loved the most.

John - Waleed Malik (Anas boyfriend)
Mark- Hamza Irfan (Drug dealer)
Michael - Moazzem Zaidi (Works for Mark)

prison inmate)

Anna
Anna has blond disheveled hairs that are
mostly plastered across her wide forehead.
She has soft hazel eyes that enhance her
beauty. She walks so gracefully that it seems
as though she was gliding. Her dimple
sparkles through her rosy cheeks.
Anna is a very trendy, mature, and grown up
woman who loves to dance. She is an extrovert
woman who easily gets along with people and
spends time with them. On weekends she
usually goes to clubs to socialize and enjoy
her weekend. This comely woman when got a job
offer of a pole dancer, there was a slight
notion of happiness passing swiftly through
her as her dream to dance was on the verge of
coming true.
Anna was greatly frightened to carry the
drugs across the borders. She tried to show
placid expression but the calamitous
situation brought an unease on her face. The
anxiety that provoked her inner being had
completely tore her apart when she and her
boyfriend were caught while boarding the

4
drugs. The once joyful Anna was now a person
whose inner soul had completely collapsed.

John
John has a perfectly round face with a fair
complexion and black spiky hairs. His almond-
shaped eyes are center of attraction and
cheeks pitted with acne scars. His
belligerent behavior disturbs others peace
of mind. He plays cleverly with his
girlfriend who got trapped in his plans.
He hides his true desires and motives and has
played exceptionally well throughout the
script. The dodgy young man expertly deals
with the various scenarios and does not let
her girlfriend have an inch of doubt about
him. He is an emotionally stable person and
uses his emotions throughout the play to
betray his girlfriend.

TREATMENT:

5
The story revolves around a couple that
doesnt have much going on for them. The
girl, Ana, earns a living as a professional
pole dancer while her significant other,
John, appears to be jobless.
Act 1:
One typical night while Ana is enjoying and
having a good time around at work, she is
approached by a random person that makes her
an offer she has no choice but to contemplate
over. She is offered a trip abroad, a fully
paid trip to Jamaica, Caribbean. There she
will act as teacher to the newbies at a
recently opened club in the locality. The
idea of a paid for trip leaves her lost in
thoughts of how this is a vacation she
deserves and must by all means go to. It
happens so that John ends up accompanying
Ana. The men behind the offer made to Ana
meet with John. The meeting leaves John sold
on going along, the true reasons behind this
folds out later on.
Plot Twist of Act 1:
John agrees to the job offered to Ana, and
they both look forward to their seemingly
exciting trip to Jamaica
Act 2:
They land in Jamaica at around 8pm and are
left stood-up by the person responsible for
picking them and guiding them around. After
an hours wait they decide to take a cab to
the hotel they were informed about their
bookings of. Although they are now starting
to feel suspicious, their moods lighten as
the taxi pulls in front of a luxurious hotel.
At the reception they are denied any
existence of room reservations under either
of their names, however once they pay out of
their own pockets and are beginning to get
comfortable they hear a knock on the door and
open it to be greeted by their guide. He

6
apologizes making claims of having
miscalculated flight timings and informs the
couple of how the two will be shifted to
another hotel the following day.
As time passes Ana realizes that the club
shes here to offer training at does not
exist. By this time their hosts have made
plenty of excuses regarding delays and they
are now living in a hotel where they are the
only guests. There is only one way in and out
which is guarded by an armed man, the phones
lines dont work, and their luggage has been
taken after being threatened. Theyve also
been informed or reminded (in terms of the
way their captor communicates) how their only
mission will be to carry Cocaine back into
England once they are provided with the
loaded suitcases.
Plot Twist of Act 2:
Both Ana and John are fearful for their lives
and the fate they may suffer for doing this
heinous crime of drug smuggling, into which
they have been forced.
Act 3:
Despite being fearful of getting caught they
decide to accept the commands given to them.
The 8000 pound payment in return for
successful transportation adds to their
willingness. However while the two manage
passing through security checks at two
airports on the way back, their luck takes a
turn for worse and are caught at the third
and last airport. Cross questioning and
interrogation leads to the discovery that
John was responsible for setting up Ana and
had previously too been involved in
smuggling. The two are sentenced to prison
and even though Johns sentence is longer as
compared to Anas, he manages to get an early
release owing to his resourcefulness and
connections with people in places.

Sir, whats the issue? What just happened? Why are we being
treated like this?

