INT. PAWN SHOP
Liz enters, approaching the main counter. A male CASHIER is
there to greet her.
CASHIER
What can I do for you?
LIZ
I'm looking for Andrew.
The Cashier recognizes the name, but tries to hide it.
CASHIER
Don't know no Andrew.
Liz reaches across the counter, grabbing him and pulling him
across. She pulls him up to eye level.
LIZ
Where is he?
INT. PAWN SHOP - BACK ROOM
Andrew and two other DEALERS are gathered when Liz enters.
LIZ
I've been looking everywhere for
you. Why haven't you been answering
your phone?
DEALER #1
Who the hell are you?
ANDREW
She's cool.
(to Liz)
Been busy. What's up?
LIZ
I need more.
Andrew grabs Liz by the arm and pulls her over to the side.
ANDREW
You shouldn't be here. I told you
I'd always come to you. My boy's
are getting suspicious.
LIZ
You can trust me...
ANDREW
I don't care about you. I care
about my own ass.
LIZ
Whatever. I need some, quick.
Liz pulls out the large bag of money from before.
LIZ
See, I got the money.
Andrew reacts to the size of the bag.
ANDREW
Jesus, where the hell did you get
that? You're gonna get us arrested!
DEALER #1 (O.S.)
We got company.
Andrew and Liz turn to see Flash entering the room, looking
ready for a fight.
FLASH
Is this what you've been up to?
LIZ
What are you doing here?!
ANDREW
Who is this guy?
FLASH
I'm the guy whose going to kick
your ass if you don't stay the hell
away from my girl!
LIZ
He's no one.
ANDREW
You need to tell him to get lost.
Flash grabs Andrew.
FLASH
I'm right here, asshole!
Andrew pushes him away.
ANDREW
You need to stay the hell out of my
business, kid.
Andrew grabs Flash's shoulder. Flash PUNCHES him in the face,
knocking him a couple of steps back into the others.
ANDREW
Not smart, kid. Not smart.
The two dealers rush Flash. He tries to fight them off, but
they're too much. One of them catches him with a HARD PUNCH
to the face, which knocks him to the ground. They continue
their assault as Liz watches on.
Off her dazed, yet still concerned face:
FADE OUT.
END OF ACT THREE
ACT FOUR
FADE IN:
INT. PAWN SHOP - BACK ROOM
The men continue their assault on Flash. Liz watches on with
growing concern, and finally intervenes.
LIZ
Alright! Stop it! Stop!
They stop, but as Flash gets to his feet he takes a swing at
one of them, knocking him to the floor. The other jumps on
him, resuming the attack. Soon, Andrew joins him.
LIZ
I said stop!
Liz grabs Andrew, and pulls him off of Flash. He slams into
the wall. The remaining dealer looks at Liz, almost scared.
Flash makes his way to his feet, bruised and battered. A
moment later, he freezes at the sound of a CLICK.
Andrew is back on his feet, and holding a gun to his head.
ANDREW
Think you're some kind of hero
freak? You may be strong, but that
won't stop me from blowing you're
boyfriend's head off!
Liz looks on, confused, scared, and angry.
LIZ
Let him go.
ANDREW
Leave the money. I don't wanna see
you back here. Either of you.
Liz picks up the bag of money, slowly handing it to him. He
pushes Flash forward, toward Liz, then takes aim at them.
LIZ
You said we could go!
ANDREW
Yeah, well I lied.
Suddenly, a string of WEBBING shoots into frame, spraying the
gun and snatching it away. Andrew looks back, stunned.
Spider-Man stands in the doorway. He crushes the gun.
SPIDER-MAN
So, does that mean your pants...
Andrew grabs a knife, throwing it at Spidey, who dodges.
SPIDER-MAN
On fire. Jeez, I know it's corny,
but no need for the violence.
Andrew turns to run, but is met with a stiff punch from
Flash. The two dealers try to run as well.
One is snatched back on a strand of webbing, while the other
is tripped up by Flash, and caught by another punch.
Spider-Man turns just in time to see Andrew running away.
EXT. STREET - AFTERNOON - MOMENTS LATER
Andrew runs out of the shop, but is soon tripped up and
LIFTED into the air by Spider-Man, who sits on the side of a
nearby building, several stories into the air.
He lifts Andrew up to eye level. Andrew looks down at the
ground, plenty of fear in his eyes.
SPIDER-MAN
Alright, sparky. Spill it.
ANDREW
What are you talking about?!
SPIDER-MAN
The drugs. Where have you been
getting them?
ANDREW
Man, you're gonna get me killed!
Spider-Man drops him, letting him fall a dozen or so feet
before catching him, and pulling him back up.
SPIDER-MAN
Seriously, you don't want me to
have to ask again.
