Batman s01e08 Episode Script

Previously on Batman: Perfect, my love.
Let's go home.
So our new cat burglar's a woman.
You see, we're committed to building a major resort.
It's in the middle of nowhere.
It's worthless except to wildcats.
Tomorrow at 2300 hours a train under military escort will pass through Gotham.
We'll hit the train outside the city at this point.
- What is that? - A cat at the end of its nine lives.
I'll have to try and trim those claws.
Hey! Never trifle with the affections of a woman.
Until next time.
And there will be a next time.
You're late.
Can't you ever walk up normal-like? I hear you have some information.
Under one condition: Lay off the South Side.
Keep this up, and I'll be on you from all sides.
North, south, east and west.
Okay.
I get the picture.
There's rumors about some train heist.
- When? - Tonight.
- Red Claw? - Don't know, it's real sketchy.
One thing I can tell you, no one in the organization's making the hit.
These are outsiders.
There's nothing here in the schedules.
- A last-minute change? - I'd have been told.
What if it was a military train something the government wouldn't want us to know about? Wouldn't be the first time.
Blasted feds and their secrets.
When I saw those Army commercials on Tv they didn't say anything about guarding a plague.
Who'd want to steal a can of germs, anyway? - Hey! - What are you doing up there? That's got it.
Red Claw, watch out! Red Claw, a woman? Do you have a problem with that? Not at all.
I'm an equal-opportunity crime fighter.
Stay back, Batman.
I hold the ultimate equalizer.
This plague kills indiscriminately.
You'll die too.
Along with everyone else within a 10-mile radius.
Can you risk it, Batman? Go on.
Call my bluff.
You've finally met your match, Batman.
Not surprising, it's a woman.
Yes, general, but if you'd warned us about the shipment, we might've had a chance.
So, what do I do now? Evacuate 10 million people? Maybe we can set up camp around the Pentagon.
Listen, general, I'll call you back.
Gordon here.
Batman! Thank goodness.
Have you heard from Red Claw? Loud and clear.
We've got 24 hours to come up with $ 1 billion in gold bullion or she'll release the plague on Gotham.
To think, all this time the feds have been looking for a man.
Lately I'm learning never to underestimate the opposite sex.
I'll be in touch.
Bruce and Selina go to lunch, take two.
I've been looking forward to seeing you again.
Well, this time I promise a much more exciting date than our last one.
Hey, this time you seem preoccupied.
Sorry.
An unexpected crisis.
You, on the other hand, look like the cat who swallowed the canary.
Things are going well on the mountain-lion front.
- I may get that land from Multigon yet.
- Really? What did you find out? Let's just say they plan on playing more than shuffleboard up at their resort.
What in? Watch out! An old boyfriend? Here go your nine lives, kitty-cat.
Busy fellow.
- What? - Nothing.
Hang on.
Brace yourself! Where'd you learn to drive like that? I've been going to the Paris Grand Prix for years.
One day I think I'll enter it.
Well, you did promise me an exciting time.
It's not every day I get to fill out police reports.
Thanks for seeing me up.
Wanted to be sure they didn't try anything else.
What makes you think they weren't after you? A nice guy like me? Good night, Bruce.
Selina, if you're in some kind of trouble, I wish you'd tell me.
Perhaps I can help.
I really care about you.
I haven't felt this way in a long, long time.
Thanks, Bruce, but I've never been able to play the damsel in distress.
I'll be okay.
Don't worry.
But why would someone at Multigon try to kill you? Ten-to-one it has to do with those bunkers under their resort site.
I think it's time I do some digging.
Not this time, Isis.
I'm afraid where I'm going, they don't allow pets.
It's not that I question your instincts, sir but why would Red Claw wish to harm Ms.
Kyle? Why indeed.
But somehow, Selina has crossed Red Claw's path.
And I mean to find out where.
What an unusual color.
Ms.
Kyle's, I presume? No.
It's a cat hair.
Curious.
Never seen one quite that color.
Batman has.
Get away! I won't hurt you.
Red Claw is after you and Catwoman.
Catwoman? What are you talking about? Maven, you must tell me where she's gone.
These people are killers.
The Multigon site.
You're not safe here anymore.
Is there somewhere you can hide? Well, I guess I could go Go quickly.
As long as you know who she is, you should know how she feels.
She's in love with you.
This ought to keep you out of my hair.
These will certainly enhance the resort's brochure.
Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
I didn't think you cared.
Come on! - You've got to get out of here.
- Me? What about you? There's something I have to pick up.
Welcome to my little resort.
Plan on a short stay.
It's never dull, is it, Batman? You may be surprised to know these accommodations are courtesy of your government.
They built this top-secret facility to shelter high officials in case of a nuclear incident.
Since you wanted the plague so badly, Batman we've decided to give it to you.
What will you use to blackmail Gotham if you waste it on us? Why risk carrying such deadly contents when a placebo will do? By the time they realize the vial's a fake we'll be miles away with their billion dollars.
The acid should eat through in a matter of minutes.
Sound evacuation and begin sealing the compound.
We wouldn't want the plague to harm the precious wildlife just the vermin in here.
Would I like to get my claws into them! If I could just get some slack What this situation needs is a woman's touch.
What a team.
Come on! - You've got to get out of here.
- Not without you.
I'll be right behind you, but first I've got to destroy the plague.
Now, go! Please.
Batman.
This is Police Commissioner Gordon.
You're completely surrounded.
Give yourselves up.
Right where Batman said they'd be.
Looks like this resort's folding.
So are you.
For years I fought to build my network.
I brought countries to their knees.
You will pay, pussycat.
You will learn why everyone fears Red Claw.
Thank you, friend.
Something for you to remember me by.
Batman, where's the virus? It went up in smoke, with Red Claw's future.
I should have known you'd have it all wrapped up before we got here.
Almost.
Maven? Maven? She's gone.
The terrorists were after both of you.
Have you told the police you found your cat burglar? - Not yet.
- Why not? I didn't want you taken away like a common criminal.
So you do care.
More than you'll ever know.
