00:03Someone once asked me what universe this was, strange question that stuck with me all these
00:09years later. All I could say for sure was it was the only one I knew of, and that was
00:15as true then as it is now. Am I an extraordinary man? Yes. Am I an ordinary man? Yes. I'm
00:26both. I'm neither. But aren't we all? New York. I grew up in this city. I learned to fight
00:39in this city. And I fell in love in this city. A mistake I'll never make again. I used to
00:53be the Spider. This city's hero. Always on guard. Always ready to swoop in and save the day.
01:14That ended when Ruby died.
01:28We were going to be married in the spring. I even bought a ring to make it official.
01:33A ring I never had the chance to give her. Ruby once told me that with great power comes
01:47great responsibility. Well, she was the greatest responsibility I ever had. And I failed her.
02:00After that, I didn't want the power or the responsibility. So I went back to being just an ordinary man.
02:25What do you think?
02:30I think you got a bingo. Say, you're kinda handsome. Now I'm questioning your eyesight.
02:37Funny, too. So you got a wife? No. Shame. I got a husband.
02:43Not that it's ever stopped me from having a good time. Know what I mean?
02:46You got a decent idea. When your husband gets the same idea, tell him to give me a call.
02:52Okay.
02:57Excuse me, sir! Sir!
02:59I got your head. Thank you.
03:02You keep following me, it won't end the way you want it to.
03:06It never does.
03:09Addison!
03:09No!
03:11No!
03:29Sorry, pal.
03:30Hey! Don't do it, Addison. I'm as liable to shoot you as I am to give chase.
03:38Damn it!
03:56Sir, sir, you shouldn't? You really shouldn't?
03:57Where do they go?
03:58Where do they go?
03:58Which way?
04:28To see if you are dead...
04:31You can't stop my foreign people, Addison. Now come on, let's go. It's getting late and it smells like shit
04:36back here.
04:37I tried to warn you.
04:39What?
04:42Whoah!
04:48Now you're gonna burn.
04:50Oh, man.
05:29Huh.
05:37Okay.
05:39That man was completely on fire! I've never seen such a thing.
05:43Should've known it was fishy, they offered me 50 bucks to track down to nobody.
05:46Who hired you? A guy named Winston?
05:48Yeah.
05:48Bastard only offered me 30.
05:52I need a drink. You?
05:54Sure. Nothing too fancy. All I got is three bucks.
05:57Come on, Donegal. I know a joint.
06:00Might even have a girl for you.
06:01If you like trainwrecks.
06:03Ugh. I must.
06:06Cause I keep marrying them.
06:12Morning.
06:13It was.
06:14Now it's a mediocre afternoon headed towards a lousy evening.
06:18Coffee?
06:19Got anything a little harder?
06:21That's what I keep asking my husband.
06:22You can just pour it right in.
06:24That's just it. You really can't.
06:25Any calls?
06:26Well, to receive calls, you gotta pay my bell.
06:29Till then, that's just a paperweight. How to go with Addison.
06:33Oh, well. That well, huh?
06:36Addison's dead.
06:38You?
06:38No. Some other guy. This goddamn sitter.
06:43You open?
06:44No.
06:45I tried calling, but didn't seem to go through.
06:47Mr. Riley believes that business is better connected face to face.
06:50Wouldn't you agree, Mr.
06:52Carmody?
06:53Right this way, Mr. Carmody.
06:55It's about my wife.
07:06You a rich man, Mr. Carmody?
07:09No. Not particularly.
07:11Possessed of a keen wit, then.
07:14Huh?
07:17Look, I heard my wife on the phone this afternoon.
07:19She's gonna meet the so-and-so at eight o'clock tonight.
07:22I haven't got the address. Look, look, look.
07:24I do love a client who comes prepared.
07:26So you'll do it. You'll take the case.
07:28Okay, Carmody. My rate's $10 a day, plus-
07:30But you'll get pictures, right?
