[00:06] ---
    Good morning, Gotham.
[00:08] ---
    Ghetto Heights (noun)
[00:10] ---
    This is 42nd Street WMP Radio.
[00:11] ---
    A district within HL
    left over from the cityscape
[00:14] ---
    Jimmy Laswell will be
[00:14] ---
    that isolates it from the fog.
[00:15] ---
    It excludes those from the alterworld.
[00:15] ---
    coming to you live until noon.
[00:19] ---
    Two Jack Cheese Rocket Burgers,
    two Jack Chili Rocket Dogs,
[00:24] ---
    one french fry, one onion ring, a large Peps
    and a large Diet Peps, your order is ready.
[00:30] ---
    Here!
[00:52] ---
    How much does it cost
    to maintain all of this?
[00:59] ---
    Hey, buddy! I've got something
    that'll knock the socks off a huma!
[01:04] ---
    Got any Frisky? I'm buying Frisky!
[01:06] ---
    Got some adult content here!
    No? Nastier than the swimsuit stuff!
[01:12] ---
    Old newspapers, old magazines, all the big
    names! Tasty bundles, all smeared with ink!
[01:17] ---
    Pretty thick here, huh?
[01:20] ---
    The isolation and exclusion spur
    on their appetites even more.
[01:26] ---
    Did I say that?
[01:33] ---
    A-A-Are you all right?!
[01:39] ---
    Excuse me, but could you please
    give me a bite of that burger?
[01:42] ---
    You're food grubbing?!
[01:45] ---
    Hellsalem's Lot--a city where this
    world and the alterworld intersect.
[01:50] ---
    This is the record of
    the clandestine activities
[01:53] ---
    of the secret society of supermen,
    Libra, which works in the shadows
[01:56] ---
    to preserve the balance of worlds.
[02:00] ---
    Upon opening the door,
    I found a twisted noontime evening
[02:04] ---
    How did I get home yesterday?
    My body's the only thing I'm sure of
[02:09] ---
    Good morning; I'll carry on
    with being lost once more
[02:13] ---
    among the unknown sights
    that have become so familiar
[02:27] ---
    After I figured all was lost,
    I've been getting by somehow,
[02:31] ---
    somewhat embarrassed to
    be tough enough to still be alive
[02:36] ---
    I know what I have to do, even if I forget
[02:40] ---
    Otherwise, things become so agonizing
[02:45] ---
    I look up to see someone with big black eyes
[02:50] ---
    It's because I saw you
    that this light came to be
[02:54] ---
    Surrounded by a world
    painted in colors of my choosing,
[02:59] ---
    where do I find meaning in
    the scars I could not choose?
[03:03] ---
    In the heart of a world
    where only I am the hero,
[03:08] ---
    I'm onstage, appearing
    in every scene until the end
[03:12] ---
    What do I do? I can't
    even pretend to be empty
[03:17] ---
    Hello, hi there, here I am
[03:22] ---
    Blood Blockade Battlefront
[03:30] ---
    Are you hurt?
[03:30] ---
    Burger!
[03:33] ---
    Don't worry! I don't have
    a skeleton like a huma.
[03:38] ---
    I am more-or-less soft,
    so please give me your burger!
[03:41] ---
    Sorry, I'm confused. Could you slow down?
[03:42] ---
    Please!
[03:45] ---
    Hey, you! That was dangerous, you dumbass!
[03:48] ---
    Now, now...
[03:49] ---
    You're the one who darted out,
    you know! This isn't on us!
[03:53] ---
    That's true enough, but you
    still made awfully hard contact,
[03:57] ---
    so you should at least exchange addresses.
[03:59] ---
    Huh? I ain't obligated to!
    And he looks fine, doesn't he?
[04:03] ---
    Asking for your burger like that!
[04:05] ---
    There's no problem here, right?
[04:08] ---
    Yes! Burger!
[04:10] ---
    Hmm? Hey, go get that bag from the truck.
[04:13] ---
    Yeah.
[04:18] ---
    It's already half-eaten, isn't it?!
[04:20] ---
    Buzz off! He seems
    satisfied with it, doesn't he?
