Now when you calm down,
you can have your tail back.
[yelling]
[intense music playing]
[yelling]
[Spider-Man grunts]
[Spider-Man groaning]
[groaning]
[screams]
[groans]
Mr. Osborn, any other ideas?
[suspenseful music playing]
-[pinging]
-[Norman] Come out, come out, old friend.
[beeps, trills]
[beeping]
[Mac laughing]
[Spider-Man straining]
[gasps]
-[grunts]
-[whirring]
[Mac grunts]
[grunting]
[whooshing]
[music swells]
[screams]
[somber music playing]
I found you, Otto.
[alarm beeping]
[Spider-Man groaning]
[Norman on comms]
Peter, what just happened?
[weakly] Mr. Osborn. [groans]
[Norman] I'm getting reports
that your suit has been punctured.
That shouldn't be possible.
[groans] It's possible.
[groans]
Please, I I need your help, sir.
-[pinging]
-[tense music continuing]
[Mac cackling]
[groaning]
[thudding]
[groaning]
[Mac] Sorry, araña.
This is one fight
you won't crawl away from.
[weakly] Help. [groans]
-[screeching echoes]
-Huh?
[whirring approaches]
[gasps]
[groans]
[grunting] All right!
Your little tricks won't work on me!
Come and fight me, you coward!
[Mac screaming]
[coughs, groans]
[Norman on speakers] Spider-Man!
[somber music continuing]
[Norman] Climb on!
[grunting]
[grunting]
[whooshes]
[growls]
[shouting] Next time,
I'll finish you for good, araña!
