Titans (2018–…): Season 3, Episode 8 - Home - full transcript

As an emboldened Crane looks to filter his poison through Gotham's water system, Starfire, still plagued by visions, enlists Blackfire and Superboy's help, and Gar finally tracks down Jason.

And Jason
knows a Titan how?

We had friends in common.

Had?

- Have you seen him lately?
- Not in a while.

Last time he showed up here,
he found a missing kid for me.

And he seemed okay?

I mean, other than
the whack suit?

Yeah, tip-top.

Jason's in trouble.

I need to find him.

And then what?



Some people want him dead.

I just want to help him.

And I think you do, too.

How does this happen?

He was erratic.

But he cared.

Then he wakes up one
day and he's just...

I don't even know.

It's like the old Jason died.

When Jason came back,

was there anything
different about him,

his voice, the way he walked?

Like dead and come
back to life different?

I don't know.



I'm trying to figure
this out like you.

What are you asking me?

I need to speak with him.

Fix this.

And you think you're
the man for that job?

Not just me.

Well,
what do you think?

Can you make it any bigger?

How big
do you need it?

Bigger than the Bat
Signal. At least.

The man takes
out one drug factory

and thinks he's the
Prince of Gotham.

I was thinking
more like viceroy.

What was that?

Uh, batarang, actually.

Huh?

Hey, you sure you wanna
go to this gala thing tonight?

Yeah. Dick?

We could cozy
up in the Batcave

and watch the facial
recognition comps.

Crane and Red Hood are
gonna get flagged tonight.

I can feel it.

You know what I can
feel? My hunger pangs.

If I don't get some
hors d'oeuvres soon,

I'm gonna eat these
poor goldfish.

Vee will have you arrested.

Their fate is in your hands.

Don't be late.

See you at eight.

Hey, I thought you
were going to the gala?

- I am.
- Pre-game meal?

Have you seen the
dinners at those things?

Chicken the size of golf balls.

Mmm. Dick.

Oh, thanks.

Enjoying some of our good press?

Barb asked me to look at it.

It's a T in the sky.

Yes.
Yes, that it is.

There. Between
the two red ones.

The blue one?

That's
where Krypton was.

Home.

I guess home is just in us,
whether we have one or not.

Show me Tamaran.

We'll have to switch galaxies.

Try Z-3-X-4-5-8-9-I.

Did you just give
me your space address?

- Yes, but, call first.

Oh...

There she is.

Think
you'll ever go back?

I don't know if I can.

So you're staying.

At least for tonight.

Hey, Dick.

Hey. What's up?

Someone's here to see you.

I'm heading out.

No. You're gonna
want to talk to him.

Gar, I can't be late.

He says he knows
you're Nightwing.

Who is this?

Says his name is Tim.

Tim Drake.

Maybe a friend of Crane's?

That was right before he told me

Bruce Wayne is Batman.

I was there. At the
beginning. At the end.

I went to Haly's Circus to
see The Flying Graysons...

the night your
parents were killed.

You signed it for
me before the show.

I remember every
move you performed.

Then one day...

I saw Batman and Robin on
the news chasing Penguin.

Robin did a one-handed meat-hook

to scale a rain gutter...

A trapeze move only two
people in the world can do.

You... and your dad.

So, Robin pinched my moves.

I can't copyright them.

Then, the Titans made a splash.

I heard they were good,
so I started keeping tabs.

Guess what?

Nightwing also does the
one-handed meat-hook.

You were Robin.
Then, Nightwing.

Keep 'em. I got copies.

Thank you.

Like I said, stole my moves.

Come on, follow me.

About a
dozen downtown businesses

were boarded up and
glass-littered sidewalks

following an exchange of fire that
wounded more than two dozen...

My dad got shot and the
Titans put on a light show?

Stay out...

I'm sorry about your dad.

It wouldn't have happened
if Batman were here.

You need help.

Help?

I want to be the next Robin.

Look, you're
barking up the wrong tree.

I appreciate your imagination,

but Bruce Wayne is
just a philanthropist

currently consulting in Europe.

I'm just a former
Detroit city cop.

We don't wear capes.

Oh, next you'll tell
me there's no Batcave.

Come on, I'll give
you a lift home.

I need more!

You're back.

Come on, bring it in.

I need another inhaler, Crane.

Well, you're gonna have
to cook it yourself.

I'm fresh out.

What about that?

That is
too concentrated.

Deadly in its uncut form.

This is a fuck show.

J? J-dawg.

Take heart, my friend.

We are just a few swift strokes

away from the sweetest comeback

the world has ever seen.

I mean, they're gonna
make a biopic about us.

How we met, our
ups, our downs...

How the Titans wiped us out?

Do you remember why we're here?

The details are hazy, Crane.

You zombified me, remember that?

