Batwoman (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 8 - Trust Destiny - full transcript

SHE'S NOT HERE.

YOU STAY SHARP,
MONTOYA.

PAMELA ISLEY...

SHOW YOURSELF!

SURRENDER, OR WE WILL
USE FORCE!

I'M RIGHT HERE.

STOP! PLEASE.

PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME
DO THIS.

TAKE THE SHOT,
MONTOYA.

NO!

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! NO!



WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

BECAUSE SOMEONE
HAS TO CARE.

♪ BABY, TAKE IT SLOW

♪ TURN THE LIGHTS DOWN LOW

♪ TAKE IT SLOW,
TAKE IT SLOW, SLOW ♪

VERY FEW PEOPLE CAN
PULL OFF GREEN
WITH ANY SWAGGER,

BUT I ACTUALLY DON'T
HATE THIS FOR YOU.

AHH. YEAH. IT'S
INTERESTING.

I, UM--I'M SORRY.

I'VE NEVER BEEN
IN A POSITION BEFORE

WHERE I COULDN'T
BE HONEST BECAUSE I WAS

WORRIED ABOUT HURTING
SOMEONE'S FEELINGS,
SO I'M STALLING.

AW! I THINK THAT'S
THE SWEETEST THING

YOU'VE EVER SAID TO ME.



-DID YOU ORDER MORE FOOD?
-NO.

-DID YOU ORDER MORE STRIPPERS?
-UM...

MS. HAMILTON,
IT'S TIME TO ASK YOU

TO PACK YOUR THINGS
AND PART WAYS WITH US.

UM, RUDE.

YOU'VE RACKED UP
AN $8,000 BILL

WITHOUT SHOWING
ANY ABILITY TO PAY FOR IT.

OH! I TOLD THE LADY
AT THE DESK 10 TIMES

TRY ALL MY OTHER CARDS.

THEY'VE ALL BEEN DECLINED,
MS. HAMILTON.

OH, ACTUALLY, IT'S
DR. HAMILTON.

IT'S NOT MS.

I'M AFRAID I NEED
TO ASK YOU TO LEAVE,

OR THE METROPOLIS PD
WILL BE ESCORTING YOU OUT.

THIS IS ALL
A MISUNDERSTANDING.

GIVE ME SOME TIME
TO FIGURE IT OUT.

PLEASE TAKE ALL THE TIME
YOU NEED.

WE'LL ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY

AND A COMPLIMENTARY BOTTLE
OF DOM

FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.

YOU'RE VERY KIND, MA'AM.

HA! I KNOW.

DID THE BAT BITCHES
CUT ME OFF?

ALL YOUR FANCY DEGREES,
AND YOU DIDN'T SEE
THAT COMING?

I THOUGHT WE WERE
PAST THIS.

I MEAN, ONE WOULD THINK
THAT NEARLY VINE-SQUEEZING

THE LIFE OUT OF YOUR BESTIE
AND THEN CRUSHING

THE ONLY CURE
FOR YOU IN EXISTENCE

WAS A PRETTY GOOD INDICATOR

THAT IT WAS TIME TO MOVE ON
FROM THE FRIENDSHIP.

ANYONE ELSE FIND IT IRONIC
THAT WHEN I BEG

RYAN AND LUKE
FOR THEIR ATTENTION

THEY'RE TOO BUSY
WITH THEIR OWN DRAMA,

BUT THEN WHEN I FINALLY
STEP AWAY

FOR SOME MUCH-NEEDED
ME TIME,

MARY HAMILTON IS
THE COVETED BATMISSION
OF THE WEEK?

IF THIS IS A LECTURE
ON BEING BATWOMAN'S
MOST WANTED,

TRUST ME, I ALREADY
TOOK THE EXAM.

WELL, WHAT DO I DO?

UH, YOU KILL THEM
IMMEDIATELY.

ALICE.

FINE. AS SOMEONE
WHO HAD A SO-CALLED
FAMILY MEMBER OBSESSED

WITH THE IDEA THAT
I COULD CHANGE,

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO.

YOU MAKE YOUR FRIENDS
HATE YOU SO MUCH

THAT THEY WANT TO
GIVE UP ON YOU.

FLOWERS AREN'T
A FIX-ALL, PAM.

MY PARTNER LOST
A KIDNEY.

BUT THEY'RE
WHITE TULIPS.

TECHNICALLY FROM
THE LILIACEAE FAMILY.

THEY SYMBOLIZE
FORGIVENESS.

WOULD YOU RATHER
IT BE A KIDNEY?

HA!

I'M TRYING HERE, RENEE.

HE COULD HAVE DIED.

HE WAS GOING TO
SHOOT ME.

BECAUSE I COULDN'T.

I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE
HIS BACK.

NO. YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO HAVE MY BACK.

OHH. DON'T YOU SEE
HOW UNFAIR THAT IS?

I TOOK AN OATH
TO UPHOLD THE LAW,

AND YOU'RE OUT THERE
BREAKING IT CONSTANTLY

FOR THE SAKE OF WHAT--
MOTHER NATURE?

I KNOW GLOBAL WARMING,
WATER SHORTAGE,

EXTINCTION OF SPECIES IS
AN INCONVENIENT THOUGHT FOR YOU,

BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
THIS REUSABLE COFFEE MUG

ISN'T THE SOLUTION.

WHAT IS
THE SOLUTION THEN?

