Summary[]
One week after the assassinations of Silvio Caruso and Francesca De Santis in Sapienza, Providence Herald Hajun heads to Ether's R&D site in Johannesburg to investigate the destruction of the company's secret project in tandem with the killings. However, Lucas Grey ambushes Hajun in the parking garage, taking the latter's key before murdering him in cold blood.
Transcript[]
Fade in on Hajun walking towards his car in a parking garage, on the phone.
Hajun: "Ether security is in the dark about the incident, and few at the company knew about the virus, not even the board. Must have been someone at the lab."
Hajun enters the driver's seat.
Hajun: "I understand. I'll get to the bottom of this."
Grey: "Bosses unhappy? I followed you from Italy. I guess when you're invisible, you stop looking over your shoulder."
Hajun: "You did this?"
Grey: "IAGO exposed you, ICA did the heavy lifting. I just pulled some strings."
Hajun: "You out of your mind? How do you expect--"
Before Hajun can draw on him, Grey places a gun to the back of his head.
Grey: "I play dirty. That's how you defeat a stronger opponent. You strike from behind. Now give me the key."
Hajun: "You have a family? Trust me, if there's a weakness, Providence will find it."
Grey: "I'll take my chances. The key."
Hajun: "Fine."
Hajun rips the key from his lanyard and slowly hands it back to Grey.
Hajun (CONT'D): "Won't do you much good."
Grey takes the key from Hajun.
Grey: "It's funny. Cobb said the same thing."
Grey cocks the gun; Hajun realizes his fate.
Grey: "Thank you, messenger."
Hajun: "Don't. I just killed you."
Grey: "Then we're even."
Grey shoots Hajun dead.
