Rachel, Let me see
Can I see? -Finders, keepers and I found it
In my garden.
Finders Keepers
Bruce...
Mom, Dr. Alfred!!
You have dream?
Nightmare
Why thoust in this place?
Again? Hes going to kill you.
You're going to kill me before breakfast?
You are in hell, littleman
And I am the devil
You're not the devil, you're practice
Sanitary! -Why?
For protection. -I dont need protection!
Protection for them.
Are you so desperate to fight criminals that you lock yourself in to take them on one at a time
Actually, there were seven of them.
I counted six, Mr. Wayne
How do you know my name
The world is too small for someone like Bruce Wayne to disappear no matter how deep he sinks
Who are you? My name is Merely Doucart
but I speak for Iran's Algore
the man greatly feared by the criminal underworld.
the man who can offer you a path
What makes you think i need a path
Someone like you was not here by choice
whos been exploring the criminal fraternity but whatever your original intentions
you have become truly lost
What kind of path can Razulgoul offer?
The path of the man who shares his hatred of evil
who wishes to serve true justice
the path of the league of shadows
the vigilantees
nonono, the vigilantes is just a man who lost
and is scrambled for his own gratifications
he can be destroyed, locked up,
but if you make yourself more than just a man
if you devote yourself to an ideal
And if they cant stop you
then you become something else entirely
which is?
Legend, Mr. Wayne
Tomorrow you will be released
If you are bored of brawling with petty thieves and want to achieve something
there is a way up the flower
that grows on the eastern flows. Pick one of these flowers
If you can carry it up to the top of the mountain
you may find what you're looking for in the first place
And what was i looking for
Only you can know that
Some things will grow back
Razalgoul
Wait...
What are you seeking
I seek
the means to fight justice
to turn fear against those who prey on the fearful
Naar subjulgar de angsten van de anderen
to manipulate the fear on others
you must first master your own
Are you ready to begin? -I can barely stand
Death does not wait for you to be ready! Death does not considerate at all fairly
And make no mistake, here you'll face death
This is not a dance
And you are afraid
Not of me
Tell us, Mr. Wayne
What do you fear
Bruce...
It's okay.
Its okay, you'll be okay.
Will we be needing an ambulance, Master Wayne
Ill set the bone and take him for an xray later
Very good, sir
Im very sorry sir -Dont worry, its fine...
Took quite a fall, didnt we, master bruce
and why do we fall bruce, so we can learn to pick ourselves up
the bats again?
you know why they attacked you, dont you
they were afraid of you -Afraid of me?
All creatures feel fear -Even the scary ones?
Especially the scary ones.
i've got something to show u
You think your mother will like it?
Yeah.
Then its time to get up. -Maybe... And dont wet the bed.
Did you build this train, dad?
Gotham's been good to our family
but the city's been suffering.
People less fortunate than us have been enduring very hard times
So we built a new cheap public transportation system to unite the city
And at the centre, Wayne Tower
Is that where you work?
Nooo, I work at the hospital. I leave the running of our company to much better men
Better? -Well...
more interested men.
I want to go
Please...
Okay, let's go.
What's wrong, Bruce? No no, it was me. I just needed some fresh air.
A little bit of opera goes a long way.
Right, Bruce?
Cmon, Let's go.
Wallet, jewlery, fast!!
That's fine, just take it easy.
Take it easy...
Here you go.
Its fine
Now just take it and go
I said jewlery -Hey!
Bruce...
Is this your father's?
It's ok...
Come here
Put this on
here you go.
It's ok
Gordon...
Hey, good news
We got him, son.
You're in excellent hands.
We'll be watching the empire. When you grow up, we'll be waiting for you.
I might prepare a little supper.
Very well... -Alfred!
Yes, Master Bruce It was my fault, Alfred!
I made them leave the theater, -nonono.. if i haven't gotten scared
It was nothing that you did...
It was him and him alone
You understand?
I miss him Alfred. I miss him so much.
So do I, Master Bruce.
So do I...
Do you still feel responsible for your parents' death?
My anger awaits my guilt.
Come.
You have learnt to bury your guilt with anger
And I will teach you to confront it and to face the truth.
You know how to fight six men, we can teach you how to engage 600.
You know how to disappear, we can teach you to become truly
Invisible
Ninjas understand that invisibility is a matter of patience and agility.
Always mind your surroundings
Ninjitsu employs explosive powders
As weapons or distractions.
...deception of powerful agents.
You must become more just a man in the mind of your opponent
Who is he? -He was a farmer who tried to take his neighbour's land
and become a murderer. Now he is a prisoner.
