"That was a misunderstanding." "What happened next?" "Oswald Cobblepot and two of his associates arrived, rendered Officer Vargas and Captain Barnes unconscious." "Cobblepot and his associates escaped with Galavan." "Are you 100% sure that he won't beat this and walk free again?" "HARVEY:" "You then pursued Cobblepot and his men, correct?" "Yes, but I was unable to locate them." "You're a man of conscience, Jim." "You'll regret this." "I have many regrets." "This won't be top of the list."
