03x09 - Betrayal

[bunniefuu]

What?
Aah! Aah! I've seen month-old fish that smelled better than this.

Could be for real.

Somebody might be hurt.

All right.

Go check.

Here.

In case it's a fish.

Right.

Lockup after me.

GUARD: You don't have to remind me.

[GASPS]

[GASPS]

Mayday! Mayday! This is Car We need Aah! We need help! Please! GUARD: It's a giant! He's gotta be 10 feet tall! We're on route Apple Baker Four, near the dam! Hurry! Hear that?
Did you really believe Big Time would lay low after going to all that trouble to break out?
I had my hopes.

You're not thinking of going there, are you?
Of course I am.

BRUCE: Terry, leave this to the police.

Why should I do that?
Because Charlie "Big Time" is your friend.

Was my friend.

[POLICE SIRENS BLARING]

Huh?
[g*ns COCK]

Hold it right there! [GRUNTS]

Aah! Aah! Aah! [GROANS]

Aah! Ugh.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

Ugh! I had everything covered.

Went over it a hundred times.

But how do you plan for Batman?
At least I got a sack of creds.

Where?
Right here, in my pocket.

I knew we'd make a good team.

My brains, your size.

Just 'cause I look like this now doesn't mean I lost any IQ points.

Know what I'm sayin'?
Sure, Big Time.

Sure.

Got away, huh?
Yeah.

He was workin' with a partner, but I didn't see-- Wait a minute.

You're thinkin' I didn't do everything I could to stop him because he used to be my friend?
I never said that.

You didn't have to.

MAJOR: That's right, Leo.

The Major's back in business.

And I'm givin' you and a couple of others a chance to get in on it.

I got that covered now.

Big Time, that's who.

Leo, I'll call you back.

What's the matter, big guy?
You said we were gonna be partners.

We are.

Come on, Maj.

You been makin' all the decisions around here.

And these guys you're bringin' in?
They're your friends, not mine.

Bigs, you know any married people?
The husband and the wife, they don't both wash the dishes.

One cooks and the other washes.

Each does what they do best.

But I keep tellin' ya, I'm-- I know, I know.

You got a brain.

And I'm sure it's a good one.

But it needs more seasoning.

Understand?
Give it time.

You haven't told me what you think, Max.

You mean do I agree with the old man?
That's something I try not to make a habit of.

Me too.

The problem is he's usually right.

When I saw Charlie last night, all 10'6" of him, all I could think was that if it hadn't been for me, that Sarastone wouldn't have spilled on him, and he never would have turned into a monster.

So it's guilt, huh?
Well, let me tell you something.

Charlie was always a monster.

Only now his outside matches his insides.

Hey! What are you doin'?
Let go of him! We were on our way home from school.

The car came out of nowhere and-- Max.

It didn't have a license plate.

Max.

I tried to stop him, I did.

Max! What about the suit, did he have it with him?
He dropped it.

I got it here.

I'll be right over.

[COMPUTER RINGS]

Don't even think of putting it on.

Good to see ya, Tiny.

I've missed ya.

That's why you had me kidnapped?
What was I supposed to do?
Stroll over to your house and knock on the door lookin' like this?
Have you seen any doctors?
Doctors.

What do they know?
At least here I got compensation.

Look.

It's all the stuff we wanted back when we were kids, remember?
And now it's yours.

Partner.

Come on.

We've been through this before.

Look, I need ya.

These other guys here?
I don't know any of 'em.

I got nobody I can trust.

Same old Charlie.

What do you mean?
You're not doin' me a favor bringin' me in.

You're doin' one for yourself.

You need a guy to watch your back, so you thought of Tiny.

Terry, please.

You don't know what it's like here.

Everyone thinks I'm a freak.

I need somebody who knows the real me.

That's the trouble, Charlie.

I do know the real you.

Ah! Ah! Charlie! What's the matter?
Nothin'.

Who's that?
Uh, a friend.

You brought a friend here?
Now he knows where the hideout is! I had him blindfolded.

I just wanted him to work with us, that's all.

Since when is that your decision?
You said I said give it time.

Or don't you remember?
How could I forget?
That's all you ever say! Will ya calm down?
You're actin' like a BIG TIME: A what?
Go on, say it! Maj?
What?
Get him! Get him! Looks like your "friend" doesn't want anything to do with you anymore.

Major, I'm sorry.

Then fix it.

Or you're finished.

Whoa! Ugh! Oh! [BIG TIME YELLS]

I can't do it.

I don't care if he kills me.

Charlie, you gotta go to the cops.

I can't do that, either.

They'd never be able to protect me once the Major finds out I let you go.

He doesn't have to find out.

I know the Police Commissioner.

She's a friend of Bruce Wayne's.

She'll make it look like the cops caught you after you left the hideout.

But then I end up in jail.

What were you expecting, a medal?
I don't want to go back in, Terry.

It won't be forever.

They'll go light on you.

And while you're in, the doctors will be working on a cure.

A cure?
My dream.

Gettin' into the big time.

Kind of a nightmare now, huh?
Mr.

Wayne has hundreds of scientists on his payroll.

The best in the world.

And he'd do this for me?
No.

He's gonna do it for me.

Now come on, we're runnin' out of time.

Wait.

If somethin' goes wrong, I'd be safer on the outside.

Nothin's gonna go wrong.

But if it does?
What if I stay here till you come back and tell me they got the Major?
Terry, I'll be here.

I swear.

MAJOR: Double time, everybody! The cops are gonna be here to find out what the sh**ting was about.

We gonna leave without Big Time?
Don't worry about it.

How hard could it be to find him again?
They wouldn't have sent all these cars just to check out some laser fire.

You're right.

Somebody must have told them about us.

Big Time?
He'd never do that to me! Never! Maj?
What are we gonna do about this?
I'll tell ya one thing.

Surrender is not an option.

[GASPS]

Charlie?
Why am I surprised?
Why?
I'll put out a bulletin on him.

What happened?
You panic?
I was never gonna go to the cops.

I only went along with it so you'd get rid of the Major for me.

What?
I wanted to bring you and some others in and gradually push him out.

But when you ran off, I thought of a faster way of doin' it.

See, the Major's got lots more men all over town.

And now they're my men.

And none of 'em know I helped take him down.

They're all gonna think you ran straight to the cops, and I was able to get away.

But the Commissioner knows.

You think anybody in my circle would believe a cop?
You figured it all out, didn't ya, smart guy?
But you forgot one thing.

The cure.

For what?
I like the way I look.

The minute I walk into a room, I get respect.

So even that was a lie.

Yeah.

And there's one more thing I lied about.

When I said I couldn't k*ll ya, I just didn't want to do it then.

But now, I made you an offer, and you turned it down.

Where's the respect?
Stay out of this! Terry, leave him for the police.

You're starting to repeat yourself, you know that?
Let's see how well you fly without those wings! [TRUCK HONKS HORN]

[ROARS]

[ROARS]

Help me.

Aah! I'm sorry.

I know how hard it is to go against a friend.

I outgrew him, that's all.
