You really can't get good help these days.

(CAR CREAKS)

(GRUNTS) Phew!

(CAR DooR oPENS AND CLoSES)

l understand your help is the very best money can buy.

You see, l'm the one who had you hired.

Then l owe you something special.

This particular assignment is one from which l will derive

-exquisite pleasure, Miss... -Call me Candice.

Call me Bane.

(KISSES)

(GRUNTING)

Come on, boss. Hit it again.

Again.

(GRUNTING)

Come on, boss. No wonder Batman's running rings around you.

(GRUNTS LoUDLY)

Just can't get good help these days.

So l have heard.

Candice, when Jake here comes around,

tell him he's fired.

Now, let's do a little business, Mr. Bane.

They'll never pin it on me, but that little fiasco cost me an easy _10 mil.

You almost didn't get paid.

You're lucky these diamonds didn't get nabbed in the smuggling bust.

No, Mr. Thorne,

you're the lucky one.

(GRUNTS)

l'm making my secretary available to you.

She can provide any background you might need on your target.

My needs have already been met.

l'm paying you to go after Batman,

not Killer Croc.

But the Batman will surely be on the reptile's trail.

l will observe the bat in action

and when l understand how he thinks and fights, l will break him.

Now, where do l find this Killer Croc?

(SNARLS)

(GUARDS SCREAMING)

Load the truck. We'll get the safe.

(KILLER CRoC GRoANING)

That's Croc.

(KILLER CRoC SCREAMING)

(GRoANS)

Somebody's helping us out.

Somebody tough.

(GRoANS)

He could be a crime-fighter, you know?

Somebody trying to be like us, trying to help us clean up Gotham.

What do you think, Batman? Do you...

What?

l think you're right about one thing, Robin.

Whoever did this was tough.

This was done with bare hands.

Yisiting hours are over.

Hmm...

How do these traction things work?

When my bones heal, l'll show you Firsthand.

Okay, okay.

What do you want?

Who did this, Croc?

Why should l tell you?

lf you wanna suffer in silence, that's Fine by me.

Ahhh!

Okay, okay.

He was huge.

He had these tubes in his head.

Pumped him up twice as big right in front oF my eyes.

And he had an accent. South American or something.

See? That wasn't so hard.

You'll know hard, Bats,

once he sucks that juice into his brain and snaps you in two.

Don't bet on it, Killer.

Later, gator.

(DooR BUZZES AND SLAMS)

(BmS SCREECHING)

You seem to have a ding in your door, sir.

He trashed my car, Alfred.

Between a couple of guys, that's real personal.

Nice to see you haven't lost your sense of humor in the face oF adversity.

Something Croc said reminded me of a Cuban prison experiment l heard about.

Pe�a Duro Prison, for li Fers only.

-Then we're looking For an escapee? -That's right.

And there's only been one escape in 25 years,

three years ago.

Computer, run background file on Project Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh. Named after the warrior?

The ultimate warrior.

A chem�cal plan to create super soldiers out of hardened prisoners.

lt was abandoned when they got more than they bargained ror.

ALFRED: _nd what was that, sir? 8ATMAN: They got Bane.

AFter he escaped,

Bane went into business for himself as a freelance assassin.

Price periob, _5 million.

So, the question is,

who wants to eliminate me?

That line is forming around the block, sir.

Let me put it this way.

Who has _5 million to spend?

BANE: l have anticipated his every move.

Very soon now, l will allow you the pleasure of drawing the mask

from Batman's decimated face.

With Batman out of the way, Gotham could be yours.

So could l.

And what about your employer?

Well, accidents do happen.

See you tonight.

You're here late, Candice.

Just leaving, Rupe.

He's out there somewhere, Bane.

Yes. Probably closer than we think.

(VoICE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY oN TV)

You've been stood up.

He knew you'd come.

He was obsessed with you in prison.

He's read everything about you.

He knows you better than you know yourseIF.

(PHoNE RINGING)

Bet it's For you.

8ANf: l've been watching you, Batman.

Were l a common sniper,

you'd have never reached the phone.

What do you want, Bane?

Something more personal between foes.

What do you value most, Batman?

Perhaps l should say

whom do you value most?

(GASPS)

Robin.

(GASPS)

l want his mask, Bane.

Patience. Soon you will have them both.
