00:05You turn the tables on me
00:11And now I'm falling for you from the room
00:16You turn the tables on me
00:21I can't believe that it's true
00:26I'll clear up
00:32So?
00:34So yourself?
00:35We're about to turn over the pies
00:37This one's on the house
00:39What? More of a blueberry guy?
00:42No, there's just not a lot of free stuff going around these days
00:45Thank you, very kind
00:50I'm waiting, you know
00:53You already know how it ends
00:54Well then, let's start from the beginning
01:02You were sent to liberate a small town in eastern France
01:05The Germans weren't so keen on giving it up
01:11Hold it, let's do this
01:15That's the very small town in here
01:18Hold it
01:19Hold it
01:19Hold it
01:21Hold it
01:23Hold it
01:23Hold it
01:24No
01:30Hold it
01:31Stand through
01:34Boom
01:36Oh, my God.
02:10Jones! Jones! Get him out!
02:19If I was the one who had been shot, and I almost was, none of this would have happened to
02:25me.
02:26I think about that a lot.
02:38Private Smith and I pressed deeper into the compound.
02:46Jesus. Let's get him out of here.
03:14You okay, pal? I'm gonna get you out of here.
03:25Oh, my God.
03:46What do we do?
03:47Burn it.
03:48Burn it all!
04:08And that was it?
04:09After that you were...
04:15Yes.
04:18It took some time at first just to relearn how to be more human again.
04:23Believe it or not, I went to the movies, I watched the actors, I studied the way they spoke, the
04:30way they moved.
04:34The arachnid genes are still in me.
04:37The ticks and the thoughts and impulses.
04:43But I managed to suppress them.
04:48Most of the time.
04:51You once told me you were a coward.
04:54And to think I almost believed you.
05:00If Flint was there, his powers must have come from the same place.
05:04Hard to think otherwise.
05:05Is that the real reason you took the case?
05:07Yes.
05:08In part, but yes.
05:09I did it because I wanted to learn something from Flint.
05:12If something gave both of us these powers, maybe something could take him back.
05:17Would you really want that?
05:19Lose all your powers?
05:21Go back to being just...
05:23Ben Reilly?
05:26Since Ruby died, that's all I've thought about.
05:29Being just Ben Reilly.
05:35You want to go off me?
05:45Thank you, Phil.
05:48You said he's an actor.
05:50You can call him Star Man.
05:52An aspiring actor. Still working his day job as a subway driver.
05:55Subway driver? It's almost too good.
05:59That conductor.
06:02It's electricity. He's a conductor.
06:04Oh, no. The issue wasn't one of comprehension.
06:07You got photos?
06:09What do you think?
06:10Yep.
06:11I'll let the bugle publish my story on one condition.
06:14You'll let?
06:18Calm down.
06:22What's the condition?
06:24You run my piece as is, or not at all.
06:27No, I need your word, Walters. No changes.
06:30Unless, of course, you'd rather I take this to the Herald.
06:33You got a lot of nerve telling me how to do my job.
06:36What is that?
06:38Fine, sure. Whatever you want.
06:41And I want the bugle to print a retraction about Lonnie Lincoln and Flint Marco.
06:45That's two conditions. Anything else?
06:47Well, now that you mention it.
07:08Good to be back.
07:10Come back.
07:22Oh, my God.
07:46Good to see you, too.
07:52So the prodigal son returned home, huh?
07:55Guess Silverman took you back with open arms.
07:56You can say what you want about him.
07:58That man takes care of his own.
07:59One big, happy family.
08:02There's room for one more, brother.
08:04No offense, but I'm done putting my life in a life of a white man.
08:10It won't be like that, Lonnie.
08:13No?
08:14Well, what then?
08:16Silverman may want me to do his laundry, or maybe he wants me to perform.
08:19The little hand bone.
08:20You can't live like this forever, Lonnie.
08:21Buddy, with whatever's happening inside us, I'm not too worried about living forever.
08:24All the more reason we need to take what we can while we can.
