FADE IN:
|
INT. CONCOURSE/AIRPORT TERMINAL - BAY
|
CLOSE ON A FACE. A nine year old boy, YOUNG COLE, his eyes wide
|
with wonder. watching something intently. We HEAR the sounds of
|
the P.A. SYSTEM droning Flight Information mingled with the
|
sounds of urgent SHOUTS, running FEET, EXCLAMATIONS.
|
YOUNG COLE'S POV: twenty yards away, a BLONDE MAN is sprawled on
|
the floor, blood oozing from his gaudy Hawaiian shirt.
|
A BRUNETTE in a tight dress, her face obscured from YOUNG COLE'S
|
view, rushes to the injured man, kneels beside him, ministering
|
to his wound.
|
ANGLE ON YOUNG COLE, flanked by his PARENTS, their faces out of
|
view, as they steer him away.
|
FATHER'S VOICE (o.s.)
|
Come on, Son --this is no place for us.
|
YOUNG COLE resists momentarily, mesmerized by the drama.
|
YOUNG COLE'S POV: intermittently visible through a confusion of
|
FIGURES rushing through the foreground, the BLONDE MAN reaching
|
up and touching the cheek of the kneeling BRUNETTE in a gesture
|
of enormous tenderness, a gesture of farewell, while the P.A.
|
SYSTEM continues its monotonous monotone...
|
P.A. SYSTEM
|
Flight 784 for San Francisco is now
|
ready for boarding at inmate number
|
66578, Greely.
|
INT. PRISON DORMITORY/FUTURE - ETERNAL NIGHT
|
PRISON P.A. SYSTEM
|
--number 5429, Garcia -- number 87645, Cole...
|
COLE, late thirties, dark hair, comes awake in a bunk cage, one
|
of many stacked four high along both sides of a long dim
|
corridor. He blinks in the near dark, shaken, disoriented.
|
Then, as he "recovers" from his very vivid dream, WE GET OUR
|
FIRST LOOK AT HIS ENVIRONMENT...A WINDOWLESS UNDERGROUND WORLD OF
|
ETERNAL NIGHT SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE...AN ALMOST COLORLESS
|
"REALITY" OF BLURRED EDGES AND ECHOEY SOUNDS, MUCH MORE
|
"DREAMLIKE" THAN HIS DREAM.
|
Flashlights glare. In the half-light, COLE sees spooky figures,
|
GUARDS, moving among the locked bunk/cages.
|
COLE turns and whispers to the occupant of the next cage, JOSE...
|
COLE
|
Ssssst! Jose, what's going on?
|
JOSE's face is almost lost in shadow. What there is of it is
|
youthful. He's just a scared Puerto Rican kid!
|
JOSE
|
"Volunteers" again.
|
JOSE immediately rolls over and feigns sleep as SCARFACE, a
|
menacing guard with a jagged scar running down his cheek, looms
|
close to COLE's cage and unlocks it.
|
SCARFACE
|
"Volunteer duty".
|
The PRISONERS in the other cages watch silently with narrowed eyes.
