Batman and Robin (1949) s01e06 Episode Script
Target
(Narrator) Batman and Robin
capture one of the Wizard's men
near a waterfront hideout.
Vicki has come there
searching for her brother,
but has been caught.
Batman hears
her call for help and
[Scuffling]
[Man grunting]
That'll locate him.
Look.
[Police siren wailing]
Forget 'em.
They've escaped.
We caught one of them.
Robin's got him in the car.
Let me get my camera and
I'll get a picture of him.
Forget your camera.
You've had enough
excitement for one night.
[Tires screeching]
We'll turn our prisoner
over to the police.
I want an enlarged
photograph of him.
Something tells me
you have a plan.
You're right. I have.
How do I look?
Like his twin brother.
Now, if you can only find
where the mob hangs out.
Our prisoner
wasn't very talkative,
but I found something on him
that may lead us
straight to the Wizard.
There's my admission card.
Come in, Mac.
The boys were just
wondering about you.
Yeah.
And I'm still wondering.
Oh, you mean this?
Yeah.
Batman got me,
but he couldn't hold me.
That don't make sense.
I hear the Batman
never loses a prisoner
once he's grabbed him.
He lost this one by turning
me over to that kid, Robin.
That's who I escaped from.
(Leo)
How did you escape the police?
We beat it
when we heard their siren.
That was a trick device
he had on his car
to scare you guys off.
Well, I'll remember that
next time.
All right, fellas, let's
get down to business.
Now, I've heard
from the Wizard.
He wants 2 men at headquarters
to help him convert the
remote control machine
to the new power.
The new power?
Oh, now, don't act dumb, Mac.
You know what I mean.
The stolen X-90 formula.
Oh, yeah Yeah,
that's what I figured.
You can count me in for the job.
What's got into you?
I thought you didn't like
visiting headquarters.
This time it's different.
That Batman and Robin
are after me.
I can lay low there.
You can deal me out.
I don't want any part
of that place.
Now, ain't that too bad?
You're just the one
I decided on.
Now, you will go to hideout B,
and stay there
until it gets dark.
This place is not safe.
[Car engine starting]
[Tires screeching]
You'd better slow down, Nolan.
We're coming to that alarm
gadget in the road.
Right.
You got another cigarette, Mac?
Sorry. This kind
only comes one to a pack.
(Karl) Get set for the bump.
[Brakes squealing]
That was it.
That lets the boys know
that somebody is coming.
[Brakes squealing]
[Engine stops]
[Car door closes]
Well, I see the alarm
worked OK.
Yeah, I knew somebody
was on the road.
What happened to you?
Plenty.
Anything to report?
Orders from the Wizard.
We're to catch Barry Brown's
next broadcast, without fail.
Well, we can do that.
I planned to stay here
until after dark.
What does that mean?
More orders?
Maybe.
In the meantime,
don't get too nosy, Mac.
It's time for
Brown's broadcast.
Turn on the radio.
[Radio clicks]
(Barry) This is Barry Brown
with a few hot tips
and cold facts.
While there are
no new developments
in the remote control
robbery case,
I have exclusive information
on an angle
that might soon set off
a powder keg.
A key man of the robbery
gang has been captured
and is being held incommunicado
by the police for questioning.
I will relay to you any
information he discloses.
In the meantime, I have
learned the prisoner's name.
It is Mac Lacey.
You heard that.
What's it all about?
I don't know.
It must have been a mistake.
It was.
And you made it.
You look like Mac,
but you can't be.
Who are you?
I'll give you just
10 seconds to answer.
Who are you?
Nolan, look!
The trademark of the Batman.
That means he's outside.
Guard this guy.
Sit down.
The Batman's around.
Search for him.
[Robin grunting]
He made a break for it.
Just who are you?
I'm a friend of Mac's.
When I heard he was arrested,
I thought I could take his
place in your outfit.
Why didn't you say so before?
I didn't think you'd believe me.
I don't.
But I'm going to give you
a chance to prove yourself.
How?
Get rid of this pest for me.
That's a deal.
Hold him. Line him up.
You've got 2 shots.
Make him count.
And no tricks.
[Robin grunting]
Start a search.
We've got to find them.
[Tires screeching]
That was good shooting, Bruce.
You know, this bolt buckle
isn't very big.
I was sure it was thick
enough to stop the bullet.
Well, it still knocked
the wind out of me.
Better keep your eyes open.
They might be tailing us
in their car.
[Chuckles] That I want to see.
They'll be working
on their car for a week
after what I did to it.
This place is not safe.
We got to get out of here.
How far do you think
we'd get without a car?
I'd better call headquarters.
Station B
calling headquarters.
(Nolan) Station B
calling headquarters.
This is headquarters.
Go ahead.
We had a couple of visitors
but they escaped.
One of them was
Batman's assistant, Robin.
The other one tried to bluff
us into thinking he was Mac,
but Brown's broadcast
spoiled his disguise.
Did you learn
who he really was?
(Nolan)
No, but I think he's
You don't think.
That's Why you failed.
It was undoubtedly
Batman himself.
(Wizard) You've made your
final mistake, Nolan.
What do you mean?
I mean I'm going to replace you
before your bungling
betrays me to Batman.
Let me talk
to one or the others.
This is Holt.
Keep Nolan under guard until
I can get rid of him.
I'm liquidating Evans also.
Their fate will be insurance
against future mistakes.
Yes, sir. What else?
When did Batman
and Robin escape?
(Holt) About 20 minutes ago.
Oh. Then there's still time
to offset Nolan's blundering.
What do you want us to do?
Nothing. I'm taking over.
I've managed to get word
to Mac in jail.
He's going to trap
Batman for me.
I'd have found the Wizard's
headquarters by now
if it hadn't been
for Brown's broadcast.
He must be in with the Wizard.
Maybe he is the Wizard.
Either that,
or a very dangerous snooper.
If we can find out
where he gets his tips,
we'll have a valuable clue.
The bat signal.
Commissioner Gordon needs help.
Watch out for a telephone.
[Tires screeching]
Yes? (Man)
Telephone call, commissioner.
Thank you.
Commissioner Gordon speaking.
This is Batman.
Do you want me?
I'll say I do.
Mac Lacey talked.
He's just named
the next location
where his remote control
gang will strike.
(Gordon) The job is
to be pulled tonight.
Where?
Some place on Marine Street,
along the waterfront.
That's not very definite,
but it'll have to do.
I'll be there in 15 minutes.
What's wrong this time?
We'll know the answer to that
when we got to Marine Street.
[Tires screeching]
If we only knew
what to hunt for.
Marine Street only runs
a couple of blocks.
Maybe we can
stumble onto a clue.
Like that?
Could be.
They've spotted us.
OK. Inside, quick.
Through that door.
They're not in here.
[Door thudding]
[Banging on door]
[Banging continues]
[Both coughing]
[Coughing]
[Coughing]
(Narrator)
What sinister use
does the Wizard plan to make
of the remote control machine?
Who is this that the
Wizard's men are attacking?
