A black and white shot of the jail cells of Alcatraz Prison is seen as the prison guard, Stanley Ferguson, is making his rounds. A narration by Finn O'Leary discussing the escape plan with Sal DeLuca is heard.

Finn O'Leary: "Hey Sal, we must've been through this fifty times already."

DeLuca:" And we'll go through with it another fifty if that's what it takes."

The shot cuts to Ferguson, walking past cells as the inmates prepare for bed.

DeLuca (narration): "9:30, lights out, guard begins his rounds."

Cut to DeLuca's jail cell, while making a cup of coffee, he walks up to Ferguson and begins a discussion.

DeLuca: "How we doin' tonight, Ferguson? Family good?"

Ferguson: "They're doin' great, Mr. DeLuca. My boy Tommy, he's almost six now."

DeLuca takes a sip from his cup.

DeLuca: "Ain't that swell?"

Cut to Ferguson walking past Finn O'Leary's cell, while Finn is on the toilet reading a newspaper.

Ferguson: "Hey Finn, got that tip for Saturday's race yet?"

Finn O'Leary: "I'm workin' on it, right now."

Cut to Ferguson walking past Billy Handsome's cell, moans of pain begin to emerge from Albert Arlington's cell. Billy then emerges from the darkness of his cell, lighting a cigarette.

Billy Handsome: "You gonna shut him up, or do I gotta do it?"

Ferguson then bangs his police baton off his cell doors in an intimidating manner.

Ferguson: "You know the rules, Handsome. No talking."

Billy Handsome (narration): "9:35, The Weasel launches into his song and dance routine."

Ferguson: "Dammit, Arlington!"

Arlington is lying on the ground, pretending to be in pain.

Albert Arlington: "You gotta get the doc!"
