right?
Let's not do that again.
-ls 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.

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 R&D
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.
When--
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 R&D?
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
