TEASER

EXT. STARLING CITY STREET - DAY1 1

PROMINENT in a reasonably busy STREET SCENE is MR. BOTTOMHAM. HE comes out of a JEWELRY SHOP, bearing wrapped gifts, and strolls to his curbed towncar, as --

NARRATION (V.O.)Another sunlit day in Starling City, bright and flawless as a jewel. But-- is this perfection genuine?

Bottomham is addressing his CHAUFFEUR while getting into the car.

BOTTOMHAMShove off, Ferguson. The Lady awaits!

The chauffeur salutes, the towncar HUSHES away, as a harassed JEWELER comes charging out of his store.

JEWELERStop! Thief!

He reaches the curbs as a MOTORCYCLE COP VAROOMS up.

JEWELER(waving bill of currency)

Follow that car!

The jeweler jumps on the back of he bike, then QUICK PAN the bike as it takes off after the towncar with HOWL of siren.

EXT. STARLING CITY - STREET CORNER - DAY2 2

As SOUND of siren increases the towncar comes around the corner, stops NEAR CAMERA. Next, cop and jeweler come shooting around the corner, halt next to towncar with dying SOUND of siren. They get off the bike, Mr. Bottomham watching them from his window.

FEATURE BOTTOMHAM IN CAR WINDOW

He is totally on his dignity.

BOTTOMHAMYou, Officer, were speeding.

ANGLE ON CAR

(CONTINUED)

As jeweler and cop reach it.

JEWELER(waving bill)

You, sir, paid me in counterfeit!

BOTTOMHAM(appalled)

Do you know who I am?!

COPYou are Mr. Bottomham, respected President of our Crime-Does-Not-Pay-Well Association, and you are under arrest.

BOTTOMHAMPreposterous!

COP(To chauffeur)

Right. Follow me to the station.

The improbable looking caravan takes off down the street.

INT. SCPD PRECINCT - DAY3 3

LANCE hands LT. PIKE a bill of currency. Pike takes it with a touch of resignation --

LT. PIKEAnother one?

Pike wearily places the bill on a staggering pile of other bills on his desk.

LANCEWhats the meaning of all this, Lieutenant?

LT. PIKEIt means, Officer Lance, there is an unknown criminal afoot.

LANCE(pointing))

But that phony money was passed by the Mr. Bottomham!

ARROW 000 "Two-Face" Production Draft 4/1/14 2.CONTINUED:2 2

(CONTINUED)

LT. PIKEClearly, more victim than culprit. The pillars of our society, as well as common folk like you and I, have been inundated with counterfeit.

LANCEInundated?

LT. PIKEAnd not by any run-of-the-mill counterfeit operation.

Picking up one of the bills from the pile on the desk --

LT. PIKEThese bills are genuine--

LANCEOn one side.

LT. PIKEIndeed. And fake on the other. As if some deranged mind were trying to taunt the sanity of our monetary system!

LANCEIt does sort of boggle the mind.

With a significant look at the Chief,

LT. PIKEOur minds, Officer Lance. But when at the end of reason, let us be thankful that we can call upon --

LANCEThe Arrow!

INT. QUEEN MANSION - SITTING ROOM - DAY4 4

MOIRA sits comfortably knitting as OLIVER, book in hand, is tutoring ROY --

OLIVERAnd now, in scientific consideration of monetary matters, we come to Greshams Law --


(CONTINUED)

ROY(adroitly)

Which states that bad money tends to drive good money out of circulation.

MOIRAGoodness! Who would ever want to pass a law like that?!

The Duos response is interrupted by the appearance of DIGGLE who approaches Oliver with a significant look --

DIGGLEYour conference call, sir.

OLIVEROf course!

(to Moira)Concerning a legal conference which Roy and I want to attend.

Oliver and Roy EXIT, CAMERA on Moira and Diggle --.

MOIRASuch dedication! And such energy! Oliver is a fine influence on Roy, and I couldnt be more pleased.

DIGGLE(little reflexive sigh)

Yes, Mrs. Queen. The days of youth are indeed the days of glory.

INT. SCPD PRECINCT - ROOFTOP - NIGHT5 5

The Arrow and Roy (in his hoodie and mask) meet with Lance. Roy is rifling through the counterfeit bills --

ROYHoly Jackpot! Look at that loot!

ARROWNever say Holy Anything ever again. Youll get us in trouble with starling.

LANCEEither way, the moneys all counterfeit.

ARROWAny clue as to the source?


(CONTINUED)

LANCE(lifting a slip of paper)

Since calling you, Ive received this intelligence from the office of my Counterfeit Comptroller.

(glances at the slip)The chief source of the counterfeit outflow seems to be-- our own Starling City Bank!

Arrow shoots a quick look at Roy, then back at Lance, controlled.

ARROWWhose Chairman of the Board is Oliver Queen.

LANCEThe young millionaire philanthropist of Starling City, and my friend.

ARROW(gravely)

He is fortunate to have such a friend as you.

ROY(impulsively)

Anyway, its certainly some kind of dastardly plot!

The Arrow begins to pace thoughtfully...

ARROWYes. Im convinced of that.

LANCETo discredit young millionaire Queen? Preposterous!

ARROWThe scheme, I suspect, is much more devious than that.

LANCEIm thinking a straight-forward call to Mister Queen himself...

ARROWIt seems the proper thing to do.

Lance produces his phone and begins to TEXT, under --


(CONTINUED)

ARROWDealing with the devious. It is sometimes best to work backwards.

ROYInstead of working from cause to effect, we start from the effect towards the cause!

LANCEWhy-- of course!

ARROWAnd the effect has been?

LANCEShattered confidence in our currency.

ARROWThere, at least in part, we have the purpose behind the act.

ROYAnd by a very learned mind, I think. He knows Greshams Law about bad currency driving out good money.

ARROWUnfortunately, excellence of mind is no guarantee for excellence in moral fiber.

LANCEYou must be talking about a split personality.

ROYYes, most super criminals are deranged creatures, in dire need of help.

He picks up the bills, examines them.

ARROWHere too I observe a conflict. One side is good, one side is bad.

Roy follows suit turning a bill from side to side.

ARROW 000 "Two-Face" Production Draft 4/1/14 6.CONTINUED: (2)5 5

(CONTINUED)

ROYTwo Faces--good, bad-- genuine, false-- TWO-FACE!

ARROW(reciting)

Two-Face: An advances genius with retarded moral development. The wiliest, most slippery...

Lances phone beeps with a REPLY TEXT. He consults his screen --

LANCETo a legal talk he went, that young Mr. Queen. And at a time like this.

ROY(impatient)

And we wont catch our fish either, just talking about him.

LANCEBut where will you start?

ARROWFishing? From the bank, Detective!

As Duo EXITS...

INT. TWO-FACES LAIR - DAY6 6

The room reflects Two-Faces duality. One half is modern, the other primitive like a log cabin. TWO-FACE ENTERS, surveying his quarters with satisfaction. In the process he reveals that his attire is also halved: One side is a formal cutaway, the other baggy tweeds. FOUR ROBOTS ENTER with him and range themselves side by side near the door. They constitute his gang. Somewhat smaller than average (to emphasize their later feats of strength) they are similarly bland- faced, and indicate their mechanical nature by a slight stiffness of motion. HORACE and HELMUT wear halved clothes, like Two-Face. HANK wears a cutaway, HERBERT wears baggy tweeds. Two-Face now sits down at a console of dials, coils, and viewing piece, the whole thing labeled, Roving Robot Recorder. As soon as he sits down he looks OS. When he speaks his choice of expression and delivery is (and will in future be) typically mixed; formal, colloquial; verbose, short, etc.

TWO-FACEGently, my sweet Facilia.

Typical switch.


(CONTINUED)

TWO-FACENona your clumsiness!

Girlfriend FACILIA, in shapely overexposure, comes bounding into VIEW. She is indeed clumsy, knocks into the nearest robot who collapses, domino fashion -- a successive tipping of the other robots. Collapse is averted by a last minute reverse push from Two-Face. When the robots stand straight and mute again the one nearest Facilia starts jerkily raising an arm with internal SOUNDS of CHUGGING and WHEEZING. As Facilia shrinks, Two-Face deactivates the robot with a CONK on the head.

TWO-FACEDown, Hank!

FACILIA(squeamish)

Two-Face, baby, why do you have to keep these creaky creepers around?

FACING with his formal side,

TWO-FACEBecause of their perfectly programmed Loyalty, sweet Facilia.