QUITTING YOUR JOB,
OSTRACIZING OUR FRIENDS,

BECOMING SO OBSESSED
TO THE POINT

WHERE I DON'T EVEN
RECOGNIZE YOU?

ARE YOU COMING WITH ME
OR NOT?

NOT IF YOU GO WHERE
I CAN'T FOLLOW YOU.

STAY HERE. STAY THE...

QUIRKY, BRILLIANT
SCIENTIST WHO LOVES
READING AND BASEBALL

THAT I FELL IN LOVE
WITH A DECADE AGO.

SHE'S GONE.

SHE'S BLOSSOMED INTO SOMEONE
WHO CAN STAND UP FOR HERSELF

AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY,
FOR THOSE THINGS THAT CAN'T.

I FROZE
MARY'S BANK ACCOUNTS.
I THINK.

INTERNET'S CUT OUT 10 TIMES.

AND NOW I HAVE
THE SPINNING WHEEL OF DEATH.

THAT'S...AWESOME.

DOES ASBESTOS
HAVE A SMELL?

ANYONE SMELL THAT?

DEAD RAT
IN THE WALL.

GIVE IT 3 DAYS.
IT'LL PASS.

WE DON'T HAVE
3 DAYS.

YOU SAW HER CLINIC.

IT'S COMPLETELY
OVERRUN BY PLANT LIFE.

YOU DON'T FIND
THAT SYMBOLIC?

WE WON'T LET HER FORGET
WHO SHE IS.

OH, HOPE.
THAT'S SWEET.

HOW'S THAT WORKING
OUT FOR YOU?

I'M SORRY. I LEFT
MY SARCASM METER

IN THE BATCAVE I NO LONGER
HAVE ACCESS TO.

IS THERE SOMETHING
YOU WOULD LIKE TO
SAY TO ME?

TAKE OFF
THE KID GLOVES, RYAN.

-KID GLOVES?
-YOU WOULDN'T HAVE MARQUIS

ARRESTED BECAUSE
HE'S FAMILY.

YOU UNDERESTIMATED
MARY BECAUSE
SHE'S YOUR FRIEND,

AND NOW YOU'RE LOCKED
OUT OF YOUR BATCAVE

AND YOUR BESTIE'S
ON THE LAM

WITH A SERIAL KILLER.

JUMP IN IF I'M
MISSING ANYTHING.

OK. WHAT THE HELL
WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO,

PUMMEL MARY WITH BATARANGS,

LET THEM THROW MARQUIS
IN ARKHAM FOR A BRAIN INJURY

THAT ISN'T HIS FAULT?

IT'S CALLED MAKING
HARD CHOICES.

WHY ARE WE EVEN HERE?
THERE WASN'T A TOXIC SEWER

WITH WI-FI ACCESS?

RENEE'S NOT WRONG, RYAN.

WE NEED A HARDER STANCE.

BY AGREEING
WITH THE WOMAN

WHO'S BLACKMAILING ME

BECAUSE YOU'RE
SLEEPING WITH HER?

AHEM. WOW.
UM, I THINK I SMELL
THAT ASBESTOS.

MAYBE WE SHOULD GO
GET SOME AIR.

LOOK. I GET IT.
MARY'S YOUR FRIEND.

I THOUGHT I COULD PLEAD
AND HOPE

AND RATIONALIZE
WITH PAM, TOO.

IT DIDN'T WORK.
EVENTUALLY, IT GOT TO THE POINT

WHERE SHE MADE ME CHOOSE--

MY OBLIGATION
TO THE CITY OR HER.

SO WHAT DID YOU DO?

SOMETHING PAM WILL NEVER
FORGIVE ME FOR.

I SOLD MY SOUL
TO BATMAN.

HE KNEW HE COULDN'T
TRUST ARKHAM TO CONTAIN HER,

SO HE DEVELOPED
A DESICCATION SERUM

THAT MIMICKED THE PROCESS
A PLANT GOES THROUGH

WHEN IT'S DENIED
WATER OR SUNLIGHT.

THE DEVICE USED
TO INJECT IT

IS CODED TO THE SERUM,
MEANING IT'S ALSO

THE ONLY WAY
TO EXTRACT IT FROM HER.

SO IF WE GOT
MORE OF THE SERUM,

WE COULD USE IT
ON MARY?

I HAVE THE DEVICE,

BUT HE ONLY MADE
ONE DOSE OF SERUM.

IT'S CURRENTLY
PUMPING THROUGH

PAMELA'S BLOODSTREAM.

-SO WHERE IS SHE?
-NO ONE KNOWS.

OK, BUT IF WE
FIND HER,

THEN PRESUMABLY
WE COULD SIPHON THE SERUM

AND USE IT TO STOP
MARY, RIGHT?

WRONG! FIRST OF ALL,
ACCIDENTALLY UNLEASHING

AN ECOTERRORIST
WOULD NOT BE
A GOOD LOOK FOR US.

SECOND, DO YOU KNOW
WHAT DESICCATION MEANS?

WE WOULD BE
DEHYDRATING MARY
TO THE BRINK OF DEATH.

NO. THE SERUM
WAS JUST TO PUT PAM DOWN,

AND THAT WAS 10 YEARS AGO.

IF WE REMOVE IT,
MY GUESS IS SHE STAYS DORMANT

UNLESS SHE COMES INTO CONTACT
WITH SUNLIGHT OR WATER.

