Thank heaven you're alive.
179
00:17:07,443 --> 00:17:10,613
Impossible.
You could not have survived the fall.
180
00:17:10,905 --> 00:17:13,824
We humans are more resilient
than you give us credit for.
181
00:17:16,702 --> 00:17:18,204
- (ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
- (GROANS)
182
00:17:18,746 --> 00:17:19,830
Alfred!
183
00:17:23,751 --> 00:17:26,003
Never mind me.
Stop the computer!
184
00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:28,506
You cannot prevent the
inevitable, Batman.
185
00:17:28,589 --> 00:17:30,675
HARDAC is reborn.
186
00:17:34,178 --> 00:17:35,263
(BATMAN YELLS)
187
00:17:39,433 --> 00:17:42,019
In the very image of the
man who destroyed him.
188
00:17:50,611 --> 00:17:52,822
I know all your moves, Batman.
189
00:17:53,489 --> 00:17:55,032
So why don't you finish me off?
190
00:17:55,408 --> 00:17:59,453
Or have you become enough like me
to know that I won't take a life?
191
00:18:05,501 --> 00:18:09,672
I saw you risk your own life to
save Rossum in the greenhouse.
192
00:18:34,447 --> 00:18:37,074
You knew I'd be able
to dodge that in time.
193
00:18:38,659 --> 00:18:42,079
I suspect you not only won't
kill, you can't.
194
00:18:42,246 --> 00:18:44,999
That's why you didn't finish
me off at the warehouse.
195
00:18:45,082 --> 00:18:48,669
Impossible.
I am programmed to serve HARDAC.
196
00:19:18,199 --> 00:19:19,408
(BEEPING)
197
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:26,248
(CLANGS)
198
00:19:29,126 --> 00:19:33,089
Why do you resist?
HARDAC's goals are identical to your own.
199
00:19:33,381 --> 00:19:34,965
How do you figure that?
200
00:19:37,343 --> 00:19:40,846
Picture a world
completely free of crime,
201
00:19:40,930 --> 00:19:44,016
free of suffering,
free of frailty.
202
00:19:44,558 --> 00:19:49,105
BATMAN: You mean free of choice?
Compassion? Free of humanity?
203
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:50,272
Yes.
204
00:19:59,115 --> 00:20:00,991
You can't do it.
205
00:20:01,075 --> 00:20:02,827
HARDAC built you well.
206
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:08,082
Perhaps even better than
he could have imagined.
207
00:20:12,795 --> 00:20:14,088
(SCREAMING)
208
00:20:17,842 --> 00:20:19,719
No!
209
00:20:20,469 --> 00:20:22,179
I've taken a life.
210
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:27,560
I've killed a man.
211
00:20:36,485 --> 00:20:40,865
My city, my people.
What have I done?
212
00:20:41,157 --> 00:20:42,366
(YELLING)
213
00:21:05,473 --> 00:21:06,724
Master Bruce?
214
00:21:23,032 --> 00:21:24,784
Thank heaven you're alive.
215
00:21:26,786 --> 00:21:30,498
It would appear, sir,
that it preferred to sacrifice itself,
216
00:21:30,581 --> 00:21:33,959
rather than allow innocent
lives to come to harm.
217
00:21:34,168 --> 00:21:35,544
Somewhat like you.
218
00:21:36,003 --> 00:21:39,340
BATMAN: It seems it was more than
wires and microchips after all.
219
00:21:39,423 --> 00:21:41,509
Could it be it had a
soul, Alfred?
220
00:21:41,592 --> 00:21:43,469
A soul of silicon,
221
00:21:44,345 --> 00:21:46,305
but a soul nonetheless.
222
00:21:52,728 --> 00:21:54,730
