1
00:00:28,595 --> 00:00:33,590
<i>Master Bruce, haven't we discussed
not staying out late on school nights?</i>

2
00:00:33,767 --> 00:00:34,996
What is it, Alfred?

3
00:00:35,168 --> 00:00:38,263
<i>I thought it fit to remind you of your
meeting with the mayor tomorrow.</i>

4
00:00:38,438 --> 00:00:41,874
<i>Actually, that would be
this morning, now.</i>

5
00:00:42,309 --> 00:00:46,007
The glass has been seared. Just like
at the research lab two nights ago.

6
00:00:47,214 --> 00:00:48,773
Off you go, then.

7
00:01:22,215 --> 00:01:23,444
Working late?

8
00:01:23,617 --> 00:01:26,643
The night shift. Like you, Batman.

9
00:03:02,282 --> 00:03:03,841
You're full of surprises.

10
00:03:04,017 --> 00:03:06,008
I'm Firefly. Get it?

11
00:03:06,186 --> 00:03:08,280
Fire and fly.

12
00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:28,772
You're gonna pay for that.

13
00:03:34,081 --> 00:03:36,015
Next time.

14
00:03:53,166 --> 00:03:55,533
Alfred, I've met our arsonist.

15
00:03:55,702 --> 00:03:58,694
He targets computers. Not sure why.

16
00:03:58,872 --> 00:04:02,740
But he has a jet pack and laser technology
like nothing I've ever...

17
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:04,570
Alfred?

18
00:04:07,848 --> 00:04:09,976
Firefly, huh?

19
00:04:20,327 --> 00:04:22,762
Don't let that photograph
fool you, Bruce.

20
00:04:22,929 --> 00:04:26,365
I may be holding that fish,
but your father caught it.

21
00:04:26,533 --> 00:04:29,992
Dad always did subscribe to charity,
Mayor Grange.

22
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:32,332
Bruce, it's been too long.

23
00:04:32,506 --> 00:04:35,771
But unfortunately,
I didn't call you here for a social visit.

24
00:04:37,043 --> 00:04:38,636
Wayne Foundation business?

25
00:04:38,812 --> 00:04:41,338
Bruce, there's no easy way to say this.

26
00:04:41,515 --> 00:04:44,917
As you may know, the city's
about to award the contract to rebuild...

27
00:04:45,085 --> 00:04:47,520
and expand the children's hospital.

28
00:04:47,687 --> 00:04:49,416
Right. To the Wayne Foundation.

29
00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:53,582
The city council
is leaning toward Gothcorp.

30
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,194
- What?
- Bruce...

31
00:04:55,362 --> 00:04:58,388
Wayne Industries and the Foundation
have supported the hospital...

32
00:04:58,565 --> 00:05:01,296
- since my father founded it.
- Bruce...

33
00:05:01,468 --> 00:05:04,165
Gothcorp isn't known
for its acts of public service.

34
00:05:04,337 --> 00:05:07,136
They're known for allegations,
investigations, resignations.

35
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:08,775
Too many "ations" for my taste.

36
00:05:08,942 --> 00:05:13,504
Bruce, the council isn't concerned
with Gothcorp's reputation.

37
00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:19,218
They're leery of yours.

38
00:05:19,386 --> 00:05:22,617
- Mine?
- Your public image.

39
00:05:22,789 --> 00:05:25,724
Well, let's just say
it doesn't inspire much confidence.

40
00:05:25,892 --> 00:05:28,884
Look, your father was
one of my closest friends.

41
00:05:29,062 --> 00:05:30,689
I see him in you.

42
00:05:30,864 --> 00:05:33,890
But the council,
they see you as, well...

43
00:05:34,067 --> 00:05:35,728
A party boy.

44
00:05:35,902 --> 00:05:39,099
Mayor Grange, let me make the case
for the Wayne Foundation.

45
00:05:39,272 --> 00:05:41,434
Give me the chance to convince them.

46
00:05:43,810 --> 00:05:45,107
Please.

47
00:05:45,745 --> 00:05:51,115
The council's voting on the contract
tomorrow at 8:00 a.m., sharp.

48
00:05:51,952 --> 00:05:53,818
And wear a tie.

49
00:05:53,987 --> 00:05:56,854
I'll be here at the top of my game.

50
00:06:00,227 --> 00:06:03,094
Eight a.m. is bright and early for you,
Master Bruce.

51
00:06:04,130 --> 00:06:06,724
Perhaps you should think
about getting some rest.

52
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:09,631
No. Not until I've gathered
enough ammo...

53
00:06:09,803 --> 00:06:12,704
regarding Gothcorp's
questionable business practices.

