And

now, without a further ado, Yooker!

This is cool.

A little pause.

..

and we are back.

Morning, sir.

Nothing good about it.

Get up!

Let's go, get up.

Let's go, boys, let's get this show on the
road.

Come on, come on!

Come on, get out of bed.

Let's go, get up.

Leave this fucking mess up.

Hey, Jackie, I need a hand.

Put some clothes on.

What the fuck?

You got a joke for me today?

Arthur, you feeling crazy today or what?

Take him down to that floor.

You got a big date today.

You better put on a happy face.

Let's go, Arthur.

Come on, Fleck.

Don't need your fancy lawyer blaming me if
you're late.

She knows how much you like me,
right?

Hey, Fleck, you got a joke for us today?

Yeah, it's been a while, hasn't it?

Back the fuck up, kid.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Front of the line.

Fleck... Fleck's next, my dear.

Hey, hey, back up.

All the kid's done since he got here is
fucking smile.

And today, all of a sudden, he bites
Moran?

It's because nobody likes Moran.

He was at Gotham
State for like eight years

before he got here, and
he's still a fucking temp.

You look like you got a joke for us today.

I already asked him.

I got a joke for you.

This guy's dog dies, right?

And he really loved his dog.

So, he goes down to the
church, and he asks Father

Mulcahy if he'd perform
a funeral for him, right?

And Mulcahy says, oh, no.

Sorry, my son, we can't have a service for
an animal in our church.

But I bet if you go down to the veterinarian
in town, he can do it for you, you see.

God damn it, Arthur.

So the guy says, oh, thanks very much,
Father.

He says, do you think two grand would be
enough to cover the service?

Father Mulcahy looks at him.

Why didn't you tell me the dog was
Catholic?

Huh?

Clean your sofa.

You like that one, Arthur?

Let's go.

Why didn't you tell me the dog was a
Catholic?

Look around, Arthur.

This is how the other half lives.

Could have been all yours if you hadn't
killed five people.

One live on national TV.

What

the fuck is this shit?

Move with it, moron.

Hey.

Come on.

Jesus Christ, you couldn't get him a
fucking umbrella.

Oh, come on, counselor.

You know, we can't give these boys
umbrellas.

It's for their own good.

Oh, don't give me your shit.

He's soaking wet.

Well, those are the rules, counselor.

But I'd break them if you asked me.

I bet you would.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, you're welcome, by the way,
for getting them all cleaned up for you.

Sit down.

Here, Arthur.

Today we're meeting with Dr. Beatty.

Remember her?

She's gonna be videotaping
you this time, so we

can show it at your
competency hearing next week.

And if they find you competent,
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.

Dr. Beatty 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 I'm saying?

I 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 body?

Your past, your childhood?

Do you remember any of what happened?

Did you black out, see bright lights?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

How about Murray Franklin?

What, if anything, do you remember about
that night?

The music.

That's good.

Arthur, that is good.

Can I tell you what I remember about that
night?

I remember.

You came out dressed as Joker.

And I remember Joker was dancing to that
music.

Right?

Well, I really liked his band.

My mom and I used to watch the show
together.

She liked Murray Franklin as well?

He's so handsome.

Look at those sparkling lightings.

Is that your mother's voice?

Mm-hmm.

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 you wanted to show me how
to kiss.

They said Joker's a really good kisser.

Nobody's ever gave me a kiss before.

I gotta be honest with you, Arthur.

I wouldn't have took you for a hopeless
romantic.

Cigarette?

Why not?

I don't know.

What are you doing?

He doesn't get a cigarette unless he tells
a joke.

No, come on.

He still makes us laugh, doesn't he?

Barely.

Hey.

Remember that music class we saw the other
day?

B-Ward?

Remember with all the singing?

I got you in.

We're going next week.

Bullshit.

The fuck you do that for?

Yeah, I know.

Went and sucked at him and I said,
You've been good.

You deserve it.

What the hell is he thinking?

Yeah.

He knows he can get some good press for
it.

Plus, I told him I'd go along with him.

Oh, there it is.

That explains it.

Come on, let's go.

Line up by two.

Come on, Romeo.

Line them up.

Let's go.

Twos.

Line up by twos.