He turns to show HIS HSABBY SIDE AND --

TWO-FACE(confidentially)

Cant trust humans. Two-faced, every one of em.

Facilia is not comforted.

FACILIAI dont like it here, with them creeping around. How can a person keep their cool? We gonna fade pretty soon?

TWO-FACE(declamatory)

When shall we two fade again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain? No! When the hurly-burlys done --

(typical switch)Like, when we gets the money, honey!

He claps his hand.


(CONTINUED)

TWO-FACEHank! A ceremonial watusi, if you please!

The robot in cutaway instantly goes to turn on a phonograph, causing a raucous watusi to BLARE forth. Facilia and Two-Face assume the stance for a moment and commence with slow and stately gyrations.

FACILIABut you didnt say when the hurly-burlys done -- whatever that means, Toofee.

TWO-FACEIt means the first part of my plan: A chaos of currency!

FACILIAAnd then we get the for-real type money?

TWO-FACEAs planned.

He stops dancing, Facilia following suit. Two-Face waves at Hank the robot.

TWO-FACEHank! A surge of silence, if you please!

Hank instantly turns off the music. Two-Face, switching form imperious to familiar,

TWO-FACELets give a gander how Hubert is making out at the bank.

He sits down at the Roving Robot Recorder, turns dials, looks through the eyepiece of the gadget.

INT. STARLING CITY BANK - DAY7 7

Arrow and Roy are listening to the VICE PRESIDENT of the bank, so identified by sign on his desk.

VICE PRESIDENT(anxiously)

Im so glad youre here, Arrow. Counterfeit coming from this bank! That has never been our function!


(CONTINUED)

ARROWI was certain of that. Tell me, have there been any recent changes in personnel?

VICE PRESIDENTOur Miss Pruit left. About fifteen years ago.

ARROWAnything more extremely recent?

VICE PRESIDENTOnly a temporary substitution. Our Chief Teller did not come to work this morning, but he sent a Mr. Hubert.

Directing the Duos attention, he points O.S.

WHAT THEY SEE --

Behind the row of tellers cages stands HUBERT the robot. He is dressed in cutaway and counts money across the cage with precise efficiency.

ARROW(O.S.)He had references?

VICE PRESIDENT (O.S.)Of course!

BACK TO ARROW, ROY, VICE PRESIDENT --

They are contemplatively watching Hubert as --

VICE PRESIDENTThere were so many, we are still filing them.

ARROW(to Roy)

Notice anything peculiar?

ROYSuch perfection!

ARROWAlmost to an inhuman degree --

He starts to walk towards Hubert.

REAR OF TELLERS CAGES --


(CONTINUED)

Arrow is walking towards Hubert, Roy following eagerly.


Two-Face, eye glued to his Roving Robot Recorder, gives a start.

TWO-FACEWhat art thou, that usurps this time of day? Hood or Arrow --

(typical switch)Just beat it, willja?

As he declaims, Facilia walks up.

FACILIABeat what, Toofee?

TWO-FACEArrow! Im worried about Hubert.

Two-Face suddenly jerks back from the eyepiece, clapping a hand over one eye.

TWO-FACEYEEOW! That hooded freak touched the viewing lens!


Arrow is withdrawing his finger from Huberts collar button.

ARROWWhat an interesting collar button.

ROYIt kind of stares at you, doesnt it?

Hubert, throughout, preserves his cool. At most, he register disdain for the intrusion and tries to commence his money disbursement, when Arrow smiles engagingly.

ARROWI say. Do you know why a collar button is like a heavy type of smoke?

Roy is temporarily puzzled, Hubert merely blinks.

ARROWThey both choke!


(CONTINUED)

For two beats, Arrow waits expectantly, but then -- with a startling change in mien -- he darts his hand at Huberts nose and TWISTS!

FEATURE ARROW, PAST HUBERT

Hubert in MOS is seen from the back. (In this SHOT his visible head and shoulders are a dummy). With Arrows hand extended to the dummys face there is a loud TWANG as Huberts head flips open! Arrow scoops his hand into the open brainpan, comes up with a veritable mess of coil springs.


Two-Face sits at his Ranging Robot Recorder as before when TWANG, SIZZLE, POOF! The machine blows its various innards with a spectacular display of smoke. Two-Face leaps up --

TWO-FACE(wailing)

Murder most foul, strange, and unnatural! He killed Hubert!


As Vice President arrives, Arrow is holding the mess of springs in his hand, Huber (a dummy) stands inert, Roy giggles.

ROYHoly Clockworks! A mechanical marvel!

(catching Arrows look)Sorry.

ARROWCleverly humanized to spread counterfeit currency from this bank.

VICE PRESIDENTBut how did you know Mr. Hubert was a robot?

ARROWI told him a rather amusing joke. When he didnt laugh, I was certain. As you knew, robots dont have much of a sense of humor.

VICE PRESIDENTAnd you think he was placed here by our own Chief Teller?


(CONTINUED)

At that moment the strident SOUND of an alarm device.

VICE PRESIDENTThe Vault Air Supply Alarm!

The Duo is already dashing off to investigate.

DOOR OF VAULT --

The circular door is shut. A dial is mounted next to it, calibrated from 1 to 10, labeled: Vault Air Supply. The hand of the gauge is descending visibly towards the redline which extends from #2 to Zero. The Duo plus Vice President halt by the dial. Arrow points.

ARROWSomeone in there is using up the available air supply.

Meanwhile, Roy has started to yank on the vaults locking wheel.

VICE PRESIDENTNo use. Once shut, the mechanism only opens after twenty four hours.

At this point the needle on the dial jumps to #1 and the SOUND of the alarm changes to a staccato WHEEZING.

ARROWHe is reaching the suffocation point!

ARROWAnd after suffocation --

(points to zero)-- comes death!

Arrow is applying a DRILL ARROW to the vault door. As it WHIRRS he looks up at the dial.

ARROWIll try to drill an airhole!

ROYYou think its the Chief Teller in there?

ARROW(nods)

No doubt placed there by robot Hubert.


(CONTINUED)

CS - DRILL ARROW

Intense WHIRRING as the drill produces nothing but smoke on steel.

ARROW (O.S.)Theres not enough time!

ON AIR DIAL, PAST ARROW

Needle jumps to a point below #1. The WHEEZING diminishes.

ARROW(to Roy)

Theres just one chance. Quickly, the robot!

ANOTHER ANGLE

Arrow continues drilling gamely while Roy fetches a limp Hubert (dummy) into VIEW. Arrow plunges his hand into the open skull, manipulates rapidly --

ARROWOur only chance-- To reactivate the relays on super power setting - MY knowledge of Power Plugs might just be sufficient --

Arrow SLAMS the skull lid shut and Hubert begins to HUM.

NEW ANGLE --

As Hubert (actor) straighten up, stalks to the vault door, starts pulling on the locking wheel. Arrow darts a glance at the Air Dial.

WHAT HE SEES:

The needle has reached Zero and trembles there.

ROY (O.S.)Holy Horsepower!

(adding)Sorry.

Simultaneously the needle twirls up to #10 with a HISS of air.

BACK TO ARROW, ROY, HUBERT, VICE PRESIDENT --


(CONTINUED)

The three humans tare in amazement as Hubert, with a SOUND of tearing metal, staggers backwards with the entire center section of the vault door ripping out!

ARROWQuick, Speedy! Get Chief teller, while I deactivate the robot!

While Roy leaps into the vault Arrow opens robots (dummy) brain lid, pulls out springs. Dummy falls over limp.

NEW ANGLE

Roy darts the faint CHIEF TELLER into the open, puts him to the ground. Arrow kneels by him.

ARROWAre you alright?

CHIEF TELLER(weakly)

Little short of breath--

ARROWBreathe deeply. It will relieve the symptoms.

He rises.

ANOTHER ANGLE:

The Vice President approaches gratefully.

VICE PRESIDENT Thank you, Speedy, thank you, Arrow. Thanks to you knowledge of robotomy...

ARROW(waving him off)

Our knowledge is never sufficient. Speedy...?

Roy is lifting the robot.

ROYYes, Arrow?

ARROWWe must examine the robot for further clues which might lead us to his Maker-- whom I strongly suspect to be Two-Face!


(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

(beat)To the Foundry!

Carrying the robot (dummy) they EXIT quickly.


Two-Face, in a high state of agitation, kicks his defunct, faintly smoking Ranging Robot Recorder.

TWO-FACEOh what a rogue and peasant slave you are!

