Original subtitles

Legend tells of a caped crusader,

Batman, guardian of New Gotham,

and his one true love,

Catwoman,

the queen of the criminal underworld.

Their passion left behind something extraordinary,

a daughter,

Huntress.

Half meta-human,

she has taken up her father's mantle,

and fights to protect the innocent and helpless.

Joining her in this struggle,

Oracle,

who was once Batman's protegee,

Batgirl.

She was caught in the crossfire of the war between Batman and joker.

Now she fights crime a different way,

master of the cyber realms, and trainer to heroes.

Together, they have taken in Dinah,

a meta-human herself.

With powers she is only beginning to explore.

These three are the protectors of new Gotham.

The Birds of Prey.

My name is Alfred Pennyworth, and this is their story.

What do you want?

I've been watching you.

Oh, my god.

Don't come any closer.

On the contrary, those electric hands of yours are what attracted me to you.

You see, I have been watching you.

Run.

Sorry, not really my style.

You picked the wrong night to hit the town, creep.

Hey! What are you doing?

You said I could have this one.

Like there's not enough scumbags in New Gotham.

Of course, they're not usually this ugly.

Dinah!

I got it. Go after him.

I said I got it. Now he's getting away.

Relax. A head start makes the chase more fun.

Typical.

Ugly and slippery. Irritating combination.

BIRDS OF PREY 1x10 "GLADIATRIX" Subtitles subXpacio

I found it on the street. I thought maybe he dropped it.

Yeah, before he escaped.

There's some encoding on it. It looks like it's a key card.

To what?

I don't know, but figuring out what this symbol means is a good place to start.

Better figure it out fast.

That girl would have been the fifth to go missing this month.

Who knows who he's going to go after next.

- A meta-human woman, I'm guessing. - Why meta?

Well, I did some more digging, cross checked with the meta-human database.

Turns out that's what they all have in common.

I should go down to no man's land, tell Gibson to put the word out.

It's Reese. He's down by the river.

One of the abducted women has shown out dead.

Well, I'll go talk to Gibson.

That much I can do on my own.

I thought having a sidekick was supposed to make things easier.

I'd be happy to give you a lift.

Are you going up...

town?

Well, no...

but neither are you.

Who said chivalry's dead?

- Did you talk to Gibson? - No, I played pool.

What did he say?

He said a Junior Crime Fighter like me should run and hide.

Dinah.

He put the word out, okay?

Look, I know you've gotten better

I'm good, but you wouldn't know that, would you?

Fine. You're good.

In fact, I could probably take you on.

Whatever you say.

No, you versus me, powers even, I'd have a good shot.

See, that's your problem.

You don't know your limitations. It's dangerous.

Then test my limitations. Let's go.

I don't have time for this.

You scared?

Are you kidding?

Huntress, we've got another abduction.

Yeah, I'm on my way.

Why don't you go rent "Rocky"? Let it go.

A waitress named Claire Fordhart was just reported missing.

Meta?

Yeah, called Gibson. He knows her.

I'm going to kill that creep.

What, you're making popcorn now?

No, I'm analyzing the hairs Reese gave you of the dead woman.

The mud on them contains...

- ...astrophyllite. - Astro what?

It's a mineral found in granite.

Which makes it nerd-worthy because...

Because there's barely any granite left in New Gotham.

The entire city was built on tectonically engineered slabs...

after that earthquake that toppled...

Old Gotham.

Do you realize every time you talk like that you remind me of Charlie Brown's teacher?

Remember?

The mud sample is identical to the samples taken from Old Gotham.

You're saying the woman that was killed, was killed in Old Gotham?

- Yeah. - That's impossible.

The entire city was destroyed.

No, not all of it.

Parts of Old Gotham are still intact underground,

below the sewers.

Which would explain how the one-eyed scar guy got away so fast.

He went underground. I'm going to go back to where I lost him.

Wait, I'll get Dinah.

No, I want to do this one solo.

Barbara, someone's targeting meta- human women, like her.

And you, which is why it's important we work as a team.

Come on, you can't shelter her forever.

Just this once, all right?

All right, take this.

You might need it.

Thanks.

Alfred, are you going fly fishing?

I heard the word "sewers," and I know how much you hate to get your shoes wet.

Not as much as I hate being a fashion don't. Thanks anyway.

Crime fighting today, it's all style over substance.

