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

I’ll never understand why you find that funny.
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq0Jj3M4Uk
It's an acquired sense of humor so I hope you never do.

How have you been?
ELLEN182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2I1psUrzS
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENKGpGKNzy
Bruh.
ELLEN182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8W8BMKzAA
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRB8NSS4HG
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi9RJzHGQg

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

JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOIhy1qhAm

I don’t know. I was driving, everything was fine, next thing I know my left front wheel comes off.
ADAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ks64IwFhE
Randomly?
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sAIlfYRaz
Yeah.

Hey. By any chance, can you help me look into something?
ADAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cp1t8fkrf

ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalf1GXl6bL

ADAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVBqTosOyc
No. I heard he’s on vacation.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltnutWDUgQ
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN17XTpJ9o
What?
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wQpK2Dw8O
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?
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLowqwAMgXX
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpgW10A0VM
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-

JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJxO0ynbhp
So how are things in New York?

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbGVyqqEjD
Really?
ELLEN182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5WS4jr1NP
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlUu2qdB32
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.
ELLEN182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr69RS4whtR
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYask5UdmRt
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?
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlWteGsjsd
About three years.
ELLEN182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNj9jVEOEm
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtEn0i4Gnz
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjlrRUfdVh
That’s what I thought.
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy8XBiWGcu
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8rNL0A26f
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxUwJU4ty0

JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KnP5SmMm7
Really, like what?
WORKER182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho1Wom9fs4
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.
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePG5zrVzju
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XkSrwTdfC
Yeah, it was crazy.

Old wounds die hard. Jason.
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gjCQXFIOW
You know my name? How?
The Orphic starts walking toward Jason.
THE ORPHIC182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J6qi4PQXy
Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ972l4HBUm
What?
THE ORPHIC182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAwNxbaBAZ
This body, mangled, burned, by your hand.
The Orphic levitates.
THE ORPHIC182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSUZPOUfwH
Time to return the favor.
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDbL82dKuj
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
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtiujsKZhA
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

Uh, let’s see.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8hYFggYwx

ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4vVpBqVtx
Yeah. What else does it say?
ADAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoIzB3iKtD
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3hDZwRbjc
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTHNAcpusv
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XOt3dmKIz
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VkwUjmwhe
I think I’m going to have to make a call.

ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfgrNMPP30
Hey, rude.
INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ABRAHAM

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW5msUT93I
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aCFrgpnpW
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDMAVVg9fr
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6aISbHcoa
What did you say?
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9XeFrcTum
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZVRjkX016
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVfYdWqOND
And what happened?
ABRAHAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiGY5dT4IW
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.
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0UC7e76Fh
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?
ABRAHAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKF4wVSOPI
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFmOUWNz4W
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02sDeqBA2U
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrj6CHZSgw
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.

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.
ADAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpweHvW497X
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.

Oh fuck.
ADAM182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoQFLBhbpG
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qVpjWUbLo
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.
ELLEN182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwn2mhu2hU
Thank God you’re awake.
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ5LLmaKpd
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.
ELLEN182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm8qq5TpAI
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznCKK0KKpO
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HRLZFmO9O
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX8P4IR96W
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3BLErxMVA
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.
