00:00:06,717 --> 00:00:09,762
[Yvonne]
I had a lovely evening. Good night.

3
00:00:28,405 --> 00:00:29,448
[gasps]

00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:33,202
{\an8}[theme music plays]

5
00:01:02,564 --> 00:01:04,316
[Bruce] Maybe I could just write a check.

6
00:01:04,316 --> 00:01:06,777
[Montoya] For what?
We're here to talk about a missing woman,

7
00:01:06,777 --> 00:01:09,488
- not a speeding ticket.
- Yes, and I'm trying to be helpful.

8
00:01:09,488 --> 00:01:13,867
But I'd also like to keep my family name
out of the papers, if possible.

9
00:01:13,867 --> 00:01:16,453
I thought a donation to the department

10
00:01:16,453 --> 00:01:19,206
might ensure my involvement here
was kept private.

11
00:01:19,206 --> 00:01:20,999
Or I could make a check out to you.

12
00:01:20,999 --> 00:01:22,251
Miss Montoya?

13
00:01:22,251 --> 00:01:24,920
It's Detective Montoya, Mr. Wayne.

14
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,755
And not everything
is for sale in this city.

15
00:01:26,755 --> 00:01:29,675
I'm not interested
in dragging you through the mud.

16
00:01:29,675 --> 00:01:31,844
I just want to find Yvonne Francis.

17
00:01:31,844 --> 00:01:34,596
You were the last person to see her.
That's the only reason you're here.

18
00:01:34,596 --> 00:01:37,015
Well, now I'm embarrassed.

19
00:01:37,015 --> 00:01:39,226
Are you? Good.

20
00:01:39,226 --> 00:01:41,103
So let's get back
to the night in question.

21
00:01:41,103 --> 00:01:43,814
Your butler says you dropped
Miss Francis off at 11.

22
00:01:43,814 --> 00:01:44,940
10:52.

23
00:01:44,940 --> 00:01:49,194
Hm. Most people can't do that.
Remember an exact time like that?

24
00:01:49,194 --> 00:01:52,072
Yvonne was starting
a new movie the next morning.

25
00:01:52,072 --> 00:01:54,867
She had an early call time,
so I was watching the clock.

26
00:01:54,867 --> 00:01:57,327
- [door opens]
- Don't say anything else.

27
00:01:57,327 --> 00:02:00,914
Ah. There you are.
This is Lucius Fox, my lawyer.

28
00:02:00,914 --> 00:02:04,167
Mr. Wayne is assisting
in a missing persons case, Mr. Fox.

29
00:02:04,167 --> 00:02:06,753
Not anymore, he isn't.
Get your things, Bruce.

30
00:02:06,753 --> 00:02:09,006
Mr. Wayne isn't a suspect.

31
00:02:09,006 --> 00:02:12,426
[Lucius] And yet you dragged him down here
instead of interviewing him at his estate.

32
00:02:12,426 --> 00:02:15,345
I wasn't aware having an estate
got you preferential treatment.

33
00:02:15,345 --> 00:02:18,015
You're funny.
Any further questions will go through me.

34
00:02:18,015 --> 00:02:19,600
Nice meeting you, Detective.

35
00:02:20,601 --> 00:02:22,436
Yeah, I'll bet.

00:02:23,437 --> 00:02:24,730
[radio static]

37
00:02:24,730 --> 00:02:27,024
[Alfred] It seems to me, sir,
that you might be better served

38
00:02:27,024 --> 00:02:29,443
pursuing your own investigation.

39
00:02:29,443 --> 00:02:33,614
Detective Montoya's police work is sharp.
She got angry when I offered her a bribe.

40
00:02:33,614 --> 00:02:35,032
Your point, sir?

41
00:02:35,032 --> 00:02:39,369
If she's honest, intelligent,
and incorruptible, she could be an asset.

42
00:02:39,369 --> 00:02:43,081
And, of course, this will help us locate
Miss Francis that much sooner.

43
00:02:43,081 --> 00:02:45,167
Yes, that too.

44
00:02:45,167 --> 00:02:47,878
[Montoya on radio] <i>...frustrating.
I really thought I was getting somewhere</i>

45

<i>before the attorney got here.</i>

46
00:02:49,296 --> 00:02:52,966
But the butler alibis him, and honestly,
I don't see Wayne as a suspect.

47
00:02:52,966 --> 00:02:56,345
Need a crime to have a suspect.
We have a missing person.

48
00:02:56,345 --> 00:02:58,722
A very famous missing person, but still.

49
00:02:58,722 --> 00:03:02,017
That's my point.
Not a sign of Frances. Not a word.

50
00:03:02,017 --> 00:03:03,727
Nothing for two days now.

