Ext. STREET #1. DAY
A man roams through the streets. His hair is disheveled, his beard unshaven. He looks lost.
From the other side of the street, two other men next to a newspaper stand watch the first men attentively. As the man turns around the corner, they abandon their spot and go after him discreetly.

The man continues on his trek, watching the buildings and the people around him. But failing to notice the men following his tracks.
EXT. PUBLIC PARK. DAY
The man walks into the park. His stalkers get closer and the pursue finally realizes he's being followed. He begins walking at a faster step.
EXT. STREET #3. DAY
The man runs from the park and returns to the main street.
His stalkers are right behind him. No longer attempting to hide their presence.
From around a corner, two more stalkers show up and join the chase for the 'lost' man.
STALKER
Police officer! Stop!
The man tries to loose his stalkers by sneaking in a small alley.
EXT. DEAD END STREET. DAY
The man runs desperately toward the end of the street. Only too late he realizes the presence of a wall blocking his escape.
He tries to climb it, but his stalkers grab him and lean him against the wall.

(scared)
Stop! Please stop! I didn't do anything! I'm innocent! I'm...

It was only a dream.
