ALICE: So the monster who ripped this family apart
all those years ago
has brought us all back together.
Ahh. Irony, you are one sick bitch!
And you, my darling sister, are my hero
for finally putting Cartwright to rest.
[GAGS]
Knock it off, or your hands go
back in the cuffs.
Take a load off, Daddy.
Farewell, Mr. Caterpillar.
Give my regards to the Queen of Hearts.
How you holding up?
I'm not sure I am.
Kate, do not waste your guilt on that man.
He does not deserve it.
So we just pretend it never happened?
Tried it. Doesn't work.
Let's be honest. Your brief sojourn
into my hellscape is but a flicker
of my every waking day for so many years.
Now my Mouse is out in the world alone,
battling his greatest fears.
I need to find him.
We find him together.
I think we have very different ideas
about what happens to Mouse after we find him, so...
Alice, stop. I cannot let you...
But you can.
It is amazing how distracted you get
when you find out that both your daughters are killers.
Oh. A friendly reminder. Your DNA and, uh... tch... your DNA
is all over that body in the ground,
so it's probably best that you let me slink
back into the shadows,
where nobody has to hear about this.
Family reunion's over.

KATE, VOICE-OVER: My dad wants me to put Cartwright behind me,
but it's not that easy.
I went to a dark place, Bruce,
to avenge Beth, Alice, my mom,
but in saving my sister, I became more like her,
and in taking out a killer,
I became one myself.
What does that make me now?
- Any luck last night? - With?
Finding Cartwright.
Because I've got nothing on him or any of his aliases,
and the thought of Beth's killer still being out there...
just tell me you found something.
- Nothing on this end either. - Great.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]
- Bad news? - Uh, it's my mom.
Um... Reggie Harris's post-conviction relief hearing
was moved up.
Reggie Harris.
The guy that killed your dad?
When did it get moved up to?
Today.
- I'll come with you. - No. No need for that.
Harris was found at Sip & Dash
with the murder weapon and my dad's blood all over him,
so what's there to review?
- Luke. - Kate, seriously, I'm fine.
If you want to be helpful, find Cartwright, okay?
ALICE: Mouse, have you returned home?
Hello?
Evil henchmen? Is anybody there?
"What a curious plan".
[EXHALES]
Who did this?
_
JACOB: I got 4 cameras' worth of footage missing
from the Sip & Dash on the night Lucius Fox was murdered
and a $50,000 cleanup fee sent from The Crows
to Alia Nazari, the Sip & Dash owner.
You think The Crows paid Nazari to lose the tapes.
Who?
That's what I need you to figure out.
I don't trust anyone else to look into it.
Must be scraping the bottom of the barrel, sir.
You suspended me for lying.
I still haven't changed my opinion on Batwoman.
I think we can both agree that this is bigger
than two different opinions.
There should have been footage of Fox's murder.
There wasn't.
Let me see if I can meet with Nazari
and get her side of the story.
This has to stay between us.
Consider me back on payroll.
_
[VIBRATING] _
[BEEP]
Hey.
I got your text last night...
Late, like up when you shouldn't be late.
I'm just checking in to make sure you're good.
[SIGHS]
CARTWRIGHT: Your mother was a beautiful woman.
It would have been a pity for her to go to waste.
Ohh!
KATE: You stole everything from me!
[GAGGING]
JACOB: Kate!
ALICE: You missed a spot.
What are you doing here?
Oh. I've come to ask for your assistance
in locating someone.
Let me guess. You need help finding
the guy who put Dad in jail and killed Catherine.
Both done at my request.
Didn't he also try to kill you?
And yet I still forgive him,
choosing to see the best in him.
Ever try that?
All the time. Never works out.
When I was dosed with Fear Toxin,
I relived all my worst fears.
If Daddy hadn't saved me, there's no telling
what I would have done to myself
or anyone else to make the horror end.
The Crows will find him.
The Crows won't hesitate to put a bullet in his head.
Don't want another death on your hands.
I want you to leave, Alice.
That is precisely the plan.
Once I find Mouse, I will flee
this wretched city for good.
Why should I believe you?
My Cats and Rabbits are dead.
What are you talking about?
Let's just say subtlety is...
not a defining characteristic of someone
I wronged in the past.
- Who? - Careful, Kate.
You're starting to sound interested.
Just help me, and you will never
have to deal with me again.
Fine...
But on one condition.
We do it my way.
Ohh. Considering your way involved
strangling a man until he choked to death
on his own blood, I would love
absolutely nothing more!
Kate, everything okay?
Thought I'd offer a hand in the search for Mouse.
Oh, we got our bases covered.
Take a load off, kiddo. Get some sleep.
I'd sleep better if I knew there were one less lunatic
on the streets of Gotham.
Yeah, you and me both.
Mouse attacked a nurse outside of Arkham last night.
- Nearly killed her. - Arkham?
Why would he go back there?
Well, we'll figure it out.
Get some rest. I'll call you when we get him.
Thanks.
Why is Mouse attacking nurses outside Arkham?
He lived there for years.
A real fan favorite.
The warden Dr... Butler,
an all-around vile, waste of a soothing voice,
used him as a guinea pig.
He'd subject Mouse to Fear Toxin, gauge its effects,
have the nurses pull him out of it,
and then start all over the next day.
Do you think that Mouse is still feeling the toxin?
Cartwright dosed him for days.
I'm still... shaking off the effects
after only one afternoon.
I can only imagine the hell he's in.
Maybe he's looking for someone to pull him back out of it,
someone like one of his former nurses.
What are you doing?
Hmm. Just checking to see if we're the same size.
Why?
[RINGS]
I do the talking.
Go ahead.
Hello?
Hi. I'm Agent Kane,
and we're with the undercover unit of Crows Security.
Oh. Not in trouble, am I?
No, but you could be in danger.
We're looking for one of your former patients,
uh, Jonathan Cartwright.
Goes by Mouse.
Mouse? Yes. He's a sweet boy
but beyond help sadly.
Oh. That's so sad.
We got word that he might be coming here.
Here? He's locked away at Arkham.
He escaped last year, and we think
that he's been targeting his former nurses.
Do you mind if we wait inside
so we can grab him if he comes?
Please. Come in.

