"Bruce, your father was a true stoic." "He kept his best self hidden." " Your father was a good man." " But even good men have secrets." "You have a hard head, James, just like your father." "Gotham is on a knife edge." "But I won't let it fall apart without a fight." "ESSEN:" "Just got wind of three attacks on Falcone businesses... in different parts of town." "It's Maroni."

"NEWSMAN [ON TV]:" "The gang war rages on here in Gotham." "No one knows what set this turf war off... but it is commonly believed to be the result of the longtime power struggle... between Salvatore Maroni and Carmine Falcone." "Longtime enemies, these men have often come to blows..." "[NEWSMAN CONTINUES SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]" "ALFRED:" "Still looking for secrets, are we, sir?" "Or just breaking stuff?" "Secrets." "ALFRED:" "Why don't I...?" "Whole city's going doolally around us." "I mean, there's a bloody war on the streets... and you're here worrying about your poor dad." "Yes, I am." "If your father had a secret life, which I hasten to add he didn't..." "I'd know about it, wouldn't I?" "A sober, diligent man, he was." "Never out gallivanting." "Home every night like clockwork, working in this very room." "Yes, I remember." "I wasn't allowed to disturb him while he was working." " Nobody was." " Classical music, he would play, for hours." "That's right." "Mom and I would read books or play board games until he was done." "I remember." "I tried to sneak in to see him, but the door was locked." " Was the door always locked, Alfred?" " Yeah, I suppose so, when he was working." "Why, though?" " Why lock the door?" " That's what doors are for, isn't it?" "It's in here." "It's in this room." "My father's secret."

" Yes, sir." "Katz, Griffin." " Word of advice, Katz." "I'm a dead duck around here." "Brass are gonna fire me as soon as this gang war cools off." "So don't salute me." "Makes you look like a rube." " Hi." "LESLIE:" "Detective." " Dr. Thompkins." " Jim." "Thanks for coming to see me." "It's good to see you looking so well." "I am well." "Much better." "Yes, you are." "This is your last checkup." "You are all healed, physically." "But you need to get some trauma counseling." "Doc, I'm happy." "I am happy to be alive." "Which is why, Jim, I didn't wanna leave without saying thank you properly." "Thank you for saving my life." "I was glad to do it." "LESLIE:" "Ms. Kean." "Trauma counseling, like, yesterday." "I have several recommendations for you." " Really, doc, I'm fine." " You're not fine." "After what you've been through, nobody would be fine." "Fine." "If you will be my counselor." "And we do it at my place." "No." "I have some trauma training, but it's not my area of focus." "I like you." "Okay?" "I can talk to you." "Please." "Okay." " Deal." " Thank you." "Hmm?" "COP:" "All right, last warning to all of you:" "don't be that guy." "Hey, Jim, did you hear the news?" "Don Falcone just got hit." "Jim." " What?" " Falcone got hit." "Twenty minutes ago." "Maroni's boys blew up his car." " Wait, he's dead?" " No." "He's at the hospital." "But he'll be dead soon enough." "Essen said City Hall and the bigwigs okayed the hit." "They switched their support to Maroni." "Maroni?" "That hothead?" "They think he can run this city?" "[CELL PHONE RINGING]" "Someone had to go." "This war has been bad for business." "Hello?"

"Maroni's men will be here any minute." "Yes, I imagine so." "Heh." "Mustn't stay long." "I knew I'd regret it if I didn't say goodbye to you in person." "It was me, old friend." "I did this to you." "I started the war." "From the day I met you, I was planning your end." "I'm sorry it has to be in this... squalid little corner, but..." "[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]" "Why?" "Nothing personal, I assure you, sir." "You have been a wise mentor and a good friend." "But business must come first." "I'm gonna take your place, old man." "I'm gonna be the king of Gotham." "[CHUCKLING]" "You?" "Never." "You're going to burn in hell." "I do worry about that." "But you first, old friend." "You first." "Nobody move." "[GRUNTS]" " Walk away." " Shut up." "You're both under arrest for attempted murder." "Didn't you hear?" "Falcone is out." "By official decree." "Everyone agreed." "I heard." "So release me, Jim." "Get on the winning side." "Winning side, my ass." "Maroni's a fool." "He can't replace me." "A thousand rivals will jump up to challenge him." "There'll be civil war." "If I die now, Gotham falls apart." "I agree." "But can you turn things around?" "Can you take back control?" "Of course." "Two days at my safe house." "I need two days to make some moves." "Then I'll skin Maroni and those disloyal scum like rabbits." "OSWALD:" "Wake up, Napoleon." "Maroni's louts are minutes away from coming here and cutting your throat." "And the thing is, Jim, they aren't very fond of me either." "So seriously, you need to uncuff me." "Jim?" " Jim, where the hell did you run off to?" " Harv, I'm in the hospital with Falcone." " There's nobody here." " No kidding." "What are you doing there?" "You gotta get out." "They'll be coming back to finish him off." "Yeah." "Any moment now." " Unless I get him out of here." " Jim, Jim, Jim." " I could use some help." " No way." "Are you nuts?" "He's a bad man, but he's the best bad man we got." "If Falcone loses control, Maroni's too wild to run Gotham." " There'll be anarchy." " Yeah, probably." " But Falcone already lost control." " And he'll get it back." "Listen, you're all twisted over what happened to Barbara." " You're not thinking straight." " Yeah." "Maybe." "But I'm done in this town anyhow." "What do I have to lose?" "Your life." "Huh?" "How about your life?" "What the hell are you doing here?" "I thought the fix was in with you guys." "[CHUCKLES]" " Can you walk?" " If I have to." "Let's get you out." "I'll take you to your safe house." "My friend, you are making a terrible mistake." "I'm doing this for the city, not you." "You're the least worst option." "If I didn't think you could take back control, I'd let you die." " Just so we're clear." " We're clear." "You can't leave me here." "Maroni's men will kill me." " Possible." " No." "No, you arrested us." "We are in your custody." " That's true." " You owe me a favor, Jim." "You owe me." " Damn it." "LOEB:" "James Gordon?" "Detective Gordon?" "Don't kill them." "Morning, fellas." "What can I help you with?" "Yes, Gordon." "As usual, wrong place, wrong time." "Go." "Now." "Why?" "So these men can kill Carmine Falcone?" "I have no knowledge of that." "Go." "That's an order." "You're a disgrace, Loeb." "I hope to see you behind bars very soon or dead." " Whichever." " Hope?" "It's for losers, Jim." "He's all yours." "[GRUNTS]" "Jim, Jim, don't shoot." "It's me." "We gotta go." "There are ambulances in the basement." "Where's your man?" "Uh..." "About that." " We gotta take Penguin and Gilzean too." " Penguin and Gilzean?" "I arrested them for attempted murder." "They're in my custody." "Ugh!" "I don't even wanna argue with you." "Come on, let's go."

