Apr 25, 2006 - Batman Begins Transcript has Been Found - Part 2Back
Theatricality and deception...
...are powerful weapons, Alfred.
This is a good start.
If those are to be the first
of many injuries to come...
...it would be wise
to find a suitable excuse.
Polo, for instance.
I'm not learning polo, Alfred.
Strange injuries,
a nonexistent social life.
These things beg the question...
...as to what exactly does Bruce Wayne
do with his time and his money.
What does someone like me do?
Drive sports cars, date movie stars.
Buy things that are not for sale.
Who knows, Master Wayne,
you start pretending to have fun...
...you might even have a little
by accident.
MAN:
Sir.
- We have a situation.
- All right.
The Coast Guard picked up
one of our cargo ships last night...
...heavily damaged, all crew missing,
probably dead.
The ship was carrying
a prototype weapon.
It's a microwave emitter.
It's designed for desert warfare, but it...
It looks like somebody...
...turned it on.
It uses focused microwaves to
vaporize the enemy's water supply.
The damage to the ship
was catastrophic.
The weapon itself is...
Missing?
Yeah.
MAN:
Mr. Wayne.
Nice car.
You should see my other one.
WOMAN: He's done something
the police never have.
MAN: You can't take the law
into your own hands.
Well, at least he's getting
something done.
MAN: Bruce, help me out here.
- Huh?
Well, a guy who dresses up
like a bat clearly has issues.
But he's put Falcone behind bars.
MAN: Now the cops want him.
What does that tell you?
They're jealous.
Sir, the pool is for decoration...
...and your friends
do not have swimwear.
Well, they're European.
I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
- It is not a question of money.
- Well, you see...
...I'm buying this hotel...
...and setting some new rules
about the pool area.
I think the Batman deserves a medal.
And a straitjacket to pin it on.
MAN:
Thank you.
Bruce?
Rachel?
I'd heard you were back.
What are you doing?
Just swimming here.
Wow, it is good to see you.
You were gone a long time.
- I know. How are things?
- The same.
Job's getting worse.
Can't change the world on your own.
What choice do I have...
...when you're too busy swimming?
Rachel, all of...
All this...
It's... It's not me. It's...
Inside, I am...
I am more.
WOMAN :
Come on, Bruce. Come on.
WOMAN : Bruce, we have
some more hotels for you to buy.
Bruce...
...deep down you may still be
that same great kid you used to be.
But it's not who you are underneath...
...it's what you do that defines you.
WOMAN:
Dr. Crane, thanks for coming.
Not at all. He cut his wrists?
Probably looking for the insanity plea.
But if anything should happen...
Of course, better safe than sorry.
Yeah, Dr. Crane, I can't take it anymore.
It's all too much.
The walls are closing in.
Blah, blah, blah.
A couple of days of this food,
it'll be true.
- What do you want?
- I wanna know...
...how you're gonna convince me
to keep my mouth shut.
About what?
You don't know anything.
I know you don't want the cops to take
a closer look at the drugs they seized.
And I know about your experiments
with the inmates of your nut house.
See, I don't go into business with a guy
without finding out his dirty secrets.
And those goons you used.
I own the muscle in this town.
Now, I've been bringing
your stuff in for months...
...so whatever he's planning,
it's big, and I want in.
Well, I already know what he'll say.
That we should kill you.
Even he can't get me in here.
Not in my town.
Would you like to see my mask?
I use it in my experiments.
Now, I'm probably not very frightening
to a guy like you.
But these crazies, they can't stand it.
So when did the nut
take over the nut house?
[SCREAMING]
SCARECROW:
They scream and they cry...
...much as you're doing now.
Well, he's not faking. Not that one.
I'll talk to the judge
and see if I can get him moved...
...to the secure wing at Arkham.
I can't treat him here.
BATMAN:
Storm's coming.
The scum is getting jumpy
because you stood up to Falcone.
It's a start. Your partner
was at the docks with Falcone.
Well, he moonlights
as a low-level enforcer.
They were splitting the shipment in two.
Only half went to the dealers.
Why? What about the other half?
- Flass knows.
- He won't talk.
He'll talk to me.
GORDON: Commissioner Loeb set up
a massive task force to catch you.
- He thinks you're dangerous.
- What do you think?
I think you're trying to help.
But I've been wrong before.
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
[SIRENS WAILING]
FLASS:
Come on, I ain't got all night.
Flass, I have kids to feed.
What, they don't like falafel?
[SCREAMING]
Where were the other drugs going?
I never knew. I don't know.
- I swear to God.
- Swear to me!
[SCREAMING]
I don't... I don't know.
I never knew. Never.
