1. Higher, Virgil.
Copy !req
2. See if you can find
a bigger ladder.
Copy !req
3. Never mind, Sharon,
I got it.
Copy !req
4. How come every time you
volunteer for something
Copy !req
5. I end up doing the hard part?
Copy !req
6. Don't be such a crybaby.
Copy !req
7. You should be honored
to help.
Copy !req
8. Hardly, Sharon.
Copy !req
9. I am honored to have
your assistance.
Copy !req
10. Hey, Dr. Anoyke. I was about to
take off to go do my homework.
Copy !req
11. Before you go, wouldn't you
like a peek at the exhibit?
Copy !req
12. click click click
Copy !req
13. They're beautiful!
Copy !req
14. And priceless as well.
Copy !req
15. They are from the ruins of
an ancient Ashanti palace.
Copy !req
16. I excavated it soon after your
family visited West Africa.
Copy !req
17. So, how old are they?
Copy !req
18. Carbon dating can't tell us
when the pieces were made
Copy !req
19. but they are perhaps
as old as 1000 years.
Copy !req
20. Excuse me.
Copy !req
21. Uh, this is Dr. Anoyke.
Copy !req
22. 'I have arrived
at the airport.'
Copy !req
23. 'Do you have the item?'
Copy !req
24. I do. Come quickly.
Copy !req
25. The sooner it is out of
my hands and in yours
Copy !req
26. the better.
Copy !req
27. Sharon.
Copy !req
28. It is late,
you must go, now.
Copy !req
29. You're being kind of rough
There aren't you, doc?
Copy !req
30. I can handle this
myself, little brother.
Copy !req
31. Come on, if he wants
us to go, we'll go.
Copy !req
32. But you could be a little
more polite about it, doctor.
Copy !req
33. Especially, after all my work.
Copy !req
34. Come on.
Copy !req
35. Looking for me I pres-s-sume?
Copy !req
36. I am Onini the Python.
Copy !req
37. Save yourself a
great deal of trouble
Copy !req
38. and hand it over to me.
Copy !req
39. I do not know what
you are talking about.
Copy !req
40. Aah!
Copy !req
41. 'The more I think
about it, the madder I get!'
Copy !req
42. He even shut
the door in my face.
Copy !req
43. I've never seen
him act that way.
Copy !req
44. Seemed like he was
upset about something
Copy !req
45. or maybe scared.
Copy !req
46. You're taking his side?
Copy !req
47. I'm not, I'm just
saying.. Oh, man!
Copy !req
48. I left my backpack
at the museum.
Copy !req
49. Do what you want.
Copy !req
50. I'm not going back there
and getting my head bit off.
Copy !req
51. Where is-s-s it, doctor?
Copy !req
52. Ah!
Copy !req
53. Ah!
Copy !req
54. Give it to me!
Copy !req
55. It is no longer here.
Copy !req
56. You will tell me where
you have hidden it.
Copy !req
57. Talk!
Copy !req
58. 'To be fair..'
Copy !req
59. it'd be a lot easier
for him to talk
Copy !req
60. if you'd stop squeezin' him.
Copy !req
61. S-S-Static!
Copy !req
62. S-s-surprise!
Copy !req
63. Sorry, doc, I had to
get him to let you go..
Copy !req
64. Ohh!
Copy !req
65. This does not concern you.
Copy !req
66. You set off the silent alarm
Copy !req
67. when you ripped open the display
case, snakes-for-brains.
Copy !req
68. He must work out.
Copy !req
69. Doesn't matter.
We got him outnumbered.
Copy !req
70. Count again.
Copy !req
71. zap zap zap
Copy !req
72. Thanks.
Uh, you better take him.
Copy !req
73. I'm allergic to bee stings.
Copy !req
74. Who isn't?
Copy !req
75. Ah!
Copy !req
76. 'That should take care of..'
Copy !req
77. zap zap zap
Copy !req
78. What I wouldn't give
for a jumbo flyswatter
Copy !req
79. right about now.
Copy !req
80. This is taking too long.
Copy !req
81. Mmoboro we need
a dis-s-straction.
Copy !req
82. zap
Copy !req
83. I gotcha.
Copy !req
84. boom
Copy !req
85. Doctor? Doctor?
Copy !req
86. You better call an ambulance.
Copy !req
87. Backpack's already on it.
Copy !req
88. 'I don't get it.'
