1
00:00:20,135 --> 00:00:22,036
<i>Previously on Beware the Batman...</i>

2
00:00:22,038 --> 00:00:23,637
The A.R.G.U.S. club again.

3
00:00:23,639 --> 00:00:25,721
How many membership
offers have I turned down?

4
00:00:25,756 --> 00:00:27,861
You? You're alive?

5
00:00:28,477 --> 00:00:30,945
The Soultaker sword.

6
00:00:30,947 --> 00:00:33,781
<i>Did you discover any more
surprises at Wayne manor?</i>

7
00:00:33,783 --> 00:00:34,849
Nothing of value.

8
00:01:42,350 --> 00:01:44,852
Yield now, and I will
grant you both quick deaths.

9
00:01:45,687 --> 00:01:48,354
- Pass.
- What he said.

10
00:02:05,664 --> 00:02:07,965
How is it possible that Bruce Wayne

11
00:02:07,967 --> 00:02:10,301
has never set foot inside
the A.R.G.U.S. club?

12
00:02:10,303 --> 00:02:12,703
It's not due to a lack
of effort on their part.

13
00:02:12,705 --> 00:02:15,473
I get more mail from them than
I do from credit card companies,

14
00:02:15,475 --> 00:02:17,208
and it all goes in the shredder.

15
00:02:17,210 --> 00:02:19,376
- Why?
- Not interested.

16
00:02:19,378 --> 00:02:22,480
If I want to unwind,
I'll get out of Gotham.

17
00:02:22,482 --> 00:02:25,282
The A.R.G.U.S. club is
getting out of Gotham.

18
00:02:25,284 --> 00:02:27,318
And the best part is you don't
have to leave Gotham to get there.

19
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,286
That's why I love it.

20
00:02:29,288 --> 00:02:31,021
You know what?
You're coming as my guest.

21
00:02:31,023 --> 00:02:35,893
- Next week, no excuses.
- Let's go to Bora-Bora instead.

22
00:02:35,895 --> 00:02:38,963
Bora-Bora?
That's a pretty serious trip

23
00:02:38,965 --> 00:02:41,999
for a guy who's not known for
getting serious, Mr. Wayne.

24
00:02:42,001 --> 00:02:45,851
Well, maybe I'm more serious
than you think, Ms. Ravencroft.

25
00:02:54,546 --> 00:02:56,213
<i>I warned you not to mess with me.</i>

26
00:02:57,716 --> 00:03:01,519
<i>But you zombies never listen!</i>

27
00:03:01,521 --> 00:03:04,054
Aw, come on! Those goons
never even touched me.

28
00:03:04,056 --> 00:03:05,356
This game is rigged.

29
00:03:05,358 --> 00:03:07,051
Hello, Katana.

30
00:03:22,707 --> 00:03:26,677
I'm not here to fight.
All I want is the sword.

31
00:03:26,679 --> 00:03:29,063
Then you're gonna be disappointed.

32
00:03:40,292 --> 00:03:42,392
Bring the sword to me,

33
00:03:42,727 --> 00:03:44,495
or there will be consequences.

34
00:04:12,891 --> 00:04:14,740
We need to talk.

35
00:04:17,395 --> 00:04:20,464
If you're here to apologize
about the limo again, don't worry.

36
00:04:20,466 --> 00:04:23,000
The damage those vandals did
when you went to grab a bite

37
00:04:23,002 --> 00:04:25,809
is completely covered by
insurance, no harm done.

38
00:04:26,237 --> 00:04:28,772
It wasn't vandals, Mr. Wayne.

39
00:04:28,774 --> 00:04:31,942
It was a member of the League
of Assassins named Silver Monkey.

40
00:04:31,944 --> 00:04:35,646
- What's going on, Alfred?
- Just listen, Bruce.