Andrew looks around nervously, realizing he has no choice.
ANDREW
A guy... I don't know his name.
SPIDER-MAN
Oh come on, I think you can do
better than that.
Spidey starts to drop him again, but:
ANDREW
Alight! Alright!
SPIDER-MAN
I'm listening.
Andrew hesitates...
ANDREW
Hammerhead.
SPIDER-MAN
Hammerhead?
ANDREW
That's what they call him. I dunno,
he's supposed to have connections
to the Kingpin himself. I swear,
that's all I know.
FLASH (O.S.)
Help!
Spider-Man looks down toward the street, where Flash carries
an unconcious Liz in his arms.
SPIDER-MAN
What happened?
FLASH
I don't know, she just collapsed. I
think it's those pills!
SPIDER-MAN
We need to get her to the hospital.
Spider-Man webs Andrew to the wall, and jumps down.
ANDREW
Hey! You can't just leave me here!
FADE TO:
INT. OSCORP - NORMAN'S OFFICE
Norman sits behind his desk as Doctor Conners enters.
CONNERS
I hear things are going well.
NORMAN
Thanks to you.
CONNERS
The treatment doesn't cover
everyone. Don't go handing me any
awards just yet.
NORMAN
You took a difficult situation and
made it work. That kind of grace
under pressure is rare.
Conners nods slightly.
CONNERS
I only wish I could have helped
everyone. A lot of people are going
to die because of this.
NORMAN
Drug addicts. Common street thugs.
You can't save those who don't want
to be saved.
CONNERS
Any leads on where the leak came
from?
Norman shakes his head.
NORMAN
Unfortunately no. There could be
any number of explanations. A lot
of people have passed through this
project.
CONNERS
I see. Well, I should be getting
back. I've got some work to do.
NORMAN
Very well. You saved a lot of lives
this week, Doctor. You should be
proud.
Conners turns back.
CONNERS
I suppose so.
Conners exits. Off Norman:
INT. OSCORP - RESEARCH LAB - LATER
Conners shuffles through some paperwork as his cell phone
begins to vibrate. He answers:
CONNERS
Conners.
He is greeted by the voice of NICK FURY.
FURY
(filtered; through phone)
Report.
CONNERS
Colonel Fury. I was just about to
contact you.
FURY
What's the situation?
CONNERS
The counter agent you provided me
with seems to be doing as well as
we had expected.
FURY
And Osborn?
CONNERS
I don't think he suspects anything.
FURY
Any update on the leak?
Conners hesitates.
CONNERS
If he knows, he's not telling me.
FURY
Keep working at it. We'll deal with
Osborn soon enough, but we need to
find the source of this leak.
CONNERS
Understood.
The line goes dead. Conners slowly pockets the phone.
Off his stoic expression:
FADE TO:
LIZ'S P.O.V.
As her eye's slowly open, revealing:
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM
The sounds of various equipment can be heard.
VOICE (O.S.)
You're up.
Liz looks to her left to find Flash standing by her bedside.
On the other side are Mary Jane, Gwen, and Eddie.
FLASH
How you feeling?
LIZ
(strained)
What happened?
FLASH
You collapsed. Doctor's said you
would have died if Spider-Man
hadn't got you here so fast.
LIZ
Spider-Man...?
(beat, remembers)
Oh God.
FLASH
Some super-genius doctor created a
treatment for the drug. The doctor
says you should be fine in a week
or so.
MARY JANE
You had us really scared there for
a second.
Liz buries her head in her hands, trying her best to hold
back her tears.
MARY JANE
We'll leave you two alone.
Mary Jane, Gwen, and Eddie exit.
FLASH
You okay?
LIZ
I can't believe I did this. I
almost killed myself. I am such a
screw-up.
FLASH
Hey, everybody screws up every now
and then. It could have been worse.
LIZ
Yeah? How's that?
Flash wiggles his bandaged finger.
FLASH
You could have broken a finger.
Liz lets out a quiet laugh.
LIZ
Guess I pretty much rammed this
ship into an iceberg.
FLASH
Not so fast, Allen. You're not
getting rid of me that easy.
Liz looks up at him, smiling faintly.
LIZ
You mean you're not going to run
for the hills?
FLASH
Not unless you're coming with me.
Besides, I gotta stick around to
see Indy's reaction when she finds
out we helped Spider-Man take down
a bunch of drug dealers.
Liz laughs as we:
CUT TO:
INT. HOSPITAL - HALLWAY - OUTSIDE ROOM
Mary Jane, Gwen, and Eddie exit the room, Eddie favoring his
stomach. Gwen glances over at him.
GWEN
What?
EDDIE
I'm starving.
GWEN
So go to the cafeteria.
