05x12 - Hell Bent

[bunniefuu]

Hate to be the one to break it to you there, Vera, but you and your Jakey, it's fiction.

(SOB5)

IMAN: He was obsessed with you.

He even had a shrine to you all over the wall.

FRANKY: Iman k*lled Pennisi.

I was this close to walking out of here free.

We're getting out in that delivery.

That's what matters now.

Do you recognise this?

It's obvious someone colluded here, Liz.

There was collusion. It was between you and Don.

You don't control me.

Remember Jesper?

That old soak was Witness X.

Ya lag and ya lag! No, no, no!

You're just a f*ckin' piece of sh*t!

I f*cked up! (GROANS INCOHERENTLY)

(ENGINE STARTS)

(SPLUTTERS)

I wanna deal with you myself, in my own unique way.

It's your day in court, Freak.

(WHISPERS) Swift as the wind. Quiet as a...

Swift as the wind.

(MURMURS INCOHERENTLY)

It's time to leave. It's time to leave. Time...

Well, you've looked worse.

I reckon you're ready to head back into General.

I want to be moved into Protection immediately.

I don't think so.

I am a prisoner at risk. I demand to...

CHANNING: Joan, you signed a request to go into General and absolved me and this prison of any responsibility.

Officer Stewart, I would like to make a phone call.

Find the doc. I want her in H Block by lunchtime.

Oh, and don't bother going to the board.

They think you're barking mad.

Are they aware that you're still recruiting prostitutes?

Remember, I know all about your little sideline and I will tell them everything.

Better be quick, Joan.

I can hear the inmates sharpening their shivs.

(DYNAMIC MUSIC)

(EXHALES)

P.A.: Attention, compound. Attention, compound.

All women to report to assigned work duties.

(TOOLS WHIRR AND BANG) (WOMEN CHATTER)

Hey, there'|| be about five hours before the evening count, and that's when they'll raise the alarm.

Yeah, that'|| be plenty of time to get clear of the city.

BOOMER: No, hold up! It's not dry yet.

Yeah, yeah, you can grind that.

Grind down that way.

If we do get out today, there's something I need to do.

You're going to |man's.

She said Pennisi had photos of me but they're not in the police report.

If she took them, that'|| link her to the crime scene.

Well, what if you don't find anything?

I'll never find them if I don't look.

PRISONER: No worries. Hey, can you pass me that?

(DOOR LOCK BLEEPS) (INDISTINCT P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT)

Oh, f*ck! Get me out of here!

I'm not a miracle worker. Where's Nurse Radcliffe?

(SOFTLY) I mean it. You find a way.

I'm late for a meeting.

VERA: This is insanity. Ferguson should be in Protection.

The Protection Unit is full. Right, keep her in medical.

You can't send her...

Don't tell me how to run my prison, Ms Bennett.

She wanted to go into H Block. Yes, before she was lynched.

Do your job properly and she'll be fine.

I've already saved her once. What do you want, a medal?

If you do this, I'll have to make a full report to the board about your decision.

Go for your life.

Why's Stewart still here?

Well, I don't get to make decisions anymore.

Trust me, I want him gone as much as you do.

You OK?

(SIGHS)

You know it was Ferguson pulling his strings the whole time.

Jesus.

And you still couldn't let her hang.

And I couldn't let her burn.

(INDISTINCT P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT)

(SOBBING)

Alright.

Liz?

I'm OK.

Hey, what's goin' on?

Oh, darlin'!

Oh, God. (MOANS)

Vera.

I, um...

I, uh... I, uh...

I just wanted to say thank you.

Why did you do it?

Whatever happens, your humanity always wins out.

Is that it?

If I go to General, your good deed will have been in vain.

There's nothing I can do.

Well, you could speak to the board on my behalf.

Get me moved to Protection. That would take days.

Channing's moving you to H Block this afternoon.

You know what will happen to me there.

It's not my decision.

I am powerless now.

