For the past four months, Draven
has been in jail, arrested for conspiracy to murder Shelly Webster.
His only significant ally is his idealistic public defender,
James Sandler. Meanwhile, Albrecht is being called to the stand
as a critical – albeit, reluctant – prosecution witness.
As the courtroom is the primary location, we hear testimony from
Albrecht, Draven and, especially, the chief prosecution witness,
Funboy – all illustrated by film clips from past episodes,
including the murder videotape. The prosecution argues that the
fact of Draven’s being alive demonstrates his complicity
in the murder video, plus a stream of circumstantial evidence.
The defense can hardly argue the truth, and is forced to rely
on Draven as a protected witness set up in a government conspiracy.
Ultimately, Draven rejects lying as a defense strategy. Finally,
the shocking verdict comes back – guilty! Our final image
is symbolic: Draven, metaphysically alone in the courtroom, being
embraced by the ghostly form of Shelly Webster. |
