Beware the Batman (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 15 - Reckoning - full transcript

Previously on
Beware the Batman.

The Ion Cortex, it's a computer.

Which means it can be hacked
and destroyed.

I know a hacker
who can help you. Me.

You killed Tatsu's father
and you ran.

Alfred?

I am Ra's al Ghul.

I come seeking help with a problem
I believe you are all familiar with.

Batman.

Have I said
something entertaining?

Dear fellow, I speak
for all of us



when I say thank you,
for opening our cells.

But your problem
is just that, yours.

Yeah, yours.

As in, not ours.

Ow.

That was regrettable.

Hold on, now, porky.

We don't take orders
from outsiders.

By morning, Gotham will be in the
control of the League of Assassins.

Help me, and there will be
place for you in it.

And by help you,
you mean kill the Bat?

Alive or dead
is no matter to me,

whoever brings me Batman
will be rewarded

with their own piece of
Gotham to do with as they please.



So, do we have a deal?

Computer, confirm diagnostic
on the Batmobile.

Confirming, Batman.

I have also downloaded the Scythian
translation you requested to your Batsuit.

Good.

May I ask, were you not beaten by
Ra's al Ghul in your last encounter?

The odds of you
reversing this defeat

are 50 to one in Ra's favor.

Then I hope Barbara Gordon can
hack the Cortex before the rematch.

We're in position.
How long is this gonna take?

Signal's too weak.

We need to get closer.

Stop!

I got a signal, 70%.

Please, tell me that's good.

Good enough.
Put her in park, Dad.

This is where
it gets interesting.

Who's there?

Choices always
demand a reckoning, Miss Yamashiro.

Your father understood that.

Which is why,
out of respect for him,

I'm going to make you an offer.

Save your breath.

Oh, I think
you want to hear this.

My offer is simple.

Kill Pennyworth.

And I will release your father's
soul from the Soultaker Sword.

What? My father's soul?

Edogawa has been trapped
in this sword for decades

because of Pennyworth
and he said nothing.

Your father's soul in pain.

No!

Avenge your father,
and I will set you free.

I want my reckoning.

Batman, I'm
detecting movement up ahead.

Looters.
I'll get to them later.

I do not believe
this is looters.

Hello, Batman.

I hope you're not offended
that I sought outside help.

You're an annoyance, but hardly
worth my individual attention.

Enjoy the reunion.

Hello, my little bat.
Miss me?

What did Ra's promise you?
What am I worth?

The delicious Mr. Ghul
is going to make me a queen

with my own piece of the city

and all the shiny shiny
I can steal.

Isn't he a doll?

Back off, barbeque boy,
he's mine.

Hollow threat coming from someone
who's about to be a roast chicken.

Good to see you again, Batman.

Let's play.

How much longer?

I'm almost to the kernel.

This code is amazing.

One slip,
instant smash the stack.

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.

What? Is there something
on my face?

No. I just...

I had no idea that you knew
about this kind of stuff.

Why didn't you ever tell me?

Come on, Dad, you're... Dad.

Girl's gotta have her secrets.

Understood.

I'm proud of you, kiddo.

Get down, Barbara.
Out of sight.

What's happening?

Barbara, stay where you are.
I think I scared him off.

Daddy needs to move the car.

Turn right.

Uh, Dad.

We just lost the satellite,

which means I'm going to have to
find another way to hack the Cortex.

Great.

Enough. I'm done.

Magpie, I'm yours.

Sorry, suckers.

This bat's going to the bird.

I don't think so.

Looks like
you're the winner, Phosphorus.

Keep your tentacles to yourself.

Like my shiny shiny, froggy.

I think it's time to slice up
some fresh bacon.

Give it your best shot, tweety.

Almost too easy.

Out for a stroll, baby?

I ain't armed.
Just wanna talk.

Fools you just left can
beat each other all they want.

I ain't interested in taking
orders from no out-of-towner.

