Production Notes
**FADE IN:** **INT. ABANDONED FACTORY - NIGHT** Reign meets with El Martillo. Alone. Jonathan is furious, but she has sidelined him. EL MARTILLO You are brave. Or foolish. REIGN I’m a businesswoman. And you’re making a mess. She doesn’t offer him money. She offers him a future. A high-tech, untraceable way to launder his money through a network of international galleries and shell corporations. EL MARTILLO Why would I trust you? REIGN Because you’re a butcher, not a banker. You need me. He is intrigued. But he needs a sign of good faith. EL MARTILLO (CONT’D) I want the man who planted the bomb. His head on a platter. Then we can talk. Reign knows who it is. It’s FRANK, Jonathan’s most loyal, longest-serving soldier. A man who would die for him. **SMASH CUT TO BLACK.** **ON SCREEN TEXT: A SOLDIER’S LIFE FOR A TRAITOR’S SISTER?** **END OF EPISODE 27**
