Owner's Description
Synopsis: "Mysterioso: Part 3, Smoke & Mirrors"Mysterio has managed to con the Maggia in to moving all their cash to the old Empyrean Opera Theatre near the docks. They think they're laying a trap for Mr Negative's forces. Mysterio is setting them all up for a fall, and plans to flee with the cash. As he muses on the delightful irony of it all we cut to a diner and a meeting between Carlie Cooper and her father.Carlie isn't buying any of this. She can't believe that her father could be capable of all the deceptions that this 'Ray Cooper' is confessing to. She wants proof that he is really who he says he is. Ray says that he was turned bad by the injustice of the system. He didn't earn enough money to pay the medical bills for Carlie's mother. When she died he didn't feel that he owed 'the system' his loyalty anymore. Carlie seems to accept this, and hugs her father. Although this could be an excuse to slip a spider-tracer into his pocket.After the meeting, Carlie phones Peter Parker. She says leaves a message that he needs to pass on to Spider-Man. She then rebukes him for the way he constantly uses her and the rest of his friends to get what he wants. "I'm done being your go-to-gal."On the other side of the building, Mr Negative pulls himself out of the rubble. All in all this is a good day for him. His inner demons are broken, but they'll mend; unlike the Maggia who have been a effectively wiped out by the proceedings. He stalks off with a smug grin on his negative face.Outside, the fire brigade is keeping Watanbe and the police from entering the burning building. At the back of the crowd Carlie gets a text message on her phone: it's her father. Is she ready to flee with him? Is she?Meanwhile, Mysterio has given Spidey the slip and escaping the scene on a garbage barge with all the Maggia's money. Of course, Spidey doesn't give up that easily. He pulls himself out of the water in one last attempt to apprehend Mysterio. The unmasked Beck tells Spidey to let him go. All he wanted was one big score and he'll retire to a tropical island. After all only bad guys have died today. No harm done.Spidey doesn't buy it. Mysterio isn't about wealth or reward, it's all about the performance. He'll be back, and then more people will die. Mysterio shrugs; it was worth a try. As a distraction is fires a missile at the police on the dockside. Spidey snags it with a web line and directs it back to the barge. There's a massive explosion. In the ensuing confusion Mysterio escapes, but he does so without any of his ill-gotten gains. Spidey chalks it up as a partial win.On the dockside, Spidey talks to Carlie. He tells her that the tracer placed on her father gone silent. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Carlie is very grateful to him, and says that her office is clearing him on any involvement in the Maggia killings. Watanbe is furious: she found evidence that the next 'dirty cop' Mysterio planned to impersonate was Jean DeWolff.Watanbe says that she likes Spidey, and intends to give him as much support as she can. If he wants anything from the police he should come to her first. Spidey watches Carlie go and remembers everything that Peter Parker has put her through recently. He would be happy to take Watanbe up on that offer. At least it's honest.On a rooftop in Manhattan Mysterio is relaxing in a deck chair, sipping a cocktail in front of a large billboard plastered with the image of a tropical island. Of course, if it wasn't for Spidey he'd have the money to be on a real tropical island. The master of illusions is making do. He is approached by the Chameleon, who extends Mysterio an invitation to a hunt.Released: February 10, 2010
