Recap / Gotham S1 E9 "Harvey Dent"

Go To

Directed by Karen Gaviola

Written by Ken Woodruff

Cat is staying at Wayne Manor while Gordon meets with Harvey Dent to hunt down the man who really killed the Waynes. Meanwhile, a genius bomb maker gets broken out of Blackgate custody.


Tropes:

  • Boxed Crook: Of a different variety. Hargrave was kidnapped by crooks and forced to work for them.
  • Crazy-Prepared: Along with the boxing, Bruce also trains himself by holding his breath. At the bottom of the swimming pool.
  • Incredibly Obvious Bomb: The one Hargrave made for the Russians included a ticking clock. In a gift basket.
  • The Mafiya: The men who broke Hargrave out speak with thick Russian (or at least Eastern European) accents.
  • The Mole: Hargrave, genius bomb-maker though he is, isn't a killer and is an unwilling accomplice to the men who broke him out, so he does what he can to slip clues to the police in his bombs.
  • Red Herring: On being brought out of the prison and placed in the transport van, Hargrove drops a book of matches into his hand. Then, instead of bombing his way out, a group of mysterious gunmen break him out.
  • Shipped in Shackles: Hargave is shipped in shackles when he is being transported from Blackgate to St. Mark's Psychiatric Hospital.
