2x18 - The Parent Trap
[Spider-Man] Whoo-hoo! I'm gonna win this by a nose.
No time for wise cracks.
What? But there's always time for wise cracks.
Don't make me sorry I picked you over the others today.
Focus on the mission.
Focus? Aw, shoot.
Parachute. [laughs] Pun.
Webs, attack pattern 26 delta.
Delta? That's greek to me.
[both grunt]
[laser guns zap]
Aw, pew-pew guns, I missed those pew-pew guns.
Good thing they missed me.
[grunts]
Incoming!
- Outgoing! - And more incoming!
[growls]
We need to show the Zodiac who's boss here!
Next plan?
[grunts]
Fight fire with big rocks. Nice job.
Only kind of job I do.
Beta team bug leader to alpha-eyepatch, omega.
Rogue cows at 1186'd, what's the 441? Over.
In english?
Are we sure running into a volcano looking for a bad-guy
version of the super-soldier formula is really the best plan?
If we don't get the Zodiac key in time,
Scorpio will use it to power his super-soldier machine
and make an army of indestructible superhumans.
And nobody wants that.
- Mission understood, sir. - Stay on point, webhead.
Stage two commencing now! Here come the troops.
Lock and load! We're going in!
We're pinned.
Think you two can make it through the side entrance?
[grunts]
There's a side entrance?
There's about to be.
Fury to tricarrier. Do it!
[Fury] We'll keep the Zodiac busy here. You two get that key.
And look out for Scorpio. He's deadly.
Last one in the monitor room is a rotten magma ball.
Man, Scorpio's mad scientists are into everything.
Future-tech. Doomsday weapons.
Pirating all the latest hit movies. So evil.
Any luck on your screens? What'd you find, oh, invulnerable one?
Those two Zodiac scientists working on that weapon?
Spidey, they're my parents.
That's gonna make for an awkward "bring your kids to work day".

Wait, your "parents" parents?
Like mom and dad style parents?
- Is there some other kind? - Well, actually, yeah.
I thought you told me
your parents died in a plane explosion years ago.
They did, at the hands of Scorpio. At least that's what I thought.
Sorry web-head, this just got personal. You're on the key alone.
I got to go find my mom and dad. Huh?
Nuh-uh. Those can't be your parents.
And besides, what about the key?
You know, our mission.
Your mission now.
I just got a new one.
[grunts]
Luke, nice punch!
Hold up. Hold... [radio beeps]
Gahh. Not now.
We've secured the perimeter.
Working to rendezvous with you. Have you located the key?
Yeah, but we also located something more important
on the security cameras. Power Man's parents. Here.
- Impossible. - Not-impossible. Very possible.
And it looks like they're helping build that super-soldier device.
Walter and Amanda Cage were SHIELD scientists.
The best. They would never side with Scorpio.
It must be a trap. Stay on mission.
Why does everyone keep telling me to stay on mission?
Because one of you is disciplined and follows orders,
and the other one is you.
Ouch.
Coulson out.
Power Man, watch out!
Nice job!
Only kind of job I do.
Yeah, swagger doesn't really work as well for me as you, huh?
Look, I appreciate the help, but you have a job to do.
Don't get in trouble because of me.
Coulson says there's no way your parents are here with Scorpio.
Well, call back and ask him
what he'd do if he thought they were his folks.
[strains]
They've got to be clones, or robots,
or some other kind of evil trappy...
[grunts] You want to stop throwing doors at me?
Sorry, not at you. Near you.
Come on, Luke. Protocol says we do the mission
then we get SHIELD to help find these "maybe parents."
If you were in my shoes would you follow protocol? Or your heart?
[Fury] Power Man.
Wow, did you just hang up on Fury?
Because you've never hung up on Fury.
Hanging up on Fury is like... [radio beeps]
[Fury] Spider-Man, report in!
Well, like something I would do. Heart it is.
But if we happen to come across the key on the way,
might keep us from losing our SHIELD allowance for the year.
And, behind you.
- Let me get that door for you. - Certified funny.
Hey, so, if Zodiac attacked
your parents' craft, then how did you survive it?
We'd been on vacation. Least I thought we'd been on vacation.
Turns out my folks were working on something
at a secret SHIELD facility.
We were flying back home when...
Mom? Dad? What's happening?
Amanda, there's no time left.
Get our precious cargo out of here.
[bomb beeps]
Doctor Cage, are you going to play nice or does this need to get messy?
What's happening?
I'm sorry we put you in this position, baby.
