We went over this, Penny. You adopted him. We have all the paperwork right here. That's not true. Thomas had that all made up, so it stayed our secret. You also stood by while one of your boyfriends repeatedly abused your adopted son and battered you. Penny, your son was found tied to a radiator in your filthy apartment. Malnourished with multiple bruises across his body and severe trauma to his head. I never heard him cry. He's always been such a happy little boy.

And I could never tell anyone because... Well, I signed some papers. And besides, you can imagine what people would say about Thomas and me. What they'd say about you. What would they say, Mom?

Hey. Man, I'm sorry about that, my man. All records 10 years or older, they store in the basement, and you're talking about something 30 years ago, so... Can I ask you a question? Sure. How does someone wind up in here? Have they all, all the people committed crimes? Well, yeah, some have. You know, some are just crazy. Pose dangers to themselves and others. Some just got nowhere else to go. Don't know what to do, you know? - Yeah. I hear you, brother. - Hmm. Sometimes, I don't know what to do. Last time, I ended up taking it out on some people. I thought it was gonna bother me, but it really hasn't. What's that? I fucked up and did some bad shit.

Who is this? Oh, hi, this is Shirley Woods. I'm the show booker from Live with Murray Franklin. Is this Arthur? Yes. Hi, Arthur. Well, as I was saying, we've gotten a lot of calls about your clip. Amazing responses. And Murray asked if I would reach out to you to see if you would come on as his guest.

This message is for Arthur Fleck. My name is Shirley Woods. I work on The Murray Franklin Show. I don't know if you're aware, but Murray played a clip of your stand-up on the show recently, and we have gotten an amazing response from our viewers. Murray asked me to give you a call and see if you're...

Hello, Mr. Fleck. This is Detective Garrity. We met the other night at Gotham General. My partner and I had a few more questions for you. We stopped by your apartment today, but you weren't home. Please give me a call when you get this message. Again, Detective Garrity, and my number is 212... 99.

Look at us. I think you are. Well, that's impossible because you're adopted, and I never slept with your mother. - I wasn't adopted. - What do you want from me? - Money? - No, I don't... I wasn't adopted. Jesus. She never told you? Told me what? Your mother adopted you while she was working for us. That's not true. Why are you saying that? Then she was arrested and committed to Arkham State Hospital, when you were just a little boy. Why are you saying this? I don't need you to tell me lies. I know it seems strange. I don't mean to make you uncomfortable. I don't know why everyone is so rude. I don't know why you are. I don't want anything from you. Maybe a little bit of warmth, maybe a hug, Dad! How about just a little bit of fucking decency? What is it with you people? You say that stuff about my mother. She's crazy. She's... You think this is funny? Dad, it's me. Come on. Touch my son again, I'll fucking kill you.

Can I help you, pal? I don't know what to say. Do you want an autograph or something? No. My name is Arthur. Penny Fleck is my mother. Jesus. You're the guy that came to my house yesterday. Yes. I'm sorry I just showed up. But my mother told me everything, and I had to talk to you. Look, pal, I'm not your father. What's wrong with you?

As tensions mount around the metro area, Mayor Stokes has pleaded for cooler heads to prevail. City services have been affected, and some businesses have decided to remain closed amid the unrest. Chuck Stevens filed this report. The anger and resentment that's been building in the city for weeks seems close to exploding. Protesters, many dressed as clowns, took to the streets today in one of several planned demonstrations taking on the city's elite, including a massive rally outside tomorrow night's benefit at Wayne Hall. What's the point of all this? - the rich. - Thomas Wayne. That's what this whole thing is about. the whole system. Wayne, who recently announced he is running for mayor, will be attending the benefit. You might remember it was Thomas Wayne who first referred to many of Gotham's residents as "clowns." Today, he offered little in the way of an apology. Well, what I will say is, there's something wrong with those people. I am here to help them. I'm gonna lift them out of poverty, help make their lives better. That is why I'm running. And they may not realize it, but I'm their only hope.

Hey, one more. One more, Bobby. All right, let's see one more. I love this guy. It's funny, when I was a little boy and told people I was gonna be a comedian, everyone laughed at me. Well, no one's laughing now.