Copy !req
89. Near as the police can tell,
nothing was stolen.
Copy !req
90. Maybe we scared 'em off.
Copy !req
91. Yeah, they looked terrified.
Copy !req
92. I am sorry, my friend,
I was too slow to save you.
Copy !req
93. But perhaps there is still time
to save the spider.
Copy !req
94. Yeah, I think those guys
have the right idea.
Copy !req
95. I'm dangerously
close to curfew.
Copy !req
96. You wouldn't have a curfew
if you hadn't
Copy !req
97. blown up your garage.
Copy !req
98. Those compounds were
theoretically stable.
Copy !req
99. You go ahead. I want to see
if I can find any more clues.
Copy !req
100. You got it.
Copy !req
101. I thought they
would never leave.
Copy !req
102. Anansi, what are
you doing here?
Copy !req
103. I have come for your
assistance, young friend.
Copy !req
104. Anything. How can I help?
Copy !req
105. Break into that museum.
Copy !req
106. Uh..
Copy !req
107. zap
Copy !req
108. 'You do not have it. Explain.'
Copy !req
109. The doctor has-s-s
hidden it.
Copy !req
110. Then, Static arrived and
we were forced to retreat.
Copy !req
111. You fear the wrong person.
Copy !req
112. Static's wrath is nothing
compared to my own.
Copy !req
113. We're sorry, Osebo.
Copy !req
114. Do not apologize. Find it!
Copy !req
115. As you say, Osebo.
Copy !req
116. We have eyes everywhere.
Copy !req
117. Oops! What in the world?
Copy !req
118. It's from the exhibit.
Copy !req
119. How'd I end up with..
Copy !req
120. 'Sharon, are you home?'
Copy !req
121. knock knock knock
Copy !req
122. Yes, daddy, just a minute.
Copy !req
123. Huh?
Copy !req
124. Sharon.
Copy !req
125. You do realize it's your
night to do the dishes?
Copy !req
126. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
127. Well, stop staring
at your nails
Copy !req
128. and go clean up the kitchen.
Copy !req
129. Ta-da!
Copy !req
130. Don't worry, I already
shut down the alarms.
Copy !req
131. They didn't waste
any time fixin' that.
Copy !req
132. I still can't figure out
why they didn't take anything.
Copy !req
133. But they did. A golden
spider with incredible powers.
Copy !req
134. In fact, it is the
source of my powers.
Copy !req
135. Where is he?
Copy !req
136. - We need to talk.
- Huh?
Copy !req
137. You've been neglecting
your chores for days.
Copy !req
138. 'Maybe the volunteer work
at the museum '
Copy !req
139. 'is too much for you.'
Copy !req
140. N-no, daddy, that's not it.
Copy !req
141. I-I just don't have
time right now.
Copy !req
142. - Why not?
- I c-can't really explain.
Copy !req
143. Then I can't really
let you off the hook.
Copy !req
144. Dishes.
Copy !req
145. Now.
Copy !req
146. Hello.
Copy !req
147. Hmm.
Copy !req
148. For my next trick..
Copy !req
149. Much better.
Copy !req
150. Oh, Sharon.
Uh, Virgil's not here.
Copy !req
151. I'm not looking for Virgil,
nerd boy.
Copy !req
152. I'm looking for you.
Copy !req
153. I have found the gold spider.
Copy !req
154. - 'That's from the museum?'
- Must be.
Copy !req
155. But I don't know what it is.
Copy !req
156. These are all books
I bought in Africa.
Copy !req
157. There's lots of stuff about
Ashanti Gold in there
Copy !req
158. but nothing about spiders.
Copy !req
159. And that's where I come in.
Copy !req
160. Right. So get on the computer.
Search the engine.
Copy !req
161. - Crunch the numb—
- Sharon.
Copy !req
162. - Yeah?
- I found it.
Copy !req
163. - Really?
- 'Yeah. Listen to this.'
Copy !req
164. This story belongs
to Kwaku Anansi
Copy !req
165. as do all stories.
Copy !req
166. Once there was a very clever
spider named Kwaku Anansi
Copy !req
167. who wished to have
the power of storytelling.
