* **Joseph Blackfire:** Hmm... Interesting, might be having company...
* **Chad Graham:** Huh? Someone's coming? How can you tell?
* **Joseph Blackfire:** No matter. We got what we came for... [chuckle, gagged protests] I'll take the brat. You two stall the interlopers.
* **Bette Kane:** Uh... How do you want us to do that?
* **Joseph Blackfire:** Kill the parents. [motorcycle engine kickstarted, gagged protests, motorcycle engine revving, motorcycle speeding away]
* **Bette Kane:** Chad! What are-
* **Chad Graham:** Get your hands off me, Bette. You heard Deac.
* **Bette Kane:** Yeah, but- But-
* **Chad Graham:** Weak stomach? Pfft... I'll handle it. [footsteps, door kicked open, scream, muffled shouting, muffled whack]
* **Angel O'Day:** [car breaking, car door opens, hood slide, bestial roar, pistol unholstered] Get down or get dead, girly!
* **Bette Kane:** It's okay! [baseball bat hitting cement] I, uh, I surrender! Quick, just get in there and save them! Please!
* **Angel O'Day:** Sam?
* **Sam Simeon:** Hmmph... She's sincere enough, but be careful. Her mind has been addled by someone or something. [bestial snort, rapid quadrupedal movement, bestial roar]
* **Julie McGinnis:** [scream] What is that?!
* **Chad Graham:** Pfft... Like I'm going to fall for th- [smash, drywall crumbling, bestial grunt, glass shattering, body skipping across lawn, thud]

* **Julie McGinnis:** [toddler crying] Shh... It's okay, Matt. Come to mommy...
* **Warren McGinnis:** Out other son. Terry. They took our son, Terry.
* **Sam Simeon:** Hmm... [footsteps] Is this his picture? No need to answer. Your thoughts told me. Thank you... Be calm, lock your doors, call the police.
* **Warren McGinnis:** What... What are you going to do?
* **Angel O'Day:** [footsteps] We'll get your son back... The woman on the lawn told me what's up. My partner and I won't rest until we find your son.
* **Julie McGinnis:** Thank you... but... uh... Maybe we should let the police handle this? Or maybe we call Batman?
* **Sam Simeon:** [scoff] Hey, if you got him on speed dial, be my guest.
* **Angel O'Day:** [deep breath, sigh] Look, we can find your son. We're actually pretty accomplished detectives. We just need some information. Is there any reason you can think-
* **Julie McGinnis:** Why they took my Terry? No... Not... really... Unless... [gasp] Unless they found out who his biological father is... Oh, no, Warren! That's it, isn't it?! They want a ransom!
* **Angel O'Day:** Uh? Sam? [confused grunt, sigh] Sir, could you explain? What does your wife mean?
* **Warren McGinnis:** [sigh] My wife was once engaged to Bruce Wayne... Terry is his son, biologically, I mean.
* **Angel O'Day:** Bruce Wayne? Oh, yeah... Sounds like this is ransom related. Okay, well, Angel & Ape are on the case. Come on, Sammy... Let's go question our prisoners. [footsteps: 2 instances]
