"You know, as our new DA, you might wanna figure out where your jurisdiction ends." "I'm talking about the kind of city that idolizes a masked vigilante." "Gotham City is proud of an ordinary citizen standing up for what's right." "Gotham needs heroes like you, elected officials not a man who thinks he's above the law." "Exactly." "Who appointed the Batman?" "We did." "All of us who stood by and let scum take control of our city." "NATASCHA:" "But this is a democracy, Harvey." "DENT:" "When their enemies were at the gates the Romans would suspend democracy and appoint one man to protect the city." "It wasn't considered an honor, it was considered a public service." "Harvey, the last man that they appointed to protect the republic was named Caesar..." "...and he never gave up his power." "Okay, fine." "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." "Look, Whoever the Batman is, he doesn't wanna do this for the rest of his life." "How could he?" "Batman is looking for someone to take up his mantle." "NATASCHA:" "Someone like you, Mr. Dent?" "Maybe." "If I'm up to it." "What if Harvey Dent is the Caped Crusader?" "Hm?" "If I were sneaking out every night, someone would've noticed by now." "Well, I'm sold, Dent, and I'm gonna throw you a fundraiser." "That's nice of you Bruce, but I'm not up for re-election for three years." "No, you don't understand." "One fundraiser with my pals you'll never need another cent." "[METAL DETECTORS BEEPING AND WHINING]" "What the hell is this?" "As you're all aware, one of our deposits was stolen." "A relatively small amount, 68 million." "Who's stupid enough to steal from us?" "Two-bit wackjob, wears a cheap purple suit and makeup." "He's not the problem." "He's a nobody." "The problem is our money being tracked by the cops." "Thanks to Mr. Maroni's well-placed sources we know that police have indeed identified our banks using marked bills and are planning to seize your funds today." "And since the enthusiastic new DA has put all my competitors out of business..." "..." "I'm your only option." "MARONI:" "So, what are you proposing?" "LAU:" "Moving all deposits to one secure location, not a bank." "Where, then?" "No one can know but me." "If the police were to gain leverage over one of you everyone's money would be at stake." "What stop them getting to you?" "I go to Hong Kong, far from Dent's jurisdiction and the Chinese will not extradite one of their own." "MARONI:" "How soon can you move the money?" "LAU:" "I already have." "For obvious reasons, I couldn't wait for your permission." "Rest assured, your money is safe." "[JOKER LAUGHING]" "Oh, hee-hee, aha." "Ha, ooh, hee, ha, ha-ha."

"A guy like me" " Look, listen." "I know why you choose to have your little, ahem group-therapy sessions in broad daylight." "I know why you're afraid to go out at night." "The Batman." "See, Batman has shown Gotham your true colors, unfortunately." "Dent, he's just the beginning." "And as for the television's so-called plan Batman has no jurisdiction." "He'll find him and make him squeal." "I know the squealers when I see them and...." "CHECHEN:" "What do you propose?" "It's simple." "We, uh, kill the Batman."

"GAMBOL:" "I'm putting the word out." "Five hundred grand for this clown dead." "A million alive, so I can teach him some manners first." "All right." "So, listen, why don't you give me a call when you wanna start taking things a little more seriously?" "Here's my card." "Mm-mm." "You're a hard man to reach." "Lau's halfway to Hong Kong." "If you'd have asked, I could have taken his passport." "I told you to keep me in the loop." "All that was left in the vaults were marked bills." "They knew we were coming." "As soon as your office got involved" "My office?" "You're sitting down there with scum like Wuertz and Ramirez and you're talking" "Oh, yeah Gordon." "I almost had your rookie cold on a racketeering beat." "Don't try and cloud the fact that clearly Maroni's got people in your office, Dent." "We need Lau back but the Chinese won't extradite a national under any circumstances." "If I get him to you, can you get him to talk?" "I'll get him to sing." "We're going after the Mob's life savings." "Things will get ugly." "I knew the risk when I took this job, Lieutenant." "How will you get him back, any--?" "He does that." "Our Chinese friends left town before I could tell them the deal was off." "Well, I'm sure that you've always wanted to go to Hong Kong." "What's wrong with a phone call?" "I think Mr. Lau deserves a more personal touch." "FOX:" "Now, for high-altitude jumps you're going to need oxygen and stabilizers." "Well, I must say, compared to your usual requests jumping out of an airplane is pretty straightforward." "BRUCE:" "What about getting back into the plane?" "I'd recommend a good travel agent." "Without it landing." "Now, that's more like it, Mr. Wayne." "The CIA had a program back in the '60s for getting their people out of hot spots called Sky Hook." "We could look into that." "Yeah." "Okay." "Now...." "Hardened Kevlar plates over titanium-dipped tri-weave fibers for flexibility." "You'll be lighter, faster, more agile." "Perhaps you should read the instructions first?" "Yeah." "Now, there is a tradeoff." "Separation of the plates makes you more vulnerable to knives and gunfire." "We wouldn't wanna make things too easy, now, would we?" "How will it hold up against dogs?" "We talking rottweilers or Chihuahuas?" "Should do fine against cats." "I found one in Arizona." "A very nice man said he could have it up and running in a week and he'd take the cash." "What about the flight crew?" "South Korean smugglers." "They run flights into Pyongyang, below radar the whole way." "Did you think of an alibi?" "Oh, yes." "I believe this is your plane, sir." "You look tired, Alfred." "You'll be all right without me?" "If you can tell me the Russian for "apply your own bloody suntan lotion."" "Yo, Gambol, somebody here for you." "They say they've just killed the Joker." "BODYGUARD:" "They brought the body." "So, dead, that's 500." "How about alive?" "Hm?" "You wanna know how I got these scars?" "My father was a drinker and a fiend." "And one night, he goes off crazier than usual." "Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself." "He doesn't like that not one bit." "So, me watching he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it." "He turns to me and he says:" ""Why so serious?"" "He comes at me with the knife." ""Why so serious?"" "He sticks the blade in my mouth." ""Let's put a smile on that face."" "And...." "Why so serious?" "Now our operation is small but there is a lot of potential for aggressive expansion." "So which of you fine gentlemen would like to join our team?" "Oh." "There's only one spot open right now, so we're gonna have tryouts." "Make it fast." "MAN:" "Welcome to Hong Kong, Mr. Fox."

