1. You know me, Bruce.
Copy !req
2. Staid banker, old conservative stock.
Copy !req
3. I'm the last person to act impulsively.
Copy !req
4. But I'm telling you,
this fellow is a revelation.
Copy !req
5. You should read this.
Copy !req
6. Dad, you're not gonna proselytize Bruce.
Copy !req
7. Now you hush, Lisa.
Copy !req
8. We're raising a generation of cynics.
Copy !req
9. "Nostromos." Yes, I've read
about him in the Star Enquirer.
Copy !req
10. Uh, Alfred likes to pick up a copy
now and then.
Copy !req
11. That man saved my life.
Copy !req
12. He warned me not to go
on the gambling cruise.
Copy !req
13. Two days out to sea, the ship sank.
Copy !req
14. A coincidence.
Copy !req
15. What about the cave—in
at the Zanza mines?
Copy !req
16. Or the fires at the Karobi oil field?
Copy !req
17. His predictions saved me a fortune.
Copy !req
18. Make a heck of a stockbroker.
Copy !req
19. Tomorrow I'm hosting a party
in Nostromos' honor.
Copy !req
20. I want you to be there
to see for yourself.
Copy !req
21. Sounds great.
Copy !req
22. But I'll have to check
my horoscope to be sure.
Copy !req
23. You don't believe in this guy
at all, do you?
Copy !req
24. Call me crazy, but sometimes
I think his predictions come true
Copy !req
25. because he makes them happen.
Copy !req
26. Only thing I do know is these days,
my father won't make a move without him.
Copy !req
27. Daddy's even part
of a secret brotherhood.
Copy !req
28. Secret brotherhood?
Copy !req
29. He won't even tell
his own family what it's about,
Copy !req
30. thanks to Mr. All-Wise,
All-Wonderful Nostromos.
Copy !req
31. Peace to all.
Copy !req
32. Brothers and sisters,
Copy !req
33. the negative plane is aligned
with the positive,
Copy !req
34. bringing forth astral harmony.
Copy !req
35. What?
Copy !req
36. The vibrations are right for prophecy.
Copy !req
37. Oh. Okay.
Copy !req
38. That which you seek and cannot find,
Copy !req
39. is the seeker.
Copy !req
40. You are merely the eye
trying to view itself.
Copy !req
41. This is awfully deep.
Copy !req
42. We are but radios
for the cosmic transmitter.
Copy !req
43. Tune your receivers.
Copy !req
44. Hear the inner voice.
Copy !req
45. What is going on?
Copy !req
46. Brother Ethan, the inner voice speaks.
Copy !req
47. Someone here is in grave danger.
Copy !req
48. The messenger of death is searching,
Copy !req
49. crying out for...
Copy !req
50. You!
Copy !req
51. But, how did the glass break, sir?
Copy !req
52. Psychic vibrations, Alfred.
Copy !req
53. Though I'd bet on
a high-frequency sonic device.
Copy !req
54. But I have some tricks of my own.
Copy !req
55. I lifted Nostromos' fingerprints
at the party.
Copy !req
56. There he is. Alias Carl Fowler.
Copy !req
57. Professional actor.
Copy !req
58. Arrested for petty larceny.
Copy !req
59. Otherwise, no criminal record.
Copy !req
60. That's his partner.
Copy !req
61. Lucas. Special-effects man.
Copy !req
62. Arrested for fraud.
Copy !req
63. Never convicted.
Copy !req
64. So, they were both in show business.
Copy !req
65. Still are.
Copy !req
66. I just wish I knew
where this act was going.
Copy !req
67. Hi, Mr. Wayne.
Copy !req
68. I hear your personal elevator
is working great now.
Copy !req
69. The repair guy was just out.
Copy !req
70. Really? I didn't know
there was anything wrong.
Copy !req
71. No one could have predicted
Batman would spot me.
Copy !req
72. Not even the great Nostromos.
Copy !req
73. Besides, how do you know Wayne survived?
Copy !req
74. The news said he got off the elevator
Copy !req
75. right before it fell,
you pathetic amateur.
Copy !req
76. Well, you didn't predict
he would die, exactly.
Copy !req
77. Fool! Can't you see how his death
would have affected the Brotherhood?
Copy !req
78. How vulnerable they would have felt?
Copy !req
79. We could have finally hit them
for all they're worth!
Copy !req
80. Peace to all.
Copy !req
81. Nostromos, I must see you at once.
It's about Bruce Wayne.
Copy !req
82. Bruce Wayne?
Copy !req
83. Mmm-hmm. A miracle has happened.
Copy !req
84. Bruce has seen the light.
Copy !req
85. It wasn't until that moment,
when I came so close to death,
Copy !req
86. that I realized you really did have
a divine connection.
Copy !req
87. To think I ridiculed you.
Copy !req
88. Can you ever forgive me?
Copy !req
89. Of course.
Copy !req
90. I rejoice in your soaring consciousness.
Copy !req
91. Nostromos, I was thinking,
Copy !req
92. a man of Bruce's standing,
his influence,
Copy !req
93. should he not be considered
for the Brotherhood?
Copy !req
94. Yes. It's preordained.
Copy !req
95. Welcome, Brother Bruce.
Copy !req
96. No, not Bruce!
Copy !req
97. Lisa, you
Copy !req
98. don't understand.
Copy !req
99. Oh, I understand, all right.
Copy !req
100. You're like all the rest,
Copy !req
101. suckered in by
this money—grubbing, bogus creep.