(typical switch)Except you dont work like one!

Facilia approaches with innocent concern.

FACILIAAnything wrong, Toofee?

He is instantly calmed.

TWO-FACEYeah. Hubert just died again.

FACILIAThat Hubert. The way he keeps dying.

Her glance strays as she blinks.

FACILIAThen how come he keeps walking around, Toofee?

TWO-FACE(distracted)

Please, stupid. Dead robots dont walk.

Nevertheless, he too looks O.S., then GASPS.

WHAT HE SEES:

ON the box-like, Portable Robot Retriever (so labeled) with knobs and a TV type of screen which is grey at the moment, except for a moving dot of light.

TWO-FACE (O.S.)(ecstatic)

His Retriever Signal is working!


ARROW (CONT'D)

(CONTINUED)

ON TWO FACE

He is running to the Portable Robot Retriever

TWO-FACESomebody is moving dear, departed Hubert around!

He bends over the box and CLICKS one of the switches.

WHAT HE SEES:

The grey screen becomes the image of the Bank Entrance with our Duo cum limp Hubert (dummy) emerging. The light dot moves with them superimposed.

TWO-FACE (O.S.)Arrow and Speedy! These two gravediggers!

MCS - TWO-FACE

He looks heavenward.

TWO-FACE(reverentially)

Alas, poor Hubert, I knew him well--

WIDER ANGLE --

He RISES, looking determined.

TWO-FACEAnd now, to trace the gravediggers to their catacombs!

INT. STARLING CITY BANK - ENTRANCE - DAY13 13

Arrow and Roy are stashing Hubert (dummy) into the BLACK VAN (established in Ep. 219) --

ROYWhats with this Two-Face? Have you ever seen him?

ARROWMany years ago, when he was a brilliant actor and inventor of special effects. Before he went strangely mad and became a super criminal.


(CONTINUED)

ROYIve heard, of course, that genius and madness are like twins.

ARROWIt does cause a certain amount of confusion.

EXT. TOOFMOBILE - DAY14 14

The TOOFMBILE stands parked as Two-Face and Facilia arrive on the run. The car is on the order of an old-fashioned coupe, but chiefly identified by the fact that is has a hood at each end. Two-Face with P.R.R. Box starts to get into the car.

FACILIANot that end, Toofee. Its the other end.

Two-Face reverses, sits down the other way.

TWO-FACEThe other front, Facilia. You do get confused, dont you.

Facilia jumps into the car at the other side. They drive OFF.

VARIOUS INTERCUTS - DAY

ARROW VAN GOING DOWN A STREET AND MAKING A LEFT TURN (STOCK)

TWO-FACE WATCHING THE PORTABLE ROBOT RETRIEVER

TWO-FACE (CONTD)(shouting)

Left on Mulberry Street!

Arrow AND Roy IN ARROW VAN

ROYHospital Quiet Zone ahead. Better take Decatur.

ARROWRight you are.

TWO-FACE WATCHING HIS MOVING DOT

TWO-FACE(shouting)

Detour at Decatur!


EXT. STREET CORNER - DAY15 15

The Toofmobile is tooling through a curve, almost hitting a little OLD LADY.

TWO-FACE(yells in car)

Stop this instant!

The Toofmobile jolts to a halt.

ON TWO-FACE, FACILIA, INSIDE TOOFMOBILE

He glares at her with reproach.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)Do you realize that you almost injured that lady?

Facilia looks contrite and Two-Face turns to his window.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)(to old lady O.S.)

My heartfelt apologies--

ANGLE ON TWO-FACE IN CAR WINDOW AND OLD LADY ON STREET

TWO-FACE (CONTD)I hope the shock was not too profound.

The little old lady looks flustered, looks down at the gutter.

OLD LADYI dropped my pocket book through the grate--

TWO-FACEOh!

He starts to fumble in his various pockets,

TWO-FACE (CONTD)But by all means -- You must allow me--

He hands her a fistful of bills, gives a start as he gives them a second look, tosses the bills irritably back into the car as

ARROW 000 "Two-Face" Production Draft 4/1/14 19.

(CONTINUED)

TWO-FACE (CONTD)(sotto)

Not this junk--

Then he quickly extracts further bills and hands them to the old lady with a winning smile. She takes them, Two-Face waves, as

TWO-FACE (CONTD)On with the hunt!

The Toofmobile takes off. The little old lady looks after it with a loving smile.

Two beats and an alarm starts to YAMMER. The Duo looks down at the instrument panel.

WHAT THEY SEE

A light flashes in rhythm with the YAMMER. It is labeled: Warning! Followed!

ROY (O.S.)Holy Hunting Horn!

ARROW (O.S.)That robot in the trunk must have a built-in tracking device!

ON Arrow

ARROW (CONTD)Activate Bat Deflector! Our pursuer will continue to follow the signal-- but he wont follow us!

ARROW VAN (STOCK)

The car makes a severe right turn.

TOOFMOBILE

The car makes a severe left turn.

CUT TO:

FACILIA AND TWO-FACE IN TOOFMOBILE16 16

She is steering wildly while he watches his viewing screen.


(CONTINUED)

TWO-FACE(sudden glee)

Facilia, lead your battle wagon on, Upon the left hand of the even field!

FACILIA(blase)

Thats from Julius Caesar.

TWO-FACE(exultant)

Thats to the Arrows Lair!

FACILIAIn this field?

EXT. FIELD - DAY17 17

The Toofmobile is leaving a road and bounces over a field.

ON TWO-FACE

He CLICKS a switch and is instantly transformed with ecstasy.

TWO-FACEI would pluck out the heart of the Mystery!

FACILIA (O.S.)(automatically)

Out of Hamlet.

TWO-FACEAnd into the Arrow Lair!

WHAT HE SEES

The screen now shows a hillock and there the dot stop!

TWO-FACE (O.S.) (CONTD)Stop the car!

FACILIA (O.S.)Were on the spot?

TWO-FACE (O.S.)Watch the dot.

A switch makes a CLICK and the dot is extinguished, revealing a cave entrance with a sign: ARROW LAIR. He HEAR Facilia YIP and Two-Face LAUGHING. This SOUND continues a bit into


(CONTINUED)

ON TOOFMOBILE IN FIELD

Two-Face, toting his Portable Robot Retriever, clambers out.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)Follow me on fleet-footed feet!

(typical switch)And bring that bat-busting bazooka.

He charges towards the hillock, using his screen for guidance. Facilia follows with a lengthy bazooka. Two-Face stops abruptly as a red light flashes on his box. As Facilia reaches him she looks at the screen and

FACILIAYou found it?

TWO-FACERight here!

He, too, looks at the screen.

WHAT THEY SEE

A vastly enlarged image of cave entrance with the BAT CAVE sign.

WIDE ANGLE

ON Two-Face and Facilia in filed near hillock. He starts to look around.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)Right here somewhere, that is--

Two-Face starts to freeze on something O.S. They now take a few slow steps, all the while lower and lower in posture. Stooped over, they stop.

WHAT THEY SEE

A hold in the ground, large enough to accommodate a rat. A 4 inch sign stuck over it, reading BAT CAVE.

FACILIA (O.S.)Isnt that cute.

Her hand APPEARS in SHOT and picks up the little sign.

TWO SHOT, TWO-FACE, FACILIA

She hands him the sign. Indicating the hole on the ground.


(CONTINUED)

FACILIA (CONTD)Howre you going to get in there, Toofee?

He is near apoplexy. He closes his eyes and simple HOWLS with frustration.

INT. FOUNDRY - SUBLEVEL - DAY18 18

Arrow, Roy and Diggle are grouped around an operating table on which Hubert (dummy) is lying. Arrow straightens up from his surgical task, discouraged.

ARROWNo unusual indications. We are dealing with a perfectly normal robot.

He strips off a pair of rubber gloves, ditto Roy, who slaps his down hard.

ROYNothing to help us trace the whereabouts of Two-Face!

Diggle has been fingering the robots trouser leg.

DIGGLEIf I may venture to observe, sir, the material seems more unusual than the robot.

ARROW(fingering)

Hm-- Roy! A sartorial exploratory!

The Duo now runs through a disciplined surgical procedure.

ARROW (CONTD)Seam probe.

Roy slaps the instrument into Arrows hand. Arrow probes.

ARROW (CONTD)Trouser sheers.

Same procedure. Arrow snips.

ARROW (CONTD)Specimen forceps.

Ditto. Arrow picks up a piece of cloth.


