Now there is the Batman.
Oh, you want to play! Come on.
Come on...
He missed!
You can't stop here! We're like sitting ducks!
Come on... Come on... I want you to do it.
Come on!
Hit me... hit me!
Hit me!
Could you please just give me a minute?
We got you, you son of a bitch.
Gordon... You do like to play things pretty close to the chest?
We got him, Harvey.
Mr. Dent, Mr. Dent! How does it feel to be the biggest hero in Gotham?
No. I'm no hero. Gotham's finest, they're the heroes.
But you and your office have been working with the Batman all along?
No. But I trusted him to do the right thing. Saving my ass.
Alright people! That's enough. Let him be.
Thank you, detective. I got a date with a pretty upset girlfriend.
Thank you, counselor.
Stay away! All of you.
I don't want anything for his mob lawyer to use, you understand?
Back from the dead?
I... I couldn't risk my family's safety.
What do we got?
Nothing. No matches on prints, DNA, dental. Clothing is custom, no labels.
Nothing in his pockets but knives and lint. No name, no other alias.
Go home, Gordon. The clown will keep til morning. Go get some rest. You're going to need it.
Tomorrow you take the big job. You don't have any say in the matter, Commissioner Gordon.
I'm sorry, I couldn't risk...
- Heads up big bastards! - I don't feel good...
You're a cop killer.
You're lucky to be feeling anything below the neck.
Police!
Stay away from the bars!
My insides hurt.
Did Batman save you, Daddy?
Actually this time I saved him.
Has he said anything yet?
Evening... Commissioner.
Harvey Dent never made it home.
Of course not.
What have you done with him?
Me? I was right here.
Who did you leave him with?
Your people?
That's assuming of course that they are still your people, and not Maroni's.
Does it depress you, commissioner?
To know just how alone you really are?
Does it make you feel responsible for Harvey Dent's current predicament?
Where is he?
What's the time?
What difference does that make?
Well, depending on the time, he may in one spot or several.
If we're gonna play games... I'm gonna need a cup of coffee.
Ah, the good cop, bad cop routine?
Not exactly.
Never start with the head, the victim gets all fuzzy. He can't feel...
See?
You wanted me. Here I am.
I wanted to see what you would do. And you didn't disappoint.
You let five people die.
Then you let Dent take your place.
- Even to a guy like me, that's cold. - Where's Dent?
Those mob fools want you gone so they can get back to the way things were.
But I know the truth. There's no going back.
You've changed things... Forever.
Then why do you want to kill me?
I don't want to kill you! What would I do without you?
Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no. No! You.. complete me.
You're garbage. You kill for money.
Don't talk like one of them. You're not!
Even if you'd like to be. To them you're just a freak. Like me.
They need you right now.
When they don't, they'll cast you out.
See there are morals, your code... it's a bad joke.
Dropped at the first sign of trouble.
They are only as good as the world allows them to be.
I'll show you. When the chips are down
these civilized people, they'll eat each other.
See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.
Where's Dent?
You have all these rules and you think they'll save you.
He's in control.
I have one rule.
Oh.. Then that's the rule you'll have to break to know the truth..
Which is?
The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules.
And tonight you're gonna break your one rule.
I'm considering it.
No, there's only minutes left, so you're gonna have to play my little game if you want to save one of them.
You know for a while there I thought you really were Dent. The way you threw yourself after her...
Look at you go?
Does Harvey know about you and his little bunny?
Where are they?
Killing is making a choice.
Where are they?
Choose between one life or the other. Your friend, the DA, or his blushing bride-to-be?
You have nothing to threaten me with. Nothing to do with all your strength.
Don't worry. I'm gonna tell you where they are.
Both of them. And that's the point. You'll have to choose.
He's at 250 52nd street. And she's on Avenue X, at Cicero.
- Which one you going after? - Rachel.
We're getting Dent!
250 52nd street!
Hello! Can anybody hear me?
Hello!
- Rachel? - Harvey!
Oh, Harvey! Thank God! Are you okay?
I'm alright. I'm in a warehouse. They've got me wired to these oil drums.
I am too. Harvey...
I want... I want my phone call. I want my phone call!
