I Am The Night (Scene 12/13)

Scene 121

(At midnight we see a creature/figure on the Empire State Buildings rooftop, overlooking the smog from the pollution of the city. The camera rotates around this dark, lonely figure of the night, who just stands there almost waiting, metaphorically circling his prey; his prey being the whole city, to rid it of the rotting flesh that’s contaminating society. As the camera rotates around him three times, all 360 degrees rotational angles, we can see down below the heavy traffic in this twenty-four hour city, bursting at the seams. We can hear distant horns going off, the sirens from hundreds of metres down below going off, but up there with him is silence; the silence before his campaign of revenge takes place. The neon lights shining upwards reflect off the glass of the building and onto him, his luminous green colour shining brightly amongst the darkness of the night. He can observe everything around him, he can see how many lights are on in the skyscraper apartments, he can watch the ordinary people go to work in their office buildings, he can look at the stars and judge the night by the moon. John is no longer himself, in his real being, he is Green Lightning, his one purpose in life is to destroy the men and anyone associated with them for killing his sister, no matter how tiny the involvement they had in the process.2

His hoverboard is strapped to his back which has a clip on it near his chest which he can easily detach. The whole of his body is a bright green; he wears black boots with steel caps and extra padding, tightly strapped onto his feet, bulging muscles that are chunky rather than ripped and his metal long baton, which flicks open to four feet long and a metallic silver colour to it. The dark, gloomy world he lives in is about to find itself amidst a war.3

In the next camera shot we see a silhouette walking slowly towards a window in a dreamy suburb, many miles and presumably, many districts away from the bustling streets of the inner centre districts. As he follow the silhouette, we also find two dogs on the ground, outside this rather expensive looking well-to-do house with blood seeping out of their ears. Whomever it is that is invading someone’s property, stalking them as they sleep, this person has ruthlessly dispatched with the dogs, two growling heavy lumps of Dobermans, viscous with chains attaching the collars on their necks to a small metal ring buried deep inside a brick near the front door so they protect the owners most obvious entrance to the house. Crickets can be heard buzzing through the night, frogs, can be heard making their unique sound and the fluttering of wings by birds is also noted as the camera focuses on all these species while never letting the silhouette out of its sight. The sprinklers are on, watering the dry grass trying to make it stay as green as possible. The silence is almost unbearable. 4

An old man, in his late sixties is lying in bed, the air conditioning is fierce with as the camera zooms out a little from the focus of this mans wrinkled and battle weary face we see to the audiences horror; three young girls, all under-age in the same bed with him, all naked, with only the covers to keep them decent. Their young hair waves in each others faces as the air conditioning units in the house blows it. They, like him only have the bed to protect their naked bodies. 5

Slowly, the old man starts to turn over and as he begins to wake up, starts playing with a young girl’s hair. She tries to move away gently but he tightens his grip of her long wavy hair and whispers something in her ear, possibly vulgar. He then opens his eyes fully and a large gasp out comes out of his jaw-dropped expression.)6

Chief Justice/Paedophile: What?7

(Before he can even come to his senses, he’s picked up out of the bed and tossed nacross the room. His head hits the door frame, a little cut forms underneath a tuft of grey and receding thin hair. He stumbles, his old body not used to that. He tries to run out of the room but as he attempts to get away, forgetting his nudity, his sagging, old body is tripped over by a long pole, which the camera only shows the tip of, while the audience is left to guess who it is. The darkness in the room doesn’t betray who it is that is seeking this old man, rather it only shows the outline, a vague outline where we have to keep guessing.)8

Green Lightning: Who do you take bribes off? (Heavy breathing through gritted teeth, his nostrils flaring in anger, he pins the old man up against the wall and lifts him up grabbing his throat with all his weight, pinning him.)9

Chief Justice/Paedophile: What? Who, (fear in his voice, as he starts trembling.) Who do you think you are? 10

(The shadow gets even closer, his face looking upwards at the terrified old man.)11

Green Lightning: TELL ME! (He roars out, the angry voice rippling through the house.)12

Chief Justice/Paedophile: (He says feebly and truly out of fear) I’m the Chief Justice, you can’t do this to me! Let go!13

