After a brutal murder is discovered, the city goes on high alert and police begin to patrol the city. The same week, Reeve's park is deticated to the congressman who was assassinated two years before. At the event, a charge is set off in the croud, injuring several and killing two. The area is cleared and the police order every citizen to remain house-bound until the terrorist is caught.

Back at home, Commisioner Gordon discovers a wrapped package on his doorstop after coming home from a long day of patrol duty. The package is unwrapped to discover a blank card with a lone cypher written inside, and a recorder detailing instructions to post it on the front page of the newspaper or the editor will be killed.

The newspaper editor is taken into protective custody as the police disreguard the terrorist's orders. In an armored car, the editor is brutally shot and disfigured by the unidentified escort in the truck. The reminents he leaves behind consist of a bloody question mark carved into the editor's wrist and a nphone number in his pocket.

The police attempt to trace the phone number but to no avail. They end up calling the number and recieving instructions one more time to enter the cypher to the newspaper's front page or a killing spree will occur over the weekend. A new cypher is given at the end of the message.

The cypher is soon edited into the newspaper, and a task force, along with the masked vigilante Batman is sent to hunt down the man, against the messages instruction not to do so. The radio communications between the task force and the station are cut off, and communication is cut off, replaced by a warning of five minutes to turn around and head back to the station with undefiened consequences.

Ignored, the force continues down the highway system toward their designated search point. At the end of five minutes, a semi-truck hits a support beam of the overpass and two of the task force vehicles topple over the barrier.

Police are sent once again to investigate, and the driver remains unidentified due to a disfigured face.

Corcoran, who was moved out of the city along with District Attorney Harvey Dent and Mayor Hill.
