JASON33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9AhNAbuGr
How have you been?
ELLEN33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrNA5z4xMG
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJmYEPpOaY
Bruh.
ELLEN33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqXt2ta5zx
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.

Alexis lost her Jersey accent!

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

ADAM33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX7fhskW3H
Randomly?
JASON33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXH6SqKBbc

ADAM33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMhgPHjla8
No. I heard he’s on vacation.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLo1ptORRI
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVF8xCL0Pe
What?
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX6a6N9PwG
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?
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS6UVxmjnF
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Ellen.
ELLEN33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXZ7AdsxQz

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHGNVqpBdz
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-

JASON33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAas3jsXjTH

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqG0DU4tCd
Really?
ELLEN33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G2PZFBXjA
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn4bYMoh9B
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.
ELLEN33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x7f3HYZ5u
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBjHepzyyo
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.
JASON33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY67644Ul8X

Bitch! I was waiting for that. How long were you waiting to do that?
JASON33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fNxh2d5RK
About three years.

JASON33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JVnpKrzH9
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz3AA9RiXe
That’s what I thought.
JASON33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2Wj8GMIcX
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHqacEskSD
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy35onXiZXH
Tee-Hee.

JASON33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOmjmleGMF
Really, like what?
WORKER33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDRCkZP8s3
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.
JASON33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfpXgTAXrz
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK39ERn17E
Yeah, it was crazy.

Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSUULNKYD5

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48dnmf30m1
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

Uh, let’s see.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhof3sxqLhb
(reading)33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vqVPiU8Hs
The search for the next generation of soldiers is near, in the light of the DeSantos cartel’s recent surge in attacks, we are ready to commence the next phase in our operation. Galen and Mara Walker have volunteered to be one of the first in line.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHcBGcrnfr

ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV95Qvg2o4
Yeah. What else does it say?
ADAM33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbfMoYgnuN
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspso18O13B
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0zXYwewzT
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3tEoYpgQ9
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxDAZCoQ42

ABRAHAM33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX7uMN3wZH
Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkslmF2eJY
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVsaAxUCJ7
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3D8tfj5VP
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C7Rb3O2nS
What did you say?
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx1bpHf1rD
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb5bQa0quy
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCttlUNZQTz
And what happened?
ABRAHAM33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwtv5OwT7A
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.
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuovWvmSpow
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?
ABRAHAM33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBppjsCQ1An
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0CaDDvuMd
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcka3RvcWLa
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZKsOiwJJ9
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.

ELLEN33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN7WaF9H8J
Jason... I don’t know what’s happened the past three years you’ve been here in Deacon but... one of the things I admire you for is... your ability to not give up. You’re one of the most, if not the most, headstrong and determined people I know... Do you remember when you got beat up in high school by Colton Harper? Dad was going to sign you up for classes before Ritchie swooped in and do you remember how quickly you learned most of it?

It gets up and walks toward him. Jason’s vision clears. It’s Ellen. Jason sits up. He doesn’t have his mask on.

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.

The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.

I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.

What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.

I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.

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.
