PREVIOUSLY ON "BATWOMAN"...
ALICE WAS RIGHT.
YOUR MOM'S STILL ALIVE, RYAN.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HER NAME.
IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
SO, WHAT'S NEXT, BATWOMAN?
WE FIND THAT CASE OF BATMAN TROPHIES
BEFORE ANYONE ELSE DOES.
WHY DID YOU CALL ME HERE?
OVER A DOZEN WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION
ARE BELLY-UP IN THE GOTHAM RIVER SOMEWHERE.
SO, TOGETHER, YOU TWO
ARE GONNA FIND AND STOP EVERY FREAK
WHO GETS HIS HANDS ON ONE OF THESE WEAPONS

ARE FOUND AND ACCOUNTED FOR.

OK. I GET IT.
YOU CAN HOLD YOUR BREATH FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.
BUT I GOT NEWS FOR YOU.
THE WORLD ALREADY HAS AN AQUAMAN.
HE'S A LOT MORE RIPPED.
DEREK?
IF YOU'RE WAITING FOR ME TO SAY THIS ISN'T FUNNY, THEN FINE.
THIS ISN'T FUNNY. YOU CAN COME UP NOW.
OHH! AAH! AAH!
AAH!
BY THE ORDER OF THE MAYOR'S OFFICE,
IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN THESE CASES,
YOU WILL BE REMANDED INTO SUPERVISED CUSTODY.

ANY QUESTIONS?
YES.
DOES THIS KIND OF WRECK MY ENSEMBLE?
ANY QUESTIONS I'M LIKELY TO ANSWER?
I GOT ONE.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK ANY OF THIS IS GONNA STICK?
YOU.
BECAUSE YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE
FOR EVERYTHING SHE DOES.
SHE CROSSES THE LINE, YOUR DAYS
AS A CAPED VIGILANTE ARE OVER.
I MIGHT EVEN ARRANGE FOR YOU TWO
TO HAVE ADJOINING CELLS.
YOU'RE TYING MY FATE TO A PSYCHOPATH?
WELL, MORE LIKE HANDCUFFING IT, BUT YES.
UNTIL YOU TWO HAVE TRACKED DOWN
EVERY LAST ONE OF THOSE TOXIC TOYS
FROM BATMAN'S TROPHY CASE.
'CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER ONE'S ALREADY
RACKING UP A BODY COUNT.
IN A CRIME AS COLD-BLOODED
AS THE CREATURE SOME SAY IS RESPONSIBLE,
TWO GOTHAM UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ARE MISSING
AND PRESUMED DEAD AFTER BLOOD AND NOT MUCH ELSE
WAS FOUND AT THE SCENE,
SAVE FOR A GRISLY CALLING CARD
WHICH EERILY RESEMBLES THAT
OF BATMAN FOE KILLER CROC,
WHO TERRORIZED GOTHAM NEARLY TWO DECADES AGO
IN A VIOLENT REIGN OF REPTILIAN TERROR.
AND WHILE SOME INSIST THIS MAY JUST BE THE WORK
OF AN ATTENTION-SEEKING COPYCAT,
AUTHORITIES CAN'T SAY FOR SURE
WHETHER GOTHAM HAS A NEW LIZARD PROBLEM
OR IF THIS KILLER IS JUST A CROCK.
AND WHILE INITIAL SEARCHES FOR--
KILLER CROC, A.K.A. WAYLON JONES.
FORMER PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER WHO SUFFERED FROM
AN UNIDENTIFIED INFECTION
THAT CAUSED HIS SKIN TO GROW SCALES,
HENCE THE APPEARANCE OF A CROCODILE.
NOW, AS THE INFECTION PROGRESSED,
OTHER PHYSICAL ABNORMALITIES FOLLOWED--
ELONGATED JAW, CLAWS, TAIL.
I REMEMBER HIM.
BATMAN KILLED HIM, RIGHT?
OH, NO.
NO. NO, BRUCE TRIED TO SAVE HIM.
HE TOOK PITY ON HIM. HE ALWAYS THOUGHT
THAT HIS VIOLENT TENDENCIES
WERE A RESULT OF THE INFECTION.
HE ACTUALLY HAD WAYNETECH LABS
WORKING ON A CURE FOR HIS CONDITION.
A WAY TO REVERSE IT. BUT...
THEY NEVER FOUND IT, THOUGH.
SO, WHAT HAPPENED?
THE GCPD HAPPENED.
THEY HAD THEIR OWN IDEAS OF HOW TO DEAL WITH K.C.,
SO, THEY DROPPED A TRUCKLOAD OF THERMITE
INTO THE SEWER JUNCTION.