I think I found here he went in. I'm going down.

All right, that manhole should lead to an overflow chamber.

Great, I should have taken Alfred up on those boots.

Head north. I'll guide you into Old Gotham.

Hey, Alfred. What's going on down there?

Did we get a lead?

I believe so, Miss Dinah. In fact, Miss Helena is currently on her way...

to the ruins of Old Gotham by way of the sewers without galoshes, I might add.

- I can't believe it. - It was an impractical choice.

She went on without me?

So you wish to wade in the sewage as well.

It's amazing what appeals to the youth of today.

Well, it doesn't look like we're in Kansas anymore, Toto.

I prefer to think of myself as The Wizard.

Yeah, of course you do.

And as for not being in Kansas. Your GPS signal is weakening.

I can't tell where you are.

Far as I can tell, I'm in some kind of a prison.

A what?

You're breaking up.

I think I found something.

They've turned this place into some kind of arena,

and from the looks of the accommodations, it ain't Lilith Fair.

Huntress?

Huntress, do you copy? I am not receiving you.

Huntress!

Oracle?

Oracle?

Oracle?

Well, looks like I'm on my own.

What a pleasant surprise.

I do love a woman that makes the first move.

Huntress.

- Huntress, do you copy? - What's going on?

Another girl's been abducted, and I've just lost contact with Helena.

- Maybe she went off-line. - No, no,

we were talking, and her signal just cut out.

Something about the Old Gotham substructure that's interfering with the comm link.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

So you want to see a fight?

Well, you came to the right place.

Gentlemen,

welcome to...

Gladiatrix!

You can't escape.

The bars are made from titanium something.

They're impossible to break,

even for the strongest of us.

What's going on here?

I shouldn't be talking to you.

The guards say not to talk to the enemy. It just makes the end harder.

Enemy? What are you talking about?

Don't come any closer to me, bitch!

Relax.

I'm not going to do anything.

Tell me the rule, Claire.

No powers in the cell.

No powers in the cell.

Save it for the ring.

That's a good girl.

Can't have the merchandise damaging each other before the show.

Shall we?

You try that again...

and I'll kill you slowly.

Lively.

One of the reasons I lured you down here.

You don't think I just dropped the disc key, do you?

No, I wanted you to find it because I wanted you here,

because I can hardly wait to watch you fight.

I want to fight you right now.

No, not me.

You'll be fighting the other girls.

Why would I do anything like that?

The same reason all my girls fight.

This. It's an special drug I designed to bring out you in a rage.

I like this one.

I hope she doesn't go too fast.

Huntress.

Huntress.

There's no response.

I found a match for the symbol.

This is a set of evidence photographs from an arrest a few weeks ago.

That's the same disc.

- Yeah. - What does that mean?

Maybe the arresting officer knows.

Reese.

Yeah. Reese.

Detective Reese, this is Oracle.

I need you to take a look at your computer screen.

Not much for small talk today, huh?

Hey, how you doing? How's the job? Good? Great. Computer, please.

You know, this is a secure network. How did...

Wait a minute.

I've seen this.

Look, you arrested a man who had this disc on him.

Do you know what it is?

No, no, not really.

The guy who was carrying it lawyered up on me...

and made like smoke before I could get anything much.

I mean, I did a little snooping around, but all I got was a bunch of bizarre rumors.

What kind of rumors, exactly?

Something about an underground fighting ring,

except with women.

So wait a second.

Men actually pay to watch women beat each other up?

Well, from what they say, it's worse than that.

These women actually fight to their death.

But why? I mean, what do you know about it?

I mean, come on. This can't be for real, is it?

I mean, I actually tried to look for this club, but I didn't find anything.

Oracle?

It's Huntress, Detective.

She was chasing down a clue, looking for the other abducted women.

She's missing.

Where was she last seen?

Oracle.

Damn it, Oracle, talk to me.

Look, if you know something,

now is not the time to be playing your lone vigilante games with me. I can help you.

Okay.

Do you know where Old Gotham is, Detective?

Chow time, girls.

Where's my food?

You're fighting tonight. You eat after you fight.

I'm hungry!

Well, then I guess you better win.

Eat.

What did you do to it?

Nothing.

You put something in it.

You're trying to poison me. Do you think I'm an idiot?

Just eat it!

I see the drug is working.

