In this short scene, we are introduced to the protagonist, a young man who has just been released from prison. He is a "deserving" ex-con who has been "outed" by his superiors. The protagonist is shocked to learn that his former superiors have known about his past and that he is being punished for it. He asks the protagonist if he has done anything wrong, and the protagonist replies that he has not. He tells the protagonist that he will be punished if he does not comply with the orders of his superior. When the protagonist asks him what he should do, the protagonist tells him that he should go to his boss and tell him what has happened. He then tells him to go to the police station and report the situation to his supervisor, who will then decide whether or not to punish the protagonist for his conduct.
