1. 'It's a neglected sense,
hearing.'
Copy !req
2. 'And it shouldn't be.'
Copy !req
3. 'Because all too often,
our first warning of danger'
Copy !req
4. 'is sound.'
Copy !req
5. Shreeve, what are you
trying to..
Copy !req
6. Shreeve!
Copy !req
7. 'See, Mr. Powers?'
Copy !req
8. Just an illusion.
Copy !req
9. - I knew that.
- Of course.
Copy !req
10. But after all the research
money you've given me
Copy !req
11. I thought you deserved
a demonstration.
Copy !req
12. Frankly,
I was hoping for more.
Copy !req
13. More, you say?
Copy !req
14. Look at this sound suit.
I just finished it.
Copy !req
15. 'It's got four built-in
sound generators..'
Copy !req
16. How's it any better
then an old boom box?
Copy !req
17. Different kind of boom.
Copy !req
18. Watch.
Copy !req
19. It generates
ultra low-frequency vibrations
Copy !req
20. which I can aim
in any direction.
Copy !req
21. Imagine the time and effort
this suit would save
Copy !req
22. construction workers,
road builders.
Copy !req
23. - Dynamite's cheaper.
- But..
Copy !req
24. Shreeve, you're just not
a practical guy.
Copy !req
25. All that's ever mattered
to you is your research
Copy !req
26. which is why
I had to bail out your company.
Copy !req
27. And now it's time for me
to see some return
Copy !req
28. on my investment.
Copy !req
29. I want you to solve
a problem for me.
Copy !req
30. What?
Copy !req
31. Not what, who.
Copy !req
32. This company has always
meant a great deal to me.
Copy !req
33. But now, I'm ashamed of it.
Copy !req
34. Ashamed of the way
it's forgotten its history.
Copy !req
35. Ashamed of how
it's going to rip the heart
Copy !req
36. out of this city.
Copy !req
37. I'm referring to a plan
by the current leadership
Copy !req
38. of Wayne-Powers,
to purchase Gotham City's
Copy !req
39. historical district
and then bulldoze it
Copy !req
40. to make room for another
soulless industrial complex.
Copy !req
41. Is that what we want?
Copy !req
42. Or do we want a city
that rembers its history?
Copy !req
43. A city where ideals
flow from the past..
Copy !req
44. defing our present
and shaping our future.
Copy !req
45. The old boy's
in rare form today.
Copy !req
46. He's been on me
for weeks about this.
Copy !req
47. But it won't be lasting
much longer.
Copy !req
48. - Why not?
- Because—
Copy !req
49. Mister Chairman,
I move we convene
Copy !req
50. a stockholders' meeting
next week
Copy !req
51. so this matter
can be put to a vote.
Copy !req
52. Second!
Copy !req
53. - Yes.
- Yes.
Copy !req
54. Alright.
Copy !req
55. I'll notify the stockholders.
Copy !req
56. Meeting adjourned.
Copy !req
57. - How'd it go?
- The way I wanted.
Copy !req
58. Must've been pretty important
to get you out of that house.
Copy !req
59. Especially in daylight.
Copy !req
60. I'll show you.
Copy !req
61. The City Council's been trying
to preserve this area.
Copy !req
62. But you know what it's like
getting extra tax money.
Copy !req
63. Why spend it on this?
I mean, it's old.
Copy !req
64. - Who cares?
- I do.
Copy !req
65. That theater, it was where
my parents and I went
Copy !req
66. the night they were..
Copy !req
67. I'd think you'd want it
to be torn down.
Copy !req
68. So maybe after all these years,
you could finally forget.
Copy !req
69. Do you want to forget
what happened to your father?
Copy !req
70. Something's buggin' the mutt.
Copy !req
71. Easy, boy. Easy.
Copy !req
72. What's the matter, boy?
Copy !req
73. Earthquake?
Copy !req
74. Not like any
I've ever been in.
Copy !req
75. Well, whatever it is,
I could think of better places
Copy !req
76. to be right now.
Copy !req
77. - You know this guy?
- Sorry, not one of mine.
Copy !req
78. Watch out!
Copy !req
79. Aah! Aah!
Copy !req
80. Ugh!
Copy !req
81. So much for memories.
Copy !req
82. Mr. Wayne!
Copy !req
83. 'Now, now, Mr. Wayne'
Copy !req
84. 'you know you have to take—'
Copy !req
85. 'I said get out!'
Copy !req
86. You can go in now,
If you want to.
Copy !req
87. 'Can you believe it?'
Copy !req
88. They wanna keep me
in here overnight!
Copy !req
89. Why don't you relax
and make it a little vacation?
Copy !req
90. And while you're here,
I'll figure out
Copy !req
91. who that guy in the suit was.
Copy !req
92. So, you're a detective now?
Copy !req
93. Been watching you long enough.
Copy !req
94. Besides, I got a lead.
Copy !req
95. How was I suppose to know
Batman would be there?
Copy !req
96. Batman's everywhere these days.
Copy !req
97. Everywhere.
Copy !req
98. At least, I knocked down
Copy !req
99. one of those buildings for you.
