In Gotham season 3 episode 9, titled "The Executioner," the city of Gotham is in chaos as a vicious new villain, known as the Executioner, takes to the streets to deliver his version of justice. With tensions running high, Detective Jim Gordon must work to bring the vigilante to justice before more innocent lives are lost.

As the episode opens, the Executioner is on the hunt, stalking his latest victim through the dark alleys of Gotham. The victim, a violent criminal with a history of hurting women, is knocked unconscious by the Executioner's signature weapon - a giant mace with a sharp blade at the end. The vigilante drags the criminal's body to the courthouse steps, leaving a note for the police: "Justice has been served."

Gordon and his partner, Detective Bullock, are called in to investigate the latest killing. They are joined by a new member of the strike team, Nathaniel Barnes, who has just been promoted to Captain. Barnes is a no-nonsense cop who believes in using force to get results, and he clashes with Gordon over the best way to handle the Executioner.

Meanwhile, Oswald Cobblepot, aka the Penguin, is still behind bars, awaiting trial for his crimes. His loyal follower, Edward Nygma, aka the Riddler, is determined to break him out, but finds himself at a loss when it comes to cracking the Penguin's high-security cell.

As the Executioner continues his killing spree, Gordon and Bullock race to track him down before he strikes again. They follow a lead to a construction site, where they find the vigilante in the midst of a bloody fight with a group of hired thugs. With Barnes' help, they manage to subdue the Executioner and bring him in for questioning.

But things take a dark turn when the Executioner begins to reveal his motivations. As it turns out, he is a former Army Ranger who has been traumatized by his experiences in combat. He believes that the justice system in Gotham has failed, and that he must take matters into his own hands to prevent criminals from hurting innocent people.

Gordon and Barnes are horrified by the vigilante's brutal methods, but find themselves torn about how to handle him. Barnes, who is still grieving the loss of his own family members to violent crime, sympathizes with the Executioner's mission. Gordon, on the other hand, won't tolerate vigilantism of any kind.

As the two detectives argue, the Executioner manages to escape from custody, setting off a city-wide manhunt for the dangerous killer. The search leads them to an abandoned warehouse, where they discover the vigilante's secret lair and a cache of weapons.

In the thrilling final scenes of the episode, Gordon and Barnes confront the Executioner in a dramatic showdown. In the end, the two detectives must decide whether to let the vigilante continue his murderous crusade, or to stop him once and for all.

"The Executioner" is an action-packed episode of Gotham that showcases the series' dark and gritty tone. With strong performances from Ben McKenzie as Gordon and Michael Chiklis as Barnes, the episode explores the complex issues surrounding vigilantism and the cost of justice in Gotham's corrupt and dangerous world. So, it is a must-watch episode for all Gotham fans.
