Synopsis for Down the Rabbit Hole
TBA

Plot
It is a clear and sunny day that has befallen upon New York City, as the citizens go about their businesses throughout the city. Entertainers are seen doing their antiques for a living in the streets, while police officers keep an eye out for suspicious activities. The altruistic men and women of FEAST are helping the homeless by the dozens, while businessmen walk from one destination to another for esoteric errands known only to them. It is a clear and sunny day, and everything is going just fine so far.

In one of the city's many banks, a man is seen negotiating a loan with a teller. So far, 'clear and sunny' doesn't exactly apply to their predicament.
 * Teller: "I am sorry, sir, but judging from this information you've given, your finances aren't liquid enough for the loan. I've checked the other options, but I'm afraid you won't be able to pay the interest with an income like this."
 * Man #1: "Ma'am, I promise you I'm going to pay these interests on time. My finances may not look much right now, but I'm about to score in a big job at the Horizon Labs in a week. The wages are sizeable, and`--"
 * Teller: "Perhaps it is so, sir, but the interest payment begins next month, while your admission happens the very same period. That is, if you are admitted and that Horizon Labs truly pay as much as they advertised. Your current liability is the biggest problem here, as you can see..."
 * Man #1: "Look, I--"

As the two are seen continuing their conversation, an inconspicuous truck parks itself near the bank. Its driver, a man of rather considerable size, smiles upon seeing the fine establishment.


 * Big Man: "Another day, another payday. (Turns around and opens the partition to speak to the others in the container) Image inducers up, people. Let's get this done!"

It appears that the supervillain group known as the Menagerie are seen holed up in the container, all ready, eager, and willing to enact their latest heist. The White Rabbit, the Hippo, the Panda-Mania, the Squid, the Swarm, and their driver, the Ox. They are seen utilizing their image inducers to disguise themselves as regular civilians to keep them away from suspicion.


 * The Squid (Donald Callahan): "Hey, Panda, you sure these things are going to work?"
 * Panda-Mania: "Blame the Tinkerer if it fails to hide your tentacles, Donny."
 * The Hippo (Fluffy Lumpkins): "You know, I don't get why you and Lorina can't just get out of your get-up instead of having to use these things. Saves up costs, you know."
 * White Rabbit (Lorina Dodson): "Because I said so, Wumpus. The moment those face recognition Stark cameras see our faces even without all the makeup, every hero in the ten-mile radius is going to eat us alive."
 * The Swarm (Fritz von Meyer): "(Uses the image inducer on himself, turning his insect-infested face into a handsome face) That is... unless I eat them first."
 * Ox (Raymond Bloch): "Fellas...?"
 * White Rabbit (Lorina Dodson): "Chill your jets, Ox! (Hides her gadgets inside her coat before turning to the Menagerie) Alright folks, get ready for show time in three... two... one..."

The Hippo, disguised, opens the container's door and exits the trucks, followed by the rest of the Menagerie. The Tinkerer's new image inducers have made it so that the Menagerie and any visible equipment of theirs look just like anyone else around them.

The Menagerie enter the bank with no problems, passing by the to-be Horizon Labs employee on their way in. Inside the bank, the Hippo and the Squid wander around to keep an eye out for other interested parties, trying their best to blend in by simply looking around. On the other hand, the Swarm and Panda-Mania make their way to the security room, where the cameras observing the bank's safety are present. Before entering the area, the latter deploys a gadget that generates a zone of silence around the security room, preventing anyone from hearing their coming deeds in the security room.
 * Security Guard: "(Coming out of the toilet and seeing the disguised Swarm and Panda-Mania with confusion) Uhm, sir, ma'am, this is a restricted area."
 * Panda-Mania: "Yeah, right."

Panda-Mania front kicks the security guard, sending him flying across the toilet after crashing through the door. This immediately alerts the other security guards, but the Swarm makes quick work of them by transforming his body into a swarm of bees that infest the security room and paralyze the security guards in a storm of pain and terror. Despite their screams, Panda-Mania's gadget silences all those sounds, allowing the Swarm to accomplish his work without drawing suspicion. As the Swarm reforms himself, Panda-Mania walks to the entrance of the camera room and forces open the door with her superhuman strength. Upon encountering the surprised security guards inside, Panda-Mania throws a nearby trash can at a guard so hard he is knocked out before rushing to the remaining two guards and smashing their heads together, knocking them out.


