CLASSIFIED 03: BODYCAM

(GCN music)

VICKI VALE: This is a GCN Special Report. I’m Vicki Vale.

JACK RYDER: And I’m Jack Ryder. Two explosions rocked Gotham City’s East Side last night, as the Monarch Card Factory and the ACE Chemicals Plant were attacked by an as-of-yet unknown assailant. Details are sketchy at the moment, but eyewitnesses report seeing notorious criminal The Joker on the scene. The GCPD reports that despite the size of the blast, there were no...

CLASSIFIED 02: INTERVIEW

GORDON: Alright Harvey. Let’s start with why you’re here.

HARVEY: It ain’t as safe as it used to be. (coin flip)

GORDON: And whose fault is that?

HARVEY: If I knew, I wouldn’t be here.

GORDON: Do you know about the murders?

HARVEY: Heard about ‘em. Clock King. Bookworm. Cavalier.

GORDON: Ahh, but Cavalier survived.

HARVEY: That a fact?

GORDON: You know the MO? 

HARVEY: Maybe.  2017-10-29 14:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Dr. Jonathan Crane, MD - Entry 015

CRANE: ENTRY 015

CRANE: Disconcerting. It would seem that I have been beaten to the punch. Police are unconscious. Alive, but out. Dammit. Who would want to get the drop on – oof!

CRANE and JOKER: How did you – I didn’t – where’s Edward/where’s Eddie? – what?

CRANE: What are you doing here?

JOKER: What are YOU doing here?

CRANE: Trying to save a man’s life.

JOKER: Well then. We have similar goals. 

CRANE: I find that ver...

Dr. Jonathan Crane, MD - Entry 014

CRANE: ENTRY 014

CRANE: This isn’t fair. I don’t know why I was expecting it to be, but this isn’t fair. This riddle clearly has two answers. Ace Chemicals, or the Monarch Playing Card Factory. I – mm. I can’t choose one over the other. They both have compelling arguments. As much as I have been warned against it, I’m afraid I have to put it to a vote again. Now the only saving grace here is that these two buildings are across the street from each other; it should ...

TRS - Casefile #0135a (Salt)

???: Mr. Nygma. You have very spirited friends. 

EDWARD: I can’t imagine who they get that from. 

???: Amusing, Mr. Nygma. But I wonder if they know that words can carry consequences. Perhaps they need to be reminded of this.

EDWARD: Oh, I’m sure they’re aware. 

???: Now now, Mr. Nygma. We need to be sure of this. How else will they learn? Our actions today are for the betterment of mankind. Of science. ...

(club noise)

SALVATORE: So then I says, “if he’s so tough, why ain’t he got a head no more, huh?” (laughs)

(female laughter)

SALVATORE: Who’s this clown?

CRANE: You got the wrong Rogue, round boy. 

SALVATORE: Ladies – give us the room, huh?

CRANE: Evenin’ ladies.

SALVATORE: You must be Jonathan Crane.

CRANE: I see I was expected.

SALVATORE: Might have been. We might have been told y...

CRANE: ENTRY 012

CRANE: I found another recording behind Draper’s ‘The Lament for Icarus’. 

???: Do you think yourself a god, Dr. Crane? Do you not bleed? Edward does. Verbal scars can pierce the flesh, and then the salt will burn. Choose your words wisely, Crow. The next riddle will be yours at 12:01AM, on October 23rd. 

CRANE: Were I not absolutely sure of it, I would assume we’re being warned about getting too big for our britches. I suggest a ...

CRANE: ENTRY 011

CRANE: (wheezing) Well, this is – admittedly – not the way I wanted it to end. (coughing) (dinging noise) Worth a shot. One. Eight. Two. Zero. (rumbling of a door opening) Thank you – I think it’s time to get home. (coughing) Thank you. Everyone. Of all the nights to not bring my damn mask…

Dr. Jonathan Crane, MD - Entry 010

CRANE: ENTRY 010

(creaking floorboards as he walks)

CRANE: Anybody home? Hello? If you’re trying to intimidate me, you will have to try much, much harder than that. You there. No sudden movements, now. We need to have a few words. I think it’s time to shed a little light on our subject. 

(light clicks on)

CRANE: Oh, no – oh no. Bookworm. (sighs) The books are here. So is the next riddle. I’ll bring it back to my office and – (locking mechanisms...

(beeping of a phone number being dialed; ringing; picks up)

LIBRARIAN: Gotham City Public Library.

CRANE: Well hello there. I was wondering if I could inquire as to the whereabouts of a few titles in your possession. 