(Then there is a sudden silence, all that can be heard is the stirring of the girls in the bedroom, the darkness still overpowering on the screen. The whimpering of the old man, who is also the Chief Justice, a man with considerable power who is in charge of all the Judges in the city and also a politician on the board of the government. He starts trying to wriggle out of the iron-grip that is around his throat. Then, we see Green Lightning’s angry, frightening face appear out of the dark. The old man looks absolutely terrified, he starts snivelling.)14

Green Lightning: TELL ME DAMN IT! (He shouts again in a powerful, husky voice.)15

Chief Justice/Paedophile: You’ll… wake them up… (He laughs uncontrollably out of fear rather than defiance but soon knows he has made a mistake and said the wrong thing as the tightening grip around his throat becomes unbearable and as the life begins to suck out of him, when he feels like his head might explode through lack of oxygen, the grip is lessened and he’s dragged into the bathroom, in a room just down a marble corridor. Here is where Green Lightning loses any sort of control and sets about brutalising the old man. The camera stays out of the bathroom but from the door which is where we see everything happen, we can tell that the old man is going to get a beating. His refusal to say anything productive has led him down this way and he only has himself to blame. 16

Green Lightning, unashamedly slams the old mans head against the curve of the sink; his head bounces off with a sickening thud. Then, as this happens, Green Lightning grabs a towel, wraps it tightly around the poor old mans throat, still hanging onto either end and without second thought starts smashing his head into the mirror that the vanity driven Chief of Justice likes to prune himself in front of. The glass cuts his forehead open in various slashes, blood running down his face in a furious fashion as his head then meets the sink again and still controlling the flopping movements of him, Green Lightning then drags his sorry carcass to the toilet, making him scrape his knees against the fallen glass and destroyed shards of the sink and dips his head violently into the sink. He keeps it there for thirty seconds, watching the struggle of the old man as he bids for oxygen but only gets toilet water instead.)17

Green Lightning: Feeling clever now are we?18

(He raises the old mans head out of the toilet. Already beaten, bleeding, his blood mixing with the toilet water making a claret mixture, his face wet and soaking with glass in his skin and blood trickling down it, he struggles to breath. As no answer comes out of his mouth, Green Lightning forces his head near the toilet and he finally starts to blabber and talk. The camera still looking on from the door, hopefully the audience feels a mixture of shock and joy at the disputed hero doing what anyone else would have probably done to a paedophile. It’s not what he’s there for though.)19

Chief Justice/Paedophile: Ok! Ok! (Tears run down his cheeks.) I’ll tell you! I swear I will!20

Green Lightning: I know you will.21

Chief Justice/Paedophile: The… (Regaining vital oxygen) The Borelli’s! 22

Green Lightning: WHO ELSE!23

Chief Justice/Paedophile: Ummm… (Crying and sobbing)24

Green Lightning: Write them down now! I want to know all the scum that pay all the judges! (He drags the sorry body of the Chief Justice into the kitchen and throws him on the floor. Blood dripping off his head, he just lays there, beaten to an inch of his life he can’t stand up, he doesn’t have the energy. A pad and a pen are thrown at him and he starts to write down the names, exhausted scribbling. Silence throughout this period is only broken by the distinct sound of sirens being heard from about two and a half miles away. The old man looks up at him.)25

Chief Justice/Paedophile: They’ll be coming… for you (He starts laughing through a croaking voice. Green Lightning calmly picks the paper up, folds his baton/sabre stick up and stares at the quivering and broken man.) *Batman Begins End Credits 00:00-01:34, Zimmer and Newton Howard*26

Green Lightning: (He says quietly.) I doubt it; I was the one that phoned them. (His face has no expression except a dark look on his face; in his pupils we can see the terrified and head-shaking old man look defeated. The sirens get closer and when we look around to see Green Lightning we notice he’s gone, vanished into thin air. He has what he wants; he did it violently and with no shame.27

With the music carrying on, the screen blacks out and opens up again within a few seconds as the camera has transported us to the other side of the city to the Southside Dockyard, a notorious place of criminal activity where drug deals are common and western style shoot-outs are everyday occurrences. The Police are constantly down there for crime scene investigations. The wind blows gently against the rattled and broken metal barbed wire fences and a few wild dogs can be seen scuffling along, making noises at each other and fighting over pointless territory. However, a hunched shadow appears and before we know it the camera has shown us it’s Jack-in-a-Box. His hunched stature and menacing looks, along with faded powder on his face makes him look archaic and nasty. The frizzled hair, curly and bleached is pushed back, white dandruff on his collar and bits on the upper shoulders of his suit. He walks alone into the dockyard and we witness, along with him a drug deal going on. He carries on walking up to the meeting, which is hosted by two very minor families. The Baggio family, a small time Italian outfit that specialises in cheap drugs and the Zhirkov family who own warehouses across the Southside, supplying the drugs; It seems like a relaxed atmosphere, hardly anyone with weapons, these two families clearly know each other well and trade together a lot. Two policemen in their uniforms, to them untouchable and uncaring if anyone see’s them undertake ‘extra duties’ stand by and watch. They get a share of the drugs and therefore make money selling them on; possibly to prison wardens or people they know on the streets. 28

