蝙蝠侠：元年 Batman: Year One Movie Script

DOCTOR HOLCOMB:

I'm not sure you can, not alive anyway. I've read the files you sent over. They describe a man who inhabits a delusional world of great danger and violence.

我不确定你能不能，反正你还活着。我已经看过你寄来的文件了。他们描述了一个生活在极度危险和暴力的妄想世界中的人。

GORDON:

Danger and violence. Sounds about right for the East End.

危险和暴力。听起来是去东区的。

DOCTOR HOLCOMB:

Ah, but this mind inhabits a world more horrible than the East End.

A world so threatening and dangerous that it's had to create a new persona, a new IDENTITY to cope.

GORDON:

This guy's become a demon in order to fight his demons.

DOCTOR HOLCOMB:

Exactly. Now, normally this kind of delusion represents the terminal stage of a suicidal psychosis.

GORDON:

He's trying to kill himself?

DOCTOR HOLCOMB:

Yes and no. Something is keeping it going. A quest or a mission of some sort. Much like the crusaders in ancient Europe who were capable of great feats by virtue of their belief or faith.

GORDON:

You mean flying? X-ray vision?

DOCTOR HOLCOMB:

Nothing like that I assure you.

More like mothers lifting cars off children during emergencies. Or even monks and Yogis who's faith allows them to do incredible things with their bodies.

GORDON:

So how do I catch him before his faith does any more "great feats" to the citizens of this city?

DOCTOR HOLCOMB:

I'm afraid that's your problem Detective. My job is knowing what makes them thick, not what makes them run. I will tell you this though, that mind is starting to enjoy its work. It's capable of anything.

GORDON:

Come on doctor, what do I DQ? How do I stop him before he kills someone?

DOCTOR HOLCOMB:

I suppose you strike at the weaknesses. What is this great delusion protecting? It didn't just come into being over night. It started long ago with a young boy being terribly, terribly hurt.

GORDON:

Huh. Interesting. Thank you doctor.

GORDON stands to go.

EXT. ARKHAM ASYLUM, PARKING LOT - MOMENTS LATER GORDON, lost in thought, digs for his keys. He's startled by JANET SELLING.

JANET SELLING:

Detective Gordon, Detective Gordon.

Wait up a second. JANET SELLING, Channel One News. Can I have a word with you?

GORDON:

Sorry, I'm in a rush here.

JANET SELLING:

It'll only take a second. I want to ask about allegations of corruption in the precinct. I'm hoping you'll corroborate some of the rumors I've been hearing.

GORDON:

I really AM in a hurry.

JANET SELLING:

A hurry to what, chase a mental case? Doesn't it ANGER you that you've been put out to pasture while all through the department corruption is running rampant.

GORDON SPINS on her, furious. Then catches himself and smiles. SHE GOT HIM.