What happened to him? -Justice, crime cannot be tolerated.
Criminials thrive on the indulgence of society's understanding.
Your parent's death was not your fault...
It was your father's.
Anger does not change the fact that your father failed to act
The man had a gun. -Did that stop you?
But the training. The training is up!
The will to act..
Yield... -You haven't beaten me, your sacrifice sure footing for a killing stroke.
Rub your chest.
Your arms will take care of themselves.
You're stronger than your father.
You didnt know my father.
I know the rage that drives you
that impossible anger strangling the grief until the memory of your loved ones
just wisem in your veins.
Then one day you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed
so you'll be spared your pain.
I wasn't always here in the mountains..
once i had a wife
a great love
but she was taken from me
But you must learn that those without decency must be fought without hesistation or pity
Your anger gives you great power
but if you let it, it will destroy you.
As it almost did me.
What stopped it?
Vengeance.
That's no help to me.
Why, Bruce? Why could you not avenge your parents
Will you be heading back to Princeton..
after the hearing, sir?
or can i persuade you to stay on for a day or two?
I'm not heading back at all.
You dont like it there?
I like it fine, I just dont feel the same way.
I prepared the master bedroom.
No, my room will be fine.
With all due respect sir, wenmanner is your house.
No Alfred, it's my father's house.
Your father is dead now
This place is a mosoleane, if you have my will, pull the damn thing downbrick by brick.
This house, Master Wayne has showed six generations of your family
Why did you give a damn, Alfred?! It's not your family.
I give a damn because a good man once made me responsible for..
what was most precious to him in our world.
Ms. Doores has offered to drive you to the hearing.
She probably hopes to talk you out of going.
Should I just bury the past out there with my parents, Alfred?
I wouldn't presume to tell you what to do with your past, sir.
Just know that there are those of us who care about what you do with your future.
You haven't given up on me yet.
Never
Alfred still keeps the condensed milk from the top shelf.
cause he noticed you're tall enough to reach now.
old havest thy heart, I guess.
Never used to stop us anyways
No, it didn't. How's your mom?
She misses this place. So do I...
Yea... but it's not what others emitted it was
Now there's only Alfred. -And you?
I'm not staying Rachel. -You're just back for the hearing.
Bruce, I don't suppose there's any way to convince you not to come
...this proceeding to stand for my parents.
We all loved your parents Bruce
What he did was unforgivable.
Then why is your boss letting him go?
In prison he shared a cell with Carmifel Coni. He learned things and he will testify in exchange for early parole.
Rachel, this man killed my parents.
I cannot let that pass and I need you to understand that please.
Okay.
The depression he had working people like Mr. Chilhardsavall
his crime was appalling yes.. but it was motivated not by greed but by desperation
and given the 14 years already served
as well as his extraordinary level of cooperation
as one of the most important investigations
we strongly endorse his petition for early release.
Mr. Chill...
Your honor..
Not a day goes by that I don't wish I could take back what I did
Sure I was desperate like a lot of people back then
but that don't change what I did
I gather there is a member of the Wayne family here today Does he have anything to say?
C'mon Bruce. We don't need to see this.
I do.
The DA couldn't understand why Judge Faden insisted on making the hearing public
Falconi paid him off to get Chill out in the open.
Maybe I should be thanking him. -You don't mean that -What if i do, Rachel?
- My parents deserve justice. - You're not talking about justice.
- You're talking about revenge - See, sometimes they're the same.
No, they're never the same, Bruce. Justice is about harmony..
Revenge is about you making yourself feel better
which is why we have an impartial system.
Your system is broken.
You care about justice?
Look me on your own pain, Bruce
This city is rotting, they talk about the depression,
as if it's history and it's not.
things are worse than ever down here.
Falconi floods our streets with crime and drugs praying on the desperate, creating new
chills everyday. And if Falconi may not have killed your parents, Bruce...
He's destroying everything that they stood for.
You want to thank them for that? Here you go
We all know where to find them
and as long as he keeps the bad people rich, and the good people scared
No one will touch him. Good people like your parents
will stand against this injustice they're gone.
What chance does Gotham have when the good people do nothing?
I'm not one of your good people, Rachel.
What do you mean?
All these years I wanted to kill him, now I cant.
Your father would be ashamed of you.
You're taller than you look in the tabloids, Mr. Wayne.
No gun? Im insulted.
You could've just sent a thank you note. -I didn't come here to thank you
I came here to show you not everyone in Gotham is afraid of you.
Only those who know me, kid.
Look around you, you see two counselmen, union official
couple off-duty cops, and a judge.
Now I would'nt have a second's hesistation of blowing your head off right here and right now in front of them.
