02x15 - I'm OK - You Need Work

Post by bunniefuu »

Professor:
anger. Dismay.

Glaring back at life
with piggish fury.

The poets
of the b*at generation--

Kerouac, ginsberg--

Their names
synonymous with change.

They were to me
what run-d.m.c. Is to you--

Only quieter.

Read these short works
and have an opinion

You can share in mixed company
by half past the hour.

Kenny...

Kenny?

Your father is waiting
for you outside.

Your sister's
been in an accident.

Will she be all right?

Didn't they
say anything?

Kenny, please. I don't
know any more than you do.

Noreen will be fine.

She's resting.

Could I see you a moment?

Yeah.

Get me a diet soda,
will you, son?

Dr. Hastings,
report to therapy room b.

Dr. Hastings,
therapy room b, please.

Kenny?

Could you come with me?

Your sister's room
is right down this hall.

Where's my dad?

Filling out some forms.

Okay...

What is
this bull?

Hey, noreen...

What's going on here?

What is this?

Kenny!

You are now a patient

Of the weller adolescent center
for drug and alcohol abuse.

Says who?

Your family.

You...

Move it!

Out of my way!

What are you doing to me?

Let go of me!

Let go, let go!

What are you guys doing?

Penhall:
admit it.

You spent $ ,
on a ski trip

Because amy went
to hawaii without you.

She did not
go without me.

Hanson, she won
a trip to maui

For two.

She's there.
You're here.

That's going without you.

So, who did she take?

Her sister. I dropped her
off at the airport.

And you fell
for that?

Noreen, what are you
doing here?

Noreen, wait.

Kenny's right.
Part of this is your fault.

I told you,
there's nothing I can do.

Well, you have to.

You can't just
leave him in there.

They're hurting him.

Hanson?

Just read this.

Read what he says.

Noreen...

I'm getting the picture,
and I'm disappointed.

Amy hasn't been
gone three days...

Scented, I trust.

I wish.

I thought I told you
to stay out of it.

She came to me.

He's sneaking letters
with his sister.

I don't care if he's
sending smoke signals.

I said hands off.

Drying out's not
supposed to be fun.

I feel responsible.

Why, because you busted him?

Kenny weckerle
has a drug problem.

He's had a problem

Since you found
him a year ago

Overdosed from heroin.

His family may be
trying to help.

It's not our
jurisdiction

And you're not
a social worker.

Let me talk to his parents.

The letter says...

Read my lips.

Forget it, hanson.

Finish your day.

Go up to the mountains.

Go skiing.

Don't go near that family.

Weckerle:
how dare you come to my house?

That kid tore
this family apart

And I'll be damned if
I'll let some outsider

Tell me what to do.

Mr. Weckerle...

We tried everything.

Counseling, therapy...

He wouldn't go.

And when I dragged him there,
he abused the doctors.

Those doctors are goofballs.

Another word, and you
can go sit in your room.

Officer hanson...

A year ago,
you arrested my son.

You testified against him.

I understand.
You had a job to do.

But you went on
to the next case.

We live that arrest every day.

My wife left me.

He drove her
out of my life

With the screaming
and yelling at each other.

Like you never
screamed before?

That's it.

Upstairs.

Now!

I didn't mean to cause you
any more trouble

But, in these letters,
he says he's being mistreated.

I thought I might
be able to help.

If you really want to help,
mind your own business.

My son will take his lumps
like a man.

Drive.

Noreen...

Quick, before
he catches me.

He's a psycho.

He won't listen to anyone.

It's not a police matter.

You should have
this conversation with him.

Right-- and he'll put me
in the nuthouse, too.

Here, I swiped a copy
of kenny's patient rights.

Kenny says there
isn't one of them

That hasn't been trashed.

That's a police matter,
isn't it?

Let go of me. Damn it!

Get in there!

Shut up!

We don't like doing this.

It's really
up to you.

That's two demerits.

Attention, all patients.

There will be no movie
this evening

Due to the altercation at lunch
this afternoon.

What do you want?

Hi. I'm tina.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I've heard about you.

Oh, really.

What have you heard?

That you like
older guys.

Like that
-year-old
boyfriend

You keep trying
to run away with.

Older guys...

Younger guys...

