Gotham Knights (2023): Season 1, Episode 3 - Under Pressure - full transcript

Previously on
"Gotham Knights"...

They think I killed my dad

because I wanted
his money?

We didn't kill your dad
any more than you did.

We're gonna
clear our names.

We're a lot of things
but we're not cops.

But whoever is behind it
is gonna make sure

we have a little accident.

Who the hell
are you?

I'm Robin.

So, you knew
my dad was Batman?



Mutant Gang
threw him off the roof

of my apartment.

I dragged him to safety.

Not a bad way
to meet your hero.

Turner, he didn't want you

to follow down that path.

I swiped this from Ford
during our escape.

It's the symbol of
the Court of Owls.

They're the ones who
really run this city.

Have you forgotten
your debt of gratitude?

Just keep me in office so
I can continue to repay it.

We need to find out
everything we can
about who's after us.

We got Bruce's journals.
Records of all of his cases.

- Come on. Let's go.
- Anything interesting?



They ripped out
his final entry.

Whoever it was doesn't want us
to know what he wrote.

Watch it now.

You lost, little girl?

Yeah, I'm looking for
my Batarang.

Have you seen it?

Oh. There it is.

Nice try.

Ha ha.

Aha. Ha.

Ahh.

- You OK?
- I'm great.

Then I assume there's

someone somewhere
who's not great.

Yep. Guy about the size
of a refrigerator.

Bit of a temper.
Goes by the name
Vernon Wagner.

Wait, you went up
against the leader
of the Mutant Gang?

More like he
went up against me.
And lost.

I've been tracking
them for weeks.

Got to say, worth it.

So--so are they called
the Mutant Gang

'cause they're actually,
like, mutated

or just 'cause
it sounds scary?

I'm thinking they're
a little less scary

without their leader.

- Oh.
- Nice work.

Thank you very much.

This one was kind of
personal, actually.

Probably should have
thanked the Mutant Leader.

He's the reason
I met your dad.

And became his sidekick.

Yeah, you mentioned that.

So did my dad.

He wrote about it
in his journals.

So, how does that happen?

Is there, like,
a application process?

Batman took out an ad
in the "Gotham Gazette"?

Like "Mini-Bat wanted"?

The Mutant Gang threw him
off a building

in my neighborhood

and I pulled him to safety.

Oh, you saved
Gotham's savior.
That's cute.

I was actually just
returning the favor.

He'd been protecting
my neighborhood
since before I was born.

I thought I owed it
to Batman to help him

help the people
who needed it.

Well, I look forward
to reading all about it

in this little, uh...

OK. Fine.
Maybe later.

Anything in there that
can help us hunt down
the Court of Owls?

A lot of
conspiracy theories.

It's not exactly
a how-to on catching
my dad's killers.

Nothing concrete.
I can't help thinking

the most important pages
were the ones

that were ripped out.

Well, um, I have an
AP Bio exam to cram for.

It's gonna do to me what
the Mutant Leader couldn't.

Does it say in here
why daddy didn't

pick you to be
his sidekick?

I mean, Bat-points
for him not just doing

the whole nepotism thing,
and clearly,

Little Bird is qualified,
but I mean, come on,

It's gotta sting, like,
a tiny, bitty bit

that he just handed
his whole legacy to

some random stranger, right?

I'm sure he had his reasons.

OK.

After the Mutant
Gang's reign of terror

following the death of Batman,

Gotham can sleep a bit
easier tonight

now that Vernon Wagner,
also known by his

nom de crime
"The Mutant Leader,"

is safely
and, given his sheer size,

snugly behind bars.

Celebrating this victory
was Mayor Hill.

On my order,
the brave men of the GCPD

have captured
the degenerate leader

of the Mutant Gang,
and starting today,

we're deploying 100 more
officers to hunt down

the rest of the Mutants.

And I can think of
no better way to celebrate

the taking back of our city than
at the Founders Gala tomorrow,

knowing that we made the streets
of Gotham safer today.

Mr. Mayor! Mr. Mayor!

