It's really important.

- Do you know where you are?

- Sure.

- What city?

- Central City, U.S.A.

What year is it?

This year.

- Do you know who you are?

- The Spirit.

- I beat up bad guys.

- And sometimes they beat you up.

And it really hurts when that happens,

but I always get better.

I don't know why. You don't know why.

But The Octopus knows something.

Why do you say that?

Because he told me

he knows something.

- You're delirious. Come on.

- No.

Oh, golly, will you look at that.

That was close, buddy.

I was looking all over for you.

There. That's better.

Yup. That's better.

That tears it.

You're delusional.

- Tuska, over here!

- Ellen!

Dr. Ellen Dolan! Over here, right now!

I can hear fluid in his chest.

It's faint, but I swear it's there.

I got it. He's got blood

in both his lungs.

Stabilize him, get him on Pegasus.

- Go back to the helicopter.

- I'll flip him over.

No, leave him flat. Get me new gloves.

Gauze.

Hurry it up. If you can't move any faster,

I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

- You find anything?

- No, sir.

I'm just feeling dizzy

from all the action, I guess.

- Yeah, we're all damn impressed.

- Thanks.

You're doing this town no good

with your hot-dogging.

- I don't follow you.

- We're flat on our asses...

...happy to clean up

after your dog-and-pony show.

Not this again. You know the score.

I thought I did.

Go ahead and enlighten me.

Bring me up to speed.

Sussman wanted things kept quiet.

Leave it at that.

He thinks I don't run a tight ship?

Suspected a leak in your department.

Didn't want The Octopus getting away.

So you're Internal Affairs now, huh?

I must have missed that memo.

Come on, it was a judgment call.

I gave it my best shot.

I got one officer an inch from dying,

another, his head yanked off...

...because you went off half-cocked

after The Octopus.

You're damn right

I'm going after The Octopus!

And you're going through my men

like toilet paper.

You been to Dropsie Avenue and C?

- Have you seen those girls?

- Yeah.

Some just learning how to ride a bike,

there they are, selling their souls...

...slaves to The Octopus

and his poison.

Maybe you and your force

could use a little obsession, Dolan.

Maybe you and your force

could work a little harder.

Ellen's right. You're off your rocker,

talking about cops like that.

Maybe if you and your force

could find The Octopus...

...I wouldn't have to play it solo.

- Solo, huh?

Solo?

That wasn't our deal, hotshot.

Well, then maybe we don't have a deal

anymore, commissioner.

Why, you...

You're living at the edge of a cliff, son.

And all you got is a tired old man

trying to hold you back.

Look, we're both tired.
