Gotham

Last season on Gotham...

It's in here. It's in this room.

My father's secret, it's in this room.

Going after Loeb is suicide. Plain and simple.

As usual, wrong place, wrong time.

You're a disgrace, Loeb.

What's black and white, and red all over? Stop talking like that.

Why did you kill your mother, Jerome?

Barbara, Jason Lennon killed your parents.

- You didn't kill them. - Yes, I did.

Goodbye, Fish!

- (YELLS) - (SCREAMING)

I'm the King of Gotham!

What is it, do you think?

- (THUNDER RUMBLING) - (RAIN SPLATTERING)

Bloody hell.

- No, wait, wait, wait! - (GRUNTS)

There must be a million possible combinations, Master Bruce.

Drink it all.

Thank you, master.

Now go.

Come on through. Let's go! Let's go.

I am Zaardon,

- the Soul Reaper! - (GUNSHOTS)

Foolish slaves! You cannot escape me!

Sir, drop the guns!

You! You!

Your primitive weapons cannot hurt me.

Prepare to die, insect.

Hey, listen. I don't want to shoot you, man, all right?

Too much paperwork. So why don't you just put the sword down?

Stay down. Relax.

- Yo, Gordon, what's up? Busy shift? - You're late.

Jeez, relax will you? What's the matter with you, man?

Hey! Bad idea.

How can this be?

Zaardon drank dragon's blood from the master's chalice.

- "Zaardon," that spelled how it sounds? - Two A's.

Close enough.

- You dare send me to prison? - Oh, no, you're a cinch for Arkham.

Hear me, Gordon.

You might have won this battle, but the war has just begun.

The master will unleash hell upon you. (LAUGHS)

Dark days are coming.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Ed.

- You okay? - Never better.

Officer Gordon 2-3-6-1-1.

Report to the captain's office immediately.

I'm up. See you.

He's gone. Relax.

Holy moley, look at you. Everyone's gonna think you're going nuts.

I get nervous when you talk to me with other people around like that.

Stop doing that!

- What? - That!

Copying me.

Dude. It's a mirror. That's how they work.

You know what I think we need?

I think that we need a little more fun. (CHUCKLES)

Some romance.

Stop. I know where this is going.

I told you, leave Ms. Kringle alone.

Imagine her in our arms.

Those big eyes looking up at us, and soft, trembling flesh...

Be quiet!

It's a simple question, Officer Gordon.

Did you or did you not put your hands on Officer Franks, here?

Yes. I did.

From the first day on the job, you've been an insubordinate troublemaker.

I hoped demotion to uniform duty would suffice to make you quit.

It worked for your partner, Bullock.

However, you've now confessed to violation of section 12.

Immediate dismissal is mandatory.

Commissioner, this is not just.

Officer Franks sustained no harm,

and Officer Gordon showed admirable restraint

in defusing a dangerous hostage situation.

Thank you so much for your input, Captain. The facts speak for themselves.

The facts say he deserves commendation, not dismissal.

You're letting gutter politics--

That's enough, young lady. Take Officer...

Mr. Gordon's badge and gun. That's an order.

All good. Let it go.

Thanks, though.

It's been an honor working for you.

This is all for the best, you know.

Some men are just not meant to be cops.

I told you I'd break you.

I will.

What did you say to Loeb? Did you get mad?

Well, I disagreed with his decision.

Come on, you know I need the details.

I said I'd break him. Words to that effect.

Hey. You went out with a bang.

Maybe it's for the best.

That's what Loeb said.

Should've walked away. I just hate to quit.

You didn't quit, you were fired. What can you do?

There's things I can do.

I thought you said you didn't have any legal moves left.

I don't.

You wanna be a cop so bad, you're willing to break the law?

Willing to bend it a little, yeah.

You're happy I got fired, huh?

You got me.

But only because I know that you'll never quit.

And I love that about you.

But they have you directing traffic, Jim.

Why keep beating your head against the wall?

I'm a cop, Lee.

I'm a cop.

Hi, gorgeous. I'm Jerome.

Keep moving, ginger.

Just being polite. So what you in for?

Killing my parents.

Oh.

Me, too! Well, mom, anyhow.

Liberating, right? Oh, what a rush!

All righty then.

You see the big handsome fella staring at you like you're fried chicken?

Richard Sionis. He's a millionaire. Got his own airplane.

Got a boat with a hot tub on it.

And he killed 25 people, just for fun.

So what?

So, he likes you.

- He wants to be your friend. - Hmm. Let me think. No.

A girl needs a good friend in here.

See, the guards, they don't care.

They figure bad things happen to bad people.

And they happen all the time. All the time.

Hey, you. Hello!

Baldy! Here, here. Hello, yes.

Hi. Come here.

Hi.

Hi.

My name is Barbara.

- Would you be my friend? - Yes.

Hey. If someone here tries to hurt me, would you protect me?

Yes.

Thank you so much.

- (BOTH CHUCKLE) - Cutie.

- Now I have a friend. - You're bad.

Yeah, so why don't you go make me a sandwich?

Your friend is a gorilla. My friend runs the joint.

And he can get you things that other people can't get you.

- Things like what? - Anything you need.

I need a telephone.

Odgen Barker, in for 70 grand plus two months' vig,

250 and change.

Says he owes Falcone, Falcone's gone, so his debt's forfeit.

Well, we can't have him saying that.

What if everybody started saying that? There'd be anarchy.

- What is it? - (WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY)

Oh, splendid.

Jim, come on in.

My dear old friend.

We need to talk.

Oh. Leave us.

Hey, Selina. Moving on up, huh?

Trying.

Isn't she darling? It's like having a cat around the house.

But no horrid dead mice.

I need a favor. I figure you owe me one.

I do?

I'm always happy to help you, Jim, but I don't recall--

The hospital. I saved you from Maroni's men.

But I was only there because you arrested me.

For attempted murder.

Remind me again why I let you go.

Enlightened friendship.

I'd call us even, but let's not quibble.

I'm so happy you came to me for help, Jim.

The answer is yes. Your wish is granted.

You don't know what it is yet.

You want Loeb fired and your old job back. No?

Yes.

For a good friend like you, it can be done.

If you're sure that's what you want.

I'm sure.

May I ask why?

Police work in Gotham is such a thankless job.

Good pension.

What does Lee think?

Who?

- Are you gonna help me or not? - Relax. I already said I would help.

He is so brusque, isn't he?

Thank you. Oh, while I think on it,

perhaps there's a small favor you could do for me in return.

I know how you hate to owe favors.

I am having a small business dispute with a friend of mine, Odgen Barker.

You have a persuasive personality. Perhaps you can talk to him.

You want me to collect a debt for you?

I want you to prove to me that our friendship is a real one.

Based on trust and equity.

That's fair.

No, sorry. Can't help you. Congratulations on all your success.

Be good, Selina.
