FADE IN: INTERIOR: Early morning in MANHATTAN DETENTION CENTER. Camera goes slowly down grim, gray corridor. There are sounds of inmates yelling.

CUT TO: SUNSET, another prisoner, pulling T-shirt.

CUT To: STEVE pulling blanket over his head as screen goes dark.

VOICE-OVER (VO)

Ain’t no use putting the blanket over your head, man. You cant cut this out. This is the real deal.
