Gotham, Season 4

Sofia Falcone:
How many cops died under the Pax Penguina? Not one. It was you who couldn't stomach it. It was you who came to the Falcones for help. There is a direct line from your decision to a dozen police officers who have been brutally murdered.

Jim Gordon:
You're insane. Why not just kill me?

Sofia Falcone:
Because, Jim, I need you at the head of the GCPD. I need...

Jim Gordon:
Someone you can control. You've been planning this since the day we met. This isn't about Gotham. This is revenge for me killing Mario.

Sofia Falcone:
You wanna arrest me? Arrest me. But I'll talk. The cops that died, the friend that you betrayed, will all have been for nothing. The GCPD will crumble. Penguin or someone worse will take over, and you will lose Gotham forever. Or, take on this city as your own. Keep the GCPD, let them think you're a hero. But live knowing who you are, knowing what you've done - that is my revenge.
