	TITLES EXPLODE TO WHITE



	SLOW FADE TO:



EXTREME CLOSE-UP of MAXIMILIAN COHEN'S eyes popping open.
	INT. MAX'S APARTMENT -CHINATOWN FLAT � NEW YORK CITY - NIGHT



Max jolts his head from his desk and tries to orient him-self

in the darkness. He has intelligent eyes set in an exhausted,

good-looking face.
Then he notices the blood dripping from his nose. Max wipes

it.
Max's voiceover begins:
				MAX (V.O.)

		Monday, September first.

Six-fifteen.
	INT. BATHROOM - DAWN



A pull-string light flips on. Max examines his bloody nose in

the mirror.
				MAX (V.O.)

		The alchemist awakes.

(Imitating)

"Turn lead into gold, Max,

lead into gold." Today, I find it.
	TIGHT ON