Copy !req
100. Well, whoopty-doo.
Copy !req
101. It's the land I want
Copy !req
102. and unless I can shut Wayne up
Copy !req
103. the stockholders will never
authorize the purchase.
Copy !req
104. Don't worry. Next time,
I'll get him. Guaranteed.
Copy !req
105. Haven't you been listening?
It's over.
Copy !req
106. Wayne's in the hospital now
with guards.
Copy !req
107. There's no way
you can get to him.
Copy !req
108. I wouldn't be so sure of that.
Copy !req
109. Bruce..
Copy !req
110. Who's there?
W-where are you?
Copy !req
111. There's something
you must do.
Copy !req
112. Okay, we know it's some
kinda sound generator.
Copy !req
113. So, now what?
Copy !req
114. Computer, analyze the metal
this thing's made of.
Copy !req
115. Computer?
Copy !req
116. 'Incorrect command.'
Copy !req
117. Uh, do the thing
where you figure out
Copy !req
118. what it's made of.
Copy !req
119. 'Request for spectrographic
analysis.'
Copy !req
120. Uh, yeah, that's it.
What you said.
Copy !req
121. 'Analysis proceeding.'
Copy !req
122. "Copper, iron
and, uh, acoustium?"
Copy !req
123. Computer, acoustium.
Copy !req
124. "A new alloy that amplifies
sound vibrations."
Copy !req
125. Makes sense.
Copy !req
126. "Developed by Shreeve
Sound Laboratory, Gotham City."
Copy !req
127. And the old man thought
I couldn't do this stuff
Copy !req
128. on my own.
Copy !req
129. Go away!
I don't wanna hear you!
Copy !req
130. It's for your own good.
Now, get up.
Copy !req
131. Go to the window.
Copy !req
132. What for?
Copy !req
133. Go!
Copy !req
134. Open it.
Copy !req
135. Open it.
Copy !req
136. You know what you have to do.
Copy !req
137. Who are you?
Copy !req
138. Why are you saying
these things to me?
Copy !req
139. I want to help you. I'm you.
Copy !req
140. No.
Copy !req
141. Who else could I be?
Copy !req
142. You can't be me!
Copy !req
143. Do it.
Copy !req
144. Mr. Wayne!
What's wrong?
Copy !req
145. Voices. Listen.
Copy !req
146. Voices?
Copy !req
147. Can't you hear them?
Copy !req
148. Maybe you should
get back to bed.
Copy !req
149. Orderlies! Orderlies!
Copy !req
150. Do it.
Copy !req
151. - Can I help you?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
152. - Here's your pizza, chief.
- I didn't order anything.
Copy !req
153. Huh? Well, this is the address
I wrote down.
Copy !req
154. There must be
some kinda mistake.
Copy !req
155. Yeah. Mine.
And now I gotta pay for it.
Copy !req
156. Extra large.
Copy !req
157. Too big for one person.
Copy !req
158. Sound engineer, huh?
Copy !req
159. That must be the coolest job
in the world.
Copy !req
160. There are good days
and bad days.
Copy !req
161. What's this?
Copy !req
162. Put it to your ear.
Copy !req
163. Hey, music.
Copy !req
164. A microfilm
and transmitter receiver.
Copy !req
165. - Picks up radio signals.
- Cool.
Copy !req
166. - What's this do?
- Don't touch that!
Copy !req
167. - What was that?
- Sound masking.
Copy !req
168. See, sound moves in waves.
Copy !req
169. The masker instantly
plays back
Copy !req
170. whatever sound it picks up.
Copy !req
171. Slightly out of phase.
Copy !req
172. So the waves
cancel each other out.
Copy !req
173. No waves, no sound.
Copy !req
174. - Shway.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
175. Now, it's getting late
and I still have
Copy !req
176. things to do, so..
Copy !req
177. Uh, wait,
what about those, you know
Copy !req
178. sound vibrations?
Copy !req
179. - Sound vibrations?
- 'Yeah.'
Copy !req
180. 'Heard about 'em
the other day.'
Copy !req
181. 'Someone can knock over a tree?'
Copy !req
182. So they say.
Copy !req
183. So, uh, you know
anything about 'em?
Copy !req
184. - Ugh!
- Who are you?
Copy !req
185. What do you really want?
Copy !req
186. Hey, man,
I didn't mean nothin'.
Copy !req
187. You wanna know
about sound vibrations?
Copy !req
188. Would you like to see
how they can split your skull?
Copy !req
189. There's no way out!
Copy !req
190. Hold it right there!
Copy !req
191. What happened?
Is he alright?
Copy !req
192. He is in the psych ward.
Copy !req
193. - He started hearing voices.
- Voices?
Copy !req
194. Age can do tragic things
to a person.
Copy !req
195. But, I wouldn't worry
about it.
Copy !req
196. He is going to be
in the best of hands.
Copy !req
197. Mine.
Copy !req
198. Who else can take care
of his affairs?
Copy !req
199. He has no wife, no children.
Copy !req
200. Me. I could do it.
Copy !req
201. - Awfully young, aren't you?
