Los Angeles, California
JUSTIN (O/S)
(serious, almost devastatingly)
I will not accept that assumption Uno
INT - PRODIGY APARTMENT - NIGHT
Justin and Uno sit in the lounge room in front of the television. Uno has a bag of chips that he is crunching noisily, while Justin holds two DVDs up - The Matrix and The Last Samurai, waving them enthusiastically in the air as they argue.
UNO
Deny all you want, Justin, but The Matrix is and always will be a far superior
film to 'The Crappy Last Samurai'.
JUSTIN
You are so full of it. You can not even compare the two.
UNO
Crappy Samurai is just a chick-flick with swords
JUSTIN
Listen to me, Uno, Crappy Sa... The Last Samurai is about something
- duty, honour, love
UNO
Yer, and The Matrix is about something too - reality, illusion, destiny, gunfire
Justin snorts in disagreement.
UNO
(shaking his head)
You simply can not prefer Tom Cruise to Carrie-Anne Moss... (biting into a
chip and looking at Justin challengingly) I won't let you.
A wry smile pulls the corner of Justin's mouth up as he takes The Last Samurai out of it's case. Mercedes walks into the lounge carrying a bottle of coke and a bowl of candy and shakes her head at the two guys, smiling.
MERCEDES
You two are tragic, really. Whilst our very freedom hangs in the balance you
continue to argue the merit of movies. I'm quite sure the only reason you are
still here Uno is to carry on the argument over whether or not Terminator 3
exceeded it's predecessors.
Uno raises a pointed finger at Justin as if to silence him. Justin closes his mouth and screws up his face.
UNO
You know I'm right about Terminator.
Mercedes settles down on the couch between the two boys. Trinity enters dragging a Zebra-print bean bag behind her.
TRINITY
Speaking of Terminator (she holds up the Terminator DVD)
UNO
(protesting)
Hey! But Justin wanted to watch Tom cruise in a dress...
Trinity rolls her eyes at him and then puts the DVD in. Absently she turns and yells toward the hallway.
TRINITY
Luke! We're starting the...
Almost as soon as she starts speaking a realization creeps over her face and she halts, drawing in hard breaths as tears well in her eyes. She furrows her brow, leaps to her feet and runs out of the apartment.
The others look on sadly. Both Uno and Justin go to get up to follow but Mercie halts them.
MERCEDES
I'll go
EXT - CITY STREET - NIGHT
Mercie walks out onto the street, her eyes darting about in search of Trinity. She sees her walking away from the apartment, her arms hugging her body protectively.
MERCIE
Trinity! Trinity wait...
Trinity turns around sadly. Mercie catches up. They sit on a park bench for a moment in silence before Trinity, her eyes staring blankly out onto the street, speaks.
MUSICAL TRACK: 'Here Without You' by 3 Doors Down (Make sure you right click and open in a new window) (click here to listen)
TRINITY
It's been so long, and I know he's gone, you know. But... sometimes, sometimes I
just forget.
MERCEDES
I know what you mean. Everyday I half expect to wake up and see Dina in the
kitchen trying to cook breakfast or laughing with Justin over the comics in the
paper. It's just a normal human reaction I guess.
TRINITY
Will it ever go away?
MERCEDES
I don't think so. But it will get better. I mean, it has to, right?
TRINITY
(sadly, as tears slip down her cheeks)
Yeah. But it hurts. To know that he doesn't... he doesn't think about me, he
doesn't remember me. Sometimes I think that that would be better - that
he has it easier. He doesn't know what he's missing... but I... It just hurts,
you know?
MERCEDES
Yeah, I know.
She leans over and hugs Trinity, Trinity sobs, her cries muffled by Mercie's shoulder.
EXT - CENTRE 16 - NIGHT (Musical track continues)
The stars glitter in the cloudless sapphire desert sky. A lone sentinel, the ring barked-tree stands vigil some distance from the large cement building. A slight breeze stirs tuffs of grass peeking through the cracked, dry ground surrounding the neat strip of fake-looking bright green turf circling Centre 16.
INT - SUB LEVEL 9 CENTRE 16 - NIGHT (Musical track continues)
Text On Screen:
Sub-Level 9
Centre 16
Salt Lake City, Utah
A fluorescent light flickers ominously, a faint buzzing sound reverberating down the long hall. LUKE walks almost listlessly down the empty corridor, passing each large metal door with red numbers painted on them, 1 through 10. His fingers trace the outline of the number seven, before he turns back to the door marked '3'.
