"These are electrode wounds." "This man was given a crude," "Invasive kind of electroshock therapy." "Metal needles were inserted into the brain" "And electricity was applied to his frontal lobes." "What for?" "Surgically, it's used to modify aberrant behavior," "But in this case, way too much voltage was used" "And his brain is completely fried." "Another under your watch, gordon?" "How did this happen?" "You rushed into opening," "And now you're running this place" "With skeleton staff and zero surveillance" "In an unsafe and unsecure 200-year-old maze." "Excellent."

"Officer gordon?" "I want you to find out which one" "Of our charming inmates did this." "I want a report on my desk Friday." "Another day, another dollar." "Really?" "This is rather usual" "And sinister, isn't it?" "Yes." "So, who are we looking for?" "What does it take to pull this off?" "Uh..." "Some basic knowledge of human anatomy." "Um, basic electrical skills." "A circuit board," "Some wiring." "Is that all?" "And the door keys, of course." ""the door keys."" "Right." "No, man, I got my keys right here." "Look at me, steven." "Look at me." "Tell me the truth." "Why you picking on me?" "There's five other guards with keys to this wing." "True, and you're the only one who looks" "And smells like a hunted animal." "Look, steven." "Whoever fried frogman had keys." "Now, we've searched all the inmates' cells." "No keys." "But I know they're out there." "And I need to know where." "I'm backed up against the wall here." "And I'm starting to lose my patience... do you understand?" "That fight..." "During the play." "Right after, I noticed my keys were gone." "You lose equipment, that's a big deal." "They dock me a week's pay, so I tracked done a spare set!" "Who took the keys?" "I don't know." "Anyone could've taken them." "Walk away." "Sorry..." "Walk away!" "And then he raises our taxes" "After his money blows up." "Killed bannion like he was nobody." "I'll say it." "I wish something would happen to old man falcone" "Before he comes after one of us." "That's where this is going." "Slow down." "Now, let's imagine" "God forbid anything happened to falcone." "Just for kicks..." "Who would take over then?" "Who would take over?" "I do." "You?" "Now, that never occurred to me." "What never occurred?" "I'm next in line." "Seniority." "That's the way the system works." "That's how the system used to work back in the day." "It's a new dawn, a new city." "I would believe we would need" "Some fresh thinking at the top." "And who is the fresh thinker that you got in mind?" "Let me guess." "Who?" "Her." "She's talking about her." "Oh." "Really?" "You don't think I could run the family?" "Hey, no, why not?" "Woman's lib and all that." "But fair play, jimmy is next in line." "Well, there's no need to argue." "It's all hypotheticals anyhow." "We're just talking, right?" "Inmate 5075 jack gruber." "Inmate gruber?" "Did you take officer wenger's keys?" "You're looking into the sad demise of the frogman." "The frogman disrupted your play last night." "Yeah." "You didn't like him very much, did you?" "Well, I had no opinion of him." "He was called the frogman because he believed" "A giant bullfrog lived inside his abdomen," "Controlling his thoughts." "He was already dead." "I don't waste psychic energy on the dead." "Rape, murder..." "You're no stranger to violence, gruber." "Your psych evals say you're a grade-a sociopath." "Why should I take your word for anything?" "You shouldn't believe everything you read, jim." "May I call you jim?" "Did you take the keys?" "Please," "Search my cell if you do not find me trustworthy," "But, no, jim, I did not take anyone's keys." "Thank you." "Guard?" "Did you take officer wenger's keys?" "No." "Hey." "Hey!" "Settle down." "S-settle down." " Settle down." "Did you take off..." "You have the keys?" "Get the straps!" "Need a restraint!" "Keys?" "Yes." "Keys." "Did you take the guard's keys?" "No." "Am I in trouble?" "No, aaron," "Unless you're lying to me." "Lying?" "Aaron never lies," "Mr. Gordon." "He doesn't have the concept," "Poor peaceful soul that he is." "He killed his family with an axe." "Isn't that what you did, aaron?" "Never harmed a fly before or since." "I said sorry." "Okay, aaron." "You're free to go." "Thank you." "Guard?" "You saw how that went." "Saviano's the problem." "Now, on his own, janacek, I can turn him around." "And the junior capos will follow him." "But that saviano, we got to deal with him" "Before we make our move on maroni." "Why not let me talk to saviano" "On my own?" "Me and jimmy go way back." "That's true." "You do go way back." "What would you tell him?" "I'd say you're the best candidate." "He knows that." "He just can't admit it to your face." "Too proud." "Okay then." "Talk to him." "Will do." "Butch," "You're not turning on me, are you?" "Ho!" "What kind of question is that?" "Why would you even joke about something like that?" "I'm just asking." "A girl gets insecure once in a while." "Royston, what are you doing out of your cell?" "Hey, cut it out!" "Full fathom five thy father lies." "Of his bones are coral made." "Aw, hell." "Royston, is that your name?" "Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell." "Fascinating." "The poor man can walk and talk, but all he remembers are lines" "From the play." "Same