in a bitter batter
of Riddler quicksand.

Holy Titanic, Batman, we're
going down for the last time.
22
00:01:43,154 --> 00:01:44,286
Don't be a pessimist, Robin.
23
00:01:44,288 --> 00:01:47,589
Many of those who survived
that tragedy did so by remaining
24
00:01:47,591 --> 00:01:50,358
calm on treading water
until help arrived.
25
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,259
But this is quicksand.
26

I know, Robin
27
00:01:52,761 --> 00:01:56,729
but I seem to recall a recent
report on Jungle Survival
28
00:01:56,731 --> 00:02:01,300
which indicated that many
victims of quicksand are victims
29
00:02:01,302 --> 00:02:02,301
because of their own panic.
30
00:02:02,303 --> 00:02:04,636
It's not doing a lot
for my nerves either.
31
00:02:04,638 --> 00:02:06,704
The specific gravity
of quicksand approximates
32
00:02:06,706 --> 00:02:09,139
that of water. If we remain
calm and motionless
33
00:02:09,141 --> 00:02:13,409
we shouldn't sink much further
than your lower lip.
34
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,480
- It's working, Batman.
- Yes.
35
00:02:19,482 --> 00:02:22,749
One thing worries me though,
how long can we keep floating.
36
00:02:22,751 --> 00:02:25,885
We won't have to float
long, old chum.
37
00:02:25,887 --> 00:02:28,721

heel-and-toe Bat-rockets
38
00:02:28,723 --> 00:02:29,855
perform as well as they should.

Let's not put off till tomorrow
what we can do today, Robin.

As I begin the countdown,
slowly reach
43
00:02:39,198 --> 00:02:43,233
for the heal and toe Bat-rocket
controls in your utility belt.
44
00:02:43,235 --> 00:02:50,373
Remember, any sudden movement,
will disturb our equilibrium

- Alive?

Impossible, dear Anna Gram.

When is an eagle's nest,

90
00:05:03,016 --> 00:05:05,683
Seems to me that any nest
is most blessed

00:05:05,685 --> 00:05:07,484
when there're little ones in it.
92
00:05:07,486 --> 00:05:09,552
- Yes.
- Or nest eggs.
93
00:05:09,554 --> 00:05:10,586
Riddler's after a nest egg.
94
00:05:10,588 --> 00:05:13,355
Which leaves me to speculate
that he intends to strike
95
00:05:13,357 --> 00:05:16,358
an eagle's nest
somewhere here in Gotham City.
96
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,659
- Do you agree, Robin?
- I agree.
97
00:05:17,661 --> 00:05:22,497
But, there hasn't been an eagle
in Gotham City in 75 years

e-except in a zoo.
99
00:05:23,433 --> 00:05:26,700
Perhaps not, Chief O'Hara,
but I know of at least
100
00:05:26,702 --> 00:05:28,835
one eagle's nest.
101
00:05:28,837 --> 00:05:30,636

103
00:05:31,372 --> 00:05:33,872
High atop
the Gotham City State Building
104
00:05:33,874 --> 00:05:35,640
known as The Eyrie.
105
00:05:35,642 --> 00:05:38,376
Of course, The Eyrie
or eagle's nest.
106
00:05:38,378 --> 00:05:41,679
A favorite watering place
for Gotham City's elite.
107
00:05:41,681 --> 00:05:45,983
And a perfect target
for an aquiline attack.
108
00:05:47,418 --> 00:05:48,584
Aquiline.
109
00:05:48,586 --> 00:05:51,887
That's a very descriptive word,
Commissioner Gordon.
110
00:05:51,889 --> 00:05:54,522
Are you acquainted
with the terminology, Robin?
111
00:05:54,524 --> 00:05:56,557
Aquiline, of or like an eagle
112
00:05:56,559 --> 00:05:58,959
from aquila, Latin for eagle.
113
00:05:58,961 --> 00:05:59,559
Yes.
114
00:05:59,561 --> 00:06:02,929
And what,
Latin eagle now lives
115
00:06:02,931 --> 00:06:06,432
resides or nests
here in Gotham City?
116
00:06:06,434 --> 00:06:09,668
Anthony Aquilo, the exile
dictator from South America.
117
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:11,836
And a multi-millionaire
who's rumored to keep at least
118
00:06:11,838 --> 00:06:16,674
one million dollars in cash
in his wall safe at all times.
119
00:06:16,676 --> 00:06:18,442
That must be it, Batman.
120
00:06:18,444 --> 00:06:20,811
How could The Riddler
resist such a treasure?
121
00:06:20,813 --> 00:06:25,415
There's treasure at both ends
of the rainbow, commissioner.
122
00:06:25,417 --> 00:06:26,382
While Robin and I dash
123
00:06:26,384 --> 00:06:29,685
to Anthony Aquilo's
palatial penthouse apartment
124
00:06:29,687 --> 00:06:33,789
you and your men,
in blue, protect the area.
125
00:06:33,791 --> 00:06:35,690
An ingenious tactic.