51
00:03:03,727 --> 00:03:06,688
Something's wrong here, boss.
I can feel it.

52
00:03:06,688 --> 00:03:08,523
So what's your next move?

53
00:03:08,523 --> 00:03:10,567
[Montoya] <i>I'm going to the movies.</i>

54
00:03:15,989 --> 00:03:17,282
Detective Montoya.

55
00:03:17,282 --> 00:03:20,702
I'm wondering if you could answer a few
questions about Yvonne Francis, Mr. Karlo.

56
00:03:20,702 --> 00:03:23,830
Yvonne? I'd be happy to.
Please come in.

57
00:03:24,665 --> 00:03:27,751
- Is there any news?
- I'm afraid not.

58
00:03:27,751 --> 00:03:30,587
- How well do you know her?
- Well enough, I suppose.

59
00:03:30,587 --> 00:03:32,714
We've been in half a dozen
features together.

60
00:03:32,714 --> 00:03:36,969
Normally, I play the heavy who comes
leering after her damsel in distress.

61
00:03:36,969 --> 00:03:39,388
[chuckles]
I may have caught a few of those.

62
00:03:39,388 --> 00:03:41,515
We all have our parts to play.

63
00:03:41,515 --> 00:03:44,643
This new film would have been
the first time I'd seen her in months.

64
00:03:44,643 --> 00:03:47,521
Mr. Karlo, if there's something
you think will help me find her?

65
00:03:47,521 --> 00:03:50,691
Just rumors that she was running
with the wrong crowd,

66
00:03:50,691 --> 00:03:54,194
that she was becoming, well, troubled.

67
00:03:54,194 --> 00:03:56,363
When you say the wrong crowd?

68
00:03:56,947 --> 00:03:59,574
They were rumors. I didn't heed them.

69
00:04:00,534 --> 00:04:01,743
Perhaps I should have.

70
00:04:02,577 --> 00:04:06,164
In any case, I'm afraid I have a meeting
with Edmund Haynes.

71
00:04:06,164 --> 00:04:07,708
He's my director on the new film.

72
00:04:07,708 --> 00:04:09,751
I can't keep him waiting.

73
00:04:09,751 --> 00:04:12,004
Sure. I appreciate your time.

74
00:04:16,758 --> 00:04:19,636
[woman] And this one was last Tuesday.
There's Miss Frances.

75
00:04:19,636 --> 00:04:23,390
- The dress is an Edith Head.
- It's very nice. Who...?

76
00:04:26,393 --> 00:04:28,812
- You said this was Tuesday?
- That's right.

77
00:04:28,812 --> 00:04:30,897
"I haven't seen her in months," huh?

78
00:04:30,897 --> 00:04:35,027
Would you be a doll and tell me
where Basil Karlo's meeting your boss?

79
00:04:35,027 --> 00:04:37,529
Let me see. Huh!

80
00:04:37,529 --> 00:04:40,365
Mr. Haynes doesn't have anything scheduled
with Mr. Karlo today.

I'm looking for Basil Karlo.
Is he still on the lot?

84
00:04:46,830 --> 00:04:49,291
No, Mr. Karlo left about an hour ago.

85
00:04:50,167 --> 00:04:51,918
I need his home address.

Mustn't ruin your makeup.

What is this? What are you doing?

101
00:06:36,231 --> 00:06:40,610
Try to stay calm. You're going to need
that energy for your big scene.

102

Wait, wait! Come back here!

106
00:06:51,997 --> 00:06:55,375
I screwed up.
I was so sure Karlo was a suspect.

107
00:06:55,375 --> 00:06:58,211
- Turns out he was a victim.
- Karlo lied.

108
00:06:58,211 --> 00:07:02,465
Find out why, you'll know who killed him
and maybe locate Miss Francis, too.

109
00:07:02,465 --> 00:07:03,508
If it's not too late.

110
00:07:03,508 --> 00:07:06,094
Don't be so hard on yourself, Renee.

111
00:07:06,094 --> 00:07:10,473
You took a big risk making me a detective.
I've let you down.

112
00:07:10,473 --> 00:07:11,933
Not yet, you haven't.

113
00:07:13,852 --> 00:07:18,607
- So I offered him double or nothing.
- [all laugh]

114
00:07:22,068 --> 00:07:24,404
Detective Montoya, good morning.

115
00:07:24,404 --> 00:07:25,739
Mr. District Attorney.

116
00:07:25,739 --> 00:07:28,783
How's the Yvonne Frances case coming?

117
00:07:28,783 --> 00:07:31,578
Well, it's now part of the Basil Karlo
murder investigation,

118
00:07:31,578 --> 00:07:33,371
so at the moment I'd say not very well.

