[Nico] Guess you got busy. [sighs]
I'm bailing on this party.
Talk to you later.
Mr. Osborn wants a word with you.

-So, you're Spider-Man.
-[tense music playing]
We'll talk more soon,
but your secret is safe with me.
[Norman echoing] So
You're Spider-Man.
So
You're Spider-Man.
So
You're Spider-Man.
So, you're Spider-Man.
-[music stops]
-[exclaims] What?
I said you're dead, dude. You lost.
Yeah. [chuckles nervously] Good game.
Thanks. I really am great.
-Anyway, what happened to you last night?
-[chill music playing]
You left me hanging at that jock festival.
Oh, right. The party.
-Y Yeah, I'm sorry about that, Nico.
-You should be.
I had to have a conversation
with someone named "Sweaty Mike"
about how lo-fi music is timeless.
I hope your Oscorp thing was better,
but only slightly.
It was surprising.
[groans, sighs]
Ya know, if you need help getting out,
hit me up.
I have so many suggestions
on how to burn bridges.
Quit? N No way. Why would I quit?
[chuckles] Everything is going fine.
Better than fine really.
Like, uh, super fine.
-[sighs]
-Sure. If you say so, Pete.
Sounds like you need to de-stress.
Ooh, ooh! This arthouse theater is doing
a kung-fu movie marathon tonight
-if you wanna check it out.
-Really?
Wait. Sorry, I can't.
Mr. Osborn wanted to meet with me
for dinner tonight.
Says he wants to "pick my brain."
I assume you mean that literally.
-[chuckles] I don't think so.
-[knock at door]
[Ms. O'Hara] Hey, Nico, do you mind
Oh, hey, Peter.
Hi, Ms. O'Hara.
Nico, it looks like
one of your foster brothers
made a bit of a mess in the kitchen.
-Uh, could you give me a hand real quick?
-Sure, Susan.
Well, keep your guard up, Pete.
Those big CEO types are always trying
to take advantage of the little guy.
[groans]
[pensive music playing]
There's nothin' to worry about.
Everything is fine.
You're just meeting up with Norman Osborn
to discuss the fact that
he knows you're
Spider-Man. [sighs]
This is totally, perfectly,
incredibly fine.
[music swells]
Whoa.
[soft piano music playing]
[chuckles nervously]
So glad you could make it.
I trust you had no trouble
finding the place.
I may have gotten turned around a bit.
[chuckles] Sorry for being late,
but it looks like
I beat everyone else here.
[chuckles] Yeah, well, I wanted
our conversation to be a bit more private,
so I took the liberty
of renting out the entire restaurant.
[waitress] Ah, yes, Mr. Osborn.
What can I get for you and your associate?
[Norman] Peter?
Oh. Could I please get Whoa!
[clears throat] I mean,
I will have a glass of water, please.
[chuckles] No, everything is on me, Peter.
Please help yourself.
Mr. Osborn, that's so kind,
but really, I couldn't.
No, I insist.
Well, if you insist.
[gentle music playing]
Well, I must admit,
your appetite is extremely impressive.
I'd ask where you're putting
all that food,
but I imagine you burn
quite a lot of energy during your
part-time job.
Look, Mr. Osborn.
I know what you think you saw
on that video yesterday,
but after giving it some thought,
I can only conclude that
it's someone on your security team
playing a prank on you.
A prank
by my security team?
Yeah. That's gotta be it.
Hmm. That is interesting.
Namely because the camera
that captured that footage
was one of my own personal
security cameras.
Monitored by me and only me.
Meaning no one other than me
has access to it.
That's why it's such a good prank.
Come on, Peter.
You'd have been better off just saying
you were friends with Spider-Man.
[groans] Okay, you're right.
-[sighs, groans]
-[emotional music playing]
I am Spider-Man.
Just, please don't tell my Aunt May!
She's under enough stress.
She doesn't need to know about this.
[chuckles] Look at you.
Even when someone knows your secret,
your biggest concern
is the well-being of someone else.
You're just as remarkable as the things
I've seen you do as your alter ego.
Whether it's stopping
a petty theft here and there,
or saving a bus full of passengers
from a runaway vehicle
-Mr. Osborn, I I don't
-Peter, do you remember this?
I do.
Yeah, a few weeks ago I stopped
some muggers from robbing that guy.
You also swung out of nowhere
and saved that boy
from getting hit by a truck.
-Do you remember that?
-Yeah.
-That boy you saved is my son, Harry.
-[emotional music swells]
From that day,
I vowed I would find Spider-Man
and repay him for saving Harry's life.
