All language subtitles for Batman S01E26 - Batman Sets The Pace

♪ Batman ♪♪

We've already seen
innocent shoppers.

A stickup.

It's The Joker!

A clue.

Yes, to oriental royalty.

Theft of the gold golf clubs.

After them.

But no..

...theft of the maharaja.

Did the van vanish?

Or shrink?

Traced to their lair.

But not surprised.

Wrapped for mailing.

Into the mailbox.

Addressed to...oblivion.

Is there no way out?

No way but up?

Let's all hold
our breath for one minute.

The gasser is yet to come.

Oh, no! Don't give up.

Oh, they're so brave.

Oh, yes, one must concede
that, they have courage.

I can't stand it.

Oh, don't think
about it, my dear.

Think about how
simple things will be

with Batman out
of our way forever.

Think of all the things you
can buy with what we can steal.

That's a good idea.

I better check the gauge.

Oh! The gas is 20 feet
high in the chimney.

They must be gone.

Goodbye, Dynamic Duo!

- 'Joker, let's get outta here.'
- 'No, wait.'

'First we must shut off the
poisonous gas and pump it out.'

'Some passerby
might get killer.'

- Yeah, I guess you're right.
- Aww. There. There.

Okay, it's off.

Get the truck
and load up. Quickly. Quickly.

Go on, boys.
Go on, me lads.

I think I'll check
to make sure.

Oh! Curses!

They're getting away!

Look! They discovered
we're gone.

Hey, boss.
Hey, boss. Boss, boss.

Look! Look, look.
They're up on the chimney.

I know that, you fool.

- How'd they get up there?
- They took the elevator.

What do you think?

Want us to get
a rifle and-and shoot 'em?

No, wait a minute, I've got
a much more succulent idea.

Get in. Get in.

Strange, they're leaving.

Perhaps they've
changed their plans.

Now, we'll have
to find them again.

Right. Let's go.

Remember the maharajah's
still in their power.

Oh, drat!

Nothing from this hole
from the golf course

or from the stolen hairpin.

What did The Joker
use the hairpin for?

To trigger the gas bomb
that knocked out the maharaja.

The gas bomb..

Of course, if a trace
of the gas remains..

We've got it!

Uh-hah! That's it.

It's an uncommon gas.

I know of but one place in
Gotham where it'd be available.

The Ferguson Novelty
and Magician's Supply Company.

- That's it.
- Right and we've got to hurry.

If the maharajah
isn't recovered soon

it could make things very
difficult with this government.

In fact, I'm surprised
there hasn't been--

- Let's go--
- Wait.

We'll go.

But as Dick Grayson
and Bruce Wayne.

Why? Do you think..

That it's being used
as a front by The Joker?

Exactly!

Who does
this remind you of?

Careful, old chum.

Good afternoon.
May I help you?

Thank you.

We thought we might
find some amusing favors for

a small dinner party
this young man's giving.

To be sure.

How about these?

Very ingenious.

Oh, miss, what is a "One-way
glass reversing refractor?"

A prism, which placed flush
against any one-way glass

'will by refraction
enable one to look'

'through the one-way glass'

in the direction opposite to the
one for which it was designed.

You mean like
one-way mirrors and stuff.

'Yes.'

You can look through
from the wrong side.

That's right.

Gee, Bruce, this would be
keen for spies, wouldn't it?

Why don't you select
something you like?

And I'll just,
uh, browse around.

'Anything suspicious?'

No, just some squares.

Well, what are you looking at?

A big, fat bundle of ransom.

And I think
we've waited long enough.

'So, this is the photograph
we took from across the street.'

Now, judging from
the topography

the underground prison room

should be located
about here, under the hill.

Holy impregnability!
It's as good as a fort.

If the police
try to break in

The Joker would get
too much warning.

The maharajah could be injured.

So, we have to find
a way to get in secretly.

But how?

Fortunately, I got a glimpse

of a large square grill
in the back wall.

What do you think it is?

Unless I miss my guess, it's the
cover for a ventilating shaft

which comes out..

...right here, on top
of the hill straight above.

Holy camouflage!
What a way to get in.

If only we knew
where it was.