Now that's power you can't buy. That's the power of fear.
I'm not afraid of you. -Because you think you got nothing to lose.
but you haven't thought it through! You haven't thought about your ladyfriend down at the DA's office
You haven't thought about your own bucky, BANG!!
The people from your world have so much to lose.
Now you think because your mommy and daddy got shot
You know about the ugly side of life, but you don't
You've never tasted desperate, you're Bruce Wayne, the Prince of Gotham
you'll have to go 1000 miles to meet someone who didn't know your name.
so dont come down here with your anger.
trying to prove something to yourself. This is a world you'll never understand.
And you'll always fear what you don't understand.
Alright.
Yea, you got spirit kid, I'll give you that.
More than your old man, anyway.
Chill told me about the night he killed your parents. They said your father begged for mercy.
begged like a dog.
Uwash (some good material). -Your jacket. - Okay.
hey hey hey, letting me have a nice coat. -Be careful if he sees you with that.
They're going to come looking for me. -Who?
Everyone.
It's a nice coat.
When you lived among the criminals, did you start to pity them?
First time I stole so that I wouldn't starve
yet I lost many assumptions about the simple nature of right and wrong
And when I travelled, I learned fear before crime.
And the thrill of success.
But I never became one of them.
Fool, why the hell would I care what your name is.
You're a criminal. -.. Tell that to the officials.
You've travelled the world to understand the criminal mind
and conquer your fears.
But the criminal is not complicated.
What you really fear, is inside yourself.
You fear your own power and fear your anger.
that drives to great and more terrible things.
You are ready.
Breathe...
Breathe....
Breathe in your fears...
Face them.
To conquer fear, you must become fear
you must bask in the fear of other men.
And men fear most what they cannot see..
You have to become a terrible thought
a wraith.
You have become an idea.
I fear your terror cloud your senses
Feel its power to distort.
to control
And know that this power can be yours.
Embrace your worst fears.
Become one with the darkness.
Focus, focus!!
I... your senses
You cannot leave any sign. -There.
Impressive.
We have fires to fear.
You are ready to lead these men.
You are ready to become a member of the League of Shadows
But first you must demonstrate your committment to justice.
No.
I'm no executioner.
Your compassion is a weakness your enemies will not share.
That's why it's so important.
It separates us from them.-You want to fight criminals. This man is a murderer.
This man should be tried. -By whom?
Corrupt bureaucrats? Criminals mock societies' laws.
You know this better than most.
You cannot lead these men unless you are prepared to do what is necessary to defeat evil.
And where would I be leading these men?
Gotham.
You will be ideally placed to strike up the heart of criminality
How?
Gotham's time has come
The city has become a breeding ground for suffering and injustice.
It is beyond saving and must be allowed to die.
This is the most important function of the League of Shadows
It is one we performed for centuries.
Gotham must be destroyed.
You can't believe in this? RazAlgoul rescued us from the darkest corner of our own huts
What he asks in return is the courage to do what is necessary.
I will go back to Gotham and I will fight men like this. But I will not become an executioner.
Bruce please, for your own sake, there is no turning back.
What are you doing? -It is necessary, my friend.
I will tell him you save his life.
Master Wayne, you've been gone a long time. -Yes I have.
You look very fashionable.
Will you be coming back to Gotham for long, sir?
As long as it takes.
I'm going to show the people that Gotham city...
doesn't belong to the criminals and the corrupt.
In the depression, your father nearly bankrupted Wayne enterprises combatting poverty.
He believed that his example could inspire the wealthy of Gotham to save their city.
Did it? -In a way
Then murder shocked the wealthy and powerful into action.
People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy
and I can't do that as Bruce Wayne.
As a man, in flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed.
But as a symbol
As a symbol, I can be incorruptible
I could be everlasting -What symbol?
Something... elemental, something terrifying.
I assume that as you're taking on the underworld, this symbol is a persona to protect those you care about from reprisals
You thinkinig about Rachel? Echt Dhr, I saved her myself....
Have you told anyone I'm coming back? -I just couldn't figure
the legal remifications of bringing you back from the dead. -Dead?
You've been gone seven years -You had me declared dead?
Well actually, it was Mr.Earl He's taking the company public.
He wanted to liquidate your majority shareholding.
Those shares are worth quite a bit of money.
Well it's a good thing I left everything to you then.
Quite so, sir.
And you could borrow the Rolls if you'd like, just bring it back with a full tank.
In my opinion, Mr. Saz is as much as a danger to himself as to others.
And prison is probably not
the best environment for his rehabilitation.
