The Batman (2004–2008): Season 2, Episode 3 - Fire and Ice - full transcript

Firefly and Mr. Freeze make an unlikely pair as they join forces to plunge Gotham into a permanent winter. With the entire police force "iced over," The Batman is the city's only hope for survival.

We're experiencing
what experts are calling...

...the harshest winter
Gotham's seen in 100 years.

So with the roads iced over
and six more inches due...

...turn that radiator up
and the alarm clock off.

Because you're not getting to work
tomorrow, unless you can fly.

Play one of the best new FPS shooters,
search Steam for PROJECT WARLOCK

Come down with your hands up.

You shouldn't play with Firefly.

Code 20345...

- Those guys okay?
- Yeah, they're all right.

In this town, I'm the heat.



You're all sizzle and no steak.

Bum, Batman.

So how did you plan
on getting me down?

You'll have to land
when you run out of fuel.

Well, let's fill her up then.

Forget Firefly. We just scored
chief's public enemy number one.

Really not feeling the love here, fellas.

Detective Yin.

You and Firefly throw
quite the winter barbecue.

It was a blast. Do we know what he took
from the technologies firm?

- Working on it.
- Firefly's always been work for hire.

lf we knew what he took,
maybe we'd know who he took it for.

Honey, I'm home.

Brought you a present.



Gotham City in the palm of your hand.

Is this a joke?

Saw it in a window, Boss Frost.
Thought of you.

Cool your jets. I got the other thing too.

Nice.

You don't know the half of it.

I also fried The Bat.

And you saw his cold remains?

Well, I didn't exactly see where I left...

You risked putting The Batman
hot on our trail.

Okay, okay, chill. Bat showed.
What was I supposed to do?

Nothing must stand in my way when I...

When we extend Gotham's
harsh winter into permafrost.

The city will be ours to shake up
or shake down...

...any time we want.

Nine-piece band, check.

Decorations, check.

Dinner napkins...

It would seem that despite the cold...

...the Gotham Police Gala
has become quite the hot ticket.

Though I must say, Master Bruce, I find
your hosting of the event a bit ironic...

...given the Dark Knight's vigilante standing
with the blue knights.

It's the least I could do
for Gotham's finest, Alfred.

Or perhaps it's your way of seeking
what The Batman cannot have:

The approval of Gotham's finest.

Yes, yes, I'm fired. I know.

The Batwave.

A break-in. At Wayne Industries?

“Liquid nitrogen. Do not touch.“

I was expecting someone
with a little more flair.

Such a chilly reception, Batman.

My eyes.

How shall I ice you, Batman?

Allow me to pick your frozen brain.

“Liquid nitrogen.“

So, what could the unlikely pair
of fire and ice be building together?

It is time to swap one dark suit
for another, Master Bruce.

The policemen's gala begins shortly.

The loads are iced over, Alfred.

Sounds like the perfect alibi
for a no-show to me.

Now, now, you are the celebrity host.

Do you think it's wise to risk rousing
the suspicion of hundreds of police?

I'll put in some quick face time,
deliver my toast and duck back out.

The vents are rerouted, Boss Frost.

The heat that flows through these vents
warms every building in Gotham.

With my cryo-accelerator...

...we can do something about that.

The guy obviously thinks
he's some kind of crusader.

But he's doing more harm
than good, Wayne.

You're lucky The Bat
only trashed your lab.

The Bat is lucky I wasn't there.

I would've opened a can of hurt on him...

...and personally dragged him
to your doorstep.

You're my kind of guy, Wayne.

Cider, Chief Rojas?

Sure. Don't mind if I...

Appreciate the save, Ellen.

You looked like a man
in need of a rescue.

They tell me just about every badge
in Gotham's here tonight.

Makes you wonder
who's protecting the city.

I'd better rehearse my toast.

Wayne.

I know your secret.

- Excuse me?
- It's been quite an act.

You really had me snowed.

I'm afraid I don't know what you're...

Need me to spell it out for you?

There are two sides to Bruce Wayne.

Most people look at you
and think, “Rich party boy.

Does the whole charity thing
just for the P.R.“

But I can see...

...this isn't a front.

You really care, don't you?

Boy

You've got my number.

Guilty as charged.

The Freeze-O-Matic 9000's
ready to blow.

As the cryo-accelerator
amplifies my powers tenfold...

...Gothamites will have nowhere to turn,
as block by city block...

...they are frozen out of their homes.

And what better block to beta test...

...than where the entire police force
fortuitously assembles tonight.

I can hear them now,
“How'd these ice cubes get in my shorts?“

Let us begin.

Fire up.

And we sleep warmer in our beds
knowing that you are there.

That is why I am pleased to donate...

Radiator must be on the fritz.

Where there's frost, there's fire.

Next.

Second stop on the freezer-burn tour:
City hall.

The Batman.

Don't sweat it, chief. I got him.

Idiot. You've damaged
the cryo-accelerator.

We'll fix it. Chill.

You chill.

Your demise, Batman.
may warm even my heart.

That was cold, jack.

Time to bring the heat.

He has started the boiler.

Yeah? Well, some like it hot.

My fuel tank.

Bye-bye, Batman.

Feed a cold, starve a fever.

I remember Wayne's speech and then zip.
What happened?

Hey, check this out.

Freeze and Firefly did this?

Well, they won't be giving us
any more trouble.

- Nice work, boys.
- It wasn't us, chief.

It was him.

G... G... Get him.

- The Batman?
- He saved us.

Yeah, he saved the city.
