Final Story idea

Retribution

Beginning

The film begins in a psychiatrists office- clearly instituted at a mental unit. The girl across from the psychiatrist – Lucinda – Is looking down at the table, and tapping her fingers on the table. She is silent. Lucinda refuses to speak since the incident of her sisters abduction. She needs a sign language translator so the psychiatrist can understand what she is saying. The psychiatrist takes a sip of her coffee, pushes in a tape, ready to record Lucinda's’ responses. 

‘So Lucinda, at our last session you said you were looking for someone. Now, who exactly is this person? You.. wouldn’t tell me the last time.’ Dr Sullivan begins. Lucinda fails to respond. Dr Sullivan urges her to reply.

‘Lucinda? I looked in your diary. . The pictures, the drawings..’

She lowers her voice.

‘You said you wanted them dead. Why, Lucy?’

Lucinda abruptly stops tapping her fingers on the desk and looks up slowly, and holds the Doctors gaze as she takes another sip of her drink. She sounds breathless. She beings to sign with her fingers.

The translator interprets what Lucinda is saying 'He took her'

Pictures and short clips of two girls as children-one being Lucinda- show up on the screen. She is clearly having flashbacks. You can hear faint child-like laughing in the background. The pictures and videos are shown on a sepia setting. The scene's are fragmented and begin to switch from the young girls playing to the abductor getting in the car. the screen eventually goes funny and switches back to reality.

It cuts back to the girl at the psychiatrist’s office.  She is looking into space. She begins to tap her fingers slowly on the desk once again.  Dr Sullivan notices her anxious behaviour, appears to note it down, and continues to ask Lucinda questions.

‘Took who Lucinda?’

‘My sister.’- Everyone appears shocked and confused as she hasn't spoken in years.

Her tapping on the table gets more aggressive, and faster. Dr Sullivan begins to cough slightly, and appears to be in discomfort. She begins to appear weak and as if she is about to fall asleep. The shot reverses back to Lucinda, who now has a thin smile on her face. She is watching the psychiatrist intently. Dr S begins to cough more, and slumps down in her chair, resting her head on the desk. Shots keep referencing back to the coffee, to suggest it has been spiked/poisoned. Dr S’s body then becomes limp she collapses onto the table. The translator screams and runs out of the room shouting 'HELP, HELP ME! WE NEED HELP'. Lucinda smiles, walks over to doctor S, retrieves her keys from her pockets and walks out of the room.
