Rogues Part 2: Two-Face

PART 2: TWO-FACE

FADE IN:

INT. ARKHAM ASYLUM - DR. STRANGE'S OFFICE

The office is neatly kept with countless file cabinets and a wall devoted to bookshelves.

DR. STRANGE, a balding, bearded, middle-aged man sits at his desk looking over the file of a one Harvey Dent, AKA Two-Face. Two-Face enters the office accompanied by an orderly.

STRANGE:(to the orderly) That'll be all, thank you.

The orderly exits, closing the door after him. Two-Face takes a seat opposite Strange.

STRANGE: It's been two years since you were placed in our care, Mr. Dent, and not one infraction. Not one outburst or uncourteous act to any of your inmates.

Strange looks intently into Two-Face's eyes.

STRANGE: And because of that, I have requested for you to be released. Probationally, of course.

TWO-FACE: That a fact?

STRANGE: Oh yes. I believe you are close to a full recovery, Harvey. That Big Bad Harv is gone for good...That Two-Face is no more.

Strange sits back in his chair

STRANGE: And I also think it's time to start re-acclimating you to civilized society.

Two-Face looks around the office.

TWO-FACE: So now what? You're just gonna let me go?

STRANGE: (chuckles) Not exactly.

Strange hands Two-Face a MANILLA ENVELOPE with paperwork inside. Two-Face looks at the papers, then back to Strange.

STRANGE: You will report to your Parole Officer every morning and evening for the next six weeks. You will tell her of all your activities.

Strange pulls out a clipboard with a form and pen attached and passes it to Two-Face.

STRANGE: If you fail to report back this experiment will be terminated and you will be brought back here within the hour.

Two-Face signs and hands it back to Strange.

STRANGE: And do remember, that any illegal activities will also terminate this experiment. So please, behave yourself.

TWO-FACE: It beats bein' locked up for all friggin' eternity.

Strange double checks the clipboard, looks up to Two-Face and smiles.

STRANGE: We hoped you would see it that way.

Strange gestures to the door.

STRANGE: The orderly will help you collect your personal effects.

CUT TO:

EXT. ARKHAM ASYLUM - COURTYARD: Several inmates, including Riddler and Firefly eat dinner on the bleachers.

Three armed guards escort Two-Face, handcuffed, and dressed in the same tattered suit he was captured wearing, across the yard to the gates.

Riddler notices this and shoots a spitball across the yard hitting Amygdala, a hulking brute with limited vocabulary, in the back of the head.

Amygdala turns to Maxie Zeus, a small-framed loon with a big mouth, sitting directly behind him. The two argue, and before long fists are flying.

In the excitement other inmates shriek and rave at the violence.