Come on, let's go.

Are you being serious?

I am being serious.

In the Bible.

Well, it wasn't that hard either.

It's just they made that TV movie about
you.

Everybody still thinks you're a star.

How about you, Arthur?

Do you still think you're a star?

I bet you do, don't you?

I said that's life.

All right, Arthur.

That's life.

That's life.

That's what all the people say.

That's what all the people say.

You're riding high in April.

Shot down in May.

But I don't let it, let it get me down.

Cause this fine old world, it keeps
spinning around.

I've been a puppet all my life.

A pauper, a pirate, a poet.

A pawn and a king.

I've been up and down and over and out.

And I know one thing.

Each time I find myself laying flat on my
face.

I just pick myself up and get back in the
race.

That's life.

That's life.

That's life.

That's life.

And I can't deny it.

Many times I thought of cutting out but my
heart won't buy it.

But if there's nothing shaking come this
here July.

I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball.

And die.

And one day I'll see the world.

In a one-ührung war.

Which one I won.

Never A single 이름 But this is life.

I'm back, I'm alone.

I love this place.

Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it.

Group I want you to welcome Arthur Fleck.

Now I know it's odd to have an inmate from
E ward in here but I have been assured

he's been a model patient without any
incidents.

I know this might feel strange Mr. Fleck,
a new environment.

You see we use music in
this class to make us whole, to

balance the conflicting forces,
the fractures within ourselves.

All I ask is that you sing if and when
you're ready to sing.

Come on get happy, never chase all your
cares away.

Shout hallelujah, come on get happy.

How about this one?

I don't know.

Can't wait.

Don't know it.

Okay.

Is it really you?

Yeah.

Great.

If I want to go, yeah, yeah, see.

I got the world on a string, sitting on a
rainbow.

That's it.

Got the string around my finger.

My name's Lee.

Hey.

Arthur.

I know.

So what's a nice guy like you doing in a
place like this?

I kill five people more than I have on
national television.

What about you?

I set fire to my parents' apartment
building.

You were six.

Nobody knows, but I also killed my mother.

I should have done that.

My mother had me committed.

She says I'm psychotic.

You know, I must have watched that TV
movie they made about you like 20 times.

Yeah.

Was it good?

They wouldn't let me watch it.

It was good.

It was really good.

I grew up in the same neighborhood.

Me and my friends used to take that
staircase to school every day.

My parents didn't give a fuck about me
either.

My father beat the shit out of me.

Well, guess what?

Knock, knock.

Sorry, kid.

Your dad was killed in a car accident.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

If only those friends could see me now.

When I first saw Joker...

When I saw you and Murray Franklin...

The whole time I was watching, I kept
thinking, I hope this guy blows his brains out.

And then you did.

...and for once in my life, I didn't feel
so alone anymore.

Forget your troubles, come on,
get happy.

Better chase all your cares away.

Sing hallelujah, come on, get happy.

Ready for the judgment day.

The sun is shining, come on, get happy.

The Lord is waiting to take your hand.

Sing hallelujah, come on, get happy.

Hey, Jackie.

You wanna know what I regret most from
being on The Murray Franklin Show?

What's that?

That I didn't shoot first and let him ask
me questions later.

Is that a joke, Arthur?

Yeah.

All it took was you getting a little old
-fashioned.

Let's get you medication.

Not guilty by reason of insanity makes no
sense in this case.

He murdered five innocent people.

And his... Hey, Fleck.

...braved acts of violence...
You're on the news.

...trials by his followers.

Not only in our city, but all over the
country.

Vandalism.

Arson.

Tens of millions of dollars... The judge
says you're competent to stand trial.

...and they are still...
I fucking knew it.

...and these people, they believe Arthur
Fleck to be some kind of martyr.

Well, he's not.

Arthur Fleck is a monster.

We knew exactly what he was doing.

And our office will be seeking the death
penalty.

Thank you.

We'll be taking no questions.

You hear that, Fleck?

The death penalty.

They're gonna fry you, Artie.

How does that feel?

...for once in my life.

I have someone who needs me.

...someone I've needed so long.

...for once in my life.