Mr. Rafferty!

He pulled me in here.

Bad move, ken.

Girl in your room?

We were just talking.

She came in here
on her own!

Lying? That's five demerits.

You'll have time to think
about the truth in isolation.

Maybe she's lying.
Did you ever think about that?

Not much you can do

Once a parent signs their kid
away to one of these places.

Most are fine,
but every now and then...

Average stay eight months.

Average bill $ , .

Magically, most
kids are cured

About the time
their insurance runs out.

The roger s. Amendment
could help.

Roger s.?

Named after a case
of juvenile incarceration.

You can't use
a juvenile's last name

But you can sign
away his rights.

The bill requires a hearing

Before a child
can be incarcerated.

Can we use this to help kenny?

It's just a bill
that can't pass--

Not enough support.

With all this documentation?

They're private hospitals.

The laws you enforce
protect them.

Is there anything we can do?

Not legally.

You lie. You hurt your family...

What do you care?

You're out tomorrow.

Admit it.
You're a screw-up.

You pound tranquilizers
down my throat

And I have a problem?

Can't you benefit
from wayne's experience?

From mr. "I've been
through the program"?

Wake up, doc,
he's no better.

I saw him swapping medication
with someone else.

He's only getting out
because his insurance ran out.

See?

Jeffrey doesn't count.
He's from mars.

Then she waltzes in my room

And I do time
in isolation.

Kenny.

I thought you went
for older guys.

Older than ten.

Kenny.

Everyone else here admits
to their problems.

You should, too.

But I don't have any.

I quit all that.

Doesn't anybody listen?

Kenny...

I'm getting out of here.

You don't listen...

Everything all right?

I want out now.

It's illegal to keep me here.

Two demerits for acting out.

Kiss me twice.

Isolation till : ,
weckerle.

No food, no visitors!

Sorry about the noise.

Hanson!

Coach, come on.

I'm going skiing.

Then why is kenny's
father calling me?

All right, I'm sorry.

I went to see him.

Believe me,
the guy put me in my place.

Uh-huh.

Kenny's got a problem--

Maybe that place is the answer.

Good.

Now get out of here.

And have a good time.

What I plan on doing.

Let go! Let go! Let go!

Mrs. Henderson?

I'm sorry, but we
have to be strong.

It's tough at first

But you've made
the right choice.

Your son is in good hands.

( Hanson yelling )

( Door buzzer )

Good morning.

, Bucks a day.

Don't I get a bed?

Here's your schedule.

School in the morning.

Therapy after lunch.

Also, rules, floor plan
and a copy of your rights.

I got any?

You earn
your freedoms here.

Play by the rules,
earn points.

Points mean
freedoms.

If you have
questions, ask.

If you don't like the answer,
don't ask someone else

Just live with it.

What time's
breakfast?

Oh, you missed
breakfast.

Excuse me.

Tina.

But mr. Rafferty,
I'm still thirsty.

Stay away from her,
henderson.

She has trouble
saying no.

So say it for her.

You're in room .

Right down
this hall.

Yes.

Rafferty gave me my room number,
but some kid named weck...

Weckerle says it's his.

What number did he give you?

.

You must have gone
to the wrong room.

Kenny's in .

Sorry.

Are you going to buy it
or just stare at it?

I want to buy
a railroad.

Then you'd have to land
on a railroad, you dink.

Kenny.

She did it.
You got my letters.

My sister
came through.

Wait a second.

I don't
believe this.

Hey.

Relax.

He's got the chromosome
count of a gnat.

His old man put him in here
because he's embarrassing.

Watch this.

Hey, jeffrey?

You forgot.

You have to go
to the bathroom.

I don't believe this.
I'm halfway home.

Shut up a second.

I can't just bust you
out of here.

I've got to see
this place for myself.

What?

If what you say is true,
I'll get you out.

I swear.

But it's got to be by the book.

Great. Beaver cleaver
to the rescue, huh?

Look at my wrists.

I can't wear my watch

Because they
hurt so bad.

They pound tranquilizers
down my throat

Because according to them

I have a drug problem.

Hanson, man this place is nuts,
all right?

Look I swear to god
whatever proof you need,
I can give it to you.

Just please promise me you'll
get me out of here.