Dr. Klein
Ah, Miss Dovace
You really think a man who buthers people for the mob doesn't belong in jail.
Well, apparently he testified that
This is the third of Karmine Falcony's thugs you've had to declare insane and moved into your asylum.
The work offered by the organized crime must have an attraction to the insane.
Or the corrupt.
Mr. Finch.
I think you should check with Miss Doce here just what implications your office is authorized here to make... if any.
- What are you doing, Rachel? - What are you doing, Carl?
Looking out for you.
Falconi is half the city.
bought and paid for, drop it! How can you say that?
As much as I care about getting Falconi.
I care more about you.
That's sweet...
We've been through all that.
It's actually the batgates..
They nest somewhere in the grounds.
No more favors, someone is sitting around.
Hey, I scratch your back.
you scratch mine, Doc.
I'm bringing in the shipments.
We're paying you for that. -Maybe money isn't as interesting to me as favors.
I am more than aware you are not intimidated by me, Mr. Falconi.
But you know who I'm working for.
And when he gets here...
He's coming to Gotham?
Yes he is.
And when he gets here, he's not going to want to hear
that you have endangered our operations just to get your little thugs out of a little jail time.
Who's bothering you?
There's a girl at the DA's office.
We'll buy her off.
Not this one.
Idealist, huh?
Well, there's an answer to that too.
I don't want to know. -Yes you do.
No, we are showing very healthy growth in these sectors. -Not only... way would have viewed heavy arms
...manufacturer's as a suitable cornerstone for our business
That's 20 years ago, Frederick's.
I think after 20 years, we can allow ourselves to stop thinking about what Thomas Wayne would've done
Good morning, Mr. Earl's office.
Oh yes, he's confirmed for the dinner tomorrow evening.
Good morning.
I'm here to see Mr. Earl.
Name?
Uh, Bruce Wayne.
Thomas would have probably not taken the company public
but that is what we, as responsible managers, are going to do.
Jessica,
Jessica?
Where are you?
Eye on the ball...
Why is no one answering the phone?
It's Wayne Enterprises, Mr. Earl. I'm sure they'll call back.
Bruce?
You're supposed to be dead. -Sorry to disappoint.
I need you to take a look at this.
Have you seen him, yet? -Who?
Wayne, it's all over the news.
He's back.
I'm sure you realize I can't stop
the big machine, too many wheels turning. Oh, we're going public.
I understand.. and I'll be handsomely rewarded for my shares
I'm not looking to interfere.
I am looking for a job. -Oh?
I just want to get to know the company that my family built.
Any ideas where you would start?
Applied Sciences
caught my eye.
Fox department
I'll let them know you're coming.
You look like him, him,
your dad. You're the only one left
in the Wayne family.
This is where you belong. Welcome home.
Environmental procedures, defence projects, consumer products
all prototypes.
none in production, on any level whatsoever? -None?
What did they tell you this place was? -They didn't tell me anything.
They all told me exactly what it was when they sent me down here.
Dead end.
-A place to keep me from causing the board any more trouble.
C'mon.
You were on the board?
When your father ran things -You knew my father?
O yea.
I helped him built his train.
Ah here we are.
Kevlar utitlity harness
Gas power magnetic grapple gun with 350 lbs of .. filment
...project, if you ask me.
...right into the Wayne tower.
Along with the water and power utilities.
Kind of made Wayne tower the unofficial centre of Gotham city.
Of course Earl haven't thought of a... Here we are.
..mix survival suit for advanced infantry
kevlar..., reinforced joints.
Tear resistant? this suckle will stop a knife.
Bulletproof? Anything but a sprayed shot
Why didn't they put it into production?
.... didn't think a soldier's life was worth 3 hundred grand.
So what's your interest in it, Mr. Wayne?
I want to borrow it.
For uh, spelunking
Spelunking?
Yeah, you know cave diving?
You expecting.. a bunch of gunfire these days?
Look, I rather Mr. Earl didn't know about me borrowing.
Mr. Wayne, the way i see it, all this stuff is yours anyway.
Give it a try.
Charming.
At least you're like Catholic.
This must be the lowest foundation of the south-east wing.
In the civil war, your great-great grandfather was involved
in the underground railroad secretly transporting
free slaves to the North and I expect these cabins came in handy.
Alfred, come up here! -I can see everything alright from down here, sir.
Thank you very much
We ordered a main part of this.. from Singapore
By a dummy corporation... -Indeed, and then quite separately we place an order
...to a Chinese company for these.
Put it together ourselves. -Precisely. There'll have to be
a large order, sir, to avoid suspicion.
How much? say, uh $10 000?
Well at least we'll have spares. -Yes..
