EPISODE 15:
"REPERCUSSION"
FADE IN
RECAP
COLD OPEN
INT. WAR ROOM
BENJAMIN looks out from the WINDOW of the SYSTEM'S BUILDING, watching as SMOKE ranges from different spots throughout the world as UNrest and Anarchy still rages.
LINTON, DAVIEL, TERESA and a few other unnamed DEMONS and ANGELS sit at a large conference table, BENJAMIN the only one standing as they await for him to speak.
BENJAMIN
We are faced with an uncertain time. With an unprecedented hardship laying before us. The CODEX is still active, the longer it remains on, the longer it will take to get the SYSTEM back in control. For now, I have assembled this group to be the focal and stabilizing unit that is in control of the FRINGE. But we have opposition...the MISFITS are holding fast to their control of most of the systems, but we have the TRIO slowly siphoning away at that control, but until then, they have majority control of the FRINGE. We need to get CROWLEY to deactivate the CODEX, however, his request for immunity presents...complications. For now we have him detained...
INT. HOLDING CELL
CROWLEY sits in the cell, PSIONIC WALLS trapping him inside the space as he sits with a scowl on his face, his eyes staring forward as ANGELIC GUARDS stand two to each side of the FOUR sided CELL.
BENJAMIN
(O.S.)
I'm not going to lie, the situation is dire. Panic is still widespread, and the laws that were keeping the most sinister of fiends at bay...are now no longer there to be enforced, at least in our control. RECLAIMER units are out in force, doing what they can. But even then it may not be enough.
INT. WAR ROOM
BENJAMIN turns to the group as he comes over and takes his seat.
BENJAMIN
The FRINGE is chaos. The Repercussions of the SYSTEM being gone will be felt. Time is against us, the longer this goes on, the more stronger the MISFITS hold over the FRINGE grows. We cannot allow that.
LINTON
And what do you suggest we do about that?
BENJAMIN
We shut the CODEX down...and we get rid of the MISFITS...

INT. THE HANGOUT
CHARLES sits in the CHAIR in front of the CONTROL PANEL, CHARLES pressing a button as the 3D HOLOGRAPHIC SCREEN surrounds him, CHARLES looking through the DATA and PICTURES as he moves some out of the way and swipes the screens over and then together, bringing up a MAP as AUSTIN and NIKKI arrive from the ELEVATOR, the TWO coming over not saying anything as CHARLES looks exhausted.
AUSTIN
Still looking...?
CHARLES
Reports of MISFIT activity are everywhere. We've run into them too many times for us to not have any goddamn clue where their base of operations are.
NIKKI
Boss...You need to take a break.
CHARLES
I don't know if you've been seeing the same thing I have out there, NIKKI, but we don't have time to be taking a break.
NIKKI
Perhaps not. But burning yourself out like this isn't going to help us.
CHARLES shakes his head and swipes the SCREEN away, CHARLES spinning to face them as he looks annoyed.
CHARLES
What is going on?
AUSTIN
COLBY has a few jobs for us, they need all hands on deck.
CHARLES
You two are suspended.
