[♪♪♪]
I knew you'd come back,
when you were ready.
[CAT MEOWING]
The goddess Bast.
[CHUCKLES]
The Maus are sacred to Bast.
They're her messengers.
Wow, you-you wrote this?
I was a professor for 20 years.
Until I was denied tenure.
Male academia.
[CHUCKLES]
OPHELIA: Bast is a rarity.
The goddess of the moon,
and of the sun.
She represents the duality in all women.
Docile, yet aggressive.
Nurturing, yet ferocious.
But...what does all of this have to do with me?
I mean...
What happened the other night?
I don't remember.
Do you want me to tell you?
Yes.
You died.
[CHUCKLES]
What?
I didn't die. I mean, look at me. I'm right here.
You died.
But you were reborn.
Oh, you're crazy.
You are a crazy cat lady.
Midnight knew your fate.
[GASPS]
[MEOWS]
That's why she tested you.
To see if you were worthy of a gift she could give you.
A gift that could change your life.
And give you a new one.
[GASPS]
You're not alone, child.
He's saved others before you.
Look.
Catwomen are not contained by the rules of society.
You follow your own desires.
This is both a blessing and a curse.
You will often be alone and misunderstood.
But you will experience a freedom
other women will never know.
You are a catwoman.
Every sight, every smell,
every sound incredibly heightened.
Fierce independence, total confidence.
Inhuman reflexes.
So I'm not Patience anymore?
You are Patience.
And you are Catwoman.
Accept it, child.
You've spent a lifetime caged.
By accepting who you are,
all of who you are...
you can be free.
And freedom is power.
[SIREN WAILING]
[MEOWS]
You saved my life, Midnight.
But somebody killed me...
[MEOWS]
...and I've got to find out who
and why.
