1. Hey!
Copy !req
2. Who's in here?
Copy !req
3. Aah!
Copy !req
4. This is the fourth
identical poisoning this month.
Copy !req
5. We've kept
the victims alive so far
Copy !req
6. but we're not even sure
what kind of poison it is.
Copy !req
7. Why don't you ask
the woman who made it?
Copy !req
8. Poison Ivy.
Copy !req
9. She was our first guess,
but we ruled her out.
Copy !req
10. You mean she's still
in Arkham?
Copy !req
11. No, she completed her
rehabilitation six months ago.
Copy !req
12. The board gave her a clean bill.
Copy !req
13. And now wealthy bachelors
are being struck down
Copy !req
14. by an unknown toxin.
Copy !req
15. Sounds like Ivy's MO to me.
Copy !req
16. I don't think she's interested
in single men anymore.
Copy !req
17. - Hmm.
- 'You haven't heard?'
Copy !req
18. Not only did Pamela Isley
clean herself up
Copy !req
19. she also got married.
Copy !req
20. Hi. Come on in.
Copy !req
21. Thank you, Ms. Isley.
Copy !req
22. My pleasure, commissioner,
though it's Carlyle now.
Copy !req
23. Mrs. Pamela Lillian Carlyle.
Copy !req
24. This is my husband Steven.
Copy !req
25. Hello, commissioner.
Nice to see you again.
Copy !req
26. Dr. Carlyle
is our liaison between
Copy !req
27. the board at Arkham
and the police department.
Copy !req
28. You also teach classes
on criminal psychology
Copy !req
29. at Gotham State.
Copy !req
30. I've read some of your works.
Copy !req
31. - They were very impressive.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
32. But I get the feeling
this isn't a social call.
Copy !req
33. 'Someone is poisoning and robbing wealthy young men.'
Copy !req
34. As painful as it sounds
Copy !req
35. 'all clues point
to your wife.'
Copy !req
36. That's outrageous.
Pamela hasn't—
Copy !req
37. Darling, please.
Copy !req
38. Batman, I don't doubt
that I was your first
Copy !req
39. and probably only suspect.
Copy !req
40. 'Over the years,
you and I have had'
Copy !req
41. a rather
intense relationship.
Copy !req
42. But that's all in the past,
believe me.
Copy !req
43. I look back on what I was
and I shudder.
Copy !req
44. Locked away in Arkham
with the obsessed and the insane
Copy !req
45. 'and me just as lost
as any of them.'
Copy !req
46. And then I met Steven.
Copy !req
47. His love and guidance
brought me into the light again.
Copy !req
48. 'Mom, dad, the Batmobile's outside!'
Copy !req
49. It is, it is. We saw it.
Copy !req
50. Whoa!
Copy !req
51. 'Cool. Batman's really here.'
Copy !req
52. Mommy, you didn't tell us
you know Batman.
Copy !req
53. Mwah.
Copy !req
54. That was a long
time ago, sweetie.
Copy !req
55. These are my boys,
Chris and Kelly.
Copy !req
56. - Hi.
- Can we ride in your car?
Copy !req
57. Come on, guys. Let's leave
mom alone for a minute.
Copy !req
58. Bye, Batman.
Copy !req
59. I never thought about having
kids before. I can't.
Copy !req
60. Nature's little trade-off
for my hyper immune system.
Copy !req
61. And yet, when I met
Steven's boys
Copy !req
62. something inside me
just melted.
Copy !req
63. 'I guess there really
does come a time'
Copy !req
64. when a woman wants
something more in her life.
Copy !req
65. At least this woman does.
Copy !req
66. Steven doesn't care
about my past.
Copy !req
67. He and the boys accept me
for who I am now.
Copy !req
68. I don't know who has been
duplicating my old crimes
Copy !req
69. but I can assure you,
gentlemen, Poison Ivy is dead.
Copy !req
70. Don't tell me the great
Dick Grayson is spending
Copy !req
71. the night in for a change?
Copy !req
72. Hey, we got finals coming up.
Copy !req
73. But what about
those cheerleaders
Copy !req
74. I always see
chasing you around?
Copy !req
75. Can't they help you
pass calculus?
Copy !req
76. That's not the reason
I asked you over.
Copy !req
77. - Oh, no?
- No.
Copy !req
78. I just thought it would be fun
to get together
Copy !req
79. and study and talk and, um..
