1 Witness Protection by Felix Dartmouth 10/13/ /20/ /21/2005 5/3/2006 5/11/06

2 FADE IN: INT. 'S ENTRANCE WAY -- MORNING stumbles into 'S house. She leans back against the wall practically exhausted. Karl is amused. What's the deal? Damn, this girl is a nightmare! What girl? Where is she? She's tied up in the car. You left her alone? Don't worry, I have her pretty well trussed up. Kind of dangerous, isn't it? I just needed a break from the pressure. It's just constant! It's no wonder they didn't want her in county. EXT. CAR -- MOMENTS LATER At the car, is tightly bound with rope and gagged and blindfolded. She is ridiculously tightly bound, and moaning. Karl is working at undoing her leg bindings. I've never seen this before. All the other witnesses we've housed are in standard transport shackles. You don't really understand. She's just relentless. She never gives up. She never gives up? What do you mean?

3 Karl pulls Kobe out of the car. Suddenly, Kobe is being very co-operative, and she practically purrs and rubs against Karl like a cat. (CONT'D) What's the deal? She seems OK to me. Melissa shakes her head. Let's just get her inside under lock and key. INT. 'S ENTRANCE WAY -- MOMENTS LATER Melissa gets control over her prisoner and takes off her ball-gag. Let's go in and have a little talk. Here can you take this prisoner? Melissa shoves Kobe into Karl's arms. 2. Uh, sure. He takes a firm hold on Kobe, and spins her around so he can move her forward. INT. PIANO ROOM -- MOMENTS LATER Kobe is led through the room. She looks around in wonder. Wow, this is nice! Watch her! I'll be back. Sit here. Kobe ignores his instructions and goes and sits in front of the piano. She looks longingly at the music, and then up at Karl. I love the piano, but I'm so tightly bound! Karl becomes a bit impatient, takes Kobe by the hair, impelling her to stand up. I said sit here!

4 He takes Kobe over to her chair, and gives her a firm swat on the butt. She immediately sits down primly on the edge of the chair, and looks up up at him with wide eyes. Karl sits down, and looks over at her. She looks back at him, sizing her up. She struggles with her restraints. Karl doesn't take the bait. There's an awkward silence. Melissa comes back in the room, with a glass of water. Kobe sees it. She stands up. Oh, Water! I'm so thirsty, I've been gagged ever so long. Please may I just have a sip? Melissa rolls her eyes. Kobe is waiting expectantly for a sip of water from her glass. No, I'll just get you a glass. She looks over at Karl. (CONT'D) Do you see? It's starting - this is just a taste. She sets down her glass and leaves to get Kobe's water. So, what's the deal here? This is all so dreadfully unfair. I haven't even charged with a crime. But here I am, a prisoner, in bondage! Most of our witnesses aren't delivered as tightly packaged as you are. Why are you different? Melissa comes back into the room. I'll tell you why she's different. She's tried to skip twice, and slipped out of her cuffs right before she was due to testify in the RICO trial. The judge was furious, and issued a contempt of court citation. Karl looks over at Kobe, who had been caught in a lie. 3.

5 4. Contempt of court is a crime. I thought you said that you hadn't been charged with a crime? Kobe adopts a haughty air. I'm NOT going to testify against my interests. Listen, Karl - you need to be careful with her. You have to keep her in bondage, and under lock and key every second. Hey, Im not some kind of soft touch - I have all the equipment here, and a jail cell. Also, you are authorized to use corporal punishment. Karl smiles. Kobe jumps up. Corporal punishment! You can't whip me! I won't allow it! Melissa grabs Kobe, and takes her hair, and forces her to a kneeling position. Karl takes her hair, as Kobe whines in protest. SHOT: Melissa looks at Karl. Got her? Got her! INT. JAIL CELL -- MOMENTS LATER Kobe is locked in her cell, handcuffed, her throat chained up to her cell bars, and she is ball-gagged. INT. 'S ENTRANCE WAY -- MOMENTS LATER You have your work cut out for you. I really don't think it will be a problem.

6 5. That's what the last deputy said - that was before he turned around, and she was gone. He was written up for it, and nearly fired. Karl opens the door to let Melissa out. I'm sure everything will be just fine. Karl walks through the hallway and turns on the television, and sits down to watch. INT. HALLWAY WITH "SECRET ENTRANCE" -- LATER Karl approaches the hall and opens the secret entrance. He unlocks the cell door, and unchains her from her standing position, and unlocks her ball-gag. Kobe pretends to be sobbing. She puts her head on his chest. He leads her out into the bathroom INT. BATHROOM -- MOMENTS LATER Kobe looks around the bathroom in wonder. Wow, this is really nice! Ready for a bathroom break? Oh, can I please, please take a shower? I'm dying for one. I feel so dirty, locked up in jail! Karl pauses to consider. Well, OK, but you'll have to remain in your chains. Can't I have my handcuffs locked in front? Karl begins to unlock her restraints. No way. You're in protective custody here, and there's a full-bondage order.