AS FOR POINT NUMBER TWO,
KID GLOVES, RYAN.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT
RENEE JUST SAID?

PAM WILL NEVER
FORGIVE HER FOR WHAT
SHE DID TO HER.

WE ARE NOT PUTTING
MARY THROUGH THAT
SAME TORTURE

SO SHE CAN HATE
US, TOO.

THIS COULD BE
OUR ONLY CHANCE TO SAVE MARY.

THE TRUE MARY WOULD WANT
US TO STOP HER

BEFORE SHE CAN DO SOMETHING
THAT SHE CAN'T TAKE BACK.

WE CANNOT HELP HER
UNLESS WE STOP HER.

FINE.

IF I WERE BATMAN,

WHERE WOULD I STASH
POISON IVY?

OUR BEST BET IS THAT
BRUCE WROTE ABOUT PAM ISLEY

IN HIS JOURNALS,
WHICH ARE IN THE BATCAVE HERE,

BUT MARQUIS'
STATE-OF-THE-ART INTERIOR

AND EXTERIOR CAMERAS MEANS

NO ROOF, BALCONY,
OR GARAGE ACCESS.

CAN YOU HACK INTO THE FEED
AND BUY ME SOME TIME?

-NOT WITH DIALUP.
-MANPOWER?

THERE'S 5
SECURITY GUARDS
PER FLOOR.

-DIGITAL UPGRADES?
-ACCORDING TO OUR FORMER STAFF,

EVERY EXECUTIVE ELEVATOR
REQUIRES A THUMB SCAN,

AND HIS OFFICE IS LOCKED
WITH A RETINAL SCAN.

GUYS, WE'RE NOT
GETTING INTO THIS BUILDING.

WHY IS MARQUIS CALLING ME?
AM I SUPPOSED TO TAKE THIS?

WHAT THE HELL
DOES HE WANT?

GUESS I'M ABOUT TO
FIND OUT.

I'M SORRY. I WAS
A DETECTIVE FOR 8 YEARS,

AND I'M JUST LEARNING NOW
THAT...

BRUCE WAYNE WAS...BATMAN?

WHAT UP, SIS?
QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU.

IS THIS THING LEGIT?

WHAT DO YOU THINK
I CAN HAWK IT FOR,

A BUCK 50, TWO?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING,
MARQUIS?

I'M REDECORATING
MY OFFICE.

YOU DO KNOW YOU HAD
A CHESS SET, RIGHT?

YOU SHOULD BE
IN JAIL.

OH! SAMESIES, SIS.

REMEMBER WHEN YOU
HAD ME KIDNAPPED?

THAT'S ILLEGAL!
TSK, TSK, TSK.

YOU WANT TO CALL IT SIXES
AND MOVE ON?

YOU NEED HELP.
YOU NEED A DOCTOR.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE.

-HOLD THAT THOUGHT.
-SIR.

THE PLANNER'S UPSTAIRS
READY TO TAKE YOU

THROUGH THE STAGING
FOR THE PARTY TONIGHT,

AND YOUR MASK IS HERE
FOR A FITTING.

YEAH. TWO SECONDS.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.
YOU WERE CALLING ME

A MENTAL CASE.

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
CALLED ME

IF A TINY PART OF YOU
WASN'T REACHING
OUT FOR HELP.

JUST LIKE THERE'S
A TINY PART OF YOU

THAT LOVES ME, RIGHT,
OR ELSE YOU WOULD HAVE HAD

MY ASS THROWN IN ARKHAM,

AND BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME,

YOU TRIED TO TURN ME
INTO AN ICE CUBE.

ANYWAY, I JUST WANTED TO
SAY THANK YOU.

THE COLD,
THE NEAR DEATH OF IT ALL,

GOT TO SAY,
IT AWOKE SOMETHING IN ME

BECAUSE I'VE NEVER FELT
THIS ALIVE.

MARQUIS JET IS COMING
FOR YOU, GOTHAM!

YOU'LL BE HEARING
FROM ME SOON.

WANT TO TALK
ABOUT IT?

I THINK MARQUIS IS
THROWING A PARTY
AT WAYNE TONIGHT,

AND WE'RE GONNA
CRASH IT.

SO WE SHOULD RUN
OUR IDENTITIES. GO.

AHEM. HELLO.
I'M SPENCER GLAD,

FORMER OLYMPIC ATHLETE,
RUMORED TO BE

THE NEXT OWNER
OF THE GOTHAM KNIGHTS.

I'LL HIT YOU UP
FOR FLOOR SEATS, SPENCE.

THE NAME'S
CECELIA LANGLEY,

HEIRESS TO A WHISKEY FORTUNE
AND WORLD TRAVELER.

PENELOPE DEVEREAUX,
WHO FOR SOME REASON

RUNS A BOARD GAME
EMPIRE?

-HONESTLY, DREAM JOB.
-JUST GONNA SAY IT.

MY GIRL SOUNDS HOT.

ALSO, HOW ARE WE NOT
GONNA RUN INTO THESE
PEOPLE TONIGHT?

YEAH. I SENT SOME E-MAILS.
THEY THINK THEY'RE UNINVITED,

AND, YES, SHE IS.

I FITTED YOUR MASK
WITH OCULAR MESH SCANNERS

FROM THE BATSUIT.

BE CAREFUL.
SOPHIE, YOURS IS

FROM THE DOLLAR STORE.

