Lia: WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!
She stares at the screen displaying her name as the number one most wanted on the FBI list.
Lia: What are we gonna do now?
Whitehat, his face a mix of concern and confusion, responds.
Whitehat: Not sure, but Blackwatch might be able to help you.
Lia's frustration is evident as she explains her reasoning.
Lia: Don't you get it?
Whitehat, trying to grasp the situation, asks cautiously.
Whitehat: What do you mean?
Lia: Amila is the head of Digital Intelligence in Blackwatch. As soon as she was released, she called in a favor and got my name on that list. thats the only way
Whitehat's expression shifts from confusion to realization.
Whitehat: So what?
Lia's voice carries a mix of urgency and desperation.
Lia: Amila is our boss. If we head to HQ and tell them this, they'll notify her. We can't trust anyone there.
Whitehat contemplates their options, weighing the risks.
Whitehat: We might have to risk it, though, right?
Lia's response is quick and resolute.
Lia: Call HQ. Ask them about me. I guarantee you they will not help us.
Whitehat dials the number for the director of Blackwatch, his tension palpable.
Director (over the phone): This line is for emergencies only, Whitehat. What do you want?
Whitehat hesitates before delivering the alarming news.
Whitehat: Lia is at the top of the FBI's most wanted list.
Director's voice carries a note of disbelief.
Director: You mean Lia, your partner?
Whitehat confirms with a heavy sigh.
Whitehat: Yeah.
Director's response is unexpectedly callous.
Director: Well, I guess we can find you a new partner.
Whitehat: What?!? No, I mean can't you help her?
Director: Helping her will bring a lot of attention on us.
Director: If that's all, I will have to go now.
The director hangs up the call abruptly, leaving Whitehat and Lia in a state of disbelief.
Whitehat: They can't... help you...
Lia's determination intensifies as she speaks.
Lia: See, listen, we got to do this alone. We need to find the van Agent 47 used.
Whitehat nods in agreement, his mind racing with the weight of their predicament.
Lia: The license plate, I remember it. We can use it to track them down.
Whitehat: It's a long shot, but it's the only lead we have.
Lia's eyes narrow as her determination turns into resolve.
Lia: We can't trust anyone now. It's just you and me against the world.
Whitehat's gaze meets hers, and he nods solemnly.
Whitehat: We'll find them, Lia.
The nurse had alerted the police, but by the time they arrived, both Whitehat and Lia had vanished. Inside the hospital room, the FBI had also made their way, led by Special Agent Mia.
Mia: Hello, I'm Special Agent Mia.
Police Officer: Yeah, we called as soon as we knew she was the number 1 most wanted.
Mia: Good. Tell me if you see her again.
The police officer hesitates before asking a question.
Police Officer: May I ask you something?
Mia: Sure, what?
Police Officer: Why is she the number 1 most wanted?
Mia's internal thoughts reflect her ongoing investigation.
Mia (thinking): That's what I'm trying to find out.
Mia responds professionally.
Mia: That's classified information.
Police Officer: Oh, okay.
Cutting to a safe house, Lia and Whitehat are deep in conversation.
Lia: After calling in almost every favor I have, I managed to trace the last known location of the van.
Whitehat: Alright, that's great. Let's go.
Lia and Whitehat arrive at a garage only to find the black van completely destroyed—burned, smashed, and beyond recognition.
Lia's disappointment is evident.
Lia: No!
Whitehat, trying to console her, remarks:
Whitehat: It was a long shot anyway.
Lia's realization takes over her frustration.
Lia: Wait... I recognize this kind of burning.
Whitehat's curiosity is piqued.
Whitehat: From where?
Lia's voice drops, carrying a sense of dread.
Lia: Only one person could burn evidence this thoroughly.
Whitehat's confusion grows.
Whitehat: Who? Who could do this?
Lia drops a bombshell.
Lia: Eric Bronzel, AKA Lucifer.
Whitehat's disbelief is palpable.
Whitehat: Like the devil?
Lia confirms with a somber nod.
Lia: Yes, that's what he's called in the criminal underworld.
Whitehat's skepticism grows, prompting him to question her knowledge.
Whitehat: How do you know about the criminal underworld?
Lia's past resurfaces as she explains.
Lia: It was one of my old cases from before we met. I collaborated with an agent named Nastor. We received intel about a warehouse filled with files that could potentially threaten Blackwatch. When we arrived, the source was dead, and the files were destroyed.

Scene: The FBI interrogation room
Glitch: So, are you gonna let me go or are you gonna give up the truth?
Mia's mind races as the clock continues ticking, the weight of her decision pressing on her.
Mia: Get up.
Glitch rises from his chair, a smirk playing on his lips. Mia walks over, handcuffs at the ready, and firmly restrains him.
Glitch: So... you made your choice.
Mia remains silent, her resolve unwavering. She leads Glitch out of the interrogation room, her steps purposeful as she heads toward the exit.

Whitehat: So, where do we find this Lucifer?
Lia: He used to work for Charlotte Mayen, but after she was killed by the CIA, he went to work for a guy named Raymond Reddington.
