Talk, talk, talk. Let's dance.
S1 E15Unfinished Business
So the judge was lenient, I'm glad.
My dad cooperated in every way. Of course, he won't be home for a while, and there's that fine...
Yeah, I heard you lost the car.
You meet more interesting people on public transportation.
You know, I've got my sister's car while she's out of town. You ever need a ride, I'm there.
You never made that offer to me.
Maybe 'cause you're spoiled.
City Hall? Better be careful.
Always am.
Yes, but you've never had to face politicians before.
[hosting a show] And then there's rocker Jamie Jerald. She must know that splicing's against the law. Yet here she is just a day ago, meeting with one of the town's most notorious genetic suppliers. Maybe hard-rocking Jamie's out to become the real dragon lady of the music biz!
[Jamie Jerald angrily flicks out her forked tongue as she watches]
[On "The Inside Peek"]
Come on, it's just entertainment.
You wouldn't find it so entertaining if you were on the receiving end.
Having those stomach problems again?
Yeah-huh. It's probably just tension.
Well, I'd be tense too if I was out there exposing the mob.
They're nothing to worry about. I'm untouchable.
That's exactly what I think - untouchable. [turns off his camouflage]
[to the manager] Don't you have a boot to lick? [to Batman] You were saying?
I'm saying that you, or someone who works for you, figured out a way of moving through walls.
Moving through walls? If I could do that, I'd be a very rich reporter.
You are.
I always assumed I'd be found out sooner or later. It's just galling that a piece of garbage like Peek had to be the one.
I was half expecting you. Come on in... Terry. Once I saw that the old guy was Bruce Wayne, it wasn't hard to figure out who you were. He was the original Batman, wasn't he? Wasn't he?
[storming up to Peek and removing his mask] I don't care what you do to me, but he doesn't deserve this. He's done too much for this city to wind up in the middle of a media circus.
He means a lot to you, doesn't he?
Yeah, he does.
I believe you. I really do. That's the trouble with this business. You meet so many liars, you forget what sincerity sounds like. Want to say it all again while I've got the camera rolling?
Aren't you the one who didn't want us watching this? You said I wouldn't find it so entertaining if I was on the receiving end.
Yeah, well, what do I know?
[In response to a man who have acknowledged Terry's identity as Batman]
Mom, Matt, there's something I need to tell you.
After the show, dear.
No! It can't wait! I-I'm... Batman.
[Matt and Mary laugh]
Seriously, I am!
Terry, please!
Why'd you call me here?
I can't control it anymore. And it's happening without the belt! [shows the intangible hole in his stomach]
So what do you want from me?
My body's losing its substance. You gotta help me. You have the resources, that company, all those scientists.
There are other companies.
Yes, but Taka worked for yours.
What does he have to do with this?
I was the last one to interview him.
Taka would never have talked to someone like you.
[smirking] You'd be surprised how obsequious someone like me can be when I need to. I have Taka's files and research right in there. [nods towards his computer] I even have the belt he made.
[grabs him, outraged] You stole it! You're the one who started the fire!
I had to have it. To him it was just some experiment, but to me it was power. A chance to kick my career into high gear!
[Disgusted, Bruce turns to leave]
You can't leave. You gotta help me! [grabs Bruce's shoulder]
Give me one good reason.
I know your secret! I know who you used to be! [his head becomes intangible]
[smiling darkly] You're losing your head.
[With his intangibility going completely out of control, Peek is pulled downwards by gravity, screaming and falling through several floors before starting to sink into the ground]
Peek! You gotta stay solid! Concentrate! Concentrate!
[Batman grabs Peek by the arm and tries to save him, but Peek phases right through his grip, and he can only watch as Peek sobs and even laughs in maddened terror before disappearing entirely]
What's gonna happen to him?
My guess? He'll keep right on falling till he reaches the center of the Earth. It's about as "inside" as you can get.
What does she want with rubies?
I don't know, but I'll bet she's not making slippers.
Slippers, from rubies?!
Before your time.
What I need from you is...
[School bell rings]
It'll have to wait till tonight. I got to get to class. It's family studies, and I'm failing.
[Comlink goes offline, Bruce faces his dog, Ace]
How does someone fail family studies?
[Eggbaby is crying over the comlink]
What's going on there? Is that a baby?
Um.
You brought a baby with you?
It's not what you think, really.
Terry, is there something you need to tell me?