Copy !req
168. The Sky King,
who owned all things
Copy !req
169. made a bargain with Kwaku.
Copy !req
170. "Bring me three evildoers
and in return
Copy !req
171. I will give you that power."
Copy !req
172. So brave Kwaku
set out to bring
Copy !req
173. the Sky King
what he asked for.
Copy !req
174. Kwaku tricked Mmoboro,
the stinging hornet
Copy !req
175. into a gourd.
Copy !req
176. Kwaku tricked Onini,
the bullying python
Copy !req
177. and tied him to a stick.
Copy !req
178. Kwaku tricked Osebo,
the greedy leopard
Copy !req
179. who fell into a pit.
Copy !req
180. The Sky King was pleased.
Copy !req
181. He granted the spider
his request.
Copy !req
182. And with the power
of storytelling
Copy !req
183. came the power of illusion.
Copy !req
184. Is the gold spider Kwaku?
Copy !req
185. No. Kwaku made the gold spider
to hold his powers.
Copy !req
186. And, in each generation,
passed those powers
Copy !req
187. from one hero to the next.
Copy !req
188. But the original spider
had been lost
Copy !req
189. for hundreds of years.
Copy !req
190. until Dr. Anoyke found it
in the Ashanti ruins.
Copy !req
191. What happens if Osebo gets it?
Copy !req
192. He could drain my powers
back into the spider.
Copy !req
193. But worse, he would have
powers equal to mine.
Copy !req
194. Well, you obviously
still have your powers
Copy !req
195. so maybe he doesn't have it.
Copy !req
196. Then where would it be?
Copy !req
197. One way to find out.
Copy !req
198. - Aah!
- Told you it works.
Copy !req
199. I can make anything with it.
Copy !req
200. Uh, I believe you!
Make it stop!
Copy !req
201. Last thing I need is having
to explain to my folks
Copy !req
202. how the llama poo
got in my room.
Copy !req
203. I just realized
how I got this.
Copy !req
204. Dr. Anoyke must have
slipped it into my jacket
Copy !req
205. when he kicked me
out of the museum.
Copy !req
206. But why?
Copy !req
207. We could call him at
the hospital and ask.
Copy !req
208. Why would he be
at the hospital?
Copy !req
209. Uh..
Copy !req
210. You can ask him yourself
when you join him there.
Copy !req
211. Now the llama
doesn't seem so bad.
Copy !req
212. Stay back!
Copy !req
213. Richie!
Copy !req
214. Whoa! Uh!
Copy !req
215. And I used to want
to wanna be a fireman.
Copy !req
216. Give me the spider, girl.
Copy !req
217. How 'bout I give you this?
Copy !req
218. boom
Copy !req
219. Clever. You have discovered
the spider's power.
Copy !req
220. That's not supposed to happen.
Copy !req
221. Or perhaps you do not fully
understand what you hold.
Copy !req
222. The spider only grants
you the power of illusion.
Copy !req
223. You do not deserve it!
Give it to me!
Copy !req
224. Where? I do not have
time for your games!
Copy !req
225. Aah! Put me down! Let me go!
Copy !req
226. Put me down! Hey! Help!
Copy !req
227. Aw, come on.
Copy !req
228. The doctor's gonna be
under guard.
Copy !req
229. Hope we can convince the
police to let us talk to him.
Copy !req
230. Follow my lead.
Copy !req
231. Heh! You have no idea how
happy you just made my pops.
Copy !req
232. Why do I even bother?
Copy !req
233. Once again,
what's the diagnosis?
Copy !req
234. Uh, eh, the disease
presents itself as a, um..
Copy !req
235. Mitochondrial conflagration.
Copy !req
236. Good. Course of treatment?
Copy !req
237. Well, first we'll
check the status
Copy !req
238. of the patient's
health insurance
Copy !req
239. then incubate with something.
Copy !req
240. Interns.
Copy !req
241. Dr. Anoyke.
Copy !req
242. It's you, Anansi.
Copy !req
243. Are you gonna be okay?
Copy !req
244. Yes, thanks to you.
Copy !req
245. And the spider?
Do you have it?
Copy !req
246. No, but it is safe.
Copy !req
247. I hid it in my
assistant's pocket.
