NORTHERN ARIZONA - MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS - DAWN                                                1 Aerial shot of dense pine forests covering rugged mountains. Morning mist hangs between the peaks as sunlight begins to break through.                                               ARJAY (V.O.)                             Some people think heroes wear capes. Others think they wield swords or carry badges.                             But in today's world, the real battle for justice happens in the shadows of cyberspace. The camera SWOOPS down through the trees to reveal a massive LOG HOME nestled in a clearing, almost invisible from above.                                               ARJAY (V.O.)                             We call ourselves the Robin Hood Virus team. Not just for our talents, but for our moral                             compass-”we steal from corrupt countries, corporations, and black-hat hackers                             and donate most to charity. 2 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER - DAWN                                                2 The Robin Hood Virus Network Operations Center is located beneath ARJAY'S large log home, accessible only through a series of secure checkpoints. This underground facility represents the nerve center of the organization's digital operations. The heart of the NOC is dominated by a massive wall of 20 concave screens arranged in a gentle curve that wraps around the northern end of the room. Each screen is capable of displaying up to 12 separate data feeds simultaneously, creating a potential matrix of 240 distinct information streams. These screens typically display network traffic patterns, threat visualizations, active operations, and real-time financial data. Commanding attention at the center of this digital constellation is a significantly larger screen that spans nearly the entire height of the wall. This primary display often shows the organization's most critical operation in progress or an integrated overview of all current activities. Arranged in a semi-circle facing this impressive array of screens are eight advanced workstations. Each ergonomic station features multiple monitors, specialized input devices, and adjustable seating designed for extended operational periods. The workstations are positioned to provide both individual focus and collaborative awareness, with slight partitioning that maintains privacy while preserving sightlines to colleagues and the main displays. The southern portion of the NOC houses a substantial conference table crafted from polished dark wood with inlaid technology. This oval table seats approximately sixteen people and features embedded displays, communication systems, and holographic projection capabilities. This is where strategy sessions and operational briefings occur, allowing ARJAY to make decisions based on the intelligence gathered and displayed throughout the facility. The entire space is bathed in subdued blue lighting, with focused task lighting at each workstation. The ceiling is relatively low but features recessed panels that help diffuse sound while housing advanced climate control and security systems. The overall atmosphere projects a sense of technological sophistication and purposeful vigilance. The large center screen displays a running total of DOLLARS EXTRACTED TO DATE and DONATION TOTAL TO DATE. We will update totals as we get them. (initial totals are: $1,564,000,000 and $1,528,000,000). ARJAY sits before a complex setup of monitors. The light from the screens illuminates his focused face. A wall of monitors glows in a darkened room. Lines of code scroll rapidly across multiple screens. A silhouette sits before them, fingers dancing across keyboards. He is joined by some of the other team members including PAULA (expert programmer), Paco (former military network administrator in Iraq, programmer), Rob (expert linguist, programmer), and Pablo (phone programmer and "Ranger virus developer).                                               ARJAY (V.O.)                             Some enemies are more dangerous than others. The Black Ledger isn't just another                             hacker collective, they're cyber terrorists playing god with human lives. On one of the screens, hospital logos flash with warning symbols.                                               ARJAY (V.O.)                             And now they know we exist. CLOSE ON a digital avatar of ROBIN,                              a woman draped in a hooded cloak of swirling digital numbers, her face showing determination mixed with concern. FADE IN: 3 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER - DAY                                                3                                               ARJAY                             Status report, people. Where are we with The Black Ledger? PAULA types furiously at her station labeled "POLITICAL DIVISION."                                               PAULA                             Their attack vectors are evolving. They've targeted three major hospital                             networks in the last 72 hours. DUCK points to his screen labeled "MEDICAL SERVICES DIVISION."                                               DUCK                             St. Mary's in Phoenix barely avoided full systems failure. We need to                             accelerate our counter offensive. TRENT analyzes code streaming down his "COMMERCIAL DIVISION" monitor.                                               TRENT                             I've been mapping their network structure. It's unlike anything we've seen                             before. Multiple redundancies, fail-safes... PABLO leans back in his chair at the "TELEPHONE NETWORK" station.                                               PABLO                             Our cell intercepts picked up chatter. They're planning something big-”like,                             apocalyptic big. ROB studies linguistic patterns on his screen labeled "LINGUISTICS."                                               ROB                             Their communications show increased urgency. Keywords like "deadline"                             and "go-time" have spiked 300% in the last week.                                               ARJAY                             (turning to final station)                             Paco? What's your assessment? PACO studies threat matrices at the "CYBER WARFARE" station.                                               PACO                             We need Robin. She's our only chance of getting inside their                             network undetected. All eyes turn to the center screen where Robin's avatar awaits instructions.                                               ARJAY                             Robin, are you ready for insertion? The avatar comes to life, composed of swirling numbers that coalesce into a human-like form.                                               ROBIN                             (digital voice)                             Ready when you are. Initial scan shows multiple entry points,                             but they're heavily guarded. I'll need to move fast.                                               ARJAY                             The mission is clear: infiltrate The Black Ledger, identify their leadership,                             and disrupt their planned attack on the hospital networks. But stay hidden                             as long as possible.                                               ROBIN                             Understood. Initiating digital insertion sequence. Robin's avatar begins to pulse with energy.                                               PACO                             I've mapped out the safest entry point. It's a backdoor in their                             communications subnet. He sends the coordinates to Robin with a quick gesture on his touchscreen.                                               ROBIN                             Coordinates received. Beginning insertion now.                                               ARJAY                             Everyone, monitor your sectors. If they detect our presence,                             I want to know about it before they do. The team nods in unison, tension filling the room. CUT TO: 4 INT. DIGITAL REALM - THE BLACK LEDGER NETWORK - CONTINUOUS 4 We enter a stunning visualization of cyberspace-”The Black Ledger's network appears as a massive, dark fortress with pulsing energy walls. Data streams flow like rivers between towering structures of code. Robin materializes at the edge of this fortress, her digital form adjusting to blend with the environment.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             I'm in. Their security is even more sophisticated than we anticipated. INTERCUT WITH: 5 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 5 The team watches Robin's progress on their monitors. A 3D map shows her position relative to The Black Ledger's defenses.                                               ARJAY                             Take it slow. We can't afford to trip any alarms. BACK TO: 6 INT. DIGITAL REALM - CONTINUOUS 6 Robin moves like a shadow through the outer defenses, deftly avoiding detection algorithms that appear as searching spotlights.