02x13 - Final Curtain

[bunniefuu]

[GRUNTING]

[ALL GRUNTING]

Get him!Man, I'm tired

of these Pumpkin heads.

[GRUNTING]

SPIDER-MAN: Green Goblin

makes a comeback,

and with all the other bosses

out of the picture,[GRUNTING]

he's become the one and only

Gob-father of crime.

This is the fifth Gob-squad

I've fought this week

and still no sign

of their boss.

Which means Harry's

still out there,

taking Globulin Green,

blacking out,

and using the downtime

to Goblin up

and get me in his sights.[GROANING]

I promised myself

I'd bring Harry home safely,

but no one's seen him

since before the school play.

No one but these creeps.

[GRUNTING][THUDDING]

[GRUNTING]

[ALL GRUNTING]

Attention all

squash-brains.

How about I swear not

to take that nickname

too literally

in exchange for you

spilling Gobby's

current address.

PUMPKINHEAD 1: We

don't know. PUMPKINHEAD 2: He

doesn't have a base.

PUMPKINHEAD 3: He

contacts us. We swear.

Ugh! Same old,

same old.

[ENGINE STARTING]

Oh, come on, Harry.

Where are you?

[GLASS CLINKS]

HARRY: Gwen.

I need your help.

Livin' on the edge

Fighting crime

Spinning webs

Swingin' from

the highest ledge

He could leap

above our heads

Villains on the rise

And the city's victimized

PETER: Uh, hey,

hey, Liz, it's

It's Petey.[CHUCKLING]

Liz, I'm really sorry

I didn't see the play,

but II had

to take pictures for

I know, Peter.

The Buglecomes first,

but I can't help wondering

if it had been

Gwen in the play

PETER: [ON PHONE]

Liz, I promise.

If Aunt May

had been the fairy queen,

I'd still have

missed the show.

II was completely

locked upwith work.

[SIGHING]

Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[CHUCKLING] Great.

Bye.

Aunt May?

How long have you?

Long enough to know you

need to be honest with

both these girls, Peter.

Which means that first

you need to be honest

with yourself.

[CELL PHONE RINGS] Gwen?

GWEN: [ON PHONE]

Peter, I need your help.

Gwen, are you all

Harry.

SPIDER-MAN: Easy, Pete.

Spidey knows

Harry's the Goblin,

but Peter Parker doesn't.

Even Harry may not know

he's the Goblin again

so play it cool.

But be ready.

Harry, tell Pete

what you told me.

I I guess the whole

school knows I juiced

to improve my game.

What most don't know

is that it was an experimental

OsCorp performance enhancer

called Globulin Green.

Or that I started

blacking out because of it.

Or that during my blackouts,

I became the Green Goblin.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

I I mean.

No way. [CHUCKLING]

Uh, come on, you,

the Green Goblin?

He's not

kidding, Peter.

I don't remember any of it,

but my dad and Spider-Man

figured out my Green-fueled

subconscious was taking over,

making me do things.

At least that's what we all

thought was happening.

"Thought"? Past tense?

See. This is where

it gets confusing.

The reason I've

been missing

the last few days?

The Goblin, or someone

wearing a Goblin costume,

kidnapped me. [SCREAMING]

Wait, wait, wait,

there's a second

Gobby Uh, Goblin?

Are you sure

this even happened?

You didn't just

black out and

imagine it all?

No! I'm off

the juice.

I swear.

I've been tempted.

But I destroyed my stash

to make sure I wouldn't

I couldn't succumb.

I believe you,

but you need to

tell all this to

your parents.

Mmm, I don't know. I don't know.

Harry, your dad helped

you when he thought

you were the Goblin.

I mean, of course,

he'd help you now.

Would he?

If Harry's telling the truth,

uh, maybe my first instinct

was right.

Maybe Norman Osborn

is the Goblin.

Okay.

I'll talk to him.

With Spidey on the scene

just in case.

Thanks.

Both of you.

I couldn't ask for

two better friends.

I should go too. Yeah.

[SIGHS] No.

Honesty time.

Look, I I made

a mess of things.

You You kissed me

andand I

Look, I I'm not

even sure how

I wound up with Liz

oror how

you wound up

with Harry.

And they're both

great, but

Gwen, you're the one

I want to be with.

If you don't feel

the same way

Peter.

I've been in love

with you since

seventh grade. [CHUCKLING]

No.

No, not behind

Harry's back,

or Liz's.

Right, right. We

We have to break it

off with them first.

GWEN: It'll be hard,

but [SIGHS]

PETER: Then

we can be together.

[WHIRRING]

HARRY: And then I escaped.

Please, Dad,

you've got to

believe me.

