Beware the Batman (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 23 - Choices - full transcript

When Batman and Katana are ambushed in the Gotham subway by Killer Croc, it's up to Barbara Gordon to save them. Only one problem: Barbara's on a date.

Previously on
Beware the Batman.

Home sweet home.

I was thinking about
giving myself a code name.

Something mysterious,
like Oracle.

Cool.

Seismic sensors indicate they
tunneled into the bank from underneath.

We're patched in at the vault.

On it.

They have a Di Marco
6000XL Crypto Magnetic Lock.

We need to input the correct
25 digits within 10 seconds.

I coded a neat, little tool
that should do the trick.



No go.

Making a couple of
minor tweaks here.

Sending.

Take the cash.
Leave the jewelry.

Whoa, something stinks in here.

They came up from the sewer.

Appropriate.

Take the loot and get out!

Ha!

Oracle, I just hit Killer Croc
with a tracker.

Getting a fix on his
location now.

The tracker has come to a stop.

Oracle, I need you to access

all the Gotham CCTV cameras
in the subway tunnels.



Route the feeds
to the Batcomputer.

That's right, Croc.

You want some girl power
bringing the hammer down?

Oh, you're gonna cry?

Well, you can wipe those eyes
with my foot.

Barbara?

What's going on in there?

Uh, you know, just
working on my blog.

What's up?

Come downstairs. There's
a boy at the door for you.

A what? At the what?

Creed?
What are you doing here?

Hey, um, at school today,
in the hallway...

I'm sorry about that.

It's just we sort of talked
about maybe doing something and...

Get to it, son.
Why are you at my house?

Dad, this is Creed.
Creed, my dad.

Nice to meet you, sir.

Ever been arrested?

Any history of insanity
or homicidal thoughts?

Dad!

So, let me guess.

You were embarrassed to ask
me out in front of your cool friends

today at school, right?

That's not it.

I was afraid you'd say, "no."

Everyone thinks I'm just this
lug-head jock and...

Yes. My answer is yes.
How about tomorrow night?

Great. I'll pick you up at 7:00.

And what kind of
a name is Creed?

Are his parents cult members
or hippies, or something?

Stop. This is important to me.

Turn off your cop-ness
this once, okay?

My cop-ness?

- Have you two been...
- Yes.

I see.

I'll make sure to have your suits
de-ionized so that they're more palatable.

Any sign of him yet?

Only shadowy glimpses from
the feed Oracle set up.

Did you contact Gotham PD?

With all the pressure Harvey Dent's
putting on anyone that helps you,

they're leary of getting involved
unless they have something concrete,

I'm afraid.

A bank robbery isn't
concrete enough?

Calm down.

Dent will be on the war path
until the election.

As soon as he's mayor,
it will all blow over.

Until it does...

I know, we smell funny.

The blast residue might
tell us something.

Gelignite.

A type used mainly
in construction.

Six kilos of it was stolen from
a construction site in midtown

along with 10 kilos of
liquid stone?

A quick-setting cement used
for foundation repairs.

What is Croc up to?

You want to take
my picture, Batman?

I want you calling in every
hour, on the hour, to the minute.

Uh, no.

I'll take good care of her, sir.

Take good care of her?

What's that supposed to mean?

It's Gordon.

I need your best off-duty detectives
to be in my office in 15 minutes.

Sorry, folks.

Train's out of service.

Everybody off!

Come and get me, Batman.

That's Gordon's daughter.

Why exactly are we doing this
on our day off?

So the commissioner owes us.

Shall I go over
the specials again?

No, that's okay.

We'll have the lobster
and an order of fries.

French fries.

And lots of ketchup.

Heroes in a hole.

Struggle all you want, but
liquid stone hardens in seconds.

You figured all this out with
that lizard brain of yours?

There's a one in three chance any
train coming this way will take your line.

And when it does...

Ever seen chewing gum
on hot pavement?

Gets all melty, spread out.

Gotta scrape it off
to get it up.

Should have stayed
out of my way.

I'm completely stuck.

Alfred,
there's been an explosion.

Killer Croc has trapped us in
liquid stone down in the subway.

I have a fix on your position.

I'll bring some tools
to get you out.

Train.

We can't wait for Alfred.

This looks great.

How do you eat one of these?

Oh, they give you
this little wrench.

Uh, sorry.

Maybe we should just
order more fries.

Chaperone Two, this is Chaperone One.

Is the package secure?

Affirmative.

They just got
another order of fries.

You sure you're
having a good time?

Are you kidding? Most fun
I've had in a long time.