For once I'm afraid I can go where life
leads me somehow I know I'll be strong for

once I can touch what
my heart used to dream

of long before I knew
Someone warm like you.

Someone warm like you.

Make my dreams come true.

For months in my life I won't let sorrow
hurt me.

Not like it's hurt me before.

For once I have someone I know won't
desert me.

And I'm not alone anymore.

For once I can say this is mine,
you can't take it.

As long as I know I've got love I can make
it.

For once in my life I've got someone who
needs me.

Go on then.

For once I

can say this is mine, you can't take it.

As long as I know I've got love I can make
it.

For once in my life I've got someone.

For once in my life I've got someone.

For once in my life...

Answer him, Arthur.

How's it make you feel?

You scared?

...

...any statements to the press,
even if Kellerman asks you to.

You know they've been out there all week?

To see me.

They wanna talk to me.

It's like I could've signed that book.

...I told you before, I set up an
exclusive interview next week.

...It's like I could've signed that book.

...right before trial.

Okay, but Kellerman asked me to make a
statement now.

He's letting me go to this movie tonight,
you know, like a normal person.

What are you talking about?

Come on, Arthur.

Okay, um, yeah, I'm sorry, I have to go.

Arthur, I told you...

Okay, let's move it.

Hang on, Jackie.

He's signing my book.

Make it quick, Arthur.

I don't want to miss the beginning.

Gotta be worth a fortune when they deny
his ass.

Easy now.

Let's go.

Musical, musical.

I'm sick of these artificial barriers
between the musical and the drama.

Well, then you certainly don't need me.

Yes, we do.

Because you can be greater than you ever
were.

We are going to make you explode on the
theater scene like a skyrocket.

Not just the old
trademark with the top hat,

tie, and tails, but a
great arse in the middle.

Kelly.

The new Tony Hunter.

Tony Hunter 1953.

Oh, it's a challenge.

Come on.

You already know how this is gonna end.

Everything's gonna work out.

Well, what do you think I am?

What do you think they are?

What do you think the theater is?

It's all entertainment.

Believe me.

There is no difference between the magic
rhythms of Bill Robinson's immortal feet.

..

You said that before.

All right, all right.

Well, what did Bill Robinson do?

He danced on the stairs, didn't he?

Now I happen to play Oedipus the King on
the same stairs.

What's the difference?

We're all theater.

Show me the lowest retinas, comic, and
burlesque, and I'll show you an entertainer.

We're all entertainers.

You're gonna miss the song.

Everything that happens in life can happen
in a show.

You can make them laugh.

You can make them cry.

Anything, anything can go.

The clown with his pants falling down.

Or the dance that's a dream of romance.

Or the scene where the villain is mean.

That's entertainment.

The lights on the lady in tights.

Or the bride with the guy on the side.

Or the ball where she gives him her all.

That's entertainment.

Now that I understand.

The hot simply teeming with sex.

A gay divorcee who is after her ex.

It could be Oedipus Rex.

Where a chap kills his father and causes a
lot of bother.

Don't panic.

Easy, easy, calm down.

Get ready, let's go!

If they could see me now.

That little..

You're natural

smile and it's a healthy sign.

Oh..

I'd like to stumble.

I told you I wanted to get out of there.

Are you crazy?

...but I said I'll leak out.

They'll never believe it if my friends
could see me.

See you in the swamp on the new movie.

...if they can see me now.

That little dusty group.

Chimpsin' round this
million dollar chicken... Keep

laughing asshole!

Last one down on the left.

...you wanna play games on my watch
Arthur?

...two weeks in the hole.

...enjoy your stay.

...and

stay here my friend.

I'll find my way back to you.

...here and now... ...I know
somehow... ...we tell a story that's true.

...in our minds... ...we'd be
just fine... ...if it were only us two.

...they might... ...say
that we're crazy.

...but I'm just a lie.

...there's my guy.

...yeah.

...one of the guards let me in.

...I'd do anything for you.

...but we don't have a lot of time.

...come here.

Laura.

...can you get up?

...come into the light.

...they're sending me home.

...why?

...they're saying you're a bad influence
on me.

...this is gonna be good for us.

...now I can be at your trial every day.

...I can see you every day until you get
out.

...and then what?

...we're gonna build a mountain.