"I'm talking about this, now." "This..." "This is the dream." "I'm gonna wake up, and he's still alive." "And he's coming for me." "FISH:" "I thought for sure you were dead." "Let me look at you."

"It's in my sock." "If you get the chance, take some of them with us." "I'll try." " Hey, you." " Selina, what are you doing here?" " Chilling." "How about you?" " Kind ofjammed up." "Yeah." "That's too bad." "Oh." "That's mime for "Help us out here," and totally blow the coolest gig ever." "Just because we kind of sort of know each other?" "Right?" "[SIGHS]" "Hello, fellas." "Hmm." "Carmine." "Penguin?" "Nothing to share?" "Well, I have a little something." "I just made a sweet deal with Maroni." "He just told me I could have all my territories back... and all I have to do in return... is give him Carmine's head." "Uh, Fish, I need to go lie down." "What did you do to that poor soul, you sadist?" "I assure you..." "You will die a slow, painful death on account of Butch." "You too, Carmine." "You." "We'll keep it simple." "And you?" "We're cool." "Any questions?" "How you gonna kill them?" "I love this girl." "[FISH LAUGHS]" "BARBARA:" "Jason saw right through me." "He knew me instantly." "Like I was naked." "(Scar)'" "But thrilling." "And aren't all the best guys a little scary?" "I was way more scared of Jim Gordon, first date we went on." "So butch and stern." "That type, they often have a bad temper." "Hmm." "But Jim was a sweetie." "Never laid a finger on me." "It's kind of surprising." "Does he ever hit you?" "Me?" "No." "Why?" "Why would he hit anyone?" "Any woman?" "You know, out of passion." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to pry." "Only, I heard you and Jim were dating." "No." "Uh, yes." "We've been on a few dates." "I'm sorry." "I didn't think that you knew." "If that makes you uncomfortable in any way..." "No, don't be silly." "I, uh..." "I'm happy for you." "He's one of the good guys." "Yeah, he is." "Hey, you hungry?" "FISH:" "So there he is." "Fish, you mysterious, crazy, gorgeous killer, you." "I love you." "[FISH CHUCKLES]" "This..." "This is delicious." "Finally." " You're hard to kill, old man." " No." "Your people are second-rate." "[SCOFFS]" "Ms. Mooney, if I may, a brief word." "I know my life is forfeit." "I speak not for my sake but yours." "Because after all, I still love and respect you." "Kill me if you must, but keep Falcone alive." "As soon as he's dead, Maroni has no use for you." "You are simply a threat." "He will kill you." "Oh!" "You think?" "OSWALD:" "Why would he need another boss in town?" " Another rival?" " That's where you're wrong, smart guy." "A, she's not a rival, because she's not a boss." "She's an underboss." "An underboss takes orders." "I don't take orders." "I know that." "We're cool." "Relax." " I'm relaxed." " I don't think you are, babes." "Please don't call me "babes."" "You see?" "Not relaxed." "Babes?" "Really?" "It's a term of endearment." "It means I like you." "Fine, I misspoke." "You're not an underboss and you're not a babe." "You tell me what you are." "What we are, Sal... are partners." "Whatever you want." "Partners." "I'm Partner Number 1, and you're Partner Number 2." "That's the deal, right?" "I'm number one, and you are...?" " Number two." "MARONI:" "There you go." "Simple math." "One, two, babes." "Oops." "Sorry." "That's the last time, I swear." "Guys, can you feel the buzz in the air?" "That's victory." "Redemption." "Power."

"So I did." "I just told them whatever came into my head." "And what came into your head?" "You know, just stupid kid stuff, I guess." "Like..." "My mom used to call me her little piggy when I was little." "They threw away my posters." "Never nurtured my self-esteem." "Just slowly, steadily... grinding away at my soul." "Trying to make me disappear." "That's not kid stuff." "To be fair to them... they simply never understood me." "They have no clue who I am."
