ELLEN170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgESWflcl5r
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC3F8F6tZw
Bruh.
ELLEN170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVqRPMfwkc
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50tARYeleX
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaXHA6zJSO

ADAM170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVFZgF3OYV
No. I heard he’s on vacation.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qvQ0oWpsb
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99tSBDGf13
What?
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h1GmlCuMR
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?
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6lLTmOFzh
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgRP2eUU37

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNokkOCd0TA
Really?
ELLEN170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4fEpLSyYJ
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCltVSoyWsm
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.
ELLEN170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4oW2QnD6x
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk0TH7kJWY
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?
JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL9NrJegTD
About three years.
ELLEN170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYdtWlRuuz
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXEBbPxzbu
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12EPePfrH7
That’s what I thought.
JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmGQ4Lri3d
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PWnbmauNc
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQx3Va7jJJ

JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCldmPpRdg
Really, like what?
WORKER170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDzcrRsYcP
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.
JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlT5n6b03z
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOlkFAm4uf
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.
JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w7UMyCL9e
What?
THE ORPHIC170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0tmjuOF2q
This body, mangled, burned, by your hand.
The Orphic levitates.
THE ORPHIC170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2eRMpU4ES
Time to return the favor.
JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP6RJG5Dce
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
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbmJneoDPU
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

ADAM170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2mOEluw2c
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbFWnrxaor
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6AMlj00Fk
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0LzDwFRwZ
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbI2ZDWmGd

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cOIptm7lY
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2eWMmaWaW
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPVo3AQ59f
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySCNwrhcHG
What did you say?
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e7RxZPh5c
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUCP6SSzro
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKPAECtwYJ
And what happened?
ABRAHAM170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe48UBpzvu
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.
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEslMKYMZZ3
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?
ABRAHAM170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83ikhsgnCt
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiioMwSgYs
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OEv9EU5Xx
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUyGAXddi6
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.
ADAM170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu7LZKDfdT
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.

Oh fuck.
ADAM170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6ZeOL76S0
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFlOxR2wdB
I don’t know.
Not too far, Jason collapses. He touches his shoulder.
JASON
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.

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.
ELLEN170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9XtdyOV9f
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsIL4UJxKv
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROLjCi0ZKE
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxIKysJ2eB
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZa0zyVFDU
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.