(Cunningly)
Ha-ha, you trying to fool the St. Lucia Customs? Hah

(While opening their suitcases)
You white assholes! Well just wait a minute and well show you
what youve been up to

shampoo bottles one by one
Tears start to roll down Anas eyes

CUSTOMS INCHARGE
(While observing the shampoo bottles)
What are these, hah? So many of them

JOHN
(Clever on the eye)
Um, Shampoo? Isnt it? We got them from Trinidad, you know
they are famous there. These ones especially.

CUSTOMS INCHARGE
(Knives the side of the shampoo where the cocaine is hidden)
Ha-ha I like your attitude young boy.

down on the table)

CUSTOMS INCHARGE
(Loudly and angrily)
You see this? Your bloody skin like white powder? You trying
to smuggle this? HA HA HA, You both are going to HELL!

(Crying loudly)
No sir, please dont. Well tell you everything, well

Be careful with what you say and do to us,
(Little pause)
Especially with me! You know who I work for? Christine!
Christine Santner!
 (Ana looks in a state of confusion and dismay.)

ANA
What? Who Chris...Christi whatever? Who the bloody hell is
she?
(The guards and the customs officer exchange looks with each
other)

GUARD 2
(Holds him by his neck)
Hmm. So? Who the bloody hell do you think you are? Nobody is
powerful than the law here.
(Shouts in his ear)
Get that!

ANA
(Still crying, shouts)
Who the Fuck is Christine? Can anyone tell me? ANYONE!

GUARD 1
(Annoyed)
Shut up Girl. Youll find that soon.

JOHN
(Grins)
You heard that right, you dogs! I am a special agent of

Me!

GUARD 2

Shut up! Just bloody shut up! Well see to that!

CUSTOMS OFFICER
(Quietly gets up of his chair, staring John into his eyes)
Take them away, both of them. You both are going to prison?

(Both of them are taken to the prison van.)

ANA
(Trying to strangle her handcuff)
John! Tell me who Christine is?
(Weeping)
You set this all up? All this was a setup?
(Cries loudly)
How could you do this to me?
(John looks at her but doesnt reply.)

ANA
You cant do this to me? Tell me what is this all about? Tell
me? Anyone?
(Looks back towards the guards, hopelessly)

Within the next 20 minutes; they are taken of the Central St

Lucia prison. Ana and John look at each other, knowing this
will be the last time they see each other in a long long time,
if not the last.
NARRATOR
A few days later they receive their court sentences of being
imprisoned to 2.5 years each for drug smuggling.
A few days later in jail:

ANA
(Dull and gloomy)
(Asks one of her prison inmates)
Do you have any idea who Christine Santner is?

INMATE
Umm, yeah? Shes like, like everyone knows her you know? A lot
of people belonging to her are here too.

ANA
(Blank)
I have no idea who she is but you know how I was caught and
all. And I found out that my guy, the person I loved the most,
works for some lady Christine.

INMATE
Ah, so your one of those poor souls. I have been here for like
10 years now and Ive seen quiet of these cases.

ANA
What, what do you mean?

INMATE
Well, you know Christine Santner is the head of the drug
cartel you know. Theres this huge, huge drug empire she
controls and also shes really politically influential.

ANA
(Shocked)
But how does John, like he never even had in me in doubt about
any of this. How did, how did he end up working for her?
(Starts crying)
Oh God, this cant be true.
 INMATE
I dont know, but you know here in the prison you hear all
sorts of stories and this story youre telling me isnt the
first case Ive heard of. We have had stories like these
before.
(Ana looks in utter shock and disbelief)

INMATE
Yeah, like we have heard that Christine has this gang of boys
and girls, well trained, who meet up with other boys and girls
in these European countries, and like bring them here.
(Pauses for a while)
Here in the Caribbean they are forced into like taking drugs
back to their countries.

ANA
(Crying loudly, almost as if she will drain out any moment)

INMATE
This is one easy way for Christine and her gang to earn money
without getting caught you know.

ANA
But like John caught too? So like Christine ends up with her
people too?

INMATE
No no no. You know like I told you she is highly influential
here. She gets her people out with her influence, the police,
the politicians, she has a lot by her side.

ANA
(Dismayed)
So like John, hed be out of all this before I am?
 INMATE
Long before you,
(Gets up and hugs Ana)
Its okay, they can escape here but dont worry honey God is
watching.

ANA
(Weeping helplessly)
I wish he was...
(Quiet silence)

NARRATOR
In the coming few weeks, Ana hears from one of the guards that
John had been set free. Her already poor state of health had
turned into worst. She probably could not cope with the burden
of the tragedy that she had been forced into. A couple of days
later, the guards find Ana in her cell, not moving an inch,
not breathing an millimeter of oxygen. They find out an empty
bottle of tablets lying beside her with a paper note beneath
it. The poor soul had given up and committed suicide.
The note she wrote, read:
