- Of course not.

- What have you done with him?

- Me?

I was right here.

Who did you leave him with?

Hmm? Your people?

Assuming of course, they are still your people

and not Maroni's.

Does it depress you, Commissioner?

To know just how alone you really are?

Does it make you feel responsible for

Harvey Dent's current predicament.

- Where is he.

- What's the time?

- What difference does that make?

- Well, depending on the time,

he may be in one spot or several.

- If we're gonna play games

- Hmm?

- I'm gonna need a cup of coffee.

- Ah. The good cop bad cop routine?

- Not exactly.

DOOR BUZZES

- Never start with the head! The victim gets all fuzzy.

He can't feel the next—

See?

- You wanted me. Here I am.

- I wanted to see what you'd do.

And you didn't disappoint.

You let five people die.

And then, you let Dent take your place.

Even to a guy like me, that's cold.

- Where's Dent?

- Those mob fools want you gone so they can get back to the way things were.

But I know the truth.

There's no going back. You've changed things.

Forever.

- Then why do you want to kill me?

JOKER LAUGHS

- I don't—I don't want to kill you!

What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers?

No. No, no!

No, you

you... complete... me.

- You're garbage who kills for money.

- Don't talk like one of them, you're not!

Even if you'd like to be.

To them, you're just a freak

Like me.

They need you right now

But when they don't...

They'll cast you out.

Like a leper.

You see, their morals, their "code".

It's a bad joke.

Dropped at the first sign of trouble.

They're only as good as the world allows them to be.

I'll show you. When the chips are down,

These, uh, these "civilized" people?

They'll eat each other.

See, I'm not a monster.

I'm just ahead of the curve.

- Where's Dent?

- You have all these rules and you think they'll save you.

JOKER GRUNTING

GORDON Who's in control?

- I have one rule.

- Oh, then that's the rule

you'll have to break to know the truth.

- Which is?

- The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules

and tonight you're gonna break your one rule.

- I'm considering it.

- You know, there's only minutes left so you're gonna have to play my little game

if you wanna save one of them.

- Yeah?

- You know, for a while there

I thought you really were Dent.

The way you threw yourself after her.

BATMAN YELLS

JOKER LAUGHS

Look at you go!

Does Harvey know about you and his little bunny?

- WHERE ARE THEY?

- Killing is making a choice.

- WHERE ARE THEY?

- Choose between one life or the other.

Your friend, the district attourney.

Or his blushing bride to be!

JOKER LAUGHS

You have nothing!

Nothing to threaten me with.

Nothing to do with all your strength.

But don't worry!

I'm gonna tell you where they are.

Both of 'em.

And that's the point.

You'll have to choose.

He's at 250 52nd Street.

And she's, uh, on Avenue X. At Cicero.

GORDON Which one're you going after?

- Rachel.

GORDON We're getting Dent!

Go! 250 52nd Street!
