The Protagonist Hey you never did tell me who recruited you, Neil.

Neil Haven't you guessed by now? You did! Only not when you thought. You have a future in the past. Years ago for me, years from now for you.

The Protagonist You've known me for years?

Neil For me, I think this is the end of a beautiful friendship.

The Protagonist But for me it's just the beginning.

Neil We get up to some stuff. You gonna love it. You'll see. This whole operation is a temporal pincer.

Michael Crosby Look, no offense, but in this world, where someone is claiming to be a billionaire, Brooks Brothers won't cut it.

The Protagonist I'm assuming I'm on a budget.

Michael Crosby Save the world, then we'll balance the books. Can I recommend a tailor?

The Protagonist I'll manage. You British don't have a monopoly on snobbery, you know.

Michael Crosby Well, not a monopoly. More of a controlling interest.

Fay All I have for you is a gesture

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

The Protagonist Neil, wait.

Neil We just saved the world, can't leave anything to chance.

The Protagonist But can we change things if we do it differently?

Neil What's happened, happened. Which is an expression of faith in the mechanics of the world. It's not an excuse to do nothing.

The Protagonist Fate?

The Protagonist We live in a twilight world...

Well-Dressed Man ...

The Protagonist [cocks and point gun] We live in a twilight world...

Well-Dressed Man ...and there are no friends at dusk.

The Protagonist You've been made. This siege is a blind for them to vanish you.

Fay That test you passed? Not everybody does.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

The Protagonist I've been thinking, we're their ancestors. If they destroy us, won't that destroy them?

Neil That'd bring us to the grandfather paradox.

The Protagonist The what?

Neil You went back in time, and killed your own grandfather. How could you've been born to commit the act?

The Protagonist What's the answer?

Neil There's no answer. It's a paradox.

🧡

Neil Vodka tonic, and a Diet Coke. What? You never drink on the job.

The Protagonist This reversing the flow of time, doesn't us being here now, mean it never happened?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

The Protagonist What's happened, happened. I get it now. But it's harder to take things on trust from people speaking half-truths.

Neil That's not fair.

The Protagonist You were a part of this before we met. Were you working for Priya?

Neil No.

The Protagonist Who recruited you, Neil?

Neil Can't possibly do you any good to know that right now. When this is over, we're still standing, and you still care, then you can hear my life story, okay?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

The Protagonist You really going back in?

Neil I'm the only one who can got that door open in time, right, Ives?

Ives I don't know any locksmiths as good as you.

Neil See? It's me in there again. Weaving another past in the fabric of this mission.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Ives They're running a temporal pincer movement.

The Protagonist A what?

Ives Pincer movement. But not in space, in time. Half his team moves forward through the event. He monitors them and then attacks at the end moving backwards. Knowing everything.

🧡

🥺

🤔

🥱

The Protagonist You knew it was me coming out of that vault, why didn't you say?

Neil It's a lot of explaining when someone who's about to put a bullet into their own brain.

The Protagonist But afterwards?

Neil Thing's the same. I knew you'd be okay. What's happened, happened. If I told you and you acted differently, who knows? Policy is to suppress.

The Protagonist Whose policy?

Neil Ours, my friend. We're the people saving the world from what might have been.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Barbara You're not shooting the bullet. You're catching it.

The Protagonist Whoa.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

The Protagonist This reversing the flow of time... doesn't us being here now, mean it never happened? Could we stop them?

Neil Optimistically, I'd say that's right.

The Protagonist Pessimistically?

Neil In a parallel worlds theory, we can't know the relationship between consciousness and multiple realities. Does your head hurt yet ? Try to get some sleep.

Fay We all like to believe we'd run into the burning building, but until we feel that heat, we can never know.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

The Protagonist There's a cold war.

Neil Nuclear?

The Protagonist Temporal.

Neil Time travel?

The Protagonist No. Technology that can invert an object's entropy.

Neil You mean reverse chronology, like Feynman and Wheeler's notion that a positron is an electron moving backwards in time.

The Protagonist Sure, that's exactly what I meant.

Neil I have a master's in physics.

The Protagonist Well, try and keep up.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Priya You have to start looking at the world in a new way.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Wheeler When you exit the airlock, take a moment to orient yourself. Things will feel strange. When you run, the wind will be at your back. You encounter fire, ice will form on your clothes as transferred heat is reversed. Gravity would feel normal but you're reversed from the world around you. You may experience distortions in your vision and hearing, this is normal.

The Protagonist Can I drive a car?

Wheeler I can't vouch for the handling. Friction and wind resistance are reversed. You are inverted, the world is not.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Neil But in the future, those in power clearly believe you can kick grandpa downstairs, gouge his eyes out, slit his throat, without consequence.

The Protagonist Could they be right?

Neil Doesn't matter, they believe it. That's why they're willing to destroy us.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

The Protagonist [cocks gun] I'm not the man they send in to negotiate, or the man they send to make deals. But I am the man people talk to.

🧡

🥱

Neil It seems you need an introduction to a prominent Mumbai local on short notice. I'm Neil.

The Protagonist I need an audience with Sanjay Singh.

Neil That's not possible.

The Protagonist Ten minutes, tops.