Copy !req
80. And?
Copy !req
81. Hello?
Copy !req
82. 'It's me.'
Copy !req
83. Oh, hi.
Copy !req
84. I wasn't expecting to hear
from you tonight.
Copy !req
85. I'd better go.
Copy !req
86. Uh..
Copy !req
87. Do you have company?
Copy !req
88. Not anymore.
Copy !req
89. Sorry. I need you to check
on a teacher there at GSU.
Copy !req
90. Steven Carlyle.
Copy !req
91. I was in his class
last year. Nice guy.
Copy !req
92. - He's not in trouble, is he?
- Possibly.
Copy !req
93. See what you can find on him.
Copy !req
94. Family history,
places he's worked, anything.
Copy !req
95. Right. I'll check back
with you later.
Copy !req
96. Cindy?
Copy !req
97. Aah!
Copy !req
98. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
99. It's all my fault.
If only I hadn't left him.
Copy !req
100. It's alright.
Copy !req
101. I'd just gone back to my room
when I heard a loud crash.
Copy !req
102. I ran down here
and Dick was gone.
Copy !req
103. And you saw no one
leaving the dorm?
Copy !req
104. No.
Copy !req
105. I don't think Dick
is the only victim, Mr. Wayne.
Copy !req
106. You mean, they kidnapped him
to get at me?
Copy !req
107. It fits the pattern.
Copy !req
108. Wealthy, single men
Copy !req
109. all targets of robberies.
Copy !req
110. Only in your case,
you have something
Copy !req
111. more valuable to hold
for ransom.
Copy !req
112. My ward.
Copy !req
113. Keep driving, or your neck
gets a new air hole.
Copy !req
114. What do you want?
Copy !req
115. I do the talking.
Copy !req
116. Bring five million in cash
to the docks tomorrow midnight.
Copy !req
117. Come alone
or the kid is history.
Copy !req
118. Nod if you understand.
Copy !req
119. Smart boy.
Copy !req
120. 'I expect there's no other option?'
Copy !req
121. The money's not important.
Getting Dick back is.
Copy !req
122. Agreed, Master Bruce.
Copy !req
123. But even so,
didn't the kidnapper
Copy !req
124. leave some clue
for Batman to follow?
Copy !req
125. Just my torn shirt. I'll have
to fall back on my instincts.
Copy !req
126. And right now, they're saying
Ivy's fairy-tale lifestyle
Copy !req
127. isn't everything it seems.
Copy !req
128. Wait for me, guys.
Copy !req
129. Bye, honey. Love you.
Copy !req
130. 'What's she doing now, sir?'
Copy !req
131. 'Buying squash.'
Copy !req
132. I've been keeping
tabs on her all morning.
Copy !req
133. 'And so far she's done nothing
more incriminating'
Copy !req
134. 'than return
an overdue video.'
Copy !req
135. Even paid the late fee.
Copy !req
136. 'Could it be Poison Ivy truly has reformed?'
Copy !req
137. I want to believe it.
Why can't I?
Copy !req
138. The greenhouse checks out too.
Nothing but plants and flowers.
Copy !req
139. 'Sir?'
Copy !req
140. Later.
Copy !req
141. - Can we watch cartoons?
- After your homework.
Copy !req
142. This is a dead end.
I haven't found anything that..
Copy !req
143. There are laws
against spying on people.
Copy !req
144. There are laws against
poisoning them too.
Copy !req
145. Look around, Batman.
Copy !req
146. I've got a nice house,
a little garden
Copy !req
147. and a family
that loves me.
Copy !req
148. Why would I jeopardize that?
Copy !req
149. For the first time
in my life, I'm happy.
Copy !req
150. I'm beginning to think
you're right.
Copy !req
151. Batman?
Copy !req
152. Good luck.
Copy !req
153. You too, Mrs. Carlyle.
Copy !req
154. 'Wayne, kick the case over here.'
Copy !req
155. Let me see the boy.
Copy !req
156. 'Where's the money? Now!'
Copy !req
157. Send out the boy.
Copy !req
158. - You hear me?
- 'I hear you.'
Copy !req
159. Goodbye, Mr. Wayne.
Copy !req
160. Time to hit the drink.
Copy !req
161. I guess I should be grateful
that thing used
Copy !req
162. a fist on me
and not poison.
Copy !req
163. Right. But we're still in the
dark as to who's behind this.
Copy !req
164. You don't think
it's the plant lady?