It only took a moment
of looking past that homemade suit
to see the genius of his webbing.
Fluid, yet durable.
The firing mechanisms on his wrists.
So, the question became,
-who created these things?
-[pensive music playing]
Most of the greatest scientific minds
are already working at Oscorp,
but after checking the usual suspects,
I realized the person wasn't among us.
That meant they must be younger.
Soon enough, I'd narrowed it down
to four brilliant minds.
Amadeus, Asha, Jeanne,
-and you, Peter.
-[gasps]
I theorized that one of you
could be assisting Spider-Man,
so I started the Oscorp Internship
to keep an eye on each of you.
-And
-[sips]
imagine my surprise when I discovered
you aren't just assisting him,
you actually are Spider-Man.
[laughs]
So, the only question now, Peter,
is, "What do you need?"
[coughs, clears throat]
[stammers] Uh I'm sorry?
What do you need?
What can I do to make your life easier?
As I mentioned,
your webbing is incredible,
but the rest of your attire
could definitely use an upgrade.
Night vision for your lenses?
Mild electric shock in the suit
to ward off attackers?
Police scanner wired into the mask?
[chuckles] I actually already have
a scanner wired into the mask.
[chuckles] Of course, you do
Of course, you do.
You're an extremely
clever young man, Peter.
Well, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I'm thinking we get you a suit
with a bit more durable fabric,
including an extensive GPS system,
could be more helpful.
Am I right? I'm right.
Okay, maybe we add a drone?
Is that too much?
Yeah, a drone [chuckling]
Yeah, a bit too much.
-I'm getting ahead of myself.
-[Peter] Mr. Osborn,
I really appreciate you
wanting to help me, sincerely,
but I need to do this alone.
The day I got these powers,
I wasn't sure why.
You know, why me? Why not someone else?
Someone that could've been
the next Captain America,
instead of some kid from Queens,
but now I truly believe
that I have these powers to help people,
to protect them as Spider-Man.
And if that means endangering myself,
I'm okay with that,
but you helping me could put you,
or the nice people at Oscorp in danger.
[sighs] You offered me an internship
because you wanted to find Spider-Man,
but maybe it's safer if neither Spider-Man
or Peter Parker are working with Oscorp.
Peter, I can assure you
that I can take care of myself,
but I respect your concern.
I'll also respect your wishes,
while promising you
that your secret will stay between us.
That said, I do hope that
you'll reconsider staying on at Oscorp.
You're obviously more than qualified,
and we're lucky to have you.
Regardless of what Spider-Man does,
Peter Parker
has a bright future ahead of him.
But if you do decide
to back out of the internship,
I'll completely understand.
At the very least, I'd like
to accommodate you for your first day.
Mr. Osborn, you don't have to do that.
It's already done.
It's the least I can do.
-[gasps]
-Thank you again, Peter,
-on behalf of me and my son.
-[sighs]
-[tense music playing]
-[dog barking]
-[woman sighs, shivers]
-[siren blaring in distance]
James, where is this fool?
No idea.
We're definitely
in the right place, though.
-[phone vibrating]
-Ooh, ooh! What'd he say? What'd he say?
He says to put the money in the dumpster.
[suspenseful music playing]
[creaking]
There's nothing in here but garbage.
Let me see that phone.
[sighs] Look, it says to put the money
in the trash.
W What do we have to lose?
I don't know, James,
maybe several thousand dollars?
Dios mío, why are the cute ones
always so dumb? [sighs]
Maria, this guy is supposed to be legit.
If he's half as good as I've heard,
we'll make that money back in no time
and if he's not, we'll kick his ass
and take our money back.
[sighs] If you say so.
-[metallic creaking]
-[whirring]
-[Maria gasps]
-[whirring]
[whirring]
-What the hell?
-[groans]
[phone vibrating]
"Pleasure doing business with you."
-[chuckles]
-[laughing]
Muah! You're a genius, baby!
-[May humming]
-[door opens]
-[Peter] May, I'm home!
-[sighs] Oh, hey, Peter.
Mr. Osborn told me to take the leftovers.
I don't know if you've ever had scallops,
[chuckles] but they are pretty good.
What's with all the boxes?
[May] Just clearing out some closet space.
Figured I might as well
go through this stuff
and sell a few things
we don't need online.
-[camera whirrs]
-You're sellin' this stuff?
I'm sure we can get a few bucks for it.
I mean, that sewing machine
is basically new.
I think you're the only one
who ever used it for your, um
-What was it again?
-Uh, home economics project.
That's, uh That's why I needed it.
