Batman and Robin (1949) s01e05 Episode Script
Robin rescues batman
(Narrator)
By a clever ruse,
the Wizard's men
learn where Morton,
the inventor, has hidden
his secret formula.
They go after it.
Batman and Robin trail them
to Morton's office.
Look!
Watch 'em!
This is Morton's formula.
Let's get out of here.
[Grunts]
(Nolan) Come on.
Batman's pal was just here.
Never mind him.
We got what we came for.
Gettin' out of here
is more important. Come on.
We'll separate.
Jason, you and Ives take the
other car with Dan. Right.
Batman!
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm all right.
One of them bounced an
iron bar off my head.
You didn't tangle with
that switchboard, did you?
No. The iron bar must have
caused a short circuit.
Did those men get Morton's formula?
I don't know.
I heard one of 'em say they
got what they came after.
Then they got it.
They must have escaped
through the other building.
Maybe we can head them off.
You can't go in there!
Well, I'm Vicki Vale,
of Picture Magazine.
Vicki Vale, eh?
Well, I'm officer Murphy
of the patrol bureau.
You still can't go in there.
[Car engine starts]
[Police siren wailing]
The men you're after are getting
away through that building.
They're in a car,
heading down 4th St.!
[Police siren wailing]
Car 4 to headquarters,
emergency!
Car 4 to headquarters!
Go ahead, car 4.
We have Morton's formula.
But there's a police car
trailing us.
Turn into the alley South
of Oak St., as planned.
I'll start the robot
car by remote control.
Right.
Into the alley
as planned, Jimmy.
OK.
[Siren continues wailing]
[Machine humming]
[Tires screeching]
[Brakes screeching]
What do you make of that?
It was operated
by remote control.
That proves the Wizard engineered
the whole operation.
What about the picture that
photographer girl snapped?
Might help the cops
identify us.
We'll have to get it.
That's up to Jimmy.
She's his sister.
Leave me out of this.
You don't want anything to
happen to her, do you, Jimmy?
Nothing better. She doesn't
know I'm hooked up with you.
That's fine.
You can tell her any story
she'll believe.
But get that negative
and any prints she made.
[Phone rings]
Hello.
(Jimmy) Hello, Vicki.
Jimmy.
Look, I just developed that
negative and made a print of it.
You were driving that car!
Listen sis, I'm in a jam.
Don't show that photograph
to anybody till I see you.
Jimmy, where are you?
Why don't you come here?
Well, I'll explain
everything when I see you.
Meet me right away.
In the picnic grounds
at Graham's park.
Bring the negative and any
prints you made of it.
But, Jimmy, I
You want me to get out
of this jam, don't you?
Oh, of course, I do.
All right then, do what I say.
Don't talk to the police, and
don't bring anybody with you.
Meet me in the park.
[Phone disconnects]
But Jimmy Jimmy!
It's all set.
She'll meet me.
I'll take over from here.
Now, you promised
she wouldn't be hurt.
She won't be,
if she brings that negative
and any prints she made from it.
Well, what do you think
I should do about it, Bruce?
The only thing to do is to meet
your brother and hear his story.
Well, I hardly needed to
come here for that advice.
What else could I say? You already
had your mind made up in advance.
Well, thanks anyway, Bruce.
Good night, Vicki.
Good night.
Does that setup
sound right to you?
No, it doesn't.
And Batman and Robin
had better look into it.
Jimmy?
Who are you?
your brother couldn't get here.
He sent me to get the negative.
I'll give it only to Jimmy.
Yeah?
[Brakes screeching]
[Batman punching]
[Groans]
Come on.
[Panting] Thanks for your help.
Where's the negative?
It burned.
Well, maybe it's just as well.
Help miss Vale to her car.
Thank you.
(Bruce)
There's the charred negative.
What's that?
It's known as aerolic red.
It'll restore the molecular
structure of the charred film.
Hand me the camera.
You really think this'll work?
We can hope, Dick.
I'm using infrared plates.
There it is, Dick.
But who's the man
with Jimmy Vale?
I don't know him.
I'll have to check
through my rogues' gallery.
You may go now, Carter.
Are you sure you won't
need me, prof. Hammil?
Of course, I'm sure!
Very good, sir.
Door closes]
[Door closes]
I was hoping it might be one
of the men we've been watching.
Like Brown.
Like Dunne, the private eye.
Or even the eccentric
scientist, Hammil.
But he's confined
to a wheelchair.
Yes, that's true.
[Chair humming]
[Electronic buzzing]
Did you get the negative?
Yes, I burned it.
And the print, too.
You're sure of that?
Yes, I'm sure.
Get rid of Jimmy Vale.
He is a good pilot.
We need him.
I'll make you
responsible for him.
Now, watch him closely.
[Phone rings]
Hello?
(Jimmy)
This is Jimmy. Listen, sis
Well, that was a fine trick
you played on me.
I I'm sorry, Vicki.
I'll explain someday.
Are you all right?
Yes, thanks to Batman.
Look Jimmy, where are you?
Why don't you come here?
Never mind where I am.
I'm leaving town right away.
Goodbye, Vicki.
But Jimmy
Jimmy.
Hello, Florence?
Look, trace this call I just
had, will you? It's urgent.
And call me back,
right away. Yeah.
[Phone ringing]
Hello?
The Harbor Club
on Seaside Avenue.
OK, thanks.
Here's the man, Mac Lacey.
Police record.
Hangs out on the waterfront.
Frequents the Harbor Club.
Mac Lacey is about to be
interviewed by the Batman.
I came here to find my brother.
He skipped out on us.
Maybe, if we hold her,
he'll come back.
That's a good idea.
You won't get away with this.
I think we will.
(Batman)
That's our man.
Batman!
That hurt.
Take her to the boat.
Where's Gabe?
He'll meet us at the dock.
[Screaming]
Watch him!
[Vicki screaming]
[Bullet whistles]
[Batman punching]
[Men grunting]
That'll locate him.
