1
00:00:00,085 --> 00:00:03,130
Asking the question
on everyone's mind these days.
2
00:00:03,130 --> 00:00:05,632
What do you think about the Batman?
3
00:00:05,632 --> 00:00:09,636
That guy who beat up the cops?
I don't like him, not one bit.
4
00:00:09,636 --> 00:00:12,723
My sister and me,
we think he might be a vampire.
5
00:00:12,723 --> 00:00:15,267
Well, I say this Batman's
got a lot of moxie.
6
00:00:15,267 --> 00:00:17,644
About time someone gave
these cops a licking.
7
00:00:18,479 --> 00:00:20,689
I'm frightened. That's what I think.
8
00:00:20,689 --> 00:00:22,941
I won't go out after dark now.
9
00:00:22,941 --> 00:00:26,320
This whole city's gone to hell
in a handbasket.
10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,905
Well, he's breaking the law, ain't he?
11
00:00:27,905 --> 00:00:29,990
So they ought to catch that freak
and lock him up.
12
00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:32,951
And now, he's even attacking our brave police.
13
00:00:32,951 --> 00:00:35,412
Well, I say this will not stand.
14
00:00:35,412 --> 00:00:39,166
The people elected me
to make this a better city, a safer city,
15
00:00:39,166 --> 00:00:41,460
a city of law and order.
16
00:00:41,460 --> 00:00:44,171
So today,
I'm announcing a special taskforce
17
00:00:44,171 --> 00:00:48,091
to catch this Batman character
and bring him to justice.
18
00:00:48,091 --> 00:00:50,719
This man is not a hero. He's a criminal.
19
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:53,639
And his time in Gotham is up.
20
00:00:53,639 --> 00:00:55,390
[reporters] Mr. Mayor! Mr. Mayor!
21
00:00:55,390 --> 00:00:59,144
Hope you were listening, Gordon.
This bat's your problem now.
22
00:00:59,144 --> 00:01:01,188
And you'd better not screw it up.
23
00:01:01,188 --> 00:01:03,982
Okay, okay. One at a time, fellas.
24
00:01:03,982 --> 00:01:06,527
[melancholy music playing]
25
00:01:10,781 --> 00:01:13,450
{\an8}[theme music playing]
26
00:01:42,896 --> 00:01:44,648
[Bullock]
You gotta be kidding me, Commish.
27
00:01:44,648 --> 00:01:48,026
Me and Flass put away more crooks
than the rest of that squad combined.
28
00:01:48,026 --> 00:01:50,195
It should be us running this taskforce.
29
00:01:50,195 --> 00:01:52,614
You and your partner
are the reason for all this.
30
00:01:52,614 --> 00:01:54,825
I got Boss Thorne
taking over the Narrows,
31
00:01:54,825 --> 00:01:57,703
but I have to waste our resources
chasing a shadow
32
00:01:57,703 --> 00:02:00,038
because you got your picture in the paper.
33
00:02:00,038 --> 00:02:02,958
Sorry, Bullock.
You're not getting rewarded for that.
34
00:02:02,958 --> 00:02:06,545
But her? You really think the men
are going to take orders from that...
35
00:02:06,545 --> 00:02:10,299
I expect my men
to obey the chain of command.
36
00:02:10,299 --> 00:02:12,384
Even, you. Now, stop complaining.
37
00:02:12,384 --> 00:02:14,011
You've already made us late
for the briefing.
38
00:02:14,011 --> 00:02:17,764
And I won't say it's going to be easy,
but catching criminals is what we do.
39
00:02:17,764 --> 00:02:20,267
So this one dresses up like Dracula.
So what?
40
00:02:20,267 --> 00:02:23,103
Still a criminal,
and we're going to take him down.
41
00:02:23,103 --> 00:02:25,772
What do we know about this Batman?
Chandler?
42
00:02:25,772 --> 00:02:28,901
He's mostly been seen between ten at night
and four in the morning.
43
00:02:28,901 --> 00:02:31,695
Usually driving that hot rod of his
100 miles an hour.
44
00:02:31,695 --> 00:02:34,781
And he's been spotted
in the East End more than anywhere else.
45
00:02:34,781 --> 00:02:36,950
Yeah, he's been beating
the tar out of muggers
46
00:02:36,950 --> 00:02:39,119
and dope peddlers out there
the last few weeks.