I want my phone call.
That's nice.
How many of your friends have I killed?
I'm a twenty year man.
I know the difference between punks who need a little lesson in manners...
and the freaks like you who just enjoy it.
And you've killed six of my friends.
Please. My insides hurt.
I don't really care! Back away.
The boss said that he'd make the voices go away.
He said he'd go inside and replace them with bright lights.
Like Christmas!
You're out of your mind, pal. Back off!
Medic right away in the holding deck. Come on, get the door open.
You guys back off!
Listen, we don't have a lot of time. He told me that only one of us was going to make it.
And that they were going to let our friends choose.
Okay, Rachel. It's going to be fine. It going to be all right. They're coming for you.
Okay. I'll help you. Talk me through with what's going on with you.
Can find anything sharp?
I'm trying.
What... Harvey?
Harvey, what's happening?
All available units. Converge to 250 52nd street.
Do you want to know why I use a knife?
Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the little emotion.
You see... In their last moments people show you who they really are.
So, in a way I know your friends better than you ever did.
Would you like to know which of them were cowards?
- What's that? - He's got some kind of a contusion.
I know you're going to enjoy this. I'm gonna have to try and enjoy it even more.
Easy! Easy!
Drop the weapon now! Let him go now! Drop the weapon!
- Sorry. - What do you want?
I just want my phone call.
What... What's happening?
Just talk to me for one second.
Alright.
Is that a... phone?
Mount the curb!
Harvey... just in case, l want to tell you something.
Don't think like that, Rachel! They're coming for you.
I know they are. But I don't want them to.
I don't want to live without you and l do have an answer for you.
My answer is yes.
No! No! No! Not me. Why are you coming for me? No!
Rachel! Rachel!
Harvey... Okay.
Harvey, it's okay. It's alright. Listen. Some...
No!
Rachel! No!
Hello there.
Back at the MCU the Joker's gone.
With Lau?
The Joker planned to be caught. He wanted me to lock him up in the MCU.
Dear Bruce.
I need to be honest and clear.
I'm going to marry Harvey Dent.
I love him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him.
When I told you that if Gotham not longer needed
Batman we could be together, I meant it.
But now I'm sure the day won't come when you no longer need Batman.
I hope it does. And if it does, I'll be there. But as your friend.
I'm sorry, Harvey.
I'm sorry I let you down.
If you lose your faith in me, please keep your faith in people.
Love, now and always, Rachel.
I prepared a little breakfast.
Very well, then...
Alfred.
Yes, Master Wayne.
Should I bring this on her?
I was meant to inspire good. Not madness, not death.
You have inspired good. But you spat in the faces of Gotham's criminals.
Didn't you think there might be some casualties? Things are always going to get worse before they get better.
But Rachel, Alfred...
Rachel believed in what you stood for. What we stand for.
Gotham needs you.
No. Gotham needs its true hero.
And I let that murdering psychopathic blow him half to hell.
Which is why for now they're going to have to make do with you.
She was going to wait for me, Alfred.
Dent doesn't know. He can never know.
- What's that? - It could wait.
That bandit in the forest, in Burma. Did you catch him?
Yes
How?
We burned the forest down.
He's a credible source. An MNA lawyer from a prestigious consultancy.
He says he's waited as long as he can for the Batman to do the right thing.
Now he's taking matters into his own hands.
We'll be live at 5 with the true identity of the Batman.
I'm sorry about Rachel.
The doctor says you're in agonizing pain, but you won't accept medication.
That you're refusing to accept skin grafts.
You remember that name you all had for me when I was at Internal Affairs?
What was it, Gordon?
Harvey...
Say it.
Say it!
Two Face... Harvey Two Face.
Why should I hide who I am?
I know you tried to warn me.
I'm sorry.
Wuertz picked you up. Was he working for them?
Do you know who picked up Rachel?
Harvey, I need to know which of my men I can trust.
Why would you listen to me now?
I'm sorry, Harvey.
No, no, you're not. Not yet.
He's crazy. It's too much...
You should have thought about that before you let the clown out of the box.
You want him?
I can tell you where he'll be this afternoon.
You're not so crazy as you look.
