Woah...what the heck happened?
The party peaked early.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
You're all infected with the disease of bureaucracy! But I know the cure, man! All of you must be destroyed! All of you!
When he comes, you have to hand him over.
If you take him in, it'll expose his secret. And mine. And yours.
What other choice do I have...do we have? Believe me, I'm acutely aware of the ramifications. I have a husband running for reelection. How long do you think that'll last once this hits the Web? No one can protect us this time, Bruce. He went too far.
Yes?
It's me.
You're not authorized to use this frequency. Get off it. Now!
Barbara, you have to listen to me.
Wrong. Those days are long gone, Bruce.
Didn't know you had a shadow, did you, Commissioner?
Spellbinder?!
He was there at the garage with us. He used his powers to create an illusion.
That's why I saw you kill Mad Stan.
But I didn't. I wouldn't.
[restrained by officers] You were so ready to believe the worst. It was easy.
Lock him up. [to Batman] Sorry, kid. I guess I blew it.
[smiling] I've been there.
By the way, have you heard about your so-called victim?
Mad Stan? Did they finally find him?
[smiles] Oh, yes.
[cut to Stan in front of City Hall]
[laughing manically] Finally, an end to the bureaucratic nightmare!
[He hits his triggers, and City Hall blows up]
No more graft! No more payoffs! NO MORE JURY DUTY!
[dissolve to outside Spellbinder's virtual reality booth, where the police are looking at Mad Stan, still laughing maniacally]
PPoliceman
Wonder what he's so happy about.
Specs on this model say the signal has a range of only two miles.
Well, how does that help us find the bomb?
This is why you should try to pay attention in geometry, McGinnis. Look: he reset the timer once here, where you met him; he was going to meet you at the park, so he would have had to set it there. And he must have set it at least once from the hotel...
[the radii from the 3 points overlap in only one small area]
And voila! Math is once again your friend.
How do you do it?
Do what?
This hero thing?
It's easier for me. I've got the suit.
No. How do you save the world... [excitedly] and not tell anybody?!
I can tell you. You can tell me. That's why I'm glad you found out...partner.
Let me see if I got all this: Jurgen is breaking up with Blades so he can see Chris, but Chris is interested in Eric, who doesn't want to date anybody. Now wait a minute, that doesn't sound like Eric to me.
It's not. You're thinking of the other Eric.
Aw, man, there's two of them now?
See how important these little updates are? Without them, people would start wondering why you don't know what's going on at school anymore.
I should just tell them I'm busy chasing renegade synthoids and living heads.
Max Gibson They wouldn't believe it.
Neither do I.
[As Batman listens in with his fingertip microphones]
DWDr. David Wheeler
...easiest thing in the world, being a teenager: you get up, you go to school, you come home, and you do your homework. How do you mess that up? Yet all of you did, in one way or another ― and now I have to clean up that mess!
He's been going on like this for hours, telling them how worthless they are, and how only he can help them. Won't even let 'em go to the bathroom!
Sleep deprivation, endless harangues; it's classic brainwashing. Some cults do it. It's also occasionally used on prisoners of war.
And Wheeler's doing it to kids.
What do we need more evidence for? You taped the feed from my fingertip mikes, didn't you? All you gotta do is take it to the authorities.
And what do I say when they ask me where I got it? A little bat left it on my front porch?
[realizes] Oh. You still got that plastic mini vid-cam? The one you can take through a metal detector?
I've got it, but you're not thinking of...
Some jobs are just too tough for Batman. That's when Terry McGinnis swings into action!
CCChelsea Cunningham
Listen, there's a lot of weird stuff going on here.
I know. Hold on a second.
[takes out his mini-camera and switches it on]
Okay, go.
CCChelsea Cunningham
The sleep thing's just the beginning, Terry. He's trying to break our will, turn us all into little robots. Wheeler's got this thing they call "ISO". Short for "isolation". It's total sense deprivation - no light, no sound. He uses it on the kids who don't get with the program. It...It... [starts breaking down] Terry, you've got to get me out of here!
That's gonna happen, Chels. Just as soon as someone I know sees this vid. In the meantime, just try to stay schway for another day or two, okay?
CCChelsea Cunningham
I'll try.
[Sean holds Wheeler over a long drop]
No!
SMSean Miller
Stay out of this!
You've made your point! This place is crashed and Wheeler's going to jail!
SMSean Miller
I don't care! The only reason I went along with it was cause I was hoping I could get a chance for this!
Don't you get it? You helped save everyone! You're a hero now!
SMSean Miller
A hero? [laughs cruelly]
[Sean drops Wheeler]
I got worried when you didn't come back.
Bet you brought one of your old Batsuits with you.
You'll never know.
I hope you don't think this place was typical.
No. But I sure wish we didn't need them.
I know.
[They both sadly watch as Sean gets loaded into a police car]
I know.
