All language subtitles for Batman S01E11 A Riddle a Day Keeps the Riddler Away.DVDRip.NonHI.en.WB

Gotham City
International Airport.

A pleasant day for
an important arrival.

Royal Ambassador Service...

Well, gentlemen, please,
a little room for the king.

Welcome to Gotham City, Your Highness.
This has been a long-awaited pleasure.

Thank you, my friends, but the
pleasure is entirely mine. Heh, heh.

I've heard wonderful
things about your city.

- How was your flight, Your Majesty?
- Bumpy.

Oh, eh, except when we crossed into
American territory, then it was smooth.

- I'd like to ask...
- The, uh, limousine's waiting.

I'm sure you'd like to go
to the hotel and freshen up.

Fine, fine.

- Oh, may I take that for you?
- No, no, thank you, no.

No offense, but it's too important. I shall
carry it with me until the presentation.

Your Majesty, on behalf of
the welcoming committee...

I'd like to present
you with these roses.

Well, thank you, young
lady. Thank you very much.

Shy little thing,
isn't she? Heh, heh.

But these flowers
are certainly...

Make anything out
of it, Chief O'Hara?

There's no doubt about it.

The Riddler, that infernal prince of puzzlers
as you call him, is up to his old tricks.

And what would those tricks be, chief?
"When is a person like piece of wood?"

- What does it mean?
- I wish I knew, commissioner. I wish I knew.

Anyone else think they can
make any sense out of it?

Well, there is one man
who might be able to.

I have a fine
police force here...

yet I have no alternative but to
call on their services once again.

A long time ago I gave up trying to figure
out who he was. I owe him too much for that.

We all owe him
a very great deal.

And in Wayne Manor...

stately and secure home
of millionaire Bruce Wayne...

and his youthful
ward, Dick Grayson.

I'll beckon him,
sir, immediately.

I think that's mate, old chum.

- Gosh, Bruce, why can't I ever beat you?
- You have on several occasions.

Only when your mind is
on important matters or...

Ahem. Excuse me for interrupting,
sir, but it's the Batphone.

Oh, boy.

- Sorry, Aunt Harriet, didn't mean to scare you.
- Mercy alive.

If didn't know you two better, I'd
think you were up to something.

Oh, what do you
mean, Aunt Harriet?

Well, it's just that,
every once in a while...

you come zooming out of
this room like jet planes...

practically knocking me over and then,
rushing out with hardly any explanation.

That is no mystery,
Aunt Harriet.

Dick and I just played a game of
chess and we agreed that, if I won...

he'd do some studying. If he
won, we'd go fishing. Bye, dear.

- Yes, commissioner.
- Batman, I'm having trouble...

- with a riddle.
- Him again.

We'll be right over.
To the Batpoles.

- It's the Riddler's modus operandi, all right.
- I agree.

Nobody else would use such a spectacular
and bizarre method to flaunt a puzzle.

What the devil is the
culprit trying to tell us?

The riddle itself is pretty basic. A person
is a piece of wood when he's a ruler.

You figure it has something
to do with King Boris?

- Maybe.
- Good thinking, Robin...

but no attempt was made
to abduct or to harm him.

Wood, ruler, king.

A chess king, the international
chess tournament tonight...

$25,000 in prize money.

- Boy Wonder, you've done it again.
- I think this thing is much bigger than that.

The Riddler goes after millions, not thousands.
He loves to dazzle us with his fancy footwork.

In any case, chief, assign an extra
squad of men to cover the place.

What is King Boris's itinerary?

Well, he's here
on a goodwill visit.

Among other things, he should be an honorary
judge at the Miss Galaxy finals tomorrow.

And the following day will appear
at the Queen of Freedom Monument.

I saw that in the papers.

He's going to present
a museum of fame...

with a doll-sized replica
of the Queen of Freedom.

A queen? A queen
can be a ruler. That's it.

What queen? There is no
queen. The king ain't married.

There will be tomorrow,
a new queen of beauty.

They're going to crown her with a
priceless diamond and emerald tiara.

Exactly, Robin. And it's my guess that
our puzzling friend will try to steal it.

Now we're getting somewhere, I'll
have that place blocked so tight...

On the contrary.

I think we should let
the Riddler steal the tiara.

Ladies and gentlemen, before
I announce this year's winner...

I should like to introduce
you to last year's Miss Galaxy.

