00:04I can't hear, so I'm going to move to...
00:07It's a neglected sense.
00:08Dangerous sound.
00:12Shreve, what are you trying to...
00:20Shreve!
00:25See Mr. Powers?
00:28Just an illusion.
00:32I knew that.
00:33Of course.
00:34But after all the research money you've given me, I thought you deserved a demonstration.
00:40Frankly, I was hoping for more.
00:42More, you say?
00:46Look at this sound suit.
00:48I just finished it.
00:49It's got four built-in sound generators.
00:51Is it any better than an old boom box?
00:54Different kind of boom.
00:55Watch.
00:58It generates ultra-low-frequency vibrations, which I can aim in any direction.
01:07Impressive.
01:08Impressive.
01:09Imagine the time and effort this suit would save construction workers, road builders, dynamite's cheaper.
01:16But Shreve, you're just not a practical guy.
01:19All that's ever mattered to you is your research, which is why I had to bail out your company.
01:24And now it's time for me to see some return on my invention.
01:34I want you to solve a problem for me.
01:37What?
01:38Not what.
01:39Who?
01:41This company has always meant a great deal to me.
01:44But now I'm ashamed of it.
01:49Ashamed of the way it's forgotten its history.
01:52Ashamed of how it's going to rip the heart out of this city.
01:57I'm referring to a plan by the current leadership of Wayne Powers to purchase Gotham City's historical district
02:03and then bulldoze it to make room for another soulless industrial complex.
02:08Really?
02:10Is that what we want?
02:12Or do we want a city that remembers its history?
02:16A city where ideals flow from the past.
02:20Defining our present and shaping our future.
02:30The old boy's in rare form today.
02:33He's been on me for weeks about this.
02:35But it won't be lasting much longer.
02:37Why not?
02:39Because...
02:40Mr. Chairman, I move we convene a stockholders meeting next week
02:43so this matter can be put to a vote.
02:46Second?
02:47Yes.
02:48Yes.
02:48All right.
02:50I'll notify the stockholders.
02:52Meeting adjourned.
03:03He wants to kill Bruce Wayne so he can't pass that bill or whatever.
03:10How'd it go?
03:11The way I wanted.
03:12Must have been pretty important to get you out of that house.
03:14Especially in daylight.
03:16Huh.
03:17I'll show you.
03:25The city council's been trying to preserve this area.
03:29But you know what it's like getting extra tax money.
03:32Why spend it on this?
03:33I mean, it's old.
03:34Who cares?
03:36I do.
03:38That theater.
03:39It was...
03:39Crime Alley.
03:40It was where my parents and I went the night they were.
03:44I'd think you'd want it to be torn down.
03:46So maybe after all these years you could finally forget.
03:51Do you want to forget what happened to your father?
03:56Something's bugging the mutt.
04:14You know, he just broke that like it was nothing.
04:17The old man strength on Bruce is something different.
04:41Easy boy, easy.
04:44What's the matter, boy?
05:03Earthquake?
05:03Not like any I've ever been in.
05:05Well, whatever it is, I can think of better places to be right now.
05:17You know this guy?
05:18Sorry, not one of mine.
05:54So much for memories.
05:57Looks like you've added a third memory to your rose gallery.
06:01Mr. Wayne!
06:09Now, now,
06:10I said get out!
06:16You can go in now, if you want to.
06:21Can you believe it?
06:22They want to keep me in here overnight.
06:24Why don't you relax and make it a little vacation?
06:26And while you're here, I'll figure out who that guy in the suit was.
06:29Yeah, eat your jello.
06:32So you're a detective now?
06:34Been watching you long enough.
06:35Besides, I got a lead.
06:39How was I supposed to know Batman would be there?
06:42Batman's everywhere these days.
06:44Everywhere.
06:45At least I knocked down one of those buildings for you.
06:47Well, whoop-dee-doo.
06:49It's the land I want.
06:51And unless I can shut Wayne up, the stockholders will never authorize the purchase.
06:55Don't worry.
06:56Next time I'll get him.
06:58Guaranteed.
06:59Haven't you been listening?
07:00It's over.
07:01Wayne's in the hospital now, with guards.
07:04There's no way you could get to him.
07:06I wouldn't be so sure of that.
07:09Sound can travel anywhere.