08:27I'm not a criminal.
08:28Why don't you tell that to the mayor or the cops?
08:30Take your back.
08:31We wanted men, whether we like it or not.
08:33Do you think that's new to me?
08:34That's been my life.
08:36From the day I was born.
08:37Exactly.
08:38You risked your life for this country, and they still treat you like a second-class citizen.
08:41Look, you said so yourself.
08:43We ain't gonna make it to the retirement home.
08:45So let's take life by the balls, while we still have a little life left in us.
08:50Here, Silverman out.
08:52That's all I'm asking.
09:07You've been busy.
09:09Yeah, someone's got to do the work around here.
09:11Here, take a look at these.
09:12Four veterans, all from the same POW camp, all with superhuman powers.
09:16Apparently the Germans were doing experiments on them.
09:18Some kind of failed super soldier program.
09:23I'm sorry, are we boring you?
09:25The war ended 15 years ago.
09:27The question isn't what happened to them then.
09:29The question is why are they getting their powers now?
09:33That's why he does.
09:36That's why his name's on the door.
09:37I know.
09:38I didn't do my homework.
09:38Me neither.
09:39Is that supposed to mean you know something?
09:41We do.
09:42Are you gonna share it?
09:44Are you gonna be a dick about it?
09:45Yes, actually.
09:46A private dick, to be exact.
09:48Okay.
09:48They were all seeing the same doctor at the VA hospital in Queens.
09:51The doctor's been running a study for the past 10 years on POWs.
09:55According to Lonnie, it was specifically about what happened to them in France.
10:00I keep telling you you'd make an ace reporter if you ever want to ditch the sniff.
10:04I have submitted a few applications.
10:05So this doctor's our guy?
10:07She is a geneticist, Alethea Faber.
10:11One of the top in the country.
10:12Degrees from Stanford and Cornell.
10:13I mean, every athlete you could imagine.
10:15All that and she chooses to work at a VA hospital in Queens.
10:19And according to Lonnie, she sought them out nine months ago.
10:22Knew all about the camp.
10:24What the hell are we waiting for?
10:27You, asshole.
10:29We were waiting on you.
10:30Well then, let's go, Robbie.
10:31You're welcome.
10:32Don't rush me now.
10:36Lights out, boys.
10:48This place is at a cafeteria or something.
10:55Hey.
10:57Where's mine?
10:59Cut the shit, lady.
11:00We can go all night if you want to.
11:03Hey, I wonder when's the last time you said that to your wife, huh?
11:05Oh, are you?
11:06Never, I'm guessing.
11:13Do you have any cream of sugar?
11:16Yeah, I got some cream of sugar.
11:22I'm going to ask you again.
11:24Where did you and your freak show friends come from?
11:32All right.
11:34All right, I'll tell you, okay?
11:36Mm-hmm.
11:37I can't speak for the rest of them.
11:39But me?
11:41I'm from Poughkeepsie.
11:45Oh, he's mad now.
11:47Yeah, I know that look.
11:48Hey, you know, you remind me a lot of my father.
12:00Do you like this?
12:02I do.
12:06Is it too modern for my taste?
12:12Slippery son of a bitch, that spider.
12:16What's his angle, anyway?
12:18Well, I'm sure he's just trying to get by.
12:20Same as any of us.
12:22Is that what you were doing?
12:25Just trying to get by?
12:27Looks like you're doing a bit better than that.
12:29Wonder why.
12:31You feeling a little unappreciated, Finn?
12:33Well, maybe I am.
12:35Well, I give thanks every day, trust me.
12:38You know, I say a little prayer before bed and everything.
12:41Well, you ought to start saying one every morning you get to wake up.
12:46Winston isn't so lucky now, is he?
12:52There they are.
13:00I wasn't expecting you boys so soon.
13:03Lonnie, my Mr. Byrne.
13:06It's a pleasure to meet you.
13:10Flynn told me a lot about you.
13:14Welcome back.
13:16I wasn't sure what happened to you.
