He said no raise, just like that.

Told me that what I do here isn't important enough.

Not important enough.

I'd like to see him talk to you that way.

You never had to swallow any disrespect, did you?

No, not you.

And if you wanted something, you just took it.

But look at you now. All you've got is me.

And you're just about all I got.

That's why I'm staying here.

Even if they don't pay me what I'm worth.

You... You listen to me.

You're the only one who ever has.

Yeah, Herbst.

Boss wants to see you, Aaron.

I wonder if he changed his mind.

Maybe this will bring me luck.

Let me guess, you're rehearsing for a play.

You... You were taping me?

You've been spending an awful lot of time in there, Aaron.

And now we know what you were doing.

But taping me. How could you?

How could you?

I have never seen such sick behavior in my life.

Clean out your locker.

But, Mr. Chandler, I've done good work for you and...

And what, Aaron?

You wanna take this to the review board?

You'll never win and everyone will find out you're a...

I'II clean out my locker.

Not important enough, huh?

Party time.

This is Harris on the sixth floor.

Inque's loose! In...

What does this little toy do?

Careful, it's an exosuit.

It amplifies effort and increases endurance.

And?

When I tested it, it put too much strain on my heart.

You'd let a little thing like a heart problem

stop you from being Batman? I don't believe it.

- Would I lie to you? - No.

But you hold things back. Lots of things.

It's taken me, what, six months

just to get you to show me around the cave?

That's because we've had a lot of distractions, haven't we?

Someday you're gonna tell me the real reason

why you stopped being Batman.

What's that?

It's an alarm system I set up.

I've got it hooked into the prison

and a few other places.

Helps me keep track of certain friends of ours.

So which one is it?

Inque.

Downtown, Gotham Cryogenics.

- On my way. - Terry.

Just in case.

Over there.

Hold your fire. She's letting the hostages go.

What's he doing? Is he crazy?

No, you don't understand.

Huh?

So what you gonna do now?

What are you waiting for? Get her!

But what about Batman?

What about him?

Can we block it off?

Well, there are only two entrances on this street.

Then you got the next street

and the one after that and...

Maybe the Bat knows something that'll help.

Got some bad news.

Let me guess. She got away.

And broke the Freeze gun while she was at it.

- But that wasn't the bad news. - It gets worse?

Uh-huh.

She knows where the entrance to the cave is, remember?

Made her escape through the city storm drain system.

As yet unexplained is all the ice

that was holding her somehow melted.

Lousy maintenance.

Police Commissioner Barbara Gordon has promised

that no effort will be spared by...

Whist's the matter, Aaron?

Surprised to see me?

How did you know where I live?

How could I not know?

All those months of listening to you prattle

on and on about your pathetic life.

You could hear me?

Yes, Aaron, I could hear you and see you too.

But don't worry, I'm not gonna tell anyone.

Not unless you're stupid enough to try and call the cops.

I won't.

Are you sure?

Good.

You play this right

and I might give you a nice reward.

I'd do anything for you. Anything.

I had a feeling you'd say that.

Mind telling me what you're doing?

Sealing up the cracks. Making sure she can't ooze in.

You really think she's coming here, don't you?

She was here before.

She knows the way.

Does she?

It was dark that night,

and the Batmobile goes awfully fast.

And then there's the way you drive.

- You got a better plan? - I do.

It's called getting to know your enemy.

Inque left a little of herself on your suit.

I'll be at the microscope.

What time is it?

It's noon. You like American cheese?

I don't feel like eating.

Uh, maybe you'd like to wash up then?

No, thanks.

Um, you know, you were in that storm drain

for a pretty long time and...

I don't like water, understand?

Okay, okay.

But there's not much else this place is good for.

Just sleeping, eating. Washing up.

And, uh, we've got hours

before it's dark enough for us to go outside.

Well, maybe we'll think of something to keep us

busy until then, hmm?

Still at it, huh?

She can huff and puff all she wants

but she ain't gonna blow this place down.

I know why she hasn't tried yet.

I ran some tests on her residue.

The human part of her DNA has been damaged.

- Probably by being frozen. - So?

Back at the cryogenics place, weren't you wondering

why Inque didn't morph into her human form

and just walk out of there with the other workers?

Uh, yeah.

- Kind of. - Right.

The reason she didn't do it is because she couldn't.

She can't go back to her human form.

And if I were her, I'd be looking

for a good doctor right now.

- You think? - Yeah.

There can't be too many doctors or labs

that do that kind of work around here.

Let's get on the computer and make a list of...

Oh.

One other thing. It's not as good as Mr. Freeze's gun

but it's the best I could do on short notice.

Be careful.

Hurry up, get it open. Can't you do it any faster?

I'm doing the best I...

Yo, what are you two hiding there for?

- Oh... - Um...

Uh, just trying to find a little privacy, officer.

Yeah, yeah, privacy.

Carry on.

Don't you ever touch me like that again.

I was only trying to...

Just get it open.

Do they have everything you need?

I'll make do.

Wait.

You said there'd be a reward for me.

Here? Now?

Inque, what I want more than anything

is to be like you.

You're serious, aren't you?

Dead serious.

The power you've got, I want it.

I've been wanting it a long time.

Then you'll get it.

What was that?

Inque. Inque!

Come on, we gotta get out of here.

You know, I once took an assignment to kill him.

Then do it, get it over with.

No, not until I get the old one too.

It's not working.

Oh, yes, it is. I can feel it.

Quick! I need more!

You're beautiful.

Hmm.

It's some kind of arena. Got a big glass dome.

Looks like nobody has been inside in years.

- What else can you tell me? - Sony.

I wasn't exactly awake when they brought me here, but...

But what? Terry?

Terry, you all right?

Answer me!

It's the old guy, isn't it?

This is gonna be perfect.

Tell him you're at the old Gotham Hills Arena

and he should come right away.

Tell him.

All right then.

Hope you're still listening, old man.

We are at the Gotham Hills Arena.

Get over here right now or Batman dies.

No! Stay Where you are!

She'll kill us both if you...

He'll be here. What is he?

Your father? Grandfather?

Well, I'll find out soon enough.

- Inque. - What?

You know, my reward.

Oh, yes, your reward.

- This is how you want to be? - Exactly.

Then I hope it will be everything you are expecting.

Hello?

She only gave me half the treatment.

You got away?

He didn't get away and neither will you.

Oh, no.

No!

Out of my way.

You promised. You promised.

[Unque]Losen.

No!

No!

Now do you believe me about why I retired?

Not entirely, but tonight I am glad you didn't stay retried.

Poor, deluded fool.

Dinnertime, Aaron.

The cook made your favorites.

Mashed potatoes and peas.

He made some fried chicken too

but with the bones and all, well, you know...

Mmm-mmm, good, huh?

So before I tell you about all the things

that happened to me today, I wanna thank you

for listening these last few months.

You're the only one who does,

and you'll never guess how much it means to me.

Anyway, the store was out of diet ice cream

so I had to drive all the way to the other store

and I almost ran out of juice.

I was late to the doctor, but the good news was

he got rid of the warts.

Well, almost all of them.