If my trigonometry is correct..

...and based on this photograph,
it should emerge..

...right here.

Gosh, Batman.

I'll never neglect
my math again.

Let's go.

'Batman, where are you?'

Shh! Shh!

If it's nearby
they could hear us down under.

I think I found it.

How far did you say
that room was underground?

About 50 feet.

Enough to give us
good momentum.

Oh, boy! I'll say.
Can I go first?

I wanna see their faces.

Dynamic seniority.

This could be
a mistake I suppose.

Well, look out below.

Don't anyone move!

You're all under arrest.

It's Batman!

Joker, where's the maharaja?

I told you he'd
find us, you clown.

What's the matter
with you, Batman?

I'm the funny man around here.

To arms, men!
Repel the invaders.

Alright, if that's
the way you want it.

Egads! The tide's
turning against us.

Let's scram, Joker.

Ooh! We'd better.

What happened?
Where'd they go?

Holy mole hill!
They went into the mountain.

'Fiends!'

Probably comes out
the hill's other side.

Where's the maharaja? I didn't
see him when we entered.

They probably
moved him before we came.

We'll make a thorough search.

I don't expect
to find anything.

Commissioner Gordon.

Oh, hello, Batman.

Yes, I've been
waiting for you to call.

I-I hope you have
good news for us.

I'm afraid not, commissioner.

We traced The Joker
here to his hideout

and surprised him but..

...he eluded us I'm afraid.

And the maharaja?

There was no sign of him.

If we don't find him soon, I
shall have to notify Washington.

Yes, I'm aware of that. Have you
heard about the ransom yet?

I don't know.

You might send the wagon
over here, there are..

...four of The Joker's
men to pick up.

We're at the Ferguson Magician's
and Novelty Supply.

Okay, I'll take care of that.

I'll notify the...wait a minute.

Commissioner, The Joker is
on the air on our band

he wants to speak to you.

Good. Bring him in.
Did you hear that?

- 'Yes.'
- Well, hang on and listen.

This is Commissioner Gordon's
office, go ahead, Joker.

'Good evening, commissioner.
Happy to find you in.'

'Uh, perhaps you
can do me a favor?'

I warn you, Joker,
if the maharajah is harmed

we'll hunt you down
if it takes a 100 years.

'By that time my jokes
would be stale'

'wouldn't they, commissioner?'

I haven't the time
for chitchat with your kind.

If you have
something to say, say it!

'Very well. I want to talk
to Batman, can you arrange it?'

- Did you hear that, Batman?
- 'Yes, I heard it.'

- Do you want to talk to him?
- By all means.

I just happen to be
in touch with Batman now

and we've set up
a relay in the office.

The next time you speak
he'll hear your voice

and you can hear his reply.

'What superb service.'

- 'Are you there, Batman?'
- I'm here.

'Well, the fun and games
are over, old fellow'

'and it's time
for the harvest, as it were.'

'I want to enlist your help
in the ransom arrangements.'

Never.

'Now, don't take
a stand until you've'

'heard everything, old boy.'

'I've a friend here,
who wants to talk to you.'

'This is Maharajah
of Nimpah speaking.'

Your Highness, are you alright?

'Quite alright, thank you.'

'And enjoying delightful
interval with bandit Joker.'

'But now,
time to return to business.'

'Would Batman please arrange to
cash a personal check tomorrow?'

Your check? What for?

'For ransom money. What else.'

You're gonna cash
the ransom check yourself?

For how much?

'Half million dollars. US.'

'How'd you intend
to pay it to The Joker?'

'That is already arranged.'

'between bandit Joker
and maharajah.'

'What is the matter?
Do you not approve?'

I certainly do not approve.

I'll have nothing to do with it.

You're free to do
as you wish of course but..

...leave me out of this.

'But unfortunate, not possible
to leave you out.'

'I will let
bandit Joker explain.'

'You see, that's part
of the price, Batman.'

'You make the arrangements.'

'You be present
when he cashes the check'

'and you endorse the check.'

'Otherwise, no maharajah.'

It's a rotten bargain, Joker.

But the maharajah's safety
counts above everything else.

You've won.

The Gotham City State Bank.

