Spider-Noir 1x1

1. [intriguing music playing]

2. [Ben] Someone once asked me what universe this was.

3. A strange question that

4. stuck with me all these years later.

5. All I could say for sure

6. was it was the only one I knew of.

7. And that was as true then as it is now.

8. Am I an extraordinary man?

9. Yes.

10. Am I an ordinary man?

11. Yes.

12. I'm both. I'm neither.

13. But aren't we all?

14. New York.

15. I grew up in this city.

16. - I learned to fight in this city. - [kids grunting]

17. Get him!

18. [Ben] And I fell in love in this city.

19. A mistake I'll never make again.

20. I used to be The Spider,

21. this city's hero.

22. Always on guard,

23. always ready to swoop in and save the day.

24. [grunting]

25. That ended when Ruby died.

26. We were going to be married in the spring.

27. I even bought a ring to make it official.

28. A ring I never had the chance to give her.

29. Ruby once told me that

30. with great power comes great responsibility.

31. {\an8}Well, she was the greatest responsibility

32. {\an8}I ever had.

33. And I failed her.

34. The Spider failed her.

35. After that, I didn't want the power or the responsibility.

36. So I went back to being just an ordinary man.

37. That was five years ago.

60. [quiet, indistinct chatter]

61. What do you think?

62. [woman] I think you got a bingo.

63. Say, you're kinda handsome.

64. Now I'm questioning your eyesight.

65. [chuckles]

66. Funny, too.

67. So, you got a wife?

68. - No. - Shame.

69. I got a husband.

70. Not that it's ever stopped me from having a good time.

71. Know what I mean?

72. I've got a decent idea.

73. When your husband gets the same idea, tell him to give me a call.

74. [woman] Hm. Okay.

75. [busboy] Excuse me, sir? Sir!

76. You forgot your hat.

77. Thank you.

78. You keep following me, it won't end the way you want it to.

79. It never does.

80. Addison!

81. [cars honking]

82. [thrilling music playing]

83. [grunts]

84. Sorry, pal. Hey.

85. Don't do it, Addison.

86. I'm as liable to shoot you as I am to give chase.

87. Damn it!

88. [people chattering]

89. [woman] Oh, my God, is he dead?

90. - [gasps] - [onlookers exclaim]

91. - [grunts] - Sir, sir, you shouldn't--

92. - You really shouldn't-- - Where did they go? Which way?

93. [high-pitched ringing]

94. [distorted, muffled voice speaking]

95. [man] It's not my fault you ripped off the wrong people, Addison.

96. Now, come on, let's go. It's getting late and it smells like shit back here.

97. I tried to warn you.

98. What?

99. Whoa.

100. Now you're gonna burn.

101. Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

102. - [grunting] - [whimpering]

103. Oh… Oh, no. Oh, my God! Oh...

104. Whoa, whoa! [grunts]

105. [Ben grunting]

106. Huh.

107. Okay.

108. [exclaims] Oh! That man was completely on fire.

109. I've never seen such a thing.

110. Should've known it was fishy they offered me 50 bucks

111. to track down a nobody.

112. Who hired you-- guy named Winston?

113. - Yeah. - Bastard only offered me 30.

114. I need a drink. You?

115. Sure. Nothing too fancy. All I got is--

116. Three bucks.

117. Come on, Donegal. I know a joint. [grunts]

118. Might even have a girl for you. If you like train wrecks.

119. Oh. I must,

120. 'cause I keep marrying 'em.

121. Morning.

122. It was.

123. Now it's a mediocre afternoon, headed towards

124. a lousy evening. Coffee?

125. You got anything a little harder?

126. That's what I keep asking my husband.

127. - You can just pour it right in. - That's just it--

128. you really can't.

129. - Any calls? - Well, to receive calls,

130. you got to pay Ma Bell.

131. Till then, that's just a paperweight.

132. How'd it go with Addison?

133. Oh, wow. That well, huh?

134. Addison's dead.

135. - You... - No.

136. - Some other guy. This goddamn city-- - [door opens]

137. You open?

138. - No! - Yes!

139. I tried calling, but it didn't

140. - seem to go through. - Mr.-Mr. Reilly believes that

141. business is better conducted face-to-face.