41
00:04:36,648 --> 00:04:38,849
About a year ago, I infiltrated
the League of Assassins

42
00:04:38,851 --> 00:04:42,687
as a CIA operative.
While I was inside I discovered

43
00:04:42,688 --> 00:04:45,022
something of immeasurable
value to the League.

44
00:04:45,790 --> 00:04:47,944
The Soultaker sword.

45
00:04:48,193 --> 00:04:50,361
I saw this sword in action.

46
00:04:50,363 --> 00:04:53,864
It drains souls from helpless targets.

47
00:04:53,866 --> 00:04:56,184
It was clearly an
abomination too dangerous to

48
00:04:56,185 --> 00:04:58,502
leave in the hands of the
League or the government.

49
00:04:58,504 --> 00:05:01,639
So I faked my own death
and the sword's destruction

50
00:05:01,641 --> 00:05:03,874
to slip away undetected.

51
00:05:03,876 --> 00:05:05,309
I've been lying low with
the sword ever since,

52
00:05:05,311 --> 00:05:07,929
trying to figure out
my next move, but Silver Monkey

53
00:05:07,930 --> 00:05:10,547
saw the sword when
he broke into the manor,

54
00:05:10,549 --> 00:05:13,018
and now he wants it for himself.

55
00:05:13,485 --> 00:05:15,923
Why am I just hearing about this now?

56
00:05:15,987 --> 00:05:17,955
It's not her fault, Bruce.

57
00:05:17,957 --> 00:05:20,524
Tatsu confided in me after
she began working here.

58
00:05:20,526 --> 00:05:23,227
I kept it from you to protect her.

59
00:05:23,229 --> 00:05:27,104
She was just doing what she thought
was right, but I betrayed your trust.

60
00:05:27,139 --> 00:05:31,201
- And?
- And...

61
00:05:31,203 --> 00:05:35,496
I think the only appropriate solution
is for me to tender my resignation.

62
00:05:36,686 --> 00:05:37,408
Accepted.

63
00:05:39,678 --> 00:05:42,406
What?
No, you can't do that!

64
00:05:43,181 --> 00:05:46,542
<i>I accept your resignation
as well, Ms. Yamashiro.</i>

65
00:05:48,053 --> 00:05:50,587
And since I can no longer
trust either of you,

66
00:05:50,589 --> 00:05:53,498
both of you will be gone
by the time I get back.

67
00:06:02,033 --> 00:06:04,496
It's okay, you don't
have to tell me anything.

68
00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:07,171
I don't have to know what happened

69
00:06:07,173 --> 00:06:09,840
to know you feel betrayed
by those you trusted most.

70
00:06:09,842 --> 00:06:12,009
Trust is overrated.

71
00:06:12,011 --> 00:06:14,611
I think I'm gonna give
it a rest for a while.

72
00:06:14,613 --> 00:06:18,433
Good idea. If you and I start trusting
each other, we might get serious.

73
00:06:19,050 --> 00:06:20,732
Point taken, Doc.

74
00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:25,518
Let's get out of here. I know a
place where trust isn't an issue.

75
00:06:25,553 --> 00:06:29,126
Let me guess.
The A.R.G.U.S. club.

76
00:06:29,128 --> 00:06:33,030
Give it a chance, Bruce.
They've been like family to me.

77
00:06:33,032 --> 00:06:35,552
They can be the same
to you if you let them.

78
00:06:35,587 --> 00:06:37,890
I'm in your hands.

79
00:06:50,949 --> 00:06:52,816
Neat trick.

80
00:06:52,818 --> 00:06:55,119
That's nothing. You're
about to be blown away.

81
00:06:55,121 --> 00:06:56,120
Trust me.

82
00:06:59,724 --> 00:07:03,815
- They have electricity, right?
- They have everything.

83
00:07:12,937 --> 00:07:17,312
The A.R.G.U.S. club ritual room.
So much history here.