electroshock technique" "As frogman but with slightly less drastic results." "It's like whoever's doing this is improving their methods." "Or maybe their process is so haphazard, they don't know" "What kind of outcome they're gonna get." "One man ends up a vegetable," "While the other one recites shakespeare on a loop." "I don't understand what an inmate gains" "From scrambling up another inmate." "You should stay on the female wing for a while." "There's no reason to put yourself in danger." "I'm perfectly capable of protecting myself." "Besides, my patients need me." "There's gonna be some drama around here." "The missing keys" "Made me focus on the inmates," "But I think it's a misdirection." "I think I should be focusing on the staff." "Oh." "I see." "There will be some drama." "But, wait, I'm staff." "What if it's me?" "It's not you." "How can you tell?" "You're not the type." "Cop skills, huh?" "You can read people." "Some people." "A staff member?" "That's absurd." "It was an inmate." "I don't think so." "Your job is to oversee inmate security." "You're not authorized to conduct an investigation" "Of the staff." "Whoa." "You're trying to force my hand." "You want me to call the police." "No." "I already called 'em." "Barbara, you need to wake up." "Morning." "I got you coffee." "Mmm, extra sweet." "You always remember." "Yeah." "Have you spoken to jim recently?" "Why would I?" "Renee, you don't" "Have to be jealous of jim." "I'm over him." "This was a mistake." "What was?" "This." "Us." "I should have never let it go on for this long." "I'm s..." "I'm sorry." "Oh, I-I see." "Look, barbara..." "No." "No." "I mean, you're..." "No, you are absolutely right." "This-this was a mistake." "This has been a really long process for me," "And I've worked too hard to get right with myself." "I-I wanted this to be good, but I can't fall back now." "The drinking, the drugs." "We're toxic together, you and me." "Please, renee, stop." "There's no need to say another word." "I am sorry that I interfered with your process." "Barbara, you need help" "I can't give you right now." "Let me call jim" "For you, please." "No." "Where's my purse?" "You don't need to go." "Stay here." "Take time to get yourself together." "I'll go." "I am perfectly together, thank you." "I am just toxic, that's all." "Now, where's my damn purse?" "!" "Barbara, stop." "Calm down, please, all right?" "I'll go." "Please." "Fine." "Do what you want." "Go." "I'm sorry..." "Just go." "Hey, pal." "In a cow slip's bell I lie," "There I crouch when owls do cry." "All right." "I can dig that." "Detective..." "Jim!" "Partner." "Mwah!" "Let me take a good look at you." "Lord have mercy, a screw." "Excuse me." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." "Hey, you weren't exaggerating." "Freaky as advertised." "Nobody of authority called on you, sir." "This is not a police matter." "You must be director dr." "Lang." "See, I beg to differ." "This is third degree assault, at the very least." "A friend of yours, is it?" "Egregious insubordination." "Your job here was already hanging on a thread." "This is the end of your career in law enforcement." "Count on it." "Whoa!" "Take it easy, hot shot." "Officer gordon did the right thing." "Why wouldn't he call the police?" "Anyone would think you'd want" "To keep this business quiet." "Gerry..." "It is gerry, isn't it?" "Now, did you do this terrible thing, gerry?" "That doesn't even merit a reply." "No, I did not do this terrible thing." "But you have the skill, though, as a doctor." "I mean, you could do it, lickety-split." "Now, why would I do this?" "Why would anyone?" "Exactly, officer gordon." "Gerry, I think we're gonna have to take you" "Down to the precinct... you're raising a lot of questions" "That need clearing up in a more formal setting." "Well, you can't do this..." "Sh-sh-sh-shush." "As of this moment, this is an official gcpd investigation." "You, sir, will cooperate or face arrest." "Would you mind going through the, uh, staff records" "While I take gerry, here, downtown for a chat?" "Will do, detective." "Sir?" "Jimmy." "Butch." "Good to see you." "Come on." "Like old times, huh?" "All we need is a bottle of applejack." "What happened, man?" "In my head, it's..." "We're still kids, chasing girls in harlow park." "Yeah." "We caught a couple of hot ones, huh?" "Especially me." "Thanks for meeting with me." "What did you tell your boss-lady?" "I suggested I reach out to you." "She agreed." "Talk some sense into me?" "It's a new dawn." "Yeah, like that." "She's not wrong, you know?" "City's changing." "You really want falcone's job?" "Since we were kids, I love you like a brother." "I love you, too." "Always." "You know that." "I do, I do." "That's why I trust you." "And that's why I say to you with love..." "Fish is doomed." "There's no way she gets the chair." "It ain't gonna happen." "She's a smart cookie, but she's" "Overreaching." "I mean, come on, butch, without" "You and your crew, what's she got?" "Very little." "Everybody knows it." "You know it." "Maybe." "What's it gonna take to make you make a move?" "What are you offering?" "Name it." "Drop fish, come over to us." "The club... all the businesses attached... they're yours." "That's day one." "A welcome bonus." "What else you want?" "That's a good question." "Let me think it