FADE IN: EXT. MEDIEVAL SPANISH ROAD - MIDNIGHT - FULL MOON A dark specter of a man, cloaked, hooded, JIMENO GARCES, on horseback gallops through the moonlight. He is intent upon his destination. After a few moments, a group of five horse-back riders appear on the road some yards away, standing to block the way. Garces checks his steed when he comes within earshot. Garces throws back his hood: middle-aged, scarred, bearded face; a man who has known pain and war.
