MESSNER:

I thought Heller was a double op?

CUT TO SCENE:

FREEMAN HELLER, 20's, clean cut Cornell grad, class of 1937.

He's on a pistol range, scoring perfect marks.

LOCKE (V.O.)

No. He worked for the O.S.S. before

joining the Bureau in its heyday. He

was the first operative assigned

with infiltrating the mob.

CUT TO SCENE:

Heller, outdistancing the rest of his recruiting class in a

training run, nearly a mile ahead of the next man.

LOCKE:

Full immersion and assimilation,

fake identity, falsified background,

everything that is now standard

operating procedure, Heller

implemented, way back when.

CUT TO SCENE:

Heller oversees every aspect of his transformation, radically

altering his appearance, adding different mannerisms, an

accent, etc...befuddled FBI brass can only look on in awe.

LOCKE:

And as a result, his undercover work

was wildly successful. He eventually

reached the rank of Capo inside the

Carlotta crime family... but through

some internal slip-up, his cover was

compromised and Primo Sparazza was

given the contract to kill him.

CUT TO:

EXT. NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE -- NIGHT (PAST)

A '51 Ford Fairlane, flush with an embankment, bullet

perforated, dead-body draped. A top-coated gunman (presumably

Primo Sparazza) stalks the vehicle's sole survivor, FREEMAN

HELLER; faux mafioso, full-time federal agent.

LOCKE (V.O.)

There wasn't enough evidence to bring

formal charges, so the case never

went to trial.

Heller collapses, the gunman looms over, levels a .45, FIRES.
