..::PREVIOUSLY IN THE LIFE OF JIMMY ZANE::..
(Jimmy hangs up and sits there a little longer. He decides to stay and gets out of his car. He walks in the back door and into the kitchen. He opens the fridge and is leaning down, looking for something to eat. He grabs a few things and just as he is about to stand up, he hears someone in the room.)
Man - Marie, is that you?
(Jimmy stands up and turns around and sees someone he hasn't seen in years. His eyes widen and his jaw drops. He drops a jar of mayonnaise on the floor as the scene suddenly fades to black.)
..::BACK TO PRESENT::..
(Jimmy stands there, frozen. His eyes meet the man's eyes and the both stand there, dumbfounded. After all these years, he can't believe what he is seeing, so many thoughts are racing through his head that he can't even begin to fathom them all.)
[How the hell did this happen? Has my mom been keeping this a secret from me this whole time? Has she been lying to me? How?]
(The men both continue to stand there, neither of them speaking. The man's eyes begin to tear up..)
Dad?
(The man, indeed Jimmy's father, stands there weeping. The legendary Punisher, standing before his son, alive and well, sobbing like a newborn baby.)
Punisher - Son....
(Jimmy, all pent up with emotion and confusion, walks out the back door and to his car. His father tries to follow him.)
Punisher - Jimmy....JIMMY!
(Jimmy gets in his car and starts up the engine. He looks at his own father with hatred, disgust, and outright anger. He throws his car into reverse and squeals the tires as he quickly speeds backwards. He throws it into first gear and fishtails a little as he speeds down the drive and out into the street. His car spins sideways as he tries to correct his steering. He snaps back into the lane and speeds off. He can almost feel his blood boiling as he races home and into the garage of his apartment. As he puts the car in park, he sits there breathing as heavy as if he had just wrestled an entire match. Tears begin streaming down his eyes as he slams his hand against the steering wheel.)
NO!
(He begins beating his hand against the wheel harder as he screams out.)
NO! NO! NO! NO! THAT SON OF A BITCH!
(Jimmy flings the car door open and gets out. He slams it shut and walks up the stairs into his apartment. He walks in, and sees nothing but red. A picture of him and his father on the wall catches his eye. He walks over, rips it down and crashes the frame onto the floor. He then goes on a rampage through his house, trashing and destroying anything and everything that ever meant anything to him and his father. He finally loses steam in his bedroom and begins to feel a bit dizzy. As he goes to sit on the bed, he blacks out and faints, falling face first on the bed. The scene fades as the camera zooms in on his unconscious body.)
..::TWO HOURS LATER::..
(Jimmy feels a hand patting lightly on his face. A gargled voice calls out to him.)
Jimmy. Jimmy. Wakeup.
(His eyes flutter as he tries to wake up. His body feels drained and beaten as he finally opens his eyes. As he begins to focus, he realizes that the hand on his face and the voice calling to him are from his mother.)
Mom?
Marie VoDou - Yes, Jimmy, it's me. Are you ok?
Yeah, I just had this really weird dream. I was at your house waiting for you and I turned around and Dad was there. It was just too rea....
(Suddenly, his father walks in the room with a glass of water in his hand.)
Punisher - Is he ok?
(Jimmy springs up out of the bed and stands up. Still a bit off kilter, he wobbles a bit. His father reaches out to help him.)
Don't you ****ing touch me! All this time I have stood up for your name. I have stood up for who I thought you were. I have cried myself to sleep more times than I can remember because I lost you. And now, you just walk back into my life and want to be my father again? You have lost your damn mind, old man!
Punisher - Now listen, Jimmy.
TO HELL WITH LISTENING AND TO HELL WITH YOU!!
I listened to everything you ever taught me, but that was never good enough for you. Everything always had to be about the almighty Punisher. It had to be about you. It was never about me and you ****ing know it. So now, I am supposed to just welcome you with open arms because you felt like you wanted to be around again?
YOU FAKED YOUR DAMN DEATH!
I can see wanting to get away from the rat race of this business. I can see getting away from commitments that you didn't want anymore. But getting away from your own family just so you could live your life is a bunch of bull****. I am your only child, and dammit...
I NEEDED YOU!
Punisher - I understand that you...
