Done Playing

[Pennyworth]

The camera opens facing a fairly opulent desk at which a woman is sitting. She is staring at the camera, with occasional glances at a door behind her, and to a spot to her left. She appears to be fairly nervous at the camera crew, but is allowing it to film regardless.

After a few moments, the sound of a door opening off camera is heard, and the young woman breathes a sigh of relief, looking off to her left before her eyes widen in shock. Pennyworth walks into the frame, his current state of mind being fairly apparent. He's still wearing a suit, but there is no tie, and part of the shirt is untucked. His pocket square is haphazarly unfolded, and looks to be in danger of falling out of its pocket. It isn't apparent at first, but his watch is somehow put on backwards, with the face of it pointing towards his wrist. He walks over to the desk and the young woman, sighs, and leans on the desk.

PENNYWORTH: Anything, Sophie?

SOPHIE: Uh, no sir. None of the PIs have been able to find anything. But, uh, sir, it seems a camera crew from PWA has arrived. Something about a contractual interview time?

She points at the camera, and Pennyworth looks behind him, doing a double take when he sees the camera crew already filming. He shakes his head and turns to face the camera fully.

PENNYWORTH: So, the PWA Armada wants an interview, does it Terry? Well, how's this for an interview. Spoiler is in my business. He's affecting my life, and the lives of my employees. He knows things he shouldn't, things he can't possibly know. And until I end that threat, until I destroy that man once and for all, I cannot rest. Spoiler, I'm coming for you. And since you appear to know the future, you should know how this is going to end. I'm not playing anymore, Spoiler. You...you should run.

PENNYWORTH: We good now, Terry? I've got an identity to discover.

He doesn't wait for an answer, but turns his back on the camera, grabs a stack of papers being held out by Sophie, and walks through the door behind her, slamming it shut with finality.

TERRY SCHNEIDER (off-camera): Uh, that's a cut, I guess.

Scene cuts.
