ELLEN240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ5i2ZmKSJ
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxE0oUacW0
Bruh.
ELLEN240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN1etWpaWf
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO0cbTbHxJ
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Zq2vsKFX

I don’t know. I was driving, everything was fine, next thing I know my left front wheel comes off.
ADAM240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS86BbAgmSn
Randomly?

ADAM240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF7UKpO1UD
No. I heard he’s on vacation.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmNwxy9igd
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2ZuUJcj6M
What?
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUaWsiriMX
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?
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzarVejHyZm
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3H8GSKopg
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-

Jason sits down.
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSroz7SRBFG
So how are things in New York?
ELLEN240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7FwHKaPfF
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa1jtoGKSV
Really?
ELLEN240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaLxI9FK8K
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNekro77qC
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.
ELLEN240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGRZuTumA3
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpp3HnwwBV
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.
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q9CwTN1tt

JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEwhR3Tdzl
About three years.
ELLEN240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOnChNWYjj
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaOFszs96J
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G0j3Wm91Y
That’s what I thought.
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaVO8HjDyC
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKVLDlDrBe
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNmwchIvWn

JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRj2XyLiCR
Really, like what?
WORKER240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1JvobibMT
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.
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09cPuDM1Wt
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjCPBlb4o1
Yeah, it was crazy.

JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLKEmjTxhc
You know my name? How?
The Orphic starts walking toward Jason.
THE ORPHIC240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbemPqhnNz9
Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEnswqBQwO
What?
THE ORPHIC240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60g8XWAUl8
This body, mangled, burned, by your hand.
The Orphic levitates.
THE ORPHIC240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBIsAYCAZH
Time to return the favor.
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8QyOwI2ID
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
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bZROnt5om

That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRw6PFhXzL
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDvef5uXKt
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhSOh4zaZv
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5lMTQXAQc

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJaSMPfP3k
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4T8Yg40wq
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULzM2o9p73
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7Yv8hS6Zq
What did you say?
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb7ihE5Q74
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsib7zmG95
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgf7eFX2kM
And what happened?
ABRAHAM240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHArOtsb3z5
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.
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vhvr5m7B5
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?
ABRAHAM240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90bBqvAual
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YNTgeSe7y
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f0zzZ8k2J
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17LwDV3Ils
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.

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. The resulting surge produced unidentified particles and dark matter.
On the file, “unidentified particles” is circled with an arrow pointed at it. “Tachyons!” is written at the base of the arrow.
Alexis puts the file down.

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.
ADAM240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypvIKCR9pp
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.

Oh fuck.
ADAM240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ768Ahn0mpX
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX7Rivxnb2
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.
ELLEN240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsJhO87Chm
Thank God you’re awake.
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78NHr40GIC
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.
ELLEN240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYoq3ly9wS
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNjk9qaKv7
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2s8oyAf8P
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IzmKSUPBv
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeTyg2FtXf
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.