127

and good luck
to all of us.

138
00:07:32,572 --> 00:07:33,671

139
00:07:33,673 --> 00:07:35,873
Fifteen feet
of lethal quicksand.
140
00:07:35,875 --> 00:07:38,709
They sure don't look
defunct to me, Riddler.
141
00:07:38,711 --> 00:07:41,745
Or demised, departed, and dead.
142
00:07:41,747 --> 00:07:42,645

on our side, that's how.

And then we'll talk
about the money
149
00:08:14,775 --> 00:08:16,775
you took from
the poor and needy.
150
00:08:16,777 --> 00:08:18,510
No, we don't, Boy Wonder.
151
00:08:18,512 --> 00:08:20,111
Because you and your
deputized friend
152
00:08:20,113 --> 00:08:22,480
are gonna watch me
walk out of here.
153
00:08:22,482 --> 00:08:26,183
Follow me,
then I'll show you why.
154
00:08:34,825 --> 00:08:35,891
At ease, old chum,
I suspect
155
00:08:35,893 --> 00:08:38,693
'Riddler's prisoner
is Senor Aquila himself.'
156
00:08:38,695 --> 00:08:41,062
Brilliant deduction, hold this.
157
00:08:41,064 --> 00:08:45,933
Yes, the eagle himself
caged like a big bird
158
00:08:45,935 --> 00:08:51,872
and, Batman, his life
is in your hands. Thank you.
159
00:08:51,874 --> 00:08:55,942
I prepared this tricky cage,
in case the news report was true
160
00:08:55,944 --> 00:08:57,176
and you two showed up.
161
00:08:57,178 --> 00:08:59,745
In mere moments,
an explosive charge inside
162
00:08:59,747 --> 00:09:03,815
that ticking green box,
will send Senor Aquila
163
00:09:03,817 --> 00:09:05,583
and his palatial penthouse
164
00:09:05,585 --> 00:09:09,119
higher than any eagle
has ever flown.
165
00:09:12,723 --> 00:09:13,489
Unless?
166
00:09:13,491 --> 00:09:16,825
Unless you and, uh, junior here
unlock the secret
167
00:09:16,827 --> 00:09:20,862
to these baffling bars
and disarm the bomb inside.
168
00:09:20,864 --> 00:09:22,630
Well, adios amigos.
169
00:09:22,632 --> 00:09:25,132
Better get to work.
Ta-ta, huh?
170
00:09:25,134 --> 00:09:28,668
Are we gonna let them
walk out just like that?
171
00:09:28,670 --> 00:09:29,235
We have no choice.
172
00:09:29,237 --> 00:09:31,237
Senor Aquila has many friends
in his home
173
00:09:31,239 --> 00:09:34,573
and we cannot risk
an international incident.
174
00:09:34,575 --> 00:09:36,041
I suppose you're right.
175
00:09:36,043 --> 00:09:39,044
This particular puzzle case
doesn't seem to conform
176
00:09:39,046 --> 00:09:41,146
to the usual
puzzle cage pattern.
177
00:09:41,148 --> 00:09:43,848
Some of the medieval
puzzle cages were designed
178
00:09:43,850 --> 00:09:46,584
so that all the intersecting
rods were dependent
179
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:50,788
upon the axis
of only one supporting rod.
180
00:09:51,723 --> 00:09:54,224
Disengaging that one rod..
181
00:09:59,130 --> 00:10:00,730
...unlocks the entire cage.
182
00:10:00,732 --> 00:10:02,298
Stand clear, Robin.
183
00:10:32,162 --> 00:10:35,664
Curious, but decidedly
an explosive.
184
00:10:35,666 --> 00:10:37,866
"To whom it may concern."
185
00:10:39,835 --> 00:10:43,404
"If the tail fits, wear it."
186
00:10:48,309 --> 00:10:52,145
There you are, professor.
Three million dollars.
187
00:10:52,147 --> 00:10:57,216
I must admit, Mr. Riddler,
you are a man of your word.
188
00:10:57,218 --> 00:10:59,685
Where do we go
to pick up the demolecularizer?
189
00:10:59,687 --> 00:11:03,055
Oh, I have it with me
at all times.
190
00:11:05,691 --> 00:11:08,726
- This is the demolecularizer?
- Mm-hm.
191
00:11:08,728 --> 00:11:10,928
You want me to pay
three million dollars
192
00:11:10,930 --> 00:11:13,830
for an 89 cent
pencil flashlight?
193
00:11:13,832 --> 00:11:16,766
That "89 cents pencil