"No, I really came to tell you that our business deal has to be put on hold." "You see, we can't afford to be seen to do business with whatever it is you're accused of being." "I'm sure a businessman of your stature will understand." "I think, Mr. Fox, a simple phone call might have sufficed." "Mr. Wayne didn't want you to think that he was deliberately wasting your time." "Just accidentally wasting it." "That's very good, Mr. Lau." ""Accidentally." Very good." "Hey, sir." "There's a better view from the peak tram." "How's the view from LSI Holdings?" "Restricted."

"You mind if I borrow Rachel?" "Lieutenant, that joker card pinned to the body?" "Forensics found three sets of DNA." "Any matches?" "All three." "The DNA belongs to Judge Surrillo, Harvey Dent and Commissioner Loeb." "The Joker's telling us who he's targeting." "Get a unit over to Surrillo's house." "Tell Wuertz to find Dent." "Get them both into protective custody." "Where's the Commissioner?" "City hall." "Seal the building." "No one in or out till I get there." "Got it." "Gordon." "What are you up to?" "We're secure." "I want a floor-by-floor search of the entire building." "Sorry Sir, We believe the Joker's made a threat against your life." "These are dangerous people, Judge." "Yea, but you're not giving me an awful lot of information." "Even we don't know where you're going." "Take the envelope, get in, open it." "It'll tell you where you're headed." "You can not leave me alone with these people." "The whole Mob's after you and you're worried about these guys?" "Yeah, compared to this, the Mob doesn't scare me." "Gordon, you're unlikely to discover this for yourself, so take my word, the police Commissioner earns a lot of threats." "I found the appropriate response to these situations a long time ago." "Them gunning for you makes you see things clearly." "Yeah, I bet." "Yeah." "It makes you think about things you couldn't stand losing about who you wanna spend the rest of your life with." "That's a pretty big commitment." "Well, not if the Mob has their way." "You get to explain to my wife why I'm late for dinner, Lieutenant." "Sir, the joker card had traces of your DNA on it." "Don't do that." "All right." "Let's be serious, then." "Okay." "What's your answer?" "I don't have an answer." "How'd they get my DNA?" "Somebody with access to your office or your house must have lifted a tissue or a glass" " Wait!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Well, I guess no answer is a no." "Harvey." "It's someone else, isn't it?" "Harvey." "Just tell me it's not Wayne." "The guy's a complete f" "What are you doing?" "GORDON:" "Oh, shit." "[LOEB COUGHING]" "GORDON:" "Get a medic!" "They've come for him." "We made it." "Stay hidden." "[SHOTGUN BLAST]" "Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen." "We are tonight's entertainment." "I only have one question:" "Where is Harvey Dent?" "You know where Harvey is?" "You know who he is?" "THUG:" "Hands up, pretty boy." "[THUG GRUNTING]" "Do you know where I can find Harvey?" "I need to talk to him about something." "Just something little, huh?" "No." "What's going on out there?" "Wayne!" "Oh, thank God, you've got a panic room." "MAN:" "Hey, wait" "Oh, you gotta be kidding me." "You know, I'll settle for his loved ones." "We're not intimidated by thugs." "You know you remind me of my father." "I hated my father." "RACHEL:" "Okay, stop." "Well, hello, beautiful." "You must be Harvey's squeeze." "Hm?" "And you are beautiful." "You look nervous." "Is it the scars?" "You wanna know how I got them?" "Come here." "Hey." "Look at me." "So I had a wife." "She was beautiful, like you who tells me I worry too much who tells me I ought to smile more who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks." "Hey." "One day they carve her face." "And we have no money for surgeries." "She can't take it." "I just wanna see her smile again." "Hm?" "I just want her to know that I don't care about the scars." "So I stick a razor in my mouth and do this to myself." "And you know what?" "She can't stand the sight of me." "She leaves." "Now I see the funny side." "Now I'm always smiling." "[LAUGHS]" "Got a little fight in you." "I like that." "BATMAN:" "Then you're gonna love me." "[GRUNTING]" "[BATMAN YELLS]" "Drop the gun." "Oh, sure." "You just take off your little mask and show us all who you really are." "Hm?" "Let her go." "Very poor choice of words." "[LAUGHS]" "[RACHEL SCREAMING]" "Are you all right?" "Let's not do that again." "Is Harvey okay?" "He's safe." "Thank you." "Jim, it's over." "As long as they don't get to Lau, we've cut off their funds." "The prosecution's over." "Nobody's standing up in front of a judge while judges and police Commissioners are getting blown away." "What about Dent?" "He's got any sense Dent's halfway to Mex" "DENT:" "So where do you keep your trash?" "You're due in court." "I need you alive long enough to get you on the record." "You can't protect me." "You can't even protect yourselves." "You refuse to cooperate, you're not coming back here, you go to County." "How long do you calculate you'll last in there?" "Targeting me won't get their money back." "I knew the Mob wouldn't go down without a fight but this is different." "They crossed a line." "You crossed the line first, Sir." "You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation." "And in their desperation, they turned to a man they didn't fully understand." "Criminals aren't complicated, Alfred." "We just need to figure out what he's after." "ALFRED:" "With respect, Master Wayne perhaps this is a man you don't fully understand either." "A long time ago, I was in Burma and my friends and I were working for the local government." "They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones but their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit." "So we went looking for the stones." "But in six months, we never met anyone who traded with him." "One day, I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine." "The bandit had been throwing them away." "So