            FADE IN:



            LANDSCAPES



A rusted Chevy El Camino drives against dissolving Louisiana

landscapes - broad, barren, pounded by the rain.
            I/E. EL CAMINO, TRAVELING - DUSK



Occasional oncoming headlights illuminate the driver's face:

Tense, course features, thick beard... He's BUD CARTER, 31.
            AN INTERSTATE SIGN PASSES ON THE RIGHT: "WHISKEY BAY"



Bud pulls onto a dirt road, into a TRAILER PARK and stops.
            INT. DOUBLE-WIDE TRAILER - DUSK



TITLE IN: Denham Springs, Louisiana. 1983.
We're staring at three sacks of sample unmounted EMERALDS,

set on a filthy counter.
                                SOUTHERN MAN'S VOICE O.S.