[04:24] ---
    Besides, the police over there
    are pretending not to notice.
[04:28] ---
    I hate to do this,
    but we're on a delivery right now.
[04:31] ---
    For all of the delay
    we're incurring talking to you,
[04:34] ---
    demanding that we make up for it,
    it's making us uncomfortable, you know?
[04:40] ---
    Hey, did you get everything from
    the Jack & Rockets Burger Plant?
[04:45] ---
    Don't "Hey" me. Did you lean back
    and get in Ms. Chain's way again?
[04:51] ---
    Hurry! Hurry and give it to me!
[04:53] ---
    Wah! It's been too long!
[04:57] ---
    All but the major chains have
    pulled out of here since the Great Collapse.
[05:02] ---
    I had to wait for thirty minutes.
[05:05] ---
    Huh?
[05:08] ---
    I guess they must have
    discontinued the Jack Funny Faces.
[05:11] ---
    You mean printing those
    ridiculous-looking wrappers?
[05:14] ---
    I used to collect them. These are all blank.
[05:18] ---
    Probably because it's takeout now.
[05:21] ---
    They'd hate having anyone on the outside
    seeing non-humans eating their food.
[05:26] ---
    There are those who'd complain
    if it started looking like bait.
[05:30] ---
    Huh? How do you mean?
[05:32] ---
    What do I mean? You're really
    starting to get tainted by this place.
[05:38] ---
    Seen from those in the world outside of here,
[05:40] ---
    the beings from the alterworld look like
    a herd of common monsters, right?
[05:45] ---
    Oh...
[05:45] ---
    You think they'll be
    so readily understanding?
[05:49] ---
    You might be right.
[05:51] ---
    Of course I am!
[05:53] ---
    Did you go to a humanitarian
    seminar, or something?
[05:58] ---
    I went to a hamburger joint.
[06:01] ---
    They do hold a seminar here.
[06:05] ---
    Want to go sometime?
[06:07] ---
    Love and Peace!
[06:13] ---
    Even now, twenty centuries
    after the death of Christ,
[06:16] ---
    the world is a long way from peace.
[06:20] ---
    Look how it is, even among just humans.
[06:23] ---
    I mean, there are good people, both in
    the alterworld and the human world.
[06:28] ---
    But we're only talking individuals, right?
[06:34] ---
    It's not as though we understand each other.
[06:37] ---
    Not a chance.
[06:42] ---
    Huh?
[06:43] ---
    Hey. Did everything turn out okay before?
[06:46] ---
    Oh, hello, person who
    didn't give me his burger.
[06:49] ---
    What, that's the way you
    remember me? That's irritating.
[06:53] ---
    You're always here, huh?
    Do you live nearby?
[06:56] ---
    No, I'm over on Dessau Leak Street.
[06:59] ---
    You're serious? That's far away!
[07:02] ---
    Are you waiting for something?
[07:04] ---
    They're here! I've been waiting for this!
[07:07] ---
    I've been waiting for the burger people!
[07:09] ---
    Here, four Jack Cheese Rocket Burgers.
[07:13] ---
    That comes to 64 zeros.
[07:15] ---
    Huh? How come?! That's quadruple!
[07:18] ---
    Supply and demand.
[07:20] ---
    Hey, they're taking you for a ride!
    That price is unheard-of--
[07:23] ---
    Hey! Why are you
    wolfing them down so fast?!
[07:27] ---
    Answer: Because they're super-good!
[07:30] ---
    And you're munching all four of them evenly!
[07:32] ---
    Answer: To prevent them
    from being snatched away!
[07:36] ---
    Thanks for your business!
[07:38] ---
    Can't help it if he's already eating them!
[07:42] ---
    Look, for the money you just paid,
    you could have eaten 16 burgers!
[07:46] ---
    Huh?! Really?!
[07:48] ---
    Hey, I know that much.
[07:53] ---
    But you know,
    there aren't many humas around
[07:57] ---
    who would go into 42nd Street
    and buy burgers for me using US dollars.
[08:03] ---
    It may be right in front of my eyes,
[08:05] ---
    but the world beyond that tent
    is even farther away than the moon.
[08:12] ---
    All right. From now on, I'll go
    and buy Jack & Rockets for you.