142. Wouldn't you agree, Mister…?

143. Uh, Carmedy.

144. Right this way, Mr. Carmedy.

145. It's about my wife.

146. You a rich man, Mr. Carmedy?

147. No. Not particularly.

148. Possessed of a keen wit, then?

149. Huh?

150. Huh.

151. Look, I heard my wife on the phone this afternoon.

152. She's gonna meet this so-and-so at 8:00 tonight.

153. I even got the address. Look, look, look.

154. I do love a client who comes prepared.

155. So you'll do it? You'll take the case?

156. Okay, Carmedy, my rate's ten dollars a day, plus--

157. But you'll get pictures, right?

158. Cause without pictures it's basically just a-a "he said, she said" situation.

159. I'm sure your suspicions are unfounded, Mr. Carmedy,

160. but if it comes to it, don't you fret, Ben's an ace photographer.

161. Never miss a shot.

162. Ten dollars a day.

163. Plus expenses.

164. Janet'll get your info and a small retainer.

165. Come back day after tomorrow and, uh… [clears throat]

166. I'll give you what you want.

167. [exclaims softly] Thank you. [chuckles]

168. [chuckles softly] Come on, Mr. Carmedy,

169. let's get that info and that retainer, huh?

170. [Carmedy laughs]

171. [quirky music playing]

172. Explosion at Standard Oil. Read all about it.

173. Explosion at Standard Oil.

174. Explosion, here, at Standard Oil.

175. - [entry bells jingle] - [door closes]

176. Sorry I'm late. I was chasing a story.

177. Some other mobster

178. is finally making a move on Silvermane.

179. Burned down his mansion a couple of nights ago,

180. killed six of his men,

181. and somehow, the old bastard escaped.

182. You think Finn Byrne likes being called Silvermane?

183. Thinks it speaks to-- I don't know-- gravitas and longevity?

184. [short chuckle] If I ever get that rich, you call me

185. - anything you want. - That-That's a used pickle. Uh...

186. So, what you hiding over there-- another cheating spouse?

187. Thought you said you weren't gonna take those anymore.

188. I haven't paid Janet in months. Beggars can't be choosers.

189. Says the man who has chosen to be a beggar. For Chrissakes, Ben--

190. Robbie, not today, okay? Not again.

191. Have you seen it out there?

192. The city's a mess.

193. Ever since The Spider disappeared,

194. Silvermane's got this city by the throat.

195. Crime is out of control

196. and the police are completely in his pocket.

197. Now, the people--

198. the people could use a hero.

199. Well...

200. I hope they find someone.

201. - You used to be-- - I know who I used to be.

202. And I know who I am now.

203. There's always gonna be another Silvermane, Robbie.

204. There's no point in fighting it.

205. I can't help but wonder what Ruby would think if she heard you talking like that.

206. [dramatic music playing]

207. [muffled grunting]

208. Ruby's been dead a long time.

209. I don't care what she'd think anymore.

210. Hey, Frankie, you're out early today.

211. Hey, Reilly, how you doing?

212. You know, I've been practicing my pocket tricks.

213. [Ben] Oh, yeah? How's that going?

214. [Frankie] You tell me. [wolf whistles]

215. Dames, huh?

216. What would you know?

217. Lots. I'm wise behind these ears.

218. Smarts like that, maybe think about going to school.

219. Who needs it? A plus B equals C.

220. - You don't do math with letters, kid. - [line ringing]

221. Donegal. Reilly.

222. Listen, I think we should talk about last night.

223. [Donegal] So, what's this proposition you got for me?

224. We left a man dead last night.

225. Feels like that could be trouble coming down the tracks

226. or an opportunity worth pursuing. Either way,

227. I think we should know more about who hired us

228. and why they wanted him so bad.

229. So you got a plan, then?

230. Kinda. Can you be sober by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow?

231. Oh, hi, handsome. Long time no see.

232. By the morning?

233. Mm... sure.

234. [newsie shouting] Get your evening edition.

