08x08 - Goldfish, Part 2

[bunniefuu]

You got any history with Joan Ferguson?

She's being released back into General.

- I want you to protect her.
- I don't want her anywhere near Reb.

I suppose it gets down to how much Reb wants that top surgery.

I want to know what Joan Ferguson did.

I want to remember.

- Will you help me?
- You're being extradited to the States.

The US are initiating proceedings against you.

Dad, it's me. They want to extradite me.

- (LINE CLICKS, DISCONNECT TONE)
- Dad?

SOFTLY: You must be such a disappointment.

(YELPS)

- (CLANG!)
- (YELLS, PANTS)

- What the f*ck was that?
- I don't know. I lost it.

- Is there any sign of who did this?
- No.

- Did you tell Allie?
- Uh, no, I didn't tell her.

- Boomer.
- Rubes, she's really f*cked up at the moment.

- You know what you've done!
- I don't... I... I can't remember.

You stabbed Bea to death!

Do you remember hot-shotting me,

- you f*cking psychopath?
- No, no, no, no, no!

- (CLEARS THROAT)
- Doubt it.

Been locked up for three days.
They haven't moved any bloody stock.

- Do they always carry on like this?
- Oh, they're just... all going a bit stir-crazy with this lockdown.

Certainly creates a bit of pent-up aggression.

(SHOUTING CONTINUES)

Eventually, that's gotta go somewhere.

WOMAN IN DISTANCE: What're you doin', Top Dog?

f*ckin' do something!

You're f*ckin' useless!

You call yourself Top Dog...

(SHOUTING CONTINUES)

God, I am so over toast and two-minute noodles.

- Hey. Hey, Mr Stewart?

How's Miss Reynolds?

(GATE SLAMS, LOCK BEEPS)

SOFTLY: Oi, why're they talking to us?

Boomer, what if she's in a bad way?

- We should've just fessed up.
- It's too late for that now.

Well, we should at least tell Allie.

And put her in a position where she has to choose between us and the other women? Is that fair to her?

- They're goin' off. Listen to them.
- Do you want to cop an as*ault charge?

No.

No, I'll... I'll say that it was me.

I bashed her.

We'll keep Rubes out of it.

- Boomer, n...
- Yes.

They'll isolate you, Boomer.
They'll force you to spill everything.

How's it gonna look if it gets out now?

We're in Allie's crew; everyone will blame her.

We have to stay strong.

For Allie's sake.

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

The hospital says she's stable, but with a concussion, a punctured lung and broken ribs, they have to keep her in for a few more days.

We can't maintain this lockdown much longer.

Well, we have to until we identify Ann's attacker.

The police have come up with nothing, Vera. Nobody's talking.

Someone will cr*ck eventually.

Maybe they all thought Ann had it coming.

- Are you saying she deserved it?
- Of course not.

But...given all her cutbacks, I mean, are you really surprised this happened?

- (KNOCK ON DOOR)
- Come in.

- Got Novak.
- Thank you.

(SIGHS) You got a name for me yet?

It is inhumane to keep us locked down like this.

- Oh, let's talk about inhumane, shall we?
- Without proper food,

- rec time, showers...
- I will lift the lockdown

- when you give me the GM's attacker.
- I've told you...

- I don't know who it is.
- And even if you did, you wouldn't lag.

I would encourage them to come forward for the benefit of the women.

But I can't do anything if you keep us isolated.

(SIGHS)

OK.

I'll agree to partial release.

No phones. No visitors, no rec time, no showers.

- (SCOFFS)
- You're allowed out to work and eat. That is it.

- SCOFFS: Oh!
- Mr Stewart?

Can you tell the staff to prepare meal service and morning work units, please?

- That's not a compromise.
- It's not meant to be.

Find out who put Ann Reynolds in the hospital.

That's the only way this will end.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(WOMEN CHATTER, COMPLAIN LOUDLY)

- Baked beans. That's it?
- Eat it.

Or pretend it's Ramadan start.
Either way, clear the line.

Oi!

You should be thanking your Top Dog.

- WOMAN: Novak's a f*ckin'...
- WOMAN: Jackshit.

WOMAN: She's a useless f*ckin' Top Dog.

- What'd the Governor want?
- Oh, what d'you think? The GM's basher.

Oh. Wants you to lag?
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

- Yeah, right(!) Good luck.
- Does anyone know if she's all right?

Mr Stewart said she's gonna be fine.

SOFTLY: Uh, hey, Allie,

I was wondering if I can use the phones to call my dad.

D'you reckon they'll let us access them?

No phones, no visitors, no rec time, no showers.

What the sh*t?!

Bloody rats've gnawed on 'em. Just...

- That is just disgusting. Look at this!