LIBRARIAN: I’m sorry sir, but there was a fire here today and we’re about to close.

CRANE: It won’t take a moment, I assure you. 

LIBRARIAN: Okay, uh… what are you looking for?

CRANE: The Wind...

Dr. Jonathan Crane, MD - Entry 008

ENTRY: CRANE 008  

CRANE: I don’t know how much safer I feel in the light. But one must adhere to the posted hours of the Public Library. Now these books are all of a similar genre, so they should be in the Fiction section.

JERVIS TETCH: I – I must make them go away. Away with the riddles, shoo! Shoo!

CRANE: Jervis Tetch.

TETCH: Crane! The riddle solver! Bad! You bring very bad things!

CRANE: What on Earth are you doing?

TETCH: You answer...

CRANE: Well here we are. Cavalier Shipping Depot.

STRANGER: Excuse me. Can I help you with somethin’?

CRANE: Now I just have to get inside…

STRANGER: Hey. Buddy. What are you doin’ here?

CRANE: Good evening sir! Wonderful night, tonight… moon shining over the Basin.

STRANGER: Yeah yeah, it’s fuckin’ great. Hey, you ain’t s’posed to be here, pal.

CRANE: Well, I need to get to one of those trucks in ther...

Dr. Jonathan Crane, MD - Entry 006

ENTRY: CRANE 006

CRANE: Above all else, I am no Riddler. I have often found riddles a waste of a sane man’s time. However, with no alternatives, I’m forced to wade through the mind of Edward Nygma and his insufferable games. Even though it appears that his hand is being forced by an as of yet unknown assailant. But I know Nygma’s pretentious nature, and this riddle is for lack of a better word, riddled with it. If you stood behind Charles the First and possessed a severe...

BULLOCK: Yo, Rieger. Bag this, get it outta here. 

GORDON: Ah, what a damn mess.

BULLOCK: Runnin’ ballistics. Examiner’s “caught in traffic”.

GORDON: I ordered the signal up.

BULLOCK: Ah, speak of the devil.

GORDON: Clock King. Four shots, all in the chest. 

BATMAN: Time of death? 

GORDON: We’re waiting on the examiner. You think this was Crane? 

BATMAN: Not his MO. Any...

ENTRY: CRANE 005

CRANE: I have returned from the Monarch Theatre. This was waiting for me in the box office.

???: Say it, Edward. Just like we rehearsed.

EDWARD: (breathing heavily) Strike one…

???: You’re going to have to try harder than that, Dr. Crane. 

CRANE: Suffice it to say, I am disheartened. But we can’t let this shake our resolve. We will get Edward back.

The first riddle: A clock with butterfly's wings, reading "FI...

ENTRY: CRANE 004

A sincere thank you to those who alerted me as to the presence of the police outside my abode. I can only assume they’re waiting at my office at Arkham as well, and while the plan to expose Basil Karlo went off without a hitch, I am now left without a base of operations and must rely on mobile equipment until I can safely find an area in which to work.

Two things concern me further: The first being that I have been noticed already, thus eliminating any...

Dr. Jonathan Crane, MD - Entry 003

ENTRY: CRANE 003

Something is wrong here. Very troubling. Has anyone noticed that Edward Nygma’s latest posts are a little… on the nose? The man has an acerbic personality at the best of times, but there is something amiss, namely in the matters of the gray. 

To be frank, if his brains were dynamite, he couldn’t blow his nose.

That’s Karlo – it has to be, but we need to hear it from the horse’s mouth. I suggest someone… poke the bear a little. Ka...

ENTRY: CRANE 002

There are several methods one could utilize when introducing a weaponized toxin to a human subject. Today we will disregard the use of solid forms as this method would not be effective in combat scenarios. Because toxin directly affects the brain, inhalation would be the most efficient way to utilize toxin, however, I worry that too many people anticipate this method of administration and as such prepare accordingly, rendering the toxin ineffective. This leave...

While often considered irrational, fear is a necessity in order to survive. However, to control fear, one must first understand fear. Webster’s Dictionary describes fear as ‘a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, et cetera, whether the threat is real or imagined’. This is not to be confused with anxiety. It’s believed that we possess only two innate fears: Loud noises and falling, both of which are essential to our well-being. T...

It’s your good friend the Riddler here again, and contrary to what people have been saying, I am in fact me. I mean, honestly. You have one bad day and people start saying things like, “get your head scanned”, or “who are you really”, or “why are you so amazing all the time”. So – ...
