1. Oh, heavens!
My hair is so soft and so shiny!Copy !req
2. And so wonderfully easy to manage!Copy !req
3. Make your hair look bright and cleanCopy !req
4. When you—Copy !req
5. It's 10 to midnight, Central City...Copy !req
6. and once again your mayor refuses
to take seriously...Copy !req
7. - ... my demand for $1 million.
Look, that's him! The Ghost!Copy !req
8. - Making me keep my end of the bargain.
Who will stop him?Copy !req
9. - So at the stroke of 12...
Get out of here!Copy !req
10. downtown will go up
in the brightest display of fireworks...Copy !req
11. - ... this city has ever seen.
Where's Night Shade?Copy !req
12. Think of me as you sift
through the rubble.Copy !req
13. This is the Ghost...Copy !req
14. wishing you all
a very good evening.Copy !req
15. Time has come for the Night Shade...Copy !req
16. to drop in on the Ghost.Copy !req
17. Well, let's have a big round of applause
for our special guest.Copy !req
18. Oh, I wouldn't waste your firepower.Copy !req
19. It's useless. Television allows me
to be everywhere.Copy !req
20. You can't blackmail an entire city.Copy !req
21. Of course I can, fool.
I'm the future.Copy !req
22. And you're far too late to stop me!Copy !req
23. One more adjustment
before detonation.Copy !req
24. Your show's cancelled, Ghost.Copy !req
25. Try Ghostess.Copy !req
26. You should've stayed in Helltown
frightening mobsters.Copy !req
27. You're psychotic.Copy !req
28. One man's psychotic
is another man's visionary.Copy !req
29. Video is the future.Copy !req
30. And I'm detonating the bombs
with a television signal.Copy !req
31. I don't wanna blow up
those buildings...Copy !req
32. but an ultimatum is an ultimatum.Copy !req
33. Maybe you shouldn't blow up
the hospital, Russell.Copy !req
34. Damn it, Belle. You can't let
human sentimentality...Copy !req
35. stand in the way of progress!Copy !req
36. Too much TV, Ghost.
You've got no attention span.Copy !req
37. - What did you do?
- Shortwave jamming device.Copy !req
38. What did you do?Copy !req
39. Russell!Copy !req
40. Russell!Copy !req
41. But he's still in there!Copy !req
42. - No one could survive that fire.
- Russell!Copy !req
43. Russell! Russell!Copy !req
44. The turn of the century.Copy !req
45. Welcoming the new millennium...Copy !req
46. after a nice frozen sleep.Copy !req
47. A city of tomorrow.Copy !req
48. In my prime, no less.Copy !req
49. 1990?Copy !req
50. A decade early.Copy !req
51. But still the future.Copy !req
52. —and buildings so decayed,
pedestrians should be issued hardhats.Copy !req
53. People ask why I live in this town.
Don't touch that dial.Copy !req
54. Make this the year you take the jump...Copy !req
55. into large-screen technology
from Wacky Walter's Video Emporium.Copy !req
56. We got them all, 178 channels,
hi-fi surround sound, cable-ready...Copy !req
57. A hundred and seventy-eight channels?Copy !req
58. This is the future.Copy !req
59. Look at this place, Julio.Copy !req
60. Akira 5700 computers,
stacks of imaging systems.Copy !req
61. I tell you, compared to this place,
we work in a cave.Copy !req
62. - Fascinating. Let me ask you something.
- What?Copy !req
63. What are you doing here?Copy !req
64. What do you mean?
I'm returning Tina's computer.Copy !req
65. No, what are you always doing here? As
much time as you two spend together—Copy !req
66. Julio. Do you have any women friends?Copy !req
67. Yeah. I got Sabrina.
She's my woman and she's a friend.Copy !req
68. And thank you for listening to Lite FM.
Would get it through those locks...Copy !req
69. - ... that Tina and I are just—
- Too incredibly stupid to see...Copy !req
70. what's going on in front of you.Copy !req
71. What a surprise. Central City's finest.Copy !req
72. - Who's she been talking to?
- Hey.Copy !req
73. My car broke down,
so Julio gave me a lift over here.Copy !req
74. Yeah, Barry forgets the simple things.
You know, water, oil, gas.Copy !req
75. I'll drive tonight. We're going bowling,
do you want to come?Copy !req
76. I'd love to join you and Mr. Gutterball,
but we've all got that telethon thing.Copy !req
77. What do you mean?Copy !req
78. - I thought you asked her.
