Production Notes
**FADE IN:** **INT. REIGN’S COMMAND CENTER - NIGHT** Reign is on a video call with her forger, a nervous man in a dimly lit room in Brussels. FORGER It’s impossible! The documents were perfect! The signature was clean! REIGN The seller is dead, Henri. Vance knew it. How? Reign hangs up and starts her own investigation. She pulls up the accident report for Anton Dubois. It was a single-car crash. Ruled an accident. She hacks into the city’s traffic camera network, pulling footage from the time of the crash. She watches the footage, fast-forwarding, looking for anything. She finds it. A few minutes before the crash, another car is seen pulling away from Dubois’s vehicle. It’s a standard, unmarked sedan. She zooms in on the driver. It’s Det. Vance. Reign leans back, a cold, terrifying realization dawning on her. Vance didn’t just find a loose thread. He created it. He murdered the seller to create a flaw in her perfect paperwork. He’s framing her. Her face hardens. The game has changed. He’s no longer a nuisance. He’s a monster. And he has to be put down. **SMASH CUT TO BLACK.** **ON SCREEN TEXT: THE RULES ARE GONE. THIS IS NOT A GAME ANYMORE.** **END OF EPISODE 19**
