🎬 Scene: Prison Cell – James Visits Martin
The lights hum. Cold fluorescent glow spreads across the glass containment cell where Martin sits, bound in a reinforced jacket. His posture is relaxed — almost welcoming.
James (entering slowly):
"I want to talk."
Martin (glancing up, smiling faintly):
"Of course. It's always you, James."
James:
"You knew Evelyn… tell me who she is. What is she planning?"
Martin (calmly, leaning back):
"Let me ask you first — why are you still trying so hard to hold on to life? What is it you're hoping to protect? Yourself? Lucas? Or just a version of the world where you aren't the monster too?"
James (gaze hardening):
"I'm not here for your riddles."
Martin:
"You're always here for the riddles. That's why you came to me instead of anyone else."
(He chuckles quietly.)
Martin:
"You're still trying to find her, aren't you?"
James (tightly):
"Yeah. And I will. With or without your help."
Martin (nods slowly):
"I see... Then I'll tell you something useful — but not everything. I like to play games, James. You know, lie all the time… but once in a while? Speak a truth so bizarre that no one believes it. That's how the best survive."
James:
"What are you hiding, Martin?"
Martin (leaning forward, eyes glinting):
"From the evil smile you think I wear… you see a monster. But inside? There's still a child. Innocent. Powerless. Locked in a dark room where nobody knocked. I killed him long ago. And I became what you see now."
James (quietly):
"And yet, that same child is the reason I understand you. That's why I haven't killed you."
Martin (soft grin):
"That's why I called you my friend."

🎻 Martin's Memory: Evelyn
Martin (narrating slowly):
"Evelyn… She wasn't just another killer. She was something more. A goddess of art and pain. When we met, she told me, 'Music is my pleasure. Blood is my canvas.'"
Flashback: Evelyn sitting in candlelight, playing a haunting melody on a handmade flute. A severed arm rests beside her.
Martin (voiceover):
"I told her I played the violin. We bonded. Shared stories, made promises. I told her, 'I will never leave you.' She said, 'Then I'll keep your soul in a jar.'"
James:
"And you left her?"
Martin:
"I felt nothing anymore. No love. Just noise. She begged. I walked away."
He pauses.
Martin (smiling faintly):
"Now she's rewriting the rules."

🧊 Cut to: South Carolina – Abandoned Military Snowfield
Snow covers everything. James walks through the cold, wearing a brown winter robe similar to a warrior's kimono — thickly layered, belt fastened tight, gloves on. His breath mists into the wind. Silence surrounds him, broken only by the distant rustle of trees.
Martin (voiceover):
"She's there. Beneath the ruins. Don't fight for justice. Fight because you need to know. But remember… it's war down there."

❄️ James vs Soldiers
Two soldiers patrol near a collapsed building. James hides behind cover, tracking their movements. In seconds, he knocks one out with a silent takedown. The other turns but James already closes in, slamming him into the ice-cold wall.
James (quietly):
"Move like a ghost. Breathe like a monster."
---
❄️ Descent into the Underground
James finds a frozen hatch buried under snow. Ties his rope. Slowly descends into darkness.
At the bottom: skeletons, a mummified body with legs severed and mouth sewn shut. Chains rattle in the wind.
James (to himself):
"Just like he described it… every detail."

🗡️ Ambush by Assassin
A tall black-clad figure drops from the ceiling. Fast. Silent. Knife drawn.
Assassin:
"You came. Just as she said you would."
James dodges the first swing, wraps his belt around the attacker's arm, and stabs with the knife he took earlier. They struggle. Blood sprays. James pins him.
James:
"Who sent you?"
Assassin (smiling):
"…Evelyn. She waits in California…"
He gasps his last breath. James lets the body fall.

🧣 Final Snowfall
James stands alone in the silence. Snow falls again. He tightens his robe and stares upward.
James (quietly):
"California… Let's finish this."
He walks away, disappearing into the white storm.
🎬 Scene: Rainy Streets – California, Evelyn's Territory
Rain pours across the cracked streets. James, dressed in his brown cloak, approaches an abandoned Victorian-style house tucked away behind an iron gate. Vines have overtaken the porch. A broken sign reads: "Sonder Family Residence."
James (whispering):
"This must be it…"
He walks up the creaking steps. Inside, dust, forgotten furniture, and a photograph catches his eye. It shows a younger Evelyn with her family… smiling. Next to the photo lies a small pug statue, oddly pristine.
James (thinking):
"She tried to erase her past… and now tortures others just to bury it deeper."
A voice echoes from behind.
Guard:
"Who the hell are you?"
James (turning):
"This place is abandoned. What are you guarding?"

🎭 Cut to: Martin and Lucas – Prison
Inside Martin's glass cell, Lucas walks in. Rain hits the windows behind them.
Martin (smiling faintly):
"She told me once… she fears being forgotten. That's why she builds walls. Traps. Guards."
Lucas:
"So the black assassin in South Carolina…?"
Martin:
"Her way of painting a warning. A bit gothic, no?"
Lucas:
"You're saying James is in California?"
Martin (chuckles):
"I'd bet a violin string on it."

🕵️ Cut to: James – Inner Compound
James fights another guard silently, knocking him unconscious but sparing him. He checks the guard's belongings and finds an encrypted device and a letter in Evelyn's handwriting.
James (calling Lucas):
"Lucas. It's me. I'm alive."
Lucas (relieved):
"Damn it, James. Took you long enough. You okay?"
James:
"I'm sending two things. A letter… and a picture. Might help you understand who Evelyn was. Or what she's trying to become."
Lucas:
"Got it. You better not die on me."
James (half-smiling):
"I never do."

👤 Street Encounter – The Trap
As James walks through an alley, he hears a scream.
Woman:
"Please! Help me!"
James rushes in and sees a thug harassing a woman. He grabs the thug and slams him down. The woman looks grateful.
Woman:
"Thank you…"
But as she moves, her hand reaches for a hidden knife. James reacts instantly — grabbing her wrist and twisting her arm behind her back.
James:
"Seriously? I already knew. You're one of Evelyn's guards, right?"
Woman (panicked):
"Please… don't kill me!"
James:
"Then talk. Where is she?"
Woman (shaking):
"The tower… the left wing… That's where she waits…"

🗡️ Evelyn's Tower
James sneaks into the towering building. Inside, he kills a guard — but suddenly, Joshua appears, wearing a ceremonial black coat, wielding a katana.
Joshua (grinning):
"You're done."
Before James can react, chains launch from the walls, wrapping around his body. He struggles — but gets knocked out.

🩸 Scene: Evelyn's Chamber – Torture Room
James awakens, shackled, arms spread in a crucifixion-like pose. The air is cold. The moon glows outside the window — nearly half.
Evelyn (approaching slowly):
"So… Martin's friend. What a beautiful soul you have. Clean. Pure. Just like his."
James (coldly):
"You gonna cut my hands off? Throw acid in my face? I've heard it all."
Evelyn (smiling):
"No, darling. I'm patient. When the moon reaches half in five days… I will kill you and Martin together. It's only fitting."
James (growling):
"You'll regret touching him. Or me."
---
📱 Cut to: Lucas at Police HQ – The Threat Call
Lucas's phone rings. Caller ID: James.
He picks up — but the voice on the other side isn't James's.
Evelyn (calm, sweet):
"Hello, detective. You want him back? Give me Martin."
Lucas:
"What…? Where is he?!"
Evelyn:
"You have five days. After that, I'll slice his throat under the snowlight. Bring Martin. Or don't. I don't care."
She hangs up.
Lucas (to himself):
"shit i can't let these happen."
