Synopsis: - The District Attorney tries to get Sasha Bordeaux to crack and finger Bruce Wayne for the murder of Vesper Fairchild, but to no avail. Bruce Wayne, meanwhile, is finding it hard to adjust to life detained in Blackgate Penitentiary, coming under pressure from the Aryans in particular. Forced to endure hours of television reportage on the Fairchild case, and having set some sort of plan in motion with Alfred Pennyworth, he finally cracks and beats up several of the Aryans when they come to do the same to him. He is transferred to solitary, much to Sasha's dismay.