You all right, man?
You need a doctor?

No, he doesn't need a doctor,
he needs a vet.

Feel, I got mice.
Right here, feel

All right, any challenges
for the new guy?

Gee, I don't know. Doesn't look
like he has any problems to me.

All right, tom. Go on.

I'd sell a few things.

Steal , bucks
from my mom, buy a bag.

Mm-hmm.

How do you feel

About stealing from your mother?

How long do we have to sit
and listen to this crap?

How come he gets away
with lying and I can't?

Wasserman:
no one ever really
gets away with lying.

Not in here.

Not outside.

You lied to get me
in here.

That's how they do it.

Right?

All:
yeah.

We were going to europe.

My dad brought me here
for sh*ts.

They're in greece
and I'm still here.

You guys are the biggest liars
of all.

Don't incite aggression
in the group, kenny.

Express yourself
in some other way.

All my other ways
are against the rules, too.

Healthy expression is
not against the rules.

Experiment.

Learn to play with it.

I can't play with it,
you'll cite me for acting out.

You're manipulating
the group.

Let someone else talk.

Forget it.

You're just hacked
because I'm right.

Oh, great.
This is fair.

I open up

And you sic
herman munster on me.

Up.

Go chase yourself.

Get up.

Hey, hey, hey.

Shut up, you.

Wasserman:
what we see here is what happens
when we act out on our impulses.

Hey, save those.

Diazepams are big sellers
around here.

I don't want us to get
in any trouble, okay?

We won't get
into any trouble.

This isn't
a restricted area.

So what happens

When you get hauled out
of a group like that?

Is kenny a friend
of yours?

No, but I thought they were
kind of rough.

Well, it's called behavior mod
and I'd get used to it.

Everybody spends time
in isolation.

Kenny?

Kenny?

Kenny?

Man, it's you.

Listen, I've been thinking.
I can't sleep.

Now do you
believe me?

Do you see what kind
of place this is?

Kenny.

Will you get me out?

I'll get you out.

Shut up
and listen.

First thing in the morning.

We have to do it
before bed checks.

Bed checks?

Get me out of here.

I've figured it out.

Kenny...

There's only one nurse
on duty.

We get past her,
we're out of here.

Undo me, all right?

No, I'm a cop.

Yeah? I'm
a prisoner.

Do I have to hear this
again, hanson?

Tomorrow morning,
I'll get myself out.

I'll talk to my captain.

He can help us.

You think that's really
going to work?

Around here,
their loopholes
have loopholes.

You've got to trust me.

Last time I trusted you,
I ended up in juvenile court.

Will you at least undo this
so I can get some sleep?

Or do you have to ask
your captain first?

I can do it.

Take it easy.

I'll see you in the morning.

Yeah.

Aahh!

Hi.

Tina.

You've got to learn to curb
your feelings.

Why?

Because.

Please get out
of my bed.

Oh.

Thank you.

Come on.

In the hall, now.

Check that room, doug.

I missed bed check.

I had this timed
perfectly.

( Banging on doors )

Come on.

Get in here.

Get in the closet.

Wait, I got
claustrophobia.

It's all in your head.

( Tina groans )

Bathroom.

( Key in door )

Hi.

Bad news, guys.

Honeycut, present
and accounted for.

Come on. Out.

( Grumbling and complaining )

Where was she?

His room.

You were warned about this,
henderson.

Where's the other one?

Still looking.

Other one?

Shut up.

Get her back
to the girls' wing.

Take a head count.

Nobody moves
until we find weckerle.

He escape?

You know what to do
with this one.

( Cry of pain )

Fuller:
penhall.

This bryar court date
got pushed up.

I need hanson's
signature a.s.a.p.

We got to get in touch with him?

I'll send it overnight.

You got his address
at that resort?

You're way too busy.

I'll be glad to contact them.

Them? I thought he went alone?

Did I say them?

No, sir. I meant him.

Sir.

I'll contact him alone
myself, sir.

That's what I meant.

Penhall?

Do you like it

When someone calls
you on vacation?

Just send it overnight.

Hi.

Ever wonder how mice
can live in my stomach

With all those acids and stuff?

Jeffrey.

Or how come islands
never float away?

