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