[Theo Galavan talks to the tied up Detective Gordon]

Theo Galavan:
My, my. What a difference a day brings. Here, you're the prisoner and I'm free. Fortune's wheel. Turn, turn. These cops? Good men who can tell which way the wind is blowing. Now, we have a very small window. I have places to be, you have to die, but I know you must have questions, so...

James Gordon:
The monks. They... work for you?

Theo Galavan:
For centuries, the order of Dumas has protected my family. They have been a light in a dark world. Shall I tell you a secret? Theo Galavan is a mask. My name is Dumas, and my family built this city out of nothing. But we were betrayed, driven out, erased.

James Gordon:
So, that's all this is about? Revenge.

Theo Galavan:
No. This is about atonement. The ground that Gotham is built on is poisoned by the wrongs done to my forefathers. I will change that.

James Gordon:
By killing nine random people? You're insane.

Theo Galavan:
[Galavan laughs] I can see why you'd think so. Ritual blood sacrifices, bunch of guys in robes, chanting prophesies. It's a bit, too... But belief itself - That's what matters, Detective. Belief gives strength, purpose.