- I forgot.Copy !req
79. Sabrina put together this telethon.
All you have to do is answer phones.Copy !req
80. - Yeah, on TV. It's not a very good idea.
- It's for a good cause.Copy !req
81. - What, are you camera-shy?
- No, I just—Copy !req
82. Come on. Call your mother,
tell her you'll be on TV.Copy !req
83. - You too?
- It'll be fun!Copy !req
84. - Fun? Oh, fun.
- Yes, it'll be fun.Copy !req
85. Come on, three-letter word...Copy !req
86. This is how far TV's gotten?Copy !req
87. Reduced to a pinball game?Copy !req
88. I expected more.Copy !req
89. Much more. The monorails,
the undersea cities, the moon colony.Copy !req
90. Where's my future?Copy !req
91. Killer! Rack up, homey.Copy !req
92. What? Excuse me?Copy !req
93. That's a bad score.Copy !req
94. Bad? I've already shattered
the record.Copy !req
95. Oh, no, no. Bad. Like in good.Copy !req
96. Oh, I see.Copy !req
97. Orwellian doublespeak,
like in 1984.Copy !req
98. '84? Oh, I can't remember
that far back, man.Copy !req
99. Bad is good. Wrong is right.
I like it.Copy !req
100. I could use a couple of smart kids
who know their way around.Copy !req
101. It's time someone showed you
what total video really means.Copy !req
102. Oh, my God, Tina!Copy !req
103. Shirt.Copy !req
104. It's about time.Copy !req
105. Wow.Copy !req
106. If I'm gonna be on TV,
I might as well look my best.Copy !req
107. You look terrific.Copy !req
108. - Thank you, Barry.
- Yeah.Copy !req
109. - You're looking pretty good yourself.
- This outfit?Copy !req
110. - I just threw it together.
- So I see.Copy !req
111. Play "Mr. Sandman."Copy !req
112. You got it.Copy !req
113. I cashed in my Christmas Club.Copy !req
114. Thirty-five years of compound interest
will support me till the millennium.Copy !req
115. - You're dead.
- Have you forgotten already?Copy !req
116. No, no, you can't...
You can't be him. He's dead.Copy !req
117. I'm not dead, Belle.
Touch me. I made it.Copy !req
118. You made— Made what?Copy !req
119. My little Ghostess, just like old times...Copy !req
120. almost.Copy !req
121. Oh, no, stop. Please don't.
I don't underst—Copy !req
122. You wouldn't accompany me
on my cryogenic journey.Copy !req
123. You mean, the freeze chamber?Copy !req
124. How could I? It just sounded so nuts.Copy !req
125. They all said that back then.Copy !req
126. But now we live in a future
I predicted.Copy !req
127. The only reason I failed in the '50s...Copy !req
128. was the technology wasn't up
to my dreams.Copy !req
129. But failure now is impossible.Copy !req
130. I'm gonna put a stranglehold
on this city.Copy !req
131. The tools are here.Copy !req
132. Back to work, Belle. I ain't paying you
to pick up circus gigolos.Copy !req
133. At last technology has caught up
with me.Copy !req
134. Hey! Stop!Copy !req
135. Baby...Copy !req
136. I only wish you had joined me
in my beauty sleep.Copy !req
137. Yeah, you and me both.Copy !req
138. Thank you. And I'd like to thank
my partner, Tony Bello—Copy !req
139. Officer Murphy, thank you. Now
we know why Central City's a jungle.Copy !req
140. Okay, we also want to thank Star Labs
for their generous matching fund.Copy !req
141. - Okay, thanks.
- Relief Fund.Copy !req
142. Tina, this woman, third time
she's called.Copy !req
143. - Wants to set me up with her daughter.
- This is not a dating service, Mr. Allen.Copy !req
144. Nicely put. Excuse me, pal,
I gotta sit here. I want the people...Copy !req
145. to get to talk to the voice of the city.
That's the kind of guy I am.Copy !req
146. - Sabrina, you want some coffee?
- Yeah, I'd love some.Copy !req
147. And take Julio with you, okay?Copy !req
148. Before his eyes pop out of his head
like a couple of golf balls.Copy !req
149. Right.Copy !req
150. Would you excuse me, please?Copy !req
151. Thank you. Julio, your woman
and your friend strongly suggests...Copy !req
152. you take a short coffee break.Copy !req
153. - Yeah, java sounds really good right now.