He carries on walking slowly, until a heavy of the Zhirkov family, all dressed in black, this man in particular has a black leather jacket on and a baseball bat in his hands nods his head, a signal that someone other than the cronies is watching. The camera looks at the two representatives of the families look around and see to their mixed horror and surprise that hunched maniac watching it go on. He walks up calmly.)29

JIAB: So… what’s all this stuff then? (He points towards the crates and the forklift, all near the river. He gets no response.) I was just erm, walking about, taking in sights of the city, at night of course, when the city is at its best and sleaziest and look what I’ve come across! A drugs deal! (He stands there smirking, wiping his greasy hair around his ear.) So I’ll tell you what, how about all of these drugs (Looks down at the crates) are now mine and I’ll let you all leave and get on with your lives. Fair that?30

Baggio rep: (Showing restraint) you weren’t invited to the meeting. Please leave now.31

JIAB: Oh I’m sorry… I didn’t know invites were handed out. I suppose two coppers got invites and I didn’t? I’m saddened, I really am! (He starts smirking at the two cops who start feeling uncomfortable.)32

Zhirkov rep: Do you not know how disrespectful it is to muscle in on deals? (He says with a hiss.) Your business if I remember Mr… (Looks at JIAB with his nose turned up) whoever you are, is to kill Nick Kryzios, the Police Chief of the MCPD, not to steal from the families who are paying you graciously!33

JIAB: Ok, ok, ok… point taken boys. (He starts walking away but then he stops and we hear a slight childish giggle as he gets a lighter and throws it onto a three-stacked high load of crates. The family representatives and the two cops look horrified as the crates start burning very quickly, along with the drugs inside them. They look astonished and as the Zhirkov family representative draws out a pistol JIAB turns around and looks straight at him.) Oh, so you want to shoot me do you? (He looks up onto the roof of the warehouse and we see three of his cronies, all with automatic weapons aiming at the small time gangsters, he invites them to look fifty metres or so to their left and we see two of his cronies also with powerful automatics aiming and ready.) You took a pistol to a fight with automatics… (He walks up to the representative and slaps the pistol out of his hand. JIAB kicks it away into the river. He turns around and focuses on the representatives.) 34

Baggio rep: You’re making a grave mistake. Turning on those that employ you! You fucking psycho! (His face full of contempt)35

JIAB: Me? Employed? No! (He gets a piece of paper from his pocket and in front of them rips it in half and then fritters away the pieces, smiling on the side of his face that he can like a lunatic.) I’ve broken my contract as so to speak. I no longer associate myself with the dregs of criminals like you lot.36

This town deserves some anarchy an’ I’m gonna’ hand it to everyone on a silver platter. (He starts twiddling his thumbs as he walks up close to the reps.) I’ve got more distracting things to do ya’ know? (Five more of his cronies appear out of a van, all rush out of it with small arms, noticeably AK’s) 37

You now work for moi. Get it? (He speaks to the cops and the reps, along with their gang members that they took along with them for the meeting.) 38

Baggio rep: I wish the Mario family had done a better job and sent you back to your whore of a mother’s womb! (He spits on JIAB’s face. JIAB doesn’t flinch and he doesn’t wipe it off.)39

JIAB: (He gets right up close to the annoyed rep and whips his lighter out in one hand and the rather large flick knife he carries around with him in the other. His forehead wrinkles a little as he makes an animated expression.) Well thank you for the compliment, however, lets see how much of a fan you really are (He waves his flick knife precariously close to the body of the rep, who doesn’t flinch) when I cut your face up real nice and feed you to the dogs out the front hmm? (As two cronies manhandle him and take him away for dealing with later the two cops make their excuses and now know who they work for. The Zhirkov rep is slightly frightened and sensing that fear JIAB turns on him.)40