I do remember.

Well, um, quick
refresher course.

So this pump station is perched directly
above the Courtland Valve station,

which controls all of the
water supply for all of Gotham.

So all I need to do is drill
through this flimsy piece of steel

that is covering the floor.

Then I take my little friend there and
I dump it into the water supply and...

You think that's funny?

Just wait until you see what we're
gonna do to Gotham when we're done here,

Gotham is going
to destroy itself.

House by house,
family by family.

This plan is a
fucking joke, Crane.

And so are you.

Me?

But I reached over
to the other side,

- dragged you back to the living...
- So you could use me.

Yes, so I could use you.

Life is transactional,
my dear boy.

Well, I gave you life.

You gave me secrets about
Batman and Dick Grayson,

and, uh, what was his name?

Hank?

I'm done telling secrets.

Done being fucking used.

Are you done?

Almost.

Now I'm done.

You sure you don't want me to
drop you at the Noodle House?

That's far enough.

My cousin lives
around the corner.

Hey, listen.

I'm not gonna tell anybody, if
that's what you're worried about.

I know the rules.

Some secrets have to be kept.

If I can do anything
for your dad...

or your family, let me know.

There's one last thing I
haven't figured out yet.

Who the second Robin
was? The dead one.

I used to think it was Jason Todd
because he was also a Bruce Wayne kid.

But then, I saw him
the other night.

- You saw Jason Todd?
- The night my father was shot.

He was standing across the street
from the shop wearing a hoody.

And you recognized him
from across the street?

He walked like Robin.

I studied him, too.

It's nice to meet you, Tim.

We'll meet again.

Hey, I'm coming down.

I'm not there yet.

It smells like a cancelation.

- Just got a strange tip.
- Yeah, me, too.

Police Commissioner Gordon's going
to the gala without Richard Grayson.

Can you access Gotham's
security video outside

the Drake restaurant
two nights ago?

The night of the attack.
Somebody says they saw Jason.

We did that already.

Can you do a face
recognition sweep?

- This is gonna cost you.

Yep. Somebody was right.

I pulled some old video of
Jason as Robin and got a hit.

- Got the same walker.
- Can you track him?

He left the Drake restaurant
the night of the shooting.

Went straight to ABC Liquor.

Can you fast forward?
I've got a gala to catch.

Hold on, Captain
Dateless. Jumping to hyper speed.

And we're live.

Last seen at the south end of
Ripley Park. Ten minutes ago.

Ripley Park? Okay.

Jason!

Dick?

Jason.

It's not what you think.

Koriand'r?

What are you doing?

I don't know.

You almost cooked me.

I'm sorry, it's, um...

It's happening
again. The visions.

Were they coming from you?

Uh, no, I was, um, sleeping.

Somebody's trying to
tell me something.

Morning, sunshine.

How are you feeling?

Like I was
hit by a truck.

How was the gala?

It was amazing.

I danced my ass off.

Liar.

She was here ten minutes
after you came in.

Didn't sleep a wink.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

I'd better call home.

I did. Uh, they're worried, but
I told her I had it covered.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

It's quite the spill you took.

You're lucky the paramedics
got there so quick.

Somebody anonymous dialed 911.

- I think it was Jason.
- Funny.

I'm not kidding. He was standing right
over me when I was on the ground.

Babe, you hit your
head pretty hard.

You're saying Jason was standing
over you, and could have killed you

but called 911 instead?

He must have lost his nerve.
Run out of drugs. Who knows?

It'll be easier
to finish off now.

Finish?

Bruce used to say, "Throw water on
a drowning man. Close the deal."

I know that the peaceful
way might not have the same

Batman flourish that
you're looking for.

But if Jason wants
to end this quietly,

we'll do that. Right?

Right.

Yeah.

- How's your head?
- It's fine.

Can I get out of here or what?

Read the sixth line.

Jewelry thief, police
commissioner and now optometrist.

Humor me.

- E-D-F-C-Z-P.
- Good.

Read the eight line.

D-E-F-P-O-T-E-C.

Is that good enough for
you, Doctor? Can I go now?

Not quite.

Soon.

Oh, shit.

I think I have an 11
o'clock with the mayor.

You tell him
we're getting close.

We'll wrap this up,
give the city back

Whose city will it be then?

Yours, of course, Commissioner.

All right.

I'll give the
mayor your regards.

Be back in a few hours.

Don't go running off!

Are you sure about this?

Yeah. They worked last time.

Isn't this how Gar ended up,
locked in a trunk with a black eye?

So he says. This
time I have you two.

Any sign of trouble,
I'm pulling you out.

I'm sorry. I have to slam
you two together on this,

it's just I could
use the backup.

- We work well together.
- No problem.

Do you?

- If we have to.
- I mean... we can.

Okay.

Hello?

