[edit] Plot

District Attorney Harvey Dent is hiding a deep dark secret. He has a second personality, that of Big Bad Harv, a hard nosed gangster created by Harvey's repressed rage over the years. When Rupert Thorne learns of Dent's sickness, he tries to blackmail him. Unfortunately, Dent's "bad" side comes to the fore. He attacks Thorne, leading to an explosion which allows Dent's second personality to become dominant and begin a criminal campaign against his hated rival, who puts out a two-million dollar contract on him.

TWO-FACE: "There's just one problem - you're talking to the wrong Harvey."

[edit] Trivia

Grace Lamont, Harvey Dent's fiancee, is played by Murphy Cross, who also played a love interest of Richard Moll on the TV series Night Court.
The scene where Harvey Dent first sees his new appearance in the hospital was intended to be similar to the scene in Batman (1989 film) where Jack Nicholson first discovers his Joker-like appearance.
This, the tenth episode of the series to be produced, marked the time when the writers felt the series really took an adult turn - and for the better.
The scene where Harvey lies in the hospital while Bruce worries about the possible mental damage the accident caused, you can see his hair, neckline, and hand are clearly undamaged and unscarred. However, when Grace faints after seeing him for the first time as Two-Face by the end of the first part, his hair is discolored and his neck is scarred also; his hand is scarred by the beginning of the second installment.
During the beginning of the bank robbery at the start of the second part, Two-Face tells everyone "For the next five minutes, I'm in charge!" This was spoken by Al Pacino, whom the producers wanted to voice the character, in Dog Day Afternoon.
