     TITLE CARD... BELEM BRAZIL - JULY...



     EXT. BELEM STREETS - NIGHT



A taxi careens down narrow roadways at breakneck speeds.
     INT. TAXI - NIGHT



In the back seat is WHITTLESLEY. Early 40's, the wreck of a once

handsome man. Unshaven.  Sweat stained.  Rail thin.  Scratches on his

arms, a fresh scar on one cheek.  As the taxi roars downhill towards

the harbor, Whittlesley leans over the front seat.  (Italics indicate

Portuguese to be subtitled)
                              WHITTLESLEY

                    Faster!  We won't make it.
                              DRIVER
