"KATANA:" "Previously on Beware the Batman:" "When the lon Cortex goes online, all those lights will be connected." "BATMAN:" "You came up with the lon Cortex." "It looks like someone besides Wayne Industries wants it." "KATANA:" "That's why you're the target." "You saved my life." "[GRUNTING]" "[YELLS]" "CYPHER:" "Don't struggle." "I have your mind." "I have control." "[CYPHER HUMMING]" "[CAR HORN BLARING]" "[TIRES SQUEALING]" "[SIREN BLARING]" "POLICEMAN:" "You okay, fella?" "He has my mind." "He has control." "Who, buddy?" "Who has control?" "Cypher." "[KATANA GRUNTING]" "Too slow." "Too predictable." "Unh!" "[GRUNTING]" "[YELLS]" "Too angry." "[BRUCE GRUNTS]" "Too bad." "You've got the technique, but not the discipline." "Don't let your anger, your emotions, get the better of you." "Think with your head, not your heart." "[PHONE BUZZING]" "Jason?" "He keeps finding excuses to call me." "That's the fifth time today." "Want me to say something to him?" "No." "I mean, it's nothing I can't handle myself." "Will it be one straw or two for dinner this evening?" "Sorry, Alfred." "I kind of promised Jason I'd let him make dinner for me tonight." "I just hope the nerd can cook." "I know, I know." "Head, not heart." "Don't worry." "They're both well protected." "You might consider taking it a little easier on her." "I might, but I won't." "[COMPUTER BEEPING]" "Couldn't Lieutenant Gordon use something a little less obvious to contact you?" "BATMAN:" "I'm gonna need my dinner in a to-go cup." "[GASPS]" "[YELLS AND GASPS]" "[MELLOW JAZZ music PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]" "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "Oh!" "Heh." "Welcome to my humble" "[GASPS]" "[GRUNTING]" "Jason?" "What are you doing?" "Uh...." "Hi." "These are for you." "Are you okay?" "No, I mean" " I had some flowers." "Hey, I almost forgot." "I've got a big surprise for you." "Why don't you go get yourself a doughnut, Dombroski?" "Ugh, the wife says I gotta cut back." "Then only get a half a dozen this time." "Hey, yeah." "Even when I know you're coming, I still can't get used to that." "Right." "Well, I got something you should take a look at." "We found him wandering the streets." "Kept mumbling something over and over." "MAN:" "Uh...." "Cypher." "That's it." "Cypher." "Thought it sounded like one of your costumed friends." "BATMAN:" "Graphite residue." "From an artist's pencil." "Unknown marks at the base of the skull." "Did you lD him?" "Name's William Benjamin." "He was a big-shot architect." "Designed the Wayne Industries building." "The cortex." "[TIRES SQUEALING]" "Computer, security desk at the Wayne Industries building." "COMPUTER:" "Calling." "No answer, Batman." "Lobby security camera feed, on-screen." "Establishing video link." "Katana's cell phone." "[COMPUTER BEEPING]" "No answer." "Keep calling." "[PHONE BUZZING]" "JASON:" "And when the lon Cortex goes online it will be able to redistribute power in such a way that any thoughts of an energy crisis will be a thing of the past." "I know about the cortex, Jason." "You've told me a hundred times." "Yes, but you've never seen it actually work." "You've got one that works?" "Yes." "Uh, well, sort of." "It's a prototype." "Much smaller than the one I'm building for Wayne Industries." "So its range is limited and I can't leave it on for long but the principle is the same." "I didn't know you were this far along." "[LAUGHING]" "I know." "No one does." "It's awesome." "You ready for your surprise?" "[CORTEX POWERS UP]" "[GASPS] I told you I could cook." "Uh, er, hold on, it's probably just a small power buildup." "Okay." "Whoo!" "So, you know, maybe I burn stuff occasionally when I cook." "But I promise, the real one definitely won't do that." "So, what do you think?" "I thought it was amazing." "It's kind of nice having someone cook for me." "At least something that's not made in a blender." "Huh?" "Nothing." "Cooking's just not really my strong suit." "Oh, ho, ho, no problem." "I'm totally comfortable being the woman of the house." "I mean, you know, the, the one that cooks." "Ahem." "You should stop talking now." "Heard that." "Yep." "[TENDRlLS whipping]" "[GRUNTS]" "What is that thing?" "No time to explain." "[FLOOR CREAKING]" "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "Let him go." "Wait." "[AS CYPHER] Try to stop me, and I'll destroy his mind." "[KATANA GRUNTS]" "Put your emotions away before they get you killed." "[CYPHER LAUGHING]" "What do you want?" "Control." "I wish to borrow his mind for a while." "Long enough for the League of Assassins to get the designs for the lon Cortex?" "You know your enemy well." "They never sent a psychotic machine before." "A machine?" "No." "I am a man, just like you." "Only upgraded." "You should try it." "It's a rush." "Stop it." "[LAUGHING maniacally]" "I'm gonna lock down the building." "Track Cypher, but keep a safe distance." "Don't engage." "[JASON GROANING]" "[GASPS]" "Why did he let you go?" "[AS CYPHER] He didn't." "[YELLS]" "Sixth floor." "[BATMAN GRUNTING]" "Afraid to hurt her?" "Afraid to hit back?" "I have no such reservations." "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "Cut those and you'll fry her brain." "I am the only one who can safely release them." "How do I unlock the building?" "BOTH AS CYPHER:" "They shall be returned when I'm done." "In a day, this will all be nothing more than a bad headache." "But attempt to follow, and their minds will be lost to my control forever." "Take out your handcuffs." "Rail or pipe?" "Surprise me." "Activate tracer." "COMPUTER:" "Tracer activated." "[GRUNTING]" "They couldn't have gotten far." "Computer, acquire tracer signal." "COMPUTER:" "Acquiring." "The signal is weak, Batman." "Is it being jammed?" "unclear." "Best guess." "The target may be underground." "BATMAN:" "And moving fast." "The subway." "MAN:" "Huh?" "[GASPS]" "Hey." "You're not allowed in" " Unh!" "Autopilot." "Engaged." "The probability of successfully accomplishing this maneuver is less than 8 percent, Batman." "Then you better wish me luck." "Good luck, Batman." "Thanks." "[GRUNTING]" "[PEOPLE WHIMPERING AND SOBBING]" "I told you I would kill them." "Fine, let's all go down together." "[POWERING UP]" "How does it feel to have someone else in control?" "[ALL GRUNTING]" "[GASPS]" "[GROANING]" "[AS CYPHER] One way or another, I'm taking Jason Burr and the plans for the lon Cortex buried in his mind." "[KATANA GRUNTING]" "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "You're stronger than the rest of them." "Stronger than he is." "It's not me you want to fight." "[MOANING]" "[AS himself] No." "No, I won't." "[GROANING]" "Get out!" "CYPHER:" "Let me go, or I'll cut the connection myself and fry him." "I swear it." "Cutting the connection didn't hurt me." "He's bluffing." "You think you have control, but I know the truth." "Everything your puppet feels, you do too." "You feel it all." "[YELLING]" "[SCREAMING]" "Do you think he'll have any lasting damage?" "According to Gordon, the architect made a complete recovery." "I took a sample from one of Cypher's upgrades before handing him over to Gotham P.D." "The results were inconclusive." "He's alive because of you." "You found Cypher's weakness and exploited it." "You made the right choice." "Head over heart." "Finding Cypher's weakness?" "Yes, that was the head." "But the kiss, that came from a different place." "[WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER P.A.]" "[English" " US" " SDH]"
