Synopsis: - Whisper tells the now perhaps immortal Tzu the truth about his wife's death; Abbot is forced to tell Batman the truth about his and Whisper's plan; and Able Crown is disturbed by Whisper's inhumanity and tips the police off about the drug lab's location. The drugs being manufactured retard the ageing process, but do not completely eliminate it, and they have unpredictable side-effects, hence Whisper-Snake, Abbot-Wolf and Tzu-Raven. They will be distributed largely by Galante, head of the Sicilian Mafia, but the police and Batman will be there to stop the deal going ahead.
- Galante is about to try the serum for himself when Batman crashes in, causing Whisper and Tzu to escape by air. Confronted by Batman, Tzu drops Whisper and surrenders, for the bat is holy to him. However, Whisper survives and is still on the loose, even if the drugs plan has been foiled.
