ELLEN217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2RMiYKTIN
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmFr9VASQk
Bruh.
ELLEN217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgReUrQ34s
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlxO5g2XW0
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wnoeug5pd

JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gndMmVPa0

I don’t know. I was driving, everything was fine, next thing I know my left front wheel comes off.
ADAM217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWco9BI8xM
Randomly?
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRQJBDZdIo
Yeah.

ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4a8P89HZj

ADAM217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvkGl2Hv8T
No. I heard he’s on vacation.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jb7aEIeJk
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiQT2MeFpu
What?
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfVFUiAyZt
Something isn’t adding up. Montoya wouldn’t just go on vacation without telling us, especially not in the middle of a cartel trying to take over the city.
ADAM
So what do you think happened?
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7rNUJQrUq
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd679DIyzm
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-

JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgchMqFfrwb

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVSQfHaxqZ
Really?
ELLEN217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWFqlausja
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOrkKb8B7a
Yeah, sometimes. But I prefer how quiet Deacon is compared to New York. I mean, until recently, that is. Gave me flashbacks to New York.
ELLEN217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW945ApGYz0
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJvp2tHcVY
It’s a mixed bag. I grew up there but a lot happened too. I actually didn’t want to leave New York, not after everything that happened so it’s nice to hear that it’s doing well.
A GT V8 Mustang pulls up next to them. A 20-year-old male is in the driver's seat. He looks at Ellen and revs the engine.

Bitch! I was waiting for that. How long were you waiting to do that?
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNmZDEJrAc
About three years.
ELLEN217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsxzKfgQ2q
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EBE566i2k
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4tETasaBg
That’s what I thought.
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSBsSZh8wD
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB64OAQ1zYk
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcruSxWHZBl

JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ063GgwHadw
Really, like what?
WORKER217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEog8udW8O
The other day, I was walking down Main Street when a strong gust of wind just blew through. It was so random because it was so calm then all of a sudden, bam.
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxUC51N25e
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbq2fXjRuZ
Yeah, it was crazy.

JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4utiuFFHs
You know my name? How?
The Orphic starts walking toward Jason.
THE ORPHIC217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWbSTl0Tc7
Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAzUmatU15
What?
THE ORPHIC217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIaeFAB45M
This body, mangled, burned, by your hand.
The Orphic levitates.
THE ORPHIC217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAqfx2iUpC
Time to return the favor.
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH1pZqCGCK
No way.
Jason and The Orphic fight. Jason throws punches at The Orphic. The Orphic blocks them all. Jason goes for a spinning kick.
The Orphic blocks it. Jason backs up. He charges at The Orphic. The Orphic is gone. Jason looks around.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9rX61dn2c
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

Uh, let’s see.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVt5yGBDLP

Yeah. What else does it say?
ADAM217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj5VP4BdvL
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgzGfkj6Vg
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHsApgOZWv
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyYIKlv9aL
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRH7hu62os
I think I’m going to have to make a call.

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o3WaQyIe8
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxZkQBwgHB
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpp2TEPKA8
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcacs5M8fl8
What did you say?
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fKzFWiBFv
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse71JUOOAk
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY9goCqUCs
And what happened?
ABRAHAM217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0V6v7MWVG
It worked, they were faster, stronger, more resilient. Super soldiers. But it got canceled because the syndicate found out about it, and the CIA didn’t want to risk the project getting into their hands. What exactly happened over there?
Beat.
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7bM0T1TEv
We got the file from Helix Genetics. A witness that was there said, Javier Madrazo activated a sphere that caused the blast. Would you know anything about a sphere?
ABRAHAM217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOJm4PEnwK
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JfdZBfipt
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ogApAUUSF
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFyoRk4mKU
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.

He raises his hand and it glows red. He’s about to strike when more 212 operators fire at The Orphic. Jason gets away.
Reeves is hiding behind cover. He looks over to see The Orphic glow red and release a large blast. He goes back underneath the cover.
The cover is eviscerated, knocking Reeves down. When Reeves looks up The Orphic is gone.
Alexis runs to Adam and Ricky.

Are you guys okay?
Ricky is on the floor groveling in pain. He’s grabbing his shoulder cap.
ADAM217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIAoiUhJEl
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV8K4dpeOh
Oh fuck.
ADAM217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsrK15CSdi
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNyEDiZZEg
I don’t know.
Not too far, Jason collapses. He touches his shoulder.

Ellen!
Jason blacks out.

INT. JASON’S BUNKER - MORNING
Jason wakes up. His vision is blurry. He’s looking at the roof. He looks around and sees a blurry figure.
It gets up and walks toward him. Jason’s vision clears. It’s Ellen. Jason sits up. He doesn’t have his mask on.
ELLEN217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdivwMNDEZ
Thank God you’re awake.
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKXYXqjVRX
How long was I out for? What happened?
Ellen turns on a TV. Isabella Valdez is on the TV. Jason sits up.

Tragedy be-felled Nicholas Reeves’ address to the city last night when a mysterious man who calls himself The Orphic, interrupted the speech killing at least seven Task Force 212 operators and fourteen people who were in attendance and injuring many more.
The TV shows the footage of The Orphic.

The motivation of The Orphic is unclear but what is clear is that he’s not here in peace. In other news the rumors of a vigilante operating in the shadows has been seemingly confirmed as showcased by The Orphic last night. The Raven, a victim in The Orphic’s attack. Who is this Raven and why is he doing this? But more importantly, is he still alive or not.
Ellen turns off the TV. She looks at Jason.
ELLEN217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMdm8zsENE
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeAUtbhEEy
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5DU1JFeCo
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3idtgWetKy
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVp1l9d0Wq
All that training, practicing, learning, and I could barely touch him, I’m not good enough to beat The Orphic. But this city is in danger so I can’t stop, I won’t stop until he’s dead.
