Treatment for Opening Sequence

A man, who is a schizophrenic, predicted the 9/11 attacks 6 months prior to them. He had drawn the twin towers and two airplanes crashing into the world trade in a hallucinated state, the next morning he is oblivious to his illustrations and tends to agree with the predictions. He then goes to produce a number of conspiracy theories which include the involvement of the government, a secret society, the landowner of the world trade centres and many more. On September 11th the 9/11 attacks commence and the man’s neighbour is present around the falling buildings and he receives a call just before collision and is able to escape, subsequently his neighbour reports him to the police and the man is taken in for questioning during the state of emergency. His flamboyant remarks against powerful people has led him to be intensively interrogated, and gets badly beaten up by officers in a pursuit to gain information, but they fail. All the man could recite was his conspiracies but nothing eased the beatings. 4 months after the attacks, the man is released from questioning and he later finds out that his memory and mind will be forever lost due to the vast amount of pressure that had been applied to him whilst interrogation. Knowing this, he tries to make his final attempts in trying to raise awareness to the public as much as possible, using his own mistreatments as evidence to the governments’ suspicious behaviour. He finally looses his mind and is admitted to an insane ward. End
