As the screens shut off, Bane comes in and walks over to one trader ]. This is a stock exchange! There's no money you can steal! Then why are you people here? I never cared who you were A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended. I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy.

I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known. You do not fear death. You think this makes you strong. It makes you weak. How can you move faster than possible, fight longer than possible without the most powerful impulse of the spirit: I do fear death.

I fear dying in here, while my city burns, and there's no one there to save it. As the child did. Then fear will find you again. Theatricality and deception are powerful agents to the uninitiated Members of the League of Shadows! I AM the League of Shadows, and I'm here to fulfill Ra's al Ghul's destiny! You fight like a younger man, with nothing held back. Oh, you think darkness is your ally.

But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING! The shadows betray you, because they belong to me! I will show you where I have made my home while preparing to bring justice. Then I will break you. Your precious armory, gratefully accepted! We will need it. I was wondering what would break first Why didn't you just You don't fear death Your punishment must be more severe.

But not of your body Home, where I learned the truth about despair, as will you. There's a reason why this prison is the worst hell on earth Every man who has ventured here over the centuries has looked up to the light and imagined climbing to freedom. And like shipwrecked men turning to sea water from uncontrollable thirst, many have died trying.

I learned here that there can be no true despair without hope. So, as I terrorize Gotham, I will feed its people hope to poison their souls. I will let them believe they can survive so that you can watch them clamoring over each other to "stay in the sun.

We will destroy Gotham and then, when it is done and Gotham is ashes, then you have my permission to die.

Pavel here but only one of you! First one to talk gets to stay on my aircraft! Who paid you to grab Dr. Tell me about Bane! Why does he wear the mask?

A lot of loyalty, for a hired gun! Or perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man, before throwing him out of a plane? At least you can talk. It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan. No one cared who I was until I put on the mask. If I pull that off, would you die? Was getting caught part of your plan? Pavel refused our offer in favor of yours, we had to find out what he told you. You got yourself caught! Now what's the next step in your master plan?

I'll get this to Mr. Fox, but no more. I've sewn you up, I've set your bones, but I won't bury you. I've buried enough members of the Wayne family. You see only one end to your journey.

Leaving is all I have to make you understand, you're not Batman anymore. You have to find another way. You used to talk about finishing a life beyond that awful cape. Rachel died believing that we would be together; that was my life beyond the cape. I can't just move on. She didn't, she couldn't. What if she had? What if, before she died, she wrote a letter saying she chose Harvey Dent over you? And what if, to spare your pain, I burnt that letter? How dare you use Rachel to try to stop me?

I am using the truth, Master Wayne. Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day. You expect to destroy my world and then think we're going to shake hands? It means your hatred But it might also mean saving your life. And that is more important. Victory has defeated you!

Blackgate Prison, where a thousand men have languished under the name of this man,. Harvey Dent, who has been held up to you as the shining example of justice! You have been supplied with a false idol to stop you from tearing down this CORRUPT CITY! Let me tell you the truth about Harvey Dent from the words of Gotham's police commissioner, James Gordon.

I praised the mad man who tried to murder my own child but I can no longer live with my lie. It is time to trust the people of Gotham with the truth and it is time for me to resign. And do you accept this man's resignation? Do you accept the resignation of all these liars? Of all the CORRUPT? Those men locked up for eight years in Blackgate, and denied parole under the Dent Act, based on a lie? It needs it now more than ever. You betrayed everything you stood for.

There's a point, far out there when the structures fail you, and the rules aren't weapons anymore, they're And in that moment, I hope you have a friend like I did, to plunge their hands into the filth so that you can keep yours clean! There's a storm coming, Mr. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

You sound like you're looking forward to it. My mother warned me about getting into cars with strange men. Before all this, before Batman? You were gone seven years. Seven years I waited, hoping that you wouldn't come back. Every year, I took a holiday. I went to Florence, there's this cafe, on the banks of the Arno. Every fine evening, I'd sit there and order a Fernet Branca.