47
00:02:39,119 --> 00:02:41,997
I still can't believe Gordon
put her in charge.
48
00:02:41,997 --> 00:02:44,917
Just bide your time.
I'll figure something.
49
00:02:44,917 --> 00:02:46,460
Okay. What else do we know?
50
00:02:46,460 --> 00:02:48,587
Well, we know he's not scared
of the police.
51
00:02:48,587 --> 00:02:52,382
Corrigan's right. The Bat put half a dozen
officers in the hospital last month.
52
00:02:52,382 --> 00:02:55,802
- Not including Flass and Bullock.
- [laughter]
53
00:02:57,012 --> 00:03:00,724
Yeah, real funny, but I still don't see
a plan here, Montoya.
54
00:03:00,724 --> 00:03:02,643
So how are you gonna
actually catch this guy?
55
00:03:02,643 --> 00:03:04,311
Well, we're gonna trap him,
56
00:03:04,311 --> 00:03:07,230
and we're going to start
by casting a wide net.
57
00:03:12,152 --> 00:03:14,488
[screams, grunts]
58
00:03:14,488 --> 00:03:18,367
Better have something in that purse,
sister, or this is getting ugly fast.

Geez! Take it easy, Driver.
61
00:03:23,747 --> 00:03:26,124
Sorry, Romy.
I was trying to make it look real.
62
00:03:26,124 --> 00:03:28,835
Well, maybe avoid
the trash cans next time.
63
00:03:28,835 --> 00:03:31,797
[sighs] So, what, we wait ten minutes
and do it again?
64
00:03:31,797 --> 00:03:34,341
[Driver] Hm... yeah.
65
00:03:35,801 --> 00:03:37,427
Keep away from me, you!
66
00:03:37,427 --> 00:03:40,055
You're only making it worse
on yourself, old man.

Help! Somebody help me!
68
00:03:42,641 --> 00:03:44,726
Oh, God! Please! No!
69
00:03:44,726 --> 00:03:46,728
He's going to kill me! Somebody help!
70
00:03:48,647 --> 00:03:50,732
No! No, wait! Please!
71
00:03:50,732 --> 00:03:55,153
Listen. Listen, guys.
I just need a few more days, please.
72
00:03:55,153 --> 00:03:58,281
That ain't up to us, pal.
Guess we gotta carve you up now.
73
00:03:58,281 --> 00:04:00,784
No, wait! Don't! No!

Hey, you can't leave us like this!
77
00:04:13,171 --> 00:04:14,923
This is command, status update.
78
00:04:14,923 --> 00:04:18,385
Command, this is Decoy One.
Negative so far.
79
00:04:18,385 --> 00:04:22,180
- Decoy Two, also negative.
- Decoy Three, we got bupkis.
80
00:04:22,180 --> 00:04:24,016
Decoy Four, status?
81
00:04:24,016 --> 00:04:27,185
Command, he was here,
but we didn't see him, exactly.
82
00:04:27,185 --> 00:04:30,147
And, uh, I think we need a fire truck.
83
00:04:30,147 --> 00:04:33,650
Damn it. We should have had men
on the rooftops, too.
84
00:04:33,650 --> 00:04:36,028
- He would've spotted them.
- Yeah, he's sharp.
85
00:04:36,028 --> 00:04:38,488
But I figure he'd respond to screaming,
no matter what.
86
00:04:38,488 --> 00:04:43,493
- So, what do we do next, boss?
- Tomorrow night, we up the stakes.

- Repeat, all units respond.

Well, hot diggity.

Switch to live ammo!

No! Look out!

Damn it! We had him!
103
00:06:16,211 --> 00:06:19,589
Well, I think it's a shame.
A shame that our current mayor
104
00:06:19,589 --> 00:06:22,926
wants to waste taxpayer money
on such an obvious political stunt.
105
00:06:22,926 --> 00:06:25,428
But worse, it turns out
his special taskforce
106
00:06:25,428 --> 00:06:28,974
isn't even up to their special task.
It's an embarrassment.
107
00:06:28,974 --> 00:06:31,518
This is why I'm running
against Mayor Jessop,
108
00:06:31,518 --> 00:06:34,813
because Gotham needs to be strong again
and safe and proud.
109
00:06:34,813 --> 00:06:37,983
And with Harvey Dent as your mayor,
you will be.