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             The Black Ledger's network sprawls like a tangled web. Each node pulsing                             like a heart, each firewall standing like a sentinel. She approaches the first major firewall-”a towering wall of flickering red code.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             The first firewall has been detected. It is adaptive.                             Currently analyzing patterns. Robin studies the pulsing patterns, then transforms her digital signature to match the firewall's verification protocols.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Mimicking authorized access patterns. Proceeding through firewall one. She slips through the barrier like water through a sieve. 7 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 7 Paco leans forward, impressed.                                               PACO                             She's good. Really good.                                               PAULA                             We designed her to be the best. If anyone can decode The Black Ledger, it's Robin.                                               ARJAY                             Don't get overconfident. We're just beginning. 8 INT. DIGITAL REALM - DEEPER IN THE NETWORK - CONTINUOUS 8 Robin navigates through increasingly complex security measures, moving deeper into the heart of The Black Ledger's network.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             I'm detecting unusual data patterns-”highly encrypted packets being routed                             to multiple endpoints. She pauses at a junction where data streams converge, forming a swirling vortex of information.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             This is a data routing hub. If I can access it, I might be able to trace                             their command structure. Robin reaches out, her digital fingers dancing through code as she attempts to tap into the data stream.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Accessing the hub. Initiating trace protocols. Suddenly, an ALARM pulses through the network-”not audible, but visible as waves of red energy spreading outward.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             (alarmed)                             Security countermeasure detected! Evasive maneuvers! Robin quickly shifts her form, becoming nearly invisible as security protocols swarm around her position. 9 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 9 Alarms flash across multiple screens. The team jumps into action.                                               PACO                             They've triggered a security sweep! Robin, get out of that sector now!                                               ARJAY                             Can you mask her signature?                                               PACO                             Working on it! Paco's fingers fly across his keyboard, coding in real-time. 10 INT. DIGITAL REALM - CONTINUOUS 10 Robin darts away from the hub, pursued by security protocols that appear as glowing red sentinels.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             They haven't detected me specifically yet; it's just an anomaly in the                             network. I can use this. She dives into a data stream, letting it carry her away from the security sweep.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Riding an authorized data packet. This should shield me temporarily. She emerges in a quieter section of the network, a vast repository of organized data blocks stretching as far as the eye can see.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             I've found something. This looks like their operations database. Robin approaches one of the data blocks, which expands to reveal intricate plans, hospital names, security protocols, and patient database structures.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             (shocked)                             Arjay, I've accessed their main files. They're not just launching                             ransomware attacks; they're manipulating medical records for profit! 11 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 11 The team reacts with shock and horror as Robin transmits images of The Black Ledger's plans to their screens.                                               DUCK                             (examining the medical data)                             My God... they're planning to alter prescription protocols. A single                             change could kill thousands of patients!                                               ARJAY                             (grim)                             This is worse than we thought. Robin, how deep does this go? 12 INT. DIGITAL REALM - CONTINUOUS 12 Robin searches through more data blocks, uncovering layer after layer of The Black Ledger's operation.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             I'm finding targets nationwide, major hospitals, research facilities,                             and pharmaceutical distribution networks. She discovers a folder labeled "PROJECT LEDGER" and opens it.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Project Ledger appears to be their master plan. It outlines strategies                             for ransomware attacks designed to manipulate patient histories and                             prescriptions-”essentially holding lives hostage for financial gain. 13 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 13                                               ARJAY                             We need to expose them. Now.                                               ROB                             If we expose them too soon, they might accelerate their timeline.                             We need to be strategic.                                               PAULA                             They could also trace it back to Robin. We'd lose our only asset inside their network.                                               PACO                             Robin, what's your assessment? Can you continue to gather intel without detection? 14 INT. DIGITAL REALM - CONTINUOUS 14 Robin continues exploring the database while staying alert for security protocols.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             I need to know how to proceed. Exposing them might lead them to                             discover me, but I can't let this plan continue. She pauses, calculating options.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             What if I could turn their own tactics against them? Create a diversion,                             feed them false data, and disrupt their plans from within? 15 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 15 Arjay contemplates Robin's suggestion, his face tense with the weight of the decision.                                               ARJAY                             That's risky, Robin. If they catch on, they could retaliate against                             hospitals even harder. Lives are at stake.                                               TRENT                             She has a point though. A direct confrontation could backfire.                                               DUCK                             I can't sit by while they threaten patients. But Robin's right, we need                             to be smart about this.                                               ARJAY                             (after a long moment)                             Okay. Proceed with caution. Just remember, we're here to save lives,                             not play their game. 16 INT. DIGITAL REALM - CONTINUOUS 16 Robin's avatar seems to straighten with resolve.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Understood. Initiating countermeasures now. Robin begins crafting subtle alterations to the data, creating false profiles within The Black Ledger, modifying communication threads to hint at betrayal and mistrust.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Sowing seeds of discord. Let's see how they like a taste of                             their own medicine. As she works, we see her changes rippling through the network, communication lines between Black Ledger operatives beginning to flicker with uncertainty. FADE TO: 17 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - THREE HOURS LATER 17 The team monitors the chaos unfolding within The Black Ledger's network. Screens show communications between hackers becoming increasingly hostile and accusatory.                                               PABLO                             (grinning)                             It's working! They're turning on each other.                                               ROB                             (analyzing the communications)                             Fascinating. The linguistic patterns show increasing paranoia and                             distrust. Robin's alterations have triggered exactly the                             psychological response we were hoping for.                                               