119
00:07:33,371 --> 00:07:37,125
Don't be so glum.
What this is now is high profile.

120
00:07:37,125 --> 00:07:40,503
You give me an arrest
and I can put on a hell of a trial.

121
00:07:40,503 --> 00:07:41,630
Make us both look good.

122
00:07:41,630 --> 00:07:45,300
Will anyone do, or should I focus
on finding the actual murderer?

123
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:47,052
You're a pistol, Detective.

124
00:07:47,052 --> 00:07:50,263
Case like this could do wonders
for my mayoral campaign.

125
00:07:50,263 --> 00:07:54,309
Mr. Dent, I genuinely don't think I could
care less about your mayoral campaign.

126
00:07:54,309 --> 00:07:57,437
A bit of friendly advice: start caring.

127
00:07:57,437 --> 00:08:01,983
Because after Election Day,
you'll want to be on my good side, Renee.

128
00:08:01,983 --> 00:08:04,653
Good luck with the crime fighting,
Gotham's finest.

129
00:08:04,653 --> 00:08:09,032
- Oh, and you, too, Bullock. [laughs]
- [all laugh]

130
00:08:11,076 --> 00:08:13,453
[Valentine] You know what I'm looking at
right now, Sidney?

131
00:08:13,453 --> 00:08:16,831
I'm looking at thousands of dollars'
worth of mad scientist gizmos

132
00:08:16,831 --> 00:08:20,210
that we rent from
that McFadden guy by the day,

133
00:08:20,210 --> 00:08:22,712
just sitting here getting all dusty.

134
00:08:22,712 --> 00:08:27,300
Now, if you don't want that overage
coming out of your pocket,

135
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:32,389
you're going to find me another screamer
to replace the Frances girl!

136
00:08:32,389 --> 00:08:35,058
And you're gonna do it today!

137
00:08:35,058 --> 00:08:36,351
What?!

138
00:08:36,351 --> 00:08:39,688
Mr. Haynes was hoping to speak to you.
I can fit him in at 11.

139
00:08:39,688 --> 00:08:42,023
We got a fright pic supposed to start,

140
00:08:42,023 --> 00:08:46,152
that, as of now, stars a missing girl
and a dead guy.

141
00:08:46,152 --> 00:08:47,195
What does he want?

142
00:08:47,195 --> 00:08:50,782
I suspect he wants to know
if he's still got a movie to direct.

143
00:08:50,782 --> 00:08:55,078
[groans] Okay, fair enough.
Just set it up.

144
00:08:59,833 --> 00:09:03,962
- [sighs]
- [man] Hm. [laughs]

00:09:11,136 --> 00:09:12,762

- Anything?
- While lovely to look at,

156
00:09:49,257 --> 00:09:51,968
Miss Frances is no Gloria Swanson.

157
00:09:51,968 --> 00:09:54,262
Anything useful?

158
00:09:54,262 --> 00:09:57,098
- Regrettably, sir, no.
- [film stops]

159
00:09:59,809 --> 00:10:03,480
- Anything useful?
- Some sort of silicate.

160
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,065
Peculiar.

161
00:10:08,818 --> 00:10:10,945
Get the mercury vapor lamp.

162
00:10:20,246 --> 00:10:23,291
- A monogram, perhaps.
- An abbreviation.

164
00:10:26,336 --> 00:10:28,963

[Montoya on receiver]
<i>Detective Montoya, I'm expected.</i>

166
00:10:36,388 --> 00:10:39,432
Basil Karlo was one of the finest actors

167
00:10:39,432 --> 00:10:42,018
it has been my privilege
to work with, Detective.

168
00:10:42,018 --> 00:10:46,022
I'd go so far as to call him one of
the finest actors of our generation.

169
00:10:46,022 --> 00:10:47,440
What a loss.

170
00:10:48,108 --> 00:10:49,692
Did others share your opinion?

171
00:10:49,692 --> 00:10:52,987
Everyone who worked with Basil
knew how good he was.

172
00:10:52,987 --> 00:10:55,865
He was magnificent, incomparable.

173
00:10:55,865 --> 00:10:59,285
But he didn't have the right look.

174
00:10:59,285 --> 00:11:02,664
He didn't have the right face.

175
00:11:02,664 --> 00:11:06,668
There was a story in the <i>Gazette</i> a couple
of months back about you and Miss Frances.

176
00:11:06,668 --> 00:11:09,087
I wouldn't believe everything you read.

177
00:11:09,087 --> 00:11:14,676
Yvonne's lovely, but...
well, let's just say she's not my type.