- [Jessop yelling] The freakin' front page?
112
00:06:47,367 --> 00:06:50,745
- Yes, Mr. Mayor. I saw the paper.
- So what are you doing about it?
113
00:06:50,745 --> 00:06:53,456
- Sir, we're doing every...
- Because I thought I was very clear
114
00:06:53,456 --> 00:06:56,209
that catching this masked freak
is your top priority!
115
00:06:56,209 --> 00:06:59,171
Yes, and it's got our full attention.
I have everyone out on the street.
116
00:06:59,171 --> 00:07:03,008
I want good headlines, Gordon! Wasn't that
the whole point of you in that job?
117
00:07:03,008 --> 00:07:05,886
- Good press!
- Sir, we'll catch him. I just...

All clear on 10th and Market.
121
00:07:14,352 --> 00:07:15,687
No sign of target.
122
00:07:28,450 --> 00:07:30,035
Don't move! Halt!
123
00:07:30,619 --> 00:07:31,745
Stop, damn you!

[Montoya] Wait. He was here?
127
00:07:54,267 --> 00:07:56,478
Right in the damn conference room!
128
00:07:56,478 --> 00:08:00,273
I've got the mayor breathing down our necks,
and this guy's making us look like idiots.
129
00:08:00,273 --> 00:08:03,485
We need more time.
The mayor can't expect miracles.
130
00:08:03,485 --> 00:08:05,946
Well, he does. He made that very clear.
131
00:08:05,946 --> 00:08:10,659
Look, I'm trying to change this place.
Root out the bent cops and the graft.
132
00:08:10,659 --> 00:08:12,744
But I have to stick around
to make that happen.
133
00:08:12,744 --> 00:08:14,120
He's threatening your job?
134
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,249
Not in so many words,
but I can read between the lines.
135
00:08:17,249 --> 00:08:20,085
We need to catch this Batman and fast,
136
00:08:20,085 --> 00:08:22,254
or I'm getting transferred out
to Marshall Island,
137
00:08:22,254 --> 00:08:25,006
and you go back to being treated
like the office coffee girl.
138
00:08:25,006 --> 00:08:27,801
It hasn't even been a week.
We can do this. I just...
139
00:08:27,801 --> 00:08:31,429
No. He's too smart for these tactics.
140
00:08:31,429 --> 00:08:34,849
[sighs] Renee, it's not working.
141
00:08:34,849 --> 00:08:37,102
We need to try something else.
142
00:08:37,936 --> 00:08:39,938
Okay, so he's too smart.
143
00:08:39,938 --> 00:08:43,149
Maybe we can use that,
get inside his head.
144
00:08:44,401 --> 00:08:46,903
[Dr. Quinzel] Well for starters,
he's kind of a shy boy, isn't he?
145
00:08:46,903 --> 00:08:49,155
The hit and run tactics, the mask.
146
00:08:49,155 --> 00:08:52,742
You've got to wonder,
what else is he hiding under that thing?
147
00:08:52,742 --> 00:08:56,913
Besides obvious issues with authority
and maybe a fetish or two.
148
00:08:56,913 --> 00:09:00,208
My old college professor, Dr. Crane,
would say...
149
00:09:00,208 --> 00:09:02,877
This Dr. Quinzel's interesting.
Where did you find her?
150
00:09:02,877 --> 00:09:06,965
Your daughter. They're friends.
She's one of Barbara's expert witnesses.
151
00:09:06,965 --> 00:09:09,676
- Ah. Of course she is.
- Yeah.
152
00:09:09,676 --> 00:09:13,930
Barb introduced us at our Christmas party,
and, uh, we kept in touch.
153
00:09:14,764 --> 00:09:18,852
So, why all this animosity for the police?
Where does that come from?
154
00:09:18,852 --> 00:09:22,480
Well, frankly,
I think the police are just in his way.
155
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,151
His real targets are the criminals.
He's punishing them.
156
00:09:26,151 --> 00:09:28,570
That's why he's out there
night after night.
157
00:09:28,570 --> 00:09:30,280
That's his compulsion.
158
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,658
Hey, all this head shrink mumbo-jumbo
might mean something to you, doc,
159
00:09:33,658 --> 00:09:36,703
but can you just please tell us
how to catch this guy?
160
00:09:36,703 --> 00:09:37,954
Sure.