I told you I'm a man of my word.
Where's the Italian?
All tactical units will converge on the location in 20 minutes.
I want auxiliary units to cover all possible getaway routes.
Joker, What do you do with all your money?
I'm a guy of simple taste. I enjoy dynamite, gunpowder and gasoline!
But what...?
And you know the thing that they have in common? They're cheap.
I want to know how much they're paying you to say who Batman really is.
This is our chance. I want Lau alive. The Joker... either way.
Hey, Jim! Get a load of this.
Let's take the next caller.
Harvey Dent didn't want to give in to this maniac.
Do you think you know better than him?
I think that if we could talk to Dent today he may feel differently.
And we wish him a speedy recovery. God knows we need him now.
You said you were a man of your word.
Oh, I am! I'm only burning my half.
All you care about is money.
This town deserves a better class of criminals.
And I'm gonna give it to them.
Tell your men they work for me now.
This is my city.
They won't work for a freak.
A freak? Why don't we cut you up into little pieces
and feed you to your pooches? Hmm? And then we'll see how loyal a hungry dog really is.
It's not about money. It's about sending a message: Everything burns.
- Who is this? - I had a vision.
A world without Batman. The mob ground out a little profit.
The police tried to shut them down one block at a time.
And it was so... boring. I've had a change of heart.
I don't want Mr. Reese spoiling everything.
But why should I have all the fun?
Let's give someone else a chance.
If Coleman Reese isn't dead in 60 minutes then I blow up a hospital.
I want you to call in every officer. Tell them to head to their nearest hospital.
And start evac and search.
Call the transport authority, school board, prisons.
Get every available bystander to a hospital.
The priority is Gotham General. Wheel everybody out of that place now!
You, you and you. Come with me.
Where are we going, Sir?
To get Reese.
I need you plugged in checking Gordon's men and their families.
Looking for?
Hospital admissions.
Will you be wanting the Batpod, sir?
In the middle of the day, Alfred? Not very subtle.
The Lamborghini, then? Much more subtle...
Excuse me. Let me through. Excuse me.
Sir, could you help, please?
Go find a bus for him.
Sir, commissioner. Do you really think an ordinary citizen will try to kill this man?
See Brian Richards.
No immediate family member admitted to a Gotham hospital.
- They're trying to kill me. - Maybe the Batman can save you.
Davis, I got space. Bring him out.
Davis!
I saw Burns and there's Zachary.
Nothing on them.
And a patrolman I don't know.
So what now...
Where are we going?
Send the information to Gordon.
Get out of here.
Davis!
Ma'am, we're going to have to move him now...
It's Berg, isn't it?
Commissioner.
You okay, son?
Hi.
You know.
I don't want there to be any hard feelings between us, Harvey.
When you and uh..
Rachel!
... Rachel were being abducted I was sitting in Gordon's cage.
I didn't rig those charges.
Your men, your plan.
Do I really look like a guy with a plan?
You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars.
I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it!
You know, I just do things.
The mob has plans, the cops have plans.
Gordon's got plans. They're schemers.
Schemers trying to control their little worlds.
I'm not a schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic
their attempts to control things really are.
So... When I say...
Come here.
When I say that you and your girlfriend was nothing personal...
You know that I'm telling the truth.
I'm going to need your weapon.
What?
Why? Because my wife is in the hospital?
Yeah. That would be why.
It's the schemers that put you where you are.
You were a schemer. You had plans. And look where that got you.
The police force are taking every possible precaution
urging everyone not to take matters into their own hands.
I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and I turned it on itself.
Look what I did to this city with a few
drums of gas and a couple of bullets.
You know... You know what I noticed?
Nobody panics when things go according to plan.
Even if the plan is horrifying.
If tomorrow I tell the press that like a gangbanger will get shot
or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics.
Because it's all part of the plan.
But when I say that one little old mayor will die...
Well then everybody loses their minds!
Introduce a little anarchy.
Upset the established order. And everything becomes chaos.
I'm an agent of chaos.
Oh, and you know the thing about chaos?
It's fair.
You live...
You die...
Now we're talking!
Mr. Reese...
