1. Hello, Gotham, I'm home.
Copy !req
2. - Hello, Ronnie.
- Ronnie!
Copy !req
3. Veronica darling,
you look smashing.
Copy !req
4. How did you like
the rainforest?
Copy !req
5. The food was appalling,
the accommodations
Copy !req
6. were non-existent and the bugs
were the size of my trust fund.
Copy !req
7. But seriously, it's important
we all do our part
Copy !req
8. to preserve those
precious resources.
Copy !req
9. - Hear, hear.
- Absolutely.
Copy !req
10. Look at them, celebrating
without a care in the world.
Copy !req
11. I think it's great that
Veronica's finally doing
Copy !req
12. something worthwhile
with her money.
Copy !req
13. Uh, I'm sorry, Bruce.
Copy !req
14. The securities business
has been kinda rough lately.
Copy !req
15. Lot of late hours, you know.
Copy !req
16. Seems all I do is worry
about how to get my company
Copy !req
17. through one more day.
Copy !req
18. Worries, Hayden?
I have the cure for that.
Copy !req
19. I'm a little old for dolls,
don't you think?
Copy !req
20. Not these dolls.
Copy !req
21. They're Worry Men
from Central America.
Copy !req
22. Legends say,
you tell them your problems
Copy !req
23. then put them
under your pillow at night
Copy !req
24. 'they'll do your worrying
for you while you sleep.'
Copy !req
25. And when you wake up, poof,
your problems are gone.
Copy !req
26. Oh, come on, Ronnie.
Copy !req
27. You're the last one
I'd think would fall
Copy !req
28. for some ancient tribal hoodoo.
Copy !req
29. Don't be so smug, Brucie.
Copy !req
30. When I was in the jungle,
I saw some things
Copy !req
31. 'you'd never believe.'
Copy !req
32. And I tell you, I haven't had
a bad night's sleep
Copy !req
33. since my trip.
Copy !req
34. Well, sounds great to me.
Copy !req
35. In fact, the little darlings
work their magic
Copy !req
36. for me all day long.
Copy !req
37. 'See, aren't they precious?'
Copy !req
38. I just couldn't get along
without them.
Copy !req
39. Well, thanks
for everything, Ron
Copy !req
40. but I've got
a few more rounds to make.
Copy !req
41. Hmph. If ever someone
led a worry-free life
Copy !req
42. 'it's you, Bruce Wayne.'
Copy !req
43. I've got one for everybody.
Copy !req
44. 'Party crasher?'
Copy !req
45. Nasty toy.
Copy !req
46. Ready to call it
a night?
Copy !req
47. Ahh!
Copy !req
48. Oh, my heavens!
Copy !req
49. Tell me, Alfred
Copy !req
50. what's an ancient
Mayan witch doctor
Copy !req
51. doing on
a Gotham skyscraper?
Copy !req
52. This isn't one of those
Riddler questions, is it?
Copy !req
53. No, but it's just
as confusing.
Copy !req
54. There's someone new in town
Copy !req
55. using Mayan tribal gimmicks
in his crimes.
Copy !req
56. - Blowguns, stone weapons..
- Voodoo dolls?
Copy !req
57. Oh, that's some party favor
from Veronica's party.
Copy !req
58. They're supposed to take away
your worries while you sleep.
Copy !req
59. Imagine that.
Copy !req
60. What some overworked souls
won't do
Copy !req
61. to get a good night's rest.
Copy !req
62. Hmm.
Copy !req
63. Still, every little bit helps.
Copy !req
64. I tell you, child,
I handle all sorts of things
Copy !req
65. for Mr. Wayne, but this one
really takes the cake.
Copy !req
66. - Oh, morning, Dana.
- Oh, I gotta go. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
67. Sometimes I forget
how beautiful Gotham can be.
Copy !req
68. You're in fine spirits,
I must say.
Copy !req
69. A good night's sleep and I'm
ready to take on the world.
Copy !req
70. You got everything alright?
Copy !req
71. Yes, I followed
your message to the letter.
Copy !req
72. But I can't help
wondering what—
Copy !req
73. Thank you.
Copy !req
74. I know it's your company,
Mr. Wayne
Copy !req
75. but 20 million dollars, man.
Copy !req
76. That's a lot of money.
Copy !req
77. Yes, it is.
What's your point?
Copy !req
78. Well, I'd sure feel
uncomfortable walking around
Copy !req
79. with all that cash
in a tiny little briefcase.
Copy !req
80. Dana, I'm sorry.
I'm not following this.
Copy !req
81. What cash? What briefcase?
Copy !req
82. The 20 million dollars
Copy !req
83. you told me to put
in a briefcase for you.
Copy !req
84. You're not making any sense.
Copy !req
85. The 20 million I told you
to put in a briefcase?
