- Max: Specs on this model say the signal has a range of only two miles.
- Batman: Well, how does that help us find the bomb?
- Max: This is why you should try to pay attention in geometry, McGinnis. Look: he reset the timer once here, where you met him; he was going to meet you at the park, so he would have had to set it there. And he must have set it at least once from the hotel...
- [the radii from the 3 points overlap in only one small area]
- Max: And voila! Math is once again your friend.
- Batman: Max, it's me. Any luck with Bruce?
- Max: The satcom's down for at least another hour. I got the computer running an automated search just in case.
- Batman: Why? Aren't you at home? Max, what's going on?
- Max: Let's just say I'm doing a little search myself.
- Batman: Tell me you didn't go to his hotel room. This isn't a game, Max. I want you out of there, now!
- Max: Hey, your suit doesn't give you barking rights over me, McGinnis. Besides, as long as you've got your eye on him, I don't see the danger.
- [she gasps as Curare attacks]
- Batman: Max! What's happening?
- Max: How much time do we have?
- Terry McGinnis: Curare's last sighting puts her at least three hours away. I'm gonna meet Mutro outside his hotel in about half an hour.
- Max: What's the plan?
- Terry McGinnis: He's the bait. When she shows, I'll get in between them. This bomb business could get bad. I'm gonna need your help, Max.
- Max: You know you can count on me, Ter. What do you want me to do?
- Terry McGinnis: You've gotta find a way to contact my partner.
- Max: [disappointed] Oh.
- Terry McGinnis: You know, I never really told you his name.
- Max: Wait, let me guess. Just a shot in the dark here. Could it be... Bruce Wayne?
- Terry McGinnis: I guess it wasn't very hard to figure out.
- Max: Like, the first day.
- Batman: I'm here. Above you.
- Mutro Botha: I don't see you.
- Batman: You're not supposed to.
- [turning off his suit's invisibility booster]
- Batman: Feel better?
- Mutro Botha: I'll feel a lot better when we're out in the open. I don't like enclosed spaces. Not when I'm the quarry.
- Mutro Botha: When you prevented Curare from killing her target, the punishment for her failure was death. Unfortunately, we underestimated her. She fought back. One by one, she hunted us down. I am the only one left. And you are the only one who can keep me that way.
- Batman: And why should I care to?
- Mutro Botha: Because when she has finished me, she will come after you.
- Batman: Thanks for the warning. I'll be sure to look for your name in the obits.
- Mutro Botha: I thought you might feel that way. So I took the liberty of providing a little incentive. I've planted a bomb in your city. A rather large one. Set to go off unless it receives a properly-guided signal from me every 12 hours.
- [Batman knocks him down and takes it]
- Mutro Botha: Go ahead. Take it. It won't do you any good. Only I know the codes. I'm not an unreasonable man. You help me defeat Curare, and I'll disarm the bomb. If not, if Curare gets to me first, boom! Gotham experiences a sudden population decline.
- Mutro Botha: [firing on the Batmobile] No need for violence. I was merely trying to get your attention.
- Batman: You've got it. Who are you?
- Mutro Botha: Mutro Botha, at your service. For a price, of course.
- Batman: Botha. I've heard of you. You're a member of the Society of Assassins.
- Mutro Botha: I *am* the Society of Assassins
- [Batman draws a batarang]
- Mutro Botha: No need for that. If my mission had been to kill you, you would be dead already. No member of the Society has ever failed.
- Batman: Except one.
- Mutro Botha: Yes, because you stepped in to stop her. In a way, this is all your fault.
- Assassin Leader: The Society of Assassins trained us both well, Curare. No one can match your skill with that sword.
- [throwing a ninja star]
- Assassin Leader: But I'll never let you get close enough to use it.
- Batman: Mutro, Curare's at the hotel. My friend's there.
- Mutro Botha: Then your friend is already gone.
- Batman: I have to go back!
- Mutro Botha: Fool.
- Terry McGinnis: Well, that's about two square blocks. If we had a couple of days, we might be able to find the bomb.
- Max: Wait. I've got Mutro's cash card. It'll tell us where he's been spending money in the last few days.
- [scanning it]
- Max: This is the only location inside the highlighted area. And he's visited it twice. That's gotta be where it is.
- Terry McGinnis: The Gotham Museum of Armaments?
- Max: What better place to hide a weapon than a place that's filled with 'em?
- Mutro Botha: I'm in Gotham.
- Assassin Leader: Have you located the target?
- Mutro Botha: Not yet. It's not easy when you're always looking over your shoulder.
- Assassin Leader: You're letting your fears make you too cautious.
- Mutro Botha: Me? You're the one who's spent the last three months in the air, afraid to land anywhere because she might find you.
- Assassin Leader: She already got to Carima.
- Mutro Botha: No!
- Assassin Leader: In Lisbon, three days ago. We're the only two left.
- Max: So, the big guy's in Malaysia?
- Batman: Yep. Taking care of some personal business.
- Max: You do know they've just had a major typhoon in that area.
- Batman: Yeah. No way for him to give me any orders. Now, ain't that a shame?
- Max: Aren't you worried?
- Batman: Believe me, Max, this is not a man you worry about.
- Max: I wasn't talking about him.
- Batman: Hey, I can handle Gotham for a few nights without his help.
- [the Batmobile is fired upon]
- Batman: Whoa! That almost scratched the paint job.
- Terry McGinnis: You ever hear the phrase "live by the sword, die by the sword"? Mutro was an assassin. He made his own bed. Besides, we got bigger things to worry about.
- Max: Ohh...
- Terry McGinnis: Feeling guilty isn't gonna help anyone. Come on, Max, what can we do with it?
- Max: [taking the device] This is a broadband transmitter. It's not gonna help us find the bomb.
- [turning it over, she sees it was developed by Wayne-Powers]
- Max: Hmm.
- Terry McGinnis: Hmm? "Hmm" is good, right?
- Mutro Botha: Batman, come in. I can't stay hidden forever. Batman!
- [hearing a rustle of bushes, he takes out a gun and fires; a ninja star knocks the gun out of his hand]
- Mutro Botha: [disarming her as she attacks] Lesson number one, Curare: always hold onto your weapon.
