Jason and Ellen hug.
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAxTJg8Fsv8f
How’ve you been?
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANABbFmjULYZJ
Wait. Say that again.
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAeunlCcPqKJ
How have you been?
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANAPy0amjwamJ
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANA9IRSneZOQB
Bruh.
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANAgcsqTdUfWp
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.

Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANALh9UPfhiTl

And it’s not covered in smog.
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANAFTn2yZgS6o
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.
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAo2dsonaTUP

I don’t know. I was driving, everything was fine, next thing I know my left front wheel comes off.
ADAM165Please respect copyright.PENANAyNcMDc5kiG
Randomly?
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAvDKH4bhDPB
Yeah.
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANAPkIc3Udqsk
(to Jason)165Please respect copyright.PENANAdF39xmJD3R
You know what I find weird.
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAlUgS32EWdW

ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANA0364TrfLAM

ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANA2GO1FdJCgJ

ADAM165Please respect copyright.PENANAYmB9FBmdgg
Yeah. What?
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAuU26NkPLPs
The Genome Soldier Project. It’s not on any official task force record. Think you can help?
ADAM165Please respect copyright.PENANA2pqDoeNIkK
Yeah. How do you know about it?
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANA6bLRMvrWef
The vigilante.
ADAM165Please respect copyright.PENANApA3jBmdTBr
Interesting. But I’m in.
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANApUXMHkzjRu
Thanks. And you haven’t heard anything from Montoya, have you?
ADAM165Please respect copyright.PENANAkM3GZk13xG
No. I heard he’s on vacation.165Please respect copyright.PENANAXZMJybcdXs
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM165Please respect copyright.PENANASPyxtJEojm
What?
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAinGn5sWsUx
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?
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAv6TygOxUS5
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

JAMIE165Please respect copyright.PENANAnEwHUxJlgq
Ellen.
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANANp1Cbjf4V8
Wait, do you work?

ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAa3gHh8QUXY
Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANAc3QUtL9rHC
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAV7kikDgYqN

JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANA7YzLY6SsGl
Here you go.
Jason sits down.
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAdarg9ZmKon
So how are things in New York?
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANA5DPJ8oPy5g
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAlKcoDj80ff
Really?
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANAB7jd5G6QhE
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANA222SB5ydG6
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.
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANAH0OVQO8TZM
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAOy597m2saD
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.
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAyn6JggEIQe
Hey. If you want to impress my sister with a car it better be a food truck.

JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAInci07XtjV
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANAzUzudhmuNf
That’s what I thought.
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAfV45Lr4zRn
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANAz7VP7ULZ62
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAIuBlbtTmEN
Tee-Hee.
165Please respect copyright.PENANALKMNHMeik5
INT. CAR RENTAL SHOP - DAY
Jason is signing a paper at a counter. Alexis is sitting at a chair.
WORKER165Please respect copyright.PENANA57LAAJW8mX
Sucks what happened to your car. A lot of weird things have been happening in the city ever since the energy blast happened.
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAbD8pVSLcWQ
Really, like what?
WORKER165Please respect copyright.PENANAzdrQZvpZVB
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.
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAoE3VYlwbmp
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER165Please respect copyright.PENANAeUTWAGaVnu
Yeah, it was crazy.
165Please respect copyright.PENANA5gIg479KgV
Jason finishes signing the paper.
WORKER165Please respect copyright.PENANAyGB7OB334A

Old wounds die hard. Jason.
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAOXSN3hYGQb
You know my name? How?
The Orphic starts walking toward Jason.
THE ORPHIC165Please respect copyright.PENANARHSYk1NmPL
Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANAhC3v1fRI46

THE ORPHIC165Please respect copyright.PENANARiaS6V1Gce
This body, mangled, burned, by your hand.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAchDrYeny6T
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?
ADAM165Please respect copyright.PENANAEpbivaakWk
Uh, let’s see.165Please respect copyright.PENANAU2sFYQWG5K
(reading)165Please respect copyright.PENANAQuyr3gy9z0
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAWvGcFrDYkm
(stops reading)165Please respect copyright.PENANA9bGMPVRzl6
Galen and Mara. Aren’t those Abraham’s parents?
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAQPWI8VIMDS
Yeah. What else does it say?
ADAM165Please respect copyright.PENANA4zjVBTzD8B
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANApKDHgUBCCO
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM165Please respect copyright.PENANAjHPAIkTBKo
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAbzJaBkF4lL
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANA3VOoI6p3dP

INT. JASON AND ALEXIS' HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANApZNFF3s7UN
Hey, rude.

ABRAHAM165Please respect copyright.PENANA3GcOzatc5n
Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAlikzOJbOVD
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM165Please respect copyright.PENANAYv2EUffyUK
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAgshJYlkK2M
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM165Please respect copyright.PENANAuatxQHFGC8
What did you say?
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAUoSVDzOeOd
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM165Please respect copyright.PENANA9zOraoBYJj
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAKKVTSNFvsg
And what happened?
ABRAHAM165Please respect copyright.PENANAGaQ37LnQBd
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.
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAUcjpgDU0jT
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?
ABRAHAM165Please respect copyright.PENANAs0fE9pX3ru
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAOj3KDtYjND
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM165Please respect copyright.PENANApITx70R8aq
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS165Please respect copyright.PENANAnSvaLsIJv6
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.
ABRAHAM165Please respect copyright.PENANAWMmQF24E64

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.

Dark matter, test subjects. What the hell was HelixGenetics up to?
She gets out the number Jason gave her as the vigilante. She looks at it.

ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANApvQOPFetJE
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?
JASON165Please respect copyright.PENANA9KyjzoHGhj
Yeah.
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANAcSJvrT8zx9

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)165Please respect copyright.PENANAofy9qxInC6
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.
ELLEN165Please respect copyright.PENANA4szUj9aShx

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.

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.
