* BatmanGambit: Early in the film, Harry confronts Threlkiss, a mob boss he believes is responsible for a brutal murder he's investigating: a sex worker who [[Main/HeKnowsTooMuch knew too much]]. He shows Threlkiss a thick envelope and says the murder victim wrote down what she knew (later, we see that inside the envelope was nothing but a few sheets of blank paper), hoping to intimidate the mobster into a confession. The bluff causes Threlkiss to have a heart attack and die--right at the head table at his granddaughter's wedding, no less. The failure of the gambit sets Harry up for the main plot of the film ''and'' a few of its secondary conflicts s well.
