Deep in the underbelly of Gotham City lives Carmine Falcone, part time philanthropist and part time mob kingpin. When news spreads of the mayor’s death, Carmine fears he is next. Meanwhile, detective Dick Grayson confronts crooked cop Harvey Bullock, beating him to a pulp for threatening him earlier. Batman examines the riddle left at the crime scene. Suddenly, another murder is reported: Carmine Falcone’s son. Enraged, Carmine orders his lackey Bullock to find this “Riddler.” Alfred tells Bruce that Vicki Vale called him, but he refuses to respond. The episode closes back with Nashton, where we see a list of names, including Gotham’s mayor and Mario Falcone. He nonchalantly crosses them off.