why steal them?" "Well, because he thought it was good sport." "Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money." "They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with." "Some men just wanna watch the world burn." "[VOICES SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]" "WOMAN:" "Your name, sir?" "JOKER:" "Eighth and Orchard." "You'll find Harvey Dent there." "BATMAN:" "Check the names." ""Richard Dent."" ""Patrick Harvey."" "Harvey Dent." "I need 10 minutes with the scene before your men contaminate it." "Us contaminate it?" "It's because of you these guys are dead" "Hey, Detective!" "Give us a minute, guys." "That's brick underneath." "Gonna take ballistics off a shattered bullet?" "No." "Fingerprints." "Whatever you're gonna do, do it fast." "Because we found his next target." "He's put it in tomorrow's paper." "I'm not sure you made it loud enough, Sir." "What can I do for you, Mr. Reese?" "You wanted me to do the diligence on the LSI Holdings deal again." "Well, I found some irregularities." "Their CEO is in police custody." "No, not with their numbers, with yours." "Applied Sciences." "Whole division of Wayne Enterprises just disappeared overnight." "I went down to the archives and I started pulling some old files." "Don't tell me you didn't recognize your baby out there pancaking cop cars on the evening news." "Now you got the entire RD Department burning through cash claiming it's related to cell phones for the Army?" "What are you building for him now, a rocket ship?" "I want 10 million dollars a year for the rest of my life." "Let me get this straight." "You think that your client..." "One of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands and your plan is to blackmail this person?" "Good luck." "Well" "Keep that." "FOX:" "This is your original scan." "Here it is re-engineered." "And there's the thumbprint he left when he pushed the round in the clip." "I'll get you a copy." "Mr. Wayne, did you reassign RD?" "Yeah." "Government telecommunications project." "I wasn't aware we had any government contracts." "Lucius, I'm playing this one pretty close to the chest." "Fair enough." "ENGEL:" "With no word from the Batman even as they mourn Commissioner Loeb these cops have to be wondering if the Joker will make good on his threat in the obituary column of The Gotham Times to kill the mayor." "I've checked all the databases." "There are four possibles." "Cross-reference the addresses." "Look for Parkside, overlooking the parade." "I got one." "Melvin White, 1502 Randolph Apartments." "Aggravated assault, moved to Arkham twice." "What do you got on the roof?" "We're tight, but frankly, there's a lot of windows up here." "Commissioner Loeb dedicated his life to law enforcement and to the protection of his community." "I remember when I first took office and I asked if he wanted to stay on as Commissioner." "And he said he would, provided I kept my politics out of his office." "Clearly he was not a man who minced words, nor should he have been." "A number of policies that he enacted as Commissioner were unpopular." "Policies that flooded my office with angry calls and letters...." "Who's that?" "What happened?" "They took our guns." "And our uniforms." "[TICKING]" "MAYOR:" "And as we recognize the sacrifice of this man we must remember that vigilance is the price of safety." "Stand by." "Honor guard." "Attention." "Port arms." "Ready!" "Aim!" "Fire!" "Ready!" "Aim!" "[TIMER DINGS]" "Ready!" "Aim!" "[CROWD SCREAMING]" "[GUNSHOTS]" "OFFICER:" "Stay down!" "Don't move!" "STEPHENS:" "Mr. Mayor." "Get him out of here." "I'll see you later." "Why are you going back?" "[GUNSHOTS]" "[CROWD SCREAMING]" "Get out of here." "Tell me what you know about the Joker." "[CHUCKLING]" "[ENGINE STARTS]" "No." "I'm sorry, Barbara." "Jimmy, go play with your sister." "Go ahead, honey." "STEPHENS:" "If there's anything we can do, anything you need we're here for you." "[BARBARA SOBBING]" "Shh." "BARBARA:" "Are you out there?" "Are you?" "You brought this craziness on us." "You did!" "You brought this on us!" "Switch it off, he ain't coming." "He doesn't wanna talk to us." "God help whoever he does wanna talk to." "[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]" "Can't we go someplace quieter?" "We can't hear each other talk." "What makes you think I wanna hear you talk?" "What?" "[GRUNTING]" "[CROWD SCREAMING]" "Yeah?" "MAN:" "Second." "Okay." "Harvey, where are you?" "DENT:" "Where are you?" "I'm where you should be, at Major Crimes." "I'm trying to deal with all of this mess." "Rachel." "Can I get the fingerprint analysis?" "Rachel." "Rachel, listen to me." "You're not safe there." "Oh, this is Gordon's unit." "Gordon's gone, Rachel." "RACHEL:" "He vouched for these men." "And he's gone." "The Joker's named you next." "God, is there someone, is there anyone in this town we can trust?" "Bruce." "We can trust Bruce Wayne." "No." "Rachel, c'mon, I know you're his friend, but" "Harvey, trust me." "Bruce's penthouse is now the safest place in the city." "Then you go straight there." "You don't tell anybody where you are going and I'll find you there." "I love you." "I want the Joker." "From one professional to another if you're trying to scare somebody, pick a better spot." "From this height, the fall wouldn't kill me." "I'm counting on it." "Huh!" "[SCREAMS]" "[BONE CRACKS] [MARONI YELLS]" "[MARONI WHEEZING]" "Where is he?" "I don't know where he is." "He found us." "He must have friends." "Friends?" "Have you met this guy?" "Someone knows where he is." "Nobody's gonna tell you nothing." "They're wise to your act." "You got rules." "The Joker, he's got no rules." "Nobody's gonna cross him for you." "If you want this guy, you got one way." "But you already know what that is." "Just take off that mask, let him come find you." "[GROWLS]" "Or you can let a couple more people get killed while you make up your mind." "You wanna play games?" "[GUNSHOT]" "How's that feel?" "You wouldn't." "I wouldn't!" "You don't think I will?" "Mm-mm." "You don't think