GO NUTS.
OK. SO WE GET IN,

GET PAST SECURITY,
GET TO THE BATCAVE,

FIND BRUCE'S JOURNALS,
AND FIND PAM.

OH, AND, PENELOPE,
YOU'RE FRENCH.

WAIT. WHAT?

8 OF CLUBS?
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?

HOPEFULLY WE'LL
BE LONG GONE
BEFORE IT MATTERS.

WHO WANTS TO PLAY A GAME?

THERE'S NOTHING WORSE IN LIFE
THAN A FAKE SMILE.

A COUPLE DAYS AGO,
I SAT DOWN

AT THE TABLE
OF MY BRAND-NEW BOARD ROOM,

SURROUNDED BY MEN AND WOMEN
WHO WERE SUPPOSED TO BE

MY SOLDIERS,

AND THEY TOLD ME THAT
I WASN'T THE RIGHT MAN

TO LEAD WAYNE ENTERPRISES.

ON YOUR RIGHT.

OH, OH, MAN. OH.
I'M SO SORRY.

HI. I'LL TAKE
THIS FOR YOU.

BUT IT WAS THE WAY
THAT THEY SAID IT.

NO CRACK OR ANYTHING.
THAT'S CRAZY.

SO CONDESCENDING,
LIKE THEY WERE MAD ABOUT IT,

LIKE THIS.

SO I FIRED THEIR ASSES!

EACH OF YOU HAS PROVEN
TO BE OF SAVAGE MIND.

THAT'S WHO I WANT
AT MY WAYNE ENTERPRISES.

JACK OF HEARTS.

DID WE JUST CRASH
A DERANGED GROUP
JOB INTERVIEW?

I'M AFRAID SO.

HANDS ON THE TABLE,
JACK OF HEARTS.

TRUE OR FALSE--

WHEN WE CLIMB
TO THE TOP,

WE GOT TO BE WILLING
TO GET A LITTLE CRAZY.

TRUE.

HOW'S THIS?
CLOSE ENOUGH?

NO. WE NEED
A FULL RETINAL MAP
TO FOOL THE SCANNERS.

YOU NEED TO BE A LOT CLOSER.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED
TO DO THAT

WHILE HE'S PLAYING
GAME SHOW HOST?

LOOK. ALL I KNOW IS
I SWITCHED THE SIM CARD

ON HIS ASSISTANT'S TABLET,
AND NOW I HAVE

FULL ACCESS
TO TOWER SECURITY CAMS.

OK. AHEM.
IT'S NOT A COMPETITION.

YEAH. SURE THING,
BUT, UH, SOPHIE JUST GOT

MARQUIS' THUMBPRINT,
SO KIND OF JUST
WAITING ON YOU HERE.

COMPLETE THIS SENTENCE.

THE SICK AMONG US
DESERVE OUR...

PITY?

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA! HA HA HA!

THE ANSWER WE WERE
LOOKING FOR WAS FEAR.

TOUGH LUCK.

WHO'S NEXT?

COME ON. DON'T BE SHY.

LOOK. I PROMISE THIS IS
THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME.

3 OF DIAMONDS.

OUI. C'EST MOI.

OH.
MISS PENELOPE DEVEREAUX

I PRESUME.

OK. HERE WE GO.

THE ONLY PARISIAN
ON MY GUEST LIST.

YOU CREATED THE GAME
3 MURDERS AT THE BOWERY.

MAY I SAY YOUR WORK
IS MOST...

THOUGHTFULLY DERANGED.

MERCI.

JUST--JUST
A FEW MORE SECONDS.

TRUE OR FALSE--

AN ARTIST ALWAYS PUTS
HERSELF,

NO MATTER HOW DARK,
INTO HER WORK.

OUI.

WHENEVER WE REVEAL
OUR DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT.

WE ARE NO LONGER SCARED.

NON.

HEH.

FINISH THIS SENTENCE.

A MOTHER'S LOVE IS...

SCAN COMPLETE.
GOOD TO GO.

EH, NOT MY PROBLEM.

YOU KNOW, IF MY
THERAPIST WERE HERE,

SHE'D SAY IT'S NEVER
A GOOD IDEA

TO HUNT A DESICCATED BODY
WHILE ANGRY.

JUST TELL ME WHY
SHE WANTS TO BE HERE
ALL OF A SUDDEN.

IT'S NOT ALL
OF A SUDDEN.

WE WERE PLANNING
TO SPEND OUR ENTIRE
LIVES TOGETHER.

BRUCE MENTIONED
ANYTHING ABOUT PAM,

THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE
I'LL UNDERSTAND IT.

JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO
KISS AND MAKE UP WITH HER

DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE GOOD.

I GET WHY
YOU'RE PISSED,

BUT REMEMBER
SOMETHING.

POISON IVY COST ME
THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.

TRYING TO HELP.

I'LL TAKE YOUR HELP.

THEN I WANT MY NAME--

BATWOMAN'S NAME--
OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.

WE'VE PRETTY MUCH
CLEANED UP EVERYTHING
ON YOUR LIST.

THAT'S A FUN WAY
OF SAYING THE JOKER'S
JOY BUZZER'S

STILL UNACCOUNTED FOR.

OK. WE NEED ALICE
TO FIND IT.

WAIT. ALICE WAS
YOUR JOB, RIGHT?

AND YOU WERE HOOKING UP
WITH HER AT HER PLACE,

WHICH--PHEW--I HOPE
IT'S NICER THAN HER OFFICE.