07:32Because without pictures, it's basically just a he-said-she-said situation.
07:36I'm sure your suspicions aren't founded, Mr. Carmody, but if it comes to it, don't you fret.
07:39Benson is a photographer.
07:40Never miss a shot.
07:44$10 a day.
07:45Plus expenses.
07:47Jan, I'll get your info in a small retainer.
07:49Come back the day after tomorrow, and I'll give you what you want.
07:55Come on, Mr. Carmody, let's get that info in the retainer, huh?
08:01Explosion in Standard Oil! Read all about it!
08:05Explosion in Standard Oil!
08:08Explosion in Standard Oil!
08:10Explosion in Standard Oil!
08:24Sorry, I'm late. Let's tell you something story.
08:27Some other mobster is finally making a move on Silvermane.
08:31Turned down his mansion a couple of nights ago, killed six of his men, and somehow the old bastard escaped.
08:37I think Finn Byrne likes being called Silvermane.
08:39Thinks it speaks to gravitas and longevity.
08:43I would get that rich. You call me anything you want.
08:44That's a used pickle.
08:48What you're hiding over there, another cheating spouse?
08:52Thought you said you weren't going to take those anymore.
08:53I haven't paid Janet in months. Beggars can't be choosers.
08:56Says the man who has chosen to be a beggar, for Christ's sakes, man.
08:59Probably not today, okay? Not again.
09:02Have you seen it out there?
09:04The city's a mess.
09:06Ever since the spider disappeared, Silvermane's got the city by the throat.
09:10Crime is out of control and the police are completely in his pocket.
09:14Now the people, the people could use a hero.
09:21Well, I hope they find someone.
09:23You used to be.
09:24I know who I used to be.
09:28And I know who I am now.
09:31There's always going to be another Silvermane, Robbie.
09:34No point in fighting it.
09:36I can't help but wonder what Ruby would think if she heard you talking like that.
09:50Ruby's been dead a long time.
09:54I don't care what you think anymore.
10:02Hey, Frankie, you're out early today.
10:05Hey, Riley, how you doing?
10:09You know, I've been practicing my pocket tricks.
10:11Oh, yeah? How's that going?
10:14So me.
10:19James, huh?
10:20What would you know?
10:21Lots. Who has me on these years?
10:23Lots like that. Maybe think about going to school.
10:25Who needs it? A plus B plus C.
10:26Don't do math with letters, kid.
10:29Donagle, Riley.
10:30Listen, I think we should talk about last night.
10:33So what's this proposition you got for me?
10:36You left a man dead last night.
10:37Feels like that could be trouble coming down the tracks or an opportunity worth pursuing.
10:41Either way, I think we should know more about who hired us and why they wanted him so bad.
10:48So you got a plan.
10:50Kinda.
10:51Can you be sober by 9 a.m.?
10:53Come on.
10:53Oh, hi, handsome.
10:54Long time to see you.
10:57By the morning?
10:59Sure.
11:01It's the evening edition.
11:03Silvermane survives in skivvies.
11:05Thank you, sir.
11:06Hot off the presses.
11:08Silvermane survives in skivvies.
11:10Ever since the spider disappeared, Silvermane has had a chokehold on this city, murdering anyone that gets in his way.
11:18But one brave soul tried to free us from the mobster's reign of terror, setting fire to Silvermane's mansion while
11:24he was asleep upstairs.
11:25But he failed to kill the old bastard, so brace yourself for a bloody rampage from Silvermane and his ghouls.
11:31If only the spider were here to save us from the madness.
11:35Damn, Robbie.
11:37Give it a rest, would ya?
11:54Give it a rest.
12:14Evening, sir.
12:15How can I help you?
12:16I got a delivery for Boris Karloff.
12:19Sorry, but Karloff don't give you...
12:21Oh, sure he does.
12:22Might be listed under his stage name.
