The episode opens with a shot of Valerie blindfolded and sitting on a stool at the far end of an interrogation room. A harsh light shines on her from the ceiling; her arms are tied behind her back (always a plus), and her ankles are secured to the stool's front legs by plastic ties. Her movements emphasize her bust that is enclosed in a tight fitting blue shirt. The rest of her outfit consists of a short black skirt, white knee-high stockings and black shoes.

At about 1:25 three men (one of them the Meister from Laura on the Cross) file into the room. Valerie tries to guess where the men are placing themselves around her and breathes anxiously. This is the beginning of some thirty minutes of psychological interrogation combined with physical abuse. So, do not expect the harsher type of torture that was presented in Laura on the Cross.

For this viewer this is one of the positive aspects of the clip, particularly by the way Valerie reacts to mental anguish and physical pain and the way her interrogators play with her anxiety. For example, during the first 13 or 15 minutes there is hardly any dialogue between the prisoner and her tormentors; rather, the chief interrogator taunts her by slapping his baton against the palm of his hand, by flicking his fingers against her face, while the other men shuffle their feet as she tries to guess where the sound is coming from. In short, the clip presents the softening-up stage of an interrogation and not the harsher methods employed when the detainee does not produce the information asked for.

After some minutes of this, the chief interrogator becomes more aggressive. He takes a leather purse from one of his assistants and slaps Valerie's thighs. He will periodically use the purse to hit her face, breasts, head, or thighs all during the clip. Once in a while, Valerie will blurt out phrases like "Please, Sir" or "I know nothing."

After 8:42 things get more serious. Valerie's shirt will be slowly unbuttoned by the Chief officer, who takes this opportunity to abuse her ample breasts. She will also be slapped repeatedly on the face, an action that will be repeated until the final scenes of the clip. The interrogator also plays with her skirt, pulling it up to reveal her crotch and her legs will be forced open with a baton.

Eventually, the Chief interrogator roughly pulls her bra so that the cloth digs into her skin and her breasts pop out as Valerie, now without the blindfold looks on helplessly. This is followed by more slapping of the breasts and face, until the inspector focuses on a key that Valerie had hidden in her bra. This is, apparently, the main focus of the interrogation.

There is even something for those lovers of wedgies, like myself. After the inspector tires of playing with Valerie's bra, he grabs her panties and pulls them, wedging them deep into her pussy. To increase her torment, he lifts her by the panties until she is standing up. At this point, the Chief interrogator adds to Valerie's anguish by producing a long skewer that he will use to poke her pussy, thighs, and breasts.

After a while (15:02), Valerie tries to get on the good side of her tormentors by addressing the Chief officer. Although I do not know German, it seems from her expression and her weak attempt at laughter, that she is trying to make things easier on herself. Unfortunately for her, this ploy will not work. The chief interrogator laughs mockingly and slaps her repeatedly.

The rest of the clip is a repetition of the methods already mentioned, except for some kicks to her pussy and some breast piercing. Those of you who like the needles to go into bare flesh will be disappointed, however, because the interrogator covers Valerie's breasts with the bra cups and uses the long needles to pin the cloth to her breasts.

To add to her discomfort and pain he will flick his fingers at the needles and, eventually, push them deep into her breasts. He will finally grab her pussy and pull on it to make her stand. By this time the clip is nearly over and the Chief officer motions for his men to leave the room.

Once they have left (30:30), he fetches a bucket of cold water and douses Valerie with it. After emptying the bucket, he places it over her head to further humiliate her. The clip ends with a shivering panting Valerie alone in the room.

To conclude, I will examine the positive and negative aspects of this clip.

The first item on the plus side is, of course, Valerie (aka Laura). Her acting is very credible and I particularly enjoy how she expresses her anguish both vocally and physically, particularly through her panting and crying. The set is Spartan, as any good interrogation room should be. The men are dressed in appropriate military or police garb which adds to the whole atmosphere. The emphasis on the psychological aspects of her torture is also a plus. I have not seen an interrogation clip that combines both the psychological and physical abuse of a prisoner in quite a while. Nothing beats a GIMP's anguish about what will happen or not happen (the interrogator often toys with Valerie by pretending he will slap her) except, of course, actual physical pain. There is not much I can say on the negative side, since it is basically an issue of my pet peeves. Issues that I could only resolve by becoming a producer and director myself, which is out of the question.
