ELLEN106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eNxV2uYSX
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg5C7iWTLQ
Bruh.
ELLEN106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqcgtqRW7m
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrekKOqX6W2
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmiHvYBIQL

Jason looks at Alexis.
JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNZKUHslhk

I don’t know. I was driving, everything was fine, next thing I know my left front wheel comes off.
ADAM106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UqofM3gZI
Randomly?

ADAM106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX7jY2MVL1
No. I heard he’s on vacation.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYQBuJQaHr
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIPYsVTOmu
What?
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAykcSY7vql
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?
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEiaLxu4WU
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbZ2u28wMG

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD24ZKJjWt
Really?
ELLEN106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tfEpv7niO
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd1r7nhIuj
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.
ELLEN106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ju0umlxKa
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDXtLvdBEi
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.

JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhYT51ANRt
About three years.
ELLEN106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4TJfQMSbs
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIjm7OAr5b
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gyeaZiCIv
That’s what I thought.
JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO2imQM0vT
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXgYa8YeXd
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fozsE3Rc6

JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKTsNSIDOM
Really, like what?
WORKER106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukeRpAKuCH
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.
JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot7plDpEIo
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP1fO11TJf
Yeah, it was crazy.

You know my name? How?
The Orphic starts walking toward Jason.
THE ORPHIC106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wfhSsMOjs
Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFJgk4Y98Y
What?
THE ORPHIC106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVUgu27rru
This body, mangled, burned, by your hand.
The Orphic levitates.

Time to return the favor.
JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoCTGEttTO
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
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6GikRP7U4
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

ADAM106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rgCUdqLzS
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1CJwXAqFO
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqplnvnEBDL
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmONeQ7tjF
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc0sFH0f9n

Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmANgB67hh
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDl9kmcAfg
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtM1d9bGe6
What did you say?
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXSiLwEsBr
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEwSYGzdiN
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKbhyU7CXy
And what happened?
ABRAHAM106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bOHT1jVdV
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.
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfjkyZx763
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?
ABRAHAM106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAOJjHlnLv
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wTxWdKJYF
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdxrcAY9jy
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKRVqhx8YF
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.
ADAM106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyn9zIdIRJ
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.

Oh fuck.
ADAM106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWTosJ8vMp
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWayzvJjzu
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.
ELLEN106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26S8basV18
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.
ELLEN106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuLBvAeKVB
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYXHY0ZgZL
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj7crRvvJU
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn7BXqffjF
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5spvYUWlY
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.
