Why do you want this so bad?
I'm sick of not being taken seriously.

Looks like the rumors around town are true.
Penguin's bringing in a big shipment.
Whatever it is, it must be valuable.
He's got four armed men loading it onto a truck.
I'm gonna go down for a closer look.
How did I know you were gonna say that, then?
I'm wearing bulletproof armor, remember?
Yes.
Lucius Fox's armor was bulletproof.
My mask... is not.
Don't get shot in the face? Got it.
Do I detect a note of sarcasm, Master Bruce?
Hold on.
I just picked up a thief heading toward the truck.
Thieves stealing from thieves
is a victimless crime, Master Bruce.
You just walk away now.
They're walking into a trap.
Master Bruce,
I'm all for you protecting the innocent,

Thanks, Alfred.

Oh, no, wh-where do you think you're going?
To the docks.
I'm sure there's a manifest on the freighter.
Whatever's in that crate must be important

learn how to talk like one.

Sorry, fellas.

Master Bruce, is a very important weapon

Should we go?
BARBARA: There's a knife
being sold at your auction tonight.
I was thinking you might be kind enough
to sell it to me ahead of time.
Hmm.
And why is this knife so important to you?
It's not.
I have a client who's interested.
Gave me a ton of cash, so I was hoping to get it
for a lower price and make a profit.
That start with the attempted five-finger discount last night?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Of course you don't.
I'll triple the opening price.
It'll probably go for less at auction.
(giggles) My dear,
wherever you disappeared to these last few months
has not made you a better liar.

isn't about profit, but about your mysterious benefactor.
He is your client, is-is he not?

(laughs) Wow.
He's really got his hooks into you.

See you tonight, I guess.
Don't forget to bring your checkbook.
Always a pleasure, Oswald.
BRUCE: The knife was used to embalm King Balahsi.
According to this, he ruled ancient Mesopotamia
for the first century.
And what thief in Gotham would want a knife like that?
That's a good question.
According to the manifest, the shipment was full of jewels
and expensive art, yet our thief
went for the item with the least intrinsic value.
Well, that tells me she was a gun for hire.
But who hired her?
I think I just found the answer.
Alfred, look. This drawing
depicts a man being healed by water.
Look at his eyes.
His face.
Who does that remind you of?
That's impossible.
I mean, this-this drawing is 2,000 years old, Master...
I know.
That's him.
That's Ra's al Ghul.
He wants the knife.
I struck out with Falcone.
BULLOCK (on phone): That right?
Try not to sound too happy about it.
Look, if you brought back Falcone,
that would mean gang wars and blood in the streets.
And I don't like it when the streets are bloody, Jim.
Yeah. Well, see how you like it with Penguin.
See you tomorrow, Harvey.

SOFIA: Mind if I join you?
What are you doing here?
I figured you didn't know anyone in town.
I thought I'd keep you company.
Or maybe I just didn't want to drink alone.
To my dad.
I am sorry about your father.
We may have had our differences over the years,
but I always respected him.
Hmm.
When I was a little girl,
if I wanted to spend time with my father,
he'd have me schedule an appointment.
Save the respect, I know who my father is.
Took him getting sick for us
to finally have a real relationship.
How long have you lived down here?
Since I was 13.
My father thought sending me away from Gotham
would keep me safe.
I mean, there are worse places to grow up.
People are happy here,
you see the sun every day.
But I wasn't alone. I had Mario.
We took care of each other.

someone else's idea isn't very original.
Well, it's an homage,

It's very nice.