He swipes a card and a green light flashes. He pulls the door open, it's hinges protesting loudly.
Inside are numerous photos of Trinity as well as her belongings scattered in crates about the small storage room.
Emptying a crate, Luke turns it over and sits on it, slowly sifting through the contents now scattered on the floor.
He picks up a Creed CD and smiles
FLASHBACK 1.09 - Ho, Ho, Who
Trinity pulls a case that jewellery comes in from the bag, and looks at Luke, a mixture of happiness, delight, surprise and shock on her face.
LUKE
Well I was going to get you the new Creed CD, but I had heard that it just
didn't live up to 'Human Clay', so...
Trinity opens the box to reveal a silver ring and pendent, decorated by small silver flowers with tiny diamonds as their centres.
Trinity looks up at Luke, a smile spread across her face and tears almost welling in her eyes.
END FLASHBACK
He puts the CD down and picks up a shirt, holding it to his face, feeling its softness under his skin. He has several flashbacks to kissing Trinity/touching her skin.
Luke takes an enlarged surveillance photo of Trinity from the pile and traces his fingers down her face gently. Tears spill from his eyes and slide down his cheeks.
CAMERA spins around him, and we see many objects relating to Trinity that have been collected by The Centre over time.
Luke buries his head in his hands and cries.
OPENING CREDITS
From 1982 – 1998, an insular, secretive agency known only as 'The Centre', carried out the most advanced program ever attempted by such an organization. The program, deemed 'Project Prodigy', involved the most talented and intelligent minds of this millennia; 15 children, raised from infancy in the sub-levels of Centre 16, Salt Lake City, Utah, whose collective intelligence exceeded even advanced computer systems. They were The Prodigies. Child Geniuses. A resource unlike any other. A living super-computer with the ability to think, feel and predict. For more than a decade these children fabricated some of the most highly developed systems and programs ever created by the human mind… until one night, The Prodigies ran away…

INT - MISS MONROE'S OFFICE - DAY
Miss Monroe is bustling about her office with a can of air freshener. JC enters, a confused look on his face.
MISS MONROE
I am never going to get the stench of Fallen out of this office.
JC chuckles.
JC
Well at least Rooney's gone.
Miss Monroe continues spraying.
MISS MONROE
(muttering to herself)
I'm going to have to relocate... I wonder if I can move the air-cooler.
JC's smile widens, before his face becomes serious again.
JC
Monroe, was there a briefing this morning, about a security breach?
Monroe turns, her interest peaked, and her concern over her office now suddenly forgotten.
MISS MONROE
No, why?
JC
I was woken up last night to the sound of the code 17 alarms...
MISS MONROE
The alarms that signal an escape attempt...
JC
Yeah. No-one's said anything?
MISS MONROE
(narrowing her eyes)
No... But they will...
She storms from her office determinedly.
INT - CALVIN'S OFFICE - DAY
Miss Monroe and her father are arguing. Calvin and Roschelle are also in the office, Calvin looking discernibly disinterested, as usual.
MISS MONROE
(her voice raised)
What do you mean 'need to know only'?
MR MONROE
Exactly that. Those who needed to know, know, therefore you obviously didn't
need to know.
Miss Monroe narrows her eyes at him.
MISS MONROE
When one of the subjects tries to escape, I need to know. Especially when
that subject is presumably under our control...
MR MONROE
It's irrelevant now. Seven was returned to renewal wing and the flaw has been
corrected. He is now fully functional.
MISS MONROE
Funny that I don't find that comforting
Miss Monroe turns to Roschelle.
MISS MONROE
What do you think Roschelle?
ROSCHELLE
I have already expressed my opinions on this matter to your father. I do not
believe that Seven is mentally or emotionally fit to be of service to the
centre. His feelings for Subject o-three are triggering memories. I fear this
recent procedure at renewal wing will only serve to exacerbate the problem.
At this, Calvin interjects.
CALVIN
Quite the contrary, Doctor, preliminary reports suggest that the new procedure,
while not being completely successful, has indeed worked to our advantage. Seven
has memories of Three, but he does not remember her. (He shrugs) This has
caused a delusion that she is in fact, evil and possessing him. He longs to hunt
her down and kill her.
Miss Monroe narrows her eyes again.
CALVIN
That will be all. You are excused
(He motions to Roschelle and Miss Monroe, before turning to Mr Monroe)
A word before you leave, Malcolm.
