Sewer Thug #1: [Sewer thugs have captured Jim Gordon, who is barely conscious] It's the police commissioner.
Bane: And you brought him down here?
Sewer Thug #1: We didn't know what to do.
Bane: You panicked, and your weakness has cost the lives of three others.
Sewer Thug #1: No he's

alone...
[Bane grabs the thug and crush his throat, he drops dead to the ground]

Bane: [after imploding the football field, Bane and his mercenaries appear, and Bane picks up a microphone off one of the coaches] Gotham, take control! Take control of your city.
Bane: [the bomb is wheeled in] This... this is the instrument of your liberation!
[His mercenaries bring Dr. Pavel forward and make him kneel in front of Bane]

Bane: Identify yourself to the world.
[holds microphone in front of Dr. Pavel, as if he is conducting a news interview]
Dr. Pavel: Dr. Leonid Pavel, nuclear physicist.
Bane: And what... what is this?
Dr. Pavel: It's a... fully primed neutron bomb, with a blast radius of six miles.

Bane: And who is capable of disarming such a device?
Dr. Pavel: Only me.
Bane: Only you. Thank you, good doctor!
[snaps Dr. Pavel's neck. The crowd screams in terror]
Bane: Now, this bomb is armed! This bomb is mobile! And the identity of the triggerman is a mystery. For one of you holds the detonator!

And we came here not as conquerors, but as liberators to return control of this city to the people. And at the first sign of interference from the outside world, or for those people attempting to flee, this anonymous Gothamite - this unsung hero - will trigger the bomb. For now, martial law is in effect. Return to your homes, hold your families close, and wait. Tomorrow you claim what is

rightfully yours.
[Bane drops the mike, turns, and leaves the playing field]

Alfred: If you're seriously considering going back out there, you should hear the rumors surrounding Bane.
Bruce Wayne: I'm all ears.
Alfred: There is a prison in a more ancient part of the world, a pit where men are thrown to suffer and die. But sometimes a man rises from the darkness. Sometimes the pit sends something back.

Bruce Wayne: Bane.
Alfred: Right. Born and raised in hell on earth.
Bruce Wayne: Born in prison?
Alfred: No one knows why or how he escaped, but they do know that once he did he was trained by Ra's Al Ghul, your mentor.
Bruce Wayne: Bane was a member of The League of Shadows.

Alfred: And then he was excommunicated. And any man who is too extreme for Ra's Al Ghul is not to be trifled with.

[Bane's men announce their entry into the stock exchange, as the food delivery man shoots down a trader, while the shoeshiner and janitor fire their guns into the trading screen. As the screens shut off, Bane comes in and walks over to one trader]
Trader #1: This is a stock exchange! There's no money you can steal!
Bane: Really? Then why are you

people here?
[Bane drags the trader by his tie across the floor to a computer terminal, slams his head against the table, and uses his security card to log-in and start the application on the shoeshiner's laptop]

Batman: [Hands over device] This blocks the remote detonator signal to the bomb. Get it onto it before sunrise. They might hit the button when it starts.

[She cracks his arm, knocking the apple into her hand. The boy watches as she knocks

both thugs out]
Selina Kyle: Never steal anything from someone you can't outrun, kid.
[takes a bite out of the apple, and tosses it to the kid, who takes it and runs off]