They went to some guy for a couple days
before they went to the dealers.
Why?
There was something...
Something else in the drugs...
...something hidden.
- What?
I never went to the drop-off point.
It was in the Narrows.
- Cops only go there in force.
- Do I look like a cop?
No...!
FINCH:
This is the one I'm talking about.
- What's your problem with it?
- It shouldn't exist.
This ship left Singapore with
containers, but arrived with .
I'm guessing there's something
I'm not supposed to find in there.
Listen, counselor, we don't wanna
know what's in Mr. Falcone's crate.
Things are working a little
differently now. Open it up.
FINCH:
What the hell is this?
[GUNSHOTS]
It's you, isn't it?
Everybody's been talking about you.
MAN:
Get in here!
The other kids won't believe me.
[DOOR OPENS]
Get rid of all traces.
MAN: Better torch the whole place.
CRANE: All right.
[GLASS SHATTERS]
SCARECROW:
Having trouble?
Take a seat. Have a drink.
You look like a man
who takes himself too seriously.
Do you want my opinion?
You need to lighten up.
[GROANING]
Alfred, help me.
Blood. Take. Take poison. Blood poison.
Poisonous. Poisonous.
THOMAS:
Bruce...
...why do we fall?
- How long was I out?
- Two days.
It's your birthday.
Many happy returns.
I've felt these effects before,
but this was so much more potent.
It was some kind of hallucinogen,
weaponized, in aerosol form.
You have been hanging out
in the wrong clubs, Mr. Wayne.
I called Mr. Fox when your condition
worsened after the first day.
FOX:
I analyzed your blood...
...isolating the receptor compounds
and the protein-based catalyst.
Am I meant to understand any of that?
Not at all. I just wanted you to know
how hard it was.
- Bottom line, I synthesized an antidote.
- Could you make more?
You planning on gassing yourself
again, Mr. Wayne?
Well, you know how it is.
You're out at night, looking for kicks...
...someone's passing around
the weaponized hallucinogens...
I'll bring what I have.
The antidote should inoculate you for now.
Alfred, always a pleasure.
Lucius.
- You sure you don't want to come in?
- I have to get back.
- I wanted to leave this.
- Thank you.
BRUCE:
Rachel?
RACHEL: Looks like someone's been
burning the candle at both ends.
- Must've 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've got better plans?
- My boss has been missing for days...
...which means I should
probably start by looking...
...at the bottom of the river.
- Rachel.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
RACHEL:
Excuse me.
Rachel Dawes.
Who authorized that? Get Crane down
there now. Don't take no for an answer.
Call Dr. Lehmann, tell him we need our
own assessment to the judge by morning.
- What's wrong?
- It's Falcone.
Dr. Crane moved him to Arkham Asylum
on suicide watch.
You're going to Arkham now?
It's in the Narrows, Rachel.
You enjoy your party, Bruce.
- Some of us have work to do.
- You be careful.
Happy birthday.
But, Master Wayne,
the guests will be arriving.
Keep them happy until I arrive.
Tell them that joke you know.
[PLAYING PIANO]
EARLE:
Having fun?
Bill? Now, what's a big shot like you
doing in a place like this?
I need some information.
The Wayne Enterprise -B, -ME.
-ME.
It's a microwave emitter. It was designed
to vaporize an enemy's water supply.
Rumor was they tested dispersing
water-based chemicals into the air...
...but isn't that illegal?
I want all the information
on the development of this project...
...all data, files, backup disks,
on my desk right away.
Did you lose one?
I'm merging your department
with Archives.
And I am firing you.
Didn't you get the memo?
FALCONE:
Scarecrow.
Scarecrow.
Scarecrow.
Miss Dawes, this is most irregular.
I have nothing to add
to the report I filed with the judge.
- I have questions about your report.
- Such as?
Isn't it convenient for a -year-old man
who has no history of mental illness...
...to have a psychotic breakdown
just when he's about to be indicted?
As you can see for yourself, there is
nothing convenient about his symptoms.
- Scarecrow.
- What's "scarecrow"?
Patients suffering delusional episodes
often focus their paranoia...
...on an external tormentor...
...usually one conforming
to Jungian archetypes.
In this case, a scarecrow.
- He's drugged?
- Psychopharmacology is my primary field.
CRANE [ON RADIO]:
I'm a strong advocate.
Outside, he was a giant.
In here, only the mind
can grant you power.
You 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 Falcone
behind bars, not in therapy.
I want my own psychiatric consultant
to have full access to Falcone...
...including blood work.
Find out what exactly you put him on.
- First thing tomorrow, then.
- Tonight.
I've already paged Dr. Lehmann
at County General.
