Chapter 1: Who is the Holiday killer?

52.535 - 69.001 Batman

April Fool's Day. For half a year, a serial killer known as Holiday has been at large. Carmine the Roman Falcone is at his office, entertaining an audience with Edward Nygma, also known as the Riddler. He seeks to unravel this mystery.

0

70.282 - 70.882 The Joker

Riddle me this.

0

71.942 - 82.066 Batman

Who is... Holiday? Meanwhile, at the cave, I prepare my own examination of the case.

0

Chapter 2: What clues are left by the Holiday killer?

85.615 - 96.177 The Joker

It's a mystery, broken into a jigsaw puzzle, wrapped in a conundrum, hidden inside a Chinese box.

0

104.219 - 143.958 Batman

Clues are left at every murder scene. These objects, easily obtained at any five and dime store, were selected to represent the dates of the killings. I won't have plenty on Thanksgiving. Snowglobe for Christmas. Champagne glass on Year's Eve. Box of chocolates on Valentine's Day. Toy leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day. Holidays. Like today, April Fool's Day.

143.978 - 151.4 Batman

And always, 22 caliber pistol with a wrapped handle. Who is Holiday? A killer.

0

154.782 - 195.151 The Joker

Question. Why does Holiday always use the same type of weapon, only to leave them behind at the scene of each murder? Answer. He gets them wholesale. Or let's be more practical. 22 caliber pistols are lightweight, easy on the hand, perfect for a woman. Perhaps a cat woman. With the break-in last June, she had access to your safe, Mr. Falcone.

0

196.432 - 197.132 Unknown Speaker

All mine.

197.493 - 200.635 The Joker

And therefore the names of everyone in the Roman Empire.

201.075 - 202.557 Unknown Speaker

To the Roman! To the Roman!

209.358 - 214.541 Carmine 'The Roman' Falcone

Them cards. Wait, who are you?

215.801 - 230.168 The Joker

Add to that the million-dollar bounty you subsequently put on her head. Suddenly, her best defense... is a good offense. Hey, who's there?

Chapter 3: Why does Holiday target specific victims?

405.178 - 410.242

Und die Zeit und das Geld, das ich dadurch spare, kann ich anderweitig investieren. Vor allem in Wachstum.

0

422.771 - 429.114 Unknown Speaker

If I may, sir, in all your theorizing, there is one person you have overlooked entirely.

0

430.075 - 440.96 Batman

Julian Day. The Calendar Man. But according to Arkham Asylum's records, which could be altered, I suppose, the Calendar Man remains in their custody.

0

441.381 - 457.703 Unknown Speaker

It was not he to whom I was referring. I might only point out that in one's quest for justice, I have seen someone, even as sane as yourself, behave in the most surprising ways.

0

459.164 - 473.355 Harvey Dent

Two shots to the head. You ask me, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. See ya, Johnny. Time for letting them walk. We put the word on the street that they cut a deal and see how the Roman reacts. Happy Thanksgiving.

475.437 - 477.719 Unknown Speaker

Harv, your hair's all wet.

478.599 - 487.574 Harvey Dent

It's been snowing. Sorry, Alberto.

Chapter 4: What is the connection between Carla Vitti and the murders?

490.495 - 507.08 Batman

Captain Gordon told me how Harvey showed up late on New Year's Eve. On Christmas, he could have followed the Joker from his home and killed Milos, the Roman's bodyguard. He left Wayne Manor on Valentine's Day with plenty of time to confront Moroni's men at the restaurant.

0

509.721 - 510.741 Unknown Speaker

What will you do now, sir?

0

519.258 - 529.068 Batman

Harvey Dent. In Harvey Dent's office, the district attorney has his own prime suspect. Bruce Wayne.

0

530.289 - 531.71 Unknown Speaker

You're sure you want to go ahead with this?

0

531.73 - 542.061 Harvey Dent

Arresting one of Gotham's most prominent citizens? No. But if Bruce Wayne is helping the Roman's empire, he deserves everything that's coming to him.

556.19 - 574.034 Carmine 'The Roman' Falcone

Mr. Enigma, I was told there was no riddle you could not solve. And yet, you've only put together one guess after another, with no more certainty of one than any other. Mr. Falcone. Sophia?

574.674 - 578.915 Unknown Speaker

Yes, Papa? Oh, wait, wait. My hat. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

587.971 - 590.273 Carmine 'The Roman' Falcone

Tell me, who is Holiday?

593.837 - 594.858 The Joker

Carmine Falcone?

Chapter 5: Who else could be the Holiday killer?

608.21 - 608.851 Unknown Speaker

Yes, Papa.

0

609.771 - 612.094 Carmine 'The Roman' Falcone

And Sophia, come right back.

Chapter 6: What role does the Calendar Man play in this mystery?

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the weapon used by Holiday?

422.771 - 429.114 Unknown Speaker
