David:   (interrupting)   “Missing   meds”

               Captain:   Missing   meds   doesn’t   sound   like   automating   the   clinic.   Would   you   care   to
               elucidate?

               David:   He   thought   that   somebody   was   stealing   Amethocaine,   a   sedative.   That’s   why   he
               needed   to   modify   the   clinic   with   group   action   to   medication   stocks.   Another   question,
               (looking   at   this   watch).

               Interrogator:  You  and  Mukul  were  partners,  right?  However,  Mukul  owned  the  business,  why
               so?
               David:   Clinic   was   sponsored   by   Mukul’s   dad,   I   joined   him   a   year   later,   he   was   already
               established   by   then,   I   never   wanted   any   recognition   so   never   gave   it   a   thought.   Captain
               signals   the   Interrogator   to   meet   him   outside.

               Captain:   Let’s   break   for   a   few   minutes,   I   have   important   work   to   attend   to.

               (They   both   leave   the   area)

               (Entering   the   mirror   room)

               Captain:   Something’s   amiss.


               Captain   to   Polygrapher:   Is   he   lying?

               Polygrapher:   Nope,   all   clear.

               Captain   to   behaviour   expert:   Did   you   see   any   anomaly?

               Behaviour  expert:  He’s  very  confident  and  seems  a  tough  nut  to  crack,  you  need  some  robust
               arguments   to   break   him.

               Captain   to   Interrogator:   What   were   you   doing   in   there,   anyways?   You   utterly   discredited   me.

               Interrogator:  Sorry  Sir,  my  intentions  were  not  so,  however,  I  am  trying  to  play  the  dumb  cop
               to   highlight   you   as   a   sensible   one.   If   you   didn’t   like…...I   can……..

               Captain:   (arrogantly)   with   my   superior   intelligence,   I   will   badger   him    with   some   smart
               questions  belittling  you  at  the  same  time.  Then  I’ll  leave  you  alone  with  him  with  the  hopes
               that   he'll   relax   his   guard   (to   others)   and   be   ready   to   benefit   from   this   straight   away.

               Everyone:   Yes   sir,   sure   sir.

               (Captain   is   ecstatic   at   his   plan.)

               Interrogator:   Thus,   you   expect   me   to   ask   him   dumb   questions?


               Captain:   Affirmative,   add   relevance   to   all   the   cop   movies.

               (Both   enter   the   area   and   captain   immediately   starts   interrogating   David)

               Captain:   You   two   talked   in   the   operation   theatre.   Why   there?   Why   not   your   cabin?