Roschelle and Miss Monroe leave disgruntledly, while Malcolm remains seated coolly, an eyebrow raised. Calvin stares disinterested out the window toward the desert.
As soon as Miss Monroe and Roschelle are gone, Calvin almost lunges at Malcolm, his face angry.
CALVIN
How dare you disobey a direct instruction! I told you that Seven was not to be
returned to Renewal Wing, and yet you defy me?
MR MONROE
I did what I believed to be in the best interests of the project.
CALVIN
I does not matter what you believe, Malcolm, it matters what I tell you
to do.
MR MONROE
Your judgment of the situation was incorrect and potentially disastrous. I dealt
with the situation in the matter I deemed most fit - disobeying your order for
the betterment of The Centre.
CALVIN
I am in charge around here - it's best you deal with that fact in a timely
manner. Make no mistake - I will take action against you.
Mr Monroe tilts his head to the side.
MR MONROE
(somewhat falsely)
I apologize, Calvin. I did not mean to impugn your authority. It will not happen
again.
CALVIN
(threateningly)
See that it doesn't it.
MR MONROE
Although you said so yourself, the situation has been advantageous.
Malcolm leaves, Calvin turns back to the desert, his face hard.
INT - PRODIGY APARTMENT - DAY
Trinity and Uno sit in the lounge room meditating, Uno balancing precariously on one palm, the rest of his body suspended mid air. Mercedes is fixing Trinity's motorcycle in the kitchen. Justin exits the bathroom, wearing jeans and no shirt, toweling his hair dry.
JUSTIN
Merc, that's a kitchen, not a garage.
MERCEDES
Well next time let's get an apartment with a garage...
Justin flicks Mercedes with the towel and she yelps.
Distracted, Uno crashes to the ground.
UNO
Great, just great.
Trinity smiles, still in a calm state.
TRINITY
You must learn to distance your mind... to separate yourself from your
surroundings.
UNO
(sarcastic)
Well, sorry Obi-Wan, but if a guy could get a little peace around here... (he
looks pointedly to Merc and Justin in the kitchen)
A shadow falls over Trinity's face and Uno immediately regrets the Star Wars reference.
UNO
Hey, Trin I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
Trinity smiles sadly.
TRINITY
No, it's okay... (she pauses) I'm just gonna go... have a shower.
She gets up and leaves, Uno looks sad.
Suddenly there is a knock on the door. Mercedes, Justin and Uno glance toward it simultaneously, fear evident on their faces.
Putting a T-Shirt on, Justin walks slowly toward the door.
JUSTIN
Who is it?
There is no answer. He turns back to Mercie and Uno.
UNO
Well, The Centre wouldn't knock...
Justin pulls the door open to reveal a deserted corridor. He looks to the ground to see a large envelope. Justin picks it up, taking one more look around before closing the door.
He walks back into the lounge, where both Uno and Mercedes now are, ripping the top of the envelope open. He pulls several photos from the envelope and a note that reads:
I have information. LA International airport lounge. Today, 4pm.
He hands the letter to Uno and turns his attention to the photos, a look of horror crossing his face. We see they are enlarged satellite photos of Dina being forced into a military-looking vehicle in convoy. He flicks through them, each a different angel and shot, showing a span of time. We see one of Dina's mother laying face-up on the ground, a bullet hole in her head. As he flicks through them he drops them on the ground, Uno picks them up and studies them. Mercedes, from the other side of lounge room, looks on worriedly.
MERCEDES
What? What is it?
Uno flicks a photo over to Mercedes.
UNO
It's Dina... she's in trouble.
Mercedes looks at the photo and instantly drops it to the ground, covering her mouth with her hand, stifling a scream.
Justin drops the last photo to the ground, it floats down in SLO-MO. We see an enlarged photo of Dina, looking frightened as she is shoved into a van.
INT - PRODIGY APARTMENT - DAY
The gang sit around the table - Trinity sitting on it at the end, Uno leaning against a wall casually and Merc and Justin sitting across from each other.
TRINITY
I say we go. We can't leave Dina on her own - not like Luke. We can't let that
happen again.
JUSTIN
We shouldn't rush into anything until we know more. My question is - if the
Centre doesn't have her, who does?
UNO
I think I know...
(everyone turns to look at him)
When we broke into Dynalabs, Annabelle said she knew what I was, but I got the
feeling she was talking about something bigger than Prodigy...