54
00:06:13,406 --> 00:06:16,535
The children's hospital was
my father's personal cause, Alfred.

55
00:06:17,043 --> 00:06:20,377
I need to be certain
I can sway the council's vote.

56
00:06:21,047 --> 00:06:22,947
The Batwave.

57
00:06:24,885 --> 00:06:26,319
Police alert.

58
00:06:26,486 --> 00:06:28,716
The security system
of a law firm's been tripped.

59
00:06:28,889 --> 00:06:30,880
On the 64th floor?

60
00:06:31,057 --> 00:06:33,116
Firefly.

61
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:36,389
I can't be in two places at once.

62
00:06:36,563 --> 00:06:39,658
I'm quite the researcher,
you know, sir.

63
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:43,468
Thank you, Alfred.
I won't be long.

64
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:26,268
Firefly's work, all right.

65
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:29,882
But a law firm doesn't fit the profile.

66
00:07:32,185 --> 00:07:35,450
Well, well. So the bat has wings.

67
00:07:55,241 --> 00:07:57,835
You got some wings.
Let's play some chicken.

68
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:01,142
Oh, no.

69
00:08:06,987 --> 00:08:09,888
Tear gas?
I'll give you something to cry about.

70
00:08:33,580 --> 00:08:35,173
He's toying with me.

71
00:08:48,094 --> 00:08:50,119
So long, Batman.

72
00:08:56,870 --> 00:09:00,738
<i>Master Bruce? Master Bruce?
Are you there?</i>

73
00:09:00,907 --> 00:09:03,171
<i>Please answer.</i>

74
00:09:06,513 --> 00:09:08,607
<i>Master Bruce, are you all right?</i>

75
00:09:11,451 --> 00:09:13,317
Alfred?

76
00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:17,755
<i>I've been trying to reach you for hours.</i>

77
00:09:17,924 --> 00:09:19,483
<i>- The communicator wasn't-</i>-
- Hours?

78
00:09:20,460 --> 00:09:22,724
Alfred, what time is it?

79
00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:25,297
<i>Five minutes to 8.</i>

80
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:32,432
<i>The council's voting on the contract
at 8:00 a.m., sharp.</i>

81
00:09:35,341 --> 00:09:36,672
Do you have the research?

82
00:09:36,843 --> 00:09:40,279
In the Batmobile with a fresh
change of clothes and your electric razor.

83
00:09:43,650 --> 00:09:44,981
Don't forget the tie.

84
00:09:57,197 --> 00:09:59,996
Wait! Wait, you blasted machine!

85
00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:37,126
Great. No tie.

86
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:59,084
I don't know. I don't see
why we should wait for him.

87
00:10:59,626 --> 00:11:01,321
Council members.

88
00:11:08,168 --> 00:11:10,000
Forgive me for running late, gentlemen.

89
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:14,630
I had a fender-bender on the way,
but I'm here now, and I've prepared...

90
00:11:14,807 --> 00:11:16,707
I'm sorry, Bruce.

91
00:11:18,244 --> 00:11:20,440
The vote has been cast.

92
00:11:21,848 --> 00:11:24,943
I see.

93
00:11:25,118 --> 00:11:27,246
Thank you, council members.

94
00:11:31,724 --> 00:11:34,716
Well, he's no Thomas Wayne.

95
00:11:39,933 --> 00:11:42,459
I failed twice today, Alfred.

96
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:46,062
As the Batman and as Bruce Wayne.

97
00:11:47,407 --> 00:11:50,399
I tried to do everything
and failed to accomplish anything.

98
00:11:50,577 --> 00:11:54,810
You are, after all,
only one man, Master Bruce.

99
00:11:54,981 --> 00:11:57,279
Then maybe it's time
to turn Wayne Industries...

100
00:11:57,450 --> 00:12:00,545
over to someone capable of running
the business side of things.

101
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,054
Maybe it's time to be a full-time Batman.

102
00:12:04,224 --> 00:12:08,286
Or a full-time Bruce Wayne.

103
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:17,901
<i>Police are still investigating
this stream of arsons plaguing Gotham.</i>

104
00:12:18,071 --> 00:12:19,835
<i>The latest victim is a law firm...</i>

105
00:12:20,006 --> 00:12:22,634
<i>which represents many of
Gotham's industrial clients.</i>

106
00:12:22,809 --> 00:12:27,144
<i>The firm handled major bankruptcy cases,
including Gotham Telecommunications...</i>

107
00:12:27,313 --> 00:12:29,111
Bankruptcy?

108
00:12:29,282 --> 00:12:31,182
Those companies were arson victims too.

109
00:12:31,351 --> 00:12:32,978
<i>In other news tonight...</i>

110
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:38,581
"Gotham Telecom
declares bankruptcy after arson."