84
00:07:19,611 --> 00:07:21,319
<i>Leaders made.</i>

85
00:07:21,946 --> 00:07:24,083
<i>Nations born.</i>

86
00:07:25,350 --> 00:07:28,065
Wars begun and ended.

87
00:07:31,089 --> 00:07:33,957
And enemies revealed.

88
00:07:36,661 --> 00:07:41,030
<i>You were right, Bruce.
Trust is overrated.</i>

89
00:08:10,462 --> 00:08:12,330
<i>I have Wayne.</i>

90
00:08:12,332 --> 00:08:15,149
<i>Bring the sword to the
A.R.G.U.S. club in one hour.</i>

91
00:08:28,414 --> 00:08:30,148
I have a question.

92
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:32,083
Does the A.R.G.U.S. club
control the League of Assassins,

93
00:08:32,085 --> 00:08:33,852
or is it the other way around?

94
00:08:33,854 --> 00:08:37,535
Keep asking questions. Maybe
one of them will be your last.

95
00:08:38,925 --> 00:08:41,226
You know, I've always
argued that no one needs

96
00:08:41,227 --> 00:08:44,585
therapy more than therapists,
and now you're proving my theory.

97
00:08:44,620 --> 00:08:46,598
A keen insight.

98
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,434
It's a shame you have no one
in your life to appreciate it.

99
00:08:49,436 --> 00:08:52,203
Said the shrink with the
crossbow and the ninja boyfriend.

100
00:08:52,205 --> 00:08:54,372
I mean, you and the monkey
guy are together, right?

101
00:08:54,374 --> 00:08:58,493
If you don't keep your mouth shut,
I will shut it for you.

102
00:08:59,378 --> 00:09:02,107
Just making conversation.

103
00:09:17,062 --> 00:09:20,565
<i>You brought the sword.
A wise choice.</i>

104
00:09:20,567 --> 00:09:22,700
<i>Now, give it to me.</i>

105
00:09:22,702 --> 00:09:26,938
- Release Wayne.
- You are in no position to negotiate.

106
00:09:31,477 --> 00:09:35,180
No? Maybe I should take
that up with Lady Shiva.

107
00:09:35,281 --> 00:09:37,615
<i>You will find Lady Shiva</i>

108
00:09:37,617 --> 00:09:41,411
<i>far less forgiving of your
transgressions than I am.</i>

109
00:09:41,446 --> 00:09:43,428
Now, the sword.

110
00:09:43,463 --> 00:09:46,958
You want it?
Come and get it.

111
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,993
<i>Something just occurred to me.</i>

112
00:09:48,995 --> 00:09:50,361
You know what we all have in common?

113
00:09:51,297 --> 00:09:53,564
Nothing.

114
00:09:53,566 --> 00:09:57,025
<i>This little standoff has
nothing to do with me.</i>

115
00:09:58,771 --> 00:10:00,916
You're right, Mr. Wayne.

116
00:10:13,252 --> 00:10:15,838
<i>You were both dead the
moment you entered this room.</i>

117
00:10:26,765 --> 00:10:29,612
They won't stop me.
Nothing will.

118
00:10:30,169 --> 00:10:32,301
That remains to be seen.

119
00:10:37,109 --> 00:10:40,830
- Is that all you've got?
- Not even close.

120
00:10:53,392 --> 00:10:57,182
This wasn't the plan.
You said Wayne wouldn't have to die.

121
00:10:58,630 --> 00:11:02,079
If you miss him, you may join him.

122
00:11:19,485 --> 00:11:22,158
One of these days
your luck will run out.

123
00:11:23,822 --> 00:11:26,068
<i>Just hope you're not there when it does.</i>

124
00:11:26,103 --> 00:11:28,445
Oh, I do, every day.

125
00:11:30,362 --> 00:11:32,821
Hey, didn't I fire you?

126
00:11:36,368 --> 00:11:38,818
I brought the things you requested.

127
00:11:40,072 --> 00:11:42,490
She could probably use a hand in there.