EDDIE
Are you kidding? This is a
hospital, they don't have food
here, they have jello.
Gwen grabs him by the arm and pulls him along.
GWEN
(laughs)
Come on...
EDDIE
If I get sick, you're taking care
of me. I'm talking all-out,
including the nurse outfit.
Gwen turns back to Mary Jane.
GWEN
You coming?
MARY JANE
For hospital jello? I'll pass.
Gwen rolls her eyes and continues down the hall with Eddie.
Peter walks in through a pair of double doors, out of breath.
MARY JANE
Hey, tiger.
PETER
I heard what happened. How's she
doing?
MARY JANE
She's up. Doctor says she'll be
okay after a week or so.
PETER
It's a good thing they released
that treatment when they did.
MARY JANE
Yeah.
An awkward beat of silence.
PETER
So... everything alright with your
dad? With the job offer and all?
MARY JANE
I wish I knew.
PETER
He hasn't decided?
MARY JANE
If he has, he hasn't told me.
PETER
Hey, you know the other night when
you came over... I'm sorry I wasn't
there. I mean, you needed someone
to talk to and I wasn't around.
Mary Jane smiles.
MARY JANE
It's okay, I know you've been busy.
Doing whatever it is you do.
PETER
Yeah... just stuff. I wish I could
explain it. It's weird.
MARY JANE
After this week, I think weird has
taken on a whole new meaning.
Peter chuckles.
PETER
True. At least Flash seems to want
to help her out, though.
MARY JANE
It's strange, I never saw him as
that type. After all that's
happened, he's still around. Not
only that, but he really went all
out to help her through this. Guess
you never really know people as
well as you think you do, huh?
Peter grins sheepishly.
PETER
Guess not...
INT. DAILY BUGLE - MAIN FLOOR - NIGHT
Looking less active than usual, the room is fairly quiet.
Robbie sits at his desk with Peter standing beside him.
ROBBIE
Hammerhead? You're sure?
PETER
You know him?
ROBBIE
Dad does. He's a low level crime
boss, deals in guns and drugs
mostly. He's been arrested a bunch
of times, but they've never been
able to pin anything on him. Real
name's Michael Senerchia.
PETER
If he's dealing this stuff...
ROBBIE
Whoa, whoa. Slow down, Pete. This
guy's a bottom feeder. He wouldn't
have the connections to pull
something like this off.
PETER
Porter said he had connections to
the Kingpin, though. If he's
working for him...
ROBBIE
Or against him. Maybe he's trying
to up his status. The drugs could
be stolen.
Robbie digs through some files, producing one.
ROBBIE
He operates out of an old apartment
in Brooklyn last anyone heard.
PETER
(reading the file)
1183 Rockwell Avenue.
Peter starts to leave.
ROBBIE
Hey, wait!
Peter stops, turns back.
ROBBIE
You sure you want to get involved
in this?
Peter looks at Robbie, his silence saying it all.
ROBBIE
Right. Of course.
Peter hurries toward the exit. Off Robbie:
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. HAMMERHEAD'S DEN - LATER
Looking about like you'd expect. Slightly run-down, but
livable in a pinch. Suddenly, the door is KICKED IN.
Spider-Man enters, ready for a fight.
SPIDER-MAN
Surprise!
Nothing. The room is completely silent.
SPIDER-MAN
Hello?
He jumps down the stairs, to the floor of the den.
SPIDER-MAN
All right let's get this over...
Spider-man stops in his tracks.
SPIDER-MAN
Oh God...
PAN AROUND and we see what he sees. A massacre.
The room is filled with around two dozen MEN. All dead.
Not just dead, but slaughtered. Blood is everywhere, from the
floor, to the walls, to even the ceiling. Many of the bodies
appear to have been gunned down in a line, while others seem
to have been shot execution-style.
Among the bodies is that of MICHAEL SENERCHIA (aka
HAMMERHEAD) which seems to have suffered a particularly
brutal fate. Spider-Man takes a step back.
Off the grizzly scene:
FADE TO:
INT. FISK'S OFFICE - NIGHT
Fisk sits behind his desk, the phone pressed to his ear.
VOICE
(filtered; through phone)
It's done.
FISK
Good. Keep in touch.
Fisk hangs up his phone as the office doors open, revealing
his SECRETARY alongside Craig Watson.
FISK
Craig. Come in, have a seat.
The secretary leaves exits as Craig approaches the desk.
CRAIG
I'm not intruding am I?
FISK
Of course not. Sit down, please.
Craig sits.
CRAIG
I'm here about your offer.
FISK
Have you come to a decision?
CRAIG
I have.
(then)
I'll take the job.
The two shake hands as we:
FADE TO BLACK.
