                                                   POLICEMAN B (CONT'D)
                                                   POLICEMAN B (CONT'D)

                                     That is a crime that the police
                                     must investigate and solve in order
                                     to maintain public order and
                                     security. Please tell me what you
                                     know about this matter.


                       The father is shocked when he hears Policeman B raise the question.
                       He glances at his wife and responds in a firm  voice.


                                                   THE MAN
                                     I haven't heard any such story. My
                                     daughter doesn't suffer from
                                     anything. Those people must have
                                     been wrong.


                       Policeman B knits his brow upon hearing the man's answer. It  isn't
                       what he was expecting.


                                                   POLICEMAN B
                                     I understand that this matter is
                                     very hard to discuss. Everybody
                                     would say what you did. No one
                                     wants to talk publicly about such
                                     matters.  However, please think
                                     about it and come to the right
                                     decision. This is a serious crime,
                                     and, moreover, your daughter is the
                                     victim. You too should tell the
                                     truth.


                                                   THE
                                     I  already  told you  that it didn't

                                     happen. Why should I hide anything?



                                                   POLICEMAN B
                                                   (MORE)
                                     I fully understand this is a sad
                                     thing that may cause shame to your
                                     family. But consider this.
