The two vigilantes then engage the criminals and the cops hold fire, then arrest the unconscious thugs. Batman asks Harvey Bullock what happened so he explains the mercenaries fired at them. Batman wanted to find a reason so he interrogated a thug, who was scared, reveals it was a diversion for Harvey being captured. Harvey quickly warned Gordon and the two Bat's went to Harvey's home.

Batman managed to infiltrate the Final Offer with Batgirl.

Meanwhile, Penguin is torturing Harvey and demanded for his crimes to be ignored, however the district attorney refused to become part of Gotham's corrupted and instead promised he'll be one of the mosted wanted criminals. This caused Penguin to instead threaten Rachel, with Harvey showing his "bad side" and headbutted Penguin, making violent threats. Mr. Sickle, Penguin's lieutenant, punched Harvey which snapped him out of it and Tracey and Candy helped up an enraged Penguin, who moved to torture Rachel. Batgirl then comes in to save Rachel and Batman then ambushes the armed guards, knocking them out. Batman then fights Sickle while Batgirl fights Tracey and Candy, eventually Batgirl defeats the two and Batman then defeats Sickle.
