Our first intro is an enormous troll(?) being taken to prison, and all the guards are afraid of him ... when he's put in a cell with Holga Kilgore (Michelle Rodriguez) he tries to assault her and she beats him unconcious with added commentary by her cell-mate Edgin Darvis (Chris Pine). Further introduction is given by Edgin talking us through what led him and Holga to a life of crime and then prison, as he addresses the parole board at the prison. They exit prison when the officer they had hoped for arrives ... although not quite in the manner you expected.