 * Panda-Mania: "(Seeing the bullet marks on her suit) Hmph. They didn't aim for the head."
 * The Swarm: "They're surprised. They didn't expect getting jumped on by a civilian."
 * Panda-Mania: "They shouldn't have hesitated, either way."

Panda-Mania sits down in front of the camera screens, employing her technical skills to subvert the cameras to the Menagerie's advantage. The Swarm goes out to make sure no one else gets in and find out what they're doing, his image inducer still active to prevent anyone from being totally surprised by his presence. After a minute, Panda-Mania finishes her hacking and contacts White Rabbit through the comms.


 * Panda-Mania: "Rabbit, it's Panda. Security room's clear. You're good to go."
 * White Rabbit: "Thank you, Panda. You truly are my most favorite ursine."

White Rabbit and Ox head to the bank vault, following the directions the former's PDA displays. Along the way, Ox also deploys the same gadget Panda used earlier to mask their presence. When the security guards along the way question their presence the same way they did with the Swarm and Panda-Mania, Ox responds by knocking them out with a simple punch, while Rabbit tranquilizes them with her gun. After eliminating the last few security guards standing in their way, they finally find the bank's vault: their heist's grand prize.


 * White Rabbit: "(Giddy) We're here! (To Panda-Mania, on comms) Panda, how's the vault?"
 * Panda-Mania: "(In the camera room, inputting commands into the computer) Working on it. Software security's tighter than I thought. Bank must've used a new system."
 * White Rabbit: "How long do you need to open the vault?"
 * Panda-Mania: "Two mins, tops. You wanna get quicker, get the muscles down there."
 * Ox: "Allow me."

The Ox warms himself up for a bit before walking to the bank vault and prying it open with his bare strength, throwing away the vault door with reckless abandon, unconcerned of the noise due to the gadgets he deployed previously.


 * Ox: "Guess brawn beats brains this time around, Panda."
 * Panda-Mania: "You're lucky they didn't use adamantium. I had to deal with whatever stupid software they used in here."
 * White Rabbit: "Doesn't matter. We're in! Ox, help me get the stuff!"

The White Rabbit and Ox both pull out inflating duffel bags from their pockets, eventually using them to collect the massive amount of cash stored within the vault. Meanwhile, the Squid and the Hippo, informed of their colleagues' success, ready themselves for the coming action. Unfortunately for the Menagerie, some security guards wishing to replace their fellow personnel's camera work as part of the changing shift find out of the many bodies strewn across the security room. That being said, the Swarm immediately stings the security guards, paralyzing them much like the others.


 * The Swarm: "White Rabbit, you may wish to accelerate your work now."
 * White Rabbit: "Almost there!"

Within minutes, the Rabbit and the Ox succeeds in filling their duffel bags with copious amounts of money deemed enough for their purposes. Afterwards, they quickly head out of the bank vault to depart from the scene, their image inducers still active.


 * White Rabbit: "(Smirking) Didn't even trip an alarm."
 * Ox: "Careful now, Rabbit. Wouldn't want to jinx it."
 * White Rabbit: "Oh, don't worry... nothing jinxes, this time around."

The two exit the vault without a hitch, their improved image inducers hiding the large duffel bags they're carrying. That being said, it doesn't take advanced technology to see past their disguises when a trail of off-cold bodies follows the criminals' track, as the additional security guards find out. A squad of guards, alarmed by the presence of their immobilized colleagues, encounter the duo and take aim at them. The alarm hasn't sounded yet thanks to Panda-Mania, but that won't mean much when a bunch of guards find out about them.


 * Guard #1: "Freeze! Put your hands up, right now!"
 * White Rabbit: "(Sighing in disappointment) Hi. (On comms, to Panda-Mania) Panda?"