...we're gonna build a mountain.

...wait a minute.

...you're probably right.

...I wanna see the real you.

...look what they did to you.

...it's just us now.

...it's just us now.

...it's just us now.

...it's just us now.

...you need to stop taking your
medication.

...I already am.

...what's he gonna ask me about besides,
you know...

...well hopefully about your life in here.

...and what the conditions are really like
in this place.

...he might ask you about Lee.

...yeah.

...she's been out there giving a lot of
interviews about you.

...and about herself.

...good.

...good.

...and I love her.

...she gets me.

...Arthur.

...this is a chance for you to show a
different side of yourself.

...so the public can see who you really
are.

...and I don't think you should smoke.

...I think it makes you look cavalier.

...we need to use this time to show people
that you're human.

...we need to use this time to show people
that you're human.

...I understand you were sick.

...delusional.

...you're not Joker.

...you're Arthur Fleck.

...hmm?

...don't worry.

...you're gonna be great.

...Arthur.

...are you okay?

...he's...

...it's not too late to cancel.

...so uh...

...you want me to call you Arthur or the
Joker?

...Mr.

Myers, you know we have an agreement.

...you can't call him Joker.

...it's Arthur.

...Arthur Fleck.

...are you ready, buddy?

...she has to leave now.

...you can watch from behind the glass,
but you can't be in here.

...rolling?

...rolling.

...two years ago, the name Arthur Fleck
hit 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 at one of the first

trials ever broadcast live on TV,
Arthur Fleck, 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 Murray Franklin.

...what was going through
your mind when you

pulled out that gun
and blew his brains out?

...well, Paddy...

...I was going through a lot back then.

...I don't really remember much.

...but from that night I...

...uh...

...blocked 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.

...Paddy, 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.

...your 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 a better one.

...you 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 want to die?

...well, at the time, it certainly seemed
a lot easier than living.

...but that's not me anymore.

...that's not...

...that's not who I am.

...that wasn't really you.

...no, that's not what I meant.

...let me get this straight.

...that's not what I meant.

...so your defense is it was the Joker who
did it.

...an insanity defense.

...I don't know about a defense.

...this alternate personality.

...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 who goaded a bunch of no
-good punks?

...do you really care?

...you don't.

...you're just like Murray.

...you're just like everyone.

...you want sensationalism.

...you don't care about... ...you
just want to talk about my mistakes.

...you want to talk about the things I did
in the past.

...not about who I am now.

...not how I'm different 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.

...alright.

...okay, so...

...tell us.

...what's changed, Arthur?

...well, I'll tell you what's changed,
Patty.

...I'm not alone anymore.

...right.

...the girl who was singing...

...the night you tried to escape.

...I'm not trying to escape.

...Miss Harley Quinzel.

...you two put on quite a performance that
night.

...oh...

...she's really something, isn't she?

...you tell me.

...I mean, don't you think it's all...

...don't you think it's a little too much?

...she's a fool.

..

...and don't I know it...

...but a fool can have her charms...

...I'm in love...

...and don't I show it...

...like a babe in arms...

...love... ...was the
same old sad sensation...

...lately I've not slept a wink...

...since this half-blind...

...imitation...

...put me on the
blink... ...wild again.

..

...beguiled again...

...simply... ...a
simple win-win...

...wintering child again...

...bewitched...

...bothered...
...and bewildered...

...am I...

...lost my heart...

...but what of it?

...

Excuse me?

Yeah, thank you.

The

weather flick will begin today.

Assistant DA Harvey Dent is
preparing his opening remarks

in what some are calling
the trial of the century.

After months of protests, police will be
on high alert, closing surrounding

streets, setting up barricades for crowds
that could reach in the thousands.

If you ask me, this
is what you get when

there's a complete
breakdown in social services.

And don't get me started on this media
frenzy.

Alright, Denise, you're on the air.

Thank you for taking my call.

Enough is enough.

This idiot doesn't deserve a trial.

He should be sent straight...

Coming in.

Okay.

Showtime.

Shh, shh.

There he is.

Hey!

Shut the fuck up.

...waiting for the trial.

Archer!

Milligan.

Archer!

I'll split your head open.

He's looking good.

All rise.