Dig?

No. I don't "dig".

Ra's al Ghul wants your hide,
and he offers what?

A piece of my city?
Ain't his to give, baby.

I'm guessing you feel
the same, so I figure

any enemy of my enemy
is someone I can party with.

Dig me now?

You could only outrun your past
for so long, Agent Pennyworth.

Don't do this, Tatsu.
You father...

Do not talk to me
about my father.

His soul was in this sword, in my
possession, and you said nothing.

Well done.
Now, finish him.

Not yet.

Before I take his soul,
I want to hear the truth,

how he killed my father.

I had no intention
of killing your father, Tatsu.

My only thought was survival.

But then, just as the sword
began to draw out my soul,

your father let go.

All I remember after that is
dropping the sword and running.

Edogawa sacrificed
himself for me.

It's the truth, Tatsu.

He's lying, Katana, as he's
lied to you your whole life.

He killed your father
in cold blood.

Finish him.

No.

Alfred is not a killer.

And neither was my father.

Then you'll join Edogawa's
soul along with Pennyworth's.

Kill them!

Hold.

Change of plans.

- What's going on?
- I don't know.

But I think
we're about to find out.

Take one last look as your
hero bows to me before you die.

Impressive.

I was expecting a body
but not one so alive.

But this is indeed
a wonderful prize.

Hate to disappoint, but this
is a prize you're going to lose.

Do either of you actually
think you will leave here alive?

Actually, I believe
one of us will.

I'm a gambler, Batman.

And as any good gambler knows
you gotta play the odds, and, baby,

you got some long odds.

Mr. Ghul, I do believe you and me
gonna do some business together.

Didn't know getting played
was so amusing.

I needed to get to Ra's and
you brought me right to him.

Thank you.

Now, let's finish this.

I am officially the worst father
of the year for letting you do this.

Dad, I just have to hardwire my laptop
into Fall Point's internal network.

Once I'm in the kernel
I can destroy the Cortex.

We'll be heroes.

We'll be dead.

This place is
crawling with ninjas.

They won't kill us. They'll just
take us hostage. It's all good.

We've danced
this dance before, Batman.

Only an insane man would believe
the outcome could be different.

I've been called crazy before.

He doesn't even look
like he's trying.

Which leads me to believe there's
more to this duel than we're seeing.

He's stalling.

We're back in business, Dad.

I did it!
I'm at the kernel.

Then destroy it
and save the city.

Because we need
to be going. Now.

Your time is over, Batman.

Gotham belongs to me.

What is this?

What is happening?

Barbara.

We're out of time.
Finish it.

Almost.

There!

Let's go home.

Congratulations.

I've always wondered
what it felt like to lose.

You were right.

I can't beat you.
Not one on one.

But everyone has their weakness.

And what is my weakness?

The belief you don't have one.

Katana.

The Soultaker Sword?

I was finally able to decode the Scythian
chant you used to power the sword.

So you intend to put my soul
back in the sword?

This is no threat to me.

The League of Assassins
is legion.

The sword will be found
and I released.

That's why my plan was
to release the souls you took

by reverse engineering
the chant.

Like I said,
I can't defeat you one-on-one,

but with an army
of your enemies...

Well, that's a different story.

Stop! Release me!

Interesting plan.

Thank you.

Wasn't exactly sure
what would happen.

I was hoping
they'd tear him apart.

That was him.

That was my father.

He's free.

So, I did good?

Yeah, kid, you did good.

But let's keep it between us.

Especially the part about
stealing Gotham PD equipment.

You got it, lieutenant.

Please, Bruce, don't make
this harder than it already is.

Why leave now?

I lived another life
before I met you.

A life in which I did
some things I'm not proud of.

This whole event
has made me realize

that perhaps it's not too late
to put those things right.

So this is goodbye?

No, if you or Batman need me,

I will be there.
This I promise you.

Duty calls.

You coming?