Your anger will become more intense,

even harder to control over time,

until... pop.

Why are you doing this to us?

You may have noticed that my otherwise flawless...

looks are marred by a slight imperfection.

For some odd reason, it's always seemed to drive the ladies away.

Really?

Why, your inner beauty doesn't shine right through?

And not just the pretty ones.

I've tried whores, skanks, even freaks like you.

Tell me, what right does a walking aberration like you have to reject me?

How could I?

You're the perfect package, right?

Maybe you and I should have a little fun before you fight.

You know, while you still have your looks.

Yeah.

Let's start the fun right now.

The fun's starting soon enough.

I'm ready to go and don't tell me it's too dangerous for me to go by myself,

or that we have to do more research to figure out what's happening, because...

the longer we wait, the more chance of something horrible happening to Helena.

I won't.

You won't what?

Tell you not to go.

'Cause I had this whole rebuttal thing planned out. It was actually pretty good.

Look...

Helena may be in trouble,

and I know if there's anybody that can find her and help her...

it's you.

Thank you.

I re-tuned the frequency on your comm set and put a booster on it to...

compensate for the bad signal in Old Gotham, so we shouldn't lose contact now, okay?

Dinah.

Bring her back.

Show time, ladies!

Final touches, please. We must look good for the paying customers.

Your ass is mine when I get out of here.

Yum, you are a feisty little one,

But I'm afraid little laser Claire here is the next in line.

She's going up against my champion Kayla.

She's 12-0, aren't you, darling?

Take her.

You want to see a real fight?

Let me show you a real fight.

You're fast becoming my favorite.

Take her instead.

Gentlemen, welcome to our main event.

In the cage to the left, 12-time champion...

Kayla the Destroyer!

And in the cage to the right, her challenger...

the Green Scorpion...

Green Scorpion?

Of Doom.

Great, 'cause that makes it better.

For a 12-time champ, you don't look so tough.

What's your meta human skill, the power to give dirty looks?

Sorry I asked.

I don't want to hurt you.

Okay, maybe now I do.

Looks like you might need some moisturizer, Destroyer.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Do you know what happens when one of my girls refuses to kill her opponent?

I am not one of your girls.

I have her tortured to death. You kill or you die that's the rules.

- I don't like rules. - So I've noticed.

You're fighting the drug harder than anyone has before,

but you'll break.

And the kill will be all the more savage and spectacular.

Watching you lose control is going to be worth breaking the rules just this once.

Why don't you come in here and see what else I can break?

You know, I can't decide whether to send you out again tonight or just keep you as a pet.

But I suppose I can't be selfish and deprive my customers of your...

skills.

Finding someone worthy of you is going to be...

quite the challenge.

Any luck?

There was another drug in the woman's hair.

It affects the amygdala.

The part of the brain that controls anger and rage.

That must be how he's making the women fight,

although in Miss Helena's case, a drug like that might be a trifle redundant.

She has trouble controlling her temper as it is.

I mean, if someone was actually trying to make her go postal...

Attempting to find an antidote might be a good idea.

Yeah, I'll get right on it.

This is a crime fighter.

This is a crime fighter on drugs.

I'm in.

I'm trying to find a way to reverse the drug.

Until then, you probably don't want to get too close.

Wait a minute. I came all the way down here to find her, and now you want to avoid her?

Just stay at a safe distance.

What happens if we can't reverse the drug?

Well, the longer the drug is in Helena's system, the more it'll affect her.

Eventually, she'll just tear herself apart.

Hang on, Reese has triggered the batring.

That's funny. He's moving, fast.

Come on.

Well, hey, it took you long enough.

Well, I'm kind of in the middle of something.

Well, that symbol on the key card.

I paid another visit to the guy who had it on him and...

he didn't have his lawyers with him this time.

So you decided to, not play by the rules?

Well, put it this way,

it's funny how talkative a guy can get when he's hanging by his ankles out of a window.

Anyway, bottom line is I got the lead on this fight club.

It's a place called Gladiatrix. I'm on my way.

- What about backup? - No, no, no, no.

The guy running the show is paying off the cops.

Even the Deputy Commissioner is a regular.

And trust me, it gets even better.

They're a little paranoid about their paying customers carrying weapons inside.

You know, Reese, I don't know about this.

Oracle, this is Huntress in there. I owe her, and more.