This court is now in session.

The Honorable Judge Herman Rothwax is
presiding.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

Please be seated.

William, please invite the jury in.

Are you all right, 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.

And that applies to everyone in this
courtroom.

Sidney, please call the case.

The people of the state of New York versus
Arthur Fleck.

Case number GC07196.

Everything that happens in life
Can happen in a show You can

make them laugh You can make
them cry Anything, anything can go

The clown with his pants falling down Or
the dance That's the dream of romance Or

the scene Where the villain is mean Bounce
and turn Entertainment

The lights on the lady in tights Or the
bride with the guy on the side Over the

pole Where she gives it her all It's my
view that there is absolutely no evidence

Do you have any 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 faking it,
as you say, then what is

your opinion on the
defendant's mental condition?

I believe he has four 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, Dr. Liu.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

Your witness, Ms. Stewart.

Thank you.

Dr. Liu, 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 seven 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 seven-year-old boy told them

about the physical and sexual abuse he
suffered?

No, I didn't ask him about that.

So you want us to believe that after
spending just 89 minutes with Arthur Fleck

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 and 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.

Objection.

I had another... Your Honor.

Again, my client's personal diary is
privileged.

Overruled.

Again, as long as Mrs. Cain limits her
comments to Mr. Fleck's jurisdiction...

These are my own personal private jokes
that weren't meant to be made out loud.

Quiet!

These are your words she's reading.

And it's up to the jury to determine what
to make of them.

Please proceed.

Ms. Cain, please continue reading from 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. Fleck's
neighbor, whom he was obsessed with.

What was that date?

November 17.

Let the record show, November 17th is the
day that Mr. Fleck stabbed Randall

Klymanhofer to death.

The very same day that he shot and killed
Murray Franklin.

Now, I know it's not your area of
expertise, but you have read all of Mr.

Fleck's journal before, 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.

She's just as social as the room.

I don't think she's even qualified to...

You know, you're making him out to be a
fucking idiot in there.

He's never gonna get out if you keep this
shit up.

Ask her why she has me sitting so far away
from him.

Let's not do this here, please.

Do you see all those people out front?

Who do you think they're here for?

How many T-shirts is Arthur Fleck on?

How many signs?

It's the trial of the century and she
doesn't even know who her own client is.

Can't you see 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 then what?

And then we're gonna build a mountain.

A what?

From a little hill.

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 place.

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.

But 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 to.

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 wouldn't 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.

Now I do.

From NCB studios in Gotham City,
ladies and gentlemen.

It's the Joker and Harley show.

There's a light

There's another shell on me I want my
whole life to be

Well, you weren't even looking at me
anymore.

You were 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 the sneaking 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 it from the top.

Is the honeymoon over?

Watch it.

Watch it.

Oh.

Pew.

Pew.

Okay, here we go.

Groan.

Ah, 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 who I just saw out front.

A little lady friend.

All right, enough.

Get up, both of you.

Hey, Fleck.

You got a visitor.

See, I thought what did I tell you?

Move it!

Every day, this asshole.

A real fucking whack job, Fleck.

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 neighborhood
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.

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?

Uh... probably more like four or five.

Was it actually good, or did 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?

They're 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 want to live there.

I'm pregnant.

Why do birds suddenly appear Every time
you are near Just like me They love to be

close to you Why do stars fall down from
the sky Every time you walk by Just like

me They love to be close to you Really?

Really.

On the day that you were born The angels
got together And decided To make a dream

come true So they
sprinkled moon dust In your

hair of golden starlight
In your eyes of blue

That is why All the girls
in town Follow you Just

like me, they long to
be close to you Just like

me, they long to be close to you

Just like me, they long to be close to you
Did you think he was going to hurt you?

Or your daughter?

I did, yes.

You believed he was dangerous?

Well, he broke into my apartment.

Did he call the police?

No.

His mother told me that
he'd 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 knew?

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 Ms. Dumond, why is it that you didn't
want to come here and testify today?

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 then 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?

Because 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, Ms. Stewart.

Ms. Dumond, 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 hurt or even threatened you or
your daughter?

No.

And did you watch him on TV on Murray
Franklin the following week?

I did.

And 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 was 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 that 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.

