(LOCATION: Inside the dilapidated factory, their temporary base.)

(The four are gathered around a map Maddah is drawing on the dusty floor with charcoal.)

MADDAH: (Pointing to a spot) "If they enter from here… they'll head for this corner first. Qassem, you'll be up high, waiting for the signal."

QASSEM: (Coldly) "And what if they don't enter from that side?"

MADDAH: (With a small smile) "That's why I created three false entrances. They will enter from the side we want them to."

MERENJI: (Lifting a heavy metal beam) "Oh, a brilliant plan from the man with the cartoon glasses. Alright, where do I put this?"

MADDAH: (Sarcastically) "Next to your brain, if there's room."

(Taher lets out a light laugh.)

TAHER: "Good. That's the first time you've had a comeback for him before he had one for you."

[SCENE 2]

(Maddah explains the full plan as the camera shows imagined visuals of its execution.)

MADDAH: "The plan depends on timing. At 0400, the supply truck arrives. Its noise will cover us. Merenji, you'll use your lighter to start a diversionary fire at the power station. Taher, you'll use the chaos to climb the weak western wall and throw the smoke bombs we made inside. That will force them out of the main entrance… right into our trap. Qassem, you'll be with me in the ambush."

[SCENE 3]

(A quick, energetic montage with tense music. We see the heroes working together to prepare the traps in the alley Maddah designated.)

 * Merenji and Taher work together to rig a simple trap of rusted wires and metal.

 * Qassem sets up empty cans high above, tied with a thin string, as a primitive alarm system.

 * Maddah observes, double-checks, and rearranges everything with the precision of a soldier.

[SCENE 4]

(LOCATION: Their final positions. Evening has fallen, the shadows are growing.)

(The heroes wait in silence. The tension is palpable.)

TAHER: (Looking at the grey sky of the Bottom, he whispers) "If the plan fails… what do we do?"

MERENJI: (Coldly, checking his primitive weapon) "We run, we scream, and we blame Maddah."

MADDAH: (Over the comms) "Agreed… but you have to blame me after we survive, not before."

QASSEM: (Clenching his fist, his eyes fixed on the tavern's entrance) "I'm not running this time."

(A distant sound… footsteps…)

[SCENE 5]

NARRATOR (V.O.):

"Sometimes, the silence before the action is louder than any scream… And sometimes… it's the declaration of war."

(FINAL SHOT: The shadow of a huge man enters the alley, followed by three armed men. On the neck of one of them, we clearly see the tattoo of a "Bee.")

MADDAH (whispering into the comms):

"The show has begun."

(The screen cuts to black.)