13:17You read the papers, don't you?
13:19He's a whole new man.
13:20You should see him when he gets going.
13:22Unstoppable.
13:23We knew right hand.
13:25Don't worry, boss.
13:27Nothing's going to happen to you on my watch.
13:29Well, then I guess congratulations on your promotion.
13:32I'm sure you'll make a wonderful couple.
13:35Don't mind her.
13:36She's full of piss and vinegar today.
13:38Alas, I have to talk business with the boys.
13:41Well, then I'll make my excuses.
13:44If there's some paint upstairs, I can watch dry.
13:46Well, if you're so bored, maybe you could find us a new band.
13:50One who knows that they're classics.
13:54And while you're at it, look into another singer.
14:00Someone young.
14:06Piss on vinegar.
14:13Hey, ma'am, how's it going?
14:17There must be some book.
14:20Is Dr. Faber in?
14:22You have an appointment?
14:25I do not.
14:27Joe Robertson, reporter with the butyl.
14:30Just want to ask her a few questions.
14:35I'll let her office know you're here.
14:36If you'd be so kind.
14:41It'll all dies in the end.
15:03There's a reporter downstairs from the Daily Bugle.
15:08Robertson.
15:09He's asking to speak with you.
15:30Mr. Robertson, I believe you're a favor.
15:34Pleasure to meet you.
15:35And you are?
15:36What exactly did you want to talk to me about?
15:38Don't suppose you saw my story in the bugle this morning.
15:42It'll just be a couple of minutes of your time.
15:44Maybe spread the word about the work you're doing.
15:46That can't be a bad thing, right?
15:48Let's speak outside.
16:15What can you tell me about those men?
16:17Unfortunately, Mr. Robertson, we sent a great many men off to that war.
16:20And almost all of them came back with injuries, either physical or screwed.
16:24It's hard to remember all the patients you've seen over the years.
16:26Well, I hope that doesn't make me sound gallows.
16:28Oh, no, no, no, no.
16:29Of course not.
16:30It also doesn't make me believe you.
16:33Are you calling her a liar?
16:34Sir, I'm sorry, sir.
16:35I still haven't called your name.
16:36This is my secretary, Ogden.
16:38He has been with me for quite some time, and he can be a bit overprotective.
16:42No, I can respect that.
16:44But you're a smart woman.
16:45You really expect me to believe you had no idea that four of your patients turned out to have superpowers.
16:56Well, why?
16:57You are obviously a very intelligent man yourself, Mr. Robertson.
17:01So you know that I'm not at liberty to discuss specific patient information with anyone but the police.
17:07Well, have you done that?
17:07Have you spoken with the police?
17:08I am sorry.
17:09I cannot help you.
17:10Hmm.
17:11Did you help those men?
17:12You know, I'm hearing their powers only started after they started seeing you.
17:19How dare you?
17:21How dare you to come here knowing nothing and then accuse me of negligence in my care?
17:27Everything I do, I do for a reason.
17:31Everything.
17:35Struck a nerve, huh?
18:04Struck a nerve, huh?
18:26So what do we do?
18:28Calm down, target.
18:30What do we do?
18:31Shut the door.
18:34He's a Negro.
18:35Maybe no one will believe him.
18:37I don't think so.
18:41Hey, Dr. Collins, where the hell have you been?
18:44I'm losing my mind back here.
18:46Hey, you're not Collins.
18:50What's going on?
18:51No, Dr. Collins is on the second floor.
18:54The second floor?
18:56The second floor?
18:58The second floor?
18:59The second floor?
19:00Ogden, could you please escort this gentleman downstairs to Dr. Collins' office?
19:04The second floor?
19:05The second floor?
19:07The second floor?
19:09You don't like me very much.
19:15I know that man.
19:17What are you talking about?
19:19He was there, in France.
19:22He was the one who rescued us.
19:25It's him.
19:31Stop him.
19:32Go.
19:40Hurry up.
19:41I'm trying.
