00:13I've spent years crawling through the darkness of this city.
00:18Bleeding for people who will never know my name.
00:22Gotham doesn't care who saves it.
00:24It just keeps creating new monsters for me to fight alone.
00:28I looked at that kid and I saw everything I was trying to protect and everything I was
00:33afraid to lose.
00:35I told him to walk away because I knew what this life does to people.
00:39I've seen it destroy everyone who gets close.
00:42But they took him right out from under me while I was standing in a room making speeches
00:46about justice.
00:48Every night I sit in that cave and I watch you leave.
00:51And every night I wonder if tonight's the night you don't come back.
00:57You think keeping me out of this protects me, but all it does is leave me waiting in the
01:01dark, imagining the worst.
01:04I found the pattern you missed.
01:06I cracked a network you couldn't see.
01:09I'm not some helpless kid you pulled off the street anymore.
01:13You taught me what it means to stand for something, even when the whole world is burning around
01:18you.
01:21I offered you a seat at the table because I respect what you are, but you chose to be
01:25a martyr instead of a visionary.
01:28And then you made the one mistake I was waiting for.
01:32You let someone matter to you.
01:35You gave yourself a weakness with a heartbeat.
01:38I don't need to destroy you anymore.
01:41I just need to break the boy and you'll destroy yourself.