I will?" "Mm-mm." "No." "No, I wouldn't." "That's why I'm not gonna leave it up to me." "Heads, you get to keep your head." "Tails not so lucky." "So you wanna tell me about the Joker?" "[THUG CHUCKLES]" "Let's go again." "I don't know anything!" "I don't!" "You're not playing the odds, friend." "Let's do it again." "You'd leave a man's life to chance?" "Not exactly." "His name's Schiff, Thomas." "He's a paranoid schizophrenic, former patient at Arkham." "The kind of mind the Joker attracts." "What do you expect to learn from him?" "The Joker killed Gordon." "He's gonna kill Rachel." "You're the symbol of hope I could never be." "Your stand against organized crime is the first legitimate ray of light in Gotham in decades." "If anyone saw this, everything would be undone." "All the criminals you pulled off the streets would be released and Jim Gordon will have died for nothing." "You're gonna hold a press conference tomorrow morning." "Why?" "No one else will die because of me." "Gotham's in your hands now." "You can't." "You can't give in." "You can't give in!" "Harvey called." "He said Batman's gonna turn himself in." "I have no choice." "You honestly think that's gonna keep the Joker from killing people?" "Maybe not." "But I have enough blood on my hands." "And I've seen now, what I would have to become to stop men like him." "You once told me that if the day came when I was finished that we'd be together." "Bruce, don't make me your one hope for a normal life." "Did you mean it?" "Yes." "Bruce." "If you turn yourself in, they're not gonna let us be together." "ALFRED:" "Logs as well?" "BRUCE:" "Everything." "Anything that could lead back to Lucius or Rachel." "People are dying, Alfred." "What would you have me do?" "Endure, Master Wayne." "Take it." "They'll hate you for it, but that's the point of Batman." "He can be the outcast." "He can make the choice that no one else can make." "The right choice." "No, today I found out what Batman can't do." "He can't endure this." "Today you get to say "I told you so."" "Today, I don't want to." "But I did bloody tell you." "[BRUCE CHUCKLES]" "ALFRED:" "I suppose they're gonna lock me up as well as your accomplice." "BRUCE:" "Accomplice?" "I'm gonna tell them the whole thing was your idea." "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming." "I've called this press conference for two reasons." "Firstly, to assure the citizens of Gotham that everything that can be done over the Joker killings is being done." "[CHATTERING]" "Secondly, because the Batman has offered to turn himself in." "But first, let's consider the situation." "Should we give in to this terrorist's demands?" "Do we really think he's gonna--?" "You'd rather protect an outlaw vigilante than the lives of citizens?" "The Batman is an outlaw." "But, that's not why we demand he turn himself in we're doing it because we're scared." "We've been happy to let the Batman clean up our streets for us until now." "MAN 1:" "Things are worse than ever!" "MAN 2:" "Amen." "Yes, they are." "But the night is darkest just before the dawn." "And I promise you the dawn is coming." "One day, the Batman will have to answer for the laws he's broken." "But to us not to this madman." "No more dead cops!" "OFFICERS:" "Yeah!" "He should turn himself in!" "MAN 3:" "Give us the Batman!" "Come on!" "MAN 4:" "Where is he?" "So be it." "Take the Batman into custody." "WOMAN:" "What?" "MAN 5:" "Is he here?" "I am the Batman." "MAN 6:" "What?" "MAN 7:" "Come on." "RACHEL:" "Alfred." "Why is he letting Harvey do this?" "He went down to the press conference." "I know." "He just stood by." "Perhaps both Bruce and Mr. Dent believe that Batman stands for something more important than the whims of a terrorist, Miss Dawes even if everyone hates him for it." "That's the sacrifice he's making." "He's not being a hero." "He's being something more." "Yeah, you're absolutely right." "Letting Harvey take the fall for this is not heroic at all." "You know him better than anyone." "I do." "Will you give this to him for me?" "When the time is right?" "How will I know?" "It's not sealed." "Goodbye, Alfred." "Bye, Rachel." "[CELL DOOR OPENS]" "Sorry, I didn't have time to talk this through with you." "What are you doing?" "They're transferring me to Central Holding." "This is the Joker's chance, and when he attacks, the Batman will take him down." "Listen to me." "This is too dangerous." "We get this guy to County, he's their problem." "Streets will be cleared along your route so let's go." "Convoy stops for no reason." "I hope you got some moves, pal." "He's using you as bait." "He doesn't even know if he can get the Joker." "He's failed so far." "How do you know what he's thinking?" "I just..." "I do." "Anyway, Harvey, this isn't just about you." "What about all of the people who are depending on you to clean the city up and do it honorably and--?" "Harvey." "Tell everyone the truth." "Heads, I go through with it." "This is your life." "You can't leave something like that to chance." "I'm not." "[ENGINE STARTS]" "You make your own luck." "[TRUCK HORN BLARING]" "Hey, you wait like everybody else, pal." "What the hell is that?" "Obstruction ahead, obstruction ahead!" "Damn it!" "All units divert down onto Lower Fifth." "I repeat, exit down." "Exit down!" "Lower Fifth?" "We'll be like turkeys on Thanksgiving down there." "Jesus." "Come on, get us out of here." "Let's go." "Listen, we need backup." "We've got company." "We got trouble, guys." "Lock and load!" "[TIRES SCREECHING]" "[CAR HORNS HONKING]" "What the hell was that?" "These things are built for that, right?" "He's gonna need something a lot bigger to get through this." "What is that?"

"No, I'm no hero." "Gotham's finest, they're the heroes." "REPORTER 1:" "But you and your office have been working with the Batman all along." "No, but I trusted him to do the right thing." "REPORTER 2:" "Which was?" "Saving my ass." "All right, people, that's enough." "Let him be." "Let him be." "Thank you, Detective." "I've got a date with a pretty upset girlfriend."