161
00:09:37,954 --> 00:09:40,999
Batman seems to have a thing
for all these costumed creeps
162
00:09:40,999 --> 00:09:44,461
that keep popping up, right?
Maybe they remind him of himself.
163
00:09:44,461 --> 00:09:47,756
Who knows?
In any case, that's how you catch him.
164
00:09:47,756 --> 00:09:50,842
By using different bait.
You need a weirdo.
165
00:09:50,842 --> 00:09:53,720
- Bingo.
- Huh? Hey, wait up.
166
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,847
[officers chatter]
167
00:09:57,015 --> 00:10:00,310
[Flass] So, who do we got in holding?
Let's see here...
168
00:10:00,310 --> 00:10:02,854
Drunk and disorderly, no.
169
00:10:02,854 --> 00:10:04,773
Car thief, no.
170
00:10:04,773 --> 00:10:07,942
Grievous bodily harm. Oh, here we go.
171
00:10:07,942 --> 00:10:10,070
This is our man.
172
00:10:11,654 --> 00:10:14,032
Hey, Flass. You sure about this?
173
00:10:14,032 --> 00:10:17,452
You heard the lady doctor.
This is what gets to the Bat.
174
00:10:17,452 --> 00:10:20,622
Guys with weird names and bad habits.
175
00:10:20,622 --> 00:10:24,042
Okay, let's go, Firefly.
It's time to take a ride.
176
00:10:24,751 --> 00:10:27,337
Actually, it's Firebug.
177
00:10:27,337 --> 00:10:29,839
Firebug, right.
178
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:32,550
Better grab his outfit from Evidence too.
179
00:10:39,391 --> 00:10:40,725
That's one of my clients.
180
00:10:40,725 --> 00:10:43,478
- What are you doing with him?
- None of your beeswax.
181
00:10:43,478 --> 00:10:46,648
We got orders to take him
to Arkham Asylum, Miss Gordon.
182
00:10:46,648 --> 00:10:49,859
- For a psych exam, I believe it was.
- I wasn't notified.
183
00:10:49,859 --> 00:10:52,779
Probably just an oversight,
you know, red tape.
184
00:10:52,779 --> 00:10:55,281
- Anyway...
- Well, be careful with that one.
185
00:10:55,281 --> 00:10:57,700
He's more dangerous than he looks.
186
00:10:57,700 --> 00:11:01,454
- Yeah, that's what we hear.
- [car starts]
187
00:11:05,667 --> 00:11:07,669
You know,
Barbie's actually meeting me here.
188
00:11:07,669 --> 00:11:08,920
We're going to Gino's.
189
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,549
Oh, you got a table at Gino's?
You must know somebody.
190
00:11:12,549 --> 00:11:16,136
Honestly,
I know too many somebodies, Commissioner.
191
00:11:16,136 --> 00:11:20,849
- Would you like to join us, Renee?
- I would, but I'm on the clock.
192
00:11:20,849 --> 00:11:23,309
- Maybe another time?
- I'm going to hold you to that.
193
00:11:23,309 --> 00:11:25,019
Oh, here she is.
194
00:11:25,019 --> 00:11:26,646
Dad, I think you have a problem.
195
00:11:26,646 --> 00:11:29,357
Did you give Bullock and Flass orders
to transfer a prisoner?
196
00:11:29,357 --> 00:11:31,192
No. What prisoner?
197
00:11:43,288 --> 00:11:44,998
Can't you feel it?
198
00:11:44,998 --> 00:11:48,918
All of those people out there
longing for the flames,
199
00:11:48,918 --> 00:11:51,296
for the truth of the fire to show...
200
00:11:51,296 --> 00:11:54,048
Hey, Firefly, shut it.
No one gives a crap.
201
00:11:54,048 --> 00:11:56,134
It's Firebug.
202
00:11:56,134 --> 00:11:59,929
You know, I tell you, Flass, I'd hate
to be a little guy like that in lockup.
203
00:11:59,929 --> 00:12:03,725
You'd need a real scary rep
if you want to survive in there.
204
00:12:03,725 --> 00:12:07,479
Yeah. A couple of arsons and
a homemade costume ain't gonna cut it.
205
00:12:07,479 --> 00:12:09,063
Did you see his suit?
206
00:12:10,732 --> 00:12:13,776
It's like long underwear,
but on the outside,
207
00:12:13,776 --> 00:12:15,987
and these big bug-eyed goggles.
