Batwoman

Previously on "Batwoman"...

Marquis is sick.

There was an incident.

The joker pressed this godforsaken thing

to my son's head and turned him into a monster.

I've been told that another buzz could cure him.

I am losing my mind!

The hallucinations are back.

I just need a little edger

until you can get me the joy buzzer.

There's only one buzz left.

Ryan needs it... For her brother.

Your dad programmed your suit's ai

to speak with his voice?

Dad, say hello to Mary.

Hello, Mary.

It's like you can talk to him again.

It seems Batwoman is a no-show.

My god. That's why Batwoman didn't show up.

She was here the whole time.

I'm sorry, Mary.

What did you do?

What if I were to give you something

that would make the joker...

Wish he were you?

Let's have some fun.

ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

Exactly where you said they would be, funny man.

Oh, my god!

What are you doing?

Why isn't this stronger?

Alice, stop this.

Voltage, conductor. They said it would work.

-Why isn't it working? -What are you doing?

Getting Alice out of my head!

Alice, stop...This.

-That could kill you. -Give it back!

Wait, wait.

Just wait.

I told you I would help you!

And I found a place.

It's in Switzerland, it's near Geneva,

and it's called the weisse kaninchen sanatorium.

They specialize in childhood trauma.

They can help you.

No.

No more cells.

No more institutions.

I cannot be in my head anymore!

I want out!

Please get me out.

Please, please.

I can't.

Please!

All right, Batwoman. What's the plan?

How do we best handle our one wild

and precious buzz?

Marquis showed us he doesn't have access

to a sliver of humanity,

and thanks to, Alice, he just got control

of the batcave,

so however we get him, it's got to be today,

and if this thing only has juice for one buzz,

I have to be the one to make the play.

So we lure him close,

and I hit him before he knows what's coming.

Or alternatively, we give it to Alice.

Sorry I'm late.

You know she just gave Marquis the keys

to the batkingdom, right?

I just came back from arkham,

where I found her playing diy

electroshock therapy with a socket wrench.

She's not gonna survive her next psychological break.

We tried to help her.

Alice made her bed.

Ok, Mary.

We know you feel a certain...Whatever

for her, but the buzzer created Marquis.

The joker created Marquis,

and if we're splitting hairs,

he created Alice, too.

Alice killed your mom, Mary.

Do you think I forgot?

You think I don't know how badly

Ryan wants her brother back

or that the first time Alice ever met Sophie

she threw her off a 30-story building?

I know. It is not like this is

some easy decision for me...Or anyone,

but I believe Alice is capable of change.

She just needs a chance.

Come on. Each one of you looked me in the eye

a few weeks ago, apologized

for sidelining me, and assured me

I would have a voice on this team.

This is it.

This is me using my voice.

This is--this is what I want.

I need to save Alice's life.

I just got a live urgent message from Marquis jet.

Yeah, me, too.

I think we all did.

What's up, Gotham city? We having fun yet?

Marquis jet hollerin' at you

from a top-secret location.

The time has come, the day is here.

Tonight is the damn night.

I need everyone to take to the streets,

get out on your balconies, jump up on your car.

Hell, climb up to the tippy top

of your corner church steeple

because in 5 hours on the dot...

I'm gonna be shouting Batwoman's true identity

from the rooftops.

Spoiler alert!

She's not the hero you think she is.

Ticktock, Gotham.

This is really happening.

Marquis jet is about to shut Batwoman down for good.

We are still hours away

from the Batwoman name drop,

but curiosity has already pulled

some Gotham residents to the streets,

reacting to claims made by Wayne ceo Marquis jet

that he knows the Scarlet knight's

secret identity and that we should all brace

for disappointment.

No details beyond that were teased,

but putting a face to the name would certainly be

the end of business as usual for the caped crusader,

whose anonymity is key to her own safety

and those of her loved ones.

While various theories surrounding

who's behind the mask have been bouncing around

social media...

Oh. Guys.

Told you she doesn't knock.

I take it you saw Marquis' threats.

I believe 10 million people saw Marquis' threats.

How on earth did he hijack

every phone, TV, and livestream in this city?

He got into the batcave.

From there, he found the computer,

which led to Wayne's satellite,

which he used to override Gotham's airwaves.

My dad created the tech in the event

that Batman had to send an sos to every person

in the city all at once.

Any chance you can trace the original feed

back to its location?

Without access to the batcave, I was lucky

to be able to get a screencap.

Well, that's not gonna help us.

What are you doing?

Do you remember how your father

always repeated himself when he got mad?

-Vividly. Why? -I can hear him now.

"Jada, Jada, Jada, you let my boy

"take on Marquis with a smartphone and a dialup?

Mm-mm-mm."

I'm sure my tech team can pull

a carrier-grade router off jeturian's server farm.

Uh...thank you?

We don't have a lot of time.

We've got to find Marquis and buzz him

with that joy buzzer.

Where's Ryan?

Ahem. That is such a good question.

Uh...where's Ryan?

Right. Uh, Sophie, didn't Ryan tell you where she was headed?

Uh, yes. I believe she said

she was running an errand.

Right. That's what I remember.

Errand. Duh. She did mention an errand.

Where was it again?

Tell me why you deserve the joy buzzer.

Shouldn't you be out enjoying your last few hours

of superhero anonymity?

Yeah, I should. Instead, I'm here

doing my best friend a solid

while the person who actually needs it

is out there threatening to destroy

everything I've worked for.

Oh, you mean the brother you're scared

is too good to be true?

Face it, ry-ry, you can blame Mary all you want,

but deep down in that little orphan heart,

you need me to have that thing.

Oh, wow. Mary was right. You did stop making sense.

Or...chances are you spent

the last few months daydreaming

about what it would be like to have a nuclear family.

Thanksgiving dinners,

family game nights,

the comfort of a kidney should a new one become necessary.