You did too good a job on me.

I can't eat. I can't sleep.

I feel like I'm losing my f*cking mind.

You need to put yourself into Protection.

You've gotta get away from her. She's crazy.

Love, I can't go back there.

Last time I wanted to open a vein.

Jesus, Liz, after everything that's happened to you, you go and lag to the cops.

Yeah, I wanted to help Helen's kids.

Give 'em some closure.

And I wanted to get out of here and get on with my life.

You can understand that, can't you, love?

Yeah. (LIZ WHIMPERS)

God, the whole thing was a set-up.

She f*cking played me! Hey.

f*ck! f*ck.

Come on. (WHIMPERS)

Can you protect me, Franky, please?

Because, Sonia, she won't come after me if you look after me.

I'm safe with you. Hey.

If you look after me, please. You just need to calm down, OK?

She said... she said she was gonna k*ll me.

ALLIE: Are you insane?

We can't cancel our plans now.

I'm postponing.

Why, because Liz is a f*ckin' basket case?

No, because I can't leave her like this, OK?

I need to figure out a solution.

Yeah, but today is our only sh*t.

There'|| be other shipments, maybe as early as next week.

They're gonna find those boxes.

They'll figure out what we're up to and then they're gonna shut this place down.

I can't abandon her.

So everything we've done, all this planning, it's for nothing?

No, it'll happen, OK? We will get out of here.

Just not today. It's f*cked.

BOOMER: Just concentrate, would ya?

Come on, you slackers.

Get your arse into gear! Move!

FRAN KY: Hey, Sonia.

I'd like to offer you some advice.

I'd prefer it if you got on with the job.

FRANKY: Stay away from Liz. Excuse me?

Well, actually she has been a bit erratic lately.

Is she alright? She told me everything.

Now if you wanna get to her, you're gonna have to come through me.

And if you try it, I will snap you like a twig.

OK?

(KEYS JANGLE)

CHANNING: Must be your lucky day.

Proctor, you're going back to H Block.

Already? CHANNING: Mm.

The women want their top dog back.

Just so you know, Joan Ferguson will be back this afternoon.

If I was you, I'd get in first.

Well, there's nothing more dangerous than a cornered animal.

Might as well fill out Proctor's death certificate now.

If Ferguson comes back, she's dead meat.

Shut up, will ya? Hey, don't take it out on me.

Blame Vera for saving the bitch.

The sooner Ferguson's out of here, the better.

Well, her committal's next week.

When the trial's done, she'll be shipped interstate.

If it ever happens.

What do you mean?

Look at that Jesper guy.

She's got somebody out there doing her dirty work.

(UNEASY MUSIC)

May 10.

OK.

f*ck.

Oh, sh*t.

(DOOR LOCK BLEEPS)

How long have you been working for Ferguson?

What?

And don't bullshit, OK? Vera told me.

(JAKE SCOFFS) No, no, no, you sit back down.

Look at the screen.

Look at him.

Recognise him?

Isn't that, uh, Ferguson's witness?

Look at him.

I checked the time of his m*rder, then I checked the rosters - you were working.

Except 40 minutes before Nils Jesper d*ed, you left the prison.

Hour later, you came back.

Are you mental?

So I took a f*cking lunch break.

I had nothing to do with this. Bullshit.

Oh, f*ck this. Get off. WILL: f*ck you.

He was sh*t multiple times, Jake.

He wasn't dead.

That bastard was still breathing when he was b*rned alive.

What the f*ck did she have over you, eh?

Get off me. WILL: Just shut up.

You k*lled a man in cold blood.

You b*rned him alive, for Ferguson.

Did it feel powerful, Jake? Get a kick out of it?

Did you get a f*ckin' kick out of it? Hey?

(SOBS) Oh, God!

(CONTINUES SOBBING)

Jesus Christ.

I don't know what to do. Please tell me what to do.

Will... will you tell the cops?

If I do, would you admit it?