over." "Yeah." "Hey, brother." "Don't think too long, huh?" "Detective bullock." "Wait here." "Penguin." "It's good to see you." "What are you guys doing?" "Old friend." "Thank goodness you're here." "There's been some silly mistake." "Looks like it." "Unless you irritated someone important..." "You didn't do that, did you?" "Me?" "Of course not." "You sure?" "Examine your soul, penguin." "Wait!" "Don't go." "Please, sir, I-I beg of you." "My patron, don maroni, is obviously" "Unaware of my predicament." "A simple phone call would" "Resolve things, I'm sure." "But, see, I like having you here." "'cause I can sit at my desk" "And look at you." "It's soothing." "Like a bonsai tree." "What's a bonsai tree?" "♪ ♪" "So..." "Did you see our friend?" "I saw him." "And?" "Eh." "I'm working him." "He's a stubborn cuss, that one." "Just give him a little time." "Time, hmm?" "Okay." "He can have time." "Yeah." "I'm optimistic." "Good." "All right, doctor," "Pretend I'm an ignoramus." "Shouldn't be too hard, hmm?" "Explain to me this whole crazy electric needle business." "When a real doctor like you does it," "What's it supposed to do?" "Electroshock therapy is a common procedure" "For mood and behavior alteration." "Like mind control?" "Of a sort." "Blue sky experimentation on humans" "Is considered unethical," "So we know very little of the hard science." "Okay." "But skilled" "Surgeons can elicit very specific responses." "Uh-huh." "But those inmates" "Weren't treated by a skilled surgeon." "You sure about that?" "There are no" "Skilled surgeons amongst the inmates." "Or the staff." "You're a skilled surgeon." "What..." "we've been over this." "I haven't opened a body since med school." "I'm just messing with you." "I don't think you're the man behind this." "No, you're not the type to break rules." "Too scared of authority." "But you're hiding something." "What is it?" "Well, everybody's hiding something." "Don't play tag." "You're right, detective." "I am afraid of authority." "And the things I'm hiding?" "I'll never tell you." "Sounds heavy." "Heavy?" "Yes." "And if you know what's good for you," "You won't dig any deeper." "All right." "I don't want to hit any power lines." "Don't have to tell me twice." "No digging." "Unless, of course," "It has something to do with the case at hand." "Nothing." "Oh." "Great, thank you." "Oh, you poor thing." "You look so pale." "Any joy?" "Not so far." "The files seem to be incomplete." "I'm wondering if there's more in the basement." "Blueprint says there's a records office down there." "Oh, the basement's closed off." "Unsafe chemicals." "Nobody's been down there for ten years." "Do you know the way down there?" "All right, suppose you had to pick out" "One member of your staff as the culprit." "Who would it be?" "It wasn't a staff member." "Whatever." "Just the first face that pops to your mind." "Nobody." "They're good people." "I know them well." "They've all been with me for more than five years." "We all came to arkham together." "Th..." "Wait." "Hold that." "You just saw someone." "Who was it?" "Oh." "No, she couldn't.." "She?" "Who?" "What's that?" "Everybody's in their cell." "Dorothy." "Jim, hi." "What's up?" "Hi, leslie." "We're going on an adventure" "To the basement." "Oh." "Well, that sounds fun." "Can I come?" "No." "But..." "Dr. Thompkins, what did I tell you earlier?" "You should go home." "Why?" "What's wrong?" "Nothing's wrong." "Go home." "I don't understa..." "Oh." "Whoa!" "You okay?" "I need you to find the main entry guard," "Tell him to hit lockdown," "Then get out of the building, quick." "Okay," "Hit lockdown." "Get out." "Will do." " Yeah." " Jim, listen," "Dorothy duncan isn't staff." "She's an inmate." "I know." "Get over here now." "Leslie!" "Guard!" "Guard!" "Help!" "Dr. Thompkins." "Jim, behind you." "Men!" "Men!" "What the hell" "Do you think you're playing at?" "!" "Go back in your cells" "Right now!" "You hear me?" "That's an order!" "Remember, I'm a vegan..." "no butter." "Yeah, yeah." "Hi." "Hi." "I-is this..." "Is jim gordon there?" "Yes, he is." "But I'm sorry, jim is kind of busy right now." "Can I take a message?" "No." "No, that's okay." "I..." "Who is this?" "I'm a friend of jim's." "Who's that?" "Go to hell!" "M.E.'s got her in the morgue." "When dorothy duncan was a 16-year-old nursing student," "She killed five kids with poison candy..." "For homework, she said." "She's spent over half her life at arkham." "When the asylum closed, there was chaos." "She must have just hunkered down in the basement" "Until it reopened." "Forensics is sweeping the basement level" "Looking for her lair." "Poor soul." " What was she trying to do?" " Who knows?" "Maybe she was just trying to find a cure for her own madness." "She was crazy." "Enough said." "It's good to see you, jim." "And you got a win, huh?" "Still fighting'." "Nice work." "Yeah, I don't think my boss is gonna see it that way." "He's working for the king of all cheese grinders." "It's a crying shame, cap..." "we need to get him back on the job." "You know I'd bring you back here in a second..." "If I could." "I know." "It's all good, captain." "You do look spiffy in the uniform." "Yeah, if spiffy means dorky." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "How about a drink for old times' sake?" "Sounds good." "Penguin."
