I’ll never understand why you find that funny.
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbYjguZGBw

ELLEN150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88XtBrXgwV
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmY6sok6gV
Bruh.
ELLEN150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcBE60C3v5
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb2yAKcT5g
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAA1MwiUsE

Jason looks at Alexis.
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4paAgnIbm

I don’t know. I was driving, everything was fine, next thing I know my left front wheel comes off.
ADAM150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0tyaBK6L5
Randomly?
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr58yfahWAd
Yeah.

ADAM150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHpxQiWG16
No. I heard he’s on vacation.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhCcSY38p4
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnjREJp3HA
What?
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21zl8zix8w
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?
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNUyC7SXWB
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

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

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf763LGJ7v
Really?
ELLEN150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aBx4Dg0fI
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmZE95lEDj
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.
ELLEN150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH1lLkq4U9
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBwuy9DqBE
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?
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVePIICeO0A
About three years.
ELLEN150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiTDzGrKun
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyRwLs92Co
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37YbTLulGc
That’s what I thought.
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1XJxOc0pz
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a1fM2HPCw
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYcJ7Ekfov
Tee-Hee.

JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CYgRhHJeW
Really, like what?
WORKER150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUY6222Vhu
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.
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtel6pPQhD
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEvwjqHr88
Yeah, it was crazy.

You know my name? How?
The Orphic starts walking toward Jason.
THE ORPHIC150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4DF8d0mSq
Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCvKXL0jrM
What?
THE ORPHIC150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS9DK35I2c
This body, mangled, burned, by your hand.
The Orphic levitates.
THE ORPHIC150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ut7lOLzAC
Time to return the favor.
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y5HkaY1vK

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y7UXEdblZ
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

Uh, let’s see.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ734WQfUl5Q

Yeah. What else does it say?
ADAM150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZCV6IwcFu
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawRG3BNpvN
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8krTXtfiDT
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyA6pepGeA
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLca0CcuOl

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl70zSHGFz
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XlUnwbNN9
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFTp8KAnFk
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH3qM6tHj8
What did you say?
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbYbZOIA0Q
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPGN5G7wla
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNvqOEIN1T
And what happened?
ABRAHAM150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMu9bScYcv
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.
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4bwVzoL0i
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?
ABRAHAM150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2G6yBmnS7
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WZMpGZzda
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7LnsqCyJf
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQevrQnayTP
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.
ADAM150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv0NxrSoRP
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.

Oh fuck.
ADAM150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23fUGXe46f
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmWOzogqUM
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.
ELLEN150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DDgiQK6KT
Thank God you’re awake.

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.
ELLEN150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgFKHzrnPu
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4SBNhCiJa
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUTxMnOclR
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAm681Pk1M
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wRV6KVZik
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.