208
00:12:15,987 --> 00:12:18,448
That uniform is fireproof.
209
00:12:18,448 --> 00:12:21,910
[chuckles] Yeah, I saw that.
Hey, you put it in the trunk, right?
210
00:12:21,910 --> 00:12:24,787
Yeah, it's back there
with his fuel tank dingus.
211
00:12:24,787 --> 00:12:27,123
Wait. Is the lock on that trunk
still busted?
212
00:12:27,123 --> 00:12:30,418
Dang it, you're right.
I keep forgetting to get that fixed.
213
00:12:30,418 --> 00:12:33,087
So you mean anyone
could get into that trunk,
214
00:12:33,087 --> 00:12:35,548
and run off with Firebug's special suit?
215
00:12:35,548 --> 00:12:38,510
Yeah, I guess. Ooh! You hear that?
216
00:12:38,510 --> 00:12:39,928
Sounds like engine trouble.
217
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:55,068
[Bullock] What do you think? Radiator?
218
00:12:55,068 --> 00:12:57,362
[Flass] No, no,
it sounded like the fan belt.
219
00:13:01,157 --> 00:13:05,995
- Maybe we need to get a tow truck.
- Ah, we don't want to do that. The...
220
00:13:07,413 --> 00:13:10,416
All right.
He isn't completely dense after all.
221
00:13:14,671 --> 00:13:16,506
[air hissing]
222
00:13:17,882 --> 00:13:19,842
Okay. Make it look good.
223
00:13:19,842 --> 00:13:22,929
Oh, no. Hey, Flass, I can't...
224
00:13:22,929 --> 00:13:24,222
Just do it.
225
00:13:25,390 --> 00:13:26,391
[grunts]
226
00:13:27,976 --> 00:13:29,143
Again.
227
00:13:30,687 --> 00:13:33,106
- [punch lands]
- [grunting]
228
00:13:33,106 --> 00:13:36,859
- Flass? You okay?
- Yeah.
229
00:13:36,859 --> 00:13:38,695
Yeah, I'm fine.
230
00:13:38,695 --> 00:13:41,239
All right, here's what happened.
231
00:13:41,239 --> 00:13:43,866
Tire went flat, you got out to look at it.
232
00:13:43,866 --> 00:13:46,327
Somehow, Firebug got the better of me.
233
00:13:46,327 --> 00:13:48,705
Little bastard's stronger than he looks.
234
00:13:48,705 --> 00:13:51,207
And then he ran for it. Got it?
235
00:13:51,207 --> 00:13:53,126
You think this is going to work?
236
00:13:53,126 --> 00:13:56,379
Some costumed freak burning down
the Eastside Flats?
237
00:13:56,379 --> 00:13:58,548
You really think
this will draw out the Bat?
238
00:13:58,548 --> 00:14:01,593
If it doesn't,
then we'll try something else.
239
00:14:01,593 --> 00:14:03,511
[children laughing, shouting]
240
00:14:03,511 --> 00:14:06,264
[grunting, laughing]
241
00:14:06,764 --> 00:14:08,850
[suspenseful music playing]
242
00:14:17,358 --> 00:14:19,902
[children chattering]
243
00:14:21,946 --> 00:14:24,949
[chatter, laughter continues]
244
00:14:53,645 --> 00:14:56,105
Yes. Here we go.
245
00:15:14,666 --> 00:15:16,334
[gas hissing]
246
00:15:20,254 --> 00:15:21,631
[music continues]
247
00:15:43,361 --> 00:15:45,154
[tires screeching]
248
00:15:45,154 --> 00:15:46,280
[music continues]
249
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,408
This is just like Flass and Bullock,
250
00:15:48,408 --> 00:15:51,035
doing whatever they think
they can get away with.
251
00:15:51,035 --> 00:15:53,413
Well, not this time. Damn it!
252
00:15:53,413 --> 00:15:55,164
Where are they?
253
00:15:56,416 --> 00:15:59,293
[Batman] There's nothing on
the police band about the Eastside Flats?
254
00:15:59,293 --> 00:16:02,255
[Alfred] No, not at this...
Oh, hang on.
255
00:16:02,255 --> 00:16:04,674
There's just been a report
of a man in a mask
256
00:16:04,674 --> 00:16:06,676
setting fire to one of the tenements.