MERCEDES
You think she's at Gradoi?
UNO
No, they wouldn't hold her there...
MERCEDES
Then where is she?
TRINITY
We don't know - that's why we've got to meet whoever it is that wants to meet
us...
EXT - RING-BARKED TREE - DAY
Miss Monroe stands underneath the tree smoking. JC approaches shuffling his feet and his hands in his pockets.
JC
They're bad for you know.... Lung cancer
Miss Monroe sighs.
MISS MONROE
I have an ultimatum to recapture 9 escaped geniuses who have so far eluded us -
in three months or I'm dead - Tell em why I should be worried about lung cancer?
JC
I see your point.
They stand in silence for a few moments longer, JC shifting and fidgeting as always.
MISS MONROE
It should be dead you know... this tree.
JC glances at Monroe.
MISS MONROE
The tissue that conducts water and nutrients has been removed. It's supposed to
be dead, but it's still alive.
JC
Like your father.
MISS MONROE
Like my father...
JC
He wants to see you in his office...
MISS MONROE
Thanks JC.
She throws the cigarette on the ground and grinds her foot over it perhaps a little too violently.
INT - LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LOUNGE - DAY
People bustle around the lounge carrying coffee and suitcases. Justin enters, walking through the metal detectors. He sees Agent Rowan Cade sitting at a table in the far corner. Justin furrows his brow and looks around the lounge again, slightly panicked.
He touches his comm unit.
JUSTIN
It's Cade, the FBI agent. Can you girls see any other agents around? We may be
walking into a trap...
We see Trinity sitting on a seat nearby, newspaper in hand. Her eyes dart around quickly.
TRINITY (into comm unit)
Nope... all clear from my view.
MERCEDES (over comm unit)
Same here.
JUSTIN
What about you Uno?
We see Uno walking past the lounge dressed as a security guard and wearing a very large black moustache and a long-haired wig.
UNO
Negative, amigo.
JUSTIN
(drawing in a long breath)
Okay, I'm going in.
Justin walks into the lounge and sits down at the table with Cade. Cade looks at him grimly.
CADE
I wasn't sure if you'd come.
JUSTIN
After the great visual aids you left us...
CADE
(getting straight down to business)
Look, I don't know who... what you people are, or what you're involved in, but I
want to help her, and the more I know, the safer you all will be.
JUSTIN
We don't need you to protect us, Agent Cade. What we need to know is where Dina
is being held...
CADE
Dina...
Cade looks thoughtful for a moment before sliding a folder across to Justin. Justin opens it to reveal blueprints and more satellite photos.
CADE
She's being held at a research facility just outside the city by an organization
known as The Association. The FBI doesn't have much on them, but all I could get
is in that folder.
JUSTIN
(to himself)
What would they want with her?
CADE
I don't know. Look, I need to know what's going on here... who are you?
Justin goes to speak but stops himself.
JUSTIN
Thank-you for the information, Agent Cade.
He stands and goes to leave.
CADE
I want to help...
Justin pauses for a moment, as if considering.
JUSTIN
(his tone harsh)
You want to help? Don't contact us again... you'll lead them straight to us.
CADE
Lead who?
Justin walks away, leaving Cade confused and disheartened.
INT - MR MONROE'S OFFICE - DAY
Miss Monroe opens the door slowly, Mr Monroe looks up from his paper work.
MR MONROE
Ah, hello pumpkin.
MISS MONROE
What did you want?
MR MONROE
I know you have questions, sweetheart. I'm going to try and answer them as best
I can.
Miss Monroe narrows her eyes suspiciously.
MISS MONROE
Okay... why did you let us think you were dead?
MR MONROE
After the subjects escaped... after the project failed, Rooney was sent in to
evaluate. My life was in jeopardy. During an attempt at reclaiming Subject
Seven, he shot me. My injuries were substantial, but I survived. I let the
Centre think I was dead, until I had some sort of leverage, something to barter
my way back into the Centre.
MISS MONROE
That's why you assumed the identity of The Captain.
MR MONROE
Yes. I hoped to recapture the subjects and use them as a bargaining chip.
MISS MONROE
So why did you tell me to come to Utah and finish your work?
MR MONROE
Project Prodigy is more than just another Centre research project, pumpkin. It's
an initiative that will revolutionize the world. What these kids can do is
incredible - and who ever controls them, controls the way the world is changed.
