Scene 15 of 275 · ≈ 1 min on screen · Act one
An unnamed intelligence operative, recruited into a shadow war fought through time-inverted weapons and objects, teams with an enigmatic ally to stop a dying Russian oligarch from using technology gifted by a dying future to erase the present.
A staged terrorist siege at the Kiev opera — chaos, disguise, and a world where nothing is what it appears to be.
He swaps the Well-Dressed Man's clothes with a fake SWAT, hands off the object, and resolves to disarm every bomb in the theatre himself.
Racing to clear bombs, the Protagonist is ambushed by a real SWAT and saved by a masked ally wearing a coin talisman, who vanishes as mysteriously as he appeared.
The Protagonist and the 'Target' emerge as a bomb detonates in the boxes above.