"[CELL PHONE RINGS]" "GORDON:" "Has he said anything yet?" "[DOOR BUZZES]" "Evening, Commissioner." "Harvey Dent never made it home." "Of course not." "What have you done with him?" "Me?" "I was right here." "Who did you leave him with?" "Hm?" "Your people?" "Assuming, of course, that they are still your people and not Maroni's." "Does it depress you, Commissioner to know just how alone you really are?" "Does it make you feel responsible for Harvey Dent's current predicament?" "Where is he?" "What's the time?" "What difference does that make?" "Well, depending on the time, he may be in one spot or several." "If we're gonna play games..." "Mm-hm?" "...I'm gonna need a cup of coffee." "Ah, the "good cop, bad cop" routine?" "Not exactly." "[DOOR BUZZES]" "[DOOR CLOSES]" "[GROANS]" "Never start with the head." "The victim gets all fuzzy." "He can't feel the next" "See?" "You wanted me." "Here I am." "JOKER [OVER SPEAKER]:" "I wanted to see what you'd do." "And you didn't disappoint." "You let five people die." "Then you let Dent take your place." "Even to a guy like me, that's cold." "Where's Dent?" "Those Mob fools want you gone so they can get back to the way things were." "But I know the truth." "There's no going back." "You've changed things." "Forever." "Then why do you wanna kill me?" "[LAUGHS]" "I don't wanna kill you." "What would I do without you?" "Go back to ripping off Mob dealers?" "No, no." "No." "No, you...." "You complete me." "You're garbage who kills for money." "Don't talk like one of them." "You're not." "Even if you'd like to be." "To them, you're just a freak like me." "They need you right now but when they don't they'll cast you out like a leper." "You see, their morals, their code it's a bad joke." "Dropped at the first sign of trouble." "They're only as good as the world allows them to be." "I'll show you." "When the chips are down, these" "These civilized people they'll eat each other." "See, I'm not a monster." "I'm just ahead of the curve." "Where's Dent?" "You have all these rules, and you think they'll save you." "He's in control." "I have one rule." "Oh." "Then that's the rule you'll have to break to know the truth." "Which is?" "The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules." "And tonight you're gonna break your one rule." "I'm considering it." "No, there's only minutes left, you're gonna have to play my little game if you wanna save one of them." ""Them"?" "You know, for a while there, I thought you really were Dent."

"I was meant to inspire good not madness, not death." "You have inspired good." "But you spat in the faces of Gotham's criminals." "Didn't you think there might be some casualties?" "Things are always going to get worse before they got better." "But Rachel, Alfred." "Rachel believed in what you stood for what we stand for." "Gotham needs you." "No, Gotham needs its true hero and I let that murdering psychopath blow him half to hell." "Which is why, for now they're gonna have to make do with you." "She was going to wait for me, Alfred." "Dent doesn't know." "He can never know." "What's that?" "It can wait." "That bandit in the forest in Burma." "Did you catch him?" "Yes." "How?" "We burned the forest down." "[GASPS]" "[INAUDIBLE]" "He's credible source, an MA lawyer from a prestigious consultancy, and" "He says he's waited as long as he can for the Batman to do the right thing." "And now he's taking matters into his own hands." "We'll be live at 5 with the true identity of the Batman." "I'm sorry about Rachel." "The doctor says you're in agonizing pain, but that you won't accept medication." "That you're refusing to accept skin grafts." "Remember that name you all had for me when I was at Internal Affairs?" "What was it, Gordon?" "Harvey, I...." "Say it." "Say it!" "Two-Face." "Harvey Two-Face." "Why should I hide who I am?" "I know you tried to warn me." "I'm sorry." "Wuertz picked you up." "Was he working for them?" "Do you know who picked up Rachel?" "Harvey, I need to know which of my men I can trust." "Why would you listen to me now?" "I'm sorry, Harvey." "No." "No, you're not." "Not yet." "This craziness, it's too much." "You should've thought about that before you let the clown out of the box." "MARONI:" "You want him?" "I can tell you where he'll be this afternoon." "CHECHEN:" "Not so crazy as you look." "I told you, I'm a man of my word." "Where is the Italian?" "All tactical units will converge on the location in 20 minutes." "I want auxiliary units to cover all possible getaway routes." "CHECHEN:" "Please." "Joker-man, what you do with all your money?" "You see, I'm a guy of simple taste." "I enjoy dynamite and gunpowder and gasoline." "What the--?" "Ah, ah, ah." "And you know the thing that they have in common?" "They're cheap." "CALLER 1 [ON TV]:" "I wanna know how much they are paying you to say who Batman really is?" "This is our chance." "I want Lau alive." "The Joker, either way." "Hey, Jim." "Get a load of this." "ENGEL:" "Let's take the next caller." "CALLER 2:" "Harvey Dent didn't wanna give in to this maniac." "You think you know better than him?" "I think that if we could talk to Dent today, he may feel differently." "And we wish him a speedy recovery." "Because God knows, we need him now." "You said you were a man of your word." "Oh, I am." "I'm only burning my half." "All you care about is money." "This town deserves a better class of criminal and I'm gonna give it to them." "Tell your men they work for me now." "This is my city." "They won't work for a freak." "[IMITATES CHECHEN] "Freak."" "[IN NORMAL VOICE] Why don't we cut you up into little pieces and feed you to your pooches?" "Hm?" "And then we'll see how loyal a hungry dog really is." "[DOGS BARKING]" "It's not about money it's about sending a message." "Everything burns." "Who is this?" "JOKER:" "I had a vision of a world without Batman." "The Mob ground out a little profit and the police tried to shut them down one block at a time." "And it was so boring." "I've had a change of heart." "I don't want Mr. Reese spoiling everything but why should I have all the fun?" "Let's give someone else a chance." "If Coleman Reese isn't dead in 60 minutes then I blow up a hospital." "I want you to call in every officer." "Tell them to head to their nearest hospital and start evac and search." "Call the transit authority, school board, prisons." "Get every available bus down to a hospital." "The priority is Gotham General." "Wheel everybody out