MY PLACE IS
RENT CONTROLLED.

WHO CARES IF
IT'S NICE?

REALLY THOUGHT WAYNE TOWER
WAS TALL ENOUGH

FOR US TO GET
TO HANDSHAKES, LADIES.

HI. HEY. I THOUGHT
I TOLD YOU TO LOCK
THE DOOR.

EHH.

UHH!

WE'RE THE CLEANING LADIES.

LET'S GO.

GUYS, PLEASE TELL ME
YOU FIGURED OUT

WHERE POISON IVY'S BURIED.

-WE JUST GOT TO THE JOURNALS.
-BE QUICK ABOUT IT

BECAUSE MARY JUST GOT HERE.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

MARY CAME HOME.
IS SHE LOOKING FOR US?

UH, JUST JUDGING
A BOOK BY ITS COVER HERE,

BUT I THINK IT'S
MORE LIKELY
THAT SHE'S LOOKING

FOR FREAK FERTILIZER.

ANY SIGN
OF ALICE WITH HER?

NO, NOT YET,
BUT I'LL KEEP MY EYE
ON THE SECURITY CAMS.

DON'T LET HER
LEAVE THIS BUILDING.

GREAT. I MEAN, SHE'S
BEEN SO COOPERATIVE LATELY,

I SEE NO PROBLEMS THERE.

OK. CALL IF YOU
NEED BACKUP.

IF MARY'S HERE,
IT'S FOR A REASON,

AND I CAN ASSURE YOU
IT'S NOT TO DANCE.

LET'S JUST GET
TO THESE.

♪ OOH, BABY

♪ YOU GOT A RHYTHM LIKE...

OK. I PROMISE I JUST
WANT TO TALK.

OK. I'LL JUST GRAB
A NUMBER AND STAY RIGHT HERE.

♪ SO IN A HURRY...

MARY HAMILTON.

WELL, WELL.
I SHOULD PROBABLY

FIRE MY PUBLICIST,
MARY HAMILTON,

BECAUSE YOU SHOULD
KNOW YOUR FRIENDS
NO LONGER LIVE HERE.

WELL, I'M NO PR REP,
BUT IF SHE'S THE ONE

WHO CAME UP WITH YOUR
DECK OF CARDS THEME,

IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD CONSIDER.

HEH. I'M NOT FEELING
THE VIBES YOU'RE
PUTTING OUT,

AND THAT'S A SHAME
BECAUSE YOU...

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'D
BE A LOT OF FUN.

DON'T GIVE UP ON ME
SO FAST, MR. C-E-BRO.

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN HEARD
THE REASON I CAME ALL
THIS WAY TO FIND YOU.

DANCE?

OK. OK. OK, OK,
OK, OK, OK, OK.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR THIS.

NEW PLAN. BRUCE
ARCHIVED THESE
CHRONOLOGICALLY,

SO LET'S START THERE.

WHEN WAS THE FIRST
TIME YOU CONTACTED
BATMAN FOR HELP?

IT WAS EARLY JUNE 2011.

OK.

DOES ANY OF THIS
LOOK FAMILIAR?

THIS. THIS IS
THE GOTHAM CITY DAM.

BRUCE WOULDN'T HAVE
DESICCATED PAM
AROUND THAT MUCH WATER.

HE DIDN'T. HE NEEDED TO
STOP HER FROM DESTROYING IT.

THE DAM WAS
HER NEXT TARGET.

OK, OK. I'M--I'M SORRY.

WHY DID YOU LOVE
THIS WOMAN?

BECAUSE THROUGH IT ALL
I KNEW IT REALLY WASN'T HER.

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MARY,
WHAT HAPPENED TO PAM

WASN'T A FAIR FIGHT.

I APPRECIATE
THE SYMBOLISM,

BUT TECHNICALLY,
YOU JUST KILLED A TULIP.

YOU GOING SOMEWHERE?

YES, I AM.

THE QUESTION IS
DO I PACK

ONE TOOTHBRUSH OR TWO?

GUYS AT THE PRECINCT
MENTIONED SOMETHING

ABOUT A BREAK-IN
AT GOTHAM DAM
LAST NIGHT.

YOU WOULDN'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT,
WOULD YOU?

I HAVEN'T BEEN
STUDYING MY ASS OFF

FOR MY DETECTIVE'S EXAM
FOR NOTHING.

WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING
TO DO THERE?

YOU WANT THE TRUTH
SO YOU HAVE TO
BREAK UP WITH ME

OR A LIE SO WE CAN
STAY TOGETHER?

DON'T DO THAT.
DON'T PUT THIS ON ME.

WHY NOT? YOU ALREADY KNOW
WHAT I WANT.

I WANT TO SAVE GOTHAM
FROM BECOMING

A TOXIC WASTE DUMP,
AND I'D LIKE YOU
TO SUPPORT ME

WHILE I DO IT,

SO...

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

♪ JUST STARING
AT THE CEILING FAN ♪

FOR YOU TO
CHOOSE ONE--

YOUR CAUSE,
FLOODING THE CITY,

WIPING FULL NEIGHBORHOODS
OFF THE MAP, OR ME.

♪ SO I'LL DRINK
THIS WINE ♪

♪ LIKE IT'S MEDICINE
FOR THE MIND ♪

ABOVE ALL ELSE,
I WANT YOU.

