replenished with supplies monthly from the king. It is a huge well of 150 feet and the only light

source is the opening from where the light comes during the day and rest of the time is darkness
only. The cage is so formed to give people the Hope To freedom and despair of the darkness

Of their Crimes. People try escaping by climbing different stones and slips many times and
there is a point halfway on which a person has to jump from one standing place to another and

that jump is the last most difficult obstacle to cross which only one child has crossed so far and

hence the jump is called the jump of faith. A Rope is provided to the climber tied to the waist
to prevent them from dying and he/she can try again after falling.

DIALOGUE.

First scene: Bruce getting out of Bed And going to put on the cape to fight bane after an

argument last night with Alfred that the batman has become weak now and should not go
because he is not in proper form as maybe he has lost hope and wanted to die.so Alfred

confronts him in stairs
Alfred: I’ll get this to Fox. But no more. I’ve sewn you up and set your bones...but I won’t bury

you. I’ve buried enough members of the Wayne family.
Wayne: You’d abandon me?

Alfred: You see only one end to your story. Leaving is all I have to make you understand you're

not Batman anymore - you have to find another way. You used to talk about finishing. About
life beyond that awful cave

Wayne: Rachel died knowing we’d decided to be together. That was my life beyond this cave,
and I can’t just move on. She didn’t. She couldn’t.

Alfred: What if he had? What if she wasn’t intending to make a life with you?
Wayne: She was, I can’t change that -

Alfred: What if, before she died, she’d written a letter? Explaining that she’d chosen Harvey

Dent over you?
Alfred: And what if, to spare you pain...I’d burned that letter?

Wayne: Why would you say such a thing?
Alfred: Because I have to make you understand.

Wayne: You’re lying.

Alfred: Because you are as precious to me as you were to your own mother and father and I
swore to them that I would protect you and I haven’t.

Alfred: You’re lying!
Alfred: I’ve never lied to you. Except when I burned Rachel’s letter.
