(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(HELICoPTER HoVERING)

We're almost there, Conway.

Just keep your eyes open.

Something could still happen.

Spider Conway.

Don't know what he's worrying about.

He's only got the sweetest deal oF the century.

All he's gotta do is make like a canary at the crime-commission hearings

and he gets 10 years off his time.

lt ain't him getting to the hearings that's got him spooked, commish.

lt's somebody else getting to him be Fore then.

-(CLOCK TICKING) -(cAsps)

There's a bomb on the boat!

(GASPS)

POLICE OFFICER: Abandon ship!

(BINoCULAR CLICKING)

Remind me never to think of you as a good-luck charm.

OFFICER 1 : Help! (COUGHING) OFFICER 2: Over here! Help me!

(oFFICERS CoUGHING)

GORDON: Carver, l want Dock Street cordoned off

three blocks in both directions. Move it.

Hardesty, call Forensics.

No sign of Conway anywhere, detective.

Start dragging the bay.

Taking me off the case?

What kind of shuck and jive is this, Jim?

You know what l had to go through just to get Conway out of Stonegate.

But it's worth it if his testimony can take down Rupert Thorne.

Which is why Thorne looks good for the bombing.

But if l let you go after Thorne,

a lot of ugly ancient history is bound to come up.

(THUNDER CRASHES)

l gotta relieve you, Harv, you know that.

Unless, you want Internal Affairs all over you like a bad rash.

(SCoFFS)

Ancient history.

Yeah, right!

BRUCE: A real page-turner, isn't it?

lndeed.

Bullock was suspected of accepting graft from Thorne

two years ago?

Right, but the case was dropped for lack of evidence.

lt was just be Fore Spider Conway went to prison.

And at the time of his arrest,

Conway was working For Thorne.

So, he might know something that Bullock doesn't want revealed.

Surely you can't think this Bullock person planted that bomb.

l'm not sure yet what to think.

After the explosion, l went out to Stonegate Island,

to check out the dock the boat left from.

l found this.

A toothpick?

(GRoANS)

Where in the world...

Hey! Anybody here? (ECHOlNG)

No!

Not you!

lt can't be!

Stay back!

(SCREAMS)

(HUMMING SoFTLY)

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

(GLASS BREAKING)

(GASPS)

(THUNDER CRASHES)

You'd better have the money to pay For that.

(PoT BREAKING)

Here's how it works, slimeball.

l have questions and if you have answers,

l'll leave you alone.

Oh, l got plenty of answers.

-(GUNS CoCKING) -.38-caliber answers.

(LAUGHS SMUGLY)

Now, then, you were saying?

l was saying,

you'd better hope your men are very good shots.

lt's too hot in here.

Let's get some air.

(EXCLAIMS)

(SCREAMS)

(SCREAMING)

Wait! Stop!

l'll tell you anything you want.

Did you order Spider Conway blown up?

(LAUGHS) That loser?

l wouldn't wipe my shoes on him.

Conway's got nothing on me.

Let him talk.

He could've talked his head off.

No problem.

BATMAN: Okay.

(SCREAMS)

Don't iust stand there, you clowns.

Get me down!

No trace of Conway yet, commissioner.

Well, keep at it.

l'll meet you back at headquarters.

(GASPS)

l've had cats that made more noise than you.

We need to talk about Bullock.

l think he might have been responsible for the bomb.

Come on.

You know there was evidence that Conway falsely implicated Bullock

at the graft inquest.

But you have no proof Conway lied.

Look, Harvey Bullock is hard to work with,

even harder to like.

But he's a good cop, Batman.

He's clean.

MONTOYA: Commissioner?

-Something? -Not a trace.

All right.

Pull them back in.

We'll have to assume the worst.

Batman?

For once, my friend,

l hope your instincts are wrong.

-(GASPS) -Joey the Snail,

brought in last night on a 605, right?

Let me see him.

Bullock, that you?

Yeah. Now, let me see him.

l need to check your authorization.

