The Batman Edit

A confidential informant in the Maroni case?

A falcon has wings too.

A friend.

A friggin' bat! Huh? You ever think of that?

A huge charitable fund with no oversight.

A lot of guys that shouldn't be there, I can tell you that.

A mansion in a slum.

A mysterious masked man emerges,

A nobody!

A penguin's got wings too.

A rat with wings?

A single word on this ledger, sitting on the desk beside me.

A stool pigeon.

A USB port.

A wife lost a husband.

About her?

About Salvatore Maroni.

Absolutely.

After everything we did to take down the Maronis?

After Thomas Wayne died, they all went after it like vultures.

Again, four term incumbent Gotham Mayor Don Mitchell, Jr.

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Ain't it funny?

Alfred, I don't want your cufflinks.

Alfred, stop.

All along the city seawall.

All anyone cares about in this place are these white, privileged assholes.

All everyone wants to do is unmask you, but they're missing the point.

All right. I'll go calm down the crowd so we can get everyone in.

All these years I've spent fighting for him,

All they could talk about was poor Bruce Wayne.

All this blood is from his head?

All those cards.

All those slick, sleazy, phony pricks.

Alone?

Along with the late mayor and police commissioner,

Am I the only here knows the difference between "el" and "la"?

And 28 year old grassroots challenger Bella Reál in a dead heat.

And a special thanks to everyone for the tips on detonators.

And after what happened with that reporter, Maroni was worried

And all of a sudden, some big secret's comin' out?

And all you had was me.

And Bella Reál will win.

And every winter one of the babies die

And get the mayor elect out of here, now.

And Gotham needs you to answer

And he didn't say a thing.

And he's coming over. You happy?

And hoping to find him before he kills again.

And I could never understand why he looked at me the way he did.

And I know that you're a very important man.

And I lost a friend.

And I will not rest until his killer is found.

And if she kills Falcone, we may never find the Riddler.

And in a moment of weakness, he turned to Falcone.

And now as first responders desperately scramble to help the injured,

And now this.

And on the big night,

And only days before the election.

And some of you may find it disturbing.

And some will seize the chance to grab everything they can.

And someone who will tell the people the truth.

And that night,

And that was your father's mistake.

And that's how he became mayor.

And that's how he became mayor.

And that's where all of you come in.

And that's why I'm here today.

And the safety net for those who need it.

And the strength to fight.

And then what?

And they didn't want anyone to know.

And this certainly is not the first time

And this son of a bitch stole her passport.

And this time, the killer has come forward to claim credit online...

And we are actively pursuing every investigative lead we have

And we have to warn you, the video is very disturbing.

And we should warn you, the contents are extremely graphic

And what about you? Are you a Wayne?

And when fear isn't enough...

And when it does, this whole city's gonna come apart.

And you know,

And you,

And you'll find where I'm at."

And your father tried to pay the guy off,

Anni!

Anni!

Anni!

Any idea?

Any of that.

Any of this mean anything to you?

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Anyway, social services came to take me away,

Apparently.

Are coming for breakfast.

Are you El Rata Alada?

Are you just...

Are you kidding me, sir?

Are you saying Salvatore Maroni got my father killed?

Are you sure no one can see these things in my eyes?

Aren't you afraid someone'll take a shot at you?

Around the wound.

As a mafia informant...

As a reminder, the family asked that

As police and FBI search for the brazen killer.

As the city is rocked by a second high profile murder in as many nights.

As the venue becomes the city's shelter of last resort.

At the club.

At the moment,

Baby, what's wrong?

Baby!

Back at your place.

Back off! Back off!

Bastard murders you and your reputation.

Because at least the money makes it go down easy.

Because I couldn't get you to go there.

Because it's so cold.

Because she's been gone so long, I'm beginning to...

Because then it will be your turn.

Because to me, you were always just a gimp in an empty suit.

Been a long time since I seen you down here.

Behind the mask.

Believing that he was a good man.

Blank. Yeah, I understand.

Bludhaven, maybe.

Bock put out an APB on you. You really think he's in on this?

Boom!

Boy, this guy's a real nutjob, huh?

Boy, you guys are a hell of a duet here.

Boy, you're a real sweetheart.

Boy, you're everything they say, ain't ya?

Bring him into the light, and you'll find where I'm at."

Bring the rat into the light.

Briscoe, do you know how much this sweater cost?

Brought out the one guy in the city more reclusive than me.

Bruce Wayne, the orphan.