It's our project, sweetheart. The Monroe's. Yours and mine and your mother's. I
needed you here to keep the Monroe name alive, to make our presence felt until
my return.
Miss Monroe nods slowly, her eyes filling with tears.
MISS MONROE
You could have told me... you could have told us you weren't dead...
Mr Monroe moves toward Miss Monroe and hugs her, the motion seeming somewhat mechanical, but emotion nonetheless.
Tears stream down Miss Monroe's face. Over Miss Monroe's shoulder, we see that her fathers face is cold, impassive.
The phone interrupts their moment. Mr Monroe picks it up, his face emotionless. Hanging it up again he turns to his daughter.
MR MONROE
We've got a location on a group of subjects - Security cameras in the Los
Angeles international airport have identified 06 and three other possibles.
MISS MONROE
Let's go!
The two head out the door hurriedly.
EXT - RESEARCH FACILITY - NIGHT
MUSICAL TRACK: 'Ready Steady Go' by Paul Oakenfold (Make sure you right click and open in a new window) (click here to listen)
Justin, Mercedes, Trinity and Uno, all dressed in black, stalk the perimeter of the facility.
Uno attaches cables to the fence and Justin cuts out a square.
Trinity slips under gracefully, running toward a guard. She holds up her hand, obviously using her empathic manipulation. The guard stands still, staring straight ahead. She nods to the others, who follow.
The round the facility to a loading bay. Mercedes and Trinity knock out the security guard and a few workers.
Uno plugs his laptop into a the computer terminal in the loading bay office. We see him hack into the facility's mainframe, accessing the files that show where Dina is being held.
Justin stands guard near him.
UNO
She's being held on level three, Lab 12.
TRINITY
Let's get her back...
UNO
Right, I'm looping the security feed (clicks a button flamboyantly) now!
Justin and Mercedes move out, followed by Trinity.
TRINITY
(to Uno as she leaves)
Be careful.
Uno smiles roguishly.
UNO
Aren't I always?
Uno stays behind while the other three move out.
Trinity, Mercedes and Justin run down a corridor, finding a flight of stairs they climb up until the see a door marked '3'.
They bust the door open and run toward Lab 12
Trinity stands guard at the door while Mercie and Justin runs in, knocking out a Lab tech. Mercedes looks up in horror to see Dina suspended in a large glass tube full of a crystal-looking gel. Several air tubes run to her nose and mouth.
Mercedes rushes to the controls and looks at them confusedly.
Justin joins her, but they can't figure out what to press.
Mercedes grabs a metal stretcher an throws it at the glass, which shatters, the gel oozing onto the ground.
Mercie picks up Dina, pulling the tubes from her mouth and checking if she was breathing.
MERCEDES
She's okay...
Jusitn nods and picks her up, carrying her in his arms. Mercedes and him run out of the Lab to join Trinity. Uno's voice crackles over the comm unit.
UNO
(over comms)
We've got company... Lot's of it.
INT - LOADING BAY - NIGHT
From Uno's Point-Of-View we see several military-type vehicles pull up.
UNO
You won't be able to get out this way... you'll have to take the drainage
tunnels in Sub-Level 4...
Uno packs up his laptop.
INT - THE FACILITY - NIGHT
JUSTIN
Okay, head to the extraction point, we'll meet you there.
Trinity, Mercedes and Justin (carrying Dina) run down the corridor and down the stairwell.
They hear footsteps above them and Trinity casts a glance back to reveal they are being pursued by several guards.
She stops as the others continue on and starts to fight the guards, trying to slow them down. There are too many and she becomes overcome, jumping over the rail and onto the flight of stairs below, just behind Justin, Mercedes and Dina.
Justin busts the door open to Sub-Level 4 and they are greeted by a dark, foul-smelling room. Mercedes pushes the door closed and locks it.
EXT - TREES NEAR THE FACILITY - NIGHT
Uno stands cautiously by a black van, waiting for the others to arrive. We hear a chopper and Uno looks to the sky to see a Centre helicopter coming into land.
UNO
(into his comm unti)
We've got Centre operatives! Justin do you read?
INT - DRAINAGE TUNNELS - NIGHT
JUSTIN
We're on our way!
The gang make their way through the tunnels.
EXT - TREES - NIGHT
A spotlight illuminates Uno just as the Centre chopper lands. Several perimeter guards shoot at him, the bullets hitting the van as he takes cover.
We see petrol begin to spill on the grass, and Uno takes off just as another bullet hits the van and it explodes.
