Miss, can l help you?

l think it belongs to that woman who came in early.

Maybe there's a reward for finding it.

You wouldn't think a lock that good would just pop.

No l.D. on any of this stuff.

Weird, huh.

What should we do with it?

Eh, we'll worry about it tomorrow. It's late.

-Pizza? -Sounds good.

Whoa there, Mr. Wayne. Anything wrong?

No, just trying to get out before they set the night alarms.

No problem, sir. l'll walk you to your car.

Thanks.

The alarm system makes me nervous.

(BEEPING)

(ALARM BLARING)

Did we set it off by accident?

No, sir. It's from upstairs.

What the heck is that thing?

Better not take any chances.

Right this way, sir.

Now, for your own safety you stay put, Mr. Wayne.

Stay put?

l don't think so.

(BoTH CoUGHING)

(STRAINING)

(SCRAPING)

Home.

(BEEPING)

lntruder recti Fier. Now.

(GASPS)

(GRoANS)

l do wish you wouldn't be so rough with your toys, Master Bruce.

(TELEPHoNE RINGING)

Wayne Manor. Moment, please.

Mr. Lucius Fox, Master Bruce.

Shall l out him on the speaker phone?

Thank you, Alfred.

Lucius, what's up?

Bad news, my friend.

They got away with all the prototype protein silicon wafer chips from R&D.

The design specs?

Still safe �n the computer, thank heaven.

The thieves won't be able to duplicate the chips without them.

Maybe we should discuss t�ghtening secur�ty

in case they come back.

You're right. 10 minutes, Lucius. Thanks.

Protein silicon what, Master Bruce?

l's called Wetware. The cutting edge of computer research.

Sounds more like a line oF swimsuits.

l'm talking about Al. Artificial intelligence.

The missing link between computers and human thought.

You mean machines that think?

Yes, and with a will of their own.

They could process raw data a million times faster than we.

lt'll still be able to make the leaps of intuition

that inspired our greatest minds.

Sounds as if the human race will become quite expendable.

Except For butlers, of course.

Of course.

GORDON: When l told the mayor about the nature of the theft

he insisted l oversee the investigation.

Question is, where could the thieves hope to sell this stuff?

Beats me.

Only other group researching Al on this coast

is Karl Rossum's team at Cybertron.

l thought Rossum was retired.

BRUCE: Karl went into semi-seclusion after the loss of his daughter.

He taught me everything l know about electronics.

But he's been more active in business lately.

l'll talk to him.

Dad, you in here?

Oops, bad timing.

Barbara, come in. You've grown.

lt's been, what, four years?

Home From college for a visit. Made the dean's list.

BRUCE: And who's your little friend?

(CHUCKLES) This is Wubby.

My best friend since 3rd grade.

Dad can't seem to pick me up at the airport without bringing him along.

(CHUCKLES NERVoUSLY)

Yes, well, he knows the way better than l.

So you go talk to Rossum and l'll start things moving on my end.

Barbara forgot her bear.

(PIANo MUSIC PLAYING)

(TRUMPET PLAYING)

Bruce Wayne. l'm so glad you called. It's been years.

l heard about the theft of those chips, my boy.

You need better security.

Just curious if anyone's tried to sell you any Wetware.

Afraid not. If anyone does, of course, you'll be the First to know.

-Cappuccino? -Yes, thanks.

l was wondering about your own Al research.

Uh... Thank you.

Nothing like a hot Cappuccino and a foot massage.

Now, let me show you my pride and ioy.

This is my greatest achievement.

My prototype Al.

This is HARDAC.

Who?

Holographic analytical reciprocating digital computer.

HARDAC.

HARDAC. Okay.

And you?

How rude of me. Bruce, this is Randa Duane, my assistant.

Your hand is like ice.

Sorry, l've been in the cold room.

So tell me. What does HARDAC do?

Now, Bruce, l can't tell you all oF my secrets, can l?

Let's iust say that certain...

That certain projects are under his control.

Well, since you won't tell me what you're working on, Karl,

___"__ fl __ G_____"_Y2 ___ B'_ _ft __ gfl "J_;,:___ fl@_,y-_Q,_:y_B___

Well, you can try.

Dinner? Tomorrow night at my house?

Love to. After 8:OO though.

l'm working late.

Good. Well, l better get going.

l'll walk you out.

Randa, you did not bring me the des�gn specifics l needed.

There wasn't time to get them from the Wayne Enterprises' databanks.

l'll try again tomorrow night.

Some people in h�gh place_ are becoming too curious

about this operation.

They must be dealt with.

The next dupl�cant is ready.

See to h�s placement. ronight.

Of course.

(KNoCKING m DooR)

l'll get it, princess. You keep hitting those books.

Yes. What is it?

What the devil?

(GRoANS)

(ELECTRICITY BUZZING)

(BoDY THUDS)

Dad, you okay?

l'm fine.

Who was at the door?

Were you outside? Your hand is like ice.

l'm fine.

-Dad, are you sure you're- -l said l'm fine.

As oF last night, Karl Rossum

hadn't been approached to receive any stolen goods.

But he knew what was stolen.

So you'll ty to squeeze some info from his assistant tonight.

Well, ''squeeze'' may not be the best word.

l hope l'm not interrupting.

BRUCE: Not at all.

We're just installing some new computer safeguards.

Well, l'll stay out ofyour way.

Shall we go?

After you.

(CHIMING)

Don't you like the roast, Dad?

lt's fine.

That's practically all you've said since last night.

Are you mad at me?

No, you're-

l know. l'm fine.

(CHIMING)

But the best one was the dishwasher that turned into a Jacuzzi.

(BoTH LAUGHING)

Yeah, Karl's a genius, all right.

He'd have to be to know it was Wetware chips

that were stolen from my company.

Care to tell me about that, Randa?

(TELEPHoNE RINGING)

Wayne here.

l'm on my way.

l have to go out. Call Alfred iF you need anything.

l'll be back soon.

They get the Wetware specs?

l don't know yet.

They dust the keys for prints?

Yeah. Nothing.

They got the file, all right.

How are these guys getting in here?

Don't worry. l uploaded a decoy file here last night.

The real design specs file is at my house.

-Randa. -Yes?

The information l need was not in that f�le.

Search the house.

My databanks of Rossum's memories indicate that Bruce Wayne

always kept important backups at home.

l'll do it right now.

l heard your voice, Ms. Duane, and thought Master Bruce had returned.

l thought you might enjoy a spot of tea.

(GRoANS)

l think it's time Ms. Duane answered some questions.

(RINGING)

Something wrong?

No answer at the house.

l better get back there.

See you later, Lucius.

HARDAC, l've definitely found something.

Bruce Wayne is Batman.

lntriguing. This data may be useful later.

There must be a central computer.

lt w�ll have the data l need.

l see it. Prepare for interface in one minute.

I w�lI take �t from here, Randa. You come home.

Alfred? Randa?

Alfred!

Alfred?

Master Bruce.

Alfred, what happened? Where's Ms. Duane?

Forgive me, Master Bruce.

l can't imagine how would l... l must've dozed off.

l assume Ms. Duane has left.

l assume nothing at this point.

Computer, scan Batcave For-

What?
