" Previously on Gotham..." " My best wishes to" "Commissioner Essen." " Welcome back, Jim." " I don't know how you pulled this off, but I'm glad you did." " Sometimes the right way is also the ugly way." " There's been an incident at Arkham Asylum." " Six inmates have escaped." " Barbara Kean was one of them." " Oh, my God." " The world sees criminal lunatics." " I see brilliance." " Gotham will tremble before you." "" I beg of you, my son, please choose happiness." "" Unless you feel a calling." " A true calling."" " Mr. Mayor, you want to know what I really am?" " Yes, sir." " Shall I tell you?" " Please, please." " At heart..." "I'm an ardent student of human nature." " Fascinating paradox, we are." " So wise, and yet so foolish." " So brave, and yet so fearful." " For instance, this is a glass jar." " Inside of it is a hairy spider." " A tarantula, I guess, but I'm no expert." " In a minute, I'm gonna open that little hatch in the front of your box, I'm gonna drop the spider inside, and I'm gonna close it." " That's choice A." "Choice B:" "I open the hatch, you speak to your lovely secretary Maggie on the telephone, you tell her you've run away with some woman, you'll be sending written instructions shortly." " So which is it, choice A or choice B?" " Choice B, please." " Please, choice B." "The telephone." " Of course." " It's human nature." " See?" " There is no spider." " But if you don't do what I ask, you'll wish there was one." " Why are you doing this to me?" " Don't fret so." " You're part of a great endeavor." " A great cleansing." " Monsters are coming, Mr. Mayor." " Monsters." " Who will cleanse this city in blood and fire." " What the hell is this?" "" Where is Mayor James?" " Who is his mystery lover?"  No one cares who the mayor is banging!" " You can do better than this, people." " Now go out and get me some headlines, damn it!" " Yeah." " All right, all right." " Oh, my God." " Perfect." " Next." " Mr. X." "A little to the right." " Okay, that's the spot." " Perfect." " What shall we do with the... spare?" " I know." " Aaron." " Would you kindly?" "" Maniax!"" " Now that's a headline." " You all know what we're facing here." " 48 hours ago, six criminally insane inmates were busted out of Arkham Asylum." " Yesterday, four of those inmates broke into Yellen Shipyard, kidnapped seven workers, then dropped them off the roof of the Gotham Gazette." " As of now, we still have no leads on the person or persons behind the breakout." " Jim Gordon's lead." " Jim." " These are our targets." " Jerome Valeska, 18 years old." " Matricide." " Arnold Dobkins, schizophrenic." " Poisoner, rapist." " Aaron Helzinger." " Killed his entire family with his bare hands." " Robert Greenwood." " Killed and then ate a dozen women." " Barbara Kean." " Killed her parents." " We're gonna work this in groups of four." " I'll hand out assignments throughout the day." " Alvarez is my coordinating officer." " Any questions?" " Let's get to work." " Fine job yesterday, gentlemen." " We opened big." " The whole city knows your name now." " So, bravo." " Let's give ourselves a round of applause." " Now that we have Gotham's attention, it's time for the Maniax to make a grand entrance." " Wasn't that it?" " That was the overture." " Now the audience is hushed, expectant." " The curtain rises..." "Then what happens?" " Oh, then we confront Gothamites with their most primal fears." " Take from them all they hold dear and sacred." " And then what happens?" " Why, then, we offer them salvation." " And then they are ours." " Let's get busy, man." " Patience." " First, you gentlemen need to learn a little stagecraft." " Stagecraft?" " You're going to be on TV." " You have to present yourselves with style and vigor." " Dobkins, say "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."" " Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." " Again, with a smile." " Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." " You." " Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!" " Not bad." " Sinister and authoritative." " Never mind." " Jerome." " Ladies and gentlemen, good evening!" " Very good." " Boyishly charming." " The laugh is