(male #1)
Don't move, or I'll...

(Robin)
You'll what? Shoot me?

[groans]

- Huh?
- Hah!

- Ah!
- Uh..

[groans]

Twenty rounds a second,
and you were still too slow.

[gun cocking]

I'm not slow, punk.

- Me neither.
- I've got him.

[groans]

[grunts]

- Ah!
- Robin!

[bats screeching]

I had to take him down.

You shattered his collarbone!

He's a drug-dealing pimp.

I didn't think
I had to prop up some pillows

before I took him out.

We needed him,
he would've talked

but you put him into shock.

Sorry. That was dumb.

But he deserved it.

[boy laughing]

(young Bruce)
That movie was amazing!

Hey, dad, imagine if Zorro
came riding through Gotham

on his horse right now!

[Thomas chuckles]

(Thomas)
Well, Bruce, I'm not so sure

a masked vigilante
would be welcomed

in Gotham City.

Sadly,
they'd probably just lock

someone like Zorro in Arkham.

(Bruce)
Those were his last words to me.

Lately I've been wondering
if he was right.

I had years and you, Alfred

to help me come to terms
with the murder of my parents.

But I must have been crazy
to put Jason in the field

before he'd recovered
from his loss.

His father,
murdered by Two-Face

his mother
succumbing to illness.

His actions as Robin

are guided
by unresolved pain and anger.

He's a danger to himself,
a danger to our mission.

I have no choice.

Jason's going off active duty
immediately.

(Jason)
Fine with me.

Jason.

Jason?

[coughs]

Wow!
That looked like it really hurt.

[Robin groaning]

[Robin groaning]

(Joker)
Whoa. Now hang on.

That looked like
it hurt a lot more.

So let's try and clear this up,
okay, pumpkin?

What hurts more?

- A or B?
- 'Ah..'

- Forehand..
- Aah.

Or backhand?

[Robin groaning]

[laughing]

[mumbles]

[mimics Robin mumbling]

A little louder, lamb chop.

I think you may have
a collapsed lung.

That always impedes the oratory.

[spits]
Ah.. Uh..

Now, that was rude.

The first Boy Blunder
had some manners.

[groaning]

I suppose I'm going
to have to teach you a lesson

so you can better follow
in his footsteps.

Nah. I'm just gonna keep
beating you with this crowbar.

[groaning]

[Joker laughing]

[laughing continues]

vroom

[door opens]

- Huh!
- Jason.

- Bruce?
- What are you doing here?

You followed me. Figures.

I was about to guess the same
of you.

But I didn't follow you to
Bosnia, I followed Ra's al Ghul.

He's got you
jumping through hoops

to marry his daughter again,
huh?

Well,
I'm on my own mission here.

- I'm tracking Joker.
- Joker? Here?

And you're tracking him alone?
You know how dangerous...

I know that he shot Barbara
through the spine!

'And I know
he didn't stop there.'

'But you only put that
waste of life back in a cell.'

Well, he's broken out, again.

And someone
had to do something...

Jason, Ra's is attempting
to build dirty bombs

that could kill thousands
with radiation poisoning.

He's here in Bosnia

buying nuclear material
from an unknown seller.

[sighs]

Joker got a hold
of stolen uranium.

I got a lead
he's selling it to terrorists.

Excellent detective work, son.

I think it's gonna take
Batman and Robin together

to close this case.

Ra's' men are trying to get
the uranium across the border.

We'll lose them
if we don't act now.

Batcycle only seats one,
you take them down

while I investigate that
warehouse we tracked Joker to.

No. Stay here. Just watch
that warehouse until I return.

- But...
- Jason, for once..

Please listen to me.

Don't go after Joker alone.

He's just too dangerous.

You read me?

Loud and clear. Just hurry back.

vroom

vroom

Okay, kiddo, I gotta go.

It's been fun though, right?

Well, maybe a smidge more fun
for me than you.

I'm just guessing,
since you're being awful quiet.

Anyway, be a good boy,
finish your homework

'and be in bed by 9:00.'

And, hey,
please tell the big man

I said "Hello."

No.

Jason.

(Bruce)
We save lives every day.

Strangers'.

And there's always enough time.

But for Jason..

Thank you.

But you already know

how I failed to save Jason
from this life.

What you don't know

is how I failed to save him
from the next.

In the five years
following Jason's death

I redoubled my efforts
to protect Gotham City, alone

to avoid
endangering anyone else.

As always,
Nightwing had other ideas.

The years Dick spent at my side
as the first Robin taught him..

...a little too much.

Now he has the annoying habit
of showing up

at the exact moment
I need an extra hand.

[grunting]

Or fist.

Of course, I can
never admit that to him.

It would only encourage him.

But I appreciate his loyalty..

Aah!

