Ririko took a deep breath and decided to deal with Bruce's situation first, then handle this shameless bastard.
She silently marked it down against him, then turned to Philip. "So what are you going to do next?"
Philip made a gesture inviting Jeremiah to speak, handing the conversation back to him.
Jeremiah calmly brought up the crux of the matter. "If someone really had plastic surgery to look like Bruce, he must want something Bruce has."
He looked at Ririko. "Who do you think... wants what Bruce has the most?"
Ririko laughed. "Isn't that obvious? Who in Gotham doesn't want what Bruce has?"

Philip rubbed his chin, seriously considering the plan's feasibility:
"Jeremiah is right. We'll wait