Bruce...

Bruce...

But a citywide manhunt is already underway

But also the creation of the Gotham Renewal Fund.

But as far as I can tell, you're not doing anything.

But drops and other drugs are still rampant.

But Falcone wanted more.

But first, I gotta know...

But he didn't want none of it coming out,

But he never thought Falcone would kill that man.

But he wasn't going for it.

But I am not done.

But I didn't know how to help.

But I didn't know how to make them listen.

But I don't know.

But I have to try.

But I see 'em come in.

But I thought we were getting a bump in the new Post poll.

But I wasn't equipped to take care of you.

But I wasn't rolling with them.

But I'm fairly certain this translates to,

But I'm there too.

But if I give over that name, I have family, people I love.

But if this guy knows, it's gonna come out.

But if we survive them,

But in a mansion, in a slum,

But not just our city.

But not the one I intended.

But she got too close, right?

But somehow Riddler found out too.

But that would leave most of the cipher unsolved.

But that's okay.

But that's the Penguin, Carmine Falcone's right hand.

But the city can change.

But the cops, the city officials, the mayor, the DA,

But the criminal element never sleeps.

But then, today, I saw it.

But they don't know where I am.

But they needed a minor league mope like you to run it.

But this is way over the line.

But too many have been left behind for too long,

But unmasking is not enough.

But wait a minute...

But we got the rest of 'em, didn't we?

But we know the truth, don't we?

But what is their real legacy?

But when Falcone told him what he'd done,

But when it's denied, it's violence you may find."

But when that light hits the sky,

But you'd be surprised

But your people keep telling me you're unavailable.

But, oh, no.

But, uh, those assholes are coming back.

By Lieutenant James Gordon of the Gotham PD.

Can we not do this right now?

Can you see me?

Can you tell Mr. Falcone I'd like to come up?

Can't we just cut it off?

Cat burglar pulling another score?

Change?

Christ, it's Colson.

Christ, not again.

Colson said, "Cops protect the rat." Maybe Kenzie's part of it.

Colson's blood is on his hands.

Colson's dirty?

Come on, man.

Come on, man. Break it.

Come on, sweetheart.

Come on, Vengeance.

Come on, Vengeance.

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Hey!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Do it, man.

Come!

Commissioner Pete Savage,

Compromising yourself for money?

Consider a donation to

Cops caught you doing something.

Couldn't even look at me.

Cross that line...

Crossed a line.

Cutting funds from vital projects like our sea wall

DA was a regular too.

Dangerous crowd you're stealing from.

Dear God.

Detective?

Detonators?

Did you kill him? For my father?

Didn't help my daughter when she needed it, I can tell you that.

Do I know it for a fact?

Do me a favor, shithead, shut up!

Do me a favor.

Do you know what being an orphan is?

Do you know what I am?"

Do you know who I am?

Do you understand these rights?

Do you understand?

Do you want to come over?

Does anybody want a drink?

Doesn't it?

Don Mitchell, Jr.'s political career

Don't be a stranger.

Don't be sorry, Alfred.

Don't look away. I need time to make IDs.

Don't lose any sleep over it.

Don't lose your head, Mr. Colson.

Don't make me hurt you.

Don't throw your life away.

Don't worry, honey.

Don't worry. I'm watching you.

Don't you ever just say hello?

Don't you know you boys in blue work for me?

Don't you mean "we"?

Don't you tell me.

Dr. Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha

Dropheads.

Drowning our sorrows.

Ecchymosis...

Edward Nashton. Works at KTMJ.

El Rata Alada?

Enjoy your night at Blackgate, Carmine.

Especially to pretty girls like you.

Established by the great Thomas Wayne.

Even after the physical wounds have healed.

Even with the rain.

Ever since I was a child,

Everybody does.

Everybody got a piece.

Everybody's got their dirty laundry, that's just how it is.

Everyone, everyone, if I could just get your attention.

Everyone's afraid to stand up and do the right thing, but I'm not.

Everything that happened.

Everything!

Exactly! That's the problem with this city.

Excuse me?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Falcone is the rat?

Falcone owes me that money.

Falcone works for you guys?

Falcone's the mayor.

Fear...

Feels good, doesn't it?

For me, they are a retreat

For our beloved mayor, Don Mitchell, Jr.

For retribution.

For this moment.

For what I said.

For your friend.

Forever.

Found out from Mitchell that you were the rat, so you killed her.