CRANE:
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.
[SCREAMING]
Who knows you're here?
Who knows?
He's here.
MAN :
Who?
The Batman.
MAN : What do we do?
- What anyone does...
...when a prowler 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.
MAN : What about her?
CRANE: She hasn't got long.
I gave her a concentrated dose.
The mind can only take so much.
Now go.
MAN :
The things they say about him.
Can he really fly?
MAN :
I heard he can disappear.
Well, we'll find out.
Won't we?
[GUNSHOTS]
Taste of your own medicine, doctor?
What have you been doing here?
Who are you working for?
Ra's... Ra's al Ghul.
Ra's al Ghul is dead.
Who are you working for?
Crane.
Dr. Crane isn't here right now.
But if you'd like to make
an appointment...
[SIRENS WAILING]
OFFICER [OVER P.A.]: Batman,
put down your weapons and surrender.
You're surrounded.
- What are you waiting for?
- Backup.
- Backup?
- The Batman's in there.
SWAT's on the way.
But if you wanna go in now...
...I'll be right behind you, sir.
SWAT's on the way.
- Hey.
- Hey.
GORDON:
What's happened to her?
Crane poisoned her with a psychotropic
hallucinogen, a panic-inducing toxin.
- Let me get her down to the medics.
- They can't help her, but I can.
Get her downstairs.
Meet me in the alley.
Crane's been smuggling his toxin
hidden in Falcone's drugs...
...and they're dumping it
into the water supply.
- What was he planning?
- I don't know.
Was he working for Falcone?
He mentioned someone else,
someone worse.
She needs the antidote
before the damage is permanent.
- How long does she have?
- Not long.
[BUZZING IN DISTANCE]
What is that?
- Backup.
- What the...?
[BATS SQUEAKING]
Excuse me.
BATMAN: How is she?
- She's fading. We gotta go.
I'll get my car.
BATMAN:
I brought mine.
Yours?
I've gotta get me one of those.
OFFICER : He is in a vehicle.
OFFICER [OVER RADIO]:
Make and color?
It's a black...
...tank.
Stay calm.
You've been poisoned.
I'm on him.
Breathe slowly.
Hold on.
- What are you doing?
- Shortcut.
OFFICER [OVER RADIO]:
Air One to ground, block that ramp.
He's got no way off that roof.
Turn off your engine.
Step away from the car.
- Trust me.
COMPUTER: Weapons system activated.
Who is this guy?
OFFICER [OVER RADIO]:
Where's he going?
He's on the roof.
OFFICER : What street is he taking?
- He's not on a street.
He's flying on rooftops.
At least tell me what it looks like.
Never mind.
Got him.
Coming right up on his butt.
OFFICER : We're tracking suspect
vehicle heading west on l- .
- Air One to ground.
- I lost him.
OFFICER :
We've lost visual. Exit is blocked.
We'll loop back to check
the frontage road.
COMPUTER:
Stealth mode activated.
Stay with me.
What...? There he is.
Just hold on.
Rachel!
GORDON:
They get any of this into the mains?
OFFICER:
Yeah.
Notify the water company.
There's gotta be a way to isolate it.
No. They put it all in.
They must've been at this for weeks.
- Gotham's entire water supply is laced.
- Why haven't we felt the effects?
Must be a compound that
has to be absorbed through the lungs.
[BATS SQUEAKING]
BATMAN:
How do you feel?
Where are we?
- Why did you bring me here?
- lf I hadn't, your mind would be lost.
- You were poisoned.
- It was...
- It was Dr. Crane.
- Rest. Gordon has Crane.
Is Sergeant Gordon your friend?
I don't have the luxury of friends.
I'm gonna 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 inoculate himself,
the other for mass production.
RACHEL:
Mass production?
Crane was just a pawn.
We need to be ready.
When you told me your grand plan
for saving Gotham...
...all 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?
- **mn good television.
- It's a miracle no one was killed.
I didn't 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.
For 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, but what
you're doing has to be beyond that.
It can't be personal,
or you're just a vigilante.
- Is Fox still here?
- Yes, sir.
We need to send these people away.
Those are Bruce Wayne's guests.
You have a name to maintain.
I don't care about my name.
It's not just your name, sir.
It's your father's name.
And it's all that's left of him.
Don't destroy it.
[GUESTS SINGING
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY"]
- Mr. Earle.
- Happy birthday, Bruce.
Thank you.
How did the stock offering go?
Prices soared.
Who was buying?
All kinds of funds and brokerages.
It's a bit technical.
The key thing is...
...our company's future is secure.
Great.
A little the worse for wear, I'm afraid.