We had a fire here once.

In fact, we had two fires.

Huge ones.

Like tearing the place apart
in the middle of the night.

No one could
get out.

All that screaming.

Tons of dead people.

Had to rebuild the place
from scratch.

When did this happen?

Yesterday, I think.

Do you think the mice

Swim around or just
climb the walls

When the acid comes?

I don't know.

Jeffrey, can you
get me out of these?

Sure.

Jeffrey.

What?

Get me out.

I can't.

It's against the rules.

Jeffrey, stop!

Got to do that once in a while.

You know what?

You don't look
like you belong here.

I don't think
you should be here.

How long are you going to stay?

Till they say I'm all right.

Yeah.

When's that?

When your mom can't pay
anymore, that's when.

They think
you helped kenny escape.

There's a lot of people
who want to talk to you.

Funny I got here first, huh?

How could he get out?

We're not a maximum
security lock-up.

Every now and then
a patient will get out.

You assured me this kind
of thing wouldn't happen.

No one actually
promised you that.

Every effort is being made
to find him.

Excuse me if I'm not moved
by your efforts, mr. Rafferty.

You could go to the police.

Again.

One place he's likely
to show up is home.

In view of this incident,
maybe I'll welcome him back.

Well I think I should tell
you, they can sometimes be

In very vindictive moods
when they do.

He's going to plead with you.

Ask you for money
to get out of town

Or steal everything
he can get his hands on

And hock it.

You might want
to change your locks.

This is my son
we're talking about.

Yes, but you signed him
over to us.

It's not likely
he's forgiven you just yet.

My advice is,
if he does show up

At home,
call us immediately.

You just find my son.

There's a rumor
going around, tom.

I thought I'd
let you clear it up.

How do you feel?

How should I feel after
eight hours in these things?

Four hours is the longest
a minor can be restrained.

Where did you hear that?

Someone said they saw you
with kenny

Just before
he escaped.

Someone?

Someone.

No one gets away
with anything

Around here.

It's part of the program.

It's part of what we do--
integrity

Trust in people,
in your community.

You want to tell me

What you were doing
in there with kenny?

Undo these things.

See?

You helped him.

He told you
how he'd get out

And where he'd go.

Now you tell me.

You can try to get well

Or you can stay
in these restraints.

What? Till my insurance
runs out?

That's up to you.

What you're doing is illegal.

You're in a lot of trouble.

No, you're in a lot of trouble.

Forcing medication, brutality,
violating patients' rights.

I can quiet you again
very easily.

Half these kids
shouldn't even be here.

Quiet.

What will you do
when the roger s. Decision

Gets passed?

You know a lot for a kid

Who steals from his mom
to buy cr*ck.

Let me out of these now!

You might att*ck me.

I'm a cop.

I'm an undercover cop.

That's ridiculous.

Get me to a phone.

I'll prove it.

You're not a cop.

Just a punk kid and a liar.

Mark rafferty to maintenance,
urgent.

Wasserman:
he got stuck
half way.

Half way in,
half way out.

Stopped his own air.

No. Take this out.

Take all of this out.

Bill, he was not
on antipsychotics.

Mark...

There was no negligence
on the part of this hospital.

Kenny weckerle snuck out
and vanished.

Why is that difficult
to understand?

I just have
a little trouble lying.

That's how I remember it

And that is the only report
I intend to sign.

Will you at least
forget the idea

Of sending henderson
to state hospital?

The kid threatened me

Had a girl in his room

And thinks he's a cop.

Don't we face enough
bad press with weckerle?

We've got a business to protect.

State hospital is
no place to be.

I worked there.

They don't treat
kids there.

They warehouse them.

Trust me on this one.

Tom is a bad product.

Some kids must be warehoused.

Isn't it time you started
realizing that?

They'll be looking at us
very closely.

Listen to me.

Get me a new report
on the weckerle incident.

And sign henderson out.

I want to move him
while he's still calm.

Amy hasn't heard
from him?

No, and she is
so worried

She can't stop crying.

Same with hanson's mom.

I feel great.

But he had reservations?

Did, yeah.

Got the package,
but no guest.

He never checked in.

He's not in any
other resort
in the area.

Hanson isn't used to icy roads.