Main office,
tomorrow morning, ten o'clock.

Is it always darkest
just before the dawn?

Not when dawn,
that is to say, 10 a.m.

brings ruin and humiliation.

'Four hundred and fifty, four
hundred and sixty, seventy.'

'Four hundred and eighty.'

One half million dollars.

There he is, right on time.

This way, Your Highness.

I am Prescott Belmont,
Your Highness.

I don't believe you've met
Batman and his associate Robin.

How do you do? I want to thank
you for cooperating, Batman.

Now, you have the money?

Yes, it's all here.

Ah.

Good.

Pay to the order
of Batt...man..

One "T."

'Five hundred
thousand dollars..'

...and no cents.

Now, you will endorse.

It is a sad day for Batman.

Forced to use his name
for a criminal payoff.

Yes. I'm afraid this will
tarnish his image considerably.

Good. Now, I will
take the money.

Don't you want to count it?

Did you count it?

Why, yes, of course.

Why should we both count it?

Oh, well..

Your Highness, do you
actually intend to give

this fortune
to that criminal?

Even though you're free
and there's no necessity for it.

Last desperate effort.

Why not?

You see,
Joker is an honorable bandit.

We made a bargain.

He kept his side

now, Nimpahnese gentlemen
must keep my side.

Yes, I can see that
you'd want to keep your word

even to a lying criminal.

'But to me Joker did not lie.'

'You see, in my country a bandit
is an honorable profession.'

'And if people lie to bandits'

pretty soon bandit
will lie to people.

And everybody will
not believe the other

and they will
fight among themselves.

'And then, pretty soon
nobody will have anything.'

'Also in my country,
population is 80 perc..'

- Go!
- Oh, no you don't.

Batman, what are you doing?

It's The Joker.

'That it is.'

But where's the maharajah?

There isn't any.

There never was.

You mean,
it was The Joker all the time?

Right.

As you recall, you never
saw the two of 'em together.

Then, his goal was not only
a historic criminal coup

but your disgrace as well.

Not only that, my endorsement
on a worthless check

for half a million dollars.

But if you
hadn't thwarted him..

Oh, Batman, how did you ever
see through his devilish plot?

It wasn't difficult,
if you remember the key

to The Jokers twisted mind.

'He never means
what he seems to mean. '

Now, why didn't
we think of that?

Also, it seemed strange
that we'd heard no protest

from his government.

So, Batman called
the Palace of Nimpah.

The real maharajah..

'...is on a hunting trip
in the Nimpah mountains.'

You've done it again, Batman.

Egads!

I'm deflated.

A fitting end for you, Joker.

Like the rest
of your criminal ilk

'you were never anything'

but a threatening bag
of hot air.

Chief O'Hara, call your men.

Cart this human trash away.

Right.

An hour or so later
at stately Wayne Manor

where everything is
now tranquil and serene

or is it?

Are you sure
you want him, sir?

I got the impression that
he had just satisfactorily

concluded the, uh, do.

But I must speak
to him immediately, please.

If you insist, sir.

No, Dick. You'll get as fat
as the Maharajah of Nimpah.

Who, Aunt Harriet?

The Maharajah of Nimpah.

I just saw his picture
in the Gotham City Herald.

He was on
a tiger hunting expedition

and you never saw anybody
so fat in your whole life.

Mercy alive, with all his money
you'd think he could afford

to see a doctor about a diet.

It's the Bat-phone, sir.

Now?

That reminds me, Dick, I have
a new volume on tiger hunting.

It's in the study,
I've wanted to show it to you.

Holy Encore, you mean..

Gosh, Bruce, I'm real
interested in tiger hunting.

Excuse us, Aunt Harriet.

Tea, madam?

Oh, yes, Alfred.

Yes, commissioner.

Shocking news, Batman.

What could it be?

I've heard
a most alarming rumor.

That you've been asked to go to
California and run for governor.

Calm your fears, commissioner.

The rumor is unfounded.

As long as there's a criminal
at large in Gotham City

wild horses
couldn't drag me away.

Oh, thank heavens, Batman.

Saints be praised.

Goodbye, commissioner.

Holy golden gate!
