No, you don't understand.

One fundraiser with my pals...

You'll never need another cent

(METAL DETECTOR BEEPS)

The hell is this?

As you're all aware
one of our deposits was stolen.

A relatively small amount.

68 million.

Who's stupid enough to steal from us?

Two-bit whack job.
Wears a cheap purple suit and make-up.

He's not a problem, he's a nobody

The problem is our money
being tracked by the cops

(Lau) Thanks to Mr Maroni's 
well-placed sources

(Lau) we know that police have indeed 
identified our banks using marked bills

(Lau) and are planning to 
seize your funds today.

(Lau) And since the enthusiastic new D.A
has put all my competitors out of business

(Lau) I'm your only option.

So what are you proposing?

(Lau) Moving all deposits 
to one secure location.

(Lau) Not a bank.

Where then?

(Lau) No one can know but me.

(Lau) If the police were to gain leverage
over one of you

(Lau) everyone's money would be at stake.

What stops them getting to you?

(Lau) I go to Hong Kong.
Far from Dent's jurisdiction.

(Lau) And the Chinese will not extradite
one of their own

How soon can you move the money?

(Lau) I already have.

For obvious reasons,
I couldn't wait for your permission.

(Lau) Rest assured. Your money is safe.

(SARCASTIC LAUGHTER)

I thought my jokes were bad...

Give me one reason why I shouldn't

have my boy here pull your head off.

How about a magic trick?

I'm gonna make this pencil disappear.

Ta-da!

It's gone.

(Joker) Oh, and by the way, the suit?
It wasn't cheap.

You ought to know, you bought it.

Sit!

I want to hear proposition.

Let's wind the clocks back a year.

These cops and lawyers wouldn't dare
cross any of you.

I mean...

What happened?
Your... your balls drop off?

Hmm?

You- you see a guy like me.

A freak.

(LAUGHTER AND MURMERING)

Guy like me...

Look. Listen.

I know why you choose to have
your little... (coughs)

group therapy sessions in broad daylight.

I know why you're afraid to go 
out at night.

The Batman.

You see Batman has shown Gotham
your true colours, unfortunately.

Dent? He's just the beginning.

And as for the television's so-called plan
Batman has no jurisdiction.

He'll find him and make him squeal.

I know the squealers when I see them,
and...

What do you propose?

It's simple.
We kill The Batman.

(LAUGHTER)

If it's so simple
why haven't you done it already?

If you're good at something
never do it for free.

How much you want?

Ahh... half.

(LAUGHTER)

(You're crazy)

I'm not.

No, I'm not.

If we don't deal with this, now.

Soon

little

Gambol here won't be able to get 
a nickel for his grandma.

(SLAMS TABLE)

Enough from the clown!

Ah ta ta ta ta!

Let's not blow...

(gang) shit!

...this out of proportion.

You think you could steal from us
and just walk away?

Yeah.

I'm putting the word out.

5 hundred grand for this clown, dead.
A million alive, so I can teach him

some manners first.

Alright. So, listen.

Why don't you give me a call
when you want to start taking things

a little more seriously?

Here's my card.
