The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
The hearing room, re-establishing the scene: Pablo (we see him from close behind) seated at his desk: before him stand Guy Caillard, to Pablo's right, and Emily Rose, to his left. (Both Guy and Emily have seats behind them, but they're both standing at this point. Behind Guy and Emily the room is packed full of witnesses. In the front row, not far from Emily, sits 'Madame Defarge,' a woman looking like she came straight out of A Tale of Two Cities, but with some 22nd-Century updates. She is knitting something unrecognizable.
At this moment Guy is raising an index finger and speaking out to Pablo.
Guy: Objection, your honor … ur … Pablo.
Guy: How could she know the sound was of a club?
Pablo: Sit down, Guy.
Panel 2
Close-up of Pablo, smiling gently to soften the sting as he admonishes Guy.
Pablo: Let Emily give her side, then you can climb down her throat, okay?
Pablo: Continue, Emily.
Panel 3
Another large flashback panel: an elevated-angle view of the scene Emily describes: Libby is lying supine on the ground, looking battered, bruised and bloody. Kneeling over her is the giant Anton Sherwood – he has one hand on her neck and the other on a bamboo club lying on the ground next to Libby. His back is to a horrified-looking Emily, who is standing about five meters behind him, across one of the smaller koi ponds. If possible show that there are other koi ponds close around.
Caption (Emily): 'Anyway, I ran toward the sound and when I came to the Koi ponds, I saw Libby on the ground and not moving. She was all bloody and I thought she was dead.
Caption: 'Sv Sherwood was kneeling next to her with one hand on Libby's neck and the other on a bamboo club laying next to her.
Panel 4
In the flashback scene, Emily pulls out her gun.
Caption (Emily): 'I thought he was going to strangle her.'
Caption: 'So I drew my gun ...'
Panel 5
In the flashback, Anton takes a shot in his back, looking more surprised than anything.
Caption: '… and shot him in the back.'

Panel 6
Now Anton lays crumpled on the ground, and Libby is sitting up, and screaming at Emily, who we see part of from the back in this frame.
Caption: 'I guess the gun noise brought Libby around. She saw Anton laying dead and the gun in my hand and started screaming at me …
Caption: '… about what the fuck ...'

Panel 7
We're back in the hearing room, focused on Emily in the present, breaking down into sobs. Angle it somehow so we can see Madame Defarge behind her, still knitting but also watching Emily.
Emily: … About what the fuck was I doing and what a stupid bitch I was and … and …
Emily: … a huaauugh-huaugh-hunh-hunh
