How have you been?
ELLEN138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgBU9Yw8hx
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZPoMsbJPj
Bruh.
ELLEN138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCfcOrB3Xl
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt9HXgBc72
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVdmcG5QuF

What did you hit?
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0jCG5MLBg
Nothing. There wasn’t anything.

What are you looking at?
Jason looks at Alexis.
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhpWpkMoH0

I don’t know. I was driving, everything was fine, next thing I know my left front wheel comes off.
ADAM138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM49uf6ezV
Randomly?

ADAM138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2wb6o9WTp
No. I heard he’s on vacation.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil9Kx47pod
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTa55DZf39
What?
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJfVViA50G
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?
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLroY8XTPKi
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXBRnv7kVl

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXD8hIiOyZ
Really?
ELLEN138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7nLnjuxuo
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafVt778CET
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.
ELLEN138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz5X3MdTGP
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMilQBp7LE
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.

JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8PDmGQvpJ
About three years.
ELLEN138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJguzYH2JJu
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IcAKw4H4O
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWrYH8d4iF
That’s what I thought.
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd7RuNJr7f
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNWcc3M7Fr
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRnK6Oibkz

JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9v8ju67gt
Really, like what?
WORKER138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0i17XgP5e
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.
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt02qKcTo2I
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe30aE6W3Fp
Yeah, it was crazy.

You know my name? How?
The Orphic starts walking toward Jason.
THE ORPHIC138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuR7mvaWCW
Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCUWymI1SV
What?
THE ORPHIC138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMeG6decRH
This body, mangled, burned, by your hand.
The Orphic levitates.
THE ORPHIC138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23wyhMyKCa
Time to return the favor.
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQOrYfkgPL
No way.
Jason and The Orphic fight. Jason throws punches at The Orphic. The Orphic blocks them all. Jason goes for a spinning kick.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39TfJf4b6A
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

ADAM138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZACY3d8oD
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cwoi3WaQu
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLO3D5L0f1
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AB1mL8L8o
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDHzapuMXP

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAj5qnOUiB
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbWujiJve8
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEZLB7xd4C
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Rnnp6CXt
What did you say?
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1emKHX5qC1
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL6E9pSFrV
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ma93YJDSd
And what happened?
ABRAHAM138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrunHAXybEC
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.
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFML3B48UE
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?
ABRAHAM138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9rj7ixG07
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57XOYIY9nN
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrq9cjAt17
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G7jSj2jQY

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.
ADAM138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsr1Ccpf39
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.

Oh fuck.
ADAM138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O6KCjvrDQ
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVfL2bteen
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.
ELLEN138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICtyTNkjU3
Thank God you’re awake.
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETWVV5D7zU
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.
ELLEN138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaobAuQb6pN
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3yrBHbJjQ
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUZGFXNFiO
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEmOJ0SBmX
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4lvIymXSF
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.
