COLD OPEN – TWO REFLECTIONS

The camera pans across a dark mirror chamber— walls of polished black glass, glowing with shifting code.
Antoinette stands face to face with her twin, the other her — calm, confident, eyes cold as mercury.

Dark Antoinette
“You call it saving humanity… but what if you were never supposed to?”

Antoinette (steady)
“I was chosen.”

Dark Antoinette (smirks)
“No. You were programmed.”

Suddenly, the mirror explodes outward — shards freeze midair.
Antoinette dives as everything suspends in slow motion — a glitch in time.

SCENE 1 – THE CODE BREAKS

Alarms blare. The Time Council’s central tower is under lockdown.
Antoinette hacks through a wall console, sweat dripping, muttering codes under her breath.

Antoinette
“Come on, come on… open, damn it.”

The panel flashes ACCESS DENIED – SUBJECT REPLICATION DETECTED.

She looks up to see her twin walking calmly through the flames, holding a pulse rifle identical to hers.

Dark Antoinette
“You wanted truth. Here’s the truth: only one of us is real.”

They aim their weapons simultaneously — two identical frequencies collide in a white-hot wave that bends the walls.

SFX: Earsplitting frequency hum → explosion.

SCENE 2 – THE AFTERMATH

Smoke fills the air.
Antoinette coughs, crawling across the broken floor, half her gauntlet fried.
Her twin’s voice echoes through the smoke.

Dark Antoinette (V.O.)
“They made me from your fear. You can’t destroy what you refuse to face.”

Antoinette grabs a shard of the mirror — sees flashes of her past, her mother, Elara, the portal — all fractured like memory itself.
She grips the shard tighter, blood running down her hand.

Antoinette (to herself)
“Then I’ll face it… and erase you.”

SCENE 3 – CITY ON FIRE

Cut to the Lower City — chaos everywhere.
Drones patrol the skies, soldiers drag civilians into scanners searching for “duplicates.”
Neon rain pours down as Antoinette runs across rooftops, cloak ripped, face smeared with grime.

Her twin appears on the opposite rooftop — they sprint in sync, leaping across shattered bridges and neon signs.
Every move mirrors perfectly — two bodies, one soul.

SFX: Heartbeats + thunder + static distortion.

Mid-air clash — time slows. Antoinette tackles her twin through a holographic billboard, sparks exploding around them.

Dark Antoinette (grinning)
“You can’t win this war — you are the war!”

They crash into a crowded street — terrified civilians scatter as both land, roll, and rise with weapons drawn.
Helicopters hover overhead.

SCENE 4 – THE DATA VAULT

Antoinette breaks into a hidden data vault beneath the city — a circular chamber filled with ancient tech.
A holographic AI appears — The Architect — the one who designed both versions of her.

The Architect
“Two frequencies cannot coexist. One must collapse for time to stabilize.”

Antoinette realizes what it means — either she or her twin must die.

She grips her pulse pistol, eyes wet but determined.

Antoinette
“Then time will tell.”

The twin bursts in — both women circle each other, lights flickering, alarms wailing.
They move in a perfect rhythm — fight choreography that’s human, brutal, desperate.

Punches. Elbows. Sparks. Static tears open reality itself.

At the peak of the fight —
Dark Antoinette grabs her wrist.

Dark Antoinette (snarling)
“You think killing me saves them? It just proves you’re one of us.”

Antoinette closes her eyes, whispers:
“No… it proves I’m free.”

She reverses her frequency, sending a shockwave that absorbs the twin into light.
The chamber explodes.

FINAL SCENE – THE MEMORY GLITCH

Antoinette wakes up in an abandoned subway tunnel.
She looks at her reflection in a puddle — but the reflection smiles back independently.

Her eyes widen.

Reflection (whispering)
“You deleted me from code… but not from consciousness.”

The puddle ripples, turns black.
CUT TO BLACK.
