Production Notes
**FADE IN:** **INT. VANCE’S CAR - NIGHT** Vance’s finger tightens on the trigger. Suddenly, the car’s windows shatter. Reign’s tactical team surrounds the vehicle, weapons raised. VANCE You think you’ve won? He shoves Miller out of the car and sprints toward a pre-planned escape route—a maintenance tunnel leading to the street. **EXT. STREET - CONTINUOUS** Vance emerges from the tunnel, a triumphant sneer on his face. He’s home free. But he runs directly into a wall of blue. A dozen uniformed cops, led by a steely-eyed Internal Affairs Captain, have the exit surrounded. Jonathan stands off to the side, on the phone. He used his old street contacts to predict Vance’s escape route. Captain cuffs a stunned Vance. As he’s led away, his eyes lock with Reign, who has just arrived on the scene. VANCE (a low growl) This isn’t over. REIGN (cold) Yes, it is. **SMASH CUT TO BLACK.** **ON SCREEN TEXT: THE KING IS GONE. BUT THE THRONE IS NOT EMPTY.** **END OF EPISODE 22**
