Spider-Man

New York City.

If only everything 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 uh, no office politics.

That sounds better than my last job, I was in the television business.

TV?! Really!

Hey, my old TV gets these double images, you know what I mean?

Hey maybe you could...

No, I was a TV executive.

Oh, hey you're better off down here.

Holy...

Wait it's got me! What?! Help!

Help!

Those eyes, they're after me!

What's this?!

Another satisfied graduated

of the New York City cab driving academy?

Hit the brake!

Turn! Turn!

s01ep01 - Night of the Lizard

What was that all about?

The red eyes! The red eyes they're after me!

Uh-uh... And did they belong to little pink elephants?

No. Mister it was real! It was real! I swear!

Yeah alright, fine!

Just don't let the cops blame this one on me okay?

The red eyes... The red eyes!

Sure pal, whatever you say!

New York City, never a dull moment!

Well, guess it all goes with the job.

Peter, I have a new job for you.

You've always gotten good shots of Spiderman, right?

Let's see what you can do 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 don't know about that Brock,

you're just a reporter I'd send in a wild goose chase.

It's not a wild goose chase, smart mouth.

Look. Subway repairman. Missing.

His friend says the Lizard got him.

Boss, I've got those names for the scientists who've worked with reptiles.

Good. Then you can interview them for background.

Right. Closest one is at Empire State. Name's Connors.

- Doctor Curt Connors? - You know him Peter?

He's one of my teachers Mr. Robertson.

He's an expert in recombining DNA and reptile mutagenics.

He's also a genius!

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 mutawhat's-it's are?

Uh...

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.

Uh, 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 her back. And if I can't.

It's a thousand dollar bonus.

Spiderman will.

Just once I want an assignment in some nice sunny suburb.

Huh anyway this lizard-thing is probably just an urban myth.

Wait a minute! Looks like I was myth-taken !

- Peter! - Oh no. Not Deborah Whitman!

The little sister I never had... or wanted.

Since when do you have night class?

In fact I've always thought 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!

Hmmm... Well that's interesting.

Obviously a reptilian of the Squamata order.

But, look at the imprint left by the heel!

It's an imprint. So?

Yes, but look how deep it is!

Lot of weight on it.

Well, maybe it's a very fat squamata!

Or maybe Peter, it walks on two legs!

- I knew that! - You didn't... Hmph!

Shhh.

Something's wrong.

You're darn right,

you were suffocating me!

- Nice time for a brownout, eh? - Uhh, 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! - But it sounds like he needs help.

Aaaaah!

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 okay now

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.

Hmm.

Look! Look! There it is!

A reptile's ability to grow a new limb... in a mammal !

All because of a couple of micrograms of reptile DNA,

and a neogenic recombinator!

- Incredible! - No, Peter,

this is just the beginning.

When we do the same for human beings when we can replace limbs

lost in accidents or during a war.

That would be incredible.

Why would anybody want to kidnap Dr. Connors?

Mommy? Is daddy coming home?

I don't know, Billy, I... Aaaaah!

Stay away! Leave us alone!

Easy, Mrs. Connors! I'm looking for the professor.

- No! I won't let you hurt my husband! - Hurt him? I...

Noooo!

No! No! Please!

You're for real! Just hold that pose, Smiley!

Whoa!

Great, there goes my 1000 dollar photo!

Bah. When am I gonna get the hang of being a super-hero and

a photographer at the same time?