Copy !req
165. All she wants
is to be left alone
Copy !req
166. with her husband and sons.
Copy !req
167. - Sons?
- Carlyle's two boys.
Copy !req
168. - Chris and Kelly.
- I know Chris and Kelly.
Copy !req
169. I was in Carlyle's class
when his ex brought them
Copy !req
170. to visit last year.
Copy !req
171. 'I thought Carlyle had custody.'
Copy !req
172. No, and here's
another shocker for you.
Copy !req
173. 'Chris and Kelly are girls.'
Copy !req
174. Hmm.
Copy !req
175. No sign of Ivy.
Copy !req
176. - What's that?
- Insurance.
Copy !req
177. Plastic?
Copy !req
178. Just a happy
little homemaker, huh?
Copy !req
179. - Dr. Carlyle?
- Help me.
Copy !req
180. She's insane.
Has to be stopped.
Copy !req
181. You don't know what she's done.
Copy !req
182. 'Mommy.'
Copy !req
183. Mommy.
Copy !req
184. No!
Copy !req
185. It.. It isn't possible.
Copy !req
186. - Mommy.
- Mommy.
Copy !req
187. I was her doctor in Arkham.
Copy !req
188. She said she wanted to reform.
Copy !req
189. 'I trusted her,
let her get too close.'
Copy !req
190. One little kiss,
and dear Steven was my slave.
Copy !req
191. He was useful in signing
my release papers
Copy !req
192. and for supplying certain
raw materials for my experiments
Copy !req
193. but the marriage was,
well, a fake.
Copy !req
194. And these mutations?
Copy !req
195. Our children, Batman.
Copy !req
196. Plant-based life forms
enhanced with Steven's DNA.
Copy !req
197. They're not truly human.
Copy !req
198. In fact, their life spans
are somewhat
Copy !req
199. like certain rare flowers that
blossom and die in a few days.
Copy !req
200. I see.
Copy !req
201. At first, it looks
like a child.
Copy !req
202. Then it resembles
Dr. Carlyle.
Copy !req
203. And in its final phase..
Copy !req
204. In its final phase
Copy !req
205. before it burns itself out
Copy !req
206. 'the creature becomes my willing
enforcer and bodyguard.'
Copy !req
207. 'Thief and kidnapper is more like it.'
Copy !req
208. It costs money
to raise a family.
Copy !req
209. - You haven't changed a bit.
- Yes, I have.
Copy !req
210. I meant it when I said I wanted
a family that loves me.
Copy !req
211. I just wanted it on my terms.
Copy !req
212. Lady, you're nuts.
Copy !req
213. Well, that's your opinion.
Copy !req
214. Probably the last one
you'll ever have too.
Copy !req
215. Kids?
Copy !req
216. 'That water
I fed them contained'
Copy !req
217. 'a super active
growth formula.'
Copy !req
218. 'True, it cuts their lifespan
down to just a few minutes'
Copy !req
219. 'but that's more time
than you've got.'
Copy !req
220. This way, doc.
Copy !req
221. Great. She gave her little
family the formula too.
Copy !req
222. Stay with Carlyle.
Copy !req
223. Anyone else
want their weeds whacked?
Copy !req
224. Come on.
Copy !req
225. My darlings!
Copy !req
226. Weed killer.
Copy !req
227. I figured whatever
you were up to involved plants
Copy !req
228. so I pumped your water tanks
with herbicide.
Copy !req
229. What was the tip-off, Batman?
Steven's kids?
Copy !req
230. You couldn't replicate them
as girls
Copy !req
231. not with Carlyle's DNA.
Copy !req
232. So you took
your chance with boys.
Copy !req
233. But Ivy could
replicate herself.
Copy !req
234. What?
Copy !req
235. Guess you weren't the only one with an escape plan.
Copy !req
236. Huh, Batman?
Copy !req
237. 'Most of the stolen property was still in the lab'
Copy !req
238. along with Ivy's toxin formulas.
Copy !req
239. Well, at least we have Ivy's
toxins to form an antidote.
Copy !req
240. I'm just sorry she got away.
Copy !req
241. Me too, Robin.
Copy !req
242. But I don't think we'll see her
again anytime soon.
Copy !req
243. Ivy lost everything she had.
Copy !req
244. Everything she said
she ever wanted.
Copy !req
245. For what it's worth,
I believed her
Copy !req
246. when she told me for
the first time in her life
Copy !req
247. she was happy.
Copy !req
