California, San Francisco, 19XX, 8:00 a.m.

[Two men who look like police officers walk down a concrete hall with prison cells on the left and right. They make their way up to a cell with a prisoner inside and bang on the bars.]

Police Officer 1: Today's the day Snake. Let's get going...

[The prisoner in the cell looks up. He's sitting on a spring mattress wearing an orange jumpsuit with cuffs on his legs and hands. His head is shaved with a snake tattoo around it leading over to his neck. He has an extended ginger collared goatee. He puts his hands up and puts on a fake playful smile.]

Snake: Awww, come on... Can't I stay a bit longer? From what I've heard Alcatraz sucks the big one!

Police Officer 2: Don't be like that. You'll have tons of fun at Alcatraz! Making license plates, doing laundry, getting stabbed in the showers! Just think of all the fun things you can do!

[The first Police Officer elbows his buddy.]

Police Officer 1: Enough talking. Let's go Snake.

[Snake lets out a sigh and stands up. The first Police Officer unlocks the cell and opens the door, he gestures for Snake to start walking with his baton. Snake walks towards the Officers and out of the cell.]

Police Officer 1: Follow us, and don't try anything.

Snake: Mmm...

[The two Police Officers start walking down the hall with Snake walking in between them, the two Officers look straight ahead while keeping an eye on him while Snake keeps his head down.]

Snake: You sure I can't stay any longer?

Police Officer 1: Maybe if you cooperated and told us where your gang was hiding you wouldn't be on your way to Alcatraz in shackles.

Police Officer 2: Yea, maybe something more comfortable... Like a rope!

Snake: Fuck you both. I'd never sell out my gang.

Police Officer 2: How honorable...

Snake: Fuck you!

Police Officer 1: Both of you shut the hell up.

[Snake and the second Officer grumble and quiet down.]

*Muffled Boom*

[Both the Officers and Snake stop walking and turn around. Both the Officers reach for their waist and grab their pistols, they look around aiming their firearms carefully.]

Police Officer 1: What the fuck was that?

Police Officer 2: Sounded like some sort of an explosion!

Police Officer 1: Well- where the fuck did it come from?

???: (Incredibly Muffled) I told you we needed another stick!

???: (Muffled) Fuck yah!

???: (Muffled) Just light the damn thing!

[Both of the Officers look towards their right, at the concrete wall.]

Police Officer 2: Were those... Voices?

Police Officer 1: Was that coming from inside the walls?

???: (Incredibly Muffled) I'm living in your walls!

*BOOM*

[The wall behind the Officers and Snake explodes, pieces of concrete and metal rebar fly everywhere. Snake immediately covers his head and hits the ground.]
