Boy Wonder Page #5

Synopsis: A young Brooklyn boy witnesses the brutal murder of his mother and grows up obsessed with finding her killer. Thus begins his life as a quiet, straight-A student by day and a self-appointed hero at night. But what is a real hero? And who decides what is right or wrong? As the boundaries blur, Sean's dual life wears on his psyche and his two worlds careen dangerously close to colliding. Like a graphic novel you can't put down, Boy Wonder challenges morality, distorting perceptions of what is right and what is justified, as it races to its shocking conclusion.

I'll be gone Friday.

I'll be golfing.

He won't have anyone else

to help him out.

The kid has...

issues.

- Get it? - Yeah, I do get it.

I read the file.

You read the file!

So... you must know

everything now.

Let me give you a little update, Detective.

You don't know sh*t.

Leave him alone.

And let him get back

to his life.

When I leave,

he'll leave.

He doesn't need you f***ing up

his head any more than it already is.

Enjoy your party.

I don't know.

He just flipped out on me.

He's just drunk.

You taking the train?

Of course I'm taking the train.

I'm hammered.

- Wake up.

- I'm awake.

You're snoring.

I am not snoring.

The dinner was nice.

Friday and then Saturday,

couple of the guys came over

to the house early.

Please.

Men, uh... They fighting.

Please go. Please.

Filthy. Filthy. F***ing dog.

Whoo!

Huh, p*ssy, where you going?

They f*** like a bunch of dogs.

They make filthy f***ing children.

That's right.

Animals like a pig.

Like a f***ing pig.

What are you looking at?

What are you looking at, family?

Huh? You think

you're better than me?

Ha!

You think you're better than me?

You think you're better than me?

Huh? Huh?

That's what you think?

Please.

Leave me alone.

Please? You want me to please you?

Is that what you want?

- No!

- You want me to please you?

- Is that what you want?

- Hey, why don't you leave her alone?

Why don't you

sit the f*** down, pig!

Huh? You wanna die early?

I'll give you something to die early for,

you filthy f***ing f***!

'Cause this pig wants to talk to me.

Ain't that right, pig?

Yeah. 'Cause I think you do.

I think you want some of this.

Please? You want

me to please you?

Is that what you want?

I'll please you.

Huh? Is that what you want?

I know that's what you want. That's

what it sounds like. I can hear you.

I can smell you.

I can smell what you want.

I'm gonna show you

what you want.

Sit the f*** down, pig!

You wanna die?

Please, uh...

They fighting.

Please go.

Okay. Okay.

I quit. All right.

Stop. I quit.

Hey!

Hey!

F***.

Where the hell were you?

I was at a...

I was at a party.

Shut up!

You wanna explain this?

Testosterone Cypionate.

Steroids?

What the f*** are you doing

looking through my sh*t?

Look motherf***er,

you live in my house!

This sh*t's in my house!

I ask the f***ing questions.

You shut the f*** up!

- I will put your head right through that

window. - F***ing try me, you a**hole!

You go to the gym.

You f***ing do push-ups.

You f***ing p*ssy.

You don't take this sh*t.

You don't take shortcuts.

What's the matter with you?

Tell me that I raised you

better than that.

Yeah, you f***ing raised

me real good.

What do we have?

This little boy got a good look at him

before he put that stuff on his face.

Get this.

Before this wacko gets up

and pummels the homeless guy,

he tells the kid to take

his mother and leave the car.

I guess he didn't want the kid

to see what was going to happen.

I thought they didn't

speak English.

They don't.

This guy spoke Chinese.

Get up.

Get up, Sean.

Sean? Sean.

Get up. Get up.

a way to spend your birthday.

So get up, get dressed.

We got a schedule to keep.

What are you talking about?

It's a surprise.

Get up.

See you downstairs.

- So where are we going?

- Where are we going?

It's your birthday.

So the first thing

I'm getting you is a cake.

All right?

This is the best damn cake

in New York.

It is pretty good.

You know, your mother and I used

to come here before you were born.

Doesn't look like much,

but the food...

it was pretty mediocre.

This is also where,

you know,

I would hang out

with my friends,

and we'd have a... like, I don't know,

like a meeting of the minds.

God, I don't

recognize it anymore.

Yeah. I guess it's

been a long time.

Not long enough.

Erin. Jesus. Jesus.

- How you been?

- How you doing, Rock?

Good. I'm great.

Erin,

this is my son, Sean.

My God. I remember when Mary

was pregnant with this little devil.

- Now look at him. Handsome like

his old man. - Get out of here.

Listen. It's been a long time.

How you been?

Doing okay.

I own this dump now.

- No.

- Yep.

Bought it from Tina

years ago.

Congratulations.

That's, that's great.

So where have

you been, Rock?

I mean, it's gotta be, what,

I heard you moved out

to Marine Park?

Yeah. Yeah.

No, I did. I, uh...

I got a nice house,

in a nice neighborhood.

Good for you, Terry. Finally

got yourself out of this place.

- I'm proud of you.

- Nah, it wasn't so bad.

- Ah, well, it's pretty bad.

- Yeah, it's pretty bad.

Listen. Why don't you sit down

and keep Sean company.

- I'm gonna hit the head.

- Okay.

- Oh, Terry?

- Yeah.

Take a look

on the back wall there.

- I got some old pictures

of you and the guys. - Okay.

- Hi.

- Sean, right?

God, your old man,

he looks great.

He looks better now than he did

when he used to hang around here.

He looks younger.

Yeah, that's 'cause

he stopped drinking.

Yeah. Well, that'll do it.

So, you called my dad Rock.

Is that a nickname or...

Yeah, Rocky.

You know, like the fighter,

the boxer? From the movie?

Anyway, I mean your dad

wasn't a heavyweight.

He was more of a scrapper.

You know? Really a great boxer.

He could have gone pro.

If it hadn't been

for the booze.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Your old man,

he did a lot more fighting in the

street than he did in the gym,

If you know what I mean.

But, uh, with those animals

he used to hang out with,

I guess that was just

par for the course.

Rock. That's, that's funny.

Oh, hey.

I was telling your son here what an

upstanding citizen you were back in the day.

Uh, yeah.

Listen, um...

- God, Erin, I hate to run out like this

on you but... - No, no, no. Come on.

- I insist. I insist.

- What's up?

Um...

- Come on. We gotta go.

- What's the hurry?

Come on. We gotta go.

It's a surprise.

- I'm gonna stay in touch.

- You better.

- Don't wait 10 years.

- I won't.

- It was nice meeting you.

- Nice to meet you too, Sean.

See you around.

Sorry to rush you out of there like that,

but we don't wanna miss the first fight, do ya?

What fight?

What are you talking about?

Well, get in the car

and I'll show ya.

This kid in the red

is pretty good.

- Yeah, that's Angel.

- I spar with him all the time.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Yeah, he looks pretty tough.

He's not that tough.

- Really?

- Yeah.

He looks pretty tough

to me. Oh!

Man, I forgot they had fights

at my gym tonight.

Your gym?

My gym first.

Great fights.

- Yeah, they were

pretty good. - Yeah.

Hey, listen, one more stop.

Then we'll head back home.

- Okay? - Okay.

- All right.

Why did you bring me here?

Well,

I wanted you

to remember this.

You think

I forgot about this?

No. No, I know you haven't.

I know this memory is...

still fresh in your mind.

I see it in your eyes

every day.

What I wanted you

to remember, Sean,

is that your mother
