1. Hello, Gotham, I'm Ian Peek.

2. And on tonight's very special Inside Peek

3. I've got gossip to shock your socks off.

4. But first, this question.

5. Who is boxing trainer Jack Turley coaching after hours?

6. - Huh? - Would you believe

7. the champ's girlfriend?

8. I'd watch out, Jack.

9. She's a knockout in more ways than one.

10. And then, there's rocker Jamie Jerald.

11. She must know that splicing's against the law,

12. yet here she is, just a day ago,

13. meeting with one of the town's most notorious genetic suppliers.

14. Maybe hard rockin' Jamie's out to become the real dragon lady of the music biz.

15. And now for our headline story.

16. The strange case of Paxton Powers.

17. Remember him? We haven't heard much from Paxie boy

18. since he took over Wayne-Powers from his blighted father.

19. Maybe it's because Pax has been side-tracked by, uh, personal issues?

20. Looks like he's making up for all that time

21. he wasted in the boonies.

22. Now, watch this.

23. Ooh!

24. - What are they doing? - This isn't for you.

25. I want to see. I want to see.

26. - Hey! - Hey!

27. I don't want you watching this.

28. See? I told you.

29. I was talking to both of you.

30. Come on. It's just entertainment.

31. You wouldn't find it so entertaining if you were on the receiving end.

32. And that's all for now,

33. but tomorrow I'll have lots more prime, grade-A gossip for you,

34. and you'll see it all

35. from Inside.

36. All right, everybody, that's a wrap.

37. Great show, Ian. Great show.

38. But you got to tell me how you get these videos.

39. It's like you're right there next to them.

40. Trade secret.

41. You sure nobody's going to find out about this?

42. If my friends in the tong hear

43. that I'm talking about them to the cops...

44. This room's been swept for bugs, twice.

45. And you've seen my security staff.

46. You don't know the tong.

47. That's why you're here, Mr. Lin.

48. So I can learn more about them.

49. But if you'd prefer to face your tax evasion charges,

50. I can arrange that, too.

51. There are about 500 members of the tong here in Gotham city.

52. We have interests in sports betting,

53. gambling parlors, weapons sales, and—

54. Just a second.

55. Hmm, maybe not.

56. Sounds like something's happening at City Hall.

57. City Hall? Better be careful.

58. Always am.

59. Yes, but you've never had to face politicians before.

60. No, don't!

61. Don't forget, this model atom is not built to scale.

62. If it were, and if a nucleus were actually this big,

63. these electrons would be over two miles away.

64. Any questions?

65. Mr. McGinnis, you're awake.

66. Aren't you saying that the stuff we think of as solid

67. is mostly empty space?

68. That's one way to put it.

69. Then there must be a way for one solid object

70. to move through another.

71. Well, most scientists believe nuclear forces make that impossible.

72. You said "most."

73. There was one scientist who thought the forces could be circumvented.

74. He was head of the research department at Wayne-Powers.

75. I knew him well. Nobuo Taka.

76. He developed a theory called Vibra-Space.

77. He thought atoms and molecules could be made to vibrate in such a way

78. that they could pass right through each other.

79. Like that guy from the other night.

80. But what would Taka want from that tong gangster?

81. Taka died years ago.

82. There was a fire.

83. It destroyed all his research, too.

84. Gangsters, they act like big men

85. until they turn into rats.

86. That's what tong lowlife, Jimmy Lin, just did, and I've got the tape.

87. Here he is, spilling his guts to DA Sam Young

88. about the tong's involvement in gambling, weapons sales...

89. I'm Ian Peek, and that's all for this edition of The Inside Peek.

90. Another great one, Ian.

91. Having those stomach problems again?

92. Yeah. It's probably just tension.

93. Well, I'd be tense, too, if I was out there exposing the mob.

94. They're nothing to worry about. I'm untouchable.

95. That's exactly what I think.

96. Untouchable.

97. Don't you have a boot to lick?

98. You were saying?

99. I'm saying that you, or someone who works for you

100. figured out a way of moving through walls.

101. Moving through walls?

102. If I could do that, I'd be a very rich reporter.

103. You are.

104. Get him! Get him!

105. Hey! Hey, let me go! Let me go!

106. You can't do this to me.

107. I know the DA personally.

108. Peek's the one.

109. He's found a way to move through solid matter.

110. You're sure it's him?

111. During the fight, he went into a closet and disappeared.

112. So, what do we do?

113. Call Commissioner Gordon and have him arrested?

114. Arrested? For what?

115. Well, he...

116. Trespassing.

117. Peek isn't really a criminal,

118. unless being a reporter counts.