GREG, ECHOING: Kath?

Kath?

Kath?

(t*nk PUMP HUMS SOFTLY)

You like fish?

You know, uh, neurologically speaking,

goldfish are quite contentious.

It's their memory.

Some say that it only lasts three seconds, so, every lap of the fish t*nk, it's like they're discovering a brand-new world.

(SCOFFS)

Personally, I think it's a myth. I think the truth is they remember a lot more than they let on.

I don't want to continue these sessions.

I'm afraid that's not an option.

I have to give a report on your mental state at your committal into the m*rder of the real Kath Maxwell.

- I'm Kath Maxwell.
- The court has a different opinion.

Well, I won't talk to you. I... I won't cooperate.

(UNEASY MUSIC)

Can I ask why?

Joan Ferguson was a monster.

Why would I wanna remember her?

She was obviously...

(WHISPERS) pure evil.

(WOMEN, CHILDREN CHATTER AND LAUGH)

I believe that we are all born a blank slate.

None of these kids are inherently good or bad.

Whatever you know about Joan Ferguson,

(VOICE FADES) she wasn't born rotten.

She was as innocent

and pure as any of these children here.

(LAUGHTER, CHATTER ECHOES)

(CRYING ECHOES)

MUFFLED: I came to Wentworth with a mandate to pure recidivism.

That mandate was revoked.

(ECHOING LAUGHTER CONTINUES)

But you, Kath...

You present a unique opportunity.

VOICE FADES FURTHER: Psychiatric nurses still don't truly understand the psychopathic syndrome.

♪

- I know that I could hel...
- Whose baby is that?

What?

That baby.

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

- Whose is it?
- (LOCK BLEEPS, DOOR OPENS)

What's she doing here?

- Get her outta here.
- Mr Stewart...

Get her out of here! Now!

Calm down. I meant no harm by it.

You took a prisoner to the crèche!

To the corridor outside the crèche,

- as part of her therapy.
- (SCOFFS)

MUFFLED: You do not use my child as a therapeutic f*cking tool.

- This isn't about your daughter.
- I don't care.

You've brought a prisoner who's been charged with m*rder to a part of the prison that's completely out of bounds!

Yeah, I...

I was wrong.

I apologise. It... it will not happen again.

(LOCK BLEEPS, CLICKS)

On your feet.

Taking you back to your unit.

- (SHOUTING IN DISTANCE, GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS ON TV)
- Very nice biscuit, Barbara.

- (GENTLE MUSIC STOPS PLAYING)
- In breaking news, police have confirmed that a person of interest is being questioned in connection with the infamous True Path retreat, where nine people were found dead in .

- It's understood the individual...
- Lou.

- Lou, Lou.
- ... whose identity is being withheld by police, was arrested during a raid in the state's northeast early this morning.

True Path, which described itself as an alternative health and lifestyle retreat, was founded by controversial psychiatrist Brian Mendel in .

The clinic received negative publicity over the years

for Mendel's unorthodox techniques.

(LOCK BLEEPS, GATE RATTLES OPEN)

(SHOUTING CONTINUES IN DISTANCE)

SOFTLY: Ferguson.

Stay the f*ck away from my baby.

That baby's yours?

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

(FOOTSTEPS RETREAT)

(GATE RATTLES)

(LATCH CLICKS SOFTLY)

(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)

- The... He what?!
- The crèche corridor.

She was ft away from Grace.

- Why would he do that?
- I was this close to smashing him in the gob.

He was using our baby to jog that bitch's memory.

Oh, OK.

All right. So you're pissed off at him because he was trying to cure Ferguson's amnesia?

N... no...

No. How can you even think that?

- This is about Grace.
- (STAMMERS, SIGHS)

- SOFTLY: OK, I'm... OK.
- SOFTLY: He'll try and justify it. Don't let him.

Vera, I'm so sorry. I... I feel terrible.

But there was never any danger to any of the children.

- (SIGHS)
- I would never put your daughter's safety in jeopardy.

It's not just about our daughter.

- It's about doing what's right.
- OK, Jake.

- It's about having professional standards, mate!
- All right! All right.

He has apologised, and I'm sure Dr Miller won't do it again.

(SCOFFS SOFTLY)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Vera, I, uh... I just got an email from Corrections about one of the prisoners, a Reb Keane.

Yeah, what about them?

It's about his top surgery.

(SHOUTING ECHOES IN DISTANCE, GATE RATTLES OPEN)

(SHOUTING INTENSIFIES)

If you go near my baby again, I'll k*ll you myself.

Your baby? But...

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

- (SHOUTING CONTINUES)
- Keane.

Your request to apply for top surgery has been granted.

It's just an application at this point, but apparently, the General Manager has approved the process.

