OVER DARKNESS:
SKYLER’S VOICE. SINGING a lullaby. “Hush Little Baby”
Quiet and sweet. Just like that time back in Ep. 212 when
Walt was listening in on the baby monitor. (Actually, it's
The very same moment we’re hearing now.) Then --
UP ON:
A series of MICROSCOPIC CLOSE-UPS of:
-- surfaces and contours reflecting light to show intricate
Geometric patterns
-- strange textures that shudder, sway or glisten
-- sudden pulsations of MOVEMENT -- flutter-flutter
Weird -- what are these images? We can’t tell. We’re simply
TOO CLOSE to see. But there’s something arresting and alien
And kind of... beautiful about them
The lullaby continues as we ADJUST and PULL BACK a bit. Just
Enough to reveal: the common HOUSEFLY. We’ve been moving
Through a progression of high-definition close ups
(Note: we've already found footage that we like, and are
Hoping we can purchase it as STOCK.)
Now that we know what we’re seeing, these images aren’t
Quite so beautiful. They’re actually creepy and disgusting
The protruding, spongy mouthparts... the pixillated, compound
Eyes... the vein structure of the transparent wings... the
Delicate, hairy tendrils of the antennae...
Monstrous
Why are we looking at this? What does this mean? We’ve no
Idea, but Skyler’s soothing melody accompaniment only
Heightens the now nightmarish quality of our opening
When her brief lullaby ends we simply ROLL CREDITS and begin
A “Breaking Bad” episode unlike any other