My baby!

Hello?

- Kory?
- Hmm?

- Are you awake?
- Yeah.

You guys let me
steal Bruce's car?

We didn't think he'd mind. I mean,
technically, we've stolen, too.

You got out of that pod thing
and seem to want to drive.

We followed.

Where did I go?

You just kept
circling the spot.

- This spot?
- Did you see anything?

Remember anything?

No, no, nothing.

I'll drive you back.

No, it's okay. I'm awake now.

Hey!

So, you two are
sleeping together?

Hey, what the fuck?

You can't be in here.

Hey man. I don't want any trouble.
Just trying to find a place to sleep.

Sorry.

It's crazy out there lately.

Regular God-fearing people
killing for no good reason.

Somebody beat you up?

Uh, no, no.

I mean, my friend. Yeah.

Oh, we had a spat...

and, uh, he ran off.

You didn't see anyone
up there, did you?

No, just you.

You hungry?

I got a yogurt cup I
was saving for dessert,

It's pre-stirred.

- You giving that to me?
- Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah. I wish I could let you sleep here,
but, uh, they're gonna tear the place down.

What are you...
What are you doing?

Final inspection.

No, I mean, what... What
are you taking a picture of?

Oh, that's for office yucks.

Some moron tried to drill through a ten
foot steel plate with a concrete drill.

Ten foot!

Concrete drill.

- What a jag ass!

Yeah. You'd be needing a settling torch
the size of the sun to cut through that.

What the hell?

Uh, I
wouldn't touch that.

What?

It could be dangerous.

Yeah.

That's what I'm here for.

To get rid of shit like this.

What?

Jason?

Any requests?

Requests?

Doggy, wheelbarrow
Magic Mountain.

Magic Mountain's extra,
but it's worth it.

I don't want any of that.

I just want to talk.

You're on the clock.

What do you want to talk about?

I want you to answer
to the name, Hank.

- And you're Dawn.
- So I'm playing a dude.

No, Dawn.

Like the sunrise.

Oh, Dawn.

Okay.

What do you want to
talk about sunshine?

I just want to say,
I'm sorry, Hank.

Don't worry about it.

Shit happens.

For killing you.

Is that supposed to be funny?

No.

Yeah.

I'm not playing this.

I'm sure he had it coming.

That's the thing.

He didn't.

Were you high?

It's no excuse.

I've done a lot of
bad things high, too.

A lot of things.

My advice,

there's only one place they
forgive stuff like that.

Home. Time's up, sweetie.

That's all gone.

So, they released me?

You could've at least
let me drive you.

Did you do another video sweep of
the accident, see where Jason went?

Yeah, I did. Last night.

It was like he
vanished into thin air.

Once it's stained, you'll
never look up there again.

That's what
you said last month.

Said what?

Oh, sorry.

My ceiling.

- You're what?
- I think we have a structural problem.

You do?

What? Sorry. No.

- Barb?

Barbara?

It's all gone.

The old road, the old house.

You're never gonna find them.

Is there a problem?

Oh, sorry.

Hello?

Hey, it's Molly.

Jason wants to meet you.

Not Nightwing.

- Alone.
- Where?

Townsend Tunnel. Six o'clock.

He said you know them.

Feels like
another set-up.

Uh, we can give you backup.

Be close by.

Tunnels?

Rum runners built
them back in the day.

Bruce used them as
an escape route,

wired them with
cameras and sensors.

Anybody who goes in or out
Jason'll know about it.

That's why he chose them.

I can ask Molly if you'll
meet someplace else.

No.

If it's the tunnels he wants,

it's the tunnels he gets.

It was careless

holing up in my
room for 24 hours,

saying we were sick.

Yeah, I don't get sick,

except for kryptonite poisoning.

So, what do we do now?

What do you want to do?

I don't know.

We could just forget
the whole thing.

Honestly, we have
nothing in common.

I'm Tamaranean,

and you're some kind of, uh,

genetic cocktail.

I'm not a cocktail.

You know what I mean.

You don't have a
mother and a father.

I know what you mean.

Are you upset?

I can't forget it.

It was my first time.

First...

Tamaranean?

First anyone.

Oh!

Oh.

Hmm.

Well, to be honest with you, I
didn't want to forget it either

I was just, you know,
trying to give you an out.

An out?

Yeah, I'm the bad
sister, remember?

Men don't usually stick around.

You're not bad.

You're not bad either.

Technically, I am half bad,

but I get what you're saying.

I guess you want to
finish him alone.

Like Batman would have done.

I don't know where
you get these ideas, Tim.

I'm just a regular guy
doing regular things.

I'm actually on a
special investigation

for the GCPD.

Batman used these tunnels.

- Saw him come out once.
- Go home, Tim.

Before you get hurt.

My dad was a cop. Homicide.