That's why she called him happy.

And?

And she...

couldn't believe that he'd based his whole
life around this made-up story.

He was a street clown and he wanted to be
a 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'd been in and out
of institutions his whole life?

Yes.

There's always a true girl In the pack
There's always a lonely girl In the pack

The poor laughing fool falls on his back
And everyone laughs when he's down There's

always a funny man In the game
But he's only funny by mistake ...

and everyone looks
at him just the same.

They don't see his lonely heart's grave.

They don't care as long as there is a
jester.

Just a fool, as foolish as he can be.

There's always a joker.

That's the rule.

But fate deals the hand in a suit.

The jokester is me.

They don't care as long as there is a
jester.

...as foolish as he can be.

The joker is me.

Yeah, that he had never had a girlfriend
and he thought he was probably a virgin.

Oh, I can't do this anymore.

Your Honor, may I pooch the bench,
please?

No, you may not.

I want to fire my lawyer.

Excuse me?

I'd like to represent myself.

You're fired.

Arthur, don't do this.

This is real.

You better believe it's real.

Fuck, Arthur!

Hey!

That's just your fucking holy cell!

Arthur!

Hey, no touching!

I'm so fucking proud of you.

You should see it out there.

They're all going crazy for you.

You did it.

I don't know.

Maybe I should read a law book or
something.

Until I never went to high school.

What do you want from me?

I said no touching!

You

can do anything you want.

You're a joker.

48

degrees at 6 o'clock on this Wednesday,
November 8th.

I'm Stan L.

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 Rothwell.

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 Rothwell reluctantly approved
Fleck's request to represent himself as

long as he agreed to stand by counsel,
a decision that both Fleck's now former

attorney, Mary Ann 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.

If we could have just convinced him of
that, then we would have won this case.

Fleck knows what he's doing.

He knows he's losing.

We cannot forget that he's evil.

This is all just part of his plan.

The ultimate flick trial will resume on
Monday morning.

In other words, we are
going to... THE END Hey!

Shut the fuck up.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Hey!

Sit down, Arthur.

Hey!

Take my fuck...

Ricky!

Take my fuck down!

Ahh!

Sit down!

Come on!

What is this fucking thing?

Sit down.

All right, show is over.

Calm down.

Hey.

Hey.

Take my fuck down.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, fuck.

Fuck.

After reviewing all the case law that
offers precedent, Jensen v.

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.

Bailiff, 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 God.

I do.

Good morning, Mr. Puddles.

Thank you for being here.

So one last question, sir.

The person who you saw
stab Randall Klymanhofer

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 there 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, Mr. Fleck.

Mr. Puddles.

Gary Puddles?

Tell me, sir.

Does that your God-given name?

Yes.

Really?

Really?

Your last name is Puddles?

Well, it sounds like a...

a joke.

Well, it's not.

You expect us to believe that your last
name is Puddles?

Puddles?

Puddles?

Mr. Fleck, where is this going?

As I said, I'm not going to let you turn
my courtroom into a circus.

Okay.

But, um, with all due
respect, Your Honor,

don't you think it's
a little late for that?

Don't try my patience.

Mr.

Puddles, earlier this afternoon,
you testified that you saw me stab Mr.

Klymanhofer.

A couple of times, correct?

Klymanhofer.

Yes.

I saw you.

Hmm.

And what else did you see that day?

You 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?

He didn'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.

So they thought you might come and kill
me.

I was the only witness.

I stayed 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.

Uh, when you were in my mama's apartment,
God rest her soul, when, as you say,

you saw me bash Mr. Klymanwhatevers 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
been?

Oh, so don't do this to yourself.

It isn't you.

It isn't me.

So you don't think this is me.

Well, maybe, maybe, you don't know who I
really was.

... ...

I never saw that sort of thing.

Well, 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 have 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 guards

at Arkham, to 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, Arthur?

What?

Gary, I like you.

I told you I wouldn't hurt you,
and I didn't.

Not hurt me.

I couldn't go back to work.

I still can't sleep.

And I'm scared all the time.

I never used to be scared.

I'm scared right now, here.

With you in front of me.

I couldn't do anything that day.

I felt so small.

