It seemed to me if the algorithm had been dropped into the capsule, it would have allowed Sator to carry out his plan, but how?
Also, was Neil the gunman at the very beginning of the film in the opera house that saved the Protagonist's life? When did he go back to that point?
The plan was: Sator kills himself, the dead man’s switch aka the FitBit he always wears broadcasts the location of the capsule. The capsule would’ve been buried and sealed by the explosion. The bad guys in the future would’ve received the location of the capsule, they would’ve dug it up, they would use the algorithm to invert the entropy of the world, destroying the past.
Yes, that’s Neil at the opera. The red string on his backpack indicates such. He would likely have inverted shortly before formally meeting young Protagonist in India. That’s also Niel who saved Protagonist again in the end, as indicated by the same red string. That’s always going to be Niel’s fate, he died saving Protagonist. It happened very shortly after the final battle. Neil gives his portion of the algorithm to Protagonist because he won’t be alive much longer to hide it properly.