(CONTINUED)

ARROWAnd now for an examination-in-depth--

He carries the specimen to the Robot Cloth Spectrometer.

ANOTHER ANGLE, ON Arrow

He inserts the cloth in the machine, lights up a viewing screen which now reads: Composition. Turning a knob the first legend is rolled away as another one is rolled into place: 50% organic, 50% inorganic.

ROY (O.S.)Two opposites.

ON Roy AND Diggle

DIGGLEPerhaps not coincidentally the very nature of Mister Two-Face himself.

BACK TO Arrow, Roy AND Diggle IN BG

ARROWFurther breakdown --

He turns the knob which rolls up legend: Rabbit and Aluminum.

ARROW (CONTD)Most unusual combination.

DIGGLEI would say so, sir.

ARROWAnd the manufacturer is--

Ditto procedure to reveal: Woof & Warp Mills.

ARROW (CONTD)Check the starling City Distributor Index, Roy.

ROYRight!

ON Roy

As he checks Distributor Index (so labeled) and punches three buttons in rhythm with...

ROY (CONTD)Woof-- And-- Warp.


(CONTINUED)

CLUNK, the machine ejects a card. Roy reads it.

ROY (CONTD)One outlet only: Tog Furnishings.

(thinks)T. F. -- Holy Sartorials! T.F. Like in Two-Face.

ARROWTo the ARROW VAN!

ANOTHER ANGLE

As the Duo races for their car and leaps in.

INT. TOG FURNISHINGS - DAY19 19

The Duo enters, looks around.

ROYIf this is where Two-Face hangs out, why a clothing store?

ARROWRemember his theatrical background: Costumes-- Disguises-- Clothes--

ROYOf course!

WHAT THEY SEE

Left counter, old and ragged clothes. Right counter, outlandish assortment of Mod trappings. Attendant, Facilia, smiling nicely, ENTERS. Then she ogles.

FACILIAOoh! Youre that cute, arent you?

ANOTHER ANGLE

Arrow bears the salutation valiantly. Roy snickers. Facilia now points towards Roy.

FACILIA (CONTD)And you must be that wonderful, Speedy.

Roy just barely masters his indignation. Arrows turn to smile. Then the Duo walks up to the counter.

ARROWMay we look around?


(CONTINUED)

FACILIAHow about something really de rigeur. I mean, if you want to be with it.

She holds up some preposterous Mod version of an Edwardian suit.

ROY(disapproving)

With that?

FACILIAIts the scene. I mean, if you dont want to dress like a square --

She indicates the Duos clothing.

FACILIA (CONTD)--then this is whats happening.

ARROWAs a matter of fact, we prefer clothing thats less outlandish. Might we consult the haberdasher himself?

FACILIA(giggling)

Thats me. Im whats happening.

ARROWIm afraid whats happening does not meet our needs. But thank you anyway.

Facilia pouts as the Duo exits.

EXT. TOG FURNISHINGS - STORE FRONT - DAY20 20

The Duo comes out of the store, Arrow grins, Roy eager.

ROYDid you find a secret clue?

ARROW(pedagogic)

There are no female haberdashers, Roy. And the substitution of a female for a male...

ROYIs a typical Two-Face maneuver!


(CONTINUED)

Arrow nods, then looks up towards the second story.

ARROWAnd do you notice something else?

Roy looks up too.

WHAT THEY SEE

Paper posters on the wall proclaim: Condemned. Do Not Occupy.

BACK TO Arrow AND Roy

ROYAnd by the two-faced criminal logic of Two-Face, that place is not condemned, and is occupied.

ARROWUp Arrow-ropes.

They begin to climb up the building.

CUT TO:


Two-Face is at the telephone, end of conversation.

TWO-FACEWell done, Facilia.

(listens)I know he is handsome. And handsomely he shall be received!

He hands up.

NEW ANGLE

Two-Face claps his hands. His four robots appear whom he directs to range himself behind a prominent chair. He sits down and smiles to himself.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)It seems, there are more things between heaven and earth--

(typical switch)--than there ought to be.

EXT. WALL OF BUILDING - DAY - STOCK22 22

The Duo is going up the all via rope, gain a window sill.


(CONTINUED)

TWO SHOT, Arrow AND Roy

They hang on to their precarious perch.

ARROWNothing rash now. No man is all bad, Roy. I hope to reach him with kindness and reason.

ROYIf anyone can, you will, Arrow.

INT. TWO-FACES LAIR- DAY23 23

ON window. The curtains tear as the Duo leaps into the room. They land and crouch.

WHAT THEY SEE

Two-Face in his chair, grinning, his robots ranged behind him.

TWO-FACEThe posteriors of this day to you, which the rude multitude call afternoon.

He raises his hand and the robots begin to move slowly, menacingly.

ON Arrow AND Roy

ARROW(aside to Roy)

Thats from Loves Labours Lost.

ROYI dont it wont be.

Arrow now raises his hand in traditional peace greeting.

ARROWWe come as friends!

ANOTHER ANGLE, INCLUDING DUO AND TWO-FACE

Two-Face, looking curious, waves off his robots which instantly lapse into inactivity.

TWO-FACEAs what? --

(incredulous)Friends?


(CONTINUED)

He gets up and SEEN from his shabby tweed side, displays some confusion, some shyness.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)But-- Im not used to that. I mean, how could you?

ARROWSimply by appealing to your better side, Two-Face.

SEEN from his elegantly attired side, Two-Face enacts composure, and then some courtly friendliness.

TWO-FACE(reminiscent)

Ah-- Not in a very long time--(collects himself, smiles)

A lost talent, the feeling of friendliness.

Arrow begins to approach Two-Face.

ARROWWe will help you find it again.

TWO-FACEHow nice of you. I say, let me offer you some tea.

ARROWThank you, Two-Face.

Arrow places one hand on Two-Faces shoulder.

ARROW (CONTD)But first, Two-Face, we must take care of the matter of your super-criminal counterfeit plot.

SEEN from his shabby side, Two-Face visibly shrink from contact.

TWO-FACE(suspiciously)

Which me are you talking to?

ARROWThe brilliant super criminal with retarded moral development.

Seen from the elegant side, Two-Face projects megalomania.


(CONTINUED)

TWO-FACEBrilliant! Phase One: Currency Confusion. Phase Two: starling City will be forced to withdraw all monies to prevent a panic!

SEEN from his Happy side he now turns sly and grins.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)I dont think Ill tell you the rest.

ROY(to Arrow)

I think you lost him.

ARROWIts never too late!

TWO-FACEToo late to stop me now!

ROY(angry)

All the devils in hell couldnt stop us!

ON TWO-FACE

With robots in bg he now theatrically shows his formal side.

TWO-FACE(dramatically)

Hell is empty! And all the devils are here!

He waves at his robots, which is the signal for violent donnybrook.

WIDE ANGLE

As four robots swiftly move in on Arrow and Roy.

VARIOUS QUICK INTERCUTS, TITLES SUPERED

TWO ROBOTS CLOSING IN ON Arrow. HE SCATTERS THEM.

TWO ROBOTS ZEROING IN ON Roy. HIS ROUNDHOUSE, AND ONE ROBOTS HEAD FLIES OFF!

Arrow FORCED TO HIS KNEES BY A ROBOT.

Roy REACTING TO ArrowS PLIGHT


(CONTINUED)

Roy SOLICITOUSLY REPLACING THE FALLEN HEAD ON ROBOT.

Arrow AND Roy SCATTERING THREE ROBOT ASSAILANTS. VICTORY?

TWO-FACE AT CONSOLE LABELED ROBOT POWER.

A sliding arm on the machine can be moved to various positions: Asleep, Weak, Athletic, Super Strength, Watch Out! He grabs the level which is on Athletic and declaims,

TWO-FACE (CONTD)Hell has no fury like--

(typical switch)Well, theres just nothing like it.

He pushes the lever to Super Strength.

WIDE ANGLE, THE FIGHT: Fortunes of the Duo are instantly reversed. No math for super-strength each ends up held in vice-like grip, one robot per wrist. They are dragged toward Two-Face who is wheeling two operating tables into position.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)To the operating tables!

ROYHoly Amputation!

Arrow and Roy are put on one table each. While a robot holds each ones feet, Two-Face straps them across the chest, at which points the other two robots in attendance move to bg

TWO-FACEToo bad you did not have their super strength. However, my better side prevails!

Finished strapping, he gets two matchbox-sized gadgets with writes from his pockets, holds them up.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)You shall have super power! But within my power!

