          EXTREME CLOSE ON A CELL PHONE

          resting face up on a black surface. A beat of silence           -- is

broken by its abrupt RING... RING... RING... Move in tighter

on the phone's LCD DISPLAY. A number comes up:                  555-3827

RING... RING... RING... A hand enters frame. We follow it to

a pad and pen we now discover to the left of the phone. The

hand picks up the pen, brings it to the pad, on which we find

a list of handwritten numbers. At least fifty. To this series

is now added 555-3827. RING... RING... RING...
          FADE TO BLACK.



          FADE IN:



          EXT. MANHATTAN - LATE NIGHT