12:24Uh, Stein.
12:26Frank.
12:27And Stein.
12:31All right.
12:32Don't bother.
12:33I'll see myself now.
13:04I'll see you next time.
13:12I'll see you next time.
13:23What do you want?
13:46Get off of me!
13:48Come here!
13:54What the hell?
14:11Here, darling.
14:12We're late.
14:13Let's go.
14:19Morning, Winston.
14:20Care for a cup of coffee or maybe some tea?
14:22Or do you just want to order both and see which one comes first?
14:25Save your breath, Riley.
14:26You told me you know where Addison is, so take your money and talk.
14:30Actually, the price has gone up.
14:32Excuse me?
14:33The other PI you hired told me you offered him 50, so I'm not telling you for a penny less
14:37than 200.
14:38It's cute.
14:40But give me one good reason I shouldn't plug you.
14:44How about 38 reasons?
14:46It's actually a 32, but I doubt your organs will know the difference.
14:50Now, a guy like you in a suit like that, you didn't cook this up on your own.
14:54So, why don't you go back to whoever it is that sent you and find me $200.
14:58And then I'll tell you where Addison is.
15:00I'll keep the 30 as a tip.
15:03Janet will keep the 30 as a tip.
15:06Cute.
15:08Real cute.
15:38I'll keep the 30 as soon as I'm going to get you.
15:48Oh, my God.
16:11Funny, the guy burns down my house, tries to kill me, makes me feel young again.
16:18Did Riley tell you where Addison is?
16:21I'm shakedown.
16:22He won't tell me where Addison is unless he gets more cash.
16:25I am whatever he wants.
16:27The boys are convinced Addison's got some kind of powers.
16:34If he does, I want to talk to him.
16:36Do whatever it takes.
16:39Find Addison.
16:45Hot damn, can you believe our luck?
16:48Sadly, yes.
16:49Stepping into a steaming pile of dog shit is kind of my specialty.
16:53Are you daft?
16:54Where's the deepest pockets in New York?
16:55We're the only ones who know Addison's dead.
16:57We could ask for a thousand of them.
16:58Take down, Silvermane?
16:59It's an idea.
17:00Thing is, I've got this crazy preference for being alive.
17:03You do what you want.
17:04I'm leaving this one alone.
17:04You're a coward, Riley.
17:06Fortune favors the bold.
17:08Look how poor I am.
17:14I'm in here.
17:18How'd that go?
17:19Dead end.
17:20How about this?
17:21Uh, interesting.
17:23You've got some great shots.
17:25I can't resist.
17:28I do have one question, though.
17:30Am I crazy, or is that the goddamn mayor of New York?
17:35I believe in you, the hard-working man trying to earn a decent living.
17:40I believe in you, the dedicated woman.
17:43Our city has hit hard times.
17:45We've lost our heroes.
17:47It feels like no one is coming to help us.
17:50But I believe we can be our own heroes.
17:52You sure she didn't meet up with anybody?
17:54Like I said, your wife was alone the entire night.
17:58What about 8 p.m.?
17:59The Red Cliff, what was that all about?
18:01Come on, Carmody, smile.
18:02This is great news.
18:03I know.
18:04I get it.
18:06Marriage can be a terrifying endeavor.
18:07Open yourself up to another person like that.
18:10Making yourself vulnerable.
18:11I don't even feel good about taking your money.
18:13Really?
18:13Yeah.
18:14Go home, Carmody.
18:15You have a beautiful and loyal wife.
18:18You know how loyal she is.
18:21You're a very lucky man.
18:22Now go home.
18:25We needed that money.
18:27I don't know if you're aware, but there's a depression going on.
18:30I'm aware, but whatever that was, I want nothing to do with it.
18:33Who do you think he was?
18:34Oh, no.
18:34Someone trying to smear the mayor.
18:36And that woman.
18:37She's not Mrs. Carmody.
