1 EXT. HUNGARY - BUDAPEST - 1973 - DAY 1
Budapest skyline, looking towards the Parliament building.
From here the world looks serene, peaceful. Then, as we
begin to PULL BACK, we hear a faint whine, increasing in
volume, until it’s the roar of two MiG jet fighters,
cutting across the skyline. The PULL BACK reveals a YOUNG
BOY watching the jets, exclaiming excitedly in Hungarian.
2 EXT. BUDAPEST STREET - DAY 2
LATERALLY TRACKING down a bustling street, as the jets
scream by overhead. Pedestrians look up. All except one man
who continues walking. This is JIM PRIDEAUX.
ACROSS THE STREET: More pedestrians. We’re not sure who
we’re supposed to be looking at - the short stocky man? The
girl in the mini skirt? The man in the checked jacket?
A car driving beside Prideaux accelerates out of the frame.
Across the street the girl in the mini-skirt peels off into
a shop. The stocky man turns and waves to us. But it isn’t
Prideaux he’s greeting but another passerby, who walks
over, shakes hands.
Now we’re left with Prideaux and the Magyar in the checked
shirt, neither paying any attention to each other.
Just as we are wondering if there is any connection, the
two reach a corner and the Magyar, pausing to cross the
road, collides with another passerby. He looks over and
sees Prideaux has caught the moment of slight clumsiness
and gives the smallest of rueful smiles. A tiny moment of
contact between the two. Then both men walk on around the
corner, just two strangers headed in the same direction...
3 EXT. SUBWAY EXIT - DAY 3
Shooting up the steps of the exit to the imposing GALERIA
building on the corner ahead. Prideaux and the Magyar walk
up the steps, still paying no attention to each other, and
head towards...
4 INT. BUDAPEST - GALERIA - DAY 4
