today we're meeting with Doctor Baby remember her

she's gonna be videotaping you this time

so we can show it at your competency hearing next week

if they find you confident

and they will they always do

then we're going to trial

you need to be in an actual hospital

with actual doctors

not this department of corrections bullshit thugs

Doctor Baby thinks that

with everything that happened to you in your childhood

it caused a split

this fragmentation in you

to help you cope with your pain

she believes

you have another person living inside of you

and it was this other person who committed those crimes

do you understand what that means Arthur

I'll be asking you a few questions today Arthur okay

maybe you don't remember some things

or you're confused about what you did

I'm here to help you try and sort out what happened

Arthur I'm not here only to help with your defense

I'm here for you

but for me to do my job I need you to be candid with me

does that make sense

can I have a cigarette

of course you can

let's start with the first incident okay

the three men who accosted you on the subway

who bullied you

did it feel like they triggered something painful

from your past your childhood

do you remember any of what happened

did you black out

see bright lights

okay

how about Marie Franklin

what if anything

do you remember about that night

the music

that's good after that is good

can I tell you what I remember about that night

I remember you came out just as Joker

and I remember Joker was dancing to that music

right

I really liked his band

my mom and I used to watch the show together

she liked Marie Franklin as well

he's so handsome look at those sparkle monkeys

is that your mother's voice

do you often hear her voice in your head

all the time

did it change at all after she died

what does that mean

did you

this other part of you

Joker

did it come out more after she died

you live together right

in a one bedroom apartment

maybe I could talk to Joker about it

would he like to talk to me

hey Arthur

Arthur

the guard said he wanted to show me how to kiss

they said Joker's a really good kisser

nobody's ever gave me a kiss before

20 bucks fucking rats

fucking rats

I gotta be honest with you Arthur

I wouldn't have took you for a hopeless romantic

cigarette

why not

what are you doing

you don't get a cigarette unless he tells a joke

now come on

but I have been assured he's been a model patient

without any incidents

I know this might feel strange

Miss Affleck a new environment

to balance the conflicting forces

the fractures within ourselves

Arthur

they need to understand you were sick delusional

you're not Joker you're Arthur Flack

don't worry

you're gonna be great

Arthur

are you okay

it's not too late to cancel

so you want me to call you Arthur or the Joker

Mr Myers you know

she has to leave now

you can watch from behind the glass

but you can't be in here

just be yourself

rolling rolling

two years ago

the name Arthur Fleck had Gotham like a Hurricane

an unassuming

part time party clown and struggling stand up comic

Fleck committed five horrific murders

in the span of just four weeks

and now with hundreds

already lining up

to get a seat of one of the first trials

ever broadcast live on TV

Arthur Flack the Joker

is sitting down for his first interview

since that infamous night on Murray Franklin

and yes

we all know how that turned out

Arthur Fleck welcome

hello

take me back to that night on stage with Marie Franklin

what was going through your mind

when you pulled out that gun and blew his brains out

well Patty um

I was going through a lot back then

um I don't really remember much from that night I

blacked out saw bright lights

I was having a hard time

knowing the difference between what was real or not

oh please

you did it on live TV pal

doesn't get any more real than that

Patty all I remember from that night is

I was gonna kill myself on television

I thought Murray was playing a part in my show

but he was a bad actor so he got what he deserved

the last joke if we can call it a joke

you get what you bleeping deserve

that's what you said that's not fun

that's not funny

you're right I should have told the better one

you're trying to be funny now

yeah

do you deserve to die

the da is calling for the death penalty

you just said that you wanted to kill yourself on TV

so tell us

you still wanna die

well at the time

it certainly seemed a lot easier for living

um but that's

that's not me anymore that's not

that's not who I am that wasn't really you

no that's no

that's let me get this straight

so no

no your defense is it was the Joker who did it

and insanity okay

I I don't

I don't know about our defense

this alternate personality uh

this killer clown in you killed Murray

who am I speaking to now which one of you is here

the poor low IQ Arthur Fleck or the Joker

go to the bunch of no good punks

do you really care

you don't

you just like Murray you just like everyone

you just you want sensationalism

you don't you don't care about

you just you just wanna talk about my mistakes

you wanna talk about the things I did in the past

not about who I am now not how I'm different now

that's what we should be talking about Patty

okay okay

we should take a break we're not taking a break

all right

okay so tell us what changed Arthur

I'll tell you what's changed Patty

I'm not alone anymore

the girl who was singing the night you tried to escape

she's really something isn't she

you tell me

for the day when I free

excuse me yeah thank you

we'll be back with more of our reflect and reward

1 monsters

the murder trial of Arthur Flick will begin today

