Act 3, Scene 12

Connors lab. He's showing Lynas the readouts of Spiderman's body.

CONNORS: I got the results of the detailed scans I ran only a few hours ago. Whatever this thing is, it's spreading throughout your friend's system...but not in his cerebral cortex. There it seems to be unable to spread nearly so quickly.

LYNAS: His mind is resisting control.

CONNORS: For now, yes. But the effects of the symbiote on the rest of the body are working like a drug. Soon he'll be convinced he can't function without it, and when he accepts that...

LYNAS: ...it'll control him completely.

CONNORS: Yes.

LYNAS: How long does he have?

CONNORS: As little as twenty-four hours. Maybe less.

LYNAS: So what do we do?

CONNORS: Damage the host enough and the symbiote will detach and seek another.

LYNAS: Damage Spiderman? How do we do that? He's evaded the entire NYPD.

CONNORS: I haven't the faintest idea.

Lynas seems about to say something when his mobile rings. He answers.

LYNAS: Yes? (pause) Central Park? Thank you. I'll be there. Good talking to you Doctor. I'll send you a grant.

He turns to go and remembers one more thing.

LYNAS: Who was the other?

CONNORS: Other?

LYNAS: When I asked you about unusual visitors, you said which one? So who was the other visitor, Doctor?
