Scene 1: A Meeting in Secret
The episode begins with Arvin standing in a dimly lit alleyway, waiting. Marcus approaches, holding a USB drive in his hand.
Marcus:
“This wasn’t easy to get. Caleb’s connections run deep. But I found something... disturbing.”
He hands the USB to Arvin, who plugs it into his laptop. The screen lights up with surveillance footage from a private warehouse. In the video, Caleb is seen meeting with James Moreau and exchanging large briefcases.
Marcus:
“They’re laundering money through fake businesses. But that’s not all. Look at this.”
Marcus points to the screen. In another part of the footage, Lila appears, her face tense as she hands over a document to Caleb. Arvin’s heart sinks as he recognizes her.
Arvin (whispering):
“She’s working with them?”
Marcus:
“Looks like it. But I can’t figure out why. It doesn’t add up.”

Scene 2: Confronting the Past
Later that night, Arvin sits alone in his apartment, replaying the footage. His mind races as he remembers the good times with Lila—the laughter, the shared dreams. Everything feels like a lie now.
Arvin (Voiceover):
"She wasn’t just my girlfriend. She was my partner, my anchor. And now? Now she’s part of the storm that’s tearing me apart."
Unable to sit still, Arvin picks up his phone and dials Lila’s number. It rings several times before she answers.
Lila (hesitant):
“Arvin?”
Arvin (coldly):
“We need to talk. Now.”

Scene 3: The Unspoken Truth
Arvin meets Lila in a park under the cover of darkness. She looks nervous, avoiding his gaze.
Arvin:
“How long have you been working with Caleb?”
Lila’s eyes widen, and she takes a step back.
Lila:
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Arvin steps closer, his voice sharp.
Arvin:
“Don’t lie to me, Lila. I’ve seen the footage. You were at the warehouse, handing him documents. What are you hiding?”
Lila hesitates before finally speaking, her voice trembling.
Lila:
“It’s not what you think. Caleb… he’s dangerous. He forced me into this.”
Arvin:
“Why didn’t you tell me? I could’ve helped you!”
Lila (tears in her eyes):
“Because I was scared, Arvin. He has leverage over me, over my family. I didn’t have a choice.”
Arvin stares at her, torn between anger and concern.
Arvin:
“So you betrayed me instead? You let me think I was nothing to you.”
Lila:
“I didn’t mean to hurt you. I thought I could protect you by keeping you out of it.”
The tension between them hangs heavy as Arvin struggles to process her words.

Scene 4: A Temporary Alliance
Despite his anger, Arvin realizes he needs more information if he’s going to take Caleb down. He looks at Lila, his voice firm.
Arvin:
“If you want to make this right, you’re going to help me. Tell me everything you know about Caleb’s operation.”
Lila hesitates but nods.
Lila:
“Alright. But you have to promise me one thing.”
Arvin:
“What?”
Lila:
“Don’t let him hurt my family.”
Arvin’s expression softens slightly as he nods.
Arvin:
“I promise.”

Scene 5: A Plan in Motion
The episode ends with Arvin and Lila sitting in his apartment, surrounded by documents and notes. Marcus joins them, adding to the growing plan. The three of them form an unlikely team, united by a common enemy.
Arvin (Voiceover):
"The lines between love and betrayal are blurred, but one thing is clear—Caleb’s reign ends here. And this time, I’m not fighting alone."
The camera pans out as they work late into the night, the tension palpable as they prepare for what’s to come.
