The Batwoman (La mujer murciélago)

BATWOMAN

Look!

Another murder involving one of Acapulco's athlete's has occurred.

The body of the wrestler 'El Rayo' was found drowned at the beach,

This is the fifth murder commited by a mysterious killer who has yet to be caught.

The police are incapable of solving these crimes, which are scaring the population.

These liberal newsreaders have no consideration for the case itself.

There's no motive, no clues, nothing, NOTHING!

Similar crimes were comitted some time ago in Macao and Hong Kong

It seems the cases are all related, so, the FBI have comissioned to us -

a special agent in order to track the killer here, to Acapulco.

Yes?

- Mr. Mario Robles is here, inspector. - Tell him to come in.

This is the special agent.

- Hello - Hello

- Sit down. - Thanks.

- How are you my friend Robles? Do you bring me good news?

- Yes inspector. Since our last conversation, I've talked with someone who can help us,

- whom I've solved some cases with before. - Batwoman!

- Yes sir, I've told her the whole story and she is willing to help us.

Great!

Who is this woman?

- Don't you know her? - No.

She is very difficult to describe with words,

She is a wonderful and very rich lady who lives in the capital city.

She uses her vast fortune to fight against the forces of evil..,

Thanks to her special abilities, she is distinguished in all sports..,

And, behind the mask, she's become a great wrestler.

- This Batwoman, is a great woman. - It will be a pleasure meet her.

You will only see her mask, because if the HAMPA finds out, she will be eliminated.

Only one other and I know her real identity and we'll guard the secret with our lives.

As a wrestler, she will be able to infiitrate the wrestling scene and begin inquiries -

without being noticed, as it seems that wrestlers are the targets of our killer,

for some special reason.

- I talked to her manager so he can prepare some fights here, in Acapulco.

Great idea!

- When will she arrive? - Tomorrow, at noon.

The case must be complicated because they called Batwoman.

Note this down.

The autopsy papers, inspector.

What did you find, doctor?

- Like the other wrestlers, Pineal gland juice has been extracted surgically.

- So the assassin must be a medic? - An extraordinay surgeon. See this...

- As you can see, there's a little cavity in the victim's cranium where they used a

small tool, leaving nothing but this small mark.

Why is this evil medic doing these interventions?

- I really don't know. We know little about the human body, and less of this gland.

- Then, there's nothing we can do. - Nothing, but wait till the killer makes a mistake.

Another crime...

- lgor, have you prepared the lab? - Yes, master.

Good.

Remove the lid.

Seal the tank.

Increase the preasure to 20 ATM.

We have 20 ATM, Dr. Williams.

Quickly, lgor, there's a leak.

- I'm on it, master. - Perfect...NOW!

No reaction...lgor, we have to do a new experiment to create our fish-man.

- When? - NOW! As soon as possible,

We need another wrestler so we can obtain more gland liquid for the transplant.

- But now is very dangerous, the police - Shut up!

- Success is near. We can't stop.., we can't fail now.

- Why wrestlers? There are other people. - Yes, but without the qualities we need.

- We need athletes, very strong people so our specimen will be perfect as I dreamt.

- Quick, tell our men I need another body. They know where to find it.

l have the winner! I have the winner!

Wait!

What's up, Jose? Do you bring me good news?

Of course Swedish; I'm always your man.

- I had to haggle a bit, but I got you a magnificent motorboat at half price.

- Great! - Are you going fishing?

- Yes, I'm going this afternoon. lwill bring you back a fish this size.

- Good luck Swedish. - Thank you for the favour, Jose.

I'm always at your service.

- What a great guy. I'll try to catch a tuna and a big swordfish...

- Did I hurt you Esmeralda? - No, but thanks for training with me.

- We'll train whenever you want. Goodbye! - Thanks! Goodbye!

That Batwoman is a nice girl.

Hello? Mario? Any news?

No, our men are on patrol at the port. And you?

I've not noticed anything suspicious.

And the agent who has put a tap on the phone?

- Nothing. - Ok. I hope it will remain that way,

although I don't think this quiet will last. We'll be in contact.

OK. See you later.

- Anything interesting? - Only routine calls.

- We should investigate them anyway. - Of course.

Wait! They're making a call.

- Number 3? It's number1 speaking. Tell Dr. Williams I'll have one more this afternoon.

They got him, lgor!

Look!

Yes, master! yes.

- Number 1 has arrived with the new donor. - Splendid. Everything is prepared for the operation,

bring him here inmediatly.

Bring him!

Hold him with the straps.

- Did you have any problem? - None, sir.

- Batwoman has arrived in Acapulco. You know that police woman can bring us problems.

- Don't worry. After this operation, we'll go to another country.

