[Crane’s holding the device up, and you can see from the wall behind him that he’s in zero.]

I don’t see why you’re all taking this so personally. It isn’t that different from one of your little floods, is it? And it’s not like the lot of you didn’t have it coming.

[Crane shrugs, as if to say ‘my bad’.]

Have fun with the cleanup. I’m sure there will be lots of exciting things to find around the barge.

[Crane gives the camera a bit of a grin, then moves the device away to turn it off. You can still see for a second that he doesn't look as cheerful as his tone would indicate.]

[Whoops, Crane’s in zero (brought down by Sam Tyler) and still a little bit high from the fear gas. He’s decided that he doesn’t really care if other people know he caused it because he reckons the information will get around anyway. He also doesn’t know that Ms Rose is alive yet either. I’m also open for a spam with any wardens coming down to visit him or other cool cats in zero. And this post is dated to around Sunday evening.]

Perhaps I will. Some of the people here are more entertaining then I had anticipated.

I had to make sure you'd play your part, it wasn't personal.

God forbid, you could have just asked me, and saved her the trauma. I might have done it anyway. [The Joker can probably hear Crane pacing around his cell.]

Why would I try to one up you? There would be little to gain on my part.

Well, if you don't think you're up to it, I can accept that. Some people don't have the skills needed to create such things.

I'd be perfectly capable if not for my lack of sadism.

How narrow minded. It doesn't have to be sadistic.

A certain amount of sadism is required to send people into hysteria.

Don't be foolish. I was acting like the Admiral does. Creating conflict to help them grow as people.

The Admiral's conflicts allow for retaliation. You needlessly made m-- people succumb to their worst fears without that option.

Are you bitter that you haven't had the chance to retaliate yourself?

[Going to ignore that question.]

Are you trying to convince me of your sadism?

I'm not sadistic. I do what needs to be done.

On that note, I notice that you haven't announced your role in the whole fiasco to the other wardens.

It wasn't needed.

[A falter.] They haven't yet asked, and they probably won't think to.

They'll all assume that I got the equipment out of nowhere.

[Crane stops, thinking on this for a long second.]

I won't tell them if you don't.

It wouldn't make much of a difference. [But he doesn't sound sure of that.]

I'll say I had it with me, then got rid of it so they wouldn't know my methods. Threw it off the side of the barge. Unless you want me to tell them the truth?

Stick to your story.

I will. It's for the best. The Joker doesn't need to know more than he already does.

You're in Zero with him, aren't you?

Might isn't good enough. [He sucks his teeth.] Anyway, you needed to break free of your delusions.

... I helped you.

[Judas furrowed his eyebrows at Crane from behind the bars and shook his head fiercely, firmly in denial of such a thing.]

No. No, he can't have.

I'm sorry, but it's true. Perhaps you should have done better. [Crane shrugged, and started to look at his journal again.] There haven't been any volunteers to be your warden so far. Maybe they'll leave you down here for good.

[Judas's breath caught in his throat and he began to shake the bars with his hands, a vain attempt to free himself.]

No, they wouldn't. The Admiral would re-assign me. I'll be out of here. By Wednesday. I'll have a new warden on Wednesday.

[But despite all his threatening to Sexby in the past six months, he never wanted a new warden. The older man knew just how to push him in the right way and seemed to genuinely care for the Apostle but Judas knew there was a rift between them since his transformation.]

Yes. He just sits there laughing, which goes well with Judas's persistent sobbing.
