Revenge in Gotham (Episode)

Begininngs
We see a manor house on a small hill. The gate to the road that leads up to it has the letters “ARKHAM” on it. The camera then goes through the gate and to the house’s doors. We see the inside. Inside is a girl in some room that looks like a kid’s playroom. She wakes up and screams as we see a huge shadow approaching her.

We see the bench where Jack and James Jr. are. We see a replay of the conversation earlier. After James says “I’m a psychopath, just like you.” Jack looks at him and says “No I’m not!”

A Plot
“Whatever!” says James. “But you still want to get revenge with at my dad.” “Maybe, I dunno. I guess I was just acting a little crazy. I’m not really that mean a guy, I’m just a bank robber. What did you have in mind?” “We could kill my sister,” James suggests. “What kind of a brother are you?” Jack asks wearily. “Well, I guess I’m in. What were you planning on doing?” “I don’t know I haven’t been in town long,” admits James. “I know a guy, who knows a lunatic who could kill her in a horrible way.” Jack says, he then calls “the guy”, who is actually Mayor Cobblepot.

Cobblepot is in his office. Two men wearing dark suits are holding the arms of a crying young woman who is begging for her life. Cobblepot is on the phone with a mob boss. He is saying, “No Mr. Maroni whether or not you stop business with the Red Hoods, your daughter will be given to the birthday boy. What it will determine is whether or not your other daughter will die too, good day.” The two men then drag the woman away and we see Cobblepot’s face for the first time. He is fat, is wearing a top hat and black tuxedo and has a slightly pointed nose. He is smirking. He then gets Jacks call. “What the hell, who is this?” “Hello, I was that one bad comedian you hired for your election party three years ago.” Jack says meekly. “Why the hell are you calling me?” “I have someone I need to sent to the birthday boy.” “Why would I care about your problems?” grunts Cobblepot. “Because she’s the daughter of a clean cop, and you know how much trouble they can be.” “Fine,” says Cobblepot. “He’s holed up at old Arkham Manor. YOU have to take her there though.”

Cold Cases
It's at the police station. Gordon has been given a cold case by the Commissioner to keep him busy. Gordon notes that they are not likely to find a murder culprit from the 1720s. He goes down to the records and asks the lady there if he can have the Wayne’s case file. The lady says that he isn’t in the system yet. He then asks if he can just use Harvey’s name instead, to which the lady says yes.

We then see Sofia Falcone. Her face is angry and we see she has been crying. We then meet Sal Maroni and it is revealed that his two daughters are the result of an affair with Sofia. He then states that he will send his other daughter away and will resume business with the Red Hoods out of principle. Sofia then says that Cobblepot will burn one day for this.

Kidnapped
A detective named Flass then goes down to records, he then says to the record lady “I need to check the log.” He then sees Harvey’s name in the records and that he removed the Wayne file. “You are dead meat Harv,” he says. An officer comes down and says, “Two men to see you Flass.” He meets the two men, who are Jack and James. They ask him to help with the plan, since Flass hates Gordon, he is willing to help them capture Barbara.

We see Barbara at the library where she has a part time job. James approaches and asks her if he can buy her a lunch at her favorite restaurant. Barbara then says that she will ask if she can take a break. James secretly smiles.

We see Barbara standing outside the library, looking at her watch. She then asks, “Where is he?” Flass comes up to her and says, “Your brother got hit by a hit in run driver, my partner is taking him to the hospital if you want to ride along. Barbara sees James in the car, he is moaning and doesn’t look healthy. She gets in. Suddenly the car speeds away. Flass starts laughing, in the background we see Harvey witnessing it.

In the car, Barbara realizes that something is wrong. She asks the cop in the car what’s going on. The cop turns around and is revealed to be Jack. He then sprays chloroform in her face and she passes out.

Harvey approaches Flass and asks him what this is about. Flass then says “Harvey, you’re always looking for answers. What were you doing in the Wayne file??!!” He then shoots at Harvey and says, “You and Gordon are dead meat!” Luckily, Harvey manages to escape with only a flesh wound.

Discussions
Jack and James are standing outside Arkham Manor. Jack says, “What are we doing? If they catch us we’ll fry, the cops may be corrupt, but only another cop can kill a cop.” James berates him for chickening out. Jack then suggests that instead they just send Jim a video threatening him to get out of town. James says it's a bad idea, but that Jack can do it. Jack says that he’s changed his mind.

Harvey makes it to Gordon and says, “Gordon, what the hell are you doing with the Wayne File?” “I figured that if the commissioner wanted me to work on cold cases, I might as well solve one that didn’t happen two centuries ago. Anyway, there’s some interesting updates, that guy who we saw being mugged was the Wayne son. And now that he’s returned, people indirectly involved with the murder are being killed. Something big’s going down soon,” says Gordon. “Your kids are going down NOW!” says Harvey. “Wait, how DID you get the Wayne files.” “I used your name.” “You stupid bastard!” shouts Harvey who grabs Gordon’s coat and pushes him against the wall. “You checked those out under my name?” “I wasn’t in the system yet.” “They have your kids.” says Harvey, freaking out. “Who?” asks Gordon. “The real Gotham, the people who control everything, the people who had my wife killed! I used to be like you, I told everyone who tried to get me on the take to go to hell, then my wife died. You need to return those files Gordon, if you don’t you’ll lose everyone you care about.” “And then what, you think we’ll be safe. If we don’t stand up, they’ll keep coming after us. No, I’m going to find out where they are and I’m going to go haul their captors’ ass to prison.” says Gordon firmly. Harvey looks down at his feet then looks up and says “We will, Gordo,” says Harvey. “Your right, these guys will just keep taking until there’s nothing left. What do we suggest we do?” “You know that one corrupt cop, Flass?” asks Gordon. “Let’s go see if he likes baseball.” Says Gordon leaning down and picking up a baseball bat.

Good cop, bad cop, not a cop
The scene switches to a street corner. Flass is hitting on an off-duty prostitute named Selina unsuccessfully. “Please, I’m not on the job right now,” she says. Gordon approaches him. “Hi,” he says. “Hello Gordon.” “You know that’s illegal,” he says pointing at Selina. Selina gives him a pouty look and leaves. “You’re a good cop Gordon,” says Flass angrily. “Thanks,” grunts Gordon. “It wasn’t a compliment.” “Good,” says Gordon as a baseball bat hits Flass in the back of the head. It is revealed to be Harvey. “What is this, Harv? Good cop vs. Bad Cop,” asks Flass. “No, this is Gotham. It's Bad cop vs Bad Cop,” says Harvey raising the bat. Gordon raises one too. “You’re going to tell us where you put my kids, but first you’re going to hurt.”

We see a hand carrying a small case. It sets the case on a dusty desk. It opens the case and inside is a Rorschach mask. It grabs the mask and we see it going over a face. The man puts on a trench coat and fedora. He is now Rorschach.