111
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:42,285
Who'd profit from these companies
being out of business?

112
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:47,260
Gothcorp. That's who.

113
00:12:47,433 --> 00:12:49,458
It was staring me in the face
the whole time.

114
00:12:49,636 --> 00:12:50,967
Firefly doesn't commit arson.

115
00:12:51,137 --> 00:12:54,801
He commits corporate sabotage,
and he's working for Gothcorp.

116
00:12:54,974 --> 00:12:59,070
It's no wonder that Gothcorp is so interested
in funding the children's hospital.

117
00:12:59,245 --> 00:13:02,613
Nothing like a little good PR
to distract the public from dirty business.

118
00:13:03,182 --> 00:13:08,951
Perhaps the Batman and Bruce Wayne can
work together to stop Firefly and Gothcorp.

119
00:13:09,289 --> 00:13:11,951
The Batman will fight fire with fire.

120
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:17,188
But first, Bruce Wayne needs to lead
a certain moth to flame.

121
00:13:18,231 --> 00:13:22,668
<i>And in business, local billionaire
Bruce Wayne was in the spotlight again...</i>

122
00:13:22,835 --> 00:13:25,497
<i>this time with breaking news
at Wayne Industries.</i>

123
00:13:25,772 --> 00:13:27,035
<i>I can't reveal details...</i>

124
00:13:27,206 --> 00:13:30,574
<i>but in the next few days,
Wayne Industries will unveil a prototype...</i>

125
00:13:30,743 --> 00:13:33,769
<i>that will make us the premiere
technologies company in Gotham.</i>

126
00:13:33,946 --> 00:13:36,745
<i>In fact, it will set
the tech world on fire.</i>

127
00:13:36,916 --> 00:13:39,681
<i>Are you concerned
about competition from Gothcorp?</i>

128
00:13:39,852 --> 00:13:43,482
<i>Let's just say I wouldn't
wanna be Gothcorp right now.</i>

129
00:13:47,460 --> 00:13:48,723
Yeah, I'm watching it.

130
00:13:49,629 --> 00:13:51,495
No problem.

131
00:13:51,798 --> 00:13:53,061
My usual rate.

132
00:13:53,232 --> 00:13:55,599
I understand, like the others.

133
00:13:55,768 --> 00:14:00,035
Wayne Industries will go down in flames.

134
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:46,250
Firefly.

135
00:14:46,419 --> 00:14:47,818
Batman.

136
00:14:47,987 --> 00:14:50,285
I see you survived your crackup.

137
00:14:50,456 --> 00:14:52,356
I know about Gothcorp.

138
00:14:52,525 --> 00:14:54,789
What, is that a rock band or something?

139
00:14:54,961 --> 00:14:57,362
For someone who has fun
scorching tech companies...

140
00:14:57,530 --> 00:15:00,192
hard to believe
you've never heard of them.

141
00:15:03,136 --> 00:15:06,003
You're done, Firefly. Cooked.

142
00:15:06,172 --> 00:15:07,571
Says who?

143
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:14,243
No one touches me in the sky.

144
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,623
- What?
- This time, I brought the heat.

145
00:15:45,845 --> 00:15:49,042
Handles nice.
But does it have horsepower?

146
00:16:32,058 --> 00:16:34,550
I'm moving to Metropolis.

147
00:17:42,495 --> 00:17:44,020
Last chance, Firefly.

148
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,793
You're empty.

149
00:17:55,942 --> 00:17:58,707
Just you and me.

150
00:18:08,254 --> 00:18:10,882
No one touches me.

151
00:18:11,057 --> 00:18:13,082
"In the sky"?

152
00:18:40,753 --> 00:18:43,222
Face facts, Firefly.

153
00:18:43,389 --> 00:18:45,517
You've been burned.

154
00:18:57,737 --> 00:19:00,229
"Gothcorp employee of the month"?

155
00:19:07,647 --> 00:19:10,548
Well, based on recent facts
that have come to light...

156
00:19:10,716 --> 00:19:15,552
I suggest the council recast their vote
in the matter of the children's hospital...

157
00:19:15,721 --> 00:19:20,750
as well as all contracts
currently held by Gothcorp.

158
00:19:22,461 --> 00:19:24,930
Yes, well...
As you know...

159
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:26,565
Terrible situation, of course.

160
00:19:26,732 --> 00:19:29,292
Very embarrassing for us.

161
00:19:29,635 --> 00:19:34,072
Bruce, your father would be
proud of you if he were here today.

162
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,404
Thank you, Mayor Grange.

163
00:19:36,776 --> 00:19:40,713
I like to think there's more to me
than a good-looking tie.