From a very young age, my family, Martha's family, the Arkhams...

From the horrors of our world.

Get 'em up!

Get into some trouble.

Get out of here, freak. You hear me?

Get out of the car and show your hands!

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

Get out!

Get out! Show 'em!

Get that son of a bitch out of here!

Get your hands off of me!

Gil Colson is missing.

Gil Colson.

Gil's very nervous.

Give us a moment here, fellas.

Give us a wide berth here, would you, slick?

God damn it.

God.

God.

Goddamn freak.

Goddamn rat.

Good evening and welcome to GC 1 News live at 8:00.

Good.

Goodbye!

Goodbye.

Gordon! Help me out, man!

Got something back on one of the IDs.

Gotham has been rocked by the murder of a political figure.

Gotham loves a comeback story.

Gotham Post, Gazette, GC 1, all of them.

Gotham's founding families.

Gotham's legacy of lies and murder.

Gratia plena

Gratia plena

Great, now I got you on assaulting an officer!

Great.

Guess it's good to be the mayor.

Had my father killed.

Happy fuckin' Halloween.

Have a seat.

Have a shower.

Have gathered in an emotional show of city unity.

Haven't a clue?

He ain't seein' nobody tonight.

He blasted these out after his message went viral.

He cared about her,

He could never stand your father and I had history.

He didn't ask me that!

He didn't care about his image or the campaign, any of that.

He doesn't make mistakes.

He found shocking family secrets.

He got hit a lot of times. And hard.

He got what he deserved.

He had a man killed.

He had my shit and my phone.

He has to pay!

He hasn't been heard from since last night.

He hurt her? That's why you killed him?

He interfered in an active hostage situation.

He killed Mitchell with it.

He knows so much about you.

He knows so much.

He lies still.

He made me do it. [tearfully] I'm so sorry.

He owes me that money.

He owns the city!

He said you were a very important man.

He said you were a very important man.

He said, "Carmine,

He scared the shit out of me.

He scrawled all over 'em. Rambling, ciphers, codes.

He told Falcone he was going to the police,

He told me if I didn't do exactly what he said, he'd kill me.

He told me what he did for my father.

He told you about that, huh?

He told you about that, huh?

He told you Salvatore Maroni...

He waited for him at the gym.

He was a cop.

He was a good man.

He was on Maroni's payroll.

He was protecting your mother.

He would have done anything

He would rather die than talk.

He'd rat out his drops operation,

He's a goddamn vigilante! He could be a suspect!

He's an off duty cop.

He's asking you how much it cost for you to turn your back.

He's been here this whole time.

He's been the mayor for the last 20 years.

He's gone.

He's got, like, 500 followers. Real fringe types.

He's one of the guys I got into it with at the Iceberg Lounge.

He's talking about the Maroni case.

He's the only one we didn't get.

He's wasted.

He's wearing gloves.

He's with me, Officer.

Help, help!

Helping to save the lives

Her body was in his car.

Her mother brutally murdered her father,

Here is another...

Here to unmask the truth about this cesspool we call a city.

Here you go, champ.

Here? Why?

Heroically pulling the victims right through that skylight...

Hey, aren't you the DA?

Hey, Dad.

Hey, don't I know you?

Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?

Hey, hey, hey! Road's closed!

Hey, hey, hey. Don't be sad.

Hey, it's me.

Hey, Johnny Slick.

Hey, Lieutenant! You really okay with this?

Hey, man, I don't think that you should be touching that.

Hey, man. No, no, no!

Hey, Vengeance!

Hey, watch it, fellas.

Hey, where you goin'?

Hey, why am I starting to feel like a fish on a hook?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Give me that.

Hey! Hey, man, take it easy!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! How do I get up there?

Hey! Put the bat down, or I'll blow your head off!

Hey! What happened?

Hey! What the...

Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey. How you doing?

Hey. Mr. Wayne.

Hi.

Hi.

Hidden in the chaos is the element,

Hideously scarred?

Him...

His club caters to the mob. Maroni practically lived there.

His drops operation.

His father saved my life.

His final post was last night.

His political aspirations?

Hits higher ground in Gotham Square Garden...

Hmm.

Hmm. Okay.

Holy God, what are you showing me here?

Holy shit, I seen that guy too.

Holy shit.

Holy shit.

Holy shit. It's him.

Hope you don't mind.

Hospitality.

How am I a part of this?

How can you say that?

How close did you have to get to Penguin? To Falcone?

How could they do that to her?