(CRIES)

WILL: You f*cking coward.

(DOOR LOCK BLEEPS)

Your blood pressure's still a little high.

Well, that's not surprising, considering I have a death sentence hanging over me.

I'll get the doctor. WILL: Change your clothes.

S'pose you're here to take me back.

Channing can do his own dirty work.

You wouldn't want that on your conscience, would you?

Might tarnish your halo.

That hero complex just keeps on getting in the way, doesn't it?

See, I knew you were f*cked up.

But what you've done to Vera, Jake, to Bea...

If I'm such a monster, why didn't you stop me when you had the chance?

You know, the one constant in this prison.

Your impotence.

I mean, your wife d*ed within these walls and what did you do?

Nothing.

No, worse.

You forgave her k*ller.

They're gonna k*ll you up there.

I don't doubt it.

Those women are capable of...

...doing what you can't.

(SCOFFS)

(DOOR SLAMS) (LOCK CLICKS)

PRISONER: Can you give me a hand with this?

On two. Oh, yeah, no worries.

Come on. Yep. Yep.

(PRISONER CONTINUES SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

(ALARM BLARES IN DISTANCE) (THUDDING)

f*ck!

Hey! Get out of there.

Put that down. Hey?

I just needed mulch.

New deliveries come to us first.

Righto, keep your hair on. Hey, Liz.

Hey.

Um, whatever you said to Franky, you need to take it back.

She's got some serious sh*t going on.

I need her help, love.

Yeah, and she needs to get outta here or she's f*cked.

What do you mean? She's got plans.

Today.

And now she wants to ditch those plans because of you.

You... You don't mean...

She can't escape. That's bloody insane.

If she doesn't clear her name, she's gonna die in here, serving two life sentences for sh*t she didn't do.

Is that what you want for her?

(PRISONERS CHEER)

PRISONERS: We did it! We did it, b*tches! We did it!

That's the first shipment packed and ready to go.

Nailed it.

Congratulations, everyone. Such great teamwork.

I'm very, very proud of you all.

(PRISONERS CHANT) Sonia! Sonia! Sonia! Sonia! Sonia!

SONIA: Whoo! (GIGGLES) Sonia! Sonia! Sonia!

Sonia! Sonia! Sonia! Sonia! Sonia!

Sonia! Sonia! Sonia! Sonia! Sonia!

Do the right thing. Sonia! Sonia! Sonia! Sonia!

Sonia! Sonia! Sonia! Sonia! Sonia!

(DOOR LOCK BLEEPS) (SIGHS)

I know you hate me.

I've done some, uh, some pretty messed-up sh*t and...| am so, so sorry.

I swear I do love you.

Please tell me how I can fix this.

Vera, you're...

...you're the only good thing in my life right now.

I am not in your life and I never will be.

You are the single biggest mistake I have ever made.

You are not a man, you are a puppet with Ferguson's hand so far up your arse you will never be free of her.

You have no backbone, no morals, no conscience whatsoever.

And the thought of sharing a bed makes me physically sick.

You wanna know how to fix this?

Stop your self-pitying bullshit, find another job and stay the f*ck away from me.

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

WILL: I f*cked up.

I saved her so she'd get justice.

And look what she's done to Bea, Vera, Jake.

What happened to Stewart?

She used him like she used everyone else.

It's all my fault, Kaz.

And now I've made her your problem.

f*ck, I tried to save her too. Maybe we were both wrong.

While she's still breathing, she is never gonna stop.

To get justice... sometimes you need to cross a line.

P.A.: Attention, compound. Attention, compound.

Phones are now available for use.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Oh, Franky. Hey.

Hey. You know what I was saying before?

I just got a bit panicky, love, and carried away.

But I'm OK now.

I mean, Sonia's all talk, and I have not been sleeping well.

And I actually reckon everything just, you know, came on top of me at once.

Liz, she threatened you. It's not gonna go away.

