Batman:
You lied to me... my whole life. I spoke to Carmine Falcone. He told me what he did for my father. About Salvator Maroni. Alfred:
He told you Salvator Maroni... Batman:
Had my father killed. Why didn't you tell me all this? All the years I've spent fighting for him, believing He was a good man. Alfred:
He was a good man. Your father was a good man. He made a mistake. A "mistake." Batman:
He had a man killed. Why? To protect his family image? His political ambitions. Alfred:
It wasn't to protect the family image, and he didn't have anyone killed. He was protecting your mother. He didn't care about his image or the campaign, any of that. He cared about her and you, and in a moment of weakness, he turned to Falcone. But he never thought Falcone would kill that man. He never thought that Falcone would do anything to finally have something on him that he could use. That's who Falcone is. And that was your father's mistake. But when Falcone told him what he'd done, your father was distraught. He told Falcone he was going to the police, that he would confess everything. And that night, your father and your mother were killed. Batman:
Was it Falcone? Alfred:
Oh, I wish I knew for sure. Or maybe it was some random thug on the street who needed money, got scared, and pulled the trigger too fast. If you don't think I've spent every day searching for that answer... It was my job to protect them. Do you understand? I know you always blamed yourself. You were only a boy, Bruce. I could see the fear in your eyes, but I didn't know how to help. I could teach you how to fight, but I wasn't equipped to take care of you. You needed a father. And all you had was me. I'm sorry. Batman:
Don't be sorry, Alfred. God. I never thought I'd feel that fear again. I thought I'd mastered all that. I mean, I'm not afraid to die. I realize now there's something I haven't got past. This fear... of ever going through any of that again. Of losing somebody I care about