It's Mr. Wayne, isn't it? That was a very brave thing you did.
Trying to catch the light?
You weren't protecting the Van?
Why? Who's in it?
Do you think I should go to the hospital?
You don't watch a whole lot of news, do you, Mr. Wayne?
Southeast... That's Gotham general. Did you clear the building?
We must know how many were inside! You got patient lists, role calls.
Right now, we're showing fifty people missing. One bus.
All these others buses are heading off to other hospitals. My guess is we missed one.
Yeah? Well, what's your guess about where Harvey Dent is?
Keep looking. And keep it to yourself.
Now if anybody asks, we got him out.
Get the mayor's office on the line.
We're going to need the national guard.
Fifty people are missing, including GCN's own Michael Engel.
I'm now being told that we're cutting to a video GCN has just received.
I'm Michael Engel for Gotham Tonight. What does it take to make you people want to join in?
You failed to kill the lawyer. I've got to get you off the bench and into the game.
Come night fall this city is mine. And anyone left here plays by my rules.
Mr. Fox, security is showing a break-in at the RND department.
If you don't want to be in the game. Get out now.
But the bridge and tunnel crowd are sure in for a surprise. HA HA! HA HA!
Sweet Jesus!
Shouldn't you be out there? Doing something?
It is my day off.
I got to take a leak.
Keep an eye out for me.
Now what? You need someone to shake it for you?
Hello
Dent?
Jesus... I thought you was dead.
Half.
Who picked up Rachel, Wuertz?
Must have been Maroni's men.
Shut up!
Are you telling me that you're going to protect the other traitor in Gordon's unit?
I don't know! He never told me.
Listen, Dent. I swear to God I didn't know what they were going to do with you.
That's funny.
Because I don't know what's going to happen to you either.
Beautiful, isn't it?
Beautiful, unethical, dangerous.
You've turned every cell phone in Gotham into a microphone.
And a high-frequency generator receiver.
You took my sonar concept and applied it to every phone in the city.
With half the city feeding you sonar you can image all of Gotham.
This is wrong.
I've got to find this man, Lucius.
At what cost?
The database is null-key encrypted. It can only be accessed by one person.
This is too much power for one person.
That's why I gave it to you.
Only you can use it.
Spying on 30 million people isn't part of my job description.
This is an audio signal.
It feeds off within range of any phone the city you can triangulate its position.
I'll help you this one time.
But consider this my resignation.
As long as this machine is at Wayne Enterprises, I won't be.
When you finish, type in your name.
My office is looking over every inch of the tunnels and bridges,
but with the Joker's threat there are limited options.
And land routes east?
Backed up for hours.
We'll just release the ferries. With thirty thousand ready to board.
Plus I want to use the ferries so I can get some of those prisoners off the island.
The men you and Dent put away? Those aren't people I'm worried about.
You should be. Whatever the Joker's planning
it's a good bet that Harvey's prisoners might be involved.
I want to get them out of here.
So where is Harvey?
We haven't found him.
Jesus...
How long can you keep this quiet?
Don't stop for lights, cops, nothing!
Going to join your wife?
You love her?
Yes
You ever imagine what it would be like to listen to her die?
Look take it up with the Joker. He killed your woman. He made you... like this.
The Joker's just a mad dog.
I want whoever let him off the leash.
I took care of Wuertz. Who is your other man inside Gordon's unit?
Who picked up Rachel? It must have been someone she trusted.
Look, if I tell you you'll let me go?
Can't hurt your chances.
It was Ramirez.
But you said...
I said it couldn't hurt your chances.
You're a lucky man.
But he's not.
Who?
Your driver.
Hey, man! We should be on that boat!
You want to ride a bus with them? Be my guest.
Sir, they've stopped their engines.
Right. Get on the radio.
Tell them we'll come back and pick them up once we dump the scum bags.
Liberty, this is Spirit. Come in.
What the heck was that?
Liberty, come in please. This is Spirit.
We have the same problem. We lost both engines.
Fox. There's something going on on the ferries.
Get down to the engine room now
Captain, we got a hundreds barrels down there rigged to blow. And this.
- Oh my God! - Looks like some kind of detonator.
