1. Man, just look at this place.Copy !req
2. I remember when these factories
were open 'round the clock.Copy !req
3. My pops used to work
in that one right there. Made paperclips.Copy !req
4. Then that fire hit a few years back,
and fwoosh!Copy !req
5. - What, you need paperclips?
No.Copy !req
6. We had a government worth a damn.
We'd rebuild, pump some life back in.Copy !req
7. But instead, we get to keep the slums
and all the tra...Copy !req
8. Hey, you see that?Copy !req
9. Yeah.Copy !req
10. Is that a... horse?Copy !req
11. Stand and deliver.Copy !req
12. - The road is no place for a lady.Copy !req
13. - You should run along home, dear.Copy !req
14. The treasury bonds
have performed well,Copy !req
15. but I think we want
to start transitioning to stocks,Copy !req
16. which can be volatile,
but will be worth it.Copy !req
17. All in all, your portfolio
is up 20 percent over last year,Copy !req
18. which is rather robust,
if I do say so myself.Copy !req
19. Are you listening to me?Copy !req
20. Portfolio's up. I'm still rich.
You're too marvelous for words.Copy !req
21. Yes, yes, and yes.Copy !req
22. So, what do you make
of these so-called ghost robberies?Copy !req
23. Obviously, some lunatic in a costume.Copy !req
24. - What does a ghost need money for?
- It's a good point.Copy !req
25. What about you, Pennyworth?
You think ghosts are haunting Gotham City?Copy !req
26. A city like this? I've no doubt.Copy !req
27. "There are more things
in heaven and earth, Horatio."Copy !req
28. - Didn't you have an uncle...?
- Indeed.Copy !req
29. Uncle Nigel was convinced
he'd seen the spirit of his late wifeCopy !req
30. wandering the moors outside of Axbridge.Copy !req
31. Right. Looking for the dog.Copy !req
32. - "Patches..."
"Patches, where are you?"Copy !req
33. I'm not sure which is stranger,Copy !req
34. Pennyworth believing in ghosts
or that you two are so chummy.Copy !req
35. Well, I was raised
to treat the staff like people, Bruce.Copy !req
36. You might want to give it a try sometime.Copy !req
37. Hey, remember that property up the coast
you were considering for Wayne Gardens,Copy !req
38. but you wanted something closer
to the city?Copy !req
39. - Sure.
- I bought it.Copy !req
40. - You didn't.