Assistant da

Harvey dentist preparing his opening remarks

and when some are calling trial of the century

after months of protests police will be on high alert

closing surrounding streets

and setting up barricades for crowds that could reach

thousands if you ask me

this is what you get

when there's a complete breakdown of social services

and don't get me started on this media Francie

all right Denise

you're on the earth thank you for taking my call

enough is enough this idiot doesn't deserve a trial

he should be sent straight to the share

an example should be made up

haha haha

haha haha

haha haha

oh hahaha

oh

my God

wow

wow

it's mine

where do you go

when I'm smiling

and smile

okay

show time

there there he is

hey shut the fuck up

just waiting for the triumph mill again

Archer I'll split your head open I love

you

he's looking good

all rise this court is now in session

the honorable Judge Herman Roth Wax is presiding

good morning ladies and gentlemen

please be seated

William please invite the jury in

are you alright Mr Fleck

everything okay

yes your Majesty

I'm just looking for someone

please Mr Fleck sit down

I realize there's a lot going on

but this is still a court of law

any and all outbursts will not be tolerated

that applies to everyone in this courtroom

Sydney please call the case

the people of the state of New York versus Arthur Fleck

case number GC zero seven

one nine six everything that happened

it's my view that there is absolutely no

evidence that Arthur Fleck suffers from multiple

personality disorder

or that he ever behaved in the role of Joker

as a separate personality

dissociated from himself doctor

in your opinion

concerning the work you did on this case

do you believe Mr Fleck suffers from a mental disease

or defect no

in my opinion

he's not psychotic or unable to test reality

I think he was sane when he committed these crimes

in fact I believe he fakes his mental illness

quiet

and if he's uh

faking it as you say

then what

is your opinion on the defendant's mental condition

I believe he has 4

relatively minor and quite common mental disorders

that involve long standing sadness

narcissistic self centeredness

friendlessness

and indifference to the feelings of others

this is a very disturbed individual

but I can't give you any kind of psychiatric defense

for him thank you Doctor Lou

nothing further your honor

your witness Miss Stewart

thank you

Doctor Lou good morning morning

how long did you interview Arthur Fleck for

about two hours about two hours

it's actually 89 minutes

tell me how can you say for certain

that Arthur isn't mentally ill

how can you be so sure after just 89 minutes

that this joker

isn't a distinctly separate

and split personality from him

that that's not who he is

well I also reviewed all the test results

psychological tests neurological and medical tests

and in my view it's just a performance

did you read

the records from the department of Social Services

that show that when Arthur was 7 years old

they returned him to his abuser's home

his mother's home

I did yes

and when you interviewed him for 89 minutes

did you ask him why

social services didn't believe the horrific stories

a 7 year old boy told them

about the physical and sexual abuse he suffered

no I

I didn't ask him about that

so you want us to believe that

after spending just 89 minutes with Arthur Flag

and reading through his records and tests

from the same government agencies that abandoned him

you want us to believe that you can say

with absolute certainty

that Arthur doesn't suffer from any serious

mental illness

that he didn't need to retreat into fantasy

and create another identity to protect that scared

vulnerable seven year old boy

from all the trauma and abuse he suffered

and that that identity didn't come out again

when he was attacked

tormented by three drunk bullies on the subway

after I woke up this morning

I thought Murray Murray

Murray and then there's Murray

funny right then I remember Sophie

I had another your honor

again my client's personal diary is privileged overrule

again as long as Mrs

Kane limits her comments to Mr Fletch

your own personal private joke to

we're meant to be quiet

these are your words she's reading

and it's up to the jury to determine

what to make of them

please proceed

Miss Kane please continue reading from the

the highlighted portion

then I remember Sophie had another dream about her

forgot it

I almost never dream

what do I gotta do to remember

that's Sophie Dumont

Mr Flux neighbor whom he was obsessed with

what was that date

November 17

but the record show

November 17th is the day that Mr Fleck

stabbed Randall Clymon Hoffford to death

the very same day that he shot and killed

Marie Franklin

now I know it's not your area of expertise

but you have read all of Mr Fox Journal for correct

yes I have

and in your opinion

does this sound like a different voice

like a different uh

personality wrote this

no it sounds like Arthur

go on

he often wrote about his fantasies

and the women he had imaginary relationships with

and of course his jokes

there are always a lot of these

these unfunny jokes

you know

you making them out to be a fucking idiot in there

never gonna get out of the

keep this shit up

ask her why she has me sitting so far away from him

let's not do this here

do you see all those people out front

what do you think they're here for

how many t shirts is Arthur flag on

how many signs it's the trial of the century

and she doesn't even know who her own client is

how sick he is

how much help he needs

he's not sick

he's perfect

you don't really think he's just gonna walk out of here