Is that really gonna work?

Does it make the streets
of Gotham safer

when you pressure,
one of my ADAs into

dropping charges
against Brody March?

Kid clearly
learned his lesson.

Came down to the GCPD
to confess.

Nobody got hurt
and no money was stolen.

Right, because it was
donated to your
campaign coffers.

How big a contribution
did Lincoln March make
to your re-election fund?

Why? You trying to figure
out how much you gotta

raise to beat me
by November?

Or are you still
too scared to get
in the race?

I'll see you at the gala.

"GCPD Captures
Mutant Gang Leader."

The press always
gets it wrong.

We have AP English
together, right?

I'm Stephanie,
you're Carrie,

and we have a lot more
in common than that.

Another case of
a man taking credit

for a woman's work.

I don't know
what you mean.

Turner filled me in
on your extracurriculars.

Can't be easy,
picking up the Bat-mantle.

That why you're catching
extra Zs in the stacks?

I don't care if
the cops took credit.

I just wish Batman
was here to see me
take him down.

You know,
I knew Bruce a little.

He'd be proud of you.

Hey, Steph.

Um--

Carrie.

Well. I don't know
what's more surprising--

to see you
actually in the library

or to see you
not behind bars.

Thanks again for that,
by the way.

Got 3 months
community service.

Of course your dad
got you off.

Pays to be a March.
As long as a March pays.

My parents are punishing me
in other ways. Trust me.

Anyway, the reason
I'm here in the--

what'd you call this place?
The...library?

Ha. Is because
I wanted to ask you

if you wanted to come to
the Founders Gala with me.

I know you hate
those parties.

I hate those parties,
but come with me.

We can hate
the party together.

Your dad legit
just got you out of jail.

Is he gonna let you
out of the house?

I told you my parents
were punishing me.

This is the punishment.

You in?

You said yes?

What was I supposed to say?

Brody lied to the police
about hacking the banks.

For me.
I kind of owe him.

Yeah, I'm with
Brownie on this one.

I mean, you got her into
trouble, he got her out, so,

think that earns her
a ticket to the Brodeo.

Please stay off my side.

And I highly doubt
that me splitting

a cheese platter
with Brody

is your most
pressing concern.

OK. Where are you
on your clue trail?

At a dead end.
But check this out.

My dad wrote about his theory
that the Court of Owls

were hunting the Wayne
family for over 100 years.

Starting with his
great-great-grandfather
Alan Wayne.

But all the accounts
of the time say that

he drowned in a sewer
when he accidentally

fell into a manhole.

Newspapers attributed it
to dementia but

here's where
it gets interesting.

Witnesses at
the time said that

he was
last heard screaming,

"The owls are in my house."

That can't be
a coincidence.

- Yeah.
- So, what now?

Well, I know what
the World's Greatest
Detective would do.

Can't solve the last murder,
go back to the first.

If the Court did kill
Alan Wayne,

maybe looking through
his cold case

will help us prove
they killed my dad.

Figure out how
they did it,
maybe see if

we can find out
who was involved.

It's a long shot.

All cold cases
are long shots.

But if you could
get your hands

on the original case file,
maybe we could

find something the police
missed back then.

Yeah, if the original
case file

wasn't collecting cobwebs
in the GCPD basement.

- Right.
- Can't exactly just

go and check it out.

No, but we could steal it.

- How?
- Why don't ya

leave that to the thieves
to figure out?

In a stunning development,

the Mutant Gang has now
claimed responsibility for

last night's downing
of a GCPD airship

that crashed into Ace Chemicals,

causing widespread fires
that at this moment

have not been contained.

If not for the brave efforts

of Gotham's firefighters,

toxic fumes
would have surely been

unleashed upon the city.

The motive behind
this senseless act of terror

became clear when
the Mutant Gang

threatened a wave of
retaliatory violence

against those responsible
for the arrest of their leader.

Wagner and his Mutants
are also suspected of being

the masterminds behind the...