How do you know?

How do you know?

How Martha herself was in and out of institutions for years

How the hell am I supposed to get out of here?

How you been?

How you doing?

How, when Martha was just a child,

How?

Huh.

I ain't no rat!

I asked him to come, Pete.

I asked you to bring him into the light, and you did.

I assume you heard about this.

I believe in Gotham.

I believe in its promise.

I can already see things will get worse before they get better.

I can take care of myself.

I can take care of myself.

I can't be everywhere.

I can't get through! The lines are down.

I could see the fear in your eyes,

I could teach you how to fight, [sighs]

I couldn't find them.

I couldn't go to no hospital, so we showed up on his doorstep.

I did.

I didn't kill anybody. I'm here for my friend.

I didn't kill no girl!

I didn't shoot! I didn't shoot!

I don't care about that.

I don't get it.

I don't have a relationship with him, okay?

I don't know about these things.

I don't know what you're talking about, pal.

I don't know where she is.

I don't know yet.

I don't know.

I don't know. Upstate.

I don't see how that's gonna...

I don't think that rat likes you, man.

I don't trust any of 'em. Do you?

I gave you nothing.

I get a monthly payment just not to prosecute certain cases.

I go after him. Lean on him to give up the rat.

I got a lot on my shoulders with that psycho running around.

I got nine of 'em.

I got shot in the chest. Right here.

I got the press downstairs.

I got you!

I got you!

I got you. Can you hear me?

I gotta do this my way.

I guess I gave you too much credit.

I guess I won't be anymore, will I?

I guess we both are.

I had it all planned out!

I handled it.

I have a beautiful wife and young son, okay?

I have a source who spoke to the DA tonight.

I have a thing about strays.

I have had an effect here...

I have to become more.

I have to force myself to remember

I have to stop her.

I have to try.

I haven't got past.

I haven't got time for this.

I haven't seen you around here before.

I hid out in the dressing room while she worked.

I hope you're listening, Bruce Wayne.

I hope, uh...

I just ordered a slice of pumpkin pie.

I just want to say this will be my last post for a little while, and, uh...

I killed your mayor because he was not who he pretended to be.

I know now what I must become."

I know you always blamed yourself.

I know.

I know.

I lost you in there.

I mean,

I mean, as far as I'm concerned,

I mean, I had all the pieces, I had the answers.

I mean, this Riddler, he's going after the most powerful people in the city.

I mean, what people do here ain't got nothing to do with me.

I mean, you ain't a kid no more.

I mean...

I might have been coming out at the same time,

I must choose my targets carefully.

I need to see his face.

I need to see in there, this hunting ground.

I never could have gotten him out of there.

I never thought I'd feel fear like that again.

I only trust you.

I realize now there's something

I really don't know, chief.

I remember your face.

I saw the signal. That's not you?

I see you met the twins.

I spoke to Carmine Falcone.

I think I'm his last target.

I think the killer's targeting people close to that case.

I think you'd be on his side.

I thought I might hear from you.

I thought I'd mastered all that.

I thought it was you.

I thought this was a shelter of last resort.

I told you I'm looking for my friend.

I told you,

I told you, baby.

I wanna know who she is, and what she has to do with this murder.

I wanna see Carmine Falcone.

I want him outta here.

I want to bypass political gridlock, and get money to people and projects

I want to continue this.

I want to see the Penguin.

I want you to put the fear of God in this guy."

I was hoping that maybe you could help me find her...

I was just headed back upstairs.

I was just hoping I could talk to you for a minute?

I was just...

I will kill again, and again, and again,

I wish you could've seen me in mine.

I worked that case.

I would love to sit and go over every gory detail with you, bat boy...

I wouldn't be bothering you here,

I'll be right back.

I'll never know where I come from.

I'll see you around.

I'll see you when I walk out.

I'll spray paint your ass!

I'm a dead man either way. You're talking to a dead man, okay?

I'm afraid his Spanish is not perfect,

I'm afraid it already has, sir.

I'm Bella Reál. I'm running for mayor.

I'm Gil.

I'm gonna catch hell for this. Pete's gonna bust a gasket.

I'm gonna find him and I'm gonna make him pay. You gonna help me?

I'm gonna go pay my respects. Will you wait for me?

I'm gonna start crying,

I'm good.

I'm just an instrument,

I'm just looking for Annika.

I'm just saying, it sure looked that way to me.

I'm just the proprietor, okay?