19:43See, this must be one of them two-man jobs.
19:49I'm okay.
20:16I'm sorry.
20:53Oh, shit.
21:02You good?
21:05This was a new suit.
21:09Shit!
21:14Hark!
21:16Sound of yonder bring.
21:18What do you think, Bob?
21:21It's not that little pea shooters to me.
21:23Shut up, Lee.
21:24Cry havoc, my friends.
21:26And let loose the dogs of war.
21:28Oh, my God.
22:00Oh, what are you waiting for?
22:02Run.
22:09Please, please, don't hurt me.
22:24Howdy, boys.
22:26Long time no see.
22:55I thought visiting hours was over.
22:59Mr. Layden, that was quite the show you put on last night.
23:02Oh, thank you, thank you.
23:04You know I'd offer you an autograph, but I don't have a pen.
23:08I assume you know who I am.
23:09The man with the man with the mane of silver, born from nothing, built his empire through gut and guile,
23:18purveyor of the finest prohibited potions, king of the five boroughs, Mr. Finbar burn himself.
23:32I see you like to talk.
23:33I think you could listen for a second.
23:35Oh, I am like a Nebraskan cornfield.
23:40All he is.
23:44I'm listening.
23:45Mayor Morris appears to have forgotten who runs this town.
23:48My men and I are planning to remind him.
23:50I want you to help me.
23:52Me?
23:53Oh, well, my only regret is that I have but one life to give you.
24:00But I promise you, I will take plenty.
24:06Get him out of there.
24:09Ah.
24:15Oh, yes.
24:17Thank you, comrade.
24:25Please.
24:27I was just doing my job.
24:29Oh, and now, I'm going to do mine.
24:36Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player.
24:41It struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is looked for more.
24:45The tale is told by an idiot full of sound and fury.
24:51Oh, sir.
24:51Oh, no.
24:53Oh, no.
25:07That was weird.
25:10Prisoners were injected with radiated plants and minerals
25:14and the genetic material of spiders, scorpions, snakes.
25:18Eels, too.
25:21The Germans then altered the subjects' genes by splicing them with those of other entities.
25:27Over time, the patient's genetic material began to decay.
25:30Many suffered lethal mutations, while others survived in an altered state for months or years.
25:37Faber's been looking for a cure, but all she's managed to do is activate latent mutations and accelerate them.
25:43She's trying to save them, but she's killing them.
25:46The guy that bit you?
25:47Yeah.
25:48He was dying.
25:50But I lived.
25:52Why?
25:59A doctor making monsters in a secret lab in the Bronx.
26:03It's going to make for one hell of a story.
26:05First black bullet, sir?
26:07Well, it's got to happen someday.
26:09Robbie, I have a request.
26:10Anything.
26:11Let me tell Kat before you print it.
26:12If Flint's going to die because of this, I don't want her to read about it in a newspaper.
26:17I said anything, didn't I?
26:23I'll give you a day, but I ain't losing a story.
26:26Yeah.
26:30So, how bad is it?
26:32How deep are you in with her?
26:35I suppose you're going to tell me to be careful.
26:37Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
26:38Careful's for, uh, stock tips and hot sauce.
26:42Matters of the heart, I say, go for broke or don't bother going at all.
26:47Go for broke, huh?
26:50Wouldn't take much.
26:55Riley.
27:13Mr. Riley, take a seat.
27:17Can I get you anything?
27:19Glass of the good stuff?
27:21Perfect toast.
27:26They take it you recognize my new associates?
27:29I read the papers.
27:30Congratulations.
27:31You've assembled an entire outfield of freaks.
27:34You guys see that movie, Freaks?
27:35Directed by Todd Browning?
27:37Still playing.
27:37You three could sign up for the remake.
27:40Calm down.
27:42Mr. Riley is a little wise.
27:44But we're all friends here, right?
27:46Yeah, sure.
27:47So, in the spirit of friendship,
27:48I want to give you a chance to warn the Spider
27:52that this fight is between me and Morris.
