1. What's keeping him?
Copy !req
2. Commissioner Gordon?
Copy !req
3. —Forget it, Stavros.
—Your meeting's been canceled.
Copy !req
4. He's on his way, boss.
Copy !req
5. No! No!
Copy !req
6. Please, please. It's not what you think.
Copy !req
7. I wasn't gonna say anything. Honest.
Copy !req
8. Silence!
Copy !req
9. First you transgress against me.
Copy !req
10. Then you force me to descend
to the mortal plane.
Copy !req
11. And now you say I know not what I think?
Copy !req
12. No!
Copy !req
13. To the depths of Tartarus with you.
Copy !req
14. —
—
Copy !req
15. He's a lucky guy. If those tires
hadn't absorbed the shock, he—
Copy !req
16. Just a minute.
The weather was perfectly clear tonight,
Copy !req
17. and you're telling me that man
was struck by lightning?
Copy !req
18. I guess you'll have to ask him
what happened whenever he wakes up.
Copy !req
19. His name is Yanni Stavros.
Copy !req
20. He works
for Maximillian Shipping Lines.
Copy !req
21. As a scheduler.
Copy !req
22. —You know him?
—He's been under Interpol investigation
Copy !req
23. for selling vital shipping schedules
to hijackers.
Copy !req
24. That fits. Stavros had offered
to give me some information
Copy !req
25. so he could cut a deal with the feds.
Copy !req
26. What kind of information?
Copy !req
27. Ever hear of something called an EDC?
Copy !req
28. The Electron Discharge Cannon.
Copy !req
29. A fourth—generation energy weapon
Copy !req
30. being developed
by a combined US—European alliance.
Copy !req
31. Then you probably know
this prototype was stolen last month
Copy !req
32. while it was being shipped overseas.
Copy !req
33. (ON TV) This film contains
classified information
Copy !req
34. on defense project 406562,
the Electron Discharge Cannon.
Copy !req
35. For authorized personnel only.
Copy !req
36. And you think Stavros was either
involved in the theft or knows who was.
Copy !req
37. I pray that he does,
Copy !req
38. because if that infernal device
falls into the wrong hands...
Copy !req
39. Maybe it already has.
Copy !req
40. The grand jury is building another case,
Copy !req
41. and I can't stop them this time.
Copy !req
42. There are allegations of bribery,
extortion and racketeering,
Copy !req
43. all pointing back to you, Max.
Copy !req
44. Sure, I'm your assistant, but there's
only so much I can do on my own.
Copy !req
45. Max? Maxie? Come on,
look at me when I'm talking to you.
Copy !req
46. You bore me with these tales
of petty human concerns.
Copy !req
47. You're doing it again, Maxie.
Copy !req
48. You are Clio, my muse of history.
Copy !req
49. Amuse me with tales of ancient times,
Copy !req
50. when mortals trembled
at the name of Zeus.
Copy !req
51. You want a story? I got one.
Copy !req
52. Seems there was this guy named Max,
Copy !req
53. who, because he had been lucky so far
in the smuggling racket,
Copy !req
54. believed himself to be untouchable,
superior, godlike.
Copy !req
55. There's a cynical edge to your voice
I don't appreciate.
Copy !req
56. Know you not I am above mortal
constraints of right and wrong?
Copy !req
57. No one is above the law, Max.
Copy !req
58. I make my own laws.
Copy !req
59. Maxie, please. Don't look at me
as if you don't know me.
Copy !req
60. What's happened to you? To us?
Copy !req
61. After all we've been through together.
After all we meant to—
Copy !req
62. What's that?
Copy !req
63. Who dares?
Copy !req
64. Of course.
Copy !req
65. Like the shadow of ebon—winged night,
he rises from the dark realm.
Copy !req
66. Behold, the coming of my brother,
Lord Hades!
Copy !req
67. Welcome, Lord Hades.
Copy !req
68. Be serious, Max. That's Batman.
Copy !req
69. But Batman is a mere mortal.
Copy !req
70. And what mortal could reach
the summit of Mount Olympus and survive?
Copy !req
71. Come, dark brother. Avail yourself
of the nectar of the gods.
Copy !req
72. No, thanks.
Copy !req
73. I just want to ask you
a few questions about—
Copy !req
74. Hold. The words of the gods
are not for the ears of mere muses.
Copy !req
75. Yep, that's me,
just a lowly muse. Whatever.
Copy !req
76. Now, my brother, what brings you to me?
Copy !req
77. Has Lord Vulcan
been causing you trouble again?
Copy !req
78. The Batman? Upstairs?
Copy !req
79. What do we do?
Copy !req
80. If His Lordship wants us, he'll holler.
Copy !req
81. You're taking this too lightly, Alex.
We're in trouble.
Copy !req
82. Maxie's worse than ever.
Copy !req
83. When was the last time you saw him
wear real clothes in the office?
Copy !req
84. You know the boss and Greek stuff.
It's his thing.
Copy !req
85. Well, his thing is about to blow
this shipping firm out of the water.
