The Dark Knight Rises Page #7
SELINA:
No. But my friend over there...?
Stryver looks at Selina's 'date' drooling into a bowl of
nuts at the bar - he looks familiar...
SELINA:
Every cop in the city's missing
him.
Across the bar, the TV on mute -
MANHUNT FOR MISSING CONGRESSMAN.
Stryver looks at Selina.
STRYVER:
Cute. But they're not gonna be
looking in a place like this.
SELINA:
I don't know... You did just use
his cell phone.
Stryver glances down at the cell phone as - SCREECH - the
Thugs look out the window at cop cars and SWAT units
descending on the bar. Stryver glances at the window and -
SMASH - Selina CRACKS his head against the table, grabs
25.
Second Thug's gun hand, flips over the table, firing at the
other Thugs, who drop. The SWATs batter down the door.
Selina crouches, cowering, screaming.
SWAT:
It's alright, Miss. Just stay down
-
The SWATs barrel past, chasing the remaining Thugs back
through the bar and out into the back alley. Selina smiles.
EXT. ALLEY BEHIND BAR - CONTINUOUS
The Thugs turn and open up on the SWATs with automatic
weapons.
INT. DIVE BAR - CONTINUOUS
Selina moves to the door. Spots the Congressman under the
bar, clutching his bleeding leg.
SELINA:
Keep some pressure on that,
sweetheart.
She adjusts her dress in the broken mirror behind the bar.
Moves for the door.
CONGRESSMAN:
(WEAK)
Call me?
EXT. DIVE BAR - CONTINUOUS
Selina waltzes out - right into Blake. She feigns panic.
SELINA:
There's a man in there - he's
bleeding!
BLAKE:
It's okay, Miss. It's okay.
Blake helps Selina down onto the tailgate of a SWAT truck.
He heads into the bar, weapon drawn. Selina slips behind the
truck and into the night.
26.
INT. DIVE BAR - CONTINUOUS
Blake enters, gun drawn. Spots the Congressman.
BLAKE:
(INTO RADIO)
I've got the Congressman - bullet
to the leg, but he's okay.
EXT. ALLEY BEHIND BAR - CONTINUOUS
The SWATs return fire. The Thugs lay down cover fire, then
race around a corner into a smaller passage.
A cop car pulls up, blocking the mouth of the alley - Gordon
jumps out, gun drawn.
The SWATs approach the passage, massing on both corners
tactically. The two corner SWATs exchange hand signals,
counting down... They round the corner, aiming low and high.
The passage is empty.
The SWATs cover a fire escape, but Gordon spots at once -
GORDON:
Manhole!
He races to the manhole cover - SWATs wrench off the cover,
Gordon grabs a flashlight from the nearest SWAT.
GORDON:
You three, down with me. You two,
head down to cover the next exit -
SWAT:
Where -?
GORDON:
Get the DWP down here, now!
Gordon starts climbing down the ladder...
INT. SEWERS - CONTINUOUS
Gordon moves down the tunnel, flashlight low. Three SWATs
fall in behind...
27.
EXT. ALLEY BEHIND BAR - CONTINUOUS
Blake comes into the alley. Cops surround the manhole.
COP:
Where's the DWP guy?
BLAKE:
They went down there?
FOLEY:
(shaking his head)
And Gordon took SWAT in after them.
INT. SEWERS - CONTINUOUS
Gordon hears a noise up ahead - pushes forward, rounds the
corner. BANG! GUNFIRE. SWATs return fire, shots sparking off
the concrete walls, then - BOOM - behind him the tunnel
ERUPTS IN FIRE, blasting the SWATs. Gordon races forward,
tearing through the tunnels.
EXT. ALLEY BEHIND BAR - CONTINUOUS
Blake jumps back as a fireball bursts out of the manhole.
INT. SEWERS - CONTINUOUS
Gordon races around a corner, gun drawn. A noise makes him
turn - WHACK, he is clobbered from behind by a Thug.
EXT. ALLEY BEHIND BAR - CONTINUOUS
Blake pushes forward.
BLAKE:
Come on, we gotta get down there -
COP:
That was a gas explosion, kid -
BLAKE:
Gas? This is a sewer!
FOLEY:
No one goes in there till we know
what's down there.
28.
BLAKE:
We know what's down there, sir. The
Police Commissioner!
FOLEY:
Somebody get the hothead out of
here. And get me a DWP guy!
Blake backs off. Gets an idea - goes for his patrol car.
INT. SEWERS - CONTINUOUS
Thug 1 flips Gordon onto his back.
THUG 1
This one's alive. (Looks closer.)
Jesus. It's the Police
Commissioner.
THUG 2
What do we do?
THUG 1
Take him to Bane.
The two Thugs drag Gordon down through the maze of tunnels.
As they descend deeper they encounter work crews of muscular
men wielding large drills and jackhammers, working the walls
and ceiling of the larger tunnels. Some of the men are armed
Mercenaries, overseeing gangs of homeless street kids. They
stare as Gordon is dragged past. The Thugs drag Gordon
between two waterfalls, into -