Don't suppose you want a taste, just keep offering, say that maybe some day
you'll get wise.
There's nothing wise in what you do, Fless -What Jimbo, you don't take the taste... makes us guys nervous.
I'm no rat.
In a town this bent, whos there to rat to anyway?
Don't turn around.
You're a good cop
one of the few.
What do you want?
Carmine Falconi brings a shipment of drugs every week. Nobody takes it down. Why?
He's paid up with the right people.
What will it take to bring him down?
...judge, Judge Faden
and the DA right enough to prosecute.
Rachel Doce.
Who are you?
Watch for my sign.
You're just one man?
Now we're two.
We?
Freeze!
What the hell was that?
Just some nut.
Well what is it today?
More spelunking? No..
Today's base jumping
Base jumping?
Is that like parachuting? -Kind of.
Do you have any light-weight fabrics?
You know, I got just the thing.
It's called memory cloth, notice anything?
Regularly flexible.
But put a current through it, molecules realign
and become rigid.
What kind of shapes can you make? -Can be tailored to fit any structure based on a rigid skeleton.
Too expensive for the army?
Nah I dont think they will market it to the billionaire Spelonking.
Look, Mr. Fox... if you're uncomfortable
Mr. Wayne, if you don't want to tell me exactly what you're doing
when I'm asked, I don't have to lie.
but don't think of me as an idiot.
Fair enough.
What's that?
The Tumbler.
Oh you wouldn't be interested in that.
She was built as a Frederick vehicle
During combat, 2 of these would jump over a river when no one came
Over here are the throttle, flip the opener, and throttle up is what will boost you into a ramper jump
I like that. -We never could get the damn bridge to work but this baby works just fine
Whoo..
So what do you think?
Does it come in black?
I need you at the docks, Thursday.
No problem.
I don't want any trouble with the last shipment . -Sure.
Word on the street is you got beef with someone in the DA's office
Is that right? And the fat prize waiting for anybody willing to do anything about it
So what's your point, Mr. Flace
Have you seen the girl? ...little Assistant DA
Don't you think it's a little bit too much heat to bring down, maybe?
Even for this town.
Never underestimate Gotham City. People get mugged coming home from work everyday
...of the week. Sometimes, sometimes, things just go bad.
Problem with the graphite, sir The next 10000 will be our reservations.
At least they gave us a discount.
Quite. In the meantime, sir, might I suggest you to try to avoid landing on your head?
Why bats, Master Wayne? -Bats frighten me.
It's time my enemy share my dread.
What is this?
Continue.
You sure you don't want to come?
I have to get back.
I just wanted to leave this.
Thank you. -Rachel?!
Looks like someone's been burning the candle on both ends.
Must have been quite an occasion. -It is my birthday.
I know.
I'm sorry I can't come tonight. I was just dropping off your present.
You got better plans? -My boss has been missing for two days.
which in this town means, that I should probably start by looking at the bottom of the river.
Rachel... -Excuse me.
Rachel Doce
Who authorized that? Get Crane down there right now.
Do not take no as an answer.
Call Dr. Liman.
Tell him we need our own assessment on the judge by morning .
What's wrong?
It's Falconi. Dr. Crane moved him to Arcane asylum on suicide watch.
You're going to Arcane now? It's in the narrows, Rachel. -You enjoy your party, Bruce.
Some of us have work to do.
You be careful.
Happy birthday.
Master Wayne, the guests will be arriving. -Keep them happy until I arrive.
Tell them that joke you know.
Having fun?
Bill? What's a big shot like you doing in a place like this?
I need some information on Wayne Enterprise.
47b-1 ME.
1 ME, hmm, ...it was designed to vaporize an enemy's water supply
Rumors was they tested it dispersing in the waterbase base chemical agents into the air but...
isn't that illegal?
Now I want all the information...
on the development of this project. All data, files, backup discs on my desk right away.
Did you lose one?
I'm merging your department with archives
and then I'm firing you.
Didn't you get the memo?
Scarecrow!
He's here, Dr. Crane.
Miss Doce.
This is most irregular. I have nothing further to add to the report
I filed to the judge.
I have questions about your report -Such as? -Isn't it convenient for a 52 year old man who has no history of..
..mental illness to suddenly have complete psychotic
breakdown just when about he is to be indicted.
Well as you can see for yourself, there is nothing "convenient" about his symptons.
What's scarecrow
Patient suffering delusional episodes often focus their paranoia on an external tormentor.
Usually one conformity to union archetypes.
In this case, a scarecrow
He's drugged?
Psychopharmacology is my primary fondue
.......strong advocate.... outside he was a jide...
