The Psychiatrist
SCENE begins with a close shot of Sheila's visage, as she stumbles along the road. The 19-year-old lass appears bewildered. Her face is perspiring.
Her garments are damp and limp, draping over her small stature, and she is gripping a packet tightly against her bosom. She happens upon a shack and, ensuring nobody is nearby with a glance over her shoulder, gently positions the packet between some stones at the rear of the edifice. A WORM'S EYE perspective exhibits her gazing down at it.
Tears begin to trickle down her face. After wiping her tears, she pulls herself together and departs. As she navigates the front of the shack, a gentleman emerges and stops her.
Taken aback, he inquires if she is alright. Fearing being discovered, she flees without uttering a syllable, clearing the shot and leaving the man to ponder on her activities behind his shack. He investigates the back of the shack and, after a moment, he cries out in shock.
Close shot of Sheila, her face expressionless. She is shackled to a chair while a cop stands quietly behind her. A well-garbed man enters the chamber and approaches her.
Placing his hand on her shoulder, he instructs the cop to unshackle her and wait outside. After the cop leaves, the man cautiously releases his hold and settles on a chair facing Sheila. They scrutinize each other before he inquires if she recognizes him.
She remains unresponsive. He introduces himself as Dr. Powell, a court-appointed psychiatrist for her case.
She remains silent. He then asks her if she understands why she is present there. Her silence continues, and he reads from his notebook about her involvement in the incident on June 7, 2017, with her infant.
Sheila averts her gaze to conceal her reaction and mumbles something inaudible. Dr. Powell shifts his chair closer.
He informs her of the attempted homicide charge and, being 19, she will be tried as an adult. Her legal aid is striving to establish it was unintentional abandonment. The defense heavily relies on this session.
The psychiatrist's duties include evaluating her and testifying about her mental condition. His suggestions will offer the legal substantiation her defender is anticipating - evidence that she wasn't mentally stable during the act. He inquires if she understands the distinction between voluntary and involuntary? For the first time, she faces him and says flatly 'Yes, I comprehend the distinction quite well.
' Sensing her defiance, Dr. Powell leans back and grins. 'Involuntary is an unpremeditated act by someone without malice or rage and with no intent to inflict harm.
' He speaks patronizingly. 'It is challenging to establish, particularly in this type of case, as I presume you are aware. But that's our objective today.
so, why don't we initiate by you narrating the incident.
' Sheila turns away. Dr. Powell moistens his lips.
'How did you conceive?' He probes. She remains silent. He rises, subtly adjusting himself.
'Was it one of the boys from your school?' He inquires, glancing at his notes. 'Oh, wait. you don't attend school. You haven't been to school since.
' Sheila interrupts him and informs him that she's homeschooled. Dr. Powell, circling her, asks her to elaborate - how did it feel to be educated by your parents instead of a normal teacher? Did it make you feel secluded from others? Sheila gazes at her feet and informs him she wasn't taught by her parents.
Her father was her tutor. Dr. Powell halts.
He moistens his lips again, attempting to suppress a smirk. 'Was your father a stern educator?' He inquires. Sheila looks up at him.
'My father is my world. ' She responds and commences to weep. Winner AVN Best Erotic Suggestion Movie.