flashlight"
194
00:11:16,768 --> 00:11:18,968
as you call it, Mr. Riddler
195
00:11:18,970 --> 00:11:22,237
is in reality a highly
sophisticated weapon
196
00:11:22,239 --> 00:11:25,707
'which took
a life time to develop.'
197
00:11:25,709 --> 00:11:27,275
Powerful enough to disrupt
198
00:11:27,277 --> 00:11:29,744
the molecular structure
of matter
199
00:11:29,746 --> 00:11:32,913
yet so simply designed
that it can be recharged
200
00:11:32,915 --> 00:11:38,084
by plugging it in any
household electrical outlet.
201
00:11:39,152 --> 00:11:41,386
How does it work?
202
00:11:41,388 --> 00:11:43,054
Um.
203
00:11:43,989 --> 00:11:47,458
Watch that, uh, green derby
204
00:11:47,460 --> 00:11:50,093
'on the chair over there.'
205
00:11:51,962 --> 00:11:54,330
[demolecularizer buzzing]
206
00:11:59,969 --> 00:12:02,403
It's good.
207
00:12:02,405 --> 00:12:05,139
It disappeared.
208
00:12:05,141 --> 00:12:06,306
That thing really works.
209
00:12:06,308 --> 00:12:08,274
As I said it would.
210
00:12:09,909 --> 00:12:11,876
Make it come back now.
211
00:12:12,377 --> 00:12:13,944
That isn't yet possible.
212
00:12:13,946 --> 00:12:19,215
I haven't even begun work
on the molecular restorer
213
00:12:19,217 --> 00:12:20,950
for lack of funds.
214
00:12:20,952 --> 00:12:26,922
Well, now you have
three million dollars..
215
00:12:28,090 --> 00:12:30,057
...and I have Gotham City
216
00:12:30,059 --> 00:12:32,359
right by the throat.
217
00:12:36,397 --> 00:12:38,965
Get Commissioner Gordon
on the phone.
218
00:12:38,967 --> 00:12:41,467
He should be the first to know.
219
00:12:45,505 --> 00:12:47,839
[laughs]
220
00:12:54,313 --> 00:12:56,514
[instrumental music]
221
00:13:05,323 --> 00:13:06,356
Another crisis, commissioner?
222
00:13:06,358 --> 00:13:09,258
A rather enigmatic phone call
from The Riddler.
223
00:13:09,260 --> 00:13:10,225
He suggested that we keep
224
00:13:10,227 --> 00:13:13,061
our eye
on Marshall Coley's statue.
225
00:13:13,063 --> 00:13:15,263
Do you think he'd dare
desecrate the statue
226
00:13:15,265 --> 00:13:18,032
of our revered war hero,
right here in Coley Square?
227
00:13:18,034 --> 00:13:20,901
(Batman)
'A life of crime
is more in The Riddler's
228
00:13:20,903 --> 00:13:24,104
moral fiber to a frayed strand,
commissioner.
229
00:13:24,106 --> 00:13:25,371
He may have little respect
230
00:13:25,373 --> 00:13:28,841
for the memory
of the great Marshall Coley.
231
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:39,484
This could be
another of Riddler's ruses.
232
00:13:39,486 --> 00:13:41,552
Quite true, Robin.
233
00:13:47,125 --> 00:13:47,824
Holy Houdini!
234
00:13:47,826 --> 00:13:49,992
(Commissioner)
'Great slithering snakes!'
235
00:13:49,994 --> 00:13:52,861
'The marshal, he's gone.'
236
00:13:54,530 --> 00:13:56,197
Uncanny.
237
00:14:04,839 --> 00:14:07,273
Careful, Chief O'Hara,
whatever, unknown force
238
00:14:07,275 --> 00:14:10,843
was employed in dematerializing
Marshall Coley's statue
239
00:14:10,845 --> 00:14:13,512
may have left a contaminating
residue on the pedestal.
240
00:14:13,514 --> 00:14:17,449
Begorrah, you're right.
Thanks, Caped Crusader.
241
00:14:22,421 --> 00:14:24,822
Someone here called Batman?
242
00:14:24,824 --> 00:14:26,056
Yes, I'm Batman.
243
00:14:26,058 --> 00:14:28,058
Telegram.
244
00:14:40,604 --> 00:14:42,938
Another Riddler-gram.
245
00:14:45,975 --> 00:14:47,875
It's an ultimatum.
246
00:14:47,877 --> 00:14:50,143
Unless Gotham City
is declared an open city
247
00:14:50,145 --> 00:14:54,514
and all criminal statutes
rescinded within two hours..
248
00:14:54,516 --> 00:14:56,516