257
00:16:06,676 --> 00:16:11,013
[indistinct shouting]
258
00:16:11,013 --> 00:16:14,892
[woman] Someone call the fire department!
Please, help!
259
00:16:18,521 --> 00:16:19,939
This is Detective Flass.
260
00:16:19,939 --> 00:16:22,650
I need everyone with a badge
to the Eastside Flats.
261
00:16:22,650 --> 00:16:26,821
We got a building on fire,
an escaped prisoner, and the Batman.
262
00:16:26,821 --> 00:16:31,075
I repeat, the Bat is on the scene.
Get here fast, people. Double time!
263
00:16:31,075 --> 00:16:32,827
[horn honking]
264
00:16:32,827 --> 00:16:36,539
Eastside Flats was on my old beat.
A fire there will be hell on earth.
265
00:16:36,539 --> 00:16:40,042
Last thing those people need is Flass and
Bullock turning it into a war zone too.
266
00:16:40,042 --> 00:16:42,003
This is Commissioner Gordon.
267
00:16:42,003 --> 00:16:44,672
No one makes a move until I get there.
268
00:16:44,672 --> 00:16:46,674
Is that understood?
269
00:16:46,674 --> 00:16:48,634
Okay, we're going to split up in there.
270
00:16:48,634 --> 00:16:52,054
We're looking for the Bat,
and the maniac who started this fire.
271
00:16:52,054 --> 00:16:53,973
Orders are to shoot on sight.
272
00:16:53,973 --> 00:16:57,185
All right, boys,
let's go show these freaks what for.
273
00:16:59,604 --> 00:17:01,439
[boy panting]
274
00:17:06,819 --> 00:17:07,987
[Batman] Stop.
275
00:17:22,001 --> 00:17:24,796
[grunting]
276
00:17:28,299 --> 00:17:31,844
Come on. I'm O'Brian from the Gazette.
You gotta let me through.
277
00:17:31,844 --> 00:17:33,513
I don't gotta do nothing, pal.
278
00:17:33,513 --> 00:17:35,306
[Gordon] Everyone, listen up!
279
00:17:37,475 --> 00:17:39,727
We need to move the civilians back.
280
00:17:39,727 --> 00:17:42,480
This whole place could go up
like a tinderbox at any moment.
281
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,106
Where are Flass and Bullock?
282
00:17:44,106 --> 00:17:46,400
They took an armored squad in
a few minutes ago, sir.
283
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,028
- No one else goes in. Is that clear?
- Yes, sir.
284
00:17:51,239 --> 00:17:52,949
What are you doing? You just said...
285
00:17:52,949 --> 00:17:56,035
I won't have good cops dying in there
because of those two.
286
00:18:07,588 --> 00:18:09,340
Come on. There's another way.
287
00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:12,343
[coughing]
288
00:18:12,343 --> 00:18:15,930
Shelly says the Bat was spotted
on the fifth floor. Let's move.
289
00:18:15,930 --> 00:18:18,266
Hang on. Look, there!
290
00:18:21,018 --> 00:18:24,647
- Damn. I was sure I...
- Come on. [coughs]
291
00:18:24,647 --> 00:18:25,815
He ain't here.
292
00:18:29,443 --> 00:18:32,029
[loud creaking]
293
00:18:36,075 --> 00:18:38,494
[man] Help! Help! Please!
294
00:18:38,494 --> 00:18:41,455
Come on, children. Stay close to Mother.
295
00:18:46,168 --> 00:18:47,211
[gunfire]
296
00:18:49,380 --> 00:18:50,506
[grunting]
297
00:18:52,842 --> 00:18:54,385
Oh!
298
00:18:54,385 --> 00:18:56,846
That way. Go!
299
00:19:02,435 --> 00:19:03,853
Take Mike and Jim...
300
00:19:07,940 --> 00:19:10,651
Well, holy crap.
301
00:19:16,407 --> 00:19:19,243
- Can you stand?
- I think. [coughs]
302
00:19:19,243 --> 00:19:21,412
Yeah. [coughs]
303
00:19:21,412 --> 00:19:22,830
Where are Flass and Bullock?
304
00:19:22,830 --> 00:19:25,666
I don't know. [coughs] We split up.
305
00:19:25,666 --> 00:19:29,295
[Corrigan] Commissioner, we saw Batman.
