009 VIDEO LIST FOUR
Oct. 18th, 2012 09:01 pm[The feed clicks on, showing B sitting at her desk with a notebook in her hand. Before addressing anyone or even glancing at the camera, she reads from it:]
"Beth Solberg, born Bethany Andrea Tiberman, was a prosecuting attorney from the state of New Jersey best known for her work in a 1996 case against the Lucchese crime family's Jersey Crew. Her tireless work produced evidence that the defendant, the acting capo Tacito Capello, had overseen a large-scale money laundering operation over the last four years. Thanks to Solberg's bulletproof case, Capello was convicted and given thirty-five years without the possibility of parole.
A mere eight days after the conviction Solberg was reported missing by her husband and adult son. A search party was organized and the city combed, but no evidence of the attorney was uncovered until February 1997, when a cyclist on a back road discovered a nude corpse riddled with broken bones. The county medical examiner positively identified the body as Solberg's, ruling the cause of death as a brain hemorrhage due to massive head trauma."
[A beat. Those blue eyes of hers stare right into the camera as she closes the book. She adds only one thing before turning off the feed.]
My name is Beatrix Kiddo.

He turns on the communicator, but it takes him a few seconds to work out how to ask what he wants. He frowns into the camera, his eyes holding the same weird light they had that day in the art room, rubbing his hand nervously over his mouth for a long moment before he leans close and says, in a low voice:] What was it really for?

Date: 2012-10-19 07:45 am (UTC)That was honestly an art project. [This is not a lie. It just so happens that it'll undergo a few more incarnations before it finishes being a project.]

...okay. Sorry. My bad.
