01x12 - Mind Games, Part One

[bunniefuu]

Are the twins behaving?

Uh-huh.
They're still drugged.

Hmm. The girl's got
a nice bod.

Yeah, she's a real sweetheart.

Know why they're being moved?

Something about
a new prison in Jersey.

It's got a backup power system.

Back in Ossining,

those rod things
kept shorting out.

Heard they're supposed
to sap their mental powers.

What happened?

Twins say "boo" to their guard?

"Guards." Plural.
Three of them.

The twins took control
of the weakest.

Made him turn
on the closest one.

He worked him over
till he bled to death.

The third just curled up
into a ball

and started crying.

Wh...? What...? What the
hell is going on here?

I didn't see anything.

Boost their meds. Hurry!

sh**t now.

The driver, sh**t,
then set us free.

sh**t.
sh**t.

sh**t.
sh**t.

Drive. Faster.

sh**t.

Drive.

sh**t.

Faster.

This is armored
transport 2-X-niner.

We have an emergency.

Spider-Man is here.

As predicted.

Your mind is ours.

Come... join us.

I don't think so.

Not today.

Don't you see?

We have you right
where we want you.

What's your greatest fear?

Aah!

Your mind is ours.
Join us.

- No!
- Good.

He's ready.

Aah!

You want some of this?

Careful. They'll
mess with your brains.

Or not.

Ohh.

This is where I come to think.

I never thought of the city
as so beautiful.

You should see it at night.

That could be scary.

So you wanted to talk?

Did you ever just wish
you could be two people?

One to do the thing
everyone expects,

and one to follow your heart?

Might have had that thought
once or twice.

Spider-Man, I...
The thing is...

Don't feel bad.

I know what
people expect of you.

Wait for me?

Uh, I'd prefer
down at street level.

Suit yourself.

Whoa! Aah!

Aaaah!

Aaaah!

See you.

Thanks, Muang.

So this is where you're hiding.

I'm not hiding.

Oh, don't get fresh with me,
young man.

I noticed you didn't
come home last night.

Mm. Indy's.

Aha! But wait a second.

I thought you went
to a movie with M.J.

Yeah, that was
in the afternoon.

No wonder he needs
so much fuel.

That's double-dipping, Peter.

Observe.

Mm.

Hi, Harry. That lesson
was free for you.

You mean it's going to cost me?

Mm-hmm. A little
alone time, you and me.

Anyone mind if the third
wheel eats your chips?

Oh, don't pout. You can have
Peter all to yourself for now.

I gotta get to the station
early.

Big scoop in progress.
And don't ask,

because my lips are sealed.

Sure, but...
Okay, you twisted my arm.

The other day
when the Gaines twins

were delivered to the big house

after their fight
with Spider-Man,

they managed to spring
Pterodax and Silver Sable

at the same time!

How?

Worked their mind-control thing
on a prison administrator.

Did you know
they were born that way?

Apparently the KGB
did some experiments

on their parents.

Um, how badly did you
want this to be a scoop?

And just hours
after the prison snafu

that got them released,

Pterodax has been
cornered by police

at the construction site

of the new ESU Science Center.

I'm losing my scoop!
How can they do that to me?

You?

Oscorp gave good money to
build that science center.

I gotta make sure nobody
does anything crazy,

like blow it up.

I'm off to the station.

See you tonight.
Your place.

Pete, you coming?
This could be exciting.

Harry, don't you think I have
enough excitement in my life?

If they come any closer...

Show them.

Aah!

Aleksei, keep an eye below.

If I were you,

you know what would be
my biggest fear?

Gravity.

Aleksei, where are you?

Aleksei, come in, Aleksei.

Looking for someone?

Look out! Move! Move!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Aah!

Thanks a lot,
Spider-Man.

Peter, I've been thinking
about your social life.

My social life?
You mean, us?

Not exactly.

M.J., hi.

So, what's going on here?

Well, Indy and I were IM'ing

and decided to get together...

to discuss
our mutual interests.

You see, Peter, life is
all about making choices.

It's called growing up.

There's no two-for-one
special, Petey.

There isn't?

No!

There's no two-for-one
special...

That's double-dipping,
Peter.

Amazing.

Finally, Parker,
some shots with juice.

I was beginning to think
you belonged

at Women's Wear Daily.

I'll blow this one up
to three columns. Four, maybe.

We'll sell out the late edition

before I've sucked down
my second martini.

What's with you, Parker?

Already need
a pick-me-up at 9 a.m.?

Okay, here's one. I just heard
Kraven the Hunter's in town.

Sergei Kravinoff?

