Scene opens with the explosion across town; the
police station is in chaos. Jim asks
one phycho where Jerome is; he responds “look around, he’s everywhere” and
laughs wickedly. Car alarms are ringing
as Penguin is brought to Nigma; he asks where “they” are. Nigma tells him he’s alone; he asks if he
brought anyone else. Penguin says, no…
and Nigma shoots the two men who brought him.
He holds the gun to Oswald’s face and tells him he knows he killed
Isabella. Oswald is tied up now and
sitting on the hood of Isabella’s car; Oswald admits that he killed her… but he
says, if he didn’t, Ed would have, just like he did “the other one.” He tells him he did it because he loves him;
Ed says love is about sacrifice, putting someone elses needs before your
own. He points out a vat of acid above
him, which will fall went an ice cube (that is holding the rope together)
melts. Edward tells Oswald goodbye.
A policeman happens by and finds Penguin tied to the car; he manages to cut him lose just in time, as the ice breaks and the vat of acid falls all over, disintegrating the hood of the car. Oswald goes home, where he is confronted by Barbara’s girlfriend and henchman; he tells him she is the one who killed his mother and gloats that he never did anything about it. Penguin tells Barb he underestimated her; she tells him she wants him to help her find Ed. If he doesn’t she is going to kill him; she asks him what his answer is. Penguin has a realization; he says she’s right, he should want Edward dead. But he says Ed was right; he should have been willing to sacrifice his happiness for Ed’s. He says he will do that now; he refuses to help her find him. Ed steps out; Barb says he was wrong, Penguin didn’t give him up like he thought he would. Oswald asks Ed if this means he passed his test; Nigma says he isn’t sure what it means.
Jim tries to distribute units and riot gear; Harvey tells him no one is in charge at City Hall. Jim tries to figure out what Jerome wants; he decides to go talk to Lee. She says the last thing Jerome mentioned was the he remembered trying to kill Bruce Wayne; Jim heads to Bruce’s mansion. There, Jerome has already entered and began rampaging; his crew tear the place apart, while he talks to Bruce. He tells him he is there to kill him, because it’s the last thing he remembers he wanted to do; Bruce says he remembers him from that night at the benefit. He says he is quite a showman; he can’t believe he would want to kill him there, with no show. Bruce tells him he’s important and killing him should mean something; Jerome realizes he is right, he deserves a public death. Jerome tells the crew to kill the butler; Alfred tells Bruce it will be okay.
Alfred does a good job of fending off the three men, and Jim arrives just in time to help him. They kill the men and head out to find Bruce.Jerome takes Bruce to a very strange amusement park, where real people popped their heads up out of holes, as if the gophers in the whack-a-mole game, and standing as targets for shooting and ball throwing games, and Bruce was being forced to watch all of this at gunpoint. Jerome paints Bruce’s face like a clown, using the blood from another clown he stabs in the stomach to draw a frown on Bruce’s face. As a man throws darts and a girl, holding a balloon in her mouth, in front of the board with other balloons, Bruce asks Jerome what the point is. Jerome says these people there are the people who wash your car and take out your trash; luding robbing killing, once the lighs went out they showed their true faces… they want to open your viens and bathe in your blood, he says. Bruce says that’s not true; there are good people in Gotham. Jerome drops a man in the dunk tank, which is filled with piranhas; they immediately attack him and the tank turns bloody.
Jim and Harvey arrive at the amusement park; they have a plan.Circus begins; the first act starts and sucks, Jerome shoots him in the back; he brings Bruce out next, tied to a pole. He brings out a cannon and faces it at Bruce; it’s loaded with a ball and a bucket of nails. Jerome mounts it; Jim fires a shot in the air. Bruce picks his handcuffs with a staple Jerome shot into his arm earlier and gets free just before the cannon fires. The stump of the pole that remains is littered with nails; Jim see this and heads off to find Bruce. Jerome follows Bruce in the a house of mirrors. Bruce jumps him, beats the crap out of his face (literally) and grabs a broken piece of mirror to stab him; he stops when he catches a glimpse of himself in the mirror. He walks out and leaves Jerome laughing, face smashed, on the floor. He comes out to see Alfred and calls out to him; they hug. Jerome comes out and Jim confronts him; he punches Jerome and his face goes flying off, landing in a puddle on the ground.
At home, Bruce tells Alfred that he almost killed Jerome; he says the idea felt right, like justice. Alfred says there is a fine line between Justice and Vengeance. He says he knew where the line was tonight; he didn’t cross it. Bruce makes his first rule: he will not kill. Alfred tells him they need to get back to work. Bruce goes to meet “the Court.” He tells them he is ready. Jim gets a visit from his Uncle Frank. Penguin begs for his life, while Ed holds him at gunpoint, on the edge of the docks; he tells Ed thos would be cold-blooded murder of someone he loves. Nigma says he doesn’t love him; he is still angry that he killed Isabella. Penguin cries and tells him he can’t do this; Ed tells him he loved her and he killed her… he shoots him and pushes him off the dock into the water. Penguin sinks; blood rises.
