COLD OPEN – THEY REMEMBER HER
Black screen.
Voices overlap — angry, broken, distorted.
VOICE 1 (V.O.)
“She erased my family.”
VOICE 2 (V.O.)
“I saved a city… and she reset it.”
VOICE 3 (V.O.)
“We died so her timeline could live.”

CUT TO:
A dark room. Steel chairs. Flickering lights.
Six figures stand in silhouette.
Some wear advanced combat gear — human, tactical, efficient.
Others wear patched armor from erased timelines — damaged, personal, emotional.
At the front: The Curator.
THE CURATOR
“She is no longer human.
She is a paradox.”
A screen lights up — Antoinette’s face.
THE CURATOR (cold)
“Bring her to me… or end her.”

SCENE 1 – TWO TYPES OF HUNTERS
THE ENHANCED (Humans)
– Military trained
– Neural implants
– No emotion, no hesitation
THE ERASED (Former Heroes)
– Remember timelines that no longer exist
– Loved people who never existed
– Blame Antoinette personally
One of the erased heroes steps forward — scarred, furious.
ERASED HUNTER
“She chose her world over ours.”
A human-enhanced hunter replies flatly:
ENHANCED HUNTER
“She’s a target. Not a god.”
The Curator smiles slightly.

SCENE 2 – ANTOINETTE FEELS IT
Night.
Antoinette walks through a quiet residential block.
No drones. No sirens.
Too quiet.
She stops.
Her wrist device shuts off completely.
Antoinette
“…That’s not good.”
Dark Antoinette (inside, tense)
“They’re not machines.”
Antoinette turns slowly.
From the shadows — people step out.
Not drones.
Not soldiers.
Humans.
One woman removes her hood — eyes filled with grief.
ERASED WOMAN
“My son existed for eight years.
Then you pressed reset.”
Antoinette’s breath catches.
Antoinette
“I didn’t—”
A punch hits her jaw.
Hard.
She stumbles back.
This fight is different — no warnings, no tech advantage.

SCENE 3 – THE AMBUSH
The enhanced hunters attack next.
Precision. Coordination. Silence.
Antoinette is overwhelmed — taser rounds, sonic weapons, gravity traps.
She hits the ground.
Blood on concrete.
For the first time — she looks scared.
Antoinette (breathing hard)
“I didn’t erase you to hurt anyone.”
The erased man steps forward, rage shaking his voice.
ERASED MAN
“You erased us so YOU could live.”
They rush her together.
Dark Antoinette (urgent)
“If you don’t fight back… we die.”
Antoinette hesitates.
Then—
She stands.
Eyes steady.
Antoinette
“Then I fight for all of us.”

SCENE 4 – SURVIVAL MODE
This is not flashy.
This is raw survival.
She uses the environment — walls, cars, shadows.
Disarms one hunter. Knocks another unconscious.
But she refuses to kill.
That hesitation costs her.
An erased hero pins her down.
Knife raised.
ERASED HERO (breaking)
“You don’t deserve to exist.”
Antoinette looks him dead in the eyes.
Antoinette (quiet, real)
“Neither did I… until time chose me.”
She flips him, sends out a controlled pulse —
knocking everyone back without killing them.
Silence.
Sirens in the distance.
She runs.

SCENE 5 – THE COUNCIL ESCALATES
The Curator watches footage of the failed capture.
THE CURATOR
“She won’t kill them.”
A subordinate nods.
SUBORDINATE
“That’s her weakness.”
The Curator’s eyes darken.
THE CURATOR
“No.
That’s why she’s dangerous.”
A new order appears on screen:
PARADOX HUNTERS – FREE WILL REMOVED
NEXT ENGAGEMENT: TOTAL ELIMINATION

FINAL SCENE – ANTOINETTE ACCEPTS THE WAR
Antoinette stands on a rooftop at dawn.
Bruised. Exhausted. Still standing.
Her reflection appears beside her — not hostile, not kind.
Balanced.
Dark Antoinette
“They’ll never stop.”
Antoinette nods.
Antoinette
“Then I stop hiding.”
Her wrist device reboots on its own.
RESET CODE: STRATEGIC MODE UNLOCKED
She looks out over the city.
Antoinette (V.O.)
“They made me a paradox.
Now they’ll learn what that means.”
She steps forward — ready.
FADE OUT.