(confidential grin)Once I replace your brains with the Power Pack!

ANOTHER ANGLE: Arrow and Roy side by side on tables as they try to see what Two-Face is doing stooped behind them.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)But first-- A slight alternation inside the brain pan!


(CONTINUED)

He produces a fearsome drill! It has a wicked point, rotary fangs, a pistol grip, a heavy power cord of shiny copper. Two-Face aims the hideous instrument at Arrows skull, starts to close on target.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)And you, Arrow and Roy, will be two mindless monsters, two servile robots -- serving me!

DRILL starts with WHIRRING SOUND. As camera moves in on fatal skull-and-drill rapprochement START ROLLING TITLES WITH NARRATION:

NARRATORWILL TWO-FACE TRIUMPH? WILL THESE FANGS FRACTURE ARROW? TOMORROW - SAME ARROW-TIME - SAME ARROW-CHANNEL! WHEN WORSE-- AWAITS!

FADE IN:

INT. TWO-FACES LAIR- DAY25 25

Back a few seconds into previous action, SILENT, sufficient for Part Two Credits, then sudden SOUND of drill almost on Arrows skull.

PULL BACK for WIDER ANGLE.

Two-Face is expectantly grinning down at Arrow.

TWO-FACEAny last words, Arrow?


(CONTINUED)

ARROWIn the name of humanity, Two-Face, spare Roy!

Two-Face, tweedy side SHOWING, contemplates, raises drill, looks almost benign.

TWO-FACEPerhaps you're right. He is so young-- he shows such promise--

ROYNo! You might as well drill me too!

Two-Face looks down at Roy and shrugs.

TWO-FACEYou could have appealed to my better nature. I was willing.

(to Arrow)Maybe I can do something else for you?

CS - Arrow

He thinks, he comes to a conclusion.

ARROWYes.

(beat)I would like to have a glass of water.

GROUP SHOT, FEATURING TWO-FACE

SEEN from his formal side, he is understandably taken aback, then shrugs politely.

TWO-FACE(sotto)

It must be the strain--(to Arrow)

You belittle my generosity, but--(raucous switch)

Fa-cee-lya! Got a live one! Creek juice! Neat!

Facilia ENTERS FRAME bearing a glass of water. She comes to stand next to the prone Arrow, solicitously holds his head.


(CONTINUED)

FACILIAHate to see you go like that, Arrow. How about a real nightcap before you split?

ARROWThis will serve the purpose, thank you.

He starts to drink from the glass.

CS - Arrow

As he starts to drink he knocks into the glass, causing water to run down his chin and off the operating table.

FACILIA (O.S.)Oops!

WIDER ANGLE, INCLUDING TWO-FACE

TWO-FACE(annoyed)

Your operating table-manners are terrible!

ROY(to Arrow)

Are you alright?

ON Arrow

Looking intently at Roy (o.s.) and jerking his eyes once.

ARROWQuite.

(beat)As expected.

CS - Roy

He freezes, looking at Arrow (os), then cautiously turns his eyes to look down off the table.

WHAT HE SEES

In receding order, Two-Faces feet, the copper cable, the bottom of the Robot Power machine. Spilled water on the floor has already touched Two-Faces feet, is continuing to snake its way towards the cable.

TWO-FACE (O.S.)Well? Are we ready?


(CONTINUED)

ARROW (O.S.)Just about, Id say--

The water wends its way from feet to cable and touches it.

BACK TO GROUP SHOT

Arrow in fg, Roy behind him. Each has his feet held by a robot. Facilia has moved to far bg. Two-Face poises the drill.

TWO-FACEI think Ill part right here--

(soulful)Ah-- Its such sweet sorrow--

He turns on the drill. No sooner does it starts to WHIR when it goes BANG!

FULL ON TWO-FACE

The pistol grip in his hand starts to smoke, the drill stops, Two-Face stands shivering with electricity. He drops the drill and HOWLS.

NEW ANGLE

PAST Two-Face, ON the two robots who are standing inactively in bg.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)(livid)

Horace, Helmut! If you please!

On if the robots in bg start to move forward.

ON SPILLED WATER

The moving line of water is creeping under the Robot Power machine.

TWO-FACE (O.S.) (CONTD)Off with their heads! Off with their heads!

OVER DUO, ON HORACE AND HELMUT

The latter are close to executing the command.

DULL ON TWO-FACE

Expectant, gleeful, he suddenly whirls at the SOUND of electric CRACKLING.


(CONTINUED)

WHAT HE SEES

The Robot Power machine emits a billow of smoke. Clearly VISIBLE, the power handle sinks smoothly from Super Power to Asleep with an expiring SOUND.

ON TWO-FACE

Momentarily petrified by the demise of his machine he now snaps around to look at his robots.

WHAT HE SEES

Descending SOUND becomes a SNORE as two attacking robots as well as the two which are holding the Duos feet slump into dormancy.

WIDE ANGLE

Duo leaps into action: They topple the two robots who had been holding them with their feet, then wriggle out of their chest straps. Facilia EXITS and, flabbergasted, Two-Face starts to run.

ON DUO

Extricating themselves,

ROYHoly Waterfall!

ARROWI hate noted earlier how the floor slants towards the Power machine.

They leap off the tables.

WIDER ANGLE

Two-Face is ducking out a steel door, SLAMS it just as Roy gets to it.

ARROW (CONTD)Lets not waste time with doors! Down Arrow-Ropes!

CUT TO:

EXT. WALL OF BUILDING - DAY26 26

Arrow and Roy are hitting the ground.


(CONTINUED)

ARROWWell arrange an official reception for him when he comes out.

They spring for the ARROW VAN.

OVER ARROW VAN, ON DUO

Arrow reaches into cockpit from radio-Arrowphone. Suddenly, SOUND like growing hurricane. The Duo scans about in bewilderment.

INT. CELLAR - DAY27 27

Intense SOUND of wind. Two-Face stands in front of a cold furnace. The gaping door is labeled: Bank Draft Dispenser. He is energetically shoveling money from a large pile of the stuff into the furnace opening. Facilia helps by tossing an individual bill which is instantly sucked up the bye draft. In rhythm with his shoveling,

TWO-FACEThe quality of money will be strained, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven--

EXT. ARROW VAN - DAY28 28

The Duo near the ARROW VAN as before, now looking up. Individual paper bills are drifting down around them.

WHAT THEY SEE (SPECIAL EFFECT)

VISIBLE over the line of a roof is a chimney which is spewing a veritable cascade of paper money into the sky. This VIEW accompanied by intensified ROARING SOUND.

BACK TO DYNAMIC DUO

ROYMoney to burn...

ARROWThats just it! Hes not burning it! When that counterfeit comes down over the city the monetary crisis will be complete!

He activates the phone, then

ARROW (CONTD)(into phone)

Officer Lance, please.


INT. SCPD PRECINCT - INTERCUT29 29

A harried Lance addresses the phone gratefully --

LANCEThank heaven you called, Arrow. In your absence there has developed a terrible run on the Starling City Bank!

ARROWSpeaking of heaven--

(glances up)There is worse to come!

LANCEWhat?

(listens, turns to window)Yes! I can see it drifting down!

(listens)Still in the building? I will send the necessary men immediately!

ARROWIN the meantime, I will contact Oliver queen and urge him to make a public statement regarding any stabilizing step his bank might take in the public interest.

LANCEExcellent! I will try to reach him too!

Arrow, slightly startled, hangs up. Duo leap into ARROW VAN.

ARROWNo time to lose! To the Arrow Lair!

CUT TO:

INT. QUEEN STUDY - DAY30 30

Roy and Oliver come racing from the secret entrance past the surprised Diggle who is just answering the phone. He holds it out, is waved off.

OLIVERI know. Were on our way.

CUT TO:


INT. TV STUDIO - DAY31 31

Oliver, Roy, Lance and TV ANNOUNCER are sitting in front of TV cameras.

TV ANNOUNCER...and now, with a helpful hint for the financial emergency, the Chairman of the Board of starling City Bank -- Mister Oliver queen!

He nods at Oliver who leans towards his side.

MCS - Oliver ON TV SCREEN

He is earnestly addressing the viewer.

OLIVERIn order to stem this money panic, I urge you to turn in all counterfeit bills which you now hold in your possession. My bank will give you a receipt for the counterfeit you turn in. Tomorrow, after stocking sufficient funds in our vaults, my bank will exchange your receipts for an equivalent amount in good and honest money. I will personally...

