Oh sorry, I forget not to joke with you like that.

I’ll never understand why you find that funny.
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2ae7EsPec

ELLEN226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPclfc7KYKP
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqGRjAtzr9
Bruh.
ELLEN226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRa3MEpAvw
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc1zBXNTB8
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsArQTfguXq

A loud BANG is heard. The car leans down on the front left side. It makes a scraping sound. It comes to a halt.
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ177qnaYjHW

What did you hit?
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq9lDsao96
Nothing. There wasn’t anything.

Jason looks at Alexis.
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NYmnTAdAw

I don’t know. I was driving, everything was fine, next thing I know my left front wheel comes off.
ADAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO65tkRXfN
Randomly?
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLYTqATVFd
Yeah.

Hey. By any chance, can you help me look into something?
ADAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvitcfaqPZO

ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPcM7vUmhB

ADAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A7nKYTVh0
No. I heard he’s on vacation.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlIPzMoWKG
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FLZLgntAx
What?
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdit0rvIr0I
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?
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtMs8sa8ul
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BnQ8VI9gU

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ruGLOlPhW
Really?
ELLEN226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6dEyHexLh
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtwVHEKrcf
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.
ELLEN226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xfnWWMOgP
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p5cVaubO6
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?
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg05icp4gS
About three years.
ELLEN226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdk7K004rs
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OusN3Qj5o
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkwE9VmRmy
That’s what I thought.
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7bXOIv0n7
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsTeFPnUVY
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw62DZhWXJ

JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZfUHCFeBW
Really, like what?
WORKER226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvjM9HwtSF
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.
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oIKU0XeGc
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXsUa6RTJa
Yeah, it was crazy.

You know my name? How?
The Orphic starts walking toward Jason.
THE ORPHIC226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIXQX952t9
Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HH9DV4JUN
What?
THE ORPHIC226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjivWQqH0vu
This body, mangled, burned, by your hand.
The Orphic levitates.
THE ORPHIC226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2vpCtaPsA
Time to return the favor.
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cg9isdxKo
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
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q6HOGSoQ2
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

ADAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxtyv2GJuk
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVQ5P0DApC
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRNwB0n7kg
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL4doZ0O1f
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVWOYcR3Vn

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknSOYcUKQn
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrl2KZq6hY
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC1k86QvbY
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNjfra5oxe
What did you say?
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpxDnCiRQG
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna8t5WQLhx
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB2FYBD5vv
And what happened?
ABRAHAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LzkMrAIMK
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.
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeh1Fq9G65
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?
ABRAHAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ6zSQ0dPt
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89tfSH8wau
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7aGjpkli5
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTLWSUA3Ic
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.

I am The Orphic. This city, this world, is mine!
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.
ADAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzmfySMwJC
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPtWJM3yUV
Oh fuck.
ADAM226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jTgZU4sQI
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyWYQQrdKh
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.
ELLEN226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbbHzHf3Ke
Thank God you’re awake.
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJvGLh73r4
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.
ELLEN226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4l61Z2AZi
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe23BoHUs0
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJXCH8FZHy
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0lyf8hJzU
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyal7v0oQkv
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.
