YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING SHE DOES UNTIL YOU TWO HAVE TRACKED DOWN EVERY LAST ONE OF THOSE TOXIC TOYS FROM BATMAN'S TROPHY CASE. LUKE: RIGHT NOW, A THOUSAND NANOBOTS ARE SWIMMING THROUGH YOUR BLOODSTREAM, SENDING OUT TRACKING BEACONS TO SATELLITES AS WE SPEAK. IF I'M READING THIS RIGHT, THE SUIT THOUGHT YOU WERE INJURED. WHICH PROMPTED A SYSTEM-WIDE SHUTDOWN, PUTTING THE SUIT IN SAFE MODE. I THOUGHT YOU AND I AGREED YOU'D STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS. THIS IS PERSONAL... BECAUSE I'M YOUR DAUGHTER. BUS DRIVER! WAIT! BUS DRIVER, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! WAIT, YOU PIECE OF-- I PAY TAXES! I PAY YOUR SALARY, MAN! SCREW YOU! YO. WANT TO SEE SOMETHING AWESOME? TAYLOR, CHECK THIS OUT. T, LOOK. I FOUND IT CATCHING FROGS UNDER LOEB BRIDGE. SHH. I'M ABOUT TO UNLOCK A PET. -TAYLOR, COME ON. -EVAN, CHILL. TELL THEM I'M GONNA BE LATE. EXPLOSION, TIRES SQUEALING NO. I'M SORRY. IT'S NOT MY-- HORNS HONKING, CAR ALARMS BLARING YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. I LOVE THIS FRICKING TOWN. GOTHAM OFFICIALS HAVE NO COMMENT ON HOW A TANK OF LIQUID NITROGEN ENDED UP IN THE HANDS OF SCHOOLCHILDREN AND CAUSED THIS BUS TO FREEZE. GOTHAM OFFICIALS ARE LINKING THE FREEZING AGENT TO MR. VICTOR FRIES, THE DECEASED CRYOBIOLOGIST GOTHAM REMEMBERS AS ONE OF BATMAN'S COLDEST ENEMIES. MS. WILDER'S HERE FOR YOUR MEETING, MS. JET. DEWITT: OFFICIALS ARE ASKING ANYONE WITH INFORMATION AS TO WHERE THE FRIES SERUM CAME FROM TO CALL THE GCPD. THAT'S WHY I TAKE THE SUBWAY. (TURNS OFF TV) I'M SORRY WE DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO FINISH OUR CONVERSATION LAST NIGHT. I HAVE TO ADMIT I NEVER PLANNED ON MEETING YOU. IT'S A LOT TO PROCESS. I SEE YOU'VE RISEN ABOVE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES TO GET YOUR DEGREE, CLIMB THE CORPORATE LADDER, BECOME THE ACTING CEO OF WAYNE. YOU'VE TURNED YOURSELF INTO A RATHER REMARKABLE YOUNG WOMAN, RYAN. THANK YOU. LOOK. I DIDN'T COME HERE TO BLAME YOU FOR ANYTHING. YOU KNOW, WHATEVER YOUR SITUATION WAS AT THE TIME, YOU WERE YOUNG OR SCARED OR IF I WAS UNPLANNED, UNWANTED, WHATEVER, NO JUDGMENT. I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT IT'S ALL GOOD. I TURNED OUT OK. RYAN, IN AN EFFORT TO RESPECT YOUR TIME AND MINE, I WILL TRY TO MAKE THIS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE. I'M NOT INTERESTED I HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. NOW IF YOU DON'T MIND, I HAVE A MEETING I NEED TO PREPARE FOR. WAIT. WHY HAVE ME AND THEN COVER IT UP? ADAM, WILL YOU LET BONNIE KNOW THAT I'M ON MY WAY? YOU PAID A DOCTOR $2 MILLION TO FAKE YOUR NAME ON MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND THEN MADE IT LOOK LIKE YOU DIED SO I NEVER CAME LOOKING FOR YOU. WHAT WERE YOU AFRAID OF? SOMETIMES, IT'S BETTER TO STOP ASKING QUESTIONS. SO YOU INVITED ME HERE JUST TO SHOW ME THE DOOR? IF YOU CONTINUE TO TRY TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY FAMILY, I WILL PERSONALLY SEE TO IT THAT YOU AND WAYNE ENTERPRISES WILL COME TO SEVERELY REGRET THAT DECISION. I ALWAYS WONDERED WHO MY BIRTH MOTHER WAS. NOW I KNOW. SOMEONE NOT WORTH MY TIME. I'M GLAD WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE. MAN: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. I MISSED IT? DAMN. SEE, THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR SECOND-GUESSING MY KICKS. I WENT DEEP VAULT FOR YOU, WILDER. WORTH IT? I ACTUALLY USED TO HAVE THOSE IN