               FADE IN:



               EXT. THE PORT OF GENOA, ITALY - NIGHT



Forklifts RUMBLE. Workers WIPE FRAME. All the bustle and

cacophony of a major seaport.
We FIND ourselves focusing on ONE LARGE CRATE. With the

GRINDING of gears, a crane lifts it off the dock and carries

it onto a ship.
               INT. HOTEL ROOM - SAME TIME



Through night-vision binoculars, CHARLIE CROKER, 28, watches

the mysterious crate. Charlie is young to run his own crew

but he's a born leader.
                                     CHARLIE

                         Lyle?
SWISH PAN TO: LYLE, 21, brilliant and punctilious, fingering

the keyboard of his strap-on supercharged laptop.
                                     LYLE