GORDON:
What was the plan, Crane?
How were you gonna get
your toxin into the air?
Scarecrow. Scarecrow.
Who were you working for, Crane?
Oh, it's too late.
You can't stop it now.
GORDON:
Here.
MAN: Happy birthday, Bruce.
- Thank you. Thanks.
And thank you for that item.
You're welcome.
- I know you'll put it to good use.
- I already have.
How long would it take
to manufacture on a large scale?
Weeks. Why?
Somebody's planning to disperse
the toxin using the water supply.
The water supply won't help you
disperse an inhalant.
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?
Earle just fired me for asking
too many questions about it.
Go back to Wayne Enterprises now
and start making more of that antidote.
The police are gonna need as much
as they can get their hands on.
My security clearance
has been revoked.
That wouldn't stop a man like you,
would it?
I suppose not.
- Bruce, there's somebody you must meet.
- Not now, Mrs. Delane.
Now, am I pronouncing this right...
...Mr. Ra's al Ghul?
You're not Ra's al Ghul.
I watched him die.
DUCARD:
But is Ra's al Ghul immortal?
Are his methods supernatural?
Or cheap parlor tricks to conceal
your true identity, Ra's?
Surely a man who spends his nights
scrambling over the rooftops of Gotham...
...wouldn't begrudge me dual identities.
I saved your life.
I warned you about compassion, Bruce.
Your quarrel is with me.
You let these people go.
You are welcome to explain
the situation to them.
BRUCE:
Everyone.
Everybody?
I...
I want to thank you all for coming here
tonight and drinking all of my booze.
[GUESTS LAUGHING]
No, really.
There's a thing about being a Wayne...
...that you're never short of
a few freeloaders, like yourselves...
...to fill up your mansion with.
So here's to you people. Thank you.
- That's enough, Bruce.
- I'm not finished.
To all of you...
All of you phonies,
all of you two-faced friends...
...you sycophantic suck-ups
who 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.
The apple has fallen very far
from the tree, Mr. Wayne.
He's turning into a jerk.
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
compound 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 to ransom.
But really, you are gonna release
Crane's poison on the entire city.
Then watch Gotham tear itself apart
through fear.
BRUCE:
You're gonna destroy millions of lives.
DUCARD: Only a cynical man would call
what these people have "lives," Wayne.
Crime. Despair.
This is not how man
was supposed to live.
The League of Shadows has been
a check against human corruption...
...for thousands of years.
We sacked Rome.
Loaded trade ships with 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're 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.
When a forest grows too wild,
a purging 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 attacked Gotham before?
- Of course.
Over the ages our weapons
have grown more sophisticated.
With Gotham we tried a new one.
Economics.
But we underestimated certain
of Gotham's citizens...
...such as your parents.
Gunned down by one of the very people
they 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 lack 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 am gonna stop you.
- You never did learn...
...to mind your surroundings.
Justice is balance.
You burned my house
and left me for dead.
Consider us even.
No one comes out. Make sure.
GORDON:
They're all gone?
- How many from maximum security?
- Every one of them.
Serial killers, rapists.
Raise the bridges.
We don't want any getting off the island.
FLASS:
Yeah, I'll raise the bridges...
...when I get every available unit out here
to catch the homicidal maniacs...
...that are running loose out there.
- Come on!
I hope you're not a member
of the fire brigade.
Master Wayne! Master Wayne!
What is the point of all those pushups
if you can't even lift a bloody log?
[PLAYING PIANO]
BRUCE:
What have I done, Alfred?
Everything my family...
...my father, built...
The Wayne legacy is more
than bricks and mortar, sir.
I wanted to save Gotham.
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.
GORDON:
Down!
MAN:
Harassment! I see harassment!
Maybe you'd like to see
some excessive force?
Madman with a gun.
WOMAN [ON TV]:
With residents furious...
...at the unprecedented show of police
strength to round up the inmates...
We're about to raise these bridges.
Officer, I am a Gotham City
district attorney. Let me pass.
- Just shut up!
- Hey, Flass, cool it!
OFFICER :
Hold these people back.
OFFICER : Hey, Gordon.
Somebody here to see you.
- What are you doing here?
- Our friend sent me with this.
It counteracts Crane's toxin.
Hopefully you won't need it.
Not unless he's got some way
of getting that crap into the air.
All right, last one across.
OFFICER : People, they want this
bridge up in no more than three minutes!
Better get you off the island before
they raise the bridges. Patrolman!
Go!
[PEOPLE SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]
I can't find my mom.
RACHEL:
Hey!
What the hell are you doing?
DUCARD:
Gentlemen...
...time to spread the word.
And the word is...
