00:00:06,674 --> 00:00:09,719
[Yvonne]
I had a lovely evening. Good night.

3
00:00:28,362 --> 00:00:29,405
[gasps]

00:00:30,156 --> 00:00:33,159
{\an8}[theme music plays]

5
00:01:02,521 --> 00:01:04,273
[Bruce] Maybe I could just write a check.

6
00:01:04,356 --> 00:01:06,756
[Montoya] For what?
We're here to talk about a missing woman,

7
00:01:06,817 --> 00:01:09,445
- not a speeding ticket.
- Yes, and I'm trying to be helpful.

8
00:01:09,528 --> 00:01:13,824
But I'd also like to keep my family name
out of the papers, if possible.

9
00:01:13,908 --> 00:01:16,410
I thought a donation to the department

10
00:01:16,494 --> 00:01:19,163
might ensure my involvement here
was kept private.

11
00:01:19,246 --> 00:01:20,956
Or I could make a check out to you.

12
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,208
Miss Montoya?

13
00:01:22,291 --> 00:01:24,877
It's Detective Montoya, Mr. Wayne.

14
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:26,712
And not everything
is for sale in this city.

15
00:01:26,796 --> 00:01:29,632
I'm not interested
in dragging you through the mud.

16
00:01:29,715 --> 00:01:31,801
I just want to find Yvonne Francis.

17
00:01:31,884 --> 00:01:34,613
You were the last person to see her.
That's the only reason you're here.

18
00:01:34,637 --> 00:01:36,972
Well, now I'm embarrassed.

19
00:01:37,056 --> 00:01:39,183
Are you? Good.

20
00:01:39,266 --> 00:01:41,060
So let's get back
to the night in question.

21
00:01:41,143 --> 00:01:43,771
Your butler says you dropped
Miss Francis off at 11.

22
00:01:43,854 --> 00:01:44,897
10:52.

23
00:01:44,980 --> 00:01:49,151
Hm. Most people can't do that.
Remember an exact time like that?

24
00:01:49,235 --> 00:01:52,029
Yvonne was starting
a new movie the next morning.

25
00:01:52,112 --> 00:01:54,824
She had an early call time,
so I was watching the clock.

26
00:01:54,907 --> 00:01:57,284
- [door opens]
- Don't say anything else.

27
00:01:57,368 --> 00:02:00,871
Ah. There you are.
This is Lucius Fox, my lawyer.

28
00:02:00,955 --> 00:02:04,124
Mr. Wayne is assisting
in a missing persons case, Mr. Fox.

29
00:02:04,208 --> 00:02:06,710
Not anymore, he isn't.
Get your things, Bruce.

30
00:02:06,794 --> 00:02:08,963
Mr. Wayne isn't a suspect.

31
00:02:09,046 --> 00:02:12,406
[Lucius] And yet you dragged him down here
instead of interviewing him at his estate.

32
00:02:12,466 --> 00:02:15,302
I wasn't aware having an estate
got you preferential treatment.

33
00:02:15,386 --> 00:02:17,972
You're funny.
Any further questions will go through me.

34
00:02:18,055 --> 00:02:19,557
Nice meeting you, Detective.

35
00:02:20,558 --> 00:02:22,393
Yeah, I'll bet.

00:02:23,394 --> 00:02:24,687
[radio static]

37
00:02:24,770 --> 00:02:27,040
[Alfred] It seems to me, sir,
that you might be better served

38
00:02:27,064 --> 00:02:29,400
pursuing your own investigation.

39
00:02:29,483 --> 00:02:33,571
Detective Montoya's police work is sharp.
She got angry when I offered her a bribe.

40
00:02:33,654 --> 00:02:34,989
Your point, sir?

41
00:02:35,072 --> 00:02:39,326
If she's honest, intelligent,
and incorruptible, she could be an asset.

42
00:02:39,410 --> 00:02:43,038
And, of course, this will help us locate
Miss Francis that much sooner.

43
00:02:43,122 --> 00:02:45,124
Yes, that too.

44
00:02:45,207 --> 00:02:47,894
[Montoya on radio] <i>...frustrating.
I really thought I was getting somewhere</i>

45

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

46
00:02:49,336 --> 00:02:52,923
But the butler alibis him, and honestly,
I don't see Wayne as a suspect.

47
00:02:53,007 --> 00:02:56,302
Need a crime to have a suspect.
We have a missing person.

48
00:02:56,385 --> 00:02:58,679
A very famous missing person, but still.

