Location: Seoul, South Korea
Jasmine puts gauze on Harlan's wound. Harlan leans back.
Jasmine: There, that should stop the bleeding till we can get you to a hospi-
Harlan starts to put on his polo. Jas watches as she looks at his back, full of scars. Harlan notices Jas watching.
Harlan: What?
Jasmine: Sorry, I just don't remember seeing most of those.
Jas then puts her hand on Harlan's left eye and touches a small scar.
Harlan: What about that one? Do you remember that one? Jas looks at it.
Jasmine: I do.
Jas lets go of Harlan's face. Harlan presses a button, and a window blocks Nicholas from the two.
Harlan: Don't worry, he won't be able to hear us. Let's get down to business shall we?
Harlan picks up Buddy and puts him on his lap.
Jasmine: He still likes you.
Harlan: I wasn't sure if he would still remember me. Happy that he still does.
Harlan strokes Buddy.
Harlan: Look, you got questions, and so do I. How about we answer them now?
Jasmine looks at Harlan. She thinks about it. She decides to go with it
Jasmine: Nexus.
Harlan: Come again?
Jasmine: Project Nexus.
Harlan: What is that?
Jasmine: Project Nexus is a project my dad had back in his SERPENT days.
Harlan: What is it about?
Jasmine: I don't really know.
Harlan: So what do you know about it?
Jasmine thinks about it.
Jasmine: Project Nexus was cancelled when Jasper left SERPENT. As you know, he defected and he killed his partner, Billy Atienza. Jasper made it so that only three people had access to Project Nexus.
Harlan: Who's the third?
Jasmine looks at Harlan. Harlan understands.
Harlan: Where can we find this Project Nexus?
Jasmine: My father's base of operations was in Nevada. If it's the plans they want, it's probably there.
Harlan takes this in. He nods, then he opens the window to talk to Nicholas.
Harlan: Nicholas.
Nicholas: Yes sir?
Harlan: Are we there yet?
Nicholas: Yes sir. We have arrived.
Harlan sees as they reach a T.H.E.P.A. camping site, filled with agents and a T.H.E.P.A. plane. Director Forster turns and sees them coming. He walks towards them.
Jasmine helps Harlan out of the car, then picks up Buddy. Harlan walks to Director Forster.
Director Forster: Harlan Brandle!
Harlan: Director Forster, meet Jasmine Olsen. Jas, meet my boss, Director Forster.
Forster and Jas shake hands.
Harlan: Sir, we need to get to Nevada right now!
Director Forster looks at him, confused.
Director Forster: Nevada?! What's in Nevada?
Harlan: There's an abandoned SERPENT base in Nevada. It contains the plans to something known as Project Nexus. SERPENT is going after those plans.
Director Forster: How do you know about this?
Harlan side glances at Jas, then back at Forster.
Harlan: I had a lead.
Director Forster: And would you trust this lead?
Director Forster looks at Harlan.
Harlan: Yes. Yes I would sir.
Director Forster thinks. Finally, he allows him.
Director Forster: Ok, GO. Take a task force with-
Harlan: No sir. Me and Jas go alone.
Director Forster: What do you mean
Harlan: Please sir. Trust me.
Director Forster thinks about it, then allows. He nods in approval. Just then, Nicholas walks towards them.
Nicholas: Agent Brandle. Director Forster. Agent Brandle, I've been instructed to give you this.
Nicholas hands a new watch.
Nicholas: Press the crown three times and you will get a five second window before it will self destruct.
Harlan gets the watch, but passes it to Jas, who puts it on.
Nicholas: Sir, the plane is ready.
Harlan looks at Director Forster.
Director Forster: Good luck Harlan.
Harlan: Thank you sir. Thank you.
Director Forster holds out his hand, and Harlan shakes it.
After that, Harlan and Jas walk up the plane. Next stop: Nevada.
