ROOKIE - ANIMATED PILOT
Tigh Regan for Professor Theodore Galen
In the series, Rookie and Senior both encounter the same person during their separate lives outside of the house, that being Rookie’s new professor in College- Professor Galen. Initially seeming to not like Rookie in his class for unknown reasons, the two quickly seem to bond as Prof. Galen starts to steadily adopt a fatherly role for Rookie when Senior is preoccupied with his work. As Rookie is personally mentored by the professor, it is quickly turned sinister when it's revealed that he knows what Rookie and Senior are, and intends to play the long game to learn Rookie’s weaknesses and use them against both of them.
Senior suspects Professor Galen is a threat, and may be an intellectual opponent he will need to beat through silent war and subtleties, so neither will show they suspect one another until action is needed.
Once he gets a second job at Seniors work, things only get more interesting from there, as both clearly see the other as their objective and intended target to destroy, no matter who must be used in the process to achieve that.

Lilu- where is your end of semester report? I gave you 3 extensions and still you have yet to produce me a- (Lilu hands over his report) ...Ah. Now thats much better. (Reads it over) ... wait a minute. Give me a second. (goes over to his desk) Hmm. Lilu, why does your report look exactly like Lucas Wrights report from 5 years ago? (Lilu asks why he has records from that far back-) Lilu, this is why. (sighs) Lilu, you and Lesya are so much smarter than this... I can't keep excusing this behaviour. Take this report back and re-do it. I expect both of you in my lecture hall in an hour with pens and paper. I think its time you finally put your heads down... (Lilu relents) Good. Now go, I have to shred this before the dean finds out you plagiarized.
Rookie? ... are you certain thats your name? it just seems a bit of an... odd choice to call your child, don't you think? (Rookie stammers an excuse) ...hm. I can't say your father seems to be the responsible type. (sarcastic chuckle) If I didn't know any better, I'd say he was a bit hostile last time we spoke at the college entrance. (Rookie explains how nice Senior is) (chuckles) Yes, yes... I suppose he's quite charming. ... but lets redirect the focus back to you Adri- (cough) Rookie. ... I think I'll reconsider my initial decline to tutor you. (Rookie asking why the change of mind) (hums in thought) Nothing too dramatic. ... I suppose I'm just curious to learn more about you and your father. Thats all.
Adlib!
