I was like, going to have to up my game today.
This is-- this is exciting.
I have a girl crush on her.
[LAUGHING]
An actor girl crush.
This episode and next episode were
like the scariest episodes I've ever had
in my existence as an actress.
Because I had to completely succumb to the physicality,
the emotional life, the--
like everything when it came to the effect kryptonite
is having on Ryan.
It was so scary because I'm a control freak
and I was just like, well what if I don't like it?
[SCREAMING]
It feels like my brain is hemorrhaging.
It's even nastier since yesterday.
It kind of reeks too.
It kinda--
Look very helpful.
OK.
Remember a few days ago when I deleted half the DVR
to make room for your shows?
Just remember you like me, OK.
[SCREAMING]
What the hell just happen?
I'm trying really hard not to seriously freak out right now,
but I'm pretty sure the kryptonite just
entered her brain.
Leah Gibson-- it was another--
I mean, I have multiple favorite times in the season.
But the scenes that I filmed with her when she was
handcuffed in a subway tunnel to a ladder
I was quite blown away with her performance.
And I just--
I just think it needs to be said.
She's so incredibly talented and I--
I remember thinking when we were rehearsing the scene
and she just brought it and I was like,
oh, I'm going to have to up my game today.
This is-- this is exciting.
I have a girl crush on her.
[LAUGHING]
An actor girl crush.
The new huge information that Alice wasn't expecting
was, oh Safiyah's the one who got into my head
and essentially said, you are going to embrace this persona
to go from Alice who could, you know,
kill a woman named Mabel because you're full of rage in a moment
to a super villian who has an army and has a following
and has an agenda and can kill without thinking
twice about it.
Save some for the fishies.
So, Safiyah and I shared a common enemy.
She thought I'd be a good soldier
and I started to hate crush her metaphorical brother.
Call me old fashioned, but I'm missing
the motive for a lobotomy.
You're really not getting it.
Are you?
Well you're not exactly unfolding the plot
to a Shakespearean drama here.
Safiyah would claim she wanted you for her army.
Survival instincts would make you an excellent fighter
and advisor.
And what would you claim?
That she was in love with you.
I think it gives a real context for who
Alice is today and actually I--
I often feel it's really the jumping
off point for the audience to have
any sort of empathy for Alice.
Because a lot of what she does in the present day
is a bit out there.
She went through all of that trauma in Cartwright's house
and started to identify as Alice and not this Beth anymore,
but where she really lost her humanity along the way
actually happened in Coryana when Safiyah stole her memory
and an ability to love.
I think we need to ask my dad to bring
a flower back with Kate.
If he finds the map and if he gets there in time.
Not to mention, Mary, that the man just shut down your clinic.
How do you think he'll react to finding out
you're on the bad team?
I'm still in the brainstorming phase.
I--
[ENGINE REVS]
Mike?
[TIRES SQUEAL]
To be the one to sort of say, OK to Alice's death
is a question that I don't think Mary
knew she'd be answering today.
I don't think Mary knew that she would be the one
to let her take those reins.
I think it's a very big deal.
And I think the sisterhood, you know,
triangle of Kate, Alice, and Mary
comes up again from Mary's past and it
sort of takes control of her.
[INAUDIBLE].
- Why are you giving me the key? - I'll just take the Batmobile.
- I can take the Batmobile. - You've never driven it before.
I've never driven your car before.
- Mary, no. - Yes.
- No. - Yes.
- Mary. - What?
POLICE: Suspect.
Put you hands in the air--
[INAUDIBLE]
Hell yeah.
[ENGINE REVS]
Well I think Alice always thinks that she's more
in control of everything than-- than she is,
which in a way makes her beautifully
human because I think that's probably true for all of us.
I think a normal person's reaction to having their memory
wiped, you know, would-- would probably be a lot larger
than Alice's who already lives in, you know,
this kind of other worldly dimension.
It's kind of another Tuesday for Alice.
It's just another reason to be angry with Safiyah and--
and the world.
The reason no one noticed was because you two hated each.
I use my weight against people.
Ryan has had this bone to pick with Alice and she
has made it in no uncertain terms--
this is what she wants to do.