I had this fantasy, that I would look across the tables and I'd see you there, with a wife and maybe a couple of kids. You wouldn't say anything to me, nor me to you. But we'd both know that you'd made it, that you were happy. I never wanted you to come back to Gotham. I always knew there was nothing here for you, except pain and tragedy. And I wanted something more for you than that. Not a lot of people know what it feels like to be angry, in your bones.

I mean, they understand, foster parents, everybody understands, for awhile. Then they want the angry little kid to do something he knows he can't do, move on. So after awhile they stop understanding. They send the angry kid to a boys home.

I figured it out too late. You gotta learn to hide the anger, practice smiling in the mirror. It's like putting on a mask. Now's not the time for fear.

I blow that tunnel open, I'm gone. You don't owe these people any more. You've given them everything. We take Gotham from the corrupt! The oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity, and we give it back to you Do as you please.

Start by storming Blackgate, and freeing the oppressed! Step forward those who would serve. For and army will be raised. The powerful will be ripped from their decadent nests, and cast out into the cold world that we know and endure. Courts will be convened. Spoils will be enjoyed.

Blood will be shed. The police will survive, as they learn to serve true justice. You trusted me, and I failed you. Batman lands it on top of a skyscraper and Selina immediately hops out ]. Those weren't street thugs, they were trained killers. I saved your life. In return I need to know what you did with Bruce Wayne's fingerprints. Wayne wasn't kidding about a "powerful friend". I sold his prints to Daggett. For something that doesn't even exist.

I doubt many people get the better of you. But Daggett seemed pretty interested in that mess at the stock market. He looks up at it, then turns back to Selina ]. So that's what that feels like So now you're trying to set me up with a jewel thief? At this point, I'd set you up with a chimpanzee if it'd brought you back to the world! There's nothing out there for me. And that's the problem.

You hung up your cape and your cowl, but you didn't move on, you never went to find a life, to find someone I did find someone. I know, and you lost her. But that's all part of living, sir.

But you're not living. You're just waiting, hoping for things to go bad again. Speak of the devil and he shall appear. This conversation used to end with an unusual request. Well let me show you some stuff anyway. Just for old time's sake. What do you know about him? That you should be as afraid of him as I am. Our plan is proceeding as expected. Your hit, on the stock exchange, it didn't work, my friend! And now you have my construction crews going around the city at 24 hours a day!

How exactly is that supposed to help my company absorb Wayne's? You stay here, I'm in charge! I paid you a small fortune. Your money and infrastructure have been important Here to end the borrowed time you've all been living on! It has a long uninteresting name. I just took to calling it The Bat, and yes, Mr.

Wayne, it does come in black. How have you come back? You think you're the only one who can find the strength to escape? And though I'm not ordinary, I am a citizen. My mother named me Talia before she was killed, the way I would've been killed if not for my protector: I had no choice.

I needed a way to keep them from killing me. Let us not stand on ceremony, Mr. If this man is everything that you say he is, then this city needs me. This city needs Bruce Wayne, your resources, your knowledge. It doesn't need your body, or your life. That time has passed. You're afraid that if I go back out there I'll fail.

Tell me where the trigger is. I just can't take it. I mean, nobody will ever know who it was who saved an entire city. They know who it was; it was the Batman. You made some mistakes, Miss Kyle. Well, you got quite an appetite. I've seen worse cartilage in knees. No, that's because there is NO cartilage in your knee, and not much of any use in your elbows or your shoulders. Between that and the scar tissue on your kidneys, the residual concussive damage to your brain tissue, and the general scarred-over quality of your body, I cannot recommend that you go heliskiing, Mr.

He was trying to kill millions of innocent people. I honor my father by finishing his work. Vengeance against the man who killed him is simply a reward for my patience You see, it's the slow knife Catwoman intervenes and beats them down ].