...Police Headquarters
will disappear as surely
249
00:14:56,518 --> 00:14:59,285
and as quickly
as Marshall Coley's statue.
250
00:14:59,287 --> 00:15:01,387
That swaggerin' peacock!
251
00:15:01,389 --> 00:15:02,855
Oh, he's only bluffin'.
252
00:15:02,857 --> 00:15:05,224
(Gordon)
'I'm afraid not, chief.'
253
00:15:05,226 --> 00:15:06,892
Listen to this.
254
00:15:06,894 --> 00:15:08,960
"If the city fathers
refuse to capitulate
255
00:15:08,962 --> 00:15:11,062
"that the police headquarters
is gone
256
00:15:11,064 --> 00:15:15,199
"building after
building will disappear.
257
00:15:15,533 --> 00:15:17,433
Until they do."
258
00:15:19,869 --> 00:15:23,171
To confound us further
the telegram ends with a riddle.
259
00:15:23,173 --> 00:15:26,908
"What is it that travels
on all fours in the morning
260
00:15:26,910 --> 00:15:30,978
"and two legs at noon
and three at twilight?
261
00:15:30,980 --> 00:15:37,284
If you intend to follow me, add
the answer to the other three."
262
00:15:37,551 --> 00:15:39,051
What can we do, Batman?
263
00:15:39,053 --> 00:15:42,187
It saddens me,
commissioner, but..
264
00:15:42,922 --> 00:15:44,889
I just don't know.
265
00:15:50,996 --> 00:15:51,929
[instrumental music]
266
00:15:51,931 --> 00:15:54,631
Gosh, Batman, I'm sure
hung up on this riddle.
267
00:15:54,633 --> 00:15:58,167
I'll help you just as soon
as I collate these figures
268
00:15:58,169 --> 00:16:00,169
from the remote Bat-computer.
269
00:16:00,171 --> 00:16:02,638
Now, if my original premise
was correct
270
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,907
and that machine has done
a man's job.
271
00:16:05,909 --> 00:16:07,475
Man's job?
272
00:16:07,477 --> 00:16:09,376
Man's job!
273
00:16:09,378 --> 00:16:10,210
Man!
274
00:16:10,212 --> 00:16:11,144
That's it, Batman!
275
00:16:11,146 --> 00:16:13,346
Man travels on all
fours in the morning
276
00:16:13,348 --> 00:16:14,980
of his life,
or as an infant.
277
00:16:14,982 --> 00:16:17,482
And on two legs
at noon or as an adult.
278
00:16:17,484 --> 00:16:21,052
And with a cane or three legs
in the twilight of his life.
279
00:16:21,054 --> 00:16:23,988
(Batman)
'Congratulations, Robin.
Now's let's concentrate'
280
00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:26,056
on the last part
of Riddler's challenge.
281
00:16:26,058 --> 00:16:31,061
If you intend to follow me, add
the answer to the other three.
282
00:16:31,195 --> 00:16:36,699
Select the key words from each
of the first three riddles.
283
00:16:36,701 --> 00:16:38,367
Page, banquet
284
00:16:38,369 --> 00:16:40,335
eagle's nest and man.
285
00:16:40,337 --> 00:16:42,970
For instance, the letter "P"
in the word "Page"
286
00:16:42,972 --> 00:16:45,172
is the 16th letter
in the alphabet.
287
00:16:45,174 --> 00:16:50,377
Using numerical positions in the
alphabet as a common denominator
288
00:16:50,379 --> 00:16:52,045
we then add the number
289
00:16:52,047 --> 00:16:55,548
two for "banquet"
and five for "eagles"
290
00:16:55,550 --> 00:16:57,016
and thirteen for "man".
291
00:16:57,018 --> 00:16:58,550
And the total?
292
00:16:58,552 --> 00:17:01,519
- Thirty six.
- Thirty six.
293
00:17:02,387 --> 00:17:06,690
Thirty six inches
in a yard or three feet.
294
00:17:07,124 --> 00:17:10,059
And who has three feet? You?
295
00:17:11,261 --> 00:17:12,628
No one.
296
00:17:14,130 --> 00:17:16,531
Or no man.
297
00:17:16,665 --> 00:17:19,266
I seem to recall
a recent announcements
298
00:17:19,268 --> 00:17:22,669
of a factory
opening by that name.
299
00:17:22,671 --> 00:17:27,073
Robin, activate remote
Bat-computer again.
