Batman and Robin (1949) s01e10 Episode Script
Batman's last chance
[Inaudible]
(Narrator) The Wizard's
men intercept a shipment
of synthetic diamonds needed to
operate their
remote control machine.
Batman and Robin
pursue the thieves.
Their car is disabled.
They commandeer another and
Car 4 calling headquarters.
Headquarters. Come in, car 4.
There's another car
trailing us.
Can you look it over
through your televiewer?
Yes. Stand by.
[Electronic buzzing]
Batman and Robin
are in that car.
Batman's too clever
for his own good.
This time I'll do more
than stop him.
This ought to be good.
[Machine whirring]
The Wizard has taken control.
Bail out.
[Crackling]
Keep down, the Wizard
may be able to see us.
Headquarters to car 4,
headquarters to car 4.
This is car 4.
Come in, headquarters.
Batman has been
taken care of for good.
I've seen to it personally.
Good work.
Things ought to be different
now, with Batman out of our hair.
They will be.
Yeah, it's a long walk back
to where we left the car.
I hope it runs.
The wiring's
probably burned out.
And we'll have to square things
with that man whose car we took.
Any more worries?
I've persuaded commissioner
Gordon to let Jimmy Vale go,
so we can watch him.
We haven't had
much time to do that.
Maybe Vicki's keeping track
of her brother.
I hope so.
I think we can
take a chance now.
Hello. This is Jimmy Vale.
OK, Neil, rendezvous "D".
I'll be right over.
[Footsteps approaching]
Markham building.
[Engine starting]
Keep the change.
[Telephone ringing]
Mr. Wayne's residence.
Oh, this is Vicki Vale. I
must speak to mr. Wayne at once.
I'm sorry, miss Vale,
he's not at home.
Do you know where
you can find him?
No, I don't. Do you
wish to leave a message?
Yes, tell him that
Oh, never mind.
[Machine humming]
Somebody's coming along the
corridor towards the door.
See who it is.
It's Jimmy Vale.
He sure took his time.
What took you so long?
My sister Vicki dropped in.
Are you sure
you weren't followed?
E. Certainly. Otherwise I
wouldn't have come her
sit down and relax.
We've got a big job coming up.
Any messages, Alfred?
(Alfred) Miss Vale called a
little over an hour ago.
She seemed quite angry when she
learned you were not at home.
Thanks.
I wonder What Vicki wanted.
might be something
about her brother.
I hope he doesn't
get her in trouble.
[Machine humming]
Someone's snooping
around this floor.
See who it is.
He doesn't stand still
long enough.
Go out and look around.
Who are you looking for?
My brother.
We're just the boys
who can take you to him.
[Knocking on door]
Vicki!
You sure fixed things.
Let her go.
so she can bring the police?
Maybe she already has.
Lock her up in there.
Get outside and see if she
did bring any cops.
[Telephone ringing]
Mr. Wayne's residence.
This is Vicki Vale.
Look, I'm a prisoner
in a downtown office building.
Now, I want you to write down
this address and give it to Bruce.
The number is
[Footsteps approaching]
[Door opening]
How much longer am I
to be held a prisoner here?
Nice try, sister,
but don't try it again.
Somebody for me, Alfred?
Yes, it was miss Vale, sir,
but she's no long er on the wire.
Why not?
Somebody forced her to hang up.
Where is she?
Well, she started to explain
she was being held prisoner
in some office building.
Then the connection was broken.
That building must be one
of the Wizard's hideouts.
But how can we find it?
That last prisoner we caught
should know where it is.
Getting him to reveal
anything would be a man-sized job.
Yes, a Batman-sized job.
But it's our only hope.
Don't ask questions. Get in
that delivery truck and take off.
[Engine starting]
Jason sure fell for that
phony escape routine.
We can thank commissioner Gordon
for helping us put it over.
I hope it helps us find Vicki.
This is Jason
calling rendezvous C.
Jason calling rendezvous C.
Come in, rendezvous C.
He found the radio all right.
(Gabe) This is Gabe
at rendezvous C.
I thought you were
in the hoosegow, Jason.
I was, but I got out.
Where do I report?
Report to rendezvous "D".
Check.
Wait here. I'll be right back.
It's Jason.
Couldn't be, he's in jail.
Not now, he isn't.
He's right outside that door.
Let him in.
How'd you get here?
Well, don't you know?
if I did, I wouldn't ask.
You mean you didn't
have anything to do
with my escape,
or that getaway car?
Certainly not.
Someone's been playing games.
Well, it's not me.
[Machine humming]
Another visitor.
There's the answer.
Someone's tailed you here.
This'll take care of anybody
who touches any metal
in the hallway.
(Neil) He'll be knocked cold.
Come on, let's go.
[Door closes]
Vicki, this is Jimmy.
I'll get you out
as soon as I can.
[Banging on door]
[Buzzing]
Bruce Wayne.
No one came this way.
Let's split up
and head 'em off.
Let me out of here!
Open the door!
[Banging on door]
Batman, they're
searching for you.
[Scuffling]
[Grunts]
[Thudding]
(Narrator) Must Robin
now carry on alone?
Who is making a getaway
in this speeding car?