♪ BECAUSE I STILL TASTE
YOUR LOVE ♪

BUT I NEED YOU TO TRUST THAT
I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING HERE.

♪ HEAD TO MY TOES

♪ DOING TIME,
TRYING TO HEAL ♪

♪ DO ANYTHING SO I DON'T

♪ FEEL YOU

♪ FEEL YOU, FEEL YOU

WHAT IS THIS FOR?

FORGIVENESS.

OHH!

YOU THINK
OF SOMETHING?

YOU GOOD?

HEY.
GOT SOMETHING.

BRUCE WROTE THAT
POISON IVY WOULD
HAVE TO BE KEPT

WHERE NO ONE
WOULD LOOK FOR HER

BUT SOMEWHERE HE
COULD GET TO HER
IF HE NEEDED.

SO CLOSE. HE WOULDN'T
HAVE BURIED HER ANYWHERE

NEAR THEIR USUAL
HOT SPOTS--

DOCKS, SHIPYARDS,
BACK ALLEYS.

NO. IT'D HAVE TO BE
DARK AND DRY,

NO WATER, NO LIGHT,
NO OTHER PLANT LIFE.

WATER WAS
HIS BIGGEST CONCERN.

A SINGLE DROP COULD BE
ENOUGH TO REANIMATE HER.

GOTHAM CITY IS
A DAMN ISLAND,

WHERE IT RAINS
300 DAYS A YEAR.

ARE YOU SURE HE
DIDN'T MAKE A DEAL
WITH GCPD

FOR SOME KIND OF
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE
CUSTODY?

WELL, SHE'S NOT
AT BLACKGATE,

AND I CHECKED
THE OFF-BOOKS WING
AT ARKHAM, TOO.

THERE HAS TO BE AN ANSWER
WE'RE NOT SEEING.

OH, MY GOD.

WHAT IF SHE'S HERE?

YOU SPEND YOUR WHOLE LIFE
IN SERVICE

TO LOGIC
AND FORENSIC EVIDENCE,

AND THEN YOU KNOW
WHAT LOVE DOES.

IT MAKES YOU WANT TO SAY
THINGS LIKE,

"I KNOW SHE'S DOWN HERE.

I CAN FEEL HER."

IF SHE'S IN THERE,
ARE YOU SURE

YOU WANT TO SEE HER
LIKE THIS?

RYAN AND I CAN
HANDLE IT.

THANKS, BUT I OWE
IT TO HER NOT TO
RUN AWAY AND HIDE.

THIS HAS THE SCHEMATICS
FOR THE TUNNEL SYSTEM

BELOW THE BATCAVE.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE WE'RE
GONNA END UP,

SO MAKE SURE WE FIND
OUR WAY BACK.

HOW FAR DOWN
DOES THIS GO?

EVEN CLOSER TO HELL
THAN YOUR OFFICE.

OK. I NEED TOTAL QUIET.

SORRY, GUYS.
DAMN FRAUD ALERT
ON MY CREDIT CARD.

Y--SILENCING.

I THINK I GOT SOMETHING.

TRYING TO ISOLATE IT.

OK. I'M LOCKED IN.

I CAN HEAR IT CLEAR ENOUGH
TO TRACK THE SOURCE.

HEAR WHAT?

-PAM'S HEARTBEAT.
-OH, MY GOD.

-YOU HAVE THE DEVICE?
-YEAH.

THEN WE NEED TO MOVE.
WHATEVER MARY'S UP TO,

SHE DOESN'T STAY
IN ONE PLACE FOR LONG.

LUKE, WE THINK PAM'S
SOMEWHERE

IN THE LOWER TUNNELS.

AH. THAT IS
ACTUALLY BRILLIANT.

A LOT OF SOLID ROCK
DOWN THERE,

SO WE MIGHT LOSE CONTACT.

KEEP MARY THERE.
HELP IS ON THE WAY.

LET'S GO.

SO I KEEP
WONDERING TWO THINGS.

WHY ARE YOU HERE,
AND WHERE'S WILDER?

YOU'RE SERIOUSLY THINKING
ABOUT YOUR SISTER RIGHT NOW?

SO YOU EXPECT ME
TO THINK THAT I COULD
STEAL HER COMPANY...

AND SHE'S JUST
COOL WITH IT?

HMM. IT'S HONESTLY
KIND OF ANNOYING

HOW MUCH CLINGINESS RUNS
IN YOUR FAMILY.

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY
RYAN ISN'T PAYING
ATTENTION TO YOU?

IT'S BECAUSE SHE'S
TOO OBSESSED
WITH FIXING ME.

YOU DON'T LOOK
BROKEN TO ME.

LOOK.

LONG STORY SHORT,

I JUST WANT TO MOVE ON
WITH MY LIFE

WITH THE ONE PERSON LEFT
WHO UNDERSTANDS ME.

UNH.

BUT THEN I THOUGHT
TO MYSELF

THIS MARQUIS GUY HAS
A LOT OF WEIRD BAGGAGE.

MAYBE HE WANTS TO TAKE
REVENGE ON RYAN ON MY BEHALF.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE
IN MIND?

OOP. WELL, LOOK
WHO STOPPED TALKING.

UM, A LITTLE BONUS
FOR YOU.

IT MIGHT HELP OPEN UP
SOME DOORS FOR YOU
IN THE FUTURE.

HEH HEH HEH.

RYAN, ARE WE
HOT OR COLD?