[08:17] ---
    Really?! I'm so glad!
    How much extra do I have to pay?
[08:23] ---
    Now cut that out.
[08:25] ---
    That's not why.
[08:27] ---
    I'm just doing it because
    I have a lot of problems with this.
[08:32] ---
    You really are a nice guy,
    person who didn't give me his burger.
[08:37] ---
    Stop calling me that. It's really aggravating.
[08:43] ---
    I'm Leonardo Watch. Nice to meet you.
[08:46] ---
    Amagranoff Luozontam Ouv Lee Nej.
[08:51] ---
    Ama...?
[08:52] ---
    You can call me Nej,
    Leonardo who didn't give me his burger.
[08:56] ---
    Huh?
[09:38] ---
    Whoa! Whoa! What is that?!
[09:43] ---
    I ate inside the restaurant.
[09:45] ---
    This is a Jack Funny Face.
[09:47] ---
    Awesome! Just like in the comics!
[09:50] ---
    Ron Jomita, Jr.!
[09:53] ---
    Who's that?
[09:53] ---
    The penciler!
[09:56] ---
    What's that?
[09:58] ---
    You're really taken with it.
[10:01] ---
    If you were in grade school,
    your mom would be angry with you.
[10:06] ---
    My mom, huh...?
[10:08] ---
    Leo, do you have a mom?
[10:11] ---
    Hmm? Yes, I do.
[10:13] ---
    You know what?
[10:15] ---
    have any memories...
[10:18] ---
    of my mom.
[10:21] ---
    Did she leave...
    when you were little, or something?
[10:26] ---
    More like, I know that
    there is a person called my mom...
[10:32] ---
    but both me and her don't
    remember each other, you see.
[10:37] ---
    Huh... Still, Nej, you just don't
    remember when you were little,
[10:42] ---
    and I'm sure your mom must have been...
[10:45] ---
    You'd think so, right?
[10:49] ---
    But then,
[10:51] ---
    this mom lady doesn't
    even remember giving birth to me.
[11:00] ---
    Damn it! Now what do we do?!
    What the hell do we do?!
[11:04] ---
    Yes, what do we do?
[11:06] ---
    Those gun barrels against our temples...
[11:11] ---
    Those weren't fun, huh?
[11:18] ---
    Not again...
[11:22] ---
    What?! The mask is a bit much, isn't it?
[11:25] ---
    No, incontinence inside the cab is a bit much.
[11:28] ---
    I can't take the smell.
[11:30] ---
    Take that off! Hey!
[11:36] ---
    Damn! That's twice this month!
[11:41] ---
    You again?!
[11:44] ---
    This isn't the time or place, is it?
[11:44] ---
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[11:47] ---
    First they run over him, then they beat him?
[11:49] ---
    Somebody stop him. He's gonna kill him.
[11:52] ---
    The little mushroom did
    apologize. Let's just go. Huh?
[11:56] ---
    Was the little mushroom
    always that color? Is that blood?
[12:00] ---
    Then again, do those things even feel pain?
[12:04] ---
    Part of the blame lies with those
    mushrooms for not taking a hint.
[12:07] ---
    This wouldn't have happened if he'd stayed
    away from 42nd Street, for God's sake.
[12:11] ---
    Sir, this isn't right, is it? Hey, sir!
[12:20] ---
    What is this? What is this?! What is this?!
[12:26] ---
    No, no, no, no!
[12:40] ---
    You don't remember?
[12:42] ---
    If he had been human,
    you'd easily be in the slammer now.
[12:47] ---
    Well, what's past is past.
    Let's go. We have to raise some money.
[12:53] ---
    What's the matter?
[12:54] ---
    Why are you in such a hurry?
[12:55] ---
    Is this about our losses to Mr. Gallardo?
[12:58] ---
    We can wait on that
    until he asks for it, you know.
[13:01] ---
    Huh?
[13:03] ---
    Mass fainting?
[13:05] ---
    Yes.
[13:06] ---
    It doesn't strike me as
    something to be up in arms over.
[13:09] ---
    The 42nd Street quarter?
    Those people never were very tolerant.