Copy !req
248. Your assistant?
Copy !req
249. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
250. Static, it's Gear.
I got some bad news.
Copy !req
251. 'What now?'
Copy !req
252. Your sister's been
snatched by a tiger guy.
Copy !req
253. Osebo! He's not a tiger,
he's a leopard.
Copy !req
254. Then why does he have stripes?
Leopards don't have—
Copy !req
255. - Focus, Gear!
- 'Right.'
Copy !req
256. I tagged him
with a tracer.
Copy !req
257. You should be able to follow.
Copy !req
258. We're on our way.
Copy !req
259. I, too, have often
wondered about the stripes.
Copy !req
260. If you do not give
me the spider
Copy !req
261. I promise you that the
consequences will be dire.
Copy !req
262. What are you gonna do?
Kidnap me and put me in a cage?
Copy !req
263. I do enjoy your spirit.
Copy !req
264. but my patience
is wearing thin.
Copy !req
265. Mmoboro!
Copy !req
266. - Have you ever been stung?
- J-just by old boyfriends.
Copy !req
267. Here! Hope it gives you
a rash!
Copy !req
268. You'll forgive me
if instead I use it
Copy !req
269. to destroy my greatest enemy.
Copy !req
270. Whoa! So you're the spider guy.
Copy !req
271. I expected you to
swing in on a web.
Copy !req
272. I get that a lot.
Copy !req
273. - Where are they?
- Inside.
Copy !req
274. Man, it's awfully quiet.
Copy !req
275. Sure this is the right place?
Copy !req
276. Pretty sure.
Copy !req
277. Very good, Anansi.
Copy !req
278. I expected no less from you.
Copy !req
279. Return the spider.
It belongs to me.
Copy !req
280. There is an American expression
Copy !req
281. "Finders keepers."
Copy !req
282. Take care of the others.
Copy !req
283. Osebo is mine.
Copy !req
284. Over here.
Copy !req
285. Thank you for your assistance.
Copy !req
286. Were you silent, I might
never have found you.
Copy !req
287. Static, how about
you take the snake guy?
Copy !req
288. Never mind! False alarm.
Copy !req
289. Come on! Is that all you got?
Copy !req
290. I'm a human
bug zapper over here.
Copy !req
291. Whoa!
Copy !req
292. Perhaps this will prove
more of a challenge.
Copy !req
293. Hold that pose.
Copy !req
294. Good job.
Copy !req
295. Ahh! Ahh!
Copy !req
296. Oh, man.
Copy !req
297. thud
Copy !req
298. boom
Copy !req
299. The illusions are more
difficult now, aren't they?
Copy !req
300. Perhaps it is because I
have been using the spider
Copy !req
301. to drain your powers.
Copy !req
302. I can still fight.
Copy !req
303. Ohh!
Copy !req
304. You are weak.
Copy !req
305. I am strong enough
for one final trick.
Copy !req
306. Huh?
Copy !req
307. Here, kitty, kitty.
Copy !req
308. Talk about your static cling.
Copy !req
309. You know, I hear fabric
softener's real good for that.
Copy !req
310. Tryin' to help some people.
Copy !req
311. I think this belongs to you.
Copy !req
312. Yes.
Copy !req
313. And from this day forward
Copy !req
314. it will always remain with me.
Copy !req
315. I am forever in your
debt, dear lady.
Copy !req
316. Heh-heh. It's okay.
Copy !req
317. This was really exciting.
Copy !req
318. I actually had a good time.
Copy !req
319. - Except..
- Yes?
Copy !req
320. I can't help thinking
I'm forgetting something.
Copy !req
321. Oh, don't worry, ma'am,
the boy who was with you
Copy !req
322. when you were attacked
is just fine.
Copy !req
323. - I saw to that.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
324. But I-I don't think that was it.
Copy !req
325. - Hello?
- 'Sharon?'
Copy !req
326. 'This is your father.
Heh heh. Guess where I am?'
Copy !req
327. I'm in the kitchen,
looking at the dirty dishes.
Copy !req
328. The dishes you're
gonna be washing
Copy !req
329. 'every night
for the next month!'
Copy !req
330. Oh, yeah. Now I remember.
Copy !req
331. Heh.
Copy !req
