A black rectangle zooms in slowly and settles on a stack of other rectangles on a black base, as two more rectangles fly in and stack themselves above it, and a {{color|deeppink|hot pink}} HBO logo rises up from it. As the camera starts rotating, the gold words "{{color|gold|'''SPECIAL PRESENTATION'''}}" zoom out with a shadow effect and plaster themselves on the front of the base, and the camera stops on a slight angle (a la 20th Century Studios). | ||

The camera zooms into the theater, past the box office (a homage to the zooming box office from the 3rd opening) and into a bright light. After the light dims down, the camera starts zooming down a street in a residential neighborhood with cars driving and people walking about, and goes through a bridge superstructure shaped like an "'''H'''", after which it zooms down a rural highway, passing farms and such. After some fog obscures the screen is the camera zoom down a mountain road, flying over a pit, and heading down a "'''B'''" shaped tunnel. The tunnel leads to a desert road surrounded with gorges and cliffs at the other end, and the camera zooms into a truck with an "'''O'''"-shaped cylindrical tank, taking the screen through another transition. The screen ends up zooming through a CGI rendering of the city from the 8th opening, then into a skyscraper-filled downtown. Passing through the buildings with a lens flare effect, the camera travels down a freeway as lights from behind several buildings quickly turn on, followed by more lights ahead of them.
