Bane:
[after imploding the football field, Bane and his mercenaries appear, and Bane picks up a microphone off one of the coaches]
Gotham, take control! Take control of your city.
Bane:
[the bomb is wheeled in]
This... this is the instrument of your liberation!
[His mercenaries bring Dr. Pavel forward and make him kneel in front of Bane]
Bane:
Identify yourself to the world.
[holds microphone in front of Dr. Pavel, as if he is conducting a news interview]
Dr. Pavel:
Dr. Leonid Pavel, nuclear physicist.
Bane:
And what... what is this?
Dr. Pavel:
It's a... fully primed neutron bomb, with a blast radius of six miles.
Bane:
And who is capable of disarming such a device?
Dr. Pavel:
Only me.
Bane:
Only you. Thank you, good doctor!
[snaps Dr. Pavel's neck. The crowd screams in terror]
Bane:
Now, this bomb is armed! This bomb is mobile! And the identity of the triggerman is a mystery. For one of you holds the detonator! And we came here not as conquerors, but as liberators to return control of this city to the people. And at the first sign of interference from the outside world, or for those people attempting to flee, this anonymous Gothamite - this unsung hero - will trigger the bomb. For now, martial law is in effect. Return to your homes, hold your families close, and wait. Tomorrow you claim what is rightfully yours.
[Bane drops the mike, turns, and leaves the playing field]