In here, only the mind can grant you power.
Enjoy the reversal.
I respect the mind's power over the body. It's why I do what I do.
I do what I do to keep thugs like Falconi before bars, not in therapy.
I want my own psychiatric consultant to have full access
to Falconi
including bloodwork.
So I know exactly what you put him on.
First thing tomorrow, m'am.
Tonight, I've already paged Dr.... county general
As you wish.
This way please.
There's something I think you should see.
This is where we make the medicine.
Perhaps you should have some.
Clear your head.
He's here.
Who?
the Batman...
What do we do? -What anyone does when
a prawler comes around.
Call the police.
You want the cops here?
At this point they can't stop us, but the Batman...
has a talent for disruption. Force him outside.
The police will take him down. Go..
What about her? -..I gave her a concentrated dose
The mind can only take so much. Now go..
The things they say about him.
Can he really fly?
I heard he can disappear.
Well, we'll find out. Won't we?
Taste of your own medicine, Doctor?
What have you been doing here?
Who are you working for?
Raz.. Razalgoul
Razalgoul is dead. Who are you working for?
Dr. Crane isn't here right now
But if you'd like to make an appointment...
Batman, put down your weapons right now.
You're surrounded.
What are you waiting for? -Backup.
Backup? -The Batman's in there. SWAT's on the way.
But if you want to go in now, I'll be right behind you, sir.
SWAT's on the way...
What's happened to her?
Creep poisoined her with a psychotrophic hallucinogen
A panic-inducing toxin.
We get her out to the medics.
They can't help her..
but I can.
Go downstairs, meet me in the alley on the narrowside.
Crane's been smuggling his toxings hidden inside...
...Falconi's trucks...
...and they're dumping it into the water supply.
What? What was he planning? -I don't know.
Was he working for Falconi? -He went to someone else,
someone worse.
I need to get her the antidote before the damage becomes permanent.
How long does she have?
Not long.
What is that?
Backup...
Excuse me.
How is she?
She's fading.
We got to go.
I"ll get my car.
How about mine? -Yours?
I got to get me one of those..
He is in a vehicle. -State the colour..
It's a black...
tank...
Stay calm.
You've been poisoned.
I'm on him.
Breathe slowly.
Hold on.
What are you doing? -Shortcut.
Tank's got no way off that road.
Turn off your engines and step away from the car.
Trust me.
What.
Who is this guy?
He's on the roof.
He's flying on rooftops.
At least tell me what it looks like.
Never mind.
Got him.
Stay with me!
Rachel!
..I've got any of these croppings to the lanes -O yea.
...company, there's got to be a way of isolatating the areas
Nah you don't understand. They put it all in.
They must be in at this for weeks, Gotham's entire water supply..
Why haven't we felt the effects? -Must be a compound that has to be absorbed to the lungs.
How do you feel?
Where are we?
Why did you bring me here?
If i hadn't, your mind would now be lost.
You were poisoined.
Bruce, it's Dr. Crane -Rest, Gordon has Crane.
Is Sergeant Gordon your friend?
i don't have the luxury of friends.
I'm going to give you a sedative.
You'll wake up back at home. When you do, get these to Gordon, and Gordon alone, trust no one.
What are they? -The antidote, one for Gordon to innoculate himself, the other for mass production.
What mass production?
Cramer was just a pawn. We need to be ready.
When you told me your grandplan to saving
Gotham, the only thing that stopped me from calling the men in white-coats was when you said it wasn't about thrill-seeking.
It's not.
What would you call that?
Damn good television. -It's a miracle no one was killed.
I didnt have time to observe the rules of the road, Alfred.
You're getting lost inside this monster of yours.
I'm using this monster to help other people just like my father did.
But Thomas Wayne helping others wasn't about proving anything to anyone including himself.
It's Rachel, Alfred.
She was dying. She's downstairs sedated. I need you to take her home.
Well, we both care for Rachel, sir. But what you're doing has to be beyond that.
It can't be personal or you'll just vigilante.
Is Fox still here? -Yes sir.
We need to send these people away now. -Those are Bruce Wayne guests out there, sir.
You have a name to make.
I don't care about my name.
It's not just your name, sir.
It's your father's name
and that's all that's left of him
Don't destroy it...
Mister Earl!
It's been very pleasurous, thank you.
How did the stock offering go?
Price has soared.
Who's buying?
All kinds of funds and brokerages. It's a bit technical.
The key thing is... our company's future is secure.
A little worse for winter, I'm afraid..
What was the
plan, Crane? How are you going to get your toxin
into the air?
Scarecrow..
Who are you working for, Crane?