Nothin' out of the ordinary or
anything.
Yeah, right. That was it. Huh.
I'll list it as "Like new."
Well, I guess that's my point, May.
I mean, most of this stuff is either new
or, well, it belonged to Ben.
-[camera clicking]
-[May sighs]
You know, I thought it would be hard,
Peter, but it's it's okay.
I mean, sometimes things
just gotta get done,
whether you want to do 'em or not.
Okay, well, let's see what else I got
hiding back there. Huh?
[school bell rings]
I can't believe you're gonna tell
Mr. CEO Billionaire,
Norman Moneybags Osborn,
to take his job and shove it.
[chuckles] Okay, I didn't say any of that.
I'm not telling Mr. Osborn to "shove it,"
and I'm not even sure I should quit.
Pete, I completely understand
staying there to help your aunt,
but I should say,
if May knew the only reason you're staying
at Oscorp was because of her
She'd tell me to quit. I know. [sighs]
That's why this is so difficult.
Yo, Peter, Nico, over here!
[chuckles] I brought my lunch.
You go ahead. I'll grab us a table.
-[Pearl] Hey, Petey.
-Hey, Pearl. Hey, Lonnie.
My man, Peter Parker.
Your lunch is on me today, bro.
[chuckles] What? Uh
Thank you, but there
there's no need to do that.
No, man, I got you.
I just found out from Mr. Taylor
that we aced our first lab experiment.
-No way! Really?
-Really.
Lonnie's been bragging about it
for the last hour.
It's a big deal!
The first of many A pluses
for the Lincoln-Parker dream team.
[imitates crowd cheering]
[chuckles] Well, I'm happy
that we got such a great grade,
but come on, you did more
than your fair share of the work.
Yeah, but let me treat you.
It's a huge week for us.
The Ravens dominated the Gibbons,
we're killing it in Mr. Taylor's class,
Pearl is gonna break, like,
30 records at her Swim Meet today
-[grunts]
-and you just started your internship.
You should probably just give in
and let him buy your lunch, Petey.
[chuckling] All right, you win.
But I am payin' next time.
You drive a hard bargain,
but I'll agree to that.
Oh, they're with me.
-Pearl, you and Peter go grab seats.
-Thanks, Lon.
Thanks, Lonnie.
-[beeps, buzzes]
-Declined.
[chuckles] Oh, right. I, uh I forgot
I chipped in on pizza after the game.
Oh. Um
What if I just got this?
Lonnie, where's your lunch?
You know better than to eat light
on training days.
If you want half of my sandwich, Lonnie,
go for it.
You technically own it.
-Thanks, Peter, but I'm cool.
-[phone vibrating]
Ooh. One sec.
Hey, Ma, what's up?
Wait, s slow down. Take a deep breath.
So, how's your internship going?
I bet you've already impressed them
and earned a full-time job.
No, it's kind of complicated. I mean
Hey, Pearl, uh, c could you please
give me a ride home?
Oh. Yeah, of course. Is everything okay?
I'll explain on the way. Thanks.
I'll, uh I'll talk to you later, Petey.
[chuckles]
[Nico] Don't mind if I do.
What?
-I'm like
-Ugh.
93% sure they're not coming back.
[Pearl] We're almost there, Lon.
Thank you again, Pearl. I mean it.
[chuckles] It's okay.
I've never been to your house before.
I didn't realize
you stayed so far from school.
Yeah.
This isn't how I wanted you to come over
for the first time.
[horns honking]
Thank you, Pearl.
You don't know how much I appreciate this.
I I'll call you later.
[officer] I wanna make sure
that we have the correct
-[Lonnie] Dad, is everything okay?
-Hey, Lon.
-Go sit with your mom for a bit.
-[siren wailing]
-[door closes]
-Hey, Mom, where's Dre?
In his room.
And he'll be lucky
if he ever leaves it again.
So, what happened?
I was getting ready to go
to the Laundromat,
but when I open the front door,
I find a cop walking up with your brother.
He tells me Andre was vandalizing
a building with some hoodlums,
calling themselves [stammers]
the Hundred and Tenth Street Gang.
-What?
-A gang!
Since when is Dre hangin' out with a gang?
[Mrs. Lincoln]
That's what I'd like to know.
[sobbing]
Lonnie, when I opened the door
and saw that police officer,
my heart dropped,
and when I saw Andre
standing next to him, I
I didn't know whether to be relieved
-or more afraid. [sobs]
-[sighs, breathes deeply]
Dre! Yo, Dre! [grunts]
[panting]
[suspenseful music playing]
[horns honking]
[sighs] Damn!