At start of last sentence there is CLICK and the TV image fades out, to the accompaniment of loud LAUGHTER, as we find ourselves in...

INT. CELLAR - DAY32 32

ON Two-Face, laughing as he gets up in front of a TV set. The silent Bank Draft Dispenser is in bg and next to it is the staircase where Facilia APPEARS. She looks apprehensive.

TWO-FACEJust as I planned! Facilia - baby, are you thinking of all that money thats going to be in that bank a little later?

FACILIAToofee, are you thinking of all those policemen outside the building right now?


(CONTINUED)

TWO-FACEPolicemen?! Did you revive the robots?

FACILIATheyre all Athletio again.

TWO-FACEBetter make it Super Power.

As she turns to leave,

TWO-FACE (CONTD)And ask Horace to come down here, please.

(smiles to himself)The Plays the thing--

He LAUGHS loudly.

EXT. TOG FURNISHINGS - STORE FRONT - DAY33 33

Several COPS and Lance are strung out in front of the building. Lance bellows at the building with a bullhorn.

LANCENow hear this! Hear this!

He waits for a response. None forthcoming, he picks up bullhorn again, turns to nearest cop.

LANCE(through bullhorn)

FIRE--

Cop flinches violently at the exaggerated SOUND. Lance lowers bullhorn, continues normally.

LANCE-- the tear gas.

He turns towards building again.

WHAT HE SEES

Emerging from the shop is Horace the robot, made to look a lot like Two-Face. A gas shell hits him, enveloping his form in billows of white smoke.

LANCE (O.S.)Thats enough! Dont waste it, lads!


(CONTINUED)

Horaces continues to walk, oblivious to the fumes.

BACK TO LANCE --

He looks astonished.

LANCE(sotto)

Now thats what Id call a super criminal!

Horace approaches LANCE, raises his hands, stops. LANCE peers at Horaces face.

LANCEHow comes you arent crying?

HORACE(Two-Faces funeral V.O.)

I am beyond tears. I give up.

LANCEThats better. And why didnt you come out the first time I asked you?

HORACEI was hoping to make good my escape to starling City Park, there to lose myself behind the bushes.

LANCEWere you now! Its starling City Police Station for you, there to lose yourself behind the bars.

ANOTHER ANGLE

Same principals, with a police car in bg. Lance turns to nearest cop.

LANCEPut the cuffs on him and off ye go.

Lance briefly looks after Horace as he is being led to the police car, when he is alerted by the accelerating SOUND of a car. He turns.

WHAT HE SEES

Emerging from around the corner of the building and heading AWAY FROM CAMERA is the Toofmobile. Naturally, it looks immediately as if it were going backwards.


(CONTINUED)

BACK TO LANCE

Astonishment, then grimness, as he heads for his own cruiser.

LANCEIll handle this myself!

He jumps into his cruiser, takes off after retreating Toofmobile.

EXT. STREET - DAY34 34

Toofmobile is speeding TOWARDS CAMERA with Lances cruiser in pursuit, siren WAILING. Toofmobile stops in MS. (Two-Face in the operational drivers seat FACING CAMERA, one robot in seat next to him. Facilia with another robot next to her is FACING AWAY FROM CAMERA). As the cruiser stops behind the Toofmobile, Facilia sticks her head out of the window on the side where the drivers seat would be if she had been driving. Lance, with slow, important mannerisms, walks towards her.

TWO SHOT - LANCE, FACILIA

He leans on her window still, touches his cap, looks at the hood.

LANCE(paternally)

My dear young lady--

FACILIA(brightly)

Yes, Chieftain?

Lance, somewhat startled, nevertheless gathers himself with the encouragement of Facilias loving smile.

LANCEMy dear young lady. Are you aware of the face that you were going backwards?

FACILIA(contritely)

Yes, Officer.

LANCEUh, Young Lady, are you aware of the fact that such a procedure is strictly against --


(CONTINUED)

He gets temporarily flustered by Facilias mien of mild fight and admiration. Then,

LANCE--that its quite contrary-- to the manufacturers recommendation?

FACILIAIs that a fact? But you mean its quite alright if I go forward?

She CRASHES gears. Lance jumps back.

LANCEYes-- once Im out o the way00

He steps away from the Toofmobile which is driving off now. He makes a double take when he sees the second hood come by and then once again when Two-Face sticks his head out the window on his drivers side.

ON TWO-FACE

He grins and waves as Toofmobile retreats.

ON LANCE

Totally bug-eyed, he staggers to his car.

CUT TO:

INT. TV STUDIO - DAY35 35

The broadcast is over and Oliver is shaking hands with the TV announcers. Then he notices that Lance is no longer there.

OLIVER(to Roy)

Wheres Commissioner Lance?

ROYHe was called to the phone.

Lance, in a high flap, is just coming back.

OLIVERSomething wrong, Commissioner?

LANCEYes. Incredible as it might seem, Two-Face has outwitted Officer Lance and is even now seeking refuge in starling City Park!


(CONTINUED)

OLIVERYou have taken measures?

LANCEYes. Except one: As soon as I get back to the office I must call Arrow concerning this new development.

ROYItll be no surprise to him.

LANCE(distracted)

I must be off.

OLIVERWe have works to do. Come on, Roy.

Lance goes in one direction, Oliver and Roy in the other.

CUT TO:

EXT. STARLING PARK CITY - GATE - DAY36 36

The gate, marked starling Park City, Amusements, Rides, is the entrance to an amusement park. It also says, Closed for Repairs.

ON ARROW VAN

The car rocks to a halt, the Duo jumps out, looks up at the gate.

ROYYou think hes trying to take us for a ride?

ARROWLets fine out.

They take off.

EXT. MIDWAY - DAY - STOCK (IF NOT AVAIL USE HOUSE OF MIRRORS 37 37FACADE)

VIEW of a deserted, closed down midway, with booths along each side, inactive rides against the sky.

EXT. HOUSE OF MIRRORS - FACADE - DAY38 38

The Duo comes to a halt in front of the carnivalesque facade of the building.


(CONTINUED)

ROYIts going to take hours to search this locked-up clap-board jungle.

ARROW(thinks)

Perhaps not. Consider, Roy. Two-Face need not have programmed his robot to lead us here--

ROY--and mislead the police to a different place at the same time!

ARROWRight! The characteristic of two-faced brilliance of the super criminal mind. In other words, he wanted us here, and alone.

ROY(looks about)

And so we are, looks like.

ARROWThink two-facedly! Whats the most crowded place, even though you are alone?

Roy thinks, looks around some, then-- inspiration!

ROYHoly Hallucination! The House of Mirrors!

ARROWLets go!

So they do, up to the door in bg. As they enter,

ARROW (CONTD)Now, dont let the mirrors fool you! Reflect before you act!

They EXIT through the door.

INT. HOUSE OF MIRRORS - DAY39 39

A dark, featureless bg as the Duo progress cautiously TOWARDS CAMERA. Suddenly they stop and stare.

WHAT THEY SEE


(CONTINUED)

A bank of repeated images of themselves. Then all the Batmen relax and say,

ARROWThere still are only two of us.

At which point all the images BLANK OUT. It is PITCH BLACK.

ROYAnd now there are none--

A new bank of images appears: in place of the Duo there is now an oft-repeated image of Two-Face (He himself is actually O.S.)

TWO-FACE (O.S.)Mirror, mirror on the wall Here I am yet not at all!

He LAUGHS UPROARIOUSLY as Roy charges INTO VIEW only to bump ineffectually into the mirror. Suddenly the LIGHT WINKS OFF AGAIN.

ARROW(anxiously)

Roy! Roy, are you there?

ROY (O.S.)Yes, but wheres that?

His phrase changes to an extended HOWL which continues briefly after the SCENE LIGHTS UP again and WE SEE Herbert, the tweed-clad robot, grinning and stalking AT CAMERA.

ANOTHER ANGLE

ON mirror image of Arrow crouching expectantly as Herbert walks towards it and then CRASHES into the mirror in which Arrow was reflected. Upon impact, Arrows image moves away.

ON Arrow AND HERBERT

Arrow is looking at the robot who is disentangling himself from his impact with the mirror, all the while fumbling swiftly with his Utility Belt.

ARROW(grimly, sotto)

Time time, Im prepared for you!

He extracts something from his belt.

CS - ON ArrowS HAND


(CONTINUED)

He is pulling a plastic water pistol out of his belt.