of that place right now." "You, you and you, you come with me." "Where are we going, sir?" "To get Reese." "I need you plugged in, checking Gordon's men and their families." "Looking for?" "Hospital admissions." "Will you be wanting the Batpod, Sir?" "In the middle of the day, Alfred?" "Not very subtle." "The Lamborghini, then." "Much more subtle." "[CROWD SHOUTING]" "Excuse me." "Let me through." "Excuse me." "Okay." "Sir, could you help, please?" "I'm gonna find a bus for him." "ENGEL:" "Sir?" "Commissioner, do you really think an ordinary citizen would try to kill this man?" "ENGEL:" "Sir." "Commissioner." "[CROWD SCREAMING]" "Get the cars around the back!" "Go." "Keep rolling, Sam." "I see O'Brien and Richards." "No immediate family member admitted to a Gotham hospital." "REESE:" "They're trying to kill me." "Well, maybe Batman can save you." "Davis, they got space." "Bring him out." "Davis." "I saw Burns and Zachary." "ALFRED:" "Nothing on them." "And a patrolman I don't know." "REESE:" "Okay, so, what now?" "What do we do now?" "Where are we going?" "Send the information to Gordon." "[CELL PHONE RINGS]" "Get out of here." "Davis." "Ma'am, we're gonna have to move him now." "GORDON:" "It's Berg, isn't it?" "Commissioner." "You okay, son?" "[JOKER HUMMING]" "[DENT GRUNTS]" "Hi." "You know I don't want there to be any hard feelings between us, Harvey." "When you and" "Rachel!" "Rachel were being abducted I was sitting in Gordon's cage." "I didn't rig those charges." "Your men, your plan." "Do I really look like a guy with a plan?" "You know what I am?" "I'm a dog chasing cars." "I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it." "You know?" "I just do things." "The Mob has plans." "The cops have plans." "Gordon's got plans." "You know, they're schemers." "Schemers trying to control their little worlds." "I'm not a schemer." "I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are." "So when I say" " Ah." "Come here." "When I say that you and your girlfriend was nothing personal you know that I'm telling the truth." "I'm gonna need your weapon." "What?" "Why?" "Because my wife's in the hospital?" "Yeah, that would be why." "It's the schemers that put you where you are." "You were a schemer, you had plans and look where that got you." "ANNOUNCER [OVER RADIO]:" "The Police, of course, are taking every possible precaution and urging everyone not to take matters into their hands." "I just did what I do best." "I took your little plan, I turned it on itself." "Look what I did to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets." "Hm?" "You know..." "You know what I noticed?" "Nobody panics when things go "according to plan."" "Even if the plan is horrifying." "If tomorrow I tell the press that, like, a gangbanger will get shot or a truckload of soldiers will be blowing up nobody panics." "Because it's all part of the plan." "But when I say that one little old mayor will die well, then, everyone loses their minds." "Introduce a little anarchy upset the established order and everything becomes chaos." "I'm an agent of chaos." "Oh, and you know the thing about chaos?" "It's fair." "You live." "Mm-hm." "You die." "Mmm." "Now we're talking." "Mr. Reese." "That's Mr. Wayne, isn't it?" "That was a very brave thing you did." "Trying to catch the light?" "You weren't protecting the van?" "Why?" "Who's in it?" "Don't you think I should go to the hospital?" "You don't watch a whole lot of news, do you, Mr. Wayne?" "[IMITATES EXPLOSION]" "[CROWD SCREAMING]" "Southeast." "It's Gotham General." "Did you clear the building?" "OFFICER:" "Yeah." "GORDON:" "We must know how many were inside." "You have patient lists, roll call." "Right now we're showing 50 people missing." "One bus." "All these others buses were heading off to other hospitals." "My guess is we missed one." "Yeah?" "Well, what's your guess about where Harvey Dent is?" "Keep looking." "And keep it to yourself." "Anybody asks, we got him out." "Get me the mayor's office on the line." "We're gonna need the National Guard." "REPORTER [ON TV]:" "people are still missing including GCN's own Mike Engel." "I'm now being told that we're cutting to a video GCN has just received." "I'm Mike Engel for Gotham Tonight." "What does it take to make you people wanna join in?" "You failed to kill the lawyer." "I've gotta get you off the bench..." "...and into the game." "JOKER:" "Bench." "Game." "[JOKER LAUGHS]" "ENGEL:" "Come nightfall, this city is mine." "JOKER:" "Mine." "And anyone left here plays by my rules." "Rules." "Mr. Fox?" "Security is showing a break-in at the RD Department." "If you don't wanna be in the game..." "...get out now." "Get out now." "[CHATTERING]" "But the bridge-and-tunnel crowd are sure in for a surprise." "Ha-ha, ha-ha." "[JOKER LAUGHING]" "[SIRENS WAILING]" "[DOG BARKING]" "REPORTER:" "Gotham P.D. has shut down..." "BARTENDER:" "Sweet Jesus." "...the bridges and tunnels across the area." "Shouldn't you be out there, you know, doing something?" "It's my day off." "I gotta take a leak." "Keep an eye out for me, will you?" "[DOOR OPENS]" "Now what?" "You need someone to shake it for you?" "DENT:" "Hello." "Dent." "Jesus." "I thought you was dead." "Half." "Who picked up Rachel, Wuertz?" "It must've been Maroni's men." "Shut up!" "Are you telling me that you're gonna protect the other traitor in Gordon's unit?" "I don't know, he never told me." "Listen, Dent, I swear to God, I didn't know what they were gonna do to you." "That's funny because I don't know what's gonna happen to you either." "[GUNSHOT]" "Beautiful, isn't it?" "Beautiful." "Unethical." "Dangerous." "You've turned every cell phone in Gotham into a microphone." "BATMAN:" "And a high-frequency generator-receiver." "You took my sonar concept and applied it to every phone in the city." "With half the city feeding you sonar, you can image all of Gotham." "This is wrong." "I've gotta find this man, Lucius." "At what cost?" "The database is null-key encrypted." "It can only be accessed by one person." "This is too much power for one person." "That's why I gave it to you." "Only you can use it." "Spying on 30 million people isn't part of my job description." "This is an audio sample." "If he talks within range of any phone in the city you can triangulate his position." "I'll help you this one time." "But consider this my resignation." "As long as this machine is at Wayne Enterprises, I won't be." "When you're finished type in your name." "[SIRENS