You take down
the Mutants,

the GCPD
takes the credit,

and then the Mutants
take it out on
everybody but you.

I'm not sure if Batman
would be proud of you,
but I sure am.

Wait.
I'm going with you.

This is my mess
and I'm gonna clean it up

before anyone else
gets hurt.

You don't have
to do it alone.

You were my dad's backup.
Let me be yours.

I appreciate the offer.
I really do.

But you have enough to do
trying to clear your names.

Not until we can
jailbreak that

Alan Wayne file
out of the GCPD.

Until then, I'm
out of breadcrumbs.

You know we made a pretty
good team against the Talon.

Maybe we treat the
Mutant Gang to a bit
of that teamwork.

Look, the Talon is
a different story.

It's one thing to get
pulled into danger.

It's another to go
looking for it.

You're a wanted fugitive,
Turner. It's too big of a risk.

Is this about
me getting caught
or me getting hurt?

It's about your dad
not wanting you

to follow down
the same path.

You can't just walk into
the GCPD and take evidence.

You can if you're
in a cop uniform
holding these.

Evidence transfer requests.
Some of my best work.

Just a couple of hours in
the Gotham Academy Art Lab.

Let me see.

Oh. Looks like
the real deal to me.

Your mug shot is
plastered all over the city.

How are you not
gonna be recognized?

I could help with that.

Look, they only know me
as a scared kid.

They're not expecting
a rookie cop.

Yeah. Exactly.
Which you aren't.

This is too dangerous.

Yeah.
Yeah, it is.

And you know what?
He can handle it.

The Talon would have
turned me into a patty melt

if he hadn't pulled me
out of that car.

And, aah, your problem
is that you are

so busy trying
to protect your brother

that you haven't noticed
that he doesn't need it.

So, maybe it's time
for you to recognize

that he's a total badass.

Toodles.

Thanks for
sticking up for me.

It's nice to have
someone believe in me

even if it is you.

Oh, yeah, I just
said that because

there's something I need
you to do for me.

Mr. March, can we get
a picture over here?

Mr. and Mrs. March.

Please, call me Rebecca.

It's nice to finally meet you.

It's a shame we won't
be seeing your parents.

Your mom's been MIA from
the club for weeks now.

Yeah, Dad's taping
"Quiz Bowl" tonight.

Mom's been spending more time
at the studio to support him.

Of course.
Well, they must be
so proud.

Brody told us you're on
the fast track for MIT,

following in
your dad's footsteps.

Same as Brody
now going to State.

Heard you were
quite the fencer
in your day, Mr. March.

Won State 4 years running.

Shall we?

No pressure.

You'll do fine.
I'm certain.

Though I doubt we can
count on your next opponent

also being arrested for
murdering his own father.

Hey. How you doing?

Hi there.

Turner,
what are you doing here?

Waiting on a "thank you"
for stopping him
from shooting you?

One, I had him.
Two, now I can't

question him to find out
what they were
planning next.

So, thank you.

How'd you even
find this place?

The rocket that
took down that airship

came from the north, so,
from the point of impact,

it's a straight line
to this area.

There are, like,
50 warehouses in this area.

How did you narrow it down
to this one?

When I was little,
my dad and I
used to play a game.

He called it
"Sore Thumb."

Wherever we were--
dinners, parties--

he would have me
pick out

the thing that
didn't belong.

I always thought
it was just a game

to entertain
a bored kid,

but turns out...

He was teaching you
situational awareness.

Yup. So, when I saw
that this warehouse

was the only one
without security lights

and the gates were
padlocked from the inside,

I suspected somebody was
trying to hide something.

Looks like you put
those skills to good use.

I just can't figure out why
he would teach them to me

if he didn't want me
to use them.

I'm sure he had a reason.

These are from
Ace Chemicals.

So, it wasn't
a terrorist attack.

Crashing that airship
into Ace Chemicals
was to cover the fact

that the Mutants
were robbing the place.

What are they planning to do
with a bunch of chemicals?

They're empty.

Whatever they were planning,
they already did it.

