Are you all right?

Let’s not do that again.

Is Harvey okay? He’s safe.

Thank you.

Jim, it’s over.

As long as they don’t get to Lau, we’ve cut off their funds.

The prosecution’s over. Nobody’s standing up in front of a judge…

while judges and police commissioners are getting blown away.

What about Dent?

He’s got any sense, Dent’s halfway to Mex…

So where do you keep your trash?

You’re due in court. I need you alive long enough to get you on the record.

You can’t protect me. You can’t even protect yourselves.

You refuse to cooperate, you’re not coming back here, you go to County.

How long do you calculate you’ll last in there?

Targeting me won’t get their money. I knew the Mob wouldn’t go down easily…

but this is different. They crossed a line.

You crossed the line first.

You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation.

And in their desperation, they turned to a man they didn’t fully understand.

Criminals aren’t complicated, Alfred.

We just need to figure out what he’s after.

With respect, Master Wayne perhaps this is a man you don’t fully understand either.

A long time ago, I was in Burma…

and my friends and I were working for the local government.

They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders…

by bribing them with precious stones…

but their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit.

So we went looking for the stones.

But in six months, we never met anyone who traded with him.

One day, I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine.

The bandit had been throwing them away.

So why steal them? Because he thought it was good sport.

Because some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money.

They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with.

Some men just wanna watch the world burn.

Your name, sir?

“Richard Dent.”

“Patrick Harvey.”

Harvey Dent.

I need 10 minutes with the scene before your men contaminate it.

It’s because of you these guys are dead…

Detective!

Give us a minute, guys.

That’s brick underneath.

Gonna take ballistics off a shattered bullet?

No.

Fingerprints.

Whatever you’re gonna do, do it fast.

Because we found his next target. He’s put it in tomorrow’s paper.

I’m not sure you made it loud enough, sir.

What can I do for you, Mr. Reese?

You wanted me to do the diligence on the LSI Holdings deal again.

Well, I found some irregularities.

Their CEO is in police custody.

No, not with their numbers, with yours.

Applied Sciences. Whole division of Wayne Enterprises just disappeared overnight.

I went down to the archives and I started pulling some old files.

Don’t tell me you didn’t recognize your baby

pancaking cop cars on the evening news.

Now you got the entire R & D Department burning through cash…

claiming it’s related to cell phones for the Army?

What are you building for him now, a rocket ship?

I want $10 million a year for the rest of my life.

Let me get this straight.

You think that your client one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands and your plan is to blackmail this person?

Good luck.

Keep that.

This is your original scan.

Here it is reengineered.

And there’s the thumbprint he left when he pushed the round in the clip.

I’ll get you a copy.

Mr. Wayne, did you reassign R & D?

Yeah. Government telecommunications project.

Wasn’t aware we had any government contracts.

You know, Lucius, I’m playing this one pretty close to the chest.

Fair enough.

With no word from the Batman, even as they mourn Commissioner Loeb…

these cops have to wonder if the Joker will make good on his threat…

in the obituary column of The Gotham Times to kill the mayor.

I’ve checked all the databases. There are four possibles.

Cross-reference the addresses.

Look for Parkside, overlooking the parade.

I got one.

Melvin White, 1502 Randolph Apartments.

Aggravated assault, moved to Arkham twice.

What do you got on the roof?

We’re tight, but frankly, there’s a lot of windows up here.

Commissioner Loeb dedicated his life to law enforcement…

and to the protection of his community.

I remember when I first took office and I asked if he wanted to stay on as commissioner.

And he said he would, provided I kept my politics out of his office.

Clearly he was not a man who minced words, nor should he have been.

A number of policies that he enacted as commissioner were unpopular.

Policies that flooded my office with angry calls and letters…

Who’s that? What happened?

They took our guns.

And our uniforms.

we must remember that vigilance is the price of safety.

Stand by. Honor guard.

Attention. Ready! Aim! Fire!

Ready! Aim!

Ready! Aim!

Stay down! Don’t move!

Mr. Mayor. Get him out of here.

I’ll see you later. Why are you going back?