Meanwhile, Panda-Mania, who is on the monitors, notices the bank's remaining security guards heading to both the security room and White Rabbit's position. As all of this is happening, the civilians on the lobby floor are alarmed at this development and begin to get uneasy.


 * Panda-Mania: "(Getting up from her chair and stretches, groaning) Took 'em long enough to find the bodies. (Cracks her neck) Oh, well. Hippo, Squid?"
 * The Squid: "(Still disguised, blending with the crowd while avoiding physical contact with them) Cops are here. They don't know Fluffy and I are here, though."
 * Panda-Mania: "Mind buying us some time, Squid?"
 * The Squid: "(Looks at the disguised Hippo) With pleasure."

As the police officers are seen entering the bank while the civilians evacuate, the Squid deliberately bumps into one of the police officers, who still sees him as a regular person.


 * Police Officer #1: "Sir, are you alright? You need to evacuate right now! We've got an active robbery in progress."
 * The Squid: "Right, about that..."

The Squid deactivates his image inducer, much to the officers' surprise, and uses his tentacles to fling out the officers throughout the bank with grievous harm. The Hippo follows suite moments afterwards, throwing couches at the police officers to crush them and bruising even more of them. The police officers focus fire on the two, but the supervillains' immense durability means that they're nothing to them, allowing them to make quick work of the law enforcers. Panda-Mania and Swarm quickly join the fight, jumping from the terrace of the second floor and wreaking havoc upon the police ranks. Moments later, the White Rabbit and Ox succeed getting to the lobby, regrouping with the Menagerie, who are still fighting the cops.


 * Ox: "We got the goods! Let's go!"

The Menagerie collectively jolt out of the scene, the Hippo, the Squid, and the Ox smashing through a bunch of walls to reach the open parking lot, where it appears that their truck is present.
 * White Rabbit: "(Once again being giddy upon seeing that they're truck is there) Woohoo! That remote control truck really works, after all!"
 * Ox: "Alright, let's make this quick, pe--HMPH!"

A burst of web suddenly renders Ox's mouth shut, followed by even more web shots fired at the Menagerie, which momentarily stun them, both due to the surprise factor and the web's immobilization effect.


 * The Squid: "What the hell?!"
 * ???: "Wow, you guys really pulled off a heist so nicely it took me three more minutes to actually find you here."
 * White Rabbit: "Awh, s--t, it's Spider-Man!"

True enough, Spider-Man enters the scene by perching over a lamppost overlooking the Menagerie.


 * Spider-Man (Peter Parker): "Gotta say, I'm really impressed that you guys went all high-tech and sneaky instead of just busting through and taking the money by force. Mad respect, fellas!"

The Squid initiates the Menagerie's assault by shooting streams of ink from his tentacles in an attempt to blind Spider-Man. The Web-Slinger, of course, simply dodges it with his sheer agility and counters by pulling himself towards the Squid with two web lines before slamming his feet into the Squid, knocking him down. The Hippo tries to crush Spider-Man with his immense strength, but Spidey jumps up and lets him trip over the Squid, squishing him instead.


 * Spider-Man: "Ouch! That's gotta hurt!"

Spider-Man's mobility makes it extremely hard for the Menagerie to keep track of him. Before the White Rabbit could shoot at Spider-Man with her collapsible assault rifle while instructing the others to get to the truck, Spider-Man webs up Panda-Mania and slams on to her, throwing her to the truck itself and giving her an unpleasant headache. When the White Rabbit shoots Spider-Man, the Web-Slinger's Spider-Sense kicks in and he dances around the bullets as if they're nothing, rapidly moving towards the Menagerie.


 * Spider-Man: "Boo!"
 * White Rabbit: "(Shocked) Ah!"

Spider-Man quickly disarms the White Rabbit and ducks underneath Ox's attempt to punch him, resulting in the Ox accidentally knocking out the White Rabbit himself. The frustrated Ox is left helpless as Spider-Man suddenly speeds up to him and crawls all over his body like a real spider, restraining his entire body with webs. The Swarm, on the other hand, proves himself to be a greater challenge, as Spidey is unable to effectively hit him due to his body composition. The Swarm, on the other hand, lets the Arachnid Hero's punches go through him while he unleashes poisonous punches upon him, stumbling Spider-Man.