She is Jacky Sands.

This is it, the moment you
have all been waiting for...

the moment one of these girls has
been waiting for, our moment of truth.

Knowing that arch-villain, the Riddler, I'm
almost positive he'll show up for this event.

We'll soon find out. Miss Galaxy
will be crowned any moment.

The new Miss Galaxy,
queen of beauty...

is Southern City's own
sparkling-eyed beauty...

Julia Davis.

- Congratulations, Julia.
- Thank you.

Miss Galaxy, it is with great pleasure
that I crown you queen of beauty...

with this magnificent
diamond and emerald tiara.

Oh!

- Isn't she beautiful?
- Thank you.

Miss Galaxy. Let's hear it
for her, ladies and gentlemen.

He's in for quite surprise when he discovers
I substituted a paste tiara for the real one.

Too bad we didn't get a
chance to paste the Riddler.

We might yet. Don't forget, I placed a
homing transmitter in the band of that tiara.

- It'll lead us right to his hideout.
- Yes.

Now to the Batmobile.

- Wait, Robin, look.
- Holy sewer pipe, what's he up to?

You're slipping, Batman.

I knew it was a phony crown
all the time. Heh, heh, heh!

Riddle me this, crime fighter,
what room can no one enter?

If you figure it out, look for
another royal riddle in this crown.

That ends any chance of
tracking him on the homing device.

- Shall we go after him in the manhole?
- We'd never find him.

There're hundreds
of tunnels down there.

- A riddle a day keeps the Riddler away.
- What?

Once, a long time ago, the Riddler
made the mistake of telling me that.

It means as long as he dishes out
riddles, he's not finished with his plot.

When the riddles stop, that's
when he's ready for his final caper.

And he told the truth, that diamond
tiara wasn't what he was really after.

Right, Robin, but we have two
more riddles to tell us what it might be.

Now, the first clue was,
"What room can no one enter?"

- A mushroom.
- Agreed. The second one, read it again.

"What is the beginning of
eternity, the end of time and space...

beginning of every end
and the end of every race?"

Golly, Batman, it doesn't
seem to make sense.

Let's see, if your first answer,
mushroom, was correct...

- Why, that's it. Of course.
- You have it?

What was it the Riddler said
when he threw back the tiara?

There's a royal
riddle in this crown.

Look up the address of
the Royal Mushroom Club.

There are some things we can do the good
old fashioned way, using the telephone book.

I must be getting lazy.

Meanwhile in another cave...

a rat cave, dreary hideout of
the sinister River Rats Gang...

currently in the
employ of the Riddler.

What's this, River Rats?

Munching cheese while
there's work to be done?

Sorry, Riddler,
but we got hungry.

Oh, indeed. Perhaps
you'll lose your appetite...

when I deduct the cheese bill
from your share of the profits.

- How'd it go, chief?
- Magnificent, sumptuous.

You should've seen the look on
Batman's face when I threw the tiara.

Now, my good rats, now is the time
to go to the Royal Mushroom Club.

If plan 13Z goes well,
and I'm sure it will...

the finest achievement in crime
should be culminated tonight.

The end of Batman and Robin.

And later at the Royal
Mushroom Club...

- Magnificent, what a fantastic duplication.
- With those jewels, it must be worth a fortune.

Value is not the object, it's friendship that
counts and admiration for your great country.

- To America.
- America.

America.

Mmm! What a delicious wine.
Oh, ho! Marvelous bouquet.

The Royal Mushroom Club has
some of the finest wines in the world.

- Right, Mr. Ambassador?
- Yes, fine vintages in rare years, indeed.

Ahem. Begging your
pardon, Mr. Ambassador...

but we're very proud
of our wine cellar.

- Perhaps His Majesty would like a tour?
- An excellent idea.

I'm always interested in good wines, like
a small boy looking at expensive bicycles.

Well, then, let me lead the way.

- Batman, Robin, trouble or pleasure?
- We're not sure yet.

Is King Boris
visiting here tonight?

Why, yes, he just went with some
other guests for a tour of our wine cellar.

- Which way?
- Fastest way is down the stairs.

Come on, Robin, we
haven't a second to lose.

Well, well. Chateau le Duc 29.
Oh, I didn't know there was any left.

I'm very much impressed. Heh.

Batman and Robin, this
is an unexpected pleasure.

Thank you. This isn't a social
visit. May we approach King Boris?

