Gotham · Season 1
And now Jim Gordon and Lee Thompkins are man and wife. Thank God you held this city together so this blessed event could take place. It was never gonna work.
What?
Controlling the gangs was not a backup plan. You saw a chance to convince James Gordon you had changed, but he will never see you as anything but a dangerous woman keeping his child from him.
Then I'd best be long gone before he can do anything about it.
He will hunt you to the ends of the Earth.
Let him.
Rest easy, Eduardo. I made you a promise when I found you in that hole in Pena Dura, and I intend to keep it. To give you a true purpose, and the strength to see it through.
However, I'm afraid this process will be agonizing and, unfortunately, quite lengthy. Apologies in advance.
You're going to be reborn, and then you'll be the bane of the unjust. The bane of the corrupt. The bane of anyone who opposes us.
If the world is full of monsters, then the only way to defeat them is to become one yourself.
[Barbara has a contraction.]
Congratulations! Go to the clinic, go have your baby...
What, so you two can hightail it off this rock without me? I don't think so.
I assure you, we will not launch without you. Ed and I will finish making preparations, and be ready to launch the moment you get back with that little bundle of joy! Or, unless I should drive you to the clinic in light of your delicate condition...
I can do it! I'm not that delicate! Remember that, if you even think about double-crossing me.
[She gets in her car.]
Very kind of you to offer to drive her.
I knew she would never accept my help.
[Barbara drives away, Ed and Oswald both jauntily wave goodbye.]
Should I start the engine?
One less passenger to worry about.
No, two, actually.
[laughs] You are so right!
Lee.
Ed.
Don't worry, I'm not here for you... but, for the record, you stabbed me first.
I should have known you would try to screw us over.
You only noticed because you tried to screw me over first!
Second, technically.
[draws a gun] Hand over the part, now.
[stepping in front of Barbara] Don't point that at the baby!
...What? [quickly lowers the gun] I did not! I was merely trying to make a general threatening gesture with a firearm...
But you did, though, you pointed the gun at the baby...
All right, fine, I'M SORRY! Now give us what we want!
[in labor] Oh, you think I'm stupid enough to have the part on me? It's hidden away somewhere safe! And if you think you can torture me into telling you where, there is literally nothing more painful than what I am going through right now!
You asked me what I wanted from you. I want you to suffer, Bruce Wayne, and then I want you to die.
Some try to hide, some try to cheat, but time will let us always meet. What am I?
A pregnant lady with a gun?
Death. But close enough.
[Nygma reveals the submarine part.]
How long have you had that?
Long enough to know she'd never let it out of her sight.
[starts to laugh, then] And you stuck around long enough to risk both of our lives to save Barbara's?! [realizes] Or was it to protect Lee?
Do you want me to answer that, or do you want to sail away from here?
Bon voyage.
Son, if you're gonna stick a gun in my face, you should at least know that you're doing it wrong.
I'm sure you recognize this knife.
You touch my baby, and I will turn you into a pile of ash, just like your father.
Bit cruel, don't you think, to let this little one to get too attached when you're not going to be around much longer? Soon, you and Bruce Wayne will see Gotham and Jim Gordon's precious green zone destroyed. Then, I'll allow you to die. My father made his name destroying empires. Now, It's my turn.
Oswald. Come in.
Still have those eyes in the back of your head, Jim.
No, you just have a remarkably recognizable odor. Part dandy, part snake. After all these years, it hasn't changed. Drink?
No thank you. It dulls the senses.
That's what I was going for. Surprised you're still here. Would have thought you'd be long gone by now. That storm you warned me about for so long? It's finally here.
We've shared some turbulent times, you and I.
That we have.
When you spared my life on the pier that day and banished me from Gotham, it was the most lost I've ever been. Because I was away from the city, you see. It's part of me. You know what I'm talking about, because it's part of you, too. Sure, I could escape - with money, I might add - but then what? Stand on the shores of the mainland and watch the army burn it to the ground? Then watch tasteless industrialists and vapid politicians rebuild it? No. My life is etched on the walls of every alley and dirty warehouse here. My blood lives in its broken concrete. I'm staying to fight for my legacy!
You see, just a little ounce of pressure - that's all that separates the living from the dead.
I spent all those years trying to protect you, and here you are - a soldier. A soldier for good.
You've spent your life protecting me. Now it's time for me to do the same. It's time for me to protect Gotham, even if there's nothing left to defend.