49
00:02:58,762 --> 00:03:01,974
That's my point.
Not a sign of Frances. Not a word.

50
00:03:02,057 --> 00:03:03,684
Nothing for two days now.

51
00:03:03,767 --> 00:03:06,645
Something's wrong here, boss.
I can feel it.

52
00:03:06,729 --> 00:03:08,480
So what's your next move?

53
00:03:08,564 --> 00:03:10,524
[Montoya] <i>I'm going to the movies.</i>

54
00:03:15,946 --> 00:03:17,239
Detective Montoya.

55
00:03:17,323 --> 00:03:20,659
I'm wondering if you could answer a few
questions about Yvonne Francis, Mr. Karlo.

56
00:03:20,743 --> 00:03:23,787
Yvonne? I'd be happy to.
Please come in.

57
00:03:24,622 --> 00:03:27,708
- Is there any news?
- I'm afraid not.

58
00:03:27,791 --> 00:03:30,544
- How well do you know her?
- Well enough, I suppose.

59
00:03:30,628 --> 00:03:32,671
We've been in half a dozen
features together.

60
00:03:32,755 --> 00:03:36,926
Normally, I play the heavy who comes
leering after her damsel in distress.

61
00:03:37,009 --> 00:03:39,345
[chuckles]
I may have caught a few of those.

62
00:03:39,428 --> 00:03:41,472
We all have our parts to play.

63
00:03:41,555 --> 00:03:44,600
This new film would have been
the first time I'd seen her in months.

64
00:03:44,683 --> 00:03:47,478
Mr. Karlo, if there's something
you think will help me find her?

65
00:03:47,561 --> 00:03:50,648
Just rumors that she was running
with the wrong crowd,

66
00:03:50,731 --> 00:03:54,151
that she was becoming, well, troubled.

67
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:56,320
When you say the wrong crowd?

68
00:03:56,904 --> 00:03:59,531
They were rumors. I didn't heed them.

69
00:04:00,491 --> 00:04:01,700
Perhaps I should have.

70
00:04:02,534 --> 00:04:06,121
In any case, I'm afraid I have a meeting
with Edmund Haynes.

71
00:04:06,205 --> 00:04:07,665
He's my director on the new film.

72
00:04:07,748 --> 00:04:09,708
I can't keep him waiting.

73
00:04:09,792 --> 00:04:11,961
Sure. I appreciate your time.

74
00:04:16,715 --> 00:04:19,593
[woman] And this one was last Tuesday.
There's Miss Frances.

75
00:04:19,677 --> 00:04:23,347
- The dress is an Edith Head.
- It's very nice. Who...?

76
00:04:26,350 --> 00:04:28,769
- You said this was Tuesday?
- That's right.

77
00:04:28,852 --> 00:04:30,854
"I haven't seen her in months," huh?

78
00:04:30,938 --> 00:04:34,984
Would you be a doll and tell me
where Basil Karlo's meeting your boss?

79
00:04:35,067 --> 00:04:37,486
Let me see. Huh!

80
00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:40,322
Mr. Haynes doesn't have anything scheduled
with Mr. Karlo today.

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

84
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:49,248
No, Mr. Karlo left about an hour ago.

85
00:04:50,124 --> 00:04:51,875
I need his home address.

Mustn't ruin your makeup.

What is this? What are you doing?

101
00:06:36,271 --> 00:06:40,567
Try to stay calm. You're going to need
that energy for your big scene.

102

Wait, wait! Come back here!

106
00:06:52,037 --> 00:06:55,332
I screwed up.
I was so sure Karlo was a suspect.

107
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:58,168
- Turns out he was a victim.
- Karlo lied.

108
00:06:58,252 --> 00:07:02,422
Find out why, you'll know who killed him
and maybe locate Miss Francis, too.

109
00:07:02,506 --> 00:07:03,506
If it's not too late.

110
00:07:03,549 --> 00:07:06,051
Don't be so hard on yourself, Renee.

111
00:07:06,135 --> 00:07:10,430
You took a big risk making me a detective.
I've let you down.

112
00:07:10,514 --> 00:07:11,890
Not yet, you haven't.

113
00:07:13,809 --> 00:07:18,564
- So I offered him double or nothing.
- [all laugh]

114
00:07:22,025 --> 00:07:24,361
Detective Montoya, good morning.

115
00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:25,696
Mr. District Attorney.

116
00:07:25,779 --> 00:07:28,740
How's the Yvonne Frances case coming?