RIGHT ON TOP OF HIM.
LIT THE PRIMER CORD AND RAN.
SO, THAT TOOTH?
PRETTY MUCH ALL THAT WAS LEFT OF HIM.
AND NOW IT'S LOOSE.
OK, BUT HOW COULD A TOOTH
HAVE CREATED A WHOLE 'NOTHER CROC?
I MEAN, I GET A LIZARD
CAN GROW BACK A WHOLE NEW TAIL,
BUT PLEASE TELL ME THAT TOOTH
DIDN'T GROW BACK A WHOLE NEW KILLER CROC.
IF THE ORIGINAL KILLER CROC
SUFFERED FROM AN INFECTION,
THEN IT WOULD'VE GOTTEN INTO HIS BLOODSTREAM.
SO, MAYBE THE TOOTH CARRIED THE INFECTION.
AND WHOEVER FOUND IT...
WE NEED TO FIND THEM.
BUT THE QUESTION IS, HOW?
I HAVE A QUESTION.
WHY IS THERE A TREE IN HERE?
I MEAN, I GET THE WHOLE BAT MOTIF,
BUT THIS IS A, UM, 44-STORY BUILDING.
SURELY THERE'S A MORE COMFORTABLE WORKSPACE AVAILABLE.
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU BOTH.
IN PRIVATE.
I'M JUST GONNA HANG OUT HERE.
OK. IF NEW CROC'S ANYTHING LIKE THE OLD ONE,
I'M GONNA NEED BATWING ON MY 6.
WHERE ARE YOU WITH FIGURING OUT
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE SUIT?
UH, STILL WORKING ON IT BUT MAKING PROGRESS.
OK, WELL, WHY DON'T YOU TWO
PUT YOUR NERD BRAINS TOGETHER
AND TRY TO FAST-TRACK A FIX.
YEAH. YEAH, WE'LL GET ON IT.
KNOCK-KNOCK.
GOT MY HANDS ON A COPY OF
THE FORENSICS REPORT FROM THE POOL ATTACK.
FAIR WARNING-- THE WORD "SECRETION"
COMES UP IN SEVERAL PLACES,
BECAUSE APPARENTLY, HIS DROOL
CONTAINS A PARALYTIC AGENT
WHICH RENDERS HIS VICTIMS UNCONSCIOUS,
ALLOWING HIM TO
FEED ON THEM AT HIS LEISURE.
I SHOULD PROBABLY PUT IT OUT THERE RIGHT NOW
THAT I REALLY DO NOT DO REPTILES.
OK. LET'S GET ALICE ON THIS.
IF CRAZY STUFF'S GOING DOWN,
MAY AS WELL GET THE CRAZY LADY'S TAKE ON IT.
UM, WE DON'T REALLY USE
THE "C" WORD ANYMORE.
"CRAZY"?
WHAT THE HELL?
SEEMS WE HAVE A GUEST.
SECURITY CLEARED A LANDING REQUEST
FOR THE CEO OF JETURIAN INDUSTRIES.
JADA JET.
SHE'S APPARENTLY INSISTING ON A MEETING
WITH THE WAYNE CEO AND WILL NOT LEAVE
UNTIL SHE HAS ONE.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
WELL, WE CAN'T EXACTLY
TELL HER, "WE DON'T KNOW
WHERE OUR BILLIONAIRE CEO IS."
I HAVE A FEELING SHE'LL SETTLE
FOR THE ACTING CEO.
GREAT. WHO'S THE ACTING CEO?
ME.
KATE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE COULD HANDLE
ANY PROBLEMS THAT AROSE IN HER ABSENCE.
THOUGHT I'D JUST BE THE NAME ON THE LETTERHEAD.
OK. WELL, IF JADA JET
WANTS TO MEET WAYNE'S TOP-OP,
I'M GONNA NEED TO LOOK THE PART.
OH! ACTUALLY, YOU ARE IN LUCK,
BECAUSE I JUST PICKED UP
A TON OF DRY CLEANING.
AND WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO FIND OUT
WHAT OUR UNINVITED GUEST WANTS.
OK.
HEY. I KNOW YOU SAID
YOU DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW THIS,
BUT BEFORE YOU SIT DOWN WITH HER,
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY KNOW THAT...
THAT UNINVITED GUEST IS YOUR BIRTH MOTHER.
OK. TELL THE TRUTH.
DOES THIS SAY, "NO,
I HAVEN'T BEEN CEO FOR JUST 5 MINUTES"?
