EXT. MOUNTAIN RANGE - HELICOPTER POV - DAY |
|
|
|
We are flying, soaring, wheeling, diving through a range of |
|
magnificent mountains. They are the Colorado Rockies and, |
|
right now, in early spring, it's one of the finest sights on |
|
earth: The lush greenery of the valleys gives way to cliffs of |
|
sheer rock and towering peaks crowned by snow. |
|
|
|
As the CREDITS ROLL, we wheel past a mountain wall and realize |
|
this is the POV from |
|
|
|
|
|
A HELICOPTER |
|
|
|
as it soars up to circle the tallest mountain: The Tower. It |
|
rises thousands of feet from the ground below, so high that its |
|
summit is wreathed in clouds. |

Do you see them yet? |

Patience my love, patience. |

GABE |

|
That's a virtue isn't it? |
|
|
|
JESSIE |
|
(V.O) |
|
Wait, I think I have them |
|
sighted. What's the word, Frank? |
