Read the following scene from The Inheritors.
FRED JORDAN'S cell. Slowly, at the end left unchalked, as for door, she goes in. Her hand goes up as against

length, halts, looks up.) And one window-too high up to see out.
(in the moment she stands there, she is in that cell; she is all the people
who are in those cells. EMIL JOHNSON [who works at the courthouse],
appears from outside.)
MADELINE: (stepping out of the cell door, and around it) Hello, Emil.
EMIL: How are you, Madeline? How do, Mr Morton. (IRA barely nods and does not turn... EMIL turns back
