1. Ladies and gentlemen,
it's time for magic.
Copy !req
2. Good evening, Gotham. I'm Zatanna.
Copy !req
3. Tonight, I can promise you
a few surprises.
Copy !req
4. —A thrill or two along the way.
—
Copy !req
5. And with luck, a happy ending.
Copy !req
6. How long has it been”? Ten years, 127
Copy !req
7. All that and another lifetime.
Copy !req
8. She and her father
were very fond of you.
Copy !req
9. I was a different person then.
Copy !req
10. Yes. Intense, driven, moody.
Copy !req
11. She'd never recognize you now.
Copy !req
12. Now open your heart to magic,
and become a child again.
Copy !req
13. Remember,
concentration and control.
Copy !req
14. Focus on them,
and you can master any escape.
Copy !req
15. Go.
Copy !req
16. Congratulations. You've beaten
your old time by six seconds.
Copy !req
17. Yes!
Copy !req
18. You've got the makings
of a great magician.
Copy !req
19. I'm sorry you're going to be moving on.
Copy !req
20. Same here. It was an honor
to study with you, Zatara.
Copy !req
21. But to what end?
Copy !req
22. Three months ago you appeared
on my doorstep
Copy !req
23. with no interest in performing,
Copy !req
24. and yet dying to become
an escape artist.
Copy !req
25. And for some reason,
I wound up teaching you secrets
Copy !req
26. I'd never shown another magician.
Copy !req
27. You could've sent me away.
Copy !req
28. No. There was something
inside you I had no right to deny.
Copy !req
29. Something deep and painful.
Copy !req
30. After all, I would be foolish to assume
I was the only one with secrets.
Copy !req
31. Eh, John Smith?
Copy !req
32. Thanks for everything, sir.
Copy !req
33. I'll miss you, John.
Copy !req
34. And so, I trust, will Zatanna.
Copy !req
35. Oh! Hi, Daddy.
Copy !req
36. Good night, children.
Copy !req
37. I thought you'd be finishing
the tour with us.
Copy !req
38. I'm leaving for Japan tomorrow.
There's still a lot I have to learn.
Copy !req
39. Boy, that's you.
One big serious schoolboy.
Copy !req
40. No time in your life for fun or magic.
Copy !req
41. Here, pick a card.
I'll tell your future.
Copy !req
42. Hmm. I see emotion, intensity...
Copy !req
43. Two of hearts.
Copy !req
44. Joker.
Copy !req
45. Oh, it's a dumb trick anyway.
Copy !req
46. Look, I don't know the future,
Copy !req
47. but I know I'll see you again
someday, Zanna.
Copy !req
48. You're the only one who
ever calls me Zanna.
Copy !req
49. I really hate it.
Copy !req
50. No goodbye hug?
Copy !req
51. See? It's not so bad.
Copy !req
52. —I'll write you.
—No, you won't.
Copy !req
53. - I promise.
- You can't.
Copy !req
54. I locked your hands
to the wall.
Copy !req
55. What?
Copy !req
56. Looks like someone's missing
their plane tomorrow.
Copy !req
57. But hey,
if you were any kind of escape artist
Copy !req
58. you'd be out of those cuffs
and through the door by now.
Copy !req
59. Now you see him, now you don't.
Copy !req
60. Thank you. You know, I have this
little problem with money.
Copy !req
61. Seems like it disappears
before I even make it.
Copy !req
62. And here to help me demonstrate
are Mr. Irving Fauncewater,
Copy !req
63. director of the Gotham Mint,
and noted magic debunker
Copy !req
64. Dr. Montague Kane.
Copy !req
65. Welcome, gentlemen.
Copy !req
66. Miss Zatanna.
Copy !req
67. This is so exciting.
Copy !req
68. —
—Oh!
Copy !req
69. Let me guess, first time on stage, Irv?
Nothing like enthusiasm, right, folks?
Copy !req
70. The way they're responding,
one would think
Copy !req
71. your ridiculous stunt was going to work.
Copy !req
72. Just to clue you in, Monty here makes
a living exposing magicians' secrets.
