Because it's all part of the plan

The mob has plans. The cops have plans. Gordon's, got plans.

You know...they're schemers.

Schemers trying to control their little worlds.

I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and I turned it on itself.

you know what I noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan"

Even if the plan is horrifying.

If tomorrow I told the press that, like, a gang-banger will get shot,

or a truck load of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics.

Because it's all part of the plan.

But when I say that one little old mayor will die... then everyone loses their minds

Introduce a little anarchy.

Upset the established order, then everything becomes..

chaos.

I'm an agent of chaos.

Oh, and you know the thing about chaos?

It's fair.
