**INT. JACOB'S KITCHEN - DAY**
Jacob is cooking in his kitchen. He looks around frantically for seasoning in the pantry, rummaging through shelves. His face tightens in frustration as he comes up empty-handed. He sighs in defeat, tossing his kitchen towel onto the counter.
**JACOB**
(under his breath)
"Guess I've got no choice."
Jacob grabs his jacket and slips it on. Without missing a beat, he heads outside, making his way to the shed.
**EXT. JACOB'S SHED - MOMENTS LATER**
Jacob enters his shed, but instead of retrieving groceries, he hops onto his jet ski parked inside. He revs the engine, and in a burst, the shed doors swing open as he drives out into the snowy terrain.
**EXT. SNOWY LANDSCAPE - CONTINUOUS**
Jacob zooms across the frozen landscape, the icy wind cutting against his face. He suddenly notices a glimpse of another jet ski in his side mirror. His expression sharpens.
**JACOB**
(to himself)
"What do they want?"
He makes a sharp left turn, trying to lose the tail. The other rider keeps pace, relentlessly following. Jacob pushes his speed, weaving in between two massive ice glaciers. But the rider doesn't back off.
Finally, Jacob pulls to a stop near a narrow ice bank and jumps off his jet ski. The rider, a woman, brings her bike to a halt, dusting off the frost from her helmet.
**JACOB**
(cautiously)
"What do you want?"
The woman pulls off her helmet, revealing her face. Jacob's eyes widen in shock.
**JACOB**
"Caroline?"
He rushes toward her, embracing her in disbelief. But before he can process the moment, Caroline pulls out an injection device. She coldly stabs it into his neck. Jacob gasps, his body slumping to the ground as darkness takes him.
**CAROLINE**
(muttering)
"The Great Jacob Sargon..."
**INT. JACOB'S HOME - DAY**
Jacob jerks awake in his bed, his heart racing. He looks around, disoriented but relieved to be in his own home.
**JACOB**
(softly)
"Just a dream..."
As he tries to catch his breath, Caroline walks past him casually.
**CAROLINE**
(looking around)
"Roomy place."
Jacob's eyes narrow, realization dawning on him. This isn't over.
**JACOB**
(chuckles)
"Revenge is a dish best served cold."
Caroline moves into the kitchen, and Jacob glances down, realizing he's tied to the chair.
**JACOB**
(annoyed)
"Why am I tied up?"
Caroline turns around, her face suddenly serious.
**CAROLINE**
"Don't remember what you did to me?!"
Jacob's expression darkens, a cold stare locking onto hers.
**JACOB**
"I had to do it. It's a long story."
**CAROLINE**
(smirking)
"Oh really... I've got time."
**CUT TO:**
**EXT. SNOWY LANDSCAPE - SNOW TRUCK - DAY**
Two people are riding in a snow truck. Bo sits in the passenger seat, letting out a loud yawn, glancing at the endless snow around them.
**BO**
"When are we going to be there?"
The driver, Sagde, keeps her eyes on the road, her face unreadable.
**SAGE**
"We're gonna get there when we get there."
Bo grumbles under his breath.
**BO**
"I can't stand you."
**SAGE**
"Good thing you don't have to. We're here. Now hurry it up."
Bo groans but obeys.
**BO**
"Yes, ma'am."
As they exit the truck, Sagde speaks, her tone hushed.
**SAGE**
"We need to be very quiet. They're at the top of their game."
Bo nods, suddenly serious.
**BO**
"Alright."
INT. JACOB'S HOME - DAY
Caroline leans against the kitchen counter, arms crossed, waiting for Jacob's explanation. He shifts uncomfortably in the chair, his hands tied tightly behind his back.
**JACOB**
(sighs)
"Caroline, you have no idea what you got yourself into. This isn't about revenge, it's about survival."
Caroline's eyes narrow as she steps closer, her boots echoing on the cold floor.
**CAROLINE**
"Survival? You poisoned my father. You betrayed us, and for what? A little extra power?"
Jacob chuckles under his breath, shaking his head slowly.
**JACOB**
"You think I wanted to poison him? I had no choice. They made me do it, Caroline. It was them or me."
Caroline pauses for a moment, doubt flickering across her face. But it fades just as quickly as it came.
**CAROLINE**
"You're lying. You always lie. You've always been about yourself, Jacob."