A knife and fork man.

Taught me how to investigate
and how to shoot.

I can help you.

I'm sure your dad is a good man.

I'm gonna find Red
Hood and Scarecrow,

and show you how it's done.

It's not a good idea. Tim...

Tim!

Jason?

You're not my six o'clock.

There was a
cancelation. They were able to

squeeze me in. Is it okay?

You could have called first.

I just assumed that you

wouldn't pick up, Mom.

After you escaped from Arkham,

I thought you'd leave town.

Leave beautiful Gotham?

Never.

What do you want, Jon?

I want to lay my
head on your lap.

Lap time is over.

I've lost steam.

I was hoping maybe you...

You'd give me one of
your classic lectures.

Some tough love. You know,
get the fires relit again.

I'm sorry, but there
is no more love.

No more lectures.

You don't exist to me.

Maybe just some old-fashioned
clinical analysis then.

It's a broken record.

You're afraid to
take risks, Jon.

Loved ones. Career.

Physical confrontation.

So you apply the
common coward's vices.

Drugs, weak friends
to speak for you,

shield you from the world.

You played your part.

What was my part again?

You left.

I deserve better than you.

A new life, a new child.

And I got it.

It doesn't pay to
look backwards.

- Jon?

I have...

I have terror, Mom.

Terror?

A terror that I'll
fall short again.

Terror that

my ambitions would
be unrealized.

And I see it all...

I see it all laid out

right before me.

And just...

Just as I'm about
to break through,

this dark creature,
this dark creature

just swoops through,

and it just steals
it all away from me.

Does this creature have a shape?

A color?

- It's just darkness...
- Like Batman.

There is no actual
dark creature, Mom!

It's a fucking metaphor!

No...

No man in a cape.
There's no boy in a mask

that's gonna keep
me from Valhalla!

I am both the dreamer,
and the thief.

Are you unable to grasp such a
simple psychological concept?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

What did you do?

I'm sorry, honey,

I forgive you.

I really thought you
would've come back by now.

But you haven't so...

I mean, I'm all for a
little space, you know?

But you're my prize possession.

I cannot let you
out without a leash.

Bruce!

Bruce!

I can see it now.

I know the way.

Dick.

Here I am.

Remember these tunnels?

Yep. I do.

Bruce nearly scared
me to death down here.

Where are you?

Once I figured out how
to use them though...

they were my ticket out.

I heard you wanted
to talk to me.

Are you alone?

I am. Are you?

Me and Crane are finished.

I'm done killing for him.

How do I know that?

You saw me standing over you.

I could've killed you, Dick.

What do you want?

I want to come home.

Be with my friends.

Be a Titan again.

You killed Hank.

That wasn't me.

That was the drugs talking.
Crane talking, too.

But I'm clean now.

You can come home if
you give up Crane.

Live in the house?

Right in your old bed.

Meet me at the old Wellington
pump station tonight at 9:00.

- And, Dick?
- Yeah.

Thank you.

Of course. You're family.

You said
he could do what?

He killed Hank.

He kidnapped kids.

He made that woman
snap her own neck.

So we're just gonna set an
extra place at the dinner table?

"Oh, hey, J, pass
the mashed potatoes."

He's offering to turn himself
in and bring in Crane.

This is bullshit.

You're forgiving a murderer.

We need Crane.

Hold on. What if all the
killing was Scarecrow?

No. He needs to be
held accountable.

You didn't hold me accountable
when Cadmus took me over,

made me a killer.

You guys all took me back,

no questions asked,

because we're family.

Jason deserves the same chance.

All right. We
bring them both in,

and after that we
assess the situation.

I've never met the guy, but
I'm bullish on second chances.

Batcave, five minutes.

Hey.

I can't believe you,

Bruce said be a better Batman and
there are two versions of that.

One kills, one doesn't.

We should go.

Who are you?

Tim.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I followed you.

Why?

I want...

to be Robin.

That was Jason.

There's someone on the ground.

Tim!

Conner.

Looks like the bullet
went clean through.

Somebody call an ambulance.

I'm on it.

I need something to
stop the bleeding.

He's got blood in his
lungs, he's gonna drown.

Paramedics are on their
way. Three minutes, tops,

Dick? You all right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Kory and I will go in this way.

- We'll go around back.
- Stay here, Gar.

Jason!

You're too afraid to
take any real risks, Jon.

Fuck you, Mom.

No. Wait!

There's been an
explosion downtown.

The old pump station
on Wellington.

Send a SWAT unit.

SWAT unit for a fire?

I got a hit on Jason Todd
a half mile from there.

They set us up.

They used me to burn
their way down here.

I saw one of these canisters
at the Snowy Cones place.

This pump station leads directly
to Gotham's water supply.

Are you telling me I
just dosed all of Gotham?
