Oh, God. It was... It was so scary, I felt it.
It was just a dream.
Okay. Just... Just breathe like we practiced, okay?
(BOTH INHALING AND EXHALING)
Good girl.
It's okay. Everything's gonna be okay.

AMY: Detective Grayson? Amy Rohrbach.
Transfer from Oakland.
I'm your new partner.
Right. The Captain mentioned.
It's a pleasure.
I read your file.
You seem to know what you're doing.
You keep doing your thing, I'll keep doing my thing. We'll be good.
WOLF: Don't take it personally.
AMY: I need a breath mint or something?
He's been pushing off getting a partner since he got here a month ago.
Some shit about his last one or something.
He's from Gotham. Likes to work alone.
Gotham?
Jesus...
What happened to his last partner?
- Gassed by The Joker. Who knows? -(CHUCKLES)

You forgot to get everything.
Okay. (SIGHS)
I'm late.
MELISSA: Can you take the bus to school again today?
Sure.
Okay.
You never sleep anymore.
No, not often.
It's because you're scared of me.
(CHUCKLES) I am not scared of you, honey.
I can tell when you're lying.
I can feel it. You know I can.
(SIGHS)
Pray with me.
No, no. Talk with me.
What's inside of me? What is it?
Rachel, just please pray with me. Please!
- Our father who art in... - No more praying.
No more lying. Tell me what you're not, Mom!
(SNARLS) Tell me!
I'm sorry, Mama.
It's okay, baby!
- Rachel! - I'm gonna miss the bus.
Rachel!
MAN: Hey, kid. You tell your mother
that screaming keeps us up all hours of the night,
I'm calling the police again.
You hear me? I don't care about your emotional issues!
Weirdo.
Boo!
Come on. What are you hiding from?
You don't have to be shy with me.
I like freaks.
Leave her alone, Kyle.
Don't you have a touchdown or something to throw, Matt?
Just leave her alone, asshole.
Before I make you.
Maybe you should take a seat.
Take a seat.

Disappeared, they said.
They thought he might be dead.
Why come here? Why Detroit?
- The weather? - (CHUCKLING)
Let's just hope to hell he's just passing through.
You know the problems that these masks bring with 'em.
Painted freaks. Psychopaths in drag.
We don't need that shit. We got enough of our own regular problems here.

My name is Sally. I work here.
First, I don't need to know who you are,
or how you got here, okay?
What I really care about is keeping girls your age off the streets.
Or out of the adult shelters which aren't much better.
There's a youth shelter, a few blocks from here.
They'll have a bed for you. No questions asked.
Shortcut.
SALLY: I grew up here in the city.
I've lived here since I was your age.
(MICE SQUEAKING)
On the streets, too.
Shelters saved my life.

Hey, uh, any luck on that Robin thing?
Wait, are you talking to me?
Is everybody else dead?
Because I clearly must be the last person on Earth for that to happen.
(DOOR OPENS)
I guess I haven't been the most welcoming.
Hey, Grayson.
You got that thing for helping kids, right?
Hi, there. How you doing?
Word on the street is you like playing baseball with bricks and cop cars.
I am Detective Dick Grayson.
You wanna talk about what happened?
It's you.
- I'm not sure if you... - You're the boy from the circus.
Please. Can you help me?

People were happy that night.
What the hell is this?
You, most of all.
Your parents...
I watched them fall.
You kept wishing it was a dream.
Wishing you would wake up.
Who put you up to this?
Everything led me here.
To you.
It can't be by accident.
You've got to help me. I don't know how...
You want help? So you throw a brick at a cop car?
You don't understand...
- Okay, make me understand. - Someone killed my mom!
Okay. Name, address.
(SNIFFLES)
She was all I had.
The only person in the world who cared for me.
I am alone now.
DICK: I want to help you.
(GASPS)
- Listen, I'm gonna check this out, okay? - Don't leave me here.
Rachel, you vandalized a police car.
- You're not going anywhere. - You don't understand.
You need to lock me up. Please.
There is something inside of me.
Something evil.
I can't give you the kind of help you need.
I will find someone who can.
Don't leave me here.
Look, I'm sorry. I really am.
Hey, so, she's saying her mom was killed.
If you could send someone down there, that'll be great.
OFFICER JONES: Okay, I'll call you if anything checks out.
Thanks.
It's probably bullshit though.
Kids down there livin' on the street stealing...
- REPORTER: The Mayor has... - They'll say anything to get out of trouble.
...released a warrant demanding the crime fighting vigilante known as Robin...
Yeah, I know.
...to leave Detroit immediately.

AMY: Hey, can I ask you something?
I'm kind of in the middle of something.
So, what? You and your sidekick go bad?
I'm sorry?
Your partner at Gotham P.D.
I mean, I'm no mind reader, it just seems kinda obvious.
I guess we had different ideas of how to do the job.
How's that? He on the take?
I heard most of Gotham is.
No, not him.
He was a hero to a lot of people.
Including me.
A stop-at-nothing guy who solved everything with his fists.
I admired him at first, what he did...
Or was trying to do.
But eventually, I had to walk away.
AMY: Why?
Because I was becoming too much like him.
So, you're not really, huh?
What?
An asshole.
(CHUCKLES)
Don't tell. It will kill my rep.
(LAUGHS) Yeah. Well, your secret's safe with me.
OFFICER: Hey, there.
We're gonna transfer you.
We'll be putting you in with the other kids.
It will be safer for you there.
It's okay. Bring your bag.
OFFICER: Right this way.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Grayson.
This is Officer Jones. Traverse City P.D.
- Mm-hmm. - Girl you called in about, Rachel Roth?
We found her mother. Gunshot to the head. Looks like a homicide.
I'll have our C.S.I. send you the details as we get them.
Okay, thanks.

I don't know.
I woke up in a car and these men were trying to kill me...

This dirty room is a church.
I appear the villain but in truth, I am the savior.
You...
You pose as the innocent, but deep inside...
You know you're fecund and damned.
You have the skin of the lamb.
The sheath by which he will penetrate this world,
and seed its destruction.
But alas, you are the doorway
he would walk through upright to put out our sun, and I...
Cannot allow that to happen.
I have to save us all.
