S01E07 - Good evening, Midnight

Stand-off all afternoon, okay,

GNN has a live feed
from the scene.

Greg, what's the latest?

I'm at the Gotham City Bridge
where a school bus

full of children dangles
precariously over the edge.

The bus went out of control
when a scrimmage broke out

between the driver
and the escaped inmate

who had commandeered the bus.

The bus driver and one of
the children have been k*lled.

Commissioner Gordon, the police,

and a special SWAT team
are in place,

but are hesitant to move

because of the unstable
nature of the bus.

When asked about his plan,
Commissioner Gordon said,

"The children
are our first concern."

Good evening, Midnight.

To my Son - Bruce Wayne

"Dear Bruce,

I've just left you
sleeping in your bed,

yet I cling to you still,
if but in memory.

The snow lies heavy
against Wayne Manor.

It is so very quiet.

I hear you still inside me,
your laugh.

From the first moment I saw you,

your joy has infected me.

It has changed me, for you see,

I was also born that day
when you arrived.

I ran through the snow
to find you, calm and waiting.

Already, you were the teacher
and I was beginning to learn.

Before you were born,
I was a man convinced

life was meant to be conquered,

and I spent every minute
of my life in pursuit of that.

I was determined.

I was determined
to conquer every disease,

vanquish every hatred,

put a torch to every darkness.

I was obsessed as I hope
you will never be.

I want better for you.

Today we celebrated
your third birthday.

You've grown so much, my son.

I remember you taking
your first steps.

Courageous.

Fearless.

Resourceful in the face
of great odds.

I think of the coming days

as I watch you grow to be a man

when I can speak
to you of such things.

The love of children,

the needs of a balance.

Disease will be conquered
and hate will be vanquished.

What you have taught me,
I will teach to you.

They'll always be a light
to keep us from the dark.

Your loving father,
Thomas."
