The Batman (2004) s01e06 Episode Script

The Cat and the Bat

Our top story: One of Gotham's wealthiest recent transplants businessman Hideo Katsu, received a rude welcome last night.
Robinson Sprang has details.
The same Hideo Katsu the Batman has been observing of late? The same one I've been investigating without success, so far.
Katsu's extensive collection of antiques remained intact but, curiously, security cameras captured an image of what appeared to be a costumed cat-woman.
- What? -Joining me now is Gotham P.
D.
's Ellen Yin.
Detective, could there be some connection ---between this Catwoman and the Batman? While there seem to be similarities in appearance and methodology they have entirely different motives.
However, it's too early to rule out any possible links between the cat and the bat.
This'll improve my relations with the police.
I am most displeased.
The sanctuary of my Murakami lion has been compromised.
Find this Catwoman.
I want her head.
- Hello, Fred.
-Good afternoon, Miss Kyle.
I missed you too, sweeties.
Mama had to go shopping so she could feel better after last night's disappointment.
You should have seen the prey.
A big, shiny pussycat.
Missed it by a whisker.
At least my adrenaline rushed.
“Batman and Catwoman Connected?“ He looks tall, dark and handsome.
Consider Selina Kyle curious.
All units, disturbance at 121 Simonson.
Well, this is it.
- So where - Hello, good-looking.
Nice cowl.
Really sets off your chin.
I take it you tripped the silent alarm.
Only way I knew to get you to come out and play.
Well, are you coming down, or do I have to come up? Catch me if you can.
You can stop playing hard to get.
And give up the thrill of the chase? Hate to cut our first date short, cutie.
But I like to leave a man wanting more.
Cute toy, Bat-beau.
But comer a cat, get scratched.
Another cat fact: We always land on our feet.
I think I'll take something to remember you by.
No way.
My utility belt.
I know, Delilah, but I didn't take it for its looks.
I took it for the tools.
Let's see.
This'll come in handy when I'm on the prowl.
Got a little security 'feature, do you? You have found nothing on this Catwoman? We must increase security in the event she is foolish enough to return.
Call for the Dragon's Fangs.
She wasn't supposed to be able to do that.
The belt's lock mechanism must have been damaged in the fall.
This feline fatale is certainly proving to be a sly one.
Need to track that cat before she puts my utility belt to no-good use.
Goody.
Alfred! Shut down the auxiliary Batwave transmitter.
I believe this was the auxiliary transmitter, sir.
Come on.
Start up.
Okay, so, what does this do? Abracadabra.
Quick.
Disconnect the Batwave receivers frorn all the gear before she- I don't believe this.
What good is this thing, anyway? Scaredy-cats.
Can't wait to beta test.
And I know just the place.
Enjoy your drive, sir? It had its twists and turns.
- Are these all the Batwave receivers? - Quite.
Thanks, Alfred.
If Catwoman were somehow, someway, able to trace the signals back here-- We would have to rename it the Catcave.
- An active Batwave? - I was certain I'd disconnected - all the receivers.
- She took my remote-control Batarang.
Maybe there's a way to trace the signal back to it and Catwoman.
The cat returns to Katsu.
How poetic.
Almost a haiku.
I'll be sure to jot it down as soon as I get home.
I must insist you stay.
Then I must insist you eat steel.
A dragon has many fangs.
If you inform rne which family sent you to steal my lion I promise to make your comeuppance less excruciating.
Family? As in organized crime? Yakuza.
Keep it.
It is said cats have nine lives.
Destroy her 10 times over! Better be some truth to that nine-lives thing.
I should warn you fellas: Comer a cat, get scratched.
Good-looking and good timing.
Yes.
You have something of mine.
- She pilfered from you as well.
-Take it.
Clashed with my boots, anyway.
Now, stand aside so we may complete our business with her.
The lady leaves with me.
Then neither of you leaves.
Attack! Shall we, handsome? There is no “we.
“ That's not what they think.
Alley-oop.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
Think I blore it.
What? A minidisc? Pretty important, I bet.
Catwoman, that's our cue to-- Too bad about the statue.
Win some, lose some.
Just glad you and I got to dance.
We have so much in common.
Less than you think.
That's not what they think.
What? You got your belt.
Most of it.
You sure know how to spoil a girl.
A minidisc found at the scene revealed a chart of Japanese organized crime ---naming names, with Katsu at the top of a yakuza family.
"intent on expanding into Gotham.
Detective, do you have a statement? Rest assured, Gotham P.
D.
is arresting the other yakuza members as we speak.
So would you say the idea of a Batman-Catwoman link wasn't so far-fetched after all? Yes, it's clear now that they worked together to take down Katsu as a vigilante team.
Not quite what I had in mind when I encouraged you to meet women who share your interests, Master Bruce.
But it's a start.
