THE HEAD OF SECURITY (SEALED FACE)
Can’t confirm or deny. But I need the tape of your interview with the leader of the opposition. He was excited at that moment and he made things up out of his fevered head. You are not leaving this building with the tape.
A JOURNALIST
Who decided?
THE HEAD OF SECURITY
The entire event is confidential and will remain so. This is how it is determined by the government, at the highest levels. If you leak to the media even a hint of what happened here, you will lose your license as a journalist, You and the heads of the television will enter a trial from which you will come out impoverished and spend time in prison as a prisoner. You must recite only the official version.
THE JOURNALIST
Are you claiming that the prime minister knows about all this circus?
THE HEAD OF SECURITY
he knows nothing He is not “the highest ranks”.
He reaches out to the cameraman and wordlessly asks for the tape. The photographer is embarrassed, looks at the journalist and has no choice but to pull out the cassette and hand it to the head of security.
THE HEAD OF SECURITY
Remember! Not a word of everything that happened here. Stick only to the official version!
