How have you been?
ELLEN156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYxQuOlR6f
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvEe0vWfJk
Bruh.
ELLEN156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeJgt5GQln
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaKCKWId30
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanm7tIK27Y

JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqouKpOM6n0

ADAM156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RwwLlaewy
No. I heard he’s on vacation.156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEVwDrQVO4
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFUBdx6170
What?
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWVv91ZBbZ
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?
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkam3d40vO
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnhd2U0J5a

Jason sits down.
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwXvU9H8rK
So how are things in New York?

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb1elaXR08
Really?
ELLEN156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5d3YobQsK
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Ujxg9Kvd
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.
ELLEN156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0NuMAxFXy
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSleTB0HJh
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?
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkJAYKn7xM
About three years.
ELLEN156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxVWH5mmk2
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQAbGC0LZb
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPywNtu3e1s
That’s what I thought.
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwutoOJtyJ
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFon3BfjzWw
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5TPppxnut

JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FO47PlqNK
Really, like what?
WORKER156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpdgBzcv40
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.
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWpkLReblP
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy0jnXiNE0
Yeah, it was crazy.

The Orphic starts walking toward Jason.
THE ORPHIC156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1yIF28at5
Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy2G3Eg1pH

The Orphic levitates.
THE ORPHIC156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIedkne0NM
Time to return the favor.
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUR6fZRorj
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

ADAM156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGchnY3YONE
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VKpSHB2LA
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk766TldHts
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrpdt6FM1O
I don’t know.

Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iN81lS1Jf
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN4uzarhFO
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevk96vlOdM
What did you say?
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rMEq4zmei
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQopoCBEdhv
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqTUHlMfHo
And what happened?
ABRAHAM156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRchLqJ6Wu
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.
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PevEwqLTD
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?
ABRAHAM156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfunOeziQAk
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNdqvuiAqG
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzXdfJckOC
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5g6uxJJq3

A new subject has been brought forward. She put up a bit of a fight but was able to be apprehended. After administering nano-machines, the subject went crazy and escaped into the facility, causing a small surge in one of our accelerators.

I am The Orphic. This city, this world, is mine!
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.
ADAM156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72GulifxXl
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.

Oh fuck.
ADAM156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbqVPW7Zi7
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OI7l2e0eH
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.
ELLEN156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyppZPMJl4
Thank God you’re awake.
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuc8LD5fRn
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.
ELLEN156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvTGMIVqoe
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yjWgkeXSv
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBAOkWE1b7
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotWfGWXsaA
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFWTng5a1i
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.