He's moving towards the top floors.
306
00:19:29,295 --> 00:19:30,755
You need to get them out, Renee.
307
00:19:30,755 --> 00:19:32,381
- And look for more on the way down.
- But...
308
00:19:32,381 --> 00:19:33,925
That's an order. Go.
309
00:19:41,432 --> 00:19:42,850
Okay. Come on, you two.
310
00:19:46,103 --> 00:19:48,522
[eerie child choir vocalizing]
311
00:19:53,945 --> 00:19:56,280
[hissing, clicking]
312
00:19:59,075 --> 00:20:01,661
[Flass] Well, your lawyer was right.
313
00:20:01,661 --> 00:20:04,246
You are more dangerous than you look.
314
00:20:04,997 --> 00:20:09,669
Yes, but I used all my fuel now,
so I guess I give up.
315
00:20:10,836 --> 00:20:13,714
He'll talk. About his escape.
316
00:20:16,801 --> 00:20:18,344
[gunshots]
317
00:20:23,975 --> 00:20:25,351
- [crashing]
- [crowd gasping]
318
00:20:25,351 --> 00:20:26,435
[woman] Oh, my God!
319
00:20:41,325 --> 00:20:42,326
[Gordon] Don't move!
320
00:20:46,622 --> 00:20:48,165
There's another one inside.
321
00:20:52,586 --> 00:20:54,922
- [sobbing]
- [coughs]
322
00:20:55,923 --> 00:20:57,717
It's okay, son. I got you.
323
00:21:05,266 --> 00:21:08,602
- I can take him down outside.
- No. Those men will shoot at you.
324
00:21:08,602 --> 00:21:12,314
They might not see the kids.
Come on. I know these buildings.
325
00:21:12,314 --> 00:21:13,816
This used to be my beat.
326
00:21:15,943 --> 00:21:18,946
- It goes to the laundry room.
- What's at the bottom?
327
00:21:20,406 --> 00:21:22,491
- I guess we'll find out.
- Guess we will.
328
00:21:29,957 --> 00:21:31,459
It's safe.
329
00:21:36,130 --> 00:21:39,008
Okay. Come on, kids. What are you...
330
00:21:40,509 --> 00:21:42,887
All right, everyone stay close.
331
00:21:50,019 --> 00:21:53,230
Oh, thank God.
I thought you were still in there.
332
00:21:53,230 --> 00:21:55,232
I found a shortcut.
333
00:21:56,984 --> 00:22:01,322
Hey, Commish, you see the Batman in there?
Heard he was chasing that Firebug guy.
334
00:22:01,864 --> 00:22:04,033
No, I didn't.
335
00:22:21,258 --> 00:22:25,096
[Gordon] Let me be clear.
I know exactly what you did.
336
00:22:25,096 --> 00:22:29,225
You put fellow officers and innocent
civilians in harm's way on purpose,
337
00:22:29,225 --> 00:22:31,435
and I'm gonna have your badges for this.
338
00:22:31,435 --> 00:22:32,770
[laughs]
339
00:22:32,770 --> 00:22:34,522
There something funny here, Bullock?
340
00:22:35,272 --> 00:22:37,191
Guess you didn't see the papers.
341
00:22:40,986 --> 00:22:42,988
[phone rings]
342
00:22:44,990 --> 00:22:46,784
Gordon, it's Mayor Jessop.
343
00:22:46,784 --> 00:22:49,870
Think it's time we made some changes
to this taskforce.
344
00:22:49,870 --> 00:22:52,832
These two hero cops from the papers,
Flass and Bullock,
345
00:22:52,832 --> 00:22:54,917
I want them in charge from now on.
346
00:22:54,917 --> 00:22:58,921
But listen, I saw you did some good
out there too, Jim. Saved some kids.
347
00:22:58,921 --> 00:23:01,423
So we're going to keep you around for now.
348
00:23:01,423 --> 00:23:05,010
Just make sure my guys have whatever
they need and stay out of their way.
349
00:23:05,010 --> 00:23:08,139
- Understand me?
- Yes, sir, Mr. Mayor.
350
00:23:10,599 --> 00:23:14,520
Let me take a wild guess.
Was that about us?
351
00:23:36,709 --> 00:23:40,171
It's okay, kiddo. I'm not licked yet.
352
00:23:49,555 --> 00:23:52,725