Copy !req
102. Lisa!
Copy !req
103. You know what my inner voice
tells me, Nostromos?
Copy !req
104. You've ripped off your last victim.
Copy !req
105. I'm so sorry. I...
Copy !req
106. Do not apologize.
Copy !req
107. She will believe.
Copy !req
108. They will all believe,
Copy !req
109. after the Great Fall.
Copy !req
110. You may have joined us
just in time, Bruce.
Copy !req
111. For months Nostromos
has been warning the Brotherhood
Copy !req
112. of an economic collapse in the West.
Copy !req
113. "The Great Fall"?
Copy !req
114. Exactly.
Copy !req
115. But, at Nostromos' direction,
Copy !req
116. we've set up a superfund
to protect ourselves.
Copy !req
117. After the fall, we can use it
not only to rebuild fortunes,
Copy !req
118. but society as well.
Copy !req
119. And I take it that Nostromos
controls this money.
Copy !req
120. Oh, no, he can't touch it
without my written approval.
Copy !req
121. Nostromos insisted
everything be aboveboard.
Copy !req
122. Of course.
Copy !req
123. And though,
tonight we bask in the radiance
Copy !req
124. of Brother Bruce's conversion,
Copy !req
125. it grieves me to burden your spirits
Copy !req
126. with solemn news as well.
Copy !req
127. The Great Fall is at hand.
Copy !req
128. The Great Fall.
Copy !req
129. The omens rise and converge
with every passing moment.
Copy !req
130. Yes, my brethren,
Copy !req
131. the inner voice speaks.
Copy !req
132. I now see a dawn of destruction.
Copy !req
133. Riots!
Copy !req
134. Pillaging!
Copy !req
135. Carnage!
Copy !req
136. A society out of control!
Copy !req
137. Oh, the torment!
Copy !req
138. The suffering!
Copy !req
139. The vision becomes clear.
Copy !req
140. Brothers, beware!
Copy !req
141. Argh!
Copy !req
142. I am fine.
Copy !req
143. Brethren, you must transfer all you can
to the Brotherhood's fund by tomorrow.
Copy !req
144. The stars are
in their proper confluence.
Copy !req
145. Signs and portents abound.
Copy !req
146. As prophets of old foretold
cataclysmic changes,
Copy !req
147. so now, I predict
a massive social upheaval!
Copy !req
148. This is the end of the old order.
Copy !req
149. Anarchy and chaos will abound.
Copy !req
150. The Great Fall has begun.
Copy !req
151. You gave them $10 million, sir?
Copy !req
152. And to think,
I was fretting over the electric bill.
Copy !req
153. I had to keep up appearances, Alfred.
Copy !req
154. There must be over $300 million
in that fund.
Copy !req
155. My word!
Copy !req
156. Well, at least Nostromos can't touch it
without Mr. Clark's authorization.
Copy !req
157. For now.
Copy !req
158. But I don't need to be psychic
to predict that Ethan Clark
Copy !req
159. is about to undergo a spiritual crisis.
Copy !req
160. Well, Lucas,
Copy !req
161. our benevolent brothers
Copy !req
162. transferred another
63 million this morning.
Copy !req
163. I predict, you and I
are about to become as rich as pigs.
Copy !req
164. —ETHAN: Nostromos!
—
Copy !req
165. Huh?
Copy !req
166. Out. Out!
Copy !req
167. Nostromos.
Copy !req
168. I got your message.
Copy !req
169. I'd have been here sooner,
but I've been trying to locate Lisa.
Copy !req
170. She didn't come home last night.
Copy !req
171. The inner voice assures me she is fine.
Copy !req
172. Do you know where she is?
Copy !req
173. Do not worry.
I see you joining her soon.
Copy !req
174. Right now,
we have urgent business to discuss.
Copy !req
175. The voice has warned
Copy !req
176. that the Brotherhood's fund
is in jeopardy.
Copy !req
177. What do you mean?
Copy !req
178. We must convert it
into gold bullion at once.
Copy !req
179. I've prepared the papers
for your signature.
Copy !req
180. But, Nostromos, I can't possibly sign
until I've notified the brothers.
Copy !req
181. There's no time!
Copy !req
182. But, they must be informed.
Copy !req
183. It's our obligation.
Copy !req
184. Perhaps the stars can persuade you.
Copy !req
185. I see a bad moon rising.
Copy !req
186. Lisa!
Copy !req
187. Sign!
Copy !req
188. Nostromos, what is this?
I don't understand.
Copy !req
189. Sign! Or she pays.
Copy !req
190. Why would you do this?
Copy !req
191. I believed in you. You saved me.
Copy !req
192. Please, Nostro...
Copy !req
193. I have one last prediction for you,
Ethan.
Copy !req
194. The end will be swift.
Copy !req
195. Brother Lucas has set
enough explosives in this place
Copy !req
196. to create a supernova.
Copy !req
197. I suggest you make your peace quickly.
Copy !req
198. Ooh!
Copy !req
199. The control room!
Copy !req
200. Up there.
Copy !req
201. You go that way.
Copy !req
202. Your turn to see the light.
Copy !req
203. Batman?
Copy !req
204. You're about to fall
out of orbit, Batman.
Copy !req
205. I can't believe
I was so gullible.
Copy !req
206. But that's what I get
for putting my faith in greed.
Copy !req
207. You weren't the only one, Daddy.
Copy !req
208. Guilty as charged.
Copy !req
209. As the Bard once said,
Copy !req
210. "The fault lies not in the stars,
but in ourselves.”
