The Dark Knight Rises Page #4
ALFRED:
Mr. Wayne is as determined to
ignore important things as trivial
ones.
MALE VOICE (O.S.)
Don't take it personally, Miranda.
They turn to see a man in his fifties. Daggett.
DAGGETT:
Everyone knows Wayne's holed up in
there with eight-inch nails, peeing
into Mason jars. (To Alfred.) Good
of you to let me on the grounds.
ALFRED:
The Dent Act is about all Gotham.
Even you, Mr. Daggett. Miss Tate,
always a pleasure.
Alfred turns and walks off. Daggett smiles, glib.
13.
DAGGETT:
Why waste your time talking to the
man who threw away your investment
on some save-the-world vanity
project? He can't help you get your
money back. But I can.
MIRANDA:
I could try explaining that a
save-the-world project, vain or
not, is worth investing in,
whatever the return. I could try,
Mr. Daggett, but you understand
only money and the power you think
it buys, so why waste my time,
indeed?
She walks away. Daggett watches her go.
INT. DRAWING ROOM, EAST WING, WAYNE MANOR - CONTINUOUS
Close on the dinner tray. We hear a labored step approach.
Bruce Wayne appears, leaning on a cane. Gaunt. Grey temples.
He lifts the lid of his dinner, then freezes, hearing
something. He slowly limps into the next room...
INT. SITTING ROOM, EAST WING, WAYNE MANOR, CONTINUOUS
The Maid looks at framed photographs of Rachel, Thomas and
Martha Wayne. Some are half-burned. She notices an archery
target, arrows stuck in it. She reaches out. WHAM! An arrow
sticks into the target - the Maid spins around, flustered.
Wayne, at the other end of the long room, lowers a composite
bow. Picks up his cane.
MAID:
I'm, I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Wayne.
It is Mr. Wayne, isn't it?
Wayne nods, gently. Limps towards her.
MAID:
Although you don't have the long
nails... (Nervous laugh.) Or facial
scars...
She trails off, embarrassed. Coy. She seems very young.
WAYNE:
Is that what they say about me?
14.
MAID:
It's just that...nobody sees you...
Wayne approaches slowly. He nods at her pearl necklace.
WAYNE:
That's a beautiful necklace.
Reminds me of the one that belonged
to my mother. It can't be the same
one - her pearls are in this safe -
He reaches out with his cane to press open a panel on the
bureau, revealing a safe door...
- which the manufacturer clearly
explained is uncrackable.
...which swings open with an awkward creak.
MAID:
Oops. No one told me it was
uncrackable.
The Maid suddenly seems more confident. Older.
WAYNE:
I'm afraid I can't let you take
those.
She smiles at him. Moves towards him.
MAID:
Look, you wouldn't hit a woman any
more than I would beat up a
cripple.
She kicks his cane from under him, smashes him down.
Of course, sometimes exceptions
have to be made.
The Maid vaults onto the bureau and up to a high window.
Goodnight, Mr. Wayne.
She flips backwards through the window. Wayne smiles, then
rocks forward on his good leg and rises with athletic grace.
He looks at the safe, notices something. Powder...
EXT. DRIVE, WAYNE MANOR - CONTINUOUS
Moving toward the line of town cars, the Maid pulls off her
white apron, cuffs and collar, leaving a black dress and
pearls. A Valet hurries to open a car door for her - she
slips into a town car...beside the Congressman.
15.
MAID:
Can I have a ride?
The Congressman, a little tipsy, looks at her hungrily.
CONGRESSMAN:
You read my mind.
INT. EAST WING, WAYNE MANOR - LATER
Alfred enters, to find Wayne kneeling at the safe.
ALFRED:
Miss Tate was asking to see you
again.
WAYNE:
She's very persistent.
ALFRED:
And quite lovely, in case you were
wondering.
WAYNE:
I wasn't.
ALFRED:
What are you doing?
WAYNE:
Examining print dust. We've been
robbed.
ALFRED:
And this is your idea of raising
the alarm?
WAYNE:
(SHRUGS)
She took the pearls. Tracking
device and all.
ALFRED:
She?
WAYNE:
One of the maids, perhaps you
should stop letting them in this
side of the house.
16.
ALFRED:
Perhaps you should learn to make
your own bed, then. Why are you
dusting for prints?
WAYNE:
I'm not. She was.
EXT. ROOFTOP, MAJOR CRIMES UNIT - CONTINUOUS
Gordon brings a stack of files against the air duct, settles
to read. Next to him is a rusty, broken searchlight.
YOUNG VOICE (O.S.)
Sir?