Good to see you, Martin.

Miss Brown.

How are you
this evening?

Ah. Should I
get my lawyer

down here before
I answer that?

Harvey Dent.

Gotham's white knight...
in black tie.

Lincoln. Good to see you.

Have you met
my wife Rebecca?

No, I don't
believe I have.
Pleasure to meet you.

So, if you're here
glad-handing the donor class,

I assume the rumors are true

and you are running for mayor.

Right now,
my focus is on

the current job
I was elected to do.

Is that right?
All right.

Well, if you ever hope to be

a politician in this town,

better learn how to lie
better than that.

I have to disagree
with my husband.

I think you lie
quite well.

I almost believed you when
you told him we'd never met.

Sign 'em out,
you gotta sign 'em back in.

It's called chain of custody.

Yeah.

Ahem.

How you doing?

- What do you want?
- Yeah, I'm from
Somerset Precinct.

I just got a case file
transfer request.

Does this look like
the Records Room to you?

Uh, uh--

Down the hall,
third door on the left.

Look for a sign
that says "Records."

Hey.

Do they not teach you
anything over there

at Somerset, rook?

Coffee. You come into another
man's shop asking for stuff,

a little juice of the bean
goes a long way.

Right. I'll--I'll
remember that, sir.
Thank you.

Yeah. I'll remember you.

Uh, what's all this?

We were kind of hoping
you could tell us.

We found these chemicals
and some kind of blueprints

trashed at a Mutant Gang
stash house.

Any idea what they're up to?

Well, you've got
nitrobromide

and uridium oxidate.

Not much you can make
out of those.

They're both solubles.
They wouldn't even
cause a reaction

unless they were put under
pressure and aerosolized.

Damn. It looks like
they're making

some kind of
poison gas bomb.

To gas the city?

No. If you
release it outdoors,

it'll dissipate
too quickly.

For it to work, it needs
to stay concentrated,

like in an enclosed area.

- The GCPD.
- No.

Now that the cops
have Vernon in a cage,

I don't think
the Mutant Gang
would risk

killing their leader.

I know what
my daddy would do.

He would make a statement.

All right.
What does poison gas do?

Uh, it kills people?

Well, yes, but how?

- It chokes you to death.
- Ding ding ding!

Yes. And who better
to choke with it

than the people who've
had Gotham by the throat

since the very beginning?

The ones who are,
as we speak,

congratulating themselves
between bites of

little, overpriced
fish eggs.

The Founders Gala.

Yes! You are on fire

today, Little Bird.

I mean, come on.
All those

well-heeled hypocrites,

just gasping
for rarefied air.

The mayor.
The district attorney.

Stephanie.

Two virgin mojitos.

Really? 'Cause this one
tastes pretty slutty to me.

Yeah, I tipped
the bartender a 20
to pretend I'm 21.

You know, given our
recent brushes with the law,

I'm not sure adding
underage drinking

to our rap sheets
is a good idea.

You're about to have dinner
with my parents.

Trust me, you are
going to need it.

Your mom seems nice.

And my dad?

Your mom seems nice.

Huh. Yeah.
She is.

It's not always easy being
married to Lincoln March,

even though she
makes it seem that way.

Starting to get the sense
it's not easy being his son.

I have to get this.
Sorry.

Yeah.

Yes, the party is awful,
the lava cake is garbage,

my feet are killing me,
and I'm having a terrible time.

Steph, listen.
You have to get out of there.

What? Why?

The Mutant Gang's
about to do

something terrible.

- Who was that?
- Shots fired.

Grenade!

No need to panic.

We're just here to provide
the evening's entertainment.

Do you all like games?

Because I have one
that I think you'll love.

It's a very simple game.

It's called...

"What Does This Button Do?"

It's a chaotic
scene here at City Hall

as the Founders Gala
has been taken hostage

by the Mutant Gang, who have
barricaded themselves inside,

threatening to detonate
a chemical explosive

if the GCPD does not
release their leader,

Vernon Wagner,
by 10 p.m. tonight.

