Batman Beyond (1999–2001): Season 1, Episode 2 - Rebirth: Part 2 - full transcript

Determined to bring his father's murderers to justice, Terry finally impulsively resorts to using Wayne's last Batsuit to investigate as the new Batman.

ANNOUNCER: Previously
on Batman Beyond...

I asked you here,
Warren,

to clear up
any misconceptions

you might've gotten from that
incident with Mr. Tully.

Harry simply suffered
an allergic reaction

to a chemical compound
in the lab.

Oh, Warren.

There seems to be a file
missing from Harry's records.

Would you know
where it is?

Aah!

Leave him alone...



And get off my property.

M-my medicine.

At the house.

Dad?

Oh, my God.

Listen to me.

Something stinks
in your company!

I think it cost
my old man his life!

The answer's on this.

It's worse than I thought.

It's some kind
of new DNA mutagen.

Powers is making
nerve gas.

He's using my company
to make nerve gas.

Stay away from that.



Synaptic controls,

neuromuscular amplification,

flight capability. Humph.

This thing might be old,
but it's still cutting-edge.

Bet it amplifies your
strength by at least 10 to 1.

I told you
not to touch it.

- But aren't you gonna go to--
- No!

You built that company,

and now Powers
is making nerve gas there.

You gotta do something.

You're Batman.

I was Batman.

Give this to commissioner
Barbara Gordon.

Tell her I sent you.

The cops?
They'll never be able to--

Do it.

Something happened
to you, didn't it?

And it wasn't just
that you got old.

Hey!

Oops.

Hello, Terry.

Ever had a ride
in a limo?

My dad always told me to never
take rides from strangers.

Who's a stranger?

Besides, your dad's
not around anymore.

Be smart, Terry.

Get in.

I'll pass.

Let go of me!

What are you doing?
You some kind of sicko?

Help! Help!

That won't do you
any good, Terry.

Why don't you make
it easy on yourself

and give me back
my disk?

What disk?

You know what
I'm talking about.

All right.

If he lets go.

Happy?

Unh!

POWERS: Enough.

Well, at least
I've got the evidence.

Gotham rolled out
the red carpet today

for Kasnian Minister of
Commerce Vilmos Egans.

Mr. Egans is here to take part
in the World-Trade Confab

and was greeted by no less than
Wayne-Powers C.E.O. Derek Powers.

[DOG BARKING]

What is it?

What's the matter, boy?

[BARKING]

[BARKING]

[GRUNTING]

Ohh.

Better.

POWERS: It's the ultimate
in germ warfare.

A viral mutagen
so quick-acting

and completely invasive,

no living cell
can resist it.

It all began
with experiments on plants.

Impressive.

But we are looking
to do more

than wipe out our enemies'
crops, Mr. Powers.

Keep watching.

This was our first
experiment with livestock.

POWERS: I trust
the film puts to rest

any lingering doubts,
Mr. Egans.

As you can see,
the results are the same,

even with animals.

And humans?

You've tested it
on them, too?

The laws here aren't as liberal
about that sort of thing

as they are
in your country,

but we did have
a little accident--

One of my workers.

Terrible thing.

There was a gas leak
in his lab.

This was what he looked
like the next day.

2 hours later.

An hour after that.

There is no cure?

Extreme heat
or radiation,

but at this stage, it's
obviously not an option.

Dust to dust.

Consider what
a real dose of this gas

could do to those
six armored divisions

your neighbors
keep on your border.

Gone...

In a matter
of hours.

Delivery,
it's in progress?

My men are loading the
canisters as we speak.

They leave tonight
on hover transport.

My assistant
Mr. Fixx

will personally
supervise the shipment.

Excellent.

Good-bye, Mr. Powers.

I will see you again soon.

I hope.

Yes, soon.

Mr. Fixx, any word
on the kid?

Not yet,
but they're looking.

I don't have to tell you
how important

this deal is
to Wayne-Powers.

It's going to open up the
entire eastern bloc for us,

so I don't need it spoiled
by a snot-nosed punk.

I took care
of his old man, didn't I?

MAN: Little early
for Halloween.

But just in time
for fall.

Hit the alarms!

[ALARM BLARING]

It's Powers.
What's going on?

Batman?

Or some guy
dressed like him.

We're cutting him off.
Shouldn't be a problem.

