Expand for script.

• Once I get back from the hospital, I throw myself into preparing for Prosecutor Boseman's interview.
• This isn't my first time doing an interview, but I'm looking forward to it so much that I spend a week preparing.
• George Kane: Colvin, how's work on Prosecutor Boseman's interview coming along?

• You: Good to go, Mr. Kane.

• George Kane: Mmm. Oh right, how did it go the other time you went to the hospital for another interview?

• I'm surprised at Mr. Kane's interest, but I update him on the present situation anyway.
• George Kane: The news industry is in a chaotic mess these days. It's good that your article can carry such weight.

• George Kane: There must be many places like the Metropolitan Hospital here in New York.

• You: So... Will we continue to report on them?

• George Kane: Of course.The wider our influence, the more we can do.

• George Kane: Don't disappoint me for tomorrow's interview.

• You: Understood, sir.

• Today is Prosecutor Boseman's interview.
• You: Let me get dressed before leaving.

• The interview is scheduled for 2pm, but I've arrived at Prosecutor Boseman's office at 1:40pm.
• Secretary: Miss Colvin, please wait here for a moment. Prosecutor Boseman is still handling a case.

• You: Don't worry about it, I was early.

• I wait outside the office. 10 minutes later, a few police officers emerge.
• They look grim, I wonder what case they were talking about just now.
• Prosecutor Boseman emerges form the office after the rest file out.

• Diane Boseman: Sorry, I was tied up with work.

• Diane Boseman: So Miss Colvin, we meet again.

• You: Prosecutor Boseman, thank you for accepting my interview.

• Diane Boseman: Not a problem at all, I'm very happy to speak with you.

• You: Are you all set to start today's interview?

• Diane Boseman: Of course, we can begin anytime.

• She beckons for me to follow her into the office.

• Diane Boseman: Please take a seat.

• I'm feeling slightly nervous even though this isn't my first time doing an interview.
• You: Prosecutor Boseman, if you're ready, we'll begin.

• Diane Boseman: Let's start, Miss Colvin.

• I take a deep breath, arrange my thought, and begin asking the questions I've prepared.
• You: Prosecutor Boseman, how did you become a prosecutor?

• You: While this question seems like a generalization, I believe this is what our readers are most interested in.

• Diane Boseman: Mmm, I can imagine. You'll have to thank my parents, for my passion in law.

• Diane Boseman: Both of them were lawyers, and their professional ideals have shaped me from my childhood.

• You: So... Is this why you became a prosecutor?

• Diane Boseman: No, not exactly. I was born in New York, and I used to study at a Catholic school in Brooklyn.

• Diane Boseman: It's a lawless area. The horror and chaos were deeply etched in my childhood memories.

• Diane Boseman: I never went back there when I turned 12.

• Diane Boseman: That is, until I was in law school and assisted my teacher with some cases in Brooklyn.

• You: What happened then?

• Diane Boseman: Nothing's changed, since I was a child.

• Diane Boseman: In fact, things were worse. It's a hotbed of crime.

• You: Did that drive you to become a Prosecutor?

• Diane Boseman: Indeed. The law is meant to punish crime.

• Diane Boseman: I had the good fortune to study law, and it is my duty to arm myself with it to battle the criminals.

• You: Looks like you're staying true to yourself all these years.

• Diane Boseman: Yes. I have never wavered.

• Diane Boseman: Crime rate shot up over the past decade in New York.

• Diane Boseman: We have to work tirelessly, and use the legal arsenal fearlessly to fight crime. It's the only way to win this battle.

• You: I applaud your determination.

• You: But your methods are often deemed extreme by the press. Would you care to comment?

• Diane Boseman: That's a good question.

• Diane Boseman: As a Prosecutor, it is my duty to step up when the safety of civilians is under threat.

• Diane Boseman: Under such circumstances, my priority is to apprehend the criminals, uphold the law, and keep the order in society.

• Diane Boseman: Do you know who is really behind all this crime? The Mafia, yes, but also countless government officials.

• Diane Boseman: If we don't weed them out in one swift move, we'll never hear the end of them.

• Diane Boseman: Extreme times call for extreme measures.

• You: Well then, could you tell me more about the methods?

• Diane Boseman: Hmm, they differ from case to case.