In these dark times,
I'm sure I'm not alone

in feeling that Gotham
could use a Batman.

Isn't that the truth?
In other news, Gotham...

So, you guys
are...going in?

We were kind of hoping
you would join us.

Uh, why the hell
would I do that?

You know how
to disable a bomb.

Yeah. Step One:
call the bomb squad.

They don't have
the instruction manual.
We do.

Besides, if they go in
and kick the door down,

then the Mutants will
just set off the bomb.

Sorry, how is what you're
planning any different?

Well, you don't
have to go through
the front door.

Decommissioned subway tunnels
will take you right under it.

Then you could
pop up into City Hall

like a stripper
popping out of a cake.

But you would need
someone to open the door
from the inside.

If I could arrange that,
would you show us the way?

Why would I risk
my life to save
a bunch of people

who don't give
a damn about me?

Same reason we saved you
from the Talon.

You do realize
it's impossible

to guilt me into
anything, right?

Fine. You'll get to punch
a bunch of Mutants.

Oh! Should've led
with that.

I'll get my purse.

All officers,
report to the briefing room.

You.

Briefing. Now.

I really gotta get
these records down
to Somerset, though.

All hands on deck, rook.

Hostage situation
at City Hall.

Briefing room. Now.

Take a seat.

All right now.
All right, everybody.

Listen up.
Settle down.

We got a hostage situation.

Here you thought you wouldn't
make this year's Gala.

Not exactly how I wanted
to join the party.

Everyone, stay on comms.

I'll do a sweep
while you guys

figure out where
they put the bomb.

For maximum dispersal,
they'll have put it

in the HVAC system.

Boiler room's this way.

But there might be
some of those Mutants

between here and there.

- Yah!
- Uhh!

Hmm.

We gotta get this thing
out of here.

Wait, wait.

See that?

It's a mercury
tilt switch.

Used to use it
in old thermostats.

You move it,
mercury closes the circuit.

Uh, what
does that mean?

It means the Mutants

are smarter than we thought.

You move
this thing--boom.

Then we have to
disable it here.

All right, listen up.
Rings, watches.

Trinkets. All in the bag.

Make a donation, everybody.
Let's go.

- I'll take that.
- Brody.

- Uhh!
- Come on, come on.

There's
a lot of red tape and I don't
have that kind of authority.

I don't care how much
red tape you've
gotta cut through.

There's gonna be
a lot more red down here

if you don't!

Release him.
On my order.

Huh. You hear that?

So, here's what
you're gonna do.

Do I honestly have to
tell you what will happen

if you give in
to their demands?

Um, we make it
out of this alive?

You will be sending
a message to every criminal

that not only do we
negotiate with terrorists,

but we give them
everything they want.

Hardly. We're trading
one Mutant Leader

for the rest of his gang.

This place is surrounded.

They're not
getting outta here.

And I am sending a message
to the criminals, Harvey.

Don't mess with us.

Careful. Don't want
to get bomb

all over your Valentino.

It's a May Nickel.

And that is
a mutating algorithm

that deletes itself
once complete.

Uh, what happens
when it deletes itself?

It deletes us.

Don't want this one
getting loose

while I go handle his buddies.

Uh, guys?
I just searched
for the frequency

that'll deactivate this thing

and there isn't one.

Just one to activate it.

So, it was meant to turn on
and never turn off.

So, the bomb's going off
no matter what?

That'd kill the Mutants
along with us.

Unless they
planned ahead.

They all brought these.

Maybe they always intended
to gas the place.

Gotta say, it's kind of
the perfect escape plan.

The GCPD releases the Mutant
Leader, they set off the bomb.

The GCPD doesn't release
the Mutant Leader,
they set off the bomb,

and then they all
peace out of here while

seizures and suffocation
get to fight

over what kills us first.

Great. Huh.
Just gonna hang on to this.

How much time do we
have to defuse it?

42 minutes.
And that's if

the GCPD doesn't release

the Mutant Leader before then.

We have to warn them not to.