I'm just trying to get out of town, man!

I'm looking at the real you right now.

I'm Maria Kyle's kid.

I'm nobody.

I'm not afraid to die.

I'm not physical. My strength is up here.

I'm not saying there isn't work to do.

I'm not so sure.

I'm Oz.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, Mr. Falcone. I really think you're gonna want to see this.

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. [sniffling]

I'm telling you, God damn it! She called me!

I'm Vengeance.

I'm vengeance.

I'm well aware.

I've always loved little puzzles.

I've been invisible my whole life.

I've been trying to reach you.

I've been trying to reach you.

I've parked seven vans

I've spoken to the governor...

I've taken the liberty of doing a little work on this latest cipher.

If he heard this kind of talk?

If I can't change things here,

If I can't have an effect,

If I go out this way, it's just me.

If I look back, it's gonna be a whole can of worms.

If I'm elected, I want to change that.

If only you knew how long I've been waiting for this day.

If this continues, it won't be long before you've nothing left.

If we don't stand up for Annika, no one will.

If we find the rat, maybe it'll lead us to him.

If we have to leave earlier, we'll leave tonight.

If you cannot afford one,

If you don't think I've spent every day searching for that answer...

If you think about it, the concept of it, right?

If you think you can stop what's coming...

Ignore the symbols we don't have letters for.

In a shocking development, the police believe the photos themselves...

In each other.

In fact, in an eerie coincidence, it was 20 years ago this week

In order to identify the perpetrator and hunt him down.

In our elected officials,

In the exclusive Crest Hill district.

In the parts of the city no one can get to.

In their final debate before next Tuesday's election.

Injected him with arsenic.

Inside the Police Athletic League facilities in the Tricorner area.

Into a hush money agreement to save his mayoral campaign.

Is a tool.

Is alone anymore. Okay?

Is Bruce Wayne making an actual appearance?

Is capable of in the right situation.

Is dead.

Is it a chisel?

Is that him?

Is that right?

Is that the mayor?

Is that where you work?

Is that why you work in the club?

Is there anyone else to notify?

Is there anything else you wish to tell...

Is this how you get your kicks, hon?

Isn't it?

It could tear the whole city apart.

It looked like you were dealing for Penguin.

It means "a rat with wings." Like a stool pigeon.

It means your choices have consequences.

It meant he took the Hippocratic oath.

It only gives us H, E, L, I, S, and T.

It says you are El Rata Alada.

It sent out the photos from my account.

It was a C 4 explosive sent in a mailer. We found this too.

It was a shocking crime that remains unsolved to this day.

It was all just a score?

It was all there.

It was Falcone?

It was my job to protect them. Do you understand?

It was part of the Wayne estate.

It was perfect for making bribes, laundering money.

It wasn't to protect the family image, and he didn't have anyone killed.

It won't.

It'll be bloody.

It's "La."

It's 30 kids to a room.

It's a drug lab. Drops.

It's a hell of a time to be the new girl,

It's a little more dangerous than you know...

It's a maze.

It's a mob hangout.

It's a passion.

It's a tucker.

It's a warning.

It's all connected. Like it or not, it's his game now.

It's all going with me to my grave.

It's an orphan.

It's another cipher.

It's been a long time coming, huh?

It's been two years now, and I don't even know who you are, man.

It's done now. It's done.

It's encrypted.

It's getting serious, Bruce.

It's gonna be down into the 40s.

It's gonna kill you eventually. You know that.

It's got a nice ring.

It's gotten worse.

It's just me.

It's Mitchell, for chrissakes!

It's not just a call.

It's not safe for you here. We need to get you out, Ms. Reál.

It's okay, baby.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's over.

It's Riddler.

It's slang for "pigeon." Does that mean anything to you?

It's so much bigger than you could ever imagine.

It's time for the lies to finally end.

It's too dangerous. They made a secret deal with this guy.

It's under the Shoreline Lofts where Falcone was holed up.

It's, like, the worst Spanish I ever heard.

Its corruption, its perversion

Jesus Christ. "Choices"?

Jesus, can we get somebody out here? This psycho's gonna kill me!

Jesus, he's strangling her.

Jesus, what are they gonna do to her? She's just a kid.

Jesus!

Jesus!

Jesus! Look at you two.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Jesus. His next victim is Bruce Wayne.

Just call me in the morning, okay?

Just don't make any moves without me, understand?

Just give me a minute. I'll get him to cooperate.

Just hold still.