178
00:11:14,676 --> 00:11:17,720
Oh, Yvonne worked with Karlo
a half dozen times.

179
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,683
- The last one was <i>Tower of Fear.</i>
- Did he enjoy working with Miss Frances?

180
00:11:21,683 --> 00:11:23,726
That's one way to put it.

181
00:11:24,477 --> 00:11:26,187
<i>He had it bad for her.</i>

182
00:11:27,313 --> 00:11:30,984
- All night long, lovey.
- [both laugh]

183
00:11:33,153 --> 00:11:36,030
- Did she feel the same way?
- I don't think so.

184
00:11:36,030 --> 00:11:39,242
But don't get me wrong,
she had enormous respect for Basil.

185
00:11:39,242 --> 00:11:40,952
She felt he'd been cheated.

186
00:11:41,619 --> 00:11:43,788
[Yvonne] It's terribly unfair.

187
00:11:43,788 --> 00:11:47,625
With your talent, you should be
a leading man, Basil. If only...

188
00:11:47,625 --> 00:11:49,711
If only I didn't look like this.

189
00:11:50,462 --> 00:11:53,006
Yes. You'd have been a star.

190
00:11:53,006 --> 00:11:54,841
[Montoya]
<i>That must have meant a lot to him.</i>

191
00:11:54,841 --> 00:11:58,887
Sure. But it also made him desperate
to do something about his looks.

192
00:12:02,140 --> 00:12:05,852
The camera is kind to some,
cruel to others.

193
00:12:05,852 --> 00:12:10,815
Its cruelty to Basil made him...
ideal for certain parts.

194
00:12:10,815 --> 00:12:13,276
- But not the parts he wanted.
- No.

195
00:12:13,276 --> 00:12:17,155
Which is undoubtedly what drove him
to that lunatic conman, Jack Ellman.

196
00:12:17,155 --> 00:12:21,409
Conman and lunatic?
That's quite a combination, Mr. Haynes.

197
00:12:21,409 --> 00:12:22,869
One or the other, then.

198
00:12:22,869 --> 00:12:24,746
He was a makeup artist at the studio.

199
00:12:24,746 --> 00:12:26,789
Worked with Basil a few times.

200
00:12:27,499 --> 00:12:31,669
Better than that, the treatment
will remake your career, Basil.

201
00:12:31,669 --> 00:12:33,963
I just need some time and some more money.

202
00:12:33,963 --> 00:12:36,549
Anything, Jack. I need a miracle.

203
00:12:36,549 --> 00:12:40,553
- What was this treatment?
- I doubt there ever was one, Detective.

204
00:12:40,553 --> 00:12:44,098
Last I saw,
Karlo lost his patience with Ellman.

205
00:12:44,098 --> 00:12:47,644
Either give me my money back
or give me results.

206
00:12:47,644 --> 00:12:51,481
You're as stupid as you are ugly!
You can't rush something like this!

207
00:12:51,481 --> 00:12:54,442
You're nothing but a fraud! [grunts]

208
00:12:54,442 --> 00:12:56,819
That's it, Ellman! You're fired!

209
00:12:57,862 --> 00:13:00,740

[Haynes] No, no, no!

212
00:13:12,919 --> 00:13:16,506
Away from the camera!
Turn away from the camera!

213
00:13:16,506 --> 00:13:17,423
[man] But I thought...

214
00:13:17,423 --> 00:13:20,802
No. You're not a thinker.
You're an actor.

215
00:13:20,802 --> 00:13:24,430
Your job is to act the way I direct!

Lew Valentine
and the movie star Darryl Manning.

229
00:14:58,650 --> 00:15:01,069
I'd say they've been dead at least a day.

230
00:15:01,069 --> 00:15:04,822
Problem is, Detective Montoya
just interviewed Manning an hour ago.

This is Montoya. I'm in the east end,

I've got some questions for you
about Basil Karlo.

241
00:16:05,133 --> 00:16:07,385
Has something happened to Basil?

242
00:16:07,385 --> 00:16:11,389
Don't you read the papers?
Mr. Karlo was murdered last night.

243
00:16:11,389 --> 00:16:14,183
I had no idea. I'm sorry.

244
00:16:14,183 --> 00:16:16,436
Uh, please. We can talk inside.

245
00:16:53,222 --> 00:16:55,391
This isn't Karlo.

I don't get many visitors.

I needed a place to continue my work.

The treatment you offered Karlo,

Oh, you... you heard about that?

250
00:17:08,863 --> 00:17:11,449
It was experimental.

251

I'm curious, how did you find me?

253
00:17:18,247 --> 00:17:21,334
I'm a detective, Mr. Ellman.
It's what I do.

You didn't make it easy,