Neil Time isn't the problem. Getting out alive is the problem.

🧡

👏

🥱

Neil Documents are vulnerable to...

Klaus To fire? Absolutely!

Neil No, I was going to say water damage from the sprinkler systems.

Klaus We don't use sprinklers. The facility is flooded with halide gas, displacing all the air within seconds.

Neil Can you show me?

Klaus If I did, we'd suffocate.

Neil What about the staff?

Klaus Halide only fills the vaults. They just have to get into either corridor, and there is a ten-second warning.

Neil At least you give them ten seconds.

Klaus Well, Sir, our clients use us because we have no priorities above their property.

Neil Blimey!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

The Protagonist To do what I do, I need some idea of the threat we face.

Barbara As I understand it, we're trying to prevent World War III.

The Protagonist I'm not seeing Armageddon here. Nuclear holocaust?

Barbara No. Something worse.

🧡

🥱

Ives This is a proofing window. When you approach the turnstile, you don't see yourself in the proofing window, do not enter the machine.

The Protagonist Why not?

Ives You don't see self reverse exit the machine then you ain't getting out.

The Protagonist Is that gonna work?

Ives Yeah. See for yourself.

Kat [to Sator] Look in my eyes. Which do you see? Despair or anger? I'm not the woman who could find love for you even though you scarred her on the inside. I'm the vengeful bitch you scarred on the outside.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Neil All doors are fireproof. Hydraulic closers, simple key and electronic triggers. Surprisingly easy once they've been locked down.

The Protagonist Why a lockdown?

Neil Power switches to fail safe securing the outdoors, indoors revert to factory settings. Then pickable locks, it's a child's play really.

The Protagonist Child's play? They're inside airport security, they have to worry about climate control not armed raid.

Neil So how do we get enough fire power through the perimeter to trigger the lockdown procedure. That wall of Freeport.

The Protagonist You've got something?

Neil You're not gonna like it.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

The Protagonist I'll set you up as a go-between. But remember, to you, it's all about the plutonium. Or when we're done, they'll kill you.

Neil Won't you have to do that anyway?

The Protagonist I rather be my decision.

Neil So do I. I think.

🧡

Fay There's a cold war. Cold as ice. To even know its true nature is to lose.

Priya Sator's lifelong mission, financed and guided by the future, has been to find and reassemble the algorithm.

🥱

Andrei Sator You're not going to kill me.

Kat I already tried.

Andrei Sator You pushed me off a boat. You are not going to shoot me in cold blood.

Kat My blood's not cold, Andrei.

Andrei Sator No. But you're not angry enough. Because anger scars over into despair. I look in your eyes... I see despair.

[Sator grabs the gun and kicks/punches Kat to the ground]

Andrei Sator Vengeful bitch! Living off me! Thinking that you're better! Enough!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Priya There's a rally point offshore at Trondheim get yourselves up there. Ives has a team ready to invert.

The Protagonist You have a turnstile the exact technology we're trying to supress?

Priya Fighting fire with fire is a treacherous business. But there are some people in the future who want to continue the algorithm's journey into the past. You see Tenet wasn't founded in the past, it will be founded in the future.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Priya [repeated later by Protagonist] Ignorance is our ammunition.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Andrei Sator It wasn't a mistake. I made the bargain I could. What was yours? You fight for a cause you barely understand with people you trust so little you've told them nothing. When I die the world dies with me and your knowledge dies with you. Buried in the tomb like an anonymous Egyptian builder sealed in a pyramid to keep his secret. Your faith is blind, you're a fanatic.

The Protagonist We're so fanatical for trying to destroy the world?

Andrei Sator We're not I'm creating a new one. Somewhere, sometime, a man in a crystalline tower throws a switch and Armageddon is both triggered and avoided. Now time itself switches direction.

Andrei Sator The same sunshine we've basked in will warm the faces of our descendants generations to come.

The Protagonist How could they wanna kill us?

Andrei Sator Because their oceans rose and their rivers ran dry.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

The Protagonist [Calmly, as three of Sator's henchmen prepare to beat him up in the restaurant kitchen] I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago.

🧡

The Protagonist His ignorance is our only protection.

🧡

👏

🥱

Andrei Sator [to Kat] Look at me! And understand, you don't negotiate with a tiger. You admire a tiger until he turns on you and you feel its true fucking nature!

🧡

Michael Crosby Look no offence, but in this world where someone is claiming to a billionaire Brooks Brothers won't cut it.

Michael Crosby Well not a monopoly, more of a controlling interest.

🧡

🥱

The Protagonist He can communicate with the future?

Priya We all do, don't we? Emails, credit cards, texts. Anything that goes into the record speaks directly to the future.

🧡

🥱

Andrei Sator There's a walled garden up the road. We're going to take you there cut your throat not across in the middle like a hole. Then we take your balls and we stuff them in the cut to block the windpipe.

The Protagonist Complex.

Andrei Sator It's very gratifying to watch a man you don't like try to pull his own balls out of his throat before he chokes.

The Protagonist Is this how you treat all your guests?

Andrei Sator We're finished.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Neil Everyone and everything that has ever lived... destroyed. Instantly. Precise enough?

Kat Including my son?