Oh, it's too late.
You can't stop them now.
And thank you for that item.
You're welcome. I hope you put it to good use.
I already have. How long will it take to manufacture on the large-scale?
Weeks. Why?
Someone's planning to disperse the toxins using the water supply.
That supply won't help you disperse an inhaler.
What?
unless you have a microwave emitter powerful enough to vaporize all the water in the mains
a microwave emitter like the one Wayne Enterprises just misplaced.
Misplaced?
Earl just fired me for asking too many questions about it
I need you to go back to Wayne Enterprises right now and start making more of that antidote
I think the police are going to need as much as they can get their hands on, okay?
My security clearance has been revoked.
Now that wouldn't stop a man like you now, would it?
I suppose not.
Bruce, there's somebody right here you simply must meet.
Now am I pronouncing this right? Mr Razalgoul?l
You're not Razalgoul.
I watched him die.
But is Razalgoul a mortal?
No his methods are supernatural.
What cheap parlour tricks to conceal your true identity, Raz?.
Surely a man who spends his nights scrambling on the rooftops of Gotham wouldn't be grabbling dual identities.
I saved your life. -I warned you about compassion, Bruce.
Your quarrel is with me.
You let these people go.
You are welcomed to explain the situation to them.
Everyone.
Everybody.
I, uh.. want to thank you all for coming here tonight and drinking all of my booze
No, really... There's a thing about being a Wayne that you'll never short of a few freeloaders like yourselves to fill out your manche..
so here's to you people, thank you. -That's enough
To all you phonies
all you two face friends
you sicka fantic suckups
you smile..
through your teeth at me
Please.. leave me in peace.
Please... go.
Stop smiling, it's not a joke. Please leave.
The party's over. Get out.
..falling very far from the train, Mr. Wayne
Amusing.. but pointless.
None of these people have long to live. Your antics at the asylum
have forced my hand.
So Crane was working for you, his toxin is derived from the organic compounds
found in our blue flowers
He was able to weaponize it.
He's not a member of the League of Shadows. -Of course not..
He thought our plan was to hold the city for ransom.
But really you are going to release Crame's poison on the entire city.
Then watch Gotham tear itself apart through fear.
You're going to destroy millions of lives.
Only a cynical man would call what these people have as lives, Mr. Wayne.
Crime, despair. This is not how man was supposed to live.
The League of Shadows has been a cheque against human corruption for thousands of years.
We sacked Rome, loaded tradeships with the plague rats, burned London to the ground.
Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence, we return to restore the balance.
Gotham isn't beyond saving.
Give me more time.
There are good people here.
You are defending a city so corrupt, we have infiltrated every level of its infrastructure.
Time to play.
When I found you in that jail..
you were lost, but I believed in you.
I took away your fear, and I showed you a path.
You were my greatest student
It should be you standing by my side saving the world.
i'll be standing where I belong.
between you and the people of Gotham.
No one can save Gotham.
The forest grows too wild, perching fire is inevitable and natural.
Tomorrow, the world will watch in horror as its greatest city
destroys itself
The movement back to harmony will be unstoppable this time.
You have saved Gotham before?
Of course. Over the years, our weapons have become more sophisticated.
With Gotham we tried a new one, Economics.
But we underestimated a certain of Gotham's citizens.
Such as your parents.
...by one of the very people who were trying to help.
Create enough hunger, and everyone becomes a criminal.
Their deaths galvanized the city into saving itself
And Gotham has limped on ever since.
We are back to finish the job, and this time no misguided idealists will get in the way.
Like your father, you like the courage to do all that is necessary
if someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them
and stab them in the heart.
I'm going to stop you.
You never did learn to mind your surroundings.
Justice is balance, you burnt my house and left me for dead.
Consider us even.
No one comes out, make sure.
Are they all gone? How many from maximum security?
Every one of them. Serial killers, rapists... -Get them to raise the bridges.
We don't want any getting off the island.
Yea, I'll raise the bridges once I get every available unit out here to catch the homicidal maniacs that are running loose out there!
C'mon.
I hope you're not a member of the fire brigade.
Master Wayne!
What is the point of all those pushups, if you can't even lift a bloody log!
What have I done, Alfred?
Everything my family...
my father built
The Wayne legacy is more than bricks and bones
I wanted to save Gotham
and I failed.
Why do we fall, sir?
So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.
You still haven't given up on me.
Never
Harassment..
Maybe you would like to see some excessive force!
..man with the gun.
Woah lady, we're about to raise these bridges.
I'm a Gothem City distric attorney, let me pass.
Hey Gordon, somebody's here to see you.
What are you doing here? -My mutual friend sent me with this.