Copy !req
86. You call me from your car,
gave me your account number
Copy !req
87. told me to transfer
20 million dollars in cash and..
Copy !req
88. Hey!
Copy !req
89. Twenty million
of my money in that case?
Copy !req
90. I hope you're not going
to take it out of my salary.
Copy !req
91. Tens of millions
of dollars are missing
Copy !req
92. since this morning, Mr. Sloane.
Copy !req
93. 'If it wasn't you, then who?'
Copy !req
94. B-but I don't know, I tell you.
Copy !req
95. I-I don't know.
Why would I do it? Why?
Copy !req
96. That was the scene today
as broker Hayden Sloane
Copy !req
97. was arrested on charges
of embezzlement.
Copy !req
98. 'Sloane joins the growing list
of wealthy Gothamites'
Copy !req
99. who for reasons unknown have
pilfered their own companies
Copy !req
100. 'for a combined total
of 100 million dollars.'
Copy !req
101. Unbelievable.
Copy !req
102. And you have no clue
how this could have happened?
Copy !req
103. I do now.
Copy !req
104. Each of us was a guest
at Veronica Vreeland's party.
Copy !req
105. If there are answers,
she's got them.
Copy !req
106. vroom
Copy !req
107. 'Ms. Vreeland.'
Copy !req
108. Huh? Ugh.
Copy !req
109. 'Batman?'
Copy !req
110. Let me help you
with your bag.
Copy !req
111. No, you stay back.
Copy !req
112. This is mine, you hear?
Mine.
Copy !req
113. Ugh.
Copy !req
114. I know it's yours.
Copy !req
115. What were you planning
to do with it?
Copy !req
116. I have to throw it overboard
because... because..
Copy !req
117. E-excuse me,
I-I don't feel very well.
Copy !req
118. whoosh
Copy !req
119. 'Care to explain these?'
Copy !req
120. My jewels!
Copy !req
121. 'How did they get here?'
Copy !req
122. Don't you remember?
Copy !req
123. No, uh, e-everything's
a blank. I..
Copy !req
124. Ahh!
Copy !req
125. - Leave him alone, you swine!
- Ugh!
Copy !req
126. Please?
Copy !req
127. My therapist's never
going to believe this.
Copy !req
128. And I thought you were supposed
to take away my worries.
Copy !req
129. Hmm.
Copy !req
130. Well, say goodbye,
you troublesome little trinkets.
Copy !req
131. Wait. These dolls.
Where did you get them?
Copy !req
132. From a craftsman
at a small village.
Copy !req
133. 'Uh, a funny little man
in a giant straw hat.'
Copy !req
134. An Englishman?
Copy !req
135. Why, yes.
Copy !req
136. And he suggested
giving the dolls
Copy !req
137. to your society friends.
Copy !req
138. What, are you psychic too?
Copy !req
139. Just picking up
on the pattern.
Copy !req
140. Sir, you have no idea
how terrible I feel
Copy !req
141. to have played
a part in this.
Copy !req
142. Neither you nor Veronica
could have known that
Copy !req
143. hidden within each doll
was a tiny microchip
Copy !req
144. designed to stimulate
a sleeper's brainwaves
Copy !req
145. 'and make him susceptible
to hypnotic suggestion.'
Copy !req
146. Creating a radio receiver
of sorts
Copy !req
147. out of an entranced
human mind?
Copy !req
148. Exactly.
Copy !req
149. 'And who knows how to warp
the human mind better'
Copy !req
150. 'than Jervis Tetch,
the Mad Hatter.'
Copy !req
151. '"O frabjous day!'
Copy !req
152. '"Callooh! Callay!'
Copy !req
153. 'He chortled in his joy."'
Copy !req
154. It's sheer brilliance.
Copy !req
155. A wonderland of treasures
all willingly donated
Copy !req
156. by Gotham's simpering elite.
Copy !req
157. Ah!
Copy !req
158. And now come the famous
Vreeland jewels
Copy !req
159. to dance at my heels.
Copy !req
160. What? How dare you
return empty-handed?
Copy !req
161. Forgive us, sir.
But Batman showed up and—
Copy !req
162. Batman?
Copy !req
163. You insufferable fools!
Copy !req
164. You can't even handle one man
dressed up like a flying mouse?
Copy !req
165. Oh, and what's this?
What's this?
Copy !req
166. You've graciously left part
of your cloak behind
Copy !req
167. as Batman's invitation
to waltz right into our midst.
Copy !req
168. Bah!
Copy !req
169. And that's just
what he'll do, won't he?
Copy !req
170. Yeah, of course he will.
Copy !req
171. And far be it for me
to disappoint him
Copy !req
172. 'when he arrives.'