...his sense of family.

boom

[grunts]

[groaning]

It seems fitting
that Nightwing was there

the night it all began.

I was tracking an arms shipment

for the crime lord
called Black Mask.

Hijackers
intercepted his shipment.

We persuaded the driver
to confess

he worked
for a rival of Black Mask's

called The Red Hood.

A sniper
ended the interrogation.

Could've ended us

but he laid out the red carpet
to follow him instead.

A trap.

So I followed him

leaving Nightwing behind,
and safe.

The sniper made pursuit easy

but never allowed me
close enough to ID him.

Then he led me to the factory.

[glass shatters]

That place,
where the Red Hood died..

Stay away! It's a setup!

Aah!

...where the Joker was born.

My first great failure.

The sniper, a new Red Hood,
seemed to know all of it.

He was sending me a message.

boom

And it echoed Bosnia.

boom

I cleared my mind
by focusing on the facts.

The Amazo heist
and reports from Nightwing

showed that Red Hood
was taking over

the crime syndicates of Gotham
with deadly force.

Some of Gotham's most wanted,
slaughtered.

I had to protect the rest,
had to stop this Red Hood.

The first person to question

was the last person
I ever wanna see.

[intense music]

[Joker laughing]

I needed Nightwing to
accompany me to Arkham Asylum

to divide Joker's attention.

[laughing]

Get him to reveal a connection

to the Red Hood

and help contain..

[grunts]

[groans]

Well..

...the effort proved useless.

[Joker groans]

[laughing]

With no accomplice or base
of operations to investigate

we turned to Red Hood's
known target, Black Mask.

We staked out his latest drop
of trafficked weapons

hoping for interference.

We weren't disappointed.

boom

[electricity crackling]

[helicopter whirring]

[clamoring]

The Red Hood's ability
to evade us was irritating

but educational.

Advanced parkour,
counter-attacking on the run..

boom

...and the skill to escape
my grappling lines.

Nobody cuts my grappling lines.

Frustration made me stupid
and careless.

I dropped
right into another trap.

[beeping]

boom

Another inferno.

vroom

[train chugging]

Another escape.

Because of my choice,
my mistake

Dick was injured.

I couldn't even
look him in the eye.

Going forward,
I had to work alone.

I needed to finish this alone
to avoid repeating mistakes

and because
this was getting personal.

Knowledge of my tactics,
my history

escaping
with those damned explosions

and evidence
that he even knew my name

it all pointed
to an impossible conclusion.

But if I've learned
anything over the years

it's that the impossible

is just the unthinkable
lying in wait.

I needed to find him again,
but I wasn't the only one

hunting the Red Hood.

To flush him out, Black Mask
declared all-out war

against
Red Hood's organizations.

Gotham City
was caught in the crossfire.

[groans]

[screaming]

When I finally
caught up to him

he was barely
surviving an ambush..

[gunshots]

[groans]

...outnumbered four to one,
by high-tech assassins.

[electricity crackling]

I balanced the scales.

To protect them
and to test him

his maneuvers, his timing,
our coordination

as familiar as Jason's

when he fought
at my side as Robin.

[grunting]

[groaning]

[grunts]

[screaming]

No!

But then he crossed the line..

...just to make a damn point.

He was cleaning up Gotham

by controlling it
with deadly force

because my way didn't work.

A familiar argument.

That was the moment I knew.

Jason, the son I had lost,
had returned.

He'd been resurrected.

The body I brought home
from Bosnia five years ago

was a fake.

How could I not have
looked inside his coffin

before we buried it?

Stupid and careless.

Following his death,
I had allowed myself

a moment of weakness.

I allowed myself
to be deceived.

There was only one other person
in Bosnia

who could have pulled this off.

Ra's al Ghul.

Ra's is a formidable enemy,
but an honorable one.

He'd even tried to get me
to marry his daughter, Talia.

There was once a twisted sense
of family between us.

But that was before Bosnia..

[helicopter whirring]

...before his deal
with the Joker.

[laughing]

[thunder rumbling]

Bombing the banks of Europe

with Joker's stolen uranium

was only one part
of their bargain.

Distracting me from their deal
was another.

I thought killing Robin
was the third part.

I was wrong. Ra's had no idea
Robin was in Bosnia.

Robin's intel and backup

tipped the balance
of the mission in our favor

and teaming up
afforded us the chance

to relieve a growing disconnect
between us.

Then it happened.

It was uncharacteristic
humility for Ra's

to admit
that he underestimated Joker.

His body language,
his micro expressions

the fact
that he, too, is a father

it was clear
that Ra's was deeply grieved

by Jason's passing, as was I.

Desperate to rectify
his disservice to me

he found a way
to steal Jason's body

for submersion
in his Lazarus Pit

as it had helped him
cheat death.