NO. IT SAYS, "I'M A CONFIDENT,
"PUT-TOGETHER, YOUNG BLACK WOMAN
WHO YOU WERE AN IDIOT TO EVER GIVE UP."
YOU THINK SHE KNOWS?
PRETTY BIG COINCIDENCE IF SHE DOESN'T.
WHAT DOES SHE WANT?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I JUST WANT TO GET THROUGH THIS MEETING
AND NEVER SEE HER AGAIN.
AND I WANT TO GET HER DAMN HELICOPTER
OFF OF MY ROOF.
OK. UM, AHEM,
WHAT IS THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM I NEED TO KNOW
TO GET THROUGH THIS UNSCATHED?
WHAT WOULD BRUCE WAYNE INSIST ON KNOWING ABOUT HER?
PROBABLY HER BRA SIZE.
JETURIAN INDUSTRIES
SPECIALIZES IN MICROTECHNOLOGY.
JADA JET TOOK CONTROL
AFTER THE DEATH OF HER HUSBAND
A DECADE AGO.
DOUBLED THE COMPANY'S WEALTH
IN HALF THAT TIME.
SHE'S A FIGHTER.
BUT SO ARE YOU.
SEND HER IN.
HEY. JUST REMEMBER,
SHE NEVER GAVE YOU ANYTHING,
SO, SHE CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING AWAY.
YOU GOT THIS.
♪ TALK HOW YOU TALK
♪ WALK HOW YOU WALK
♪ 'CAUSE I'D HAVE A PROBLEM SLEEPING ♪
♪ IF WE'RE COUNTING CRIMES, NICKELS AND DIMES ♪
♪ WE BOTH HAVE RICHES, BUT YOU'D BE THE... ♪
IF I HAD KNOWN WAYNE HAD A NEW CEO,
I WOULD HAVE SENT A GIFT BASKET.
♪ I COULD NEVER LOVE THEN WE COULDN'T MEET IN PERSON.
RYAN. AND IT'S ACTING CEO.
SO, BRUCE WAYNE CHECKS HIS STOCK PRICE
FROM A SUPERYACHT IN BELIZE
WHILE YOU DO ALL THE REAL WORK?
JADA JET.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
WERE YOU AND BRUCE ACQUAINTED?
WE EXCHANGED A FEW HEATED WORDS
YEARS AGO WHEN HE POACHED
ONE OF MY MOST VALUED EMPLOYEES.
IF YOUR EMPLOYEE ALLOWED HIMSELF
TO BE POACHED,
HE MUST'VE FELT UNDERVALUED.
BUT I'M ASSUMING YOU DIDN'T FLY 12 BLOCKS
FROM YOUR CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS
TO OPEN UP OLD WOUNDS.
NO. I'M HERE TO ADDRESS A NEW ONE.
THERE WAS AN ILLEGAL BREACH
OF THE JETURIAN INDUSTRIES SERVERS.
IT WAS A VERY SOPHISTICATED HACK.
BUT THE CULPRIT LEFT BEHIND A FEW
DIGITAL BREAD CRUMBS,
AND WE FOLLOWED THEM BACK
TO AN IP ADDRESS
BELONGING TO WAYNE ENTERPRISES.
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE?
WELL, IT DEPENDS.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
BECAUSE I THINK CORPORATE ESPIONAGE
IS MORE THAN ENOUGH REASON
TO HAVE A LITTLE CHAT.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
MM. IGNORANCE OF
WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR COMPANY
DOESN'T PASS FOR BUSINESS ACUMEN.
IF YOU HAD PROOF,
YOU'D BE TALKING TO THE SEC, NOT ME.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
BECAUSE I DIDN'T FORGE MY COMPANY
INTO A MULTINATIONAL CONGLOMERATE
TO HAVE SOMEONE SWOOP IN
AND STEAL MY LIFE'S WORK.
AND BECAUSE...
I BELIEVE WARNINGS ARE
BEST DELIVERED DIRECTLY.
AND I'LL ONLY GIVE ONE.
STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS.
THAT WON'T BE A PROBLEM.
AND I THINK YOU SHOULD DROP THE "ACTING"
FROM YOUR JOB TITLE.
DENYING YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS...
WAS NOT YOUR BEST PERFORMANCE.
YOUR DAD PROGRAMMED YOUR SUIT'S AI
TO SPEAK WITH HIS VOICE?
UH, DAD, SAY HELLO TO MARY.
HELLO, MARY.
GIVE IT A TRY.
MR. FOX? HI.
WHAT WAS LUKE LIKE AS A KID?
CALLING UP PHOTO RECORDS
FOR LUCAS FOX, AGE 6.
