Jada Pinkett Smith
First Appearance: Gotham Season 1 Episode 1- Pilot
A criminal club owner with aspirations to become a king-pin in Gotham's underworld.
Fish Mooney is the go to person when the G.C.P.D can't
figure out what is happening in their cases. She is one of the many
crime bosses who works for Carmine Falcone in his criminal empire in
Gotham City. Harvey Bullock and Jim Gordon seek her out to discover
any leads on the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne as the Theater
district is her "turf."
Fish is out the back of the club, interrogating a
henchmen, named Raul, who had apperently stolen money from her. She
beats him with a baseball bat. She tells him that she "still
cares for him" but goes on to tell him that she doesn't believe
he does for her. When he replies that he does, she asks him where her
money is and he says he will get it for her. She gives him another
thump with the baseball bat, getting out the cover of Oswald
Cobblepot's umbrella. She berates him threatingly saying "if you
let this hair go frizzy, you will be" after he apologises to
her. The bartender arrives and lets her know that that Bullock is
waiting to see her and she tells them to "Keep him warm."
She leaves, remov ing her coat and handing it to the bartender.
She greats Harvey in the club with a kiss and asking who
"the friend" was. He introduces himsself and she calls him
"a cool glass of milk," on edge and suscpiscous around him.
He asks her is he had heard screaming and she sarcastically says that
her men were watching a scary movie and then revealing that they were
beating the Raul's "punk ass." Gordon looks like he is
going to say something, but Bullock tells him to relax as Fish gets
special privaleges by the G.C.P.D and some of her "staff"
need a "firm hand." She asks him flirlty if if it wasn't a
social call and if it was business, but Harvey tells her he is there
about the Wayne murders. Fish replies that it was a "terrible
thing" and Bullock sends Gordon away to see if anyone of the
staff wanted to press charges, leaving the two of them alone to chat;
after asking if it was alright with Fish to which she replies "Me
casa is su casa."
Gordon returns to find both Fish and Harvey laughing and
after he asks if everything was alright they kiss and leave saying it
is "always nice to see you Harvey." As she watches James
leave, she gives him a glower.
After discovering that Mooney had framed Mario Pepper
for the murder of the Wayne's, Gordon goes to confront her. He walks
in on her playing chess with herself and she addresses him with a
very flat "how nice." He asks her what she and Harvey had
been talking about while he was out back. She asks him if he
shouldn't just ask Bullock, reminding him that they were both
partners. He tells her that Bullock may lie to him and sh aggress,
asking if he thought that she wouldn't. Gordon turns to leave after
seeing two of her henchmen, telling her that she "already did."
But she stops him stating that he has "a little danger in your
eye" and asks what he "plans to do with that." When
Gordon tells her she'll have to find out later, she replies that he
"hates surprises." The henchmen begin to brawl with him
until Fish knocks him unconscious with one of her desk lamps.
The next day, Fish is eating while watching a comdeian
auditioning for her club and laughing at his dark sense of humour.
She answers her phone and asks Gilzean to put Bullock on, when the
former tells her that he latter arrived at the abbatoir, where Fish
usually has her "problems" dealt with. She signals for the
comedian to wait, but tells him that he is "doing great"
Fish angrily answers and Bullock tells her that she has to let Gordon
go and asking her rhetorically how long they had been friends. She
tells them that the friendship had been long, but ended after doing
him a favour and it "about to blow up in her face" because
of Bullock's "stupidity." Bullock tells her the problem is
Major Crimes not Gordon, to which to retorts by asking how they had
gotten on to her. Bullock replies that Major Crimes found out,
because someone talked. When she says that none of her people would
snitch on her , Bullock tells her that is what everyone says. She
looks around at Cobblepot, who smiles at her and she begins to get
suscpiscous, before agreeing. He repeats that she has to let him go
and if she doesn't he will be forced to come after her. She laughs
and tells him that she will as long as he keeps him under control,
asking him to put Gilzean back on the phone. She attitude immediatl
changes and calls Harvey a "son of a bitch," ordering
Gilzean to hang him up with Gordon for threating her.
Cobblepot pours her a glass of wine and her attitude
changes for a third time, bleesing his heart and asking him if he
would "be a good boy and rub my feet." She tells the
comedian to give her a momment, saying she hasn't forgotten about him
and she likes him, thinking him to be funny. She tells Cobblept that
there used to be discapline in Gotham and that Falcone is getting
"old and soft." She tells him it's time and that someone is
going to take over the position so it might as well be her. He agrees
and she compares him to a son, to which he agrees again. But she
reveals how she doesn't understand why after "all I've done for
you" and being on the "verge of greatness" he would
betray her and asking why he would betray his "mother."
When he tries to tell her he doesn't know what she is on about, she
persits telling him that she knew Cobblepot had snitched to MCU as he
was the only other person to see her with the pearls. She sits up as
he tries to tell her it was Gilzean, but she retorts that Gilzean is
loyal. He frantically says that he would open a vein if she asked
him to, which she gives him the go ahead to, cleaning and handing him
the knife she had used for her food. He tells her he was speaking
"poetically" but she continues and tells him to prove his
loyalty, gauding him by saying "my little Penguin." He
tries to attach her but she knocks him down with a chair, taking up
one of the chair legs and using it to brake Oswald's leg.