I want to, son,

but I'm just not sure

we can trust you.

Maybe it's Normy

who can't be trusted.

Last Halloween,

I followed Goblin here.

And I saw Osborn senior

come out of the secret room

behind that suit of armor.

You mean the wine cellar?

That's not exactly a secret.

Mr. Osborn.

Master Harry.

Spider-Man.

Ugh, okay.

I give up.

Which one of you

is the Goblin?

I've got this

handled, dear.

Spider-Man,

your suspicion

is natural,

but I was at OsCorp

the night Green Goblin stole

the inhibitor prototype.

Witnesses saw us together.

[PHONE RINGING] Harry, get that.

Oh, fine.

Here's the bottom line.

I'm not sure

if Harry's telling

the truth,

or if he even knows

the truth.

Dad, it's Donald Menken.

He says it's urgent.

I apologize, Spider-Man.

One moment.

[GROANING] I'm so lost.

I was sure

Norman was the Goblin

until I saw

Harry wearing the mask.

Now I don't know

if either one is Gobby.[BEEPING]

Heck, maybe

both of them are.

[expl*si*n]

[GROANING] [DISTANT BEEPING]

[GRUNTING]

Who is this guy?

Think fast.

Think faster.

Tonight you're in

a particularly un-friendly

neighborhood, Spider-Man.

[GREEN GOBLIN CACKLING]

Although I will admit

you have an annoying

tendency to, well, survive.

The Green Goblin

has every contingency in place

to test the outer limits

of that talent.

Until all that remains

is a red and blue stain

on the pavement!

[GRUNTING]

Hmm, where have I heard

that one before?

Oh, yeah,

from every super-villain

I've ever come up against.

Then perhaps

it would be more original

if I simply remained silent

while watching you splat!

[BEEPING]

Well, it certainly would

qualify as refreshing.

Whoa.

SPIDER-MAN: Peekaboo.

[GRUNTING]

Nicely played,

but wheels within wheels

are already in motion

and I'll be back

to see you crushed

beneath them.

[GRUNTING]

Ha! Not so fun

when you're flying blind,

huh, Gobby?

Too true.

More fun

to fire blind. [CACKLING]

Okay, that was

the real deal.

[PANTING]

Which means

neither of you

was ever the Goblin.

A voice can be mimicked,

technology copied.

It's not the voice,

it's the words.

Not the tech,

but the moves.

I'm telling you

that was Gobby,

the one and only.

But how did I wind up

in that Goblin costume?

Are you saying

someone set me up?

Uh, who? Why?

Hey, one question

at a time.

Starting with,

who else has access

to Globulin Green?

[PHONE AUTODIALS]

Security,

this is Osborn.

Grab Donald Menken.

No, I mean grab him

and don't let him go.

But, sir, Menken left

the premises an hour ago.

NORMAN: [ON PHONE]

Then get me

his home address. Now.

Globulin Green

was my own

personal project.

In hubris,

I showed it

to my family.

And we know

how that turned out.

Yes, well, at OsCorp,

only Donald Menken

knew of its existence.

Sir.

Menken's address,

his entire personnel file,

it's been deleted.

And the only people

who have the clearance

to do that

Are myself and Menken.

He's gone to ground,

but Menken nearly

destroyed my son.

Worse, he betrayed me.

I promise you, Spider-Man,

I will find him.

PETER: Did you? GWEN: Not yet.

Did you?No, I'm meeting

her for lunch.

Hey, guys, what's up?

[STUTTERING]

Up? Nothing.

Uh, we were

just talking.

[CHUCKLING]

Um, no worries.

I'm not the

dating police.

[CHUCKLING]

Dating police.

Good one.

Uh, I gotta go. Yeah,

me too. Bye.

Finally.

Petey, [CHUCKLING]

you're putting ketchup

in your fruit cup.

Is everything

all right?

PETER: Yeah.

[STUTTERING] I mean, no.

I mean, Liz, you and me

Well, mostly me

because you

You've been great.

But I just don't

think I've been much

of a boyfriend.

So maybe we'd

be better off

as just friends.

Are Are you

breaking up with me?

PETER: [SIGHS] I'm sorry.

[SALLY SLURPING]

You dump me?

I don't

think so.

That's it, Petey!

We're through!

Finally.

[SOBBING]

Liz? Yeah.

Not fun.

Harry?

I I haven't

even seen him.

I hope it went

all right with

his parents.

Our timing

does kind of suck.

Dr. Connors?

What's going on?

Curt and I

are leaving ESU.

In fact,

we're leaving

New York.

I can't go

into all the

details,

but we had

to move on.

[SIGHS]

But the lab,

your work?