[salesman] As requested, I present
the most valuable rings in our collection.
When it comes to love, [chuckles]
I believe you should spare no expense.
Oh, yeah. We couldn't agree more.
Isn't that right, honey?
Yeah. In fact, we might just take 'em all.
[Maria and James chuckle]
[tense music playing]
-[whirring]
-[electricity crackling]
[sinister music playing]
-[loud thud]
-[crowd exclaims]
-[groans]
-[car siren blaring]
[camera clicking]
[chuckles] This is pretty cool.
I bet Uncle Ben would flip
if he knew I was gettin' pics
on his camera
-from all the way up here.
-[beeps]
-[chuckles]
-[horns honking]
[emotional music playing]
[sighs]
-[siren wailing]
-[gasps] Uh-oh.
[dispatcher] Backup at jewelry store
on Lexington Avenue.
Repeat. Two suspects armed and dangerous.
[Spider-Man] Okay, Spidey,
no time to waste.
[heroic music playing]
[tense music playing]
[crowd chattering]
[gasping]
That's the problem with you guys
You never know when to quit.
-[whirring]
-[electricity crackling]
[exclaims, groans]
[Spider-Man] Aw, look at you two
finishing each other's sentences.
It'd be cute if you weren't
violently attacking people.
I'll tell you what,
you guys surrender peacefully,
and I will ask the cops
to give you adjoining cells. Deal?
-[grunting]
-I'll have you out in a sec, babe.
[laughs] Yeah, sorry, miss,
but you can't tear those webs.
[whirring, crackling]
-Holy
-[tense music plays]
Are you one of those CrossFit people?
[chuckles] I'm gonna rip him apart.
Don't take too long.
We got other places to hit.
[James] I hear ya.
Try that little web trick again,
now that I'm ready for ya.
-Well, since you asked so nicely
-[whirring]
-[whooshes]
-What the
[whooshing]
-[chuckles]
-[crowd gasping]
-Hey! [groans]
-[Spider-Man] Oh, sorry!
[whirring]
Eyes on me, Bug Boy!
[grunts]
[yelling]
[Spider-Man] You brought a knife
to a web fight?
[chuckles] That's Well,
that's actually really smart.
[grunting]
[exclaims]
I probably should have prepared
for something like that.
-[people screaming]
-[groans]
You guys are totally, like, couple goals.
What dating app did you meet on? Burglr?
[both grunting]
[helicopter hovering]
[Spider-Man gasps]
Time out!
[whirring]
Okay, time in!
[grunts]
-[creaking]
-[crowd shouting]
Oh, no!
That was close. [straining]
[both] Gotcha!
-[James] You're dead!
-[Spider-Man] Huh?
[groans]
[coughs]
-[groans weakly]
-[Maria] What's the matter, Bug Boy?
Yeah, where's all the jokes now?
[party music playing distantly]
[rap music playing, T. Flex "Lotto"]
[Lonnie] Andre!
What the hell are you thinkin'?
Yo, calm down, Lonnie.
Are you kidding me?
You got Mom at home worried sick,
and you're telling me to calm down?
You're lucky I'm not dragging
you out by your neck.
Man, how'd you even find me?
Uh, you're on a family plan, genius.
I can track your phone.
-Now come on!
-[thug 1] Seriously? A family plan?
-[all laughing]
-[thug 2] Go home, junior.
[scoffs] All right, man. Damn.
Hey, we're leavin'.
We don't want any problems.
[man] Neither do we.
But it looks like we got one.
[both gasp]
I mean, you so rudely
walked into my establishment
without so much as an introduction,
but I'm a gracious host,
so I'll start things off.
I'm Big Donovan.
Leader of the One Hundred
and Tenth street gang.
-Lonnie. Lonnie Linc
-Oh, I know damn well who you are, kid.
-[breathes deeply]
-You're the talk of Harlem, see.
You're NFL bound. Hell.
I've made a couple stacks
off of the Ravens myself, Lincoln.
-[thugs laughing]
-[tense music playing]
Yeah, but despite me knowing who you are,
I'm not gonna let you walk outta here
with one of my people.
This isn't one of your people.
That's my little brother,
and he's not stayin' here.
See, now that's where you wrong.
Dre came to us.
He's our little brother now,
-and nobody leaves this family.
-[thugs agreeing]
Well, not the way they'd like to.
Look, man, he already got picked up
by the cops once.
He's no good for you.
We don't have to make a thing out of this.
Sorry, Superstar. It's not that easy.
[gasps]
[sighs]
Fine.
Me for my brother.
-Lonnie.
