1 EXT. JOLIET PRISON - DAWN - WIDE ESTABLISHING SHOT
as the sun begins to rise. Joliet, an ancient sandstone fortress. The morning sun lends a bright red hue to the walls and parapets. A dog barks o.s. A black 1974 Plymouth Fury, four-door sedan pulls up and parks. The driver cuts the motor -- it dies with a rumble. The motor and metal cool down with a series of pings. The driver hunches down in the front seat.
