Mimic Page #25

Synopsis: When a cockroach-spread plague threatens to decimate the child population of New York City, evolutionary biologist Susan Tyler (Mira Sorvino) and her research associates rig up a species of "Judas" bugs and introduce them into the environment, where they will mimic the diseased roaches and infiltrate their grubby habitats. So far so good ... until the bugs keep on evolving and learn to mimic their next prey -- humans.

In the crush of onlookers is one deadpan face- a MIMIC,

hugging the shadows, waiting for its moment!

We PAN 180 degrees to the other side of the platform-

there, briefly glimpsed is ANOTHER, and ANOTHER.

We TILT down to the throng below.

SUSAN:

(barely audible)

They've come up...

The electrified VOICE of the train ANNOUNCER suddenly

FADES UP, telling of departures and delays-

We raise above Susan's head-

TRAIN ANNOUNCER:

The 11:
16 local to Poughkeepsie,

boarding now, Track 32- the 7:20

Connecticut local, making

connections to South Norwalk-

DOWN ANGLE:

-culminating in an OVERHEAD VIEW of the main terminal.

The movement continues. But from here, the people are

dots, their importanec no greater than that of a colony

of ants.

FADE OUT:

LOS ANGELES, JUNE-19-96
