[Act II]
*Ext. Wayne Manor
(Pans around the Wayne Manor)
*Int. Study
(Cuts inside as we go into the study and the camera spots Bruce standing in the center of the fireplace and we notices he is glancing at the family portrait of himself, his father, and his mother; then Alfred appears and sees him looking strangely)
Alfred: Master Bruce, I wonder why you asked me to pick you up to go home.
Bruce: I don’t feel good.
Alfred: If you don’t feel good sir, I can whip up some nice, hot chicken soup.
Bruce: Not that sick, Alfred. It just that I been having these strange dreams or… (Thinking about it) never mind. (Leaves)
Alfred: (Confused) Sir? (Tries to follow him, but hears the doorbell and goes to the door to see who’s there)
*Int. Kitchen
(Cuts to the big kitchen as we see Bruce getting a Mountain Dew to try to clear his head; the camera shifts to Alfred entering)
Alfred: Master Bruce, a Sir Leo Foster is at the door, or actually in the foyer.
Bruce: (Holding his drink) Thanks Alfred!
Alfred: (Smiling and walks off)
Bruce: (Finishes his drink, throws it away, and exits the kitchen to see Leo)
*Int. Foyer
(Cuts to the foyer as we see Leo looking around and then we see Bruce walking to him)
Bruce: Hey man!
Leo: Hey back… (Continuing looking) I still can’t get this feeling of me.
Bruce: What feeling?
Leo: That you have a house like a five-star hotel and I have a house that looks like a one-star cheap, priced motel.
Bruce: (Smiling) You can never get that feeling of you huh.
Leo: It’s me, so what you expect.
Bruce: Nothing actually, I want to know why you are here.
Leo: I’m here so I can really get to know the mind of Bruce Wayne.
Bruce: (Ignoring) There’s nothing to talk about.
Leo: Actually there is; you been acting strangely today and even Alfred mentioned you acted strangely when you got up from bed earlier.
Bruce: (Not talking)
Leo: I know today is really hard on you since the day we came back to school is ironically the same day your parents died.
Bruce: I had been having these strange dreams, more like flashbacks.
Leo: Flashbacks? Of what?
Bruce: …of my parents.
Leo: Whoa!
Bruce: It just weird these flashbacks of them is happening on the anniversary of their death. Is this a sign or something?
Leo: I think these signs are telling you something that you didn’t know when you were seven.
Bruce: What’s causing this?
Leo: I don’t know, but I do know these flashbacks are telling you something about a future thing.
Bruce: What thing?
Leo: I don’t know, but let me find out. I’ll be back. (Leaving)
(Bruce still can’t get those flashbacks out of his mind as he walks into the study room again)
*Int. Study
(Cuts back to the study as we see Bruce looking at the portrait again trying to clue in what are making him remembering these past events of his parents, and then out of nowhere he gets close his eyes and gets another flashback)
*Ext. Gotham City – Eastern Docks- Warehouse (Flashback: 1998)
(Flashes back to the past again to a different background to see the grim city again and then shifts to the eastern side of Gotham Docks; shifts to a warehouse as we see men walking around and the leading man who looks like a mob boss who is sitting in his limousine as his goons are waiting for something)
(One of the thugs comes up to the leader to check on someone)
Thug#1: Hey boss, you sure that Wayne man has everything we need.
Boss: Of course, his industry is Gotham’s finest and has everything from military-style weapons to armored vehicles to advanced technology. So to answer your question…
Thug#1: Don’t worry sir, you already said enough.
(The camera then shifts to a shadowy figure in the back of the warehouse)
Figure: Sczoneri!
Sczoneri: (Turns around to see who that was) Who’s there?
Figure: (Only me)
(The shadowy figure turns around and we notices it is a younger aged Victor Powers)
Sczoneri: Victor Powers, seem your reputation has a lethal dose of pain and sorrow.
Victor: At least I don’t have a rep of unmediated killings, kidnappings, forgery, stealing…may I go on?!
Sczoneri: (Aggravated) What do you want?
Victor: I had a phone call of a depressed Martha Wayne, you know the wife of best friend, Thomas Wayne.
Sczoneri: If I last remembered, you two are former friends.
Victor: Though I do keep in contact with Martha, but the point is that your men threaten her and her son. And even though I don’t get eye to eye with Thomas anymore, I still care about his family and to let your goons to threaten them is one thing I can’t allow.
Sczoneri: You should back down Victor, if you know what’s good for you. Unless I go after your family.
Victor: (Angry) Listen! (Almost to his face, but some of Sczoneri’s men get to his face as Victor backs down) Alright, I let you go for now, but if you ever even think of touching Martha or Bruce again, I don’t matter what the police do to you, but I will kill if I see you.
(Victor turns around and exits as we see Sczoneri realizing he has a threat of his own, and matters nothing)
Sczoneri: Tak, go to the Wayne’s and try to convince our partner that this is the right thing to do.
