Up.

- No.

179
00:18:13,383 --> 00:18:16,303

- BATMAN: Nothing is impossible.

Yes. The Society of Shadows
is no longer what it was.

192
00:20:01,658 --> 00:20:05,453
Well, I've gotta get this back
to Gotham City.

193
00:20:07,372 --> 00:20:10,458
Wait. I can't let you leave like this,

194
00:20:10,917 --> 00:20:12,460
not with the drill.

195
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:17,966
I thought I finally knew
which side you were on.

196

I should have known better,

197

considering that you knew
where everything was in the monastery.

198
00:20:23,138 --> 00:20:24,514
How could you have,

199
00:20:25,056 --> 00:20:26,641
unless you were one of them?

200
00:20:31,563 --> 00:20:34,941
I am truly sorry, Batman.
It could have been...
