(PANTING CONTINUES)

(GASPS)

CULTIST : There she is.
CULTIST : Get her.

Sorry, boys, but Goldie's mine now.

(GRUNTS)

(SNARLING)

(GROWLING)

Nice kitty.

Nice kitty.

That's a good boy. Yeah.

Ta-ta, guys.
And don't worry about Goldie here.

She's gonna love her new home.

(BLOWS KISS)

(ROAR)

(GRUNTING IN FEAR)

Get her. No matter what it takes.

(g*nshots)

Look, guys, fun is fun,
but enough already.

How about I give this statue back,
say I'm sorry

and we forget the whole thing?

(g*nshots)

Too late for that. It's been defiled.

And the only way to sanctify it
is with blood.

And that'd be mine, huh? No, thanks.

(GROANS)

(GROWLS)

(GROANS)

We're locksmiths, I swear.

Yeah. And the masks are
a fashion statement.

Give us a break. (SCREAMS)

(CAPE RUSTLING)

(INDISTINCT GRUNTS)

Mmm. About time you got here.

Let me guess. You needed
a warm place to spend the night.

Kind of.

I know of one.

Jail.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Same old self-righteous stiff.

It doesn't look like you've
changed much, either, Selina.

But I have. I've been through
a lot in the last month

and I can tell you
that jail's not the place for me.

- I wouldn't be safe there.
- Safe from what?

- (g*nshots)
- Next question.

Argh!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(BATMAN GRUNTS)

And you can't get rid of them.
They're like old boyfriends or warts.

- And you figured I'd save your skin.
- That's what you do, isn't it?

Normally. But it'll cost you.

Mmm. What do you have in mind?

Everything you've ever stolen.
It all goes back to the owners.

You're crazy. That's my life's work
you're talking about.

All right, then.

We got a deal. Drive!

BATMAN: It's some kind of cult.
CATWOMAN: Some detective.

- I could have told you that.
- It began in ancient Egypt.

The cult worshiped cats,

and one of their holiest rites
was theft.

Wait a minute. Cat worship? Theft?
Those guys should be praying to me.

Not likely.

This man, Thomas Blake.
He's their leader.

A major-league psycho.
Lives for revenge.

Kind of cute.

You're in over your head
this time, Selina.

- Way over.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(CATWOMAN GASPS)

(GROANS)

(HISSING)

Come on. I know a way out.

- Selina, where does this lead?
- Never mind. Just hurry.

- Where are we?
- The furnace. And there's your exit.

I have my own, thanks.

Not exactly the easiest way out.

Yeah. But it'll never occur
to those idiots.

Light it, but first turn up the gas.
All the way.

What's that?

(GASPS)

(FIREBALL ROARING)

(BATMAN GRUNTING)

(EFFORT GRUNTS)

Selina?

Selina?

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(GASPS)

(GROANS)

(GASPS)

(CHAINS RATTLING)

I should k*ll you, you know.
There's no reason not to.

I could give you one or two.

No one's ever eluded us
for as long as you did.

- What's your secret?
- What's yours?

No one's ever chased me
as long as you did.

Normally I like men
who don't know when to quit, but--

We're deeply committed to our faith.

Ah, yes. Your faith.
Why don't you tell me all about it?

She's stalling.

(GASPS)

- Let's k*ll her and be done with it.
- (CAT YOWLS)

(HISSING)

She asked about our faith.
That's the first step toward conversion.

- And conversion's good for the soul.
- (MEOWS)

Not to mention the body.

- BATMAN: Tell me where Catwoman is.
- What... Where are you?

BATMAN: Wrong answer.

You're fond of cats, aren't you?
Maybe you'll like my favorite animal.

(BATS SCREECHING)

(SCREAMS)

(GRUNTING AND SCREAMING)

(GASPS IN FEAR)

All right, I'll tell you.

CATWOMAN: So, you see, I've always
loved cats, and always loved stealing.

It's like I was one of you
all along without even knowing it.

Rubbish. You're just a common thief.

(GASPS AND SCREAMS)

I'm a spectacular thief.

(GRUMBLES)

Can't you tell?
She doesn't care about our faith.

- She's just trying to save her skin.
- We'll soon find out how sincere she is.

Yeah, you will.
What are you talking about?

- Our initiation.
- You mean, like, membership oaths

and fees and all that?

There's considerably more to it.
Are you interested?

- Very.
- Excellent.

The initiation will be in one hour.

You won't regret joining us.

Yes, I'm certain
I'll be getting a lot out of it.

You know, it's a two-way street.

And an hour's a long time.

Thomas, I need that time to get
into the mood for the initiation.

I'm sure there'll be
opportunities later.

Lots of opportunities.

- BATMAN: Selina.
- GASPS)

What are you doing here?

What do you think? Now, come on.

CATWOMAN: Um, I appreciate the effort.

But I've got
everything under control. Really.

- Then what are you still doing here?
- I, uh...

I don't believe it. You're going to try
to steal from them again, aren't you?

I see it more
like teaching them a lesson.

You're the one
who needs to learn something.

These people are too dangerous.

Hmph!

Even for Catwoman.

- What's that for?
- You, unless you come to your senses.

(TEARFULLY) What's wrong with me?
Why can't I stop stealing?

(GASPS) Oh!

Selina, now's not the time.

Will you help me?

You're the only person
I've ever been able to trust.

I'll do what I can,
but right now we have to--

Mmm.

Now can we go?

(GRUNTS)

Ah!

Gotta get you out of here.

(EFFORT GRUNTS)

I heard a noise.

What's he doing here?

He... He tried to rescue me.

Didn't have much luck, did he?

- No more than usual.
- We need blood to sanctify the statue.

Our prayers are answered.
Take him downstairs.

- What's downstairs?
- You'll see.

- But what about my initiation?
- There's no need for that now.

You've just proven yourself.
You're one of us.

(GRUNTING)

THOMAS: Looking for this?

I wanted to make sure
the odds would be fair.

(ROARING)

- THOMAS: He's anxious to meet you.
- One of your cats?

For you, Batman, our ultimate cat.

Our geneticists have been working
on this project for years.

You're about to see what
some judicious gene-splicing can do.

Nice kitty-kitty. Nice kitty.

Stop it. Right now.

(LAUGHS)

(INDISTINCT CROWD CHATTER)

Get 'em.

(CROWD SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

What are you just standing there for?
Help me up.

- And how do I get up?
- I'll... I'll help you.

After what I just did for you,
you don't trust me?

I might have been
knocked out twice tonight

but I still have my long-term memory.

(SIGHS)

Come on.

(THOMAS SCREAMS)

Code six, North Avenue, .

(ROARING)

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

- The cat will go to Gotham Zoo?
- I expect.

I'd like to see
those cultists in the tiger cage, too.

But the law says
they're entitled to a trial.

You've got plenty of stolen goods
in there for evidence.

There's enough to convict them,
but it's not as much as you'd expect.

Oh.

SELINA: Beluga or Sevruga?

Aw, the heck with it.

You know, !sis, I had no idea
being on the right side of the law

could be so satisfying.
I guess virtue is its own reward.