DAD, BELAY THAT REQUEST, PLEASE.
IT'S LIKE YOU CAN TALK TO HIM AGAIN.
IT'S...IT'S AMAZING.
IT WOULD BE MORE AMAZING IF THE SUIT DIDN'T
TURN OFF AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIMES.
ANY GUESSES WHY?
ACCORDING TO THIS DIAGNOSTIC,
THE SUIT'S FAILSAFE GOT TRIPPED,
CAUSING IT TO SHUT DOWN.
WHAT TRIPPED IT? WELL, THE SUIT TRACKS
ALL KINDS OF MEDICAL DATA--
BIOMETRICS, EYE MOVEMENT,
ELECTROMAGNETIC IMPULSES TO THE BRAIN, HEART RATE.
IT'S JUST CONSTANTLY MONITORING
THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE PERSON WEARING IT.
IF I'M READING THIS RIGHT,
THE SUIT THOUGHT YOU WERE INJURED.
YEAH, WHICH PROMPTED A SYSTEM-WIDE SHUTDOWN,
PUTTING THE SUIT IN SAFE MODE.
TURNING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT
BECAUSE IT THINKS YOU NEED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
SEEMS MORE LIKE UNSAFE MODE. YEAH.
WELL, THERE'S A REASON THAT THIS THING
WAS UNDER A TARP IN MY DAD'S LAB
AND NOT OUT ON PATROL IN GOTHAM.
STILL HAVE SOME GLITCHES TO WORK OUT.
WELL, WHY DON'T WE START BY MAKING SURE
THERE AREN'T ANY GLITCHES WITH YOU FIRST.
IF THE SUIT THINKS YOU'RE INJURED,
LET'S MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT.
UHH. UHH. AHH.
SO,
LET'S GET THIS MONSTER.
OH. I THOUGHT SHE FOUND YOU.
DID I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE
JADA JET'S CHOPPER ON THE ROOF?
SO, YOU KNEW HER NAME THIS ENTIRE TIME?
SHE'S KIND OF LIKE A HELICOPTER PARENT,
JUST WITHOUT THE PARENT.
I MEAN, REALLY. WHAT KIND OF MOTHER
ABANDONS THEIR DAUGHTER TO THE HORRORS
OF THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM TO LITERALLY
JET-SET AROUND THE GLOBE?
NO. NO.
WE'RE NOT DOING THIS.
RENEE SAID I HAVE TO WATCH YOU.
IT DOESN'T MEAN I HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU.
SO, YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW
WHERE CROC'S GONNA STRIKE NEXT?
FINE.
WELL, AS THE RESIDENT EXPERT
ON PREDATORY BEHAVIOR, I HAD SOME THOUGHTS
ON HOW MR., UH, CHOOSES HIS PREY.
I WAS THINKING BACK TO MY FIRST KILL,
FOR WHICH I CHOSE A GERIATRIC HARPY
WITH AN OXYGEN TANK. NOW,
DO YOU KNOW WHY I DID THAT?
BECAUSE YOU'RE A KILLER, ALICE.
NO. WELL, YES, BUT THAT'S NOT THE TAKEAWAY.
I CHOSE HER BECAUSE SHE WAS EASY PICKINGS.
SEE, WHEN A FLEDGLING PREDATOR
IS LEARNING HOW TO STALK ITS PREY,
IT SEEKS TO, UM,
SEPARATE ONE FROM THE HERD.
SO, HE WOULDN'T HAVE GONE AFTER
TWO VICTIMS FOR HIS FIRST HUNT.
LOOK AT YOU LEARNING TO THINK LIKE A KILLER.
WHICH MEANS THE POOL
WASN'T THIS CROC'S FIRST ATTACK.
AND IF IT WASN'T FOR ALL THE BLOOD
IN THE DEEP END...
THEY WOULD'VE JUST BEEN LISTED AS
MISSING PERSONS.
JUST LIKE THE MISSING PERSONS I FOUND
THAT WERE LAST SEEN
AT THE EAST RIVER SHORE.
A MERE TWO MILES FROM THE POOL ATTACK.
WELCOME TO HIS HUNTING GROUND.
AND WITH THE TEAM TRAILING BY ONE,
AN INCREDIBLE CROSS-FIELD PASS FROM MEGAN RAPINOE
TO ROOKIE SENSATION WHITNEY HUTCHINSON,
WHO FAKES OUT THE LAST DEFENDER,
AND SHE'S ON BREAKAWAY...
AND SCORES!
THE CROWD GOES WILD.