BLUE. THERE YOU GO. WORTH IT. SEE, WE'RE CONNECTING ALREADY. MARQUIS, I THOUGHT YOU WERE ON YOUR WAY TO "METROPOLIS" MAGAZINE'S INFLUENCER PARTY TONIGHT. I WAS. THEN I HEARD YOU WERE SITTING DOWN WITH A NEW, YOUNG CEO WITHOUT ME, AND I FIGURED IT WAS A SCHEDULING OVERSIGHT, SO I BOUNCED. I AM SORRY. WHO ARE YOU? YOU'RE NEW NEW. THAT'S COOL. I WON'T TAKE ANY OFFENSE. I'M JETURIAN INDUSTRIES' EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT. MARQUIS JET. ALSO KNOWN AS MY SON. MAN: ## CANNONBALL ## YOU WERE VERY CLEAR ABOUT KNOWING THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. YOU WEREN'T EVEN SURE IF YOU WANTED TO GET TO KNOW JADA, SO KNOWING SHE HAD ANOTHER KID, IT WOULD HAVE JUST COMPLICATED IT MORE. THE KID SHE KEPT WHILE SHE GAVE ME AWAY. WAS HE COOL AT LEAST? I HAVE NO IDEA. JADA KICKED ME OUT OF THERE SO FAST, I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO GET MY PARKING VALIDATED. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I WANTED TO KEEP THAT DOOR CLOSED. -SO WHAT NOW? -YOU DIDN'T HEAR? MR. FREEZE'S LIQUID NITROGEN CAN GOT IN THE HANDS OF A BUNCH OF EIGHT GRADERS. I NEED TO FIND IT. I MEAN ABOUT YOUR MOM. WHAT CAN I DO? WHAT DO YOU NEED? MARY: YOU POOR THING. -I'M SO SORRY, RYAN. -THANKS. IT SUCKS, BUT...I'LL BE FINE. OK. FIRST, HOW DARE SHE, AND SECOND, HOW'D YOU KNOW SHE WAS STILL ALIVE? (ALICE COUGHING) (SIGHS) OK. EVERYONE WAS LIKE, "BOO-HOO. EVIL ALICE KILLED RYAN'S MOM." AS IF IT WASN'T BAD ENOUGH. AND NOW AGAINST ALL ODDS, I MIRACULOUSLY PROVIDE HER WITH ANOTHER ONE, AND YOU GUYS ARE JUST BITCHING AND MOANING-- (COUGHS) CAN I GET SOME WATER? PLEASE, SOMEONE. RYAN: OK. PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE SOME INFO ON THIS FREEZE STUFF. SO THE CANISTER ITSELF IS A COMPACT, CUSTOM-BUILT VACUUM FLASK THAT MAKES ITS CONTENTS, AKA THE FREEZE STUFF, MORE CONCENTRATED AND SEEMINGLY LESS DANGEROUS THAN IT IS. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. SO THE KID LIKELY FOUND IT NEAR THE GOTHAM RIVER, THOUGHT IT WAS A HARMLESS DRY-ICE GUN. ALICE: ALL RIGHT. I'M REALLY NOT FEELING WELL. I THINK IT'S ALL THESE TRACKING NANOBOTS INSIDE ME. MY SKIN, IT, UM, FEELS LIKE SPIDERS ARE RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS. OK. THAT'S NOT A THING. LUKE: WAYNE TECH USES NANOBOT INJECTABLES IN THEIR RESEARCH ALL THE TIME. RYAN: ARE YOU CALLING IN SICK? IS THAT WHAT THIS IS? MONTOYA WANTS US TO WORK TOGETHER. MY TEAM GETS A BEAD ON THE BATMAN TROPHY, AND THEN YOU USE YOUR CREEPY-ASS BRAIN TO HELP US FIGURE OUT WHERE IT IS. AND I WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE TRULY THAN TO TALK ABOUT AN ERRANT CAN OF LIQUID NITROGEN, BUT I AM FINDING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO FOCUS THROUGH MY PAIN, AND I WOULD HATE MS. MONTOYA TO THINK THAT OUR LITTLE ARRANGEMENT DIDN'T WORK ON ACCOUNT OF ME BEING IN A HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT. RYAN: OH, MY GOD. WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS? YOU KNOW, IT'S PROBABLY NOT THE WORST THING IF YOU GIVE ALICE THE SICK DAY. WHY DOES SHE GET A DAY OFF? BECAUSE I KNOW WHERE THE CANISTER IS. PLUS I DOUBT THAT YOU'LL WANT ONE OF GOTHAM'S MOST WANTED WITH YOU BREAKING INTO THE GCPD. -I'M IN. -COOL. I CAN ONLY KEEP THE CAMERAS DARK FOR 5 MINUTES, SO START LOOKING. YOU SURE IT'S HERE? LOGS SAY IT WAS TAGGED AND FILED AT 10:07 A.M. THIS MORNING NO RECORD OF ANYONE REMOVING IT. I THINK I KNOW WHY BATMAN KEPT HIS OWN EVIDENCE LOCKER. WHAT IS THIS? WHAT DID