Copy !req
73. Simple tricks and nonsense.
Copy !req
74. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
75. And I've invited him here
Copy !req
76. to find the secret of the feat
I'm attempting tonight.
Copy !req
77. There is no secret. What you're
proposing is flat—out impossible.
Copy !req
78. Well, kids,
impossible is what I'm all about.
Copy !req
79. Mr. Fauncewater, open the doors, please.
Copy !req
80. —$10 million and the means to make it.
—
Copy !req
81. Take a good look, folks, 'cause you
know what they say about money.
Copy !req
82. "Easy come,
Copy !req
83. "easy go!”
Copy !req
84. Oh, my!
Copy !req
85. Bravo, my dear.
Copy !req
86. It was a pleasure to be proven wrong.
Copy !req
87. Thank you, Monty.
Copy !req
88. And now, just so Irv doesn't have a fit,
I'll bring it back good as new.
Copy !req
89. Arba decarba!
Copy !req
90. The money. Where's the money?
Copy !req
91. "Where's the money," he says.
Copy !req
92. It's right there, isn't it?
Copy !req
93. It's gone! What have you done with it?
Copy !req
94. Now, take it easy, Irv. I'm sure there's
a perfectly logical explanation.
Copy !req
95. And I'm sure the audience
would like to hear it.
Copy !req
96. —As would the police.
—Now, wait a minute.
Copy !req
97. Police, police!
Copy !req
98. The police are coming.
Copy !req
99. Look, it's a trick, an illusion.
I don't know what went wrong,
Copy !req
100. but if we can all just
calm down for a second...
Copy !req
101. "You have the right to remain silent.
Copy !req
102. "Anything you say can and will
be used against you."
Copy !req
103. This never happens to me in Vegas.
Copy !req
104. She's been set up.
Copy !req
105. Obviously, but as she's the only
suspect, the police must hold her.
Copy !req
106. Giving the real thief time to escape.
I can't let that happen.
Copy !req
107. And more important,
you can't desert an old friend.
Copy !req
108. Huh?
Copy !req
109. —Nice car.
—Thanks.
Copy !req
110. You know, I didn't love the idea of
spending the night in jail,
Copy !req
111. but this does technically
make me a fugitive.
Copy !req
112. I believe I'm looking
at some prison time now.
Copy !req
113. I heard about the mint robbery.
I can help prove you didn't do it.
Copy !req
114. Why do you care about some
leggy dame in nylons?
Copy !req
115. Or have I answered my own question?
Copy !req
116. —BATMAN: If you want to go it alone...
—
Copy !req
117. No, no. I'm sorry. I'm having a bad day.
Copy !req
118. I'm sure whoever framed you
knew how your trick was done.
Copy !req
119. They may have left a clue at the mint.
Copy !req
120. —This place is surrounded by cops.
—Just relax.
Copy !req
121. That's where the money was.
Copy !req
122. Look. This line was recently
scraped into the floor.
Copy !req
123. Whatever made it
left shards of glass, too.
Copy !req
124. That would have been
one mighty big piece of glass.
Copy !req
125. Or mirror.
Copy !req
126. Like the one you used to reflect
the hologram of the vanished mint.
Copy !req
127. Oh, sure,
take all the mystery out of life.
Copy !req
128. I think the money was stolen
before you got here.
Copy !req
129. The thief reflected a hologram
of the cash while you did your trick,
Copy !req
130. then quickly hid
the mirror when it was over.
Copy !req
131. How'd he get rid of a mirror that big?
Copy !req
132. He didn't. It's still here.
Copy !req
133. Who's in here?
Copy !req
134. Hold it!
Copy !req
135. Stay where you are.
Copy !req
136. Only another magician
would have known how to rig that trick.
Copy !req
137. Or someone who knows their methods.
Like Montague Kane.
Copy !req
138. He's been ripping off
illusionists for years.
Copy !req
139. I thought I finally had a trick
even he couldn't expose. Wrong.
Copy !req
140. I'll settle with Kane.
Copy !req
141. Meantime, I'd better
drop you some place safe.
Copy !req
142. Oh, no. Kane played me for a sap,
and I'll see him go down for it.