18:38Then who the hell is she?
18:39The only thing I can say with any certainty is she isn't married to that syphilitic walrus.
18:50Another headache, huh?
18:51That six cents thing?
18:53You should listen to it.
18:54As long as I've known you.
18:55It's never steered you wrong.
18:56I'd love to.
18:57Trouble is I'm not currently sure what it's trying to tell me.
18:59Hang on.
19:01Oh, I can hear it.
19:03It's saying pay your secretary.
19:06Except you can't because you just gave away the only money we've made all month.
19:09You're at the top of my list.
19:10Yeah, you better do something about it soon.
19:12I just interviewed for a sales position at Gimbel's.
19:15Blame my husband.
19:16He has this annoying habit of demanding food on a daily basis.
19:22What about selling the photographs to the woman?
19:25You want to steer clear of the mayor?
19:26That's fine.
19:27But maybe there's still some cash to be had.
19:31Blackmail, huh?
19:32It's not a terrible idea.
19:34It's not a good idea, but it's not a terrible idea.
19:37Yeah, I'll shake you not.
19:39She had me covered in whipped cream all the way up to here.
19:41It was obvious you'd do anything to get the story.
19:44Jesus, you look like shit.
19:46More than usual is what I'm saying.
19:47Nice to see you too.
19:49What's so important that you couldn't wait until I was back downtown?
19:51Any chance you know who this is?
19:54You must be joking.
19:55Oh, that's Cat Hardy.
19:57Back in the day, you wouldn't have had to ask.
20:01Five minutes.
20:02Four or three.
20:05What are you looking for, anyway?
20:07Some poor sap got knocked off a few nights ago.
20:10Friend gave me a tip something's off with the body.
20:12Might be a story in it.
20:15Say, you might want to look away.
20:17Any idea where I can find this Cat Hardy lady?
20:21Oh, yeah.
20:22Now, she is the star attraction over at the alcove.
20:27Huh.
20:28That is weird.
20:30Say, does this look like a guy who died in a fire to you?
20:34No, but he sure as hell did.
20:36I was there.
20:39And?
20:40They ID him yet?
20:42James Addison.
20:43Shit.
20:44So if they know, the cops will know,
20:45and then Silverman will know that Donegal was trying to rip him off.
20:48Do me a favor.
20:49Hold off on Penny then.
20:50I want to warn a friend before he gets himself killed.
20:54What?
20:55It's just a migraine.
20:56It's just a migraine.
21:02What's going on, Ben?
21:03Does this guy have superpowers?
21:08Is he like you?
21:10Forget about it, Robbie.
21:13I'm dead.
21:16Did Don't we'll say when he'll be back?
21:17He didn't say shit.
21:19So I pulled the other fellas, and that's what I'm telling you.
21:21If he comes in, tell him to meet Ben Reilly at the alcove, 9 p.m.
21:24Tell him it's important.
21:47Old-fashioned.
22:05Ladies and gentlemen, Kat Hardy.
22:14Stars shining black above you, night breezes seem to whisper, I love you.
22:30Birds singing in the sycamore trees, dream a little dream of me.
22:48Say nighty-night and kiss me.
22:54Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me.
22:59While I'm alone and blue as can be.
23:04Dream a little dream of me.
23:09Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you.
23:14Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
23:19But in your dreams, whatever they be.
23:23Dream a little dream only.
23:28We're to past ten and we're laughing.
23:30It's the past tense of a daydream.
23:33We'll go dancing under less ten.
23:35And it's past tense when we say things.
23:37From the dead of night till the morning dew.
23:39From the black and white till the colorful.
23:41If I'm not, they might fail.
23:43Dream me in a bone, make me beautiful.
23:45So we've been spinning in the usual.
23:53But this death of you, this delusional.
24:01Dream of me, dream of me.
24:04Till I'm everything you will see.
24:08Dream of me, dream of me.
24:13Till it's reality.