Why would they give us the detonator to our own bomb?
Tonight you are all going to be part of a social experiment.
For the magic of diesel fuel and ammonium nitrate,
I am ready right now to blow you all sky high.
Liberty, come in. Over.
It's dead.
Anyone attempts to get off their boat, you all die.
I'm zeroing in.
Each of you has a remote to blow off the other boat.
The voice is on the ferry.
But it's not the source.
West!
- Gordon. - I have the Joker's location.
Prewitt Building.
Put some along the building offices.
At midnight I blow you all up.
If however one of you presses the button, I'll let that boat live.
So whose it going to be? Harvey Dent's most-wanted scum bag collection?
Or the sweet and innocent civilians? You choose.
Oh! And you might want to decide quickly because...
the people on the other boat may not be quite so noble.
Stay back!
Well who are you to decide? We ought to talk this over at least.
We don't have to die. Those men had their chance.
We are not going to talk about this.
Why aren't we talking about it?
They're talking over the same exact thing on the other boat.
Let's put it to a vote.
Hello?
Barbara. It's Anna Ramirez.
Jim needs you to pack up and put the kids in the car right away.
But the unit's outside?
Those cops can't be trusted.
Jim needs you away from them as soon as possible.
I'll call them off for ten minutes. And you'll have to move fast.
Where am I supposed to take them?
250 52nd street. Leave as soon as the patrol car pulls out.
Okay.
Did she believe you?
That's because she trusts you.
Just like Rachel did.
I didn't know...
Didn't know what they were going to do?
You're the second cop to say that to me.
What exactly did you think they were going to do?
They got me early on. My mother's hospital bills...
Don't!
I'm sorry...
You live to fight another day, office.
We found the missing hospital bus.
And we have a hostage situation.
It's a shooting gallery. Why would he choose a spot with such good windows?
We have clear shots on five clowns. The snipers take them out, smash the windows,
A team repels in, a team moves in by the stairwells.
Two, three casualties max.
Let's do it.
It's not that simple.
With the Joker it never is.
What's simple is that every second we don't take in those people on the ferries get closer to blowing each other up
That won't happen.
Then he'll blow both of them up!
We don't have time for paper.
I want everybody to put their votes on this piece of paper.
If anyone's got a pen pass it along.
We need to get the votes in quickly.
I need five minutes alone.
No! There's no time!
We have clear shots! Dent is in there with them. We have to save Dent.
I have to save Dent!
Two minutes. Then we rush.
Fox, I need picture.
- Hello? Jim, we're in trouble!
Okay. We got POV on alpha. Unveiling beta.
It looks like clowns and hostages on 2 floors.
A SWAT team on stairwell.
Another SWAT team on the roof.
Barbara, calm down!
He has the kids!
Hello Jim.
Harvey, where's my family?
Where my family died.
Blue Team, acquire the target.
Fox, the SWAT's targeting the wrong people! The clowns are the hostages!
Red Team go!
Don't move.
Take the shot!
Those SWATs are coming in hard.
Clown, put down your gun!
Doctors get down, clear the line of fire!
Freeze!
You see those bad guys on the floor above?
They're waiting for help with the SWAT team coming up the elevator.
60 seconds.
The tally is 140 against, 396 for.
So go ahead, do it!
We're still here.
That means, they haven't killed us either.
Trouble on the floor above.
Freeze! Or we will shot!
We got him, he's out of the game.
Step away from the edge!
Don't move!
Ah, you made it! I'm so thrilled.
Where's the detonator?
- Go get him!
You don't want to die, but you don't know how to take a life.
Give it to me. That man will kill you and take it anyway.
Noone wants to get their hands dirty.
Fine, I'll do it.
Those men on that boat. They made their choices. They chose to murder and steal.
It doesn't make any sense for us to have to die too.
Oh the old familiar places!
Hostages are safe.
Give it to me.
You can tell I took it by force.
Give it to me and I'll do what you should have did 10 minutes ago.
We really should stop this fighting. Otherwise, we'll miss the fireworks!
- There won't be any fireworks. - And here…we…go!
What were you trying to prove? That deep down, everyone's as ugly as you are?
