Get out of here.

Tell me what you know about the Joker.

No.

I’m sorry, Barbara.

Jimmy, go play with your sister. Go ahead, honey.

If there’s anything we can do, anything you need, we’re here for you.

Are you out there?

Are you? You brought this craziness on us. You did!

Switch it off, he ain’t coming. He doesn’t wanna talk to us.

God help whoever he does wanna talk to.

Can’t we go someplace quieter? We can’t hear each other talk.

What makes you think I wanna hear you talk?

What?

Harvey, where are you? Where are you?

I’m where you should be, at Major Crimes. I’m trying to deal with all of this mess.

Can I get the fingerprint analysis? Rachel, listen. You’re not safe there.

This is Gordon’s unit. Gordon’s gone.

He vouched for these men. And he’s gone.

The Joker’s named you next.

God, is there someone, is there anyone in this town we can trust?

Bruce.

We can trust Bruce Wayne.

No. Rachel, I know you’re his friend, but… Harvey, trust me.

Bruce’s penthouse is now the safest place in the city.

Then you go straight there.

Don’t tell anybody and I’ll find you there.

I love you.

I want the Joker.

From one professional to another…

you’re trying to scare somebody, pick a better spot.

From this height, the fall wouldn’t kill me.

I’m counting on it.

Where is he? I don’t know where he is. He found us.

He must have friends.

Friends? Have you met this guy?

Someone knows where he is.

Nobody’s gonna tell you nothing.

They’re wise to your act.

You got rules. The Joker, he’s got no rules.

Nobody’s gonna cross him for you. If you want this guy, you got one way.

But you already know what that is.

Just take off that mask, let him come find you.

Or you can let a couple more people get killed while you make up your mind.

You wanna play games?

How’s that feel?

You wouldn’t. I wouldn’t!

You don’t think I will?

You don’t think I will?

No. No, I wouldn’t.

That’s why I’m not gonna leave it up to me.

Heads, you get to keep your head.

Tails not so lucky.

So you wanna tell me about the Joker?

Let’s go again. I don’t know anything! God, don’t!

You’re not playing the odds, friend.

Let’s do it again.

You’d leave a man’s life to chance?

Not exactly. His name’s Schiff, Thomas.

He’s a paranoid schizophrenic, former patient at Arkham.

The kind of mind the Joker attracts. What do you expect to learn from him?

The Joker killed Gordon. He’s gonna kill Rachel.

You’re the symbol of hope I could never be.

Your stand against organized crime…

is the first legitimate ray of light in Gotham in decades.

If anyone saw this, everything would be undone.

The criminals you arrested would be released…

and Jim Gordon will have died for nothing.

You’re gonna hold a press conference tomorrow.

Why? No one else will die because of me.

Gotham’s in your hands now.

You can’t.

You can’t give in.

You can’t give in!

Harvey called.

He said Batman’s gonna turn himself in.

I have no choice.

You honestly think that’s gonna keep the Joker from killing people?

Maybe not. But I have enough blood on my hands.

And I’ve seen now what I would have to become to stop men like him.

You once told me that if the day came when I was finished that we’d be together.

Bruce, don’t make me your one hope for a normal life.

Did you mean it?

Yes.

If you turn yourself in, they’re not gonna let us be together.

Logs as well? Everything.

Anything that could lead back to Lucius or Rachel.

People are dying, Alfred. What would you have me do?

Endure, Master Wayne. Take it.

They’ll hate you for it, but that’s the point of Batman.

He can be the outcast. He can make the choice that no one else can make.

The right choice.

No, today I found out what Batman can’t do.

He can’t endure this.

Today you get to say “I told you so.”

Today, I don’t want to.

But I did bloody tell you.

I suppose they’re gonna lock me up as well as your accomplice.

Accomplice? I’m gonna tell them the whole thing was your idea.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve called this press conference for two reasons.

Firstly, to assure the citizens of Gotham…

that everything that can be done over the Joker killings is being done.

Secondly, because the Batman has offered to turn himself in.

But let’s consider the situation.

Should we give in to this terrorist’s demands?

Do we really think he’s gonna…?

You’d rather protect an outlaw vigilante than the lives of citizens?

The Batman is an outlaw.

That’s not why we demand he turn himself in, we’re doing it because we’re scared.

We’ve been happy to let Batman clean up our streets till now.

Things are worse than ever!

Yes, they are.

But the night is darkest just before the dawn.

And I promise you…

the dawn is coming.

One day, the Batman will have to answer for the laws he’s broken. But to us…

not to this madman.

No more dead cops!

He should turn himself in!

Give us the Batman!

I am the Batman.

Alfred.

Why is he letting Harvey do this?

He went down to the press conference. I know. He just stood by.

Perhaps both Bruce and Mr. Dent…

believe that Batman stands for something more important than the whims of a terrorist, Miss Dawes even if everyone hates him for it.

That’s the sacrifice he’s making.

He’s not being a hero. He’s being something more.

Yeah, you’re absolutely right.

Letting Harvey take the fall for this is not heroic at all.

You know him better than anyone.

I do.

Will you give this to him for me? When the time is right?

Bye, Rachel.

I didn’t have time to talk this through.

What are you doing?

They’re transferring me to Central Holding.

This is the Joker’s chance, and when he attacks, the Batman will take him down.

Listen. This is too dangerous.

We get this guy to County, he’s their problem. The streets will be cleared…

so let’s go. The convoys stop for no reason.

I hope you got some moves, pal.

He’s using you as bait. He doesn’t know if he can get the Joker. He’s failed so far.

How do you know what he’s thinking?

I just do. Anyway, this isn’t just about you.

What about the people depending on you to

Heads, I go through with it.

This is your life. You can’t leave something like that to chance.

I’m not.

You make your own luck.