YOU DO? I FOUND IT, NORA. WE CAN FINALLY FINISH WHAT VICTOR STARTED. YOU STOLE VICTOR'S FREEZE TANK? (CRASH) NORA FRIES! HA HA HA! YOU ARE GONNA TELL ME HOW YOU WERE FROZEN FOR 20 YEARS... AND LIVED TO TALK ABOUT IT. LUKE: I WAS ABLE TO COMPARE ENTRY AND EXIT FOOTAGE FROM THE TIME OF THE THEFT AND TRACK DOWN WHO BROKE INTO THE EVIDENCE ROOM FIRST. -ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT? -DEE WORKS AT THE GCPD PROCESSING DESK. SHE'S ONE OF A FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACCESS TO THE EVIDENCE ROOM SECURE BACK AREA. DEE ALSO CALLED IN SICK TODAY, AND THIS LADY'S NEVER CALLED IN SICK ONCE IN 20 YEARS. OK, BUT ALL THE ITEMS IN THE EVIDENCE ROOM, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING EASIER TO FENCE. WHICH IS WHAT I THOUGHT. WHY WOULD ANYONE RISK EVERYTHING FOR THIS STUFF APART FROM THE GUY WHO INVENTED IT? WAIT. YOU MEAN THE MR. FREEZE DUDE? -I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD. -VICTOR FRIES. HE IS. BRILLIANT CRYOBIOLOGIST, HALF A DOZEN DOCTORATES, STILL INSISTED ON BEING CALLED MR. FREEZE, BUT THEN AGAIN, CAPTAIN COLD WASN'T REALLY A CAPTAIN, SO... WHO'S THAT? AH, YES. THAT IS NORA FRIES IN AN ARKHAM INTAKE PHOTO TAKEN 3 YEARS AGO. SO NORA WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MacGREGOR'S SYNDROME, A PROGRESSIVE LUNG DISEASE THAT AT THE TIME OF HER DIAGNOSIS HAD NO CURE, SO VICTOR CREATED A UNIQUE LIQUID NITROGEN FORMULA TO SUPPLY HER CRYOCHAMBER THAT KEPT HER IN STASIS UNTIL A CURE COULD BE FOUND. AND HE DIED BEFORE IT HAPPENED. WELL, EVENTUALLY, HER CRYOCHAMBER RAN OUT OF VICTOR'S LIQUID NITROGEN COCKTAIL, SO WHEN SHE THAWED, NORA LEARNED THAT DOCTORS FOUND A CURE FOR MacGREGOR'S, SO THEY ADMINISTERED IT, BUT SHE WAS SO DISORIENTED BY THE 20-YEAR TIME GAP THAT OFFICIALS SENT HER TO ARKHAM. SHE ESCAPED IN A BREAKOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND HAS BEEN MIA EVER SINCE. -SO WHAT'S THE CONNECTION? -DEE SMITHY IS NORA FRIES' SISTER. SEND ME THE ADDRESS. I'LL FIRE UP THE BATMOBILE. OK. (ALARM BLARING) UH, WHO'S BOUNCING A BASKETBALL OFF OF BRUCE WAYNE'S SHELF OF FIRST EDITIONS? THAT WOULD BE... MY BROTHER. MAN: ## JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE GAME ## ## I CHANGE THE RULES ## ## YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD IT FIGURED OUT ## ## I HAD YOU FOOLED ## OOH. THE GIRL'S GOT REFLEXES. YOU PLAY? YEAH. IN ALL MY SPARE TIME. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? FREE FOR A DRINK LATER? JADA DIDN'T TELL YOU ABOUT ME? TELL ME WHAT, WILDER? SHE MADE IT VERY CLEAR SHE WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH WAYNE ENTERPRISES AND THAT I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HER. OOH! YOU RUFFLED SOME FEATHERS. WHAT'D YOU DO? BECAUSE NORMALLY, SHE EATS THAT RAGS TO RICHES STUFF UP. REMINDS HER OF HERSELF. SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW MY STORY? 27, RAISED IN THE SYSTEM, STINT AT BLACKGATE, AND NOW...ACTING CEO OF WAYNE. OH, AND, UH, YOU'RE MY SISTER. SHE TOLD YOU THAT? SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO. HOW DID YOU FIGURE THIS OUT? OH, NANNYIES TALK LIKE MINE DID WHEN MOMS DISAPPEARED FOR 9 MONTHS STRAIGHT. HEARD ABOUT IT AS A KID YEARS LATER. WHY HER AND MY OLD MAN DIDN'T SPEAK FOR A FULL SUMMER AFTER THAT. SO IT WAS AN AFFAIR. THEN WE FAST FORWARD 27 YEARS, HERE'S SOME BADASS CHICK ONE YEAR YOUNGER THAN ME, SHOWS UP AT THE COMPANY, THROWS MY MOM OFF HER GAME, AND HAS GOT HER SCHEDULING ALL THESE