What the Hell?!
You might not recognize Jerome's followers, as I've given them something of a makeover. But I assure you, they're as loyal to me as they ever were to him. More so, as I accomplished something my brother never could: killing James Gordon.
Jeremiah! Jeremiah!
[Harvey and the GCPD aim their guns at Jeremiah]
You're a LIAR!
Not...so... fast. [pulls out a detonator] I have bombs planted around this city, just like the one that... killed James Gordon.
Jeremiah! Jeremiah!
All you need to know, is if I hit this detonator, Gotham's blown back to the Stone Age.
And if I pull this trigger, your brains are blown through the back of your skull!
Dead-man's switch. [walks toward Harvey] You're familiar. Another little something I took from my brother, except mine's a bit more advanced. You shoot me, my thumb loosens, and then...boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. No, you will do what I say.
You're more sick than your brother.
[chuckles] Don't compare me to that short-sighted psychopath. He just wanted to destroy things. Me, I'm a builder. I'm gonna create a new Gotham in my image. But... every artist needs a blank canvass, so... all of this has to go. I detonate the explosives in six hours; I want this city empty when I do.
You need us to evacuate Gotham in six hours? That's impossible!
Then everyone who dies screaming, who watches their loved ones crushed before them will have you to thank, Detective Bullock. Look, nobody has to die... well, except for these people. [he pulls out another detonator] I know seeing is believing, and I do want you to believe me, so...
[he presses the detonator, and Gotham's clock tower explodes]
Oh, my God! [to his officers] Get officers on the scene, NOW! GO!!
[removes his sunglasses, sternly] Six hours, Detective. [walks away] The clock is ticking!