300
00:17:27,674 --> 00:17:29,675
[beeping]
301
00:17:36,349 --> 00:17:38,083
Noman Jigsaw Puzzle Factory
302
00:17:38,085 --> 00:17:40,618
on the corner
of Shady Glade and fifth.
303
00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:42,353
Excellent.
304
00:17:44,356 --> 00:17:45,456
- Commissioner?
- Yes, Batman.
305
00:17:45,458 --> 00:17:47,157
Could you arrange for
the immediate delivery
306
00:17:47,159 --> 00:17:50,760
of four one hundred pound
sacks of sodium dichlorite
307
00:17:50,762 --> 00:17:53,496
to the Bat-copter?
I'll explain later.
308
00:17:53,498 --> 00:17:56,031
Consider it done.
Anything else?
309
00:17:56,033 --> 00:17:56,598
Yes, do not..
310
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,636
I repeat do not capitulate
to any of Riddler's demands
311
00:18:01,638 --> 00:18:05,172
until you hear from me
under any circumstances.
312
00:18:05,174 --> 00:18:08,008
You have my word
on that too, Batman.
313
00:18:08,010 --> 00:18:09,009
Good.
314
00:18:09,011 --> 00:18:12,579
What are we going to do with
four one hundred pound sacks
315
00:18:12,581 --> 00:18:13,746
of sodium dichlorite, Batman?
316
00:18:13,748 --> 00:18:16,348
Checkmate Riddler! Hopefully.
317
00:18:17,149 --> 00:18:21,018
While the Caped Crusaders
race against approaching doom
318
00:18:21,020 --> 00:18:27,090
their impatient adversary frets
away the remaining minutes.
319
00:18:28,759 --> 00:18:34,163
How can you lamebrains play
cards at the time of this?
320
00:18:34,165 --> 00:18:37,699
Gee, Riddler honey, what else
is there to do?
321
00:18:37,701 --> 00:18:39,267
Turn the television on.
322
00:18:39,269 --> 00:18:41,168
That fat-headed police
commissioner has little
323
00:18:41,170 --> 00:18:44,037
less than half an hour
before he starts looking
324
00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:46,105
for new headquarters
325
00:18:47,107 --> 00:18:50,142
Chief O'Hara, I'm Bud Furillo,
the Gotham City Herald
326
00:18:50,144 --> 00:18:52,544
is there anything
I can tell my readers
327
00:18:52,546 --> 00:18:53,611
about your investigation?
328
00:18:53,613 --> 00:18:56,313
Well, we've moved every piece
of furniture in this building.
329
00:18:56,315 --> 00:18:59,149
We've looked under every rug
but nothing could be found.
330
00:18:59,151 --> 00:19:02,752
What is it that you and your
elite squad are looking for?
331
00:19:02,754 --> 00:19:03,786
Well, we don't exactly know
332
00:19:03,788 --> 00:19:07,389
'but will keep looking
till the very last second.'
333
00:19:07,391 --> 00:19:08,523
(Bud)
'Thank you, chief.'
334
00:19:08,525 --> 00:19:12,093
Poor Chief O'Hara, knocking
himself out, looking all over
335
00:19:12,095 --> 00:19:13,461
the building for
a demolecularizer
336
00:19:13,463 --> 00:19:16,430
when its hidden right there
in the commissioner's office.
337
00:19:16,432 --> 00:19:18,265
- It is?
- When did you do that?
338
00:19:18,267 --> 00:19:20,200
On my way back
from Marshall Coley Square
339
00:19:20,202 --> 00:19:23,236
I plugged it into an ordinary
electrical outlet behind
340
00:19:23,238 --> 00:19:24,203
the Commissioner's couch.
341
00:19:24,205 --> 00:19:26,338
If the commissioner
follows my instructions
342
00:19:26,340 --> 00:19:27,639
and issues a
capitulation proclamation
343
00:19:27,641 --> 00:19:32,210
at precisely 4:55 pm,
I'll call him and tell him
344
00:19:32,212 --> 00:19:34,812
how to deactivate
the automatic trigger.
345
00:19:34,814 --> 00:19:37,147
- How?
- Simple.
346
00:19:37,149 --> 00:19:40,783
Turn the wall switch
to the off position.
347
00:19:40,785 --> 00:19:42,684
[laughing]
348
