Hold the Line - Transcripts

Part One:

Jim Gordon: Get those windows boarded up! We don't know how long we have until those things come back! Montoya! Any word?

Renee Montoya: No, Sir. The other precincts aren't responding. What do you want to do?

Jim Gordon: We need to --

Man-Bat #1: *Smashes through the window* SKREEE!!!

Jim Gordon: Everyone down! *Batwoman appears beating back the Man-Bat* ... Batwoman! What's the situation out there?

Batwoman: The city's infested with Man-Bats. More and more people are being turned. Batman and the others are assembling what they need to create an antidote.

Renee Montoya: What do you need from us?

Batwoman: We hold this building. When the antidote is complete, Batman will need your help to distribute it. Are you secure here?

Jim Gordon: Barricading the windows will buy us some time. We already lost the upper floors.

Batwoman: I'll clear the upper floors. I'll radio when it's safe for your people to come up and secure the windows.

Renee Montoya: I'm coming with you.

Batwoman: Then let's go.

-------------------------------------------

Renee Montoya: *fighting with a Man-Bat* Not that I'm not happy to see you, but I'm surprised Batman didn't come himself.

Batwoman: I volunteered.

Renee Montoya: *A Man-Bat pins her to the floor* OOF!

Man-Bat #2: *Batwoman tackles them out the window* Skreeee!

Renee Montoya: KATE!

Batwoman:  Still here.

Renee Montoya: You okay?

Batwoman: Fine. I'm radioing Gordon this floor is secure. Let's move on.

-----------------------------------------

Batwoman: *winces as she climbs the stairs* Umph.

Renee Montoya: I knew you were hurt. We should turn back. Get you some medical attention.

Batwoman: No.

Renee Montoya: Why are you always so stubborn?

Batwoman: You of all people should understand. When the Bat-Signal goes up, it's a call to arms. A call to serve. What happens to me doesn't matter. I have my orders. I will fight. I will hold!

------------------------------------

Part Two:

Batwoman: (I.M) I know the pain of losing someone.

=======================

Kate Kane: *whimpering alone, blindfolded and tied to a chair* Mom! Beth! Please!

Batwoman: (I.M) The guilt of surviving when the ones you love don't. I could've let the pain consume me. Instead, I chose to do something about it. To channel it into a purpose. A cause. But the world told me it didn't want me. Because of who I am. Because of who I love. So I let the pain swallow me whole. And then I saw him. I saw the pain in his eyes. Saw the way he turned that pain into a weapon. And I realised there were other ways to serve. I trained hard. I gained some things. And lost others. But I never lost my drive to protect. To serve. To hold the line when others can't.

-------------------------------------------------

Jim Gordon: She bought us time, but we're being overrun. How long does it take to make an antidote?

Renee Montoya: Hopefully, not much longer.

Jim Gordon: If she goes down, we all do.

Renee Montoya: She won't.

Batwoman: *panting, her injuries slowing her down* Get ... The ... Hell ...Out! ... Oof.

Renee Montoya: Batwoman!

Batwoman: That won't hold them off long. We need to regroup.

Spoiler: We can help with that.

Batwoman: You're late.

Batman: Sorry. Still got some fight in you?

Batwoman: What do you think? Let's take back our city