- Sure as hell did, son.Copy !req
41. Going to build some single family units,Copy !req
42. some low income housing,
a school, public park.Copy !req
43. Anyway, I'm finalizing
the deal later this week.Copy !req
44. Well, that sounds great.
Congratulations, Lucius.Copy !req
45. Thanks. You know, I could cut you in.Copy !req
46. You have more than enough just sitting
in that discretionary accountCopy !req
47. you won't let me near.Copy !req
48. Don't worry about that account.Copy !req
49. Think of it as my petty cash fund.Copy !req
50. Hm. I probably don't want to know
what you use that money for, do I?Copy !req
51. Trust me, you really don't.Copy !req
52. "Harvey Dent is just doing what
Mommy and Daddy taught him to do.Copy !req
53. Buy whatever he wants. So now he's trying
to buy the election, too."Copy !req
54. The press will just print anything
Mayor Jessop says now?Copy !req
55. You were supposed to get ahead of this.Copy !req
56. We tried, but Jessop's
got the papers in his pocket,Copy !req
57. and they're happy to run pictures
of you with your well-heeled friends.Copy !req
58. Two unions have already withdrawn
their endorsements and that's just today.Copy !req
59. Okay. Sure, we've lost some support
among the working class,Copy !req
60. but maybe we can fix it.Copy !req
61. Do some kind of press event
to show you're a man of the people.Copy !req
62. Fine. Set it up. I'm late for lunch.Copy !req
63. To the club, Henry.Copy !req
64. I asked Henry to take
a walk around the block.Copy !req
65. Hope you don't mind.Copy !req
66. What can I do for you, Mr. Thorne?Copy !req
67. It's more what I can do for you, Dent.Copy !req
68. You're slipping in the polls,
and I'm here to help any way I can.Copy !req
69. I thought you were backing Mayor Jessop.Copy !req
70. Sometimes you want
to bet on red and black.Copy !req
71. Then no matter what,
you come out a winner.Copy !req
72. And I always play to win.Copy !req
73. Which is exactly why I'm running.Copy !req
74. To save this city from the kind
of corruption you and Jessop...Copy !req
75. Yeah, I get it. You've got morals.Copy !req
76. But you can't save anyone unless you win.Copy !req
77. Hell, you're the DA.
You should know all about compromise.Copy !req
78. Way I hear it,
you pretty much wrote the book.Copy !req
79. - What are you...?
That's fine, Dent.Copy !req
80. Morality is usually
on a sliding scale for most men.Copy !req
81. Well, you know where to find me...Copy !req
82. if you wanna get back in the game.Copy !req
83. Something odd.Copy !req
84. Truck that was robbed last night was
carrying collections from a charity event.Copy !req
85. What makes that peculiar?Copy !req
86. There were five other armored trucks
in the city last night,Copy !req
87. all with more money.Copy !req
88. Why would the thief pick the west side
charity's truck over others?Copy !req
89. Our thief took the same risk,
but for less reward.Copy !req
90. Maybe I shouldn't focus
on what's being stolen,Copy !req
91. but who it's being stolen from.Copy !req
92. Just as Gotham rails
form the arteries of a great city,Copy !req
93. the people who ride it are its lifeblood.Copy !req
94. The mother who lives
in the east end but works downtown,Copy !req
95. the factory workers on the late shift,
all form the beating heart of Gotham.Copy !req
96. When I'm mayor, I'll see to it
that our trains are cleaner,Copy !req
97. - cheaper and safer than they've ever been.
- Huh?Copy !req
98. Now that I have your attention,Copy !req
99. allow me to relieve you of your valuables.Copy !req
100. Billfolds, coin purses, pocket watches,Copy !req
101. in the saddle bags, if you please.Copy !req
102. Here, take this.
And leave these people alone.Copy !req
103. Oh, no, sir.Copy !req
104. I wouldn't dream of taking a hay penny
from a man of your station.Copy !req
105. But I'll take everything this one has.Copy !req
106. - Farewell, gentlemen.Copy !req
107. What happened?Copy !req
108. Hyah!Copy !req
109. I realize it's unlikely, but perhaps
we should consider the possibility that...Copy !req
110. "The world is big enough for us.
No ghosts need apply."Copy !req
111. Ah, yes. "But when you
have eliminated the impossible,Copy !req
112. whatever remains, however improbable,
must be the truth."Copy !req
113. He's my favorite author as well, sir.Copy !req
114. So, what is it that remains here?Copy !req
115. One, this ghost only targets
the underprivileged.Copy !req
116. Two, from his appearance,
he's obsessed with the 18th century.Copy !req
117. And three...Copy !req
118. I need answers I can't get here.Copy !req
119. Welcome to Heritage Hill, Mr. Fox.Copy !req
120. - I'm Russell Craddock.
- Please, call me Lucius.Copy !req
121. The grounds are impressive.Copy !req
122. They are. Or, well, they used to be.Copy !req
123. - That cemetery I saw on my way in...
- The family plot.Copy !req
124. This property has been in the family
since they were pilgrims.Copy !req
125. I hope you'll be able to preserve it.Copy !req
126. - I think we can work that out.
- Thank you.Copy !req
127. I really hate to have to sell this place.Copy !req
128. But, you know, taxes will send a man
to the poor house.Copy !req
129. Let's get in out of the rain.Copy !req
130. I'll give you a tour of the old girlCopy !req
131. before we get to putting signatures
on dotted lines.Copy !req
132. Why, is that young Bruce Wayne?Copy !req
133. - Not so young anymore.
