JENKINS195Please respect copyright.PENANA8XwfDYkf09
(concerned; to Walker) What uh... What power did he have?
WALKER195Please respect copyright.PENANAVS2Qmj84ZN
(afraid; to Jenkins) Some sort of screaming ability... it was noisy... so loud...
(With the information provided by the Walker; Jenkins confirms the suspect is not his son; and may potentially match Ox)

(shocked; to John) Ox is struggling financially... that’s why?
JENKINS195Please respect copyright.PENANArILHFjLcNw
(looks at all sons) Jared is right... This Ox.. I had no idea he had this ability... I just thought he was like every other human... but no, there’s people out there like us.... with super abilities. He’s robbing people because he’s struggling financially. The police couldn’t stop him; Ox would deafen them and possibly kill them... I’m just...
JORDAN195Please respect copyright.PENANAxNjcgFYVSJ
(to Jenkins) Dad... We have to stop them... We have to...
JENKINS195Please respect copyright.PENANANGvGmJMbMx
(to Jordan) Jordan... He’ll deafen us... and make our abilities go violent.. possibly not yours or Jared’s... he will deafen you both like every other person. But John and I - he will make our abilities go dangerous...
JORDAN195Please respect copyright.PENANAMVwwkDinOn
(to Jenkins) How can we stop him? He’s committing crime to innocent people Dad. Like you said, the police couldn’t stop him; they would be powerless. I will risk my ears to stop a bad man... After all, it’s my retribution for being a bad brother to Jared before...
JENKINS195Please respect copyright.PENANAYhWx1nbhEn
(to Jordan) No Jordan... No... It’s good you want to be a brave man and fight crime - but I don’t want you to be deafened... No...
JORDAN195Please respect copyright.PENANAcndskHto8D
(begs Jenkins) Please Dad... Please...
JENKINS195Please respect copyright.PENANAUmonemZ1Uj
(firmly; to Jordan) I SAID NO-
(Jordan becomes upset by Jenkins’ blessing; and speed-runs to his room. Jared and John looks at their father)
JENKINS195Please respect copyright.PENANAmX8e47z3mF
(to Jared & John) I can’t do that to Jordan... no... It’s good he wants to be a hero... but at what cost... lose his hearing, die... As a father, I can’t let that happen...
JARED & JOHN195Please respect copyright.PENANA0FHIjYW7L5
(to Jenkins) We understand Dad... We do...
JENKINS195Please respect copyright.PENANACnwCKZwS2Q
(to Jared & John) I just... Jordan will get over it. He will... I just...
JARED195Please respect copyright.PENANAacx4HIvPDR
(to Jenkins) Dad... Dad just sit down and watch the telly... You need to relax and forget what happened...
JENKINS195Please respect copyright.PENANA58gqEgb9wo
(to Jared & John) You’re right... I might just do that-
(HOURS PAST AT NIGHTTIME; Jenkins sits down on the 3-seater red lounge in the living room - watching the telly. 15 minutes later; he falls asleep on the lounge)