Copy !req
173. 'As you predicted, sir'
Copy !req
174. the computer
has identified
Copy !req
175. this scrap
of artificial fur
Copy !req
176. as a type used
in theatrical productions.
Copy !req
177. Which would make its most
probable source of origin..
Copy !req
178. The Great Eastern
Costume Company.
Copy !req
179. It's been closed for years
Copy !req
180. making it a perfect
hideout for The Mad Hatter.
Copy !req
181. 'I knew you were coming, so I thought'
Copy !req
182. 'I'd have some
of the old chaps around'
Copy !req
183. 'to make you feel at home.'
Copy !req
184. 'How is Batman?
Like a donut shop.'
Copy !req
185. 'They're both
filled with holes.'
Copy !req
186. swish
Copy !req
187. 'Whoops! Should have warned you, old boy.'
Copy !req
188. 'That lot's real.'
Copy !req
189. Aah!
Copy !req
190. Ugh.
Copy !req
191. Delightful.
Copy !req
192. Oh, quite a bonus
to add to my
Copy !req
193. already substantial
collection.
Copy !req
194. You disappoint me, Tetch.
For all your brilliance
Copy !req
195. you've become
just another thief.
Copy !req
196. You make it sound so... common.
Copy !req
197. Well, actually, Batman,
you'll be happy to know
Copy !req
198. you're witnessing
my retirement from crime.
Copy !req
199. See, after my recent release
from Arkham
Copy !req
200. I vowed to leave Gotham
and my wicked ways behind me.
Copy !req
201. Perhaps buy
a little island somewhere
Copy !req
202. and open a sunbonnet shop.
Copy !req
203. Oh, but islands
Copy !req
204. even little ones,
cost money.
Copy !req
205. Lots of money.
Copy !req
206. And then I heard
of Ms. Vreeland's
Copy !req
207. well-publicized trek
into the rainforest.
Copy !req
208. Yes, I realized at once
Copy !req
209. she'd be the perfect
unwitting partner
Copy !req
210. in my scheme.
Copy !req
211. Investing what
limited funds I had.
Copy !req
212. I managed to follow
dear Ronnie into the forest
Copy !req
213. where, at a small native
village, she made
Copy !req
214. the acquaintance of my
specially created Worry Men.
Copy !req
215. Though I can't
take complete credit.
Copy !req
216. I provided the micro-circuitry,
of course
Copy !req
217. but my good friend here
supplied the dolls.
Copy !req
218. Can you believe it?
Copy !req
219. He was just an honest
native craftsman
Copy !req
220. until I changed his mind
about helping me.
Copy !req
221. 'Those others are riffraff
culled out of various'
Copy !req
222. 'Gotham street gangs.'
Copy !req
223. 'Gutter trash
of no great importance.'
Copy !req
224. So as this
is my farewell to crime
Copy !req
225. I think I'll take a souvenir
to mark the occasion.
Copy !req
226. No matter, I have a better way
Copy !req
227. to remove that nasty old cowl.
Copy !req
228. Stop! You don't know
what you're doing.
Copy !req
229. Oh, that noise!
Copy !req
230. What's going on?
Copy !req
231. How did I get here?
Copy !req
232. Oh, you're a clever one.
Copy !req
233. But I will not be denied.
Copy !req
234. As the great Lewis Carroll said
Copy !req
235. "One, two! One, two!
And through and through.
Copy !req
236. "The vorpal blade
went snicker-snack!
Copy !req
237. '"He left it dead,
and with its head'
Copy !req
238. he went galumphing back!"
Copy !req
239. No!
Copy !req
240. Stop. I command you.
Copy !req
241. So we're gutter trash,
are we?
Copy !req
242. Ah!
Copy !req
243. Who's calling the shots now?
Copy !req
244. - Stop!
- 'Yes. Stop.'
Copy !req
245. Leave him to the police.
Copy !req
246. Thank you, thank you
Copy !req
247. you generous,
forgiving, noble fool.
Copy !req
248. Stand back, all of you.
I'm getting out.
Copy !req
249. But not before
I sew up one last loose end.
Copy !req
250. What?
Copy !req
251. Ah!
Copy !req
252. Tomorrow this all goes back to the company.
Copy !req
253. Minus the cost
of a plane ticket home
Copy !req
254. for our kidnapped
doll maker.
Copy !req
255. I must say, after all
the Hatter put him through
Copy !req
256. that fellow showed
remarkable restraint.
Copy !req
257. When everything was said
and done, all the shaman
Copy !req
258. really wanted was to go home.
Copy !req
259. In fact, I hear he even sent
the Hatter a farewell gift.
Copy !req
260. Mmm.
Copy !req
261. Something to ensure
that Jervis Tetch
Copy !req
262. only dreams of a good,
honest life from now on.
Copy !req