 * The Swarm: "A million bees sting your flesh through your costume, Spider-Man! Even now, you must realize that--"

In a mere moment, Spider-Man pulls out a bomb-like device from his costume and throws it with his web at the Swarm. The bomb explodes, and a green mist suddenly envelops the Swarm's body, weakening him.


 * The Swarm: "W-What?! What have you done?!"
 * Spider-Man: "A little science project of mine. You'd be surprised how well bee repellent works when combined with knockout gases and an assortment of other chemicals, if you know what I mean."

The Swarm begins to get nauseous as he loses control over his body, which is composed of thousands of bees, many of whom are seen flying away from him. In a matter of minutes, the Swarm's body dissipates into nothingness. More accurately, the Swarm's constituent bees fly away from the scene, effectively eliminating him.


 * Spider-Man: "(Sighing in relief before looking at the Squid and Panda-Mania, who have recovered from their wounds and are charging at him) All in a day's work-- WHOA!"

Spider-Man dodges the Squid and Panda-Mania's blows and quickly responds by kicking Panda-Mania's face in a dance-like move and delivering a crushing uppercut at the Squid. The Squid's elastic body, however, means that Spider-Man's blow doesn't exactly register on him: a fact the Squid takes advantage of by restraining Spider-Man with his tentacles, immobilizing him in a spread-out manner.


 * The Squid: "(Slowly pulling apart Spider-Man's body and talking to him venomously) Any last words, Spider?"
 * Spider-Man: "(Groaning, struggling to put together his words) L-l-l-look... up."

The Squid, confused, looks up, and suddenly finds himself being shot by a number of tranquilizer bolts fired from an approaching helicopter tagged 'Code: Blue'. Reflexively, the Squid lets go of his to-be victim and hastily attempts to escape the scene, recognizing the meaning behind the helicopter's tag. Despite his attempt, Spider-Man quickly turns around and webs up the running Squid, sticking his legs to the ground as Code: Blue operatives touch the ground and approach the Squid. Although the Squid nearly succeeds in escaping from the webbing, the Code: Blue operatives finally knock him out by shooting him with more tranquilizers.


 * Code: Blue Operative #1: "We'll take it from here, Spider-Man. Thanks for your help."
 * Spider-Man: "No problem, Lieutenant Cole. In fact, I should be thanking you for the assist! Didn't expect the Squid to be giving me this much of a problem."
 * Code: Blue Operative #1/Lieutenant Cole: "Don't sweat it, Spider-Man. You know we're always here to help. You got other places to be?"

The Code: Blue agents round up the Menagerie and take them to their helicopter, wishing to contain them for the moment before a trial for their crimes can ensue.


 * Spider-Man: "(Takes a moment to think) Oh! It's Thursday, and it's... which means... oh no, I'm late! (Hastily) Sorry, catch you later, Cole!"

With that, Spider-Man web swings away from the bank and heads to his next destination, while Code: Blue continue their work. It cuts to Midtown High as Peter rushes in with a bagel in his mouth as he bumps into Principal Andrew Davis.


 * Principal Davis: "Peter Parker, you are so lucky that you have first period off. Where the hell have you been?
 * Peter Parker: "There was a bad traffic jam! I swore I was waiting for over an hour. Seriously sorry for being late Principal Davis."
 * Principal Davis: "This is starting to be a recurring pattern Parker. You're a smart mind, I don't want to fire you."
 * Peter Parker: "I won't be late again. I promise!"
 * Principal Davis: "Hurry now Parker, second period is about to begin."

Peter nods and rushes off as it cuts to his chemistry class as numerous students are sitting.


 * Peter Parker: "Good morning class. I can assume all of you have completed your study guides?”
 * Student 1: "Of course Mr. Parker."
 * Peter Parker: "Good. Because you know what comes after the study guide. The test."

Peter walks to the desks and picks up the study guides and placed tests in the place as he sits on the desk and begins grading. It cuts to a Code Blue prison transport as the Menagerie are sitting there while the helicopter flies as the White Rabbit just grins.