128
00:11:56,855 --> 00:11:58,890
Need a hand?

129
00:11:58,892 --> 00:12:02,222
Help yourself to the ninjas.
Silver Monkey's mine.

130
00:12:24,283 --> 00:12:27,668
Yield now, and I will
grant you both quick deaths.

131
00:12:27,703 --> 00:12:30,189
- Pass.
- What he said.

132
00:12:56,582 --> 00:13:00,468
You will now learn the true
power of the Soultaker sword

133
00:13:00,469 --> 00:13:05,056
<i>and why you should have chosen quick
deaths when you had the chance.</i>

134
00:13:11,497 --> 00:13:14,799
<i>The Soultaker sword is no mere weapon.</i>

135
00:13:14,801 --> 00:13:18,970
It has been a vessel of power
for more than 1,000 years

136
00:13:18,972 --> 00:13:22,707
and it has hosted the souls of
conquerors and conquered alike.

137
00:13:22,709 --> 00:13:25,610
Just as it will host yours.

138
00:13:25,612 --> 00:13:28,269
And yours when the sword
is turned against you.

139
00:13:28,304 --> 00:13:30,319
By Lady Shiva.

140
00:13:30,549 --> 00:13:33,172
Is she right?
What about Lady Shiva?

141
00:13:33,986 --> 00:13:38,336
I have the sword.
Lady Shiva is no longer a concern.

142
00:13:39,325 --> 00:13:41,391
<i>How strange.</i>

143
00:13:44,697 --> 00:13:48,138
I was just thinking the same
thing about you, Silver Monkey.

144
00:13:48,968 --> 00:13:51,536
<i>While you may possess
the unique skill set</i>

145
00:13:51,538 --> 00:13:54,873
<i>necessary to lead the
League of Assassins,</i>

146
00:13:54,875 --> 00:13:58,209
<i>your bid to displace me
was always doomed</i>

147
00:13:58,211 --> 00:14:02,580
<i>because of two simple,
unavoidable truths.</i>

148
00:14:02,582 --> 00:14:05,984
<i>Nothing happens in the League
without me knowing about it,</i>

149
00:14:05,986 --> 00:14:10,119
and you are not me.

150
00:14:11,357 --> 00:14:12,790
Seize her.

151
00:14:15,895 --> 00:14:18,496
Seize Lady Shiva now!

152
00:14:18,498 --> 00:14:23,083
I'm afraid they fear me more
than they fear you, old friend.

153
00:15:14,921 --> 00:15:19,591
Oh, the flower you picked has
lovely petals, Silver Monkey.

154
00:15:19,593 --> 00:15:23,215
I wonder if the same
is true of her soul.

155
00:15:25,464 --> 00:15:29,167
Please, Lady Shiva.
I never meant to betray you!

156
00:15:29,169 --> 00:15:31,875
- It was Silver Monkey who...
- Shh, shh.

157
00:15:32,271 --> 00:15:35,292
Quiet now, my lotus blossom.

158
00:15:49,855 --> 00:15:51,156
What are you doing?

159
00:15:51,158 --> 00:15:53,384
No! Don't!

160
00:16:06,272 --> 00:16:09,325
Don't worry, my friends,
she's not dead.

161
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,237
Not yet.

162
00:16:11,550 --> 00:16:16,334
As for you, Silver Monkey, you won't
be joining your flower in the sword.

163
00:16:17,016 --> 00:16:20,685
My plans for you are
far more interesting

164
00:16:20,687 --> 00:16:23,332
and painful.

165
00:16:26,192 --> 00:16:28,893
I'm actually quite
grateful to Silver Monkey.

166
00:16:28,895 --> 00:16:32,014
Yes, he betrayed me, but he also subdued

167
00:16:32,015 --> 00:16:35,133
two of my most troublesome adversaries.

