Earth vs. the Spider Page #4

Synopsis: A shy, obsessive comic book fan gets injected with an experimental serum of a lab that is studying how to give humans the abilities of spiders. At first he develops minor abilities such as increased strength, which allows him to fight local criminals and bullies, thus living out his dream of being a superhero, and impressing his attractive next-door neighbor. Things start to get more odd when he is able to shoot webs out of his abdomen. Then he loses control over the force with which he applies his increasingly deadly abilities, as well as his judgment to discern between criminals and jokesters. His dream becomes a nightmare when he starts growing large spider body parts, he's in constant pain, and he develops a nearly insatiable hunger. A detective with a traumatized wife begins investigating when bodies covered in cobwebs and spider venom start piling up.

l was barely conscious.

Hold it. This is a crime scene.

But l live here.

-I.D.?

-Oh, yeah.

-Here.

-That must have hurt.

What?

The tat.

Yeah. Yeah, it hurt.

All right, go ahead.

I didn't see anything.

He must have been pretty big,

to snap your assailant's neck.

I.... Quentin.

-You okay?

-Yeah.

Detective Grillo, this is Quentin.

He was here, that guy.

That creep grabbed me in the hallway.

Somebody saved me.

He was a hero,

and l don't even know who he was.

He was gonna kill me.

You're safe now, he's gone.

A couple more details.

I'll talk to you later, okay?

I had to kill him. You and me,

we do what we have do to save lives.

That's me! l'm that guy!

l stopped the killer.

I'm a superhero, Thor!

l'm a superhero. Come on.

I'm a superhero! l'm a superhero!

Oh, my God.

Papa Nick,

l finally got something special.

You're a superhero!

Baby, it's me.

The Midtown Murderer was killed

tonight. By a civilian.

A civilian hero.

It should have been me.

I know this case

has been tough on us.

The last six months have been tough.

We can try to work it out.

You can work out anything

in life, can't you?

Trix?

It's all right.

Everybody stop moving!

Perfect.

Hi.

You okay? You look....

-I'm okay.

-You look better. Are you packing?

No, l took the day off.

I decided to sort through some stuff.

I hear they have some space

in the basement.

Listen, l'll come with you.

I got a few things.

-That's it?

-I'll get those.

Here, l'll take these.

Listen, thank you so much

for letting me cry on your shoulder.

I'm glad l was there to help.

-You know, after the....

-Hey, check it out.

-Back off.

-You guys moving in together now?

Hey, nursie, can l get your box?

Leave! Get out of here!

-You all right?

-Yeah.

-God, it's grungy down here.

-Nobody ever uses this place.

I can see why.

-So who are you?

-What?

That wasn't you out there.

Maybe it was. Maybe....

I guess l'm just mad

about what happened to you.

-I didn't mean to upset you.

-Oh, no! No.

It was great. It felt great.

God, you were amazing. Thank you.

You're welcome. Absolutely.

I thought l'd be prepared

for what happened to me.

I tried to fight back.

I guess sometimes

you just aren't strong enough.

We all need someone else sometimes.

-Stephanie?

-Yeah?

What if l told you--

Oh, God, l'm so embarrassed!

I've had these since l was a kid.

I can't believe you saw these.

No, it's fine. It's great.

-Dude, what happened to you?

-I've been pretty busy.

No. I mean, what the hell

happened to you?

You got this whole new vibe.

-Finally get laid?

-Better.

-Did you get laid by Lara Croft?

-No.