Ra's used
its supernatural properties

to resurrect my son.

But the cost was high.

While the Pit
revivifies the body

its effects on the mind
are less predictable.

The process drove Jason mad.

[screaming]

He escaped the house of al Ghul

despite Ra's' efforts
to contain him.

The Lazarus Pit was obvious.

I was prepared
for that part of the story.

It was only after hearing
the rest of it

that Jason had been lost
to both of us for five years

did I realize the true reason
I confronted him.

I wanted Ra's to be responsible
for the Red Hood.

I wanted to blame someone else
for what Jason had become.

But I alone was responsible
for Jason's path.

The Red Hood was a nightmare
of my own making.

[whooshing]

I had to get back to Gotham
to stop him.

[sirens wailing]

The war in Gotham
had escalated.

Red Hood took the battle
directly to Black Mask.

[whooshing]

[glass shatters]

boom

[screaming]

And Black Mask, never one
to get his own hands dirty

broke the Joker out of Arkham

to hire him
to kill the Red Hood.

[choking]

[gunshots]

[choking]

[laughing]

Clearly, he hadn't heard
that hiring the Joker

doesn't work out well.

[Joker laughing]

[sighs]

Black Mask
quickly found himself

hoisted with his own petard

tied up
in the back of a trailer

and soaked in gasoline.

Sure enough,
Joker got Red Hood's attention.

But getting Joker
out of Arkham

was Jason's goal all along.

Black Mask was just the pawn
to make it happen.

Jason was playing
a long game of revenge

against
the entire criminal underworld

against Joker..

[whooshing]

...against me

all building
to a final confrontation.

[Joker screaming]

He captured Joker,
and summoned me to meet them.

I knew I couldn't be late.

[Joker groaning]

Never missing a chance to gain
a psychological advantage

Jason chose Crime Alley
as our meeting place

where I lost my father
and mother to a murderer..

...where I gained a son.

[thunder rumbling]

Jason wanted it all
to end that night

but I was going to save my son,
or die trying.

[whooshing]

[groans]

[screams]

[grunting]

boom

[thunder rumbling]

[grunts]

[grunting]

[thuds]

We could've fought all night.

[grunting]

But no blow would land
as hard as the one I felt

when he finally
removed the helmet.

[thunder rumbling]

For that moment,
I was just a father again.

I didn't wanna fight anymore.

I begged him to stop,
to let me help.

But he wasn't done.

So neither was I.

[grunting]

[crashes]

[both grunting]

It was always a contest
with Jason

him against the world.

Even dying didn't teach him
he was wrong.

There was no more reasoning,
no more holding back.

He wanted pain,
I was ready to unleash it.

Ready to drag that kid
through fire

through hell and back,
to show him once and for all

his contest wasn't with
the world, it was with himself.

[grunts]

[groans]

And then
he finally got the moment

he'd been planning
for five years.

[door shatters]

[laughing]

[groans]

Jason said he'd forgiven me

for not saving him
that night in Bosnia

but that I didn't
avenge his death afterward.

That I didn't kill Joker
for killing him

was a betrayal
he could not live with.

So he crafted
his final challenge for me.

He wanted to look me in the eye

while forcing me
to make a choice

between our ideals.

Kill Joker or kill Jason

to stop him
from killing Joker.

But life isn't a game
and death is never a choice.

To make it so is our undoing,
it would be my undoing.

I think
about killing Joker every day

ending the monster
that I let loose on the world.

But I'll never allow myself
that release

a promise I made
to my father and mother

an example to a son
that I will never stop fighting

to protect from himself.

[gunshot]

Aah! Ah..

[groaning]

[beeping]

No! Don't spoil it!
This is better!

[groans]

I'm the only one who's gonna get
what he wants tonight!

Yes! Bing, bang, boom!

'We all go out together!'

Don't you just love
a happy ending?

[laughing]

[groans]

[intense music]

boom

[glass shattering]

[rubble clattering]

[laughing]

I can never stop fighting to
protect them from themselves..

[laughing continues]

...to protect them from me.

We only come to know
the true power of evil

when we work to suppress it
in ourselves.

You know, when you say
spooky stuff like that

you justify my contingency plans
to defeat you.

What I'm saying, Bruce

is that you are
the strongest person I know

not because of the monsters
you fight on the outside

but for the demons
you battle on the inside.

'Your willingness
to open up to me about this'

well, that shows real strength.

And the day you stop
reaching out for this support

is the day I know
I need to activate

my contingency plan for you.

[chuckles]

We'll find Jason together

right after I find the check.

Thank you, Clark,
and I paid the tab.

- Before you arrived.
- But how did...

You order the same thing
every time.

Even over dessert you have to be
two moves ahead? Really?