Don't give me that I understand bull****! Did your dad fake his own death and leave you and your mom high ahd dry? Leaving you asking God night after night why you he had to take you, only to find out later on that it was all bull****? You don't understand a *** damned thing! There were matches where I could have used your guidance. There were times when I could have looked to you for help, to point me in the right direction. There were times that a son needed his father...
AND I HAD NOTHING!
So don't stand there and give me that I understand bull**** because I ain't buying it anymore!
Punisher - Don't I get to explain?
Explain what? That you completely walked out on your family because you were tired of your life? Good luck explaining that to anyone, asshole! Good luck explaining that to someone who will understand it. Because there isn't anything on this planet that will make me believe a damn word you got to say!
(Jimmy storms past his father and to the living room. He grabs his coat and car keys and then opens the closet door and grabs his bag to head to the airport.)
Punisher - Where the hell do you think you are going?
To the top! I got a match with one of the best wrestlers in the world this weekend, and I am going to win it. I am going to push forward, move up, and take my rightful place at the top of nCw!
(Jimmy swings the door open and heads down the stairs to the garage. His father appears at the top of the steps.)
Punisher - YOU CAN'T WIN, JIMMY!
(Jimmy stops at the bottom step. He stands there for a moment and then turns around and looks up at his father.)
Yeah, well, you can't be alive either, right?
(Jimmy shakes his head and walks to his car. He tosses his bag in the passenger seat and closes the door. As he cranks up the engine he presses the garage door opener. The door opens and he pulls out into the daylight. As he pulls off the garage door closes. He is silent for most of the ride. As the feelings, emotions, and everything else begins to boil over inside, he begins to speak into the camera.)
Well, Falcon, add even more weight to this match, huh? It turns out that the man who I called my father is alive. After all this time of grieving, the pain, the tears, the son of a bitch shows up in my life on the week of my biggest match. I am sure you will say I told you so, or some other wonderful cliche'. The more and more I think about it, the more I scream inside. Unfortunately for you, it's going to be birdboy with all that anger being taken out on him. It's going to be you that feels the brunt of the frustration, anger, and downright anger I have flowing through my veins right now.
TIME FOR IT ALL TO COME CRASHING DOWN!
My mind is swamped with memories, both good and bad, and yet, the only thing I can think about is maiming you this Sunday. It's going to be one of the most brutal matches of the year, I have no doubt. But I promise to you with everything I am, and everything I thought I was, I will brutalize you like no other man has ever done before. You called down the thunder, well now you got it! A thunder so loud that it will bust your eardrums. An earth shattering thunderclap of epic proportions, and trust me when I tell you, Falcon.....
I WILL WIN THIS MATCH!
I know I have said it so many times before, and always end up on the losing end. But this time will be different. Why will it be different? Well, the answer is quite simple, Falcon. Because you have nothing to lose. You have held every title this company has to offer, and have been awarded every accolade given out by management. I on the other hand, have everything to gain, and everything to lose.
MY WHOLE CAREER IS RIDING ON BEATING YOU!
Nobody will take me seriously if I am beating the Joe Everyman's of the world. Nobody will take me seriously if I am beating the Fergus Callaghan's, Ace's, or Sexy Jason's of the world. It won't happen because they aren't taken seriously. I have to beat the top names in this company to be take seriously, Falcon. That's why I will win this match. Because I am tired of being a joke. Tired of being the "also-ran". I am flat out tired of being...
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN!
I own victories over the Icon, Lance Ryan, Gib, the World Champion Angel, Nelly Angel, Former nCw Champions Xavier Williams, The Ace, and Jack Hammond. But I haven't beaten you, have I? I haven't beaten the Immortal Falcon.
BUT I WILL!
And after I beat you, I will have my eyes squarely set on the Colosseum match. Like the advertisement says...
THE BIGGEST MATCH..
THE BIGGEST NAMES..
ONE NIGHT..
ONE CHANCE..
TO BECOME IMMORTAL!
It seems to me you got no reason to be in that match, Falcon. After all, you are already immortal! (Jimmy gives a sly wink to the camera.)But not after this week. I will prove to you, and the world, that you are a mortal man like no other, my friend. I will prove to the world that you are just as human as any of us.
I WILL PROVE THAT YOU ARE FLESH AND BLOOD JUST LIKE ME!
The end is coming, Falcon....
THE END IS NEAR!
(Jimmy pulls into the parking lot at the airport. He grabs his bag and exits his car, locking the doors as he walks away. As he walks into the airport terminal, the scene fades to black.)
