AN IMPOSSIBLE EXPANSE OF MARYLAND FARMLAND - DAY The wind rustles the endless field of corn, blows over the freshly mown meadow of soybeans, and magically sways a copse of trees. Its a Fall after-noon. A SUDDEN POUNDING OF GALLOPING HOOVES breaks the peace and... A HORSE and RIDER burst between the rows of corn into the meadow. They are running for their lives. CLOSE ON: The rider is a bride -- a beautiful woman dressed in a disheveled wedding gown, its train tattered and flying like a knights banner out behind her. This is MAGGIE CARPENTER. The horse is frothing and wild-eyed, like the bride, who turns to look behind her in terror. The horses labored breathing mingles with Maggies panicked gasps. We see a WEDDING BOUQUET fly into a ditch as the horse thunders on. Maggie clings to the reins. She looks as though she is running from the devil himself. FADE TO BLACK EXT.