 * Lieutenant Cole: "Why are you smiling prisoner? You're arrested, going to spend the rest of the days in a jail cell."
 * White Rabbit: "Y'know, I'm not so sure of that. I have an employer, someone who wants things done. And well he wants me to rob an OsCorp laboratory. This heist was just the warm up. Get the cash to get explosives that can burst through the high security."
 * Lieutenant Cole: "Why are you telling me this?"
 * White Rabbit: "Ain't it obvious? You're not going to live long enough to spoil the surprise."

The other Code Blue operative suddenly stops the helicopter as it lands on a building as he grabs his gun and shoots Cole in the head and presses a button that frees the Menagerie as the door opens.


 * Operative Two: "Get out. Don't want my cover blown."

White Rabbit blows a kiss as she and the other Menagerie escape the helicopter as the operative flies off.


 * The Hippo: "How did you pull that off?"
 * White Rabbit: "Our boss wants that job done. He foresaw us possibly getting captured. Devised a plan B."
 * Panda-Mania: "And you didn't bother to tell us?"
 * White Rabbit: "I didn't expect we'd get caught. Come on now, we got some bombs to buy."

The Menagerie leave the roof. Later that night, Peter Parker returns home to his run-down apartment, the living room of which consists of a table, a TV, a sofa, and nothing else. On the sofa, his current roommate, Randy Robertson, is sleeping with a book over his face. Peter walks over and lifts the book, tapping Randy's head to wake him up and Randy looking around in a panic after he does.


 * Peter Parker: "You know, I never actually see you work, but you're always somehow more tired than I am, Rand..."
 * Randy Robertson: "Ha-ha... I have my own stuff that I do, you know."
 * Peter Parker: "Like what? Lounging around and waiting for your roommate to pay the rent?"

Randy fakes that he's about to punch Peter, Peter flinching back. Afterwards though, they share a laugh and Peter sits on the sofa next to him.


 * Peter Parker: "So, what are we watching?"
 * Randy Robertson: "Well, I was watching a documentary on the NFL SuperPro, but then I found out it was more about him being a superhero than a football star, so I kinda sacked out."
 * Peter Parker: "Oh, I've been meaning to check that one out, did you record it?"
 * Randy Robertson: "I didn't. Sorry, man."
 * Peter Parker: "Ack... Nah, it's cool. I guess I'll catch a rerun some time. Or maybe I could find it on Amazon. Amazon has basically everything."
 * Randy Robertson: "Except for something to teach you some damn manners, evidentally."
 * Peter Parker: "Are you mad I woke you up?"
 * Randy Robertson: "What gave it away...?"
 * Peter Parker: "(Moving his hand around) Flip through the channels, we'll probably find something to watch."

Randy flips through various channels on the TV, though both he and Peter clearly aren't very interested in anything that's on. After a moment, Peter's phone vibrates and he holds it up, spotting that the caller is Police Captain Yuri Watanabe. His eyes widen and he stands up.


 * Peter Parker: "I gotta take this."
 * Randy Robertson: "Is that a burner phone...?"
 * Peter Parker: "What?"
 * Randy Robertson: "Why do you own a burner phone...?"

Peter goes quiet.


 * Randy Robertson: "Peter?"
 * Peter Parker: "Work."
 * Randy Robertson: "What?"

Peter leaves without elaborating, almost certainly having made Randy suspicious he's a drug dealer or something. Peter presses the phone to his ear with his shoulder while running upstairs and trying to change into his suit, all at the same time.


 * Peter Parker: "Yuri! How's my favorite police captain doing?"
 * Yuri Watanabe: "Get down to the precinct, someone wants to talk to you."
 * Peter Parker: "Wow, cold open. From a scale of Grizzly to Doc Ock, how bad is it?"
 * Yuri Watanabe: "This isn't a great time for jokes, Spider-Man..."
 * Peter Parker: "Sorry, I joke when I'm stressed."
 * Yuri Watanabe: "You're always joking."
 * Peter Parker: "You're a smart woman, put two and two together."

Peter, now fully suited up, busts open the door to the ceiling and starts swinging off.


