EPISODE 6 – "The Shadows We Keep"
INT. BRIEFING ROOM – DAY
Taeyong drops four envelopes on the table. The squad surrounds him.
TAEYONG
Four micro-missions. All strategic misdirections. Small units. Fast, precise.
He looks at Lisa.
TAEYONG (CONT'D)
You take Somi and Rosé. Target South Ridge relay.
Lisa nods.
TAEYONG (to Jennie)
You and Jisoo — infiltrate the Daejun comms node. Quiet. No blood unless necessary.
Jennie already has the file half-scanned.
JENNIE
Necessary's subjective.
She closes the folder with a snap.

INT. ABANDONED SUPPLY ROUTE – NIGHT – JENNIE & JISOO
They move fast, close, silent through the shadows. Jennie's movements are precise... until she freezes. Jisoo nearly bumps into her.
JISOO
What—
Jennie's eyes scan the dark, senses flaring. A flicker — not danger. Familiar.
JENNIE (under her breath)
No insignia... Seoul shoes. Standard military-issue.
She grabs Jisoo, pulls them behind a steel crate just before the faint shimmer of shadow crosses their path. Silent. Elite.
JISOO
Who the hell was that?
JENNIE (quietly)
Specters. My father's agents.
JISOO
You gonna tell Lisa?
A long pause. Jennie's face unreadable.
JENNIE
Not yet.
⸻
INT. SOUTH RIDGE – LISA, SOMI & ROSÉ
Lisa moves like she's already inside Rin's mind. They reach the target too easily — too quiet. She crouches, surveying the relay, then glances at Rosé.
LISA
She wants us here.
SOMI
Then what's the play?
Lisa doesn't answer yet. She scans the terrain again. Her thoughts are elsewhere. Jennie's tone. Her stillness. Her—
ROSÉ (interrupting)
Hey. You okay?
Lisa straightens, back into ruthless mode.
LISA
Just thinking.
SOMI (smirking)
That's new.
LISA
Shut up and get in position.
But as she moves forward, something in her eyes lingers. She can't stop thinking:
What is Jennie not telling me?
⸻
INT. JENNIE'S MISSION SITE – ABANDONED NODE – LATER
Jisoo sets charges, but Jennie moves through the remnants of a data core. Not for destruction — for access. Her fingers move fast. She bypasses firewall after firewall until—
A FILE. CODE NAME: NIGHTSHADE.
Jennie stares. Her breath catches. The encryption... is her own.
JISOO (offscreen)
What is that?
JENNIE (flat)
Something that wasn't supposed to exist anymore.
Suddenly, Jennie yanks the drive, throws a flash-scrambler grenade, and grabs Jisoo.