119. Yeah, but...

120. Um...

121. Ooh.

122. Hmm.

123. Get up, you got to see this.

124. Beat it, twip.

125. It's Batman.

126. It's some sort of cavern or cave,

127. but what it really is is a bizarre museum,

128. a museum filled with mementoes

129. of a nearly forgotten crusade against crime.

130. Its chief curator is this man.

131. You know him as Batman, but he has another identity,

132. one that I'll reveal tonight on The Inside Peek.

133. Shway.

134. But that's not all.

135. You'll also see the face of Batman's mysterious friend

136. and you'll find out what part he played in Gotham's greatest secret.

137. A once-in-a-lifetime event, only here, only tonight.

138. - Hello. - It's me.

139. - There's this thing on the web. - I know.

140. They've been running it twice an hour since before dawn.

141. - How did he— - He planted a camera in the Batmobile.

142. - No. - I just found it.

143. Then it's my fault.

144. It's all my fault.

145. I always assumed I'd be found out sooner or later.

146. It's just galling that a piece of garbage like Peek

147. had to be the one.

148. I was half-expecting you.

149. Come on in.

150. Terry.

151. Once I saw that the old guy was Bruce Wayne

152. it wasn't hard to figure out who you were.

153. He was the original Batman, wasn't he?

154. Wasn't he?

155. I don't care what you do to me,

156. but he doesn't deserve this.

157. He's done too much for this city

158. to wind up in the middle of a media circus.

159. He means a lot to you, doesn't he?

160. Yeah, he does.

161. I believe you. I really do.

162. That's the trouble with this business.

163. You meet so many liars, you forget what sincerity sounds like.

164. Wanna say it all again while I've got the camera running?

165. Terry. I was afraid you were gonna miss it.

166. Miss what?

167. You know, The Inside Peek.

168. Everybody at school's talking about it.

169. And at work, too.

170. Aren't you the one who didn't want us watching this?

171. You said I wouldn't find it so entertaining

172. if I was on the receiving end.

173. Yeah, well, what do I know?

174. It's gonna be web history tonight, Ian.

175. Web history!

176. Count on it.

177. No.

178. And coming up next, The Inside Peek.

179. But first, these words.

180. Mom, Matt, there's something I need to tell you.

181. - After the show, dear. - No.

182. It can't wait.

183. I... I'm Batman.

184. Seriously! I am!

185. Terry, please.

186. Hey, it's coming on.

187. Tonight's edition of The Inside Peek

188. has been postponed due to technical difficulties.

189. Please stay tuned for an encore presentation of...

190. Postponed? Why'd they do that?

191. Maybe Ian Peek lost his nerve.

192. Somehow, I doubt that.

193. Come on, old man, pick up the phone.

194. Where'd you go? Where?

195. Why'd you call me here?

196. I can't control it anymore.

197. And it's happening without the belt.

198. So, what do you want from me?

199. My body's losing its substance.

200. You got to help me.

201. You have the resources.

202. That company, all those scientists.

203. There are other companies.

204. Yes, but Taka worked for yours.

205. What does he have to do with this?

206. I was the last one to interview him.

207. Taka never would have talked to someone like you.

208. You'd be surprised how obsequious someone like me can be when I need to.

209. I have Taka's files and research right in there.

210. I even have the belt he made.

211. You stole it.

212. You're the one who started the fire.

213. I had to have it.

214. To him, it was just some experiment,

215. but to me it was power.

216. A chance to kick my career into high gear.

217. You can't leave.

218. You got to help me.

219. Give me one good reason.

220. I know your secret.

221. I know who you used to be.

222. You're losing your head.

223. Wait.

224. This is it.

225. The only unedited footage from the cave.

226. No one's seen it but me.

227. Take it!

228. Aah!

229. Help! Help me!

230. It looks like there's only one force left

231. that has any effect on him: gravity.

232. Help me, I can't stop.

233. Ian, you got to stay solid.

234. Concentrate. Concentrate!

235. What's gonna happen to him?

236. My guess, he'll keep right on falling

237. till he reaches the center of the earth.

238. It's about as inside as you can get.