 * Spider-Man: "Alright, on my way."
 * Yuri Watanabe: "Hurry."

Peter leaps through the city and is very clearly having a good time doing so, jumping off of buildings, ducking through the cracks of signs, riding on the tops of cars, and more. A man working at a floral shop places a crate of flowers on to a table, only for the flowers to immediately be taken by Spidey. The man looks around in stunned disbelief, only for money to begin falling from the sky, him snatching it as fast as he can while happily waving goodbye to Spider-Man. At the presinct, Yuri Watanabe sits on the roof with her legs crossed on a plastic chair. She sighs and rests her head on her hand, clearly not in a very good mood. Behind her, Spider-Man lands on the roof door and waves, flowers in his other hand.


 * Spider-Man: "Hiya."
 * Yuri Watanabe: "You're late..."
 * Spider-Man: "Second time I've been late for something today."
 * Yuri Watanabe: "That's not something to be proud of..."
 * Spider-Man: "Says you."
 * Yuri Watanabe: "Indeed I do..."

Spider-Man drops down and puts the flowers in Yuri's lap. Yuri raises an eyebrow and lifts them up.


 * Yuri Watanabe: "...What's this?"
 * Spider-Man: "Flowers for my favorite captain."

Yuri remains quiet for a while, staring at the flowers.


 * Yuri Watanabe: "Um... Well, thank you... Spider-Man..."
 * ???: "Do you two flirt like this on the regular?"

Spider-Man turns around and sees a man in a police uniform standing at the roof door, smiling in an almost mocking manner. Yuri stands up and Spider-Man gestures over at the stranger, who approaches them.


 * Spider-Man: "Friend of yours?"
 * Yuri Watanabe: "Friend is a strong term."
 * Mystery Cop: "(Offering Spider-Man a handshake) Hi, I'm Lieutenant Stone of Code: Blue. I trust Captain Yuriko has filled you in on everything?"
 * Spider-Man: "Nope. Woman of few words, that Yuriko."
 * Yuri Watanabe: "(Groan) My name is Yuri, don't call me that..."
 * Spider-Man: "So, are you gonna fill me in now, Yuriko?"
 * Yuri Watanabe: "I hate you... (Gestures at Stone) But, Lieutenant Stone here is the founder of Code: Blue, the NYPD's branch dedicated to the handling of supervillain attacks. He's here to--"
 * Lieutenant Stone: "To talk about our earlier arrest of the criminal gang known as the Menagerie, headed by the White Rabbit."
 * Spider-Man: "I remember. You guys really saved my back with that one. What about them?"
 * Yuri Watanabe: "They escaped."

Spider-Man's head snaps towards Yuri and then back at Stone.


 * Spider-Man: "What? All of them?"
 * Lieutenant Stone: "Most of them. Half of their group was being transportated in a separate helicopter, so they're currently only down to White Rabbit, The Hippo, and Panda-Mania."
 * Spider-Man: "How did they get out?"
 * Lieutenant Stone: "They had a man on the inside. Officer Ford. He hijacked our helicopter and we chased him halfway to Brooklyn, but we caught him. He's in a holding cell in the lower levels of the building."
 * Yuri Watanabe: "Problem is though, we can't get him to talk. That's where you come in. We want you to use that... Spider Tingle--"
 * Spider-Man: "Don't call it that."
 * Yuri Watanabe: "--To detect when he's lying. And... maybe put your interrogation skills to the test."
 * Spider-Man: "I... don't know if my Spidey-Sense can do that."
 * Lieutenant Stone: "Well, it detects danger, right? Whenever the guy lies, he's putting other people's lives in danger. So, you could maybe try it out at least?"
 * Spider-Man: "I... I guess. I'll be honest though, I don't think this is gonna work."
 * Yuri Watanabe: "We're out of options..."
 * Spider-Man: "(Waving his hand dismissively) Oh, no, I'm still very much going to try this. This sounds awesome if it works."

Down in the holding cell, the now ex-officer Ford, murderer of Lieutenant Cole, sits with his hands cuffed to a table. He hears a creak and his head perks up, spotting Yuri Watanabe and Lieutenant Stone walking in. Ford responds with a defiant smile.