Yeah, I know.

And that's why, just to be sure, I've decided to tell Ms Bennett and I'm gonna put myself into Protection.

But you hate it there.

Yeah, but I'll be better prepared this time.

And it's not forever, love. I've only got a few years left.

That is gonna fly by. Liz.

If you need me to look out for you, I will.

Honestly, I will be fine.

I'm tougher than I look.

You sure? LIZ: Mm.

And I'm sorry I got you so worried, love.

Hey, Liz? LIZ: Yeah?

Take this. It's kinda been my lucky charm.

It's given me strength.

Maybe a little bit of courage. (LIZ SOBS)

It's beautiful. Thank you.

Bloody softie. You're making me cry.

Come here, you old bag. Oh, God.

It's only a matter of time before she comes after us.

What? She's finished.

No, she's not, she's like a f*cking cockroach.

The second she's back in here, someone's gonna take her out.

I am top dog. It's my job to protect the women.

No, Kaz, it's not.

You put the word out, there will be a queue halfway down the f*cking corridor.

She's smart. She screwed the governor.

f*cked over Mr Stewart. She can turn people like that.

And I need to make sure the job gets done.

I need for you to spread the word.

When Ferguson gets back, no-one touches her except me.

Kaz, this is f*cking insane.

Stay away from Ferguson. Please.

This is what she deserves. This is what Bea deserves.

No, Bea wouldn't want you putting yourself in danger.

And neither do I.

(WHISPERS AGITATEDLY) It's time to leave. It's time to leave.

(CONTINUES INCOHERENTLY)

(DOOR OPENS) Come on, back to General.

(SOFTLY) k*ll or be k*lled. LINDA: What?

Wasn't talking to you.

JOAN: I'd like to make a formal request.

I want an officer stationed outside my cell 24/7.

Denied.

Get her out of here.

(DOOR LOCK BLEEPS)

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

If we did leave today, how do we get through those gates?

Don't worry, I taped them up.

What, after I told you the plan was off?

I thought you might change your mind.

Get changed. We're leaving.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Sierra 16, we need assistance in J Block showers.

Roger that.

(DOOR LOCK BLEEPS)

(PRISONERS LAUGH)

Like, they looked awesome. I know.

Of course, I couldn't have done any of this without Susan.

Oh. She is my linchpin.

Yeah, hear that, b*tches?

I'm a linch... Sorry, what?

Linchpin. I'm a linchpin.

Yes. Now fetch me my tea.

Yeah.

Take mine.

Um, you, uh... have you seen Franky or Allie?

Yeah, I think Franky's studying for her, uh, committal hearing, and Allie has a medical appointment.

Oh, well, whatever.

Hey, what's up with J Block?

I haven't heard anything. Why?

Oh, just got a call. Something happening in the showers.

Call from who? I don't know.

Signal was all messed up. Didn't get the Sierra number.

Where were you stationed?

Workshop. You go ahead. I'll cover you.

(THuDn

(FOOTSTEPS)

sh*t! Hurry up!

FRANKY: f*ck! (DOOR LOCK BLEEPS)

To you, Liz.

May I say, you have been extraordinary.

I'd really like to find a way to pay you back.

Do you think you could, uh, find some time for a private chat this afternoon?

Good.

DOUG: Confirmed, Sierra 5. No trouble in J Block.

Don't know who made the call. Copy that. Leave it with me.

(RUSTLING)

(WHEEZES) Sonia, you alright?

PRISONER: sh*t.

Ms Miles, I think something's wrong.

PRISONER: Jesus!

LINDA: Stevens! (SONIA CONVULSES)

BOOMER: What's happening?

LINDA: Right, everyone, get back!

Miles! Miles? What's happening?

Sierra 6, we have a code black in the dining room.

We require assistance and an ambulance immediately, over.

P.A.: Attention, compound, this is a code black.

Code black. All prisoners...

VERA: Stevens? Everybody, stand back.