TELL ME WE'RE SCALDING

BECAUSE WE'RE ALMOST
AT THE END OF THE MAP.

WELL, IT'S GETTING LOUDER.
I JUST DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH FURTHER.

AGH!
BATWOMAN...

-MARY AND MARQUIS...
-LUKE?

LUKE, YOU COPY? DAMN.

OK. THERE'S SOMETHING
GOING ON WITH MARY UPSTAIRS.

WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF TIME.

GUYS!

TELL ME SHE HAD
A CHARMING PERSONALITY.

THAT'S
THE DESICCATION.

THE SERUM LEECHES WATER
FROM THE CELLS.

INCLUDES SKIN AND TISSUE.

YOU WANT TO DO
THIS TO MARY?

I'M TRYING TO PREVENT
A POISON IVY OUTBREAK

FROM WIPING OUT GOTHAM'S
BEST AND BRIGHTEST UPSTAIRS.

LOOK, RYAN.
I WAS YOU ONCE.

I WANTED TO BELIEVE
THAT THERE WAS SOME
MAGICAL SOLUTION

WHERE I SAVED
THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

WITHOUT HER HATING ME
FOREVER.

THERE ISN'T.
MARY IS AT THE PARTY.

THE SERUM IS HERE.

IT'S TIME TO STEP UP.

ALL RIGHT. GOT IT.

HEY, LUKE. IF YOU CAN
HEAR ME, I'M HEADED UP.

-WE'RE COMING WITH YOU.
-STAY AND MAKE SURE

PAM DOESN'T WAKE UP.

I'LL CHECK IN
ONCE MARY'S DOWN.

REMEMBER,
NO WATER BREAKS,

AND IF YOU SO MUCH AS
HAVE TO SNEEZE, DON'T.

JUST IN CASE.

HEY. BATWOMAN, IF YOU COPY,
I LOST EYES ON MARY.

WHERE ARE YOU?

-DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE COMING.
-GET THE HELL OFF ME, MAN.

OH, I DON'T THINK
YOU SHOULD BE
TALKING LIKE THAT.

YOU'RE NOT WEARING
THE RIGHT COSTUME.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

SEE, I JUST WONDER
WHERE YOU KEEP IT.

PLUG IT IN LIKE
A TESLA CHARGER?

I DON'T
HAVE TIME FOR THIS.

BUT I THINK YOU DO,
BATWING.

SHE'D FORGIVE YOU.

YOU HAVE NO CLUE
HOW MUCH OF
A FIGHTER SHE WAS.

I'M TALKING ABOUT PAM,

THE WOMAN YOU FELL
IN LOVE WITH,

NOT POISON IVY.

FOR THE RECORD,
I TAKE HALF
THE BLAME

FOR ALICE GOING FREE.

NOT THE WISEST MOVE
ON MY PART.

WE'LL FIND HER.
SHE'LL SCREW UP
EVENTUALLY,

PING A TRAFFIC CAM,
ROB A BANK.

ALICE? MORE LIKE HOLD UP
A DOUGHNUT SHOP.

OH, MY GOD.
THE FRAUD ALERT.

WHOEVER STOLE MY CARD,
THEY PURCHASED

A 3-TIER STRAWBERRY
CHEESECAKE

AND A GRAPE SODA,
THEN HAD IT SENT

TO HER HOTEL ROOM.

AND YOU THINK
IT WAS ALICE?

KNOWING HER, SHE WON'T
BE THERE MUCH LONGER.

I NEED TO GET HER BACK.
ARE YOU GOOD HERE?

DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
SHE'S REANIMATING.
I'LL BE FINE.

BE CAREFUL.

SORRY, MA'AM.
ELEVATORS ARE
TEMPORARILY DOWN.

ALL OF THEM? WHY?

JUST SOME HICCUP
WITH THE BUILDING
COMPUTER SYSTEM.

WE'LL GET YOU
ON YOUR WAY SHORTLY.

OH, RYAN, WHEN WILL
YOU GIVE UP?

THE STAIRS ARE BETTER
FOR MY CALVES ANYWAY.

TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH.

CAKE?

I BELIEVE YOU GET 5%
CASH BACK.

-YOU LURED ME HERE?
-LURED YOU?

LET'S NOT GET KINKY.

ALICE, WHAT THE HELL
IS THIS?

I MADE A JUICY DISCOVERY,

AND I'VE BEEN DYING
TO TELL YOU,

BUT YOU'VE BEEN SO HARD
TO GET ALONE LATELY.

HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S HAPPENED
TO OUR FRIENDSHIP.

WE DON'T HAVE ONE,
FOR STARTERS.

BESIDES THE POINT.
YOU HAVE BEEN SO KIND

TO HOUSE ME
ON THAT PRISON COT
YOU CALL A PULL-OUT COUCH.

I JUST WANTED TO RETURN
THE FAVOR.

YOUR LITTLE LOVER
HAS BEEN PLAYING US.

-RENEE?
-SURE,

OR WHATEVER YOU CALL HER
UNDER THE SHEETS.

SINCE WHEN DO YOU
DO ME FAVORS?

BECAUSE RE-NAY-NAY
IS A LIAR,

AND SHE NEEDS TO PAY
FOR BEING A BAD ONE.

SAYS THE WORLD'S
BIGGEST LIAR.

YOU KNOW, RENEE'S
HUGE MISTAKE

WAS LEAVING ME ALONE
IN HER OFFICE.