BACK TO Arrow AND HERBERT

They close on each other and the robot takes a mighty round-house at Arrow who evades the blow with a smart knee bend, then quickly ends up behind Herbert and then squirts water on the top of the artifacts head.

FEATURE HERBERT

With Arrow in bg, the robot stares AT CAMERA, starts to raise both arms with tortured SQUEAKING-OF-RUSTY-HINGES SOUND, then stops all MOTION as sparks shoot out of his ears with SOUND OF SIZZLING.

ANOTHER ANGLE

ON Arrow, with immobile Herbert in bg, as he continues search.

ARROW (CONTD)(sotto)

One robot down the drain. -- Two to go--

(stares)Roy!

WHAT HE SEES

Roy is tapping his way along a black wall.

ARROW (O.S.) (CONTD)Roy!

Roy jerks TOWARDS CAMERA, becomes instantly apprehensive, waves his arms in negative gesture.

ROYNo! No!

ON Arrow

Racing TOWARDS CAMERA, and then he suddenly crashes through a pane of glass. He picks himself up, looking around wildly for Roy. Then he hunches, alert.

WHAT HE SEES

Roy in the grip of the formally dressed robot Hank. Two-Face stands by, performing some manner of happy jig. Though Roy is held in arms of super strength he manages to shake his head and points TOWARDS CAMERA before being pinioned entirely.


(CONTINUED)

MCS - Arrow

As he whirls to look OS

WHAT HE SEES

Repeated images of Helmut, the robot in halved clothes, approaching menacingly. Then Helmut images stop, look downward in obvious wonder.

WIDE ANGLE

Arrow, by means of the squirt gun, is making a magic circle of water around himself as Helmut walks INTO VIEW. There follows a quick 360 degree ring-around-the-rosy as Helmut tries to reach for Arrow in the circle of water. But soon Arrows cape swirls into Helmut's hand. No match for super strength, Arrow is hauled hand-over-hand out of the circle.

TIGHT SHOT - Arrow AND HELMUT

As the robot is applying a bear hug on Arrow from behind. Arrow cant breathe, the squire gun drops from his weakened hand, but with a last and desperate effort Arrow knocks his head back against the robots nose!

ANGLE ON BACK OF HELMUTS HEAD

As the lid flips up on the robot's head (dummy in this case). EXPIRING SOUND OF FEARS as Helmut drops away from Arrow.

ANOTHER ANGLE

Arrow steps away from falling robot (dummy), shakes himself, instantly resumes search for Roy. He taps along a black wall in bg, finds a switch! CLICK: The now LIT bg reveals Roy, held by the tux clad robot Hank, one of whose hands is over Roys mouth, and Two-Face, who is showing his sloppy side. All three freeze in the process of walking away from Arrow.

ARROWTwo-Face!

Hank immediately jerks Roy in a threatening way, the gesture freezing Arrow. Two-Face turns his head towards Arrow.

TWO-FACEWho, me? Which me?

ARROWI am appealing to your better side!~


(CONTINUED)

Two-Face smartly turns to display his well attired side.

TWO-FACE(smile)

This one?

As Arrow starts to approach again, another threatening grip on Roy by Hank, which produces a MOAN from Roy. Two-Face instantly snaps around at Hank.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)Gently, you brute!

(to Arrow)I apologize.

ARROWThank you, Two-Face.

TWO-FACEThe quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven.

ARROW(also in quotes)

It blesseth him that gives and him that takes, Two-Face.

TWO-FACE(typical switch)

Says who?! Why should I help you?

ARROWBecause this way --

(indicates the captive Roy)

-- no one can help you. Whereas your show of kindness will be matched by the mercy which tempers the law.

Two-Face thinks, then,

TWO-FACEIts a bargain?

ARROWNo. Its simple justice.

A beat, then Two-Face sighs. He smiles and snaps his finger at the robot.


(CONTINUED)

TWO-FACEHank! Relax the solonoids, if you please.

Roy is instantly released by Hank and shakes himself.

ROYHoly Boa Constrictor!

ARROWThank you, Two-Face. And now, shall we go?

Two-Face leads the way with imperial carriage.

TWO-FACEWe go in Peace!

As all four file out...

CUT TO:

EXT. HOUSE OF MIRRORS - FACADE40 40

Two-Face, Hank the robot, Arrow, and Roy, and all stand outside the building and watch the Toofmobile drive up, Facilia at the wheel. She stops, accidentally reverses, making the Toofmobile shoot backwards, stops, forwards, stops again. She GROANS and --

FACILIASometimes I just dont know whether Im coming or going.

TWO-FACE(grinning)

Me, too.

ARROWRight now, you are coming with us.

Facilia is getting out of the Toofmobile, gives a start at this intelligence, looks positively alarmed when Two-Face smiles winningly at Arrow and gives Roy a pat on the head.

FACILIA(to Two-face)

Have you flipped your lid? I dont recognize you!

Two-Face looks startled. Facilia gets back behind the drivers seat, Two-Face -- so to speak-- comes to, and as he gets into the seat next to Facilia,


(CONTINUED)

TWO-FACEHank! My new-found friend, if you please!

Hank grabs Roy around the waist, Arrow charges the robot but gets knocked off his feet with super strength. As he looks up

WHAT HE SEES

The Toofmobile speeding AWAY with Hank, on the running board, holding the kicking Roy under one arm!

ANOTHER ANGLE

Arrow running after the distant Toofmobile.

EXT. ROAD OUTSIDE STARLING CITY PARK - DAY41 41

Arrow is jumping into the parked ARROW VAN while the Toofmboile is disappearing around a curve in bg.

CUT TO:

EXT. ARROW VAN - DAY - STOCK42 42

The ARROW VAN is barreling down a deserted road. After it disappears around a bend, INTENSE OS SQUEAL of brakes.

EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - DAY43 43

VIEWING TOWARDS ditch the hood of the ARROW VAN jerks to a halt just IN VIEW. Arrow races into VIEW, around the hood, into the ditch.

ARROWRoy!

The Boy Wonder rises slowly INTO VIEW over the rim of the ditch.

TWO SHOT, Arrow AND Roy

Arrow is crouching in front of Roy who is sitting in the ditch.

ARROW (CONTD)What happened to you?

ROY(bland smile)

Nothing.


(CONTINUED)

ARROWTwo-face escaped?

ROYNo.

ARROWHe didnt??!!

He looks around wildly.

ROYYes, he did.

CS - Arrow

Looking at Roy with quiet puzzlement.

CS - Roy

Looking at Arrow with an angelic smile.

BACK TO TWO SHOT

Arrow is placing his hand on Roys forehead.

ARROW(gravely)

Something happened to you--

He starts to help Roy up and leads him toward the ARROW VAN.

CUT TO:

INT. FOUNDRY - SUBLEVEL - DAY44 44

Arrow is sitting opposite Roy, fairly close, the former insistent, the latter bland.

ARROWBut something must have happened to you!

ROYNothing happened to me.

Diggle approaches, bearing a silver tray with a steaming bowl on it.

DIGGLEIf I may suggest, sir, perhaps a spot of potato soup for the young master might be just...


(CONTINUED)

ROYI hate potato soup!

Diggle is simply stunned, Arrow instantly alert. He gets up and as he starts to lead Diggle away,

ARROWPerhaps later, Diggle.

ANOTHER ANGLE

Arrow is taking Diggle aside, with Roy sitting quietly in bg.

DIGGLE(puzzled)

Something must be terribly wrong, sir. He refused his favorite: potato soup!

ARROWThe lad obviously has been drugged. Something stronger than potato soup is needed. -- But what?

DIGGLE(still in shock)

To lie about his favorite soup! It would seem that Truth Serum is indicated here.

ARROW(thinking this through)

Truth Serum-- Serum-- The drug must be Lie serum! -- Now for the antidote!

He hurries toward a long shelf labeled MAGIC HERBS. There is a solid row of vials, all containing different colored liquids. Arrow selects one and heads back towards Roy.

THREE SHOT, Arrow, Roy, AND Diggle

While Diggle cum-soup stands by anxiously, Arrow opens and then offers the vial to the bland Roy.

ARROW (CONTD)You dont want to take this.

ROYYes, I do.

He drains the flask. Shortly,


(CONTINUED)

DIGGLE(to Arrow)

In a moment, I would surmise, we should hear a different tune about potato soup.

Roy sits up like a shot.

ROYPotato soup?! Wow! Lead me to it!

He then applies himself to the soup which happy Diggle hands him.

DIGGLE(to Arrow)

A total cure, would you say, sir?