BAILIFF: All rise!
The court is now in session,
the honorable judge Wellington presiding.
You may be seated.
This is the case of the people versus Reggie Harris.
What are you doing here?
Heard about what was happening today,
and I appreciate the whole I need to be alone thing,
but as someone whose parent was just murdered
and the killer was never brought to justice,
alone is not where you need to be right now.
Thanks.
Where's your mom?
She barely made it through the funeral.
Imagine her being in the same room as my dad's killer.

Mrs. Nazari?
Mrs. Nazari, it's Sophie Moore.
[GUNSHOT, GLASS BREAKS]
Unh!
Couldn't have rigged that to be any closer, could we, luv?
What the hell just happened?
I work for the Special Reconnaissance Regiment.
We intercepted a communiqué that someone was offering
a handsome bounty for your head.
When I saw your name, I came calling.
We need to get out of here.
Sorry. How do you know my name?
You're Kate Kane's ex, right?
Well, so am I. Julia Pennyworth. How do you do?
And I'm happy to tell you everything I know,
but... agh... can we deal with this first?
[ALICE HUMMING]
You sure you don't want any?
Positive.
Hmm. More for me.
Are you trying to draw attention?
Who me? Ohh!
Hmm.
- Want to try? - Nope.
It's really fun. Hmm?
Because you can't,
and you don't want to admit that
I'm better at something than you.
Exactly, Alice.
MOUSE: Nurse Tammy!
- He's here. - Oh, my poor Mouse.
Get the adrenaline.
MOUSE: Nurse Tammy!
Help me.
[SIRENS]
What are they doing here?
- Did you call them? - No?
- Do not lie to me. - When would I have called them?
I have literally not left your sight.
- Get out of my way. - Alice, stop it.
You go out there, they will shoot you, too.
- Don't you move! - Hands in the air!
Take him to Arkham.
ALICE: How did they know he was here?
TAMMY: I called The Crows.
All that time spent working in the asylum,
you think I can't spot someone who's telling me a story.
MAN: Crows. Open up!
ALICE: There he was in our grasp, yanked away by might,
but what's lost is not gone.
Whatever this is, I want nothing to do with it.
When I was under the influence of Fear Toxin,
of all the horrible things I experienced,
the worst was being left behind...
by you.
I cannot sleep at night knowing I left Mouse behind,
locked in a cell.
You want to break him out.
Yes, and you are going to help me.
We just took out an old lady.
I'm pretty sure that sister bonding time is over.
Aw. It'll be a breeze.
When Mouse escaped last year,
he showed me all the ways in and out of this place.
Sounds like you already have a plan,
so why do you need me?
As a recent escapee, Mouse will be deemed high risk.
Protocol will demand that he be confined
to the most secure area, the basement,
far away form the other inmates,
where your screams echo against the walls until one day
they become a friend screaming back.
MOUSE: Please no, no, no, no. Come on.
Welcome back, Johnny.
We missed you.
I look forward to, uh, resuming your therapy.
Please... not that again.
Oh, no, no. Shh.
ALICE: There will be no escape for Mouse.
Access to his cell requires two keys.
The first is in the possession of Dr. Butler.
The other stays with the head of security.
Which is why you need me...
two keys, two different places.
Two people. You and me, sis!
Helping you find Mouse so that you could leave Gotham
is one thing.
You're talking about breaking into
a high-security psychiatric facility,
distracting the guards, skirting the medical staff...
- Mm-hmm. - Oh, and, uh, freeing
a wanted killer from captivity.
Is that so insane?
I'm pretty sure it's the definition.
"How fond she is at finding morals in things".
Have to draw the line somewhere.
Yeah, but who arbitrarily decides
when and where those lines are drawn? You?
Mouse is in custody. If I were to help you break him out of there,
then how am I any better?
Don't you get it by now?
You're not!
I'm not a criminal.
Ah, ha ha ha!
And they say I'm the delusional one.
Here we are, two killers ourselves
out and about by the mercy of sweet, old daddy.
We aren't that different.
I never... planned on hurting Cartwright.
But I did. Heh heh heh.
See, I could have easily killed him myself
and let you go on being the city's
symbol of hope...
But it was time for you to see that you and I
are one and the same.
You wanted this.
You left Cartwright for me to find.
You wanted me to hear your story.
You wanted to push me over the edge.
You set me up to kill him
so that I would be like you.
Kate, you can't give me all the credit.
After all, it wasn't that hard. Ha ha!
Aah!
Unh!
[BOTH GRUNTING]
You gonna kill me now, too?
Aah!
[COUGHING]
The court has reviewed the defendant's case.
It's gonna be okay.
Judge Calverick has already signed a statement
indicating he cut corners in order to close
the high-profile murder of Lucius Fox.
That along with the defendant's claims of a coerced confession
at the hands of a corrupt cop
leads the court to believe that the defendant
has a basis for a retrial.
No way.
[CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING]
The state has the right to retry the case
at the D.A.'s discretion.
Until then, the defendant is free of his own volition.
This court is adjourned.
[GAVEL BANGS]
We're gonna fight this.
This is not over, okay?
I know.
"Battle not with monsters,
lest you become a monster".
I'm afraid that passage wasn't in the one book I was allowed to read.
Someone once said it to me.
How did that work out?
He became a monster.
I know I've made light of things...
but I owe you a thank you.
Thank you for killing the man
who destroyed my life,
destroyed our family.
Do not feel guilty for what you did.
I... I don't.
The only thing I feel guilty about...
is I don't feel guilty.
So now you're scared you're becoming me.
Isn't that what you wanted?
Would that really be so awful?
I'll do it. I'll do it.
I'll reunite you with Mouse...
But I... I need to be able to trust you.
Okay.
Say it.
You can trust me, Kate.
No one dies in the process.
Kate, have I ever lied to you?
Literally dozens of times.
Yeah, okay.
I promise...
No... one...
will die.
You can trust me.
What's this?
Well, we're breaking a killer out of Arkham,
so you can't exactly go in disguised as a flying rodent.
I.D., please.
Code Black.
Repeat. Code Black!
Hands where I can see them.
- What's going on? - Possible incendiary device
at the main gate.
Slowly exit the vehicle now.
[ALARM BLARING]
That should be the guards responding to our little decoy.
Alice, if they shoot that driver...
Oh, relax. He drives a linen truck.
Guards finding a fake bomb on the axel
will be the most exciting thing that's ever happened to him.
Well, that should take us up to the maximum security wing.
Oh.
Don't forget this.
Once we pop the cork on this bunny,
things are going to get...
♪ Ca-razy. ♪
Agh!
[ALL GRUNTING]
We're clear.
I'll get the keys from Dr. Butler.
And I'll get the keys from the head guard.
Wait.
Remember your promise.
No killing.
You can trust me.
The doctor's not in,
so... you get me.
- Ahh! - Careful.
I can take a hit, luv, but it's the cleanup
after that I've never been good with.
This is probably a good time for me to say thank you.
Ah. Comes with the paycheck.