...panic.
Jesus. The pressure, it's spiking.
[BEEPING]
Right there.
MAN: That water main
is right under the Narrows.
[PEOPLE COUGHING]
RACHEL:
It's okay.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
This is Commissioner Loeb.
Come on, somebody talk to me.
Come on!
GORDON:
Loeb, Loeb. This is Gordon.
What the hell is going on?
We need reinforcements.
TAC teams, SWAT, riot cops!
Gordon! All the city's riot police
are on the island with you!
GORDON [OVER RADIO]:
Well, they're completely incapacitated!
It's okay, it's okay.
No one's gonna hurt you.
SCARECROW:
Of course they are!
- Crane?
- No. Scarecrow.
Gordon...
...there's nobody left to send in.
GORDON:
So I'm on my own?
The Narrows is tearing itself to pieces.
This is just the beginning.
If they hit the whole city...
...there's nothing to stop Gotham
tearing itself apart.
- How are they gonna do that?
- The train.
The monorail follows the water mains to
the central hub beneath Wayne Tower.
If the machine gets to the station...
...it'll cause a chain reaction
that'll vaporize the city's water supply.
Covering Gotham in this poison.
I'm gonna stop him from loading
that train, but I may need your help.
- What do you need?
- Can you drive stick?
SCARECROW:
There you are!
There is nothing to fear...
...but fear itself!
I am here to help you!
[SCARECROW SCREAMING]
Batman will save us. He'll come.
- He'll come.
- Don't peek.
This is Gordon.
Prepare to lower the bridge.
I told you he'd come.
RACHEL:
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 theatricality a bit literally.
- It ends here.
- For you and the police, maybe.
My fight, however,
lies with the rest of Gotham.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a city to destroy.
- I can't beat two of your pawns?
- As you wish.
COMPUTER:
GPS online.
In yards.
DUCARD:
Gentlemen.
Who the hell authorized this?
COMPUTER:
Distance to Wayne Tower, three miles.
The pressure's moving along the mains,
blowing the pipes.
If that pressure reaches us...
...the water supply right across
the whole city is gonna blow!
COMPUTER:
At the next intersection, turn right.
You will never learn.
Sorry.
- Familiar. Don't you have anything new?
- How about this?!
COMPUTER:
You have arrived at Wayne Tower.
MAN:
Evacuate the building.
We're on top of the main hub
and it's gonna blow.
COMPUTER:
Weapons system activated.
Nice ride.
COMPUTER:
Armed.
[BEEPING]
Don't be afraid, Bruce.
Come on. Come on.
DUCARD:
You are just an ordinary man in a cape.
That's why you couldn't fight injustice,
that's why you can't stop this train.
Who said anything about stopping it?
Yes!
BATMAN: You never learned
to mind your surroundings!
Have you finally learned to do
what is necessary?
I won't kill you...
...but I don't have to save you.
JESSICA: The meeting's already started.
- What meeting?
Fox, I seem to remember firing you.
You did.
I got another job.
Yours.
On whose authority?
ALFRED: Batman may
have made the front page...
...but Bruce Wayne
got pushed to page eight.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Bruce Wayne.
What makes you think you can decide
who's running Wayne Enterprises?
- The fact that I'm the owner.
EARLE: What are you talking about?
The company went public a week ago.
And I bought most of the shares.
Through various charitable foundations
and trusts and so forth.
Look, it's all a bit technical,
but the important thing...
...is that my company's future
is secure.
Right, Mr. Fox?
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...
...and 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...
I started to hope.
But then I found out about your mask.
Batman's just a symbol, Rachel.
No. 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.
But maybe he's still
out there somewhere.
Maybe someday,
when Gotham no longer needs Batman...
...I'll see him again.
- Proved me wrong, you know.
- About what?
Your father would be very proud of you.
Just like me.
RACHEL:
What will you do?
Rebuild it.
Just the way it was, brick for brick.
Just the way it was, sir?
Yeah, why?
I thought this might be
a good opportunity for...
...improving the foundations.
- In the southeast corner?
- Precisely, sir.
- Nice.
- I couldn't find any mob bosses.
BATMAN: Well, sergeant?
- It's "lieutenant" now.
You really started something.
Bent cops running scared.
Hope on the streets.
- But?
- The Narrows is lost.
And we still haven't picked up Crane or
half the inmates of Arkham that he freed.
We will.
We can bring Gotham back.
- What about escalation?
- Escalation?
We start carrying semiautomatics,
they buy automatics.
We start wearing Kevlar,
they buy armor-piercing rounds.
- And?
- And you're wearing a mask...
...and jumping off rooftops.
Now, 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.
