chances

[2024 - Interrogation Room with Glitch]

Agent 47 walks into the dimly lit interrogation room. Glitch is strapped to a metal chair, his expression defiant but cautious.

Agent 47: (determined) Now, I will ask again. Give me more information about the drive.

Glitch: (guarded) What kind of information?

Agent 47: (intense) Its location and what's on it.

Glitch: (firm) We both know what's on that drive and why I can't give it to you.

Agent 47's face shows a tinge of disappointment as he responds.

Agent 47: (resigned) So... you do know what's on the hard drive.

Glitch: (reluctant) I know somewhat what's on it.

Agent 47: (assertive) My employer doesn't believe in chance, so he doesn't want to take one and let me kill you yet.

Glitch: Glad to hear that.

Agent 47: (musing) Sadly for you... my employer didn't give me any orders about your sister. Maybe I should visit Lia.

Glitch's face briefly contorts in anger before settling into a sense of relief.

Glitch: (defiant) If she works for Black Watch like you said, you have no chance of finding her.

Agent 47: (smirking) Yeah... unlike my employer, you seem to enjoy taking chances. Do you want to know who else took chances?

Glitch: (intrigued) Who?

Agent 47: (cryptic) Nestor. Look where it got him

[2022 - In the car on the way to Black Watch]

after nastor got glitch out of prison

Glitch:So, Nastor, was it?

Nastor: Yeah.

Glitch: I was recruited because my parents were a part of Black Watch.

Nastor: (confused) Yeah, what about it?

Glitch: Why were you recruited?

Nastor: Ahh, that's a long story.

Glitch: I've got time.

Nastor: You won't believe me if I told you.

Glitch: (determined) Try me. I was just released out of maximum-security prison after knocking out two police officers in a police station And both my parents worked for an agency focusing on world domination. at this point i will believe anything

Nastor: (chuckles) I never knew my dad, but my mom had ties to the criminal underworld.

Glitch: (surprised) What? who was she?

Nastor: Ever heard of... Charlotte Mayen?

Glitch: (excited) Charlotte Mayen? THE Charlotte Mayen?

Nastor: The one and only.

Glitch: (curious) How tf did you end up with the agency?

Nastor: Well, when the CIA found out that my mother had a son, they hired an agency to kidnap me and demand ransom in person to lure her out. I was only 8 at the time.

Glitch: (shocked) Wait, are you telling me...

Nastor: It was Black Watch, yeah.

Glitch: Black Watch is just a gun for hire?

Nastor: It was back in the early days of Black Watch. The agency needed money, and the CIA was paying well.

Glitch: (interested) So what happened?

Nastor: I remember it like it was yesterday. Black Watch was ordered to deliver her alive, but the CIA had other plans...

[Flashback - Year 2000]

CIA Agent: (on comms) Do you have eyes on the target?

Black Watch Agent: (responding) Yes.

CIA Agent: (commanding) I want her alive, remember that.

Black Watch Agent: You paid the agency to get the job done

A black van shows up as Charlotte walks out, yelling.

Charlotte: WHERE IS MY BOY?

The CIA agent goes out of hiding, attempting to apprehend Charlotte.

CIA Agent: (yelling) HANDS UP! SHOW ME YOUR HANDS!

Charlotte: (pleading) I'm unarmed. I got the 50 million dollars like you asked!

A gunshot suddenly hits Charlotte in the head.

CIA Agent:SHOTS FIRED

Black Watch Agent: (nervous) Shots fired! What do we do?

Zack: (coldly) Kill everyone except the boy.

Black Watch Agent: (hesitant) Copy that.

As they proceed to eliminate all other CIA agents on the premises, a Black Watch agent approaches 8-year-old Nastor.

Young Nastor: (panicking) Where is my mom?

Black Watch Agent: (calmly) Your mother has... well, listen to me, someone very important wants to meet you.

[Back to 2022]

Glitch: The CIA tricked Black Watch... they are just as guilty as them!

Nastor: (calmly) I don't blame Black Watch for what happened. The CIA used Black Watch, that's what he told me.

Glitch: (curious) Who ?

Nastor: the agent who called me into Black Watch headquarters after my mother was killed. he told me everything that happened.

Glitch: So when did you join Black Watch?

Nastor: I joined black watch In 2017

Glitch: (concerned) And what happened to the agent who informed you?

Nastor hesitates for a moment, then the car suddenly stops, and the driver interrupts.

Driver: (announcing) We're here.

[2024, 4 hours after Agent 47 and Glitch last spoke]

Agent 47 walks into the room where Glitch is, holding a phone in his hand.

Glitch: What's that? I asked for my call a long time ago.

Agent 47: That is...

Agent 47 turns on the phone.

Agent 47: A live feed to your sister.

The phone shows A POV live feed of a person infront of Lia in a cafe, talking, but the audio is completely silent.

Glitch: LIA!

Agent 47: No need to yell, she can't hear you.

Glitch: If you hurt her, I swear to god...

Agent 47: I won't hurt her, but she will, as he points to the phone. The woman who is feeding me this live feed will kill Lia if you don't give me what I asked for...

Agent 47: So, I ask you again... where is the hard drive?

Glitch: I... don't know.

Agent 47: I believe you, but I also believe you know who does.

Glitch: It's...

Agent 47: Yes?

Glitch: It's Agent K...

Agent 47 rushes outside the room and calls his handler.

Amila and Lia are in the cafe talking.

Lia: Never saw you wearing sunglasses before.

Amila: Yeah, well, it's sunny today.

Amila's phone rings.

Lia: Your brother again?

Amila: Yeah, would you mind waiting for a second?

Lia: No, not at all.

Amila steps away from Lia to answer the call.

Agent 47: Mil.

Amila: This better be worth it. You made me wear these terrible sunglasses all day.

Agent 47: Glitch doesn't know where the hard drive is.

Amila: Damn it.

Agent 47: But he knows who does...

Amila: Who?

Agent 47: Agent K. He's an agent in Black Watch. Reach out to him now and bring him in.

Amila: Agent K? Are you sure that's the name?

Agent 47: Positive. Why?

Amila: He went rogue.

Agent 47: What? When did that happen?

Amila: The same day you kidnapped Glitch. He disappeared, black watch have been trying to find him with no luck.

Agent 47: I will check with our guest.

Agent 47 hangs up the phone and storms back into the room.

Agent 47: WHERE IS HE? AGENT K?

Glitch: I DON'T KNOW!

Agent 47: I swear to god, I will order my agent to kill Lia if you don't tell me right now.

Glitch: I told you, I don't know where he is!

Agent 47 walks out and calls Amila.

Agent 47: Mil.

Amila: Found anything?

Agent 47: No, I will keep looking. Keep the sister at arm's length, Lia Carter is the key to this whole thing.

Amila: Okay, and Agent 47, stay safe.

Agent 47 is confused by Amila's comment but hangs up the phone.

We cut to the cafe where we see Lia aiming a gun at Amila.

Lia: Mil, I trusted you.

Amila: Then put the gun down and we can talk about this

Lia: Mil, you're working for Agent 47.

Amila: Really?

Lia: Yes, I've been gathering evidence for a while now.

Amila: Lia, you may be a VERY good, if not one of the best hackers I ever met, but if you think I work for Agent 47, I might have overestimated you.

lia [aims the gun at Amila's head and puts the barrel at the back of her head]: If you're not working for him, why did he just call you?

Amila: You will never find the answer.

Lia: I might not, not if I pull this trigger.