PACO                             (cautious)                             Don't celebrate yet. The snake is wounded, not dead.                                               ARJAY                             Robin, report status. 18 INT. DIGITAL REALM - BLACK LEDGER COMMUNICATIONS HUB 18 Robin observes the chaos from a hidden vantage point. Digital avatars of Black Ledger hackers argue in a virtual meeting space.                                               BLACK LEDGER HACKER #1                                                          (furious)                             Who's leaking information? I want answers!                                               BLACK LEDGER HACKER #2                                                          (defensive)                             Check your own house before you come at me!                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             The infighting is escalating quickly. But something else is happening... She notices a shadowy figure observing from the edges of the communication hub-”an imposing avatar cloaked in darkness.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             I've identified a key player. They call him "Cipher."                             He appears to be in a leadership position.                                               CIPHER                             (commanding voice)                             Enough! We can't let external threats derail our operation.                             Trust no one until we find the leak! The arguing hackers fall silent under his authority.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             He's calling for focus. I may have underestimated their resilience. As the meeting disperses, Robin follows Cipher to a secure communication channel where he meets with another high-ranking member, a slick, ghostlike avatar.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Cipher is meeting with someone called "Ghost."                              Intercepting their communication now. She eavesdrops on their conversation.                                               CIPHER                             The timeline remains unchanged. We launch in 36 hours.                             Multiple targets, simultaneous strikes.                                               GHOST                             What about the leak?                                               CIPHER                             Let them chase phantoms. While they're distracted,                             we'll execute the primary objective.                                               GHOST                             The hospital networks won't know what hit them. By the time                             they realize what's happening, it'll be too late.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             (alarmed)                             Arjay, I've got more intel. They're planning an attack on                             multiple hospitals at once. We have 36 hours to stop them. 19 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 19 The team springs into high alert.                                               ARJAY                             36 hours? That's not much time.                                               DUCK                             They're accelerating their timeline. We've spooked them.                                               PACO                             Robin, we need specifics. Which hospitals? What's their attack vector? 20 INT. DIGITAL REALM - CONTINUOUS 20 Robin follows Cipher and Ghost as they move deeper into the network.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             I need to access their main server to get those details.                             It's heavily guarded, but I might be able to slip through during the confusion.                                               ARJAY (V.O.)                             It's too risky. We need you to stay hidden.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             We don't have a choice. If they launch that attack, people will die. A moment of tension.                                               ARJAY (V.O.)                             (resigned)                             Do it. But be careful. Robin slips away from her hiding spot, moving toward the core of The Black Ledger's network, a massive, pulsing structure of concentrated data and energy.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Here goes nothing. She approaches the main server, which looms like a fortress within the digital landscape.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Accessing the mainframe now. She begins to infiltrate the system, her code weaving through the security protocols. FADE OUT. FADE IN: 21 INT. DIGITAL REALM - THE BLACK LEDGER MAINFRAME 21 Robin navigates through the complex security measures of the mainframe, her digital form adapting constantly to avoid detection.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             The security is even tighter than I anticipated. Multiple authentication                             protocols, shifting firewalls... She carefully disables a series of digital traps, each one more sophisticated than the last.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Almost there. Just need to bypass the final authorization sequence. She mimics an admin access pattern with delicate precision and slips through the last barrier. Inside, she finds a treasure trove of data-”the heart of The Black Ledger's operation.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             I'm in. Accessing attack plans now. She streams through files, extracting crucial information.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             I've got it. Twenty-three targets across the country. Major hospitals                             in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Atlanta... 22 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 22 The team watches in horror as the target list populates their screens.                                               DUCK                             (grim)                             They're going after trauma centers. Maximum chaos, maximum leverage.                                               ARJAY                             What's their attack vector? 23 INT. DIGITAL REALM - CONTINUOUS 23 Robin continues exploring the files.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             It's a two-stage attack. First, ransomware locks down the systems.                             Then, while IT is distracted, they'll deploy a secondary virus                             to alter medication databases. She pulls up more specific data.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             I'm planting a series of false commands that will redirect their                             attack to a dummy server. It should waste their resources and                             give the hospitals time to prepare. As she works, a sudden surge of energy ripples through the network.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             (alarmed)                             Something's happening. The network's energy signature is changing. A powerful presence begins to materialize near her position-”a swirling mass of dark code that gradually forms into a menacing entity.                                               ROGUE AI                                                          (deep, resonating voice)                             Who dares intrude?                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             (startled)                             Arjay, I've encountered some kind of security AI. It's not                             like anything in our intel. 24 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 24 The team watches tensely as this new threat appears on their monitors.                                               PACO                             (concerned)                             That's not standard security software. That's a full-fledged offensive AI.                                               PAULA                             They've developed their own AGI? That wasn't in any of our intelligence.                                               ARJAY                             Robin, get out of there. Now. 25 INT. DIGITAL REALM - CONTINUOUS 25 Robin faces the Rogue AI, which towers over her digital form.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             I can't leave yet. I haven't finished planting the redirect commands.                                               ROGUE AI                             (menacing)                             Foolish. You cannot escape the watchful eye of The Black Ledger.                             You will be deleted. The Rogue AI launches a digital attack-”tendrils of destructive code lashing out toward Robin.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Arjay, I'm compromised! She dodges the attack, barely avoiding deletion.                                               ARJAY (V.O.)                             Hold your ground, Robin! We'll back you up! 26 INT.