Ha ha ha ha!

Batman.

McGinnis.

Can you hear me?

Who-who's that?

It's Wayne.

Mr. Wayne?

W-where are you?

In the radio receiver
in your cowl.

Now listen to me, McGinnis.

I want that suit back,

and I want it now.

Uh, now's
not a good time.

That suit is not yours.

You had no right!

Somebody had
to do something,

and you sure
weren't about to.

I'm warning you.

He's over there!

Over there!

This suit works even better
than I thought it would.

WAYNE: This is
your last chance.

Better take it.

No, thanks.

Having too much fun.

Fun, huh?

Oof!

Aah!

He's mine!

Hey...

I can't move.

What'd you do?

WAYNE: It's
a fail-safe device--

paralyzes the suit

in case the wrong person
gets into it.

But you can't.

I just did.

Hey... Hey!

Oof!

Come on.
You gotta help me.

[KICKING AND GROANING]

GUARD: Give him another...

[KICKING AND GRUNTING]

[WHINES]

Out of the way.

[COCKS GUN]

Wayne, they're
gonna kill me.

Yeah!

WAYNE: McGinnis,
I gave you a break.

Now bring that suit back.

Love to,

but I got these guards
all over me.

There's a broom closet
on the north wall.

Can you get to it?

A broom closet?

Do it.

Did you see him?
Where is he?

This way. This way.
Ok, let's go!

Now I'm a sitting duck.

Hope you're happy.

The far wall--

put your hand
against it.

Press hard.

[GRUNTS]

Cool.

WAYNE: I built the place,
remember.

Then you'd know where they'd
be loading a hover transport,

wouldn't you?

Forget it.
You're coming back here.

Powers is shipping out
the virus tonight.

It's gotta be stopped.

I'll call the police.
Let them handle it.

I can do it!

I'll shut down
the suit again,

and this time,
it'll be for good.

McGINNIS: I read up
on you, Mr. Wayne.

I know how
you lost your folks.

The guy who murdered my dad
is on that transport.

This is my one chance
to nail him.

[SIGHS]

WAYNE: The hover pads
are in the northeast sector.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

[BEEPING]

[INAUDIBLE]

You said he wouldn't
be a problem.

Well, deal with it.

Almost done loading.

The sooner the better.

They haven't found
our trespasser yet,

and I don't want him
interfering.

Hey, look!
There he is!

[ALL GRUNTING]

You're out of business
as of now.

And as for you, Fixx,

I'm taking you in
for the murder of--

Unh!

Get that hovercraft
into the air!

[GROANS]

[GASPS]

[GRUNTING]

Unh!

Shut the cargo doors!

Like shooting skeet.

Aah!

Oof!

No.

[SCREAMS]

[COUGHING]

[GASPS]

Help me.

Help me!

- Whoa!
- Whoa!

Unh!

Oof!

You're pretty strong

for some clown
who thinks he's Batman.

I am Batman.

Unh!

Aah!

[GASPING]

[HORNS HONKING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

MARY: Terry. Honey?

Wha...

Quick. Get dressed.
We have company.

Company?

Mr. Bruce Wayne.

He's here to see you.

I hope you don't mind milk.
We're out of cream.

I prefer it.

Terence. Sorry to
get you up so early.

It's ok.

You never told me you
knew Bruce Wayne.

Well, actually, uh...

Why, I owe this boy
my life.

He defended me against a
bunch of hooligans once.

I tried to reward him,

but he absolutely refused.

Mr. Wayne wants
to offer you a job.

A job?

It's not much,
mind you.

I find that
in my old age,

I could use
a part-time assistant,

you know, a gofer--

Go fer this,
go fer that.

An ally, as it were.

Would you
be interested?

Of course he would.
Wouldn't you, honey?

I mean, to work with someone
as famous as Mr. Wayne...

Sure.

I warn you,

I can be a difficult
taskmaster.

I accept nothing short of excellence
from all who work for me.

I think
I can handle it.

Very good, then,
Mr. McGinnis.

Welcome to my world.

The good news is
the radiation

seems to have completely
eradicated the virus.

What's the bad news?

As you know, the mutational
properties of the virus

can be corrupted
by its environment. Unh!

Bottom-line it,
Doctor.

Kill the radiation,
please.
