### Title: **Deception and Betrayal**
---
#### **ACT 1**
**INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY**
*The episode opens with **LUCAS** and **EVA** in a hospital room, recovering from their injuries. They're still processing the attack by **JENNA** and the revelation that their ally, **ALEK**, was behind it.*
*The room is filled with tension as **ALEK** enters, looking more determined than ever. He's come to explain himself, but there's a coldness in his eyes that was absent before.*
**ALEK**
(coolly)
I need to clarify something. The reason Jenna came after you... it's not just because of some organizational pressure.*Lucas and Eva exchange wary glances, their previous anger and betrayal now mixed with confusion.*
**LUCAS**
(suspiciously)
What are you talking about, Alek?**ALEK**
(emotionless)
I was upset that you didn't follow through with the mission during the Victor job. I specifically instructed you to eliminate Eva, but you didn't. That's why Jenna was sent.*Eva's eyes widen in shock and hurt. Lucas's face hardens, his expression a mix of anger and disbelief.*
**EVA**
(outraged)
So this was all because you were angry with Lucas for not killing me? You were willing to put us both in danger just to punish him?**ALEK**
(dismissively)
I don't feel any remorse. You were a loose end, and you should have been dealt with. Lucas's failure to follow orders jeopardized everything.*Lucas's fists clench at his sides, his anger barely contained.*
**LUCAS**
(furiously)
You manipulated us, Alek. You used us and put our lives at risk because of your own issues. How could you betray us like this?**ALEK**
(coldly)
It's not personal. It's business. And if you had done your job, none of this would have happened. But now, you're a liability, and I can't afford to have that.*Eva looks at Lucas, her expression a mix of anger and sadness. Lucas, still recovering from the shock, tries to steady himself.*
**EVA**
(bitterly)
So, what now? Are you going to finish what Jenna started?**ALEK**
(coolly)
No. I'm not here to fight you. But understand this: I'm no longer on your side. You're on your own.---
#### **ACT 2**
**INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - LATER**
*With Alek's departure, the room feels even more tense and isolated. Lucas and Eva are left grappling with the betrayal and trying to regroup.*
*Eva, still processing the revelation, looks at Lucas, her eyes filled with a mix of resolve and fear.*
**EVA**
(determined)
We need to get out of here. We can't stay in this hospital any longer. If Alek's out to get us, we need to be on the move.*Lucas nods, though he's clearly still shaken. He slowly rises from his bed, wincing from his injuries.*
**LUCAS**
(resolved)
Agreed. We'll find a way to deal with Alek and the organization. But first, we need to get somewhere safe.*They begin to prepare for their escape, carefully planning their next move. Their trust in their former ally is shattered, but their determination to survive and seek justice for the betrayal remains strong.*

#### **ACT 3**
**INT. ABANDONED SAFEHOUSE - NIGHT**
*Lucas and Eva find refuge in an abandoned safehouse, far from their previous location. They set up a temporary base, using the time to recuperate and strategize.*
*As they go through the information Alek provided, they discover more details about the organization's operations and its members. They realize they need to act quickly to prevent further attacks and uncover the full extent of the organization's plans.*
**EVA**
(focused)
We need to find out who else is involved in this organization. If Alek was willing to betray us, there's no telling what other threats might be out there.**LUCAS**
(nodding)
And we need to be ready for whatever comes next. Alek won't stop with just us. He'll keep coming after us unless we put a stop to it.*They work late into the night, their focus on gathering intelligence and preparing for their next steps. Despite their injuries and the betrayal they've faced, their resolve to fight back remains unshaken.*

**INT. ABANDONED SAFEHOUSE - DAY**
*The next morning, Lucas and Eva receive an encrypted message from an unknown contact. The message contains information about a high-level meeting of the organization's leaders, presenting an opportunity for Lucas and Eva to strike.*
*Lucas and Eva discuss the implications of the message, weighing their options.*
**LUCAS**
(thoughtfully)
This could be our chance to get close to the leaders and gather crucial information. We need to be careful and strategic.**EVA**
(determined)
Agreed. We can't afford to make any mistakes. This is our chance to turn the tables and hit them where it hurts.*They prepare for their next move, knowing that the stakes have never been higher. Their focus is on infiltrating the meeting and uncovering the truth behind the organization's operations.*
*As they finalize their plans, there's a sense of determination and resolve in the air. Despite the challenges they've faced and the betrayal they've suffered, Lucas and Eva are ready to fight back and reclaim their agency.*