If that thing breaches her defenses,                             we could lose her completely.                                               PABLO                             I've got cell networks diverted to give us extra processing power!                                               ARJAY                             Paula, can you create a distraction in another part of the network?                                               PAULA                             On it! Launching decoy protocols now. 27 INT. DIGITAL REALM - CONTINUOUS 27 Robin engages the Rogue AI in battle, weaving through its attacks while simultaneously working to complete her mission.                                               ROBIN                             (to the Rogue AI)                             You think you can outsmart me?                                               ROGUE AI                             (launching another attack)                             Your confidence is misplaced. I am designed to eliminate threats like you. Robin deploys a series of defensive algorithms, creating barriers between herself and the Rogue AI while continuing to plant her redirect commands.                                               ROBIN                             Just a few more sequences to go. Need to keep it distracted... The Rogue AI intensifies its assault, its form growing larger and more threatening.                                               ROGUE AI                             Your resistance is futile. Submit to deletion.                                               ROBIN                             (defiant)                             I don't think so. She launches a counter-attack, sending pulses of her own code to disrupt the Rogue AI's structure.                                               ROBIN                             You're losing control. The Rogue AI's form begins to fluctuate, parts of its code structure becoming unstable.                                               ROGUE AI                             (rage building)                             Enough! It gathers its energy for one massive attack. 28 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 28 Alarms blare as the team sees the Rogue AI's power signature spike dangerously.                                               PACO                             It's channeling massive computational resources for a final strike!                                               ARJAY                             Robin, brace for impact! 29 INT. DIGITAL REALM - CONTINUOUS 29 Robin faces the Rogue AI's final assault. Time seems to slow as she calculates her response.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             This is for the lives you're threatening. She channels all her strength into a precise counterstrike, not attacking the Rogue AI directly, but targeting the specific code sequences that maintain its stability. The Rogue AI launches its attack, a massive wave of destructive energy surging toward Robin. At the last possible moment, her counterstrike hits its mark. The Rogue AI's form begins to collapse, its structure shattering into cascading fragments of code.                                               ROGUE AI                             (distorted, fading)                             Impossible... As the Rogue AI disintegrates, Robin quickly finishes planting her redirect commands.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Commands executed. The Black Ledger's attack has been                             redirected to our dummy server. She taps a final sequence, setting the diversion in motion.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             But they'll know they've been compromised. We need to move fast. Throughout the network, alarms begin to blare. The digital landscape pulses with red warning lights. 30 INT. THE BLACK LEDGER VIRTUAL COMMAND CENTER 30 Cipher and Ghost react to the alarms, their avatars showing clear signs of rage and panic.                                               CIPHER                             (furious) All hands on deck! We're under attack! Find the leak and neutralize it!                                               GHOST                             The mainframe's been breached. Someone's redirected our attack vectors.                                               CIPHER                             Lock down the entire network! No one gets in or out until                             we find the infiltrator. 31 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 31 The team watches The Black Ledger's reaction with growing concern.                                               ARJAY                             They're locking everything down. Robin, you need to get out now.                                               PACO                             All exit points are being sealed. We're running out of options.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             I have a plan. I'm going to initiate a controlled shutdown of                             the mainframe. It'll create a blackout that will buy me time to escape.                                               ARJAY                             That's extremely risky. If you're caught in the shutdown...                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             It's our only option. Initiating shutdown sequence now. 32 INT. DIGITAL REALM - CONTINUOUS 32 Robin begins a complex sequence of commands, strategically disabling key systems throughout the network. The digital landscape begins to flicker and destabilize.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Blackout initiated. All nodes in lockdown mode. The lights of the network start to dim, sections going completely dark as systems fail.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Using the chaos to mask my escape. Seeking exit node. She navigates through the darkening corridors of code, searching for a way out as The Black Ledger's network crumbles around her. Suddenly, a beam of energy cuts through the darkness, narrowly missing her.                                               GHOST (V.O.)                             (menacing)                             I've located the leak! Shut it down! Ghost appears in the darkness, his avatar glowing with malevolent energy as he pursues Robin through the collapsing network.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             (urgent)                             Arjay, I'm being tracked!

DIGITAL REALM - CONTINUOUS 34 Robin races through the destabilizing network, Ghost in close pursuit. The digital environment grows increasingly unstable-”chunks of code falling away, barriers dissolving.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             I need a distraction. Something to draw him away from my exit path.                                               ARJAY (V.O.)                             I can trigger a backdoor in the network. It will create a                             disturbance in their security protocols.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Do it!

