S01E02 - Broken Nose
Don't touch it, sir. Or wrinkle it by frowning...
...You may have two black eyes tomorrow, but it ought to stay straight.
Never can tell.
Does it hurt very much?
Only when I smile.
Here...
...Take two of these every eight hours.
What are they?
Toradol, ten milligrams. Pain killers.
Don't worry. They won't slow you down or unhinge you.
Thanks.
I don't believe I've ever seen you with a broken nose before.
It's never been broken before.
Pardon me for saying so, sir... But for someone in your profession...
...Isn't your first broken nose a little like losing your virginity?
Very funny, Alfred.
You can moonlight as a comedian with your stand-up routine.
Well, be careful, sir.
Sure... Just leave a light on for me.
Soon enough I'm back in Industrial Park.
Mabuse is here somwhere, a geek in a trashcan.
Earlier he smacked my nose flat when I tried to take him down.
A string of high level robberies. Took in something like three mil so far.
Fornt-page headline stuff. Noisy.
When you have a seven-foot-tall robot suit, why do things in a small way?
Sloppy crook, though.
His tendency to speechify made him dawdle.
...Enabling me to follow him.
Batman!
So... Back again for another pounding, are we?
You're going up the river, Mabuse.
Either you come along peacefully, or I carry you.
Surely you must be joking!
I'll crush you like a hat!
...Looks like I carry you.
Moves fast for a mug in a junk-suit.
Our last scuff was over in just two minutes.
Busted my nose.
Humiliating.
No Muhammad Ali theatrics for me...
But two minutes was long enough to get in close to him...
...Observe him.
Study his fight style. Catalogue his movements.
Figure it all out.
Like how he gets in and out of the armor to use the John.
Two hundred pounds of micro engineered stainless steel exoskeleton, wrapped around a man...
...And all it takes to pop the lid is a little phillips head.
Jiggle it like a car door...
...And lo! The oyster loses its shell.
Batman... Okay...
I...
Okay, you got me. I give.
I... Hey...
Hey--Batman! I surrender!
I said I give!
Batman! I--but--don't--
...Ow.
...Forgot.
- "...Don't smile. Don't smile..." - By dose--You broke by dose...
He said not to smile...
Nuts.
- C'mon, Mabuse. - By dose...
They got most of the money back...
He bought three snakeskin suits, a purple mink fur hat, and a new lexus.
He ate and drank up about five hundred dollars' worth.
The rest was back in the bank the next business day.
Ow...
A broken nose for a broken nose...
I went home and took two more pain killers.