Oh, it's an honor to meet
you. How can I be of service?

Your Majesty, you're in great danger
here. May we escort you to your hotel?

- Danger? Heh, that's ridiculous.
- We thought so too, but then...

Oh, I've heard wondrous
things about you, Batman.

But this time I'm afraid you're
wrong. First of all, I am with friends.

Second, there is no political
threat against me, I assure you.

My country is small and harmless,
my people content and happy.

Who would want to...

Heavenly days!

- The king, he's gone.
- What?

Great Scott, a trap door.

- Does anyone know where this leads?
- I wasn't aware there was a trap door here.

Come on, Robin. There might
be an exit from it outside the club.

"Two steps to aid you with
my plot." That's no riddle.

But those are.

"How much dirt is in a hole three
acres square and 200 feet deep?"

None, because it's a hole.

I suggest that's a bit too
elementary for our quizzical criminal.

"If you're having
difficulty with the first...

perhaps your young friend
can help you on this one.

What won't run long,
without winding?"

"What won't run long without
winding?" Clock? Stairway.

A river.

The Gotham River.

- But which bend or wind?
- We'll soon find out.

Come on, Robin,
back to the Batcave!

Gotham City River, bending
and winding sections.

- Nothing there.
- Hm.

- Negative again.
- Hold it.

I think we may have something.
Let's take a closer look.

That may be it.

Gotham City Water
and Power Plant...

exact location and size.

This could be a clue, a hole
three acres wide and 200 feet deep.

I'll bet the Riddler and his gang
are holing up with King Boris.

- Let's go dig them out.
- And fast.

And at the obsolete
water and power plant...

I don't know what kind of rogues you are, but
I demand that you release me this instant.

Gee, I never met royalty
before. It's pretty thrilling.

Royalty?

You never met royalty?

And just whom do you think
stands before you, my cherub?

I am the Prince of Puzzlers, the
Count of Conundrums, the King of Crime.

I hold court here, no one else!

It was a good idea, hiding
the Batmobile in that thicket.

- Nobody will spot it there.
- Hope no one spots us climbing this wall.

Why don't we just break in
through the main entrance?

- Surprise-attack style.
- Don't worry, we'll catch them off guard.

Through the ventilating system?

First I wanna make sure we don't endanger
King Boris when we make our entrance.

Gosh, there could be diplomatic
repercussions if we fail this time, Batman.

That's not the point, Robin.

What's important is the world know that all
visitors to these teeming shores are safe.

- Be they peasant or a king.
- Gee, Batman, I never thought of that.

- You're right.
- It's the very essence of our democracy.

Now, listen, you have the
Queen of Freedom replica.

What possible good can it
do for you to keep me here?

My fine sovereign friend,
in your wildest imagination...

you could never begin to
conceive my genius stratagem.

If not ransom, then what?

You, my dear king, have
been reduced to a pawn...

an important pawn, however, for you
will be used to checkmate Batman...

and, heh, his precocious,
heh, Boy Wonder.

When they show up...

then my men will escort you
safely back to town, ha, ha...

with your statue.

- You want a piece of cheese?
- Not without a good vintage port, you lackey.

To quote an old axiom, the
finer the bait, the shorter the wait.

Right, king-y?

And we shouldn't have to wait much
longer if Batman fell for my clues.

All right, boy.

Now you're going to fall,
right into the hands of the law.

Now, Whitey.

Batman, we're caught
in this sticky stuff.

I... I can't get out
of it. I... I can't move.

Neither can I.

Ha! It couldn't be more
beautiful. Ha, ha, ha!

Whoever heard of a bat
caught in a spider's web?

Wait, rats, be sure to
strap them down good.

I'm a man of my word, king-y.

Whiskers, Whiskers, return
the statue to His Majesty...

and take him back to town,
blindfolded, of course. Oh...

Oh, you were stupendous
as a pawn, king-y.

Batman and Robin
played right into my hands.

Comfortable?

Batman...

these drive shafts rotate
1000 revolutions per second.

That means the centrifugal force
will tear the bones from your bodies.

But before I start them spinning,
I'd like to spin off one last riddle.

You might have about a
minute to solve it before you die.

Now, then, why is a
woman in love like a welder?

Bye, Batman.

Goodbye, Boy Wonder.

Take it easy, Robin.

One bad turn deserves another.