07:16Bruce.
07:19Who's there?
07:21Where are you?
07:22There's something you must do.
07:29Okay, we know it's some kind of sound generator.
07:32So now what?
07:42Computer, analyze the metal this thing's made of.
07:48Computer?
07:48Incorrect command.
07:51Uh, do the thing where you figure out what it's made of.
07:54Request for spectrographic analysis.
07:57Uh, yeah, that's it.
07:57What you said.
08:00Analysis proceeding.
08:08Copper, iron, and...
08:10Acoustium?
08:11Computer.
08:12Acoustium.
08:15A new alloy that amplifies sound vibrations.
08:18Makes sense.
08:20Developed by Shreve Sound Laboratory, Gotham City.
08:24And the old man thought I couldn't do this stuff on my own.
08:26Here's your gun.
08:29Go away!
08:30I don't want to hear you!
08:31It's for your own good.
08:33Now get up.
08:36Go to the window.
08:39What for?
08:40Go.
08:48Open it.
08:53Open it.
08:55Open it.
08:56Open it.
08:58Open it.
08:59Open it.
09:01Open it.
09:02Open it.
09:03Open it.
09:04Open it.
09:08You know what you have to do.
09:14Ugh, who are you?
09:16Why are you saying these things to me?
09:18I want to help you. I'm you. No. Who else could I be?
09:23You can't be me.
09:34Mr. Wayne, what's wrong?
09:42Voices. Listen.
09:44Voices?
09:45Voices. Wow. The world's greatest detective at work. That totally doesn't make you sound like an insane person by saying
09:54you hear voices that nobody else can hear. That's not very smart.
10:00Can't you hear them?
10:01Maybe you should get back to bed.
10:06Orderlies! Orderlies!
10:11Do it. Do it.
10:14Do it. Do it.
10:22Can I help you?
10:24Yeah. Here's your pizza, Chief.
10:27I didn't order anything.
10:28Huh? Oh, this is the address I wrote down.
10:30There must be some kind of mistake.
10:32Yeah, mine. And now I gotta pay for it.
10:35Extra large.
10:36Too big for one person.
10:40Sound engineer, huh?
10:41That must be the coolest job in the world.
10:44There are good days and bad days.
10:47What's this?
10:48Put it to your ear.
10:51Hey! Music!
10:52A microfilament transmitter receiver.
10:55Picks up radio signals.
10:57Cool.
10:58What's this do?
10:59Don't touch that!
11:04What was that?
11:05Sound masking.
11:07See, sound moves in waves.
11:10The masker instantly plays back whatever sound it picks up.
11:13Slightly out of phase.
11:15So the waves cancel each other out.
11:17No waves.
11:17No sound.
11:18Shway!
11:19He can turn sound on and off.
11:22He's a dangerous man with that power.
11:25He really shouldn't be working for anybody.
11:28He should be doing the villainous stuff on his own.
11:34Yeah.
11:35Now it's getting laid and I still have things to do, so...
11:39Wait, what about those, you know, sound vibrations?
11:42Sound vibrations?
11:43Yeah, I heard about them the other day.
11:45Some of them can knock over a tree.
11:47So they say.
11:48So, you know anything about them?
11:51Who are you?
11:52What do you really want?
11:54Hey, man.
11:55I didn't mean nothing.
11:56You want to know about sound vibrations?
11:57Would you like to see how they can split your skull?
12:02There's no way out.
12:06Hey!
12:38He must be really intelligent to find out Terry was really actually trying to suss him out.
12:44Right there.
12:46Right there.
12:49Right there.
12:52Right there.
12:53Right there.
12:57Right there.
13:00Is he all right?
13:01He's in the psych ward.
13:03He started hearing voices.
13:05Voices?
13:06Age can do tragic things to a person.
13:09But I wouldn't worry about it.
13:11He's going to be in the best of hands.
13:13Mine.
13:15Really?
13:20Bears.
13:21He has no wife.
13:22No children.
13:23Me.
13:25Are you sure he has no children?
13:27Are you really sure?
13:30Is Bruce Wayne sure he has no children?
13:34I could do it.
13:36Awfully young, aren't you?
13:38Awfully slimy, aren't you?
13:40Careful.
13:40The courts are very strict about slander.
13:43Yeah?