24:15Don't dream too late.
24:18Just dream a little dream of me.
24:22I wonder if I'm a little dream of me.
24:25Just a little tiny dream.
24:28A little dream of me.
24:31I wonder if I'm a little dream of me.
25:01Where the hell are you at?
25:03Wake him up!
25:08I ain't gonna be so easy.
25:11He's dead.
25:14Told you I'd kill her right.
25:28Sorry, boss.
25:31What?
25:34Even, friend.
25:36I'm not interested in revenge or retribution,
25:39so I'm going to make this quick, okay?
25:45Down there, there's nothing to cry about.
25:48I'd just like to hear where Addison is.
25:54Do you know?
25:57Do you know?
25:58No.
26:00I shot him dead.
26:02He had some kind of crazy power as he burst into flames.
26:07And what about the name of the man who ordered Addison to kill me?
26:12I don't know.
26:14I don't know.
26:15Fair enough.
26:20It's all over.
26:22It's done.
26:38Go to the morgue.
26:40Make sure Addison is really dead.
26:43Bring me the other private dick.
26:44Riley.
26:45You don't know any more than this guy.
26:47He's got nothing to worry about, Andrews.
26:59Do you mind?
27:02Please.
27:05I loved your performance.
27:07Thanks, Dal.
27:08Is there somewhere we can talk?
27:10Here suits me.
27:12It's business.
27:13I wasn't aware we had any, Mr.
27:15Riley.
27:16The concerns you've tripped to the Red Cliff last night.
27:19Flint?
27:21I'm trying to help you.
27:23Mr. Riley, I'd like you to meet my friend Flint Marco.
27:26He's-
27:26A gorilla.
27:27Do you mind?
27:29Slowly.
27:30The ape speaks.
27:31Incredible.
27:32I thought you might find that useful.
27:35Everything okay, Miss Hody?
27:36Yes.
27:37Mr. Riley's a very nice man, but he was just about to leave.
27:40Who told you that?
27:40That you were leaving?
27:41Nice.
27:42Just a hunch.
27:44Maybe you can confirm it by leaving without messing up Flint's tie.
27:46He really struggles with the double Windsor, and I just painted my nails.
27:49Sharpen him, too.
27:51And don't trouble yourself, Flint.
27:52I'm happy to make my exit without either of your fists busting my eye sockets.
27:56Um, take another look at that, and perhaps tomorrow we can discuss the price of the negatives over lunch.
28:01I might even pay, seeing as I'm such a nice guy.
28:05I suppose you think you're pretty clever.
28:07Well, actually, most days I think I should just stick my head in the oven and get it over with.
28:11What's stopping you?
28:12Simple.
28:12I'm a coward.
28:27Spare some change for a hungry orphan boy?
28:29You got a tail, white suit?
28:31Sure do, mister.
28:32Thanks.
28:34Thanks.
28:34Oh, my God.
29:06Oh, my God.
29:34I like those negatives, please.
29:36Cutting right to it, huh?
29:40You don't even want to catch your breath?
29:43Mister, despite what I do for a living, I really don't enjoy hurting people.
29:47Then don't.
29:48I know a terrific hamburger joint.
29:50Open all night.
29:51Let's sit.
29:51Talk it over.
29:53So you're not hungry.
29:55How about a drink?
29:56Last chance.
29:58Opium.
30:04Why be stubborn?
30:05One way or another, you're going to give me those negatives.
30:08It doesn't have to be like this.
30:10You're right.
30:10You can stop punching me.
30:14The negatives are dropping.
30:19Well, the thing is, I'm not really scared of heights.
30:22I'm not really scared of heights.
30:23Oh, thanks.
30:25Oh, my God.
30:59Oh, my God.
31:27Oh, my God.
32:11Oh, my God.
32:46Oh, my God.
32:51Oh, my God.
32:57Don't hurt him.
32:59Where am I?
