    FADE IN:



1   OPENING CREDIT SEQUENCE. Images and sounds are surreal,          1

dreamlike, disturbing:
A HAND is trying to dial three simple numbers. Trembling

fingers miss, try again...we hear boop-boop-boop.
                                  911 OPERATOR

                           (filtered)

911 operator, what is your emergency?
The phone rises, gripped tightly. Knuckles white. We're TIGHT,

it's dark, we see no face -- just slack, trembling lips.
Whoever it is, he can't talk. All we hear is breathing, all

we sense is grief and panic and deep shock.
                                  OPERATOR (V.O.)

                           (filtered)

Hello? Can you hear me? Can you

speak?
                                  CLYDE