235. Silvermane survives in skivvies.

236. Thank you, sir.

237. Hot off the presses.

238. Silvermane survives in skivvies.

239. [Robbie] Ever since The Spider disappeared,

240. Silvermane has had a chokehold on this city,

241. murdering anyone that gets in his way.

242. But one brave soul tried to free us

243. from the mobster's reign of terror,

244. setting fire to Silvermane's mansion

245. while he was asleep upstairs.

246. But he failed to kill the old bastard,

247. so brace yourself for a bloody rampage

248. from Silvermane and his goons.

249. If only The Spider were here

250. to save us from the madness.

251. Damn, Robbie.

252. Give it a rest, would you?

285. Save your breath, Reilly.

286. You told me you know where Addison is,

287. so take your money and talk.

288. Actually, the price has gone up.

289. Excuse me?

290. The other PI you hired told me offered him 50,

291. so I'm not telling you for a penny less than 200.

292. Cute.

293. But give me one good reason I shouldn't plug you.

298. Now, a guy like you in a suit like that--

299. you didn't cook this up on your own.

300. So, why don't you go back to whoever it is that sent you

301. and find me 200 dollars.

302. And then I'll tell you where Addison is.

303. - And I'll keep the .30 as a tip. - [clears throat]

317. He won't tell me where Addison is unless he gets more cash.

318. [Silvermane] Pay him whatever he wants.

319. The boys are convinced Addison's got some kind of powers.

324. Sadly, yes. Stepping into a steaming pile of dogshit

342. I do have one question, though.

343. Am I crazy or is that the goddamn mayor of New York?

344. [ominous music playing]

345. [mayor over speakers] I believe in you,

353. Like I said, your... wife

354. was alone the entire night.

355. What about 8:00 p.m.? The-the Redcliff? What was that all about?

356. Come on, Carmedy, smile. This is great news.

357. - No, I-I know, I know, I just... - I get it.

358. - Marriage can be a terrifying endeavor, - Oh...

359. opening yourself up to another person like that,

360. making yourself vulnerable.

361. I don't even feel good about taking your money.

362. - [Carmedy] Really? - Yeah.

363. Go home, Carmedy. You have a beautiful…[laughs]

367. - Yeah? - Now go home.

368. [chuckles weakly] Uh...

369. - [door closes] - We needed that money.

370. I don't know if you're aware, but there's a Depression going on.

371. I'm aware, but whatever that was, I want nothing to do with it.

372. Who do you think he was?

373. Who knows? Someone trying to smear the mayor.

374. And that woman-- if she's not Mrs. Carmedy,

375. then who the hell is she?

376. The only thing I can say with any certainty

377. is she isn't married to that syphilitic walrus.

378. [groans]

379. [muffled pulsing, warbling]

380. Another headache, huh? That sixth sense thing?

381. You should listen to it.

382. Long as I've known you it's never steered you wrong.

383. I'd love to. Trouble is I'm not currently sure what it's trying to tell me.

384. Hang on.

385. Oh, I can hear it.

386. It's saying...

387. "Pay your secretary." Except you can't,

388. 'cause you just gave away the only money we've made all month.

389. You're at the top of my list.

390. Yeah, well, you better do something about it soon.

391. I just interviewed for a sales position at Gimbels.

392. Blame my husband. He has this annoying habit

393. of demanding food on a daily basis.

394. What about selling the photographs to the woman?

395. You want to steer clear of the mayor, that's fine,

396. but maybe there's still some cash to be had.

397. [mischievous music playing]

398. Blackmail, huh?

399. That's not a terrible idea.

400. - It's not a good idea, - Ah.

401. but it's not a terrible idea.

402. [Robbie] Yeah, I shit you not,

403. she had me covered in whipped cream all the way up to here.

404. [chuckles] Girl, Robbie'll do anything to get the story.

405. Jesus, you look like shit.

406. More than usual, is what I'm saying.

407. - Nice to see you, too. - [Robbie] What's so important

408. it couldn't wait till I was back downtown?

409. Any chance you know who this is?

410. [Robbie] Ah, you must be joking.