- I thought so.Copy !req
154. Listen, Tina, I could show you things
you never dreamed of.Copy !req
155. That's Dr. McGee. And I think
I'd prefer to dream, thank you.Copy !req
156. - Hello?
- Hello?Copy !req
157. - Whoa!
- Finally gonna try out that magic act...Copy !req
158. - ... huh, lieutenant?
- Better than a rendition of "My Way."Copy !req
159. That reminds me, I need an assistant
to saw in half.Copy !req
160. - You available Monday?
- My phone's ringing.Copy !req
161. - Warren.
- Gentlemen...Copy !req
162. our host, Dr. Desmond Powell.Copy !req
163. Chief of staff, Central Hospital.
Barry Allen, Julio Mendez.Copy !req
164. - Nice to meet you.
- Pleasure.Copy !req
165. Hi.Copy !req
166. If you will excuse us,
I've known your lieutenant...Copy !req
167. for over 30 years, and we just
don't get together often enough.Copy !req
168. Over here, lady! Over here!Copy !req
169. - Oh! Oh!
- Whoa, wait a minute!Copy !req
170. This is a telethon, sparky.
There's no cash here, only pledges.Copy !req
171. I hate your show.
Now, everybody watch the TV! Now!Copy !req
172. In the '50s, I controlled TV. But to see
through it, to travel the network...Copy !req
173. I had to wait 35 years for
a techno-society sophisticated enough...Copy !req
174. for my plans.
And from the looks of things...Copy !req
175. it's been worth the wait.Copy !req
176. Of course, it's not the urban paradise
of tomorrow we all expected.Copy !req
177. The future is like the present,
only older.Copy !req
178. But there's plenty new here
now that...Copy !req
179. Watch out!
Look out!Copy !req
180. You should've paid that million
back in '55, Central City.Copy !req
181. I wouldn't hold such a grudge now.Copy !req
182. Ladies and gentlemen, is this great TV
for your pledge dollar, or what?Copy !req
183. - Excuse me. Are you all right?
- Yes, I'm fine.Copy !req
184. - I told you this telethon was a bad idea.
- Okay!Copy !req
185. - Lieutenant, they made a clean getaway.
- Yeah, with a truckload of equipment.Copy !req
186. - Have you seen Dr. Powell?
- No.Copy !req
187. Here I thought all of this
was behind me.Copy !req
188. Mavis, I'm fine.
I'll see you later. Bye-bye.Copy !req
189. Allen! Anything on
that telethon takeover?Copy !req
190. Julio went through that control booth
with a fine-toothed comb...Copy !req
191. but the prints he found
belonged to employees.Copy !req
192. - What's that, breakfast?
- Yeah. Yeah, it's my—Copy !req
193. - Help yourself.
- I'm stumped.Copy !req
194. He took video and broadcast equipment
and nothing else.Copy !req
195. Well, maybe the guy just wants
to be on TV.Copy !req
196. - What the hell is this?
- It's a lox and onion burrito.Copy !req
197. - It's good though.
- Yeah.Copy !req
198. - Morning.
- Hey!Copy !req
199. - How's the head?
- It could be worse.Copy !req
200. Like that pound of buckshot you took
out of me in '72, remember that?Copy !req
201. - What are you doing down here?
- Last night, guy on the monitors...Copy !req
202. that was the Ghost.Copy !req
203. The Ghost? Forget it.Copy !req
204. Couldn't be the same guy.
He'd be in his 60s.Copy !req
205. The Ghost? Ghost of what,
telethons past?Copy !req
206. Back in '55, this costumed nut
with his own pirate transmitter...Copy !req
207. tried to blackmail the city on TV.Copy !req
208. Yeah, he threatened to blow up
half the town...Copy !req
209. unless the city came across
with $1 million.Copy !req
210. - What happened?
- They found the bombs ready to go...Copy !req
211. but the Ghost disappeared.Copy !req
212. The newspapers claimed that
this masked fruitcake took him out.Copy !req
213. - His name was the...?
- Night Shade.Copy !req
214. Night Shade, a vigilante. As big a pain
in the keister as the Flash is today.Copy !req
215. Wait a minute, Garfield. I heard the Flash
saved your neck a couple of times.Copy !req
216. Well, yeah.Copy !req
217. But the good guys should wear badges.
That's the law.Copy !req
218. How come I never heard of this guy?Copy !req
219. Back then the world wasn't
on videotape. It was different.Copy !req
220. One thing hasn't changed. The police
still don't need costumed nuts...Copy !req
221. interfering in an already impossible job.