- It's good to see you, Wilma.Copy !req
134. I can still remember
all those long afternoons,Copy !req
135. you in here with your mother.Copy !req
136. You were always so interested
in knights and quests.Copy !req
137. I see not much has changed.
Can I help you with something?Copy !req
138. I'm trying to find out
who this coat of arms belongs to.Copy !req
139. But it's not in any of these books.Copy !req
140. Oh, no, it wouldn't be.
That's the Craddock coat of arms.Copy !req
141. They were one of Gotham's
founding families.Copy !req
142. But the name was struck
from the official historiesCopy !req
143. because of James Craddock's actions
during the Revolution.Copy !req
144. James, Gentleman Jim Craddock,Copy !req
145. was a wealthy aristocrat
and staunch loyalist.Copy !req
146. But he was also a gamblerCopy !req
147. who squandered much
of his family's fortuneCopy !req
148. and nearly lost their estate
on Heritage Hill.Copy !req
149. Since he was born of nobility,Copy !req
150. Craddock believed wealth was his right,Copy !req
151. and he blamed democracy
for his misfortunes.Copy !req
152. When he fell far enough,
he became a highwayman.Copy !req
153. But James Craddock was no Robin Hood.
The opposite, in fact.Copy !req
154. He stole from the poor to give to himself.Copy !req
155. When they finally caught him,
he was hanged at the old town gallows.Copy !req
156. You've been a big help, Wilma. Thank you.Copy !req
157. I never got to tell you how sorry I was
for what happened.Copy !req
158. Oh, I appreciate that.Copy !req
159. Is Lucius in? This is Bruce Wayne.Copy !req
160. I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne,
but he's not.Copy !req
161. Mr. Fox is finalizing
the details of a land acquisition.Copy !req
162. - At Heritage Hill?
- Why, yes. How did you...?Copy !req
163. Just let him know I called, please.Copy !req
164. Heritage Hill, Pennyworth.Copy !req
165. Don't spare the horses.Copy !req
166. Thrashing them now, sir.Copy !req
167. A few more John Hancocks,
and we're all done here.Copy !req
168. Who's that?Copy !req
169. One of my great, great, great uncles.Copy !req
170. He had the house built on land granted
to him by the King of England.Copy !req
171. But later, he became some kind
of criminal or a traitor.Copy !req
172. He ruined the family name for centuries.Copy !req
173. Call me traitor?Copy !req
174. Ungrateful wretch!Copy !req
175. You betray everything we stood for!Copy !req
176. Heritage Hill is the Craddock legacy,Copy !req
177. and you would sell it to rabble like this!Copy !req
178. Watch who you're calling names,
you son of a...Copy !req
179. Very well.Copy !req
180. You die first, then.Copy !req
181. - James Craddock.
- You know me.Copy !req
182. I know who you're pretending to be.Copy !req
183. Both of you, get out of here.Copy !req
184. So you know, I'm tearing down
this house first thing.Copy !req
185. Please do!Copy !req
186. You fight like a well-bred man,
so I give you leave.Copy !req
187. But I'll not be so forgiving, sir,
should our paths cross a third time.Copy !req
188. Did you really just stand there
and let Gotham citizens get robbed?Copy !req
189. Remind me to fire Gorman.Copy !req
190. This water can't be over
108 degrees or it'll cause nerve damage.Copy !req
191. I've treated every injury you've ever had.Copy !req
192. From scraped knees to gunshot wounds.Copy !req
193. I know what I'm doing.Copy !req
194. Hmm. For the sake of argument, let's
say our gentleman ghost is just that.Copy !req
195. A ghost. If it's true, how do I stop him?Copy !req
196. I believe there's someone here in Gotham
who might be able to answer that question.Copy !req
197. I'd say we're closed, but you
don't seem the sort who'd care.Copy !req
198. If you're Linton Midnite,
I need your help. I'm hunting...Copy !req
199. The gentleman ghost,
formerly known as James Craddock.Copy !req
200. And you don't know how to catch a ghost.Copy !req
201. Before today,
I didn't believe they existed.Copy !req
202. I appreciate a man willing
to broaden his horizons.Copy !req
203. Why would a ghost be stealing money?
What could he need it for?Copy !req
204. Every shade is different, but they're
all echoes of their former selves.Copy !req
205. Some are tethered
to where they lived or died.Copy !req
206. Others are doomed to repeat
in death what they did in life.Copy !req
207. You want to be rid of Craddock?Copy !req
208. This book contains the rite of passage
from this world to the next.Copy !req
209. You'll need two things.Copy !req
210. The original deed to Heritage Hill.Copy !req
211. Craddock believes he still
has a claim in Gotham.Copy !req
212. So you need to burn that claim.Copy !req
213. - And the other thing?