It's reminding me how powerless I really
am.

Oh.

You've got a flair for the dramatic.

You are tugging at my heartstrings,
little Gary.

No more questions, Your Honor?

Do you know what that feels like,
Arthur?

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

You were the only one that was nice to me.

I said, no more questions, Your Honor.

Very well, Mr. Buttles.

The court thanks you for your testimony.

Please step down.

You're excused.

Mr. Dent, call your next witness.

We're not calling any more witnesses,
Your Honor.

That is the state's case.

The state rests.

Very well.

All right, Mr. Fleck.

At this point, you may mount your defense.

The defense rests as well, Your Honor.

Pardon?

Mr. Fleck, you...

You don't want to put on any defense.

No, Your Honor.

The defense rests.

That's all, folks.

That's enough.

This is a court of law.

With both sides having rested, this court
will recess until tomorrow morning at 9.

30.

You made that case worse, you fucking
idiot.

You got a fine for killing my son.

Will you be convicted?

Over here.

Don't see that smile.

What are you

going to do if they let you off?

We're going to build a mountain

Go to hell Gonna build me a mountain Least
I hope I'll weigh out And build a mountain

I don't know how we're gonna do it Only
now

Gonna build us a heaven Gonna build us a
heaven A little pause... and we are back.

A little pause... and we are back.

A little pause... and we are back.

...but they

don't bark and they don't lose they keep
things alive.

...but

they don't bark and they don't lose they
keep things alive.

Yo, how goes it?

You know, same old bullshit.

How's Cathy?

Still busting my balls.

Still busting my balls.

They always do.

See you fellas in the morning.

I'm in trouble.

What?

Move!

Easy, darling!

Not me!

Move your ass!

Come on!

I'm in!

I'm the fucking Queen of Sheba!

I'll fucking murder you!

Big shot on TV.

You got yourself up.

Come on.

Come on.

Stand him up.

All right, I get it.

I get it, Jackie.

You want to hear a joke, right?

You really think...

Fancy that suit.

A look on your face makes you better than
us.

You have no fucking
idea what it takes to put

a little bit of joy into
this fucking place.

Let me tell you one thing to do about my
mother.

You can drop the actor.

We know it's on the actor in there,
okay?

And she only dated abusive guys.

Yes, darling.

And I asked her, I said, Mom, why
yesterday with your abusive boyfriend?

And she said, Peace the hell out of me!

I told you to drop it!

I said, What's wrong with you?

Are you a jerk?

Shut the fuck up.

That is fucking ragtime.

Oh, mind your business, Fuller!

What'd you do to him?

Shut the fuck up, Ricky!

The Saints are coming, Jackie!

The Saints are coming!

Oh, when the Saints...

Oh, when the Saints go
marching in... Shut the fuck up!

God, I want to be in that number!

Get him fucking out of here!

The Saints go marching in!

God!

Fucking asshole!

Are they coming now?

He's up!

...rolled on a string sitting
on a rainbow got that string

around my finger what a
world what a life I'm in love

I've got a song that I sing I can make the
rain go anytime I move my finger lucky me

can't you see I'm in love life
is a beautiful thing... ... ... ... ...

I'd be as silly as so-and-so if I should
ever let it go.

I've got the world on a string and I'm
sitting on a rainbow.

Got that string around my finger.

Mr. Fleck, your closing statement?

A word of caution.

This is not a comedy club.

You are not on stage.

Excuse me.

You need a short recess, sir?

I wanted to come out here as Joker.

And I was gonna go.

I don't want to.

An angry rant.

And blame all of you.

And everyone.

This fucking miserable life.

But it wouldn't matter because I can't do
this anymore.

Because I can't be who you want me to be.

It was all just a fantasy.

There is no Joker.

It's just me.

I killed six people.

I wish I didn't.

But I did.

Nobody knows, but I also killed my mother.

I had a pillow over her face and smothered
her to death.

I just want to blow it all up.

And start a new life.

Knock.

Knock.

Who's there?

Arthur Fleck.

Arthur Fleck who?

The

message has been received.

It was your reporter and which...

Hi, it's me.

Arthur.

The jury is ready to come back.

I came back with a verdict.

Took less than an hour.

So... You know.