fabulous." " Use that." " Now me." " I am so glad that you two are getting along, but we're a little busy here, so if you could leave the poor mayor alone..." "We're bored." " Yeah." " Why do the boys get to have all the fun?" " Your time is coming." " I told you." " You haven't killed him, have you?" " No, I don't think so." " Nope." " Hanging in there." " When?" " When is my time coming?" " Soon." " Very soon." " Why don't you tell me about James Gordon." " What do you want to know?" " It's hard to believe." " My father's been sneaking down here for years, and I never even knew about it." " That makes two of us, doesn't it?" " Wait." " Let's just think about this." " Are you certain you want to turn that bloody thing on?" " Of course I'm certain." " Have you thought it through, Master Bruce?" " This computer could contain all my father's research into Wayne Enterprises." " All this time, I've been looking for a smoking gun, and here it is." " Exactly." " A smoking gun." " Now, guns are for grown-ups, aren't they?" " That's a metaphor, Alfred, not an argument." " Here it is." " It's working!" " What are you..." "What are you doing?" "!" " Alfred, stop!" " What are you doing?" "!" " No, what are you doing, Alfred?" "!" " Alfred, stop it!" " It's ruined!" " It's ruined!" " What's wrong with you?" "!" " Why would you do that?" "!" " Answer me!" " It had to be done, Master Bruce!" " This was the key to exposing Wayne Enterprises." " Everything that I've worked for, everything my... everything my dad worked for is now gone!" " Because of you!" " If I'd known what was down here," "I would have never helped get you in." " I mean, look around you." " Look, look." " Liters of blood." " A bulletproof vest with two slugs in it!" " Guns, weapons!" " I mean, whatever's on that computer probably killed your father, and I'll be damned if I see you suffer the same fate," "Master Bruce." " I'm trying to protect you." " I'm trying to keep you safe." " I want you to go." "  Look, I know that you're..." " No." "  that you're upset, you..." " Alfred." " I want you to go and never come back, do you understand me?" " You're fired." " Very well, Master Bruce." " As you wish." " Ooh!" " Shiny." " Give that back." " I saw it first." " No, you didn't." " I said give it back." " Make me, you little brat." " Your samurai skills are excellent Greenwood San, but they are nothing compared to me." " Prepare to die!" " Rum, rum, rum!" " That's enough!" " That's good." " I tried to stop them." " Boys, we're a team." " We don't fight amongst ourselves." " Yeah, we're a team, boys." " And I'm the captain." " Captain of my foot." " I've murdered a dozen women." " Terrorized the city." " What have you done?" " Chop up your mommy?" " Everybody has to start somewhere." " See, I have vision and ambition and brains." " You're just a nutty old cannibal." " How many people can you eat before that shtick gets old?" " I could eat one more." " I can see we're gonna have to resolve this one once and for all." " You all know this game," " right?" "  Oh, love it." " Who wants to be the boss?" " Ladies first." " Hey, Greenwood, what's the secret to good comedy?" " Timing." " And what's courage?" " Grace under pressure." " And... who's the boss?" " I'm the boss." " I believe you are, Jerome." " I believe you are." " Arigato, sensei." " Whoo!" " Hee!" " Thank you." " Four lunatics and Barbara?" " Brother, you got no luck." " I told you civilian life was better, didn't I?" " Yeah, you did." " Actually, that's kind of why I'm here." " Yeah?" " Yeah." " What are you doing here?" " Jim, you remember" "Scotty, my girlfriend." " Fiancée." " Right, my fiancée." " Yeah, Scotty, good to see you." " Relax, honey bun." " We're just talking." " Oh, like hell you are." " He's gonna ask you to come back to work." " He didn't ask me anything." " We're just having a chat." " Oh, is that right?" " Is that why you're here, Detective?" " Just to have a chat?" " No, no." " She's right." " Harvey, I need your help." " The case is a bear." " We're short-handed, and, I was thinking maybe you could..." "He has a life." " The answer is no." " He is not coming back." " Hon." " I'm telling him no." " But it's