Right, Allen?Copy !req
222. Now wait, this guy wore a mask...Copy !req
223. - ... and he fought crime.
- The police can't do everything.Copy !req
224. Some people thought of Night Shade
as a hero.Copy !req
225. Did they ever find out who he was?Copy !req
226. He faded away, forgotten.Copy !req
227. I kind of wonder what sort of man
would wear a mask.Copy !req
228. That kind of adventuring can't leave
much room for a normal life.Copy !req
229. Barry, it was good seeing you again.Copy !req
230. Warren, I'll call you later.Copy !req
231. That was the Ghost.
I don't know how, but he's back.Copy !req
232. Come on. Just come right on.Copy !req
233. Russell!Copy !req
234. It really is you!Copy !req
235. Oh, it's wonderful to see you again,
Skip. The years have been kind.Copy !req
236. What Belle told me, it's true?Copy !req
237. The cryogenic tank?Copy !req
238. Oh, I never thought you'd build
the blasted thing.Copy !req
239. All original parts, Skip.Copy !req
240. You astound me
like nobody's business.Copy !req
241. There's so much for me
to learn, though.Copy !req
242. Computers used to fill a room,
not a briefcase.Copy !req
243. Everything you predicted back
in the '50s:Copy !req
244. TV everywhere, satellites, PCs.Copy !req
245. Not everything.Copy !req
246. Where are the rocket packs
and home helicopters and food pills?Copy !req
247. But I knew video was the key
to my future...Copy !req
248. knew it was going
to make me rich.Copy !req
249. That's why I need you, Skip.Copy !req
250. You were my best technician.Copy !req
251. There's a world of possibilities
for me to master.Copy !req
252. - You must teach me.
- Oh, you'll be teaching me in a week.Copy !req
253. Now, the equipment I took from WCCN
gives me complete pirate access...Copy !req
254. but that's no longer enough.Copy !req
255. Everything is connected these days
through data network.Copy !req
256. He who controls information traffic
controls the system.Copy !req
257. So instead of using TV
to detonate bombs...Copy !req
258. - TV is the bomb.
- Yeah.Copy !req
259. By plugging into the system,
I can bring the city to its knees.Copy !req
260. I don't have Night Shade
to worry about.Copy !req
261. If he's not dead, he's an old man now.Copy !req
262. No offense.Copy !req
263. But the Flash...Copy !req
264. - ... tell me about the Flash.
- Eh.Copy !req
265. Freak of nature. Moves like lightning.Copy !req
266. He's already busted
a couple of Mob outfits.Copy !req
267. Nobody knows for sure
just who or what he is.Copy !req
268. Well, one thing is for certain:Copy !req
269. It's time to get the rest
of the equipment we need...Copy !req
270. and take the Flash out of the picture
at the same time.Copy !req
271. What kind of city do we live in
when even a charity telethon is not safe?Copy !req
272. A broadcast studio is a temple
of entertainment and information.Copy !req
273. What is this world coming to?
Think about it, ladies and—Copy !req
274. We interrupt this program
for a special bulletin.Copy !req
275. Tonight at midnight,
the Ghost welcomes his guest...Copy !req
276. the Flash, at Star Labs.Copy !req
277. We'll be live and direct.Copy !req
278. Don't you dare miss it.Copy !req
279. Now, be careful with that.
It's an Akira 5700.Copy !req
280. Damage it, and we'll have to bloody well
raid the Kremlin for another.Copy !req
281. Kremlins? You mean those cute
little fuzzy dudes from the movie?Copy !req
282. That's everything we need, Russell.
Let's scram.Copy !req
283. Another minute or two, Skip.Copy !req
284. I wouldn't want the Flash to think
we've cancelled his appearance.Copy !req
285. Then on with the show, Ghost.Copy !req
286. Entrapment lasers.Copy !req
287. In about 60 seconds, that cone
will shrink down and fry you to a crisp.Copy !req
288. Thank you for joining us.Copy !req
289. Let's go!Copy !req
290. - My God!
