LOCATION: UNION STATION , Los Angeles CA
In-Movie location: Seemingly the new court house of Gotham City. The giant hall is filled with ex-con mobsters who were involved with the prison break scenes filmed last Friday at the Sybil Brand Correctional Facility (Black Gate Prison), Bane's mercaneries, thugs and upper class men and women called "upscalers". There is a giant heap of random desks, drawers, tables, fax machines, and other large rummage stacked on top of one another at one side of the room creating this ridiculously towering Judge's podium. Paper and debris scattered everywhere. Here is the layout of the room in picture to reference scene description.
-Bane's Mercs drag a man dressed in a black suit to the accused's chair as Mob and Thugs are causing a rukus jeering him. This man is identified by the name of Phillip Striver.
Dialog:
Striver: "This is a mistake."
Judge: "No, there is no mistake. You are Mr. Striver Vice President of Dagget Industries are you not?"
Striver: "Where is Bane? I want Bane, I don't deserve to be here I'm one of you"
Judge: "I'm sorry Mr. Striver, but Bane has no authority here. This is not a trial. You have already been found guilty. This is merely a hearing of your fate which I will allow you to choose"
Striver: "Guilty of What?!"
Judge: "You have been found guilty of getting rich off the blood, sweat and hard work of those less powerful than you while contributing nothing and throwing your own to the wolves"
"So what will it be Mr. Striver? Death or Exile"
Crowd breaks into a Death chant, then silences as gavel is pounded.
(Striver thinks it over in his chair before making his decision)
With a hard gulp and beaten voice Striver replies: "Exile"
Judge Slams gavel "Sold to the man with cold sweat running down his forehead." (Crowd goes wild laughing as Mr. Striver does not know what he's gotten himself into.)
Bane's mercs drag Striver out of the room through an exit by the Judge's podium.
Next set of scenes filmed were with the people labeled "upscalers" who looked like politicians and corrupt beaureucrats. This will be a montage scene with just the judge giving the verdicts to each and the crowd reacting accordingly.
NEXT BIG SCENE:
Courtroom different day:
Jim Gordon, Miranda Tate, and several of Gordon's cops are forced at gunpoint into the courtroom through separate entrances as the Judge announces his arrival the crowd goes crazy with excitement as they approach the accused's chair. Miranda Tate has an odd look of bewilderment upon her face.
Judge: "You've been found guilty of Espionage and attempted sabotage, and let me remind you
this is not a trial, merely a platform for you to choose your fate. Death or Exile?"
Gordon: "No lawyers, No witnesses, what kind of due process is this *Judge's Name*?"
Judge:" More than what Harvey Dent gave to these men in this courtroom today."
Judge:"So what will it be Jim? Death or Exile"
Gordon with an obvious look of helplessness on his face.
"If you think we'll willingly walk the ice, you've got another thing coming,"
Judge: "So death then?"
Gordon: "It looks that way"
Judge: "Ok then, death by exile" Slams gavel.
Mercs carry Gordon and his men out of the Courtroom. Another mercenary rushes up the walkway and grabs Miranda Tate by the arm and drags her bag with him escorting her out the entrance she came through.
BIG SPOILERS
It appears that exile means walking a dangerous frozen river on the outskirts of Gotham. Which would coincide with the LA River scene filmed with Gordon and his men tip toeing awkwardly in the leaked video.
Oh P.S.
Judge's identity: JONATHAN F#CKIN CRANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cillian Murphy is back with a bang!