do you yeah

he's gonna walk right out of here with me by his side

and they watch

and then we're gonna build them out

a what from a little help what does that even mean

you're not listening

we can win this case and she's gonna fuck it all up no

you're not listening

he's looking out for me

she understands what I've been through

what are you talking about

we're from the same neighborhood

she lost her father you know

her mom was awful to her she had her committed

so just give her a break

okay Lee cares about you

sure I know she didn't grow up in your neighborhood

she lives on the Upper West Side with her parents

her father is not dead he's a doctor

she voluntarily committed herself to the hospital

and then just checked herself out when she wanted

she didn't check herself out Arthur

I was a bad influence on her so they separated us

did she mention she went to grad school for psychiatry

you would get it my point is

she's playing you for a fool

I'm sorry I just

I know what it's like to love somebody

but I don't think you can believe a word she says

from NCB Studios in Gotham City

ladies and gentlemen it's the Joker and Holly show

The Way I Love You

no 1 haha what happened

well you weren't even looking at me anymore

you're making it all about yourself

and the song is about loving me

now look who's making it all about themselves

oh

so you're saying it's not about us

it is but we're singing for them

that's why we're here honey

oh cause

I got this sleeping suspicion

that we're not giving the people what they want

it's okay baby

you're right

let's give the people what they want

music let's take from the top

is the honeymoon over

oh no

watch me watch this haha

period haha

Chrome

haha I look at you

couple of weeks back on TV

and already acting like you own the joint

what the fuck are you two doing

sitting on our bleachers we said they're your bleachers

Ricky what the fuck has gotten into you

you heard me up

that's what I just saw at front

little lady friend

alright enough

get up both of you hey Fleck you got a visitor

see that's what I tell you

move it

every day

real fucking whack job flick

uh uh

five minutes

how you holding up

is everything okay

did you did you lie to me

sure

I mean everybody lies a little

and you're not from the same neighbor as me

and your dad's a doctor

you're rich

I just wanted you to like me

did you really check yourself in here

yeah

that's gross

just because you wanted to meet me

just to meet you

you could have just wrote me a letter

and said what

I'm nobody

I haven't done anything with my life like you have

did you really watch that TV movie they made about me

20 times

um probably more like 4 or five

was it actually good or do you lie about that too

it was great

my lawyer

says you're playing me for a fool

I'm no fool

can't you see what she's doing

the laughing at you in there

she doesn't care about you

I do do

you know I moved into your old apartment building

to make us a home for when you get out

did your lawyer tell you that

you did

I don't Wanna live there

I'm pregnant

what

every time

really really on the

dust in your hair on golden

close to you

did you think he was gonna hurt you or your daughter

I did yes

you believed he was dangerous

well he broke into my apartment

you call the police

no

his mother told me that he had problems his whole life

but that he wouldn't hurt a fly

and

was the man who broke into your apartment that night

was he different in any way from the Arthur Fleck

you and you

I didn't really know him

I saw him in the lobby

the elevator a few times

like I said I knew his mother a little bit

she was really sweet to my daughter

and Mr Monde

why is it they

didn't want to come here and testify today

and why did you initially ignore our subpoenas

well after Arthur did what he did

the press wanted to talk to me about it

and then

I was a character in that awful TV movie they made and

and all these people

supporters I guess

like the people outside

started showing up at my work and harassing me

blaming me for what happened to Arthur

so I was afraid for my safety

and for my daughter's safety

we moved out of the city

well then why did you finally decide to comply

so I should have called the police that night

then maybe all those people wouldn't

have been maybe they wouldn't be dead now if I did

thank you

no more questions

your witness Miss Stewart

Miss Juman

what happened

after you asked Arthur to leave your apartment

that night he told me he was having a bad day

and then he left so

he never heard or even threatened you or your daughter

no

and did you watch him on TV

on Marie Franklin the following week

I did

did that seem like the same man

who was sitting in your apartment that night

did he sound the same or even look the same

no I mean

he was

he's wearing clown makeup

and while

Arthur's mother was being so sweet to your daughter

what was she telling you about her own son

um

she told me that there was something wrong with Arthur

and that he lived in a fantasy world

and that he had this laugh

she told you it was a dumb laugh

that's what she called it

his dumb laugh

yes

what else did she tell you

that she made up a story when he was a kid

so that he would feel better about it

so he would stop crying

so that he wouldn't kill himself

what was the story

that he was put on this earth to bring joy

something like that so I should call them happy

and and she

couldn't believe that

he faced his whole life around this made up story

he was a street clown and he wanted to be comedian

she made fun of him for doing that

she just thought it was ridiculous

that he thought he could make people laugh