411. Oh, that's Cat Hardy.

412. Back in the day, you wouldn't have had to ask.

413. Five minutes. Drawer three.

414. What are you looking for, anyway?

415. Uh, some poor sap got knocked off a few nights ago.

416. Friend gave me a tip something's off with the body.

417. Might be a story in it.

418. Say, uh, you might want to look away.

419. Any idea where I can find this Cat Hardy lady?

420. [Robbie] Oh, yeah.

421. Now, she is the star attraction over at The Alcove.

422. Huh. That is weird.

423. Say, does this look like a guy who died in a fire to you?

424. [Ben] No, but he sure as hell did. I was there.

425. And?

426. They ID him yet?

427. [Robbie] James Addison.

428. Shit.

429. So, if they know, the cops'll know,

430. and then Silvermane will know that Donegal is trying to rip him off.

431. Do me a favor. Hold off on printing that.

432. I want to warn a friend before he gets himself killed.

434. What? It's just a migraine. [groans]

439. Did this guy have super powers?

440. Is he like you?

441. Forget about it, Robbie. He's dead.

442. Did Donegal say when he'd be back?

443. [bartender] He didn't say shit.

444. That's what I told the other fellas and that's what I'm telling you.

445. If he comes in, tell him to meet Ben Reilly at The Alcove, 9:00 p.m.

446. Tell him it's important.

524. Uh, I shot him dead.

525. He had some kind of crazy powers.

526. - He burst into flames. - [Silvermane] And what about

527. the name of the man who hired Addison to kill me?

528. [whimpering] I, uh...

529. I don't know.

530. Fair enough.

531. It's all over.

532. It's done.

533. [Donegal wheezes]

534. [coughs]

535. [Silvermane] Go to the morgue.

536. Make sure Addison is really dead.

537. And bring me the other private dick.

538. Reilly? He don't know any more than this guy.

539. [Silvermane] Then he's got nothing to worry about then, does he?

540. - [indistinct chatter] - [band playing gentle jazz]

541. Do you mind?

542. Please.

543. I loved your performance.

544. Thanks, doll.

545. Is there somewhere we can talk?

546. Here suits me.

547. It's business.

548. I wasn't aware we had any, Mister…?

549. Reilly.

550. It concerns your trip to The Redcliff last night.

551. Flint.

552. Wh-- Now, I-I'm trying to help you.

553. - I-- - [low growl]

554. Mr. Reilly, I'd like you to meet my friend, Flint Marko.

555. - He's-- - A gorilla?

556. Do you mind?

557. - Slowly. - Oh, the ape speaks. Incredible.

558. I thought you might find that useful.

559. - Everything, okay, Ms. Hardy? - Yes.

560. Mr. Reilly's a very nice man, but he was just about to leave.

561. - Who told you that? - That you were leaving?

562. - That I'm nice. - Just a hunch.

563. Maybe you can confirm it by leaving without messing up Flint's tie.

564. He really struggles with a double Windsor and I just painted my nails.

565. Sharpened 'em, too.

566. And don't trouble yourself, Flint.

567. I'm happy to make my exit without either of your fists

568. busting my eye sockets.

569. Um, take another look at that and perhaps tomorrow

570. we can discuss the price of the negatives

571. over lunch. I might even pay,

572. seeing as I'm such a nice guy.

573. I suppose you think you're pretty clever.

574. No, actually, most days I think I should just

575. stick my head in the oven and get it over with.

576. Well, what's stopping you?

577. Simple. I'm a coward.

578. [tense music playing]

579. Spare some change for a hungry orphan boy?

580. I got to tail? White suit?

581. Sure do, mister. Thanks.

588. You don't even want to catch your breath?

589. Mister, despite what I do for a living,

590. I really don't enjoy hurting people.

591. Then don't.

630. [Janet] I can't

631. believe you gave her the negatives. And for free.

632. Don't you think you're overreacting?

633. No, Ben. [short chuckle]

634. This is what reacting looks like.

635. It's the physical response to a stimulus.

636. You just haven't felt it in half a decade.

637. That's actually my lamp. My-my... my aunt gave it to me.

638. You're afraid of the mob-- sure.

639. Don't want to piss off the mayor-- fine.

640. But a lounge singer?

641. I told you, there were extenuating circumstances.

642. I have given you so much room.

643. Airplanes have less runway.

645. you have to listen.
