Don Carmine Falcone appears in the TV series Gotham portrayed by John
Doman. He is depicted as a Mafia Don who has Gotham City's Mayor Aubrey
James (Richard Kind), Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb (Peter Scolari), and
specific members of the Gotham City Police Department in his pocket.
Falcone is served by many operatives including the hitman Victor Zsasz
(Anthony Carrigan). Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith) is secretly
planning to overthrow him; Detective James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) vows to
bring him down; and his main rival Sal Maroni (David Zayas) is
encroaching on his territory. Falcone enlists small-time criminal Oswald
Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor) to help him destroy his enemies. Falcone
also becomes enamored of a young woman named Liza (Makenzie Leigh), who
is secretly working for Mooney. He later strangles her to death when he
discovers where her allegiances lie. As punishment for her treason, he
has Mooney imprisoned and gives control of her nightclub and the
remnants of her gang to Cobblepot. Bent on ruling Gotham himself,
Cobblepot instigates a turf war between Falcone and Maroni. In the
season finale, "All Happy Families are Alike," Falcone is wounded by
Maroni's men, and Cobblepot and his henchman Butch Gilzean go to the
hospital to kill him. Gordon foils the assassination attempt, however,
and takes Falcone, Cobblepot, and Gilzean to Falcone's safehouse - where
Mooney and Maroni are waiting, intent on killing all of them. During
the meeting, Mooney double-crosses Maroni by shooting him in the head,
which leads to a fight between Maroni's men and Mooney's gang. While
Cobblepot fights Mooney, Gordon, Bullock, and Falcone manage to escape
back to Gordon's apartment. Falcone announces that he is going to retire
and leave Gotham, and gives Gordon a knife that was given to him by
Gordon's father.
