"No! No! No!" A woman sobs on the floor hogtied.

"Please! Please, don't kill us." The also hogtied man begs.

An older looking Liana and Five stand over them.

"No! Please, no. Please! Don't! Don't kill us! No! No!" The women continues to beg as Five cocks his handgun.

The man begs for his wife's life but Five shoots her dead making her fall limp.

The man breaks free and starts to run out of the room.

Liana turns and shoots him straight in the head.

The handler walks into the room and looks down at their bodies.

"Shame."

"You want me to protect Number Five & Six?" Lila asks as her mother eats pancakes.

"It's not that complicated, honey." The handler replies.

"If anyone deserves to die, it's them." Lila shakes her head.

"That's true, but-"

"You said they were the most wanted man and woman in the Commission." Lila cuts her off.

"And now you want me to protect them?"

"That's correct." The handler nods.

"And after everything they've done to you? They're the reason you got demoted." Lila responds still thinking that they should die.

"Be that as it may... They're worth more to me alive." The handler explains why she wants them alive.

"If you want to kill somebody, why don't you kill Diego?"

"No." Lila cuts into her pancakes.

"You sure, darling? I think it'll make you feel better?" The handler insists.

"Nah." Lila declines the offer.

"Suit yourself." The handler replies.

Luther punches a hole through the brick wall of his room.

Five looks up at him and chuckles, and Liana just sighs and looks away.

Vanya nods and leaves.

"Well, that clearly went well." Liana remarks as she walks down the sidewalk.

"You ready to go?"

"I'm going back to the farm." Vanya walks past him and to the car.

"Hey. Unacceptable, Vanya." Five runs to catch up with her.