You… go back and tell your small time hoods who they work for. (He gets up close and personal and makes the rep back off a little.) Tell them if they have a problem with it that they should come and find me and I’ll show them a good time! (The Zhirkov rep backs off, walking away as he hears the curdling scream of the Baggio man as his torture begins for his insolence and ultimately for JIAB’s pleasure. Both he and Green Lightning are on the rise from now on. JIAB, with his knife ready starts to walk towards the warehouse where the torture will begin) 41

It’s all about accumulation. No more false economics. 42

Scene 1343

(Nick Kryzios sits down at his work desk in the Apple-Dear building, where most of the police department HQ’s are based at. It’s all centralised, everything flows back to one place. He sits there with a glass of wine, the finest made and available. He ponders, wonders what’s going on in the world. It’s been a bad day for him; the man he appointed as Chief Justice has been involved in a huge scandal which threatens to explode and thrust him into it. So far the crime-busting famous face of the MCPD and ‘untouchable’ of the law enforcement of Metropolis is feeling very weak in his position of power. He has that and the rise of JIAB on his hands. A frankly terrifying force of a sociopathic monster that is ripping through the town, smiting anyone who gets in his way, its early in the morning now, possibly about three am and whilst the traffic noise has calmed down, sirens can still be heard, his huge screen windows are there for him to look out upon his world, this world of growing chaos. He sinks his head into a newspaper he’s reading.)44

Green Lightning: (Whispers) Getting that bad for you huh? 45

Captain Kryzios: Whoa! (He spins around from his chair grabbing his revolver and can’t see anyone; Green Lightning’s hiding in the shadows, teasing Kryzios.) Who the fuck is this? I’ll damn well shoot! (He hears a noise behind him and turns around but is confronted by the broken wine glass from which he was drinking earlier on.) Who is it?46

Green Lightning: Someone who knows what’s going on. (He whispers to Nick Kryzios, who swivels around again and then pushed back into his chair, his revolver kicked out of his hand and a viscous palm shot is smacked into his forehead to daze him a little bit.) 47

Captain Kryzios: You want to help me or kill me? (Recovering from the assault)48

Green Lightning: Believe me, I need you alive. (He still stays in the shadows of the spacious new age looking office.) 49

Captain Kryzios: I’d like to know what this is all about.50

Green Lightning: I have some interesting information Captain. If you shut up, I might tell you.51

Captain Kryzios; Why should I listen to someone who… (Smiles a little, trying to look around and figure out where this person is) I can’t see?52

Green Lightning: If you saw me, you’d think I was another freak in a city that’s brimming with them.53

Captain Kryzios: (Shrugs his shoulders) Fair enough. 54

Green Lightning: Jack-in-a-box is sweeping the board with the smaller gangs Nick.55

Captain Kryzios: (He sits up on his chair.) I know, I heard. 56

Green Lightning: Then you’d also know that means that any cops that were working for… say; the Del Maro gang, taking their pay, participating in shall we say, less than law abiding activities are now working for him. (Silence from Kryzios) It means that the bigger players are getting desperate and becoming weak. I can help you.57

Captain Kryzios: (Laughs a little.) You’re telling me they’d work for a maniac so beyond the pale?58

Green Lightning: It’s the pay packet Nick, you know it and so do I.59

Captain Kryzios: Not necessarily.60

Green Lightning: Oh it is. (He says in a convincing manner. He still carries on circling Kryzios, keeping to the shadows as he does it.) Which means you’re going to be next after he squeezes the life out of the mobs… they’ll become one of course, trying to fight off this guy who is breaking every single rule out there concerning Mafioso and brotherhood and so forth. Then, he’ll crush them, he has his own army now Nick. He’s more powerful then you could ever imagine. (He slides a piece of paper on the floor and it ends up near Captain Kryzios’ feet. He picks it up and reads it, squinting to make out the names on the paper.)61

Captain Kryzios: Judges… who pays them… who wrote this? Did you? (He asks suspiciously)62

Green Lightning: A former political ally of yours did. Gregan Fauber, Chief Justice if I recall. Also a paedophile, he wrote those names down after I had persuaded him to. He took some convincing.63

Captain Kryzios: God. Even he was taking payments. I wonder sometimes if everyone does.64

