I’m sorry. I don’t know why that came out. Of course, I’m happy to see you!
Jason and Ellen hug.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAQqbPlqyYgV
How’ve you been?
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANAanAyUhFOYD
Wait. Say that again.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAmexzK9PRbI
How have you been?
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANAlfq8goUQX6
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAw7wn8LMA9z
Bruh.
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANAGlwFDBS5Mk
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.

Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANACW4farOlA3

ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANALiCpxp5ram
And it’s not covered in smog.
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANATBrr0vXSuW
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.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAJZqtKCxI4Q

She goes right up to it and kneels.

I don’t know. I was driving, everything was fine, next thing I know my left front wheel comes off.
ADAM541Please respect copyright.PENANAE6iE4vHWJM
Randomly?
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAYXLfiyXjbQ
Yeah.
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANAiyfhOT1tG9
(to Jason)541Please respect copyright.PENANAnol93GAqZW
You know what I find weird.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAGE5c4JLJto

ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAkOpWqfYroq
Hey. By any chance, can you help me look into something?
ADAM541Please respect copyright.PENANASTqtREyf4h
Yeah. What?
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAvwsrSm504F
The Genome Soldier Project. It’s not on any official task force record. Think you can help?
ADAM541Please respect copyright.PENANAQ32Ay9FN6r
Yeah. How do you know about it?
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAnaa2Bb7p0N
The vigilante.
ADAM541Please respect copyright.PENANA7dKkTSF3Ow
Interesting. But I’m in.
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAiPtM8uOt8d
Thanks. And you haven’t heard anything from Montoya, have you?
ADAM541Please respect copyright.PENANAMSV4B8hydu
No. I heard he’s on vacation.
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM541Please respect copyright.PENANATP602yaPkw
What?
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAUyTaG9FAFT
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?
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANApKXYBcun9v
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

JAMIE541Please respect copyright.PENANANfRZ50SSn5
Ellen.
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANA4CJnZfX66F
Wait, do you work?
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAwJLZ1BHB74
Yes. The fuck?
Alexis enters.
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAEyNpPiAUOt
Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANATrHQqh8uhW
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAZoTvUfwTj1
Nope. Let’s go.
Ellen laughs.
541Please respect copyright.PENANAyLK8fKJ3Te

Jason hands them ice cream.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAC9Yy6w8yiI
Here you go.
Jason sits down.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANACZFuUv1YOM
So how are things in New York?
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANAIW09ETLSzv
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAO3wgRE6Kea
Really?
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANAgp3n5lLYqr
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANA65FNx69Wy6
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.
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANABiNESaUsSa
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANA2dQh5FTVKw
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.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAPMjaFS04EW
Hey. If you want to impress my sister with a car it better be a food truck.

Bitch! I was waiting for that. How long were you waiting to do that?
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAYO93Z47c39
About three years.
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANAzztqQQCIhU
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAbgo6Cuow5G
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANAL4OBSZgj4Z
That’s what I thought.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANA59BzyA35Oh
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANAcTIs0heAM2
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAogP87zI5Xz
Tee-Hee.
541Please respect copyright.PENANA4d5S5MrjCY
INT. CAR RENTAL SHOP - DAY
Jason is signing a paper at a counter. Alexis is sitting at a chair.
WORKER541Please respect copyright.PENANAaCfDaCUqcA
Sucks what happened to your car. A lot of weird things have been happening in the city ever since the energy blast happened.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAd0EJnVp06S
Really, like what?
WORKER541Please respect copyright.PENANA2kRP1NmVcm
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.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAwgf62Aoawz
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER541Please respect copyright.PENANAxUUmdkjzkK
Yeah, it was crazy.
541Please respect copyright.PENANASGsriPeP8H
Jason finishes signing the paper.
WORKER541Please respect copyright.PENANAlApyn1klNl
Anyway, hope you can get your car fixed soon.
Jason grabs the rental car’s keys.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAo3OCnNEUP3
Thanks.

Alright, I’ll see you at the house.

Old wounds die hard. Jason.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAd81oiN8YJI
You know my name? How?
The Orphic starts walking toward Jason.
THE ORPHIC541Please respect copyright.PENANAP4vritMZG1
Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAFTFeYCMPzN
What?
THE ORPHIC541Please respect copyright.PENANAa1ZPZvlcgb
This body, mangled, burned, by your hand.
The Orphic levitates.
THE ORPHIC541Please respect copyright.PENANACphJKKD96c
Time to return the favor.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANA2aChwhL6K4

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 ORPHIC541Please respect copyright.PENANApaAfCNmFqc
What a shame.
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAgwzm2c3mdv

INT. BULL PEN - CONTINUOUS
Adam is seated at a computer. Other desks with computers on them are placed around the room.
ADAM541Please respect copyright.PENANAIukNpGCjHL
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
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANA26qIwHA86I
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?
ADAM541Please respect copyright.PENANAmtykI2azFE
Uh, let’s see.541Please respect copyright.PENANAcJx5312lb0
(reading)541Please respect copyright.PENANAWIhQtCRgYc

Yeah. What else does it say?
ADAM541Please respect copyright.PENANAqHFQUmRI3O
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAWXEclWBEQR
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM541Please respect copyright.PENANAG23oqgk0Ul
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANApbhU0XLWwF
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAdI4Nero5DH

ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAjaBchoIWiG
Hey, rude.

ABRAHAM541Please respect copyright.PENANAPpFcCF4iHn
Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAkkLlgP6yFh
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM541Please respect copyright.PENANAf7ZyHWIiHx
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAmigEFOI22r
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM541Please respect copyright.PENANAATlGed2MJw
What did you say?
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAAJxDMK97qR
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM541Please respect copyright.PENANA6SsbhdgZDu
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAH9akQaAqnh
And what happened?
ABRAHAM541Please respect copyright.PENANAE4zh0VMAQl
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.
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAMsan2yGVKg
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?
ABRAHAM541Please respect copyright.PENANADpElSFlNg8
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAtWmEFeD7Dn
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM541Please respect copyright.PENANABncb5xFxOm
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS541Please respect copyright.PENANAwouW0OAJDh
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.
ABRAHAM541Please respect copyright.PENANA4QnEAjY5CK

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.

ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANABr53caaxsS
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?
JASON541Please respect copyright.PENANAYzgCOt2eJx
Yeah.
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANAS1FxSUsMQd

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)541Please respect copyright.PENANA3kTEpjdSJt
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.
ELLEN541Please respect copyright.PENANAW2x7cFALtF

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.
