Gotham

Previously on gotham...

Mooney: Killing falcone would only create chaos.

I need to siphon his strength.

So, when the time is right,

Taking over his organization

Will be like slipping on a glove.

I'm so angry all the time.

Will that ever go away?

Alfred, can you teach me how to fight?

You've been through a lot.

I'm scared, jim.

Everywhere I go,

I can feel that monster, zsasz.

Alvarez: Gordon, some unis brought in a perp.

Claims to know you.

Hey, detective.

Miss me?

Barbara?

Whoa.

Sweet crib.

You must be one rich cop.

It's my girlfriend's place.

Where is she?

I don't know. Barbara?

So... What?

I get to stay here alone?

I'm hungry.

Barbara: Dear jim,

I thought I could be strong and brave for you, but I can't.

Every place I go, I see falcone and zsasz.

I'm nervous and needy and screwed up,

And I know that's not what you need or want,

So I'm going away for a while, to get myself together.

This is gordon.

Uh... Uh, right.

Yeah.

We're in the penthouse. Come on up.

Sounds like your girlfriend's not coming back, huh?

Why's she worried about falcone?

None of your business.

So what happens now?

You gonna get the charges against me dropped?

I will, but you're my only witness to the wayne murders.

You gonna cuff me to a drainpipe again?

No, I'm not gonna hold you against your will.

Gcpd, juvie-- you'd just break out.

So I do get to stay here.

No, I have someplace else in mind.

That's the sketch artist.

I need you to describe the man who shot the waynes.

Wait, where am I going to stay?

Wayne manor.

Do not speak to the inmate.

Do not touch the inmate unless in the service of your job.

Do not accept anything from the inmate under any circumstances.

Who is this guy, anyway?

Name's ian hargrove, some genius bomb maker.

Took out over a dozen buildings in and around gotham.

He's the one that blew up the commissary last month?

Yeah, and he did it with match shavings

And apple cider vinegar.

So no mistakes today, got it?

Put your hands up.

She said this is the man who killed your parents.

She said she saw his face.

Do you recognize him, bruce?

No.

What's her name?

Selina kyle.

Do you believe her?

Yes, I do.

So, she saw...

Everything?

And you want her to live here with us, do you?

A common street criminal.

She's hardly older than bruce.

She's just a kid who's seen too much.

This is for her safety.

Gcpd is full of moles...

Right, and how long would you have us put her up, then?

I don't know.

No. The answer is no.

Her being here will put master bruce in great danger.

Alfred.

She is the witness to a murder, master bruce.

You do understand that, don't you?

She's also the best chance we have

Of finding who killed my parents.

Isn't she?

Yes, she is.

Then she can stay.

As long as it takes.

I've made my decision.

Yes, master bruce.

Look, I know this is a lot.

But I'm doing everything I can.

Montoya and allen and I are meeting

With an ada they trust this afternoon.

Oh...

A trustworthy lawyer.

In gotham.

Look, if we find this guy, we'll need her.

She'll have to testify.

Go before a judge.

It won't be easy.

Witnesses back out all the time.

The ones that stick it out do so

Because they care about the victims.

We'll do our best to be nice to her, then, won't we?

It's from the chinese ming dynasty.

Five...

500 years old.

You can get one just like it for five bucks, in chinatown.

I'm bruce wayne.

Selina kyle.

People call me cat.

Nice to meet you, cat.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

What's in your hand?

I said, what's in...

What the hell...?

(tires screeching, horn honking)

Hargrove!

Ian hargrove, time to go.

Man: Kid, you screwed up, big-time.

But you're still young, you deserve a second chance.

So I have a bet for you.

You call heads or tails.

You lose, you go to jail.

You win, we let you go.

Bet. Hold on.

There's a catch.

You have to make a promise to god right now.

If you win, you're gonna take this as a sign from him

Telling you that you need to go back to school

And get your life straight.

Can you promise that?

Do you promise that?

Yes, sir.

Okay then.

Call. Heads.

Walk away, kid.

Somebody up there loves you.

Hey, harvey.

Go.

Remember your promise.

Jim gordon, gcpd.

I hear good things about you, counselor.

Harvey dent, likewise about you, detective.

That was some trick with the coin.

What if the kid guesses wrong?

You gonna send him to jail?

Teenagers, they nearly always call heads.

I don't know why.

Two-headed coin.

Whatever works, right?

Dent: So who is he, jim?

Who really killed the waynes?

This is what we have.

No I.D.

But this is from an eyewitness?

That you have in safe custody.

It's not nearly enough to go to the law with.

Even if we had I.D. On this guy,

It's the people who hired him we really want.

I agree.

Your eyewitness is useless in a courtroom.

But the idea of your witness

Could be immensely valuable.

Ever hear the name dick lovecraft?

Sure. Billionaire.

Property, construction, chemicals.

And as corrupt as they come.

Falcone, maroni, even wayne enterprises,

Lovecraft has dealings with all of them.

Since the waynes' deaths, he's doubled his fortune.

Including a huge piece of the arkham deal.

Dent: Lovecraft had a long feud with thomas wayne

Over deals and politics.

They couldn't have had a more different vision for gotham.

I'm willing to bet my career...

On his involvement in the wayne murders.

That's a big bet.

I want to use your witness

To go after lovecraft.

How? My witness can't connect lovecraft to the perp.

Lovecraft doesn't know that.

I'll let it leak out

That we have a secret eyewitness

Who's going to blow the case wide open

And connect lovecraft to the wayne killings.

Lovecraft will get very nervous.

And the people around him will get nervous.

And that's when people start talking; you know how that goes.

Unless lovecraft wasn't involved in the wayne murders.

If so, which I doubt, we still win.

Whoever was involved in the wayne killings

Will get their cage rattled

Like the dickens, won't they?
