Batman: The Dark Knight Page #7

---

Alright people! That's enough.

Let him be.

Thank you, detective. I got a date

with a pretty upset girlfriend.

Thank you, counselor.

Stay away! All of you.

I don't want anything for his mob lawyer

to use, you understand?

Back from the dead?

I. .. I couldn't risk my

family's safety.

What do we got?

Nothing. No matches on prints, DNA, dental.

Clothing is custom, no labels.

Nothing in his pockets but knives and lint.

No name, no other alias.

Go home, Gordon. The clown will keep til morning.

Go get some rest. You're going to need it.

Tomorrow you take the big job. You don't have

any say in the matter, Commissioner Gordon.

I'm sorry, I couldn't risk ...

-- Heads up big bastards!

-- I don't feel good...

You're a cop killer.

You're lucky to be feeling

anything below the neck.

Police!

Stay away from the bars!

My insides hurt.

Did Batman save you, Daddy?

Actually this time I saved him.

Has he said anything yet?

Evening ... Commissioner.

Harvey Dent never made it home.

Of course not.

What have you done with him?

Me? I was right here.

Who did you leave him with?

Your people?

That's assuming of course that they

are still your people, and not Maroni's.

Does it depress you, commissioner?

To know just how alone you really are?

Does it make you feel responsible

for Harvey Dent's current predicament?

Where is he?

What's the time?

What difference does that make?

Well, depending on the time,

he may in one spot or several.

If we're gonna play games...

I'm gonna need a cup of coffee.

Ah, the good cop, bad cop routine?

Not exactly.

Never start with the head, the victim

gets all fuzzy. He can't feel ...

See?

You wanted me. Here I am.

I wanted to see what you would do.

And you didn't disappoint.

You let five people die.

Then you let

Dent take your place.

-- Even to a guy like me, that's cold.

-- Where's Dent?

Those mob fools want you gone

so they can get back to the way things were.

But I know the truth.

There's no going back.

You've changed things ... Forever.

Then why do you want to kill me?

I don't want to kill you!

What would I do without you?

Go back to ripping off mob dealers?

No, no. No! You .. complete me.

You're garbage. You kill for money.

Don't talk like

one of them. You're not!

Even if you'd like to be. To them you're

just a freak. Like me.

They need you right now.

When they don't,

they'll cast you out.

See there are morals, your code ...

it's a bad joke.

Dropped at the first

sign of trouble.

They are only as good as

the world allows them to be.

I'll show you. When the chips are down

these civilized people,

they'll eat each other.

See, I'm not a monster.

I'm just ahead of the curve.

Where's Dent?

You have all these rules

and you think they'll save you.

He's in control.

I have one rule.

Oh .. Then that's the rule you'll

have to break to know the truth. .

Which is?

The only sensible way to live

in this world is without rules.

And tonight you're gonna break

your one rule.

I'm considering it.

No, there's only minutes left, so you're gonna have to

play my little game if you want to save one of them.

You know for a while there I thought you really

were Dent. The way you threw yourself after her ...

Look at you go?

Does Harvey know about

you and his little bunny?

Where are they?

Killing is making a choice.

Where are they?

Choose between one life or the other.

Your friend, the DA, or his blushing bride-to-be?

You have nothing to threaten me with.

Nothing to do with all your strength.

Don't worry.

I'm gonna tell you where they are.

Both of them. And that's the point.

You'll have to choose.

He's at 250 52nd street.

And she's on Avenue X, at Cicero.

-- Which one you going after?

-- Rachel.

We're getting Dent!

Hello! Can anybody hear me?

Hello!

-- Rachel?

-- Harvey!

Oh, Harvey! Thank God!

Are you okay?

I'm alright. I'm in a warehouse.

They've got me wired to these oil drums.

I am too.

Harvey ...

I want...I want my phone call.

I want my phone call!

I want my phone call.

That's nice.

How many of your friends have I killed?

I'm a twenty year man.

I know the difference between punks

who need a little lesson in manners...

and the freaks like you

who just enjoy it.

And you've killed six of my friends.

Please. My insides hurt.

I don't really care! Back away.

The boss said that

he'd make the voices go away.

He said he'd go inside and

replace them with bright lights.

Like Christmas!

You're out of your mind, pal. Back off!

Medic right away in the holding

deck. Come on, get the door open.

You guys back off!

Listen, we don't have a lot of time. He told me

that only one of us was going to make it.

And that they were

going to let our friends choose.

Okay, Rachel. It's going to be fine. It going

to be all right. They're coming for you.

Okay. I'll help you. Talk me through

with what's going on with you.

Can find anything sharp?

I'm trying.

What...Harvey?

Harvey, what's happening?

All available units.

Converge to 250 52nd street.

Do you want to know

why I use a knife?

Guns are too quick. You can't

savor all the little emotion.

You see... In their last moments

people show you who they really are.

So, in a way I know your

friends better than you ever did.

Would you like to know

which of them were cowards?

-- What's that?

-- He's got some kind of a contusion.

I know you're going to enjoy this.

I'm gonna have to try and enjoy it even more.

Easy! Easy!

Drop the weapon now! Let him go now!

Drop the weapon!

-- Sorry.

-- What do you want?

I just want my phone call.

What ... What's happening?

Just talk to me

for one second.

Alright.

Is that a ... phone?

Mount the curb!

Harvey ... just in case,

I want to tell you something.

Don't think like that, Rachel!

They're coming for you.

I know they are.

But I don't want them to.

I don't want to live without you and

I do have an answer for you.

My answer is yes.

No! No! No! Not me. Why

are you coming for me? No!

Rachel! Rachel!

Harvey ... Okay.

Harvey, it's okay. It's alright.

Listen. Some ...

No!

Rachel! No!

Hello there.

Back at the MCU

the Joker's gone.

With Lau?

The Joker planned to be caught.

He wanted me to lock him up in the MCU.

Dear Bruce.

I need to be honest and clear.

I'm going to marry Harvey Dent.

I love him and I want to spend

the rest of my life with him.

When I told you that if

Gotham not longer needed

Batman we could be

together, I meant it.

But now I'm sure the day won't come when

you no longer need Batman.

I hope it does. And if it does,

I'll be there. But as your friend.

I'm sorry, Harvey.

I'm sorry I let you down.

If you lose your faith in me,

please keep your faith in people.

Love, now and always,

Rachel.

I prepared a little breakfast.

Very well, then ...

Alfred.

Yes, master Wayne.

Should I bring this on her?

I was meant to inspire good.

Not madness, not death.

You have inspired good. But you spat