117
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,535
Well, it's now part of the Basil Karlo
murder investigation,

118
00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:33,328
so at the moment I'd say not very well.

119
00:07:33,412 --> 00:07:37,082
Don't be so glum.
What this is now is high profile.

120
00:07:37,166 --> 00:07:40,460
You give me an arrest
and I can put on a hell of a trial.

121
00:07:40,544 --> 00:07:41,587
Make us both look good.

122
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:45,257
Will anyone do, or should I focus
on finding the actual murderer?

123
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:47,009
You're a pistol, Detective.

124
00:07:47,092 --> 00:07:50,220
Case like this could do wonders
for my mayoral campaign.

125
00:07:50,304 --> 00:07:54,266
Mr. Dent, I genuinely don't think I could
care less about your mayoral campaign.

126
00:07:54,349 --> 00:07:57,394
A bit of friendly advice: start caring.

127
00:07:57,477 --> 00:08:01,940
Because after Election Day,
you'll want to be on my good side, Renee.

128
00:08:02,024 --> 00:08:04,610
Good luck with the crime fighting,
Gotham's finest.

129
00:08:04,693 --> 00:08:08,989
- Oh, and you, too, Bullock. [laughs]
- [all laugh]

130
00:08:11,033 --> 00:08:13,410
[Valentine] You know what I'm looking at
right now, Sidney?

131
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:16,788
I'm looking at thousands of dollars'
worth of mad scientist gizmos

132
00:08:16,872 --> 00:08:20,167
that we rent from
that McFadden guy by the day,

133
00:08:20,250 --> 00:08:22,669
just sitting here getting all dusty.

134
00:08:22,753 --> 00:08:27,257
Now, if you don't want that overage
coming out of your pocket,

135
00:08:27,341 --> 00:08:32,346
you're going to find me another screamer
to replace the Frances girl!

136
00:08:32,429 --> 00:08:35,015
And you're gonna do it today!

137
00:08:35,098 --> 00:08:36,308
What?!

138
00:08:36,391 --> 00:08:39,645
Mr. Haynes was hoping to speak to you.
I can fit him in at 11.

139
00:08:39,728 --> 00:08:41,980
We got a fright pic supposed to start,

140
00:08:42,064 --> 00:08:46,109
that, as of now, stars a missing girl
and a dead guy.

141
00:08:46,193 --> 00:08:47,193
What does he want?

142
00:08:47,236 --> 00:08:50,739
I suspect he wants to know
if he's still got a movie to direct.

143
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:55,035
[groans] Okay, fair enough.
Just set it up.

144
00:08:59,790 --> 00:09:03,919
- [sighs]
- [man] Hm. [laughs]

[laughter continues]

146
00:09:11,093 --> 00:09:12,719

- Anything?
- While lovely to look at,

156
00:09:49,298 --> 00:09:51,925
Miss Frances is no Gloria Swanson.

157
00:09:52,009 --> 00:09:54,219
Anything useful?

158
00:09:54,303 --> 00:09:57,055
- Regrettably, sir, no.
- [film stops]

159
00:09:59,766 --> 00:10:03,437
- Anything useful?
- Some sort of silicate.

160
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,022
Peculiar.

161
00:10:08,775 --> 00:10:10,902
Get the mercury vapor lamp.

162
00:10:20,203 --> 00:10:23,248
- A monogram, perhaps.
- An abbreviation.

164
00:10:26,293 --> 00:10:28,920
Our killer has access to the studio.

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

166
00:10:36,345 --> 00:10:39,389
Basil Karlo was one of the finest actors

167
00:10:39,473 --> 00:10:41,975
it has been my privilege
to work with, Detective.

168
00:10:42,059 --> 00:10:45,979
I'd go so far as to call him one of
the finest actors of our generation.

169
00:10:46,063 --> 00:10:47,397
What a loss.

170
00:10:48,065 --> 00:10:49,649
Did others share your opinion?

171
00:10:49,733 --> 00:10:52,944
Everyone who worked with Basil
knew how good he was.

172
00:10:53,028 --> 00:10:55,822
He was magnificent, incomparable.

173
00:10:55,906 --> 00:10:59,242
But he didn't have the right look.

174
00:10:59,326 --> 00:11:02,621
He didn't have the right face.

175
00:11:02,704 --> 00:11:06,625
There was a story in the <i>Gazette</i> a couple
of months back about you and Miss Frances.

176
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:09,044
I wouldn't believe everything you read.