when she said Arthur wasn't funny at all

did she tell you that he had been in and out of

institutions this whole night

oh where is it to go

in the past

they don't care as long as they're

they don't care as long as

my dog is a Joker

the Joker is me

haha

yeah that he had never had a girlfriend

and he thought he was probably a surgeon

I can't do this anymore you want a map

push the bench please

no you may not

I want to fire my lawyer

excuse me I like to represent myself you're fired

you better believe it's real

Eric

good evening it's 48 degrees at 6:00 on this Wednesday

November 8th

I'm Stan Ale Brooks and here's what's happening

shocking developments at the trial of Arthur Fleck

downtown today Fleck

the accused killer also known as Joker

interrupted testimony and fired his lawyer

Mary Ann Stewart in open court

then he kissed her goodbye

afterwards Fleck was extensively questioned by Judge

Herman Rothwax the right of self representation

is not a license to abuse the dignity of the courtroom

can you control your emotions

Mr Fleck yes sir

Judge Rothwax

reluctantly approve flex request to represent himself

as long as he agreed to stand by council

a decision that both flex

now former attorney Marianne Stewart

and Assistant da Harvey Dent disagree with

it's really tragic

Arthur believes he has all of these supporters

but they don't care about him

they care about Joker

he is not dealing with reality

he's mentally ill

just convinced him about him

we would have won this case

fuck knows what he's doing

he knows he's losing we cannot forget that he's a human

this is all just part of this planet

hey shut the fuck up

sit down

sit down

get

the fuck down Ricky Ricky

Ricky shut

the fuck up

alright show's over

calm down hey

hey sit the fuck down

oh my God oh my God

haha

let go check this out

haha

I love you

after reviewing all the case law that offers

President

Jensen versus Superior Court being the most relevant

I've reluctantly decided that

Mr Fleck does have the right

as an attorney to dress himself how he likes

as long as he doesn't cause disorder

or interfere with the functioning of the court

I will not allow this proceeding to become

as unruly as it is outside

and I will not let you turn this into

any more of a circus than you already have

Mr Dent call your next witness

the state calls Gary Puddles

Benneth you please escort Mr Puddles to the stand

please raise your right hand

do you solemnly swear

that the testimony you're about to give

is the whole truth and nothing but the truth

so help you got I do

good morning Mr Puddles

thank you for being here

it's one last question sir

the person who you saw stabbed

Randall Kleinmenhoffer to death

are they in this courtroom here today

yes

can you point them out to all of us and

describe his clothing

he's sitting right at the table

wearing a red suit and clown makeup

may the record reflect the identification of

the accused your honor

yes it will

nothing further your honor

your witness Mister Fleck

Mr Puddles

Gary Puddles

tell me sir

is that your god given name

yes

really

really

your last name is puddles

why it sounds like a

a joke well it's not

you expect us to believe that your last name is Puddles

Puddles Mr Flag

where is this going as I said

I'm not gonna let you turn my courtroom into a circus

okay

um

with all due special

and I think it's a little late for that

don't try my patience

Mr puzzles

earlier this afternoon

you testified that you saw me stab Mr Climbing in

Huff in the neck a couple of times

correct

crime an offer

yes I saw you

and what else did you see that day

you're stabbing him in the eye

and bashing his head into the wall

many many times

yes but uh

Randall was a bit of a bully

wasn't he

didn't deserve to die

no

never mind Gary

did you catch my act on the Murray Franklin Show

later that night

no I didn't no

might I remind you that you were under oath

I was locked up at the police station

in an interview room

they thought you might come and kill me

I was daddy witness they kept me in there all night

isn't that convenient Mr Puddles

you didn't see the show

you didn't see anything I had to say

I can't believe it Mr Fleck okay

when you were in my mama's apartment

god rest her soul when

as you say you saw me bash Mr Clennonman

whatever's head into the wall many many times

did I seem crazy to you

did I seem like a different person

or was I the same old Joker that I always

did it isn't you

it isn't me so you don't think this is me

maybe maybe you don't know who I really was

I never saw that so maybe you weren't looking

maybe no one was because nobody knew I existed

but look around look at all these people

everyone outside these cameras

who do you think they see Mr Puddles

Joker

oh sweet child

what you are proven here today

is that you are no different

than any of those people that underestimated me

from Murray Franklin to those goddamn fat

stupid girls in Arkham

and think that they can treat me like trash

but I will no longer allow you or you or you

or any of you to keep me down I am free

why are you doing this to me

answer what

Gary I like you

I told you I wouldn't hurt you and I didn't no hurt me

I can go back to work

I still can't sleep and I'm scared all the time

never used to be scared

I'm scared right now here it's you in front of me

I couldn't do anything that day

I felt so small

I was reminded how powerless I really am

go

you got a flare full of dramatic

you are tugging at my heart strings little Gary

no more no more questions hon

do you know what that feels like Arthur

you were the only one at work who never made fun of me
