Int. Gordon Home - DAY

Gordon comes to the kitchen where he meets Barbara, who has already prepared his morning coffee.

GORDON. Good morning.

BARBARA. Good morning, I made it just the way you like it.

She hands him the cup of coffee as he smiles at her, then an almost worried look flashes across his face before his playful mood returns.

GORDON. So, I'm guessing Saturdays are supposed to be some kind of day off for high school teachers. Why don't you show me around the new park downtown? You look like you could use a day off.

BARBARA. Oh? What's the sudden interest in topiary? Dad, if your worried about me not getting enough-

GORDON. No, no Barbara, it's nothing like that. I just think I haven't spent enough time with my little Babs lately.

Barbara can tell something's wrong but she smiles and plays along anyway.

BARBARA. Well then to the park it is. I could probably use a break.

Ext. New Gotham Street - DAY

Detective Reese walks casually down a not too crowded city sidewalk. Plenty of cars zoom by. As one passes by obstructing our view, the next thing we and Reese know is that Helena is walking beside him. She's not in her usual Huntress attire, but civilian casual clothes instead.

HELENA. Hi.

Reese knows she's there so instead of looking at her straight away he looks around at any by-passers that might have seen her drop in. She just looks around innocently, not caring whether anyone has seen her little entrance or not.

REESE. Uh hey. Took you long enough.

HUNTRESS. Well someone's getting a little impatient isn't he? Besides that *long* wait gave us some answers.

REESE. What've you got?

Helena pulls a folded piece of paper out of her pocket. After unfolding it she hands it to Reese, it's Oracle's information on Croc and Marson.

HELENA. Turns out you're right. The guy who owned the gym, apparently he and Crocy go way back. He's probably your dead body.

REESE. (while reading the paper) Pete Marson. That would make sense since no one stepped up to inquire about the places damages. And if he really was involved in any of this stuff, it would be the reason why none of the witnesses claim to have seen him or his death.

HELENA. And now that Croc's got his revenge he'll probably crawl back in his hole and never be heard from again.

REESE. Then all we have to do is hunt him down. You think you can handle that?

HELENA. Why do you think I'm called the Huntress?

They have now walked all the way to Reese's car and are standing just in front of it.

HELENA. We'll need a lead, but Oracle can't whip us up any information. She's sorta out of commission for the day. (Reese raises an eyebrow) It's complicated.

REESE. Thats fine. I may have an idea about where to start.

He hops into the front seat. Helena pulls open the passenger door and jumps in as he starts the car.

HELENA. Then lead the way, Detective.

Ext. No Man's Land - DAY

Dinah leans against the outside window with her arms crossed. She looks around to see if anyone's looking before speaking.

DINAH. Why can't I help Helena track down Croc?

ORACLE. (VO) Because she's already working with Reese on it. Besides the only way you could help right now would be with the clocktower's equipment, which I know you don't want to do.

Dinah takes in a breath about to retaliate but as if anticipating her stubbornness, Barbara continues.

ORACLE. (VO) But, I do need you to look into something for me. Last night, shortly after the attack on the gym, two meta-related robberies took place within the area.

DINAH. Robberies? Oh come on Barbara, that's all I get?

ORACLE. (VO) I have a feeling that these might give us some clues to Croc's recent activities.

DINAH. (sighs) Ok, but this better not be a wild goose chase.

ORACLE. (VO) I'll send Gibson the coordinates before I leave. Continue to keep in contact.

DINAH. Got it. See you tonight.

Dinah turns towards the door and walks into No Man's Land.

Int. Gordon Home - CONTINUING

Gordon walks back into the room just after Barbara finished her conversation with Dinah. He walks over to her, placing her coat around her shoulders.

GORDON. Ready?

He opens the front door. Barbara let's him guide her out the door.

BARBARA. As I'll ever be.

Ext. Street - DAY

We're now back at the construction scene where Reese and McNally were at the beginning. The police tape is still up but just around the hole itself. Most everything else has been cleaned and cleared for civilians safe passage. Reese and Helena stay with the shadows of the nearby buildings.

HELENA. And the place was littered with animal blood? Yeah, that definitely sounds like our guy. He's practically an animal.

REESE. I think he might be living in the sewers and caused the cave in to block his trail.

HELENA. That would make sense and there should be another entrance and exit to this sewage line through the main system. All I need to do now, is find it.