Buy ourselves as much
time as possible.

Yeah. We're the last ones
they'll believe.

There is one person
the GCPD will believe. Harvey.

I just gotta make him
believe me first.

OK, and if he doesn't,
he'll have you arrested.

You're gonna risk that?

A lot of people
will die if I don't.

Sit down now. Quiet.

Nobody's gonna get hurt.

Calm down.

We've already taken
what we wanted from you.

Have a seat.

Come with me.

Sit down now. Quiet.

Ahh. OK. OK.

If you're gonna kill me,
just get it over with.

I'm not gonna kill you.

Turner.

What the hell
are you doing here?

We don't have much time.

That gas bomb is
in the boiler room,

and as soon as their leader
is released, the Mutant Gang

are gonna set it off.

That's their exit strategy.

Kill everybody here,

escape in the chaos.

You show up here

and you're dressed
like one of them

and now you're
telling me that you know

what they're
planning to do? How?

You need to trust me.

How can I do that?

You're a fugitive
who ran.

Because I was framed.

Then why not
let me help you?

Because you can't.

You asked me before if
I knew what that coin

they found
on my dad meant.

I didn't know then.

But I do now.

It's the symbol of
the Court of Owls.

They're a secret cabal
that's been
pulling strings in Gotham

since the city was founded.

Turner, this is insane.

Listen. The Court
killed my dad.

And now they're
trying to kill me.

And the others.

We can't trust anyone.

Then why trust me?

Because my dad did.

What do you need me to do?

We could try to cut off
the outflow of the aerosol.

Stop it
from releasing the gas.

And if the stainless steel
can't contain the pressure,

then, congratulations,
you've just turned

a chemical bomb
into a regular bomb.

I suppose you have
a better idea?

Yeah. Not doing your idea.

Right, because
Gotham Academy is renowned

for its Honors
Bomb Defusing classes.

Nope, just
basic science.

We're better off
disrupting the power source

to the valve
that pressurizes it.

That's your solution?
Cut the wire?

What's next?
Bang on it with a hammer?

The Mutants could've
built in a hidden redundancy,

in which case
you cut the primary,

this thing hot-boxes
half the city's
power players.

Oh, uh, and us.

Can you read me?

Me and Duela took out
as many Mutants as we could.

All that's left are
the ones in the Gallery.

How are you two
doing down there?

Can I talk to you?

You have
to recall the order

to release
the Mutant Leader.

Why the hell
would I do that?

Because if you don't,
we're all dead.

It's a double-cross.
They're gonna gas this place

the moment
you set him free.

Who told you that?

I'm asking you to please
just trust me on this.

Trust the guy
that wants my job?

Prisoner coming through.

Delta on point.
Transfer team ready.

Let's move him out now.

And things just got worse.

Cullen says they've
released the Mutant Leader.

Carrie, you guys need
to take out the rest of

those Mutants, like, now.

As you requested,
Vernon Wagner has been

released into
the sewer system.

Well ahead of
your deadline.

That's probably him now.

I'm in the subway system.

You are good to go.

Our leader's been released!

Now you will all be free.

Uhh!

Whatever
you're gonna do,

do it now.

We have to shut
that bomb down.

OK, I'm gonna disable
the pressure valve.

Too late.

Wait, no!

Freeze! Police!

What the hell was that?

Excuse me?

You know what
I'm talking about.

You mean the part
where I saved our lives?

No, the part where
you took a chance
with my life.

Which you still have,
thanks to me.

You cut the wire without
knowing what would happen.

Because I knew what
would happen if I didn't.

You do realize the only way
you win this argument

is by being dead, right?

No, because my way
would have worked,

only you didn't give
me a chance because

I didn't go to some
fancy private school,

but that does not make you
smarter than me.

I never said that.

Yeah. You did when
you cut that wire.

This isn't
your daddy's game show.

Now, why don't you go
back to your cozy bedroom

on the top floor
of your mansion.

Easier to look down
on me from there.