Oh my G... (GASPS)

CHUCKLES TEARFULLY: Oh my God, that's amazing.

- Sorry.
- CHUCKLES: It's all right.

OK.

So you just gotta get a tick from Dr Miller

- to proceed to the next stage.
- Wait, what?

We need his signature on the application.

So I'll set up a session for you after morning work unit.

- Oh, baby, that is so awesome.
- It's bullshit.

Are you kidding me? This is everything. This is...

This is what we wanted. This...

- It's gonna happen.
- I'm not seeing that psych, Lou.

- Like, I'm... not having him judge me.
- It's not gonna be like that.

- It's gonna be...
- f*ckin' bullshit, Lou!

- Yes, it will! Of course it will.
- Hey, come on.

I think it's just... seeing the news report this morning.

I think it's upset you, and... and...

SIGHS: f*ck, and fair enough.

No. No.

It... Wh... what's upset me is having to jump through hoops to get some therapist's approval.

OK, I don't need I don't need a shrink to tell me...

- Yeah, I know. I know.
- ... what I can and what I can't do with my body.

I know that.

I know that.

That is just how these f*ckin' institutions work, and we're stuck here.

We have to play their game.

Who do you think they've arrested?

SIGHS: Oh, who cares? I dunno.

It doesn't matter, 'cos the only thing that matters is that no one's connected us to that place.

And we don't talk about it any more.

(SIGHS)

- I've got Keane.
- Thanks, Miss Miles.

Please, have a seat, Reb.

- (CLEARS THROAT)
- So, you've applied for chest surgery as part of your transition.

The government requires me to sign off on it.

They just wanna make sure that your decision is a rational one, yeah?

Mate, I'm trans, not psychotic.

Yeah, of course. It's just...

It's standard criteria that... that I'm required to cover, OK?

So, how old were you when you started to identify as male?

Uh, or .

And did you start to dress like a boy at that age as well?

Uh, no... Um, my mum wouldn't let me, so...

- When did you start testosterone?
- (AMPLIFIED SCRIBBLING)

Uh... about months ago, I think.

I... I was just in denial before that.

Let my mum control me and stuff.

Control you? How?

ECHOES: Where's your penis? Don't have one, do you?

She, um... she sent me to a clinic.

Right. And were you offered a diagnosis?

Yeah. (CHUCKLES SHORTLY) Um, body dysmorphia.

ECHOES: Why do you hate your body?

How do you feel about your body?

It's a beautiful body.
You should love your body.

- Shouldn't she?
- WOMEN, ECHOING: Love your body, Rebecca.

It's godly.

- You were made in God's image.
- You were born a girl.

Have you ever had an eating disorder...

- You have breasts.
- ... suffered from depression...

- You have a womb.
- ... anxiety or substance abuse?

Your hips were built for childbearing.

Have you ever contemplated su1c1de?

- Don't you want to be a mother?
- Reb, please, just talk to me.

Well, I don't know what you want me to say.

Admit to me.

WHISPERS: You're confused.

- f*ck it.
- Hey, Reb. Reb.

- Reb.
- Get your f*ckin' hands off me!

You sick f*ck!

(BROODING MUSIC)

(WOMEN SHOUT IN DISTANCE)

You're lucky Miller's a softcock.

If it was up to me, I'd slot you.

SOFTLY: What happened with Dr Miller?

d*ck girl lost her sh*t.

Hey.

Hey, what's goin' on?

- Baby?
- Reb, can I do anything for you?

Yeah, can you just... Can you close the f*ckin' door?!

Hey. Come on.

Hey, you're safe. I'm here.

No one's gonna hurt you.

- Just tell me what happened!
- f*ck!

f*ck! f*ck!

(SNIFFLES) I'm not going back to him, Lou.

- I am not.
- OK!

- Can you tell me what happened?
- It was just like I was back there!

You know, he was so, so like him, and it was... it was the same questions. He was goin' on about the f*ckin' body dysmorphia bullshit, and I...

I just hit him.

I don't know what happened. I just... I lashed out and I hit him, and, like, that's it now. You know?

Like, I have f*cked it.

- No, you haven't...
- No, I have f*cked it, Lou!

- All right. OK.
- He thinks I'm a nutcase, and he's never, ever gonna sign off on my surgery now.

- Do you understand?
- Hey, it's gonna be all right.

- No, f*ck off.
- YELLS: OK! Hey.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

I can fix this.

I can fix this for you, OK?

- I just don't think you can fix this one.
- Hey, come on.

Do you trust me?

Yep.

(LOW, INTENSE MUSIC)

WOMAN OVER PA: Attention compound. Attention compound.

All women to report to assigned work duty.