- The blood of a nobleman.Copy !req
214. Old ghosts, old magic.Copy !req
215. It wants what it wants.
And this one wants blood.Copy !req
216. This magic, it will fight back.Copy !req
217. Even if you think you can handle it,Copy !req
218. it will find weaknesses
you didn't know you had.Copy !req
219. A boon for a boon.Copy !req
220. I gave you what you needed.Copy !req
221. In exchange,
you return this to me when it's done.Copy !req
222. What's it for?Copy !req
223. You'll know.Copy !req
224. It was in the historical archives,
just as I suspected.Copy !req
225. Good to see those lock picks I got you for
your 12th birthday are coming in handy.Copy !req
226. No one will miss a 400-year-old deed.Copy !req
227. But getting this was the easy part.
Where do I find a nobleman in Gotham City?Copy !req
228. Actually, sir, the Pennyworth line
traces back to the Duke of Devonshire.Copy !req
229. - You never told me that.
- Frankly, sir, you never asked.Copy !req
230. The ritual could be dangerous.Copy !req
231. You should know by now, Master Bruce,
that I don't frighten easily.Copy !req
232. "With the first blade and the last,
we sever your ties to this plane.Copy !req
233. With the first breath and the last,
we speak you on your way.Copy !req
234. With the first wound and the last,
we consecrate your going with blood."Copy !req
235. We consecrate your going with blood.Copy !req
236. No!Copy !req
237. It must hurt you
to see the Gotham of today, Craddock.Copy !req
238. This vile city.Copy !req
239. There was a time when
the lower classes knew their place.Copy !req
240. A better time.Copy !req
241. When the few ruled the many, you mean.Copy !req
242. You say that with such distaste.Copy !req
243. Don't tell me,
"all men are created equal," yes?Copy !req
244. What utter rubbish.Copy !req
245. Goodbye, Craddock. Go back to hell.Copy !req
246. No! No, no! Ahh!Copy !req
247. Well, thank heaven.Copy !req
248. So close, guttersnipe.
And yet, so far.Copy !req
249. This old man is trying to fight me
to keep his secrets safe.Copy !req
250. One precious secret in particular
that he's protectingCopy !req
251. - like a candle in a storm.Copy !req
252. Perhaps it's something
he doesn't want you to know. Hm?Copy !req
253. Aren't you just dying
to find out what it is?Copy !req
254. Please!Copy !req
255. Kill me before he makes me kill you.Copy !req
256. No. Never.Copy !req
257. You ought to have done
as the old boy asked.Copy !req
258. Too late now!Copy !req
259. No.Copy !req
260. Master Bruce.Copy !req
261. You fool. What the hell were you thinking?Copy !req
262. If you...Copy !req
263. I can't do this job without you.Copy !req
264. Yes, Master Bruce.Copy !req
265. I know.Copy !req
266. I'm looking forward to a long bath, sir.Copy !req
267. Stay here.Copy !req
268. - A boon for a boon.
- You're welcome.Copy !req
269. Well, hello there, Jim.
Been a long time.Copy !req
270. My God! No!
You can't leave me with this man!Copy !req
271. Please! I beg you! I'll do anything!
But don't leave me! Please!Copy !req
272. What will you do with him?Copy !req
273. You probably don't want to know that.Copy !req
274. No, I probably don't.Copy !req
275. Nice doing business with you.Copy !req
276. Mr. Dent,
after the incident on the train,Copy !req
277. you dropped another 15 points
behind Jessop in the polls.Copy !req
278. And your biggest donors
have rescinded their campaign pledges.Copy !req
279. The war chest is empty.Copy !req
280. - Damn it!Copy !req
281. Leave it! Just get out.Copy !req
282. - I need to think.
- Of course, Mr. Dent.Copy !req
283. Thorne, it's Dent.Copy !req
284. Let's talk.Copy !req