SOPHIE: Julia took a bullet that was meant for me,
which leaves the question who wants me dead?
Who was the other vic?

Someone's cleaning up their tracks.
REGGIE: I have not seen outside of a building
in the longest time, Grandma.
- No, you didn't. - Yes, I did.
- No, you didn't. - Yeah.
Aw. You know I'm gonna eat them all, too.
You know I am.
REGGIE: I'll wash the dishes.
I... I will do whatever.
Go on inside. I'll be right in.
You murdered my father.
I didn't.
I am sorry somebody did.
Your pops seemed like a good guy.
Don't... don't do that.
Don't act like you knew the first thing about my dad.
I know he was proud of you...
getting into MIT.
How the hell did you know that?
You kidding? Your pops wouldn't shut up about it.
Told everybody in the store that night.
"My son Lukas is gonna change the world.
You heard it here first".
Then why'd you kill him, man?
The truth is, I went into a Sip & Dash for a bag of chips,
woke up with a gun in my hand
and your dad's...
your dad's blood all over me.
Look at me. Tats, dreads, record.
Of course, I'm gonna convince a jury I killed Lucius Fox.
I was the winning lottery ticket
for a bunch of punks who needed to keep their own ass out of jail.
[GUNSHOT]
Hey, Reggie.
Help! Help!
Oh! Uh...
Dr. Butler I presume.
You're supposed to be dead.
[SCOFFS]
You know, it's funny how this place
can make people feel like they're
losing their minds. Heh.
Even you, doctor.
Uh, w-w-what do you want?
I have long dreamed of meeting you,
repaying you for all the pain
you inflicted on a...
dear friend.
One...
quick... swipe,
another name off my list.
Ohh!

But a promise is a promise.
Now where are your keys?

Reggie Harris's freedom was short-lived today
when he was gunned down outside of his home
just a handful of hours after he was released from prison.
Harris, who had previously been convicted of manslaughter,
had long proclaimed his innocence.
His case was currently awaiting...
No frills but no questions either.
We'll be safe here.
Guy claims he was set up for murder,
then gets killed the day of his release.
Well, that's not a coincidence.

He was my godfather.
