Spiderman Series 1 Episode 1
New york city…if only everthing down there was really as peaceful as it looks from up here.
Yeah hold it right there,
Yeah like I was saying you're gonna love working down here it's cool in the summer and warm in the winter and no office politics
Sounds better than my last job, I was in the television business
TV? Really? Hey my old TV gets these double images, know what I mean? Hey maybe you could err….
No, I was a TV executive.
Ohhh, ah you're better off down here.
Holy…!
He's got me! Help!
Oh God! There after me!
What's this? Another satisfied graduate of the New York City cab driving academy?
Hit the brake! Turn!
What was that all about?
Red eyes… Red eyes after me
Aha and did they belong to little pink elephants?
No Mr it was real I swear!
Yeah alright fine. Just don't let the cops blame this one on me ok?
Red eyes..Red eyes…
Sure pal whatever you say, New York City. Never a dull moment. Well, I guess it all goes with the job.
Peter? I have a new job for you. You've always gotten good shots of spiderman right? Lets see what you cand o with the Lizard.
The Who?
The Lizard Parker! If you'd ever get here on time maybe you'd know what was going on.
There've been reports of a giant Lizard down in the subways.
In this town who'd notice?
I'd notice. If this weren't serious Parker I wouldn't have gotten the assignment.
I dunno about that Brock you're just the reporter I'd send on a wild goose chase
Its not a wild goose chase smart mouth. Look subway repairman..missing. His friend says the Lizard got him.
Boss I got those names of the scientists who've worked with reptiles.
Good then you can interview ‘em for background.
Right closest ones at Empire State..name's Connors.
Dr. Kurt Connors?
You know him Peter?
He's one of my teachers Mr.Robinson. He's an expert in recombinant DNA and reptile mutagenics. He's also a genius.
Yeah, yeah, yeah whatever. You'll be the contact with Connors from now on kid.
But Boss?
The kid already knows him and besides do you have any idea what muto-wotsiits are?
Mr'Jameson I still think this whole Lizard thing is just a big hoax.
Parker, the first one to get a photo of the Lizard for my nightly news gets a thousand dollar bonus.
Ah colour or black and white?
A thousand dollars?! I could put it down on a new motorcycle. Maybe a car, wait ‘til I tell Aunt May!
Hey pretty lady, why the frown?
Nothing Peter, nothing at all I just can't decide what to make for dinner that's all.
Why does she always keep things from me. Look at these bills! And here I am thinking of things to buy for myself, she's been like a mother to me for years. It's time I paid here back and if I can't..
“It's a thousand dollar bonus”
Spiderman will!
Just once I want an assignment in some place sunny suburb, well anyway this Lizard thing is probably just an urban myth.
Wait a minute it looks like I was ‘Myth-taken'!
Peter, not Deborah Winkman, the little sister I never had, or wanted.
Since when do you have nightclass, in fact I've always though of you as having no class at all..
Nyuk Nyuk. It just so happens I've got something to show Doc Connors.
Oh really? What?
None of your – Hey!
Hmm. That's interesting…Obviously reptilian of the Sclamata order but look at the imprint left by the heel…
It's an imprint. So…
Yes but look how deep it is… a lot of weigh on it.
Well maybe it's a very fat Sclamata
Or maybe Peter it walks on two legs
I knew that.
You didn't
Shh! Something's wrong!
You're darn right! You were suffocating me!
Nice time for a brown out eh?
Yeah..No kidding. The storm must be causing it.
Who's there? Who is it?
No stay away!
Dr. Connors?
What's wrong?
No! Deborah wait!
It sounds like he needs help!
Peter!
Deborah! Are you alright?
I got the wind knocked out of me.
What's that thing done to Doc Connors? Stop! Come back!
Peter don't leave me here alone!
It's alright, everything's ok now…
Oh you were downright brave back there. It was quite a surprise.
Why Miss Whitman is that a compliment? From you?
Don't push your luck! Peter… What was that thing? And why would it kidnap Dr. Connors?
Dr. Connors I'm ready to proceed. Temperature Alpha, respiration Alpha, life signs all register normal Dr. Connors. If I'm right Mickey here is better than normal. Look! There it is a reptile's ability to grow a new limb in a mammal! And all because of a couple of micrograms of Reptile DNA and the neogenic recombinator.
Incredible!
No Peter, this is just the beginning. When we do the same for human beings we can replace limbs lost in accidents or during a war. That would be incredible.
Why would wnybody wanna kidnap Doc Connors?
Mommy, is Daddy coming home?
I don't know Billy I…Ahhhhhh!
Stay away! Leave us alone!
Easy Mrs. Connors! I'm only looking for the Professor.
No! I won't let you hurt my husband!
No!! No! NO! Please!
You're for real! Just hold that pose smiley!
No Daddy stop!
Erggh. Daddy? Did I hear right? Did he say Daddy?
Yes. Yes that was Kurt. It all started with a device. Kurt called it the neogenic recombinator. He used it on himself as an experiment to make his