UNO
Justin, we've lost our wheels!
The sweepers get out of the chopper and begin returning fire to the guards. We see Miss Monroe, Mr Monroe, and Fallen get out of the chopper.
MISS MONROE
This is a freaking war zone!
MR MONROE
(yelling to the Sweepers)
Just get those subjects!
EXT - DRAINAGE TUNNEL EXIT - NIGHT
Trinity, Mercedes and Justin (carrying Dina) exit the tunnel, Uno is there.
UNO
What do we do?
At that, a van pulls up beside them, the gang launch into defensive stances, but the door opens and we see that it is Cade.
CADE
Get in!
The gang jump in and the van speeds away, leaving the Sweepers and guards shooting behind them.
INT - HOSPITAL - DAY
Dina lays in a hospital bed weak but awake, breakfast on the table in front of her.
Trinity and Mercedes sit around, as well as Cade, and Uno is picking at Dina's breakfast tray. Justin enters dressed as a Doctor.
JUSTIN
How are you feeling?
DINA
I've been better... been worse too. (she looks sad) I don't know what they
wanted me for... I was out of it most of the time.
JUSTIN
That's okay, you're alright, that's the main thing.
DINA
And what about mom?
Justin shakes his head sadly and tears slip form Dina's eyes.
DINA
She died because of me...
TRINITY
I'm quite sure she would have rather died because she knew you, rather than not
have known you at all.
Dina nods slowly. Justin smiles sadly.
JUSTIN
Anyway, I need to see you all outside for moment, lets give Dina some rest.
Uno, Trinity and Mercedes leave the room, Uno taking the tray of food with him. Cade looks up at Dina.
DINA
I can't tell you what's
going on. It's best if you don't know me - know us - know anything about us. I
mean, look what happened to my mom...
CADE
I can help you...
DINA
(sadly)
No-one can help us now...
CADE
What do you mean?
Dina closes her eyes and puts her head back against the pillow. Cade gets up to leave but she calls him over to her.
DINA
Cade...
He walks up beside her and she grasps his hand.
DINA
Thank-you...
Her eyes close again and Cade leaves the room.
INT - HOSPITAL CORRIDOR - DAY
Cade walks past the others and they smile. Justin shakes his hand.
JUSTIN
Thank-you
UNO
Yeah, thanks man.
Cade smiles sadly.
CADE
I hope you know what you're doing - that you can do this alone.
He nods knowingly and they all look contemplative as he walks away.
Justin turns to the others.
JUSTIN
Things are starting to get pretty tough... I've been thinking... I think we
should split up.
Mercedes looks shocked.
JUSTIN
And we shouldn't tell each other where we're going - that way if one of us is
caught, the others will still be safe.
MERCEDES
Justin, no...
JUSTIN
Merc, I know, I don't want to do it either...
TRINITY
Then don't...
JUSTIN
We have to...
Uno remains silent.
JUSTIN
We're not always going to be able to get away, you know...
Tears run down Merc's face.
TRINITY
It's right now, when things are at their
worst, that we need each other the most...
JUSTIN
Trinity I've thought about this, and it's for the best...
MERCEDES
When? When do we leave?
JUSTIN
(tears stinging his own eyes)
Tonight
Mercedes cries, Trinity looks angry and Uno remains impassive.
EXT - BUS STATION - NIGHT
MUSICAL TRACK: 'Goodbye To You' by Michelle Branch (Make sure you right click and open in a new window) (click here to listen)
Rain beats down heavily.
Trinity hugs Mercedes, Dina moves forward and also hugs her. Uno pats her on the head and touches her cheek affectionately.
Justin hugs Mercedes, tears streaming down their faces. She gets on the bus, it drives away, it's tires splashing up sprays of water.
Trinity almost glares at Justin as he turns away, climbing into his new jeep. Dina hops into her own car sadly. They drive away, leaving Uno and Trinity standing alone on the bus platform.
Uno turns to Trinity and squeezes her hand, before turning around, his long leather coat flicking out behind him, he runs a hand through his hair to spike it up again after the rain matted it to his head.
Trinity is left alone on the platform, the rain falling down on her in a steady chant, in rhythm with her tears.
THE ENDNEXT WEEK ON PRODIGY - 1.19 - Tic Tac Toe Part One - Against the wishes of Justin, Uno enlists Trinity's help to investigate a new C16 operation 'Tic, Tac, Toe'...
