Title: Desperate Measures

ACT 1

EXT. ABANDONED CABIN - DAY

The episode opens with MARGARET driving the vehicle to an old, decrepit cabin nestled in the woods. The place looks long-forgotten but serves as a temporary sanctuary. Margaret helps LUCAS, still unconscious and severely injured, out of the car.

MARGARET
(struggling)
We need to stabilize him before we can move on. This place should be safe enough for now.

EVA
(looking around)
I'll keep watch. Let me know if you need anything.

Inside the cabin, the atmosphere is tense but focused. Margaret carefully removes Lucas's bandages to inspect his wounds. Eva stands guard by the window, her eyes scanning the surrounding forest.

ACT 2

INT. ABANDONED CABIN - LATER

Margaret works diligently, her hands steady as she changes Lucas's bandages. The room is filled with the sounds of Lucas's labored breathing and the occasional creak of the old cabin.

MARGARET
(softly)
Hang in there, Lucas. We're almost done.

Suddenly, Eva's attention is drawn by a faint noise outside. She peers through the grimy window and spots shadows moving closer. Her heart races as she realizes the danger.

EVA
(alarmed)
Margaret, we've got company! They're closing in!

Margaret quickly finishes tending to Lucas and grabs a nearby weapon. The cabin's door bursts open as JENNA and her operatives, including ORION, storm in. Jenna's face is set in a grim expression.

JENNA
(coldly)
I'm afraid this has to end here.

ACT 3

INT. ABANDONED CABIN - CONTINUOUS

Margaret immediately springs into action, confronting Jenna. The two engage in a brutal hand-to-hand fight. Despite Margaret's skill and resilience, Jenna's superior training begins to take its toll.

JENNA
(struggling)
You're making this harder than it needs to be. Just stand down!

MARGARET
(fiercely)
Not a chance. I'll protect them with my life!

Jenna's moves are precise and calculated, and despite Margaret's best efforts, Jenna manages to subdue her. Orion stands by, visibly frustrated with the situation.

ORION
(impatiently)
Enough of this. We're done here.

ACT 4

INT. ABANDONED CABIN - CONTINUOUS

As Jenna pins Margaret down, Orion steps forward, his anger palpable. He pulls out a gun with a cold, detached demeanor.

ORION
(coldly)
You've caused enough trouble. Time to end this.

Without hesitation, Orion shoots Margaret twice in the head. She slumps lifelessly, a look of shock on her face. Eva, paralyzed with horror, watches in despair as her godmother falls.

EVA
(screaming)
Margaret! No!

Lucas remains unconscious, oblivious to the violence around him. Jenna watches with a conflicted expression, clearly distressed by the unfolding brutality.

JENNA
(sadly)
I'm sorry, Eva. I didn't want it to come to this.

ACT 5

INT. ABANDONED CABIN - CONTINUOUS

Orion turns his attention to Lucas, preparing to finish him off. Eva, her fear turning into resolve, tries to muster the strength to stop him. She struggles to free herself from her restraints.

EVA
(weakly)
I won't let you... do this...

Despite her injuries, Eva manages to break free and lunges at Orion. He reacts swiftly, shooting her in the leg. She collapses, writhing in pain on the floor.

EVA
(painfully)
I'll... fight... till the end...

Orion stands over her, the gun pointed directly at her head. Eva, despite her pain, glares defiantly at him.

ORION
(coldly)
This is the end, Eva. No more chances.

The tension mounts as Orion's finger tightens on the trigger. Eva's face is a mixture of defiance and fear. Just as Orion is about to pull the trigger, the scene freezes with the gun aimed at Eva's head.

ACT 6

EXT. ABANDONED CABIN - NIGHT

The episode cuts to the outside of the cabin, where distant sounds of sirens can be heard. The setting sun casts eerie shadows around the cabin.

Inside, Eva's fate hangs in the balance as Orion stands over her. Jenna's face shows clear conflict, her feelings torn between her orders and the situation unfolding before her.

JENNA
(pleading)
Orion, there must be another way. We can't just—

Before Jenna can finish, the camera cuts to Eva's face, showing a mix of fear and bravery. The sound of the gunshot rings out, leaving the audience in suspense.

FADE OUT.