(SHOUTING IN DISTANCE, LOCK BLEEPS, DOOR OPENS)

Dr Miller, I'm Lou Kelly.

- Yes, I know who you are.
- Mm-hm.

SOFTLY: Do you know how long Reb's waited for this surgery?

What he's had to go through to get here?

You can't deny him this.

That's not my intention.

OK, good. So you will sign off on it.

Hey.

WHISPERS: He just want to take ownership of his own body.

Yes. And I can't approve the procedure until I'm satisfied

- that Reb is psychologically in good health.
- (SCOFFS)

f*ck.

It's just meant to be a formality, Miller.

Can you just tick the f*cking box?!

Kelly!

Back to your mopping.

- WOMAN: What made you choose this provider?
- (RINGING TONE)

- MAN ON PHONE: Hello?
- Oh.

Hi, Gavin.

It's, uh, Susan calling, from Maynard Market Research.

Susan.

Yeah, nah. No, I just been, you know, busy doin'...

A bit. A bit.

(PHONE CONVERSATIONS CONTINUE)

- (SIGHS) Well?
- I haven't heard anything.

Are you losing their respect?

The women always look up to the Top Dog when things get bad.

- It's only gonna get worse for you, Allie.
- Tell me something I don't know.

SOFTLY: Whatever you have to do to convince Ann Reynold's attacker to come forward,

I suggest you do it.

(SCOFFS SOFTLY)

- (LOCK BEEPS, DOOR OPENS)
- BOOMER: So, like, what's most important to you? Is it looks, boob size or personality?

CHUCKLES: This isn't about a laundry detergent, is it?

(GIGGLES)

Um, I'd say...

- honesty.
- No. No, no.

- That's not one of the options.
- No, I've been hurt too many times.

Honesty is my number one, non-negotiable.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

Susan?

- Hey, I...
- No, I... I'm here.

What's up?

I... I haven't... been totally honest with ya.

WARILY: All right.

Truth is, um, I'm... I'm in prison.

Uh, this whole call centre is part of its industries.

CLEARLY: Pro-polis.

- You can buy your chocolate...
- How long have you been with this provider for?

... from a supermarket, a local grocer, market...

Does that turn you off?

- Not really.
- Hey?

- You serious?
- Yeah.

- CHUCKLES: Oh!
- But... But everything else you said...

- Ye... Yeah, yeah.
- ... is that true? Yes?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm totally hot.

- (CHUCKLES) Cool.

Hey, I... I've always wanted a hot prison-bitch pen pal. (LAUGHS)

(WOMEN SHOUT IN DISTANCE)

Jesus.

Oh. Sorry.

(INHALES, EXHALES)

I'm sorry what happened with Miller. I...

Well, I thought he was a good guy. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

He, um...

He genuinely helped me.

Look, um...

It probably wasn't all his fault.

Hey, did you see that, um... that report on the news this morning?

About the True Paths retreat?

- Where all those people d*ed?
- Mm.

Yeah, that was the clinic I told you about.

Where I met Lou.

It was run by this... weird dude.

He called himself a doctor, but f*ck knows what he was a doctor of.

He... he tried to get inside people's heads.

You know? Like, made me think that I was...

I was broken and that I needed fixing.

(SIGHS SOFTLY)

Is it true there was a mass su1c1de?

(UNEASY MUSIC)

It's from that rat bait that you got for me.

- I can't.
- (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Yeah, you can.

- It will k*ll him.
- Yeah, well, maybe.

Or it might just make him really f*ckin' sick.

Either way, we get a new shrink.

Look, (SIGHS) you're a psychopath.

Just a little heads-up.

I'd think twice about seeing Dr Miller.

He k*lled another prisoner in here.

Liz Birdsworth.

Yeah. Might not have been with his own hands, but he wrongly medicated her, which drove her crazy and caused her to have a massive stroke.

(SHOUTING ECHOES IN DISTANCE)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)

I've just heard from Miss Miles that you're refusing to see Dr Miller.

FAINTLY: Yeah.

Well, the sessions are compulsory, Joan. You know that.

You know, I would've thought seeing Miller would suit this ridiculous charade of yours.

Why won't you see him?

SOFTLY: I heard some unsettling news.

Regarding a prisoner wh... whose death Dr Miller was responsible for.

All right.

Which prisoner?

Liz Birdsville.

What the hell are you playing at?

- It's called running interference.
- It is called being a dickhead.

You don't get it, Vera.

- (SCOFFS)
- You are playing with fire.

I'm trying to protect our future. Grace's future.

We can't let Miller treat her.

- We can't let Ferguson get away with this.
- Yes, we can.

If it gets us off the hook, we can, Vera. We have to.

(WOMEN SHOUT IN DISTANCE)
