"1x24" " Epitaph" "♪ Beware ♪" "♪ beware ♪" "♪ beware ♪" "♪ beware the bat ♪" "Alfred:" "Previously on Beware the Batman..." "Harvey:" "Why do you think I brought the great Dane Lisslow, head of my Special Crimes Unit?" "To Harvey Dent, Gotham's next Mayor." " You're backing me?" " Mayor?" "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." "Harvey:" "When I was a boy, we used to eat our dinner on an old door propped up between two chairs." "My father, who worked two jobs, never dared dreamed that one day his son Harvey could be Mayor of Gotham City." "Well, dad, your son Harvey is about to make that never dared dream come true!" "[Crowd cheering]" "At a rally last week, he said his family ate off an ironing board." "Whatever gets the votes." "I was wondering where you were." "Working the crowd." "Gotta keep our boy safe." "We still on for sailing this weekend?" "Actually, I have a favor to ask." "Would it be okay if I brought my son Glen?" "He keeps bugging me to meet you." "Sure, but I thought he was in Bludhaven with your ex-wife." "You're wondering how I know that." "No, I assumed you'd run a background on me." "Smart." "The kid means the world to me, and since, well..." "I mentioned we were friends." "Absolutely." "I'll even let him steer." "How's it looking out there?" "I don't know what's worse, the hot air coming out of Dent or the BO coming off this crowd." "Think he's gonna win?" "Since Grange officially stepped down, probably yes." "Stay here." "I need to make sure my guys aren't on a donut break." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Now, as much as I love to hear myself talk," "I do want to bring someone out here who has believed in me from the start." "Gotham's very own son and my best friend in the world," "Mr. Bruce Wayne." "[Crowd cheering]" "Thank you, Harvey." "My father, Thomas Wayne, believed in strong leadership." "Bruce:" "He believed that, in their hearts, people were basically good." "But the challenges of life can take their toll." "Debt, unemployment..." "Batman, what are you doing here?" "Dent..." "Bruce:" "Vigilantes such as Batman think they have the answer." "Meet fist with fist." "Mayor Harvey Dent will continue the work district attorney Harvey Dent began." "Bringing Batman to justice once and for..." "[People gasping and screaming]" "No!" "[Grunting]" " Who are you?" " I'm Batman." "[Sighing]" "[Both struggling]" "[Sighing]" "Gordon:" "It's been six hours, your divers find anything?" "No." "Why would he do it?" "Why would Batman kill Wayne?" "No one is dead yet." "Let's give it more time before we make that call." "[Phone ringing]" "Come on." "Come on." "Pick up, Katana." "Tatsu:" "That's my second pass." "Still no sign of him." "Bruce is in peak physical condition." "He's alive, I can feel it." "Alfred, whoever was in that Batman suit, he knew my moves before I did." "What are you trying to say, Tatsu?" "That Batman shot Bruce Wayne?" "You and I both know that is impossible." "[Phone ringing]" "It's just Barbara." "She's been calling for hours." "What is it?" "[Phone continues ringing]" "[Sighing]" "He's freezing." "Hypothermia." "And this shoulder is in need of repair." "No time for a hospital." "Now we wait." "We don't know yet, Barbara." "But thank you for not believing what they're saying." "Batman is not a killer." "Stay by your computer." "We'll be in touch." "Katana, look at this." "His block, kenpo." "His kick is muay thai." "And the throw, taekwondo." "He's mixing styles on the fly." "That's how he predicted my moves, he knew them." "Yes, but to do that requires a mastery of each discipline of which there are hundreds throughout the world." "Bruce:" "Thousands, actually." "Current pulled me a a couple miles." "Close enough to the cave to swim in." "You should be resting." "Alfred:" "It appears what we're dealing with here is someone as skilled as..." "Bruce:" "Batman." " You need to be in a real hospital." " No." "Batman's imposter needs to think he succeeded." "That means no hospital." "And I stay dead." "Why?" "If Batman thinks I'm dead, he won't be afraid." "Afraid of what?" "Making his next move." "Hey, O'Neill, hand me a "Bear Claw"." "And not the one you picked at." "[Footsteps approaching]" "[Stammering] It's him!" "It's the Batman." "Officer:" "Freeze." "Drop your weapons." "Gotham City belongs to the Batman now." "I'm the law." "You've been warned." "A single twig breaks." "But a bundle of twigs is strong." "Bruce Wayne was not a man who accepted the help of others easily." "Yet he was surrounded by those who loved him." "Our strength will keep the memory of his spirit alive." "Journalist:" "Commissioner Gordon, are there any plans to continue the search?" "Whose decision was it to go ahead with a funeral without a body?" "It was a decison made by Mr. Pennyworth and the Wayne estate." "Are you any closer to bringing Batman to justice?" "I'll answer that." "Bruce Wayne wasn't the only victim of this crime." "For all we know, Batman was after me." "And that is scary." "Which is why, with Commissioner Gordon's help, we are forming a joint commission between Gotham PD and the SCU taskforce to turn Gotham upside down and bring the Batman to justice." "We're also reaching out to the public for help as well." "Now we aren't saying go out there and hunt for Batman on your own." "He's too dangerous." "[Vehicle approaching]" "But if you have any information..." "Am I late?" "Why does this keep happening to me?" "Open your eyes." "He's after all of us." "He took the bait." "On his way to you now in a black hearse." "[Groaning]" "Bruce:" "Humpty Dumpty, that's where I've seen that