- Night Shade?Copy !req
291. I hate reruns.Copy !req
292. This time, Ghost, I'm putting you
on ice for good.Copy !req
293. Still using knockout darts?Copy !req
294. Pretty soft for these hard times.Copy !req
295. By the way, who the hell are you?Copy !req
296. A colored guy.Copy !req
297. Who would've guessed?Copy !req
298. "Colored"? You really are a relic.Copy !req
299. And you're just a tired old man
who's going to bleed to death.Copy !req
300. Say goodbye to this year's model.Copy !req
301. Dr. Powell?Copy !req
302. My car, Gladstone bag, rear seat.Copy !req
303. Doctor, what should I do?Copy !req
304. It feels like a flesh wound,
hurts like hell.Copy !req
305. You dress it and bandage it,
it should be okay.Copy !req
306. That was pretty good. Now...Copy !req
307. Yeah, help me get out of here.Copy !req
308. - I'll get an ambulance.
- No.Copy !req
309. It's all right. And, thanks.Copy !req
310. It's nice to meet the man
who picked up the torch.Copy !req
311. - Dr. Powell.
- Allen, what are you doing here?Copy !req
312. Well, I was driving by
and I heard the alarm.Copy !req
313. A friend of mine works
at Star Labs, so I— Whoa!Copy !req
314. - Dr. Powell, there's blood on your hand.
- Oh, it's nothing. Nothing.Copy !req
315. - That'll be the squad cars responding.
- I can't let them find me like this.Copy !req
316. Right, but look, I'll drive, okay?
Where to?Copy !req
317. I'll show you.Copy !req
318. You've seen enough already.
I guess I'll trust you with the rest.Copy !req
319. How could I have been so stupid
at my age, putting on a mask...Copy !req
320. going after the ghost
like I was 25 again.Copy !req
321. I can't believe this place.Copy !req
322. Souvenirs of another life.Copy !req
323. That diving suit was my first case.Copy !req
324. These guys were scuttling boats
outside Central Harbor.Copy !req
325. Those model airplanes,
hit man called himself the Aviator...Copy !req
326. loaded them up with dynamite
and tried to fly them into city hall.Copy !req
327. - Yeah, but you stopped him.
- Yeah.Copy !req
328. This is a beautiful car.Copy !req
329. I welded steel plate on the inside.
Damn thing's like a tank.Copy !req
330. - Dr. Powell...
- Hm?Copy !req
331. what made you do it?Copy !req
332. Why'd you become the Night Shade?Copy !req
333. Someone had to be.Copy !req
334. I came home from Korea,
this town was being squeezed...Copy !req
335. between the Mob
and a corrupt administration.Copy !req
336. And making the law your own...Copy !req
337. enforcing it with your own gun,
that was okay?Copy !req
338. After Korea, I couldn't kill anybody.Copy !req
339. But...Copy !req
340. I sure as hell could put them down
for the count.Copy !req
341. I modified this gun
to shoot tranquilizer darts.Copy !req
342. Okay, but running around in...Copy !req
343. Why did you put on a mask?Copy !req
344. Oh, I was working outside the law,
I was black...Copy !req
345. nobody was gonna give me
any medals.Copy !req
346. - Besides, I had to—
- Protect your loved ones.Copy !req
347. Yeah.Copy !req
348. You're pretty sharp, Allen.Copy !req
349. Well, I was born and raised
in Central City.Copy !req
350. How come I never heard
of Night Shade?Copy !req
351. Oh, I was good copy for a while.Copy !req
352. Then I quit, right after the Ghost.Copy !req
353. Thirty-five years from now,
who'll remember the Flash?Copy !req
354. Well, I don't know.Copy !req
355. He's done a lot of good for the city,
don't you think?Copy !req
356. Yeah, but—Copy !req
357. Thank you.Copy !req
358. —so did Night Shade.Copy !req
359. People forget. Trust me.Copy !req
360. Looks like you were having the time
of your life.Copy !req
361. At the expense of everything else.Copy !req
362. My health, my family,
my fiancée. She left me.Copy !req
363. - She knew she had a rival.
- The night...Copy !req
364. - ... the danger.
- Pardon me?Copy !req
365. - Well, it must've been kind of addicting.