- Awfully slimy, aren't you?
Copy !req
202. Careful. The courts are
very strict about slander.
Copy !req
203. Yeah? Then let's see
how they handle assault.
Copy !req
204. You should know something
about the psych ward here.
Copy !req
205. There's always room
for one more.
Copy !req
206. The police know about me.
Copy !req
207. I'm a wanted man.
Copy !req
208. I can never go back
to my lab again.
Copy !req
209. And it's all your fault.
Copy !req
210. That's not going to help.
Copy !req
211. No, but it'll
make me feel better.
Copy !req
212. You should be feeling fine,
anyway.
Copy !req
213. And why is that?
Copy !req
214. Because your costume
gives you power.
Copy !req
215. Real power.
Ever had that before?
Copy !req
216. No. Not really.
Copy !req
217. It's no small thing. Trust me.
Copy !req
218. But, I can't show my face
anymore. Or use my name.
Copy !req
219. The face is no loss
and if you miss your name
Copy !req
220. I'll give you another one.
Copy !req
221. One that fits your new persona.
Copy !req
222. - Shriek.
- Shriek?
Copy !req
223. Not a friendly name,
I grant you
Copy !req
224. but take it from me.
Copy !req
225. It's better to be feared
then loved.
Copy !req
226. Shriek?
Copy !req
227. Now go forth and do damage.
Copy !req
228. But, don't forget,
you still owe me Bruce Wayne.
Copy !req
229. What if Batman
gets into it again?
Copy !req
230. Kill him.
Copy !req
231. The food, it's poisoned.
Copy !req
232. They're trying to kill you.
Copy !req
233. Shut up!
Copy !req
234. Don't eat.
Copy !req
235. Quiet!
Quiet.
Copy !req
236. zap zap
Copy !req
237. I've been hearing these voices.
Copy !req
238. I know.
Copy !req
239. They think I'm crazy.
Copy !req
240. We'll talk about it back home.
Copy !req
241. We're not going anywhere
until I figure out
Copy !req
242. where the voices
are coming from.
Copy !req
243. But the orderlies
could come in at any second.
Copy !req
244. Check the light fixture.
Copy !req
245. There might be
a speaker hidden in it.
Copy !req
246. - You can't be serious.
- Check it!
Copy !req
247. zap
Copy !req
248. See. Nothing.
Copy !req
249. Then the sound's got to be
coming from the walls.
Copy !req
250. - Strip 'em.
- I can't strip the..
Copy !req
251. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
252. What are you doing?
Copy !req
253. Aw!
Copy !req
254. Big bandage
for such a small wound.
Copy !req
255. It's a two-way radio.
Guy named Shreeve makes 'em.
Copy !req
256. He's the one who knocked down
the police station.
Copy !req
257. He probably bribed a nurse
Copy !req
258. to put that thing
in the bandage.
Copy !req
259. - Still think I'm crazy?
- It never occurred to me.
Copy !req
260. - Missed me, boy?
- He wasn't the only one.
Copy !req
261. Looks like
the radio signal's coming
Copy !req
262. 'from that factory
by the hospital.'
Copy !req
263. 'And from there,
I've got a feeling'
Copy !req
264. 'it's gonna lead to Powers.'
Copy !req
265. Doesn't take a detective
to figure that one out.
Copy !req
266. Yeah, the source is definitely
in here somewhere.
Copy !req
267. Not somewhere.
Right behind you.
Copy !req
268. You don't have to do this,
Shreeve.
Copy !req
269. But I do.
Copy !req
270. And the name's Shriek now.
Copy !req
271. I'll show you why.
Copy !req
272. Ugh!
Copy !req
273. This isn't going to help you.
Copy !req
274. Kinda quiet out there, huh, boy?
Copy !req
275. But you hear something,
don't you?
Copy !req
276. Get up.
Copy !req
277. No.
Copy !req
278. No!
Copy !req
279. It has been moved and seconded
Copy !req
280. that Wayne-Powers
tender an offer to the city
Copy !req
281. in order to expand
into the historical district.
Copy !req
282. All in favor.
Copy !req
283. Aye!
Copy !req
284. Opposed.
Copy !req
285. 'Nay!'
Copy !req
286. The motion is defeated.
Copy !req
287. Meeting adjourned!
Copy !req
288. Too bad Shreeve's
too freaked out
Copy !req
289. to testify against that weasel.
Copy !req
290. Maybe when his hearing
comes back.
Copy !req
291. - If it ever does.
- Tell me something.
Copy !req
292. Why were you so sure
those voices
Copy !req
293. weren't coming from you?
Copy !req
294. Well, first,
I know I'm not psychotic.
Copy !req
295. I hope your other reason's
more convincing.
Copy !req
296. And second,
the voice kept calling me Bruce.
Copy !req
297. In my mind,
that's not what I call myself.
Copy !req
298. What do you call yourself?
Copy !req
299. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
300. I suppose you would.
Copy !req
301. - But that's my name now.
- Hm.
Copy !req
302. Tell that to my subconscious.
Copy !req