WAILING]" "GORDON:" "Well, my officers are going over every inch of the tunnels and bridges but with the Joker's threat, they're not an option." "And land routes east?" "Backed up for hours." "Which leaves the ferries with 30,000 ready to board." "Plus, I wanna use the ferries so I can get some of those prisoners off the island." "The men you and dent put away?" "Those aren't people I'm worried about." "You should be." "Whatever the Joker's planning it's a good bet Harvey's prisoners might be involved." "I wanna get them out of here." "So where is Harvey?" "We haven't found him." "Oh, Jesus." "How long can you keep this quiet?" "Don't stop for lights, cops, nothing." "Going to join your wife?" "You love her?" "Yes." "You ever imagine what it would be like to listen to her die?" "Look, take it up with the Joker." "He killed your woman." "He made you like this." "The Joker's just a mad dog." "I want whoever let him off the leash." "I took care of Wuertz, but who is your other man inside Gordon's unit?" "Who picked up Rachel?" "Must have been someone she trusted." "Look, if I tell you will you let me go?" "Can't hurt your chances." "It was Ramirez." "[GUN COCKS]" "But you said" "I said it couldn't hurt your chances." "You're a lucky man." "But he's not." "Who?" "Your driver." "[GUNSHOT]" "GUARDSMAN 1:" "Stand back." "Hey Man, that ain't right." "We should be on that boat." "GUARDSMAN 2:" "You wanna ride across with them?" "Be my guest." "[ENGINES STOP]" "FIRST MATE:" "Sir, they've stopped their engines." "Right, get on the radio." "Tell them we'll come back and pick them up once we dump the scumbags." "Liberty, this is Spirit." "Come in." "[STATIC CRACKLES]" "CAPTAIN:" "What the heck was that?" "[ALARM WAILING]" "MAN:" "What the--?" "CAPTAIN [OVER RADIO]:" "Liberty, come in, please." "This is Spirit." "Come in." "Liberty, we have the same thing." "We've lost both engines." "Liberty, come in." "BATMAN:" "Fox." "There's something going on on the ferries." "Get down to the engine room now." "MAN:" "Hey, buddy, what's happening?" "Captain, we got a hundred barrels down there rigged to blow." "And this." "CAPTAIN:" "Oh, my God." "FIRST MATE:" "Looks like some kind of detonator." "CAPTAIN:" "Why would they give us the detonator to our own bomb?" "[INTERCOM BEEPS]" "JOKER [OVER SPEAKER]:" "Tonight, you're all gonna be a part of a social experiment." "Through the magic of diesel fuel and ammonium nitrate I'm ready right now to blow you all sky-high." "Liberty, come in, over." "It's dead." "JOKER:" "If anyone attempts to get off their boat, you all die." "FOX:" "I'm zeroing in." "JOKER:" "Each of you has a remote to blow up the other boat." "His voice is on the ferry but it's not the source." "West." "[CELL PHONE RINGS]" "Gordon." "BATMAN:" "I have the Joker's location." "Prewitt Building." "Assemble on the building opposite." "At midnight, I blow you all up." "If, however, one of you presses the button, I'll let that boat live." "So who's it gonna be?" "Harvey Dent's most-wanted scumbag collection or the sweet and innocent civilians?" "You choose." "Oh, and you might wanna decide quickly because the people on the other boat may not be quite so noble." "[INTERCOM SQUEALS]" "[CLAMORING]" "Stay back." "Well, now, who are you to decide?" "We ought to talk this over, at least." "We don't all have to die." "Those men had their chance." "We are not going to talk about this." "Why aren't we talking about it?" "They're talking over the same exact thing on the other boat." "Let's put it to a vote." "CROWD:" "Yes!" "[SHOTGUN BLAST]" "[PHONE RINGS]" "Hello?" "RAMIREZ:" "Barbara, it's Anna Ramirez." "Jim needs you to pack up and put the kids in the car right away." "But the units outside...." "Those cops can't be trusted." "Jim needs you away from them as soon as possible." "I'll call them off for 10 minutes, and you'll have to move fast." "But where am I supposed to take them?" "250 52nd Street." "Leave as soon as the patrol car pulls out." "Okay." "She believe you?" "It's because she trusts you just like Rachel did." "I didn't know" "Didn't know what they were gonna do?" "You're the second cop to say that to me." "What exactly did you think they were gonna do?" "They got me early on." "My mother's hospital bills...." "Don't!" "I'm sorry." "You live to fight another day, officer." "SWAT LEADER:" "We found the missing hospital bus." "GORDON:" "And we have a hostage situation." "It's a shooting gallery." "Why would he choose a spot with such big windows?" "SWAT LEADER:" "We have clear shots on five clowns." "Snipers take them out, smash the windows, a team rappels in." "Team moves in by the stairwells." "Two, three casualties max." "Let's do it." "BATMAN:" "It's not that simple." "With the Joker, it never is." "What's simple is that every second we don't take in, those people on the ferries get closer to blowing each other up" "That won't happen." "Then he'll blow both of them up!" "We don't have time for paper ballots." "I want everybody to put their votes on this piece of paper." "If anyone's got pens, pass it along." "GUARDSMAN:" "Thank you." "Anybody else?" "Coming through." "Anybody else?" "Thank you." "COMMANDER:" "We need to get these votes in quickly." "Come on." "PRISONER 1:" "What are you waiting for?" "Just push the button!" "PRISONER 2:" "We're running out of time!" "I need five minutes alone." "No!" "There's no time!" "We have clear shots!" "Dent is in there with them." "We have to save Dent!" "I have to save Dent." "Get ready." "Two minutes, then we breach." "[MUFFLED GRUNTING]" "Fox, I need picture." "[CELL PHONE RINGS]" "Hello?" "BARBARA:" "Jim, we're in trouble." "FOX:" "Okay, you got POV on alpha omni on beta." "Looks like clowns and hostages on two floors." "There's a SWAT team on the stairwell." "Another SWAT team on the roof." "TEAM LEADER:" "Line's clear." "Barbara, calm down." "He has the kids!" "DENT:" "Hello, Jim." "Harvey?" "Where's my family?" "Where my family died." "[BUSY SIGNAL]" "SWAT LEADER:" "Blue team, acquire the target." "Entry team, set your charge." "[MUFFLED GRUNTING]" "BATMAN:" "Fox, the SWATs are targeting the wrong people." "The clowns are the hostages." "Red team, go!" "Red team, go!" "Entry team, blow and go!" "Don't move." "SWAT LEADER:" "Take the shot." "FOX:" "Those swats are coming in hot." "SWAT 1:" "Clowns, put down your guns." "SWAT 2:" "Drop your weapons!" "SWAT 3:" "On the ground, now!" "SWAT 4:" "Doctors, get down!" "Clear the line of fire."