Copy !req
86. And maybe Maxie with it.
Copy !req
87. An Electron Discharge Cannon?
Copy !req
88. You run one of the world's
largest shipping firms.
Copy !req
89. I thought you might know
how the hijackers were able to move it.
Copy !req
90. Why should Zeus be concerned
about the weapons of man
Copy !req
91. when he can call forth
thunderbolts of his own?
Copy !req
92. This audience is at an end.
Copy !req
93. Awake, my harpies.
Copy !req
94. Begone, Lord Hades.
Get thee back to thine own realm.
Copy !req
95. Do not come again
to Olympus until bidden.
Copy !req
96. I think I get the message.
Copy !req
97. Oh, Max, what's happening to you?
Copy !req
98. Hey, you called, boss... I mean,
thou didst summon us, O great Zeus?
Copy !req
99. Indeed I did.
Copy !req
100. For you are to be among
the first pitiful mortals
Copy !req
101. to bear witness to
the dawn of a new age.
Copy !req
102. Soon all mortals will tremble once more
Copy !req
103. at the fury of Zeus reborn!
Copy !req
104. Come back to me, Maxie.
Copy !req
105. What do you want?
Copy !req
106. The same thing you do.
Copy !req
107. To help Maximillian Zeus.
Copy !req
108. He wasn't always this way, you know.
Copy !req
109. But then business got bad and
he started handling cargo for the mob.
Copy !req
110. After a while, with the pressure,
the tension, things got confused.
Copy !req
111. He's not living in
the real world anymore.
Copy !req
112. Maybe you can relate to that.
Copy !req
113. You're the only one who can get me
close enough to help him,
Copy !req
114. while some of the man
you knew still exists.
Copy !req
115. This is as far as I can take you.
Now you're on your own.
Copy !req
116. Batman?
Copy !req
117. This isn't the roof.
Copy !req
118. Sorry, Ms. Droukas. Boss's orders.
Copy !req
119. This is as far as you go.
Copy !req
120. Like Bellerophon astride winged Pegasus,
Copy !req
121. yon foolish mortals
dare encroach on sacred Olympus.
Copy !req
122. —Does he mean us?
—Get thee back unto the mortal plane!
Copy !req
123. No, Maxie! Not the cops!
Copy !req
124. I don't believe it.
Copy !req
125. It's on fire!
It's gonna crash.
Copy !req
126. It's gonna explode.
Oh, no!
Copy !req
127. Get back!
Copy !req
128. Feel the wrath of Zeus,
thou insignificant—
Copy !req
129. Max, what have you done?
You could have killed someone!
Copy !req
130. How dare you speak with such disloyalty!
Copy !req
131. But, Maxie, please, you know I love you.
Copy !req
132. Clio? I'm sorry. I can't...
Copy !req
133. Thou art no longer fit to be among us!
Copy !req
134. Tie her to the thunderbolt of Zeus.
Copy !req
135. But, boss, don't you think
you may be carrying things a bit—
Copy !req
136. Alexander, will thou do my bidding?
Copy !req
137. Nothing personal, Ms. Droukas.
Copy !req
138. So, no longer like an eagle
against the sky,
Copy !req
139. but as a worm crawling though the dirt
does Lord Hades try to regain Olympus.
Copy !req
140. Look on my works,
ye mighty, and despair.
Copy !req
141. Heracles bested 12 labors
before I received him.
Copy !req
142. And so it shall be with you, bat demon.
Copy !req
143. So, you have survived my hydra.
But many more challenges await.
Copy !req
144. Alas.
Copy !req
145. Farewell, my dark brother.
Copy !req
146. Be not afraid, my muse.
Copy !req
147. For once thou hast been cleansed
by the fire from Olympus,
Copy !req
148. thou shalt be as a goddess
at my side throughout eternity!
Copy !req
149. Let the heavens scream!
Copy !req
150. Let the earth tremble!
Copy !req
151. Let mortals know
the gods of old live again!
Copy !req
152. It's over, Maxie.
Copy !req
153. Alexander, destroy the bat demon.
Copy !req
154. —But, boss, maybe we shouldn't—
—Traitors! My harpies, awake.
Copy !req
155. Destroy all who oppose me!
Copy !req
156. Ah.
Copy !req
157. Thank you, Bat... Look out!
Copy !req
158. Begone, thou foul bat demon!
Copy !req
159. Get thee back to the underworld
where thee belongs!
Copy !req
160. Such is the fate of all
who dare to thwart the gods.
Copy !req
161. Oh, no.
Copy !req
162. It's going to fire!
Copy !req
163. No!
Copy !req
164. That's mine!
Copy !req
165. Maxie, no!
Copy !req
166. Get down!
Copy !req
167. Now, this is truly Olympus.
Copy !req
168. Surely, it can be no other place.
Copy !req
169. There's beautiful Demeter,
goddess of the harvest.
Copy !req
170. And double—faced Janus,
lord of beginnings and endings.
Copy !req
171. And merry Hermes,
the trickster of the gods.
Copy !req
172. Now at last, mighty Zeus is home.
Copy !req