You could have gone anywhere, but you came back. Well then I guess we're both suckers. We didn't know what to do. You panicked, and your weakness has cost the lives of three others. The water runs to any one of the outflows. We'll never find him. We both know that I now have to kill you.

You'll just have to imagine the fire! Oh, you don't seem happy to see me. You were supposed to be a shut-in. Why didn't you call the police? I have a powerful friend who deals with things like this. That's a brazen costume for a cat burglar.

Who are you pretending to be? Bruce Wayne, eccentric billionaire. His wife's in Ibiza. She left her diamonds behind, though. Worried they might get stolen. You wouldn't want any of these folks realizing you're a crook, not a social climber. You think I care what anyone in this room thinks of me? I doubt you care what anyone in any room thinks of you.

You don't know a thing about me. Well, Selina Kyle, I know you came here from your walk-up in Old Town, a modest place for a master jewel thief.

Which means that either you're saving for retirement, or you're in deep with the wrong people. You don't get to judge me just because you were born in the master bedroom of Wayne Manor. Actually, I was born in the Regency Room. I started out doing what I had to. Once you've done what you had to, they'll never let you do what you want to. There's no fresh start in today's world. Any twelve-year-old with a cell phone could find out what you did.

Everything we do is collated and quantified. Is that how you justify stealing? I take what I need to from those who have more than enough.

I don't stand on the shoulders of people with less. I think I do more to help someone than most of the people in this room. I think maybe you're assuming a little too much. Maybe you're being unrealistic about what's really in your pants other than your wallet. Take control of your city. Leonid Pavel, nuclear physicist. And who is capable of disarming such a device?

Now, this bomb is armed! This bomb is mobile! And the identity of the triggerman is a mystery. For one of you holds the detonator!

Property Industry Eye

And we came here not as conquerors, but as liberators to return control of this city to the people. And at the first sign of interference from the outside world, or for those people attempting to flee, this anonymous Gothamite - this unsung hero - will trigger the bomb. For now, martial law is in effect. Return to your homes, hold your families close, and wait. Tomorrow you claim what is rightfully yours.

The Batman wasn't needed anymore. Based on a lie. The Batman has to come back. What if he doesn't exist any more? When I spotted you, I was looking for a friend of mine, Bruce Wayne. Did they kill him? If you're seriously considering going back out there, you should hear the rumors surrounding Bane. There is a prison in a more ancient part of the world, a pit where men are thrown to suffer and die.

But sometimes a man rises from the darkness. Sometimes the pit sends something back. Born and raised in hell on earth. No one knows why or how he escaped, but they do know that once he did he was trained by Ra's Al Ghul, your mentor.

Bane was a member of The League of Shadows. And then he was excommunicated. And any man who is too extreme for Ra's Al Ghul is not to be trifled with. You, yourself fought the decadence of Gotham for years with all your strength, all your resources, all your moral authority and the only victory you achieved was a lie.

Now you understand Gotham is beyond saving and must be allowed to die. Get it onto it before sunrise. They might hit the button when it starts. You boys know you can't come into my neighborhood without asking politely. The boy watches as she knocks both thugs out ]. Never steal anything from someone you can't outrun, kid. Pretty generous, for a thief.

If you're expecting an apology What sort of due process is this? Your guilt has been determined. This is merely a sentencing hearing. Now, what will it be?

Crane, if you think we're going to walk out on that ice willingly, you got another thing coming! Do those heels make it hard to walk? Can we get some ladies in here? What's the matter, Cat got your tongue? Nobody ever accused me of being dumb! You're dumb; for coming here. I showed your picture to the Congressman. Don't tell me, still in love? Oh, head over heels. Deputy Commissioner Peter Foley: I'm not risking my men for your money.

It's not our money, it's everybody's! I want him to feel the heat. To feel the fire of twelve million souls you failed. Don't worry, Master Wayne. It takes a little time to get back into the swing of things.

