1    EXT. SWEDEN - DAY                                               1



A Christmas card vista is spoiled by a black line of

railroad tracks stitched onto the snowy landscape like a

scar pointing north to icy desolation. A phone rings -
2    EXT. CABIN - ESTABLISHING                                   A2



2    INT. CABIN - LAKE SILJAN - DAY                                  2

     An elderly man who lives alone in this rustic cabin -

a retired policeman - regards the phone, both expecting

and dreading the call. He picks up the receiver.