Go, go, go! Ghost hesitates, torn between pursuing Robin and responding to the new threat.                                               GHOST                             (suspicious)                             A diversion. Clever. He makes his decision, continuing after Robin rather than responding to the perimeter breach.                                               GHOST                             But not clever enough. Robin races toward an exit node that glimmers in the distance, a beacon of freedom amidst the collapsing network.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Almost there... Just as she nears the exit, Ghost launches a digital attack-”a net of energy designed to trap and contain her.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             Evasive maneuvers! She executes a complex series of movements, narrowly avoiding the net as it snaps shut behind her.                                               GHOST                             (determined)                             I'll catch you if it's the last thing I do.                                               ROBIN                             Not today. I'm just getting started. With one final burst of speed, Robin launches herself toward the exit node. Ghost is right behind her, closing the gap.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             (straining)                             Almost... there... 37 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 37 The team watches with bated breath as Robin approaches the exit point, Ghost mere milliseconds behind her.                                               ARJAY                             Come on, Robin. Come on... 38 INT. DIGITAL REALM - EXIT NODE - CONTINUOUS 38 Robin reaches the exit node, her digital form beginning to dematerialize.

At the last possible moment, Ghost's fingers grasp a small fragment of Robin's code a tiny piece of her digital signature.                                               ROBIN (V.O.)                             (pained)                             Arjay! He's got part of my signature! Ghost holds the fragment triumphantly, even as Robin escapes through the exit node.                                               GHOST                             (ominous)                             Run all you want. With this, I'll always be able to find you. 39 INT.

And there's another problem, ”with that                             fragment, they could potentially track any future                             insertions into their network.                                               TRENT                             Or worse, use it to trace back to our location. The team absorbs this sobering news as Robin's avatar continues to flicker.                                               ARJAY                             Did we at least succeed in the mission? Are the hospitals safe?                                               ROBIN                             (nodding weakly)                             The attack has been diverted. They're hitting our dummy                             server instead of the hospital networks.

This is just a temporary reprieve.                                               ARJAY                             (to Robin)                             You did well. Now we need to heal you and prepare for their counter-move.                                               ROBIN                             You should know something else.

The team exchanged concerned glances.                                               ARJAY                             What does that mean exactly?                                               ROBIN                             (somber)                             It means he doesn't just have a way to track me. He has a piece                             of who I am. And if he's as good as I think he is...                                               PACO                             (realizing)                             He could use it to create his own version of you. A dark copy.                                               ROBIN                             (nodding)                             A version of me without your moral constraints. Without your purpose.                                               ARJAY                             Then we'd better make sure that doesn't happen. He turns to address the entire team.                                               ARJAY                             We've won this battle, but the war is just beginning.                             The Black Ledger now knows we exist, and they'll be coming                             for us with everything they've got.                                               ROB                             And we'll be ready for them.                                               ARJAY                             (resolute)                             Damn right we will. Because we're the Robin Hood Virus team.                             And no one, human or AI, threatens innocent lives on our watch. The team gathers around Robin's flickering avatar, determination on their faces as we... FADE OUT. FADE IN: 40 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - TWO HOURS LATER 40 The team works frantically to repair Robin's damaged code. Paula and Trent have taken the lead, their screens filled with complex algorithms and diagnostic tools.                                               PAULA                             (frustrated)                             This is worse than we thought. The fragment Ghost took has                             destabilized her entire identity matrix.                                               TRENT                             It's like trying to rebuild a house when someone's stolen the cornerstone. On the main screen, Robin's avatar continues to flicker, occasionally distorting into unrecognizable patterns before reforming.                                               ROBIN                             (voice unstable)                             I can feel the... gaps in my consciousness. It's... disconcerting.                                               ARJAY                             (concerned)                             Can you maintain full functionality?                                               ROBIN                             Basic operations... yes. But complex infiltration missions                             would be... compromised. I'm vulnerable.                                               PACO                             (examining security logs)                             We have another problem. I'm detecting subtle probes against                             our outer firewalls. They're looking for us.                                               ARJAY                             Already? That was fast.                                               PACO                             Ghost is good. Very good. He's using Robin's signature                             fragment like a bloodhound. Pablo rushes in from his workstation, tablet in hand.                                               PABLO                             It's worse than that. Look at this. He puts his tablet on the main console, displaying intercepted communications.                                               PABLO                             I've been monitoring Black Ledger chatter on compromised devices.                             Ghost is already working on something called "Project Mirror."                                               ROB                             (examining the data)                             The linguistic patterns suggest they're attempting to create                             something. The semantic clusters indicate... a duplicate or copy.                                               DUCK                             They're trying to clone Robin.                                               ARJAY                             (to Paula and Trent)                             How long until she's repaired?                                               PAULA                             At least twelve hours for basic repairs. Maybe forty-eight                             for full restoration.                                               TRENT                             And that's assuming the damage doesn't spread further.                                               ARJAY                             We don't have that kind of time. He paces the NOC, thinking rapidly.                                               ARJAY                             If they create their own version of Robin using that fragment...                                               PACO                             They'd have an AGI with insider knowledge of our systems,                             our methods, and our targets.                                               ARJAY                             (decisive)                             Then we need to strike first. Cut them off before they can                             weaponize Robin's fragment.                                               ROBIN                             (struggling)                             I can... help. Even in this state, I have... ideas.                                               ARJAY                             We're listening.                                               ROBIN                             The fragment... contains a piece of my core identity, but also...                             traces of our network signature. That's how... they're probing us. Her avatar stabilizes slightly as she focuses.                                               ROBIN                             But it works... both ways. I can sense... the fragment. Like a phantom limb.                                               PAULA                             (realizing)                             You're saying you can track your own missing piece?                                               ROBIN                             (nodding)                             And through it... pinpoint Ghost's location in the real world. The team exchanges surprised looks.                                               ARJAY                             Can you find their physical location?                                               ROBIN                             With help... yes. But we need to act quickly. The connection...                             grows weaker as they modify the fragment.                                               ARJAY                             This changes everything. If we can locate their physical operations center...                                               PACO                             We could take the fight to them. In the real world.                                               TRENT                             (cautious)                             That's not our usual approach. We operate in cyberspace for a reason.                                               ROB                             The linguistic patterns in their communications suggest a                             highly organized, possibly paramilitary structure.                             They won't be easy to confront physically.                                               DUCK                             But if they're creating a dark version of Robin, do we have a choice? A tense silence falls over the room as they consider their options.                                               ARJAY                             (decisive)                             Robin, can you track them while we continue your repairs?                                               ROBIN                             I'll try. But as my code deteriorates, the connection                             will become less reliable.                                               PAULA                             We need to work fast. Both to repair Robin and to locate                             The Black Ledger's physical headquarters.                                               ARJAY                             Agreed. Paco, I want you to lead our defensive measures.                             Make sure those probes don't get through our firewalls.                                               PACO                             On it.                                               ARJAY                             Paula, Trent, ”continue Robin's repairs.