-I join your group and do what you want.
You leave my brother alone.
Hmm. All right. Can't lie.
It's a hell of a trade up.
Lonnie, that's that's crazy. Okay?
-Mom and Dad are gonna flip out if
-[Big Donovan] Hey, kid.
The grown-ups are talking.
How about you go on home?
I'm not goin' anywhere
without my brother
You heard him, Dre.
Go home.
[tense music swells]
[groans]
[groans]
[groans] Hospital, please.
-So much for Bug Boy.
-[sirens wailing]
[officer 1] Shields up!
[officer 2] Hold the line!
[officer 3] Surrender!
You have nowhere to go!
Yeah? We'll see about that.
-You ready to finish this, babe?
-Oh, yeah.
[whirring]
[groans]
-[whirring, whooshes]
-[intense music playing]
-[officer 3] Keep shooting!
-[whirs]
Huh? [groans]
[officers groan]
-[grunts]
-[officer 3 groans]
-[officer] Fall back!
-[crowd shouting]
[Norman on comms] Spider-Man!
Spider-Man, can you hear me?
[Spider-Man weakly] Hello?
God?
It's me. Spidey.
[Norman] Spider-Man, it's Norman.
Mr. Osborn, how Where are you?
I'm in my office.
I saw a stream online
of your current predicament,
-and I figured I could help.
-Well, uh, thanks. But why can I hear you?
I used one of the Oscorp
communication satellites
to hack into your phone and scanner.
-[beeping]
-Oh.
Well, that's kind of creepy, but, uh
We'll discuss it later.
Now, I've noticed that your opponents
are giving one another a wide berth.
-Strange, right?
-[Spider-Man] Yeah,
it is a little weird
considering all the PDA.
That means the tech
they're using must be new.
They aren't fully used to it.
Which means
they're liable to make mistakes.
[Norman] The speed boots.
Nothing can go that fast without some kind
of signal when it goes into overdrive.
Try listening out for that, Peter.
Right. Can do, Mr. Osborn.
[grunts] Okay!
Spider-Man versus Bonnie and Clyde.
Round two.
Oh. [chuckles] Ding-ding.
[powering up]
[whirs, warbles]
Now!
[grunts]
[whooshes]
Huh?
[chuckles] I dodged him!
Wow. Hey, buddy, you call that fast?
You know, my old Spider-Granny
-can run faster than you!
-[growls]
-[whirs]
-[grunts]
Oh, crap.
[intense music playing]
Ah, will you just kill him already?
[panting]
[whirring]
Please work. Please work.
Please work. Please work!
[heroic music playing]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
-[groaning]
-[gasps]
-[yelps]
-[James groaning]
[grunting] Come on
-You should've just
-[James] What are you doing?
-You gotta turn your gear off.
-[Maria] Ah! [grunts]
[both groaning]
-[Maria] I can't reach the button.
-[James] Are you serious?
[Maria] Don't yell at me!
This is your fault!
-[whooshing]
-[both screaming]
-[screaming continuing]
-[electricity crackling]
Huh? Wow.
[both screaming]
-[electricity crackling]
-[devices powering down]
[both panting]
Oops.
-My mother was right about you.
-[sirens wailing]
-[officers] Freeze!
-[officer 1] Don't move!
[officer 2] Suspects apprehended. Got 'em.
-[officer 3] We need crowd control!
-Huh.
[Spider-Man] That's the same symbol
I saw on old hothead's flamethrowers.
[whimsical music playing]
-[Spider-Man] Thanks for your help there!
-Oh, my Go Oh!
What are you doing up there?
-Don't scare me like that. Jeez.
-[Spider-Man] Oh, my gosh.
Mr. Osborn, sorry.
I didn't mean to
Yeah. Now that I think about it,
that was pretty dumb.
Are you okay?
[chuckles] Yes. Yes. I'm fine.
And I was happy to help you.
Uh, between us,
it looks as if you needed it.
I mean, I would have [chuckles]
figured it out eventually.
It's, you know Okay.
No, I definitely needed the help.
[chuckling]
[chuckling]
Um, actually, I've been thinking over
your offer, Mr. Osborn.
If tonight proved anything,
it's that maybe
I do need someone in my corner.
Well, I'd be happy to offer you
any help you need,
but, of course, I respect your wishes,
and it's your choice to make.
Yeah, and I've made my choice.
Welcome to the team, Mr. Osborn.
-Welcome to the One Ten, Lonnie Lincoln.
-[sinister music playing]
[thug] Mm-hmm.
[sinister music swells]
[closing theme music playing]
