杰瑞发布于2022-10-26

世界存亡危在旦夕,“信条”一词是唯一的线索与武器。主人公穿梭于全球各地,开展特工活动,力求揭示“信条”之谜,并完成一项超越了真实时间的神秘任务。这项任务并非时间之旅,而是【时空逆转】。

PROTAGONIST:
NEIL:
Inversion. But not objects or people. The world around us.
KAT:
I don’t understand.
NEIL:
As they invert the entropy of more and more objects... Neil holds his hands, fingers spread, pointing at each other – NEIL (CONT'D) The two directions of time are becoming more intertwined... He slowly brings his fingers together, into the ‘Tenet’ gesture – NEIL (CONT'D) But because the environment’s entropy flows in our direction... He pushes one hand back with the other – NEIL (CONT'D) ...we dominate. They’re always swimming upstream. It’s what saved your life – the inverted explosion was pushing against the environment.
PROTAGONIST:
Pissing in the wind.
NEIL:
But the algorithm can change the direction of that wind. It can invert the entropy of the world.
KAT:
And if that happens?
NEIL:
Oh, end of play.
PROTAGONIST:
‘End of play’? Can you be a little more precise?
NEIL:
Our present wiped out, our past obliterated. Everyone and everything who ever lived destroyed instantly. Precise enough?
KAT:
Including my son.
Neil nods, gravely. Kat winces, clearly in pain.
NEIL:
Let me sedate you – the more you sleep the faster you’ll heal.
Neil injects Kat in the arm. Her eyes close.
EXT. CARGO SHIP – LATER Close on the hull, we see the water UNSPLASHING at the bow and SUCKING UNDERNEATH the stern as the ship steams majestically backwards through the cold North Sea... INT. SHIPPING CONTAINER – LATER BANGING wakes the Protagonist – Neil is at a peephole.
NEIL:
We’re on a truck. Shouldn’t be too long now.
INT. SHIPPING CONTAINER – LATER Neil is awake. He looks over at the Protagonist, who is examining a LESION on his right arm...
NEIL:
You in pain?
PROTAGONIST:
Must’ve got nicked in Tallinn.
(rolls down sleeve) I’ve been thinking... we’re their ancestors. If they destroy us, won’t that destroy them?
NEIL:
Bringing us to the grandfather paradox.
The what?
PROTAGONIST:
NEIL:
The classic thought experiment – if you went back in time and killed your own grandfather, how could you have been born to commit the act?
PROTAGONIST:
What’s the answer?