But you need to take this now. It'll protect you.
- Protect me from what? - Drink it.
[grunts]
- Mom! - We love you, sweetie!
Nooo! [screams]
[strains]
[Power Man] The transformation saved me from the fall.
I survived, but my parents... they weren't so lucky.
Nooo!
When the dust settled,
SHIELD looked all over for any trace of my folks. Nothing.
- But if Scorpio survived that blast... - Maybe your parents did, too.
Wow, for an invulnerable kind of guy,
I never would've pegged you to be so vulnerable.
No more time for mush, webs.
Let's see how vulnerable these chumps are.
- Time for O.P.S.! - O.P.S.?
Operation protect Spidey!
[strains]
Get the feeling we're getting close to something
these goat men don't want us getting close to?
Definitely! I recognize that door from the monitor.
[strains]
You got your key.
On it. You go do what you got to do,
but be careful just in case you're wrong about them.
I'll signal you my location. If they are my folks,
gonna need some help getting them out of here.
- And if they are with Scorpio? - Then they aren't my folks.
[radio beeps]
I'll answer it. You go reunite.
Spider-Man, about the Zodiac key...
I'm on mission, okay? Don't sweat it.
- Sheesh. Spidey out. - Don't...
Bingo. I know I'm good, but this is too easy.
Okay. Let's shed a little SHIELD tech on this situation.
[computer whirs]
Invisible laser web. Pretty sneaky.
Well, they don't call me Spider-Man for nothing.
[strains]
[beeps] [energy drones]
Who knew the key was powered by a king-sized cell phone charger.
[ceiling cracks]
Gah!
Do not hang up! New orders. Don't remove the key.
Repeat. Do not remove the key.
Oh boy.
See what happens when I stay on mission?
On the upside, I did get some big, new, gold bling.
Whoa!
[cries out]
[loud thud] [gasps]
What's shaking?
The ground. That you blowing up the place?
Yeah. If your parents really are in there,
they suddenly have way less escape time, sorry.
No biggie. I was trying to finesse this,
but you know what?
Violence is never the answer.
But sometimes muscle is!
[strains]
Truth is, I'm worried what Luke might find behind that door.
What if his parents have gone to the dark side?
Luke, I am your father.
Nooo!
Come on, you were thinking of that, too. [radio beeps]
You pulled the Zodiac key out of its charger?
What is this, opposite day?
Ooh! Is that an option?
No. Now get back to the tricarrier with that key. Pronto!
But Luke still hasn't found his...
We got hostiles. Fury out.
- Oh, Fury's about to pop an eye patch. - Moving as fast as I can.
Hey, don't laugh, but I'm kind of nervous.
What if they don't remember me?
What if they are evil now and start shooting at me?
If they're really your parents,
no matter what, they'll still love you.
Let's get that door open.
[strains]
Uh, Mr. and Mrs. Cage?
Who are you? Stay away from our work!
Or, what if they're evil and start shooting at you?
I look different now. Probably don't recognize me.
[gasps]
Well, that's easy enough to fix.
- Don't be afraid! He's your... - I'm your escort out of here.
- Yeah, and he's also your... - Your personal SHIELD agent,
- so you have nothing to fear. - Leave us alone.
I was trying to tell them.
It's the wrong time and place. I don't want my reunion like this.
Tell SHIELD to forget about us and get out of here!
We can't leave until we get the reward Scorpio promised us for our...
Scorpio's a liar! You can't trust him!
Open this door!
[Scorpio] If you insist, though I despise being called a liar.
- You have something of mine! - It's not your sense of humor.
[cries out]
I will not be taunted when I'm this close to my ultimate goal.
Which is what? Air conditioning?
Ah! [grunts]
I propose a trade.
Your cherished boss, my cursed brother, for the key. [beeps]
Can you imagine what will happen to Fury
and every living soul here when this volcano erupts?
- I'd rather not. - Give me my key!
[grunts]
No can do. I have a mission.
[grunts]
We both do.
[strains]
[grunts]
I leave with my key and my soldier serum system.
Power Man, he needs the key and the work your... uh...
the Cages are doing. Cover them. I'll cover you.
[grunts]
Easy way is: You step away from that device and come with me.
- We can't. - There's more at stake here
than you could possibly imagine.
Alright, then. We do this hard.
Give me that key! [yells]
[web thwips]
[grunts]
Don't worry, P.M. I'll handle this astrology lesson.
[grunts]
- Find the humor in this. - Ow! Hot.
