### Title: **Guilt and Temptation**
---
#### **ACT 1**
**INT. CITY STREETS - NIGHT**
*The episode opens with **LUCAS** walking through the empty city streets, his face tense and his thoughts heavy. The cold night air does little to clear his mind as he replays the conversation with **EVA** in his head, the hurt in her eyes haunting him.*
*For the first time in a long while, Lucas feels a pang of guilt. He knows he's pushed her away, that his commitment to the job has driven a wedge between them. But it's always been the only way he knows to survive in their world—by keeping emotions at bay, by refusing to let anything or anyone distract him.*
*As he walks, he's lost in his thoughts, the usually sharp and alert assassin feeling a rare vulnerability. The city lights blur in his peripheral vision, a reflection of his inner turmoil.*

#### **ACT 2**
**INT. LUCAS'S APARTMENT - NIGHT**
*Lucas arrives at his sparsely furnished apartment, a cold and impersonal space that mirrors his state of mind. He shuts the door behind him, leaning against it for a moment as he exhales deeply.*
*He crosses the room and sits on the edge of his bed, his head in his hands. He's never allowed himself to dwell on his feelings before, but now the guilt is too much to ignore. He knows he hurt Eva, and it bothers him more than he wants to admit.*
*Lucas takes out his phone and scrolls through his contacts, stopping at Eva's name. His thumb hovers over the call button, but he hesitates. The walls he's built around himself are thick, and he's not sure he's ready—or capable—of tearing them down.*
*Before he can make a decision, there's a knock on his door. Lucas frowns, his instincts kicking in. He grabs his gun and cautiously approaches the door. He opens it slowly, ready for anything.*
*To his surprise, it's **JENNA** standing there, a sly smile on her lips. She leans casually against the doorframe, her eyes glinting with mischief.*
**JENNA**
(playfully)
Expecting someone else?*Lucas lowers the gun but doesn't relax completely. He steps back, allowing her to enter, though his guard remains up.*
**LUCAS**
(coolly)
What do you want, Jenna?*Jenna steps inside, her eyes scanning the apartment with mild curiosity. She turns back to Lucas, her smile never fading.*
**JENNA**
(softly)
I came to see you. I couldn't stop thinking about our last conversation. I thought maybe you needed some company.*Lucas watches her closely, sensing the underlying motives behind her words. But the guilt over Eva is still gnawing at him, making him more vulnerable than usual.*
*Jenna steps closer, her hand lightly brushing against his arm. There's a seductive quality to her movements, but Lucas doesn't move away. He's torn, his mind at war with itself.*
**JENNA**
(whispering)
You don't have to be alone, Lucas. I know what it's like to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. But you don't have to do it all by yourself.*Her words hit a nerve, resonating with the loneliness he's been feeling. Lucas looks into her eyes, searching for any sign of sincerity, but all he sees is the dangerous allure she represents.*
*Jenna moves even closer, her breath warm against his skin. She leans in, her lips inches from his, ready to close the gap. For a moment, Lucas feels the pull, the temptation to let go of his defenses and give in to the comfort she's offering.*
