LOCKUP Phase 1 - The Arrest
Effects/Expectations Disorientation, humiliation, regression, alienation, fear, trapped, betrayed
Plot Scene starts black and fades up with TV channel surfin noise. At first, you are in a comfortable house. Then your conspirator knocks at the door and comes in acting very paranoid and tells you to hide a briefcase full of money. He warns you to be carefull about some deal your going to make and then leaves.

Then, a little later another person comes over to your house and does a deal with you.

Immediately afterwords, WW III begins as cops storm your house shooting at you and helicopters fly by and bombs go off. The undercover cop get rough and tough with you. Real-life "bad" cop frisks and fastens arms in straight jacket. Real-life "good" cop reassures you this is only procedure and it will all work out O.K.

The narc asks for the hidden money(he'll get it either way). Then the narc asks you who your supplier is. If you tell, the rest of the program will treat you accordingly.

Next you are taken to the police station house where you are fingerprinted and processed for an ID number. Then you are put in a cell with a freaked out crackhead.

Eventually it appears that you fall asleep and the scene fades and then are in a happy(prozaic-like) fantasy land. But as soon as you are comfortable there, you are snapped back to reality in the courtroom of Phase 2.