Ah... this is so much fun.
If only I were the criminal mastermind you are,
we would have been together sooner.
I'm sorry, I don't really follow that.
Well, it took me months to plan your escape.
I had to learn Penguin's schedule,
when he came and went,
devise an exit strategy.
I'm sure it would have taken you two seconds
to think something up.
It is slightly impressive
you were able to outwit Oswald.
Though, as you said, my plan would have
taken much less time.
Oh, wait, that is a great idea.
You should tell me what your plan would have been,
because a window into your master villainy
would mean so much to me.
I...
Um... (breathing unsteadily)
Oh, here I am bombarding you with silly questions.
After everything you've been through,
you must be exhausted.
Yes.
- Yes, I must be exhausted. - (timer bell chimes)

Your brain.
It fires synapses that carry neurons

And if we can stimulate it,
perhaps your other muscles will follow.
- Logical. - Yeah.
- What do you suggest? - Well...
in anticipation of our partnership,
I have been working on a few riddles.
(gasps)
Yes. Riddles.
Yeah. (giggles)
That's exactly what I need.
It's gonna make me feel like myself again.
- Fire away. - Okay, here goes.
What's black and white and red all over?
Easy. Zebra, with a gaping hole.
- Next. - Um,
no, it's actually a newspaper.
That's ridiculous.
There's nothing red on a newspaper. Next.
- Well, it makes sense if you know... - Next!
Oh, um...
I have a face and two hands,
but no arms or legs.
- What am I? - Deformed baby.
Come on. Surely you can do better than this.
Uh, the answer is a clock. Hands...
Oh, my.
I think something is wrong with your brain, Ed.
There... is... nothing...
wrong with my brain.
The problem is your riddles.
Bring me a riddle
that is worthy of my name!

SOFIA: You actually own one?
Yeah, I got a nice two-piece.
He comes with a sense of humor.

Gotham?
Sometimes.
But I can't.
Why not?
It's in my blood.
My father spent his entire life
fighting for the city.
Never took the easy way out.
Neither can I.
What?
Give 'em to me.
I don't really think they're your size.
Come on.
- That, too? - Mm-hmm.
- What are you doing? - Come on.
You can't be serious.
Just a little water, Jim.
I can't remember the last time I just stood still.
All right, Master Bruce,
let's go over the plan again.
It's simple.
I show up at the auction and buy the knife.
Should be easy enough; I am a billionaire.
And a very public one at that.
Turning up at the Penguin's black market auction's
certainly going to raise a few eyebrows, isn't it?
You're the one that said that bidding on it
was the smarter play.
That I did, but I didn't mean as going as yourself, did I?
What do think the idea was
of going down to the docks,
pretending to be someone else?
I was trying to teach you a lesson.
Now, if you're going to continue down this vigilante path,
Master Bruce,
you've got to learn how to assume...
other roles.
Play the role
that you were born to play.
That of a privileged, somewhat...
pedantic teenager with deeper pockets
than anybody else in this city.
You mean behave like a spoiled brat.
It goes against everything that your beautiful parents
tried to ingrain in you.
But yes...
sir.
Bruce Wayne...
...billionaire brat.
$250,000!
AUCTIONEER: $250,000 going once,
twice... sold
to Mr. Bruce Wayne.
Ha-ha! That's what I'm talkin' about.
I love art.
I love it, yeah!
I'm gonna put it in my, uh, in my bathroom.
(crowd murmuring)
ALFRED: Steady on, Master Bruce.
Let's not overplay our hand, shall we?
I must admit, this is fun.
And try to exercise a modicum of financial restraint.
Technically, you are the richest man
in the room, but let's not try and buy
absolutely everything, shall we?
True, but if I only bid on the knife
everyone's been trying to steal from Penguin,
it might draw his suspicion.
If I go on a spending spree,
recklessly throwing my money around,
he won't think twice.
Nice. When'd you think of that?
Improvisation, Alfred.
It's a weapon in any actor's tool kit.
Oh, heads up.
Here we go.
Oswald, my friend!
Bruce Wayne, what a lovely surprise.
You certainly are getting out
quite a lot these days, aren't you?
The way I see it, everyone else in this town is having fun.
- Why shouldn't I? - I agree!
You and your insanely large bank account
are more than welcome here.
(both laugh)
Barbara Kean.
I thought she died.
Unfortunately, nobody stays dead in this town.
Excuse me.
You do realize, don't you, Master Bruce,
that if you actually win,
Ra's al Ghul will come after the knife.
Let him.
AUCTIONEER: The next item up for auction
is an embalming knife
from the tomb of King Balahsi of Sumeria.
Opening bid will begin at $50,000.
BARBARA: A hundred...
thousand dollars.
What does she want with it?
I have no idea.
Stay focused.
$100,000 to Ms. Kean.
- Do I hear one... - One hundred thousand
- and one dollar. - (laughter)
Actually, Mr. Wayne, the bidding amounts are in $50,000...
- $200,000. - Fine.
We have $200,000.
Two hundred thousand
and one dollar.
(laughter)
BARBARA: Mr. Wayne.
How about you let someone else have some fun?
Oh! Sure.
No problem. I'm sorry about that.
- $300,000. - Very well. Three hundred...
$300,000 and one cent.
(laughter)
$500,000.
Now back off, you little brat.
Wow, Ms. Kean.
That's a lot of money.
For someone like you.
- $2 million! - (attendees gasping)
BARBARA: Two...
Sold to Mr. Bruce Wayne.
- (laughs) - (applause)
(laughs)
Congratulations, Bruce.
Thank you.
(laughing): I do love seeing that woman lose.
But a little piece of friendly advice.
Barbara Kean does not give up easily.
She'll be coming for that knife.
I would just, uh, keep a close eye on it if I were you.
Well, there's a new wrinkle, isn't it?
What's green and red and goes round and round?
(both chuckle)
Someone's obsessed with the color red. (laughs)
The answer, obviously, isn't "newspaper."
You're stalling.
(laughs) No.
- You don't know the answer. - Of course I do.
No, you don't, Ed.
(gasps)
- Mm-hmm. - Your brilliant mind is as damaged
as the rest of your body.
Actually,
my body is feeling fine.
Frog in a blender.
BRUCE: Selina?
Why are you sitting in the dark by yourself?
I was expecting someone else.
- Like who? - Doesn't matter.
What are you doing here?
Heard about Penguin's auction.
So Barbara sent you for the knife.
Figured, what, because we're friends, I'd just hand it over?
Something like that.
- Why is it so important to her? - How should I know?
She was supposed to get it for some client.
Said he was a pretty dangerous guy.
And that if you were smart,
you'd hand it over and save yourself the trouble.
So you're here to protect me, is that it?
The knife can't possibly mean that much to you, Bruce.
I don't know.
Like you said, I spent $2 million on it, I think I'll keep it.
Why are you acting like this?
Me? What about you?
Are you really Barbara Kean's errand girl now?
I'm her partner.
But if I don't give her this knife back,
she won't ever see me as an equal.
So I'm asking you to do me a solid.
I'm sorry, Selina.
You should go.