- Living a double life nearly destroyed me.Copy !req
366. You take Garfield.
He's one of my closest friends.Copy !req
367. I've taken lead out of him
at least a dozen times.Copy !req
368. But I still can't share my secret
with him.Copy !req
369. No, I guess not.
But tell me about the Ghost.Copy !req
370. He used this crude form
of two-way television.Copy !req
371. He could secretly make a set turn
into a sort of camera...Copy !req
372. to case buildings
for possible burglaries...Copy !req
373. to spy on people,
to blackmail public officials.Copy !req
374. Finally, he planted bombs
all over the city...Copy !req
375. - ... rigged to detonate on a TV signal.
- And held the city for ransom.Copy !req
376. Ah, but I rigged this in '55,
jammed his transmission.Copy !req
377. I thought for good.Copy !req
378. It terrifies me to think
what he can do...Copy !req
379. with the technology he stole
from Star Lab.Copy !req
380. Where am I, Skip?Copy !req
381. You've broken into
the power and light, I think.Copy !req
382. The Akira system let us go online
everywhere in the city.Copy !req
383. Everything really is connected
these days.Copy !req
384. From power I can reach telephone...Copy !req
385. from there, the water system.Copy !req
386. One gigantic game, isn't it?Copy !req
387. Do you wanna go through with this?
Actually wire yourself to that machine?Copy !req
388. Absolutely.Copy !req
389. This is crazy!Copy !req
390. What's the matter, Belle?
You okay?Copy !req
391. Sure. Sure, I'm okay.Copy !req
392. - Are you sure you're okay?
- No, I'm not.Copy !req
393. This just isn't working.Copy !req
394. You just can't do this.Copy !req
395. - Blackmail the city?
- The hell with the city!Copy !req
396. You can't...Copy !req
397. come walking back into my life
after 35 years.Copy !req
398. Let alone...Copy !req
399. not looking a day older.Copy !req
400. Darling, I love you.
It doesn't matter.Copy !req
401. But you've changed.Copy !req
402. Even if you don't look any different.Copy !req
403. What you're talking about, hooking
into these machines, it's just crazy!Copy !req
404. I know what I'm doing,
don't worry.Copy !req
405. - I love you.
- I love you too.Copy !req
406. I always have.Copy !req
407. But you just can't come walking
into my life and still be 30.Copy !req
408. It just isn't fair.Copy !req
409. Should I get her, sir?Copy !req
410. Time to enter the net.Copy !req
411. I want to flex a little...Copy !req
412. see what I can do
with what we've just stolen.Copy !req
413. And with the new knowledge
I've acquired...Copy !req
414. controlling the city's database
is just the first step.Copy !req
415. Oh, boy. It's gotta be those yahoos
at water and power again, you know.Copy !req
416. Yeah, we're lucky they shut down
the nuclear plant last year.Copy !req
417. Hey, you see this white glove?Copy !req
418. This means we're gonna do this
my way.Copy !req
419. Hey, you! You can't do that.
I beg your pardon, sir.Copy !req
420. Why don't you just back up?Copy !req
421. - You're licensed to sell on the sidewalk.
- Oh, boy.Copy !req
422. Forget about it, fellas,
it's backed up all the way to Japan.Copy !req
423. Hello, this is car 432.
We're on a break.Copy !req
424. Hey, Mr. Wienie. Let me have a couple
of chilidogs, hold everything, okay?Copy !req
425. Come on! Come on!Copy !req
426. Oh, come on. This is eight hours
of work down the tubes!Copy !req
427. Come on.Copy !req
428. Crime Lab. Yeah, hold on a second.Copy !req
429. Barry, the computers
have gone berserk, man.Copy !req
430. What, have you got cartoons here?
Hello?Copy !req
431. Barry, the whole computer base—
- Tina, slow down.Copy !req
432. We've got cartoons
on the computer over here.Copy !req
433. I'd kind of enjoy it if it wasn't
destroying three weeks' work.Copy !req
434. I have a very bad feeling
about this.Copy !req
435. - What shall I do?
We're back online here.Copy !req
436. - Call me if it happens again, all right?
- Okay.Copy !req
437. Bye.Copy !req
438. Dr. Powell...Copy !req
439. the car radios, the traffic lights,
the computers. This is the Ghost.Copy !req
440. He's just flexing his muscles
right now.Copy !req
441. - Think he's got something bigger online?
- These are just pranks, a warm-up.Copy !req
442. When he lets out all the stops...Copy !req
443. there's no way the police
will be able to stop him.Copy !req
444. - Well, do you think he's capable of—?