like she said," "I have a life." " I get it." " I get it." " I'm happy for you." " Just a thought." "  Wish me luck." "  Good luck." " Jim, one last thing." " One last thought from your Uncle Harvey." " These Maniax killed a bunch of people from the shipyard, right?" " Yellen Shipyard, yeah." " Why there?" " They could've gone anywhere, killed anyone." " But these lunatics specifically chose that shipyard." " I... wonder why." " Good to see you." " Scotty." " Yeah." " Call you back." " Commissioner!" " Tell me something good." " Please." " Harvey isn't coming back." " That's not good." " But he did suggest a lead that panned out nicely." " Turns out, the Maniax stole a refueling truck from the shipyard yesterday." " Why wasn't it reported?" " It was one of over a hundred service vehicles." " Took a while to track down the entire fleet." " But when we did, we found that one was missing." " Fully loaded with gasoline." " You get a license plate?" " And a description of the vehicle." " Put out an APB." " God, I'm so glad you're back, Jim." " Me, too." " Wish I could say the same for Bullock." " I-I can't believe he's really gone." " He's a cop." " He was born to be a cop." " Not anymore." " He's a happy man." " I didn't have it in me to push him." " You ever think about that?" " Walking away, I mean." " No." " You?" " I did, for a long time." " But not anymore?" " I've sat back and watched all the corrupt, lazy men buy their way into this job and waste it." " Not me, Jim." " Not me." " A new day." " You're damn right." " I'd just like to say it's been an honor and a privilege to serve you and your family, sir." " Thank you." " If you need any references, I'll be happy to provide them." " Is that all you're taking with you?" " It's all I have, sir." " Right." " Well..." "Oh, dear, yes." " I best be off." " I've got a train to catch." " Good-bye, sir." " Good-bye, Alfred." " Beg your pardon, sir?" " I said good-bye." " Yes." " Good-bye, sir." " I spy with my little eye something that is... yellow." " Score, Gotham, score!" " We want more!" " Hit 'em where it hurts and knock 'em to the floor!" " Yay, Gotham!" " Oh." " Hello, Ms. Kringle." " Hello, Mr. Nygma." " How's your day going?" " Fine." " Question for you." "  Y-Yes?" "  Um..." "Did you know that houseflies hum in the key of F?" " No." " No, I-I did not know that." " Okay, then." " Well... bye." " Bye." " Damn it!" " We agreed you were going to ask her out." " No, we didn't agree to ask her." " We agreed to think about asking her." " But there's no point." " She doesn't like you." " Maybe she'll like me." " You ever consider that?" " Maybe she'll like me." " I got confidence." " Ladies love that." " No, she won't like you." " She won't." " Go away." " Please, just go away!" " We got a sighting of the stolen truck." " Yeavely Park." " I want you all to know this was a very difficult decision for us." " It was between you and a senior citizen bingo party." " In the end, we decided to skew a little younger." " Youth won the day." " Sorry." " Give me an "O"!" " I said give me a "O."" ""O."" "Give me an "N."" ""N." Give me another "O"!" " " O."" " What does that spell?" "" Oh, no!"" " Do it!" " Do it!" " Do it!" " Ready?" " Okay!" " This is so embarrassing." " Anyone got a light?" " I do." " I got..." "Stand your ground, boys." " They can't shoot at a bus." " Hold your fire!" " Hold your fire!" " Aaron, Greenwood, get the truck started." " We're gonna blow this barbecue." " Light 'em up!" " Everybody okay?" " Who broke you out, Dobkins?" " Gonna have to talk sooner or later; tell me now." " I'm a victim here, sir." " I was coerced." " Abducted and coerced." "  By who?" "  If I tell you that," "I got to get some kind of guaran..." "I understand you were just trying to protect me." " But there's nothing... nothing that you can do to stop me from carrying out my father's work." " I know that now." " I don't want you to go, Alfred." " But you're either with me or you're against me." " And if you're against me, I don't have a choice." " I'm with you, Master Bruce." " I've always been with you." " But what you're doing is tantamount to suicide." " This is big boy stuff." " You're too