Opening Sequence Script

A prison warden standing outside of a compound. Fire escape exit door is behind him. The warden looks bored.

Suddenly, a prisoner wearing a jumpsuit bursts through the door and before the warden can turn around fully, the prisoner grabs hold of his head, covers his mouth and breaks his neck swiftly. He then frantically exits the frame.

After a few seconds, Prison warden B enters the frame with a torch.

PRISON WARDEN B
Prisoner escape

Cuts back to the prisoner, who sprints into the woods surrounding the compound and exits the frame. After a few seconds, two men, one of them Prison warden B, in a vehicle enter the frame and get out, holding torches. They move quickly into the woods in pursuit of the escapee.

Cuts back to the prisoner again, who is running through the woods, panting heavily. He stops briefly and looks around wildly before continuing through the woods.


The prisoner, who is still running, trips and falls. After hearing the wardens not far behind him, he knows he will be seen if he continues running, so he quickly scrambles for a hiding spot.

Just after he does this, Prison warden C arrives. He senses he is close to the prisoner, and begins to search the area. He crouches just above the prisoner, who is sweating, and stays there, looking around, coming closer until the silence is broken...


Gary sighs, looks around one more time, and then exits.

The prisoner waits until he can no longer hear footsteps, and then exhales and relaxes. He looks exhausted, and closes his eyes.
