00:22The night, sir.
00:23Shall I warm up Christmas dinner?
00:25No.
00:25It's going to be a long night out.
00:41It's going to be a long night out.
01:06It's going to be a long night out.
01:30Assassins, sir.
01:31As in more than one?
01:33That's right.
01:34And you heard this from the mouth of a crocodile man?
01:36His name is Killer Croc.
01:38He's already behind bars.
01:41Oh, I pity his cellmate.
01:43I don't.
01:44Let's see what else is on the drone's hard drive.
01:46Each of them gets one of these envelopes.
01:48I need them delivered.
01:50Tonight.
01:51They're all hired killers.
01:53The best in the business.
01:55Black Mask isn't messing around.
01:58Slade Wilson.
01:59Deathstroke.
02:00Former military.
02:01Subject of a failed medical experiment.
02:04Fail, do you think?
02:06Garfield Lins, aka Firefly, burns on 90% of his body.
02:11His obsession is going to be his end.
02:13How unlike anyone I know.
02:16Here's a face I don't recognize.
02:18Copperhead.
02:19Strange.
02:20These reports reference a male, not a female.
02:23Fourteen escapes, huh?
02:24Well, you won't be the agnado.
02:26What the?
02:32Floyd Lawton, aka Deadshot, says here he's an expert sharpshooter.
02:39How on earth?
02:40Suspected of many assassinations.
02:43Dangerous, but reckless.
02:45Street tough named Lester Baczynski.
02:47Calls himself Electrocutioner.
02:51Shocking.
02:53Sheeva.
02:54Her skill is unmatched.
03:14Bane, here, in Gotham.
03:30Why would he be taking money as a hired killer?
03:36Is that Warden Joseph?
03:39Must be how Black Mask got inside the prison.
03:41He uses torture for intimidation and entertainment.
03:46Eight assassins after your head.
03:48What are you going to do?
03:49I'm going to find out who is operating this drone.
03:52Make them tell me what they know.
03:54Then I'm going to find Black Mask and put an end to this.
04:03Sir, I may be stating the obvious here, but you do realize that since you and I are the only
04:08people who know that Batman's true identity, those assassins will all fail their mandate if you'd just spend the evening
04:15here.
04:16They'll put innocents in danger to attract my attention.
04:19I can't take that risk.
04:21And you think it's a better idea to just put yourself in their crosshairs?
04:27There's only one person in Gotham who can get his hands on something like this.
04:31The Penguin.
04:32He's been tracking Black Mask.
04:34Its next waypoint was a rendezvous with Penguin's men at Jezebel Plaza.
04:38I'll make them talk.
04:43You're sure this is wise, sir?
04:44I know what I'm doing.
04:46Well, in case you change your mind and want to train tonight instead, I'll keep your training facility active.
04:53The Batwing is prepped and ready to take you to Jezebel Plaza, sir.
04:59A question, sir, if I may.
05:01How did Waylon Jones come to be the way he is?
05:04Atavism from the look of it.
05:06An unfortunate genetic mutation.
05:07Do you think the condition causes physical pain?
05:10Might that explain his rage?
05:12It goes deeper than that.
05:14Imagine growing up looking like he did.
05:16Children are cruel, Alfred.
05:18So are adults, sir.
05:20All part of a human condition, I suppose.
05:22We've a tendency to fear, often outright despise, that which is different.
05:28Ah, but you already knew that.
05:31If you're serious about getting to Jezebel Plaza in time to find Penguin's men,
05:36you'll want to leave soon.
05:52You'll want to leave soon.
05:58Sir, you'd better hurry if you're planning on getting to Jezebel Plaza before Penguin's men finish their...
06:04...
06:04...
06:05...
06:32I don't know.
06:42Sir, to make your travels easier, I went ahead and set up some auto-nav points at different areas of
06:47the city.
06:48One of my preset destinations should take you right to Jezebel Plaza.
07:14D'Alfred, I've got... I'm tracking it too. It appears the control towers you use for your auto-nav systems
07:19are putting out a jamming signal.
07:21Storm damage. You'll have you down there. You'll find that out for yourself, sir.
07:25Got it. We're close to one hour.
07:37D'Alfred, only one's here. Look, Gotham optics get the call that the tower's acting funny, right?
07:47So defend his eye on him. He never shows. He probably went home for the night, but he's a bastard.
07:53Anyway, when he doesn't afford him, he's ten minutes old.
07:56There's no secret plan here, fellas. We're just doing our job.
07:59What the? Grab the hostages!
08:01You... you seeing this?
08:02What the hell is this?
08:03I ain't messing around. Move it!
08:06I can drop smoke pellets to conceal my movements.
08:09I need to get up and out of danger. He can't shoot what he can't see.
08:13I'll cover you.
08:15Attacking head-on is a good way to get myself shot.
08:17And probably the hostage, too.
08:19But they won't expect an attack from above.
08:22Nobody ever does.
08:24Is that thing out there with you?
08:26Are you crazy? We were answering the service call. That's it?
08:31Screw this. I quit.
08:51I can sneak up on the hostage-taker by crawling through the vent.
09:01What the hell was that?
09:03You think it's the guy that hired us?
09:07Get yourself to safety, and call the police. They'll want to see what's going on here.
09:12Okay. I will.
09:14This was just supposed to be a service call.
09:16Fix the tower. In and out.
09:18I need a new job.
09:22I'm out.
09:23Where you going?
09:24Where that thing came from.
09:25Don't let me do something crazy.
09:27Whoever you are, come near me, and I'll kill this guy.
09:38I can... I can fix the tower.
09:40Whatever you want.
09:41Just... please don't hurt me.
09:43All I want is for you to get yourself to safety.
09:45Oh.
09:46Come on.
10:03I can't.
10:05I can't.
10:06I can't.
10:07I can't.
10:27I don't think this tower malfunction is from storm damage.
10:30I need to set up a crime scene and find out what happened.
10:33I should start by identifying the victim.
10:45The victim's name is David Shannon, a Gotham Optics employee sent here to repair a faulty network
10:51tower.
10:51But what killed him?
10:53Scanning the DNA impact on the wall should provide an answer.
11:07Impact analysis indicates the victim was killed by some kind of explosion originating at
11:12that access panel.
11:13I should scan it for additional clues.
11:23It looks like the panel was rigged to detonate when swiped with a key card.
11:27Someone really didn't want this tower repaired.
11:29And it looks like that same someone left a set of fingerprints behind.
11:33Alfred, I'm uploading some prints for analysis.
11:36Let me know what comes back.
11:37Certainly, sir.
11:38Searching now.
11:40And here we are.
11:42They belong to one John F. Baker.
11:46He's a rather unremarkable criminal.
11:48Small jobs, mostly.
11:50And they...
11:51Hmm.
11:52That's curious.
11:53What's curious?
11:55Mr. Baker's dead, sir.
11:56His body was recovered from the Diamond District just under an hour ago.
12:01Looks like someone's tying up loose ends.
12:04I can bypass the booby-trapped access panel with my cryptographic sequencer.
12:08But I'll need the encryption codes from the victim's access card.
12:11Reviewing the crime scene will show me where it is.
12:14Heals.
12:19It's easy to know.
12:19All right.
12:19If it was, if it was, it would be further.
12:20You can see.