young; you're not ready." " Then make me ready." " You-You've lived a dangerous life, and you survived." " So teach me." " Teach me how to do the same." " I'll do whatever it takes." " I'll train every day." " Yeah, well, you said that before, didn't you?" " That was before." " Now I know the truth." " And I know what I have to do." " I'll even go back to school if you want." " School, even?" " If I agree to help you, to make you ready, you must do exactly as I say and when I say it with no exceptions, is that understood?" " Understood." " But, in return, you must fix that computer." " Fix it?" " How on earth am I gonna do that?" " That's not my problem." " I'm not the one who broke it." " High caliber, high velocity." " Judging by the size of the wounds, it was definitely shot from some distance." " Someone knew how to shoot." " Who, damn it?" " And why cheerleaders?" " Where's the motive?" " They didn't even ask for a ransom." " They want headlines." " They want mass panic." "  Well, they got it." "  Yeah." " Let's see if we can I.D. that bullet." " Never know your luck." " Holding up?" " Holding up." " Love you." " Likewise." " Gin and tonic, please, governor." " Ice and a slice." " Nice place." " It is." " Been here before, then, have you?" " It's my regular spot." " Oh, right, you're a local." " Nice." " Don't I know you?" " Do you?" " Yeah." " You're that Mr. Fox, that scientific chap from Wayne Enterprises, ain't you?" " That is me." " Alfred Pennyworth." " Young Master Bruce Wayne's guardian." " Ah, yes." " It's a funny old game though, ain't it?" " Coincidence, I mean, me bumping into you like this." " I mean..." "I was just thinking about you." " Okay, Mr. Pennyworth, I'll bite." " What were you thinking about me?" " Oh, no. " Alfred," please." " Please, "Lucius."" " Lucius." " Lucius." " You know..." "I once knew this geezer called Onslow in the Isle of Dogs in the East End of London." " Lairy little scallywag, he was." " He was, too smart by half; never trusted him." " Anyway, one day, Lucius, he comes bowling up to me, and he asks me to do him this right iffy favor." " Oh, it doesn't matter what it was." " The point being, against my better judgment," "I agreed to do it." " But, Lucius, I told him, I told him straight, I said," ""You let me down, Onslow," "I'll tuck you up, sunshine, like a kipper."" " He swears blind, swears on his mother's grave he'd never do such a thing, but of course he did." " Couldn't help himself; he let me down." " So I tucked him up." " Like a kipper." " What is a kipper?" " It's a type of smoked fish." " Very nice with eggs and brown toast for breakfast." " But what I learned from Onslow is this." " There are two types of people on this planet, you see." " Them you can trust... and them you can't." " I cannot disagree." " Which kind are you?" " Both kinds of people would give you the same answer, wouldn't they?" " Exactly." " Exactly right." " There lieth the problem, Lucius." " You see, I need to confide in you." " But I need to know that you're trustworthy." " Perhaps I should decline your confidence." " I don't like the sound of these kippers." " Yeah, well, it's a bit late for that, unfortunately." " I mean, it's you, after all, Lucius, that created this mess when you told young Master Bruce that his dear old dead dad... was a stoic." "" Ah," exactly." " You see, there's a problem." " I got no one else to turn to." " I have to confide in you." " I see." " Do you?" " Let me just be crystal clear about this." " If it turns out... that I can't trust you," "I swear on my mother's grave, you, my old sausage... are a dead man." " I have only the best intentions for Bruce Wayne." " Well, another gin and tonic please, governor." " And whatever this young man is drinking, one for yourself." " How are you at fixing computers?" "  Hey, Alvarez!" "  Yo." " Let ballistics know we got a red ball for them, will you?" " On it." " Gordon." " Hello, Jim." " It's Barbara." " Hi, Barbara." " How are you?" " Oh, me?" " I'm fabulous." " How are you?" " I'm good." " What's new?" " Oh, Mr. Cool Guy, huh?" " You must be so mad at me." " Listen to me." " If you turn yourself in, I can help you." " How, Jim?" " By