27:54And if he gets his nose in my business,
27:57he's liable to lose it.
27:58Is that clear?
27:59As a bell.
28:01Is that all?
28:01I don't mean to be rude,
28:03but, uh, I've got theater tickets.
28:05You ever been on Broadway?
28:07No?
28:07Probably drove a train underneath it, though, right?
28:09Mr. To-be or not to-be?
28:12Cameras rolling, the lights are on.
28:14The director calls action,
28:15the director calls college.
28:17Mr. Layden!
28:19Dad!
28:21Tell your friend
28:22it's in all our best interest
28:24to play nice.
28:27You got it.
28:39Hey.
28:40I hear you make all the ladies faint.
28:43Make me faint.
28:46I know about Winston.
28:47My condolences.
28:49Were you too close?
28:50I know you set him up, Riley.
28:53And I know you did it for her.
28:58Her?
28:59Don't take me for dumb.
29:01I didn't tell the boss
29:02because he would have killed
29:03the both of you.
29:04And mad as I am,
29:05I don't want Cat Dan.
29:09You okay, pal?
29:11You were pretty rough.
29:14I'm fine.
29:15You keep doing
29:16Solar Man's dirty work
29:18and maybe you won't be.
29:19You worry about yourself, Riley.
29:22You get one pass
29:23because he saved her.
29:25This is it.
29:30You know,
29:32a hot dog at the game
29:34is better than roast beef
29:35at the Ritz.
29:36Think about it.
29:49You know we've got no secrets
29:50or done with the stairs?
29:51I didn't want to be seen.
29:53Clint's back with Silverman.
29:55I know.
29:56I saw him this morning.
29:58Acted like he didn't even know me.
30:00And that bothered you?
30:04You swooped in here
30:05to ask me that.
30:06He knows you tried to kill Silverman.
30:07He heard us talking
30:08the other night.
30:09And has he told him?
30:10He doesn't want to see you dead.
30:11He's not well, Ben.
30:12I'm worried about him.
30:12You should be.
30:21You can spare me
30:22the dramatic pause.
30:23Whatever it is,
30:24I can take it.
30:24Clint and some of the other guys
30:25in that camp
30:26have been seeing a doctor
30:27at the VA.
30:27A woman called Faber.
30:28She's been trying to come up
30:29with a cure
30:30but she's only made them worse.
30:31What do you mean worse?
30:32The Germans did
30:32will eventually kill them
30:33but she's speeding it up.
30:36You mean Flint's going to die?
30:43When?
30:44All I know is
30:45every time he uses his powers
30:46he gets a little closer.
30:49Thank you for telling me.
30:50Cat.
30:51He says one word
30:52and we're both dead.
30:53I'd like to be alone, please.
31:03What's left for us here?
31:05Ruby's gone.
31:06Flint's passed to help him.
31:08We're chasing ghosts.
31:10But you and I
31:11could have something.
31:12What if we left New York
31:14went someplace
31:14where nobody knows us?
31:16What was that island
31:17with the black sand?
31:18Santorini.
31:18Santorini.
31:19We could go there
31:20wherever you want.
31:20You could open your own club.
31:23What about you?
31:24Well, I'll run it
31:24or bartend.
31:25I'll work for you.
31:27I don't know what this is
31:28but I do know
31:28for the first time in years
31:30I'm willing to take a chance
31:32and find out.
31:35Okay.
31:37Okay.
31:50I'll have the, uh,
31:52the, uh,
31:53I'll have the hot dog
31:55deluxe.
31:55You know what?
31:55No, no.
31:56I'll just have a scoop
31:57of cottage cheese.
31:58Cottage cheese?
31:59You on a diet or something?
32:00There might be a beach
32:01in my future.
32:02Oh, and breakfast is on me
32:03so you should have at it.
32:04Okay, now I'm really confused.
32:06Uh, scrambled eggs, bacon.
32:07We've got New York cheesecake.
32:09I love cheesecake.
32:09Just bring it all.