"These men will kill you and take it anyway." "No one wants to get their hands dirty." "Fine." "I'll do it." "Those men on that boat?" "They made their choices." "They chose to murder and steal." "It doesn't make any sense for us to have to die too." "All the old familiar places." "FOX:" "Stand by." "[JOKER YELLS]" "SWAT 2:" "Red team, floor secure." "Hostages are safe." "Give it to me." "You can tell them I took it by force." "Give it to me, and I'll do what you should've did 10 minutes ago." "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "We really should stop this fighting, otherwise we'll miss the fireworks." "There won't be any fireworks." "And here we go." "What were you trying to prove?" "That deep down, everyone's as ugly as you?" "You're alone." "Can't rely on anyone these days." "You gotta do everything yourself." "Don't we?" "That's okay." "I came prepared." "It's a funny world we live in." "Speaking of which, you know how I got these scars?" "No, but I know how you got these." "[GRUNTS]" "[LAUGHING]" "Oh, you." "You just couldn't let me go, could you?" "This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object." "You truly are incorruptible, aren't you?" "Huh?" "You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness." "And I won't kill you because you're just too much fun." "I think you and I are destined to do this forever." "You'll be in a padded cell forever." "Maybe we could share one." "You know, they'll be doubling up the rate this city's inhabitants are losing their minds." "This city just showed you that it's full of people ready to believe in good." "Until their spirit breaks completely." "Until they get a good look at the real Harvey Dent and all the heroic things he's done." "You didn't think I'd risk losing the battle for Gotham's soul in a fistfight with you?" "No." "You need an ace in the hole." "Mine's Harvey." "What did you do?" "I took Gotham's white knight and I brought him down to our level." "It wasn't hard." "See, madness, as you know is like gravity." "All it takes is a little push." "[LAUGHING]" "Dent!" "DENT:" "This is where they brought her, Gordon, after your men handed her over." "This is where she died." "I know, I was here..." "...trying to save her." "But you didn't." "I couldn't." "Yes, you could've." "If you'd listened to me." "If you stood up against corruption instead of doing your deal with the devil." "I was trying to fight the Mob!" "You wouldn't dare try to justify yourself if you knew what I'd lost." "Have you ever had to talk to the person you loved most tell them it's gonna be all right, when you know it's not?" "Well, you're about to know what that feels like, Gordon." "Then you can look me in the eye and tell me you're sorry." "You're not going to hurt my family." "No." "Just the person you love most." "[GUN COCKS]" "So is it your wife?" "Put the gun down, Harvey." "Harvey, put down the gun." "Please." "Please, Harvey." "Please." "Oh, goddamn it." "Will you stop pointing that gun at my family?" "BARBARA:" "No!" "We have a winner." "No, Jim, stop him!" "GORDON:" "Harvey." "BARBARA:" "Don't let him" "Harvey!" "[BARBARA SOBBING]" "I'm sorry!" "For everything." "Please don't hurt my son." "[DOGS BARKING]" "[CHATTERING]" "You brought your cops?" "All they know is there's a situation." "They don't know who or what." "They're just creating a perimeter." "You think I wanna escape from this?" "There is no escape from this." "You don't wanna hurt the boy, Harvey." "It's not about what I want, it's about what's fair!" "You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time." "But you were wrong." "The world is cruel." "And the only morality in a cruel world is chance." "Unbiased." "Unprejudiced." "Fair." "His son's got the same chance she had." "Fifty-fifty." "What happened to Rachel wasn't chance." "We decided to act." "We three." "Then why was it me who was the only one who lost everything?" "It wasn't." "The Joker chose me." "Because you were the best of us." "He wanted to prove that even someone as good as you could fall." "And he was right." "You're the one pointing the gun, Harvey." "So point it at the people responsible." "Fair enough." "You first." "My turn." "Harvey, you're right." "Rachel's death was my fault." "Please don't punish the boy." "Please, punish me." "I'm about to." "Tell your boy he's gonna be all right, Gordon." "Lie like I lied." "It's going to be all right, son." "[BATMAN GRUNTS]" "No!" "Dad?" "Daddy, is he okay?" "[BATMAN PANTING]" "Thank you." "You don't have to thank me." "Yes, I do." "The Joker won." "Harvey's prosecution, everything he fought for undone." "Whatever chance you gave us at fixing our city dies with Harvey's reputation." "We bet it all on him." "The Joker took the best of us and tore him down." "People will lose hope." "They won't." "They must never know what he did." "Five dead." "Two of them cops." "You can't sweep that" "No." "But the Joker cannot win." "Gotham needs its true hero." "No." "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." "I can do those things because I'm not a hero, not like Dent." "I killed those people." "That's what I can be." "No, no, you can't." "You're not." "I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be." "Call it in." "GORDON:" "A hero." "Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed." "Nothing less than a knight shining." "GORDON:" "They'll hunt you." "BATMAN:" "You'll hunt me." "You'll condemn me." "Set the dogs on me." "Because that's what needs to happen." "Because sometimes the truth isn't good enough." "Sometimes people deserve more." "Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded." "[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]" "JAMES:" "Batman." "Batman!" "Why's he running, Dad?" "Because we have to chase him." "Okay, we're going in!" "Go, go!" "Move!" "He didn't do anything wrong." "[BARKING]" "Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now." "So we'll hunt him because he can take it." "Because he's not our hero." "He's a silent guardian a watchful protector." "A Dark Knight." "Subtitles by RedDevilRulez Timecode corr. for OpeD by cotangent"