13:44Then let's see how they handle assault.
13:51You should know something about the psych ward here.
13:54There's always room for one more.
14:00You're lucky you have people protecting you.
14:09I can never go back to my lab again.
14:11And it's all your fault.
14:15That's not going to help.
14:17No, but it'll make me feel better.
14:19You should be feeling fine anyway.
14:21And why is that?
14:22Because your costume gives you power.
14:25Real power.
14:27Ever had that before?
14:28No.
14:29Not really.
14:30It's no small thing.
14:32Trust me.
14:33But I can't show my face anymore.
14:35Or use my name.
14:36The face is no loss.
14:38And if you miss your name, I'll give you another one.
14:40One that fits your new persona.
14:43Hmm.
14:44Shriek.
14:46Shriek?
14:47Not a friendly name, I grant you.
14:49But take it from me.
14:50It's better to be feared than loved.
14:53Shriek.
14:55Now go forth and do damage.
14:57But don't forget, you still owe me Bruce Wayne.
15:01What if Batman gets into it again?
15:03Kill him.
15:08The food.
15:09It's poison.
15:11They're trying to kill you.
15:13Shut up!
15:13Don't eat.
15:14Don't eat.
15:16Don't eat.
15:18Don't eat.
15:20Quiet!
15:22Quiet.
15:35I've been hearing these voices.
15:38I know.
15:39They think I'm crazy.
15:41We'll talk about it back home.
15:42We're not going anywhere until I figure out where the voices are coming from.
15:46But the orderlies could come in at any second.
15:48Check the light fixture.
15:50There might be a speaker hidden in it.
15:52You can't be serious.
15:53Check it!
15:56See?
15:56Nothing.
15:57Then the sound's got to be coming from the walls.
16:00Strip them.
16:00I can't strip the...
16:02Wait a minute.
16:04The bandage.
16:05What are you doing?
16:06Ow!
16:08Big bandage for such a small wound.
16:11It's a two-way radio.
16:12Guy named Shreve makes them.
16:14He's the one who knocked down the police station.
16:16He probably bribed a nurse to put that thing in the bandage.
16:20Still think I'm crazy?
16:21It never occurred to me.
16:29You missed me, boy.
16:31He wasn't the...
16:32Yeah, yeah, you bums.
16:34You put me in a freaking padded cell.
16:39I'll own your hospital if I'm Bruce Wayne.
16:43The only one.
16:45Whatever building that is, I'll own it.
16:52Looks like the radio signal's coming from that factory by the hospital.
16:55And from there, I've got a feeling it's going to lead to powers.
16:58Doesn't take a detective to figure that one out.
17:11Yeah, the source is definitely in here somewhere.
17:14Not somewhere.
17:15Right behind you.
17:17You don't have to do this, Shreve.
17:19But I do.
17:20And the name Shreve now.
17:22I'll show you why.
17:50This isn't going to help you.
17:58It's a shame they were right about robots doing all our jobs.
18:15It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:16It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:16It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:17It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:18It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:20It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:21It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:23It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:23It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:23It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:24It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:24It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:25It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:26It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:28It's a shame they were right about robots.
18:55kind of quiet out there huh boy but you hear something don't you
19:10you
19:11you
19:19yeah
19:20yeah
19:20yeah
19:26Help! Help! Help! Help!
19:38Get up.
19:48No.
19:49No!
19:53It has been moved and seconded that-
19:56Yes, that's what sound can't hear anymore.
20:00Wayne Powers tender an offer to the city in order to expand into the historical district.
20:05All in favor?
20:07Aye.
20:09Opposed?
20:10Nay.
20:12The motion is defeated.
20:14Meeting adjourned.
20:19Too bad Shreve's too freaked out to testify against that weasel.
20:22Maybe when his hearing comes back. If it ever does.
20:26Tell me something. Why were you so sure those voices weren't coming from you?
20:30Well first, I know I'm not psychotic.
20:32I hope your other reason is more convincing.
20:34And second, the voice kept calling me Bruce. In my mind, that's not what I call myself.
20:40What do you call-
20:41Oh yeah. Reminder.
20:43Bruce Wayne is the alter ego.
20:47About yourself.
20:51Oh yeah. I suppose you would.
20:54But that's my name now.
20:56Hmm. Tell that to my subconscious.