She said in an episode one when she you put the suit on
and she's been warned you can't kill in the bat suit.
But, you know, that's just-- she just gave her word that she
wouldn't, but when push comes to shove,
it's like this is the thing that has been driving me
for a lot of episodes-- for a lot of time
and I've been thinking about this every day of my life
and now I actually can and I might die tomorrow
and my mom will have died in vain is her mentality.
So it's much more premeditated on Ryan's side
and it's also much more emotionally
complicated for Ryan whereas the Kate killing Cartwright-- it
was just pure rage and anger.
I think that was driving her.
I do think that Mary in this moment
allows Ryan to kill Alice and she accepts what that means.
It's pretty dark, but I do think she allows--
she signs off on Alice's death, which
is why when Ryan comes back and she says that she let Alice go,
like, just like that I think it is a relief to Mary, maybe,
that Alice isn't dead, but also the choice that she's made
she can never unmake.
Certain decisions that we make we can never undo.
And so what that's going to mean for Mary
going forward, especially in her interactions with Alice--
I'm really excited to explore and see potentially
what that means.
I wasn't the one who killed her.
Your army did.
Because of you-- because you turned
them into cold blooded killers.
Going into the world of the hallucinations--
that was really fun.
But also really, really scary because,
again, I had to play into the physicality
of what was happening when--
when I am in, like, the real world.
But now when I'm not in the real world
and I'm in the host nation world, oh my goodness
I remember everything now.
It's all coming back to me my flashes in the dream.
We had all of the epic fight scenes
and this is actually the only other time
that Rachel and I have truly played together in this season.
That was so much fun.
First of all, Rachel is so much fun to play with.
It's just amazing to be able to like come together in episode
and have a super fun trippy scenes where you're just
popping up in different places and you're like fighting
and you're beating the faces off of each other and all
kind of stuff like that.
It was so much fun.
Mya.
The isn't the girl I raised.
But she killed you.
I don't know what made you this way.
But you're not worth it.
You'll never be worth it.
It wasn't my fault.
Everything's your fault. Now leave.
Am I going to make the decision to just go--
go ahead with my life and maybe I'll just be Ryan because I
want to kill this person and I'll walk away
from everything that is good that that woman has
brought to my life--
everything that is good that that woman
has done for other people.
Is this a-- is this vengeance worth walking away from that?
And I think that in that moment she realizes,
no you are not going to allow me to lose
the best thing I've ever had because then
you're still winning.
In death you're still winning.
That means you took my mom and you
took the next-- the one other thing that I have ever loved.
And I think that that's really what that is for her.
Obviously she does not end up killing Alice,
but it puts her in this precarious position
because now Alice knows exactly who she is
and like we saw before with Kate, Alice manipulates
that to her own advantage.
Her-- her knowing the truth of her identity does come
into play in the story and the big
question becomes is Alice going to spill the beans or not.
And that's something that we'll see a little deeper
into the season.
But in that moment for Ryan--
Ryan doesn't care.
She thinks she's going to die in a couple hours.
So, yeah, it does kind of come back to haunt her a little bit.
How did I get back here?
Logan and I found you outside of Angelique's.
Yeah.
But good news.
I got to drive the Batmobile.
Bad news-- the wipers button and the rocket launchers
look very similar.
Someone should label those.
What did you do?
I should be asking you that, missy.
Why did you go to Angelique's in the batsuit?
I needed a lead on Ocean.
You're dying and you waste your last gasps
of energy on him.
No.
I find Ocean.
I find Alice so I can hear her last gasp.
Ryan?
No.
I am not going down without getting
justice for both of our moms.
Let's just get some more fluids in you first
and then we can talk bucket list.
If Batwoman kills, it takes away from the one thing
she can stand on.
You know, you can have a bunch of--
you can have a bunch of villains and superheroes within Gotham,
but there has to be someone that stands on some type of morality
in some type of stance that never changes no matter
what the circumstances are.
And I think that it's really important
that Batwoman stands on that.
You can beat down the bad guys.
You can beat them down to a pulp.
They have to live, you know.
And yeah, I think that if she kills then
she's no different than the crows.
