Oedipus: Speak now, let the facts be laid clear unto thee and stop the suffering that is facing my empire.
Creon: I will speak unto you, we are commanded that if we need to end the suffering, we must drive out the person who killed King Laius. He should be driven out of this land or else we risk shedding blood.
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
Oedipus: Where do we find the person who committed the offense? Does he still live and breathe in this land? We should find him and let him face the consequences of his actions.
Creon: I and many of the people in this kingdom do not have a clue of the murder’s whereabouts. Some indicate that he left and has never come back. But My King, we can inquire from the blind old prophet, Teiresias. I hope he will have an idea who the culprit is.
Oedipus: Quick now, go bring Teiresias to the palace. I need to deal with the situation now. Go now; there is no time to waste.
Creon: As you say My King.

Teiresias: I salute you, My King. You sent for me.
Oedipus: Yes, news has it that the former King Laius was assassinated by one of the members of this kingdom. The gods wants to punish the people of the land because the culprit is still at large. As king, I would not accept that to happen to my people. By use of your prophecy, tell us who the person is.
Teiresias: My king, there is no need for that. Let us just face the consequences and the wrath of the gods. I am afraid, my King. I will not disclose the information.
Oedipus: I command you to speak or face my fury.
Teiresias: I am afraid My King.
Oedipus: Now!
Teiresias: If you insist, the person who committed the felony presently sits on the king’s throne.