Counteractive screen toxins.
Hopefully you won't need it.
Alright last one across.
I got to get you off the island before they raise the bridges. Patrolman!
I need to find my mom.
Hey!
What the hell are you doing!
Gentlemen.... time to spread the word
And the word is..
Panic.
Jesus, the pressure. It's spiking!
Right there!
That watermain is right under the narrows.
This is commissioner Lowe.
C'mon, somebody talk to me.
Paul Lowe. -This is Gordon.
What the hell is going on in there?
We need reinforcements.
Gordon, Gordon.. all the city's riot police are on the island with you.
..quickly incapicitated
It's ok, it's ok, no one's going to hurt you.
Of course they are.
Crane? -noo.. Scarecrow!
Gordon, there's nobody left to send over.
So I'm on my own?
The narrow is tearing itself to pieces.
This is just the beginning. If they hit the whole city with toxins..
there's nothing to stop Gotham from tearing itself part from mass panic
How are they going to do that?
They'll be using a train. The monorails follow the water mains
to the central hub beneath Wayne Tower
If they get their machine into Wayne station, it'll cause a chain reaction that will vaporize the entire city's water supply.
Covering Gotham in this poison. -And i'm going stop it from.. the train.
But I may need your help. -What do you need?
Can you drive stick?
Hey, there's nothing to fear, except fear itself.
Batman will save us
Don't peek..
This is Gordon, prepare to lower the bridge.
Wait.
You could die, at least tell me your name.
It's not who I am underneath..
But what I do that defines me..
Bruce...
Well, well. You took my advice about the.. bit. Literally,
It ends here. -You and the police here maybe. My fight, however...
lies with the rest of Gotham. Now if you'll..
..excuse me, I have a city to destroy.
I can beat two of your pawns.
As you wish.
Who the hell authorized this?
Christ, it's moving along the mains, blowing all the pipes
and if that pressure reaches us, the water supply running across the whole city,
is gonna blow!
You will never learn.
Demelia but you have never been you.
How bout this!!
Evacuate the building! We're right on top of the main hub.
and it's going to blow!!
Don't be afraid, Bruce.
You're just an ordinary man in a cape
That's why you couldn't fight injustice. And that's why you can't stop this train.
Who said anything about stopping it?
You've never learned to find your serenities
Have you finally learned to do what is necessary?
I won't kill you.
But I don't have to save you.
The meeting's already started.
What meeting?
Fox, I seem to remember firing you.
You did, I got another job.
Yours.
On whose authority?
Batman may have made the front page but Bruce Wayne got pushed to page 8.
Drunken Billionaire Burns Down Home.
Bruce Wayne.
What makes you think you can decide whos running Wayne Enterprises?
Oh the fact that I'm the owner.
What are you talking about?
The company went public a week ago.
And I bought most of the shares.
two various charitable foundations entrust us so forth.
Look it's all a bit technical but thee important thing
is that my company's future is secure.
Right, Mr. Fox?
Right you are, Mr. Wayne.
Didn't you get the memo?
I'm sorry I didn't tell you Rachel. -No, no Bruce...
I'm sorry.
The day that Chill died, I..
I said terrible things.
but true things..
I was a coward with a gun. Justice is about more than revenge
so... thank you.
I never stopped thinking about you.
about us. And when I heard you were back, I.. started to hope.
and then I found out about your mask.
That mask is just a symbol, Rachel.
I want this. This is your mask.
Your real face is the one that criminals now fear.
The man I loved, the man who vanished..
He never came back at all.
And maybe he's still out there somewhere
maybe someday, when Gotham no longer needs Batman
I'll see him again.
You proved me wrong, you know?
about what?
Your father would be very proud of you.
Just like me.
What will you do?
Rebuild it.
Just the way it was brick for brick.
Just the way it was, sir?
Yea, why?
Well I thought this might be a good opportunity for uh improving the foundations
in the south-east corner.
Precisely, sir.
Thanks.
I couldn't find any ...sis
Well, sergeant
Oh its Liuetenant now.
You really started something.
Bank cops runnning scared, hope on the streets.
What?
The narrow's just lost.
And we still haven't picked up Crane or half the inmates of Arcan.. free.
We will.
We can break out the bad.
What about escalation?
Escalation?
We start carrying semi-automatics, they buy automacs
We start wearing kevlar, they buy armor-piercing rounds.
Yea. -And you're wearing a mask.
And jumping off rooftops.
So take this guy.
Armed robbery, double homicide.
Got a taste for the theatrical like you.
Leaves a calling card
I'll look into it.
I never said thank you.
And you'll never have to.
