(Elina sits at her desk,late night, laptop open, city lights spilling through the window. A new message pops up from her boss.)
(FL BOSS)ARTHUR
"Alina. New assignment. Big one."
(Fl)Elina
"ON Weekend"
(FL BOSS)ARTHUR
"This one can’t wait. We want a full piece on the Night Baron."
(Fl)Elina
"The urban legend? The vigilante killer everyone’s terrified of?"
(FL BOSS)ARTHUR
"Exactly. Nobody’s seen his face, nobody knows his name. He’s been wiping out the worst criminals in the country for years, and we’ve got nothing but whispers. Find out who he is. Or if he even exists."
(Fl)Elina
"And if he doesn’t want to be found
(FL BOSS)ARTHUR
"Then make him a headline anyway. This story will make your career."
(The message ends. Elina leans back, staring at her ceiling, restless.)
(Fl)Elina
(to herself) "Night Baron… Who are you? And why does it feel like I’ve seen those eyes before?"
(She opens a secure chat with her trusted tech contact, Edward.)
(Fl)Elina
"Need everything you can dig up on Night Baron. Every crime scene, every rumor, every shadow."
(FL TECH)Edward
"Bold move. You know half the underworld would kill to bury that name?"
(Fl)Elina
"Good. That means I’m on the right trail."
(Cut to Leo’s secret lair. He stands over a map dotted with red marks of places he’s struck. His encrypted phone vibrates—a notification: “Inquiry Detected: Journalist digging into NIGHT BARON.” He stares at the alert silently, then smirks.)
(ML)Leo
"A reporter, huh? Let’s see how long you last in my world."
(He shuts off the phone. The camera lingers on his hooded silhouette as the screen fades to black.).........