Green Lightning: I’d start assuming everyone does. That’s just a copy; I have the real one with me. I’m giving you the heads up that there’s a judge on that list that is now being paid by Jack-in-a-box and he probably doesn’t even know it. He isn’t making it public that he controls so many gangs; they just all work for him. He can do what he wants. If those gangs owned anything on the market, well now it’s his. You get the idea?65

Captain Kryzios: Working it all behind the scenes, upping the stakes. What you gonna’ do?66

Green Lightning: I’m gonna’ do what I did last time.67

Captain Kryzios: Somehow persuade someone in such a position of power to give up on ‘the take’? (He raises his eyebrow at such a feat.)68

Green Lightning: Maybe. Or maybe I’ll just go to the gang who pay him through Jack-in-a-box and cross them off. We need someone clean to put away the ex-Chief of Justice and then they can start putting jail time on the mob and anyone else. 69

Captain Kryzios: Clean up the streets…70

Green Lightning: (Whispers and then disappears) something like that.71

(Nick Kryzios then realises he’s gone when he hears the distant sound of footsteps and smashes the alarm bell on his table which sets off the security procedures for a suspected breach of the building. He sits back down, wondering what it was all about, clasping the bit of paper. He reads to himself the names as the piercing sound of the alarm rings through the building and can be heard around the block. He knows who he’s going for. He knows what this man or thing is up to and realises he may have an ally in this. He doesn’t know who he looks like or who his name is but one thing he knows is this: The guy is determined to bring down Jack-in-a-box and is going right to his doorstep to do it. Cleaning up the Judges and winning them over again will mean that criminals in high positions will no longer have that invincibility they’ve always assumed they had. Gangs would be getting destroyed at an alarming rate by the police force, headed by Kryzios who would sweep the board with overwhelming evidence against the gangs who got away with everything for decades. 72

The thought of taking on all the gangs in JIAB’s power and crossing them off the map of Metropolis for good is a nice thought but it means that JIAB will inevitably cause even more chaos as a retaliation. It’s becoming a war of escalation.73

*Vespertilio, Zimmer and Newton Howard*74

As the screen opens up again, we watch Green Lightning fly through the air on his hoverboard speeding past skyscrapers and the bright lights from below, the smog can be made out, clouds of pollution strangling the city, the dust up in the air. This world is going to get more shocks. The night is still not over. Not yet. Green Lightning knows his new found alliance to Captain Kryzios is fragile. If he does what he sets out to do though, then he’s cemented it a little more for his purposes and intents. The screeching noise of his hoverboard is awesome; the speed at which he cuts through the air upon the city is astounding. His modified equipment is truly awe-inspiring. His name describes him well. 75

The next thing we see is a drugs deal going on in an open street, which is deserted. Downtown all that can be seen is the lights in houses and the odd cat that passes by. Three cars are on one side, all of them parked up in a curved shape across the four lane road while six purple cars are on the opposite side, all from another gang. The two people talking have about fifteen people between them roughly and unknown to them, someone is about to have serious words with them.)76

Drug dealer: So how about two thousand creds for every one hundred grams man huh?77

Kruger boss: (Winces at a weird sound, a screaming sort of noise that is piercing the air, getting nearer and nearer.) What the fuck is that noise?78

Drug dealer: I dunno (He notices it as well. Then, he looks up and in a half mixed look of unbelieving and shock he points at this bright green figure in the sky swooping down towards them on a jet powered board.) Holy mother of god... what the shitting hell is that? 79

Kruger boss: I don’t know. (Gets his baseball bat out and orders his boys to get their weapons out.) I really don’t know.80

(Two missiles are fired off from the hoverboard as he whips his baton out. The two missiles blow the road in front of them and behind them, so they have no viable means of escape by vehicle. He then jumps off the hoverboard as it gets closer to them, swooping down on his victims with his anger and vengeance. He lets the goons, all armed with knives and bats and other rudimentary weapons encircle him before he starts battling all fifteen of them at once. Turning and hitting, block, hit, block, take down, hit, turn, lift and throw and one by one the goons are being knocked to the floor, smashed through car windows, staggering on the floor, moaning and groaning in helplessness and terrified. The drug dealer and the boss of The Kruger gang just stand there watching. Wetting themselves in utter horror at something they can’t imagine witnessing. Something so real yet hallucinogenic is walking towards them, leaving a trail of destruction behind him, the flames from the missiles that smashed the road up either end are getting worse and they truly are in a hopeless position.81