Ext. Fancy Restaurant Roof - DAY

Dinah steps onto the roof of a restaurant that was just robbed last night. Policeman are still examining the area so she has decided to stick to the roof. One corner of the roof has been broken away much like the wall of Sensation Boxing Gym. She creeps over to it and crouches down to take a closer look. She tries to peer inside but she can hear police jabbering and noise from below. As she leans in a glint catches her eye. Something imbedded within the crumbling structure is reflecting the sun. She reaches over and pulls out a small scale glinting in the sunlight. A sly smile speeds across her face. From within the hole an officer walks under it, talking to another officer.

POLICEMAN. We should check the roof. That hole looks like the escape route.

All we see is Dinah's shadow backing away from the hole and the top of her head as she drops down over the edge.

Ext. Street - DAY

Helena is now watching Reese do his job as he talks to some other officers about updates on the hole and the blood samples.

DINAH. (VO) Huntress, I think I found something at the crime scene on 6th. Is Reese free cause I can't exactly do much at this time of day?

HELENA. I think he should be.

DINAH. (VO) Great, just ask him to investigate or whatever he does at the jewelry heist on 6th. I need to get some stuff to Alfred then meet Barbara at Gordon's.

HELENA. Ok, I'll pass it on.

Helena looks at Reese making eye contact. She nods her head for him to come over. As he approaches her nonchalantly within the shadows, she speaks.

HELENA. I think Dinah needs you check out the robbery on 6th. I'll search out a tunnel passage while you take care of that.

REESE. Got it.

He heads to his car while Helena jumps up to the rooftops.

Ext. New Gotham City Park - EVENING

Barbara and her father are walking through a snow laden park in Downtown Gotham. Large Christmas trees and decorations are hung about every corner in beauty. He stops her at a dry bench with an overhanging canopy.

GORDON. Barbara, we need to talk. (she glances nervously at him) About Wade's death.

Barbara swallows, her face drops and she can no longer look him in the eyes. She should have seen this coming.

BARBARA. Dad, I-

GORDON. Barbara, I don't need to know all the answers because I'm not going to ask any questions but one. Are you okay?

He holds her hands in his, waiting for her to compose herself. She nods and looks at him.

BARBARA. The funeral's next weekend. I'm going to go, and...

GORDON. (nods) Will you be alright?

BARBARA. (takes a deep breath) Yes, yes I will.

GORODN. I know you will. You were always the strong one. But when I heard what happened I thought I should give you this a little early. (he pulls out a small gift box) Your Christmas present.

Barbara gives him a look like "you shouldn't have" and takes the box into her hands. She smiles as she pulls off the ribbon and opens the box. She pulls out what looks like a chain necklace with a small sun pendant on the end.

BARBARA. It's beautiful.

GORDON. My good friend Thomas Wayne gave me that pendant. Apparently it's some kind of antique. (he shrugs then leans in near her) I just hope it helps brighten up your days a little more. (he winks)

BARBARA. (smiles) Thank you.

GORDON. Anything for my, Babs. Oh, there is one more thing. (he searches in his pockets for a moment before pulling out an old key) I found this on my windowsill the other day, and maybe I'm getting older than I think but I'm pretty sure I didn't put it there. Maybe you can find out what it goes to. I know how much you love to play the detective.

BARBARA. (taking the key) I'll see what I can do.

Int. The Lair - DAY

Dinah plugs a cord into the side of one of the computers in the main hub. The other end of the cord leads to a scanner where Alfred is just now placing the scales she collected from the crime scene. She takes a seat and leans against one of the consoles.

DINAH. I got the one on the left from the restaurant and the other one from the jewelry store, but he couldn't have gotten to both places in one night, could he?

ALFRED. The strangeness of Master Bruce's villains certainly always left room for the unexplainable but he always found a logical explanation.

DINAH. Sounds like someone else we know. Anyway, I told Reese to check out the jewelry store because that was the only one with any witnesses, hopefully he can find something I couldn't.

ALFRED. And I hope Miss Gordon can find something once these are processed and sent to her.

Dinah stands up and stretches. She grabs her bag and heads to the elevator exit.

DINAH. Which means I should probably head over there right now. See you later Alfred.

She steps into the elevator and waves as the doors close.

Int. Jewelry Store - DAY

Detective Reese is standing across from someone with his notebook in hand. In the background we can see various policemen looking around the trashed and robbed jewelry store.

REESE. So, you said you saw some kind of big green monster?

MAN. Yeah, that's right.

REESE. And what's your name again?

MAN. Gar. Kenny Gar.

Turn to see the man's face and he is most definitely not Kenny Gar. Instead we see a well shaven shadowed, Pete Marson.