- I saw his face.Copy !req
445. The man has stopped time,
kept his youth.Copy !req
446. - If he can do that—
- I can't let you go out there.Copy !req
447. This is my past hunting me.Copy !req
448. Now it's time for me
to become the hunter.Copy !req
449. - Can you understand that?
- For God's sake, you could be killed!Copy !req
450. Now I know how Tina feels.Copy !req
451. The hell with it.Copy !req
452. We're closed, pal.Copy !req
453. You haven't changed a bit, Belle.Copy !req
454. That voice.Copy !req
455. The Night Shade?Copy !req
456. Oh, sorry, I thought you were
somebody else.Copy !req
457. You were right the first time.Copy !req
458. Oh, not again!Copy !req
459. Please, not you too!
Just leave me alone!Copy !req
460. I really wish I could.Copy !req
461. You're probably the only one
that can help me find the Ghost.Copy !req
462. - Go away.
- I need to ask you...Copy !req
463. - ... about him.
- He was out of my system...Copy !req
464. just a memory.Copy !req
465. - Why couldn't he just stay that way?
- I wish he had.Copy !req
466. That deep freeze...Copy !req
467. blew his mind.Copy !req
468. He thinks he can do anything.Copy !req
469. He doesn't wanna
just control the machines...Copy !req
470. he says he's gonna become
the machine.Copy !req
471. Where is he, Belle?Copy !req
472. He's...Copy !req
473. where you left him
after the showdown in '55.Copy !req
474. What, that old pile?
It's been abandoned for years.Copy !req
475. Yeah, it stayed abandoned
because he owns the building.Copy !req
476. I went there right after the fire
and searched.Copy !req
477. - There was nothing.
- A hidden room.Copy !req
478. That's where he slept while I...Copy !req
479. Oh, it just isn't fair!Copy !req
480. I just can't pretend
I'm 20 anymore.Copy !req
481. Neither can I.Copy !req
482. - Night Shade.
- What are you doing here?Copy !req
483. Just watching your back.Copy !req
484. What makes you think it needs watching?
I was doing this before you were born.Copy !req
485. Then why don't you show me
how it's done?Copy !req
486. Okay.Copy !req
487. The Ghost is holed up in
the old brewery on Shadow Lawn.Copy !req
488. All right! Let's go down
there and get him.Copy !req
489. Slow down, speedy.Copy !req
490. You gotta have a plan. Hop in.Copy !req
491. No. Bad for the image.Copy !req
492. All I'm saying is that nobody's
done this before.Copy !req
493. - You might not come back.
- A possibility.Copy !req
494. But first I take Central City off-line...Copy !req
495. by just mischievously transposing
its entire communications network...Copy !req
496. its power core.Copy !req
497. If you're serious about plugging
into the network...Copy !req
498. I can do the job. But you might be
risking an electronic lobotomy here.Copy !req
499. I didn't survive three and a half decades
in cold storage...Copy !req
500. because I didn't know what
I was doing! Now, key me in, Skip.Copy !req
501. I can feel everything, Skip.Copy !req
502. Everything.Copy !req
503. The very power of the city
courses through my veins.Copy !req
504. I'm wired, Skip.Copy !req
505. Wired to everything.Copy !req
506. Time now to show Central City...Copy !req
507. what a comeback really means.Copy !req
508. Good evening, Central City.Copy !req
509. Don't bother adjusting your sets...Copy !req
510. I will control the vertical.
I will control the horizontal.Copy !req
511. Now, the last time I spoke to you like
this, my demands were reasonable:Copy !req
512. A cool million.Copy !req
513. But the times have changed, and
my price has gone up a thousandfold.Copy !req
514. So unless Central City opens
its treasury to me and my associates...Copy !req
515. I will shut everything down:Copy !req
516. Power, gone. Lights, out.
Heat, water, shut down.Copy !req
517. Computer records, payroll,
wiped away.Copy !req
518. Air traffic, ground traffic,
without control.Copy !req
519. "I'll foul up every telephone number
in the system.Copy !req
520. No more 911."Copy !req
521. Just listen.
- Just imagine your hospitals...Copy !req
522. without their life's blood of energy.Copy !req
523. He's crazy.
- This will be a city of darkness...Copy !req
524. How can he do this?
- ... of desperate, hungry, thirsty citizens.Copy !req
525. Complete and beautiful chaos.Copy !req
526. My price:Copy !req
527. - One billion dollars before dawn.
What?Copy !req
528. - Russell, please don't. Don't do this.