Green Lightning pushes the Kruger boss away from him and he smashes into the side of the van, the wind taken out of his stomach and slumps to the floor. Then, as the drug dealer starts to beg and plead by kneeling on the floor, tears seen in his eyes Green Lightning picks him up and knees him in the gut. An over the top gasp is heard and then a savage headbutt is then followed by him being pushed to the floor, crumpled up in a heap.)82

Kruger boss: What? Who are you?83

Green Lightning: I’m Green Lightning and I’m busting your outfit.84

Kruger boss: You can’t! (His nose trickling with blood, Green Lightning grabs Kruger and looks into his eyes. He then pauses for a bit before dropping him back down on the floor and going off again. The sirens can be heard.)85

*Plecotus 00:00-01:31, Zimmer and Newton Howard*86

(Meanwhile, the very judge that he’s going after, to intimidate so that he goes clean again and can be used to openly prosecute the gangs and anyone that has had that invincibility about them in the years previous, is enjoying a couple of drinks down a bar with his friends and associates. All of them greying, old men that have nothing to do but moan about the state of the world they live in, forgetting that half the people in the bar are probably on the gangs pay anyway and are in actual fact helping the demise of a rotten society. He gets up to bring another round in, this particular judge has a habit of taking injected drugs and cheating on his poor, suffering wife. Some women towards the far end of the bar he waves at in a lecherous manner, they know how powerful he is and he knows he can get what he wants and when he wants it. He starts to put the order in for the drinks at the rustic old bar, while outside Green Lightning is screaming ahead on his hoverboard, cutting an angry, determined figure, doing hundreds of miles per hour, so fast that he all that can be seen is a green streak gracing the sky in all its beautiful, darkened glory. The camera focuses on the green streak in the sky, while we hear the laughter and noise from the bar. 87

We then see up close to the hoverboard that two missiles are primed and ready. Without any warning whatsoever, some grey smoke starts to fizz out from the back of them and as they start getting warm and they start locking onto their targets, they fizz a little more, before exploding out of their holding bays on the board. They race off, dancing and whirling in the cold air towards their target. One is the car that he gets driven about in by his ‘security’ and the other one starts moving away from direction the first missile is going in and starts whizzing towards the bar roof. The second one has a timer on it though. Delayed by twenty seconds so the first one goes off and then with everyone panicking and in shock, the second will then go off creating a gaping hole for him to dart into and grab the judge.88

One explosion happens as his nice car-pod is blown to smithereens by the missile, killing two of the gangsters inside the car-pod. Its tyres go flying towards the camera, which shakes a little bit with the vibrations of the explosion. A reddish fireball mushrooms up from the impact and the destroyed vehicle. The people in the bar including the target all start running behind and underneath furniture. Isolated screams from women but silence reigns until, the judge’s ears prick up on a loud beeping noise, coming from the wooden rooftop. His face frowns as he tries to figure out what it is and as he does, the roof is blown upwards by a ferocious amount of energy that’s been unleashed by the exploding red and black missile. The rooftop shatters, sharp objects rain down on the people inside it, many getting struck down and injured. The judge scurries between tables like a whimpering dog but as he tries to get to another for relative safety, his legs is pulled and soon he find himself face to face with our vigilante. Our hero of the moment who pulls him up and lifts him by the scruff of his neck up to his height; the short, fat judge has never seen something like him before and starts screaming for help as Green Lightning, still on his hoverboard, dangles him off the ground by about two hundred metres.)89

Green Lightning: YOU LISTEN TO ME! (Sirens and screams can be heard as people start gathering and can see what’s going on up there where Green Lightning is the only thing that is keeping the judge alive by holding onto his collars with his hands, clenched in a fist like grip.) Your pay Judge Friedrich is now the law enforcements! Starts doing the job you’re supposed to be doing! (He roars at him with a violence deep within.)90

Judge Friedrich: Put me down! I’ll do anything! Let go o’ me! (Starts pleading and crying for help.)91

Green Lightning: You’ll be the judge that puts the Kruger gang down for twenty years, every damn one of them. 92

Judge Friedrich: But…93

Green Lightning: It’s why you work for the law now. (On his hoverboard he directs it to calmly float towards a balcony on an apartment block nearby and he throws Judge Friedrich over the balcony railings before looking at him one more time and leaving.)94