168
00:16:35,135 --> 00:16:39,951
This is a most welcome windfall for me
and for the sword.

169
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,968
- You forgot one thing.
- Did I? And what is that?

170
00:16:46,478 --> 00:16:49,215
- The rocket.
- What rocket?

171
00:16:57,656 --> 00:16:59,395
That rocket.

172
00:17:08,901 --> 00:17:13,201
- Glove saws?
- Acid capsules. But good idea.

173
00:17:14,173 --> 00:17:16,003
<i>There is no escape.</i>

174
00:17:17,843 --> 00:17:20,775
We're not going anywhere,
and neither are you.

175
00:17:22,047 --> 00:17:23,974
What he said.

176
00:18:01,153 --> 00:18:03,588
A promising start.

177
00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:08,794
I sincerely hope you survive
so we can finish this properly.

178
00:18:32,151 --> 00:18:35,704
Farewell for now or forever.

179
00:18:38,157 --> 00:18:41,344
- We have to stop her.
- We have to go.

180
00:19:14,226 --> 00:19:16,353
You're not going to tell
me where we're going?

181
00:19:18,063 --> 00:19:21,699
- And you're holding me against my will.
- If you want out, just say so.

182
00:19:45,924 --> 00:19:46,824
Now what?

183
00:19:51,263 --> 00:19:53,840
I'm aware of your history
with the League of Assassins.

184
00:19:54,733 --> 00:19:56,901
<i>The fire you staged in Tsuruta</i>

185
00:19:56,903 --> 00:19:58,536
<i>to convince the League you were dead,</i>

186
00:19:58,538 --> 00:20:00,371
<i>so you could escape
with the Soultaker sword.</i>

187
00:20:00,373 --> 00:20:02,340
<i>That was quality work.</i>

188
00:20:02,342 --> 00:20:05,777
Thank you, but I don't
need your approval.

189
00:20:05,779 --> 00:20:08,146
I knew you smuggled the sword
into Gotham on a cargo freighter.

190
00:20:10,650 --> 00:20:14,919
And I knew Bethanie Ravencroft
was conspiring with Silver Monkey.

191
00:20:14,921 --> 00:20:18,289
They intended to leverage Bruce Wayne
for the sword right from the start.

192
00:20:18,291 --> 00:20:21,101
If you knew all that, why
didn't you do something about it?

193
00:20:21,157 --> 00:20:24,362
I did. I used you to turn the
League of Assassins against itself,

194
00:20:24,364 --> 00:20:26,130
and it worked.

195
00:20:26,132 --> 00:20:28,693
It worked?
Bruce Wayne is dead,

196
00:20:29,301 --> 00:20:31,402
<i>Bethanie Ravencroft is an empty shell,</i>

197
00:20:31,404 --> 00:20:33,938
<i>and Lady Shiva has the Soultaker sword.</i>

198
00:20:33,940 --> 00:20:36,040
Your hands are as dirty as the League's.

199
00:20:36,042 --> 00:20:40,078
- It didn't work perfectly.
- You're even crazier than I thought.

200
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,749
Good luck with that. If we meet
again, it won't be as friends.

201
00:20:44,751 --> 00:20:47,670
Before you go, I need
to show you something.

202
00:20:47,820 --> 00:20:49,801
I've seen enough.

203
00:20:51,657 --> 00:20:53,856
<i>Bruce Wayne isn't dead.</i>

204
00:20:55,128 --> 00:20:57,587
I'm just fine.

205
00:20:57,656 --> 00:21:01,382
I regret what happened to Bethanie,
regardless of her intentions.

206
00:21:01,615 --> 00:21:06,737
As for the Soultaker sword, we're
going to get it back... together.

207
00:21:06,739 --> 00:21:08,833
<i>Tonight was your final test.</i>

208
00:21:11,110 --> 00:21:12,743
And you aced it.

209
00:21:16,682 --> 00:21:19,196
Welcome to the family.
