OPENING SCENE – PAST – HARLEM, 10 YEARS AGO – NIGHT

A hot summer night. Music blasting from project windows. Dice games on the block. Young Antoinette steps out the bodega in bamboo earrings, denim dress, and Air Max 95s. She’s got the glow even back then.

LYRICAL VIPER (V.O.):
“She had the type of energy that made the whole block hush when she walked by… and I was the only one dumb enough to flirt back.”

From across the street, a young, shirtless Viper is freestyling in a cipher. Chain swinging, sweat glistening, crowd hyped. He locks eyes with her mid-bar:

VIPER (rapping):
“She the storm, I’m the flood / she the rose, I’m the mud / if she blink, I go to war / for that Queen, spill blood.”

CROWD: “OHHHHHHH!”

Antoinette smirks. Drops her Arizona tea and walks away like he didn’t just light the block on fire.

FLASH TO – PRESENT – BROOKLYN – NIGHT

Antoinette and Viper sit rooftop overlooking the city. She’s in silk. He’s rolling up, looking at her like she’s still the spark from ten summers ago.

VIPER:
“You always had the upper hand. Even back then, I knew one day you’d be running sh*t.”

ANTOINETTE:
“And you? You were trouble. But you were always my kind of trouble.”

They toast glasses. Her burner phone buzzes. Cody’s name flashes.

VIPER:
“Still trying you?”

ANTOINETTE:
“Yep. He thinks I don’t know he and Huwart been meeting with fake tech investors trying to flip my coin and sell off my IP.”

VIPER (chuckles dark):
“Fools. We should feed ‘em to themselves.”

ANTOINETTE:
“Oh baby… I already am.”

SCENE – PRIVATE STUDIO – NIGHT

Antoinette and Viper are in a high-rise studio setting up a decoy drop. She’s on laptop. He’s watching surveillance.

VIPER:
“Let me guess—after this trap, we ghost?”

ANTOINETTE:
“No. After this… we go global.”

She pulls out the RC COIN master key. He kisses her hand like royalty.

VIPER:
“Let’s give ‘em a finale they’ll never forget.”

ENDING MONTAGE – MUSIC SWELLS (Dramatic Afro-trap beat)

Cody opens an email: “Congratulations, you’ve been hacked.” His laptop explodes in static.

Huwart arrives at an abandoned warehouse expecting a deal—SWAT shows up.

Meanwhile, Antoinette and Viper board a jet labeled “RLC GLOBAL INITIATIVE”.

ANTOINETTE (V.O.):
“They played checkers. We coded the damn game.”