177
00:11:09,127 --> 00:11:14,633
Yvonne's lovely, but...
well, let's just say she's not my type.

178
00:11:14,716 --> 00:11:17,677
Oh, Yvonne worked with Karlo
a half dozen times.

179
00:11:17,761 --> 00:11:21,640
- The last one was <i>Tower of Fear.</i>
- Did he enjoy working with Miss Frances?

180
00:11:21,723 --> 00:11:23,683
That's one way to put it.

181
00:11:24,434 --> 00:11:26,144
<i>He had it bad for her.</i>

182
00:11:27,270 --> 00:11:30,941
- All night long, lovey.
- [both laugh]

183
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:35,987
- Did she feel the same way?
- I don't think so.

184
00:11:36,071 --> 00:11:39,199
But don't get me wrong,
she had enormous respect for Basil.

185
00:11:39,282 --> 00:11:40,909
She felt he'd been cheated.

186
00:11:41,576 --> 00:11:43,745
[Yvonne] It's terribly unfair.

187
00:11:43,829 --> 00:11:47,582
With your talent, you should be
a leading man, Basil. If only...

188
00:11:47,666 --> 00:11:49,668
If only I didn't look like this.

189
00:11:50,419 --> 00:11:52,963
Yes. You'd have been a star.

190
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:54,798
[Montoya]
<i>That must have meant a lot to him.</i>

191
00:11:54,881 --> 00:11:58,844
Sure. But it also made him desperate
to do something about his looks.

192
00:12:02,097 --> 00:12:05,809
The camera is kind to some,
cruel to others.

193
00:12:05,892 --> 00:12:10,772
Its cruelty to Basil made him...
ideal for certain parts.

194
00:12:10,856 --> 00:12:13,233
- But not the parts he wanted.
- No.

195
00:12:13,316 --> 00:12:17,112
Which is undoubtedly what drove him
to that lunatic conman, Jack Ellman.

196
00:12:17,195 --> 00:12:21,366
Conman and lunatic?
That's quite a combination, Mr. Haynes.

197
00:12:21,450 --> 00:12:22,826
One or the other, then.

198
00:12:22,909 --> 00:12:24,703
He was a makeup artist at the studio.

199
00:12:24,786 --> 00:12:26,746
Worked with Basil a few times.

200
00:12:27,456 --> 00:12:31,626
Better than that, the treatment
will remake your career, Basil.

201
00:12:31,710 --> 00:12:33,920
I just need some time and some more money.

202
00:12:34,004 --> 00:12:36,506
Anything, Jack. I need a miracle.

203
00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:40,510
- What was this treatment?
- I doubt there ever was one, Detective.

204
00:12:40,594 --> 00:12:44,055
Last I saw,
Karlo lost his patience with Ellman.

205
00:12:44,139 --> 00:12:47,601
Either give me my money back
or give me results.

206
00:12:47,684 --> 00:12:51,438
You're as stupid as you are ugly!
You can't rush something like this!

207
00:12:51,521 --> 00:12:54,399
You're nothing but a fraud! [grunts]

208
00:12:54,483 --> 00:12:56,776
That's it, Ellman! You're fired!

209
00:12:57,819 --> 00:13:00,697

[Haynes] No, no, no!

212
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:16,463
Away from the camera!
Turn away from the camera!

213
00:13:16,546 --> 00:13:17,380
[man] But I thought...

214
00:13:17,464 --> 00:13:20,759
No. You're not a thinker.
You're an actor.

215
00:13:20,842 --> 00:13:24,387

Lew Valentine
and the movie star Darryl Manning.

229
00:14:58,690 --> 00:15:01,026
I'd say they've been dead at least a day.

230
00:15:01,109 --> 00:15:04,779
Problem is, Detective Montoya
just interviewed Manning an hour ago.

231

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

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

241
00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:07,342
Has something happened to Basil?

242
00:16:07,425 --> 00:16:11,346
Don't you read the papers?
Mr. Karlo was murdered last night.

243
00:16:11,429 --> 00:16:14,140
I had no idea. I'm sorry.

244
00:16:14,224 --> 00:16:16,393
Uh, please. We can talk inside.

245
00:16:53,179 --> 00:16:55,348
This isn't Karlo.

I needed a place to continue my work.

Oh, you... you heard about that?

250
00:17:08,903 --> 00:17:11,406
It was experimental.

00:17:18,288 --> 00:17:21,291
I'm a detective, Mr. Ellman.
It's what I do.

You didn't make it easy,
