Five armed guards watch over the convicts. We finally PAN ACROSS the rising and falling of picks and shovels, ARRIVING on a wide back with an array of scars. SLOWLY MOVING UP the back, we reveal RAMBO swinging a sledge hammer onto an iron wedge sunk into the white rock quarry. Rambo continues to pound away with deft strokes, finally splitting the rock.He lets his hammer rest at his side and turns to look up at the nearest guard.He nods.The guard nods back and Rambo turns and moves to a water bucket. He waits for a black convict to finish drinking out of a ladle that is attached to a large bucket. CLOSEUP - RAMBO drinking and pouring a ladleful over the back of his neck. VOICE John Rambo? Rambo looks up at a pair of PRISON GUARDS whose faces and bodies are nearly indistinguishable because of the bright sun that backlights them with a hellish glow.