- And remember, even if you do pay...Copy !req
529. - ... I am the heart and soul of this city.
What?Copy !req
530. Hey, what happened?
What happened?Copy !req
531. I'm telling you, Murph, this is worse
than the blackout of '71.Copy !req
532. The blackout of '71 was one
of the best nights I ever spent in my life.Copy !req
533. Oh, yeah, let me guess,
a motel room with Michelle.Copy !req
534. Yeah, that's pretty close.Copy !req
535. Actually, it was a stuck elevator
with the Corelli twins.Copy !req
536. The Corelli twins were guys, Murph.Copy !req
537. I know. And two of the worst
poker players you ever saw in your life.Copy !req
538. - Honest to God, 2600 bucks, one night.
- Twenty-six hundred?Copy !req
539. Commissioner, we're doing
everything we can.Copy !req
540. I can't get ahold of any of my units!Copy !req
541. Hello? Hello? What?Copy !req
542. Two pairs of pants
and a cashmere sweater?Copy !req
543. Lady, this is not Morty's Cleaners!
All the phone lines are crossed.Copy !req
544. Get me a squad car to South and Grand,
we got looters.Copy !req
545. Have some good news for me,
Mendez, please.Copy !req
546. The hospital's on reserve power
just like us.Copy !req
547. The Ghost is tapped
into fire, ambulance and police dispatch.Copy !req
548. We're operating blind.Copy !req
549. Well, we can't just ram into the brewery
and take the guy on.Copy !req
550. We don't know what the Ghost has
or what he's become.Copy !req
551. You defeated him with this
once before. Maybe it'll work again.Copy !req
552. That's Popular Science 101
compared to what he's got now...Copy !req
553. what he is now.
Anyway, it's broken.Copy !req
554. I'll fix it. Give me an hour.Copy !req
555. You think this has a chance
of working?Copy !req
556. There's only one way we'll find out
if this rig'll produce power.Copy !req
557. Good job, Barry.Copy !req
558. Okay.Copy !req
559. So let's take this relic into the '90s.Copy !req
560. You can't really expect that
to work twice.Copy !req
561. The future belongs
to the young.Copy !req
562. I can handle Night Shade myself,
it's the Flash I'm concerned about.Copy !req
563. Make sure he doesn't get in here.Copy !req
564. I have a universe of microchip
technology at my fingertips.Copy !req
565. But when it comes to disposing
of old things, the old ways are still best.Copy !req
566. The old ways. Works for me.Copy !req
567. Welcome to my world...Copy !req
568. where you, my friend,
have no power whatsoever!Copy !req
569. Now I could just wipe you away...Copy !req
570. but first you must sample
my programming.Copy !req
571. Tranquilizer darts.Copy !req
572. - Night Shade!
- That's right. Night Shade.Copy !req
573. At least I haven't lost it all.Copy !req
574. Ah, ah, ah. Don't touch that dial.Copy !req
575. Case closed, Night Shade.Copy !req
576. What? Look! The lights
are coming back on!Copy !req
577. Dr. Powell.Copy !req
578. I've learned a lot working with you.Copy !req
579. Yeah? Well, the next time you need me
for one of these little romps...Copy !req
580. forget about it. I'm retired.Copy !req
581. I guess we're lucky we're not dead...Copy !req
582. or in a straitjacket.Copy !req
583. There's not many people
who will ever know the thrill...Copy !req
584. when the sky goes dark,
the masks go on...Copy !req
585. and the criminal hearts
thump with fear.Copy !req
586. Sorry...Copy !req
587. too many pulp magazines
when I was a kid.Copy !req
588. But you know what I mean.Copy !req
589. Do you ever reveal your secret
to anyone?Copy !req
590. I have someone I share it with.Copy !req
591. She helps keep me
on an even course.Copy !req
592. She?Copy !req
593. Good for you.Copy !req
594. But if you ever need
anyone else to talk to...Copy !req
595. I'm here.Copy !req
596. It does get difficult sometimes...Copy !req
597. - ... speaking behind a mask.
- No. Don't.Copy !req
598. I don't need to know.Copy !req
599. And you don't need the complication.Copy !req
600. You know, you ought to start
your own trophy room.Copy !req
601. Allow me to donate the first exhibit.Copy !req
602. And remember, my fast friend...Copy !req
603. these outfits we wear are just another
suit of clothes, not another man.Copy !req