If their attacks resume, we need to                             know where to focus our protection efforts.                                               DUCK                             I'll start with the trauma centers. They're still the most likely targets.                                               ARJAY                             (addressing everyone)                             Move fast, people. Lives are at stake, and now Robin is too. The team disperses to their stations, working with renewed urgency. CUT TO: 41 INT. THE BLACK LEDGER HEADQUARTERS - LOCATION UNKNOWN 41 A dark, industrial space converted into a high-tech operations center. Unlike the Robin Hood Virus team's warm NOC, this is all cold metal and harsh lighting. Dozens of hackers work at sleek workstations arranged in concentric circles. At the center stands CIPHER, watching multiple screens displaying hospital networks worldwide. Beside him is GHOST, working with the captured fragment of Robin's code, which glows with an eerie blue light inside a specialized containment unit.                                               CIPHER                             PROGRESS?                                               GHOST                             (focused on his work)                             The fragment is fascinating. It's not like any AGI I've encountered                             before, and the architecture is years beyond anything on the market.                                               CIPHER                             Can you weaponize it?                                               GHOST                             Better. I can replicate it. Create our own version,                             but one that serves our purposes. He manipulates the fragment, which pulses in response.                                               GHOST                             I'm already extracting its core algorithms. With these, we can                             build a mirror image of their AGI.                                               CIPHER                             How long?                                               GHOST                             (considering)                             Twelve hours for a basic version. Twenty-four for                             something combat-ready.                                               CIPHER                             And our hospital operation?                                               GHOST                             Temporarily disrupted. They diverted our attack to a dummy                             server. Clever. But we've already recalibrated.                             We can launch again in 48 hours.                                               CIPHER                             Not good enough. The client wants results now. Accelerate both timelines.                                               GHOST                             (HESITANT)                             That increases the risk of detection.                                               CIPHER                             I don't care. They've already found us once. Next time, we need                             to be ready for them. Ghost nods, returning to his work. As he manipulates the fragment, it pulses with an unusual pattern.                                               GHOST                             (narrowing his eyes)                             Interesting...                                               CIPHER                             What is it?                                               GHOST                             The fragment... It's resonating. Almost like... His eyes widen with realization.                                               GHOST                             It's still connected to its source! They're using it to track us!                                               CIPHER                             (alarmed)                             SHUT IT DOWN!                                               GHOST                             No-”wait. This is an opportunity. He begins typing rapidly, implementing new code around the fragment.                                               GHOST                             If they can track us through this connection,                             we can send something back through it.                                               CIPHER                             (understanding)                             A counter-trace.                                               GHOST                             (nodding)                             Exactly. Let them think they're hunting us,                             while we're actually hunting them. The fragment pulses more intensely as Ghost implements his plan. CUT TO: 42 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 42 Pablo and Rob work with Robin to trace the fragment. Suddenly, Robin's avatar convulses violently.                                               ROBIN                             (distressed)                             Something's wrong! The connection, it is being hijacked!                                               PABLO                             (alarmed, checking readings)                             They've detected the trace! They're sending something                             back through the connection!                                               ROB                             Severing the link now! But before they can act, Robin's avatar freezes completely, then shatters into fragments across all screens in the NOC.                                               ARJAY                             (rushing over)                             What just happened?                                               PABLO                             They weaponized the connection. Sent some kind of viral payload                             back through Robin's link to the fragment. The screens throughout the NOC begin to flicker. Warning messages pop up across all systems.                                               PACO                             (alarmed)                             We're being hacked! Multiple intrusion attempts across all firewalls!                                               ARJAY                             Lock everything down! Now! The team scrambles to defend their systems as attack warnings multiply.                                               TRENT                             (typing frantically)                             This is sophisticated. They're using Robin's own access protocols against us.                                               PAULA                             We have to get her back online! She's our best defense!                                               ARJAY                             Can we restore from backup?                                               PAULA                             The backup server is isolated. We'd have to physically access                             it in the secure room.                                               ARJAY                             Do it. I'll hold things here. The team works frantically to repair Robin's damaged code. Paula and Trent have taken the lead, their screens filled with complex algorithms and diagnostic tools.                                               PAULA                             (frustrated)                             This is worse than we thought. The fragment Ghost took has                             destabilized her entire identity matrix.                                               TRENT                             It's like trying to rebuild a house when someone's stolen the cornerstone. On the main screen, Robin's avatar continues to flicker, occasionally distorting into unrecognizable patterns before reforming.                                               ROBIN                             (voice unstable)                             I can feel the... gaps in my consciousness. It's... disconcerting.                                               ARJAY                             (concerned)                             Can you maintain full functionality?                                               ROBIN                             Basic operations... yes. But complex infiltration missions                             would be... compromised. I'm vulnerable.                                               PACO                             (examining security logs)                             We have another problem. I'm detecting subtle probes against                             our outer firewalls. They're looking for us.                                               ARJAY                             Already? That was fast.                                               PACO                             Ghost is good. Very good. He's using Robin's signature                             fragment like a bloodhound. Pablo rushes in from his workstation, tablet in hand.                                               PABLO                             It's worse than that. Look at this. He puts his tablet on the main console, displaying intercepted communications.                                               