EPISODE 21Arc III: The WarNot Started
The Wire

Miller's wire operation reaches its terrifying climax.
**FADE IN:**

**INT. VANCE’S UNMARKED CAR - NIGHT**

Officer Miller sits in the passenger seat, her heart pounding. A tiny microphone is concealed in a pen in her pocket. Vance is driving, a smug look on his face.

MILLER
I have something for you. On Reign.

VANCE
(uninterested)
I’m not worried about her anymore.

He pulls the car over in a deserted industrial area. He turns to Miller, his eyes predatory.

VANCE (CONT’D)
I’m more interested in you. You’ve got fire. I like that. Your old partner, he had fire too. Until he got stupid. Until he got in my way.

**INT. REIGN’S SURVEILLANCE VAN - CONTINUOUS**

Reign listens, her face grim. The audio is crystal clear. It’s a confession.

REIGN
(into comms)
We got it. Get her out.

**INT. VANCE’S CAR - CONTINUOUS**

Vance leans in closer to Miller.

VANCE
But you’re not stupid, are you?

His hand brushes against the pen in her pocket. He feels the wire. His eyes go cold with rage. He yanks the pen out, revealing the microphone.

VANCE (CONT’D)
You stupid, stupid little girl.

He draws his weapon and points it at her head. Miller’s face is a mask of pure terror. In the surveillance van, the audio feed cuts out, replaced by a high-pitched squeal.

Reign watches on a hidden micro-camera feed as Vance raises his gun.

**SMASH CUT TO BLACK.**

**ON SCREEN TEXT: THERE’S NO TALKING YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS.**
