The Dark Knight (2008) (1/11) | Opening scene Bank Heist-Joker
Storyline
Set within a year after the events of Batman Begins (2005), Batman, Lieutenant James Gordon, and new District Attorney Harvey Dent successfully begin to round up the criminals that plague Gotham City, until a mysterious and sadistic criminal mastermind known only as "The Joker" appears in Gotham, creating a new wave of chaos. Batman's struggle against The Joker becomes deeply personal, forcing him to "confront everything he believes" and improve his technology to stop him. A love triangle develops between Bruce Wayne, Dent, and Rachel Dawes.
That's it? Three guys?
Three of a kind, let's do this.
Two guys on the roof.
Every guy gets a share. Five shares is plenty.
Six shares.
Don't forget the guy who planned the job.
He thinks he can sit it out
and still take a slice.
Why do they call him the Joker?
I heard he wears makeup.
Makeup?
Yeah, to scare people.
You know, war paint.
All right, everybody,
hands up, heads down!
I said, hands up, heads down!
Let's go, pal,
I'm making a withdrawal here.
-I said, hands up!
-No!
Here comes the silent alarm.
And there it goes.
Heads down!
All right, tootsie,
you're taking a dive with me.
-Down! I said, stay down there!
Don't hurt me!
Funny, it didn't dial 911.
It was trying to reach a private number.
Is it a problem?
No, I'm done here.
Sit down! Down!
Down! I said, stay down there!
Obviously we don't want you
doing anything with your hands...
...other than holding on for dear life.
On the ground! Stay on the ground!
Nobody make a move!
Nobody! Stay down!
Yeah!
You have any idea
who you're stealing from?
He's out, right?
What--?
Where did you learn to count?
They wired this thing up with like
5000 volts. What kind of bank does that?
A Mob bank.
I guess the Joker's as crazy as they say.
Where's the alarm guy?
Boss told me when the guy
was done, I should take him out.
One less share, right?
Funny, he told me something similar.
He what? No! No!
That's a lot of money.
If this Joker guy was so smart,
he'd have had us bring a bigger car.
I'm betting the Joker told you to kill me
soon as we loaded the cash.
No, no, no, I kill the bus driver.
Bus driver?
What bus driver?
School's out. Time to go.
That guy's not getting up, is he?
That's a lot of money.
What happened to the rest of the guys?
You think you're smart, huh?
The guy that hired youse...
...he'll just do the same to you.
Oh, criminals in this town
used to believe in things.
Honor...
...respect.
Look at you.
What do you believe in, huh?
What do you believe in?!
I believe whatever doesn't kill you
simply makes you...
...stranger.
