you're tall enough to reach now?

Old habits die hard, l guess.

- Never used to stop us anyway.

- No, it didn't.

How's your mom?

She misses this place.

So do l.

Yeah.

But it's nothing without the people

who made it what it was.

- Now there's only Alfred.

- And you.

- l'm not staying, Rachel.

- You're just back for the hearing.

Bruce, l don't suppose there's any way

to convince you not to come.

Someone at this proceeding...

...should stand for my parents.

We all loved your parents, Bruce.

- What Chill did is unforgivable.

- Then why is your boss letting him go?

ln prison, he shared a cell

with Carmine Falcone.

He learned things, and he will testify

in exchange for early parole.

Rachel, this man killed my parents.

l cannot let that pass.

And l need you

to understand that, please.

Okay.

The depression hit working

people, like Mr. Chill, hardest of all.

His crime was appalling, yes,

but it was motivated not by greed...

...but by desperation.

Given the 14 years served, as well as

his extraordinary level of cooperation...

...with one of this office's

most important investigations...

...we strongly endorse his petition

for early release.

Mr. Chill?

Your Honor...

...not a day goes by that l don't wish

l could take back what l did.

Sure, l was desperate,

like a lot of people back then...

...but that don't change what l did.

l gather there is a member

of the Wayne family here today.

Has he got anything to say?

Joe! Hey, Joe!

Falcone says hi.

Come on, Bruce.

We don't need to see this.

l do.

The DA couldn't understand

why Judge Faden insisted...

...on making the hearing public.

Falcone paid him off

to get Chill out in the open.

Maybe l should thank them.

- You don't mean that.

- What if l do, Rachel?

My parents deserved justice.

You're not talking about justice.

You're talking about revenge.

- Sometimes, they're the same.

- No, they're never the same.

Justice is about harmony. Revenge is

about you making yourself feel better.

- lt's why we have an impartial system.

- Your system is broken.

You care about justice?

Look beyond your own pain, Bruce.

This city is rotting.

They talk about the depression

as if it's history. lt's not.

Things are worse than ever here.

Falcone floods our streets

with crime and drugs...

...preying on the desperate,

creating new Joe Chills every day.

Falcone may not have killed

your parents, Bruce...

...but he's destroying everything

that they stood for.

You wanna thank him for that?

Here you go.

We all know where to find him.

As long as he keeps the bad people rich...

...and the good people scared,

no one'll touch him.

Good people like your parents, who'll