• Diane Boseman: But my principles remain unchanged. I will stamp out crime in New York, tirelessly and fearlessly.

• You: Have you considered the kinds of obstacles and challenges you may face?

• Diane Boseman: Of course, but I am undeterred. I will not bend to any power or violence, no matter what.

• You: Prosecutor Boseman, we rarely see a female prosecutor. Your spirit is indeed--

• Diane Boseman: Miss Colvin, we do not differentiate between male and female prosecutors.

• Diane Boseman: I do not think that my gender has any impact on my career.

• You: (Oh drats, that seemed to be a misstep...)

• Looking at the change in her expression, I cannot help but worry that this has affected her mood.
• Thankfully, her expression seems to be the only thing that's changed. Her disposition is largely unaffected.

• I pick things up, and proceed according to plan. The interview concludes in no time.

• You: Prosecutor Boseman, thank you for your time. I have no more questions on my end.

• Diane Boseman: That is no problem at all. Your interview is important to me.

• Diane Boseman: When I read the article on the Metropolitan Hospital, I was curious about its writer.

• Diane Boseman: It was a rush at the alumni ball the other time, and I didn't get a chance to speak with you as much as I'd like.

• Diane Boseman: I'm honored to have the interview with you today.

• You: No, I'm the lucky one!

• You: By the way...

• Diane Boseman: Oh? How was it?

• You: The patients' living quarters were improved.

• Diane Boseman: Really? That's great.

• Diane Boseman: Looks like you won't need my help after all.

• You: Could the improvements be merely an interim?

• Diane Boseman: Your worries may not be unfounded. But after your exposé, they shouldn't be going back to their old ways for a while.

• You: (Did exposing them really help? But back then...)

• The Chief: Your article brought us a ton of trouble! We're being sued by that blasted hospital!

• You: But it's the truth!

• The Chief: You think you're a hero? Standing up for those idiots in the loony bin?

• The Chief: Just think! Could an asylum survive on government funding alone?

• The Chief: ...Don't worry, it's all been settled.

• The Chief: The intern who wrote the report has been fired. This should satisfy Mr. Blake.

• The Chief: ...Yes, I understand. It's that intern's fault. It won't happen again.

• You: (Metropolitan Hospital... There's more to this than meets the eye. Whatever those changes are, it's still fishy.)

• You: (Am I over-thinking things though? Could they be coincidental?)

• You: (If I let Prosecutor Boseman in to my misgivings, will it create any misunderstandings?)

Let Boseman know your thoughts

• You: Prosecutor Boseman, actually I do have some questions about this hospital.

• Diane Boseman: Oh? I'm all ears.

• I tell Prosecutor Boseman my suspicions.
• Diane Boseman: I understand.

• Diane Boseman: Looks like I can still help you out here. I'll send someone to look into this.

• You: Thank you, Prosecutor Boseman.

• Diane Boseman: Come in.

• Secretary: Prosecutor Boseman, your next visitor has arrived.

• Diane Boseman: Got it, thank you, Annie.

• Diane Boseman: Miss Colvin, I'm sorry that we'll have to end here.

• You: That's alright! We're done with the interview, anyway.

• Diane Boseman: I'll let you know about the hospital once I have news.

• You: Thank you so much, Prosecutor Boseman. Goodbye!

• On my way back to the office, I can't help but think about Prosecutor Boseman's reaction just now.
• Prosecutor Boseman didn't say explicitly if she believed me. So what exactly does she think about this?
• You: (A cautious person wouldn't make a judgment just based on what I said... Was I too rash just now?)

• You: Hmm... Guess I'll just work on finishing the interview for now.

Keep them to yourself

• You: (Forget it, there's no need to tell her about these things.)

• You: Yes, I hope the hospital maintains this minimum level of standard. Or I won't think twice about writing on them again.

• Diane Boseman: Our society sorely needs reporters like you.

• You: Thank you, Prosecutor Boseman.

• Diane Boseman: Come in.

• Secretary: Prosecutor Boseman, your next visitor has arrived.

• Diane Boseman: Got it, thank you, Annie.

• Diane Boseman: Miss Colvin, I'm sorry that we'll have to end here.

• You: That's alright! We're done with the interview, anyway.

• You: I'll get going now. Goodbye, Prosecutor Boseman.

• Diane Boseman: Goodbye.
