Jason and Ellen hug.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAf1AQ7qJrrR
How’ve you been?
ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANAiNXGYY2GGT
Wait. Say that again.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAbIaLWMeGUD
How have you been?
ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANAUMG69QumMh
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAArw6FmLv6R
Bruh.
ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANAzgfOPM0ogY
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAKVXHyTXGLM
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAvlmCYFFmF4

And it’s not covered in smog.
ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANAcLaUAd4dGR
But I like my smog.
A loud BANG is heard. The car leans down on the front left side. It makes a scraping sound. It comes to a halt.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAVLL3B3EK6J

I don’t know. I was driving, everything was fine, next thing I know my left front wheel comes off.
ADAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAdaQHCmityx
Randomly?
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAxFWddVlLeq
Yeah.
ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANA13Oq2Tg0Gb
(to Jason)144Please respect copyright.PENANAbDo3rTaRbo
You know what I find weird.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAZHiGQuAB7H

ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANAn7OWILU4Wp

ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAK8P0wVK4Qu
Hey. By any chance, can you help me look into something?
ADAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAATKKB38EWz
Yeah. What?
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANApv8WQNRqH8
The Genome Soldier Project. It’s not on any official task force record. Think you can help?
ADAM144Please respect copyright.PENANALqNRLBEA4s
Yeah. How do you know about it?
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANA5SHiroUGC8
The vigilante.
ADAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAuEHiYcMTDS
Interesting. But I’m in.
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANA49SUMp0wBA

ADAM144Please respect copyright.PENANASTJZq5IrlB
No. I heard he’s on vacation.144Please respect copyright.PENANA1tGgL5G3sW
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAIN3xcZCWeP
What?
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAwsYrtje3Vb
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?
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAL2aowSxzMb
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

JAMIE144Please respect copyright.PENANAOCzwRDEoAf
Ellen.
ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANAOs6azLW1NT
Wait, do you work?
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAq160ldJsPD
Yes. The fuck?
Alexis enters.
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANASgNbLrS3Vb
Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANASyDWQvyOMx
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAQPYBj4QLBc
Nope. Let’s go.
Ellen laughs.
144Please respect copyright.PENANAx7xoalfP6S

ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANAdd0YrjSGTZ
I’ll hold you to it.
Jason hands them ice cream.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAV5E9olh6Sq
Here you go.
Jason sits down.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAZs6dK3x573
So how are things in New York?
ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANANJhdohtSkq
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAHs51Ie8BqD
Really?
ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANA9yYqlUMv2E
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAadcvdaNsn5
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.
ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANAvxPCV11mVo
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAopnGi3xnKj
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.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAriBvzP26pK
Hey. If you want to impress my sister with a car it better be a food truck.
Ellen looks at Jason.

ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANARGim15YGr1
(laughing)144Please respect copyright.PENANAAz5pfvVlZi
Bitch! I was waiting for that. How long were you waiting to do that?
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAeAWx19ECdO
About three years.
ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANAk7NS8s8S5G
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAatop1tU3w9
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANAxUOpA3LlKQ
That’s what I thought.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAluhMUVTkOf
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANAmmLuaoq8tY
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAv0HB2W9V6B
Tee-Hee.
144Please respect copyright.PENANAqm3oe8bm0J
INT. CAR RENTAL SHOP - DAY
Jason is signing a paper at a counter. Alexis is sitting at a chair.
WORKER144Please respect copyright.PENANAXjC59isgX9
Sucks what happened to your car. A lot of weird things have been happening in the city ever since the energy blast happened.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANA6ieqMD6RBp
Really, like what?
WORKER144Please respect copyright.PENANAQPVeRmxQC3
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.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANANW3oxlm06v
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER144Please respect copyright.PENANAbphuPbm3DB
Yeah, it was crazy.
144Please respect copyright.PENANA67jKeVOr3z
Jason finishes signing the paper.
WORKER144Please respect copyright.PENANAhN628SQYKc
Anyway, hope you can get your car fixed soon.

THE ORPHIC144Please respect copyright.PENANAv9T4LrAZXR
Old wounds die hard. Jason.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAd92GZimaIs
You know my name? How?
The Orphic starts walking toward Jason.
THE ORPHIC144Please respect copyright.PENANAoSm06iEz4v
Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANAOq4K6Z9GP5
What?
THE ORPHIC144Please respect copyright.PENANADK44m0fatN
This body, mangled, burned, by your hand.
The Orphic levitates.
THE ORPHIC144Please respect copyright.PENANACDCR4vOL3t

JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANA0enfuVKPVq
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 floats down behind Jason. Jason turns around. The Orphic punches Jason across the face twice, then once in the stomach. Jason falls to his knees. The Orphic stares at him.
THE ORPHIC144Please respect copyright.PENANASt034RwvvX
What a shame.
JASON144Please respect copyright.PENANApYaX4qNNGb

What do you mean?
Jason goes to look at The Orphic. The Orphic is gone. Jason gets up.

INT. BULL PEN - CONTINUOUS
Adam is seated at a computer. Other desks with computers on them are placed around the room.
ADAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAqSLSjwKaLO
Nothing too interesting, old operations, old reports, that is until I found a file detailing stuff like gene therapy, nano machines. Is this it?
INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAmjR9uXnbNA
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?
ADAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAwGxvy4qWnx
Uh, let’s see.144Please respect copyright.PENANAxdLvU31XZc
(reading)144Please respect copyright.PENANACZUNmW7N2u
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.144Please respect copyright.PENANA3m8bbeRGtn
(stops reading)144Please respect copyright.PENANAvzBUYvehcm
Galen and Mara. Aren’t those Abraham’s parents?
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAxKfIEgbGdR
Yeah. What else does it say?
ADAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAWCSQnUoMjt
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAgSNUUX6rq8
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAZB6VGRaDhe
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAUIEE15wiIB
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAqmxO3FnumZ
I think I’m going to have to make a call.

ABRAHAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAbiB4eJc8O7
(into phone)144Please respect copyright.PENANAlNjkD0QaoC
Oh fuck. What do you need help with now, Alexis?
144Please respect copyright.PENANAo3Yob8MaaQ
INT. JASON AND ALEXIS' HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAXXNChUTdON
Hey, rude.
INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ABRAHAM
ABRAHAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAcjTQAzukt3
Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAvk5u3P1DVt
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAOdsDFztm7a
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAcA9ifk0oVO
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM144Please respect copyright.PENANATP5C4xZJUe
What did you say?
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAj2Aa4E8lnf
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAFpnZOv2jJ0
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANA4BznJO4Ozv
And what happened?
ABRAHAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAkM9Pq2I52m
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.
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAm7mUIxLxWv
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?
ABRAHAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAvXI1VjuqJu
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANA190ipNBCRj
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM144Please respect copyright.PENANASf8znUIbWo
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS144Please respect copyright.PENANAzeeXMjYQoW
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.
ABRAHAM144Please respect copyright.PENANAF9unXaW6JI
Let me know if you find anything else.

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.

ELLEN144Please respect copyright.PENANA91xIzqUJtB
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?

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.
ISABELLA (ON TV)144Please respect copyright.PENANAf3G8FmefQk
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.

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.