P.A.: Code black. Code black!

Sonia! Sonia! (WHEEZES)

VERA: Give her air. Jenkins, get back.

VERA: She have any allergies? Nothing on record.

She's not a user? What's happening to her?

Can someone just f*ckin' say something?!

Get her outta here. No, what's happening to her?

LINDA: Ambulance is on the way. BOOMER: I don't wanna go!

I just need to stay until I know she's OK.

WILL: I will tell you. BOOMER: Will you tell me?

WILL: I will, OK? BOOMER: Tell me straightaway.

And you look after her. You look after her, won't ya? Mr J?

But we can't go back. We have to.

There'|| be a count. Come on. sh*t. OK, just go.

I'll be right behind you.

(DOOR LOCK BLEEPS)

This is Sierra 5. What's the situation?

OFFICER: Sierra 5, there's a code black in H Block.

Ferguson? No such luck. Stevens.

Oi, Novak! Stop right there. f*ck.

BOOMER: Hey, Mr J! You should have let me stay.

I just... I just... I need to know that she's alright.

Look, I can't tell you anything right now, Boomer, because I don't know.

What's happened? Oh, it's like...

Sonia, she's, like, had a heart att*ck or something.

FRANKY: Oh, sh*t. Where's Novak?

I think she's in the showers. Liz said she's in medical.

You might be right.

Well, which is it? Not sure.

Uh, this is Sierra 3.

Anyone seen Novak?

JAKE ON RADIO: Sierra 3, this is Sierra 5. I've got her.

WILL: Copy that.

(DOOR SLIDES SHUT)

(SCRUBS)

Where is that ambulance? LINDA: I'll check.

(TOILET FLUSHES)

You OK? Yeah, yeah.

I fed him some bullshit story. I think he fell for it.

Oh, God, that was close.

Will. Don't talk to me.

Mate, you need to hear this.

I think I've discovered an escape plan.

Soon as |ockdown's lifted, we've gotta move.

Hey, I think we should split up, just in case Stewart's watching me.

f*ck, it's not gonna be long before the count and they realise we're gone.

Yeah.

Oi! Oi! Ms Miles, what's happening with Sonia?

Not a lot. BOOMER: Oh.

Right, so she's gonna be OK, though, yeah?

Critical. Might not make it.

What? No. She can't die.

She can't die, 'cause I was just talkin' to her.

She said I... No, she can't...

She can't die.

She... she was... She's not.

(BREATHES RAPIDLY) I can't... She can't die.

(SOBS) I can't...

Oh, God! She can't die!

She...

I don't want to lose everyone.

FRANKY: It's alright. She's not going anywhere.

Lockdown has been lifted. FRANKY: She's in a good place.

Prisoners may leave their units.

Repeat, lockdown has been lifted.

Prisoners may leave their units.

What's the plan?

You two watch base. You two come with me.

And I'll take care of the Freak.

Just give me a sec.

Here we go.

We're not gonna be able to call off the guard.

So we have to make a break. I'll be right behind you.

Yeah. OK. ALLIE: Good luck.

Hey. FRANKY: Hey.

I just got told Sonia's still critical.

Ohh. Well, they'll take care of her, Booms.

You don't have to worry about it, OK?

Yeah.

I love ya.

(SCREAMS)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

You're escaping.

Hey? Yeah. I'm not dumb.

You're going out in the garden shipment and Allie's been helping ya.

Oh, Booms, I don't have time for this.

If you try it, I will f*ckin' lag. I swear.

You're not a lagger, Booms.

Well, if you go, that workshop will be shut down, and everything I worked so f...

...so f*cking hard for will be f*cked.

I'm sorry.

I'm important in here, Franky.

You can't take that away from me.

I will lag.

Booms.

I need to prove to those dickheads that I'm innocent.

Now, I had a taste of my life and I wanna go live it.

Are you gonna take that away from me?

I love you, Booms.

But I gotta go.