Look, you wouldn't beat up a woman any more than I would beat up a cripple. Of course, sometimes exceptions have to be made. So, you came back to die with your city. You are as precious to me as you were to your own mother and father. I swore to them that I would protect you, and I haven't. About the whole no guns thing I'm not sure I feel as strongly about it as you do.

Can I change your mind about quitting the force? You were right, about the structures becoming shackles. I knew Harvey Dent. I was his friend. And it will be a very long time before someone I believed in Harvey Dent. That was you in front of the Stock Exchange, wasn't it? Blake smashes his hand, pulls his sidearm out and shoots him.

That looks like motor oil right next to it. They're not making cement, they're making explosives! There's been a mistake! I wanna see Bane! There's been no mistake, Mr. You are Philip Stryver, executive vice-president of Daggett Industries? Who for years has been living off the blood and sweat of people less powerful than him?

I am one of you! Bane has no authority here. Now, the choice is yours. To the man in the cold sweat! Follow the thick ice. Try to swim - you're dead in minutes. Stryver walks over the ice. Partway across, the ice cracks under his weight, he falls into the freezing water, and drowns ].

Well, you're welcome to try it, Alfred. Happy watching, thank you, sir. Bruce Wayne at a charity ball? Even before you became a recluse, you never came to these things. Proceeds go to the big fat spread. It's not about charity, it's about feeding the ego of whichever society hag laid this on. Actually, this is my party, Mr. And the proceeds will go where they should, because I paid for the big fat spread myself. That's very generous of you.

You have to invest to restore balance to the world. Take our clean-energy project. Sometimes the investment doesn't pay off. You have a practiced apathy, Mr. But a man who doesn't care about the world doesn't spend half his fortune on a plan to save it. And isn't so wounded when it fails that he goes into hiding. Have a good evening, Mr. You can't short the stock because Bruce Wayne goes to a party. Wayne coming back is change. Change is either good or bad. I still don't see the need for a board meeting for the energy project.

Bruce got a lot of things right. Keeping the board in the dark wasn't one of them. Bane turns to the newcomers ]. How good of you to join us, Chair, President. All I need now is one more one ordinary member. Fox, would you like to nominate? You gave him a way to block my signal. He's bought Gotham eleven minutes. I don't know what you're planning to do with Mr. Wayne's prints, but I'm guessing you'll need his thumb. You don't count so good, huh? We could use some hotter heads around here.

Sir, Congressman Gilly's wife has been calling in. Apparently the Congressman never made it home after the Wayne Foundation event. When you and Dent cleaned up the streets, you cleaned them good. Pretty soon we'll be chasing down uh And yet, here you are, like we're still at war. You got something you wanna ask me, Officer Blake? It's about that night, this night, eight years ago. The night Dent died, the last confirmed sighting of the Batman. He murders those people, takes down two SWAT teams, breaks Dent's neck and then just I'm not hearing a question, son.

Don't you wanna know who he was? I know exactly who he was. He was the Batman. Let's go see about the Congressman's wife. Bane says the Batman interfered, but the task was accomplished. And what about the men they arrested? He said, and I quote; they would die before talking. Where does he find these guys? This is a stock exchange. There's no money you can steal.

I'm gonna plead the fifth on that one. I thought you might like to see what your investment built. Free, clean energy for an entire city.

Three years ago, a Russian scientist published a paper on weaponized fusion reactions. One week later your reactor started developing problems. I think this machine works. Miranda, if it were operational, the danger to Gotham would be too great. Would it make you feel better to know that the Russian scientist died in a plane crash six months ago? Someone will work out what Dr. Someone will figure out a way to make this power source into a nuclear weapon. I need you to take control of Wayne Enterprises and this reactor.

Until we can guarantee its safety. Decommission it and flood it. Destroy the world's best chance for a sustainable future? If the world's not ready, yes.

Bruce, if you want to save the world you have to start trusting it. You have no choice. I could have flooded this chamber any time in the last three years. I'm choosing to trust you.