Guys

Hanson is a grown man.

A grown man who has been
missing three days.

Hoffs.

He's, uh... Sort of
lying down right now.

I'd really hate
to wake him up.

Who is it,
noreen?

Mr. Weckerle,
captain fuller.

This is officer hoffs.

We've talked
on the phone.

Yeah. What do you want?

Your help.

Officer hanson
is missing.

We thought you might

Help us find him.

We know he has been
concerned about kenny

And might have tried
to contact him.

Officer hanson told me
a lot of things.

But I didn't listen, did i?

I threw him out of my house.

He told me they
were hurting kenny.

And I just let the damn
hospital do it.

Do what,
mr. Weckerle?

I'm sorry, captain.

So officer hanson is missing?

My son is missing, too.

He's dead.

Rafferty:
we have been here seven years.

Nothing like this
has happened before.

As far as visitors
kenny may have had

I can personally
assure you

None of them was
a police officer.

He would have been undercover.

Without my knowledge?

He wasn't on duty.

Oh. You mean as a patient?

That's not the relationship
we've had with the police

In the past.

I'm sorry.

It's been
a rough couple of days.

I just don't
see why

We should suddenly

Become suspicious
of one another.

The fact remains that
a police officer is missing.

And in the spirit
of our good relationship

We'd like to look around.

I'd love to let you
but I don't think legal

Would like
it much.

If parents heard

That cops interrogated
our children...

We won't interrogate.

We're just looking for a friend.

Well, as a representative
of the weller medical group

Knowing the legal problems
that can occur

I don't think it would
be wise to allow

The violation
of our patients' rights--

Certainly not
without a warrant.

Excuse me, fellas.

I'd like to ask
a few questions.

I don't believe your warrant
included interrogations.

Being a little protective,
aren't we?

Shall we continue
your look around?

Maybe you could ask
the questions for me.

I don't see why not.

Jeffrey.

Oh. Hello,
mr. Rafferty.

Hello, jeffrey.

This is captain fuller.

He is looking for one
of his police officers.

Has anyone in here said
they were a police officer?

Yeah. There's a cop in here.

I've talked to him.

In fact, there's two cops.

And a race car driver

And a guy
who can fly.

Thanks, jeffrey.

He can. I've seen him.

Don't take my brush!

Ladies.

Excuse me a second.

Listen, all of you--
back to your rooms.

This minute.

Man, you're really gorgeous.

When did you get here?

And when are you leaving?

I'm not a patient.

I'm a cop.

Yeah, and I'm a ballerina.

Three demerits.
Four for you.

Have you seen
this guy?

Yeah.

Where is he?

I don't know.
They moved him.

Moved him where?

Excuse me.

Moved him where?

State hospital.

I can't remember everyone.

On a night like this

We could get a dozen guys
like you've described.

' ", Pounds.

Dark hair.

You could try admitting.

He might not have
a permanent bed yet.

( Wailing and screaming )

Which way?

I'll go this way.

Darling,
you've come.

Why don't we both
go this way?

Hanson.

Sit up, pal.

It's us, man.

Swing your legs out.

We'll get you
home, pal.

Take it easy.

Where we going?

Take it easy.

You all right?

( Slurring ):
how do I look?

You okay?

Just give me a minute.

...breach of contract,
trespassing

Violation of patient-
doctor privilege.

You forgot smoking
in the elevator.

I left out
insurance fraud.

That's between you and
your insurance company.

My insurance company.

As if you don't have
enough legal problems.

What is the point here?

The weller group has
released mark rafferty

Pending further
investigation

Of your findings.

Mr. Hanson

We are offering to drop
all lawsuits against you

If you agree not to speak

In favor of the roger s.

When it comes before
the legislature.

The treatment program at weller
is one of the country's best.

Unfortunately, it takes
more than a few days

To see the results.

It's what happens
while they're in there

That concerns me.

Let's just say I question

The effectiveness
of your program.

You shouldn't treat these suits
against you so lightly.

Your captain
can tell you

What negative
attention

Could mean for you
and your program.

That's it?

That's all I've
got to do?

Well, I think the system
has a lot of kinks in it.

I think parents ought
to know about them.

So you go ahead
and sue me.

You heard the man.