While
the hostage situation
has been resolved,

the leader of the Mutant Gang
is once again at large,

but Gotham can rest
a bit easier tonight,

thanks in part to
the heroic efforts--and fists--

of District Attorney
Harvey Dent.

Mr. Dent, we didn't find
any explosive devices
on the premises.

What? He had a detonator.

We swept
the facility, including
the ventilator ducts.

Nothing.
Maybe the Mutants
were bluffing

to get their
leader out.

Damn it.

So, we save everyone's lives

and Harvey Dent
gets all the credit?

Look, he can have
the credit as long as

we can have
the shiny stuff.

And what
the Mutants take...

we taketh away.

I know what
you're gonna say.
"This is so wrong.

The gala guests
were victims, too."

Not all of them.

It's a Court of Owls watch.

Just like
the one Ford had.

So is this one.

The Court of Owls
were at the gala

and we didn't even
know it.

There were
over 200 people there.

Which means we have no way
of knowing who they are.

Well, maybe this
will help us find them.

As promised.
Every scrap of paper

the GCPD has on
Alan Wayne's death.

Autopsy reports, eyewitness
statements, all of it.

If the Court did kill him,
hopefully there's

something in here
that'll lead us to them.

Uhh!

Think I'll do your
sparring partner a favor

and call a TKO.

They let him go.

After everything
the Mutant Leader has done,

and all the people
he's hurt.

And they let him go.

I know.
It's insane.

It's Gotham.

You try to change it
and it just changes you.

Makes me wonder
why I even do it.

Because you're
really good at it.

Not easy to say it,
but I gotta admit:

I'm jealous of you.

I see why my dad
wanted you as his Robin.

I just wish I'd gotten
to see that side of him.

Turner...you got
to see the side of him

that I never did.

The man who takes his kid
on camping trips.

Dad.

I was so young
when my dad died.

I never got to experience
that kind of stuff.

So, I'm jealous of you.

Well, it's clear
from his journals

how much he cared
about you.

It's also clear just
how responsible he felt

for every bad thing
that every bad guy

did in Gotham
that he didn't stop.

It was eating him
up inside.

And I can't imagine
he'd want that for you.

My dad didn't want me
going down his path.

And I may never
know why.

But I do know...
following in his footsteps

makes me feel
closer to him.

He wouldn't want you
to bear the weight
of his legacy alone.

Let me help you.

Risking your freedom
to save all those people?

It was very brave.
And, Turner,

your dad would be
so proud of you.

Is that a yes?
Come on.

What did you say that night
you followed my dad?

What convinced him
to let you help him?

I didn't convince him.
Not that time.

He said no.
And then
I followed him again

and then I asked him again
and he said no.

Actually, I got
a lot of nos.

But I just
kept on asking.

I guess I never gave up.

Kinda sucks to be
the Mutant Leader then.

With that
kind of persistence...

he won't be free for long.

Was not easy,
but I got it.

Not sure why you wanted that
from evidence lockup.

I thought you hated him.

Oh, I do.

This is just so I
don't forget how much.

Cullen?

No, I don't want
to hear it.

You walked into a building
with a bomb in it.

You're the last person
who gets to lecture me

about doing
something dangerous.
I can handle myself.

- I know that.
- Really?

'Cause you've been
treating me like some
weak, scared, little kid.

backed down from a fight.

Not against Dad,
not against anybody.

Cullen, you are
the bravest person I know.

I learned that from my
pain-in-the-ass sister, so.

I've been a citizen
of Gotham my whole life.

I grew up in Cobble Hill,
just across the river.

Ha ha!
That's right.

For as long as I can remember,
unchecked crime and corruption

have cast a dark shadow
over this city.

And I think it's time
we remind those criminals

that we are not helpless.

We will no longer live
in the grip of fear.

That we will fight
for a better Gotham,

fight for a brighter tomorrow.

Get us the hell out of here!

And we will let a new dawn
of hope shine down

on the streets of
this great city.

That is what I want.

No! No!

No! Oh, no! No!

And that is why
I am running

for mayor of Gotham.