taking me back to Arkham?" " I don't think so." " You're sick." " Oh." " Of course." " Everything's always my fault." " So typical." " Listen to me." " I know you, Barbara." " I know you." " You're a good, kind woman." " This isn't you." " Oh, you could always make me laugh." " How do I look?" " I need to talk to Commissioner Essen right away." " It's an emergency." " Yeah, go ahead." " She's right upstairs." " Yo, Commish." " Yeah?" " Heard you were looking for us." " Barbara!" " Don't move." " You're wrong about me, Jim." " I tried telling you, but you never listen." " I'm listening now." " Yeah, sure you are." " Now." " Come on." " Let's go talk this through, huh?" " Oh, it's too late for that." " Aaron." " That's enough." " I'm not sick." " I'm free." " You don't get that." " I could explain it, but you should probably get back to work." " Who knows what went wrong while you were gone?" " Hell of a first week you're having, Commissioner." " I wish I could tell you that things were gonna get better for you." " They're not." " Here, bring that up here." " Get a better angle of the room." " Why are you doing this?" " To rule the world." " Blah, blah, blah." " But we'll settle for some dead cops and some good P.R." " Kidding." "  Yeah." " Whatever." " I get it." " You're just crazy." "" Crazy"?" " Look at me." " You can see I'm not crazy." " Very soon, little man, you will be dead." " And the world will go on without you." " You'll be nothing." " No one will even remember your name." " No." " That is where you're wrong, old lady." " We will leave a mark on this city." " We will spread across it like a virus." " Do you know why?" " There's nothing more contagious than laughter." " My line." " There's nothing more contagious than laughter." " That was strangely pleasant." " Do it again." " That's gonna leave a mark." " You got me." " My turn." " Lee?" " Jim!" " You hurt?" " No." " I..." "I-I was in my office, and I heard gunfire and I hid." " Where were you?" " Barbara was here." " She lured me away." " Essen!" " Hang on, Cap, hang on." " Boss, boss, stay with me." " Breathe." " It's a new day..." "Jim." " This is... indeed broken." " I have a lot of questions for you." " Ah, I imagine so." " Did my father tell you everything?" " Heavens no." " Your father, he was a very private man." " He had to be." " I simply helped with technical resources, like this computer." "  Do you know what's on it?" "  No." " I didn't want to know, to be honest." " But you can fix it?" " I should think so." " But it is going to take some time." " Well, thank you for your help." " I loved your father." " I regret that I never told him so." " I regret that I didn't help him more." " Hand me the soldering iron, will you?" " Yeah." " Master Bruce?" " What is it, Alfred?" " How you doing, Mr. Nygma?" " I got you an aspirin." " Thank you." " Detective Gordon!" " Bruce." " I heard the news." " I..." "I was worried something happened to you." " I'm very relieved." " Me, too." " Th-The last time that we met, I was..." "I was very hard on you." " I wanted to apologize." " You've been a really good friend." " She was a good woman." " Good cop." " It's good to see you, but you don't have to do this." " Let's not talk about it." " We are who we are, right?" " No use fighting it." " What does Scotty say?" " She'll understand." " Or she won't." " Guys." " You need to see this." " I'm reporting live from the scene of the GCPD massacre." " We have just obtained video footage of the attack recorded by one of the assailants." " I want to warn those of you watching, what you're about to see is very graphic." " Hello, Gotham City!" " We're the Maniax." " And I'm Jerome, the shot caller of our little gang." " We're here to spread the message of wisdom and hope." " Some people have no manners." " You're all prisoners." " What you call sanity, it's just a prison in your minds that stops you from seeing that you're just little tiny cogs in a giant absurd machine." " Wake up!" " Why be a cog?" " Be free like us." " Just remember, smile." " Oh!" " Time to go." " But don't worry." " We'll be back very soon." " Hang on to your hats, folks." " 'Cause you ain't seen nothing yet!"