You're alone!
You can't rely on anyone these days, you got to do everything yourself, don't we?
That's okay. I came prepared.
It's a funny world that we live in
speaking of which, you know how I got these scars?
No, but I know how you got these!
Ugh, you. You just couldn't let me go, could you?
This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
You…truly are…incorruptible, aren't you, huh?
You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness.
And I won't kill you… because you're just too much fun!
I think you and I are destined to do this forever.
You'll be in a padded cell forever.
Maybe we could share one!
You know, they'll be doubling up the rate this city's inhabitants are losing their minds.
This city just showed you that it's full of people ready to believe in good.
Until their spirit breaks completely!
Until they get a good look at the real Harvey Dent
and all the heroic things he's done.
You didn't think I'd risk losing the battle
for Gotham's soul in a fist fight with you?
No. You need an ace in the hole. Mine's Harvey.
What did you do?
I took Gotham's "White Knight" and I… brought him down to our level.
It wasn't hard. You see, madness, as you know, is like gravity.
All it takes is a little push!
This is where they brought her, Gordon… after your men handed her over.
This is where she died.
I know I was here, trying to save her.
But you didn't.
- I couldn't. - Yes, you could have, if you'd listened to me.
If you stood up against corruption.
Instead of doing your deal with the devil.
I was trying to fight the mob!
You wouldn't dare try to justify yourself if you knew what I'd loss.
Have you ever had to talk to the person you loved most,...
...tell them it's gonna be alright? When you know it's not.
Well, you're about to know what that feels like, Gordon.
Then, you can look me in the eye and tell me you're sorry.
- You're not going to hurt my family. - No, just the person you love most.
So, is it your wife?
Put the gun down, Harvey. Harvey put down the gun.
Please. Please, Harvey. Please.
Dammit, will you stop pointing that gun at my family?
We have a winner...
- No Jimmy, stop him! - Harvey!
Harvey! I'm sorry...
...for everything.
Please don't hurt my son.
You brought your cops?
All they know is there's a situation.
They don't know who or what. They're just creating a perimeter.
You think I want to escape from this?
There is no escape from this.
You don't wanna hurt the boy, Harvey.
It's not about what I want, it's about what's fair!
You thought we could be decent man in an indecent time.
Well, you were wrong.
The world is cruel and the only morality in a cruel world is chance.
Unbiased, unprejudice, fair.
His son's got the same chance she had.
50:50.
What happened to Rachel wasn't chance?
We decided to act, we three.
Then, why was it me who was the only one who lost everything?
It wasn't.
The Joker chose me!
Because you were the best of us.
He wanted to prove that even someone as good as you could fall.
Then, he was right.
You're the one pointing the gun, Harvey.
So, point it at the people responsible.
Fair enough.
You first.
My turn.
Harvey, wait. Rachel's death was my fault.
Please don't punish the boy.
Please punish me.
Tell your boy it's gonna be alright, Gordon.
Lie. Like I lied.
It's going to be alright, son.
Dad, is he okay?
Thank you.
You don't have to thank me.
Yes, I do.
The Joker won.
Harvey's prosecution, everything he fought for, undone.
Whatever chance you got is of fixing our city,...
...dies with Harvey's reputation.
We bet it all on him.
The Joker took the best of us and tore him down.
People will lose hope.
They won't.
They must never know what he did.
Five dead, two of them cops?
You can't sweep that out.
But The Joker cannot win.
Gotham needs its true hero.
- No. - You either die a hero,...
...or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
I could do those things because I'm not a hero, unlike Dean.
I killed those people, that's what I could be.
No, no you can't! You're not!
Of whatever Gotham needs me to be.
Call it in.
A hero. Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed.
Nothing less than a knight, shining.
- They'll hunt you. - You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me.
Set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen.
Because sometimes, truth isn't good enough.
Sometimes people deserve more.
Sometimes, people deserve to have their faith rewarded.
Batman! Batman!
Why's he running, dad?
Because we have to chase him.
We're going in! Go, go, move!
He didn't do anything wrong.
Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now.
So we'll hunt him, because he can take it.
Because he's not a hero.
He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector.
A dark knight.
