MAN: Your help means a lot to us, Bruce.
BRUCE: And what you do means a lot to this city.
I wish we could do more.
Lately, things haven't been going well.
Thanks. What do you mean?
I can't prove it, but I'm positive, people are disappearing.
Transients, regulars, old faces I miss seeing.
Then a month ago, a volunteer, Dan Riley, disappeared.
I'm telling you, something's very wrong.
-You've talked to the police? -Of course.
But the police have their hands full.
And homeless people disappearing is not big news.

Hey, buddy, you looking for a job?
Maybe. What kind of job?
Oh, you'll like it. It's long-term employment.

[CHAIN CLINKS]
Oh, boy.
-Hey, stranger. -You okay?
I think so. Where am I?
Well, opinions differ, but we all agree. It ain't Miami.
Don't mind him. Every chain gang has a comedian.
I'm Dan Riley, and he's Salvo Smith.
So, what's your name, pal?
I don't know.
[SNARLING]
What is this?
If it's moving, it's a rat. If not, it's a cooked rat.
Why aren't these lowlifes working?
They have to eat, sir.
I have to eat. They have to work.
From now on, they'll bring me twice the gold ore.
-Do you hear me? -Yes, sir.
We recruited some new men.
You bums better start busting butt
or you'll all end up like him.
[GASPS]
No! Please!
I ain't done nothing! No! Please!
Please!
Now get to work, or you'll all roast.
Rise and shine.
It's a beautiful...
That's odd.
Only vampires loathe daylight more than Batman.
I wonder what's keeping him.
[SWITCH CLICKS]
[CLANGING]
-How you holding up? -Okay, I guess.
[GRUNTS] Remember anything yet?
I'm beginning to wonder if I ever will.
Hey, you can't give up hope.
Down here it's all we've got to hang on to.
I guess you're right. So, what brought you guys here?
I was one of Gotham City's unemployed. Now I got a job. Lucky me.
I was a steamfitter at the Gotham Navy Yard.
Two nights a week, I did volunteer work at the Dock Street Rescue Mission.
One night I was getting into my car, and three guys jumped me.
I wound up here.
My family must be going out of their minds.
Rescue Mission.
[RUMBLING]
Cave-in!
[CRASHING]
[COUGHING]
Ah, are you okay?
Where's Salvo?
SALVO: I'm over here, taking five.
[COUGHING]
Hang on, man. We'll get you out.
Take your time. It's the first break I've had all day.
Does this sort of thing happen often?
Too often.
[BEEPING]
No, I'm sorry, sir. Mr. Wayne was called out of town.
If you call back on Friday...
[SWITCHES CLICKING]
The Studebaker's gone.
I'd better activate the tracking device.

Now that was real funny.
Throw him in the box!
You can't. It'll kill him.
[LAUGHS] That's the idea. Now do it!

RILEY: Hey, you really cleaned their clocks.
You did pretty good yourself.
Well, maybe you used to be some kind of fighter.
I don't know.
I just don't know.
RILEY: My son, he's gonna be six on April 7th.
Or seven on April 6. [SIGHS]
Oh, what's it matter? I'll never see him again.
Hang on, Riley.
We'll make it.
Remember what you told me? You can't lose hope.
I can't take it anymore!
I lost my family! My family!
My family! My family! My family! My family!
[BATS SCREECHING]
Riley, you've got to pull it together. We're getting out of here.
[LAUGHS]
Yeah, right.
You're the one who's losing it.
[GRUNTS]
[BLOWS WHISTLES]
[GROANS] Stop him!
Stop him, or you'll all rot in the mines!
[BARKING]
There he is.
We got him now.
He's gone into Box Canyon.
There's no way out.
[DOGS CONTINUE BARKING]
[SNARLING]
THUG 1: Look! Up there!
[ALFRED SCREAMING]
[RAPID BEEPING]
Whoa!
Oh! Whoa!
This must be the place. Bring us down.
COMPUTER: Negative.
But Master Bruce is down here. We have to land.
COMPUTER: Impossible. Area too confined.
Land, you bucket of bolts.
COMPUTER: Your funeral.
Oh, dear.
-[ENGINE REVS] -[SCREAMING]
ALFRED: Get us down!
COMPUTER: Caution. Rocks.
[WHIZZES]
Son of a gun.
[SCREECHING]
COMPUTER: Watch your step.
I... I... I claim this land for Spain.
Master Bruce.
BOSS BIGGIS: Hurry up with that gravy!
If those fools let that prisoner escape, I'll eat them alive.
A bat! A giant bat!
Horrible!
What are you babbling about?
What bat?
Right here.
There it is!
Batman!
[SCREAMS]
[GROANS]
[GROWLS IN ANGER]
Shoot him!
[MACHINE GUN FIRING CONTINUES]
After him, you fools!
BOSS BIGGIS: After him!
$1,000 to the man who bags that bat.
[ALL GASP]
There he is!
BOSS BIGGIS: Split up and fan out.
Huh? [CRIES OUT]
[THUDDING]
Huh?
Kill the lights!
We'll find out if this bat can see in the dark.
[CLICKING SWITCHES]
Look out! [GRUNTS]
I think he went this way.
GUARD 1: Pete, where are... [GROANING]
GUARD 2: Help!
Help! [GROANS]
Hodges, Kurt, Howard! Are you okay?
BATMAN: Not exactly.
Stop him!
No! Leave me alone!
[GROANS]
BATMAN: We've got to get out of here.
Stop. We'll be killed.
BATMAN: Stop, and we will be.

[EXPLOSION]
[SCREAMING]
Don't let me drown!
When you taste the prison food, you'll wish I had.
RILEY: It's no palace,
but you're welcome to stay at our place until you get back on your feet.
Thanks, Riley. Maybe this time, we can find some work that pays.
[ALL LAUGHING]
You know, pal, it'll be tight, but you're welcome too.
Thanks, but I...
ALFRED: Are we ready, Master Bruce?
BOTH: Master Bruce?
Bruce Wayne. WayneTech Enterprises.
If you'd like a job, I can probably help.
Hit me, Riley.
Hit you? Why?
Maybe I'll lose my memory and wake up a millionaire too.