WE'RE ALL TIED UP WITH MINUTES LEFT IN THE GAME.
WHICH THE REFS ARE CALLING
ON ACCOUNT OF DARKNESS.
MOM! MM-MM.
ARGUING WITH THE REF WILL GET YOU
A YELLOW CARD.
FINE.
GROSS.
AAH!
ACCORDING TO THE 911 CALL,
YOU'RE RIGHT IN THE AREA WHERE
THE MISSING GIRL'S MOTHER SAID SHE WAS PLAYING.
GCPD'S EN ROUTE.
WELL, THEY'LL FIND
ABOUT AS MUCH AS WE HAVE,
WHICH ISN'T MUCH.
THERE HAS TO BE SOME SIGN OF HER THERE.
DRAG MARKS LEAD OFF IN THAT DIRECTION.
BUT THERE'S NO BODY PARTS, NO BLOOD.
HE DIDN'T FEED ON HER HERE.
WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE, GIVEN HE DID JUST
FEAST ON ALL-YOU- CAN-EAT COEDS.
THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF SECRETION, SOPHIE.
DIDN'T YOU SAY O.G. KILLER CROC'S SALIVA
CONTAINED A PARALYTIC AGENT?
THAT'S HOW HE SUBDUED HIS VICTIMS.
AND THEN STASH THEM AWAY FOR LATER.
IT'S BASICALLY LIKE A CROC-PANTRY,
FOR WHEN HE WANTS A DOGGY-BAG.
OK, THEN WE NEED TO FIND WHERE HE STASHED HER,
BECAUSE THAT GIRL COULD STILL BE ALIVE.
YEAH.
UNTIL HE GETS HUNGRY.
IS THAT CROC SKIN?
IT APPEARS OUR CROC IS A...GROWING BOY.
AAH!
AAH! OH!
SO, WHAT WAS SHE LIKE? MOMMY.
SHE WAS AMAZING.
AND THEN YOU TOOK HER FROM ME.
I MEANT BIRTH MOMMY.
BUT IF IT'LL BREAK THE ICE,
I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT MY MOM.
SHE HAD A REALLY GREAT HEAD ON HER SHOULDERS.
EMPHASIS ON THE WORD "HAD."
WHY DO YOU CARE?
WHY DO YOU KEEP PRETENDING NOT TO?
SURELY YOU GREW UP WONDERING
WHAT SHE WAS LIKE, AND
SEEING AS FATE, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS ME,
HAS BROUGHT YOU TOGETHER, I THINK I AT LEAST
DESERVE TO KNOW THAT MY EFFORTS HAVE PAID OFF.
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT JADA WAS LIKE?
SHE WAS AMAZING.
SHE WAS CONFIDENT, DIRECT,
FEARLESS, UNAPOLOGETIC.
SHE WAS A FREAKING MASTERCLASS
IN TAKING WHAT'S HERS.
AND LETTING IT GO, APPARENTLY.
DID IT HURT ALL THE MORE KNOWING
SHE DIDN'T WANT YOU IN HER LIFE?
NO. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT HER IN MINE.
SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHO I AM,
BUT I KNOW WHO SHE IS AND I DON'T NEED HER.
NOW SHUT UP AND HELP ME FIND THE TRAIL.
ACTUALLY...I THINK WE JUST FOUND WHERE IT ENDS.
YOU FIRST.
ME? THE ONE WHO'S
NOT WEARING IMPENETRABLE TACTICAL ARMOR?
THAT'S WHO YOU WANT TAKING POINT?
I'M NOT LETTING YOU OUT OF MY SIGHT, ALICE.
DO YOU REALLY THINK I'M GONNA RUN?
DO YOU REALLY THINK I'M GOING TO BELIEVE
THAT YOU GIVE A DAMN ABOUT STOPPING THIS CROC?
YES. I THINK YOU'RE GONNA RUN
THE FIRST CHANCE YOU GET.
SO, IT'S MY JOB NOT TO
GIVE YOU ANY CHANCES.
OH, THAT'S FUNNY. I THOUGHT IT WAS YOUR JOB
TO SAVE A LITTLE GIRL.
DON'T ACT LIKE YOU'RE HERE
TO DO THE GOOD DEED, ALICE.
YOU ONLY THINK ABOUT YOURSELF,
SO, DON'T YOU DARE USE
THAT LITTLE GIRL AS CAMOUFLAGE.
I WAS THAT LITTLE GIRL.
DON'T ACT LIKE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
WITH ABANDONMENT ISSUES.
I WILL NOT GIVE UP ON THIS GIRL
THE WAY EVERYONE GAVE UP ON ME.