Copy !req
143. All right, but it could be dangerous.
Copy !req
144. You're sure there's no one
you want to call first?
Copy !req
145. Uh, friends, family, a husband, maybe?
Copy !req
146. Me? Who's got time for a relationship
Copy !req
147. when you're pulling rabbits
out of a hat 52 weeks a year?
Copy !req
148. Besides, someone's got to keep
the old act going now that Dad's gone.
Copy !req
149. —I'm sorry.
- Why?
Copy !req
150. I saw him perform when I was younger.
He was great.
Copy !req
151. Thanks. You know, I have
the weirdest feeling we've met before.
Copy !req
152. I just have that kind of face.
Copy !req
153. It would seem I have guests.
Copy !req
154. Come in, and join me by the fire.
Copy !req
155. Come, come. Don't be shy.
Copy !req
156. You've obviously unraveled
my little scheme
Copy !req
157. and I would congratulate you
face—to—face.
Copy !req
158. You're not going to have a face
when I'm done with you.
Copy !req
159. Now, you slimy...
Copy !req
160. It's a trap!
Copy !req
161. A trifle cliched,
I know, but effective nonetheless.
Copy !req
162. And while you briefly savor
your fleeting triumph,
Copy !req
163. I am winging toward more
comfortable surroundings.
Copy !req
164. Adieu.
Copy !req
165. - I have an idea.
—Oh, I would hope so.
Copy !req
166. This way.
Copy !req
167. I always did know how to make an exit.
Copy !req
168. Unfortunately, so did Kane.
Copy !req
169. And while you
briefly savor your fleeting triumph,
Copy !req
170. I am winging toward
more comfortable surroundings.
Copy !req
171. Adieu.
Copy !req
172. Come on. The show's not over yet.
Copy !req
173. Take a last longing look,
gentlemen.
Copy !req
174. We're heading to a place
where the climate is warmer,
Copy !req
175. the people are friendlier
Copy !req
176. and the extradition laws
are nonexistent.
Copy !req
177. The only place
you're heading is to a prison cell.
Copy !req
178. Well done, Batman.
Copy !req
179. You not only eluded my trap,
but solved my clue as well.
Copy !req
180. Get rid of him.
Copy !req
181. Ta—da!
Copy !req
182. Oh, Monty. You fell for
the second-oldest trick in the book.
Copy !req
183. And here's the first.
Copy !req
184. Keep your distance, Detective.
Copy !req
185. You are most engaging, my dear.
Copy !req
186. Beautiful, impetuous.
Copy !req
187. I could be persuaded to spare you,
if properly implored.
Copy !req
188. —
—Ow!
Copy !req
189. Bring them both!
Copy !req
190. With all reverence for the departed,
Copy !req
191. Zatara himself
couldn't escape those locks.
Copy !req
192. Still, between the two of you, you might
be able to loosen a few chains
Copy !req
193. before you hit the water.
Copy !req
194. Take my hand.
Copy !req
195. Scared? That makes two of us.
Copy !req
196. —Trust me, Zanna.
—"Zanna"?
Copy !req
197. Quick, in my glove.
Copy !req
198. Farewell, my dear Zatanna.
Copy !req
199. We could have been magic.
Copy !req
200. —
—
Copy !req
201. Incredible.
Copy !req
202. Stop firing, you fools!
Copy !req
203. Get rid of him!
Copy !req
204. Whoa!
Copy !req
205. Don't you know? A magician never
does the same trick twice.
Copy !req
206. So, you never wrote.
Copy !req
207. I meant to. Really.
Copy !req
208. Hey, it's okay.
I can see you've been busy.
Copy !req
209. —Just answer an old friend one question.
—Shoot.
Copy !req
210. What happened that made you put this on?
Copy !req
211. A painful memory.
Copy !req
212. And a promise.
Copy !req
213. I'd say you're keeping
that promise pretty well.
Copy !req
214. And for what it's worth,
Dad would've been proud of you tonight.
Copy !req
215. You, too.
Copy !req
216. Can I give you a ride?
Copy !req
217. John,
I hate goodbyes too. Love, Zanna.
Copy !req
218. P.S. Don't forget to write.
Copy !req
219. English — SDH
