Norman takes him aside and injects himself with the serum to become the Green Goblin for a short while then reverts back and explains to Peter that he will no longer be Spider-Man. That from now on Peter works for him and if he doesn't do as he says he will come after Aunt May and Mary Jane and then kill him slowly.
Peter is approached by Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. who tells him that Osborn wants Peter to kill him and that they have information on all sorts of things about him but no evidence of any wrongdoing so until he actually goes after Peter or his Aunt or Mary Jane there's nothing they can do, but that they will be watching.