UCCH! THAT SMELL.
ROTTING MEAT.
KINDA TAKES ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
BAIT.
THIS MEANS WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
HUNTING THIS MONSTER.
HE'S NOT A MONSTER.
HE'S MY SON.
THIS FEELS A BIT UNNECESSARY.
I'M FINE.
WELL, YOU'RE KEEPING FIT.
IN...MY OFFICIAL, PROFESSIONAL
MEDICAL OPINION.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR HEART RATE.
IT LOOKS GOOD.
LET'S HAVE A LISTEN TO YOUR LUNGS.
GOOD BREATH SOUNDS.
MM. YOUR HEART RATE IS RISING.
RISING...
STILL RISING.
NOW IT'S RACING.
LUKE, ARE YOU OK?
I--I--YEAH, YEAH.
I--I'M JUST-- I'M TICKLISH
AND YOUR HANDS ARE COLD.
YEAH. YEAH.
YOU'RE RIGHT. I--
YOU'RE TOTALLY FINE.
TOTALLY--YOU'RE TOTALLY FEELING FINE.
YOU CAN PUT YOUR SHIRT BACK ON.
YEAH. OK.
IF YOU WANT.
YOU SHOULD.
UH...YEAH. SO, LIKE I SAID,
IT'S JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE SUIT.
AHH. YEAH. MUST BE.
YOU THINK YOU CAN FIX IT?
YEAH. YEAH. IT SHOULD BE EASY.
I JUST NEED TO OVERRIDE THE FAILSAFE.
ARE YOU SURE THAT THAT'S A GOOD IDEA?
I MEAN, ISN'T THE POINT OF A FAILSAFE
TO KEEP YOU SAFE WHEN THE SUIT FAILS?
WHAT IF IT'S JUST TRYING TO PROTECT YOU?
I THINK IT'S BEING A LITTLE OVERPROTECTIVE.
KIND OF REMINDS ME OF A CERTAIN
NEWLY MINTED DOCTOR THAT I KNOW.
MY BOY DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT THOSE PEOPLE.
I'M SURE HE DIDN'T.
HE'S NOT A KILLER.
UNLIKE THAT ONE.
I WASN'T EXPECTING TO FIND ANYBODY DOWN HERE,
MUCH LESS A PAIR OF CELEBRITIES.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING TOGETHER, ANYWAY?
AREN'T Y'ALL SUPPOSED TO BE ENEMIES?
LONG STORY. SHE'S WORKING WITH ME.
THEY'RE A LITTLE SHORT-STAFFED
AT CITY HALL. THAT'S WHY.
WE WANT TO HELP YOUR SON.
WHY DON'T YOU START BY TELLING US
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
IT'S PROBABLY BETTER I SHOW YOU.
JUST BEFORE STEVEN
WAS HEADING OFF TO COLLEGE,
WE WENT ON A FATHER-SON FISHING TRIP.
HE HOOKED A BLUEGILL ON HIS VERY FIRST CAST.
BUT WHEN WE CUT THAT THING OPEN,
THERE WAS SOMETHING MIGHTY WEIRD INSIDE.
LET ME GUESS.
A RATHER LARGE CROCODILE TOOTH?
YEAH. STEVEN THOUGHT IT WOULD BE COOL
TO MAKE IT INTO A NECKLACE.
BUT HE CUT HIMSELF ON THE TOOTH.
CUT GOT INFECTED.
THEN STEVEN...STARTED CHANGING.
TRIED DOCTORS.
NONE OF THEM KNEW WHAT IT WAS.
THEY COULDN'T STOP THE CHANGES.
EVERY DAY, THERE WAS A LITTLE LESS STEVEN
AND A LITTLE MORE...CREATURE.
AND THAT'S WHEN THE APPETITE TOOK HOLD OF HIM.
AND I HAD TO CHAIN HIM UP. BUT HE WAS JUST TOO STRONG.
TOO HUNGRY. HE BROKE FREE.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO LURE HIM BACK.
YOU REALLY ROLLED OUT THE RED CARPET FOR HIM.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.
BUT WE REALLY DO WANT TO HELP YOUR SON,
AND WE HAVE TO START BY MAKING SURE
HE DOESN'T HURT THAT LITTLE GIRL OR ANYONE ELSE.
YEAH, BUT I JUST DON'T THINK HE'S GONNA
AGREE TO BEING LOCKED UP AGAIN.
THAT'S WHERE THIS COMES IN.
YOU THINK THAT THING'S STRONG ENOUGH FOR HIM?
YEAH. BUT IT'S NOT FOR HIM.
