Bob Hastings: Commissioner Gordon

P.O.V.

Commissioner Gordon

Investigator Hackle: When I'm done with you clowns, you won't qualify as security guards! The department works months to nail that drug lord. We lay out two million in cash for the sting. And in five stinking minutes, you idiots blow it!
Det. Harvey Bullock: Hey, I didn't blow anything!
Investigator Hackle: Well, one of you did! Or maybe what we've got here is three cops on the take.
Commissioner James Gordon: That's uncalled for.
Officer Renée Montoya: What? you can't be serious.
Det. Harvey Bullock: Where does he get off? Hey, I'll tell ya who's to blame. Batman!
Officer Wilkes: You saw the Batman too?
Officer Renée Montoya: Come on, Harvey, Batman's fault?
Investigator Hackle: Then whose fault is it, officer?
Officer Renée Montoya: I don't know, but I'm sure it wasn't Batman. He was...
Investigator Hackle: Either you start coming up with answers or hand over your badges.
Det. Harvey Bullock: I'm telling you, lieutenant, Batman blew the bust! Montoya and Wilkes were late so I had to go in alone!
Officer Renée Montoya: Que cara! We weren't late!

Investigator Hackle: So you went in because of Batman?
Det. Harvey Bullock: I told you. They were late.
Investigator Hackle: Were you trying to beat them out of the collar, or beat them to the cash?
Commissioner James Gordon: Ease up, lieutenant.
Investigator Hackle: No. You back off, commissioner! Gordon, this is my investigation, so pipe down or get out! He knows they were supposed to go in as a team! Bullock, I demand to know the real reason you didn't wait for the rest of your team.
[Bullock rolls his eyes]
Investigator Hackle: Bullock!
Det. Harvey Bullock: Give me a break. Why don't ya ask them why they were late?

Investigator Hackle: [Hearing Wilk's side of the story] What did he say?
Officer Wilkes: I couldn't hear. But the guy looked plenty scared and blurted out "Doc" something.
Investigator Hackle: Doc who?
Officer Wilkes: I don't know. He just said "Doc".
Commissioner James Gordon: We're interrogating the suspect now, but it doesn't look like he'll crack.
Investigator Hackle: Well I think the rookie's holding something back!
Officer Renée Montoya: Take it easy! He told you everything he knows!
Investigator Hackle: How touching. I hope you're as good at defending yourself since the detective here is calling you a liar!
Commissioner James Gordon: Wait a minute. Nobody is calling anyone a liar. There's obviously a communication problem here. But my officers are not liars.
Investigator Hackle: Well, someone in here is lying.
Commissioner James Gordon: Why don't you reserve judgement until you've heard what officer Montoya has to say.
Investigator Hackle: Alright, let's have your version.
Officer Renée Montoya: Like I said before, we got there on time. Bullock was down. He said there was still suspects inside, so I entered.

Commissioner James Gordon: I gotta hand it to you, Montoya. You and Batman really turned this thing around.
Officer Wilkes: Yeah, that was some collar. You put the whole gang away.
Investigator Hackle: What collar? She's suspended!
Commissioner James Gordon: [Grabbing Hackle] This farce has gone far enough, Hackle! We've nailed the suspects and recovered our money! The investigation is closed!
[Gets the officers' badges and pushes Hackle away]
Commissioner James Gordon: Officer Montoya earned this collar.
Officer Renée Montoya: The collar belongs to all three of us. It was a team effort.
Officer Wilkes: Gee, thanks partner.
Det. Harvey Bullock: [mumbles under his breath]
Officer Renée Montoya: What was that, Bullock?
Det. Harvey Bullock: I said... thanks a lot, Montoya.