32:12I love cheesecake
32:15in the morning
32:19with you.
32:21Okay, well that's new.
32:22Never heard you sing.
32:24You know anything you know how.
32:25There's a lot you don't know
32:25about me.
32:27Is there?
32:28Huh.
32:29You'd be surprised.
32:30Would I?
32:32You know, your hat
32:32looks lovely, by the way.
32:34Did you curl it?
32:35Three weeks ago now.
32:36Spill it.
32:38Oh boy.
32:40What?
32:42I'm leaving town.
32:45Permanently?
32:45I think so, yeah.
32:46But don't worry.
32:47I promise you'll be taken care of.
32:48What about the office?
32:50Get rid of it or keep it.
32:51You're a better PI
32:52than I am anyway, so.
32:55I'll be damned.
32:57It's Kat, isn't it?
33:02Yes, it sounds crazy, I know.
33:05Crazy, crazy, crazy.
33:06Ben.
33:07Because we've only known
33:07each other for a few weeks.
33:08What?
33:09If it took Kat to drag me
33:10out of this hole
33:10that I've been hiding in,
33:11well then I owe it to both of us
33:12to see it through.
33:13Ben.
33:13Because it's the first time
33:14in years that I feel alive.
33:15But Christ...
33:15I'm with the matters of the heart.
33:17You've got to go for a role.
33:17Bobby says we've just got...
33:19Oh, for Christ's sake, Ben.
33:22I'm really happy for you.
33:25Sure.
33:27Yes.
33:28Yes.
34:04Who is it?
34:05Lonnie Winkle, ma'am.
34:06I need to talk to you.
34:08It's about Flint.
34:41Please, Flint, let me take a look at you.
34:43It's getting worse.
34:45I just want to help.
34:46You've done enough, don't you think?
34:47Silverman will never let us be together.
34:48What I did, I did for us.
34:50Without telling me?
34:51Why?
34:52Because I'm stupid?
34:53No.
34:53I'm just a meathead
34:54with his brains in his fists?
34:55No, I didn't tell you
34:56because I knew you would say no.
34:57And how do you think
34:58it makes me feel, Flint,
35:00that you're more loyal to that man
35:01than you are to me?
35:02That you'd have me living
35:03under his thumb,
35:04unable to breathe
35:05without his say-so?
35:07That's funny to you?
35:08No, what's funny is
35:09I would have killed him for you.
35:11I would have done anything for you
35:12if you just asked.
35:13But you never gave me the chance.
35:15But why would you?
35:17I'm nothing but muscle
35:18for a gangster.
35:21Or maybe it's time
35:22I accepted that.
35:23I leaned into it.
35:27Ain't that right, Lonnie?
35:29You and me, buddy,
35:31about to die
35:32in a blaze of goddamn glory.
35:33Flint, please.
35:34Stay away from me.
35:35Please!
35:35Stay away!
35:48Flint, please.
35:53Flint.
35:53Flint.
36:02Let me go.
36:03you? There's really no hope.
36:09Faber said there's only one thing left to try.
36:12But she couldn't make it happen.
36:16What was it?
36:18Not what.
36:20Who.
36:24The spider.
36:26Why?
36:30Why would he change things?
36:32She thinks his mutation is different.
36:34More stable than ours.
36:36She said he could be the answer to all of this.
36:39Problem is, she's got no idea who he is.
36:42Or where to find him.
36:53We need to go. We have to clear the lab.
36:55Maybe it's not as bad as we think it is.
36:57We can't be naive.
36:59I mean, as soon as that reporter publishes his story, they're coming for us.
37:04We can't just give up.
37:06You have done everything you could.
37:10Now it's time to go.
37:24All right, watch your step over here.
37:26Dr. Faber, I just want to know, if you find the spider, are you really able to help them?
37:32Clint, Lonnie, all of them.
37:34You know who the spider is, don't you?
37:36If I tell you, do you promise you won't hurt him?
37:40You have my word.
37:43His name is Ben Reilly.