IT'S FOR YOU.
AAH!
I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU HURT MY BOY.
AAH! OH!
BATWOMAN, I'M READING A HUGE POWER SPIKE.
IS EVERYTHING OK?
BATWOMAN, DO YOU READ ME?
BATWOMAN!
I'M SORRY. I REALLY AM.
BUT MY BOY'S SUFFERED ENOUGH
WITHOUT YOU ADDING TO IT.
I JUST WANT TO GET HIM THE HELP HE NEEDS.
YEAH. YOUR IDEA OF HELPING STEVIE
IS TAKING HIM AWAY FROM ME.
LOCKING HIM IN A CAGE, OR WORSE.
JAB HIM WITH NEEDLES.
DISSECT HIM LIKE HE'S SOME KIND OF LAB ANIMAL.
I'M HIS FATHER
AND I'M GONNA DO WHATEVER I NEED TO DO
TO KEEP HIM SAFE.
EVEN IF THAT MEANS--
STEVIE, IT'S YOUR DAD. STEVIE, NOOOO!
NO!
THAT IS YOUR SON, YEAH.
ARE YOU OK?
YEAH. I JUST NEED A MINUTE.
OH, THAT'S GOOD.
'CAUSE THAT'S ALL I NEED.
SUCKAS.
ONE MINUTE I HAD HER AND THEN
EVERYTHING WENT DEAD.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO RAISE HER
BUT I CAN'T EVEN--
BATCAVE. COME IN.
BATWOMAN, WE READ YOU. WHAT HAPPENED?
EXACTLY WHAT I SAID WOULD HAPPEN.
ALICE ESCAPED. AND I CAN'T HUNT HER DOWN
AND SAVE A LITTLE GIRL.
BATWING, YOU READY TO GET BACK TO THE FIELD?
YEAH. I'M GOOD TO GO.
SO, YOU AND MARY FIXED WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE SUIT.
UM...YES. BATWING IS ALL CLEAR.
GOOD. ALICE WAS LAST HEADED
NORTH THROUGH THE SEWER TUNNELS.
IF SHE'S ON FOOT, SHE'S GONNA WANNA CHANGE THAT.
THERE'S A TRUCK DEPOT A FEW MILES ON THAT TRAJECTORY.
THAT'S WHERE I'D HEAD.
I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE NEED TO FIND ALICE
BEFORE RENEE KNOWS SHE'S GONE.
HELP! SOMEBODY!
PLEASE, PLEASE.
OH, THANK GOD.
I THOUGHT THAT THING WAS GONNA COME BACK.
AND HE PROBABLY WILL DO SO, HON.
UP AND AT 'EM. WE GOTTA SKEDADDLE.
I CAN'T WALK.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TRY.
BUT MY LEG IS BROKEN.
...HEY, HON.
I'M ON A REALLY TIGHT SCHEDULE HERE, SO,
YOU AND I THREE-LEGGED RACING OUTTA HERE
IS REALLY GONNA SLOW ME DOWN.
NO, NO. YOU HAVE TO HELP ME.
FINE. I'M GONNA HELP YOU.
BY TEACHING YOU THE LESSON THAT
I HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY.
NO ONE IS GONNA SAVE YOU EXCEPT YOURSELF.
YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE YOU CAN COUNT ON.
THE SOONER YOU LEARN THAT,
THE BETTER OFF YOU'LL BE.
NO.
YOU'RE GONNA THANK ME FOR THIS ONE DAY.
NO! NO! HELP ME, PLEASE!
DON'T LEAVE ME-- DON'T LEAVE ME, PLEASE!
I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE, STEVEN,
AND I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME.
THERE IS STILL SOME OF YOU
LEFT IN THERE THAT CAN UNDERSTAND ME.
OK? I DO NOT WANT TO HURT YOU.
I JUST WANT TO HELP YOU.
AND YOUR FATHER, HE JUST WANTS TO HELP YOU, TOO.
HE REALLY LOVES YOU.
AND TRUST ME--YOU ARE REALLY LUCKY
TO HAVE A PARENT LIKE THAT.
SOMEONE THAT WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT YOU.
AND NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU. NO MATTER WHAT.
SO MUCH FOR
TRYING TO REASON WITH YOU.
MONTOYA. WE GOT A PROBLEM.
JUST LOST THE SIGNAL FROM
ALICE'S TRACKING MONITOR.
DEFINE "LOST."
ONE MOMENT IT'S READING LOUD AND CLEAR.
THE NEXT, NOTHING.
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. NO ONE'S EVER MANAGED
TO CIRCUMVENT ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
TELL THAT TO ALICE.