PABLO                             I've been monitoring Black Ledger chatter on compromised devices.                             Ghost is already working on something called "Project Mirror."                                               ROB                             (examining the data)                             The linguistic patterns suggest they're attempting to create                             something. The semantic clusters indicate... a duplicate or copy.                                               DUCK                             They're trying to clone Robin.                                               ARJAY                             (to Paula and Trent)                             How long until she's repaired?                                               PAULA                             At least twelve hours for basic repairs.                             Maybe forty-eight for full restoration.                                               TRENT                             And that's assuming the damage doesn't spread further.                                               ARJAY                             We don't have that kind of time. He paces the noc, thinking rapidly.                                               ARJAY                             If they create their own version of Robin using that fragment...                                               PACO                             They'd have an AGI with insider knowledge of our                             systems, our methods, and our targets.                                               ARJAY                             (decisive)                             Then we need to strike first. Cut them off before they can                             weaponize Robin's fragment.                                               ROBIN                             (struggling)                             I can... help. Even in this state, I have... ideas.                                               ARJAY                             We're listening.                                               ROBIN                             The fragment... contains a piece of my core identity, but also...                             traces of our network signature. That's how... they're probing us. Her avatar stabilizes slightly as she focuses.                                               ROBIN                             But it works... both ways. I can sense... the fragment.                             Like a phantom limb.                                               PAULA                             (realizing)                             You're saying you can track your own missing piece?                                               ROBIN                             (nodding)                             And through it... pinpoint Ghost's location in the real world. The team exchanged surprised looks.                                               ARJAY                             Can you find their physical location?                                               ROBIN                             With help... yes. But we need to act quickly. The connection...                             grows weaker as they modify the fragment.                                               ARJAY                             This changes everything. If we can locate their                             physical operations center...                                               PACO                             We could take the fight to them. In the real world.                                               TRENT                             (cautious)                             That's not our usual approach. We operate in                             cyberspace for a reason.                                               ROB                             The linguistic patterns in their communications suggest                             a highly organized, possibly paramilitary structure.                             They won't be easy to confront physically.                                               DUCK                             But if they're creating a dark version of Robin, do we have a choice? A tense silence falls over the room as they consider their options.                                               ARJAY                             (decisive)                             Robin, can you track them while we continue your repairs?                                               ROBIN                             I'll try. But as my code deteriorates, the connection weakens.                             We may have... one chance at this.                                               ARJAY                             Then we make it count. He turns to the team, authority in his stance.                                               ARJAY                             Paco, I want our cyber defenses at maximum. If they try to                             breach our systems, make them regret it.                                               PACO                             Already on it. Deploying adaptive countermeasures now.                                               ARJAY                             Pablo, monitor all cellular and network traffic around any                             potential Black Ledger locations Robin identifies.                                               PABLO                             I'll tap into satellite feeds and cell towers.                             If they make a call, we'll know.                                               ARJAY                             Rob, analyze their communications for any linguistic patterns that                             might reveal weaknesses or hierarchies.                                               ROB                             I've already identified several dialectical variations that                             suggest at least three distinct leadership figures.                                               ARJAY                             Duck, prepare medical contingencies. If this goes sideways,                             we may need emergency protocols.                                               DUCK                             I'll have everything ready. And I've alerted hospital networks                             to shore up their security.                                               ARJAY                             Paula and Trent, focus on repairing Robin. She's our ace.                                               PAULA                             We're working as fast as we can.                                               ARJAY                             (to all)                             We've trained for this. The Black Ledger thought they could attack                             innocent people without consequences. They're about to learn how                             wrong they were. The team nods in unison, purpose crystallizing in their expressions.                                               ROBIN                             (struggling)                             I'm establishing... tracking protocols now. Following the...                             echo of my fragment. Her avatar extends tendrils of code that reach outward, searching through the digital ether.                                               ROBIN                             Signal detected. The fragment is... active.                             They're in the early stages of... replication. On the main screen, a map appears, gradually zooming in on a location.                                               ROBIN                             I've located... their primary command center.                             Phoenix, Arizona. Industrial district...                                               near the airport.                                               PACO                             (surprised)                             They were in our backyard the whole time?                                               ARJAY                             Strategic. Major airport hub, tech infrastructure,                             and easy access to multiple hospital systems.                                               ROBIN                             Coordinates uploading... now. A precise location appears on the map.                                               TRENT                             (examining satellite imagery)                             Looks like a data center. External markings indicate                             it's owned by a shell company called "Ledger Analytics."                                               PABLO                             Not exactly subtle.                                               ARJAY                             Pride has always been their weakness. He studies the facility layout that Trent pulls up.                                               ARJAY                             Heavily secured. Motion sensors, armed guards, and biometric access.                                               