[13:14] ---
    As long as there wasn't too much harm done,
[13:16] ---
    we could always dismiss it as
    there being an actual sandman.
[13:20] ---
    The thing is,
[13:22] ---
    it was simultaneously
    accompanied by mass amnesia.
[13:26] ---
    Hmm...
[13:27] ---
    None of the affected persons remember
    a single thing, going back 13 hours.
[13:33] ---
    We don't have any idea what happened
    at the center of the disturbance.
[13:38] ---
    I take it back; this is pretty serious.
[13:41] ---
    If we assume that this
    was carried out intentionally,
[13:44] ---
    they could get away with any serious crime
    unobserved, as though it never happened.
[13:48] ---
    Hmm?
[13:50] ---
    What's the matter, young man?
[13:56] ---
    Nej... Nej... Did you cause this?
[14:10] ---
    I guess I should have taken
    a better look at his aura.
[14:17] ---
    I'm over on Dessau Leak Street.
[14:26] ---
    Huh? Leo?
[14:30] ---
    What's wrong? You're dripping with sweat.
[14:32] ---
    There you are! Where did you go?!
[14:35] ---
    I was asleep.
[14:39] ---
    I was worried that maybe
    you'd forgotten about me.
[14:43] ---
    No, that wouldn't happen.
[14:45] ---
    Leo, how big a fool do you think I am?
[14:49] ---
    Forget that, look at this!
[14:51] ---
    Jack!
[14:53] ---
    I don't know what kind of paper this is,
[14:55] ---
    but the penciler was
    Ron Jomita Jr., so this is official!
[15:00] ---
    Isn't that amazing? I had it in my pocket!
[15:18] ---
    Hey, man, are you sure we can
    pay back what we owe by doing this?
[15:23] ---
    Please don't make me keep explaining it.
[15:25] ---
    Once we have the spores that come out
    of this mushroom, we can do anything.
[15:30] ---
    I... I'm the only one who saw it.
[15:34] ---
    Everyone who was there
    dropped like flies, in a heartbeat.
[15:38] ---
    Thinking back on it, it could have
    been a wallet-snatching spree!
[15:43] ---
    I wouldn't suppose you'd get it.
[15:46] ---
    But if nothing else, I'll put a
    convinced look on your face--
[15:51] ---
    That no matter what we do,
    no one will ever find out!
[15:55] ---
    I think the spores these guys emit
    come from stress or something.
[16:00] ---
    A trait that protects them from
    a reality that becomes unbearable!
[16:04] ---
    Being able to reset yourself and
    those around you while you escape
[16:07] ---
    would come in super-handy, right?
[16:09] ---
    I hate to do this, but we're
    going to make use of it, too!
[16:15] ---
    He's starting to turn red!
[16:16] ---
    This is it! Once he turns
    fiery red, he goes kaboom!
[16:22] ---
    Stop!
[16:24] ---
    H-Hey, he woke up!
[16:26] ---
    It's all right. He can't do anything.
[16:29] ---
    Besides, once the spores come out,
[16:31] ---
    everything he's seeing now
    will be wiped clean away.
[16:36] ---
    Is that right? Is that true, Leo?
[16:40] ---
    I don't know, either.
    But... Remember your mom!
[16:45] ---
    You know for sure that your
    memories of her are gone, right?!
[16:53] ---
    That's terrific!
[16:55] ---
    I thought I might have to
    kill you to keep you quiet.
[17:00] ---
    The whole issue of recyclability
    could present a problem, right?
[17:05] ---
    Huh? Eh? Why is the color starting to fade?
[17:09] ---
    Hey! Whoa! Hold on!
[17:13] ---
    Damn it, we have to start over?!
[17:17] ---
    Damn it... Damn it...!
[17:20] ---
    Leo!
[17:23] ---
    I can hold it in!
[17:27] ---
    I don't want to forget you!
[17:31] ---
    So... So let's eat burgers
    again sometime, okay?
[17:39] ---
    Nej...
[17:45] ---
    Don't... Stop it...!
[17:48] ---
    That's enough already, you two!
[18:12] ---
    Damn kid. What the hell did you do?!
