INT.LABORATORY – A MOMENT LATER

Farrukh and Night set up semicircles on both sides, creating a circle and leaving spaces. Night goes to the artificial intelligence and starts giving him instructions in writing. Writes the date: 12.04.2102year.

The circle will begin to glow with a golden light. Night looks at Farrukh and he responds to him and they smile at each other.

Artificial intelligence will begin to show information, Night a frowning forehead reads and turning his head to Farrukh head gives a sign to go here. Farrukh walks quickly and stands next to Night and reads the news in a transparent screen. He's frowning too.

FARRUKH (LOOKING WORRIEDLY AT THE PROFESSOR)

Maybe we should finalize it first?

NIGHT (LOOKING AT THE SCREEN)

I can't wait any longer.

Farrukh looks at him and opens his mouth to say something, but then closes it and turns away.

FARRUKH (SMILING AT THE SCREEN)

You're right, it's worth a try. Everything will be fine.

Night smiles back and walks towards the glowing circle. And goes into it.

TITLE:
2102

We see Night's eyes open and a joyful smile appears on his face and we see NIGHT FROM the PAST who is working on a semicircle. He looks at us in fright and we look around at another Night and begin to rotate around two Nights.

NIGHT FROM THE PAST (SHOCKED AT FIRST, SMILING QUESTIONINGLY AFTER A SECOND) Did it work? When?

NIGHT FROM THE FUTURE (SMILING HAPPILY) Soon. Just don't stop. I have to go.

Night turns around and pressing the black stone remote control on his hand disappears. Night from the past laughs happily and continues to do his job.

TITLE:
2103 YEAR

Night appears and laughs, and Farrukh starts laughing too. Night displays the date on the program: 2103 on July 10. Farrukh looks at him and frowns.

FARRUKH (LOOKING AT THE PROFESSOR)

Maybe you shouldn't go there?

NIGHT (DOESN'T LOOK AT HIM AND CONTINUES TO WRITE CODES)

Don't worry, everything will be fine.

Farrukh opens and closes his mouth. He stands and looks at Night. Night, when finished, looks at Farrukh and pats him on the shoulder and goes to the right side. Farrukh follows him with his eyes.

TITLE:
10.07.2103

Night appears from the glowing circle and the smile disappears from his face. Turning around, we see NIGHT FROM THE FUTURE lying on the ground in blood. His eyes are closed, there is blood on his stomach up to his trousers. Slowly we look at the girl's hand, there is a gun in it, we get up and see a frightened LOLA. With her eyes wide open, she looks at Night lying in blood and sits. She's looking at us. We're looking at Night.

Night feels anger and looks at us and takes a small step with one foot, takes a step back with the same foot and pressing the stone remote disappears. He understands that there is nothing he can do now.

BLACKOUT:

TITLE:
2103 YEAR JULY 3

Night walks quickly back and forth and combs his hair back with his hands. He's angry. Stops.

MEMORY:
We slowly rise from the bloody Night and see the girl's hand with a gun. Slowly we look at her clothes. She is wearing a pink and black sports T-shirt. The top is pink, the bottom is black.

NIGHT (LOOKING STRAIGHT AT HIMSELF)

She is from the last century.

Farrukh stands silently and looks in his direction. Night quickly goes towards artificial intelligence and writes codes there. A drawing appears on the screen. But we only see the girl's shoulders. The photo rotates. Night looks at the photo without blinking. His face is getting closer.

NIGHT (WITHOUT TAKING HIS EYES OFF A LITTLE FROM ABOVE US) Bring her to me.

Farrukh nods his head and, bending down next to the professor, writes data with a pen on a piece of paper. Then he goes towards the glowing circle and enters it. Disappears. Slowly we go back and see the data about Lola and her rotating photo.

BLACKOUT:

TITLE:
ON THE EDGE OF THE FUTURE

INT. LOLA'S ROOM – EARLY MORNING

Lola sighs, wakes up abruptly and sits down. She combs her hair back with her hands. She rubs her eyes. Throws the blanket aside and gets out of bed.

There is a phone in the nightstand. Lola's hand will lock the phone and the screen shows 100% battery and time: 5:07 date: 3.07.2023, against the background, Lola is smiling and holding a teddy bear in her hands.

Lola walks away yawning.

INT. CORRIDOR

Lola walks towards us and looks straight, not at us.

INT. KITCHEN

She comes in and goes to the refrigerator. After opening it, she takes bottled water from there. Opens it and drinks from the neck. Drinks and closes the refrigerator. Drinks and goes. After finishing, she closes the lid and sits down on the bar stool. Leaning her hand against the table, she bows her head to her hand.

VOICE (LOLA WITH PAUSES BETWEEN SENTENCES)

I often have such strange dreams. Strange and meaningless. That's why I didn't pay attention this time either.

Lola goes to the side.

INT. LOLA'S ROOM

Lola comes in with a bottle of water in her hand. Puts it on the nightstand next to the phone. It will remove the wire from the phone and from the current. Put it on the nightstand. She touches her forehead with one hand and closes her eyes. Falls on the bed. She opens her eyes, Wiping her face with his hand, turns on her side and covers herself with a blanket. Closes her eyes.

INT. LOLA'S ROOM – MORNING

The alarm clock on the phone rings. The time is 6 o'clock in the morning. Lola's hand appears and disables it.

We see Lola. She barely gets out of bed, rubs her eyes, pushes her hair back from her forehead. Throws the blanket aside and stands up.

INT. BATHROOM

Lola is brushing her teeth. She feels broken and tired. Washes her face. She looks at herself in the mirror.

INT. LOLA'S ROOM

She dresses in a black sports shirt and a pink T-shirt. Collects her hair in a ponytail. She looks at herself in the mirror. She leaves the room.

INT. ENTRANCE

Lola locks the door. She will put the key in the hiding place under the door. She wore a white sneaker. Connects headphones to her smartphone. Includes the song "Marie Gu – the Bride".

Goes.

EXT. PARK

Lola runs around with headphones on. The park is completely green. The sun shines easily. It's not hot yet. Lola nods her head in greeting and says "assalom alaikum" to an old woman under 80 without sounding. She smiles back and also responds to the greeting "vaaleikum assalom". Music is playing in the background. There aren't many people in the park. Several people are running. One woman aged 35 is walking with a 7-year-old child. Lola looks at them for more than 3 seconds. Lola's phone rings. She removes the headphones and picks up the phone. She stops and leans on the railing, begins to look at the river. The birds of the park are floating there.
