INT. the Sully hut - DAY

Sam is visibly anxious, looking around cautiously. He takes his dad, Jake, to a corner of the hut for privacy.

SAM

(whispering)

Dad, I need to tell you something. I think I'm being watched by an evil force from U.N.I.T. I got fired and my contract terminated

Jake's eyes widen with concern.

JAKE

(worried)

Watched? By U.N.I.T? How do you know this, Sam?

Sam takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself.

SAM

I've noticed someone tracking my movements, but I destroyed the phone they were using to monitor me. They won't be able to find me now.

Jake's expression softens as he realizes the weight of the situation.

JAKE

(whispering)

Who else knows about this, Sam?

Sam glances around the hut and then locks eyes with his father.

SAM

(whispering)

Just you, Dad. I wanted to be honest with you, to let you know what's happening.

Jake's face shows a mix of concern and determination.

JAKE

(hugging Sam)

Sam, our family's safety is what matters the most. If this person is caught, will everyone be safe?

Sam nods, reassured by his father's support.

SAM

Yes, Dad, of course. We'll make sure everyone is safe.

Jake smiles warmly at his son, grateful for his honesty.

JAKE

Thank you for being honest with me, son. We're in this together, and we'll protect our family.

Neytrir, standing nearby, overhears their conversation. Although she remains silent for now, she hopes that in time she will find an opportunity to reach out and offer her assistance.