Is there anything I can say?

Doubt it.

Yeah, okay, well, you're going to need a way to stay in touch.

Take a left at the next light.

Wait a minute, how did you know?

Basic triangulation of your cell phone, which is not really important right now,

so if you would, just pull up to the corner.

Okay.

- Roll down your window. - What?

Just do it.

Good evening, Detective Reese.

- Hi. - Compliments of Oracle.

Open it.

It's 2-way, undetectable.

We'll be able to stay in constant communication while you're underground.

Listen, thank you v...

Come on. Not another one.

All right. This is the deal...

Huntress.

Are you all right?

I'm afraid she's not really herself right now.

Huntress, is it?

I prefer Green Scorpion of Doom myself.

A little more flair.

I recognize you from the alley.

You're little Miss Crime Fighter Junior.

I won't let you hurt her!

Such friendship, such devotion, how touching.

I wonder if Huntress here will remember who you are after she tears the life out of you?

The only thing I can think of better than a girl fight,

is a girlfriend fight.

Take her.

I don't know about you,

but I can hardly wait to see who wins.

Oracle, the good news is I found Helena,

The bad news is I'm about to fight her.

Gentlemen,

gentlemen. a very special treat for you tonight...

no extra charge.

- I can't find Reese. - He's just getting there.

Step back. Relax. And let's find out...

Okay, I found him. He's in the crowd.

Reese, listen to me.

Don't make a move.

I need more time to find a way to reverse the effects of the drug.

Do not break your cover. Don't do it, Reese.

All right, all right, Dinah, you've got to stall. All right? We need to buy some time.

Release them!

Oracle...

time's up.

Dinah, can you tell how strongly Helena's been affected by the drug?

I'd say pretty strongly.

We've got to buy you some time. Listen, I know how she fights.

She's going to attack your weak side.

Yeah, a little more warning, please.

Dinah, Dinah, you've got to hang on. Just a few more seconds.

Someone better watch out. I'm getting pissed.

That's it.

Dinah, Reese, I've got it.

I've analyzed the drug's antidote matrix,

and what we need to do is give Huntress another dose.

It'll flood the amygdala and shut it down.

We need to get another dose. Reese,

you need to find a dose, and you've got to get it to Huntress and Dinah.

Just hang on, Dinah. Just hang on.

What are you doing here?

I was just looking for the restroom.

I guess this isn't it, is it?

All right, talk to me. Where's your boss keep the drugs?

I can't tell you that. He'll kill me.

Does it look like I'm going to ask you to dance?

I think you better ask yourself which one of us is going to kill you first.

Okay, okay. Down the hall, three doors to the left.

Thanks.

Stop him!

Take them, you cowards! Take them!

- All right! Let's go. Come on! - Wait!

I'm sure we can come to some sort of understanding.

Yes, I agree.

You want to talk about my limitations?

- Dinah, this isn't you. It's the drug. - Are you sure about that?

Reese!

So how's it feel on the inside?

You want your money back? Is that it?

Fine, we can deal. Just call them off.

It was just a bit of fun.

You can't say it wasn't fun, now, can you?

I should probably say something about Christians and lions, but you know what?

I don't have the energy.

Everyone's out.

So we get to go.

I called Barbara. I thought she might like to know that we didn't beat each other to death.

Did you tell her about Malcolm?

I left out a few details.

What do you think's going to happen to him?

I don't know.

I'm guessing him being in a cage, it's not going so well for him.

But I guess you kind of got what you wanted.

You know, you and me, Rocky versus Apollo.

I don't remember Rocky versus Apollo being a death match.

Anyways, I sort of proved my point, regardless.

What point is that?

That you could take me if you were on a rage-inducing super drug?

I kicked your ass. Anyways, you were under the influence, too.

Maybe, or maybe I just gave you a really big shot at me. Guess we'll never know.

Ha ha. You know what this sounds like to me? Rematch.

You're a teenager. You have to fight.

I'm an adult,

sort of.

So I get to win.

And besides,

I know Barbara was coaching you over your comms.

Little sore there.

I'll give you a hand.

Go ahead, do it.

Promise you'll keep your hands off of him?

And your mouth. No back seat fighting.

- He's all yours. - Thanks.

Give up yet?

Give up?

You want some advice, girlie?

Turn and run.

I'm sorry. Running?

It's just not my style.