[18:16] ---
    You've got some kind of power, huh?
[18:17] ---
    Stop!
[18:19] ---
    Leo has nothing to do with this!
[18:19] ---
    Can't be too careful...
[18:21] ---
    Shut up!
[18:40] ---
    Oh, no!
[18:55] ---
    The next thing I knew, I was in the hospital.
[18:59] ---
    Apparently, I was in a mass
    amnesia incident, affecting thousands.
[19:04] ---
    Lots of people came,
    and told me lots of things,
[19:10] ---
    but the bummer of it is,
[19:12] ---
    I can't remember any of the events
    that happened these last two weeks.
[19:22] ---
    You're discharged.
[19:23] ---
    Yeah.
[19:28] ---
    Two Jack Cheese Rocket Burgers,
    two Jack Chili Rocket Dogs,
[19:33] ---
    one french fry, one onion ring, a large Peps
    and a large Diet Peps, your order is ready.
[19:39] ---
    Here!
[19:42] ---
    It seems like it's been so long
    since I went to Jack & Rockets.
[19:48] ---
    Hmm? Why did I order enough for two?
[20:14] ---
    Huh? That's funny...
[20:24] ---
    Are cheeseburgers...
    supposed to bring me to tears like this?
[20:43] ---
    A-A-Are you all right?!
[20:49] ---
    Excuse me, but could you please
    give me a bite of that burger?
[20:53] ---
    You're food grubbing?!
[20:56] ---
    Wait, have we ever done
    this bit before--
[20:59] ---
    you and me?
[21:01] ---
    We've never met.
[21:04] ---
    Pay no attention to that,
    please give me a burger!
[21:09] ---
    Well, whatever.
[21:11] ---
    My name is Leonardo Watch. And you?
[21:15] ---
    Amagranoff Luozontam Ouv Lee Nej.
[21:18] ---
    Call me Nej,
[21:21] ---
    Leonardo Burger.
[21:28] ---
    Oh, Leo!
[21:30] ---
    See? He's the one I'm always talking about--
[21:33] ---
    my friend.
[21:47] ---
    You're... the guy on the subway!
[21:49] ---
    Huh?
[21:51] ---
    I think we're meeting
    for the first time.
[21:55] ---
    Probably.
[21:56] ---
    Big brother!
[22:00] ---
    My... big brother!
[22:07] ---
    Why, hello. Y-Your sister
    always takes such good care of me...
[22:12] ---
    or, perhaps not...
[22:14] ---
    Huh?!
[22:15] ---
    Er, I mean... Sorry!
[22:19] ---
    You must be pretty good friends, huh?
[22:21] ---
    You should have introduced us sooner, White.
[22:29] ---
    It's a pleasure.
[22:34] ---
    Call me Black.
[22:36] ---
    Accustomed to the supernatural
    disaster-like madness,
[22:39] ---
    I mistake my daily life for peace
[22:42] ---
    As this rambling coaster
    jolts me back and forth,
[22:46] ---
    what is it that I mustn't lose sight of?
[22:50] ---
    Swallowed up by the concept
    of egalitarian fundamentalism,
[22:53] ---
    feels like even my soul is so much et cetera
[22:57] ---
    Have to clearly state what
    you love and what you hate
[23:01] ---
    or you're not all that different than a dummy
[23:04] ---
    Ah, crowds of people
    walking the streets at night
[23:08] ---
    some seem to be so happy,
    some seem to be so lonely
[23:12] ---
    The contrast jumps around the music staff
[23:17] ---
    creating the song and rhythm
[23:19] ---
    Marmalade and sugar song,
    peanuts and bitter step
[23:23] ---
    So sweet and then so acrid,
    it makes my head spin
[23:27] ---
    Let's head south-southwest
    and keep this party going
[23:30] ---
    to make it a night
    that will astonish the world
[23:34] ---
    I feel fantastic, a chain of reflections
[23:41] ---

[23:56] ---
    I feel fantastic,
    the chain of reflections goes on
[24:00] ---
    From one good time,
    to a problem, to another good time
[24:29] ---
    Next time on Blood Blockade Battlefront:
[24:32] ---
    "A No-Holds-Barred Eden."
