Plot synopsis
The episode begins with Harvey Bullock and James Gordon going to 5th Avenue to investigate the recent murder of Mob Boss John Miers and his 2 bodyguards. They find that the killer left a card calling for justice, the same as a card left after the murder of Mob Boss Gus Taylor 2 weeks ago. Meanwhile, Falcone, the leader of the Mob visits Oswald Cobblepot's night club asking for protection from the killer. Cobblepot agrees to call Floyd Lawson, AKA Deadshot to kill whoever murdered Taylor and Miers. Falcone does not realize that Selina Kyle saw him go into the Night Club. Gordon is told by the Coroner, Pamela Isley, that one of the Bodyguards was killed with a Katana, and that Miers and the other bodyguard were killed by a crossbow. Bruce Wayne hears of the murder and decides to launch his own investigation. Later, Bullock and Gordon go looking for the killer. They find that only one person saw him. Selina kyle goes into the warehouse she keeps her stolen goods in and is attacked by the murderer who attempts to kill her for unknown reasons. She escapes, but is pursued by the killer. Gordon and Bullock split up, and Selina runs into Bullock. Bullock thinks she is crazy, but he sees the killer and realizes she is telling the truth. The Killer shoots Bullock in the chest, but does not fatally wound him. Selina uses this to her advantage and disappears. Gordon finds Bullock and takes him to hospital. Gordon sees the killer on a security camera near Cobblepot's Nightclub and goes to find him. He meets the killer who tells him that Justice is coming for Gotham before running away. Gordon gives chase but looses him near a factory. The next day, Deadshot meets up with Falcone and leaves to find the killer, who has been dubbed 'The Shadow'. The Shadow strikes again when he kidnaps one of Falcone's Drug dealers and shoots him with 100 Crossbow bolts before tying him to a street light. Bullock is called in to find out what happened, and he is joined by Gordon. Gordon finds a similar note to the last 2. That night, Isley is in the Morgue when she meets Arron Cash, a Physcyatrist from Arkham who has been transferred to the Police force. Cash thinks that The Shadow sees himself as a Vigilante, not a criminal. Selina Kyle is still running away, and she is almost caught by The Shadow. She returns to her Warehouse to find the Police clearing it out. Gordon and Bullock continue their investigation, and soon discover a threat from The Shadow suggesting that Falcone is his next target.
