:35:03
No.
:35:06
I'm no executioner.
:35:08
DUCARD: Your compassion is
a weakness your enemies will not share.
:35:12
That's why it's so important.
:35:14
It separates us from them.
:35:16
You want to fight criminals.
This man is a murderer.
:35:18
-This man should be tried.
DUCARD: By whom?
:35:20
Corrupt bureaucrats?
:35:22
Criminals mock society's laws.
:35:25
You know this better than most.
:35:28
RA'S A GHUL:
You cannot lead these men...
:35:30
...unless you are prepared to do
what is necessary to defeat evil.
:35:35
And where would I be leading
these men?
:35:38
Gotham.
:35:39
As Gotham's favored son...
:35:41
...you will be ideally placed
to strike at the heart of criminality.
:35:46
-How?
-Gotham's time has come.
:35:49
Like Constantinople or Rome before it...
:35:53
...the city has become a breeding ground
for suffering and injustice.
:35:57
It is beyond saving
and must be allowed to die.
:36:01
This is the most important function
of the League of Shadows.
:36:06
It is one we've performed for centuries.
:36:09
Gotham...
:36:11
...must be destroyed.
:36:17
You can't believe in this.
:36:19
Ra's al Ghul rescued us from
the darkest corners of our own hearts.
:36:23
What he asks in return is the courage
to do what is necessary.
:36:28
I will go back to Gotham
and I will fight men like this...
:36:31
...but I will not become an executioner.
:36:34
Bruce, please.
:36:35
For your own sake,
there is no turning back.
