Scene 1, outside of Grant's Tomb, before dawn, a shaky image as if by hand-held camera.
A Japanese woman is posing with the landmark when suddenly there is the sound of shattering marble, and a plume of dust and rock debris appears from the tomb, a car alarm goes off. The woman runs behind the view of the camera, which briefly loses focus and then returns to the tomb entrance, where there is no longer any motion. The camera approaches the source of the sound, along with several joggers. A gapping hole in the stone structure is revealed. The camera swings (as if its holder has heard a sound, unrecorded by the film), and a brief glimpse of a large figure moving jerkily and swiftly through riverside park is seen briefly, before the recording ends. Zoom out to reveal a large flat screen television showing the still-image of the last shot in the corner of a local news story wondering if the event was a terrorist attack or simple vandalism. A tall, thin man turns the TV off with a remote, spins his chair to pick up a phone on a large ornate desk, in what is revealed to be a well appointed office with views high over a large city.
The man speaks:
“The plan must commence. He's out.”