Stinky. Unfunny.
Then let's see you joke away an entire army of super-soldiers!
Let's not.
[strains]
Not again. Never again!
[cries out]
Power Man!
Friend, flames, fire! Oh, this is not good!
- Spider, I'm sinking like quicksand here. - Have you out in a jiffy.
Hey. Whoa!
[Scorpio] Not likely.
[grunts]
The heat from the magma has turned the walls of that pit
into pure volcanic obsidian glass. Impossible to climb out.
Your friend will drown in it.
There's a lesson here somewhere.
[grunts]
I remember you losing a lot easier last time.
Well I remember you being just as pathetic.
- [Fury] Spider-Man. - Not now, Fury!
Scorpio is trying to bore me to death with inferior insults.
Scorpio? We're working our way to your position.
Not getting any cooler here!
Strike three! You're out of there!
Mr. and Mrs. Cage,
I don't know what Scorpio promised you, but...
He promised us our son. This is our only chance.
Said what about huh?
You thing we're helping that maniac because we want to?
Scorpio knows where our boy is.
He has him locked up in a cell somewhere.
He told us if we replicated the super-soldier work
we'd been doing for SHIELD, he'd give our son back to us.
Whatever he told you, it was a lie.
You did save your son. SHIELD found him.
He's not in any Zodiac prison, he's 100% safe.
[Power Man] Spidey!
Okay, maybe not quite a 100, but he's right...
- Spidey, last chance, man. - My webs melt.
And I'm not as thickskinned as you.
- I don't know how to save you. - And you won't.
Monster!
You never knew where our son was this whole time!
You dare attack me when i'm holding
the most powerful energy weapon on Earth?
Wait a minute. Energy, that's it!
Hey, horoscope!
Why don't you pick on someone your own sign?
With pleasure.
[grunts]
Hang on, Power Man!
We're about to put your invulnerability to the test.
[cries out]
[steam hisses]
[groans]
- Much better. But how did you... - Energy-induced mini-eruption.
Figured if I couldn't get down there,
I'd get the lava pit to belch you up here.
Heh. Science.
[Amanda Cage] You lied about my son?
You'll never have our work!
I can, and I will.
[strains]
If I can't have an army...
I'll be one!
"Power-Scorpio-Man"? Uh-oh.
We don't bust him now, there won't be anything left.
Time for a new O.P.S. Operation punch Scorpio!
- Come on, let's get you out of here. - Wait, that formula is...
Don't worry. If anyone can take down a super-soldier, it's...
[fighting sounds]
Dude's almost as strong as me. Almost.
Don't worry, webs. I got this.
You keep those V.I.P.'s safe.
You have to stop your friend. That serum is...
You heard the man. I have a new mission.
Power Man can handle this.
[grunts]
[growls]
That's what I'm talking about.
Wait, what am I talking about? Sweet Christmas.
This feels magnificent!
[grunts]
Uh, docs? Just how super is that serum?
We were trying to tell you.
It's not super. It's defective.
We did just enough work to try to find out if Scorpio
really knew where Luke was.
We're parents, but we're also SHIELD scientists.
We'd never hand a madman a viable weapon.
That one's a time bomb.
And none of us should be here when it blows.
Save your friend before it's too late.
[grunts]
Big guy, get up,
we've got a mission to complete, fast!
[growls]
You can't win! I'm growing stronger by the second.
And uglier.
Give it to me!
With pleasure!
[grunts]
Yoink!
That's for what you did to my parents!
[both] Parents?
Luke, look out!
Self-destruct averted. I love when that happens.
Luke?
Son, is it really you?
Your serum saved me. Just like you planned.
This isn't exactly how I wanted our family reunion to go,
- but I'll take it anyway. - Oh, honey.
I don't believe it, wow. Luke.
I'm calling it, best 'take your kid to work day' ever.
Weird. But best.
[Spider-Man] Luke's parents, saved and reunited.
Scorpio, de-powered and pulled out of his glass fishbowl, intact.
I bet Fury's going to give me a gold star or something.
What in blazes
were you two doing in that room with Scorpio?
- Staying on missions. Sir. - Missions?
Sure, this one and that one.
Walt? Amanda?
Wow, parents. That's big.
The biggest. Thanks, web-head.
Couldn't have had this without you.
And I wouldn't have been there if I hadn't followed my heart.
True that.
Hey, you feeling alright?
You took on a lot of energy at the end there.
Me?
Never felt better, my brother. Never felt better.