They let me call you to see if you'd come
back.

Because I want you here.

I didn't want you to go.

If you go away.

On this sunny day.

Then you might as well.

Take the sun away.

All the birds that flew.

In the bright blue sky.

When our love was new.

And our hearts were high.

And the day was young.

And the night was long.

And the moon stood still.

But the night birds song.

If you go away.

But if you stay.

I'll make you a day.

Like no day has been.

Or will be again.

For I don't know rain.

Will sail on your touch.

I'll talk to your eyes.

That I love so much.

And if you go.

Go I won't cry.

All the good is gone.

And I won't goodbye.

If you go away.

Just an empty room.

At the empty look.

I see a whole new thing.

The memories.

That have been shadow of your talk.

I thought it.

I had kept me.

Dinosaur.

I said.

You go away.

As a reminder.

Regardless of the verdict.

I will not tolerate any outbursts.

Of any kind.

In the matter of the people of the state
of New York vs.

Hey, get down!

Stay down!

Get down, man!

You know any fucking faster, man?

Come on!

I'm trying!

Fuck, there's cops everywhere!

You said you wanted to blow it all up.

And somebody blew it the fuck up!

Oh, this is fucking great!

Fuck you!

We have devastating news to report right
now.

A massive car bomb has gone off in
downtown Gotham, exploding just outside

the county courthouse
where thousands had turned

out to hear the verdict
in the Arthur Fleck trial.

Details are still coming in.

Continue to stay tuned as we bring you the
latest updates and more.

Are you okay?

Fuck.

Fuck me!

Can you cut around it?

No, chill out.

It's red.

It's okay.

Fuck.

Calm down, man.

This is just the beginning, man.

They're gonna burn the whole fucking city
down now.

No, wait.

Wait, don't do this, man.

Come on, man.

What are you doing?

God damn it.

God damn it.

Look, it's you.

You cut your hair?

Somewhere below the courthouse.

Then you're free.

We can go away.

Can you hear me?

It's somewhere below the courthouse.

We can go.

I escaped.

We're not going away, Arthur.

All we had was the fantasy, and then you
gave up.

We were never going anywhere.

I'm not the same guy you fell in love
with.

I'm the same guy that murdered Marie
Franklin.

No.

No, you're not.

There is no joker.

That's what you said, isn't it?

I can't.

I can't.

I can't.

I can't live without you.

The show That is really a show Sends you
out With a kind of a glow And you'll say

As you go on your way That's entertainment
I don't want to sing anymore.

A song That is winging along Just talk to
me.

Our dance With a touch of romance Just
talk to me.

Stop singing.

You believe To know that we had dreams

That's entertainment

Dodgy Is it now?

Come my little till not a brittle I will
help you.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha It is love...

Fleck, let's go.

We've got a visitor.

Let's go!

Hey, Arthur.

Hold up.

Can I tell you a joke I came up with?

Huh?

Is it quick?

Yeah, I can make it quick.

Okay.

So, a psychopath walks into a bar and sees
this famous clown sitting there, all alone.

Totally drunk.

It's pathetic.

I can't believe you're here, he says.

What a disappointment.

I used to watch you on TV.

What can I get you?

And this clown turns and says, Well, if
you're buying, you can get me anything.

Perfect, the psychopath says.

How about I get you what you fucking
deserve?

... ...

... ... ...

... ...

... ...

... ... ... ... ...
... ... ... ... ... ...

...

A little pause...

and we are back.

A little pause.

..

and we are back.

When I'm back for a time in June

Funny as it seems Some people get their
kicks just steppin' on a dream But I

wonder one thing Each
time I find myself flat

on my face I picked
myself up and get back.

If I didn't think it was worth a try.

I'm not the queen.

I've been unthemed.

It's my life.

You'll find out soon.

Don't be sad.

I know you will.

But

don't give up until true love will find
you in the end.

This is a promise with a catch.

Only if you're looking can it find you.

Cause true love is searching too.

True love is searching too.

But how can it recognize you as you step
out into the light, the light.

Don't be sad.

I know you will.

Don't give up until true love will find
you in the end.

True love will find you in the end.

I'm OK.

Only matter I will believe because true
love will find you in the end.
