JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9hZWUM855

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

I’ll never understand why you find that funny.
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlDsKoswma
It's an acquired sense of humor so I hope you never do.

ELLEN153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpeYhUoKWr
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wWDiViFBr
Bruh.
ELLEN153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1058moxs3N
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDykM7zNfBS
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxp89EWQjc

What are you looking at?
Jason looks at Alexis.
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSXPuZ8nsY

I don’t know. I was driving, everything was fine, next thing I know my left front wheel comes off.
ADAM153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQz0P6c0o3
Randomly?
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcOZUemP0o
Yeah.

ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOGfcOr03k

ADAM153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUI0ebuQyT
No. I heard he’s on vacation.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0vASHLuRL
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV85TZi3i9a
What?
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejbM9bysdV
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?
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy83zGVzEBB
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaSKV4d3bW

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnVRfK92jF
Really?
ELLEN153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2q5vOuxFX
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO39zgFClbR
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.
ELLEN153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlpH2l3sMw
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxVoPV4BOD
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?
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mbWnRXwO9
About three years.
ELLEN153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mcgnv1xFU
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE5vbk5voe
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcXt78GQeG
That’s what I thought.
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4tP8NwbDH
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVPQnkXT4c
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEybSEDTSw
Tee-Hee.

JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4Iif63Jum
Really, like what?
WORKER153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGRgEjlm3K
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.
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrskhwdUhAD
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4x4LbCeEH
Yeah, it was crazy.

You know my name? How?
The Orphic starts walking toward Jason.
THE ORPHIC153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXsWYwZuTi
Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQhAJOQ187
What?
THE ORPHIC153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFg1NnxHle
This body, mangled, burned, by your hand.

THE ORPHIC153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb1w9pD8Jk
Time to return the favor.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9Nn30aRjQ
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

Uh, let’s see.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqw3Md2r5G

ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzuzm6Xg6c
Yeah. What else does it say?
ADAM153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7bRnVNaID
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ930y3Al8ig
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9YCl0b1fK
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVhqLU9uFK
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl95wjsarky
I think I’m going to have to make a call.

ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDdwiHRNz6
Hey, rude.
INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ABRAHAM

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU9gwDo1Ep
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYTzNYKBvt
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNL35Iu6Gx
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB3eVLTaIb
What did you say?
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpUe5zpsXW
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVqs4Es4fI
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsbsvDJKEx
And what happened?
ABRAHAM153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqokjEoc4X
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.
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vaZHvjVR6
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?
ABRAHAM153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoImYvxf1v3
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHP21qK3Sj
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDsr7MX29m
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn50laeBiNU
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.
ADAM153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy1JWyD6li
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.

Oh fuck.
ADAM153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbDbNTXIlB
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnmeiXcQFL
I don’t know.
Not too far, Jason collapses. He touches his shoulder.

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.
ELLEN153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsCh02Mb9E
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjZKPjhLuz
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc0rE87wpB
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN68rrXQ7z
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryFU3QkNU2
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.
