S02E01 - I'll be watching

Told you, tiny Tim,
you're just making it

worse for yourself.

Yeah, you idiot.

Just makin' it worse.

Leave me alone!

I didn't do nothin' to ya.

Leave me alone!

You kids are supposed to be
asleep right now,

not terrorizing each other.

It was them.
I was just tryin'...

All right, come on.

No one likes a squealer.

But...

Look, you have to
live here a while, kid.

Try to get along.

And you two, you sicken me.

I'll be talkin' to
the senior administrator

about this.

But I thought you said
no narcing?

Hey, I don't care
if you like me,

I just work here.

Now, go to bed.

There was a time
in the bad old days,

my own time livin' in this place

when I was part of a g*ng
of bullies like those two.

Maybe that's why they
turn my stomach so much.

Maybe it's just that
I've really changed

these past two years.

Do you think I've changed?

Have I done okay?

Of course he never answers.

He's never there when
I turn on the light either.

But just the same I can
feel him watchin', judgin'.

Batman!

Making sure I live up
to my end of the deal.

You live in Gotham
your whole life,

and you never know
if he's real or not,

but trust me, he is.

And you can think
you're a tough guy, too,

until you meet him.

It changes everything.

Give me the g*n, now.

I didn't... I wasn't gonna...
I mean... I never...

You didn't fire this weapon.

No, god no.

I'm not like that.

I never fired a g*n in my life.

I mean, I done some bad stuff,

stealin', fightin',
stuff like that,

but I was just comin'
along tonight for show.

I didn't think...

No, you didn't.

Give me another chance.

Please.

What?

I'm not a bad guy.

I swear, I can turn my
life around.

Just, just give me a chance.

Don't put me back behind bars.

Give me your driver's license.

And he let me go

with a warning.

Don't make me regret this,
David Thompson.

That's how my world changed.

'Cause when you know
that he's watchin' you

you feel him everywhere,

in any dark corner.

At first that made me afraid.

I was jumpin' at every shadow

waitin' for him to decide

I'd let him down, but
after a while

it started to be a comfort,

a reason not to mess up.

And like I said,
if you meet Batman

nothin' is ever the same again.

He becomes part of you,

changes the way
you look at the world.

He changes everything.

I know it's just my fantasy.

I know he's not there I'm,

I'm a gnat to him.

He probably forgot me
the minute I ran out

of that warehouse two years ago.

So, maybe I'm crazy
to still feel him

watching me after all this time,

but all I know is
he's kept me honest,

and I wouldn't have it
any other way.