Tak: Yes sir. (Heading out)
(Sczoneri smirks and then we see something else)
*Ext. Wayne Industries
(Cuts back to the main building, still in the flashback seeing how the hours have passed, as we see Thomas Wayne exiting through the doors as he heads to his limousine; after his limo departs, we see another limo pulling up and then the window rolls down as we see Victor with a strange feeling; then all of the sudden…)
(Back to 2008)
*Int. Study (Present Day)
(Flashes back to the present day as Bruce opens his eyes as it is stunned to notice there are two huge clues every time he has these strange flashbacks, Sczoneri and Victor Powers)
Bruce: (Now noticing some clues have been pieced together) Victor. (Realizing he is one of the people who last saw his parents alive)
(Fades out)

(Cuts to the Powers Mansion again and then we check inside)
*Int. Library
(Cuts inside as we see in the library the doors are open, and is an angry Bruce)
Bruce: (Yelling) Victor! Victor!
(Keeps on yelling until we see a young man like Bruce but with blonde hair as he notices Bruce yelling his father’s name)
Man: Hey!
Bruce: (Looks up) Where’s Victor?
Man: My father is not here.
Bruce: And you must be…
Man: Jason, Jason Powers; you?
Bruce: Bruce Wayne.
Jason: Bruce?! Bruce! (Running towards him) It’s good to see you again man. (Patting his hand on Bruce’s shoulders)
Bruce: What?
Jason: Come on; remember we played “it” and other fun games while our parents did whatever they came to do.
Bruce: Well Jason, I…can’t remember most of it because….
Jason: Let me guess, today’s the anniversary of your parent’s death. I feel for you; ever since you were seven and when your parents died, we lost contact between us.
Bruce: If so, I’m so sorry about it. I wish we could make it up.
Jason: Actually, we can make it up by going out for a quick bite or see what new movie is out, or maybe an opera…
Bruce: (Feeling weird once he heard opera)
Jason: Oh yeah, I forgot. (Trying to go on a different topic) So why you need my father.
Bruce: I need him because he might have answers for some long-tough questions I have been harboring for a while.
Jason: Hate to say this, but keep harboring for a little bit because he’s not here. I surely don’t know where is he; if he comes back, I let you know.
Bruce: You know what forget it; I see him when I’m ready.
Jason: You’re sure?
Bruce: I’m positive. (About to leave, but stops for a second) If you want that outing between the two of us again, can you accept a rain check?
Jason: For you, I take your i.o.u’s. (Laughing)
Bruce: (Smiles; he then leaves)
(The camera sees Bruce leaving then shifts to Jason still wondering why Bruce wants with his father)

*Int. Commissioner’s Office
(Cuts to the Commissioner’s Office as we see the Commissioner joined by a detective)
Detective: Commander Woods, you seek for me?
Comm. Woods: (We see a older wiser man) Come in Megan!
Det. Alder: (We see a middle-aged woman wearing a blouse and skirt with a leather jacket covering the blouse; and then we see her shield saying “GPD Detective Megan Alder”) Something’s wrong?
Comm. Woods: Actually nothing’s the matter, it is just that can you give me some good advice to give to one of my friend’s son.
Det. Alder: Who friend is this?
Comm. Woods: Thomas Wayne, I give some solace to Bruce who is taking this day like he’s actually reliving it.
Det. Alder: What happened to the Waynes?
Comm. Woods: All we know is that they were shot and the culprit never got apprehended.
Det. Alder: If you reopen the case…
Comm. Woods: I tried, but everything I thought I was getting something close turns out to be bad.
Det. Alder: Well all I can say is that Bruce needs to move on if he really wants to do something for his life.
Comm. Woods: That’s the best you got?!
Det. Alder: You want more?
Comm. Woods: Thanks, Megan; oh and I forgot, Alder turns around to notices some memoirs.
(The camera views her leaving and hit the probe the jacket)
*Ext. Wayne Industries
(Cuts to the modern-day Wayne Industries; view on the highest blinding spot at 5 surrounding the wall)
*Int. Lab
(Cuts inside to downstairs as we see a Dr. Cameron, Victor, and Bradson, Victor’s assistant, as the doctor is talking about specific details on “Phoenix”; we suddenly hear the doctor’s voice in the background)
Dr. Cameron (Voice): I can’t express the importance of this chemical. Its structure is very different and more complex than any other compound I have tested or experimented, but with our Wayne Industries’ technology we can perfect the compound into a sensitized compound, easier to be read and change.
(The camera suddenly views the three men in the center of the lab)
Dr. Cameron: My question is why come here if you have own lab.
Victor: Well, I’m good friends or used to be good friends with Thomas Wayne. I know his wife and his son.
Dr. Cameron: Speaking of, when will the prodigy takeover his father’s company.
Victor: I don’t know, but whenever he’s ready, I’m surly will accept it.
Bradson: As for the Phoenix, can we use at least a sample of the compound.
Dr. Cameron: Sorry Mr. Powers’ assistant, but our company rules states we cannot share or send rare items in our collection.
Victor: I’m sorry too, but you don’t know how much importance this chemical will change my company.
Dr. Cameron: If I’m not mistaken, this chemical is changing the Wayne Industries as we know it.
Victor: (Quickly get aggregated) So you’re saying no.
Dr. Cameron: (Defending his statement) Like I said, you cannot use this chemical. As an old saying goes, “you can’t always get what you want.” (Noticing his friend in outside) I’m sorry, but I have to take this; sorry I can’t help you.
(As we see Dr. Cameron walking off screen passing both Victor and Bradson)
Bradson: What now, sir?
Victor: What now… we will do what we came here to do… And to respond to that little weak doctor, I always get what I want no matter the consequences.
(Shifts from Bradson’s concerned face to Victor’s absolute determined face)