00:19:43,318 --> 00:19:47,087
Meanwhile, the Dynamic Duo
wings across the city
349
00:19:47,089 --> 00:19:51,691
with their cargo
of sodium dichlorite.
350
00:19:52,659 --> 00:19:56,228
[intense music]
351
00:19:56,362 --> 00:19:59,297
(man on TV)
'The moment is almost
at hand now'
352
00:19:59,299 --> 00:20:01,399
'when the city must
announce its decision.'
353
00:20:01,401 --> 00:20:04,368
Capitulation will amount
to official sanction
354
00:20:04,370 --> 00:20:05,802
of wanton lawlessness.
355
00:20:05,804 --> 00:20:09,772
Standing fast will
prompt unholy destruction.
356
00:20:09,774 --> 00:20:11,708
We understand that
Commissioner Gordon
357
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,843
has refused to
leave the building.
358
00:20:13,845 --> 00:20:17,947
Wonderful! Let him go
down with his building.
359
00:20:17,949 --> 00:20:19,481
[laughing]
360
00:20:19,483 --> 00:20:21,749
There is very good time
left now.
361
00:20:21,751 --> 00:20:25,486
[instrumental music]
362
00:20:28,656 --> 00:20:33,459
No time to use the stairs.
we'll have to try the Bat-rope.
363
00:20:37,564 --> 00:20:39,331
Stand clear.
364
00:20:39,665 --> 00:20:44,268
(Man on TV)
'Our telephoto lens is providing
the view of police headquarters'
365
00:20:44,270 --> 00:20:46,370
'which you see on your screen.'
366
00:20:46,372 --> 00:20:47,671
'Except for Commissioner Gordon'
367
00:20:47,673 --> 00:20:52,609
'Chief O'Hara and his elite bomb
squad, the building is empty.'
368
00:20:52,611 --> 00:20:55,311
All we can do
is watch and wait.
369
00:20:55,313 --> 00:20:59,648
Watch and wait, Gotham City!
There's more to come.
370
00:20:59,650 --> 00:21:01,916
As the seconds tick away,
the clouds above
371
00:21:01,918 --> 00:21:04,285
police headquarters
seem to be darkening
372
00:21:04,287 --> 00:21:06,720
as though a storm were imminent.
373
00:21:06,954 --> 00:21:10,523
(man on TV)
'Just five seconds to go.'
374
00:21:10,525 --> 00:21:11,757
'Four..'
375
00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:13,391
'...three..'
376
00:21:13,393 --> 00:21:15,526
'...two, one.'
377
00:21:15,528 --> 00:21:17,728
[thunder rumbling]
378
00:21:19,864 --> 00:21:21,497
What happened?
379
00:21:21,631 --> 00:21:23,498
The demolecularizer.
380
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:24,465
It didn't work.
381
00:21:24,467 --> 00:21:27,768
I knew it was
a cheap flashlight.
382
00:21:27,770 --> 00:21:30,837
Flashlight.
Flashlight!
383
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:31,737
Try again, Riddler.
384
00:21:31,739 --> 00:21:35,040
Didn't your mother ever tell you
not to play with electricity?
385
00:21:35,042 --> 00:21:36,908
You two.
How did you do it?
386
00:21:36,910 --> 00:21:39,710
The super charge electrical
power of that lightning bolt
387
00:21:39,712 --> 00:21:42,345
neutralized the effect
of your fiendish weapon.
388
00:21:42,347 --> 00:21:46,649
How did you know the lightning
would strike at the right time?
389
00:21:46,651 --> 00:21:47,616
We arranged for it.
390
00:21:47,618 --> 00:21:51,486
Cloud seeding with 400
pounds of sodium dichlorite
391
00:21:51,488 --> 00:21:53,888
fortunately my
calculations proved correct.
392
00:21:53,890 --> 00:21:56,624
As usual your riddles
led us right to you.
393
00:21:56,626 --> 00:21:59,560
You've made the mistake of
being predictable yourselves
394
00:21:59,562 --> 00:22:03,530
with your legendary
window entrances.
395
00:22:03,532 --> 00:22:04,664
Riddle me this.
396
00:22:04,666 --> 00:22:07,867
When is a floor like a puzzle?
397
00:22:07,869 --> 00:22:09,635
[beeps]
398
00:22:10,770 --> 00:22:13,605

