LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: As 'Batman: Caped Crusader' approaches its finale, the story grows more intense. Batman's (Hamish Linklater) mission to restore order in Gotham becomes increasingly urgent, and the consequences of his actions become more evident.

Harvey always aspired to become the mayor of Gotham City, motivated by a desire to effect meaningful change and deliver justice.

To achieve this goal, he actively participated in campaigns, working tirelessly to win over voters with his charisma and promises of a brighter future.

However, Harvey's campaign took a dark and unexpected turn when a significant portion of its funding came from a notoriously nefarious source.

Unbeknownst to him, this support came with hidden dangers that would ultimately alter the course of his life forever.

Children began to go missing from his campaign events, casting a dark shadow over his aspirations and raising suspicions and fears among the public.

In a horrific turn of events, an incident left Harvey's face severely disfigured, with one side grotesquely scarred. No longer able to present himself as the charismatic candidate he once was, he confronted a harsh and unforgiving public.

He had once wanted to help children, but due to the taint of a nefarious source, he became Two-Face. In public, he was cruelly branded as a monster.

In 'Batman: Caped Crusader' Episode 9, his quest for justice transformed into a quest for revenge against those who had planned his downfall. 

Harvey discovers that a man named Tony was responsible for his disfigurement, acting on the orders of the crime lord Rupert Thorne (Cedric Yarbrough).

Consumed by rage and a thirst for revenge, Harvey sets out to track down Tony's whereabouts.

He sets the place ablaze, burning Tony alive and exacting a brutal form of retribution for the horrors he has endured.

With his vengeance not yet satisfied, Harvey then turns his attention to Rupert. Armed with a gun and driven by an unrelenting need for justice, he storms into Rupert's heavily guarded mansion.

Harvey kills Rupert's men one by one in a ruthless rampage. As he moves to kill Rupert and his son, Batman intervenes just in time to save them.

After a tense confrontation, Harvey is apprehended and subsequently placed in police custody. He is later seen in a police cell. 

At the end of 'Batman: Caped Crusader' Episode 9, Barbara Gordon (Krystal Joy Brown) arrives at the police station as Harvey's lawyer. When Harvey sees Barbara, he is visibly shocked and taken aback.

It appears that Barbara wants to help Harvey. However, he has now become a changed man, one who no longer hesitates to kill.

The Harvey she once knew, the idealistic district attorney dedicated to justice, has been replaced by a man driven by anger and a desire for revenge. His transformation into Two-Face has made him unpredictable and dangerous. 

It seems almost impossible that Barbara will be able to save him from the consequences of his actions.

Harvey could bring about his downfall if he attempts to kill Rupert again. By taking the law into his own hands, he risks facing severe legal consequences.

The judicial system, which he once served with dedication, might now view him as a dangerous man.

If Harvey follows through with his plan to kill Rupert, he could face a lifetime sentence, spending the rest of his days behind bars. In a worst-case scenario, Harvey could even face the death penalty.

Barbara may try to prevent Harvey from making irreversible mistakes, but she will fail given how dangerous Harvey has become. In the end, Harvey may face brutal consequences as a result of his actions.

'Batman: Caped Crusader' Episode 9 is now streaming on Prime Video.
