EPISODE 25Arc III: The WarNot Started

The Old Ways

Jonathan reverts to his street instincts. Reign watches with growing dread.

**FADE IN:**

**INT. ART GALLERY - NIGHT**

Jonathan and Meech are face to face, the air thick with hatred.

JONATHAN
Get out of my gallery. And take your dogs with you.

MEECH
We’re not going anywhere. El Martillo wants to talk to the person in charge. He wants to talk to her.

Jonathan’s pride is wounded. To protect Reign, and to reassert his own dominance, he makes a decision.

JONATHAN
(to Reign)
Stay here. I’ll handle this.

He leaves with Meech, against Reign’s protests.

**INT. WAREHOUSE - LATER**

Jonathan meets with his old crew, the loyal soldiers he left behind when he went legitimate.

JONATHAN (CONT’D)
The Lobos are making a move on our city. They think we’re soft. They think we’re weak. It’s time to remind them who runs this town.

His crew cheers. He is their king again. And watching him, Reign, who has followed him, sees the old, dangerous fire in his eyes. He’s not just protecting her; he’s enjoying this.

**SMASH CUT TO BLACK.**

**ON SCREEN TEXT: THE KING HAS RECLAIMED HIS THRONE. AND HIS SWORD.**