7 6. How can I shower in chains? Karl stops unlocking her. Take it or leave it. Kobe pouts. Then, she furtively looks over at the door. I take it. I will wear your restraints. OK, so strip! Freed of her chains, Kobe makes a show of taking off her dress and heels. Karl locks Kobe back up, turns on the shower, and adjusts the temperature. Kobe is all smiles, and looks over at the door again. Kobe gets into the shower, and begins to rinse off. The phone rings, and Karl leaves the room. Kobe listens to see if he's right around the corner. She quietly opens the shower door, and tiptoes to the door, and opens it. EXT. BACKYARD -- MOMENTS LATER Once outside, she quickly looks at the gate, and seeks a way to escape the backyard, despite her nudity and chains. Karl comes out of the door and confronts her. Hey! He grabs her arm, and Kobe twists away, falling backward into the pool. Oh, shit! (CONT'D) Karl watches as Kobe recovers in the shallow end and makes her way to the steps. Once out of the pool, Karl turns Kobe toward him, with a stern and exasperated look. I guess I'm in trouble, right? Corporal trouble.

8 7. INT. DUNGEON -- LATER Karl is cuffing Kobe to the dungeon frame. Despite Kobe's stream of conversation, Karl makes sure she is tightly fastened. Listen, I'll take the caning, or the whipping, or whatever, but please don't report this! I really don't need an escape tag on my file. That could turn me from a witness into a convict overnight. And why shouldn't I report you? Listen, tonight, don't lock me up, you can keep me in your bed. All night. You can even keep me tied up. Do you actually think I would sleep with one of my prisoners? Kobe is hurt, pouting. Don't you want to sleep with me? Karl takes a ball-gag off the rack. (CONT'D) No, don't gag me! I'll tell them you molested me! No! Karl tightly fastens the ball-gag as Kobe protests. OK, so now you're threatening me? I think I'm doing you a favor by keeping you quiet. Karl takes a cane, and gives Kobe a firm whack on the butt, then another. The caning finished, Kobe is left hanging in chains, sobbing into her ball-gag. INT. TV ROOM -- LATER Kobe is wearing lingerie, and is trussed up in a very tight hogtie in front of the couch. Karl is on the couch, and every so often, he pushes and prods Kobe with his feet. Kobe is very irritated with the treatment.

9 8. So, this is just a quiet day at home, watching TV? Yep. Is there anything more boring to watch? Nope. Listen, this hogtie is so restrictive! Can't I just have my handcuffs back? You can lock them behind me. Nope. Quit poking me with your feet! I'm not some kind of footstool! Guess you are now. You're such an asshole - first you push me into a pool, then you cane me, then you hogtie me. Do you treat all of your prisoners this way? Only the pretty ones. Kobe looks up at him. Does that mean you think I'm pretty? Karl tosses a ball-gag on the floor, and it lands right against Kobe's face. (CONT'D) Oh, is this some kind of hint? Karl pulls her up on her knees, between her legs and ballgags her. Now gagged, Kobe gives up her stream of chatter, and Karl settles back satisfied to watch TV. INT. BEDROOM -- LATER Kobe is topless, the ball-gag is around her throat, and her wrists are tied behind her back around the huge bedposts.

10 9. Karl is straightening up around the bedroom. Kobe looks expectantly at the bed, then at Karl. Karl leaves the room, and Kobe puts up a furious effort to escape her restraints. As soon as he returns, she quits and eyes him doefully. Well? Well what? I guess you decided to take me up on my offer? What offer? Kobe is hurt My offer to sleep with you! Would you be totally nude? Of course? Bound up, with rope? If that's what you want. Wearing a black leather lace-up discipline helmet? Well, I don't know. With a huge gag? Karl, that sounds,.. And a double penetrating chastity belt? Chastity belt! What would be the point?

11 10. Exactly! So now you know where you are spending the night. INT. JAIL CELL -- LATER Nude, Handcuffed and ironed, with a ball-gag Kobe struggles as she is dragged into the jail cell for the night. Karl locks the bars closed. Sweet dreams! INT. 'S ENTRANCE WAY -- MORNING Kobe is wearing a new dress, is handcuffed and ironed and all her things are ready to go. Her ball-gag is around her throat. So, are you ready to testify? Well, I still don't wan't to testify, but I sure am glad you changed your mind about last night! Well, I hope I wasn't too hard on you? Oh, no, not at all! Doorbell rings. Enter Melissa. She looks over Karl and Kobe, all chained up and ready to go. Well, Well, what have we here. Looks like you've done another stellar job, Karl! Thanks, I try. All ready for court, young lady? I don't see why I have to be in chains in court! It just seems improper for me to be dragged into the courhouse in chains as a witness. Melissa rolls her eyes. Kobe winks at Karl.

12 11. OK, let's get you locked up in the car. I think I have another one for you next week, Karl. Very good, you know, I'm always ready to help with witness protection! Melissa and Kobe exit, Karl closes the door. FADE OUT