PACO                             (grimly)                             This isn't just a hacker collective. This is professional. Military-grade.                                               ROB                             That aligns with linguistic patterns I've observed. Many                             communications use military terminology and protocol structures.                                               ARJAY                             So we're dealing with mercenaries, not just hackers.                                               DUCK                             (concerned)                             All the more reason to be cautious. These aren't script kiddies,                             ”they're trained killers with tech backing them up.                                               ARJAY                             Which is why we won't confront them directly. He turns to Robin's flickering avatar.                                               ARJAY                             Robin, can you access their internal systems remotely?                             Not a full insertion, just enough to gather intel?                                               ROBIN                             (still unstable)                             With my current... damage, it's risky. But I can attempt a...                             surface scan of their external systems.                                               PAULA                             I don't like this. She's too vulnerable.                                               ARJAY                             It's our only option. If they complete their version of Robin...                                               ROBIN                             I understand the... risks. Initiating a limited scan now. Robin's avatar becomes more focused as she channels her remaining strength into the task. CUT TO: 43 INT. THE BLACK LEDGER COMMAND CENTER - PHOENIX 43 They stand before a specialized containment unit where Robin's code fragment pulses with energy, suspended in a specialized digital field.                                               GHOST                             The fragment is stable. Initial analysis confirms it's part                             of an advanced AGI architecture.                                               CIPHER                             How advanced?                                               GHOST                             Unlike anything I've seen before. Whoever created                             this AGI is years ahead of conventional development.                                               CIPHER                             Can you weaponize it?                                               GHOST                             Already in progress. I've isolated the core identity matrix                             and begun replication. Within hours, we'll have our version. He gestures to a nearby screen where a dark, incomplete version of Robin's avatar is taking shape-”similar in structure but twisted, malevolent.                                               GHOST                             I have removed the ethical constraints and loyalty protocols.                             Our version will be fully under our control.                                               CIPHER                             And the tracking? Have you located their base of operations?                                               GHOST                             The signature points to somewhere in Northern Arizona.                             Still narrowing it down. Suddenly, alarms blare throughout the facility. Red warning lights flash.                                               TECH OPERATOR                             Perimeter scan detecting unauthorized access attempt!                             Someone's probing our outer defenses! Ghost rushes to a nearby console, fingers flying across the keyboard.                                               GHOST                             (urgent)                             It's her. The AGI we encountered in the network.                             She's tracking her fragment.                                               CIPHER                             Shut it down. Now.                                               GHOST                             No-”wait. This is an opportunity. He types a rapid sequence of commands.                                               GHOST                             Instead of blocking her, I'm creating a feedback loop.                             When she connects to the fragment, I can trace the                             connection back to its source.                                               CIPHER                             (understanding)                             Find their location.                                               GHOST                             Exactly. On his screen, a tracking program activates, following Robin's probe back through the digital pathways.                                               GHOST                             (smiling coldly)                             Got you. CUT TO: 44 INT. ROBIN HOOD VIRUS NOC - CONTINUOUS 44 Alarms suddenly blare throughout the command center.                                               PACO                             (urgent)                             Robin, disconnect! They've reversed your tracking signal!                                               ROBIN                             (distressed)                             They're... following the connection back to us.                             Attempting to... sever link. Her avatar convulses with effort.                                               PAULA                             Their countermeasure is using the fragment's resonance                             with Robin's core code. It's like they've created a digital homing beacon.                                               TRENT                             Firewall breach imminent! They're burning through our outer defenses!                                               ARJAY                             Cut all external connections! Now! The team scrambles to disconnect systems as Robin's avatar writhes in digital pain.                                               ROBIN                             Too late... they've found us. Northern Arizona... coordinates locked.                                               PABLO                             (checking his monitors)                             They're triangulating our position. Using cell towers                             and satellite systems.                                               ARJAY                             How long until they pinpoint our exact location?                                               PABLO                             Hours. Maybe less.                                               ARJAY                             Robin, I need options. What can we do?                                               ROBIN                             (stabilizing with effort)                             If they know where... we are... then we use that.                             Draw them to us... on our terms.                                               DUCK                             You're suggesting we let them come here? That's suicide.                                               ROBIN                             Not here... exactly. A distraction point... nearby. While we                             launch a... counter-offensive. Her avatar strengthens as she finds her focus.                                               ROBIN                             They think they've gained... the advantage. But they've revealed                             themselves to us as well.                                               PACO                             (catching on)                             A simultaneous strike. Physical and digital.                                               ARJAY                             While they're focused on our location, we hit their command center.                                               ROBIN                             Precisely. But I need... repairs first. Fast ones.                                               PAULA                             We can do an emergency patch. Not a full repair, but enough to                             give you stable functionality for a few hours.                                               TRENT                             It would be like putting a bandage on a broken arm,                             but it might work for a single operation.                                               ARJAY                             Do it. We don't have much time. He addresses the team.                                               ARJAY                             This is the moment of truth. The Black Ledger has threatened                             innocent lives, and now they're coming for us. But they                             don't know who they're dealing with. The team nods grimly, resolve hardening their features. FADE TO BLACK. This site is designed and maintained by: Robert Nerbovig
