KYXL

Wanted

BACK AT THE APARTMENT AFTER THE VISIT AT DR. SABER'S STATE, Adam lays down on the couch, watching TV, not long after, he watches the announcement of Captain Rob MC's police operation: the ANTI-COBRA DISPOSAL, to appeal every police officer around the city to join in the operation for the fight against the Cobras. Adam is reluctant: he remembers that he was banned from the case by Captain Rock MC, the one who threathed him by choking his neck; he turns off the TV. The door bell rings and he goes to answer. It was Kate, who came to pay Adam a visit.

- "Agent Adam Jones?"
- "Ma'am?"
- [shows her badge] "Special agent Kate Howard of Strike Team 11."
- "How did you get my address?"
- "From your black friend." [Adam thinks on Walker] "Just for a couple of hours that I'll be visiting you. I'm here to collect information about what you know about the Cobra case." [Kate walks in]
- [Adam warns her] "You know me I'm not like anyone else. No one believes in me."
- "Neither do I. But there's one thing from you that caught my attention on you. This KYXL you told about."
- "The vigilantes killed the Cobras at the docks and at the subway..."
- "I know. We all know. Let's talk about the terminal cancer." [both walking to the living room] "For years, we're being in a fight against this disease. The doctors haven't even found the source of it at all."
- "Without the source of it, they can't even find the cure for it."
- "True. But the facility you told us about was working roughly for a good purpose." [she approaches Adam] "Do you realize how much this means for those dying people at the hospitals?"
- "There were allies of the evil among those who worked at the facility."
- "Maybe it's because they didn't wanted the people to live past the cancer." [grabbing David's picture frame] "I truly respect this man. He was a hero."
- [Adam turns his face around] "Yeah. He's dead already."
- [aggressively] "Don't say that about your father! You already lost your family, and I don't wanna loose mine!!"
- [feels sorry] "Do you fight for your family?"
- [sniffs] "My father went to the Marines at the Pearl Harbor when I was 13. On his first assignment, he went to fight the Arabs at Iraq. His body blew up when he felt on a mine. My mom is in the hospital. Four months, fighting for her life. Against the cancer. [cross her arms and tries to hold her tears] "I lost my father, but I don't wanna loose my mom. She's all I have."
- [Adam responds] "That's why you desperately pray for a cure?"
- "What you found out is the answer to uncover a miracle. Believing or not, these vigilantes, or the KYXL whatever you call them, are the answer."

The couple drinks a cup of coffee while they speak about Adam's banishment from the Cobra case:

- "I'm banned from the case."
- "But you tried to prove them that you know the truth. You can't give up."
- "I know, but your boss won't let me. He nearly choked me to death telling me not to show up my name on it never again."
- "Adam, the ANTI-COBRA Disposal is not an ordinary operation, it's a suicide mission. And that son of a bitch wants every cop on it. We all know that it's gonna end up with thousands of lives at risk and people are gonna die, but the others hesitate to join in the operation. It's just a stupid matter of improvise, so the cops want to become heroes for nothing. You're the only one who can make Captain Rock change his mind and forfeit this operation, let us follow the right way."

Adam finishes his coffee and leaves to the kitchen:

- "I can't do it. Or else I'll loose my badge or leave the city."
- "Adam, open your eyes! You're on the bright side, even your daddy was!
- "Hey! Don't talk to my dad like that!"
- "Are you a real cop, or a pussy? You're gonna waste your opportunity to avenge your father!"
-"You know nothing about him!!"
-"GIVE ME A BREAK, ASSHOLE!!!"
