We are moving through a small airfield full of parked light planes. There are no people around. We move through the cluster of planes towards a hangar on the edge of the field.
INT. HANGAR - DAY
We are still moving through light planes, but now we are inside the hangar. Some of the planes have their engine covers open, parts strewn around. Others are partially covered with tarps or have sections

DISSOLVE TO: 7 ext. truckstop - night 7
Wild fingers of BLUE-WHITE ELECTRIC ARCS dance in a steel canyon formed
by two TRACTOR TRAILERS, parked side by side in the back lot of an all
night truck stop. Then...
The strange lightning forms a circular opening
parking lot. Trust me, he was Army.
He trained at Benning and here with me,
so he knows the territory.
Before he left the service, he was
the best interrogator l had ever seen.
Tom Hardy could get in your head
faster than you could tie your shoes.
-Why did he leave the Army?
-l dont know and l dont care...
...because there is nobody
better in a room.
Sir, if hes not Army, its not official.
Well,

Police believe they were victims
of a drug deal gone bad.
The identity of the victims
has been withheld.
Firemen were summoned to extract a man
from a ventilator duct of a building.
The man became trapped when he entered
the duct in order to rob the premises.
The deficit now stands
at an astounding $ billion.
A reputed crime lord and of his

PARKING LOT - NIGHT
More snow falling. A handful of cars in the lot. A third BODY
in the same red-and-white outfit lies atop the hood of an old
Pontiac. His head is not visible, having smashed through the
windshield. His suit is charred and blackened.
A halo of broken glass outlines him. His black boots hang off the
front bumper. The parking lot is silent.