Arrow smiles, then pensively walks away, Diggle following.

NEW ANGLE

Diggle and Arrow conferring.

ARROWThere still is someone else who must be cured.

DIGGLEI understand, sir. What I do not understand is why Two-Face would shoot the lad full of Lie Serum and then release him again to rejoin you!

ARROWRoy and his condition was part of Two-Faces final plan

DIGGLEAnd the drug guaranteed that the lad would not tell you the truth about that plan.

ARROWCorrect. But thank to our discovery by means of potato soup, we may now learn the truth!

ANOTHER ANGLE

As Roy comes up to join Arrow and Diggle.


(CONTINUED)

ROYWhile I was in his power, I was going to be his inside man at tonights heist.

DIGGLEHeist? To hoist what, if I may ask?

ARROWHe means Two-Face plans to rob starling City Bank tonight. Phase One: Undermine the Currency. Phase Two: cause all the money to be pulled in for reimbursement. Phase Three: Steal the tremendous accumulation of good money which has now been placed in the vault in preparation for tomorrows distribution!

DIGGLE(to Roy)

But what was to be your function during this, er, heist?

ROYIn my trustworthy identity as Roy I would find out exactly where the real money was stashed and during the robbery I would stand guard. I would convince any possible police who might come along that you--

(nods at Arrow)--and I are shifting the money for safekeeping.

ARROWBrilliant! But regrettable, not good.

At that moment the Hotline extension in the Lair BEEPS and blinks. Arrow goes for the phone.

ON Arrow

Putting the phone to his ear.

ARROW (CONTD)Yes, Detective.

(listens, then)No, we have not found Two-Face either.


(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

However, if you and some of your men will join me tonight in the vaults of starling City Bank...

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR TOWARDS TWO VAULTS - NIGHT45 45

A sepulchral view of a corridor which ends at two, lit vault doors in bg. The passage has a near corridor joining form the left and a further corridor joining from the right. After a Beat or so, SIBILANT SOUND of someone moving along. FROM ONE SIDE OF CAMERA, PARTLY WITH BACK TO CAMERA, Two-Face. Facilia and Hank -- carrying an enormous, empty bag -- ENTER SHOT. On a sudden, startled gesture from Two-Face, everyone halts. Roy steps out of the first, tributary corridor, walks casually towards the group.

ANOTHER ANGLE

Two-Face is tense and irritable. Nobody else is.

TWO-FACE(to Roy)

Where have you been?

ROY(blandly)

Nowhere.

FACILIA(coyly)

Wheres that ducky buddy of yours?

TWO-FACE(to Facilia)

Not at a time like this, if you please.

(to Roy)First, the test!

(beat)Your name is Roy.

ROYNo.

TWO-FACEYou are little Red Riding Hood.

ROYThats right.


ARROW (CONTD)

(CONTINUED)

TWO-FACE(beams)

Lead us to the vault!

The group slowly creeps toward the two vault doors.

TIGHT TWO SHOT, LANCE AND COP

They are crouching in the first tributary corridor, watching the friends progress.

LANCE(deprecatory whisper)

What a sloppy looking character!

WHAT HE SEES

This is the tweed-side of Two-Face, indeed a disreputable sight.

TIGHT TWO SHOT, Lance AND Arrow

They are watching form the second tributary corridor.

LANCE(low)

And to think he is such a refined looking gentleman--

WHAT HE SEES

This is Two-Faces elegantly attired side.

BACK TO TWO-FACE AND HIS GROUP

They are stopping between the two vault doors. Two-Face looks from one to the other, grins, rubs his hands. Then,

TWO-FACERoy? Now sing, my little bird! In which safe is the counterfeit?

ROY(pointing left)

In this one.

TWO-FACEAnd in which one is the real money?

ROY(pointing right)

In that one.


(CONTINUED)

TWO-FACEMarvelous! Therefore, the real money is in this one!

Two-Face turns to the left safe. Imperial gesture at Hank the robot and at the mentioned safe,

TWO-FACE (CONTD)Hank? If you please!

The robot steps up to the safe door, grabs the wheel, and tears out the center of the door! Then, carrying his empty bag, he enters the hole he has made.

TIGHT TWO SHOT, LANCE, COP

They are starting in amazement.

LANCEPreserve us! Who would have thought it. And such a well-dressed gentleman too!

TIGHT TWO SHOT, LANCE, Arrow

Arrow grim, Lance worried.

LANCERather a costly way of handling the situation, Arrow.

ARROWNo cost is too high when it comes to presenting a super criminal with an educational failure.

Arrow and Lance resume their watch.

WHAT THEY SEE

Under the direction of Two-Face Hank is emerging from the safe carrying the enormous bag which is now taut with loot! He maneuvers with ease.

BACK TO Arrow AND Lance

LANCEI still think we should stop him now.

ARROWNo. I have a better lesson planned for him. He will come back when...


(CONTINUED)

LANCE(startled)

I say there!

ARROW(instantly alert)

I didnt plan this!

WHAT THEY SEE

As Two-Faces group runs for the exit, Hank is dragging the unwilling Roy along with super strength.

ARROW (O.S.) (CONTD)Dont weaken Roy! Hold on!

NEW ANGLE

Cop, Lance, and foremost Arrow are leaping from their respective corridors towards the startled Two-Face and his companions. As Lance and cop draw weapons,

ARROW (CONTD)Dont shoot!

TWO-FACE(to Hank)

Scatter them, if you please!

Hank instantly begins to whirl the enormous bag, clocking Lance and the cop. Meanwhile, Roy has made a flying tackle at Two-Face, pinioning his legs. As Two-Face finds himself so imprisoned, he yells,

TWO-FACE (CONTD)Hurry, Hank! To the Hiding Place!

The robot, with sack, dashes for the door. The cop is holding his head, Lance manages to hold Facilia.

CLOSER ON Arrow AND TWO-FACE

At Arrow approaches, Two-Face grins.

TWO-FACE (CONTD)And when I get out of priso, I will know where the money is hidden-- and how to spend it!

ARROWA bag of worthless counterfeit?

Two-Face stares.


(CONTINUED)

ARROW (CONTD)Roy is no longer under the influence of your Lie Serum. You picked the wrong safe, because Roy told the truth!

Emotional, psychological, spiritual collapse of Two-Face as he declaims tragically,

TWO-FACEAnd when I fall, I fall like Lucifer-- Never to hope again!

ANOTHER ANGLE, WHOLE GROUP

Arrow puts his arm on Two-Faces shoulder.

ARROWThere is always hope, Two-Face, once you have learned to put your best face forward.

As Arrow starts to lead Two-Face away,

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. WARDEN CRICHTONS OFFICE - DAY47 47

WARDEN CRICHTON stands behind his desk, shaking hands with Oliver. Roy is looking on.

OLIVERAs President of starling Citys League for the Rehabilitation of Super Criminals, I am naturally interested in the progress of Two-Face, under Crichton.

WARDEN CRICHTONExcellent progress, Mr. Queen! I have asked for him to be sent to this office, so you can see for yourself.

ROYIs he still running the prisons theatrical work shop?


(CONTINUED)

WARDEN CRICHTONNot only that! He has organized our new Tailor Facilities. They make individualized prison garb.

Oliver smiles at Roy.

OLIVERT.F. Again. Good old Two-Face.

WARDEN CRICHTONAh! Here he is!

FEATURING TWO-FACE

ENTERING through the door in bg he comes STRAIGHT TOWARDS CAMERA, never showing his back. His garb is on the order of a snow-white coverall, the chest emblazoned with a spread-wing design, highly suggestive of angels wings. He approaches, hands outstretched, smiling.

TWO-FACEIndeed a pleasure, Mr. Queen.

ANOTHER ANGLE

Again, Two-Faces backside is not IN VIEW. With a nod at Two-Face,

OLIVEROne of the new prison uniforms you have designed?

TWO-FACE(with charm)

A modest effort. We make an attempt to style the apparel to the mans personality development.

ROYLooks promising, Id say.

TWO-FACEVery kind of you. But now, if youll excuse me, I have much work to do.

With a nod of permission from Crichton, Two-Face bows, takes his leave. As he turns,

ON TWO-FACE


(CONTINUED)

SEEN from the back ,walking towards the door in bg, his costume turns out to be entirely black! And coiling from his lower spine there wags wickedly a spiked devils tail! Once he turns to smile and wave AT CAMERA.

ON Oliver AND Roy

They look at each other, mute with though, as we...

FADE OUT.