Oh, yeah? How's that?
Penguin.
Oh, I know you didn't directly ask me,

seeing the simple solution even when it's presented to them.
You shouldn't have come back here.
Oh, Jim.
(exhales) I don't need your permission.
Or my father's.
I'm a Falcone.
This city is my birthright.
My father might not think I'm ready, but I am.
Is that so?
What do you think I've been doing down south
the past ten years?
You knew you were coming back
from the moment I left your father's house.
Everything that's happened was what?
You sizing me up?
No.
Not everything.
But I had to get to know you if we're gonna work together.
We're not.
Don't be sore, Jim.
You came looking for a gangster, that's exactly what you found.
We can do great things together, you and I.
I'll be in touch.
You?
You were the one who stole from me?
MYRTLE: Some good it did.
The ice broke his brain.
What are you talking about?
What's green and red and goes round and round?
Frog in a blender.
Exactly.
Ed couldn't even get that.
Hmm.
It does seem unlike Ed to keep this rube alive.
Sound the word: I want him found.
And her?
A lot of people have been trying to steal from me lately.
An example needs to be made.
Have fun, Victor.

Excellent technique, Barbara.

Does that mean you don't have the knife?
No, Bruce Wayne has it.
Bruce.
Really?
How interesting.
You're not angry?
No, not at all.
You see, Barbara,
when I bathed you in the Lazarus Pit,
I did it in the knowledge that you would become
a competent ally of mine.
And so far,
you've done an admirable job.
I'm glad you feel that way.
And I wouldn't worry about that knife.
Didn't seem all that special to me.
Oh, but you couldn't be more wrong.
You see,
that knife is the key to everything.
Well, not everything.