DID SHE NOT THINK
I WOULD SNOOP EVERY
NOOK AND CRANNY?

LEFT CABINET,
SECOND DRAWER DOWN.

SEE FOR YOURSELF.

I DON'T WANT TO
HURT YOU, MARY.

THERE'S ANOTHER
PROMISE BROKEN.

OH! WHAT IS THAT?
DO YOU EVEN KNOW?

BATMAN MADE IT
TO STOP POISON IVY.

WHEN, A DECADE AGO?
DO YOU EVEN KNOW
THE HALF-LIFE

OF ITS CHEMICAL COMPOUND?

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT
THAT'LL DO TO ME, DO YOU?

YOU GAVE ME NO CHOICE.

HEY, BATWOMAN.
HOLD UP.

YOU READY FOR ME
TO BLOW YOUR MIND?

HOW ABOUT WE KILL
YOUR TWO LITTLE
SIDEKICKS

AT THE SAME TIME,
HMM?

A LITTLE BROTHER-SISTER
BONDING ACTION?

COME ON!

IT WAS ME.
I TOLD HIM

SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT
US ALL THROUGH THAT

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT" PHASE.

MARY...HOW COULD YOU?

YOU GAVE ME NO CHOICE.

I ALWAYS
WONDERED WHY I WAS
THE KID

THAT GOT CHOSE
ON THAT BUS THAT DAY.

A COUPLE DOZEN KIDS,
SO WHY WAS I THE ONE
THAT GOT BUZZED?

EVERYONE SAYS
THE WORLD'S GONE MAD,

BUT I GET IT.

BATMAN HAD THE JOKER,

AND, BATWOMAN,
YOU GOT ME.

TRUE OR FALSE, SIS--

YOU GOTTA TRUST
DESTINY.

FALSE. WE MAKE
OUR OWN DESTINIES.

YOU WISH.

UNH!

I'VE BEEN
IN THE BEDROOM TRYING

TO FINAGLE MY WAY
OUT OF SOPHIE'S HANDCUFFS,

AND YOU'VE BEEN IN HERE
DRINKING ALL THE DOM?

RYAN HAD ME BEAT.

SHE WAS ABOUT TO INJECT
ME WITH SOMETHING,

AND THEN SHE HESITATED.

WHATEVER SHE WAS
ABOUT TO DO TO ME
SCARED HER.

DON'T TELL YOU'RE GETTING
THE CONSCIENCE TINGLES.

BEFORE I EVEN KNEW
WHAT WAS HAPPENING,

SHE USED THE SYRINGE
ON MARQUIS.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS
TO SAVE LUKE

OR PROTECT HER SECRET.

BUT ALL I KNOW IS
IN THAT MOMENT,

I WAS THE LEAST
OF HER PROBLEMS.

SHE STILL
UNDERESTIMATES YOU.

I KNOW IT'S SILLY,
BUT A PART OF ME

JUST WANTED HER TO
SEE ME AS POWERFUL.

DO YOU KNOW ALL THOSE
LOONEY TUNE DELUSIONS
I'VE BEEN HAVING,

POSTCARDS FROM DAD,
IMAGINARY FRIENDS,

WALKING IN ON SOPHIE
IN THE SHOWER?

THAT LAST ONE HAPPENED.

OH.

ANYWAY, SINCE YOUR WHOLE
POISON MARY METAMORPHOSIS,

I HAVE YET TO HAVE
A SINGLE DELUSIONAL THOUGHT,

WHICH MEANS BABY-SITTING
YOU, MY DEAR,

HAS MADE ME LESS
OF A CRAZY PERSON,

AND IF THAT'S NOT POWERFUL,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.

I KNOW YOU CAN'T HEAR ME.

I KNOW YOU HATE ME...

BUT I AM SORRY.

I'VE BEEN SORRY
EVERY DAY I WAKE UP

TO A BADGE AND NOT TO YOU.

OH, MY GOD.

PAM.

PAM, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

PAM?

♪ OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH

OH, MY GOD.

DESICCATION
IS NOT PRETTY.

DO YOU THINK
WE SHOULD HOOK HIM UP
TO FLUIDS?

NOT UNLESS YOU WANT HIM
TO WAKE UP.

HE KNOWS WHO WE ARE.
THE SECOND HE WAKES UP,

THE WHOLE WORLD
WILL, TOO.

THAT'S A BIG, FAT IF
HE WAKES UP.

JADA JET, THIS IS BATWOMAN.

I HAVE YOUR SON.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A WAY

TO FIX HIS BRAIN,
I SUGGEST YOU FIND IT QUICK.

SOPHIE, HOW DO YOU
HAVE RECEPTION
IN THE TUNNELS?

I'M NOT IN THE TUNNELS,
BUT YOU NEED TO GET THERE ASAP.

SOPHIE, WHERE'S RENEE?

YOU KNOW WHY YOU AND ALICE
HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE

TO CROSS THE JOY BUZZER
OFF HER LIST?

RENEE HAS HAD IT
THIS ENTIRE TIME.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
SHE HAD IT?

I MEAN, SHE WAS NEVER
GONNA LET ALICE FREE.

SHE LIED, RYAN,
TO ALICE, TO YOU, TO ME.

SHE WAS HOLDING IT
OVER YOUR HEADS

TILL ONE OF YOU FOUND
WHAT SHE WANTED--

HER SOUL MATE PAMELA ISLEY.

GREG, MOVE YOUR HEAD.
