JERRY:

It's your choice, fellas.

As Jerry continues...

SPACE BETWEEN TWO ROOFTOPS

As Jerry leaps, PASSES directly OVER us.

INT. VILLAGE BROWNSTONE - HALLWAY - NIGHT

Jerry enters by a window at the fire escape. Apartment

202. He checks the seam between the door and casing.

The tip of a toothpick is just visible. Assured, he

unlocks the door. As the toothpick drops, Jerry steps

inside.

INT. APARTMENT 202 - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Stacked with filled-to-bursting file cabinets. On the

walls, a silvery particle board. Jerry locks the door,

balances an empty beer bottle upside down on the door

Satisfied, Jerry enters the file labyrinth. As he moves

we FLASH ON some of the labels, some with not bad cartoon

drawings. "George Bush," "Delta 30," "Blue Flood,"

"Sirhan2."

Jerry turns the corner. "Nazis & Nutrasweet," "Patti

Hearst," and among many more: "MK Ultra" which features

the silhouette of a man holding a handgun & "Council On

Jerry opens the fridge to reveal ten padlocked stainless

steel containers. He removes one labeled: "Tapioca."

INT. APARTMENT 202 - JERRY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Carrying a bowl of tapioca, Jerry enters. More files, a

manual typewriter. On the wall, an American flag

alongside a poster of John Lennon reading: "Assassinated

12/8/80."

He strides to his desk and a...

PUBLISHING MONTAGE BEGINS

Jerry scans a New York Times spread on a drafting table.

He circles headlines, names and dates. Does the same

with the San Francisco Chronicle, Le Monde, Time, the

Economist and Popular Mechanics. He enters raw data on

3x5 cards:
space shuttle launched, base closings, escape

from mental hospital and especially the obituaries.

Specifically:
"Industrialist Ernest Hariman Drowns."