Come on, lgor! Quick! Anesthetize him.

Faster lgor! Speed it up!

We'll succeed. Move it left.

Now to the right.

Stop it lgor, make it stop.

- Switch to maximum. Go to maximum! - Yes, master.

Perfect! Perfect!

Prepare yourself, lgor. You are about to witness this century's most awesome act.

400 millions of years ago in the sea, the evolution of the human being began,

when the first vertebrate appeared; the fish.

According to this law, we'll regress back to the dawn of creation.

And we'll create the image and likeness of our ancestors, an AMPHIBIOUS, HUMAN CREATURE!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha,

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha,

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha,

- Look! Look! - Excellent!, Excellent, lgor!

- We've taken a step towards our desires. - Yes master. | always knew we'd succeed.

- What shall we do with this man? - Throw him on the rocks. As far away as possible.

- Tell our men to prepare the boat and inform the sea authorities.

- We'll set out as soon as possible. - Very good, master.

This place is where the wrestler's motorboat was discovered.

Did you find any other clues?

- That's it. If he drowned, we would have found his body.

He could be trapped between the rocks.

- I don't think so. Our divers have searched everywhere with no results.

- What do you want? - A lemonade, please

I'd like an orangeade.

- Did you investigate the call from the gym? - Yes.

- Do you know to who the number belongs to? - It's from a billiard hall.

- Did you investigate the doctor who recieved the call?

- His name is Eric Williams. He's been living on a ship, "The Reptilicus", for 6 months.

- He is a retired surgeon who collects fish and has no known family.

- If we are right and the suspect is a scientist, lthink we should investigate.

- I will talk with our international agent Tony Roca, so he can obtain all the

information available on the Reptilicus and Dr. Williams and send to us.

- I'd like to salute him. Only you two know my true identity.

We have solved a lot of cases together.

- What do you want ? - I'm looking for Dr. Williams.

- He doesn't allow visitors. - Tell him I'm here, please.

No way, you better go away.

- Hello. I bring you a nice surprise. - How are you?

- Gloria, you're more beautiful everyday. - And you always so gallant.

- To me, she's the most beautiful and sweetest woman on Earth.

- Stop flirting, we have a serious problem that must be solved.

- Firstly I'd like to congratule you for your discoveries.., here, l have what you asked for

information about Reptilicus and Dr. Williams. He came from Hong Kong and Macao.

- How did you get the clue? - Because of the phone call recived by the doctor,

the mysterious disappearance of the Swedish the same day...

- And the fact the doctor is a neuro-surgeon. ltried to go aboard, but they stopped me.

I'll ask for permission to board the ship,

- We can't do that, we don't have any evidence to link Dr. Williams with the murders.

Excuse me.

Yes? It's me speaking, inspector.

OK. See you later.

- The inspector just told me the Reptilicus is preparing to sail tomorrow.

l have to act inmediatly.

'THE PINEAL GLAND'

Don't move! Hands up!

Boss, look what we've found!

Move!

Arrrrrgggh!

Catch her! Catch her!

Catch her! She has no weapons. Quickly!

Don't let her escape.

C'mon!

There she is! Shoot!

- Number 1, we have to catch this woman. - But master, we don't know her identity.

- You have to fix it! Use your brains to find out who she is.

And as fast as you can.

My next objective now is take revenge on this damned woman.

- Congratulations Esmeralda. You're better everyday - Thanks to your tips.

- Bye! - Bye!

Who wants the lucky number?

- Can I drive you home, Esmeralda? - Thanks, but someone is picking me up.

- As you wish. Have fun. See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow

Are you crazy? Do you want to kill her in broad daylight?

Let's follow her. Come on!

We'll wait. She has to come out through this door.

- It's impossible to know which one is is her. - It doesn't matter. We know her car.

We'll wait till she leaves.

- Still thinking the same? - I can't get it out my head, Mario.

- I'm sure that thing I saw in the fishtank, was a fish-man.

I know it sounds incredible, doesn't it?

- If you were looking through the keyhole maybe your sight failed.

- I'm sure you only saw a fish. - Maybe, but I'd like to be sure.

- Are you thinking of returning? - No, it would be very dangerous right now.

- I agree. And the next time you decide to do a thing like that, tell me first, OK?

- l have to go. l have orders. lwish you luck. You'll need it.

- Your right and if we don't see you again, please remember us.

- Captain? - Yes, Diaz?

- Can I talk with you? - What's up?

- Thanks. l have to leave. - Is everything ok?

- No. - Can I go with you?

- No, you better stay here. I'll talk with you later.

Let's go.

Faster.., and put on your masks.

A car is approaching. Follow us.
