THE CHAMBER

The scene then cuts to the bedroom, where a nude Allen has been strapped to the bed.
     The woman on the videotape described earlier was Brenda O'Connor, who had the misfortune of living next door to Lake's Wilseyville cabin. According to police, she and her common-law husband, Lonnie Bond, were running a methamphetamine factory in their small mountain hideaway. Ng is charged with murdering the couple and their infant son, Lonnie Bond, Jr.
     Police found the videotape featuring O'Connor and another woman named Kathy Allen in a plastic container buried near the cabin. It was titled, "Two Women."
     The transcript of the tape begins with Allen, an 18-year-old clerk at a Milpitas supermarket who was apparently lured to the Wilseyville cabin by Lake, who told her that her boyfriend had been shot and needed her. Police believe her boyfriend, a drug dealer named Michael Sean Carroll who had once been Ng's cellmate at Fort Leavenworth military prison in Kansas, had already been murdered.
     According to the transcript, Allen appears on the tape handcuffed to an easy chair. Lake does most of the talking on the tape, although Ng speaks from time to time and occasionally appears on the video.
     Lake tells Allen that if she cooperates, they will let her go in about 30 days. If not, he says, they will shoot her in the head and bury her in the same place they buried her boyfriend, Carroll.
     "While you're here, we'll keep you busy," Lake tells her. "You'll wash for us, you'll clean for us, cook for us, you'll fuck for us. It's not much of a choice unless you've got a death wish... If you don't go along with us, we'll probably take you into the bed, tie you down, rape you, shoot you and bury you."
     Throughout the tape, Lake alternates between threats and feigned compassion, telling Allen that he feels bad about what he is doing to her but it can't be helped because he and Ng are essentially "selfish bastards." He chastises her for beating on the door of her cell, saying she bent one of the hinges on the hidden door. She would get a severe whipping if she did it again, he says.
     After that, he outlines his plan for her to write letters to Carroll's relatives informing them that she and Carroll have moved away and cannot be reached. Finally, he forces her to choose between becoming their sex slave or dying.
     Finally, Allen agrees that she will be "available." Lake and Ng remove her handcuffs and force her to undress.




     The scene then cuts to the bedroom, where a nude Allen has been strapped to the bed. Lake snaps still photographs of her and orders her to pose in various types of lingerie.
     The encounter with O'Connor is more vicious. At first she resists the two men, demanding to know what they did with her baby. Lake replies only, "Your baby is sound asleep, like a rock." She asks why they are doing this to her, and Lake's response is, "Because we hate you." At the end of the tape, in which O'Connor's resistance is finally broken down and she grows faint, Ng unchains the 19-year-old woman and leads her to the the bathroom, where off camera one can hear the sound of the three of them taking a shower together.
