Justice in the Shadows

INT. LAWYER'S OFFICE - NIGHT

The office is dimly lit, with files and books scattered around. A tall, lean figure, MR. CLARK, stands by the window, looking out into the night.

MR. CLARK: (muttering to himself) Another one walks free... Not on my watch.

INT. DARK ALLEY - NIGHT

Mr. Clark, dressed in dark clothing, confronts a THUG, the person he had defended in court earlier that day.

THUG: (smirking) Thought you were my lawyer, not my executioner.

MR. CLARK: Justice has many faces. Yours just ran out of luck.

INT. LAWYER'S OFFICE - DAY

Mr. Clark is sitting across from a NEW CLIENT, who looks nervous and scared.

NEW CLIENT: I... I did what they say I did. Can you still help me?

MR. CLARK: (leaning forward) Tell me everything. The truth has a way of coming out, one way or another.

INT. DARK ALLEY - NIGHT

Mr. Clark confronts another guilty client, this one a WEALTHY BUSINESSMAN, who he had helped acquit on a technicality.

WEALTHY BUSINESSMAN: (begging) Please, you can't do this! I paid you!

MR. CLARK: (coldly) Your money bought silence, not absolution. Justice demands balance.

INT. LAWYER'S OFFICE - DAY

Detective JONES confronts Mr. Clark, suspicion evident in his eyes.

DETECTIVE JONES: Your clients... they have a habit of disappearing.

MR. CLARK: (smiling) Is that so? I'm just a lawyer, detective. I deal in legal outcomes, not moral judgments.

INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - NIGHT

Mr. Clark faces off against his most challenging opponent yet, a SERIAL KILLER he had unknowingly helped acquit.

SERIAL KILLER: (laughing maniacally) You think you're better than me? We're the same!

MR. CLARK: (steadying his weapon) There's one difference... I'm here to end this cycle.

INT. LAWYER'S OFFICE - DAY

Detective Jones returns, this time with undeniable evidence of Mr. Clark's vigilante justice.

DETECTIVE JONES: Got you, Clark. You're under arrest for the murders of...

MR. CLARK: (interrupting) The guilty. I did what the law couldn't. I gave them the justice they deserved.

DETECTIVE JONES: (handcuffing him) That's not for you to decide. Justice isn't a one-man show.

INT. JAIL CELL - NIGHT

Mr. Clark sits in a cell, a small smile on his face as he looks out the window at the moon.

MR. CLARK: (whispering to himself) Justice... in the shadows.

The screen fades to black.