Suddenly, the room trembles as the distant roar of engines breaks the tension. Caroline snaps her head toward the window, eyes widening. The sound of the approaching snow truck echoes louder by the second.
EXT. JACOB'S HOUSE - DAY
Bo and Sage hop out of the snow truck, cautiously surveying the area. Sage holds a tracking device, which beeps rapidly.
**BO**
(whispers)
"This is it. They're inside."
Sage motions for Bo to follow, her face stoic, as they approach the house stealthily. She stops just short of the door, signaling Bo to remain silent.
**SAGE**
(whispers)
"Stay close and be ready. This is going to get ugly fast."
INT. JACOB'S HOME - KITCHEN - SAME TIME
Jacob notices the sound too, his eyes shifting toward the window.
**JACOB**
(grins)
"Guess your little party's about to get crashed."
Caroline glances at the window but stays focused.
**CAROLINE**
"Then I guess we'll make this quick."
She grabs a knife from the kitchen counter and walks over to Jacob, raising it slowly toward him.
Before she can act, the door bursts open, and Sage rushes in with her gun drawn. Bo follows closely behind, scanning the room.
**SAGE**
"Drop the knife, Caroline!"
Caroline freezes for a moment, eyeing Sage with a mixture of surprise and anger. She tightens her grip on the knife.
**CAROLINE**
"You've got no idea what's going on here."
**SAGE**
"No, I know exactly what's going on. And we're ending this now."
Sage steps forward, her aim steady, while Bo moves to Jacob, beginning to untie his hands.
Jacob, now free, rubs his wrists and stands slowly, looking between Sage and Caroline.
**JACOB**
(smiling)
"Looks like the cavalry's here."
Caroline's eyes dart between them, her mind racing. She slowly lowers the knife, but her expression stays hard, cold.
**CAROLINE**
"You're all making a mistake. You're protecting the wrong man."
Bo, now fully untying Jacob, glances up at Sage for guidance.
**BO**
"Is she telling the truth?"
Sage keeps her gun trained on Caroline but doesn't respond immediately.
**SAGE**
"It doesn't matter. We're not here to pick sides. We're here to finish this."
Suddenly, the ground trembles again, this time more violently. The sound of approaching vehicles rumbles from the distance. Everyone pauses, staring at each other.
**CAROLINE**
(smirking)
"You didn't think I came alone, did you?"
Jacob's face falls, realizing what's about to happen.
**JACOB**
"She called them. We've got to go. Now."
Sage curses under her breath and lowers her gun, signaling for everyone to move.
**SAGE**
"Bo, get him out of here. I'll deal with her."
**CAROLINE**
(smiling)
"Deal with me? You should know by now, Sage—you can't win."
Sage grabs Caroline's arm, forcefully disarming her.
**SAGE**
"We'll see about that."
Bo and Jacob rush out of the house, while Sage holds Caroline against the wall, the tension thick between them.
**SAGE**
"We're not finished, Caroline. But right now, I need you alive."
Caroline glares at Sage but says nothing, her breathing heavy with rage.
EXT. JACOB'S HOUSE - DAY
Jacob and Bo run toward the snow truck just as more jet skis and vehicles appear over the horizon, rapidly closing the distance.
**JACOB**
(panicking)
"We're not gonna make it!"
Bo jumps into the driver's seat.
**BO**
"We will if you stop talking and get in!"
Jacob scrambles into the truck as Bo starts the engine, roaring to life just in time. They peel out, the incoming vehicles in pursuit.
INT. SNOW TRUCK - MOVING
Jacob glances over his shoulder at the approaching convoy, sweat dripping down his brow.
**JACOB**
"You know this isn't gonna end well, right?"
Bo smirks, keeping his eyes on the icy road ahead.
**BO**
"Only if you keep doubting me."
EXT. JACOB'S HOUSE - DAY
Sage shoves Caroline into the snow, securing her with a pair of handcuffs.
**SAGE**
"You're coming with us."
Before Caroline can protest, they're interrupted by the sound of a helicopter overhead. Sage looks up, her face hardening as the situation escalates.
**CAROLINE**
(taunting)
"Told you. You should've run when you had the chance."
Sage pulls Caroline to her feet, determined.
**SAGE**
"I don't run. I finish what I start."
The two women exchange a final glare as the helicopter descends.
FADE OUT.
