A drug addict on a cot in a prison cell wipes sweat off his brow and smokes a cigarette. He holds onto the bars over the window and looks out. Dissolve to a tall man dressed all in black being released from prison. A prison guard opens the prison gate fro him and raises a finger at him. The man walks alone through streets in Los Angeles. Shot from above of a room full of heroin addicts. One addict throws his arm across his face, then sits down and rubs his inner arm.
