Boy Wonder Page #4

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.

- Do you understand? - I wanted him go

to his room! That's exactly what I mean!

Believe it or not, he's gonna f***ing listen

to me when I tell him to do something!

Say that one more f***ing time.

You touch him again...

and I will f***ing kill you!

Giving me orders now?

Is that what you're f***ing doing?

Who the f*** do you think

you are talking to?

My f***ing house, and I don't like the way

you f***ing said it!

Just shut your f***ing mouth!

So what do you think?

About what?

About his story.

I think a drug dealer got

popped and he's dead.

That's what I think.

Want anything?

No, I'm good.

I also think that more than likely

that little criminal in there killed him.

But of course we're never

going to know that because as usual...

nobody saw nothin'

and we got no murder weapon.

So you don't believe anything

he said about that other guy?

No.

What I know...

is that a patrol car saw

our boy and the victim,

working their usual spot

the night of the murder.

Couple of hours later,

Tony's dead.

And the next night...

junior mafia in there

takes over the business.

My money's on him.

Tony was a pretty

serious guy.

It's a little ambitious for

that kid. He's too young.

Did you grow up in

a big family, Ames?

Yeah, I did.

Why?

- That explains it.

- Explains what?

You've got

"look at me" syndrome.

- What?

- Oh, yeah.

Yeah, you come from

a big family, see,

so it's hard for you

to get attention.

It's hard for Mommy and Daddy

to notice you.

- Really?

- Yeah.

So you gotta make a big deal

out of everything.

- Oh, boy. - No, I mean you

gotta over achieve.

You have to excel

at all costs.

- "Look at me" syndrome.

- I see.

And you've deduced this from what?

Me wanting to do my job?

Or should I say,

wanting to do our job.

All I'm saying is...

don't make more out of this

than it actually is.

Look, there are a hundred people

out there that wanted Tony dead.

He was a true piece of sh*t,

drug-dealing pedophile,

I might add.

But in the end...

killer is usually the first guy

that comes to mind.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Thank you. It's great.

Homicide 101. I can manage.

- I'm just trying to help.

- You wanna help me?

- Yeah. - Go get me some coffee.

That's how you can help me.

Only if you come with me.

Here.

What's his story?

Who, Sean?

Man.

Mother got her head blown off

right in front of his face.

Like 10 years ago.

Car jacking.

- That's horrible.

- Yeah.

He's been coming in here

ever since then.

Baldwin lets him look

at mug shots,

see if the guy got grabbed

for something else.

So he just let's him come in

and use the computer unattended?

That's not exactly
