Screenplay draft
Title: CAT IN THE HAT GOES BLACK Credit: Written by Author: b0ase Draft date: 18 May 2026 Contact: richardwboase@gmail.com FADE IN. INT. CHICAGO VIADUCT - NIGHT Sodium vapor lamps buzz overhead. Rain films the concrete pillars. MARCUS HALE, late 30s, stands in a faded red-and-white striped coat and bent stovepipe hat. A small neural mesh glints at the brim. Three commuters watch from the dry side. Marcus tips the hat. A low hum rises. One commuter’s eyes glaze for half a second. Marcus catches the credit transfer on his wristband and moves on. EXT. TENTH-FLOOR WALK-UP - LATER Marcus climbs the stairs. The coat is now folded under his arm. He unlocks the door. INT. MARCUS’S APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS LENA HALE, 10, sits at the table with a tablet. She does not look up. LENA You were late again. MARCUS Traffic under the bridge. He sets the hat on the counter. The mesh inside it still pulses once, faintly. INT. MARCUS’S APARTMENT - MORNING Lena eats cereal. Marcus checks his wristband credits. She glances at the hat. LENA Why do people pay to forget? MARCUS Some memories are better left unbanked. INT. MARCUS’S APARTMENT - NIGHT Marcus preps the suit. Lena’s school implant check pings on her tablet. LENA Implant scan tomorrow. They say it’s routine. MARCUS Routine’s good. EXT. CHICAGO VIADUCT - NIGHT Marcus performs. Commuters laugh, then blank. Credits ping. DR. VOSS, early 50s, steps from the shadows. DR. VOSS Private show. Triple rate. Tonight. Marcus studies him. MARCUS Under the same lights? DR. VOSS Exactly. INT. MARCUS’S APARTMENT - LATER Marcus returns. Lena stares at family photos. LENA Who’s the woman with the dark hair? Marcus freezes. MARCUS Your mother. Maya. Lena’s eyes stay empty. INT. MARCUS’S APARTMENT - NIGHT Marcus tries to disable the mesh. The suit hums, feeding fragments of strangers’ lives into his skull. He rips it off, breathing hard. EXT. SOUTH SIDE DINER - NIGHT Marcus meets JAX REYES, mid 40s, in a booth. Jax chews gum. JAX That mesh was mine once. Corporate demo. They canceled it when it started eating recall. MARCUS How do I turn it off? JAX You don’t. You overload it or you sell. INT. CHICAGO VIADUCT - NIGHT Marcus tests controlled extractions on willing marks. Lena’s gaps widen at home. She forgets homework instructions. INT. ABANDONED UNDERPASS - NIGHT Voss shows Marcus a live feed of Lena’s remaining memories uploaded to his ledger. DR. VOSS Your daughter’s data is quite valuable now. Marcus’s hands shake. EXT. CITY GRID - NIGHT Voss’s crew tracks Marcus through residual mesh pings. Footsteps echo. INT. MARCUS’S APARTMENT - DAWN Lena wakes unable to recognize Marcus at all. LENA Where’s my dad? Marcus stands in the doorway, gutted. INT. MARCUS’S APARTMENT - NIGHT Marcus sits alone wearing only the blackened hat. Rain taps the window. EXT. SOUTH SIDE SERVER FARM - NIGHT Marcus jacks the suit into the farm’s main node. Servers whine. He floods Voss’s ledger with corrupted files from his own memories. The mesh shorts. Marcus collapses. INT. NORTHWEST MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - DAY Marcus wakes. MAYA TORRES, late 30s, stands by the bed. Lena sits beside him. LENA Daddy? Marcus smiles weakly. She remembers his name but nothing of the performances. EXT. NORTHWEST MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - DAY Marcus and Lena walk away under flickering sodium lights. The ruined hat swings in a plastic bag. Distant train rumble fades. FADE OUT.
