SCENE 5 (INT_ NIGHT_ SAFE OPERATION FACILITY_ DEPOSITION SQUARE)

XTERS: Tina, Patricia, Robert and his LIB Team Members.

BLURB: An active flow¬_ shot opened up prominently on the three characters sited before the deposition table, this time the sitting arrangement has been noticeably haltered, but technically favorable for better angles and shots interpretation. Robert is at the far end, Patricia and Tina are sited backing Robert as Patricia requested. The two male lawyers are still positioned at Robert’s side; another male lawyer sited adjacent of Tina with a legal pad and a pen- as if doing the job of a transcriptionist_ transcribing the testimony into text we believe. The Sony visual and audio recording device is standing at a corner with a tripod stand. The red indication light is on, so the session is up.

After the tech lady was done with fixing the audio software and arming the ambiance for a great recording, Tina drove right out her words.

TECH LADY
If all parties are ready, we can proceed.
(The characters all nodded as if unanimously planned; in affirmation they all did. Tech lady presented her concise piece of recitation and Tina took over the floor.)

TINA
I am a barrister, so I know how depositions go. But before it gets to the point where my chances to speak becomes less and less(er), I am using this moment and medium to express my dissatisfaction in the measure and method used in getting me here.

PATRICIA
T’ I am sorry that…
(Tina lifted a finger gesticulating that she shushes…Patricia softly calms down and kept quiet, she was done upsetting her friend. She dint want to add more to her already perpetrated mess.)

TINA
And I feel betrayed too, that my friend from several years coming will get me into such without informing me. (Robert cuts in right there before she could utter her next phase of words.)

ROBERT
I must take those blames, it is my fault. So if you must shun out blames, you should please direct them to me. I orchestrated the entire process so I should be punished and not her. You are very important to this gathering, so I wanted you here. And you must know, I did decide to explore the use of this method of extraction to ensure your safety. (Tina inquire quirkily)

TINA
How…? Meaning?
(Robert repositioned himself more firmly and comfortably in his sit, as if to gain momentum to produce a response. When he finally found his rhyme and started speaking- on the screen came:


[b]SCENE 5 Continuation...


SEVERAL HOURS EARLIER (BEFORE EXTRACTION) SAME NIGHT
Post production Transition INSERTS introduction comes in here. Insert of Patricia’s bedside clock reveals 8:11pm, Roberts’s voice went on, and the Transition motion visuals came alive without dialogue audio; interpreting in congruence the utterances of Barr Robert.

ROBERT
I instructed that Patricia not tell you where you were coming, or how you were going to get here. And this is because your friend has narrated few of her ordeals to me, so I was ready to breach and beat intrusion and debase all altercations. I gave specific instruction to make this happen in the manner it did. It is for all our good, and until we fully evaluate and access the factors, and elements of powers that we are dealing with here; caution will remain our watch word.

Transition insert for better interpretation: from the insert of the many clothes, Cut to Patricia on a call- obviously in her matrimonial bedroom, she looks soft as always, her presence portrays psychological weakness, and she looks frightened as she spoke inaudibly to her recipient. At intervals she turns around staring at the door as if she is scared or avoiding someone’s presence.

Shortly after that, insert of the turning door knob came alive, Patricia noticed it right away so she immediately let her phone to the ground. It fell right on the hip of dirty clothes that she was putting together for laundry the next morning. She quickly bent and packed the cloth covering the live phone in them. Robert’s interpretation audio ended promptly for his electronic voice to take over calling out for Patricia’s attention.

ROBERT
So that is what you must do, or you will jeopardize the entire purpose of our element of surprise. Hello, hello are you there, I can’t hear your response. Hello, hello Pat.

(He calls-on in frustration in-there, while Patricia is live out here making her way out of the room with the clothes; possibly headed for her laundry area. She went off out of the room. Godman her husband didn’t notice her play, he went and sat on a velvet wrapped sofa at the sit out extension of the large master bedroom. He stretches to fetch a news paper for reads.)