(GRoANS)

Rise and shine, Joey.

(SHUDDERS) Who's there?

Your worst nightmare.

No! Keep away from me!

(CELL DooR oPENS)

(BoDY THUDS)

-(POLICE SIRENS WAILING) -(BRAKEs scREEcHINc)

-(CAR DOOR OPENS) -(cAmERA sHunER cLIcKs)

(SIGHS)

ALFRED: Master Bruce?

Still intent on that scale, or what-have-you, l see.

Believe it or not,

the cellular structure is human,

but the texture of it is almost...

Reptilian.

Hmm. Do tell.

Bullock might not be the primary suspect after all.

ln any event, l've made your favorite,

French onion soup.

And, when you let it get cold this time,

note that it's in a microwavable crock.

Crock?

Alfred, you're beautiful!

lmagine if l'd gotten around to telling him about the salad.

TOUR GUIDE: _nd, as you can see by this re-creation of

the crocodile's natura( habitat,

crocodiles make their lairs in underwater caves.

Of course!

Batman!

Get us out of here!

(SHUSHING)

No telling what he'll do.

Terrific. Just what l need now.

The freak job in the cape.

You're no prize yourself.

(GRoWLING)

What can l tell you?

Being a reptile man ain't pretty,

but it's got its upside.

Like having the strength of a crocodile, For instance.

But l guess you've Iearned that by now, huh?

The hard way.

You know, they used to call ''Killer Croc,''

the meanest dude in the Wrestling Federation.

Now, they'll call him the guy who iced the Batman.

(GRUNTING)

Don't hold your breath.

(GRoWLING)

(GRUNTS)

You've been rooted to that spot for over an hour, Master Bruce.

lt's taken me that long to search through all these newspapers

on microfiche.

Here.

from the Miami T�mes Herald, four years ago.

See?

He started out a carnival sideshow attraction,

then became a pro-wrestler.

Two years later, Croc had moved to Gotham City

and turned to crime.

He used to be strictly penny-ante.

Until now, l'd never heard of him.

But, according to this, Bullock busted him

based on the testimony from Conway and Joey the Snail.

Then Croc has escaped.

And now, it's payback time.

You have Conway and the Snail.

They can clear Detective Bullock.

True, but that won't get us Croc.

He won't return to his lair, now that l know where it is.

l'll have to make him come to us.

(REPoRTERS CLAMoRING)

(ENGINE STARTING)

-Drive! -Croc!

-How did you... -Escape? Simple.

The guards don't think about the sewers.

No one does, except me.

lt was you who set me up For Spider and Joey.

You got it.

l wanted you to sweat it out in a cell for a while, like l did.

To know what it feels like, the way l do.

Huh? You?

-(TIRES SCREECHING) -(TRucK HoRN BLARINc)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTING)

(GRoANING)

Give it up, Croc.

l know everything now.

You planted that toothpick on the dock, didn't you?

And you impersonated Bullock at the jail.

KILLER CROC: Yeah,

and it would've gone down smooth if you hadn't butted in.

But, hey, l'm adaptable.

When you grow up looking like l do,

you gotta learn to go with the flow.

l'll just take care of you first,

then Bullock.

(GRUNTS)

See, this ain't no Batcave.

You're on my turf now.

(KILLER CRoC GRUNTING)

(GRoANS)

(GRoANS)

(GRoWLS)

(GASPS)

(STRAINING)

Croc!

Huh?

(GRUNTS)

Why?

Why'd you stick your neck out like that to help me?

Because l thought you were guilty too

and l was wrong.

We may have different ways of enforcing the law,

but we both believe in it.

Eh. Go on. l'll take it from here.

Not a bad piece oFwork.

Tell me, Detective Bullock,

how does it Feel to be formally cleared of all charges,

now that Killer Croc, Morgan, has been arrested?

l just want all the scumbuckets and dirtbags in this town

to know they'd better lay low,

beeause Bulloek's back and ready to kick butt!