 * Ford: "Oh, what? Come for another round? You're not gonna get anything out of me. You should know by now..."

Both of the police officers step to the side, revealing Spider-Man standing behind them. Spidey, smiling behind his mask, nonchalantly waves at Ford, whose face immediately drops.


 * Ford: "Oh. Well, crap."

An unspecific amount of time later, Yuri sits in front of Ford, staring intensely at him while Stone stands in the corner and Spider-Man stands right behind Ford, who is sweating profusely.


 * Yuri Watanabe: "What was your motivation behind the murder of Lieutenant Cole?"

Ford doesn't respond and swallows his own spit. Yuri looks up at Spider-Man, who nods and crouches down to Ford's level.


 * Spider-Man: "Hey, Fordy. Can I call you Fordy? Did you know that the laws specifically state that you have a right to remain silent and that officers aren't allowed to issue any forms of torture or physical harm against you during interrogations?"
 * Ford: "(Nods) I went through training, of course I--"
 * Spider-Man: "And did you know I'm not a cop?"

Ford doesn't respond.


 * Spider-Man: "Y'know, Lieutenant Cole and I knew each other. We weren't close, but he'd always show up just in time to save me whenever I was in trouble. And from what I hear, you're the guy who's responsible for me... for, well... everybody never being able to see him again. So... (Leans in closer) Are you gonna talk or am I gonna need to toss you off of this building on a web over and over until you do. Or until the web breaks. Whichever comes first."
 * Ford: "...I killed Cole because Cole was the one who set the Menagerie free."

Yuri and Stone look over to Spider-Man, who stares down at Ford. Even with his mask on, it's evident that he is concentrating harder than ever and, after a long moment of silence, his head perks up.


 * Spider-Man: "It went off, he's lying."
 * Ford: "I'm telling the truth! He--"
 * Yuri Watanabe: "Why did you kill Cole, Ford?"
 * Ford: "I killed him because he... he was... he... I... I wanted to make my escape easier..."

Yuri looks up at Spider-Man, who nods approvingly, confirming that Ford is telling the truth.


 * Yuri Watanabe: "Is that the only reason?"
 * Ford: "...I also killed him because I needed to let the Menagerie free."
 * Yuri Watanabe: "Why did you do that?"
 * Ford: "For... for fun."
 * Spider-Man: "He's lying."
 * Ford: "For revenge on--"
 * Spider-Man: "He's lying."
 * Ford: "If I tell you why, I'll be killed."

Spider-Man nods.


 * Yuri Watanabe: "The Menagerie are a street gang. How are they powerful enough to have you killed?"
 * Ford: "Not by them... I can't say who... Don't make me say who, I'll die..."
 * Lieutenant Stone: "Just focus on the main case for now, we'll get back to that later."
 * Yuri Watanabe: "Right. Tell us, why were the Menagerie robbing that bank? What were they going to use the money for?"
 * Ford: "...Bombs."
 * Yuri Watanabe: "Bombs for what?"
 * Ford: "Bombs to... (Looks back at Spider-Man, remembering he can't lie) ...They're going to rob Oscorp."

Spider-Man's eyes widen in shock and horror.


 * Spider-Man: "(Thinking) Harry..."
 * Yuri Watanabe: "What are they going to steal?"
 * Ford: "I don't know... That's all I got told..."

There's a brief moment of silence before Spider-Man starts walking away, both Yuri and Stone seeming confused.


 * Yuri Watanabe: "Where are you going?"
 * Spider-Man: "I'm going to go stop a robbery. You coming?"

Yuri pauses for a moment before standing up.


 * Yuri Watanabe: "I am..."
 * Lieutenant Stone: "You two go on ahead. I'll call up Code: Blue and tell them to send some guys to back you both up."
 * Spider-Man: "Thanks, Stone. Yuri, try to keep up."

Spidey runs away, clearly about to go swinging again while Yuri sighs in annoyance.


 * Yuri Watanabe: "One of these days he's gonna take a car like a normal person..."