Normally,
I'm just home blogging.

I know. I read your
Bat Channel blog.

You do? Are you stalking me?

What? No.

Dude, kidding. Stalk away.

I'm just happy
someone reads my blog.

Sorry. Probably
my dad checking up.

Hello?

Get to a secure place, now.

You okay? What's wrong?

I, uh, have to use the bathroom.

Batman, what's going on?

Killer Croc trapped us
on a Gotham subway track.

Ping our exact location, then
access the Gotham railway system

and reroute all trains away
from our track.

- Now?
- Yes. Now.

Can you do this?

Yeah. Sure. I'm on it.

Okay, Oracle, you can do this.

No.

Come on. Stupid phone.

No, no, no.

Barbara?

One bar.

Batman.

That was...

Too close.

We have to go. Now.

Why? Where are we going?

I'll explain. Just come on.

Something's happening.

Package is on the move.
What do we do?

What do you do? You follow them.

That's the assignment.

Where are we going?

Just drive somewhere
without so many buildings.

This is Gotham.
It's pretty much all building.

No. No.

Everything okay?

B and K, this is Oracle.
We have a problem.

There are four trains
coming your way,

and one of them is
scheduled for your track.

How long?

- Less than 10 minutes.
- Can you reroute it?

I'm trying, but my phone
keeps losing reception.

This is Katana.
Where are you?

I'm, uh, on a date.

Oracle, you are aware
we are about to die here.

I know. I'm working on it.
Just hold tight.

Take me to the subway terminal
on Ninth.

The subway? Why?

Uh, because subways are cool.
I support public transport.

Don't you support
public transport?

Yeah, sure, I like it,
but I do have this car.

Ninth Street Terminal.
Step on it.

We might be on our own here.

What about Alfred?

May not make it in time.
My arm is loose.

There are liquid nitrogen
capsules on my belt.

I can get to them if I can
chip away some of this stone.

What good would that do?

If heat hardens it, perhaps extreme
cold will reverse the process.

Really? That'll work?

Could.
Or maybe nothing happens.

Or the reaction could cause the liquid
stone to become so unstable, it explodes.

I'm gonna keep my fingers
crossed for Alfred.

Not a good place
for a midnight stroll, old timer.

I may be old,
but I never stroll.

Batman.

I'm on my way to the Transit
Authority's main hub.

I can hack into
their grid directly.

Old man. Girls.

How many people this
chump have on the payroll?

Barbara, wait!

That was the second train.

Only two more before
we become road kill.

How's that liquid
nitrogen coming?

What's wrong?
You just took off.

Who have you been talking to?

I will answer all your
questions, but right now,

I need you to get that
guy out of that room.

I don't care how.
Can you do that?

Mister. Mister.

There's a bunch of kids
trashing the station.

You gotta do something.

This isn't really
in my job description.

You work for the Transit
Authority, right?

Well, authoritize!

- That's number three.
- Almost there.

Got it.

Please tell me you have something
else on that belt we can use.

Batman. Katana.

Tell me you're still there.
Hello?

We're all right.

Yes! I did it! I did it!

Did what?

Okay. That happened.

Do you wanna get out of here?

Sure. And I'd like to talk
about what's going on.

Hello, pretty.

Heard you're helping Batman.

They call me Croc.

Barbara? Barbara?

Cover your eyes, please.

Batman and Katana are on
their way here to meet me.

Don't think so, sweet meat.

Hiding just
makes me hungry, pretty.

Feeding time.

Bet you taste just like chicken.

Stay away from her, reptile.

- You okay?
- Uh-huh.

Ahhh!

I'm glad I found you, officers.

I was just waiting for my train
when this alligator man over here

attacked that young girl.

Thank goodness Batman and
Katana were here to save her.

Yeah. Thank goodness or we'd
be on the unemployment line.

What did I miss?

Young lady, I need you to
come inside immediately.

Dad, if you ever want
me to speak to you again

after you had me followed,

you need to go inside.
Right now!

I'll remind you that having you
followed might have saved your life

if Batman and Katana
hadn't been there.

By the way, exactly what
were you doing in the subway?

- And why...
- Dad!

Right. All right.

Don't be long.

See you around, Creed.

I understand if you don't
wanna see me again.

I mean, really.

I may give up dating forever.

Yeah. Tonight was
pretty freaky.

Freaky good or freaky bad?

Haven't figured that out yet.

Never had my shoulder
dislocated on a date before.

I totally get it.

I'm sorry.

But I did get to meet Batman.

That might be worth
giving it one more try.

Really?

I'll talk to you at school.