SECRET MEETINGS WHILE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE OUT OF TOWN. POOF! HERE YOU ARE, THE SISTER I NEVER KNEW I HAD. I--I WOULD ASK YOU FOR A HUG, BUT YOU LOOK LIKE YOU COULD KICK MY ASS, SO... PRETTY SURE YOUR MOM MIGHT BEAT ME TO IT. OUR MOM. I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE HERE. BUT I ALREADY PICKED OUT MY OFFICE NEXT TO YOURS. -WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? -BECAUSE IT'S THE CORNER. WAY BETTER VIEW. I MEAN, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU'RE IN THIS PLACE. IT'S SO...LIMITED. YOU WANT TO PARTNER WITH WAYNE ENTERPRISES? MOM THINKS THAT I'M IN THIS JUST FOR THE PJs AND FREE CONCERT TICKETS, WHICH WOULD MEAN I'D BE AN HONORARY VP UNTIL SHE'S DEAD IN HER LOUBIES UNLESS I MAKE MY MARK, SHOW HER WHAT I CAN DO. SAME WITH YOU. WHY DON'T YOU SHOW HER WHAT SHE MISSED OUT ON THE LAST 30 YEARS? WHAT DO YOU SAY, SIS? WANT TO JOIN FORCES, SHOW HER WHAT WE GOT? LUKE: YOU SAID YOU'D THINK ABOUT IT? RYAN: I COULDN'T EXACTLY ASK HIM TO WAIT IN THE LOBBY WHILE I FOLLOWED THE 20 ON A MISSING FREEZE TANK. WHAT EXACTLY IS THERE TO THINK ABOUT? WHAT IT MIGHT BE LIKE TO ACTUALLY HAVE A BROTHER. OK. I GET THAT, BUT JADA JET DIDN'T EARN HER SPOT ON THE "FORBES" 150 BY MAKING IDLE THREATS. SHE LITERALLY PROMISED TO DESTROY WAYNE ENTERPRISES. OK, OK. I'M IN DEE'S HOUSE. WE'RE LATE TO THE PARTY. SOMEONE WAS HERE, AND IT GOT UGLY. NO SIGN OF DEE OR THE FREEZE TANK OR THE ROOMMATE WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT. I THINK NORA'S LIVING HERE. WAIT. I THOUGHT YOU SAID THEY FOUND THE CURE FOR MacGREGOR'S SYNDROME. THEY DID. ACCORDING TO NORA'S MEDICAL RECORDS, SHE RECEIVED IT YEARS AGO. OK. WELL, FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, SHE'S STILL SICK. MAYBE IT DIDN'T TAKE. MAYBE DEE WANTED TO PUT NORA BACK IN HER CRYOCHAMBER TO SAVE HER SISTER'S LIFE. SO WHO BROKE INTO THE HOUSE? SOMEONE AFTER THE SAME THING? I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU KNOW WHERE ONE WOULD FIND A CRYOCHAMBER. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ACE CHEMICALS? ONLY THAT NO GOOD THING EVER HAPPENED THERE. AND I'M SENDING YOU THE ADDRESS NOW. HERE. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CRYOGENICS. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW KEPT METICULOUS NOTES. (NORA GRUNTS) WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? NORA: JUST LEARNED MY SISTER WAS GONNA PUT ME ON ICE, AND NOW I GOT A GUN ON MY BAD HIP. WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M GONNA DO, RUN? THESE ARE THE MUSINGS OF A MADMAN. I CAN'T READ THIS. YOU GOT TO SHOW ME HOW IT WORKS. HOW ON EARTH WOULD WE KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT THAT? THEY DIDN'T EVEN OFFER SCIENCE TO WOMEN WHEN I WAS AT UNIVERSITY. SHOW ME... OR SHE DIES. (MOTOR WHIRRING, AIR HISSING) BP AND HEART RATE TOTALLY NORMAL. 98.6. GLUCOSE LEVELS ARE AS AVERAGE AS THEY COME, WHICH ARE ALL COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAKING IT! OHH! (COUGHS) YOU KNOW, WITH CARE LIKE THIS, IT'S AMAZING YOU MANAGED TO SAVE ANY LIVES. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU, ALICE, AT LEAST NOT PHYSICALLY. I'M SORRY. I THINK MY DANGEROUSLY HIGH FEVER IS INTERFERING WITH WHATEVER YOU ARE HINTING AT. THE POSTCARDS FROM DAD? HEH. YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY. I WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF JEALOUS OF YOU WHEN I THOUGHT THAT HE WAS WRITING TO YOU AND NOT ME, AND THEN WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS JUST YOU BEING TOTALLY DELUSIONAL, IT HONESTLY WAS A RELIEF. I'M SO GLAD MY MADNESS HAS SOOTHED YOUR DADDY ISSUES. DOES THAT HAPPEN A LOT, THOSE DELUSIONS? -JUST THE ONCE. -MM-HMM. SO THIS WHOLE PERFORMATIVE "I'M SICK"... (COUGHS) THING ISN'T, HMM, I DON'T KNOW, A CRY FOR HELP MAYBE? I LEARNED A LONG TIME AGO THAT CRIES FOR HELP DON'T WORK. LOOK. I'M AN OFFICIAL DOCTOR NOW, SO IF YOU NEED ACTUAL HELP, I HAVE TO GIVE IT TO YOU. SO...DO YOU? I SEE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. YOU COULDN'T HELP BATBOY, SO NOW YOU'RE BURDENING ME WITH YOUR SAVIOR COMPLEX. -BATBOY? -YEAH. LUKE. IT SAYS IN HIS FILES HE'S HAVING SOME UNFORTUNATE PERFORMANCE ISSUES. YOU WENT THROUGH MY FILES? OK. THAT CABINET IS LOCKED. I BROKE OUT OF THE CROWS WITH A FISHING LINE. YOUR OFFICE WAREHOUSE CABINET DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE. ANYWAY, IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR TAKING FOREVER TO SEE ME AND NOT GIVING ME ANY MAGAZINES. I ASSUME THAT BATWOMAN KNOWS SHE'S WORKING WITH AN EMOTIONAL TICKING TIME BOMB. BATWOMAN DOESN'T BREAK INTO MY FILE CABINET BECAUSE IT'S CALLED DOCTOR-PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY. PERFECT. I'M NOT A DOCTOR, SO WHAT'S THE ISSUE? (SIGHS) HMM. NOW YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE. THAT IS A DILEMMA. DO YOU TELL BOSSY PANTS BATWOMAN THAT LUKE'S IGNORING HIS PTSD SYMPTOMS, OR DO YOU KEEP LUKE'S SECRET BECAUSE YOU LOVE HIM? I DO NOT LOVE LUKE... LIKE THAT. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. SURE, BUT A LITTLE PIECE OF ADVICE. I'D KEEP THAT TO YOURSELF. TELLING RYAN WILL ONLY, UM, FILL YOU WITH RESENTMENT. HOW DO YOU FIGURE? BECAUSE SHE'LL IGNORE YOU, MARY. I'M SORRY. DO YOU NOT SEE YOUR PLACE ON THIS TEAM? I'VE BEEN ON IT FOR LESS THAN A MONTH, AND IT'S ALREADY GLARINGLY OBVIOUS. THEY DON'T SEE YOU UNLESS THEY NEED YOU JUST LIKE DADDY AND JUST LIKE KATE, SO IF YOU WANT TO GO ON LIKING THEM, IT'S PROBABLY BEST YOU KNOW YOUR PLACE. WATCH YOUR 6. GOT A READ ON SOME MAJOR FIREPOWER IN THE SOUTH PARKING LOT. I GOT EYES ON 3 MORE INSIDE. LUKE: COPY THAT. BE CAREFUL, BATWOMAN. WOMAN: THIS IS GOING TO MAKE MY CLIENT VERY HAPPY. NORA: UNTIL HE REALIZES IT DOESN'T WORK. DEE: CAN IT, NORA. DO YOU THINK WE'RE WALKING OUT OF HERE? HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR FACES? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DOESN'T WORK? DEE: IT WORKS FINE. JUST A LITTLE DUST, A FEW DISINFECTANT WIPES. THE CHAMBER WORKS. IT'LL FREEZE YOU SOLID, BUT YOU DIE OF HYPOTHERMIA EVENTUALLY. WELL, THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS STUFF? CONSTANT EXPOSURE TO THE FREEZE SERUM WILL STOP TIME AND KEEP YOU FROM AGING. COMING OUT OF IT'S A WHOLE OTHER STORY. LOOK. MY HUSBAND WAS BRILLIANT, BUT HE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT ONCE I WAS RELEASED FROM THE CHAMBER AND THAWED TIME WOULD CATCH UP. 3 YEARS AGO, I CAME OUT OF THAT THING A 34-YEAR-OLD, AND LOOK AT ME NOW. AT THIS RATE, I'LL BE 122 BY CHRISTMAS. BUT YOUR SISTER'S ABOUT TO LOCK YOU BACK INSIDE OF IT. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP MY SISTER FROM DYING IS TO PUT HER BACK ON HER ICE TILL I CAN FIND A WAY TO SLOW THE AGING. THAT'S SOME DEDICATION. (SIGHS) WELL, IF WHAT SHE'S SAYING IS TRUE, THIS IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM. MAN: AGH! ADD ME TO THAT LIST. GET OUT OF HERE. (ALL GRUNTING) -CAN YOU WALK? -BETTER THAN HER. OK. THERE'S A CLINIC ON RUCKA AND BENNETT. IT'S NOT FAR. THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU. -I CAN'T LEAVE DEE. -I'LL FIND HER. (BOTH GRUNTING) UNH! (GRAPPLING LINE WHIPS) (WHOOSH, THUD) A GUN? COULD YOU BE MORE BASIC? COME ON. LET'S DO THIS. RAAH! (BOTH GRUNTING) COME ON! WOMAN: HYAH! (RYAN KNOCKS ON WINDOW) ALL RIGHT. LET'S SEE THIS THING IN ACTION. UH-UH. MY CLIENT WANTS TO KNOW HOW IT WORKS WITHOUT WASTING THE PRODUCT. BUT THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF VICTOR'S LIQUID NITROGEN. THE FORMULA IS WHAT KEEPS HER ALIVE. TURNING ON THE MACHINE WITHOUT IT WILL JUST BLAST HER WITH COLD AIR. SHE'LL DIE FROM HYPOTHERMIA. DOES IT LOOK LIKE I CARE? I'M NOT KILLING BATWOMAN. HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'S GONNA TAKE FOR MY DRIVER TO FIND YOUR SISTER JUST HOBBLING DOWN RUCKA STREET AND MAKE HER ROADKILL? TURN IT ON, OR YOUR SISTER DIES. (GAS HISSING) HMM. IF BATWOMAN DOESN'T DIE, YOU DO. TAKE HER TO THE CAR. SHH. BATWOMAN TO BATCAVE. GONNA NEED A LITTLE HELP. WHOA. TALK TO ME. WHAT IS HAPPENING? THEY TRAPPED ME IN THE CRYOCHAMBER. -WHAT?! -GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE. I'M PULLING UP YOUR BIOMETRICS. YOUR CORE BODY TEMPERATURE'S DROPPING LIKE CRAZY. HEH. YEAH. I'M PRETTY AWARE OF THAT. OK, OK, OK. ACCESS THE SUIT'S TEMP REGULATOR. YEAH. (BEEPING) OH, BOY. SERIOUSLY, YOU COULDN'T KEEP THAT TO YOURSELF? THE REGULATOR MUST HAVE FROZEN UP. YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES BEFORE FULL-BLOW HYPOTHERMIA. YOU NEED TO STAY AWAKE, OK? (BREATHING HEAVILY) LUKE... YOU NEED TO SUIT UP. HELP DEE. THEY TOOK HER SOMEWHERE. WHAT? NO. I GOT TO KEEP YOU FROM PASSING OUT. I AM OK. GO FIND HER. IF YOU PASS OUT, IT'S OVER, RYAN. I WON'T. OK? GO FIND HER. I PROMISED... I PROMISED NORA I WOULD PROTECT HER SISTER. PLEA--PLEASE DON'T LET ME DIE A LIAR. (SHIVERING) NORA: ANY WORD FROM DEE? BATWOMAN'S ON IT. SHE WON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOUR SISTER. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED CATARACT SURGERY? IT WOULD BE A BIT LIKE CLEANING THE WINDOWS ON THE HINDENBURG. DR. HAMILTON, I WAS 34 FOR 2 DECADES. I GOT OUT AND STARTED AGING DOUBLE-TIME. LIFE'S CATCHING UP TO ME. WHY STAND IN THE WAY? THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED-- TO LITERALLY STAND IN THE WAY OF TIME. I HAVE AN IDEA! LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT I WANT. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? GET THESE NANOBOTS OUT OF ME NOW! YOU KNOW I CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY THING PREVENTING YOU FROM ESCAPING GOTHAM ENTIRELY. OH. I WONDER WHY I'D WANT THEM GONE. GET THEM OUT! BATWOMAN WOULD KILL ME. AND I WILL KILL NORA. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND CAUSE AND EFFECT? -HOW DO YOU HAVE AN MD? -LET HER. MARY: WHAT? ALICE: WHAT? I AM SO SICK OF PEOPLE SACRIFICING THEIR LIVES FOR ME-- MY HUSBAND, MY SISTER, THE RESEARCH, THE LOST YEARS, THE DESPERATION. FOR WHAT? SO I COULD BE TRAPPED ALL OVER AGAIN? SO YOU WANT ME TO KILL YOU? COULD YOU BE A WORSE HOSTAGE? UHH! YOU. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? I LITERALLY JUST LET HER GO. I WAS BEING NICE TO YOU. NICE? YOU THINK I WANT...NICE? YOU THINK I WANT THIS STUPID ARRANGEMENT WITH BATWOMAN, WHO I CAN'T EVEN STAND, AND LITTLE MISS JUDGY TWO-SHOES BEING NICE? HA HA HA! HEH. HEH. (SIGHING) IT'S NO WONDER I'M LOSING MY FREAKING MIND. (DOOR SLAMS) I AM...SO SORRY ABOUT THAT. UM...BELIEVE IT OR NOT, SHE'S MY SISTER. HEH. YOU CERTAINLY FIGHT LIKE IT, BUT I'VE GOT TO SAY I UNDERSTAND HER. YOU UNDERSTAND THE WOMAN WHO JUST HAD YOU AT KNIFEPOINT? I FOLLOW THE NEWS. SHE'S BEEN TRAPPED HER WHOLE LIFE, AND NOW SHE WANTS HER FREEDOM. DOES YOUR SISTER KNOW THAT THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT? DEE'S WASTED TOO MANY YEARS OF HER LIFE TRYING TO FIX ME. I LOVE HER TOO MUCH TO TELL HER THE TRUTH. SOPHIE, ON COMMS: BATCAVE TO BATWOMAN. BATCAVE TO BATWOMAN. RYAN: SOPHIE. AHH. BATWING'S EN ROUTE. ARE YOU GOOD? I'M FADING. I JUST WANT TO SLEEP. YEAH. THAT'S THE HYPOTHERMIA TALKING. YEAH. WELL, IT'S AWFULLY CONVINCING. YEAH, BUT YOU CAN BEAT IT, BUT YOU GOT TO STAY AWAKE. IF YOU SLEEP, YOU DIE. OHH. I CAN'T... I CAN'T STAY AWAKE. THEN MAYBE THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO TELL YOU I'M MAD AT YOU. ME? WHAT DID I DO? WHERE DO WE STAND? YOU AND ME? BECAUSE YOU WERE WILLING TO HAVE ME DO ALL THE DIRTY WORK TO FIND YOUR MOM, BUT WHEN IT CAME TO SHARING HOW YOU ACTUALLY FELT ABOUT HER, YOU WENT STRAIGHT TO THE BATTEAM. HANG ON. YOU'RE TELLING ME... THAT I HURT YOUR FEELINGS? I'M TELLING YOU YOU DON'T KNOW ME AT ALL. YOU THINK YOU DO, BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA. OK. HEH. CAPTIVE AUDIENCE HERE. WHAT SHOULD I-- WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT? (ALARM CHIMES) BATWOMAN, DON'T FALL ASLEEP ON ME. BATWOMAN! RYAN! RYAN, WAKE UP! (CLANG) (PEOPLE GRUNTING) WOMAN: RAAH! (AIR HISSING) HEY. HEY. I GOT YOU. YOU'RE OK. SOPHIE: BATWOMAN, ARE YOU GOOD? BATWING! SOMEONE TALK TO ME! CHECK IN! UH, YEAH. SHE'S OK. SHE'S OK. SHE'S CONSCIOUS. I GOT HER. (TIRES SQUEALING) (SHE DREW THE GUN'S "RESISTER" PLAYING) SOPHIE, ON COMMS: TRAFFIC CAMS FOUND US TWO VEHICLES MATCHING THE SUVs FROM ACE NORTHBOUND ABOUT 6 MILES OUT. GOT A GLIMPSE OF DEE IN THE BACK. SO SHE'S ALIVE. THANK GOD. -CLEVER. -ME? SOPHIE. ME? THE WAY YOU KEPT ME FROM NODDING OFF BACK THERE. YOU'RE CLEVER, WHICH MEANS YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE IS SOMETHING I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT YOU. I WILL TAKE THAT AS A THANK YOU. ARE YOU FLIRTING WITH SOPHIE RIGHT NOW? WHAT? NO. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I KNOW WHAT FLIRTING IS. WHAT WAS THAT? I AM NOT FLIRTING WITH SOPHIE. GUYS...COMMS...ON. OW. (BEEP BEEP BEEP) THEY JUST TURNED ONTO THE TRICORNER BRIDGE. SHE DREW THE GUN: ## HEY, SISTER, DON'T LET YOUR HEART ## ## CLOSE ITS FIST, YEAH ## ## YOU GOT TO GET UP, BE A RESISTER ## ## YOU GOT TO GET UP, BE A RESISTER ## ## YOU GOT TO GET UP, BE A RESISTER ## GOT THEM. ## DON'T LET YOUR HEART CLOSE ITS FIST, YEAH ## ## YOU GOT TO GET UP, BE A RESISTER ## HOLD THIS. ## DON'T LET YOUR HEART CLOSE ITS FIST, YEAH ## ## YOU GOT TO GET UP, BE A RESISTER ## ## YOU GOT TO GET UP, BE A RESISTER ## ## YOU GOT TO GET UP, BE A RESISTER ## ## YOU GOT TO GET UP, BE A RESISTER ## (RAPID BEEPING) (TIRES SQUEALING) WE'RE GOOD! WE LOST THEM! (ENGINE REVVING) SOPHIE: NOT TO STATE THE OBVIOUS, BUT YOU DO SEE THAT IMPOSSIBLE GAP IN THE BRIDGE, CORRECT? I NEED A COPY ON THE CHUNK OF BRIDGE MISSING AT YOUR 12 O'CLOCK. (TIRES SQUEALING) CONTROL FREAK. ADD THAT TO YOUR LIST, TOO. BATWOMAN, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? IT'S WORKING! (BEEPING) GUN IT NOW! RYAN: WHOO OOH! YEAH-EAH! WHOO! THAT WAS BADASS. YOU GOT TO ADMIT. THAT WAS BADASS. IT WAS INTERESTING. INTERESTING? WOMAN, YOU ARE HARD TO PLEASE. HURRY UP! SHE'S GAINING! (GUNSHOTS) (TIRES SQUEALING) GET OUT. GET OUT. LET HER GO. (DEE WHIMPERS) LET'S HOPE VICTOR TOOK GOOD NOTES. (TIRES SQUEALING) (GRUNTING) UGH! (DOOR SHUTS) UGH. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO ME? NOT MUCH LEFT, BUT RENEE WAS WILLING TO CROSS IT OFF HER LIST. THANKS FOR HAVING MY BACK BACK THERE. GUESS IT'S SAFE TO SAY YOU FIGURED OUT THE GLITCHES IN YOUR SUPERSUIT. YOU COULD SAY THAT. MARY: IT'S BECAUSE HE DISABLED THE FAILSAFE. HIS DAD DESIGNED THE SUIT TO REACT TO LUKE'S PHYSIOLOGY. A SURGE IN HEART RATE SHUTS IT DOWN. THAT SEEMS COUNTERINTUITIVE. IT'S BECAUSE HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO WEAR IT UNTIL HE'S READY. MARY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I SHOULDN'T HAVE CLEARED YOU FOR FIELD DUTY. I'M SORRY. I PUT YOUR LIFE AND THIS TEAM IN JEOPARDY. YOU WANT TO WORRY ABOUT THE TEAM? WORRY ABOUT THE PSYCHOPATH WHO HELD NORA AT KNIFEPOINT TODAY. ALICE WAS HAVING A TEMPER TANTRUM. YOU WERE HAVING A PHYSIOLOGICAL REACTION TO STRESS. LOOK. I'M THE TEAM DOCTOR. I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I HEAR YOU, MARY, AND THANK YOU, BUT I WOULDN'T BE STANDING HERE IF BATWING HADN'T BEEN WITH ME LAST NIGHT. MARY: AND WHAT ABOUT NEXT TIME? THAT'S THE RISK WE BOTH TAKE. NO OFFENSE, RYAN, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE PTSD FROM BEING SHOT. LUKE: I DON'T HAVE PTSD. OK. GIVE IT TO ME STRAIGHT. ARE YOU UP FOR THIS? ABSOLUTELY. OK. THEN KEEP AN EYE ON IT, BUT UNTIL WE GET THESE WEAPONS OFF THE STREET, I NEED LUKE BY MY SIDE. I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING. NO, YOU DIDN'T. THANK YOU. WOMAN: ## HOLD ON TIGHT ## ## HOLD ON... ## YOU DON'T SLEEP, DO YOU? ## TIGHT ## ## NO TURNING BACK ## HE KNOWS I'M HIS SISTER. -HOW? -HE'S SMART AND AMBITIOUS AND INCREDIBLY RECKLESS. HE WANTS TO WORK TOGETHER BEHIND JADA'S BACK. WHAT DO YOU WANT? IT'S FUNNY. WHEN IT CAME TO FAMILY, I NEVER ALLOWED MYSELF TO ASK THAT QUESTION, BUT THEN ALICE RIPPED OFF THE BAND-AID. UM... IF I'M BEING REAL... ## WADING IN THE SAME DEEP WATER ## I WANT A MOM WHO KNOWS ALL MY FOOD ALLERGIES AND TELLS ME MY SKIRT'S TOO SHORT AND TEXTS MY GIRLFRIEND ABOUT TV SHOWS THEY LIKE AND LOVES ME... UNCONDITIONALLY. THAT'S WHAT I WANT. I WANT A MOM. ## WE'RE WADING IN THE SAME DEEP WATER ## IT'S HER LOSS, RYAN. YEAH. WELL, JADA IS ONE OF THE MOST CONNECTED PEOPLE IN GOTHAM, WHICH MEANS MAKING HER MY ENEMY PUTS EVERY ONE I CARE ABOUT AT RISK. SO AS TEMPTING AS IT IS TO HAVE A BROTHER... I GOT TO PUT THE TEAM FIRST. ## BUT I'LL BE BY YOUR SIDE ## MARY: THERE'S A BRONCHODILATOR TO HELP WITH THE BREATHING AND MEDS TO HELP WITH THE PAIN. IT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO MANAGE THE PAIN THESE NEXT FEW DAYS. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO RISK BEING OUT? GCPD's PROBABLY OUT HUNTING FOR US AS WE SPEAK. BATWOMAN TOOK CARE OF IT. NEITHER ONE OF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THANK YOU, DR. HAMILTON. VICTOR AND I HAD OUR FIRST DATE IN THIS PARK. ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT TIRED? WE CAN GO HOME. DEE, I WANT TO BREATHE IN THE FRESH AIR WITH WHATEVER LUNGS I HAVE LEFT, AND THEN I WANT TO LET IT ALL GO. YOU'RE GIVING UP? I'VE BEEN DYING MY WHOLE LIFE, DEE. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO STOP TIME, THIS ONCE, WHAT DO YOU SAY WE ENJOY THE PRECIOUS MOMENTS WE HAVE LEFT? OHH! AAH! Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air. www.able.co.nz Able 2022