I thought he was
in a Ukrainian gulag.

Where Spider-Man
sent him.

Surprise, surprise.
He got out.

Gulags aren't
what they used to be.

Maybe I should check that out.
There's the spirit.

Get me the goods on Kraven
and I'll double your rate.

A two-for-one special.
Two-for-one special...

You heard me.

Uh, my regular rate is fine,
actually.

Sable, this is a waste of time.
He's just some college kid.

A college kid who's good friends
with Spider-Man.

Trust me.
I know the whole group.

Lovely. I'll order some from
the "Kraven the Hunter" catalog.

What the hell are you doing?

Maybe this is how
to thank Spider-Man

for those years I spent
rotting in a gulag.

Idiot.

You want that kind of revenge,

you have to do it
right in front of his face.

Well, we don't have
a choice now, do we?

Gosh, didn't realize
you two were an item.

Does PeopleMagazine know?

I could say the same
about you and Parker.

What do you do? Follow him
around like a puppy dog?

Yes, you are a mongrel,
not a man.

Hmm. That's real clever, Krave.

That's for knocking me
into the drink.

Thank you for helping me

live out my two
favorite fantasies:

seeing Sable tied up

and sending you into oblivion.

Kraven, remember what I said?

There are other ways
to get revenge on Spider-Man!

Spider-Man. You shopping
for Rocket Dogs too?

Why? Will they help?

I, uh, just wanted to
make sure you're okay.

Any reason I shouldn't be?

No, not really.

Except Kraven
the Hunter's in town

and he's pretty upset with me.

So is Silver Sable, but she's
on her way back to jail.

I had a run-in
with Pterodax,

but that's taken care of.

Outside of that,

you know, friends
worry about friends.

So you walk around
worrying about me?

Walk, crawl, swing...

About you, Harry...

Uh, Peter.

Peter? Is Peter
in some sort of trouble?

Not that I know of.

You get pretty worked up
over that guy, huh?

Peter? He's sweet, innocent.

And I'm guilty of putting
you in danger again.

So I guess what you're saying
is, if I want a normal life,

stay away
from you and Peter Parker.

Or maybe...

Maybe...

What?

Maybe if you only had
one of us to deal with.

Huh?

Oh, my God. Peter...

Uh... I mean... But...

Spider-Man?

It's time you knew.

You trusted me enough
to tell me the truth.

Peter...

Peter?

Peter... Peter...

Peter, what's going on?

Peter? Wow, this really
changes things.

For the better, I hope.

You decide.

Don't you ever get tired

of me using your butt
for a doormat?

Venom from
the black acantha spider.

They use it
to k*ll other spiders.

Don't try and start
a family spat.

Hmm...

Interesting thought.

Hey, let go of me, you pig!

Okay, listen...

Let her go.
I'll do whatever you want.

What I want
is to see you suffer.

Aah!

No!

Mary Jane...

Peter...

I'm so happy.

Now do you understand?

Understand what?

Why I've always
hated Spider-Man.

Yes, I understand.

Excuse me.

Aah!

Not very satisfying, is it?

She's dead, and I assure you,

nothing can bring her back.

But wouldn't
that anger you feel

be better channeled
into revenge?

Isn't that what
you really want?

To avenge
M.J.'s death?

Who are you?

How does it feel
every time you picture her

in your arms, dying,

and Kraven just running off?

If I had the chance,

I would k*ll him
with my bare hands.

Good. Then
make the chance.

He deserves it, doesn't he?

Yes.

So, what would you give
to make that vengeance real?

Anything.

You're sure, then?
You want this?

I'm sure.

You're sure?
You're completely sure?

Yes.

I...want... revenge.

Revenge.

Good. He's ready.

I can feel it in his mind.
He believes it all.

As if he could have ever gotten
the better of us.

Your overconfidence
undermines you, brother.

Did you not feel
his subconscious? He is strong.

His own thoughts and feelings
trickled in

at every twist and turn.

Not strong enough,

not when we put our heads
together.

Yes. You're right, of course.

Together, we can do anything.

Kraven will finally pay

for what he did to our parents.

Ironic, the experiments
he helped them conduct

on Mama and Papa

gave us the very powers

we will use
to avenge their death.

If they'd only lived
to see this.

It is time to rise
and seek revenge.

Go to Kraven.

We found out
where he is hiding.

Avenge M.J.'s death.

This building is perfect.

We'll find you again
if we need you.

Until then, don't
let me run into you.

Where is she?

Good. Spider-Man
must think she's dead.

And if that means having
to really k*ll you...

No problem.