gun." "Dumpty used one just like it when we fought at the armory." "I'll get the serial number and check the manufacturer." "Found the owner of the hearse." "Banker funeral home." "They reported it stolen four days ago." "Same day Alfred sent out the announcements for Bruce Wayne's funeral." "What are you doing?" "I'm mapping a thermal overlay over the CCTV footage of the crash." "The flames are blocking the view of the scene." "But if I can invert the heat signature..." " There." " Hello, dirt bag." " Is that?" " A footprint." "Those calculations suggest our imposter is roughly 6'4", 250 pounds." "What?" "You recognize something?" "Alfred:" "I found our gun." "Serial numbers match." "And according to the Gotham PD database, it never left the armory." "Come on!" "Katana said she was gonna be in touch." "Why don't you do something?" "Ring, beep, ah-oo-ga." "Something!" "[Door opening and closing]" "Dad!" "I thought you weren't gonna be home tonight." "I'm not." "Just grabbing a quick shower, then it's back out." "Any leads?" "Anything I can help with?" "Sweetheart, I appreciate that." "But for the next hour all I care about is hot water on sore muscles." "And yes, I know how girly that sounds and I don't care." "[Door closing]" "Someone's missing." "You're clear." "Still think you're gonna need me in there." "Batman: [Over radio] No, this one I need to do on my own." "[Switches flipping]" "We got a tip you were coming, Batman." "On your knees." "[Beeping]" "[All groaning]" "[Gun firing]" "[All moaning]" "Katana, I'm in the northwest corner of the armory." "I need an exit." "Katana: [Over radio] On it." "Officer:" "He went down this way." "Come on." "[Guns firing]" "[Beeping]" "Come on." "I know a way out of here." "Why are you doing this?" "Wayne was my friend." "You didn't kill him." "I want to help you find who did." "This armory was built during the civil war." " There are catacombs..." " Running beneath." "Militias and civilians used to hide here during intense shelling." "I thought they'd been sealed." "Dent opened them again so we could store SCU equipment securely." "[Phone ringing]" "Barbara, now is really not a good time." " I said I'd call you." " I couldn't wait." " I know who bad Batman is." " What?" "Who?" "Since Dent formed the SCU, we've been keeping our gear down here." "Dent's paranoid that if Gordon found out the firepower we have, he'd lose it." "Batman:" "You never answered my question." "Why are you doing this?" "Dane:" "I told you, Wayne was a friend." "Then why did you kill him?" "[Gun clicking]" "When did you know?" "I have to hand it to you, Batman." "What gave me away?" "As Dent's second-in-command, you were the only other person with access to the evidence room." "The Batman imposter left behind prints that put him at 6' 4", 250 pounds." "Two hundred fifty-five, actually." "I assumed you'd find a way to get me alone." "That way you could kill me with no one seeing and come out a hero." "Yeah, that was the plan." "What I don't understand is why." "Does it really matter now?" "Harvey:" "What's going on?" "I was told Batman attacked the armory." " Where's Lisslow?" " We don't know, Sir." "We heard a shot." "We believe it came from the catacombs." "He's got Dane." "You like the suit?" "It's modeled after yours." "Wouldn't be a fair fight unless we're evenly matched." "[Grunts]" "[Batarang swishing]" "[Yelling]" "[Both grunting]" "Why did you kill Wayne?" "Why are you framing me?" "It doesn't matter now." "He's won." "And I've lost everything." "Who's won?" "Who are you talking about?" "Haven't you figured that out?" "Deathstroke." "Talk." "When you defeated Deathstroke on the Gotham skytram, he realized taking you out wouldn't be as easy as he thought." "So he devised a new plan." "Kill Wayne, frame me." "But he needed a patsy in case things went wrong again." "Someone as skilled as Batman." "He knew I had the training." " He also knew I'd never do it." " So why did you?" "Because he took my son!" "Harvey:" "Dane!" "Are you in there?" "Can you hear me?" "Harvey, help me!" "Batman is gonna kill me." "Get this door open now!" "I'm not gonna let Glen die." "What are you doing?" "Deathstroke doesn't care if I die as long as you go with me." "[Firing]" "Freeze, Batman." "Where's Lisslow?" "Dent, get back!" "[Gasping]" "[Moaning]" "Dane." "Don't talk." "You're safe now." "I'll get you home." "Once again, repeating our top story." "Fires still rage at Gotham's armory after last night's deadly attack by Batman." "It has been confirmed that the attacked did claim the life of" "SCU agent Dane Lisslow whose body was recovered this morning." "Mayoral hopeful district attorney Harvey Dent was also seriously wounded in the attack, but is expected to recover." "A city-wide manhunt is currently underway for Batman." "A million dollar bounty has been placed on his head." "The highest ever offered for a terrorist." "I believe that's enough of that." "Bruce Wayne is dead, Batman a terrorist, and Deathstroke alive." "Or Lisslow was lying and he acted alone." "It's possible." "I vetted Lisslow myself." "IAFIs, NSA, Interpol, he came up clean." "None of this makes a lick of sense." "[Phone ringing]" "It's Barbara." "She's been running down anything she can find on Lisslow and his son like you asked." "Put her on the batcomputer, but cut our camera so she can't see me." " Katana, are you there?" " We're here, Barbara." "Were you able to find out if Lisslow's son is all right?" "Far as I can tell, Lisslow doesn't have a son." " What did you find?" " The truth." "Whoever was in that batsuit, it wasn't Dane Lisslow because Dane Lisslow doesn't exist."