400
00:22:29,553 --> 00:22:31,654
Help, Batman!
401

[music continues]

403
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,080
Oh.
404
00:23:03,950 --> 00:23:04,783
Nice catch, chief.
405
00:23:04,785 --> 00:23:07,452
Let go of me,
you blue coated baboon!
406
00:23:07,454 --> 00:23:10,655
I'll bet she's
the toughest one of the bunch!
407
00:23:10,657 --> 00:23:12,657
She's the only
one still kicking.
408
00:23:12,659 --> 00:23:14,592
[screaming]
409
00:23:20,432 --> 00:23:23,567
Coming forward voluntarily
with this stolen charity money
410
00:23:23,569 --> 00:23:25,635
you should tip
the scales of justice
411
00:23:25,637 --> 00:23:26,702
in your favor, professor.
412
00:23:26,704 --> 00:23:30,505
No man can live with
the wails of hungry children
413
00:23:30,507 --> 00:23:31,472
on his conscience.
414
00:23:31,474 --> 00:23:34,408
Professor, when you
paid your debt to society
415
00:23:34,410 --> 00:23:36,610
you'll be able to continue
your scientific studies
416
00:23:36,612 --> 00:23:42,616
under the wing of the Gotham
City Science Institute.
417
00:23:42,618 --> 00:23:45,919
I don't know how
to thank you, Batman
418
00:23:45,921 --> 00:23:48,554
for arranging my membership.
419
00:23:48,556 --> 00:23:49,955
You can thank our
friend Bruce Wayne.
420
00:23:49,957 --> 00:23:51,890
(Batman)
'Mr. Wayne persuaded
the membership'
421
00:23:51,892 --> 00:23:55,560
to lower the customary
educational requirements.
422
00:23:55,562 --> 00:23:59,664
Robin, we should take this money
to the Wayne Foundation
423
00:23:59,666 --> 00:24:01,899
before they close
the business hours.
424
00:24:01,901 --> 00:24:03,567
Roger!
425
00:24:06,571 --> 00:24:08,171
Amazing man!
426
00:24:08,173 --> 00:24:12,808
Do you know who
is under that mask of his?
427
00:24:12,810 --> 00:24:14,776
To ask, professor, who he is
428
00:24:14,778 --> 00:24:19,447
is nowhere near as important
as where he is..
429
00:24:19,449 --> 00:24:21,615
...at all times.
430
00:24:27,421 --> 00:24:31,957
Next week, Cesar Romero
returns as The Joker.
