(voiceover)

We’re the people saving the world from what might’ve been. World would never know what could happen. Even if they did, they wouldn’t care.
[Kat walks along the pavement on her way to Max’s school, and notices an ominous black car facing her.] Because no one cares about the bomb that didn’t go off. Only the one that did.

[In the car, a man is holding a pistol. Priya sits on the passenger’s seat beside him]

Do it before the boy comes out-

[The man turns suddenly as if he noticed something before being shot. Priya gasps and turns the back mirror only to find The Protagonist sitting behind her.]

That’s your idea of mercy? You gave me your word.

And I told you then, what it would be worth. Here. Today. How did you know?

Kat
[The Protagonist takes out a phone and plays a voice message.] (voiceover)

Cannon Place, 3 o’clock. Probably nothing, I’m-

Posterity.

Kat
[Outside on the pavement, Kat is holding the phone The Protagonist gave her earlier.] [to the phone]

Cannon Place, 3 o’clock. Probably nothing, I’m ...

[Cut to inside the car]

I told you you’d have to start looking differently at the world.

I, have to tie up the loose ends.

That was never your job.

Then whose was it?

Mine. I realized I wasn’t working for you, we’ve both been working for me. I’m the Protagonist.

[shocked]

Then you’d better tie up those loose ends.

[Priya turns the back window away, and The Protagonist shoots her.]

Mission accomplished. [looks at Kat, who is now turning off her phone]

(voiceover)

It’s the bomb that didn’t go off. The danger no one knew was real.

[The Protagonist looks as Kat waits for Max.] (voiceover)

That’s the bomb with the real power to change the world.
[Kat walks away with Max, who holds her hand.]
