02:11while Arthur is adamant

02:13that they should be talking about

02:15how he is different now than he was before.

02:29which everyone at Arkham watches.

02:32Lee watches on the streets

02:34with a crowd outside a TV store,

02:43with hundreds of fans gathered to witness,

02:47including Lee standing outside the courthouse.

02:51Dr. Liu, Ken Leung,

02:53speaks on his beliefs

02:55that Arthur is faking his mental illness

02:58and committed the murders on his own accord,

03:01but he is still a highly disturbed individual

03:04with a traumatic past.

03:06Marian gives her argument defending Arthur's case.

03:11After the day is done,

03:13Lee tries to argue with Marian

03:16that they are keeping her as far from Arthur as possible.

03:20Marian approaches Arthur in his cell

03:23and tells him that all the stuff

03:25that Lee said about her past,

03:27that she's poor, her father's dead, etc.,

03:30is all a lie

03:32as she lives in the Upper West Side

03:34with both her parents

03:36and she got a degree in psychology.

03:39Marian warns Arthur

03:41that Lee is playing him for a fool,

03:43but he just has another musical fantasy

03:46about the two of them,

03:48which ends with Lee shooting Joker in the stomach.

03:52Lee visits Arthur at Arkham.

03:55He asks her if she really was lying to him

03:59and she just tries to turn Marian's words back on her

04:03as if she were the one trying to manipulate Arthur.

04:07Lee also tells Arthur that she is pregnant

04:11and he is elated.

04:13During the next day of the trial,

04:16a testimony is given by Sophie de Monde Zazie Beetz,

04:21Arthur's former neighbor that he was infatuated with.

04:25She recounts the creepy encounters that she had with him,

04:29as well as the harassment she received

04:32from Arthur's followers and press

04:35wanting to ask her about her involvement with him.

04:39Sophie also brings up

04:41how she used to talk to his mother Penny,

04:44recounting the things that she told Sophie

04:47about Arthur's failed aspirations as a comedian.

04:51Arthur envisions himself singing the Joker

04:55before attacking the jury

04:58and the judge in his fantasy

05:00before blowing his brains out.

05:02Arthur cuts off Sophie's testimony

05:05to fire Marian and represent himself,

05:09which his supporters cheer for.

05:12When he returns to Arkham,

05:14the inmates cheer and sing

05:16when the Saints go marching in,

05:19which pisses off the guards' Judge Rothwax,

05:22Bill Smitrovich,

05:24reluctantly allows Arthur to represent himself

05:28while in his Joker makeup and suit.

05:31The next testimony is given

05:33by Arthur's former co-worker at Ha Ha's,

05:37Gary Puddle's Lee Gill,

05:39who witnessed Arthur's horrific murder of Randall.

05:43The incident not only traumatized Gary so much

05:47that it affected his work and sleep,

05:50but he was also shocked

05:52because Arthur was the only person at work

05:55who was ever kind to him.

05:57Arthur gives an impassioned rant

05:59about how he is not letting his tormentors keep him down

06:03and that he feels free as Joker.

06:06Arthur returns to Arkham

06:08and is beaten and raped by Jackie

06:10and two other guards

06:12since he insulted them during his rant.

06:15After being dragged back to his cell,

06:18a young inmate, Ricky Meline, Jacob Laughland,

06:22who has been one of Arthur's biggest supporters,

06:26starts singing for Arthur.

06:28Jackie goes to his cell and strangles Ricky to death,

06:33which Arthur overhears.

06:35During the closing statements part of the trial,

06:39Arthur eventually admits to everyone

06:42that he no longer wants to be Joker,

06:45admitting he is just sad and tired of life.

06:49He also confesses to killing his mother by smothering her.

06:54Lee and various other followers

06:57quickly turn on Arthur

06:59and leave the courthouse in disgust.

07:02Arthur later leaves a voice message for Lee

07:06where he sings to her one last time.

07:09The verdict is reached

07:11and Arthur is deemed guilty on all counts of murder.

07:16He begins laughing maniacally

07:19and a family member of one of the victims

07:22tries to attack Arthur, causing a frenzy.

07:26A car bomb goes off,

07:29blowing a huge hole in the courthouse

07:32and burning half of Den's face.

07:35Arthur starts to run out

07:37and is picked up by two Joker followers

07:40trying to sneak him away.

07:42Arthur ends up running out of the car

07:45and flees into the streets.

07:48He goes up the steps of his old apartment

07:51and finds Lee there.

07:53He tries to restart their romance,

07:56but she tells him they are done

07:58since she was only ever in love with the fantasy of Joker.

08:03She sings to him and leaves him alone

08:06before he is arrested.

08:08Arthur returns to Arkham

08:10and is told by Jackie that he has a visitor.

08:14As he follows him,

08:16an inmate, Connor Story,

08:19that has been following Arthur's Joker persona

08:22approaches him to tell a joke.

08:25When he gets to the punchline, he says,

08:28You get what you fucking deserve.

08:31The same thing Arthur said to Murray before killing him.

08:36The inmate repeatedly stabs Arthur in the gut.

08:41He sees himself in one last musical number with Lee

08:45as he bleeds out and dies.

08:48Meanwhile, the inmate carves a Glasgow grin

08:52into his own face.