THIS MEANS SHE COULD BE ANYWHERE.
OH, GREAT. THE SIDEKICK.
IT'S BATWING.
OOH. COOL NAME.
NOW LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN LIVE UP TO IT.
UHH!
HOW'S THE SUIT, LUKE? ANY PROBLEMS?
JUST THIS DISTRACTING VOICE IN MY EAR.
DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU COULD BEAT ME?
WHY WOULD I NEED TO BEAT YOU?
WE'RE ON THE SAME TEAM,
WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT.
WAS SOMETHING SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN?
IT ALREADY HAS. RIGHT NOW,
1,000 NANOBOTS ARE
SWIMMING THROUGH YOUR BLOODSTREAM,
SENDING OUT TRACKING BEACONS
TO SATELLITES AS WE SPEAK.
SO, IF YOU WANNA RUN,
YOU BETTER BE REALLY FAST.
UHH!
UHH! UHH!
UHH!
YOU OK?
IT'S OK.
I GOT YOU.
I THOUGHT I LOST YOU.
CONGRATULATIONS.
I SEE YOU'VE STOPPED THE CROC,
SECURED THE TOOTH,
REUNITED A MISSING GIRL WITH HER MOTHER,
BUT...WHAT I DON'T SEE IS YOUR PARTNER.
SHE'S OVER THERE.
WAITING FOR YOU TO CHAUFFEUR HER
BACK TO ARKHAM.
HAD SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH THAT,
BUT I THINK WE'VE FOUND
A BETTER SOLUTION.
RIGHT, ALICE?
LEAPIN' LIZARDS, GOTHAM!
YOU CAN ADD "BAT" TO THE LIST OF APEX PREDATORS,
BECAUSE BATWOMAN JUST TOOK A BITE
OUT OF CROC 2.0.
THE RAMPAGING REPTILE HAS BEEN RELOCATED
TO THE NOT-SO-NATURAL HABITAT OF ARKHAM ASYLUM,
WHERE I'M ASSUMING THE GUARDS'
HAZARD PAY JUST WENT UP.
THANKS TO THE CAPED CRUSADER,
THE CROC WAS DENIED HIS LAST MEAL
AND MISSING GIRL WHITNEY HUTCHINSON
WAS REUNITED WITH HER MOTHER IN A REUNION THAT HAD
EVEN THE LIKES OF YOURS TRULY A LITTLE WEEPY.
REST ASSURED, GOTHAM,
THESE WERE NOT CROCODILE TEARS.
YOU KNOW... IF YOU SQUINT,
YOU CAN JUST MAKE OUT
JETURIAN INDUSTRIES FROM HERE.
I LIKED IT BETTER WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW
SHE WAS THERE.
I'M SORRY.
I SHOULD'VE NEVER TOLD YOU.
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
IT'S NOBODY FAULT. EXCEPT HERS.

SAME PLACE WHERE YOU WERE SHOT.
YEAH, BUT THAT INJURY'S HEALED.
I KNOW. BUT THANKS TO THE DESERT ROSE,
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A SCAR.RIGHT.
A PHYSICAL ONE, ANYWAY.
I THINK WHAT THE SUIT IS INTERPRETING
AS PHYSICAL PAIN IS ACTUALLY
PSYCHOLOGICAL PAIN.
MARY, COME ON.
THAT'S ABSURD.
IS IT?
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH.
JUST BECAUSE YOUR BODY IS HEALED
DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE.
THIS IS A PROBLEM.
BOTANIST IN THE LAB DOESN'T THINK
THIS VINE IS ONE OF POISON IVY'S.
ONLY WAY TO BE 100% SURE IS
TO RUN TESTS ON IT,
BUT THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT...
IS TO OPEN IT.
BUT HE WASN'T WILLING TO DO THAT.
HOW'D YOU KNOW IT WASN'T THE REAL THING?
BECAUSE I'VE SEEN IT UP CLOSE.
AND IF THE REAL THING IS STILL OUT THERE...
GOD HELP US.
WAIT. EXCUSE ME. MISS.
I'M AFRAID YOU CAN'T JUST GO IN THERE.
I'M SORRY, MS. JET.
SHE JUST WALKED RIGHT IN.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I DROPPED IN ON MS. WILDER
UNANNOUNCED YESTERDAY.
SHE'S JUST RETURNING THE FAVOR.
I THOUGHT YOU AND I AGREED
YOU'D STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS.
I AM.
THIS IS PERSONAL.
BECAUSE I'M YOUR DAUGHTER.
GREG, MOVE YOUR HEAD.