Our work

will continue

in Florida.

As for the lab,

Dr. Warren

is in charge.

You and Pete

can learn a lot

from him.

But, well,

don't learn

too much.

Any news

on Menken?

909 Barrow Street.

Top floor.

Thanks, Gargan.

Check's in the mail.

[WEB-sh**ter sh**ting]

Let's go.

NORMAN: Who ordered

the chopper?

OsCorp kind of

thinks you did.

I figured, after all

he put us through,

you and I would want

some face time with

Goblin-comma-Menken.

Uh, where's

the pilot?

You're the one

who insisted I

get my license.

Moving out? Moving in.

Nice decor,

very green.

It came that way.

OsCorp recently rented

this apartment for me.

[GRUNTING]

I know you're

the Green Goblin.

I have no

response to that.

[BOTH COUGHING]

[GREEN GOBLIN CACKLING]

GREEN GOBLIN:

Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

Spray a little

knockout gas, and you

fold like origami.

[GRUNTING]

I might just have to do

my happy dance.

Harry, what are

you doing?

Cowboying up.

[COUGHING]

[BEEPING]

So Menken's not

the Goblin either?

Menken?

Seriously?

Ha ha, you

bought that?

[GIGGLING]

[GRUNTING]

Oh, this can't be good.

He's booby-trapped

the whole city.

And the Gob-squad's out

in force too. Perfect!

[GRUNTING]

[SPIDER-MAN GRUNTING]

If it's not me

or you or Menken

then who's left

that knew about

the Green?

[GASPS]

You don't think

the Goblin

could be Mom?

[GRUNTING]

[ALL GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

Oh, what's wrong,

Spider-Man?

Off your game?

No, game's good,

Gobs.

Just getting acquainted

with the rules.

Rule one,

Spidey must splat.

SPIDER-MAN:

Rule two,

ignore rule one.

Rule three,

make Gobby

look goofy.

[GRUNTING]

Dad?

Son, he's obviously

an imposter.

Right, right.

Except I heard you

apologize to Spider-Man

last night.

Norman Osborn

never apologizes!

I did not sign on

for this.

Chameleon.

Then you!

You were the Goblin

all along!

[GRUNTING]

I told you

I invented the Green.

Of course,

I wasn't fool enough

to drink it.

Small doses in gaseous form

increased my strength,

agility, intelligence.

With no blackouts.

No loss of control.

And you've been

working with Chameleon

the whole time?

NORMAN:

Not at first.

As Goblin,

I appeared at OsCorp

to steal my

Gob-web inhibitor.

Imagine my pleasure

at finding Norman Osborn

a witness to my crime.

It was Chameleon,

of course,

stealing OsCorp secrets

for a competitor.

So this week, I hired him

to keep you guessing

and set you up

for a fall.

SPIDER-MAN: But last

Halloween you crashed.

The Goblin crashed.

And you saw me

limp away.

Do you know how easy

it is to fake a limp?

But Harry wasn't faking.

When I found him

that night,

he was wearing

Goblin's costume,

and his leg

was really hurt.

NORMAN: More serendipity.

You had guessed my identity.

I knew I had to redirect

your suspicion.

And when I returned home,

I found Harry passed out

from an overdose of Green.

It didn't take long

to deduce the cause

of Harry's sudden success

at football and in school.

It took only slightly longer

to dress him as the Goblin.

The limp completed

the illusion.

[HARRY GROANING]

You framed your own son?

I protected Harry!

If I'd been sent to prison,

who'd have made a man

out of him?

Just look at what

he's done today.

I've never been

prouder of the boy.

Oh, who are you kidding?

You were saving

your own sorry butt,

not Harry's.

Potato, "potato."

Once you're out

of the picture,

I'll make

everything right.

You wouldn't know right

if it blew up your glider!

[SHRIEKING]

Dad!

HARRY:

Dad was sick.

A victim

of the Green.

No one knows how

that stuff changes you

better than I do.

Spider-Man should have

helped him, not

[SIGHING]

I don't know

what I'd do

without you, Gwen.

You're all

that's keeping me

from going back

on the Green myself.

Oh. I got

your messages.

Was there something

you wanted

to tell me?

It was nothing.

SPIDER-MAN:

Another banner episode

in the life of Peter Parker.

Harry's left with no father.

I'm left with no Gwen.

But at least the city's safe.

The Green Goblin's

gone forever.

MAN ON PA: Now boarding

Flight 1057 to Miami.

Time to start

a brand new

adventure,

a brand new

life.

MAN: Flight 994

to Grand Cayman Island

is now boarding

all first class rows.

Sorry for the delay,

Mr. Roman.

Don't apologize.

I never do.
