Out of BLACK... SHOCK CUT TO: INTLAB"A" LEVELTIMELESS A MAN'S FACE, filling the screen. MARCUS (filter) Stay away from here! We're watching A VIDEO MONITOR. A pre-recorded tape shows a view of what is obviously a pristine-RESEARCH LABORATORY. DR. JOHN MARCUS, in a lab coat, faces THE CAMERA, disheveled and looking like a madman. MARCUS (cont. filter) This lab must remain sealed! INTCONFERENCE ROOMTIMELESS Overhead lamps cast pools of LIGHT down onto A CONFERENCE TABLE, onto THE HANDS of PEOPLE assembled to observe the video. We see NO FACES. But expensive WATCHES, sleeves with high-ranking STRIPES, indicate wealth, power, and a military presence. THE VIDEO: On the wall behind MARCUS, we see SHADOWS darting frantically. We hear VOICES rising in panic. MARCUS (cont. Filter) For God's sake, don't come in! The CAMERA is SWATTED by A HAND that lurches suddenly into the foreground. We only see it for a few video frames, but we might subliminally notice LESIONS on the flesh. The IMAGE SWIRLS wildly. The next clear picture we see... is of the same laboratory...topsy-turvy. THE CAMERA is lying on its side on the floor.
