The Penguin Episode 4 “Cent'Anni” Synopsis

Episode Written by: John McCutcheon

Episode Directed By: Helen Shaver

Under the gunpoint of Nadia Maroni and her men, Oz Cobb pleads for his life, explaining that he was only working with Sofia Falcone to get access to her drug business. But Nadia doesn’t believe him and reveals to Sofia that Oz is the murderer of her brother Alberto. As Victor arrives and saves Oz, Sofia calls Dr Julian Rush to help her.

Sofia recalls the events that led to her time in Arkham State Hospital. Ten years ago after being approached by Summer Gleeson from the Gotham Gazette, Sofia realised her father, Carmine Falcone, could be behind her mothers death and six other women connected to his business. But Sofia tells the reporter she’s investigating the wrong man and leaves the meeting.

When Oz Cobb, her driver at the time, reports the meeting to Carmine, Sofia is brought before the family leader. She tries to have a conversation with her father so he can clear her mind of suspicion but Carmine sends her home with Oz.

But on the way home, the GCPD arrest Sofia for the murder of the Gotham Gazette reporter and all the other women. Due to written letters from her father and most of her leading family members, Sofia is committed to Arkham State Hospital for a six month evaluation ahead of her trial. 

Under the watchful eye of Dr Ventris and his assistant Dr. Julian Rush a brutal incarceration follows with Sofia being subjected to a violent beating by another inmate and results in her receiving daily electroshock therapy. 

After the six months her brother Alberto tells Sofia that Dr. Ventris has deemed her unfit for trial and she is to remain in Arkham State Hospital. In the present day, now free, Sofia discusses her predicament with Dr Rush, who convinces her she needs a break.

She returns to the Falcone family home and surrounded by all the heads of the family she calls them out for their part in her incarceration. She announces her plans to start a new life as she doesn’t fit into the family anymore.

Late that night, Sofia enacts her plan, using gas to suffocate all the members of her family apart from her most hated rival Johnny Viti. She holds him at gunpoint while they discuss Sofia’s next steps.
