Bernard’s Basement Torture Room

Eight years following the fall of Citadel, we catch up with Bernard Orlick in present-day Chicago. He’s in a dark, dingy basement with three Manticore operatives who are bound to chairs and gagged. He tortures them through a Guess Who-style game. When one operative gets the answer wrong, Orlick is quick to execute him with a bullet through his head. After killing another of the operatives, Orlick interrogates the third about why Dahlia met with US Secretary of Defense McCullough at her home. The operative divulges that Dahlia wanted the location of the Citadel X Case so she can retrieve the nuclear codes stored inside of it. Right after that reveal, Orlick gets a notification on his phone that Mason Kane has been found through the DNA database.
