Foot Clan soldiers everywhere.

Then out of nowhere, there was this guy

fighting back against them.

And he... He left behind this symbol.

And I know that I've seen it before.

I can't remember where.

But there is someone fighting back

against the Foot Clan.

There is a vigilante in this city.

And no one knows, but I do.

I know. And now I have my story.

There is no more froth and foam for me.

What?

Never mind.

All right, we need

a lead for tonight. Who's got it?

"Major redevelopments proposed

- "for lower Manhattan."

- No.

I got something.

"NYPD task force taking credit

"for small decline in Foot-related crime."

- I like that. Let's run with that.

- Yes, ma'am.

7:
00 AM broadcast,

we have three minutes to air.

Oh, O'Neil. I'll talk to you in a minute.

I know that I'm actually overstepping

my boundaries by being here,

but I think that you're gonna

want to hear what I have to say.

I actually think that you're all gonna want

to hear what I have to say.

Um, I witnessed

an attempted Foot Clan robbery

at the docks in Brooklyn last night.

Hold on, the scanner said

that gunshots were heard,

but there were no reports

of any Foot Clan activity.

That's because whatever they were

attempting to do was stopped.

What were you doing

in Brooklyn anyway?

Was there a trampoline convention?

I was in Brooklyn

because I was reporting,

not sitting behind my desk, McNaughton.

Okay, kids!

Who stopped it?

Well, there was this guy.

I didn't see him clearly,

but he was swinging

these giant shipping containers

and knocking these guys

into the... Into the river.

There is a vigilante that is fighting back

against the Foot Clan.

There's a huge story here!

O'Neil, I think you found Superman.

That's cool.

The vigilante is real. I saw him.

O'Neil, I'm gonna assume

that you would not

come up here and tell us

this fantastic story

without some tangible proof.

I took this photo of one

of the shipping containers.

I actually think that

it may be his calling card.

This is nothing, O'Neil.

This is nothing!

That's exactly the point. Somebody

stopped a Foot robbery

and left no evidence.

There is nothing.

Oh, I get it.

You wanted me to put "nothing"

- on the nightly news.

- Of course not.

You know, I'm gonna pretend

we never had this conversation.

I'm erasing it from my mind.

And the rest of us,

we're gonna go back to work.

Let's hit it!

Hello, everybody.

Welcome to the Channel 6

Morning News.

New developments in that ongoing

sanitation strike to tell you about.

But first, after reviewing the city's

soaring crime rates

with the police commissioner,

Councilman Dan Gregor

took to the steps of City Hall,
